Luuqaasa 13
1 He wode Yesuusakko asay yidi Philaaxoosi wodhidi entta suuthaara entta yarshshuwa walakkida Galiila asaabaa odida asati he bessan de7oosona.
Just at that time some people had come to tell Jesus about the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with the blood of their sacrifices.
2 I hayssada yaagidi zaaris; “Yaatin he Galiila asati he iita hayqo hayqqida gisho, Galiilan de7iya asa ubbaafe aadhdhida nagaranchcho daanoona?
‘Do you suppose,’ replied Jesus, ‘that, because these Galileans have suffered in this way, they were worse sinners than any other Galileans?
3 Gidenna! Gidoshin, hintteka maarotan simmona ixxiko, ubbay hessada dhayana.
No, I tell you; but, unless you repent, you will all perish as they did.
4 Woykko qassi Salihoome giya bessan gimbbey woddidi wodhida tammanne hosppun asay Yerusalaamen de7iya asa ubbaafe aadhdhida nagaranchcho daanoona?
Or those eighteen men at Siloam on whom the tower fell, killing them all, do you suppose that they were worse offenders than any other inhabitants of Jerusalem?
5 Gidenna! Shin hintteka maarotan simmona ixxiko ubbay hessada dhayana.”
No, I tell you; but, unless you repent, you will all perish in the same manner.’
6 Qassika Yesuusi hayssada gidi leemiso odis; “Issi uraas woyne gaden tokettida balase mithiya de7awusu. I iippe ayfe koyii yidi aykkoka demmibeenna.
And Jesus told them this parable – ‘A man, who had a fig tree growing in his vineyard, came to look for fruit on it, but could not 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 said to his gardener “Three years now I have come to look for fruit on this fig tree, without finding any! Cut it down. Why should it rob the soil?”
8 “Shin oosanchchoy, ‘Godaw, I yuushuwa oothada osha yeggana gakkanaw ha laythas aggarkii.
“Leave it this one year more, Sir,” the man answered, “until I have dug round it and manured it.
9 Ha laythi ayfikko lo77o, ixxiko qanxa agga’” yaagidi zaaris.
Then, if it bears in future, well and good; but if not, you can have it cut down.”’
10 Yesuusi Sambbaata gallas Ayhude Woosa Keethan tamaarssees.
Jesus was teaching on a Sabbath in one of the synagogues,
11 He bessan tammanne hosppun laythi tuna ayyaani zokko kuunisida issi maccasiya de7awusu. Iya kuunappe denddoyssan suure eqqanaw dandda7ukku.
and he saw before him a woman who for eighteen years had suffered from weakness owing to her having an evil spirit in her. She was bent double, and was wholly unable to raise herself.
12 Yesuusi iyo be7ida wode xeegidi, “Ha maccasete, ne harggiyafe paxadasa” yaagis.
When Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said, ‘Woman, you are released from your weakness.’
13 Ba kushiya I bolla wothin, iya sohuwara suurada eqqasu. Xoossaaka galatasu.
He placed his hands on her, and she was instantly made straight, and began to praise 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.
But the synagogue leader, indignant that Jesus had worked the cure on the Sabbath, intervened and said to the people, ‘There are six days on which work ought to be done; come to be cured on one of those, and not on the Sabbath.’
15 Goday, “Cubboto, hintte giddofe boori woykko hare Sambbaata gallas zadalope billidi haathe ushshanaw efonnay oonee?
‘You hypocrites!’ the Master answered him. ‘Does not everyone of you let your ox or your donkey loose from its manger, and take it out to drink, on the Sabbath?
16 Yaatin, ha maccasiya Abrahaame na7aa gidashe xalahen qashettada tammanne hosppun laythi kumethi de7idaaris Sambbaata gallas birshshetethi koshshennee?” yaagidi oychchis.
But this woman, a daughter of Abraham, who has been kept in bondage by Satan for now eighteen years, ought not she to have been released from her bondage on the Sabbath?’
17 I hessa odida wode eqetteyssati ubbay yeellatidosona. Shin asay ubbay I oothida malaalisiya ooso ubban ufayttidosona.
As he said this, his opponents all felt ashamed; but all the people rejoiced to see all the wonderful things that he was doing.
