Luk'as Dooshishiyo 11
1 Ik aaw Iyesus beyok ikoke Ik'o b́ k'onfere b́tesh, Ik' k'ononowere b́ ishtsok'on b́ danifwotsitse iko, «Doonzono! Yohans b́ danifwotssh Ik' k'ono b́ danitsok'o neewor Ik'o k'ono noosh daniwe!» bí et.
One day Jesus was somewhere praying. When he finished [praying], one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us [what to say when] we [(exc)] pray, as John [the Baptizer] taught his disciples!”
2 Iyesuswere, «Ik'o itk'onor hank'o erere bí'et, ‹Darotse beyiruwo no Nihono! Nshútso S'aynee! N mengstu wowiye!
He said to them, “When you pray, say [things like this]: ‘Father, we want you [(sg)] [MTY] to be honored/revered. [We want people to let you(sg)] [MTY, MET] rule over their lives.
3 Aaw aawon noosh nomeet misho ime!
Give us [(exc)] each day the food [SYN] that we need.
4 Noon dadtswotssh oorowe noettsok'o, No morro noosh orowa eree, Fadeyotsowere noon kindshk'aye› gondatse noon oriwe bakona.»
Forgive us [for] the wrong things that we have done, because we forgive people for the wrong things that they do to us. Do not let us do wrong things when we are tempted {[someone or something] tempts us}.’”
5 Manats dabt Iyesus b́ danifwotssh hank'owa bí'eti, «Aab ititse b́ shunts tooh detstso fa'e erone, b́ toohman t'ú talititson b́ toohman galok amr, ‹T masho, oona neesha keez misho taash gushiwe,
Then he said to them, “Suppose that one of you goes to the house of a friend at midnight. Suppose that you [(sg) stand outside and] call out to him, ‘My friend, please lend me three buns!
6 T mash ikoniye wokdatson weeron waat b́ eree t t'intsituu misho tt'ut'i!› bí etal
Another friend of mine who is traveling has just arrived [at my house], but I have no food [ready] to give to him!’
7 Eshe, b́ mootse bede'er, ‹Oona neesha taan kic'ik'aye! fengesho is'k'reke, t nana'uwotswere taantoniye es'atse bok'eyiri, manshe tuur n geyiru misho neeash imosh falratse, › etetwá?
Suppose that he answers you from inside [his house], ‘Do not bother me! The door has been locked {[We(exc)] have locked the door} and all my family are in bed. [So] I cannot get up and give you [(sg)] anything!’
8 B́ mashi b́ wottsosh dab tuur imo b́k'azalor b́ kasho b́ k'uushirwosha err bísh geyits jamo tuurni b́ imetiye etirwe itsha.
I will tell you that even if he does not [want to] get up and give you [any food], to avoid being ashamed [for not helping you] because you are his friend (OR, if without being ashamed you continue asking him to do that), he certainly will get up and give you whatever you need.
9 Manshe taawor itsh t keewirwo haniye, k'onwere itsh imetwe, maa fengesho k'ofore itsh k'eshetwe,
So I tell you this: Keep asking [God for what you need]. If you do that, [he] will give it to you [(pl)]. Confidently keep expecting [God to give you the things that you need], and [he] will give them to you [MET]. [It will be like] looking for what you need and finding it. Keep on [praying urgently to God. Then God will answer you. It will be like] knocking [on a door] so that [God] will open [the way] for you [to get what you pray for].
10 K'onitw jamo dek'etwe, geyirwonwere daatsitwe, fengesho k'ofirwosho k'eshetwe.
Remember that [God] will give things to everyone who continues to ask [him for them]. [He] will give things to whoever confidently keeps asking. [He] will open [the way] for people [to get the things that they keep urgently praying for].
11 Ititsnmó nih wotefetst, b́ na'o tusho b́ k'onor shúts imetuwo kone? Mus'o b́ k'oniyal mus'i shegro dawnzo imetwá?
If one of you had a son who asked you [(sg)] for a fish [to eat], (you [(sg)] certainly would not give him a [poisonous] snake instead!/would you give him a [poisonous] snake instead?) [RHQ]
12 Himó keetso b́ k'oniyal ok'olsho imetwa?
If he asked you for an egg, (you [(sg)] certainly would not give him a scorpion!/would you give him a scorpion?) [RHQ]
13 It gondwotsi wotefetsat it na'osh sheeng keewo imo it daniyakon, darotse fa'o itnihmó bíyoke k'onirwotssh S'ayin shayiro bogshde aak'owe imob́k'azeti!»
