1 Corinthians 4
1 So let a man think of us as Messiah’s servants and stewards of God’s mysteries.
Kanaafuu namni akka tajaajiltoota Kiristoosii fi akka warra icciitiin Waaqaa imaanaa itti kennameetti nu ilaaluu qaba.
2 Here, moreover, it is required of stewards that they be found faithful.
Warra imaanaan itti kenname sanas amanamoo taʼuutu irraa eegama.
3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you, or by a human court. Yes, I don’t even judge my own self.
Yoo isiniin yookaan nama kaaniin natti murame ani homaattuu hin lakkaaʼu; dhugumaan anuu ofitti hin muru.
4 For I know nothing against myself. Yet I am not justified by this, but he who judges me is the Lord.
Yaadni garaa koo qulqulluu dha; kun garuu qulqullina koo hin mirkaneessu. Kan natti muru Gooftaa dha.
5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each man will get his praise from God.
Kanaafuu isin utuu yeroon murteeffame sun hin gaʼin murtii tokko iyyuu hin kenninaa; hamma Gooftaan dhufutti eegaa. Inni waan dukkana keessatti dhokfame ifatti ni baasa; hawwii garaa namaas ni mulʼisa. Yeroo sana namni hundinuu Waaqa biraa galata ni argata.
6 Now these things, brothers, I have in a figure transferred to myself and Apollos for your sakes, that in us you might learn not to think beyond the things which are written, that none of you be puffed up against one another.
Egaa yaa obboloota, ani akka isin jechi, “Waan barreeffame irra hin darbin” jedhu sun maal jechuu akka taʼe nurraa barattaniif buʼaa keessaniif jedhee waan kana hunda Apholoosii fi ofii kootti fakkeesseera; kunis akka isin nama tokko isa kaan caalchiftanii hin koorreef.
7 For who makes you different? And what do you have that you didn’t receive? But if you did receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?
Eenyutu akka ati warra kaan caaltu si godhe? Wanni Waaqni siif hin kennin kan ati qabdu maal faatu jira? Erga siif kennamee immoo akka waan kennaa hin taʼiniitti maaliif boonta ree?
8 You are already filled. You have already become rich. You have come to reign without us. Yes, and I wish that you did reign, that we also might reign with you!
Amma isin waan barbaaddan hundumaa argattaniirtu! Sooromtaniirtus! Nurraa gargar baatanii mootota taataniirtu! Nus akka isin wajjin mootota taanuuf utuu isin mootota taatanii ani akkaman hawwa ture!
9 For I think that God has displayed us, the emissaries, last of all, like men sentenced to death. For we are made a spectacle to the world, both to angels and men.
Waaqni, nu ergamoota akka namoota duuti itti murtaaʼeetti waan dhuma hiriiraa nu taasise natti fakkaataatii. Nu addunyaa duratti, ergamootaa fi namoota durattis waan daawwatamu taaneerra.
10 We are fools for Messiah’s sake, but you are wise in Messiah. We are weak, but you are strong. You have honor, but we have dishonor.
Nu Kiristoosiif jennee gowwoota; isin garuu Kiristoosiin ogeeyyii dha! Nu dadhaboo dha; isin immoo jajjabeeyyii dha! Isin kabajamtoota; nu immoo tuffatamtoota!
11 Even to this present hour we hunger, thirst, are naked, are beaten, and have no certain dwelling place.
Hamma saʼaatii ammaatti ni beelofna; ni dheebonna; ni daarra; ni reebamna; mana jireenyaas hin qabnu.
12 We toil, working with our own hands. When people curse us, we bless. Being persecuted, we endure.
Harkuma keenyaan hojjechuudhaanis ni dadhabna. Yommuu abaaramnu ni eebbifna; yommuu ariʼatamnus ni obsina.
13 Being defamed, we entreat. We are made as the filth of the world, the dirt wiped off by all, even until now.
Yommuu arrabsamnu, waan gaarii deebifna; hamma yeroo kanaattis xurii lafaatii fi kosii addunyaa taaneerra.
14 I don’t write these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children.
Kanas isinii barreessuun koo akka ijoollee koo kanneen jaallatamaniitti isin gorsuudhaaf malee isin qaanessuuf miti.
15 For though you have ten thousand tutors in Messiah, you don’t have many fathers. For in Messiah Yeshua, I became your father through the Good News.
Isin yoo karaa Kiristoosiin guddiftoota kuma kudhan qabaattan iyyuu, abbootii baayʼee hin qabdan; ani Kiristoos Yesuusiin karaa wangeelaatiin abbaa keessan taʼeeraatii.
16 I beg you therefore, be imitators of me.
Kanaaf ani akka isin fakkeenya koo duukaa buutan isinan kadhadha.
17 Because of this I have sent Timothy to you, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, who will remind you of my ways which are in Messiah, even as I teach everywhere in every assembly.
Sababii kanaafis ani ilma koo isan jaalladhu, kan Gooftaattis amanamaa taʼe Xiimotewosin gara keessanitti ergeera. Innis haala jireenya koo kan ani Kiristoos Yesuusiin argadhe kan waan ani iddoo hundatti waldaa kiristaanaa hunda keessatti barsiisu wajjin deemu sana isin yaadachiisa.
18 Now some are puffed up, as though I were not coming to you.
Isin keessaa namoonni tokko tokko waan ani gara keessan hin dhufne seʼanii of tuulanii jiru.
19 But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord is willing. And I will know, not the word of those who are puffed up, but the power.
Yoo fedhii Waaqaa taʼe garuu ani dafee gara keessan nan dhufa; ergasii waan of tuultonni kunneen dubbatan qofa utuu hin taʼin humna isaan qabanis beekuu nan barbaada.
20 For God’s Kingdom is not in word, but in power.
Mootummaan Waaqaa humnaan malee dubbiidhaan miti.
21 What do you want? Shall I come to you with a rod, or in love and a spirit of gentleness?
Isin maal barbaaddu? Ani ulee qabadhee moo jaalalaa fi hafuura gad of qabuutiin gara keessan dhufa?
