¹After these things, Jesus was walking in Galilee, for he wouldn’t walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.

¹Ary rehefa afaka izany, dia nandeha tany Galilia Jesosy; fa nalain-kandeha tany Jodia Izy, satria nitady hahafaty Azy ny Jiosy.

²Now the feast of the Jews, the Feast of Booths, was at hand.

²Ary efa akaiky ny andro firavoravoan'ny Jiosy, dia ny amin'ny Tabernakely,

³His brothers therefore said to him, “Depart from here, and go into Judea, that your disciples also may see your works which you do.

³ka hoy ny rahalahiny taminy: Mialà eto, ka mandehana ho any Jodia, mba ho hitan'ny mpianatrao koa ny asa izay ataonao;

⁴For no one does anything in secret, and himself seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, reveal yourself to the world.”

⁴fa tsy misy olona manao zavatra amin'ny takona, nefa ny tenany mitady ho hita miharihary; raha manao izany zavatra izany Hianao, dia misehoa amin'izao tontolo izao. [Na: mitady ho hita fa matoky]

⁵For even his brothers didn’t believe in him.

⁵Fa na dia ny rahalahiny aza tsy nino Azy.

⁶Jesus therefore said to them, “My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.

⁶Dia hoy Jesosy taminy: Tsy mbola tonga ny fotoako; fa ny fotoanareo dia vonona lalandava.

⁷ The world can’t hate you, but it hates me, because I testify about it, that its works are evil.

⁷Tsy mahazo mankahala anareo izao tontolo izao; fa Izaho no halany, satria milaza fa ratsy ny asany.

⁸ You go up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, because my time is not yet fulfilled.”

⁸Miakara ho amin'ny andro firavoravoana ianareo; fa Izaho tsy mbola miakatra ho amin'ity andro firavoravoana ity; satria tsy mbola tonga ny fotoako.

⁹Having said these things to them, he stayed in Galilee.

⁹Ary rehefa nilaza izany teny izany taminy Izy, dia mbola nitoetra tany Galilia ihany.

¹⁰But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly, but as it were in secret.

¹⁰Fa rehefa lasa niakatra ho amin'ny andro firavoravoana ny rahalahiny, dia niakatra koa Izy, nefa tsy mba nisehoseho, fa toa niafinafina.

¹¹The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, “Where is he?”

¹¹Ary ny Jiosy dia nitady Azy tamin'ny andro firavoravoana ka nanao hoe: Aiza Izy?

¹²There was much murmuring among the multitudes concerning him. Some said, “He is a good man.” Others said, “Not so, but he leads the multitude astray.”

¹²Ary nitakoritsika Azy be ihany ny vahoaka. Hoy ny sasany: Tsara fanahy Izy; fa hoy kosa ny sasany; Tsia; fa mamitaka ny vahoaka Izy.

¹³Yet no one spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews.

¹³Nefa tsy nisy sahy niresaka Azy miharihary noho ny fahatahorany ny Jiosy.

¹⁴But when it was now the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.

¹⁴Ary rehefa nisasaka ny andro firavoravoana, dia niakatra teo an-kianjan'ny tempoly Jesosy ka nampianatra.

¹⁵The Jews therefore marveled, saying, “How does this man know letters, having never been educated?”

¹⁵Dia gaga ny Jiosy ka nanao hoe: Ahoana no nahaizan'ilehity soratra, nefa tsy mba nianatra Izy?

¹⁶Jesus therefore answered them, “My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.

¹⁶Dia namaly azy Jesosy ka nanao hoe: Tsy Ahy ny fampianarako, fa an'izay naniraka Ahy.

¹⁷ If anyone desires to do his will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is from God, or if I am speaking from myself.

¹⁷Raha misy olona ta-hanao ny sitrapony, dia hahalala ny amin'ny fampianarana izy, na avy amin'Andriamanitra izany, na miteny ho Ahy Aho.

¹⁸ He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory, but he who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

¹⁸Izay miteny ho azy dia mitady ny voninahitry ny tenany; fa izay mitady ny voninahitr'izay naniraka azy no marina, ary tsy misy tsi-fahamarinana ao aminy.

