¹Would that ye would bear with me [in] a little folly; but 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 as to you with a jealousy [which is] of God; for I have espoused you unto one man, to present [you] 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 deceived Eve by his craft, [so] your thoughts should be corrupted from simplicity as to the 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 indeed he that comes preaches another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or ye get a different Spirit, which ye have not got, or a different glad tidings, which ye have not received, ye might well bear with [it].

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 reckon that in nothing I am behind those who are in surpassing degree apostles.

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

⁶But if [I am] a simple person in speech, yet not in knowledge, but in everything making [the truth] manifest in all things to you.

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 sin, abasing myself in order that *ye* might be exalted, because I gratuitously announced to you the glad tidings of God?

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

⁸I spoiled other assemblies, receiving hire for ministry towards you.

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

⁹And being present with you and lacking, I did not lazily burden any one, (for the brethren who came from Macedonia supplied what I lacked,) and in everything I kept myself from being a burden to you, and will 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.

¹⁰[The] truth of Christ is in me that this boasting shall not be stopped as to me 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.

¹¹Why? because I do not love you? God knows.

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

¹²But what I do, I will also do, that I may cut off the opportunity of those wishing [for] an opportunity, that wherein they boast 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 apostles of Christ.

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

¹⁴And [it is] not wonderful, for Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light.

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

¹⁵It is no great thing therefore if his ministers also transform themselves as 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.

¹⁶Again I say, Let not any one think me to be a fool; but if otherwise, receive me then even as a fool, that *I* also may boast myself some 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.

¹⁷What I speak I do not speak according to [the] Lord, but as in folly, 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.

¹⁸Since many boast according to flesh, *I* also will boast.

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

¹⁹For ye bear fools readily, being wise.

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

²⁰For ye bear if any one bring you into bondage, if any one devour [you], if any one get [your money], if any one exalt himself, if any one beat 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 to dishonour, as though *we* had been weak; but wherein any one is daring, (I speak in folly,) *I* also am daring.

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? *I* also. Are they Israelites? *I* also. Are they seed of Abraham? *I* also.

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 being beside myself) *I* above measure [so]; in labours exceedingly abundant, in stripes to excess, in prisons exceedingly abundant, 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.

²⁴From the Jews five times have I received forty [stripes], save one.

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

²⁵Thrice have I been scourged, once I have been stoned, three times I have suffered shipwreck, a night and day I passed 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 rivers, in perils of robbers, in perils from [my own] race, in perils from [the] nations, in perils in [the] city, in perils in [the] desert, in perils on [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 labour and toil, 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.

²⁸Besides those things that are without, the crowd [of cares] pressing on me daily, the burden of all the assemblies.

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 stumbled, and I burn not?

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

³⁰If it is needful to boast, I will boast in the things which concern my infirmity.

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

³¹The God and Father of the Lord Jesus knows -- he who is blessed for ever -- that I do not lie.

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

³²In Damascus the ethnarch of Aretas the king kept the city of the Damascenes shut up, wishing to take 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 I was 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.
