¹Ary efa mby akaiky ny andro firavoravoana fihinanana ny mofo tsy misy masirasira, dia ilay andro atao hoe Paska.

¹And the feast of the unleavened food was coming nigh, that is called Passover,

²Ary ny lohan'ny mpisorona sy ny mpanora-dalàna nitady izay hamonoany an'i Jesosy; nefa natahotra ny olona izy.

²and the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how they may take him up, for they were afraid of the people.

³Fa Satana niditra tao anatin'i Jodasy, ilay atao hoe Iskariota, anankiray tamin'ny roa ambin'ny folo lahy;

³And the Adversary entered into Judas, who is surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve,

⁴dia nankao amin'ny lohan'ny mpisorona sy ny lehiben'ny mpiambina izy ka niresaka taminy ny amin'izay hamadihany an'i Jesosy amin'ireo.

⁴and he, having gone away, spake with the chief priests and the magistrates, how he might deliver him up to them,

⁵Dia faly ireo ka nanaiky hanome vola azy.

⁵and they rejoiced, and covenanted to give him money,

⁶Ary nanaiky izy ka nitady izay andro hahazoany hamadika Azy amin'ireo amin'ny tsy misy olona.

⁶and he agreed, and was seeking a favourable season to deliver him up to them without tumult.

⁷Ary tonga ny andro fihinanana ny mofo tsy misy masirasira, dia ilay tsy maintsy hamonoana ny Paska.

⁷And the day of the unleavened food came, in which it was behoving the passover to be sacrificed,

⁸Ary Jesosy naniraka an'i Petera sy Jaona ka nanao hoe: Mandehana, ka amboary ny Paska hohanintsika.

⁸and he sent Peter and John, saying, `Having gone on, prepare to us the passover, that we may eat;`

⁹Ary hoy ireo taminy: Aiza no tianao hanamboaranay azy?

⁹and they said to him, `Where wilt thou that we might prepare?`

¹⁰Dia hoy Izy taminy: Indro, raha miditra ao an-tanàna ianareo, dia hisy lehilahy mitondra siny feno rano hifanena aminareo; manaraha azy ao amin'ny trano izay hidirany.

¹⁰And he said to them, `Lo, in your entering into the city, there shall meet you a man, bearing a pitcher of water, follow him to the house where he doth go in,

¹¹Dia lazao amin'ny tompon-trano hoe: Izao no lazain'ny Mpampianatra aminao: Aiza ny efi-trano hiarahako mihinana ny Paska amin'ny mpianatro?

¹¹and ye shall say to the master of the house, The Teacher saith to thee, Where is the guest-chamber where the passover with my disciples I may eat?

¹²Ary izy hanoro anareo efi-trano malalaka ambony rihana, izay efa nasiana fipetrahana; any no amboary.

¹²and he shall show you a large upper room furnished, there make ready;`

¹³Dia nandeha izy ka nahita araka izay efa nolazainy taminy; dia namboatra ny Paska izy.

¹³and they, having gone away, found as he hath said to them, and they made ready the passover.

¹⁴Ary nony tonga ny fotoana, dia nipetraka hihinana Izy mbamin'ny Apostoly.

¹⁴And when the hour come, he reclined (at meat), and the twelve apostles with him,

¹⁵Ary hoy Izy taminy: Naniry koa raha naniry Aho hiara-mihinana ity Paska ity aminareo, dieny mbola tsy mijaly Aho.

¹⁵and he said unto them, `With desire I did desire to eat this passover with you before my suffering,

¹⁶Fa lazaiko aminareo fa tsy mba hihinana izany intsony Aho ambara-pahatanterak'izany ao amin'ny fanjakan'Andriamanitra.

¹⁶for I say to you, that no more may I eat of it till it may be fulfilled in the reign of God.`

¹⁷Ary nandray kapoaka Izy, dia nisaotra ka nanao hoe: Raiso ity, ka zarao aminareo;

¹⁷And having taken a cup, having given thanks, he said, `Take this and divide to yourselves,

¹⁸fa lazaiko aminareo fa hatramin'izao dia tsy hisotro ny vokatry ny voaloboka intsony Aho mandra-pahatongan'ny fanjakan'Andriamanitra.

¹⁸for I say to you that I may not drink of the produce of the vine till the reign of God may come.`

¹⁹Ary nandray mofo Izy, ary rehefa nisaotra, dia novakiny ka natolony azy sady nataony hoe : Ity no tenako izay omena ho anareo; izao no ataovinareo ho fahatsiarovana Ahy.

¹⁹And having taken bread, having given thanks, he brake and gave to them, saying, `This is my body, that for you is being given, this do ye — to remembrance of me.`

²⁰Ary araka izany koa ny kapoaka, rehefa vita ny sakafo, dia hoy Izy: Ity kapoaka ity no fanekena vaovao amin'ny rako, izay aidina ho anareo.

