¹It was now two days before the feast of the Passover and the unleavened bread, and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might seize him by deception, and kill him.

¹Rehefa indroa andro no sisa tsy hahatongavan'ny Paska, fihinanana ny mofo tsy misy masirasira, dia nitady hisambotra an'i Jesosy tamin'ny fitaka ny lohan'ny mpisorona sy ny mpanora-dalàna mba hamonoany Azy.

²For they said, “Not during the feast, because there might be a riot of the people.”

²Nefa hoy izy: Tsy amin'ny andro firavoravoana, fandrao hampitabataba ny vahoaka.

³While he was at Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at the table, a woman came having an alabaster jar of ointment of pure nard—very costly. She broke the jar, and poured it over his head.

³Ary nony tany Betania Jesosy tao an-tranon'i Simona boka ka nipetraka nihinana, dia avy ny vehivavy anankiray nitondra tavoara alabastara feno menaka manitra nisy narda saro-bidy indrindra; dia novakiny ny tavoara, ka naidiny tamin'ny lohan'i Jesosy ny menaka.

⁴But there were some who were indignant among themselves, saying, “Why has this ointment been wasted?

⁴Ary nisy ny sasany tezitra ka nifampilaza hoe: Inona no anton'izao fandaniam-poana ny menaka manitra izao?

⁵For this might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii, 300 denarii was about a years wages for an agricultural laborer. and given to the poor.” They grumbled against her.

⁵Fa azo namidy ho lafo tsy omby denaria telon-jato iny menaka manitra iny ka homena ny malahelo. Dia tezitra indrindra tamin-dravehivavy ireo.

⁶But Jesus said, “Leave her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a good work for me.

⁶Fa hoy Jesosy taminy: Avelao izy; nahoana ianareo no mampalahelo azy? Asa soa no nataony tamiko.

⁷ For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you want to, you can do them good; but you will not always have me.

⁷Fa ny malahelo dia eto aminareo mandrakariva, ary na oviana na oviana no tianareo hanaovana soa aminy, dia mahazo manao ianareo; fa Izaho kosa tsy mba ho eto aminareo mandrakariva.

⁸ She has done what she could. She has anointed my body beforehand for the burying.

⁸Efa nanao izay azony natao izy: namonjy nanosotra ny tenako hanamboarany Ahy halevina izy.

⁹ Most certainly I tell you, wherever this Good News may be preached throughout the whole world, that which this woman has done will also be spoken of for a memorial of her.”

⁹Ary lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa: Na aiza na aiza amin'izao tontolo izao no hitoriana ny filazantsara, dia holazaina koa izao nataon-dravehivavy izao mba ho fahatsiarovana azy.

¹⁰Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve, went away to the chief priests, that he might deliver him to them.

¹⁰Ary Jodasy Iskariota, ilay isan'ny roa ambin'ny folo lahy, dia nankeo amin'ny lohan'ny mpisorona hamadika an'i Jesosy aminy.

¹¹They, when they heard it, were glad, and promised to give him money. He sought how he might conveniently deliver him.

¹¹Ary rehefa nandre izany izy ireo, dia faly ka nanaiky hanome vola azy. Ary Jodasy dia nitady izay andro hahazoany mamadika Azy.

¹²On the first day of unleavened bread, when they sacrificed the Passover, his disciples asked him, “Where do you want us to go and prepare that you may eat the Passover?”

¹²Ary tamin'ny voalohan'ny andro fihinanana ny mofo tsy misy masirasira, izay famonoana ny Paska, dia hoy ny mpianany taminy: Aiza no tianao halehanay hanamboaranay mba hihinananao ny Paska?

¹³He sent two of his disciples, and said to them, “Go into the city, and there you will meet a man carrying a pitcher of water. Follow him,

¹³Dia naniraka roa lahy tamin'ny mpianany Izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Mankanesa any an-tanàna, ary hisy lehilahy mitondra siny feno rano hifanena aminareo; dia manaraha azy.

