¹Ny niandohan'ny filazantsaran'i Jesosy Kristy, Zanak'Andriamanitra.

¹A beginning of the good news of Jesus Christ, Son of God.

²Araka izay voasoratra ao amin'Isaia mpaminany hoe: Indro, Izaho maniraka ny irako hialoha Anao, Izay hamboatra ny lalanao (Mal 3. 1); [Na: ao amin'ny mpaminany]

²As it hath been written in the prophets, `Lo, I send My messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee,` —

³Injany! misy feon'ny miantso mafy any an-efitra hoe: Amboary ny lalan'i Jehovah. Ataovy mahitsy ny lalan-kalehany (Isa 40. 3),

³`A voice of one calling in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, straight make ye his paths,` —

⁴dia niseho Jaona, izay nanao batisa tany an-efitra ka nitory ny batisan'ny fibebahana ho famelan-keloka.

⁴John came baptizing in the wilderness, and proclaiming a baptism of reformation — to remission of sins,

⁵Dia nandeha nanatona azy ny tany Jodia rehetra sy ny mponina rehetra tany Jerosalema, ka nataony batisa tao amin'ny ony Jordana ireny, rehefa niaiky ny fahotany.

⁵and there were going forth to him all the region of Judea, and they of Jerusalem, and they were all baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.

⁶Ary Jaona nitafy lamba volon-drameva; ary fehin-kibo hoditra no tamin'ny valahany, ary ny fihinany dia valala sy tantely remby.

⁶And John was clothed with camel`s hair, and a girdle of skin around his loins, and eating locusts and honey of the field,

⁷Ary nitory izy ka nanao hoe: Avy ao aoriako Ilay mahery noho izaho, ka tsy miendrika hiondrika hamaha ny fehin-kapany aza aho.

⁷and he proclaimed, saying, `He doth come — who is mightier than I — after me, of whom I am not worthy — having stooped down — to loose the latchet of his sandals;

⁸Izaho efa nanao batisa anareo tamin'ny rano, fa Izy kosa hanao batisa anareo amin'ny Fanahy Masina.

⁸I indeed did baptize you with water, but he shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit.`

⁹Ary tamin'izany andro izany dia tonga avy tany Nazareta any Galilia Jesosy ka nataon'i Jaona batisa tao Jordana.

⁹And it came to pass in those days, Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John at the Jordan;

¹⁰Ary raha vao niakatra avy teo amin'ny rano Izy, dia hitany ny lanitra nisokatra, ary ny Fanahy nidina tahaka ny voromailala ka nankeo amboniny.

¹⁰and immediately coming up from the water, he saw the heavens dividing, and the Spirit as a dove coming down upon him;

¹¹Ary nisy feo avy tany an-danitra nanao hoe: Hianao no Zanako malalako, Hianao no sitrako.

¹¹and a voice came out of the heavens, `Thou art My Son — the Beloved, in whom I did delight.`

¹²Ary niaraka tamin'izay dia nampandehanin'ny Fanahy ho any an-efitra Izy.[Gr. noroahin']

¹²And immediately doth the Spirit put him forth to the wilderness,

¹³Ary tany an-efitra efa-polo andro Izy ka nalain'i Satana fanahy; ary teo amin'ny bibi-dia Izy, ary ny anjely nanompo Azy.

¹³and he was there in the wilderness forty days, being tempted by the Adversary, and he was with the beasts, and the messengers were ministering to him.

¹⁴Ary rehefa voasambotra Jaona, dia nankany Galilia Jesosy nitory ny filazantsaran'Andriamanitra

¹⁴And after the delivering up of John, Jesus came to Galilee, proclaiming the good news of the reign of God,

¹⁵ka nanao hoe: Efa tonga ny fotoana, ka efa akaiky ny fanjakan'Andriamanitra; mibebaha ianareo ka minoa ny filazantsara.

¹⁵and saying — `Fulfilled hath been the time, and the reign of God hath come nigh, reform ye, and believe in the good news.`

¹⁶Ary nony nandalo teny amoron'ny Ranomasin'i Galilia Izy, dia nahita an'i Simona sy Andrea, rahalahin'i Simona, nanarato teo amin'ny ranomasina; fa mpanarato izy.

