Luke 6
1 One (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest), while Jesus was walking through some grain fields with his disciples, the disciples picked some of the heads of grain. They rubbed them in their hands [to separate the grains from the husks], and ate the grain. [The law of Moses permitted people to do that if they were hungry].
Issi sanbbata gallas Yesussay kaththa giddora aadhdhi bishin iza kaallizayti tiya xuphi ekkidi ba kushen shigechchi mishni,
2 Some Pharisees [who were watching] said to Jesus, “(You should not be doing on our rest day [work] that [our] laws forbid!/Why are you doing on our rest day [work] that our laws forbid?)” [RHQ]
Farsawistappe issi issi asati sanbbata gallas oothanas besoonttaysa ays oothetii? gida.
3 [Jesus wanted to show them that the record in Scriptures indicated that God permitted people to disobey certain religious laws when they needed food]. [So] he replied, “[It is written in the Scriptures] what [our revered ancestor, King] David did when he and the men with him were hungry. You have read about that, ([but you do not think about what it implies/so why do you not think about what it implies]?) [RHQ]
Yesussaykka istas Daawuttey izara diza asati gafida wode Daawutey oothidaysa nabbabibeyketii? giidi zaarides.
4 David entered God’s big worship tent [and asked for some food]. [The high priest gave him] the bread that the priests had presented to God. It was permitted [in] one of [Moses’ laws] that only the priests could eat that bread. But [even though David was not a priest], he ate some, and gave some to the men who were with him. [And God did not consider that what David did was wrong]!”
Izi Xoossa keeth gelidi qeeseti xalla maana mala azazettida dumma ukeetha bees miidi benara dizaytas immides.
5 Jesus also said to them, “[I am] the one who came from heaven, so [I] have the authority [to determine what is right for my disciples to do on] the day of rest!”
Qassekka Yesussay asa nay sanbbata Goda giidi istas yoottides.
6 Another (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest) Jesus entered a (synagogue/Jewish meeting place) and taught the people. There was a man there whose right hand was shriveled.
Yesussaykka hara sanbbata gallas mukurabe gelidi tamarisishin oshacha kushey silida issi assi heen dees.
7 The men who taught the [Jewish] laws and the Pharisees [who were there] watched Jesus, to see if he would heal the man (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day). They did this so that, [if he healed the man], they would accuse him [of disobeying their laws by working on the day of rest].
Muse woga tamaarisizaytine Farsaweti Yesussa mootanas gaasso koyidi ane izi sanbbata gallassan addeza pathiko beyana giidi naagishe gam77ida.
8 But Jesus knew what they were thinking. So he said to the man with the shriveled hand, “Come and stand here [in front of everyone]!” So the man got up and stood there.
Yesussaykka ista wozana qofa eridi kushey silida addeza wurso sinthan denda eqqa gides. addezzika dendi eqqides.
9 Then Jesus said to the others, “I ask you this: Do the laws that [God gave Moses] permit [people] to do what is good (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day), or [do they permit people] to harm [others]? [Do they permit us] to save [a person’s] life [on our day of rest] or to let [him] die [HYP] [by refusing to help him]?”
Yesussaykka ista ta intena issi miish ane oychchays sanbbata gallas oothanas bessizay lo7o ootho woykko iita oothoo? Shemppo asho woykko dhaysoo? giidi oychchides.
10 [They refused to answer him. So] after he looked around at them all, he said to the man, “Stretch out your [shriveled] hand!” The man did that, and his hand became all right again!
Qassekka Yesussay ba yuushon diza wursi yuushi xellidape guyyen addeza ne kushe piddisa gides. Addezzika Yesussay gida mala oothides. Iza kusheykka paxides.
11 But the men who taught the Jewish laws and the Pharisees were very angry, and they discussed with one another what they could do to [get rid of] Jesus.
Gido attin asati hanqettida, Yesussa bollankka ay oothanas koshizakonne ba giddon zorettida.
12 About that time [Jesus] went up into the hills to pray. He prayed to God all night.
He gallassatappe issi gallas Yesussay woosanaas zuma bolla kezidi qamma kumeth Xoossa woosishe aqides.
