¹Ary nony afaka efatra ambin'ny folo taona, dia niakatra tany Jerosalema indray izaho sy Barnabasy, ary Titosy dia nentiko niaraka tamiko koa.

¹Then, after fourteen years again I went up to Jerusalem with Barnabas, having taken with me also Titus;

²Ary niakatra araka ny fanambarana aho, ka nambarako taminy ny filazantsara izay toriko any amin'ny jentilisa, nefa nangingina ihany tamin'izay manan-daza, fandrao ho mihazakazaka foana aho, na efa nihazakazaka foana.

²and I went up by revelation, and did submit to them the good news that I preach among the nations, and privately to those esteemed, lest in vain I might run or did run;

³Kanefa na dia Titosy izay niaraka tamiko aza, dia tsy mba noterena hoforana, na dia Grika aza izy,

³but not even Titus, who [is] with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised —

⁴dia noho ny rahalahy sandoka nampidirina misokosoko, izay niditra mangingina hisafo ny fahafahantsika, izay ananantsika ao amin'i Kristy Jesosy, mba hanandevozany antsika;

⁴and [that] because of the false brethren brought in unawares, who did come in privily to spy out our liberty that we have in Christ Jesus, that us they might bring under bondage,

⁵fa tsy nety nikoy ireo izahay na dia ora iray monja aza, mba hitoeran'ny fahamarinan'ny filazantsara aminareo.

⁵to whom not even for an hour we gave place by subjection, that the truth of the good news might remain to you.

⁶Fa ny amin'ny olona atao ho manan-daza (na nanao ahoana na nanao ahoana izy dia tsy mampaninona ahy; Andriamanitra tsy mizaha tavan'olona), izaho tsy nomen'ireo manan-daza ireo saina na tamin'inona na tamin'inona.

⁶And from those who were esteemed to be something — whatever they were then, it maketh no difference to me — the face of man God accepteth not, for — to me those esteemed did add nothing,

⁷Fa hafa kosa no nataony, fa nony hitany fa notolorana ny filazantsara ho adidiko ho an'ny tsy voafora aho, tahaka an'i Petera ho an'ny voafora

⁷but, on the contrary, having seen that I have been entrusted with the good news of the uncircumcision, as Peter with [that] of the circumcision,

⁸(fa Izay niasa ho an'i Petera hah'Apostoly azy ho an'ny voafora no niasa ho ahy koa ho an'ny jentilisa),

⁸for He who did work with Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, did work also in me in regard to the nations,

⁹ary nony fantatr'i Jakoba sy Kefasy ary Jaona, izay natao ho andry, ny fahasoavana nomena ahy, dia notolorany ny tanana ankavanan'ny fihavanana izaho sy Barnabasy, mba hankany amin'ny jentilisa izahay, fa izy kosa ho any amin'ny voafora.

⁹and having known the grace that was given to me, James, and Cephas, and John, who were esteemed to be pillars, a right hand of fellowship they did give to me, and to Barnabas, that we to the nations, and they to the circumcision [may go],

¹⁰Izao ihany no tiany, dia ny mba hahatsiarovanay ny malahelo, sady nahazoto ahy indrindra rahateo ny hanao izany.

¹⁰only, of the poor that we should be mindful, which also I was diligent — this very thing — to do.

¹¹Ary nony tonga tany Antiokia Kefasy, dia nanohitra azy nifanatrika aho, satria hita fa nanan-tsiny izy.

¹¹And when Peter came to Antioch, to the face I stood up against him, because he was blameworthy,

¹²Fa fony tsy mbola tonga ny sasany any tany amin'i Jakoba, dia niara-nihinana tamin'ny jentilisa ihany izy; fa nony tonga ireo, dia nihatakataka izy ka niala, satria natahotra ny momba ny famorana izy.

¹²for before the coming of certain from James, with the nations he was eating, and when they came, he was withdrawing and separating himself, fearing those of the circumcision,

¹³Ary ny Jiosy sasany koa niara-nihatsaravelatsihy taminy, ka Barnabasy avy aza mba voataonan'ny fihatsaram-belatsihiny koa.

¹³and dissemble with him also did the other Jews, so that also Barnabas was carried away by their dissimulation.

¹⁴Fa rehefa hitako fa tsy nandeha mahitsy araka ny fahamarinan'ny filazantsara ireo, dia hoy izaho tamin'i Kefasy teo anatrehan'ny olona rehetra : Raha ianao izay tena Jiosy aza no manao tahaka ny fanaon'ny jentilisa, fa tsy tahaka ny fanaon'ny Jiosy, nahoana ny jentilisa no terenao hanao tahaka ny fanaon'ny Jiosy?

¹⁴But when I saw that they are not walking uprightly to the truth of the good news, I said to Peter before all, `If thou, being a Jew, in the manner of the nations dost live, and not in the manner of the Jews, how the nations dost thou compel to Judaize?

¹⁵Taranaky ny Jiosy isika, fa tsy mba mpanota avy amin'ny jentilisa,

¹⁵we by nature Jews, and not sinners of the nations,

¹⁶nefa nony fantatsika fa tsy hamarinina amin'ny asan'ny lalàna ny olona, fa amin'ny finoana an'i Jesosy Kristy, dia nino an'i Kristy Jesosy koa isika mba hohamarinina amin'ny finoana an'i Kristy, fa tsy amin'ny asan'ny lalàna, satria tsy misy nofo hohamarinina amin'ny asan'ny lalàna.

¹⁶having known also that a man is not declared righteous by works of law, if not through the faith of Jesus Christ, also we in Christ Jesus did believe, that we might be declared righteous by the faith of Christ, and not by works of law, wherefore declared righteous by works of law shall be no flesh.`

¹⁷Fa raha mitady hohamarinina ao amin'i Kristy isika, nefa ny tenantsika no hita fa mpanota, moa mpanompo ny ota va Kristy? Sanatria izany!

¹⁷And if, seeking to be declared righteous in Christ, we ourselves also were found sinners, [is] then Christ a ministrant of sin? let it not be!

¹⁸Fa raha ny zavatra efa noravako no atsangako indray, dia mampiseho ny tenako fa diso aho.

¹⁸for if the things I threw down, these again I build up, a transgressor I set myself forth;

¹⁹Fa raha izaho, dia tamin'ny lalàna no nahafatesako ny amin'ny lalàna, mba ho velona ho an'Andriamanitra aho.

¹⁹for I through law, did die, that to God I may live;

²⁰Voahombo miaraka amin'i Kristy amin'ny hazo fijaliana aho, ary tsy izaho intsony no velona, fa Kristy no velona ato anatiko; fa izay ivelomako ankehitriny eo amin'ny nofo dia ivelomako amin'ny finoana ny Zanak'Andriamanitra, Izay efa tia ahy ka nanolotra ny tenany hamonjy ahy.Tsy mahafoana ny fahasoavan'Andriamanitra aho; fa raha avy amin'ny lalàna ny fahamarinana, dia maty foana Kristy.

²⁰with Christ I have been crucified, and live no more do I, and Christ doth live in me; and that which I now live in the flesh — in the faith I live of the Son of God, who did love me and did give himself for me;

²¹Tsy mahafoana ny fahasoavan'Andriamanitra aho; fa raha avy amin'ny lalàna ny fahamarinana, dia maty foana Kristy.

²¹I do not make void the grace of God, for if righteousness [be] through law — then Christ died in vain.
