¹Ary nony afaka izany, ny Tompo nanendry olona hafa koa, dia fito-polo lahy, ka naniraka azy tsiroaroa hialoha Azy any amin'ny tanàna sy ny tany rehetra izay efa halehany.

¹And after these things, the Lord did appoint also other seventy, and sent them by twos before his face, to every city and place whither he himself was about to come,

²Ary hoy Izy taminy: Be ny vokatra, fa ny mpiasa no vitsy; koa amin'izany mangataha amin'ny Tompon'ny vokatra mba hampandehanany mpiasa hamory ny vokatra.

²then said he unto them, `The harvest indeed [is] abundant, but the workmen few; beseech ye then the Lord of the harvest, that He may put forth workmen to His harvest.

³Mandehana; indro, Izaho maniraka anareo tahaka ny zanak'ondry eo ampovoan'ny amboadia.[ lopa]

³`Go away; lo, I send you forth as lambs in the midst of wolves;

⁴Aza mitondra kitapom-bola, na kitapom-batsy, na kapa; ary aza miarahaba olona akory eny an-dalana.

⁴carry no bag, no scrip, nor sandals; and salute no one on the way;

⁵Ary izay trano idiranareo, dia lazao aloha hoe: Fiadanana ho amin'ity trano ity.

⁵and into whatever house ye do enter, first say, Peace to this house;

⁶Ary raha misy zanaky ny fiadanana ao, dia hitoetra ao aminy ny fiadanana tononinareo; fa raha tsy izany, dia hiverina ho aminareo ihany izany.

⁶and if indeed there may be there the son of peace, rest on it shall your peace; and if not so, upon you it shall turn back.

⁷Ary mitoera ao amin'izany trano izany, ka mihinàna sy misotroa izay zavatra omeny; fa ny mpiasa miendrika hahazo ny karamany. Aza mifindrafindra trano.

⁷`And in that house remain, eating and drinking the things they have, for worthy [is] the workman of his hire; go not from house to house,

⁸Ary izay tanàna iakaranareo, ka mandray anareo ny olona, dia hano izay zavatra aroso eo anoloanareo.

⁸and into whatever city ye enter, and they may receive you, eat the things set before you,

⁹Ary sitrano izay marary ao, ka lazao amin'ny olona hoe: Efa mby akaiky anareo ny fanjakan'Andriamanitra.

⁹and heal the ailing in it, and say to them, The reign of God hath come nigh to you.

¹⁰Fa izay tanàna iakaranareo, ka tsy mandray anareo kosa ny olona, dia mankanesa eo amin'ny lalambe, ka lazao hoe:

¹⁰`And into whatever city ye do enter, and they may not receive you, having gone forth to its broad places, say,

¹¹Ny vovoky ny tanànanareo aza, izay miraikitra amin'ny tongotray, dia fafànay hiampanga anareo; nefa aoka ho fantatrareo fa efa mby akaiky anareo ny fanjakan'Andriamanitra.

¹¹And the dust that hath cleaved to us, from your city, we do wipe off against you, but this know ye, that the reign of God hath come nigh to you;

¹²Lazaiko aminareo fa ho moramora kokoa ny ho amin'i Sodoma amin'izany andro izany noho ny ho amin'izany tanàna izany.

¹²and I say to you, that for Sodom in that day it shall be more tolerable than for that city.

¹³Lozanao, ry Korazina! lozanao, ry Betsaida! fa raha mba tany Tyro sy Sidona no natao ny asa lehibe izay natao teo aminareo, dia ho nibebaka ela izy ka nitafy lamba fisaonana sy nipetraka amin'ny lavenona.

¹³`Wo to thee, Chorazin; wo to thee, Bethsaida; for if in Tyre and Sidon had been done the mighty works that were done in you, long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes, they had reformed;

¹⁴Fa ho moramora kokoa ny ho amin'i Tyro sy Sidona amin'ny andro fitsarana noho ny ho aminareo.

¹⁴but for Tyre and Sidon it shall be more tolerable in the judgment than for you.

¹⁵Ary ianao, ry Kapernaomy, hasandratra hatrany an-danitra va ianao? Haetry hatrany amin'ny fiainan-tsi-hita ianao.[Gr. Hadesy]

¹⁵`And thou, Capernaum, which unto the heaven wast exalted, unto hades thou shalt be brought down.

