¹It happened when Jesus had finished these words, he departed from Galilee, and came into the borders of Judea beyond the Jordan.

¹Ary rehefa vitan'i Jesosy izany teny izany, dia niala tany Galilia Izy ka nihazo ny lalana teny an-dafin'i Jordana, dia tonga tany amin'ny sisin'i Jodia.

²Great multitudes followed him, and he healed them there.

²Ary nisy vahoaka betsaka nanaraka Azy, dia nahasitrana azy teo Izy.

³Pharisees came to him, testing him, and saying, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason?”

³Ary nisy Fariseo nanatona Azy, dia naka fanahy Azy hoe: Mahazo misaotra ny vadiny va ny lehilahy noho izay rehetra entiny iampangany azy na inona na inona?[Na: (Ary nanatona Azy ny Fariseo)]

⁴He answered, “Haven’t you read that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female, Genesis 1:27

⁴Ary Izy namaly ka nanao hoe: Tsy mbola novakinareo va ny teny, fa Izay nahary azy tamin'ny voalohany dia nahary azy ho lahy sy vavy (Gen. 1. 27), ka dia nanao hoe:

⁵ and said, ‘For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall join to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh?’ Genesis 2:24

⁵Ary noho izany ny lehilahy dia handao ny rainy sy ny reniny ka hikambana amin'ny vadiny; ary dia ho nofo iray ihany izy roroa. (Gen. 2. 24)?

⁶ So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, don’t let man tear apart.”

⁶ka dia tsy roa intsony izy, fa nofo iray ihany. Koa amin'izany, izay nampiraisin'Andriamanitra dia aoka tsy hampisarahin'olona.

⁷They asked him, “Why then did Moses command us to give her a bill of divorce, and divorce her?”

⁷Hoy ireo taminy: Nahoana ary Mosesy no nandidy hanome taratasy fisaoram-bady sy hisaotra azy? (Deo. 24. 1).

⁸He said to them, “Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it has not been so.

⁸Ary hoy Jesosy taminy: Ny hamafin'ny fonareo no namelan'i Mosesy anareo hisao-bady; fa tamin'ny voalohany dia tsy mba toy izany.

⁹ I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and he who marries her when she is divorced commits adultery.”

⁹Fa lazaiko aminareo: Na zovy na zovy no misaotra ny vadiny, afa-tsy noho ny fijangajangana ihany, ka mampakatra ny hafa, dia mijangajanga; ary izay mampakatra ny voasaotra dia mijangajanga koa.

¹⁰His disciples said to him, “If this is the case of the man with his wife, it is not expedient to marry.”

¹⁰Dia hoy ny mpianatra taminy: Raha izany no toetry ny lehilahy amin'ny vadiny, dia aleo tsy manambady.

¹¹But he said to them, “Not all men can receive this saying, but those to whom it is given.

¹¹Fa hoy Izy taminy: Tsy ny olona rehetra no mahay mandray izany teny izany, fa izay nomena ihany;

¹² For there are eunuchs who were born that way from their mother’s womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men; and there are eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs for the Kingdom of Heaven’s sake. He who is able to receive it, let him receive it.”

¹²fa misy ionoka, izay teraka ionoka hatrany an-kibon-dreniny; ary misy ionoka, izay nataon'ny olona ionoka; ary misy ionoka, izay nanao ny tenany ionoka noho ny fanjakan'ny lanitra. Aoka handray izany izay mahay mandray.

¹³Then little children were brought to him, that he should lay his hands on them and pray; and the disciples rebuked them.

¹³Ary tamin'izany dia nisy zazakely nentina teo amin'i Jesosy mba hametrahany ny tànany sy hivavahany ho azy; fa ny mpianany niteny mafy ireny.

¹⁴But Jesus said, “Allow the little children, and don’t forbid them to come to me; for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to ones like these.”

¹⁴Nefa Jesosy kosa nanao hoe: Avelao ny zaza, ary aza raràna tsy hanatona Ahy; fa an'ny toa azy ny fanjakan'ny lanitra.

¹⁵He laid his hands on them, and departed from there.

¹⁵Ary nony nametraka ny tànany taminy Izy, dia niala teo.

¹⁶Behold, one came to him and said, “Good teacher, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?”

