¹He entered and was passing through Jericho.

¹Ary Jesosy niditra ka nandeha namaky an'i Jeriko.

²There was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector, and he was rich.

²Ary, indro, nisy lehilahy atao hoe Zakaiosy, izay lehiben'ny mpamory hetra sady nanan-karena.

³He was trying to see who Jesus was, and couldn’t because of the crowd, because he was short.

³Ary nitady hahita izay Jesosy izy, kanefa ny afaka noho ny habetsahan'ny olona nifanety, satria fohy izy.

⁴He ran on ahead, and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was to pass that way.

⁴Dia nihazakazaka nialoha izy ka nananika aviavy hizaha an'i Jesosy; fa efa handalo tamin'izany lalana izany Izy.

⁵When Jesus came to the place, he looked up and saw him, and said to him, “Zacchaeus, hurry and come down, for today I must stay at your house.”

⁵Ary rehefa tonga teo Jesosy, dia niandrandra ka nanao taminy hoe: Ry Zakaiosy, midina faingana; fa tsy maintsy mitoetra ao an-tranonao Aho anio.

⁶He hurried, came down, and received him joyfully.

⁶Dia nidina faingana izy ka nampiantrano Azy sady faly.

⁷When they saw it, they all murmured, saying, “He has gone in to lodge with a man who is a sinner.”

⁷Ary raha nahita izany izy rehetra, dia nimonomonona ka nanao hoe: Lasa nandeha hiantrano amin'izay lehilahy mpanota Izy.

⁸Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Behold, Lord, half of my goods I give to the poor. If I have wrongfully exacted anything of anyone, I restore four times as much.”

⁸Fa Zakaiosy kosa nitsangana ka nanao tamin'ny Tompo hoe: Indro, Tompoko, ny antsasaky ny fananako omeko ho an'ny malahelo; ary raha misy zavatr'olona nalaiko tamin'ny fanambakana, dia honerako avy efatra heny izany.

⁹Jesus said to him, “Today, salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham.

⁹Ary hoy Jesosy taminy: Anio no tonga eto amin'ity trano ity ny famonjena, fa izy dia zanak'i Abrahama koa.

¹⁰ For the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost.”

¹⁰Fa efa tonga ny Zanak'olona hitady sy hamonjy ny very.

¹¹As they heard these things, he went on and told a parable, because he was near Jerusalem, and they supposed that the Kingdom of God would be revealed immediately.

¹¹Ary raha mbola nihaino izany ny olona, dia nandroso niteny ihany Jesosy ka nanao fanoharana, satria efa akaiky an'i Jerosalema Izy, ka nataon'ny olona fa hiseho faingana ny fanjakan'Andriamanitra.

¹²He said therefore, “A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.

¹²Dia hoy Izy: Nisy andriandahy anankiray nandeha nankany an-tany lavitra mba handray fahefana hanjaka, dia hiverina.

¹³ He called ten servants of his, and gave them ten mina coins, 10 minas was more than 3 years’ wages for an agricultural laborer. and told them, ‘Conduct business until I come.’

¹³Dia niantso folo lahy tamin'ny mpanompony izy ary nanome azy farantsa folo ka nanao taminy hoe: Mandrantoa mandra-pihaviko. [Gr. mina = drakma = tokony ho farantsa 15]

¹⁴ But his citizens hated him, and sent an envoy after him, saying, ‘We don’t want this man to reign over us.’

¹⁴Fa ny vahoakany nankahala azy, dia nampitondra reny nanaraka azy nanao hoe: Tsy manaiky hanjakan'iny lehilahy iny izahay.[Na: vahoaka namany]

¹⁵ “It happened when he had come back again, having received the kingdom, that he commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by conducting business.

¹⁵Ary nony tafaverina izy, rehefa nandray fahefana hanjaka, dia nasainy nantsoina hankeo aminy izany mpanompo nomeny ny vola izany mba hahitany izay azony tamin'ny fandrantoana.

¹⁶ The first came before him, saying, ‘Lord, your mina has made ten more minas.’

¹⁶Dia tonga ny voalohany ka nanao hoe: Tompoko, ny farantsanao iray efa nahazoana tombony farantsa folo.

