< 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 men, nor through man, 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 assemblies 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 the Father and our 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)
5 ho Azy anie ny voninahitra mandrakizay mandrakizay. Amena. (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 marvel that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in 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.
but there isn’t 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 any “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 any man preaches to you any “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 favour of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? For if I were still pleasing men, I wouldn’t 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 according to man.
12 Fa izaho tsy nandray azy tamin’ olona, ary tsy mba nampianarina aho, fa tamin’ ny fanambaran’ i Jesosy Kristy ihany.
For I didn’t receive it from man, 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 way of living in time past in the Jews’ religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the assembly of God and ravaged 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 the Jews’ religion beyond many of my own age amongst 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 it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me from my mother’s womb and called me through his grace,
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 in me, that I might preach him amongst the Gentiles, I didn’t 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 visit Peter, 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, behold, 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 assemblies 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.
So they glorified God in me.
