¹[Ny amin'ny tsi-fahamarinan'ny Jiosy sy ny tsy ahazoany fahamarinana avy amin'ny lalàna] Koa amin'izany dia tsy manan-kalahatra ianao, ralehilahy, na zovy na zovy ianao izay mitsara; fa izay itsaranao ny sasany no anamelohanao ny tenanao koa, fa ianao izay mitsara aza dia mba manao izany ihany koa. [ Gr. olona]

¹Therefore, thou art inexcusable, O man — every one who is judging — for in that in which thou dost judge the other, thyself thou dost condemn, for the same things thou dost practise who art judging,

²Nefa fantatsika fa ny fitsaran'Andriamanitra dia araka ny marina amin'izay manao toy izany.

²and we have known that the judgment of God is according to truth, upon those practising such things.

³Ary ianao, ralehilahy, izay mitsara ny manao izany, kanefa manao izany koa ny tenanao, moa ataonao va fa ho afa-mandositra ny fitsaran'Andriamanitra ianao? [ Gr. olona]

³And dost thou think this, O man, who art judging those who such things are practising, and art doing them, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?

⁴Sa hamavoinao ny haren'ny fahamoram-panahiny sy ny fandeferany ary ny fahari-pony, satria tsy fantatrao fa ny fahamoram-panahin'Andriamanitra dia mitaona anao hibebaka?

⁴or the riches of His goodness, and forbearance, and long-suffering, dost thou despise? — not knowing that the goodness of God doth lead thee to reformation!

⁵Fa ny ditranao sy ny fonao tsy mibebaka no irakatenao fahatezerana ho anao amin'ny andro fahatezerana sy fampisehoana ny fitsarana marin'Andriamanitra,

⁵but, according to thy hardness and impenitent heart, thou dost treasure up to thyself wrath, in a day of wrath and of the revelation of the righteous judgment of God,

⁶Izay hamaly ny olona rehetra araka ny asany avy:

⁶who shall render to each according to his works;

⁷ho an'izay maharitra manao soa mandrakariva ka mitady voninahitra sy laza ary tsi-fahafatesana, dia fiainana mandrakizay;

⁷to those, indeed, who in continuance of a good work, do seek glory, and honour, and incorruptibility — life age-during;

⁸fa ho an'izay mitady ny ho an'ny tenany ihany kosa sady tsy manaraka ny marina, fa manaraka ny tsy marina, dia fahavinirana sy fahatezerana,

⁸and to those contentious, and disobedient, indeed, to the truth, and obeying the unrighteousness — indignation and wrath,

⁹eny, fahoriana sy fahantrana ho an'ny fanahin'ny olona rehetra izay manao ratsy, amin'ny Jiosy aloha, dia vao amin'ny jentilisa koa;

⁹tribulation and distress, upon every soul of man that is working the evil, both of Jew first, and of Greek;

¹⁰fa voninahitra sy laza ary fiadanana kosa ho an'ny olona rehetra izay manao ny tsara, amin'ny Jiosy aloha, dia vao amin'ny jentilisa koa. [ Gr. Grika]

¹⁰and glory, and honour, and peace, to every one who is working the good, both to Jew first, and to Greek.

¹¹Fa tsy misy fizahan-tavan'olona amin'Andriamanitra.

¹¹For there is no acceptance of faces with God,

¹²Fa izay nanota tsy nanana ny lalàna dia ho very tsy manana ny lalàna; fa izay nanota nanana ny lalàna kosa dia hotsaraina araka ny lalàna.

¹²for as many as without law did sin, without law also shall perish, and as many as did sin in law, through law shall be judged,

¹³Fa tsy ny mpandre ny lalàna no marina eo anatrehan'Andriamanitra, fa ny mpankatò ny lalàna no hohamarinina;

¹³for not the hearers of the law [are] righteous before God, but the doers of the law shall be declared righteous: —

¹⁴fa na oviana na oviana ireo jentilisa tsy manana ny lalàna ireo no misy manao izay nandidian'ny lalàna araka ny nahim-pony, na dia tsy manana ny lalàna aza ireo, dia lalàn-tenany ihany;

¹⁴For, when nations that have not a law, by nature may do the things of the law, these not having a law — to themselves are a law;

¹⁵fa ireo maneho ny asan'ny lalàna ho voasoratra ao am-pony, sady ny fieritreretany no vavolombelony, ary ny fisainany mifampiampanga, nefa mba mifanafaka ihany koa aza,-

¹⁵who do shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also witnessing with them, and between one another the thoughts accusing or else defending,

¹⁶amin'ny andro izay hitsaran'Andriamanitra ny zavatra takona ataon'ny olona, araka ny filazantsarako amin'ny alalan'i Jesosy Kristy.

