¹Christ has set us free in freedom; stand fast therefore, and be not held again in a yoke of bondage.

¹Ho amin'ny fahafahana no nanafahan'i Kristy antsika; ka tomoera tsara, fa aza mety hohazonin'ny zioga fanandevozana intsony.

²Behold, I, Paul, say to you, that if ye are circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.

²[Famporisihana ny Galatiana tsy hahavery ny fahafahany, fa hazoto handroso amin'ny fitondran-tena tsara] Indro, izaho Paoly milaza aminareo fa raha mety hoforana ianareo, dia tsy hahasoa anareo na dia kely akory aza Kristy.

³And I witness again to every man [who is] circumcised, that he is debtor to do the whole law.

³Ary lazaiko marina indray amin'ny olona manaiky hoforana rehetra fa mpitrosa tsy maintsy mankatò ny lalàna rehetra izy.

⁴Ye are deprived of all profit from the Christ as separated [from him], as many as are justified by law; ye have fallen from grace.

⁴Dia tafasaraka amin'i Kristy ianareo na iza na iza izay mitady hohamarinina amin'ny lalàna; efa lavo niala tamin'ny fahasoavana ianareo.

⁵For we, by [the] Spirit, on the principle of faith, await the hope of righteousness.

⁵Fa izahay amin'ny Fanahy sy noho ny finoana dia miandry ny fanantenana ny fahamarinana. [ Na: fanantenan']

⁶For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision has any force, nor uncircumcision; but faith working through love.

⁶Fa ao amin'i Kristy Jesosy dia tsy mahasoa na ny famorana na ny tsi-famorana, fa ny finoana izay miasa amin'ny fitiavana.

⁷Ye ran well; who has stopped you that ye should not obey the truth?

⁷Hianareo nihazakazaka tsara, iza no nisakana anareo tsy hanaiky ny marina?

⁸The persuasibleness [is] not of him that calls you.

⁸Izany fitaomana izany dia tsy avy tamin'ilay miantso anareo.

⁹A little leaven leavens the whole lump.

⁹Ny masirasira kely dia mahatonga ny vongana rehetra ho masirasira avokoa.

¹⁰*I* have confidence as to you in [the] Lord, that ye will have no other mind; and he that is troubling you shall bear the guilt [of it], whosoever he may be.

¹⁰Izaho matoky anareo ao amin'ny Tompo fa tsy hisaina zavatra hafa akory ianareo; fa ilay mampitabataba anareo no hiharan'ny fanamelohana, na zovy na zovy izy.

¹¹But *I*, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why am I yet persecuted? Then the scandal of the cross has been done away.

¹¹Fa izaho, ry rahalahy, raha mbola mitory ny famorana ihany, nahoana aho no mbola enjehina? Dia afaka tokoa ny fahatafintohinana noho ny hazo fijaliana.

¹²I would that they would even cut themselves off who throw you into confusion.

¹²Enga anie ka hiesotra aza izay mampitabataba anareo. [ Na: hanakilema tena]

¹³For *ye* have been called to liberty, brethren; only [do] not [turn] liberty into an opportunity to the flesh, but by love serve one another.

¹³Fa efa nantsoina ho amin'ny fahafahana ianareo, ry rahalahy; kanefa aoka tsy ho entinareo hanaraka ny nofo izany fahafahana izany, fa mifampanompoa amin'ny fitiavana.

¹⁴For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself;

¹⁴Fa tanteraka amin'ny teny iray ihany ny lalàna rehetra, dia izao: Tiava ny namanao tahaka ny tenanao (Lev. 19. 18).

¹⁵but if ye bite and devour one another, see that ye are not consumed one of another.

¹⁵Fa raha mifandramatra sy mifampihinana ianareo, tandremo fandrao mifandringana.

¹⁶But I say, Walk in [the] Spirit, and ye shall no way fulfil flesh's lust.

¹⁶Fa hoy izaho: Mandehana araka ny Fanahy, dia tsy hahatanteraka ny filan'ny nofo ianareo.

¹⁷For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these things are opposed one to the other, that ye should not do those things which ye desire;

¹⁷Fa ny nofo manohitra ny Fanahy, ary ny Fanahy manohitra ny nofo; ary mifanohitra izy roroa, mba tsy hahazoanaroeo manao izay zavatra tianareo.

¹⁸but if ye are led by the Spirit, ye are not under law.

¹⁸Fa raha tarihin'ny Fanahy ianareo, dia tsy mba ambanin'ny lalàna.

¹⁹Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are fornication, uncleanness, licentiousness,

¹⁹Fa miharihary ny asan'ny nofo, dia izao: Fijangajangana, fahalotoana, fijejojejoana,

²⁰idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strifes, jealousies, angers, contentions, disputes, schools of opinion,

²⁰fanompoan-tsampy, fanaovana ody ratsy, fandrafiana, fifandirana, adi-lahy, fiafonafonana, fifampiandaniana, fisarahana, fitokoana,

²¹envyings, murders, drunkennesses, revels, and things like these; as to which I tell you beforehand, even as I also have said before, that they who do such things shall not inherit God's kingdom.

²¹fialonana, fahamamoana, filalaovan-dratsy, ary ny toy izany, izay lazaiko aminareo rahateo, tahaka ny voalazako fahiny koa, fa izay manao izany dia tsy handova ny fanjakan'Andriamanitra.

²²But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, fidelity,

²²Fa ny vokatry ny Fanahy kosa dia fitiavana, fifaliana, fiadanana, fahari-po fahamoram-panahy, fanaovan-tsoa, fahamarinana,

²³meekness, self-control: against such things there is no law.

²³fahalemem-panahy, fahononam-po; tsy misy lalàna manohitra izany.

²⁴But they that [are] of the Christ have crucified the flesh with the passions and the lusts.

²⁴Fa izay an'Kristy Jesosy dia efa nanombo ny nofony mbamin'ny faniriany sy ny filany tamin'ny hazo fijaliana.

²⁵If we live by the Spirit, let us walk also by the Spirit.

²⁵Raha velon'ny Fanahy isika, dia aoka handeha araka ny Fanahy.Aoka isika tsy handrani-tena foana ka hifampihaika sy hifampialona.

²⁶Let us not become vain-glorious, provoking one another, envying one another.

²⁶Aoka isika tsy handrani-tena foana ka hifampihaika sy hifampialona.
