¹Now when morning had come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:

¹Ary nony maraina ny andro, ny lohan'ny mpisorona rehetra sy ny loholona dia niara-nihevitra hiampanga an'i Jesosy mba hamonoany Azy.

²and they bound him, and led him away, and delivered him up to Pontius Pilate, the governor.

²Ary rehefa nafatony Izy, dia nentiny ka natolony an'i Pilato governora.

³Then Judas, who betrayed him, when he saw that Jesus was condemned, felt remorse, and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,

³Ary Jodasy, ilay namadika Azy, raha nahita fa nohelohina Jesosy, dia nanenina ka namerina ny sekely volafotsy telo-polo tamin'ny lohan'ny mpisorona sy ny loholona

⁴saying, “I have sinned in that I betrayed innocent blood.” But they said, “What is that to us? You see to it.”

⁴ka nanao hoe: Nanota aho, satria namadika rà marina. Fa hoy ireo: Ahoanay izany? fa asa anao.

⁵He threw down the pieces of silver in the sanctuary, and departed. He went away and hanged himself.

⁵Ary nony natsipiny teo amin'ny tempoly ny vola, dia niala izy ka lasa nandeha, dia nanao tadimody ary nananton-tena, ka dia maty.

⁶The chief priests took the pieces of silver, and said, “It’s not lawful to put them into the treasury, since it is the price of blood.”

⁶Ary ny lohan'ny mpisorona nandray ny vola ka nanao hoe: Tsy mety raha alatsaka ao amin'ny rakitry ny tempoly io, fa vidin-drà.

⁷They took counsel, and bought the potter’s field with them, to bury strangers in.

⁷Ary nony niara-nihevitra izy, dia namidiny ny sahan'ny mpanefy vilany ny vola ho fandevenam-bahiny.

⁸Therefore that field was called “The Field of Blood” to this day.

⁸Koa izany no anaovana ny anaran'izany saha izany mandraka androany hoe Sahan-drà.

⁹Then that which was spoken through Jeremiah some manuscripts omit “Jeremiah” the prophet was fulfilled, saying, “They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him upon whom a price had been set, whom some of the children of Israel priced,

⁹Ary tamin'izany dia tanteraka izay nampilazaina an'i Jeremia mpaminany hoe: Dia nalainy ny sekely volafotsy telo-polo, vidin'ilay notombanana, dia ilay notombanan'ny Zanak'Isiraely,[Na: Nohajaina]

¹⁰and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord commanded me.” Zechariah 11:12-13; Jeremiah 19:1-13; 32:6-9

¹⁰ka nomeny hamidy ny sahan'ny mpanefy vilany izany, araka izay efa nandidian'i Jehovah ahy (Jer. 18. 2; Zak. 11. 13).

¹¹Now Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, “Are you the King of the Jews?” Jesus said to him, “So you say.”

¹¹Ary Jesosy nitsangana teo anatrehan'ny governora; ary ny governora nanontany Azy ka nanao hoe: Hianao va no Mpanjakan'ny Jiosy? Dia hoy Jesosy taminy: Voalazanao.

¹²When he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.

¹²Ary raha nampangain'ny lohan'ny mpisorona mbamin'ny loholona Izy, dia tsy namaly akory.

¹³Then Pilate said to him, “Don’t you hear how many things they testify against you?”

¹³dia hoy Pilato taminy: Tsy renao va izany zavatra maro iampangany Anao izany?

¹⁴He gave him no answer, not even one word, so that the governor marveled greatly.

¹⁴Fa tsy namaly azy Izy na dia indraim-bava akory aza, ka dia gaga indrindra ny governora.

¹⁵Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release to the multitude one prisoner, whom they desired.

¹⁵Ary isaky ny tonga ny andro firavoravoana dia fanaon'ny governora ny mandefa mpifatotra anankiray ho an'ny vahoaka, araka izay tiany.

¹⁶They had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.

¹⁶Ary tamin'izany dia nisy mpifatotra malaza atao hoe Barabasy.

¹⁷When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus, who is called Christ?”

¹⁷Koa nony tafangona teo ny olona, dia hoy Pilato taminy: Iza moa no tianareo halefako ho anareo? Barabasy, sa Jesosy, Izay atao hoe Kristy?

¹⁸For he knew that because of envy they had delivered him up.

¹⁸Fa fantany fa fialonana no nanoloran'ireo Azy.

¹⁹While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, “Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.”

