¹Ary Jesosy niditra ka nandeha namaky an'i Jeriko.

¹And having entered, he was passing through Jericho,

²Ary, indro, nisy lehilahy atao hoe Zakaiosy, izay lehiben'ny mpamory hetra sady nanan-karena.

²and lo, a man, by name called Zaccheus, and he was a chief tax-gatherer, and he was rich,

³Ary nitady hahita izay Jesosy izy, kanefa ny afaka noho ny habetsahan'ny olona nifanety, satria fohy izy.

³and he was seeking to see Jesus, who he is, and was not able for the multitude, because in stature he was small,

⁴Dia nihazakazaka nialoha izy ka nananika aviavy hizaha an'i Jesosy; fa efa handalo tamin'izany lalana izany Izy.

⁴and having run forward before, he went up on a sycamore, that he may see him, because through that [way] he was about to pass by.

⁵Ary rehefa tonga teo Jesosy, dia niandrandra ka nanao taminy hoe: Ry Zakaiosy, midina faingana; fa tsy maintsy mitoetra ao an-tranonao Aho anio.

⁵And as Jesus came up to the place, having looked up, he saw him, and said unto him, `Zaccheus, having hastened, come down, for to-day in thy house it behoveth me to remain;`

⁶Dia nidina faingana izy ka nampiantrano Azy sady faly.

⁶and he having hastened did come down, and did receive him rejoicing;

⁷Ary raha nahita izany izy rehetra, dia nimonomonona ka nanao hoe: Lasa nandeha hiantrano amin'izay lehilahy mpanota Izy.

⁷and having seen [it], they were all murmuring, saying — `With a sinful man he went in to lodge!`

⁸Fa Zakaiosy kosa nitsangana ka nanao tamin'ny Tompo hoe: Indro, Tompoko, ny antsasaky ny fananako omeko ho an'ny malahelo; ary raha misy zavatr'olona nalaiko tamin'ny fanambakana, dia honerako avy efatra heny izany.

⁸And Zaccheus having stood, said unto the Lord, `Lo, the half of my goods, sir, I give to the poor, and if of any one anything I did take by false accusation, I give back fourfold.`

⁹Ary hoy Jesosy taminy: Anio no tonga eto amin'ity trano ity ny famonjena, fa izy dia zanak'i Abrahama koa.

⁹And Jesus said unto him — `To-day salvation did come to this house, inasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham;

¹⁰Fa efa tonga ny Zanak'olona hitady sy hamonjy ny very.

¹⁰for the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.`

¹¹Ary raha mbola nihaino izany ny olona, dia nandroso niteny ihany Jesosy ka nanao fanoharana, satria efa akaiky an'i Jerosalema Izy, ka nataon'ny olona fa hiseho faingana ny fanjakan'Andriamanitra.

¹¹And while they are hearing these things, having added he spake a simile, because of his being nigh to Jerusalem, and of their thinking that the reign of God is about presently to be made manifest.

¹²Dia hoy Izy: Nisy andriandahy anankiray nandeha nankany an-tany lavitra mba handray fahefana hanjaka, dia hiverina.

¹²He said therefore, `A certain man of birth went on to a far country, to take to himself a kingdom, and to return,

¹³Dia niantso folo lahy tamin'ny mpanompony izy ary nanome azy farantsa folo ka nanao taminy hoe: Mandrantoa mandra-pihaviko. [Gr. mina = drakma = tokony ho farantsa 15]

¹³and having called ten servants of his own, he gave to them ten pounds, and said unto them, Do business — till I come;

¹⁴Fa ny vahoakany nankahala azy, dia nampitondra reny nanaraka azy nanao hoe: Tsy manaiky hanjakan'iny lehilahy iny izahay.[Na: vahoaka namany]

¹⁴and his citizens were hating him, and did send an embassy after him, saying, We do not wish this one to reign over us.

¹⁵Ary nony tafaverina izy, rehefa nandray fahefana hanjaka, dia nasainy nantsoina hankeo aminy izany mpanompo nomeny ny vola izany mba hahitany izay azony tamin'ny fandrantoana.

¹⁵`And it came to pass, on his coming back, having taken the kingdom, that he commanded these servants to be called to him, to whom he gave the money, that he might know what any one had done in business.

¹⁶Dia tonga ny voalohany ka nanao hoe: Tompoko, ny farantsanao iray efa nahazoana tombony farantsa folo.

