¹O senseless Galatians, who has bewitched you; to whom, as before your very eyes, Jesus Christ has been portrayed, crucified [among you]?

¹[Ny famonjena sy ny fahafahan'ny mino an'i Kristy ampitahaina amin'ny fahamelohana sy ny fahandevozan'izay miankina amin'ny lalàna] Ry Galatiana adala, iza no nanimba anareo; kanefa teo imasonareo indrindra no nanehoana marimarina an'i Jesosy Kristy voahombo tamin'ny hazo fijaliana? [ Gr. mamosavy]

²This only I wish to learn of you, Have ye received the Spirit on the principle of works of law, or of [the] report of faith?

²Izao ihany no tiako holazainareo amiko: Moa ny asan'ny lalàna va no nandraisanareo ny Fanahy, sa ny fitoriana ny finoana? [ Na: fandrenesana amin'ny finoana]

³Are ye so senseless? having begun in Spirit, are ye going to be made perfect in flesh?

³Adala toy izany va ianareo? Rehefa nanomboka tamin'ny Fanahy ianareo, dia hahatanteraka amin'ny nofo va ankehitriny?

⁴Have ye suffered so many things in vain, if indeed also in vain?

⁴Moa izany zavatra be izany dia efa niaretanareo foana, raha dia foana tokoa izany?

⁵He therefore who ministers to you the Spirit, and works miracles among you, [is it] on the principle of works of law, or of [the] report of faith?

⁵Ary Izay manome anareo ny Fanahy sy mahavita asa lehibe eo aminareo, moa avy amin'ny asan'ny lalàna va izany, sa avy amin'ny fitoriana ny finoana? [ Na: fandrenesana amin'ny finoana]

⁶Even as Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness.

⁶Dia tahaka an'i Abrahama nino an'Andriamanitra, ka dia nasaina ho fahamarinany izany (Gen. 15. 6).

⁷Know then that they that are on the principle of faith, these are Abraham's sons;

⁷Koa fantaro fa izay amin'ny finoana no zanak'i Abrahama.

⁸and the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the nations on the principle of faith, announced beforehand the glad tidings to Abraham: In thee all the nations shall be blessed.

⁸Ary satria hitan'ny Soratra Masina rahateo fa amin'ny finoana no anamarinan'Andriamanitra ny jentilisa, dia nitory ny filazantsara tamin'i Abrahama rahateo izy, nanao hoe: Aminao no hitahiana ny firenena rehetra (Gen. 12. 3);

⁹So that they who are on the principle of faith are blessed with believing Abraham.

⁹ka dia izay amin'ny finoana notahina mbamin'i Abrahama mpino.

¹⁰For as many as are on the principle of works of law are under curse. For it is written, Cursed is every one who does not continue in all things which [are] written in the book of the law to do them;

¹⁰Fa izay rehetra amin'ny asan'ny lalàna dia eo ambanin'ny fanozonana; fa voasoratra hoe: Voaozona izay rehetra tsy maharitra mankatò ny zavatra rehetra voasoratra ao amin'ny bokin'ny lalàna (Deo. 27. 26).

¹¹but that by law no one is justified with God [is] evident, because The just shall live on the principle of faith;

¹¹Ary hita marimarina fa amin'ny lalàna dia tsy misy olona hamarinina eo anatrehan'Andriamanitra ; fa ny marina amin'ny finoana no ho velona (Hab. 2. 4). [ Na: ny marina ho velon'ny finoana]

¹²but the law is not on the principle of faith; but, He that shall have done these things shall live by them.

¹²Ary ny lalàna tsy araka ny finoana; fa izay mahatandrina izany no ho velona aminy (Lev. 18. 5).

¹³Christ has redeemed us out of the curse of the law, having become a curse for us, (for it is written, Cursed [is] every one hanged upon a tree,)

¹³Kristy nanavotra anay tamin'ny ozon'ny lalàna, satria tonga voaozona hamonjy anay Izy; fa voasoratra hoe : Voaozona izay rehetra mihantona amin'ny hazo (Deo. 21. 23),

¹⁴that the blessing of Abraham might come to the nations in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

¹⁴mba ho tonga amin'ny jentilisa ny fitahiana an'i Abrahama ao amin'i Kristy Jesosy, ary mba horaisintsika amin'ny finoana ny teny fikasana ny amin'ny Fanahy.

¹⁵Brethren, (I speak according to man,) even man's confirmed covenant no one sets aside, or adds other dispositions to.

