Romana 15

1 Fa isika izay matanjaka dia tokony hitondra ny fahalemen’ ny malemy ka tsy hitady izay hahafaly ny tenantsika ihany.

But we who are stronger must bear with the feebleness of the weak, and not so as to please ourselves.

2 Aoka isika rehetra samy hitady izay hahafaly ny namantsika amin’ izay hahasoa sy hampandroso azy.

Each one of you should please his neighbor unto good, for edification.

3 Fa Kristy aza tsy nitady izay hahafaly ny tenany; fa araka ny voasoratra hoe: Ny latsa nataon’ izay nandatsa Anao dia nihatra tamiko.

For even Christ did not please himself, but as it was written: “The reproaches of those who reproached you fell upon me.”

4 Fa izay rehetra voasoratra fahiny dia nosoratana ho fianarantsika hananantsika ny fanantenana amin’ ny faharetana sy ny fiononana avy amin’ ny Soratra Masìna.

For whatever was written, was written to teach us, so that, through patience and the consolation of the Scriptures, we might have hope.

5 Fa Andriamanitry ny faharetana sy ny fiononana anie hampiray hevitra anareo araka an’ i Kristy Jesosy,

So may the God of patience and solace grant you to be of one mind toward one another, in accord with Jesus Christ,

6 mba ho saina iray sy vava iray no hiarahanareo mankalaza an’ Andriamanitra, Rain’ i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika.

so that, together with one mouth, you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

7 Koa mifandraisa ianareo tahaka ny nandraisan’ i Kristy anareo koa ho voninahitr’ Andriamanitra.

For this reason, accept one another, just as Christ also has accepted you, in the honor of God.

8 Fa lazaiko fa Kristy efa tonga mpanompon’ ny voafora noho ny fahamarinan’ Andriamanitra hahatò ny teny fikasana tamin’ ny razana,

For I declare that Christ Jesus was the minister of circumcision because of the truth of God, so as to confirm the promises to the fathers,

9 mba hankalazan’ ny jentilisa an’ Andriamanitra koa noho ny famindram-po, araka ny voasoratra hoe: Izany no hiderako Anao any amin’ ny jentilisa Sy hankalazako ny anaranao.

and that the Gentiles are to honor God because of his mercy, just as it was written: “Because of this, I will confess you among the Gentiles, O Lord, and I will sing to your name.”

10 Ary hoy koa Izy: Miravoravoa, ry jentilisa, mbamin’ ny olony.

And again, he says: “Rejoice, O Gentiles, along with his people.”

11 Ary koa: Midera’ an’ i Jehovah, ry jentilisa rehetra. Ary aoka hankalaza Azy ny firenena rehetra.

And again: “All Gentiles, praise the Lord; and all peoples, magnify him.”

12 Ary hoy koa Isaia: Hisy Solofon’ i Jese. Dia Ilay hitsangana hanapaka ny jentilisa; Izy no hitokian’ ny jentilisa.

And again, Isaiah says: “There shall be a root of Jesse, and he shall rise up to rule the Gentiles, and in him the Gentiles shall hope.”

13 Ary Andriamanitry ny fanantenana anie hameno anareo amin’ ny fifaliana sy ny fiadanana rehetra amin’ ny finoanareo, mba hitomboanareo amin’ ny fanantenana noho ny herin’ ny Fanahy Masìna.

So may the God of hope fill you with every joy and with peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope and in the virtue of the Holy Spirit.

14 Fa izaho koa, ry rahalahiko, dia matoky ny aminareo fa feno fahatsarana ianareo sady mahay mifananatra koa.

But I am also certain about you, my brothers, that you also have been filled with love, completed with all knowledge, so that you are able to admonish one another.

15 Kanefa amin’ ny fahasahiana no anoratako ny teny sasany aminareo, toy ny mampahatsiaro anareo indray noho ny fahasoavana nomen’ Andriamanitra ahy,

But I have written to you, brothers, more boldly than to the others, as if calling you to mind again, because of the grace which has been given to me from God,

16 mba ho mpanompon’ i Kristy Jesosy ho an’ ny jentilisa aho ka manao fanompoam-pivavahana amin’ ny itoriako ny filazantsaran’ Andriamanitra, mba horaisina amin’ ny fankasitrahana ny fanatitra, dia ny jentilisa, rehefa nohamasinin’ ny Fanahy Masìna.

so that I may be a minister of Christ Jesus among the Gentiles, sanctifying the Gospel of God, in order that the oblation of the Gentiles may be made acceptable and may be sanctified in the Holy Spirit.

