< 2 Timothy 3 >

1 [You need to] realize that during the last days [MTY] [before Christ returns, evil people will make] it difficult [for believers to behave as they should].
Gido attin wode wurssethan asi mettiza wodey yaanayssa ne erra.
2 This is because [such evil] people will be habitually loving themselves and loving money. They will habitually boast [about themselves], they will be proud, and will often say bad things [about others. They] will disobey [their] parents. They will not be thankful, nor will they respect [anything that is good].
Asay bena dosizade gidana, miishshe siiqqizayta, ceeqqettizayta, benan otoranchata, caashshanchata, nena yelidayttas azazetonttayta, galatoonttaytane geeshshateth bayinddayta,
3 They will not [even] love their own family, nor agree with [anybody] (OR, [they never forgive anyone]). They will tell lies about people. They will not control what they say and do, nor allow anyone to control them. They will not love [anything that is] good.
Siiqqoy bayinddayta, atto gi maaronttayta, asa sunth morizayta, berkka bena naagonttayta, manxxa iita, loo7o miishshe dosonttayta,
4 They will (betray others/hand others over to their enemies) and act foolishly. They will be overly/very proud of themselves, and they will love to please themselves instead of loving God.
Kaadizayta, nagetontayta, coo mela otorettethan puurdayta, Xoossafe aaththidi loo7o deeth dosizayta gidana.
5 [And, although they will] pretend that they worship God, they will not let [God’s Spirit] work powerfully [in their lives]. Do not associate with such people (OR, Do not let such people join [your congregation]),
Ammaniza asi milatanaashin ammanos diza wollqqa kaadana. Heyta malatappe ne haakka.
6 because some such [people, even now], subtly/deceivingly persuade foolish women to let them come into their houses, and then they deceive those women [so that they control what those women think. These women] have been burdened with sins {have sinned very much} and they have been led to do {they do} the many [evil] things that they strongly desire to do.
Heytantti issi issi keeth kolxx gelidi daro deexxo nagaranine duumma duumma iita ammotetha garss gelidi heene ha qaaxxiza ammano laafa maaccashshata qaxxi oykkettes.
7 [Even though] they are always [wanting to] learn new things, they are never able to recognize what is true.
Heyta mala maaccashshati wursso wode tamareetese shin tuma eri erettena.
8 Just like Jannes and Jambres [long ago] very much opposed Moses, so also some [people] now oppose the true [message. Those] people think only what is evil. God rejects them [because they do not] believe [what is true].
Iyaneeseyine Iyanbbaaresey Muse bolla denddida mala haytikka istta qofay mooretin bees ammanope kunddida gish tumateth ixxettes.
9 Nevertheless, they will not continue to succeed, because most [HYP] people will understand clearly that such people are foolish, just like people also realized [clearly that Jannes and Jambres were foolish].
Gido attin istta qofay kuumena. Gasooykka Iyaneessane Iyambbarasse eeyateth asas qoonccida malakka hayta hanoykka wurssos qonccana.
10 But as for yourself, you have fully known what I have taught. You have known [and imitated] the way in which I conducted my life, [and] what I have been trying to do. [You have] trusted [God as] I have. You have been patient as I have been. [You have] loved people [as] I have, and [you have] endured [as you suffered like] I have [suffered].
Ne gidikko ta timirtteza, ta duussa, ta waana qofa, ta ammanoza, ta dandda7a, ta siiqqozane ta miinnotetha wurssa ne eraassa.
11 [You know how I endured many times when people] harmed me. [They] caused me to suffer at Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra [cities]. [But although they caused me to suffer], I endured it; and every time [they] did those things to me, the Lord rescued me.
Ta goodetethane ta waayeza anxxokiyan, iqoonyyonine lisxxirankka ta bolla gakkidayssa wurssa ta danddaidayssa ta goodetetha ne eraassa. Gidikkoka Goday hessa wurssofe tana ashshides.
12 (Indeed/You know that), for us [(inc)] who want to live (in a [godly manner/] a [manner that pleases God]), we will always be persecuted {there will always be people who will cause us to suffer} because we [have a close relationship with] Christ Jesus.
Tumappe Yesuss Kiristtoossa geeshsha wozinape ammani daana gizayti wurkka goodetizayta gidana.
13 Evil people (OR, And those) who deceive other people will (get worse/teach things that are more and more wrong). [Specifically, they will] deceive other people, and [those who hear them will] deceive others.
Iita baleththiza asati bees balettidi asa baleththishe iitatetha bolla iitateth gujji gujji baana.
14 But you, in contrast, must continue [to believe] what you have learned and (been assured of/firmly believe). [I know that you are confident/sure that it is true because] you know that you have learned it from all [of us who taught you] ([God’s truth/what is right]).
Ne gidikko kase ne tamarada erida ogen miinna. Hessa oonappe tamardakkone ne eraassa.
15 From [the time when you were] a child you have known the holy writings/Scriptures. [You now know that] they enabled you to become wise so that God saved you because of your believing in Christ Jesus.
Ne guutha naatethape ha7i gakkanaas Yesuss Kiristtoossa ammanon attottethi beettizayssane ciinccateth immiza geeshsha maxaafata lo7etha eraadasa.
16 God (inspired/put into men’s minds) everything [that is written] in the Scriptures {they [wrote] in the holy writings}, and those writings are all useful to teach [us what is true], to cause us to know [when we are] wrong and then (to correct us/to show us what we have done that is wrong), and to train/teach us to do what is right.
Geeshsha maxaafati wurikka Xoossa ayyanay kalethin xafetidaytanne as tamarssanas, hanqqanassine suurssanas qassekka xiillotetha ogen kaallethanas go7ettes.
17 What [is written] {they wrote} is useful to help us who [serve] God to be ready/prepared to do all that we should do. By means of it, we are equipped {God gives us what we need} in order to do every [kind of] good deeds.
Hessikka Xoossa asi lo7o ootho wurssos beessizade gidana malakko.
