5:1
Οἴδαμεν γὰρ ὅτι ἐὰν ἡ ἐπίγειος ἡμῶν οἰκία τοῦ σκήνους καταλυθῇ, οἰκοδομὴν ἐκ θεοῦ ἔχομεν οἰκίαν ἀχειροποίητον αἰώνιον ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς.
Scimus enim quoniam si terrestris domus nostra hujus habitationis dissolvatur, quod aedificationem ex Deo habemus, domum non manufactam, aeternam in caelis.
ወነአምር ከመ ለእመሂ ተነሥተ ቤተ ማኅደርነ ዘበምድር ዘውእቱ ሥጋ ብነ ሕንጻ በኀበ እግዚአብሔር በሰማያት ዘኢገብሮ እደ ሰብእ።
For we know that if the earthly house of our tent is dissolved, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in the heavens.
5:2
καὶ γὰρ ἐν τούτῳ στενάζομεν, τὸ οἰκητήριον ἡμῶν τὸ ἐξ οὐρανοῦ ἐπενδύσασθαι ἐπιποθοῦντες,
Nam et in hoc ingemiscimus, habitationem nostram, quae de caelo est, superindui cupientes :
ወኪያሁ ንሴፎ ንልበስ ቤተነ ዘውስተ ሰማያት ዘበእንቲኣሁ ንሰርሕ።
For most certainly in this we groan, longing to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven,
5:3
εἴγε καὶ ἐνδυσάμενοι οὐ γυμνοὶ εὑρεθησόμεθα.
si tamen vestiti, non nudi inveniamur.
ወእምከመ ለበስናሁ ኢኮነ ዘንትረከብ ዕራቃቲነ።
if indeed being clothed, we will not be found naked.
5:4
καὶ γὰρ οἱ ὄντες ἐν τῷ σκήνει στενάζομεν βαρούμενοι, ἐφ’ ᾧ οὐ θέλομεν ἐκδύσασθαι ἀλλ’ ἐπενδύσασθαι, ἵνα καταποθῇ τὸ θνητὸν ὑπὸ τῆς ζωῆς.
Nam et qui sumus in hoc tabernaculo, ingemiscimus gravati : eo quod nolumus expoliari, sed supervestiri, ut absorbeatur quod mortale est, a vita.
እስመ እንዘሂ ሀለውነ ውስተ ዝንቱ ቤት ነኀዝን ፈድፋደ እምክበደ ዚኣሁ ወኢንፈቅድ ንሰለብ ዘእንበለ ከመ ንልበስ ካልአ መልዕልቴሁ ከመ ይሠጠም መዋቲ በሕይወት።
For indeed we who are in this tent do groan, being burdened, not that we desire to be unclothed, but that we desire to be clothed, that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.
5:5
ὁ δὲ κατεργασάμενος ἡμᾶς εἰς αὐτὸ τοῦτο θεός, ὁ δοὺς ἡμῖν τὸν ἀρραβῶνα τοῦ πνεύματος.
Qui autem efficit nos in hoc ipsum, Deus, qui dedit nobis pignus Spiritus.
ወውእቱ እግዚአብሔር ይረድአነ በዝንቱ ዘወሀበነ ዐረቦነ መንፈስ ቅዱስ ውስተ ልብነ።
Now he who made us for this very thing is God, who also gave to us the down payment of the Spirit.
5:6
θαρροῦντες οὖν πάντοτε καὶ εἰδότες ὅτι ἐνδημοῦντες ἐν τῷ σώματι ἐκδημοῦμεν ἀπὸ τοῦ κυρίου,
Audentes igitur semper, scientes quoniam dum sumus in corpore, peregrinamur a Domino
ተአመኑ እንከ ወአጥብዑ በኵሉ ጊዜ ወተአምሩ እንከ ከመ እንግዳ አንትሙ ውስተ ዝንቱ ሥጋ ወትነግዱ እምነፍስትክሙ ወተሐውሩ ኀበ እግዚእነ።
Therefore we are always confident and know that while we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord;
5:7
διὰ πίστεως γὰρ περιπατοῦμεν οὐ διὰ εἴδους
(per fidem enim ambulamus, et non per speciem) :
እስመ በአሚን ነሐውር ወአኮ በአድልዎ።
for we walk by faith, not by sight.
5:8
θαρροῦμεν δὲ καὶ εὐδοκοῦμεν μᾶλλον ἐκδημῆσαι ἐκ τοῦ σώματος καὶ ἐνδημῆσαι πρὸς τὸν κύριον.
audemus autem, et bonam voluntatem habemus magis peregrinari a corpore, et praesentes esse ad Dominum.
ወፈድፋደ ንትአመን ወንትፌሣሕ እስመ ወፂአነ እምነፍስትነ ነሐውር ኀቤሁ ወናሠምሮ ለእግዚእነ።
We are courageous, I say, and are willing rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord.
