¹Ary raha nanakaiky an'i Jerosalema izy ka tonga tao Betifaga any an-tendrombohitra Oliva, dia naniraka mpianatra roa lahy Jesosy ka nanao taminy hoe:

¹And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, and came to Bethphage, unto the mount of the Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,

²Mankanesa amin'iroa vohitra tandrifinareo iroa, ary miaraka amin'izay dia hahita boriky mifatotra sy ny zanany eo aminy ianareo; vahao izy, dia ento etỳ amiko.

²saying to them, `Go on to the village over-against you, and immediately ye shall find an ass bound, and a colt with her — having loosed, bring ye to me;

³Ary raha misy miteny anareo, dia lazao hoe: Misy raharaha analan'ny Tompo azy; ary dia havelany ho entina miaraka amin'izay izy.

³and if any one may say anything to you, ye shall say, that the lord hath need of them, and immediately he will send them.`

⁴Izany dia tonga mba hahatanteraka izay nampilazaina ny mpaminany hoe:

⁴And all this came to pass, that it might be fulfilled that was spoken through the prophet, saying,

⁵Lazao amin'i Ziona zanakavavy; Indro, ny Mpanjakanao avy ho anao, Malemy fanahy sady mitaingina boriky, Dia zanaky ny boriky miasa (Zak. 9. 9).[Gr. mitondra zioga]

⁵`Tell ye the daughter of Zion, Lo, thy king doth come to thee, meek, and mounted on an ass, and a colt, a foal of a beast of burden.`

⁶Ary dia nandeha ny mpianatra ka nanao araka izay nandidian'i Jesosy azy,

⁶And the disciples having gone and having done as Jesus commanded them,

⁷dia nentiny ny boriky sy ny zanany ary nataony teo amboniny ny lambany, ary Jesosy dia nitaingina azy.

⁷brought the ass and the colt, and did put on them their garments, and set [him] upon them;

⁸Ary ny ankabiazan'ny vahoaka dia namelatra ny lambany teny an-dalana; ary ny sasany nanapaka rantsan-kazo, dia nahahany teny an-dalana koa izany.

⁸and the very great multitude spread their own garments in the way, and others were cutting branches from the trees, and were strewing in the way,

⁹Ary ny vahoaka izay nialoha Azy sy izay nanaraka dia niantso hoe: Hosana ho an'ny Zanak'i Davida! Isaorana anie Izay avy amin'ny anaran'i Jehovah! Hosana any amin'ny avo indrindra (Sal. 118. 26).[Hosana = vonjeo re!]

⁹and the multitudes who were going before, and who were following, were crying, saying, `Hosanna to the Son of David, blessed is he who is coming in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.`

¹⁰Ary nony efa tafiditra tany Jerosalema Izy, dia nihorakoraka ny tanàna rehetra ka nanao hoe: Iza moa izao?

¹⁰And he having entered into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, `Who is this?`

¹¹Ary ny vahoaka nilaza hoe: Izao no Jesosy mpaminany Izay avy any Nazareta any Galilia.

¹¹And the multitudes said, `This is Jesus the prophet, who [is] from Nazareth of Galilee.`

¹²Ary Jesosy niditra teo an-kianjan'ny tempolin'Andriamanitra, dia nandroaka izay rehetra nivarotra sy nividy teo an-kianjan'ny tempoly ka nanjera ny latabatry ny mpanakalo vola sy ny fipetrahan'ny mpivarotra ny voromailala;

¹²And Jesus entered into the temple of God, and did cast forth all those selling and buying in the temple, and the tables of the money-changers he overturned, and the seats of those selling the doves,

¹³dia hoy Izy taminy: Efa voasoratra hoe: Ny tranoko hatao hoe trano fivavahana (Isa. lvi. 7); fa ianareo kosa manao azy ho zohy fieren'ny jiolahy (Jer. 7. 11).

¹³and he saith to them, `It hath been written, My house a house of prayer shall be called, but ye did make it a den of robbers.`

¹⁴Ary nisy jamba sy mandringa nanatona Azy teo an-kianjan'ny tempoly, dia nahasitrana azy Izy.

¹⁴And there came to him blind and lame men in the temple, and he healed them,

¹⁵Fa nony hitan'ny lohan'ny mpisorona sy ny mpanora-dalàna ny zavatra mahagaga izay nataony sy ny ankizy madinika miantso eo an-kianjan'ny tempoly ka manao hoe: Hosana ho an'ny Zanak'i Davida! - dia tezitra izy

¹⁵and the chief priests and the scribes having seen the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, `Hosanna to the Son of David,` were much displeased;

¹⁶ka nanao taminy hoe: Renao va izay lazain'ireo? Dia hoy Jesosy taminy: Eny; tsy mbola novakinareo va ny teny manao hoe: Avy amin'ny vavan'ny ankizy madinika sy ny zaza minono no nanamboaranao fiderana (Sal. 8. 2)?

¹⁶and they said to him, `Hearest thou what these say?` And Jesus saith to them, `Yes, did ye never read, that, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings Thou didst prepare praise?`

¹⁷Dia nandao azy Izy ka niala tao an-tanàna hankany Betania; ary dia nitoetra tao mandritra ny alina Izy.

