4:1
Χριστοῦ οὖν παθόντος σαρκὶ καὶ ὑμεῖς τὴν αὐτὴν ἔννοιαν ὁπλίσασθε, ὅτι ὁ παθὼν σαρκὶ πέπαυται ἁμαρτίας,
Christo igitur passo in carne, et vos eadem cogitatione armamini : quia qui passus est in carne, desiit a peccatis :
ወእመሰ ክርስቶስ ተሰቅለ በሥጋሁ በእንቲኣነ ወአንትሙኒ ተወልተዉ በይእቲ ኅሊና እስመ ዘሐመ በሥጋሁ ድኅነ እምኀጣውኡ።
Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind; for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,
4:2
εἰς τὸ μηκέτι ἀνθρώπων ἐπιθυμίαις ἀλλὰ θελήματι θεοῦ τὸν ἐπίλοιπον ἐν σαρκὶ βιῶσαι χρόνον.
ut jam non desideriis hominum, sed voluntati Dei, quod reliquum est in carne vivat temporis.
ከመ ኢይሕየው እንከ በፍትወተ ሥጋ አላ በፈቃዱ ለእግዚአብሔር ይፈጽም ተረፈ ሕይወቱ በሥጋሁ።
that you no longer should live the rest of your time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.
4:3
ἀρκετὸς γὰρ ὁ παρεληλυθὼς χρόνος τὸ βούλημα τῶν ἐθνῶν κατειργάσθαι, πεπορευμένους ἐν ἀσελγείαις, ἐπιθυμίαις, οἰνοφλυγίαις, κώμοις, πότοις, καὶ ἀθεμίτοις εἰδωλολατρίαις.
Sufficit enim praeteritum tempus ad voluntatem gentium consummandam his qui ambulaverunt in luxuriis, desideriis, vinolentiis, comessationibus, potationibus, et illicitis idolorum cultibus.
እስመ የአክለክሙ ዘኀለፈ መዋዕል ዘገበርክሙ ቦቱ ፈቃዶሙ ለአሕዛብ ዝሙተ ወፍትወተ ወስክረተ ወስጥየተ ወስታየ ዘእንበለ ግዕዝ ወአፍቅሮ አማልክት።
For we have spent enough of our past time doing the desire of the Gentiles, and having walked in lewdness, lusts, drunken binges, orgies, carousings, and abominable idolatries.
4:4
ἐν ᾧ ξενίζονται μὴ συντρεχόντων ὑμῶν εἰς τὴν αὐτὴν τῆς ἀσωτίας ἀνάχυσιν, βλασφημοῦντες·
In quo admirantur non concurrentibus vobis in eamdem luxuriae confusionem, blasphemantes.
ዑቁ እንከ ውስተ ዝንቱ ምግባር ኢትሩጹ ወነኪራነ ኩኑ እምኔሃ ለይእቲ ፍኖት ወእምነ ውእቱ ምግባር ዘአልቦ ዐቅም ወናሁ ሰብእ እምኔሆሙ ያነክሩ በእንቲኣክሙ ወይፀርፉ ላዕሌክሙ ሶበ ይሬእዩክሙ ዘኢትሳተፍዎሙ ውስተ ውእቱ ምግባር ዘትካት።
They think it is strange that you don’t run with them into the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you.
4:5
οἳ ἀποδώσουσιν λόγον τῷ ἑτοίμως ἔχοντι κρῖναι ζῶντας καὶ νεκρούς.
Qui reddent rationem ei qui paratus est judicare vivos et mortuos.
እሉኬ እለ ሀለዎሙ ያግብኡ ሐሳበ ለዘሀለወ ድልወ ይኰንኖሙ ለሕያዋን ወለምዉታን።
They will give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
4:6
εἰς τοῦτο γὰρ καὶ νεκροῖς εὐηγγελίσθη ἵνα κριθῶσι μὲν κατὰ ἀνθρώπους σαρκὶ ζῶσι δὲ κατὰ θεὸν πνεύματι.
Propter hoc enim et mortuis evangelizatum est : ut judicentur quidem secundum homines in carne, vivant autem secundum Deum in spiritu.
ወበእንተ ዝንቱ ዜንውዎሙ ለምዉታን ከመ ይትኰነኑ በሥጋሆሙ በሕገ ዕጓለ እመሕያው ወይሕየዉ በመንፈሶሙ በሕገ እግዚአብሔር።
For to this end the Good News was preached even to the dead, that they might be judged indeed as men in the flesh, but live as to God in the spirit.
