Luke 18
1 He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray, and not give up,
Yesuusis akka isaan yeroo hunda kadhachuu qabanii fi akka isaan abdii hin kutanne isaan barsiisuuf jedhee fakkeenya tokko barattoota isaatti hime.
2 saying, "There was a judge in a certain city who did not fear God, and did not respect people.
Innis akkana jedhe; “Magaalaa tokko keessa abbaa murtii kan Waaqa hin sodaanne, namas kan hin kabajne tokkotu ture.
3 A widow was in that city, and she often came to him, saying, 'Give me justice against my adversary.'
Haati hiyyeessaa tokkos magaalaa sana keessa turte; isheenis, ‘Diina koo irratti murtii qajeelaa naa kenni’ jettee isatti deddeebiʼaa turte.
4 He would not for a while, but afterward he said to himself, 'Though I neither fear God, nor respect people,
“Innis yeroo gabaabaaf didee ture; ergasii garuu akkana jedhee garaa isaatti yaade; ‘Ani yoon Waaqa hin sodaanne illee, yoon namas hin kabajne illee,
5 yet because this widow bothers me, I will give her justice, or else she will wear me out by her continual coming.'"
sababii niitiin kun deddeebitee na rakkiftuuf murtii qajeelaa nan kennaaf; yoo kanaa achii deddeebitee na dadhabsiifti.’”
6 The Lord said, "Listen to what the unrighteous judge says.
Gooftaanis akkana jedhe; “Egaa waan abbichii murtii dabaan sun jedhu dhagaʼaa;
7 Won't God avenge his chosen ones, who are crying out to him day and night, and yet he exercises patience with them?
Waaqni immoo filatamtoota isaa warra halkanii guyyaa gara isaatti iyyataniif murtii qajeelaa hin kennuu? Isaan duraa tursaa ree?
8 I tell you that he will avenge them quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?"
Ani isinittin hima; inni dafee murtii qajeelaa kennaaf; garuu Ilmi Namaa gaafa dhufu lafa irratti amantii ni argataa?”
9 He spoke also this parable to certain people who were convinced of their own righteousness, and who despised all others.
Yesuusis namoota qajeelummaa ofiitti amananii warra kaan immoo tuffatanitti akkana jedhee fakkeenya kana hime.
10 "Two men went up into the temple to pray; one was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector.
“Namoonni lama Waaqa kadhachuuf gara mana qulqullummaatti ol baʼan; isaanis Fariisicha tokkoo fi nama qaraxa walitti qabu tokko turan.
11 The Pharisee stood and prayed to himself like this: 'God, I thank you, that I am not like other people, extortioners, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.
Fariisichi kaʼee dhaabatee, waaʼee mataa isaa akkana jedhee kadhate; ‘Yaa Waaqayyo, ani akka namoota kaanii jechuunis akka saamtotaa, jalʼootaa fi sagaagaltootaa keessumattuu waan akka namicha qaraxa walitti qabu kanaa hin taʼiniif sin galateeffadha.
12 I fast twice a week. I give tithes of all that I get.'
Ani torbanitti yeroo lama nan sooma; waanan argadhu hundumaa irraas harka kudhan keessaa tokko nan kenna.’
13 But the tax collector, standing far away, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful to me, a sinner.'
“Namichi qaraxa walitti qabu sun garuu fagoo dhaabate, qoma isaa dhadhaʼaa, ‘Yaa Waaqayyo, ani nama cubbamaadhaatii naa naʼi!’ jedhe malee ija isaatiin illee ol jedhee gara samii hin ilaalle.
14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted."
“Ani isinittin hima; namichi kun namicha duraa irra fuula Waaqaa duratti qajeelaa taʼee mana isaatti gale. Namni ol of qabu hundinuu gad qabamaatii; namni gad of qabu garuu ol qabama.”
15 Now they were also bringing their babies to him, that he might touch them. But when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
Namoonni akka inni harka isaan irra kaaʼuuf daaʼimmanis Yesuusitti fidaa turan. Barattoonni garuu yommuu waan kana arganitti isaan ifatan.
16 Jesus summoned them, saying, "Allow the little children to come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
Yesuus garuu ijoollee sana ofitti waamee akkana jedhe; “Ijoolleen xixinnoon gara koo haa dhufaniitii hin dhowwinaa; mootummaan Waaqaa kan warra akkanaatii.
17 Truly, I tell you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child, he will in no way enter into it."
Ani dhuguman isinitti hima; namni akkuma ijoolleetti mootummaa Waaqaa hin simanne kam iyyuu gonkumaa itti hin galu.”
18 A certain ruler asked him, saying, "Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit everlasting life?" (aiōnios g166)
Bulchaan tokko, “Yaa Barsiisaa gaarii, ani jireenya bara baraa dhaaluuf maal gochuun qaba?” jedhee isa gaafate. (aiōnios g166)
19 Jesus asked him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good, except one—God.
Yesuusis akkana jedhee deebise; “Ati maaliif gaarii naan jetta? Waaqa tokkicha malee gaariin hin jiru.
20 You know the commandments: 'Do not commit adultery,' 'Do not murder,' 'Do not steal,' 'Do not give false testimony,' 'Honor your father and your mother.'"
