¹Ary Jesosy niantso ny mpianany roa ambin'ny folo lahy hankeo aminy ka nanome azy fahefana hamoaka fanahy maloto sy hahasitrana ny aretina rehetra mbamin'ny rofy rehetra.

²Now the names of the twelve apostles are these. The first, Simon, who is called Peter; Andrew, his brother; James the son of Zebedee; John, his brother;

²Ary izao no anaran'ny Apostoly roa ambin'ny folo lahy: Ny voalohany, Simona, izay atao hoe Petera, dia Andrea rahalahiny; Jakoba, zanak'i Zebedio, sy Jaona rahalahiny;

⁵Jesus sent these twelve out, and commanded them, saying, “Don’t go among the Gentiles, and don’t enter into any city of the Samaritans.

⁵Ireo roa ambin'ny folo lahy ireo dia nirahin'i Jesosy ka nodidiany hoe: Aza mandeha any amin'ny lalan'ny jentilisa, ary aza miakatra amin'izay tanànan'ny Samaritana,

⁶ Rather, go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

⁶fa aleo mankany amin'ny ondry very amin'ny taranak'isiraely.

⁷ As you go, preach, saying, ‘The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!’

⁷Ary raha mandeha ianareo, dia mitoria hoe: Efa mby akaiky ny fanjakan'ny lanitra.

⁸ Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers TR adds “, raise the dead” , and cast out demons. Freely you received, so freely give.

⁸Sitrano ny marary, atsangano ny maty, diovy ny boka, avoahy ny demonia; efa nahazo maimaimpoana ianareo, koa manomeza maimaimpoana.

⁹ Don’t take any gold, nor silver, nor brass in your money belts.

⁹Aza mitady volamena, na volafotsy, na varahina, ho ao anatin'ny fehin-kibonareo,

¹⁰ Take no bag for your journey, neither two coats, nor shoes, nor staff: for the laborer is worthy of his food.

¹⁰na kitapom-batsy ho amin'izay haleha, na akanjo roa, na kapa na tehina; fa ny mpiasa dia miendrika hahazo ny haniny.

¹¹ Into whatever city or village you enter, find out who in it is worthy; and stay there until you go on.

¹¹Ary izay tanàna na vohitra hiakaranareo, dia fantaro tsara izay miendrika ao; ka mitoera ao aminy mandra-pialanareo.

¹² As you enter into the household, greet it.

¹²Ary raha vao miditra ao amin'ny trano ianareo, dia miarahabà ny ao.

¹³ If the household is worthy, let your peace come on it, but if it isn’t worthy, let your peace return to you.

¹³Koa raha miendrika ny ao an-trano, dia aoka ho ao aminy ny fiadanana tononinareo; fa raha tsy miendrika izy, dia aoka hiverina aminareo ny fiadanana voatononareo.

¹⁴ Whoever doesn’t receive you, nor hear your words, as you go out of that house or that city, shake off the dust from your feet.

¹⁴Ary izay tsy hampandroso anareo, na tsy hihaino ny teninareo, raha miala amin'izany trano na tanàna izany ianareo, dia ahintsano ny vovoka amin'ny tongotrareo.

¹⁵ Most certainly I tell you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city.

¹⁵Lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa fa ho moramora kokoa ny ho amin'ny tany Sodoma sy Gomora amin'ny andro fitsarana noho ny ho amin'izany tanàna izany.

¹⁶ “Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

¹⁶Indro, Izaho maniraka anareo ho tahaka ny ondry ao ampovoan'ny amboadia; koa hendre tahaka ny menarana, ary morà tahaka ny voromailala. [ lopa] [ Gr. aoka ho tsotra]

¹⁷ But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to councils, and in their synagogues they will scourge you.

¹⁷Ary mitandrema ianareo noho ny amin'ny olona; fa hatolony ho amin'ny Synedriona sy hokapohiny ao amin'ny synagogany ianareo;

¹⁸ Yes, and you will be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the nations.

¹⁸ary ho entiny eo anatrehan'ny mpanapaka sy ny mpanjaka ianareo noho ny amiko, ho vavolombelona aminy sy amin'ny jentilisa.

¹⁹ But when they deliver you up, don’t be anxious how or what you will say, for it will be given you in that hour what you will say.

¹⁹Fa raha manolotra anareo izy, dia aza manahy ny amin'izay fomba hitenenanareo, na izay holazainareo; Fa homena anareo amin izany ora izany izay holazainareo.

²⁰ For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.

²⁰Fa tsy ianareo no miteny, fa ny Fanahin'ny Rainareo no miteny ao anatinareo.

²¹ “Brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father his child. Children will rise up against parents, and cause them to be put to death.

²¹Ary ny rahalahy hanolotra ny rahalahiny mba ho faty, ary ny ray hanolotra ny zanany; ary ny zanaka hitsangana hanohitra ny rainy sy ny reniny ka hahafaty azy.

²² You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake, but he who endures to the end will be saved.

²²Ary ho halan'ny olona rehetra ianareo noho ny anarako; fa izay maharitra hatramin'ny farany no hovonjena.

²³ But when they persecute you in this city, flee into the next, for most certainly I tell you, you will not have gone through the cities of Israel, until the Son of Man has come.