13 The next day he summoned all his disciples to come near him. From them he chose twelve men, whom he called apostles.
Gadey wonitishin bena kaallizayta xeeygidi istafe tammanne nam77anta doorides. Istaka hawarista giidi sunthidees.
14 They were Simon, to whom he gave the [new] name, Peter; Andrew, Peter’s [younger] brother; James and [his younger brother], John; Philip; Bartholomew;
Istika Phexirosa giidi sunthida Simoonane iza isha Indirassa, Yaqobe, Yanisa, Pilphosa, Barttalemossa,
15 Matthew, whose other name was Levi; Thomas; [another] James, the [son] of Alpheus; Simon, who belonged to the party [that encouraged people to] rebel [against the Roman government];
Matosa, Toomassa, Ilfiyosa na Yaqobe, ba deres olatana giigetiza Simoona,
16 Judas, the [son] of [another] James; and Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]), the one who later (betrayed Jesus./enabled the Jewish leaders to seize Jesus.)
Yaqobe na Yudane Yesussa aathi immida asqqoroto Yuda.
17 [Jesus] came down from the hills with his disciples and stood on a level area. There was a very big crowd of his disciples there. There was also a large group of people who had come from Jerusalem and from many [other] places [in] Judea [district], and from the coastal areas near Tyre and Sidon [cities].
Yesussaykka istara issife zuma bollafe duge wodhdhidi denba son eqqides. Iza kaallizaytappe daro asay heen dees, Yihudappene Yerusalemeppe, qassekka Xirosappenne Sidona abba achchafe yida keehi daro asaykka heen dees.
18 They came to hear Jesus talk to them and to be healed {and for him to heal them} from their diseases. He also healed those whom evil spirits had troubled.
Istika yiday Yesussay gizaysa siyanasinne harggefe paxannasa. tuna ayaanaykka wayssizayti wuri paxida.
19 Everyone [in the crowd] tried to touch him, because he was healing everyone by [his/God’s] power.
Wolqqayka izappe kezidi darota pathiza gish asay wuri iza bochchannas yides. ufaysanne gaasota
20 He looked [MTY] at his disciples and said, “[God] is pleased with you [who know] that you lack what [he wants you to have; ] he will allow you to be the people whose lives he rules over.
Yesussaykka bena kaallizaytas hiz gides Xoossa kawotethay intes gidida gish inteno manqqoto inte anjettidayta,
21 [God] is pleased with you who sincerely desire to receive what [MTY] [he wants you to have]; he will give you what you need, until you are satisfied. [God] is pleased with you that grieve now [because of sin]. Later you will be joyful.
Inte guyyeppe kaallanna gish ha7i gafizayto inte anjettidayta, inte guyyeppe miicana gish inteno ha7i yekkizayto inte anjettidayta,
22 [God] is pleased with you when [other] people hate you, when they will not let you join them, when they insult you, when they say that you are evil because [you believe in] me, the one who came from heaven.
asay ta gish intena ixxishin, ba giddofe shaakkishin, borishin intena iita sunthara xeygishn inte anjettidayta,
23 When that happens, rejoice! Jump up and down because you are so happy! [God will give] you a great reward in heaven! [When they do these things to you, it will prove that you are God’s servants]. (OR, [People have always treated God’s servants like that].) Do not forget that these people’s ancestors did the same things to the prophets [who served God faithfully]!
Intes salon gita woytoy diza gish he wode ufaysan guppite, ays giiko ista aawati nabeta bolla hessaththo oothida.
24 But there will be terrible punishment for you that are rich; the happiness you have received [from your riches] is the only happiness that you will get.
