Marqqossa 9
1 Kalethidikka Yesusay “ta intes tummu gays ha eqida asafe Xoossa kawotethi wolqara yishin beyana gakanas hayqonta issi issi asati detess” gidess.
He also said to [his disciples], “Listen carefully! Some of you who are here now will see God ruling powerfully in [many ways]. You will see it before you die!”
2 Usupun galassafe guye Yesusay Phixirosa Yaqobbene Yanisa benara kalethi ekkidi issi giitta zumma bolla kezidees. Issti berkka dishin issta sinthan iza medhay lammeti wodhides.
A week later Jesus took Peter, James and [James’ younger brother] John and led them up a high mountain. [While they were] alone up there, he appeared very different to them.
3 Izi mayda mayoy bitta bolla onikka mayo mecidi hessa mala bothanas danda7onta bothu botides.
His clothes became dazzling white. They were whiter than anyone on earth could make them by bleaching them.
4 He wode Elasaynne Mussey Yesusara hasa7etishe istas betida.
[Two prophets who had lived long ago], Moses and Elijah, appeared to them. Then the two of them began talking with Jesus.
5 Phixirosay Yesusa “Asatemare nuni han hayssan dizakko nus lo7oko; nes issi dasse, Musses issi dasse, qasse Elassas issi dasse, hezu daassista nu othikoch? gidees.
[After a short time], Peter [interrupted by] exclaiming, “Teacher, it is wonderful to be here! So allow us to make three shelters. One [will be] for you, one [will be] for Moses, and one [will be] for Elijah!”
6 Daro babida gish Phixirosay ba gizaysa eridi gibeyna.
[He said this] because [he wanted to say something, but] he did not know what to say, because he and the other [two disciples] were very awestruck.
7 Heerakka sharay ista kamin shara gidora “Haysi ta dosiza ta naza izi giza siyitte” giza qaala girethi yides.
Then a [shining] cloud appeared that covered them. [God] [EUP] spoke to them from the cloud saying, “This is my Son. I love him. [Therefore], listen to him!”
8 Herakka issti yushi xelin Yesusappe atin oonikka hara uray istara dena.
When [the three disciples] looked around, they saw that suddenly Jesus was alone with them, and that there was no longer anyone [else] there.
9 Issti zumma bollappe duge wodhishin asa nay hayqofe dendana gakanas hayssa isti be7idaysa oonaskka yotonta mala azazidees.
While they were coming down the mountain, Jesus told them that they should not tell anyone [yet] what had just happened to him. He said, “You may tell them after I, the one who came from heaven, (rise from the dead/become alive again) after I die.”
10 Istika bes yotida qaala ba wozinan oykida shin “Hayqoppe dendo gussi ay gusakkonne” gidi ba garasan hasa7etida.
So they did not tell others about it [for a long time]. But they discussed among themselves what it meant when he said that he would (rise from the dead/become alive again) after he died.
11 Qasse issti Musse woga tamarsizayti kasetidi Elasay yana koshes aazas gizo? gidi iza oychida.
[The three disciples had just seen Elijah, but Elijah had not done anything to prepare people to accept Jesus. So] they asked Jesus, “The men who teach the [Jewish] laws say that Elijah must come back to the earth before [the Messiah comes to earth. But you have been here a long time and Elijah came just today. So is what they are teaching wrong?]”
12 Yesusay istas “Tumukka Elasay kassetidi yidi wursikka kasse mala oothana. Histinikka asa nay daro waye eekanasinne kadhistanas beses geteti xafetidaysi intes ay milatize?
[Jesus wanted them to know that John the Baptizer was the one who represented Elijah. So] he answered them, “It is true that [God promised to send Elijah to come] first [so that people would be ready when I came]. Elijah’s representative has already come, and our leaders treated him very badly, just like they wanted to do, just like it was prophesied {[the prophets] prophesied} long ago. But, (I also want you to consider what is written {what [the prophets] wrote} in the Scriptures about me, the one who came from heaven./why have you not thought about what is written {what [the prophets] wrote} about me, the one who came from heaven?) [RHQ] It is written {They wrote} that I would suffer much and that I would be rejected {that [many people] would reject me}.”