¹⁵Ry rahalahy - miteny araka ny fanaon'ny olona aho - na dia ny fanekena ataon'olona ihany aza, rehefa vita mafy, dia tsy fanao ny manatsoaka na manampy izany. [ Na: didim-pananana]

¹⁶But to Abraham were the promises addressed, and to his seed: he does not say, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed; which is Christ.

¹⁶Ary tamin'i Abrahama sy ny taranany no nilazana ny teny fikasana. Tsy lazainy hoe: Ary ho an'ny taranaka, toy ny milaza ny maro; fa toy ny milaza ny anankiray, ary ho an'ny taranakao (Gen. 22. 18), dia Kristy izany.

¹⁷Now I say this, A covenant confirmed beforehand by God, the law, which took place four hundred and thirty years after, does not annul, so as to make the promise of no effect.

¹⁷Ary izao no lazaiko: Ny fanekena izay nataon'Andriamanitra mafy fahiny dia tsy tsoahan'ny lalàna, izay vao natao telo-polo amby efa-jato taona tato aoriana, hahafoana ny teny fikasana.

¹⁸For if the inheritance [be] on the principle of law, [it is] no longer on the principle of promise; but God gave it in grace to Abraham by promise.

¹⁸Fa raha avy amin'ny lalàna ny lova, dia tsy avy amin'ny teny fikasana intsony; nefa tamin'i Abrahama dia teny fikasana no nanomezan'Andriamanitra azy.

¹⁹Why then the law? It was added for the sake of transgressions, until the seed came to whom the promise was made, ordained through angels in [the] hand of a mediator.

¹⁹Inona ary ny lalàna ? Nanampy noho ny fahadisoana izy ambara-pihavin'ny taranaka izay nomena ny teny fikasana; ary nalahatr'anjely teo an-tànan'ny mpanalalana izany.

²⁰But a mediator is not of one, but God is one.

²⁰Ary ny mpanalalana dia tsy an'ny irery, fa Andriamanitra dia iray ihany.

²¹[Is] then the law against the promises of God? Far be the thought. For if a law had been given able to quicken, then indeed righteousness were on the principle of law;

²¹Ka moa manohitra ny teny fikasan'Andriamanitra va ny lalàna? Sanatria izany! Fa raha nisy lalàna mahavelona nomena, dia avy tamin'ny lalàna tokoa ny fahamarinana

²²but the scripture has shut up all things under sin, that the promise, on the principle of faith of Jesus Christ, should be given to those that believe.

²²Fa ny Soratra Masina efa nanidy azy rehetra teo amin'ny fahotana, mba homena ny mino ny teny fikasana noho ny finoana an i Jesosy Kristy.

²³But before faith came, we were guarded under law, shut up to faith [which was] about to be revealed.

²³Fa fony tsy mbola tonga ny finoana, dia voambina tao ambanin'ny lalàna isika ka voahidy ho amin'ny finoana izay efa haseho ato aoriana.

²⁴So that the law has been our tutor up to Christ, that we might be justified on the principle of faith.

²⁴Koa ny lalàna dia mpitaiza antsika ho amin'i Kristy, mba hohamarinina noho ny finoana isika.

²⁵But, faith having come, we are no longer under a tutor;

²⁵Fa rehefa tonga ny finoana, dia tsy fehezin'izay mpitaiza intsony isika.

²⁶for ye are all God's sons by faith in Christ Jesus.

²⁶Fa ianareo rehetra dia zanak'Andriamanitra amin'ny finoana an'i Kristy Jesosy.

²⁷For ye, as many as have been baptised unto Christ, have put on Christ.

²⁷Fa na iza na iza ianareo no natao batisa ho an'i Kristy dia nitafy an'i Kristy.

²⁸There is no Jew nor Greek; there is no bondman nor freeman; there is no male and female; for ye are all one in Christ Jesus:

²⁸Tsy misy intsony na Jiosy na Grika, na andevo na tsy andevo, na lahy sy vavy; fa iray ihany ianareo rehetra ao amin'i Kristy Jesosy.Fa raha an'i Kristy ianareo, dia taranak'i Abrahama sy mpandova araka ny teny fikasana.

²⁹but if *ye* [are] of Christ, then ye are Abraham's seed, heirs according to promise.

²⁹Fa raha an'i Kristy ianareo, dia taranak'i Abrahama sy mpandova araka ny teny fikasana.
