¹Now it happened on the second Sabbath after the first, that he was going through the grain fields. His disciples plucked the heads of grain, and ate, rubbing them in their hands.

¹Ary tamin'ny Sabata anankiray dia nandeha namaky ny tanimbary Jesosy, ary ny mpianany nanoty ny salohim-bary, ka rehefa nokosokosohiny tamin'ny tànany, dia nohaniny.[ Na: faharoa manaraka ny voalohany].

²But some of the Pharisees said to them, “Why do you do that which is not lawful to do on the Sabbath day?”

²Fa ny Fariseo sasany nanao hoe: Nahoana ianareo no manao izay tsy mety hatao amin'ny Sabata?

³Jesus, answering them, said, “Haven’t you read what David did when he was hungry, he, and those who were with him;

³Ary Jesosy namaly azy ka nanao hoe: Tsy mbola novakinareo va ny teny milaza ilay nataon'i Davida, raha noana izy mbamin'izay nanaraka azy,

⁴ how he entered into God’s house, and took and ate the show bread, and gave also to those who were with him, which is not lawful to eat except for the priests alone?”

⁴fa niditra tao an-tranon'Andriamanitra izy ka nandray ny mofo aseho ary nihinana sady nanome he an'izay nanaraka azy koa, nefa mahadiso raha misy homana izany, afa-tsy ny mpisorona ihany?

⁵He said to them, “The Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath.”

⁵Ary hoy Izy taminy: Tompon'ny Sabata ny Zanak'olona.

⁶It also happened on another Sabbath that he entered into the synagogue and taught. There was a man there, and his right hand was withered.

⁶Ary nony tamin'ny Sabata hafa koa niditra tao amin'ny synagoga Jesosy ka nampianatra; ary nisy lehilahy anankiray maty tanana tao.[Gr. efa maina, na malazo]

⁷The scribes and the Pharisees watched him, to see whether he would heal on the Sabbath, that they might find an accusation against him.

⁷Ary ny mpanora-dalàna sy ny Fariseo nizaha taratra Azy, na hahasitrana amin'ny Sabata Izy, na tsia, mba hahitany izay hiampangana Azy.

⁸But he knew their thoughts; and he said to the man who had the withered hand, “Rise up, and stand in the middle.” He arose and stood.

⁸Fa Jesosy nahalala ny hevitr'ireo, ka dia niteny tamin-dralehilahy maty tanana hoe: Mitsangàna, ka mijoroa etsy afovoany. Dia nitsangana izy ka nijoro.

⁹Then Jesus said to them, “I will ask you something: Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good, or to do harm? To save a life, or to kill?”

⁹Ary hoy Jesosy tamin'ireo: Manontany anareo Aho: Moa ny manao soa va no mety hatao amin'ny Sabata, sa ny manao ratsy? ny mamonjy aina va, sa ny mahavery aina?

¹⁰He looked around at them all, and said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He did, and his hand was restored as sound as the other.

¹⁰Ary nijery azy rehetra manodidina Izy, dia nanao tamin-dralehilahy hoe: Ahinjiro ny tananao. Dia nataony izany, ka sitrana ny tànany.

¹¹But they were filled with rage, and talked with one another about what they might do to Jesus.

¹¹Dia safotry ny hatezerana izy ireo ka nioko ny amin'izay hanaovany an'i Jesosy.

¹²It happened in these days, that he went out to the mountain to pray, and he continued all night in prayer to God.

¹²Ary tamin'izany andro izany dia lasa nankany an-tendrombohitra Jesosy mba hivavaka; ary naharitra nivavaka tamin'Andriamanitra nandritra ny alina Izy.

¹³When it was day, he called his disciples, and from them he chose twelve, whom he also named apostles:

¹³Ary nony maraina ny andro,dia nantsoiny hanatona Azy ny mpianany, ka nifidianany roa ambin'ny folo lahy, izay nataony hoe Apostoly,

¹⁴Simon, whom he also named Peter; Andrew, his brother; James; John; Philip; Bartholomew;

¹⁴dia Simona, izay nataony hoe koa Petera, sy Andrea rahalahiny, sy Jakoba sy Jaona sy Filipo sy Bartelemeo

¹⁵Matthew; Thomas; James, the son of Alphaeus; Simon, who was called the Zealot;

¹⁵sy Matio sy Tomasy sy Jakoba, zanak'i Alfeo, sy Simona, izay atao hoe Zelota,

¹⁶Judas the son of James; and Judas Iscariot, who also became a traitor.

