¹Ary rehefa vitan'i Jesosy teo anatrehan'ny olona izany toriteniny rehetra izany, dia nankany Kapernaomy Izy.

¹And when he completed all his sayings in the ears of the people, he went into Capernaum;

²Ary ny mpanompon'ny kapiteny anankiray, izay malalany, dia narary efa ho faty.

²and a certain centurion`s servant being ill, was about to die, who was much valued by him,

³Koa raha nahare ny amin'i Jesosy ilay kapiteny, dia naniraka loholon'ny Jiosy hankeo aminy hangataka Azy mba ho avy ka hahasitrana ny mpanompony.

³and having heard about Jesus, he sent unto him elders of the Jews, beseeching him, that having come he might thoroughly save his servant.

⁴Ary rehefa tonga teo amin'i Jesosy ireo, dia nangataka mafy taminy ka nanao hoe: Miendrika ny hanaovanao izany izy,

⁴And they, having come near unto Jesus, were calling upon him earnestly, saying — `He is worthy to whom thou shalt do this,

⁵satria tia ny firenentsika izy, sady izy no efa nanao ny synagoga ho antsika.

⁵for he doth love our nation, and the synagogue he did build to us.`

⁶Ary Jesosy nandeha niaraka taminy. Ary rehefa efa mby teo akaikin'ny trano Izy, ilay kapiteny dia naniraka sakaiza hitsena Azy ka nanao taminy hoe: Tompoko, aza manahirana ny tenanao Hianao; fa tsy miendrika hidiranao ao ambanin'ny tafon-tranoko aho.

⁶And Jesus was going on with them, and now when he is not far distant from the house the centurion sent unto him friends, saying to him, `Sir, be not troubled, for I am not worthy that under my roof thou mayest enter;

⁷Koa na dia ny tenako aza dia nataoko fa tsy miendrika hankeo aminao; fa mitenena ihany, dia ho sitrana ny ankizilahiko.

⁷wherefore not even myself thought I worthy to come unto thee, but say in a word, and my lad shall be healed;

⁸Fa izaho koa mba lehilahy manan-dehibe ihany, ka manana miaramila izay feheziko; koa hoy izaho amin'ny anankiray: Mandehana, dia mandeha izy, ary amin'ny anankiray koa Avia, dia avy izy, ary amin'ny mpanompoko: Ataovy izao, dia manao izy.

⁸for I also am a man placed under authority, having under myself soldiers, and I say to this [one], Go, and he goeth; and to another, Be coming, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doth [it].`

⁹Ary nony nahare izany Jesosy, dia gaga taminy; ary dia nitodika Izy ka nanao tamin'ny vahoaka izay nanaraka Azy hoe: Lazaiko aminareo fa tsy mbola nahita finoana lehibe toy izany Aho, na dia tamin'ny Isiraely aza.

⁹And having heard these things Jesus wondered at him, and having turned to the multitude following him, he said, `I say to you, not even in Israel so much faith did I find;`

¹⁰Ary nony tafaverina tao an-trano ireo iraka ireo, dia hitany fa sitrana ilay mpanompo.

¹⁰and those sent, having turned back to the house, found the ailing servant in health.

¹¹Ary taoriana kelin'izany Jesosy dia nankany an-tanana atao hoe Naina; ary naniraka Azy ny mpianany sy ny vahoaka betsaka.[Na: (nony ampitson'iny)]

¹¹And it came to pass, on the morrow, he was going on to a city called Nain, and there were going with him many of his disciples, and a great multitude,

¹²Ary rehefa mby teo akaikin'ny vavahadin'ny tanàna Izy, dia, indro, nisy fatin'ny lehilahy anankiray nentina nivoaka, izay zanakalahy tokan'ny reniny, sady mpitondratena ravehivavy; ary nisy vahoaka betsaka avy tao an-tanàna nanaraka azy.

