Luqaas 14
1 Guyyaa Sanbataa tokko yommuu Yesuus buddeena nyaachuuf mana Fariisicha beekamaa tokkoo dhaqetti, namoonni xiyyeeffatanii isa ilaalaa turan.
Then it happened, when He entered the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees to eat bread on the Sabbath, that they were watching Him closely.
2 Namichi dhagni isaa dhiitaʼe tokkos fuula isaa dura ture.
And then, there in front of Him was a man who had dropsy!
3 Yesuusis, “Guyyaa Sanbataatiin nama fayyisuun ni eeyyamama moo hin eeyyamamu?” jedhee Fariisotaa fi hayyoota seeraa gaafate.
And Jesus reacted by saying to the lawyers and Pharisees, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”
4 Isaan garuu ni calʼisan; innis namicha harkaan qaqqabee fayyisee gad isa lakkise.
But they kept silent. So He took hold of him, healed him, and let him go.
5 Innis, “Isin keessaa namni tokko yoo ilma yookaan qotiyyoo guyyaa Sanbataatiin boolla keessa buʼe qabaate, inni yeruma sana harkisee boolla keessaa hin baasuu?” jedhee isaan gaafate.
Then He addressed them saying, “Which of you, if a son or an ox falls into a pit, will not immediately pull him out on the Sabbath day?”
6 Isaan garuu deebii kennuu hin dandeenye.
And they could not answer Him regarding these things.
7 Innis yommuu akka keessumoonni sun iddoo ulfinaa filatan hubatetti akkana jedhee fakkeenya kana isaanitti hime;
Then He told a parable to those who were invited, having observed how they kept trying for the best places, saying to them:
8 “Yoo namni tokko cidha fuudhaa fi heerumaatti si waame, iddoo ulfinaa hin taaʼin; tarii namni si caalaa ulfina qabu tokko waamameera taʼaatii.
“Whenever you are invited by someone to a wedding feast, do not recline in the place of honor, in case someone more honorable than you has been invited by him;
9 Namichi isin lamaanuu waame sun dhufee, ‘Namicha kanaaf kaʼi’ siin jedha; atis qaanoftee dhaqxee lafa iddoo hundumaa gad taʼe teessa.
then he who invited you both will come and say, ‘You, give this man place!’ and then, with shame, you start to take the lowest place.
10 Ati garuu yommuu waamamtu akka namichi si waame sun yeroo dhufutti, ‘Yaa michuu koo iddoo ol aanutti hiiqi’ siin jedhuuf dhaqii lafa iddoo hundumaa gad taʼe taaʼi; yoos fuula warra si wajjin maaddiitti dhiʼaatan hundumaa duratti ulfina argattaatii.
Rather, whenever you are invited, go and recline in the lowest place, so that when your host comes, he may say to you, ‘Friend, move up higher.’ Then you will have honor in the presence of your fellow guests.
11 Namni ol of qabu hundinuu gad qabamaatii; namni gad of qabu hundinuu immoo ol qabama.”
Because everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
12 Yesuusis namicha isa waame sanaan akkana jedhe; “Ati yommuu laaqana yookaan irbaata qopheessitu michoota kee yookaan obboloota kee, yookaan firoota kee, yookaan olloota kee warra sooreyyii hin waamin; yoo akkas goote isaanis deebisanii si waamu; gatiin kees siif deebifama.
Then He said directly to His host: “Whenever you give a dinner or a supper, do not invite your friends, nor your brothers, nor your relatives, nor rich neighbors, lest they also invite you back, and you be repaid.
13 Garuu yommuu cidha qopheessitu hiyyeeyyii, naafa, okkolaa fi jaamaa waami.
But whenever you make a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind;
14 Sababii isaan waan siif deebisan hin qabneef ati ni eebbifamta; gatiin kee guyyaa duʼaa kaʼuu qajeeltotaatti siif deebifamaatii.”
and you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you—you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”
15 Warra isa wajjin maaddiitti dhiʼaatan keessaa namichi tokko yommuu waan kana dhagaʼetti Yesuusiin, “Namni mootummaa Waaqaa keessatti maaddiitti dhiʼaatu eebbifamaa dha” jedhe.
Well when one of the fellow-recliners heard these things, he said to Him, “Blessed is he who will eat dinner in the Kingdom of God!”
16 Yesuus immoo akkana jedhee deebise; “Namichi tokko cidha guddaa qopheessee keessumoota hedduu affeere.
So He said to him: “A certain man prepared a great banquet and invited many.
17 Namichi sunis saʼaatii nyaataatti akka inni, ‘Kunoo, wanni hundinuu qopheeffameeraatii kottaa’ jedhee warra affeeraman sanatti himuuf garbicha isaa erge.
And at meal time he sent his slave to say to those who were invited, ‘Come, because everything is now ready.’