Ati ajajawwan ni beekta; ‘Hin ejjin; hin ajjeesin; hin hatin; sobaan dhugaa hin baʼin; abbaa keetii fi haadha keetiif ulfina kenni.’”
21 And he said, "I have kept all these things from my youth up."
Namichis, “Ani ijoollummaa kootii jalqabee ajajawwan kanneen hunda eegeera” jedhe.
22 When Jesus heard it, he said to him, "You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have, and distribute it to the poor. You will have treasure in heaven. Come, follow me."
Yesuusis yommuu waan kana dhagaʼetti, “Amma illee waan tokkotu si duraa hirʼata; waan qabdu hunda gurgurii hiyyeeyyiif kenni; samii keessatti badhaadhummaa ni qabaattaa. Ergasii kottuu na duukaa buʼi” jedheen.
23 But when he heard these things, he became very sad, for he was very rich.
Inni yommuu waan kana dhagaʼetti baayʼee gadde; akka malee sooressa tureetii.
24 And Jesus looked at him and said, "How hard it is for those who have riches to enter into the kingdom of God.
Yesuusis isa ilaalee akkana jedhe; “Mootummaa Waaqaatti galuun sooreyyiif akkam rakkisaa dha!
25 For it is easier for a camel to enter in through a needle's eye, than for a rich person to enter into the kingdom of God."
Dhugumaan namni sooressi mootummaa Waaqaatti galuu irra qaawwa lilmoo keessa baʼuutu gaalaaf salphata.”
26 Those who heard it said, "Then who can be saved?"
Warri waan kana dhagaʼanis, “Yoos eenyutu fayyuu dandaʼa ree?” jedhanii gaafatan.
27 But he said, "The things which are impossible with man are possible with God."
Yesuusis, “Wanni namaaf hin dandaʼamne, Waaqaaf ni dandaʼama” jedhee deebise.
28 And Peter said, "Look, we have left our own things and followed you."
Phexrosis, “Kunoo, nu waan qabnu hunda dhiifnee si duukaa buuneerra” jedheen.
29 He said to them, "Truly I tell you, there is no one who has left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake,
Yesuus immoo akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Ani dhuguman isinitti hima; namni sababii mootummaa Waaqaatiif jedhee mana yookaan niitii yookaan obboloota yookaan haadhaa fi abbaa yookaan ijoollee dhiisee,
31 He took the twelve aside, and said to them, "Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be completed.
Yesuus warra kudha lamaan kophaatti baasee akkana jedheen; “Kunoo nu Yerusaalemitti ol baʼaa jirra; wanni raajonni waaʼee Ilma Namaa barreessan hundinuus ni raawwatama.
32 For he will be delivered up to the non-Jews, will be mocked, treated shamefully, and spit on.
Inni dabarfamee Namoota Ormaatti ni kennama. Isaanis isatti qoosu; isa arrabsu; isatti tufu; isa garafu; isa ajjeesus.
33 They will scourge and kill him. On the third day, he will rise again."
Innis guyyaa sadaffaatti duʼaa ni kaʼa.”
34 They understood none of these things. This saying was hidden from them, and they did not understand the things that were said.
Barattoonni garuu waan kana hunda keessaa tokko illee hin hubanne; hiikkaan isaas isaan duraa dhokfamee ture. Inni maal akka dubbachaa tures isaaniif hin galle.
35 It happened, as he came near Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the road, begging.
Yeroo Yesuus Yerikootti dhiʼaatetti, namichi jaamaan tokko qarqara karaa taaʼee kadhachaa ture.
36 Hearing a crowd going by, he asked what this meant.
Innis akka tuunni namootaa karaa sana darbaa jiru dhageenyaan, waan taʼaa ture gaafate.
37 They told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
Isaanis, “Yesuus nama Naazreetitu asiin darbaa jira” jedhanii isatti himan.
38 He called out, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me."
Innis, “Yesuus, yaa ilma Daawit, na maari!” jedhee iyye.
39 Those who led the way rebuked him, that he should be quiet; but he shouted all the more, "Son of David, have mercy on me."
Namoonni fuula dura deemaa turanis akka inni calʼisuuf isa ifatan; inni garuu, “Yaa ilma Daawit na maari!” jedhee ittuma caalchisee iyye.
40 Standing still, Jesus commanded him to be brought to him. When he had come near, he asked him,
Yesuusis dhaabatee akka isaan namicha gara isaa fidan ajaje. Yommuu inni gara isaatti dhiʼaatetti Yesuus akkana jedhee isa gaafate;
41 "What do you want me to do?" He said, "Lord, that I may see again."
“Akka ani maal siif godhu barbaadda?” Namichis, “Yaa Gooftaa, ani arguun barbaada” jedhee deebise.
42 Jesus said to him, "Receive your sight. Your faith has healed you."
Yesuusis, “Argi; amantiin kee si fayyiseeraa” jedheen.
43 And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God. All the people, when they saw it, praised God.
Innis yeruma sana argee Waaqa jajachaa Yesuus duukaa buʼe. Namoonni hundinuus yommuu waan kana arganitti Waaqa jajan.
