Romana 5
1 Aa kanao vinolily ho vantañe tika ty amy fatokisan-tikañey, le an-kanintsiñe tika aman’ Añahare añamy Talèn-tika Iesoà Norizañey,
Because we trusted [in Christ], the record of our sins has been erased {[God] has erased the record of our sins}. So we [now] have a peaceful relationship with God because of our trust in what our Lord Jesus Christ [has done for us].
2 le fatokisañe ka ro ahazoan-tika lalañe mb’amy hasoa ijohañan-tikañey, ie mitreñe, misalala ty hahaoniñañe i engen’ Añaharey!
Because of [what] Christ [has done], God has also enabled us to begin experiencing his continually acting toward us in ways that we do not deserve. Also, we rejoice because we are confidently expecting that God [will gladly show] us how great he is.
3 Tsy izay avao, fa rengen-tika o halovilovian-tikañeo, fohiñe te minday fahaliñisañe i haloviloviañey
We rejoice even when we suffer [as a result of our trusting in Christ], because we know that when we are suffering, the result is that we learn to endure things [patiently].
4 naho figahiñañe i fahaliñisañey vaho fitamàñe i figahiñañey,
And [we know] that when we endure things [patiently], the result is that [God] approves [of us]. And when we [know that God] approves [of us], the result is that we confidently expect [that he will do great things for us].
5 ie tsy salare’ i fitamàñey, amy te nadoandoañe an-tron-tikañe ao ty fikokoan’ Añahare amy Arofo Masiñe natolots’ an-tikañey.
And we are very confident [PRS] that we will receive the things that we wait expectantly [for], because God loves us very much. His Holy Spirit, who has been {whom [he] has} given to us, [causes] us to understand how much God loves us.
6 Ie mbe nalejolejo tika, le nivilasy ho a o lo-tserekeo ami’ty sa mete i Norizañey.
When we were unable [to save ourselves], it was Christ who, at the time [that God chose], died on behalf of [us] ungodly [people].
7 Tsy siake hamoeñ’ aiñe ty vañoñe, fe he eo ty mahavany hivetrake hisolo t’indaty soa.
Rarely would anyone die on behalf of another person, [even if] that person were righteous, although someone might be courageous enough to die on behalf of a truly good person person.
8 Fe niventen’ Añahare ty fikokoa’e antika, amy te mbe nanan-kakeo tika te nivilasy i Norizañey.
Nevertheless, as for God, the way he showed us that he loves us is that Christ died on our behalf while we were still rebelling against God.
9 Aa kanao nivantañe’ i lio’ey tika, antsake te ho hahañ’ amy haviñerañey!
The record of our sins has been erased {[God] has erased the record of our sins} because of [what Christ accomplished when] his blood [MTY] [flowed when he died]. So it is even more certain that we will be saved by Christ {that Christ will save us} from God’s punishing us [eternally] [MTY].
10 Ie mbe nimpirafelahy tika ro nifampilongoeñe aman’ Añahare amy havilasi’ i Ana’eiy, sandrake, t’ie nijebaña’e ro ho rombaheñe amy havelo’ey!
Even when we were acting hostilely towards God, he enabled us to have a peaceful relationship with him as a result of his Son dying [for us]. So it is even more certain that we will be saved {Christ will be able to save us} [from God’s punishing us] [MTY] because Christ is alive [again] and because [God] has enabled us to have a peaceful relationship [with himself].
11 Tsy izay avao, fa Iesoà Talè Norizañey henaneo ty andrengean-tika an’ Andrianañahare, i nanjoan-tika fijebañañey.
And that’s not all! Now we also rejoice about [the things that] God [has done for us] because of our Lord Jesus Christ [dying for us] and enabling us to have a peaceful relationship with God.
12 Aa le hambañe amy te indaty raike ty nizilihan-kakeo ami’ty voatse toy naho i havilasiy ty amy tahiñey, te kila hifetsahan-kavilasy, amy te fonga nandilatse;
[What you can learn from what I have written so far is as follows]: All people are sinful [PRS], and that is the result of [Adam, the first] man whom [God created, sinning long ago]. Adam died [PRS] because he sinned. So, all people [who have lived since then] die, because [it is as though] all people sinned [when Adam sinned].
