¹Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, every one who judgest, for in that in which thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.

¹[Ny amin'ny tsi-fahamarinan'ny Jiosy sy ny tsy ahazoany fahamarinana avy amin'ny lalàna] Koa amin'izany dia tsy manan-kalahatra ianao, ralehilahy, na zovy na zovy ianao izay mitsara; fa izay itsaranao ny sasany no anamelohanao ny tenanao koa, fa ianao izay mitsara aza dia mba manao izany ihany koa. [ Gr. olona]

²But we know that the judgment of God is according to truth upon those who do such things.

²Nefa fantatsika fa ny fitsaran'Andriamanitra dia araka ny marina amin'izay manao toy izany.

³And thinkest thou this, O man, who judgest those that do such things, and practisest them [thyself], that *thou* shalt escape the judgment of God?

³Ary ianao, ralehilahy, izay mitsara ny manao izany, kanefa manao izany koa ny tenanao, moa ataonao va fa ho afa-mandositra ny fitsaran'Andriamanitra ianao? [ Gr. olona]

⁴or despisest thou the riches of his goodness, and forbearance, and long-suffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads thee to repentance?

⁴Sa hamavoinao ny haren'ny fahamoram-panahiny sy ny fandeferany ary ny fahari-pony, satria tsy fantatrao fa ny fahamoram-panahin'Andriamanitra dia mitaona anao hibebaka?

⁵but, according to thy hardness and impenitent heart, treasurest up to thyself wrath, in [the] day of wrath and revelation of [the] righteous judgment of God,

⁵Fa ny ditranao sy ny fonao tsy mibebaka no irakatenao fahatezerana ho anao amin'ny andro fahatezerana sy fampisehoana ny fitsarana marin'Andriamanitra,

⁶who shall render to each according to his works:

⁶Izay hamaly ny olona rehetra araka ny asany avy:

⁷to them who, in patient continuance of good works, seek for glory and honour and incorruptibility, life eternal.

⁷ho an'izay maharitra manao soa mandrakariva ka mitady voninahitra sy laza ary tsi-fahafatesana, dia fiainana mandrakizay;

⁸But to those that are contentious, and are disobedient to the truth, but obey unrighteousness, [there shall be] wrath and indignation,

⁸fa ho an'izay mitady ny ho an'ny tenany ihany kosa sady tsy manaraka ny marina, fa manaraka ny tsy marina, dia fahavinirana sy fahatezerana,

⁹tribulation and distress, on every soul of man that works evil, both of Jew first, and of Greek;

⁹eny, fahoriana sy fahantrana ho an'ny fanahin'ny olona rehetra izay manao ratsy, amin'ny Jiosy aloha, dia vao amin'ny jentilisa koa;

¹⁰but glory and honour and peace to every one that works good, both to Jew first and to Greek:

¹⁰fa voninahitra sy laza ary fiadanana kosa ho an'ny olona rehetra izay manao ny tsara, amin'ny Jiosy aloha, dia vao amin'ny jentilisa koa. [ Gr. Grika]

¹¹for there is no acceptance of persons with God.

¹¹Fa tsy misy fizahan-tavan'olona amin'Andriamanitra.

¹²For as many as have sinned without law shall perish also without law; and as many as have sinned under law shall be judged by law,

¹²Fa izay nanota tsy nanana ny lalàna dia ho very tsy manana ny lalàna; fa izay nanota nanana ny lalàna kosa dia hotsaraina araka ny lalàna.

¹³(for not the hearers of the law [are] just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.

¹³Fa tsy ny mpandre ny lalàna no marina eo anatrehan'Andriamanitra, fa ny mpankatò ny lalàna no hohamarinina;

¹⁴For when [those of the] nations, which have no law, practise by nature the things of the law, these, having no law, are a law to themselves;

¹⁴fa na oviana na oviana ireo jentilisa tsy manana ny lalàna ireo no misy manao izay nandidian'ny lalàna araka ny nahim-pony, na dia tsy manana ny lalàna aza ireo, dia lalàn-tenany ihany;

¹⁵who shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts accusing or else excusing themselves between themselves;)

¹⁵fa ireo maneho ny asan'ny lalàna ho voasoratra ao am-pony, sady ny fieritreretany no vavolombelony, ary ny fisainany mifampiampanga, nefa mba mifanafaka ihany koa aza,-

¹⁶in [the] day when God shall judge the secrets of men, according to my glad tidings, by Jesus Christ.

