Luqaassa 14
1 Issi gallas Yesussay quma maanaas Farsawista halaqatape issa so gelida wode asay wuri Yesussa ay oothanakonne gidi ayfe iza bolla tooki xellides.
One day--it was a Sabbath--He was taking a meal at the house of one of the Rulers of the Pharisee party, while they were closely watching Him.
2 Heenka asatethay izas purin wayetiza issi assi iza sinthan dees.
In front of Him was a man suffering from dropsy.
3 Yesussaykka Muse woga erizaytanne Farsawista saketizadde sanbbata gallas pathanaas koshize koshennee? gidi oychchides.
This led Jesus to ask the lawyers and Pharisees, "Is it allowable to cure people on the Sabbath?"
4 Istika co7u gida izikka addezza bochchiddi pathi yeddides.
They gave Him no answer; so He took hold of the man, cured him, and sent him away.
5 Qassekka intefe issi asas sanbbata wode nay woykko booray kundidi olan geliko eeson heeraka kesonta uray oone? gides.
Then He turned to them and said, "Which of you shall have a child or an ox fall into a well on the Sabbath day, and will not immediately lift him out?"
6 Istika oychas aykko zaroka demmnaas dand7ibeyitenna
To this they could make no reply.
7 Xeygetida asati uttanaas boncho so koyishin Yesussay beyidi leemuso istas hiz gidi yoottides.
Then, when He noticed that the invited guests chose the best seats, He used this as an illustration and said to them,
8 Issi assi nena sarges xeysiko boncho son utofa, nepe bollara bonchetizaddey xeysetiko
"When any one invites you to a wedding banquet, do not take the best seat, lest perhaps some more honoured guest than you may have been asked,
9 Intena nam77antaka xeysidaddey yiidi ne utidasoza hayssaddes yeda gaana, nenika yelatashe ziqaso banddassa.
and the man who invited you both will come and will say to you, 'Make room for this guest,' and then you, ashamed, will move to the lowest place.
10 Gido attin xeysetida wode ziqaso xellada utta, nena xegidaddey yiidi ta lagge haaya dhoqason utta gaandes, nenika he wode nenara maaddan utida asa wurso sinthan bonchetana.
On the contrary, when you are invited go and take the lowest place, that when your host comes round he may say to you, 'My friend, come up higher.' This will be doing you honour in the presence of all the other guests.
11 Ays giiko bena dhoqqu histizaddey wuri ziq gaana bena ziq histizaddey wuri dhoqqu gaana.
For whoever uplifts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be uplifted.
12 Yesussaykka xeygidaddeza hiz gides quma woykko ka7o muzanas xeysiko neysatho nena xeysidi muzonta mala ne laggeta woykko ne ishata, ne dabota, woykko durista woykko dure guttata xegopa
Also to His host, who had invited Him, He said, "When you give a breakfast or a dinner, do not invite your friends or brothers or relatives or rich neighbours, lest perhaps they should invite you in return and a requital be made you.
13 Gido attin asa xeysada muzana koyko manqota, kushey toy bayndda wobistane qooqeta xeysa neni anjetana.
But when you entertain, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind;
14 Xeysetidayti kushe zaranaas danda7onta gish xillota dentha wode nees kushey zaretana.
and you will be blessed, because they have no means of requiting you, but there will be requital for you at the Resurrection of the righteous."
15 Maaddan Yesussara issife utidaytape issay hayssa siyidi Xoossa kawotethan shiiqidi maaddafe miza uray anjetidadde gides.
After listening to this teaching, one of His fellow guests said to Him, "Blessed is he who shall feast in God's Kingdom."
16 Yesussaykka hizgides issi assi wolqama diggisa giigisidi daro assi xeygides.
"A man once gave a great dinner," replied Jesus, "to which he invited a large number of guests.
17 Diggissa maana wodeyka gakin xeygetida imathata wurikka giigida gish ha yite gidi xegana mala ba ashkkara yeddides.
At dinner-time he sent his servant to announce to those who had been invited, "'Come, for things are now ready.'
