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 seniors who are among you, I exhort, who am also a senior, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory which is to 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 with you; exercising the overseer's office, not by constraint, but willingly; neither for the sake of sordid gain, but from good disposition;
3 karra hoolotaatiif fakkeenya taʼaa malee warra imaanaa isinitti kennaman sana humnaan hin bulchinaa.
neither as lording it over the heritage of God, but, being patterns 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, you shall receive the crown of glory which fades 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.”
For the like reason, you younger persons subject yourselves to the seniors. Yes, all be subject to one another, and be clothed with humility, for God resists the proud but gives favor to the humble.
6 Kanaafuu akka Waaqni yeroo malutti ol isin qabuuf, harka isaa humna qabeessa sana jalatti gad of qabaa.
Be humbled, 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.
Cast all your anxious care on him, because he cares for you.
8 Warra of qaban taʼa; dammaqaas. Diiyaabiloos diinni keessan nama liqimsu barbaadee akkuma leenca aaduu nanaannaʼaatii.
Be sober, be vigilant: your adversary, the devil, is walking about as a roaring lion, 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, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the very same sufferings are accomplished in your brethren, who 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)
And may the God of all favor, who has called us to his eternal glory, by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little, himself make you complete; support, strengthen, establish you: (aiōnios g166)
to him be the 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 Sylvanus, a faithful brother, (as I conclude, ) I have written to you in in few words, exhorting you, and strongly testifying that this is the true favor of God, in which you stand.
13 Waldaan kiristaanaa isheen isin wajjin filatamtee Baabilon keessa jirtu sun nagaa isinii dhaamti; ilmi koo Maarqosis akkasuma nagaa isinii dhaama.
They at Babylon, elected jointly with you, and Mark, my son, salute you.
14 Dhungoo jaalalaatiin nagaa wal gaafadhaa. Isin warra kan Kiristoos taatan hundaaf nagaan haa taʼu.
Salute one another with a kiss of love. Peace to you all, who are in Christ Jesus.
