Galatiana 5

1 Ho amin’ ny fahafahana no nanafahan’ i Kristy antsika; ka tomoera tsara, fa aza mety hohazonin’ ny zioga fanandevozana intsony.

Christ has set us free in freedom; stand fast therefore, and be not held again in a yoke of bondage.

2 Indro, izaho Paoly milaza aminareo fa raha mety hoforana ianareo, dia tsy hahasoa anareo na dia kely akory aza Kristy.

Behold, I, Paul, say to you, that if ye are circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.

3 Ary lazaiko marina indray amin’ ny olona manaiky hoforana rehetra fa mpitrosa tsy maintsy mankatò ny lalàna rehetra izy.

And I witness again to every man [who is] circumcised, that he is debtor to do the whole law.

4 Dia tafasaraka amin’ i Kristy ianareo na iza na iza izay mitady hohamarinina amin’ ny lalàna; efa lavo niala tamin’ ny fahasoavana ianareo.

Ye are deprived of all profit from the Christ as separated [from him], as many as are justified by law; ye have fallen from grace.

5 Fa izahay amin’ ny Fanahy sy noho ny finoana dia miandry ny fanantenana ny fahamarinana.

For we, by [the] Spirit, on the principle of faith, await the hope of righteousness.

6 Fa ao amin’ i Kristy Jesosy dia tsy mahasoa na ny famorana na ny tsi-famorana, fa ny finoana izay miasa amin’ ny fitiavana.

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision has any force, nor uncircumcision; but faith working through love.

7 Hianareo nihazakazaka tsara, iza no nisakana anareo tsy hanaiky ny marina?

Ye ran well; who has stopped you that ye should not obey the truth?

8 Izany fitaomana izany dia tsy avy tamin’ ilay miantso anareo.

The persuasibleness [is] not of him that calls you.

9 Ny masirasira kely dia mahatonga ny vongana rehetra ho masirasira avokoa.

A little leaven leavens the whole lump.

10 Izaho matoky anareo ao amin’ ny Tompo fa tsy hisaina zavatra hafa akory ianareo; fa ilay mampitabataba anareo no hiharan’ ny fanamelohana, na zovy na zovy izy.

I have confidence as to you in [the] Lord, that ye will have no other mind; and he that is troubling you shall bear the guilt [of it], whosoever he may be.

11 Fa izaho, ry rahalahy, raha mbola mitory ny famorana ihany, nahoana aho no mbola enjehina? Dia afaka tokoa ny fahatafintohinana noho ny hazo fijaliana.

But I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why am I yet persecuted? Then the scandal of the cross has been done away.

12 Enga anie ka hiesotra aza izay mampitabataba anareo.

I would that they would even cut themselves off who throw you into confusion.

13 Fa efa nantsoina ho amin’ ny fahafahana ianareo, ry rahalahy; kanefa aoka tsy ho entinareo hanaraka ny nofo izany fahafahana izany, fa mifampanompoa amin’ ny fitiavana.

For ye have been called to liberty, brethren; only [do] not [turn] liberty into an opportunity to the flesh, but by love serve one another.

14 Fa tanteraka amin’ ny teny iray ihany ny lalàna rehetra, dia izao: Tiava ny namanao tahaka ny tenanao.

For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself;

15 Fa raha mifandramatra sy mifampihinana ianareo, tandremo fandrao mifandringana.

but if ye bite and devour one another, see that ye are not consumed one of another.

16 Fa hoy izaho: Mandehana araka ny Fanahy, dia tsy hahatanteraka ny filan’ ny nofo ianareo.

But I say, Walk in [the] Spirit, and ye shall no way fulfil flesh's lust.

17 Fa ny nofo manohitra ny Fanahy, ary ny Fanahy manohitra ny nofo; ary mifanohitra izy roroa, mba tsy hahazoanaroeo manao izay zavatra tianareo.

For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these things are opposed one to the other, that ye should not do those things which ye desire;

18 Fa raha tarihin’ ny Fanahy ianareo, dia tsy mba ambanin’ ny lalàna.

but if ye are led by the Spirit, ye are not under law.

19 Fa miharihary ny asan’ ny nofo, dia izao: Fijangajangana, fahalotoana, fijejojejoana,

Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are fornication, uncleanness, licentiousness,

20 fanompoan-tsampy, fanaovana ody ratsy, fandrafiana, fifandirana, adi-lahy, fiafonafonana, fifampiandaniana, fisarahana, fitokoana,

idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strifes, jealousies, angers, contentions, disputes, schools of opinion,

21 fialonana, fahamamoana, filalaovan-dratsy, ary ny toy izany, izay lazaiko aminareo rahateo, tahaka ny voalazako fahiny koa, fa izay manao izany dia tsy handova ny fanjakan’ Andriamanitra.

envyings, murders, drunkennesses, revels, and things like these; as to which I tell you beforehand, even as I also have said before, that they who do such things shall not inherit God's kingdom.

22 Fa ny vokatry ny Fanahy kosa dia fitiavana, fifaliana, fiadanana, fahari-po fahamoram-panahy, fanaovan-tsoa, fahamarinana,

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, fidelity,

23 fahalemem-panahy, fahononam-po; tsy misy lalàna manohitra izany.

meekness, self-control: against such things there is no law.

24 Fa izay an’ Kristy Jesosy dia efa nanombo ny nofony mbamin’ ny faniriany sy ny filany tamin’ ny hazo fijaliana.

But they that [are] of the Christ have crucified the flesh with the passions and the lusts.

25 Raha velon’ ny Fanahy isika, dia aoka handeha araka ny Fanahy.

If we live by the Spirit, let us walk also by the Spirit.

26 Aoka isika tsy handrani-tena foana ka hifampihaika sy hifampialona.

Let us not become vain-glorious, provoking one another, envying one another.
