Luuqaasa 13
1 He wode Yesuusakko asay yidi Philaaxoosi wodhidi entta suuthaara entta yarshshuwa walakkida Galiila asaabaa odida asati he bessan de7oosona.
It was around this time that some people told Jesus about Pilate's killing of some Galileans while they were offering sacrifices in the Temple.
2 I hayssada yaagidi zaaris; “Yaatin he Galiila asati he iita hayqo hayqqida gisho, Galiilan de7iya asa ubbaafe aadhdhida nagaranchcho daanoona?
“Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than any other Galileans because they suffered like this?” Jesus asked.
3 Gidenna! Gidoshin, hintteka maarotan simmona ixxiko, ubbay hessada dhayana.
“No, I tell you. But unless you repent, you will all perish as well.
4 Woykko qassi Salihoome giya bessan gimbbey woddidi wodhida tammanne hosppun asay Yerusalaamen de7iya asa ubbaafe aadhdhida nagaranchcho daanoona?
What about those eighteen people that were killed when the tower in Siloam fell on them? Do you think they were the worst people in the whole of Jerusalem?
5 Gidenna! Shin hintteka maarotan simmona ixxiko ubbay hessada dhayana.”
No, I tell you. But unless you repent, you will all perish as well.”
6 Qassika Yesuusi hayssada gidi leemiso odis; “Issi uraas woyne gaden tokettida balase mithiya de7awusu. I iippe ayfe koyii yidi aykkoka demmibeenna.
Then he told them this story as an illustration. “Once there was man who had a fig tree planted in his vineyard. He came to look for fruit on the tree, but he didn't find any.
7 Gadiya goday woyne oosanchchuwakko, ‘Ayfe demmanaw koyada heedzu laythi simerettada aykkoka demmabiikke. Hessa gisho, qanxa digga; ays biittaa melisay?’ yaagis.
So he told the gardener, ‘Look, for three years I've been coming to look for fruit on this fig tree and I haven't found any. Chop it down! Why should it be taking up space?’
8 “Shin oosanchchoy, ‘Godaw, I yuushuwa oothada osha yeggana gakkanaw ha laythas aggarkii.
‘Master,’ the man replied, ‘please leave it alone for just one more year. I'll dig the soil around it and put down some fertilizer.
9 Ha laythi ayfikko lo77o, ixxiko qanxa agga’” yaagidi zaaris.
If it produces fruit, then that's fine. If not, then chop it down.’”
10 Yesuusi Sambbaata gallas Ayhude Woosa Keethan tamaarssees.
One Sabbath Jesus was teaching in a synagogue,
11 He bessan tammanne hosppun laythi tuna ayyaani zokko kuunisida issi maccasiya de7awusu. Iya kuunappe denddoyssan suure eqqanaw dandda7ukku.
and a woman was there who had been crippled by an evil spirit for eighteen years. She was bent over and could not stand straight.
12 Yesuusi iyo be7ida wode xeegidi, “Ha maccasete, ne harggiyafe paxadasa” yaagis.
When Jesus saw her, he called her over and told her, “You're freed of your sickness.”
13 Ba kushiya I bolla wothin, iya sohuwara suurada eqqasu. Xoossaaka galatasu.
Then he placed his hands on her, and immediately she straightened up, and she praised God.
14 Shin Ayhude Woosa Keetha halaqay yilotidi asaakko, “Oosoy oosettiya usuppun gallasati de7oosona. Hessa gisho, he gallasatan yidi paxiteppe attin Sambbaata gallas gidenna” yaagis.
However, the synagogue leader was upset that Jesus had healed on the Sabbath. He said to the crowd, “There are six days for work. Come and be healed on those days, not on the Sabbath.”
15 Goday, “Cubboto, hintte giddofe boori woykko hare Sambbaata gallas zadalope billidi haathe ushshanaw efonnay oonee?
But the Lord answered him, “You hypocrites! Doesn't every one of you untie your ox or donkey from the stall and take it to drink?
16 Yaatin, ha maccasiya Abrahaame na7aa gidashe xalahen qashettada tammanne hosppun laythi kumethi de7idaaris Sambbaata gallas birshshetethi koshshennee?” yaagidi oychchis.
Why shouldn't this woman, this daughter of Abraham whom Satan has kept tied up for eighteen years, be untied and set free this Sabbath day?”
17 I hessa odida wode eqetteyssati ubbay yeellatidosona. Shin asay ubbay I oothida malaalisiya ooso ubban ufayttidosona.
What he said shamed all his opponents, but everyone in the crowd was delighted by all the wonderful things he was doing.
