¹He called the twelve TR reads “his twelve disciples” instead of “the twelve” together, and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.

¹Ary Jesosy niantso ny roa ambin'ny folo lahy hankeo aminy ka nanome azy hery sy fahefana hamoaka ny demonia rehetra sy hahasitrana aretina.

²He sent them forth to preach the Kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.

²Ary Izy naniraka ireo handeha hitory ny fanjakan'Andriamanitra sy hahasitrana ny marary.

³He said to them, “Take nothing for your journey—neither staffs, nor wallet, nor bread, nor money; neither have two coats apiece.

³Ary hoy izy taminy: Aza mitondra zavatra ho amin'ny alehanareo, na tehina, na kitapom-batsy, na mofo, na vola, ary aza misy mitondra akanjo roa.

⁴ Into whatever house you enter, stay there, and depart from there.

⁴Ary izay trano hidiranareo, dia ao no itoero, ary avy ao indray no ialao.

⁵ As many as don’t receive you, when you depart from that city, shake off even the dust from your feet for a testimony against them.”

⁵Ary izay tsy mampandroso, anareo, raha miala amin'izany tanàna izany ianareo, dia ahintsano ny vovoka ho afaka amin'ny tongotrareo ho vavolombelona miampanga azy.

⁶They departed, and went throughout the villages, preaching the Good News, and healing everywhere.

⁶Dia lasa nandeha izy ireo ka nitety vohitra nitory ny filazantsara sy nahasitrana teny tontolo eny.

⁷Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him; and he was very perplexed, because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead,

⁷Ary Heroda mpanapaka nandre izay rehetra natao; dia very hevitra izy noho ny filazan'ny olona; fa hoy ny sasany: Jaona no efa nitsangana tamin'ny maty;

⁸and by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen again.

⁸ary hoy ny sasany: Elia no efa niseho; fa hoy kosa ny sasany: Ny anankiray amin'ny mpaminany fahiny no efa nitsangana.

⁹Herod said, “John I beheaded, but who is this, about whom I hear such things?” He sought to see him.

⁹Fa hoy Heroda: Raha Jaona, dia izaho no efa nanapaka ny lohany; fa iza indray moa Izao, izay reko fa manao izany zavatra izany? Ary izy nitady hahita Azy.

¹⁰The apostles, when they had returned, told him what things they had done. He took them, and withdrew apart to a deserted place of a city called Bethsaida.

¹⁰Ary rehefa niverina ny Apostoly, dia nanambara tamin'i Jesosy izay efa nataony. Ary Izy nitondra azy ka nandeha nitokana nankany amin'ny tanàna atao hoe Betsaida.

¹¹But the multitudes, perceiving it, followed him. He welcomed them, and spoke to them of the Kingdom of God, and he cured those who needed healing.

¹¹Ary ny vahoaka, nony nahalala, dia nanaraka Azy; ary Izy nandray azy tsara ka nilaza taminy ny amin'ny fanjakan'Andriamanitra; ary izay marary dia nositraniny.

¹²The day began to wear away; and the twelve came, and said to him, “Send the multitude away, that they may go into the surrounding villages and farms, and lodge, and get food, for we are here in a deserted place.”

¹²Ary nony efa ho hariva ny andro, dia nanatona ny roa ambin'ny folo lahy ka nanao taminy hoe: Ravao ny vahoaka mba hankanesany eny amin'ny vohitra manodidina sy any an-tsaha handry sy hitady hanina; fa atỳ an-tany foana isika.

¹³But he said to them, “You give them something to eat.” They said, “We have no more than five loaves and two fish, unless we should go and buy food for all these people.”

¹³Fa hoy Izy taminy: Omeonareo hanina izy. Ary hoy ireo: Tsy manana mihoatra noho ny mofo dimy sy hazandrano roa izahay, raha tsy handeha hividy hanina ho an'ireo olona rehetra ireo.

¹⁴For they were about five thousand men. He said to his disciples, “Make them sit down in groups of about fifty each.”

¹⁴Fa tokony ho dimy arivo lahy izy. Ary hoy Izy tamin'ny mpianany: Asaovy mipetraka an-tokony izy ka tokony ho dimam-polo avy.

¹⁵They did so, and made them all sit down.

¹⁵Dia nataony izany, ka nampipetraka azy rehetra izy.

¹⁶He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to the sky, he blessed them, and broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the multitude.

