Luke 14
1 One (Jewish day of rest/Sabbath day), Jesus went to eat [SYN] at the house of an important Pharisee. Some [men who studied the Jewish] laws and other Pharisees who were there were watching him carefully [to see if he would do something for which they could accuse him].
Issi Sambbaata gallas Yesuusi issi Farisaaweta halaqaa soo kathi maanaw geliya wode asay caddi xeellosona.
2 Unexpectedly, there was a man in front of Jesus whose arms and legs were swollen.
He bessan shawuhe harggen waayettiya issi asi iyaw sintha baggara zin77is.
3 Jesus said to them, “Is it permitted in [our(inc)] Jewish laws to heal [someone] (on our Jewish rest day/on the Sabbath), or not?”
Yesuusi Farisaawetakkonne higge asttamaaretakko, “Sambbaata gallas hargganchcho pasoy wogeyye woga gidennee?” yaagidi oychchis.
4 [They knew that their laws permitted it, but they thought that healing was work, which they thought was wrong to do] (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day) (OR, [they knew that their laws permitted it, but they did not want to admit it]). So they did not reply. Then Jesus put his hands on the man and healed him. Then he told him to go [home].
Entti si7i gidosona. Yesuusi harggettiya uraa bochchi pathidi moyzis.
5 Then he said to the rest of them, “If you had a son or an ox that fell into a well on a (Sabbath/our day of rest), would you immediately [work to] pull him out, [or would you(sg) let him stay there until the next day]?”
“Qassika hinttefe issuwas na7i woykko boori Sambbaata gallas aafon wulliko ellesidi kessonnay oonee?”
6 [They knew that they would immediately work to pull him out, even on their day of rest, so they could not justly say that Jesus did wrong by healing the man on that day. So] they said nothing in reply to Jesus.
Entti issibaakka zaaranaw dandda7ibookkona.
7 Jesus noticed that those people who had been {whom [the Pharisee] had} invited [to the meal] chose [to sit in] the places where important [people usually sit]. Then he gave [this advice] to them:
Yesuusi imatuwas xeegettidayssati bonchcho bessi doorishin be7idi, ha leemisuwa odis.
8 “When one of you [(sg)] is invited by someone {someone invites one of you [(sg)]} to a wedding feast, do not sit in a place where important people sit. Perhaps the man [giving the feast] has invited a man more important than you [(sg)].
“Issi asi nena yaagano xeegikko bonchcho bessan uttofa. Neeppe aadhdhi bonchchettiya asi xeegettanaw dandda7ees.
9 [When that man comes], the man who invited both of you will come to you [(sg)] and say to you, ‘Let this man take your seat!’ Then you [(sg)] will have to take the most undesirable seat, and you will be ashamed.
Hinttena nam77atakka xeegidayssi yidi, ‘Ne bessaa ha imathaas yedda’ yaagiya wode neeni yeellatashe ziqqa bessi wodhdhaasa.
10 Instead, when you are invited {[someone] invites one of you} [to a feast], go and sit in the most undesirable seat. Then when the man who invited everyone comes, he will say to you [(sg)], ‘Friend, sit in a better seat!’ Then all the people who are eating with you [(sg)] will see that he is honoring you.
Gidoshin, ne xeegettida wode koyrottada ziqqa bessi be7ada utta. Xeegoyssi yidi, ‘Ta laggiyaw, ha bonchcho bessan utta’ yaagana. He wode neera issife xeegettida asa ubbaa sinthan ne bonchchettana.
11 Also, [remember this]: [God] will humble those who exalt themselves. And [he] will exalt those who humble themselves.”
Bana dhoqqu dhoqqu oothiya ubbay kawuyana; bana ziqqi ziqqi oothiya ubbay dhoqqu dhoqqu gaana.”
12 [Jesus] also said to [the Pharisee] who had invited him to the meal, “When you [(sg)] invite people to a midday or evening meal, do not invite your friends or your family or your other relatives or your rich neighbors. They can later invite you [(sg) for a meal]. In that way they will repay you.
