Marqqossa 8
1 He wode qasse daro assi shiqides, shiqida asas miza kathi baynda gish Yesusay bena kalizayta xeygidi hizgidees;
During those days, a large crowd of people gathered again. [After they had been there a couple days], they had no food to eat. So Jesus summoned the disciples [to come closer] and then he said to them,
2 Hayti asati tanara heedzdzu galas gakanas gam7ida gishinne qassekka istas miza kathi baynda gish tana miichetes.
“This is the third day that these people have been with me, and they have nothing [left] to eat, so now I feel very sorry for them.
3 Istappe issi issi asati hahoppe yida gish hayssa gafara ta ista so yedikko daburidi ogge bolla kundana.
Furthermore, if I send them home [while they are still] hungry, [some of] them will faint on the way home, because some of them have come from far away.”
4 Iza kalizaytikka zaridi “hayssa bazon hayssa mala dere muzana qumma awappe demmane?” gida.
[Knowing that he was suggesting that they give the people something to eat, one of] his disciples replied, “(We cannot possibly find food to satisfy this crowd, here in this place where no people live!/How can we find food to satisfy this crowd, here in this place where no people live?)” [RHQ]
5 Izikka ista intekkon appun ukethi dize? gi oychidees. Isttkka “lappun ukethi dees” gida.
Jesus asked them, “How many loaves of bread do you have?” They replied, “[We have] seven [flat loaves].”
6 Izikka asay gadde bolla utana mala azazides; lappun uketha ba kushen oykidi galtidinne menthidi asas gishechanamala bena kalizaytas immin istika derezas gishida.
Jesus commanded the crowd, “Sit down on the ground!” [After they sat down], he took the seven loaves, he thanked [God for them], he broke them [into pieces] and started giving them to his disciples in order that they might distribute them [to the people].
7 Qassekka hen diza qeri molista gish Xoossu galatidi asas gishistanamala bena kalizayta azazidees.
[They found that] they [also] had a few small [dried] fish. So after he thanked God for these, he told the disciples, “Distribute these also.” [After they distributed the bread and fish to the crowd],
8 Dereukk midi kalidees. Hessappekka iza kalizayti madappe tirfida kath lappun pitha kummeth denthida.
the people ate this food and they had plenty [to] satisfy [them]. [The disciples] collected the pieces of food that were left over. [They filled] seven large baskets full of those pieces.
9 Hessa mida asay oydu shiye gidana. He asa moyzidi bena kalizatara wogolon gelidi gede Dalmanuta getetizaso bidees.
[They estimated that] there were about 4,000 people [who ate on that day].
Then Jesus dismissed the crowd. Immediately after that, he got into the boat along with his disciples, and they went [around Lake Galilee] to Dalmanutha district.
11 Parsaweti yidi Yesusara palameteth oykida. Iza paacanas koydi bena saloppe malata besana mala oychida.
[In those days some] Pharisees came to Jesus. They asked him [to perform] a miracle [that would show that] God [had sent him]. They wanted to [find a way by which they could] convince the people to reject him. [So] they started to argue with him.
12 Izikka tooki shmepidi “Haysi yeletazi aazas malata koyizee? Ta intes tummu gays hayssa yelets issi malataykka immetena gidees.
Jesus sighed quietly to himself, and then he said, “I am disgusted that [RHQ], [even though] you people have seen how I [have healed people], you keep asking me to perform miracles! Note this: Such a miracle will certainly not be shown {I will certainly not show such a miracle} [just] for you people!”
13 Ista hen agidinne wogolon gelidi he pinth piniddees.
Then he left them. He got into the boat again, along [with his disciples], and they went further around [Lake Galilee].
14 Izza kalizayti kath oykonta baletida gish issi uketh atin wogolo gidon hara ay kathikka deena.
The disciples had forgotten to bring along [enough] food. Specifically, they had only one flat loaf of bread with them in the boat.
15 Yesusay ista “Parsawista isrshppenne Herodosa irshoppe nagetitte gidi azazidees.
[As they were going], Jesus warned them against [the attitudes the Pharisees and Herod Antipas had, attitudes that were having a bad effect on other people. He did this by telling them a parable]. He said, “Be careful! Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod!”
