1 Phexros 2
1 Kanaafuu hammina hunda, gowwoomsaa hunda, itti fakkeessummaa, weennoo fi maqaa nama balleessuu hunda of irraa fageessaa.
Putting away therefore all wickedness, and all deceit, and hypocrisy, and envy, and all slander,
2 Akka ittiin fayyina keessaniin guddattaniifis akkuma daaʼimman reefuu dhalataniitti aannan hafuuraa qulqullaaʼaa sana jabeessaa dharraʼaa;
as newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby to salvation,
3 isin gaarummaa Gooftaa dhandhamattaniirtuutii.
if indeed 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,
coming to him, a living stone, though rejected by people but chosen by 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.
You also, as living stones, are built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to 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 is contained in Scripture, "Look, I am laying in Zion a stone, a chosen precious cornerstone, and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame."
7 Kanaafuu dhagaan kun isin warra amantaniif dhagaa gati jabeessaa dha. Warra hin amanneef garuu, “Dhagaan ijaartonni tuffatan, dhagaa golee taʼeera.”
For you who believe therefore is the honor, but for those who do not believe, "The stone which the builders rejected, has become the chief cornerstone,"
8 Akkasumas, “Dhagaa nama gufachiisu, kattaa nama kuffisu taʼe” jedhameera. Isaanis waan dubbii sanaaf ajajamuu didaniif gufatan; dhugumaanuu isaan kanumaaf ramadaman.
and, "a stone to stumble over, and a rock to trip over." For they stumble at the word, being disobedient, to which also they 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 a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellence of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light:
10 Isin dur saba Waaqaa hin turre; amma garuu saba Waaqaa ti; isin dur araara hin arganne; amma garuu araara argattaniirtu.
who once were not a people, but now are God's people, 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.
Beloved, I urge you as foreigners and temporary residents, to abstain from fleshly lusts, 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 good behavior among the nations, so in that of which they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they see, glorify God in the day of visitation.
13 Gooftaadhaaf jedhaatii taayitaa namaa hunda jalatti bulaa; mootii taayitaa ol aanaa qabu
Subject yourselves to every human institution for the Lord's sake: whether to the king, as supreme;
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 vengeance on evildoers and for praise to those who do well.
15 Waaqni akka isin waan gaarii hojjechuudhaan haasaa wallaalummaa namoota gowwaa afaan qabachiiftan fedhaatii.
For this is the will of God, that by well-doing you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish people:
16 Akka warra bilisummaa qabaniitti jiraadhaa; bilisummaa keessan immoo hammina dhoksuuf itti hin fayyadaminaa; garuu akka tajaajiltoota Waaqaatti jiraadhaa.
as free, and not using your freedom as a pretext for evil, but as slaves of God.
17 Nama hunda kabajaa; obbolummaa amantootaa jaalladhaa; Waaqa sodaadhaa; mootiifis ulfina kennaa.
Honor all people. Love the brotherhood. 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 in subjection to your masters with all fear; 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 it is commendable if someone endures pain, suffering unjustly, because of conscience toward God.
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, when you sin, you patiently endure beating? But if, when you do well, you patiently endure suffering, this is commendable with God.
21 Wanni isin waamamtaniifis kanuma. Kiristoos akka isin faana isaa duukaa buutaniif jedhee isiniif dhiphachuudhaan fakkeenya isinii kenneeraatii.
For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow his steps,
22 “Inni cubbuu hin hojjenne; sobni afaan isaatii hin baane.”
who "committed no sin, nor was deceit 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 cursed, did not curse back. When he suffered, did not threaten, but committed himself to him who judges 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 his own self bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness; by whose wounds you were healed.
25 Isin dur akkuma hoolota karaa irraa badanii turtan; amma garuu gara Tiksee fi Phaaphaasii lubbuu keessaniitti deebitaniirtu.
For you were going astray like sheep; but now have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
