Maatosa 11
1 Yesusay bena kaliza tamane nam7u asatas azazo immi wursidappe guye tamarsanasne sabakanas Galilan diza katamta bidess.
After Jesus had finished giving directions to his twelve Disciples, he left that place in order to teach and preach in their towns.
2 Yanisay qasho kethan dishe kirstosay othiza hanota siyidi bena kalizayta izakko yedidi ass ashizadey yana getetiday nene ye hara nagino gidi oychidess.
Now John had heard in prison what the Christ was doing, and he sent a message by his disciples,
and asked —” Are you ‘The Coming One,’ or are we to look for someone else?”
4 Yesusaykka zaridi “biidi inte sidaysane inte beyidaysa Yanisas yotite.
The answer of Jesus to the question was — “Go and report to John what you hear and see —
5 Qoqeti xeletess wobeti hamutetes inchracha hargizayti geyetes tuuleti siyetes hayqidayti hayqoppe paxi dendetes manqotas mishracho qalay yotetes.
the blind recover their sight and the lame walk, the lepers are made clean and the deaf hear, the dead, too, are raised to life, and the good news is told to the poor.
6 Tanan dhuphetontadey anjetidade.
And blessed is the man who finds no hindrance in me.”
7 Yanisa kalizayti bidappe guye Yesusay asas Yanisa gish hizgidess “azi beyanas duge bazo bideti carkoy qathiza shombaqo beyanas yideti?
While these men were going back, Jesus began to say to the crowds with reference to John:
8 Woykko az beyanas kezideti? Lo7o mayo mayidi lo7i utidade beyana yideti? Lo7o mayo mayidi lo7izayti kawota kethan deteess.
“What did you go out into the Wilderness to look at? A reed waving in the wind? If not, what did you go out to see? A man richly dressed? Why, those who wear rich things are to be found in the courts of kings!
9 Histin az beyana kezideti? nabe beyana kezideti? Ee ta intes gays nabeppe adhizaysa beyanasa.
What, then, did you go for? To see a Prophet? Yes, I tell you, and far more than a Prophet.
10 “Ne bana ogee neess gigisanade neppe sinthara kalethada ta ness kitana getetidi iza gish kasse xafetida uray izakko” gidees.
This is the man of whom Scripture says — ‘Behold, I am myself sending my Messenger before thy face, and he shall prepare thy way before thee.’
11 Ta intess tumu gays maccashappe yelettida asappe xamaqiza Yanisa milatiza uray biita bolla dendibeyna. Gidikkokka Xoossa kawotethan asa wursoppe lafa uray Yanisappe aadhana.
I tell you, no one born of a woman has yet appeared who is greater than John the Baptist; and yet the lowliest in the Kingdom of Heaven is greater than he.
12 Xamaqiza Yaanisa wodeppe ha simmin ha7i gakanas salo kawotethi daro bagara sugetees. Izzo demanayti mino asata xala.
From the time of John the Baptist to this very hour, the Kingdom of Heaven has been taken by force, and men using force have been seizing it.
13 Nabetikka Musse wogaykka wuri Yaanisa wode gakkanaas buroppe hananaysa yotida.
For the teaching of all the Prophets and of the Law continued till the time of John;
14 Histikko inte ekkana koykko izi yana getetida Elasay izakko.
and — if you are ready to accept it — John is himself the Elijah who was destined to come.
15 Siyiza haythi diza uray siyo.
Let him who has ears hear.
16 Haysa ha wode asa azan lemusso? Giyan uttidi ba lagista “Nu intess dith dixin inte duribeykkista yeho zilalith zilalin yekibeykista giza nayta milatetes.
But to what shall I compare the present generation? It is like little children sitting in the market-places and calling out to their playmates —
‘We have played the flute for you, but you have not danced; We have wailed, but you have not mourned.’
18 Yaanisay musafene ushafe naagetidi yida gish daydanthara dess gida.
For, when John came, neither eating nor drinking, men said ‘He has a demon in him’;
19 Ta asa nay mashene uyashe yiin haysi midi kalonta asa, ushanchane qaraxa shishizaytasine nagaranchatas lage gida. Gido attin Xoossa eratethi ba othon xiladus.
and now that the Son of Man has come, eating and drinking, they are saying ‘Here is a glutton and a wine-drinker, a friend of tax-gatherers and outcasts!’ And yet Wisdom is vindicated by her actions.”
20 Hessappe guye Yesusay izi malatata othida katama asay marotethan gelonta agida gish “Kurazinene Betesayda intena aye inte bolla othetida malatay Xirosa bolane Sidona bolla othetidakko isti maqa maydinne bidinthan utidi beni beni marotethan geli gidanashin.
Then Jesus began to reproach the towns in which most of his miracles had been done, because they had not repented:
“Alas for you, Chorazin! Alas for you, Bethsaida! For, if the miracles which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
22 Hessa gish tani intes gizay firda galas inteppe adhidi Xiirosasine Sidonas qixaatey kawuyana.
Yet, I tell you, the doom of Tyre and Sidon will be more bearable in the ‘Day of Judgment’ than yours.
23 Hanne Qifirnahome pudde salo dhoqu dhoqu ganas koyadi? Gido atin neni duge si7ole wodhandasa, ne bolla othetida malatay Sodomen othetidakko Soodomey hach gakanas daanakoshin. (Hadēs g86)
And you, Capernaum! Will you ‘exalt yourself to Heaven’? ‘You shall go down to the Place of Death.’ For, if the miracles which have been done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have been standing to this day. (Hadēs g86)
24 Hessa gish ta nena gizay pirda galas qixatey neppe Soddomas kawuyana. /s Kirstosay immiza shemppo
Yet, I tell you, the doom of Sodom will be more bearable in the ‘Day of Judgment’ than yours.”
25 Hessa wode Yesusay hizgidi wosidess. “Salo bitta Godo, ta awo, hayssa daro eranchatappene cinccatappe qotada qeri naytas ne qoncisida gish ta nena galatays.
At that same time Jesus uttered the words: “I thank thee, Father, Lord of Heaven and earth, that, though thou hast hidden these things from the wise and learned, thou hast revealed them to the child-like!
26 Aabo Ee haysi ne sinthan lo7o ne shene gididi betidess.
Yes, Father, I thank thee that this has seemed good to thee.
27 Wurikka ta aawappe tass imetidess, aawappe atin naza gish eriza uray bawa, qasse nazappene nazi ba shenen qoncisida urappe haray aawa eriza uray ba.
Everything has been committed to me by my Father; nor does any one fully know the Son, except the Father, or fully know the Father, except the Son and those to whom the Son may choose to reveal him.
28 inteno, tokkoy dexidaytine daburidayti wurikka taakko ha yitte, takka intess shemppo immana.
Come to me, all you who toil and are burdened, and I will give you rest!
29 Ta qambara tokitte tappekka tamaritte tani ta wozinan aadane ashke inte shemppos inte shemppo demana.
Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly-minded, and ‘you shall find rest for your souls’;
30 Ta qambaray shaykone ta tohoy kawushe.
for my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