18 “Garuu isaan hundi bifuma tokkoon sababa dhiʼeeffachuu jalqaban; inni jalqabaa, ‘Ani lafa qotiisaa bitadheera; kanaafuu dhaqeen ilaaluu qabaatii maaloo na hin komatin’ jedheen.
But they all alike began to make excuses. The first said to him: ‘I bought a field, and I need to go and see it. I ask you to have me excused.’
19 “Inni kaan, ‘Ani qotiyyoo cimdii shan bitadheera; isaan leenjisuuf deemuuttin jiraatii, maaloo na hin komatin’ jedheen.
Another said: ‘I bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to test them. I ask you to have me excused.’
20 “Amma illee inni kaan, ‘Ani dhiʼoon niitii fuudhe; kanaafuu dhufuu hin dandaʼu’ jedheen.
Yet another said, ‘I have married a wife, and so I cannot come.’
21 “Garbichi sunis deebiʼee waan kana gooftaa isaatti hime. Abbaan mana sanaas aaree, ‘Dafii karaa guddaa fi daandii qalʼaa magaalaatti achi baʼiitii hiyyeeyyii, naafa, jaamaa fi okkolaa fidii ol seensis’ jedhee garbicha isaa ajaje.
So that slave came and reported these things to his master. Then the owner of the house became angry and said to his slave, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in here the poor and crippled and blind and lame.’
22 “Garbichi sunis, ‘Yaa gooftaa, wanni ati ajajje hundi raawwateera; garuu amma illee iddoon jira’ jedheen.
And the slave said, ‘Master, what you ordered has been done, and there is still room.’
23 “Gooftichis garbicha isaatiin akkana jedhe; ‘Akka manni koo guutamuuf karaa guddaa fi daandii baadiyyaatti achi baʼiitii akka isaan ol galan dirqisiisi.
Then the master said to the slave: ‘Go out to the roads and hedges and make people come in, so that my house may be filled.
24 Ani isinittin hima; namoota waamaman sana keessaa namni tokko iyyuu maaddii koo irraa afaaniin hin qabu.’”
For I tell you that none of those men who were invited will get a taste of my banquet!’”
25 Namoonni baayʼeen Yesuus wajjin deemaa turan; innis garagalee akkana isaaniin jedhe;
Now large crowds were traveling with Him, and turning He said to them:
26 “Namni gara koo dhufu kam iyyuu yoo abbaa isaatii fi haadha isaa, niitii isaatii fi ijoollee isaa, obboloota isaatii fi obboleettota isaa akkasumas lubbuu isaa illee hin jibbine inni barataa koo taʼuu hin dandaʼu.
“If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple.
27 Namni fannoo ofii isaa baadhatee na duukaa hin buune kam iyyuus barataa koo taʼuu hin dandaʼu.
And whoever does not carry his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
28 “Mee isin keessaa namni tokko gamoo ijaarrachuu barbaada haa jennuu; namichi sun gamoo sana ijaaree fixuuf horii gaʼaa qabaachuu fi qabaachuu baachuu isaa beekuuf duraan dursee taaʼee gatii isaa hin herregatuu?
“Further, which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and calculate the cost, whether he has enough to complete it?
29 Yoo kanaa achii yommuu inni hundee kaaʼee fixuu dadhabutti, namoonni argan hundi itti qoosu.
This so he does not lay a foundation without being able to finish, and all who see it begin to ridicule him,
30 Isaanis, ‘Namichi kun ijaaruu jalqabee fixuu dadhabe’ jedhu.
saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish!’
31 “Yookaan mee mootiin tokko mootii biraa loluu dhaqa haa jennuu; inni mootii loltoota kuma digdamaan isatti dhufu tokko loltoota kuma kudhaniin of irraa loluu dandaʼuu fi dandaʼuu baachuu isaa duraan dursee taaʼee itti hin yaaduu?
“Or what king, going to engage another king in battle, does not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet the one coming against him with twenty thousand?
32 Yoo hin dandeenye immoo utuu mootichi kaan isa irraa fagoo jiruu bakka buʼoota itti ergee akka nagaan buʼu kadhata.
And if not, while the other is still far away he sends a delegation and asks for terms for peace.
33 Akkanumas isin keessaa namni waan qabu hunda hin dhiifne kam iyyuu barataa koo taʼuu hin dandaʼu.
“So likewise, any of you who does not renounce all his own possessions cannot be my disciple.
34 “Soogiddi gaarii dha; garuu yoo inni miʼaa isaa dhabe, miʼaan isaa akkamiin deebifamuu dandaʼa?
Salt is good; but should the salt become insipid, with what can it be seasoned?
35 Inni biyyoof yookaan tuulaa kosiitiif faayidaa hin qabu; inni gad gatama. “Namni gurra dhagaʼu qabu kam iyyuu haa dhagaʼu.”
It is fit for neither soil nor fertilizer; it is thrown out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”
