Luqaassa 21
1 Yesussay dhoqqu gi xeellishin dure asati maqddasen muxaata shiishshizaysa giddon muxaata yeggishni beydees.
[Jesus] looked up [from where he was sitting] and saw rich people putting their gifts into the [offering] boxes [in the Temple courtyard].
2 Qassekka issi am77i maccash dizara nam77u sikkina gidiza nam77u xarqqimala he muxaata shiishshizaysani yegishni xeellides.
He also saw a poor widow putting in two [small] copper coins.
3 Ta intes tumu gays hanna am7eya wurso asappe bollara aadhdheth immadus gides.
He said [to his disciples], “The truth is that these rich people have a lot of money, [but] they gave [only a small part of it]. But this woman, who is very poor, has put in all the money that she had to pay for the things she needs! So [God considers that] [HYP] this poor widow has put more money into the box than all the others.”
4 Hayti asati immiday bees diza tirpafe gidishin iza gidikko bees bayndda woliqqafe bees dizaznne ba duusas koshiza ubbaa yeggadus
5 Iza kaallizaytappe issi issi asati maqddasey lo7o shuuchchanne asay shiiqidi shiishshida miishshan aymala lo7i keexettidakkonne ba garsan haasa7etishn Yesussay haysi inte beyizzays wuri laletonta shuuchchi shuuchcha bolla keelettidamala attontta wodey yaana gides.
Some [of Jesus’ disciples] talked about the Temple. [They commented about] the beautiful stones [used in building the Temple] and the other decorations that [people] had given, decorations [that were on the walls]. But he said,
“[I want to tell you something about] these things that you are looking at. [They will be destroyed] {[Foreign invaders will] destroy [these buildings]} [completely]. Every stone [in these buildings] will be thrown down {They will throw down every stone in these buildings}. Not one stone will be left {They will not leave one stone} on top of another.”
7 Istika iza tamaarsizayso haysi wuri aydde hanannee? Qasse haysi hananayisas malaatay aazze? gidi oychchida.
[Later] his disciples asked him, “Teacher, when will that happen? What will happen [to the temple] to indicate that the things [you(sg) just told us] are about to happen?”
8 Izikka istas inte balettontta mala naagetite daroti bena ta kirstossakko, wodeykka matides gishe ta sunthara yaana shin inte ista kaalopite gides.
He said, “[All that I will say is], be sure that you are not deceived {that they do not deceive [you]} [about these things]! Many [people] will come and say (that I [sent them]/that they have my authority) [MTY]. They will say, ‘I am [the Messiah]!’ They will also [say] ‘It is now the time [when God will begin to rule]!’ Do not follow them [to become their disciples]
9 Ola gishinne dere makal7atetha gish siyiza wode daggamoppite. Hessi wuri kasetidi hananas besses, wursethi gakides heerakka hanena.
Also, whenever you hear about wars and riots, do not be terrified. Keep in mind that [God has said that] those things must happen. But [when they happen], it will not mean that [the world] will end right away!”
10 Qassekka hizgides derey dere bolla kawoy kawo bolla dendana
Then he said to them, “[Groups in various] countries will fight each other, and [various] governments [will also fight] against each other.
11 Biittay wolqama qaath qaaxana koshayne bochay dumma dumma son hanana daro babissizazne saloppe giita malaatay beettanna.
There will be [big] earthquakes, and in various places there will be famines and plagues. [People will see] things that will terrify them. There will also be unusual things happening in the sky.
12 Hessi wuri hananappe kassetidi asay intena oykananne goodana mukurabene woyne keeth gelthana kawota sinthene daannata sinthe shishshanna. Hessi wuri ta suntha gish inte bolla gakana.
But before all these things happen, [some of] you will be persecuted and arrested {people will persecute some of you and arrest you} [MTY]. [Some of] you will be put {They will put [some of] you} [on trial] in the places where you gather to worship, and [you will be thrown] into prison. You will be put on trial {[They] will put you on trial} in front of high government authorities because you are my [MTY] [disciples].
13 Hessi wurikka markkattanna lo7o qaada gidana.
That will be a time for you to tell [them about me].
14 Hessa gish nuna oychizaytas ay zaarinoo? giidi kassetidi hirggonta mala hayssa wozinan wothite,
So determine within yourselves not to be worrying before that happens what you will say to defend yourselves,
15 Iintenara eqettizayti wuri izara eqistanasinne balethannas dandda7onta qaalane cincateth ta intes immana.
because I will make you wise [HEN] so that you will [know] what to say. As a result, none of your enemies will be able to oppose what you say or (refute you/show that you are wrong).
16 Intena yelidaytine inte ishati inte dabbotine inte laggeti wuri intena aathi immana, intefe baggatta wodhana.
[And there will also be other evil things that will happen]: Even your parents and brothers and [other] relatives and friends [who do not believe in me] will (betray you/help your enemies to seize you). They will kill some of you.
17 Ta suntha gish wurso asa achchan inte ixistana.
[In general], most people will [HYP] hate you because [you believe in] me [MTY].
18 Gido attin inte hu7e ithikistappe issinaka dhayuku.
But your souls will be absolutely safe [IDM].
19 Inte minni eqqikko inte shemppo inte ashsha na.
By enduring [all these things people will do to you], you will preserve your [eternal] life [SYN].”