Even though you people are evil, you know how to give good things to your children. So your Father in heaven will certainly [give good things] to those who ask him, [including] giving the Holy Spirit, [who is the best gift].”
14 Ik aaw Iyesus noon keewo faliraw fo'erawo gidik' ash iko atsotse b́ kishfera b́ tesh, Fo'rawonwere b́ keshtsok'on gdik'o noon keewo dek't b́ tuwi, ash ashonwere keewhanatse tuutso ayi dek't bo adi.
[One day there was a man there who, because a demon controlled him] [MTY], was unable to speak. After [Jesus expelled] the demon, the man [began to] talk. [Most of] the people [there] were amazed.
15 Ik ikuwotsmó, «Fo'erawo b́kishiriye Fo'erawi naash wottso Beel Zebulnee, » bo eti.
But some of them said, “It is Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons, who enables [this man] to expel demons!”
16 K'oshwotswere bín fadbek'o geyat́ darotse milikit iko boosh b́ kitsitwok'o bo aati.
Other [people there] asked Jesus to perform a miracle [to prove (he was the Messiah/that he had come] from God) [MTY/EUP]. They wanted to trap him [into not being able to perform a miracle or into doing something ridiculous].
17 Iyesusmó bo gitsotse bo gawirwo dank'rat boosh hank'o bíet, «Ik mengsto hake bak kayeyar bí'atsatsewo b́k'aleyetka wotiyal, mengstman t'afa b́t'afiti, mank'o ik maá asho bí atsatsewo b́ k'aleyal dihe b́dihiti.
But Jesus knew what they were thinking. So he said to them, “If [the people in] one nation fight against each other, their nation will be destroyed {[they] will destroy their nation}. If [the people in] [MTY] one house are divided, they will cease to remain as one [family].
18 Mansha shed'ano bí atsatseyo b́ k'aletka wotiyal b́ mengsto ak'ok'alrniya kup'ar need'o b́ faliti? Itiyere ‹Bíhe Fo'erawo b́kishiriye Beelzebulne, › etfte taasha.
[Similarly], if Satan [and his demons] were fighting against each other, (his rule over them would [certainly] not last!/how would his rule over them last?) [RHQ] [I say this] because you are saying that I am expelling demons by [the power of] the ruler of [his own demons]
19 Taa bére, Fo'erawo t kishir Belzebulna wotiyal it nana'úwots bokishir konneya? Manshe it took nana'o dab itats angshitúne.
Furthermore, if [it is true that] Satan enables me to expel demons, [is it also true that] your disciples [who] expel demons [do so] by [Satan’s] power [RHQ]? [No, that is not true]. So they will show that you [are not thinking logically].
20 Eshe Fo'erawo tkishir taa Ik'i angona wotiyalmó Ik'i mengstu itmaants bwatsok'o dande'ere.
But because it is by the power [MTY] of God [that I expel demons], I am showing you [that the power of] God to [MET] rule [people’s lives] has come to you.”
21 «Ash kup' iko t'eesho deshde'er b́ moo b́ kotetka wotiyal b́ gizo sheengshde kotetwe,
Then, [to show that by expelling evil spirits he was making it clear that he was much more powerful than Satan, Jesus said] [MET], “When a strong man who has many weapons guards his own house, no one can steal the things in his house.
22 Ernmó bíyere bog asho wáár bín da'abdek'al detsfe bí etts kes'i gino bíatse k'aa'úni b́dek'eti, b́ giz jamonowere bi' de'er kayini b́k'riti.
But when someone else who is stronger attacks that man and subdues him, he is able to take away the weapons in which the man trusted. Then he can take from that man’s house anything he [wants to].
23 «T maants woteraw jamó taana b́ k'efiti, tiyok kakuraw jamo bad'iye b́ bad'iyiri.
[No one can be neutral]. Those who do not help me [are opposing] me, and those who do not gather [people to become] my [disciples] are causing [those people] to go away [from me].”
