Maatosa 12
1 Hesappe guye Yesusay sambata galas kaththa gidora adhi bidess. Iza kalizaytikka gafida gish tiya duthidi shigechi muus oykidda.
About the same time Jesus walked through the cornfields one Sabbath. His disciples were hungry, and began to pick some ears of wheat and eat them.
2 Parisaweti hessa beyidi Yesusa “hekko nena kalizayti sambata galas oothistanas besontaysa oothetess gidda.”
But, when the Pharisees saw this, they said, “Look! Your disciples are doing what it is not allowable to do on a Sabbath!”
3 Izikka istas zaridi “Dawiteyinne izara diza asati gafida wode izi ay othidakkone nababibeyketi?
“Haven’t you read,” replied Jesus, “what David did, when he and his companions were hungry –
4 Xoossa keth gelidi qesistappe attin Dawiteyne izara dizayti bochanas besonta dumma uketh midess.
how he went into the house of God, and how they ate the consecrated bread, though it was not allowable for him or his companions to eat it, but only for the priests?
5 Woykko qeseti sambata sharidi meqidess gidon otho othikko moro gidontaysa ooritte wogappe nababibeyketi?
And haven’t you read in the law that, on the Sabbath, the priest in the Temple break the Sabbath and yet are not guilty?
6 Gidikkokka ta intess gizay meqdeseppe adhizadey han dess.
Here, however, I tell you, there is something greater than the Temple!
7 “Yarsho gidonta ta maroteth dosays” giza qaalay ay gusukunne inte erizakko xillota bolla pirdekistakkoshin
Had you learned the meaning of the words – ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned those who are not guilty.
8 asa nay sanbatas godda” gidees.
For the Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath.”
9 Heppe izi gede adhishe ista mukurabe gelidess.
Passing on, Jesus went into their synagogue,
10 Henikka issi kushe silidadey dess. Yesuusa kasasanas gasso koyidi “sambata galas pathanas besize?” gidi iza oychidess.
and there he saw a man with a withered hand. Some people asked Jesus whether it was allowable to work a cure on the Sabbath – so that they might have a charge to bring against him.
11 Izikka ista “inteppe isadde dorsi sambata galas olan gilikko ba dorssa izi gelidi ollafe gochi kessi erene?
But Jesus said to them, “Which of you, if he had only one sheep, and that sheep fell into a pit on the Sabbath, would not lay hold of it and pull it out?
12 Histikko assi dorssappe kehi adhene? hessa gish sambata galas lo7o oothoy digetena” gidess.
How much more precious a person is than a sheep! Therefore it is allowable to do good on the Sabbath.”
13 Addeza “ne kushe pidisa” gidess, addezikka ba kushe pidisin hinkko kusheza mala paxa gididees.
Then he said to the man. “Stretch out your hand.” The man stretched it out; and it had become as sound as the other.
14 Giddo atin parsaweti heppe kezidine Yesuusa wosti oyki wodhanakone ba garsan zoretidda.
On coming out, the Pharisees plotted against Jesus, to put him to death.
15 Yesusay ista qohaaththaa eridi heppe haraso deesh gidess. Daro derey iza kalidess harganchatakka wursi pathidess.
Jesus, however, became aware of it, and went away from that place. A number of people followed him, and he cured them all;
16 Izi onakone asas yotonta mala ista azazidess.
but he warned them not to make him known,
17 Hesikka haniday nabe Isayasan “Ta doridayne ta izan ufa7etiza ta nay haysich; ta ayanappe ta iza bolla wothana, izikka amanonta deretas tumu pirda awajana, oyetena, woykko wassena. Izas qalaykka karen siyetena, Tuma pirda xonos gathana gakanas tinceti utida shomboqokka menthenane cuwatiza muqadakka toysena, amanonta dereti iza ufaysan nagana” getetidi yotetida tinbite qalay polistana.
in fulfillment of these words in the prophet Isaiah –
‘Here is my chosen servant, who I love and who pleases me! I will breathe my spirit on him, and he will announce a time of judgment to the Gentiles.