¹⁹Ary raha nipetraka teo amin'ny fitsarana izy, ny vadiny dia naniraka hankeo aminy ka nanao hoe: Aza manao na inona na inona amin'izany Lehilahy marina izany, fa nampahory ahy be ihany ny nanofisako Azy any naraina.

²⁰Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes to ask for Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.

²⁰Ary ny lohan'ny mpisorona mbamin'ny loholona nitaona ny vahoaka mba hangataka an'i Barabasy ary hamono an'i Jesosy.

²¹But the governor answered them, “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” They said, “Barabbas!”

²¹Fa ny governora namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Iza moa amin'izy roa lahy no tianareo halefako ho anareo? Dia hoy izy: Barabasy.

²²Pilate said to them, “What then shall I do to Jesus, who is called Christ?” They all said to him, “Let him be crucified!”

²²Hoy Pilato taminy: Ka ahoana kosa ary no hataoko amin'i Jesosy, Izay atao hoe Kristy? Dia hoy izy rehetra: Aoka hohomboana amin'ny hazo fijaliana Izy.

²³But the governor said, “Why? What evil has he done?” But they cried out exceedingly, saying, “Let him be crucified!”

²³Fa hoy ny governora: Inona ary no ratsy nataony? Fa vao mainka niantsoantso izy ka nanao hoe: Aoka hohomboana amin'ny hazo fijaliana Izy!

²⁴So when Pilate saw that nothing was being gained, but rather that a disturbance was starting, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, “I am innocent of the blood of this righteous person. You see to it.”

²⁴Ary raha hitan'i Pilato, fa tsy nahaleo ditra aza izy, fa vao mainka nandroso ihany aza ny tabataba, dia naka rano izy ka nanasa tanana teo anatrehan'ny vahoaka ary nanao hoe: Afaka amin'ny ran'ity Lehilahy marina ity aho, fa asa anareo.

²⁵All the people answered, “May his blood be on us, and on our children!”

²⁵Ary ny olona rehetra dia namaly ka nanao hoe: Aoka ny ràny ho aminay mbamin'ny zanakay.

²⁶Then he released to them Barabbas, but Jesus he flogged and delivered to be crucified.

²⁶Ary dia nandefa an'i Barabasy ho an'ny olona izy; fa Jesosy nasainy nokapohina, dia natolony mba hohomboana tamin'ny hazo fijaliana.[Gr. dia nokapohiny; ny teny Grika milaza ny nokapohina tamin'ny fikapohana hoditra lehibe nisy varahina]

²⁷Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium, and gathered the whole garrison together against him.

²⁷Ary ny miaramilan'ny governora dia nitondra an'i Jesosy ho ao anati-rova sady nanangona ny miaramila namany rehetra ho eo aminy.[Gr. pretoria]

²⁸They stripped him, and put a scarlet robe on him.

²⁸Ary rehefa nanala ny fitafiany, dia nanafy Azy lamba jaky izy.

²⁹They braided a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they kneeled down before him, and mocked him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!”

²⁹Ary nandrandrana satroka tsilo izy, ka nasatrony ny lohany, ary nampitaniny volotara ny tànany ankavanana, dia nandohalika teo anatrehany izy ka naneso Azy hoe: Arahaba, ry Mpanjakan'ny Jiosy!

³⁰They spat on him, and took the reed and struck him on the head.

³⁰Dia nororany Izy, ary nalainy ny volotara ka nokapohiny ny lohany.

³¹When they had mocked him, they took the robe off of him, and put his clothes on him, and led him away to crucify him.

³¹Ary rehefa naneso Azy izy, dia nanala ilay lamba taminy, ka nampitafiny Azy indray ny fitafiany, ary dia nentiny Izy mba hohomboana amin'ny hazo fijaliana.

³²As they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name, and they compelled him to go with them, that he might carry his cross.

³²Ary raha nandeha izy, dia nahita lehilahy Kyreniana anankiray, atao hoe Simona, ka izy notereny hitondra ny hazo fijalian'i Jesosy.

³³They came to a place called “Golgotha,” that is to say, “The place of a skull.”

³³Ary rehefa tonga teo amin'ny tany atao hoe Golgota izy, izany hoe Ikarandoha,

³⁴They gave him sour wine to drink mixed with gall. When he had tasted it, he would not drink.

³⁴dia nomeny divay miharo afero Izy hosotroiny; ary nony nanandrana izany Izy, dia tsy nety nisotro.

