Luqaas 12
1 Gidduu sana yommuu tuunni namoota kuma hedduu tokko hamma isaan wal irra ejjetanitti walitti qabametti, Yesuus duraan dursee barattoota isaatiin akkana jechuu jalqabe; “Raacitii Fariisotaa irraa of eeggadhaa; kunis fakkeessitummaa dha.
And when great multitudes stood about him, so that they trod one upon another, he began to say to his disciples: Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
2 Wanni haguugamee utuu hin mulʼifamin hafu yookaan wanni dhokfamee utuu hin beekamin hafu tokko iyyuu hin jiru.
For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed: nor hidden, that shall not be known.
3 Wanni isin dukkana keessatti dubbattan, ifa guyyaatiin dhagaʼama; wanni isin gola keessatti gurratti hasaastanis bantii manaa irraa labsama.
For whatsoever things you have spoken in darkness, shall be published in the light: and that which you have spoken in the ear in the chambers, shall be preached on the housetops.
4 “Yaa michoota ko, ani isinittin hima; warra dhagna ajjeesanii ergasii immoo kana caalaa homaa gochuu hin dandeenye hin sodaatinaa.
And I say to you, my friends: Be not afraid of them who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
5 Ani garuu kan isin sodaachuu qabdan isinittin argisiisa; isa erga ajjeesee booddee gahaannamitti darbachuudhaaf taayitaa qabu sana sodaadhaa; eeyyee, ani isinittin hima; isa sodaadhaa. (Geenna g1067)
But I will shew you whom you shall fear: fear ye him, who after he hath killed, hath power to cast into hell. Yea, I say to you, fear him. (Geenna g1067)
6 Daaloteen shan saantima lamatti gurguramu mitii? Isaan keessaa garuu tokko iyyuu Waaqni hin irraanfatu.
Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?
7 Dhugumaanuu rifeensi mataa keessanii hundi lakkaaʼameera. Hin sodaatinaa; isin daalotee hedduu caalaa gatii qabduutii.
Yea, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: you are of more value than many sparrows.
8 “Ani isinittin hima; nama fuula namootaa duratti ifaan ifatti dhugaa naa baʼu kamiif iyyuu, Ilmi Namaas fuula ergamoota Waaqaa duratti dhugaa ni baʼa.
And I say to you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God.
9 Namni fuula namootaa duratti na ganu kam iyyuu garuu fuula ergamoota Waaqaa duratti ni ganama.
But he that shall deny me before men, shall be denied before the angels of God.
10 Nama Ilma Namaatiin mormee jecha tokko dubbatu hundaaf ni dhiifama; nama Hafuura Qulqulluudhaan mormee dubbatu kamiif iyyuu garuu hin dhiifamu.
And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but to him that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven.
11 “Yommuu manneen sagadaa, bulchitootaa fi abbootii taayitaa duratti dhiʼeeffamtanitti akkamitti akka falmattan yookaan maal akka jettan hin yaaddaʼinaa.
And when they shall bring you into the synagogues, and to magistrates and powers, be not solicitous how or what you shall answer, or what you shall say;
12 Hafuurri Qulqulluun yeruma sana Waan isin jechuu qabdan isin barsiisaatii.”
For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what you must say.
13 Tuuta sana keessaa namichi tokko, “Yaa Barsiisaa, akka obboleessi koo dhaala naa hiruuf maaloo itti naa dubbadhu” jedheen.
And one of the multitude said to him: Master, speak to my brother that he divide the inheritance with me.
14 Yesuus garuu deebisee, “Namana, eenyutu isin gidduutti abbaa murtii yookaan hirtuu dhaalaa na godhe?” jedheen.
But he said to him: Man, who hath appointed me judge, or divider, over you?
15 Innis, “Ilaalladhaa! Doqnummaa hunda irraas of eegaa; jireenyi nama tokkoo baayʼina qabeenya isaatiin hin murteeffamuutii” jedheen.
And he said to them: Take heed and beware of all covetousness; for a man’s life doth not consist in the abundance of things which he possesseth.
