Luuqaasa 14

1 Issi Sambbaata gallas Yesuusi issi Farisaaweta halaqaa soo kathi maanaw geliya wode asay caddi xeellosona.

And it happened, when he went into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees on a Sabbath to eat bread, that they were watching him.

2 He bessan shawuhe harggen waayettiya issi asi iyaw sintha baggara zin77is.

And look, a certain man who had dropsy was in front of him.

3 Yesuusi Farisaawetakkonne higge asttamaaretakko, “Sambbaata gallas hargganchcho pasoy wogeyye woga gidennee?” yaagidi oychchis.

Yeshua, answering, spoke to the Law scholars and Pharisees, saying, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?"

4 Entti si7i gidosona. Yesuusi harggettiya uraa bochchi pathidi moyzis.

But they were silent. He took him, and healed him, and let him go.

5 “Qassika hinttefe issuwas na7i woykko boori Sambbaata gallas aafon wulliko ellesidi kessonnay oonee?”

He answered them, "Which of you, if your son or an ox fell into a well, would not immediately pull him out on a Sabbath day?"

6 Entti issibaakka zaaranaw dandda7ibookkona.

But they could make no reply to this.

7 Yesuusi imatuwas xeegettidayssati bonchcho bessi doorishin be7idi, ha leemisuwa odis.

He spoke a parable to those who were invited, when he noticed how they chose the best seats, and said to them,

8 “Issi asi nena yaagano xeegikko bonchcho bessan uttofa. Neeppe aadhdhi bonchchettiya asi xeegettanaw dandda7ees.

"When you are invited by anyone to a marriage feast, do not sit in the best seat, since perhaps someone more honorable than you might be invited by him,

9 Hinttena nam77atakka xeegidayssi yidi, ‘Ne bessaa ha imathaas yedda’ yaagiya wode neeni yeellatashe ziqqa bessi wodhdhaasa.

and he who invited both of you would come and tell you, 'Make room for this person.' Then you would begin, with shame, to take the lowest place.

10 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.

But when you are invited, go and sit in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes, he may tell you, 'Friend, move up higher.' Then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at the table with you.

11 Bana dhoqqu dhoqqu oothiya ubbay kawuyana; bana ziqqi ziqqi oothiya ubbay dhoqqu dhoqqu gaana.”

For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted."

12 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.

He also said to the one who had invited him, "When you make a dinner or a supper, do not call your friends, nor your brothers, nor your kinsmen, nor rich neighbors, or perhaps they might also return the favor, and pay you back.

13 Gidoshin, ne imato giigisida wode manqota, wobbeta, gunddatanne qooqeta xeega; neeni anjjettana.

But when you make a feast, ask the poor, the maimed, the lame, or the blind;

14 Hayssati kushe zaaranaw dandda7onna gisho kushe zaaroy geeshshata denddo gallasan new simmana” yaagis.

and you will be blessed, because they do not have the resources to repay you. For you will be repaid in the resurrection of the righteous."

15 Yesuusara wolla imato bolla uttoyssata giddofe issoy hessa si7idi, “Xoossaa kawotethan imato bolla utteyssi anjjettidayssa” yaagis.

Now when one of those who were reclining with him heard these things, he said to him, "Blessed is he who will eat bread in the Kingdom of God."

16 Yesuusi, “Issi asi gita imato giigisidi daro asata xeegis.

But he said to him, "A certain man made a great supper, and he invited many people.

17 Imatoy mokettiya saatey gakkiya wode xeegettida imathata, ‘Hekko ubbabay giigis, haa yiite’ yaagidi xeeganaada ba aylliya kiittis.

And he sent his servant at the hour for supper to tell those who were invited, 'Come, for everything is ready now.'

18 “Shin ubbayka bantta gaaso gaaso medhdhidosona. Issoy, ‘Ha77i buroo gade shammida gisho, bada be7anaw koshshees hayyana tana aggarkii yaaga’ yaagis.

They all as one began to make excuses. "The first said to him, 'I have bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please have me excused.'

19 Hankkoy, ‘Ichchashu waatha boori shammas enttana waaxa be7ana gisho hayyana tana lanccofa’ yaagis.

"Another said, 'I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I must go try them out. Please have me excused.'

20 Qassi haray, ‘Taani buroo meddan de7iya gisho, yaanaw dandda7ikke’ yaagis.

"Another said, 'I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.'

21 “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.

"That servant came, and told his lord these things. Then the master of the house, being angry, said to his servant, 'Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in the poor, maimed, blind, and lame.'

22 “Aylley, ‘Ta godaw, ne kiittidayssi ubbay polettis, shin ha77ika bessi de7ees’ yaagis.

"The servant said, 'Lord, it is done as you commanded, and there is still room.'

23 “Goday aylliyako, ‘Horogata bollanne, gade giddo ogeta keya, ta keethay kumana gakkanaw demmida ubbaa yaana mela ootha.

"The lord said to the servant, 'Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.

24 Ta hinttew odays; imatotidayssatappe oonikka ta gibiraappe moonnayssa erite’ gis” yaagis.

For I tell you that none of those individuals who were invited will taste of my supper.'"

25 Daro asay iyara wolla bishin Yesuusi enttako guye simmidi,

Now large crowds were going with him. He turned and said to them,

26 “Taakko yaa ubbay ba aawanne, ba aayiw, ba machchiwunne ba nayta, ba ishatanne ba michcheta, hari attoshin ba de7uwa ixxonnay ta tamaare gidanaw dandda7enna.

"If anyone comes to me, and does not hate his own father, mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

27 Ba masqaliya tookkidi tana kaallonnay ta tamaare gidanaw dandda7enna.

Whoever does not bear his own cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.

28 “Hinttefe issi asi shuchcha keethi keexanaw koykko, keethaa keexidi ongganaw ay mela miishe koshshiyako koyrottidi eranaw qoppi be7onnay oonee?

For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, to see if he has enough to complete it?

29 Hessa gidonna ixxiko, ha uray baaso shuchchu hiixin qusttethi xoonikko,

Or perhaps, when he has laid a foundation, and is not able to finish, everyone who sees begins to mock him,

30 be7iya ubbay, ‘Ha uray gimbbethi oykkin qusttanaw iya xoonis’ yaagidi boroosona.

saying, 'This man began to build, and was not able to finish.'

31 “Woykko issi kawoy hara kawora olettanaw denddishe laatamu mukulu olanchchota ekki yaa kawuwara tammu mukulu olanchchotara eqettanaw dandda7anayssanne dandda7onayssa uttidi zorettonnay oonee?

Or what king, as he goes to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand?

32 Eqettanaw dandda7ettonaba gidikko, he hara kawuwara haahon de7ishin giiganaw koyrottidi cima yeddidi oychchees.

Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends an envoy, and asks for conditions of peace.

33 Hessadakka, hinttefe oonikka baw de7iyaba ubbaa aggonna ixxiko ta tamaare gidanaw dandda7enna.

So therefore whoever of you who does not renounce all that he has, he cannot be my disciple.

34 “Maxiney lo77o, shin maxiney ba mal7uwa aggiko, waanidi maxine geetettanaw dandda7ii?

Salt is good, but if the salt becomes flat and tasteless, with what do you season it?

35 Biittatethaaskka araddatethaaskka maaddonabaa gidiya gisho wora yegettees. Hiza, si7iya haythi de7iya asi si7o” yaagis.

It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile. It is thrown out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear."