¹⁷And having left them, he went forth out of the city to Bethany, and did lodge there,

¹⁸Ary nony niverina maraina hankany an-tanàna Izy, dia noana.

¹⁸and in the morning turning back to the city, he hungered,

¹⁹Ary nahita hazo aviavy anankiray teo amoron-dalana Izy, dia nankeo aminy, kanjo tsy nahita na inona na inona teo aminy, afa-tsy ravina ihany; dia hoy Izy taminy: Aza misy voa avy aminao intsony mandrakizay. Dia maina vetivety foana ilay hazo aviavy.[aviavimbazaha]

¹⁹and having seen a certain fig-tree on the way, he came to it, and found nothing in it except leaves only, and he saith to it, `No more from thee may fruit be — to the age;` and forthwith the fig-tree withered.

²⁰Ary nony hitan'ny mpianatra izany, dia gaga izy ka nanao hoe: Nanao ahoana re no dia nahamaina vetivety io aviavy io?

²⁰And the disciples having seen, did wonder, saying, `How did the fig-tree forthwith wither?`

²¹Ary Jesosy namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa: Raha manam-pinoana ianareo ka tsy miahanahana, dia tsy izao natao tamin'ny aviavy izao ihany no ho vitanareo, fa raha hiteny amin'ity tendrombohitra ity aza ianareo ka hanao hoe: Mifindrà ianao, ka mianjerà any an-dranomasina, dia ho tonga izany.

²¹And Jesus answering said to them, `Verily I say to you, If ye may have faith, and may not doubt, not only this of the fig-tree shall ye do, but even if to this mount ye may say, Be lifted up and be cast into the sea, it shall come to pass;

²²Ary na inona na inona no angatahinareo amin'ny fivavahana atao amin'ny finoana dia ho azonareo.

²²and all — as much as ye may ask in the prayer, believing, ye shall receive.`

²³Ary rehefa tafiditra teo an-kianjan'ny tempoly Jesosy ka nampianatra, dia nanatona Azy ny lohan'ny mpisorona sy ny loholona ka nanao hoe: Fahefana manao ahoana no anaovanao izao? Ary iza no nanome Anao izao fahefana izao?

²³And he having come to the temple, there came to him when teaching the chief priests and the elders of the people, saying, `By what authority dost thou do these things? and who gave thee this authority?`

²⁴Ary Jesosy namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Izaho kosa hanontany anareo zavatra iray loha, ary raha hovalianareo izany, Izaho kosa dia hilaza aminareo izay fahefana anaovako izany:

²⁴And Jesus answering said to them, `I will ask you — I also — one word, which if ye may tell me, I also will tell you by what authority I do these things;

²⁵Ny batisan'i Jaona, avy taiza moa izany? Avy tany an-danitra va, sa avy tamin'ny olona? Ary izy ireo niara-nisaina ka nanao hoe: Raha holazaintsika hoe mantsy: Avy tany an-danitra, dia hovaliany hoe isika: Ka nahoana no tsy nino azy ianareo?[Na:nieritreritra]

²⁵the baptism of John, whence was it? — from heaven, or from men?` And they were reasoning with themselves, saying, `If we should say, From heaven; he will say to us, Wherefore, then, did ye not believe him?

²⁶Ary raha holazaintsika hoe kosa: Avy tamin'ny olona, dia matahotra ny vahoaka isika, satria ataon'izy rehetra ho mpaminany Jaona.

²⁶and if we should say, From men, we fear the multitude, for all hold John as a prophet.`

²⁷Dia namaly an'i Jesosy izy ka nanao hoe: Tsy fantatray. Dia hoy Jesosy taminy: Izaho kosa tsy hilaza aminareo izay fahefana anaovako izany.

²⁷And answering Jesus they said, `We have not known.` He said to them — he also — `Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.

²⁸Fa ahoana kosa no hevitrareo? Nisy lehilahy nanana zanaka roa lahy; dia nankeo amin'ny lahimatoa izy ka nanao hoe: Anaka, andeha miasa any amin'ny tanim-boaloboko anio.

²⁸`And what think ye? A man had two children, and having come to the first, he said, Child, go, to-day be working in my vineyard.`

²⁹Fa namaly izy ka nanao hoe: Tsy handeha aho; nefa nony afaka izany, dia nanenina izy ka nandeha ihany.

²⁹And he answering said, `I will not,` but at last, having repented, he went.

³⁰Dia nankeo amin'ny faralahy izy ka niteny toy izany koa. Ary izy namaly ka nanao hoe: Handeha aho, tompoko; kanjo tsy nandeha izy.

³⁰`And having come to the second, he said in the same manner, and he answering said, I [go], sir, and went not;

³¹Ka iza moa amin'izy mirahalahy no nanao ny sitrapon'ny rainy? Hoy izy: Ny lahimatoa. Dia hoy Jesosy taminy: Lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa fa ny mpamory hetra sy ny vehivavy janga efa mialoha anareo ho amin'ny fanjakan'Andriamanitra.