¹⁶And, walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon, and Andrew his brother, casting a drag into the sea, for they were fishers,

¹⁷Ary hoy Jesosy taminy: Andeha hanaraka Ahy, fa hataoko mpanarato olona ianareo.

¹⁷and Jesus said to them, `Come ye after me, and I shall make you to become fishers of men;`

¹⁸Dia nandao ny harato niaraka tamin'izay izy ka nanaraka Azy.

¹⁸and immediately, having left their nets, they followed him.

¹⁹Ary rehefa nandroso kelikely Izy, nahita an'i Jakoba, zanak'i Zebedio, Jaona rahalahiny, izay teo an-tsambokely koa namboatra ny haratony.

¹⁹And having gone on thence a little, he saw James of Zebedee, and John his brother, and they were in the boat refitting the nets,

²⁰Dia niantso azy niaraka tamin'izay Izy; ary izy mirahalahy nandao an'i Zebedio rainy teo an-tsambokely mbamin'ny olona nokaramainy, ka dia nanaraka an'i Jesosy.

²⁰and immediately he called them, and, having left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, they went away after him.

²¹Ary nankany Kapernaomy izy ireo; nony tamin'ny Sabata, dia niditra tao amin'ny synagoga niaraka tamin'izay Jesosy ka nampianatra.

²¹And they go on to Capernaum, and immediately, on the sabbaths, having gone into the synagogue, he was teaching,

²²Dia talanjona ny olona tamin'ny fampianarany, satria nampianatra azy tahaka izay manana fahefana Izy, fa tsy mba tahaka ny mpanora-dalàna.

²²and they were astonished at his teaching, for he was teaching them as having authority, and not as the scribes.

²³Ary niaraka tamin'izay dia nisy olona teo amin'ny synagogany, izay azon'ny fanahy maloto; ary niantso mafy ralehilahy

²³And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit, and he cried out,

²⁴ka nanao hoe: Moa mifaninona akory izahay sy Hianao, ry Jesosy avy any Nazareta? Avy handringana anay va Hianao? Fantatro fa Ilay Masin'Andriamanitra Hianao.

²⁴saying, `Away! what — to us and to thee, Jesus the Nazarene? thou didst come to destroy us; I have known thee who thou art — the Holy One of God.`

²⁵Ary Jesosy niteny mafy azy ka nanao hoe: Mangina ianao ka mivoaha aminy.

²⁵And Jesus rebuked him, saying, `Be silenced, and come forth out of him,`

²⁶Ary ny fanahy maloto nampifanintontsintona ny tenan'ilay marary, dia niantso tamin'ny feo mahery ka niala taminy.

²⁶and the unclean spirit having torn him, and having cried with a great voice, came forth out of him,

²⁷Dia gaga ny olona rehetra ka nifanontany hoe: Manao ahoana re izao zavatra izao? Fampianarana vaovao misy fahefana izao! fa ny fanahy maloto aza no didiany, ka dia manaiky Azy.

²⁷and they were all amazed, so as to reason among themselves, saying, `What is this? what new teaching [is] this? that with authority also the unclean spirits he commandeth, and they obey him!`

²⁸Ary ny lazany dia niely niaraka tamin'izay teny tontolo eny tamin'ny tany rehetra eran'i Galilia.

²⁸And the fame of him went forth immediately to all the region, round about, of Galilee.

²⁹Ary niaraka tamin'izay, raha nivoaka avy tao amin'ny synagoga izy, dia niditra tao an-tranon'i Simona sy Andrea Jesosy ary Jakoba sy Jaona.

²⁹And immediately, having come forth out of the synagogue, they went to the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John,

³⁰Ary ny rafozam-bavin'i Simona nandry teo nanavin'ny tazo; ary niaraka tamin'izay dia nilaza azy taminy izy ireo.

³⁰and the mother-in-law of Simon was lying fevered, and immediately they tell him about her,

³¹Dia nanatona Jesosy ka nandray ny tànany ary nanarina azy; dia afaka ny tazony, ka dia nanompo azy izy.

