¹When they drew near to Jerusalem, and came to Bethsphage, TR & NU read “Bethphage” instead of “Bethsphage” to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,

¹Ary raha nanakaiky an'i Jerosalema izy ka tonga tao Betifaga any an-tendrombohitra Oliva, dia naniraka mpianatra roa lahy Jesosy ka nanao taminy hoe:

²saying to them, “Go into the village that is opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Untie them, and bring them to me.

²Mankanesa amin'iroa vohitra tandrifinareo iroa, ary miaraka amin'izay dia hahita boriky mifatotra sy ny zanany eo aminy ianareo; vahao izy, dia ento etỳ amiko.

³ If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord needs them,’ and immediately he will send them.”

³Ary raha misy miteny anareo, dia lazao hoe: Misy raharaha analan'ny Tompo azy; ary dia havelany ho entina miaraka amin'izay izy.

⁴All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying,

⁴Izany dia tonga mba hahatanteraka izay nampilazaina ny mpaminany hoe:

⁵“Tell the daughter of Zion, behold, your King comes to you, humble, and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.” Zechariah 9:9

⁵Lazao amin'i Ziona zanakavavy; Indro, ny Mpanjakanao avy ho anao, Malemy fanahy sady mitaingina boriky, Dia zanaky ny boriky miasa (Zak. 9. 9).[Gr. mitondra zioga]

⁶The disciples went, and did just as Jesus commanded them,

⁶Ary dia nandeha ny mpianatra ka nanao araka izay nandidian'i Jesosy azy,

⁷and brought the donkey and the colt, and laid their clothes on them; and he sat on them.

⁷dia nentiny ny boriky sy ny zanany ary nataony teo amboniny ny lambany, ary Jesosy dia nitaingina azy.

⁸A very great multitude spread their clothes on the road. Others cut branches from the trees, and spread them on the road.

⁸Ary ny ankabiazan'ny vahoaka dia namelatra ny lambany teny an-dalana; ary ny sasany nanapaka rantsan-kazo, dia nahahany teny an-dalana koa izany.

⁹The multitudes who went before him, and who followed kept shouting, “Hosanna “Hosanna” means “save us” or “help us, we pray.” to the son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!” Psalm 118:26

⁹Ary ny vahoaka izay nialoha Azy sy izay nanaraka dia niantso hoe: Hosana ho an'ny Zanak'i Davida! Isaorana anie Izay avy amin'ny anaran'i Jehovah! Hosana any amin'ny avo indrindra (Sal. 118. 26).[Hosana = vonjeo re!]

¹⁰When he had come into Jerusalem, all the city was stirred up, saying, “Who is this?”

¹⁰Ary nony efa tafiditra tany Jerosalema Izy, dia nihorakoraka ny tanàna rehetra ka nanao hoe: Iza moa izao?

¹¹The multitudes said, “This is the prophet, Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.”

¹¹Ary ny vahoaka nilaza hoe: Izao no Jesosy mpaminany Izay avy any Nazareta any Galilia.

¹²Jesus entered into the temple of God, and drove out all of those who sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the money changers’ tables and the seats of those who sold the doves.

¹²Ary Jesosy niditra teo an-kianjan'ny tempolin'Andriamanitra, dia nandroaka izay rehetra nivarotra sy nividy teo an-kianjan'ny tempoly ka nanjera ny latabatry ny mpanakalo vola sy ny fipetrahan'ny mpivarotra ny voromailala;

¹³He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ Isaiah 56:7 but you have made it a den of robbers!” Jeremiah 7:11

¹³dia hoy Izy taminy: Efa voasoratra hoe: Ny tranoko hatao hoe trano fivavahana (Isa. lvi. 7); fa ianareo kosa manao azy ho zohy fieren'ny jiolahy (Jer. 7. 11).

¹⁴The blind and the lame came to him in the temple, and he healed them.

¹⁴Ary nisy jamba sy mandringa nanatona Azy teo an-kianjan'ny tempoly, dia nahasitrana azy Izy.

¹⁵But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children who were crying in the temple and saying, “Hosanna to the son of David!” they were indignant,

¹⁵Fa nony hitan'ny lohan'ny mpisorona sy ny mpanora-dalàna ny zavatra mahagaga izay nataony sy ny ankizy madinika miantso eo an-kianjan'ny tempoly ka manao hoe: Hosana ho an'ny Zanak'i Davida! - dia tezitra izy

¹⁶and said to him, “Do you hear what these are saying?” Jesus said to them, “Yes. Did you never read, ‘Out of the mouth of babes and nursing babies you have perfected praise?’” Psalm 8:2

¹⁶ka nanao taminy hoe: Renao va izay lazain'ireo? Dia hoy Jesosy taminy: Eny; tsy mbola novakinareo va ny teny manao hoe: Avy amin'ny vavan'ny ankizy madinika sy ny zaza minono no nanamboaranao fiderana (Sal. 8. 2)?

