1 Xiimotewos 5
1 Nama dulloome tokko akka waan inni abbaa kee taʼeetti gorsi malee hin ifatin. Dargaggootas akka obbolootaatti ilaali;
Do not chide a senior, but exhort him as a father; and younger men as brethren:
2 dubartoota dullooman akka haadhotiitti, dubartoota shamarran akka obboleettotaatti qulqullummaa guutuun ilaali.
the elder women as mothers, the younger as sisters, with all purity.
3 Haadhota hiyyeessaa kanneen dhugumaan rakkattoota taʼan kabaji.
Honour 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 have children or grandchildren, let these learn first to shew piety at home, and to make suitable returns to their parents: for this is becoming, and 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, that is really a widow and desolate, hopeth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day.
6 Haati hiyyeessaa kan jireenya gammachuutti of gattu garuu utuma jirtuu iyyuu duuteerti.
But she that indulgeth to luxury, is dead while she liveth.
7 Akka namni tokko iyyuu mudaa hin qabaanneef ajaja kana kenni.
These things give in charge, that they may be blameless.
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 any provide not for his own, and especially for those of his own family, he hath renounced the faith, and is worse than an infidel.
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 not a widow be chosen into the number under sixty years old,
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.
having been the wife of one man: in repute for good actions, if she have educated children, if she have entertained strangers, if she have washed the feet of saints, if she have relieved the afflicted, and 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 the younger widows refuse: for when they grow wanton against Christ, they will needs marry:
12 Kanaanis isaan waan kakuu isaanii kan jalqabaa cabsaniif murtii ofitti fidu.
and are therefore to be condemned, because they violate their first faith.
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.
And withal being idle they learn to go about from house to house: and are not only idle, but tatlers also and busy-bodies, talking of things unbecoming them.
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 would therefore have the younger widows marry, bear children, manage houshold affairs, and give no occasion to the adversary for reproach.
15 Namoonni tokko tokko Seexana duukaa buʼuuf jedhanii duraanuu karaa irraa goraniiru.
For some are already 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.
And if any believer have relations widows, let them relieve them, and let not the church be burdened; that it may relieve those that are indeed widows and desolate.
17 Jaarsoliin sirriitti waldaa kiristaanaa bulchan keessumattuu warri hojiin isaanii lallabuu fi barsiisuu taʼe ulfina dachaa argachuu qabu.
Let the elders, who preside well, be counted worthy of double honor, especially those that labour in preaching and teaching.
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 that treadeth out the corn:" and, "The workman is worthy of his hire."
19 Yoo dhuga baatota lamaan yookaan sadiin mirkaneeffame malee himata jaarsa tokko mormuun dhiʼeeffamu kam iyyuu hin fudhatin.
Receive not an accusation against an elder, unless from two or three witnesses.
20 Akka warri kaan sodaataniif namoota cubbuu hojjetan fuula namoota hundaa duratti itti dheekkami.
Those that offend reprove before all, that others also may 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 charge thee before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou keep to these things without preference of persons, doing nothing with partiality.
22 Eenyu irra iyyuu harka kaaʼuuf hin ariifatin; cubbuu nama biraa keessatti hin hirmaatin. Qulqullummaadhaanis of eeggadhu.
Lay hands on no man precipitately, and be not hereby a partaker in the sins of others. Keep thyself pure.
23 Sababii garaa keetiitii fi dhukkuba ammumaa amma sitti kaʼu sanaatiif daadhii wayinii xinnoo ishee dhugi malee bishaan qofa hin dhugin.
Drink no longer water only, but use a little wine with it, for the sake of thy stomach and thy 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 men are notorious, leading as it were to their condemnation; and some more artful they follow after.
25 Hojiin gaariinis akkasuma ifatti mulʼata; kan ifatti hin mulʼannes dhokfamee hafuu hin dandaʼu.
So also the good works of some are manifest; and they that are otherwise cannot be hid.
