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;

Christ, then, having suffered for us in [the] flesh, do ye also arm yourselves with the same mind; for he that has suffered in [the] flesh has done with sin,

2 mba tsy handanianareo ny andro sisa iainanareo amin’ ny nofo araka ny filan’ ny olona intsony, fa araka ny sitrapon’ Andriamanitra.

no longer to live the rest of [his] time in [the] flesh to men's lusts, but to God's will.

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 past [is] sufficient [for us] to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, walking in lasciviousness, lusts, wine-drinking, revels, drinkings, and unhallowed idolatries.

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;

Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with [them] to the same sink of corruption, speaking injuriously [of you];

5 nefa hampamoahin’ ilay efa vonona hitsara ny velona sy ny maty

who shall render account to him who is ready 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 to this [end] were the glad tidings preached to [the] dead also, that they might be judged, as regards men, after [the] flesh, but live, as regards God, after [the] Spirit.

7 Fa antomotra ny faran’ ny zavatra rehetra; koa hendre ka mahonòna tena ho amin’ ny fivavahana.

But the end of all things is drawn nigh: be sober therefore, and be watchful unto prayers;

8 Ary mihoatra noho ny zavatra rehetra, mifankatiava tsara; fa “ny fitiavana manarona fahotana maro”

but before all things having fervent love among yourselves, because love covers a multitude of sins;

9 Mifampiantranoa, ka aza mimonomonona.

hospitable one to another, without murmuring;

10 Samia mifanompo araka ny fanomezam-pahasoavana izay noraisinareo, dia tahaka ny mpitandrina tsara ny fahasoavana maro samy hafa izay an’ Andriamanitra.

each according as he has received a gift, ministering it to one another, as good stewards of [the] various 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)

If any one speak — as oracles of God; if any one minister — as of strength which God supplies; that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom is the glory and the might for the ages of ages. 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,

Beloved, take not [as] strange the fire [of persecution] which has taken place amongst you for [your] trial, as if a strange thing was happening to you;

13 fa araka ny iombonanareo fijaliana amin’ i Kristy, dia mifalia, mba hiravoravoanareo indrindra amin’ ny fisehoan’ ny voninahiny koa.

but as ye have share in the sufferings of Christ, rejoice, that in the revelation of his glory also ye 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 ye are reproached in [the] name of Christ, blessed [are ye]; for the [Spirit] of glory and the Spirit of God rests upon you: [on their part he is blasphemed, but on your part he is glorified.]

15 Fa aoka tsy hisy aminareo hijaly satria mpamono olona, na mpangalatra, na mpanao ratsy, na mpiraharaha ny an’ olona.

Let none of you suffer indeed as murderer, or thief, or evildoer, or as overseer of other people's matters;

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 as a christian, let him not be ashamed, but glorify God in this 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 the time of having the judgment begin from the house of God [is come]; but if first from us, what [shall be] the end of those who obey not the glad tidings of God?

18 Ary “raha saiky tsy voavonjy ny marina, aiza no hisehoan ny ratsy fanahy sy sy ny mpanota?”.

And if the righteous is difficultly saved, where shall 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.

Wherefore also let them who suffer according to the will of God commit their souls in well-doing to a faithful Creator.
