¹When they drew near to Jerusalem, to Bethsphage TR & NU read “Bethphage” instead of “Bethsphage” and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,

¹Ary raha nanakaiky any Jerosalema tao Betifaga sy Betania any an-tendrombohitra Oliva izy, dia naniraka roa lahy tamin'ny mpianany Jesosy

²and said to them, “Go your way into the village that is opposite you. Immediately as you enter into it, you will find a young donkey tied, on which no one has sat. Untie him, and bring him.

²ka nanao taminy hoe: Mankanesa amin'iroa vohitra tandrifinareo iroa; ary raha vao miditra eo ianareo, miaraka amin'izay dia hahita zana-boriky mifatotra, izay tsy mbola nitaingenan'olona; vahao izy, ka ento etỳ.

³ If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord needs him;’ and immediately he will send him back here.”

³Ary raha misy olona manao aminareo hoe: Ahoana no anaovanareo izao? dia lazao hoe: Misy raharaha analan'ny Tompo azy; dia havelany ho entina etỳ indray miaraka amin'izay izy.

⁴They went away, and found a young donkey tied at the door outside in the open street, and they untied him.

⁴Dia nandeha izy ka nahita zana-boriky nifatotra teo ala-trano anilan'ny varavarana teo an-dalana, dia novahany izy.

⁵Some of those who stood there asked them, “What are you doing, untying the young donkey?”

⁵Ary ny olona sasany teo nanao taminy hoe: Ahoana no amahanareo ny zana-boriky?

⁶They said to them just as Jesus had said, and they let them go.

⁶Ary izy nilaza taminy araka izay nolazain'i Jesosy taminy, dia navelan'ny olona handeha izy.

⁷They brought the young donkey to Jesus, and threw their garments on it, and Jesus sat on it.

⁷Ary nentiny teo amin'i Jesosy ny zana-boriky, dia nataony teo amboniny ny lambany; ary Jesosy nitaingina azy.

⁸Many spread their garments on the way, and others were cutting down branches from the trees, and spreading them on the road.

⁸Ary maro no namelatra ny lambany teny an-dalana; ary ny sasany kosa nampihahaka rantsan-kazo izay efa nalainy tany an-tsaha.

⁹Those who went in front, and those who followed, cried out, “Hosanna “Hosanna” means “save us” or “help us, we pray.” ! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Psalm 118:25-26

⁹Ary izay nandeha teo alohany sy izay nanaraka teo aoriany dia samy niantso hoe: Hosana! Isaorana anie Izay avy amin'ny anaran'i Jehovah!

¹⁰Blessed is the kingdom of our father David that is coming in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”

¹⁰Hotahina anie ny fanjakana izay avy, dia ny an'i Davida raintsika! Hosana any amin'ny avo indrindra (Sal. 118. 26).

¹¹Jesus entered into the temple in Jerusalem. When he had looked around at everything, it being now evening, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.

¹¹Ary Jesosy niditra tany Jerosalema ka nankeo an-kianjan'ny tempoly; ary rehefa nijerijery ny zavatra rehetra Izy, sady efa hariva ny andro tamin'izay, dia niala Izy mbamin'ny roa ambin'ny folo lahy ka nankany Betania.

¹²The next day, when they had come out from Bethany, he was hungry.

¹²Ary nony ampitson'iny, rehefa niala tany Betania izy, dia noana Jesosy.

¹³Seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came to see if perhaps he might find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.

¹³Ary nahatsinjo aviavy anankiray mandravina erỳ lavidavitra Izy, dia nankeo, fa toa hahita voany eo aminy; kanjo nony tonga teo aminy Izy, dia tsy nahita na inona na inona, afa-tsy ravina ihany; fa tsy mbola tonga ny taom-pamoazan'ny aviavy.

¹⁴Jesus told it, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again!” and his disciples heard it.

¹⁴Ary Jesosy namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Aza misy mihinana voa avy aminao intsony mandrakizay. Ary ny mpianany nahare izany.

¹⁵They came to Jerusalem, and Jesus entered into the temple, and began to throw out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money changers, and the seats of those who sold the doves.

¹⁵Ary tonga tany Jerosalema izy: ary Jesosy niditra teo an-kianjan'ny tempoly, dia nandroaka izay nivarotra sy izay nividy teo an-kianjan'ny tempoly sady nanjera ny latabatry ny mpanakalo vola sy ny fipetrahan'ny mpivarotra ny voromailala;

¹⁶He would not allow anyone to carry a container through the temple.

¹⁶ary tsy navelany hisy olona hitondra fanaka handeha hamaky ny kianjan'ny tempoly.