¹⁷ “He said to him, ‘Well done, you good servant! Because you were found faithful with very little, you shall have authority over ten cities.’

¹⁷Ary hoy izy taminy: Tsara izany, ry mpanompo tsara; satria nahatoky tamin'ny kely indrindra ianao, dia manapaha tanàna folo.

¹⁸ “The second came, saying, ‘Your mina, Lord, has made five minas.’

¹⁸Dia tonga ny anankiray koa ka nanao hoe: Tompoko, ny farantsanao iray efa tonga farantsa dimy.

¹⁹ “So he said to him, ‘And you are to be over five cities.’

¹⁹Ary hoy koa izy tamin'io: Manapaha tanàna dimy koa ianao.

²⁰ Another came, saying, ‘Lord, behold, your mina, which I kept laid away in a handkerchief,

²⁰Fa tonga kosa ny anankiray ka nanao hoe: Tompoko, indry ny farantsanao, izay notehiriziko voafono amin'ny mosara.

²¹ for I feared you, because you are an exacting man. You take up that which you didn’t lay down, and reap that which you didn’t sow.’

²¹Fa natahotra anao aho, satria olona mila voatsiary ianao ka maka izay tsy napetrakao, ary mijinja izay tsy nafafinao.

²² “He said to him, ‘Out of your own mouth will I judge you, you wicked servant! You knew that I am an exacting man, taking up that which I didn’t lay down, and reaping that which I didn’t sow.

²²Ary hoy ny tompony taminy: Ny vavanao no hitsarako anao, ry mpanompo ratsy fanahy: fantatrao fa izaho dia olona mila voatsiary ka maka izay tsy napetrako, ary mijinja izay tsy nafafiko;

²³ Then why didn’t you deposit my money in the bank, and at my coming, I might have earned interest on it?’

²³koa nahoana no tsy napetrakao tamin'ny mpanana vola ny volako, ka rehefa tonga aho, dia ho nandray ny ahy mban-janany?

²⁴ He said to those who stood by, ‘Take the mina away from him, and give it to him who has the ten minas.’

²⁴Ary hoy izy tamin'izay nitsangana teo anilany: Alao ny farantsa eny aminy, ka omeo ilay manana farantsa folo

²⁵ “They said to him, ‘Lord, he has ten minas!’

²⁵(Fa hoy ireo taminy: Tompoko, efa manana farantsa folo izy.)

²⁶ ‘For I tell you that to everyone who has, will more be given; but from him who doesn’t have, even that which he has will be taken away from him.

²⁶Lazaiko aminareo: Izay rehetra manana dia homena; fa ny amin'izay tsy manana, na dia izay ananany aza dia halaina aminy.

²⁷ But bring those enemies of mine who didn’t want me to reign over them here, and kill them before me.’”

²⁷Fa ireo fahavaloko tsy nanaiky hanjakako ireo, dia ento atỳ , ka vonoy eto anatrehako.

²⁸Having said these things, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.

²⁸Ary rehefa niteny izany Izy, dia nandeha nialoha hiakatra ho any Jerosalema.

²⁹It happened, when he drew near to Bethsphage TR, NU read “Bethpage” instead of “Bethsphage” and Bethany, at the mountain that is called Olivet, he sent two of his disciples,

²⁹Ary raha nanakaiky an'i Betifaga sy Betania teo an-tendrombohitra atao hoe Oliva Izy, dia naniraka roa lahy tamin'ny mpianatra

³⁰saying, “Go your way into the village on the other side, in which, as you enter, you will find a colt tied, whereon no man ever yet sat. Untie it, and bring it.

³⁰ka nanao hoe: Mankanesa amin'iroa vohitra tandrifinareo iroa; ary raha vao miditra ao ianareo, dia hisy zana-boriky mifatotra ho hitanareo, izay tsy mbola nitaingenan'olona; vahao izy, ka ento erỳ .

³¹ If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ say to him: ‘The Lord needs it.’”

³¹Ary raha misy manontany anareo hoe: Nahoana no vahanareo io? dia izao no holazainareo: Misy raharaha analan'ny Tompo azy.

³²Those who were sent went away, and found things just as he had told them.

³²Ary nony nandeha ireo nirahina, dia nahita araka izay nolazainy taminy.

³³As they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?”

