¹Ary niala teo Izy ka tonga tany amin'ny taniny, sady nanaraka Azy ny mpianany.

¹And he went forth thence, and came to his own country, and his disciples do follow him,

²Ary rehefa tonga ny Sabata, dia nampianatra tao amin'ny synagoga Izy; ary maro izay nihaino Azy dia talanjona indrindra ka nanao hoe: Taiza no nahazoan'ilehity izany zavatra izany, ary manao ahoana ny fahendrena nomena Azy sy izao asa lehibe ataon'ny tànany izao?

²and sabbath having come, he began in the synagogue to teach, and many hearing were astonished, saying, `Whence hath this one these things? and what the wisdom that was given to him, that also such mighty works through his hands are done?

³Tsy ilay mpandrafitra, zanak'i Maria, ary rahalahin'i Jakoba sy Josesy sy Jodasy sy Simona va Ilehity? Ary tsy etỳ amintsika va ireo anabaviny? Dia tafintohina taminy izy.

³Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James, and Joses, and Judas, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us?` — and they were being stumbled at him.

⁴Fa ho Jesosy taminy: Tsy misy mpaminany tsy hajaina afa-tsy eo amin'ny taniny sy ny havany ary ny ankohonany ihany.

⁴And Jesus said to them — `A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and among his kindred, and in his own house;`

⁵Ary tsy nahazo nampiseho hery akory Izy teo, afa-tsy ny nametraka ny tànany tamin'ny olona marary vitsy foana ka nahasitrana azy.

⁵and he was not able there any mighty work to do, except on a few infirm people having put hands he did heal [them];

⁶Ary gaga Izy noho ny tsi-finoany. Dia nitety ny vohitra manodidina Izy ka nampianatra.

⁶and he wondered because of their unbelief. And he was going round the villages, in a circle, teaching,

⁷Ary niantso ny roa ambin'ny folo lahy hankeo aminy Izy ka naniraka azy tsiroaroa sy nanome azy fahefana hamoaka fanahy maloto.

⁷and he doth call near the twelve, and he began to send them forth two by two, and he was giving them power over the unclean spirits,

⁸Ary nandrara azy Izy mba tsy hitondra zavatra ho any amin'ny halehany, na hanina, na kitapo, na vola ao amin'ny fehin-kibony, afa-tsy tehina ihany.[Gr. varahina]

⁸and he commanded them that they may take nothing for the way, except a staff only — no scrip, no bread, no brass in the girdle,

⁹Fa asio kapa ny tongotrareo; ary aza mitondra akanjo roa.

⁹but having been shod with sandals, and ye may not put on two coats.

¹⁰Ary hoy koa Izy taminy: Izay trano hidiranareo, dia mitoera ao mandra-pialanareo any.

¹⁰And he said to them, `Whenever ye may enter into a house, there remain till ye may depart thence,

¹¹Ary izay tanàna tsy hampandroso anareo, na tsy hihaino anareo, raha miala ianareo, dia ahintsano ny vovoka ao am-paladianareo ho vavolombelona aminy.

¹¹and as many as may not receive you, nor hear you, going out thence, shake off the dust that is under your feet for a testimony to them; verily I say to you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom or Gomorrah in a day of judgment than for that city.`

¹²Dia lasa nandeha izy ireo ka nitory fa tokony hibebaka ny olona.

¹²And having gone forth they were preaching that [men] might reform,

¹³Ary demonia maro no navoakany; ary nohosorany diloilo ny marary maro ka nositraniny.

¹³and many demons they were casting out, and they were anointing with oil many infirm, and they were healing [them].

¹⁴Ary nahare izany Heroda mpanjaka (fa efa nalaza ny anaran'i Jesosy), dia hoy izy: Jaona Mpanao-batisa efa nitsangana tamin'ny maty izay, ka izany no ananany hery hanao ireo asa lehibe ireo.

¹⁴And the king Herod heard, (for his name became public,) and he said — `John the Baptist out of the dead was raised, and because of this the mighty powers are working in him.`

¹⁵Fa hoy ny sasany: Elia Izy; ary hoy ny sasany: Mpaminany Izy dia toy ny anankiray amin'ny mpaminany.

