¹Then six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, who had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.

¹Ary rehefa henemana no sisa tsy tonga ny Paska, Jesosy dia tonga tao Betania, izay nitoeran'i Lazarosy, ilay natsangany tamin'ny maty.

²So they made him a supper there. Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with him.

²Dia nanao fanasana ho an'i Jesosy tao izy; ary Marta no nanompo; fa Lazarosy no anankiray tamin'izay niara-nipetraka nihinana taminy.

³Mary, therefore, took a pound a Roman pound of 12 ounces, or about 340 grams of ointment of pure nard, very precious, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment.

³Ary Maria, rehefa naka menaka manitra nisy narda sady tsara no saro-bidy, lanjan'iray livatra, dia nanosotra ny tongotr'i Jesosy sy namaoka ny tongony tamin'ny volondohany; ary feno ny hanitry ny menaka ny trano.

⁴Then Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, one of his disciples, who would betray him, said,

⁴Ary hoy Jodasy Iskariota, anankiray tamin'ny mpianany, ilay efa hamadika Azy:

⁵“Why wasn’t this ointment sold for three hundred denarii, 300 denarii was about a year’s wages for an agricultural laborer. and given to the poor?”

⁵Nahoana io menaka io no tsy namidy denaria telon-jato ka nomena ny malahelo?

⁶Now he said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and having the money box, used to steal what was put into it.

⁶Ary izy no nilaza izany, tsy noho ny fiahiany ny malahelo, fa satria mpangalatra izy sady nitondra ny kitapo ka naka izay tao anatiny.

⁷But Jesus said, “Leave her alone. She has kept this for the day of my burial.

⁷Dia hoy Jesosy: Avelao izy, mba hotehiriziny ho amin'ny andro hanamboarany Ahy halevina io.

⁸ For you always have the poor with you, but you don’t always have me.”

⁸Fa ny malahelo dia etỳ aminareo mandrakariva; fa Izaho tsy mba ho etỳ aminareo mandrakariva.

⁹A large crowd therefore of the Jews learned that he was there, and they came, not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.

⁹Ary ny vahoaka betsaka tamin'ny Jiosy nahalala fa teo Izy, dia tonga teo, nefa tsy noho Jesosy ihany, fa mba hahita an'i Lazarosy koa, ilay natsangany tamin'ny maty.

¹⁰But the chief priests conspired to put Lazarus to death also,

¹⁰Fa nihendry hahafaty an'i Lazarosy koa ny lohan'ny mpisorona,

¹¹because on account of him many of the Jews went away and believed in Jesus.

¹¹satria izy no nialan'ny maro tamin'ny Jiosy ka ninoany an'i Jesosy.

¹²On the next day a great multitude had come to the feast. When they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

¹²Ary nony ampitson'iny ny vahoaka betsaka, izay tonga ho amin'ny andro firavoravoana, rehefa nahare fa hankany Jerosalema Jesosy,

¹³they took the branches of the palm trees, and went out to meet him, and cried out, “Hosanna “Hosanna” means “save us” or “help us, we pray.” ! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, Psalm 118:25-26 the King of Israel!”

¹³dia naka sampan-drofia ka nivoaka hitsena Azy sady niantso hoe: Hosana! Isaorana anie ny Mpanjakan'ny Isiraely, Ilay avy amin'ny anaran'i Jehovah (Sal. 118, 26).

¹⁴Jesus, having found a young donkey, sat on it. As it is written,

¹⁴Ary Jesosy nahita zana-boriky anankiray, dia nitaingina azy, araka ny voasoratra hoe:

¹⁵“Don’t be afraid, daughter of Zion. Behold, your King comes, sitting on a donkey’s colt.” Zechariah 9:9

¹⁵Aza matahotra, ry Ziona zanakavavy; indro, avy ny Mpanjakanao mitaingina zana-boriky (Zak. 9. 9).

¹⁶His disciples didn’t understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about him, and that they had done these things to him.

¹⁶Izany zavatra izany dia tsy fantatry ny mpianany tamin'ny voalohany; fa rehefa niditra tamin'ny voninahiny Jesosy, dia vao nahatsiaro izy fa voasoratra hilaza Azy izany zavatra izany, ary efa nataony taminy izany.

¹⁷The multitude therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from the dead, was testifying about it.

¹⁷Ary nanambara Azy ny vahoaka izay teny aminy, fony Izy niantso an'i Lazarosy hivoaka tamin'ny fasana ka nanangana azy tamin'ny maty.

