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.
2Izy nankao amin’ i Jesosy nony alina ka nanao taminy hoe: Raby ô, fantatray fa mpampianatra avy amin’ Andriamanitra Hianao; fa tsy misy olona mahay manao izao famantarana ataonao izao, raha tsy Andriamanitra no momba azy.
3Jesosy namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Lazaiko aminao marina dia marina tokoa: Raha tsy ateraka indray ny olona, dia tsy mahazo mahita ny fanjakan’ Andriamanitra.
4Hoy Nikodemosy taminy: Hataon’ ny olona ahoana no hateraka rehefa lehibe; moa mahazo miditra any an-kibon-dreniny indray va izy ka hateraka?
5Jesosy namaly hoe: Lazaiko aminao marina dia marina tokoa: Raha misy olona tsy ateraky ny rano sy ny Fanahy, dia tsy mahazo miditra amin’ ny fanjakan’ Andriamanitra izy.
6Izay ateraky ny nofo dia nofo; ary izay ateraky ny Fanahy dia fanahy.
16Fa toy izao no nitiavan’ Andriamanitra izao tontolo izao: nomeny ny Zanani-lahy Tokana, mba tsy ho very izay rehetra mino Azy, fa hanana fiainana mandrakizay.
17Fa Andriamanitra tsy naniraka ny Zanaka ho amin’ izao tontolo izao hanameloka izao tontolo izao, fa mba hamonjeny izao tontolo izao.
18Izay mino Azy dia tsy helohina; fa izay tsy mino kosa dia efa voaheloka rahateo, satria tsy nino ny anaran’ ny Zanaka-lahy Tokan’ Andriamanitra izy.
19Ary izao no fanamelohana, fa tonga amin’ izao tontolo izao ny mazava, nefa aleon’ ny olona ny maizina toy izay ny mazava, satria ratsy ny asany.
20Fa izay rehetra manao ratsy dia mankahala ny mazava sady tsy manatona ny mazava, fandrao hita miharihary ny asany.
21Fa izay manao ny marina kosa dia manatona ny mazava, mba haseho ny asany, fa atao amin’ Andriamanitra izany.
22Rehefa afaka izany, dia tonga tany amin’ ny tany Jodia Jesosy sy ny mpianany; ary niara-nitoetra taminy tao Izy sady nanao batisa.
23Ary Jaona koa nanao batisa tao Ainona, akaikin’ i Saleima, satria nisy loharano maro tao; dia nankany ny olona ka nataony batisa.
24Fa tsy mbola natao tao an-tranomaizina Jaona.
25Ary nisy nifandiran’ ny mpianatr’ i Jaona tamin’ ny Jiosy anankiray ny amin’ ny fanadiovana;
26ary tonga tany amin’ i Jaona ny mpianany ka nanao taminy hoe: Raby ô, Ilay tany aminao, tany an-dafin’ i Jordana, Izay nambaranao, indro, manao batisa Izy, ary ny olona rehetra manatona Azy.
27Jaona namaly ka nanao hoe: Tsy misy olona mahay mandray na inona na inona, raha tsy nomena azy avy any an-danitra izany.
28Hianareo no vavolombeloko fa hoy izaho: Tsy izaho no Kristy, fa nirahiny hialoha Azy aho.
29Izay manana ny ampakarina no mpampakatra; fa ny sakaizan’ ny mpampakatra, izay mitsangana sy mihaino azy, dia mifaly indrindra noho ny feon’ ny mpampakatra; ary efa tanteraka izany fifaliako izany.
30Izy tsy maintsy mitombo, fa izaho kosa tsy maintsy mihena.
31Izay avy any ambony dia ambonin’ izy rehetra; ary izay avy amin’ ny tany dia avy amin’ ny tany, ka ny momba ny etỳ an-tany ihany no lazainy; Izay avy any an-danitra dia ambonin’ izy rehetra;
32koa izay hitany sy reny no ambarany; ary tsy misy mandray ny fanambarany.
33Izay mandray ny fanambarany dia nanisy tombo-kase fa marina Andriamanitra.
34Fa Izay nirahin’ Andriamanitra dia milaza ny teniny; fa tsy misy fetra ny fanomezan’ Andriamanitra ny Fanahy.
35Ny Ray tia ny Zanaka ka efa nanolotra ny zavatra rehetra ho eo an-tànany.
36Izay mino ny Zanaka manana fiainana mandrakizay; fa izay tsy mino ny Zanaka dia tsy hahita fiainana, fa ny fahatezeran’ Andriamanitra no mitoetra eo aminy.
