Galatians 3
1 O thoughtless Galatians! who hath bewitched you, —before whose very eyes, Jesus Christ, was openly set forth as a crucified one?
Ry Galatiana adala, iza no nanimba anareo; kanefa teo imasonareo indrindra no nanehoana marimarina an’ i Jesosy Kristy voahombo tamin’ ny hazo fijaliana?
2 This only, am I wishing to learn from you: —by works of law, received ye, the Spirit? or by a believed report?
Izao ihany no tiako holazainareo amiko: Moa ny asan’ ny lalàna va no nandraisanareo ny Fanahy, sa ny fitoriana ny finoana?
3 So thoughtless, are ye? Having made a beginning in Spirit, are ye, now, in flesh, to be made complete?
Adala toy izany va ianareo? Rehefa nanomboka tamin’ ny Fanahy ianareo, dia hahatanteraka amin’ ny nofo va ankehitriny?
4 Such things, suffered ye, in vain, —if at least [it is] even in vain?
Moa izany zavatra be izany dia efa niaretanareo foana, raha dia foana tokoa izany?
5 He then who was supplying unto you the Spirit, and energising mighty works among you, by works of law, or by a believed report [did he it]?
Ary Izay manome anareo ny Fanahy sy mahavita asa lehibe eo aminareo, moa avy amin’ ny asan’ ny lalàna va izany, sa avy amin’ ny fitoriana ny finoana?
6 Even as Abraham—believed in God, and it was reckoned unto him as righteousness.
Dia tahaka an’ i Abrahama nino an’ Andriamanitra, ka dia nasaina ho fahamarinany izany.
7 Be taking note, therefore—that, they who are of faith, the same, are, sons, of Abraham;
Koa fantaro fa izay amin’ ny finoana no zanak’ i Abrahama.
8 And, the scripture, foreseeing, that, by faith, God would declare the nations righteous, fore-announced the good news unto Abraham, saying, All the nations shall be blessed in thee.
Ary satria hitan’ ny Soratra Masìna rahateo fa amin’ ny finoana no anamarinan’ Andriamanitra ny jentilisa, dia nitory ny filazantsara tamin’ i Abrahama rahateo izy, nanao hoe: Aminao no hitahiana ny firenena rehetra;
9 So then, they who are of faith, are blessed with believing Abraham;
ka dia izay amin’ ny finoana notahina mbamin’ i Abrahama mpino.
10 For, as many as are of works of law, are, under a curse, —for it is written—Accursed, is everyone that continueth not in all things that are written in the book of the law to do them.
Fa izay rehetra amin’ ny asan’ ny lalàna dia eo ambanin’ ny fanozonana; fa voasoratra hoe: Voaozona izay rehetra tsy maharitra mankatò ny zavatra rehetra voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ ny lalàna.
11 Moreover, that, in law, no one, is declared righteous with God, [is] evident, —because, The righteous one, by faith, shall live;
Ary hita marimarina fa amin’ ny lalàna dia tsy misy olona hamarinina eo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra; fa ny marina amin’ ny finoana no ho velona.
12 And, the law, is not of faith, but—he that hath done them, shall live in them,
Ary ny lalàna tsy araka ny finoana; fa izay mahatandrina izany no ho velona aminy.
13 Christ, hath redeemed, us, out of the curse of the law, having become, in our behalf, a curse; —because it is written—Cursed, is every one that hangeth upon a tree; —
Kristy nanavotra anay tamin’ ny ozon’ ny lalàna, satria tonga voaozona hamonjy anay Izy; fa voasoratra hoe: Voaozona izay rehetra mihantona amin’ ny hazo,
14 In order that, unto the nations, the blessing of Abraham, might come about in Jesus Christ, —in order that, the promise of the Spirit, we might receive through means of the faith.
mba ho tonga amin’ ny jentilisa ny fitahiana an’ i Abrahama ao amin’ i Kristy Jesosy, ary mba horaisintsika amin’ ny finoana ny teny fikasana ny amin’ ny Fanahy.
15 Brethren! in human fashion, am I speaking: yet still, a man’s confirmed covenant, no one setteth aside or addeth unto:
Ry rahalahy ― miteny araka ny fanaon’ ny olona aho ― na dia ny fanekena ataon’ olona ihany aza, rehefa vita mafy, dia tsy fanao ny manatsoaka na manampy izany.