³³Ary raha namaha ny zana-boriky izy, dia hoy ny tompony taminy: Nahoana no vahanareo ny zana-boriky?

³⁴They said, “The Lord needs it.”

³⁴Ary hoy izy: Misy raharaha analan'ny Tompo azy.

³⁵They brought it to Jesus. They threw their cloaks on the colt, and set Jesus on them.

³⁵Dia nitondra azy ho any amin'i Jesosy izy ary nametraka ny lambany teo ambonin'ny zana-boriky, ka nampitaingeniny azy Jesosy.

³⁶As he went, they spread their cloaks in the way.

³⁶Ary raha nandeha Jesosy, dia namelatra ny lambany teny an-dalana izy lreo.

³⁷As he was now getting near, at the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works which they had seen,

³⁷Ary rehefa nanakaiky Izy ka tonga teo am-pidinana amin'ny tendrombohitra Oliva, dia nifaly avokoa ny mpianatra maro be ka nidera an'Andriamanitra tamin'ny feo mahery noho ny asa lehibe rehetra izay efa hitany

³⁸saying, “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Psalm 118:26 Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest!”

³⁸ka nanao hoe: Isaorana anie ny Mpanjaka, Izay avy amin'ny anaran'i Jehovah. Fiadanana any an-danitra, ary voninahitra any amin'ny avo indrindra.

³⁹Some of the Pharisees from the multitude said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples!”

³⁹Fa ny Fariseo sasany, izay teo amin'ny vahoaka, nanao taminy hoe: Mpampianatra ô, rarao ny mpianatrao.

⁴⁰He answered them, “I tell you that if these were silent, the stones would cry out.”

⁴⁰Fa Izy namaly ka nanao hoe: Lazaiko aminareo fa raha mangina ireo, dia ny vato no hiantsoantso.

⁴¹When he drew near, he saw the city and wept over it,

⁴¹Ary raha nanakaiky Izy ka nahita ny tanàna, dia nitomany azy

⁴²saying, “If you, even you, had known today the things which belong to your peace! But now, they are hidden from your eyes.

⁴²ka nanao hoe: Raha mba nahafantatra mantsy ianao na dia amin'ity andro ity aza izay momba ny fiadanana! - fa ankehitriny miafina amin'ny masonao izany.

⁴³ For the days will come on you, when your enemies will throw up a barricade against you, surround you, hem you in on every side,

⁴³Fa ho avy aminao ny andro izay hananganan'ny fahavalonao tovon-tany manodidina anao, dia hanemitra anao izy ka hanidy anao manodidina

⁴⁴ and will dash you and your children within you to the ground. They will not leave in you one stone on another, because you didn’t know the time of your visitation.”

⁴⁴ary hamongotra anao hatramin'ny tany mbamin'ny zanakao ao anatinao, ka tsy havelany hisy vato mifanongoa eo aminao, ho valin'ny tsy nahafantaranao ny andro namangiana anao.

⁴⁵He entered into the temple, and began to drive out those who bought and sold in it,

⁴⁵Ary niditra teo an-kianjan'ny tempoly Jesosy, dia nandroaka izay nivarotra

⁴⁶saying to them, “It is written, ‘My house is a house of prayer,’ Isaiah 56:7 but you have made it a ‘den of robbers’!” Jeremiah 7:11

⁴⁶ka nanao taminy hoe: Efa voasoratra hoe: Ny tranoko dia trano fivavahana (Isa. 56. 7); fa ianareo kosa nanao azy ho zohy fieren'ny jiolahy (Jery. 7. 11).

⁴⁷He was teaching daily in the temple, but the chief priests and the scribes and the leading men among the people sought to destroy him.

⁴⁷Ary nampianatra isan'andro teo an-kianjan'ny tempoly Izy. Fa ny lohan'ny mpisorona sy ny mpanora-dalàna ary ny loholona nitady hahafaty Azy;nefa tsy hitany izay hataony, satria ny vahoaka rehetra nazoto dia nazoto hihaino Azy.

⁴⁸They couldn’t find what they might do, for all the people hung on to every word that he said.

⁴⁸nefa tsy hitany izay hataony, satria ny vahoaka rehetra nazoto dia nazoto hihaino Azy.