¹⁹ Didn’t Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keeps the law? Why do you seek to kill me?”

¹⁹Tsy Mosesy va no nanome anareo ny lalàna? nefa tsy misy eo aminareo mankatò ny lalàna. Nahoana ianareo no mitady hamono Ahy?

²⁰The multitude answered, “You have a demon! Who seeks to kill you?”

²⁰Ny vahoaka namaly hoe: Manana demonia Hianao; iza no mitady hamono Anao?

²¹Jesus answered them, “I did one work, and you all marvel because of it.

²¹Jesosy namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Asa iray loha ihany no nataoko, ka gaga avokoa ianareo rehetra.

²² Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a boy.

²²Izao no nanomezan'i Mosesy anareo ny famorana: tsy noho izy avy tamin'i Mosesy, fa noho izy avy tamin'ny razana, ka na dia amin'ny Sabata aza dia mamora olona ihany ianareo.

²³ If a boy receives circumcision on the Sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me, because I made a man completely healthy on the Sabbath?

²³Raha amin'ny Sabata aza no amorana olona, mba tsy hahafoana ny lalàn'i Mosesy, dia tezitra amiko va ianareo, satria nisy olona anankiray nataoko sitrana avokoa ny tenany rehetra tamin'ny Sabata.

²⁴ Don’t judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment.”

²⁴Aza mitsara araka ny miseho, fa mba mitsarà marina.

²⁵Therefore some of them of Jerusalem said, “Isn’t this he whom they seek to kill?

²⁵Ary ny mponina sasany tany Jerosalema dia nanao hoe: Tsy Ilehity va Ilay tadiaviny hovonoina?

²⁶Behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is truly the Christ?

²⁶Ary indro Izy miteny miharihary, nefa tsy misy miteny Azy akory. Sao efa fantatry ny mpanapaka anie fa Io no Kristy?

²⁷However we know where this man comes from, but when the Christ comes, no one will know where he comes from.”

²⁷Nefa fantatsika izay nihavian'ilehio, fa raha avy Kristy, tsy misy mahalala izay hihaviany.

²⁸Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, “You both know me, and know where I am from. I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you don’t know.

²⁸Dia niantso teo an-kianjan'ny tempoly Jesosy, raha nampianatra, ka nanao hoe: Izaho dia fantatrareo, sady fantatrareo koa izay nihaviako; ary tsy avy ho Ahy Aho, fa marina ny naniraka Ahy, Izay tsy fantatrareo.

²⁹ I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me.”

²⁹Izaho mahalala Azy; fa Izy no nihaviako, ka Izy no naniraka Ahy.

³⁰They sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.

³⁰Dia nitady hisambotra Azy ny olona; kanefa tsy nisy naninji-tanana taminy, satria tsy mbola tonga ny fotoany.

³¹But of the multitude, many believed in him. They said, “When the Christ comes, he won’t do more signs than those which this man has done, will he?”

³¹Ary maro ny vahoaka no nino Azy ka nanao hoe: Raha tonga Kristy, moa hanao famantarana maro mihoatra noho ny nataon'ity Lehilahy ity va Izy?

³²The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.

³²Ny Fariseo nandre ny vahoaka nitakoritsika izany zavatra izany ny aminy; ary ny lohan'ny mpisorona sy ny Fariseo dia naniraka mpiandry raharaha mba hisambotra Azy.

³³Then Jesus said, “I will be with you a little while longer, then I go to him who sent me.

³³Dia hoy Jesosy: Kely foana no itoerako aminareo, dia hankany amin'izay naniraka Ahy Aho.

³⁴ You will seek me, and won’t find me; and where I am, you can’t come.”

³⁴Hitady Ahy ianareo, fa tsy hahita; ary izay itoerako dia tsy azonareo haleha.

³⁵The Jews therefore said among themselves, “Where will this man go that we won’t find him? Will he go to the Dispersion among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?

³⁵Dia niresaka hoe ny Jiosy: Hankaiza moa no halehan'ilehity, no tsy ho hitantsika? Hankany amin'izay miely any amin'ny Grika va Izy ka hampianatra ny Grika?

