¹Dia nankeo amin'i Jesosy ny Fariseo sy ny mpanora-dalàna sasany avy tany Jerosalema ka nanao hoe:

¹Then come unto Jesus do they from Jerusalem — scribes and Pharisees — saying,

²Nahoana ny mpianatrao no mandika ny fampianarana voatolotry ny razana? Fa tsy mba manasa tanana izy, raha hihinan-kanina.

²`Wherefore do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they do not wash their hands when they may eat bread.`

³Ary Izy namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Nahoana kosa ianareo no mandika ny didin'Andriamanitra noho ny fampianarana voatolotra anareo?

³And he answering said to them, `Wherefore also do ye transgress the command of God because of your tradition?

⁴Fa Andriamanitra efa nanao hoe: Manajà ny rainao sy ny reninao (Eks. 20. 12), ary koa: Izay miteny ratsy ny rainy na ny reniny dia hatao maty tokoa (Eks. 21. 17).

⁴for God did command, saying, Honour thy father and mother; and, He who is speaking evil of father or mother — let him die the death;

⁵Fa hoy kosa ianareo: Na zovy na zovy no hilaza amin'ny rainy na ny reniny hoe: Efa fanatitra ho an'Andriamanitra izay rehetra tokony hahazoanao soa avy amiko, dia tsy mba hanaja ny rainy akory izy.

⁵but ye say, Whoever may say to father or mother, An offering [is] whatever thou mayest be profited by me; —

⁶Koa dia foananareo ny tenin'Andriamanitra noho ny fampianarana voatolotra anareo.

⁶and he may not honour his father or his mother, and ye did set aside the command of God because of your tradition.

⁷Ry mpihatsaravelatsihy, marina ny naminanian'Isaia anareo hoe:

⁷`Hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,

⁸Ity firenena ity manaja Ahy amin'ny molony; Fa ny fony kosa lavitra Ahy.

⁸This people doth draw nigh to Me with their mouth, and with the lips it doth honour Me, but their heart is far off from Me;

⁹Koa foana ny ivavahan'ireo amiko, raha mampianatra ny didin'olombelona ho fampianarana izy (Isa. 29. 13).

⁹and in vain do they worship Me, teaching teachings — commands of men.`

¹⁰Ary niantso ny vahoaka hankeo aminy Izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Mihainoa ka mahafantara:

¹⁰And having called near the multitude, he said to them, `Hear and understand:

¹¹tsy izay miditra amin'ny vava no mahaloto ny olona; fa izay mivoaka avy amin'ny vava, izany no mahaloto ny olona.

¹¹not that which is coming into the mouth doth defile the man, but that which is coming forth from the mouth, this defileth the man.`

¹²Dia nankeo aminy ny mpianatra ka nanao taminy hoe: Fantatrao va fa tafintohina ny Fariseo, raha nandre izany teny izany?

¹²Then his disciples having come near, said to him, `Hast thou known that the Pharisees, having heard the word, were stumbled?`

¹³Ary Izy namaly ka nanao hoe: Ny zavatra rehetra izay tsy nambolen'ny Raiko Izay any an-danitra dia hongotana.

¹³And he answering said, `Every plant that my heavenly Father did not plant shall be rooted up;

¹⁴Avelao izy; mpitarika jamba izy; ary raha ny jamba no mitarika ny jamba, dia samy ho latsaka any an-kady izy roa.

¹⁴let them alone, guides they are — blind of blind; and if blind may guide blind, both into a ditch shall fall.`

¹⁵Ary Petera namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Lazao aminay ny hevitr'izany fanoharana izany.

¹⁵And Peter answering said to him, `Explain to us this simile.`

¹⁶Ary hoy Jesosy: Hianareo koa va mbola tsy mahafantatra ihany?

¹⁶And Jesus said, `Are ye also yet without understanding?

¹⁷Tsy fantatrareo va fa izay rehetra miditra amin'ny vava dia mankao an-kibo ka avoaka ao amin'ny fivoahana?

¹⁷do ye not understand that all that is going into the mouth doth pass into the belly, and into the drain is cast forth?

¹⁸Fa izay mivoaka avy amin'ny vava kosa dia avy amin'ny fo, ka izany no mahaloto ny olona.

¹⁸but the things coming forth from the mouth from the heart do come forth, and these defile the man;

¹⁹Fa avy amin'ny fo no ivoahan'ny sain-dratsy, dia ny vonoan'olona, ny fakam-badin'olona, ny fijangajangana, ny halatra, ny ampanga lainga, ny fitenenan-dratsy;[Gr. blasfemia, izahao 9. 3]

¹⁹for out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, whoredoms, thefts, false witnessings, evil speakings:

²⁰izany no mahaloto ny olona; fa ny mihinana amin'ny tanana tsy misasa tsy mba mahaloto ny olona.

²⁰these are the things defiling the man; but to eat with unwashen hands doth not defile the man.`

²¹Dia niala teo Jesosy ka nankany amin'ny fari-tanin'i Tyro sy Sidona.

²¹And Jesus having come forth thence, withdrew to the parts of Tyre and Sidon,

²²Ary, indro, nisy vehivavy Kananita anankiray nivoaka avy tamin'izany tany izany ka niantso nanao hoe: Mamindrà fo amiko, Tompoko, Zanak'i Davida ô! ny zanako-vavy ampahorin'ny demonia loatra.

