Luqaassa 20
1 Issi gallas Yesussay dere asa maqddasen tamaarsishinne miishrachcho qaala sabbakishin qeese halaqqati Xaafetine dere cimati shiiqqettidi izakko yida.
On one of these days, when Jesus was teaching the people in the Temple Courts and telling the Good News, the Chief Priests and the Teachers of the Law, joined by the Councillors, confronted him,
2 Haysa ne oothizay oona shenenee? Nees shene immiday oonee? giidi iza oychchida.
and addressing him, said: “Tell us what authority you have to do these things. Who is it that has given you this authority?”
3 Izikka istas hizgides taka intena issi oychcho oychchays, ane taas zaarite.
“I, too,” said Jesus in reply, “will ask you one question. Give me an answer to it.
4 Yanisa xinqatay saloppeeye asappee?
It is about John’s baptism — was it of divine or of human origin?”
5 Istika ba garsan hizgidi issay issara zorettida “nu Yanisa xinqatay salope giikko nuna histini aazas amanibbeykkettii? gaana.
But they began arguing together: “If we say ‘divine,’ he will say ‘Why did not you believe him?’
6 Asappe giiko asay wuri Yanisay nabe gididaysa amanizza gish nuna shuuchchara caddana.
But, if we say ‘human,’ the people will all stone us, for they are persuaded that John was a Prophet.”
7 Hessa gish izi awappekkonne nu erokko giidi zaarida.”
So they answered that they did not know its origin.
8 Yesussaykka histtikko taka aaza wolqan oothizakonne intes yotikke gides.
“Then I,” said Jesus, “refuse to tell you what authority I have to do these things.”
9 Qassekka Yesussay asas leemusora hizgidi yoottidees. Issi uray woyne mith tokides, biitta goyizaytas kira immidinne hara dere biiddi heen gam7ides.
But Jesus began to tell the people this parable — “A man once planted a vineyard, and then let it out to tenants, and went abroad for a long while.
10 Kaxxiza bone wode kaththafe ekki yaana mala ba ashkkaratappe issi ura gadezza goyida asatakko yediin gada goyizayti kiita bida ashkkara qoxxidi mela kushe yedida.
At the proper time he sent a servant to the tenants, that they should give him a share of the produce of the vineyard. The tenants, however, beat him and sent him away empty-handed.
11 Kaalethidi hara ashkkara yedin goshshanchati ha7ikka oykki qoxxidinne kawishidi mela yedida.
The owner afterwards sent another servant; but the tenants beat and insulted this man too, and sent him away empty-handed.
12 Ha7ikka kaalethidi heezantho ashkkara yedin goshshanchati izakka qoxxethi madunthidi gede kare olida.
He sent a third; but they wounded this man also, and threw him outside.
13 Woyne miththa Goday ha7i ay oothoo? Oone erizayta keeha siiqiza ta naaza yedidakko iza bonchandettoshshaa? gides.
‘What shall I do?’ said the owner of the vineyard. ‘I will send my son, who is very dear to me. Perhaps they will respect him.’
14 Gido attin biitta goyizayti naza beyddamala ba garsan haysi iza laatana naaza gidennee? Haa yite iza wodhidi biitta laattos giidi zorettida.
But, on seeing him, the tenants consulted with one another. ‘Here is the heir!’ they said. ‘Let us kill him, and then the inheritance will become ours.’
15 Woyne miththa tookkida sooppe gede kare kessidi naaza wodhida. Histtikko ha7i woyne miththa Goday ha asata wostanee?
So they threw him outside the vineyard and killed him. Now what will the owner of the vineyard do to them?
16 Yiidine he goshshanchata dhaysana woyne miththa tookkizassoza haratas immana. Dereykka hessa izi gidayssa siyidi hayssa malay hanoppo gides.
He will come and put those tenants to death, and will let the vineyard to others.” “Heaven forbid!” they exclaimed when they heard it.
17 Yesussaykka istakko xeellidi “histini shuuchchan keeth keexiza asati leqqi aggida shuuchchay keethas waana hu7e gidees geetetidi Xaafettida leemusozas birshethay aazzee?” gides.
But Jesus looked at them and said: “What then is the meaning of this passage? — ‘The very stone which the builders despised has now itself become the corner-stone.’
18 Ha shuchcha bolla kundiday wuri shuuchchan qoxxettana shuuchchaykka iza bolla wedhida uray wurikka liiqqana.
Every one who falls on that stone will be dashed to pieces, while any one on whom it falls — it will scatter him as dust.”
19 Xaafetine qeese halaqqati hessi leemusozi ista bolla haasa7ettidaysa eridi heerakka iza oykkanas koyida shin derezas babida.
After this the Teachers of the Law and the Chief Priest were eager to lay hands on Jesus then and there, but they were afraid of the people; for they saw that it was at them that he had aimed this parable.
20 Yesussa wolqara haarizaytas aathi immanas iza duunappe keziza bala qaala demmida oykanas kaalli kaalli naagidanne xillo asa milattida iza kaallidi iza duunappe yo naagiza asata izakko yedida.
Having watched their opportunity, they afterwards sent some spies, who pretended to be good men, to catch Jesus in the course of conversation, and so enable them to give him up to the Governor’s jurisdiction and authority.
