Luqaassa 14
1 Issi gallas Yesussay quma maanaas Farsawista halaqatape issa so gelida wode asay wuri Yesussa ay oothanakonne gidi ayfe iza bolla tooki xellides.
One Sabbath Jesus went to have a meal at the home of one of the leaders of the Pharisees where they watched him closely.
2 Heenka asatethay izas purin wayetiza issi assi iza sinthan dees.
A man was there whose arms and legs were swollen.
3 Yesussaykka Muse woga erizaytanne Farsawista saketizadde sanbbata gallas pathanaas koshize koshennee? gidi oychchides.
So Jesus asked the experts in religious law and the Pharisees, “Does the law allow healing on the Sabbath, or not?”
4 Istika co7u gida izikka addezza bochchiddi pathi yeddides.
But they kept quiet. Jesus touched the man, healed him, and sent him on his way.
5 Qassekka intefe issi asas sanbbata wode nay woykko booray kundidi olan geliko eeson heeraka kesonta uray oone? gides.
Then Jesus said to them, “If your son or your ox happened to fall into a well on the Sabbath, wouldn't you go and pull him out immediately?”
6 Istika oychas aykko zaroka demmnaas dand7ibeyitenna
They weren't able to give an answer.
7 Xeygetida asati uttanaas boncho so koyishin Yesussay beyidi leemuso istas hiz gidi yoottides.
So he told a story to the guests, noticing how they'd chosen to sit in places of honor.
8 Issi assi nena sarges xeysiko boncho son utofa, nepe bollara bonchetizaddey xeysetiko
“When you're invited to a wedding reception, don't take the place of honor, because someone more important than you may have been invited,” he began.
9 Intena nam77antaka xeysidaddey yiidi ne utidasoza hayssaddes yeda gaana, nenika yelatashe ziqaso banddassa.
“Your host who invited you both will come and tell you, ‘Give this man your place.’ Then in embarrassment you'll have to move to whatever place is left.
10 Gido attin xeysetida wode ziqaso xellada utta, nena xegidaddey yiidi ta lagge haaya dhoqason utta gaandes, nenika he wode nenara maaddan utida asa wurso sinthan bonchetana.
Instead, when you're invited, take the lowest place, so that when your host comes in, he'll tell you, ‘My friend, please move to a better seat.’ Then you'll be honored before all the guests sitting with you.
11 Ays giiko bena dhoqqu histizaddey wuri ziq gaana bena ziq histizaddey wuri dhoqqu gaana.
For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”
12 Yesussaykka xeygidaddeza hiz gides quma woykko ka7o muzanas xeysiko neysatho nena xeysidi muzonta mala ne laggeta woykko ne ishata, ne dabota, woykko durista woykko dure guttata xegopa
Then he said to the man who had invited him, “When you give a lunch or a dinner, don't invite your friends, or your brothers, or your relatives, or your rich neighbors, for they may invite you back, and then you'd be repaid.
13 Gido attin asa xeysada muzana koyko manqota, kushey toy bayndda wobistane qooqeta xeysa neni anjetana.
Instead, when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind,
14 Xeysetidayti kushe zaranaas danda7onta gish xillota dentha wode nees kushey zaretana.
and you will be blessed, for they have nothing to repay you with, and you'll be rewarded at the resurrection of the good.”
15 Maaddan Yesussara issife utidaytape issay hayssa siyidi Xoossa kawotethan shiiqidi maaddafe miza uray anjetidadde gides.
When one of them eating at the table with Jesus heard this, he said to Jesus, “How wonderful it will be for those who feast in the kingdom of God!”
16 Yesussaykka hizgides issi assi wolqama diggisa giigisidi daro assi xeygides.
“Once there was a man who prepared a great banquet, and invited many guests,” Jesus replied.
17 Diggissa maana wodeyka gakin xeygetida imathata wurikka giigida gish ha yite gidi xegana mala ba ashkkara yeddides.
“When it was time to eat he sent his servant out to tell everyone who had been invited, ‘Come, because the banquet's ready.’
