1 Ximotiyoosa 1

1 Nuna ashshiya Xoossaaninne nu ufayssan naagiya Yesuus Kiristtoosan kiitettida, Yesuus Kiristtoosa hawaare gidida, Phawuloosappe,

Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to the commandment of God our Savior, and Christ Jesus our hope;

2 ammanon ta tuma na7a gidida Ximotiyoosas. Xoossaa nu Aawa, nu Godaa Kiristtoosa aadho keehatethay, maarotethaynne sarotethay new gido.

to Timothy, my true child in faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

3 Taani Maqedooniya bashe nena hadaridayssada, issi issi asati worddo timirttiya tamaarsseyssa ne diggana mela ne Efesoonan gam77ana mela koyays.

As I urged you when I was going into Macedonia, stay at Ephesus that you might command certain people not to teach a different doctrine,

4 Entti go77i baynna hayse odanne bantta kochcha taybuwa agganaada oda. Hessa melabay palama kaaletheesippe attin ammanon oosettiya Xoossaa oosuwas maaddenna.

neither to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which cause speculation, rather than God's stewardship, which is in faith—

5 Ha kiitaa huu7e qofay geeshsha wozanappe, lo77o kahappenne tuma ammanuwappe benttiya siiquwa denthethanaassa.

but the goal of this command is love, out of a pure heart and a good conscience and sincere faith;

6 Issi issi asati hayssa aggidi, pathonna odakko simmidosona.

from which things some, having missed the mark, have turned aside to vain talking;

7 Entti Xoossaa higgiya asttamaare gidanaw koyoosona. Shin entti ay odiyakko woykko tuma oothidi odeyssi i aybeekko erokkona.

desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say, nor about what they strongly affirm.

8 Asi besseyssada higgiyan go7ettiko higgey lo77o gideyssa eroos.

But we know that the law is good, if one uses it lawfully,

9 Issibaa akeekanaw koshshees. Higgey lo77o asaas medhettibeenna. Shin higgey, higge mentheyssata, worandzota, Xoosse yayyonnayssata, shemppo wodheyssata, nagaranchchota, geeshshatethi baynnayssata, tunata, hari attoshin bantta aayiw woykko aawa wodheyssata,

as knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their father or mother, for murderers,

10 laammeyssata, addey addera laymateyssata, ase bayzeyssata, worddanchchota, worddon caaqqeyssata, woykko tuma timirttiyara gayttonna ay ooso ootheyssata seeranaw keyis.

for the sexually immoral, for men who have sexual relations with men, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and for whatever else is contrary to sound teaching;

11 He timirttey bonchchonne anjjettida Xoossay taani awaajjana mela taw hadara immida Wonggelaa giddon de7ees.

according to the Good News of the glory of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.

12 Taani oothiya oosuwan taw wolqqaa immida nu Godaa Kiristtoos Yesuusa galatays. Tana ba oosuwas shuumidi he oosuwas besseyssa gidi taybida gisho iya galatays.

And I thank him who enabled me, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he counted me faithful, appointing me to service;

13 Taani hayssafe kase iya cayeyssa, iya yedetheyssanne metootheyssa gidikkoka taani hessa eronnanne ammanonna oothida gisho Xoossay tana maaris.

although I was before a blasphemer, a persecutor, and insolent. However, I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

14 Nu Goday ba aadho keehatethaa ta bolla gussidi, he aadho keehatethaara ammanonne siiqo Kiristtoos Yesuusa baggara taw immis.

The grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

15 “Kiristtoos Yesuusi nagaranchchota ashshanaw ha alamiya yis” giya qaalay ammantheyssanne asa ubbay ekkanaw besseyssa. Ubbaafe aadhdhida nagaranchchoy tana.

The saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.

16 Shin merinaa de7uwa ekkanaw iya ammaniyaa asaas taani leemiso gidana mela Yesuus Kiristtoosi daro dandda7is. Taw ubbaafe aadhdhida nagaranchchuwas Xoossay ba maarota darssis. (aiōnios g166)

However, for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first, Jesus Christ might display all his patience, for an example of those who were going to believe in him for everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)

17 Ayfen benttonnayssas, issi Xoossaas, hayqqonnayssas, merinaa Kawuwas, merinaappe merinaa gakkanaw galataynne bonchchoy gido. Amin7i. (aiōn g165)

Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

18 Ximotiyoosa, ta na7aw, kase nebaa nabeti odida qaala bolla eqqada ha kiitaa hadara new immays. Ne he qaala kaalliko lo77o olaa olettana.

This instruction I commit to you, my child Timothy, according to the prophecies which led the way to you, that by them you may wage the good warfare;

19 Ammanoynne lo77o kahi new de7o. Issoti issoti kaha dhayidi markkabey hobben dhayeyssada bantta ammanuwa dhayssidosona.

holding faith and a good conscience; which some having thrust away made a shipwreck concerning the faith;

20 Hessa hanidayssata giddon Hemeneyoosinne Iskkinddirey de7oosona. Entti tamaaridi Xoossaa cayeyssa aggana mela taani Xalahes enttana aatha immas.

of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I delivered to Satan, that they might be taught not to blaspheme.
