Romana 1

1 Paoly, mpanompon’ i Jesosy Kristy, voantso ho Apostoly, voatokana ho amin’ ny filazantsaran’ Andriamanitra,

Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, and set apart for the gospel of God—

2 izay nampilazainy ny mpaminany rahateo teo amin’ ny Soratra Masìna,

the gospel He promised beforehand through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures,

3 ny amin’ ny Zanany, Izay nateraka avy tamin’ ny taranak’ i Davida araka ny nofo,

regarding His Son, who was a descendant of David according to the flesh,

4 ary naseho tamin-kery ho Zanak’ Andriamanitra araka ny fahamasinana tamin’ ny fitsanganany tamin’ ny maty, ― dia Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika,

and who through the Spirit of holiness was declared with power to be the Son of God by His resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord.

5 Izay nandraisanay fahasoavana sy ny mah’ Apostoly anay hahatonga fanekena ny finoana ho voninahitry ny anarany any amin’ ny jentilisa rehetra;

Through Him and on behalf of His name, we received grace and apostleship to call all those among the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith.

6 ary ianareo koa, izay isan’ ireny, dia voantso ho an’ i Jesosy Kristy, ―

And you also are among those who are called to belong to Jesus Christ.

7 ho an’ izay rehetra any Roma, malalan’ Andriamanitra sady voantso ho masìna; ho aminareo anie ny fahasoavana sy ny fiadanana avy amin’ Andriamanitra Raintsika sy Jesosy Kristy Tompo.

To all in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints: Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

8 Voalohany, misaotra an’ Andriamanitro amin’ ny alalan’ i Jesosy Kristy aho noho ny aminareo rehetra, satria efa re eran’ izao tontolo izao ny lazan’ ny finoanareo.

First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is being proclaimed all over the world.

9 Fa Andriamanitra, Izay tompoin’ ny fanahiko amin’ ny filazantsaran’ ny Zanany, no vavolombeloko fa tsy mitsahatra mahatsiaro anareo aho, ka mandrakariva, raha mivavaka aho,

God, whom I serve with my spirit in preaching the gospel of His Son, is my witness how constantly I remember you

10 dia mangataka fandrao mba hisy hahafahako amin’ izao ho tonga aminareo, raha sitrapon’ Andriamanitra.

in my prayers at all times, asking that now at last by God’s will I may succeed in coming to you.

11 Fa maniry hahita anareo aho hanomezako anareo fahasoavam-panahy ho anareo, mba hampaharezina ianareo,

For I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you,

12 izany dia ny mba hiarahako hamporisihina aminareo amin’ ny finoantsika, dia ny anareo sy ny ahy.

that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith.

13 Ary tsy tiako tsy ho fantatrareo, ry rahalahy, fa matetika aho no efa nikasa hankatỳ aminareo (saingy azon-tsampona mandraka ankehitriny aho), hananako izay vokatra atỳ aminareo koa, toy ny any amin’ ny jentilisa sasany.

I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, how often I planned to come to you (but have been prevented from visiting until now), in order that I might have a harvest among you, just as I have had among the other Gentiles.

14 Ananan’ ny Grika sy ny firenena hafa rehetra, ny hendry sy ny tsy hendry, trosa aho;

I am obligated both to Greeks and non-Greeks, both to the wise and the foolish.

15 koa raha izaho, dia mazoto hitory ny filazantsara aminareo izay any Roma koa aho.

That is why I am so eager to preach the gospel also to you who are in Rome.

16 Fa tsy menatra ny filazantsara aho; fa herin’ Andriamanitra ho famonjena izay rehetra mino izany, amin’ ny Jiosy aloha, dia vao amin’ ny jentilisa koa.

I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, first to the Jew, then to the Greek.

17 Fa amin’ izany no anehoana fahamarinana avy amin’ Andriamanitra avy amin’ ny finoana sy ho amin’ ny finoana, araka ny voasoratra hoe: Ny marina amin’ ny finoana no ho velona.

