1 Xiimotewos 1

1 Phaawulos isa ajaja fayyisaa keenya Waaqaatii fi abdii keenya Kiristoos Yesuusiin ergamaa Kiristoos Yesuus taʼe irraa,

Paul an apostle (of [the] Lord *O*) Christ Jesus according to [the] command of God [the] Savior of us and (Lord *K*) Christ Jesus the hope of us

2 Gara Xiimotewos isa amantiidhaan ilma koo dhugaa taʼeetti: Waaqa Abbaa fi Gooftaa keenya Kiristoos Yesuus irraa ayyaanni, araarrii fi nagaan siif haa taʼu.

To Timothy [my] true child in [the] faith: Grace, mercy, [and] peace from God [the] Father (of us *K*) and Christ Jesus the Lord of us.

3 Akkuma ani yeroo Maqedooniyaa dhaqetti si gorse sana ati akka namoonni tokko tokko barsiisa addaa hin barsiifne akka ajajjuuf achuma Efesoon turi;

even as I urged you to remain in Ephesus [when] I was going to Macedonia so that you may warn certain men not to teach other doctrines

4 akkasumas akka isaan oduu hundee hin qabnee fi hidda dhalootaa kan dhuma hin qabne sanaan hin fudhatamne isaan ajaji. Wanni kun hojii Waaqaa kan amantiin taʼu guddisuu irra mormii kakaasaatii.

nor to give heed to myths and to genealogies endless, which (speculations *N(k)O*) bring rather than stewardship of God which [is] in faith.

5 Kaayyoon ajaja kanaas jaalala garaa qulqulluu, qalbii gaarii fi amantii itti fakkeessuu hin qabne keessaa baʼuu dha.

And the goal of [our] instruction is love out of a pure heart and a conscience good and a faith sincere,

6 Namoonni tokko tokko karaa kana irraa badanii gara dubbii faayidaa hin qabneetti gara galaniiru.

from which some having missed the mark they have turned aside to meaningless discourse

7 Isaanis maal akka jedhan yookaan akka waaʼee maalii cimsanii dubbatan utuu hin hubatin barsiistota seeraa taʼuu barbaadu.

desiring to be teachers of the Law, not understanding neither what they are saying nor [that] about which they confidently assert.

8 Yoo namni sirriitti itti fayyadame seerri gaarii akka taʼe ni beekna.

We know now that good [is] the law if one it lawfully shall use,

9 Seerri warra seera cabsanii fi finciltootaaf, warra Waaqa malee jiraatanii fi cubbamootaaf, warra qulqulluu hin taʼinii fi xuraaʼotaaf, warra abbaa isaaniitii fi haadha isaanii ajjeesanii fi warra nama ajjeesaniif malee akka qajeeltotaaf hin tumamin ni beekna;

knowing this, that for a righteous [one] law not is enacted, for [the] lawless however and insubordinate, for [the] ungodly and sinful, for [the] unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for slayers of man,

10 akkanumas seerri ejjitootaa fi dhiirota dhiira wajjin sagaagalaniif, warra garba daldalanii fi warra soba dubbataniif, warra sobaan dhugaa baʼanii fi warra barsiisa dhugaatiin morman hundumaaf akka tumame ni beekna;

for the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for enslavers, for liars, for perjurers, and if anything other which to sound teaching is opposed

11 kunis wangeela ulfina qabeessa kan Waaqa eebbifamaa irraa imaanaa natti kenname sana wajjin walii gala.

according to the gospel of the glory of the blessed God, with which was entrusted I myself.

12 Waan inni tajaajila isaatiif na filatee akka nama amanamaatti na lakkaaʼeef, ani Gooftaa keenya Kiristoos Yesuus isa jabina naa kenne sana nan galateeffadha.

(and *k*) Thankfulness I have for the [One] having strengthened me for Christ Jesus the Lord of us that faithful me He esteemed having appointed [me] to service,

13 Ani kanaan dura nama nama arrabsu, kan nama ariʼatuu fi kan nama miidhu taʼu iyyuu sababii ani wallaalummaa fi amantii dhabuun waan kana hojjedheef araara argadhe.

(*N(k)O*) formerly being a blasphemer and a persecutor and insolent; but I was shown mercy, because being ignorant I did [it] in unbelief;

14 Ayyaanni Gooftaa keenyaas amantii fi jaalala Kiristoos Yesuusiin argamu wajjin baayʼinaan narratti dhangalaafame.

Surpassingly increased then the grace of the Lord of us with [the] faith and love that [are] in Christ Jesus.

15 Dubbiin, “Kiristoos Yesuus cubbamoota fayyisuudhaaf gara addunyaa dhufe” jedhu sun amanamaa dha; namni hundinuus kana fudhachuu qaba; cubbamoota sana keessaas cubbamaan cubbamoota hunda caalu ana.

Trustworthy [is] the saying and of full acceptance worthy that Christ Jesus came into the world sinners to save, of whom [the] foremost am I myself;

16 Taʼus sababuma kanaaf Yesuus Kiristoos akka ani warra jireenya bara baraa argachuuf isatti amananiif fakkeenya taʼuuf ana nama cubbamoota hunda caalaa cubbamaa taʼeen obsa isaa kan dhuma hin qabne sana mulʼisuuf jedhee naa araarame. (aiōnios g166)

But because of this I was shown mercy, that in me myself [the] foremost may display Christ Jesus ([his] perfect *N(K)O*) patience as a pattern for those being about to believe on Him to life eternal. (aiōnios g166)

17 Egaa Mootii bara baraa, isa hin duune, isa ijatti hin mulʼanne Waaqa tokkicha sanaaf bara baraa hamma bara baraatti ulfinnii fi galanni haa taʼu. Ameen. (aiōn g165)

now to the King of the ages, [the] immortal invisible only (wise *K*) God, [be] honor and glory to the ages of the ages, Amen. (aiōn g165)

18 Yaa ilma koo Xiimotewos, akkuma raajii kanaan dura waaʼee kee dubbatame sanaatti, akka ati lola gaarii loltuuf ani ajaja kana siifin kenna;

This charge I commit to you, [my] child Timothy, according to the going before as to you prophecies, that (you may war *NK(o)*) by them the good warfare

19 waan kanas amantii fi qalbii qajeelaa qabaachuudhaan godhi. Namoonni tokko tokko waan kana gochuu didanii amantii isaanii balleessaniiru.

holding faith and a good conscience, which some having cast away concerning the faith caused a shipwreck,

20 Himenewoosii fi Iskindiroos warri ani akka isaan Waaqa arrabsuu dhiisuu barataniif dabarsee Seexanatti kenne sun isaan keessatti argamu.

among whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander whom I have handed over to Satan that they may be disciplined not to blaspheme.
