Romans 1

Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,

Paoly, mpanompon'i Jesosy Kristy, voantso ho Apostoly, voatokana ho amin'ny filazantsaran'Andriamanitra,

(Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,)

izay nampilazainy ny mpaminany rahateo teo amin'ny Soratra Masina,

Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;

ny amin'ny Zanany, Izay nateraka avy tamin'ny taranak'i Davida araka ny nofo,

And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:

ary naseho tamin-kery ho Zanak'Andriamanitra araka ny fahamasinana tamin'ny fitsanganany tamin'ny maty, - dia Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika,

By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:

Izay nandraisanay fahasoavana sy ny mah'Apostoly anay hahatonga fanekena ny finoana ho voninahitry ny anarany any amin'ny jentilisa rehetra;

Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:

ary ianareo koa, izay isan'ireny, dia voantso ho an'i Jesosy Kristy, -

To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

ho an'izay rehetra any Roma, malalan'Andriamanitra sady voantso ho masina; ho aminareo anie ny fahasoavana sy ny fiadanana avy amin'Andriamanitra Raintsika sy Jesosy Kristy Tompo.

First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.

Voalohany, misaotra an'Andriamanitro amin'ny alalan'i Jesosy Kristy aho noho ny aminareo rehetra, satria efa re eran'izao tontolo izao ny lazan'ny finoanareo.

For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers;

Fa Andriamanitra, Izay tompoin'ny fanahiko amin'ny filazantsaran'ny Zanany, no vavolombeloko fa tsy mitsahatra mahatsiaro anareo aho, ka mandrakariva, raha mivavaka aho,

Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you.

dia mangataka fandrao mba hisy hahafahako amin'izao ho tonga aminareo, raha sitrapon'Andriamanitra.

For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;

Fa maniry hahita anareo aho hanomezako anareo fahasoavam-panahy ho anareo, mba hampaharezina ianareo,

That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.

izany dia ny mba hiarahako hamporisihina aminareo amin'ny finoantsika, dia ny anareo sy ny ahy.

Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you, (but was let hitherto,) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.

Ary tsy tiako tsy ho fantatrareo, ry rahalahy, fa matetika aho no efa nikasa hankatỳ aminareo (saingy azon-tsampona mandraka ankehitriny aho), hananako izay vokatra atỳ aminareo koa, toy ny any amin'ny jentilisa sasany.

I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise.

Ananan'ny Grika sy ny firenena hafa rehetra, ny hendry sy ny tsy hendry, trosa aho;

So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.

koa raha izaho, dia mazoto hitory ny filazantsara aminareo izay any Roma koa aho.

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

Fa tsy menatra ny filazantsara aho; fa herin'Andriamanitra ho famonjena izay rehetra mino izany, amin'ny Jiosy aloha, dia vao amin'ny jentilisa koa.

For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

Fa amin'izany no anehoana fahamarinana avy amin'Andriamanitra avy amin'ny finoana sy ho amin'ny finoana, araka ny voasoratra hoe: Ny marina amin'ny finoana no ho velona (Hab. 2. 4).

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

Fa aseho avy any an-danitra ny fahatezeran'Andriamanitra amin'ny faharatsiana rehetra sy ny tsi-fahamarinan'ny olona izay misakana ny fahamarinana amin'ny fanaovan-dratsy,

Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

satria izay fantatra ny amin'Andriamanitra dia miseho ao am-pon'ireny, fa nasehon'Andriamanitra taminy.

For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

Fa ny fombany tsy hita, dia ny heriny mandrakizay sy ny mah'Andriamanitra Azy, dia miseho hatramin'ny nanaovana izao tontolo izao, fa fantatra amin'ny zavatra nataony; ka dia tsy manan-kalahatra ireo;

Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

fa na dia nahalala an'Andriamanitra aza izy, dia tsy mba nankalaza Azy toy izay miendrika ho an'Andriamanitra, na nisaotra Azy, fa tonga zava-poana izy tamin'ny fisainany, ary tonga maizina ny fony donto.

Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

Nandoka tena ho hendry izy ka tonga adala,

And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

koa ny voninahitr'Andriamanitra tsy mety lò dia nosoloany zavatra tahaka ny endriky ny olona mety lò sy ny vorona sy ny biby manan-tongotra efatra ary ny zavatra mandady sy mikisaka.

Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

Ary izany no nanoloran'Andriamanitra azy tamin'ny filan'ny fony ho amin'ny fahalotoana, dia ny nifanalany voninahitra tamin'ny tenany avy;

Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

ary ny fahamarinan'Andriamanitra dia nosoloany lainga, ka nanaja sy nanompo ny zavatra natao izy, fa tsy ny Mpanao, Izay isaorana mandrakizay. Amena.

For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

Izany no nanoloran'Andriamanitra azy ho amin'ny filan-dratsy mahavoafady; fa ny vehivavy tao aminy nanova ny fanaony ho amin'izay tsy fanaony;

And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

ary tahaka izany koa ny lehilahy, fa namela ny fanao amin'ny vehivavy izy ka maimay tamin'ny fifampilany samy lehilahy nifanao izay mahamenatra, dia nandray tao amin'ny tenany ny valiny izay tokony ho azy noho ny fiviliany.

And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

Ary araka ny nanaovany ny fahalalana marina an'Andriamanitra ho tsy miendrika hotanany, dia araka izany kosa no nanoloran'Andriamanitra azy ho amin'ny fisainana tsy mahamendrika hanao izay zavatra tsy tokony hatao,

Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

ka dia feno ny tsi-fahamarinana rehetra, ny faharatsiana, ny fieremana, ny lolompo,- feno fialonana, vonoan-olona, fifandirana, fitaka, otri-po,-

Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

mpibitsibitsika, mpanendrikendrika, halan'Andriamanitra, mpampahory, mpiavonavona, mpandoka tena, mpamoron-tsain-dratsy, tsy manoa ray sy reny,

Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

tsy manam-pahalalana, tsy mitana fanekena, tsy manam-pitiavana, tsy miantra;

Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

dia olona mahalala tsara ny fitsipika nomen'Andriamanitra fa izay manao izany zavatra izany no miendrika ho faty, nefa tsy manao izany ihany izy, fa mankasitraka ny manao koa.
