¹[Fitarihan-teny sy fiarahabana ary fisaorana] Paoly, voantso ho Apostolin'i Jesosy Kristy noho ny sitrapon'Andriamanitra, ary Sostena rahalahy,

¹Paul, a called apostle of Jesus Christ, through the will of God, and Sosthenes the brother,

²mamangy ny fiangonan'Andriamanitra any Korinto, dia izay nohamasinina ao amin'i Kristy Jesosy, olona voantso sady masina, mbamin'izay rehetra miantso ny anaran'i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika eny amin'ny tany rehetra, dia azy sy antsika:

²to the assembly of God that is in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus, called saints, with all those calling upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place — both theirs and ours:

³ho aminareo anie ny fahasoavana sy ny fiadanana avy amin'Andriamanitra Raintsika sy Jesosy Kristy Tompo.

³Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!

⁴Misaotra an'Andriamanitro mandrakariva ny aminareo aho noho ny fahasoavan'Andriamanitra izay nomena anareo ao amin'i Kristy Jesosy,

⁴I give thanks to my God always concerning you for the grace of God that was given to you in Christ Jesus,

⁵dia ny nampananana harena anareo ao aminy amin'ny zavatra rehetra, na ny teny rehetra, na ny fahalalana rehetra,

⁵that in every thing ye were enriched in him, in all discourse and all knowledge,

⁶araka ny niorenan'ny filazana an'i Kristy teo aminareo,

⁶according as the testimony of the Christ was confirmed in you,

⁷ka dia tsy latsaka amin'ny fanomezam-pahasoavana rehetra ianareo, miandry ny fisehoan'i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika,

⁷so that ye are not behind in any gift, waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ,

⁸Izay hampiorina anareo koa hatramin'ny farany, ka dia tsy hanan-tsiny ianareo amin'ny andron'i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika.

⁸who also shall confirm you unto the end — unblamable in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ;

⁹Mahatoky Andriamanitra, Izay nahatonga ny fiantsoana anareo hanananareo firaisana amin'ny Zanany, dia Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika.

⁹faithful [is] God, through whom ye were called to the fellowship of His Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

¹⁰[Anatra noho ny fifampiandanian'ny fiangonana tao Korinto, sy filazana ny amin'ny nitorian'Paoly ny filazantsara] Ary mananatra anareo aho, ry rahalahy, amin'ny anaran'i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika, mba hiray teny ianareo rehetra, ka tsy hisy fisarahana eo aminareo, fa mba ho tafakambana tsara ianareo hiray saina sy hevitra.

¹⁰And I call upon you, brethren, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that the same thing ye may all say, and there may not be divisions among you, and ye may be perfected in the same mind, and in the same judgment,

¹¹Fa efa voalazan'ny avy amin'ny ankohonan'i Kloa tamiko ny amin'ny toetrareo, ry rahalahiko, fa misy fifampiandaniana eo aminareo.

¹¹for it was signified to me concerning you, my brethren, by those of Chloe, that contentions are among you;

¹²Izao anefa no anaovako izany: Hianareo samy manao hoe: Izaho an'i Paoly, na: Izaho an'i Apolosy, na: Izaho an'i Kefasy, na: Izaho an'i Kristy.

¹²and I say this, that each one of you saith, `I, indeed, am of Paul` — `and I of Apollos,` — `and I of Cephas,` — `and I of Christ.`

¹³Voazarazara va Kristy? Paoly va no voahombo tamin'ny hazo fijaliana hamonjy anareo, sa ho amin'ny anaran'i Paoly no nanaovam-batisa anareo?

¹³Hath the Christ been divided? was Paul crucified for you? or to the name of Paul were ye baptized;

¹⁴Misaotra an'Andriamanitra aho fa tsy nisy nataoko batisa ianareo afa-tsy Krispo sy Gaio,

¹⁴I give thanks to God that no one of you did I baptize, except Crispus and Gaius —

¹⁵fandrao misy milaza fa efa natao batisa ho amin'ny anarako ianareo.

¹⁵that no one may say that to my own name I did baptize;

¹⁶Nefa mba efa nanao batisa ny ankohonan'i Stefanasy koa aho; afa-tsy ireo dia tsy hitako izay nataoko batisa.

¹⁶and I did baptize also Stephanas` household — further, I have not known if I did baptize any other.

