2 Xiimotewos 3
1 Garuu guyyoota dhumaa keessa yeroon rakkinaa akka dhufu hubadhu.
Be aware that there will be troubled times in the last days.
2 Namoonni of jaallattoota, jaallattoota maallaqaa, of jajjoota, of tuultota, warra Waaqa arrabsan, warra abbaa fi haadha isaaniitiif hin ajajamne, warra hin galateeffanne, warra qulqullummaa hin qabne,
People will love themselves and love money. They will be boastful, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, and without God in their lives.
3 warra jaalala hin qabne, warra dhiifama hin goone, warra maqaa nama balleessan, warra of hin qabne, gara jabeeyyii, warra waan gaarii hin jaallanne,
Heartless and unforgiving, they'll commit slander and have no self-control. Brutal people who hate what's good,
4 gantoota, warra akka malee jarjaran, warra of bokoksan, warra Waaqa jaallachuu irra waan isaan gammachiisu jaallatan ni taʼu;
they will betray others and be totally thoughtless. They are absurdly full of themselves, living so much for pleasure that they don't care about loving God.
5 warra Waaqaaf bulan ni fakkaatu; garuu humna isaa ni ganu. Ati warra akkasii irraa fagaadhu.
They may give an outward impression of being religious, but they don't actually believe it works. Stay away from these people!
6 Isaan warra manneen seenuudhaan dubartoota dadhaboo warra cubbuun isaan irra tuulamee fi warra hawwii gosa hundaatiin asii fi achi raafaman boojiʼanii dha;
They're the kind of people that slip into homes and take control of vulnerable women who are burdened down by the guilt of sin and distracted by all kinds of desires.
7 dubartoonni kunneen yeroo hunda ni baratu; garuu gonkumaa dhugaa beekuutti dhufuu hin dandaʼan.
These women are always trying to learn but they're never able to understand the truth!
8 Akkuma Yaaneesii fi Yaambirees Museen morman sana namoonni qalbiin isaanii badee waaʼee amantiitti fudhatama dhaban kunneenis dhugaadhaan ni mormu.
Just like Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, these teachers also oppose the truth. They are people with corrupted minds whose supposed trust in God is a lie.
9 Taʼus gowwummaan isaanii waan akkuma namoota sanaa nama hunda biratti ifatti baʼuuf isaan fagoo hin deeman.
But they won't get far. Their stupidity will be obvious to everyone, just like that of Jannes and Jambres.
10 Ati garuu barsiisa ko, haala jireenya koo, kaayyoo koo, amantii koo, obsa koo, jaalala koo, jabaadhee dhaabachuu koo hundumaa duukaa buuteerta;
But you know all about my teaching and behavior, and my aim in life. You know my trust in God and my love. You know what I've had to endure—
11 ariʼatamuu koo, rakkina kootii fi waan Anxookiiyaatti, Iqooniyoonii fi Lisxiraanitti narra gaʼe, ariʼatama garaa garaa kan ani obsaan keessa darbes duukaa buuteerta. Gooftaan garuu waan kana hunda jalaa na baase.
how I've been persecuted and what I've suffered. You know what happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra—the troubles I had and how the Lord rescued me from all of them.
12 Dhugumaanuu namni Kiristoos Yesuusiin nama Waaqaa taʼee jiraachuu barbaadu kam iyyuu ni ariʼatama;
Of course it's true that everyone who wants to live a life devoted to God in Christ Jesus will experience persecution,
13 namoonni hamoonii fi gowwoomsitoonni garuu nama gowwoomsaa, of illee gowwoomfamaa hamminaan ittuma caalaa deemu.
while wicked people and frauds will do well, going from bad to worse, deceiving others and deceiving themselves too.
14 Ati garuu waan barattee fi waan hubatte sanatti jabaadhu; eenyu irraa akka baratte beektaatii;
But you must hold onto the things you've learned and are convinced are true. You know who taught you.
15 akkasumas ati ijoollummaa keetii jalqabdee Katabbiiwwan Qulqulluu kanneen waaʼee fayyina karaa Kiristoos Yesuusitti amanuutiin argamu sanaaf ogeessa si taasisuu dandaʼan akkamitti akka baratte ni beekta.
From your childhood you've known the holy Scriptures which can give you understanding for salvation by trusting in Christ Jesus.
16 Katabbiin Qulqulluun hundi hafuura afaan Waaqaatii baʼeen kennaman; isaanis barsiisuuf, akeekkachiisuuf, sirreessuu fi qajeelummaan leenjisuuf ni fayyadu;
All Scripture inspired by God is useful for teaching, for confronting what is wrong, for setting us straight, and for telling us what is right.
17 kunis akka namni Waaqaa hojii gaarii hundumaaf guutummaatti hidhatee qophaaʼuuf.
This is how God provides a thorough preparation for those who work for him to accomplish all that's good.
