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;
The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:
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;
Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight [thereof], not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;
3 karra hoolotaatiif fakkeenya taʼaa malee warra imaanaa isinitti kennaman sana humnaan hin bulchinaa.
Neither as being lords over [God’s] heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.
4 Isinis yommuu hangafni tiksootaa mulʼatutti gonfoo ulfinaa kan miidhaginni isaa irraa hin badne argattu.
And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not 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, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all [of you] be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
6 Kanaafuu akka Waaqni yeroo malutti ol isin qabuuf, harka isaa humna qabeessa sana jalatti gad of qabaa.
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
7 Inni isiniif waan yaaduuf, yaaddoo keessan hunda isa irra kaaʼadhaa.
Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
8 Warra of qaban taʼa; dammaqaas. Diiyaabiloos diinni keessan nama liqimsu barbaadee akkuma leenca aaduu nanaannaʼaatii.
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may 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 the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
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, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle [you]. (aiōnios g166)
To him [be] glory and dominion for ever and ever. 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.
By Silvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I suppose, I have written briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God wherein ye stand.
13 Waldaan kiristaanaa isheen isin wajjin filatamtee Baabilon keessa jirtu sun nagaa isinii dhaamti; ilmi koo Maarqosis akkasuma nagaa isinii dhaama.
The [church that is] at Babylon, elected together with [you], saluteth you; and [so doth] Marcus my son.
14 Dhungoo jaalalaatiin nagaa wal gaafadhaa. Isin warra kan Kiristoos taatan hundaaf nagaan haa taʼu.
Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity. Peace [be] with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
