¹[Fananarana hampahatanjaka ny sain'ny malemy finoana sy hampaharitra azy] Koa amin'izany, satria misy vavolombelona maro be toy izany manodidina antsika toy ny rahona, dia aoka isika koa hanaisotra izay rehetra mitambesatra amintsika mbamin'ny ota izay malaky mahazo antsika, ary aoka isika hihazakazaka amin'ny faharetana amin'izao fihazakazahana filokana napetraka eo anoloantsika izao,

¹Therefore, we also having so great a cloud of witnesses set around us, every weight having put off, and the closely besetting sin, through endurance may we run the contest that is set before us,

²mijery an'i Jesosy, Tompon'ny finoantsika sy Mpanefa azy, Izay naharitra ny hazo fijaliana, fa tsy nitandro henatra, mba hahazoany ny fifaliana napetraka teo anoloany, ka dia efa mipetraka eo amin'ny ankavanan'ny seza fiandrianan'Andriamanitra Izy.

²looking to the author and perfecter of faith — Jesus, who, over-against the joy set before him — did endure a cross, shame having despised, on the right hand also of the throne of God did sit down;

³Fa hevero tsara Ilay naharitra ny fanoherana nataon'ny mpanota taminy, fandrao ho ketraka ianareo, ka ho reraka ny fanahinareo. [ Na: ireo mpanota manimba tena]

³for consider again him who endured such gainsaying from the sinners to himself, that ye may not be wearied in your souls — being faint.

⁴Hianareo tsy mbola nanohitra niady tamin'ny ota hatramin'ny fahalatsahan-drà.

⁴Not yet unto blood did ye resist — with the sin striving;

⁵Ary hadinonareo ny fananarana izay milaza aminareo toy ny amin'ny zanaka hoe: "Anaka, aza atao ho zavatra kely ny famaizana ataon'i Jehovah, Ary aza reraka, raha resi-lahatry ny anatra ataony ianao;

⁵and ye have forgotten the exhortation that doth speak fully with you as with sons, `My son, be not despising chastening of the Lord, nor be faint, being reproved by Him,

⁶Fa izay tian'i Jehovah no faizany, Ary izay zanaka rehetra raisiny no kapohiny" (Oha. 3.11,12).

⁶for whom the Lord doth love He doth chasten, and He scourgeth every son whom He receiveth;`

⁷Famaizana no anton'ny iaretanareo; Andriamanitra mitondra anareo tahaka ny zanaka; fa aiza moa izay zanaka tsy faizan-drainy?

⁷if chastening ye endure, as to sons God beareth Himself to you, for who is a son whom a father doth not chasten?

⁸Fa raha tsy faizana tahaka ny itondrana azy rehetra ianareo, dia zazasary, fa tsy zanaka.

⁸and if ye are apart from chastening, of which all have become partakers, then bastards are ye, and not sons.

⁹Ary koa, isika dia nanana ny rain'ny nofontsika ho mpanafay antsika ka efa nanaja azy; tsy mainka va ny hanekentsika ny Rain'ny fanahy, ka ho velona isika?

⁹Then, indeed, fathers of our flesh we have had, chastising [us], and we were reverencing [them]; shall we not much rather be subject to the Father of the spirits, and live?

¹⁰Fa ireny dia nanao izay hahafay antsika tamin'ny andro vitsy araka izay sitrapony, fa Izy kosa dia ny hahasoa, mba handraisantsika ny fahamasinany.

¹⁰for they, indeed, for a few days, according to what seemed good to them, were chastening, but He for profit, to be partakers of His separation;

¹¹Fa ny famaizana rehetra dia tsy mba atao ho mahafaly andro anaovana, fa mampahory; fa rehefa afaka izany, dia vao mitondra ny vokatry ny fahamarinana hiadanana ho an'izay nanaovana azy izy.

¹¹and all chastening for the present, indeed, doth not seem to be of joy, but of sorrow, yet afterward the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those exercised through it — it doth yield.

¹²Koa hatanjaho ny tanana miraviravy sy ny lohalika malemy; [ Na: ahitsio]

¹²Wherefore, the hanging-down hands and the loosened knees set ye up;

¹³ary manaova lala-mahitsy halehan'ny tongotrareo, mba tsy hampipitsoka ny tongotry ny mandringa, fa ny mba hahasitrana azy kosa.

¹³and straight paths make for your feet, that that which is lame may not be turned aside, but rather be healed;

¹⁴Miezaha mitady fihavanana amin'ny olona rehetra ary fahamasinana; fa izay. tsy manam-pahamasinana dia tsy hahita ny Tompo.

¹⁴peace pursue with all, and the separation, apart from which no one shall see the Lord,

¹⁵Ary mitandrema tsara, fandrao hisy hiala amin'ny fahasoavan'Andriamanitra; fandrao hisy faka mangidy mitsimoka hampikorontana, ka ho voaloto ny maro;

¹⁵looking diligently over lest any one be failing of the grace of God, lest any root of bitterness springing up may give trouble, and through this many may be defiled;

¹⁶fandrao hisy mpijangajanga na olona tsy manaja ny masina, dia tahaka an'i Esao, izay nivarotra ny fizokiany hahazoany hanina indraim-bava.

