2 Corinthians 12
1 It is doubtless not profitable for me to boast, but I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
Yoo buʼaa qabaachuu baate iyyuu ani nan boona. Ani gara waan Gooftaan na argisiiseetii fi mulʼata isa biraa dhufeetti nan qajeela.
2 I know a man in Christ who was caught up into the third heaven fourteen years ago—whether in the body, I don’t know, or whether out of the body, I don’t know; God knows.
Namichi Kiristoositti jiru tokko waggaa kudha afur dura gara samii sadaffaatti ol fudhatamuu isaa nan beeka. Innis dhagna fooniitiin taʼuu fi taʼuu baachuu isaa Waaqatu beeka malee ani hin beeku.
3 I know such a man (whether in the body, or outside of the body, I don’t know; God knows),
Ani nama akkanaa nan beeka; dhagna fooniitiin taʼuu fi taʼuu baachuu isaa ani hin beeku; Waaqatu beeka;
4 how he was caught up into Paradise and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
innis gara jannataatti ol fudhatamee waan hin dubbatamne kan akka namni himuuf hin eeyyamamne dhagaʼe.
5 On behalf of such a one I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except in my weaknesses.
Ani waaʼee nama akkasiitiif nan boona; garuu waaʼee dadhabbii kootii malee waaʼee ofii kootii hin boonu.
6 For if I would desire to boast, I will not be foolish; for I will speak the truth. But I refrain, so that no man may think more of me than that which he sees in me or hears from me.
Ani waanan dhugaa dubbachaa jiruuf yoon boonuu filadhe iyyuu hin gowwoomu. Garuu namni tokko iyyuu waan narratti arguu fi waan narraa dhagaʼu caalaa akka waaʼee koo hin yaadneef ani waan akkasii irraa ofin qusadha;
7 By reason of the exceeding greatness of the revelations, that I should not be exalted excessively, a thorn in the flesh was given to me: a messenger of Satan to torment me, that I should not be exalted excessively.
akka ani mulʼata akka malee guddaa kanaan of hin tuulleef qoraattiin foon koo waraanu tokko, ergamaan Seexanaa akka na dhiphisuuf naa kenname.
8 Concerning this thing, I begged the Lord three times that it might depart from me.
Wanni kun akka narraa fagaatuuf siʼa sadii Gooftaa nan kadhadhe.
9 He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me.
Inni garuu, “Ayyaanni koo si gaʼa; humni koo dadhabbii keessatti guutuu taʼaatii” naan jedhe. Kanaafuu humni Kiristoos akka narra boqotuuf waaʼee dadhabbii kootii caalchisee gammaduudhaan akka malee nan boona.
10 Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, and in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then am I strong.
Ani waaʼee Kiristoosiif jedhee dadhabbii keessatti, arrabsoo keessatti, gidiraa keessatti, ariʼatama keessatti, rakkina keessattis gammaduun koo kanumaaf. Yoos ani yeroon dadhabutti nan jabaadhaatii.
11 I have become foolish in boasting. You compelled me, for I ought to have been commended by you, for I am in no way inferior to the very best apostles, though I am nothing.
Ani of gowwoomseera; waan kanatti garuu isinitu na dhiibe. Ani yoon waanuma tokkotti illee hedamuu baadhe, waan “Ergamoota hangafoota” sanaa gad hin taaneef silaa isin naa dubbachuu qabdu turtan.
12 Truly the signs of an apostle were worked among you in all perseverance, in signs and wonders and mighty works.
Mallattoowwan ergamaa dhugaa tokko jechuunis mallattoon, hojiin dinqiitii fi raajiin isin gidduutti obsa guddaadhaan hojjetamaniiru.
13 For what is there in which you were made inferior to the rest of the assemblies, unless it is that I myself was not a burden to you? Forgive me this wrong!
Ani utuu baʼaa isinitti hin taʼin hafuu kootiin alatti wanti isin ittiin waldoota kiristaanaa kaanii gad taatan maali? Yakka kana naa dhiisaa!
14 Behold, this is the third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not be a burden to you; for I seek not your possessions, but you. For the children ought not to save up for the parents, but the parents for the children.
Ani siʼa sadaffaaf gara keessan dhufuuf qophaaʼeera; ani isinuma malee qabeenya keessan waan hin barbaanneef baʼaa isinitti hin taʼu. Warratu ijoollee isaaniitiif qabeenya kuusuu qaba malee ijoolleen warra isaaniitiif kuusuu hin qaban.
15 I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls. If I love you more abundantly, am I loved the less?
Ani waanan qabu hunda gammachuun isiniif nan kenna; ofii koo illee isiniif nan kenna. Sababii ani baayʼisee isin jaalladhuuf isin immoo xinneessitanii na jaallattuu ree?
16 Even so, I myself didn’t burden you. But you might say that being crafty, I caught you with deception.
Haa taʼuu malee ani baʼaa isinitti hin taane. Ani garuu waanan abshaala taʼeef malaan isin qabadhe.
17 Did I take advantage of you by anyone of those whom I have sent to you?
Ani namoota isinitti erge keessaa karaa isa tokkootiin illee waa isin irraa nyaadheeraa?
18 I exhorted Titus, and I sent the brother with him. Did Titus take any advantage of you? Didn’t we walk in the same spirit? Didn’t we walk in the same steps?
Ani akka Tiitoon gara keessan dhufuuf isa kadhadhe; obboleessa tokkos isa wajjin ergeera. Tiitoon waa isin irraa nyaateeraa? Nu hafuura tokkoon, karuma tokko irra deddeebiʼaa hin turree?
19 Again, do you think that we are excusing ourselves to you? In the sight of God we speak in Christ. But all things, beloved, are for your edifying.
Isin waan nu hamma ammaatti fuula keessan duratti ofii keenyaaf falmannu seetanii? Nu akka warra Kiristoositti jiraataniitti fuula Waaqaa duratti dubbanna; yaa michoota, waan kana hunda hojjechuun keenya isinuma jajjabeessuuf.
20 For I am afraid that perhaps when I come, I might find you not the way I want to, and that I might be found by you as you don’t desire, that perhaps there would be strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, factions, slander, whisperings, proud thoughts, or riots,
Yeroo ani gara keessan dhufutti isin akka ani fedhu taatanii hin argamtan taʼa. Yookaan ani akka isin feetan taʼee hin argamu taʼa jedheen sodaadhaatii. Wal loluun, hinaaffaan, aariin bobaʼuun, wal qooduun, maqaa nama balleessuun, hamiin, of tuulummaanii fi jeequmsi isin gidduu jiraata jedheen sodaadha.
21 that again when I come my God would humble me before you, and I would mourn for many of those who have sinned before now, and not repented of the uncleanness, sexual immorality, and lustfulness which they committed.
Yeroo ani deebiʼee gara keessan dhufutti Waaqni koo fuula keessan duratti gad na deebisa; anis waaʼee namoota baayʼee kanneen kanaan dura cubbuu hojjetanii fi xuraaʼummaa irraa, halalummaa fi jireenya gad dhiisii hamaa irraa hin deebiʼiniif nan gadda jedheen sodaadha.
