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, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech, or of wisdom, declaring to you the testimony of God.

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 while with you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

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 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.

that your faith might not rest on the wisdom of men, but on 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 do speak wisdom among the perfect; not, however, the wisdom of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who are coming to nought; (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 God's wisdom in a mystery, the hidden wisdom, which God determined on before the world was, 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 world comprehended; for had they comprehended it, 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: “The things which eye hath not seen, and ear hath not heard, and which have not entered into the heart of man, the great things which God hath prepared for those that 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.

For God hath revealed them to us by his Spirit; for the Spirit searcheth all things, even the depths 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 who among men knoweth the things of a man, but the spirit of the man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no one but 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 which is from God, that we might know the things that have been given to us by the grace of 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 we also speak, not in words taught by man's wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, connecting what is spiritual l with what is spiritual.

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.

But the unspiritual man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot know them; because they are spiritually discerned.

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

But he that is spiritual judgeth of all things, yet he himself is judged by no one.

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

For “who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ.
