Luqaas 20
1 Gaaf tokko utuu Yesuus mana qulqullummaa keessatti namoota barsiisuu, utuu wangeelas lallabuu luboonni hangafoonnii fi barsiistonni seeraa maanguddoota wajjin gara isaa dhufan.
And it happened that, on one of the days when he was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the Gospel, the leaders of the priests, and the scribes, gathered together with the elders,
2 Isaanis, “Ati akka taayitaa maaliitiin waan kana hojjettu nutti himi. Eenyutu taayitaa kana siif kenne” jedhan.
and they spoke to him, saying: “Tell us, by what authority do you do these things? Or, who is it that has given you this authority?”
3 Innis akkana jedhee deebise; “Anis gaaffii tokkon isin gaafadha. Isin immoo natti himaa:
And in response, Jesus said to them: “I will also question you about one word. Respond to me:
4 Cuuphaan Yohannis samii irraa dhufe moo nama biraa dhufe?”
The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?”
5 Isaanis waliin mariʼatanii akkana jedhan; “Yoo nu, ‘Samii irraa dhufe’ jenne inni immoo, ‘Isin maaliif isa hin amanin ree?’ jedhee nu gaafata.
So they discussed it among themselves, saying: “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Then why did you not believe him?’
6 Yoo nu, ‘Nama biraa dhufe’ jenne garuu namoonni hundinuu akka Yohannis raajii taʼe waan amananiif dhagaadhaan nu tumu.”
But if we say, ‘Of men,’ the whole people will stone us. For they are certain that John was a prophet.”
7 Kanaaf isaan, “Inni eessaa akka dhufe nu hin beeknu” jedhan.
And so they responded that they did not know where it was from.
8 Yesuus immoo, “Anis taayitaa maaliitiin akkan waan kana hojjedhu isinitti hin himu” jedheen.
And Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
9 Innis akkana jedhee fakkeenya kana namootatti himuu jalqabe; “Namichi tokko iddoo dhaabaa wayinii irra wayinii dhaabbatee, qonnaan bultootatti kiraa kennatee biyya fagoo dhaqee yeroo dheeraa ture.
Then he began to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard, and he loaned it to settlers, and he was on a sojourn for a long time.
10 Innis yeroo midhaan walitti qabamutti akka isaan ija iddoo dhaabaa wayinii irraa waa kennaniif garbicha tokko qottuuwwan sanatti ergate. Qottuuwwan sun garuu tumanii harka duwwaa of irraa isa deebisan.
And in due time, he sent a servant to the farmers, so that they would give to him from the fruit of the vineyard. And they beat him and drove him away, empty-handed.
11 Innis garbicha biraa ergate; isaan garuu isas tumanii, qaanessaniis harka duwwaa of irraa isa deebisan.
And he continued to send another servant. But beating him and treating him with contempt, they likewise sent him away, empty-handed.
12 Amma illee garbicha sadaffaa ergate; isaan immoo isas madeessanii gad isa darbatan.
And he continued to send a third. And wounding him also, they drove him away.
13 “Ergasii abbichi iddoo dhaabaa wayinii, ‘Maal gochuu naa wayya? Kaʼeen ilma koo jaallatamaa itti erga; tarii isa ni kabaju taʼaatii’ jedhe.
Then the lord of the vineyard said: ‘What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. Perhaps when they have seen him, they will respect him.’
14 “Qottoonni sun garuu yommuu isa arganitti, ‘Dhaaltuun isa kana; kottaa isa ajjeefnaa; dhaalli sun kan keenya taʼaatii’ jedhanii walii wajjin dudubbatan.
And when the settlers had seen him, they discussed it among themselves, saying: ‘This one is the heir. Let us kill him, so that the inheritance will be ours.’
15 Kanaafuu isaan iddoo dhaabaa wayinii keessaa gad baasanii isa ajjeesan. “Egaa abbaan iddoo dhaabaa wayinii sanaa maal isaan godhinna laata?
And forcing him outside of the vineyard, they killed him. What, then, will the lord of the vineyard do to them?”
