1 Phexiroosa 5
1 Hiza, woosa keethaa cimatara cima gididayssi, Kiristtoosa waayiya markkatteysinne qonccanaw de7iya bonchchuwa shaakettanaw de7iya taani, hintte giddon de7iya cimata zorays.
THE presbyters among you I exhort, who am a co-presbyter and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and a partaker of the glory which shall be revealed:
2 Hintte aawatethaafe garssan de7iya Xoossaa wudiya heemmite. Xoossay koyeyssada dosanaappe attin un77ettidi heemmofite. Qassi miishe koshshan gidonnashin, haggaazanaw de7iya lo77o qofan heemmite.
feed the flock of God which is among you, exercising your pastoral office not of necessity, but of choice, not for base gain, but with alacrity of mind;
3 Hintte aawatethaafe garssan de7iya wudiyas leemiso giditeppe attin godatoppite.
not as domineering over your allotted congregations, but as being examples of the flock.
4 Heemmeyssata halaqay qoncciya wode qolettonna bonchcho kallachcha hintte ekkana.
And when the arch Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that will never fade away.
5 Hessadakka, yalagato, cimatas haarettite. Hintte issoy issuwas ashkke gidite. Geeshsha Maxaafan, “Xoossay otoranchchota ixxees, shin ashkketas aadho keehatethaa immees” yaagees.
In like manner, ye who are younger persons, be in subjection to your elders: but all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed from head to foot with humility: for God sets himself in opposition to the proud, but he giveth grace to the lowly.
6 Xoossay ba wode hinttena bonchchana mela wolqqaama Xoossaa kusheppe garssan hinttena kawushshite.
Humble yourselves therefore beneath the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due season:
7 I hinttew qoppiya gisho hinttena hirggisiya ubbaa iya bolla yeggite.
casting all your anxiety upon him; for he careth for you.
8 Hintte morkkey Xalahey, mittiyabaa koyidi, gaammoda gudishe hintte matara yuuya gisho hinttena haaritenne barkkite.
Be sober, be vigilant; for your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, prowleth around, seeking whom he may devour:
9 Alamen de7iya hintte ishati hessada waaye ekkeyssa eridi, ammanon minnidi, Xalahiyara eqettite.
against whom stand fast, firm in the faith, knowing that the very same sufferings are fully endured by the brotherhood which is in the world.
10 Ba merinaa bonchchuwas Kiristtoos Yesuusa baggara hinttena xeegida aadho keehatetha ubbaa Xoossay, guutha wodes hintte waayettidappe guye, I ba huu7en hinttena shiishana, katisana, minthidi essana, xaalisana. (aiōnios g166)
But the God of all grace, who hath called us to his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, when ye have suffered a little while, himself perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. (aiōnios g166)
To him be glory and might for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
12 Ammanettida ishaa gada ta ekkiya Sillaase baggara ha dabddaabbiya hinttew qanthan xaafas. Ta hessa hinttew xaafiday, hinttena zoranawunne Xoossaa aadho keehatethay tuma gideyssa markkattanaassa. He aadho keehatethan minnidi eqqite.
By Silvanus, a faithful brother as I think, I have written to you a few words, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God wherein ye are standing fast.
13 Hinttera issife doorettida Baabiloonen de7iya woosa keetha asaynne ta na7aa Marqqoosi hinttena, “Saro saro” yaagees.
She who is co-elect at Babylon, saluteth you, and my son Mark.
14 Siiqo yeeretetha yeerettishe, issoy issuwa sarothite. Kiristtoosan de7iya hintte ubbaas saroy gido. Amin7i.
Salute one another with a kiss of love. Peace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