16 Innis akkana jedhee fakkeenya kana isaanitti hime; “Lafti qotiisaa namicha sooressa tokkoo midhaan guddaa kenneef.
And he spoke a similitude to them, saying: The land of a certain rich man brought forth plenty of fruits.
17 Namichi sunis, ‘Ani waan lafan itti midhaan koo galfadhu hin qabneef maal gochuu naa wayya?’ jedhee garaa isaatti yaade.
And he thought within himself, saying: What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
18 “Innis akkana jedhe; ‘Wanni ani godhu kana; gombisaa koo diigee guddaa isaa nan ijaarradha; midhaan koo fi miʼa koo hunda achittin kuufadha.
And he said: This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and will build greater; and into them will I gather all things that are grown to me, and my goods.
19 Lubbuu kootiinis, “Yaa lubbuu ko, ati waan gaarii hedduu kan waggaa baayʼeef kuufame qabda; boqodhu; nyaadhu; dhugi; gammadis” nan jedha.’
And I will say to my soul: Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years take thy rest; eat, drink, make good cheer.
20 “Waaqni garuu, ‘Yaa gowwicha, edanuma lubbuu kee sirraa fudhachuu barbaadu; egaa wanni ati walitti qabatte sun kan eenyuu taʼa?’ jedheen.
But God said to him: Thou fool, this night do they require thy soul of thee: and whose shall those things be which thou hast provided?
21 “Kanaafuu namni ofii isaatiif badhaadhummaa kuufatee fuula Waaqaa duratti immoo hin sooromin kam iyyuu akkasuma taʼa.”
So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich towards God.
22 Yesuusis barattoota isaatiin akkana jedhe; “Kanaafuu ani isinittin hima; ‘maal nyaanna?’ jettanii waaʼee jireenya keessanii hin yaaddaʼinaa; yookaan ‘maal uffanna?’ jettanii waaʼee dhagna keessanii hin yaaddaʼinaa.
And he said to his disciples: Therefore I say to you, be not solicitous for your life, what you shall eat; nor for your body, what you shall put on.
23 Jireenyi nyaata caala; dhagnis uffata caalaatii.
The life is more than the meat, and the body is more than the raiment.
24 Mee arraageyyii ilaalaa: Isaan hin facaafatan yookaan hin haammatan; gombisaa yookaan gumbii hin qaban; taʼus Waaqni isaan soora. Isin immoo hammam simbirroota caalaa gatii guddaa qabdu!
Consider the ravens, for they sow not, neither do they reap, neither have they storehouse nor barn, and God feedeth them. How much are you more valuable than they?
25 Isin keessaa namni yaaddaʼuudhaan hojjaa isaa irratti dhundhuma tokko dabalachuu dandaʼu eenyu?
And which of you, by taking thought, can add to his stature one cubit?
26 Yoos isin erga waan xinnoo akkasii illee godhachuu hin dandeenye, maaliif waan biraaf yaaddoftu ree?
If then ye be not able to do so much as the least thing, why are you solicitous for the rest?
27 “Daraaraawwan bosonaa akkamitti akka guddatan mee ilaalaa; isaan hin dhamaʼan yookaan hin foʼan. Ani garuu isinittin hima; Solomoon iyyuu ulfina isaa hunda keessatti, akka tokkoo isaaniitti hin uffanne.
Consider the lilies, how they grow: they labour not, neither do they spin. But I say to you, not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed like one of these.
28 Isin yaa warra amantii xinnoo nana! Waaqni erga marga dirree kan harʼa jiruu fi kan bor immoo ibiddatti naqamutti iyyuu akkasitti uffisee, isinitti immoo hammam kana caalaa haa uffisuu ree.
Now if God clothe in this manner the grass that is today in the field, and tomorrow is cast into the oven; how much more you, O ye of little faith?
29 Qalbii keessan waan nyaattan irra yookaan waan dhugdan irra hin kaaʼatinaa; waaʼee isaas hin yaaddaʼinaa.
And seek not you what you shall eat, or what you shall drink: and be not lifted up on high.
