2 Corinthians 6
1 As workers together with God we also plead with you not to make your acceptance of God's grace worthless.
Aa kanao mifanehake, risihe’ay anahareo ty tsy handrambe ty hasoan’ Añahare vaho hilesa.
2 Just as God said, “At the right time I heard you, and on the day of salvation I rescued you.” Believe me: now is the right time! Now is the day of salvation!
Fa hoe re: Nitsanoñ’ azo raho ami’ty andro mete vaho nañolotse azo ami’ty androm-pandrombahañe. Inao, henaneo ty sa mete; Henanekeo i androm-pandrombahañey.
3 We don't put anything in anyone's way that would trip them up, making sure the work we do won't be criticized.
Tsy anoe’ay ty hampitsikapy iaia ama-ndra inoñ’ inoñe, kera ho tiñeañe i fitoroñañey.
4 Instead we try to demonstrate we are good servants of God in every way we can. With a great deal of patience we put up with all kinds of trouble, hardship, and distress.
Fe, ventè’ay amy ze he’e t’ie mpitoron’ Añahare: am-pifeahañe mañore, an-kaloviloviañe, an-koheke, am-pamorekekeañe,
5 We have been beaten up, thrown into prison, and attacked by mobs. We have been worked to the bone, suffering sleepless nights and hunger.
am-pofoheñe, am-porozò ao, am-pandragaragàñe, an-kamokorañe, ie azo ty tsareke, le an-kasalikoañe,
6 We demonstrate who we are by living blameless lives in the knowledge of God, with a great deal of patience, being kind and filled with the Holy Spirit, showing sincere love.
an-kalio-tahiñe, am-paharendrehañe, am-pahaliñisañe, an-tretre amy Arofo Masiñey vaho an-koko tsy voroteñe,
7 We speak truthfully, living in the power of God. Our weapons consist of what is true and right; we attack with our right hand and we defend with our left.
an-tsara vantañe, an-kaozaran’ Añahare, am-pialian-kavañonañe am-pitàn-kavana naho havia,
8 We continue whether we are honored or dishonored, whether we are cursed or praised. People call us frauds but we tell the truth.
he asiñeñe ke mavoeñe, he fosaeñe ke rengèñe; atao mpamañahy f’ie mahity;
9 We are disregarded, even though we are well-known; given up for dead, but we're still alive; lashed, but not killed.
hoe tsy fohiñe fe arofoanañe; hoe mikenkañe fe hehe t’ie veloñe; nililoveñe fe tsy vinono;
10 Seen as miserable, we are always rejoicing; as poor, but we make many rich; as destitute, but we own everything!
hoe mandala f’ie nainai’e mandia taroba; hoe rarake fe mampañaleale ty maro; hoe poi’e te mone kila anay.
11 I've been speaking bluntly, my Corinthian friends, loving you with a big heart!
O ry nte-Korinto! manoka-palie ama’ areo zahay, mivañavaña o tro’aio.
12 We haven't kept our love from you, but you have kept your love from us.
Tsy t’ie manebañe anahareo, fe azi’ ty añova’ areo ao.
13 Please respond in the same way, as if you were my children, and be big-hearted!
Antao hifampira—hoe mirehake aman’ ajaja raho—midañadañà troke ka.
14 Don't join together with people who don't believe—for what connection does goodness have with wickedness? What do light and darkness have in common?
Ko miharo joka amo tsy miatoo. Fa ino ty itraofa’ ty havantañañe ami’ty tsi-fañorihan-Kake? ke ino ty iharoa’ ty zava ami’ty ieñe?
15 How could Christ and the Devil ever agree? How could a believer and an unbeliever share together?
He akore ty hitraofa’ i Norizañey saontsy amy Beliale? ke ino ty iharoa’ ty mpiato ami’ty tsy miato?
16 What compromise could the Temple of God make with idols? For we are a temple of the living God, just as God said: “I will live in them and walk among them. I will be their God, and they will be my people.”
Aia ty hitraofa’ i anjomban’ Añaharey amo sampon-drahao? toe Anjomban’ Añahare veloñe tika. Fa hoe t’i Andrianañahare: Himoneñe am’ iareo ao raho, naho ho mbeo’mbeo am’ iereo, le ho Andrianañahare’ iareo raho, vaho h’ondatiko iereo.
17 “So leave them, and separate yourselves from them, says the Lord. Don't touch anything that is unclean, and I will accept you.”
Aa le miakara am’iereo, vaho miavaha, hoe t’i Talè. Ko mitsapa raha faly, le hampihovaeko nahareo.
18 “I will be like a Father to you, and you will be sons and daughters to me, says the Lord Almighty.”
Ho Rae’ areo raho, vaho ho ana-dahiko naho anak-ampelako nahareo, hoe t’i Talè Tsitongerèñe.
