¹Dare any one of you, having a matter against another, prosecute his suit before the unjust, and not before the saints?

¹[Ny tsy mahamety ny miady eo anatrehan'ny tsy mino] Misy aminareo va, raha manana ady amin'ny namany, sahy handeha hotsarain'ny olona tsy marina, fa tsy eo anatrehan'ny olona masina?

²Do ye not then know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world is judged by you, are ye unworthy of [the] smallest judgments?

²Sa tsy fantatrareo fa ny olona masina dia hitsara izao tontolo izao? Ary raha hitsara izao tontolo izao ianareo, moa tsy miendrika hitsara izay zavatra madinika indrindra va ianareo?

³Do ye not know that we shall judge angels? and not then matters of this life?

³Tsy fantatrareo va fa hitsara anjely isika? mainka fa izay zavatra momba izao fiainana izao.

⁴If then ye have judgments as to things of this life, set those [to judge] who are little esteemed in the assembly.

⁴Koa raha misy hotsarainareo ny amin'ny momba izao fiainana izao, moa izay ataon'ny fiangonana ho tsinontsinona va no tendrenareo ho mpitsara?

⁵I speak to you [to put you] to shame. Thus there is not a wise person among you, not even one, who shall be able to decide between his brethren!

⁵Hampahamenatra anareo no itenenako izany. Hay! dia tsy misy olon-kendry aminareo, na dia iray akory aza, izay mahay manamboatra ny adin'ny rahalahiny?

⁶But brother prosecutes his suit with brother, and that before unbelievers.

⁶Fa ny rahalahy mandeha hiady amin'ny rahalahiny, na dia hotsarain'ny tsy mino aza.

⁷Already indeed then it is altogether a fault in you that ye have suits between yourselves. Why do ye not rather suffer wrong? why are ye not rather defrauded?

⁷Ary ankehitriny dia kilema aminareo ny anananareo ady amin'ny namanareo. Nahoana no tsy aleo mandefitra ny tsy rariny aza ianareo? Nahoana no tsy aleo maharitra hambakaina aza ianareo? [ Na: matiantoka mihitsy ny fanahinareo, raha manana]

⁸But *ye* do wrong, and defraud, and this [your] brethren.

⁸Kanjo ianareo indray no manao izay tsy marina ka manambaka na dia ny rahalahinareo aza.

⁹Do ye not know that unrighteous [persons] shall not inherit [the] kingdom of God? Do not err: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor those who make women of themselves, nor who abuse themselves with men,

⁹Moa tsy fantatrareo va fa ny olona tsy marina tsy mba handova ny fanjakan'Andriamanitra? Aza mety hofitahina ianareo: fa ny mpijangajanga sy ny mpanompo sampy sy ny mpaka vadin'olona sy ny sodomita [ Izahao Lev.18.22]

¹⁰nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor abusive persons, nor [the] rapacious, shall inherit [the] kingdom of God.

¹⁰sy ny mpangalatra sy ny mpierina sy ny mpimamo sy ny mpanaratsy ary ny mpanao an-keriny dia tsy mba handova ny fanjakan'Andriamanitra.

¹¹And these things were some of you; but ye have been washed, but ye have been sanctified, but ye have been justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

¹¹Ary efa mba toy izany ihany ny sasany aminareo, saingy efa voasasa ianareo, efa nohamasinina ianareo, efa nohamarinina ianareo, tamin'ny anaran'i Jesosy Kristy Tompo sy tamin'ny Fanahin'Andriamanitsika. [ Gr. efa nanasa tena]

¹²All things are lawful to me, but all things do not profit; all things are lawful to me, but *I* will not be brought under the power of any.

¹²[Ny amin'ny fijangajangana tsy azo atao ho isan'ny zavatra tsy mampaninona, tahaka ny hanina samy hafa] Ny zavatra rehetra azoko atao, nefa tsy dia ary mahasoa avokoa ny zavatra rehetra; ny zavatra rehetra azoko atao, nefa izaho tsy mety handevozin-javatra na inona na inona.

¹³Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats; but God will bring to nothing both it and them: but the body [is] not for fornication, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.

¹³Ny hanina dia ho an'ny kibo, ary ny kibo ho an'ny hanina; nefa samy holevonin'Andriamanitra izy roroa. Fa ny tena kosa dia tsy ho an'ny fijangajangana, fa ho an'ny Tompo; ary ny Tompo ho an'ny tena.

¹⁴And God has both raised up the Lord, and will raise us up from among [the dead] by his power.

¹⁴Ary Andriamanitra efa nanangana ny Tompo sady hanangana antsika koa amin'ny heriny.

¹⁵Do ye not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then, taking the members of the Christ, make [them] members of a harlot? Far be the thought.

¹⁵Tsy fantatrareo va fa momba ny tena'i Kristy ny tenanareo? Moa hanala ny momba ny tenan'i Kristy va aho ka hanolotra izany ho momba ny tenan'ny vehivavy janga? Sanatria izany!

¹⁶Do ye not know that he [that is] joined to the harlot is one body? for the two, he says, shall be one flesh.

¹⁶Moa tsy fantatrareo va fa izay miray amin'ny vehivavy janga dia tena iray aminy? fa hoy Andriamanitra: Ho nofo iray ihany izy roroa (Gen. 2. 24).

¹⁷But he that [is] joined to the Lord is one Spirit.

¹⁷Fa izay miray amin'ny Tompo kosa dia fanahy iray aminy.

¹⁸Flee fornication. Every sin which a man may practise is without the body, but he that commits fornication sins against his own body.

¹⁸Mandosira ny fijangajangana. Izay fahotana rehetra ataon'ny olona dia eny ivelan'ny tena ihany; fa ny mpijangajanga kosa dia manota mihatra amin'ny tenany.

¹⁹Do ye not know that your body is [the] temple of the Holy Spirit which [is] in you, which ye have of God; and ye are not your own?

¹⁹Ahoana ary? Moa tsy fantatrareo fa ny tenanareo dia tempolin'ny Fanahy Masina, Izay ao anatinareo sady efa azonareo tamin'Andriamanitra? ka tsy tompon'ny tenanareo ianareo.Fa olom-boavidy ianareo, koa dia mankalazà an'Andriamanitra amin'ny tenanareo.

²⁰for ye have been bought with a price: glorify now then God in your body.

²⁰Fa olom-boavidy ianareo, koa dia mankalazà an'Andriamanitra amin'ny tenanareo.
