1 Phexros 4
1 Kanaafuu waan Kiristoos foon isaatiin dhiphateef isinis yaaduma akkasiitiin hidhadhaa; sababiin isaas inni fooniin dhiphate cubbuu dhiiseera.
Since, then, Christ has suffered in the flesh, you also must arm yourselves with a determination to do the same--because he who has suffered in the flesh has done with sin--
2 Kanaafuu inni bara jireenya isaa kan foonii isa hafe sana akka fedhii Waaqaatti jiraata malee akka hawwii namaatti hin jiraatu.
that in future you may spend the rest of your earthly lives, governed not by human passions, but by the will of God.
3 Yeroon isin duraan waan ormoonni hojjechuu jaallatan sana jechuunis jireenya gad dhiisii irratti, hawwii foonii irratti, machii irratti, addaggummaa irratti, gar malee dhuguu fi waaqeffannaa waaqota tolfamoo kan jibbisiisaa taʼe irratti balleessitan sun haa gaʼu.
For you have given time enough in the past to the doing of the things which the Gentiles delight in-- pursuing, as you did, a course of habitual licence, debauchery, hard drinking, noisy revelry, drunkenness and unholy image-worship.
4 Isaanis sababii isin gara jireenya gad dhiisii akkasiitti isaan wajjin hin fiigneef ni dinqisiifatu; isin arrabsus.
At this they are astonished--that you do not run into the same excess of profligacy as they do; and they speak abusively of you.
5 Garuu isaan Waaqa warra jiranii fi warra duʼanitti muruuf qophaaʼe sana duratti deebii ni kennu.
But they will have to give account to Him who stands ready to pronounce judgement on the living and the dead.
6 Kanaafuu karaa fooniitiin akkuma namaatti akka isaanitti muramuuf, karaa hafuuraatiin immoo akka Waaqaatti akka jiraataniif wangeelli warra duʼanii jiranitti iyyuu lallabameera.
For it is with this end in view that the Good News was proclaimed even to some who were dead, that they may be judged, as all mankind will be judged, in the body, but may be living a godly life in the spirit.
7 Dhumni waan hundaa dhiʼaateera. Kanaaf akka Waaqa kadhachuu dandeessaniif dammaqaa; warra of qabanis taʼaa.
But the end of all things is now close at hand: therefore be sober-minded and temperate, so that you may give yourselves to prayer.
8 Waan hunda caalaatti jaalala hoʼaa waliif qabaadhaa; jaalalli cubbuu baayʼee dhoksaatii.
Above all continue to love one another fervently, for love throws a veil over a multitude of faults.
9 Guungummii malee wal keessumsiisaa.
Extend ungrudging hospitality towards one another.
10 Tokkoon tokkoon namaa kennaa warra kaan tajaajiluuf argate kam iyyuu akkuma abbaa imaanaa amanamaa kan ayyaana Waaqaa bifa garaa gaaraatiin jiru sanaa tokkootti itti fayyadamuu qaba.
Whatever be the gifts which each has received, you must use them for one another's benefit, as good stewards of God's many-sided kindness.
11 Namni dubbatu kam iyyuu akka nama dubbii Waaqaa dubbatuutti haa dubbatu. Namni tajaajilu kam iyyuu akka Waaqni waan hunda keessatti karaa Yesuus Kiristoosiin galateeffamuuf jedhee jabina Waaqni isaaf kenneen haa tajaajilu. Ulfinnii fi humni bara baraa hamma bara baraatti isaaf haa taʼu. Ameen. (aiōn g165)
If any one preaches, let it be as uttering God's truth; if any one renders a service to others, let it be in the strength which God supplies; so that in everything glory may be given to God in the name of Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the might to the Ages of the Ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
12 Yaa michoota jaallatamoo, qorama akka ibiddaa kan amma ittiin dhiphachaa jirtan kana akka waan wanni haaraan isinitti dhufeetti hin dinqisiifatinaa.
Dear friends, do not be surprised at finding that that scorching flame of persecution is raging among you to put you to the test--as though some surprising thing were accidentally happening to you.
13 Garuu isin yeroo ulfinni isaa mulʼatutti akka baayʼee gammaddaniif waan dhiphina Kiristoos keessatti qooda fudhattaniif gammadaa.
On the contrary, in the degree that you share in the sufferings of the Christ, rejoice, so that at the unveiling of His glory you may also rejoice with triumphant gladness.
14 Yoo maqaa Kiristoosiitiif jettanii arrabsamtan isin eebbifamoo dha; Hafuurri ulfinaatii fi Hafuurri Waaqaa isin irra boqotaatii.
You are to be envied, if you are being reproached for bearing the name of Christ; for in that case the Spirit of glory-- even the Spirit of God--is resting upon you.
15 Isin keessaa namni kam iyyuu akka nama nama ajjeesuutti yookaan akka hattuutti yookaan akka nama yakka hojjetuutti yookaan akka nama dubbii namaa keessa seenuutti hin dhiphatin.
But let not one of you suffer as a murderer or a thief or an evil-doer, or as a spy upon other people's business.
16 Garuu namni tokko yoo sababii Kiristaana taʼeef dhiphate maqaa sanaan Waaqa haa galateeffatu malee hin qaanaʼin.
If, however, any one suffers because he is a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God for being permitted to bear that name.
17 Yeroon itti murtiin mana Waaqaatii jalqabu dhiʼaateeraatii; murtiin kun yoo nurratti jalqaba taʼe dhumni warra wangeela Waaqaatiif hin ajajamnee akkam haa taʼu ree?
For the time has come for judgement to begin, and to begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us, what will be the end of those who reject God's Good News?
18 “Erga qajeeltonni fayyuun rakkisaa taʼe, namni Waaqatti hin bullee fi cubbamaan maal haa taʼu ree?”
And if it is difficult even for a righteous man to be saved, what will become of irreligious men and sinners?
19 Kanaafuu warri akka fedhii Waaqaatti dhiphatan lubbuu isaanii Uumaa isaanii amanamaa sanatti imaanaa kennatanii waan gaarii hojjechuutti haa fufan.
Therefore also, let those who are suffering in accordance with the will of God entrust their souls in well-doing to a faithful Creator.
