Romana 2

1 Koa amin’ izany dia tsy manan-kalahatra ianao, ralehilahy, na zovy na zovy ianao izay mitsara; fa izay itsaranao ny sasany no anamelohanao ny tenanao koa, fa ianao izay mitsara aza dia mba manao izany ihany koa.

Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoeuer thou art that condemnest: for in that that thou condemnest another, thou condemnest thy selfe: for thou that condemnest, doest the same things.

2 Nefa fantatsika fa ny fitsaran’ Andriamanitra dia araka ny marina amin’ izay manao toy izany.

But we know that the iudgement of God is according to trueth, against them which comit such things.

3 Ary ianao, ralehilahy, izay mitsara ny manao izany, kanefa manao izany koa ny tenanao, moa ataonao va fa ho afa-mandositra ny fitsaran’ Andriamanitra ianao?

And thinkest thou this, O thou man, that condemnest them which doe such thinges, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the iudgement of God?

4 Sa hamavoinao ny haren’ ny fahamoram-panahiny sy ny fandeferany ary ny fahari-pony, satria tsy fantatrao fa ny fahamoram-panahin’ Andriamanitra dia mitaona anao hibebaka?

Or despisest thou the riches of his bountifulnesse, and patience, and long sufferance, not knowing that the bountifulnesse of God leadeth thee to repentance?

5 Fa ny ditranao sy ny fonao tsy mibebaka no irakatenao fahatezerana ho anao amin’ ny andro fahatezerana sy fampisehoana ny fitsarana marin’ Andriamanitra,

But thou, after thine hardnesse, and heart that canot repent, heapest vp as a treasure vnto thy selfe wrath against the day of wrath, and of the declaration of the iust iudgement of God,

6 Izay hamaly ny olona rehetra araka ny asany avy:

Who wil reward euery man according to his woorkes:

7 ho an’ izay maharitra manao soa mandrakariva ka mitady voninahitra sy laza ary tsi-fahafatesana, dia fiainana mandrakizay; (aiōnios g166)

That is, to them which through patience in well doing, seeke glorie, and honour, and immortalitie, euerlasting life: (aiōnios g166)

8 fa ho an’ izay mitady ny ho an’ ny tenany ihany kosa sady tsy manaraka ny marina, fa manaraka ny tsy marina, dia fahavinirana sy fahatezerana,

But vnto them that are contentious and disobey the trueth, and obey vnrighteousnesse, shalbe indignation and wrath.

9 eny, fahoriana sy fahantrana ho an’ ny fanahin’ ny olona rehetra izay manao ratsy, amin’ ny Jiosy aloha, dia vao amin’ ny jentilisa koa;

Tribulation and anguish shalbe vpon the soule of euery man that doeth euill: of the Iewe first, and also of the Grecian.

10 fa voninahitra sy laza ary fiadanana kosa ho an’ ny olona rehetra izay manao ny tsara, amin’ ny Jiosy aloha, dia vao amin’ ny jentilisa koa.

But to euery man that doeth good, shalbe glory, and honour, and peace: to the Iew first, and also to the Grecian.

11 Fa tsy misy fizahan-tavan’ olona amin’ Andriamanitra.

For there is no respect of persons with God.

12 Fa izay nanota tsy nanana ny lalàna dia ho very tsy manana ny lalàna; fa izay nanota nanana ny lalàna kosa dia hotsaraina araka ny lalàna.

For as many as haue sinned without the Lawe, shall perish also without the Lawe: and as many as haue sinned in the Lawe, shall be iudged by the Lawe,

13 Fa tsy ny mpandre ny lalàna no marina eo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra, fa ny mpankatò ny lalàna no hohamarinina;

(For the hearers of the Lawe are not righteous before God: but the doers of the Lawe shalbe iustified.

