2 Xiimotewos 4
1 Ani fuula Waaqaa duratti, fuula Kiristoos Yesuus isa warra jiraatanii fi warra duʼanitti muruuf jiruu durattis mulʼachuu isaatii fi mootummaa isaatiin sin gorsa.
I solemnly implore you, in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus who is about to judge the living and the dead, and by His Appearing and His Kingship:
2 Dubbicha lallabi; yeroo mijaaʼaattis taʼu yeroo hin mijoofnetti qophaaʼi; obsa guddaa fi barsiisa of eeggannaatiin sirreessi; ifadhu; jajjabeessis.
proclaim God's message, be zealous in season and out of season; convince, rebuke, encourage, with the utmost patience as a teacher.
3 Yeroon itti namoonni barsiisa dhugaa dhagaʼuuf obsa hin qabaanne ni dhufaatii. Qooda kanaa akka waan gurri isaanii inni hooqsisu sun dhagaʼuu barbaadu itti himaniif hawwii isaanii guutachuuf barsiistota baayʼee ofii isaaniitiif walitti qabatu.
For a time is coming when they will not tolerate wholesome instruction, but, wanting to have their ears tickled, they will find a multitude of teachers to satisfy their own fancies;
4 Gurra isaaniis dhugaa dhagaʼuu irraa garagalchanii gara oduu hundee hin qabneetti deebisu.
and will turn away from listening to the truth and will turn aside to fables.
5 Ati garuu waan hunda keessatti ilaallachaa deemi; rakkina obsi; hojii tajaajilaan wangeelaa tokko hojjetu hojjedhu; tajaajila kees fiixaan baasi.
But as for you, you must exercise habitual self-control, and not live a self-indulgent life, but do the duty of an evangelist and fully discharge the obligations of your office.
6 Ani ammuma iyyuu akka dhibaayyuutti dhangalaafamuuf qophaaʼeera; yeroon deemsa koos gaʼeera.
I for my part am like a drink-offering which is already being poured out; and the time for my departure is now close at hand.
7 Ani lola gaarii loleera; dorgommii xumureera; amantiis eegeera.
I have gone through the glorious contest; I have run the race; I have guarded the faith.
8 Amma gonfoon qajeelummaa na eeggata; isas Abbaa Murtii qajeelaa, Gooftichatu guyyaa sana naa kenna; kanas warra mulʼachuu isaa jaallatan hundaaf kenna malee ana qofaaf miti.
From this time onward there is reserved for me the crown of righteousness which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day, and not only to me, but also to all who love the thought of His Appearing.
9 Dafii gara koo kottu;
Make an effort to come to me speedily.
10 Deemaas addunyaa kana jaallatee na dhiisee gara Tasaloniiqee deemeeraatii. Qeerqis gara Galaatiyaa, Tiitoon immoo gara Dilmaaxiyaa deemaniiru. (aiōn g165)
For Demas has deserted me--loving, as he does, the present age--and has gone to Thessalonica; Crescens has gone to Galatia, and Titus to Dalmatia. (aiōn g165)
11 Luqaas qofatu na bira jira. Maarqos waan tajaajila koo keessatti na gargaaruuf isa of duukaa fidii kottu.
Luke is the only friend I now have with me. Call for Mark on your way and bring him with you, for he is a great help to me in my ministry.
12 Ani Xikiqoosin Efesoonitti ergeera.
Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus.
13 Ati yommuu dhuftutti waaroo ani Xirooʼaasitti Kaariphoos biratti dhiisee fi kitaabota maramoo, keessumattuu kitaabota gogaa duugamaa sana naa fidi.
When you come, bring with you the cloak which I left behind at Troas at the house of Carpus, and the books, but especially the parchments.
14 Iskindiroos tumtuun naasii sun akka malee natti hammaate. Gooftaan akka hojii isaatti ni deebisaaf.
Alexander the metal-worker showed bitter hostility towards me: the Lord will requite him according to his doings.
15 Namichi kun waan akka malee ergaa keenya mormeef atis isa irraa of eeggachuu qabda.
You also should beware of him; for he has violently opposed our preaching.
16 Yeroo ani falmata koo kan jalqabaa dhiʼeeffadhetti hundi isaanii iyyuu na dhiisanii deeman malee namni tokko iyyuu na hin gargaarre. Anis akka wanni kun isaanitti hin lakkaaʼamneef Waaqa nan kadhadha.
At my first defence I had no one at my side, but all deserted me. May it not be laid to their charge.
17 Garuu akka karaa kootiin ergaan guutummaatti lallabamuu fi akka Namoonni Ormaa hundi dhagaʼaniif Gooftaan na bira dhaabatee na jajjabeesse. Anis afaan leencaa jalaa nan baafame.
The Lord, however, stood by me and filled me with inward strength, that through me the Message might be fully proclaimed and that all the Gentiles might hear it; and I was rescued from the lion's jaws.
18 Gooftaan waan hamaa hunda jalaa na baasee mootummaa isaa kan samiiti nagumaan na galcha. Bara baraa hamma bara baraatti ulfinni isaaf haa taʼu. Ameen. (aiōn g165)
The Lord will deliver me from every cruel attack and will keep me safe in preparation for His heavenly Kingdom. To Him be the glory until the Ages of the Ages! Amen. (aiōn g165)
19 Phirisqilaa fi Aqiilaatti, warra mana Oneesifooros jiraatanittis nagaa naa himi.
Greet Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus.
20 Erisxoos Qorontositti hafe; Xiroofiimoos immoo dhukkubsannaan ani Miilexoositti isa dhiise.
Erastus stayed in Corinth; Trophimus I left behind me at Miletus, ill.
21 Gannaan dura dafii kottu. Ewugiloos nagaa siif dhaama; Phuudeniis, Liinoos, Qilaawudiyaa fi obboloonni hundinuus akkasuma nagaa siif dhaamu.
Make an effort to come before winter. Eubulus greets you, and so do Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brethren.
22 Gooftaan hafuura kee wajjin haa taʼu. Ayyaanni si wajjin haa taʼu.
The Lord be with your spirit. Grace be with you all.
