Matthew 11

Ary rehefa vitan'i Jesosy ny nandidiany ny mpianany roa ambin'ny folo lahy, dia niala teo Izy hampianatra sy hitoriteny any an-tanànan'ny olona.

And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities.

Ary rehefa ren'i Jaona tao an-tranomaizina ny asa nataon'i Kristy, dia naniraka ny mpianany izy

Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples,

hanao aminy hoe: Hianao va Ilay ho avy, sa mbola hafa no andrasantsika?

And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?

Ary Jesosy namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Mandehana ianareo, ka ambarao amin'i Jaona izao renareo sy hitanareo izao:

Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see:

Mahiratra ny jamba, ary afaka ny mandringa; diovina ny boka, ary malady ny marenina; atsangana ny maty, ary ny malahelo dia itoriana ny filazantsara.

The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.

Ary sambatra izay tsy ho tafintohina noho ny amiko.

And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.

Ary nony lasa ireny, dia vao nilaza an'i Jaona tamin'ny vahoaka Jesosy ka nanao hoe: Hizaha inona no nivoahanareo nankany an-efitra? Volotara nohozongozonin'ny rivotra va?

And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?

Sa hizaha inona no nivoahanareo? Olona mitafy soa va? Indro, ny mitafy soa dia ao an-tranon'ny mpanjaka.

But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings' houses.

Sa hizaha inona no nivoahanareo? Mpaminany va? Eny, hoy Izaho aminareo, sady mihoatra lavitra noho ny mpaminany izy.

But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet.

Izy no ilay voasoratra hoe: Indro, Izaho maniraka ny irako hialoha Anao, Izay hamboatra ny lalanao eo alohanao (Mal. 3. 1).

For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.

Lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa: Amin'izay nateraky ny vehivavy tsy mbola nisy nitsangana izay lehibe noho Jaona Mpanao-batisa; nefa ny kely indrindra amin'ny fanjakan'ny lanitra dia lehibe noho izy.

Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

Ary hatramin'ny andron'i Jaona Mpanao-batisa ka mandraka ankehitriny ny fanjakan'ny lanitra dia rombahina, ary ny mpandrombaka maka azy an-keriny.

And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.

Fa ny mpaminany rehetra sy ny lalàna dia naminany hatramin'i Jaona.

For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.

Ary raha mety mandray ianareo, dia izy no ilay Elia izay ho avy.

And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come.

Izay manan-tsofina ho enti-mihaino, aoka izy hihaino.

He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Fa tahaka ny inona no hanoharako ity taranaka ity? Tahaka ny ankizy madinika mipetraka eny an-tsena izy, izay miantso ny namany ka manao hoe:

But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows,

Efa nitsoka sodina taminareo izahay, nefa tsy nandihy ianareo, efa nanao feo fisaonana izahay, nefa tsy niteha-tratra ianareo.

And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented.

Fa tonga Jaona tsy nihinana na nisotro, ka hoy ny olona: Manana demonia izy.

For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil.

Tonga ny Zanak'olona mihinana sy misotro kosa, ka hoy ny olona: Indro, olona fatra-pitia hanina sy mpisotro divay, sakaizan'ny mpamory hetra sy ny mpanota. Fa ny fahendrena dia hamarinin ny asany.

The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.

Ary tamin'izany dia vao niteny mafy ny tanàna izay nanaovany ny ankamaroan'ny asany lehibe Izy, satria tsy nibebaka ireo, ka nanao hoe:

Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not:

Lozanao, ry Korazina! Lozanao, ry Betsaida! fa raha mba tany Tyro sy Sidona no natao ny asa lehibe izay natao teo aminareo, dia ho efa nibebaka ela tamin'ny lamba fisaonana sy ny lavenona ireny.

Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.

Fa lazaiko aminareo fa ho moramora kokoa ny ho amin'i Tyro sy Sidona amin'ny andro fitsarana noho ny ho aminareo.

But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you.

Ary ianao, ry Kapernaomy, hasandratra hatrany an-danitra va ianao? Hietry hatrany amin'ny fiainan-tsi-hita ianao; fa raha mba tany Sodoma no natao ny asa lehibe izay natao teo aminao, dia ho naharitra ambaraka androany izy.

And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.

Fa lazaiko aminareo fa ho moramora kokoa ny ho amin'ny tany Sodoma amin'ny andro fitsarana noho ny ho aminao.

But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.

Tamin'izany andro izany dia namaly Jesosy ka nanao hoe: Midera Anao Aho, Raiko, Tompon'ny lanitra sy ny tany, fa nafeninao tamin'ny hendry sy ny manan-tsaina izany zavatra izany ka nasehonao tamin'ny zaza madinika.

At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.

Eny, Raiko; fa izany no sitraponao.

Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.

Ny zavatra rehetra natolotry ny Raiko Ahy; ary tsy misy mahalala tsara ny Zanaka, afa-tsy ny Ray; ary tsy misy mahalala tsara ny Ray, afa-tsy Zanaka sy izay tian'ny Zanaka hanehoana Azy.

All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.

Mankanesa atỳ amiko, ianareo rehetra izay miasa fatratra sy mavesatra entana, fa Izaho no hanome anareo fitsaharana.

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Ento ny ziogako, ka mianara amiko; fa malemy fanahy sady tsy miavona am-po Aho; dia hahita fitsaharana ho an'ny fanahinareo ianareo.

Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

Fa mora ny ziogako, ary maivana ny entako.

For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
