¹Tamin'izany andro izany Jesosy nandeha namaky ny tanimbary tamin'ny Sabata; ary noana ny mpianany ka nanoty salohim-bary, dia nihinana.

¹At that time did Jesus go on the sabbaths through the corn, and his disciples were hungry, and they began to pluck ears, and to eat,

²Fa nony nahita izany ny Fariseo, dia hoy izy taminy: Indro, ny mpianatrao manao izay tsy mety hatao amin'ny Sabata.

²and the Pharisees having seen, said to him, `Lo, thy disciples do that which it is not lawful to do on a sabbath.`

³Ary hoy Izy taminy: Tsy mbola novakinareo va ny teny milaza ilay nataon'i Davida, raha noana izy mbamin'izay nanaraka azy,

³And he said to them, `Did ye not read what David did, when he was hungry, himself and those with him —

⁴Fa niditra tao amin'ny tranon'Andriamanitra izy ka nihinana ny mofo aseho, izay nahadiso raha haniny, na izay nanaraka azy, afa-tsy ny mpisorona ihany?

⁴how he went into the house of God, and the loaves of the presentation did eat, which it is not lawful to him to eat, nor to those with him, except to the priests alone?

⁵Ary tsy mbola novakinareo ao amin'ny lalàna va fa amin'ny Sabata ny mpisorona ao amin'ny tempoly manota ny Sabata, nefa tsy manan-tsiny?

⁵`Or did ye not read in the Law, that on the sabbaths the priests in the temple do profane the sabbath, and are blameless?

⁶Ary dia lazaiko aminareo fa misy eto lehibe noho ny tempoly.

⁶and I say to you, that a greater than the temple is here;

⁷Fa raha fantatrareo izay hevitry ny teny hoe: Famindram-po no sitrako, fa tsy fanatitra alatsa-drà (Hos. 6. 6), dia tsy mba nanameloka ny tsy manan-tsiny ianareo.

⁷and if ye had known what is: Kindness I will, and not sacrifice — ye had not condemned the blameless,

⁸Fa Tompon'ny Sabata ny Zanak'olona.

⁸for the son of man is lord even of the sabbath.`

⁹Ary nony niala teo Jesosy, dia niditra tao amin'ny synagoga;

⁹And having departed thence, he went to their synagogue,

¹⁰ary, indro, nisy lehilahy maty tanana teo. Ary ny olona nanontany Azy hoe: Mety va ny mahasitrana amin'ny Sabata? mba hiampangany Azy.[Gr. efa maina, na malazo]

¹⁰and lo, there was a man having the hand withered, and they questioned him, saying, `Is it lawful to heal on the sabbaths?` that they might accuse him.

¹¹Ary hoy Izy taminy: Iza moa no olona ao aminareo, raha manana ondry anankiray, ka latsaka any an-kady amin'ny Sabata, no tsy handray azy sy hampakatra azy?

¹¹And he said to them, `What man shall be of you, who shall have one sheep, and if this may fall on the sabbaths into a ditch, will not lay hold on it and raise [it]?

¹²Ary tsy mihoatra lavitra noho ny ondry va ny olona? Koa amin'izany dia mety ny manao soa amin'ny Sabata.

¹²How much better, therefore, is a man than a sheep? — so that it is lawful on the sabbaths to do good.`

¹³Dia hoy Izy tamin-dralehilahy: Ahinjiro ny tananao. Dia nahinjiny ka sitrana ho tahaka ny anankiray.

¹³Then saith he to the man, `Stretch forth thy hand,` and he stretched [it] forth, and it was restored whole as the other.

¹⁴Ary ny Fariseo dia lasa nivoaka ka niara-nisaina mba hahafaty Azy.

¹⁴And the Pharisees having gone forth, held a consultation against him, how they might destroy him,

¹⁵Fa Jesosy nahalala izany, ka dia niala teo. Ary nisy olona betsaka nanaraka Azy, ka dia nositraniny avokoa izy rehetra;

¹⁵and Jesus having known, withdrew thence, and there followed him great multitudes, and he healed them all,

¹⁶ary nandrara azy Izy tsy hanao izay hahafantarana Azy,

¹⁶and did charge them that they might not make him manifest,

¹⁷mba hahatanteraka izay nampilazaina an'Isaia mpaminany hoe:

¹⁷that it might be fulfilled that was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,

¹⁸Indro ny Mpanompoko, Izay nofidiko, Ny Malalako, Izay sitraky ny foko indrindra; Hapetrako ao aminy ny Fanahiko, Ary hitory ny rariny amin'ny jentilisa Izy;

¹⁸`Lo, My servant, whom I did choose, My beloved, in whom My soul did delight, I will put My Spirit upon him, and judgment to the nations he shall declare,

¹⁹Tsy hifanditra, na hiantso mafy Izy; Ary tsy hisy handre ny feony any an-dalana;

¹⁹he shall not strive nor cry, nor shall any hear in the broad places his voice,

²⁰Tsy hotapahiny ny volotara torotoro, Ary tsy hovonoiny ny lahin-jiro manetona, Ambara-pamoakany ny rariny ho mpandresy;

²⁰a bruised reed he shall not break, and smoking flax he shall not quench, till he may put forth judgment to victory,

²¹Ary ny anarany no hitokian'ny jentilisa (Isa. 42:1-4).

