I Corinthians 2

Ary izaho koa, ry rahalahy, raha tonga tany aminareo, dia tsy tonga tamin'ny teny sy fahendrena marevaka, raha nitory taminareo ny zava-miafina izay an'Andriamanitra.

And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.

Fa ninia tsy hahafantatra zavatra hafa teo aminareo aho, afa-tsy Jesosy Kristy, indrindra fa Izy voahombo tamin'ny hazo fijaliana;

For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

ary izaho, raha tany aminareo, dia azon'ny fahalemena sy ny fahatahorana ary ny fangovitana be;

And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.

ary ny teniko sy ny toriteniko dia tsy tamin'ny teny fahendrena mahataona, fa tamin'ny fanehoan'ny Fanahy sy ny hery,

And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:

mba tsy niorenan'ny finoanareo amin'ny fahendren'ny olona, fa amin'ny herin'Andriamanitra ihany.

That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

Anefa milaza fahendrena amin'ny efa matanjaka izahay, fa tsy ny fahendren'izao tontolo izao, na ny an'ny mpanapaka izao tontolo izao, izay olona mihalevona;

Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:

fa milaza ny fahendren'Andriamanitra izahay ka maneho zava-niafina, dia fahendrena izay nafenina sady voatendrin'Andriamanitra ho voninahitsika talohan'ny nanaovana izao tontolo izao;

But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:

ary tsy nisy nahalala izany ny mpanapaka izao tontolo izao; fa raha nahalala izy, dia tsy nohomboany tamin'ny hazo fijaliana ny Tompon'ny voninahitra.

Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

Fa araka ny voasoratra hoe: Izay tsy mbola hitan'ny maso ary tsy mbola ren'ny sofina, na niditra tao am-pon'ny olona, na inona na inona no efa namboarin'Andriamanitra ho an'izay tia Azy (Isa. 64. 3),

But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

dia isika no nanambaran'Andriamanitra izany tamin'ny Fanahy; fa ny Fanahy mamantatra ny zavatra rehetra, na dia ny saina lalina izay an'Andriamanitra aza.

But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

Fa iza no olona mahalala ny ao am-pon'olona, afa-tsy ny fanahin'ny olona izay ao anatiny ihany? Ary toy izany koa, tsy misy mahalala ny ao am-pon'Andriamanitra afa-tsy ny Fanahin'Andriamanitra ihany.

For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.

Fa isika tsy nandray ny fanahin'izao tontolo izao, fa ny Fanahy Izay avy amin'Andriamanitra, mba ho fantatsika izay zavatra nomen'Andriamanitra antsika.

Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

Izany koa no lazainay, tsy amin'ny teny ampianarin'ny fahendren'olona fa amin'ny teny ampianarin'ny Fanahy, raha milaza zava-panahy amin'izay olona araka ny Fanahy izahay.

Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

Fa ny olona izay araka ny nofo ihany dia tsy mba mandray izay an'ny Fanahin'Andriamanitra; fa fahadalana aminy izany sady tsy azony, satria araka ny Fanahy no amantarana izany.

But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

Fa ny olona araka ny Fanahy kosa dia mahafantatra ny zavatra rehetra, kanefa izy tsy fantarin'olona.

But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.

Fa iza no nahafantatra ny sain'ny Tompo mba hampianatra Azy? (Isa. 40. 13). Fa izahay manana ny sain'i Kristy.

For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
