2 Korintiana 13

1 Ho lìako fahatelo mb’ama’ areo mb’eo itoy: Am-paliem-balolombeloñe telo ndra roe ty hampijadoñeñe ze hene saontsy.

This will be my third visit to you. Out of the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be confirmed.

2 Le o nandilatseo naho o ila’eo, toe ho taroñeko miaolo, t’ie mbe tsy añe, te hambañe amy vinolako amy fañindroeko teoy, t’ie homb’eo indraike, le tsy ia ty hapoko,

I have said formerly, and I now forewarn you as when I was present the second time, so now when I am absent the second time, so now when I am absent, saying to those who had sinned before, and to all the rest, "If I come again, I will not spare,"

3 amy te paia’areo hamenteañe i Norizañe misaontsy añamakoy; ie tsy maleme ama’ areo, fa toe maozatse ama’ areo.

Since you want a proof of Christ who is speaking in me, he who is not feeble toward you, but powerful among you.

4 Toe pinèke amy halemea’ey re fe veloñe an-kaozaran’ Añahare. Maleme ama’e ao zahay, fe ho veloñe ama’e ty amy haozaran’ Añahare mitoloñe ho anahareo.

For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he now lives through the power of God. I also am weak, sharing in his weakness, but I shall live with him by the power of God.

5 Mitsohà vatañe hera amam-patokisañe. Miventea! Tsy fohi’ areo hao te añ’arofo’ areo ao t’Iesoà Norizañe?—naho tsy t’ie nilesa amy fitsohañey.

Examine yourselves to see if you are in the faith; put your own selves to the proof. Or do you not know, your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you, unless indeed you fail to abide the proof?

6 Isalalako te ho fohi’ areo te tsy milesa zahay.

But I hope you will find that I abide the proof.

7 Aa le halalie’ay aman’ Añahare te tsy handilatse nahareo, tsy te hampiboake anay ho nahatafetetse, fa te hanoe’ areo ze mahity, ndra te hatao naito zahay.

And my prayer to God is that you may do no evil; not in order that I may appear approved, but that you may do what is noble, though I should seem unable to abide the proof.

8 Tsy lefe’ay ty mandietse ty hatò, te mone honjone’ay ty hatò.

For I have no power against the truth, but only in defense of the truth.

9 Ifalea’ay ty haleme’ay naho te inahareo ro maozatse; eka ihalalia’ay t’ie ho fonireñe.

For I am always glad whenever I am weak, but you are strong. For this also I am praying, for your perfect reformation.

10 Izay i nisokirakoy, izaho tsy ama’ areo, soa tsy hisenge hery ama’areo te miatreke, ty amy lily natolo’ i Talè ahiko ho ami’ty fañasoàñe, fa tsy ho ami’ty fandrobahañe.

For this reason I am writing thus while absent, so that when I come, I may not have to deal sharply, according to the authority which the Lord gave me for building up, and not for pulling down.

11 Ie amy zao, ry longo, mirebeha, mihafonira, manintsiña, miharoa rehake, mifampilongoa; lonike ho ama’ areo i Andriam-pilongoañe naho fikokoañey.

Finally, brothers, farewell. Aim at perfection, take courage, be of one mind, live in peace; so shall the God of love and peace be with you.

12 Mifañontanea añ’ oroke miavake.

Salute one another with a holy kiss.

13 Songa mañontane anahareo o noro’eo.

All the saints salute you.

14 Ho ama’ areo iaby abey ty hasoa’ Iesoà Talè Norizañey, naho ty fikokoan’ Añahare, vaho ty fitraofañ’ ìna amy Arofo Masiñey. Amena.

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