¹Ary niainga niala teo Jesosy, dia tonga tany amin'ny sisin-tanin'i Jodia sy tany an-dafin'i Jordana; ary nisy vahoaka betsaka indray niangona teo aminy; koa araka ny fanaony dia nampianatra azy indray Izy.

¹And having risen thence, he doth come to the coasts of Judea, through the other side of the Jordan, and again do multitudes come together unto him, and, as he had been accustomed, again he was teaching them.

²Ary nisy Fariseo nanatona Ary, dia naka fanahy Azy ka nanontany hoe: Mahazo misao-bady va ny lehilahy?

²And the Pharisees, having come near, questioned him, if it is lawful for a husband to put away a wife, tempting him,

³Ary Izy namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Ahoana no nandidian'i Mosesy anareo?

³and he answering said to them, `What did Moses command you?`

⁴Ary hoy izy: Navelan'i Mosesy hanoratra taratasy fisaoram-bady ny lehilahy ka hisao-bady (Deo. 24.1).

⁴and they said, `Moses suffered to write a bill of divorce, and to put away.`

⁵Fa hoy Jesosy taminy: Ny hamafin'ny fonareo no nanoratany izany didy izany ho anareo;

⁵And Jesus answering said to them, `For the stiffness of your heart he wrote you this command,

⁶fa hatramin'ny fony vao nanaovana izao tontolo izao dia lahy sy vavy no nanaovany ny olona (Gen. 1.27).

⁶but from the beginning of the creation, a male and a female God did make them;

⁷Ary noho izany ny lehilahy dia handao ny rainy sy ny reniny ka hikambana amin'ny vadiny;

⁷on this account shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave unto his wife,

⁸ary ho nofo iray izy roroa (Gen. 2. 24); ka dia tsy ho roa intsony izy, fa ho nofo iray ihany.

⁸and they shall be — the two — for one flesh; so that they are no more two, but one flesh;

⁹Koa izay nakamban'Andriamanitra dia aoka tsy hampisarahin'olona.

⁹what therefore God did join together, let not man put asunder.`

¹⁰Ary nony mby tao an-trano, dia nanontany ny amin'izany koa ny mpianatra.

¹⁰And in the house again his disciples of the same thing questioned him,

¹¹Ary hoy izy taminy: Na zovy na zovy no misao-bady ka mampakatra vehivavy hafa, dia mijangajanga ka manala-baraka ny vadiny.[Na: mijangajanga mandika ny lalàn'ny fanambadiana ny amin'ny vadiny]

¹¹and he saith to them, `Whoever may put away his wife, and may marry another, doth commit adultery against her;

¹²Ary raha ravehivavy kosa no misaotra ny lahy ka manambady olon-kafa, dia mijangajanga izy.

¹²and if a woman may put away her husband, and is married to another, she committeth adultery.`

¹³Ary nisy nitondra zazakely ho eo aminy mba hametrahany tanana; fa ny mpianany niteny mafy ireny.

¹³And they were bringing to him children, that he might touch them, and the disciples were rebuking those bringing them,

¹⁴Nefa tezitra Jesosy, raha nahita izany, ka hoy Izy taminy: Avelao ny zaza hanatona Ahy, ary aza raràna; fa an'ny toa azy ny fanjakan'Andriamanitra.

¹⁴and Jesus having seen, was much displeased, and he said to them, `Suffer the children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the reign of God;

¹⁵Lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa: Na zovy na zovy no tsy handray ny fanjakan'Andriamanitra tahaka ny zaza, dia tsy ho tafiditra aminy akory.

¹⁵verily I say to you, whoever may not receive the reign of God, as a child — he may not enter into it;`

¹⁶Ary nitrotro azy Izy, dia nametra-tanana taminy ka nitso-drano azy.

¹⁶and having taken them in his arms, having put [his] hands upon them, he was blessing them.