13 Gido atin ta intess gizay Eelasay gidikko yidess shin asaykka iza gish xafetida mala bena koshida mala iza bolla othides.” gides.
14 Dugge garsan atida Yesusa kalizaytakko issti simi yishin daro asay issta gidothin Musse woga tamarsizayti istara palametizaysa beyida.
[Jesus and those three disciples] returned to where the [other] disciples were. They saw a large crowd around the other disciples and [some] men who taught the [Jewish] laws arguing with them.
15 Derey iza demida mala malaletidi sarotana izakko woxidees.
As soon as the crowd saw Jesus, they were very surprised [to see him come]. So they ran to him and greeted him.
16 Izikka ista “Inte istara aza gish palameteti?” gidi oychidees.
He asked them, “What are you arguing about?”
17 Assa garsafe issadey “Astemare tuna ayanay izan gelin duna mumida ta na daysa ta neekko eekka yadis,
A man in the crowd answered him, “Teacher, I brought my son [here in order that] you [would heal him]. There is an evil spirit in him [that makes him] unable to talk.
18 Ayanazi dendiza wode bollafe yegess; dunara goponto kessi kessi yegesss; achekka garcess; asatethakka zodisses. Tunna ayana keseto gada nena kalizayta ta oychin istikka danda7ibeytena.
Whenever the spirit attacks him, it throws him down. He foams at the mouth, he grinds his teeth together, and he becomes stiff. I asked your disciples to expel the spirit, but they were not able to do it.”
19 Yesusaykka istatas zaridi “Inteno amanonta yeletato, ayde gakanas ta intenara danne? Qasse ayde gakanas ta intena danda7ane? Aane naza ha ehitte” gidees.
Jesus replied by saying to those people, “(I am very disappointed that [although you] have observed how I help people, you do not believe [that you are able to do anything]!/Why is it that [although you] have observed how I help people, you do not believe [that you are able to do anything]?) [RHQ] (I have been with you a long time, [and you still cannot do what I do]!/How long do I have to be with you [before you can do what I do]?) [RHQ] Bring the boy to me!”
20 Assaykka naza izakko ehidees, tunna ayanay Yesusa be7ida mala naza herakka biitta bolla gendersidi kokorsidinne dunnara goponto coopu histides.
So they brought the boy to Jesus. As soon as the evil spirit saw Jesus, it shook the boy severely, and [the boy] fell on the ground. He rolled around, and he foamed at the mouth.
21 Yesusay naza aawa “Haysi hargey izza oykin woqqa wodde? gidees. Naza aawaykka “natethafe domidi” gides.
Jesus asked the boy’s father, “How long has he been like this?” He replied, “[This started to happen] when he was a child.
22 Iza wodhanas koydi daro wode tamankka hathankka yegess, ness danda7etikko nuss michistanne nunna madda gidees.
[The spirit does not only do this], but he also often throws him into the fire or into the water in order to kill him. But, pity us and help us, if you can!”
23 Yesusay qasse “Ness danda7etikko gay? Aamanizadees wurikka danda7etess” gidees.
Jesus exclaimed to him, “[Do not say] [RHQ] ‘If you can’, for [God/I] can do anything for people who believe [in him/me]!”
24 Naza aaway herakka “Ta ammanays shin ta amanoy lafa, tanna madarikki” giidi wassidees.
Immediately the child’s father shouted, “I believe [that you can help me, but I do not believe strongly]. Help me to believe more strongly!”
25 Assay wocamishe bureti eekidi izakko yizaysa Yesusay beydi “Hayso tulene mume ayanazo hayssa nazappe keza, ne qasse simada gelonta mala ta nena azazays” gidi tuna ayana seridees.