¹⁶lest any one be a fornicator, or a profane person, as Esau, who in exchange for one morsel of food did sell his birthright,

¹⁷Fa fantatrareo fa rehefa afaka izany, raha ta-handova ny fitahiana izy, dia nolavina; fa tsy nahita izay hibebahana izy; na dia nitady fatratra tamin'ny ranomaso aza.

¹⁷for ye know that also afterwards, wishing to inherit the blessing, he was disapproved of, for a place of reformation he found not, though with tears having sought it.

¹⁸[Ny halehiben'ny fahasoavana azo amin'ny fanekena vaovao, sy ny halehiben'ny helok'izay mandà izany] Fa ianareo tsy mby eo amin'izay tendrombohitra azo tsapaina sady mirehitra afo, dia eo amin'ny fahamaintisana sy ny aizina na sy ny tafio-drivotra

¹⁸For ye came not near to the mount touched and scorched with fire, and to blackness, and darkness, and tempest,

¹⁹sy ny fanenon'ny trompetra ary ny feon'ny teny, ka izay nandre izany dia nangataka mba tsy hasian-teny intsony izy;

¹⁹and a sound of a trumpet, and a voice of sayings, which those having heard did entreat that a word might not be added to them,

²⁰fa tsy tohany ilay nandidiana hoe: "Ary raha misy biby aza mikasika ny tendrombohitra, dia hotoraham-bato izany" (Eks. 19. 12, 13),

²⁰for they were not bearing that which is commanded, `And if a beast may touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or with an arrow shot through,`

²¹ary satria loza indrindra ny fahitana, dia hoy Mosesy: "Matahotra loatra sy mangovitra indrindra aho" (Deo]. 9.19).

²¹and, (so terrible was the sight,) Moses said, `I am fearful exceedingly, and trembling.`

²²Fa ianareo kosa efa mby eo an-tendrombohitra Ziona, tanànan'Andriamanitra velona, dia Jerosalema any an-danitra, ary ho ao amin'ny anjely tsy omby alinalina,

²²But, ye came to Mount Zion, and to a city of the living God, to the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of messengers,

²³amin'ny fihaonana fifaliana sy ny fiangonan'ny lahimatoa voasoratra any an-danitra, sy amin'Andriamanitra, Mpitsara ny olona rehetra, ary amin'ny fanahin'ny olona marina izay efa natao tanteraka, [ Na: ho amin'ireo tsy omby alinalina, dia ny fivorian'ny anjely] [ Gr. eklesia]

²³to the company and assembly of the first-born in heaven enrolled, and to God the judge of all, and to spirits of righteous men made perfect,

²⁴sy amin'i Jesosy, Mpanalalana amin'ny fanekena vaovao, ary amin'ny rà famafazana, izay tsara lavitra noho ny an'i Abela.

²⁴and to a mediator of a new covenant — Jesus, and to blood of sprinkling, speaking better things than that of Abel!

²⁵Tandremo mba tsy holavinareo Izay miteny. Fa raha izy ireo tsy afa-nandositra tamin'ny nandavany ilay nilaza ny tenin'Andriamanitra taminy tetỳ ambonin'ny tany, mainka fa isika, raha mihodina miala amin'ilay avy any an-danitra,

²⁵See, may ye not refuse him who is speaking, for if those did not escape who refused him who upon earth was divinely speaking — much less we who do turn away from him who [speaketh] from heaven,

²⁶Izay nampihorohoro ny tany fahiny tamin'ny feony; fa ankehitriny Izy efa nanao teny fikasana hoe: "Indray maka koa tsy ny tany ihany no hampihorohoroiko, fa ny lanitra koa" (Hag. 2.6).

²⁶whose voice the earth shook then, and now hath he promised, saying, `Yet once — I shake not only the earth, but also the heaven;`

²⁷Ary ny hoe "indray maka koa" dia manambara ny hanovana izay zavatra ampihorohoroina, toy ny zavatra natao, mba haharetan'izay zavatra tsy ampihorohoroina.

²⁷and this — `Yet once` — doth make evident the removal of the things shaken, as of things having been made, that the things not shaken may remain;

²⁸Koa satria mandray fanjakana tsy azo ampihorohoroina isika, dia aoka isika hanana fahasoavana ho entintsika manao izay fanompoana sitrak'Andriamanitra amin'ny fanajana sy ny fahatahorana; [ Na: hanana fanahy misaotra]fa Andriamanitsika dia afo mandevona (Deo. 4.24).

²⁸wherefore, a kingdom that cannot be shaken receiving, may we have grace, through which we may serve God well-pleasingly, with reverence and religious fear;

²⁹fa Andriamanitsika dia afo mandevona (Deo. 4.24).

²⁹for also our God [is] a consuming fire.