¹⁶Ary rehefa noraisin'i Jesosy ny mofo dimy sy ny hazandrano roa, dia niandrandra ny lanitra Izy, ka nanaovany fisaorana ireo, dia novakiny ka natolony ny mpianany harosony eny anoloan'ny vahoaka.[Na: nasiany]

¹⁷They ate, and were all filled. They gathered up twelve baskets of broken pieces that were left over.

¹⁷Dia nihinana izy rehetra ka voky; ary nangonina izay sombintsombiny sisa tsy lany, ka nisy roa ambin'ny folo harona.

¹⁸It happened, as he was praying alone, that the disciples were with him, and he asked them, “Who do the multitudes say that I am?”

¹⁸Ary raha nivavaka tao amin'ny mangingina Jesosy, sady teo aminy ny mpianany, dia nanontany azy Izy ka nanao hoe: Ataon'ny olona ho iza moa Aho?

¹⁹They answered, “‘John the Baptizer,’ but others say, ‘Elijah,’ and others, that one of the old prophets is risen again.”

¹⁹Dia namaly ireo ka nanao hoe: Jaona Mpanao-batisa; nefa ny sasany kosa manao Anao ho Elia, ary ny sasany indray manao hoe: Ny anankiray amin'ny mpaminany fahiny no efa nitsangana.

²⁰He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”

²⁰Fa hoy Izy taminy: Fa ianareo kosa manao Ahy ho iza? Dia namaly Petera ka nanao hoe: Ny Kristin'Andriamanitra.

²¹But he warned them, and commanded them to tell this to no one,

²¹Ary Izy niteny mafy azy sady nandrara azy mba tsy hilazalaza izany amin'olona

²²saying, “The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.”

²²ka nanao hoe: Ny Zanak'olona tsy maintsy hijaly mafy ka holavin'ny loholona sy ny lohan'ny mpisorona mbamin'ny mpanora-dalàna sady hovonoiny; ary amin'ny andro fahatelo dia hatsangana.

²³He said to all, “If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, TR, NU add “daily” and follow me.

²³Ary hoy koa Jesosy tamin'izy rehetra: Raha misy ta-hanaraka Ahy, aoka izy handà ny tenany, dia hitondra ny hazo fijaliany isan'andro ka hanaraka Ahy.

²⁴ For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever will lose his life for my sake, the same will save it.

²⁴Fa na iza na iza no ta-hamonjy ny ainy dia hahavery izany; ary na iza na iza no hahavery ny ainy noho ny amiko, dia izy no hamonjy izany.

²⁵ For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits his own self?

²⁵Fa inona no soa azon'ny olona, raha mahazo izao tontolo izao aza, kanefa very ny ainy, na matiantoka, izany izy?[Na: ny fanahiny]

²⁶ For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed, when he comes in his glory, and the glory of the Father, and of the holy angels.

²⁶Fa na iza na iza no ho menatra Ahy sy ny teniko, dia ho menatra azy kosa ny Zanak'olona, raha avy amin'ny voninahiny sy ny an'ny Rainy ary ny an'ny anjely masina.

²⁷ But I tell you the truth: There are some of those who stand here, who will in no way taste of death, until they see the Kingdom of God.”

²⁷Fa lazaiko aminareo tokoa: Misy ny sasany eto izay tsy mba hanandrana fahafatesana mandra-pahitany ny fanjakan'Andriamanitra.

²⁸It happened about eight days after these sayings, that he took with him Peter, John, and James, and went up onto the mountain to pray.

²⁸Ary rehefa tokony ho havaloana taorian'izany teny izany, dia nitondra an'i Petera sy Jaona ary Jakoba Izy ka niakatra tany an-tendrombohitra hivavaka.

²⁹As he was praying, the appearance of his face was altered, and his clothing became white and dazzling.

²⁹Ary raha mbola nivavaka Izy, dia niova ny toetry ny tarehiny, ary ny fitafiany dia tonga fotsy sady nanelatrelatra.

³⁰Behold, two men were talking with him, who were Moses and Elijah,

³⁰Ary, indreo, nisy roa lahy niresaka taminy, dia Mosesy sy Elia,

³¹who appeared in glory, and spoke of his departure, literally, “exodus” which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.

³¹izay niseho tamin-boninahitra ka nilaza ny fialany, izay efa hefainy any Jerosalema.

³²Now Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep, but when they were fully awake, they saw his glory, and the two men who stood with him.

