< Romans 1 >
1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called [to be] an apostle, separated to the gospel of God,
I Paoly, fetrek’oro’ Iesoà Norizañey, kinanjy ho Firàheñe, navaheñe ho ami’ty talili-soan’Añahare
2 (Which he had promised before by his prophets in the holy scriptures)
nampitamà’e taolo amo mpitoki’ i Sokitse Masiñeio
3 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh.
ty amy Ana’e nasama’ ty tarira’ i Davide ami’ty nofotse,
4 And declared [to be] the Son of God, with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:
niventeñe amy Arofo Masiñey te Anan’ Añahare an-kaozarañe ami’ty fivañona’e an-kavilasy, i Talèntika Iesoà Norizañey.
5 By whom we have received grace and apostleship for obedience to the faith among all nations for his name:
Ie ty nandrambesantika hasoa naho ty maha Firahe’e hinday o kilakila ondatio hivohotse am-patokisañe.
6 Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:
Hirik’ am’iareo ka ro nikanjia’ Iesoà Norizañey anahareo.
7 To all that are in Rome, beloved of God, called [to be] saints: Grace to you, and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Ry hene kokoan’ Añahare e Roma nikanjieñe ho noro’eo: Hasoa ama’ areo naho ty fañanintsin’ Añahare Raentika naho i Talè Iesoà Norizañey.
8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.
Valoha’e, andriañeko t’i Andrianañahareko añam’ Iesoà Norizañey ty ama’ areo iaby, te saontsieñe tok’ aia tok’aia an-tane atoy ty fatokisa’ areo.
9 For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers,
I Andrianañahare toroñeko an-troko amy talili-soa’ i Ana’eiy ro valolombeloko te tsy apoko ty fitiahiañ’ anahareo
10 Making request (if by any means now at length I may have a prosperous journey by the will of God) to come to you.
amo filolohakoo, mitolon-kalaly, he mete henaneo, he añe, t’ie ho nañeneke ty liako mb’ ama’ areo mb’eo naho satrin’ Añahare.
11 For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;
Salalaeko te hahatrea anahareo, handivako ravoravon’ arofo hampaozatse—
12 That is, that I may be comforted together with you, by the mutual faith both of you and me.
soa t’ie hohòeñe mindre ama’ areo, songa ty amy fatokisa’ey, inahareo naho izaho.
13 Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that I have often purposed to come to you (but have been hitherto hindered) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.
Tsy teako tsy ho fohi’areo, ry roahalahy, te beteke nisafirieko ty hionjomb’ama’ areo mb’eo (fe mbe tsy nanjo lalañe) soa t’ie hanam-bokatse manahake amo kilakila ondaty ila’eo.
14 I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the barbarians, both to the wise, and to the unwise.
Anaña’ o Grikao naho o renetaneo naho o mahilalao vaho o tsy mahilalao songo iraho.
15 So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.
Rototse ka iraho hitaroñe i talili-soay e Roma ao.
16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God to salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
Tsy mahasalatse ahy i Talili-soay, amy t’ie ty haozaran’ Añahare maharombake ze hene mahafiato, o Jiosio hey, vaho o Grikao.
17 For in this is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
Ie ty andrendrehañe ty havantañan’ Añahare, am-patokisañe ampitomboam-patokisañe; fa pinatetse te: Fatokisañe ty hiveloma’ o vantañeo.
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness, and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness.
Toe miboak’ andindìñe ey ty haviñeran’ Añahare amy ze fonga hatsivokarañe naho tsy havañona’ ondaty manindry ty hato ami’ty halo-tsereha’e,
19 Because that which may be known of God, is manifest in them; for God hath shown [it] to them.
fa malange am’ iereo ze mete ho fohiñe aman’ Añahare, fa nampalangesan’ Añahare.
20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, [even] his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: (aïdios )
Toe midodea boak’ ami’ty namboareñe ty voatse toy o sata’e tsi-isakeo, ty haozara’e tsy modo, naho t’ie Andrianamboatse, rendreke amo namboareñeo, tole ndra tsy aman-kaveroke iereo. (aïdios )
21 Because that when they knew God, they glorified [him] not as God, neither were thankful, but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
Aa ndra t’ie mahafohiñe i Andrianamboatse, tsy andrengea’e ho Andrianañahare, tsy mañandriañe, vaho miha-tsi-vente’e ty fivetsevetse’ iareo, mbore mihamaieñe o tro-gege’ iareoo.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools:
Mihaboke hihitse te mone miha-dagola,
23 And changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping animals.
soloa’e sare-ondaty mora momoke, naho voroñe naho biby aman-tombok’ efatse vaho biby milaly, ty engen’ Añahare tsi-modo.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves:
Aa le adòn’ Añahare amo draon-tro’ iareoo ho ami’ty haleorañe hifaniva vatañe.
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshiped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. (aiōn )
Atakalo’ iareo vande ty hatòn’ Añahare vaho mitalaho naho mitoroñe amo namboareñeo, fa tsy aman’ Andrianamboatse—I rengèñe nainai’ey. Amena. (aiōn )
26 For this cause God gave them up to vile affections. For even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
Izay ty ampipohan’Añahare am-pipaiañe faly iareo: hatsalo’ o roakemba’ iareoo sata tsy fanoeñe amo fiolorañe mahitio;
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one towards another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet.
naho ado’ o lahilahio ty fiolorañe vantañe aman’ ampela hiforehetse hifampipay; ie manao haloloañe aman-dahilahy ty lahilahy, vaho rambese’e am-batañe ty toly mañeva o hakeo’eo.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in [their] knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
Aa kanao tsy sazò’ iareo ty hitambozòtse ami’ty faharendrehañe an’ Andrianañahare, le adon’ Añahare ami’ty fitsakoreañe mengoke, hanao raha tsy fanoeñe;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
ie lifo-katsivokarañe, halò-tserehañe, fatitimena, helo-tro, fihàñañe, fañohoan-doza, fifanointoiñañe, famañahiañe, hasiahañe vaho fibisibisihañe;
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventers of evil things, disobedient to parents,
mpidramotse, mpalaiñe an’ Andrianañahare, mpiteratera, mpibohaboha naho mpirengevoke; mpikitro-draty vaho mpanjeha-drae.
31 Without understanding, covenant-breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
Ie tsy aman-kilala, mpivalik’am-pañina, tsy mahafikoko vaho po-fiferenaiñañe.
32 Who, knowing the judgment of God, that they who commit such things are worthy of death; not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
Ndra t’ie mahafohiñe ty havantañan’ Añahare tsy apota’e te mañeva havetrake ty manao i tsaraeñey, le tsy vaho anoe’e, fa onjone’ iereo o mpanao irezaio.
