Luqaas 15
1 Gaaf tokko warri qaraxa fuudhanii fi cubbamoonni hundi Yesuusin dhaggeeffachuudhaaf isa biratti walitti qabamaa turan.
Now all the tax collectors and sinners were approaching him to hear him.
2 Fariisonnii fi barsiistonni seeraa garuu, “Namichi kun cubbamoota simata; isaan wajjinis ni nyaata” jedhanii guunguman.
And the Pharisees and the scholars murmured, saying, This man receives sinners and eats with them.
3 Yesuusis akkana jedhee fakkeenya kana isaanitti hime;
And he spoke this parable to them, saying,
4 “Isin keessaa namni hoolota dhibba qabu tokko yoo hoolaan tokko jalaa bade, hoolota sagaltamii sagallan kaan lafa tikaatti dhiisee hamma hoolaa bade sana argatutti kan barbaaduu hin deemne eenyu?
What man of you, having a hundred sheep, and having lost one of them, does not leave behind the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go for that which was lost until he finds it?
5 Yommuu argatus gammadee gatiittii isaa irratti baatee,
And when he finds it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
6 mana isaatti gala. Innis michoota isaatii fi olloota isaa walitti waamee, ‘Ani hoolaa koo kan bade sana argadheeraatii na wajjin gammadaa’ jedha.
And when he comes to the house, he calls together his men friends and his men neighbors, saying to them, Rejoice with me, because I have found my sheep that was lost.
7 Ani isinittin hima; sababii qajeeltota qalbii jijjiirrachuun isaan hin barbaachifne sagaltamii sagalii irra sababii cubbamaa qalbii jijjiirratu tokkootiif samii keessatti gammachuun guddaan akkasuma ni taʼa.
I say to you, that thus there will be joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over ninety-nine righteous men who have no need of repentance.
8 “Yookaan mee dubartii saantima meetii kudhan qabdu jalaa tokko badeera haa jennuu; isheen ibsaa qabsiifattee, manas hartee hamma saantima sana argatutti jabeessitee hin barbaaddattuu?
Or what woman having ten drachmas, if she lose one drachma, does not light a lamp, and sweep the house, and seek diligently until she finds it?
9 Isheenis yommuu argatutti michoota isheetii fi olloota ishee walitti waamtee, ‘Ani saantima koo kan bade sana argadheeraatii na wajjin gammadaa’ jetti.
And when she has found it, she calls together her lady friends and lady neighbors, saying, Rejoice with me, because I found the drachma that I lost.
10 Ani isinittin hima; sababii cubbamaa qalbii jijjiirratu tokkootiif ergamoonni Waaqaa akkasuma ni gammadu.”
Thus I say to you, there becomes joy in the presence of the agents of God over one sinner who repents.
11 Yesuus ittuma fufee akkana jedhe; “Namicha ilmaan lama qabu tokkotu ture.
And he said, A certain man had two sons,
12 Ilmi quxisuun abbaa isaatiin ‘Yaa abbaa ko, qabeenya kee irraa qooda na gaʼu naa kenni’ jedhe. Abbaanis qabeenya isaa lamaan isaaniitiif ni hire.
and the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falls to me. And he divided to them his living.
13 “Ilmi quxisuun sunis utuu hin turin waan qabu hunda walitti qabatee biyya fagoo dhaqe; achittis qabeenya isaa jireenya bashannanuu irratti balleesse.
And not many days after, the younger son, having gathered all together, journeyed into a distant country, and there he squandered his wealth living recklessly.
14 Erga inni waan hunda fixee booddee beelli hamaan biyya sanatti buʼe; innis rakkachuu jalqabe.
And when he spent all, a mighty famine developed in that country, and he began to be in want.
15 Kanaafuu dhaqee lammiiwwan biyyasii keessaa isa tokkotti gale; namichi sunis akka inni booyyee tiksuuf lafa tikaatti isa erge.
And having gone, he was joined to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
16 Gurbichis qola booyyeen nyaattu sana nyaatee garaa guutachuu kajeela ture; garuu namni tokko iyyuu waa isatti hin kennu ture.
And he longed to fill his belly from the husks that the swine ate, and no man gave to him.
17 “Innis yommuu of beeketti akkana jedhe; ‘Tajaajiltoonni mana abbaa kootti qacaraman hammamitu buddeena gaʼee irraa hafu qaba! Ani garuu asitti beelaan nan duʼa.
