2 Corinthians 11
1 I wish you could have borne with a little foolish boasting on my part. Nay, do bear with me.
Ani gowwummaa koo ishee xinnoo naa obsitu jedheen abdadha; duraanuu naa obsitaniirtu.
2 I am jealous over you with God's own jealousy. For I have betrothed you to Christ to present you to Him like a faithful bride to her one husband.
Ani hinaaffaa Waaqaatiin isiniif nan hinaafa. Ani akka durba tokkootti fuula isaa duratti isin dhiʼeessuuf dhirsa tokko jechuunis Kiristoosiif isin kaadhimeeraatii.
3 But I am afraid that, as the serpent in his craftiness deceived Eve, so your minds may be led astray from their single-heartedness and their fidelity to Christ.
Garuu akkuma bofti haxxummaa isaatiin Hewaanin gowwoomse sana yaadni keessanis akkasuma dhugaa fi qulqullina ittiin Kiristoosiif of kennitan sana irraa ni dogoggorfama jedheen sodaadha.
4 If indeed some visitor is proclaiming among you another Jesus whom we did not proclaim, or if you are receiving a Spirit different from the One you have already received or a Good News different from that which you have already welcomed, your toleration is admirable!
Namni tokko gara keessan dhufee yoo Yesuus nu isinii lallabne malee Yesuus kan biraa isinii lallabe, yookaan Hafuura nu isinii lallabne malee hafuura kan biraa yoo fudhattan, yookaan wangeela nu isinii lallabne malee wangeela kan biraa yoo fudhattan ni obsitu.
5 Why, I reckon myself in no respect inferior to those superlatively great Apostles.
Ani, “Ergamoota hangafoota” sanaa gaditti of hin ilaalu.
6 And if in the matter of speech I am no orator, yet in knowledge I am not deficient. Nay, we have in every way made that fully evident to you.
Ani dubbiitti leenjii hin qabu; garuu beekumsa qaba. Kanas karaa hundaan sirriitti isinii ibsineerra.
7 Is it a sin that I abased myself in order for you to be exalted, in that I proclaimed God's Good News to you without fee or reward?
Wangeela Waaqaa gatii malee isinitti lallabuudhaan akka isin ol ol jettaniif ani gad of qabuun koo cubbuu turee?
8 Other Churches I robbed, receiving pay from them in order to do you service.
Ani isin tajaajiluuf jedhee gargaarsa isaan irraa fudhachuudhaan waldoota kiristaanaa kaan saameera.
9 And when I was with you and my resources failed, there was no one to whom I became a burden--for the brethren when they came from Macedonia fully supplied my wants--and I kept myself from being in the least a burden to you, and will do so still.
Ani yeroon isin bira turee fi yeroo waa na barbaachisetti eenyutti illee baʼaa hin taane; obboloonni Maqedooniyaa irraa dhufan waan na barbaachisuun na gargaaraa turaniitii. Anis waanuma tokkoon illee akka baʼaa isinitti hin taaneef of eeggachaan ture; amma illee ittuma fufee ofin eeggadha.
10 Christ knows that it is true when I say that I will not be stopped from boasting of this anywhere in Greece.
Hamma dhugaan Kiristoos na keessa jirutti boonuu koo kana kutaalee biyya Akaayaa keessatti eenyu iyyuu na dhowwuu hin dandaʼu.
11 And why? Because I do not love you? God knows that I do.
Maaliif? Ani waan isin hin jaallanneef moo? Isin jaallachuu koo Waaqni ni beeka!
12 But I will persist in the same line of conduct in order to cut the ground from under the feet of those who desire an opportunity of getting themselves recognized as being on a level with us in the matters about which they boast.
Warra waan ittiin boonaniin nuun qixxaachuuf jedhanii carraa barbaaddatan carraa dhowwachuuf ani waanan amma hojjedhu ittuma fufee nan hojjedha.
13 For men of this stamp are sham apostles, dishonest workmen, assuming the garb of Apostles of Christ.
Namoonni akkanaa ergamoota sobaa, hojjettoota nama gowwoomsan, warra ergamoota Kiristoos fakkaachuuf of geeddaranii dha.
14 And no wonder. Satan, their master, can disguise himself as an angel of light.
Seexanni mataan isaa ergamaa ifaa fakkaachuuf waan of geeddaruuf kun nama hin dinqu.
15 It is therefore no great thing for his servants also to disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will be in accordance with their actions.
Egaa tajaajiltoonni isaas yoo tajaajiltoota qajeelummaa fakkaachuuf of geeddaran kun waan nama dinqu miti. Dhumni isaaniis akkuma hojii isaanii taʼa.
16 To return to what I was saying. Let no one suppose that I am foolish. Or if you must, at any rate make allowance for me as being foolish, in order that I, as well as they, may boast a little.
Ani ammas irra deebiʼee nan dubbadha: Namni tokko iyyuu gowwaa na hin seʼin. Isin yoo gowwaa na seetan ani xinnoo akkan boonuuf akkuma gowwaa tokkootti na fudhadhaa.
