¹Therefore you are without excuse, O man, whoever you are who judge. For in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself. For you who judge practice the same things.

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]

²We know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who practice such things.

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

³Do you think this, O man who judges those who practice such things, and do the same, that you will escape the judgment of God?

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]

⁴Or do you despise the riches of his goodness, forbearance, and patience, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?

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?

⁵But according to your hardness and unrepentant heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath, revelation, and of the righteous judgment of God;

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

⁶who “will pay back to everyone according to their works:” Psalm 62:12; Proverbs 24:12

⁶Izay hamaly ny olona rehetra araka ny asany avy:

⁷to those who by patience in well-doing seek for glory, honor, and incorruptibility, eternal life;

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

⁸but to those who are self-seeking, and don’t obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, will be wrath and indignation,

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,

⁹oppression and anguish, on every soul of man who works evil, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

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

¹⁰But glory, honor, and peace go to every man who works good, to the Jew first, and also to the 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]

¹¹For there is no partiality with God.

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

¹²For as many as have sinned without law will also perish without the law. As many as have sinned under the law will be judged by the law.

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.

¹³For it isn’t the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law will be justified

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

¹⁴(for when Gentiles who don’t have the law do by nature the things of the law, these, not having the law, are a law to themselves,

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;

¹⁵in that they show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience testifying with them, and their thoughts among themselves accusing or else excusing them)

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,-

¹⁶in the day when God will judge the secrets of men, according to my Good News, by Jesus Christ.

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

¹⁷Indeed you bear the name of a Jew, and rest on the law, and glory in God,

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

¹⁸and know his will, and approve the things that are excellent, being instructed out of the law,

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

¹⁹and are confident that you yourself are a guide of the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,

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

²⁰a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of babies, having in the law the form of knowledge and of the truth.

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

²¹You therefore who teach another, don’t you teach yourself? You who preach that a man shouldn’t steal, do you steal?

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?

²²You who say a man shouldn’t commit adultery. Do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?

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

²³You who glory in the law, through your disobedience of the law do you dishonor God?

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

²⁴For “the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you,” Isaiah 52:5; Ezekiel 36:22 just as it is written.

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]

²⁵For circumcision indeed profits, if you are a doer of the law, but if you are a transgressor of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.

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.

²⁶If therefore the uncircumcised keep the ordinances of the law, won’t his uncircumcision be accounted as circumcision?

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

²⁷Won’t the uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfills the law, judge you, who with the letter and circumcision are a transgressor of the law?

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?

²⁸For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, neither is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh;

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.

²⁹but he is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit not in the letter; whose praise is not from men, but from God.

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.
