1 Ximttoossa 4
1 Wode wurssetha bolla issi issi asay ammano aggidi baalethiza ayanatane iita ayana timirtte kaallanayssa xiillo ayanay qonccera yootes.
NOW the Spirit speaketh expresly, that in the latter days some will apostatise from the faith, giving heed to spirits of delusion, and doctrines of devils;
2 Hessa mala timirttey istta qofay bonqqo biratan xuugettida mala geellatethan dooccida qoodhepe qoommon haniza wordancha asatape yaana.
men who teach lies with hypocrisy; and have their own consciences cauterised;
3 He asati asay ekkontta malane gelontta mala diiggana. Ammanizaytine tuma shaakki eriza asay xoossay medhdhida kath galatarakka ekkizayti moontta mala digganane azazana.
prohibiting marriage, and enjoining abstinence from particular meats, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by the faithful, and those who acknowledge the truth.
4 Xoossi medhdhiday wurikka lo7o. Asi galatara ekkiko wora wodhdhizay issinakka baawa.
For every creature of God is good, and none to be rejected, if used with thanksgiving:
5 Wurikka Xoossa qaalanine woosan geeyana.
for it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
6 Hayssa ha azazooza ammaniza asa ne qoofisikko, ammano qaalanine ne ekkiida loo7o timirttezan miinada Yesuss Kiristtoossa loo7o oothancha gidanddassa.
If thou suggest these truths to the brethren, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and sound doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.
7 Xoossu bonchisontta go7ay bayindda hayssu7eppene cima maaccashshata hayssu7eppe haakkada tuma ayana oothos ne asatetha giiggissa.
But profane and antiquated fables reject, but exercise thyself unto godliness.
8 Asatetha asho ogen dosiisoy guutha wodes go7es shin tumu ayana duussas bena tamarssoy gidikko hayssa ha alamezassine buro yaana duussas ufayssi diza gish wurssos go7es.
For bodily exercise is of little advantage, but godliness is profitable for all things, having the promise of the life which now is, and of that which is to come.
9 Hayssi ha qaalay ammanettidayssane wurssi ekkanas beessiza qaalakko.
This is a faithful saying, and deserving all acceptance.
10 Nu hessas giidi dafettoossine daabuross. Hessikka asa wurssos harapekka ammanizaytas ashiza deyo Xoossan nu ufayss oothiza gishshaskko.
For therefore do we labour and are exposed to abuse, because we have hoped in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, especially of the faithful.
11 Hayta yoota azazanne tamarsa.
Announce and teach these things.
12 Ne yelagatetha oonikka kadhdhopo; gido attin ne hasa7an, ne duussan, siiqoon, ammanon, geeshshatethanine ammanizaytas loo7o leemuso gida.
Let no man despise thy youth; but be a pattern of the faithful, in discourse; in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
13 Ta he baana gakkanaas qaal nabbabanas, zoranasine tamarsanas miinna.
Till I come, apply to reading, to exhortation, to teaching.
14 Cimati ne bolla ba kushe woththi woosishin, sinththafe hananayssi nees immettida imotetha lep histta aggoofa.
Neglect not the gift which is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with imposition of the hands of the presbytery.
15 Asi wuri ne diichcha beeyana mala ha yoota lo7etha miinthada dandda7an pola.
Let these things be thy care; be wholly devoted to them; that thy progress may be evident to all men.
16 Ne duussa giishshine ne tamarsiza timirtezas naagetta, haytan miinna. Ne hessa oothiko nenane ne gizayssa siyizayta ashshana.
Take heed unto thyself, and to thy doctrine; abide in them: for so doing thou shalt both save thyself, and those who hear thee.
