¹Stand firm therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and don’t be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.

¹Ho amin'ny fahafahana no nanafahan'i Kristy antsika; ka tomoera tsara, fa aza mety hohazonin'ny zioga fanandevozana intsony.

²Behold, I, Paul, tell you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will profit you nothing.

²[Famporisihana ny Galatiana tsy hahavery ny fahafahany, fa hazoto handroso amin'ny fitondran-tena tsara] Indro, izaho Paoly milaza aminareo fa raha mety hoforana ianareo, dia tsy hahasoa anareo na dia kely akory aza Kristy.

³Yes, I testify again to every man who receives circumcision, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.

³Ary lazaiko marina indray amin'ny olona manaiky hoforana rehetra fa mpitrosa tsy maintsy mankatò ny lalàna rehetra izy.

⁴You are alienated from Christ, you who desire to be justified by the law. You have fallen away from grace.

⁴Dia tafasaraka amin'i Kristy ianareo na iza na iza izay mitady hohamarinina amin'ny lalàna; efa lavo niala tamin'ny fahasoavana ianareo.

⁵For we, through the Spirit, by faith wait for the hope of righteousness.

⁵Fa izahay amin'ny Fanahy sy noho ny finoana dia miandry ny fanantenana ny fahamarinana. [ Na: fanantenan']

⁶For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision amounts to anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith working through love.

⁶Fa ao amin'i Kristy Jesosy dia tsy mahasoa na ny famorana na ny tsi-famorana, fa ny finoana izay miasa amin'ny fitiavana.

⁷You were running well! Who interfered with you that you should not obey the truth?

⁷Hianareo nihazakazaka tsara, iza no nisakana anareo tsy hanaiky ny marina?

⁸This persuasion is not from him who calls you.

⁸Izany fitaomana izany dia tsy avy tamin'ilay miantso anareo.

⁹A little yeast grows through the whole lump.

⁹Ny masirasira kely dia mahatonga ny vongana rehetra ho masirasira avokoa.

¹⁰I have confidence toward you in the Lord that you will think no other way. But he who troubles you will bear his judgment, whoever he is.

¹⁰Izaho matoky anareo ao amin'ny Tompo fa tsy hisaina zavatra hafa akory ianareo; fa ilay mampitabataba anareo no hiharan'ny fanamelohana, na zovy na zovy izy.

¹¹But I, brothers, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? Then the stumbling block of the cross has been removed.

¹¹Fa izaho, ry rahalahy, raha mbola mitory ny famorana ihany, nahoana aho no mbola enjehina? Dia afaka tokoa ny fahatafintohinana noho ny hazo fijaliana.

¹²I wish that those who disturb you would cut themselves off.

¹²Enga anie ka hiesotra aza izay mampitabataba anareo. [ Na: hanakilema tena]

¹³For you, brothers, were called for freedom. Only don’t use your freedom for gain to the flesh, but through love be servants to one another.

¹³Fa efa nantsoina ho amin'ny fahafahana ianareo, ry rahalahy; kanefa aoka tsy ho entinareo hanaraka ny nofo izany fahafahana izany, fa mifampanompoa amin'ny fitiavana.

¹⁴For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Leviticus 19:18

¹⁴Fa tanteraka amin'ny teny iray ihany ny lalàna rehetra, dia izao: Tiava ny namanao tahaka ny tenanao (Lev. 19. 18).

¹⁵But if you bite and devour one another, be careful that you don’t consume one another.

¹⁵Fa raha mifandramatra sy mifampihinana ianareo, tandremo fandrao mifandringana.

¹⁶But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won’t fulfill the lust of the flesh.

¹⁶Fa hoy izaho: Mandehana araka ny Fanahy, dia tsy hahatanteraka ny filan'ny nofo ianareo.

¹⁷For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, that you may not do the things that you desire.

¹⁷Fa ny nofo manohitra ny Fanahy, ary ny Fanahy manohitra ny nofo; ary mifanohitra izy roroa, mba tsy hahazoanaroeo manao izay zavatra tianareo.

¹⁸But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

¹⁸Fa raha tarihin'ny Fanahy ianareo, dia tsy mba ambanin'ny lalàna.

¹⁹Now the works of the flesh are obvious, which are: adultery, sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustfulness,

¹⁹Fa miharihary ny asan'ny nofo, dia izao: Fijangajangana, fahalotoana, fijejojejoana,

²⁰idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousies, outbursts of anger, rivalries, divisions, heresies,

²⁰fanompoan-tsampy, fanaovana ody ratsy, fandrafiana, fifandirana, adi-lahy, fiafonafonana, fifampiandaniana, fisarahana, fitokoana,

²¹envyings, murders, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these; of which I forewarn you, even as I also forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the Kingdom of God.

²¹fialonana, fahamamoana, filalaovan-dratsy, ary ny toy izany, izay lazaiko aminareo rahateo, tahaka ny voalazako fahiny koa, fa izay manao izany dia tsy handova ny fanjakan'Andriamanitra.

²²But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, or, faithfulness

²²Fa ny vokatry ny Fanahy kosa dia fitiavana, fifaliana, fiadanana, fahari-po fahamoram-panahy, fanaovan-tsoa, fahamarinana,

²³gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

²³fahalemem-panahy, fahononam-po; tsy misy lalàna manohitra izany.

²⁴Those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts.

²⁴Fa izay an'Kristy Jesosy dia efa nanombo ny nofony mbamin'ny faniriany sy ny filany tamin'ny hazo fijaliana.

²⁵If we live by the Spirit, let’s also walk by the Spirit.

²⁵Raha velon'ny Fanahy isika, dia aoka handeha araka ny Fanahy.Aoka isika tsy handrani-tena foana ka hifampihaika sy hifampialona.

²⁶Let’s not become conceited, provoking one another, and envying one another.

²⁶Aoka isika tsy handrani-tena foana ka hifampihaika sy hifampialona.
