1 Ximotiyoosa 6

1 Xoossaa sunthaynne nu timirttey cayettonna mela aylletethan de7eyssati banttana haariya godata bonchcho.

Let all who are under the yoke as slaves regard their own masters as worthy of all honor. They should do this so that the name of God and the teaching might not be blasphemed.

2 Ammaniya godati de7iya aylleti, entta godati enttaw isha gidiya gisho entta kadhoppo. Entta oosuwan maaddettiya godati, ammaneyssatanne dosettidayssata gidiya gisho entti kaseyssafe aathidi oothanaw bessees. Neeni hayssa tamaarssanawunne entti oothana mela zoranaw bessees.

The slaves who have believing masters should not disrespect them because they are brothers. Instead, they should serve them all the more. For the masters who are helped by their work are believers and are loved. Teach and declare these things.

3 Oonikka dumma timirttiya tamaarssiyaba gidikko, nu Godaa Yesuus Kiristtoosa tuma qaalaranne nu ammanuwa timirttiyara gayttenna.

If anyone teaches something that does not agree with the reliable instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ and to godly teaching,

4 He uray otoron sugetteesippe attin aykkoka erenna. Enttaw issi qofa bolla palamanawunne ooyettanaw iita amoy de7ees. Hessi qanaate, ooshshi, cashshe, iita sidhe,

he is proud and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy interest in controversies and arguments about words that result in envy, strife, insults, evil suspicions,

5 giigonna palamaa kaalethees. Qassi enttaw iita wozani de7ees; tumaakka balidosona; entti Xoossaa ammanoy duretethas oge gidi qoppoosona.

and constant conflict between people with depraved minds. They have lost the truth and they think that godliness is a way to get more money.

6 Shin taw de7iyabay gidana giya asas tuma ayyaana de7oy gita wodhe.

Now godliness with contentment is great gain.

7 Nuuni ha alamiya aykkoka ehibookko; qassi iyappe aykkoka ekkidi bookko.

For we have brought nothing into the world. Neither are we able to take out anything.

8 Nuus kathinne ma7oy de7ikko hessi gidana.

Instead, let us be satisfied with food and clothing.

9 Shin duretethi koyeyssati paaceninne xihen geloosona. Qassi enttana duge dafiyanne dhayssiya eeyatethinne qohiya amon kunddoosona.

Now those who want to become wealthy fall into temptation, into a trap. They fall into many foolish and harmful passions, and into whatever else makes people sink into ruin and destruction.

10 Miishe siiqoy iitatetha ubbaas pultto. Issoti issoti miishe amottishe ammanoppe balettidi daro meton banttana yeggidosona.

For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people who desire it have been mislead away from the faith and have pierced themselves with much grief.

11 Shin neno, Xoossaa asoo, hessafe baqata. Xillotethaa, Xoossaa daano, ammano, siiqo, dandda7anne ashkketethaa kaalla.

But you, man of God, flee from these things. Pursue righteousness, godliness, faithfulness, love, endurance, and gentleness.

12 Ammano baaxiya loytha baaxeta. Daro asaa sinthan ne markkattida ne ammanuwabaa, Xoossay nena iyaw xeegida merinaa de7uwa oykka. (aiōnios g166)

Fight the good fight of faith. Take hold of the everlasting life to which you were called, and about which you gave the good confession before many witnesses. (aiōnios g166)

13 Ubbaas de7o immiya Xoossaa sinthaninne, Phenxe Philaaxoosa sinthan lo77o markka markkattida Kiristtoos Yesuusa sinthan ta nena kiittays.

I give you this command before God, who causes all things to live, and before Christ Jesus, who spoke what is true to Pontius Pilate:

14 Nu Godaa Yesuus Kiristtoosi qonccana gakkanaw ha kiitaa balinne borey baynna naaga.

Keep the commandment without spot or blame until the appearance of our Lord Jesus Christ.

15 Ba xalaala ubbaa haariya bonchcho Xoossay, kawota kawoy, godata Goday, ba qoppida qamman Yesuus Kiristtoosa zaari kiittana.

God will reveal Christ's appearing at the right time—God, the blessed and only Sovereign, the King who reigns and the Lord who rules.

16 Issi iya xalaali hayqqenna. Oonikka shiiqanaw dandda7onna poo7on de7ees. Oonikka iya be7ibeenna; qassi be7anawukka dandda7enna. Bonchchoynne merinaa wolqqay iyaw gido. Amin7i. (aiōnios g166)

Only he has immortality and dwells in inapproachable light. No man sees him or is able to view him. To him be honor and eternal power. Amen. (aiōnios g166)

17 Ha alamiya dureti coo dhayiya shalon otorttonna melanne ceeqqonna mela oda. Nuus koshshiyabaa palahisidi immiya nuna anjjiya, dure Xoossan ammanettana mela entta kiitta. (aiōn g165)

Tell the rich in this world not to be proud, and not to hope in riches, which are uncertain. Instead, they should hope in God. He offers to us all the true riches to enjoy. (aiōn g165)

18 Entti lo77o ooso oothanaada lo77o ooson duretanaada, keehatanne haratas shaakkeyssata gidana mela kiitta.

Tell them to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous, and willing to share.

19 Hessi enttaw sinthas mino baaso gidiya gisho, he wode entti tuma de7oy ay daaniyakko erana.

In that way, they will store up for themselves a good foundation for what is to come, so that they will take hold of real life.

20 Ximotiyoosa, issi issi asay, “Eratethi” giya eeya palamappenne hada odappe baqata; new imettida hadaraa naaga.

Timothy, protect what was given to you. Avoid the foolish talk and conflicting ideas of what is falsely called knowledge.

21 Issoti issoti nuus eratethi de7ees yaagishe ammanuwa aggidosona. Xoossaa aadho keehatethay hintte ubbaara gido.

Some men proclaim these things and so they have missed the faith. May grace be with you.