But when he came to himself, he said, How many hired men of my father's have abundance of loaves, but I am perishing with hunger.
18 Ani kaʼeen abbaa kootti deebiʼee akkana jedhaan; “Yaa abbaa ko, ani samii fi sitti cubbuu hojjedheera.
After rising, I will go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and in thy sight.
19 Siʼachi ilma kee jedhamuun naaf hin malu; tajaajiltoota kee keessaa akka isa tokkootti na ilaali.”’
I am no more worthy to be called thy son. Make me as one of thy hired men.
20 Innis kaʼee gara abbaa isaa dhaqe. “Garuu utuu inni fagoo jiruu abbaan isaa isa argee akka malee garaa laafeef; gara ilma isaattis fiigee itti marmee dhungate.
And having risen, he went to his father. But while he was still distant, afar off, his father saw him and felt compassion. And having ran, he fell on his neck, and kissed him much.
21 “Gurbichis, ‘Yaa abbaa ko, ani samii fi sitti cubbuu hojjedheera; siʼachi ilma kee jedhamuun naaf hin malu’ jedheen.
And the son said to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and in thy sight. I am no more worthy to be called thy son.
22 “Abbaan isaa garuu garboota isaatiin akkana jedhe; ‘Dafaatii uffata uffata hunda caalu fidaa isatti uffisaa; quba isaatti qubeelaa, miilla isaattis kophee kaaʼaa.
But the father said to his bondmen, Bring forth the best robe and clothe him, and give a ring for his hand, and shoes for his feet.
23 Dibicha gabbataa fidaatii qalaa; haa nyaannuu; haa gammannus.
And having brought the fatted calf, kill it, and having eaten, we will be cheerful,
24 Ilmi koo kun duʼee tureetii; amma immoo jireenyatti deebiʼeeraa. Badees ture; amma immoo argameera.’ Isaanis gammaduu jalqaban.
because this my son was dead, and became alive again. And he was lost, and is found. And they began to be cheerful.
25 “Yeroo sanatti ilmi inni hangafti lafa qotiisaa ture; innis yeroo dhufee manatti dhiʼaatetti muuziiqaa fi sirba dhagaʼe.
But his elder son was in a field. And while coming, having approached the house, he heard music and dancing.
26 Kanaafuu tajaajiltoota keessaa nama tokko waamee waan taʼaa jiru gaafate.
And having summoned one of the boys, he inquired what these things might be.
27 Tajaajilaan sunis deebisee, ‘Obboleessi kee galeera; abbaan kees waan ilma isaa nagaa fi fayyaadhaan argateef dibicha gabbataa qale’ jedheen.
And he said to him, Thy brother arrived, and thy father has killed the fatted calf, because he received him back healthy.
28 “Obboleessi hangafni garuu aaree ol seenuu dide; kanaaf abbaan isaa gad baʼee isa kadhate.
But he was angry, and would not go in. Therefore, his father having come out, he called him.
29 Inni immoo deebisee abbaa isaatiin akkana jedhe; ‘Ilaa ani waggoota kanneen hunda akkuma garbaatti siif hojjechaan ture; ajaja kee illee didee hin beeku. Ati garuu akka ani michoota koo wajjin gammaduuf takkumaa ilmoo reʼee tokko illee naa hin kennine.
But having answered, he said to his father, Lo, so many years do I serve thee, and I never passed by a commandment of thine, and yet thou never gave me a goat that I might be merry with my friends.
30 Garuu ilmi kee inni sagaagaltoota wajjin qabeenya kee balleesse kun deebiʼee manatti gallaan dibicha gabbataa qalteef!’
But when this thy son came, who has devoured thy living with harlots, thou killed for him the fatted calf.
31 “Abbaan isaas akkana jedheen; ‘Yaa ilma koo ati yeroo hunda anuma wajjin jirta; wanni ani qabu hundinuus kanuma kee ti.
And he said to him, Child, thou are always with me, and all my things are yours.
32 Garuu obboleessi kee inni duʼee ture kun waan jireenyatti deebiʼeef nu gammaduu fi ililchuu qabna. Inni badee ture; amma immoo argameera.’”
But it was needful to make merry and be glad, because this thy brother was dead, and became alive again, and was lost, and was found.
