Romana 6
1 Inona ary no holazaintsika? Mbola hitoetra amin’ ny ota ihany va isika hitomboan’ ny fahasoavana?
What shall we say then? Let us continue in sin, that grace may abound still more?
2 Sanatria izany! Hataontsika izay efa maty ny amin’ ny ota ahoana no ho velona aminy ihany?
God forbid! How shall we, who died to sin, live any longer in it?
3 Tsy fantatrareo va fa na iza na iza isika no efa natao batisa ho amin’ i Kristy Jesosy dia natao batisa ho amin’ ny fahafatesany?
Are ye ignorant, that all of us who were baptized into Jesus Christ, were baptized into his death?
4 Koa niara-nalevina taminy tamin’ ny batisa ho amin’ ny fahafatesana isika, mba ho tahaka ny nananganana an’ i Kristy tamin’ ny maty tamin’ ny voninahitry ny Ray no handehanantsika kosa amin’ ny fiainam-baovao.
We then by this baptism into his death were buried with him; that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious power of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.
5 Fa raha nampiraisina taminy tamin’ ny endriky ny fahafatesany isika, dia ho tahaka izany koa amin’ ny fitsanganany;
For if we have been made completely like him in his death, we shall be made like him in his resurrection also;
6 fa fantatsika fa ny toetsika taloha dia niaraka nohomboana taminy hanimbana ny tenan’ ny ota, mba tsy hanompoantsika ny ota intsony.
knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that we might no longer be in slavery to sin;
7 Fa izay efa maty dia afaka amin’ ny ota.
for he that hath died hath been set free from sin.
8 Ary raha niara-maty tamin’ i Kristy isika, dia mino fa hiara-belona aminy koa isika;
And if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him;
9 ary fantatsika fa rehefa nitsangana tamin’ ny maty Kristy, dia tsy maty intsony Izy; tsy manan-kery aminy intsony ny fahafatesana.
since we know that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dieth no more; death hath dominion over him no longer.
10 Fa ny amin’ ny nahafatesany, dia maty ny amin’ ny ota indray mandeha Izy; fa ny amin’ ny ahavelomany kosa, dia velona ho an’ Andriamanitra Izy.
For in that he died, he died to sin once for all; but in that he liveth, he liveth to God.
11 Ary aoka ho tahaka izany koa ianareo, ka ny tenanareo dia ataovy ho efa maty ny amin’ ny ota, fa velona ho an’ Andriamanitra ao amin’ i Kristy Jesosy.
Thus do ye too consider yourselves as dead to sin, but alive to God, through Jesus Christ.
12 Koa aza avela ny ota hanjaka amin’ ny tenanareo mety maty hanarahanareo ny filany;
Let not then sin reign in your mortal body, bringing you into subjection to its lusts,
13 ary aza manolotra ny momba ny tenanareo ho amin’ ny ota ho fiadian’ ny tsi-fahamarinana; fa atolory ny tenanareo ho an’ Andriamanitra, toy ny efa maty nefa velona, ary ny momba ny tenanareo ho fiadian’ ny fahamarinana ho an’ Andriamanitra.
nor yield up your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but yield up yourselves to God, as being alive from the dead, and your members to God as instruments of righteousness.
14 Fa ny ota tsy hanan-kery aminareo; fa tsy mba ambanin’ ny lalàna ianareo, fa ambanin’ ny fahasoavana.
For sin shall not hold dominion over you; for ye are not under the Law, but under grace.
15 Ahoana ary? hanota va isika, saingy tsy ambanin’ ny lalàna, fa ambanin’ ny fahasoavana? Sanatria izany!
What then? Are we to sin, because we are not under the Law, but under grace? God forbid!
16 Tsy fantatrareo va fa raha manolo-tena ho mpanompo ianareo na ho an’ iza na ho an’ iza, dia mpanompon’ izay arahinareo ianareo, na ny ota ho amin’ ny fahafatesana, na ny fanarahana ho amin’ ny fahamarinana?
Know ye not, that whomever ye choose to obey as a master, his bondmen ye are, whether of sin whose fruit is death, or of obedience whose fruit is righteousness?
17 Ary isaorana anie Andriamanitra, fa na dia efa mpanompon’ ny ota aza ianareo, ny fonareo dia efa nanaraka ny fomban’ ny fampianarana izay nanolorana anareo;
But thanks be to God that, though ye were the bondmen of sin, ye became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching which was delivered to you;
18 ary rehefa natao afaka tamin’ ny ota ianareo, dia tonga mpanompon’ ny fahamarinana.
and being made free from sin, ye became the bondmen of righteousness.
19 Miteny araka ny fanaon’ ny olona aho noho ny fahalemen’ ny nofonareo; fa tahaka ny nanoloranareo ny momba ny tenanareo ho mpanompon’ ny fahalotoana sy ny tsi-fanarahan-dalàna hahatanteraka ny tsi-fanarahan-dalàna, dia mba atolory ankehitriny toy izany koa ny momba ny tenanareo ho mpanompon’ ny fahamarinana hahatanteraka ny fahamasinana.
I speak in a way common among men on account of the weakness of your flesh. For as ye once yielded your members as slaves to impurity and to iniquity, in order to commit iniquity, so now yield your members as bondmen to righteousness in order to become holy.
20 Fa fony mpanompon’ ny ota ianareo, dia afaka tamin’ ny fahamarinana.
For when ye were the slaves of sin, ye were not the bondmen of righteousness.
21 Inona ary no vokatra azonareo fahiny tamin’ izay zavatra mahamenatra anareo ankehitriny? fa fahafatesana no hiafaran’ izany zavatra izany.
What fruit then had ye at that time from those things of which ye are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.
22 Fa ankehitriny, rehefa natao afaka tamin’ ny ota ianareo ka efa tonga mpanompon’ Andriamanitra, dia manana ny vokatrareo ho amin’ ny fahamasinana, ary ny farany dia fiainana mandrakizay. (aiōnios g166)
But now having been delivered from the slavery of sin, and having become the bondservants of God, ye have holiness as the fruit, and everlasting life as the end. (aiōnios g166)
