2 Qorontos 13
1 Ani kanaan walitti siʼa sadaffaa gara keessan dhufuu koo ti. “Dubbiin hundinuu dhuga baatota lamaan yookaan sadiin mirkaneeffamuu qaba.”
This is my third visit to you. “Any charge must be verified by two or three witnesses.”
2 Ani duraanuu yommuun siʼa lammaffaa isin bira turetti isin akeekkachiiseera. Amma illee fagoo taaʼee isuma irra nan deebiʼa; ani yeroon deebiʼee dhufutti warra kanaan dura cubbuu hojjetaniifis taʼu warra kaan hundaaf garaa hin laafu;
I already warned those of you who were sinning when I visited the second time. Even though I'm not there, I'm warning them again—and all the rest of you—that when I visit I won't hesitate to act against them,
3 kunis isin akka Kiristoos karaa kootiin dubbatu ragaa waan barbaaddaniif. Inni isin gidduutti cimaadha malee waaʼee keessan irratti dadhabaa miti.
since you're demanding proof that Christ is speaking through me. He is not weak in the way he relates to you; rather he works powerfully among you.
4 Inni dadhabbiidhaan fannifamu iyyuu, humna Waaqaatiin garuu ni jiraata. Nus akkasuma isatti dadhabdoota; taʼus isin tajaajiluuf humna Waaqaatiin isa wajjin ni jiraanna.
Even though he was crucified in weakness, now he lives through the power of God. We too are weak in him, but you will see that we live with him through the power of God.
5 Isin amantiidhaan jiraachuu fi jiraachuu baachuu keessan beekuuf of qoraa; of ilaalaas. Dhugumaan isin yoo qormaaticha kuftan malee akka Yesuus Kiristoos isin keessa jiru hin beektanii?
Examine yourselves to see if you are trusting God. Put yourselves to the test. Don't you yourselves realize that Jesus Christ is in you? Unless you have failed the test…
6 Anis akka nu qormaaticha hin kufin isin akka hubattan nan amana.
However, I hope that you realize that we have not failed the test.
7 Nu ammas akka isin waan hamaa tokko illee hin hojjenneef Waaqa kadhanna. Kunis nu yoo waan qormaata kufne fakkaanne illee akka isin waan qajeelaa hojjettaniif malee akka namoonni qormaaticha keessatti cimnee dhaabachuu keenya arganiif miti.
We pray to God that you won't do anything bad—not so we can show we passed the test, but so you can do what is good, even if we appear to be failures.
8 Nu dhugaaf hojjenna malee, dhugaa mormuudhaan homaa hojjechuu hin dandeenyuutii.
We can't do anything against the truth, only for the truth.
9 Yommuu nu dadhabnee isin immoo jabaattanitti ni gammanna; kadhannaan keenyas akka isin warra hirʼina hin qabne taataniif.
We're happy when we are weak, and you are strong—we pray that you may continue to improve.
10 Wanni ani yeroo fagoo jirutti barreessuuf kanaa dha; kunis akka ani yeroon gara keessan dhufutti taayitaa Gooftaan akka ani ittiin isin diiguuf utuu hin taʼin, akka ani ittiin isin ijaaruuf naa kennetti fayyadamee isinitti hin jabaanneef.
That is why I write about this while I'm not with you, so that when I am with you I won't have to treat you harshly by imposing my authority. The Lord gave me authority for building up, not for tearing down.
11 Egaa yaa obboloota nagaatti. Haaromfamaa; wal jajjabeessaa; yaada tokko qabaadhaa; nagaadhaan jiraadhaa. Waaqni jaalalaatii fi nagaa isin wajjin ni taʼa.
Finally, brothers and sisters, I say goodbye. Continue to improve spiritually. Encourage one another. Be in agreement. Live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.
12 Dhungoo qulqulluudhaan nagaa wal gaafadhaa.
Greet each other with Christian affection.
13 Sabni Waaqaa hundinuu nagaa isinii dhaamu.
All the believers here send their greetings.
14 Ayyaanni Gooftaa Yesuus Kiristoos, jaalalli Waaqaa, tokkummaan Hafuura Qulqulluus hunda keessan wajjin haa taʼu.
May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