¹⁴ and wherever he enters in, tell the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says, “Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?”’

¹⁴Ary lazao amin'ny tompon'ny trano izay hidirany hoe: Izao no lazain'ny Mpampianatra: Aiza ny efi-trano hiarahako mihinana ny Paska amin'ny mpianatro?

¹⁵ He will himself show you a large upper room furnished and ready. Get ready for us there.”

¹⁵Ary izy hanoro anareo efi-trano malalaka ambony rihana izay voaisy fipetrahana sady voavoatra tsara; any no amboary ho antsika.

¹⁶His disciples went out, and came into the city, and found things as he had said to them, and they prepared the Passover.

¹⁶Ary ny mpianatra nandeha, dia tonga tany an-tanàna ka nahita araka izay nolazainy taminy; dia namboatra ny Paska izy.

¹⁷When it was evening he came with the twelve.

¹⁷Ary nony hariva ny andro, dia tonga Izy sy ny roa ambin'ny folo lahy.

¹⁸As they sat and were eating, Jesus said, “Most certainly I tell you, one of you will betray me—he who eats with me.”

¹⁸Ary raha nipetraka nihinana izy, dia hoy Jesosy: Lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa fa ny anankiray aminareo, dia izay iray miara-mihinana amiko, no hamadika Ahy.

¹⁹They began to be sorrowful, and to ask him one by one, “Surely not I?” And another said, “Surely not I?”

¹⁹Dia nalahelo izy, ka samy nanontany Azy tsirairay hoe: Izaho va izany?

²⁰He answered them, “It is one of the twelve, he who dips with me in the dish.

²⁰Ary Izy nanao taminy hoe: Izay anankiray amin'ny roa ambin'ny folo lahy miara-manatsoboka amiko ao anatin'ny lovia no izy.

²¹ For the Son of Man goes, even as it is written about him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for that man if he had not been born.”

²¹Fa ny Zanak'olona dia mandeha tokoa, araka ny nanoratana Azy, nefa lozan'izay olona hahazoana ny Zanak'olona hatolotra! Tsara ho an'izany olona izany raha tsy ary akory.

²²As they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had blessed, he broke it, and gave to them, and said, “Take, eat. This is my body.”

²²Ary raha mbola nihinana izy, Jesosy nandray mofo; ka nony efa nisaotra, dia novakiny ka natolony azy ary nataony hoe: Raiso, ity no tenako.

²³He took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave to them. They all drank of it.

²³Dia nandray kapoaka Izy, ka nony efa nisaotra, dia natolony azy; ka dia nisotroan'izy rehetra izany.

²⁴He said to them, “This is my blood of the new covenant, which is poured out for many.

²⁴Ary hoy Izy taminy: Ity no rako amin'ny fanekena, izay alatsaka hamonjy ny maro.[Na: fanekena vaovao]

²⁵ Most certainly I tell you, I will no more drink of the fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it anew in the Kingdom of God.”

²⁵Lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa: Tsy mba hisotro ny vokatry ny voaloboka intsony Aho mandre-pihavin'ny andro hisotroako izay vaovao any amin'ny fanjakan'Andriamanitra.

²⁶When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

²⁶Ary rehefa nihira fiderana izy, dia lasa nankany an-tendrombohitra Oliva.

²⁷Jesus said to them, “All of you will be made to stumble because of me tonight, for it is written, ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.’ Zechariah 13:7

²⁷Ary hoy Jesosy taminy: Ho tafintohina avokoa ianareo rehetra; fa voasoratra hoe: Hamely ny mpiandry Aho, dia hihahaka ny ondry (Zak. 13. 7).

²⁸ However, after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee.”

²⁸Fa rehefa mitsangana Aho, dia hialoha anareo ho any Galilia.

²⁹But Peter said to him, “Although all will be offended, yet I will not.”

²⁹Fa hoy Petera taminy: Na dia ho tafintohina avokoa aza ny olona rehetra, izaho tsy mba ho tafintohina.

