¹Koa amin'izany dia aoka hanahaka an'Andriamanitra ianareo tahaka ny zanaka malala;

¹Become, then, followers of God, as children beloved,

²ary mandehana amin'ny fitiavana, toy ny nitiavan'i Kristy anareo, dia ny nanolorany ny tenany ho fanatitra sy ho fanavotana amin'Andriamanitra, ho hanitra ankasitrahana, hamonjy antsika. [ Gr. fanatitra alatsa-drà]

²and walk in love, as also the Christ did love us, and did give himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for an odour of a sweet smell,

³Fa ny fijangajangana sy ny fahalotoana rehetra, na ny fieremana, dia aza avela hotononina eo aminareo akory aza, fa tsy mahamendrika ny olona masina izany,

³and whoredom, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as becometh saints;

⁴na fahavetavetana, na resaka fahadalana, na voso-dratsy, izay tsy tokony hatao, fa aleo misaotra.

⁴also filthiness, and foolish talking, or jesting, — the things not fit — but rather thanksgiving;

⁵Fa fantatrareo marimarina fa samy tsy manana lova eo amin'ny fanjakan'i Kristy sy Andriamanitra na ny mpijangajanga rehetra, na ny olom-betaveta, na ny olona mierina (mpanompo sampy izany).

⁵for this ye know, that every whoremonger, or unclean, or covetous person, who is an idolater, hath no inheritance in the reign of the Christ and God.

⁶Aza mety hofitahin'olona amin'ny teny foana ianareo; fa izany zavatra izany no mahatonga ny fahatezeran'Andriamanitra amin'ny zanaky ny tsi-fanarahana.

⁶Let no one deceive you with vain words, for because of these things cometh the anger of God upon the sons of the disobedience,

⁷Koa aza mety ho mpiombona aminy ianareo.

⁷become not, then, partakers with them,

⁸Fa maizina ianareo fahiny, fa efa mazava ao amin'ny Tompo kosa ankehitriny; mandehana tahaka ny zanaky ny mazava

⁸for ye were once darkness, and now light in the Lord; as children of light walk ye,

⁹(fa ny vokatry ny mazava dia ao amin'ny fahatsarana rehetra sy ny fahamarinana ary ny fahitsiana),

⁹for the fruit of the Spirit [is] in all goodness, and righteousness, and truth,

¹⁰mamantatra izay ankasitrahan'ny Tompo.

¹⁰proving what is well-pleasing to the Lord,

¹¹Ary aza miray amin'ny asan'ny maizina tsy mahavoka-tsoa, fa aleo mananatra izany.

¹¹and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of the darkness and rather even convict,

¹²Fa izay ataony ao amin'ny miafina, dia mahamenatra na dia ny milaza izany aza.

¹²for the things in secret done by them it is a shame even to speak of,

¹³Fa ny zavatra rehetra, raha anarina, dia asehon'ny mazava; fa na inona na inona aseho dia mazava.

¹³and all the things reproved by the light are manifested, for everything that is manifested is light;

¹⁴Koa izany no ilazany hoe: Mifohaza ianao izay matory, Ary mitsangàna amin'ny maty, Dia hampahazava anao Kristy.

¹⁴wherefore he saith, `Arouse thyself, thou who art sleeping, and arise out of the dead, and the Christ shall shine upon thee.`

¹⁵Koa tandremo tsara izay fandehanareo, mba tsy hitondranareo tena tahaka ny adala, fa tahaka ny hendry,

¹⁵See, then, how exactly ye walk, not as unwise, but as wise,

¹⁶ka hararaoty ny andro azo anaovan-tsoa, fa ratsy izao fiainana izao.

¹⁶redeeming the time, because the days are evil;

¹⁷Ary noho izany dia aza manao adaladala, fa aoka ho fantatrareo izay sitrapon'ny Tompo.

