¹Ary Jesosy niantso ny roa ambin'ny folo lahy hankeo aminy ka nanome azy hery sy fahefana hamoaka ny demonia rehetra sy hahasitrana aretina.

¹And having called together his twelve disciples, he gave them power and authority over all the demons, and to cure sicknesses,

²Ary Izy naniraka ireo handeha hitory ny fanjakan'Andriamanitra sy hahasitrana ny marary.

²and he sent them to proclaim the reign of God, and to heal the ailing.

³Ary hoy izy taminy: Aza mitondra zavatra ho amin'ny alehanareo, na tehina, na kitapom-batsy, na mofo, na vola, ary aza misy mitondra akanjo roa.

³And he said unto them, `Take nothing for the way, neither staff, nor scrip, nor bread, nor money; neither have two coats each;

⁴Ary izay trano hidiranareo, dia ao no itoero, ary avy ao indray no ialao.

⁴and into whatever house ye may enter, there remain, and thence depart;

⁵Ary izay tsy mampandroso, anareo, raha miala amin'izany tanàna izany ianareo, dia ahintsano ny vovoka ho afaka amin'ny tongotrareo ho vavolombelona miampanga azy.

⁵and as many as may not receive you, going forth from that city, even the dust from your feet shake off, for a testimony against them.`

⁶Dia lasa nandeha izy ireo ka nitety vohitra nitory ny filazantsara sy nahasitrana teny tontolo eny.

⁶And going forth they were going through the several villages, proclaiming good news, and healing everywhere.

⁷Ary Heroda mpanapaka nandre izay rehetra natao; dia very hevitra izy noho ny filazan'ny olona; fa hoy ny sasany: Jaona no efa nitsangana tamin'ny maty;

⁷And Herod the tetrarch heard of all the things being done by him, and was perplexed, because it was said by certain, that John hath been raised out of the dead;

⁸ary hoy ny sasany: Elia no efa niseho; fa hoy kosa ny sasany: Ny anankiray amin'ny mpaminany fahiny no efa nitsangana.

⁸and by certain, that Elijah did appear, and by others, that a prophet, one of the ancients, was risen;

⁹Fa hoy Heroda: Raha Jaona, dia izaho no efa nanapaka ny lohany; fa iza indray moa Izao, izay reko fa manao izany zavatra izany? Ary izy nitady hahita Azy.

⁹and Herod said, `John I did behead, but who is this concerning whom I hear such things?` and he was seeking to see him.

¹⁰Ary rehefa niverina ny Apostoly, dia nanambara tamin'i Jesosy izay efa nataony. Ary Izy nitondra azy ka nandeha nitokana nankany amin'ny tanàna atao hoe Betsaida.

¹⁰And the apostles having turned back, declared to him how great things they did, and having taken them, he withdrew by himself to a desert place of a city called Bethsaida,

¹¹Ary ny vahoaka, nony nahalala, dia nanaraka Azy; ary Izy nandray azy tsara ka nilaza taminy ny amin'ny fanjakan'Andriamanitra; ary izay marary dia nositraniny.

¹¹and the multitudes having known did follow him, and having received them, he was speaking to them concerning the reign of God, and those having need of service he cured.

¹²Ary nony efa ho hariva ny andro, dia nanatona ny roa ambin'ny folo lahy ka nanao taminy hoe: Ravao ny vahoaka mba hankanesany eny amin'ny vohitra manodidina sy any an-tsaha handry sy hitady hanina; fa atỳ an-tany foana isika.

¹²And the day began to decline, and the twelve having come near, said to him, `Let away the multitude, that having gone to the villages and the fields round about, they may lodge and may find provision, because here we are in a desert place.`

¹³Fa hoy Izy taminy: Omeonareo hanina izy. Ary hoy ireo: Tsy manana mihoatra noho ny mofo dimy sy hazandrano roa izahay, raha tsy handeha hividy hanina ho an'ireo olona rehetra ireo.

