Romans 2

1 Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, every one who judgest, for in that in which thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.

Koa amin’ izany dia tsy manan-kalahatra ianao, ralehilahy, na zovy na zovy ianao izay mitsara; fa izay itsaranao ny sasany no anamelohanao ny tenanao koa, fa ianao izay mitsara aza dia mba manao izany ihany koa.

2 But we know that the judgment of God is according to truth upon those who do such things.

Nefa fantatsika fa ny fitsaran’ Andriamanitra dia araka ny marina amin’ izay manao toy izany.

3 And thinkest thou this, O man, who judgest those that do such things, and practisest them [thyself], that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?

Ary ianao, ralehilahy, izay mitsara ny manao izany, kanefa manao izany koa ny tenanao, moa ataonao va fa ho afa-mandositra ny fitsaran’ Andriamanitra ianao?

4 or despisest thou the riches of his goodness, and forbearance, and long-suffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads thee to repentance?

Sa hamavoinao ny haren’ ny fahamoram-panahiny sy ny fandeferany ary ny fahari-pony, satria tsy fantatrao fa ny fahamoram-panahin’ Andriamanitra dia mitaona anao hibebaka?

5 but, according to thy hardness and impenitent heart, treasurest up to thyself wrath, in [the] day of wrath and revelation of [the] righteous judgment of God,

Fa ny ditranao sy ny fonao tsy mibebaka no irakatenao fahatezerana ho anao amin’ ny andro fahatezerana sy fampisehoana ny fitsarana marin’ Andriamanitra,

6 who shall render to each according to his works:

Izay hamaly ny olona rehetra araka ny asany avy:

7 to them who, in patient continuance of good works, seek for glory and honour and incorruptibility, life eternal. (aiōnios g166)

ho an’ izay maharitra manao soa mandrakariva ka mitady voninahitra sy laza ary tsi-fahafatesana, dia fiainana mandrakizay; (aiōnios g166)

8 But to those that are contentious, and are disobedient to the truth, but obey unrighteousness, [there shall be] wrath and indignation,

fa ho an’ izay mitady ny ho an’ ny tenany ihany kosa sady tsy manaraka ny marina, fa manaraka ny tsy marina, dia fahavinirana sy fahatezerana,

9 tribulation and distress, on every soul of man that works evil, both of Jew first, and of Greek;

eny, fahoriana sy fahantrana ho an’ ny fanahin’ ny olona rehetra izay manao ratsy, amin’ ny Jiosy aloha, dia vao amin’ ny jentilisa koa;

10 but glory and honour and peace to every one that works good, both to Jew first and to Greek:

fa voninahitra sy laza ary fiadanana kosa ho an’ ny olona rehetra izay manao ny tsara, amin’ ny Jiosy aloha, dia vao amin’ ny jentilisa koa.

11 for there is no acceptance of persons with God.

Fa tsy misy fizahan-tavan’ olona amin’ Andriamanitra.

12 For as many as have sinned without law shall perish also without law; and as many as have sinned under law shall be judged by law,

Fa izay nanota tsy nanana ny lalàna dia ho very tsy manana ny lalàna; fa izay nanota nanana ny lalàna kosa dia hotsaraina araka ny lalàna.

13 (for not the hearers of the law [are] just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.

Fa tsy ny mpandre ny lalàna no marina eo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra, fa ny mpankatò ny lalàna no hohamarinina;

14 For when [those of the] nations, which have no law, practise by nature the things of the law, these, having no law, are a law to themselves;

fa na oviana na oviana ireo jentilisa tsy manana ny lalàna ireo no misy manao izay nandidian’ ny lalàna araka ny nahim-pony, na dia tsy manana ny lalàna aza ireo, dia lalàn-tenany ihany;

15 who shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts accusing or else excusing themselves between themselves; )

fa ireo maneho ny asan’ ny lalàna ho voasoratra ao am-pony, sady ny fieritreretany no vavolombelony, ary ny fisainany mifampiampanga, nefa mba mifanafaka ihany koa aza, ―

16 in [the] day when God shall judge the secrets of men, according to my glad tidings, by Jesus Christ.

amin’ ny andro izay hitsaran’ Andriamanitra ny zavatra takona ataon’ ny olona, araka ny filazantsarako amin’ ny alalan’ i Jesosy Kristy.

17 But if thou art named a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast in God,

Fa raha saingy atao hoe Jiosy ianao ka mitoky amin’ ny lalàna sy manao an’ Andriamanitra ho reharehanao

18 and knowest the will, and discerningly approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law;

ary mahalala ny sitrapony sady mamantatra ny zavatra tsara indrindra, satria efa nampianarina ny lalàna ianao

19 and hast confidence that thou thyself art a leader of the blind, a light of those who [are] in darkness,

ary matoky ny tenanao ho mpitarika ny jamba, fanazavana ny ao amin’ ny maizina,

20 an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, having the form of knowledge and of truth in the law:

mpananatra ny adala, mpampianatra ny bodo, satria ianao manana ny lalàna ho mariky ny fahalalana sy ny fahamarinana:

21 thou then that teachest another, dost thou not teach thyself? thou that preachest not to steal, dost thou steal?

ka moa ianao izay mampianatra ny sasany, tsy mba mampianatra ny tenanao koa va? Hianao izay mitory hoe: Aza mangalatra, mba mangalatra ihany va ianao?

22 thou that sayest [man should] not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?

Hianao izay manao hoe: Aza mijangajanga, mba mijangajanga ihany va ianao? Hianao izay mametaveta ny sampy, mba mandroba tempoly ihany va ianao?

23 thou who boastest in law, dost thou by transgression of the law dishonour God?

Hianao izay manao ny lalàna ho reharehanao, mba manala voninahitra an’ Andriamanitra ihany va ianao amin’ ny andikanao ny lalàna?

24 For the name of God is blasphemed on your account among the nations, according as it is written.

Fa araka ny voasoratra, dia ianareo no itenenana ratsy ny anaran’ Andriamanitra any amin’ ny jentilisa.

25 For circumcision indeed profits if thou keep [the] law; but if thou be a law-transgressor, thy circumcision is become uncircumcision.

Fa ny famorana mahasoa tokoa, raha mankatò ny lalàna ianao; fa raha mpandika ny lalàna kosa ianao, dia efa tonga toy ny tsy voafora, na dia efa voafora aza.

26 If therefore the uncircumcision keep the requirements of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be reckoned for circumcision,

Ary raha mankatò ny fitsipiky ny lalàna ny tsy voafora, tsy hatao ho isan’ ny voafora va izy, na dia tsy voafora aza?

27 and uncircumcision by nature, fulfilling the law, judge thee, who, with letter and circumcision, [art] a law-transgressor?

Ary tsy hohelohin’ ny tsy mifora izay mankatò ny lalàna va ianao, izay mpandika ny lalàna, na dia manana ny soratra sy ny famorana aza ianao?

28 For he is not a Jew who [is] one outwardly, neither that circumcision which is outward in flesh;

Fa tsy izay araka ny miseho no Jiosy, ary tsy izay miseho eo amin’ ny nofo no famorana;

29 but he [is] a Jew [who is so] inwardly; and circumcision, of the heart, in spirit, not in letter; whose praise [is] not of men, but of God.

fa izay araka ny miafina no Jiosy, ary ny famorana dia amin’ ny fo, amin’ ny fanahy, fa tsy amin’ ny soratra; ny fiderana ireny tsy avy amin’ ny olona, fa avy amin’ Andriamanitra.
