¹Tamin'izany andro izany, nony betsaka indray ny vahoaka teo sady tsy nanan-kohanina izy, dia nantsoin'i Jesosy hanatona Azy ny mpianany ka nilazany hoe:

¹In those days the multitude being very great, and not having what they may eat, Jesus having called near his disciples, saith to them,

²Mahonena Ahy ireo vahoaka, fa hateloana izay no nitoerany tatỳ amiko, sady tsy manan-kohanina izy;

²`I have compassion upon the multitude, because now three days they do continue with me, and they have not what they may eat;

³koa raha hampodiko ho any an-tranony mbola tsy nihinana izy, dia ho reraka eny an-dalana, sady avy lavitra ny sasany.

³and if I shall let them away fasting to their home, they will faint in the way, for certain of them are come from far.`

⁴Fa ny mpianany namaly Azy hoe: Aiza no hahazoana mofo atỳ an-efitra hahavoky ireto olona ireto!

⁴And his disciples answered him, `Whence shall any one be able these here to feed with bread in a wilderness?`

⁵Ary izy nanontany azy hoe: Misy mofo firy any aminareo? Ary hoy ireo: Fito.

⁵And he was questioning them, `How many loaves have ye?` and they said, `Seven.`

⁶Dia nasainy nipetraka tamin'ny tany ny vahoaka; ary dia nandray ny mofo fito Izy, ka rehefa nisaotra, dia novakiny ka natolony ny mpianany mba harosony; dia narosony teny anoloan'ny vahoaka izany.

⁶And he commanded the multitude to sit down upon the ground, and having taken the seven loaves, having given thanks, he brake, and was giving to his disciples that they may set before [them]; and they did set before the multitude.

⁷Ary nisy hazandrano madinika vitsy tao aminy; ka rehefa nanaovan'i Jesosy fisaorana ireo, dia nasainy naroso teny anoloany koa.

⁷And they had a few small fishes, and having blessed, he said to set them also before [them];

⁸Ary nihinana ny olona, ka dia voky; ary nangoniny ny sombintsombiny sisa tsy lany, ka nisy fito sobiky.

⁸and they did eat and were filled, and they took up that which was over of broken pieces — seven baskets;

⁹Ary tokony ho efatra arivo ireo. Dia nampodiny izy.

⁹and those eating were about four thousand. And he let them away,

¹⁰Ary niaraka tamin'izay dia niondrana an-tsambokely Izy mbamin'ny mpianany ka tonga tany amin'ny fari-tanin'i Dalmanota.

¹⁰and immediately having entered into the boat with his disciples, he came to the parts of Dalmanutha,

¹¹Ary ny Fariseo nankany, dia niady hevitra taminy ary naka fanahy Azy ka nitady famantarana avy any an-danitra.

¹¹and the Pharisees came forth, and began to dispute with him, seeking from him a sign from the heaven, tempting him;

¹²Ary nisento mafy am-panahy Jesosy ka nanao hoe: Nahoana ity taranaka ity no mitady famantarana? Lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa fa tsy homena famantarana akory ity taranaka ity.

¹²and having sighed deeply in his spirit, he saith, `Why doth this generation seek after a sign? Verily I say to you, no sign shall be given to this generation.`

¹³Ary nandao azy Izy, dia niondrana indray ka lasa nankeny am-pita.

¹³And having left them, having entered again into the boat, he went away to the other side;

¹⁴Ary tsy tsaroan'ireo ny hitondra mofo, ka tsy nisy teo an-tsambokely afa-tsy mofo iray ihany.

¹⁴and they forgot to take loaves, and except one loaf they had nothing with them in the boat,

¹⁵Dia nananatra azy Izy ka nanao hoe: Mihevera, ka mitandrema ianareo, fandrao azon'ny masirasiran'ny Fariseo sy ny masirasiran'i Heroda.

¹⁵and he was charging them, saying, `Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod,`

¹⁶Ary niara-nisaina izy ka nanao hoe: Ny tsy nitondrantsika mofo angaha izany.

¹⁶and they were reasoning with one another, saying — `Because we have no loaves.`

¹⁷Ary Jesosy nahalala izany, dia nanao taminy hoe: Nahoana ianareo no miara-misaina, satria tsy manana mofo? Tsy mbola mahazo an-tsaina na mahafantatra va ianareo? Efa mafy va ny fonareo?

¹⁷And Jesus having known, saith to them, `Why do ye reason, because ye have no loaves? do ye not yet perceive, nor understand, yet have ye your heart hardened?

¹⁸Mana-maso, fa tsy mahita va ianareo? Ary manan-tsofina, fa tsy mandre va ianareo? Ary tsy mahatadidy va ianareo?

¹⁸Having eyes, do ye not see? and having ears, do ye not hear? and do ye not remember?

¹⁹Raha ny mofo dimy no novakiko ho an'ny dimy arivo, firy harona moa no sombintsombiny nangoninareo? Hoy ny mpianany taminy: Roa ambin'ny folo.

¹⁹When the five loaves I did brake to the five thousand, how many hand-baskets full of broken pieces took ye up?` they say to him, `Twelve.`

²⁰Ary raha ny mofo fito ho an'ny efatra arivo, firy sobiky moa no sombintsombiny nangoninareo? Dia hoy ny mpianany: Fito.

²⁰`And when the seven to the four thousand, how many hand-baskets full of broken pieces took ye up?` and they said, `Seven.`

²¹Ary hoy Izy taminy: Mbola tsy mahafantatra ihany va ianareo?

