2 Qorontos 10
1 Ani Phaawulos kan yeroon isin bira jiru “Ija laafessa” yeroon isin irraa fagaadhu immoo “Ija jabeessa” taʼe garraamummaa fi gara laafina Kiristoosiin isinan kadhadha!
Nowe I Paul my selfe beseech you by the meekenes, and gentlenes of Christ, which when I am present among you am base, but am bolde toward you being absent:
2 Ani yeroon gara keessan dhufutti akka isin ija jabina ani warra waan nu akka yaada fooniitti jiraannu seʼan sana irratti nan qabaadha jedhee yaadu sana qabaadhu akka isin na hin goone isin kadhadha.
And this I require you, that I neede not to be bolde when I am present, with that same confidence, wherewith I thinke to bee bolde against some, which esteeme vs as though wee walked according to the flesh.
3 Nu yoo fooniin jiraanne iyyuu akka yaada fooniitti hin lollu.
Neuerthelesse, though wee walke in the flesh, yet we doe not warre after the flesh.
4 Miʼi waraanaa kan nu ittiin lollu kan daʼannoo jigsuudhaaf humna Waaqaa qabuudha malee miʼa waraana foonii miti.
(For the weapons of our warrefare are not carnall, but mightie through God, to cast downe holdes)
5 Mormii fi of tuulummaa beekumsa Waaqaa irratti kaʼu hunda ni diigna; yaada hundas boojinee Kiristoosiif akka ajajamu ni goona.
Casting downe the imaginations, and euery high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captiuitie euery thought to the obedience of Christ,
6 Yommuu isin guutummaatti ajajamuu keessan raawwattanitti, nu immoo ajajamuu diduu hunda haaloo baʼuuf ni qophoofna.
And hauing ready the vengeance against all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
7 Isin waanuma isinitti mulʼatu qofa ilaaltu. Eenyu iyyuu yoo kan Kiristoos taʼuu isaatti amane akkuma inni kan Kiristoos taʼe, nus kan Kiristoos taʼuu keenya haa hubatu.
Looke yee on things after the appearance? If any man trust in himselfe that hee is Christes, let him consider this againe of himself, that as he is Christes, euen so are we Christes.
8 Ani taayitaa keenya kan Gooftaan akka ittiin isin diignuuf utuu hin taʼin akka ittiin isin ijaarruuf nuu kenne sanaan caalaatti yoon boone iyyuu itti hin qaanaʼu.
For though I shoulde boast somewhat more of our authoritie, which the Lord hath giuen vs for edification, and not for your destruction, I should haue no shame.
9 Ani waanan ergaa kootiin isin sodaachisuu yaalu fakkaachuu hin barbaadu.
This I say, that I may not seeme as it were to feare you with letters.
10 Namoonni tokko tokko, “Ergaan isaa ulfaataa fi cimaa dha; inni yeroo qaamaan argamutti garuu dadhabaa dha; dubbiin isaas tuffatamaa dha” jedhu.
For the letters, sayeth hee, are sore and strong, but his bodily presence is weake, and his speache is of no value.
11 Warri akkasii akka wanni nu fagoo jiraannee barreessinuu fi wanni nu yeroo isaan wajjin jirrutti hojjennu tokkuma taʼe haa hubatan.
Let such one thinke this, that such as wee are in woorde by letters, when we are absent, such wil we be also in deede, when we are present.
12 Nu warra of saadan tokko tokkotti of ramaduuf yookaan isaaniin of qixxeessuuf ija hin jabaannu. Isaan yeroo walii isaaniitti of madaalanii fi walii isaaniitti of qixxeessan hin hubatan.
For wee dare not make our selues of the nomber, or to compare our selues to them, which praise themselues: but they vnderstand not that they measure themselues with themselues, and compare themselues with themselues.
13 Nu garuu hamma daangaa Waaqni nuu ramade kan isin bira gaʼuutti malee dandeettii keenyaa olitti of hin jajnu.
But we wil not reioyce of things, which are not within our measure, but according to the measure of the line, whereof God hath distributed vnto vs a measure to attaine euen vnto you.
14 Nu waan wangeela Kiristoos lallabaa gara keessan dhufneef, akka waan isin bira hin gaʼiniitti baayʼee hin hiixannuutii.
For we stretche not our selues beyonde our measure, as though wee had not attained vnto you: for euen to you also haue we come in preaching the Gospel of Christ,
15 Nu hojii warra kaaniin hojjetameen baayʼee of hin jajnu. Akkuma amantiin keessan guddachaa deemuun akka iddoon hojii keenyaa kan isin gidduutti argamu akka malee babalʼatu ni abdanna;
Not boasting of things which are without our measure: that is, of other mens labours: and we hope, when your faith shall increase, to bee magnified by you according to our line aboundantly,
16 kunis akka nu hojii duraan dursee biyya nama biraa keessatti hojjetameen utuu of hin jajin biyyoota isinii achi jiran keessatti wangeela lallabuu dandeenyuuf.
And to preache the Gospel in those regions which are beyonde you: not to reioyce in another mans line, that is, in the thinges that are prepared alreadie.
17 Garuu, “Namni boonu Gooftaadhaan haa boonu.”
But let him that reioyceth, reioyce in the Lord.
18 Nama Gooftaan galateessutu fudhatama argata malee namni of galateessu fudhatama hin argatuutii.
For hee that praiseth himselfe, is not alowed, but he whome the Lord praiseth.
