Luuqaasa 18
1 Yesuusi ba tamaareta azalonna ubba wode woossana mela tamaarssanaw koyidi yaagidi leemiso odis.
And he made a story for them, the point of which was that men were to go on making prayer and not get tired;
2 “Issi kataman Xoossaas yashettonna asaskka yeellatonna issi daynni de7ees
Saying, There was a judge in a certain town, who had no fear of God or respect for man:
3 He kataman issi am77iya da7awusu. Iyakka, ‘Tawunne ta morkkiyas giddon de7iya mootuwa pirdda’ yaagada ubba wode he daynnaako simerettawusu.
And there was a widow in that town, and she kept on coming to him and saying, Give me my right against the man who has done me wrong.
4 Daynnay guutha wodes I odaa si7onna ixxis, shin guyeppe ba wozanan, ‘Taani Xoossaas yayyonna, asas yeellatonna ixxikokka,
And for a time he would not: but later, he said to himself, Though I have no fear of God or respect for man,
5 ha am77iya tana waaysiya gisho iw pirddana; yaatonna ixxiko ubba wode yada tana salethana’ yaagidi qoppis” yaagis.
Because this widow is a trouble to me, I will give her her right; for if not, I will be completely tired out by her frequent coming.
6 Godaykka, “Geella daynnay gidayssa si7ideta
And the Lord said, Give ear to the words of the evil judge.
7 Xoossay qammanne gallas iyaakko waassiya ba dooridayssatas pirddeneyye? Enttana maaddanaw gam77iyye?
And will not God do right in the cause of his saints, whose cries come day and night to his ears, though he is long in doing it?
8 Ta hinttew odeyssa si7ite, ellesidi pirddana. Gidoshin, Asa Na7ay yaa wode sa7a bolla ammano demmanddeshsha?” yaagis.
I say to you that he will quickly do right in their cause. But when the Son of man comes, will there be any faith on earth?
9 Qassi zaaridi, Yesuusi, banttana xillo asada oothidi ceeqetteyssatasinne harata kadheyssatas hayssada yaagidi leemiso odis.
And he made this story for some people who were certain that they were good, and had a low opinion of others:
10 “Nam77u asati woossanaw Xoossa Keethi bidosona. Issoy Farisaawe hankkoy qassi qaraxa qanxisiya asi.
Two men went up to the Temple for prayer; one a Pharisee, and the other a tax-farmer.
11 Farisaawey eqqidi baw woossishe, ‘Xoossaw taani harata mela bonqanchcho, geellanne laymatiya asi, aadhdhida qassi ha qaraxa qanxisiya uraa mela gidonna gisho nena galatays.
The Pharisee, taking up his position, said to himself these words: God, I give you praise because I am not like other men, who take more than their right, who are evil-doers, who are untrue to their wives, or even like this tax-farmer.
12 Saaminttafe nam77u toho xoomays, ta demmiyaba ubbaafe asiraata kessays’ yaagis.
Twice in the week I go without food; I give a tenth of all I have.
13 “Shin qaraxa qanxiseyssi qassi haahon eqqidi hari attoshin salo dhoqqu gidi xeellanawukka yayyidi ba tiraa iccishe ‘Xoossaw, tana nagaranchchuwa maararkii’ gidi woossis.
The tax-farmer, on the other hand, keeping far away, and not lifting up even his eyes to heaven, made signs of grief and said, God, have mercy on me, a sinner.
14 Ta hinttew odeyssa si7ite; Farisaawiyappe hayssi qaraxa qanxiseyssi Xoossaa sinthan xillo gididi ba soo simmis. Ays giikko, bana dhoqqu dhoqqu oothiya asi kawuyana, bana kawushshiya asi dhoqqu dhoqqu gaana” yaagis.
I say to you, This man went back to his house with God's approval, and not the other: for everyone who makes himself high will be made low and whoever makes himself low will be made high.
15 Yesuusi yooga nayta bolla ba kushiya wothidi anjjana mela asay iyaakko ehoosona. Yesuusa tamaareti hessa be7idi ays Yesuusakko eheeti yaagidi kaccidosona.
And they took their children to him, so that he might put his hands on them: but when the disciples saw it, they said sharp words to them
16 Shin Yesuusi nayta baakko xeegidi, “Yooga nayti taakko yaanayssa diggofite; yo giite. Ays giikko, Xoossaa kawotethay enttada hanidayssatassa.
But Jesus sent for them, saying, Let the children come to me, and do not keep them away, for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
17 Taani hinttew tuma odays; Xoossaa kawotethaa yooga naytatho ekkonnay oonikka yaa gelenna” yaagis.
Truly I say to you, Whoever does not put himself under the kingdom of God like a little child, will not come into it at all.
18 Ayhude halaqatappe issoy, “Keeha asttamaariyaw, merinaa de7uwa demmanaw ay ootho?” yaagidi oychchis. (aiōnios g166)
And a certain ruler put a question to him, saying, Good Master, what have I to do so that I may have eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
19 Yesuusi iyaakko, “Ays tana keehaw yaagada xeegay? Issi Xoossaafe attin hari keehi baawa.
And Jesus said to him, Why do you say that I am good? No one is good, but only God.
