2 Qoronttoosa 2
1 Taani nam77antho hintteko biikke gada qofa qachchiday hinttena azzanthonna agganaassa.
That's why I decided that I would avoid another sad visit with you.
2 Taani hinttena azzanthikokka ta azzanthida hinttefe hari tana ufayssanaw de7ey oonee?
For if I make you sad, who will be there to make me happy? It won't be those I've made sad!
3 Taani hinttew he dabddaabbiya xaafiday, ta hinttena be7anaw biya wode tana ufayssanaw bessiya asan ta azzananaw koyonna gishossa. Ta ufayttiya wode hintte ubbayka ufayttanayssa ta ammanays.
That's why I wrote what I did, so that I wouldn't be sad over those who should make me happy. I was so sure that all of you would share in my happiness.
4 Taani daro waayeninne un77an qassi daro afuthan xaafiday, hinttena azzanthanaassa gidonnashin, taani hinttena ubbaa ay mela dosiyakko hinttena erisana melassa.
I was crying many tears when I wrote to you, in great anguish and with a heavy heart—not to make you sad, but so you would know how much love I have for you.
5 Ase azzanthida oonikka de7ikko ta iya balaa darssanaw koyikkefe attin tana gidonnashin, hinttefe darota azzanthis.
Not to put it too strongly, but the person caused more pain to all of you than to me.
6 Hinttefe dariya asay he uraa seerida seeray iyaw gidana.
This person suffered enough punishment from the majority of you,
7 Hessa gisho, he uray daro azzanidi, ufayssi qanxonna mela hintte iya maaranawunne minthethanaw bessees.
so now you should forgive him and be kind to him. Otherwise he may sink into despair.
8 Hintte iya siiqeyssa zaari iyaw qonccisana mela ta hinttena woossays.
So I urge you to publicly affirm your love towards him.
9 Ta he dabddaabbiya hinttew xaafiday, hintte paacettidi, ubbaban taw kiitettiyako eranaw koyida gishossa.
That's why I wrote: so I could discoverer your true character and whether you're doing everything you were told to do.
10 Hintte maariya uraa takka maarana. Taani maaranabay aybi de7ikkoka, Kiristtoosa sinthan hintte gisho gada maaras.
Anyone you forgive, I forgive too. What I have forgiven, whatever it may be, I have forgiven before Christ for your benefit.
11 Taani hessa oothiday Xalahiya cimo oosuwa nu eriya gisho, xalahen cimettonna attana melassa.
In this way Satan will not be able to take us in, because we know the tricks he thinks up.
12 Taani Kiristtoosa Wonggelaa sabbakanaw Xiro7aada bida wode, Goday yan taw ooso oge giigisidi wothis.
Now when I arrived in Troas to spread the good news of Christ, the Lord opened a door of opportunity for me.
13 Shin taani ta ishaa Tito yan demmaboonna gisho ta wozanay shemppibeenna. Hessa gisho, yan de7iya asaa sarothada iya koyanaw Maqedooniya bas.
But my mind wasn't at peace because I couldn't find my brother Titus. So I said goodbye and went over to Macedonia.
14 Shin Kiristtoosa baggara ubba wode nuna xoonon kaalethiyanne shitto mela sawiya Kiristtoosabaa nu eriya timirttiya ubba bessi gathana mela oothiya Xoossaa galati gakko.
But praise be to God, who always leads us in a triumphal procession in Christ, and reveals through us the sweet scent of his knowledge wherever we go!
15 Nuuni attiyaa asaa giddoninne dhayiya asaa giddon Kiristtoosa baggara Xoossaas imettida sawiya shitto mela.
We are like a fragrance of Christ to God, rising up from among those who are being saved as well as those who are dying.
16 Dhayiya asaas hayqqoko efiya hayqo peeno; qassi attiyaa asaas de7okko efiya de7o sawo; yaatin, hessa mela oosuwas gidanay oonee?
To those who are dying it is the smell of decay, while to those who are being saved it is the scent of life! But who is up to such an assignment?
17 Nuuni Xoossaa qaala wodhe demmanaw koyidi walakkidi zal77iya daro asaa mela gidokko. Shin Xoossay kiittida suure asata mela Kiristtoosan de7idi Xoossaa sinthan qaala odoos.
We are not like the majority who trade in the word of God for profit. Quite the opposite: we are sincere in sharing the word of God in Christ, knowing God is watching us.
