¹Laakiin waxaan aniga qudhaydu goostay inaanan haddana caloolxumo idiinla imanin.

¹And I decided this to myself, not again to come in sorrow unto you,

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

²for if I make you sorry, then who is he who is making me glad, except he who is made sorry by me?

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

³and I wrote to you this same thing, that having come, I may not have sorrow from them of whom it behoved me to have joy, having confidence in you all, that my joy is of you all,

⁴Waayo, 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.

⁴for out of much tribulation and pressure of heart I wrote to you through many tears, not that ye might be made sorry, but that ye might know the love that I have more abundantly toward you.

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

⁵And if any one hath caused sorrow, he hath not caused sorrow to me, but in part, that I may not burden you all;

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

⁶sufficient to such a one is this punishment, that [is] by the more part,

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

⁷so that, on the contrary, [it is] rather for you to forgive and to comfort, lest by over abundant sorrow such a one may be swallowed up;

⁸Sidaa daraaddeed waxaan idinka baryayaa inaad jacaylkiinna u caddaysaan isaga.

⁸wherefore, I call upon you to confirm love to him,

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

⁹for, for this also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether in regard to all things ye are obedient.

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

¹⁰And to whom ye forgive anything — I also; for I also, if I have forgiven anything, to whom I have forgiven [it], because of you — in the person of Christ — [I forgive it,]

¹¹inaan Shayddaan inaga faa'iidaysan, waayo, innagu ma nihin kuwo jaahil ka ah xeeladdiisa.

¹¹that we may not be over-reached by the Adversary, for of his devices we are not ignorant.

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

¹²And having come to Troas for the good news of the Christ, and a door to me having been opened in the Lord,

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

¹³I have not had rest to my spirit, on my not finding Titus my brother, but having taken leave of them, I went forth to Macedonia;

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

¹⁴and to God [are] thanks, who at all times is leading us in triumph in the Christ, and the fragrance of His knowledge He is manifesting through us in every place,

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

¹⁵because of Christ a sweet fragrance we are to God, in those being saved, and in those being lost;

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

¹⁶to the one, indeed, a fragrance of death to death, and to the other, a fragrance of life to life; and for these things who is sufficient?

¹⁷Waayo, 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.

¹⁷for we are not as the many, adulterating the word of God, but as of sincerity — but as of God; in the presence of God, in Christ we do speak.