¹²and as he came nigh to the gate of the city, then, lo, one dead was being carried forth, an only son of his mother, and she a widow, and a great multitude of the city was with her.

¹³Ary nony nahita an-dravehivavy ny Tompo, dia onena azy ka nanao taminy hoe: Aza mitomany.

¹³And the Lord having seen her, was moved with compassion towards her, and said to her, `Be not weeping;`

¹⁴Ary nanatona Izy ka nanendry ny tranovorona, dia nijanona izay nilanja. Ary hoy Jesosy: zatovo, hoy Izaho aminao: Miarena.

¹⁴and having come near, he touched the bier, and those bearing [it] stood still, and he said, `Young man, to thee I say, Arise;`

¹⁵Dia niarina ny maty sady niteny, ary dia natolony tamin-dreniny.

¹⁵and the dead sat up, and began to speak, and he gave him to his mother;

¹⁶Ary raiki-tahotra ny olona rehetra ka nankalaza an'Andriamanitra hoe: Mpaminany lehibe no efa mitsangana eto amintsika; ary Andriamanitra efa nitsinjo ny olony.

¹⁶and fear took hold of all, and they were glorifying God, saying — `A great prophet hath risen among us,` and — `God did look upon His people.`

¹⁷Dia niely teny Jodia rehetra sy teny amin'ny tany manodidina rehetra ny lazan'i Jesosy ny amin'izany zavatra izany.

¹⁷And the account of this went forth in all Judea about him, and in all the region around.

¹⁸Ary ny mpianatr'i Jaona nanambara izany rehetra izany taminy.

¹⁸And the disciples of John told him about all these things,

¹⁹Ary Jaona niantso ny mpianany roa lahy hankao aminy, dia naniraka azy hankany amin'ny Tompo hanao hoe: Hianao va Ilay ho avy, sa mbola hafa no andrasantsika?

¹⁹and John having called near a certain two of his disciples, sent unto Jesus, saying, `Art thou he who is coming, or for another do we look?`

²⁰Ary nony tonga tany aminy ireo lehilahy ireo, dia nanao hoe: Jaona Mpanao-batisa naniraka anay hankatỳ aminao hanao hoe: Hianao va Ilay ho avy, sa mbola hafa no andrasantsika?

²⁰And having come near to him, the men said, `John the Baptist sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he who is coming, or for another do we look?`

²¹Ary tamin'izany ora izany Jesosy dia nahasitrana olona maro tamin'ny rofy sy ny aretina sy ny fanahy ratsy sady nampahiratra ny jamba maro.

²¹And in that hour he cured many from sicknesses, and plagues, and evil spirits, and to many blind he granted sight.

²²Dia namaly Izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Mandehana ianareo, ambarao amin'i Jaona izao hitanareo sy renareo izao; mahiratra ny jamba, afaka ny mandringa, diovina ny boka, malady ny marenina, atsangana ny maty, ary ny malahelo dia itoriana ny filazantsara.

²²And Jesus answering said to them, `Having gone on, report to John what ye saw and heard, that blind men do see again, lame do walk, lepers are cleansed, deaf do hear, dead are raised, poor have good news proclaimed;

²³Ary sambatra izay tsy ho tafintohina noho ny amiko.

²³and happy is he whoever may not be stumbled in me.`

²⁴Ary rehefa lasa ny irak'i Jaona, dia nilaza an'i Jaona tamin'ny vahoaka Jesosy ka nanao hoe: Hizaha inona no nalehanareo tany an-efitra? Volotara nohozongozonin'ny rivotra va?

²⁴And the messengers of John having gone away, he began to say unto the multitudes concerning John: `What have ye gone forth to the wilderness to look on? a reed by the wind shaken?

²⁵Sa hizaha inona no nalehanareo? Olona mitafy lamba soa va? Indro, ny mitafy lamba soa sy mihinana zava-py dia ao an-tranon'ny mpanjaka.[Gr. malemy]

²⁵but what have ye gone forth to see? a man in soft garments clothed? lo, they in splendid apparellings, and living in luxury, are in the houses of kings!

