2 Corinthians 10
1 And I, Paul, myself, call on you—through the meekness and gentleness of the Christ—who in presence [am] indeed humble among you, and being absent, have courage toward you,
Ary ny tenako, izaho Paoly, dia mananatra anareo amin’ ny hamoram-panahy sy ny fandeferan’ i Kristy, dia izaho, izay manetry tena, hono, raha eo anatrehanareo, fa sahy aminareo kosa, raha tsy eo.
2 and I implore [you], that, being present, I may not have courage, with the confidence with which I reckon to be bold against certain reckoning us as walking according to the flesh;
Dia mangataka aho mba tsy ho sahy, rehefa tonga, amin’ ny fahatokiana izay kasaiko hahasahiana amin’ ny sasany, izay manao anay ho mandeha araka ny nofo.
3 for walking in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh,
Fa na dia velona amin’ ny nofo aza izahay, dia tsy mba miady araka ny nofo
4 for the weapons of our warfare [are] not fleshly, but powerful to God for bringing down of strongholds,
(fa tsy avy amin’ ny nofo ny fiadian’ ny tafikay, fa mahery amin’ Andriamanitra handrava fiarovana mafy);
5 bringing down reasonings, and every high thing lifted up against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of the Christ,
fa mandrava ny fisainana sy ny zavatra avo rehetra izay atsangana hanohitra ny fahalalana an’ Andriamanitra izahay ka mamabo ny hevitra rehetra hanaiky an’ i Kristy,
6 and being in readiness to avenge every disobedience whenever your obedience may be fulfilled.
ary vonona hamaly ny tsi-fanarahana rehetra izahay, rehefa tanteraka ny fanarahanareo.
7 You see the outward appearance. If anyone has trusted in himself to be Christ’s, let him reckon this again from himself, that according as he is Christ’s, so also we [are] Christ’s;
Mijery zavatra araka ny fisehony ihany va ianareo? Raha misy olona matoky ny tenany fa an’ i Kristy, aoka izay hisaintsaina izao indray, fa tahaka ny mah’ an’ i Kristy azy no mah’ an’ i Kristy anay koa.
8 for even if I will also boast anything more abundantly concerning our authority, that the LORD gave us for building up, and not for casting you down, I will not be ashamed,
Fa na dia bebe ihany aza ny fireharehako ny amin’ ny fahefanay izay nomen’ i Kristy anay hananganana, fa tsy handravana anareo, dia tsy hahazo henatra aho,
9 that I may not seem as if I would terrify you through the letters,
mba tsy hisehoako toy ny ta-hampitahotra anareo amin’ ny epistily.
10 “because the letters indeed,” says one, “[are] weighty and strong, and the bodily presence weak, and the speech despicable.”
Fa ny epistiliny, hoy izy, dia mavesatra sy mahery; fa malemy kosa ny fanatrehan’ ny tenany, ary tsinontsinona ny teniny.
11 This one—let him reckon thus: that such as we are in word, through letters, being absent, such also, being present, [we are] in deed.
Aoka izany olona izany hihevitra izao, fa tahaka ny fiteninay amin’ ny epistily, raha tsy eo izahay, dia ho tahaka izany koa ny asanay rehefa tonga izahay.
12 For we do not make bold to rank or to compare ourselves with certain of those commending themselves, but they, measuring themselves among themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are not wise,
Fa izahay tsy sahy hanao ny tenanay ho isan’ ny sasany izay midera tena, na hampitaha ny tenanay aminy; fa tsy hendry ireny, satria manohatra ny tenanay amin’ ny tenany sy mampitaha ny tenany amin’ ny tenanay.
13 and we will not boast ourselves in regard to the unmeasured things, but after the measure of the line that the God of measure appointed to us—to reach even to you;
Fa izahay tsy mba hirehareha tsy amin’ ohatra, fa araka ny ohatry ny voafaritr’ Andriamanitra ho anjaranay, dia ohatra mihatra aminareo.
14 for we do not stretch ourselves too much, as not reaching to you, for even to you we came in the good news of the Christ,
Fa tsy toy izay tsy mihatra aminareo izahay ka mihoatra ny faritry ny anjaranay; fa tonga hatrany aminareo aza izahay amin’ ny filazantsaran’ i Kristy;
15 not boasting of the things not measured, in other men’s labors, and having hope—your faith increasing—in you to be enlarged, according to our line—into abundance,
tsy mirehareha tsy amin’ ohatra amin’ izay nisasaran’ ny sasany izahay, fa manana fanantenana izahay fa rehefa mitombo ny finoanareo, dia hohalehibiazina ao aminareo izahay araka ny voafaritra ho anjarany, sady mbola handroso ihany
16 to proclaim good news in the [places] beyond you, not in another’s line in regard to the things made ready, to boast;
ka hitory ny filazantsara amin’ ny tany any ankoatranareo, ary tsy hirehareha amin’ izay efa vonona rahateo ao anatin’ ny voafaritra ho an’ ny sasany.
17 and he who is boasting—let him boast in the LORD;
Fa izay mirehareha, dia aoka Jehovah no ho reharehany
18 for he who is commending himself is not approved, but he whom the LORD commends.
Fa tsy izay midera tena no ankasitrahana, fa izay derain’ ny Tompo.
