< 1 Timothy 1 >

1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ according to the commandment of God our Savior and the Lord Jesus Christ our hope,
Phaawulos isa ajaja fayyisaa keenya Waaqaatii fi abdii keenya Kiristoos Yesuusiin ergamaa Kiristoos Yesuus taʼe irraa,
2 to Timothy, my true child in faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God our Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
Gara Xiimotewos isa amantiidhaan ilma koo dhugaa taʼeetti: Waaqa Abbaa fi Gooftaa keenya Kiristoos Yesuus irraa ayyaanni, araarrii fi nagaan siif haa taʼu.
3 As I urged you when I was going into Macedonia, stay at Ephesus that you might command certain men not to teach a different doctrine,
Akkuma ani yeroo Maqedooniyaa dhaqetti si gorse sana ati akka namoonni tokko tokko barsiisa addaa hin barsiifne akka ajajjuuf achuma Efesoon turi;
4 and not to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which cause disputes rather than God’s stewardship, which is in faith.
akkasumas akka isaan oduu hundee hin qabnee fi hidda dhalootaa kan dhuma hin qabne sanaan hin fudhatamne isaan ajaji. Wanni kun hojii Waaqaa kan amantiin taʼu guddisuu irra mormii kakaasaatii.
5 But the goal of this command is love from a pure heart, a good conscience, and sincere faith,
Kaayyoon ajaja kanaas jaalala garaa qulqulluu, qalbii gaarii fi amantii itti fakkeessuu hin qabne keessaa baʼuu dha.
6 from which things some, having missed the mark, have turned away to vain talking,
Namoonni tokko tokko karaa kana irraa badanii gara dubbii faayidaa hin qabneetti gara galaniiru.
7 desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say nor about what they strongly affirm.
Isaanis maal akka jedhan yookaan akka waaʼee maalii cimsanii dubbatan utuu hin hubatin barsiistota seeraa taʼuu barbaadu.
8 But we know that the law is good if a person uses it lawfully,
Yoo namni sirriitti itti fayyadame seerri gaarii akka taʼe ni beekna.
9 as knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
Seerri warra seera cabsanii fi finciltootaaf, warra Waaqa malee jiraatanii fi cubbamootaaf, warra qulqulluu hin taʼinii fi xuraaʼotaaf, warra abbaa isaaniitii fi haadha isaanii ajjeesanii fi warra nama ajjeesaniif malee akka qajeeltotaaf hin tumamin ni beekna;
10 for the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for slave-traders, for liars, for perjurers, and for any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine,
akkanumas seerri ejjitootaa fi dhiirota dhiira wajjin sagaagalaniif, warra garba daldalanii fi warra soba dubbataniif, warra sobaan dhugaa baʼanii fi warra barsiisa dhugaatiin morman hundumaaf akka tumame ni beekna;
11 according to the Good News of the glory of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
kunis wangeela ulfina qabeessa kan Waaqa eebbifamaa irraa imaanaa natti kenname sana wajjin walii gala.
12 I thank him who enabled me, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he counted me faithful, appointing me to service,
Waan inni tajaajila isaatiif na filatee akka nama amanamaatti na lakkaaʼeef, ani Gooftaa keenya Kiristoos Yesuus isa jabina naa kenne sana nan galateeffadha.
13 although I used to be a blasphemer, a persecutor, and insolent. However, I obtained mercy because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
Ani kanaan dura nama nama arrabsu, kan nama ariʼatuu fi kan nama miidhu taʼu iyyuu sababii ani wallaalummaa fi amantii dhabuun waan kana hojjedheef araara argadhe.
14 The grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
Ayyaanni Gooftaa keenyaas amantii fi jaalala Kiristoos Yesuusiin argamu wajjin baayʼinaan narratti dhangalaafame.
15 The saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.
Dubbiin, “Kiristoos Yesuus cubbamoota fayyisuudhaaf gara addunyaa dhufe” jedhu sun amanamaa dha; namni hundinuus kana fudhachuu qaba; cubbamoota sana keessaas cubbamaan cubbamoota hunda caalu ana.
16 However, for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first, Jesus Christ might display all his patience for an example of those who were going to believe in him for eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Taʼus sababuma kanaaf Yesuus Kiristoos akka ani warra jireenya bara baraa argachuuf isatti amananiif fakkeenya taʼuuf ana nama cubbamoota hunda caalaa cubbamaa taʼeen obsa isaa kan dhuma hin qabne sana mulʼisuuf jedhee naa araarame. (aiōnios g166)
17 Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Egaa Mootii bara baraa, isa hin duune, isa ijatti hin mulʼanne Waaqa tokkicha sanaaf bara baraa hamma bara baraatti ulfinnii fi galanni haa taʼu. Ameen. (aiōn g165)
18 I commit this instruction to you, my child Timothy, according to the prophecies which were given to you before, that by them you may wage the good warfare,
Yaa ilma koo Xiimotewos, akkuma raajii kanaan dura waaʼee kee dubbatame sanaatti, akka ati lola gaarii loltuuf ani ajaja kana siifin kenna;
19 holding faith and a good conscience, which some having thrust away made a shipwreck concerning the faith,
waan kanas amantii fi qalbii qajeelaa qabaachuudhaan godhi. Namoonni tokko tokko waan kana gochuu didanii amantii isaanii balleessaniiru.
20 of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I delivered to Satan that they might be taught not to blaspheme.
Himenewoosii fi Iskindiroos warri ani akka isaan Waaqa arrabsuu dhiisuu barataniif dabarsee Seexanatti kenne sun isaan keessatti argamu.
