Luke 12
1 Meanwhile, when a multitude of many thousands had gathered together, so much so that they trampled on each other, he began to tell his disciples first of all, “Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
Gidduu sana yommuu tuunni namoota kuma hedduu tokko hamma isaan wal irra ejjetanitti walitti qabametti, Yesuus duraan dursee barattoota isaatiin akkana jechuu jalqabe; “Raacitii Fariisotaa irraa of eeggadhaa; kunis fakkeessitummaa dha.
2 But there is nothing covered up that will not be revealed, nor hidden that will not be known.
Wanni haguugamee utuu hin mulʼifamin hafu yookaan wanni dhokfamee utuu hin beekamin hafu tokko iyyuu hin jiru.
3 Therefore whatever you have said in the darkness will be heard in the light. What you have spoken in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed on the housetops.
Wanni isin dukkana keessatti dubbattan, ifa guyyaatiin dhagaʼama; wanni isin gola keessatti gurratti hasaastanis bantii manaa irraa labsama.
4 “I tell you, my friends, don’t be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
“Yaa michoota ko, ani isinittin hima; warra dhagna ajjeesanii ergasii immoo kana caalaa homaa gochuu hin dandeenye hin sodaatinaa.
5 But I will warn you whom you should fear. Fear him who after he has killed, has power to cast into Gehenna. Yes, I tell you, fear him. (Geenna g1067)
Ani garuu kan isin sodaachuu qabdan isinittin argisiisa; isa erga ajjeesee booddee gahaannamitti darbachuudhaaf taayitaa qabu sana sodaadhaa; eeyyee, ani isinittin hima; isa sodaadhaa. (Geenna g1067)
6 “Aren’t five sparrows sold for two assaria coins? Not one of them is forgotten by God.
Daaloteen shan saantima lamatti gurguramu mitii? Isaan keessaa garuu tokko iyyuu Waaqni hin irraanfatu.
7 But the very hairs of your head are all counted. Therefore don’t be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows.
Dhugumaanuu rifeensi mataa keessanii hundi lakkaaʼameera. Hin sodaatinaa; isin daalotee hedduu caalaa gatii qabduutii.
8 “I tell you, everyone who confesses me before men, the Son of Man will also confess before the angels of God;
“Ani isinittin hima; nama fuula namootaa duratti ifaan ifatti dhugaa naa baʼu kamiif iyyuu, Ilmi Namaas fuula ergamoota Waaqaa duratti dhugaa ni baʼa.
9 but he who denies me in the presence of men will be denied in the presence of God’s angels.
Namni fuula namootaa duratti na ganu kam iyyuu garuu fuula ergamoota Waaqaa duratti ni ganama.
10 Everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but those who blaspheme against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.
Nama Ilma Namaatiin mormee jecha tokko dubbatu hundaaf ni dhiifama; nama Hafuura Qulqulluudhaan mormee dubbatu kamiif iyyuu garuu hin dhiifamu.
11 When they bring you before the synagogues, the rulers, and the authorities, don’t be anxious how or what you will answer or what you will say;
“Yommuu manneen sagadaa, bulchitootaa fi abbootii taayitaa duratti dhiʼeeffamtanitti akkamitti akka falmattan yookaan maal akka jettan hin yaaddaʼinaa.
12 for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that same hour what you must say.”
Hafuurri Qulqulluun yeruma sana Waan isin jechuu qabdan isin barsiisaatii.”
13 One of the multitude said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”
Tuuta sana keessaa namichi tokko, “Yaa Barsiisaa, akka obboleessi koo dhaala naa hiruuf maaloo itti naa dubbadhu” jedheen.
14 But he said to him, “Man, who made me a judge or an arbitrator over you?”
Yesuus garuu deebisee, “Namana, eenyutu isin gidduutti abbaa murtii yookaan hirtuu dhaalaa na godhe?” jedheen.
15 He said to them, “Beware! Keep yourselves from covetousness, for a man’s life doesn’t consist of the abundance of the things which he possesses.”
