¹Ary tamin'ny Sabata anankiray dia nandeha namaky ny tanimbary Jesosy, ary ny mpianany nanoty ny salohim-bary, ka rehefa nokosokosohiny tamin'ny tànany, dia nohaniny.[ Na: faharoa manaraka ny voalohany].

¹And it came to pass, on the second-first sabbath, as he is going through the corn fields, that his disciples were plucking the ears, and were eating, rubbing with the hands,

²Fa ny Fariseo sasany nanao hoe: Nahoana ianareo no manao izay tsy mety hatao amin'ny Sabata?

²and certain of the Pharisees said to them, `Why do ye that which is not lawful to do on the sabbaths?`

³Ary Jesosy namaly azy ka nanao hoe: Tsy mbola novakinareo va ny teny milaza ilay nataon'i Davida, raha noana izy mbamin'izay nanaraka azy,

³And Jesus answering said unto them, `Did ye not read even this that David did, when he hungered, himself and those who are with him,

⁴fa niditra tao an-tranon'Andriamanitra izy ka nandray ny mofo aseho ary nihinana sady nanome he an'izay nanaraka azy koa, nefa mahadiso raha misy homana izany, afa-tsy ny mpisorona ihany?

⁴how he went into the house of God, and the loaves of the presentation did take, and did eat, and gave also to those with him, which it is not lawful to eat, except only to the priests?`

⁵Ary hoy Izy taminy: Tompon'ny Sabata ny Zanak'olona.

⁵and he said to them, — `The Son of Man is lord also of the sabbath.`

⁶Ary nony tamin'ny Sabata hafa koa niditra tao amin'ny synagoga Jesosy ka nampianatra; ary nisy lehilahy anankiray maty tanana tao.[Gr. efa maina, na malazo]

⁶And it came to pass also, on another sabbath, that he goeth into the synagogue, and teacheth, and there was there a man, and his right hand was withered,

⁷Ary ny mpanora-dalàna sy ny Fariseo nizaha taratra Azy, na hahasitrana amin'ny Sabata Izy, na tsia, mba hahitany izay hiampangana Azy.

⁷and the scribes and the Pharisees were watching him, if on the sabbath he will heal, that they might find an accusation against him.

⁸Fa Jesosy nahalala ny hevitr'ireo, ka dia niteny tamin-dralehilahy maty tanana hoe: Mitsangàna, ka mijoroa etsy afovoany. Dia nitsangana izy ka nijoro.

⁸And he himself had known their reasonings, and said to the man having the withered hand, `Rise, and stand in the midst;` and he having risen, stood.

⁹Ary hoy Jesosy tamin'ireo: Manontany anareo Aho: Moa ny manao soa va no mety hatao amin'ny Sabata, sa ny manao ratsy? ny mamonjy aina va, sa ny mahavery aina?

⁹Then said Jesus unto them, `I will question you something: Is it lawful on the sabbaths to do good, or to do evil? life to save or to kill?`

¹⁰Ary nijery azy rehetra manodidina Izy, dia nanao tamin-dralehilahy hoe: Ahinjiro ny tananao. Dia nataony izany, ka sitrana ny tànany.

¹⁰And having looked round on them all, he said to the man, `Stretch forth thy hand;` and he did so, and his hand was restored whole as the other;

¹¹Dia safotry ny hatezerana izy ireo ka nioko ny amin'izay hanaovany an'i Jesosy.

¹¹and they were filled with madness, and were speaking with one another what they might do to Jesus.

¹²Ary tamin'izany andro izany dia lasa nankany an-tendrombohitra Jesosy mba hivavaka; ary naharitra nivavaka tamin'Andriamanitra nandritra ny alina Izy.

