Romana 1

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

PAUL, a servant of Jesus the Messiah, called and sent; and separated unto the gospel of God,

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

(which he had before promised, by his prophets, in the holy scriptures,

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

concerning his Son, (who was born in the flesh, of seed of the house of David,

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

and was made known as the Son of God, by power, and by the Holy Spirit, ) who arose from the dead, Jesus Messiah, our Lord,

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

by whom we have received grace, and a mission among all the Gentiles, to the end that they may obey the faith in his name;

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

among whom, ye also are called by Jesus Messiah; )

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 those who are at Rome, beloved of God, called and sanctified: Peace and grace be with you, from God our Father, and from our Lord Jesus Messiah.

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.

In the first place, I give thanks to God by Jesus Messiah, on account of you all; because your faith is heard of in all 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,

And God, whom in spirit I serve in the gospel of his Son, is my witness, that I unceasingly make mention of you, at all times, in my prayers.

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

And I likewise supplicate, that hereafter a door may be opened to me, by the good pleasure of God, to come unto you.

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

For I long much to see you; and to impart to you the gift of the Spirit, whereby ye may be established;

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

and that we may have comfort together, in the faith of both yourselves and me.

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.

And I wish you to know, my brethren, that I have many times desired to come to you, (though prevented hitherto, ) that I might have some fruit among you also; even as among other Gentiles,

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

Greeks and barbarians, the wise and the unwise: for to every man am I a debtor, to preach to him.

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

And so I am eager to preach to you also who are at 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.

For I am not ashamed of the gospel; for it is the power of God unto life, to all who believe in it; whether first they are of the Jews, or whether they are of the Gentiles.

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 in it is revealed the righteousness of God, from faith to faith; as it is written, The righteous by faith, shall live.

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,

For the wrath of God from heaven is revealed against all the iniquity and wickedness of men, who hold the truth in iniquity.

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

Because a knowledge of God is manifest in them; for God hath manifested it in 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, from the foundations of the world, the occult things of God are seen, by the intellect, in the things he created, even his eternal power and divinity; so that they might be 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.

because they knew God, and did not glorify him and give thanks to him as God, but became vain in their imaginings, and their unwise heart was darkened.

22 Nandoka tena ho hendry izy ka tonga adala,

And, while they thought within themselves that they were 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 they changed the glory of the incorruptible God into a likeness to the image of a corruptible man, and into the likeness of birds and quadrupeds and reptiles on the earth.

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

For this cause, God gave them up to the filthy lusts of their heart, to dishonor their bodies with them.

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)

And they changed the truth of God into a lie; and worshipped and served the created things, much more than the Creator of them, to whom belong glory and blessing, for ever and ever: 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 cause, God gave them up to vile passions: for their females changed the use of their natures, and employed that which is unnatural.

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.

And so also their males forsook the use of females, which is natural, and burned with lust toward one another; and, male with male, they did what is shameful, and received in themselves the just recompense of 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,

And as they did not determine with themselves to know God, God gave them over to a vain mind; that they might do what they ought not,

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

being full of all iniquity, and lewdness, and bitterness, and malice, and covetousness, and envy, and slaughter, and strife, and guile, and evil machinations,

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

and backbiting, and slander; and being haters of God, scoffers, proud, vain-glorious, devisers of evil things, destitute of reason, disregardful of parents,

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

and to whom a covenant is nothing, neither affection, nor peace, and in whom is no compassion.

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.

These, while they know the judgment of God, that he condemneth those to death who perpetrate such things, are not only doers of them, but the companions of such as do them.
