6:1
Συνεργοῦντες δὲ καὶ παρακαλοῦμεν μὴ εἰς κενὸν τὴν χάριν τοῦ θεοῦ δέξασθαι ὑμᾶς
Adjuvantes autem exhortamur ne in vacuum gratiam Dei recipiatis.
ወናስተበቍዕሂ ኀቤክሙ ወንረድእሂ ተወከፉ ለነ ወኢትረስይዋ ለከንቱ ለጸጋ እግዚአብሔር እንተ ነሣእክሙ።
Working together, we entreat also that you do not receive the grace of God in vain.
6:2
λέγει γάρ, καιρῷ δεκτῷ ἐπήκουσά σου καὶ ἐν ἡμέρᾳ σωτηρίας ἐβοήθησά σοι· ἰδοὺ νῦν καιρὸς εὐπρόσδεκτος, ἰδοὺ νῦν ἡμέρα σωτηρίας
Ait enim : Tempore accepto exaudivi te, et in die salutis adjuvi te. Ecce nunc tempus acceptabile, ecce nunc dies salutis.
እስመ ከመዝ ይቤ «በዕለት ኅሪት እሰምዐከ ወበዕለተ መድኀኒት እረድአከ» ወናሁ ይእዜ ዕለት ኅሪት ወናሁ ዮም ዕለተ አድኅኖት።
For he says, “At an acceptable time I listened to you. In a day of salvation I helped you.” Behold, now is the acceptable time. Behold, now is the day of salvation.
6:3
μηδεμίαν ἐν μηδενὶ διδόντες προσκοπήν, ἵνα μὴ μωμηθῇ ἡ διακονία,
Nemini dantes ullam offensionem, ut non vituperetur ministerium nostrum :
ዑቁ እንከ ወኢተሀቡ ለመኑሂ ዕቅፍተ ከመ ኢታልስሑ መልእክተክሙ ወኢታንውርዋ።
We give no occasion of stumbling in anything, that our service may not be blamed,
6:4
ἀλλ’ ἐν παντὶ συνίσταντες ἑαυτοὺς ὡς θεοῦ διάκονοι, ἐν ὑπομονῇ πολλῇ, ἐν θλίψεσιν, ἐν ἀνάγκαις, ἐν στενοχωρίαις,
sed in omnibus exhibeamus nosmetipsos sicut Dei ministros in multa patientia, in tribulationibus, in necessitatibus, in angustiis,
ወበኵሉ አርትዑ ርእሰክሙ ወኩኑ ላእካነ ለእግዚአብሔር በብዙኅ ትዕግሥት በኵሉ ሕማም ወጻዕር ወምንዳቤ።
but in everything commending ourselves as servants of God: in great endurance, in afflictions, in hardships, in distresses,
6:5
ἐν πληγαῖς, ἐν φυλακαῖς, ἐν ἀκαταστασίαις, ἐν κόποις, ἐν ἀγρυπνίαις, ἐν νηστείαις,
in plagis, in carceribus, in seditionibus, in laboribus, in vigiliis, in jejuniis,
ወበተቀሥፎ ወበተሞቅሖ ወበስራሕ ወበተሀውኮ በትጋህ ወበጾም።
in beatings, in imprisonments, in riots, in labors, in watchings, in fastings,
6:6
ἐν ἁγνότητι, ἐν γνώσει, ἐν μακροθυμίᾳ, ἐν χρηστότητι, ἐν πνεύματι ἁγίῳ, ἐν ἀγάπῃ ἀνυποκρίτῳ,
in castitate, in scientia, in longanimitate, in suavitate, in Spiritu Sancto, in caritate non ficta,
ወበንጽሕ ወበአእምሮ በምክር ወበተዓግሦ በምሒር ወበመንፈስ ቅዱስ በፍቅር ዘእንበለ አድልዎ።
in pureness, in knowledge, in perseverance, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in sincere love,
6:7
