¹[Fitarihan-teny] Paoly, mpanompon'i Jesosy Kristy, voantso ho Apostoly, voatokana ho amin'ny filazantsaran'Andriamanitra,

¹Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, a called apostle, having been separated to the good news of God —

²izay nampilazainy ny mpaminany rahateo teo amin'ny Soratra Masina, [ teo amin'izay soratra masina]

²which He announced before through His prophets in holy writings —

³ny amin'ny Zanany, Izay nateraka avy tamin'ny taranak'i Davida araka ny nofo,

³concerning His Son, (who is come of the seed of David according to the flesh,

⁴ary naseho tamin-kery ho Zanak'Andriamanitra araka ny fahamasinana tamin'ny fitsanganany tamin'ny maty, - dia Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika, [ Na: notendrena] [ Na: naseho ho Zanak'Andriamanitra mahery]

⁴who is marked out Son of God in power, according to the Spirit of sanctification, by the rising again from the dead,) Jesus Christ our Lord;

⁵Izay nandraisanay fahasoavana sy ny mah'Apostoly anay hahatonga fanekena ny finoana ho voninahitry ny anarany any amin'ny jentilisa rehetra;

⁵through whom we did receive grace and apostleship, for obedience of faith among all the nations, in behalf of his name;

⁶ary ianareo koa, izay isan'ireny, dia voantso ho an'i Jesosy Kristy, -

⁶among whom are also ye, the called of Jesus Christ;

⁷ho an'izay rehetra any Roma, malalan'Andriamanitra sady voantso ho masina; ho aminareo anie ny fahasoavana sy ny fiadanana avy amin'Andriamanitra Raintsika sy Jesosy Kristy Tompo.

⁷to all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called saints; Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father, and [from] the Lord Jesus Christ!

⁸Voalohany, misaotra an'Andriamanitro amin'ny alalan'i Jesosy Kristy aho noho ny aminareo rehetra, satria efa re eran'izao tontolo izao ny lazan'ny finoanareo.

⁸first, indeed, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is proclaimed in the whole world;

⁹Fa Andriamanitra, Izay tompoin'ny fanahiko amin'ny filazantsaran'ny Zanany, no vavolombeloko fa tsy mitsahatra mahatsiaro anareo aho, ka mandrakariva, raha mivavaka aho,

⁹for God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the good news of His Son, how unceasingly I make mention of you,

¹⁰dia mangataka fandrao mba hisy hahafahako amin'izao ho tonga aminareo, raha sitrapon'Andriamanitra.

¹⁰always in my prayers beseeching, if by any means now at length I shall have a prosperous journey, by the will of God, to come unto you,

¹¹Fa maniry hahita anareo aho hanomezako anareo fahasoavam-panahy ho anareo, mba hampaharezina ianareo,

¹¹for I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, that ye may be established;

¹²izany dia ny mba hiarahako hamporisihina aminareo amin'ny finoantsika, dia ny anareo sy ny ahy.

¹²and that is, that I may be comforted together among you, through the faith in one another, both yours and mine.

¹³Ary tsy tiako tsy ho fantatrareo, ry rahalahy, fa matetika aho no efa nikasa hankatỳ aminareo (saingy azon-tsampona mandraka ankehitriny aho), hananako izay vokatra atỳ aminareo koa, toy ny any amin'ny jentilisa sasany.

¹³And I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, that many times I did purpose to come unto you — and was hindered till the present time — that some fruit I might have also among you, even as also among the other nations.

¹⁴Ananan'ny Grika sy ny firenena hafa rehetra, ny hendry sy ny tsy hendry, trosa aho;

¹⁴Both to Greeks and to foreigners, both to wise and to thoughtless, I am a debtor,

¹⁵koa raha izaho, dia mazoto hitory ny filazantsara aminareo izay any Roma koa aho.

¹⁵so, as much as in me is, I am ready also to you who [are] in Rome to proclaim good news,

¹⁶Fa tsy menatra ny filazantsara aho; fa herin'Andriamanitra ho famonjena izay rehetra mino izany, amin'ny Jiosy aloha, dia vao amin'ny jentilisa koa. [ Gr. Grika]

¹⁶for I am not ashamed of the good news of the Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation to every one who is believing, both to Jew first, and to Greek.

¹⁷Fa amin'izany no anehoana fahamarinana avy amin'Andriamanitra avy amin'ny finoana sy ho amin'ny finoana, araka ny voasoratra hoe: Ny marina amin'ny finoana no ho velona (Hab. 2. 4). [Na: Ny marina ho velon'ny finoana]

¹⁷For the righteousness of God in it is revealed from faith to faith, according as it hath been written, `And the righteous one by faith shall live,`

¹⁸[Ny amin'ny faharatsian'ny toetry ny jentilisa sy ny mahameloka azy] Fa aseho avy any an-danitra ny fahatezeran'Andriamanitra amin'ny faharatsiana rehetra sy ny tsi-fahamarinan'ny olona izay misakana ny fahamarinana amin'ny fanaovan-dratsy,

¹⁸for revealed is the wrath of God from heaven upon all impiety and unrighteousness of men, holding down the truth in unrighteousness.

