2:1

ወዘንተ እንከ መከርኩ በነፍስየ ኢይምጻእ ትኩዝየ ኀቤክሙ።

But I determined this for myself, that I would not come to you again in sorrow.

我自己定了主意再到你們那裏去，必須大家沒有憂愁。

2:2

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?

倘若我叫你們憂愁，除了我叫那憂愁的人以外，誰能叫我快樂呢？

2:3

ወዘኒ ዘጸሐፍኩ ለክሙ ከመ መጺእየ ኢይርከበኒ ኀዘን በዘሀለወኒ እትፌሣሕ ተአሚንየ በኵልክሙ ከመ ፍሥሓ ዚኣየ ዘኵልክሙ ውእቱ።

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.

我曾把這事寫給你們，恐怕我到的時候，應該叫我快樂的那些人，反倒叫我憂愁。我也深信，你們眾人都以我的快樂為自己的快樂。

2:4

እስመ እምነ ብዙኅ ሕማም ወኀዘነ ልብ ጸሐፍኩ ለክሙ ዘንተ በብዙኅ አንብዕ ወአኮሰ ከመ ትተክዙ ዳእሙ ከመ ታእምሩ አፍቅሮትየ ከመ ፈድፋደ አፈቅረክሙ።

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.

我先前心裏難過痛苦，多多地流淚，寫信給你們，不是叫你們憂愁，乃是叫你們知道我格外地疼愛你們。

2:5

ወዘኒ አተከዘኒ አኮ ኪያየ ባሕቲቶ ዘያቴክዝ ዳእሙ ኵልክሙ ዘእንበለ አሐዱ ኅብር እምኔክሙ ወይእዜኒ ኢያከብድ ቃልየ ላዕሌክሙ።

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.

若有叫人憂愁的，他不但叫我憂愁，也是叫你們眾人有幾分憂愁。我說幾分，恐怕說得太重。

2:6

ተአክሎ ለዘከመዝ ዛቲ ተግሣጽ እንተ ረከበቶ እምብዙኃን።

This punishment which was inflicted by the many is sufficient for such a one;

這樣的人受了眾人的責罰也就夠了，

2:7

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.

倒不如赦免他，安慰他，免得他憂愁太過，甚至沉淪了。

2:8

ወበእንተዝ አስተበቍዐክሙ አጽንዑ ተፋቅሮ ምስሌሁ።

Therefore I beg you to confirm your love toward him.

所以我勸你們，要向他顯出堅定不移的愛心來。

2:9

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.

為此我先前也寫信給你們，要試驗你們，看你們凡事順從不順從。