¹⁵Others said — `It is Elijah,` and others said — `It is a prophet, or as one of the prophets.`

¹⁶Ary rehefa nahare izany Heroda, dia hoy izy: Jaona izay, ilay notapahiko ny lohany; efa nitsangana izy.

¹⁶And Herod having heard, said — `He whom I did behead — John — this is he; he was raised out of the dead.`

¹⁷Fa Heroda ihany no naniraka sy nisambotra an'i Jaona ka namatotra azy tao an-tranomaizina noho ny amin'i Herodiasy vadin'i Filipo rahalahiny; fa nanambady azy izy.

¹⁷For Herod himself, having sent forth, did lay hold on John, and bound him in the prison, because of Herodias the wife of Philip his brother, because he married her,

¹⁸Fa Jaona efa nilaza tamin'i Heroda hoe: Diso ianao, raha manambady ny vadin'ny rahalahinao.

¹⁸for John said to Herod — `It is not lawful to thee to have the wife of thy brother;`

¹⁹Ary Herodiasy dia nanao otri-po taminy ka naniry hahafaty azy, nefa tsy nahazo.

¹⁹and Herodias was having a quarrel with him, and was willing to kill him, and was not able,

²⁰Fa Heroda natahotra an'i Jaona, satria fantany fa lehilahy marina sy masina izy, ka dia niaro azy izy; ary rehefa nandre azy izy, dia very hevitra be ihany; ary nihaino azy tamin'ny hafaliana izy.[Na: nanao zavatra maro]

²⁰for Herod was fearing John, knowing him a man righteous and holy, and was keeping watch over him, and having heard him, was doing many things, and hearing him gladly.

²¹Ary rehefa tonga izay andro antonona, dia ilay nanaovan'i Heroda fanasana ho an'ny lehibe sy ny mpifehy arivo ary ny loholona tany Galilia tamin'ny andro fahatsiarovana ny nahaterahany,[Na: tamin'ny fitsingerenan'ny taona]

²¹And a seasonable day having come, when Herod on his birthday was making a supper to his great men, and to the chiefs of thousands, and to the first men of Galilee,

²²ka niditra ny zanakavavin'i Herodiasy ary nandihy ka nahafaly an'i Heroda mbamin'izay niara-nipetraka nihinana teo aminy, dia hoy ny mpanjaka tamin-drazazavavy: Angataho amiko izay tianao na inona na inona, dia homeko anao.

²²and the daughter of that Herodias having come in, and having danced, and having pleased Herod and those reclining (at meat) with him, the king said to the damsel, `Ask of me whatever thou wilt, and I will give to thee,`

²³Ary nianiana taminy hoe izy: Na inona na inona hangatahinao amiko dia homeko anao na dia hatramin'ny antsasaky ny fanjakako aza.

²³and he sware to her — `Whatever thou mayest ask me, I will give to thee — unto the half of my kingdom.`

²⁴Dia nivoaka razazavavy ka nanao tamin-dreniny hoe: Inona no hangatahiko? Ary hoy reniny: Ny lohan'i Jaona Mpanao-batisa.

²⁴And she, having gone forth, said to her mother, `What shall I ask for myself?` and she said, `The head of John the Baptist;`

²⁵Dia niditra faingana niaraka tamin'izay izy ho ao amin'ny mpanjaka ka nangataka hoe: Tiako raha homenao ahy faingana eto an-dovia ny lohan'i Jaona Mpanao-batisa.

²⁵and having come in immediately with haste unto the king, she asked, saying, `I will that thou mayest give me presently, upon a plate, the head of John the Baptist.`

²⁶Dia nalahelo indrindra ny mpanjaka, kanefa noho ny fianianany sy ny olona izay nipetraka nihinana teo, dia tsy sahy nandà azy izy.

²⁶And the king — made very sorrowful — because of the oaths and of those reclining (at meat) with him, would not put her away,

²⁷Ary niaraka tamin'izay ny mpanjaka dia naniraka mpiambina, ka nasainy nentiny ny lohan'i Jaona. Ary dia nandeha izy, ka notapahiny tao an-tranomaizina ny lohany.

²⁷and immediately the king having sent a guardsman, did command his head to be brought,

²⁸Dia nentiny teo an-dovia ny lohany ka nomeny an-drazazavavy; ary razazavavy kosa dia nanome azy an-dreniny.

