¹Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother, to the assembly of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in the whole of Achaia:

¹[Fiarahabana sy fisaorana nataon'i Paoly noho ny nampiononan'Andriamanitra azy. Ny amin'ny nahasampona an'i Paoly tsy hankany Makedonia, sy hafatra ny amin'ny handraisana ilay efa nesorina, ary fisaoran'i Paoly an'Andriamanitra noho ny nitahiany ny tori-teniny] Paoly, Apostolin'i Kristy Jesosy noho ny sitrapon'Andriamanitra, ary Timoty rahalahy, mamangy ny fiangonan'Andriamanitra izay any Korinto mbamin'ny olona masina rehetra eran'i Akaia:

²Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

²ho aminareo anie ny fahasoavana sy ny fiadanana avy amin'Andriamanitra Raintsika sy Jesosy Kristy Tompo.

³Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort;

³Isaorana anie Andriamanitra, Rain'i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika, Rain'ny famindram-po sady Andriamanitry ny fampiononana rehetra,

⁴who comforts us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

⁴Izay mampionona anay amin'ny fahorianay rehetra mba hahaizanay mampionona izay rehetra mitondra fahoriana kosa, anin'ny fampiononana izay ampiononan'Andriamanitra anay.

⁵For as the sufferings of Christ abound to us, even so our comfort also abounds through Christ.

⁵Fa araka ny haben'ny fijalian'i Kristy mihatra aminay no haben'ny fampiononana anay kosa amin'ny alalan'i Kristy.

⁶But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation. If we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer.

⁶Ary raha ampahorina izahay, dia ho fampiononana sy famonjena anareo izany; ary raha ampiononina izahay, dia ho fampiononana anareo izany, ka miasa amin'ny fiaretanareo fahoriana mitovy indrindra amin'izay entinay.

⁷Our hope for you is steadfast, knowing that, since you are partakers of the sufferings, so also are you of the comfort.

⁷Ary miorina tsara ny fanantenanay anareo, satria fantatray fa tahaka ny iombonanareo ny fahoriana no iombonanareo ny fampiononana koa.

⁸For we don’t desire to have you uninformed, brothers, The word for “brothers” here and where context allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.” concerning our affliction which happened to us in Asia, that we were weighed down exceedingly, beyond our power, so much that we despaired even of life.

⁸Fa tsy tianay tsy ho fantatrareo, ry rahalahy, ny amin'ny fahoriana izay nanjo anay tany Asia, fa novesarana indrindra mihoatra noho ny zakanay izahay, ka dia efa nafoinay na dia ny ainay aza;

⁹Yes, we ourselves have had the sentence of death within ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead,

⁹eny, tsy nanampo izay ho velona intsony izahay, mba tsy hitokianay amin'ny tenanay, fa amin'Andriamanitra, Izay manangana ny maty ihany.

¹⁰who delivered us out of so great a death, and does deliver; on whom we have set our hope that he will also still deliver us;

¹⁰Ary Izy no nahafaka anay tamin'izao fahafatesana lehibe izao, ary mbola hanafaka ihany; eny, Izy no antenainay fa mbola hanafaka anay koa,

¹¹you also helping together on our behalf by your supplication; that, for the gift bestowed on us by means of many, thanks may be given by many persons on your behalf.

¹¹satria ianareo koa miara-miasa ho anay amin'ny fivavahanareo mba hisaoran'ny maro ny aminay noho ny fahasoavana azonay tamin'ny nataon'ny maro.

¹²For our boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience, that in holiness and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God we behaved ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward you.

¹²Fa izao no ataonay ho voninahitray: ny fieritreretanay no vavolombelona fa tamin'ny fahamasinana sy ny fahadiovam-po avy amin'Andriamanitra, tsy tamin'ny fahendren'ny nofo, fa tamin'ny fahasoavan'Andriamanitra, no nitondranay tena teo amin'izao tontolo izao, mainka fa teo aminareo.

¹³For we write no other things to you, than what you read or even acknowledge, and I hope you will acknowledge to the end;

¹³Fa tsy manoratra teny hafa aminareo izahay, afa-tsy izay vakinareo na izay fantatrareo; ary manantena aho fa mbola ho fantatrareo ihany hatramin'ny farany aza,

¹⁴as also you acknowledged us in part, that we are your boasting, even as you also are ours, in the day of our Lord Jesus.

¹⁴toy ny efa fantapantatrareo ihany fa voninahitrareo izahay, dia tahaka anareo kosa no voninahitray amin'ny andron'i Jesosy Tompontsika.

¹⁵In this confidence, I was determined to come first to you, that you might have a second benefit;

¹⁵Ary tamin'izao fahatokiana izao dia nikasa hankatỳ aminareo aloha aho (mba hahazoanareo soa fanindroany),

¹⁶and by you to pass into Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and to be sent forward by you on my journey to Judea.

¹⁶ary hankany Makedonia aho, raha avy atỳ aminareo, ary dia vao hiverina ho atỳ aminareo indray raha avy any Makedonia, ary mba haterinareo ho any Jodia.

¹⁷When I therefore was thus determined, did I show fickleness? Or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be the “Yes, yes” and the “No, no?”

¹⁷Koa raha nikasa izany aho, moa nanao kitoatoa va aho? Ary izay zavatra kasaiko, moa kasaiko araka ny nofo va, mba hanaovako eny eny foana, sy tsia tsia foana?

¹⁸But as God is faithful, our word toward you was not “Yes and no.”

¹⁸Fa raha mahatoky koa Andriamanitra, ny teninay taminareo dia tsy eny sy tsia;

¹⁹For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, by me, Silvanus, and Timothy, was not “Yes and no,” but in him is “Yes.”

¹⁹fa ny Zanak'Andriamanitra, dia Jesosy Kristy, Izay notorinay teo aminareo, dia izaho sy Silasy ary Timoty, dia tsy eny sy tsia, fa ao aminy dia eny ihany.

²⁰For however many are the promises of God, in him is the “Yes.” Therefore also through him is the “Amen,” to the glory of God through us.

²⁰Fa na firy na firy ny teny fikasan'Andriamanitra, dia ao aminy ny eny, ary amin'ny alalany koa ny Amena, ho voninahitr'Andriamanitra amin'ny ataonay.

²¹Now he who establishes us with you in Christ, and anointed us, is God;

²¹Fa Izay mampitoetra anay mbaminareo ao amin'i Kristy sady nanosotra antsika dia Andriamanitra,

²²who also sealed us, and gave us the down payment of the Spirit in our hearts.

²²Izay nanisy tombo-kase antsika koa ka nanome ny Fanahy ho santatra ato am-pontsika.

²³But I call God for a witness to my soul, that I didn’t come to Corinth to spare you.

²³Ary izaho miantso an'Andriamanitra ho vavolombelona ny amin'ny fanahiko, fa ny fialàko nenina aminareo ihany no tsy mbola nankanesako tatỳ Korinto.Kanefa tsy mihambo ho tompon'ny finoanareo izahay, fa mpiara-miasa hampandroso ny fifalianareo, satria finoana no itoeranareo.

²⁴Not that we have lordship over your faith, but are fellow workers with you for your joy. For you stand firm in faith.

²⁴Kanefa tsy mihambo ho tompon'ny finoanareo izahay, fa mpiara-miasa hampandroso ny fifalianareo, satria finoana no itoeranareo.