³⁵When they had crucified him, they divided his clothing among them, casting lots, TR adds “that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet: ‘They divided my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots;’” [see Psalm 22:18 and John 19:24]

³⁵Ary rehefa voahombony tamin'ny hazo fijaliana Izy, dia nanaovany loka no fizàrany ny fitafiany.

³⁶and they sat and watched him there.

³⁶Ary nipetraka izy, dia niambina Azy teo.

³⁷They set up over his head the accusation against him written, “THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

³⁷Ary napetany teo ambonin'ny lohany ny soratra milaza ny nanamelohana Azy, dia izao: Ity no Jesosy, Mpanjakan'ny Jiosy.

³⁸Then there were two robbers crucified with him, one on his right hand and one on the left.

³⁸Ary nisy jiolahy roa nohomboana tamin'ny hazo fijaliana teo an-daniny roa, ny anankiray teo amin'ny ankavanany, ary ny anankiray teo amin'ny ankaviany.

³⁹Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads,

³⁹Ary izay nandalo dia niteny ratsy Azy, sady nihifikifi-doha[Gr. nanao blasfemia; izahao 9. 3]

⁴⁰and saying, “You who destroy the temple, and build it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross!”

⁴⁰ka nanao hoe: Ry Ilay mandrava ny tempoly sy manangana azy amin'ny hateloana, vonjeo ny tenanao. Raha Zanak'Andriamanitra Hianao, midina hiala amin'ny hazo fijaliana.

⁴¹Likewise the chief priests also mocking, with the scribes, the Pharisees, TR omits “the Pharisees” and the elders, said,

⁴¹Ary dia naneso toy izany koa ny lohan'ny mpisorona mbamin'ny mpanora-dalàna sy ny loholona ka nanao hoe:

⁴²“He saved others, but he can’t save himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him.

⁴²Ny sasany novonjeny; fa ny tenany tsy hainy vonjena. Mpanjakan'ny Isiraely Izy, aoka hidina hiala amin'ny hazo fijaliana Izy ankehitriny, dia hino Azy izahay;

⁴³He trusts in God. Let God deliver him now, if he wants him; for he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”

⁴³natoky an'Andriamanitra Izy, aoka Izy hamonjy Azy ankehitriny, raha ankasitrahany Izy (Sal. 22. 8), satria hoy Izy: Zanak'Andriamanitra Aho.

⁴⁴The robbers also who were crucified with him cast on him the same reproach.

⁴⁴Ary nandatsa Azy toy izany koa ireo jiolahy niaraka nohomboana taminy tamin'ny hazo fijaliana.

⁴⁵Now from the sixth hour noon there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour. 3:00 P. M.

⁴⁵Ary hatramin'ny ora fahenina ka hatramin'ny ora fahasivy dia maizina ny tany rehetra.

⁴⁶About the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lima TR reads “lama” instead of “lima” sabachthani?” That is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” Psalm 22:1

⁴⁶Ary nony tokony ho tamin'ny ora fahasivy, dia niantso tamin'ny feo mahery Jesosy ka nanao hoe: Ely, Ely, lamà sabaktany? izany hoe: Andriamanitro ô, Andriamanitro ô, nahoana no dia mahafoy Ahy Hianao? (Sal. 22. 1).

⁴⁷Some of them who stood there, when they heard it, said, “This man is calling Elijah.”

⁴⁷Ary ny sasany tamin'izay nijanona teo, raha nandre izany, dia nanao hoe: Miantso an'i Elia Ilehio.

⁴⁸Immediately one of them ran, and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him a drink.

⁴⁸Ary niaraka tamin'izay ny anankiray teo aminy dia nihazakazaha ka nandray sipaonjy, ary rehefa natsobony tamin'ny vinaingitra izany ka notohiziny tamin'ny volotara, dia natohony hotsentsefin'i Jesosy.

⁴⁹The rest said, “Let him be. Let’s see whether Elijah comes to save him.”

⁴⁹Fa ny sasany kosa nanao hoe: Aoka hoe hizahantsika na ho avy hamonjy Azy Elia, na tsia.

⁵⁰Jesus cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit.

⁵⁰Ary rehefa niantso tamin'ny feo mahery indray Jesosy, dia nanolotra ny fanahiny.

⁵¹Behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom. The earth quaked and the rocks were split.

