2 Corinthians 1
1 This letter comes from Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ according to the will of God, and from Timothy, our brother. It is sent to the church of God in Corinth, together with all of God's people throughout Achaia.
Paoly, Apostolin’ i Kristy Jesosy noho ny sitrapon’ Andriamanitra, ary Timoty rahalahy, mamangy ny fiangonan’ Andriamanitra izay any Korinto mbamin’ ny olona masìna rehetra eran’ i Akaia:
2 May you have grace and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
ho aminareo anie ny fahasoavana sy ny fiadanana avy amin’ Andriamanitra Raintsika sy Jesosy Kristy Tompo.
3 Praise be to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! He is the compassionate Father and the God of all comfort.
Isaorana anie Andriamanitra, Rain’ i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika, Rain’ ny famindram-po sady Andriamanitry ny fampiononana rehetra,
4 He comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those who are also in trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.
Izay mampionona anay amin’ ny fahorianay rehetra mba hahaizanay mampionona izay rehetra mitondra fahoriana kosa, anin’ ny fampiononana izay ampiononan’ Andriamanitra anay.
5 The more we share in Christ's sufferings, the more we receive the abundant comfort of Christ.
Fa araka ny haben’ ny fijalian’ i Kristy mihatra aminay no haben’ ny fampiononana anay kosa amin’ ny alalan’ i Kristy.
6 If we are in distress, it is for your comfort and salvation. If we are being comforted, it is for your comfort, which results in you patiently bearing the same sufferings that we suffer.
Ary 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.
7 We have great confidence in you, knowing that as you share in our sufferings you also share in our comfort.
Ary miorina tsara ny fanantenanay anareo, satria fantatray fa tahaka ny iombonanareo ny fahoriana no iombonanareo ny fampiononana koa.
8 Brothers and sisters, we won't keep you in the dark about the trouble we had in Asia. We were so overwhelmed that we were afraid we wouldn't have the strength to continue—so much so we doubted we would live through it.
Fa 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;
9 In fact it was like a death sentence inside us. This was to stop us relying on ourselves and to trust in God who raises the dead.
eny, tsy nanampo izay ho velona intsony izahay, mba tsy hitokianay amin’ ny tenanay, fa amin’ Andriamanitra, Izay manangana ny maty ihany.
10 He saved us from a terrible death, and he will do so again. We have total confidence in God that he will continue to save us.
Ary Izy no nahafaka anay tamin’ izao fahafatesana lehibe izao, ary mbola hanafaka ihany; eny, Izy no antenainay fa mbola hanafaka anay koa,
11 You help us by praying for us. In this way many will thank God for us because of the blessing that God will give us in response to the prayers of many.
satria ianareo koa miara-miasa ho anay amin’ ny fivavahanareo mba hisaoran’ ny maro ny aminay noho ny fahasoavana azonay tamin’ ny nataon’ ny maro.
12 We take pride in the fact—and our conscience confirms it—that we have acted properly towards people, and especially to you. We have followed God's principles of holiness and sincerity, not according to worldly wisdom but through the grace of God.
Fa 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.
13 For we are not writing anything complicated that you can't read and understand. I hope you'll understand in the end,
Fa 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,
14 even if you only understand part of it now, so that when the Lord comes you will be proud of us, just as we are of you.
toy ny efa fantapantatrareo ihany fa voninahitrareo izahay, dia tahaka anareo kosa no voninahitray amin’ ny andron’ i Jesosy Tompontsika.
15 Because I was so sure of your confidence in me I planned to come and visit you first. That way you could have benefited twice,
Ary tamin’ izao fahatokiana izao dia nikasa hankatỳ aminareo aloha aho (mba hahazoanareo soa fanindroany),
16 as I would go on from you to Macedonia, and then return from Macedonia to you. Then I would have had you send me on my way to Judea.
ary 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.
17 Why did I change my original plan? Do you think I make my decisions lightly? Do you think that when I plan I'm like some worldly person who says Yes and No at the same time?
Koa 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?
18 Just as God can be trusted, when we give you our word it's not both Yes and No.
Fa raha mahatoky koa Andriamanitra, ny teninay taminareo dia tsy eny sy tsia;
19 The truth of the Son of God, Jesus Christ, was announced to you by us—me, Silvanus, and Timothy—and it wasn't both Yes and No. In Christ the answer is absolutely Yes!
fa 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.
20 However, many promises God has made, in Christ the answer is always Yes. Through him we respond, saying Yes to the glory of God.
Fa 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.
21 God has given both us and you the inner strength to stand firm in Christ. God has appointed us,
Fa Izay mampitoetra anay mbaminareo ao amin’ i Kristy sady nanosotra antsika dia Andriamanitra,
22 placed his stamp of approval on us, and given us the guarantee of the Spirit to convince us.
Izay nanisy tombo-kase antsika koa ka nanome ny Fanahy ho santatra ato am-pontsika.
23 I call God as my witness that it was to avoid causing you pain that I chose not to come to Corinth.
Ary izaho miantso an’ Andriamanitra ho vavolombelona ny amin’ ny fanahiko, fa ny fialàko nenina aminareo ihany no tsy mbola nankanesako tatỳ Korinto.
24 This isn't because we want to dictate how you relate to God, but because we want to help you have a joyful experience—for it's by trusting God that you stand firm.
Kanefa tsy mihambo ho tompon’ ny finoanareo izahay, fa mpiara-miasa hampandroso ny fifalianareo, satria finoana no itoeranareo.