²¹and in his name shall nations hope.`

²²Dia nentina tany amin'i Jesosy ny lehilahy anankiray izay demoniaka, sady jamba no moana; dia nositraniny, ka dia niteny sy nahita ilay moana.

²²Then was brought to him a demoniac, blind and dumb, and he healed him, so that the blind and dumb both spake and saw.

²³Dia talanjona ny vahoaka rehetra ka nanao hoe: Moa Ity va Ilay Zanak'i Davida?

²³And all the multitudes were amazed, and said, `Is this the Son of David?`

²⁴Fa nony ren'ny Fariseo izany, dia hoy izy: Tsy misy amoahan'ilehiny ny demonia, afa-tsy Belzeboba, lohan'ny demonia.

²⁴but the Pharisees having heard, said, `This one doth not cast out demons, except by Beelzeboul, ruler of the demons.`

²⁵Ary Jesosy nahalala ny eritreriny, dia nanao taminy hoe: Ho foana ny fanjakana rehetra izay miady an-trano; ary tsy haharitra ny tanàna rehetra, na ny trano, izay miady an-trano.

²⁵And Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said to them, `Every kingdom having been divided against itself is desolated, and no city or house having been divided against itself, doth stand,

²⁶Ary raha Satana no mamoaka an'i Satana, dia miady an-trano izy; ka ahoana no haharetan'ny fanjakany?

²⁶and if the Adversary doth cast out the Adversary, against himself he was divided, how then doth his kingdom stand?

²⁷Ary raha Belzeboba no amoahako ny demonia, iza kosa no mba amoahan'ny zanakareo azy? ary noho izany dia izy ihany no ho mpitsara anareo.

²⁷`And if I, by Beelzeboul, do cast out the demons, your sons — by whom do they cast out? because of this they — they shall be your judges.

²⁸Fa raha ny Fanahin'Andriamanitra kosa no amoahako ny demonia, dia efa tonga aminareo sahady ny fanjakan'Andriamanitra.

²⁸`But if I, by the Spirit of God, do cast out the demons, then come already unto you did the reign of God.

²⁹Fa hataon'ny olona ahoana no fiditra ao an-tranon'ny mahery handroba ny entany, raha tsy afatony aloha ny mahery? dia vao handroba ny ao an-tranony izy.

²⁹`Or how is one able to go into the house of the strong man, and to plunder his goods, if first he may not bind the strong man? and then his house he will plunder.

³⁰Izay tsy momba Ahy dia manohitra Ahy; ary izay tsy miara-mamory amiko dia manahaka.

³⁰`He who is not with me is against me, and he who is not gathering with me, doth scatter.

³¹Ary noho izany dia lazaiko aminareo hoe: Hahazo famelan-keloka ny olona amin'ny ota sy fitenenan-dratsy samy hafa rehetra; fa tsy hahazo famelan-keloka ny olona amin'ny fitenenan-dratsy ny Fanahy Masina.[Gr.blasfemia,izahao 9. 3]

³¹Because of this I say to you, all sin and evil speaking shall be forgiven to men, but the evil speaking of the Spirit shall not be forgiven to men.

³²Ary na iza na iza no manao teny hanohitra ny Zanak'olona, dia hahazo famelan-keloka ihany; fa na iza na iza no miteny hanohitra ny Fanahy Masina, dia tsy mba hahazo famelan-keloka, na amin'izao fiainana izao, na amin'ny ho avy.

³²And whoever may speak a word against the Son of Man it shall be forgiven to him, but whoever may speak against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this age, nor in that which is coming.

³³Koa ataovy tsara ny hazo mbamin'ny voany, na ataovy ratsy ny hazo mbamin'ny voany; fa ny voany no ahafantarana ny hazo.

³³`Either make the tree good, and its fruit good, or make the tree bad, and its fruit bad, for from the fruit is the tree known.

³⁴Ry taranaky ny menarana! hataonareo, izay ratsy fanahy, ahoana no fahay miteny zavatra tsara? fa avy amin'ny haben'ny ao am-po no itenenan'ny vava.

³⁴`Brood of vipers! how are ye able to speak good things — being evil? for out of the abundance of the heart doth the mouth speak.

³⁵Ny rakitra tsara no amoahan'ny olona tsara fanahy zavatra tsara; ary ny rakitra ratsy kosa no amoahan'ny olona ratsy fanahy zavatra ratsy.

³⁵The good man out of the good treasure of the heart doth put forth the good things, and the evil man out of the evil treasure doth put forth evil things.

