< Mark 16 >

1 [On Saturday evening] when (the Sabbath/the Jewish day of rest) had ended, Mary [from] Magdala, Mary the mother of the [younger] James, and Salome bought fragrant ointment. [The Jews had a custom of] anointing bodies [before they buried them, and the women wanted to follow this custom].
Ary rehefa afaka ny andro Sabata, dia lasa nividy zava-manitra Maria Magdalena sy Salome ary Maria, renin’ i Jakoba, mba handeha hanosotra ny fatin’ i Jesosy.
2 So very early on Sunday, [just after] the sun rose, they [took the fragrant ointment] and started toward the tomb.
Ary nony maraina koa tamin’ ny voalohan’ andro amin’ ny herinandro, rehefa niposaka ny masoandro, dia nankany amin’ ny fasana izy ireo.
3 [While they were going there], they were saying to each other, “Who will roll away for us the stone [that blocks] the entrance of the tomb?”
Ary niresaka hoe izy: Iza re no hanakodia ny vato ho afaka amin’ ny varavaram-pasana hisolo antsika?
4 [After they arrived], they looked up and saw that the stone had [already] been rolled away {that someone had [already] rolled away the stone}. [They were surprised because it] would have been difficult to move such a huge stone.
Fa nony nitraka izy, dia, indro, hitany fa efa voakodia niala ny vato; fa lehibe dia lehibe ny vato.
5 They entered the tomb and saw [an angel who looked like] a young man. He was sitting at the right side [of the cave]. He was wearing a [shining] white robe. As a result, they were astonished.
Ary raha niditra tao anatin’ ny fasana izy, dia nahita zatovo anankiray nipetraka teo amin’ ny ankavanana niakanjo akanjo fotsy, dia talanjona izy.
6 The young man said to them, “Do not be astonished! I [know that] you are looking for Jesus, the man from Nazareth, who was nailed to a cross {whom they nailed to a cross}. But he has become alive again! He is not here! Look! [Here is] the place where they placed his [body].
Fa hoy ilay zatovo taminy: Aza talanjona; mitady an’ i Jesosy avy any Nazareta, Izay nohomboana tamin’ ny hazo fijaliana, ianareo; efa nitsangana Izy; tsy ato Izy; jereo fa teo no nametrahany Azy.
7 But, instead [of remaining here], go and tell his disciples. Particularly [be sure] that you tell Peter. Tell them, ‘[Jesus] is going ahead of you to Galilee [district], and you will see him there, just like he told you [previously’]!”
Fa mandehana, lazao amin’ ny mpianany sy Petera fa mialoha anareo ho any Galilia Izy; any no hahitanareo Azy, araka izay nolazainy taminareo.
8 The women went outside and ran from the tomb. They were trembling [because they were afraid], and they were astonished. But they did not say anything to anyone [about this] while they were going, because they were afraid.
Dia nivoaka izy ka lasa nandositra niala tamin’ ny fasana, fa tora-kovitra sady talanjona izy; ary tsy mba nilaza na inona na inona tamin’ olona izy, satria natahotra.
9 (note: The most reliable and earliest manuscripts do not include Mark 16:9-20.) [When Jesus became alive [again] early on Sunday morning, he appeared first to Mary [from] Magdala [town]. She was the woman from whom he had [previously] expelled seven evil spirits.
(note: The most reliable and earliest manuscripts do not include Mark 16:9-20.) [Ary rehefa nitsangana tamin’ ny marain’ ny andro voalohany amin’ ny herinandro Jesosy, dia niseho voalohany tamin’ i Maria Magdalena, ilay namoahany demonia fito, Izy.
10 She went to those who had been with [Jesus], while they were mourning and crying. She told them [what she had seen].
Ary Maria nandeha ka nilaza tamin’ ireo efa nomba an’ i Jesosy, izay mbola nisaona sy nitomany.
11 But when she told them that Jesus was alive again and that she had seen him, they refused to believe it.
Ary izy ireo, na dia nandre aza fa velona Izy sady efa hitan-dravehivavy, dia mbola tsy nety nino ihany.
12 Later [that day], Jesus appeared to two of [his disciples] while they were walking [from Jerusalem to their homes in] the [surrounding] area. [But they did not recognize him quickly because] he looked very different.
Ary taorian’ izany Jesosy dia niseho tamin’ ny endrika hafa tamin’ ny roa lahy aminy, izay nankany an-tsaha.
13 [After they recognized him], those two went back [to Jerusalem. They told his other followers what had happened], but they did not believe it.
Ary izy ireo nandeha ka nilaza tamin’ ny namany; fa na dia ireo aza tsy ninoany koa.
14 Later he appeared to the eleven [apostles] while they were eating. He rebuked them because they had stubbornly refused to believe [the reports of] those who saw him after he had become alive again.
Rehefa afaka izany, dia niseho tamin’ ny iraika ambin’ ny folo lahy Jesosy, raha nipetraka nihinana ireo; ary izy nanome tsiny azy noho ny tsi-finoany sy ny hamafin’ ny fony, satria tsy ninoany ireo efa nahita Azy, rehefa nitsangana Izy.
15 [Later] he said to them, “Go into the whole world and preach the good message to everyone!
Ary hoy Izy taminy: Mandehana any amin’ izao tontolo izao ianareo, ka mitoria ny filazantsara amin’ ny olombelona rehetra.
16 Everyone who believes [your message] and who is baptized will be saved {[God] will save}. But everyone who does not believe it will be condemned {[God] will condemn}.
Izay mino sy atao batisa no hovonjena; fa izay tsy mety mino no hohelohina.
17 Those who believe [my good message] will perform miracles. Specifically, by my power they will expel evil spirits. They will speak in languages that they have not learned.
Ary izao famantarana izao no hanaraka izay mino: hamoaka demonia amin’ ny anarako izy; hiteny amin’ ny fiteny izay tsy mbola hainy izy;
18 If they pick up snakes [accidentally] or if they drink any poisonous [liquid accidentally], they will not be hurt. [Whenever] they put their hands on sick [people in order that God will heal them], those sick people will become well.”
handray menarana izy; ary na dia misotro zava-mahafaty aza izy, dia tsy hampaninona azy izany; hametra-tanana amin’ ny marary izy, dia ho sitrana ireny.
19 After the Lord Jesus had said this to [the disciples, he was taken] {[God] took him} up into heaven. Then he sat down on his throne beside God [to rule with him].
Ary Jesosy Tompo, rehefa niteny taminy, dia nampiakarina ho any an-danitra ka nipetraka eo ankavanan’ Andriamanitra.
20 [As for the disciples], they went out [from Jerusalem, and then they preached everywhere. Wherever they went], the Lord enabled them to perform miracles. [By doing that], he showed people that God’s message is true.
Fa izy ireo kosa dia lasa ka nitori-teny eny tontolo eny, ary ny Tompo niara-niasa taminy ka nanamarina ny teny tamin’ ny famantarana izay nomba azy. Amena.]
