2 Corinthians 12
1 It is doubtless not profitable for me to boast, but I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
Tsy maintsy mirehareha aho, na dia tsy mahasoa aza izany; fa handroso hilaza fahitana sy fanambaran’ ny Tompo aho.
2 I know a man in Christ who was caught up into the third heaven fourteen years ago—whether in the body, I don’t know, or whether out of the body, I don’t know; God knows.
Mahalala olona anankiray ao amin’ i Kristy aho, tokony ho efatra ambin’ ny folo taona lasa izay ― na tao amin’ ny tena, na tsy tao amin’ ny tena, tsy fantatro, Andriamanitra no mahalala ― ilay anankiray dia nakarina ho any amin’ ny lanitra fahatelo.
3 I know such a man (whether in the body, or outside of the body, I don’t know; God knows),
Ary mahalala ilay olona anankiray aho ― na tao amin’ ny tena, na tsy tao amin’ ny tena, tsy fantatro, Andriamanitra no mahalala ―
4 how he was caught up into Paradise and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
fa nakarina ho any Paradisa izy ka nandre teny tsy azo tenenina sady tsy tokony holazain’ olona.
5 On behalf of such a one I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except in my weaknesses.
Ilay anankiray no hataoko rehareha; fa ny amin’ ny tenako dia tsy hirehareha aho afa-tsy amin’ ny fahalemena ihany.
6 For if I would desire to boast, I will not be foolish; for I will speak the truth. But I refrain, so that no man may think more of me than that which he sees in me or hears from me.
Fa na dia te-hirehareha aza aho, dia tsy ho adala, fa hilaza ny marina; nefa tsy manao izany aho, fandrao misy olona mihevitra ahy ho mihoatra noho izay ahitany ahy na izay andrenesany ny teniko.
7 By reason of the exceeding greatness of the revelations, that I should not be exalted excessively, a thorn in the flesh was given to me: a messenger of Satan to torment me, that I should not be exalted excessively.
Ary fandrao hirehareha noho ny habetsaky ny fanambarana aho, dia nasiana tsilo tamin’ ny nofo, dia irak’ i Satana hamely ahy, fandrao hirehareha aho.
8 Concerning this thing, I begged the Lord three times that it might depart from me.
Izany no nangatahako intelo tamin’ ny Tompo, mba hialan’ izany amiko.
9 He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me.
Nefa hoy Izy tamiko; Ampy ho anao ny fahasoavako; fa ny heriko dia tanterahina amin’ ny fahalemena. Koa mainka sitrako ny hirehareha amin’ ny fahalemeko, mba hitoeran’ ny herin’ i Kristy amiko.
10 Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, and in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then am I strong.
Koa dia finaritra aho amin’ ny fahalemena, amin’ ny fampahoriana, amin’ ny fahaterena, amin’ ny fanenjehana, amin’ ny fahantrana, noho ny amin’ i Kristy; fa ny fahalemeko no fahatanjahako.
11 I have become foolish in boasting. You compelled me, for I ought to have been commended by you, for I am in no way inferior to the very best apostles, though I am nothing.
Efa tonga adala aho; ianareo no nahatery ahy; fa tokony hoderainareo aho, satria tsy latsaka noho ireo Apostoly ambony indrindra ireo, na dia tsinontsinona aza aho.
12 Truly the signs of an apostle were worked among you in all perseverance, in signs and wonders and mighty works.
Ny famantarana mah’ Apostoly ahy dia natao teo aminareo tokoa tamin’ ny faharetana rehetra, tamin’ ny famantarana sy ny fahagagana ary tamin’ ny asa lehibe.
13 For what is there in which you were made inferior to the rest of the assemblies, unless it is that I myself was not a burden to you? Forgive me this wrong!
Fa inona moa no nahalatsaka anareo noho ny fiangonana sasany, afa-tsy ny tsy namakiako tratra anareo? Mamelà ahy ary amin’ izany fahadisoana izany.
14 Behold, this is the third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not be a burden to you; for I seek not your possessions, but you. For the children ought not to save up for the parents, but the parents for the children.
Indro, efa fanintelony izao no vonona hankatỳ aminareo aho, nefa tsy hahavaky tratra anareo; fa tsy ny fanananareo no tadiaviko, fa ianareo; fa tsy ny zanaka no tokony hihary ho an’ ny ray aman-dreniny, fa ny ray aman-dreniny no tokony hihary ho an’ ny zanany.
15 I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls. If I love you more abundantly, am I loved the less?
Ary izaho dia faly indrindra handany sy holanina hahasoa ny fanahinareo, na dia araka ny fitombon’ ny fitiavako anareo aza no fihenan’ ny fitiavanareo ahy.
16 Even so, I myself didn’t burden you. But you might say that being crafty, I caught you with deception.
Kanefa, na dia izany aza, izaho tsy nahavaky tratra anareo, fa nanao saina, hono, aho, dia nahazo anareo tamin’ ny fihendrena.
17 Did I take advantage of you by anyone of those whom I have sent to you?
Moa izay nirahiko tany aminareo va nisy nanaovako anareo ho vola aman-karena?
18 I exhorted Titus, and I sent the brother with him. Did Titus take any advantage of you? Didn’t we walk in the same spirit? Didn’t we walk in the same steps?
Nangataka an’ i Titosy aho, sady nirahiko nomba azy ilay rahalahy. Moa Titosy va nanao anareo ho vola aman-karena? Tsy fanahy iray ihany va no nandehananay? Tsy iray ihany va no dianay?
19 Again, do you think that we are excusing ourselves to you? In the sight of God we speak in Christ. But all things, beloved, are for your edifying.
Efa ela izay no nanaovanareo anay ho miala tsiny aminareo. Eo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra no itenenanay ao amin’ i Kristy; fa ny zavatra rehetra, ry malala, dia ho fampandrosoana anareo.
20 For I am afraid that perhaps when I come, I might find you not the way I want to, and that I might be found by you as you don’t desire, that perhaps there would be strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, factions, slander, whisperings, proud thoughts, or riots,
Fa matahotra aho, fandrao, rehefa tonga aho, dia hahita anareo ho toy izay tsy tiako, ary ho hitanareo aho ho toy izay tsy tianareo; fandrao hisy fifandirana, fialonana, fiafonafonana, fifampiandaniana, fanaratsiana, fibitsibitsihana, fieboeboana, fikotranana, ―
21 that again when I come my God would humble me before you, and I would mourn for many of those who have sinned before now, and not repented of the uncleanness, sexual immorality, and lustfulness which they committed.
eny, fandrao, rehefa tonga indray aho, dia hampietry ahy eo anatrehanareo Andriamanitro, ary izaho hanana alahelo amin’ ny maro izay nanota teo aloha ka tsy mbola nibebaka tamin’ ny fahalotoana sy ny fijangajangana ary ny fijejojejoana nataony.