5:9
διὸ καὶ φιλοτιμούμεθα, εἴτε ἐνδημοῦντες εἴτε ἐκδημοῦντες, εὐάρεστοι αὐτῷ εἶναι.
Et ideo contendimus, sive absentes, sive praesentes, placere illi.
ወይእዜኒ ናእኵቶ እመኒ ነገድነ ወእመኒ ሀሎነ ሎቱ ዳእሙ ናድሉ በምግባሪነ።
Therefore also we make it our aim, whether at home or absent, to be well pleasing to him.
5:10
τοὺς γὰρ πάντας ἡμᾶς φανερωθῆναι δεῖ ἔμπροσθεν τοῦ βήματος τοῦ Χριστοῦ, ἵνα κομίσηται ἕκαστος τὰ διὰ τοῦ σώματος πρὸς ἃ ἔπραξεν, εἴτε ἀγαθὸν εἴτε φαῦλον.
Omnes enim nos manifestari oportet ante tribunal Christi, ut referat unusquisque propria corporis, prout gessit, sive bonum, sive malum.
እስመ ሀለወነ ኵልነ ንቁም ቅድመ መንበረ ምኵናኑ ለክርስቶስ ከመ ንትፈደይ በከመ ገበርነ በሥጋነ እመኒ ሠናየ ወእመኒ እኩየ።
For we must all be revealed before the judgment seat of Christ that each one may receive the things in the body according to what he has done, whether good or bad.
5:11
Εἰδότες οὖν τὸν φόβον τοῦ κυρίου ἀνθρώπους πείθομεν, θεῷ δὲ πεφανερώμεθα· ἐλπίζω δὲ καὶ ἐν ταῖς συνειδήσεσιν ὑμῶν πεφανερῶσθαι.
Scientes ergo timorem Domini, hominibus suademus, Deo autem manifesti sumus. Spero autem et in conscientiis vestris manifestos nos esse.
ወእንበይነ ዘነአምር ጽድቀ እግዚአብሔር ወፈሪሆቶ ናአምን ሰብአ ለእግዚአብሔርሰ ንሕነ ክሡታን ሎቱ ወንትአመን ከመሂ ንትከሠት በልብክሙ።
Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we persuade men, but we are revealed to God, and I hope that we are revealed also in your consciences.
5:12
οὐ γὰρ πάλιν ἑαυτοὺς συνιστάνομεν ὑμῖν, ἀλλὰ ἀφορμὴν διδόντες ὑμῖν καυχήματος ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν, ἵνα ἔχητε πρὸς τοὺς ἐν προσώπῳ καυχωμένους καὶ μὴ ἐν καρδίᾳ.
Non iterum commendamus nos vobis, sed occasionem damus vobis gloriandi pro nobis : ut habeatis ad eos qui in facie gloriantur, et non in corde.
ወአኮ ዘንዌድስ ካዕበ ርእሰነ በዝንቱ በኀቤክሙ ወዳእሙ ንሁበክሙ ምክንያተ ትጽንዑ በዘትትሜክሑ ብነ አንትሙኒ ከማነ ከመ ይኩንክሙ ለኀበ እለ ይትሜክሑ ለገጽ ወአኮ ለልብ።
For we are not commending ourselves to you again, but speak as giving you occasion of boasting on our behalf, that you may have something to answer those who boast in appearance and not in heart.
5:13
εἴτε γὰρ ἐξέστημεν, θεῷ· εἴτε σωφρονοῦμεν, ὑμῖν.
Sive enim mente excedimus Deo : sive sobrii sumus, vobis.
እስመ ንሕነሰ ለእመኒ ኮነ አብዳነ እበድነ ለእግዚአብሔር ወእመኒ ኮነ ጠቢባነ ጥበብነ ለክሙ።
For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God. Or if we are of sober mind, it is for you.
5:14
ἡ γὰρ ἀγάπη τοῦ Χριστοῦ συνέχει ἡμᾶς,
Caritas enim Christi urget nos : aestimantes hoc, quoniam si unus pro omnibus mortuus est, ergo omnes mortui sunt :
እስመ ፍቅረ ክርስቶስ ያጌብረነ ናጥብዕ ውስተ ዝንቱ ኅሊና እስመ አሐዱ ሞተ ቤዛ ኵሉ በዘወድአ ሞተ ኵሉ።
For the love of Christ compels us; because we judge thus: that one died for all, therefore all died.
