1 Ximotiyoosa 1
1 Nuna ashshiya Xoossaaninne nu ufayssan naagiya Yesuus Kiristtoosan kiitettida, Yesuus Kiristtoosa hawaare gidida, Phawuloosappe,
This letter comes from Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus appointed by the authority of God our Savior and Christ Jesus, who is our hope.
2 ammanon ta tuma na7a gidida Ximotiyoosas. Xoossaa nu Aawa, nu Godaa Kiristtoosa aadho keehatethay, maarotethaynne sarotethay new gido.
I'm sending it to you Timothy. You are my true son because of your trust in God. May you have 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.
When I was on my way to Macedonia I asked you to stay behind in Ephesus, so that you could speak with those who teach false ideas and insist that they stop.
4 Entti go77i baynna hayse odanne bantta kochcha taybuwa agganaada oda. Hessa melabay palama kaaletheesippe attin ammanon oosettiya Xoossaa oosuwas maaddenna.
They shouldn't concern themselves with legends and never-ending obsessions about ancestry. Such ideas only lead to pointless debates, instead of understanding God as we trust in him.
5 Ha kiitaa huu7e qofay geeshsha wozanappe, lo77o kahappenne tuma ammanuwappe benttiya siiquwa denthethanaassa.
The reason why I insist on this is so we may have love that comes from a pure heart, from a clear conscience and sincere trust in God.
6 Issi issi asati hayssa aggidi, pathonna odakko simmidosona.
Some have deviated from these things, and have ended up talking nonsense.
7 Entti Xoossaa higgiya asttamaare gidanaw koyoosona. Shin entti ay odiyakko woykko tuma oothidi odeyssi i aybeekko erokkona.
They have ambitions to be teachers of the law, but they have no idea what they're talking about or what they're so boldly announcing!
8 Asi besseyssada higgiyan go7ettiko higgey lo77o gideyssa eroos.
Now we recognize that the law is good if people use it properly.
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,
We also know that law isn't laid down for those who do what is good and right, but for those who are rebellious and ignore the law. It applies to people who have no use for God, who are sinful, who treat nothing as holy and are completely irreligious. It's for those who kill fathers and mothers, for murderers,
10 laammeyssata, addey addera laymateyssata, ase bayzeyssata, worddanchchota, worddon caaqqeyssata, woykko tuma timirttiyara gayttonna ay ooso ootheyssata seeranaw keyis.
for those who are sexually immoral, homosexuals, kidnappers, liars, false witnesses—and anything else that's opposed to good teachings
11 He timirttey bonchchonne anjjettida Xoossay taani awaajjana mela taw hadara immida Wonggelaa giddon de7ees.
as determined by the wonderful good news of our blessed God which he entrusted to me.
12 Taani oothiya oosuwan taw wolqqaa immida nu Godaa Kiristtoos Yesuusa galatays. Tana ba oosuwas shuumidi he oosuwas besseyssa gidi taybida gisho iya galatays.
I'm just so grateful to Christ Jesus our Lord for the strength he's given me, and that he considered me trustworthy, appointing me to work for him.
13 Taani hayssafe kase iya cayeyssa, iya yedetheyssanne metootheyssa gidikkoka taani hessa eronnanne ammanonna oothida gisho Xoossay tana maaris.
Even though I used to insult God, and persecuted and abused God's people, God showed me mercy because of my ignorance and unbelief.
14 Nu Goday ba aadho keehatethaa ta bolla gussidi, he aadho keehatethaara ammanonne siiqo Kiristtoos Yesuusa baggara taw immis.
Our Lord in his grace filled me to overflowing with trust and love that comes from Christ Jesus.
15 “Kiristtoos Yesuusi nagaranchchota ashshanaw ha alamiya yis” giya qaalay ammantheyssanne asa ubbay ekkanaw besseyssa. Ubbaafe aadhdhida nagaranchchoy tana.
You can trust this saying that everyone should accept: “Christ Jesus came to this world to save sinners,” and I'm the worst of them.
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)
For this reason I was shown mercy—since I'm the worst sinner, Jesus Christ could demonstrate his infinite patience as an example to those who choose to trust in him and gain eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
17 Ayfen benttonnayssas, issi Xoossaas, hayqqonnayssas, merinaa Kawuwas, merinaappe merinaa gakkanaw galataynne bonchchoy gido. Amin7i. (aiōn g165)
Honor and glory forever and ever to the eternal King, the immortal, invisible, and only God! 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.
These are the instructions I want to give to you, Timothy, my son, following the prophecies that brought you this far, so you can fight the good fight!
19 Ammanoynne lo77o kahi new de7o. Issoti issoti kaha dhayidi markkabey hobben dhayeyssada bantta ammanuwa dhayssidosona.
Keep on trusting God and make sure you have a clear conscience. Some have refused to do this and have shipwrecked their trust in God.
20 Hessa hanidayssata giddon Hemeneyoosinne Iskkinddirey de7oosona. Entti tamaaridi Xoossaa cayeyssa aggana mela taani Xalahes enttana aatha immas.
Hymenaeus and Alexander are such people, and I have “handed them over to Satan” to teach them not to misrepresent God.
