Luqaas 16
1 Yesuus barattoota isaatiin akkana jedhe; “Namicha sooressa nama hojii isaa adeemsisuuf qabu tokkotu ture; akka hojii adeemsisaan sun qabeenya isaa jalaa balleessaa jirus sooressa sanatti himan.
Then He said further to His disciples: “There was a certain rich man who had a manager, who was accused to him of wasting his goods.
2 Sooressi sunis hojii adeemsisaa sana ofitti waamee, ‘Wanni ani waaʼee kee dhagaʼu kun maalii? Ati siʼachi waan hojii adeemsisaa taʼuu hin dandeenyeef, hojii adeemsisaa turte sana irratti gabaasa naa dhiʼeessi’ jedheen.
So he called him in and said to him: ‘What is this I hear about you? Render an account of your stewardship, because you can no longer be manager.’
3 “Hojii adeemsisaan sunis garaa isaa keessatti akkana jedhe; ‘Waan gooftaan koo hojii keessaa na baasuuf, maal naa wayya? Lafa qotuuf humna hin qabu; kadhachuu immoo nan qaanaʼa.
Then the manager said within himself: ‘What shall I do? My master is taking the management away from me. I do not have strength to dig; I am ashamed to beg
4 Akka yeroo ani hojii keessaa ariʼamutti namoonni mana isaaniitti na simataniif waanan godhu anuu beeka.’
—I know what I will do, so that whenever I am removed from the management they may receive me into their houses.’
5 “Innis warra gatiin gooftaa isaa irra jiru tokko tokkoon waamee, isa jalqabaatiin, ‘Idaan gooftaa koo hammamitu sirra jira?’ jedhee gaafate.
Summoning each one of his master's debtors, he said to the first, ‘How much do you owe my master?’
6 “Namichis, ‘Zayitii ejersaa hubboo dhibba saddeeti’ jedhee deebise. “Hojii adeemsisaan sunis, ‘Waraqaa walii galtee kee hooʼu; dafii taaʼiitii dhibba afur jedhii barreessi’ jedheen.
And he said, ‘A hundred baths of olive oil.’ So he said to him, ‘Take your bill and sit down quickly and write fifty.’
7 “Isa lammaffaadhaanis, ‘Sirra immoo hammamitu jira?’ jedhee gaafate. “Innis, ‘Qamadii guuboo kuma tokkoo’ jedheen. “Hojii adeemsisaan sunis, ‘Waraqaa walii galtee kee hooʼuutii, 80 jedhii barreessi’ jedheen.
Then he said to another, ‘And how much do you owe?’ And he said, ‘A hundred measures of wheat.’ So he said to him, ‘Take your bill and write eighty.’
8 “Hojii adeemsisaan hin amanamne sun waan abshaala taʼeef gooftichi isa jaje; namoonni addunyaa kanaa warra akka isaanii wajjin haajaa isaanii guutachuu irratti namoota ifaa caalaa abshaalotaatii. (aiōn g165)
The master even ‘commended’ the dishonest manager, because he had acted shrewdly. The sons of this age are shrewder in their own generation than the sons of the Light. (aiōn g165)
9 Ani isinittin hima; akka isaan yeroo qabeenyi sun dhumutti mana bara baraatti isin simataniif qabeenya addunyaatiin ofii keessaniif michoota horadhaa. (aiōnios g166)
“I even say to you, make friends for yourselves by means of unrighteous mammon, so that whenever you fail, they may receive you into the eternal dwellings! (aiōnios g166)
10 “Namni waan xinnootti amanamu kam iyyuu waan baayʼeettis ni amanama; namni waan xinnootti hin amanamne kam iyyuu immoo waan baayʼeettis hin amanamu.
He who is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much, and he who is dishonest in a very little is dishonest also in much.
11 Yoos isin yoo qabeenya addunyaatti hin amanamne, qabeenya dhugaatti immoo eenyutu isin amana ree?
If therefore you have not been faithful with the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the genuine?
12 Yoo isin qabeenya nama biraa irratti hin amanamne, qabeenya mataa keessanii immoo eenyutu isinii kenna ree?
And if you have not been faithful in what belongs to another, who will give you what is your own?
13 “Namni gooftota lama tajaajiluu dandaʼu tokko iyyuu hin jiru. Isa tokko jibbitee isa kaan jaallattaatii; yookaan isa tokkoof of kennitee isa kaan immoo tuffatta. Isinis Waaqaa fi maallaqa tajaajiluu hin dandeessan.”
No servant can serve two masters; either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon!”
14 Fariisonni warri maallaqa jaallatan waan kana hunda dhagaʼanii Yesuusitti qoosan.
Now the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, were also listening to all these things, and they were ridiculing Him.