³²Ary efa navesatry ny tory ny mason'i Petera sy ny namany; nefa nahari-tory ihany izy, dia nahita ny voninahitr'i Jesosy sy izy roa lahy izay teo aminy.[Na: Nony nahatsiaro tsara]

³³It happened, as they were parting from him, that Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let’s make three tents: one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah,” not knowing what he said.

³³Ary tamin'ny nisarahan'izy roa lahy taminy dia hoy Petera tamin'i Jesosy: Tompoko, tsara raha mitoetra eto isika; ary aoka izahay hanao tranolay telo: ny anankiray ho Anao, ny anankiray ho an'i Mosesy, ary ny anankiray ho an'i Elia; nefa tsy fantany izay nolazainy.

³⁴While he said these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered into the cloud.

³⁴Ary raha mbola niteny izany izy, dia nisy rahona niseho nanarona azy ireo; ary raha niditra tao anatin'ny rahona ireo, dia raiki-tahotra ny mpianatra telo lahy.

³⁵A voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him!”

³⁵Ary nisy feo avy tao amin'ny rahona nanao hoe: Ity no Zanako voafidiko; Izy no henoy.

³⁶When the voice came, Jesus was found alone. They were silent, and told no one in those days any of the things which they had seen.

³⁶Ary rehefa nitsahatra ny feo, dia Jesosy irery ihany no hita. Ary nangina izy ireo ka tsy nilazalaza tamin'olona na dia iray akory aza tamin'izany andro izany ny amin'izay zavatra efa hitany.

³⁷It happened on the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, that a great multitude met him.

³⁷Ary nony ampitson'iny, raha nidina avy teo an-tendrombohitra izy ireo, dia nisy vahoaka betsaka nitsena an'i Jesosy.

³⁸Behold, a man from the crowd called out, saying, “Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only child.

³⁸Ary, indro, nisy lehilahy anankiray avy teo amin'ny vahoaka nitaraina mafy hoe: Mpampianatra ô, masina Hianao, mamindrà fo amin'ny zanako! fa zanako-lahy tokana izy.

³⁹Behold, a spirit takes him, he suddenly cries out, and it convulses him so that he foams, and it hardly departs from him, bruising him severely.

³⁹Ary, indro, misy fanahy mahazo azy, ka miantsoantso tampoka izy, ary ny fanahy mampifanintontsintona ny tenany sy mampandoa vory azy, ary sarotra ny fialany aminy ka mahatorotorovana azy.

⁴⁰I begged your disciples to cast it out, and they couldn’t.”

⁴⁰Ary nangataka tamin'ny mpianatrao aho mba hamoaka izany, fa tsy afany.

⁴¹Jesus answered, “Faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here.”

⁴¹Ary Jesosy namaly ka nanao hoe: Ry taranaka sady tsy mino no efa nivadika, mandra-pahoviana no hitoerako aminareo sy handeferako aminareo? Ento etỳ ny zanakao.

⁴²While he was still coming, the demon threw him down and convulsed him violently. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.

⁴²Ary raha mbola nanatona izy, dia nampihinjitrinjitra sy nampifanintontsintona azy ny demonia. Ary Jesosy niteny mafy ny fanahy maloto ka nahasitrana ny zazalahy; dia natolony tamin-drainy indray izy.

⁴³They were all astonished at the majesty of God. But while all were marveling at all the things which Jesus did, he said to his disciples,

⁴³Dia talanjona izy rehetra noho ny fiandrianan'Andriamanitra. Ny nilazan'i Jesosy fanindroany ny hahafatesany sy ny hitsanganany indray. Fa raha talanjona izy rehetra tamin'izay rehetra nataon'i Jesosy, dia hoy Izy tamin'ny mpianany:

⁴⁴ “Let these words sink into your ears, for the Son of Man will be delivered up into the hands of men.”

⁴⁴Ampidironareo ao amin'ny sofinareo izany teny izany; fa ny Zanak'olona efa hatolotra eo an-tànan'ny olona.

⁴⁵But they didn’t understand this saying. It was concealed from them, that they should not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.

⁴⁵Nefa tsy azon'ny mpianatra io teny io sady nafenina azy izany mba tsy ho fantany; ary natahotra hanontany Azy ny amin'io teny io izy.

⁴⁶There arose an argument among them about which of them was the greatest.

⁴⁶Dia nisy fisainana niseho tao am-pony ny amin'izay ho lehibe ao aminy.

⁴⁷Jesus, perceiving the reasoning of their hearts, took a little child, and set him by his side,

⁴⁷Ary Jesosy nahalala ny fisainan'ny fony, dia nandray zaza anankiray ka nametraka azy teo anoloany;

⁴⁸and said to them, “Whoever receives this little child in my name receives me. Whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For whoever is least among you all, this one will be great.”

