2 Qoronttoosa 5
1 Ha77i nu de7iya dunkkaane daaniya ha sa7a asatethay laalettikokka, asi keexiboonna, Xoossay keexida merinaa keethay nuus salon de7eyssa eroos. (aiōnios g166)
We know that when this earthly “tent” we live in is taken down, we have a house prepared by God, not made by human hands. It is eternal and is in heaven. (aiōnios g166)
2 Salo asatethaa ma77anaw amottishe ha77i ha sa7an de7ishe oolos.
We sigh with longing for this, wanting so badly to be clothed with this new heavenly home.
3 Nuuni hessa ma77iya wode kallottoko.
When we put on this clothing we won't be seen naked.
4 Dunkkaane daaniya ha sa7aa ashuwan nu de7ishe deexettidi oolos. Hayqqiya nu asatethay de7on laamettana mela salo asatethaa ma77anaw koyoosippe attin ashuwappe shaakettanaw koyidi gidenna.
While we are in this “tent” we sigh, being weighed down by this life. It's not so much that we want to take off the clothing of this life but that we look forward to what we shall be clothed with, so that what is mortal may be overwhelmed by life.
5 Nuna hayssas giigisiday Xoossaa. Qassi sinthafe yaanabaas oythi oothidi ba Ayyaana nuus immis.
It's God himself who prepared us for all this, and who provided the Spirit as a guarantee to us.
6 Hessa gisho, nuuni ha sa7a asatethan de7iya wode ubban Godaappe haakkidi de7eyssa erikkoka ubba wode ammanettidi de7oos.
So we remain confident, knowing that while we are at home here in our physical bodies, we are away from the Lord.
7 Nuuni de7ey ammanonnappe attin be7iyaban gidenna.
(For we live by trusting in God, not by seeing him.)
8 Nu ha sa7a asatethaafe shaakettidi, nu soo bidi Godaara issife daanaw amottiya gisho, ammanettidi de7oos.
As I say, we are confident, wanting to be away from the body so we can be at home with the Lord.
9 Hessa gisho, nu ha asatethan de7in woykko ha asatethaafe shaakettin, nu amoy iya ufayssanayssa.
That's why our goal, whether home here in our bodies or not, is to make sure we please him.
10 Nuuni issoy issoy ha sa7an de7ishe lo77o gidin woykko iita gidin, oothida oosuwas bessiya pirddaa ekkanaw Kiristtoosa pirdda araata sinthan shiiqana.
For all of us must appear before Christ's seat of judgment. Each of us will receive what we deserve for what we have done in this life, whether it is good or bad.
11 Hiza, nuuni Godaa bonchcheyssi ay guussekko eriya gisho, asay nu odeyssa ekkana mela zoroos. Xoossay, nuuni ooneekko nuna erees; qassi hintteka hintte kahan nu ooneekko ereeta yaagada qoppays.
Knowing how we are in awe of the Lord, we try to convince others. It's clear to God what we are, and I hope that it's clear to your minds too.
12 Wozanan gidonnashin, malan ceeqettiya asaa doona oythanaw hintte nunan ceeqettana mela hinttew gaaso gidanaw koyoosippe attin nu nuna zaaridi nashshanaw koyokko.
We are not trying to speak well of ourselves again, just trying to give you the opportunity to be proud of us, so you can answer those who are proud of outward show and not what they are inside.
13 Nu gooshshi gidikko Xoossaa bonchchossa; wozanaama gidikko hinttessa.
If we are “crazy people,” it's for God. If we make good sense, it's for you.
14 Issoy ubbaas hayqqidayssanne ubbay qassi iyara hayqqidayssa nu eriya gisho, Kiristtoosa siiqoy nuna haarees.
Christ's love urges us on, because we're absolutely sure that he died for everyone, and so everyone died.
15 De7on de7eyssati hizappe guye banttaw gidonnashin, enttaw hayqqidayssasinne hayqoppe denddidayssas daana mela Kiristtoosi asa ubbaa gisho hayqqis.
Christ died for everyone so that they shouldn't live any longer for themselves, but for him who died and rose again for them.
16 Hizappe guye, nuuni oonakka asa qofan pirddoko. Hayssafe kase nuuni Kiristtoosakka asa qofan pirddidabaa gidikkoka, hizappe hessada pirddoko.
From now on we don't look at anyone from a human point of view. Even though we once viewed Christ this way, we don't do so any longer.
17 Hessa gisho, oonikka Kiristtoosan de7ikko ooratha medhetethi; gal77a medhetethay aadhdhis; ubbayka oorathi gidis.
That's why anyone who is in Christ is a new being—what was old is gone, the new has come!
18 Hessa ubbaa Xoossay oothis. I Kiristtoosa baggara nuna baara sigethis. Qassi harata baara sigethana mela nuus sigetho ooso immis.
God did all this by changing us from enemies into friends through Christ. God gave us this same work of changing his enemies into his friends.
19 Xoossay Kiristtoosa baggara asa ubbaa baara sigethees. Entta nagaraa taybibeenna; qassi asaa baara sigethiya qaala nuus immis.
For God was in Christ bringing the world back from hostility to friendship with him, not counting anyone's sins against them, and giving us this message to change his enemies into his friends.
20 Xoossay asaa nu baggara xeegiya gisho, nu Kiristtoosan kiitettidi asaa Xoossaara sigetite gidi Kiristtoosa gisho, woossos.
So we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God is pleading through us: “Please, won't you come back and be God's friend?”
21 Nuuni Xoossaa xillotethaa Kiristtoosa baggara ekkana mela, nagara eronna Kiristtoosa nu gisho, nagaranchcho asada oothis.
God made Jesus, who never personally sinned, experience the consequences of sin so that we could have a character that is good and right just as God is good and right.
