2 Korintiana 1
1 I Paoly, Firàhe’ Iesoà Norizañey ami’ty satrin’ Añahare, naho i Timoty rahalahintika. Ho ami’ty Fivorin’ Añahare e Korinto ao mitraoke amo noro’e iaby miparaitake Akaia añeo.
To the Church of God in Corinth, and to all Christ’s People throughout Greece, from Paul, an Apostle of Christ Jesus, by the will of God, and from Timothy, a Brother.
2 Hasoa naho fañanintsiñe ama’areo boak’ aman’ Añahare Raentika naho Iesoà Talè Norizañey.
May God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ bless you and give you peace.
3 Andriañeñ’ abey t’i Andrianañahare Rae’ i Talèntika Iesoà Norizañey, i Raem-pitretrezañe naho Andrianañahare’ ze hene fañohoañey, toe Andrianañahare.
Blessed is the God and Father of Jesus Christ our Lord, the all-merciful Father, the God ever ready to console,
4 Ie ty mañohò anay amo hasotria’ay iabio, hañohoa’ay ka o mioremèñeo, amy fañohoañe añohoan’ Añahare anaiy,
who consoles us in all our troubles, so that we may be able to console those who are in any trouble with the consolation that we ourselves receive from him.
5 Hambañe amy te mitobake ama’ay o hasotria’ i Norizañeio, ty andoparam-pañohoañe añamy Norizañey.
It is true that we have our full share of the sufferings of the Christ, but through the Christ we have also our full share of consolation.
6 Naho ampalovilovien-jahay, le ho ami’ty fañosihañe naho fandrombahañe anahareo; ie ohòñen-jahay le ho fañosihañe anahareo kanao mifeake ami’ty fijaleañe nijalea’ay.
If we meet with trouble, it is for the sake of your consolation and salvation; and, if we find consolation, it is for the sake of the consolation that you will experience when you are called to endure the very sufferings that we ourselves are enduring;
7 Tsy mihilotse ty fisalalà’ay anahareo, fohiñe t’ie mitraok’ amo fisotria’aio le manahake izay ka amy fañohòañey.
and our hope for you remains unshaken. We know that, as you are sharing our sufferings, you will also share our consolation.
8 O ry longo, tsy tea’ay te tsy hapota’ areo o feh’ ohatse nanoañe anay Asia añeo, izahay nampilogolgoeñe mandikoatse ty haozara’ay, vaho ho namoe aiñe.
We want you, Brothers, to know that, in the troubles which befell us in Roman Asia, we were burdened altogether beyond our strength, so much so that we even despaired of life.
9 Eka, an-tro’ay ao ‘nio te voa-fatse havetrake, soa tsy hiato-batañe, fa aman’ Añahare mpampitroatse o vilasio;
Indeed, we had the presentiment that we must die, so that we might rely, not on ourselves, but on God who raises the dead.
10 ie nañaha anay ami’ty fihomaham-bey, toe mamotsotse, naho itama’ay te mbe hañafake anay.
And from so imminent a death God delivered us, and will deliver us again; for in him we have placed our hopes of future deliverance, while you, also, help us by your prayers.
11 Tovo’e ty fañolora’areo: mifanehake ho anay an-kalaly; fa kanao maro ty mihalaly, maro ka ty hañandriañe t’ie voavale.
And then many lips will give thanks on our behalf for the blessing granted us in answer to many prayers.
12 Inao ty fisengea’ay, ie ventem-pitsakoreañe, te o fitoloña’ay an-tane atoy, antsake ama’areo, le nanoeñe ankazavan-troke naho an-kalio-tahiñe—tsy ami’ty hakante’ ty tane toy, fa ami’ty hasoa natolon’ Añahare.
Indeed, our main ground for satisfaction is this — Our conscience tells us that our conduct in the world, and still more in our relations with you, was marked by a purity of motive and a sincerity that were inspired by God, and was based, not on worldly policy, but on the help of God.
13 Toe tsy anokira’ay naho tsy o vaki’ areo naho fohi’ areoo, fe atokisako t’ie haharendreke pak’am-pigadoña’e henaneo,
We never write anything to you other than what you will acknowledge to the very end —
14 toe eo ty nirendre’ areo ama’ay, te inahareo ro foto’ ty fisengea’ay, naho zahay anahareo amy andro’ Iesoà Talèntikañey.
And, indeed, you have already partly acknowledged it about us — that you have a right to be proud of us, as we shall be proud of you, on the Day of our Lord Jesus.
15 Amy fatokisañe zay, ty nilaharako te hiheo mb’ama’ areo mb’eo heike, hahazoa’ areo tilike fañindroe’e,
With this conviction in my mind, I planned to come to see you first, so that your pleasure might be doubled —
16 Eka, hiary mb’ama’ areo iraho naho mb’e Makedonia ao vaho hibalike, hampionjona’ areo mb’e Iehodà añe.
To visit you both on my way to Macedonia, and to come to you again on my return from Macedonia, and then to get you to send me on my way into Judea.
17 Nifejofejo hao iraho amy nilaharakoy? He i italifirakoy ro nisafirieko amy haondaty hambo’ey ao? soa te songa hanoeko ty hoe Eka, Eka naho Aiy avao?
As this was my plan, where, pray, did I show any fickleness of purpose? Or do you think that my plans are formed on mere impulse, so that in the same breath I say ‘Yes’ and ‘No’?
18 Fe manahake te migahiñe t’i Andrianañahare, le tsy Eka naho Aiy o fivola’ay ama’ areoo.
As God is true, the Message that we brought you does not waver between ‘Yes’ and ‘No’!
19 Amy te tsy Eka naho Aiy i Anan’ Añahare, Iesoà Norizañe nitaroñe’ay naho i Silasy vaho i Timoty ama’ areoy, fa Eka avao ty ama’e ao.
The Son of God, Christ Jesus, whom we — Silas, Timothy, and I — proclaimed among you, never wavered between ‘Yes’ and ‘No.’ With him it has always been ‘Yes.’
20 Aa ndra fire-fire ty fampitamàn’ Añahare, le hene Eka o ama’eo; vaho ie ty anoa’ay Amena amy fandrengea’ay an’ Andrianañaharey.
For, many as were the promises of God, in Christ is the ‘Yes’ that fulfils them. Therefore, through Christ again, let the ‘Amen’ rise, through us, to the glory of God.
21 Fa mampipitike antikañe amy Norizañey t’i Andrianañahare, ie hinoso’e
God who brings us, with you, into close union with Christ, and who consecrated us,
22 naho vinoli-tombo’e vaho natolo’e an-tron-tikañ’ ao i Arofo’ey ho tsaloke.
also set his seal upon us, and gave us his Spirit in our hearts as a pledge of future blessings.
23 Aa le koiheko ho valolombelon-troko t’i Andrianañahare te i fiheveako anahareoy ty tsy nombako mb’e Korinto mb’eo heike.
But, as my life shall answer for it, I call God to witness that it was to spare you that I deferred my visit to Corinth.
24 Tsy te senge’ay hery o fatokisa’ areoo, f’ie mpifanehake ama’ areo ho ami’ty hafalea’ areo, amy t’ie mijadoñe soa am-patokisañe.
I do not mean that we are to dictate to you with regard to your faith; on the contrary, we work with you for your true happiness; indeed, it is through your faith that you are standing firm.
