1 Phexros 2
1 Kanaafuu hammina hunda, gowwoomsaa hunda, itti fakkeessummaa, weennoo fi maqaa nama balleessuu hunda of irraa fageessaa.
Therefore having laid aside all evil, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envyings, and all calumniations;
2 Akka ittiin fayyina keessaniin guddattaniifis akkuma daaʼimman reefuu dhalataniitti aannan hafuuraa qulqullaaʼaa sana jabeessaa dharraʼaa;
like newly born babes, desire the pure milk of the word, in order that you may grow thereby unto salvation:
3 isin gaarummaa Gooftaa dhandhamattaniirtuutii.
if you have tasted that the Lord is good.
4 Isin erga gara isaa, gara Dhagaa jiraataa namoonni tuffatanii Waaqni garuu filate gati jabeessa sanaa dhuftanii,
Unto whom going forth, to a living stone, indeed rejected by men, but elect with God, precious,
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.
and you, as living stones, are built up a spiritual house, into a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices, acceptable unto God through 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.
Because it runs thus in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Zion a chief cornerstone, elect, precious: and the one believing on him can not be ashamed.
7 Kanaafuu dhagaan kun isin warra amantaniif dhagaa gati jabeessaa dha. Warra hin amanneef garuu, “Dhagaan ijaartonni tuffatan, dhagaa golee taʼeera.”
Therefore to you who believe he is precious: but to the unbelievers, the stone which the builders rejected, the same has become the head of the corner, and the stone of stumbling, and the rock of offence,
8 Akkasumas, “Dhagaa nama gufachiisu, kattaa nama kuffisu taʼe” jedhameera. Isaanis waan dubbii sanaaf ajajamuu didaniif gufatan; dhugumaanuu isaan kanumaaf ramadaman.
who stumble over the word, disbelieving: unto which they indeed were appointed.
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 an elect race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people unto conquest; in order that you may proclaim the virtues of the one having called you out of darkness unto his own marvelous light:
10 Isin dur saba Waaqaa hin turre; amma garuu saba Waaqaa ti; isin dur araara hin arganne; amma garuu araara argattaniirtu.
who at one time were no people, but now you are the people of God: who had not obtained mercy, lint just now having received 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.
Beloved, I exhort you as pilgrims and strangers, to abstain from the carnal desire which wars 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 deportment beautiful among the Gentiles: in order that in whatsoever they calumniate you as evil doers, seeing from your beautiful works, they may glorify God in the day of his visitation.
13 Gooftaadhaaf jedhaatii taayitaa namaa hunda jalatti bulaa; mootii taayitaa ol aanaa qabu
Submit to every human creature for the sake of the Lord: whether to the king as supereminent,
14 yookaan bulchitoota inni akka isaan namoota balleessaa hojjetan adabanii warra waan qajeelaa hojjetan immoo galateeffataniif erge hundumaa jalattis bulaa.
or to governors, as those having been sent out by him unto the condemnation of evil doers, and the praise of those doing good;
15 Waaqni akka isin waan gaarii hojjechuudhaan haasaa wallaalummaa namoota gowwaa afaan qabachiiftan fedhaatii.
because thus it is the will of God, that doing good you should put to shame the ignorance of the ignorant people:
16 Akka warra bilisummaa qabaniitti jiraadhaa; bilisummaa keessan immoo hammina dhoksuuf itti hin fayyadaminaa; garuu akka tajaajiltoota Waaqaatti jiraadhaa.
as free, and not as having the freedom as a cover of evil, but as servants of God.
17 Nama hunda kabajaa; obbolummaa amantootaa jaalladhaa; Waaqa sodaadhaa; mootiifis ulfina kennaa.
Honor all people; love the brotherhood with divine love; fear God; honor the king.
18 Yaa garboota, isinis gooftota keessan warra gaarii fi toloota qofa utuu hin taʼin warra jalʼootas sodaa hundaan jalatti bulaa.
Servants, be submissive to your masters with all reverence; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the wicked.
19 Namni tokko yoo Waaqaaf jedhee dhiphina dabaan isatti dhufe obse galata qaba.
For this is grace, if, through the conscience of God, one bears sorrows and suffering unjustly.
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 there, if, committing sin and being buffeted, you endure it? But if, doing good and suffering you endure it, this is grace with God.
21 Wanni isin waamamtaniifis kanuma. Kiristoos akka isin faana isaa duukaa buutaniif jedhee isiniif dhiphachuudhaan fakkeenya isinii kenneeraatii.
For unto this you have been called: because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you may follow in 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, being reviled, reviled not again; suffering, he threatened not, but gave up to the one judging righteously:
24 Inni mataan isaa akka nu cubbuuf duunee qajeelummaaf immoo jiraannuuf jedhee dhagna isaatiin cubbuu keenya fannoo irratti baate; isinis madaa isaatiin fayyitaniirtu.
who himself has borne our sins in his own body on the wood, in order that we, being made free from sins, may live unto righteousness: by whose stripe you are healed.
25 Isin dur akkuma hoolota karaa irraa badanii turtan; amma garuu gara Tiksee fi Phaaphaasii lubbuu keessaniitti deebitaniirtu.
For you have wandered away like sheep; but you have now turned to the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
