1 Petera 4
1 Koa satria niaritra tamin’ ny nofo Kristy, dia alao mba ho fiadianareo izany saina izany; fa izay niaritra tamin’ ny nofo dia efa afaka tamin’ ny ny ota;
Since Christ has suffered in the flesh, you also should be armed with the same intention. For he who suffers in the flesh desists from sin,
2 mba tsy handanianareo ny andro sisa iainanareo amin’ ny nofo araka ny filan’ ny olona intsony, fa araka ny sitrapon’ Andriamanitra.
so that now he may live, for the remainder of his time in the flesh, not by the desires of men, but by the will of God.
3 Fa ampy izay ny andro lasa ho nanaovana ny fanaon’ ny jentilisa tamin’ ny nandehanana tamin’ ny fijejojejoana sy ny fanirian-dratsy sy ny fimamoana sy ny filalaovan-dratsy sy ny fisotroan-toaka ary ny fanompoan-tsampy izay fady indrindra;
For the time that has passed is sufficient to have fulfilled the will of the Gentiles, those who have walked in luxuries, lusts, intoxication, feasting, drinking, and the illicit worship of idols.
4 ary amin’ izany dia gaga izy ireo, satria tsy miara-mihazakazaka aminy ianareo amin’ izany fanaranam-po amin’ ny ratsy izany, ka dia teneniny ratsy;
About this, they wonder why you do not rush with them into the same confusion of indulgences, blaspheming.
5 nefa hampamoahin’ ilay efa vonona hitsara ny velona sy ny maty
But they must render an account to him who is prepared to judge the living and the dead.
6 Fa noho izany no nitoriana ny filazantsara tamin’ izay maty aza; mba hotsaraina araka ny olona amin’ ny nofo izy fa ho velona araka an’ Andriamanitra amin’ ny fanahy.
For because of this, the Gospel was also preached to the dead, so that they might be judged, certainly, just like men in the flesh, yet also, so that they might live according to God, in the Spirit.
7 Fa antomotra ny faran’ ny zavatra rehetra; koa hendre ka mahonòna tena ho amin’ ny fivavahana.
But the end of everything draws near. And so, be prudent, and be vigilant in your prayers.
8 Ary mihoatra noho ny zavatra rehetra, mifankatiava tsara; fa “ny fitiavana manarona fahotana maro”
But, before all things, have a constant mutual charity among yourselves. For love covers a multitude of sins.
9 Mifampiantranoa, ka aza mimonomonona.
Show hospitality to one another without complaining.
10 Samia mifanompo araka ny fanomezam-pahasoavana izay noraisinareo, dia tahaka ny mpitandrina tsara ny fahasoavana maro samy hafa izay an’ Andriamanitra.
Just as each of you has received grace, minister in the same way to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
11 Rana misy olona miteny, dia aoka izy hiteny toy ny milaza tenin’ Andriamanitra, raha misy olona manompo, dia aoka izy hanao izany araka ny hery izay omen’ Andriamanitra azy; mba hankalazana an’ Andriamanitra amin’ ny zavatra rehetra amin’ ny alalan’ i Jesosy Kristy; fa Azy ny voninahitra sy ny fanjakana mandrakizay mandrakizay. Amena, (aiōn g165)
When anyone speaks, it should be like words of God. When anyone ministers, it should be from the virtue that God provides, so that in all things God may be honored through Jesus Christ. To him is glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
12 Ry malala, aza gaga noho ny fizahan-toetra mahamay izay mahazo anareo ho fitsapan-toetra, ary aza atao ho zavatra mahagaga manjo anareo izany,
Most beloved, do not choose to sojourn in the passion which is a temptation to you, as if something new might happen to you.
13 fa araka ny iombonanareo fijaliana amin’ i Kristy, dia mifalia, mba hiravoravoanareo indrindra amin’ ny fisehoan’ ny voninahiny koa.
But instead, commune in the Passion of Christ, and be glad that, when his glory will be revealed, you too may rejoice with exultation.
14 Sambatra ianareo, raha haratsina noho ny anaran’ i Kristy, fa ny Fanahin’ ny voninahitra, dia ny Fanahin’ Andriamanitra, mipetraka ao aminareo.
If you are reproached for the name of Christ, you will be blessed, because that which is of the honor, glory, and power of God, and that which is of his Spirit, rests upon you.
15 Fa aoka tsy hisy aminareo hijaly satria mpamono olona, na mpangalatra, na mpanao ratsy, na mpiraharaha ny an’ olona.
But let none of you suffer for being a murderer, or a thief, or a slanderer, or one who covets what belongs to another.
16 Fa raha misy mijaly satria Kristiana, dia aoka tsy ho menatra izy; fa aoka hankalaza an’ Andriamanitra amin’ izany anarana izany izy.
But if one of you suffers for being a Christian, he should not be ashamed. Instead, he should glorify God in that name.
17 Fa tonga ny andro hiantombohan’ ny fitsarana hatrao amin’ ny ankohonan’ Andriamanitra; ary raha miantomboka amintsika izany, dia hanao ahoana kosa no hiafaran’ izay tsy manaiky ny filazantsaran’ Andriamanitra?
For it is time that judgment begin at the house of God. And if it is first from us, what shall be the end of those who do not believe the Gospel of God?
18 Ary “raha saiky tsy voavonjy ny marina, aiza no hisehoan ny ratsy fanahy sy sy ny mpanota?”.
And if the just man will scarcely be saved, where will the impious and the sinner appear?
19 Koa izay mitondra fahoriana araka ny sitrapon’ Andriamanitra, dia aoka ny fanaovan-tsoa no hanolorany ny fanahiny ho an’ ilay mahatoky, dia ny Mpanao azy.
Therefore, too, let those who suffer according to the will of God commend their souls by good deeds to the faithful Creator.
