¹[Ny amin'ny raharahan'ny mpitoriteny, sy ny mbola hizahan-toetra azy] Ary izaho, ry rahalahy, tsy nahazo niteny taminareo tahaka ny amin'izay araka ny Fanahy, fa tahaka ny amin'izay mbola nofo, dia tahaka izay mbola zaza ihany ao amin'i Kristy.

¹And I, brethren, was not able to speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly — as to babes in Christ;

²Ronono no nomeko anareo, fa tsy ventin-kanina, satria tsy mbola natanjaka ianareo; eny, mbola tsy matanjaka mandraka ankehitriny aza,

²with milk I fed you, and not with meat, for ye were not yet able, but not even yet are ye now able,

³fa mbola araka ny nofo ihany ianareo. Fa raha misy fialonana sy fifandirana eo aminareo, tsy araka ny nofo va ianareo ka mandeha araka ny fanaon'ny olona?

³for yet ye are fleshly, for where [there is] among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not fleshly, and in the manner of men do walk?

⁴Fa raha hoy ny anankiray: Izaho an'i Paoly, ary ny anankiray kosa: Izaho an'i Apolosy, moa tsy olona ihany va ianareo?

⁴for when one may say, `I, indeed, am of Paul;` and another, `I — of Apollos;` are ye not fleshly?

⁵Koa inona moa Apolosy, ary inona moa Paoly? Mpanompo ihany izay nahatonga anareo ho mpino ireo, dia samy araka ny nomen'ny Tompo azy avy.

⁵Who, then, is Paul, and who Apollos, but ministrants through whom ye did believe, and to each as the Lord gave?

⁶Izaho namboly, Apolosy nandena, fa Andriamanitra no nampitombo.

⁶I planted, Apollos watered, but God was giving growth;

⁷Ka dia tsinontsinona izay mamboly, na izay mandena, fa Andriamanitra Izay mampitombo no izy.

⁷so that neither is he who is planting anything, nor he who is watering, but He who is giving growth — God;

⁸Ary iray ihany ny mpamboly sy ny mpandena; nefa samy handray izay valim-pitiany avy araka ny fisasarany izy.

⁸and he who is planting and he who is watering are one, and each his own reward shall receive, according to his own labour,

⁹Fa mpiara-miasa amin'Andriamanitra izahay; ary sahan'Andriamanitra sy trano arafitr'Andriamanitra ianareo.

⁹for of God we are fellow-workmen; God`s tillage, God`s building ye are.

¹⁰Araka ny fahasoavan'Andriamanitra nomena ahy, tahaka ny fanaon'ny mpità-marika mahay no nanaovako ny fanorenana, ary ny hafa mandrafitra eo amboniny; nefa aoka ny olona rehetra hitandrina izay arafiny eo amboniny.

¹⁰According to the grace of God that was given to me, as a wise master-builder, a foundation I have laid, and another doth build on [it],

¹¹Fa tsy misy mahay manao fanorenana hafa afa-tsy izay natao, dia Jesosy Kristy.

¹¹for other foundation no one is able to lay except that which is laid, which is Jesus the Christ;

¹²Ary raha misy mandrafitra volamena, na volafotsy, na vato tsara, na hazo, na bozaka, na mololo, eo ambonin'ny fanorenana,

¹²and if any one doth build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw —

¹³dia haseho avokoa ny asan'ny olona rehetra; fa ny andro no hampiseho azy, satria haseho amin'afo izany andro izany, ka dia hozahan-toetra, amin'ny afo ny asan'ny olona rehetra. [ Na: izany]

¹³of each the work shall become manifest, for the day shall declare [it], because in fire it is revealed, and the work of each, what kind it is, the fire shall prove;

¹⁴Raha maharitra ny asan'ny olona, izay narafiny teo amboniny, dia handray valim-pitia izy.

¹⁴if of any one the work doth remain that he built on [it], a wage he shall receive;

¹⁵Raha ho levon'ny afo ny asan'ny olona, dia ho fatiantoka izy; fa ny tenany kosa dia hovonjena, nefa toy ny avy ao amin'ny afo ihany izy.

¹⁵if of any the work is burned up, he shall suffer loss; and himself shall be saved, but so as through fire.

¹⁶Tsy fantatrareo va fa tempolin'Andriamanitra ianareo, ary ny Fanahin'Andriamanitra mitoetra no anatinareo?

¹⁶have ye not known that ye are a sanctuary of God, and the Spirit of God doth dwell in you?

¹⁷Raha misy manimba ny tempolin'Andriamanitra, dia mba hosimban'Andriamanitra kosa izy; fa masina ny tempolin'Andriamanitra, dia ianareo izany. [ Na: dia masina koa ianareo]

¹⁷if any one the sanctuary of God doth waste, him shall God waste; for the sanctuary of God is holy, the which ye are.

¹⁸Aza misy mamita-tena. Raha misy eo aminareo manao azy ho hendry amin'izao tontolo izao, aoka ho adala izy mba ho hendry.

¹⁸Let no one deceive himself; if any one doth seem to be wise among you in this age — let him become a fool, that he may become wise,

¹⁹Fa ny fahendren'izao tontolo izao dia fahadalana eo anatrehan'Andriamanitra; fa voasoratra hoe: Ny hafetsen'ny hendry ihany no entiny misambotra azy (Joba 5. 13).

¹⁹for the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God, for it hath been written, `Who is taking the wise in their craftiness;`

²⁰Ary indray: Jehovah no mahalala ny hevitry ny hendry fa zava-poana izany (Sal. 94. 11)

²⁰and again, `The Lord doth know the reasonings of the wise, that they are vain.`

²¹Ka dia aza misy manao olona ho reharehany; fa anareo ny zavatra rehetra:

²¹So then, let no one glory in men, for all things are yours,

²²na Paoly, na Apolosy, na Kefasy, na izao tontolo izao, na fiainana, na fahafatesana, na ny zavatra ankehitriny, na ny zavatra ho avy; dia anareo izany rehetra izany;ary ianareo an'i Kristy ary Kristy an'Andriamanitra.

²²whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things about to be — all are yours,

²³ary ianareo an'i Kristy ary Kristy an'Andriamanitra.

²³and ye [are] Christ`s, and Christ [is] God`s.