17 Ka dia manana izay hataoko rehareha ao amin’ i Kristy Jesosy aho noho ny amin’ Andriamanitra.

Therefore, I have glory in Christ Jesus before God.

18 Fa tsy sahiko lazaina izay zavatra tsy nampanaovin’ i Kristy ahy, na tamin’ ny teny, na tamin’ ny asa, mba hampanaiky ny jentilisa,

So I dare not speak of any of those things which Christ does not effect through me, unto the obedience of the Gentiles, in word and deed,

19 dia tamin’ ny herin’ ny famantarana sy ny fahagagana, ary tamin’ ny herin’ ny Fanahy Masìna, dia hatrany Jerosalema ka manodidina hatrany Ilyrikiona, no nahatanterahako ny fitoriako ny filazantsaran’ i Kristy.

with the power of signs and wonders, by power of the Holy Spirit. For in this way, from Jerusalem, throughout its surroundings, as far as Illyricum, I have replenished the Gospel of Christ.

20 Koa dia nataoko ho voninahitro ny hitory ny filazantsara toy izao: tsy eo amin’ izay efa niantsoana an’ i Kristy anefa, fandrao hanovona eo ambonin’ izay efa naorin’ ny sasany aho;

And so I have preached this Gospel, not where Christ was known by name, lest I build upon the foundation of another,

21 fa araka ny voasoratra hoe: Izay tsy nilazana Azy no hahita, Ary izay tsy nandre no hahafantatra.

but just as it was written: “Those to whom he was not announced shall perceive, and those who have not heard shall understand.”

22 Ary izany no nahasampona ahy matetika tsy hankany aminareo.

Because of this also, I was greatly hindered in coming to you, and I have been prevented until the present time.

23 Fa ankehitriny, satria tsy misy antony intsony ny itoerako amin’ ireto tany ireto sady efa naniry hatramin’ ny taona maro hankany aminareo aho,

Yet truly now, having no other destination in these regions, and having already had a great desire to come to you over the past many years,

24 raha mankany Spania; fa manantena hahita anareo amin’ ny alehako aho ka haterinareo ho any, rehefa afakafaka ny alaheloko anareo.

when I begin to set out on my journey to Spain, I hope that, as I pass by, I may see you, and I may be guided from there by you, after first having borne some fruit among you.

25 Fa ankehitriny dia efa hankany Jerosalema aho hanompo ny olona masìna.

But next I will set out for Jerusalem, to minister to the saints.

26 Fa efa sitrapon’ Makedonia sy Akaia ny hamory vola hiantrana ny malahelo amin’ ny olona masìna any Jerosalema.

For those of Macedonia and Achaia have decided to make a collection for those of the poor among the saints who are at Jerusalem.

27 Eny, sitrapony izany, sady mpitrosa aminy izy. Fa raha ny jentilisa no niombona ny zava-panahy taminy, dia tokony hanompo azy kosa amin’ ny zavatra momba ny nofo izy.

And this has pleased them, because they are in their debt. For, since the Gentiles have become partakers of their spiritual things, they also ought to minister to them in worldly things.

28 Ary rehefa vitako izany, ka voatolotro azy soa aman-tsara izany vokatra izany, dia hihazo any aminareo aho, raha mankany Spania.

Therefore, when I have completed this task, and have consigned to them this fruit, I shall set out, by way of you, to Spain.

29 Ary fantatro fa raha mankany aminareo aho, dia homba ahy ny fahafenoan’ ny fitahian’ i Kristy.

And I know that when I come to you I shall arrive with an abundance of the blessings of the Gospel of Christ.

30 Ary mangataka aminareo aho, ry rahalahy, noho ny amin’ i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika sy ny fitiavana avy amin’ ny Fanahy, mba hiarahanareo miezaka amiko amin’ ny fivavahanareo amin’ Andriamanitra ho ahy,

Therefore, I beg you, brothers, through our Lord Jesus Christ and through the love of the Holy Spirit, that you assist me with your prayers to God on my behalf,

31 mba ho voavonjy amin’ ny tsy mino any Jodia aho, ary mba hankasitrahan’ ny ny olona masìna izay fanompoana hataoko any Jerosalema,

so that I may be freed from the unfaithful who are in Judea, and so that the oblation of my service may be acceptable to the saints in Jerusalem.

32 mba hankanesako any aminareo amin’ ny fifaliana, raha sitrapon’ Andriamanitra, ka samy ho velombelona ny fontsika.

So may I come to you with joy, through the will of God, and so may I be refreshed with you.

33 Ary Andriamanitry ny fiadanana anie ho aminareo rehetra. Amena.

And may the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
