1 Korintiana 1

1 Paoly, voantso ho Apostolin’ i Jesosy Kristy noho ny sitrapon’ Andriamanitra, ary Sostena rahalahy,

Paul, a called Apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, and Sosthenes, the brother,

2 mamangy ny fiangonan’ Andriamanitra any Korinto, dia izay nohamasinina ao amin’ i Kristy Jesosy, olona voantso sady masìna, mbamin’ izay rehetra miantso ny anaran’ i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika eny amin’ ny tany rehetra, dia azy sy antsika:

to the congregation of God which is in Corinth, sanctified by Christ Jesus, called saints; with all, in every place, who invoke the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, both their Lord and ours:

3 ho aminareo anie ny fahasoavana sy ny fiadanana avy amin’ Andriamanitra Raintsika sy Jesosy Kristy Tompo.

favor and peace be with you from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

4 Misaotra an’ Andriamanitro mandrakariva ny aminareo aho noho ny fahasoavan’ Andriamanitra izay nomena anareo ao amin’ i Kristy Jesosy,

I give thanks to my God always in respect of you; on account of the favor of God, which was given to you through Jesus Christ;

5 dia ny nampananana harena anareo ao aminy amin’ ny zavatra rehetra, na ny teny rehetra, na ny fahalalana rehetra,

that you were enriched with every gift, by him; even with all speech, and all knowledge,

6 araka ny niorenan’ ny filazana an’ i Kristy teo aminareo,

just as the testimony of Christ was confirmed among you:

7 ka dia tsy latsaka amin’ ny fanomezam-pahasoavana rehetra ianareo, miandry ny fisehoan’ i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika,

so that you come behind in no gift, waiting for the full manifestation of our Lord Jesus Christ;

8 Izay hampiorina anareo koa hatramin’ ny farany, ka dia tsy hanan-tsiny ianareo amin’ ny andron’ i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika.

who will confirm you till the end, without accusation in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9 Mahatoky Andriamanitra, Izay nahatonga ny fiantsoana anareo hanananareo firaisana amin’ ny Zanany, dia Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika.

God is faithful, by whom you have been called into the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

10 Ary mananatra anareo aho, ry rahalahy, amin’ ny anaran’ i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika, mba hiray teny ianareo rehetra, ka tsy hisy fisarahana eo aminareo, fa mba ho tafakambana tsara ianareo hiray saina sy hevitra.

Now, brethren, I beseech you by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no schisms among you; but that you be perfectly united in the same mind, and in the same judgment.

11 Fa efa voalazan’ ny avy amin’ ny ankohonan’ i Kloa tamiko ny amin’ ny toetrareo, ry rahalahiko, fa misy fifampiandaniana eo aminareo.

For it has been been declared to me concerning you, my brethren, by some of the family of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.

12 Izao anefa no anaovako izany: Hianareo samy manao hoe: Izaho an’ i Paoly, na: Izaho an’ i Apolosy, na: Izaho an’ i Kefasy, na: Izaho an’ i Kristy.

And I mention this, that each of you says, I, indeed, am of Paul, and I of Apollos, and I of Cephas, and I of Christ.

13 Voazarazara va Kristy? Paoly va no voahombo tamin’ ny hazo fijaliana hamonjy anareo, sa ho amin’ ny anaran’ i Paoly no nanaovam-batisa anareo?

Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? or were you immersed into the name of Paul?

14 Misaotra an’ Andriamanitra aho fa tsy nisy nataoko batisa ianareo afa-tsy Krispo sy Gaio,

I give thanks to God that I immersed none of you except Crispus and Gaius;

15 fandrao misy milaza fa efa natao batisa ho amin’ ny anarako ianareo.

lest any one should say that I immersed into my own name.

16 Nefa mba efa nanao batisa ny ankohonan’ i Stefanasy koa aho; afa-tsy ireo dia tsy hitako izay nataoko batisa.

And I immersed also the family of Stephanus: besides, I know not whether I immersed any other.

