¹Ary niangona teo aminy ny Fariseo sy ny mpanora-dalàna sasany, izay avy tany Jerosalema

¹And gathered together unto him are the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, having come from Jerusalem,

²ka nahita ny mpianatra sasany fa nihinan-kanina tamin'ny tanana tsy madio, izany hoe, tsy voasasa.

²and having seen certain of his disciples with defiled hands — that is, unwashed — eating bread, they found fault;

³(Fa ny Fariseo sy ny Jiosy rehetra tsy mba mihinana, raha tsy efa manasa tsara ny tànany, satria mitàna ny fampianarana voatolotry ny razana izy.[Gr. sasàny amin'ny totohondry]

³for the Pharisees, and all the Jews, if they do not wash the hands to the wrist, do not eat, holding the tradition of the elders,

⁴Ary raha avy any an-tsena, dia tsy mihinana izy, raha tsy misasa aloha. Ary misy fomba maro koa izay noraisiny hotanana, dia ny manasa kapoaka sy famarana mbamin'izay fanaka varahina.) [ Gr. sekstaria] [ ampio hoe: ary farafara]

⁴and, [coming] from the market-place, if they do not baptize themselves, they do not eat; and many other things there are that they received to hold, baptisms of cups, and pots, and brazen vessels, and couches.

⁵Dia nanontany Azy ny Fariseo sy ny mpanora-dalàna hoe: Nahoana ny mpianatrao no tsy manaraka ny fampianarana voatolotry ny razana, fa mihinan-kanina amin'ny tanana tsy misasa izy?

⁵Then question him do the Pharisees and the scribes, `Wherefore do thy disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but with unwashed hands do eat the bread?`

⁶Fa Jesosy nanao taminy hoe: Marina ny naminanian'Isaia anareo mpihatsaravelatsihy, araka ny voasoratra hoe: Ity firenena ity manaja Ahy amin'ny molony, Fa ny fony kosa lavitra Ahy.

⁶and he answering said to them — `Well did Isaiah prophesy concerning you, hypocrites, as it hath been written, This people with the lips doth honor Me, and their heart is far from Me;

⁷Koa foana ny ivavahan'ireo amiko, Raha mampianatra ny didin'olombelona ho fampianarana izy. (Isa. 29. 13).

⁷and in vain do they worship Me, teaching teachings, commands of men;

⁸Mahafoy ny didin'Andriamanitra ianareo ka mitana ny fanaon'ny olona.

⁸for, having put away the command of God, ye hold the tradition of men, baptisms of pots and cups; and many other such like things ye do.`

⁹Ary hoy koa Izy taminy: Hay! tsara ny nahafoizanareo ny didin'Andriamanitra mba hitandremanareo ny fampianarana voatolotra anareo!

⁹And he said to them, `Well do ye put away the command of God that your tradition ye may keep;

¹⁰Fa hoy Mosesy: Manajà ny rainao sy ny reninao (Eks. 20. 12), ary koa: Izay miteny ratsy ny rainy sy ny reniny dia hatao maty tokoa (Eks. 21. 17).

¹⁰for Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, He who is speaking evil of father or mother — let him die the death;

¹¹Fa hoy kosa ianareo: Raha misy olona milaza amin'ny rainy na amin'ny reniny hoe: Efa korbana (izany hoe, fanatitra ho an'Andriamanitra) izay rehetra tokony hahazoanao soa avy amiko,

¹¹and ye say, If a man may say to father or to mother, Korban (that is, a gift), [is] whatever thou mayest be profited out of mine,

¹²dia tsy avelanareo hanao na inona na inona ho an'ny rainy sy ny reniny intsony izy,[Na: dia voafehin'ny voadiny izy. Ary dia etc]

¹²and no more do ye suffer him to do anything for his father or for his mother,

¹³ka dia foananareo ny tenin'Andriamanitra amin'ny fampianarana voatolotra anareo, izay nasainareo hotandremana; ary zavatra maro mifanahatahaka amin'izany koa no ataonareo.

¹³setting aside the word of God for your tradition that ye delivered; and many such like things ye do.`

¹⁴Ary niantso ny vahoaka hankeo aminy indray Izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Mihainoa Ahy ianareo rehetra, ka mahafantara.

¹⁴And having called near all the multitude, he said to them, `Hearken to me, ye all, and understand;

¹⁵Fa tsy ny zavatra avy eo ivelany izay miditra ao anatin'ny olona no mahaloto azy; fa izay mivoaka avy ao anatin'ny olona no mahaloto azy. [Ampio hoe:]

¹⁵there is nothing from without the man entering into him that is able to defile him, but the things coming out from him, those are the things defiling the man.

¹⁶[Raha misy manan-tsofina ho enti-mihaino, aoka izy hihaino]

¹⁶If any hath ears to hear — let him hear.`

¹⁷Ary rehefa niala teo amin'ny vahoaka Izy ka niditra tao an-trano, dia nanontany Azy ny mpianany ny amin'izany fanoharana izany.

¹⁷And when he entered into a house from the multitude, his disciples were questioning him about the simile,

¹⁸Ary hoy Izy taminy: Hay! ianareo koa aza mba tsy mahafantatra! Tsy fantatrareo va fa izay rehetra eo ivelan'ny olona ka miditra ao anatiny dia tsy mahaloto azy,

¹⁸and he saith to them, `So also ye are without understanding! Do ye not perceive that nothing from without entering into the man is able to defile him?

