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, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother, to the church of God which is at 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 mercies and God of all comfort;

4 inni akka nu jajjabina Waaqa biraa arganne sanaan warra dhiphina adda addaa keessa jiran jajjabeessuu dandeenyuuf dhiphina keenya hunda keessatti nu jajjabeessa.

who comforts us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

5 Akkuma nu dhiphina Kiristoos keessatti baayʼee hirmaannu, akkasuma immoo karaa Kiristoosiin jajjabinni nuu baayʼata.

For as the sufferings of Christ abound to us, even so our comfort also abounds through Christ.

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 if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation. If we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you the patient enduring 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.

Our hope for you is steadfast, knowing that, since you are partakers of the sufferings, so also are you of the comfort.

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 desire to have you uninformed, brothers, concerning our affliction which happened in Asia, that we were weighed down exceedingly, beyond our power, so much that we despaired even of life.

9 Dhugumaanuu murtiin duʼaa nutti dhagaʼamee turre. Kun garuu akka nu Waaqa warra duʼan kaasutti malee ofii keenyatti hin amananneef taʼe.

Yes, we ourselves have had the sentence of death within ourselves, that we should not 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 delivered us out of so great a death, and he will deliver us. On him we have set our hope that he will also deliver us again;

11 Akkuma isin kadhannaa keessaniin nu gargaartan, ayyaana kadhannaa namoota baayʼeetiif deebii taʼee nuu kenname sanaaf namoonni baayʼeen nuuf galateeffatu.

you also helping together on our behalf by your petition; that, for the gift bestowed on us by means of many, thanks may be given by many persons on our behalf.

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 with pure motives and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God we conducted ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward 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 write no other things to you, than what you read or even acknowledge, and I hope you will fully acknowledge;

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.

as also you acknowledged us in part, that we are your boasting, even as you also are ours, in the day of our Lord Jesus.

15 Anis sababiin waan kana amaneef akka isin ayyaana lammaffaa qabaattaniif jedhee jalqabatti gara keessan dhufuu barbaade.

In this confidence, I was determined to come first to you, that you might have a second benefit;

16 Ani yeroon Maqedooniyaa dhaqutti isin ilaaluu fi yeroon Maqedooniyaadhaa deebiʼuttis gara keessan dhufee, akka isin yeroo ani Yihuudaa dhaqutti na ergitan barbaade.

and by you to pass into Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and to be sent forward by you on my journey to Judea.

17 Ani yeroon waan kana karoorfadhetti akka salphaattin hojjedhee? Yookaan akka yaada fooniitti yeruma tokkotti, “Eeyyee, eeyyee” fi “Waawuu, waawuu” jechuufan karoora baafadhaa ree?

When I therefore was planning this, did I do it lightly? Or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be the "Yes, yes" and the "No, no?"

18 Akkuma Waaqni amanamaa taʼe dubbiin nu isinitti dubbannus “Eeyyee” fi “Waawuu” miti.

But as God is faithful, our word toward you is not "Yes and no."

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, who was preached among you by us, by me, Silvanus, and Timothy, was not "Yes and no," but in him is "Yes."

20 Waadaawwan Waaqaa hundinuu Kiristoosiin “Eeyyeedhaatii”. Kanaafuu nu karaa isaatiin ulfina Waaqaatiif “Ameen” jenna.

For however many are the promises of God, in him they are "Yes." Therefore also through him they are "Amen," to the glory of God through us.

21 Egaa kan akka nu isin wajjin Kiristoositti jabaannee dhaabannu godhuu fi kan nu dibe Waaqa;

Now he who establishes us with you in Christ, and anointed us, is God;

22 innis chaappaa nutti chaappessee, qabdii Hafuura Qulqulluu garaa keenya keessa kaaʼe.

who also sealed us, and gave us the down payment 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 as a witness to my soul, that to spare you I did not come again 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 workers with you for your joy. For you stand firm in faith.