30 Addunyaan ormootaa waan kana hunda ni barbaaduutii; Abbaan keessan akka wanni kun hundinuu isin barbaachisu ni beeka.
For all these things do the nations of the world seek. But your Father knoweth that you have need of these things.
31 Garuu mootummaa isaa barbaadaa; wanni kun akkasuma isiniif kennama.
But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his justice, and all these things shall be added unto you.
32 “Isin karra xinnoo nana, hin sodaatinaa; Abbaan keessan mootummaa isinii kennuu jaallateeraatii.
Fear not, little flock, for it hath pleased your Father to give you a kingdom.
33 Waan qabdan gurguraatii hiyyeeyyiif kennaa. Korojoo hin moofofne, qabeenya dhuma hin qabnes samii irratti, iddoo hattuun itti hin dhiʼaannee fi biliinis hin balleessinetti ofii keessaniif kuufadhaa.
Sell what you possess and give alms. Make to yourselves bags which grow not old, a treasure in heaven which faileth not: where no thief approacheth, nor moth corrupteth.
34 Idduma badhaadhummaan keessan jiru sana garaan keessanis jiraatii.
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
35 “Tajaajilaaf hidhadhaatii qophaaʼaa; ibsaa keessanis ibsadhaa;
Let your loins be girt, and lamps burning in your hands.
36 akkuma namoota yommuu Gooftaan isaanii cidha fuudhaa fi heerumaatii galee balbala dhadhaʼutti dafanii isaaf banuuf jedhanii qophaaʼanii isa eeganii taʼaa.
And you yourselves like to men who wait for their lord, when he shall return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open to him immediately.
37 Garboonni gooftaan isaanii yeroo galutti isaanii dammaqanii jiran argu sun eebbifamoo dha; ani dhuguman isinitti hima; inni marxifatee akka isaan nyaataaf taaʼan ni godha; dhufees isaan tajaajila.
Blessed are those servants, whom the Lord when he cometh, shall find watching. Amen I say to you, that he will gird himself, and make them sit down to meat, and passing will minister unto them.
38 Garboonni gooftaan isaanii halkanicha keessaa kutaa lammaffaatti yookaan kutaa sadaffaatti dhufee akkasuma isaanii dammaqanii jiran isaan argu sun eebbifamoo dha.
And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
39 Garuu waan kana hubadhaa: Abbichi manaa utuu saʼaatii kamitti akka hattuun dhuftu beekee, silaa akka manni isaa cabsamee seenamu itti hin dhiisu ture.
But this know ye, that if the householder did know at what hour the thief would come, he would surely watch, and would not suffer his house to be broken open.
40 Isinis akkasuma qophaaʼuu qabdu; Ilmi Namaa saʼaatii isin hin eegnetti dhufaatii.”
Be you then also ready: for at what hour you think not, the Son of man will come.
41 Phexrosis, “Yaa Gooftaa, ati fakkeenya kana nu qofatti moo nama hundumatti himta?” jedhee gaafate.
And Peter said to him: Lord, dost thou speak this parable to us, or likewise to all?
42 Gooftaanis akkana jedhee deebise; “Egaa hojii adeemsisaan amanamaa fi ogeessi kan gooftaan isaa akka inni nyaata isaanii yeroo malutti isaanii kennuuf jedhee garboota isaa irratti isa muudu eenyu?
And the Lord said: Who (thinkest thou) is the faithful and wise steward, whom his lord setteth over his family, to give them their measure of wheat in due season?
43 Garbichi gooftaan isaa yommuu deebiʼutti utuu inni akkasuma hojjetuu isa argu sun eebbifamaa dha.
Blessed is that servant, whom when his lord shall come, he shall find so doing.
44 Ani dhuguma isinitti nan hima; inni qabeenya isaa hunda irratti isa muuda.
Verily I say to you, he will set him over all that he possesseth.
