Statui autem hoc ipsum apud me , ne iterum in tristitia venirem ad vos .
ወዘንተ እንከ መከርኩ በነፍስየ ኢይምጻእ ትኩዝየ ኀቤክሙ ።
But I determined this for myself, that I would not come to you again in sorrow.
2:2 ⧉ ⤴︎ εἰ γὰρ ἐγὼ λυπῶ ὑμᾶς , καὶ τίς ὁ εὐφραίνων με εἰ μὴ ὁ λυπούμενος ἐξ ἐμοῦ ;

ወእመሰ አነ አተከዝኩክሙ መኑ ያስተፌሥሐኒ ዘእንበለ ዘአነ አተከዝክዎ ።
For if I make you grieve, then who will make me glad but he who is made to grieve by me?
2:3 ⧉ ⤴︎ καὶ ἔγραψα τοῦτο αὐτὸ ἵνα μὴ ἐλθὼν λύπην σχῶ ἀφ’ ὧν ἔδει με χαίρειν , πεποιθὼς ἐπὶ πάντας ὑμᾶς ὅτι ἡ ἐμὴ χαρὰ πάντων ὑμῶν ἐστιν .
Et hoc ipsum scripsi vobis , ut non cum venero , tristitiam super tristitiam habeam , de quibus oportuerat me gaudere : confidens in omnibus vobis , quia meum gaudium , omnium vestrum est .

And I wrote this very thing to you, so that when I came, I wouldn’t have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all that my joy would be shared by all of you.
2:4 ⧉ ⤴︎ ἐκ γὰρ πολλῆς θλίψεως καὶ συνοχῆς καρδίας ἔγραψα ὑμῖν διὰ πολλῶν δακρύων , οὐχ ἵνα λυπηθῆτε ἀλλὰ τὴν ἀγάπην ἵνα γνῶτε ἣν ἔχω περισσοτέρως εἰς ὑμᾶς .

For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote to you with many tears, not that you should be made to grieve, but that you might know the love that I have so abundantly for you.
2:5 ⧉ ⤴︎ Εἰ δέ τις λελύπηκεν , οὐκ ἐμὲ λελύπηκεν , ἀλλὰ ἀπὸ μέρους , ἵνα μὴ ἐπιβαρῶ , πάντας ὑμᾶς .

But if any has caused sorrow, he has caused sorrow not to me, but in part (that I not press too heavily) to you all.
2:6 ⧉ ⤴︎ ἱκανὸν τῷ τοιούτῳ ἡ ἐπιτιμία αὕτη ἡ ὑπὸ τῶν πλειόνων ,
Sufficit illi , qui ejusmodi est , objurgatio haec , quae fit a pluribus :
ተአክሎ ለዘከመዝ ዛቲ ተግሣጽ እንተ ረከበቶ እምብዙኃን ።
This punishment which was inflicted by the many is sufficient for such a one;
2:7 ⧉ ⤴︎ ὥστε τοὐναντίον μᾶλλον ὑμᾶς χαρίσασθαι καὶ παρακαλέσαι , μήπως τῇ περισσοτέρᾳ λύπῃ καταποθῇ ὁ τοιοῦτος .
ita ut e contrario magis donetis , et consolemini , ne forte abundantiori tristitia absorbeatur qui ejusmodi est .
ወዓዲ ይደሉ ከመ ትስረዩ ሎቱ ወታስተፍሥሕዎ ከመ ኢይሠጠም እምብዝኀ ኀዘን ዘከመዝ ።
so that, on the contrary, you should rather forgive him and comfort him, lest by any means such a one should be swallowed up with his excessive sorrow.
2:8 ⧉ ⤴︎ διὸ παρακαλῶ ὑμᾶς κυρῶσαι εἰς αὐτὸν ἀγάπην ·

Therefore I beg you to confirm your love toward him.
2:9 ⧉ ⤴︎ εἰς τοῦτο γὰρ καὶ ἔγραψα ἵνα γνῶ τὴν δοκιμὴν ὑμῶν , εἰ εἰς πάντα ὑπήκοοί ἐστε .
Ideo enim et scripsi , ut cognoscam experimentum vestrum , an in omnibus obedientes sitis .
ወበእንተዝ ጸሐፍኩ ለክሙ ከመ አእምር ግዕዘክሙ ለእመሁ በኵሉ ትትኤዘዙኒ አው አልቦ ።
For to this end I also wrote, that I might know the proof of you, whether you are obedient in all things.
2:10 ⧉ ⤴︎ ᾧ δέ τι χαρίζεσθε , κἀγώ · καὶ γὰρ ἐγὼ ὃ κεχάρισμαι , εἴ τι κεχάρισμαι , δι’ ὑμᾶς ἐν προσώπῳ Χριστοῦ ,

Now I also forgive whomever you forgive anything. For if indeed I have forgiven anything, I have forgiven that one for your sakes in the presence of Christ,
2:11 ⧉ ⤴︎ ἵνα μὴ πλεονεκτηθῶμεν ὑπὸ τοῦ σατανᾶ · οὐ γὰρ αὐτοῦ τὰ νοήματα ἀγνοοῦμεν .
ut non circumveniamur a Satana : non enim ignoramus cogitationes ejus .
ከመ ኢይትዐገለነ ሰይጣን እስመ አኮ ዘንስሕቶ ኅሊናሁ ።
that no advantage may be gained over us by Satan, for we are not ignorant of his schemes.
2:12 ⧉ ⤴︎ Ἐλθὼν δὲ εἰς τὴν Τρῳάδα εἰς τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τοῦ Χριστοῦ , καὶ θύρας μοι ἀνεῳγμένης ἐν κυρίῳ ,

Now when I came to Troas for the Good News of Christ, and when a door was opened to me in the Lord,
2:13 ⧉ ⤴︎ οὐκ ἔσχηκα ἄνεσιν τῷ πνεύματί μου τῷ μὴ εὑρεῖν με Τίτον τὸν ἀδελφόν μου , ἀλλὰ ἀποταξάμενος αὐτοῖς ἐξῆλθον εἰς Μακεδονίαν .

I had no relief for my spirit, because I didn’t find Titus my brother, but taking my leave of them, I went out into Macedonia.
2:14 ⧉ ⤴︎ Τῷ δὲ θεῷ χάρις τῷ πάντοτε θριαμβεύοντι ἡμᾶς ἐν τῷ Χριστῷ καὶ τὴν ὀσμὴν τῆς γνώσεως αὐτοῦ φανεροῦντι δι’ ἡμῶν ἐν παντὶ τόπῳ ·

Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and reveals through us the sweet aroma of his knowledge in every place.
2:15 ⧉ ⤴︎ ὅτι Χριστοῦ εὐωδία ἐσμὲν τῷ θεῷ ἐν τοῖς σῳζομένοις καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἀπολλυμένοις ,

እስመ መዐዛሁ ለክርስቶስ ንሕነ በኀበ እግዚአብሔር በእንተ እለ ይድኅኑ ወእለሂ ይትኀጐሉ ።
For we are a sweet aroma of Christ to God in those who are being saved and in those who perish:
2:16 ⧉ ⤴︎ οἷς μὲν ὀσμὴ ἐκ θανάτου εἰς θάνατον , οἷς δὲ ὀσμὴ ἐκ ζωῆς εἰς ζωήν . καὶ πρὸς ταῦτα τίς ἱκανός ;

For we are not as so many, peddling the word of God. But as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God, we speak in Christ.
