¹Ary rehefa afaka izany, dia nandeha tany Galilia Jesosy; fa nalain-kandeha tany Jodia Izy, satria nitady hahafaty Azy ny Jiosy.

¹And Jesus was walking after these things in Galilee, for he did not wish to walk in Judea, because the Jews were seeking to kill him,

²Ary efa akaiky ny andro firavoravoan'ny Jiosy, dia ny amin'ny Tabernakely,

²and the feast of the Jews was nigh — that of tabernacles —

³ka hoy ny rahalahiny taminy: Mialà eto, ka mandehana ho any Jodia, mba ho hitan'ny mpianatrao koa ny asa izay ataonao;

³his brethren, therefore, said unto him, `Remove hence, and go away to Judea, that thy disciples also may behold thy works that thou dost;

⁴fa tsy misy olona manao zavatra amin'ny takona, nefa ny tenany mitady ho hita miharihary; raha manao izany zavatra izany Hianao, dia misehoa amin'izao tontolo izao. [Na: mitady ho hita fa matoky]

⁴for no one in secret doth anything, and himself seeketh to be in public; if thou dost these things — manifest thyself to the world;`

⁵Fa na dia ny rahalahiny aza tsy nino Azy.

⁵for not even were his brethren believing in him.

⁶Dia hoy Jesosy taminy: Tsy mbola tonga ny fotoako; fa ny fotoanareo dia vonona lalandava.

⁶Jesus, therefore, saith to them, `My time is not yet present, but your time is always ready;

⁷Tsy mahazo mankahala anareo izao tontolo izao; fa Izaho no halany, satria milaza fa ratsy ny asany.

⁷the world is not able to hate you, but me it doth hate, because I testify concerning it that its works are evil.

⁸Miakara ho amin'ny andro firavoravoana ianareo; fa Izaho tsy mbola miakatra ho amin'ity andro firavoravoana ity; satria tsy mbola tonga ny fotoako.

⁸Ye — go ye up to this feast; I do not yet go up to this feast, because my time hath not yet been fulfilled;`

⁹Ary rehefa nilaza izany teny izany taminy Izy, dia mbola nitoetra tany Galilia ihany.

⁹and saying these things to them, he remained in Galilee.

¹⁰Fa rehefa lasa niakatra ho amin'ny andro firavoravoana ny rahalahiny, dia niakatra koa Izy, nefa tsy mba nisehoseho, fa toa niafinafina.

¹⁰And when his brethren went up, then also he himself went up to the feast, not manifestly, but as in secret;

¹¹Ary ny Jiosy dia nitady Azy tamin'ny andro firavoravoana ka nanao hoe: Aiza Izy?

¹¹the Jews, therefore, were seeking him, in the feast, and said, `Where is that one?`

¹²Ary nitakoritsika Azy be ihany ny vahoaka. Hoy ny sasany: Tsara fanahy Izy; fa hoy kosa ny sasany; Tsia; fa mamitaka ny vahoaka Izy.

¹²and there was much murmuring about him among the multitudes, some indeed said — `He is good;` and others said, `No, but he leadeth astray the multitude;`

¹³Nefa tsy nisy sahy niresaka Azy miharihary noho ny fahatahorany ny Jiosy.

¹³no one, however, was speaking freely about him, through fear of the Jews.

¹⁴Ary rehefa nisasaka ny andro firavoravoana, dia niakatra teo an-kianjan'ny tempoly Jesosy ka nampianatra.

¹⁴And it being now the middle of the feast, Jesus went up to the temple, and he was teaching,

¹⁵Dia gaga ny Jiosy ka nanao hoe: Ahoana no nahaizan'ilehity soratra, nefa tsy mba nianatra Izy?

¹⁵and the Jews were wondering, saying, `How hath this one known letters — not having learned?`

¹⁶Dia namaly azy Jesosy ka nanao hoe: Tsy Ahy ny fampianarako, fa an'izay naniraka Ahy.

¹⁶Jesus answered them and said, `My teaching is not mine, but His who sent me;

¹⁷Raha misy olona ta-hanao ny sitrapony, dia hahalala ny amin'ny fampianarana izy, na avy amin'Andriamanitra izany, na miteny ho Ahy Aho.

¹⁷if any one may will to do His will, he shall know concerning the teaching, whether it is of God, or — I do speak from myself.

¹⁸Izay miteny ho azy dia mitady ny voninahitry ny tenany; fa izay mitady ny voninahitr'izay naniraka azy no marina, ary tsy misy tsi-fahamarinana ao aminy.