²¹And he said to them, `How do ye not understand?`

²²Ary tonga tany Betsaida izy; ary nisy nitondra lehilahy jamba teo amin'i Jesosy ka nangataka taminy hanendry ilay jamba.

²²And he cometh to Bethsaida, and they bring to him one blind, and call upon him that he may touch him,

²³Ary nitantana ilay jamba Izy ka nitondra azy teny ivelan'ny tanàna; ary rehefa nororany ny masony, ka napetrany taminy ny tànany, dia nanontaniany hoe izy: Mahita zavatra va ianao?

²³and having taken the hand of the blind man, he led him forth without the village, and having spit on his eyes, having put [his] hands on him, he was questioning him if he doth behold anything:

²⁴Dia niandrandra ralehilahy ka nanao hoe: Mahita ny olona aho: fa toa hazo ny fijeriko azy, saingy mamindra.

²⁴and he, having looked up, said, `I behold men, as I see trees, walking.`

²⁵Dia napetrany tamin'ny masony indray ny tànany, dia nibanjina ralehilahy ka nahiratra tsara, ary hitany miharihary ny zavatra rehetra.

²⁵Afterwards again he put [his] hands on his eyes, and made him look up, and he was restored, and discerned all things clearly,

²⁶Ary Jesosy nampody azy ho any an-tranony ka nanao hoe: Aza mankao an-tanàna.

²⁶and he sent him away to his house, saying, `Neither to the village mayest thou go, nor tell [it] to any in the village.`

²⁷Ary Jesosy sy ny mpianany dia lasa nankeny amin'ireny tanàna momba an'i Kaisaria-filipo; ary nony teny an-dalana dia nanontany ny mpianany Izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Ataon'ny olona ho iza moa Aho?

²⁷And Jesus went forth, and his disciples, to the villages of Cesarea Philippi, and in the way he was questioning his disciples, saying to them, `Who do men say me to be?`

²⁸Ary izy nanao taminy hoe: Jaona Mpanao-batisa; fa hoy ny sasany: Elia; ary hoy ny sasany: Anankiray amin'ny mpaminany.

²⁸And they answered, `John the Baptist, and others Elijah, but others one of the prophets.`

²⁹Ary Jesosy nanontany azy hoe: Fa ianareo kosa manao Ahy ho iza? Dia namaly Petera ka nanao taminy hoe: Hianao no Kristy.

²⁹And he saith to them, `And ye — who do ye say me to be?` and Peter answering saith to him, `Thou art the Christ.`

³⁰Ary nandrara azy rehetra Izy mba tsy hilazalaza Azy amin'olona.

³⁰And he strictly charged them that they may tell no one about it,

³¹Dia nampianatra azy Izy fa ny Zanak'olona tsy maintsy hijaly mafy ka holavin'ny loholona sy ny lohan'ny mpisorona ary ny mpanora-dalàna, dia hovonoiny, ary rehefa afaka hateloana, dia hitsangana indray Izy.

³¹and began to teach them, that it behoveth the Son of Man to suffer many things, and to be rejected by the elders, and chief priests, and scribes, and to be killed, and after three days to rise again;

³²Ary naharihariny tsara no filaza izany teny izany. Ary Petera nanohina Azy hitanila kely, dia niteny mafy Azy.

³²and openly he was speaking the word. And Peter having taken him aside, began to rebuke him,

³³Fa Izy nihodina, dia nijery ny mpianany ka niteny mafy an'i Petera hoe: Mankanesa ato ivohoko, ry Satana, satria tsy misaina izay an'Andriamanitra ianao, fa izay an'ny olona.

³³and he, having turned, and having looked on his disciples, rebuked Peter, saying, `Get behind me, Adversary, because thou dost not mind the things of God, but the things of men.`

³⁴Ary nantsoiny hanatona Azy ny vahoaka mbamin'ny mpianany, dia hoy Izy taminy: Raha misy ta-hanaraka Ahy, dia aoka izy handà ny tenany sy hitondra ny hazo fijaliany ka hanaraka Ahy.

³⁴And having called near the multitude, with his disciples, he said to them, `Whoever doth will to come after me — let him disown himself, and take up his cross, and follow me;

³⁵Fa na iza na iza no ta-hamonjy ny ainy, dia hahavery ary; ary na iza na iza no hahavery ny ainy noho ny amiko sy ny filazantsara, dia hamonjy izany.

³⁵for whoever may will to save his life shall lose it; and whoever may lose his life for my sake and for the good news` sake, he shall save it;

³⁶Fa inona no soa azon'ny olona, raha mahazo izao tontolo izao aza, kanefa very ny ainy?

³⁶for what shall it profit a man, if he may gain the whole world, and forfeit his life?

³⁷Fa inona no homen'ny olona ho takalon'ny ainy?Fa na iza na iza no ho menatra Ahy sy ny teniko amin'ity taranaka sady mijangajanga no manota ity, dia ho menatra azy kosa ny Zanak'olona, raha avy amin'ny voninahitry ny Rainy mbamin'ny anjely masina.

³⁷Or what shall a man give as an exchange for his life?

³⁸Fa na iza na iza no ho menatra Ahy sy ny teniko amin'ity taranaka sady mijangajanga no manota ity, dia ho menatra azy kosa ny Zanak'olona, raha avy amin'ny voninahitry ny Rainy mbamin'ny anjely masina.

³⁸for whoever may be ashamed of me, and of my words, in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man also shall be ashamed of him, when he may come in the glory of his Father, with the holy messengers.`
