¹Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me.

¹Enga anie ka mba handefitra amiko amin'ny hadalana kely ianareo, kanefa mandefitra amiko ihany ianareo.[Na: Eny, mandefera]

²For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.

²Fa fahasaro-piaro araka an'Andriamanitra no mahasaro-piaro ahy aminareo; fa nataoko fofombadin'ny lehilahy iray ianareo, mba hatolotra tahaka ny virijina madio ho an'i Kristy.

³But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

³Fa matahotra aho, fandrao ny sainareo ho simba hiala amin'ny fahitsiam-po sy ny fahadiovana amin'i Kristy, tahaka ny namitahan'ny menarana an'i Eva tamin'ny fihendreny.

⁴For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.

⁴Fa raha misy tonga ka mitory Jesosy hafa izay tsy notorinay, na ianareo mandray fanahy hafa izay tsy noraisinareo, hay! tsara ny andeferanareo amin'izany!

⁵For I suppose I was not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles.

⁵Fa ataoko fa tsy misy mahalatsaka ahy noho ireo Apostoly ambony indrindra ireo.[Na: Fatratra loatra]

⁶But though I be rude in speech, yet not in knowledge; but we have been throughly made manifest among you in all things.

⁶Fa na dia olona tsy nampianarina laha-teny aza aho, dia tsy mba tahaka izany amin'ny fahalalana; fa tamin'ny zavatra rehetra dia efa nasehonay marimarina tamin'ny olona rehetra izany hahasoa anareo.

⁷Have I committed an offence in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I have preached to you the gospel of God freely?

⁷Diso va aho, raha nanetry tena mba hisandratanareo ka nitory maimaimpoana ny filazantsaran'Andriamanitra taminareo?

⁸I robbed other churches, taking wages of them, to do you service.

⁸Namabo ny fiangonana sasany aho ka nandray karama hanompoako anareo.

⁹And when I was present with you, and wanted, I was chargeable to no man: for that which was lacking to me the brethren which came from Macedonia supplied: and in all things I have kept myself from being burdensome unto you, and so will I keep myself.

⁹Fa raha nitoetra teo aminareo aho ka tsy nanana, dia tsy mba nahavaky tratra olona aho; fa raha vao tonga avy tany Makedonia ny rahalahy, dia nomeny ahy izay nilaiko; ary tamin'ny zavatra rehetra dia nitandrina tsara izay tsy hahavaky tratra anareo aho sady mbola hitandrina izany ihany.

¹⁰As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me of this boasting in the regions of Achaia.

¹⁰Raha ato anatiko koa ny fahamarinan'i Kristy, dia tsy hisy hahafoana izany reharehako izany any amin'ny tany Akaia.

¹¹Wherefore? because I love you not? God knoweth.

¹¹Nahoana? Satria tsy tiako va ianareo? Andriamanitra no mahalala.

¹²But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we.

¹²Fa izay ataoko no mbola hataoko ihany, mba hampitsaharako ny famelezan'izay mitady hamely, mba ho hita fa tahaka anay ihany izay amin'ny izay ireharehany.

¹³For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.

¹³Fa Apostoly sandoka izy ireny, mpiasa mamitaka, ka dia mampiova ny endriny ho tahaka ny Apostolin'i Kristy.

¹⁴And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

¹⁴Ary tsy mahagaga izany, fa Satana aza mampiova ny endriny ho tahaka ny anjelin'ny mazava.

¹⁵Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

¹⁵Koa tsy zavatra lehibe tsy akory, raha ny mpanompony koa no mba mampiova ny endriny ho tahaka ny mpanompon'ny fahamarinana; nefa ny farany ho araka ny asany ihany.

¹⁶I say again, Let no man think me a fool; if otherwise, yet as a fool receive me, that I may boast myself a little.

¹⁶Hoy izaho indray: Aza misy manao ahy ho adala; nefa, na dia misy manao izany aza, raiso toy ny adala aho mba hireharehako kelikely koa.

¹⁷That which I speak, I speak it not after the Lord, but as it were foolishly, in this confidence of boasting.