¹²And it came to pass in those days, he went forth to the mountain to pray, and was passing the night in the prayer of God,

¹³Ary nony maraina ny andro,dia nantsoiny hanatona Azy ny mpianany, ka nifidianany roa ambin'ny folo lahy, izay nataony hoe Apostoly,

¹³and when it became day, he called near his disciples, and having chosen from them twelve, whom also he named apostles,

¹⁴dia Simona, izay nataony hoe koa Petera, sy Andrea rahalahiny, sy Jakoba sy Jaona sy Filipo sy Bartelemeo

¹⁴(Simon, whom also he named Peter, and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,

¹⁵sy Matio sy Tomasy sy Jakoba, zanak'i Alfeo, sy Simona, izay atao hoe Zelota,

¹⁵Matthew and Thomas, James of Alphaeus, and Simon called Zelotes,

¹⁶sy Jodasy, zanak'i Jakoba, ary Jodasy Iskariota, izay tonga namadika. [ Na: rahalahin'i]

¹⁶Judas of James, and Judas Iscariot, who also became betrayer;)

¹⁷Ary Jesosy niara-nidina tamin'ireo, dia nijanona teo an-kamarenana Izy sy ny mpianany maro mbamin'ny vahoaka betsaka avy tany Jodia rehetra sy Jerosalema, ary avy tany amoron-dranomasina any Tyro sy Sidona, izay tonga mba hihaino Azy sy hositranina amin'ny aretiny;

¹⁷and having come down with them, he stood upon a level spot, and a crowd of his disciples, and a great multitude of the people from all Judea, and Jerusalem, and the maritime Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him, and to be healed of their sicknesses,

¹⁸ary izay nampahorin'ny fanahy maloto dia nositranina.

¹⁸and those harassed by unclean spirits, and they were healed,

¹⁹Ary ny vahoaka rehetra nitady hanendry Azy, satria nisy hery niala taminy ka nahasitrana azy rehetra.

¹⁹and all the multitude were seeking to touch him, because power from him was going forth, and he was healing all.

²⁰Ary Jesosy dia nanopy ny masony tamin'ny mpianany ka nanao hoe: Sambatra ianareo malahelo, fa anareo ny fanjakan'Andriamanitra.

²⁰And he, having lifted up his eyes to his disciples, said: `Happy the poor — because yours is the reign of God.

²¹Sambatra ianareo noana ankehitriny, fa hovokisana ianareo. Sambatra ianareo mitomany ankehitriny, fa hihomehy ianareo.

²¹`Happy those hungering now — because ye shall be filled. `Happy those weeping now — because ye shall laugh.

²²Sambatra ianareo, raha halan'ny olona ka ariany sy haratsiny, ary laviny toy ny zava-dratsy ny anaranareo, noho ny amin'ny Zanak'olona.

²²`Happy are ye when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you, and shall reproach, and shall cast forth your name as evil, for the Son of Man`s sake —

²³Mifalia ianareo amin'izany andro izany, ka mibitaha; fa, indro, lehibe ny valim-pitianareo any an-danitra; fa izany no nataon'ny razany tamin'ny mpaminany.[Na: miantsambora]

²³rejoice in that day, and leap, for lo, your reward [is] great in the heaven, for according to these things were their fathers doing to the prophets.

²⁴Fa lozanareo izay manan-karena kosa! fa efa azonareo izay mahafa-po anareo.

²⁴`But wo to you — the rich, because ye have got your comfort.

²⁵Lozanareo izay voky ankehitriny! fa mbola ho noana ianareo. Lozanareo izay mihomehy ankehitriny fa mbola be ory sy hitomany ianareo.

²⁵`Wo to you who have been filled — because ye shall hunger. `Wo to you who are laughing now — because ye shall mourn and weep.

²⁶Lozanareo, raha milaza soa anareo ny olona rehetra! fa izany no nataon'ny razany tamin'ny mpaminany sandoka.

²⁶`Wo to you when all men shall speak well of you — for according to these things were their fathers doing to false prophets.

