¹Ary nony niditra tao Kapernaomy indray Izy, rehefa afaka andro vitsivitsy, dia re fa tao an-trano Izy,

¹And again he entered into Capernaum, after [some] days, and it was heard that he is in the house,

²ka dia tafangona ny maro, ka tsy nisy hitoerana intsony, na dia teny anoloan'ny varavarana aza; ary Izy nitory ny teny taminy.

²and immediately many were gathered together, so that there was no more room, not even at the door, and he was speaking to them the word.

³Ary nisy nanatona nitondra ny anankiray mararin'ny paralysisa ho eo aminy, izay nolanjain'efa-dahy.

³And they come unto him, bringing a paralytic, borne by four,

⁴Ary satria tsy afaka nanakaiky Azy izy noho ny habetsahan'ny vahoaka, dia nanesorany ny tafon'ny trano nitoeran'i Jesosy, ka nony efa voasokatra, dia nampidininy teo ny fandriana izay nandrian'ilay nararin'ny paralysisa.

⁴and not being able to come near to him because of the multitude, they uncovered the roof where he was, and, having broken [it] up, they let down the couch on which the paralytic was lying,

⁵Ary Jesosy, nony nahita ny finoan'ireo, dia nanao tamin'ilay mararin'ny paralysisa hoe: Anaka, voavela ny helokao.

⁵and Jesus having seen their faith, saith to the paralytic, `Child, thy sins have been forgiven thee.`

⁶Ary nisy mpanora-dalàna sasany nipetraka teo ka nieritreritra tao am-pony hoe:

⁶And there were certain of the scribes there sitting, and reasoning in their hearts,

⁷Nahoana Ilehity no miteny toy izany? Miteny ratsy Izy. Iza no mahavela heloka afa-tsy Iray ihany, dia Andriamanitra? [Gr. manao blasfemia, izahao Mat.9.3]

⁷`Why doth this one thus speak evil words? who is able to forgive sins except one — God?`

⁸Ary niaraka tamin'izay Jesosy dia nahalala tao am-panahiny fa nieritreritra izany tao am-pony ireo, dia hoy Izy taminy: Nahoana ianareo no mieritreritra izany zavatra izany ao am-ponareo?

⁸And immediately Jesus, having known in his spirit that they thus reason in themselves, said to them, `Why these things reason ye in your hearts?

⁹Iza moa no moramora kokoa, ny manao amin'ilay mararin'ny paralysisa hoe: Voavela ny helokao, sa ny manao hoe: Mitsangàna, betao ny fandrianao, ka mandehana?

⁹which is easier, to say to the paralytic, The sins have been forgiven to thee? or to say, Rise, and take up thy couch, and walk?

¹⁰Fa mba ho fantatrareo fa ny Zanak'olona manana fahefana etỳ ambonin'ny tany hamela heloka, dia lazaiko aminao (hoy Izy tamin'ilay mararin'ny paralysisa):

¹⁰`And, that ye may know that the Son of Man hath authority on the earth to forgive sins — (he saith to the paralytic) —

¹¹Mitsangàna, betao ny fandrianao, ka modia any an-tranonao.

¹¹I say to thee, Rise, and take up thy couch, and go away to thy house;`

¹²Dia nitsangana izy ka nambeta ny fandriany niaraka tamin'izay ary niala teo anatrehan'ny olona rehetra; dia talanjona izy rehetra ka nankalaza an'Andriamanitra nanao hoe: Tsy mbola nahita izay toy izao izahay.

¹²and he rose immediately, and having taken up the couch, he went forth before all, so that all were astonished, and do glorify God, saying — `Never thus did we see.`

¹³Ary lasa nandeha teny amoron-dranomasina indray Jesosy; ary ny vahoaka rehetra nanatona Azy, ka dia nampianatra azy Izy.

¹³And he went forth again by the sea, and all the multitude was coming unto him, and he was teaching them,

¹⁴Ary nony nandalo Izy, dia nahita an'i Levy, zanak'i Alfeo, nipetraka teo am-pamorian-ketra; ka hoy Izy taminy: Manaraha Ahy. Dia nitsangana izy ka nanaraka Azy.[Izahao Mat. 9.9]

¹⁴and passing by, he saw Levi of Alpheus sitting at the tax-office, and saith to him, `Be following me,` and he, having risen, did follow him.

¹⁵Ary raha nipetraka nihinana tao an-tranony Izy, dia maro ny mpamory hetra sy ny mpanota no niara-nipetraka nihinana tamin'i Jesosy mbamin'ny mpianany; fa nisy maro tao, dia nanaraka Azy izy.

¹⁵And it came to pass, in his reclining (at meat) in his house, that many tax-gatherers and sinners were reclining (at meat) with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many, and they followed him.