²²and lo, a woman, a Canaanitess, from those borders having come forth, did call to him, saying, `Deal kindly with me, Sir — Son of David; my daughter is miserably demonized.`

²³Fa Izy tsy namaly teny azy. dia nanatona ny mpianany ka nangataka taminy nanao hoe: Roahy izy, fa miantso mafy ato aoriantsika.

²³And he did not answer her a word; and his disciples having come to him, were asking him, saying — `Let her away, because she crieth after us;`

²⁴Ary Izy namaly ka nanao hoe: Tsy nirahina Aho afa-tsy ho amin'ny ondry very amin'ny taranak'isiraely.

²⁴and he answering said, `I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.`

²⁵Fa nanatona ihany ravehivavy, dia niankohoka teo anatrehany ka nanao hoe: Tompoko ô, vonjeo aho.

²⁵And having come, she was bowing to him, saying, `Sir, help me;`

²⁶Fa Izy namaly ka nanao hoe: Tsy mety raha maka ny mofon-jaza ka manipy azy ho an'ny amboakely.

²⁶and he answering said, `It is not good to take the children`s bread, and to cast to the little dogs.`

²⁷Fa hoy ravehivavy: Marina izany, Tompoko; fa na dia ny amboakely aza mba mihinana izay sombintsombiny latsaka avy amin'ny latabatry ny tompony ihany.

²⁷And she said, `Yes, sir, for even the little dogs do eat of the crumbs that are falling from their lords` table;`

²⁸Dia namaly Jesosy ka nanao taminy hoe: Ravehivavy, lehibe ny finoanao; tongava aminao araka izay irinao. Dia sitrana ny zananivavy tamin'izay ora izay.

²⁸then answering, Jesus said to her, `O woman, great [is] thy faith, let it be to thee as thou wilt;` and her daughter was healed from that hour.

²⁹Ary raha niala teo Jesosy, dia nankany amoron'ny Ranomasin'i Galilia Izy; ary niakatra nankeo an-tendrombohitra Izy ka nipetraka teo;

²⁹And Jesus having passed thence, came nigh unto the sea of Galilee, and having gone up to the mountain, he was sitting there,

³⁰ary nisy vahoaka betsaka nankeo aminy nitondra ny mandringa, ny jamba, ny moana, ny kilemaina, ary ny maro hafa koa, ka nametraka azy teo akaikin'ny tongotr'i Jesosy; dia nahasitrana azy Izy;

³⁰and there came to him great multitudes, having with them lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and they did cast them at the feet of Jesus, and he healed them,

³¹ka dia talanjona ny vahoaka, raha nahita ny moana miteny, ny kilemaina sitrana, ny mandringa afaka, ary ny jamba mahiratra; dia nankalaza an'Andriamanitry ny Isiraely izy.

³¹so that the multitudes did wonder, seeing dumb ones speaking, maimed whole, lame walking, and blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel.

³²Ary Jesosy niantso ny mpianany hankeo aminy ka nanao hoe: Mahonena Ahy ny vahoaka, fa efa nitoetra hateloana tatỳ amiko izy izao ka tsy manan-kohanina; ary tsy tiako ny hampody azy tsy mihinana, fandrao reraka eny an-dalana izy.

³²And Jesus having called near his disciples, said, `I have compassion upon the multitude, because now three days they continue with me, and they have not what they may eat; and to let them away fasting I will not, lest they faint in the way.`

³³Fa hoy ny mpianatra taminy: Aiza no hahitanay mofo atỳ an-efitra ampy hahavoky izao vahoaka betsaka izao!

³³And his disciples say to him, `Whence to us, in a wilderness, so many loaves, as to fill so great a multitude?`

³⁴Ary hoy Jesosy taminy: Misy mofo firy any aminareo? Ary hoy izy: Fito sy hazandrano madinika vitsy foana.

³⁴And Jesus saith to them, `How many loaves have ye?` and they said, `Seven, and a few little fishes.`

³⁵Ary Izy nandidy ny vahoaka betsaka hipetraka amin'ny tany.

³⁵And he commanded the multitudes to sit down upon the ground,

³⁶Dia nandray ny mofo fito mbamin'ny hazandrano Izy, ary rehefa nisaotra, dia namaky ka nanolotra azy ho an'ny mpianatra, ary ny mpianatra kosa nanolotra ho an'ny vahoaka.

³⁶and having taken the seven loaves and the fishes, having given thanks, he did break, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.

³⁷Ary nihinana avokoa izy rehetra, ka dia voky; ary nangoniny ny sombintsombiny sisa tsy lany, ka dia nahafeno sobiky fito.

³⁷And they did all eat, and were filled, and they took up what was over of the broken pieces seven baskets full,

³⁸Ary izay nihinana dia efatra arivo lahy, afa-tsy ny zaza amim-behivavy.Ary nony efa nampody ny vahoaka Izy, dia niondrana an-tsambokely ka nankany amin'ny sisin-tanin'i Magadana.

³⁸and those eating were four thousand men, apart from women and children.

³⁹Ary nony efa nampody ny vahoaka Izy, dia niondrana an-tsambokely ka nankany amin'ny sisin-tanin'i Magadana.

³⁹And having let away the multitudes, he went into the boat, and did come to the borders of Magdala.