17 Fa Kristy tsy naniraka ahy hanao batisa, fa hitory ny filazantsara, tsy tamin’ ny teny fahendrena, fandrao ho foana ny hazo fijalian’ i Kristy.

For Christ did not send me to immerse, but to proclaim the glad tidings; not, however, with wisdom of speech, that the cross of Christ might not be deprived of its efficacy.

18 Fa ny teny ny amin’ ny hazo fijaliana dia fahadalana amin’ izay ho very, fa herin’ Andriamanitra kosa amintsika izay hovonjena.

For this doctrine (the doctrine of the cross) is, indeed, foolishness to the destroyed; but to us, who are saved, it is the power of God.

19 Fa voasoratra hoe: Hofoanako ny fahendren’ ny hendry, Ary holaviko ny fahalalan’ ny mahalala.

Therefore, it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will set aside the knowledge of the prudent."

20 Aiza ny hendry? Aiza ny mpanora-dalàna? Aiza ny mpiady hevitra avy amin’ izao tontolo izao? Tsy nampodin’ Andriamanitra ho fahadalana va ny fahendren’ izao tontolo izao? (aiōn g165)

Where is the wise man? where the scribe? where the disputers of this world? Has not God shown the wisdom of this world to be folly? (aiōn g165)

21 Fa satria, na dia naseho aza ny fahendren’ Andriamanitra, ny fahendrena dia tsy nahatonga izao tontolo izao hahalala an’ Andriamanitra, ka dia ny fahadalan’ ny fitorian-teny no sitrak’ Andriamanitra hamonjeny izay mino;

For, when, in the wisdom of God, the world, through wisdom, knew not God, it pleased God, through the foolishness of this proclamation, to save them who believe.

22 fa ny Jiosy mila famantarana, ary ny jentilisa mitady fahendrena,

And though the Jews demand a sign, and the Greeks seek wisdom;

23 fa izahay kosa mitory an’ i Kristy voahombo tamin’ ny hazo fijaliana, dia fahatafintohinana amin’ ny Jiosy ary fahadalana amin’ ny jentilisa,

yet we proclaim a crucified Christ: to the Jews, indeed, a stumbling block, and to the Greeks foolishness:

24 fa amin’ izay voantso kosa, na Jiosy na jentilisa, dia Kristy, Izay herin’ Andriamanitra sy fahendren’ Andriamanitra.

but to them who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ, the power of God and the wisdom of God.

25 Fa ny fahadalan’ Andriamanitra dia hendry noho ny olona; ary ny fahalemen’ Andriamanitra mahery noho ny olona.

Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

26 Fa hevero ny fiantsoana anareo, ry rahalahy, fa tsy firy no olon-kendry araka ny nofo, tsy firy no olona mahery, tsy firy no avo razana;

For you see the calling of you, brethren, that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble;

27 fa ny adala amin’ izao tontolo izao no nofidin’ Andriamanitra hampahamenatra ny hendry; ary ny malemy amin’ izao tontolo izao no nofidin’ Andriamanitra hampahamenatra ny mahery;

but God has chosen the foolish of the world to put the wise to shame; and the weak God has chosen to put the strong to shame;

28 ary ny iva razana amin’ izao tontolo izao sy izay fanevateva no nofidin’ Andriamanitra, dia ny atao ho tsy misy aza, mba hahafoana ny misy,

the ignoble of the world, and the despised, God has chosen; nay, those that are nothing, to reduce to nothing those that are;

29 mba tsy hisy nofo hahazo mirehareha eo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra.

that not flesh might boast in his presence.

30 Fa avy aminy no nanaovana anareo ho ao amin’ i Kristy Jesosy, Izay nataon’ Andriamanitra fahendrena sy fahamarinana sy fahamasinana ary fanavotana ho antsika,

Of him, therefore, you are in Christ Jesus, who is become to us wisdom from God, justification, also, and sanctification, and redemption.

31 mba ho araka ny voasoratra hoe: Izay mirehareha, aoka Jehovah no ho reharehany.

So that, as it is written, "Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord."