¹⁶Izay mihaino anareo dia mihaino Ahy; ary izay mandà anareo dia mandà Ahy; ary izay mandà Ahy dia mandà Izay naniraka Ahy.

¹⁶`He who is hearing you, doth hear me; and he who is putting you away, doth put me away; and he who is putting me away, doth put away Him who sent me.`

¹⁷Ary ny fito-polo lahy niverina tamin'ny fifaliana ka nanao hoe: Tompo ô, na dia ny demonia aza dia manaiky anay noho ny anaranao.

¹⁷And the seventy turned back with joy, saying, `Sir, and the demons are being subjected to us in thy name;`

¹⁸Fa hoy Jesosy taminy: Izaho nahita an'i Satana latsaka avy tany an-danitra tahaka ny varatra.

¹⁸and he said to them, `I was beholding the Adversary, as lightning from the heaven having fallen;

¹⁹Indro, efa nomeko fahefana hanitsaka menarana sy maingoka sy handresy ny hery rehetra ananan'ny fahavalo ianareo, ka tsy hisy hampaninona anareo akory.

¹⁹lo, I give to you the authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and on all the power of the enemy, and nothing by any means shall hurt you;

²⁰Kanefa aza mifaly ianareo, satria manaiky anareo ny fanahy; fa mifalia, satria voasoratra any an-danitra ny anaranareo.

²⁰but, in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subjected to you, but rejoice rather that your names were written in the heavens.`

²¹Ary tamin'izany ora izany dia ravoravo tamin'ny Fanahy Masina Jesosy ka nanao hoe: Midera Anao Aho, Raiko ô, Tompon'ny lanitra sy ny tany, fa efa nafeninao tamin'ny hendry sy ny manan-tsaina izany ka nasehonao tamin'ny zaza madinika; eny, Raiko, fa izany no sitrakao.

²¹In that hour was Jesus glad in the Spirit, and said, `I do confess to thee, Father, Lord of the heaven and of the earth, that Thou didst hide these things from wise men and understanding, and didst reveal them to babes; yes, Father, because so it became good pleasure before Thee.

²²Ny zavatra rehetra dia efa natolotry ny Raiko Ahy; ary tsy misy mahalala ny Zanaka afa-tsy ny Ray, ary ny Ray afa-tsy ny Zanaka sy izay tian'ny Zanaka hanehoana Azy.

²²`All things were delivered up to me by my Father, and no one doth know who the Son is, except the Father, and who the Father is, except the Son, and he to whom the Son may wish to reveal [Him].`

²³Ary nitodika tamin'ny mpianany Izy, dia nilaza taminy manokana hoe: Sambatra ny maso mahita izay hitanareo.

²³And having turned unto the disciples, he said, by themselves, `Happy the eyes that are perceiving what ye perceive;

²⁴Fa lazaiko aminareo fa mpaminany sy mpanjaka maro no naniry hahita izay hitanareo, fa tsy nahita, ary naniry nahare izay renareo, fa tsy nahare.

²⁴for I say to you, that many prophets and kings did wish to see what ye perceive, and did not see, and to hear what ye hear, and did not hear.`

²⁵Ary, indro, nisy mpahay lalàna anankiray nitsangana ka naka fanahy an'i Jesosy hoe: Mpampianatra ô, inona no hataoko handovako fiainana mandrakizay?

²⁵And lo, a certain lawyer stood up, trying him, and saying, `Teacher, what having done, life age-during shall I inherit?`

²⁶Ary hoy Izy taminy: Inona no voasoratra ao amin'ny lalàna? Manao ahoana no famakinao azy?

²⁶And he said unto him, `In the law what hath been written? how dost thou read?`

²⁷Ary izy namaly ka nanao hoe: Tiava an'i Jehovah Andriamanitrao amin'ny fonao rehetra sy ny fanahinao rehetra sy ny herinao rehetra ary ny sainao rehetra (Deo. 6. 5); ary, Tiava ny namanao tahaka ny tenanao (Lev. 19. 18).

²⁷And he answering said, `Thou shalt love the Lord thy God out of all thy heart, and out of all thy soul, and out of all thy strength, and out of all thy understanding, and thy neighbour as thyself.`

²⁸Ary hoy Jesosy taminy: Marina ny navalinao; ataovy izany, dia ho velona ianao.