¹⁸`He who is speaking from himself his own glory doth seek, but he who is seeking the glory of him who sent him, this one is true, and unrighteousness is not in him;

¹⁹Tsy Mosesy va no nanome anareo ny lalàna? nefa tsy misy eo aminareo mankatò ny lalàna. Nahoana ianareo no mitady hamono Ahy?

¹⁹hath not Moses given you the law? and none of you doth the law; why me do ye seek to kill?`

²⁰Ny vahoaka namaly hoe: Manana demonia Hianao; iza no mitady hamono Anao?

²⁰The multitude answered and said, `Thou hast a demon, who doth seek to kill thee?`

²¹Jesosy namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Asa iray loha ihany no nataoko, ka gaga avokoa ianareo rehetra.

²¹Jesus answered and said to them, `One work I did, and ye all wonder,

²²Izao no nanomezan'i Mosesy anareo ny famorana: tsy noho izy avy tamin'i Mosesy, fa noho izy avy tamin'ny razana, ka na dia amin'ny Sabata aza dia mamora olona ihany ianareo.

²²because of this, Moses hath given you the circumcision — not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers — and on a sabbath ye circumcise a man;

²³Raha amin'ny Sabata aza no amorana olona, mba tsy hahafoana ny lalàn'i Mosesy, dia tezitra amiko va ianareo, satria nisy olona anankiray nataoko sitrana avokoa ny tenany rehetra tamin'ny Sabata.

²³if a man doth receive circumcision on a sabbath that the law of Moses may not be broken, are ye wroth with me that I made a man all whole on a sabbath?

²⁴Aza mitsara araka ny miseho, fa mba mitsarà marina.

²⁴judge not according to appearance, but the righteous judgment judge.`

²⁵Ary ny mponina sasany tany Jerosalema dia nanao hoe: Tsy Ilehity va Ilay tadiaviny hovonoina?

²⁵Certain, therefore, of the Jerusalemites said, `Is not this he whom they are seeking to kill?

²⁶Ary indro Izy miteny miharihary, nefa tsy misy miteny Azy akory. Sao efa fantatry ny mpanapaka anie fa Io no Kristy?

²⁶and, lo, he doth speak freely, and they say nothing to him; did the rulers at all know truly that this is truly the Christ?

²⁷Nefa fantatsika izay nihavian'ilehio, fa raha avy Kristy, tsy misy mahalala izay hihaviany.

²⁷but this one — we have known whence he is; and the Christ, when he doth come, no one doth know whence he is.`

²⁸Dia niantso teo an-kianjan'ny tempoly Jesosy, raha nampianatra, ka nanao hoe: Izaho dia fantatrareo, sady fantatrareo koa izay nihaviako; ary tsy avy ho Ahy Aho, fa marina ny naniraka Ahy, Izay tsy fantatrareo.

²⁸Jesus cried, therefore, in the temple, teaching and saying, `Ye have both known me, and ye have known whence I am; and I have not come of myself, but He who sent me is true, whom ye have not known;

²⁹Izaho mahalala Azy; fa Izy no nihaviako, ka Izy no naniraka Ahy.

²⁹and I have known Him, because I am from Him, and He did send me.`

³⁰Dia nitady hisambotra Azy ny olona; kanefa tsy nisy naninji-tanana taminy, satria tsy mbola tonga ny fotoany.

³⁰They were seeking, therefore, to seize him, and no one laid the hand on him, because his hour had not yet come,

³¹Ary maro ny vahoaka no nino Azy ka nanao hoe: Raha tonga Kristy, moa hanao famantarana maro mihoatra noho ny nataon'ity Lehilahy ity va Izy?

³¹and many out of the multitude did believe in him, and said — `The Christ — when he may come — will he do more signs than these that this one did?`

³²Ny Fariseo nandre ny vahoaka nitakoritsika izany zavatra izany ny aminy; ary ny lohan'ny mpisorona sy ny Fariseo dia naniraka mpiandry raharaha mba hisambotra Azy.

³²The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him, and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers that they may take him;

³³Dia hoy Jesosy: Kely foana no itoerako aminareo, dia hankany amin'izay naniraka Ahy Aho.

³³Jesus, therefore, said to them, `Yet a little time I am with you, and I go away unto Him who sent me;

³⁴Hitady Ahy ianareo, fa tsy hahita; ary izay itoerako dia tsy azonareo haleha.

³⁴ye will seek me, and ye shall not find; and where I am, ye are not able to come.`

³⁵Dia niresaka hoe ny Jiosy: Hankaiza moa no halehan'ilehity, no tsy ho hitantsika? Hankany amin'izay miely any amin'ny Grika va Izy ka hampianatra ny Grika?