²⁸and he having gone, beheaded him in the prison, and brought his head upon a plate, and did give it to the damsel, and the damsel did give it to her mother;

²⁹Ary rehefa nandre izany ny mpianany, dia tonga ka naka ny faty ary nandevina azy.

²⁹and having heard, his disciples came and took up his corpse, and laid it in the tomb.

³⁰Ary ny Apostoly niangona teo amin'i Jesosy ka nilaza taminy izay rehetra efa nataony mbamin'izay nampianariny.

³⁰And the apostles are gathered together unto Jesus, and they told him all, and how many things they did, and how many things they taught,

³¹Ary hoy Jesosy taminy: Avia ianareo hitokana any an-tany foana, ka mialà sasatra kelikely (fa maro no nifamoivoy, ka tsy nisy hihinanana aza).

³¹and he said to them, `Come ye yourselves apart to a desert place, and rest a little,` for those coming and those going were many, and not even to eat had they opportunity,

³²Dia nandeha an-tsambokely izy hitokana any an-tany foana.

³²and they went away to a desert place, in the boat, by themselves.

³³Ary ny olona nahita azy mandeha, sady betsaka no nahalala an'i Jesosy, dia niala avy teny amin'ny tanàna rehetra ny olona ka nihazakazaka nandeha an-tanety, dia tonga talohany.[Na: nandeha tongotra]

³³And the multitudes saw them going away, and many recognised him, and by land from all the cities they ran thither, and went before them, and came together to him,

³⁴Ary nony niala Jesosy, dia nahita vahoaka betsaka Izy ka onena azy, fa tahaka ny ondry tsy manana mpiandry ireo; dia nampianatra azy zavatra maro Izy.

³⁴and having come forth, Jesus saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion on them, that they were as sheep not having a shepherd, and he began to teach many things.

³⁵Ary rehefa hariva ny andro, dia nanatona Azy ny mpianany ka nanao hoe: Tany foana ity, ka efa hariva ny andro ankehitriny;

³⁵And now the hour being advanced, his disciples having come near to him, say, — `The place is desolate, and the hour is now advanced,

³⁶ravao ny olona mba hankanesany eny an-tsaha sy eny amin'ny vohitra manodidina hividy hanina ho azy.

³⁶let them away, that, having gone away to the surrounding fields and villages, they may buy to themselves loaves, for what they may eat they have not.`

³⁷Fa Izy namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Omeonareo hanina izy. Fa hoy kosa izy ireo taminy: Handeha hividy mofo izay azon'ny denaria roan-jato va izahay, ka homenay azy hohaniny?

³⁷And he answering said to them, `Give ye them to eat,` and they say to him, `Having gone away, may we buy two hundred denaries` worth of loaves, and give to them to eat?`

³⁸Fa hoy Izy taminy: Misy mofo firy any aminareo? Andeha, izahao. Ary rehefa fantany, dia hoy izy: Dimy sy hazandrano roa.

³⁸And he saith to them, `How many loaves have ye? go and see;` and having known, they say, `Five, and two fishes.`

³⁹Dia nasain'i Jesosy nampipetraka ny olona rehetra hatao an-tokotokony eny ambonin'ny ahi-maitso izy.

³⁹And he commanded them to make all recline in companies upon the green grass,

⁴⁰Dia nipetraka an-tokony zato sy dimam-polo avy ny olona.

⁴⁰and they sat down in squares, by hundreds, and by fifties.

⁴¹Ary rehefa voarain'i Jesosy ny mofo dimy sy ny hazandrano roa, dia niandrandra ny lanitra Izy ka nisaotra, dia novakiny ny mofo ka natolony ny mpianatra mba harosony eny anoloan'ny olona; ary ny hazandrano roa nozarainy tamin'ny olona rehetra.

⁴¹And having taken the five loaves and the two fishes, having looked up to the heaven, he blessed, and brake the loaves, and was giving to his disciples, that they may set before them, and the two fishes divided he to all,

⁴²Ary samy nihinana avokoa ny olona rehetra ka voky.

⁴²and they did all eat, and were filled,

⁴³Ary nangoniny izay sombintsombin'ny mofo sy ny hazandrano, ka dia nahafeno harona roa ambin'ny folo.