¹⁸For this cause also the multitude went and met him, because they heard that he had done this sign.

¹⁸Ary izany koa no nitsenan'ny vahoaka Azy, satria efa reny fa nanao izany famantarana izany Izy.

¹⁹The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, “See how you accomplish nothing. Behold, the world has gone after him.”

¹⁹Ary tamin'izany ny Fariseo dia nifampilaza hoe: Hitanareo fa tsy mahefa na inona na inona akory ianareo; indro, efa lasa manaraka Azy avokoa izao tontolo izao.

²⁰Now there were certain Greeks among those that went up to worship at the feast.

²⁰Ary nisy Grika sasany tamin'izay niakatra hivavaka tamin'ny andro firavoravoana,

²¹These, therefore, came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, “Sir, we want to see Jesus.”

²¹ary izy ireo nankany amin'i Filipo avy any Betsaida any Galilia, dia nangataka taminy ka nanao hoe: Tompoko, mba ta-hahita an'i Jesosy izahay.

²²Philip came and told Andrew, and in turn, Andrew came with Philip, and they told Jesus.

²²Dia lasa Filipo nilaza tamin'i Andrea; ary Andrea sy Filipo lasa nilaza tamin'i Jesosy.

²³Jesus answered them, “The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.

²³Ary Jesosy namaly azy hoe: Tonga ny fotoana hankalazana ny Zanak'olona.

²⁴ Most certainly I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains by itself alone. But if it dies, it bears much fruit.

²⁴Lazaiko aminareo marina dia marina tokoa: Raha tsy latsaka ao amin'ny tany ny voambary ka maty, dia mitoetra foana izy; fa raha maty kosa izy, dia hahavokatra be.

²⁵ He who loves his life will lose it. He who hates his life in this world will keep it to eternal life.

²⁵Izay tia ny ainy no mahavery izany; fa izay mankahala ny ainy amin'izao fiainana izao no hiaro izany ho amin'ny fiainana mandrakizay.

²⁶ If anyone serves me, let him follow me. Where I am, there will my servant also be. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.

²⁶Raha misy olona manompo Ahy, dia aoka izy hanaraka Ahy, ary izay itoerako, dia ao koa no hitoeran'ny mpanompoko; raha misy olona manompo Ahy, dia hankalaza azy ny Ray.

²⁷ “Now my soul is troubled. What shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this time?’ But for this cause I came to this time.

²⁷Ankehitriny mangorohoro ny fanahiko; ary ahoana no holazaiko: Ray ô, vonjeo Aho ho afaka amin'ity ora ity? nefa izao no nihaviako ho amin'ity ora ity;

²⁸ Father, glorify your name!” Then there came a voice out of the sky, saying, “I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.”

²⁸Ray ô, mankalazà ny anaranao. Dia nisy feo avy tany an-danitra nanao hoe: Efa nankalaza azy Aho, ary hankalaza azy indray.

²⁹The multitude therefore, who stood by and heard it, said that it had thundered. Others said, “An angel has spoken to him.”

²⁹Ary ny vahoaka izay nitsangana teo ka nahare dia nanao hoe: Kotrokorana izany. Hoy ny sasany: Anjely no niteny taminy.

³⁰Jesus answered, “This voice hasn’t come for my sake, but for your sakes.

³⁰Jesosy namaly ka nanao hoe: Tsy noho Izaho no nahatongavan'izany feo izany, fa noho ianareo.

³¹ Now is the judgment of this world. Now the prince of this world will be cast out.

³¹Tonga ankehitriny ny fitsarana izao tontolo izao; ankehitriny ny andrianan'izao tontolo izao no horoahina.

³² And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.”

³²Ary Izaho, raha asandratra hiala amin'ny tany, dia hitaona ny olona rehetra hanatona Ahy.

³³But he said this, signifying by what kind of death he should die.

³³Izany no nolazainy hanambara izay fahafatesana efa hiaretany.

³⁴The multitude answered him, “We have heard out of the law that the Christ remains forever. Isaiah 9:7; Daniel 2:44 (but see also Isaiah 53:8) How do you say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up?’ Who is this Son of Man?”

³⁴Dia namaly Azy ny vahoaka ka nanao hoe: Efa renay tamin'ny lalàna fa Kristy haharitra mandrakizay; koa ahoana no ilazanao hoe: Tsy maintsy hasandratra ny Zanak'olona? Iza moa izany Zanak'olona izany?

³⁵Jesus therefore said to them, “Yet a little while the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, that darkness doesn’t overtake you. He who walks in the darkness doesn’t know where he is going.

