¹The beginning of the Good News of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

¹Ny niandohan'ny filazantsaran'i Jesosy Kristy, Zanak'Andriamanitra.

²As it is written in the prophets, “Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you. Malachi 3:1

²Araka izay voasoratra ao amin'Isaia mpaminany hoe: Indro, Izaho maniraka ny irako hialoha Anao, Izay hamboatra ny lalanao (Mal 3. 1); [Na: ao amin'ny mpaminany]

³The voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Make ready the way of the Lord! Make his paths straight!’” Isaiah 40:3

³Injany! misy feon'ny miantso mafy any an-efitra hoe: Amboary ny lalan'i Jehovah. Ataovy mahitsy ny lalan-kalehany (Isa 40. 3),

⁴John came baptizing or, immersing in the wilderness and preaching the baptism of repentance for forgiveness of sins.

⁴dia niseho Jaona, izay nanao batisa tany an-efitra ka nitory ny batisan'ny fibebahana ho famelan-keloka.

⁵All the country of Judea and all those of Jerusalem went out to him. They were baptized by him in the Jordan river, confessing their sins.

⁵Dia nandeha nanatona azy ny tany Jodia rehetra sy ny mponina rehetra tany Jerosalema, ka nataony batisa tao amin'ny ony Jordana ireny, rehefa niaiky ny fahotany.

⁶John was clothed with camel’s hair and a leather belt around his waist. He ate locusts and wild honey.

⁶Ary Jaona nitafy lamba volon-drameva; ary fehin-kibo hoditra no tamin'ny valahany, ary ny fihinany dia valala sy tantely remby.

⁷He preached, saying, “After me comes he who is mightier than I, the thong of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and loosen.

⁷Ary nitory izy ka nanao hoe: Avy ao aoriako Ilay mahery noho izaho, ka tsy miendrika hiondrika hamaha ny fehin-kapany aza aho.

⁸I baptized you in The Greek word (en) translated here as “in” could also be translated as “with” in some contexts. water, but he will baptize you in the Holy Spirit.”

⁸Izaho efa nanao batisa anareo tamin'ny rano, fa Izy kosa hanao batisa anareo amin'ny Fanahy Masina.

⁹It happened in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan.

⁹Ary tamin'izany andro izany dia tonga avy tany Nazareta any Galilia Jesosy ka nataon'i Jaona batisa tao Jordana.

¹⁰Immediately coming up from the water, he saw the heavens parting, and the Spirit descending on him like a dove.

¹⁰Ary raha vao niakatra avy teo amin'ny rano Izy, dia hitany ny lanitra nisokatra, ary ny Fanahy nidina tahaka ny voromailala ka nankeo amboniny.

¹¹A voice came out of the sky, “You are my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”

¹¹Ary nisy feo avy tany an-danitra nanao hoe: Hianao no Zanako malalako, Hianao no sitrako.

¹²Immediately the Spirit drove him out into the wilderness.

¹²Ary niaraka tamin'izay dia nampandehanin'ny Fanahy ho any an-efitra Izy.[Gr. noroahin']

¹³He was there in the wilderness forty days tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals; and the angels were serving him.

¹³Ary tany an-efitra efa-polo andro Izy ka nalain'i Satana fanahy; ary teo amin'ny bibi-dia Izy, ary ny anjely nanompo Azy.

¹⁴Now after John was taken into custody, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the Good News of the Kingdom of God,

¹⁴Ary rehefa voasambotra Jaona, dia nankany Galilia Jesosy nitory ny filazantsaran'Andriamanitra

¹⁵and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God is at hand! Repent, and believe in the Good News.”

¹⁵ka nanao hoe: Efa tonga ny fotoana, ka efa akaiky ny fanjakan'Andriamanitra; mibebaha ianareo ka minoa ny filazantsara.

¹⁶Passing along by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.

¹⁶Ary nony nandalo teny amoron'ny Ranomasin'i Galilia Izy, dia nahita an'i Simona sy Andrea, rahalahin'i Simona, nanarato teo amin'ny ranomasina; fa mpanarato izy.

¹⁷Jesus said to them, “Come after me, and I will make you into fishers for men.”

¹⁷Ary hoy Jesosy taminy: Andeha hanaraka Ahy, fa hataoko mpanarato olona ianareo.

¹⁸Immediately they left their nets, and followed him.

¹⁸Dia nandao ny harato niaraka tamin'izay izy ka nanaraka Azy.

¹⁹Going on a little further from there, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John, his brother, who were also in the boat mending the nets.

¹⁹Ary rehefa nandroso kelikely Izy, nahita an'i Jakoba, zanak'i Zebedio, Jaona rahalahiny, izay teo an-tsambokely koa namboatra ny haratony.

²⁰Immediately he called them, and they left their father, Zebedee, in the boat with the hired servants, and went after him.

²⁰Dia niantso azy niaraka tamin'izay Izy; ary izy mirahalahy nandao an'i Zebedio rainy teo an-tsambokely mbamin'ny olona nokaramainy, ka dia nanaraka an'i Jesosy.

²¹They went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath day he entered into the synagogue and taught.

²¹Ary nankany Kapernaomy izy ireo; nony tamin'ny Sabata, dia niditra tao amin'ny synagoga niaraka tamin'izay Jesosy ka nampianatra.

²²They were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as having authority, and not as the scribes.

²²Dia talanjona ny olona tamin'ny fampianarany, satria nampianatra azy tahaka izay manana fahefana Izy, fa tsy mba tahaka ny mpanora-dalàna.

²³Immediately there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit, and he cried out,

²³Ary niaraka tamin'izay dia nisy olona teo amin'ny synagogany, izay azon'ny fanahy maloto; ary niantso mafy ralehilahy

²⁴saying, “Ha! What do we have to do with you, Jesus, you Nazarene? Have you come to destroy us? I know you who you are: the Holy One of God!”

