¹Dare any of you, having a matter against his neighbor, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints?

¹[Ny tsy mahamety ny miady eo anatrehan'ny tsy mino] Misy aminareo va, raha manana ady amin'ny namany, sahy handeha hotsarain'ny olona tsy marina, fa tsy eo anatrehan'ny olona masina?

²Don’t you know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters?

²Sa tsy fantatrareo fa ny olona masina dia hitsara izao tontolo izao? Ary raha hitsara izao tontolo izao ianareo, moa tsy miendrika hitsara izay zavatra madinika indrindra va ianareo?

³Don’t you know that we will judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life?

³Tsy fantatrareo va fa hitsara anjely isika? mainka fa izay zavatra momba izao fiainana izao.

⁴If then, you have to judge things pertaining to this life, do you set them to judge who are of no account in the assembly?

⁴Koa raha misy hotsarainareo ny amin'ny momba izao fiainana izao, moa izay ataon'ny fiangonana ho tsinontsinona va no tendrenareo ho mpitsara?

⁵I say this to move you to shame. Isn’t there even one wise man among you who would be able to decide between his brothers?

⁵Hampahamenatra anareo no itenenako izany. Hay! dia tsy misy olon-kendry aminareo, na dia iray akory aza, izay mahay manamboatra ny adin'ny rahalahiny?

⁶But brother goes to law with brother, and that before unbelievers!

⁶Fa ny rahalahy mandeha hiady amin'ny rahalahiny, na dia hotsarain'ny tsy mino aza.

⁷Therefore it is already altogether a defect in you, that you have lawsuits one with another. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded?

⁷Ary ankehitriny dia kilema aminareo ny anananareo ady amin'ny namanareo. Nahoana no tsy aleo mandefitra ny tsy rariny aza ianareo? Nahoana no tsy aleo maharitra hambakaina aza ianareo? [ Na: matiantoka mihitsy ny fanahinareo, raha manana]

⁸No, but you yourselves do wrong, and defraud, and that against your brothers.

⁸Kanjo ianareo indray no manao izay tsy marina ka manambaka na dia ny rahalahinareo aza.

⁹Or don’t you know that the unrighteous will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don’t be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals,

⁹Moa tsy fantatrareo va fa ny olona tsy marina tsy mba handova ny fanjakan'Andriamanitra? Aza mety hofitahina ianareo: fa ny mpijangajanga sy ny mpanompo sampy sy ny mpaka vadin'olona sy ny sodomita [ Izahao Lev.18.22]

¹⁰nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor extortioners, will inherit the Kingdom of God.

¹⁰sy ny mpangalatra sy ny mpierina sy ny mpimamo sy ny mpanaratsy ary ny mpanao an-keriny dia tsy mba handova ny fanjakan'Andriamanitra.

¹¹Such were some of you, but you were washed. But you were sanctified. But you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God.

¹¹Ary efa mba toy izany ihany ny sasany aminareo, saingy efa voasasa ianareo, efa nohamasinina ianareo, efa nohamarinina ianareo, tamin'ny anaran'i Jesosy Kristy Tompo sy tamin'ny Fanahin'Andriamanitsika. [ Gr. efa nanasa tena]

¹²“All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are expedient. “All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be brought under the power of anything.

¹²[Ny amin'ny fijangajangana tsy azo atao ho isan'ny zavatra tsy mampaninona, tahaka ny hanina samy hafa] Ny zavatra rehetra azoko atao, nefa tsy dia ary mahasoa avokoa ny zavatra rehetra; ny zavatra rehetra azoko atao, nefa izaho tsy mety handevozin-javatra na inona na inona.

¹³“Foods for the belly, and the belly for foods,” but God will bring to nothing both it and them. But the body is not for sexual immorality, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.

¹³Ny hanina dia ho an'ny kibo, ary ny kibo ho an'ny hanina; nefa samy holevonin'Andriamanitra izy roroa. Fa ny tena kosa dia tsy ho an'ny fijangajangana, fa ho an'ny Tompo; ary ny Tompo ho an'ny tena.

¹⁴Now God raised up the Lord, and will also raise us up by his power.

¹⁴Ary Andriamanitra efa nanangana ny Tompo sady hanangana antsika koa amin'ny heriny.

¹⁵Don’t you know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them members of a prostitute? May it never be!

¹⁵Tsy fantatrareo va fa momba ny tena'i Kristy ny tenanareo? Moa hanala ny momba ny tenan'i Kristy va aho ka hanolotra izany ho momba ny tenan'ny vehivavy janga? Sanatria izany!

¹⁶Or don’t you know that he who is joined to a prostitute is one body? For, “The two,” says he, “will become one flesh.” Genesis 2:24

¹⁶Moa tsy fantatrareo va fa izay miray amin'ny vehivavy janga dia tena iray aminy? fa hoy Andriamanitra: Ho nofo iray ihany izy roroa (Gen. 2. 24).

¹⁷But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit.

¹⁷Fa izay miray amin'ny Tompo kosa dia fanahy iray aminy.

¹⁸Flee sexual immorality! “Every sin that a man does is outside the body,” but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.

¹⁸Mandosira ny fijangajangana. Izay fahotana rehetra ataon'ny olona dia eny ivelan'ny tena ihany; fa ny mpijangajanga kosa dia manota mihatra amin'ny tenany.

¹⁹Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which you have from God? You are not your own,

¹⁹Ahoana ary? Moa tsy fantatrareo fa ny tenanareo dia tempolin'ny Fanahy Masina, Izay ao anatinareo sady efa azonareo tamin'Andriamanitra? ka tsy tompon'ny tenanareo ianareo.Fa olom-boavidy ianareo, koa dia mankalazà an'Andriamanitra amin'ny tenanareo.

²⁰for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.

²⁰Fa olom-boavidy ianareo, koa dia mankalazà an'Andriamanitra amin'ny tenanareo.