Because [Jesus wanted to heal the boy before] the crowd got bigger, he rebuked the evil spirit, saying, “You evil spirit, you who are [causing this boy to be] deaf and unable to talk! I command you to come out of him and never enter him again!”
26 Tunna ayanazika kehi wasidees, nazikka kehi qaketidappe guye nazappe kezidees. Daroti hayqidees gana gakanas nazi an7ah milatidees.
The evil spirit shouted, it shook the boy violently, and then it left the boy. The boy did not move. He seemed like a dead body. So many of the people there said, “He is dead!”
27 Gido atin Yesusay naza kushe oyki denthidees. Nazikka dendi eeqidees.
However, Jesus took him by the hand and helped him get up. Then the boy stood up. [He was healed]!
28 Yesusay so gelidappe guye iza kalizayti “Nu izappe tunna ayana kessanas aazas danda7ibeykoni?” giidi iza oychida.
Later, when Jesus and his disciples were alone in a house, one of them asked him, “Why were we not able to expel [the evil spirit]?”
29 Izikka istas “hayssa malay kezana danda7izay wosaninne xoomman xallala” gidees
He said to them, “You can expel this kind [of evil spirit] only by your praying [that God will give you the power to do it]. There is no other way that you can expel them.”
30 Heppe dendi Galila bagara adhi bida. Yesusay ba dizso oonikka eeranamala koybeyna.
After [Jesus and his disciples] left that [district], they traveled through Galilee [district]. Jesus did not want anyone [else] to know [that he was in their area]; he did not want
31 Gassoykka Yesusay bena kalizaytas “Assa nay asa kushen adhi immistana istikka iza wodhana, hezantho galasafe guye izi dendana” giidi issta tamarsiza gishasa.
[anyone to interrupt him] as he taught his disciples. He was telling them, “[Some day my enemies] [SYN] will seize [MTY] me, the one who came from heaven, and I will be handed over [to other] men. Those men will kill me. But on the third day after I am killed {after they kill me}, I will become alive again!”
32 Gido atin izi gizaysi isstas gelibeyna; iza ooychanasikka babida.
But they did not understand what he was telling them. Also, they were afraid to ask him about what he had said.
33 Hessafe guye Qifirnahomme bidda. Izi keth gelidi “Inte ooge bolla aza gish palametideti” gi oychidees.
Jesus and his disciples returned to Capernaum [town]. When they were in the house, he asked them, “What were you discussing [while we were traveling] on the road?”
34 Isstti qass ooge bolla “Nu garssan nuppe wursoppe adhizay oone?” gidi palametida gish wurikka co7u gida.
But they did not reply. [They were ashamed to reply] because, [while they were traveling], they had been arguing with each other about which one of them [would be] the most important [when Jesus became king].
35 Izi utidappe guye tammane namm7ata xeygidi “Koyro gidana koyizadey wursoppe wursethinne wursotas ashkara gido” gidees.
He sat down, he summoned the twelve disciples [to come close to him], and then he said to them, “If anyone wants [God to consider him] to be the most important person of all, he must [consider himself] to be the least important person of all, and he must serve everyone [else].”
36 Qii gutha na ehidi ista gidon esidinne idimmidi
Then he took a child and placed him among them. He took the child in his arms and then he said to them,
37 Hayta gutha anaytappe issade ta sunthan mokki ekkizadey tannakka mokki ekes. Tana mokki ekizadey wuri tana xalala gidonta tana kitidaysakka mokki ekkes” gidees.
“Those who, [because they love] me, welcome a child like this one, [God considers that] they are welcoming me. So [it is as though] they are also welcoming [God], who sent me.”
38 Yanisaykka “Astemare, issadey ne sunthan daydanth kesishin nu beydos. Izi nuna kalonta gish kesonta mala digidos” gidees.
John said to Jesus, “Teacher, we saw someone who was expelling demons, ([claiming he had] authority from you [to do that/while telling people] that you [have told him to do it]). So we told him to stop doing it because he was not one of us [disciples].”