16 Now, unto Abraham, were spoken the promises—and unto his seed; —He saith not—and unto thy seeds, as of many, but, as of one—and unto thy seed, which is Christ:
Ary tamin’ i Abrahama sy ny taranany no nilazana ny teny fikasana. Tsy lazainy hoe: Ary ho an’ ny taranaka, toy ny milaza ny maro; fa toy ny milaza ny anankiray, ary ho an’ ny taranakao, dia Kristy izany.
17 And, this, I say—a covenant previously confirmed by God, the law which, after four hundred and thirty years, hath been brought into being, doth not annul, so as to do away with the promise.
Ary izao no lazaiko: Ny fanekena izay nataon’ Andriamanitra mafy fahiny dia tsy tsoahan’ ny lalàna, izay vao natao telo-polo amby efa-jato taona tato aoriana, hahafoana ny teny fikasana.
18 For, if, by law, is the inheritance, it is, no longer, by promise; but, unto Abraham, through promise, hath God favoured it.
Fa raha avy amin’ ny lalàna ny lova, dia tsy avy amin’ ny teny fikasana intsony; nefa tamin’ i Abrahama dia teny fikasana no nanomezan’ Andriamanitra azy.
19 Why, then, the law? Because of the transgressions, it was added, until such time as the seed should come, unto whom the promise had been made, and was given in charge through messengers, at the hand of a mediator;
Inona ary ny lalàna? Nanampy noho ny fahadisoana izy ambara-pihavin’ ny taranaka izay nomena ny teny fikasana; ary nalahatr’ anjely teo an-tànan’ ny mpanalalana izany.
20 Now, a mediator, is not [a mediator] of one, but, God, is, one.
Ary ny mpanalalana dia tsy an’ ny irery, fa Andriamanitra dia iray ihany.
21 Is, the law, then, against the promises [of God]? Far be it! For, if a law had been given, which had been able to give life, verily, in law, would have been our righteousness;
Ka moa manohitra ny teny fikasan’ Andriamanitra va ny lalàna? Sanatria izany! Fa raha nisy lalàna mahavelona nomena, dia avy tamin’ ny lalàna tokoa ny fahamarinana
22 But the Scripture, did shut up, all things, under sin, that, the promise by faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to them who have faith,
Fa ny Soratra Masìna efa nanidy azy rehetra teo amin’ ny fahotana, mba homena ny mino ny teny fikasana noho ny finoana an i Jesosy Kristy.
23 Before the coming of the faith, however, under law, were we being kept in ward, being shut up unto the faith which should afterwards, be revealed.
Fa fony tsy mbola tonga ny finoana, dia voambina tao ambanin’ ny lalàna isika ka voahidy ho amin’ ny finoana izay efa haseho ato aoriana.
24 So that, the law, hath proved, our tutor, training us, for Christ, in order that, by faith, we might be declared righteous;
Koa ny lalàna dia mpitaiza antsika ho amin’ i Kristy, mba hohamarinina noho ny finoana isika.
25 But, the faith having come, no longer, are we, under a tutor; —
Fa rehefa tonga ny finoana, dia tsy fehezin’ izay mpitaiza intsony isika.
26 For ye, all, are, sons of God, through the faith in Christ Jesus;
Fa ianareo rehetra dia zanak’ Andriamanitra amin’ ny finoana an’ i Kristy Jesosy.
27 For ye, as many as, into Christ, have been immersed, have put Christ, on:
Fa na iza na iza ianareo no natao batisa ho an’ i Kristy dia nitafy an’ i Kristy.
28 There cannot be Jew or Greek, there cannot be bond or free, there cannot be male and female, for, all ye, are one, in Christ Jesus:
Tsy misy intsony na Jiosy na Grika, na andevo na tsy andevo, na lahy sy vavy; fa iray ihany ianareo rehetra ao amin’ i Kristy Jesosy.
29 Now, if, ye, are of Christ, by consequence ye are, Abraham’s seed, according to promise, heirs.
Fa raha an’ i Kristy ianareo, dia taranak’ i Abrahama sy mpandova araka ny teny fikasana.