⁴³and they took up of broken pieces twelve hand-baskets full, and of the fishes,

⁴⁴Ary izay nihinana ny mofo dia dimy arivo lahy.

⁴⁴and those eating of the loaves were about five thousand men.

⁴⁵Ary niaraka tamin'izay Jesosy dia nanery ny mpianany hiondrana an-tsambokely hita hialoha ho any Betsaida, mandra-pandràvany ny vahoaka.

⁴⁵And immediately he constrained his disciples to go into the boat, and to go before to the other side, unto Bethsaida, till he may let the multitude away,

⁴⁶Ary rehefa nanao veloma ny olona Izy, dia lasa nankany an-tendrombohitra hivavaka.

⁴⁶and having taken leave of them, he went away to the mountain to pray.

⁴⁷Ary nony hariva ny andro, dia efa mby teo ampovoan'ny ranomasina ny sambokely, ary Izy irery ihany no teo an-tanety.

⁴⁷And evening having come, the boat was in the midst of the sea, and he alone upon the land;

⁴⁸Ary nahita azy ireo sahirana nivoy fatratra Izy, fa notohain'ny rivotra: ary tokony ho tamin'ny fiambenana fahefatra amin'ny alina dia nankeny aminy nitsangantsangana tambonin'ny ranomasina Jesosy ka nikasa handalo azy.

⁴⁸and he saw them harassed in the rowing, for the wind was against them, and about the fourth watch of the night he doth come to them walking on the sea, and wished to pass by them.

⁴⁹Ary rehefa hitany nitsangantsangana tambonin'ny ranomasina Izy, dia nataony ho matoatoa, ka niantso mafy izy ireo.

⁴⁹And they having seen him walking on the sea, thought [it] to be an apparition, and cried out,

⁵⁰Fa izy rehetra samy nahita Azy avokoa, ka dia raiki-tahotra. Ary Izy niteny taminy niaraka tamin'izay ka nanao taminy hoe: Matokia, fa Izaho ihany; aza matahotra.

⁵⁰for they all saw him, and were troubled, and immediately he spake with them, and saith to them, `Take courage, I am [he], be not afraid.`

⁵¹Ary niakatra nankeo aminy teo an-tsambokely Izy; dia nitsahatra ny rivotra, ka dia talanjona izy ireo.

⁵¹And he went up unto them to the boat, and the wind lulled, and greatly out of measure were they amazed in themselves, and were wondering,

⁵²Ary tsy fantany ny amin'ny mofo; fa efa mafy ny fony.

⁵²for they understood not concerning the loaves, for their heart hath been hard.

⁵³Ary nony tafita izy, dia tonga teo amin'ny tany Genesareta ka niantsona teo.

⁵³And having passed over, they came upon the land of Gennesaret, and drew to the shore,

⁵⁴Ary raha niala teo an-tsambokely izy, dia nahalala an'i Jesosy niaraka tamin'izay ny olona teo

⁵⁴and they having come forth out of the boat, immediately having recognised him,

⁵⁵ka nihazakazaka tamin'izany tany rehetra izany ary nitondra ny marary tamin'ny fandriana ho any amin'izay reny fa nitoerany.Ary na taiza na taiza no nidiran'i Jesosy, na tao amin'ny vohitra, na tao an-tanàna, na tany an-tsaha, dia napetraka teo an-kianja ny marary, ary ny olona nangataka hanendry na dia ny somotraviavin-dambany ihany aza; ary sitrana izay rehetra nanendry Azy.[Gr. voavonjy]

⁵⁵having run about through all that region round about, they began upon the couches to carry about those ill, where they were hearing that he is,

⁵⁶Ary na taiza na taiza no nidiran'i Jesosy, na tao amin'ny vohitra, na tao an-tanàna, na tany an-tsaha, dia napetraka teo an-kianja ny marary, ary ny olona nangataka hanendry na dia ny somotraviavin-dambany ihany aza; ary sitrana izay rehetra nanendry Azy.[Gr. voavonjy]

⁵⁶and wherever he was going, to villages, or cities, or fields, in the market-places they were laying the infirm, and were calling upon him, that they may touch if it were but the fringe of his garment, and as many as were touching him were saved.