ἐν λόγῳ ἀληθείας, ἐν δυνάμει θεοῦ· διὰ τῶν ὅπλων τῆς δικαιοσύνης τῶν δεξιῶν καὶ ἀριστερῶν,
in verbo veritatis, in virtute Dei, per arma justitiae a dextris et a sinistris,
በነገረ ጽድቅ ዘእንበለ ኑፋቄ በኀይለ እግዚአብሔር ወወልታ ጽድቅ ዘእምየማን ወዘእምፀጋም።
in the word of truth, in the power of God, by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
6:8
διὰ δόξης καὶ ἀτιμίας, διὰ δυσφημίας καὶ εὐφημίας· ὡς πλάνοι καὶ ἀληθεῖς,
per gloriam, et ignobilitatem, per infamiam, et bonam famam : ut seductores, et veraces, sicut qui ignoti, et cogniti :
በክብር ወበኀሣር በምድኀር ወበመርገም ከመ ኃጥኣን ወጻድቃን።
by glory and dishonor, by evil report and good report, as deceivers and yet true,
6:9
ὡς ἀγνοούμενοι καὶ ἐπιγινωσκόμενοι, ὡς ἀποθνῄσκοντες καὶ ἰδοὺ ζῶμεν, ὡς παιδευόμενοι καὶ μὴ θανατούμενοι,
quasi morientes, et ecce vivimus : ut castigati, et non mortificati :
ከመ እለ ኢየአምርዎሙ ወዕዉቃን ከመ አብዳን ወጠቢባን ከመ ምዉታን ወንሕነ ሕያዋን ከመ ምንስዋን ወኢቅቱላን።
as unknown and yet well known, as dying and behold—we live, as punished and not killed,
6:10
ὡς λυπούμενοι ἀεὶ δὲ χαίροντες, ὡς πτωχοὶ πολλοὺς δὲ πλουτίζοντες, ὡς μηδὲν ἔχοντες καὶ πάντα κατέχοντες.
quasi tristes, semper autem gaudentes : sicut egentes, multos autem locupletantes : tamquam nihil habentes, et omnia possidentes.
ከመ ትኩዛን ወዘልፈ ንትፌሣሕ ከመ ነዳያን ወለብዙኃን ታብዕሉ ከመ ዘአልብክሙ ወኢምንተኒ ወኵሉ ውስተ እዴክሙ።
as sorrowful yet always rejoicing, as poor yet making many rich, as having nothing and yet possessing all things.
6:11
Τὸ στόμα ἡμῶν ἀνέῳγεν πρὸς ὑμᾶς, Κορίνθιοι, ἡ καρδία ἡμῶν πεπλάτυνται·
Os nostrum patet ad vos, o Corinthii ; cor nostrum dilatatum est.
አፉነ ክሡት ለክሙ ኦ ሰብአ ቆሮንቶስ ወርሒብ ልብነ።
Our mouth is open to you, Corinthians. Our heart is enlarged.
6:12
οὐ στενοχωρεῖσθε ἐν ἡμῖν, στενοχωρεῖσθε δὲ ἐν τοῖς σπλάγχνοις ὑμῶν·
Non angustiamini in nobis : angustiamini autem in visceribus vestris :
ወአልብነ ንሂክ እምኔክሙ ወኢላዕሌክሙ እምኔነ አላ ንህክሙ ወተመንደብክሙ ለምሕረትክሙ።
You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted by your own affections.
6:13
τὴν δὲ αὐτὴν ἀντιμισθίαν, ὡς τέκνοις λέγω, πλατύνθητε καὶ ὑμεῖς.
eamdem autem habentes remunerationem, tamquam filiis dico, dilatamini et vos.
እብለክሙ ከመ ዘለደቂቅየ በእንተ ውእቱ ፍድዩ ዘይደሉ ሊተ ላዕሌክሙ አርሕቡ ሊተ አፍቅሮተክሙ አንትሙኒ።
Now in return—I speak as to my children—you also open your hearts.
