2 Corinthians 11
1 I wish that you would bear with me in a little foolishness, but indeed you do bear with me.
Ani gowwummaa koo ishee xinnoo naa obsitu jedheen abdadha; duraanuu naa obsitaniirtu.
2 For I am jealous over you with a godly jealousy. For I promised you in marriage to one husband, that I might present you as a pure virgin to Messiah.
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 somehow, as the serpent deceived Havah in his craftiness, so your minds might be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Messiah.
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 For if he who comes preaches another Yeshua whom we didn’t proclaim, or if you receive a different spirit which you didn’t receive, or a different “good news” which you didn’t accept, you put up with that well enough.
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 For I reckon that I am not at all behind the very best emissaries.
Ani, “Ergamoota hangafoota” sanaa gaditti of hin ilaalu.
6 But though I am unskilled in speech, yet I am not unskilled in knowledge. No, in every way we have been revealed to you in all things.
Ani dubbiitti leenjii hin qabu; garuu beekumsa qaba. Kanas karaa hundaan sirriitti isinii ibsineerra.
7 Or did I commit a sin in humbling myself that you might be exalted, because I preached to you God’s Good News free of charge?
Wangeela Waaqaa gatii malee isinitti lallabuudhaan akka isin ol ol jettaniif ani gad of qabuun koo cubbuu turee?
8 I robbed other assemblies, taking wages from them that I might serve you.
Ani isin tajaajiluuf jedhee gargaarsa isaan irraa fudhachuudhaan waldoota kiristaanaa kaan saameera.
9 When I was present with you and was in need, I wasn’t a burden on anyone, for the brothers, when they came from Macedonia, supplied the measure of my need. In everything I kept myself from being burdensome to you, and I will continue to do so.
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 As the truth of Messiah is in me, no one will stop me from this boasting in the regions of Achaia.
Hamma dhugaan Kiristoos na keessa jirutti boonuu koo kana kutaalee biyya Akaayaa keessatti eenyu iyyuu na dhowwuu hin dandaʼu.
11 Why? Because I don’t love you? God knows.
Maaliif? Ani waan isin hin jaallanneef moo? Isin jaallachuu koo Waaqni ni beeka!
12 But what I do, that I will continue to do, that I may cut off opportunity from those who desire an opportunity, that in which they boast, they may be recognised just like us.
Warra waan ittiin boonaniin nuun qixxaachuuf jedhanii carraa barbaaddatan carraa dhowwachuuf ani waanan amma hojjedhu ittuma fufee nan hojjedha.
13 For such men are false emissaries, deceitful workers, masquerading as Messiah’s emissaries.
Namoonni akkanaa ergamoota sobaa, hojjettoota nama gowwoomsan, warra ergamoota Kiristoos fakkaachuuf of geeddaranii dha.
14 And no wonder, for even Satan masquerades as an angel of light.
Seexanni mataan isaa ergamaa ifaa fakkaachuuf waan of geeddaruuf kun nama hin dinqu.
15 It is no great thing therefore if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.
Egaa tajaajiltoonni isaas yoo tajaajiltoota qajeelummaa fakkaachuuf of geeddaran kun waan nama dinqu miti. Dhumni isaaniis akkuma hojii isaanii taʼa.
16 I say again, let no one think me foolish. But if so, yet receive me as foolish, that I also 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 That which I speak, I don’t speak according to the Lord, but as in foolishness, in this confidence of boasting.
Ani of amanadhee boonuu kana keessatti akka gowwaa tokkoottin dubbadha malee akka Gooftaan dubbatutti hin dubbadhu.
18 Seeing that many boast after the flesh, I will also boast.
Waan namoonni hedduun akkuma yaada fooniitti boonaniif, anis nan boona.
19 For you bear with the foolish gladly, being wise.
Isin ogeeyyii waan taataniif gammachuudhaan gowwootaaf obsitu!
20 For you bear with a man if he brings you into bondage, if he devours you, if he takes you captive, if he exalts himself, or if he 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 To my shame, I speak as though we had been weak. Yet in whatever way anyone is bold (I speak in foolishness), I am bold also.
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 the offspring of Abraham? So am I.
Isaan Ibrootaa? Anis akkasuma. Isaan Israaʼelootaa? Anis akkasuma. Isaan sanyii Abrahaamii? Anis akkasuma.
23 Are they servants of Messiah? (I speak as one beside himself.) I am more so: in labours more abundantly, in prisons more abundantly, in stripes above measure, and in deaths often.
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 Five times I received forty stripes minus one from the Jews.
Harka Yihuudootaattis siʼa shan afurtama jechuu tokko hanquu garafameera.
25 Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I was stoned. Three times I suffered shipwreck. I have been a night and a day in the deep.
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 been in travels often, perils of rivers, perils of robbers, perils from my countrymen, perils from the Gentiles, perils in the city, perils in the wilderness, perils in the sea, perils amongst false brothers;
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 in labour and travail, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, and in cold and nakedness.
Ani baayʼee hojjedhee bututeera; halkan baayʼee hirriba dhabeera; beelaʼeera; dheebodheera; yeroo baayʼee soomeera; dhaamodheera; daareeras.
28 Besides those things that are outside, there is that which presses on me daily: anxiety for all the assemblies.
Kana hundumaa caalaa yaaddoo ani waldoota kiristaanaa hundumaaf qabutu guyyaa guyyaan natti ulfaata.
29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is caused to stumble, and I don’t burn with indignation?
Eenyutu dadhabaa dha? Ani hin dadhabuu ree? Eenyutu hin gufanne? Ani aaree hin gubadhuu ree?
30 If I must boast, I will boast of the things that concern my weakness.
Ani yoon of jajuu qabaadhe waan dadhabbii koo mulʼisuun of nan jaja.
31 The God and Father of the Lord Yeshua the Messiah, he who is blessed forever more, knows that I don’t lie. (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 guarded the Damascenes’ city, desiring to arrest me.
Damaasqoo keessatti namichi mooticha Areexaas jalatti bulchaa biyyaa ture na qabsiisuuf jedhee magaalaa namoota Damaasqoo eegsisaa ture.
33 I was let down in a basket through a window by the wall, and escaped his hands.
Ani garuu foddaa dallaa keessaan guuboodhaan gad buufamee harka isaa jalaa baʼe.
