Matthew 18
1 At that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying: Who thinkest thou is the greater in the kingdom of heaven?
Yeruma sana barattoonni gara Yesuus dhufanii, “Yoos mootummaa samii keessatti kan hundumaa caalu eenyu?” jedhanii gaafatan.
2 And Jesus calling unto him a little child, set him in the midst of them,
Innis mucaa xinnaa tokko ofitti waamee isaan gidduu dhaabe.
3 And said: Amen I say to you, unless you be converted, and become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Akkanas jedhe: “Ani dhuguman isinitti hima; isin yoo deebitanii akkuma ijoollee taatan malee gonkumaa mootummaa samiitti hin galtan.
4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, he is the greater in the kingdom of heaven.
Kanaaf namni akka daaʼima kanaa gad of qabu kam iyyuu mootummaa samii keessatti nama hunda caala.
5 And he that shall receive one such little child in my name, receiveth me.
Namni daaʼima akkanaa tokko maqaa kootiin simatu kam iyyuu na simata.
6 But he that shall scandalize one of these little ones that believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone should be hanged about his neck, and that he should be drowned in the depth of the sea.
“Namni kam iyyuu warra natti amanan xixinnaa kanneen keessaa tokko illee yoo gufachiise, dhagaan daakuu guddaan morma isaatti hidhamee tuujuba galaanaa keessa dhidhimuu isaaf wayya ture.
7 Woe to the world because of scandals. For it must needs be that scandals come: but nevertheless woe to that man by whom the scandal cometh.
Sababii wantoota akka namoonni gufatan godhan sanaatiif addunyaaf wayyoo! Wantoonni akkanaa dhufuu qabu; garuu nama wantoonni kunneen karaa isaatiin dhufan sanaaf wayyoo!
8 And if thy hand, or thy foot scandalize thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee. It is better for thee to go into life maimed or lame, than having two hands or two feet, to be cast into everlasting fire. (aiōnios g166)
Yoo harki kee yookaan miilli kee si gufachiise, of irraa kutii gati. Harka lama yookaan miilla lama qabaattee ibidda bara baraatti darbatamuu irra, dooluu taatee yookaan laamshoftee jireenyatti galuu siif wayya. (aiōnios g166)
9 And if thy eye scandalize thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee. It is better for thee having one eye to enter into life, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire. (Geenna g1067)
Yoo iji kee si gufachiise of keessaa baasii gati. Ija lama qabaattee ibidda gahaannamiitti darbatamuu irra ija tokko qabaattee jireenyatti galuu siif wayya. (Geenna g1067)
10 See that you despise not one of these little ones: for I say to you, that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.
“Warra xixinnaa kanneen keessaa tokko illee akka hin tuffanneef of eeggadhaa. Ani isinitti nan hima; ergamoonni isaanii samii irratti yeroo hunda fuula Abbaa koo isa samii irraa ni arguutii. [
11 For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.
Ilmi Namaa isa bade oolchuudhaaf dhufeetii.]
12 What think you? If a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them should go astray: doth he not leave the ninety-nine in the mountains, and go to seek that which is gone astray?
“Isin maal seetu? Namni tokko yoo hoolota dhibba qabaatee hoolota sana keessaas tokko bade, namichi sun sagaltamii sagallan hafan kaan tulluuwwan irratti dhiisee tokkicha bade sana barbaaduu hin dhaquu?
13 And if it so be that he find it: Amen I say to you, he rejoiceth more for that, than for the ninety-nine that went not astray.
Ani dhuguman isinitti hima; inni yoo hoolaa sana argate, hoolota sagaltamii sagallan hin badin irra hoolaa tokkicha sanatti caalaa ni gammada.
14 Even so it is not the will of your Father, who is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.
Akkasuma immoo isaan xixinnoo kanneen keessaa tokko iyyuu akka badu fedhii Abbaa keessan isa samii irraa miti.
15 But if thy brother shall offend against thee, go, and rebuke him between thee and him alone. If he shall hear thee, thou shalt gain thy brother.
“Yoo obboleessi kee cubbuu sitti hojjete, dhaqiitii iddoo isin lamaan qofti jirtanitti balleessaa isaa itti himi. Yoo inni si dhagaʼe ati obboleessa kee deebifatteerta.
16 And if he will not hear thee, take with thee one or two more: that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may stand.
Yoo si dhagaʼuu baate garuu ‘dubbiin hundinuu dhuga baatota lamaan yookaan sadiin waan mirkaneeffamuuf’ nama biraa tokko yookaan nama lama fudhadhuu dhaqi.
17 And if he will not hear them: tell the church. And if he will not hear the church, let him be to thee as the heathen and publican.
Yoo inni jara dhagaʼuu dide waldaa kiristaanaatti himi; yoo inni waldaa kiristaanaa iyyuu dhagaʼuu dide akka nama ormaattii fi akka qaraxxuutti isa fudhadhu.
