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 do fully testify, then, before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who is about to judge living and dead at his manifestation and his reign —

2 Dubbicha lallabi; yeroo mijaaʼaattis taʼu yeroo hin mijoofnetti qophaaʼi; obsa guddaa fi barsiisa of eeggannaatiin sirreessi; ifadhu; jajjabeessis.

preach the word; be earnest in season, out of season, convict, rebuke, exhort, in all long-suffering and teaching,

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 there shall be a season when the sound teaching they will not suffer, but according to their own desires to themselves they shall heap up teachers — itching in the hearing,

4 Gurra isaaniis dhugaa dhagaʼuu irraa garagalchanii gara oduu hundee hin qabneetti deebisu.

and indeed, from the truth the hearing they shall turn away, and to the fables they shall be turned aside.

5 Ati garuu waan hunda keessatti ilaallachaa deemi; rakkina obsi; hojii tajaajilaan wangeelaa tokko hojjetu hojjedhu; tajaajila kees fiixaan baasi.

And thou — watch in all things; suffer evil; do the work of one proclaiming good news; of thy ministration make full assurance,

6 Ani ammuma iyyuu akka dhibaayyuutti dhangalaafamuuf qophaaʼeera; yeroon deemsa koos gaʼeera.

for I am already being poured out, and the time of my release hath arrived;

7 Ani lola gaarii loleera; dorgommii xumureera; amantiis eegeera.

the good strife I have striven, the course I have finished, the faith I have kept,

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.

henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of the righteousness that the Lord — the Righteous Judge — shall give to me in that day, and not only to me, but also to all those loving his manifestation.

9 Dafii gara koo kottu;

Be diligent to come unto me quickly,

10 Deemaas addunyaa kana jaallatee na dhiisee gara Tasaloniiqee deemeeraatii. Qeerqis gara Galaatiyaa, Tiitoon immoo gara Dilmaaxiyaa deemaniiru. (aiōn g165)

for Demas forsook me, having loved the present age, and went on to Thessalonica, Crescens to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia, (aiōn g165)

11 Luqaas qofatu na bira jira. Maarqos waan tajaajila koo keessatti na gargaaruuf isa of duukaa fidii kottu.

Lukas only is with me; Markus having taken, bring with thyself, for he is profitable to me for ministration;

12 Ani Xikiqoosin Efesoonitti ergeera.

and Tychicus I sent to Ephesus;

13 Ati yommuu dhuftutti waaroo ani Xirooʼaasitti Kaariphoos biratti dhiisee fi kitaabota maramoo, keessumattuu kitaabota gogaa duugamaa sana naa fidi.

the cloak that I left in Troas with Carpus, coming, bring thou and the books — especially the parchments.

14 Iskindiroos tumtuun naasii sun akka malee natti hammaate. Gooftaan akka hojii isaatti ni deebisaaf.

Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil; may the Lord repay to him according to his works,

15 Namichi kun waan akka malee ergaa keenya mormeef atis isa irraa of eeggachuu qabda.

of whom also do thou beware, for greatly hath he stood against our words;

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.

in my first defence no one stood with me, but all forsook me, (may it not be reckoned to them!)

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.

and the Lord stood by me, and did strengthen me, that through me the preaching might be fully assured, and all the nations might hear, and I was freed out of the mouth of a lion,

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)

and the Lord shall free me from every evil work, and shall save [me] — to his heavenly kingdom; to whom [is] the glory to the ages of the ages! Amen. (aiōn g165)

19 Phirisqilaa fi Aqiilaatti, warra mana Oneesifooros jiraatanittis nagaa naa himi.

Salute Prisca and Aquilas, and Onesiphorus' household;

20 Erisxoos Qorontositti hafe; Xiroofiimoos immoo dhukkubsannaan ani Miilexoositti isa dhiise.

Erastus did remain in Corinth, and Trophimus I left in Miletus infirm;

21 Gannaan dura dafii kottu. Ewugiloos nagaa siif dhaama; Phuudeniis, Liinoos, Qilaawudiyaa fi obboloonni hundinuus akkasuma nagaa siif dhaamu.

be diligent to come before winter. Salute thee doth Eubulus, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren.

22 Gooftaan hafuura kee wajjin haa taʼu. Ayyaanni si wajjin haa taʼu.

The Lord Jesus Christ [is] with thy spirit; the grace [is] with you! Amen.
