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.
1Koa raha manana ireo teny fikasana ireo isika, ry malala, dia aoka isika hanadio ny tenantsika ho afaka amin’ ny fahalotoana rehetra, na amin’ ny nofo, na amin’ ny fanahy, ka hahatanteraka ny fahamasinana amin’ ny fahatahorana an’ Andriamanitra.
2Ataovy omby anay ny fonareo, tsy nanao izay tsy marina tamin’ ny olona izahay, tsy nanimba olona, tsy nanambaka olona.
3Tsy miteny izany ho fanamelohana aho; fa efa nilaza rahateo aho fa ao am-ponay ianareo, mba hiara-maty sy hiara-belona isika.
4Be ny fahatokiako anareo, lehibe ny reharehako ny aminareo; feno fiononana aho sady be hafaliana indrindra amin’ ny fahorianay rehetra.
5Fa na dia efa tonga tany Makedonia aza izahay, dia tsy hiainan’ ny nofonay, fa nampahorina tamin’ ny zavatra rehetra: teo ivelany nisy ady, tao anatiny nisy tahotra.
6Fa Andriamanitra, Izay mampionona ny mpandefitra, no efa nampionona anay tamin’ ny nahatongavan’ i Titosy,
7ary tsy tamin’ ny nahatongavany ihany, fa tamin’ ny fampiononana izay nampiononanareo azy koa, raha nambarany taminay ny fanirianareo sy ny fitomanianareo sy ny fahazotoanareo hanaiky ahy; ka dia mainka nifaly aho.
8Fa na dia nampalahelo anareo tamin’ ny epistily aza aho, dia tsy manenina intsony, na dia nanenina ihany aza teo; fa fantatro fa efa nampalahelo anareo izany epistily izany, kanefa vetivety ihany.
9Ary mifaly kosa aho ankehitriny, nefa tsy noho ny nampalahelovana anareo, fa noho ny nampalahelovana anareo mba hibebaka; fa nampahelovina araka an’ Andriamanitra ianareo, mba tsy hataonay matiantoka na amin’ inona na amin’ inona.
10Fa ny alahelo araka an’ Andriamanitra miasa fibebahana ho famonjena tsy hanenenana; fa miasa fahafatesana kosa ny alahelon’ izao tontolo izao.
12Koa na dia nanoratra taminareo aza aho, dia tsy noho ny nanao izay tsy marina, na noho ny niaritra izay tsy marina, fa mba haseho aminareo eo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra ny fahazotoanareo hanaiky anay.
13Ary noho izany dia nampiononina izahay, ary tamin’ ny nampiononana anay dia vao mainka nifaly izahay noho ny fifalian’ i Titosy, fa ianareo rehetra efa namelombelona ny fanahiny.
14Ary raha nisy nataoko rehareha taminy ny aminareo, dia tsy mahamenatra ahy izany; fa tahaka ny nilazanay marina taminareo ny zavatra rehetra, dia tonga marina koa ny reharehanay tamin’ i Titosy ny aminareo.
15Ary vao mainka miraikitra aminareo aza ny fony, raha mahatsiaro ny fanarahanareo rehetra izy, dia ny haben’ ny fahatahorana sy ny fangovitana nandraisanareo azy.
16Ary faly aho fa matoky anareo amin’ ny zavatra rehetra.
