Luke 18
1 Jesus told them this story to encourage them to pray at all times, and not to become discouraged.
Yesuusi ba tamaareta azalonna ubba wode woossana mela tamaarssanaw koyidi yaagidi leemiso odis.
2 “Once there was a judge in this particular town who didn't respect God or care about anyone,” Jesus explained.
“Issi kataman Xoossaas yashettonna asaskka yeellatonna issi daynni de7ees
3 “In the same town lived a widow who time and again went to the judge, saying, ‘Give me justice in the case against my enemy!’
He kataman issi am77iya da7awusu. Iyakka, ‘Tawunne ta morkkiyas giddon de7iya mootuwa pirdda’ yaagada ubba wode he daynnaako simerettawusu.
4 For a while he didn't want to do anything about it, but eventually he said to himself, ‘Even though I don't respect God or care about anyone,
Daynnay guutha wodes I odaa si7onna ixxis, shin guyeppe ba wozanan, ‘Taani Xoossaas yayyonna, asas yeellatonna ixxikokka,
5 this widow is so annoying I'll make sure she receives justice. Then she won't wear me out by her coming to see me so often.’
ha am77iya tana waaysiya gisho iw pirddana; yaatonna ixxiko ubba wode yada tana salethana’ yaagidi qoppis” yaagis.
6 Listen to what even an unjust judge decided,” said the Lord.
Godaykka, “Geella daynnay gidayssa si7ideta
7 “Don't you think that God will make sure his chosen people receive justice, those who cry out to him day and night? Do you think he will make them wait?
Xoossay qammanne gallas iyaakko waassiya ba dooridayssatas pirddeneyye? Enttana maaddanaw gam77iyye?
8 No, I tell you, he will give them justice quickly. However, when the Son of man comes, will he find people on earth who trust in him?”
Ta hinttew odeyssa si7ite, ellesidi pirddana. Gidoshin, Asa Na7ay yaa wode sa7a bolla ammano demmanddeshsha?” yaagis.
9 He also told this story about those who are so sure that they are living right, and who put everybody else down.
Qassi zaaridi, Yesuusi, banttana xillo asada oothidi ceeqetteyssatasinne harata kadheyssatas hayssada yaagidi leemiso odis.
10 “Two men went to the Temple to pray. One was a Pharisee, and the other a tax collector.
“Nam77u asati woossanaw Xoossa Keethi bidosona. Issoy Farisaawe hankkoy qassi qaraxa qanxisiya asi.
11 The Pharisee stood up and prayed to himself, ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other people—cheats, criminals, adulterers—or even like this tax collector.
Farisaawey eqqidi baw woossishe, ‘Xoossaw taani harata mela bonqanchcho, geellanne laymatiya asi, aadhdhida qassi ha qaraxa qanxisiya uraa mela gidonna gisho nena galatays.
12 I fast twice a week, and I pay tithe on my income.’
Saaminttafe nam77u toho xoomays, ta demmiyaba ubbaafe asiraata kessays’ yaagis.
13 But the tax collector stood at a distance. He wouldn't even look up to heaven. Instead he beat his chest and prayed, ‘God, please be merciful to me. I am a sinner.’
“Shin qaraxa qanxiseyssi qassi haahon eqqidi hari attoshin salo dhoqqu gidi xeellanawukka yayyidi ba tiraa iccishe ‘Xoossaw, tana nagaranchchuwa maararkii’ gidi woossis.
14 I tell you, it was this man who went home right in God's sight and not the other. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, while those who humble themselves will be exalted.”
Ta hinttew odeyssa si7ite; Farisaawiyappe hayssi qaraxa qanxiseyssi Xoossaa sinthan xillo gididi ba soo simmis. Ays giikko, bana dhoqqu dhoqqu oothiya asi kawuyana, bana kawushshiya asi dhoqqu dhoqqu gaana” yaagis.
15 Parents were bringing their infants to Jesus to have him bless them by his touch. When the disciples saw what was happening, they tried to stop them.
Yesuusi yooga nayta bolla ba kushiya wothidi anjjana mela asay iyaakko ehoosona. Yesuusa tamaareti hessa be7idi ays Yesuusakko eheeti yaagidi kaccidosona.
16 But Jesus called the children to him. “Let the little children come to me,” he said. “Don't prevent them, for the kingdom of God belongs to those who are like them.
Shin Yesuusi nayta baakko xeegidi, “Yooga nayti taakko yaanayssa diggofite; yo giite. Ays giikko, Xoossaa kawotethay enttada hanidayssatassa.
17 I tell you the truth, anyone who doesn't welcome the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”
Taani hinttew tuma odays; Xoossaa kawotethaa yooga naytatho ekkonnay oonikka yaa gelenna” yaagis.
18 One of the rulers came to Jesus and asked him, “Good Teacher, what do I have to do to inherit eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
Ayhude halaqatappe issoy, “Keeha asttamaariyaw, merinaa de7uwa demmanaw ay ootho?” yaagidi oychchis. (aiōnios g166)
19 “Why do you call me good?” Jesus replied. “No one is good, only God.