³⁵The Jews, therefore, said among themselves, `Whither is this one about to go that we shall not find him? — to the dispersion of the Greeks is he about to go? and to teach the Greeks;

³⁶Ahoana re izao teny nolazainy izao hoe: Hitady Ahy ianareo, fa tsy hahita; ary izay itoerako tsy azonareo haleha?

³⁶what is this word that he said, Ye will seek me, and ye shall not find? and, Where I am, ye are not able to come?`

³⁷Ary tamin'ny andro farany, izay andro lehibe tamin'ny andro firavoravoana, dia nitsangana Jesosy ka niantso nanao hoe: Raha misy olona mangetaheta, aoka izy hanatona Ahy ka hisotro.

³⁷And in the last, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, `If any one doth thirst, let him come unto me and drink;

³⁸Izay mino Ahy, dia hisy onin'ny rano velona miboiboika avy ao an-kibony, araka ny voalazan'ny Soratra Masina.

³⁸he who is believing in me, according as the Writing said, Rivers out of his belly shall flow of living water;`

³⁹Ary ny Fanahy, Izay efa horaisin'ny mino Azy, no nolazainy tamin'izany; fa ny Fanahy tsy mbola nomena, satria Jesosy tsy mbola niditra tamin'ny voninahiny. [ Na: Fanahy Masina]

³⁹and this he said of the Spirit, which those believing in him were about to receive; for not yet was the Holy Spirit, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

⁴⁰Ary ny sasany tamin'ny vahoaka, raha nandre izany teny izany, dia nanao hoe: Ity tokoa no Ilay Mpaminany.

⁴⁰Many, therefore out of the multitude, having heard the word, said, `This is truly the Prophet;`

⁴¹Hoy ny sasany: Ity no Kristy. Fa hoy kosa ny sasany: Avy any Galilia va no ihavian'i Kristy?

⁴¹others said, `This is the Christ;` and others said, `Why, out of Galilee doth the Christ come?

⁴²Tsy voalazan'ny Soratra Masina va fa Kristy dia avy amin'ny taranak'i Davida, sady avy ao Betlehema, vohitra nonenan'i Davida (Mik. 5. 1)?

⁴²Did not the Writing say, that out of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem — the village where David was — the Christ doth come?`

⁴³Dia nisara-tsaina ny amin'i Jesosy ny vahoaka.

⁴³A division, therefore, arose among the multitude because of him.

⁴⁴Ary ny sasany nitady hisambotra Azy; kanefa tsy nisy naninji-tanana taminy.

⁴⁴And certain of them were willing to seize him, but no one laid hands on him;

⁴⁵Ary ny mpiandry raharaha nankeo amin'ny lohan'ny mpisorona sy ny Fariseo, ka hoy izy ireo taminy: Nahoana ianareo no tsy nitondra Azy?

⁴⁵the officers came, therefore, unto the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, `Wherefore did ye not bring him?`

⁴⁶Ny mpiandry raharaha namaly hoe: Tsy mbola nisy olona niteny tahaka izany.

⁴⁶The officers answered, `Never so spake man — as this man.`

⁴⁷Ary ny Fariseo namaly azy hoe: Hianareo koa va voafitaka?

⁴⁷The Pharisees, therefore, answered them, `Have ye also been led astray?

⁴⁸Moa misy mpanapaka na Fariseo mba nino Azy?

⁴⁸did any one out of the rulers believe in him? or out of the Pharisees?

⁴⁹Fa voaozona ireto vahoaka ireto, izay tsy mahalala ny lalàna.

⁴⁹but this multitude, that is not knowing the law, is accursed.`

⁵⁰Ary Nikodemosy, anankiray teo aminy, dia ilay nankeo amin'i Jesosy teo aloha, dia nanao taminy hoe:

⁵⁰Nicodemus saith unto them — he who came by night unto him — being one of them,

⁵¹Moa manameloka olona va ny lalàntsika, raha tsy mbola mihaino azy aloha ka mahafantatra izay nataony?

⁵¹`Doth our law judge the man, if it may not hear from him first, and know what he doth?`

⁵²Izy ireo namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Hianao koa angaha mba avy any Galilia? Diniho, dia ho hitanao fa tsy mba misy mpaminany avy any Galilia.[Dia samy lasa nody ho any an-tranony avy izy rehetra;]

⁵²They answered and said to him, `Art thou also out of Galilee? search and see, that a prophet out of Galilee hath not risen;`

⁵³[Dia samy lasa nody ho any an-tranony avy izy rehetra;]

⁵³and each one went on to his house, but Jesus went on to the mount of the Olives.
