¹Ary nony maraina ny andro, ny lohan'ny mpisorona rehetra sy ny loholona dia niara-nihevitra hiampanga an'i Jesosy mba hamonoany Azy.

¹And morning having come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus, so as to put him to death;

²Ary rehefa nafatony Izy, dia nentiny ka natolony an'i Pilato governora.

²and having bound him, they did lead away, and delivered him up to Pontius Pilate, the governor.

³Ary Jodasy, ilay namadika Azy, raha nahita fa nohelohina Jesosy, dia nanenina ka namerina ny sekely volafotsy telo-polo tamin'ny lohan'ny mpisorona sy ny loholona

³Then Judas — he who delivered him up — having seen that he was condemned, having repented, brought back the thirty silverlings to the chief priests, and to the elders, saying,

⁴ka nanao hoe: Nanota aho, satria namadika rà marina. Fa hoy ireo: Ahoanay izany? fa asa anao.

⁴`I did sin, having delivered up innocent blood;` and they said, `What — to us? thou shalt see!`

⁵Ary nony natsipiny teo amin'ny tempoly ny vola, dia niala izy ka lasa nandeha, dia nanao tadimody ary nananton-tena, ka dia maty.

⁵and having cast down the silverlings in the sanctuary, he departed, and having gone away, he did strangle himself.

⁶Ary ny lohan'ny mpisorona nandray ny vola ka nanao hoe: Tsy mety raha alatsaka ao amin'ny rakitry ny tempoly io, fa vidin-drà.

⁶And the chief priests having taken the silverlings, said, `It is not lawful to put them to the treasury, seeing it is the price of blood;`

⁷Ary nony niara-nihevitra izy, dia namidiny ny sahan'ny mpanefy vilany ny vola ho fandevenam-bahiny.

⁷and having taken counsel, they bought with them the field of the potter, for the burial of strangers;

⁸Koa izany no anaovana ny anaran'izany saha izany mandraka androany hoe Sahan-drà.

⁸therefore was that field called, `Field of blood,` unto this day.

⁹Ary tamin'izany dia tanteraka izay nampilazaina an'i Jeremia mpaminany hoe: Dia nalainy ny sekely volafotsy telo-polo, vidin'ilay notombanana, dia ilay notombanan'ny Zanak'Isiraely,[Na: Nohajaina]

⁹Then was fulfilled that spoken through Jeremiah the prophet, saying, `And I took the thirty silverlings, the price of him who hath been priced, whom they of the sons of Israel did price,

¹⁰ka nomeny hamidy ny sahan'ny mpanefy vilany izany, araka izay efa nandidian'i Jehovah ahy (Jer. 18. 2; Zak. 11. 13).

¹⁰and gave them for the field of the potter, as the Lord did appoint to me.`

¹¹Ary Jesosy nitsangana teo anatrehan'ny governora; ary ny governora nanontany Azy ka nanao hoe: Hianao va no Mpanjakan'ny Jiosy? Dia hoy Jesosy taminy: Voalazanao.

¹¹And Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor did question him, saying, `Art thou the king of the Jews!` And Jesus said to him, `Thou sayest.`

¹²Ary raha nampangain'ny lohan'ny mpisorona mbamin'ny loholona Izy, dia tsy namaly akory.

¹²And in his being accused by the chief priests and the elders, he did not answer any thing,

¹³dia hoy Pilato taminy: Tsy renao va izany zavatra maro iampangany Anao izany?

¹³then saith Pilate to him, `Dost thou not hear how many things they witness against thee?`

¹⁴Fa tsy namaly azy Izy na dia indraim-bava akory aza, ka dia gaga indrindra ny governora.

¹⁴And he did not answer him, not even to one word, so that the governor did wonder greatly.

¹⁵Ary isaky ny tonga ny andro firavoravoana dia fanaon'ny governora ny mandefa mpifatotra anankiray ho an'ny vahoaka, araka izay tiany.

¹⁵And at the feast the governor had been accustomed to release one to the multitude, a prisoner, whom they willed,

¹⁶Ary tamin'izany dia nisy mpifatotra malaza atao hoe Barabasy.

¹⁶and they had then a noted prisoner, called Barabbas,

¹⁷Koa nony tafangona teo ny olona, dia hoy Pilato taminy: Iza moa no tianareo halefako ho anareo? Barabasy, sa Jesosy, Izay atao hoe Kristy?

¹⁷they therefore having been gathered together, Pilate said to them, `Whom will ye I shall release to you? Barabbas or Jesus who is called Christ?`

¹⁸Fa fantany fa fialonana no nanoloran'ireo Azy.

¹⁸for he had known that because of envy they had delivered him up.

