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;
I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Messiah, and who will also share in the glory that will 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;
Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, exercising the oversight, not under compulsion, but voluntarily, as God wants; not for dishonest gain, but willingly;
3 karra hoolotaatiif fakkeenya taʼaa malee warra imaanaa isinitti kennaman sana humnaan hin bulchinaa.
neither as lording it over those entrusted to you, but making yourselves examples to the flock.
4 Isinis yommuu hangafni tiksootaa mulʼatutti gonfoo ulfinaa kan miidhaginni isaa irraa hin badne argattu.
When the chief Shepherd is revealed, you will receive the crown of glory that does not 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 ones, be subject to the elder. Yes, all of you clothe yourselves with humility, towards one another; for God resists the proud, but gives 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 worries 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 and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary the devil, walks around like 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.
Withstand him steadfast in your faith, knowing that your brothers who are in the world are undergoing the same sufferings.
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 the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Messiah, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen and establish you. (aiōnios g166)
To him be the power forever. 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, our faithful brother, as I consider him, I have written to you briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God. Stand firm in it.
13 Waldaan kiristaanaa isheen isin wajjin filatamtee Baabilon keessa jirtu sun nagaa isinii dhaamti; ilmi koo Maarqosis akkasuma nagaa isinii dhaama.
She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, greets you; and so does Mark, my son.
14 Dhungoo jaalalaatiin nagaa wal gaafadhaa. Isin warra kan Kiristoos taatan hundaaf nagaan haa taʼu.
Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace be to you all who are in Messiah.