²⁰In like manner, also, the cup after the supping, saying, `This cup [is] the new covenant in my blood, that for you is being poured forth.

²¹Fa, indro, ny tànan'izay mamadika Ahy dia eto amiko eto ambonin'ny latabatra.

²¹`But, lo, the hand of him delivering me up [is] with me on the table,

²²Fa ny Zanak'olona mandeha tokoa, araka izay nanendrena; nefa lozan'izay lehilahy hahazoana manolotra Azy!

²²and indeed the Son of Man doth go according to what hath been determined; but wo to that man through whom he is being delivered up.`

²³Ary ireo nifanontany izay anankiray eo aminy hahefa izany.

²³And they began to reason among themselves, who then of them it may be, who is about to do this thing.

²⁴Ary nisy koa fifandirana tao aminy ny amin'izay anankiray aminy hatao lehibe.

²⁴And there happened also a strife among them — who of them is accounted to be greater.

²⁵Ary hoy Jesosy taminy: Ny mpanjakan'ny jentilisa mampanompo azy ary izay manapaka azy no atao hoe mpanao soa.

²⁵And he said to them, `The kings of the nations do exercise lordship over them, and those exercising authority upon them are called benefactors;

²⁶Fa tsy mba toy izany ianareo; fa izay lehibe aminareo dia aoka ho toy ny zandry; ary izay manapaka dia aoka ho toy ny mpanompo.

²⁶but ye [are] not so, but he who is greater among you — let him be as the younger; and he who is leading, as he who is ministering;

²⁷Fa iza moa no lehibe, izay mipetraka mihinana va, sa izay manompo? Tsy izay mipetraka mihinana va? Fa Izaho dia eo aminareo toy izay manompo.

²⁷for who is greater? he who is reclining (at meat), or he who is ministering? is it not he who is reclining (at meat)? and I — I am in your midst as he who is ministering.

²⁸Ary ianareo no naharitra nanaraka Ahy tamin'ny fakam-panahy nihatra tamiko;

²⁸`And ye — ye are those who have remained with me in my temptations,

²⁹koa Izaho dia manendry fanjakana ho anareo tahaka ny nanendren'ny Raiko ho Ahy,

²⁹and I appoint to you, as my Father did appoint to me, a kingdom,

³⁰mba hihinana sy hisotro eo amin'ny latabatro amin'ny fanjakako ianareo sady hipetraka ambony seza fiandrianana hitsara ny firenen'isiraely roa ambin'ny folo,

³⁰that ye may eat and may drink at my table, in my kingdom, and may sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.`

³¹Ary hoy ny Tompo: Ry Simona, ry Simona, indro, Satana efa nilofo nitady anareo hokororohiny toy ny vary.

³¹And the Lord said, `Simon, Simon, lo, the Adversary did ask you for himself to sift as the wheat,

³²Nefa Izaho nangataka ho anao, mba tsy ho levona ny finoanao; ary rehefa mibebaka ianao, dia ampaherezo ireo rahalahinao.

³²and I besought for thee, that thy faith may not fail; and thou, when thou didst turn, strengthen thy brethren.`

³³Ary hoy izy taminy: Tompoko, vonona hanaraka Anao aho, na ho ao an-tranomaizina, na dia ho amin'ny fahafatesana aza.

³³And he said to him, `Sir, with thee I am ready both to prison and to death to go;`

³⁴Fa hoy Jesosy: Lazaiko aminao, ry Petera: Raha tsy mbola misy akoho maneno anio, dia handà intelo ho tsy mahalala Ahy ianao.

³⁴and he said, `I say to thee, Peter, a cock shall not crow to-day, before thrice thou mayest disown knowing me.`

³⁵Ary hoy koa Izy taminy: Raha nirahiko tsy nitondra kitapom-bola na kitapom-batsy na kapa ianareo, moa nisy zavatra nahory anareo va? Dia hoy ireo: Tsy nisy.

³⁵And he said to them, `When I sent you without bag, and scrip, and sandals, did ye lack anything?` and they said, `Nothing.`

³⁶Fa hoy Izy taminy: Fa amin'izao kosa, izay manana kitapom-bola dia aoka hitondra azy; ary toy izany koa ny kitapom-batsy; ary izay tsy manan-tsabatra kosa, dia aoka hivarotra ny lambany izy ka hividy.

³⁶Then said he to them, `But, now, he who is having a bag, let him take [it] up, and in like manner also a scrip; and he who is not having, let him sell his garment, and buy a sword,

³⁷Fa lazaiko aminareo: Tsy maintsy ho tanteraka amiko izao voasoratra izao hoe: Ary Izy natao ho isan'ny mpanota (Isa. 53. 12); fa efa ho tanteraka ny amiko.

