¹But *we* ought, we that are strong, to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

¹Fa isika izay matanjaka dia tokony hitondra ny fahalemen'ny malemy ka tsy hitady izay hahafaly ny tenantsika ihany.

²Let each one of us please his neighbour with a view to what is good, to edification.

²Aoka isika rehetra samy hitady izay hahafaly ny namantsika amin'izay hahasoa sy hampandroso azy.

³For the Christ also did not please himself; but according as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproach thee have fallen upon me.

³Fa Kristy aza tsy nitady izay hahafaly ny tenany; fa araka ny voasoratra hoe: Ny latsa nataon'izay nandatsa Anao dia nihatra tamiko (Sal. 69. 9).

⁴For as many things as have been written before have been written for our instruction, that through endurance and through encouragement of the scriptures we might have hope.

⁴Fa izay rehetra voasoratra fahiny dia nosoratana ho fianarantsika hananantsika ny fanantenana amin'ny faharetana sy ny fiononana avy amin'ny Soratra Masina.

⁵Now the God of endurance and of encouragement give to you to be like-minded one toward another, according to Christ Jesus;

⁵Fa Andriamanitry ny faharetana sy ny fiononana anie hampiray hevitra anareo araka an 'i Kristy Jesosy,

⁶that ye may with one accord, with one mouth, glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁶mba ho saina iray sy vava iray no hiarahanareo mankalaza an'Andriamanitra, Rain'i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika.

⁷Wherefore receive ye one another, according as the Christ also has received you to [the] glory of God.

⁷Koa mifandraisa ianareo tahaka ny nandraisan'i Kristy anareo koa ho voninahitr'Andriamanitra. [ Na: (antsika)]

⁸For I say that Jesus Christ became a minister of [the] circumcision for [the] truth of God, to confirm the promises of the fathers;

⁸Fa lazaiko fa Kristy efa tonga mpanompon'ny voafora noho ny fahamarinan'Andriamanitra hahatò ny teny fikasana tamin'ny razana,

⁹and that the nations should glorify God for mercy; according as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among [the] nations, and will sing to thy name.

⁹mba hankalazan'ny jentilisa an'Andriamanitra koa noho ny famindram-po, araka ny voasoratra hoe: Izany no hiderako Anao any amin'ny jentilisa Sy hankalazako ny anaranao (Sal. 18. 49).

¹⁰And again he says, Rejoice, nations, with his people.

¹⁰Ary hoy koa Izy: Miravoravoa. ry jentilisa, mbamin'ny olony (Deo. 32. 43).

¹¹And again, Praise the Lord, all [ye] nations, and let all the peoples laud him.

¹¹Ary koa: Midera'an'i Jehovah, ry jentilisa rehetra. Ary aoka hankalaza Azy ny firenena rehetra (Sal. 117. 1).

¹²And again, Esaias says, There shall be the root of Jesse, and one that arises, to rule over [the] nations: in him shall [the] nations hope.

¹²Ary hoy koa Isaia: Hisy Solofon'i Jese. Dia Ilay hitsangana hanapaka ny jentilisa; Izy no hitokian'ny jentilisa (Iza. 11. 10).

¹³Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that ye should abound in hope by [the] power of [the] Holy Spirit.

¹³Ary Andriamanitry ny fanantenana anie hameno anareo amin'ny fifaliana sy ny fiadanana rehetra amin'ny finoanareo, mba hitomboanareo amin'ny fanantenana noho ny herin'ny Fanahy Masina.

¹⁴But I am persuaded, my brethren, I myself also, concerning you, that yourselves also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.

¹⁴Fa izaho koa, ry rahalahiko, dia matoky ny aminareo fa feno fahatsarana ianareo sady mahay mifananatra koa.

¹⁵But I have written to you the more boldly, [brethren,] in part, as putting you in mind, because of the grace given to me by God,

¹⁵Kanefa amin'ny fahasahiana no anoratako ny teny sasany aminareo, toy ny mampahatsiaro anareo indray noho ny fahasoavana nomen'Andriamanitra ahy,

¹⁶for me to be minister of Christ Jesus to the nations, carrying on as a sacrificial service the [message of] glad tidings of God, in order that the offering up of the nations might be acceptable, sanctified by [the] Holy Spirit.

¹⁶mba ho mpanompon'i Kristy Jesosy ho an'ny jentilisa aho ka manao fanompoam-pivavahana amin'ny itoriako ny filazantsaran'Andriamanitra, mba horaisina amin'ny fankasitrahana ny fanatitra, dia ny jentilisa, rehefa nohamasinin'ny Fanahy Masina.

¹⁷I have therefore [whereof to] boast in Christ Jesus in the things which pertain to God.

