2 Corinthians 1
1 To the church of God in Corinth, and to all Christ’s people throughout Greece, from Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus, by the will of God, and from Timothy, who is also a follower.
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 God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ bless you and give you peace.
ho aminareo anie ny fahasoavana sy ny fiadanana avy amin’ Andriamanitra Raintsika sy Jesosy Kristy Tompo.
3 Blessed is the God and Father of Jesus Christ our Lord, the all-merciful Father, the God ever ready to console,
Isaorana anie Andriamanitra, Rain’ i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika, Rain’ ny famindram-po sady Andriamanitry ny fampiononana rehetra,
4 who consoles us in all our troubles, so that we may be able to console those who are in any trouble with the consolation that we ourselves receive from him.
Izay mampionona anay amin’ ny fahorianay rehetra mba hahaizanay mampionona izay rehetra mitondra fahoriana kosa, anin’ ny fampiononana izay ampiononan’ Andriamanitra anay.
5 It is true that we have our full share of the sufferings of the Christ, but through the Christ we have also our full share of consolation.
Fa araka ny haben’ ny fijalian’ i Kristy mihatra aminay no haben’ ny fampiononana anay kosa amin’ ny alalan’ i Kristy.
6 If we meet with trouble, it is for the sake of your consolation and salvation; and, if we find consolation, it is for the sake of the consolation that you will experience when you are called to endure the sufferings that we ourselves are enduring;
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 and our hope for you remains unshaken. We know that, as you are sharing our sufferings, you will also share our consolation.
Ary miorina tsara ny fanantenanay anareo, satria fantatray fa tahaka ny iombonanareo ny fahoriana no iombonanareo ny fampiononana koa.
8 We want you, friends, to know that, in the troubles which befell us in Roman Asia, we were burdened altogether beyond our strength, so much so that we even despaired of life.
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 Indeed, we had the presentiment that we must die, so that we might rely, not on ourselves, but on 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 And from so imminent a death God delivered us, and will deliver us again; for in him we have placed our hopes of future deliverance, while you, also, help us by your prayers.
Ary Izy no nahafaka anay tamin’ izao fahafatesana lehibe izao, ary mbola hanafaka ihany; eny, Izy no antenainay fa mbola hanafaka anay koa,
11 And then many lips will give thanks on our behalf for the blessing granted us in answer to many prayers.
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 Indeed, our main ground for satisfaction is this – Our conscience tells us that our conduct in the world, and still more in our relations with you, was marked by a purity of motive and a sincerity that were inspired by God, and was based, not on worldly policy, but on the help 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 We never write anything to you other than what you will acknowledge to the very 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 And, indeed, you have already partly acknowledged it about us – that you have a right to be proud of us, as we will be proud of you, on the day of our Lord Jesus.
toy ny efa fantapantatrareo ihany fa voninahitrareo izahay, dia tahaka anareo kosa no voninahitray amin’ ny andron’ i Jesosy Tompontsika.
15 With this conviction in my mind, I planned to come to see you first, so that your pleasure might be doubled –
Ary tamin’ izao fahatokiana izao dia nikasa hankatỳ aminareo aloha aho (mba hahazoanareo soa fanindroany),
16 To visit you both on my way to Macedonia, and to come to you again on my return from Macedonia, and then to get you to send me on my way into 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 As this was my plan, where, pray, did I show any fickleness of purpose? Or do you think that my plans are formed on mere impulse, so that in the same breath I say ‘Yes’ and ‘No’?
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 As God is true, the message that we brought you does not waver between ‘Yes’ and ‘No’!
Fa raha mahatoky koa Andriamanitra, ny teninay taminareo dia tsy eny sy tsia;
19 The Son of God, Christ Jesus, whom we – Silas, Timothy, and I – proclaimed among you, never wavered between ‘Yes’ and ‘No.’ With him it has always been ‘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 For, many as were the promises of God, in Christ is the ‘Yes’ that fulfills them. Therefore, through Christ again, let the ‘Amen’ rise, through us, 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 who brings us, with you, into close union with Christ, and who consecrated us,
Fa Izay mampitoetra anay mbaminareo ao amin’ i Kristy sady nanosotra antsika dia Andriamanitra,
22 also set his seal on us, and gave us his Spirit in our hearts as a pledge of future blessings.
Izay nanisy tombo-kase antsika koa ka nanome ny Fanahy ho santatra ato am-pontsika.
23 But, as my life will answer for it, I call God to witness that it was to spare you that I deferred my visit 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 I do not mean that we are to dictate to you with regard to your faith; on the contrary, we work with you for your true happiness; indeed, it is through your faith that you are standing firm.
Kanefa tsy mihambo ho tompon’ ny finoanareo izahay, fa mpiara-miasa hampandroso ny fifalianareo, satria finoana no itoeranareo.
