Luke 7
1 After Jesus finished saying this to the people, he went [with his disciples] to Capernaum [town].
Yesussay hessa wursikka dere sinthan yooti wursidaysafe guye Qifirnahome gizaso bi gelides.
2 There was a Roman army officer there who had a slave whom he thought highly of. This slave was so sick that he was about to die.
Heen Qifirnahomen xeetu wotaddarata halaqqay dees he addezas izi siiqiza ashkkaaraay harggidi hayqqos shemppo bolla dees.
3 When the officer heard about Jesus, he [summoned] some Jewish elders. He told them to go to Jesus and ask him to come and heal his slave.
Izikka Yesussa gish siiyidi ba ashkaara pathana mala Yesussa wooserkketi giidi issi issi Ayhudde bagga asatappe cimata Yesussakko yeddides.
4 When they came to where Jesus was, they earnestly asked Jesus [to return with them]. They said, “This officer deserves that you [(sg)] do this [for him],
Kiitettidi bida asati Yesussako yiidi hayssa ashkaara addeza gish ne pathana besses giidi minnithi woosida.
5 because he loves us [Jewish] people, and he [paid the money to] build a synagogue for us.”
Ays giiko haysi addezi nu asa daro dosees, nuusikka mukurabe keexisiday iza.
6 So Jesus went with them. When he was near the [officer’s] house, the officer [decided that it was not necessary for Jesus to come to his house. So he] summoned some friends. He [told them to] go to Jesus and tell him this: “Lord/Sir, do not bother to come. [Because I am a non-Jew], I am not worthy for you [(sg)], [a Jew], to come into my house [MTY] [and associate with me].
Yesussayksa izistara bides. Yesussay addeza keethako matiza wode addezi ba laggeta Yesussakko yedidi “Godo ne ta keeth gelanaas beessenna taka nena ta keethe gelthanas bessiza asi gidonta gish haa yashe daaburoppa” gides.
7 I did not feel worthy to come to you, [either]. But [please] command [that] my servant [be healed], and he will become well!
Tani ne sinthan beettanas bessontta asa gidida gish neekko babbeykke, hessa gish neni heen daadda qaala xalla giiko ta ashkkaaray paxana.
8 [I believe this] because, as for me, there are people who have authority over me [and I obey them]. I also have soldiers under my [authority]. When I say to one of them, ‘Go!’ he goes. When I say to another ‘Come!’ he comes. When I say to my slave, ‘Do this!’ he does it. [And I believe that you speak with a similar kind of authority].”
taaskka tana azaziza asi tappe bollara dees. Tappe garssara tani azaziza wotaddarati deetes. Issa haaya giiko yes issa he ba giiko bees ashkkaaraykka hessa ootha giiko azazettidayssa oothes.
9 When [the officer’s friends arrived and] told that to Jesus, he marveled at what [the officer had said]. Then he turned and said to the crowd that was going with him, “I tell you, I have never before found anyone who trusted [in me like this non-Jewish man does]. No one from Israel, [where I would expect people to believe in me], has trusted in me like he has!”
Yesussaykka ha addey gidayssa siiyidi addeza hanotethan malalettides. Guyye simmidi bena kaalliza deras ta intes gizay hayssa mala gita amano haray atoshin Isra7eele nayta garsankka demmabeykke gides.
10 When those men returned to the officer’s house, they found that the slave was well.
Yesussakko kiitettida asati guye kiittida halaqqa so simmida wode ashkkaaray paxidaysa beydda.
11 Soon after that, Jesus went to a town called Nain. His disciples and a large crowd [of other people] went with him.
hessafe guyyen Yesussay gam7ontadishe Nayne giza katama bena kaallizaytarane daro derera issife bides.
12 As they approached the town gate, the corpse of a young man who had just died was being carried out [on a stretcher] {[people] were carrying out [on a stretcher] the corpse of a young man who had just died}. His mother was a widow, and he was her only son. A large group of people from the town were accompanying them.
Izi biiddi katama geliza miixxa gakishin he katamayppe daro asay anha tooki ekkidi keziwodhdhides. Hayqqidays ba aayeys izi izaka. aayeyskka azinay baa, katamappe daro asay izira issife dees.
