2 Corinthians 13
1 This is the third time I am coming to you. “Every matter must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.”
Ho lìako fahatelo mb’ama’ areo mb’eo itoy: Am-paliem-balolombeloñe telo ndra roe ty hampijadoñeñe ze hene saontsy.
2 I already warned you the second time I was with you. So now in my absence I warn those who sinned earlier and everyone else: If I return, I will not spare anyone,
Le o nandilatseo naho o ila’eo, toe ho taroñeko miaolo, t’ie mbe tsy añe, te hambañe amy vinolako amy fañindroeko teoy, t’ie homb’eo indraike, le tsy ia ty hapoko,
3 since you are demanding proof that Christ is speaking through me. He is not weak in dealing with you, but is powerful among you.
amy te paia’areo hamenteañe i Norizañe misaontsy añamakoy; ie tsy maleme ama’ areo, fa toe maozatse ama’ areo.
4 For He was indeed crucified in weakness, yet He lives by God’s power. And though we are weak in Him, yet by God’s power we will live with Him to serve you.
Toe pinèke amy halemea’ey re fe veloñe an-kaozaran’ Añahare. Maleme ama’e ao zahay, fe ho veloñe ama’e ty amy haozaran’ Añahare mitoloñe ho anahareo.
5 Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Can’t you see for yourselves that Jesus Christ is in you—unless you actually fail the test?
Mitsohà vatañe hera amam-patokisañe. Miventea! Tsy fohi’ areo hao te añ’arofo’ areo ao t’Iesoà Norizañe?—naho tsy t’ie nilesa amy fitsohañey.
6 And I hope you will realize that we have not failed the test.
Isalalako te ho fohi’ areo te tsy milesa zahay.
7 Now we pray to God that you will not do anything wrong—not that we will appear to have stood the test, but that you will do what is right, even if we appear to have failed.
Aa le halalie’ay aman’ Añahare te tsy handilatse nahareo, tsy te hampiboake anay ho nahatafetetse, fa te hanoe’ areo ze mahity, ndra te hatao naito zahay.
8 For we cannot do anything against the truth, but only for the truth.
Tsy lefe’ay ty mandietse ty hatò, te mone honjone’ay ty hatò.
9 In fact, we rejoice when we are weak but you are strong, and our prayer is for your perfection.
Ifalea’ay ty haleme’ay naho te inahareo ro maozatse; eka ihalalia’ay t’ie ho fonireñe.
10 This is why I write these things while absent, so that when I am present I will not need to be severe in my use of the authority that the Lord gave me for building you up, not for tearing you down.
Izay i nisokirakoy, izaho tsy ama’ areo, soa tsy hisenge hery ama’areo te miatreke, ty amy lily natolo’ i Talè ahiko ho ami’ty fañasoàñe, fa tsy ho ami’ty fandrobahañe.
11 Finally, brothers, rejoice! Aim for perfect harmony, encourage one another, be of one mind, live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you.
Ie amy zao, ry longo, mirebeha, mihafonira, manintsiña, miharoa rehake, mifampilongoa; lonike ho ama’ areo i Andriam-pilongoañe naho fikokoañey.
12 Greet one another with a holy kiss.
Mifañontanea añ’ oroke miavake.
13 All the saints send you greetings.
Songa mañontane anahareo o noro’eo.
14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with all of you.
Ho ama’ areo iaby abey ty hasoa’ Iesoà Talè Norizañey, naho ty fikokoan’ Añahare, vaho ty fitraofañ’ ìna amy Arofo Masiñey. Amena.
