Luqaassa 18
1 Bena kaallizayti azalontta wurso wode woossanas bessizaysa erisanas Yesussay ha leemusoza istas yoottides.
He also taught them by a parable that they must always pray and never lose heart.
2 “Issi kataman Xoossine babbontta asenne bonchontta issi daannay dees.
"In a certain town," He said, "there was a judge who had no fear of God and no respect for man.
3 He katamankka issi am77i maccash daysu, izakka ta balggarara taas moottoy diza gish firdarikki gashe izakko simeristadus.
And in the same town was a widow who repeatedly came and entreated him, saying, "'Give me justice and stop my oppressor.'
4 Daannazikka daro wode gakanas izis firdibeynna, gido attin guyyeppe ba wozinan Xoossi babbontta assekka bonchontta agikko,
"For a time he would not, but afterwards he said to himself, "'Though I have neither reverence for God nor respect for man,
5 hanna am77e maccashiya tana wayssiza gish ta izis pirdana, hessa histonta agikko wurso wode simeristada tana daabbursana.” gides.
yet because she annoys me I will give her justice, to prevent her from constantly coming to pester me.'"
6 Godaykka hizgides “makkal7ancha daannay gidayssa siyite,
And the Lord said, "Hear those words of the unjust judge.
7 Xoossi gallassinne omars izakko wassiza doorettidaytas fiiddenneyee? Tana ay metide giidi ba maado gam7issandee?
And will not God avenge the wrongs of His own People who cry aloud to Him day and night, although He seems slow in taking action on their behalf?
8 Ta intes gays istas elle firdana, gido attin asa nay yiza wode biitta bolla amano demandeeshsha?”
Yes, He will soon avenge their wrongs. Yet, 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.
And to some who relied on themselves as being righteous men, and looked down upon all others, He addressed this parable.
10 Nam77u asati woossanas maqddase bida, issay Farsawe hinkkoysi qaraxa shiishizadde.
"Two men went up to the Temple to pray," He said; "one being a Pharisee and the other a tax-gatherer.
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, standing erect, prayed as follows by himself: "'O God, I thank Thee that I am not like other people--I am not a thief nor a cheat nor an adulterer, nor do I even resemble this tax-gatherer.
12 Samintan nam77a xoomays, taas dizaysafe tamappe issa immays.
I fast twice a week. I pay the tithe on all my gains.'
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-gatherer, standing far back, would not so much as lift his eyes to Heaven, but kept beating his breast and saying, "'O God, be reconciled to me, sinner that I am.'
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 that this man went home more thoroughly absolved from guilt than the other; for every one who uplifts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be uplifted."
15 Yesussay bochcherethanna mala asay guutha nayta izakko ehides. Iza kaallizaytikka hessa beydda wode hanqettida.
On one occasion people also brought with them their infants, for Him to touch them; but the disciples, noticing this, proceeded to find fault with them.
16 Gido attin Yesussay guutha nayta beekko xeeygidi hiz gides “guutha nayti taakko yanayisa diggoppite, Xoossa kawotethi haytanta malaatasa.
Jesus however called the infants to Him. "Let the little children come to me," He said; "do not hinder them; for it is to those who are childlike that the Kingdom of God belongs.
17 Ta intes tumu gays, Xoossa kawotethi guutha na mala ekkontay wuri izin gelenna.”
I tell you in solemn truth that, whoever does not receive the Kingdom of God like a little child will certainly not enter it."
18 Ayhuddista halaqqatappe issay kiya astaamarezo medhina deyo lattanas ay ootho giidi oychchides. (aiōnios g166)
The question was put to Him by a Ruler: "Good Rabbi, what shall I do to inherit the Life of the Ages?" (aiōnios g166)
19 Yesussaykka hizgidi zarides, “aazas tana kiya gazii? Issi Xoossafe attin hara kiyay deenna.
"Why do you call me good?" replied Jesus; "there is no one good but One, namely God.
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 lie in giving evidence;' 'Honour thy father and thy mother.'"
21 Addezzikka hayta gidikko guutha natetethafe doomada naagadis gides.
"All of those," he replied, "I have kept from my youth."
