Luqaassa 18
1 Bena kaallizayti azalontta wurso wode woossanas bessizaysa erisanas Yesussay ha leemusoza istas yoottides.
Then Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray at all times and not lose heart:
2 “Issi kataman Xoossine babbontta asenne bonchontta issi daannay dees.
“In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected men.
3 He katamankka issi am77i maccash daysu, izakka ta balggarara taas moottoy diza gish firdarikki gashe izakko simeristadus.
And there was a widow in that town who kept appealing to him, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’
4 Daannazikka daro wode gakanas izis firdibeynna, gido attin guyyeppe ba wozinan Xoossi babbontta assekka bonchontta agikko,
For a while he refused, but later he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect men,
5 hanna am77e maccashiya tana wayssiza gish ta izis pirdana, hessa histonta agikko wurso wode simeristada tana daabbursana.” gides.
yet because this widow keeps pestering me, I will give her justice. Then she will stop wearing me out with her perpetual requests.’”
6 Godaykka hizgides “makkal7ancha daannay gidayssa siyite,
And the Lord said, “Listen to the words of the unjust judge.
7 Xoossi gallassinne omars izakko wassiza doorettidaytas fiiddenneyee? Tana ay metide giidi ba maado gam7issandee?
Will not God bring about justice for His elect who cry out to Him day and night? Will He continue to defer their help?
8 Ta intes gays istas elle firdana, gido attin asa nay yiza wode biitta bolla amano demandeeshsha?”
I tell you, He will promptly carry out justice on their behalf. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on earth?”
9 Bena xillo asa mala qoodidi ceqettizaytasnne harata leqo ayfen xeelizaytas leemusora hizgides.
To some who trusted in their own righteousness and viewed others with contempt, He also told this parable:
10 Nam77u asati woossanas maqddase bida, issay Farsawe hinkkoysi qaraxa shiishizadde.
“Two men went up to the temple to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
11 Farsawezikka eqqidi ba gish hizgi woossides, Xoosso! tani hara asa mala bonqqizadde, makkal7izadde, laymatizadde harapekka hayssa qaraxa shiishshizadde mala gidonta aggida gish ta nena galatays.
The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed, ‘God, I thank You that I am not like the other men—swindlers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector.
12 Samintan nam77a xoomays, taas dizaysafe tamappe issa immays.
I fast twice a week and pay tithes of all that I acquire.’
13 Gido attin qaraxa shiishshizaddezi haahon eqqidi pude salo dhoqqu giidi xeellanas koybeynna, gido attin ba tira icishe “Xoosso! tana nagaranchaza maara gides.”
But the tax collector stood at a distance, unwilling even to lift up his eyes to heaven. Instead, he beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner!’
14 Ta intes yootays Xoossa sinthan Farsawezi xillotethi demibeyna shin haysi qaraxizaysi xilidi ba so simmides. Bena dhoqqusizay wuri ziq gaana, bena ziqsizay gidikko dhoqqu gaana.
I tell you, this man, rather than the Pharisee, went home justified. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”
15 Yesussay bochcherethanna mala asay guutha nayta izakko ehides. Iza kaallizaytikka hessa beydda wode hanqettida.
Now people were even bringing their babies to Jesus for Him to place His hands on them. And when the disciples saw this, they rebuked those who brought them.
16 Gido attin Yesussay guutha nayta beekko xeeygidi hiz gides “guutha nayti taakko yanayisa diggoppite, Xoossa kawotethi haytanta malaatasa.
But Jesus called the children to Him and said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them! For the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
17 Ta intes tumu gays, Xoossa kawotethi guutha na mala ekkontay wuri izin gelenna.”
Truly I tell you, anyone who does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”
18 Ayhuddista halaqqatappe issay kiya astaamarezo medhina deyo lattanas ay ootho giidi oychchides. (aiōnios g166)
Then a certain ruler asked Him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
19 Yesussaykka hizgidi zarides, “aazas tana kiya gazii? Issi Xoossafe attin hara kiyay deenna.
“Why do you call Me good?” Jesus replied. “No one is good except God alone.
20 Laymatoppa, wodhoppa, kaysotoppa, wordo markkattofa, ne aawanne ne boncha giza azazoza eraasa.
You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal, do not bear false witness, honor your father and mother.’”
