2 Xiimotewos 1
1 Phaawulos isa akkuma waadaa jireenya karaa Kiristoos Yesuusiin galame sanaatti fedhii Waaqaatiin ergamaa Kiristoos Yesuus taʼe irraa,
From Paul who, by the will of God, is an apostle of Christ Jesus, charged to proclaim the life that comes from union with Christ Jesus,
2 Gara Xiimotewos, ilma koo jaallatamaatti: Abbaa keenya Waaqaa fi Gooftaa keenya Kiristoos Yesuus irraa ayyaanni, araarrii fi nagaan siif haa taʼu.
to Timothy, my dear child: may God, the Father, and Christ Jesus, our Lord, bless you, and be merciful to you, and give you peace.
3 Ani yommuu utuu gargar hin kutin halkanii guyyaa kadhannaa koo keessatti si yaadadhutti Waaqa akkuma abbootii kootii anis yaada qulqulluun isa waaqeffadhu sana nan galateeffadha.
I am thankful to God, whom I serve, as my ancestors did, with a clear conscience, when I remember you, as I never fail to do, in my prayers – night and day alike,
4 Ani yommuun imimmaan kee yaadadhutti akka gammachuudhaan guutamuuf guddisee si arguu nan hawwa.
as I think of your tears, longing to see you, that my happiness may be completed,
5 Ani amantii kee isa dhugaa sana nan yaadadha; amantiin kunis jalqabatti akkoo kee Looʼisii fi haadha kee Ewuunqee keessa ture; amma immoo akka si keessa jiru nan amana.
now that I have been reminded of the sincere faith that you have shown. That faith was seen first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and is now, I am convinced, in you also.
6 Sababii kanaaf ani akka ati kennaa Waaqaa kan yeroo ani harka koo sirra kaaʼetti siif kenname sana akka ibiddaatti akka qabsiiftuuf sin yaadachiisa.
And that is my reason for reminding you to stir into flame that gift of God, which is yours through your ordination at my hands.
7 Waaqni hafuura humnaa, kan jaalalaatii fi kan of dhowwuu nuu kenne malee hafuura sodaa nuuf hin kennineetii.
For the Spirit which God gave us was not a spirit of cowardice, but a spirit of power, love, and self-control.
8 Kanaafuu waaʼee Gooftaa keenyaa dhugaa baʼuutti yookaan ana nama isaaf jedhee hidhametti hin qaanaʼin. Wangeelaaf dhiphachuu keessatti garuu humna Waaqaatiin na wajjin hirmaadhu;
Do not, therefore, be ashamed of the testimony which we have to bear to our Lord, or of me imprisoned for his sake; but join with me in suffering for the good news, as far as God enables you.
9 Waaqni sababii kaayyoo isaatii fi sababii ayyaana isaatiif nu fayyisee gara jireenya qulqulluutti nu waame malee sababii hojii nu hojjenne kamiif iyyuu miti. Ayyaanni kunis uumama addunyaatiin dura karaa Kiristoos Yesuusiin nuu kenname; (aiōnios g166)
It was God who saved us, and from him we received our solemn call – not as a reward for anything that we had done, but in fulfilment of his own loving purpose. For that love was extended to us, through Christ Jesus, before time began, (aiōnios g166)
10 amma garuu ayyaanni sun dhufaatii Fayyisaa keenya Kiristoos Yesuus isa karaa wangeelaatiin duʼa balleessee jireenyaa fi badiisa ooluu ifatti baase sanaatiin mulʼifameera.
and has now been made apparent through the appearing of our Saviour, Christ Jesus; who has made an end of death, and has brought life and immortality to light by that good news,
11 Anis wangeela kanaaf lallabaa, ergamaa fi barsiisaa taʼee muudameera.
of which I was myself appointed a herald, apostle, and teacher.
12 Anis akka amma jiru kanatti dhiphachuun koo kanumaaf. Ani garuu eenyun akka amane waan beekuuf hin qaanaʼu; akka inni waan ani imaanaa itti kennadhe hamma guyyaa sanaatti eeguu dandaʼus nan amana.
That is why I am undergoing these sufferings; yet I feel no shame, for I know in whom I have put my faith, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him until that day.
13 Waan narraa dhageesse sana akka fakkeenya barsiisa dhugaatti amantii fi jaalala Kiristoos Yesuusiin qabdu jabeessii qabadhu.
Keep before you, as an example of sound teaching, all that you learnt from me as you listened with that faith and love which come from union with Christ Jesus.
14 Waan gaarii imaanaa sitti kenname sana gargaarsa Hafuura Qulqulluu nu keessa jiraatu sanaatiin eegi.
Guard by the help of the Holy Spirit, who is within us, the glorious trust that has been committed to you.
15 Namoonni biyya Asiyaa keessa jiraatan hundinuu akka narraa gara galan ni beekta; Fiigeloosii fi Hermoogenees isaan keessa jiru.
You know, of course, that all our friends in Roman Asia turned their backs on me, including Phygellus and Hermogenes.
16 Oneesifooros yeroo baayʼee waan na boqochiiseef Gooftaan warra mana isaa jiraataniif araara haa buusu; inni hidhamuu kootti illee hin qaanofneetii.
May the Lord show mercy to the household of Onesiphorus; for he often cheered me and was not ashamed of my chains.
17 Akkasumas inni yeroo Roomaa dhufetti hamma na argutti dhimmee na barbaadaa ture.
On the contrary, when he arrived in Rome, he sought eagerly for me until he found me.
18 Akka inni guyyaa sanatti Gooftaa irraa araara argatuuf fedhii Gooftaa haa taʼu! Inni Efesoon keessatti karaa baayʼeen akka na tajaajile ati iyyuu sirriitti beekta.
The Lord grant that he may find mercy at the hands of the Lord on that day. The many services that he rendered at Ephesus you have the best means of knowing.