18 Gido attin wurikka beso hara gaaso shiishidi isoy ha7i gade shamadis baada beyanas besses hachsi tana lancofa gides.
But they all started to make excuses. The first said, ‘I've just bought a field and I have to go and see it. Please excuse me.’
19 Hankoysika tani ichachu waxa boora shamadis izista paaca xellana gish hach tana lancofa gides.
Another said, ‘I've just bought five pairs of oxen and have to go and try them out. Please excuse me.’ Still another said,
20 Qasse hara asaykka tani buro miishratethan days baannaas danda7ikke gides.
‘I've just got married, so I can't come.’
21 Oothanchayka kitetida soope simmidi hezati gidayssa ba Godas yoottides. he wodeka diggisa giigisidays hanqetidi oothancha hizgides, elella oydu oge kezada manqota, kusheynne toy bayndda wobista qomaxatanne ayfey bayndda qooqeta ha geltha gides.
The servant returned and told his master what they'd said. The home-owner became angry and told his servant, ‘Quickly, go out into the streets and alleys of the town, and bring in the poor and crippled and blind and lame.’
22 Oothanchayka zaaridi ta Godo ne tana azazidaysa wursa poladis burokka utetha soy dees gides.
Then the servant said, ‘Master, I did what you told me, but there are still empty places.’
23 Godazikka oothanchaza gede oydu oge keza ta keeth kumana mala pudene dugenne aadhdhizaytta wolqara geltha.
So the master told the servant, ‘Go out on the country roads and lanes, and make people come—I want my house to be full.
24 Tani tuma gays diggisa maana xeysetidaytape issi urayka duunan gelthenna gides.
I tell you, not a single one of those people I invited will get a taste of my banquet.’”
25 Daro derey izara issife bizayssa beyidi guye simmida Yesussay hizgides.
A large crowd was accompanying Jesus. He turned to them and said,
26 Taako yizay wuri ba aawanne ba, ba machchonne nayta, ba ishatanne michchista ba duus gidiin ixonta agikko tana kaallizadde gidanas danda7enna.
“If you want to follow me but you don't hate your father and mother, and wife and children, and brothers and sisters—even your own life—you can't be my disciple.
27 Be masqale tookidi tana kaalontay tana kaallizadde gidanas danda7enna.
If you don't carry your cross and follow me, you can't be my disciple.
28 Inte issi assi keethe keexanas koyko polanaas danda7anakkonne danda7ontako koyrotidi ba bira qopontay oone?
If you planned to build a tower, wouldn't you first work out how much it would cost, and see if you had enough money to complete it?
29 Keetha keexana doomidi wursanaas hanonta ixxiko beydda assi wuri iza bolla miicana.
Otherwise, if after laying the foundation you weren't able to finish it, everyone who saw it would laugh at you, saying,
30 Istika hizgana haysi addezzi keeth oykides shin polibeyna.
‘Look at him: he started building but he couldn't finish it.’
31 Woykko issi kawoy hara kawora olistana giigiidi nam77u tamu shi asa assi ekki yiza kawo zaranaas tamu shi ola asara zaranakonne uttidi qopontay oone?
What king goes to war with another king without first sitting down with his advisors to work out whether he and his ten thousand can defeat the one marching against him with twenty thousand?
32 Ola zaranaas danda7ettontta milatida bettikko buro hahon dishin maqaynanas gaana yedes.
If he can't, he'll send representatives to ask for peace while the other king is still a long way off.
33 Izaka mala inte oonikka gidiin bees dizaysa aggontay oonikka tana kaallizadde gidanas danda7enna.
In the same way every one of you who doesn't give up everything can't be my disciple.
34 Maxiney lo7oshin maxiney mal7onta ixxiko go7ena,
Salt is good, but if it loses its taste, how can you make it salty again?
35 Gadeni yegin gidonta gish co kare wora yegetes siyiza haythi diza assi siyo.
It's no good for the soil or for fertilizer—you just toss it out. Whoever has ears, then listen!”