¹⁶`And the first came near, saying, Sir, thy pound did gain ten pounds;

¹⁷Ary hoy izy taminy: Tsara izany, ry mpanompo tsara; satria nahatoky tamin'ny kely indrindra ianao, dia manapaha tanàna folo.

¹⁷and he said to him, Well done, good servant, because in a very little thou didst become faithful, be having authority over ten cities.

¹⁸Dia tonga ny anankiray koa ka nanao hoe: Tompoko, ny farantsanao iray efa tonga farantsa dimy.

¹⁸`And the second came, saying, Sir, thy pound made five pounds;

¹⁹Ary hoy koa izy tamin'io: Manapaha tanàna dimy koa ianao.

¹⁹and he said also to this one, And thou, become thou over five cities.

²⁰Fa tonga kosa ny anankiray ka nanao hoe: Tompoko, indry ny farantsanao, izay notehiriziko voafono amin'ny mosara.

²⁰`And another came, saying, Sir, lo, thy pound, that I had lying away in a napkin;

²¹Fa natahotra anao aho, satria olona mila voatsiary ianao ka maka izay tsy napetrakao, ary mijinja izay tsy nafafinao.

²¹for I was afraid of thee, because thou art an austere man; thou takest up what thou didst not lay down, and reapest what thou didst not sow.

²²Ary hoy ny tompony taminy: Ny vavanao no hitsarako anao, ry mpanompo ratsy fanahy: fantatrao fa izaho dia olona mila voatsiary ka maka izay tsy napetrako, ary mijinja izay tsy nafafiko;

²²`And he saith to him, Out of thy mouth I will judge thee, evil servant: thou knewest that I am an austere man, taking up what I did not lay down, and reaping what I did not sow!

²³koa nahoana no tsy napetrakao tamin'ny mpanana vola ny volako, ka rehefa tonga aho, dia ho nandray ny ahy mban-janany?

²³and wherefore didst thou not give my money to the bank, and I, having come, with interest might have received it?

²⁴Ary hoy izy tamin'izay nitsangana teo anilany: Alao ny farantsa eny aminy, ka omeo ilay manana farantsa folo

²⁴`And to those standing by he said, Take from him the pound, and give to him having the ten pounds —

²⁵(Fa hoy ireo taminy: Tompoko, efa manana farantsa folo izy.)

²⁵(and they said to him, Sir, he hath ten pounds) —

²⁶Lazaiko aminareo: Izay rehetra manana dia homena; fa ny amin'izay tsy manana, na dia izay ananany aza dia halaina aminy.

²⁶for I say to you, that to every one having shall be given, and from him not having, also what he hath shall be taken from him,

²⁷Fa ireo fahavaloko tsy nanaiky hanjakako ireo, dia ento atỳ , ka vonoy eto anatrehako.

²⁷but those my enemies, who did not wish me to reign over them, bring hither and slay before me.`

²⁸Ary rehefa niteny izany Izy, dia nandeha nialoha hiakatra ho any Jerosalema.

²⁸And having said these things, he went on before, going up to Jerusalem.

²⁹Ary raha nanakaiky an'i Betifaga sy Betania teo an-tendrombohitra atao hoe Oliva Izy, dia naniraka roa lahy tamin'ny mpianatra

²⁹And it came to pass, as he came nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, unto the mount called of the Olives, he sent two of his disciples,

³⁰ka nanao hoe: Mankanesa amin'iroa vohitra tandrifinareo iroa; ary raha vao miditra ao ianareo, dia hisy zana-boriky mifatotra ho hitanareo, izay tsy mbola nitaingenan'olona; vahao izy, ka ento erỳ .

³⁰having said, Go away to the village over-against, in which, entering into, ye shall find a colt bound, on which no one of men did ever sit, having loosed it, bring [it];

³¹Ary raha misy manontany anareo hoe: Nahoana no vahanareo io? dia izao no holazainareo: Misy raharaha analan'ny Tompo azy.

³¹and if any one doth question you, Wherefore do ye loose [it]? thus ye shall say to him — The Lord hath need of it.`

³²Ary nony nandeha ireo nirahina, dia nahita araka izay nolazainy taminy.

³²And those sent, having gone away, found according as he said to them,

³³Ary raha namaha ny zana-boriky izy, dia hoy ny tompony taminy: Nahoana no vahanareo ny zana-boriky?

