2 Qoronttosa 10
1 Ta Phawulosay intenara dishin izi ashikeko geetistadis shin ta intefe haakishin qass inte bolla xalidade geetetida ta Phawulosay Kiristoosa ashiketethanine iza lo7etethan intena woossayss.
But as for me Paul, I entreat you by the gentleness and self-forgetfulness of Christ--I who when among you have not an imposing personal presence, but when absent am fearlessly outspoken in dealing with you.
2 Tani intena woossizay ta inteko hee biza wode inte tana xaletethan hasa7isontta aggana malako. Nuni asho qofan simeretiza mala nuna xeelliza issi issi asata sinthan tani xaletethan hasa7anas koyayss.
I beseech you not to compel me when present to make a bold display of the confidence with which I reckon I shall show my 'courage' against some who reckon that we are guided by worldly principles.
3 Nuni dizay hayssa alameza bolla gidikkoka nu oletizay ha alameza asa mala ola gidena.
For, though we are still living in the world, it is no worldly warfare that we are waging.
4 Nu ola miishayka ola miixa laalanas danda7iza Xoossa wolqay dizayssa attin hayssa alameza ola toora gidena.
The weapons with which we fight are not human weapons, but are mighty for God in overthrowing strong fortresses.
5 Xoossu erontta mala dhuphe gidi dendiza palamane otoroteth nu laaloss. Asa qofa wursi di7i ekidi Kiristoosas azazistana mala oothosu.
For we overthrow arrogant 'reckonings,' and every stronghold that towers high in defiance of the knowledge of God, and we carry off every thought as if into slavery--into subjection to Christ;
6 Inte azazetethi polettiza wode azazetontta ay miisheka qaxayanas nuni giigeti uttidos.
while we hold ourselves in readiness to punish every act of disobedience, as soon as ever you as a Church have fully shown your obedience.
7 Inte xeelizay kare baggara bettizazi xalalakko. Oonika tani Kiristoosaskko gi ammanettiko zaarethi qopo. Nuka iza malaka Kiristoosayta gididayssa izadey wozinan wotho.
Is it outward appearances you look to? If any man is confident as regards himself that he specially belongs to Christ, let him consider again and reflect that just as he belongs to Christ, so also do we.
8 Goday nuusu immida maata gishshi tani izan ceeqikoka yeelatike. Hessi maatay taas immetiday nuni intena minisanas attin laalanas gidena.
If, however, I were to boast more loudly of our Apostolic authority, which the Lord has given us that we may build you up, not pull you down, I should have no reason to feel ashamed.
9 Tani ha Kiitan intena babisos oothizayssa milatopo.
Let it not seem as if I wanted to frighten you by my letters.
10 Oone erizay isii issi asati “Phawulosa kiitati dexxone wolqamako; giddo attin izi nu achan diza wode izi laafako; Iza hasa7ayka leqettidaziko” gizaazi gidana.
For they say "His letters are authoritative and forcible, but his personal presence is unimpressive, and as for eloquence, he has none."
11 Hessatho giza asati nuni hahon dishe xaafi kiittidayssasine qasse intenara dishe nu oothizayssa gidon ayko dumatethi bayindayssa shaaki ereeto.
Let such people take this into their reckoning, that whatever we are in word by our letters when absent, the same are we also in act when present.
12 Gidikoka berkka bena naashiza issi issi asatara nuna nurika gathi xeelanas woykko isttara nuna giigisanas xalokko. Istti qasse berkka bena benara gathi xeelilza gishshi istti yuushi qopizayta gidetena.
For we have not the 'courage' to rank ourselves among, or compare ourselves with, certain persons distinguished by their self-commendation. Yet they are not wise, measuring themselves, as they do, by one another and comparing themselves with one another.
13 Nu qasse inteko gakkana gakkanso Xoossi nuusi immida ootho zawan siimerettos attin wogape aathi ceeqettizayta gidoko.
We, however, will not exceed due limits in our boasting, but will keep within the limits of the sphere which God has assigned to us as a limit, which reaches even to you.
14 Inte qasse nu oothizason diza gishshi Kiristoosa mishiracho qaala tamarisanas nu inteko bida wode nuni hee nu zawape adhdhibeykko.
For there is no undue stretch of authority on our part, as though it did not extend to you. We pressed on even to Corinth, and were the first to proclaim to you the Good News of the Christ.
15 Hessa gishshi Xoossi nuusu immida zawape adhdhidi hara asta oothhon gelidi wogape adhddeth ceeqettoko. Hessape bollara inte ammanoy diccana malane nu oothoyka Xoossi nuusu zawasida zawan inte gidon aakkanayssa naagon doossu.
We do not exceed our due limits, and take credit for other men's labours; but we entertain the hope that, as your faith grows, we shall gain promotion among you--still keeping within our own sphere--promotion to a larger field of labour,
16 Hessa gishshi nu hara uray oothiza zawa aadhdhidi kasetidi oothettida oothoon ceeqetontta dishe intefe henin diza deretas miishiracho qaala yootanas danda7os.
and shall tell the Good News in the districts beyond you, not boasting in another man's sphere about work already done by him.
17 Gido attin “Ceeqetiza uray Godan ceeqeto.”
But "whoever boasts, let his boast be in the Lord."
18 Assi galatistanas danda7iza Goday gaalatikoo attin berkka beena gaalatinn giidena
For it is not the man that commends himself who is really approved, but he whom the Lord commends.