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 receiving this answer Jesus said to him, "There is still one thing wanting in you. Sell everything you possess and give the money to the poor, and you shall have wealth in Heaven; and then come, follow me."
23 Gido attin addezzi hessa siyida wode daro haaroy izas diza gish keehi michetides.
But on hearing these words he was deeply sorrowful, for he was exceedingly rich.
24 Yesussaykka addezza xeellidi daro miishi diza asati Xoossa kawotethi gelanays aymala meto” gides.
Jesus saw his sorrow, and said, "With how hard a struggle do the possessors of riches ever enter the Kingdom of God!
25 Durey Xoossa kawotethi gelanaysafe gaammelay narppe lukkora gelanaysi matana.
Why, it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God."
26 Hessa siyida asay histin oonii attanna dandda7izee? gides.
"Who then can be saved?" exclaimed the hearers.
27 Yesussaykka asa achchan dandda7etontay Xoossa achchan dandda7etees gides.
"Things impossible with man," He replied, "are possible with God."
28 Phexirosaykka hekko nuni nuus dizaz wursi aggiddi nena kaallidos gides.
Then Peter said, "See, we have given up our homes and have followed 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
"I solemnly tell you," replied Jesus, "that there is no one who has left house or wife, or brothers or parents or children, for the sake of God's Kingdom,
31 Yesussaykka bena kaalliza tammanne nam77anta dumma efidi ha7i nuni Yerusaleme kezana goos, nabeti asa na gish xaafidaysi wuri polistana.
Then He drew the Twelve to Him and said, "See, we are going up to Jerusalem, and everything written in the Prophets which refers to the Son of Man will be fulfilled.
32 Dere asas aathi immana, istikka iza qidhi ka77ananne waysana, iza bolla cuttana
For He will be given up to the Gentiles, and be mocked, outraged and spit upon.
33 garafana hessafekka zaaridi wodhana. Izikka heezzantho gallas hayqqoppe dendana gides.
They will scourge Him and put Him to death, and on the third day He will rise to life again."
34 Iza kaallizayti gidikko hessa wursofe isinoka eribeyttenna. Iza guussaykka istafe gemettides. Izi aaza gish hasa7idaakkonne eribeyttenna.
Nothing of this did they understand. The words were a mystery to them, nor could they see what He meant.
35 Yesussay Yarko gizaso matida wode issi qooqe addey oge duunan uttidi woossishe dees.
As Jesus came near to Jericho, there was a blind man sitting by the way-side begging.
36 Qooqe addezzikka daro asay ogera aadhdhizaysa siyidi hessi aazzee? gi oychchides.
He heard a crowd of people going past, and inquired what it all meant.
37 Isttikka izas Naazirete Yesussay hayssara aadhdhes giidi yootida.
"Jesus the Nazarene is passing by," they told him.
38 Izikka Dawite na Yesussa taas qadhetta gi wassides.
Then, at the top of his voice, he cried out, "Jesus, son of David, take pity on me."
39 Yesussappe sintheti bizaytti c7o7uga giidi hanqqettida. gido attin izi Dawite no taas qadhetta giidi darisi waassidees.
Those in front reproved him and tried to silence him; but he continued shouting, louder than ever, "Son of David, take pity on me."
40 Yesussaykka eqqidi addezza izakko ehanna mala azaziddes, izikka izakko shiiqida wode
At length Jesus stopped and desired them to bring the man to Him; and when he had come close to Him He asked him,
41 ta nees ay oothanna mala koyay giidi oychchides. Qooqezikka Godo xeellanaas koyays gides.
"What shall I do for you?" "Sir," he replied, "let me recover my sight."
42 Yesussaykka nena ne amanoy pathides xeella gides.
"Recover your sight," said Jesus: "your faith has cured you."
43 Addezzikka heerakka xeellidees. Xoossakka bonchishshe Yesussa kaallidees. Hessa beydda derey wuri Xoossa galattides.
No sooner were the words spoken than the man regained his sight and followed Jesus, giving glory to God; and all the people, seeing it, gave praise to God.