²⁸And he said to him, `Rightly thou didst answer; this do, and thou shalt live.`

²⁹Fa izy ta-hanamarina ny tenany ka nanao tamin'i Jesosy hoe: Iza ary no namako?

²⁹And he, willing to declare himself righteous, said unto Jesus, `And who is my neighbour?`

³⁰Ary Jesosy namaly ka nanao hoe: Nisy lehilahy anankiray nidina avy tany Jerosalema hankany Jeriko ka azon'ny jiolahy, dia nendahany ny lambany, sady nokapohiny izy, dia nilaozany, rehefa saiky maty.

³⁰and Jesus having taken up [the word], said, `A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, and having stripped him and inflicted blows, they went away, leaving [him] half dead.

³¹Ary sendra nisy mpisorona anankiray nidina tamin'izany lalana izany; ary raha nahita an-dralehilahy izy, dia nandalo azy.

³¹`And by a coincidence a certain priest was going down in that way, and having seen him, he passed over on the opposite side;

³²Ary toy izany koa ny Levita anankiray, izay tonga teo, dia nahita azy, nefa nandalo koa.

³²and in like manner also, a Levite, having been about the place, having come and seen, passed over on the opposite side.

³³Fa nisy kosa Samaritana anankiray nandeha tamin'ny nalehany ka tonga teo aminy, ary nony nahita azy, dia onena.

³³`But a certain Samaritan, journeying, came along him, and having seen him, he was moved with compassion,

³⁴Dia nanatona izy, ka nofeheziny ny feriny, sady nasiany diloilo sy divay; dia nampitaingeniny tamin'ny bibiny izy, ka nentiny ho any amin'ny tranom-bahiny, dia notsaboiny.

³⁴and having come near, he bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine, and having lifted him up on his own beast, he brought him to an inn, and was careful of him;

³⁵Ary nony ampitson'iny, dia naka denaria roa izy, ka nomeny ny tompon'ny tranom-bahiny, sady nanao taminy hoe: Tsaboy izy; ary na hoatrinona na hoatrinona no laninao mihoatra noho ireto dia honerako, rehefa miverina aho.

³⁵and on the morrow, going forth, taking out two denaries, he gave to the innkeeper, and said to him, Be careful of him, and whatever thou mayest spend more, I, in my coming again, will give back to thee.

³⁶Iza moa amin'izy telo lahy no ataonao ho naman'ilay azon'ny jiolahy?

³⁶`Who, then, of these three, seemeth to thee to have become neighbour of him who fell among the robbers?`

³⁷Ary hoy izy: Ilay niantra azy. Dia hoy Jesosy taminy: Mandehana ianao, ka mba manaova toy izany koa.

³⁷and he said, `He who did the kindness with him,` then Jesus said to him, `Be going on, and thou be doing in like manner.`

³⁸Ary raha nandeha izy ireo, dia niditra teo amin'ny vohitra anankiray Jesosy; ary nisy vehivavy anankiray atao hoe Marta nampiantrano Azy ho ao an-tranony.

³⁸And it came to pass, in their going on, that he entered into a certain village, and a certain woman, by name Martha, did receive him into her house,

³⁹Ary izy nanana rahavavy atao hoe Maria, izay nipetraka teo anilan'ny tongotry ny Tompo ka nihaino ny teniny.

³⁹and she had also a sister, called Mary, who also, having seated herself beside the feet of Jesus, was hearing the word,

⁴⁰Fa Marta sahirana tamin'ny fanompoana be; dia avy izy ka nanao hoe: Tompoko, moa tsy mampaninona Anao va ny amelan'ny rahavaviko ahy hanompo irery? koa mba asaovy manampy ahy izy.

⁴⁰and Martha was distracted about much serving, and having stood by him, she said, `Sir, dost thou not care that my sister left me alone to serve? say then to her, that she may partake along with me.`

⁴¹Fa ny Tompo namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Marta, Marta, maro ahina sy maro herehina ianao;nefa zavatra iray loha no ilaina; fa Maria no efa nifidy ny anjara tsara, izay tsy halaina aminy.

⁴¹And Jesus answering said to her, `Martha, Martha, thou art anxious and disquieted about many things,

⁴²nefa zavatra iray loha no ilaina; fa Maria no efa nifidy ny anjara tsara, izay tsy halaina aminy.

⁴²but of one thing there is need, and Mary the good part did choose, that shall not be taken away from her.`