18 Hessafe guye, Yesuusi hayssada yaagis, “Xoossaa kawotethay ay daanii? Iya aybira daaniso?
Then Jesus asked, “So what is the kingdom of God like? What should I compare it to?
19 Xoossaa kawotethay issi asi ba goshshan tokkida wola ayfe mela. I diccidi mithi gidis. Salo kafoti iya tashiya bolla shemppidosona.
It's like a mustard seed that a man planted in his garden. It grew into a tree, and the birds came and nested in its branches.”
20 Qassi, “Xoossaa kawotethaa aybira daaniso?
He asked again, “What shall I compare the kingdom of God to?
21 Issi maccasiya daro dhiillera walakkada munuqida guutha irshsho daanees” yaagis.
It's like yeast that a woman took and mixed into three measures of flour which made the whole batch rise.”
22 Hessafe guye, Yesuusi Yerusalaame bishe I kanthiya ogiyan de7iya katamataninne gutatan tamaarssishe aadhdhis.
Jesus went around the towns and villages, teaching on his way to Jerusalem.
23 Issi asi Yesuusakko, “Godaw, attanay guutha asa xalaalee?” yaagidi oychchis. Yesuusi enttako,
Someone asked him, “Lord, will only a few be saved?” Jesus replied,
24 “Si7ite, xuuntha wulaara gelanaw baaxetite. Daroti gelanaw koyoosona shin enttaw hanenna.
“Try very hard to enter the narrow doorway, because I tell you that many will try to go in, and won't succeed.
25 Keethaaway denddidi wulaa gorddidaappe guye, ‘Nuus dooyarkii’ yaagishe karen eqqidi xeessi oykkeeta. Shin I, ‘Hintte ooneekkonne awuppe yidaakko ta erikke’ gidi zaarana.
Once the house owner gets up and closes the door, you'll be standing outside knocking on the door, saying, ‘Master, please open the door for us.’ But he'll reply, ‘I don't know you or where you're from.’
26 He wode hintte, ‘Neera wolla mida, uyida, nu dabaabankka tamaarssadasa’ yaagana.
Then you'll say, ‘But we ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets!’
27 “I zaaridi, ‘Hintte ooneekkonne awuppe yidaakko erikke. Hinttenoo, geellato taappe haakkite’ yaagana.
He'll reply, ‘I tell you, I don't know you or where you're from. Get away from me, all of you who don't do what's good!’
28 Abrahaame, Yisaaqa, Yayqoobanne nabeta ubbaa Xoossaa kawotethan be7ana, shin hintte karen wodhdhidi attiyaa wode hinttew yeehonne achche garccethi gidana.
There will be crying and gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God but you are thrown out.
29 Asay dolohappe, wulohappe, pudehappenne dugehappe yidi Xoossaa kawotethan gibira bolla uttana.
People will come from the east and the west, the north and the south, and they will sit down to eat in the kingdom of God.
30 Hessa gisho, ha77i dethan guye gididayssatappe sinthe gidanayssati, sinthe gididayssatappe guye gidanayssati de7oosona” yaagis.
For the last shall be first, and the first shall be last.”
31 He wode Farisaawetappe issoti issoti yidi, “Heroodisi nena wodhanaw koyaa gisho ha bessafe denddada ba gidosona.
At that moment some Pharisees came to Jesus and told him, “You should leave here. Herod wants to kill you!”
32 I zaaridi, “Bidi, he workkanaas hekko, ‘Hachchinne wontto tuna ayyaanata kessana, hargganchchota pathana, heedzantho gallasan kuushsha bolla gakkana’ yaagis giite.
Jesus replied, “Go tell that fox that I will go on driving out demons and healing people for today and tomorrow, and on the third day I'll achieve what I came to do.
33 Hanoppe attin, nabey Yerusalaameppe karen hayqqanaw bessenna. Hessa gisho, hachchi, wonttonne wontti fee7in he bessaa baanaw denddas.
Well anyway I must continue on my way for today and tomorrow, and the day after. For it wouldn't be right for a prophet to die outside of Jerusalem!
34 “Yerusalaame, Yerusalaame, nabeta wodhiyare, neekko kiitettidayssata shuchchan caddiyare, kuttoy ba nayta ba qefiyappe garssan shiishiyada ne nayta ta qesiyappe garssan aappun toho shiishanaw koyadina, shin hintte ixxas gideta.
Oh Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you kill prophets and stone those who are sent to you! How often I have wanted to gather all your children together just like a hen does with her chicks under her wings, but you refused!
35 Ta hinttew odays; hintte keethay kaysattana. Godaa sunthan yeyssi anjjettidayssa hintte gaana gakkanaw tana demmeketa” yaagis.
Look, your house is left desolate, and I tell you that you won't see me again until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’”