¹⁷Fa Kristy tsy naniraka ahy hanao batisa, fa hitory ny filazantsara, tsy tamin'ny teny fahendrena, fandrao ho foana ny hazo fijalian'i Kristy.

¹⁷For Christ did not send me to baptize, but — to proclaim good news; not in wisdom of discourse, that the cross of the Christ may not be made of none effect;

¹⁸Fa ny teny ny amin'ny hazo fijaliana dia fahadalana amin'izay ho very, fa herin'Andriamanitra kosa amintsika izay hovonjena.

¹⁸for the word of the cross to those indeed perishing is foolishness, and to us — those being saved — it is the power of God,

¹⁹Fa voasoratra hoe: Hofoanako ny fahendren'ny hendry, Ary holaviko ny fahalalan'ny mahalala (Isa. 29. 14).

¹⁹for it hath been written, `I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the intelligence of the intelligent I will bring to nought;`

²⁰Aiza ny hendry? Aiza ny mpanora-dalàna? Aiza ny mpiady hevitra avy amin'izao tontolo izao? Tsy nampodin'Andriamanitra ho fahadalana va ny fahendren'izao tontolo izao?

²⁰where [is] the wise? where the scribe? where a disputer of this age? did not God make foolish the wisdom of this world?

²¹Fa satria, na dia naseho aza ny fahendren'Andriamanitra, ny fahendrena dia tsy nahatonga izao tontolo izao hahalala an'Andriamanitra, ka dia ny fahadalan'ny fitorian-teny no sitrak'Andriamanitra hamonjeny izay mino; [ Na: Fa noho ny fahendren'Andriamanitra]

²¹for, seeing in the wisdom of God the world through the wisdom knew not God, it did please God through the foolishness of the preaching to save those believing.

²²fa ny Jiosy mila famantarana, ary ny jentilisa mitady fahendrena, [ Gr. Grika]

²²Since also Jews ask a sign, and Greeks seek wisdom,

²³fa izahay kosa mitory an'i Kristy voahombo tamin'ny hazo fijaliana, dia fahatafintohinana amin'ny Jiosy ary fahadalana amin'ny jentilisa, [ Gr. Grika]

²³also we — we preach Christ crucified, to Jews, indeed, a stumbling-block, and to Greeks foolishness,

²⁴fa amin'izay voantso kosa, na Jiosy na jentilisa, dia Kristy, Izay herin'Andriamanitra sy fahendren'Andriamanitra. [ Gr. Grika]

²⁴and to those called — both Jews and Greeks — Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God,

²⁵Fa ny fahadalan'Andriamanitra dia hendry noho ny olona; ary ny fahalemen'Andriamanitra mahery noho ny olona.

²⁵because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men;

²⁶Fa hevero ny fiantsoana anareo, ry rahalahy, fa tsy firy no olon-kendry araka ny nofo, tsy firy no olona mahery, tsy firy no avo razana;

²⁶for see your calling, brethren, that not many [are] wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble;

²⁷fa ny adala amin'izao tontolo izao no nofidin'Andriamanitra hampahamenatra ny hendry; ary ny malemy amin'izao tontolo izao no nofidin'Andriamanitra hampahamenatra ny mahery;

²⁷but the foolish things of the world did God choose, that the wise He may put to shame; and the weak things of the world did God choose that He may put to shame the strong;

²⁸ary ny iva razana amin'izao tontolo izao sy izay fanevateva no nofidin'Andriamanitra, dia ny atao ho tsy misy aza, mba hahafoana ny misy,

²⁸and the base things of the world, and the things despised did God choose, and the things that are not, that the things that are He may make useless —

²⁹mba tsy hisy nofo hahazo mirehareha eo anatrehan'Andriamanitra.

²⁹that no flesh may glory before Him;

³⁰Fa avy aminy no nanaovana anareo ho ao amin'i Kristy Jesosy, Izay nataon'Andriamanitra fahendrena sy fahamarinana sy fahamasinana ary fanavotana ho antsika,mba ho araka ny voasoratra hoe: Izay mirehareha, aoka Jehovah no ho reharehany (Jery. 9. 23).

³⁰and of Him ye — ye are in Christ Jesus, who became to us from God wisdom, righteousness also, and sanctification, and redemption,

³¹mba ho araka ny voasoratra hoe: Izay mirehareha, aoka Jehovah no ho reharehany (Jery. 9. 23).

³¹that, according as it hath been written, `He who is glorying — in the Lord let him glory.`
