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.
Now the Spirit expressly declares that in later times some will fall away from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and the teachings of demons;
2 Barsiisni akkasiis karaa namoota fakkeessuudhaan sobanii warra qalbiin isaanii akka waan gubaan gubameetti hadoodeetiin dhufa.
through the hypocrisy of men who teach falsely and have their own consciences seared 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 people to marry, and insisting on abstinence from foods which God has created to be partaken of, with thankfulness, by those who believe and have a clear knowledge of the truth.
4 Wanni Waaqni uume hundinuu waan gaarii taʼeef yoo galataan fudhatame wanni gatamu tokko iyyuu hin jiru;
For everything that God has created is good, and nothing is to be cast aside, if only it is received with thanksgiving.
5 inni dubbii Waaqaatii fi kadhannaadhaan qulqulleeffameeraatii.
For it is made holy by the word of God and by 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 warn the brethren of these dangers you will be a good and faithful servant of Christ Jesus, inwardly feeding on the lessons of the faith and of the sound teaching of which you have been, and are, so close a follower.
7 Oduu xuraaʼaa fi mammaaksa beeraa irraa fagaadhu; qooda kanaa nama Waaqaa taʼuuf of leenjisi.
But worldly stories, fit only for credulous old women, have nothing to do with.
8 Leenjiin dhagnaa faayidaa xinnaa qabaatii; Waaqatti buluun garuu jireenya ammaatiifis jireenya dhufuuf jiruufis waan waadaa of keessaa qabuuf waan hundaaf fayyada.
Train yourself in godliness. Exercise for the body is not useless, but godliness is useful in every respect, possessing, as it does, the promise of Life now and of the Life which is soon coming.
9 Jechi kun amanamaa fi kan guutumaan guutuutti fudhatamuu maluu dha.
Faithful is this saying and deserving of universal 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.
and here is the motive of our toiling and wrestling, because we have our hopes fixed on the ever-living God, who is the Saviour of all mankind, and especially of believers.
11 Wantoota kanneen ajaji; barsiisis.
Command this and teach this.
12 Ati dubbiidhaan, amalaan, jaalalaan, amantii fi qulqullinaan warra amananiif fakkeenya taʼi malee namni tokko iyyuu dargaggummaa kee hin tuffatin.
Let no one think slightingly of you because you are a young man; but in speech, conduct, love, faith and purity, be an example for your fellow Christians to imitate.
13 Hamma ani dhufutti Katabbii Qulqulluu namootaaf dubbisuutti, gorsuu fi barsiisuutti jabaadhu.
Till I come, bestow your attention on reading, exhortation and teaching.
14 Kennaa kee isa yommuu jaarsoliin harka isaanii sirra kaaʼanitti karaa raajiitiin siif kenname sana hin dagatin.
Do not be careless about the gifts with which you are endowed, which were conferred on you through a divine revelation when the hands of the elders were placed upon you.
15 Waan kanattis jabaadhu; akka namni hundinuu guddachuu kee arguufis guutumaan guututti itti of kenni.
Habitually practise these duties, and be absorbed in them; so that your growing proficiency in them may be evident to all.
16 Jireenya keetii fi barsiisa kee eeggadhu. Ittis jabaadhu; waan kana gochuu keetiinis ofii keetii fi warra si dhagaʼan ni fayyiftaatii.
Be on your guard as to yourself and your teaching. Persevere in these things; for by doing this you will make certain your own salvation and that of your hearers.