15 Innis akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Isin warra fuula namootaa duratti qajeeltota of gootanii dha; Waaqni garuu garaa keessan beeka. Wanni nama biratti akka malee kabajamu fuula Waaqaa duratti jibbisiisaadhaatii.
So He said to them: “You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. That which is exalted among men is an abomination before God.
16 “Seerrii fi raajonni hamma Yohannisitti labsaman. Yeroo sanaa jalqabee wangeelli mootummaa Waaqaa lallabamaa jira; namni hundinuus itti galuuf wal dhiiba.
The Law and the Prophets were until John; since then the Kingdom of God is being proclaimed, and every one is trying to force his way into it.
17 Seera keessaa tuqaan hundumaa gadii dhabamuu irra samii fi lafti dhabamuutu salphata.
But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one tittle of the Law to fail.
18 “Namni niitii isaa hiikee dubartii biraa fuudhu kam iyyuu ejja raawwata; namni dubartii dhirsa ishee hiikte fuudhus ejja raawwata.
“Whoever divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and whoever marries her who is divorced from her husband commits adultery.
19 “Namicha sooressa uffata dhiilgee haphii kan quncee talbaa irraa hojjetame uffatee, guyyuma guyyaan qananiidhaan jiraatu tokkotu ture.
“Now there was a certain rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen, living in luxury every day.
20 Karra isaa dura immoo namichi hiyyeessi Alʼaazaar jedhamu kan dhagni isaa hundi mammadaaʼe tokko ciisaa ture.
And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores, who had been placed at his gate,
21 Innis hambaa maaddii sooressa sanaa irraa harcaʼu illee nyaachuu ni kajeela ture; saroonni iyyuu dhufanii madaa isaa arraabu turan.
just wanting to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table—why even the dogs would come and lick his sores!
22 “Gaaf tokko namichi hiyyeessi sun duunaan ergamoonni Waaqaa isa baatanii gara bobaa Abrahaamitti isa geessan; sooressichis duʼee awwaalame.
In due time the beggar died and was carried away to Abraham's bosom by the angels. “The rich man also died and was buried.
23 Utuu Siiʼool keessatti dhiphachaa jiruus ol milʼatee Abrahaamin fagootti, Alʼaazaarin immoo bobaa Abrahaam keessatti arge. (Hadēs g86)
And in Hades he looked up and saw Abraham at a distance, and Lazarus very close to him. And being in torment, (Hadēs g86)
24 Innis iyyee, ‘Yaa Abbaa koo Abrahaam, waan ani ibidda kana keessatti dhiphachaa jiruuf maaloo garaa naa laafiitii akka inni fiixee quba isaa bishaan keessa cuuphee arraba koo naa qabbaneessuuf Alʼaazaarin naa ergi’ jedheen.
he called out, saying, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; because I am tormented by this flame!’
25 “Abrahaam garuu akkana jedhee deebise; ‘Yaa ilma ko, ati bara jireenya keetiitti waan gaarii akka argatte, Alʼaazaar immoo waan hamaa akka argate yaadadhu; amma garuu asitti isatti toleera; ati immoo dhiphachaa jirta.
But Abraham said: ‘Child, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus had bad things; but now he is being comforted, and you tormented.
26 Waan kana hunda irrattis, akka warri nu biraa gara keessan dhufuu barbaadan dhufuu hin dandeenyeef yookaan akka warri isin biraa gara keenyatti ceʼuu hin dandeenyeef nuu fi isin gidduu boolla guddaatu jira.’
And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot, nor can anyone from there cross over to us.’
27 “Dureessi sunis akkana jedhee deebise; ‘Yoos yaa Abbaa, akka ati gara mana abbaa kootti Alʼaazaarin naa ergitu sin kadhadha;
Then he said, ‘I beg you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father's house,
28 ani obboloota shan qabaatii; akka isaanis iddoo dhiphinaa kana hin dhufneef inni dhaqee isaan haa akeekkachiisu.’
because I have five brothers, so that he may testify to them, lest they also come to this place of torment.’
29 “Abrahaam garuu, ‘Isaan Musee fi raajota qabu; isaanuma haa dhagaʼan’ jedhe.
Abraham said to him, ‘They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.’
30 “Dureessichis, ‘Akkas miti; yaa abbaa koo Abrahaam; yoo warra duʼan keessaa namni tokko gara isaanii dhaqe garuu, isaan qalbii ni jijjiirratu’ jedheen.
So he said to him, ‘Oh no, father Abraham—if someone from the dead should go to them, they will repent!’
31 “Abrahaamis, ‘Isaan yoo Musee fi raajota hin dhageenye, yoo namni tokko warra duʼan keessaa kaʼe illee hin amanan’ jedheen.”
He said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the prophets, they will not be persuaded even if someone should rise from the dead.’”
