I Corinthians 4

Aoka hataon'ny olona ho mpanompon'i Kristy sy mpitandrina'ny zava-miafina izay an'Andriamanitra izahay.

Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.

Ary raha izany, dia fantatrareo fa ny mpitandrina dia tokony ho olona mahatoky.

Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.

Fa raha ny amiko, dia ataoko ho zavatra kely foana, na hotsarainareo aho, na hotsarain'olona fa ny tenako aza tsy mitsara ahy.

But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man's judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self.

Fa tsy hitako izay tsiniko, nefa tsy mahamarina ahy izany; fa ny Tompo no Mpitsara ahy:

For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord.

koa amin'izany aza mitsara na inona na inona alohan'ny fotoana, dia ny fihavian'ny Tompo, Izay hampiharihary ny zavatra takona ao amin'ny maizina ka hampiseho ny fikasan'ny fo; dia samy hahazo izay derany avy amin'Andriamanitra izy rehetra.

Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.

Ary izany zavatra izany, ry rahalahy, nataoko oha-teny hilaza ahy sy Apolosy noho ny aminareo, mba hianaranareo aminay ny tsy hihoatra noho ny voasoratra, mba tsy hisy hireharehanareo hankalaza ny anankiray, fa hanevateva ny anankiray kosa.

And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another.

Fa iza no mampihoatra anao? Ary inona no anananao, izay tsy noraisinao? Fa raha nandray ihany ianao, nahoana no mirehareha hoatra ny tsy nandray?

For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?

Efa afa-po sahady ianareo, efa manan-karena sahady ianareo, efa manjaka ianareo; kanefa hay! tsy izahay tsy akory no nahazoanareo izany! Enga anie ka manjaka tokoa ianareo, hiarahanay sy ianareo manjaka.

Now ye are full, now ye are rich, ye have reigned as kings without us: and I would to God ye did reign, that we also might reign with you.

Fa ataoko fa nasehon'Andriamanitra ho faraidina izahay Apostoly, dia toy izay voaheloka hovonoina; fa izahay dia natao ho fizàhan'izao rehetra izao, na anjely na olona.

For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men.

Izahay dia adala noho ny amin'i Kristy, fa ianareo no hendry ao amin'i Kristy! izahay malemy, fa ianareo no mahery! ianareo manandaza, fa izahay mavomavo!

We are fools for Christ's sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised.

Mandraka ankehitriny izao dia noana sy mangetaheta sy tsy manan-kitafy sy asiana totohondry ary tsy manana antom-ponenana izahay;

Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace;

Ary misasatra miasa amin'ny tananay izahay; raha tevatevaina izahay, dia misaotra; raha enjehina, dia miaritra;

And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it:

raha tenenina mafy, dia mamaly teny moramora kosa; atao toy ny faditr'izao tontolo izao izahay, dia faikan'ny olona rehetra, mandraka ankehitriny.

Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day.

Tsy ny hahamenatra anareo anefa no anoratako izany zavatra izany, fa mananatra anareo toy ny zanako malalako aho.

I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you.

Fa na dia manana mpampianatra iray alina ao amin'i Kristy aza ianareo, dia tsy maro ray ianareo; fa izaho no niteraka anareo ao amin'i Kristy Jesosy tamin'ny filazantsara.

For though ye have ten thousand instructers in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.

Koa mananatra anareo aho: manahafa ahy ianareo.

Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.

Ary noho izany dia nirahiko ho any aminareo Timoty, zanako malalako sy mahatoky ao amin'ny Tompo, ka izy no hampahatsiaro anareo ny fanaoko ao amin'i Kristy, tahaka ny ampianariko ao amin'ny fiangonana rehetra eny tontolo eny.

For this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, as I teach every where in every church.

Fa ny sasany mirehareha hoatra ilay tsy mikasa ho avy any aminareo iny aho.

Now some are puffed up, as though I would not come to you.

Fa ho avy any aminareo faingana aho, raha sitrapon'ny Tompo, dia ho fantatro izay herin'ireo mpirehareha ireo, fa tsy ny fiteniny.

But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will know, not the speech of them which are puffed up, but the power.

Fa ny fanjakan'Andriamanitra tsy amin'ny teny, fa amin'ny hery.

For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.

Inona ary no tianareo? Ho avy aminareo mitondra tsorakazo va aho, sa amin'ny fitiavana sy ny fahalemem-panahy?

What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, and in the spirit of meekness?