16 Inni dhufee qottuuwwan sana ni ajjeesa; iddoo dhaabaa wayinii sanas namoota biraatti kennata.” Namoonnis yommuu waan kana dhagaʼanitti, “Waaqni waan kana hin fidin!” jedhan.
“He will come and destroy those settlers, and he will give the vineyard to others.” And upon hearing this, they said to him, “Let it not be.”
17 Yesuusis isaan ilaalee, akkana jedhe; “Egaa inni, “‘Dhagaan ijaartonni tuffatan dhagaa golee taʼeera jedhamee barreeffame maal jechuu isaati ree’?
Then, gazing at them, he said: “Then what does this mean, which is written: ‘The stone which the builders have rejected, the same has become the head of the corner?’
18 Namni dhagaa sana irratti kufu hundinuu caccabee bututa; namni dhagichi irratti kufu kam iyyuu ni daakama.”
Everyone who falls on that stone will be shattered. And anyone upon whom it falls will be crushed.”
19 Barsiistonni seeraatii fi luboonni hangafoonni akka inni fakkeenya kana isaaniin mormuun dubbate waan beekaniif yeruma sana isa qabuu barbaadan. Garuu namoota sana sodaatan.
And the leaders of the priests, and the scribes, were seeking to lay hands on him in that same hour, but they feared the people. For they realized that he had spoken this parable about them.
20 Jarris isa gaadaa, akka isaan waan inni dubbatuun isa qabanii dabarsanii humnaa fi taayitaa bulchaatti isa kennaniif jedhanii basaastota nama nagaa of fakkeessan ergan.
And being attentive, they sent traitors, who would pretend that they were just, so that they might catch him in his words and then hand him over to the power and authority of the procurator.
21 Basaastonni sunis akkana jedhanii isa gaafatan; “Yaa Barsiisaa, nu akka ati waan qajeelaa dubbatuu fi waanuma qajeelaa barsiiftu, akkasumas akka ati dhugaadhaan karaa Waaqaa barsiisuu malee nama wal hin caalchifne beekna.
And they questioned him, saying: “Teacher, we know that you speak and teach correctly, and that you do not consider anyone’s status, but you teach the way of God in truth.
22 Qeesaariif gibira kaffaluun eeyyamameera moo hin eeyyamamne?”
Is it lawful for us to pay the tribute to Caesar, or not?”
23 Inni garuu haxxummaa isaanii argee akkana isaaniin jedhe;
But realizing their deceitfulness, he said to them: “Why do you test me?
24 “Mee diinaarii tokko natti argisiisaa. Fakkii fi katabbii eenyuutu isa irra jira?” Isaanis, “Kan Qeesaar” jedhanii deebisan.
Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription does it have?” In response, they said to him, “Caesar’s.”
25 Kana irratti inni, “Yoos kan Qeesaar Qeesaariif, kan Waaqaa immoo Waaqaaf kennaa” jedheen.
And so, he said to them: “Then repay the things that are Caesar’s, to Caesar, and the things that are God’s, to God.”
26 Isaanis waan inni dubbateen fuula namootaa duratti isa qabuu hin dandeenye. Deebii isaas dinqisiifatanii calʼisan.
And they were not able to contradict his word before the people. And being amazed at his answer, they were silent.
27 Saduuqota duʼaa kaʼuun hin jiru jedhan keessaa tokko tokko waa gaafachuuf jedhanii gara Yesuus dhufan;
Now some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is a resurrection, approached him. And they questioned him,
28 akkanas jedhan; “Yaa Barsiisaa yoo obboleessi nama tokkoo niitii fuudhee utuu ijoollee hin dhalchin duʼe, akka namichi sun niitii sana dhaalee ijoollee dhalchee obboleessa isaatiif sanyii dabarsu Museen nuu barreesseera.
saying: “Teacher, Moses wrote for us: If any man’s brother will have died, having a wife, and if he does not have any children, then his brother should take her as his wife, and he should raise up offspring for his brother.
29 Kunoo obboloota torbatu ture. Inni hangafni niitii fuudhee ijoollee malee duʼe.
And so there were seven brothers. And the first took a wife, and he died without sons.
