2 Korintiana 2

1 Fa ninia toy izao tato am-poko aho, dia ny tsy hankatỳ aminareo indray amin’ alahelo.

And I decided this to myself, not again to come in sorrow unto you,

2 Fa raha mampalahelo anareo aho, iza moa no mampifaly ahy, afa-tsy ilay nampalaheloviko ihany?

for if I make you sorry, then who is he who is making me glad, except he who is made sorry by me?

3 Ary nanoratra izany indrindra aho, fandrao, rehefa tonga aho, dia hahazo alahelo amin’ izay tokony hifaliako, satria matoky anareo rehetra aho, fa ny fifaliako dia anareo rehetra koa.

and I wrote to you this same thing, that having come, I may not have sorrow from them of whom it behoved me to have joy, having confidence in you all, that my joy is of you all,

4 Fa tamin’ ny haben’ ny fahoriana sy ny alahelon’ ny foko no nanoratako taminareo tamin’ ny ranomaso be, tsy ny hampalahelovana anareo, fa ny mba hahafantaranareo ny fitiavana izay itiavako anareo indrindra.

for out of much tribulation and pressure of heart I wrote to you through many tears, not that ye might be made sorry, but that ye might know the love that I have more abundantly toward you.

5 Fa raha nisy efa nampalahelo, dia tsy nampalahelo ahy ihany izy (nefa tsy ta-hanao teny mafy loatra aho), fa mba nampalahelo anareo rehetra koa.

And if any one hath caused sorrow, he hath not caused sorrow to me, but in part, that I may not burden you all;

6 Ampy ho amin’ izany olona izany ny fampijaliana nataon’ ny maro,

sufficient to such a one is this punishment, that [is] by the more part,

7 ka dia aleo mamela heloka sy mampifaly azy kosa ianareo, fandrao dia resin’ ny fitomboan’ alahelo izany olona izany.

so that, on the contrary, [it is] rather for you to forgive and to comfort, lest by over abundant sorrow such a one may be swallowed up;

8 Koa mananatra anareo aho mba hekenareo horaisina tsara amin’ ny fitiavana izy.

wherefore, I call upon you to confirm love to him,

9 Fa izany koa no nanoratako, mba ho fantatro izay toetrareo, na manaiky amin’ ny zavatra rehetra ianareo, na tsia.

for, for this also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether in regard to all things ye are obedient.

10 Fa izay avelanareo heloka dia mba avelako heloka koa; ary izaho anefa, raha nisy heloka navelako, dia noho ny aminareo no namelako azy teo imason’ i Kristy,

And to whom ye forgive anything — I also; for I also, if I have forgiven anything, to whom I have forgiven [it], because of you — in the person of Christ — [I forgive it, ]

11 fandrao ho resin’ ny fitak’ i Satana isika, fa fantatsika ny hafetseny.

that we may not be over-reached by the Adversary, for of his devices we are not ignorant.

12 Ary rehefa tonga tany Troasy hitory ny filazantsaran’ i Kristy aho, ka novohana varavarana ao amin’ ny Tompo,

And having come to Troas for the good news of the Christ, and a door to me having been opened in the Lord,

13 dia tsy tafandry ny fanahiko, satria tsy nahita an’ i Titosy rahalahiko aho; fa nanao veloma ny olona aho, dia niala teo nankany Makedonia.

I have not had rest to my spirit, on my not finding Titus my brother, but having taken leave of them, I went forth to Macedonia;

14 Fa isaorana anie Andriamanitra, Izay mitondra anay mandrakariva ao amin’ i Kristy toy ny fanaon’ izay avy nandresy, ka dia ampisehoany ny hanitry ny fahalalana Azy eny tontolo eny izahay.

and to God [are] thanks, who at all times is leading us in triumph in the Christ, and the fragrance of His knowledge He is manifesting through us in every place,

15 Fa hanitr’ i Kristy ho an’ Andriamanitra izahay amin’ izay hovonjena sy izay ho very:

because of Christ a sweet fragrance we are to God, in those being saved, and in those being lost;

16 amin’ ny sasany dia hanitra avy amin’ ny fahafatesana ho amin’ ny fahafatesana; fa amin’ ny sasany kosa dia hanitra avy amin’ ny fiainana ho amin’ ny fiainana. Koa iza moa no antonona ho amin’ izany zavatra izany?

to the one, indeed, a fragrance of death to death, and to the other, a fragrance of life to life; and for these things who is sufficient?

17 Fa tsy mba toy ny maro izay manatsatso ny tenin’ Andriamanitra hahazoam-bola izahay; fa toy ny amin’ ny fahadiovam-po kosa, dia avy amin’ Andriamanitra sady eo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra no itenenanay ao amin’ i Kristy.

for we are not as the many, adulterating the word of God, but as of sincerity — but as of God; in the presence of God, in Christ we do speak.
