Luqaassa 19
1 Yesussay Iyarko giza sora aadhdhi bishin
Jesus and his disciples entered Jericho and were going through the [city].
2 Zakosa geetettiza issi assi he Yesussay biza oge bolla dees. Izikka dere qaraxa qanxisizaytas halaqqanne keehi dure asa.
There was a man [there] named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector, who was rich.
3 Izikka Yesussa geetettizaysi awayssakkonne beyanas koyishin qaantha asa gidida gishinne daro derey Yesussa kaalliza gish Yesussa beyanas dandd7ibeynna.
He tried to see Jesus, but he was very short, and there was a big crowd of people [near Jesus]. So he was not able to see him.
4 Yesussay he ogera aadhdhishin sinthe qaxidi oge bolla diza issi etha miththa bolla kezides.
So he ran further ahead [along the road] that Jesus was walking on. He climbed a sycamore-fig tree to see Jesus.
5 Yesussay etha gars gakidi dhoqqu histi xeellidi Zakosa hach ta ne keeththan pe7anaas besses elella wodha gides.
When Jesus got there, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, come down quickly, because [God wants] me to go [with you(sg)] to your house and stay there [tonight]”!
6 Izikka elle wodhidi ufaysan mokki ekkidees.
So he came down quickly. [He took Jesus to his house] and welcomed him joyfully.
7 He wode heen izara diza asay hessa beyidi nagarancha asa keeththan imatistana gees giidi wurikka garsara zuzumettida.
The people [who saw Jesus go there] grumbled saying, “He has gone to be the guest of a man who is a sinner!”
8 Gido attin Zakosay eqqidi Godo tani taas diza miishshe wursofe baga shaakkada manqqotas immana tani oonappekka wordora bonqqa ekkidaazzi diikko oyddu kushe gujjada izades immanna gides.
Then Zacchaeus stood up [while they were eating] and said to the Lord [Jesus], “Lord, I want you [(sg)] to know that I am going to give half of what I own to poor people. And as for the people whom I have cheated, I will pay them back four times the amount [I have gotten from them by cheating].”
9 Yesussaykka ha uraykka Abrame na gidida gish hach ha keethas paxatethi yides gides.
Jesus said to him, “Today [God] has forgiven [PRS] [you and the other people in] [MTY] this house, because you [(sg)] also [have shown that you have trusted in God as] your ancestor Abraham [did].
10 Haysas gaassoykka asa nay haa yidaysi dhayidayssa koyanasinne ashanassa.
Remember this: [I], the one who came from heaven, came to seek and save [people like you(sg)] who have [gone astray from God, just like a shepherd who searches for his] lost [sheep].”
11 Asay hayssa siyishin leemusora haasa7a oykkides gaassoykka izi Yerusaleme gakkanaas matida gishine asatas Xoossa kawotethi qonccanna hanza milattida gishassa.
They were coming near to Jerusalem, and the people who were [going with Jesus] who heard him say these things thought that as soon as [he got to Jerusalem] he would become their king.
12 Hessa gish issi kawo nay ba kawotetha shuumeteth ekki yanas haaho biitta biddes.
[So] he told them this parable: “A prince prepared to go to a distant country in order that [the Emperor] would make him a king. [He intended] to return later.
13 Be ashkarata giddofe tammata xeeygidi tamu minnane istas immidi, ta simadda yaana gakanas hayssa miishshan zal7ite gides.
[Before he left], he summoned ten of his servants. He gave each of them a coin worth three months’ wages. He said to them, ‘Do business with these coins until I return!’ [Then he left].
14 He dere asati qasse iza ixxida gish haysi addezzi nu bolla kawotana mala koyokko giidi iza geedora aathi yedida.
But [many of] his fellow-citizens hated him. So after he left they sent some messengers to tell [the Emperor], ‘We [(exc)] do not want this man to be our king!’
15 Gido attin ha kawo naazi kawo gididi guye ba dere simmides. Kase bishe tamu minnane immida tamu ashkkarati izi immida biran zal7idi woysa tirfisidakkonne eranas ista xeeygidees.
But [the Emperor] made him king anyway. [Later] the [new king] returned. Then he commanded that the servants to whom he had given the coins should be summoned {that someone should summon the servants to whom he had given the coins}. He wanted to know how much they had gained by doing business with the coins.