18 Amen I say to you, whatsoever you shall bind upon earth, shall be bound also in heaven; and whatsoever you shall loose upon earth, shall be loosed also in heaven.
“Ani dhuguman isinitti hima; wanni isin lafa irratti hiitan kam iyyuu samii irratti ni hidhama; wanni isin lafa irratti hiiktan kam iyyuu samii irrattis ni hiikama.
19 Again I say to you, that if two of you shall consent upon earth, concerning any thing whatsoever they shall ask, it shall be done to them by my Father who is in heaven.
“Ammas ani isinitti nan hima; isin keessaa yoo namoonni lama lafa irratti waaʼee waan kadhatan kamii iyyuu walii galan Abbaan koo inni samii irraa isaaniif taasisa.
20 For where there are two or three gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
Iddoo itti namoonni lama yookaan sadii maqaa kootiin walitti qabamanitti ani gidduu isaaniitti nan argamaatii.”
21 Then came Peter unto him and said: Lord, how often shall my brother offend against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
Ergasii Phexros gara Yesuus dhufee, “Yaa Gooftaa, yoo obboleessi koo cubbuu natti hojjete ani yeroo hammam dhiisaaf? Hamma yeroo torbaattii?” jedhee gaafate.
22 Jesus saith to him: I say not to thee, till seven times; but till seventy times seven times.
Yesuusis akkana jedhee deebiseef; “Ani sitti nan hima; yeroo torbaatamii torba malee yeroo torba miti.
23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened to a king, who would take an account of his servants.
“Kanaafuu mootummaan samii mootii herrega garboota isaa harka jiru toʼachuu barbaade tokko fakkaata.
24 And when he had begun to take the account, one was brought to him, that owed him ten thousand talents.
Akkuma inni herrega isaa toʼachuu jalqabeenis nama mootichi taalaantii kuma kudhan irraa qabu tokko itti fidan.
25 And as he had not wherewith to pay it, his lord commanded that he should be sold, and his wife and children and all that he had, and payment to be made.
Namichi sun waan baasu dhabnaan gooftaan isaa akka inni, niitiin isaa, ijoolleen isaatii fi wanni inni qabu hundinuu gurguramanii gatiin sun kaffalamu ajaje.
26 But that servant falling down, besought him, saying: Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
“Garbichi sunis miilla isaatti kufee, ‘Yaa gooftaa, naaf obsi; hunduma isaa iyyuu siif nan kaffalaa’ jedhee isa kadhate.
27 And the lord of that servant being moved with pity, let him go and forgave him the debt.
Gooftaan garbicha sanaas garaa laafeef; gatii isa irraa qabus dhiiseefii gad isa lakkise.
28 But when that servant was gone out, he found one of his fellow servants that owed him an hundred pence: and laying hold of him, throttled him, saying: Pay what thou owest.
“Garbichi sun garuu akkuma achii baʼeen garbicha akka isaa kan gatii diinaariidhibbaa irraa qabu tokko arge. Innis morma namichaa hudhee qabee, ‘Waan ani sirraa qabu naa kaffali’ jedheen.
29 And his fellow servant falling down, besought him, saying: Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
“Garbichi akka isaa sunis miilla isaatti kufee, ‘Naaf obsi; waan narra jiru siif nan kaffalaa’ jedhee isa kadhate.
30 And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he paid the debt.
“Inni garuu ni dide; qooda kanaa hamma inni gatii isaa kaffalutti mana hidhaatti isa galchisiise.
31 Now his fellow servants seeing what was done, were very much grieved, and they came and told their lord all that was done.
Garboonni kaan yommuu waan taʼe sana arganitti akka malee gaddan; dhaqaniis waan taʼe hundumaa gooftaa isaaniitti himan.
32 Then his lord called him; and said to him: Thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all the debt, because thou besoughtest me:
“Gooftichis garbicha sana ofitti waamee akkana jedheen; ‘Yaa garbicha hamaa! Ani sababii ati na kadhatteef gatii sirra ture hunda siif dhiise.
33 Shouldst not thou then have had compassion also on thy fellow servant, even as I had compassion on thee?
Akkuma ani garaa siif laafe sana atis garbicha akka keetiitiif garaa laafuu hin qabduu?’
34 And his lord being angry, delivered him to the torturers until he paid all the debt.
Gooftaan isaas aariidhaan hamma inni gatii sana hunda kaffalutti warra isa dhiphisanitti dabarsee isa kenne.
35 So also shall my heavenly Father do to you, if you forgive not every one his brother from your hearts.
“Isinis yoo garaa keessan guutuudhaan obboleessa keessaniif dhiisuu baattan Abbaan koo inni samii irraa tokkoo tokkoo keessan akkanuma godha.”