4:7
Πάντων δὲ τὸ τέλος ἤγγικεν. σωφρονήσατε οὖν καὶ νήψατε εἰς προσευχάς·
Omnium autem finis appropinquavit. Estote itaque prudentes, et vigilate in orationibus.
እስመ ቀርበ ማኅለቅቱ ለኵሉ አንጽሑ ልበክሙ ወጸሐዉ ለጸሎት።
But the end of all things is near. Therefore be of sound mind, self-controlled, and sober in prayer.
4:8
πρὸ πάντων τὴν εἰς ἑαυτοὺς ἀγάπην ἐκτενῆ ἔχοντες, ὅτι ἀγάπη καλύπτει πλῆθος ἁμαρτιῶν·
Ante omnia autem, mutuam in vobismetipsis caritatem continuam habentes : quia caritas operit multitudinem peccatorum.
ወእምኵሉሰ ዘይቀድም ተፋቀሩ በበይናቲክሙ በምልአ ልብክሙ እስመ ተፋቅሮ ይደፍኖን ወይደመስሶን ለኵሎን ኀጣውእ።
And above all things be earnest in your love among yourselves, for love covers a multitude of sins.
4:9
φιλόξενοι εἰς ἀλλήλους ἄνευ γογγυσμοῦ·
Hospitales invicem sine murmuratione.
ወአፍቅሩ ነግደ እንዘ ኢታስተዓፅቡ።
Be hospitable to one another without grumbling.
4:10
ἕκαστος καθὼς ἔλαβεν χάρισμα, εἰς ἑαυτοὺς αὐτὸ διακονοῦντες ὡς καλοὶ οἰκονόμοι ποικίλης χάριτος θεοῦ.
Unusquisque, sicut accepit gratiam, in alterutrum illam administrantes, sicut boni dispensatores multiformis gratiae Dei.
ወኵልክሙ በከመ ነሣእክሙ ፍቶ ለእግዚአብሔር በበይናቲክሙ ተለአኩ ከመ ኄር ላእክ እስመ ለለ አሐዱ ዘዘዚኣሁ ዕሴቱ እምኀበ እግዚአብሔር።
As each has received a gift, employ it in serving one another, as good managers of the grace of God in its various forms.
4:11
εἴ τις λαλεῖ, ὡς λόγια θεοῦ· εἴ τις διακονεῖ, ὡς ἐξ ἰσχύος ἧς χορηγεῖ ὁ θεός· ἵνα ἐν πᾶσιν δοξάζηται ὁ θεὸς διὰ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, ᾧ ἐστιν ἡ δόξα καὶ τὸ κράτος εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων· ἀμήν.
Si quis loquitur, quasi sermones Dei : si quis ministrat, tamquam ex virtute, quam administrat Deus : ut in omnibus honorificetur Deus per Jesum Christum : cui est gloria et imperium in saecula saeculorum. Amen.
ወእለሂ ትሜህሩ መሀሩ ቃሎ ለእግዚአብሔር ወዘኒ ይትለአክ ለይትለአክ በኀይለ እግዚአብሔር ዘወሀቦ ከመ በኵሉ ይሰባሕ እግዚአብሔር በኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ ዘሎቱ ስብሐት ወኀይል ለዓለመ ዓለም አሜን።
If anyone speaks, let it be as it were the very words of God. If anyone serves, let it be as of the strength which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
4:12
Ἀγαπητοί, μὴ ξενίζεσθε τῇ ἐν ὑμῖν πυρώσει πρὸς πειρασμὸν ὑμῖν γινομένῃ ὡς ξένου ὑμῖν συμβαίνοντος,
Carissimi, nolite peregrinari in fervore, qui ad tentationem vobis fit, quasi novi aliquid vobis contingat :
አኀዊነ ኢታንክርዋ ለእንተ ትመጽአክሙ መከራ ከመ ዘነኪር ግብር ዘይከውን ብክሙ ዳእሙ ይእቲ ወዘኢትለምዱሰ ይበጽሐክሙ።
Beloved, don’t be astonished at the fiery trial which has come upon you to test you, as though a strange thing happened to you.
4:13
ἀλλὰ καθὸ κοινωνεῖτε τοῖς τοῦ Χριστοῦ παθήμασιν χαίρετε, ἵνα καὶ ἐν τῇ ἀποκαλύψει τῆς δόξης αὐτοῦ χαρῆτε ἀγαλλιώμενοι.
sed communicantes Christi passionibus gaudete, ut et in revelatione gloriae ejus gaudeatis exsultantes.