³¹and having come near, he raised her up, having laid hold of her hand, and the fever left her immediately, and she was ministering to them.

³²Ary nony hariva ny andro, ka nilentika ny masoandro, dia nentina tany aminy ny marary rehetra sy ny demoniaka.

³²And evening having come, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all who were ill, and who were demoniacs,

³³Ary ny tao an-tanàna rehetra dia tafangona teo anoloan'ny varavarana avokoa.

³³and the whole city was gathered together near the door,

³⁴Ary nahasitrana olona maro izay nararin'ny aretina samy hafa Izy sady namoaka demonia maro; ary tsy navelany hiteny ny demonia, satria nahafantatra Azy ireny.

³⁴and he healed many who were ill of manifold diseases, and many demons he cast forth, and was not suffering the demons to speak, because they knew him.

³⁵Ary nifoha maraina alina koa Izy, dia nivoaka nankany an-tany foana ka nivavaka tany.

³⁵And very early, it being yet night, having risen, he went forth, and went away to a desert place, and was there praying;

³⁶Ary dia nandeha nitady Azy Simona sy ny namany.

³⁶and Simon and those with him went in quest of him,

³⁷Ary nahita Azy izy, dia nanao taminy hoe: Ny olona rehetra mitady Anao.

³⁷and having found him, they say to him, — `All do seek thee;`

³⁸Fa hoy kosa Izy taminy: Andeha isika hiala hankany amin'ny tanàna akaiky, mba hitoriako teny any koa; fa izay no nahatongavako.

³⁸and he saith to them, `We may go to the next towns, that there also I may preach, for for this I came forth.`

³⁹Dia nandeha Izy ka nitori-teny tao amin'ny synagogan'ny olona eran'i Galilia sady namoaka ny demonia.

³⁹And he was preaching in their synagogues, in all Galilee, and is casting out the demons,

⁴⁰Ary nisy boka nanatona Azy ka nitaraina taminy sady nandohalika teo anatrehany ka nanao taminy hoe: Raha mety Hianao, dia mahay manadio ahy.

⁴⁰and there doth come to him a leper, calling on him, and kneeling to him, and saying to him — `If thou mayest will, thou art able to cleanse me.`

⁴¹Ary Jesosy dia onena azy ka naninjitra ny tànany, dia nanendry azy ka nanao taminy hoe: Mety Aho; madiova ianao.

⁴¹And Jesus having been moved with compassion, having stretched forth the hand, touched him, and saith to him, `I will; be thou cleansed;`

⁴²Ary niaraka tamin'izay dia niala taminy ny habokany, ka dia nadio izy.

⁴²and he having spoken, immediately the leprosy went away from him, and he was cleansed.

⁴³Ary namepetra azy mafy Jesosy, dia nampandeha azy niaraka tamin'izay

⁴³And having sternly charged him, immediately he put him forth,

⁴⁴ka nanao taminy hoe: Tandremo tsara mba tsy hisy holazainao na amin'iza na amin'iza; fa mandehana, misehoa amin'ny mpisorona, ka manatera ny fanadiovana anao, izay nandidian'i Mosesy, ho vavolombelona amin'ireo.Nefa lasa ralehilahy ka nilazalaza sy nampiely izany zavatra izany, ka dia tsy nahazo niditra miharihary tao an-tanàna intsony Jesosy; fa nitoetra tany ivelany tamin'ny tany foana Izy, dia nanatona Azy ny olona avy eny tontolo eny.

⁴⁴and saith to him, `See thou mayest say nothing to any one, but go away, thyself shew to the priest, and bring near for thy cleansing the things Moses directed, for a testimony to them.`

⁴⁵Nefa lasa ralehilahy ka nilazalaza sy nampiely izany zavatra izany, ka dia tsy nahazo niditra miharihary tao an-tanàna intsony Jesosy; fa nitoetra tany ivelany tamin'ny tany foana Izy, dia nanatona Azy ny olona avy eny tontolo eny.

⁴⁵And he, having gone forth, began to proclaim much, and to spread abroad the thing, so that no more he was able openly to enter into the city, but he was without in desert places, and they were coming unto him from every quarter.