20 Laammofa, wodhoppa, kaysotoppa, worddo markkattofa, ne aawanne ne aayiw bonchcha yaagiya kiitaa eray” yaagidi oychchis.
You have knowledge of what the law says: Do not be untrue to your wife, Do not put anyone to death, Do not take what is not yours, Do not give false witness, Give honour to your father and mother.
21 Uraykka, “Hessata ubbaa taani na7atethafe doomada naagashe gam77as” yaagis.
And he said, All these things I have done from the time when I was a boy.
22 Yesuusi hessa si7ida wode, “Hiza, new issibay paccees; new de7iyaba ubbaa bayzada manqotas imma; salon nena shaloy naagees. Yaata simmada tana kaalla” yaagis.
And Jesus, hearing it, said to him, One thing you still have need of; get money for your goods, and give it away to the poor, and you will have wealth in heaven; and come after me.
23 Shin uray hessa si7ida wode iyaw daro shaloy de7iya gisho daro qiirottis.
But at these words he became very sad, for he had great wealth.
24 Yesuusi uraa be7idi, “Dure asas Xoossaa kawotethaa geloy waanidi un77anddeshsha?
And Jesus, looking at him, said, How hard it is for those who have wealth to get into the kingdom of God!
25 Durey Xoossaa kawotethaa gelanayssafe gimaley narppe luhora kantheyssi kawuyees” yaagis.
It is simpler for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a man who has much money to come into the kingdom of God.
26 Hessa si7ida asay, “Hessa gidikko ooni attanee?” yaagidosona.
And those who were present said, Then who may have salvation?
27 Yesuusi, “Asas dandda7ettonabay Xoossaas dandda7ettees” yaagis.
But he said, Things which are not possible with man are possible with God.
28 Phexiroosi, “Hekko nuuni nubaa ubbaa aggidi nena kaallida” yaagis.
And Peter said, See, we have given up what is ours to come after you.
29 “Yesuusi tuma ta hinttew odays; Xoossaa kawotethaas gidi ba keethaa woykko ba machchiw woykko ba ishata woykko ba aawanne ba aayiw woykko ba nayta aggiday;
And he said to them, Truly I say to you, There is no man who has given up house or wife or brothers or father or mother or children, because of the kingdom of God,
31 Yesuusi tammanne nam77ata baakko xeegidi, “Ane Yerusalaame boos, nabeti Asa Na7aabaa xaafidaba ubbay yan polettana.
And he took with him the twelve and said to them, Now we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things which were said by the prophets will be done to the Son of man.
32 I Ayhude gidonna asaas aadhdhidi imettana. Entti iya toochchana, cayananne iya bolla cuttana.
For he will be given up to the Gentiles, and will be made sport of and put to shame:
33 Iya garaafidaappe guye, wodhana, shin heedzantho gallasan I hayqoppe denddana” yaagis.
And he will be given cruel blows and put to death, and on the third day he will come back to life.
34 Shin iya tamaareti hessa ubbaafe issibaakka akeekibookkona. Iya xuuray enttaw qosettida gisho I woygidaakko eribookkona.
But they did not take in the sense of any of these words, and what he said was not clear to them, and their minds were not able to see it.
35 Yesuusi Iyaarkko matattiya wode issi qooqe uray oge gaxan uttidi woossees.
And it came about that when he got near Jericho, a certain blind man was seated by the side of the road, making requests for money from those who went by.
36 Qooqe uray asay he bessaara aadhdhishin si7idi, “I aybe?” gidi oychchis.
And hearing the sound of a great number of people going by, he said, What is this?
37 Entti, “Naazirete Yesuusi hayssara aadhdhees” yaagidosona.
And they said to him, Jesus of Nazareth is going by.
38 I, “Dawite na7aw, Yesuusa, tana maararkii” yaagidi waassis.
And he said in a loud voice, Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.
39 Sinthe sinthe biya asati, “Si7i ga” gidi hanqettidosona. Shin I, “Dawite na7aw, tana maara” yaagidi darssi waassis.
And those who were in front made protests and said to him, Be quiet: but he said all the more, O Son of David, have mercy on me.
40 Yesuusi eqqidi uraa baakko ehana mela kiittis. Uraykka, iyaakko shiiqin,
And Jesus, stopping, gave orders that he was to come to him, and when he came near, he said to him,
41 “Ta new ay oothana mela koyay?” yaagidi oychchis. Qooqey, “Godaw ta xeellanaw koyays” yaagis.
What would you have me do for you? And he said, Lord, that I may be able to see again.
42 Yesuusi, “Xeella, ne ammanoy nena pathis” yaagis.
And Jesus said, See again: your faith has made you well.
43 Uray sohuwara xeelli aggis. Xoossaa bonchchishe Yesuusa kaallis. Asa ubbay hessa be7idi Xoossaa galatidosona.
And straight away he was able to see, and he went after him, giving glory to God; and all the people when they saw it gave praise to God.