Innis, “Ilaalladhaa! Doqnummaa hunda irraas of eegaa; jireenyi nama tokkoo baayʼina qabeenya isaatiin hin murteeffamuutii” jedheen.
16 He spoke a parable to them, saying, “The ground of a certain rich man produced abundantly.
Innis akkana jedhee fakkeenya kana isaanitti hime; “Lafti qotiisaa namicha sooressa tokkoo midhaan guddaa kenneef.
17 He reasoned within himself, saying, ‘What will I do, because I don’t have room to store my crops?’
Namichi sunis, ‘Ani waan lafan itti midhaan koo galfadhu hin qabneef maal gochuu naa wayya?’ jedhee garaa isaatti yaade.
18 He said, ‘This is what I will do. I will pull down my barns, build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.
“Innis akkana jedhe; ‘Wanni ani godhu kana; gombisaa koo diigee guddaa isaa nan ijaarradha; midhaan koo fi miʼa koo hunda achittin kuufadha.
19 I will tell my soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years. Take your ease, eat, drink, and be merry.”’
Lubbuu kootiinis, “Yaa lubbuu ko, ati waan gaarii hedduu kan waggaa baayʼeef kuufame qabda; boqodhu; nyaadhu; dhugi; gammadis” nan jedha.’
20 “But God said to him, ‘You foolish one, tonight your soul is required of you. The things which you have prepared—whose will they be?’
“Waaqni garuu, ‘Yaa gowwicha, edanuma lubbuu kee sirraa fudhachuu barbaadu; egaa wanni ati walitti qabatte sun kan eenyuu taʼa?’ jedheen.
21 So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”
“Kanaafuu namni ofii isaatiif badhaadhummaa kuufatee fuula Waaqaa duratti immoo hin sooromin kam iyyuu akkasuma taʼa.”
22 He said to his disciples, “Therefore I tell you, don’t be anxious for your life, what you will eat, nor yet for your body, what you will wear.
Yesuusis barattoota isaatiin akkana jedhe; “Kanaafuu ani isinittin hima; ‘maal nyaanna?’ jettanii waaʼee jireenya keessanii hin yaaddaʼinaa; yookaan ‘maal uffanna?’ jettanii waaʼee dhagna keessanii hin yaaddaʼinaa.
23 Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.
Jireenyi nyaata caala; dhagnis uffata caalaatii.
24 Consider the ravens: they don’t sow, they don’t reap, they have no warehouse or barn, and God feeds them. How much more valuable are you than birds!
Mee arraageyyii ilaalaa: Isaan hin facaafatan yookaan hin haammatan; gombisaa yookaan gumbii hin qaban; taʼus Waaqni isaan soora. Isin immoo hammam simbirroota caalaa gatii guddaa qabdu!
25 Which of you by being anxious can add a cubit to his height?
Isin keessaa namni yaaddaʼuudhaan hojjaa isaa irratti dhundhuma tokko dabalachuu dandaʼu eenyu?
26 If then you aren’t able to do even the least things, why are you anxious about the rest?
Yoos isin erga waan xinnoo akkasii illee godhachuu hin dandeenye, maaliif waan biraaf yaaddoftu ree?
27 Consider the lilies, how they grow. They don’t toil, neither do they spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
“Daraaraawwan bosonaa akkamitti akka guddatan mee ilaalaa; isaan hin dhamaʼan yookaan hin foʼan. Ani garuu isinittin hima; Solomoon iyyuu ulfina isaa hunda keessatti, akka tokkoo isaaniitti hin uffanne.
28 But if this is how God clothes the grass in the field, which today exists and tomorrow is cast into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith?
Isin yaa warra amantii xinnoo nana! Waaqni erga marga dirree kan harʼa jiruu fi kan bor immoo ibiddatti naqamutti iyyuu akkasitti uffisee, isinitti immoo hammam kana caalaa haa uffisuu ree.
29 “Don’t seek what you will eat or what you will drink; neither be anxious.
