Luuqaasa 18
1 Yesuusi ba tamaareta azalonna ubba wode woossana mela tamaarssanaw koyidi yaagidi leemiso odis.
He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray and not give up,
2 “Issi kataman Xoossaas yashettonna asaskka yeellatonna issi daynni de7ees
saying, “There was a judge in a certain city who didn’t fear God and didn’t respect man.
3 He kataman issi am77iya da7awusu. Iyakka, ‘Tawunne ta morkkiyas giddon de7iya mootuwa pirdda’ yaagada ubba wode he daynnaako simerettawusu.
A widow was in that city, and she often came to him, saying, ‘Defend me from my adversary!’
4 Daynnay guutha wodes I odaa si7onna ixxis, shin guyeppe ba wozanan, ‘Taani Xoossaas yayyonna, asas yeellatonna ixxikokka,
He wouldn’t for a while; but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect man,
5 ha am77iya tana waaysiya gisho iw pirddana; yaatonna ixxiko ubba wode yada tana salethana’ yaagidi qoppis” yaagis.
yet because this widow bothers me, I will defend her, or else she will wear me out by her continual coming.’”
6 Godaykka, “Geella daynnay gidayssa si7ideta
The Lord said, “Listen to what the unrighteous judge says.
7 Xoossay qammanne gallas iyaakko waassiya ba dooridayssatas pirddeneyye? Enttana maaddanaw gam77iyye?
Won’t God avenge his chosen ones who are crying out to him day and night, and yet he exercises patience with them?
8 Ta hinttew odeyssa si7ite, ellesidi pirddana. Gidoshin, Asa Na7ay yaa wode sa7a bolla ammano demmanddeshsha?” yaagis.
I tell you that he will avenge them quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”
9 Qassi zaaridi, Yesuusi, banttana xillo asada oothidi ceeqetteyssatasinne harata kadheyssatas hayssada yaagidi leemiso odis.
He also spoke this parable to certain people who were convinced of their own righteousness, and who despised all others:
10 “Nam77u asati woossanaw Xoossa Keethi bidosona. Issoy Farisaawe hankkoy qassi qaraxa qanxisiya asi.
“Two men went up into the temple to pray; one was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector.
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 stood and prayed by himself like this: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like the rest of men: extortionists, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.
12 Saaminttafe nam77u toho xoomays, ta demmiyaba ubbaafe asiraata kessays’ yaagis.
I fast twice a week. I give tithes of all that I get.’
13 “Shin qaraxa qanxiseyssi qassi haahon eqqidi hari attoshin salo dhoqqu gidi xeellanawukka yayyidi ba tiraa iccishe ‘Xoossaw, tana nagaranchchuwa maararkii’ gidi woossis.
But the tax collector, standing far away, wouldn’t even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his chest, saying, ‘God, be merciful to 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 tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
15 Yesuusi yooga nayta bolla ba kushiya wothidi anjjana mela asay iyaakko ehoosona. Yesuusa tamaareti hessa be7idi ays Yesuusakko eheeti yaagidi kaccidosona.
They were also bringing their babies to him, that he might touch them. But when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
16 Shin Yesuusi nayta baakko xeegidi, “Yooga nayti taakko yaanayssa diggofite; yo giite. Ays giikko, Xoossaa kawotethay enttada hanidayssatassa.
Yeshua summoned them, saying, “Allow the little children to come to me, and don’t hinder them, for God’s Kingdom belongs to such as these.
17 Taani hinttew tuma odays; Xoossaa kawotethaa yooga naytatho ekkonnay oonikka yaa gelenna” yaagis.
Most certainly, I tell you, whoever doesn’t receive God’s Kingdom like a little child, he will in no way enter into it.”
18 Ayhude halaqatappe issoy, “Keeha asttamaariyaw, merinaa de7uwa demmanaw ay ootho?” yaagidi oychchis. (aiōnios g166)
A certain ruler asked him, saying, “Good Rabbi, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
19 Yesuusi iyaakko, “Ays tana keehaw yaagada xeegay? Issi Xoossaafe attin hari keehi baawa.
Yeshua asked him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good, except one: God.
20 Laammofa, wodhoppa, kaysotoppa, worddo markkattofa, ne aawanne ne aayiw bonchcha yaagiya kiitaa eray” yaagidi oychchis.
