Maatoosa 18
1 He wode Yesuusa tamaareti yidi, “Salo kawotethan ubbaafe aadhdhey oonee?” yaagidi oychchidosona.
At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
2 Yesuusi issi guutha na7a xeegidi entta giddon essidi hayssada yaagis.
And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,
3 “Taani hinttew tuma odays; hintte laamettonanne guutha naytada hanonna ixxiko salo kawotethaa ubbarakka gelanaw dandda7ekketa.
And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
4 Hiza, ha guutha na7aada bana kawushshiya oonikka salo kawotethan ubbaafe aadhdheyssa gidana.
Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
5 Hayssa mela na7a ta sunthan mokkiya oonikka tana mokkees.
And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.
6 “Shin tanan ammaniyaa ha guuthatappe issuwa naagara oothana mela dhube gidiya oonikka gita gaachcha woxa ba qodhen qachchidi ciimmo abban mitettiko iyaw lo77o.
But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and [that] he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
7 Alamen asay nagara oothana mela oothiyabati de7iya gisho alamiya ayye. Hessa melabati yoonna attenna, shin dhubey iya gaason yaa uraa ayye.
Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!
8 “Ne kushey woykko ne tohoy nena balethikko neeppe qanxa yegga. Neeni nam77u kushera woykko nam77u tohora merinaa taman yeggettanayssafe kushe woykko toho duuxa gidada merinaa de7o demmeyssi new lo77o. (aiōnios g166)
Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast [them] from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire. (aiōnios g166)
9 Qassi ne ayfey nena balethikko iyo wooca kessada wora hola. Neeni nam77u ayfera gaanname taman yeggetteyssafe issi ayfera merinaa de7uwa geleyssi new lo77o. (Geenna g1067)
And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast [it] from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire. (Geenna g1067)
10 “Ta hinttew odays; salon de7iya entta naagiya kiitanchchoti ubba wode salon de7iya ta Aawa sinthan de7iya gisho, hintte ha guuthatappe issuwaka kadhonna mela naagettite.
Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.
11 Asa Na7ay dhaydayssata ashshanaw yis” yaagis.
For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.
12 Qassi Yesuusi, “Hinttew ay daanii? Issi uraas xeetu dorssati de7eyssatappe issoy dhayikko uddufun tammanne uddufunata deriya bolla yeggi aggidi he dhayidayssa koyanaw beenne?
How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray?
13 Ta tuma odays; I demmida wode uddufun tammanne uddufunatappe aathidi dhayidi benttida issi dorssan ufayttees.
And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that [sheep], than of the ninety and nine which went not astray.
14 Hessadakka, salon de7iya hintte aaway ha guuthatappe issoy dhayana mela koyenna.
Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.
15 “Ne ishay nena qohikko nerkka iyaakko bada iya balaa iyaw oda. I nena si7ikko ne ishaa new isha ootha.
Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.
16 Shin I nena si7onna ixxiko, nam77u woykko heedzu asa markkan mootoy lasettiya gisho, issi woykko nam77u asi ekkada iyaakko ba.
But if he will not hear [thee, then] take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
17 I enttana si7onna ixxiko, woosa keethas oda. Woosa keethi giyabaa si7onna ixxiko ammanonna asada woykko qaraxa qanxisiya asada iya payda.
And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell [it] unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.
18 “Ta hinttew tuma odays; sa7an hintte diggiyabati ubbay salon Xoossaa matan digettidaba gidana. Sa7an hintte hano giyabati ubbay salon Xoossaa matan hanidabaa gidana.
Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
19 “Qassika ta hinttew odays; sa7an hinttefe nam77ay bantta woossiyabas issi wozanan gididi Xoossaa woossiyabaa gidikko salon de7iya ta Aaway hinttew oothana.
Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.
20 Tana kaalleyssatappe nam77a woykko heedza gididi shiiqiya bessan taani entta giddon benttana” yaagis.
For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
21 He wode Phexiroosi Yesuusakko yidi, “Godaw, ta ishay tana qohikko aappun toho taani atto gaanaw bessii? Laappun toho gakkanaaseyye?” gidi oychchis.
Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
22 Yesuusi zaaridi, “Gidenna, laappun tammu toho laappunappe attin laappun toho gidenna.
Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
23 “Hessa gisho, Xoossaa kawotethay ba oosanchchotara ba miishey paccidaakkonne palahidaakko be7anaw qoppida kawuwa daanees.
Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants.
24 He kawoy miishey paccidaakkonne palahidaakko be7iya wode daro ginddigindda acoy de7iya issi uraa iyaakko ehidosona.
And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents.
25 Shin he aylley acuwa qanxanaw xoonettin iyara, iya machcheera, iya naytinne iyaw de7iyabay ubbay bayzettidi acoy cigettana mela iya goday kiittis.
But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
26 Yaatin aylley ba godaa tohuwa bolla gulbbatidi, ‘Ta godaw, hayyana guutha wode takkarkki, ta acuwa ubbaa ta ciggana’ yaagidi woossis.
The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
27 Kawoy iyaw qadhettidi, yeddi aggis; iya acuwa maaris.
Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.
28 “Shin he aylley keyi bidi ba lagge oosanchchotappe issoy baappe daro guutha miishe tal77idayssa, ‘Ne bolla de7iya ta miishiya taw cigga’ gidi qoodhe oykkis.
But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.
29 “He iya lagge aylliya iya sinthan gulbbatidi, ‘Hayyana guutha wode takkarkki taani ta acuwa ubbaa ciggana’ yaagidi woossis.
And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
30 “Shin ixxidi ekki efidi ba laggey acuwa qanxana gakkanaw qasho keethi gelssis.
And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.
31 Hessa gisho, hara lagge oosanchchoti hessa be7ida wode daro yilotidi, bidi bantta godaas I oothidabaa ubbaa odidosona.
So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.
32 “Yaatin kawoy he aylliya xeegisidi, ‘Ha iita aylliyaw, neeni tana woossida gisho, ta ne acuwa ubbaa new maaras.
Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me:
33 Yaatin, taani ne acuwa maaridayssada neeni ne lagge aylliya acuwa maaranaw new bessennee?’ yaagis.
Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?
34 Hessa gisho, kawoy daro yilotidi, I ba acuwa ubbaa ciggana gakkanaw paxa kaa7ettana mela qasho keethan yeggis.
And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.
35 “Hessadakka, hintte issoy issoy hintte ishaa wozanappe maaronna ixxiko salon de7iya ta Aaway hinttena hessada oothana” yaagis.
So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.
