1 Xiimotewos 5
1 Nama dulloome tokko akka waan inni abbaa kee taʼeetti gorsi malee hin ifatin. Dargaggootas akka obbolootaatti ilaali;
Do not rebuke an older man, but exhort him as a father; the younger men as brothers;
2 dubartoota dullooman akka haadhotiitti, dubartoota shamarran akka obboleettotaatti qulqullummaa guutuun ilaali.
the older women as mothers; the younger as sisters, in all purity.
3 Haadhota hiyyeessaa kanneen dhugumaan rakkattoota taʼan kabaji.
Honor widows who are widows indeed.
4 Garuu haati hiyyeessaa tokko yoo ijoollee yookaan akkoowwan qabaatte ijoolleen kunneen maatii isaanii gargaaruu fi warra isaaniitiif gatii deebisuudhaan amantii isaanii hojiin mulʼisuuf duraan dursanii barachuu qabu; kun Waaqa gammachiisaatii.
But if any widow has children or grandchildren, let them learn first to show piety towards their own family, and to repay their parents, for this is acceptable in the sight of God.
5 Haati hiyyeessaa kan dhugumaan rakkattuu taatee kophaa ishee hafte abdii ishee Waaqa irra kaaʼattee halkanii guyyaa kadhannaa fi gargaarsa Waaqaa gaafachuu itti fufti.
Now she who is a widow indeed, and desolate, has her hope set on God, and continues in petitions and prayers night and day.
6 Haati hiyyeessaa kan jireenya gammachuutti of gattu garuu utuma jirtuu iyyuu duuteerti.
But she who gives herself to pleasure is dead while she lives.
7 Akka namni tokko iyyuu mudaa hin qabaanneef ajaja kana kenni.
Also command these things, so that they will be without fault.
8 Namni firoota isaa keessumattuu miseensota maatii isaa warra isatti aannan hin gargaarre kam iyyuu amantii ganeera; inni nama hin amanne caalaattis hamaa dha.
But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially his own household, he has denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever.
9 Haati hiyyeessaa tokko yoo umuriin ishee waggaa jaatamaa ol taʼee akkasumas niitii dhirsa tokkichaa turte taate malee maqaan ishee galmee haadhota hiyyeessaa irratti hin galmeeffamin;
Let no one be enrolled as a widow under sixty years old, having been the wife of one man,
10 akkasumas isheen hojii gaarii hojjechuudhaan jechuunis ijoollee guddisuudhaan, keessummaa simachuudhaan, miilla qulqullootaa dhiquudhaan, warra rakkatan gargaaruudhaan, karaa hundumaanis hojii gaarii hojjechuu keessatti of kennuudhaan kan beekamte taʼuu qabdi.
being approved by good works, if she has brought up children, if she has been hospitable to strangers, if she has washed the saints' feet, if she has relieved the afflicted, and if she has diligently followed every good work.
11 Haadhota hiyyeessaa kanneen shamarran taʼan garuu hin galmeessin. Isaan yommuu hawwiin foonii Kiristoos irraa gargar isaan baasutti deebiʼanii heerumuu barbaaduutii.
But refuse younger widows, for whenever their passions lead them away from Messiah, they desire to marry;
12 Kanaanis isaan waan kakuu isaanii kan jalqabaa cabsaniif murtii ofitti fidu.
having condemnation, because they have rejected their first pledge.
13 Kana malees manaa gara manaatti labanii dhibaaʼummaa baratu. Dhibaaʼummaa qofa utuu hin taʼin waan dubbachuun isaaniif hin malle dubbachuudhaan nama hamatu; dhimma namaa keessas galu.
Besides, they also learn to be idle, going about from house to house. Not only idle, but also gossips and busybodies, saying things which they ought not.
14 Kanaafuu haadhonni hiyyeessaa kanneen ijoollummaa qaban akka carraa maqaa nu balleessuu diinaaf hin kennineef ani akka isaan heeruman, akka ijoollee daʼanii fi akka mana isaanii bulfatan nan gorsa.
I desire therefore that the younger widows marry, bear children, rule the household, and give no occasion to the adversary for reviling.
15 Namoonni tokko tokko Seexana duukaa buʼuuf jedhanii duraanuu karaa irraa goraniiru.
For already some have turned aside after Satan.
16 Dubartiin amantu kam iyyuu yoo haadhota hiyyeessaa maatii ishee keessaa qabaatte, akka waldaan kiristaanaa haadhota hiyyeessaa kanneen dhugumaan rakkattoota taʼan gargaartuuf isheen isaan haa gargaartuu malee akka waldaa kiristaanaatti baʼaa taʼan hin godhin.
If any believing woman has widows, she must assist them, and do not let the church be burdened; that it might help those widows who are truly in need.
17 Jaarsoliin sirriitti waldaa kiristaanaa bulchan keessumattuu warri hojiin isaanii lallabuu fi barsiisuu taʼe ulfina dachaa argachuu qabu.
Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and in teaching.
18 Katabbiin Qulqulluun, “Qotiyyoo midhaan siribsiisuutti jiru afaan hin hidhin;” akkasumas, “Hojjetaaf mindaa isaa argachuun ni mala” jedhaatii.
For the Scripture says, "Do not muzzle the ox when it treads out the grain." And, "The laborer is worthy of his wages."
19 Yoo dhuga baatota lamaan yookaan sadiin mirkaneeffame malee himata jaarsa tokko mormuun dhiʼeeffamu kam iyyuu hin fudhatin.
Do not receive an accusation against an elder, except at the word of two or three witnesses.
20 Akka warri kaan sodaataniif namoota cubbuu hojjetan fuula namoota hundaa duratti itti dheekkami.
Those who sin, reprove in the sight of all, that the rest also may be in fear.
21 Ani akka ati waan tokko iyyuu loogiidhaan hin goonee fi akka wal caalchisuu malee ajajawwan kanneen eegduuf fuula Waaqaatii fi fuula Kiristoos Yesuus duratti, fuula ergamoota filatamanii durattis sin gorsa.
I command you in the sight of God, and Messiah Jesus, and the chosen angels, that you observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing by partiality.
22 Eenyu irra iyyuu harka kaaʼuuf hin ariifatin; cubbuu nama biraa keessatti hin hirmaatin. Qulqullummaadhaanis of eeggadhu.
Do not ordain anyone hastily, nor participate in the sins of others. Keep yourself pure.
23 Sababii garaa keetiitii fi dhukkuba ammumaa amma sitti kaʼu sanaatiif daadhii wayinii xinnoo ishee dhugi malee bishaan qofa hin dhugin.
Be no longer a drinker of water only, but use a little wine for your stomach's sake and your frequent infirmities.
24 Cubbuun namoota tokko tokkoo duraan dursee ifatti mulʼata; isaan dura darbees lafa murtii gaʼa; cubbuun warra kaanii garuu duuba irratti beekama.
The sins of some people are obvious, going before them to judgment, but those of others show up later.
25 Hojiin gaariinis akkasuma ifatti mulʼata; kan ifatti hin mulʼannes dhokfamee hafuu hin dandaʼu.
In the same way also there are good works that are obvious, and those that are otherwise cannot be hidden.
