¹Rehefa indroa andro no sisa tsy hahatongavan'ny Paska, fihinanana ny mofo tsy misy masirasira, dia nitady hisambotra an'i Jesosy tamin'ny fitaka ny lohan'ny mpisorona sy ny mpanora-dalàna mba hamonoany Azy.

¹And the passover and the unleavened food were after two days, and the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how, by guile, having taken hold of him, they might kill him;

²Nefa hoy izy: Tsy amin'ny andro firavoravoana, fandrao hampitabataba ny vahoaka.

²and they said, `Not in the feast, lest there shall be a tumult of the people.`

³Ary nony tany Betania Jesosy tao an-tranon'i Simona boka ka nipetraka nihinana, dia avy ny vehivavy anankiray nitondra tavoara alabastara feno menaka manitra nisy narda saro-bidy indrindra; dia novakiny ny tavoara, ka naidiny tamin'ny lohan'i Jesosy ny menaka.

³And he, being in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, at his reclining (at meat), there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment, of spikenard, very precious, and having broken the alabaster box, did pour on his head;

⁴Ary nisy ny sasany tezitra ka nifampilaza hoe: Inona no anton'izao fandaniam-poana ny menaka manitra izao?

⁴and there were certain much displeased within themselves, and saying, `For what hath this waste of the ointment been made?

⁵Fa azo namidy ho lafo tsy omby denaria telon-jato iny menaka manitra iny ka homena ny malahelo. Dia tezitra indrindra tamin-dravehivavy ireo.

⁵for this could have been sold for more than three hundred denaries, and given to the poor;` and they were murmuring at her.

⁶Fa hoy Jesosy taminy: Avelao izy; nahoana ianareo no mampalahelo azy? Asa soa no nataony tamiko.

⁶And Jesus said, `Let her alone; why are ye giving her trouble? a good work she wrought on me;

⁷Fa ny malahelo dia eto aminareo mandrakariva, ary na oviana na oviana no tianareo hanaovana soa aminy, dia mahazo manao ianareo; fa Izaho kosa tsy mba ho eto aminareo mandrakariva.

⁷for the poor always ye have with you, and whenever ye may will ye are able to do them good, but me ye have not always;

⁸Efa nanao izay azony natao izy: namonjy nanosotra ny tenako hanamboarany Ahy halevina izy.

⁸what she could she did, she anticipated to anoint my body for the embalming.

⁹Ary lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa: Na aiza na aiza amin'izao tontolo izao no hitoriana ny filazantsara, dia holazaina koa izao nataon-dravehivavy izao mba ho fahatsiarovana azy.

⁹Verily I say to you, wherever this good news may be proclaimed in the whole world, what also this woman did shall be spoken of — for a memorial of her.`

¹⁰Ary Jodasy Iskariota, ilay isan'ny roa ambin'ny folo lahy, dia nankeo amin'ny lohan'ny mpisorona hamadika an'i Jesosy aminy.

¹⁰And Judas the Iscariot, one of the twelve, went away unto the chief priests that he might deliver him up to them,

¹¹Ary rehefa nandre izany izy ireo, dia faly ka nanaiky hanome vola azy. Ary Jodasy dia nitady izay andro hahazoany mamadika Azy.

¹¹and having heard, they were glad, and promised to give him money, and he was seeking how, conveniently, he might deliver him up.

¹²Ary tamin'ny voalohan'ny andro fihinanana ny mofo tsy misy masirasira, izay famonoana ny Paska, dia hoy ny mpianany taminy: Aiza no tianao halehanay hanamboaranay mba hihinananao ny Paska?

¹²And the first day of the unleavened food, when they were killing the passover, his disciples say to him, `Where wilt thou, [that,] having gone, we may prepare, that thou mayest eat the passover?`

¹³Dia naniraka roa lahy tamin'ny mpianany Izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Mankanesa any an-tanàna, ary hisy lehilahy mitondra siny feno rano hifanena aminareo; dia manaraha azy.

¹³And he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and saith to them, `Go ye away to the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water, follow him;

¹⁴Ary lazao amin'ny tompon'ny trano izay hidirany hoe: Izao no lazain'ny Mpampianatra: Aiza ny efi-trano hiarahako mihinana ny Paska amin'ny mpianatro?