¹⁷because of this become not fools, but — understanding what [is] the will of the Lord,

¹⁸Ary aza ho mamon-divay ianareo, fa amin'izany dia misy fanaranam-po amin'ny ratsy, fa aoka hofenoina ny Fanahy,

¹⁸and be not drunk with wine, in which is dissoluteness, but be filled in the Spirit,

¹⁹ka mifampilazà amin'ny salamo sy ny fihirana ary ny tonon-kiram-panahy, dia mihira sy mikalo ao am-ponareo ho an'ny Tompo,

¹⁹speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord,

²⁰misaotra an'Andriamanitra Ray mandrakariva noho ny zavatra rehetra, amin'ny anaran'i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika,

²⁰giving thanks always for all things, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to the God and Father;

²¹sady mifanaiky amin'ny fahatahorana an'i Kristy,

²¹subjecting yourselves to one another in the fear of God.

²²Hianareo vehivavy, maneke ny vadinareo tahaka ny anekena ny Tompo.

²²The wives! to your own husbands subject yourselves, as to the Lord,

²³Fa ny lahy no lohan'ny vavy, dia tahaka an'i Kristy koa no Lohan'ny fiangonana; ary Izy no mpamonjy ny tena. [ Gr. eklesia]

²³because the husband is head of the wife, as also the Christ [is] head of the assembly, and he is saviour of the body,

²⁴Fa tahaka ny aneken'ny fiangonana an'i Kristy no haneken'ny vavy ny lahy koa amin'ny zavatra rehetra. [ Gr. eklesia]

²⁴but even as the assembly is subject to Christ, so also [are] the wives to their own husbands in everything.

²⁵Hianareo lehilahy, tiava ny vadinareo, dia tahaka ny nitiavan'i Kristy ny fiangonana ka nanolorany ny tenany hamonjy azy, [ Gr. eklesia]

²⁵The husbands! love your own wives, as also the Christ did love the assembly, and did give himself for it,

²⁶mba hahamasina azy amin'ny anadiovany azy amin'ny rano fanasana amin'ny teny;

²⁶that he might sanctify it, having cleansed [it] with the bathing of the water in the saying,

²⁷mba horaisiny ho an'ny tenany izany ho fiangonana malaza tsy misy pentimpentina, na fiketronana, na izay toy izany, fa mba ho masina sady tsy misy tsiny izy. [ Gr. hatolony] [ Gr. eklesia]

²⁷that he might present it to himself the assembly in glory, not having spot or wrinkle, or any of such things, but that it may be holy and unblemished;

²⁸Dia tahaka izany koa, ny lehilahy tokony ho tia ny vadiny tahaka ny tenany ihany. Izay tia ny vadiny dia tia ny tenany.

²⁸so ought the husbands to love their own wives as their own bodies: he who is loving his own wife — himself he doth love;

²⁹Fa tsy mba nisy olona tsy tia ny nofony, fa mamelona sy mitaiza azy, dia tahaka an'i Kristy amin'ny fiangonana; [ Gr. eklesia]

²⁹for no one ever his own flesh did hate, but doth nourish and cherish it, as also the Lord — the assembly,

³⁰fa momba ny tenany isika.

³⁰because members we are of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones;

³¹Ary noho izany ny lehilahy dia handao ny rainy sy ny reniny ka hiray amin'ny vadiny, ary dia ho nofo iray ihany izy roroa (Gen. 2. 24).

³¹`for this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife, and they shall be — the two — for one flesh;`

³²Zava-miafina lehibe izany; fa milaza ny amin'i Kristy sy ny fiangonana aho. [ Gr. eklesia]Na dia izany aza, samia tia ny vadiny tahaka ny tenany ianareo lehilahy rehetra, ary aoka kosa ny vavy hanaja ny lahy. [ Gr. hatahotra]

³²this secret is great, and I speak in regard to Christ and to the assembly;

³³Na dia izany aza, samia tia ny vadiny tahaka ny tenany ianareo lehilahy rehetra, ary aoka kosa ny vavy hanaja ny lahy. [ Gr. hatahotra]

³³but ye also, every one in particular — let each his own wife so love as himself, and the wife — that she may reverence the husband.
