2 Qorontos 1
1 Phaawulos isa fedhii Waaqaatiin ergamaa Kiristoos Yesuus taʼee fi obboleessa keenya Xiimotewos irraa, Gara waldaa kiristaanaa Waaqaa ishee Qorontos jirtuutii fi qulqulloota Akaayaa guutuu keessa jiraatan hundumaatti:
Paul, apostle of Jesus Christ by God's will, and the brother Timotheus, to the assembly of God which is in Corinth, with all the saints who are in the whole of Achaia.
2 Abbaa keenya Waaqaa fi Yesuus Kiristoos Gooftaa irraa ayyaannii fi nagaan isiniif haa taʼu.
Grace to you, and peace from God our Father, and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Waaqnii fi Abbaan Gooftaa keenya Yesuus Kiristoos, Abbaan araaraatii fi Waaqni jajjabina hundaa haa eebbifamu;
Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassions, and God of all encouragement;
4 inni akka nu jajjabina Waaqa biraa arganne sanaan warra dhiphina adda addaa keessa jiran jajjabeessuu dandeenyuuf dhiphina keenya hunda keessatti nu jajjabeessa.
who encourages us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to encourage those who are in any tribulation whatever, through the encouragement with which we ourselves are encouraged of God.
5 Akkuma nu dhiphina Kiristoos keessatti baayʼee hirmaannu, akkasuma immoo karaa Kiristoosiin jajjabinni nuu baayʼata.
Because, even as the sufferings of the Christ abound towards us, so through the Christ does our encouragement also abound.
6 Nu yoo dhiphanne jajjabinaa fi fayyina keessaniif taʼa; nu yoo jajjabaanne jajjabina keessaniif taʼa; jajjabinni kunis kan isin yeroo dhiphina nu dhiphannu kana keessa dabartanitti obsaan dhaabachuudhaan argattanii dha.
But whether we are in tribulation, [it is] for your encouragement and salvation, wrought in the endurance of the same sufferings which we also suffer,
7 Abdiin nu waaʼee keessaniif qabnu cimaa dha; isin akkuma dhiphina keenya keessatti hirmaattan amma immoo jajjabina keenya keessatti akka hirmaattan beeknaatii.
(and our hope for you [is] sure; ) or whether we are encouraged, [it is] for your encouragement and salvation: knowing that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so also of the encouragement.
8 Yaa obboloota, isin waaʼee dhiphina biyya Asiyaatti nurra gaʼee akka wallaaltan hin barbaannu. Hamma lubbuudhaan jiraachuuf illee abdii kutannutti dhiphinni baachuudhaaf humna keenyaa ol taʼe nurra gaʼee tureetii.
For we do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, as to our tribulation which happened [to us] in Asia, that we were excessively pressed beyond [our] power, so as to despair even of living.
9 Dhugumaanuu murtiin duʼaa nutti dhagaʼamee turre. Kun garuu akka nu Waaqa warra duʼan kaasutti malee ofii keenyatti hin amananneef taʼe.
But we ourselves had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not have our trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead;
10 Inni balaa duʼa akkasii jalaa nu baaseera; nu baasas. Inni ittuma fufee akka nu baasu abdii keenya isa irra kaaʼanneerra.
who has delivered us from so great a death, and does deliver; in whom we confide that he will also yet deliver;
11 Akkuma isin kadhannaa keessaniin nu gargaartan, ayyaana kadhannaa namoota baayʼeetiif deebii taʼee nuu kenname sanaaf namoonni baayʼeen nuuf galateeffatu.
ye also labouring together by supplication for us that the gift towards us, through means of many persons, may be the subject of the thanksgiving of many for us.
12 Egaa wanti nu ittiin of jajnu kanaa dha: Akka nu qulqullummaa fi amanamummaa Waaqa biraa argameen fooniin keessumattuu hariiroo isin wajjin qabnuun jiraachaa turre yaadni garaa keenyaa dhugaa nuuf baʼa. Kanas akka ayyaana Waaqaatti goone malee akka ogummaa addunyaatti miti.
For our boasting is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and sincerity before God, (not in fleshly wisdom but in God's grace, ) we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly towards you.
13 Nu waan isin dubbisuu yookaan hubachuu hin dandeenye tokko illee isinii hin barreessinuutii. Ani akka isin hamma dhumaatti hubattan nan abdadha;
For we do not write other things to you but what ye well know and recognise; and I hope that ye will recognise to the end,
14 innis akkuma isin gara tokko nu hubattan kana, akka guyyaa Gooftaa Yesuusitti akkuma nu isiniin of jajnu sana isinis nuun of jajuu dandeessan guutummaatti hubattanii dha.
even as also ye have recognised us in part, that we are your boast, even as ye [are] ours in the day of the Lord Jesus.
15 Anis sababiin waan kana amaneef akka isin ayyaana lammaffaa qabaattaniif jedhee jalqabatti gara keessan dhufuu barbaade.
And with this confidence I purposed to come to you previously, that ye might have a second favour;
16 Ani yeroon Maqedooniyaa dhaqutti isin ilaaluu fi yeroon Maqedooniyaadhaa deebiʼuttis gara keessan dhufee, akka isin yeroo ani Yihuudaa dhaqutti na ergitan barbaade.
and to pass through to Macedonia by you, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and to be set forward by you to Judaea.
17 Ani yeroon waan kana karoorfadhetti akka salphaattin hojjedhee? Yookaan akka yaada fooniitti yeruma tokkotti, “Eeyyee, eeyyee” fi “Waawuu, waawuu” jechuufan karoora baafadhaa ree?
Having therefore this purpose, did I then use lightness? Or what I purpose, do I purpose according to flesh, that there should be with me yea yea, and nay nay?
18 Akkuma Waaqni amanamaa taʼe dubbiin nu isinitti dubbannus “Eeyyee” fi “Waawuu” miti.
Now God [is] faithful, that our word to you is not yea and nay.
19 Yesuus Kiristoos Ilmi Waaqaa inni nu jechuunis ani, Silwaanosii fi Xiimotewos isin gidduutti lallabne sun, “Eeyyee” fi “Waawuu” hin turreetii; isa keessa “Eeyyeetu” jira.
For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, he who has been preached by us among you (by me and Silvanus and Timotheus), did not become yea and nay, but yea is in him.
20 Waadaawwan Waaqaa hundinuu Kiristoosiin “Eeyyeedhaatii”. Kanaafuu nu karaa isaatiin ulfina Waaqaatiif “Ameen” jenna.
For whatever promises of God [there are], in him is the yea, and in him the amen, for glory to God by us.
21 Egaa kan akka nu isin wajjin Kiristoositti jabaannee dhaabannu godhuu fi kan nu dibe Waaqa;
Now he that establishes us with you in Christ, and has anointed us, [is] God,
22 innis chaappaa nutti chaappessee, qabdii Hafuura Qulqulluu garaa keenya keessa kaaʼe.
who also has sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.
23 Ani garuu isin qusachuudhaaf jecha Qorontositti hin deebine; anis akka inni dhugaa natti baʼuuf Waaqa ofitti nan waama.
But I call God to witness upon my soul that to spare you I have not yet come to Corinth.
24 Nu gammachuu keessaniif isin wajjin hojjenna malee amantii keessan irratti gooftummaa hin qabnu; isin amantiin jabaattanii dhaabattaniitii.
Not that we rule over your faith, but are fellow-workmen of your joy: for by faith ye stand.