¹⁴and wherever he may go in, say ye to the master of the house — The Teacher saith, Where is the guest-chamber, where the passover, with my disciples, I may eat?

¹⁵Ary izy hanoro anareo efi-trano malalaka ambony rihana izay voaisy fipetrahana sady voavoatra tsara; any no amboary ho antsika.

¹⁵and he will shew you a large upper room, furnished, prepared — there make ready for us.`

¹⁶Ary ny mpianatra nandeha, dia tonga tany an-tanàna ka nahita araka izay nolazainy taminy; dia namboatra ny Paska izy.

¹⁶And his disciples went forth, and came to the city, and found as he said to them, and they made ready the passover.

¹⁷Ary nony hariva ny andro, dia tonga Izy sy ny roa ambin'ny folo lahy.

¹⁷And evening having come, he cometh with the twelve,

¹⁸Ary raha nipetraka nihinana izy, dia hoy Jesosy: Lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa fa ny anankiray aminareo, dia izay iray miara-mihinana amiko, no hamadika Ahy.

¹⁸and as they are reclining, and eating, Jesus said, `Verily I say to you — one of you, who is eating with me — shall deliver me up.`

¹⁹Dia nalahelo izy, ka samy nanontany Azy tsirairay hoe: Izaho va izany?

¹⁹And they began to be sorrowful, and to say to him, one by one, `Is it I?` and another, `Is it I?`

²⁰Ary Izy nanao taminy hoe: Izay anankiray amin'ny roa ambin'ny folo lahy miara-manatsoboka amiko ao anatin'ny lovia no izy.

²⁰And he answering said to them, `One of the twelve who is dipping with me in the dish;

²¹Fa ny Zanak'olona dia mandeha tokoa, araka ny nanoratana Azy, nefa lozan'izay olona hahazoana ny Zanak'olona hatolotra! Tsara ho an'izany olona izany raha tsy ary akory.

²¹the Son of Man doth indeed go, as it hath been written concerning him, but wo to that man through whom the Son of Man is delivered up; good were it to him if that man had not been born.`

²²Ary raha mbola nihinana izy, Jesosy nandray mofo; ka nony efa nisaotra, dia novakiny ka natolony azy ary nataony hoe: Raiso, ity no tenako.

²²And as they are eating, Jesus having taken bread, having blessed, brake, and gave to them, and said, `Take, eat; this is my body.`

²³Dia nandray kapoaka Izy, ka nony efa nisaotra, dia natolony azy; ka dia nisotroan'izy rehetra izany.

²³And having taken the cup, having given thanks, he gave to them, and they drank of it — all;

²⁴Ary hoy Izy taminy: Ity no rako amin'ny fanekena, izay alatsaka hamonjy ny maro.[Na: fanekena vaovao]

²⁴and he said to them, `This is my blood of the new covenant, which for many is being poured out;

²⁵Lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa: Tsy mba hisotro ny vokatry ny voaloboka intsony Aho mandre-pihavin'ny andro hisotroako izay vaovao any amin'ny fanjakan'Andriamanitra.

²⁵verily I say to you, that no more may I drink of the produce of the vine till that day when I may drink it new in the reign of God.`

²⁶Ary rehefa nihira fiderana izy, dia lasa nankany an-tendrombohitra Oliva.

²⁶And having sung an hymn, they went forth to the mount of the Olives,

²⁷Ary hoy Jesosy taminy: Ho tafintohina avokoa ianareo rehetra; fa voasoratra hoe: Hamely ny mpiandry Aho, dia hihahaka ny ondry (Zak. 13. 7).

²⁷and Jesus saith to them — `All ye shall be stumbled at me this night, because it hath been written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered abroad,

²⁸Fa rehefa mitsangana Aho, dia hialoha anareo ho any Galilia.

²⁸but after my having risen I will go before you to Galilee.`

²⁹Fa hoy Petera taminy: Na dia ho tafintohina avokoa aza ny olona rehetra, izaho tsy mba ho tafintohina.

²⁹And Peter said to him, `And if all shall be stumbled, yet not I;`

³⁰Ary hoy Jesosy taminy: Lazaiko aminao marina tokoa: Anio, dia amin'ity alina ity, raha tsy mbola misy akoho maneno fanindroany, dia handà Ahy intelo ianao.

