2 Qorontos 2

1 Ani akkan lammata gaddaan gara keessan hin dhufne murteeffadheera.

But I determined this in myself, not to come again to you in sadness.

2 Yoo ani isin gaddisiise, isinuma warra ani gaddisiisu sana malee eenyutu na gammachiisa ree?

For if I make you sad, who then is he who makes me glad except he who is made sad by me?

3 Akkasitti barreessuun koo akka yommuu ani dhufutti namoonni na gammachiisuu qaban na hin gaddisiisneefi. Akka gammachuun koo gammachuu hunda keessanii taʼe ani hunda keessan nan amana ture.

And I wrote this same thing to you, so that when I came, I would not have sadness from whom I ought to rejoice, having been confident toward you all, because my joy is of all of you.

4 Ani dhiphina guddaa, yaaddoo garaatii fi imimmaan baayʼeedhaan isinii barreesseetii; kunis jaalalli ani isiniif qabu hammam guddaa akka taʼe akka beektaniif malee isin gaddisiisuuf miti.

For out of much stress and dismay of heart, through many tears, I wrote to you, not that ye would be grieved, but that ye might know the love that I have so much more for you.

5 Eenyu iyyuu yoo nama gaddisiise utuu dubbii hoʼisuuf hin taʼin inni karaa tokko hunduma keessan gaddisiisuu isaati malee na gaddisiisuu isaa miti.

But if any man has caused sadness, he has not caused me sadness, but in part (that I may not bear down) you all.

6 Nama akkanaa irratti adabbiin harki caalaan keessan adabdan ni gaʼa.

Sufficient to such a man is this punishment by the many,

7 Qooda kanaa akka inni gadda guddaan hin liqimfamneef dhiifama isaaf gochuu fi isa jajjabeessuutu isin irra jira.

so that instead, for you rather to forgive and encourage, lest perhaps such a man would be swallowed up with too much sorrow.

8 Kanaafuu ani akka isin jaalala isaaf qabdan cimsitan isinan kadhadha.

Therefore I beseech you to affirm love for him.

9 Anis akka isin waan hunda irratti ajajamtoota taatan mirkaneeffachuufin waan kana isinii barreesse.

For I also wrote for this, so that I might know the proof of you, whether ye are obedient in all things.

10 Nama isin dhiifama gootaniif, anis dhiifama nan godha. Yoo wanti ani dhiifama godhe tokko iyyuu jiraates ani isiniif jedhee fuula Kiristoos duratti dhiifama godheera;

But to whom ye forgive anything, I too. For I also, whom I have forgiven (if anything), I have forgiven because of you in the presence of Christ,

11 kunis akka Seexanni nu hin gowwoomsineefi. Nu mala isaa hin wallaalluutii.

so that we may not be exploited by Satan. For we are not ignorant of his methods.

12 Yeroo ani wangeela Kiristoos lallabuuf Xirooʼaas dhaqee Gooftaan balbala naa banetti,

Now having come to Troas for the good news of the Christ, and a door having been opened to me in the Lord,

13 waan ani obboleessa koo Tiitoo hin argatiniif, hafuurri koo boqonnaa hin arganne. Kanaafuu ani nagaatti isaaniin jedhee Maqedooniyaatti darbe.

I had no rest in my spirit, my not finding Titus my brother. But having departed from them, I went forth into Macedonia.

14 Waaqa yeroo hunda akka nu Kiristoosiin moʼannoo qabaannu nu taasisee urgaa beekumsa isaa karaa keenyaan iddoo hundatti facaasuuf galanni haa taʼu.

And thanks is to God who always causes us to triumph in the Christ, and who makes manifest the aroma of the knowledge of him in every place, through us.

15 Nu warra fayyifamaa jiranii fi warra baduutti jiran gidduutti Waaqaaf urgaa Kiristoos.

Because we are a fragrance of Christ to God, in those being saved and in those perishing:

16 Nu isa tokkoof urgaa duʼaa ti; isa kaaniif immoo urgaa jireenyaa ti. Egaa eenyutu waan kanaaf gaʼaa taʼa?

to the one an odor of death for death, and to the other an aroma of life for life. And who is adequate for these things?

17 Nu garuu akka namoota Waaqa biraa ergamaniitti Kiristoosiin fuula Waaqaa duratti garaa qulqulluudhaan dubbanna malee akka namoota hedduu kanneen buʼaa argachuuf jedhanii dubbii Waaqaa gurguratan sanaa miti.

For we are not as other men, huckstering the word of God, but as from purity. But we speak in Christ as from God in the sight of God.