¹⁶Ary ny mpanora-dalàna, izay isan'ny Fariseo, raha nahita fa niara-nipetraka nihinana tamin'ny mpanota sy ny mpamory hetra Izy, dia niteny tamin'ny mpianatra hoe: Miara-mihinana sy misotro amin'ny mpamory hetra sy ny mpanota Izy![Na:Ary ny Mpanora-dalàna sy ny Fariseo]

¹⁶And the scribes and the Pharisees, having seen him eating with the tax-gatherers and sinners, said to his disciples, `Why — that with the tax-gatherers and sinners he doth eat and drink?`

¹⁷Ary raha nahare izany Jesosy, dia nanao taminy hoe: Tsy ny finaritra no mila mpanao fanafody, fa ny marary; tsy tonga hiantso ny marina Aho, fa ny mpanota

¹⁷And Jesus, having heard, saith to them, `They who are strong have no need of a physician, but they who are ill; I came not to call righteous men, but sinners to reformation.`

¹⁸Ary ny mpianatr'i Jaona sy ny Fariseo nifady hanina tamin'izany; dia avy izy ka nanao tamin'i Jesosy hoe: Nahoana ny mpianatr'i Jaona sy ny mpianatry ny Fariseo no mifady hanina, fa ny mpianatrao kosa tsy mba mifady?

¹⁸And the disciples of John and those of the Pharisees were fasting, and they come and say to him, `Wherefore do the disciples of John and those of the Pharisees fast, and thy disciples do not fast?`

¹⁹Ary Jesosy niteny taminy hoe: Mahay mifady va ny havan'ny mpampakatra raha mbola ao aminy ihany ny mpampakatra? Raha mbola ao aminy ihany ny mpampakatra dia tsy mahay mifady izy.

¹⁹And Jesus said to them, `Are the sons of the bride-chamber able, while the bridegroom is with them, to fast? so long time as they have the bridegroom with them they are not able to fast;

²⁰Fa ho avy andro izay hanalana ny mpampakatra hiala ao aminy, ka amin'izany andro izany hifady izy.

²⁰but days shall come when the bridegroom may be taken from them, and then they shall fast — in those days.

²¹Tsy misy olona manjaitra tapa-damba tsy mbola voalòna amin'ny lamba tonta; fa raha izany, ny vaovao izay natampina dia handrompitra ny tonta, ka hitatra ny triatra.

²¹`And no one a patch of undressed cloth doth sew on an old garment, and if not — the new filling it up doth take from the old and the rent doth become worse;

²²Ary tsy misy olona manisy divay vaovao ao anaty siny hoditra tonta. fa raha izany, ny divay dia hahatriatra ny siny hoditra, ka dia samy ho very foana ny divay sy ny siny hoditra; fa divay vaovao no ho ao anaty siny hoditra vaovao.

²²and no one doth put new wine into old skins, and if not — the new wine doth burst the skins, and the wine is poured out, and the skins will be destroyed; but new wine into new skins is to be put.`

²³Ary nandeha namaky ny tanim-bary tamin'ny Sabata Jesosy; ary ny mpianatra dia nanoty ny salohim-bary teny am-pandehanana.

²³And it came to pass — he is going along on the sabbaths through the corn-fields — and his disciples began to make a way, plucking the ears,

²⁴Ary ny Fariseo nanao taminy hoe: Indro, nahoana ireo no manao izay tsy mety amin'ny Sabata?

²⁴and the Pharisees said to him, `Lo, why do they on the sabbaths that which is not lawful?`

²⁵Fa hoy Izy taminy: Tsy mbola novakinareo va ny teny milaza ilay nataon'i Davida, raha reraky ny hanoanana izy mbamin'izay nanaraka azy,

²⁵And he said to them, `Did ye never read what David did, when he had need and was hungry, he and those with him?

²⁶fa niditra tao an-tranon'Andriamanitra tamin'ny andron'i Abiatara mpisoronabe izy ka nihinana ny mofo aseho, izay mahadiso raha misy homana izany, afa-tsy ny mpisorona ihany, ary nomeny koa izay nanaraka azy?

²⁶how he went into the house of God, (at `Abiathar the chief priest,`) and the loaves of the presentation did eat, which it is not lawful to eat, except to the priests, and he gave also to those who were with him?`

²⁷Ary hoy Izy taminy: Ny Sabata no natao ho ny olona, fa tsy ny olona ho an'ny Sabata.ka dia Tompon'ny Sabata aza ny Zanak'olona.

²⁷And he said to them, `The sabbath for man was made, not man for the sabbath,

²⁸ka dia Tompon'ny Sabata aza ny Zanak'olona.

²⁸so that the son of man is lord also of the sabbath.`
