1 Korintiana 3

1 Ary izaho, ry rahalahy, tsy nahazo niteny taminareo tahaka ny amin’ izay araka ny Fanahy, fa tahaka ny amin’ izay mbola nofo, dia tahaka izay mbola zaza ihany ao amin’ i Kristy.

Brothers, I couldn’t speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly, as to babies in Christ.

2 Ronono no nomeko anareo, fa tsy ventin-kanina, satria tsy mbola natanjaka ianareo; eny, mbola tsy matanjaka mandraka ankehitriny aza,

I fed you with milk, not with solid food, for you weren’t yet ready. Indeed, you aren’t ready even now,

3 fa mbola araka ny nofo ihany ianareo. Fa raha misy fialonana sy fifandirana eo aminareo, tsy araka ny nofo va ianareo ka mandeha araka ny fanaon’ ny olona?

for you are still fleshly. For insofar as there is jealousy, strife, and factions amongst you, aren’t you fleshly, and don’t you walk in the ways of men?

4 Fa raha hoy ny anankiray: Izaho an’ i Paoly, ary ny anankiray kosa: Izaho an’ i Apolosy, moa tsy olona ihany va ianareo?

For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” aren’t you fleshly?

5 Koa inona moa Apolosy, ary inona moa Paoly? Mpanompo ihany izay nahatonga anareo ho mpino ireo, dia samy araka ny nomen’ ny Tompo azy avy.

Who then is Apollos, and who is Paul, but servants through whom you believed, and each as the Lord gave to him?

6 Izaho namboly, Apolosy nandena, fa Andriamanitra no nampitombo.

I planted. Apollos watered. But God gave the increase.

7 Ka dia tsinontsinona izay mamboly, na izay mandena, fa Andriamanitra Izay mampitombo no izy.

So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.

8 Ary iray ihany ny mpamboly sy ny mpandena; nefa samy handray izay valim-pitiany avy araka ny fisasarany izy.

Now he who plants and he who waters are the same, but each will receive his own reward according to his own labour.

9 Fa mpiara-miasa amin’ Andriamanitra izahay; ary sahan’ Andriamanitra sy trano arafitr’ Andriamanitra ianareo.

For we are God’s fellow workers. You are God’s farming, God’s building.

10 Araka ny fahasoavan’ Andriamanitra nomena ahy, tahaka ny fanaon’ ny mpità-marika mahay no nanaovako ny fanorenana, ary ny hafa mandrafitra eo amboniny; nefa aoka ny olona rehetra hitandrina izay arafiny eo amboniny.

According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another builds on it. But let each man be careful how he builds on it.

11 Fa tsy misy mahay manao fanorenana hafa afa-tsy izay natao, dia Jesosy Kristy.

For no one can lay any other foundation than that which has been laid, which is Jesus Christ.

12 Ary raha misy mandrafitra volamena, na volafotsy, na vato tsara, na hazo, na bozaka, na mololo, eo ambonin’ ny fanorenana,

But if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, or straw,

13 dia haseho avokoa ny asan’ ny olona rehetra; fa ny andro no hampiseho azy, satria haseho amin’ afo izany andro izany, ka dia hozahan-toetra, amin’ ny afo ny asan’ ny olona rehetra.

each man’s work will be revealed. For the Day will declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself will test what sort of work each man’s work is.

14 Raha maharitra ny asan’ ny olona, izay narafiny teo amboniny, dia handray valim-pitia izy.

If any man’s work remains which he built on it, he will receive a reward.

15 Raha ho levon’ ny afo ny asan’ ny olona, dia ho fatiantoka izy; fa ny tenany kosa dia hovonjena, nefa toy ny avy ao amin’ ny afo ihany izy.

If any man’s work is burnt, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, but as through fire.

16 Tsy fantatrareo va fa tempolin’ Andriamanitra ianareo, ary ny Fanahin’ Andriamanitra mitoetra no anatinareo?

Don’t you know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you?

17 Raha misy manimba ny tempolin’ Andriamanitra, dia mba hosimban’ Andriamanitra kosa izy; fa masìna ny tempolin’ Andriamanitra, dia ianareo izany.

If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him; for God’s temple is holy, which you are.

18 Aza misy mamita-tena. Raha misy eo aminareo manao azy ho hendry amin’ izao tontolo izao, aoka ho adala izy mba ho hendry. (aiōn g165)

Let no one deceive himself. If anyone thinks that he is wise amongst you in this world, let him become a fool that he may become wise. (aiōn g165)

19 Fa ny fahendren’ izao tontolo izao dia fahadalana eo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra; fa voasoratra hoe: Ny hafetsen’ ny hendry ihany no entiny misambotra azy.

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, “He has taken the wise in their craftiness.”

20 Ary indray: Jehovah no mahalala ny hevitry ny hendry fa zava-poana izany

And again, “The Lord knows the reasoning of the wise, that it is worthless.”

21 Ka dia aza misy manao olona ho reharehany; fa anareo ny zavatra rehetra:

Therefore let no one boast in men. For all things are yours,

22 na Paoly, na Apolosy, na Kefasy, na izao tontolo izao, na fiainana, na fahafatesana, na ny zavatra ankehitriny, na ny zavatra ho avy; dia anareo izany rehetra izany;

whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come. All are yours,

23 ary ianareo an’ i Kristy ary Kristy an’ Andriamanitra.

and you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s.