⁵¹Ary, indro, ny efitra lamba tao amin'ny tempoly dia triatra nizara roa hatrany ambony ka hatrany ambany; dia nihorohoro ny tany, ka nitresaka ny vatolampy;

⁵²The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised;

⁵²ary nisokatra ny fasana, ka maro ny fatin'ny olona masina izay efa nodi-mandry no natsangana,

⁵³and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection, they entered into the holy city and appeared to many.

⁵³ka nivoaka avy tao amin'ny fasana ireo taorian'ny nitsanganan'i Jesosy, dia nankao amin'ny Tanàna Masina ka niseho tamin'ny maro.[Na:ary taorin',etc]

⁵⁴Now the centurion, and those who were with him watching Jesus, when they saw the earthquake, and the things that were done, feared exceedingly, saying, “Truly this was the Son of God.”

⁵⁴Ary ny kapiteny sy ny fehiny, izay niambina an'i Jesosy, raha nahita ny horohorontany mbamin'izay zavatra tonga teo, dia raiki-tahotra indrindra ka nanao hoe: Marina tokoa fa Zanak'Andriamanitra io Lehilahy io.

⁵⁵Many women were there watching from afar, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, serving him.

⁵⁵Ary nisy vehivavy maro nitsinjo teny lavitra eny, izay nanaraka an'i Jesosy hatrany Galilia ka nanompo Azy.

⁵⁶Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

⁵⁶Isan'ireny Maria Magdalena sy Maria, renin'i Jakoba sy Josesy, ary ny renin'ny zanak'i Zebedio.

⁵⁷When evening had come, a rich man from Arimathaea, named Joseph, who himself was also Jesus’ disciple came.

⁵⁷Ary nony hariva ny andro, dia avy ny lehilahy manan-karena anankiray, avy any Arimatia, ny anarany atao hoe Josefa, ary izy koa dia mpianatr'i Jesosy.

⁵⁸This man went to Pilate, and asked for Jesus’ body. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given up.

⁵⁸Izany lehilahy izany dia nankao amin'i Pilato ka nangataka ny fatin'i Jesosy. Dia nasain'i Pilato homena azy izany.

⁵⁹Joseph took the body, and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

⁵⁹Ary rehefa nalain'i Josefa ny faty ka nofonosiny hariry madinika madio,

⁶⁰and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had cut out in the rock, and he rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, and departed.

⁶⁰dia naleviny tao amin'ny fasany vaovao izay efa nolavahany tamin'ny vatolampy; ary rehefa nanakodia vato lehibe ho eo amin'ny varavaran'ny fasana izy, dia lasa nandeha.

⁶¹Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the tomb.

⁶¹Ary tao Maria Magdalena sy ilay Maria anankiray ka nipetraka tandrifin'ny fasana.

⁶²Now on the next day, which was the day after the Preparation Day, the chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered together to Pilate,

⁶²Ary nony ampitson'ny andro fiomanana, dia nivory nankeo amin'i Pilato ny lohan'ny mpisorona sy ny Fariseo

⁶³saying, “Sir, we remember what that deceiver said while he was still alive: ‘After three days I will rise again.’

⁶³ka nanao hoe: Tompoko, tsaroanay fa iny mpamitaka iny, fony Izy mbola velona, dia nanao hoe: Raha afaka hateloana, dia hitsangana Aho.

⁶⁴Command therefore that the tomb be made secure until the third day, lest perhaps his disciples come at night and steal him away, and tell the people, ‘He is risen from the dead;’ and the last deception will be worse than the first.”

⁶⁴Koa asaovy hambenana mafy ny fasana mandra-pahatongan'ny andro fahatelo, fandrao avy ny mpianany ka mangalatra Azy, dia hilaza amin'ny olona hoe: Efa natsangana tamin'ny maty Izy; ka dia ho ratsy ny fitaka farany noho ny voalohany.

⁶⁵Pilate said to them, “You have a guard. Go, make it as secure as you can.”

⁶⁵Hoy Pilato taminy: Makà mpiambina ka mandehana, ary ataovy mafy araka izay hainareo ny fiambenana.Ary nony lasa izy, dia nalatsany ny mpiambina hiambina mafy ny fasana, rehefa nasiany tombo-kase ny vato.

⁶⁶So they went with the guard and made the tomb secure, sealing the stone.

⁶⁶Ary nony lasa izy, dia nalatsany ny mpiambina hiambina mafy ny fasana, rehefa nasiany tombo-kase ny vato.
