2 Qoronttoosa 7

1 Hiza, ta siiqoto, ha ufayssay nuus de7iya gisho, nu ashuwanne nu shemppuwa tunisiyabaa ubbaafe nuna geeshshoos. Xoossaas yayyidi nu geeshshatethaa polo oothoos.

Having, then, these promises, beloved, may we cleanse ourselves from every defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting sanctification in the fear of God;

2 Hintte uluwaa nuna bessite. Nuuni oonakka naaqqibookko; oonakka qohibookko; oonakka cimmibookko.

receive us; no one did we wrong; no one did we ruin; no one did we defraud;

3 Taani hessa hintte bolla pirddanaw giikke. Hessafe kase ta hinttew odidayssada, hintte nu wozanan de7eeta; nu paxa de7inkka hayqqinkka hinttefe shaakettoko.

I do not say [it] to condemn you, for I have said before that you are in our hearts to die together and to live together;

4 Ta odiyabaa hinttefe qottike; ta hinttenan ceeqettays; nu waaye ubban minettays; qassi gita ufayssi ufayttays.

great [is] my freedom of speech to you, great my glory on your behalf; I have been filled with the comfort, I hyper-abound with the joy on all our tribulation,

5 Nuuni Maqedooniya bida wode, ubba baggara waayettidappe attin shemppibookko. Karera morkketan, nu gaathan yashshan un77ettida.

for we also, having come to Macedonia, our flesh has had no relaxation, but on every side we are in tribulation: fightings outside, fears within;

6 Shin azzanidayssata minthethiya Xoossay, Tito yuussan nuna minthethis.

but He who is comforting the cast-down—God—He comforted us in the coming of Titus;

7 Nuna minthethiday Tito yuussaa xalaala gidonnashin, hintteka iya minthethidayssa. Hintte tana laamoteyssa, taw azzaneyssanne taw qoppeyssa ta si7ida wode tana daro ufayssis.

and not only in his coming, but also in the comfort with which he was comforted over you, declaring to us your longing desire, your lamentation, your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced the more,

8 Ta dabddaabbey hinttena azzanthikokka ays xaafadinaashsha gada qiirottike. Ta qiirottiday ta xaafida dabddaabbey hinttena guutha wodes azzanthida gishossa.

because even if I made you sorry in the letter, I do not regret—if even I regretted—for I perceive that the letter, even if for an hour, made you sorry.

9 Ha77i taani ufayttiday, ta hinttena azzanthida gisho gidonnashin, hintte azzanoy hinttena hintte nagaraappe zaarida gishossa. Xoossay ba sheniyada hinttena azzanthisippe attin nu hinttena aybinkka qohibookko.

I now rejoice, not that you were made sorry, but that you were made sorry to conversion, for you were made sorry toward God, that you might receive damage from us in nothing;

10 Xoossay koyaa azzanoy, atotethaakko gathiya nagaraappe simo ehees; iyan qiiroyabay baawa. Shin ha sa7aa azzanoy hayqo ehees.

for sorrow toward God works conversion to salvation without regret, and the sorrow of the world works death,

11 Hintte azzanoy hinttenan ayfisida ayfiyaa be7ite. He azzanoy hinttena ay mela denthethidaakko, ay mela zaaro immanaada giigisidaakko, he uraa bolla ay mela hanqisidaakko, ay mela taw yayyana mela oothidaakko, ay mela amoyidaakko, he uraa seeranaw ay mela giigidaakko be7ite. Ha ubbaban hintte geeshshi gideyssa markkayideta.

for behold, this same thing—your being made sorry toward God—how much diligence it works in you! But defense, but displeasure, but fear, but longing desire, but zeal, but revenge; in everything you approved yourselves to be pure in the matter.

12 Hessa gisho, taani ha dabddaabbiya hinttew xaafiday, naaqqida uraa woykko naaqettida uraa gisho gidenna. Shin hintte nuus ay mela qoppiyako Xoossaa sinthan hinttee, hinttena be7ana mela xaafas.

If, then, I also wrote to you—not for his cause who did wrong, nor for his cause who suffered wrong, but for our diligence in your behalf being revealed to you before God—

13 Nuuni ufayttiday hessa gishossa. Nu ufayssaafe aadhdhidi nuna daro ufayssiday, hintte Tito ufayssidayssanne iya wozanaa shemppisidayssa.

because of this we have been comforted in your comfort, and more abundantly the more we rejoiced in the joy of Titus, that his spirit has been refreshed from you all;

14 Taani hinttena nashshada iyaw odin hintte tana yeellayibeekketa. Shin nuuni ubba wode hinttew tumaa odida; hessadakka nuuni Tito sinthan hinttena nashshidayssi tuma gidis.

because if I have boasted anything to him in your behalf, I was not put to shame; but as we spoke to you all things in truth, so also our boasting before Titus became truth,

15 Hintte iyaw yashshan kokkoridi, iya mokkidayssa qassi iyaw ay mela kiitettidaakko I qoppiya wode hinttew de7iya siiqoy minnishe bis.

and his yearnings are more abundantly toward you, remembering the obedience of you all, how you received him with fear and trembling;

16 Taani ubbaban hinttenan ammanettiya gisho ufayttays.

I rejoice, therefore, that in everything I have courage in you.
