¹Ary Jesosy dia nentin'ny Fanahy nankany an-efitra, mba halain'ny devoly fanahy.[Devoly = mpiampanga, na mpanendrikendrika]

¹Then Jesus was led up to the wilderness by the Spirit, to be tempted by the Devil,

²Ary nifady hanina efa-polo andro sy efa-polo alina Izy, koa nony afaka izany, dia noana.

²and having fasted forty days and forty nights, afterwards he did hunger.

³Dia nanatona ny mpaka fanahy ka nanao taminy hoe: Raha Zanak'Andriamanitra Hianao, dia teneno ho tonga mofo ireto vato ireto.

³And the Tempter having come to him said, `If Son thou art of God — speak that these stones may become loaves.`

⁴Fa Izy kosa namaly ka nanao hoe: Voasoratra hoe: Tsy mofo ihany no hiveloman'ny olona, fa ny teny rehetra izay aloaky ny vavan'Andriamanitra (Deo. 8. 3).

⁴But he answering said, `It hath been written, Not upon bread alone doth man live, but upon every word coming forth from the mouth of God.`

⁵Ary ny devoly nitondra Azy nankany amin'ny tanàna masina ka nampitoetra Azy teo an-tampon ny tempoly,

⁵Then doth the Devil take him to the [holy] city, and doth set him on the pinnacle of the temple,

⁶dia nanao taminy hoe: Raha Zanak'Andriamanitra Hianao, mianjerà any ambany any; fa voasoratra hoe: Izy handidy ny anjeliny ny aminao; Ary eny an-tànany no hitondran'ireo Anao, fandrao ho tafintohina amin'ny vato ny tongotrao (Sal. 91. 11, 12).

⁶and saith to him, `If Son thou art of God — cast thyself down, for it hath been written, that, His messengers He shall charge concerning thee, and on hands they shall bear thee up, that thou mayest not dash on a stone thy foot.`

⁷Hoy Jesosy taminy: Voasoratra hoe koa: Aza maka fanahy an'i Jehovah Andriamanitrao (Deo. 6. 16).

⁷Jesus said to him again, `It hath been written, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.`

⁸Ary ny devoly nitondra Azy Indray nankany an-tendrombohitra avo dia avo ka naneho Azy ny fanjakana rehetra amin'izao tontolo izao mbamin'ny voninahiny,

⁸Again doth the Devil take him to a very high mount, and doth shew to him all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them,

⁹dia nanao taminy hoe: Izao rehetra izao dia homeko Anao, raha hiankohoka eto anatrehako Hianao.

⁹and saith to him, `All these to thee I will give, if falling down thou mayest bow to me.`

¹⁰Fa hoy Jesosy taminy: Mandehana ianao, ry Satana: fa voasoratra hoe; Jehovah Andriamanitrao no hiankohofanao, ary Izy irery ihany no hotompoinao (Deo. 6. 13).

¹⁰Then saith Jesus to him, `Go — Adversary, for it hath been written, The Lord thy God thou shalt bow to, and Him only thou shalt serve.`

¹¹Dia nandao Azy ny devoly, ary indreo, nisy anjely tonga ka nanompo Azy.

¹¹Then doth the Devil leave him, and lo, messengers came and were ministering to him.

¹²Ary nony ren'i Jesosy fa efa voasambotra Jaona, dia lasa nankany Galilia Izy.

¹²And Jesus having heard that John was delivered up, did withdraw to Galilee,

¹³Ary nony niala tany Nazareta Izy, dia nankany Kapernaomy, izay ao amoron-dranomasina, ao amin'ny zara-tanin'ny Zebolona sy ny Naftaly, ka nonina tao Izy,

¹³and having left Nazareth, having come, he dwelt at Capernaum that is by the sea, in the borders of Zebulun and Naphtalim,

¹⁴mba hahatanteraka izay nampilazaina an'Isaia mpaminany hoe:

¹⁴that it might be fulfilled that was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,

¹⁵Ny tanin'ny Zebolona sy ny tanin'ny Naftaly, Ao amin'ny tany amoron-dranomasina, any an-dafin'i Jordana, Galilia, tanin'ny jentilisa,

¹⁵`Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations! —

¹⁶Ny olona izay nitoetra tao amin'ny maizina dia nahita mazava lehibe; Ary izay nitoetra tao amin'ny tany aloky ny fahafatesana no niposahan'ny fahazavana (Isa. 8. 23; 9. 1).

¹⁶the people that is sitting in darkness saw a great light, and to those sitting in a region and shadow of death — light arose to them.`

¹⁷Ary tamin'izany andro izany dia nanomboka nitori-teny Jesosy ka nanao hoe: Mibebaha ianareo, fa efa akaiky ny fanjakan'ny lanitra.

¹⁷From that time began Jesus to proclaim and to say, `Reform ye, for come nigh hath the reign of the heavens.`

¹⁸Ary nony nitsangantsangana teny amoron'ny Ranomasin'i Galilia Jesosy, dia nahita olona mirahalahy, dia Simona, izay atao hoe Petera, sy Andrea rahalahiny, nanarato teny amin'ny ranomasina; fa mpanarato izy.

¹⁸And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brothers, Simon named Peter and Andrew his brother, casting a drag into the sea — for they were fishers —

¹⁹Dia hoy Jesosy taminy: Andeha hanaraka Ahy, fa hataoko mpanarato olona ianareo.

¹⁹and he saith to them, `Come ye after me, and I will make you fishers of men,`

²⁰Dia nandao ny harato niaraka tamin'izay izy ka nanaraka Azy.

²⁰and they, immediately, having left the nets, did follow him.

²¹Ary raha mbola nandroso Izy, dia nahita olona mirahalahy hafa koa, dia Jakoba zanak'i Zebedio, sy Jaona rahalahiny, izay niara-nipetraka tamin'i Zebedio rainy teo an-tsambokely ka namboatra ny haratony; ary niantso azy mirahalahy Izy.

²¹And having advanced thence, he saw other two brothers, James of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, refitting their nets, and he called them,

²²Dia nandao ny sambokely sy ny rainy niaraka tamin'izay izy ka nanaraka Azy.

²²and they, immediately, having left the boat and their father, did follow him.

²³Ary Jesosy nandeha eran'i Galilia ka nampianatra tao amin'ny synagogan'ny olona teo sy nitory ny filazantsaran'ny fanjakana ary nahasitrana ny aretina rehetra mbamin'ny rofy rehetra tamin'ny olona.

²³And Jesus was going about all Galilee teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the good news of the reign, and healing every disease, and every malady among the people,

²⁴Ary niely eran'i Syria ny lazany, ka dia nentin'ny olona tany aminy ny marary rehetra, izay azon'ny aretina maro samy hafa sy ny fangirifiriana, dia ny demoniaka sy izay mararin'ny androbe ary ny mararin'ny paralysisa, ka nahasitrana ireny Izy.[Demoniaka = olona nidiran'ny demonia; izahao Mat.7.22]Dia nanaraka Azy ny vahoaka betsaka avy tany Galilia sy Dekapolisy sy Jerosalema sy Jodia ary ny avy tany an-dafin'i Jordana.

²⁴and his fame went forth to all Syria, and they brought to him all having ailments, pressed with manifold sicknesses and pains, and demoniacs, and lunatics, and paralytics, and he healed them.

²⁵Dia nanaraka Azy ny vahoaka betsaka avy tany Galilia sy Dekapolisy sy Jerosalema sy Jodia ary ny avy tany an-dafin'i Jordana.

²⁵And there followed him many multitudes from Galilee, and Decapolis, and Jerusalem, and Judea, and beyond the Jordan.
