¹Tamin'izany andro izany Heroda mpanapaka nandre ny lazan'i Jesosy,

¹At that time did Herod the tetrarch hear the fame of Jesus,

²ka hoy izy tamin'ny mpanompony: Jaona Mpanao-batisa izay; efa nitsangana tamin'ny maty izy, koa izany no ananany hery hanao izany asa lehibe izany.

²and said to his servants, `This is John the Baptist, he did rise from the dead, and because of this the mighty energies are working in him.`

³Fa Heroda efa nisambotra an'i Jaona, dia namatotra azy ka nanao azy tao an-tranomaizina, noho ny tamin'i Herodiasy, vadin'i Filipo rahalahiny.

³For Herod having laid hold on John, did bind him, and did put him in prison, because of Herodias his brother Philip`s wife,

⁴Fa Jaona efa nilaza taminy hoe: Diso ianao, raha manambady azy.

⁴for John was saying to him, `It is not lawful to thee to have her,`

⁵Ary Heroda naniry hamono azy, saingy natahotra ny vahoaka izy, satria nataon'ireo ho mpaminany Jaona.

⁵and, willing to kill him, he feared the multitude, because as a prophet they were holding him.

⁶Fa nony tonga ny fitsingerenan'ny taona nahaterahan'i Heroda, dia nandihy teo anatrehany ny zanakavavin'i Herodiasy ka nahafaly an'i Heroda.

⁶But the birthday of Herod being kept, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst, and did please Herod,

⁷Ary noho izany dia nianiana izy fa hanome azy izay hangatahiny na inona na inona.

⁷whereupon with an oath he professed to give her whatever she might ask.

⁸Ary rehefa nomen-dreniny saina razazavavy, dia nanao hoe: Omeo ahy eto an-dovia ny lohan'i Jaona Mpanao-batisa.

⁸And she having been instigated by her mother — `Give me (says she) here upon a plate the head of John the Baptist;

⁹Dia nalahelo ny mpanjaka; kanefa noho ny fianianany sy ny olona izay niara-nipetraka nihinana teo aminy, dia nandidy ihany izy mba homena izany.

⁹and the king was grieved, but because of the oaths and of those reclining with him, he commanded [it] to be given;

¹⁰Ary dia naniraka hanapaka ny lohan'i Jaona tao an-tranomaizina izy.

¹⁰and having sent, he beheaded John in the prison,

¹¹Dia nentina an-dovia ny lohany ka nomena ilay zazavavy; ary izy nitondra azy ho ao amin-dreniny.

¹¹and his head was brought upon a plate, and was given to the damsel, and she brought [it] nigh to her mother.

¹²Ary avy ny mpianany, dia naka ny faty ka nandevina azy; ary dia lasa izy ka nilaza tamin'i Jesosy.

¹²And his disciples having come, took up the body, and buried it, and having come, they told Jesus,

¹³Ary nony nandre izany Jesosy, dia niondrana an-tsambokely niala teo handeha hitokana any an-tany foana; ary raha nandre izany ny vahoaka, dia niala teny amin'ny tanàna maro izy ka nandeha an-tanety nanaraka Azy.[Na: nandeha tongotra]

¹³and Jesus having heard, withdrew thence in a boat to a desolate place by himself, and the multitudes having heard did follow him on land from the cities.

¹⁴Ary nony nivoaka Jesosy, dia nahita vahoaka betsaka, ary onena azy ka nahasitrana ny marariny.

¹⁴And Jesus having come forth, saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion upon them, and did heal their infirm;

¹⁵Ary nony hariva ny andro, dia nanatona Azy ny mpianatra ka nanao hoe: Tany foana ity, ary efa hariva ny andro izao; ravao ny vahoaka, mba hankanesany eny amin'ny vohitra hividy hanina ho azy.

¹⁵and evening having come, his disciples came to him, saying, `The place is desolate, and the hour hath now past, let away the multitudes that, having gone to the villages, they may buy to themselves food.`

¹⁶Fa hoy Jesosy taminy: Tsy tokony handeha izy; omeonareo hanina izy.

¹⁶And Jesus said to them, `They have no need to go away — give ye them to eat.`

¹⁷Fa hoy ny mpianany taminy: Tsy misy atỳ aminay, afa-tsy mofo dimy sy hazandrano roa.

¹⁷And they say to him, `We have not here except five loaves, and two fishes.`

¹⁸Ary hoy Izy: Ento eto amiko izany.

¹⁸And he said, `Bring ye them to me hither.`

¹⁹Dia nasainy nipetraka teny ambonin'ny ahitra ny vahoaka, ary noraisiny ny mofo dimy sy ny hazandrano roa, dia niandrandra ny lanitra Izy ka nisaotra; ary nony efa novakiny ny mofo, dia natolony ny mpianatra, ary ny mpianatra kosa nanolotra ho an'ny vahoaka.

