1 Xiimotewos 6

1 Akka maqaan Waaqaatii fi barsiisni keenya hin arrabsamneef warri waanjoo garbummaa jala jiran hundinuu akka ulfinni guutuun gooftota isaaniitiif malutti haa ilaalan.

Let the servants so many as are under the yoke, esteem those who are their masters worthy of all honor, in order that the name and doctrine of God may not be blasphemed.

2 Warri gooftota amanan qabanis sababii isaan obboloota taʼaniif isaan hin tuffatin. Qooda kanaa warri tajaajila isaaniitiin fayyadaman sun waan isaan amantootaa fi jaallatamtoota taʼaniif ittuma cimsanii isaan haa tajaajilan. Atis waan kana barsiisi; gorsis.

But let those that have faithful masters not despise them, because they are brethren; but rather let them serve them, because they are the faithful and beloved who are partaking of the benefaction. Command these things and exhort them.

3 Eenyu iyyuu yoo barsiisa addaa barsiise, yoo dubbii dhugaa kan Gooftaa keenya Yesuus Kiristoosii fi barsiisa nama Waaqaa taʼuuf fayyaduun walii hin galle,

If any one teaches another doctrine, and does not give heed to the sound words which belonged to our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;

4 inni of tuulummaan guutameera; waan tokko iyyuus hin hubatu. Inni waaʼee jechootaa irratti morkii fi lolaaf fedhii hamaa qaba; kunis hinaaffaa, wal dhabuu, arrabsoo fi shakkii hamaa fida;

he has been inflated, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and controversies, from which come envy, strife, blasphemies, evil surmisings,

5 namoota qalbiin isaanii badee dhugaanis irraa fudhatame kanneen Waaqatti buluu karaa ittiin maallaqni argamu seʼan gidduuttis walitti buʼiisa dhuma hin qabnetu uumama.

wranglings of men having been corrupted as to their mind and turned away from the truth, considering that gain is godliness.

6 Waaqatti buluun, “Wanni ani qabu na gaʼa” jechuu of keessaa qabaannaan kun dhugumaan faayidaa guddaa qaba.

Godliness with contentment is great gain,

7 Nu waan tokko illee gara addunyaatti waan hin fidiniif, waan tokko illee addunyaa keessaa fudhachuu hin dandeenyu.

for because we have brought nothing into the world, we are not able to carry any thing out;

8 Garuu waan nyaannuu fi waan uffannu qabaannaan nu gaʼa.

however having food and raiment we shall be contented with these.

9 Warri sooromuu barbaadan garuu qorumsaa fi kiyyoo, hawwii gowwummaa fi miidhaa baayʼee fidu kan diigamaa fi badiisatti nama dhidhimsu keessatti kufu.

But those wishing to be rich fall into temptation and a snare and many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown the people in destruction and perdition.

10 Maallaqa jaallachuun hidda hammina gosa hundumaatii. Namoonni tokko tokko akka malee maallaqa jaallachuun amantii irraa badanii dhiphina baayʼeen of waraananiiru.

For the love of money is a root of all evils: which some seeking after have wandered from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

11 Ati garuu yaa nama Waaqaa, waan kana hunda irraa baqadhu; qajeelummaa, Waaqatti buluu, amantii, jaalala, obsaa fi garraamummaa duukaa buʼi.

But you, O man of God, fly from these things; and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, divine love, patience, meekness.

12 Walʼaansoo amantii gaarii sana qabi. Jireenya bara baraa kan yeroo fuula dhuga baatota baayʼee duratti akka gaarii beeksiftetti itti waamamte sana jabeessii qabadhu. (aiōnios g166)

Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, into which you have been called, and witnessed a beautiful testimony before many witnesses. (aiōnios g166)

13 Ani fuula Waaqa waan hundaaf jireenya kennuu duratti, fuula Kiristoos Yesuus kan yommuu Phonxoos Phiilaaxoos duratti dhugaa baʼetti akka gaarii beeksise sanaa durattis,

I charge you before God, who creates life in all things, and Jesus Christ, who witnessed a beautiful testimony before Pontius Pilate,

14 akka ati hamma dhufaatii Gooftaa keenya Yesuus Kiristoositti ajaja kana xurii fi mudaa malee eegdus sin gorsa.

that you keep the commandment, spotless and pure, unto the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:

15 Waaqni eebbifamaanii fi Bulchaan tokkichi, Mootiin moototaa fi Gooftaan gooftotaa yeroo isaatti waan kana ni mulʼisa;

which the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of the kings, and Lord of the lords, will manifest in his own due times;

16 kan hin duune isa qofa; innis ifa namni tokko iyyuu itti dhiʼaachuu hin dandeenye keessa jiraata; eenyu iyyuu isa hin argine; isa arguus hin dandaʼu. Ulfinii fi humni bara baraan isaaf haa taʼu. Ameen. (aiōnios g166)

he alone having immortality, inhabiting light unapproachable; whom no one of men has seen, or is able to see: to whom be honor and power eternal. Amen. (aiōnios g166)

17 Ati akka sooreyyiin addunyaa kanaa of tuuluu yookaan qabeenya badu abdachuu dhiisanii Waaqa akka nu itti gammannuuf jedhee waan hunda baayʼisee nuu kennu sana abdataniif isaan ajaji. (aiōn g165)

Charge the rich in this world not to think high things, nor to hope in uncertain riches, but in God, who richly supplies us all things for our enjoyment; (aiōn g165)

18 Akka isaan waan gaarii hojjetan, akka badhaadhummaan isaanii hojii gaarii taʼu, akka arjooman, akka waan qabanis qooduuf fedhii qabaatan isaan ajaji.

that they do good, be rich in good works, be cheerful givers, ready communicators;

19 Isaanis karaa kanaan jireenya dhugumaan jireenya taʼe qabaachuuf jedhanii badhaadhummaa hundee jabaa taʼu bara dhufuuf jiruuf ofii isaaniitii kuufatu.

laying up for themselves a good foundation for the future, that they may lay hold on the life which is life indeed.

20 Yaa Xiimotewos, waan imaanaa sitti kenname jabeessii eegi. Oduu Waaqni hin jaallannee fi yaada mormii kan sobaan “Beekumsa” jedhamu irraa fagaadhu;

O Timothy, stand guard over that which has been committed to you, avoiding unsanctified, empty talks and oppositions of knowledge falsely so called,

21 namoonni tokko tokko, “Nu beekumsa akkasii qabna” jechuun amantii irraa badaniiruutii. Ayyaanni isin wajjin haa taʼu.

which some proclaiming have made shipwreck concerning the faith. Grace be with you.