30 Inni lammaffaan,
And the next one married her, and he also died without a son.
31 inni sadaffaanis ishee fuudhan; haaluma wal fakkaatuun isaan torbanuu utuu ijoollee hin dhalchin duʼan.
And the third married her, and similarly all seven, and none of them left behind any offspring, and they each died.
32 Dhuma irratti dubartittiinis ni duute.
Last of all, the woman also died.
33 Egaa guyyaa duʼaa kaʼuutti isheen niitii isa kamii taati? Torban isaanii iyyuu ishee fuudhaniiruutii.”
In the resurrection, then, whose wife will she be? For certainly all seven had her as a wife.”
And so, Jesus said to them: “The children of this age marry and are given in marriage. (aiōn g165)
35 Warri addunyaa dhufuuf jiruu fi duʼaa kaʼuu keessatti hirmaachuun isaanii malu garuu hin fuudhan; hin heerumanis. (aiōn g165)
Yet truly, those who shall be held worthy of that age, and of the resurrection from the dead, will neither be married, nor take wives. (aiōn g165)
36 Isaan waan akka ergamootaa taʼaniif deebiʼanii hin duʼan; waan ijoollee duʼaa kaʼuu taʼaniifis isaan ijoollee Waaqaa ti.
For they can no longer die. For they are equal to the Angels, and they are children of God, since they are children of the resurrection.
37 Garuu Museen iyyuu seenaa waaʼee daggalaa keessatti akka warri duʼan duʼaa kaʼan argisiiseera; inni Gooftaadhaan, ‘Waaqa Abrahaam, Waaqa Yisihaaqii fi Waaqa Yaaqoob’jedhee waamaatii.
For in truth, the dead do rise again, as Moses also showed beside the bush, when he called the Lord: ‘The God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’
38 Inni Waaqa warra jiraataniiti malee Waaqa warra duʼanii miti; hundinuu isaaf jiraatoodhaatii.”
And so he is not the God of the dead, but of the living. For all are alive to him.”
39 Barsiistota seeraa keessaa tokko tokko, “Yaa Barsiisaa, dhugaa jette!” jedhanii deebisan.
Then some of the scribes, in response, said to him, “Teacher, you have spoken well.”
40 Namni tokko iyyuu deebiʼee gaaffii isa gaafachuuf ija hin jabaanne.
And they no longer dared to question him about anything.
41 Yesuusis akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Isaan akkamitti Kiristoosilma Daawit jechuu dandaʼu?
But he said to them: “How can they say that the Christ is the son of David?
42 Daawit mataan isaa iyyuu kitaaba faarfannaa keessatti akkana jedha; “‘Gooftichi Gooftaa kootiin akkana jedhe; “Karaa mirga koo taaʼi;
Even David himself says, in the book of Psalms: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, sit at my right hand,
43 hamma ani diinota kee, ejjeta miilla keetii siif godhutti.”’
until I set your enemies as your footstool.’
44 Daawit ‘Gooftaa’ jedhee isa waama. Yoos inni akkamitti ilma isaa taʼuu dandaʼa ree?”
Therefore, David calls him Lord. So how can he be his son?”
45 Utuu namoonni hundinuu isa dhagaʼaa jiranuu, Yesuus barattoota isaatiin akkana jedhe;
Now in the hearing of all the people, he said to his disciples:
46 “Barsiistota seeraa irraa of eeggadhaa. Isaan uffata dhedheeraa uffatanii nanaannaʼuu fi gabaa keessattis nagaa gaafatamuu, manneen sagadaa keessatti taaʼumsa ulfinaa, lafa cidhaatti immoo iddoo ulfinaa jaallatu.
“Be cautious of the scribes, who choose to walk in long robes, and who love greetings in the marketplace, and the first chairs in the synagogues, and the first places at table during feasts,
47 Isaanis mana haadha hiyyeessaa saamanii onsu; of argisiisuuf jedhaniis kadhannaa dheeressu. Namoonni kunneen adaba guddaa adabamu.”
who devour the houses of widows, feigning long prayers. These will receive the greater damnation.”