¹³And he said unto them, `Give ye them to eat;` and they said, `We have no more than five loaves, and two fishes: except, having gone, we may buy for all this people victuals;`

¹⁴Fa tokony ho dimy arivo lahy izy. Ary hoy Izy tamin'ny mpianany: Asaovy mipetraka an-tokony izy ka tokony ho dimam-polo avy.

¹⁴for they were about five thousand men. And he said unto his disciples, `Cause them to recline in companies, in each fifty;`

¹⁵Dia nataony izany, ka nampipetraka azy rehetra izy.

¹⁵and they did so, and made all to recline;

¹⁶Ary rehefa noraisin'i Jesosy ny mofo dimy sy ny hazandrano roa, dia niandrandra ny lanitra Izy, ka nanaovany fisaorana ireo, dia novakiny ka natolony ny mpianany harosony eny anoloan'ny vahoaka.[Na: nasiany]

¹⁶and having taken the five loaves, and the two fishes, having looked up to the heaven, he blessed them, and brake, and was giving to the disciples to set before the multitude;

¹⁷Dia nihinana izy rehetra ka voky; ary nangonina izay sombintsombiny sisa tsy lany, ka nisy roa ambin'ny folo harona.

¹⁷and they did eat, and were all filled, and there was taken up what was over to them of broken pieces, twelve baskets.

¹⁸Ary raha nivavaka tao amin'ny mangingina Jesosy, sady teo aminy ny mpianany, dia nanontany azy Izy ka nanao hoe: Ataon'ny olona ho iza moa Aho?

¹⁸And it came to pass, as he is praying alone, the disciples were with him, and he questioned them, saying, `Who do the multitudes say me to be?`

¹⁹Dia namaly ireo ka nanao hoe: Jaona Mpanao-batisa; nefa ny sasany kosa manao Anao ho Elia, ary ny sasany indray manao hoe: Ny anankiray amin'ny mpaminany fahiny no efa nitsangana.

¹⁹And they answering said, `John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; and others, that a prophet, one of the ancients, was risen;`

²⁰Fa hoy Izy taminy: Fa ianareo kosa manao Ahy ho iza? Dia namaly Petera ka nanao hoe: Ny Kristin'Andriamanitra.

²⁰and he said to them, `And ye — who do ye say me to be?` and Peter answering said, `The Christ of God.`

²¹Ary Izy niteny mafy azy sady nandrara azy mba tsy hilazalaza izany amin'olona

²¹And having charged them, he commanded [them] to say this to no one,

²²ka nanao hoe: Ny Zanak'olona tsy maintsy hijaly mafy ka holavin'ny loholona sy ny lohan'ny mpisorona mbamin'ny mpanora-dalàna sady hovonoiny; ary amin'ny andro fahatelo dia hatsangana.

²²saying — `It behoveth the Son of Man to suffer many things, and to be rejected by the elders, and chief priests, and scribes, and to be killed, and the third day to be raised.`

²³Ary hoy koa Jesosy tamin'izy rehetra: Raha misy ta-hanaraka Ahy, aoka izy handà ny tenany, dia hitondra ny hazo fijaliany isan'andro ka hanaraka Ahy.

²³And he said unto all, `If any one doth will to come after me, let him disown himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me;

²⁴Fa na iza na iza no ta-hamonjy ny ainy dia hahavery izany; ary na iza na iza no hahavery ny ainy noho ny amiko, dia izy no hamonjy izany.

²⁴for whoever may will to save his life, shall lose it, and whoever may lose his life for my sake, he shall save it;

²⁵Fa inona no soa azon'ny olona, raha mahazo izao tontolo izao aza, kanefa very ny ainy, na matiantoka, izany izy?[Na: ny fanahiny]

²⁵for what is a man profited, having gained the whole world, and having lost or having forfeited himself?