Gido attin inteno dureto inte ha7i ufa77ettida gish intena ayye,
25 There will be terrible punishment for you who [think that you] have all that you need now; you will [realize] that these things will not make you feel satisfied. There will be terrible punishment for you who are joyful now; you will [later] be very sad.
inteno ha7i kalidayto intena ayye inte guyyeppe yeekkana, inte guyyeppe michistanasinne yeekkana gish inteno ha7i miicizayto intes ayye inte guyyepe yekana,
26 When most [HYP] people speak well about you, trouble is ahead for you; [it will not prove that you are God’s servants, because] your ancestors used to speak well about those who falsely [claimed that they were] prophets.”
asi wuri inte gish lo7o haasa7iza wode intena ayye ana, ays giiko ista aawati wordo nabetas hessa mala oothida.
27 “But I say this to each of you [disciples] who are listening [to what I say]: Love your enemies [as well as your friends]. Do good things for those who hate you!
Gido attin ta yootizaysa siyizayto tani intes yootizay inte morketa siiqite, intena ixxizaytas lo7o oothite,
28 [Ask God to] bless those who curse you! Pray for those who mistreat you!
intena qanggizayta anjite, intena qohizaytas woosite,
29 If someone [insults one of you by] striking you on one of your cheeks, turn your face [so that he can strike] the other cheek [also]. If [a bandit] wants to take away your [(sg)] coat, let him also have your shirt.
issi shagalan baqqikko, nam77antho shagala gujja bessa, oonine ne bollara mayidaysa qaari ekkikko gaathara mayidaysakka diggofa.
30 Give something to everyone who asks you [(sg) for something]. If someone takes away things that belong to you [(sg)], do not ask him to return them.
Nena woosiza wursos imma, ne miishsha ekkida assi zars immana mala oychchofa.
31 In whatever way you [(pl)] want others to act toward you, that is the way that you should act toward them.
asi intes oothanna mala inte koyizaysatho intekka hara asas oothite.
32 If you love [only] those who love you, do not [expect God] to praise you for [doing that] [RHQ], [because] even sinners love those who love them.
Nagaranchattikka bena siiqizayta siiqiza gish inte intena siiqizayta xalla siiqikko intes ay dumma anjjoy dizee?
33 If you do good things [only] for those who do good things for you, do not [expect God] to reward you [for doing that] [RHQ], [because] even sinners do that.
Inte intes lo7o oothizaytas xalla lo7o oothikko intes ay dumma anjjoy dizee? Ays giikko nagaranchattikka hessaththo oothiza.
34 If you lend [things or money only] to those who you expect will give something back to you, do not [expect that God] will reward you [RHQ] [for doing that]. Even sinners lend to other sinners, because they expect them to pay everything back.
Tal7e ekkidi zaarana danda7etes gizaytas xalla inte tal7ikko inte hara ay dumma anjjo demmanee? Ays giiko nagaranchatika isti tal7idaysa sire zaaridi ekkanas nagaranchatas tal7etesi.
35 Instead, love your enemies! Do good things for them! Lend to them, and do not expect them to pay anything back! [If you do that, God will give] you a big reward. And you will be [acting like] his children [should]. Remember that God is kind to people who are not grateful and to people who are wicked, [and he expects you to be like that too].
Gido attin Xoossi bena galatontaytasinne iitatas keeha gidida mala inte morketa siiqite, lo7o oothite, guyyepe zaaridi ekkanas qoponta dishe tal7e immite, hessanika intes kushe zaaroy gita gidana, qassekka inte woga Xoossa na gidana.
36 Act mercifully toward others, just like your Father [in heaven acts] mercifully [toward you].”
Inte aaway keha gidida mala intekka kiyata gidite.
37 “Do not say how sinfully others have acted, and then [God] will not say how sinfully you have acted. Do not condemn others, and then [he] will not condemn you [DOU]. Forgive others [for the evil things that they have done to you], and then [God] will forgive you.
Inte harata bolla pirdoppite inte bollakka pirdetena, inte bolla firday darontta mala harata bolla firda darssoppite, asas atto gite inteskka atto geetetana.
38 Give [good things to others], and then [God] will give [good] things to you. It will be [as though] [MET] [God is putting things in a basket] for you. He will give you a full amount, pressed down in the basket, which he will shake [so that he can put more in], and it will spill over the sides! [Remember that] the way you act [toward others] will be the way that [God] will act toward you!”

