Luke 15
1 Now all the publicans and sinners were drawing near unto him for to hear him.
Gaaf tokko warri qaraxa fuudhanii fi cubbamoonni hundi Yesuusin dhaggeeffachuudhaaf isa biratti walitti qabamaa turan.
2 And both the Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.
Fariisonnii fi barsiistonni seeraa garuu, “Namichi kun cubbamoota simata; isaan wajjinis ni nyaata” jedhanii guunguman.
3 And he spake unto them this parable, saying,
Yesuusis akkana jedhee fakkeenya kana isaanitti hime;
4 What man of you, having a hundred sheep, and having lost one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?
“Isin keessaa namni hoolota dhibba qabu tokko yoo hoolaan tokko jalaa bade, hoolota sagaltamii sagallan kaan lafa tikaatti dhiisee hamma hoolaa bade sana argatutti kan barbaaduu hin deemne eenyu?
5 And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
Yommuu argatus gammadee gatiittii isaa irratti baatee,
6 And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and his neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost.
mana isaatti gala. Innis michoota isaatii fi olloota isaa walitti waamee, ‘Ani hoolaa koo kan bade sana argadheeraatii na wajjin gammadaa’ jedha.
7 I say unto you, that even so there shall be joy in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, [more] than over ninety and nine righteous persons, which need no repentance.
Ani isinittin hima; sababii qajeeltota qalbii jijjiirrachuun isaan hin barbaachifne sagaltamii sagalii irra sababii cubbamaa qalbii jijjiirratu tokkootiif samii keessatti gammachuun guddaan akkasuma ni taʼa.
8 Or what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a lamp, and sweep the house, and seek diligently until she find it?
“Yookaan mee dubartii saantima meetii kudhan qabdu jalaa tokko badeera haa jennuu; isheen ibsaa qabsiifattee, manas hartee hamma saantima sana argatutti jabeessitee hin barbaaddattuu?
9 And when she hath found it, she calleth together her friends and neighbours, saying, Rejoice with me, for I have found the piece which I had lost.
Isheenis yommuu argatutti michoota isheetii fi olloota ishee walitti waamtee, ‘Ani saantima koo kan bade sana argadheeraatii na wajjin gammadaa’ jetti.
10 Even so, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
Ani isinittin hima; sababii cubbamaa qalbii jijjiirratu tokkootiif ergamoonni Waaqaa akkasuma ni gammadu.”
11 And he said, A certain man had two sons:
Yesuus ittuma fufee akkana jedhe; “Namicha ilmaan lama qabu tokkotu ture.
12 and the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of [thy] substance that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living.
Ilmi quxisuun abbaa isaatiin ‘Yaa abbaa ko, qabeenya kee irraa qooda na gaʼu naa kenni’ jedhe. Abbaanis qabeenya isaa lamaan isaaniitiif ni hire.
13 And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country; and there he wasted his substance with riotous living.
“Ilmi quxisuun sunis utuu hin turin waan qabu hunda walitti qabatee biyya fagoo dhaqe; achittis qabeenya isaa jireenya bashannanuu irratti balleesse.
14 And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that country; and he began to be in want.
Erga inni waan hunda fixee booddee beelli hamaan biyya sanatti buʼe; innis rakkachuu jalqabe.
15 And he went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
Kanaafuu dhaqee lammiiwwan biyyasii keessaa isa tokkotti gale; namichi sunis akka inni booyyee tiksuuf lafa tikaatti isa erge.
16 And he would fain have been filled with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.
Gurbichis qola booyyeen nyaattu sana nyaatee garaa guutachuu kajeela ture; garuu namni tokko iyyuu waa isatti hin kennu ture.
17 But when he came to himself he said, How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough and to spare, and I perish here with hunger!
“Innis yommuu of beeketti akkana jedhe; ‘Tajaajiltoonni mana abbaa kootti qacaraman hammamitu buddeena gaʼee irraa hafu qaba! Ani garuu asitti beelaan nan duʼa.
18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight:
Ani kaʼeen abbaa kootti deebiʼee akkana jedhaan; “Yaa abbaa ko, ani samii fi sitti cubbuu hojjedheera.
19 I am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.
Siʼachi ilma kee jedhamuun naaf hin malu; tajaajiltoota kee keessaa akka isa tokkootti na ilaali.”’
20 And he arose, and came to his father. But while he was yet afar off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.
Innis kaʼee gara abbaa isaa dhaqe. “Garuu utuu inni fagoo jiruu abbaan isaa isa argee akka malee garaa laafeef; gara ilma isaattis fiigee itti marmee dhungate.
21 And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight: I am no more worthy to be called thy son.
“Gurbichis, ‘Yaa abbaa ko, ani samii fi sitti cubbuu hojjedheera; siʼachi ilma kee jedhamuun naaf hin malu’ jedheen.
22 But the father said to his servants, Bring forth quickly the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:
“Abbaan isaa garuu garboota isaatiin akkana jedhe; ‘Dafaatii uffata uffata hunda caalu fidaa isatti uffisaa; quba isaatti qubeelaa, miilla isaattis kophee kaaʼaa.
23 and bring the fatted calf, [and] kill it, and let us eat, and make merry:
Dibicha gabbataa fidaatii qalaa; haa nyaannuu; haa gammannus.
24 for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.
Ilmi koo kun duʼee tureetii; amma immoo jireenyatti deebiʼeeraa. Badees ture; amma immoo argameera.’ Isaanis gammaduu jalqaban.
25 Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard music and dancing.
“Yeroo sanatti ilmi inni hangafti lafa qotiisaa ture; innis yeroo dhufee manatti dhiʼaatetti muuziiqaa fi sirba dhagaʼe.
26 And he called to him one of the servants, and inquired what these things might be.
Kanaafuu tajaajiltoota keessaa nama tokko waamee waan taʼaa jiru gaafate.
27 And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.
Tajaajilaan sunis deebisee, ‘Obboleessi kee galeera; abbaan kees waan ilma isaa nagaa fi fayyaadhaan argateef dibicha gabbataa qale’ jedheen.
28 But he was angry, and would not go in: and his father came out, and entreated him.
“Obboleessi hangafni garuu aaree ol seenuu dide; kanaaf abbaan isaa gad baʼee isa kadhate.
29 But he answered and said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, and I never transgressed a commandment of thine: and [yet] thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:
Inni immoo deebisee abbaa isaatiin akkana jedhe; ‘Ilaa ani waggoota kanneen hunda akkuma garbaatti siif hojjechaan ture; ajaja kee illee didee hin beeku. Ati garuu akka ani michoota koo wajjin gammaduuf takkumaa ilmoo reʼee tokko illee naa hin kennine.
30 but when this thy son came, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou killedst for him the fatted calf.
Garuu ilmi kee inni sagaagaltoota wajjin qabeenya kee balleesse kun deebiʼee manatti gallaan dibicha gabbataa qalteef!’
31 And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that is mine is thine.
“Abbaan isaas akkana jedheen; ‘Yaa ilma koo ati yeroo hunda anuma wajjin jirta; wanni ani qabu hundinuus kanuma kee ti.
32 But it was meet to make merry and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive [again]; and [was] lost, and is found.
Garuu obboleessi kee inni duʼee ture kun waan jireenyatti deebiʼeef nu gammaduu fi ililchuu qabna. Inni badee ture; amma immoo argameera.’”
