¹Ary nony afaka henemana, Jesosy dia naka an'i Petera sy Jakoba ary Jaona rahalahiny ka nitondra azy niakatra ho any an-tendrombohitra avo mba hitokana.

¹And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, and James, and John his brother, and doth bring them up to a high mount by themselves,

²Dia niova tarehy teo anatrehany Izy, ka ny tavany namirapiratra tahaka ny masoandro, ary ny fitafiany tonga fotsy tahaka ny mazava.

²and he was transfigured before them, and his face shone as the sun, and his garments did become white as the light,

³Ary, indreo, niseho tamin'ny mpianatra Mosesy sy Elia, niresaka tamin'i Jesosy.

³and lo, appear to them did Moses and Elijah, talking together with him.

⁴Dia niteny Petera ka nanao tamin'i Jesosy hoe: Tompoko, tsara raha mitoetra eto isika; koa raha sitrakao, aoka aho hanao lay telo eto: ny anankiray ho Anao, ny anankiray ho an'i Mosesy, ary ny anankiray ho an'i Elia.

⁴And Peter answering said to Jesus, `Sir, it is good to us to be here; if thou wilt, we may make here three booths — for thee one, and for Moses one, and one for Elijah.`

⁵Raha mbola niteny izy, indro, nisy rahona mazava nanarona azy ireo; ary, injao, nisy feo avy tao amin'ny rahona nanao hoe: Ity no Zanako malalako Izay sitrako; Izy no henoy.

⁵While he is yet speaking, lo, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and lo, a voice out of the cloud, saying, `This is My Son, — the Beloved, in whom I did delight; hear him.`

⁶Ary nony nandre izany ny mpianatra, dia lavo niankohoka sady natahotra indrindra.

⁶And the disciples having heard, did fall upon their face, and were exceedingly afraid,

⁷Ary Jesosy nankeo aminy, dia nanendry azy ka nanao hoe; Mitsangàna, fa aza matahotra.

⁷and Jesus having come near, touched them, and said, `Rise, be not afraid,`

⁸Ary nony niandrandra izy ireo, dia tsy nahita olona, afa-tsy Jesosy irery ihany.

⁸and having lifted up their eyes, they saw no one, except Jesus only.

⁹Ary rehefa nidina avy tao an-tendrombohitra izy, dia nandrara azy Jesosy ka nanao hoe: Aza milaza amin'olona ny fahitana, mandra-pitsangan'ny Zanak'olona amin'ny maty.

⁹And as they are coming down from the mount, Jesus charged them, saying, `Say to no one the vision, till the Son of Man out of the dead may rise.`

¹⁰Ary ny mpianany nanontany Azy ka nanao hoe: Nahoana ary no ilazan'ny mpanora-dalàna fa Elia tsy maintsy ho avy aloha?

¹⁰And his disciples questioned him, saying, `Why then do the scribes say that Elijah it behoveth to come first?`

¹¹Ary Jesosy namaly ka nanao hoe: Elia dia avy ihany ka hampody ny zavatra rehetra.

¹¹And Jesus answering said to them, `Elijah doth indeed come first, and shall restore all things,

¹²Nefa lazaiko aminareo: Efa tonga sahady Elia; nefa ny olona tsy nahafantatra azy, fa nanao izay sitraky ny fony taminy. Dia tahaka izany koa no hampiaretany ny Zanak'olona.

¹²and I say to you — Elijah did already come, and they did not know him, but did with him whatever they would, so also the Son of Man is about to suffer by them.`

¹³Dia fantatry ny mpianatra fa Jaona Mpanao-batisa no nolazainy taminy.

¹³Then understood the disciples that concerning John the Baptist he spake to them.

¹⁴Ary rehefa tonga teo amin'ny vahoaka izy ireo, nisy lehilahy anankiray nanatona an'i Jesosy, dia nandohalika teo anatrehany ka nanao hoe:

¹⁴And when they came unto the multitude, there came to him a man, kneeling down to him,

¹⁵Tompoko, mamindrà fo amin'ny zanako-lahy, fa mararin'ny androbe izy ka mahantra tokoa; fa matetika izy no mianjera ao amin'ny afo, ary matetika ao amin'ny rano.

¹⁵and saying, `Sir, deal kindly with my son, for he is lunatic, and doth suffer miserably, for often he doth fall into the fire, and often into the water,

¹⁶Ary nitondra azy tamin'ny mpianatrao aho, fa tsy nahay nahasitrana azy izy.

