2 Corinthians 12
1 To boast, really, is not profitable for me, for I will come to visions and revelations of the LORD.
Tsy maintsy mirehareha aho, na dia tsy mahasoa aza izany; fa handroso hilaza fahitana sy fanambaran’ ny Tompo aho.
2 I have known a man in Christ, fourteen years ago—whether in the body I have not known, whether out of the body I have not known, God has known—such a one being snatched up to the third heaven;
Mahalala olona anankiray ao amin’ i Kristy aho, tokony ho efatra ambin’ ny folo taona lasa izay ― na tao amin’ ny tena, na tsy tao amin’ ny tena, tsy fantatro, Andriamanitra no mahalala ― ilay anankiray dia nakarina ho any amin’ ny lanitra fahatelo.
3 and I have known such a man—whether in the body, whether out of the body, I have not known, God has known—
Ary mahalala ilay olona anankiray aho ― na tao amin’ ny tena, na tsy tao amin’ ny tena, tsy fantatro, Andriamanitra no mahalala ―
4 that he was snatched up to the paradise, and heard unutterable sayings, that it is not possible for man to speak.
fa nakarina ho any Paradisa izy ka nandre teny tsy azo tenenina sady tsy tokony holazain’ olona.
5 Of such a one I will boast, and of myself I will not boast, except in my weaknesses,
Ilay anankiray no hataoko rehareha; fa ny amin’ ny tenako dia tsy hirehareha aho afa-tsy amin’ ny fahalemena ihany.
6 for if I may wish to boast, I will not be a fool, for I will say truth; but I refrain, lest in regard to me anyone may think anything above what he sees me, or hears anything of me;
Fa na dia te-hirehareha aza aho, dia tsy ho adala, fa hilaza ny marina; nefa tsy manao izany aho, fandrao misy olona mihevitra ahy ho mihoatra noho izay ahitany ahy na izay andrenesany ny teniko.
7 and that by the exceeding greatness of the revelations I might not be exalted too much, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan, that he might batter me, that I might not be exalted too much.
Ary fandrao hirehareha noho ny habetsaky ny fanambarana aho, dia nasiana tsilo tamin’ ny nofo, dia irak’ i Satana hamely ahy, fandrao hirehareha aho.
8 I called on the LORD three times concerning this thing, that it might depart from me,
Izany no nangatahako intelo tamin’ ny Tompo, mba hialan’ izany amiko.
9 and He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is perfected in weakness”; most gladly, therefore, will I rather boast in my weaknesses, that the power of the Christ may rest on me:
Nefa hoy Izy tamiko; Ampy ho anao ny fahasoavako; fa ny heriko dia tanterahina amin’ ny fahalemena. Koa mainka sitrako ny hirehareha amin’ ny fahalemeko, mba hitoeran’ ny herin’ i Kristy amiko.
10 for this reason I am well pleased in weaknesses, in damages, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses—for Christ; for whenever I may be weak, then I am powerful;
Koa dia finaritra aho amin’ ny fahalemena, amin’ ny fampahoriana, amin’ ny fahaterena, amin’ ny fanenjehana, amin’ ny fahantrana, noho ny amin’ i Kristy; fa ny fahalemeko no fahatanjahako.
11 I have become a fool—boasting; you compelled me; for I ought to have been commended by you, for I was behind the very chiefest apostles in nothing—even if I am nothing.
Efa tonga adala aho; ianareo no nahatery ahy; fa tokony hoderainareo aho, satria tsy latsaka noho ireo Apostoly ambony indrindra ireo, na dia tsinontsinona aza aho.
12 The signs, indeed, of the apostle were worked among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds,
Ny famantarana mah’ Apostoly ahy dia natao teo aminareo tokoa tamin’ ny faharetana rehetra, tamin’ ny famantarana sy ny fahagagana ary tamin’ ny asa lehibe.
13 for what is there in which you were inferior to the rest of the assemblies, except that I myself was not a burden to you? Forgive me this injustice!
Fa inona moa no nahalatsaka anareo noho ny fiangonana sasany, afa-tsy ny tsy namakiako tratra anareo? Mamelà ahy ary amin’ izany fahadisoana izany.
14 Behold, a third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not be a burden to you, for I do not seek yours, but you, for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children,
Indro, efa fanintelony izao no vonona hankatỳ aminareo aho, nefa tsy hahavaky tratra anareo; fa tsy ny fanananareo no tadiaviko, fa ianareo; fa tsy ny zanaka no tokony hihary ho an’ ny ray aman-dreniny, fa ny ray aman-dreniny no tokony hihary ho an’ ny zanany.
15 and I will most gladly spend and be entirely spent for your souls, even if, loving you more abundantly, I am loved less.
Ary izaho dia faly indrindra handany sy holanina hahasoa ny fanahinareo, na dia araka ny fitombon’ ny fitiavako anareo aza no fihenan’ ny fitiavanareo ahy.
16 And be it [so], I did not burden you, but being crafty, I took you with guile;
Kanefa, na dia izany aza, izaho tsy nahavaky tratra anareo, fa nanao saina, hono, aho, dia nahazo anareo tamin’ ny fihendrena.
17 anyone of those whom I have sent to you—did I take advantage of you by him?
Moa izay nirahiko tany aminareo va nisy nanaovako anareo ho vola aman-karena?
18 I begged Titus, and sent with [him] the brother; did Titus take advantage of you? Did we not walk in the same Spirit? Did we not [walk] in the same steps?
Nangataka an’ i Titosy aho, sady nirahiko nomba azy ilay rahalahy. Moa Titosy va nanao anareo ho vola aman-karena? Tsy fanahy iray ihany va no nandehananay? Tsy iray ihany va no dianay?
19 Again, [do] you think that we are making defense to you? We speak before God in Christ; and all things, beloved, [are] for your up-building,
Efa ela izay no nanaovanareo anay ho miala tsiny aminareo. Eo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra no itenenanay ao amin’ i Kristy; fa ny zavatra rehetra, ry malala, dia ho fampandrosoana anareo.
20 for I fear lest, having come, I may not find you such as I wish, and I may be found by you such as you do not wish, lest there be strifes, envyings, wraths, revelries, slanders, whisperings, puffings up, insurrections,
Fa matahotra aho, fandrao, rehefa tonga aho, dia hahita anareo ho toy izay tsy tiako, ary ho hitanareo aho ho toy izay tsy tianareo; fandrao hisy fifandirana, fialonana, fiafonafonana, fifampiandaniana, fanaratsiana, fibitsibitsihana, fieboeboana, fikotranana, ―
21 lest again having come, my God may humble me in regard to you, and I may mourn many of those having sinned before, and having not changed their mind concerning the uncleanness, and whoredom, and licentiousness, that they practiced.
eny, fandrao, rehefa tonga indray aho, dia hampietry ahy eo anatrehanareo Andriamanitro, ary izaho hanana alahelo amin’ ny maro izay nanota teo aloha ka tsy mbola nibebaka tamin’ ny fahalotoana sy ny fijangajangana ary ny fijejojejoana nataony.