¹⁶Ary, indro, nisy anankiray nanatona Azy ka nanao hoe: Mpampianatra ô, inona no tsara hataoko hahazoako fiainana mandrakizay?[Na: (Mpampianatra tsara ô)]

¹⁷He said to him, “Why do you call me good? So MT and TR. NU reads “Why do you ask me about what is good?” No one is good but one, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.”

¹⁷Fa hoy Jesosy taminy: Nahoana Aho no anontanianao ny amin'izay tsara? Iray no tsara; fa raha te-hiditra any amin'ny fiainana ianao, tandremo ny didy.[Na: (Nahoana Aho no ataonao tsara? Tsy misy tsara afa-tsy iray ihany dia Andriamanitra.)]

¹⁸He said to him, “Which ones?” Jesus said, “‘You shall not murder.’ ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ ‘You shall not steal.’ ‘You shall not offer false testimony.’

¹⁸Hoy ralehilahy taminy: Inona avy moa? Dia hoy Jesosy: Ny hoe: Aza mamono olona, Aza mijangajanga, Aza mangalatra, Aza mety ho vavolombelona mandainga,

¹⁹ ‘Honor your father and mother.’ Exodus 20:12-16; Deuteronomy 5:16-20 And, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’” Leviticus 19:18

¹⁹Manajà ny rainao sy ny reninao (Eks. 20:12-16), ary: Tiava ny namanao tahaka ny tenanao (Lev. 19:18).

²⁰The young man said to him, “All these things I have observed from my youth. What do I still lack?”

²⁰Hoy ilay zatovo taminy: Izany rehetra izany efa voatandriko avokoa; fa inona no tsy mbola mahatanteraka ahy?

²¹Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”

²¹Dia hoy Jesosy taminy: Raha tia ho tanteraka ianao, mandehana, amidio ny fanananao, ka omeo ny malahelo, dia hanana rakitra any an-danitra ianao; ary avia hanaraka Ahy.

²²But when the young man heard the saying, he went away sad, for he was one who had great possessions.

²²Fa nony nandre izany teny izany ilay zatovo, dia niala tamin'alahelo izy, satria nanana fananana be.

²³Jesus said to his disciples, “Most certainly I say to you, a rich man will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven with difficulty.

²³Dia hoy Jesosy tamin'ny mpianany: Lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa fa sarotra ny hidiran'ny manan-karena amin'ny fanjakan'ny lanitra.

²⁴ Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye, than for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of God.”

²⁴Ary hoy Izaho aminareo indray: Ho moramora kokoa ny hidiran'ny rameva amin'ny vodi-fanjaitra noho ny hidiran'ny manan-karena amin'ny fanjakan'Andriamanitra.

²⁵When the disciples heard it, they were exceedingly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved?”

²⁵Ary nony nandre izany ny mpianatra, dia talanjona indrindra ka nanao hoe: Iza indray no azo hovonjena?

²⁶Looking at them, Jesus said, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

²⁶Ary Jesosy nijery azy ka nanao taminy hoe: Tsy hain'ny olona izany, fa hain'Andriamanitra ny zavatra rehetra.

²⁷Then Peter answered, “Behold, we have left everything, and followed you. What then will we have?”

²⁷Dia namaly Petera ka nanao taminy hoe: Indro, izahay efa nahafoy ny zavatra rehetra ka nanaraka Anao; koa inona ary no ho azonay?

²⁸Jesus said to them, “Most certainly I tell you that you who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man will sit on the throne of his glory, you also will sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

²⁸Fa hoy Jesosy taminy: Lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa fa rehefa mby amin'ny fanavaozana, ka hipetraka amin'ny seza fiandrianan'ny voninahiny ny Zanak'olona, ianareo koa, izay nanaraka Ahy, dia hipetraka amin'ny seza fiandrianana roa ambin'ny folo ka hitsara ny firenen'isiraely roa ambin'ny folo.[Gr.fiteraham-baovao]

²⁹ Everyone who has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, will receive one hundred times, and will inherit eternal life.

²⁹Ary izay rehetra efa nahafoy trano, na rahalahy, na anabavy, na ray, na reny, na zanaka, na tany, noho ny anarako, dia handray zato heny ka handova fiainana mandrakizay.[Ampio hoe: (na vady.)]Nefa maro izay voalohany no ho farany, ary izay farany no ho voalohany.

³⁰ But many will be last who are first; and first who are last.

³⁰Nefa maro izay voalohany no ho farany, ary izay farany no ho voalohany.