¹⁶amin'ny andro izay hitsaran'Andriamanitra ny zavatra takona ataon'ny olona, araka ny filazantsarako amin'ny alalan'i Jesosy Kristy.

¹⁷But if *thou* art named a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast in God,

¹⁷Fa raha saingy atao hoe Jiosy ianao ka mitoky amin'ny lalàna sy manao an'Andriamanitra ho reharehanao

¹⁸and knowest the will, and discerningly approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law;

¹⁸ary mahalala ny sitrapony sady mamantatra ny zavatra tsara indrindra, satria efa nampianarina ny lalàna ianao [ Na: samy hafa]

¹⁹and hast confidence that thou thyself art a leader of the blind, a light of those who [are] in darkness,

¹⁹ary matoky ny tenanao ho mpitarika ny jamba, fanazavana ny ao amin'ny maizina,

²⁰an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, having the form of knowledge and of truth in the law:

²⁰mpananatra ny adala, mpampianatra ny bodo, satria ianao manana ny lalàna ho mariky ny fahalalana sy ny fahamarinana:

²¹thou then that teachest another, dost thou not teach thyself? thou that preachest not to steal, dost thou steal?

²¹ka moa ianao izay mampianatra ny sasany, tsy mba mampianatra ny tenanao koa va? Hianao izay mitory hoe: Aza mangalatra, mba mangalatra ihany va ianao?

²²thou that sayest [man should] not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?

²²Hianao izay manao hoe: Aza mijangajanga, mba mijangajanga ihany va ianao? Hianao izay mametaveta ny sampy, mba mandroba tempoly ihany va ianao?

²³thou who boastest in law, dost thou by transgression of the law dishonour God?

²³Hianao izay manao ny lalàna ho reharehanao, mba manala voninahitra an'Andriamanitra ihany va ianao amin'ny andikanao ny lalàna?

²⁴For the name of God is blasphemed on your account among the nations, according as it is written.

²⁴Fa araka ny voasoratra, dia ianareo no itenenana ratsy ny anaran'Andriamanitra any amin'ny jentilisa (Isa. 52. 5). [Gr. anaovana blasfemia; izahao Mat. 9, 3]

²⁵For circumcision indeed profits if thou keep [the] law; but if thou be a law-transgressor, thy circumcision is become uncircumcision.

²⁵Fa ny famorana mahasoa tokoa, raha mankatò ny lalàna ianao; fa raha mpandika ny lalàna kosa ianao, dia efa tonga toy ny tsy voafora, na dia efa voafora aza.

²⁶If therefore the uncircumcision keep the requirements of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be reckoned for circumcision,

²⁶Ary raha mankatò ny fitsipiky ny lalàna ny tsy voafora, tsy hatao ho isan'ny voafora va izy, na dia tsy voafora aza?

²⁷and uncircumcision by nature, fulfilling the law, judge thee, who, with letter and circumcision, [art] a law-transgressor?

²⁷Ary tsy hohelohin'ny tsy mifora izay mankatò ny lalàna va ianao, izay mpandika ny lalàna, na dia manana ny soratra sy ny famorana aza ianao?

²⁸For he is not a Jew who [is] one outwardly, neither that circumcision which is outward in flesh;

²⁸Fa tsy izay araka ny miseho no Jiosy, ary tsy izay miseho eo amin'ny nofo no famorana;fa izay araka ny miafina no Jiosy, ary ny famorana dia amin'ny fo, amin'ny fanahy, fa tsy amin'ny soratra; ny fiderana ireny tsy avy amin'ny olona, fa avy amin'Andriamanitra.

²⁹but he [is] a Jew [who is so] inwardly; and circumcision, of the heart, in spirit, not in letter; whose praise [is] not of men, but of God.

²⁹fa izay araka ny miafina no Jiosy, ary ny famorana dia amin'ny fo, amin'ny fanahy, fa tsy amin'ny soratra; ny fiderana ireny tsy avy amin'ny olona, fa avy amin'Andriamanitra.