17 What I am now saying, I do not say by the Lord's command, but as a fool in his folly might, in this reckless boasting.
Ani of amanadhee boonuu kana keessatti akka gowwaa tokkoottin dubbadha malee akka Gooftaan dubbatutti hin dubbadhu.
18 Since many boast for merely human reasons, I too will boast.
Waan namoonni hedduun akkuma yaada fooniitti boonaniif, anis nan boona.
19 Wise as you yourselves are, you find pleasure in tolerating fools.
Isin ogeeyyii waan taataniif gammachuudhaan gowwootaaf obsitu!
20 For you tolerate it, if any one enslaves you, lives at your expense, makes off with your property, gives himself airs, or strikes you on the face.
Yoo eenyu iyyuu isin garboomfate yookaan yoo isin irraa nyaate yookaan yoo faayidaa ofiitiif isinitti fayyadame yookaan yoo koore yookaan yoo isin kabale ni obsituutii.
21 I use the language of self-disparagement, as though I were admitting our own feebleness. Yet for whatever reason any one is 'courageous' --I speak in mere folly--I also am courageous.
Akka nu waan akkasii irratti dadhaboo turre ani qaanaʼaa nan dubbadha. Ani akka gowwaa tokkoottin dubbadha; waan namni kam iyyuu ittiin of jajuu fi ija jabaatu sana anis ittiin of jajuuf ija nan jabaa dha.
22 Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they descendants of Abraham? So am I.
Isaan Ibrootaa? Anis akkasuma. Isaan Israaʼelootaa? Anis akkasuma. Isaan sanyii Abrahaamii? Anis akkasuma.
23 Are they servants of Christ? (I speak as if I were out of my mind.) Much more am I His servant; serving Him more thoroughly than they by my labours, and more thoroughly also by my imprisonments, by excessively cruel floggings, and with risk of life many a time.
Isaan tajaajiltoota Kiristoosii? Ani akka nama qalbii dabarseettin dubbadhaatii ani nan caala. Ani caalchisee baayʼee itti dadhabeera; caalchisee yeroo baayʼee hidhameera; caalchisee akka malee garafameera; ammumaa ammas duʼaaf saaxilameera.
24 From the Jews I five times have received forty lashes all but one.
Harka Yihuudootaattis siʼa shan afurtama jechuu tokko hanquu garafameera.
25 Three times I have been beaten with Roman rods, once I have been stoned, three times I have been shipwrecked, once for full four and twenty hours I was floating on the open sea.
Siʼa sadii uleen dhaanameera; siʼa tokko dhagaadhaan tumameera; siʼa sadii dooniin na jalaa caccabeera; halkan tokkoo fi guyyaa tokko galaana keessa tureera;
26 I have served Him by frequent travelling, amid dangers in crossing rivers, dangers from robbers; dangers from my own countrymen, dangers from the Gentiles; dangers in the city, dangers in the Desert, dangers by sea, dangers from spies in our midst;
ani utuun wal irraa hin kutin deemsa irra ture. Balaan lagaa, balaan saamtotaa, balaan saba kootii, balaan Namoota Ormaa, magaalaa keessatti balaan, gammoojjii keessatti balaan, galaana irratti balaan, obboloota sobaa irraas balaan na mudatee ture.
27 with labour and toil, with many a sleepless night, in hunger and thirst, in frequent fastings, in cold, and with insufficient clothing.
Ani baayʼee hojjedhee bututeera; halkan baayʼee hirriba dhabeera; beelaʼeera; dheebodheera; yeroo baayʼee soomeera; dhaamodheera; daareeras.
28 And besides other things, which I pass over, there is that which presses on me daily--my anxiety for all the Churches.
Kana hundumaa caalaa yaaddoo ani waldoota kiristaanaa hundumaaf qabutu guyyaa guyyaan natti ulfaata.
29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is led astray into sin, and I am not aflame with indignation?
Eenyutu dadhabaa dha? Ani hin dadhabuu ree? Eenyutu hin gufanne? Ani aaree hin gubadhuu ree?
30 If boast I must, it shall be of things which display my weakness.
Ani yoon of jajuu qabaadhe waan dadhabbii koo mulʼisuun of nan jaja.
31 The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ--He who is blessed throughout the Ages--knows that I am speaking the truth. (aiōn g165)
Waaqaa fi Abbaan Gooftaa Yesuus inni bara baraan eebbifamu sun akka ani hin sobne ni beeka. (aiōn g165)
32 In Damascus the governor under King Aretas kept guards at the gates of the city in order to apprehend me,
Damaasqoo keessatti namichi mooticha Areexaas jalatti bulchaa biyyaa ture na qabsiisuuf jedhee magaalaa namoota Damaasqoo eegsisaa ture.
33 but through an opening in the wall I was let down in a basket, and so escaped his hands.
Ani garuu foddaa dallaa keessaan guuboodhaan gad buufamee harka isaa jalaa baʼe.