³⁰Jesus said to him, “Most certainly I tell you, that you today, even this night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.”

³⁰Ary hoy Jesosy taminy: Lazaiko aminao marina tokoa: Anio, dia amin'ity alina ity, raha tsy mbola misy akoho maneno fanindroany, dia handà Ahy intelo ianao.

³¹But he spoke all the more, “If I must die with you, I will not deny you.” They all said the same thing.

³¹Fa vao mainka niteny mafy dia mafy izy hoe: Na dia hiara-maty aminao aza aho, tsy mba handà Anao tokoa aho. Ary toy izany koa no nolazain'izy rehetra.

³²They came to a place which was named Gethsemane. He said to his disciples, “Sit here, while I pray.”

³²Ary tonga tany amin'ny saha izay atao hoe Getsemane izy; dia hoy Jesosy tamin'ny mpianany: Mipetraha eto ianareo mandra-pivavako.

³³He took with him Peter, James, and John, and began to be greatly troubled and distressed.

³³Ary nitondra an'i Petera sy Jakoba sy Jaona Izy, dia talanjona sady ory indrindra.

³⁴He said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here, and watch.”

³⁴Ary hoy Izy taminy: Fadiranovana loatra ny fanahiko toy ny efa ho faty; mitoera eto, ka miareta tory.

³⁵He went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass away from him.

³⁵Ary nony nandroso kelikely Izy, dia niankohoka tamin'ny tany ka nivavaka mba hialan'izany ora izany aminy, raha azo atao.

³⁶He said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible to you. Please remove this cup from me. However, not what I desire, but what you desire.”

³⁶Ary hoy Izy: Aba, Raiko ô, ny zavatra rehetra hainao; esory amiko ity kapoaka ity; nefa aoka tsy ny sitrapoko anie no hatao, fa ny Anao.

³⁷He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “Simon, are you sleeping? Couldn’t you watch one hour?

³⁷Ary avy Izy ka nahita azy ireo matory, dia hoy Izy tamin'i Petera: Ry Simona, matory va ianao? Tsy nahazaka niari-tory na dia ora iray ihany aza va ianao?

³⁸ Watch and pray, that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

³⁸Miareta tory ianareo, ka mivavaha, mba tsy hidiranareo amin'ny fakam-panahy; mety ihany ny fanahy, fa ny nofo no tsy manan-kery.

³⁹Again he went away, and prayed, saying the same words.

³⁹Dia lasa indray Izy ka nivavaka nanao ilay teny teo ihany.

⁴⁰Again he returned, and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy, and they didn’t know what to answer him.

⁴⁰Ary nony niverina indray Izy, dia nahita azy matory, fa efa nilondolondo ny masony, ka tsy hitany izay havaliny Azy.

⁴¹He came the third time, and said to them, “Sleep on now, and take your rest. It is enough. The hour has come. Behold, the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

⁴¹Ary avy fanintelony Izy, dia nanao taminy hoe: Matoria ary ankehitriny, ka mialà sasatra ianareo. Aoka izay; efa tonga ny ora; indro, ny Zanak'olona hatolotra ao an-tànan'ny mpanota.

⁴² Arise, let us be going. Behold, he who betrays me is at hand.”

⁴²Mitsangàna, andeha isika; indro fa efa akaiky ilay mamadika Ahy.

⁴³Immediately, while he was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, came—and with him a multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders.

⁴³Ary niaraka tamin'izay, raha mbola niteny Izy, dia avy Jodasy, isan'ny roa ambin'ny folo lahy, sady nisy vahoaka niaraka taminy, nitondra sabatra sy langilangy, nirahin'ny lohan'ny mpisorona sy ny mpanora-dalàna ary ny loholona.

⁴⁴Now he who betrayed him had given them a sign, saying, “Whomever I will kiss, that is he. Seize him, and lead him away safely.”

