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 all who are under the yoke as slaves regard their own masters as worthy of all honor. They should do this so that the name of God and the teaching might 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.
The slaves who have believing masters should not disrespect them because they are brothers. Instead, they should serve them all the more. For the masters who are helped by their work are believers and are loved. Teach and declare these things.
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 anyone teaches something that does not agree with the reliable instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ and to godly teaching,
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 is proud and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy interest in controversies and arguments about words that result in envy, strife, insults, evil suspicions,
5 namoota qalbiin isaanii badee dhugaanis irraa fudhatame kanneen Waaqatti buluu karaa ittiin maallaqni argamu seʼan gidduuttis walitti buʼiisa dhuma hin qabnetu uumama.
and constant conflict between people with depraved minds. They have lost the truth and they think that godliness is a way to get more money.
6 Waaqatti buluun, “Wanni ani qabu na gaʼa” jechuu of keessaa qabaannaan kun dhugumaan faayidaa guddaa qaba.
Now 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 we have brought nothing into the world. Neither are we able to take out anything.
8 Garuu waan nyaannuu fi waan uffannu qabaannaan nu gaʼa.
Instead, let us be satisfied with food and clothing.
9 Warri sooromuu barbaadan garuu qorumsaa fi kiyyoo, hawwii gowwummaa fi miidhaa baayʼee fidu kan diigamaa fi badiisatti nama dhidhimsu keessatti kufu.
Now those who want to become wealthy fall into temptation, into a trap. They fall into many foolish and harmful passions, and into whatever else makes people sink into ruin and destruction.
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 kinds of evil. Some people who desire it have been mislead away from the faith and have pierced themselves with much grief.
11 Ati garuu yaa nama Waaqaa, waan kana hunda irraa baqadhu; qajeelummaa, Waaqatti buluu, amantii, jaalala, obsaa fi garraamummaa duukaa buʼi.
But you, man of God, flee from these things. Pursue righteousness, godliness, faithfulness, love, endurance, and gentleness.
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. Take hold of the everlasting life to which you were called, and about which you gave the 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 give you this command before God, who causes all things to live, and before Christ Jesus, who spoke what is true to Pontius Pilate:
14 akka ati hamma dhufaatii Gooftaa keenya Yesuus Kiristoositti ajaja kana xurii fi mudaa malee eegdus sin gorsa.
Keep the commandment without spot or blame until the appearance of our Lord Jesus Christ.
15 Waaqni eebbifamaanii fi Bulchaan tokkichi, Mootiin moototaa fi Gooftaan gooftotaa yeroo isaatti waan kana ni mulʼisa;
God will reveal Christ's appearing at the right time—God, the blessed and only Sovereign, the King who reigns and the Lord who rules.
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)
Only he has immortality and dwells in inapproachable light. No man sees him or is able to view him. To him be honor and eternal power. 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)
Tell the rich in this world not to be proud, and not to hope in riches, which are uncertain. Instead, they should hope in God. He offers to us all the true riches to enjoy. (aiōn g165)
18 Akka isaan waan gaarii hojjetan, akka badhaadhummaan isaanii hojii gaarii taʼu, akka arjooman, akka waan qabanis qooduuf fedhii qabaatan isaan ajaji.
Tell them to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous, and willing to share.
19 Isaanis karaa kanaan jireenya dhugumaan jireenya taʼe qabaachuuf jedhanii badhaadhummaa hundee jabaa taʼu bara dhufuuf jiruuf ofii isaaniitii kuufatu.
In that way, they will store up for themselves a good foundation for what is to come, so that they will take hold of real life.
20 Yaa Xiimotewos, waan imaanaa sitti kenname jabeessii eegi. Oduu Waaqni hin jaallannee fi yaada mormii kan sobaan “Beekumsa” jedhamu irraa fagaadhu;
Timothy, protect what was given to you. Avoid the foolish talk and conflicting ideas of what is falsely called knowledge.
21 namoonni tokko tokko, “Nu beekumsa akkasii qabna” jechuun amantii irraa badaniiruutii. Ayyaanni isin wajjin haa taʼu.
Some men proclaim these things and so they have missed the faith. May grace be with you.
