2 Qorontos 8
1 Yaa obboloota, waaʼee ayyaana Waaqni waldoota kiristaanaa Maqedooniyaatiif kennee isin akka beektan ni barbaanna.
Moreover, brethren, we do you to wit of the favour of YHWH bestowed on the assemblies of Macedonia;
2 Isaanis utuu dhiphina baayʼeen qoramuutti jiranuu, baayʼinni gammachuu isaaniitii fi akka malee deeguun isaanii arjummaa isaanii baayʼiseera.
How that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality.
3 Ani akka isaan hamma dandeettii isaanii, dandeettii isaaniitii olis fedhii isaaniitiin kennan dhugaa nan baʼaatii. Isaan guutumaan guutuutti ofuma isaaniitiin
For to their power, I bear record, yea, and beyond their power they were willing of themselves;
4 carraa qulqulloota tajaajiluu kana keessatti akka hirmaatan cimsanii nu kadhatan.
Praying us with much intreaty that we would receive the gift, and take upon us the fellowship of the ministering to the saints.
5 Isaan garuu duraan dursanii Gooftaaf, ergasii immoo fedhii Waaqaatiin nuuf of kennan malee akka nu eegne hin goone.
And this they did, not as we hoped, but first gave their own selves to YHWH, and unto us by the will of YHWH.
6 Kanaafuu Tiitoon akkuma duraan jalqabe sana hojii arjummaa kana gama keessaniin akka fiixaan baasuuf isa kadhanne.
Insomuch that we desired Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also finish in you the same favour also.
7 Isin garuu akkuma waan hundaan jechuunis amantiin, dubbiin, beekumsaan, tattaaffii guutuu fi jaalala nuuf qabdaniin caaltan sana, kennaa arjummaa kaaniinis akka caaltan mirkaneessaa.
Therefore, as ye abound in every thing, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this favour also.
8 Ani tattaaffii namoota kaaniitiin wal bira qabee jaalalli keessan dhugaa taʼuu isaa qoruu barbaadeeti malee isin ajajaa hin jiru.
I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love.
9 Isin ayyaana Gooftaa keenya Yesuus Kiristoos ni beektuutii; inni utuu sooressa taʼee jiruu akka isin hiyyummaa isaatiin sooromtaniif isiniif jedhee hiyyoome.
For ye know the favour of our Master Yahushua the Messiah, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.
10 Waan kana irratti gorsi ani waaʼee waan hunda caalaa isiniif wayyuu irratti kennu kanaa dha. Isin waggaa darbe kennuu qofaan utuu hin taʼin fedhii kennuuf qabdaniinis kanneen jalqabaa turtan.
And herein I give my advice: for this is expedient for you, who have begun before, not only to do, but also to be forward a year ago.
11 Ammas fedhiin cimaan isin hojii sanaaf qabdan isa fiixa baasuu keessaniin akka mirkanaaʼuuf waanuma qabdaniin hojii sana fiixaan baasaa.
Now therefore perform the doing of it; that as there was a readiness to will, so there may be a performance also out of that which ye have.
12 Erga fedhiin jiraate kennaan sun akkuma waan namni qabuutti fudhatama malee akka waan namni hin qabneetti miti.
For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not.
13 Fedhiin keenya akka isin rakkattanii warra kaanitti immoo toluuf utuu hin taʼin akka wal qixxummaan jiraatuuf.
For I mean not that other men be eased, and ye burdened:
14 Akka wanti isaan irraa hafu hirʼina keessan guutuuf, yeroo ammaa wanti isin irraa hafu hirʼina isaanii ni guuta. Yoos wal qixxummaan ni jiraata;
But by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may be a supply for their want, that their abundance also may be a supply for your want: that there may be equality:
15 kunis akkuma, “Isa baayʼee walitti qabateef baayʼeen hin hafne; isa xinnoo walitti qabatettis wanni tokko iyyuu hin hirʼanne” jedhamee barreeffamee dha.
As it is written, He that had gathered much had nothing over; and he that had gathered little had no lack.
16 Waaqa yaaduma ani isiniif qabu garaa Tiitoo keessa kaaʼe sana nan galateeffadha.
But thanks be to YHWH, which put the same earnest care into the heart of Titus for you.
17 Tiitoon gorsa keenya fudhachuu qofaan utuu hin taʼin fedhii guddaan ofuma isaatiin kaʼee gara keessan dhufaa jiraatii.
For indeed he accepted the exhortation; but being more forward, of his own accord he went unto you.
18 Nus obboleessa tajaajila wangeelaatiin waldoota kiristaanaa hundaan jajame sana isa wajjin ni ergina.
And we have sent with him the brother, whose praise is in the glad tidings throughout all the assemblies;
19 Kana malees inni hojii nu ulfina Gooftaatii fi fedhii gaarii qabnu mulʼisuuf hojjennu keessatti akka nu wajjin deemuuf waldoota kiristaanaatiin filatameera.
And not that only, but who was also chosen of the assemblies to travel with us with this favour, which is administered by us to the glory of the same Master, and declaration of your ready mind:
20 Nu kennaa arjummaa kana hojii irra oolchuu keessatti akka namni kam iyyuu maqaa nu hin balleessine of eegganna.
Avoiding this, that no man should blame us in this abundance which is administered by us:
21 Nu utuu fuula Gooftaa qofa duratti hin taʼin fuula namootaa durattis waan qajeelaa hojjechuuf tattaaffanna.
Providing for honest things, not only in the sight of YHWH, but also in the sight of men.
22 Kana malees obboleessa keenya isa nu yeroo baayʼee waan hedduun qorree nama hisataa taʼuu isaa mirkaneeffanne sana isaan wajjin ergineerra; innis waan amantii guddaa isin irraa qabuuf kan duraa caalaa ni yaada.
And we have sent with them our brother, whom we have oftentimes proved diligent in many things, but now much more diligent, upon the great confidence which I have in you.
23 Waaʼee Tiitoo irratti, inni garee koo kan na wajjin isin gidduu hojjetuu dha; waaʼee obboloota keenyaa immoo isaan bakka buʼoota waldoota kiristaanaatii fi ulfina Kiristoos.
Whether any do enquire of Titus, he is my partner and fellowhelper concerning you: or our brethren be enquired of, they are the messengers of the assemblies, and the glory of the Messiah.
24 Kanaafuu akka waldoonni kiristaanaa arguu dandaʼaniif dhugaa jaalala keessaniitii fi sababii nu isiniin of jajnuuf namoota kanneenitti argisiisaa.
Wherefore shew ye to them, and before the assemblies, the proof of your love, and of our boasting on your behalf.