²⁶Sa hizaha inona no nalehanareo tany? Mpaminany va? Eny, hoy Izaho aminareo, sady mihoatra lavitra noho ny mpaminany izy.

²⁶`But what have ye gone forth to see? a prophet? Yes, I say to you, and much more than a prophet:

²⁷Fa izy ilay voasoratra hoe: Indro, Izaho maniraka ny irako hialoha Anao, Izay hamboatra ny lalanao eo alohanao (Mal. 3. 1).

²⁷this is he concerning whom it hath been written, Lo, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee;

²⁸Lazaiko aminareo: Amin'izay nateraky ny vehivavy tsy misy lehibe noho Jaona; nefa ny kely indrindra amin'ny fanjakan'Andriamanitra dia lehibe noho izy.

²⁸for I say to you, a greater prophet, among those born of women, than John the Baptist there is not; but the least in the reign of God is greater than he.`

²⁹Ary ny vahoaka rehetra sy ny mpamory hetra raha nandre, dia nanamarina an'Andriamanitra, satria natao batisa tamin'ny batisan'i Jaona izy.

²⁹And all the people having heard, and the tax-gatherers, declared God righteous, having been baptized with the baptism of John,

³⁰Fa ny Fariseo sy ny mpahay lalàna kosa nandà ny fikasan'Andriamanitra, satria tsy mba nanatona hataon'i Jaona batisa izy.

³⁰but the Pharisees, and the lawyers, the counsel of God did put away for themselves, not having been baptized by him.

³¹Tahaka ny inona ary no hanoharako ny olona amin'ity taranaka ity? tahaka ny inona moa izy?

³¹And the Lord said, `To what, then, shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like?

³²Tahaka ny ankizy madinika mipetraka eny an-tsena izy, izay mifampiantso hoe: Efa nitsoka sodina taminareo izahay, nefa tsy nandihy ianareo; efa nanao feo fisaonana izahay, nefa tsy nitomany ianareo.

³²they are like to children, to those sitting in a market-place, and calling one to another, and saying, We piped to you, and ye did not dance, we mourned to you, and ye did not weep!

³³Fa tonga Jaona Mpanao-batisa tsy nihinan-kanina na nisotro divay, ka hoy ianareo: Manana demonia izy.

³³`For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and ye say, He hath a demon;

³⁴Tonga ny Zanak'olona mihinana sy misotro kosa, ka hoy ianareo: Indro, olona fatra-pitia hanina sy mpisotro divay, sakaizan'ny mpamory hetra sy ny mpanota.

³⁴the Son of Man came eating and drinking, and ye say, Lo, a man, a glutton, and a wine drinker, a friend of tax-gatherers and sinners;

³⁵Fa ny fahendrena dia hamarinin'ny zanany rehetra.

³⁵and the wisdom was justified from all her children.`

³⁶Ary ny Fariseo anankiray nanasa an'i Jesosy hiara-mihinana aminy; ary dia niditra tao an-tranon'ilay Fariseo Izy ka nipetraka nihinana.

³⁶And a certain one of the Pharisees was asking him that he might eat with him, and having gone into the house of the Pharisee he reclined (at meat),

³⁷Ary, indro, nisy vehivavy mpanota tao an-tanàna, ka rehefa fantany fa Jesosy nipetraka nihinana tao an-tranon'ilay Fariseo, dia nitondra tavoara alabastara feno menaka manitra izy;

³⁷and lo, a woman in the city, who was a sinner, having known that he reclineth (at meat) in the house of the Pharisee, having provided an alabaster box of ointment,

³⁸ary nijanona teo ivohony tanilan'ny tongony izy ka nitomany, dia nahakotsa ny tongony tamin'ny ranomasony sy namaoka azy tamin'ny volon-dohany, dia nanoroka fatratra ny tongony ka nanosotra azy tamin'ny menaka manitra,

³⁸and having stood behind, beside his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with the tears, and with the hairs of her head she was wiping, and was kissing his feet, and was anointing with the ointment.