¹⁹Ary raha nipetraka teo amin'ny fitsarana izy, ny vadiny dia naniraka hankeo aminy ka nanao hoe: Aza manao na inona na inona amin'izany Lehilahy marina izany, fa nampahory ahy be ihany ny nanofisako Azy any naraina.

¹⁹And as he is sitting on the tribunal, his wife sent unto him, saying, `Nothing — to thee and to that righteous one, for many things did I suffer to-day in a dream because of him.`

²⁰Ary ny lohan'ny mpisorona mbamin'ny loholona nitaona ny vahoaka mba hangataka an'i Barabasy ary hamono an'i Jesosy.

²⁰And the chief priests and the elders did persuade the multitudes that they might ask for themselves Barabbas, and might destroy Jesus;

²¹Fa ny governora namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Iza moa amin'izy roa lahy no tianareo halefako ho anareo? Dia hoy izy: Barabasy.

²¹and the governor answering said to them, `Which of the two will ye [that] I shall release to you?` And they said, `Barabbas.`

²²Hoy Pilato taminy: Ka ahoana kosa ary no hataoko amin'i Jesosy, Izay atao hoe Kristy? Dia hoy izy rehetra: Aoka hohomboana amin'ny hazo fijaliana Izy.

²²Pilate saith to them, `What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?` They all say to him, `Let be crucified!`

²³Fa hoy ny governora: Inona ary no ratsy nataony? Fa vao mainka niantsoantso izy ka nanao hoe: Aoka hohomboana amin'ny hazo fijaliana Izy!

²³And the governor said, `Why, what evil did he?` and they were crying out the more, saying, `Let be crucified.`

²⁴Ary raha hitan'i Pilato, fa tsy nahaleo ditra aza izy, fa vao mainka nandroso ihany aza ny tabataba, dia naka rano izy ka nanasa tanana teo anatrehan'ny vahoaka ary nanao hoe: Afaka amin'ny ran'ity Lehilahy marina ity aho, fa asa anareo.

²⁴And Pilate having seen that it profiteth nothing, but rather a tumult is made, having taken water, he did wash the hands before the multitude, saying, `I am innocent from the blood of this righteous one; ye — ye shall see;`

²⁵Ary ny olona rehetra dia namaly ka nanao hoe: Aoka ny ràny ho aminay mbamin'ny zanakay.

²⁵and all the people answering said, `His blood [is] upon us, and upon our children!`

²⁶Ary dia nandefa an'i Barabasy ho an'ny olona izy; fa Jesosy nasainy nokapohina, dia natolony mba hohomboana tamin'ny hazo fijaliana.[Gr. dia nokapohiny; ny teny Grika milaza ny nokapohina tamin'ny fikapohana hoditra lehibe nisy varahina]

²⁶Then did he release to them Barabbas, and having scourged Jesus, he delivered [him] up that he may be crucified;

²⁷Ary ny miaramilan'ny governora dia nitondra an'i Jesosy ho ao anati-rova sady nanangona ny miaramila namany rehetra ho eo aminy.[Gr. pretoria]

²⁷then the soldiers of the governor having taken Jesus to the Praetorium, did gather to him all the band;

²⁸Ary rehefa nanala ny fitafiany, dia nanafy Azy lamba jaky izy.

²⁸and having unclothed him, they put around him a crimson cloak,

²⁹Ary nandrandrana satroka tsilo izy, ka nasatrony ny lohany, ary nampitaniny volotara ny tànany ankavanana, dia nandohalika teo anatrehany izy ka naneso Azy hoe: Arahaba, ry Mpanjakan'ny Jiosy!

²⁹and having plaited him a crown out of thorns they put [it] on his head, and a reed in his right hand, and having kneeled before him, they were mocking him, saying, `Hail, the king of the Jews.`

³⁰Dia nororany Izy, ary nalainy ny volotara ka nokapohiny ny lohany.

³⁰And having spit on him, they took the reed, and were smiting on his head;

³¹Ary rehefa naneso Azy izy, dia nanala ilay lamba taminy, ka nampitafiny Azy indray ny fitafiany, ary dia nentiny Izy mba hohomboana amin'ny hazo fijaliana.

³¹and when they had mocked him, they took off from him the cloak, and put on him his own garments, and led him away to crucify [him].

³²Ary raha nandeha izy, dia nahita lehilahy Kyreniana anankiray, atao hoe Simona, ka izy notereny hitondra ny hazo fijalian'i Jesosy.

³²And coming forth, they found a man, a Cyrenian, by name Simon: him they impressed that he might bear his cross;

³³Ary rehefa tonga teo amin'ny tany atao hoe Golgota izy, izany hoe Ikarandoha,

³³and having come to a place called Golgotha, that is called Place of a Skull,

³⁴dia nomeny divay miharo afero Izy hosotroiny; ary nony nanandrana izany Izy, dia tsy nety nisotro.

