Luuqaasa 16
1 Yesuusi ba tamaaretakko, “Issi dure uraas iyappe garssara issi shuumay de7ees. He shuumay ba godaa shaluwa toochchees yaagiya worey keethaawa gakkis.
Jesus told his disciples this story. “There was once a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting what belonged to his master.
2 Keethaaway shuumaa xeegisidi, ‘Taani woygiyabaa si7adinaa? Hizappe neeni ta keethas shuuma gidada oothanaw dandda7onna gisho ta shaluwa taw sheedhdha’ yaagis.
So the rich man called in his manager, and asked him, ‘What's this I hear about you? Bring in your accounts, because you won't be continuing as manager.’
3 “He shuumaykka ba wozanan hayssada yaagidi qoppis. ‘Ta goday tana shuumatethaafe wothana hanees, goya aqanaw wolqqi baawa, woossa maanaw yeellayees; yaatin ta waano?
The manager said to himself, ‘Now what will I do since my master is going to fire me from my job? I'm not strong enough to dig, and I'm ashamed to beg.
4 Shuumatethaafe ta wodhdhiya wode asay tana mokkana mela oothanabaa ta erays’ yaagis.
Oh, I know what I'm going to do so that when I'm sacked as manager people will make me welcome in their homes.’
5 “Hessa gisho, iya godaa acoy de7iya asaa issuwa issuwa xeegi ehidi koyro uraakko, ‘Ne bolla ta godaa acoy ay meli de7ii?’ yaagidi oychchis.
So he invited all those who were in debt to his master to come and see him. He asked the first one, ‘How much do you owe my master?’
6 “I, ‘Laatamu barmeele zayte acoy de7ees’ yaagis. “Shuumay, ‘Wule warqattiya he7e, ellesada, tammu barmeele zayte acoy de7ees gada xaafa’ yaagis.
The man replied, ‘A hundred units of oil.’ He said to him, ‘Sit down quickly. Take your bill, and change it to fifty.’
7 “Hessafe kaallidi nam77anthuwako, ‘New aappuni de7ii?’ yaagis. “I, ‘370 kunttaale gistte acoy de7ees’ yaagis. “Shuumay, “Ne wule warqattiya he7e, ellesada, 296 kunttaale yaagada xaafa’ yaagis.
Then he said to another, ‘How much do you owe?’ The man replied, ‘A hundred units of wheat.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill and change it to eighty.’
8 Keethaaway ammanettiboonna shuumaa iya bilaamatethaas nashshis. Ha alamiya nayti ase oythan poo7o naytappe aadhdhida wozanaamata. (aiōn g165)
The rich man commended his dishonest manager for his cunning idea. The children of this world are more cunning towards one another than are the children of light. (aiōn g165)
9 “Hessa gisho, ta hinttew odays; ha alamiya miishey wuriya wode merinaa keethan mokettana mela ha miishiyara hinttew laggeta shammite. (aiōnios g166)
I tell you, use the wealth of this world to make friends for yourselves so that when it's gone, you'll be welcomed into an eternal home. (aiōnios g166)
10 Ubbaafe guuthaban ammanettiday daroban ammanettidayssa gidees. Qassi ubbaafe guuthaban ammanettonnayssi daroban ammanettenna.
If you can be trusted with very little you can also be trusted with much; if you are dishonest with very little you will also be dishonest with much.
11 Hiza, ha alamiya miishen hintte ammanettonna ixxiko tuma miishe hinttew ooni hadara immanee?
So if you can't be trusted when it comes to worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches?
12 Hintte hara asa miishen ammanettonna ixxiko, hintte buzo miishe hinttew ooni immanee?”
And if you can't be trusted with what belongs to someone else, who will trust you with what is yours?
13 “Issi aylley nam77u godatas haarettanaw dandda7enna. Issuwa ixxiko hankkuwa dosees woykko issuwako shiiqikko hankkuwa kadhees. Hessadakka, hintte Xoossasinne miishes haarettanaw dandda7ekketa.
No servant can obey two masters. Either he will hate one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You can't serve both God and Money.”
14 “Miishe dosiya Farisaaweti hessa si7ida wode Yesuusa qelqisidosona.
The Pharisees, who loved money, heard what Jesus said and laughed at him.
15 I, hinttee hinttena asa sinthan xilliseeta, shin Xoossay hintte wozanaa erees. Asa sinthan bonchchettidayssi Xoossaa sinthan borettidayssa.