14 fa na oviana na oviana ireo jentilisa tsy manana ny lalàna ireo no misy manao izay nandidian’ ny lalàna araka ny nahim-pony, na dia tsy manana ny lalàna aza ireo, dia lalàn-tenany ihany;

For when the Gentiles which haue not the Lawe, doe by nature, the things conteined in the Lawe, they hauing not the Lawe, are a Lawe vnto themselues,

15 fa ireo maneho ny asan’ ny lalàna ho voasoratra ao am-pony, sady ny fieritreretany no vavolombelony, ary ny fisainany mifampiampanga, nefa mba mifanafaka ihany koa aza, ―

Which shew the effect of the Lawe written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witnes, and their thoughts accusing one another, or excusing, )

16 amin’ ny andro izay hitsaran’ Andriamanitra ny zavatra takona ataon’ ny olona, araka ny filazantsarako amin’ ny alalan’ i Jesosy Kristy.

At the day when God shall iudge the secretes of men by Iesus Christ, according to my Gospel.

17 Fa raha saingy atao hoe Jiosy ianao ka mitoky amin’ ny lalàna sy manao an’ Andriamanitra ho reharehanao

Beholde, thou art called a Iewe, and restest in the Lawe, and gloriest in God,

18 ary mahalala ny sitrapony sady mamantatra ny zavatra tsara indrindra, satria efa nampianarina ny lalàna ianao

And knowest his will, and triest the things that dissent from it, in that thou art instructed by the Lawe:

19 ary matoky ny tenanao ho mpitarika ny jamba, fanazavana ny ao amin’ ny maizina,

And persuadest thy selfe that thou art a guide of the blinde, a light of them which are in darkenesse,

20 mpananatra ny adala, mpampianatra ny bodo, satria ianao manana ny lalàna ho mariky ny fahalalana sy ny fahamarinana:

An instructer of them which lacke discretion, a teacher of the vnlearned, which hast the forme of knowledge, and of the truth in ye Law.

21 ka moa ianao izay mampianatra ny sasany, tsy mba mampianatra ny tenanao koa va? Hianao izay mitory hoe: Aza mangalatra, mba mangalatra ihany va ianao?

Thou therefore, which teachest another, teachest thou not thy selfe? thou that preachest, A man should not steale, doest thou steale?

22 Hianao izay manao hoe: Aza mijangajanga, mba mijangajanga ihany va ianao? Hianao izay mametaveta ny sampy, mba mandroba tempoly ihany va ianao?

Thou that saist, A man should not commit adulterie, doest thou commit adulterie? thou that abhorrest idoles, committest thou sacrilege?

23 Hianao izay manao ny lalàna ho reharehanao, mba manala voninahitra an’ Andriamanitra ihany va ianao amin’ ny andikanao ny lalàna?

Thou that gloriest in the Lawe, through breaking the Lawe, dishonourest thou God?

24 Fa araka ny voasoratra, dia ianareo no itenenana ratsy ny anaran’ Andriamanitra any amin’ ny jentilisa.

For ye Name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written.

25 Fa ny famorana mahasoa tokoa, raha mankatò ny lalàna ianao; fa raha mpandika ny lalàna kosa ianao, dia efa tonga toy ny tsy voafora, na dia efa voafora aza.

For circucision verely is profitable, if thou do the Lawe: but if thou be a transgressour of the Lawe, thy circumcision is made vncircumcision.

26 Ary raha mankatò ny fitsipiky ny lalàna ny tsy voafora, tsy hatao ho isan’ ny voafora va izy, na dia tsy voafora aza?

Therefore if the vncircumcision keepe the ordinances of the Lawe, shall not his vncircumcision be counted for circumcision?

27 Ary tsy hohelohin’ ny tsy mifora izay mankatò ny lalàna va ianao, izay mpandika ny lalàna, na dia manana ny soratra sy ny famorana aza ianao?

And shall not vncircumcision which is by nature (if it keepe the Lawe) condemne thee which by the letter and circumcision art a transgressour of the Lawe?

28 Fa tsy izay araka ny miseho no Jiosy, ary tsy izay miseho eo amin’ ny nofo no famorana;

For hee is not a Iewe, which is one outwarde: neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:

29 fa izay araka ny miafina no Jiosy, ary ny famorana dia amin’ ny fo, amin’ ny fanahy, fa tsy amin’ ny soratra; ny fiderana ireny tsy avy amin’ ny olona, fa avy amin’ Andriamanitra.

But he is a Iewe which is one within, and the circumcision is of the heart, in the spirite not in the letter, whose praise is not of men, but of God.