²³Ary raha manenjika anareo amin'ny tanàna anankiray ny olona dia mandosira ho any amin'ny hafa; fa lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa: Tsy hahatapitra ny tanànan'ny Isiraely ianareo tsy akory mandra-pahatongan'ny Zanak'olona.

²⁴ “A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his lord.

²⁴Ny mpianatra tsy mihoatra noho ny mpampianatra, na ny mpanompo noho ny tompony.

²⁵ It is enough for the disciple that he be like his teacher, and the servant like his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more those of his household!

²⁵Fa ampy amin'ny mpianatra, raha tonga tahaka ny mpampianatra azy, ary ny mpanompo, raha tonga tahaka ny tompony. Raha ny tompon-trano no nataony hoe Belzeboba, tsy mainka va ny ankohonany?

²⁶ Therefore don’t be afraid of them, for there is nothing covered that will not be revealed; and hidden that will not be known.

²⁶Koa amin'izany aza matahotra azy ianareo; fa tsy misy afenina izay tsy haseho, na takona izay tsy ho fantatra.

²⁷ What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in the ear, proclaim on the housetops.

²⁷Izay lazaiko aminareo ao amin'ny maizina, dia ambarao eo amin'ny mazava, ary izay ren'ny sofinareo, dia torio eo ambonin'ny tampon-trano.

²⁸ Don’t be afraid of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. Rather, fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna. or, Hell.

²⁸Ary aza matahotra izay mamono ny tena, nefa tsy mahay mamono ny fanahy; fa aleo matahotra Izay mahay mahavery ny fanahy sy ny tena ao amin'ny helo.[Gr. gehena]

²⁹ “Aren’t two sparrows sold for an assarion coin An assarion is a small coin worth one tenth of a drachma or a sixteenth of a denarius. An assarion is approximately the wages of one half hour of agricultural labor. ? Not one of them falls on the ground apart from your Father’s will,

²⁹Tsy varidimiventy ihany va no vidin'ny tsintsina roa? nefa tsy misy na dia iray akory aza amin'ireny ho latsaka amin'ny tany, raha tsy avelan'ny Rainareo.[Gr. asaria, izay ampahafolon'ny denaria]

³⁰ but the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

³⁰Fa na dia ny volon-dohanareo aza dia voaisa avokoa.

³¹ Therefore don’t be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows.

³¹Koa aza matahotra; fa mihoatra noho ny tsintsina maro ianareo.

³² Everyone therefore who confesses me before men, him I will also confess before my Father who is in heaven.

³²Ary amin'izany na zovy na zovy no hanaiky Ahy eo anatrehan'ny olona, dia hekeko kosa izy eo anatrehan'ny Raiko Izay any an-danitra.

³³ But whoever denies me before men, him I will also deny before my Father who is in heaven.

³³Fa na zovy na zovy no handà Ahy eo anatrehan'ny olona, dia holaviko kosa izy eo anatrehan'ny Raiko Izay any an-danitra.

³⁴ “Don’t think that I came to send peace on the earth. I didn’t come to send peace, but a sword.

³⁴Ary aza ataonareo fa tonga hitondra fiadanana ambonin'ny tany Aho; tsy tonga hitondra fiadanana Aho, fa sabatra.

³⁵ For I came to set a man at odds against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.

³⁵Fa tonga Aho hampifandrafy olona amin'ny rainy, ary ny zanakavavy amin'ny reniny, ary ny vinantovavy amin'ny rafozanivavy;

³⁶ A man’s foes will be those of his own household. Micah 7:6

³⁶ary ny ankohonan'ny olona ihany no fahavalony (Mik. 7. 6).

³⁷ He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me isn’t worthy of me.

³⁷Izay tia ray na reny mihoatra noho ny fitiavany Ahy dia tsy miendrika ho Ahy, ary izay tia ny zananilahy na ny zananivavy mihoatra noho ny fitiavany Ahy dia tsy miendrika ho Ahy.

³⁸ He who doesn’t take his cross and follow after me, isn’t worthy of me.

³⁸Ary izay tsy mitondra ny hazo fijaliany ka tsy manaraka Ahy dia tsy miendrika ho Ahy.[Gr. mandray]

³⁹ He who seeks his life will lose it; and he who loses his life for my sake will find it.

³⁹Izay mamonjy ny ainy no hamery azy; ary izay mamery ny ainy noho ny amiko dia hahazo azy.

⁴⁰Izay mandray anareo dia mandray Ahy; ary izay mandray Ahy dia mandray Izay naniraka Ahy.

⁴¹ He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward. He who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man will receive a righteous man’s reward.

⁴¹Izay mandray mpaminany, satria mpaminany izy, dia handray ny valim-pitian'ny mpaminany; ary izay mandray olona marina, satria olona marina izy, dia handray ny valim-pitian'ny olona marina.Ary na zovy na zovy no manome rano mangatsiaka na dia eran'ny kapoaka ihany aza hosotroin'ny anankiray amin'ireo madinika ireo, satria mpianatra izy, dia lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa fa tsy ho very ny valim-pitiany.

⁴² Whoever gives one of these little ones just a cup of cold water to drink in the name of a disciple, most certainly I tell you he will in no way lose his reward.”

⁴²Ary na zovy na zovy no manome rano mangatsiaka na dia eran'ny kapoaka ihany aza hosotroin'ny anankiray amin'ireo madinika ireo, satria mpianatra izy, dia lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa fa tsy ho very ny valim-pitiany.