¹⁶in the day when God shall judge the secrets of men, according to my good news, through Jesus Christ.

¹⁷Fa raha saingy atao hoe Jiosy ianao ka mitoky amin'ny lalàna sy manao an'Andriamanitra ho reharehanao

¹⁷Lo, thou art named a Jew, and dost rest upon the law, and dost boast in God,

¹⁸ary mahalala ny sitrapony sady mamantatra ny zavatra tsara indrindra, satria efa nampianarina ny lalàna ianao [ Na: samy hafa]

¹⁸and dost know the will, and dost approve the distinctions, being instructed out of the law,

¹⁹ary matoky ny tenanao ho mpitarika ny jamba, fanazavana ny ao amin'ny maizina,

¹⁹and hast confidence that thou thyself art a leader of blind ones, a light of those in darkness,

²⁰mpananatra ny adala, mpampianatra ny bodo, satria ianao manana ny lalàna ho mariky ny fahalalana sy ny fahamarinana:

²⁰an instructor of foolish ones, a teacher of babes, having the form of the knowledge and of the truth in the law.

²¹ka moa ianao izay mampianatra ny sasany, tsy mba mampianatra ny tenanao koa va? Hianao izay mitory hoe: Aza mangalatra, mba mangalatra ihany va ianao?

²¹Thou, then, who art teaching another, thyself dost thou not teach?

²²Hianao izay manao hoe: Aza mijangajanga, mba mijangajanga ihany va ianao? Hianao izay mametaveta ny sampy, mba mandroba tempoly ihany va ianao?

²²thou who art preaching not to steal, dost thou steal? thou who art saying not to commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou who art abhorring the idols, dost thou rob temples?

²³Hianao izay manao ny lalàna ho reharehanao, mba manala voninahitra an'Andriamanitra ihany va ianao amin'ny andikanao ny lalàna?

²³thou who in the law dost boast, through the transgression of the law God dost thou dishonour?

²⁴Fa araka ny voasoratra, dia ianareo no itenenana ratsy ny anaran'Andriamanitra any amin'ny jentilisa (Isa. 52. 5). [Gr. anaovana blasfemia; izahao Mat. 9, 3]

²⁴for the name of God because of you is evil spoken of among the nations, according as it hath been written.

²⁵Fa ny famorana mahasoa tokoa, raha mankatò ny lalàna ianao; fa raha mpandika ny lalàna kosa ianao, dia efa tonga toy ny tsy voafora, na dia efa voafora aza.

²⁵For circumcision, indeed, doth profit, if law thou mayest practise, but if a transgressor of law thou mayest be, thy circumcision hath become uncircumcision.

²⁶Ary raha mankatò ny fitsipiky ny lalàna ny tsy voafora, tsy hatao ho isan'ny voafora va izy, na dia tsy voafora aza?

²⁶If, therefore the uncircumcision the righteousness of the law may keep, shall not his uncircumcision for circumcision be reckoned?

²⁷Ary tsy hohelohin'ny tsy mifora izay mankatò ny lalàna va ianao, izay mpandika ny lalàna, na dia manana ny soratra sy ny famorana aza ianao?

²⁷and the uncircumcision, by nature, fulfilling the law, shall judge thee who, through letter and circumcision, [art] a transgressor of law.

²⁸Fa tsy izay araka ny miseho no Jiosy, ary tsy izay miseho eo amin'ny nofo no famorana;fa izay araka ny miafina no Jiosy, ary ny famorana dia amin'ny fo, amin'ny fanahy, fa tsy amin'ny soratra; ny fiderana ireny tsy avy amin'ny olona, fa avy amin'Andriamanitra.

²⁸For he is not a Jew who is [so] outwardly, neither [is] circumcision that which is outward in flesh;

²⁹fa izay araka ny miafina no Jiosy, ary ny famorana dia amin'ny fo, amin'ny fanahy, fa tsy amin'ny soratra; ny fiderana ireny tsy avy amin'ny olona, fa avy amin'Andriamanitra.

²⁹but a Jew [is] he who is [so] inwardly, and circumcision [is] of the heart, in spirit, not in letter, of which the praise is not of men, but of God.
