1 Korintiana 16
1 Ary ny amin’ ny famoriam-bola ho an’ ny olona masìna, dia mba manaova koa ianareo toy izay nasaiko nataon’ ny fiangonana any Galatia.
Now concerning the offering for the saints, you also are to do as I directed the church of Galatia.
2 Amin’ ny andro voalohany isan-kerinandro dia samia manokana ao aminy avy ho rakitra na amin’ inona na amin’ inona no anambinana azy, mba ho vita rahateo ny famoriam-bola mandra-pahatongako.
On the first day of each week let each of you put aside something, keeping it in store as he may prosper, so that when I come there may be no collections going on.
3 Ary rehefa tonga aho, dia izay sitrakareo no hirahiko hitondra taratasy hanatitra ny fiantranareo ho any Jerosalema.
On my arrival I will send those whom you may accredit by letter to carry your bounty to Jerusalem.
4 Ary raha tokony handehanako izany, dia hiaraka amiko ireo.
And if it is worth while for me to go too, they will accompany me.
5 Hankatỳ aminareo aho, rehefa namaky an’ i Makedonia ― fa hamaky an’ i Makedonia aho ―
Now I shall come to you after I have gone through Macedonia.
6 ary angamba hitoetra eo aminareo aho, na handany ny ririnina aza, mba hanateranareo ahy amin’ izay halehako.
I shall remain some time with you; possibly spending the winter, in order that you may help me forward in whatever journey I take.
7 Fa tsy mikasa hamangy anareo toy ny mandalo aho ankehitriny; fa manantena hitoetra elaela eo aminareo aho, raha sitrapon’ ny Tompo.
For I do not wish at this present time to see you merely in passing; but if the Lord permits, I hope to remain some time with you.
8 Nefa hitoetra any Efesosy aho mandra-pihavin’ ny Pentekosta;
I am staying for the present in Ephesus, until Pentecost;
9 fa varavarana lehibe no voavoha ho ahy hahazoako miasa tsara, nefa maro ny mpanohitra.
for a door has opened to me, great and effectual, and the opponents are many.
10 Ary rehefa tonga Timoty, dia tandremo mba tsy hanan-tahotra eo aminareo izy; fa ny asan’ ny Tompo no ataony, tahaka ny ataoko koa.
If Timothy come, see to it that he is among you without trepidation; for he is doing the Lord’s work, as I am, so let no one disparage him.
11 Koa aza avela hisy olona hanao tsinontsinona azy; fa atero soa aman-tsara izy mba ho tonga atỳ amiko; fa miandry azy mbamin’ ny rahalahy sasany aho.
Whenever he comes to me, send him on his way in peace, for I am expecting him with the other brothers.
12 Ary ny amin’ i Apolosy rahalahy, dia nangataka azy fatratra aho hiara-mandeha amin’ ny rahalahy hankatỳ aminareo, saingy tsy sitrapony akory ny handeha tamin’ izany; nefa ho avy ihany izy, rehefa misy andro mahalalaka azy.
As for our Apollos, I have many times urged him to go to you with the others, but he was always unwilling to go to you at this time. He will come, however, whenever he has a good opportunity.
13 Miambena ianareo, tomoera tsara amin’ ny finoana, aoka hitombandahy, mahereza.
Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, be manly, be strong.
14 Izay rehetra ataonareo dia ataovy amin’ ny fitiavana.
Let all that you do be done in love.
15 Fantatrareo ny ankohonan’ i Stefanasy, fa voaloham-bokatr’ i Akaia izy sady efa nanolo-tena ho amin’ ny fanompoana ny olona masìna; dia mangataka aminareo aho, ry rahalahy,
I beg you this, my brothers - you know the household of Stephanus, that they were the first-fruits of Achaia, and that they devoted themselves to the service of the saints -
16 mba hanaiky tsara ny olona tahaka ireny sy izay rehetra miara-miasa sy mikely aina koa ianareo.
so I want you also to show deference to such, and to every fellow worker, and laborer.
17 Faly aho noho ny fihavian’ i Stefanasy sy Fortonato ary Akaiko; fa ireo no nahefa ny tsy vitanareo;
I am glad that Stephanus and Fortunatus and Achaicus have arrived, for they have made up for your absence.
18 fa namelombelona ny fanahiko sy ny anareo koa izy; ka mba ekeo ny tahaka ireny.
They refresh my spirit as they do yours. So cultivate the acquaintance of such men.
19 Manao veloma anareo ny fiangonana atỳ Asia. Manao veloma anareo indrindra ao amin’ ny tompo Akoila sy Prisila mbamin’ ny fiangonana izay ao an-tranony.
The churches of Asia greet you. Aquila and Priscilla (Prisca), with the church that meets in their house, greet you heartily in the Lord.
20 Manao veloma anareo ny rahalahy rehetra. Mifanaova veloma amin’ ny fanorohana masìna.
All the brothers send greetings. Greet one another with a holy kiss.
21 Ny tanako, izaho Paoly, no anaovako veloma.
The greeting of me, Paul, with my own hand.
22 Raha misy tsy tia ny Tompo, aoka ho voaozona izy. Maran ata.
If any one does not love the Lord, let him be accursed. Our Lord is coming.
23 Ho aminareo anie ny fahasoavan’ i Jesosy Kristy Tompo;
The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.
24 ny fitiavako dia ao aminareo rehetra ao amin’ i Kristy Jesosy. Amena.
My love be with you all in Christ Jesus.