5:15
κρίναντας τοῦτο, ὅτι εἷς ὑπὲρ πάντων ἀπέθανεν· ἄρα οἱ πάντες ἀπέθανον· καὶ ὑπὲρ πάντων ἀπέθανεν ἵνα οἱ ζῶντες μηκέτι ἑαυτοῖς ζῶσιν ἀλλὰ τῷ ὑπὲρ αὐτῶν ἀποθανόντι καὶ ἐγερθέντι.
et pro omnibus mortuus est Christus : ut, et qui vivunt, jam non sibi vivant, sed ei qui pro ipsis mortuus est et resurrexit.
ውእቱ ሞተ በእንተ ኵሉ ከመ እለሂ የሐይዉ አኮ ለርእሶሙ ዘየሐይዉ ዘእንበለ ለዝኩ ዘበእንቲኣሆሙ ሞተሂ ወሐይወሂ።
He died for all, that those who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who for their sakes died and rose again.
5:16
ὥστε ἡμεῖς ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν οὐδένα οἴδαμεν κατὰ σάρκα· εἰ καὶ ἐγνώκαμεν κατὰ σάρκα Χριστόν, ἀλλὰ νῦν οὐκέτι γινώσκομεν.
Itaque nos ex hoc neminem novimus secundum carnem. Et si cognovimus secundum carnem Christum, sed nunc jam non novimus.
ወይእዜሰ አልቦ ዘነአምሮ በሥጋ ወእመኒ አእመርናሁ ለክርስቶስ በሥጋ እምይእዜሰ አልቦ ዘነአምሮ እንከ።
Therefore we know no one according to the flesh from now on. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know him so no more.
5:17
ὥστε εἴ τις ἐν Χριστῷ, καινὴ κτίσις· τὰ ἀρχαῖα παρῆλθεν, ἰδοὺ γέγονεν καινά·
Si qua ergo in Christo nova creatura, vetera transierunt : ecce facta sunt omnia nova.
ወይእዜሰ በክርስቶስ ተሐደሰ ኵሉ ዘኮነ ወኀለፈ ዘትካት ወናሁ ኮነ ሐዲሰ ኵሉ።
Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new.
5:18
τὰ δὲ πάντα ἐκ τοῦ θεοῦ τοῦ καταλλάξαντος ἡμᾶς ἑαυτῷ διὰ Χριστοῦ καὶ δόντος ἡμῖν τὴν διακονίαν τῆς καταλλαγῆς,
Omnia autem ex Deo, qui nos reconciliavit sibi per Christum : et dedit nobis ministerium reconciliationis,
ወኵሉሰ እምኀበ እግዚአብሔር ዘአቅረበነ ኀቤሁ በክርስቶስ ወወሀበነ መልእክተ ሥምረቱ።
But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ, and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation;
5:19
ὡς ὅτι θεὸς ἦν ἐν Χριστῷ κόσμον καταλλάσσων ἑαυτῷ, μὴ λογιζόμενος αὐτοῖς τὰ παραπτώματα αὐτῶν, καὶ θέμενος ἐν ἡμῖν τὸν λόγον τῆς καταλλαγῆς.
quoniam quidem Deus erat in Christo mundum reconcilians sibi, non reputans illis delicta ipsorum, et posuit in nobis verbum reconciliationis.
እስመ ተዋለጠ እግዚአብሔር ዓለመ በክርስቶስ አናሕስዮ ኀጢአቶሙ ወኢነጺሮ ጌጋዮሙ ወረሰየ ላዕሌነ ቃለ ሥምረቱ ወወሀበነ መልእክተ ሣህሉ።
namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses, and having committed to us the word of reconciliation.
5:20
ὑπὲρ Χριστοῦ οὖν πρεσβεύομεν ὡς τοῦ θεοῦ παρακαλοῦντος δι’ ἡμῶν· δεόμεθα ὑπὲρ Χριστοῦ, καταλλάγητε τῷ θεῷ.
Pro Christo ergo legatione fungimur, tamquam Deo exhortante per nos. Obsecramus pro Christo, reconciliamini Deo.
ወንሕነሰ ንተነብል በአምሳለ ክርስቶስ ወይሁበክሙ እግዚአብሔር ፍሥሓ በላዕሌነ ወንስእለክሙ በክርስቶስ ከመ ታሥምርዎ ለእግዚአብሔር።
We are therefore ambassadors on behalf of Christ, as though God were entreating by us: we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.
5:21
τὸν μὴ γνόντα ἁμαρτίαν ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν ἁμαρτίαν ἐποίησεν, ἵνα ἡμεῖς γενώμεθα δικαιοσύνη θεοῦ ἐν αὐτῷ.
Eum, qui non noverat peccatum, pro nobis peccatum fecit, ut nos efficeremur justitia Dei in ipso.
እስመ ዘኢየአምር ኀጢአተ ረሰየ ርእሶ ኃጥአ በእንቲኣነ ከመ ኪያነ ያጽድቀነ ለእግዚአብሔር።
For him who knew no sin he made to be sin on our behalf, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