³⁷for I say to you, that yet this that hath been written it behoveth to be fulfilled in me: And with lawless ones he was reckoned, for also the things concerning me have an end.`

³⁸Ary hoy ireo: Tompoko, indreto sabatra roa. Dia hoy Jesosy taminy: Aoka izay.

³⁸And they said, `Sir, lo, here [are] two swords;` and he said to them, `It is sufficient.`

³⁹Ary nivoaka Jesosy, koa araka ny fanaony dia nankao an-tendrombohitra Oliva Izy, ary ny mpianatra koa nanaraka Azy.

³⁹And having gone forth, he went on, according to custom, to the mount of the Olives, and his disciples also followed him,

⁴⁰Ary raha vao tonga tao amin'izany tany izany, dia hoy Izy taminy: Mivavaha mba tsy hidiranareo amin'ny fakam-panahy.

⁴⁰and having come to the place, he said to them, `Pray ye not to enter into temptation.`

⁴¹Ary Izy nihataka taminy tokony ho indray mitora-bato, dia nandohalika ka nivavaka hoe:

⁴¹And he was withdrawn from them, as it were a stone`s cast, and having fallen on the knees he was praying,

⁴²Raiko ô, raha sitrakao, dia esory amiko ity kapoaka ity; nefa aoka tsy ny sitrapoko anie no hatao, fa ny Anao.

⁴²saying, `Father, if Thou be counselling to make this cup pass from me —; but, not my will, but Thine be done.` —

⁴³Ary nisy anjely avy tany an-danitra niseho teo aminy ka nampahery Azy.

⁴³And there appeared to him a messenger from heaven strengthening him;

⁴⁴Ary fadiranovana Izy, ka dia nivavaka mafimafy kokoa; ary ny dininy dia tahaka ny rà nipotrapotraka tamin'ny tany.

⁴⁴and having been in agony, he was more earnestly praying, and his sweat became, as it were, great drops of blood falling upon the ground.

⁴⁵Ary nony nitsangana avy nivavaka Izy, dia nankeo amin'ny mpianatra ka nahita azy matorin'alahelo.

⁴⁵And having risen up from the prayer, having come unto the disciples, he found them sleeping from the sorrow,

⁴⁶Dia hoy Izy taminy: Nahoana no dia matory ianareo? Mitsangàna, ka mivavaha, mba tsy hidiranareo amin'ny fakam-panahy.

⁴⁶and he said to them, `Why do ye sleep? having risen, pray that ye may not enter into temptation.`

⁴⁷Ary raha mbola niteny Jesosy, indreo, tamy ny vahoaka, ary ilay atao hoe Jodasy, isan'ny roa ambin'ny folo lahy, dia nandeha teo alohany ka nanatona an'i Jesosy hanoroka Azy.

⁴⁷And while he is speaking, lo, a multitude, and he who is called Judas, one of the twelve, was coming before them, and he came nigh to Jesus to kiss him,

⁴⁸Fa hoy Jesosy taminy: Ry Jodasy, fanorohana va no amadihanao ny Zanak'olona?

⁴⁸and Jesus said to him, `Judas, with a kiss the Son of Man dost thou deliver up?`

⁴⁹Ary izay teo aminy, raha nahita izay efa hanjo, dia nanao hoe: Tompoko, hamely amin'ny sabatra va izahay?

⁴⁹And those about him, having seen what was about to be, said to him, `Sir, shall we smite with a sword?`

⁵⁰Ary ny anankiray teo aminy dia nikapa ny mpanompon'ny mpisoronabe ka nahafaka ny sofiny ankavanana.

⁵⁰And a certain one of them smote the servant of the chief priest, and took off his right ear,

⁵¹Fa Jesosy namaly ka nanao hoe: Aoka ihany na dia izao aza. Dia nanendry ny sofiny Izy ka nahasitrana azy.

⁵¹and Jesus answering said, `Suffer ye thus far,` and having touched his ear, he healed him.

⁵²Ary hoy Jesosy tamin'ny lohan'ny mpisorona sy ny lehiben'ny mpiambina ny tempoly ary ny loholona izay tonga hisambotra Azy: Mivoaka mitondra sabatra sy langilangy toy ny hisambotra jiolahy va ianareo?

⁵²And Jesus said to those having come upon him — chief priests, and magistrates of the temple, and elders — `As upon a robber have ye come forth, with swords and sticks?

⁵³Raha teo aminareo isan'andro teo an-kianjan'ny tempoly Aho, dia tsy naninji-tanana tamiko ianareo; fa izao no fotoanareo sy herin'ny maizina.

⁵³while daily I was with you in the temple, ye did stretch forth no hands against me; but this is your hour and the power of the darkness.`

⁵⁴Ary izy ireo nisambotra an'i Jesosy, dia nitondra Azy ho ao an-tranon'ny mpisoronabe. Ary Petera nanaraka teny lavidavitra eny.