18 Gido attin wurikka beso hara gaaso shiishidi isoy ha7i gade shamadis baada beyanas besses hachsi tana lancofa gides.
"But they all without exception began to excuse themselves. The first told him, "'I have purchased a piece of land, and must of necessity go and look at it. Pray hold me excused.'
19 Hankoysika tani ichachu waxa boora shamadis izista paaca xellana gish hach tana lancofa gides.
"A second pleaded, "'I have bought five yoke of oxen, and am on my way to try them. Pray hold me excused.'
20 Qasse hara asaykka tani buro miishratethan days baannaas danda7ikke gides.
"Another said, "'I am just married. It is impossible for me to come.'
21 Oothanchayka kitetida soope simmidi hezati gidayssa ba Godas yoottides. he wodeka diggisa giigisidays hanqetidi oothancha hizgides, elella oydu oge kezada manqota, kusheynne toy bayndda wobista qomaxatanne ayfey bayndda qooqeta ha geltha gides.
"So the servant came and brought these answers to his master, and they stirred his anger. "'Go out quickly,' he said, 'into the streets of the city--the wide ones and the narrow. You will see poor men, and crippled, blind, lame: fetch them all in here.'
22 Oothanchayka zaaridi ta Godo ne tana azazidaysa wursa poladis burokka utetha soy dees gides.
"Soon the servant reported the result, saying, "'Sir, what you ordered is done, and there is room still.'
23 Godazikka oothanchaza gede oydu oge keza ta keeth kumana mala pudene dugenne aadhdhizaytta wolqara geltha.
"'Go out,' replied the master, 'to the high roads and hedge-rows, and compel the people to come in, so that my house may be filled.
24 Tani tuma gays diggisa maana xeysetidaytape issi urayka duunan gelthenna gides.
For I tell you that not one of those who were invited shall taste my dinner.'"
25 Daro derey izara issife bizayssa beyidi guye simmida Yesussay hizgides.
On His journey vast crowds attended Him, towards whom He turned and said,
26 Taako yizay wuri ba aawanne ba, ba machchonne nayta, ba ishatanne michchista ba duus gidiin ixonta agikko tana kaallizadde gidanas danda7enna.
"If any one is coming to me who does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes and his own life also, he cannot be a disciple of mine.
27 Be masqale tookidi tana kaalontay tana kaallizadde gidanas danda7enna.
No one who does not carry his own cross and come after me can be a disciple of mine.
28 Inte issi assi keethe keexanas koyko polanaas danda7anakkonne danda7ontako koyrotidi ba bira qopontay oone?
"Which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not sit down first and calculate the cost, asking if he has the means to finish it? --
29 Keetha keexana doomidi wursanaas hanonta ixxiko beydda assi wuri iza bolla miicana.
lest perhaps, when he has laid the foundation and is unable to finish, all who see it shall begin to jeer at him,
30 Istika hizgana haysi addezzi keeth oykides shin polibeyna.
saying, 'This man began to build, but could not finish.'
31 Woykko issi kawoy hara kawora olistana giigiidi nam77u tamu shi asa assi ekki yiza kawo zaranaas tamu shi ola asara zaranakonne uttidi qopontay oone?
Or what king, marching to encounter another king in war, does not first sit down and deliberate whether he is able with ten thousand men to meet the one who is advancing against him with twenty thousand?
32 Ola zaranaas danda7ettontta milatida bettikko buro hahon dishin maqaynanas gaana yedes.
If not, while the other is still a long way off, he sends messengers and sues for peace.
33 Izaka mala inte oonikka gidiin bees dizaysa aggontay oonikka tana kaallizadde gidanas danda7enna.
Just as no one of you who does not detach himself from all that belongs to him can be a disciple of mine.
34 Maxiney lo7oshin maxiney mal7onta ixxiko go7ena,
"Salt is good: but if even the salt has become tasteless, what will you use to season it?
35 Gadeni yegin gidonta gish co kare wora yegetes siyiza haythi diza assi siyo.
Neither for land nor dunghill is it of any use; they throw it away. Listen, every one who has ears to listen with!"