¹⁹satria izay fantatra ny amin'Andriamanitra dia miseho ao am-pon'ireny, fa nasehon'Andriamanitra taminy.

¹⁹Because that which is known of God is manifest among them, for God did manifest [it] to them,

²⁰Fa ny fombany tsy hita, dia ny heriny mandrakizay sy ny mah'Andriamanitra Azy, dia miseho hatramin'ny nanaovana izao tontolo izao, fa fantatra amin'ny zavatra nataony; ka dia tsy manan-kalahatra ireo; [ Na: Mba tsy hanan-kalahatra]

²⁰for the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world, by the things made being understood, are plainly seen, both His eternal power and Godhead — to their being inexcusable;

²¹fa na dia nahalala an'Andriamanitra aza izy, dia tsy mba nankalaza Azy toy izay miendrika ho an'Andriamanitra, na nisaotra Azy, fa tonga zava-poana izy tamin'ny fisainany, ary tonga maizina ny fony donto.

²¹because, having known God they did not glorify [Him] as God, nor gave thanks, but were made vain in their reasonings, and their unintelligent heart was darkened,

²²Nandoka tena ho hendry izy ka tonga adala,

²²professing to be wise, they were made fools,

²³koa ny voninahitr'Andriamanitra tsy mety lò dia nosoloany zavatra tahaka ny endriky ny olona mety lò sy ny vorona sy ny biby manan-tongotra efatra ary ny zavatra mandady sy mikisaka.

²³and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of fowls, and of quadrupeds, and of reptiles.

²⁴Ary izany no nanoloran'Andriamanitra azy tamin'ny filan'ny fony ho amin'ny fahalotoana, dia ny nifanalany voninahitra tamin'ny tenany avy;

²⁴Wherefore also God did give them up, in the desires of their hearts, to uncleanness, to dishonour their bodies among themselves;

²⁵ary ny fahamarinan'Andriamanitra dia nosoloany lainga, ka nanaja sy nanompo ny zavatra natao izy, fa tsy ny Mpanao, Izay isaorana mandrakizay. Amena.

²⁵who did change the truth of God into a falsehood, and did honour and serve the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed to the ages. Amen.

²⁶Izany no nanoloran'Andriamanitra azy ho amin'ny filan-dratsy mahavoafady; fa ny vehivavy tao aminy nanova ny fanaony ho amin'izay tsy fanaony;

²⁶Because of this did God give them up to dishonourable affections, for even their females did change the natural use into that against nature;

²⁷ary tahaka izany koa ny lehilahy, fa namela ny fanao amin'ny vehivavy izy ka maimay tamin'ny fifampilany samy lehilahy nifanao izay mahamenatra, dia nandray tao amin'ny tenany ny valiny izay tokony ho azy noho ny fiviliany.

²⁷and in like manner also the males having left the natural use of the female, did burn in their longing toward one another; males with males working shame, and the recompense of their error that was fit, in themselves receiving.

²⁸Ary araka ny nanaovany ny fahalalana marina an'Andriamanitra ho tsy miendrika hotanany, dia araka izany kosa no nanoloran'Andriamanitra azy ho amin'ny fisainana tsy mahamendrika hanao izay zavatra tsy tokony hatao,

²⁸And, according as they did not approve of having God in knowledge, God gave them up to a disapproved mind, to do the things not seemly;

²⁹ka dia feno ny tsi-fahamarinana rehetra, ny faharatsiana, ny fieremana, ny lolompo,- feno fialonana, vonoan-olona, fifandirana, fitaka, otri-po,-

²⁹having been filled with all unrighteousness, whoredom, wickedness, covetousness, malice; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil dispositions; whisperers,

³⁰mpibitsibitsika, mpanendrikendrika, halan'Andriamanitra, mpampahory, mpiavonavona, mpandoka tena, mpamoron-tsain-dratsy, tsy manoa ray sy reny, [ Na: mpankahala an'Andriamanitra]

³⁰evil-speakers, God-haters, insulting, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

³¹tsy manam-pahalalana, tsy mitana fanekena, tsy manam-pitiavana, tsy miantra;dia olona mahalala tsara ny fitsipika nomen'Andriamanitra fa izay manao izany zavatra izany no miendrika ho faty, nefa tsy manao izany ihany izy, fa mankasitraka ny manao koa.

³¹unintelligent, faithless, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful;

³²dia olona mahalala tsara ny fitsipika nomen'Andriamanitra fa izay manao izany zavatra izany no miendrika ho faty, nefa tsy manao izany ihany izy, fa mankasitraka ny manao koa.

³²who the righteous judgment of God having known — that those practising such things are worthy of death — not only do them, but also have delight with those practising them.
