2 Qorontos 1
1 Phaawulos isa fedhii Waaqaatiin ergamaa Kiristoos Yesuus taʼee fi obboleessa keenya Xiimotewos irraa, Gara waldaa kiristaanaa Waaqaa ishee Qorontos jirtuutii fi qulqulloota Akaayaa guutuu keessa jiraatan hundumaatti:
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, To the church of God in Corinth, together with all the saints throughout Achaia:
2 Abbaa keenya Waaqaa fi Yesuus Kiristoos Gooftaa irraa ayyaannii fi nagaan isiniif haa taʼu.
Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Waaqnii fi Abbaan Gooftaa keenya Yesuus Kiristoos, Abbaan araaraatii fi Waaqni jajjabina hundaa haa eebbifamu;
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort,
4 inni akka nu jajjabina Waaqa biraa arganne sanaan warra dhiphina adda addaa keessa jiran jajjabeessuu dandeenyuuf dhiphina keenya hunda keessatti nu jajjabeessa.
who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.
5 Akkuma nu dhiphina Kiristoos keessatti baayʼee hirmaannu, akkasuma immoo karaa Kiristoosiin jajjabinni nuu baayʼata.
For just as the sufferings of Christ overflow to us, so also through Christ our comfort overflows.
6 Nu yoo dhiphanne jajjabinaa fi fayyina keessaniif taʼa; nu yoo jajjabaanne jajjabina keessaniif taʼa; jajjabinni kunis kan isin yeroo dhiphina nu dhiphannu kana keessa dabartanitti obsaan dhaabachuudhaan argattanii dha.
If we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which accomplishes in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we experience.
7 Abdiin nu waaʼee keessaniif qabnu cimaa dha; isin akkuma dhiphina keenya keessatti hirmaattan amma immoo jajjabina keenya keessatti akka hirmaattan beeknaatii.
And our hope for you is sure, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you will share in our comfort.
8 Yaa obboloota, isin waaʼee dhiphina biyya Asiyaatti nurra gaʼee akka wallaaltan hin barbaannu. Hamma lubbuudhaan jiraachuuf illee abdii kutannutti dhiphinni baachuudhaaf humna keenyaa ol taʼe nurra gaʼee tureetii.
We do not want you to be unaware, brothers, of the hardships we encountered in the province of Asia. We were under a burden far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired even of life.
9 Dhugumaanuu murtiin duʼaa nutti dhagaʼamee turre. Kun garuu akka nu Waaqa warra duʼan kaasutti malee ofii keenyatti hin amananneef taʼe.
Indeed, we felt we were under the sentence of death, in order that we would not trust in ourselves, but in God, who raises the dead.
10 Inni balaa duʼa akkasii jalaa nu baaseera; nu baasas. Inni ittuma fufee akka nu baasu abdii keenya isa irra kaaʼanneerra.
He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and He will deliver us. In Him we have placed our hope that He will yet again deliver us,
11 Akkuma isin kadhannaa keessaniin nu gargaartan, ayyaana kadhannaa namoota baayʼeetiif deebii taʼee nuu kenname sanaaf namoonni baayʼeen nuuf galateeffatu.
as you help us by your prayers. Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the favor shown us in answer to their prayers.
12 Egaa wanti nu ittiin of jajnu kanaa dha: Akka nu qulqullummaa fi amanamummaa Waaqa biraa argameen fooniin keessumattuu hariiroo isin wajjin qabnuun jiraachaa turre yaadni garaa keenyaa dhugaa nuuf baʼa. Kanas akka ayyaana Waaqaatti goone malee akka ogummaa addunyaatti miti.
And this is our boast: Our conscience testifies that we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially in relation to you, in the holiness and sincerity that are from God—not in worldly wisdom, but in the grace of God.
13 Nu waan isin dubbisuu yookaan hubachuu hin dandeenye tokko illee isinii hin barreessinuutii. Ani akka isin hamma dhumaatti hubattan nan abdadha;
For we do not write you anything that is beyond your ability to read and understand. And I hope that you will understand us completely,
14 innis akkuma isin gara tokko nu hubattan kana, akka guyyaa Gooftaa Yesuusitti akkuma nu isiniin of jajnu sana isinis nuun of jajuu dandeessan guutummaatti hubattanii dha.
as you have already understood us in part, so that you may boast of us just as we will boast of you in the day of our Lord Jesus.
15 Anis sababiin waan kana amaneef akka isin ayyaana lammaffaa qabaattaniif jedhee jalqabatti gara keessan dhufuu barbaade.
Confident of this, I planned to visit you first, so that you might receive a double blessing.
16 Ani yeroon Maqedooniyaa dhaqutti isin ilaaluu fi yeroon Maqedooniyaadhaa deebiʼuttis gara keessan dhufee, akka isin yeroo ani Yihuudaa dhaqutti na ergitan barbaade.
I wanted to visit you on my way to Macedonia, and to return to you from Macedonia, and then to have you help me on my way to Judea.
17 Ani yeroon waan kana karoorfadhetti akka salphaattin hojjedhee? Yookaan akka yaada fooniitti yeruma tokkotti, “Eeyyee, eeyyee” fi “Waawuu, waawuu” jechuufan karoora baafadhaa ree?
When I planned this, did I do it carelessly? Or do I make my plans by human standards, so as to say “Yes, yes” when I really mean “No, no”?
18 Akkuma Waaqni amanamaa taʼe dubbiin nu isinitti dubbannus “Eeyyee” fi “Waawuu” miti.
But as surely as God is faithful, our message to you is not “Yes” and “No.”
19 Yesuus Kiristoos Ilmi Waaqaa inni nu jechuunis ani, Silwaanosii fi Xiimotewos isin gidduutti lallabne sun, “Eeyyee” fi “Waawuu” hin turreetii; isa keessa “Eeyyeetu” jira.
For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was proclaimed among you by me and Silvanus and Timothy, was not “Yes” and “No,” but in Him it has always been “Yes.”
20 Waadaawwan Waaqaa hundinuu Kiristoosiin “Eeyyeedhaatii”. Kanaafuu nu karaa isaatiin ulfina Waaqaatiif “Ameen” jenna.
For all the promises of God are “Yes” in Christ. And so through Him, our “Amen” is spoken to the glory of God.
21 Egaa kan akka nu isin wajjin Kiristoositti jabaannee dhaabannu godhuu fi kan nu dibe Waaqa;
Now it is God who establishes both us and you in Christ. He anointed us,
22 innis chaappaa nutti chaappessee, qabdii Hafuura Qulqulluu garaa keenya keessa kaaʼe.
placed His seal on us, and put His Spirit in our hearts as a pledge of what is to come.
23 Ani garuu isin qusachuudhaaf jecha Qorontositti hin deebine; anis akka inni dhugaa natti baʼuuf Waaqa ofitti nan waama.
I call God as my witness that it was in order to spare you that I did not return to Corinth.
24 Nu gammachuu keessaniif isin wajjin hojjenna malee amantii keessan irratti gooftummaa hin qabnu; isin amantiin jabaattanii dhaabattaniitii.
Not that we lord it over your faith, but we are fellow workers with you for your joy, because it is by faith that you stand firm.
