2 Qorontos 6

1 Egaa nu warri Waaqa wajjin hojjennu, akka isin ayyaana Waaqaa akka waan gatii hin qabneetti hin fudhanne isin kadhanna.

We then, [as] workers together [with him], beseech [you] also that ye receive not the grace of God 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 saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now [is] the accepted time; behold, now [is] the day of salvation.)

3 Nu akka tajaajilli keenya hin tuffatamneef, karaa nama kamii irra iyyuu gufuu hin keenyu.

Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed:

4 Qooda kanaa nu karaa hundaan akka tajaajiltoota Waaqaatti of dhiʼeessina; obsa guddaadhaan, dhiphinaan, gidiraa fi yaaddoon,

But in all [things] approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,

5 garafamuun, mana hidhaatti galfamuun, jeequmsaan, hojii dadhabsiisaa hojjechuun, hirriba dhabuun, beelaʼuun,

In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings;

6 qulqullaaʼummaan, hubannaan, obsaa fi gara laafinaan, Hafuura Qulqulluu fi jaalala of tuulummaa hin qabneen,

By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned,

7 dubbii dhugaatii fi humna Waaqaatiin, miʼa waraanaa kan qajeelinaa harka mirgaatii fi harka bitaatti qabachuun,

By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,

8 ulfinaa fi salphinaan, maqaa baduu fi maqaa toluun jiraanneerra; akkasumas utuu dhugaa qabeeyyii taanee jirruu, sobduu jedhamneerra;

By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and [yet] true;

9 beekamtoota turre; garuu akka warra hin beekaminiitti hedamne; nu duʼaa jirra; garuu kunoo ni jiraanna; ni tumamna; garuu hin ajjeefamnu;

As unknown, and [yet] well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed;

10 ni gaddina; garuu yeroo hunda ni gammanna; hiyyeeyyii dha; garuu namoota hedduu sooromsina; homaa hin qabnu; garuu waan hunda qabna.

As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and [yet] possessing all things.

11 Yaa warra Qorontos, nu afaan guunnee isinitti dubbanneerra; garaan keenyas isiniif banamaa dha.

O [ye] Corinthians, our mouth is open unto you, our heart is enlarged.

12 Isinitu garaa nu dhokfate malee nu garaa isin hin dhokfanne.

Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own bowels.

13 Ani akka waan isin ijoollee koo taataniittin isinitti dubbadha; isinis akkasuma garaa keessan balʼisaa nuu banaa.

Now for a recompence in the same, (I speak as unto [my] children, ) be ye also enlarged.

14 Warra hin amanneen walitti hin camadaminaa. Qajeelummaa fi jalʼinni maal wal irraa qabu? Yookaan ifni dukkana wajjin tokkummaa maalii qaba?

Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

15 Kiristoosii fi Belhor gidduu walii galtee maaliitu jira? Namni amanu tokko nama hin amanne wajjin maal wal irraa qaba?

And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?

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.”

And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in [them]; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

17 Kanaafuu, “Isaan keessaa baʼaa; isaan irraas gargar foʼamaa; jedha Gooftaan. Waan xuraaʼaa hin tuqinaa, anis isinan simadha.”

Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the 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 will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
