¹Paul, bondman of Jesus Christ, [a] called apostle, separated to God's glad tidings,

¹[Fitarihan-teny] Paoly, mpanompon'i Jesosy Kristy, voantso ho Apostoly, voatokana ho amin'ny filazantsaran'Andriamanitra,

²(which he had before promised by his prophets in holy writings,)

²izay nampilazainy ny mpaminany rahateo teo amin'ny Soratra Masina, [ teo amin'izay soratra masina]

³concerning his Son (come of David's seed according to flesh,

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

⁴marked out Son of God in power, according to [the] Spirit of holiness, by resurrection of [the] dead) Jesus Christ our Lord;

⁴ary naseho tamin-kery ho Zanak'Andriamanitra araka ny fahamasinana tamin'ny fitsanganany tamin'ny maty, - dia Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika, [ Na: notendrena] [ Na: naseho ho Zanak'Andriamanitra mahery]

⁵by whom we have received grace and apostleship in behalf of his name, for obedience of faith among all the nations,

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

⁶among whom are *ye* also [the] called of Jesus Christ:

⁶ary ianareo koa, izay isan'ireny, dia voantso ho an'i Jesosy Kristy, -

⁷to all that are in Rome, beloved of God, called saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and [our] Lord Jesus Christ.

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

⁸First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is proclaimed in the whole world.

⁸Voalohany, 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.

⁹For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the glad tidings of his Son, how unceasingly I make mention of you,

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

¹⁰always beseeching at my prayers, if any way now at least I may be prospered by the will of God to come to you.

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

¹¹For I greatly desire to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to establish you;

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

¹²that is, to have mutual comfort among you, each by the faith [which is] in the other, both yours and mine.

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

¹³But I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, that I often proposed to come to you, (and have been hindered until the present time,) that I might have some fruit among you too, even as among the other nations also.

¹³Ary 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.

¹⁴I am a debtor both to Greeks and barbarians, both to wise and unintelligent:

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

¹⁵so, as far as depends on me, am I ready to announce the glad tidings to you also who [are] in Rome.

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

¹⁶For I am not ashamed of the glad tidings; for it is God's power to salvation, to every one that believes, both to Jew first and to Greek:

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

¹⁷for righteousness of God is revealed therein, on the principle of faith, to faith: according as it is written, But the just shall live by faith.

¹⁷Fa 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 (Hab. 2. 4). [Na: Ny marina ho velon'ny finoana]

¹⁸For there is revealed wrath of God from heaven upon all impiety, and unrighteousness of men holding the truth in unrighteousness.

¹⁸[Ny amin'ny faharatsian'ny toetry ny jentilisa sy ny mahameloka azy] 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,

¹⁹Because what is known of God is manifest among them, for God has manifested [it] to them,

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

²⁰-- for from [the] world's creation the invisible things of him are perceived, being apprehended by the mind through the things that are made, both his eternal power and divinity, -- so as to render them inexcusable.

²⁰Fa 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; [ Na: Mba tsy hanan-kalahatra]

²¹Because, knowing God, they glorified [him] not as God, neither were thankful; but fell into folly in their thoughts, and their heart without understanding was darkened:

²¹fa 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.

²²professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

²²Nandoka tena ho hendry izy ka tonga adala,

²³and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into [the] likeness of an image of corruptible man and of birds and quadrupeds and reptiles.

²³koa 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.

²⁴Wherefore God gave them up [also] in the lusts of their hearts to uncleanness, to dishonour their bodies between themselves:

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

²⁵who changed the truth of God into falsehood, and honoured and served the creature more than him who had created [it], who is blessed for ever. Amen.

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

²⁶For this reason God gave them up to vile lusts; for both their females changed the natural use into that contrary to nature;

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

²⁷and in like manner the males also, leaving the natural use of the female, were inflamed in their lust towards one another; males with males working shame, and receiving in themselves the recompense of their error which was fit.

²⁷ary 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.

²⁸And according as they did not think good to have God in [their] knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind to practise unseemly things;

²⁸Ary 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,

²⁹being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness, malice; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil dispositions; whisperers,

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

³⁰back-biters, hateful to God, insolent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

³⁰mpibitsibitsika, mpanendrikendrika, halan'Andriamanitra, mpampahory, mpiavonavona, mpandoka tena, mpamoron-tsain-dratsy, tsy manoa ray sy reny, [ Na: mpankahala an'Andriamanitra]

³¹void of understanding, faithless, without natural affection, unmerciful;

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

³²who knowing the righteous judgment of God, that they who do such things are worthy of death, not only practise them, but have fellow delight in those who do [them].

³²dia 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.