13 Toe tami’ty voatse toy taolo’ i Hake o fandilarañeo, fe tsy mahaseseke ty tahiñe naho tsy eo ty Hake.
[People in] [MTY] the world sinned before [God gave his] laws [to Moses]. But people are not considered [by God] {[God] does not consider people} to be guilty for their sins if there is no law [stating that what they did was sinful].
14 Ndra te izay, nameleke faha’ i Dame pak’ amy Mosè o havilasio, ndra amo tsy nandilatse am-panjehara’ i Dameo, ie fanalinjoa’ i hitotsakey.
But [we know] that from [the time when] Adam [lived] until [the time when] Moses [lived], all people sinned, and they died [as a consequence] [PRS, MET]. Even people who sinned differently from the way Adam [sinned, died]. [Adam’s sin] affected [all people], just like what [Christ did], the one who came later, can affect all people.
15 Fe tsy manahake i tahiñey ty hasoa, fa naho ty hakeo’ i raikey ty nahavilasy i màroy, antsake te nitobàke amy màroy ty fatarihan’ Añahare, naho ty hasoam-palalà’ i raikey, Iesoà Norizañey!
But [the results of God’s erasing the record of our sins as] a gift to us are not like [the results of Adam’s] sinning. The result of one man, [Adam], sinning was that many/all people have died. But [it is certain], [however], that many people have abundantly experienced God’s acting kindly toward them in a way they did not deserve. [It is also certain] that they have experienced God’s erasing the record of their sins as the result of one man, Jesus Christ, acting kindly toward them/towards them in a way they did not deserve.
16 Eka, tsy ampanahafeñe ami’ty toli’ i nandilatsey i falalàñey, amy te nikai-jaka naho ninday fatse i raikey; fe nandimbe hakeo maro i falalàñey vaho ninday havantañañe.
And [there is another way in which God’s] freely [erasing the record of our sins] is not like [the results of Adam’s] sinning. One person, [Adam, sinned]. As a result, God declared that all people deserve to be punished. Many people sinned. But what God did was that he erased the record of their sins without their earning it.
17 Aa naho ty tahi’ i raikey ty nifehean-kavilasy añamy raikey, sandrake te hifeleke an-kaveloñe ao o mandrambe i hasoa mitoabotsey naho i ravoravon-kavantañañeio añamy raike atao Iesoà Norizañey.
All people die [MET, PRS] because of what one man, [Adam], did. But now many of us experience that God has abundantly acted towards us in ways we did not deserve, and we experience that he has erased the record of our sins without our earning it. It is also very certain that we will rule [with Christ] (OR, share [the glory] of Christ’s being king), [in heaven. This will happen] because of [what] one man, Jesus Christ, [did for us].
18 Aa le, hambañe amy te nafà’ ty hakeo raike ze kila ondaty, te nivantañen-ko veloñe ami’ty sata-vañoñe raike ka ze hene’ ondaty.
So, [because one man, Adam], disobeyed [God’s law], that resulted in all people deserving to be punished {that God punish them}. Similarly, because one man, [Jesus], acted righteously [by obeying God when he died], the result was that God is [able to erase the record of] all people’s sins and [enable them to] live eternally.
19 Fa manahake ty nampanaña’ ty fanjehara’ indatiy tahiñe i màroy, ty nañavantaña’ i raikey i màroy amy fivohora’ey.
It was because one person, [Adam], disobeyed [God] that many/all people became sinners. Similarly, it is because one person, [Jesus], obeyed [God when he died] that the record of many people’s sins will be erased {that [he] will erase the record of many people’s sins}.
20 Nivotrak’ eo ty Hake hampivangogo o tahiñeo, aa ndra te nirokoroko o tahiñeo, somandrake te niraorao ty fatarihañe,
[God gave] [PRS] his laws [to Moses] [PRS] in order that [people might realize] how greatly they had sinned; but as people sinned more, God continued to act even more kindly toward them, in a way that they did not deserve.
21 aa le hambañe amy te hakeo ty nifeleke an-kavilasy, te fatarihañe ty hifehe an-kañavantañe mb’an-kaveloñe nainai’e añamy Talèntika Iesoà Norizañey. (aiōnios g166)
He did that in order that just like people everywhere inevitably sin, [which results in their] dying [MET, PRS], people everywhere might inevitably experience God’s acting kindly towards them in a way they do not deserve [MET, PRS] by [erasing the record of their sins]. [The result is that people can] live eternally because of what Jesus Christ our Lord [did for them]. (aiōnios g166)
