Luuqaasa 18
1 Yesuusi ba tamaareta azalonna ubba wode woossana mela tamaarssanaw koyidi yaagidi leemiso odis.
And he spoke also a parable to them, that we ought always to pray, and not to faint,
2 “Issi kataman Xoossaas yashettonna asaskka yeellatonna issi daynni de7ees
Saying: There was a judge in a certain city, who feared not God, nor regarded man.
3 He kataman issi am77iya da7awusu. Iyakka, ‘Tawunne ta morkkiyas giddon de7iya mootuwa pirdda’ yaagada ubba wode he daynnaako simerettawusu.
And there was a certain widow in that city, and she came to him, saying: Avenge me of my adversary.
4 Daynnay guutha wodes I odaa si7onna ixxis, shin guyeppe ba wozanan, ‘Taani Xoossaas yayyonna, asas yeellatonna ixxikokka,
And he would not for a long time. But afterwards he said within himself: Although I fear not God, nor regard man,
5 ha am77iya tana waaysiya gisho iw pirddana; yaatonna ixxiko ubba wode yada tana salethana’ yaagidi qoppis” yaagis.
Yet because this widow is troublesome to me, I will avenge her, lest continually coming she weary me.
6 Godaykka, “Geella daynnay gidayssa si7ideta
And the Lord said: Hear what the unjust judge saith.
7 Xoossay qammanne gallas iyaakko waassiya ba dooridayssatas pirddeneyye? Enttana maaddanaw gam77iyye?
And will not God revenge his elect who cry to him day and night: and will he have patience in their regard?
8 Ta hinttew odeyssa si7ite, ellesidi pirddana. Gidoshin, Asa Na7ay yaa wode sa7a bolla ammano demmanddeshsha?” yaagis.
I say to you, that he will quickly revenge them. But yet the Son of man, when he cometh, shall he find, think you, faith on earth?
9 Qassi zaaridi, Yesuusi, banttana xillo asada oothidi ceeqetteyssatasinne harata kadheyssatas hayssada yaagidi leemiso odis.
And to some who trusted in themselves as just, and despised others, he spoke also this parable:
10 “Nam77u asati woossanaw Xoossa Keethi bidosona. Issoy Farisaawe hankkoy qassi qaraxa qanxisiya asi.
Two men went up into the temple to pray: the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
11 Farisaawey eqqidi baw woossishe, ‘Xoossaw taani harata mela bonqanchcho, geellanne laymatiya asi, aadhdhida qassi ha qaraxa qanxisiya uraa mela gidonna gisho nena galatays.
The Pharisee standing, prayed thus with himself: O God, I give thee thanks that I am not as the rest of men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, as also is this publican.
12 Saaminttafe nam77u toho xoomays, ta demmiyaba ubbaafe asiraata kessays’ yaagis.
I fast twice in a week: I give tithes of all that I possess.
13 “Shin qaraxa qanxiseyssi qassi haahon eqqidi hari attoshin salo dhoqqu gidi xeellanawukka yayyidi ba tiraa iccishe ‘Xoossaw, tana nagaranchchuwa maararkii’ gidi woossis.
And the publican, standing afar off, would not so much as lift up his eyes towards heaven; but struck his breast, saying: O god, be merciful to me a sinner.
14 Ta hinttew odeyssa si7ite; Farisaawiyappe hayssi qaraxa qanxiseyssi Xoossaa sinthan xillo gididi ba soo simmis. Ays giikko, bana dhoqqu dhoqqu oothiya asi kawuyana, bana kawushshiya asi dhoqqu dhoqqu gaana” yaagis.
I say to you, this man went down into his house justified rather that the other: because every one that exalteth himself, shall be humbled: and he that humbleth himself, shall be exalted.
15 Yesuusi yooga nayta bolla ba kushiya wothidi anjjana mela asay iyaakko ehoosona. Yesuusa tamaareti hessa be7idi ays Yesuusakko eheeti yaagidi kaccidosona.
And they brought unto him also infants, that he might touch them. Which when the disciples saw, they rebuked them.
16 Shin Yesuusi nayta baakko xeegidi, “Yooga nayti taakko yaanayssa diggofite; yo giite. Ays giikko, Xoossaa kawotethay enttada hanidayssatassa.
But Jesus, calling them together, said: Suffer children to come to me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
17 Taani hinttew tuma odays; Xoossaa kawotethaa yooga naytatho ekkonnay oonikka yaa gelenna” yaagis.
Amen, I say to you: Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a child, shall not enter into it.
18 Ayhude halaqatappe issoy, “Keeha asttamaariyaw, merinaa de7uwa demmanaw ay ootho?” yaagidi oychchis. (aiōnios g166)
And a certain ruler asked him, saying: Good master, what shall I do to possess everlasting life? (aiōnios g166)
19 Yesuusi iyaakko, “Ays tana keehaw yaagada xeegay? Issi Xoossaafe attin hari keehi baawa.
And Jesus said to him: Why dost thou call me good? None is good but God alone.