¹⁷Ary nony vao nivoaka nankeny an-dalana Jesosy, dia nisy olona anankiray nihazakazaka nanatona ka nandohalika teo anatrehany ary nanontany Azy hoe: Mpampianatra tsara ô, inona no hataoko handovako fiainana mandrakizay?

¹⁷And as he is going forth into the way, one having run and having kneeled to him, was questioning him, `Good teacher, what may I do, that life age-during I may inherit?`

¹⁸Ary hoy Jesosy taminy: Nahoana Aho no ataonao hoe tsara? Tsy misy tsara afa-tsy Iray ihany, dia Andriamanitra.

¹⁸And Jesus said to him, `Why me dost thou call good? no one [is] good except One — God;

¹⁹Fantatrao ny didy hoe: Aza mamono olona, Aza mijangajanga, Aza mangalatra, Aza mety ho vavolombelona mandainga, Aza manambaka, Manajà ny rainao sy ny reninao (Eks. 20. 12-17).

¹⁹the commands thou hast known: Thou mayest not commit adultery, Thou mayest do no murder, Thou mayest not steal, Thou mayest not bear false witness, Thou mayest not defraud, Honour thy father and mother.`

²⁰Ary hoy izy taminy Mpampianatra ô, izany rehetra izany efa notandremako hatry ny fony aho mbola kely.

²⁰And he answering said to him, `Teacher, all these did I keep from my youth.`

²¹Ary Jesosy nijery azy tsara, dia tia azy ka nanao taminy hoe: Diso zavatra iray loha ianao; mandehana, amidio izay rehetra anananao ka omeo ny malahelo, dia hanana rakitra any an-danitra ianao; ary avia hanaraka Ahy.

²¹And Jesus having looked upon him, did love him, and said to him, `One thing thou dost lack; go away, whatever thou hast — sell, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven, and come, be following me, having taken up the cross.`

²²Dia nanjombona terỳ ny tarehiny tamin'izany teny izany, ka niala tamin'alahelo izy, satria nanana harena be.

²²And he — gloomy at the word — went away sorrowing, for he was having many possessions.

²³Ary Jesosy nijery manodidina ka nanao tamin'ny mpianany hoe: Manao ahoana ny hasarotry ny hidiran'ny manan-karena amin'ny fanjakan'Andriamanitra!

²³And Jesus having looked round, saith to his disciples, `How hardly shall they who have riches enter into the reign of God!`

²⁴Ary ny mpianatra dia gaga tamin'ny teniny. Fa Jesosy namaly indray ka nanao taminy hoe: Anaka, manao ahoana ny hasarotry ny hidiran'ny matoky ny harena amin'ny fanjakan'Andriamanitra!

²⁴And the disciples were astonished at his words, and Jesus again answering saith to them, `Children, how hard is it to those trusting on the riches to enter into the reign of God!

²⁵Moramora kokoa ny hidiran'ny rameva amin'ny vodi-fanjaitra noho ny hidiran'ny manan-karena amin'ny fanjakan'Andriamanitra.

²⁵It is easier for a camel through the eye of the needle to enter, than for a rich man to enter into the reign of God.`

²⁶Dia talanjona indrindra izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Iza indray no azo hovonjena?[ Na: nifampilaza].

²⁶And they were astonished beyond measure, saying unto themselves, `And who is able to be saved?`

²⁷Fa Jesosy nijery azy ka nanao hoe: Raha amin'ny olona, dia zavatra tsy hainy izany; fa tsy mba tahaka izany amin'Andriamanitra; fa ny zavatra rehetra dia hain'Andriamanitra.

²⁷And Jesus, having looked upon them, saith, `With men it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God.`

²⁸Ary hoy Petera taminy: Indro, izahay efa nahafoy ny zavatra rehetra ka nanaraka Anao.