6:14
Μὴ γίνεσθε ἑτεροζυγοῦντες ἀπίστοις· τίς γὰρ μετοχὴ δικαιοσύνῃ καὶ ἀνομίᾳ; ἢ τίς κοινωνία φωτὶ πρὸς σκότος;
Nolite jugum ducere cum infidelibus. Quae enim participatio justitiae cum iniquitate ? aut quae societas luci ad tenebras ?
ወኢትኩኑ ኑፉቃነ ወኢትሑሩ ውስተ አርዑተ እለ ኢየአምኑ መኑ ዘያስተዔርያ ለጽድቅ ምስለ ኀጢአት ወመኑ ዘይዴምሮ ለብርሃን ምስለ ጽልመት።
Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship do righteousness and iniquity have? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness?
6:15
τίς δὲ συμφώνησις Χριστοῦ πρὸς Βελιάρ, ἢ τίς μερὶς πιστῷ μετὰ ἀπίστου;
quae autem conventio Christi ad Belial ? aut quae pars fideli cum infideli ?
ወመኑ ዘያኀብሮ ለክርስቶስ ምስለ ቤልሆር ወመኑ ዘይከፍሎሙ ለመሃይምናን ምስለ ኑፉቃን።
What agreement does Christ have with Belial? Or what portion does a believer have with an unbeliever?
6:16
τίς δὲ συνκατάθεσις ναῷ θεοῦ μετὰ εἰδώλων; ἡμεῖς γὰρ ναὸς θεοῦ ἐσμεν ζῶντος· καθὼς εἶπεν ὁ θεὸς ὅτι ἐνοικήσω ἐν αὐτοῖς καὶ ἐνπεριπατήσω, καὶ ἔσομαι αὐτῶν θεός, καὶ αὐτοὶ ἔσονταί μου λαός.
qui autem consensus templo Dei cum idolis ? vos enim estis templum Dei vivi, sicut dicit Deus : Quoniam inhabitabo in illis, et inambulabo inter eos, et ero illorum Deus, et ipsi erunt mihi populus.
ወመኑ ዘይዴምር ታቦተ እግዚአብሔር ውስተ ቤተ ጣዖት አኮኑ ንሕነ ውእቱ ቤቱ ለእግዚአብሔር ሕያው በከመ ይቤ እግዚአብሔር «አነ አኀድር ኀቤሆሙ ወአንሶሱ ማእከሎሙ ወእከውኖሙ አምላኮሙ ወእሙንቱኒ ይከውኑኒ ሕዝብየ።»
What agreement does a temple of God have with idols? For you are a temple of the living God. Even as God said, “I will dwell in them and walk in them. I will be their God and they will be my people.”
6:17
Διὸ ἐξέλθατε ἐκ μέσου αὐτῶν καὶ ἀφορίσθητε, λέγει κύριος, καὶ ἀκαθάρτου μὴ ἅπτεσθε· κἀγὼ εἰσδέξομαι ὑμᾶς,
Propter quod exite de medio eorum, et separamini, dicit Dominus, et immundum ne tetigeritis :
ወበእንተ ዝንቱ ፃኡ እማእከሎሙ ወተፈለጡ እምኔሆሙ ይቤ እግዚአብሔር ወኢትቅረቡ ኀበ ርኩሳን ወአነ እትዌከፈክሙ።
Therefore “‘Come out from among them, and be separate,’ says the Lord. ‘Touch no unclean thing. I will receive you.
6:18
καὶ ἔσομαι ὑμῖν εἰς πατέρα, καὶ ὑμεῖς ἔσεσθέ μοι εἰς υἱοὺς καὶ θυγατέρας, λέγει κύριος παντοκράτωρ.
et ego recipiam vos : et ero vobis in patrem, et vos eritis mihi in filios et filias, dicit Dominus omnipotens.
«ወእከውነክሙ አባክሙ ወአንትሙኒ ትከውኑኒ ደቂቅየ ወአዋልድየ ይቤ እግዚአብሔር ዘኵሎ ይመልክ።»
I will be to you a Father. You will be to me sons and daughters,’ says the Lord Almighty.”