³³and while they are loosing the colt, its owners said unto them, `Why loose ye the colt?`

³⁴Ary hoy izy: Misy raharaha analan'ny Tompo azy.

³⁴and they said, `The Lord hath need of it;`

³⁵Dia nitondra azy ho any amin'i Jesosy izy ary nametraka ny lambany teo ambonin'ny zana-boriky, ka nampitaingeniny azy Jesosy.

³⁵and they brought it unto Jesus, and having cast their garments upon the colt, they did set Jesus upon it.

³⁶Ary raha nandeha Jesosy, dia namelatra ny lambany teny an-dalana izy lreo.

³⁶And as he is going, they were spreading their garments in the way,

³⁷Ary rehefa nanakaiky Izy ka tonga teo am-pidinana amin'ny tendrombohitra Oliva, dia nifaly avokoa ny mpianatra maro be ka nidera an'Andriamanitra tamin'ny feo mahery noho ny asa lehibe rehetra izay efa hitany

³⁷and as he is coming nigh now, at the descent of the mount of the Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began rejoicing to praise God with a great voice for all the mighty works they had seen,

³⁸ka nanao hoe: Isaorana anie ny Mpanjaka, Izay avy amin'ny anaran'i Jehovah. Fiadanana any an-danitra, ary voninahitra any amin'ny avo indrindra.

³⁸saying, `blessed [is] he who is coming, a king in the name of the Lord; peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.`

³⁹Fa ny Fariseo sasany, izay teo amin'ny vahoaka, nanao taminy hoe: Mpampianatra ô, rarao ny mpianatrao.

³⁹And certain of the Pharisees from the multitude said unto him, `Teacher, rebuke thy disciples;`

⁴⁰Fa Izy namaly ka nanao hoe: Lazaiko aminareo fa raha mangina ireo, dia ny vato no hiantsoantso.

⁴⁰and he answering said to them, `I say to you, that, if these shall be silent, the stones will cry out!`

⁴¹Ary raha nanakaiky Izy ka nahita ny tanàna, dia nitomany azy

⁴¹And when he came nigh, having seen the city, he wept over it,

⁴²ka nanao hoe: Raha mba nahafantatra mantsy ianao na dia amin'ity andro ity aza izay momba ny fiadanana! - fa ankehitriny miafina amin'ny masonao izany.

⁴²saying — `If thou didst know, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things for thy peace; but now they were hid from thine eyes.

⁴³Fa ho avy aminao ny andro izay hananganan'ny fahavalonao tovon-tany manodidina anao, dia hanemitra anao izy ka hanidy anao manodidina

⁴³`Because days shall come upon thee, and thine enemies shall cast around thee a rampart, and compass thee round, and press thee on every side,

⁴⁴ary hamongotra anao hatramin'ny tany mbamin'ny zanakao ao anatinao, ka tsy havelany hisy vato mifanongoa eo aminao, ho valin'ny tsy nahafantaranao ny andro namangiana anao.

⁴⁴and lay thee low, and thy children within thee, and they shall not leave in thee a stone upon a stone, because thou didst not know the time of thy inspection.`

⁴⁵Ary niditra teo an-kianjan'ny tempoly Jesosy, dia nandroaka izay nivarotra

⁴⁵And having entered into the temple, he began to cast forth those selling in it, and those buying,

⁴⁶ka nanao taminy hoe: Efa voasoratra hoe: Ny tranoko dia trano fivavahana (Isa. 56. 7); fa ianareo kosa nanao azy ho zohy fieren'ny jiolahy (Jery. 7. 11).

⁴⁶saying to them, `It hath been written, My house is a house of prayer — but ye made it a den of robbers.`

⁴⁷Ary nampianatra isan'andro teo an-kianjan'ny tempoly Izy. Fa ny lohan'ny mpisorona sy ny mpanora-dalàna ary ny loholona nitady hahafaty Azy;nefa tsy hitany izay hataony, satria ny vahoaka rehetra nazoto dia nazoto hihaino Azy.

⁴⁷And he was teaching daily in the temple, but the chief priests and the scribes were seeking to destroy him — also the chiefs of the people —

⁴⁸nefa tsy hitany izay hataony, satria ny vahoaka rehetra nazoto dia nazoto hihaino Azy.

⁴⁸and they were not finding what they shall do, for all the people were hanging on him, hearing him.
