Tiitoo 3
1 Ati akka namoonni bulchitootaa fi abbootii taayitaatiif bulan, akka ajajamanii fi akka waan gaarii kam iyyuu hojjechuuf qophaaʼoo taʼan yaadachiisi;
Admonish them to be submissive to governors and magistrates, to obey their orders, and to be ready to every good work;
2 akka isaan maqaa nama tokko illee hin balleessine, akka namoota nagaatii fi obsa qabeeyyii taʼan, akka nama hundaaf garraamummaa argisiisanis yaadachiisi.
to slander no man, to avoid contention, to be gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.
3 Nu mataan keenyas duraan warra gowwoota, warra hin ajajamne, warra gowwoomfamnee fi warra dharraa hamaa fi gammachuu gosa hundaatiif garboomfamne turre. Namootaan jibbamaa fi walis jibbaa, hamminaa fi hinaaffaan jiraachaa turre.
For we also were formerly foolish, disobedient, going astray, enslaved to various disorderly appetites and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
4 Yommuu gaarummaa fi jaalalli Fayyisaa keenya Waaqaa mulʼatetti garuu,
But when the kindness and love of God our Saviour towards man appeared,
5 inni sababii qajeelummaa nu hojjenneetiif utuu hin taʼin sababii araara isaatiif jedhee nu fayyise. Inni dhiqannaa lammata dhalachuutii fi haaromsuu Hafuura Qulqulluutiin nu fayyise;
not for works of righteousness which we had done, but according to his own mercy He saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the holy Spirit;
6 hafuurri kunis isa Waaqni karaa Fayyisaa keenya Yesuus Kiristoosiin arjummaadhaan nurratti dhangalaase sana;
which He hath plentifully shed upon us, through Jesus Christ our Saviour:
7 kunis akka nu ayyaana isaatiin qajeeltota taasifamnee abdii jireenya bara baraa qabaachuun dhaaltota taanuuf. (aiōnios g166)
that being justified by his grace, we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
8 Jechi kunis amanamaa dha. Warri Waaqa amanatan akka waan gaarii hojjechuuf of eeggannaan of kennan, akka ati cimsitee waan kana dubbattu nan barbaada. Kunis waan akka malee gaarii fi waan nama hundumaa fayyaduu dha.
This is a word which ought to believed and observed, and concerning these things I would have thee stedfastly affirm, that they who have believed in God be careful to excel in good works: for these things are good and profitable to men.
9 Ati garuu falmii faayidaa hin qabnee fi hidda dhalootaa lakkaaʼuu irraa, waaʼee seeraa irratti wal mormuu fi wal loluu irraa fagaadhu; kun waan buʼaa hin qabnee fi waan hin fayyadnee dhaatii.
But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and strifes and contentions about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain:
10 Nama gargar baʼuu fidu tokko yeroo tokko akeekkachiisi; yeroo lammaffaas akeekkachiisi. Ergasii immoo isa irraa fagaadhu.
reject therefore such an heretical man, after the first and second admonition; knowing that such a one is perverted,
11 Namni akkasii akka micciiramaa fi cubbamaa taʼe atuu beekta; inni nama ofuma isaatti muruu dha.
and sinneth as being self-condemned.
12 Ani waanan yeroo gannaa Niqoophiliyoonitti dabarsuuf murteesseef akkuma ani Arxemaas yookaan Xikiqoosin sitti ergeen dafii kottu.
When I shall send Artemas to thee, or Tychicus, endeavour to come to me to Nicopolis: for there I have determined to winter.
13 Zenaas abukaattichaa fi Apholoosin imala isaanii irratti gargaaruuf waan dandeessu hunda godhi; waan isaan barbaachisu hunda qabaachuu isaanii illee mirkaneessi.
Forward Zenas the lawyer, and Apollos, on their journey carefully, that nothing may be wanting to them.
14 Namoonni keenya akka waan guyyaa guyyaatti isaan barbaachisu hojjetanii argatanii fi akka jireenya buʼaa hin qabne hin jiraanneefis waan gaarii hojjechuuf of kennuu barachuu qabu.
And let our brethren-also learn to excel in good works for necessary exigencies, that they may not be unfruitful.
15 Warri na wajjin jiran hundinuu nagaa siif dhaamu. Warra amantiin nu jaallatanitti nagaa nuuf himi. Ayyaanni hunda keessan wajjin haa taʼu.
All that are with me salute thee. Salute them that love us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.