³⁶What is this word that he said, ‘You will seek me, and won’t find me; and where I am, you can’t come’? ”

³⁶Ahoana re izao teny nolazainy izao hoe: Hitady Ahy ianareo, fa tsy hahita; ary izay itoerako tsy azonareo haleha?

³⁷Now on the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink!

³⁷Ary tamin'ny andro farany, izay andro lehibe tamin'ny andro firavoravoana, dia nitsangana Jesosy ka niantso nanao hoe: Raha misy olona mangetaheta, aoka izy hanatona Ahy ka hisotro.

³⁸ He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, from within him will flow rivers of living water.”

³⁸Izay mino Ahy, dia hisy onin'ny rano velona miboiboika avy ao an-kibony, araka ny voalazan'ny Soratra Masina.

³⁹But he said this about the Spirit, which those believing in him were to receive. For the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus wasn’t yet glorified.

³⁹Ary ny Fanahy, Izay efa horaisin'ny mino Azy, no nolazainy tamin'izany; fa ny Fanahy tsy mbola nomena, satria Jesosy tsy mbola niditra tamin'ny voninahiny. [ Na: Fanahy Masina]

⁴⁰Many of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, “This is truly the prophet.”

⁴⁰Ary ny sasany tamin'ny vahoaka, raha nandre izany teny izany, dia nanao hoe: Ity tokoa no Ilay Mpaminany.

⁴¹Others said, “This is the Christ.” But some said, “What, does the Christ come out of Galilee?

⁴¹Hoy ny sasany: Ity no Kristy. Fa hoy kosa ny sasany: Avy any Galilia va no ihavian'i Kristy?

⁴²Hasn’t the Scripture said that the Christ comes of the seed of David, 2 Samuel 7:12 and from Bethlehem, Micah 5:2 the village where David was?”

⁴²Tsy voalazan'ny Soratra Masina va fa Kristy dia avy amin'ny taranak'i Davida, sady avy ao Betlehema, vohitra nonenan'i Davida (Mik. 5. 1)?

⁴³So there arose a division in the multitude because of him.

⁴³Dia nisara-tsaina ny amin'i Jesosy ny vahoaka.

⁴⁴Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him.

⁴⁴Ary ny sasany nitady hisambotra Azy; kanefa tsy nisy naninji-tanana taminy.

⁴⁵The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, “Why didn’t you bring him?”

⁴⁵Ary ny mpiandry raharaha nankeo amin'ny lohan'ny mpisorona sy ny Fariseo, ka hoy izy ireo taminy: Nahoana ianareo no tsy nitondra Azy?

⁴⁶The officers answered, “No man ever spoke like this man!”

⁴⁶Ny mpiandry raharaha namaly hoe: Tsy mbola nisy olona niteny tahaka izany.

⁴⁷The Pharisees therefore answered them, “You aren’t also led astray, are you?

⁴⁷Ary ny Fariseo namaly azy hoe: Hianareo koa va voafitaka?

⁴⁸Have any of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees?

⁴⁸Moa misy mpanapaka na Fariseo mba nino Azy?

⁴⁹But this multitude that doesn’t know the law is accursed.”

⁴⁹Fa voaozona ireto vahoaka ireto, izay tsy mahalala ny lalàna.

⁵⁰Nicodemus (he who came to him by night, being one of them) said to them,

⁵⁰Ary Nikodemosy, anankiray teo aminy, dia ilay nankeo amin'i Jesosy teo aloha, dia nanao taminy hoe:

⁵¹“Does our law judge a man, unless it first hears from him personally and knows what he does?”

⁵¹Moa manameloka olona va ny lalàntsika, raha tsy mbola mihaino azy aloha ka mahafantatra izay nataony?

⁵²They answered him, “Are you also from Galilee? Search, and see that no prophet has arisen out of Galilee. See Isaiah 9:1 and Matthew 4:13-16. ”

⁵²Izy ireo namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Hianao koa angaha mba avy any Galilia? Diniho, dia ho hitanao fa tsy mba misy mpaminany avy any Galilia.[Dia samy lasa nody ho any an-tranony avy izy rehetra;]

⁵³Everyone went to his own house,

⁵³[Dia samy lasa nody ho any an-tranony avy izy rehetra;]
