¹And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.

¹[Ny amin'ny raharahan'ny mpitoriteny, sy ny mbola hizahan-toetra azy] Ary izaho, ry rahalahy, tsy nahazo niteny taminareo tahaka ny amin'izay araka ny Fanahy, fa tahaka ny amin'izay mbola nofo, dia tahaka izay mbola zaza ihany ao amin'i Kristy.

²I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.

²Ronono no nomeko anareo, fa tsy ventin-kanina, satria tsy mbola natanjaka ianareo; eny, mbola tsy matanjaka mandraka ankehitriny aza,

³For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?

³fa mbola araka ny nofo ihany ianareo. Fa raha misy fialonana sy fifandirana eo aminareo, tsy araka ny nofo va ianareo ka mandeha araka ny fanaon'ny olona?

⁴For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?

⁴Fa raha hoy ny anankiray: Izaho an'i Paoly, ary ny anankiray kosa: Izaho an'i Apolosy, moa tsy olona ihany va ianareo?

⁵Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?

⁵Koa inona moa Apolosy, ary inona moa Paoly? Mpanompo ihany izay nahatonga anareo ho mpino ireo, dia samy araka ny nomen'ny Tompo azy avy.

⁶I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.

⁶Izaho namboly, Apolosy nandena, fa Andriamanitra no nampitombo.

⁷So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.

⁷Ka dia tsinontsinona izay mamboly, na izay mandena, fa Andriamanitra Izay mampitombo no izy.

⁸Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.

⁸Ary iray ihany ny mpamboly sy ny mpandena; nefa samy handray izay valim-pitiany avy araka ny fisasarany izy.

⁹For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.

⁹Fa mpiara-miasa amin'Andriamanitra izahay; ary sahan'Andriamanitra sy trano arafitr'Andriamanitra ianareo.

¹⁰According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.

¹⁰Araka ny fahasoavan'Andriamanitra nomena ahy, tahaka ny fanaon'ny mpità-marika mahay no nanaovako ny fanorenana, ary ny hafa mandrafitra eo amboniny; nefa aoka ny olona rehetra hitandrina izay arafiny eo amboniny.

¹¹For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

¹¹Fa tsy misy mahay manao fanorenana hafa afa-tsy izay natao, dia Jesosy Kristy.

¹²Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;

¹²Ary raha misy mandrafitra volamena, na volafotsy, na vato tsara, na hazo, na bozaka, na mololo, eo ambonin'ny fanorenana,

¹³Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.

¹³dia haseho avokoa ny asan'ny olona rehetra; fa ny andro no hampiseho azy, satria haseho amin'afo izany andro izany, ka dia hozahan-toetra, amin'ny afo ny asan'ny olona rehetra. [ Na: izany]

¹⁴If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.

¹⁴Raha maharitra ny asan'ny olona, izay narafiny teo amboniny, dia handray valim-pitia izy.

¹⁵If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

¹⁵Raha ho levon'ny afo ny asan'ny olona, dia ho fatiantoka izy; fa ny tenany kosa dia hovonjena, nefa toy ny avy ao amin'ny afo ihany izy.

¹⁶Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

¹⁶Tsy fantatrareo va fa tempolin'Andriamanitra ianareo, ary ny Fanahin'Andriamanitra mitoetra no anatinareo?

¹⁷If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

¹⁷Raha misy manimba ny tempolin'Andriamanitra, dia mba hosimban'Andriamanitra kosa izy; fa masina ny tempolin'Andriamanitra, dia ianareo izany. [ Na: dia masina koa ianareo]

¹⁸Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.

¹⁸Aza misy mamita-tena. Raha misy eo aminareo manao azy ho hendry amin'izao tontolo izao, aoka ho adala izy mba ho hendry.

¹⁹For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.

¹⁹Fa ny fahendren'izao tontolo izao dia fahadalana eo anatrehan'Andriamanitra; fa voasoratra hoe: Ny hafetsen'ny hendry ihany no entiny misambotra azy (Joba 5. 13).

²⁰And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.

²⁰Ary indray: Jehovah no mahalala ny hevitry ny hendry fa zava-poana izany (Sal. 94. 11)

²¹Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are your's;

²¹Ka dia aza misy manao olona ho reharehany; fa anareo ny zavatra rehetra:

²²Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are your's;

²²na Paoly, na Apolosy, na Kefasy, na izao tontolo izao, na fiainana, na fahafatesana, na ny zavatra ankehitriny, na ny zavatra ho avy; dia anareo izany rehetra izany;ary ianareo an'i Kristy ary Kristy an'Andriamanitra.

²³And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.

²³ary ianareo an'i Kristy ary Kristy an'Andriamanitra.
