¹Izao no fanintelon'ny hankanesako atỳ aminareo. Amin'ny tenin'ny vavolombelona roa na telo no hanorenana mafy ny teny rehetra (Deo. 19. 15).

¹This third time do I come unto you; on the mouth of two witnesses or three shall every saying be established;

²Efa nambarako fahiny, sady milaza rahateo koa aho - toy ny nataoko fony mbola teo aminareo fanindroany ihany, ary ankehitriny raha tsy eo kosa - amin'izay nanota teo aloha sy amin'ny sisa rehetra, fa rehefa tonga indray aho, dia tsy hiantra,

²I have said before, and I say [it] before, as being present, the second time, and being absent, now, do I write to those having sinned before, and to all the rest, that if I come again, I will not spare,

³satria ianareo mitady famantarana fa miteny ato anatiko Kristy, Izay tsy malemy aminareo, fa mahery ao aminareo kosa.

³since a proof ye seek of the Christ speaking in me, who to you is not infirm, but is powerful in you,

⁴Fa voahombo tamin'ny hazo fijaliana Izy noho ny fahalemena, nefa velona kosa noho ny herin'Andriamanitra. Fa izahay koa dia malemy ao aminy, nefa hiara-belona aminy ho anareo izahay noho ny herin'Andriamanitra.

⁴for even if he was crucified from infirmity, yet he doth live from the power of God; for we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him from the power of God toward you.

⁵Diniho ny tenanareo, na mitoetra amin'ny finoana ianareo, na tsia; izahao toetra ny tenanareo. Moa tsy fantatrareo va ny amin'ny tenanareo, fa ao anatinareo Jesosy Kristy, raha tsy olona nolavina ianareo ?

⁵Your ownselves try ye, if ye are in the faith; your ownselves prove ye; do ye not know your ownselves, that Jesus Christ is in you, if ye be not in some respect disapproved of?

⁶Nefa manantena aho fa ho fantatrareo fa izahay dia tsy olona nolavina.

⁶and I hope that ye shall know that we — we are not disapproved of;

⁷Ary mangataka amin'Andriamanitra izahay mba tsy hanao izay ratsy ianareo, tsy ny hisehoanay ho olona voazaha toetra anefa, fa ny mba hanaovanareo izay tsara, na dia ho toy ny olona nolavina aza izahay.

⁷and I pray before God that ye do no evil, not that we may appear approved, but that ye may do that which is right, and we may be as disapproved;

⁸Fa tsy mahavita na inona na inona hanohitra ny marina izahay, fa hampandroso ny marina kosa.

⁸for we are not able to do anything against the truth, but for the truth;

⁹Fa faly izahay, raha malemy izahay, fa ianareo no mahery; ary izao no angatahinay, dia ny fanatanterahana anareo.

⁹for we rejoice when we may be infirm, and ye may be powerful; and this also we pray for — your perfection!

¹⁰Izany no anoratako izany zavatra izany, raha tsy eo aminareo aho, fandrao, rehefa tonga aho, dia hanao izay mafy araka ny hery izay nomen'ny Tompo ahy ho fananganana, fa tsy ho fandravana.

¹⁰because of this, these things — being absent — I write, that being present, I may not treat [any] sharply, according to the authority that the Lord did give me for building up, and not for casting down.

¹¹Farany, ry rahalahy, mifalia, aoka ho tanteraka ianareo, mandraisa ny fampiononana, miraisa saina, mihavàna; ary Andriamanitry ny fitiavana sy ny fiadanana ho aminareo.[Na: veloma]

¹¹Henceforth, brethren, rejoice; be made perfect, be comforted, be of the same mind, be at peace, and the God of the love and peace shall be with you;

¹²Mifanaova veloma amin'ny fanorohana masina.

¹²salute one another in an holy kiss;

¹³Ny olona masina rehetra manao veloma anareo.Ho aminareo rehetra anie ny fahasoavan'i Jesosy Kristy Tompo sy ny fitiavan'Andriamanitra ary ny firaisana amin'ny Fanahy Masina.

¹³salute you do all the saints;

¹⁴Ho aminareo rehetra anie ny fahasoavan'i Jesosy Kristy Tompo sy ny fitiavan'Andriamanitra ary ny firaisana amin'ny Fanahy Masina.

¹⁴the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, [is] with you all! Amen.