²⁷Kanefa hoy Izaho aminareo izay mihaino: Tiava ny fahavalonareo; manaova soa amin'izay mankahala anareo;

²⁷`But I say to you who are hearing, Love your enemies, do good to those hating you,

²⁸misaora izay manozona anareo, ary mivavaha ho an'izay manisy ratsy anareo.

²⁸bless those cursing you, and pray for those accusing you falsely;

²⁹Raha misy mamely ny takolakao anankiray, dia atolory azy koa ny anankiray; ary raha misy maka ny lambanao, aza lavinao na dia ny akanjonao aza.

²⁹and to him smiting thee upon the cheek, give also the other, and from him taking away from thee the mantle, also the coat thou mayest not keep back.

³⁰Omeo izay rehetra mangataka aminao; ary raha misy maka ny anananao, dia aza manaraka izany aminy.

³⁰`And to every one who is asking of thee, be giving; and from him who is taking away thy goods, be not asking again;

³¹Ary araka izay tianareo hataon'ny olona aminareo, dia mba ataovy aminy kosa.

³¹and as ye wish that men may do to you, do ye also to them in like manner;

³²Fa raha izay tia anareo ihany no tianareo, inona moa no soa tokony ho azonareo? fa na dia ny mpanota koa aza mba tia izay tia azy.

³²and — if ye love those loving you, what grace have ye? for also the sinful love those loving them;

³³Ary raha izay manisy soa anareo ihany no asianareo soa, inona moa no soa tokony ho azonareo? fa na dia ny mpanota aza mba manao izany ihany.

³³and if ye do good to those doing good to you, what grace have ye? for also the sinful do the same;

³⁴Ary raha mampisambotra izay antenainareo fa mbola hanonitra ianareo, inona moa no soa tokony ho azonareo? fa na dia ny mpanota aza mba mampisambotra ny mpanota, handraisany toraka izany indray.

³⁴and if ye lend [to those] of whom ye hope to receive back, what grace have ye? for also the sinful lend to sinners — that they may receive again as much.

³⁵Fa tiava ny fahavalonareo, ary manaova soa, dia mampisambora, fa aza kivy na amin'inona na amin'inona, dia ho lehibe ny valim-pitianareo, ary ho zanaky ny Avo Indrindra ianareo; fa Izy mora fanahy amin'izay tsy misaotra sy ny ratsy fanahy.[Na: aza manantena valiny]

³⁵`But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again, and your reward will be great, and ye shall be sons of the Highest, because He is kind unto the ungracious and evil;

³⁶Aoka ho mpamindra fo ianareo mba ho tahaka ny Rainareo, Mpamindra fo.

³⁶be ye therefore merciful, as also your Father is merciful.

³⁷Ary aza mitsara, dia tsy hotsaraina ianareo; aza manameloka, dia tsy hohelohina ianareo; mamelà, dia mba havela ianareo;

³⁷`And judge not, and ye may not be judged; condemn not, and ye may not be condemned; release, and ye shall be released.

³⁸omeo, dia mba homena ianareo; fatra tsara sady ahintsana no afatratra ka mihoatra no homeny ho ao am-pofoanareo. Fa izay fatra ataonareo no hamarana ho anareo kosa.

³⁸`Give, and it shall be given to you; good measure, pressed, and shaken, and running over, they shall give into your bosom; for with that measure with which ye measure, it shall be measured to you again.`

³⁹Ary Jesosy nanao fanoharana taminy koa hoe: Ny jamba va mahatari-dalana ny jamba? Tsy hianjera any an-kady va izy roa?

³⁹And he spake a simile to them, `Is blind able to lead blind? shall they not both fall into a pit?

⁴⁰Ny mpianatra tsy mihoatra noho ny mpampianatra; fa izay rehetra tanteraka dia ho tahaka ny mpampianatra azy ihany.

⁴⁰A disciple is not above his teacher, but every one perfected shall be as his teacher.