³⁴they gave him to drink vinegar mixed with gall, and having tasted, he would not drink.

³⁵Ary rehefa voahombony tamin'ny hazo fijaliana Izy, dia nanaovany loka no fizàrany ny fitafiany.

³⁵And having crucified him, they divided his garments, casting a lot, that it might be fulfilled that was spoken by the prophet, `They divided my garments to themselves, and over my vesture they cast a lot;`

³⁶Ary nipetraka izy, dia niambina Azy teo.

³⁶and sitting down, they were watching him there,

³⁷Ary napetany teo ambonin'ny lohany ny soratra milaza ny nanamelohana Azy, dia izao: Ity no Jesosy, Mpanjakan'ny Jiosy.

³⁷and they put up over his head, his accusation written, `This is Jesus, the king of the Jews.`

³⁸Ary nisy jiolahy roa nohomboana tamin'ny hazo fijaliana teo an-daniny roa, ny anankiray teo amin'ny ankavanany, ary ny anankiray teo amin'ny ankaviany.

³⁸Then crucified with him are two robbers, one on the right hand, and one on the left,

³⁹Ary izay nandalo dia niteny ratsy Azy, sady nihifikifi-doha[Gr. nanao blasfemia; izahao 9. 3]

³⁹and those passing by were speaking evil of him, wagging their heads,

⁴⁰ka nanao hoe: Ry Ilay mandrava ny tempoly sy manangana azy amin'ny hateloana, vonjeo ny tenanao. Raha Zanak'Andriamanitra Hianao, midina hiala amin'ny hazo fijaliana.

⁴⁰and saying, `Thou that art throwing down the sanctuary, and in three days building [it], save thyself; if Son thou art of God, come down from the cross.`

⁴¹Ary dia naneso toy izany koa ny lohan'ny mpisorona mbamin'ny mpanora-dalàna sy ny loholona ka nanao hoe:

⁴¹And in like manner also the chief priests mocking, with the scribes and elders, said,

⁴²Ny sasany novonjeny; fa ny tenany tsy hainy vonjena. Mpanjakan'ny Isiraely Izy, aoka hidina hiala amin'ny hazo fijaliana Izy ankehitriny, dia hino Azy izahay;

⁴²`Others he saved; himself he is not able to save! If he be King of Israel, let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe him;

⁴³natoky an'Andriamanitra Izy, aoka Izy hamonjy Azy ankehitriny, raha ankasitrahany Izy (Sal. 22. 8), satria hoy Izy: Zanak'Andriamanitra Aho.

⁴³he hath trusted on God, let Him now deliver him, if He wish him, because he said — Son of God I am;`

⁴⁴Ary nandatsa Azy toy izany koa ireo jiolahy niaraka nohomboana taminy tamin'ny hazo fijaliana.

⁴⁴with the same also the robbers, who were crucified with him, were reproaching him.

⁴⁵Ary hatramin'ny ora fahenina ka hatramin'ny ora fahasivy dia maizina ny tany rehetra.

⁴⁵And from the sixth hour darkness came over all the land unto the ninth hour,

⁴⁶Ary nony tokony ho tamin'ny ora fahasivy, dia niantso tamin'ny feo mahery Jesosy ka nanao hoe: Ely, Ely, lamà sabaktany? izany hoe: Andriamanitro ô, Andriamanitro ô, nahoana no dia mahafoy Ahy Hianao? (Sal. 22. 1).

⁴⁶and about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a great voice, saying, `Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?` that is, `My God, my God, why didst Thou forsake me?`

⁴⁷Ary ny sasany tamin'izay nijanona teo, raha nandre izany, dia nanao hoe: Miantso an'i Elia Ilehio.

⁴⁷And certain of those standing there having heard, said — `Elijah he doth call;`

⁴⁸Ary niaraka tamin'izay ny anankiray teo aminy dia nihazakazaha ka nandray sipaonjy, ary rehefa natsobony tamin'ny vinaingitra izany ka notohiziny tamin'ny volotara, dia natohony hotsentsefin'i Jesosy.

⁴⁸and immediately, one of them having run, and having taken a spunge, having filled [it] with vinegar, and having put [it] on a reed, was giving him to drink,

⁴⁹Fa ny sasany kosa nanao hoe: Aoka hoe hizahantsika na ho avy hamonjy Azy Elia, na tsia.

⁴⁹but the rest said, `Let alone, let us see if Elijah doth come — about to save him.`

⁵⁰Ary rehefa niantso tamin'ny feo mahery indray Jesosy, dia nanolotra ny fanahiny.