⁴⁸ary hoy Izy tamin'ireo: Na zovy na zovy no mandray io zaza io noho ny anarako dia mandray Ahy; ary na zovy na zovy no mandray Ahy dia mandray Izay naniraka Ahy; fa izay kely indrindra ao aminareo rehetra, dia izy no lehibe.

⁴⁹John answered, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he doesn’t follow with us.”

⁴⁹Ary Jaona namaly ka nanao hoe: Tompoko, izahay nahita anankiray namoaka demonia tamin'ny anaranao, ka noraranay izy, satria tsy manaraka antsika.

⁵⁰Jesus said to him, “Don’t forbid him, for he who is not against us is for us.”

⁵⁰Fa hoy Jesosy taminy: Aza raràna, fa izay tsy manohitra anareo dia momba anareo.

⁵¹It came to pass, when the days were near that he should be taken up, he intently set his face to go to Jerusalem,

⁵¹Ary rehefa ho tonga ny fotoana hampiakarana an'i Jesosy, dia niatrika hankany Jerosalema Izy.

⁵²and sent messengers before his face. They went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, so as to prepare for him.

⁵²Ary nandefa iraka hialoha Azy Izy; dia nandeha ireo ka niditra tao amin'ny vohitra anankiray izay an'ny Samaritana hamboatra ho Azy.

⁵³They didn’t receive him, because he was traveling with his face set towards Jerusalem.

⁵³Fa tsy nandray Azy ny olona, satria nandroso toa ho any Jerosalema Izy.

⁵⁴When his disciples, James and John, saw this, they said, “Lord, do you want us to command fire to come down from the sky, and destroy them, just as Elijah did?”

⁵⁴Ary raha hitan'i Jakoba sy Jaona mpianany izany, dia hoy izy: Tompoko, tianao va raha hiteny izahay mba hisy afo milatsaka avy any an-danitra handevona azy?[Ampio hoe: toy ny nataon'i Elia]

⁵⁵But he turned and rebuked them, “You don’t know of what kind of spirit you are.

⁵⁵Fa Izy nitodika, dia niteny mafy azy.[Ampio hoe: ka nanao hoe: Tsy fantatrareo ny toetry ny fanahy izay anareo. Fa ny Zanak'olona tsy tonga hahavery ny ain'olona, fa hamonjy azy]

⁵⁶ For the Son of Man didn’t come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them.” They went to another village.

⁵⁶Dia nankany amin'ny vohitra hafa Izy.

⁵⁷As they went on the way, a certain man said to him, “I want to follow you wherever you go, Lord.”

⁵⁷Ary nony nandroso teny an-dalana izy, dia nisy anankiray nanao tamin'i Jesosy hoe: Hanaraka Anao aho na aiza na aiza halehanao.

⁵⁸Jesus said to him, “The foxes have holes, and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.”

⁵⁸Fa hoy Jesosy taminy: Ny amboahaolo manan-davaka, ary ny voro-manidina manana fialofana; fa ny Zanak'olona tsy mba manana izay hipetrahan'ny lohany.[volpa]

⁵⁹He said to another, “Follow me!” But he said, “Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.”

⁵⁹Ary hoy Izy tamin'ny anankiray koa: Manaraha Ahy. Fa hoy kosa izy: Tompoko, aoka aho aloha handeha handevina ny raiko.

⁶⁰But Jesus said to him, “Leave the dead to bury their own dead, but you go and announce the Kingdom of God.”

⁶⁰Fa hoy Jesosy taminy: Aoka ny maty handevina ny maty ao aminy; fa ianao kosa mandehana, ka mitoria ny fanjakan'Andriamanitra.

⁶¹Another also said, “I want to follow you, Lord, but first allow me to say good-bye to those who are at my house.”

⁶¹Ary hoy ny anankiray koa: Tompoko, hanaraka Anao ihany aho; fa aoka aho aloha handeha hanao veloma ny ao an-tranoko.Fa hoy Jesosy taminy: Tsy misy olona mitana fangady tarihina ary miherika ka miendrika ho ao amin'ny fanjakan'Andriamanitra.

⁶²But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the Kingdom of God.”

⁶²Fa hoy Jesosy taminy: Tsy misy olona mitana fangady tarihina ary miherika ka miendrika ho ao amin'ny fanjakan'Andriamanitra.