16 Istafe koyroy shiiqidi Godo ne taas immida tamu minnaney hara tamu yelides gides.
The first man came [to him] and said, ‘Sir, with your one coin [I] have earned ten more [coins]!’
17 Godazikka iza ne amanettida ashkkara, lo7o oothadassa, ne guutha miishshan amanettida gish tamu katamata ne haarana mala nees immadis gides.
He said to this man, ‘[You are a] good servant! [You have] done [very] well! Because you have [handled] faithfully a small amount [of money, I will give you] authority [to rule] ten cities.’
18 Nam77anthozika izakko shiiqqidi Godo ne taas immida minnaneppe hara ichachu minnaney wodhides gides.
Then the second servant came and said, ‘Sir, with your one coin [I] have earned five more [coins]!’
19 Iza Godazi izas zaaridi neni aysana mala tamu katamati nees imettida gides.
He said to that servant similarly, ‘[Good! I will give you authority to rule] five cities.’
20 Qassekka hara oothanchay shiiqqidi Godo neni wothontasoppe ekkizadde zerontasoppe maxizaddenne menxxe iita asa gidida gish ta nees babbada curqan xaaxxa wothida ne minnaneyo hey ekka gides.
Then another servant came. He said, ‘Sir, here is your coin. I wrapped it in a napkin and put it away, [so that nothing would happen to it].
I did that [because] I was afraid [of what you would do to me if the business failed. I know] you are a man who does not do foolish things with your money. You [even] take [from others money] that does not really belong to you, [like a farmer who] harvests grain [from another man’s field] where he did not [even] do the planting.’
22 Iza Godazi zaaridi izas hayso iita oothanchazo ta ne qaalan nena zaara pirdays. Tani wothontasoppe ekkizaddenne zerontasoppe maxxiiza menxe iita asa gididaysa erasashin tani ta miishsha yelora ekkana mala he miishshan oothanna asatas aazas immabeyki gides.
The king said to that servant, ‘You wicked servant! I will condemn you by the very words [MTY] that you [have just now spoken]. (You know that I do not [do foolish things with my money]./Did you not know that I do not [do foolish things with my money]?) [RHQ] [You said] that I [even] take [from others money] that does not really [belong to me], [like a farmer who] harvests grain [from another man’s field] where he did not [even] do the planting.
So (you should at least have given my money to money lenders!/why did you not [at least] give my money to bankers?) [RHQ] Then [when I returned] I could have collected that amount plus the interest [it would have earned]!’
24 Iza Godazikka heen eqqida asata iza kusheppe minnaneza ekkidine tamu minnaney dizaysas immite gides.
Then [the king] said to those who were standing near, ‘Take the coin from him and give it to [the servant] who has ten coins!’
25 Istika zaaridi Godo izas tamu minnaney deesko gida.
They protested, ‘But Sir, he already has ten [coins]!’
26 Izikka zaaridi diza uras wursos haray gujjistana, bayndda uras kase dizaysi izappe eketti gidanna gido attin tani ista bolla kawotonta mala koyidayta hayta ta morketa taakko haa ehidi ta sinthan shukkite gides.
[But the king said], ‘I tell you this: To the people who [use well what] they have [received], more will be given {[I] will give more}. But from the people who [do] not [use well what they have received], even what they [already] have will be taken away {[I] will take away even what they already have}.
Now, [as for] those enemies of mine who did not want me to rule over them, bring them here and execute them while I am watching!’”
28 Hessa haasa7i simmidi Yesussay Yerusaleme kezanas istafe sintheti biddes.
After [Jesus] said those things, he [continued on the road] up to Jerusalem, going ahead of his disciples.
29 Dabre zayite geetettiza zuma bolla diza Beettefaggenne Bittaanya geetettiza katamatakko matida wode bena kaallizaytappe nam77anta kiittishe heen inte sinthan diza qeeri katama biitte biiddi katama inte gelishin oonikka toggi eronta issi qachcheti diza hare gutte inte demmna iza birshidi haa taas ekki yite, intena oonikka aazas birsheti giidi oychchikko Godas koshes gite gides.
When they got near Bethphage and Bethany [villages], near the hill that is called {that they call} Olive [Tree] Hill,
he said to two of [his] disciples, “Go to the village just ahead [of you]. As you [two] enter [it], you will see a young animal that no one has ever ridden, that has been {someone has} tied up. Untie it and bring it [to me].