21 Addezzikka hayta gidikko guutha natetethafe doomada naagadis gides.
“All these I have kept from my youth,” he said.
22 Yesussaykka hessa siyida wode histtikko nees issi miish paces, nees dizaz wursa bayizadda manqotas imma, salo mazgaban demandasa, izape guye yaada tana kaalla gides.
On hearing this, Jesus told him, “You still lack one thing: Sell everything you own and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me.”
23 Gido attin addezzi hessa siyida wode daro haaroy izas diza gish keehi michetides.
But when the ruler heard this, he became very sad, because he was extremely wealthy.
24 Yesussaykka addezza xeellidi daro miishi diza asati Xoossa kawotethi gelanays aymala meto” gides.
Seeing the man’s sadness, Jesus said, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!
25 Durey Xoossa kawotethi gelanaysafe gaammelay narppe lukkora gelanaysi matana.
Indeed, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”
26 Hessa siyida asay histin oonii attanna dandda7izee? gides.
Those who heard this asked, “Who then can be saved?”
27 Yesussaykka asa achchan dandda7etontay Xoossa achchan dandda7etees gides.
But Jesus said, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.”
28 Phexirosaykka hekko nuni nuus dizaz wursi aggiddi nena kaallidos gides.
“Look,” said Peter, “we have left all we had to follow You.”
29 Yesussaykka istas ta intes tumu gays Xoossa kawotethas giidi ba keeth, ba machcho, ba ishanta woykko bena yeliddayta woykko ba nayta aggida uray
“Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “no one who has left home or wife or brothers or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God
31 Yesussaykka bena kaalliza tammanne nam77anta dumma efidi ha7i nuni Yerusaleme kezana goos, nabeti asa na gish xaafidaysi wuri polistana.
Then Jesus took the Twelve aside and said to them, “Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and everything the prophets have written about the Son of Man will be fulfilled.
32 Dere asas aathi immana, istikka iza qidhi ka77ananne waysana, iza bolla cuttana
He will be delivered over to the Gentiles and will be mocked and insulted and spit upon.
33 garafana hessafekka zaaridi wodhana. Izikka heezzantho gallas hayqqoppe dendana gides.
They will flog Him and kill Him, and on the third day He will rise again.”
34 Iza kaallizayti gidikko hessa wursofe isinoka eribeyttenna. Iza guussaykka istafe gemettides. Izi aaza gish hasa7idaakkonne eribeyttenna.
But the disciples did not understand any of these things. The meaning was hidden from them, and they did not comprehend what He was saying.
35 Yesussay Yarko gizaso matida wode issi qooqe addey oge duunan uttidi woossishe dees.
As Jesus drew near to Jericho, a blind man was sitting beside the road, begging.
36 Qooqe addezzikka daro asay ogera aadhdhizaysa siyidi hessi aazzee? gi oychchides.
When he heard the crowd going by, he asked what was happening.
37 Isttikka izas Naazirete Yesussay hayssara aadhdhes giidi yootida.
“Jesus of Nazareth is passing by,” they told him.
38 Izikka Dawite na Yesussa taas qadhetta gi wassides.
So he called out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”
39 Yesussappe sintheti bizaytti c7o7uga giidi hanqqettida. gido attin izi Dawite no taas qadhetta giidi darisi waassidees.
Those who led the way admonished him to be silent, but he cried out all the louder, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”
40 Yesussaykka eqqidi addezza izakko ehanna mala azaziddes, izikka izakko shiiqida wode
Jesus stopped and directed that the man be brought to Him. When he had been brought near, Jesus asked him,
41 ta nees ay oothanna mala koyay giidi oychchides. Qooqezikka Godo xeellanaas koyays gides.
“What do you want Me to do for you?” “Lord,” he said, “let me see again.”
42 Yesussaykka nena ne amanoy pathides xeella gides.
“Receive your sight!” Jesus replied. “Your faith has healed you.”
43 Addezzikka heerakka xeellidees. Xoossakka bonchishshe Yesussa kaallidees. Hessa beydda derey wuri Xoossa galattides.
Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus, glorifying God. And all the people who saw this gave praise to God.