¹⁶sy Jodasy, zanak'i Jakoba, ary Jodasy Iskariota, izay tonga namadika. [ Na: rahalahin'i]

¹⁷He came down with them, and stood on a level place, with a crowd of his disciples, and a great number of the people from all Judea and Jerusalem, and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases;

¹⁷Ary Jesosy niara-nidina tamin'ireo, dia nijanona teo an-kamarenana Izy sy ny mpianany maro mbamin'ny vahoaka betsaka avy tany Jodia rehetra sy Jerosalema, ary avy tany amoron-dranomasina any Tyro sy Sidona, izay tonga mba hihaino Azy sy hositranina amin'ny aretiny;

¹⁸as well as those who were troubled by unclean spirits, and they were being healed.

¹⁸ary izay nampahorin'ny fanahy maloto dia nositranina.

¹⁹All the multitude sought to touch him, for power came out from him and healed them all.

¹⁹Ary ny vahoaka rehetra nitady hanendry Azy, satria nisy hery niala taminy ka nahasitrana azy rehetra.

²⁰He lifted up his eyes to his disciples, and said, “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the Kingdom of God.

²⁰Ary Jesosy dia nanopy ny masony tamin'ny mpianany ka nanao hoe: Sambatra ianareo malahelo, fa anareo ny fanjakan'Andriamanitra.

²¹ Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.

²¹Sambatra ianareo noana ankehitriny, fa hovokisana ianareo. Sambatra ianareo mitomany ankehitriny, fa hihomehy ianareo.

²² Blessed are you when men shall hate you, and when they shall exclude and mock you, and throw out your name as evil, for the Son of Man’s sake.

²²Sambatra ianareo, raha halan'ny olona ka ariany sy haratsiny, ary laviny toy ny zava-dratsy ny anaranareo, noho ny amin'ny Zanak'olona.

²³ Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven, for their fathers did the same thing to the prophets.

²³Mifalia ianareo amin'izany andro izany, ka mibitaha; fa, indro, lehibe ny valim-pitianareo any an-danitra; fa izany no nataon'ny razany tamin'ny mpaminany.[Na: miantsambora]

²⁴ “But woe to you who are rich! For you have received your consolation.

²⁴Fa lozanareo izay manan-karena kosa! fa efa azonareo izay mahafa-po anareo.

²⁵ Woe to you, you who are full now, for you will be hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep.

²⁵Lozanareo izay voky ankehitriny! fa mbola ho noana ianareo. Lozanareo izay mihomehy ankehitriny fa mbola be ory sy hitomany ianareo.

²⁶ Woe, TR adds “to you” when TR adds “all” men speak well of you, for their fathers did the same thing to the false prophets.

²⁶Lozanareo, raha milaza soa anareo ny olona rehetra! fa izany no nataon'ny razany tamin'ny mpaminany sandoka.

²⁷ “But I tell you who hear: love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,

²⁷Kanefa hoy Izaho aminareo izay mihaino: Tiava ny fahavalonareo; manaova soa amin'izay mankahala anareo;

²⁸ bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you.

²⁸misaora izay manozona anareo, ary mivavaha ho an'izay manisy ratsy anareo.

²⁹ To him who strikes you on the cheek, offer also the other; and from him who takes away your cloak, don’t withhold your coat also.

²⁹Raha misy mamely ny takolakao anankiray, dia atolory azy koa ny anankiray; ary raha misy maka ny lambanao, aza lavinao na dia ny akanjonao aza.

³⁰ Give to everyone who asks you, and don’t ask him who takes away your goods to give them back again.

³⁰Omeo izay rehetra mangataka aminao; ary raha misy maka ny anananao, dia aza manaraka izany aminy.

³¹ “As you would like people to do to you, do exactly so to them.

³¹Ary araka izay tianareo hataon'ny olona aminareo, dia mba ataovy aminy kosa.

³² If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.

³²Fa raha izay tia anareo ihany no tianareo, inona moa no soa tokony ho azonareo? fa na dia ny mpanota koa aza mba tia izay tia azy.

³³ If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.

³³Ary raha izay manisy soa anareo ihany no asianareo soa, inona moa no soa tokony ho azonareo? fa na dia ny mpanota aza mba manao izany ihany.

³⁴ If you lend to those from whom you hope to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to receive back as much.

³⁴Ary raha mampisambotra izay antenainareo fa mbola hanonitra ianareo, inona moa no soa tokony ho azonareo? fa na dia ny mpanota aza mba mampisambotra ny mpanota, handraisany toraka izany indray.

³⁵ But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing back; and your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High; for he is kind toward the unthankful and evil.

³⁵Fa tiava ny fahavalonareo, ary manaova soa, dia mampisambora, fa aza kivy na amin'inona na amin'inona, dia ho lehibe ny valim-pitianareo, ary ho zanaky ny Avo Indrindra ianareo; fa Izy mora fanahy amin'izay tsy misaotra sy ny ratsy fanahy.[Na: aza manantena valiny]

³⁶ Therefore be merciful, even as your Father is also merciful.

³⁶Aoka ho mpamindra fo ianareo mba ho tahaka ny Rainareo, Mpamindra fo.

