Efesoon 6
1 Yaa ijoolle, Gooftaaf jedhaatii abbootii fi haadhota keessaniif ajajamaa; kun qajeelaadhaatii.
Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is just.
2 Ajajni jalqabaa kan waadaa qabu, “Abbaa keetii fi haadha keetiif ulfina kenni” jedha;
Honor your father and your mother. This is the first commandment with a promise:
3 kunis, “Akka sitti toluu fi akka lafa irra bara dheeraa jiraattuuf.”
so that it may be well with you, and so that you may have a long life upon the earth.
4 Yaa abbootii, isinis ijoollee keessan barsiisaa fi gorsa Gooftaatiin guddisaa malee hin aarsinaa.
And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but educate them with the discipline and correction of the Lord.
5 Yaa garboota, akkuma Kiristoosiif ajajamtanitti kabajaa fi sodaadhaan, garaa qulqulluunis gooftota keessan warra addunyaa kanaatiif ajajamaa.
Servants, be obedient to your lords according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in the simplicity of your heart, as to Christ.
6 Yeroo iji isaanii isin argutti isaan biratti fudhatama argachuu qofaaf utuu hin taʼin garaa guutuun fedhii Waaqaa raawwachaa akka garboota Kiristoositti isaaniif ajajamaa.
Do not serve only when seen, as if to please men, but act as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart.
7 Akka waan nama tajaajiltaniitti utuu hin taʼin akka waan Gooftaa tajaajiltaniitti garaa guutuun hojjedhaa;
Serve with good will, as to the Lord, and not to men.
8 sababiin isaas isin akka Gooftaan tokkoo tokkoo namaatiif garbas taʼu yookaan birmaduu, waan gaarii inni hojjetu kamiif iyyuu gatii kennu ni beektu.
For you know that whatever good each one will do, the same will he receive from the Lord, whether he is servant or free.
9 Yaa gooftota, isinis garboota keessaniif akkasuma godhaa. Isin akka inni isaanii fi isiniif Gooftaa taʼe sun samii irra jiruu fi akka nama wal caalchisuunis isa bira hin jirre waan beektaniif isaan hin doorsisinaa.
And you, lords, act similarly toward them, setting aside threats, knowing that the Lord of both you and them is in heaven. For with him there is no favoritism toward anyone.
10 Kanaa achi Gooftaa fi humna isaa jabaa sanaan cimaa.
Concerning the rest, brothers, be strengthened in the Lord, by the power of his virtue.
11 Haxxummaa diiyaabiloosiin akka mormuu dandeessaniif miʼa lolaa kan Waaqaa guutuu hidhadhaa.
Be clothed in the armor of God, so that you may be able to stand against the treachery of the devil.
12 Walʼaansoon keenya bulchitoota wajjin, abbootii taayitaa wajjin, humnoota addunyaa dukkanaa kanaa fi humnoota hafuura hamaa iddoo samii keessa jiruu wajjin malee foonii fi dhiiga wajjin mitii. (aiōn g165)
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers, against the directors of this world of darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in high places. (aiōn g165)
13 Kanaafuu akka yommuu guyyaan hamaan sun dhufutti obsaan dhaabachuu dandeessaniif, waan kana hunda gochuunis akka jabaattanii dhaabattaniif miʼa lolaa kan Waaqaa guutuu hidhadhaa.
Because of this, take up the armor of God, so that you may be able to withstand the evil day and remain perfect in all things.
14 Egaa mudhii keessan dhugaan hidhadhaatii, qomee sibiilaa kan qajeelummaas uffadhaatii jabaadhaa dhaabadhaa;
Therefore, stand firm, having been girded about your waist with truth, and having been clothed with the breastplate of justice,
15 qophaaʼummaa wangeela nagaa akka kopheetti miilla keessanitti kaaʼadhaa dhaabadhaa.
and having feet which have been shod by the preparation of the Gospel of peace.
16 Kana hundumaa irrattis gaachana amantii kan xiyya bobaʼaa hamaa sanaa hunda ittiin dhaamsuu dandeessan qabadhaa.
In all things, take up the shield of faith, with which you may be able to extinguish all the fiery darts of the most wicked one.
17 Qoobii sibiilaa kan fayyinaa kaaʼadhaa; goraadee Hafuuraas qabadhaa; innis dubbii Waaqaa ti.
And take up the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit (which is the Word of God).
18 Kadhannaa fi waammata gosa hundaa keessatti yeroo hunda Hafuuraan kadhadhaa. Kanas yaadatti qabachaa yeroo hunda dammaqaatii qulqulloota hundaaf jabaadhaa kadhadhaa.
Through every kind of prayer and supplication, pray at all times in spirit, and so be vigilant with every kind of earnest supplication, for all the saints,
19 Yommuun afaan saaqqadhu hunda ija jabinaan icciitii wangeelaa akkan beeksisuuf dubbiin akka naa kennamu anaafis kadhadhaa;
and also for me, so that words may be given to me, as I open my mouth with faith to make known the mystery of the Gospel,
20 wangeelli kunis isuma ani isaaf jedhee ergamaa taʼee foncaan hidhamee dha. Isinis akka ani akkuma narraa eegamutti sodaa malee isa lallabuu dandaʼuuf naa kadhadhaa.
in such a manner that I may dare to speak exactly as I ought to speak. For I act as an ambassador in chains for the Gospel.
21 Xikiqoos obboleessi jaallatamaan, Gooftaattis tajaajilaan amanamaan haala ani keessa jiruu fi maal akka ani hojjechaa jiru akka beektaniif waan hundumaa isinitti hima.
Now, so that you also may know the things that concern me and what I am doing, Tychicus, a most beloved brother and a faithful minister in the Lord, will make known everything to you.
22 Anis akka isin haala nu keessa jirru beektanii fi akka inni isin jajjabeessuuf, waanuma kanaaf jedhee ani gara keessanitti isa ergeera.
I have sent him to you for this very reason, so that you may know the things that concern us, and so that he may console your hearts.
23 Waaqa Abbaa fi Yesuus Kiristoos Gooftaa irraa nagaan, jaalallis amantii wajjin obboloota hundaaf haa taʼu.
Peace to the brothers, and charity with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
24 Warra jaalala hin badneen Gooftaa keenya Yesuus Kiristoosin jaallatan hundaaf ayyaanni haa taʼu.
May grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ, unto incorruption. Amen.
