1 Phexros 2
1 Kanaafuu hammina hunda, gowwoomsaa hunda, itti fakkeessummaa, weennoo fi maqaa nama balleessuu hunda of irraa fageessaa.
Wherefore laying away all malice, and all guile, and dissimulations, and envies, and all detractions,
2 Akka ittiin fayyina keessaniin guddattaniifis akkuma daaʼimman reefuu dhalataniitti aannan hafuuraa qulqullaaʼaa sana jabeessaa dharraʼaa;
As newborn babes, desire the rational milk without guile, that thereby you may grow unto salvation:
3 isin gaarummaa Gooftaa dhandhamattaniirtuutii.
If so be you have tasted that the Lord is sweet.
4 Isin erga gara isaa, gara Dhagaa jiraataa namoonni tuffatanii Waaqni garuu filate gati jabeessa sanaa dhuftanii,
Unto whom coming, as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen and made honourable by God:
5 isinis akkuma aarsaa hafuuraa kan karaa Yesuus Kiristoosiin Waaqa biratti fudhatamaa taʼe dhiʼeessuudhaan luboota qulqullaaʼoo taʼuuf akkuma dhagaawwan jiraatootti mana hafuuraa taatanii ijaaramaa jirtu.
Be you also as living stones built up, a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
6 Katabbiin Qulqulluun, “Kunoo, ani Xiyoon keessa, dhagaa tokko, dhagaa golee filatamaa gati jabeessa nan kaaʼa; namni isa amanatu kam iyyuu hin qaanaʼu” jedhaatii.
Wherefore it is said in the scripture: Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious. And he that shall believe in him, shall not be confounded.
7 Kanaafuu dhagaan kun isin warra amantaniif dhagaa gati jabeessaa dha. Warra hin amanneef garuu, “Dhagaan ijaartonni tuffatan, dhagaa golee taʼeera.”
To you therefore that believe, he is honour: but to them that believe not, the stone which the builders rejected, the same is made the head of the corner:
8 Akkasumas, “Dhagaa nama gufachiisu, kattaa nama kuffisu taʼe” jedhameera. Isaanis waan dubbii sanaaf ajajamuu didaniif gufatan; dhugumaanuu isaan kanumaaf ramadaman.
And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of scandal, to them who stumble at the word, neither do believe, whereunto also they are set.
9 Isin garuu akka galata isa dukkana keessaa gara ifa isaa dinqisiisaatti isin waame sanaa labsitaniif dhaloota filatame, luboota mootii, saba qulqulluu, saba Waaqaa kan addaa taataniirtu.
But you are a chosen generation, a kingly priesthood, a holy nation, a purchased people: that you may declare his virtues, who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
10 Isin dur saba Waaqaa hin turre; amma garuu saba Waaqaa ti; isin dur araara hin arganne; amma garuu araara argattaniirtu.
Who in time past were not a people: but are now the people of God. Who had not obtained mercy; but now have obtained mercy.
11 Yaa michoota jaallatamoo, isin waan addunyaa keessatti alagootaa fi keessummoota taataniif akka hawwii foonii kan lubbuu keessan lolu irraa fagaattan ani isinin gorsa.
Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, to refrain yourselves from carnal desires which war against the soul,
12 Akka ormoonni akka waan isin hammina hojjetaniitti maqaa isin balleessan sun, hojii keessan isa gaarii arganii guyyaa Waaqni nu ilaaluu dhufutti ulfina isaaf kennaniif isaan gidduutti amala gaarii qabaadhaa.
Having your conversation good among the Gentiles: that whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may, by the good works, which they shall behold in you, glorify God in the day of visitation.
13 Gooftaadhaaf jedhaatii taayitaa namaa hunda jalatti bulaa; mootii taayitaa ol aanaa qabu
Be ye subject therefore to every human creature for God’s sake: whether it be to the king as excelling;
14 yookaan bulchitoota inni akka isaan namoota balleessaa hojjetan adabanii warra waan qajeelaa hojjetan immoo galateeffataniif erge hundumaa jalattis bulaa.
Or to governors as sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of the good:
15 Waaqni akka isin waan gaarii hojjechuudhaan haasaa wallaalummaa namoota gowwaa afaan qabachiiftan fedhaatii.
For so is the will of God, that by doing well you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
16 Akka warra bilisummaa qabaniitti jiraadhaa; bilisummaa keessan immoo hammina dhoksuuf itti hin fayyadaminaa; garuu akka tajaajiltoota Waaqaatti jiraadhaa.
As free, and not as making liberty a cloak for malice, but as the servants of God.
17 Nama hunda kabajaa; obbolummaa amantootaa jaalladhaa; Waaqa sodaadhaa; mootiifis ulfina kennaa.
Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.
18 Yaa garboota, isinis gooftota keessan warra gaarii fi toloota qofa utuu hin taʼin warra jalʼootas sodaa hundaan jalatti bulaa.
Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.
19 Namni tokko yoo Waaqaaf jedhee dhiphina dabaan isatti dhufe obse galata qaba.
For this is thankworthy, if for conscience towards God, a man endure sorrows, suffering wrongfully.
20 Isin yoo sababii balleessaa hojjettaniif dhaanamtanii obsitan galata maalii argattu? Garuu yoo sababii waan qajeelaa hojjettaniif dhiphattanii obsitan kun fuula Waaqaa duratti galata qaba.
For what glory is it, if committing sin, and being buffeted for it, you endure? But if doing well you suffer patiently; this is thankworthy before God.
21 Wanni isin waamamtaniifis kanuma. Kiristoos akka isin faana isaa duukaa buutaniif jedhee isiniif dhiphachuudhaan fakkeenya isinii kenneeraatii.
For unto this are you called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you an example that you should follow his steps.
22 “Inni cubbuu hin hojjenne; sobni afaan isaatii hin baane.”
Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth.
23 Yeroo isaan isa arrabsanitti inni isaan hin arrabsine; yeroo dhiphatettis nama hin doorsifne. Garuu isa qajeelummaan muru sanatti imaanaa of kenne.
Who, when he was reviled, did not revile: when he suffered, he threatened not: but delivered himself to him that judged him unjustly.
24 Inni mataan isaa akka nu cubbuuf duunee qajeelummaaf immoo jiraannuuf jedhee dhagna isaatiin cubbuu keenya fannoo irratti baate; isinis madaa isaatiin fayyitaniirtu.
Who his own self bore our sins in his body upon the tree: that we, being dead to sins, should live to justice: by whose stripes you were healed.
25 Isin dur akkuma hoolota karaa irraa badanii turtan; amma garuu gara Tiksee fi Phaaphaasii lubbuu keessaniitti deebitaniirtu.
For you were as sheep going astray; but you are now converted to the shepherd and bishop of your souls.
