Luuqaasa 20
1 Issi gallas Yesuusi Xoossa Keethan asaa tamaarssishininne Wonggelaa markkattishin, kahine halaqati, higge asttamaaretinne deriya cimati issife iyaakko yidi,
On one of those days, as he was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the Good News, the priests and scribes came to him with the elders.
2 “Neeni hayssata aybi maatan oothiyako nuus oda. Ha maata new immiday oonee?” yaagidi oychchidosona.
They asked him, “Tell us: by what authority do you do these things? Or who is giving you this authority?”
3 I enttako, “Takka hinttena issibaa oychchana, ane taw zaarite.
He answered them, “I also will ask you one question. Tell me:
4 Xammaqiya Yohaannisa xinqqatey Xoossafeyye asappe?” yaagis.
the baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men?”
5 Entti woli giddon yaagidi zorettidosona: “Xoossafe giikko yaatin, ays ammanibeekketii?” yaagana.
They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Why didn’t you believe him?’
6 “Asappe giikko, asay ubbay Yohaannisi nabe gideyssa ammaniyaa gisho nuna shuchchan caddana.”
But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.”
7 Yaaniya gisho, “Awuppeeko nu erokko” yaagidi zaaridosona.
They answered that they didn’t know where it was from.
8 Yesuusi zaaridi, “Hiza, takka ay maatan hayssata oothiyako hinttew odikke” yaagis.
Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
9 Hessafe guye, Yesuusi ha leemisuwa asaas yaagidi odis; “Issi asi woyne turaa tokkis. Goshshanchchotas kera immidi daro wode gam77idi yaanaw hara biitta bis.
He began to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard and rented it out to some farmers, and went into another country for a long time.
10 Woyne ayfiyaa maxiya wodey gakkin woyniya ayfiyaappe iyaw yeddana mela goshshanchchotakko ba aylliya kiittis. Shin goshshanchchoti he aylliya oykkidi wadhdhidi mela kushe yeddidosona.
At the proper season, he sent a servant to the farmers to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard. But the farmers beat him and sent him away empty.
11 Kaallidikka hara aylliya kiittis. Qassi goshshanchchoti iya wadhdhidi, kawushshidi mela kushe yedidosona.
He sent yet another servant, and they also beat him and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.
12 Ha77ika zaaridi heedzantho aylliya kiittis. Goshshanchchoti iyakka madunxisidi woyniya turaa giddofe gaxa kessidi yeggidosona.
He sent yet a third, and they also wounded him and threw him out.
13 “Woyniya goday, ‘Yaatin ta ay ootho? Ane qassi ta dosiya ta na7aa yeddana; ooni eri entti iya bonchchonna aggokona’ yaagis.
The lord of the vineyard said, ‘What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. It may be that seeing him, they will respect him.’
14 “Shin goshshanchchoti uraa na7aa be7ida wode, ‘Hayssi iya laatteyssa, haa yiite iya wodhana, yaatikko laatay nuus gidana’ yaagidi zorettidosona.
“But when the farmers saw him, they reasoned amongst themselves, saying, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.’
15 Woyniya giddofe gaxa kessidi wodhidosona. “Yaatin, woyniya goday he asata waatanee?
Then they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them?
16 Yidi he goshshanchchota dhayssana, woyniya bessaa hara asatas immana. Asay hessa si7ida wode ‘Shinchchalle hessa melabaa ehoppo’ yaagidosona.
He will come and destroy these farmers, and will give the vineyard to others.” When they heard that, they said, “May that never be!”
17 Yesuusi entta caddi xeellidi, “Yaatin ‘Gimbbe keexiya asati borida shuchchay, keethaas malanne minotethi immiya ubbaafe aadhdhiya shuchchi gidis’ geetettidi xaafettidayssa birshshethay aybe?
But he looked at them and said, “Then what is this that is written, ‘The stone which the builders rejected was made the chief cornerstone’?
18 He shuchchaa bolla kunddiya ubbay qoxettana, shuchchay iya bolla wodhdhiya ubbay liiqana” yaagis.
Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, but it will crush whomever it falls on to dust.”
19 Higge asttamaaretinne kahine halaqati ha leemisoy odettiday entta bolla gideyssa eridi he wode iya oykkanaw koyidosona, shin asaas babbidosona.
The chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him that very hour, but they feared the people—for they knew he had spoken this parable against them.
20 Hessa gisho, Yesuusa deriya haariya Roome kawuwa maatas aathi immanaw koyidi iya doonappe bala qaala naagoosona. Hessa polisanaw xillo daanidi cimmiya asata iyaakko kiittidosona.
They watched him and sent out spies, who pretended to be righteous, that they might trap him in something he said, so as to deliver him up to the power and authority of the governor.
21 Kiitettidi bida asati, “Asttamaariyaw, neeni odeysinne tamaarsseyssi likke gideyssa, qassi Xoossaa ogiya tumatethan tamaarsseyssanne oonakka shaakkonnayssa nu eroos.
