Galatiana 1
1 Paoly Apostoly ― tsy avy tamin’ olona, na tamin’ ny alalan’ olona, fa tamin’ ny alalan’ i Jesosy Kristy sy Andriamanitra Ray, Izay nanangana Azy tamin’ ny maty ―
Paul, an apostle (not from humans, nor through humans, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead),
2 mbamin’ ny rahalahy rehetra izay ato amiko, mamangy ny fiangonana atỳ Galatia:
and all the brothers who are with me, to the churches of Galatia:
3 ho aminareo anie ny fahasoavana sy ny fiadanana avy amin’ Andriamanitra Ray sy Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika,
Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ,
4 Izay nanolotra ny tenany noho ny fahotantsika, hanafahany antsika amin’ izao miara-belona ratsy fanahy izao, araka ny sitrapon’ Andriamanitra Raintsika; (aiōn g165)
who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father— (aiōn g165)
to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 Gaga aho, raha mifindra faingana toy izao ianareo hiala amin’ izay efa niantso anareo tamin’ ny fahasoavan’ i Kristy ho amin’ ny filazantsara hafa,
I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you by the grace of Christ to a different "good news";
7 izay tsy filazantsara akory, fa saingy misy ny sasany mampitabataba anareo ka ta-hamadika ny filazantsaran’ i Kristy.
and there is not another "good news." Only there are some who trouble you, and want to pervert the Good News of Christ.
8 Fa na izahay, na anjely avy any an-danitra aza, no mitory filazantsara hafa aminareo afa-tsy izay efa notorinay taminareo, aoka ho voaozona izy.
But even though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a "good news" other than that which we preached to you, let him be cursed.
9 Araka ny voalazanay fahiny no lazaiko indray ankehitriny: Raha misy olona mitory filazantsara hafa aminareo, afa-tsy izay efa noraisinareo, aoka ho voaozona izy,
As we have said before, so I now say again: if anyone preaches to you a "good news" other than that which you received, let him be cursed.
10 Ary ankehitriny, olona va no ilako fitia, sa Andriamanitra? Sa mila sitraka amin’ olona aho? Raha mbola mila sitraka amin’ olona aho, dia tsy mpanompon’ i Kristy.
For am I now seeking the favor of people, or of God? Or am I striving to please people? For if I were still pleasing people, I would not be a servant of Christ.
11 Fa ampahafantariko anareo, ry rahalahy, ny amin’ ny filazantsara izay notoriko, fa tsy araka ny fanaon’ ny olona izany.
But I make known to you, brothers, concerning the Good News which was preached by me, that it is not of human origin.
12 Fa izaho tsy nandray azy tamin’ olona, ary tsy mba nampianarina aho, fa tamin’ ny fanambaran’ i Jesosy Kristy ihany.
For neither did I receive it from a human, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ.
13 Fa efa renareo ny toetro fahiny tamin’ ny fivavahan’ ny Jiosy, fa nanenjika ny fiangonan’ Andriamanitra efa izay tsy izy aho ka nandrava azy;
For you have heard of my former way of life in Judaism, how I severely persecuted the church of God, and tried to destroy it.
14 ary nandroso tamin’ ny fivavahan’ ny Jiosy mihoatra noho ny maro izay indray mihira amiko eo amin’ ny fireneko aho ka fatra-pitana ny fampianarana voatolotry ny razako indrindra.
I advanced in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my countrymen, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
15 Fa raha sitrak’ Andriamanitra, Izay nanokana ahy hatrany an-kibon’ ineny ny niantso ahy tamin’ ny fahasoavany,
But when God, who had set me apart from my mother's womb and called me through his grace, was pleased
16 ny nampiseho ny Zanany tato anatiko, mba hitoriako Azy any amin’ ny jentilisa, niaraka tamin’ izay dia tsy naka saina tamin’ ny nofo aman-drà aho,
to reveal his Son to me, that I might preach him among those who are not Jewish, I did not immediately confer with flesh and blood,
17 ary tsy niakatra tany Jerosalema ho any amin’ izay Apostoly talohako aho, fa lasa nankany Arabia, dia niverina ho any Damaskosy indray.
nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia. Then I returned to Damascus.
18 Ary rehefa afaka telo taona, dia niakatra tany Jerosalema hamangy an’ i Kefasy aho ka nitoetra tao aminy dimy ambin’ ny folo andro.
Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Cephas and get information from him, and stayed with him fifteen days.
19 Nefa ny Apostoly sasany dia tsy nisy hitako afa-tsy Jakoba, rahalahin’ ny Tompo.
But of the other apostles I saw no one, except James, the Lord's brother.
20 Ary izay zavatra soratako aminareo, indro, eo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra fa tsy mandainga aho.
Now about the things which I write to you, look, before God, I'm not lying.
21 Rehefa afaka izany, dia tonga tany amin’ ny tany Syria sy Kilikia aho;
Then I came to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
22 ary tsy mbola fantatry ny fiangonana any Jodia, izay ao amin’ i Kristy, ny tarehiko.
I was still unknown by face to the churches of Judea which were in Christ,
23 Fa nandre ihany izy hoe: Ilay mpanenjika antsika fahiny, indro izy ankehitriny mitory ny finoana izay noravany fahiny.
but they only heard: "He who once persecuted us now preaches the faith that he once tried to destroy."
24 Ary dia nankalazany an’ Andriamanitra aho.
And they glorified God because of me.