⁵⁰And Jesus having again cried with a great voice, yielded the spirit;

⁵¹Ary, indro, ny efitra lamba tao amin'ny tempoly dia triatra nizara roa hatrany ambony ka hatrany ambany; dia nihorohoro ny tany, ka nitresaka ny vatolampy;

⁵¹and lo, the vail of the sanctuary was rent in two from top unto bottom, and the earth did quake, and the rocks were rent,

⁵²ary nisokatra ny fasana, ka maro ny fatin'ny olona masina izay efa nodi-mandry no natsangana,

⁵²and the tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who have fallen asleep, arose,

⁵³ka nivoaka avy tao amin'ny fasana ireo taorian'ny nitsanganan'i Jesosy, dia nankao amin'ny Tanàna Masina ka niseho tamin'ny maro.[Na:ary taorin',etc]

⁵³and having come forth out of the tombs after his rising, they went into the holy city, and appeared to many.

⁵⁴Ary ny kapiteny sy ny fehiny, izay niambina an'i Jesosy, raha nahita ny horohorontany mbamin'izay zavatra tonga teo, dia raiki-tahotra indrindra ka nanao hoe: Marina tokoa fa Zanak'Andriamanitra io Lehilahy io.

⁵⁴And the centurion, and those with him watching Jesus, having seen the earthquake, and the things that were done, were exceedingly afraid, saying, `Truly this was God`s Son.`

⁵⁵Ary nisy vehivavy maro nitsinjo teny lavitra eny, izay nanaraka an'i Jesosy hatrany Galilia ka nanompo Azy.

⁵⁵And there were there many women beholding from afar, who did follow Jesus from Galilee, ministering to him,

⁵⁶Isan'ireny Maria Magdalena sy Maria, renin'i Jakoba sy Josesy, ary ny renin'ny zanak'i Zebedio.

⁵⁶among whom was Mary the Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and of Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

⁵⁷Ary nony hariva ny andro, dia avy ny lehilahy manan-karena anankiray, avy any Arimatia, ny anarany atao hoe Josefa, ary izy koa dia mpianatr'i Jesosy.

⁵⁷And evening having come, there came a rich man, from Arimathea, named Joseph, who also himself was discipled to Jesus,

⁵⁸Izany lehilahy izany dia nankao amin'i Pilato ka nangataka ny fatin'i Jesosy. Dia nasain'i Pilato homena azy izany.

⁵⁸he having gone near to Pilate, asked for himself the body of Jesus; then Pilate commanded the body to be given back.

⁵⁹Ary rehefa nalain'i Josefa ny faty ka nofonosiny hariry madinika madio,

⁵⁹And having taken the body, Joseph wrapped it in clean linen,

⁶⁰dia naleviny tao amin'ny fasany vaovao izay efa nolavahany tamin'ny vatolampy; ary rehefa nanakodia vato lehibe ho eo amin'ny varavaran'ny fasana izy, dia lasa nandeha.

⁶⁰and laid it in his new tomb, that he hewed in the rock, and having rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, he went away;

⁶¹Ary tao Maria Magdalena sy ilay Maria anankiray ka nipetraka tandrifin'ny fasana.

⁶¹and there were there Mary the Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over-against the sepulchre.

⁶²Ary nony ampitson'ny andro fiomanana, dia nivory nankeo amin'i Pilato ny lohan'ny mpisorona sy ny Fariseo

⁶²And on the morrow that is after the preparation, were gathered together the chief priests, and the Pharisees, unto Pilate,

⁶³ka nanao hoe: Tompoko, tsaroanay fa iny mpamitaka iny, fony Izy mbola velona, dia nanao hoe: Raha afaka hateloana, dia hitsangana Aho.

⁶³saying, `Sir, we have remembered that that deceiver said while yet living, After three days I do rise;

⁶⁴Koa asaovy hambenana mafy ny fasana mandra-pahatongan'ny andro fahatelo, fandrao avy ny mpianany ka mangalatra Azy, dia hilaza amin'ny olona hoe: Efa natsangana tamin'ny maty Izy; ka dia ho ratsy ny fitaka farany noho ny voalohany.

⁶⁴command, then, the sepulchre to be made secure till the third day, lest his disciples, having come by night, may steal him away, and may say to the people, He rose from the dead, and the last deceit shall be worse than the first.`

⁶⁵Hoy Pilato taminy: Makà mpiambina ka mandehana, ary ataovy mafy araka izay hainareo ny fiambenana.Ary nony lasa izy, dia nalatsany ny mpiambina hiambina mafy ny fasana, rehefa nasiany tombo-kase ny vato.

⁶⁵And Pilate said to them, `Ye have a watch, go away, make secure — as ye have known;`

⁶⁶Ary nony lasa izy, dia nalatsany ny mpiambina hiambina mafy ny fasana, rehefa nasiany tombo-kase ny vato.

⁶⁶and they, having gone, did make the sepulchre secure, having sealed the stone, together with the watch.