39 He also told [his disciples] this parable [to show them that they should be like him, and not be like the Jewish religious leaders]: “(You certainly would not [expect] a blind man to lead another blind man./Would you [expect] a blind man to lead [another] blind man?) [RHQ] If he tried to do [that], (they would both probably fall into a hole!/wouldn’t they both probably fall into a hole?) [RHQ] [I am your teacher, and you disciples should be like me].
Qassekka Yesussay istas leemuso hiz gidi yoottides “qooqqey qooqe kaalethanas danda7izee? kaalethikkokka nam77ati issay issara oykettidi ollan gelettennee?
40 A disciple should not [expect to be] better known than his teacher. But if a student is fully trained {if someone fully trains a student}, the student can become like his teacher [MET]. [So you should be content to be like me].
Tamaarey bena tamaarisizaddeppe aadhdhenna, gido attin lo7ethi tamaarida asi wuri ba astaamare mala gides.
41 (Why do you notice [someone else’s small faults]?/None of you should be concerned about [someone else’s small faults] [MET, RHQ].) [That would be like] noticing a speck in that person’s eye. But you should be concerned about [your own big faults. They are like] planks in your own eye, [which you do not notice].
Ne ayfe giddon diza tuussa xeellonta dashe ne isha ayfe giddon diza buura ays xellayii?
42 (You [(sg)] should not say, ‘Friend, let me take out that speck in your eye!’ when you do not notice the log in your own eye!/Why do you say, ‘Friend, let me take out that speck in your eye!’ when you do not notice the log in your own eye?) [RHQ] [If you do that], you are a hypocrite! You should first [stop committing your own sins. That will be like] removing the plank from your own eye. Then, as a result, you will have the spiritual insight you need to help others get rid of the [faults that are like] specks in their eyes.”
Ne ayfen diza tuussa beyontta ne isha tani ne ayfen diza buura ane kessays gaanas wosta danda7ayii? Neno milatisizayso koyrotada ne ayfen diza tuussa kessa, hessafe guye ne isha ayfen diza buura kessanas lo7etha xeellandasa.”
43 “[People are like trees] [MET]. Healthy trees do not bear bad fruit (OR, bear only good fruit), and unhealthy trees do not bear good fruit.
Lo77o mithi iita ayfe ayfenna, qassekka iita mithi lo7o ayfe ayfenna.
44 [Just like you] can tell if a tree is good or bad by looking at its fruit, [you can tell which people are good and which are bad by looking at the way they] conduct their lives. [For example, because thornbushes cannot produce figs], no one can pick figs from thornbushes. And [since bramble bushes cannot produce grapes], no one can [pick] grapes from bramble bushes.
Mithi wurikka ba ayfe ayfen ereetes, agunthafe balase geettetiza miththa ayfey maaxettenna, laadeppe woyne ayfey qanxxettenna.
45 [Similarly], good people will conduct their lives in a good way because they think a lot of good [things], and evil people will live in an evil way because they think a lot of evil [things]. The basic principle is that people speak [and act] according to all that they think.”
Lo77o asi ba wezina kumida lo7o miish kesses, iita asikka ba wezina kumida iita miishshafe iita kesses, asi wurikka ba wezina kumi palahidaysa ba duunan hassa7ees.
46 “[Because people should obey what their masters tell them], (it is disgraceful that you say that I am your master but you do not do what I tell you!/why do you say that I am your master but you do not do what I tell you?) [RHQ]
Tani gizaysa oothekista shin ays tana “Godo Godo” geetii?
47 Some people come to me, and hear my messages and obey them. I will tell you what they are like.

48 They are like a man who dug deep [into the ground to prepare to build his house]. He made sure that the foundation was on solid ground. Then when there was a flood, the water tried to wash away the house. But the river could not shake the house, because it was built {he built it} on a solid [foundation].
49 But some people hear my messages but do not obey them. They are like a man who built a house on top of the ground without [digging] a foundation. When the river flooded, the house collapsed immediately and was completely ruined. [So it is important for you to obey what I teach you].”