13 When the Lord saw her, he pitied her. He said to her, “Do not cry!”
Godaykka izo beydda wode izis michettidi aykkoy baa yekofa gides.
14 Then, [ignoring the Jewish laws about not coming near a corpse], he came close and touched the stretcher [on which the body was lying]. So the men carrying it stood still. He said, “Young man, I say to you, get up!”
Shiiqidine anha tookkida zapha bochchin anha tookidayti sit gi eqqida. Yesussaykka hayso nazo nena gays denda gides.
15 The man sat up and began to talk! Jesus returned him to his mother [to care for her].
hayqqida naazikka suuri uttidi haasa7a oykkides. Yesussaykka naaza aayeys efi immides.
16 Then everyone [there] was amazed/awestruck. They praised God, saying, “A great prophet has come among us!” They also said, “God has come to help his people!”
asay wurikka keehi babbiddi Xoossa galatishe “gita nabey nu giddofe dendidees, Xoossikka hayssa dereza yiidi be7ides” gides.
17 [Then they] reported what Jesus [had done] throughout all of Judea [district] and other nearby areas.
haysi Yesussa gish haasa7etiza lo7o haasa7ay kumetha Yihudanine Yihuda yushon diza deretan wurson kezides.
18 The disciples of John [the Baptizer went to the prison where John was and] told him about those things.
xamaqiza Yanisa kaallizaytikka hayssa wursi Yanisassi yoottida. Yanisaykka ista garsafe nam77anta xeeygidi,
19 So [one day] John summoned two [of his disciples] and [told them] to go to the Lord and ask him: “Are you [the Messiah who the prophets prophesied would come], or is it someone else that we should expect [to come]?”
izi yaana geetettidi haasa7etizays neneyee? hara ura naagino gi oychchite giidi Godakko yeddides.
20 When those two men came to Jesus, they said, “John the Baptizer sent us to ask you [(sg)] this: Are you [the Messiah that] we are expecting [God] to send, or shall we [(exc)] expect someone else?”
bida asati Yesussakko gakkidi xamaqqiza Yanisay izi yaana geetettidi haasa7etizays neneyee hara ura naagino giidi neeko nuna yeddides gida.
21 At that very time Jesus was healing many people of their diseases and [other] sicknesses, he was [casting out] evil spirits, and he was causing many blind people to be able to see.
he wode Yesussay daro asa waayepe harggefene tuna ayananatappe pathides. daro qooqqista ayfeykka xeellides.
22 So he answered those two men, “Go back and report to John what you have seen [me doing] and what you have heard [me telling people. I am enabling] blind people to see. [I am enabling] lame people to walk. [I am] healing people who have leprosy. [I am enabling] deaf people to hear. [I am causing] dead people to become alive again, [and I am] telling [God’s] good message to poor people.
Yanisay kiittin izakko yidayta biiddi inte inte ayfera beyddaysanne siiyidaysa Yanisassi yoottite. Ayfe qooqqeti xeelletesi toho wobeti suure hamuttetes inchirachcho harggizayti paxida tulleti siiyida hayqqidayti hayqqoppee dendida manqqotas mishrachcho qaalay yootettes.
23 [Also tell John that God] is pleased with those who do not stop believing in me [because what I do is not what they expect the Messiah to do].”
Tanani dhuphetonta asi wurikka anjetidaysa gides.
24 When the men whom John had sent left, Jesus began to talk to the crowd of people about John. He said to them, “[Think about] what sort of person you went to see in the desolate area [when you went there to see John] [RHQ]. [You did not go there to listen to a man who constantly changed the nature of his message] [MET], [like] a reed that is blown back and forth by the wind [RHQ].
Yanisay kiitida asati Yesussa achchafe bidaysafe guye Yesussay daro asas Yanisa gish hizggi yoottides “inte ay beyanas bazo kezidetii? carkoy heene hanne qathethiza shomboqo beyanassee?
