Luke 17
1 [One day Jesus] said to his disciples, “Things that will tempt [people] to sin are certain to happen, but it will be terrible for anyone who causes them to happen!
Yesuusi ba tamaaretakko, “Ase dhubethidi nagaran gelssiyabay yoonna aggenna. Gidoshin, nagaran gelana mela oothiya uraa ayye” yaagis.
2 Suppose you caused one of these people who [do not believe in me very strongly] to sin. If a huge stone was fastened {someone fastened a huge stone} around your neck and you were thrown {and threw you} into the sea, [you would consider that a severe punishment, but God will punish] you even more severely [if you cause someone to sin!]
He uray kaalotappe issuwa balethanaappe woxa ba qoodhen qachchidi abban wulliko iyaw lo77o.
3 Be careful [how you act]. If you [know about] a fellow believer who sins, you [(sg)] should rebuke him. If he [says that he] is sorry for having sinned [and asks you to forgive him], forgive him.
Hessa gisho naagettite. “Ne ishay nagara oothiko hanqetta; qiirottidi maarotethan simmiko, iyaw atto yaaga.
4 Even if he sins against you [(sg)] seven times in one day, if he comes to you each time and says, ‘I am sorry for what I did’, you must continue forgiving him.”
Issi gallasan laappun toho qohidi, laappun toho, ‘Taani ta balaa eras tana maara’ yaagidi neekko yiikko iyaw atto ga.”
5 [One day] the apostles said to the Lord, “Help us to trust [in you] (OR, [in God]) more strongly!”
Hawaareti Godaakko, “Ammano nuus gujjarkkii” yaagidosona.
6 The Lord replied, “Mustard [seeds are very small, but in this area they grow and produce large] [MET] [plants]. [Similarly], if your faith grows until you truly believe that God [will do what you ask him to, you will be able to do anything]. You could [even] say to this mulberry tree, ‘Pull yourself out [with your roots] and plant yourself in the sea!’ and it would obey you!”
Goday, “Gaashe ayfe mela ammanoy hinttew de7ikko ‘Hayssa wolaa shodettada abbaa giddon toketta’ yaagikko hinttew kiitettana” yaagis.
7 [Jesus also said], “Suppose that one of you had a servant who was plowing [your fields] or taking care of your sheep. After he comes into the house from the field, you [(sg)] would not say [RHQ], ‘Sit down and eat immediately!’
Gujjidikka Yesuusi, “Hintte giddofe issuwas goshshanchchoy woykko dorsse heemmiya aylley de7ikko ooso gadeppe woykko wudeppe soo simmiya wode, ‘Elle haayada kathi maanaw utta’ yaagey de7ii?
8 Instead, you would say to him, ‘Put on your apron and prepare a meal for me! Then serve it to me so that I can eat and drink! Afterwards you [(sg)] can eat and drink.’
Deenna, ‘Taw kaho giigisa; taani mada, uyada aggana gakkanaw eqqada muza. Hessafe guye, neeni qassi maasanne uyaasa’ yaagenneyye?
9 (You will not thank your servant for doing the work that he had been told {you had told him} to do!/Would you thank your servant because he did the work that he had been told {you had told him} to do?) [RHQ]
Hiza, goday, aylley kiitaa polida gisho anjjiyye?
10 Similarly, when you [(pl)] have done everything that [God] has told you to do, you should say, ‘We [(inc)] are not worthy [of God thanking us] {[being thanked]}. We are only God’s servants. We have only done the things that he told us to do.’”
Hessa gisho, hintteka kiitettoyssa ubbaa polida wode, ‘Nu pathonna aylleta; oothanaw bessiya oosuwa polida’ yaagite” yaagis.
11 As [Jesus and his disciples] were walking along the road to Jerusalem, they were going through [the region] between Samaria and Galilee [districts].
Yesuusi Yerusalaame bishe Samaarisinne Galiila biittaas giddora kanthidi aadhdhis.
12 As they entered one village, ten lepers came near the road. [Because lepers were not permitted to come near other people], they stood at some distance
Issi gutaa geliya wode baro harggen oykettida tammu asati iya demmidosona. Enttika haahon eqqidi,
13 and called out, “Jesus, Master, pity us [and heal us]!”
“Godaa Yesuusa, nuus qadhettarkii” yaagidi waassidosona.
14 When he saw them, he said [to them], “Each of you should go and show yourself to a priest [in Jerusalem so that he can see if you are healed].” As they were going [there], they were healed.
I entta be7ida wode, “Bidi hinttenatethaa Ayhude kahine bessite” yaagis. Entti ogiya bolla bishe paxidosona.
15 Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God loudly.
Enttafe issoy ba paxuwa be7ida wode dhoqqu gida qaalan Xoossaa bonchchishe Yesuusakko simmis.
16 He [came to Jesus], prostrated himself at Jesus’ feet, and thanked him. This man was a Samaritan, [not a Jew].
I Samaare biitta asi, shin Yesuusa tohuwa bolla gufannidi iya galatis.
17 Then Jesus said, “[I] healed ten [lepers] (I am disappointed that the other nine did not come back!/Where are the other nine?) [RHQ]
Yesuusi, “Paxiday tammu asata gidokkonaayye? Yaatin, uddufunati aw bidonaa?
18 I am disappointed [RHQ] that this non-Jewish man was the only one who returned to thank God; none of the others came back to me!”
Ha allaga uraappe attin hari simmidi Xoossaa galatey deenna guusseyye?” yaagidi oychchis.
