Maatoosa 19
1 Yesuusi hessa odi onggidaappe guye, Galiilappe denddidi Yorddaanose Shaafappe hefinthan de7iya Yihuda biittaa bis.
At the conclusion of this teaching, Jesus withdrew from Galilee, and went into that district of Judea which is on the other side of the Jordan.
2 Daro asay iya kaallidi bin entta giddofe hargganchchota pathis.
Great crowds followed him, and he cured them there.
3 Farisaaweti iya paaccanaw koyidi iyaakko yidi, “Issi asi ay gaasonkka ba machchiw yeddanaw bessii?” yaagidi oychchidosona.
Presently some Pharisees came up to him, and, to test him, said, ‘Has a man the right to divorce his wife for every cause?’
4 Yesuusi zaaridi, “Xoossay koyro addenne maccas oothi medhdhidayssa hintte nabbabibeekketii?
‘Haven’t you read,’ replied Jesus, ‘that at the beginning the Creator “made them male and female,”
5 ‘Hessa gisho, Issi asi ba aawanne ba aayiw aggidi ba machcheera issino gidees, nam77ayka issi asho gidoosona.’
and said – “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother, and be united to his wife, and the man and his wife will become one”?
6 Hessa gisho, entti issi asi gidoosonappe attin nam77u asi gidokkona. Hiza, Xoossi qachchidayssa asi shaakkofo” yaagis.
So that they are no longer two, but one. What God himself, then, has yoked together people must not separate.’
7 Farisaaweti, “Yaatin, Musey issi asi anjjo worqqate immidi yeddana mela ays kiittidee?” yaagidi oychchidosona.
‘Why, then,’ they said, ‘did Moses direct that a man should serve his wife with a notice of separation and divorce her?’
8 Yesuusi zaaridi, “Hinttee, hintte machcheta yeddana mela Musey hinttena kiittiday, hintte wozanaa minotethaa gishoppe attin koyroppe hessa mela gidenna.
‘Moses, owing to the hardness of your hearts,’ answered Jesus, ‘permitted you to divorce your wives, but that was not so at the beginning.
9 Ta hinttew odays; ba machchiya laymatonna de7ishin yeddidi hara ekkiya oonikka laammees” yaagis.
But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of some serious sexual sin, and marries another woman, is guilty of adultery.’
10 Iya tamaareti iyaakko, “Azinabaynne machchibay hessa mela gidikko ekko geloy attiko lo77o” yaagidosona.
‘If that,’ said the disciples, ‘is the position of a man with regard to his wife, it is better not to marry.’
11 Yesuusi zaaridi, “Hessa mela timirttey Xoossay dandda7a immidayssatassafe attin asa ubbaassa gidenna.
‘It is not everyone,’ replied Jesus, ‘who can accept this teaching, but only those who have been enabled to do so.
12 Hiza, yelettishe shuufa gididi yelettidayssati de7oosona, qassi asi qaaratidayssati de7oosona, qassi salo kawotethaa gisho gidi banttana shuufaydayssati de7oosona. Hessa gisho, hayssa ekkanaw dandda7iya oonikka ekko” yaagis.
Some men are incapable of marriage because they were born that way, or have been made so by other people, while there are others who stay single for the sake of the kingdom of Heaven. Accept this if you can.’
13 Yesuusi ba kushiya guutha nayta bolla wothidi enttaw woossana mela issi issi asay nayta iyaakko ehidosona. Shin iya tamaareti asaa hanqettidosona.
Then some little children were brought to Jesus, for him to place his hands on them, and pray; but the disciples found fault with those who had brought them.
14 Shin Yesuusi, “Xoossaa kawotethay hayssata melassa gidiya gisho, guutha nayti taakko yeyssa diggofite; yo giite” yaagis.
Jesus, however, said, ‘Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for it is to the childlike that the kingdom of heaven belongs.’
15 Ba kushiya entta bolla wothidaappe guye he bessaafe aggidi bis.
So he placed his hands on them, and then went on his way.