Yesuusi iyaakko, “Ays tana keehaw yaagada xeegay? Issi Xoossaafe attin hari keehi baawa.
20 You know the commandments: do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal, do not give false testimony, honor your father and mother.”
Laammofa, wodhoppa, kaysotoppa, worddo markkattofa, ne aawanne ne aayiw bonchcha yaagiya kiitaa eray” yaagidi oychchis.
21 “I've kept all these commandments since I was young,” the man replied.
Uraykka, “Hessata ubbaa taani na7atethafe doomada naagashe gam77as” yaagis.
22 When Jesus heard this he told the man, “You still lack one thing. Go and sell all you have, give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come and follow me!”
Yesuusi hessa si7ida wode, “Hiza, new issibay paccees; new de7iyaba ubbaa bayzada manqotas imma; salon nena shaloy naagees. Yaata simmada tana kaalla” yaagis.
23 But when the man heard this he became very sad, for he was very wealthy.
Shin uray hessa si7ida wode iyaw daro shaloy de7iya gisho daro qiirottis.
24 When he saw his reaction, Jesus said, “How difficult it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!
Yesuusi uraa be7idi, “Dure asas Xoossaa kawotethaa geloy waanidi un77anddeshsha?
25 It's easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.”
Durey Xoossaa kawotethaa gelanayssafe gimaley narppe luhora kantheyssi kawuyees” yaagis.
26 Those who heard this wondered, “Who can be saved then?”
Hessa si7ida asay, “Hessa gidikko ooni attanee?” yaagidosona.
27 Jesus replied, “What is impossible in human terms is possible for God.”
Yesuusi, “Asas dandda7ettonabay Xoossaas dandda7ettees” yaagis.
28 Peter said, “We left everything to follow you!”
Phexiroosi, “Hekko nuuni nubaa ubbaa aggidi nena kaallida” yaagis.
29 “I tell you the truth,” Jesus told them, “anybody who leaves behind their home, wife, brothers, parents, or children for the sake of God's kingdom
“Yesuusi tuma ta hinttew odays; Xoossaa kawotethaas gidi ba keethaa woykko ba machchiw woykko ba ishata woykko ba aawanne ba aayiw woykko ba nayta aggiday;
31 Jesus took the twelve disciples aside, and told them, “We're going to Jerusalem, and all that the prophets wrote about the Son of man will be fulfilled.
Yesuusi tammanne nam77ata baakko xeegidi, “Ane Yerusalaame boos, nabeti Asa Na7aabaa xaafidaba ubbay yan polettana.
32 He will be handed over to the foreigners he will be mocked, insulted, and spat upon.
I Ayhude gidonna asaas aadhdhidi imettana. Entti iya toochchana, cayananne iya bolla cuttana.
33 They will flog him and kill him, but on the third day he will rise again.”
Iya garaafidaappe guye, wodhana, shin heedzantho gallasan I hayqoppe denddana” yaagis.
34 But they didn't understand anything Jesus told them. The meaning was hidden from them and they didn't grasp what he was talking about.
Shin iya tamaareti hessa ubbaafe issibaakka akeekibookkona. Iya xuuray enttaw qosettida gisho I woygidaakko eribookkona.
35 As Jesus approached Jericho a blind man was sitting beside the road begging.
Yesuusi Iyaarkko matattiya wode issi qooqe uray oge gaxan uttidi woossees.
36 He heard the crowd going past, so he asked what was happening.
Qooqe uray asay he bessaara aadhdhishin si7idi, “I aybe?” gidi oychchis.
37 They told him, “Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.”
Entti, “Naazirete Yesuusi hayssara aadhdhees” yaagidosona.
38 He called out, “Jesus, son of David, please have mercy on me!”
I, “Dawite na7aw, Yesuusa, tana maararkii” yaagidi waassis.
39 Those at the front of the crowd told him to stop shouting and be quiet, but he only shouted louder, “Son of David, please have mercy on me!”
Sinthe sinthe biya asati, “Si7i ga” gidi hanqettidosona. Shin I, “Dawite na7aw, tana maara” yaagidi darssi waassis.
40 Jesus stopped and told them to bring the blind man to him. As he came over, Jesus asked him,
Yesuusi eqqidi uraa baakko ehana mela kiittis. Uraykka, iyaakko shiiqin,
41 “What do you want me to do for you?” “Lord, please, I want to see,” he pleaded.
“Ta new ay oothana mela koyay?” yaagidi oychchis. Qooqey, “Godaw ta xeellanaw koyays” yaagis.
42 “Then see!” Jesus told him. “Your trust in me has healed you.”
Yesuusi, “Xeella, ne ammanoy nena pathis” yaagis.
43 Immediately the man could see. He followed Jesus, praising God. Everyone there who saw what happened also praised God.
Uray sohuwara xeelli aggis. Xoossaa bonchchishe Yesuusa kaallis. Asa ubbay hessa be7idi Xoossaa galatidosona.
