1 Qorontos 3
1 Yaa obboloota, ani akka namoota foonii warra Kiristoositti daaʼimman taataniitti malee akka namoota Hafuuraatti isinitti dubbachuu hin dandeenye.
As for me, brothers, I could not talk to you as spiritual men, but as to creatures of flesh, mere babes in Christ.
2 Waan isin nyaata jabaa nyaachuu hin gaʼiniif ani aannan isiniif kenne malee nyaata cimaa isinii hin kennine. Dhugumaan isin amma iyyuu nyaachuu hin dandeenye.
I fed you milk, not meat; for you were unable to bear it.
3 Isin amma iyyuu nama foonii ti. Sababii hinaaffaa fi wal qoccoluun isin gidduu jiruuf isin nama foonii mitii? Akkuma namoota kaaniitti jiraattu mitii?
You are not able even now, for you are still unspiritual. While there is among you jealousy and strife, are you not still unspiritual, and behaving like worldlings?
4 Namni tokko, “Ani kan Phaawulos” jedhee, inni kaan immoo, “Ani kan Apholoos” yoo jedhe isin namuma qofa mitii ree?
When one says, "I follow Paul," and another, "I follow Apollos," are you not mere worldlings?
5 Egaa Apholoos eenyu? Phaawulosis eenyu? Isaan warra akkuma hojii Gooftaan tokkoo tokkoo isaaniitiif kenneetti tajaajilanii dha; isin immoo karaa isaaniitiin amantan.
What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Just ministers through whom you have believed, and each doing the work that the Lord gave him.
6 Ani nan dhaabe; Apholoos bishaan obaase; Waaqni garuu ni guddise.
I planted, Apollos watered, but God made the seed grow.
7 Kanaafuu Waaqa isa guddisu sana malee namichi dhaabu yookaan inni bishaan obaasu sun homaa miti.
So neither is he who planted anything, nor he who watered, but God alone, who is making the seed grow.
8 Inni dhaabus, inni bishaan obaasus tokkuma; tokkoon tokkoon isaaniis akkuma dadhabbii isaaniitti gatii ni argatu.
Now, though he who plants and he who waters are one, each will receive his own reward, according to his own service.
9 Nu warra Waaqa wajjin hojjennuu dha; isin lafa qotiisaa Waaqaa ti; ijaarsa Waaqaatis.
For we are God’s fellow workers; and you are God’s field, you are God’s building.
10 Anis ayyaana Waaqni naa kenneen akkuma ogeessa ijaarsaa tokkootti hundee buuseera; namni kaan immoo isa irratti ijaaraa jira. Garuu tokkoon tokkoon namaa akkamitti akka ijaaru of eeggachuu qaba.
According to the grace of God vouchsafed me, like a skillful master- builder, I have laid a foundation; but another will be building upon it. Let each take heed how he builds on it.
11 Namni tokko iyyuu hundee duraan buufame sana malee kan biraa buusuu hin dandaʼuutii; hundeen sunis Yesuus Kiristoos.
The foundation is already laid - Jesus Christ - and no man can lay another.
12 Namni kam iyyuu yoo hundee sana irratti warqeen, meetiin, dhagaa gatii guddaatiin, mukaan, citaan yookaan hoffaan ijaare,
On that foundation, if a man proceeds to build gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble, each man’s work will be made manifest.
13 guyyaan sun waan ifatti isa baasuuf hojiin isaa maal akka taʼe ni beekama. Innis ibiddaan ifatti baafama; ibiddi sunis qulqullina hojii nama hundaa ni qora.
The Day will disclose it, for it dawns in fire, and the fire will test each man’s work, of what quality it is.
14 Yoo wanni inni ijaare utuu hin gubatin hafeef inni gatii isaa ni argata.
If any man’s work - the building he has made - stands the test, he will be rewarded.
15 Namni hojiin isaa jalaa gubate kam iyyuu gatii isaa ni dhaba; inni mataan isaa garuu ni oolfama; taʼus akka nama ibidda keessa darbeetti oolfama.
If any man’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, as it were through the flames.
16 Isin akka mana qulqullummaa Waaqaa taatanii fi akka Hafuurri Waaqaa isin keessa jiraatu hin beektanii?
Do you not know what you are God’s sanctuary, and that the Spirit of God is dwelling within you?
17 Eenyu iyyuu yoo mana qulqullummaa Waaqaa balleesse, Waaqni isa ni balleessa; manni qulqullummaa Waaqaa qulqulluudhaatii; manni qulqullummaa sunis isin.
If any one tear down God’s sanctuary, God will tear him down; for the sanctuary of God is holy, and that is what you are.
18 Eenyu iyyuu of hin gowwoomsin. Isin keessaa namni tokko yoo addunyaa kana irratti ogeessa of seʼe, inni akka ogeessa taʼuuf gowwaa haa taʼu. (aiōn g165)
Let no one deceive himself. If any one of you supposes that he is wise in the philosophy of the present age, let him become foolish, so that he may be wise. (aiōn g165)
19 Ogummaan addunyaa kanaa fuula Waaqaa duratti gowwummaadhaatii. Kunis isa, “Inni ogeeyyii haxxummaa isaaniitiin qaba” jedhamee barreeffamee dha.
For the philosophy of this world is foolishness in God’s sight. It is written, He snares the wise in their own craftiness,
20 Akkasumas, “Gooftaan akka yaadni ogeeyyii faayidaa hin qabne ni beeka” jedhameera.
and again, The Lord knows the reasonings of the wise, how futile they are.
21 Kanaafuu eenyu iyyuu namaan hin booniin! Wanni hundinuu keessaniitii;
So let no one make boast in men. For all things are yours;
22 Phaawulosis taʼu Apholoos yookaan Keefaan yookaan addunyaan yookaan jireenyi yookaan duuti yookaan wanti amma jirus taʼu wanti dhufu hundinuu keessan;
Paul, Apollos, Cephas, the world, life, death, things present or things to come; all things are yours;
23 isin kan Kiristoos; Kiristoos immoo kan Waaqaa ti.
and you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s.