¹⁷He taught, saying to them, “Isn’t it written, ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all the nations?’ Isaiah 56:7 But you have made it a den of robbers!” Jeremiah 7:11

¹⁷Dia nampianatra Izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Tsy voasoratra hoe va: Ny tranoko hatao hoe trano fivavahana ho an'ny firenena rehetra? (Isa. 56. 7); fa ianareo kosa efa nanao azy ho zohy fieren'ny jiolahy (Jery. 7. 11).

¹⁸The chief priests and the scribes heard it, and sought how they might destroy him. For they feared him, because all the multitude was astonished at his teaching.

¹⁸Ary nahare izany ny lohan'ny mpisorona mbamin'ny mpanora-dalàna, ka dia nitady izay hamonoany Azy; saingy natahotra Azy izy, satria talanjona ny vahoaka rehetra noho ny fampianarany.

¹⁹When evening came, he went out of the city.

¹⁹Ary isan-kariva dia niala tao an-tanàna Izy.

²⁰As they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away from the roots.

²⁰Ary nony maraina, raha nandalo izy, dia hitany fa efa nalazo hatramin'ny fakany ilay aviavy.

²¹Peter, remembering, said to him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree which you cursed has withered away.”

²¹Ary Petera nahatsiahy ka nanao taminy hoe: Raby ô, indro fa efa malazo ilay aviavy nozoninao.

²²Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God.

²²Ary Jesosy namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Manàna finoana an'Andriamanitra.

²³ For most certainly I tell you, whoever may tell this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ and doesn’t doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is happening; he shall have whatever he says.

²³Lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa: Na zovy na zovy no hilaza amin'ity tendrombohitra ity hoe: Mifindrà, ka mianjerà any an-dranomasina, ka tsy hiahanahana ao am-pony, fa hino fa ho tonga ny zavatra lazainy, dia ho azony izany.

²⁴ Therefore I tell you, all things whatever you pray and ask for, believe that you have received them, and you shall have them.

²⁴Koa lazaiko aminareo: Na inona na inona tononinareo amin'ny fivavahana sy angatahinareo, dia minoa fa efa nandray ianareo, dia ho azonareo izany.

²⁵ Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone; so that your Father, who is in heaven, may also forgive you your transgressions.

²⁵Ary raha mitsangana mivavaka ianareo, ka misy olona anananareo alahelo, dia mamelà ny helony, mba havelan'ny Rainareo Izay any an-danitra kosa ny helokareo.

²⁶ But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your transgressions.”

²⁶[Ampio hoe: 26 Fa raha ianareo tsy mamela heloka, ny Rainareo Izay any an-danitra kosa tsy hamela ny helokareo]

²⁷They came again to Jerusalem, and as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders came to him,

²⁷Ary tonga tany Jerosalema indray izy; ary raha nitsangantsangana teo an-kianjan'ny tempoly Jesosy, dia nanatona Azy ny lohan'ny mpisorona sy ny mpanora-dalàna ary ny loholona

²⁸and they began saying to him, “By what authority do you do these things? Or who gave you this authority to do these things?”

²⁸ka nanao taminy hoe: Fahefana manao ahoana no anaovanao izao zavatra izao? Ary iza no nanome Anao izany fahefana izany hanaovanao izao zavatra izao?

²⁹Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one question. Answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.

²⁹Ary Jesosy nanao taminy hoe: Hanontany anareo zavatra iray loha kosa Aho, ka valio Aho; ary dia holazaiko aminareo izay fahefana anaovako izao zavatra izao:

³⁰ The baptism of John—was it from heaven, or from men? Answer me.”

³⁰Ny batisan'i Jaona avy tany an-danitra va, sa avy tamin'ny olona? Valio Aho.

³¹They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we should say, ‘From heaven;’ he will say, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’

³¹Ary izy ireo niara-nisaina ka nanao hoe: Raha holazaintsika hoe mantsy: Avy tany an-danitra, dia hataony hoe: Nahoana ary no tsy nino azy ianareo?

³²If we should say, ‘From men’”—they feared the people, for all held John to really be a prophet.

³²Fa raha holazaintsika hoe kosa: Avy tamin'ny olona, natahotra ny olona izy, satria neken'ny olona rehetra fa mpaminany tokoa Jaona.Dia namaly an'i Jesosy izy ka nanao hoe: Tsy fantatray. Ary Jesosy nanao taminy hoe: Izaho kosa tsy hilaza aminareo izay fahefana anaovako izao zavatra izao.

³³They answered Jesus, “We don’t know.” Jesus said to them, “Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.”

³³Dia namaly an'i Jesosy izy ka nanao hoe: Tsy fantatray. Ary Jesosy nanao taminy hoe: Izaho kosa tsy hilaza aminareo izay fahefana anaovako izao zavatra izao.
