Matthew 18
1 In that hour the talmidim came to Yeshua, saying, "Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?"
Yeruma sana barattoonni gara Yesuus dhufanii, “Yoos mootummaa samii keessatti kan hundumaa caalu eenyu?” jedhanii gaafatan.
2 He called a little child to himself, and set him in the midst of them,
Innis mucaa xinnaa tokko ofitti waamee isaan gidduu dhaabe.
3 and said, "Truly I tell you, unless you turn, and become as little children, you will in no way 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 Whoever therefore humbles himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Kanaaf namni akka daaʼima kanaa gad of qabu kam iyyuu mootummaa samii keessatti nama hunda caala.
5 Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me,
Namni daaʼima akkanaa tokko maqaa kootiin simatu kam iyyuu na simata.
6 but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him that a huge millstone should be hung around his neck, and that he should be sunk in the depths 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 stumbling blocks. For there will always be something to cause people to stumble, but woe to the person through whom the stumbling block comes.
Sababii wantoota akka namoonni gufatan godhan sanaatiif addunyaaf wayyoo! Wantoonni akkanaa dhufuu qabu; garuu nama wantoonni kunneen karaa isaatiin dhufan sanaaf wayyoo!
8 If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off, and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life maimed or crippled, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into the 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 If your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the fire of Gehinnom. (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 do not despise one of these little ones, for I tell you that in heaven their angels 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. [
Ilmi Namaa isa bade oolchuudhaaf dhufeetii.]
12 "What do you think? If someone has one hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine, go to the mountains, and seek that which has 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 If he finds it, truly I tell you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine which have not gone 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 my 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 "If your brother sins against you, go, show him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained back your 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 But if he does not listen, take one or two more with you, that at the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
Yoo si dhagaʼuu baate garuu ‘dubbiin hundinuu dhuga baatota lamaan yookaan sadiin waan mirkaneeffamuuf’ nama biraa tokko yookaan nama lama fudhadhuu dhaqi.
17 If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the congregation. If he refuses to hear the congregation also, let him be to you as an unbeliever or a tax collector.
Yoo inni jara dhagaʼuu dide waldaa kiristaanaatti himi; yoo inni waldaa kiristaanaa iyyuu dhagaʼuu dide akka nama ormaattii fi akka qaraxxuutti isa fudhadhu.
18 Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed 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, truly I tell you, that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they will ask, it will be done for 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 two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the midst of them."
Iddoo itti namoonni lama yookaan sadii maqaa kootiin walitti qabamanitti ani gidduu isaaniitti nan argamaatii.”
21 Then Peter came to him and said, "Lord, how often can my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to 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 Yeshua said to him, "I do not tell you up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.
Yesuusis akkana jedhee deebiseef; “Ani sitti nan hima; yeroo torbaatamii torba malee yeroo torba miti.
23 Therefore the kingdom of heaven is like a certain king, who wanted to reconcile accounts with his servants.
“Kanaafuu mootummaan samii mootii herrega garboota isaa harka jiru toʼachuu barbaade tokko fakkaata.
24 When he had begun to reconcile, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents.
Akkuma inni herrega isaa toʼachuu jalqabeenis nama mootichi taalaantii kuma kudhan irraa qabu tokko itti fidan.
25 But because he could not pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, with 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 The servant therefore fell down and kneeled before him, saying, 'Lord, have patience with me, and I will repay you all.'
“Garbichi sunis miilla isaatti kufee, ‘Yaa gooftaa, naaf obsi; hunduma isaa iyyuu siif nan kaffalaa’ jedhee isa kadhate.
27 The lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt.
Gooftaan garbicha sanaas garaa laafeef; gatii isa irraa qabus dhiiseefii gad isa lakkise.
28 "But that servant went out, and found one of his fellow servants, who owed him one hundred denarii, and he grabbed him, and took him by the throat, saying, 'Pay what you owe.'
“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 "So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, saying, 'Have patience with me, and I will repay you all.'
“Garbichi akka isaa sunis miilla isaatti kufee, ‘Naaf obsi; waan narra jiru siif nan kaffalaa’ jedhee isa kadhate.
30 He would not, but went and cast him into prison, until he should pay back that which was due.
“Inni garuu ni dide; qooda kanaa hamma inni gatii isaa kaffalutti mana hidhaatti isa galchisiise.
31 So when his fellow servants saw what was done, they were exceedingly sorry, and came and told to 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 in, and said to him, 'You wicked servant. I forgave you all that debt, because you begged me.
“Gooftichis garbicha sana ofitti waamee akkana jedheen; ‘Yaa garbicha hamaa! Ani sababii ati na kadhatteef gatii sirra ture hunda siif dhiise.
33 Should you not also have had mercy on your fellow servant, even as I had mercy on you?'
Akkuma ani garaa siif laafe sana atis garbicha akka keetiitiif garaa laafuu hin qabduu?’
34 His lord was angry, and delivered him to the tormentors, until he should pay all that was due.
Gooftaan isaas aariidhaan hamma inni gatii sana hunda kaffalutti warra isa dhiphisanitti dabarsee isa kenne.
35 So my heavenly Father will also do to you, if you do not each forgive your brother his trespasses from your heart."
“Isinis yoo garaa keessan guutuudhaan obboleessa keessaniif dhiisuu baattan Abbaan koo inni samii irraa tokkoo tokkoo keessan akkanuma godha.”