24 «Kim shayiro ashotse b́ keshor b́ k'ot'okoo geyoke aats aalok dats shuk' jamok b́ guriti, b́ k'ot'it beyoko b́ t'ut'almó ‹T keshts moots aanar amna› bíeteti.
[Then Jesus said this]: “[Sometimes when] an evil spirit leaves someone, it wanders around in desolate areas seeking [someone in whom it can] rest. If it does not find anyone, it says [to itself], ‘I will return to the person in whom I used to live!’
25 Aanar b́ waáfere s'ayintsdek't k'aniyetso datsb́dek'eti.
So it goes back and finds that [the Spirit of God is not in control of that person’s life. The person’s life is like] a house that has been {that someone has} swept clean and everything put {put everything} in order, [but a house that is empty].
26 Maniyere il amr biyere gondwotsi k'osh Fo'eraw shawatwotsi de'er b́ weeti, bali biitse b́ beef mootse kind de b́ beeti, ash man il b́wotitwo shintsoniyere iki gonde b́ wotiti.»
Then [this evil spirit] goes and gets seven other spirits that are [even] more evil than it is. They [all] enter [that person] and [begin] living there. [So], [although] that person’s condition [was bad] before, it became much worse.”
27 Iyesus man keewoke b́befere mááts iku ash ash taalotse b́ k'aaro eenshdek'at «Neen shuwat s'atstsu deerekiye, » bi eti.
When Jesus said that, a woman who was listening called out [to him], “[God is] pleased with the woman who gave birth to you [(sg)] and let you nurse [at her breasts]!”
28 Iyesusmó, «Deretswotsiyere Ik'i aap'tso k'ewde'er finats jitsitwotsiye, » bí et.
But he replied, “God [is] much more pleased with those who hear his message and obey it!”
29 Ay asho b́maand waat bo kakwetsok'on Iyesus hank'owa ett b́keewu, «S'oot'ahan gonde, milikit bek'e bogeyiri, ernmó nebiyo Yonaskoniye okoon k'osh milikito boosh imeratse.
When the group of people around [Jesus] got larger, he said, “[Many of] you people who have been observing my ministry are evil. You want [me to perform] a miracle [to prove that I have come from God], but the only miracle that [I] will perform for you is one [like happened to] Jonah.
30 Nebiyiyo Yonas Nenewe kititsi ashuwotssh milikit wotat b́ teshtsok'o mank'o ash na'o and duranatsi s'oot'osh milikit wotitwe.
[After Jonah was inside a huge fish for three days, God performed] a miracle [to restore] Jonah. [Jonah then went and testified about that] to the people in Nineveh [city. God will perform] a similar miracle [for me], the one who came from heaven. [When you people have seen that miracle, you will believe my message].
31 Muur Nugusu angshi aawots and duranatsi s'oot'wotsnton tuur boats angshitwane, bi Selemon dani telefo k'ebosh dats daaratse tuwat waarane, ernmó hambe, Selomoniyere bogo hanoke fa'ee.
[Long ago the] queen from [Sheba], [far] south [of Israel, traveled a long distance to hear Solomon speak many] wise things. But now [I, a man] who [is much] greater [and wiser] than Solomon, am here, [but you have not listened to what I have told you]. Therefore, at the time when [God] judges [all people], the queen from [Sheba] will stand there, [along] with you people, and will condemn you.
32 Mank'owoŕe Nenewe kiti ashuwots angshi aawots and duri s'oot'anotsnton tuur angshitwane, Nenewe ashuwots Yonas nabtso boshishtsok'on bo fints morrosh goynatt naandrone etrne, ernmó hambe, Yonasiyere bogo hanoke b́ fa'oni.»
The people who lived in Nineveh [city] turned from their sinful ways when Jonah preached to them. But now I, who am greater than Jonah, have come [and preached to you], [but you have not turned from your sinful ways]. Therefore, at the time when God judges [all people], the people who lived in Nineveh will stand there with you and condemn you.”
33 Manats dabt Iyesus hank'o bí eti, «C'eesho c'eeshde'er dats ashok gedfo, wee oosho bí'ats gúp'shfo konwor aaliye, maniyere dab ashuwotssh máá gitso maants bo kindór b́ shanetwok'o dambaan s'ogatsa bogedfoni.