⁴⁴Ary ilay hamadika Azy efa nanome famantarana ireo ka nanao hoe: Izay horohako no Izy; sambory Izy ka ento, fa aza avela ho afaka.

⁴⁵When he had come, immediately he came to him, and said, “Rabbi! Rabbi!” and kissed him.

⁴⁵Ary rehefa tonga izy, dia nanatona an'i Jesosy niaraka tamin'izay ka nanao hoe: Raby ô! dia nanoroka Azy izy.

⁴⁶They laid their hands on him, and seized him.

⁴⁶Ary ny olona naninjitra ny tànany taminy ka nisambotra Azy.

⁴⁷But a certain one of those who stood by drew his sword, and struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.

⁴⁷Ary ny anankiray tamin'izay teo anilany nanatsoaka ny sabany, dia nikapa ny mpanompon'ny mpisoronabe ka nahafaka ny sofiny.

⁴⁸Jesus answered them, “Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to seize me?

⁴⁸Ary Jesosy namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Mivoaka mitondra sabatra sy langilangy hisambotra Ahy toy ny hisambotra jiolahy va ianareo?

⁴⁹ I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and you didn’t arrest me. But this is so that the Scriptures might be fulfilled.”

⁴⁹Teo aminareo isan'andro Aho an-kianjan'ny tempoly, nefa tsy nisambotra Ahy ianareo; fa mba hahatanteraka ny Soratra Masina izao.

⁵⁰They all left him, and fled.

⁵⁰Ary samy nandao Azy izy rehetra ka nandositra.

⁵¹A certain young man followed him, having a linen cloth thrown around himself, over his naked body. The young men grabbed him,

⁵¹Ary nisy zatovo anankiray nanaraka Azy, ka lamba hariry madinika fotsiny ihany no nitafiany, ary nosamborin'ny olona teo izy.

⁵²but he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.

⁵²Dia navelany teny aminy ny lambany hariry madinika, ka nandositra nitanjaka izy.

⁵³They led Jesus away to the high priest. All the chief priests, the elders, and the scribes came together with him.

⁵³Ary nitondra an'i Jesosy ho any amin'ny mpisoronabe izy; ary niangona teo aminy ny lohan'ny mpisorona rehetra sy ny loholona ary ny mpanora-dalàna.

⁵⁴Peter had followed him from a distance, until he came into the court of the high priest. He was sitting with the officers, and warming himself in the light of the fire.

⁵⁴Ary Petera efa nanaraka Azy teny lavidavitra eny hatrany amin'ny kianjan'ny tranon'ny mpisoronabe; ary niara-nipetraka teo amin'ny mpiandry raharaha izy namindro teo anilan'ny afo.

⁵⁵Now the chief priests and the whole council sought witnesses against Jesus to put him to death, and found none.

⁵⁵Ary ny lohan'ny mpisorona sy ny Synedriona rehetra nitady vavolombelona hiampanga an'i Jesosy hamonoany Azy, nefa tsy nahita.

⁵⁶For many gave false testimony against him, and their testimony didn’t agree with each other.

⁵⁶Fa maro no niampanga lainga Azy, nefa tsy nifanaraka ny fiampangany.

⁵⁷Some stood up, and gave false testimony against him, saying,

⁵⁷Ary nitsangana ny sasany, dia niampanga lainga Azy nanao hoe:

⁵⁸“We heard him say, ‘I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another made without hands.’”

⁵⁸Izahay efa nandre Azy nanao hoe: Izaho handrava ity tempoly nataon-tanana ity, ary amin'ny hateloana dia hanangana hafa izay tsy nataon-tanana Aho.

⁵⁹Even so, their testimony did not agree.

⁵⁹Fa tsy nifanaraka ny filàzany na dia tamin'izany aza.

⁶⁰The high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, “Have you no answer? What is it which these testify against you?”

⁶⁰Ary ny mpisoronabe nitsangana nankeo afovoany, dia nanontany an'i Jesosy ka nanao hoe: Tsy mety mamaly akory va Hianao? Inona no iampangan'ireto Anao?