ዳእሙ ከመ ትሳተፍዎ በሕማሙ ለክርስቶስ ወትትፈሥሑ ከመ አመ ያስተርኢ በስብሐቲሁ ትትሐሠዩ ፍሡሓኒክሙ።
But because you are partakers of Christ’s sufferings, rejoice, that at the revelation of his glory you also may rejoice with exceeding joy.
4:14
εἰ ὀνειδίζεσθε ἐν ὀνόματι Χριστοῦ, μακάριοι, ὅτι τὸ τῆς δόξης καὶ τὸ τοῦ θεοῦ πνεῦμα ἐφ’ ὑμᾶς ἀναπαύεται.
Si exprobramini in nomine Christi, beati eritis : quoniam quod est honoris, gloriae, et virtutis Dei, et qui est ejus Spiritus, super vos requiescit.
ወእመሰ ቦ ዘተዐየሩክሙ በእንተ ስሙ ለክርስቶስ ብፁዓን አንትሙ እስመ ስብሐቲሁ ወኀይሉ ለእግዚአብሔር ወመንፈሱ የዐርፍ ላዕሌክሙ።
If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. On their part he is blasphemed, but on your part he is glorified.
4:15
μὴ γάρ τις ὑμῶν πασχέτω ὡς φονεὺς ἢ κλέπτης ἢ κακοποιὸς ἢ ὡς ἀλλοτριεπίσκοπος·
Nemo autem vestrum patiatur ut homicida, aut fur, aut maledicus, aut alienorum appetitor.
አልቦ ዘየሐምም እምውስቴትክሙ አው ከመ ቀታሊ አው ከመ ሰራቂ አው ከመ ዘእኩይ ምግባሩ አው ከመ ዘባዕደ ያፈቅር ወይፈቱ።
But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil doer, or a meddler in other men’s matters.
4:16
εἰ δὲ ὡς Χριστιανός, μὴ αἰσχυνέσθω, δοξαζέτω δὲ τὸν θεὸν ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι τούτῳ.
Si autem ut christianus, non erubescat : glorificet autem Deum in isto nomine :
ወእመሰ ከመ ክርስቲያናዊ ኢትኅፈሩ አላ ሰብሕዎ ለእግዚአብሔር በዝንቱ ስም።
But if one of you suffers for being a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God in this matter.
4:17
ὅτι καιρὸς τοῦ ἄρξασθαι τὸ κρίμα ἀπὸ τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ θεοῦ· εἰ δὲ πρῶτον ἀφ’ ἡμῶν, τί τὸ τέλος τῶν ἀπειθούντων τῷ τοῦ θεοῦ εὐαγγελίῳ;
quoniam tempus est ut incipiat judicium a domo Dei. Si autem primum a nobis, quis finis eorum, qui non credunt Dei Evangelio ?
እስመ በጽሐ ጊዜሁ ለፍዳ ዘያቀድም እምነ ቤቱ ለእግዚአብሔር ወእመሰ ኮነ እምኀቤነ አቅድሞቱ ምንተ እንከ ይከውን ደኃሪቶሙ ለእለ ይክሕድዎ ለወንጌሉ ለእግዚአብሔር።
For the time has come for judgment to begin with the household of God. If it begins first with us, what will happen to those who don’t obey the Good News of God?
4:18
καὶ εἰ ὁ δίκαιος μόλις σῴζεται, ὁ ἀσεβὴς καὶ ἁμαρτωλὸς ποῦ φανεῖται;
et si justus vix salvabitur, impius et peccator ubi parebunt ?
ወሶበ ጻድቅ እምዕፁብ ይድኅን ኃጥእ ወዐማፂ በአይቴ ያስተርኢ ሀለዎ።
“If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will happen to the ungodly and the sinner?”
4:19
ὥστε καὶ οἱ πάσχοντες κατὰ τὸ θέλημα τοῦ θεοῦ πιστῷ κτίστῃ παρατιθέσθωσαν τὰς ψυχὰς αὐτῶν ἐν ἀγαθοποιΐᾳ.
Itaque et hi, qui patiuntur secundum voluntatem Dei, fideli Creatori commendent animas suas in benefactis.
ወእለኒ የሐምሙ በእንተ ፈቃዱ ለእግዚአብሔር ያማሕፅኑ ነፍሶሙ ኀበ ምእመን ፈጣሪ በገቢረ ሠናይ።
Therefore let them also who suffer according to the will of God in doing good entrust their souls to him, as to a faithful Creator.