³⁰And Jesus said to him, `Verily I say to thee, that to-day, this night, before a cock shall crow twice, thrice thou shalt deny me.`

³¹Fa vao mainka niteny mafy dia mafy izy hoe: Na dia hiara-maty aminao aza aho, tsy mba handà Anao tokoa aho. Ary toy izany koa no nolazain'izy rehetra.

³¹And he spake the more vehemently, `If it may be necessary for me to die with thee — I will in nowise deny thee;` and in like manner also said they all.

³²Ary tonga tany amin'ny saha izay atao hoe Getsemane izy; dia hoy Jesosy tamin'ny mpianany: Mipetraha eto ianareo mandra-pivavako.

³²And they come to a spot, the name of which [is] Gethsemane, and he saith to his disciples, `Sit ye here till I may pray;`

³³Ary nitondra an'i Petera sy Jakoba sy Jaona Izy, dia talanjona sady ory indrindra.

³³and he taketh Peter, and James, and John with him, and began to be amazed, and to be very heavy,

³⁴Ary hoy Izy taminy: Fadiranovana loatra ny fanahiko toy ny efa ho faty; mitoera eto, ka miareta tory.

³⁴and he saith to them, `Exceeding sorrowful is my soul — to death; remain here, and watch.`

³⁵Ary nony nandroso kelikely Izy, dia niankohoka tamin'ny tany ka nivavaka mba hialan'izany ora izany aminy, raha azo atao.

³⁵And having gone forward a little, he fell upon the earth, and was praying, that, if it be possible the hour may pass from him,

³⁶Ary hoy Izy: Aba, Raiko ô, ny zavatra rehetra hainao; esory amiko ity kapoaka ity; nefa aoka tsy ny sitrapoko anie no hatao, fa ny Anao.

³⁶and he said, `Abba, Father; all things are possible to Thee; make this cup pass from me; but, not what I will, but what Thou.`

³⁷Ary avy Izy ka nahita azy ireo matory, dia hoy Izy tamin'i Petera: Ry Simona, matory va ianao? Tsy nahazaka niari-tory na dia ora iray ihany aza va ianao?

³⁷And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith to Peter, `Simon, thou dost sleep! thou wast not able to watch one hour!

³⁸Miareta tory ianareo, ka mivavaha, mba tsy hidiranareo amin'ny fakam-panahy; mety ihany ny fanahy, fa ny nofo no tsy manan-kery.

³⁸Watch ye and pray, that ye may not enter into temptation; the spirit indeed is forward, but the flesh weak.`

³⁹Dia lasa indray Izy ka nivavaka nanao ilay teny teo ihany.

³⁹And again having gone away, he prayed, the same word saying;

⁴⁰Ary nony niverina indray Izy, dia nahita azy matory, fa efa nilondolondo ny masony, ka tsy hitany izay havaliny Azy.

⁴⁰and having returned, he found them again sleeping, for their eyes were heavy, and they had not known what they might answer him.

⁴¹Ary avy fanintelony Izy, dia nanao taminy hoe: Matoria ary ankehitriny, ka mialà sasatra ianareo. Aoka izay; efa tonga ny ora; indro, ny Zanak'olona hatolotra ao an-tànan'ny mpanota.

⁴¹And he cometh the third time, and saith to them, `Sleep on henceforth, and rest — it is over; the hour did come; lo, the Son of Man is delivered up to the hands of the sinful;

⁴²Mitsangàna, andeha isika; indro fa efa akaiky ilay mamadika Ahy.

⁴²rise, we may go, lo, he who is delivering me up hath come nigh.`

⁴³Ary niaraka tamin'izay, raha mbola niteny Izy, dia avy Jodasy, isan'ny roa ambin'ny folo lahy, sady nisy vahoaka niaraka taminy, nitondra sabatra sy langilangy, nirahin'ny lohan'ny mpisorona sy ny mpanora-dalàna ary ny loholona.

⁴³And immediately — while he is yet speaking — cometh near Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude, with swords and sticks, from the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders;

⁴⁴Ary ilay hamadika Azy efa nanome famantarana ireo ka nanao hoe: Izay horohako no Izy; sambory Izy ka ento, fa aza avela ho afaka.