¹⁶and I brought him near to thy disciples, and they were not able to heal him.`

¹⁷Ary Jesosy namaly ka nanao hoe: Ry taranaka tsy mino sady efa nivadika, mandra-pahoviana no hitoerako aminareo? Mandra-pahoviana no handeferako aminareo? Ento atỳ amiko izy.

¹⁷And Jesus answering said, `O generation, unstedfast and perverse, till when shall I be with you? till when shall I bear you? bring him to me hither;`

¹⁸Ary niteny mafy azy Jesosy, dia nivoaka taminy ny demonia, ka sitrana ilay zazalahy tamin'izay ora izay.

¹⁸and Jesus rebuked him, and the demon went out of him, and the lad was healed from that hour.

¹⁹Dia nankao amin'i Jesosy mangingina ny mpianatra ka nanao hoe: Nahoana izahay no tsy nahavoaka azy?

¹⁹Then the disciples having come to Jesus by himself, said, `Wherefore were we not able to cast him out?`

²⁰Ary hoy Jesosy taminy: Noho ny fahakelezan'ny finoanareo ihany; fa lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa: Raha manana finoana hoatra ny voan-tsinapy iray aza ianareo ka hiteny amin'io tendrombohitra io hoe: Mifindrà erỳ , dia hifindra izy; ary tsy hisy tsy ho hainareo hatao.

²⁰And Jesus said to them, `Through your want of faith; for verily I say to you, if ye may have faith as a grain of mustard, ye shall say to this mount, Remove hence to yonder place, and it shall remove, and nothing shall be impossible to you,

²¹[Ampio hoe: (21 Kanefa iny karazana iny tsy mivoaka raha tsy avoaka amin'ny fivavahana sy ny fifadian-kanina)]

²¹and this kind doth not go forth except in prayer and fasting.`

²²Ary raha nitoetra tany Galilia izy, Jesosy dia nilaza tamin'ny mpianany hoe: Ny Zanak'olona efa hatolotra ho eo an-tànan'ny olona

²²And while they are living in Galilee, Jesus said to them, `The Son of Man is about to be delivered up to the hands of men,

²³ka hovonoiny, nefa amin'ny andro fahatelo dia hatsangana indray Izy. Ary dia nalahelo indrindra ireo.

²³and they shall kill him, and the third day he shall rise,` and they were exceeding sorry.

²⁴Ary nony tonga tao Kapernaomy izy, dia nankeo amin'i Petera ny mpandray ny antsasaky ny sekely ka nanao hoe: Moa ny mpampianatra anareo tsy mba mandoa ny antsasaky ny sekely va?[Gr. didrakma]

²⁴And they having come to Capernaum, those receiving the didrachms came near to Peter, and said, `Your teacher — doth he not pay the didrachms?` He saith, `Yes.`

²⁵Dia hoy Petera: Mandoa ihany Izy. Ary raha vao tafiditra tao an-trano Petera, dia nosakanan'i Jesosy teny izy ka nataony hoe: Ahoana no hevitrao, ry Simona? Avy amin'iza moa no andraisan'ny mpanjaka etỳ an-tany fadin-tseranana sy vola hetra? Avy amin'ny zanany va, sa avy amin'ny olon-kafa?

²⁵And when he came into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, `What thinkest thou, Simon? the kings of the earth — from whom do they receive custom or poll-tax? from their sons or from the strangers?`

²⁶Ary nony hoy Petera taminy: Avy amin'ny olon-kafa, dia hoy kosa Jesosy: Dia afaka ary ny zanaka.Nefa andrao isika manafintohina azy, dia mankanesa ao amin'ny ranomasina ianao, ka manjonoa; ary raiso izay hazandrano azo voalohany, ka rehefa sokafanao ny vavany, dia hahita vola sekely eo ianao; dia raiso izany, ka omeo azy ho avy amiko sy ianao.

²⁶Peter saith to him, `From the strangers.` Jesus said to him, `Then are the sons free;

²⁷Nefa andrao isika manafintohina azy, dia mankanesa ao amin'ny ranomasina ianao, ka manjonoa; ary raiso izay hazandrano azo voalohany, ka rehefa sokafanao ny vavany, dia hahita vola sekely eo ianao; dia raiso izany, ka omeo azy ho avy amiko sy ianao.

²⁷but, that we may not cause them to stumble, having gone to the sea, cast a hook, and the fish that hath come up first take thou up, and having opened its mouth, thou shalt find a stater, that having taken, give to them for me and thee.`
