¹Enga anie ka mba handefitra amiko amin'ny hadalana kely ianareo, kanefa mandefitra amiko ihany ianareo.[Na: Eny, mandefera]

¹O that ye were bearing with me a little of the folly, but ye also do bear with me:

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.

²for I am zealous for you with zeal of God, for I did betroth you to one husband, a pure virgin, to present to 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.

³and I fear, lest, as the serpent did beguile Eve in his subtilty, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that [is] in the Christ;

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!

⁴for if, indeed, he who is coming doth preach another Jesus whom we did not preach, or another Spirit ye receive which ye did not receive, or other good news which ye did not accept — well were ye bearing [it],

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

⁵for I reckon that I have been nothing behind the very chiefest apostles,

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.

⁶and even if unlearned in word — yet not in knowledge, but in every thing we were made manifest in all things to you.

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

⁷The sin did I do — myself humbling that ye might be exalted, because freely the good news of God I did proclaim to you?

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

⁸other assemblies I did rob, having taken wages, for your ministration;

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.

⁹and being present with you, and having been in want, I was chargeable to no one, for my lack did the brethren supply — having come from Macedonia — and in everything burdenless to you I did keep myself, and will keep.

¹⁰Raha ato anatiko koa ny fahamarinan'i Kristy, dia tsy hisy hahafoana izany reharehako izany any amin'ny tany Akaia.

¹⁰The truth of Christ is in me, because this boasting shall not be stopped in regard to me in the regions of Achaia;

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

¹¹wherefore? because I do not love you? God hath known!

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.

¹²and what I do, I also will do, that I may cut off the occasion of those wishing an occasion, that in that which they boast they may be found according as we also;

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

¹³for those such [are] false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ,

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

¹⁴and no wonder — for even the Adversary doth transform himself into a messenger of light;

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.

¹⁵no great thing, then, if also his ministrants do transform themselves as ministrants of righteousness — whose end shall be according to their works.

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.

¹⁶Again I say, may no one think me to be a fool; and if otherwise, even as a fool receive me, that I also a little may boast.

¹⁷Izao lazaiko izao dia tsy lazaiko araka ny Tompo, fa toa amin'ny fahadalana amin'izao rehareha matoky izao ihany.

¹⁷That which I speak, I speak not according to the Lord, but as in foolishness, in this the confidence of boasting;

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

¹⁸since many boast according to the flesh, I also will boast:

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

¹⁹for gladly do ye bear with the fools — being wise,

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.

²⁰for ye bear, if any one is bringing you under bondage, if any one doth devour, if any one doth take away, if any one doth exalt himself, if any one on the face doth smite you;

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.

²¹in reference to dishonour I speak, how that we were weak, and in whatever any one is bold — in foolishness I say [it] — I also am bold.

²²Hebreo va izy? Izaho koa. Isiraelita va izy? Izaho koa. Taranak'i Abrahama va izy? Izaho koa.

²²Hebrews are they? I also! Israelites are they? I also! seed of Abraham are they? I also!

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.

²³ministrants of Christ are they? — as beside myself I speak — I more; in labours more abundantly, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequently, in deaths many times;

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

²⁴from Jews five times forty [stripes] save one I did receive;

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,

²⁵thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice was I shipwrecked, a night and a day in the deep I have passed;

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,

²⁶journeyings many times, perils of rivers, perils of robbers, perils from kindred, perils from nations, perils in city, perils in wilderness, perils in sea, perils among false brethren;

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.

²⁷in laboriousness and painfulness, in watchings many times, in hunger and thirst, in fastings many times, in cold and nakedness;

²⁸Afa-tsy ireo zavatra ivelany dia mbola misy koa izay mahazo ahy isan'andro, dia ny fiahiana ny fiangonana rehetra.[Na: izany rehetra izany]

²⁸apart from the things without — the crowding upon me that is daily — the care of all the assemblies.

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

²⁹Who is infirm, and I am not infirm? who is stumbled, and I am not fired;

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

³⁰if to boast it behoveth [me], of the things of my infirmity I will boast;

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

³¹the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ — who is blessed to the ages — hath known that I do not lie! —

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.

³²In Damascus the ethnarch of Aretas the king was watching the city of the Damascenes, wishing to seize me,

³³fa 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 rope basket I was let down, through the wall, and fled out of his hands.
