2 Corinthians 12
1 It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
Mbe hitolom-pitrèñe raho, ndra te tsy vente’e, fe honjoneko o aroñaroñeo naho o famentabentara’ i Talèo.
2 I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knows; ) such an one caught up to the third heaven.
Fantako t’indaty amy Norizañey, ie folo taoñe efats’ amby zay, (ke am-bata’e, tsy haiko, he tsy am-bata’e, amoeako, fa arofoanan’ Añahare), ie nonjoneñe mb’an-dikeram-pahatelo mb’eo.
3 And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knows; )
Ty fohiko am’indatiy—ie nofiko ke niam-bata’e he tsy niambata’e, fa arofoanan’ Añahare—
4 How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, (rhema) which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
ie nampionjoneñe mb’ an-tanen-kavelom-b’eo vaho nahajanjiñe saontsy tsy mete volañeñe, fa faly tsy azo saontsie’ ondaty.
5 Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory, but in mine infirmities.
Ho rengeko i nitalilieñey, fe tsy hisenge ty vatako naho tsy amy hakepehakoy.
6 For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but now I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he sees me to be, or that he hears of me.
Aa ndra t’ie hirenge, tsy hanao minè, fa ty hatò avao ty ho volañeko; fe ifoneñako, kera hañonjona’e ahy ambone’ ty isa’ondaty amako naho ze janji’e amako.
7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.
Aa ke ho rengevoheko ty hara’elahi’ o famentabentarañeo, le nampitsipohem-patike ty nofoko, ìra’ i mpañìnjey hamolevole ahiko, hikalañ’ ahy tsy hiebotsebotse.
8 For this thing I besought the Lord three times, that it might depart from me.
Fa in-telo ty nihalalieko amy Talè t’ie hasitake amako.
9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for you: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
Fe hoe re tamako: Mahaeneñe azo o hasoako, vaho fonireñe an-kavozoañe o haozarakoo. Aa le ho sengeko an-kaehake i falejolejokoy, soa te himoneñe amako ato ty faozara’ i Norizañey.
10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
Aa le mahafale ahy o haifoifoko, o fañinjeañeo, o haemberañeo, o fampisoañañeo, vaho o faloviloviañe ty amy Norizañeio, toe maozatse raho te màmake.
11 I am become a fool in glorying; all of you have compelled me: for I ought to have been commended of you: for in nothing am I behind the very chiefest apostles, though I be nothing.
Misare gege raho, fe nizizie’ areo. Toko’e inahareo ty nandrenge ahiko; amy te, tsy zai’ o Firàheñe mitiotiotseo ndra ami’ty inoñ’ inon-draho, ndra te tsy manjofake.
12 Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds.
Fa nimaneañe am-pahaliñisañe añatrefa’ areo o vilom-Piràheñe too—o famantarañeo naho o halatsañeo naho o raha tsitantaneo.
13 For what is it wherein all of you were inferior to other churches, except it be that I myself was not burdensome to you? forgive me this wrong.
Aa vaho inoñe ty nahamasay anahareo amo Fivory ila’eo, naho tsy te zaho tsy naloetse ama’ areo? Iheveo i nandilarakoy!
14 Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be burdensome to you: for I seek not your's but you: for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.
Oniño, t’ie veka’e henaneo ty homb’ ama’ areo añe fañintelo’e; tsy te hampivaveako vaho tsy ipaiako vara, fa inahareo, amy te tsy o ajajao ty mañaja ho aman-droae, fa o roae’eo ho a o ana’eo.
15 And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved.
Mahaehake ahy ty hañenga naho hengaeñe ho anahareo, aa naho losoreko ty fikokoako, hazetse hao ty fikokoañe ahiko?
16 But be it so, I did not burden you: nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you with guile.
Ndra te zay, tsy niloerako. F’ie mahay fañahy le nitsepake anahareo an-ka’kalitahañe.
17 Did I make a gain of you by any of them whom I sent unto you?
He nañaramamoako amo nañirahakoo?
18 I desired Titus, and with him I sent a brother. Did Titus make a gain of you? walked we not in the same spirit? (pneuma) walked we not in the same steps?
Nosiheko t’i Titosy vaho nampindrezako ty rahalahy. Nañaramamo anahareo hao t’i Titosy? Tsy añ’ arofo raike naho an-dia raike hao o fañaveloa’aio?
19 Again, think all of you that we excuse ourselves unto you? we speak before God in Christ: but we do all things, dearly beloved, for your edifying.
Atao’ areo t’ie nitolom-piveroke ama’ areo hao hatrela zay? Toe añatrefan’ Añahare, amy Norizañey ty nitaroña’ay, ry rañetse, hampiraorao anahareo.
20 For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and that I shall be found unto you such as all of you would not: lest there be debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults:
Ty maha-mahimahiñ’ahy, zaho hiheo mb’eo, he tsy ho treako ami’ty fisalalàko, vaho tsy ho isa’ areo ami’ty fañiria’ areo ahy; ke eo ty liedietse, ty tsikirìke, ty loa-tiñake, ty firahambañe, ty fandrabioñe, ty fitsikotsikoañe, ty evoñevoñe, vaho ty havalitsikotahañe.
21 And lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and that I shall mourn for many which have sinned already, and have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they have committed.
Hera te hombako mb’eo indraike, le haketran’ Añahareko añatrefa’ areo, vaho hirovetako o maro nandilatse mbe tsy nisoloho amy leotseio, o hakarapiloañeo naho ze hasalarañe nanoeñe.