⁵⁴And having taken him, they led and brought him to the house of the chief priest. And Peter was following afar off,

⁵⁵Ary raha namelona afo teo an-kianja ireo ka nipetraka, dia mba nipetraka teo aminy koa Petera.

⁵⁵and they having kindled a fire in the midst of the court, and having sat down together, Peter was sitting in the midst of them,

⁵⁶Ary ny ankizivavy anankiray, nony nahita azy nipetraka teo anilan'ny afo, dia nandinika azy ka nanao hoe: Ity koa nomba Azy.

⁵⁶and a certain maid having seen him sitting at the light, and having earnestly looked at him, she said, `And this one was with him!`

⁵⁷Fa izy nandà ka nanao hoe: Ravehivavy, tsy fantatro Izy.

⁵⁷and he disowned him, saying, `Woman, I have not known him.`

⁵⁸Ary vetivety foana rehefa afaka izany, dia nisy olona hafa koa nahita azy ka nanao hoe: Hianao koa mba naman'ireny. Fa Petera nanao hoe: Ralehilahy, tsy mba namany aho.

⁵⁸And after a little, another having seen him, said, `And thou art of them!` and Peter said, `Man, I am not.`

⁵⁹Ary rehefa afaka tokony ho ora iray, dia nisy anankiray koa nitompo teny ka nanao hoe: Ilehio nomba Azy marina tokoa, fa Galiliana izy.

⁵⁹And one hour, as it were, having intervened, a certain other was confidently affirming, saying, `Of a truth this one also was with him, for he is also a Galilean;`

⁶⁰Fa hoy Petera: Ralehilahy, tsy fantatro izay lazainao. Ary niaraka tamin'izay, raha mbola niteny izy, dia nisy akoho naneno.

⁶⁰and Peter said, `Man, I have not known what thou sayest;` and presently, while he is speaking, a cock crew.

⁶¹Ary ny Tompo nitodika, dia nijery an'i Petera. Ary Petera nahatsiaro ilay tenin'ny Tompo nolazainy taminy hoe: Raha tsy mbola misy akoho maneno anio, dia handà Ahy intelo ianao.

⁶¹And the Lord having turned did look on Peter, and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he said to him — `Before a cock shall crow, thou mayest disown me thrice;`

⁶²Ary nivoaka Petera, dia nitomany mafy indrindra.

⁶²and Peter having gone without, wept bitterly.

⁶³Ary ny lehilahy izay nitana an'i Jesosy dia nanao Azy ho fihomehezana sady nikapoka Azy.

⁶³And the men who were holding Jesus were mocking him, beating [him];

⁶⁴Ary rehefa nanampi-maso Azy izy, dia nanontany Azy hoe: Maminania; iza moa no namely Anao?

⁶⁴and having blindfolded him, they were striking him on the face, and were questioning him, saying, `Prophesy who he is who smote thee?`

⁶⁵Ary niteny ratsy izy nilaza zavatra maro hafa koa nanaratsiany Azy.

⁶⁵and many other things, speaking evilly, they spake in regard to him.

⁶⁶Ary raha vao nazava ny andro, niangona ny loholona, dia ny lohan'ny mpisorona sy ny mpanora-dalàna, ka nitondra an'i Jesosy ho eo amin'ny Synedriona, dia nanao hoe:

⁶⁶And when it became day there was gathered together the eldership of the people, chief priests also, and scribes, and they led him up to their own sanhedrim,

⁶⁷Raha Hianao no Kristy, dia lazao aminay. Fa hoy Izy taminy: Na dia hilaza aminareo aza Aho, dia tsy hino ianareo.

⁶⁷saying, `If thou be the Christ, tell us.` And he said to them, `If I may tell you, ye will not believe;

⁶⁸Ary na dia hanontany aza Aho, dia tsy hamaly akory ianareo.

⁶⁸and if I also question [you], ye will not answer me or send me away;

⁶⁹Fa hatramin'izao ny Zanak'olona dia hipetraka eo an-tanana ankavanan'ny herin'Andriamanitra.

⁶⁹henceforth, there shall be the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of the power of God.`

⁷⁰Dia hoy izy rehetra: Zanak'Andriamanitra va ary Hianao? Ary hoy Izy taminy: Voalazanareo fa Izaho no Izy.Ary hoy ireo: Ka inona indray no ilantsika vavolombelona? fa ny tenantsika no efa nandre tamin'ny vavany.

⁷⁰And they all said, `Thou, then, art the Son of God?` and he said unto them, `Ye say [it], because I am;`

⁷¹Ary hoy ireo: Ka inona indray no ilantsika vavolombelona? fa ny tenantsika no efa nandre tamin'ny vavany.

⁷¹and they said, `What need yet have we of testimony? for we ourselves did hear [it] from his mouth.`
