1 Xiimotewos 1

1 Phaawulos isa ajaja fayyisaa keenya Waaqaatii fi abdii keenya Kiristoos Yesuusiin ergamaa Kiristoos Yesuus taʼe irraa,

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the commandment of God our Saviour, and of Christ Jesus our hope:

2 Gara Xiimotewos isa amantiidhaan ilma koo dhugaa taʼeetti: Waaqa Abbaa fi Gooftaa keenya Kiristoos Yesuus irraa ayyaanni, araarrii fi nagaan siif haa taʼu.

To Timothy, his beloved son in faith. Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father, and from Christ Jesus our Lord.

3 Akkuma ani yeroo Maqedooniyaa dhaqetti si gorse sana ati akka namoonni tokko tokko barsiisa addaa hin barsiifne akka ajajjuuf achuma Efesoon turi;

As I desired thee to remain at Ephesus when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some not to teach otherwise,

4 akkasumas akka isaan oduu hundee hin qabnee fi hidda dhalootaa kan dhuma hin qabne sanaan hin fudhatamne isaan ajaji. Wanni kun hojii Waaqaa kan amantiin taʼu guddisuu irra mormii kakaasaatii.

Not to give heed to fables and endless genealogies: which furnish questions rather than the edification of God, which is in faith.

5 Kaayyoon ajaja kanaas jaalala garaa qulqulluu, qalbii gaarii fi amantii itti fakkeessuu hin qabne keessaa baʼuu dha.

Now the end of the commandment is charity, from a pure heart, and a good conscience, and an unfeigned faith.

6 Namoonni tokko tokko karaa kana irraa badanii gara dubbii faayidaa hin qabneetti gara galaniiru.

From which things some going astray, are turned aside unto vain babbling:

7 Isaanis maal akka jedhan yookaan akka waaʼee maalii cimsanii dubbatan utuu hin hubatin barsiistota seeraa taʼuu barbaadu.

Desiring to be teachers of the law, understanding neither the things they say, nor whereof they affirm.

8 Yoo namni sirriitti itti fayyadame seerri gaarii akka taʼe ni beekna.

But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully:

9 Seerri warra seera cabsanii fi finciltootaaf, warra Waaqa malee jiraatanii fi cubbamootaaf, warra qulqulluu hin taʼinii fi xuraaʼotaaf, warra abbaa isaaniitii fi haadha isaanii ajjeesanii fi warra nama ajjeesaniif malee akka qajeeltotaaf hin tumamin ni beekna;

Knowing this, that the law is not made for the just man, but for the unjust and disobedient, for the ungodly, and for sinners, for the wicked and defiled, for murderers of fathers, and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,

10 akkanumas seerri ejjitootaa fi dhiirota dhiira wajjin sagaagalaniif, warra garba daldalanii fi warra soba dubbataniif, warra sobaan dhugaa baʼanii fi warra barsiisa dhugaatiin morman hundumaaf akka tumame ni beekna;

For fornicators, for them who defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and whatever other thing is contrary to sound doctrine,

11 kunis wangeela ulfina qabeessa kan Waaqa eebbifamaa irraa imaanaa natti kenname sana wajjin walii gala.

Which is according to the gospel of the glory of the blessed God, which hath been committed to my trust.

12 Waan inni tajaajila isaatiif na filatee akka nama amanamaatti na lakkaaʼeef, ani Gooftaa keenya Kiristoos Yesuus isa jabina naa kenne sana nan galateeffadha.

I give thanks who hath strengthened me, even to Christ Jesus our Lord, for that he hath counted me faithful, putting me in the ministry;

13 Ani kanaan dura nama nama arrabsu, kan nama ariʼatuu fi kan nama miidhu taʼu iyyuu sababii ani wallaalummaa fi amantii dhabuun waan kana hojjedheef araara argadhe.

Who before was a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and contumelious. But I obtained the mercy of God, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

14 Ayyaanni Gooftaa keenyaas amantii fi jaalala Kiristoos Yesuusiin argamu wajjin baayʼinaan narratti dhangalaafame.

Now the grace of our Lord hath abounded exceedingly with faith and love, which is in Christ Jesus.

15 Dubbiin, “Kiristoos Yesuus cubbamoota fayyisuudhaaf gara addunyaa dhufe” jedhu sun amanamaa dha; namni hundinuus kana fudhachuu qaba; cubbamoota sana keessaas cubbamaan cubbamoota hunda caalu ana.

A faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into this world to save sinners, of whom I am the chief.

16 Taʼus sababuma kanaaf Yesuus Kiristoos akka ani warra jireenya bara baraa argachuuf isatti amananiif fakkeenya taʼuuf ana nama cubbamoota hunda caalaa cubbamaa taʼeen obsa isaa kan dhuma hin qabne sana mulʼisuuf jedhee naa araarame. (aiōnios g166)

But for this cause have I obtained mercy: that in me first Christ Jesus might shew forth all patience, for the information of them that shall believe in him unto life everlasting. (aiōnios g166)

17 Egaa Mootii bara baraa, isa hin duune, isa ijatti hin mulʼanne Waaqa tokkicha sanaaf bara baraa hamma bara baraatti ulfinnii fi galanni haa taʼu. Ameen. (aiōn g165)

Now to the king of ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

18 Yaa ilma koo Xiimotewos, akkuma raajii kanaan dura waaʼee kee dubbatame sanaatti, akka ati lola gaarii loltuuf ani ajaja kana siifin kenna;

This precept I commend to thee, O son Timothy; according to the prophecies going before on thee, that thou war in them a good warfare,

19 waan kanas amantii fi qalbii qajeelaa qabaachuudhaan godhi. Namoonni tokko tokko waan kana gochuu didanii amantii isaanii balleessaniiru.

Having faith and a good conscience, which some rejecting have made shipwreck concerning the faith.

20 Himenewoosii fi Iskindiroos warri ani akka isaan Waaqa arrabsuu dhiisuu barataniif dabarsee Seexanatti kenne sun isaan keessatti argamu.

Of whom is Hymeneus and Alexander, whom I have delivered up to Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.
