9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
1Fa ninia toy izao tato am-poko aho, dia ny tsy hankatỳ aminareo indray amin’ alahelo.
2Fa raha mampalahelo anareo aho, iza moa no mampifaly ahy, afa-tsy ilay nampalaheloviko ihany?
3Ary nanoratra izany indrindra aho, fandrao, rehefa tonga aho, dia hahazo alahelo amin’ izay tokony hifaliako, satria matoky anareo rehetra aho, fa ny fifaliako dia anareo rehetra koa.
4Fa tamin’ ny haben’ ny fahoriana sy ny alahelon’ ny foko no nanoratako taminareo tamin’ ny ranomaso be, tsy ny hampalahelovana anareo, fa ny mba hahafantaranareo ny fitiavana izay itiavako anareo indrindra.
5Fa raha nisy efa nampalahelo, dia tsy nampalahelo ahy ihany izy (nefa tsy ta-hanao teny mafy loatra aho), fa mba nampalahelo anareo rehetra koa.
6Ampy ho amin’ izany olona izany ny fampijaliana nataon’ ny maro,
7ka dia aleo mamela heloka sy mampifaly azy kosa ianareo, fandrao dia resin’ ny fitomboan’ alahelo izany olona izany.
8Koa mananatra anareo aho mba hekenareo horaisina tsara amin’ ny fitiavana izy.
9Fa izany koa no nanoratako, mba ho fantatro izay toetrareo, na manaiky amin’ ny zavatra rehetra ianareo, na tsia.
10Fa izay avelanareo heloka dia mba avelako heloka koa; ary izaho anefa, raha nisy heloka navelako, dia noho ny aminareo no namelako azy teo imason’ i Kristy,
11fandrao ho resin’ ny fitak’ i Satana isika, fa fantatsika ny hafetseny.
12Ary rehefa tonga tany Troasy hitory ny filazantsaran’ i Kristy aho, ka novohana varavarana ao amin’ ny Tompo,
13dia tsy tafandry ny fanahiko, satria tsy nahita an’ i Titosy rahalahiko aho; fa nanao veloma ny olona aho, dia niala teo nankany Makedonia.
14Fa isaorana anie Andriamanitra, Izay mitondra anay mandrakariva ao amin’ i Kristy toy ny fanaon’ izay avy nandresy, ka dia ampisehoany ny hanitry ny fahalalana Azy eny tontolo eny izahay.
15Fa hanitr’ i Kristy ho an’ Andriamanitra izahay amin’ izay hovonjena sy izay ho very:
16amin’ ny sasany dia hanitra avy amin’ ny fahafatesana ho amin’ ny fahafatesana; fa amin’ ny sasany kosa dia hanitra avy amin’ ny fiainana ho amin’ ny fiainana. Koa iza moa no antonona ho amin’ izany zavatra izany?
17Fa tsy mba toy ny maro izay manatsatso ny tenin’ Andriamanitra hahazoam-bola izahay; fa toy ny amin’ ny fahadiovam-po kosa, dia avy amin’ Andriamanitra sady eo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra no itenenanay ao amin’ i Kristy.