²⁸And Peter began to say to him, `Lo, we left all, and we followed thee.`

²⁹Hoy Jesosy: Lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa: Tsy misy olona efa nahafoy trano, na rahalahy, na anabavy, na reny, na ray, na zanaka, na tany, noho ny amiko sy ny filazantsara,

²⁹And Jesus answering said, `Verily I say to you, there is no one who left house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or fields, for my sake, and for the good news`,

³⁰ka tsy handray zato heny amin'izao andro ankehitriny izao-dia trano sy rahalahy sy anabavy sy reny sy zanaka sy tany mbamin'ny fanenjehana-ary amin'ny andro ho avy dia fiainana mandrakizay.

³⁰who may not receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brothers, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and fields, with persecutions, and in the age that is coming, life age-during;

³¹Nefa maro izay voalohany no ho farany, ary izay farany no ho voalohany.

³¹and many first shall be last, and the last first.`

³²Ary Jesosy sy ny mpianany dia teny an-dalana niakatra ho any Jerosalema, ary Jesosy nandeha eo alohany; dia gaga ny mpianany, ary izay nanaraka Azy dia natahotra. Ary naka ny roa ambin'ny folo lahy indray Izy, dia nilaza taminy izay efa hanjo Azy

³²And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was going before them, and they were amazed, and following they were afraid. And having again taken the twelve, he began to tell them the things about to happen to him,

³³ka nanao hoe: Indro, miakatra ho any Jerosalema isika; ary ny Zanak'olona hatolotra ho amin'ireo lohan'ny mpisorona sy mpanora-dalàna; ary hohelohiny ho faty Izy ka hatolony amin'ny jentilisa;

³³— `Lo, we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man shall be delivered to the chief priests, and to the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the nations,

³⁴ary hanao Azy ho fihomehezana ireny sy handrora Azy sy hikapoka Azy ary hahafaty Azy; fa rehefa afaka hateloana, dia hitsangana indray Izy.

³⁴and they shall mock him, and scourge him, and spit on him, and kill him, and the third day he shall rise again.`

³⁵Ary Jakoba sy Jaona, zanak'i Zebedio, nanatona an'i Jesosy ka nanao taminy hoe: Mpampianatra ô, tianay mba hataonao aminay izay angatahinay aminao.

³⁵And there come near to him James and John, the sons of Zebedee, saying, `Teacher, we wish that whatever we may ask for ourselves, thou mayest do for us;`

³⁶Ary hoy Izy taminy: Inona moa no tianareo hataoko aminareo?

³⁶and he said to them, `What do ye wish me to do for you?`

³⁷Dia hoy izy mirahalahy taminy: Mba ekeo ny hipetrahanay, ny anankiray ho eo amin'ny ankavananao, ary ny anankiray ho eo amin'ny an-kavianao, any amin'ny voninahitrao.

³⁷and they said to him, `Grant to us that, one on thy right hand and one on thy left, we may sit in thy glory;`

³⁸Fa hoy Jesosy taminy: Tsy fantatrareo izay angatahinareo; hainareo va ny hisotro amin'ny kapoaka izay sotroiko, na ny hatao batisa amin'ny batisa izay anaovana Ahy batisa?

³⁸and Jesus said to them, `Ye have not known what ye ask; are ye able to drink of the cup that I drink of, and with the baptism that I am baptized with — to be baptized?`

³⁹Dia hoy izy mirahalahy taminy: Hainay ihany. Ary hoy Jesosy taminy: Raha ny kapoaka izay sotroiko, dia hosotroinareo ihany, ary ny batisa izay anaovana Ahy batisa dia hanaovana anareo ihany;

³⁹And they said to him, `We are able;` and Jesus said to them, `Of the cup indeed that I drink of, ye shall drink, and with the baptism that I am baptized with, ye shall be baptized;

⁴⁰fa ny hipetraka eo an-tanako ankavanana na eo an-tanako ankavia kosa, dia tsy Ahy ny hanome izany, fa izay nanamboarana izany no homena.