³¹which of the two did the will of the father?` They say to him, `The first.` Jesus saith to them, `Verily I say to you, that the tax-gatherers and the harlots do go before you into the reign of God,

³²Fa Jaona nankany aminareo tamin'ny lalan'ny fahamarinana, nefa tsy nino azy ianareo; fa ny mpamory hetra sy ny vehivavy janga no nino azy; fa ianareo kosa, na dia efa nahita izany aza, dia mbola tsy nanenina mba hinoanareo azy.

³²for John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye did not believe him, and the tax-gatherers and the harlots did believe him, and ye, having seen, repented not at last — to believe him.

³³Mihainoa fanoharana hafa koa: Nisy lehilahy tompon-trano nanao tanim-boaloboka, dia namefy azy manodidina dia nihady famiazana teo anatiny, dia nanao tilikambo, ary dia nahofany tamin'olona mpiasa tany izany, ka nandeha ho any amin'ny tany hafa izy.

³³`Hear ye another simile: There was a certain man, a householder, who planted a vineyard, and did put a hedge round it, and digged in it a wine-press, and built a tower, and gave it out to husbandmen, and went abroad.

³⁴Ary rehefa mby akaiky ny taom-pahavokarana, dia naniraka ny mpanompony izy hankany amin'ny mpiasa tany handray ny vokatra.

³⁴`And when the season of the fruits came nigh, he sent his servants unto the husbandmen, to receive the fruits of it,

³⁵Fa ny mpiasa tany nisambotra ny mpanompony, ka ny anankiray nokapohiny, ary ny anankiray novonoiny, ary ny anankiray notorahany vato.

³⁵and the husbandmen having taken his servants, one they scourged, and one they killed, and one they stoned.

³⁶Dia naniraka mpanompo hafa koa indray izy, maro noho ny teo; fa nataony toy izany koa ireny.

³⁶`Again he sent other servants more than the first, and they did to them in the same manner.

³⁷Ary nony farany dia naniraka ny zanany hankany aminy izy ka nanao hoe: Hanaja ny zanako izy.

³⁷`And at last he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son;

³⁸Kanjo ny mpiasa tany, nony nahita ny zanaka, dia niresaka hoe: Ity no mpandova; andeha hovonointsika izy, dia ho lasantsika ny lovany.

³⁸and the husbandmen having seen the son, said among themselves, This is the heir, come, we may kill him, and may possess his inheritance;

³⁹Ary nisambotra azy izy ka namoaka azy teo ivelan'ny tanim-boaloboka, dia namono azy.

³⁹and having taken him, they cast [him] out of the vineyard, and killed him;

⁴⁰Koa raha tonga ny tompon'ny tanim-boaloboka, hataony ahoana moa izany mpiasa tany izany?

⁴⁰whenever therefore the lord of the vineyard may come, what will he do to these husbandmen?`

⁴¹Hoy izy taminy: Hataony loza tokoa ny handringanany izany olon-doza izany, ary ny tanim-boaloboka dia hahofany amin'ny mpiasa tany sasany izay hanome azy ny vokatra amin'ny fotoany avy.

⁴¹They say to him, `Evil men — he will evilly destroy them, and the vineyard will give out to other husbandmen, who will give back to him the fruits in their seasons.`

⁴²Hoy Jesosy taminy: Tsy mbola novakinareo va ny teny ao amin'ny Soratra Masina hoe: Ny vato izay nolavin'ny mpanao trano, Dia izy no efa natao fehizoro; Avy tamin'i Jehovah izao Ka mahagaga eo imasontsika? (Sal. 118. 22-23).

⁴²Jesus saith to them, `Did ye never read in the Writings, A stone that the builders disallowed, it became head of a corner; from the Lord hath this come to pass, and it is wonderful in our eyes.

⁴³Ary noho izany dia lazaiko aminareo hoe: Hesorina aminareo ny fanjakan'Andriamanitra ka homena izay firenena mahavokatra ny voany.

⁴³`Because of this I say to you, that the reign of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth its fruit;

⁴⁴Ary izay potraka amin'ity vato ity dia ho torotoro, fa na zovy na zovy no hianjerany, dia ho mongomongo.[Gr. haely toy ny vovoka]

⁴⁴and he who is falling on this stone shall be broken, and on whomsoever it may fall it will crush him to pieces.`

⁴⁵Ary rehefa ren'ny lohan'ny mpisorona sy ny Fariseo ny fanoharana nataon'i Jesosy, dia fantany fa ny tenany no nolazainy amin'izany.Dia nitady hisambotra Azy izy, saingy natahotra ny vahoaka, satria nataon'ny vahoaka ho mpaminany Jesosy.

⁴⁵And the chief priests and the Pharisees having heard his similes, knew that of them he speaketh,

⁴⁶Dia nitady hisambotra Azy izy, saingy natahotra ny vahoaka, satria nataon'ny vahoaka ho mpaminany Jesosy.

⁴⁶and seeking to lay hold on him, they feared the multitudes, seeing they were holding him as a prophet.
