Romana 10

1 Ry rahalahy, ny irin’ ny foko sy ny angatahiko amin’ Andriamanitra ho an’ ireny dia famonjena.

Brothers, my heart's desire and my prayer to God is for them, that they may be saved.

2 Fa vavolombelon’ ireny aho fa mazoto ho an’ Andriamanitra izy, saingy tsy araka ny fahalalana.

For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.

3 Fa satria tsy nahalala ny fahamarinana avy amin’ Andriamanitra izy ka nitady hanamarina ny tenany, dia tsy nanaiky ny fahamarinana avy amin’ Andriamanitra.

For being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God.

4 Fa Kristy no faran’ ny lalàna ho fahamarinana ho an’ izay rehetra mino.

For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.

5 Fa Mosesy nanoratra milaza fa izay olona manao ny fahamarinana avy amin’ ny lalàna no ho velona amin’ izany.

For Moses writes about the righteousness of the law, "The one who does them will live by them."

6 Fa ny fahamarinana izay avy amin’ ny finoana kosa manao hoe: Aza milaza ao am-ponao hoe; Iza no hiakatra any an-danitra? (dia ny hampidina an’ i Kristy izany, )

But the righteousness which is of faith says this, "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will go up into heaven?' (that is, to bring Christ down);

7 na: Iza no hidina any amin’ ny lalina? (dia ny hampiakatra an’ i Kristy avy any amin’ ny maty izany.) (Abyssos g12)

or, 'Who will go down into the deep?' (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead.)" (Abyssos g12)

8 Fa ahoana no lazainy? Eo akaikinao ny teny, dia eo am-bavanao sy ao am-ponao, dia ny teny ny amin’ ny finoana, izay torinay;

But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth, and in your heart;" that is, the message of faith that we proclaim;

9 satria raha manaiky an’ i Jesosy ho Tompo amin’ ny vavanao ianao ary mino amin’ ny fonao fa Andriamanitra efa nanangana Azy tamin’ ny maty, dia hovonjena ianao.

because, if you acknowledge with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

10 Fa amin’ ny fo no inoana hahazoana fahamarinana, ary amin’ ny vava no anekena hahazoana famonjena.

For with the heart one believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth acknowledgment is made, resulting in salvation.

11 Fa hoy ny Soratra Masìna: Tsy ho menatra izay rehetra mino Azy.

For the Scripture says, "Whoever believes in him will not be put to shame."

12 Fa tsy misy hafa, na Jiosy na jentilisa, fa iray ihany no Tompon’ izy rehetra, sady manan-karena homeny izay rehetra miantso Ary Izy.

For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord of all is rich to all who call on him.

13 Fa izay rehetra miantso ny anaran’ ny Tompo no hovonjena.

For, "Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved."

14 Hataony ahoana ary no fiantso izay tsy ninoany? Ary hataony ahoana no fino izay Olona tsy reny? Ary hataony ahoana no fandre raha tsy misy mpitory?

How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without someone preaching?

15 Ary hataony ahoana no fitory, raha tsy nirahina? araka ny voasoratra hoe: Akory ny hatsaran’ ny tongotr’ iry mitondra teny soa mahafaly!

And how will they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news of peace, who bring good news of good things."

16 Nefa tsy izy rehetra no nanaiky ny teny soa mahafaly. Fa hoy Isaia: Jehovah ô, iza no nino ny teny nampitondraina anay?

But they did not all listen to the Good News. For Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed our report?"

17 Koa ny finoana dia avy amin’ ny tori-teny, ary ny tori-teny kosa avy amin’ ny tenin’ i Kristy.

So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.

18 Fa hoy izaho: Sao tsy nahare izy? Tsia; fa Efa nivoaka ho any amin’ ny tany rehetra ny feony, Ary izay mino Ary tsy ho menatra, Ary ny teniny hatramin’ ny faran’ izao rehetra izao.

But I ask, isn't it rather that they did not hear? On the contrary, "Their voice has gone out to all the earth, their words to the farthest parts of the world."

19 Fa hoy izaho: Sao tsy nahalala ny Isiraely? Voalohany, Mosesy manao hoe: Izaho hampialona anareo amin’ izay tsy firenena, Dia amin’ ny firenena adala no hampahasosorako anareo.

But I ask, did not Israel know? First Moses says, "I will provoke you to jealousy with that which is not a people. I will make you angry with a foolish nation."

20 Fa sahy mihitsy Isaia ka manao hoe: Hitan’ izay tsy nitady Ahy Aho, Ary niseho tamin’ izay tsy nanontany Ahy.

Isaiah is very bold, and says, "I was found by those who did not seek me. I was revealed to those who did not ask for me."

21 Fa ny amin’ ny Isiraely dia hoy izy: Mandritra ny andro no efa naninjirako ny tanako tamin’ izay firenena sady tsy manaraka no mandà.

But as to Israel he says, "All day long I have stretched out my hands to a disobedient and obstinate people."