¹⁷He left them, and went out of the city to Bethany, and lodged there.

¹⁷Dia nandao azy Izy ka niala tao an-tanàna hankany Betania; ary dia nitoetra tao mandritra ny alina Izy.

¹⁸Now in the morning, as he returned to the city, he was hungry.

¹⁸Ary nony niverina maraina hankany an-tanàna Izy, dia noana.

¹⁹Seeing a fig tree by the road, he came to it, and found nothing on it but leaves. He said to it, “Let there be no fruit from you forever!” Immediately the fig tree withered away.

¹⁹Ary nahita hazo aviavy anankiray teo amoron-dalana Izy, dia nankeo aminy, kanjo tsy nahita na inona na inona teo aminy, afa-tsy ravina ihany; dia hoy Izy taminy: Aza misy voa avy aminao intsony mandrakizay. Dia maina vetivety foana ilay hazo aviavy.[aviavimbazaha]

²⁰When the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, “How did the fig tree immediately wither away?”

²⁰Ary nony hitan'ny mpianatra izany, dia gaga izy ka nanao hoe: Nanao ahoana re no dia nahamaina vetivety io aviavy io?

²¹Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, if you have faith, and don’t doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you told this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ it would be done.

²¹Ary Jesosy namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa: Raha manam-pinoana ianareo ka tsy miahanahana, dia tsy izao natao tamin'ny aviavy izao ihany no ho vitanareo, fa raha hiteny amin'ity tendrombohitra ity aza ianareo ka hanao hoe: Mifindrà ianao, ka mianjerà any an-dranomasina, dia ho tonga izany.

²² All things, whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.”

²²Ary na inona na inona no angatahinareo amin'ny fivavahana atao amin'ny finoana dia ho azonareo.

²³When he had come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him as he was teaching, and said, “By what authority do you do these things? Who gave you this authority?”

²³Ary rehefa tafiditra teo an-kianjan'ny tempoly Jesosy ka nampianatra, dia nanatona Azy ny lohan'ny mpisorona sy ny loholona ka nanao hoe: Fahefana manao ahoana no anaovanao izao? Ary iza no nanome Anao izao fahefana izao?

²⁴Jesus answered them, “I also will ask you one question, which if you tell me, I likewise will tell you by what authority I do these things.

²⁴Ary Jesosy namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Izaho kosa hanontany anareo zavatra iray loha, ary raha hovalianareo izany, Izaho kosa dia hilaza aminareo izay fahefana anaovako izany:

²⁵ The baptism of John, where was it from? From heaven or from men?” They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will ask us, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’

²⁵Ny batisan'i Jaona, avy taiza moa izany? Avy tany an-danitra va, sa avy tamin'ny olona? Ary izy ireo niara-nisaina ka nanao hoe: Raha holazaintsika hoe mantsy: Avy tany an-danitra, dia hovaliany hoe isika: Ka nahoana no tsy nino azy ianareo?[Na:nieritreritra]

²⁶But if we say, ‘From men,’ we fear the multitude, for all hold John as a prophet.”

²⁶Ary raha holazaintsika hoe kosa: Avy tamin'ny olona, dia matahotra ny vahoaka isika, satria ataon'izy rehetra ho mpaminany Jaona.

²⁷They answered Jesus, and said, “We don’t know.” He also said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.

²⁷Dia namaly an'i Jesosy izy ka nanao hoe: Tsy fantatray. Dia hoy Jesosy taminy: Izaho kosa tsy hilaza aminareo izay fahefana anaovako izany.

²⁸ But what do you think? A man had two sons, and he came to the first, and said, ‘Son, go work today in my vineyard.’

²⁸Fa ahoana kosa no hevitrareo? Nisy lehilahy nanana zanaka roa lahy; dia nankeo amin'ny lahimatoa izy ka nanao hoe: Anaka, andeha miasa any amin'ny tanim-boaloboko anio.

²⁹ He answered, ‘I will not,’ but afterward he changed his mind, and went.

²⁹Fa namaly izy ka nanao hoe: Tsy handeha aho; nefa nony afaka izany, dia nanenina izy ka nandeha ihany.

³⁰ He came to the second, and said the same thing. He answered, ‘I go, sir,’ but he didn’t go.

³⁰Dia nankeo amin'ny faralahy izy ka niteny toy izany koa. Ary izy namaly ka nanao hoe: Handeha aho, tompoko; kanjo tsy nandeha izy.

³¹ Which of the two did the will of his father?” They said to him, “The first.” Jesus said to them, “Most certainly I tell you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering into the Kingdom of God before you.

