2 Qorontos 12
1 Yoo buʼaa qabaachuu baate iyyuu ani nan boona. Ani gara waan Gooftaan na argisiiseetii fi mulʼata isa biraa dhufeetti nan qajeela.
It behooves me to glory, indeed it is not profitable, I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
2 Namichi Kiristoositti jiru tokko waggaa kudha afur dura gara samii sadaffaatti ol fudhatamuu isaa nan beeka. Innis dhagna fooniitiin taʼuu fi taʼuu baachuu isaa Waaqatu beeka malee ani hin beeku.
I knew a man in Christ, fourteen years ago, whether in the body, I know not; whether out of the body, I know not, such a one having been caught up even to the third heaven.
3 Ani nama akkanaa nan beeka; dhagna fooniitiin taʼuu fi taʼuu baachuu isaa ani hin beeku; Waaqatu beeka;
And I knew such a man, whether in the body, or out of the body, I know not; God knows,
4 innis gara jannataatti ol fudhatamee waan hin dubbatamne kan akka namni himuuf hin eeyyamamne dhagaʼe.
that he was caught up to Paradise, and heard unutterable words, which it is impossible for a man to speak.
5 Ani waaʼee nama akkasiitiif nan boona; garuu waaʼee dadhabbii kootii malee waaʼee ofii kootii hin boonu.
Concerning such a one I will glory: but concerning myself I will not glory, except in my infirmities.
6 Ani waanan dhugaa dubbachaa jiruuf yoon boonuu filadhe iyyuu hin gowwoomu. Garuu namni tokko iyyuu waan narratti arguu fi waan narraa dhagaʼu caalaa akka waaʼee koo hin yaadneef ani waan akkasii irraa ofin qusadha;
For if I shall wish to glory, I will not be a fool; for I speak the truth: but I fear, lest some one may consider with reference to me above what he sees me, or hears from me.
7 akka ani mulʼata akka malee guddaa kanaan of hin tuulleef qoraattiin foon koo waraanu tokko, ergamaan Seexanaa akka na dhiphisuuf naa kenname.
And that I may not be exalted by the abundance of revelations, a thorn was given unto me in the flesh, the messenger of Satan that he may buffet me, in order that I may not be exalted.
8 Wanni kun akka narraa fagaatuuf siʼa sadii Gooftaa nan kadhadhe.
Three times I called on the Lord concerning this, that it may depart from me.
9 Inni garuu, “Ayyaanni koo si gaʼa; humni koo dadhabbii keessatti guutuu taʼaatii” naan jedhe. Kanaafuu humni Kiristoos akka narra boqotuuf waaʼee dadhabbii kootii caalchisee gammaduudhaan akka malee nan boona.
And he said to me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore most delightfully I will glory the more in my infirmities, in order that the power of Christ may abide on me.
10 Ani waaʼee Kiristoosiif jedhee dadhabbii keessatti, arrabsoo keessatti, gidiraa keessatti, ariʼatama keessatti, rakkina keessattis gammaduun koo kanumaaf. Yoos ani yeroon dadhabutti nan jabaadhaatii.
Therefore I delight in infirmities, in insults, in difficulties, in persecutions, and in tight places, for Christ's sake: for when I am without strength, then I am dynamite.
11 Ani of gowwoomseera; waan kanatti garuu isinitu na dhiibe. Ani yoon waanuma tokkotti illee hedamuu baadhe, waan “Ergamoota hangafoota” sanaa gad hin taaneef silaa isin naa dubbachuu qabdu turtan.
I have become a fool: you did compel me. For I ought to be commended by you: for I am not inferior to the very chief of the apostles, if indeed I am nothing.
12 Mallattoowwan ergamaa dhugaa tokko jechuunis mallattoon, hojiin dinqiitii fi raajiin isin gidduutti obsa guddaadhaan hojjetamaniiru.
For indeed the signs of the apostleship are wrought in me in all patience, in miracles and in wonders and in dynamites.
13 Ani utuu baʼaa isinitti hin taʼin hafuu kootiin alatti wanti isin ittiin waldoota kiristaanaa kaanii gad taatan maali? Yakka kana naa dhiisaa!
For what is that in which you are inferior to other churches, except that I did not burden you? forgive me this wrong.
14 Ani siʼa sadaffaaf gara keessan dhufuuf qophaaʼeera; ani isinuma malee qabeenya keessan waan hin barbaanneef baʼaa isinitti hin taʼu. Warratu ijoollee isaaniitiif qabeenya kuusuu qaba malee ijoolleen warra isaaniitiif kuusuu hin qaban.
Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not spare: for I do not seek yours, but you. For the children ought not to lay up treasures for the parents, but the parents for the children,
15 Ani waanan qabu hunda gammachuun isiniif nan kenna; ofii koo illee isiniif nan kenna. Sababii ani baayʼisee isin jaalladhuuf isin immoo xinneessitanii na jaallattuu ree?
But I will most delightfully spend and be spent for your souls. If the more abundantly I love you am I loved the less?
16 Haa taʼuu malee ani baʼaa isinitti hin taane. Ani garuu waanan abshaala taʼeef malaan isin qabadhe.
But let it he so, I did not burden you; but, being crafty, I caught you with guile.
17 Ani namoota isinitti erge keessaa karaa isa tokkootiin illee waa isin irraa nyaadheeraa?
Which one of those whom I sent unto you, did I fleece you through him?
18 Ani akka Tiitoon gara keessan dhufuuf isa kadhadhe; obboleessa tokkos isa wajjin ergeera. Tiitoon waa isin irraa nyaateeraa? Nu hafuura tokkoon, karuma tokko irra deddeebiʼaa hin turree?
I called Titus, and sent the brother along with him: whether did Titus defraud you? did we not walk by the same Spirit? did we not in the same tracks?
19 Isin waan nu hamma ammaatti fuula keessan duratti ofii keenyaaf falmannu seetanii? Nu akka warra Kiristoositti jiraataniitti fuula Waaqaa duratti dubbanna; yaa michoota, waan kana hunda hojjechuun keenya isinuma jajjabeessuuf.
For a long time you were thinking that I am apologizing to you. We speak before God in Christ; but all things, beloved, are for your edification.
20 Yeroo ani gara keessan dhufutti isin akka ani fedhu taatanii hin argamtan taʼa. Yookaan ani akka isin feetan taʼee hin argamu taʼa jedheen sodaadhaatii. Wal loluun, hinaaffaan, aariin bobaʼuun, wal qooduun, maqaa nama balleessuun, hamiin, of tuulummaanii fi jeequmsi isin gidduu jiraata jedheen sodaadha.
For I fear lest, having come, I may not find you as I wish, and may not be found by you as you wish; lest perhaps strife, jealousy, animosities, selfseekings, calumniations, eavesdroppings, inflations, outfallings, are among you;
21 Yeroo ani deebiʼee gara keessan dhufutti Waaqni koo fuula keessan duratti gad na deebisa; anis waaʼee namoota baayʼee kanneen kanaan dura cubbuu hojjetanii fi xuraaʼummaa irraa, halalummaa fi jireenya gad dhiisii hamaa irraa hin deebiʼiniif nan gadda jedheen sodaadha.
lest, I again having come, my God will humble me before you, and I will mourn over many of those having previously committed sins, and not having repented over the uncleanness and the fornication and debauchery which they have done.
