¹Therefore, having this ministry, as we have had mercy shewn us, we faint not.

¹Ary amin'izany, satria manana izany fanompoana izany izahay, araka ny nahazoanay famindram-po, dia tsy ketraka.

²But we have rejected the hidden things of shame, not walking in deceit, nor falsifying the word of God, but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every conscience of men before God.

²Fa efa nolavinay ny zavatra takona mahamenatra, ka tsy mandeha amin'ny fihendrena, na manatsatso ny tenin'Andriamanitra izahay; fa amin'ny fanehoana ny marina no ideranay tena amin'ny fieritreretan'ny olona rehetra eo imason'Andriamanitra.

³But if also our gospel is veiled, it is veiled in those that are lost;

³Fa raha miafina ny filazantsaranay, dia miafina amin'izay ho very izany,

⁴in whom the god of this world has blinded the thoughts of the unbelieving, so that the radiancy of the glad tidings of the glory of the Christ, who is [the] image of God, should not shine forth [for them].

⁴izay nohajambain'ny andriamanitr'izao tontolo izao, dia ny sain'ny tsy mino, mba tsy hiposahan'ny fahazavan'ny filazantsaran'ny voninahitr'i Kristy, Izay endrik'Andriamanitra.

⁵For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus Lord, and ourselves your bondmen for Jesus' sake.

⁵Fa tsy ny tenanay no torinay, Fa Kristy Jesosy Tompo, ary izahay mpanomponareo noho ny amin'i Jesosy.

⁶Because [it is] the God who spoke that out of darkness light should shine who has shone in our hearts for the shining forth of the knowledge of the glory of God in [the] face of [Jesus] Christ.

⁶Fa Andriamanitra, izay nandidy hoe: Aoka ny mazava hahazava ao amin'ny maizina, no nampahazava ny fonay ho amin'ny fahazavan'ny fahalalana ny voninahitr'Andriamanitra eo amin'ny tavan'i Jesosy Kristy.[Na: hampisehoana]

⁷But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the surpassingness of the power may be of God, and not from us:

⁷Fa manana izao rakitra izao amin'ny vilany tany izahay, mba ho an'Andriamanitra ny halehiben'ny hery, fa tsy ho avy aminay.

⁸every way afflicted, but not straitened; seeing no apparent issue, but our way not entirely shut up;

⁸Voageja manodidina izahay, nefa tsy tery; very hevitra, nefa tsy mamoy fo;

⁹persecuted, but not abandoned; cast down, but not destroyed;

⁹enjehina, nefa tsy nafoy, potraka, nefa tsy maty;

¹⁰always bearing about in the body the dying of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our body;

¹⁰mitondra ny fahafatesan'i Jesosy mandrakariva ao amin'ny tena izahay, mba haseho ao amin'ny tenanay koa ny fiainan'i Jesosy. [Gr. ny famonoanana an']

¹¹for we who live are always delivered unto death on account of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh;

¹¹Fa izahay izay velona dia atolotra ho amin'ny fahafatesana mandrakariva noho ny amin'i Jesosy, mba haseho ao amin'ny nofonay mety maty koa ny fiainan'i Jesosy.

¹²so that death works in us, but life in you.

¹²Koa ny fahafatesana no miasa ao aminay, fa ny fiainana kosa ao aminareo.

¹³And having the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, I have believed, therefore have I spoken; *we* also believe, therefore also we speak;

¹³Ary satria manana izany fanahin'ny finoana izany indrindra izahay, araka ny voasoratra hoe: Nino aho, ka dia niteny (Sal. 116. 10), dia mino koa izahay ka miteny;

¹⁴knowing that he who has raised the Lord Jesus shall raise us also with Jesus, and shall present [us] with you.

¹⁴fa fantatray fa Izay nanangana an'i Jesosy Tompo no hanangana anay koa miaraka aminareo.

¹⁵For all things [are] for your sakes, that the grace abounding through the many may cause thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.

¹⁵Fa ny zavatra rehetra dia natao noho ny aminareo, mba hitomboan'ny fisaorana ho voninahitr'Andriamanitra noho ny fitombon'ny fahasoavana amin'ny maro.

¹⁶Wherefore we faint not; but if indeed our outward man is consumed, yet the inward is renewed day by day.

¹⁶Ary tsy ketraka izahay; fa na dia mihalevona aza ny toetray ivelany, dia havaozina isan'andro isan'andro kosa ny toetray anatiny.[Ny olonay]

¹⁷For our momentary [and] light affliction works for us in surpassing measure an eternal weight of glory;

¹⁷Fa ny fahorianay maivana, izay vetivety foana, dia mainka miasa fatratra indrindra ka mahatanteraka voninahitra mavesatra maharitra mandrakariva ho anay,raha tsy mijery ny hita izahay, fa ny tsy hita; fa ny hita dia ho vetivety foana, fa ny tsy hita no haharitra mandrakizay.

¹⁸while we look not at the things that are seen, but at the things that are not seen; for the things that are seen [are] for a time, but those that are not seen eternal.

¹⁸raha tsy mijery ny hita izahay, fa ny tsy hita; fa ny hita dia ho vetivety foana, fa ny tsy hita no haharitra mandrakizay.