But Jesus told them, “You appear pious to people, but God knows what you're thinking. What people value highly is detested by God.
16 “Muse higgeynne nabeta kiitay Yohaannisa gakkanaw hinttew odettishe gam77is. Hessafe guye, Xoossaa kawotethaa Wonggelaa odettishe gam77is. Asi ubbay yaa gelanaw dafettees.
What was written in the law and the prophets lasted until John. From then on the good news of the kingdom of God is being spread, and everyone is forcing their way in.
17 Gidoshin, higgiyafe issi laafa pidaaley attanaappe saloynne sa7ay aadhdheyssi kawuyees.
However, it's easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for the smallest point of the Law to disappear.
18 “Ba machchiw yeddidi haraa ekkiya ubbay laammees. Ba azinaappe anjjettidaaro ekkeysika laammees” yaagis.
Any man who divorces his wife and marries someone else commits adultery, and a man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
19 “Al77onne alleeqo afila ma77iya, sa7i injjetin gallas gallas ufayssan de7iya issi dure asi de7ees.
Once there was a man who was rich. He wore purple clothes and fine linen, and enjoyed a luxurious life.
20 Hari qassi asatethay kumethi madunxida issi Alaazara geetettiya manqoy he dure uraa karen yegeti attidayssi de7ees.
A beggar named Lazarus used to sit at his gate, covered in sores,
21 Koshappe denddoyssan dure uraa gaytappe wodhdhiya tiifiya maanaw amottishe de7ees. Hari attoshin, kanati yidi iya madunthaa laaccosona.
longing to eat the leftovers from the rich man's table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.
22 “He manqoyka hayqqis; kiitanchchoti iya Abrahaame ki7uwa efidosona. Qassi dure uraykka hayqqidi moogettis.
Then the beggar died, and angels carried him away to be with Abraham. The rich man also died and was buried.
23 Si7oolen un77ettidi de7ishe dhoqqu gidi haahon Abrahamenne iya ki7on de7iya Alaazara be7is. (Hadēs g86)
In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham in the far distance, with Lazarus beside him. (Hadēs g86)
24 I, ‘Aawaw Abrahaame, taw qadhettarkii; ha laco taman un77ettada de7iya gisho Alaazari ba biradhdhiya haathan yeddidi ta inxarssa laakothana mela hayyana iya yeddarkki’ yaagidi waassis.
‘Father Abraham,’ he called out, ‘Have mercy on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I'm burning in agony.’
25 “Shin Abrahamey iyaakko, ‘Ta na7aw, ne sa7an de7iya wode lo77obaata ekkidayssa, qassi Alaazari iitabata ekkidayssa akeeka. Shin ha77i I hayssan ufayttees, qassi neeni waayettashe de7aasa’ yaagis.
But Abraham replied, ‘My son, remember that you enjoyed the good things of life, while Lazarus had a very poor life. Now he is here being comforted, while you suffer in torment.
26 Ha ubbaafe aadhdhidi, ‘Haappe hintteko, hinippe haa nuukko aadhdhanaw koyeyssati pinnonna mela nuusinne hinttes giddon gita aafoy de7ees’ yaagis.
Apart from that, there's a great gulf that stretches between us and you. Nobody who wants to cross from here to you can do so, and nobody can cross from there over to us.’
27 “Dure uray, ‘Aawaw, yaakko Alaazara ta aawa soo kiittana mela ta nena woossays.
The rich man said, ‘Then Father, I beg you, please send him to my father's house.
28 Taw ichchashu ishati de7idosona, enttika ha waaye bessaa yoonna mela enttaw bidi markkatto’ yaagis.
For I have five brothers and he can warn them so that they don't end up here in this place of torment.’
29 “Shin Abrahamey, ‘Enttaw Museranne nabetara de7oosona; entti odiyabaa si7onna’ yaagis.
But Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the prophets. They should listen to them.’
30 “Dure uray, ‘Aawaw Abrahaame, hessatho gidenna; issi asi hayqoppe denddidi biikko entti maarotan gelana’ yaagis.
‘No, father Abraham,’ said the man. ‘But they would repent if someone went to them from the dead!’
31 “Abrahamey, ‘Musenne nabeta si7onna ixxiko, hari attoshin hayqoppe issi asi denddi odikkoka ammanokkona’ yaagis.”
Abraham said to him, ‘If they won't listen to Moses and the prophets, they won't be convinced even if someone returns from the dead.’”
