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 speaks expressly, that in latter times some shall apostatise from the faith, giving their mind to deceiving spirits and teachings of demons
2 Barsiisni akkasiis karaa namoota fakkeessuudhaan sobanii warra qalbiin isaanii akka waan gubaan gubameetti hadoodeetiin dhufa.
speaking lies in hypocrisy, cauterised as to their own conscience,
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 to marry, [bidding] to abstain from meats, which God has created for receiving with thanksgiving for them who are faithful 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, being received with thanksgiving;
5 inni dubbii Waaqaatii fi kadhannaadhaan qulqulleeffameeraatii.
for it is sanctified by God's word and freely addressing [him].
6 Atis yoo wantoota kanneen obbolootatti himte, dubbii amantiitii fi barsiisa gaarii duukaa buʼaa turte sanaan bilchaattee tajaajilaa gaarii kan Kiristoos Yesuus taata.
Laying these things before the brethren, thou wilt be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished with the words of the faith and of the good teaching which thou hast fully followed up.
7 Oduu xuraaʼaa fi mammaaksa beeraa irraa fagaadhu; qooda kanaa nama Waaqaa taʼuuf of leenjisi.
But profane and old wives' fables avoid, but exercise thyself unto piety;
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 is profitable for a little, but piety is profitable for everything, having promise of life, of the present one, and of that to come.
9 Jechi kun amanamaa fi kan guutumaan guutuutti fudhatamuu maluu dha.
The word [is] faithful and worthy of all acceptation;
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, for this we labour and suffer reproach, because we hope in a living God, who is preserver of all men, specially of those that believe.
11 Wantoota kanneen ajaji; barsiisis.
Enjoin 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 one despise thy youth, but be a model of the believers, in word, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.
13 Hamma ani dhufutti Katabbii Qulqulluu namootaaf dubbisuutti, gorsuu fi barsiisuutti jabaadhu.
Till I come, give thyself to reading, to exhortation, to teaching.
14 Kennaa kee isa yommuu jaarsoliin harka isaanii sirra kaaʼanitti karaa raajiitiin siif kenname sana hin dagatin.
Be not negligent of the gift [that is] in thee, which has been given to thee through prophecy, with imposition of the hands of the elderhood.
15 Waan kanattis jabaadhu; akka namni hundinuu guddachuu kee arguufis guutumaan guututti itti of kenni.
Occupy thyself with these things; be wholly in them, that thy progress may be manifest to all.
16 Jireenya keetii fi barsiisa kee eeggadhu. Ittis jabaadhu; waan kana gochuu keetiinis ofii keetii fi warra si dhagaʼan ni fayyiftaatii.
Give heed to thyself and to the teaching; continue in them; for, doing this, thou shalt save both thyself and those that hear thee.