20 Ola asay Yerusaleme giddothishin beyikko izis dhayiza wodey matidaysa erite.
“But when you see that Jerusalem has been surrounded by the armies of [your enemies], you will know that it is time for [this city] to be completely destroyed {[them] to completely destroy [this city]}.
21 He wode Yihudani dizayti pude zuma bolla ganggetto kataman dizaytikka katamappe kezite, dere garssan dizaytikka heen ne katama gelopetto.
At that time those [of you] who are in Judea [district] must flee to the [higher] hills. Those who are in this city must leave [quickly]. Those who are in the nearby countryside must not go back into the city [to get any of their possessions before they flee].
22 xaafettidays wuri polistanas hanna halo kessiza wode.
[You must obey what I tell you] because, in order that all the things that are written [in the Scriptures] will be fulfilled, [God] will very severely punish [the people who stay in this city].
23 Biitta bolla gita metoy hanana hayssa dereza bolla hanqoy yaana hessa gish hessa wode qanthara diza maccashshiyo taasne dhanthiza aayetas hirchchi.
[I feel] very sorry for women [in this city] who will be pregnant, and women who will be nursing [their babies] in those days, [because it will be very difficult for them to run away! I] feel sorry [because] the people in this [land] will suffer greatly [MTY] [when God punishes them].
24 Mashsha hayqana ba dereppe hara dere di7istana Yerusalemeykka Xoossi eronta dereta wodey polistana gakkanaas Xoossi eronta asatan yedhettidaro gidana.
Many of them will be killed {Their enemies will kill many of them} with swords. [Others will be captured] and taken {They will capture [others] and take them} to [HYP] [other] countries. Non-Jewish people will trample over Jerusalem until the time [that God has determined for them to rule the city] is ended.”
25 Awa arshe bolla aginna bollanne xollinte bolla malaatay beettanna. Abbafenne abba danbala giirethafe denddidaysani biitta bolla diza derey hirgananne metotistana.
“There will also be strange things that will [happen to] the sun, the moon, and the stars. In [many] nations, [people] will be very frightened, and they will be anxious [when they hear] the ocean roaring and [see huge] waves.
26 Salo wolqamati qaxxiza gish asay biitta bolla aazze hanannesha gussaninne naagon xalla daabburana.
People will faint because they will be afraid as they wait for what will happen. [They will be afraid] because the powerful [objects] in the sky will be shaken {shake}.
27 Hessa wode asa nay wolqarane gita bonchoranne shaarara yishin beyana.
Then they will see [me], the one who came from heaven, coming in a cloud powerfully and very gloriously.
28 Intekka hayti ha ta gidayti poletethi oykishn intes attotethay matida gish sit gi eqqite inte ayfe pude dhoqqu histite.
So when these things that [I have just now described] begin to happen, stand up [straight and] be brave, because it will be close to the time when [God] will free you [from all suffering].”
29 Kaallethidi ethinne hara miththata wurissi xeellite he miththati haythe kesishin inte beyizza wode bone matidaysa inte ereista.
[Then] Jesus told his disciples this parable: “Think about the fig tree, and all the [other] trees.
As soon as you see their leaves beginning to sprout, you know that summer is near.
31 Neysathokka haytanti geetettidayti poletishn inte beyizza wode Xoossa kawotethi inteko matidaysa erite.
Similarly, when you see these things that [I have just described] happening, you will know that it is almost time for God to [truly] rule as king.
32 Ta intes tumu gays haysi wuri polistana gakanas ha yellistay aadhdhenna.
Keep this in mind: All the things that [I have just now described] will happen before all the people who have observed the things that I have done have died.
33 Saloynne sa7ay aadhdhanna shin ta qaalay aadhdhenna.
[You can be certain that these things] that I have told [you] about will happen. That they will happen is more [certain] than that the earth and sky will continue to exist.”
34 Histtikko woggay bayndda duusan daro ushanne duusas hirgan inte wozinay daaburonta mala he gallasay inte qopponta narxamala inte bolla gakonta mala naagetite.
“But be on guard. Do not be getting drunk with carousing or let yourselves be distracted by worries [concerning] your lives [SYN] {or let worries [concerning] your lives [SYN] distract you}. [If you do wrong things like those, you may be suddenly surprised by my return] [MTY], like a trap [suddenly catches an animal in it].
35 Haysi biitta bollan diza asa wurso bolla gakana.
[You need to know that my return will surprise] everyone all over the earth.
36 Hessa gish buro yaanayisafe inte kessi ekkanamalane asa na sinthan eqqanas dandda7ana mala wurso gallas minnidi woosite.
So be ready at all times. Pray that you will be able to endure without being afraid of all these [difficult] things that will happen, so that you will then stand [confidently] before me, the one who came from heaven.”
37 Yesussay gallas gallas maqddassen tamaarsi tamaarsidi omars omars Dabre zayite geetettiza zuma bolla kezi kezi aqees.
Each day [during that week Jesus] taught the people in the Temple [courtyard in Jerusalem]. But at night he [and his disciples] left [the city] and stayed on Olive [Tree] Hill.
38 Asay wurikka izappe siyanaas maalado wonttara Yesussako maqddase yetees.
Early [each] morning many people came to the Temple [courtyard] to listen to him.
