¹And *I*, when I came to you, brethren, came not in excellency of word, or wisdom, announcing to you the testimony of God.

¹Ary izaho koa, ry rahalahy, raha tonga tany aminareo, dia tsy tonga tamin'ny teny sy fahendrena marevaka, raha nitory taminareo ny zava-miafina izay an'Andriamanitra. [Na: [ny filazana]

²For I did not judge [it well] to know anything among you save Jesus Christ, and *him* crucified.

²Fa ninia tsy hahafantatra zavatra hafa teo aminareo aho, afa-tsy Jesosy Kristy, indrindra fa Izy voahombo tamin'ny hazo fijaliana;

³And *I* was with you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling;

³ary izaho, raha tany aminareo, dia azon'ny fahalemena sy ny fahatahorana ary ny fangovitana be;

⁴and my word and my preaching, not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of [the] Spirit and of power;

⁴ary ny teniko sy ny toriteniko dia tsy tamin'ny teny fahendrena mahataona, fa tamin'ny fanehoan'ny Fanahy sy ny hery,

⁵that your faith might not stand in men's wisdom, but in God's power.

⁵mba tsy niorenan'ny finoanareo amin'ny fahendren'ny olona, fa amin'ny herin'Andriamanitra ihany.

⁶But we speak wisdom among the perfect; but wisdom not of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who come to nought.

⁶Anefa milaza fahendrena amin'ny efa matanjaka izahay, fa tsy ny fahendren'izao tontolo izao, na ny an'ny mpanapaka izao tontolo izao, izay olona mihalevona;

⁷But we speak God's wisdom in [a] mystery, that hidden [wisdom] which God had predetermined before the ages for our glory:

⁷fa milaza ny fahendren'Andriamanitra izahay ka maneho zava-niafina, dia fahendrena izay nafenina sady voatendrin'Andriamanitra ho voninahitsika talohan'ny nanaovana izao tontolo izao;

⁸which none of the princes of this age knew, (for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory;)

⁸ary tsy nisy nahalala izany ny mpanapaka izao tontolo izao; fa raha nahalala izy, dia tsy nohomboany tamin'ny hazo fijaliana ny Tompon'ny voninahitra.

⁹but according as it is written, Things which eye has not seen, and ear not heard, and which have not come into man's heart, which God has prepared for them that love him,

⁹Fa araka ny voasoratra hoe: Izay tsy mbola hitan'ny maso ary tsy mbola ren'ny sofina, na niditra tao am-pon'ny olona, na inona na inona no efa namboarin'Andriamanitra ho an'izay tia Azy (Isa. 64. 3),

¹⁰but God has revealed to us by [his] Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God.

¹⁰dia isika no nanambaran'Andriamanitra izany tamin'ny Fanahy; fa ny Fanahy mamantatra ny zavatra rehetra, na dia ny saina lalina izay an'Andriamanitra aza.

¹¹For who of men hath known the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? thus also the things of God knows no one except the Spirit of God.

¹¹Fa iza no olona mahalala ny ao am-pon'olona, afa-tsy ny fanahin'ny olona izay ao anatiny ihany? Ary toy izany koa, tsy misy mahalala ny ao am-pon'Andriamanitra afa-tsy ny Fanahin'Andriamanitra ihany.

¹²But *we* have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which [is] of God, that we may know the things which have been freely given to us of God:

¹²Fa isika tsy nandray ny fanahin'izao tontolo izao, fa ny Fanahy Izay avy amin'Andriamanitra, mba ho fantatsika izay zavatra nomen'Andriamanitra antsika.

¹³which also we speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, communicating spiritual [things] by spiritual [means].

¹³Izany koa no lazainay, tsy amin'ny teny ampianarin'ny fahendren'olona fa amin'ny teny ampianarin'ny Fanahy, raha milaza zava-panahy amin'izay olona araka ny Fanahy izahay. [ Na: teny] [ Na: raha mampikambana zava-panahy; na mampitaha zava-panahy]

¹⁴But [the] natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him; and he cannot know [them] because they are spiritually discerned;

¹⁴Fa ny olona izay araka ny nofo ihany dia tsy mba mandray izay an'ny Fanahin'Andriamanitra; fa fahadalana aminy izany sady tsy azony, satria araka ny Fanahy no amantarana izany.

¹⁵but the spiritual discerns all things, and *he* is discerned of no one.

¹⁵Fa ny olona araka ny Fanahy kosa dia mahafantatra ny zavatra rehetra, kanefa izy tsy fantarin'olona.Fa iza no nahafantatra ny sain'ny Tompo mba hampianatra Azy? (Isa. 40. 13). Fa izahay manana ny sain'i Kristy. [ Na: azy]

¹⁶For who has known the mind of [the] Lord, who shall instruct him? But *we* have the mind of Christ.

¹⁶Fa iza no nahafantatra ny sain'ny Tompo mba hampianatra Azy? (Isa. 40. 13). Fa izahay manana ny sain'i Kristy. [ Na: azy]
