1 Korintiana 2

1 Ary izaho koa, ry rahalahy, raha tonga tany aminareo, dia tsy tonga tamin’ ny teny sy fahendrena marevaka, raha nitory taminareo ny zava-miafina izay an’ Andriamanitra.

And I, brothers, when I came to you, came not in eminence of speech or of wisdom proclaiming the testimony of God to you.

2 Fa ninia tsy hahafantatra zavatra hafa teo aminareo aho, afa-tsy Jesosy Kristy, indrindra fa Izy voahombo tamin’ ny hazo fijaliana;

For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ, even this crucified man.

3 ary izaho, raha tany aminareo, dia azon’ ny fahalemena sy ny fahatahorana ary ny fangovitana be;

And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.

4 ary ny teniko sy ny toriteniko dia tsy tamin’ ny teny fahendrena mahataona, fa tamin’ ny fanehoan’ ny Fanahy sy ny hery,

And my speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,

5 mba tsy niorenan’ ny finoanareo amin’ ny fahendren’ ny olona, fa amin’ ny herin’ Andriamanitra ihany.

so that your faith would not be in wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

6 Anefa milaza fahendrena amin’ ny efa matanjaka izahay, fa tsy ny fahendren’ izao tontolo izao, na ny an’ ny mpanapaka izao tontolo izao, izay olona mihalevona; (aiōn g165)

But we speak wisdom among the fully developed, but not a wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age who come to nothing. (aiōn g165)

7 fa milaza ny fahendren’ Andriamanitra izahay ka maneho zava-niafina, dia fahendrena izay nafenina sady voatendrin’ Andriamanitra ho voninahitsika talohan’ ny nanaovana izao tontolo izao; (aiōn g165)

But we speak a wisdom of God in a hidden mystery, which God predestined before the ages for our glory, (aiōn g165)

8 ary tsy nisy nahalala izany ny mpanapaka izao tontolo izao; fa raha nahalala izy, dia tsy nohomboany tamin’ ny hazo fijaliana ny Tompon’ ny voninahitra. (aiōn g165)

which none of the rulers of this age have known. For if they had known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. (aiōn g165)

9 Fa araka ny voasoratra hoe: Izay tsy mbola hitan’ ny maso ary tsy mbola ren’ ny sofina, na niditra tao am-pon’ ny olona, na inona na inona no efa namboarin’ Andriamanitra ho an’ izay tia Azy,

But as it is written, What an eye has not seen, and an ear has not heard, and have not arisen in a heart of a man, are things that God prepared for those who love him.

10 dia isika no nanambaran’ Andriamanitra izany tamin’ ny Fanahy; fa ny Fanahy mamantatra ny zavatra rehetra, na dia ny saina lalina izay an’ Andriamanitra aza.

But God disclosed it to us through his Spirit, for the Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.

11 Fa iza no olona mahalala ny ao am-pon’ olona, afa-tsy ny fanahin’ ny olona izay ao anatiny ihany? Ary toy izany koa, tsy misy mahalala ny ao am-pon’ Andriamanitra afa-tsy ny Fanahin’ Andriamanitra ihany.

For what man knows the things of the man, except the spirit of the man in him? And so nobody knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.

12 Fa isika tsy nandray ny fanahin’ izao tontolo izao, fa ny Fanahy Izay avy amin’ Andriamanitra, mba ho fantatsika izay zavatra nomen’ Andriamanitra antsika.

But we did not receive the spirit of the world, but the Spirit from God, so that we might know the things graciously given to us by God.

13 Izany koa no lazainay, tsy amin’ ny teny ampianarin’ ny fahendren’ olona fa amin’ ny teny ampianarin’ ny Fanahy, raha milaza zava-panahy amin’ izay olona araka ny Fanahy izahay.

Which things also we speak, not in things learned from mankind, in words of wisdom, but in things learned from the Holy Spirit, comparing spiritual things with spiritual things.

14 Fa ny olona izay araka ny nofo ihany dia tsy mba mandray izay an’ ny Fanahin’ Andriamanitra; fa fahadalana aminy izany sady tsy azony, satria araka ny Fanahy no amantarana izany.

Now the natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he is unable to understand because they are evaluated spiritually.

15 Fa ny olona araka ny Fanahy kosa dia mahafantatra ny zavatra rehetra, kanefa izy tsy fantarin’ olona.

But truly the spiritual man evaluates all things, but he himself is evaluated by none.

16 Fa iza no nahafantatra ny sain’ ny Tompo mba hampianatra Azy? Fa izahay manana ny sain’ i Kristy.

For who has known the mind of the Lord that he will stand with him? But we have the mind of Christ.