Qalbii keessan waan nyaattan irra yookaan waan dhugdan irra hin kaaʼatinaa; waaʼee isaas hin yaaddaʼinaa.
30 For the nations of the world seek after all of these things, but your Father knows that you need these things.
Addunyaan ormootaa waan kana hunda ni barbaaduutii; Abbaan keessan akka wanni kun hundinuu isin barbaachisu ni beeka.
31 But seek God’s Kingdom, and all these things will be added to you.
Garuu mootummaa isaa barbaadaa; wanni kun akkasuma isiniif kennama.
32 “Don’t be afraid, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.
“Isin karra xinnoo nana, hin sodaatinaa; Abbaan keessan mootummaa isinii kennuu jaallateeraatii.
33 Sell what you have and give gifts to the needy. Make for yourselves purses which don’t grow old, a treasure in the heavens that doesn’t fail, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys.
Waan qabdan gurguraatii hiyyeeyyiif kennaa. Korojoo hin moofofne, qabeenya dhuma hin qabnes samii irratti, iddoo hattuun itti hin dhiʼaannee fi biliinis hin balleessinetti ofii keessaniif kuufadhaa.
34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Idduma badhaadhummaan keessan jiru sana garaan keessanis jiraatii.
35 “Let your waist be dressed and your lamps burning.
“Tajaajilaaf hidhadhaatii qophaaʼaa; ibsaa keessanis ibsadhaa;
36 Be like men watching for their lord when he returns from the wedding feast, that when he comes and knocks, they may immediately open to him.
akkuma namoota yommuu Gooftaan isaanii cidha fuudhaa fi heerumaatii galee balbala dhadhaʼutti dafanii isaaf banuuf jedhanii qophaaʼanii isa eeganii taʼaa.
37 Blessed are those servants whom the lord will find watching when he comes. Most certainly I tell you that he will dress himself, make them recline, and will come and serve them.
Garboonni gooftaan isaanii yeroo galutti isaanii dammaqanii jiran argu sun eebbifamoo dha; ani dhuguman isinitti hima; inni marxifatee akka isaan nyaataaf taaʼan ni godha; dhufees isaan tajaajila.
38 They will be blessed if he comes in the second or third watch and finds them so.
Garboonni gooftaan isaanii halkanicha keessaa kutaa lammaffaatti yookaan kutaa sadaffaatti dhufee akkasuma isaanii dammaqanii jiran isaan argu sun eebbifamoo dha.
39 But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into.
Garuu waan kana hubadhaa: Abbichi manaa utuu saʼaatii kamitti akka hattuun dhuftu beekee, silaa akka manni isaa cabsamee seenamu itti hin dhiisu ture.
40 Therefore be ready also, for the Son of Man is coming in an hour that you don’t expect him.”
Isinis akkasuma qophaaʼuu qabdu; Ilmi Namaa saʼaatii isin hin eegnetti dhufaatii.”
41 Peter said to him, “Lord, are you telling this parable to us, or to everybody?”
Phexrosis, “Yaa Gooftaa, ati fakkeenya kana nu qofatti moo nama hundumatti himta?” jedhee gaafate.
42 The Lord said, “Who then is the faithful and wise steward, whom his lord will set over his household, to give them their portion of food at the right times?
Gooftaanis akkana jedhee deebise; “Egaa hojii adeemsisaan amanamaa fi ogeessi kan gooftaan isaa akka inni nyaata isaanii yeroo malutti isaanii kennuuf jedhee garboota isaa irratti isa muudu eenyu?
43 Blessed is that servant whom his lord will find doing so when he comes.
Garbichi gooftaan isaa yommuu deebiʼutti utuu inni akkasuma hojjetuu isa argu sun eebbifamaa dha.
44 Truly I tell you that he will set him over all that he has.
Ani dhuguma isinitti nan hima; inni qabeenya isaa hunda irratti isa muuda.