20 Laammofa, wodhoppa, kaysotoppa, worddo markkattofa, ne aawanne ne aayiw bonchcha yaagiya kiitaa eray” yaagidi oychchis.
Thou knowest the commandments: Thou shalt not kill: Thou shalt not commit adultery: Thou shalt not steal: Thou shalt not bear false witness: Honour thy father and mother.
21 Uraykka, “Hessata ubbaa taani na7atethafe doomada naagashe gam77as” yaagis.
Who said: All these things have I kept from my youth.
22 Yesuusi hessa si7ida wode, “Hiza, new issibay paccees; new de7iyaba ubbaa bayzada manqotas imma; salon nena shaloy naagees. Yaata simmada tana kaalla” yaagis.
Which when Jesus had heard, he said to him: Yet one thing is wanting to thee: sell all whatever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
23 Shin uray hessa si7ida wode iyaw daro shaloy de7iya gisho daro qiirottis.
He having heard these things, became sorrowful; for he was very rich.
24 Yesuusi uraa be7idi, “Dure asas Xoossaa kawotethaa geloy waanidi un77anddeshsha?
And Jesus seeing him become sorrowful, said: How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God.
25 Durey Xoossaa kawotethaa gelanayssafe gimaley narppe luhora kantheyssi kawuyees” yaagis.
For it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
26 Hessa si7ida asay, “Hessa gidikko ooni attanee?” yaagidosona.
And they that heard it, said: Who then can be saved?
27 Yesuusi, “Asas dandda7ettonabay Xoossaas dandda7ettees” yaagis.
He said to them: The things that are impossible with men, are possible with God.
28 Phexiroosi, “Hekko nuuni nubaa ubbaa aggidi nena kaallida” yaagis.
Then Peter said: Behold, we have left all things, and have followed thee.
29 “Yesuusi tuma ta hinttew odays; Xoossaa kawotethaas gidi ba keethaa woykko ba machchiw woykko ba ishata woykko ba aawanne ba aayiw woykko ba nayta aggiday;
Who said to them: Amen, I say to you, there is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God’s sake,
31 Yesuusi tammanne nam77ata baakko xeegidi, “Ane Yerusalaame boos, nabeti Asa Na7aabaa xaafidaba ubbay yan polettana.
Then Jesus took unto him the twelve, and said to them: Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things shall be accomplished which were written by the prophets concerning the Son of man.
32 I Ayhude gidonna asaas aadhdhidi imettana. Entti iya toochchana, cayananne iya bolla cuttana.
For he shall be delivered to the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and scourged, and spit upon:
33 Iya garaafidaappe guye, wodhana, shin heedzantho gallasan I hayqoppe denddana” yaagis.
And after they have scourged him, they will put him to death; and the third day he shall rise again.
34 Shin iya tamaareti hessa ubbaafe issibaakka akeekibookkona. Iya xuuray enttaw qosettida gisho I woygidaakko eribookkona.
And they understood none of these things, and this word was hid from them, and they understood not the things that were said.
35 Yesuusi Iyaarkko matattiya wode issi qooqe uray oge gaxan uttidi woossees.
Now it came to pass, when he drew nigh to Jericho, that a certain blind man sat by the way side, begging.
36 Qooqe uray asay he bessaara aadhdhishin si7idi, “I aybe?” gidi oychchis.
And when he heard the multitude passing by, he asked what this meant.
37 Entti, “Naazirete Yesuusi hayssara aadhdhees” yaagidosona.
And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
38 I, “Dawite na7aw, Yesuusa, tana maararkii” yaagidi waassis.
And he cried out, saying: Jesus, son of David, have mercy on me.
39 Sinthe sinthe biya asati, “Si7i ga” gidi hanqettidosona. Shin I, “Dawite na7aw, tana maara” yaagidi darssi waassis.
And they that went before, rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried out much more: Son of David, have mercy on me.
40 Yesuusi eqqidi uraa baakko ehana mela kiittis. Uraykka, iyaakko shiiqin,
And Jesus standing, commanded him to be brought unto him. And when he was come near, he asked him,
41 “Ta new ay oothana mela koyay?” yaagidi oychchis. Qooqey, “Godaw ta xeellanaw koyays” yaagis.
Saying: What wilt thou that I do to thee? But he said: Lord, that I may see.
42 Yesuusi, “Xeella, ne ammanoy nena pathis” yaagis.
And Jesus said to him: Receive thy sight: thy faith hath made thee whole.
43 Uray sohuwara xeelli aggis. Xoossaa bonchchishe Yesuusa kaallis. Asa ubbay hessa be7idi Xoossaa galatidosona.
And immediately he saw, and followed him, glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.