39 Yesusay qasse “digopitte oonikka ta sunthan malata oothidi esotidi ta bolla iitta hasa7anas danda7ena” gidees.
Jesus said, “Do not tell him [not to do that]! For no one will speak evilly about me just after he performs a miracle while saying that I [have told him to do it].
40 Nunara eeqetontay wuri nunara dees.
Furthermore, those who are not opposing us are trying to [achieve the same goals that] we are.
41 Ta intes tumu gays inte tiyetida Kirstosas gidida gish ta sunthan issi qulle hath intena ushidadey wuri ba oothoysi waga dhayena.
Also think about this: Those [who belong to me who help you in any way, even] if they [just] give you a cup of water to drink because you follow [me], the Messiah, will certainly be rewarded [by God]!”
42 Hayta tana amaniza ha guthatappe issade dhuphizay wuri dexo woxa shuchi iza qodhen qashetin duge abba gido ooletidakko izas keya gidana.
[Jesus also said], “But if you cause someone who believes in me to sin, [God will severely punish you], even if that person is [socially unimportant like] this little child. If someone tied a heavy stone around your neck and you were thrown {and threw you} into the sea, [you would consider that was a severe punishment. But God will punish you more severely] than that [if you cause a person who believes in me to sin].
43 Hessa gish ne kushey nena balethikko neppe qanxa yegga namm7u kushera gede ganamme tamman ne banaysafe kushe duxa gidada gede de7on geloy ness lo7o gidana. (Geenna g1067)
[So], if you are [wanting to use one of] [MTY, PRS] [your hands to sin, stop using your hand! Even if you have to] cut your hand off and throw it away [to avoid sinning, do it] [HYP]! It is good that you not sin and that you live eternally, [even though you lack one of] your hands [while you are here on earth]. But it is not good that you sin and as a result God throws your whole body into hell. There the fires never go out! (Geenna g1067)
44 Ganamen guxuneyne hayqena, tamaynne to7ena.
45 Nena ne toy balethikko neppe qanxa diga namm7u tora gede ganame taman yegistanappe ne wobbe gidada gede deyoso geloy ness lo7o. (Geenna g1067)
If you are [wanting to use] one of [PRS] your feet to sin, [stop using your foot! Even if you have to] cut off your foot [to avoid sinning, do it] [HYP]! It is good that you not sin and live eternally, [even though] you lack one of your feet [while you are here on earth]. But it is not good that you sin and go to hell. (Geenna g1067)
46 Ganamen guxuneyne hayqena, tamaynne to7ena.
47 Nena ne ayfey balethikko woca kessada neppe diga, namm7u ayfera gede ganamen yegistanappe issi ayfera gede Xoossa kawoteth geloy ness lo7o. (Geenna g1067)
If because of what you see [MTY, PRS] you are tempted to sin, [stop looking at those things]! Even if you have to gouge out your eye and throw it away [HYP] [to avoid sinning, do it! It is good that you not sin and live eternally, even though you lack one of] your eyes [while you are here on earth]. But it is not good that you sin and, as a result, God puts your whole body in hell. (Geenna g1067)
48 Ganamen guxuneyne hayqena tamaynne to7ena.
In that place people suffer forever and the fires are never put out {never go out}.”
49 Burro assi wuri tamman pacistana (metora adhana woykko xillo tamay geshana)
“[You must endure difficulties in order that God will be pleased with you. Your difficulties are like] a fire [that makes things pure] [MET]. [Your enduring is also like] [MET] salt being put [on] {people putting salt on their} [sacrifices to make them pure].
50 Maxinney lo7o, gido attin maxinney ba maxineteth yedikko inte wosti iza mal7o eranne? Inte asatethan maxinney do inte inte garsan dosetitte.
Salt is useful [to put on food], but you cannot [RHQ] make salt to taste salty again if it becomes flavorless [MET]. Similarly, you must remain useful to God, [because no one can make you useful to God again if you become useless]. You must also live peacefully with each other.”
