2 Xiimotewos 2
1 Kanaafuu yaa ilma ko, ayyaana Kiristoos Yesuusiin jabaadhu.
Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace which is in Christ Jesus:
2 Waan fuula dhuga baatota baayʼee duratti narraa dhageesse sana namoota amanamoo kanneen warra kaan barsiisuu dandaʼanitti imaanaa kenni.
and the things which thou hast heard from me, before many witnesses, these commit to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
3 Atis akkuma loltuu jabaa kan Kiristoos Yesuusiitti nu wajjin dhiphadhu.
Do thou therefore endure hardship, as becomes a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
4 Namni loltummaan tajaajilu kam iyyuu ajajaa isaa gammachiisuu yaala malee dhimma jireenyaatiin of hin xaxu.
No one, that enters into military service, embarrasseth himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him.
5 Akkasumas dorgomaan tokko yoo akka malutti dorgome malee gonfoo hin argatu.
And if any one contend in the public games, he gains not the crown unless he contend fairly.
6 Qonnaan bulaan jabaatee hojjetus ija qooddachuutti nama jalqabaa taʼuu qaba.
The husbandman must labour first, in order to partake of the fruits.
7 Waan ani sitti himu kana qalbeeffadhu; Gooftaan waan hunda keessatti hubannaa siif kennaatii.
Consider what I say, and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.
8 Yesuus Kiristoos isa warra duʼan keessaa kaafame, isa sanyii Daawit irraa dhalate yaadadhu. Kun wangeela koo
Remember Jesus Christ of the seed of David, who was raised from the dead, according to my gospel:
9 kan ani isaaf jedhee akka nama yakka hojjete tokkootti hamma foncaan hidhamuutti dhiphachaafii jiruu dha. Dubbiin Waaqaa garuu hin hidhamu.
for whose sake I suffer trouble even unto bonds, as if I were a malefactor; but the word of God is not bound.
10 Kanaafuu akka warri filataman fayyina Kiristoos Yesuusiin taʼe sana ulfina bara baraa wajjin argataniif ani isaaniif jedhee waan hundumaa nan obsa. (aiōnios g166)
Therefore I submit to every thing for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation which is by Christ Jesus, with eternal glory. (aiōnios g166)
11 Dubbichi amanamaan akkana jedha: Nu isa wajjin yoo duune, isa wajjin ni jiraanna;
It is an undoubted truth, if we are dead with Him, we shall also live with Him:
12 nu yoo obsine, isa wajjin ni moona. Nu yoo isa ganne, innis nu gana.
if we suffer, we shall also reign with Him: if we disown Him, He will also disown us.
13 Nu yoo amanamoo taʼuu baanne, inni amanamaa taʼee jiraata; inni of ganuu hin dandaʼuutii.
If we are unfaithful, He continueth faithful notwithstanding; He cannot renounce 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.
These things remind them of, charging them before the Lord not to contend about words, which is profitable for nothing, and tends to the subversion of the hearers.
15 Atis dubbii dhugaa sana sirriitti qabachuudhaan hojjetaa qoratamee fudhatame kan itti hin qaanofne taʼiitii fuula Waaqaa duratti of dhiʼeessuuf tattaaffadhu.
Endeavour to present thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
16 Garuu dubbii faayidaa hin qabne irraa fagaadhu; dubbiin akkasii ittuma caalchisee nama Waaqaa taʼuu irraa nama fageessaatii.
But avoid prophane empty harangues; for they will proceed to more impiety,
17 Barsiisni isaaniis akka dhukkuba gaangiriinii babalʼachaa deema. Himenewoosii fi Filexoosis isaan keessatti argamu;
and their discourse will eat like a gangrene. Of whom is Hymeneus and Philetus; who have erred from the truth,
18 isaanis duʼaa kaʼuun taʼee darbeera jechuudhaan dhugaa irraa fagaataniiru. Amantii namoota tokko tokkoos ni balleessu.
saying that the resurrection is already past; and subvert the faith of some.
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.
However, the foundation of God standeth firm, having this inscription, The Lord knoweth them that are his; and, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
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.
In a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honor, some for meaner uses.
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 therefore any one purify himself from these corruptions, he shall be a vessel unto honor, sanctified and fitted for the Master's use, being prepared for every good work.
22 Atis hawwii hamaa yeroo dargaggummaa irraa baqadhu; warra garaa qulqulluun Gooftaa waammatan wajjin qajeelummaa, amantii, jaalalaa fi nagaa duukaa buʼi.
Flee youthful passions: and follow righteousness, fidelity, love, and peace, with all those that call upon the Lord out of a pure heart:
23 Falmii faayidaa hin qabnee fi gowwummaa keessa hin seenin; kun akka lola fidu atuu ni beektaatii.
but foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they produce quarrels; for the servant of the Lord ought not to wrangle,
24 Garbichi Gooftaa kan nama hundumaaf garaa laafu, kan barsiisuu dandaʼuu fi obsa qabeessa taʼuu qaba malee kan namaan wal lolu taʼuu hin qabu.
but to be gentle towards all men, ready to teach, patient under injuries,
25 Innis akka Waaqni qalbii jijjiirrannaa gara dhugaa beekuutti isaan geessu isaaniif kennu abdachaa warra isaan morman garraamummaan sirreessuu qaba;
with meekness instructing those of different sentiments, not knowing but God may give them repentance to the acknowledgement of the truth;
26 akkasiinis isaan qalbii horatanii kiyyoo diiyaabiloos kan akka isaan fedhii isaa guutaniif isaan boojiʼe sana jalaa baʼu.
and they may awake out of the snare of the devil, who have been captivated by him to his will.