¹⁹And having commanded the multitudes to recline upon the grass, and having taken the five loaves and the two fishes, having looked up to the heaven, he did bless, and having broken, he gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes,

²⁰Ary nihinana avokoa izy rehetra, ka dia voky; ary nangoniny ny sombintsombiny sisa tsy lany, ka dia nahafeno harona roa ambin'ny folo.

²⁰and they did all eat, and were filled, and they took up what was over of the broken pieces twelve hand-baskets full;

²¹Ary izay nihinana dia tokony ho dimy arivo lahy, afa-tsy ny zaza amim-behivavy.

²¹and those eating were about five thousand men, apart from women and children.

²²Ary niaraka tamin'izay dia nanery ny mpianatra hiondrana an-tsambokely Jesosy ka hita eo alohany ho eny am-pita mandra-pandràvany ny vahoaka.

²²And immediately Jesus constrained his disciples to go into the boat, and to go before him to the other side, till he might let away the multitudes;

²³Ary rehefa noravany ny vahoaka, dia niakatra tao an-tendrombohitra Izy mba hitokana hivavaka; ary nony hariva ny andro, dia nitoetra irery teo Izy.

²³and having let away the multitudes, he went up to the mountain by himself to pray, and evening having come, he was there alone,

²⁴Ary efa mby teo ampovoan'ny ranomasina ny sambokely tamin'izay, dia natopatopan'ny alon-drano izy, fa notohain'ny rivotra.

²⁴and the boat was now in the midst of the sea, distressed by the waves, for the wind was contrary.

²⁵Ary tamin'ny fiambenana fahefatra amin'ny alina dia nankeny amin'ny mpianany Jesosy, nitsangantsangana teny ambonin'ny ranomasina.

²⁵And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went away to them, walking upon the sea,

²⁶Ary nony nahita Azy nitsangantsangana tambonin'ny ranomasina ny mpianatra, dia raiki-tahotra ka nanao hoe: Matoatoa io; dia niantso izy noho ny tahotra.

²⁶and the disciples having seen him walking upon the sea, were troubled saying — `It is an apparition,` and from the fear they cried out;

²⁷Ary Jesosy niteny taminy niaraka tamin'izay hoe: Matokia, fa Izaho ihany, aza matahotra.

²⁷and immediately Jesus spake to them, saying, `Be of good courage, I am [he], be not afraid.`

²⁸Ary Petera namaly Azy ka nanao hoe: Tompoko, raha Hianao ihany, dia asaovy manatona Anao eny ambonin'ny rano aho.

²⁸And Peter answering him said, `Sir, if it is thou, bid me come to thee upon the waters;`

²⁹Ary hoy Izy: Manatona. Dia nidina niala tamin'ny sambokely Petera ka nandeha tambonin'ny rano hanatona an'i Jesosy.

²⁹and he said, `Come;` and having gone down from the boat, Peter walked upon the waters to come unto Jesus,

³⁰Fa raha nahita ny rivotra izy, dia natahotra, ary raha vao nilentika izy, dia niantso hoe: Tompo ô, vonjeo aho![ Na: (rivotra mahery)]

³⁰but seeing the wind vehement, he was afraid, and having begun to sink, he cried out, saying, `Sir, save me.`

³¹Ary naninjitra ny tànany niaraka tamin'izay Jesosy, dia nandray azy ka nanao taminy hoe: Ry kely finoana, nahoana no niahanahana ianao?

³¹And immediately Jesus, having stretched forth the hand, laid hold of him, and saith to him, `Little faith! for what didst thou waver?`

³²Ary rehefa niakatra teo an-tsambokely izy, dia nitsahatra ny rivotra.

³²and they having gone to the boat the wind lulled,

³³Ary izay teo an-tsambokely dia niankohoka teo anatrehany ka nanao hoe: Zanak'Andriamanitra tokoa Hianao.

³³and those in the boat having come, did bow to him, saying, `Truly — God`s Son art thou.`

³⁴Ary nony tafita izy, dia tonga teo an-tanety, any Genesareta.

³⁴And having passed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret,

³⁵Ary nony nahafantatra Azy ny tompon-tany teo, dia naniraka tany amin'ny tany rehetra manodidina izy ka nitondra ny marary rehetra ho eo aminy.Ary nangataka taminy ireo mba hamela azy hanendry na dia ny somotraviavin-dambany ihany aza; koa na iza na iza no nanendry dia sitrana tokoa.

³⁵and having recognized him, the men of that place sent forth to all that region round about, and they brought to him all who were ill,

³⁶Ary nangataka taminy ireo mba hamela azy hanendry na dia ny somotraviavin-dambany ihany aza; koa na iza na iza no nanendry dia sitrana tokoa.

³⁶and were calling on him that they might only touch the fringe of his garment, and as many as did touch were saved.
