1 Qorontos 4
1 Kanaafuu namni akka tajaajiltoota Kiristoosii fi akka warra icciitiin Waaqaa imaanaa itti kennameetti nu ilaaluu qaba.
LET a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.
2 Warra imaanaan itti kenname sanas amanamoo taʼuutu irraa eegama.
Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.
3 Yoo isiniin yookaan nama kaaniin natti murame ani homaattuu hin lakkaaʼu; dhugumaan anuu ofitti hin muru.
But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man’s judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self.
4 Yaadni garaa koo qulqulluu dha; kun garuu qulqullina koo hin mirkaneessu. Kan natti muru Gooftaa dha.
For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord.
5 Kanaafuu isin utuu yeroon murteeffame sun hin gaʼin murtii tokko iyyuu hin kenninaa; hamma Gooftaan dhufutti eegaa. Inni waan dukkana keessatti dhokfame ifatti ni baasa; hawwii garaa namaas ni mulʼisa. Yeroo sana namni hundinuu Waaqa biraa galata ni argata.
Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.
6 Egaa yaa obboloota, ani akka isin jechi, “Waan barreeffame irra hin darbin” jedhu sun maal jechuu akka taʼe nurraa barattaniif buʼaa keessaniif jedhee waan kana hunda Apholoosii fi ofii kootti fakkeesseera; kunis akka isin nama tokko isa kaan caalchiftanii hin koorreef.
And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another.
7 Eenyutu akka ati warra kaan caaltu si godhe? Wanni Waaqni siif hin kennin kan ati qabdu maal faatu jira? Erga siif kennamee immoo akka waan kennaa hin taʼiniitti maaliif boonta ree?
For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?
8 Amma isin waan barbaaddan hundumaa argattaniirtu! Sooromtaniirtus! Nurraa gargar baatanii mootota taataniirtu! Nus akka isin wajjin mootota taanuuf utuu isin mootota taatanii ani akkaman hawwa ture!
Now ye are full, now ye are rich, ye have reigned as kings without us: and I would to God ye did reign, that we also might reign with you.
9 Waaqni, nu ergamoota akka namoota duuti itti murtaaʼeetti waan dhuma hiriiraa nu taasise natti fakkaataatii. Nu addunyaa duratti, ergamootaa fi namoota durattis waan daawwatamu taaneerra.
For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men.
10 Nu Kiristoosiif jennee gowwoota; isin garuu Kiristoosiin ogeeyyii dha! Nu dadhaboo dha; isin immoo jajjabeeyyii dha! Isin kabajamtoota; nu immoo tuffatamtoota!
We are fools for Christ’s sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised.
11 Hamma saʼaatii ammaatti ni beelofna; ni dheebonna; ni daarra; ni reebamna; mana jireenyaas hin qabnu.
Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace;
12 Harkuma keenyaan hojjechuudhaanis ni dadhabna. Yommuu abaaramnu ni eebbifna; yommuu ariʼatamnus ni obsina.
And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it:
13 Yommuu arrabsamnu, waan gaarii deebifna; hamma yeroo kanaattis xurii lafaatii fi kosii addunyaa taaneerra.
Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day.
14 Kanas isinii barreessuun koo akka ijoollee koo kanneen jaallatamaniitti isin gorsuudhaaf malee isin qaanessuuf miti.
I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you.
15 Isin yoo karaa Kiristoosiin guddiftoota kuma kudhan qabaattan iyyuu, abbootii baayʼee hin qabdan; ani Kiristoos Yesuusiin karaa wangeelaatiin abbaa keessan taʼeeraatii.
For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.
16 Kanaaf ani akka isin fakkeenya koo duukaa buutan isinan kadhadha.
Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.
17 Sababii kanaafis ani ilma koo isan jaalladhu, kan Gooftaattis amanamaa taʼe Xiimotewosin gara keessanitti ergeera. Innis haala jireenya koo kan ani Kiristoos Yesuusiin argadhe kan waan ani iddoo hundatti waldaa kiristaanaa hunda keessatti barsiisu wajjin deemu sana isin yaadachiisa.
For this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, as I teach every where in every church.
18 Isin keessaa namoonni tokko tokko waan ani gara keessan hin dhufne seʼanii of tuulanii jiru.
Now some are puffed up, as though I would not come to you.
19 Yoo fedhii Waaqaa taʼe garuu ani dafee gara keessan nan dhufa; ergasii waan of tuultonni kunneen dubbatan qofa utuu hin taʼin humna isaan qabanis beekuu nan barbaada.
But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will know, not the speech of them which are puffed up, but the power.
20 Mootummaan Waaqaa humnaan malee dubbiidhaan miti.
For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.
21 Isin maal barbaaddu? Ani ulee qabadhee moo jaalalaa fi hafuura gad of qabuutiin gara keessan dhufa?
What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, and in the spirit of meekness?
