¹[Ny fitondran-tena mahamendrika ny Kristiana] Koa amin'izany mangataka aminareo aho, ry rahalahy, noho ny famindram-pon'Andriamanitra, mba hatolotrareo ny tenanareo ho fanatitra velona, masina, sitrak'Andriamanitra, dia fanompoam-panahy mety hataonareo izany. [ Na: fanompoam-pivavahana]

¹I call upon you, therefore, brethren, through the compassions of God, to present your bodies a sacrifice — living, sanctified, acceptable to God — your intelligent service;

²Ary aza manaraka ny fanaon'izao tontolo izao; fa miovà amin'ny fanavaozana ny saina, hamantaranareo ny sitrapon'Andriamanitra, dia izay tsara sady ankasitrahana no marina. [ Gr. tanteraka].

²and be not conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, for your proving what [is] the will of God — the good, and acceptable, and perfect.

³Fa noho ny fahasoavana nomena ahy dia izao no lazaiko amin'ny olona rehetra izay eo aminareo: Aza mihevitra mihoatra noho izay tokony hoheverina; fa mihevera izay onony araka ny ohatry ny finoana izay nozarain'Andriamanitra ho anareo avy.

³For I say, through the grace that was given to me, to every one who is among you, not to think above what it behoveth to think; but to think so as to think wisely, as to each God did deal a measure of faith,

⁴Fa toy ny ananantsika zavatra maro momba ny tena iray, nefa tsy mitovy asa izay rehetra momba ny tena,

⁴for as in one body we have many members, and all the members have not the same office,

⁵dia toy izany koa isika, na dia maro aza, dia tena iray ihany ao amin'i Kristy, ary samy miara-momba ny tena isika rehetra.

⁵so we, the many, one body are in Christ, and members each one of one another.

⁶Ary satria samy manana fanomezam-pahasoavana samy hafa isika, araka ny fahasoavana izay nomena antsika: raha faminaniana, dia aoka hatao araka ny ohatry ny finoana;

⁶And having gifts, different according to the grace that was given to us; whether prophecy — `According to the proportion of faith!`

⁷raha fanompoana amin'ny fiangonana, dia aoka ho amin'ny fanompoana; raha mampianatra, dia aoka ho amin'ny fampianarana;

⁷or ministration — `In the ministration!` or he who is teaching — `In the teaching!`

⁸raha mananatra, dia aoka ho amin'ny fananarana; izay manome, dia aoka ho amin'ny fahatsoram-po; izay manapaka, dia aoka ho amin'ny fahazotoana; izay mamindra fo, dia aoka ho amin'ny fifaliana.

⁸or he who is exhorting — `In the exhortation!` he who is sharing — `In simplicity!` he who is leading — `In diligence?` he who is doing kindness — `In cheerfulness.`

⁹Aoka ny fitiavana ho amin'ny tsi-fihatsaram-belatsihy; mankahalà ny ratsy; mifikira amin'ny tsara.

⁹The love unfeigned: abhorring the evil; cleaving to the good;

¹⁰Mifankatiava araka ny fifankatiavan'ny mpirahalahy; mitariha lalana amin'ny fifanomezam-boninahitra.

¹⁰in the love of brethren, to one another kindly affectioned: in the honour going before one another;

¹¹Mazotoa, fa aza malaina, ary aoka hafana fo amin'ny fanompoana ny Tompo.

¹¹in the diligence not slothful; in the spirit fervent; the Lord serving;

¹²Mifalia amin'ny fanantenana; miareta amin'ny fahoriana; mahareta amin'ny fivavahana.

¹²in the hope rejoicing; in the tribulation enduring; in the prayer persevering;

¹³Miantrà ny olona masina araka izay ilainy; mazotoa mampiantrano vahiny.

¹³to the necessities of the saints communicating; the hospitality pursuing.

¹⁴Misaora izay manenjika anareo; misaora, fa aza manozona.

¹⁴Bless those persecuting you; bless, and curse not;

¹⁵Miaraha mifaly amin'izay mifaly, ary miaraha mitomany amin'izay mitomany.

¹⁵to rejoice with the rejoicing, and to weep with the weeping,

¹⁶Miraisa saina. Aza mihevitra izay hiavonavonana, fa aoka mba ho zatra amin'ny fietrena ianareo. Aza manao ny tenanareo ho hendry. [ Na: manetre tena amin'ny malahelo]

¹⁶of the same mind one toward another, not minding the high things, but with the lowly going along; become not wise in your own conceit;

¹⁷Aza mamaly ratsy na amin'iza na amin'iza. Miomàna hanao izay mahamendrika eo imason'ny olona rehetra.

¹⁷giving back to no one evil for evil; providing right things before all men.

¹⁸Raha azo atao, dia ataovy izay hihavananareo amin'ny olona rehetra.

¹⁸If possible — so far as in you — with all men being in peace;

¹⁹Ry malala, aza mamaly ratsy, fa omeo lalana ny fahatezerana; fa voasoratra hoe: Ahy ny famaliana; Izaho no hamaly, hoy Jehovah (Deo. 32. 35).

¹⁹not avenging yourselves, beloved, but give place to the wrath, for it hath been written, `Vengeance [is] Mine,

²⁰Fa raha noana ny fahavalonao, omeo hanina izy; raha mangetaheta izy, omeo hosotroiny; fa raha manao izany ianao, dia hanambatra vainafo ho eo an-dohany (Oha. 25. 21, 22).Aza mety ho resin'ny ratsy ianao, fa reseo amin'ny soa ny ratsy.

²⁰I will recompense again, saith the Lord;` if, then, thine enemy doth hunger, feed him; if he doth thirst, give him drink; for this doing, coals of fire thou shalt heap upon his head;

²¹Aza mety ho resin'ny ratsy ianao, fa reseo amin'ny soa ny ratsy.

²¹Be not overcome by the evil, but overcome, in the good, the evil.