³⁷ Don’t judge, and you won’t be judged. Don’t condemn, and you won’t be condemned. Set free, and you will be set free.

³⁷Ary aza mitsara, dia tsy hotsaraina ianareo; aza manameloka, dia tsy hohelohina ianareo; mamelà, dia mba havela ianareo;

³⁸ “Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will be given to you. literally, into your bosom. For with the same measure you measure it will be measured back to you.”

³⁸omeo, dia mba homena ianareo; fatra tsara sady ahintsana no afatratra ka mihoatra no homeny ho ao am-pofoanareo. Fa izay fatra ataonareo no hamarana ho anareo kosa.

³⁹He spoke a parable to them. “Can the blind guide the blind? Won’t they both fall into a pit?

³⁹Ary Jesosy nanao fanoharana taminy koa hoe: Ny jamba va mahatari-dalana ny jamba? Tsy hianjera any an-kady va izy roa?

⁴⁰ A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone when he is fully trained will be like his teacher.

⁴⁰Ny mpianatra tsy mihoatra noho ny mpampianatra; fa izay rehetra tanteraka dia ho tahaka ny mpampianatra azy ihany.

⁴¹ Why do you see the speck of chaff that is in your brother’s eye, but don’t consider the beam that is in your own eye?

⁴¹Ary nahoana ianao no mijery ny sombin-kazo izay eo amin'ny mason'ny rahalahinao, nefa ny andry izay eo amin'ny masonao dia tsy mba tsaroanao akory?

⁴² Or how can you tell your brother, ‘Brother, let me remove the speck of chaff that is in your eye,’ when you yourself don’t see the beam that is in your own eye? You hypocrite! First remove the beam from your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck of chaff that is in your brother’s eye.

⁴²Ary ahoana no ilazanao amin'ny rahalahinao hoe: Ry rahalahy, aoka hesoriko ny sombin-kazo eo amin'ny masonao, nefa tsy mba hitanao ny andry eo amin'ny masonao? Ry mpihatsaravelatsihy, esory aloha ny andry eo amin'ny masonao, ary amin'izany dia ho hitanao tsara ny hanesoranao ny sombin-kazo eo amin'ny maso'ny rahalahinao.

⁴³ For there is no good tree that brings forth rotten fruit; nor again a rotten tree that brings forth good fruit.

⁴³Fa tsy misy hazo tsara mamoa voa ratsy na hazo ratsy mamoa voa tsara.

⁴⁴ For each tree is known by its own fruit. For people don’t gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather grapes from a bramble bush.

⁴⁴Fa samy fantatra amin'ny voany avy ny hazo rehetra; fa tsy misy manoty aviavy amin'ny tsilo, na voaloboka amin'ny voaroy.[aviavimbazaha]

⁴⁵ The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings out that which is good, and the evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings out that which is evil, for out of the abundance of the heart, his mouth speaks.

⁴⁵Ny olona tsara fanahy dia mamoaka ny tsara avy amin'ny rakitra tsaran'ny fony; ary ny ratsy fanahy kosa dia mamoaka ny ratsy; fa amin'ny haben'ny ao am-pony no itenenan'ny vavany.

⁴⁶ “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and don’t do the things which I say?

⁴⁶Ary nahoana ianareo no miantso Ahy hoe: Tompoko, Tompoko, nefa tsy manao izay lazaiko?

⁴⁷ Everyone who comes to me, and hears my words, and does them, I will show you who he is like.

⁴⁷Izay rehetra manatona Ahy sy mandre ny teniko ka mankatò azy, dia hasehoko aminareo izay tahaka azy:

⁴⁸ He is like a man building a house, who dug and went deep, and laid a foundation on the rock. When a flood arose, the stream broke against that house, and could not shake it, because it was founded on the rock.

⁴⁸Tahaka ny olona nanao trano izy, izay nihady lalina ary nanisy fanorenana teo ambonin'ny vatolampy; ary nony tondraka ny rano, dia namely mafy izany trano izany ny riaka, nefa tsy nahahozongozona azy, satria tsara fanorenana izy.[Na: naorina teo ambonin'ny vatolampy izy]Fa izay mandre, fa tsy mankatò, dia tahaka ny olona izay nanao trano teo ambonin'ny tany, fa tsy nanisy fanorenana; dia namely azy mafy ny riaka, ka dia nirodana niaraka tamin'izay izy; ary loza ny naharavan'izany trano izany.

⁴⁹ But he who hears, and doesn’t do, is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream broke, and immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great.”

⁴⁹Fa izay mandre, fa tsy mankatò, dia tahaka ny olona izay nanao trano teo ambonin'ny tany, fa tsy nanisy fanorenana; dia namely azy mafy ny riaka, ka dia nirodana niaraka tamin'izay izy; ary loza ny naharavan'izany trano izany.