25 Then what kind of man did you go there to see [RHQ]? Was he [RHQ] a man who wore expensive clothes? No! [You know very well that] people who wear beautiful clothes and live in luxury are in kings’ palaces, [not in the desolate areas]!
ay beyanas kezidetii? lo7iza mayo mayida ura beyana kezidetii? lo7o mayo mayidi warix gizayti ishalo duusa dizayti kawo keeththan deetes.
26 Then what [kind of person] did you go to see? [Did you] [RHQ] [go there to see John because he was] a prophet? Yes! But I will tell you that [John is] more [important] than an [ordinary] prophet.
histikko ay beyanas kezidetii? nabe beyanasee? Ee ta intes tuma gays inte keziday nabeppe aadhdhizadde beyanassa.
27 He is the one about whom [these words] that God said to the Messiah have been written {[the prophet Malachi] wrote [these words]} [in the Scriptures]: ‘Listen! I am going to send my messenger ahead of you [(sg)] [SYN]. He will prepare [people] for your coming.’
Xoossa qaalan (ne baanna oge nees baassi lo7ethanna kiitettida ura ta neppe sinthara yedana) geetettidi iza gish Xaafetidays izakko.
28 I tell you that from among all the people who have ever lived, [God considers that] no one is greater than John. However, [God considers] everyone who has let God rule their [lives] [MET] to be greater than [John], [even if they are] insignificant [people].”
tani intes gizay maccasafe yellettida asa garsan Yanisappe aadhdhiza uray oonikka deenna, Xoossa kawotethan gidikko asa wursofe guuthu geetettida asi Yanisappe aadhdhanna.”
29 When they heard [what Jesus said] (OR, [what John preached]), all the people, including tax collectors, [whom many people despised], agreed that God’s way was right. By being baptized by John {By [letting] John baptize them}, [they had agreed that what God required people to do in order to be saved was right].
qaraxa shiishizayttikka attontta hayssa Yesussa qaala siyidayti wurikka Yanisa kushen xamaqqettidi Xoossassi bessiza boncho immida.
30 But the Pharisees and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws were not baptized by John {did not [let] John baptize them} because they rejected what God wanted them to do.
Farsawetinne Muse woga eranchati Yanisa kushen xamaqqetonta gish Xoossi izistas waana qofa oothidi shiishidaysa hiraysida.
31 [Then Jesus also said], “[Many of] you people have heard what [John and I] have taught. (I will illustrate what you are like./Do you know what [many of] you people who have heard what [John and I] have taught are like?) [RHQ]
qassekka Yesussay zaaridi histtikko ha7i yellista asa aazan leemusoo? isti ay milatizo? gides.
32 You are like children who are [playing games] in an open area. [Some of them] are calling to [the others], saying, ‘We [(exc)] played happy music for you on the flute, but you did not dance! Then we sang sad funeral songs for you, but you did not cry!’
giyan uttidi ba garsan issay issara xeygettidi “intes nuni diith diixxidos shin duribeykkista zilalis zilalidosishin yekkibeykkista giza nayta milateetes gides.
33 [Similarly, you people are dissatisfied with both John the Baptizer and me]! When John came and [preached to you], he did not eat [ordinary] food [SYN] or drink wine, [like most people do]. But you [rejected him], saying, ‘A demon is controlling him!’
ays giiko xamaqqiza Yanisay kath montanne woyneppe oothettida cajje uyonta yin dayiddanthi iza bolla dees gidista.
34 In [contrast], [I], the one who came from heaven, eat [the same food] and drink [wine as others do]. But you [reject me], saying, ‘Look! [This man] eats too much food and drinks too much wine, and he associates with tax collectors and [other] sinners!’
asa nay qasse miishshenne uyishe yin ganjamanne ushancha qaraxa shiishizaytarane nagaranchatara laggetees gidista.
35 But those who are [truly God’s] children [PRS] realize that [what John and I do is truly] wise.”

36 [One day] one of the Pharisees [named Simon] invited Jesus to eat a meal with him. So Jesus went to the man’s house and reclined [to eat].
hessafe guye Farsawistappe issi uray Yesussa quma maanaas ba keethe xeygin Yesussay xeeyigida Farsawe keeththa biiddi uttides.
