Matio 4
1 Ary Jesosy dia nentin’ ny Fanahy nankany an-efitra, mba halain’ ny devoly fanahy.
Then Jesus was led up into the desert by the Spirit, to be tempted by the devil.
2 Ary nifady hanina efa-polo andro sy efa-polo alina Izy, koa nony afaka izany, dia noana.
And after he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he became hungry,
3 Dia nanatona ny mpaka fanahy ka nanao taminy hoe: Raha Zanak’ Andriamanitra Hianao, dia teneno ho tonga mofo ireto vato ireto.
So the tempter came and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, bid these stones to become bread."
4 Fa Izy kosa namaly ka nanao hoe: Voasoratra hoe: Tsy mofo ihany no hiveloman’ ny olona, fa ny teny rehetra izay aloaky ny vavan’ Andriamanitra.
Jesus answered him, "It is written, Not by bread alone shall man live, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God."
5 Ary ny devoly nitondra Azy nankany amin’ ny tanàna masìna ka nampitoetra Azy teo an-tampon ny tempoly,
Then the devil took him up into the Holy City and stood him on the parapet of the temple,
6 dia nanao taminy hoe: Raha Zanak’ Andriamanitra Hianao, mianjerà any ambany any; fa voasoratra hoe: Izy handidy ny anjeliny ny aminao; Ary eny an-tànany no hitondran’ ireo Anao, fandrao ho tafintohina amin’ ny vato ny tongotrao.
and said to him. "If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down; for it is written, "He will give his angels charge over thee; Upon their hands they will bear thee up, Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone."
7 Hoy Jesosy taminy: Voasoratra hoe koa: Aza maka fanahy an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao.
"It is written again," answered Jesus, "Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God."
8 Ary ny devoly nitondra Azy Indray nankany an-tendrombohitra avo dia avo ka naneho Azy ny fanjakana rehetra amin’ izao tontolo izao mbamin’ ny voninahiny,
Then the devil took Jesus to a very high mountain, and showed all the kingdoms of the earth and the glory of them,
9 dia nanao taminy hoe: Izao rehetra izao dia homeko Anao, raha hiankohoka eto anatrehako Hianao.
and said to him, "All these will I give you, if you will fall down and worship me."
10 Fa hoy Jesosy taminy: Mandehana ianao, ry Satana: fa voasoratra hoe; Jehovah Andriamanitrao no hiankohofanao, ary Izy irery ihany no hotompoinao.
"Begone, Satan!" answered Jesus, "for it is written, "Thou must worship the Lord thy God, and Him only must thou serve."
11 Dia nandao Azy ny devoly, ary indreo, nisy anjely tonga ka nanompo Azy.
Then the devil left him, and behold! angels came and began ministering to him.
12 Ary nony ren’ i Jesosy fa efa voasambotra Jaona, dia lasa nankany Galilia Izy.
Now when Jesus heard that Johnhad been arrested, he withdrew into Galilee.
13 Ary nony niala tany Nazareta Izy, dia nankany Kapernaomy, izay ao amoron-dranomasina, ao amin’ ny zara-tanin’ ny Zebolona sy ny Naftaly, ka nonina tao Izy,
He left Nazareth, and settled in Capernaum-by-the-Lake, near the borders of Zebulun and Naphtali,
14 mba hahatanteraka izay nampilazaina an’ Isaia mpaminany hoe:
in order that these words spoken through Isaiah the prophet, might be fulfilled.
15 Ny tanin’ ny Zebolona sy ny tanin’ ny Naftaly, Ao amin’ ny tany amoron-dranomasina, any an-dafin’ i Jordana, Galilia, tanin’ ny jentilisa,
Land of Zebulun, land of Naphtali; The road by the Lake; the country beyond Jordan; Galilee of the Gentiles!
16 Ny olona izay nitoetra tao amin’ ny maizina dia nahita mazava lehibe; Ary izay nitoetra tao amin’ ny tany aloky ny fahafatesana no niposahan’ ny fahazavana.
The people who were dwelling in darkness Have seen a great light; And on those who were dwelling in the land of the shadows of death Light has dawned.
17 Ary tamin’ izany andro izany dia nanomboka nitori-teny Jesosy ka nanao hoe: Mibebaha ianareo, fa efa akaiky ny fanjakan’ ny lanitra.
From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, "Repent for the kingdom of heaven is near."
18 Ary nony nitsangantsangana teny amoron’ ny Ranomasin’ i Galilia Jesosy, dia nahita olona mirahalahy, dia Simona, izay atao hoe Petera, sy Andrea rahalahiny, nanarato teny amin’ ny ranomasina; fa mpanarato izy.
And as he was walking by the see of Galilee, he saw two brothers- Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew, his brother-casting their net into the sea, for they were fishermen.
19 Dia hoy Jesosy taminy: Andeha hanaraka Ahy, fa hataoko mpanarato olona ianareo.
"Come, follow me," said Jesus, "And I will make you fishers of men."
20 Dia nandao ny harato niaraka tamin’ izay izy ka nanaraka Azy.
And they dropped their nets at once, and followed him.
21 Ary raha mbola nandroso Izy, dia nahita olona mirahalahy hafa koa, dia Jakoba zanak’ i Zebedio, sy Jaona rahalahiny, izay niara-nipetraka tamin’ i Zebedio rainy teo an-tsambokely ka namboatra ny haratony; ary niantso azy mirahalahy Izy.
As he went farther on he saw two other brothers, Jamesthe son of Zebedee, and Johnhis brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets, and he called them.
22 Dia nandao ny sambokely sy ny rainy niaraka tamin’ izay izy ka nanaraka Azy.
They immediately left the boat and their father, and followed him.
23 Ary Jesosy nandeha eran’ i Galilia ka nampianatra tao amin’ ny synagogan’ ny olona teo sy nitory ny filazantsaran’ ny fanjakana ary nahasitrana ny aretina rehetra mbamin’ ny rofy rehetra tamin’ ny olona.
Then Jesus went about through Galilee, teaching in the synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every kind of disease and infirmity among the people.
24 Ary niely eran’ i Syria ny lazany, ka dia nentin’ ny olona tany aminy ny marary rehetra, izay azon’ ny aretina maro samy hafa sy ny fangirifiriana, dia ny demoniaka sy izay mararin’ ny androbe ary ny mararin’ ny paralysisa, ka nahasitrana ireny Izy.
And his fame spread throughout all Syria. They brought all the sick to him, those who were suffering from various diseases and troubles- demoniacs, epileptics, paralytics-and he healed them.
25 Dia nanaraka Azy ny vahoaka betsaka avy tany Galilia sy Dekapolisy sy Jerosalema sy Jodia ary ny avy tany an-dafin’ i Jordana.
Great crowds followed him from Galilee, from the ten towns, from Jerusalem, and Judea, and from beyond Jordan.