Qassi Yesuusi iya mokkida keethaa aawakko, “Quma woykko kaho imato xeegiya wode, neeni kushe zaaro xeegonna mela ne laggeta woykko ne ishata woykko ne dabbota woykko ne dure shoorota imato xeegoppa.
13 Instead, when you [(sg)] give a feast, invite poor [people], crippled [people], lame [people], or blind [people].
Gidoshin, ne imato giigisida wode manqota, wobbeta, gunddatanne qooqeta xeega; neeni anjjettana.
14 They will be unable to repay you. [But God will bless you! He] will repay you [at the time] when [he causes] righteous people to become alive again.”
Hayssati kushe zaaranaw dandda7onna gisho kushe zaaroy geeshshata denddo gallasan new simmana” yaagis.
15 One of those who were eating with Jesus heard him say that. He said to Jesus, “God [has truly] blessed [us Jews] who will eat [with the Messiah] when he starts to rule!”
Yesuusara wolla imato bolla uttoyssata giddofe issoy hessa si7idi, “Xoossaa kawotethan imato bolla utteyssi anjjettidayssa” yaagis.
16 But [to show that many Jews whom God had invited would not accept God’s invitation] [MET], Jesus replied to him, “One time a man [decided] to prepare a large feast. He invited many people to come.
Yesuusi, “Issi asi gita imato giigisidi daro asata xeegis.
17 When it was the day for the feast, he sent his servant to tell those who had been {whom he had} invited, ‘Come [now] because everything is ready!’
Imatoy mokettiya saatey gakkiya wode xeegettida imathata, ‘Hekko ubbabay giigis, haa yiite’ yaagidi xeeganaada ba aylliya kiittis.
18 But [when the servant did that], all of the people [whom he had invited] began to say why they did not want to come. The first [man the servant went to] said, ‘I have just bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please [ask your master to] forgive me for not coming!’
“Shin ubbayka bantta gaaso gaaso medhdhidosona. Issoy, ‘Ha77i buroo gade shammida gisho, bada be7anaw koshshees hayyana tana aggarkii yaaga’ yaagis.
19 Another person said, ‘I have just bought five pair of oxen, and I must go to examine them. Please [ask your master to] forgive me for not coming!’
Hankkoy, ‘Ichchashu waatha boori shammas enttana waaxa be7ana gisho hayyana tana lanccofa’ yaagis.
20 Another person said, ‘I have just been married. So I cannot come.’
Qassi haray, ‘Taani buroo meddan de7iya gisho, yaanaw dandda7ikke’ yaagis.
21 So the servant returned to his master and reported what [everyone had said]. The owner of the house was angry [when he heard the reasons they gave for not] coming. He said to his servant, ‘Go out quickly to the streets and alleys of the city [and find] poor and crippled and blind and lame [people, and bring] them here into [my house]!’
“Aylley simmi yidi he ubbaa ba godaas odis. He wode yaagano aaway hanqettidi aylliyako, ‘Ellesada kataman de7iya wogga ogetanne daggalata bada, manqota, wobbeta, qooqetanne gunddata haa eha’ yaagis.
22 [After the servant went and did that], he [came back and] said, ‘Sir, I have done what you [(sg)] told me to do, but there is still room [for more people].’
“Aylley, ‘Ta godaw, ne kiittidayssi ubbay polettis, shin ha77ika bessi de7ees’ yaagis.
23 [So] his master said to him, ‘Then go [outside the city]. Search for people along the highways. Search also along the narrow roads with hedges beside them [where homeless people may be staying]. Strongly urge the people in those places to come to [my house]. I want it to be full of [people]!’”
“Goday aylliyako, ‘Horogata bollanne, gade giddo ogeta keya, ta keethay kumana gakkanaw demmida ubbaa yaana mela ootha.