²⁴ka nanao hoe: Moa mifaninona akory izahay sy Hianao, ry Jesosy avy any Nazareta? Avy handringana anay va Hianao? Fantatro fa Ilay Masin'Andriamanitra Hianao.

²⁵Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be quiet, and come out of him!”

²⁵Ary Jesosy niteny mafy azy ka nanao hoe: Mangina ianao ka mivoaha aminy.

²⁶The unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him.

²⁶Ary ny fanahy maloto nampifanintontsintona ny tenan'ilay marary, dia niantso tamin'ny feo mahery ka niala taminy.

²⁷They were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, “What is this? A new teaching? For with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him!”

²⁷Dia gaga ny olona rehetra ka nifanontany hoe: Manao ahoana re izao zavatra izao? Fampianarana vaovao misy fahefana izao! fa ny fanahy maloto aza no didiany, ka dia manaiky Azy.

²⁸The report of him went out immediately everywhere into all the region of Galilee and its surrounding area.

²⁸Ary ny lazany dia niely niaraka tamin'izay teny tontolo eny tamin'ny tany rehetra eran'i Galilia.

²⁹Immediately, when they had come out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

²⁹Ary niaraka tamin'izay, raha nivoaka avy tao amin'ny synagoga izy, dia niditra tao an-tranon'i Simona sy Andrea Jesosy ary Jakoba sy Jaona.

³⁰Now Simon’s wife’s mother lay sick with a fever, and immediately they told him about her.

³⁰Ary ny rafozam-bavin'i Simona nandry teo nanavin'ny tazo; ary niaraka tamin'izay dia nilaza azy taminy izy ireo.

³¹He came and took her by the hand, and raised her up. The fever left her, and she served them.

³¹Dia nanatona Jesosy ka nandray ny tànany ary nanarina azy; dia afaka ny tazony, ka dia nanompo azy izy.

³²At evening, when the sun had set, they brought to him all who were sick, and those who were possessed by demons.

³²Ary nony hariva ny andro, ka nilentika ny masoandro, dia nentina tany aminy ny marary rehetra sy ny demoniaka.

³³All the city was gathered together at the door.

³³Ary ny tao an-tanàna rehetra dia tafangona teo anoloan'ny varavarana avokoa.

³⁴He healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons. He didn’t allow the demons to speak, because they knew him.

³⁴Ary nahasitrana olona maro izay nararin'ny aretina samy hafa Izy sady namoaka demonia maro; ary tsy navelany hiteny ny demonia, satria nahafantatra Azy ireny.

³⁵Early in the morning, while it was still dark, he rose up and went out, and departed into a deserted place, and prayed there.

³⁵Ary nifoha maraina alina koa Izy, dia nivoaka nankany an-tany foana ka nivavaka tany.

³⁶Simon and those who were with him followed after him;

³⁶Ary dia nandeha nitady Azy Simona sy ny namany.

³⁷and they found him, and told him, “Everyone is looking for you.”

³⁷Ary nahita Azy izy, dia nanao taminy hoe: Ny olona rehetra mitady Anao.

³⁸He said to them, “Let’s go elsewhere into the next towns, that I may preach there also, because I came out for this reason.”

³⁸Fa hoy kosa Izy taminy: Andeha isika hiala hankany amin'ny tanàna akaiky, mba hitoriako teny any koa; fa izay no nahatongavako.

³⁹He went into their synagogues throughout all Galilee, preaching and casting out demons.

³⁹Dia nandeha Izy ka nitori-teny tao amin'ny synagogan'ny olona eran'i Galilia sady namoaka ny demonia.

⁴⁰A leper came to him, begging him, kneeling down to him, and saying to him, “If you want to, you can make me clean.”

⁴⁰Ary nisy boka nanatona Azy ka nitaraina taminy sady nandohalika teo anatrehany ka nanao taminy hoe: Raha mety Hianao, dia mahay manadio ahy.

⁴¹Being moved with compassion, he stretched out his hand, and touched him, and said to him, “I want to. Be made clean.”

⁴¹Ary Jesosy dia onena azy ka naninjitra ny tànany, dia nanendry azy ka nanao taminy hoe: Mety Aho; madiova ianao.

⁴²When he had said this, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was made clean.

⁴²Ary niaraka tamin'izay dia niala taminy ny habokany, ka dia nadio izy.

⁴³He strictly warned him, and immediately sent him out,

⁴³Ary namepetra azy mafy Jesosy, dia nampandeha azy niaraka tamin'izay

⁴⁴and said to him, “See you say nothing to anybody, but go show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing the things which Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.”

⁴⁴ka nanao taminy hoe: Tandremo tsara mba tsy hisy holazainao na amin'iza na amin'iza; fa mandehana, misehoa amin'ny mpisorona, ka manatera ny fanadiovana anao, izay nandidian'i Mosesy, ho vavolombelona amin'ireo.Nefa lasa ralehilahy ka nilazalaza sy nampiely izany zavatra izany, ka dia tsy nahazo niditra miharihary tao an-tanàna intsony Jesosy; fa nitoetra tany ivelany tamin'ny tany foana Izy, dia nanatona Azy ny olona avy eny tontolo eny.

⁴⁵But he went out, and began to proclaim it much, and to spread about the matter, so that Jesus could no more openly enter into a city, but was outside in desert places: and they came to him from everywhere.

⁴⁵Nefa lasa ralehilahy ka nilazalaza sy nampiely izany zavatra izany, ka dia tsy nahazo niditra miharihary tao an-tanàna intsony Jesosy; fa nitoetra tany ivelany tamin'ny tany foana Izy, dia nanatona Azy ny olona avy eny tontolo eny.
