1 Xiimotewos 4
1 Akka bara dhufuuf jiru keessa namoonni tokko tokko hafuurota sobaatii fi barsiisa hafuurota hamoo duukaa buʼuudhaan amantii dhiisan Hafuurri Qulqulluun ifa baasee dubbata.
But the Spirit says expressly that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons,
2 Barsiisni akkasiis karaa namoota fakkeessuudhaan sobanii warra qalbiin isaanii akka waan gubaan gubameetti hadoodeetiin dhufa.
through the hypocrisy of men who speak lies, branded in their own conscience as with a hot iron,
3 Isaanis fuudhaa fi heeruma dhowwu; nyaata Waaqni akka warri amananii fi warri dhugaa beekan galataan fudhatanii nyaataniif jedhee uume sanas akka namoonni lagatan ajaju.
forbidding marriage and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.
4 Wanni Waaqni uume hundinuu waan gaarii taʼeef yoo galataan fudhatame wanni gatamu tokko iyyuu hin jiru;
For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving.
5 inni dubbii Waaqaatii fi kadhannaadhaan qulqulleeffameeraatii.
For it is sanctified through the word of God and prayer.
6 Atis yoo wantoota kanneen obbolootatti himte, dubbii amantiitii fi barsiisa gaarii duukaa buʼaa turte sanaan bilchaattee tajaajilaa gaarii kan Kiristoos Yesuus taata.
If you instruct the brothers of these things, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, nourished in the words of the faith and of the good doctrine which you have followed.
7 Oduu xuraaʼaa fi mammaaksa beeraa irraa fagaadhu; qooda kanaa nama Waaqaa taʼuuf of leenjisi.
But refuse profane and old wives’ fables. Exercise yourself toward godliness.
8 Leenjiin dhagnaa faayidaa xinnaa qabaatii; Waaqatti buluun garuu jireenya ammaatiifis jireenya dhufuuf jiruufis waan waadaa of keessaa qabuuf waan hundaaf fayyada.
For bodily exercise has some value, but godliness has value in all things, having the promise of the life which is now and of that which is to come.
9 Jechi kun amanamaa fi kan guutumaan guutuutti fudhatamuu maluu dha.
This saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance.
10 Sababii abdii keenya Waaqa jiraataa isa Fayyisaa nama hundaa keessumattuu kan warra isatti amananii taʼe sana irra kaaʼanneef nuus kanaaf jennee ni dadhabna; ni tattaaffannas.
For to this end we both labor and suffer reproach, because we have set our trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe.
11 Wantoota kanneen ajaji; barsiisis.
Command and teach these things.
12 Ati dubbiidhaan, amalaan, jaalalaan, amantii fi qulqullinaan warra amananiif fakkeenya taʼi malee namni tokko iyyuu dargaggummaa kee hin tuffatin.
Let no man despise your youth; but be an example to those who believe, in word, in your way of life, in love, in spirit, in faith, and in purity.
13 Hamma ani dhufutti Katabbii Qulqulluu namootaaf dubbisuutti, gorsuu fi barsiisuutti jabaadhu.
Until I come, pay attention to reading, to exhortation, and to teaching.
14 Kennaa kee isa yommuu jaarsoliin harka isaanii sirra kaaʼanitti karaa raajiitiin siif kenname sana hin dagatin.
Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the elders.
15 Waan kanattis jabaadhu; akka namni hundinuu guddachuu kee arguufis guutumaan guututti itti of kenni.
Be diligent in these things. Give yourself wholly to them, that your progress may be revealed to all.
16 Jireenya keetii fi barsiisa kee eeggadhu. Ittis jabaadhu; waan kana gochuu keetiinis ofii keetii fi warra si dhagaʼan ni fayyiftaatii.
Pay attention to yourself and to your teaching. Continue in these things, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.