You know the commandments: ‘Don’t commit adultery,’ ‘Don’t murder,’ ‘Don’t steal,’ ‘Don’t give false testimony,’ ‘Honor your father and your mother.’”
21 Uraykka, “Hessata ubbaa taani na7atethafe doomada naagashe gam77as” yaagis.
He said, “I have observed all these things from my youth up.”
22 Yesuusi hessa si7ida wode, “Hiza, new issibay paccees; new de7iyaba ubbaa bayzada manqotas imma; salon nena shaloy naagees. Yaata simmada tana kaalla” yaagis.
When Yeshua heard these things, he said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have and distribute it to the poor. Then you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.”
23 Shin uray hessa si7ida wode iyaw daro shaloy de7iya gisho daro qiirottis.
But when he heard these things, he became very sad, for he was very rich.
24 Yesuusi uraa be7idi, “Dure asas Xoossaa kawotethaa geloy waanidi un77anddeshsha?
Yeshua, seeing that he became very sad, said, “How hard it is for those who have riches to enter into God’s Kingdom!
25 Durey Xoossaa kawotethaa gelanayssafe gimaley narppe luhora kantheyssi kawuyees” yaagis.
For it is easier for a camel to enter in through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter into God’s Kingdom.”
26 Hessa si7ida asay, “Hessa gidikko ooni attanee?” yaagidosona.
Those who heard it said, “Then who can be saved?”
27 Yesuusi, “Asas dandda7ettonabay Xoossaas dandda7ettees” yaagis.
But he said, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.”
28 Phexiroosi, “Hekko nuuni nubaa ubbaa aggidi nena kaallida” yaagis.
Peter said, “Look, we have left everything and followed 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;
He said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, there is no one who has left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children, for God’s Kingdom’s sake,
31 Yesuusi tammanne nam77ata baakko xeegidi, “Ane Yerusalaame boos, nabeti Asa Na7aabaa xaafidaba ubbay yan polettana.
He took the twelve aside and said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be completed.
32 I Ayhude gidonna asaas aadhdhidi imettana. Entti iya toochchana, cayananne iya bolla cuttana.
For he will be delivered up to the Gentiles, will be mocked, treated shamefully, and spit on.
33 Iya garaafidaappe guye, wodhana, shin heedzantho gallasan I hayqoppe denddana” yaagis.
They will scourge and kill him. On the third day, he will rise again.”
34 Shin iya tamaareti hessa ubbaafe issibaakka akeekibookkona. Iya xuuray enttaw qosettida gisho I woygidaakko eribookkona.
They understood none of these things. This saying was hidden from them, and they didn’t understand the things that were said.
35 Yesuusi Iyaarkko matattiya wode issi qooqe uray oge gaxan uttidi woossees.
As he came near Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the road, begging.
36 Qooqe uray asay he bessaara aadhdhishin si7idi, “I aybe?” gidi oychchis.
Hearing a multitude going by, he asked what this meant.
37 Entti, “Naazirete Yesuusi hayssara aadhdhees” yaagidosona.
They told him that Yeshua of Nazareth was passing by.
38 I, “Dawite na7aw, Yesuusa, tana maararkii” yaagidi waassis.
He cried out, “Yeshua, you 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.
Those who led the way rebuked him, that he should be quiet; but he cried out all the more, “You son of David, have mercy on me!”
40 Yesuusi eqqidi uraa baakko ehana mela kiittis. Uraykka, iyaakko shiiqin,
Standing still, Yeshua commanded him to be brought to him. When he had come near, he asked him,
41 “Ta new ay oothana mela koyay?” yaagidi oychchis. Qooqey, “Godaw ta xeellanaw koyays” yaagis.
“What do you want me to do?” He said, “Lord, that I may see again.”
42 Yesuusi, “Xeella, ne ammanoy nena pathis” yaagis.
Yeshua said to him, “Receive your sight. Your faith has healed you.”
43 Uray sohuwara xeelli aggis. Xoossaa bonchchishe Yesuusa kaallis. Asa ubbay hessa be7idi Xoossaa galatidosona.
Immediately he received his sight and followed him, glorifying God. All the people, when they saw it, praised God.