45 But if that servant says in his heart, ‘My lord delays his coming,’ and begins to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and drink and to be drunken,
Garbichi sun garuu yoo, ‘Gooftaan koo dhufuuf yeroo dheeraa tura’ ofiin jedhee, garboota dhiiraatii fi dubartootaa tumuu jalqabe, yoo nyaatee dhugee machaaʼe,
46 then the lord of that servant will come in a day when he isn’t expecting him and in an hour that he doesn’t know, and will cut him in two, and place his portion with the unfaithful.
gooftaan garbicha sanaa guyyaa inni isa hin eegnee fi saʼaatii inni hin beeknetti ni dhufa. Innis isa kukkuta; warra hin amanne keessattis isa ramada.
47 That servant who knew his lord’s will, and didn’t prepare nor do what he wanted, will be beaten with many stripes,
“Garbichi utuu fedhii gooftaa isaa beekuu hin qophoofne yookaan waan gooftaan isaa barbaadu hin hojjenne sun akka malee tumama.
48 but he who didn’t know, and did things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with few stripes. To whomever much is given, of him will much be required; and to whom much was entrusted, of him more will be asked.
Nama utuu hin beekin waan isa adabamsiisu hojjete garuu adaba salphaatu isa irra gaʼa. Nama wanni baayʼeen itti kenname hunda irraa waan baayʼeetu eegama; nama imaanaan guddaan itti kenname irraa immoo kan caalutu barbaadama.
49 “I came to throw fire on the earth. I wish it were already kindled.
“Ani ibidda lafa irra buusuufin dhufe; utuu inni ammuma iyyuu qabatee ani akkam hawwa!
50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!
Garuu cuuphaa ani cuuphamu tokkotu jira; hamma inni raawwatamutti ani akka malee nan dhiphadha!
51 Do you think that I have come to give peace in the earth? I tell you, no, but rather division.
Isin waan ani lafa irratti nagaa buusuuf dhufe seetuu? Akkas miti; ani isinittin hima; ani gargar baʼuu fiduufan dhufe malee nagaa buusuuf hin dhufne.
52 For from now on, there will be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
Siʼachi maatiin nama shan qabu tokko gargar qoodama; namni sadii nama lamatti kaʼa; namni lama immoo nama sadiitti kaʼa.
53 They will be divided, father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against her mother; mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.”
Abbaan ilmatti, ilmi abbaatti, haati intalatti, intalli haadhatti, amaatiin niitii ilmaatti, niitiin ilmaas amaatii isheetti kaʼuudhaan gargar baʼu.”
54 He said to the multitudes also, “When you see a cloud rising from the west, immediately you say, ‘A shower is coming,’ and so it happens.
Yesuusis tuuta sanaan akkana jedhe; “Isin yommuu duumessa karaa lixa biiftuutiin ol baʼu argitanitti yeruma sana, ‘Bokkaan ni rooba’ jettu; innis ni rooba.
55 When a south wind blows, you say, ‘There will be a scorching heat,’ and it happens.
Yommuu bubbeen kibbaa bubbisutti immoo, ‘Ni hoʼa’ jettu; innis ni hoʼa.
56 You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky, but how is it that you don’t interpret this time?
Fakkeessitoota nana! Isin bifa lafaatii fi samiitiif hiikkaa kennuu ni beektu. Bara ammaa kanaaf immoo hiikkaa kennuu akkamitti wallaaltu?
57 “Why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right?
“Isin maaliif ofuma keessanii waan qajeelaa hin murteessine?
58 For when you are going with your adversary before the magistrate, try diligently on the way to be released from him, lest perhaps he drag you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison.
Ati yommuu amajaajii kee wajjin gara abbaa murtii dhaqxutti, karuma irratti isaan walitti araaramuu cimsii yaali; yoo kanaa achii amajaajiin kee abbaa seeraatti si geessa; abbaan seeraas dabarsee poolisiitti si kenna; poolisiin immoo mana hidhaatti si darbata.
59 I tell you, you will by no means get out of there until you have paid the very last penny.”
Ani sitti nan hima; ati hamma saantima ishee dhumaa of irraa baaftutti achii hin baatu.”