16 Issi gallas issi uray Yesuusakko yidi, “Asttamaariyaw, taani merinaa de7o demmanaw ay lo77obaa ootho?” yaagis. (aiōnios g166)
A man came up to Jesus, and said, ‘Teacher, what good thing must I do to obtain eternal life?’ (aiōnios g166)
17 Yesuusi iyaakko, “Lo77obaa ne tana ays oychchay? Issi Xoossaafe attin hari lo77oy baawa. Shin neeni merinaa de7uwa ekkanaw koykko kiitata naaga” yaagis.
‘Why ask me about goodness?’ answered Jesus. ‘There is but One who is good. If you want to enter the life, keep the commandments.’
18 Uray zaaridi, “Awussa kiitata” yaagidi oychchis. Yesuusi zaaridi, “Wodhoppa, laymatoppa, kaysotoppa, worddo markkattofa,
‘What commandments?’ asked the man. ‘These,’ answered Jesus, – ‘“You must not kill. You must not commit adultery. You must not steal. You must not say what is false about others.
19 ne aawanne ne aayiw bonchcha, ne shooruwa ne huu7iyatho dosa” yaagis.
Honour your father and your mother.” And “You must love your neighbour as you love yourself.”’
20 He na7atethay, “Taani hayssata ubbaa na7atethafe doomada naagas. Yaatin, hari taw pacciyabay aybee?” yaagidi oychchis.
‘I have observed all these,’ said the young man. ‘What is still wanting in me?’
21 Yesuusi zaaridi, “Neeni polo gidanaw koykko bada new de7iyabaa bayzada manqotas imma; neeni salon duretana. Yaata simma yada tana kaalla” yaagis.
‘If you wish to be perfect,’ answered Jesus, ‘go and sell your property, and give to the poor, and you will have wealth in heaven; then come and follow me.’
22 Shin he naatetha uray daro dure gidiya gisho, hessa si7ida wode azzanishe aggidi bis.
On hearing these words, the young man went away distressed, for he had great possessions.
23 Hessafe guye, Yesuusi ba tamaareta, “Taani hinttew tuma odays; durey salo kawotethi gelanayssi daro meto.
At this, Jesus said to his disciples, ‘I tell you that a rich person will find it hard to enter the kingdom of heaven!
24 Dure asi Xoossaa kawotethaa gelanayssafe gimaley marppe luhora aadhdheyssi kawuyees” yaagis.
I say again, it is easier for a camel to get through a needle’s eye than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven!’
25 Yesuusa tamaareti hessa si7idi malaalettidi, “Yaatin, ooni attanaw dandda7ii?” yaagidi oychchidosona.
On hearing this, the disciples exclaimed in great astonishment, ‘Who then can possibly be saved?’
26 Yesuusi entta caddi xeellidi, “Hayssi asas dandda7ettenna, shin Xoossas ubbay dandda7ettees” yaagis.
But Jesus looked at them, and said, ‘With people this is impossible, but with God everything is possible.’ Then Peter turned and said to Jesus,
27 Phexiroosi zaaridi, “Nuuni ubbabaa aggidi nena kaallida. Yaatin, nuuni ay demmanee?” yaagis.
‘But we – we left everything, and followed you; what, then, will we have?’
28 Yesuusi enttako hayssada yaagis: “Taani hinttew tuma odays; Asa Na7ay yaana alamiyan ba bonchcho araatan uttiya wode hintte tammanne nam77ati, tana kaallidayssati, tammanne nam77u araatan uttidi tammanne nam77u Isra7eele zerethata bolla pirddana.
‘I tell you,’ answered Jesus, ‘that at the new creation, when the Son of Man takes his seat on his throne of glory, you who followed me will be seated on twelve thrones, as judges of the twelve tribes of Israel.
29 Ta sunthaa gisho keethe woykko ishata woykko michcheta woykko aawa woykko aayiw woykko nayta woykko gadiya aggiday oonikka xeetu kushe ekkana. Qassi merinaa de7uwakka ekkana. (aiōnios g166)
Everyone who has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or children, or land, for my sake, will receive many times as much, and will gain eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
30 Shin daroti ha77i dethan sinthe gididayssati guye gidana, qassi guye gididayssati sinthe gidana” yaagis.
But many who are first now will then be last, and those who are last will be first.
