1 Xiimotewos 5
1 Nama dulloome tokko akka waan inni abbaa kee taʼeetti gorsi malee hin ifatin. Dargaggootas akka obbolootaatti ilaali;
An elder do not reprimand, but persuade him as a father, and those who are young as thy brethren,
2 dubartoota dullooman akka haadhotiitti, dubartoota shamarran akka obboleettotaatti qulqullummaa guutuun ilaali.
and the elderly women as mothers, and those who are young as thy sisters, with all purity.
3 Haadhota hiyyeessaa kanneen dhugumaan rakkattoota taʼan kabaji.
The widows honour them who are widows in truth.
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.
And if there be a widow who hath children, or children's children, let them learn first to do justly for their families, and to repay the debts (owing) to their parents; for this is acceptable before Aloha.
5 Haati hiyyeessaa kan dhugumaan rakkattuu taatee kophaa ishee hafte abdii ishee Waaqa irra kaaʼattee halkanii guyyaa kadhannaa fi gargaarsa Waaqaa gaafachuu itti fufti.
But she who is truly a widow and solitary (is one) whose hope is in Aloha, and who persevereth in prayer and in supplication by night and by day.
6 Haati hiyyeessaa kan jireenya gammachuutti of gattu garuu utuma jirtuu iyyuu duuteerti.
But she who serveth pleasure is dead while she liveth.
7 Akka namni tokko iyyuu mudaa hin qabaanneef ajaja kana kenni.
These things prescribe to them, that they be without blame.
8 Namni firoota isaa keessumattuu miseensota maatii isaa warra isatti aannan hin gargaarre kam iyyuu amantii ganeera; inni nama hin amanne caalaattis hamaa dha.
For if a man hath not care of them who are his own, and especially of them who are children of the household of faith, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than those who believe not.
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;
Elect, then, the widow who is not less than sixty years, who hath had one husband,
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.
and who hath the testimony of good works: if she have brought up children, if she have received guests, if she have washed the feet of the saints, if she have cheered the afflicted, if she have walked in every gracious work.
11 Haadhota hiyyeessaa kanneen shamarran taʼan garuu hin galmeessin. Isaan yommuu hawwiin foonii Kiristoos irraa gargar isaan baasutti deebiʼanii heerumuu barbaaduutii.
But from the widows who are young, withhold (the election); for these become schismatical against the Meshiha, and seek to marry,
12 Kanaanis isaan waan kakuu isaanii kan jalqabaa cabsaniif murtii ofitti fidu.
and their condemnation is confirmed, because they have rejected their first fidelity.
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.
They also learn idleness, wandering from house to house; and not only idleness, but also to multiply words, and to follow vain (pursuits), and to speak 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 will therefore that those who are young should marry, and bear children, and conduct their households,
15 Namoonni tokko tokko Seexana duukaa buʼuuf jedhanii duraanuu karaa irraa goraniiru.
and not give to the adversary any occasion to revile. For already have some begun to turn aside after Satana.
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 man or believing woman have widows, let them support them, that they may not be burden-some on the church, that they who are widows indeed may have sufficient.
17 Jaarsoliin sirriitti waldaa kiristaanaa bulchan keessumattuu warri hojiin isaanii lallabuu fi barsiisuu taʼe ulfina dachaa argachuu qabu.
Those presbyters who well conduct themselves shall be worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and in doctrine.
18 Katabbiin Qulqulluun, “Qotiyyoo midhaan siribsiisuutti jiru afaan hin hidhin;” akkasumas, “Hojjetaaf mindaa isaa argachuun ni mala” jedhaatii.
For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox in the treading out; and, Worthy is the labourer of his hire.
19 Yoo dhuga baatota lamaan yookaan sadiin mirkaneeffame malee himata jaarsa tokko mormuun dhiʼeeffamu kam iyyuu hin fudhatin.
Against a presbyter an accusation receive not, except on the mouth of two or three witnesses.
20 Akka warri kaan sodaataniif namoota cubbuu hojjetan fuula namoota hundaa duratti itti dheekkami.
Those who sin before all men reprove, that the rest may be afraid.
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 attest thee before Aloha and our Lord Jeshu Meshiha and his elect angels, that thou keep these, (precepts, ) and let not thy mind be pre-occupied by any thing, and do nothing with acceptance of persons.
22 Eenyu irra iyyuu harka kaaʼuuf hin ariifatin; cubbuu nama biraa keessatti hin hirmaatin. Qulqullummaadhaanis of eeggadhu.
The hand suddenly on any man lay not, neither participate in others' sins. Keep thyself in purity.
23 Sababii garaa keetiitii fi dhukkuba ammumaa amma sitti kaʼu sanaatiif daadhii wayinii xinnoo ishee dhugi malee bishaan qofa hin dhugin.
And henceforth water drink not, but wine a little drink, on account of thy stomach, and on account of thy constant infirmities.
24 Cubbuun namoota tokko tokkoo duraan dursee ifatti mulʼata; isaan dura darbees lafa murtii gaʼa; cubbuun warra kaanii garuu duuba irratti beekama.
THERE are men whose sins are known, and they precede them to the place of judgment; and there are whose (sins) go after them.
25 Hojiin gaariinis akkasuma ifatti mulʼata; kan ifatti hin mulʼannes dhokfamee hafuu hin dandaʼu.
So also good men are known; and those who are otherwise cannot be hid.