⁴¹Ary nahoana ianao no mijery ny sombin-kazo izay eo amin'ny mason'ny rahalahinao, nefa ny andry izay eo amin'ny masonao dia tsy mba tsaroanao akory?

⁴¹`And why dost thou behold the mote that is in thy brother`s eye, and the beam that [is] in thine own eye dost not consider?

⁴²Ary ahoana no ilazanao amin'ny rahalahinao hoe: Ry rahalahy, aoka hesoriko ny sombin-kazo eo amin'ny masonao, nefa tsy mba hitanao ny andry eo amin'ny masonao? Ry mpihatsaravelatsihy, esory aloha ny andry eo amin'ny masonao, ary amin'izany dia ho hitanao tsara ny hanesoranao ny sombin-kazo eo amin'ny maso'ny rahalahinao.

⁴²or how art thou able to say to thy brother, Brother, suffer, I may take out the mote that [is] in thine eye — thyself the beam in thine own eye not beholding? Hypocrite, take first the beam out of thine own eye, and then thou shalt see clearly to take out the mote that [is] in thy brother`s eye.

⁴³Fa tsy misy hazo tsara mamoa voa ratsy na hazo ratsy mamoa voa tsara.

⁴³`For there is not a good tree making bad fruit, nor a bad tree making good fruit;

⁴⁴Fa samy fantatra amin'ny voany avy ny hazo rehetra; fa tsy misy manoty aviavy amin'ny tsilo, na voaloboka amin'ny voaroy.[aviavimbazaha]

⁴⁴for each tree from its own fruit is known, for not from thorns do they gather figs, nor from a bramble do they crop a grape.

⁴⁵Ny olona tsara fanahy dia mamoaka ny tsara avy amin'ny rakitra tsaran'ny fony; ary ny ratsy fanahy kosa dia mamoaka ny ratsy; fa amin'ny haben'ny ao am-pony no itenenan'ny vavany.

⁴⁵`The good man out of the good treasure of his heart doth bring forth that which [is] good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart doth bring forth that which [is] evil; for out of the abounding of the heart doth his mouth speak.

⁴⁶Ary nahoana ianareo no miantso Ahy hoe: Tompoko, Tompoko, nefa tsy manao izay lazaiko?

⁴⁶`And why do ye call me, Lord, Lord, and do not what I say?

⁴⁷Izay rehetra manatona Ahy sy mandre ny teniko ka mankatò azy, dia hasehoko aminareo izay tahaka azy:

⁴⁷Every one who is coming unto me, and is hearing my words, and is doing them, I will shew you to whom he is like;

⁴⁸Tahaka ny olona nanao trano izy, izay nihady lalina ary nanisy fanorenana teo ambonin'ny vatolampy; ary nony tondraka ny rano, dia namely mafy izany trano izany ny riaka, nefa tsy nahahozongozona azy, satria tsara fanorenana izy.[Na: naorina teo ambonin'ny vatolampy izy]Fa izay mandre, fa tsy mankatò, dia tahaka ny olona izay nanao trano teo ambonin'ny tany, fa tsy nanisy fanorenana; dia namely azy mafy ny riaka, ka dia nirodana niaraka tamin'izay izy; ary loza ny naharavan'izany trano izany.

⁴⁸he is like to a man building a house, who did dig, and deepen, and laid a foundation upon the rock, and a flood having come, the stream broke forth on that house, and was not able to shake it, for it had been founded upon the rock.

⁴⁹Fa izay mandre, fa tsy mankatò, dia tahaka ny olona izay nanao trano teo ambonin'ny tany, fa tsy nanisy fanorenana; dia namely azy mafy ny riaka, ka dia nirodana niaraka tamin'izay izy; ary loza ny naharavan'izany trano izany.

⁴⁹`And he who heard and did not, is like to a man having builded a house upon the earth, without a foundation, against which the stream brake forth, and immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house became great.`
