1 Korintiana 3
1 O ry longo, tsy mahafirehake ama’ areo iraho hoe amo aman’ arofoo, fa hoe amo ama’ nofotseo; hoe ajaja kede amy Norizañey.
But I, Brothers, could not speak to you as men with spiritual insight, but only as worldly-minded — mere infants in the Faith of Christ.
2 Nampikamaeko ronono fa tsy hena; amy t’ie mboe tsy nahaleo naho mboe tsy mahaleo avao.
I fed you with milk, not with solid food, for you were not then able to take it. No, and even now you are not able; you are still worldly.
3 Toe mbe amy nofotsey nahareo, ie zoeñe ama’ areo ty tsikirìke naho ty lietse; aa tsy hatao t’ie amy nofotsey hao, ie hoe ondaty tsotra ty fañaveloa’ areo?
While there exist among you jealousy and party feeling, is it not true that you are worldly, and are acting merely as other men do?
4 Kanao eo ty manao ty hoe: Mpiamy Paoly iraho, naho ty ila’e: Amy Apolosy iraho; aa vaho tsy t’ie manahake ondatio avao hao?
When one says ‘I follow Paul,’ and another ‘I follow Apollos,’ are not you like other men?
5 Ia arè t’i Apolosy? Ia ka t’i Paoly? naho tsy mpitoroñe nampiato anahareo, ie sambe nitolora’ i Talè.
What, I ask, is Apollos? or what is Paul? Servants through whom you were led to accept the Faith; and that only as the Lord helped each of you.
6 Nitongy iraho, nanondrake t’i Apolosy, fa i Andrianañahare ty nampitombo.
I planted, and Apollos watered, but it was God who caused the growth.
7 Aa le sindre ts’inoñe i mpitongiy naho i mpanondrakey, fa i Andrianañahare ty mpampitombo.
Therefore neither the man who plants, nor the man who waters, is of any account, but only God who causes the growth.
8 Lia’e raike ty mpitongy naho ty mpanondrake, songa handrambe ty tambe’e mañeva i fitromaha’ey.
In this the man who plants and the man who waters are one; yet each will receive his own reward in proportion to his own labour.
9 Mpifanehake aman’ Añahare zahay; teten’ Añahare nahareo, fandranjian’ Añahare.
For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s harvest field, God’s building.
10 Ty amy falalàn’ Añahare natolotse ahikoy, le hoe talèm-pandranjy ty nandaharako i mananta’ey, le mamboatse ama’e ty ila’e. Aa soa re te sindre mitomitse amy ty hanovoña’ey t’indaty.
In fulfilment of the charge which God had entrusted to me, I laid the foundation like a skilful master-builder; but another man is now building upon it. Let every one take care how he builds;
11 Fa tsy eo ty mahafañoreñe manantañe ila’ i tafa-oreñey, i Iesoà Norizañey.
for no man can lay any other foundation than the one already laid — Jesus Christ.
12 Aa naho eo ty handranjy amy manantañey, ami’ty volamena, volafoty, vatosoa, hatae, ahetse, ndra setra,
Whatever is used by those who build upon this foundation, whether gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, or straw,
13 songa hidodea ty sata’ ondaty, fa haboa’ i androy, amy te ho bentareñe ami’ty afo, vaho i afoy ty hitsoke ty hasoa-sata’ ondaty.
the quality of each man’s work will become known, for the Day will make it plain; because that Day is to be ushered in with fire, and the fire itself will test the quality of every man’s work.
14 Ie mahatàñe ty nandranjia’ ondaty amy manantañey, le ho tambezeñe.
If any man’s work, which he has built upon that foundation, still remains, he will gain a reward.
15 Ie teno ty sata’ ondaty le fianto ama’e. Toe ho rombahen-dre, fe hoe nitoañe afo.
If any man’s work is burnt up, he will suffer loss; though he himself will escape, but only as one who has passed through fire.
16 Tsy fohi’ areo hao t’ie kivohon’ Añahare, toe imoneña’ i Arofon’ Añaharey?
Do not you know that you are God’s Temple, and that God’s Spirit has his home in you?
17 Ie rotsahe’ ondaty ty kivohon’ Añahare, le ho mongoren’ Añahare, fa miavake i kivohon’ Añaharey; inahareo ‘nio.
If any one destroys the Temple of God, God will destroy him; for the Temple of God is sacred, and so also are you.
18 Asoao tsy hamañahy vatañe. Naho ama’areo ty mihaboke hihitse ami’ty sa toy, soa re te hireke ho bahimo, hiha-hihitse. (aiōn g165)
Let no one deceive himself. If any one among you imagines that, as regards this world, he is a wise man, let him become a ‘fool,’ that he may become wise. (aiōn g165)
19 Amy te hadagolañ’ aman’ Añahare ty hihi’ ty tane toy. Fa hoe ty pinatetse: Tsepahe’e ami’ty hakante’e ty mahilala
For in God’s sight this world’s wisdom is folly. Scripture tells of — ‘One who catches the wise in their own craftiness,’
20 tovo’e: Arofoana’ i Talè ty fitsakorea’ o mahihitseo, te tsy vente’e.
And it says again — ‘The Lord sees how fruitless are the deliberations of the wise.’
21 Asoao tsy ondaty ty hisengeañe, amy te fanaña’ areo ze he’e;
Therefore let no one boast about men; for all things are yours —
22 Ke i Paoly, he i Apolosy, ke i Kefasy, he ty voatse toy, ke ty haveloñe, he ty havilasy, ke o eoo, hera o ho avio; hene anahareo;
Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Kephas, or the world, or life, or death, or the present, or the future — all things are yours!
23 a i Norizañey nahareo vaho aman’ Añahare i Norizañey.
But you are Christ’s and Christ is God’s.
