2 Xiimotewos 2
1 Kanaafuu yaa ilma ko, ayyaana Kiristoos Yesuusiin jabaadhu.
You must, then, my child, find strength in the help which comes from the union with Christ Jesus;
2 Waan fuula dhuga baatota baayʼee duratti narraa dhageesse sana namoota amanamoo kanneen warra kaan barsiisuu dandaʼanitti imaanaa kenni.
and what you learnt from me, in the presence of many listeners, entrust to reliable people, who will be able in their turn to teach others.
3 Atis akkuma loltuu jabaa kan Kiristoos Yesuusiitti nu wajjin dhiphadhu.
Share hardships with me, as a true soldier of Christ Jesus.
4 Namni loltummaan tajaajilu kam iyyuu ajajaa isaa gammachiisuu yaala malee dhimma jireenyaatiin of hin xaxu.
A soldier on active service, to please his superior officer, always avoids entangling himself in the affairs of ordinary life.
5 Akkasumas dorgomaan tokko yoo akka malutti dorgome malee gonfoo hin argatu.
No athlete is ever awarded the wreath of victory unless they have kept the rules.
6 Qonnaan bulaan jabaatee hojjetus ija qooddachuutti nama jalqabaa taʼuu qaba.
The labourer who does the work should be the first to receive a share of the fruits of the earth.
7 Waan ani sitti himu kana qalbeeffadhu; Gooftaan waan hunda keessatti hubannaa siif kennaatii.
Reflect on what I say; the Lord will always help you to understand.
8 Yesuus Kiristoos isa warra duʼan keessaa kaafame, isa sanyii Daawit irraa dhalate yaadadhu. Kun wangeela koo
Keep before your mind Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, a descendant of David, as told in the good news entrusted to me;
9 kan ani isaaf jedhee akka nama yakka hojjete tokkootti hamma foncaan hidhamuutti dhiphachaafii jiruu dha. Dubbiin Waaqaa garuu hin hidhamu.
in the service of which I am suffering hardships, even to being put in fetters as a criminal. But the message of God is not fettered;
10 Kanaafuu akka warri filataman fayyina Kiristoos Yesuusiin taʼe sana ulfina bara baraa wajjin argataniif ani isaaniif jedhee waan hundumaa nan obsa. (aiōnios g166)
and that is why I submit to anything for the sake of God’s people: so that they also may obtain the salvation which comes from union with Christ Jesus, and imperishable glory. (aiōnios g166)
11 Dubbichi amanamaan akkana jedha: Nu isa wajjin yoo duune, isa wajjin ni jiraanna;
How true this saying is – “If we have shared his death, we will also share his life.
12 nu yoo obsine, isa wajjin ni moona. Nu yoo isa ganne, innis nu gana.
If we continue to endure, we will also share his throne. If we should ever disown him, he, too, will disown us.
13 Nu yoo amanamoo taʼuu baanne, inni amanamaa taʼee jiraata; inni of ganuu hin dandaʼuutii.
If we lose our trust, he is still to be trusted, for he cannot be false to himself!”
14 Wantoota kanneen isaan yaadachiisi; waaʼee jechootaatiinis akka wal hin lolleef fuula Waaqaa duratti isaan akeekkachiisi; wanni akkasii warra dhagaʼan ni diiga malee waa tokko illee hin fayyaduutii.
Remind people of all this; tell them solemnly, as in the sight of God, to avoid controversy, a useless thing and the ruin of those who listen to it.
15 Atis dubbii dhugaa sana sirriitti qabachuudhaan hojjetaa qoratamee fudhatame kan itti hin qaanofne taʼiitii fuula Waaqaa duratti of dhiʼeessuuf tattaaffadhu.
Do your utmost to show yourself true to God, a worker with no reason to be ashamed, accurate in delivering the message of the truth.
16 Garuu dubbii faayidaa hin qabne irraa fagaadhu; dubbiin akkasii ittuma caalchisee nama Waaqaa taʼuu irraa nama fageessaatii.
Avoid profane prattle. Those who indulge in it only get deeper into irreligious ways,
17 Barsiisni isaaniis akka dhukkuba gaangiriinii babalʼachaa deema. Himenewoosii fi Filexoosis isaan keessatti argamu;
and their teaching will spread like a cancer. Hymenaeus and Philetus are instances of this.
18 isaanis duʼaa kaʼuun taʼee darbeera jechuudhaan dhugaa irraa fagaataniiru. Amantii namoota tokko tokkoos ni balleessu.
They have gone completely astray as regards the truth; they say that a resurrection has already taken place, and so upset some people’s faith.
19 Garuu hundeen Waaqaa hin sochoofamne kan chaappaa, “Gooftaan warra kan isaa taʼan ni beeka,” akkanumas “Namni maqaa Gooftaa waammatu hundi hammina irraa haa deebiʼu” jedhuun chaappeffame jabaatee dhaabateera.
Yet God’s firm foundation still stands unmoved, and it bears this inscription – “THE LORD KNOWS THOSE WHO ARE HIS”; and this – “LET ALL THOSE WHO USE THE NAME OF THE LORD TURN AWAY FROM WICKEDNESS.”
20 Mana guddaa tokko keessa miʼa warqeetii fi meetii qofa utuu hin taʼin, miʼi mukaatii fi suphees jira; kana keessaas tokko tokko ulfinaaf, kaan immoo salphinaaf oola.
Now in a large house there are not only things of gold and silver, but also others of wood and earthenware, some for better and some for common use.
21 Namni tokko yoo salphina kana irraa of qulqulleesse, inni miʼa ulfinaa kan qulqulleeffame, kan Gooftaa isaa fayyaduu fi kan hojii gaarii kam iyyuu hojjechuuf qopheeffame taʼa.
If, then, a person has escaped from the pollution of such errors as I have mentioned, they will be like a thing kept for better use, set apart, serviceable to its owner, ready for any good purpose.
22 Atis hawwii hamaa yeroo dargaggummaa irraa baqadhu; warra garaa qulqulluun Gooftaa waammatan wajjin qajeelummaa, amantii, jaalalaa fi nagaa duukaa buʼi.
Flee from the passions of youth, but pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, in the company of those who, with a pure heart, invoke the Lord.
23 Falmii faayidaa hin qabnee fi gowwummaa keessa hin seenin; kun akka lola fidu atuu ni beektaatii.
Shun foolish and ignorant discussions, for you know that they only breed quarrels;
24 Garbichi Gooftaa kan nama hundumaaf garaa laafu, kan barsiisuu dandaʼuu fi obsa qabeessa taʼuu qaba malee kan namaan wal lolu taʼuu hin qabu.
and a servant of the Lord should never quarrel. They ought, on the contrary, to be courteous to everyone, skilful teachers, and forbearing.
25 Innis akka Waaqni qalbii jijjiirrannaa gara dhugaa beekuutti isaan geessu isaaniif kennu abdachaa warra isaan morman garraamummaan sirreessuu qaba;
They should instruct their opponents in a gentle spirit; for, possibly, God may give those opponents a repentance that will lead to a fuller knowledge of truth,
26 akkasiinis isaan qalbii horatanii kiyyoo diiyaabiloos kan akka isaan fedhii isaa guutaniif isaan boojiʼe sana jalaa baʼu.
and they may yet come to a sober mind, and escape from the devil’s net, when captured by the Lord’s servant to do the will of God.
