1 L aakiin waxaan aniga qudhaydu goostay inaanan haddana caloolxumo idiinla imanin.

As I thought about it, I decided I would not come to you again. It would only make you sad.

2 W aayo, haddaan idin calool xumeeyo, waa kee kan iga farxinayaa kii aan calool xumeeyey maahee?

If I make you sad, who is going to make me happy? How can you make me happy if I make you sad?

3 W axakan ayaan u qoray inaanan markaan imaado ka calool xumaan kuwa aan ku farxi lahaa, anigoo idinku aaminsan dhammaantiin inay farxaddaydu tahay farxadda kulligiin.

That is why I wrote that letter to you. I did not want to visit you and be made sad by the ones who should be making me happy. I am sure when I am happy, you are happy also.

4 W aayo, dhib badan iyo silica qalbiga ayaan idinku soo qoray anigoo aad u ilmaynaya, oo ma aha inaad calool xumaataan, laakiin inaad garataan jacaylka aad u sii badan ee aan idiin qabo. Dembiilaha Toobadkeena Waa In La Aqbalo

I wrote you with a troubled heart. Tears were coming from my eyes. I did not want to make you sad. I wanted you to know how much I loved you. Forgiving a Christian

5 L aakiin mid uuni hadduu qof calool xumeeyey, aniga ima uu calool xumayn, laakiin dhammaantiin buu si ahaan idiin calool xumeeyey; dooni maayo inaan idin culaysiyo.

If someone among you has brought sorrow, he has not made me as sad as he has all of you. I say this so I may not make it hard for you.

6 T aqsiirtan kuwa badani ay saareen way ku filan tahay kaasoo kale.

Most of you have punished him. That is enough for such a person.

7 L aakiinse waa inaad isaga cafidaan oo u gargaartaan inaanay sina caloolxumo aad u badani liqin kaasoo kale.

Now you should forgive him and comfort him. If you do not, he will be so sad that he will want to give up.

8 S idaa daraaddeed waxaan idinka baryayaa inaad jacaylkiinna u caddaysaan isaga.

I ask you to show him you do love him.

9 W aayo, taa aawadeed ayaan u qoray inaan idin imtixaamo inaad wax walba ku dhega nugushihiin iyo in kale.

This is why I wrote to you. I wanted to test you to see if you were willing to obey in all things.

10 K ii aad wax ka cafidaan, aniguna waan ka cafiyaa: waxaan anigu ka cafiyeyna, haddaan wax ka cafiyey, waxaan uga cafiyey aawadiin Masiix hortiisa,

If you forgive a man, I forgive him also. If I have forgiven anything, I have done it because of you. Christ sees me as I forgive.

11 i naan Shayddaan inaga faa'iidaysan, waayo, innagu ma nihin kuwo jaahil ka ah xeeladdiisa. Dhibaatooyinka Iyo Libta Xagga Injiilka

We forgive so that Satan will not win. We know how he works!

12 M arkaan Taroo'as imid inaan injiilka Masiix kaga wacdiyo, ee uu Rabbigu irid iga furay,

When I arrived in the city of Troas, the Lord opened the door for me to preach the Good News of Christ.

13 r uuxaygu ma nasan, waayo, ma aan helin walaalkay Tiitos, laakiin iyagaan nabadgelyeeyey oo Makedoniyaan u kacay.

I was worried because I could not find our brother Titus. After saying good-bye, I went on my way to the country of Macedonia.

14 I laah baa mahad leh kan had iyo goorba libta inagu siiya Masiix, oo meel walba udgoonka aqoontiisa gaadhsiiya, ee innaga inaga gaadhsiiya.

We thank God for the power Christ has given us. He leads us and makes us win in everything. He speaks through us wherever we go. The Good News is like a sweet smell to those who hear it.

15 W aayo, waxaynu Ilaah u nahay udgoonka Masiix xagga kuwa badbaadaya iyo kuwa lumayaba;

We are a sweet smell of Christ that reaches up to God. It reaches out to those who are being saved from the punishment of sin and to those who are still lost in sin.

16 k uwa dambe udgoonka xagga dhimasho ilaa dhimasho, kuwa kalena udgoonka xagga nolol ilaa nolol. Oo yaa ku filan waxyaalahan?

It is the smell of death to those who are lost in sin. It is the smell of life to those who are being saved from the punishment of sin. Who is able for such a work?

17 W aayo, innagu la mid ma nihin kuwa badan ee ereyga Ilaah ka baayacmushtara, laakiin sida kuwa daacadda ah iyo kuwa Ilaah ayaynu Masiix ugu hadallaa Ilaah hortiisa.

We are not like others. They preach God’s Word to make money. We are men of truth and have been sent by God. We speak God’s Word with Christ’s power. All the time God sees us.