²⁶Fa na iza na iza no ho menatra Ahy sy ny teniko, dia ho menatra azy kosa ny Zanak'olona, raha avy amin'ny voninahiny sy ny an'ny Rainy ary ny an'ny anjely masina.

²⁶`For whoever may be ashamed of me, and of my words, of this one shall the Son of Man be ashamed, when he may come in his glory, and the Father`s, and the holy messengers`;

²⁷Fa lazaiko aminareo tokoa: Misy ny sasany eto izay tsy mba hanandrana fahafatesana mandra-pahitany ny fanjakan'Andriamanitra.

²⁷and I say to you, truly, there are certain of those here standing, who shall not taste of death till they may see the reign of God.`

²⁸Ary rehefa tokony ho havaloana taorian'izany teny izany, dia nitondra an'i Petera sy Jaona ary Jakoba Izy ka niakatra tany an-tendrombohitra hivavaka.

²⁸And it came to pass, after these words, as it were eight days, that having taken Peter, and John, and James, he went up to the mountain to pray,

²⁹Ary raha mbola nivavaka Izy, dia niova ny toetry ny tarehiny, ary ny fitafiany dia tonga fotsy sady nanelatrelatra.

²⁹and it came to pass, in his praying, the appearance of his face became altered, and his garment white — sparkling.

³⁰Ary, indreo, nisy roa lahy niresaka taminy, dia Mosesy sy Elia,

³⁰And lo, two men were speaking together with him, who were Moses and Elijah,

³¹izay niseho tamin-boninahitra ka nilaza ny fialany, izay efa hefainy any Jerosalema.

³¹who having appeared in glory, spake of his outgoing that he was about to fulfil in Jerusalem,

³²Ary efa navesatry ny tory ny mason'i Petera sy ny namany; nefa nahari-tory ihany izy, dia nahita ny voninahitr'i Jesosy sy izy roa lahy izay teo aminy.[Na: Nony nahatsiaro tsara]

³²but Peter and those with him were heavy with sleep, and having waked, they saw his glory, and the two men standing with him.

³³Ary tamin'ny nisarahan'izy roa lahy taminy dia hoy Petera tamin'i Jesosy: Tompoko, tsara raha mitoetra eto isika; ary aoka izahay hanao tranolay telo: ny anankiray ho Anao, ny anankiray ho an'i Mosesy, ary ny anankiray ho an'i Elia; nefa tsy fantany izay nolazainy.

³³And it came to pass, in their parting from him, Peter said unto Jesus, `Master, it is good to us to be here; and we may make three booths, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah,` not knowing what he saith:

³⁴Ary raha mbola niteny izany izy, dia nisy rahona niseho nanarona azy ireo; ary raha niditra tao anatin'ny rahona ireo, dia raiki-tahotra ny mpianatra telo lahy.

³⁴and as he was speaking these things, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them, and they feared in their entering into the cloud,

³⁵Ary nisy feo avy tao amin'ny rahona nanao hoe: Ity no Zanako voafidiko; Izy no henoy.

³⁵and a voice came out of the cloud saying, `This is My Son — the Beloved; hear ye him;`

³⁶Ary rehefa nitsahatra ny feo, dia Jesosy irery ihany no hita. Ary nangina izy ireo ka tsy nilazalaza tamin'olona na dia iray akory aza tamin'izany andro izany ny amin'izay zavatra efa hitany.

³⁶and when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone; and they were silent, and declared to no one in those days anything of what they have seen.

³⁷Ary nony ampitson'iny, raha nidina avy teo an-tendrombohitra izy ireo, dia nisy vahoaka betsaka nitsena an'i Jesosy.

³⁷And it came to pass on the next day, they having come down from the mount, there met him a great multitude,

³⁸Ary, indro, nisy lehilahy anankiray avy teo amin'ny vahoaka nitaraina mafy hoe: Mpampianatra ô, masina Hianao, mamindrà fo amin'ny zanako! fa zanako-lahy tokana izy.