37 There was a woman in that city [who many people knew had been] a prostitute [EUP]. She heard that Jesus was eating in the Pharisee’s house. So she went there, taking a stone jar that contained perfume.
he kataman diza issi nagarancha maccash dizara Yesussay Farsawe keeththan quma maada bollan dizayssa siyada issi albbasxxirosse bilqqaxxe shitto ekka yadus.
38 [As the people there were reclining to eat], the woman stood behind [Jesus, at his] feet. As she was crying [because she was sorry for her sins, her tears fell on Jesus’ feet]. Then she wiped his feet with her hair, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the perfume.
yaadane Yesussappe guyyera iza toho achchan eqqada yekashenne ba afunthan iza toho caphisadda ba huu7e ithikera quccashenne yerashe shitto tiyadus.
39 When the Pharisee who had invited [Jesus] saw that, he thought, “[Prophets know about other people’s lives], [so] if Jesus were a prophet, he would have known who this woman is who is touching him, and what kind of a person she is. He would have known that she is a prostitute! [EUP]”

40 Jesus said to him, “Simon, there is something I want to tell you [(sg)].” He replied, “Teacher, what is it?”
Yesussaykka Simoona “nees ta yootanazi dees” gides. Simoonaykka tamaarisizayso ero yoota gides.
41 Jesus replied, “Two people owed some money to a man who [earned money by] lending [it to others]. One owed him 500 silver coins, and the other owed him 50 silver coins.
Yesussaykka zaaridi issi miishshe tal7e immizaddefe tal7e ekkida nam77u asati deetes, istafe issa bolla ichachu xeet dinnarey dees, nam77anthoza bolla ichachu tamu dinnarey dees.
42 Neither of them was able to pay back [what he owed], so the man [very kindly] said that they did not have to pay back anything. So, which of those two men will love that man more?”
istas qanxiza miishi dhayn tal7e immidaysi nam77anta acoza wursikka maarides. histtikko ha nam77antappe ha tal7e immidaysa darssi dosanay awayssee? gides.
43 Simon replied, “I think that the one who owed the most money and did not have to pay it back [will love him more].” Jesus said to him, “That is correct.”
Simoonaykka zaaridi “daro acoy maarettidaysa gaada qoppays” gides. Yesussaykka “tumu firdadassa” gides.
44 Then he turned toward the woman, and said to Simon, “(Think about [what] this woman [has done]!/Do you [(sg)] see [what] this woman [has done]?) [RHQ] When I entered your house, you [did not follow our custom of welcoming guests by] giving me any water [to wash] my feet, but this woman has wet my feet with her tears and then wiped them with her hair!
he maccashaykko yuuyiidi Simoona hano maccashiyo xeellay? ta ne keeth gelin ne ta tohos haathe shishabeykka shin iza gakides ta to ba afunthan caphisada ba huu7e ithikera quccadus.
45 You did not [follow our custom of greeting by] kissing me, but since I came in, this woman has not stopped kissing my feet!
neni aynne tana yerabeykkashin iza gakides ta gelosooppe oykkada ta toho yero aggabeykku.
46 You did not [follow our custom of welcoming guests by] anointing my head with [olive] oil, but she has anointed my feet with fragrant perfume.

47 So I will tell you that even though this woman has sinned very much, she has been forgiven {[I] have forgiven her}. [By what she has done she has shown that] she loves [me] very much. But a person who has [sinned] just a little bit, but whom [I] have forgiven, will love [me just a little bit].”
hessa gish ta nena gizay iza tana keeha dosida gish iza ba daro nagarappe maaristadus, guuthara maaretiza ura siiqoykka guutha.
48 Then he said to the woman, “You have been forgiven {[I have] forgiven [you]} [for] your sins.”
Yesussay maccashiyo ne nagarappe maaristadasa gides.
49 Then those who were eating with him said among themselves, “(This man must [think that he is God]!/Who does this man [think that he] is [RHQ]), saying that he can forgive [people for] their sins?”

50 But Jesus said to the woman, “Because you have trusted [PRS] [in me, God] has saved you [from the guilt of your sins]. May [God] give you inner peace as you go!”
Yesussaykka maccashiyo nena ne amanoy ashshides saron baa gides.