If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ say [to him], ‘The Lord needs it.’”
32 kiitetidaytikka biidi izi istas yoottida mala hare gutteza demmida.
[So] the [two disciples] went [to the village] and found the [animal], just like he had told them.
33 Isti gutteza birshin gutteza Godati beyidi aazas birshetti giidi oychchida.
As they were untying it, its owners said to them, “Why are you two untying that young animal?”
34 Istika Godas koshshees gida.
They replied, “The Lord needs it.” [So the owners said that they could take it].
35 Hare gutteza Yesussako ehidi ba mayo wurissi gutteza bolla yegidi Yesussa hare gutteza togisida.
The [two disciples] brought [the animal] to Jesus. They threw their cloaks on the animal’s back [for him to sit on] and helped Jesus get on it.
36 Asay wurikka ba afala Yesussay biza oge bolla miccidees.
Then as he rode along, [others] spread their cloaks on the road [to honor him].
37 Dabre zayite zuma bollara dugeth wothiza ogezakko matida wode qooday bayndda derey ba beydda malaata gish wurikka ufaysara ba qaala dhoqqu histtidi Goda sunthan yiza kawoy anjjettidaysa, saroy salon bonchoy saloppe bolla salon gido gides.
As they came near [to Jerusalem], on the road that descends from Olive [Tree] Hill, the whole crowd of his disciples began to rejoice and praise God loudly for all the great miracles that they had seen [Jesus do].
They were saying things like, “May the Lord [God] bless our king who comes representing [MTY] him!” “May there be peace [between God] in heaven [and us his people]!” “May [everyone] praise God!”
39 Deretappe issi issi Farsaweti Yesussa tamaarsizayso ha nena kaalliza asay gizaysa gonta mala hanqqa gides.
Some of the Pharisees who were in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples [for saying things like that]!”
40 Izikka istas zaaridi hayti co7u gidakkonne shuuchchatikka waassana gides.
He replied, “I tell you this: If these people would be silent, the stones themselves would shout [to praise me]!”
41 Yesussay Yerusaleme matishe katama beyidi izis yekides. nees saro gidizaz hach ne eridakko aazze dizayishin ha7i ne ayfeppe qotettida gish ne morkketi heera haara nena giddoothidi kun7isana wodey yaana gides.
When [Jesus] came near [to] Jerusalem and saw the city, he cried about [its people].
He said, “[My disciples know what they need to do] to have peace [with God]; I wish that even today [the rest of] you people knew it. But now you are unable to know [MTY] it.
I want you to know this: Soon [your enemies] will come and will set up a barricade around your [city]. They will surround [the city] and attack [it] on all sides.
44 Nenanne ne gibbe garsan nenara diza ne nayta wurssi biittara walakkana. Shuuchcha bolla shuuchchikka aggettenna. Hessi wurikka Xoossi nena koyishin neni eronta aggida gishassa.
They will [break through] the walls [and] destroy everything. They will smash you and your people/children. [When they finish destroying everything], there will not be one stone left on top of another. [All this will happen] because you did not recognize the time when God sent his [Messiah] to [save] you!”
45 Hessafe kaallidi Yesussay maqddase gelidi maqddase giddon zal7izayta kessides.
[Jesus entered Jerusalem and] went into the Temple [courtyard]. He saw the people who were selling [things there],
46 Qassekka ta keethay woossa keeththa gidanna geetettidi xaafettidees, inteni gidiko pangazi diza gonggollo histiddista gides.
and he began to chase them out. He said to them, “It has been written {[A prophet] wrote} [in the Scriptures that God said], ‘[I want] my house to be a place where people pray’; but you bandits have made it a cave where you can [hide]!”
47 Wontin wontin maqddasen izi tamaarishin Xaafetinne dere halaqqati iza wodhanaas koyida.
Each day [during that week Jesus] was teaching people in the Temple [courtyard]. The chief priests and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws and [other Jewish] leaders tried to find a way to kill him.
48 Gido attin derey wurikka izara oykettidi izi tamarsizaysa kaalliza gish oothanaazi istas kirq gides.
But they did not find any way to do it, because all the people there listened eagerly to him [and would have resisted them if they had tried to hurt him].