¹⁷Izao lazaiko izao dia tsy lazaiko araka ny Tompo, fa toa amin'ny fahadalana amin'izao rehareha matoky izao ihany.

¹⁸Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will glory also.

¹⁸Satria maro no mirehareha araka ny nofo, dia mba hirehareha koa aho.

¹⁹For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye yourselves are wise.

¹⁹Fa sitrakareo ny handefitra amin'ny adala, satria hendry angaha ianareo.

²⁰For ye suffer, if a man bring you into bondage, if a man devour you, if a man take of you, if a man exalt himself, if a man smite you on the face.

²⁰Fa hay! mandefitra ihany ianareo, raha misy manandevo anareo, raha misy mandany anareo, raha misy misambotra anareo, raha misy mirehareha aminareo, raha misy mamely ny tavanareo.

²¹I speak as concerning reproach, as though we had been weak. Howbeit whereinsoever any is bold, (I speak foolishly,) I am bold also.

²¹Manala-barà-tena aho ka toa manaiky fa nalemy izahay! Fa amin'izay mahasahy ny olona (miteny toy ny adala aho), dia mba sahy koa aho.

²²Are they Hebrews? so am I. Are they Israelites? so am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so am I.

²²Hebreo va izy? Izaho koa. Isiraelita va izy? Izaho koa. Taranak'i Abrahama va izy? Izaho koa.

²³Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I am more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft.

²³Mpanompon'i Kristy va izy? (miteny toy ny olona very saina aho) mihoatra noho izy aho: amin'ny fisasarana manan-tombo, amin'ny tranomaizina matetika kokoa, amin'ny kapoka be efa izay tsy izy, amin'ny fahafatesana matetika.

²⁴Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one.

²⁴Indimy aho no nokapohin'ny Jiosy inefa-polo latsaka iray avy.

²⁵Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep;

²⁵Intelo nokapohina tamin'ny hazo aho, indray maka notoraham-bato, intelo no vaky sambo, indray andro sy indray alina no nitoetra teo amin'ny lalina,

²⁶In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren;

²⁶nandeha matetika aho, saiky nahita loza tamin'ny ony, saiky nahita loza tamin'ny jiolahy, saiky nahita loza tamin'ny tompon-tany namako, saiky nahita loza tamin'ny jentilisa, saiky nahita loza tao amin'ny tanàna aho, saiky nahita loza tany an-efitra aho, saiky nahita loza tany amin'ny ranomasina aho, saiky nahita loza tamin'ny rahalahy sandoka aho,

²⁷In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.

²⁷tamin'ny fisasarana sy ny fikelezan'aina, tamin'ny tsi-fahitan-tory matetika, tamin'ny hanoanana sy ny hetaheta, tamin'ny fifadian-kanina matetika, tamin'ny hatsiaka sy ny fitanjahana.

²⁸Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches.

²⁸Afa-tsy ireo zavatra ivelany dia mbola misy koa izay mahazo ahy isan'andro, dia ny fiahiana ny fiangonana rehetra.[Na: izany rehetra izany]

²⁹Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is offended, and I burn not?

²⁹Iza no malemy, ka tsy malemy aho? Iza no tafintohina, ka tsy mirehitra aho?

³⁰If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things which concern mine infirmities.

³⁰Raha tsy maintsy mirehareha aho, dia izay momba ny fahalemeko no hataoko rehareha.

³¹The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is blessed for evermore, knoweth that I lie not.

³¹Andriamanitra, Rain'i Jesosy Tompo, Izay isaorana mandrakizay, mahalala fa tsy mandainga aho.

³²In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king kept the city of the Damascenes with a garrison, desirous to apprehend me:

³²Tany Damaskosy ny governora notendren'i Areta mpanjaka dia nampiambina ny tanàna Damaskosy mba hisambotra ahy;fa avy teo amin'ny varavarankely eo amin'ny mànda no nampidinana ahy tamin'ny sobiky, ka dia afa-nandositra ny tànany aho.

³³And through a window in a basket was I let down by the wall, and escaped his hands.

³³fa avy teo amin'ny varavarankely eo amin'ny mànda no nampidinana ahy tamin'ny sobiky, ka dia afa-nandositra ny tànany aho.