They asked him, “Teacher, we know that you say and teach what is right, and aren’t partial to anyone, but truly teach the way of God.
22 Hanoshin, Roome kawuwas giira giiranaw bessi bessennee?” yaagidi iya oychchidosona.
Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”
23 Shin I entta wozanaa iitatethaa erida gisho,
But he perceived their craftiness, and said to them, “Why do you test me?
24 “Ane tana issi santime bessite, Iya bolla de7iya misileynne sunthay oodebaye?” yaagis. Entti zaaridi, “Roome Kawuwa Qeesareyssa” yaagidosona.
Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” They answered, “Caesar’s.”
25 I zaaridi, “Yaatikko, Qeesareyssa Qeesares, Xoossayssa Xoossaas immite” yaagis.
He said to them, “Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
26 Hessa gisho, I zaarida zaaruwan asaa sinthan bala demmanaw dandda7ibookkona. Iya zaaruwan malaalettidi si7i gidosona.
They weren’t able to trap him in his words before the people. They marvelled at his answer and were silent.
27 Hayqoppe denddoy baawa yaagiya Saduqaawetappe issoti issoti Yesuusakko yidi,
Some of the Sadducees came to him, those who deny that there is a resurrection.
28 “Asttamaariyaw, issi asi machcho ekkidi na7a yelonna hayqqiko, iya ishay he maccasiw ekkidi nayta yelidi ba ishaas zerethi ashshana mela Musey xaafis.
They asked him, “Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if a man’s brother dies having a wife, and he is childless, his brother should take the wife and raise up children for his brother.
29 Hekko laappun ishati de7oosona. Koyroyssi machcho ekkidi na7a yelonna hayqqis.
There were therefore seven brothers. The first took a wife, and died childless.
30 Nam77anthoy iyo ekkidi na7a yelonna hayqqis.
The second took her as wife, and he died childless.
31 Heedzanthoyka hessatho hanis. Laappunati ubbay hessada hanidi iyo ekkidosona, shin na7a yelonna hayqqidosona.
The third took her, and likewise the seven all left no children, and died.
32 Wurssethan maccasiya hayqqasu.
Afterward the woman also died.
33 Hiza, laappun addey iyo ekkida gisho hayqoppe denddiya wode iya oode machcho gidanee?” yaagidi oychchidosona.
Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them will she be? For the seven had her as a wife.”
Jesus said to them, “The children of this age marry and are given in marriage. (aiōn g165)
But those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage. (aiōn g165)
36 Entti kiitanchcho mela gidiya gisho sinthafe hayqqokona. Hayqoppe denddida gisho entti Xoossaa nayta.
For they can’t die any more, for they are like the angels and are children of God, being children of the resurrection.
37 Musey Godaa, ‘Abrahaame Godaa, Yisaaqa Godaa, Yayqooba Godaa’ gidi tushiya giddon xuugettiya tama taarikiya xaafidayssan hayqqida asay denddeyssa bessees.
But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the bush, when he called the Lord ‘The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’
38 Ubbay iyaw de7on de7eyssata gidiya gisho I de7on de7eyssata Godaappe attin hayqqidayssata Goda gidenna” yaagidi zaaris.
Now he is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for all are alive to him.”
39 Higge asttamaaretappe issoti issoti, “Asttamaariyaw, lo77obaa odadasa” yaagidosona.
Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, you speak well.”
40 Hessafe guye, hara oysho oychchanaw yayyidosona.
They didn’t dare to ask him any more questions.
41 Iyappe kaallidi Yesuusi enttako, “Asay Kiristtoosa waattidi Dawite na7a yaagonaa?
He said to them, “Why do they say that the Christ is David’s son?
42 Ays giikko, Dawitey ba huu7en ba maxaafan, ‘Xoossay ta Godaakko ta ne morkketa ne tohoy yedhdhiyaso oothana gakkanaw taappe ushachchan baggan utta’ gis” yaagis.
David himself says in the book of Psalms, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand,
until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet.”’
44 “Hiza, Dawitey Kiristtoosa, ‘Godaa gidi xeegishe iyaw na7a waanidi gidi?’” yaagis.
“David therefore calls him Lord, so how is he his son?”
45 Derey ubbay si7ishin ba tamaaretakko,
In the hearing of all the people, he said to his disciples,
46 “Adussa ma7o ma77idi yuushshe doseyssatappe, giyan bonchcho sarotho, Ayhude Woosa Keethan bonchcho oyde, mokettiya sonkka bonchcho bessi koyaa higge asttamaaretappe naagettite.
“Beware of those scribes who like to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the marketplaces, the best seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts;
47 Entti am77eta keethaa kalloyoosona, xillo asi daanidi woosa adussoosona. Hessati ubbaafe aadhdhiya iita pirdda ekkana” yaagis.
who devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation.”
