1Paul, apostle of Jesus Christ by God's will, and the brother Timotheus, to the assembly of God which is in Corinth, with all the saints who are in the whole of Achaia.
1[Fiarahabana sy fisaorana nataon'i Paoly noho ny nampiononan'Andriamanitra azy. Ny amin'ny nahasampona an'i Paoly tsy hankany Makedonia, sy hafatra ny amin'ny handraisana ilay efa nesorina, ary fisaoran'i Paoly an'Andriamanitra noho ny nitahiany ny tori-teniny] Paoly, Apostolin'i Kristy Jesosy noho ny sitrapon'Andriamanitra, ary Timoty rahalahy, mamangy ny fiangonan'Andriamanitra izay any Korinto mbamin'ny olona masina rehetra eran'i Akaia:
2Grace to you, and peace from God our Father, and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.
2ho aminareo anie ny fahasoavana sy ny fiadanana avy amin'Andriamanitra Raintsika sy Jesosy Kristy Tompo.
3Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassions, and God of all encouragement;
3Isaorana anie Andriamanitra, Rain'i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika, Rain'ny famindram-po sady Andriamanitry ny fampiononana rehetra,
4who encourages us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to encourage those who are in any tribulation whatever, through the encouragement with which we ourselves are encouraged of God.
4Izay mampionona anay amin'ny fahorianay rehetra mba hahaizanay mampionona izay rehetra mitondra fahoriana kosa, anin'ny fampiononana izay ampiononan'Andriamanitra anay.
5Because, even as the sufferings of the Christ abound towards us, so through the Christ does our encouragement also abound.
5Fa araka ny haben'ny fijalian'i Kristy mihatra aminay no haben'ny fampiononana anay kosa amin'ny alalan'i Kristy.
6But whether we are in tribulation, [it is] for your encouragement and salvation, wrought in the endurance of the same sufferings which *we* also suffer,
6Ary raha ampahorina izahay, dia ho fampiononana sy famonjena anareo izany; ary raha ampiononina izahay, dia ho fampiononana anareo izany, ka miasa amin'ny fiaretanareo fahoriana mitovy indrindra amin'izay entinay.
7(and our hope for you [is] sure;) or whether we are encouraged, [it is] for your encouragement and salvation: knowing that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so also of the encouragement.
7Ary miorina tsara ny fanantenanay anareo, satria fantatray fa tahaka ny iombonanareo ny fahoriana no iombonanareo ny fampiononana koa.
8For we do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, as to our tribulation which happened [to us] in Asia, that we were excessively pressed beyond [our] power, so as to despair even of living.
8Fa tsy tianay tsy ho fantatrareo, ry rahalahy, ny amin'ny fahoriana izay nanjo anay tany Asia, fa novesarana indrindra mihoatra noho ny zakanay izahay, ka dia efa nafoinay na dia ny ainay aza;
9But we ourselves had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not have our trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead;
9eny, tsy nanampo izay ho velona intsony izahay, mba tsy hitokianay amin'ny tenanay, fa amin'Andriamanitra, Izay manangana ny maty ihany.
10who has delivered us from so great a death, and does deliver; in whom we confide that he will also yet deliver;
10Ary Izy no nahafaka anay tamin'izao fahafatesana lehibe izao, ary mbola hanafaka ihany; eny, Izy no antenainay fa mbola hanafaka anay koa,
11ye also labouring together by supplication for us that the gift towards us, through means of many persons, may be the subject of the thanksgiving of many for us.
11satria ianareo koa miara-miasa ho anay amin'ny fivavahanareo mba hisaoran'ny maro ny aminay noho ny fahasoavana azonay tamin'ny nataon'ny maro.
12For our boasting is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and sincerity before God, (not in fleshly wisdom but in God's grace,) we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly towards you.
12Fa izao no ataonay ho voninahitray: ny fieritreretanay no vavolombelona fa tamin'ny fahamasinana sy ny fahadiovam-po avy amin'Andriamanitra, tsy tamin'ny fahendren'ny nofo, fa tamin'ny fahasoavan'Andriamanitra, no nitondranay tena teo amin'izao tontolo izao, mainka fa teo aminareo.
13For we do not write other things to you but what ye well know and recognise; and I hope that ye will recognise to the end,
13Fa tsy manoratra teny hafa aminareo izahay, afa-tsy izay vakinareo na izay fantatrareo; ary manantena aho fa mbola ho fantatrareo ihany hatramin'ny farany aza,
14even as also ye have recognised us in part, that we are your boast, even as *ye* [are] ours in the day of the Lord Jesus.
14toy ny efa fantapantatrareo ihany fa voninahitrareo izahay, dia tahaka anareo kosa no voninahitray amin'ny andron'i Jesosy Tompontsika.
15And with this confidence I purposed to come to you previously, that ye might have a second favour;
15Ary tamin'izao fahatokiana izao dia nikasa hankatỳ aminareo aloha aho (mba hahazoanareo soa fanindroany),
16and to pass through to Macedonia by you, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and to be set forward by you to Judaea.
16ary hankany Makedonia aho, raha avy atỳ aminareo, ary dia vao hiverina ho atỳ aminareo indray raha avy any Makedonia, ary mba haterinareo ho any Jodia.
17Having therefore this purpose, did I then use lightness? Or what I purpose, do I purpose according to flesh, that there should be with me yea yea, and nay nay?
17Koa raha nikasa izany aho, moa nanao kitoatoa va aho? Ary izay zavatra kasaiko, moa kasaiko araka ny nofo va, mba hanaovako eny eny foana, sy tsia tsia foana?
18Now God [is] faithful, that our word to you is not yea and nay.
18Fa raha mahatoky koa Andriamanitra, ny teninay taminareo dia tsy eny sy tsia;
19For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, he who has been preached by us among you (by me and Silvanus and Timotheus), did not become yea and nay, but yea *is* in him.
19fa ny Zanak'Andriamanitra, dia Jesosy Kristy, Izay notorinay teo aminareo, dia izaho sy Silasy ary Timoty, dia tsy eny sy tsia, fa ao aminy dia eny ihany.
20For whatever promises of God [there are], in him is the yea, and in him the amen, for glory to God by us.
20Fa na firy na firy ny teny fikasan'Andriamanitra, dia ao aminy ny eny, ary amin'ny alalany koa ny Amena, ho voninahitr'Andriamanitra amin'ny ataonay.
21Now he that establishes us with you in Christ, and has anointed us, [is] God,
21Fa Izay mampitoetra anay mbaminareo ao amin'i Kristy sady nanosotra antsika dia Andriamanitra,
22who also has sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.
22Izay nanisy tombo-kase antsika koa ka nanome ny Fanahy ho santatra ato am-pontsika.
23But I call God to witness upon my soul that to spare you I have not yet come to Corinth.
23Ary izaho miantso an'Andriamanitra ho vavolombelona ny amin'ny fanahiko, fa ny fialàko nenina aminareo ihany no tsy mbola nankanesako tatỳ Korinto.Kanefa tsy mihambo ho tompon'ny finoanareo izahay, fa mpiara-miasa hampandroso ny fifalianareo, satria finoana no itoeranareo.
24Not that we rule over your faith, but are fellow-workmen of your joy: for by faith ye stand.
24Kanefa tsy mihambo ho tompon'ny finoanareo izahay, fa mpiara-miasa hampandroso ny fifalianareo, satria finoana no itoeranareo.
