¹Then after a period of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with me.

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

²I went up by revelation, and I laid before them the Good News which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately before those who were respected, for fear that I might be running, or had run, in vain.

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.

³But not even Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised.

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

⁴This was because of the false brothers secretly brought in, who stole in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage;

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

⁵to whom we gave no place in the way of subjection, not for an hour, that the truth of the Good News might continue with you.

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

⁶But from those who were reputed to be important (whatever they were, it makes no difference to me; God doesn’t show partiality to man)—they, I say, who were respected imparted nothing to me,

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.

⁷but to the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the Good News for the uncircumcision, even as Peter with the Good News for the circumcision

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

⁸(for he who appointed Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision appointed me also to the Gentiles);

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

⁹and when they perceived the grace that was given to me, James and Cephas and John, they who were reputed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcision.

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.

¹⁰They only asked us to remember the poor—which very thing I was also zealous to do.

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

¹¹But when Peter came to Antioch, I resisted him to his face, because he stood condemned.

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

¹²For before some people came from James, he ate with the Gentiles. But when they came, he drew back and separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision.

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.

¹³And the rest of the Jews joined him in his hypocrisy; so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.

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

¹⁴But when I saw that they didn’t walk uprightly according to the truth of the Good News, I said to Peter before them all, “If you, being a Jew, live as the Gentiles do, and not as the Jews do, why do you compel the Gentiles to live as the Jews do?

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?

¹⁵“We, being Jews by nature, and not Gentile sinners,

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

¹⁶yet knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, even we believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law, because no flesh will be justified by the works of the law.

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.

¹⁷But if, while we sought to be justified in Christ, we ourselves also were found sinners, is Christ a servant of sin? Certainly not!

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

¹⁸For if I build up again those things which I destroyed, I prove myself a law-breaker.

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

¹⁹For I, through the law, died to the law, that I might live to God.

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

²⁰I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I that live, but Christ living in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me.

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.

²¹I don’t make void the grace of God. For if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died for nothing!”

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