⁴⁴and he who is delivering him up had given a token to them, saying, `Whomsoever I shall kiss, he it is, lay hold on him, and lead him away safely,`

⁴⁵Ary rehefa tonga izy, dia nanatona an'i Jesosy niaraka tamin'izay ka nanao hoe: Raby ô! dia nanoroka Azy izy.

⁴⁵and having come, immediately, having gone near him, he saith, `Rabbi, Rabbi,` and kissed him.

⁴⁶Ary ny olona naninjitra ny tànany taminy ka nisambotra Azy.

⁴⁶And they laid on him their hands, and kept hold on him;

⁴⁷Ary ny anankiray tamin'izay teo anilany nanatsoaka ny sabany, dia nikapa ny mpanompon'ny mpisoronabe ka nahafaka ny sofiny.

⁴⁷and a certain one of those standing by, having drawn the sword, struck the servant of the chief priest, and took off his ear.

⁴⁸Ary Jesosy namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Mivoaka mitondra sabatra sy langilangy hisambotra Ahy toy ny hisambotra jiolahy va ianareo?

⁴⁸And Jesus answering said to them, `As against a robber ye came out, with swords and sticks, to take me!

⁴⁹Teo aminareo isan'andro Aho an-kianjan'ny tempoly, nefa tsy nisambotra Ahy ianareo; fa mba hahatanteraka ny Soratra Masina izao.

⁴⁹daily I was with you in the temple teaching, and ye did not lay hold on me — but that the Writings may be fulfilled.`

⁵⁰Ary samy nandao Azy izy rehetra ka nandositra.

⁵⁰And having left him they all fled;

⁵¹Ary nisy zatovo anankiray nanaraka Azy, ka lamba hariry madinika fotsiny ihany no nitafiany, ary nosamborin'ny olona teo izy.

⁵¹and a certain young man was following him, having put a linen cloth about [his] naked body, and the young men lay hold on him,

⁵²Dia navelany teny aminy ny lambany hariry madinika, ka nandositra nitanjaka izy.

⁵²and he, having left the linen cloth, did flee from them naked.

⁵³Ary nitondra an'i Jesosy ho any amin'ny mpisoronabe izy; ary niangona teo aminy ny lohan'ny mpisorona rehetra sy ny loholona ary ny mpanora-dalàna.

⁵³And they led away Jesus unto the chief priest, and come together to him do all the chief priests, and the elders, and the scribes;

⁵⁴Ary Petera efa nanaraka Azy teny lavidavitra eny hatrany amin'ny kianjan'ny tranon'ny mpisoronabe; ary niara-nipetraka teo amin'ny mpiandry raharaha izy namindro teo anilan'ny afo.

⁵⁴and Peter afar off did follow him, to the inside of the hall of the chief priest, and he was sitting with the officers, and warming himself near the fire.

⁵⁵Ary ny lohan'ny mpisorona sy ny Synedriona rehetra nitady vavolombelona hiampanga an'i Jesosy hamonoany Azy, nefa tsy nahita.

⁵⁵And the chief priests and all the sanhedrim were seeking against Jesus testimony — to put him to death, and they were not finding,

⁵⁶Fa maro no niampanga lainga Azy, nefa tsy nifanaraka ny fiampangany.

⁵⁶for many were bearing false testimony against him, and their testimonies were not alike.

⁵⁷Ary nitsangana ny sasany, dia niampanga lainga Azy nanao hoe:

⁵⁷And certain having risen up, were bearing false testimony against him, saying —

⁵⁸Izahay efa nandre Azy nanao hoe: Izaho handrava ity tempoly nataon-tanana ity, ary amin'ny hateloana dia hanangana hafa izay tsy nataon-tanana Aho.

⁵⁸`We heard him saying — I will throw down this sanctuary made with hands, and by three days, another made without hands I will build;`

⁵⁹Fa tsy nifanaraka ny filàzany na dia tamin'izany aza.

⁵⁹and neither so was their testimony alike.

⁶⁰Ary ny mpisoronabe nitsangana nankeo afovoany, dia nanontany an'i Jesosy ka nanao hoe: Tsy mety mamaly akory va Hianao? Inona no iampangan'ireto Anao?

