2 Korintiana 13

1 Izao no fanintelon’ ny hankanesako atỳ aminareo. Amin’ ny tenin’ ny vavolombelona roa na telo no hanorenana mafy ny teny rehetra.

This is the third time I am coming to you. “Every matter must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.”

2 Efa nambarako fahiny, sady milaza rahateo koa aho ― toy ny nataoko fony mbola teo aminareo fanindroany ihany, ary ankehitriny raha tsy eo kosa ― amin’ izay nanota teo aloha sy amin’ ny sisa rehetra, fa rehefa tonga indray aho, dia tsy hiantra,

I already warned you the second time I was with you. So now in my absence I warn those who sinned earlier and everyone else: If I return, I will not spare anyone,

3 satria ianareo mitady famantarana fa miteny ato anatiko Kristy, Izay tsy malemy aminareo, fa mahery ao aminareo kosa.

since you are demanding proof that Christ is speaking through me. He is not weak in dealing with you, but is powerful among you.

4 Fa voahombo tamin’ ny hazo fijaliana Izy noho ny fahalemena, nefa velona kosa noho ny herin’ Andriamanitra. Fa izahay koa dia malemy ao aminy, nefa hiara-belona aminy ho anareo izahay noho ny herin’ Andriamanitra.

For He was indeed crucified in weakness, yet He lives by God’s power. And though we are weak in Him, yet by God’s power we will live with Him to serve you.

5 Diniho ny tenanareo, na mitoetra amin’ ny finoana ianareo, na tsia; izahao toetra ny tenanareo. Moa tsy fantatrareo va ny amin’ ny tenanareo, fa ao anatinareo Jesosy Kristy, raha tsy olona nolavina ianareo?

Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Can’t you see for yourselves that Jesus Christ is in you—unless you actually fail the test?

6 Nefa manantena aho fa ho fantatrareo fa izahay dia tsy olona nolavina.

And I hope you will realize that we have not failed the test.

7 Ary mangataka amin’ Andriamanitra izahay mba tsy hanao izay ratsy ianareo, tsy ny hisehoanay ho olona voazaha toetra anefa, fa ny mba hanaovanareo izay tsara, na dia ho toy ny olona nolavina aza izahay.

Now we pray to God that you will not do anything wrong—not that we will appear to have stood the test, but that you will do what is right, even if we appear to have failed.

8 Fa tsy mahavita na inona na inona hanohitra ny marina izahay, fa hampandroso ny marina kosa.

For we cannot do anything against the truth, but only for the truth.

9 Fa faly izahay, raha malemy izahay, fa ianareo no mahery; ary izao no angatahinay, dia ny fanatanterahana anareo.

In fact, we rejoice when we are weak but you are strong, and our prayer is for your perfection.

10 Izany no anoratako izany zavatra izany, raha tsy eo aminareo aho, fandrao, rehefa tonga aho, dia hanao izay mafy araka ny hery izay nomen’ ny Tompo ahy ho fananganana, fa tsy ho fandravana.

This is why I write these things while absent, so that when I am present I will not need to be severe in my use of the authority that the Lord gave me for building you up, not for tearing you down.

11 Farany, ry rahalahy, mifalia, aoka ho tanteraka ianareo, mandraisa ny fampiononana, miraisa saina, mihavàna; ary Andriamanitry ny fitiavana sy ny fiadanana ho aminareo.

Finally, brothers, rejoice! Aim for perfect harmony, encourage one another, be of one mind, live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you.

12 Mifanaova veloma amin’ ny fanorohana masìna.

Greet one another with a holy kiss.

13 Ny olona masìna rehetra manao veloma anareo.

All the saints send you greetings.

14 Ho aminareo rehetra anie ny fahasoavan’ i Jesosy Kristy Tompo sy ny fitiavan’ Andriamanitra ary ny firaisana amin’ ny Fanahy Masìna.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with all of you.