21 Iza duunappe yo koyiza asati Yesussa astamaare neni tuma haasa7izaysanne tamaarsizaysa qassekka Xoossa oge ne tumu tamaarsizaysane oonakka shaakka maadontaysa nu eroos.
These men asked Jesus a question. They said: “Teacher, we know that you are right in what you say and teach, and that you do not take any account of a man’s position, but teach the Way of God honestly;
22 Gido attin qeesares giira giiranas bessize bessenne?
are we right in paying tribute to the Emperor or not?”
23 Izikka ista gene qofa eridi hizgides,
Seeing through their deceitfulness, Jesus said to them:
24 ane issi dinnare tana beessite, haysi iza bolla diza medhaynne Xaafezi oonayisee? Istika qeesareysa gida.
“Show me a florin. Whose head and title are on it?”
25 Izikka zaaridi istas qeesareysa qeesares Xoossisa Xoossassi immite gides.
“The Emperor’s,” they said; and Jesus replied: “Well then, pay to the Emperor what belongs to the Emperor, and to God what belongs to God.”
26 Hessa gish iza haasa7ida qaalappe ekkidi asa sinthan iza qaxanas dand7ibeyitenna izi immida qaalan malaletidi co7u gida.
They could not lay hold of this answer before the people; and, in their wonder at his reply, they held their tongues.
27 Hayqqidayta denthi baawa giza Saduqawistappe issi issi asati Yesussako yiidi oychcho shiishshida.
Presently there came up some Sadducees, who maintain that there is no resurrection. Their question was this —
28 Godo issi uray machcho ekkidi na yelontta hayqqikko he hayqqidaysa machchiyo iza ishay ekkidi ba isha laatana na izas yelo giidi Musey nuus xaafidees
“Teacher, Moses laid down for us in his writings that — ‘Should a man’s married brother die, and should he be childless, the man should take the widow as his wife, and raise up a family for his brother.’
29 Histini laappun ishati deetes shin istafe bayray machchidi na yelonta hayqqides.
Well, there were once seven brothers; of whom the eldest, after taking a wife, died childless.
30 Iza kaalozikka izatho hayqqides,
The second and third brothers both took her as their wife;
31 Heezanthozikka izo ekkidees, laappunati wurikka he maccashiyo ekkidi wurikka na yelonta hayqqida.
and so, too, did all seven — dying without children.
32 Wursethan maccashiya hayqqadus.
The woman herself was the last to die.
33 Laappunatikka ha maccashiyo ekkida shin ha maccashiya wursethan hayqqidayti dendiza wode iza awayssa machcho gidanee?
About the woman, then — at the resurrection, whose wife is she to be, all seven brothers having had her as their wife?”
“The men and women of this world,” said Jesus, “marry and are given in marriage; (aiōn g165)
35 Buro yaana alamen hayqqidayta dentha demmnas bessizayti gidikko gelettenanne ekettena. (aiōn g165)
but, for those who are thought worthy to attain to that other world and the resurrection from the dead, there is no marrying or being married, (aiōn g165)
36 Isti kiitanchata mala gidana gish hessafe guye hayqqetenanne hayqoppe dentha nayta gidida gish isti Xoossa nayta.
nor indeed can they die again, for they are like angels and, having shared in the resurrection, they are God’s Sons.
37 Musey qeeri wora gish xaafettida tarikezan Goda “Abrame Xoossa Yisaqa Xoossa Yaqobe Xoossa” gussan hayqqidayti denddanaysa besses.
As to the fact that the dead rise, even Moses indicated that, in the passage about the Bush, when he calls the Lord — ‘The God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’
38 Wurikka izas deyo gidida gish izi paxxata Xoossafe attin hayqqethata xoossu gidenna.
Now he is not God of dead men, but of living. For in his sight all are alive.”
39 Issi issi Xaafeti astamaare lo7o gadasa gida.
“Well said, Teacher!” exclaimed some of the Teachers of the Law,
40 Hessafe guye ay assikka iza oychchanas xaalibeynna.
for they did not venture to question him any further.
41 Hessafe guye Yesussay hizgides asay Yesussa waanidi izi Dawite na gizee?
But Jesus said to them: “How is it that people say that the Christ is to be David’s son?
42 Gaasoykka Dawitey ba xaafida mazmure maxaafatan “ta ne morketa ne tohos yedheth kessana gakkanaas Goday ta Goda ta oshachchan utta” waanidi gidee?
For David, in the Book of Psalms, says himself — ‘The Lord said to my lord: “Sit at my right hand,
until I put thy enemies as a stool for thy feet.”’
44 Histtikko Dawitey iza Goda gi xeygishe waani izas na gidanee?
David, then, calls him ‘lord,’ so how is he David’s son?”
45 Derey wuri siyishin bena kaallizaytas
While all the people were listening, Jesus said to the disciples:
46 goochchetiza adusa qamse mayidi yuushe dosizaytappene giyay dizason sarokketteth koyizaytapenne mukuraben dhoqqa oydenne, diggisa son boncho so koyizaytappe Xaafistappe naagetite.
“Be on your guard against the Teachers of the Law, who delight to walk about in long robes, and like to be greeted in the streets with respect, and to have the best seats in the Synagogues, and places of honour at dinner.
47 Haytanti am7ista keeth kalosizayta. assi beyana mala woosa adusetes hayta iita firday naages. gides.
These are the men who rob widows of their houses, and make a pretence of saying long prayers. Their sentence will be all the heavier.”
