1 Phexros 5
1 Ani akka maanguddoo akkuma isaanii tokkootti, akka dhuga baatuu dhiphina Kiristoosii fi akka nama ulfina mulʼachuuf jiru sana keessatti qooda qabu tokkootti akkana jedhee maanguddoota isin gidduu jiran sana nan gorsa;
Therefore I, being a fellow-elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, also a communicant of the glory which is about to be revealed, exhort the elders who are among you:
2 karra hoolotaa Waaqaa kan tika keessan jala jiru eeguudhaan tiksoota taʼaa; kanas sababii dirqamtaniif utuu hin taʼin fedhiidhuma keessaniin akka Waaqni akka isin taatan barbaadutti, buʼaa nama qaanessu argachuuf utuu hin taʼin hawwii guddaa tajaajilaaf qabdaniin godhaa;
shepherdize the flock of God which is among you, not coercively, but willingly, for the sake of God; not for filthy lucre, but cheerfully.
3 karra hoolotaatiif fakkeenya taʼaa malee warra imaanaa isinitti kennaman sana humnaan hin bulchinaa.
Not as domineering over the heritages, but having become examples of the flock:
4 Isinis yommuu hangafni tiksootaa mulʼatutti gonfoo ulfinaa kan miidhaginni isaa irraa hin badne argattu.
and chief Shepherd having appeared, you shall receive a crown of glory which will never fade away.
5 Yaa dargaggoota, isinis akkasuma maanguddoota jalatti bulaa. Hundi keessanis tokkoo tokkoo keessaniif gad of qabiisa akka wayyaatti uffadhaa; “Waaqni of tuultotaan ni morma; warra gad of qabaniif immoo ayyaana kennaatii.”
Likewise, you younger men, submit to the elders: and all put on humility toward one another; because God resists the proud, and gives grace to the humble.
6 Kanaafuu akka Waaqni yeroo malutti ol isin qabuuf, harka isaa humna qabeessa sana jalatti gad of qabaa.
Therefore humble yourselves beneath the mighty hand of God, that he may lift you up in due time:
7 Inni isiniif waan yaaduuf, yaaddoo keessan hunda isa irra kaaʼadhaa.
having cast all your care upon him; because there is a care to him concerning you.
8 Warra of qaban taʼa; dammaqaas. Diiyaabiloos diinni keessan nama liqimsu barbaadee akkuma leenca aaduu nanaannaʼaatii.
Be sober, watch. The devil is walking round like a roaring lion, seeking some one to devour:
9 Sababii akka obboloonni keessan warri addunyaa guutuu keessa jiraatan dhiphina akkasii dhiphachaa jiran beektaniif amantiitti jabaadhaatii isaan mormaa.
whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that it is for you to complete the same sufferings in this world along with your brotherhood.
10 Waaqni ayyaana hundaa karaa Kiristoosiin gara ulfina isaa kan bara baraatti isin waame sun erga isin yeroo gabaabaaf dhiphattanii booddee inni mataan isaa guutuu isin taasisa; isin dhaaba; isin jabeessas. (aiōnios g166)
But the God of all grace, the one having called you into his own eternal glory in Christ, will himself make you perfect, having suffered a little while, will establish you, will strengthen you, will settle you. (aiōnios g166)
To him is the power unto the age of the ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
12 Anis isin jajjabeessuudhaaf, akka wanni kun ayyaana Waaqaa isa dhugaa taʼe sana dhugaa baʼuuf harka Silwaanos isa ani akka obboleessa amanamaatti hedu sanaatiin gabaabumatti barreessee isinii ergeera. Ayyaana kanaan jabaadhaa dhaabadhaa.
Through Silvanus, the faithful brother, as I consider, I have written unto you briefly, exhorting, and witnessing that this same grace of God is true in which you may stand.
13 Waldaan kiristaanaa isheen isin wajjin filatamtee Baabilon keessa jirtu sun nagaa isinii dhaamti; ilmi koo Maarqosis akkasuma nagaa isinii dhaama.
The elect sister who is in Babylon, and my son Mark, salute you.
14 Dhungoo jaalalaatiin nagaa wal gaafadhaa. Isin warra kan Kiristoos taatan hundaaf nagaan haa taʼu.
Salute one another with a holy kiss. Peace be unto you all who are in Christ.