¹⁷Ka dia manana izay hataoko rehareha ao amin'i Kristy Jesosy aho noho ny amin'Andriamanitra.

¹⁸For I will not dare to speak anything of the things which Christ has not wrought by me, for [the] obedience of [the] nations, by word and deed,

¹⁸Fa tsy sahiko lazaina izay zavatra tsy nampanaovin'i Kristy ahy, na tamin'ny teny, na tamin'ny asa, mba hampanaiky ny jentilisa,

¹⁹in [the] power of signs and wonders, in [the] power of [the] Spirit of God; so that I, from Jerusalem, and in a circuit round to Illyricum, have fully preached the glad tidings of the Christ;

¹⁹dia tamin'ny herin'ny famantarana sy ny fahagagana, ary tamin'ny herin'ny Fanahy Masina, dia hatrany Jerosalema ka manodidina hatrany Ilyrikiona, no nahatanterahako ny fitoriako ny filazantsaran'i Kristy. [ Na: (Fanahin'Andriamanitra)]

²⁰and so aiming to announce the glad tidings, not where Christ has been named, that I might not build upon another's foundation;

²⁰Koa dia nataoko ho voninahitro ny hitory ny filazantsara toy izao: tsy eo amin'izay efa niantsoana an'i Kristy anefa, fandrao hanovona eo ambonin'izay efa naorin'ny sasany aho;

²¹but according as it is written, To whom there was nothing told concerning him, they shall see; and they that have not heard shall understand.

²¹fa araka ny voasoratra hoe: Izay tsy nilazana Azy no hahita, Ary izay tsy nandre no hahafantatra (Isa. 52. 15).

²²Wherefore also I have been often hindered from coming to you.

²²Ary izany no nahasampona ahy matetika tsy hankany aminareo.

²³But now, having no longer place in these regions, and having great desire to come to you these many years,

²³Fa ankehitriny, satria tsy misy antony intsony ny itoerako amin'ireto tany ireto sady efa naniry hatramin'ny taona maro hankany aminareo aho,

²⁴whenever I should go to Spain; (for I hope to see you as I go through, and by you to be set forward thither, if first I shall have been in part filled with your company;)

²⁴raha mankany Spania; fa manantena hahita anareo amin'ny alehako aho ka haterinareo ho any, rehefa afakafaka ny alaheloko anareo.

²⁵but now I go to Jerusalem, ministering to the saints;

²⁵Fa ankehitriny dia efa hankany Jerosalema aho hanompo ny olona masina.

²⁶for Macedonia and Achaia have been well pleased to make a certain contribution for the poor of the saints who [are] in Jerusalem.

²⁶Fa efa sitrapon'Makedonia sy Akaia ny hamory vola hiantrana ny malahelo amin'ny olona masina any Jerosalema.

²⁷They have been well pleased indeed, and they are their debtors; for if the nations have participated in their spiritual things, they ought also in fleshly to minister to them.

²⁷Eny, sitrapony izany, sady mpitrosa aminy izy. Fa raha ny jentilisa no niombona ny zava-panahy taminy, dia tokony hanompo azy kosa amin'ny zavatra momba ny nofo izy.

²⁸Having finished this therefore, and having sealed to them this fruit, I will set off by you into Spain.

²⁸Ary rehefa vitako izany, ka voatolotro azy soa aman-tsara izany vokatra izany, dia hihazo any aminareo aho, raha mankany Spania.

²⁹But I know that, coming to you, I shall come in [the] fulness of [the] blessing of Christ.

²⁹Ary fantatro fa raha mankany aminareo aho, dia homba ahy ny fahafenoan'ny fitahian'i Kristy.

³⁰But I beseech you, brethren, by our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in prayers for me to God;

³⁰Ary mangataka aminareo aho, ry rahalahy, noho ny amin'i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika sy ny fitiavana avy amin'ny Fanahy, mba hiarahanareo miezaka amiko amin'ny fivavahanareo amin'Andriamanitra ho ahy,

³¹that I may be saved from those that do not believe in Judaea; and that my ministry which [I have] for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints;

³¹mba ho voavonjy amin'ny tsy mino any Jodia aho, ary mba hankasitrahan'ny ny olona masina izay fanompoana hataoko any Jerosalema,

³²in order that I may come to you in joy by God's will, and that I may be refreshed with you.

³²mba hankanesako any aminareo amin'ny fifaliana, raha sitrapon'Andriamanitra, ka samy ho velombelona ny fontsika.Ary Andriamanitry ny fiadanana anie ho aminareo rehetra. Amena.

³³And the God of peace be with you all. Amen.

³³Ary Andriamanitry ny fiadanana anie ho aminareo rehetra. Amena.
