2 Qorontos 5
1 Yoo dunkaanni lafa irraa kan nu keessa jiraannu kun diigame mana Waaqni ijaare, mana bara baraa kan harka namaatiin hin ijaaramin samii irraa akka qabnu beekna. (aiōnios g166)
We know that when this earthly “tent” we live in is taken down, we have a house prepared by God, not made by human hands. It is eternal and is in heaven. (aiōnios g166)
2 Hammasitti mana keenya kan samii irraa sana uffachuu hawwuudhaan ni aadna;
We sigh with longing for this, wanting so badly to be clothed with this new heavenly home.
3 nu yommuu isa ufannutti qullaa hin argamnuutii.
When we put on this clothing we won't be seen naked.
4 Nu utuma dunkaana kana keessa jirruu ni aadna; baʼaanis nutti ulfaateera; nu garuu wanni duʼa hin oolle jireenyaan akka liqimfamuuf mana keenya kan samii irraa uffachuu malee akka uffanni nurraa baafamu hin barbaannuutii.
While we are in this “tent” we sigh, being weighed down by this life. It's not so much that we want to take off the clothing of this life but that we look forward to what we shall be clothed with, so that what is mortal may be overwhelmed by life.
5 Kan kaayyoo kanaaf nu qopheesses Waaqa isa Hafuura Qulqulluu wabii waan dhufuuf jiruu godhee akka qabdiitti nuu kenne sanaa dha.
It's God himself who prepared us for all this, and who provided the Spirit as a guarantee to us.
6 Kanaaf nu yeroo hunda ija jabina qabna; hamma dhagna fooniitiin jirrutti Gooftaa irraa fagoo akka jirru beekna.
So we remain confident, knowing that while we are at home here in our physical bodies, we are away from the Lord.
7 Nu amantiidhaan jiraanna malee arguun miti.
(For we live by trusting in God, not by seeing him.)
8 Nu ija jabina qabna; dhagna foonii kana irraa addaan baanee Gooftaa wajjin jiraachuu filanna.
As I say, we are confident, wanting to be away from the body so we can be at home with the Lord.
9 Kanaaf nu dhagna fooniitiin jiraannus, dhagna foonii irraa fagaannus kaayyoon keenya Isa gammachiisuu dha.
That's why our goal, whether home here in our bodies or not, is to make sure we please him.
10 Tokkoon tokkoon namaa yeroo dhagna fooniitiin jiraachaa turetti akka hojii tolaa yookaan hamaa hojjeteef gatii isaa argatuuf hundi keenya barcuma murtii Kiristoos duratti dhiʼaachuu qabnaatii.
For all of us must appear before Christ's seat of judgment. Each of us will receive what we deserve for what we have done in this life, whether it is good or bad.
11 Nu Gooftaa sodaachuun maal akka taʼe waan beeknuuf namoota amansiisuuf yaalii goona. Eenyummaan keenya Waaqa biratti beekamaa dha; yaada garaa keessaniitiifis beekamaa akka taʼe nan abdadha.
Knowing how we are in awe of the Lord, we try to convince others. It's clear to God what we are, and I hope that it's clear to your minds too.
12 Nu akka isin nuun boontaniif carraa isinii kennuuf malee amma illee isin biratti of galateeffachuuf miti; kunis isin warra waan garaa keessa jiru caalaa waan ijatti mulʼatuun boonaniif deebii kennuu akka dandeessaniif.
We are not trying to speak well of ourselves again, just trying to give you the opportunity to be proud of us, so you can answer those who are proud of outward show and not what they are inside.
13 Nu yoo akka namoonni tokko tokko jedhan sana “qalbii dabarsine,” Waaqaaf jennee ti; yoo qalbii qabeeyyii taane immoo isiniif jennee ti.
If we are “crazy people,” it's for God. If we make good sense, it's for you.
14 Jaalalli Kiristoos nu dirqisiisaatii; sababiin isaas waan namni tokko nama hundaaf duʼeef namni hundi kan duʼe taʼuu isaa amansiifamneerra.
Christ's love urges us on, because we're absolutely sure that he died for everyone, and so everyone died.
15 Innis akka warri lubbuun jiran siʼachi isa isaaniif jedhee duʼee duʼaa kaafame sanaaf malee akka ofii isaaniitiif hin jiraanneef nama hundumaaf duʼe.
Christ died for everyone so that they shouldn't live any longer for themselves, but for him who died and rose again for them.
16 Kanaafuu nu ammaa jalqabnee nama tokko iyyuu akka ilaalcha fooniitti hin ilaallu. Yoo kanaan dura akka ilaalcha addunyaatti Kiristoosin ilaalaa turre iyyuu, siʼachi akkas hin goonu.
From now on we don't look at anyone from a human point of view. Even though we once viewed Christ this way, we don't do so any longer.
17 Kanaafuu eenyu iyyuu yoo Kiristoositti jiraate inni uumama haaraa dha; wanni moofaan darbeera; kunoo wanni haaraan dhufeera.
That's why anyone who is in Christ is a new being—what was old is gone, the new has come!
18 Kun hundinuus Waaqa Kiristoosiin ofitti nu araarsee fi tajaajila araaraa nuu kenne sana irraa dhufe;
God did all this by changing us from enemies into friends through Christ. God gave us this same work of changing his enemies into his friends.
19 kunis, Waaqni cubbuu namootaa isaanitti lakkaaʼuu dhiisuudhaan Kiristoosiin addunyaa ofitti araarsaa ture jechuu dha. Innis ergaa araaraa sana imaanaa nutti kenneera.
For God was in Christ bringing the world back from hostility to friendship with him, not counting anyone's sins against them, and giving us this message to change his enemies into his friends.
20 Kanaafuu nu bakka buʼoota Kiristoos; Waaqnis karaa keenyaan isin sossobata; nus akka isin Waaqatti araaramtaniif qooda Kiristoos taanee isin kadhanna.
So we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God is pleading through us: “Please, won't you come back and be God's friend?”
21 Akka nu isumaan qajeelummaa Waaqaa taanuuf Waaqni nuuf jedhee Kiristoos isa cubbuu hin qabne sana cubbuu godhe.
God made Jesus, who never personally sinned, experience the consequences of sin so that we could have a character that is good and right just as God is good and right.