19 Then he said to the man, “Get up and continue on your journey. [God] [PRS] [has saved you and] healed you [(sg)] because you trusted [in me].”
Uraakko, “Ne ammanoy nena pathis denddada ba” yaagis.
20 [One day] Jesus was asked by [some] Pharisees [SYN] {[some] Pharisees [SYN] asked [Jesus]}, “When is God [going] to rule as king?” He replied, “God’s ruling [MET] is not something people will be able to see with their eyes.
Farisaaweti, “Xoossaa kawotethay awude yaanee?” gidi Yesuusa oychchidosona. I, “Xoossaa kawotethay benttiya mallan yeenna.
21 And people will not be able to say, ‘Look! He is [ruling] here!’ Or ‘He is [ruling] over there!’ because, [contrary to what you think], God’s ruling is people’s inner beings (OR, is already happening among you).”
Qassika iyo, ‘Hannina woykko hinina yaaganaw dandda7enna. Ays giikko, Xoossaa kawotethay hintte giddon de7ees’” yaagidi zaaris.
22 [Jesus] said to his disciples, “There will be a time when you will want to see [me] [MTY], the one who came from heaven, [ruling powerfully]. But you will not see that.
Yesuusi ba tamaaretakko, “Asa Na7aa gallasatappe issuwa be7anaw hintte amottiya wodey yaana, shin hintte be7ekketa.
23 [Some] people will say to you, ‘Look, [the Messiah] is over there!’ or [they will say] ‘Look, he is here!’ When they say that, do not believe them. Do not follow them [to go see the Messiah].
Asay, ‘I yan de7ees’ woykko, ‘Hayssan de7ees’ yaagana, shin enttana kaallidi booppite.
24 Because when the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one side to the other, [everyone can see it. Similarly] [SIM], at the time [MTY] when [I], the one who came from heaven, come back again, [everyone will see me].
Wol77anthi wol77ammidi saluwa gaxappe gaxa poo7isiya mela Asa Na7aa yuussaa gallasay hessada hanana.
25 But before that happens, I must suffer in many ways (OR, very much). And I will be rejected by people {people will reject me}, [even though] they [have observed me doing good for people].
Shin hessi hananaappe sinthe Asa Na7ay daro waayanawunne ha yeletethan ixettanaw bessees.
26 But when [I], the one who came from heaven, [come again, people] will be doing things just like people were doing at the time when [MTY] Noah [lived].
Nohe wode hanidayssa mela Asa Na7aa wodiyankka hessada hanana.
27 [At that time] people ate and drank [as usual], and they got married [as usual], up until the day when Noah [and his family] entered the big boat. But then the flood came and destroyed all those [who were not in the boat].
Nohey Markkabiyan gelida qammaa gakkanaw asay mishenne uyishe, ekkishenne gelishe de7ishin bashsha haathay yidi ubbaa dhayssis.
28 Similarly, when Lot lived [in Sodom city], people [there] ate and drank [as usual]. They bought things and they sold things. They planted [crops] and they built [houses as usual].
Looxe laythankka hessatho hanis. Asay mishenne uyishe, shammishenne bayzishe, tokkishenne keexishe, gam77idosona.
29 But on the day that Lot [and his family] left Sodom, fire and [burning] sulfur came down from the sky and destroyed all those [who stayed in the city].
Looxey Soodomeppe keyida gallas diinne geetettiya xuuggiyabay saloppe bukkidi ubbaa dhayssis.
30 Similarly, when [I], the one who came from heaven, return to earth, [people will be unprepared] (OR, [enjoying normal life]).
Asa Na7ay qoncciya wodekka hessada hanana.
31 On that day, those who are outside their houses, with all the things that they own inside [the houses], must not go [in] to take them away, [because there will not be enough time to do that]. Similarly, those who are working in a field must not go back home [to get anything]; [they must flee immediately].
“He gallasan oonikka karen de7ey keethaa giddon de7iyabaa ekkanaw soo geloppo. Hessadakka, gaden de7iya asi aykkoskka soo simmofo.
32 Remember Lot’s wife! [Because she turned back and wanted to get some of her things from Sodom, she died immediately and became a pillar of salt].
Looxe machchiw akeekite;
33 Anyone who wants to hold onto his life [and his possessions] will not [receive eternal] life. But anyone who is [willing to] die [for my sake] will live [eternally].
ba shemppiw ashshanaw koyaa asi oonikka dhayssana; ba shemppiw aathi immiya oonikka I ashshana.
34 I tell you this: On the night [when I return], there will be two people [sleeping] in one bed. The one [who believes in me] will be taken {[God] will take the one [who believes in me]} [to heaven], and the other one will be left [behind and punished] {and [he] will leave the other one [behind and punish him]}.
Ta hinttew odays; he gallasan nam77u asati issi arssan zin77ana. Issoy ekettana, hankkoy attana.
35 Two women will be grinding grain together; one will be taken and the other left {[God] will take one and leave the other} [behind].”
Nam77u maccasati wolla gaaccishin issiya ekettana, hankkiya attana.
Nam77u asati wolla gaden goyeyssatappe issoy ekettana, hankkoy attana” yaagis.
37 [His disciples] said to him, “Lord, where [will this happen]?” He replied to them, “Wherever there is an animal carcass, the vultures will gather [to eat it] [MET]. [Similarly, wherever there are people who are spiritually dead, God will punish them].”
Entti, “Godaw aw ekettanee?” yaagidi oychchidosona. I, “Hayqqidabay de7iya bessan ankoti shiiqoosona” yaagis.
