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 as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honor, that the name of God and [his] doctrine 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.

And they that have believing masters, let them not despise [them], because they are brethren; but rather do [them] service, because they are faithful and beloved, partakers of the benefit. These things teach and exhort.

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 man teacheth otherwise, and consenteth not to wholesome words, [even] the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and 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 is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, from which cometh envy, strife, railings, 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.

Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing gain to be godliness: from such withdraw thyself.

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

But 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 brought nothing into [this] world, [and it is] certain we can carry nothing out.

8 Garuu waan nyaannuu fi waan uffannu qabaannaan nu gaʼa.

And having food and raiment, with these let us be content.

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

But they that will be rich, fall into temptation, and a snare, and [into] many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men 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 the root of all evil: which while some have coveted, they have erred 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 thou, O man of God, flee from these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, 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, to which thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession 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 thee charge in the sight of God, who maketh alive all things, and [before] Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate testified a good confession;

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, unrebukable, until 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 in his times he will show [who is] the blessed and only Potentate, 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)

Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom [be] honor and power everlasting. 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 them that are rich in this world, that they be not high-minded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things 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.

That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate;

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

Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal 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, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane [and] vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called;

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

Which some professing, have erred concerning the faith. Grace [be] with thee. Amen.
