2 Qorontos 6
1 Egaa nu warri Waaqa wajjin hojjennu, akka isin ayyaana Waaqaa akka waan gatii hin qabneetti hin fudhanne isin kadhanna.
As God’s fellow workers, then, we urge you not to receive God’s grace in vain.
2 Inni, “Ani yeroo fudhatama qabutti si dhagaʼeera; guyyaa fayyinaattis si gargaareera” jedhaatii. Kunoo yeroon fudhatama qabu amma; guyyaan fayyinaas amma.
For He says: “In the time of favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you.” Behold, now is the time of favor; now is the day of salvation!
3 Nu akka tajaajilli keenya hin tuffatamneef, karaa nama kamii irra iyyuu gufuu hin keenyu.
We put no obstacle in anyone’s way, so that no one can discredit our ministry.
4 Qooda kanaa nu karaa hundaan akka tajaajiltoota Waaqaatti of dhiʼeessina; obsa guddaadhaan, dhiphinaan, gidiraa fi yaaddoon,
Rather, as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: in great endurance; in troubles, hardships, and calamities;
5 garafamuun, mana hidhaatti galfamuun, jeequmsaan, hojii dadhabsiisaa hojjechuun, hirriba dhabuun, beelaʼuun,
in beatings, imprisonments, and riots; in labor, sleepless nights, and hunger;
6 qulqullaaʼummaan, hubannaan, obsaa fi gara laafinaan, Hafuura Qulqulluu fi jaalala of tuulummaa hin qabneen,
in purity, knowledge, patience, and kindness; in the Holy Spirit and in sincere love;
7 dubbii dhugaatii fi humna Waaqaatiin, miʼa waraanaa kan qajeelinaa harka mirgaatii fi harka bitaatti qabachuun,
in truthful speech and in the power of God; with the weapons of righteousness in the right hand and in the left;
8 ulfinaa fi salphinaan, maqaa baduu fi maqaa toluun jiraanneerra; akkasumas utuu dhugaa qabeeyyii taanee jirruu, sobduu jedhamneerra;
through glory and dishonor, slander and praise; viewed as imposters, yet genuine;
9 beekamtoota turre; garuu akka warra hin beekaminiitti hedamne; nu duʼaa jirra; garuu kunoo ni jiraanna; ni tumamna; garuu hin ajjeefamnu;
as unknown, yet well-known; dying, and yet we live on; punished, yet not killed;
10 ni gaddina; garuu yeroo hunda ni gammanna; hiyyeeyyii dha; garuu namoota hedduu sooromsina; homaa hin qabnu; garuu waan hunda qabna.
sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; poor, yet making many rich; having nothing, and yet possessing everything.
11 Yaa warra Qorontos, nu afaan guunnee isinitti dubbanneerra; garaan keenyas isiniif banamaa dha.
We have spoken freely to you, Corinthians. Our hearts are open wide.
12 Isinitu garaa nu dhokfate malee nu garaa isin hin dhokfanne.
It is not our affection, but yours, that is restrained.
13 Ani akka waan isin ijoollee koo taataniittin isinitti dubbadha; isinis akkasuma garaa keessan balʼisaa nuu banaa.
As a fair exchange, I ask you as my children: Open wide your hearts also.
14 Warra hin amanneen walitti hin camadaminaa. Qajeelummaa fi jalʼinni maal wal irraa qabu? Yookaan ifni dukkana wajjin tokkummaa maalii qaba?
Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership can righteousness have with wickedness? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness?
15 Kiristoosii fi Belhor gidduu walii galtee maaliitu jira? Namni amanu tokko nama hin amanne wajjin maal wal irraa qaba?
What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever?
16 Manni qulqullummaa Waaqaa waaqota tolfamoo wajjin walii galtee maalii qaba? Nu mana qulqullummaa Waaqa jiraataa ti. Waaqnis akkana jedhee dubbateera; “Ani isaan wajjin nan jiraadha; isaan gidduus nan deddeebiʼa. Ani Waaqa isaanii nan taʼa; isaanis saba koo ni taʼu.”
What agreement can exist between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will dwell with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be My people.”
17 Kanaafuu, “Isaan keessaa baʼaa; isaan irraas gargar foʼamaa; jedha Gooftaan. Waan xuraaʼaa hin tuqinaa, anis isinan simadha.”
“Therefore come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you.”
18 Amma illee, “Ani Abbaa isiniif nan taʼa; isinis ilmaanii fi intallan koo ni taatu; jedha Gooftaan Waan Hunda Dandaʼu.”
And: “I will be a Father to you, and you will be My sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.”