¹⁹satria tsy miditra ao am-pony izany, fa ao an-kibony ihany, ka dia mivoaka ao amin'ny fivoahana; izany no nolazainy mba hahadio ny hanina rehetra.

¹⁹because it doth not enter into his heart, but into the belly, and into the drain it doth go out, purifying all the meats.`

²⁰Ary hoy Izy: Izay mivoaka avy ao amin'ny olona, dia izany no mahaloto azy.

²⁰And he said — `That which is coming out from the man, that doth defile the man;

²¹Fa avy ao anatin'ny olona dia avy ao am-pony, no ivoahan'ny sain-dratsy, dia ny fijangajangana, ny halatra, ny vonoan-olona, ny fakam-badin'olona,

²¹for from within, out of the heart of men, the evil reasonings do come forth, adulteries, whoredoms, murders,

²²ny fieremana, ny lolom-po, ny fitaka, ny fijejojejoana, ny maso ratsy, ny fitenenan-dratsy, ny avonavona, ny fahadalana:[Gr. blasfemia; izahao Mat. 9. 3]

²²thefts, covetous desires, wickedness, deceit, arrogance, an evil eye, evil speaking, pride, foolishness;

²³izany zava-dratsy rehetra izany no mivoaka avy ao anatin'ny olona ka mahaloto azy.

²³all these evils do come forth from within, and they defile the man.`

²⁴Ary niala teo Jesosy ka lasa nankany amin'ny sisin-tanin'i Tyro sy Sidona; dia niditra tao an-trano Izy, ary tiany tsy ho fantatry ny olona izany; kanefa tsy nahazo niery Izy.

²⁴And from thence having risen, he went away to the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and having entered into the house, he wished none to know, and he was not able to be hid,

²⁵Fa niaraka tamin'izay dia nisy vehivavy anankiray nandre ny aminy (ny zananivavy tanora dia azom-panahy maloto), dia nankao ka niankohoka tamin'ny tongony.

²⁵for a woman having heard about him, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having come, fell at his feet, —

²⁶Ary jentilisa ravehivavy, avy amin'ny firenena Syro-foinika; dia nangataka taminy izy mba hamoaka ny demonia amin'ny zananivavy.

²⁶and the woman was a Greek, a Syro-Phenician by nation — and was asking him, that the demon he may cast forth out of her daughter.

²⁷Fa hoy Jesosy taminy: Aoka ho voky aloha ny zaza; fa tsy mety raha maka ny mofon-jaza ka manipy azy ho an'ny amboakely.

²⁷And Jesus said to her, `Suffer first the children to be filled, for it is not good to take the children`s bread, and to cast [it] to the little dogs.`

²⁸Fa ravehivavy namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Eny, Tompoko; kanefa na dia ny amboakely ao ambanin'ny latabatra aza dia mba mihinana ny sombintsombin'ny mofon-jaza ihany.

²⁸And she answered and saith to him, `Yes, sir; for the little dogs also under the table do eat of the children`s crumbs.`

²⁹Dia hoy Jesosy taminy: Noho izany teny izany mandehana ianao; efa nivoaka tamin'ny zanakao-vavy ny demonia.

²⁹And he said to her, `Because of this word go; the demon hath gone forth out of thy daughter;`

³⁰Ary raha tonga tao an-tranony ravehivavy, dia hitany nandry teo ambonin'ny farafara ny zananivavy, ary ny demonia efa nivoaka taminy.

³⁰and having come away to her house, she found the demon gone forth, and the daughter laid upon the couch.

³¹Ary Jesosy niala indray tamin'ny sisin-tanin'i Tyro, dia namaky an'i Sidona sy ny tany Dekapolisy ka nankany amoron'ny Ranomasin'i Galilia.

³¹And again, having gone forth from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, he came unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis,

³²Ary nisy marenina sady raiki-dela anankiray nentiny tany aminy, ka nangataka taminy ireo mba hametrahany tanana.

³²and they bring to him a deaf, stuttering man, and they call on him that he may put the hand on him.

³³Ary nitondra an-dralehilahy nitanila niala teo amin'ny vahoaka Izy, dia nangarona ny sofiny tamin'ny rantsan-tànany, dia nandrora ka nanendry ny lelany;

³³And having taken him away from the multitude by himself, he put his fingers to his ears, and having spit, he touched his tongue,

³⁴ary niandrandra ny lanitra Izy, dia nisento ka nanao taminy hoe: Efata, izany hoe: Maladia.

³⁴and having looked to the heaven, he sighed, and saith to him, `Ephphatha,` that is, `Be thou opened;`

³⁵Dia nalady ny sofiny, sady voavaha ny fatoran'ny lelany, ka dia nahateny tsara izy.

³⁵and immediately were his ears opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he was speaking plain.

³⁶Ary nandrara ny olona teo Jesosy mba tsy hilazalaza na amin'iza na amin'iza; fa na dia norarany aza izy, dia vao mainka nampiely izany bebe kokoa.Dia talanjona indrindra ny olona ka nanao hoe: Tsara ny nanaovany ny zavatra rehetra; fa sady mampahalady ny marenina Izy no mampiteny ny moana.

³⁶And he charged them that they may tell no one, but the more he was charging them, the more abundantly they were proclaiming [it],

³⁷Dia talanjona indrindra ny olona ka nanao hoe: Tsara ny nanaovany ny zavatra rehetra; fa sady mampahalady ny marenina Izy no mampiteny ny moana.

³⁷and they were being beyond measure astonished, saying, `Well hath he done all things; both the deaf he doth make to hear, and the dumb to speak.`