³⁵Dia hoy Jesosy taminy: Mbola kely ihany no hitoeran'ny mazava aminareo. Mandehana, raha mbola manana ny mazava ianareo, mba tsy hahatratra anareo ny maizina; fa izay mandeha amin'ny maizina dia tsy mahalala izay alehany.

³⁶ While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become children of light.” Jesus said these things, and he departed and hid himself from them.

³⁶Raha mbola manana ny mazava ianareo, dia minoa ny mazava, mba ho tonga zanaky ny mazava. Rehefa nilaza izany Jesosy, dia niala Izy ka niery azy.

³⁷But though he had done so many signs before them, yet they didn’t believe in him,

³⁷Nefa na dia efa nanao izany famantarana betsaka izany teo anatrehany aza Izy, dia tsy mba nino Azy ireo,

³⁸that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke, “Lord, who has believed our report? To whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?” Isaiah 53:1

³⁸mba hahatanteraka ny teny nataon'Isaia mpaminany hoe: Tompoko, iza no nino ny teny nampitondraina anay? Ary iza no nampisehoana ny sandrin'i Jehovah? (Isa. 53. 1.)

³⁹For this cause they couldn’t believe, for Isaiah said again,

³⁹Izany no tsy nahaizany nino, satria hoy koa Isaia:

⁴⁰“He has blinded their eyes and he hardened their heart, lest they should see with their eyes, and perceive with their heart, and would turn, and I would heal them.” Isaiah 6:10

⁴⁰Efa nanajamba ny masony sy nanamafy ny fony Izy, Mba tsy hahita ny masony, na hahalala ny fony, Dia tsy hibebaka izy, Ka tsy hahasitrana azy Aho (Isa. 6. 10).

⁴¹Isaiah said these things when he saw his glory, and spoke of him. Isaiah 6:1

⁴¹Izany teny izany no nolazain'Isaia, satria nahita ny voninahiny izy ka nilaza Azy.

⁴²Nevertheless even of the rulers many believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they didn’t confess it, so that they wouldn’t be put out of the synagogue,

⁴²Kanefa maro tamin'ny mpanapaka aza no nino Azy; nefa noho ny Fariseo dia tsy nanaiky ireo, fandrao havoaka hiala amin'ny synagoga.

⁴³for they loved men’s praise more than God’s praise.

⁴³Fa tia ny voninahitra avy amin'ny olona izy ireo, fa tsy ny voninahitra avy amin'Andriamanitra.

⁴⁴Jesus cried out and said, “Whoever believes in me, believes not in me, but in him who sent me.

⁴⁴Ary Jesosy niantso ka nanao hoe: Izay mino Ahy, dia tsy Izaho no inoany, fa Izay naniraka Ahy.

⁴⁵ He who sees me sees him who sent me.

⁴⁵Ary izay mahita Ahy dia mahita Izay naniraka Ahy.

⁴⁶ I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in me may not remain in the darkness.

⁴⁶Izaho tonga amin'izao tontolo izao ho fahazavana, mba tsy hitoetra ao amin'ny maizina izay rehetra mino Ahy.

⁴⁷ If anyone listens to my sayings, and doesn’t believe, I don’t judge him. For I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.

⁴⁷Ary raha misy mandre ny teniko ka tsy mitandrina, Izaho tsy mitsara azy; fa tsy tonga hitsara izao tontolo izao Aho, fa hamonjy izao tontolo izao.

⁴⁸ He who rejects me, and doesn’t receive my sayings, has one who judges him. The word that I spoke, the same will judge him in the last day.

⁴⁸Izay manda Ahy ka tsy mandray ny teniko, dia manana izay mitsara azy: ny teny izay nolazaiko, izany ihany no hitsara azy amin'ny andro farany,

⁴⁹ For I spoke not from myself, but the Father who sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.

⁴⁹satria Izaho tsy niteny ho Ahy, fa ny Ray Izay naniraka Ahy, Izy no nandidy Ahy izay holazaiko sy izay hotoriko.Ary fantatro fa fiainana mandrakizay ny didiny; koa izay lazaiko dia lazaiko araka izay nolazain'ny Ray tamiko.

⁵⁰ I know that his commandment is eternal life. The things therefore which I speak, even as the Father has said to me, so I speak.”

⁵⁰Ary fantatro fa fiainana mandrakizay ny didiny; koa izay lazaiko dia lazaiko araka izay nolazain'ny Ray tamiko.