³⁶Ary lazaiko aminareo fa hampamoahina ny olona amin'ny andro fitsarana noho ny amin'ny teny foana rehetra izay ataony.

³⁶`And I say to you, that every idle word that men may speak, they shall give for it a reckoning in a day of judgment;

³⁷Fa ny teninao no hanamarinana anao, ary ny teninao no hanamelohana anao.

³⁷for from thy words thou shalt be declared righteous, and from thy words thou shalt be declared unrighteous.`

³⁸Ary tamin'izany ny sasany tamin'ny mpanora-dalàna sy ny Fariseo namaly Azy ka nanao hoe: Mpampianatra ô, ta-hahita famantarana avy aminao izahay.

³⁸Then answered certain of the scribes and Pharisees, saying, `Teacher, we will to see a sign from thee.`

³⁹Fa Jesosy namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Izay taranaka ratsy fanahy sy mijangajanga dia fatra-pitady famantarana; nefa tsy hisy famantarana homena azy, afa-tsy famantarana ny amin'i Jona mpaminany;

³⁹And he answering said to them, `A generation, evil and adulterous, doth seek a sign, and a sign shall not be given to it, except the sign of Jonah the prophet;

⁴⁰fa tahaka ny nitoeran'i Jona hateloan'andro sy hateloan'alina tao an-kibon'ny hazandrano lehibe, dia toy izany no hitoeran'ny Zanak'olona hateloan'Andro sy hateloan'alina ao anatin'ny tany.

⁴⁰for, as Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights, so shall the Son of Man be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights.

⁴¹Ny olona tany Ninive hiara-mitsangana amin'ity taranaka ity amin'ny andro fitsarana ka hanameloka azy; fa nibebaka izy tamin'ny nitorian'i Jona teny; nefa, indro, misy lehibe noho Jona eto.

⁴¹`Men of Nineveh shall stand up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it, for they reformed at the proclamation of Jonah, and lo, a greater than Jonah here!

⁴²Ny mpanjakavavy avy tany atsimo hiara-mitsangana amin'ity taranaka ity amin'ny andro fitsarana ka hanameloka azy; fa avy tany amin'ny faran'ny tany izy hihaino ny fahendren'i Solomona; nefa, indro, misy lehibe noho Solomona eto.

⁴²`A queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and lo, a greater than Solomon here!

⁴³Raha mivoaka amin'ny olona ny fanahy maloto, dia mandeha mitety ny tany tsy misy rano izy, mitady fitsaharana, fa tsy mahita.

⁴³`And, when the unclean spirit may go forth from the man, it doth walk through dry places seeking rest, and doth not find;

⁴⁴Dia hoy izy: Hody any amin'ny tranoko izay nivoahako aho; ary nony tonga izy, dia hitany fa foana ny trano sady voafafa no voavoatra.

⁴⁴then it saith, I will turn back to my house whence I came forth; and having come, it findeth [it] unoccupied, swept, and adorned:

⁴⁵Ary dia mandeha izy ka mitondra fanahy fito hafa koa miaraka aminy izay ratsy noho izy; dia miditra ireo ka mitoetra ao; ary ny faran'izany olona izany dia tonga ratsy noho ny voalohany. Ary dia tahaka izany koa no ho amin'ity taranaka ratsy fanahy ity.

⁴⁵then doth it go, and take with itself seven other spirits more evil than itself, and having gone in they dwell there, and the last of that man doth become worse than the first; so shall it be also to this evil generation.`

⁴⁶Ary raha mbola niteny tamin'ny vahoaka Jesosy, indreo, ny reniny mbamin'ny rahalahiny nijanona teo ala-trano nitady hiteny aminy.

⁴⁶And while he was yet speaking to the multitudes, lo, his mother and brethren had stood without, seeking to speak to him,

⁴⁷Ary nisy anankiray nanao taminy hoe: Indreo, ny reninao mbamin'ny rahalahinao mijanona ato ala-trano mitady hiteny aminao.

⁴⁷and one said to him, `Lo, thy mother and thy brethren do stand without, seeking to speak to thee.`

⁴⁸Fa namaly Izy ka nanao tamin'ilay nilaza taminy hoe: Iza moa no reniko, ary iza no rahalahiko?

⁴⁸And he answering said to him who spake to him, `Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?`

⁴⁹Ary naninjitra ny tànany nanondro ny mpianany Izy ka nanao hoe: Indreo ny reniko sy ny rahalahiko;Fa na iza na iza no hanao ny sitrapon'ny Raiko Izay any an-danitra, dia izy no rahalahiko sy anabaviko ary reniko.

⁴⁹And having stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, he said, `Lo, my mother and my brethren!

⁵⁰Fa na iza na iza no hanao ny sitrapon'ny Raiko Izay any an-danitra, dia izy no rahalahiko sy anabaviko ary reniko.

⁵⁰for whoever may do the will of my Father who is in the heavens, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.`