16 Issti qasse ba garsan issay issara “izi nuna hayssa gizay nuss kath baynda gishasakko” gi yotetida.
[The disciples misunderstood him]. So they said to one another, “[He must have said that] because we have no bread.”
17 Qasse Yesusay issta qofa eridi (Nuss kathi baynda gish gasa) gidi inte garsan aazas hasa7eteti? Ha7ikka yushi qopeketi? Wozinanka wotheketi? woykko inte wozinay mumidee?
Jesus knew [what they were discussing among themselves]. So he said to them, “([I am disappointed that you are] discussing about your not having enough bread!/Why are you discussing about your not having enough bread?) [RHQ] (You should understand by now [that I can provide miraculously for you if you need food!/Why do you not yet perceive or understand that I can provide miraculously for you if you need food]?) [RHQ] (You are not thinking!/Why are you not thinking?) [RHQ]
18 Intees ayfey dees shin xeleketi? Haythi dees shin siyeketi? Akekeketi?
(I am also disappointed that, although you have eyes, you do not [understand what you] see!/Why is it that, although you have eyes, you do not [understand what you] see?) [RHQ] You have ears, but you do not understand [what I say] [RHQ]!” [Then he asked], “Do you not remember [what happened]
19 Ichachu uketha ichachu shiye asas ta mentha immin appun pitha kumeth kath denthideti?” gides. Isstika zaridi “tamanne namm7u” gida.
when I broke [only] five loaves [and fed] the 5.000 people [RHQ]? [Not only was everyone satisfied, but there was food left over] How many baskets full of pieces of bread [that were left over] did you collect?” They replied, “We collected twelve baskets full.”
20 Izikka “Lappun uketha oydu shiye asas ta mentha immin appun pitha kumetha kathi denthideti” gi oychin isstika “lappun” gida.
Then he asked, “When I broke the seven loaves in order to [feed] the 4,000 people, [again when everyone had plenty to eat], how many large baskets [of pieces of bread that were left over] did you collect?” They replied, “[We collected] seven [large baskets full].”
21 Izikka istta histin “Ha7i gakanas yushi qopibeykistaka” gidees.
Then he kept saying to them, “([I am disappointed that] you do not understand yet [that you should never worry that you do not have enough food]!/Why do you not understand yet [that you should never worry that you do not have enough food]?)” [RHQ]
22 Hessfe gede Betesayda gizaso bida. Gutha asatikka issi ayfe qoqe assi Yesusakko ehidi Yesusay iza bochanamala wosida.
They arrived [in the boat] at Bethsaida [town]. People brought to Jesus a blind man and earnestly requested that Jesus touch him [in order to heal him].
23 Izikka he qoqeza kushe oyki gochidi asssi dizasoppe gede kare kesidi addeza ayfen cutidinne ba kushe iza bolla wothidi ha7i ness azi betize? gi oychidees.
Jesus took the hand of the blind man, led him outside the town, he put his saliva on the man’s eyes, he put his hands on the man, and then he asked him, “Do you see anything?”
24 Izikka dhoqu gi xelidi “asay mith milatidi qaxetishe betes” gidees.
The man looked up and then he said, “[Yes], I see people! They are walking around, but I cannot see them [clearly]. They look like trees!”
25 Qassekka Yesusay ba kushista iza ayfeta bolla wothidees, herakka iza ayfeti xelida, kasse po7oykka izas simmin wursikka geshi xelidees.
Then Jesus again touched the eyes of the blind man. The man looked intently and at that moment he was completely healed! He could see everything clearly.
26 Qasse “ha gutata gido geloppanne oonasikka yotoppa” gidi iza gede izaso yedidees.
Jesus said to him, “Do not go into the town! [First go straight home and tell the people there about what I did]!” Then he sent the man to his home.
27 Yesusay bena kalizaytara Pilipos Qisariya achan diza gutata bidees, Issti oogge bolla dishin benna kalizayta “tana asay oona gize?” gidi oychidees.
Jesus and the disciples [left Bethsaida town and went to the villages near Caesarea Philippi town]. On the way he questioned them, “Who do people say that I [really] am?”
