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 those who are under the yoke of servitude hold their masters in all honour, that the name of Aloha and his doctrine be not 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 not those who have believing masters slight them, because they are their brethren; but serve them the more, because they are believers, and beloved who are refreshed by their ministry. These things teach and require of 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,

But if there be a man who teacheth other doctrine, and who accedeth not to the healthful words of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, and to the doctrine of the fear of Aloha,

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;

this (is one) who extolleth himself while knowing nothing, but is infirm with disputation and questioning of words, from which are envy, and contention, and evil speaking, and supposition in the evil mind,

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

and conflicts of men whose minds are corrupt and deprived of the truth, and who consider that gain is the fear of Aloha.

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

But thou, remove thyself from them. For our gain is great which is the fear of Aloha, with the use of our sufficiency.

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

For nothing brought we into the world, and we know that nothing we are able to take from it.

8 Garuu waan nyaannuu fi waan uffannu qabaannaan nu gaʼa.

Therefore sufficient to us are food and raiment.

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

But they who will be rich fall into temptations and snares, and many lusts which befool and injure, and which plunge men into 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 root of all evil is the love of money; and there are who have coveted it, and from the faith have erred, and have made themselves enter into many sorrows.

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

But thou, O man of God, from these things flee, and follow after righteousness, and after equity, and after faith, and after charity, and after patience, and after 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)

And contend in the good agony of faith, and lay hold of the life which is eternal, unto which thou art called, and hast confessed a good confession 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 ATTEST thee before Aloha, who vivifieth all, and Jeshu Meshiha, who witnessed before Pontius Pilatos the good testimony,

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

that thou keep (this) commandment without spot and without blemish, until the manifestation of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha,

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

whom in his time will show Aloha the blessed and only Strong One, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;

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 who only is incorruptible, and (who) dwelleth in light which no man can approach; whom no man of men hath seen, nor is able to see: to him be honour and power for ever and ever. 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)

The rich of this world instruct, that they be not uplifted in their minds, nor be trustful upon riches which have no security, but upon Aloha the living, who giveth to us all abundantly for our comfort; (aiōn g165)

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

and that they perform good works, and become rich in welldoings, and be ready to give and to communicate,

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

and lay for themselves a good foundation for that which is to be, that they may lay hold on the true life.

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

O Timothy, watch over that which is confided to thee, and fly from vain words, and the turnings of false knowledge.

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

For they who pursue it err from the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen.