⁶⁰And the chief priest, having risen up in the midst, questioned Jesus, saying, `Thou dost not answer anything! what do these testify against thee?`

⁶¹Fa tsy niteny Jesosy sady tsy namaly akory. Dia nanontany Azy indray ny mpisoronabe ka nanao taminy hoe: Hianao va no Kristy, Zanaky ny Isaorana?

⁶¹and he was keeping silent, and did not answer anything. Again the chief priest was questioning him, and saith to him, `Art thou the Christ — the Son of the Blessed?`

⁶²Ary hoy Jesosy: Izaho no Izy; ary ho hitanareo ny Zanak'olona mipetraka eo ankavanan'ny Hery sady avy eo amin'ny rahon'ny lanitra.

⁶²and Jesus said, `I am; and ye shall see the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of the power, and coming with the clouds, of the heaven.`

⁶³Ary ny mpisoronabe nandriatra ny fitafiany ka nanao hoe: Ahoana no mbola ilantsika vavolombelona indray?

⁶³And the chief priest, having rent his garments, saith, `What need have we yet of witnesses?

⁶⁴Efa renareo ny fitenenany ratsy; ahoana no hevitrareo? Dia nataon'izy rehetra fa miendrika ho faty Izy.[Gr. blasfemia, izahao Mat. 9.3]

⁶⁴Ye heard the evil speaking, what appeareth to you?` and they all condemned him to be worthy of death,

⁶⁵Ary ny sasany nandrora Azy, dia nanarona ny tavany sady namely tahamaina Azy ka nanao hoe: Maminania; ary ny mpiandry raharaha namely tahamaina Azy koa.[Na. tehina]

⁶⁵and certain began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say to him, `Prophesy;` and the officers were striking him with their palms.

⁶⁶Ary raha nitoetra teo ambany teo an-kianja Petera, dia avy ny anankiray tamin'ny ankizivavin'ny mpisoronabe;

⁶⁶And Peter being in the hall beneath, there doth come one of the maids of the chief priest,

⁶⁷ary nony nahita an'i Petera namindro izy, dia nijery azy ka nanao hoe: Hianao koa nomba an'i Jesosy avy any Nazareta.

⁶⁷and having seen Peter warming himself, having looked on him, she said, `And thou wast with Jesus of Nazareth!`

⁶⁸Fa izy nandà ka nanao hoe: Tsy fantatro sy tsy azoko ny teninao. Dia niala ho eo am-bavahady izy, ary nisy akoho naneno.

⁶⁸and he denied, saying, `I have not known [him], neither do I understand what thou sayest;` and he went forth without to the porch, and a cock crew.

⁶⁹Ary ilay ankizivavy nahita azy indray, dia niteny tamin'izay teo anilany hoe: Io lehilahy io mba naman'ireny;

⁶⁹And the maid having seen him again, began to say to those standing near — `This is of them;`

⁷⁰fa izy nandà indray. Ary nony afaka kelikely, izay teo anilany koa dia nilaza tamin'i Petera hoe: Naman'ireo tokoa ianao; fa Galiliana ianao.

⁷⁰and he was again denying. And after a little again, those standing near said to Peter, `Truly thou art of them, for thou also art a Galilean, and thy speech is alike;`

⁷¹Dia niozona sy nianiana izy ka nanao hoe: Tsy fantatro izany Lehilahy lazainareo izany.Ary niaraka tamin'izay dia nisy akoho naneno fanindroany. Ary Petera nahatsiaro ny teny izay nolazain'i Jesosy taminy hoe: Raha tsy mbola misy akoho maneno fanindroany, dia handà Ahy intelo ianao. Ary nony nieritreritra izany izy, dia nitomany.

⁷¹and he began to anathematize, and to swear — `I have not known this man of whom ye speak;`

⁷²Ary niaraka tamin'izay dia nisy akoho naneno fanindroany. Ary Petera nahatsiaro ny teny izay nolazain'i Jesosy taminy hoe: Raha tsy mbola misy akoho maneno fanindroany, dia handà Ahy intelo ianao. Ary nony nieritreritra izany izy, dia nitomany.

⁷²and a second time a cock crew, and Peter remembered the saying that Jesus said to him — `Before a cock crow twice, thou mayest deny me thrice;` and having thought thereon — he was weeping.