[Then, to show them that they did not need more miracles, but that they needed only to understand better what he had already told them, he said to them] [MET], “People who light a lamp do not then hide it, or put it under a basket. Instead, they put it on a lampstand so that those who enter [their house] can see [things from] its light. [Similarly, I have not concealed God’s truth. I have revealed it to you].
34 Ni atsatsi c'eesho ni ááwoniye. Niááwo jeen b́wotiyal niats jamo sháánon s'eenke b́wotiti, ni ááwo shodk b́wotiyalmó ni ats jamo t'aluwotse b́wotiti.
Your eyes [MET] are like a lamp for your body, because they enable you to see things. If your eyes are healthy, you are able to see everything well [MET]. [Similarly, if you(sg) accept my teaching, you will be able to know all that God wants you to know]. But if your eyes are bad, you are not able to see anything. It is like being in darkness [MET]. [And similarly, if you(pl) do not accept what I teach, you will not be able to know all the things that God wants you to know].
35 Manb́wottsosh eshe ni atse fa'a c'eesho t'alu b́woterawok'o niatso korde'e.
Therefore, [you(pl) do not need to see more miracles. You need to think carefully about what I have already] told you, so that the things that you have heard from others do not cause you to remain in spiritual darkness [MET].
36 Eshe ni ats jamo bíatse t'aluwo b́ deshawo sháánon s'eentso b́wotiyal, c'eesho ayider golor neesh b́shaanifok'o iki golr sháán wotitwe.»
If you [live completely according to God’s truth, you will be able to know everything that God wants you to know. It will be like] being in a room with a lamp shining brightly, enabling you to see everything clearly.”
37 Iyesus han b́ keewufere ferisawi wotsitse iko aawu misho moowe bí eti, Frisawiwo moots kindt aawu misho moosh mishimarasts t'inbdek'i.
While Jesus finished saying those things, a Pharisee invited him to eat a meal with him. So Jesus went to [his house] and ate with him.
38 Iyesus misho b́maftsere shino kisho masho b́k'aztsosh ferisawimań bí adi.
The Pharisee was surprised when he saw that Jesus did not follow the Pharisees’ ritual by washing his hands before eating. [The Pharisees washed their hands in a certain way to be cleansed from anything that might have contaminated them. They were afraid that God might reject them if they] had [touched something unacceptable to God].
39 Mansh doonzo Iyesus bísh hank'o bíeti, «It ferisawiwots brc'uk'onat saniy abo s'ayintsatniy it mashiri, it gitsonmó gondonat bík'on ititse s'eengutsi.
The Lord [Jesus] said to him, “You Pharisees are [concerned about things that are outside your bodies, not with what is in your] ([inner beings/hearts]) [MET]. You wash the outside of cups and dishes [before you eat because you think that doing that will make you acceptable to God], but within yourselves you are very greedy and wicked.
40 It dartsuwotso! úratstso azts Ik'o gitsitstsonmó azratsa?
You foolish people! [God] is concerned about things that are outside [our bodies], but (he is certainly also concerned about our inner [beings]!/isn’t he also concerned about our hearts?) [RHQ]
41 It brc'k'onat it s'awotse fa'o t'owwotssh imere maniye hakon it keewu jamo s'ayino itsh wotituwe.
Give [money] to those who are poor. [Give according to what you know within] your (inner [/heart]) [that you should give]. Then you [will be surprised to realize that] you will be acceptable [to God without having to perform all those rituals about washing].
42 «It ferisawiwotso indowe itsha! ik weeron ak'arshudona, c'ilatamikonat ay k'ac'n maay naruwotsatse tatslo kishirute, k'osh weerono ariko angshonat Ik'i shunonowere k'az it k'riri, ekeewi it k'alor hanowere k'azo itsh geyiratse b́ teshi.
But there will be terrible punishment for you Pharisees! You give to God a tenth of [all you produce, even] the various herbs that you grow, but you do not [remember that you must act] justly [toward others] and love God! It is good to [give a tenth of your income to God], but you ought to do these other things also!