³⁹Ary nony nahita izany ilay Fariseo nanasa Azy, dia nanao anakampo hoe: Raha mpaminany Ity, dia ho nahalala io vehivavy manendry Azy io sy ny toeny; fa mpanota io.

³⁹And the Pharisee who did call him, having seen, spake within himself, saying, `This one, if he were a prophet, would have known who and of what kind [is] the woman who doth touch him, that she is a sinner.`

⁴⁰Ary Jesosy namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Ry Simona, manan-kolazaina aminao Aho. Dia hoy izy: Lazao ary, Mpampianatra ô.

⁴⁰And Jesus answering said unto him, `Simon, I have something to say to thee;` and he saith, `Teacher, say on.`

⁴¹Nisy roa lahy nananan'ny mpampanàna vola anankiray trosa: ny iray nananany denaria diman-jato, ary ny iray kosa dimam-polo.

⁴¹`Two debtors were to a certain creditor; the one was owing five hundred denaries, and the other fifty;

⁴²Ary raha tsy nanan-kaloa izy roa lahy, dia samy navelany. Koa iza moa amin'ireo no ho tia azy indrindra?

⁴²and they not having [wherewith] to give back, he forgave both; which then of them, say thou, will love him more?`

⁴³Simona namaly ka nanao hoe: Ataoko fa ilay namoizany be. Dia hoy Izy taminy: Marina ny hevitrao.

⁴³And Simon answering said, `I suppose that to whom he forgave the more;` and he said to him, `Rightly thou didst judge.`

⁴⁴Ary Jesosy nitodika nijery an-dravehivavy ka nanao tamin'i Simona hoe: Hitanao va io vehivavy io? Niditra teto an-tranonao Aho; nefa tsy mba nanome Ahy rano hanasana ny tongotro ianao; fa izy kosa nahakotsa ny tongotro tamin'ny ranomasony, dia namaoka azy tamin'ny volon-dohany.

⁴⁴And having turned unto the woman, he said to Simon, `Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house; water for my feet thou didst not give, but this woman with tears did wet my feet, and with the hairs of her head did wipe;

⁴⁵Tsy mba nanoroka Ahy akory ianao; fa izy, hatr'izay nidirako, dia tsy mbola nitsahatra nanoroka fatratra ny tongotro.

⁴⁵a kiss to me thou didst not give, but this woman, from what [time] I came in, did not cease kissing my feet;

⁴⁶Ny lohako tsy mba nohosoranao diloilo akory; fa izy kosa nanoso-menaka manitra ny tongotro.

⁴⁶with oil my head thou didst not anoint, but this woman with ointment did anoint my feet;

⁴⁷Ary amin'izany dia lazaiko aminao: Voavela ny helony be, fa be fitiavana izy; fa izay voavela tamin'ny kely dia kely fitiavana.

⁴⁷therefore I say to thee, her many sins have been forgiven, because she did love much; but to whom little is forgiven, little he doth love.`

⁴⁸Dia hoy Izy tamin-dravehivavy: Voavela ny helokao.

⁴⁸And he said to her, `Thy sins have been forgiven;`

⁴⁹Ary izay niara-nipetraka nihinana teo aminy dia niresaka hoe: Iza moa Ity no mba mamela heloka?Ary hoy Izy tamin-dravehivavy: Ny finoanao efa namonjy anao; mandehana soa aman-tsara.

⁴⁹and those reclining with him (at meat) began to say within themselves, `Who is this, who also doth forgive sins?`

⁵⁰Ary hoy Izy tamin-dravehivavy: Ny finoanao efa namonjy anao; mandehana soa aman-tsara.

⁵⁰and he said unto the woman, `Thy faith have saved thee, be going on to peace.`