24 [Then Jesus said], “I tell you [(pl)] this: Very few of you [Jewish] people will enjoy my feast, even though [I] invited you [first to eat it with me when I become king].”
Ta hinttew odays; imatotidayssatappe oonikka ta gibiraappe moonnayssa erite’ gis” yaagis.
25 Large groups of people were traveling with [Jesus]. He turned and said to them,
Daro asay iyara wolla bishin Yesuusi enttako guye simmidi,
26 “If anyone comes to me who loves his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters [more than] [HYP] [he loves me], he cannot be my disciple. He must even love me more than he loves his own life!
“Taakko yaa ubbay ba aawanne, ba aayiw, ba machchiwunne ba nayta, ba ishatanne ba michcheta, hari attoshin ba de7uwa ixxonnay ta tamaare gidanaw dandda7enna.
27 [People who are ready to execute a prisoner make] him carry his cross [MET] [to the place where others will nail him] on it. Only those who are willing [to allow others to hurt them and disgrace them] like that because of being my disciples, and who are willing to obey what I teach, can be my disciples.
Ba masqaliya tookkidi tana kaallonnay ta tamaare gidanaw dandda7enna.
28 [I will illustrate] [MET]. If one of you desired to build a (tower/big house), (you would surely first sit down and determine how much it would cost!/would you not first sit down and determine how much it would cost?) [RHQ] Then you would determine whether you had enough money to complete it.
“Hinttefe issi asi shuchcha keethi keexanaw koykko, keethaa keexidi ongganaw ay mela miishe koshshiyako koyrottidi eranaw qoppi be7onnay oonee?
29 [If you did not do that], if you laid the foundation and were not able to finish [the rest of the tower], everyone who saw it would make fun of you.
Hessa gidonna ixxiko, ha uray baaso shuchchu hiixin qusttethi xoonikko,
30 They would say, ‘This man started to build [a tower], but he was not able to finish it!’
be7iya ubbay, ‘Ha uray gimbbethi oykkin qusttanaw iya xoonis’ yaagidi boroosona.
31 Or, if a king decided to [send his army to] war against another king, (he would surely first sit down [with those who] advised [him]./would he not first sit down [with those who] advised [him]?) [RHQ] They would determine whether [his army], which had only 10,000 soldiers, could defeat the [other army], which had 20,000 soldiers, and was about to attack his [army].
“Woykko issi kawoy hara kawora olettanaw denddishe laatamu mukulu olanchchota ekki yaa kawuwara tammu mukulu olanchchotara eqettanaw dandda7anayssanne dandda7onayssa uttidi zorettonnay oonee?
32 If he [decided] that his army could not [defeat that army], he would send messengers to [the other king] while the other army was still far away. He would tell the messengers to say to that king, ‘What things must I do to have peace with your country?’
Eqettanaw dandda7ettonaba gidikko, he hara kawuwara haahon de7ishin giiganaw koyrottidi cima yeddidi oychchees.
33 So, similarly, if any one of you does not first decide that you [(sg)] are [willing to] give up all that you have, you cannot be my disciple.”
Hessadakka, hinttefe oonikka baw de7iyaba ubbaa aggonna ixxiko ta tamaare gidanaw dandda7enna.
34 [Jesus also said, “You are like] [MET] salt, which is useful [to put on food]. But (salt certainly cannot be made {[you] certainly cannot make salt} to taste salty again if it stops tasting salty!/can salt be made {can [you] make salt} to taste salty again if it quits tasting salty?) [RHQ]
“Maxiney lo77o, shin maxiney ba mal7uwa aggiko, waanidi maxine geetettanaw dandda7ii?
35 [If salt does not taste salty any more], it is not good for the soil or even for the manure heap. [People] throw it away. [The same thing will happen to you if you become useless to God]. If you want to understand what I just said [IDM], you must consider [carefully] what you have heard!”
Biittatethaaskka araddatethaaskka maaddonabaa gidiya gisho wora yegettees. Hiza, si7iya haythi de7iya asi si7o” yaagis.
