¹Paul called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,

¹[Fitarihan-teny sy fiarahabana ary fisaorana] Paoly, voantso ho Apostolin'i Jesosy Kristy noho ny sitrapon'Andriamanitra, ary Sostena rahalahy,

²Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both their's and our's:

²mamangy ny fiangonan'Andriamanitra any Korinto, dia izay nohamasinina ao amin'i Kristy Jesosy, olona voantso sady masina, mbamin'izay rehetra miantso ny anaran'i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika eny amin'ny tany rehetra, dia azy sy antsika:

³Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

³ho aminareo anie ny fahasoavana sy ny fiadanana avy amin'Andriamanitra Raintsika sy Jesosy Kristy Tompo.

⁴I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ;

⁴Misaotra an'Andriamanitro mandrakariva ny aminareo aho noho ny fahasoavan'Andriamanitra izay nomena anareo ao amin'i Kristy Jesosy,

⁵That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;

⁵dia ny nampananana harena anareo ao aminy amin'ny zavatra rehetra, na ny teny rehetra, na ny fahalalana rehetra,

⁶Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:

⁶araka ny niorenan'ny filazana an'i Kristy teo aminareo,

⁷So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:

⁷ka dia tsy latsaka amin'ny fanomezam-pahasoavana rehetra ianareo, miandry ny fisehoan'i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika,

⁸Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁸Izay hampiorina anareo koa hatramin'ny farany, ka dia tsy hanan-tsiny ianareo amin'ny andron'i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika.

⁹God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

⁹Mahatoky Andriamanitra, Izay nahatonga ny fiantsoana anareo hanananareo firaisana amin'ny Zanany, dia Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika.

¹⁰Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

¹⁰[Anatra noho ny fifampiandanian'ny fiangonana tao Korinto, sy filazana ny amin'ny nitorian'Paoly ny filazantsara] Ary mananatra anareo aho, ry rahalahy, amin'ny anaran'i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika, mba hiray teny ianareo rehetra, ka tsy hisy fisarahana eo aminareo, fa mba ho tafakambana tsara ianareo hiray saina sy hevitra.

¹¹For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.

¹¹Fa efa voalazan'ny avy amin'ny ankohonan'i Kloa tamiko ny amin'ny toetrareo, ry rahalahiko, fa misy fifampiandaniana eo aminareo.

¹²Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.

¹²Izao anefa no anaovako izany: Hianareo samy manao hoe: Izaho an'i Paoly, na: Izaho an'i Apolosy, na: Izaho an'i Kefasy, na: Izaho an'i Kristy.

¹³Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?

¹³Voazarazara va Kristy? Paoly va no voahombo tamin'ny hazo fijaliana hamonjy anareo, sa ho amin'ny anaran'i Paoly no nanaovam-batisa anareo?

¹⁴I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;

¹⁴Misaotra an'Andriamanitra aho fa tsy nisy nataoko batisa ianareo afa-tsy Krispo sy Gaio,

¹⁵Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name.

¹⁵fandrao misy milaza fa efa natao batisa ho amin'ny anarako ianareo.

¹⁶And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.

¹⁶Nefa mba efa nanao batisa ny ankohonan'i Stefanasy koa aho; afa-tsy ireo dia tsy hitako izay nataoko batisa.

¹⁷For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.

¹⁷Fa Kristy tsy naniraka ahy hanao batisa, fa hitory ny filazantsara, tsy tamin'ny teny fahendrena, fandrao ho foana ny hazo fijalian'i Kristy.

¹⁸For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

¹⁸Fa ny teny ny amin'ny hazo fijaliana dia fahadalana amin'izay ho very, fa herin'Andriamanitra kosa amintsika izay hovonjena.

¹⁹For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.

¹⁹Fa voasoratra hoe: Hofoanako ny fahendren'ny hendry, Ary holaviko ny fahalalan'ny mahalala (Isa. 29. 14).

²⁰Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

²⁰Aiza ny hendry? Aiza ny mpanora-dalàna? Aiza ny mpiady hevitra avy amin'izao tontolo izao? Tsy nampodin'Andriamanitra ho fahadalana va ny fahendren'izao tontolo izao?

²¹For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.

²¹Fa satria, na dia naseho aza ny fahendren'Andriamanitra, ny fahendrena dia tsy nahatonga izao tontolo izao hahalala an'Andriamanitra, ka dia ny fahadalan'ny fitorian-teny no sitrak'Andriamanitra hamonjeny izay mino; [ Na: Fa noho ny fahendren'Andriamanitra]

²²For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:

²²fa ny Jiosy mila famantarana, ary ny jentilisa mitady fahendrena, [ Gr. Grika]

²³But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;

²³fa izahay kosa mitory an'i Kristy voahombo tamin'ny hazo fijaliana, dia fahatafintohinana amin'ny Jiosy ary fahadalana amin'ny jentilisa, [ Gr. Grika]

²⁴But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

²⁴fa amin'izay voantso kosa, na Jiosy na jentilisa, dia Kristy, Izay herin'Andriamanitra sy fahendren'Andriamanitra. [ Gr. Grika]

²⁵Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

²⁵Fa ny fahadalan'Andriamanitra dia hendry noho ny olona; ary ny fahalemen'Andriamanitra mahery noho ny olona.

²⁶For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:

²⁶Fa hevero ny fiantsoana anareo, ry rahalahy, fa tsy firy no olon-kendry araka ny nofo, tsy firy no olona mahery, tsy firy no avo razana;

²⁷But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;

²⁷fa ny adala amin'izao tontolo izao no nofidin'Andriamanitra hampahamenatra ny hendry; ary ny malemy amin'izao tontolo izao no nofidin'Andriamanitra hampahamenatra ny mahery;

²⁸And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:

²⁸ary ny iva razana amin'izao tontolo izao sy izay fanevateva no nofidin'Andriamanitra, dia ny atao ho tsy misy aza, mba hahafoana ny misy,

²⁹That no flesh should glory in his presence.

²⁹mba tsy hisy nofo hahazo mirehareha eo anatrehan'Andriamanitra.

³⁰But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:

³⁰Fa avy aminy no nanaovana anareo ho ao amin'i Kristy Jesosy, Izay nataon'Andriamanitra fahendrena sy fahamarinana sy fahamasinana ary fanavotana ho antsika,mba ho araka ny voasoratra hoe: Izay mirehareha, aoka Jehovah no ho reharehany (Jery. 9. 23).

³¹That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

³¹mba ho araka ny voasoratra hoe: Izay mirehareha, aoka Jehovah no ho reharehany (Jery. 9. 23).
