2 Corinthians 2
1 And I decided this to myself, not to come again to you in sorrow,
Fa ninia toy izao tato am-poko aho, dia ny tsy hankatỳ aminareo indray amin’ alahelo.
2 for if I make you sorry, then who is he who is making me glad, except he who is made sorry by me?
Fa raha mampalahelo anareo aho, iza moa no mampifaly ahy, afa-tsy ilay nampalaheloviko ihany?
3 And I wrote to you this same thing, that having come, I may not have sorrow from them of whom it was necessary [for] me to have joy, having confidence in you all, that my joy is of you all,
Ary nanoratra izany indrindra aho, fandrao, rehefa tonga aho, dia hahazo alahelo amin’ izay tokony hifaliako, satria matoky anareo rehetra aho, fa ny fifaliako dia anareo rehetra koa.
4 for out of much tribulation and pressure of heart I wrote to you through many tears, not that you might be made sorry, but that you might know the love that I have more abundantly toward you.
Fa tamin’ ny haben’ ny fahoriana sy ny alahelon’ ny foko no nanoratako taminareo tamin’ ny ranomaso be, tsy ny hampalahelovana anareo, fa ny mba hahafantaranareo ny fitiavana izay itiavako anareo indrindra.
5 And if anyone has caused sorrow, he has not caused sorrow to me, but in part, that I may not burden you all;
Fa raha nisy efa nampalahelo, dia tsy nampalahelo ahy ihany izy (nefa tsy ta-hanao teny mafy loatra aho), fa mba nampalahelo anareo rehetra koa.
6 sufficient to such a one is this punishment, that [is] by the greater part,
Ampy ho amin’ izany olona izany ny fampijaliana nataon’ ny maro,
7 so that, on the contrary, [it is] rather for you to forgive and to comfort, lest by over abundant sorrow such a one may be swallowed up;
ka dia aleo mamela heloka sy mampifaly azy kosa ianareo, fandrao dia resin’ ny fitomboan’ alahelo izany olona izany.
8 for this reason, I call on you to confirm love to him,
Koa mananatra anareo aho mba hekenareo horaisina tsara amin’ ny fitiavana izy.
9 for this also I wrote, that I might know your proof, whether you are obedient in regard to all things.
Fa izany koa no nanoratako, mba ho fantatro izay toetrareo, na manaiky amin’ ny zavatra rehetra ianareo, na tsia.
10 And to whom you forgive anything—I also; for I also, if I have forgiven anything, to whom I have forgiven [it], because of you—in the person of Christ—[I forgive it, ]
Fa izay avelanareo heloka dia mba avelako heloka koa; ary izaho anefa, raha nisy heloka navelako, dia noho ny aminareo no namelako azy teo imason’ i Kristy,
11 that we may not be over-reached by Satan, for we are not ignorant of his schemes.
fandrao ho resin’ ny fitak’ i Satana isika, fa fantatsika ny hafetseny.
12 And having come to Troas for the good news of the Christ, and a door having been opened to me in the LORD,
Ary rehefa tonga tany Troasy hitory ny filazantsaran’ i Kristy aho, ka novohana varavarana ao amin’ ny Tompo,
13 I have not had rest to my spirit, on my not finding my brother Titus, but having taken leave of them, I went forth to Macedonia;
dia tsy tafandry ny fanahiko, satria tsy nahita an’ i Titosy rahalahiko aho; fa nanao veloma ny olona aho, dia niala teo nankany Makedonia.
14 and to God [is] thanks, who at all times is leading us in triumph in the Christ, and the fragrance of His knowledge He is revealing through us in every place;
Fa isaorana anie Andriamanitra, Izay mitondra anay mandrakariva ao amin’ i Kristy toy ny fanaon’ izay avy nandresy, ka dia ampisehoany ny hanitry ny fahalalana Azy eny tontolo eny izahay.
15 we are a refreshing fragrance to God because of Christ, in those being saved, and in those being lost;
Fa hanitr’ i Kristy ho an’ Andriamanitra izahay amin’ izay hovonjena sy izay ho very:
16 to one, indeed, a fragrance of death to death, and to the other, a fragrance of life to life; and who is sufficient for these things?
amin’ ny sasany dia hanitra avy amin’ ny fahafatesana ho amin’ ny fahafatesana; fa amin’ ny sasany kosa dia hanitra avy amin’ ny fiainana ho amin’ ny fiainana. Koa iza moa no antonona ho amin’ izany zavatra izany?
17 For we are not as the many, adulterating the word of God, but as of sincerity—but as of God; in the presence of God, in Christ we speak.
Fa tsy mba toy ny maro izay manatsatso ny tenin’ Andriamanitra hahazoam-bola izahay; fa toy ny amin’ ny fahadiovam-po kosa, dia avy amin’ Andriamanitra sady eo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra no itenenanay ao amin’ i Kristy.