43 «It ferisawi etetsanots indowe itna, Ayhudi Ik' k'oni mootse beyoki sheengats beyo shunfte, mankoo jebonat gawiyotse ashjamo itn jamo bíatituwok'o it geyiri.
There will be terrible punishment for you Pharisees, because you like [to sit in] the best seats in our worship places [so that people will think highly of you], and you like people to greet you [respectfully] in the marketplaces.
44 Ash ashuwots bo danawo bíabatse boshaíru doowo it artsotse indowe itsha!»
There will be terrible punishment for you, because you are like ground where there is no marker [to indicate that there is a] grave [underneath]. People walk there, but they cannot see [what is rotten down below] [MET]! [Similarly, people who see you do not realize how polluted you are within yourselves].”
45 Muse nemo danifuwtsitse iko Iyesussh, «Danifono, han eto nonor c'ashrne etee!» bí et.
One of those who taught the [Jewish] laws replied, “Teacher, by saying this you [(sg)] are criticizing us [also]!”
46 Iyesuswere hank'o bíet, «Indowe itsha, it nemo danifuwotssha! ashaats kurimango it kurfoni, itmó kurman dab it kishi jabon t'awiratste.
Jesus said, “It will be terrible also for you who teach the [Jewish] laws! You require people [to obey many rules that are difficult to obey] [MET]. [That is like making them] carry heavy burdens on their backs. But you yourselves do not obey the laws [that you require others to obey]. (OR, you do not do anything to help [others to obey the laws].)
47 «It nihots bo úd'ts nebiyiwots doowo it sheengsh dek'at it doziruwotse, indowe itna!
There will be terrible punishment for you! You decorate the tombs of the prophets whom your ancestors killed, [but you do not live according to what the prophets taught].
48 Eshe it nihots bo úd'ts nebiyiwotssh bo doowo it finiruwotse itwere bo gond fino tep'iruwotsnat gawuwots itne.
So you are declaring that you approve of what your ancestors did. They killed the prophets, and you [are not honoring the prophets! You just] decorate their tombs!
49 Manatse tuutson Ik'i dan telefu hank'o etfane, ‹Nebiyiwotsnat woshetswotsi bo maants woshituwe, ik ikuwotsi úd'itúne, ortsuwotsno gondo bek'shitunee,
So God, who is very wise [PRS], said, ‘I will send prophets and apostles [to you Jews]. [You] will kill some of them and cause some of them to suffer greatly.
50 Datso bí'azeron tuut kud'ts nebiywotś s'atso, and dúranatsi s'oot'anots angshon aatetúne.›
[As a result, I] will consider that many of you people [who have observed my Son’s ministry] will be guilty [MTY] [of murder, as if you had] killed all the prophets that other people have killed, from the time I created the world,
51 Ariko itsh keewna, Abeelatse tuut wosh t'intseyiru t'arap'ezonat Ik' maa taalotse úd'etso Zekariyaskok b́ borfetso kud'ts s'atsosh and dúrantsi s'oot'anots aatetúne.
starting from [Adam’s son Cain] killing [his brother] Abel and continuing until they killed the prophet Zechariah [in the holy place] between the altar and the temple.’ Yes, what I am saying [is true] [MTY]. [God] will punish you people who have observed my ministry, you people whom [he] considers to be guilty [MTY] for [killing] all those prophets!
52 «It nemo danifuwots indowe itsha! Dani fengesho bín k'eshet k'ulfiwo it kishatse detsfte, ernmó it it tookosh bíts kindratste, kind geyiruwotsno bo kindrawok'owa it baziri.»
There will be terrible punishment for you men who teach the [Jewish] laws, because you have [not let people] know [God’s truth] [MET]! [It is as though you are] taking away a key [to a house]. You are not going into [the house] yourselves, and you are not letting other people enter it, either.”
53 Iyesus manoke k'ay amoosh b́tuutsok'on nemo danifuwotsnat feriswiwotsn b́keewo k'efat ando ay aato t'intso dek't botuwi.
After Jesus finished saying those things, he left there. Then the men who taught the [Jewish] laws and the Pharisees began to act in a very hostile way toward him. They tried to make him say what he thought about many things.
54 Hań bo k'alirwe b́keewiru keewon bín detsosh geyatni boteshi.
They kept waiting for him to say something [wrong] for which they could accuse him.
