2 Qorontos 2

1 Ani akkan lammata gaddaan gara keessan hin dhufne murteeffadheera.

BUT I determined this with myself, that I would not come again to you in heaviness.

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

For if I make you sorry, who is he then that maketh me glad, but the same which is made sorry 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 unto you, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.

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 affliction and anguish of heart I wrote unto you with many tears; not that ye should be grieved, but that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly unto 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 have caused grief, he hath not grieved me, but in part: that I may not overcharge you all.

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

Sufficient to such a man is this punishment, which was inflicted of many.

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

So that contrariwise ye ought rather to forgive him, and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow.

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

Wherefore I beseech you that ye would confirm your love toward him.

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

For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye be 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;

To whom ye forgive any thing, I forgive also: for if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave it, for your sakes forgave I it in the person of Christ;

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

Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.

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

Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ’s gospel, and a door was opened unto me of 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, because I found not Titus my brother: but taking my leave of them, I went from thence into Macedonia.

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

Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.

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

For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish:

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

To the one we are the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who is sufficient 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 many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.
