Filphisiyuusa 4
1 Ta ishato, ta doseyssato, ta laamoteyssato, tana ufaysseyssato, tana gitayeyssato hiza Godan minnidi eqqite.
So then, my dear Brothers, whom I am longing to see — you who are my joy and my crown, stand fast in union with the Lord, dear friends.
2 Ewoodinne Sinxiika, hintte nam77ay, issi qofan michchida Godan daanada taani hinttena zorays.
I entreat Euodia, and I entreat Syntyche, to live in harmony, in union with the Lord;
3 Taara oothiya ammantheysso, neeni ha maccasata maaddana mela ta nena woossays. Ha maccasati taara, Qeleminxoosaranne entta sunthay Xoossaa de7o maxaafan xaafettida haratara issife Wonggelaa ubba bessaa gathanaw daaburidosona.
yes, and I ask you, my true comrade, to help them, remembering that they toiled by my side in spreading the Good News; and so, too, did Clement and my other fellow-workers, whose names are ‘in the Book of Life.’
4 Godaara hintte de7iya de7uwan ubba wode ufayttite. Taani hessa gujjadakka odays; ufayttite.
All joy be yours at all times in your union with the Lord. Again I repeat — All joy be yours.
5 Asa ubbay hintte ashkketethaa ero; Goday matan yaana.
Let your forbearing spirit be plain to every one. The Lord is near.
6 Xoossaa hintte woossiya wode ubban iya galatishe, hinttena koshshiyaba ubbaas woossiteppe attin aybibaaskka hirggofite.
Do not be anxious about anything; but under all circumstances, by prayer and entreaty joined with thanksgiving, make your needs known to God.
7 Asa eratetha ubbaafe aadhdhiya Xoossaa sarotethay, hintte wozanaanne hintte qofaa Godaa Yesuus Kiristtoosa baggara naagana.
Then the Peace of God, which is beyond all human understanding, will stand guard over your hearts and thoughts, through your union with Christ Jesus.
8 Wurssethan, ta ishato, hintte wozanan lo77obaanne galatisiyabaa qoppite. Tuma gidiyabaa ubbaa, bonchchoba ubbaa, qoho gidonnaba ubbaa, geeshshaba ubbaa, siiqobaa ubbaanne ufayssiyaba ubbaa qoppite.
In conclusion, Brothers, wherever you find anything true or honourable, righteous or pure, loveable or praiseworthy, or if ‘virtue’ and ‘honour’ have any meaning, there let your thoughts dwell.
9 Hintte taappe tamaaridabaa, ekkidabaa, si7idabaanne be7idabaa ubbaa oothite. Sarotethaa immiya Xoossay hinttera issife gidana.
All that you learned and received and heard and saw in me put into practice continually; and then God, the giver of peace, will be with you.
10 Daro wodeppe guye, hintte tabaa zaaridi qoppanaw doomida gisho taani Godan daro ufayttays. Hessa guussay, taw qoppanaw hinttew injjetonna ixxidayssafe attin taw qofaa aggibeeketa.
It was a matter of great joy to me, as one in union with the Lord, that at length your interest in me had revived. The interest indeed you had, but not the opportunity.
11 Taani hessa tana metida gisho giikke; taw de7iyabay gidana guussu tamaaras.
Do not think that I am saying this under the pressure of want. For I, however I am placed, have learned to be independent of circumstances.
12 Taani metootettidi de7iya duussi erays; qassi durettidi de7iya duussika erays. Awun gidin qassi ay wodekka taani kalonne kosha, pacenne palaha tamaaras.
I know how to face humble circumstances, and I know how to face prosperity. Into all and every human experience I have been initiated — into plenty and hunger, into prosperity and want.
13 Kiristtoosi taw immiya wolqqan ubbabaa oothanaw dandda7ays.
I can do everything in the strength of him who makes me strong!
14 Gidikkoka, hintte ta metuwa taara ekkidayssan lo77o oothideta.
Yet you have acted nobly in sharing my troubles.
15 Filphisiyuusa asato, Wonggelaa koyro odanaw taani Maqedooniyappe keyaa wode immiyabankka ekkiyabankka hintte woosa keethaafe attin hari tana maaddiboonayssa hintte ereeta.
And you at Philippi know, as well as I, that in the early days of the Good News — at the time when I had just left Macedonia — no Church, with the one exception of yourselves, had anything to do with me as far as giving and receiving are concerned.
16 Tana Teselonqen metoy gakkida wodekka tana zaari zaaridi maaddideta.
Indeed, even while I was still in Thessalonica, you sent more than once to relieve my wants.
17 Taani, hinttefe imota ekkanaw koyada gidonnashin, imoppe yaa anjjuwaa hintte ekkana melassa.
It is not that I am anxious for your gifts, but I am anxious to see the abundant return that will be placed to your account. I have enough of everything, and to spare.
18 Taani, hintte immida ubbaanne gididi palaheyssa ekkas. Hintte yeddida ubbaa Ephphaafiraditusappe ekkas; koshshiyaba ubbay taw de7ees. Hintte taw yeddida imoy Xoossaas sawo tonggu giya, I dosiya, I ufayttiya yarshsho mela.
My wants are fully satisfied, now that I have received from Epaphroditus the gifts which you sent me — the sweet fragrance of a sacrifice acceptable and pleasing to God.
19 Ta Xoossay ba bonchcho duretethaafe, Kiristtoos Yesuusa baggara hinttew koshshiyaba ubbaa immana.
And my God, out of the greatness of his wealth, will, in glory, fully satisfy your every need, through your union with Christ Jesus.
To him, our God and Father, be ascribed all glory for every and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
21 Kiristtoos Yesuusa baggara Xoossabaa gidida ubbaa saro giite. Taara de7iya ishati hinttena saro goosona.
Give my greeting to every one of the People of Christ Jesus. The Brothers who are with me send your their greetings.
22 Xoossabaa gidida asa ubbay, ubbaafe aathidi Kawuwa Qeesare keethan de7eyssati hinttena saro goosona.
All Christ’s People here, and especially those who belong to the Emperor’s household, send theirs.
23 Godaa Yesuus Kiristtoosa aadho keehatethay hinttera gido.
May the blessing of the Lord Jesus Christ rest on your souls.