For the gospel reveals the righteousness of God that comes by faith from start to finish, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”

18 Fa aseho avy any an-danitra ny fahatezeran’ Andriamanitra amin’ ny faharatsiana rehetra sy ny tsi-fahamarinan’ ny olona izay misakana ny fahamarinana amin’ ny fanaovan-dratsy,

The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness.

19 satria izay fantatra ny amin’ Andriamanitra dia miseho ao am-pon’ ireny, fa nasehon’ Andriamanitra taminy.

For what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them.

20 Fa ny fombany tsy hita, dia ny heriny mandrakizay sy ny mah’ Andriamanitra Azy, dia miseho hatramin’ ny nanaovana izao tontolo izao, fa fantatra amin’ ny zavatra nataony; ka dia tsy manan-kalahatra ireo; (aïdios g126)

For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from His workmanship, so that men are without excuse. (aïdios g126)

21 fa na dia nahalala an’ Andriamanitra aza izy, dia tsy mba nankalaza Azy toy izay miendrika ho an’ Andriamanitra, na nisaotra Azy, fa tonga zava-poana izy tamin’ ny fisainany, ary tonga maizina ny fony donto.

For although they knew God, they neither glorified Him as God nor gave thanks to Him, but they became futile in their thinking and darkened in their foolish hearts.

22 Nandoka tena ho hendry izy ka tonga adala,

Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools,

23 koa ny voninahitr’ Andriamanitra tsy mety lò dia nosoloany zavatra tahaka ny endriky ny olona mety lò sy ny vorona sy ny biby manan-tongotra efatra ary ny zavatra mandady sy mikisaka.

and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images of mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.

24 Ary izany no nanoloran’ Andriamanitra azy tamin’ ny filan’ ny fony ho amin’ ny fahalotoana, dia ny nifanalany voninahitra tamin’ ny tenany avy;

Therefore God gave them over in the desires of their hearts to impurity for the dishonoring of their bodies with one another.

25 ary ny fahamarinan’ Andriamanitra dia nosoloany lainga, ka nanaja sy nanompo ny zavatra natao izy, fa tsy ny Mpanao, Izay isaorana mandrakizay. Amena. (aiōn g165)

They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is forever worthy of praise! Amen. (aiōn g165)

26 Izany no nanoloran’ Andriamanitra azy ho amin’ ny filan-dratsy mahavoafady; fa ny vehivavy tao aminy nanova ny fanaony ho amin’ izay tsy fanaony;

For this reason God gave them over to dishonorable passions. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones.

27 ary tahaka izany koa ny lehilahy, fa namela ny fanao amin’ ny vehivavy izy ka maimay tamin’ ny fifampilany samy lehilahy nifanao izay mahamenatra, dia nandray tao amin’ ny tenany ny valiny izay tokony ho azy noho ny fiviliany.

Likewise, the men abandoned natural relations with women and burned with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.

28 Ary araka ny nanaovany ny fahalalana marina an’ Andriamanitra ho tsy miendrika hotanany, dia araka izany kosa no nanoloran’ Andriamanitra azy ho amin’ ny fisainana tsy mahamendrika hanao izay zavatra tsy tokony hatao,

Furthermore, since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, He gave them up to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done.

29 ka dia feno ny tsi-fahamarinana rehetra, ny faharatsiana, ny fieremana, ny lolompo, ― feno fialonana, vonoan-olona, fifandirana, fitaka, otri-po, ―

They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed, and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, and malice. They are gossips,

30 mpibitsibitsika, mpanendrikendrika, halan’ Andriamanitra, mpampahory, mpiavonavona, mpandoka tena, mpamoron-tsain-dratsy, tsy manoa ray sy reny,

slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant, and boastful. They invent new forms of evil; they disobey their parents.

31 tsy manam-pahalalana, tsy mitana fanekena, tsy manam-pitiavana, tsy miantra;

They are senseless, faithless, heartless, merciless.

32 dia olona mahalala tsara ny fitsipika nomen’ Andriamanitra fa izay manao izany zavatra izany no miendrika ho faty, nefa tsy manao izany ihany izy, fa mankasitraka ny manao koa.

Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things are worthy of death, they not only continue to do these things, but also approve of those who practice them.