⁶¹But he stayed quiet, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, “Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?”

⁶¹Fa tsy niteny Jesosy sady tsy namaly akory. Dia nanontany Azy indray ny mpisoronabe ka nanao taminy hoe: Hianao va no Kristy, Zanaky ny Isaorana?

⁶²Jesus said, “I am. You will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of the sky.”

⁶²Ary hoy Jesosy: Izaho no Izy; ary ho hitanareo ny Zanak'olona mipetraka eo ankavanan'ny Hery sady avy eo amin'ny rahon'ny lanitra.

⁶³The high priest tore his clothes, and said, “What further need have we of witnesses?

⁶³Ary ny mpisoronabe nandriatra ny fitafiany ka nanao hoe: Ahoana no mbola ilantsika vavolombelona indray?

⁶⁴You have heard the blasphemy! What do you think?” They all condemned him to be worthy of death.

⁶⁴Efa renareo ny fitenenany ratsy; ahoana no hevitrareo? Dia nataon'izy rehetra fa miendrika ho faty Izy.[Gr. blasfemia, izahao Mat. 9.3]

⁶⁵Some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to beat him with fists, and to tell him, “Prophesy!” The officers struck him with the palms of their hands.

⁶⁵Ary ny sasany nandrora Azy, dia nanarona ny tavany sady namely tahamaina Azy ka nanao hoe: Maminania; ary ny mpiandry raharaha namely tahamaina Azy koa.[Na. tehina]

⁶⁶As Peter was in the courtyard below, one of the maids of the high priest came,

⁶⁶Ary raha nitoetra teo ambany teo an-kianja Petera, dia avy ny anankiray tamin'ny ankizivavin'ny mpisoronabe;

⁶⁷and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him, and said, “You were also with the Nazarene, Jesus!”

⁶⁷ary nony nahita an'i Petera namindro izy, dia nijery azy ka nanao hoe: Hianao koa nomba an'i Jesosy avy any Nazareta.

⁶⁸But he denied it, saying, “I neither know, nor understand what you are saying.” He went out on the porch, and the rooster crowed.

⁶⁸Fa izy nandà ka nanao hoe: Tsy fantatro sy tsy azoko ny teninao. Dia niala ho eo am-bavahady izy, ary nisy akoho naneno.

⁶⁹The maid saw him, and began again to tell those who stood by, “This is one of them.”

⁶⁹Ary ilay ankizivavy nahita azy indray, dia niteny tamin'izay teo anilany hoe: Io lehilahy io mba naman'ireny;

⁷⁰But he again denied it. After a little while again those who stood by said to Peter, “You truly are one of them, for you are a Galilean, and your speech shows it.”

⁷⁰fa izy nandà indray. Ary nony afaka kelikely, izay teo anilany koa dia nilaza tamin'i Petera hoe: Naman'ireo tokoa ianao; fa Galiliana ianao.

⁷¹But he began to curse, and to swear, “I don’t know this man of whom you speak!”

⁷¹Dia niozona sy nianiana izy ka nanao hoe: Tsy fantatro izany Lehilahy lazainareo izany.Ary niaraka tamin'izay dia nisy akoho naneno fanindroany. Ary Petera nahatsiaro ny teny izay nolazain'i Jesosy taminy hoe: Raha tsy mbola misy akoho maneno fanindroany, dia handà Ahy intelo ianao. Ary nony nieritreritra izany izy, dia nitomany.

⁷²The rooster crowed the second time. Peter remembered the word, how that Jesus said to him, “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.” When he thought about that, he wept.

⁷²Ary niaraka tamin'izay dia nisy akoho naneno fanindroany. Ary Petera nahatsiaro ny teny izay nolazain'i Jesosy taminy hoe: Raha tsy mbola misy akoho maneno fanindroany, dia handà Ahy intelo ianao. Ary nony nieritreritra izany izy, dia nitomany.