⁴⁰but to sit on my right and on my left, is not mine to give, but — to those for whom it hath been prepared.`

⁴¹Ary nony nandre izany izy folo lahy, dia tezitra noho ny nataon'i Jakoba sy Jaona izy.

⁴¹And the ten having heard, began to be much displeased at James and John,

⁴²Fa Jesosy niantso azy hanatona Azy ka nanao taminy hoe: Fantatrareo fa izay eken'ny jentilisa ho mpanapaka dia mampanompo azy, ary ny lehibeny dia mifehy azy.

⁴²but Jesus having called them near, saith to them, `Ye have known that they who are considered to rule the nations do exercise lordship over them, and their great ones do exercise authority upon them;

⁴³Fa tsy mba toy izany aminareo; fa na iza na iza no te-ho lehibe eo aminareo, dia ho mpanompo anareo izy.

⁴³but not so shall it be among you; but whoever may will to become great among you, he shall be your minister,

⁴⁴Ary na iza na iza no te-ho ambony eo aminareo, dia ho mpanompon'izy rehetra.

⁴⁴and whoever of you may will to become first, he shall be servant of all;

⁴⁵Fa ny Zanak'olona tsy tonga mba hotompoina, fa mba hanompo ka hanolotra ny ainy ho avotra hisolo ny maro.

⁴⁵for even the Son of Man came not to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.`

⁴⁶Ary tonga tao Jeriko izy; ary raha vao niala tao Jeriko Jesosy mbamin'ny mpianany sy ny vahoaka betsaka, dia nipetraka teo amoron-dalana Bartimeo jamba mpangataka, zanak'i Timeo.

⁴⁶And they come to Jericho, and as he is going forth from Jericho, with his disciples and a great multitude, a son of Timaeus — Bartimaeus the blind — was sitting beside the way begging,

⁴⁷Ary nony reny fa, injay! Jesosy avy any Nazareta, dia niantso izy ka nanao hoe: Ry Jesosy, Zanak'i Davida ô, mamindrà fo amiko!

⁴⁷and having heard that it is Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out, and to say, `The Son of David — Jesus! deal kindly with me;`

⁴⁸Ary maro no niteny mafy azy mba hangina; fa vao mainka niantsoantso izy ka nanao hoe: Ry Zanak'i Davida ô, mamindrà fo amiko.

⁴⁸and many were rebuking him, that he might keep silent, but the more abundantly he cried out, `Son of David, deal kindly with me.`

⁴⁹Ary Jesosy nijanona, dia nanao hoe: Antsoy ilay jamba. Ary ny olona niantso azy ka nanao taminy hoe: Matokia, mitsangàna, miantso anao Izy.

⁴⁹And Jesus having stood, he commanded him to be called, and they call the blind man, saying to him, `Take courage, rise, he doth call thee;`

⁵⁰Dia nanary ny lambany izy ka niantsambotra nankeo amin'i Jesosy.

⁵⁰and he, having cast away his garment, having risen, did come unto Jesus.

⁵¹Ary Jesosy namaly azy hoe: Inona no tianao hataoko aminao? Ary hoy ilay jamba taminy: Rabôny ô, ny mba hampahiratina ny masoko.Ary hoy Jesosy taminy: Mandehana ianao, ny finoanao no efa namonjy anao. Dia nahiratra niaraka tamin'izay ny masony, ka nanaraka an'i Jesosy teny an-dalana izy.

⁵¹And answering, Jesus saith to him, `What wilt thou I may do to thee?` and the blind man said to him, `Rabboni, that I may see again;`

⁵²Ary hoy Jesosy taminy: Mandehana ianao, ny finoanao no efa namonjy anao. Dia nahiratra niaraka tamin'izay ny masony, ka nanaraka an'i Jesosy teny an-dalana izy.

⁵²and Jesus said to him, `Go, thy faith hath saved thee:` and immediately he saw again, and was following Jesus in the way.
