¹This is the third time I am coming to you. “At the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.” Deuteronomy 19:15

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

²I have said beforehand, and I do say beforehand, as when I was present the second time, so now, being absent, I write to those who have sinned before now, and to all the rest, that, if I come again, I will not spare;

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,

³seeing that you seek a proof of Christ who speaks in me; who toward you is not weak, but is powerful in you.

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

⁴For he was crucified through weakness, yet he lives through the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we will live with him through the power of God toward 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.

⁵Test your own selves, whether you are in the faith. Test your own selves. Or don’t you know as to your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified.

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 ?

⁶But I hope that you will know that we aren’t disqualified.

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

⁷Now I pray to God that you do no evil; not that we may appear approved, but that you may do that which is honorable, though we are as reprobate.

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.

⁸For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.

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

⁹For we rejoice when we are weak and you are strong. And this we also pray for, even your perfecting.

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

¹⁰For this cause I write these things while absent, that I may not deal sharply when present, according to the authority which the Lord gave me for building up, and not for tearing down.

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.

¹¹Finally, brothers, rejoice. Be perfected, be comforted, be of the same mind, live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.

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]

¹²Greet one another with a holy kiss.

¹²Mifanaova veloma amin'ny fanorohana masina.

¹³All the saints greet you.

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.

¹⁴The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all. Amen.

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