He will not contend, nor cry aloud, Neither will anyone hear his voice in the streets;
a bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not quench, until he has brought the judgment to a victorious issue,
and on his name will the Gentiles rest their hopes.’
22 Hessappe guye daydanthi oykin xelanasine hasa7anas dayda7onta issi ura Yesusakko ekki yida. Yesusaykka iza pathin addezi xelanassine hasa7anas dandaydess.
Then some people brought to Jesus a possessed man, who was blind and dumb; and he cured him, so that the man who had been dumb both talked and saw.
23 Assay wurikka malaletidi “haysi addezi Dawite nasha?” gidess.
At this all the people were astounded. “Is it possible that this is the son of David?” they exclaimed.
24 Giddo atin parsaweti hessa siyda wode “Haysi addezi daydanth kesizay daydantha halaqa bi7el zebula wolqan xala gidanas besses” gida.
But the Pharisees heard of it and said, “He drives out demons only by the help of Beelzebul the chief of the demons.”
25 Yesusay ista qofa eridi “ba garsan isay issappe shaketiza kawotethi wurikka kundana, ba garsan shaketiza katamay woykko ketha assi minena.
Jesus, however, was aware of what was passing in their minds, and said to them, “Any kingdom divided against itself becomes a desolation, and any town or household divided against itself will not last.
26 Xala7ey Xala7e kesiza gidkko Xala7ey ba garasan shaketidess gusa. Hessatho hanikko iza kawotethi wani minana danda7ize?
So, if Satan drives Satan out, he must be divided against himself; and how, then, can his kingdom last?
27 Tani bi7el zebula wolqan kesiza gidikko inte nayti aza woliqan kesane? Hessa gish inte nayti inte bolla pirdana.
And, if it is by Beelzebul’s help that I drive out demons, by whose help is it that your own sons drive them out? Therefore they will themselves be your judges.
28 Gido atin tani daydanth kesizay Xoossa ayanan gidikko Xoossa kawotethi intekko yidess gussa.
But, if it is by the help of the Spirit of God that I drive out demons, then the kingdom of God must already be upon you.
29 Woykko issi uray wolqara dizade keth gelidi mishe bonqana koyikko kasetidi he wolqara dizadeza oyki qashonta wosti bonqane? Qachidappe guye bonqana dandayes.
How, again, can anyone get into a strong man’s house and carry off his goods, without first securing him? Not until then will he plunder his house.
30 Tanara gidontadey tanara eqetes, tanara issippe shishonta uray wurikka lales.
Anyone who is not with me is against me, and the person who does not help me to gather is scattering.
31 Hessa gish ta intess tumu gays nagara othoyne cashi wuri asas ato getistana shin Xillo ayana cayida uray maretena.
Therefore, I tell you, people will be forgiven every sin and slander; but slander against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.
32 Ay assikka asa na bolla hasa7iza iitta qaalay maristana shin Xillo Ayana bolla hasa7iza iita qaalay gidikko hayssa ha woden gidin woykko buro yana woden gidin maroy deena. (aiōn g165)
Whoever speaks against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in the present age, or in the age to come. (aiōn g165)
33 Mithi wuri ayfen eretizaysa mala inte lo7o ayfe demana mala intes lo7o mithi deyo, intes iita mithi diza gidikko inte ita ayfe ekkana.
“You must assume either that both tree and fruit are good, or that both tree and fruit are worthless; since it is by its fruits that a tree is known.
34 Inteno marzera diza shoshato inteni iitata gidi utidi wosti lo7o hasa7anas dandayeti? Ulo garsan kumidazi dunara hasa7etess.
You children of snakes! How can you, evil as you are, say anything good? For what fills the heart will rise to the lips.
