Galatians 3

Ry Galatiana adala, iza no nanimba anareo; kanefa teo imasonareo indrindra no nanehoana marimarina an'i Jesosy Kristy voahombo tamin'ny hazo fijaliana?

O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?

Izao ihany no tiako holazainareo amiko: Moa ny asan'ny lalàna va no nandraisanareo ny Fanahy, sa ny fitoriana ny finoana?

This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

Adala toy izany va ianareo? Rehefa nanomboka tamin'ny Fanahy ianareo, dia hahatanteraka amin'ny nofo va ankehitriny?

Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?

Moa izany zavatra be izany dia efa niaretanareo foana, raha dia foana tokoa izany?

Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain.

Ary Izay manome anareo ny Fanahy sy mahavita asa lehibe eo aminareo, moa avy amin'ny asan'ny lalàna va izany, sa avy amin'ny fitoriana ny finoana?

He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

Dia tahaka an'i Abrahama nino an'Andriamanitra, ka dia nasaina ho fahamarinany izany (Gen. 15. 6).

Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.

Koa fantaro fa izay amin'ny finoana no zanak'i Abrahama.

Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.

Ary satria hitan'ny Soratra Masina rahateo fa amin'ny finoana no anamarinan'Andriamanitra ny jentilisa, dia nitory ny filazantsara tamin'i Abrahama rahateo izy, nanao hoe: Aminao no hitahiana ny firenena rehetra (Gen. 12. 3);

And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.

ka dia izay amin'ny finoana notahina mbamin'i Abrahama mpino.

So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.

Fa izay rehetra amin'ny asan'ny lalàna dia eo ambanin'ny fanozonana; fa voasoratra hoe: Voaozona izay rehetra tsy maharitra mankatò ny zavatra rehetra voasoratra ao amin'ny bokin'ny lalàna (Deo. 27. 26).

For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.

Ary hita marimarina fa amin'ny lalàna dia tsy misy olona hamarinina eo anatrehan'Andriamanitra ; fa ny marina amin'ny finoana no ho velona (Hab. 2. 4).

But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.

Ary ny lalàna tsy araka ny finoana; fa izay mahatandrina izany no ho velona aminy (Lev. 18. 5).

And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.

Kristy nanavotra anay tamin'ny ozon'ny lalàna, satria tonga voaozona hamonjy anay Izy; fa voasoratra hoe : Voaozona izay rehetra mihantona amin'ny hazo (Deo. 21. 23),

Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:

mba ho tonga amin'ny jentilisa ny fitahiana an'i Abrahama ao amin'i Kristy Jesosy, ary mba horaisintsika amin'ny finoana ny teny fikasana ny amin'ny Fanahy.

That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

Ry rahalahy - miteny araka ny fanaon'ny olona aho - na dia ny fanekena ataon'olona ihany aza, rehefa vita mafy, dia tsy fanao ny manatsoaka na manampy izany.

Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man's covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto.

Ary tamin'i Abrahama sy ny taranany no nilazana ny teny fikasana. Tsy lazainy hoe: Ary ho an'ny taranaka, toy ny milaza ny maro; fa toy ny milaza ny anankiray, ary ho an'ny taranakao (Gen. 22. 18), dia Kristy izany.

Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.

Ary izao no lazaiko: Ny fanekena izay nataon'Andriamanitra mafy fahiny dia tsy tsoahan'ny lalàna, izay vao natao telo-polo amby efa-jato taona tato aoriana, hahafoana ny teny fikasana.

And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.

Fa raha avy amin'ny lalàna ny lova, dia tsy avy amin'ny teny fikasana intsony; nefa tamin'i Abrahama dia teny fikasana no nanomezan'Andriamanitra azy.

For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.

Inona ary ny lalàna ? Nanampy noho ny fahadisoana izy ambara-pihavin'ny taranaka izay nomena ny teny fikasana; ary nalahatr'anjely teo an-tànan'ny mpanalalana izany.

Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.

Ary ny mpanalalana dia tsy an'ny irery, fa Andriamanitra dia iray ihany.

Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one.

Ka moa manohitra ny teny fikasan'Andriamanitra va ny lalàna? Sanatria izany! Fa raha nisy lalàna mahavelona nomena, dia avy tamin'ny lalàna tokoa ny fahamarinana

Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.

Fa ny Soratra Masina efa nanidy azy rehetra teo amin'ny fahotana, mba homena ny mino ny teny fikasana noho ny finoana an i Jesosy Kristy.

But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.

Fa fony tsy mbola tonga ny finoana, dia voambina tao ambanin'ny lalàna isika ka voahidy ho amin'ny finoana izay efa haseho ato aoriana.

But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.

Koa ny lalàna dia mpitaiza antsika ho amin'i Kristy, mba hohamarinina noho ny finoana isika.

Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

Fa rehefa tonga ny finoana, dia tsy fehezin'izay mpitaiza intsony isika.

But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.

Fa ianareo rehetra dia zanak'Andriamanitra amin'ny finoana an'i Kristy Jesosy.

For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

Fa na iza na iza ianareo no natao batisa ho an'i Kristy dia nitafy an'i Kristy.

For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

Tsy misy intsony na Jiosy na Grika, na andevo na tsy andevo, na lahy sy vavy; fa iray ihany ianareo rehetra ao amin'i Kristy Jesosy.

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

Fa raha an'i Kristy ianareo, dia taranak'i Abrahama sy mpandova araka ny teny fikasana.

And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