28 Issttikka zaridi nena “Xammaqiza Yanisa gizaytikka deetes, bagayti qasse Elasa getees, harati qass Nabistappe issade getees gidi yotida.
They replied, “[Some people say] that you are John the Baptizer, [who has come back to life again]. Others say [that you are the prophet] Elijah [who has returned from heaven as God promised]. And others say that you are one of the [other former] prophets [who has come back to life again].”
29 Kalethidikka Intech tana oona geti? gidi oychidees. Pixirosay “Neni Kirstosa (Xoossappe kitetidade) gidees.
He asked them, “What about you? Who do you say that I am?” Peter replied to him, “[We believe that] you are the Messiah!”
30 Yesusaykka ba gish oonasika istti yotontamala minthi yotides.
Then Jesus warned them strongly that they should not tell anyone [yet that he was the Messiah].
31 Hessafe Yesusay bena kalizayta “asa nay daro waye beyanaysane dere cimmatan, qesista halaqanine, xafistan kadhistanaysa asa kushen hayqanaysa, hayqoppe hezantho galas dendanas besizaysa tamarso oykidees.
Then Jesus began to teach them, “[Even though] I am the one who came from heaven, it is necessary that I suffer very much. It is also necessary that I be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the men who teach the [Jewish] laws {that the elders, the chief priests, and the men who teach the [Jewish] laws reject me}, and that I be killed {they kill me}. But on the third day [after I am killed I] will become alive again.”
32 Izikka hessa istas qoncisi yotidees, Pixirosaykka iza dumma shaki efidi hessaththo goppa gidi hanqidees.
He said this to them clearly. But Peter took Jesus aside and then, [because he assumed that the Messiah would never die], he started to rebuke Jesus [for talking about dying].
33 Yesusay qass bena kalizayta yushi xelishe Pixirosa “Xal7e ne tappe gede guye ba, neni asazappe atin Xoossaz qopakka” gidi hanqidees.
Jesus turned around and looked at his disciples. Then he rebuked Peter, saying, “Stop thinking like that! Satan [is causing you to talk like that! Instead] of wanting what God wants [me to do, you are wanting] me to do [only] what [most] people [would want me to do].”
34 Hessafe guye asa bena kalizaytara issippe bekko xeygidi “tana kalanas dosizadey dikko bena kado ba masqale tokidi tana kalo” gidees.
Then he summoned the crowd along with his disciples [so that they might listen to him]. He told them, “If any one [of you] wants to be my disciple, you must not do [only] what you yourself want to do. Specifically, you must [be willing to allow people to hurt you and to disgrace you. That is what they do to criminals] who are forced to carry crosses [MET] [to the places where they will be crucified]. That is what anyone who wants to be my disciple must do.
35 Be shemppo ashana dosizadey dhaysana shin ta gishine ta mishiracho qaala gish ba shemppo dhaysizadey wurikka ashana.
[You must do that], because those who try to save their lives [by denying that they belong to me when people want to kill them for believing in me] will not live [eternally], but those who are killed because of being my [disciples] and [because of telling others my] good message will live [forever with me].
36 Assi alame kumeth harikkone ba shempofe mela atikko iza ay go7anne?
People might get everything [they want] in this world, but (they are really gaining nothing if they do not get eternal life [because they do not become my disciples!]/what will they gain if they do not get eternal life [because they do not become my disciples]?) [RHQ]
37 Ero assi ba shemppo gish lame ekanay azi dize?
([Think carefully about the fact that] there is absolutely nothing that people can give [to God] that would enable them to gain eternal life!/Is there anything that a person can give [to God] in order to gain eternal life?) [RHQ]
38 Hayssa laymane nagarncha yeleta gidon dishe tananine ta qalan yelatiza assi wuri ta asa nay taa aawa bonchoranne gesha kitanchatara yiza wode issstan yelatana.” gides.
And think about this: Those who refuse [to say that they belong to] me and who reject what I say in these days when many people have turned away [from God] and are very sinful, I, the one who came from heaven, will also refuse [to say that they belong to me] when I come back with the holy angels and have the glorious brightness that my Father has!”