35 Lo7o assi ba wozinan kunthi wothida lo7o yooppe lo7o hasa7es, iitta assikka ba wozinan kunthi wothidda itatethappe iitta yo kesses.
A good person, from his good stores, produces good things; while an evil person, from his evil stores, produces evil things.
36 Gido atin ta intess gizay asay ba hasa7ida hada qaala wurso gish pirda galas wurikka oychistana.
I tell you that for every careless thing that people say, they must answer on the ‘day of judgment.’
37 Gassoykka ne qalappe dendidaysan ne xilada atanane ne qalappe dendidaysan ne bolla pirdistana
For it is by your words that you will be acquitted, and by your words that you will be condemned.”
38 Hessappe guye issi issi Musse woga tamarsizaytine parsaweti Yesusa “astamare, nu neppe malalsiza malata beyanas koyos” gida.
At this point, some teachers of the Law and Pharisees spoke up. “Teacher,” they said, “we want to see some sign from you.”
39 Izi istass zaridi “ha iitane layma yeletay malata oyches gido attin nabbe Yoonasa malatappe atin hara malatay imetena” gidess.
“It is a wicked and unfaithful generation,” answered Jesus, “that is asking for a sign, and no sign will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.
40 Yoonasay gita mole ulo giidon heedzdzu qamane hezu galas gami7ida mala asa nay hezu galasine hezu qamma bitta ulon gam7ana.
For, just as Jonah was inside the sea-monster three days and three nights, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
41 Nanawe asay pirda galas hayssa ha yeletara dendidi ha yeleta bolla pirdana; gasoykka Nanawe asay Yoonaasa markatethan maroteth gelida gishasa. Hekko Yoonaasappe adhizadey han dees.
At the judgment, the people of Nineveh will stand up with this generation, and will condemn it, because they repented at Jonah’s proclamation; and here is more than a Jonah!
42 Dugge baga dere kawoya Solomoone erateth siyanas bitta gaxappe dendada yidda gish pirda galas iza hayssa yeletethara dendada ha yeletetha bolla pirdana. Hekko Solomooneppe adhizadey hayssan dess.
At the judgment the Queen of the South will rise up with the present generation, and will condemn it, because she came from the ends of the earth to listen to the wisdom of Solomon; and here is more than a Solomon!
43 Tuna ayanay asappe kezidi sheemppo demanas hathi baynda mela bitan dabures, gido attin ba koyiza shemppo demena.
No sooner does a foul spirit leave a person, than it passes through places where there is no water, in search of rest, and does not find it.
44 Hessappe qasse kasse ta dizaso siimma bana gidi beniso izi simishin kasse izi dizasoy aykoyne baynda mela keth gididi geyidine gigeti dizaysa deemess.
Then it says ‘I will go back to the home which I left’; but, on coming there, it finds it unoccupied, and swept, and put in order.
45 Hessafe bidi hara beppe itiza lapun iitta ayanata benara ekidi yeess. Istika he uran gelidi deyana. He uras kasse dusafe guye dusay iita gidana. Haysa iitta yeletethaskka hessa mala hanana.
Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in, and make their home there; and the last state of that man proves to be worse than the first. So, too, will it be with this wicked generation.”
46 Yesusay asas yotishin iza ayiyane ishati iza yochana koyidi karen eeqidashe;
While he was still speaking to the crowds, his mother and brothers were standing outside, asking to speak to him.
47 Issi uray hekko ne ayane ne ishati nena hasa7isanas karen eeqidi nena koyetes gidess.
Someone told him this, and Jesus replied,
48 Yesusaykka ta aya oone? ta ishatich isti oonante? gidess.
“Who is my mother? And who are my brothers?”
49 Be kushera bena kalizaytakko malatidi, ta ayane ta ishati haytanta.
Then, stretching out his hands towards his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers!
50 Salon diza ta aawa shene othizayti wurikka tass isha michchonne ayo gidess.
For anyone who does the will of my Father who is in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.”