³¹Ka iza moa amin'izy mirahalahy no nanao ny sitrapon'ny rainy? Hoy izy: Ny lahimatoa. Dia hoy Jesosy taminy: Lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa fa ny mpamory hetra sy ny vehivavy janga efa mialoha anareo ho amin'ny fanjakan'Andriamanitra.

³² For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you didn’t believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him. When you saw it, you didn’t even repent afterward, that you might believe him.

³²Fa Jaona nankany aminareo tamin'ny lalan'ny fahamarinana, nefa tsy nino azy ianareo; fa ny mpamory hetra sy ny vehivavy janga no nino azy; fa ianareo kosa, na dia efa nahita izany aza, dia mbola tsy nanenina mba hinoanareo azy.

³³ “Hear another parable. There was a man who was a master of a household, who planted a vineyard, set a hedge about it, dug a winepress in it, built a tower, leased it out to farmers, and went into another country.

³³Mihainoa fanoharana hafa koa: Nisy lehilahy tompon-trano nanao tanim-boaloboka, dia namefy azy manodidina dia nihady famiazana teo anatiny, dia nanao tilikambo, ary dia nahofany tamin'olona mpiasa tany izany, ka nandeha ho any amin'ny tany hafa izy.

³⁴ When the season for the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the farmers, to receive his fruit.

³⁴Ary rehefa mby akaiky ny taom-pahavokarana, dia naniraka ny mpanompony izy hankany amin'ny mpiasa tany handray ny vokatra.

³⁵ The farmers took his servants, beat one, killed another, and stoned another.

³⁵Fa ny mpiasa tany nisambotra ny mpanompony, ka ny anankiray nokapohiny, ary ny anankiray novonoiny, ary ny anankiray notorahany vato.

³⁶ Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they treated them the same way.

³⁶Dia naniraka mpanompo hafa koa indray izy, maro noho ny teo; fa nataony toy izany koa ireny.

³⁷ But afterward he sent to them his son, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’

³⁷Ary nony farany dia naniraka ny zanany hankany aminy izy ka nanao hoe: Hanaja ny zanako izy.

³⁸ But the farmers, when they saw the son, said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, and seize his inheritance.’

³⁸Kanjo ny mpiasa tany, nony nahita ny zanaka, dia niresaka hoe: Ity no mpandova; andeha hovonointsika izy, dia ho lasantsika ny lovany.

³⁹ So they took him, and threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him.

³⁹Ary nisambotra azy izy ka namoaka azy teo ivelan'ny tanim-boaloboka, dia namono azy.

⁴⁰ When therefore the lord of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those farmers?”

⁴⁰Koa raha tonga ny tompon'ny tanim-boaloboka, hataony ahoana moa izany mpiasa tany izany?

⁴¹They told him, “He will miserably destroy those miserable men, and will lease out the vineyard to other farmers, who will give him the fruit in its season.”

⁴¹Hoy izy taminy: Hataony loza tokoa ny handringanany izany olon-doza izany, ary ny tanim-boaloboka dia hahofany amin'ny mpiasa tany sasany izay hanome azy ny vokatra amin'ny fotoany avy.

⁴²Jesus said to them, “Did you never read in the Scriptures, ‘The stone which the builders rejected, the same was made the head of the corner. This was from the Lord. It is marvelous in our eyes?’ Psalm 118:22-23

⁴²Hoy Jesosy taminy: Tsy mbola novakinareo va ny teny ao amin'ny Soratra Masina hoe: Ny vato izay nolavin'ny mpanao trano, Dia izy no efa natao fehizoro; Avy tamin'i Jehovah izao Ka mahagaga eo imasontsika? (Sal. 118. 22-23).

⁴³ “Therefore I tell you, the Kingdom of God will be taken away from you, and will be given to a nation bringing forth its fruit.

⁴³Ary noho izany dia lazaiko aminareo hoe: Hesorina aminareo ny fanjakan'Andriamanitra ka homena izay firenena mahavokatra ny voany.

⁴⁴ He who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but on whomever it will fall, it will scatter him as dust.”

⁴⁴Ary izay potraka amin'ity vato ity dia ho torotoro, fa na zovy na zovy no hianjerany, dia ho mongomongo.[Gr. haely toy ny vovoka]

⁴⁵When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he spoke about them.

⁴⁵Ary rehefa ren'ny lohan'ny mpisorona sy ny Fariseo ny fanoharana nataon'i Jesosy, dia fantany fa ny tenany no nolazainy amin'izany.Dia nitady hisambotra Azy izy, saingy natahotra ny vahoaka, satria nataon'ny vahoaka ho mpaminany Jesosy.

⁴⁶When they sought to seize him, they feared the multitudes, because they considered him to be a prophet.

⁴⁶Dia nitady hisambotra Azy izy, saingy natahotra ny vahoaka, satria nataon'ny vahoaka ho mpaminany Jesosy.