³⁸and lo, a man from the multitude cried out, saying, `Teacher, I beseech thee, look upon my son, because he is my only begotten;

³⁹Ary, indro, misy fanahy mahazo azy, ka miantsoantso tampoka izy, ary ny fanahy mampifanintontsintona ny tenany sy mampandoa vory azy, ary sarotra ny fialany aminy ka mahatorotorovana azy.

³⁹and lo, a spirit doth take him, and suddenly he doth cry out, and it teareth him, with foaming, and it hardly departeth from him, bruising him,

⁴⁰Ary nangataka tamin'ny mpianatrao aho mba hamoaka izany, fa tsy afany.

⁴⁰and I besought thy disciples that they might cast it out, and they were not able.`

⁴¹Ary Jesosy namaly ka nanao hoe: Ry taranaka sady tsy mino no efa nivadika, mandra-pahoviana no hitoerako aminareo sy handeferako aminareo? Ento etỳ ny zanakao.

⁴¹And Jesus answering said, `O generation, unstedfast and perverse, till when shall I be with you, and suffer you? bring near hither thy son;`

⁴²Ary raha mbola nanatona izy, dia nampihinjitrinjitra sy nampifanintontsintona azy ny demonia. Ary Jesosy niteny mafy ny fanahy maloto ka nahasitrana ny zazalahy; dia natolony tamin-drainy indray izy.

⁴²and as he is yet coming near, the demon rent him, and tore [him] sore, and Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the youth, and gave him back to his father.

⁴³Dia talanjona izy rehetra noho ny fiandrianan'Andriamanitra. Ny nilazan'i Jesosy fanindroany ny hahafatesany sy ny hitsanganany indray. Fa raha talanjona izy rehetra tamin'izay rehetra nataon'i Jesosy, dia hoy Izy tamin'ny mpianany:

⁴³And they were all amazed at the greatness of God, and while all are wondering at all things that Jesus did, he said unto his disciples,

⁴⁴Ampidironareo ao amin'ny sofinareo izany teny izany; fa ny Zanak'olona efa hatolotra eo an-tànan'ny olona.

⁴⁴`Lay ye to your ears these words, for the Son of Man is about to be delivered up to the hands of men.`

⁴⁵Nefa tsy azon'ny mpianatra io teny io sady nafenina azy izany mba tsy ho fantany; ary natahotra hanontany Azy ny amin'io teny io izy.

⁴⁵And they were not knowing this saying, and it was veiled from them, that they might not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.

⁴⁶Dia nisy fisainana niseho tao am-pony ny amin'izay ho lehibe ao aminy.

⁴⁶And there entered a reasoning among them, this, Who may be greater of them?

⁴⁷Ary Jesosy nahalala ny fisainan'ny fony, dia nandray zaza anankiray ka nametraka azy teo anoloany;

⁴⁷and Jesus having seen the reasoning of their heart, having taken hold of a child, set him beside himself,

⁴⁸ary hoy Izy tamin'ireo: Na zovy na zovy no mandray io zaza io noho ny anarako dia mandray Ahy; ary na zovy na zovy no mandray Ahy dia mandray Izay naniraka Ahy; fa izay kely indrindra ao aminareo rehetra, dia izy no lehibe.

⁴⁸and said to them, `Whoever may receive this child in my name, doth receive me, and whoever may receive me, doth receive Him who sent me, for he who is least among you all — he shall be great.`

⁴⁹Ary Jaona namaly ka nanao hoe: Tompoko, izahay nahita anankiray namoaka demonia tamin'ny anaranao, ka noraranay izy, satria tsy manaraka antsika.

⁴⁹And John answering said, `Master, we saw a certain one in thy name casting forth the demons, and we forbade him, because he doth not follow with us;`

⁵⁰Fa hoy Jesosy taminy: Aza raràna, fa izay tsy manohitra anareo dia momba anareo.