18 Hessafe guye, Yesuusi hayssada yaagis, “Xoossaa kawotethay ay daanii? Iya aybira daaniso?
So Jesus said, ‘What is the kingdom of God like? And to what can I liken it?
19 Xoossaa kawotethay issi asi ba goshshan tokkida wola ayfe mela. I diccidi mithi gidis. Salo kafoti iya tashiya bolla shemppidosona.
It is like a mustard seed which a man took and put in his garden. The seed grew and became a tree, and the wild birds roosted in its branches.’
20 Qassi, “Xoossaa kawotethaa aybira daaniso?
And again Jesus said, ‘To what can I liken the kingdom of God?
21 Issi maccasiya daro dhiillera walakkada munuqida guutha irshsho daanees” yaagis.
It is like some yeast which a woman took and covered in three pecks of flour, until the whole had risen.’
22 Hessafe guye, Yesuusi Yerusalaame bishe I kanthiya ogiyan de7iya katamataninne gutatan tamaarssishe aadhdhis.
Jesus went through towns and villages, teaching as he went, and making his way towards Jerusalem.
23 Issi asi Yesuusakko, “Godaw, attanay guutha asa xalaalee?” yaagidi oychchis. Yesuusi enttako,
‘Master,’ someone asked, ‘are there but few in the path of salvation?’ And Jesus answered,
24 “Si7ite, xuuntha wulaara gelanaw baaxetite. Daroti gelanaw koyoosona shin enttaw hanenna.
‘Strive to go in by the narrow door. Many, I tell you, will seek to go in, but they will not be able,
25 Keethaaway denddidi wulaa gorddidaappe guye, ‘Nuus dooyarkii’ yaagishe karen eqqidi xeessi oykkeeta. Shin I, ‘Hintte ooneekkonne awuppe yidaakko ta erikke’ gidi zaarana.
when once the master of the house has got up and shut the door, while you begin to say, as you stand outside and knock, “Sir, open the door for us.” His answer will be – “I do not know where you come from.”
26 He wode hintte, ‘Neera wolla mida, uyida, nu dabaabankka tamaarssadasa’ yaagana.
Then you will begin to say “We have eaten and drunk in your presence, and you have taught in our streets,” and his reply will be –
27 “I zaaridi, ‘Hintte ooneekkonne awuppe yidaakko erikke. Hinttenoo, geellato taappe haakkite’ yaagana.
“I do not know where you come from. Leave my presence, all you who are living in wickedness.”
28 Abrahaame, Yisaaqa, Yayqoobanne nabeta ubbaa Xoossaa kawotethan be7ana, shin hintte karen wodhdhidi attiyaa wode hinttew yeehonne achche garccethi gidana.
There, there will be weeping and grinding of teeth, when you see Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, while you yourselves are being driven outside.
29 Asay dolohappe, wulohappe, pudehappenne dugehappe yidi Xoossaa kawotethan gibira bolla uttana.
People will come from East and West, and from North and South, and take their places at the banquet in the kingdom of God.
30 Hessa gisho, ha77i dethan guye gididayssatappe sinthe gidanayssati, sinthe gididayssatappe guye gidanayssati de7oosona” yaagis.
There are some who are last now who will then be first, and some who are first now who will then be last!’
31 He wode Farisaawetappe issoti issoti yidi, “Heroodisi nena wodhanaw koyaa gisho ha bessafe denddada ba gidosona.
Just then some Pharisees came up to Jesus and said, ‘Go away and leave this place, for 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.
But Jesus answered, ‘Go and say to that fox “Look you, I am driving out demons and will be completing cures today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will have done.”
33 Hanoppe attin, nabey Yerusalaameppe karen hayqqanaw bessenna. Hessa gisho, hachchi, wonttonne wontti fee7in he bessaa baanaw denddas.
But today and tomorrow and the day after I must go on my way, because it cannot be that a prophet should meet his end outside 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.
Jerusalem! Jerusalem! You who slays the prophets and stones the messengers sent to you – Oh, how often have I wished to gather your children round me, as a hen takes her brood under her wings, and you would not come!
35 Ta hinttew odays; hintte keethay kaysattana. Godaa sunthan yeyssi anjjettidayssa hintte gaana gakkanaw tana demmeketa” yaagis.
Verily your house is left to you desolate! And never, I tell you, will you see me, until you say – “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.”’