⁵⁰and Jesus said unto him, `Forbid not, for he who is not against us, is for us.`

⁵¹Ary rehefa ho tonga ny fotoana hampiakarana an'i Jesosy, dia niatrika hankany Jerosalema Izy.

⁵¹And it came to pass, in the completing of the days of his being taken up, that he fixed his face to go on to Jerusalem,

⁵²Ary nandefa iraka hialoha Azy Izy; dia nandeha ireo ka niditra tao amin'ny vohitra anankiray izay an'ny Samaritana hamboatra ho Azy.

⁵²and he sent messengers before his face, and having gone on, they went into a village of Samaritans, to make ready for him,

⁵³Fa tsy nandray Azy ny olona, satria nandroso toa ho any Jerosalema Izy.

⁵³and they did not receive him, because his face was going on to Jerusalem.

⁵⁴Ary raha hitan'i Jakoba sy Jaona mpianany izany, dia hoy izy: Tompoko, tianao va raha hiteny izahay mba hisy afo milatsaka avy any an-danitra handevona azy?[Ampio hoe: toy ny nataon'i Elia]

⁵⁴And his disciples James and John having seen, said, `Sir, wilt thou [that] we may command fire to come down from the heaven, and to consume them, as also Elijah did?`

⁵⁵Fa Izy nitodika, dia niteny mafy azy.[Ampio hoe: ka nanao hoe: Tsy fantatrareo ny toetry ny fanahy izay anareo. Fa ny Zanak'olona tsy tonga hahavery ny ain'olona, fa hamonjy azy]

⁵⁵and having turned, he rebuked them, and said, `Ye have not known of what spirit ye are;

⁵⁶Dia nankany amin'ny vohitra hafa Izy.

⁵⁶for the Son of Man did not come to destroy men`s lives, but to save;` and they went on to another village.

⁵⁷Ary nony nandroso teny an-dalana izy, dia nisy anankiray nanao tamin'i Jesosy hoe: Hanaraka Anao aho na aiza na aiza halehanao.

⁵⁷And it came to pass, as they are going on in the way, a certain one said unto him, `I will follow thee wherever thou mayest go, sir;`

⁵⁸Fa hoy Jesosy taminy: Ny amboahaolo manan-davaka, ary ny voro-manidina manana fialofana; fa ny Zanak'olona tsy mba manana izay hipetrahan'ny lohany.[volpa]

⁵⁸and Jesus said to him, `The foxes have holes, and the fowls of the heaven places of rest, but the Son of Man hath not where he may recline the head.`

⁵⁹Ary hoy Izy tamin'ny anankiray koa: Manaraha Ahy. Fa hoy kosa izy: Tompoko, aoka aho aloha handeha handevina ny raiko.

⁵⁹And he said unto another, `Be following me;` and he said, `Sir, permit me, having gone away, first to bury my father;`

⁶⁰Fa hoy Jesosy taminy: Aoka ny maty handevina ny maty ao aminy; fa ianao kosa mandehana, ka mitoria ny fanjakan'Andriamanitra.

⁶⁰and Jesus said to him, `Suffer the dead to bury their own dead, and thou, having gone away, publish the reign of God.`

⁶¹Ary hoy ny anankiray koa: Tompoko, hanaraka Anao ihany aho; fa aoka aho aloha handeha hanao veloma ny ao an-tranoko.Fa hoy Jesosy taminy: Tsy misy olona mitana fangady tarihina ary miherika ka miendrika ho ao amin'ny fanjakan'Andriamanitra.

⁶¹And another also said, `I will follow thee, sir, but first permit me to take leave of those in my house;`

⁶²Fa hoy Jesosy taminy: Tsy misy olona mitana fangady tarihina ary miherika ka miendrika ho ao amin'ny fanjakan'Andriamanitra.

⁶²and Jesus said unto him, `No one having put his hand on a plough, and looking back, is fit for the reign of God.`