45 Garbichi sun garuu yoo, ‘Gooftaan koo dhufuuf yeroo dheeraa tura’ ofiin jedhee, garboota dhiiraatii fi dubartootaa tumuu jalqabe, yoo nyaatee dhugee machaaʼe,
But if that servant shall say in his heart: My lord is long a coming; and shall begin to strike the menservants and maidservants, and to eat and to drink and be drunk:
46 gooftaan garbicha sanaa guyyaa inni isa hin eegnee fi saʼaatii inni hin beeknetti ni dhufa. Innis isa kukkuta; warra hin amanne keessattis isa ramada.
The lord of that servant will come in the day that he hopeth not, and at the hour that he knoweth not, and shall separate him, and shall appoint him his portion with unbelievers.
47 “Garbichi utuu fedhii gooftaa isaa beekuu hin qophoofne yookaan waan gooftaan isaa barbaadu hin hojjenne sun akka malee tumama.
And that servant who knew the will of his lord, and prepared not himself, and did not according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.
48 Nama utuu hin beekin waan isa adabamsiisu hojjete garuu adaba salphaatu isa irra gaʼa. Nama wanni baayʼeen itti kenname hunda irraa waan baayʼeetu eegama; nama imaanaan guddaan itti kenname irraa immoo kan caalutu barbaadama.
But he that knew not, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. And unto whomsoever much is given, of him much shall be required: and to whom they have committed much, of him they will demand the more.
49 “Ani ibidda lafa irra buusuufin dhufe; utuu inni ammuma iyyuu qabatee ani akkam hawwa!
I am come to cast fire on the earth; and what will I, but that it be kindled?
50 Garuu cuuphaa ani cuuphamu tokkotu jira; hamma inni raawwatamutti ani akka malee nan dhiphadha!
And I have a baptism wherewith I am to be baptized: and how am I straitened until it be accomplished?
51 Isin waan ani lafa irratti nagaa buusuuf dhufe seetuu? Akkas miti; ani isinittin hima; ani gargar baʼuu fiduufan dhufe malee nagaa buusuuf hin dhufne.
Think ye, that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, no; but separation.
52 Siʼachi maatiin nama shan qabu tokko gargar qoodama; namni sadii nama lamatti kaʼa; namni lama immoo nama sadiitti kaʼa.
For there shall be from henceforth five in one house divided: three against two, and two against three.
53 Abbaan ilmatti, ilmi abbaatti, haati intalatti, intalli haadhatti, amaatiin niitii ilmaatti, niitiin ilmaas amaatii isheetti kaʼuudhaan gargar baʼu.”
The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against his father, the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother, the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
54 Yesuusis tuuta sanaan akkana jedhe; “Isin yommuu duumessa karaa lixa biiftuutiin ol baʼu argitanitti yeruma sana, ‘Bokkaan ni rooba’ jettu; innis ni rooba.
And he said also to the multitudes: When you see a cloud rising from the west, presently you say: A shower is coming: and so it happeneth:
55 Yommuu bubbeen kibbaa bubbisutti immoo, ‘Ni hoʼa’ jettu; innis ni hoʼa.
And when ye see the south wind blow, you say: There will be heat: and it cometh to pass.
56 Fakkeessitoota nana! Isin bifa lafaatii fi samiitiif hiikkaa kennuu ni beektu. Bara ammaa kanaaf immoo hiikkaa kennuu akkamitti wallaaltu?
You hypocrites, you know how to discern the face of the heaven and of the earth: but how is it that you do not discern this time?
57 “Isin maaliif ofuma keessanii waan qajeelaa hin murteessine?
And why even of yourselves, do you not judge that which is just?
58 Ati yommuu amajaajii kee wajjin gara abbaa murtii dhaqxutti, karuma irratti isaan walitti araaramuu cimsii yaali; yoo kanaa achii amajaajiin kee abbaa seeraatti si geessa; abbaan seeraas dabarsee poolisiitti si kenna; poolisiin immoo mana hidhaatti si darbata.
And when thou goest with thy adversary to the prince, whilst thou art in the way, endeavour to be delivered from him: lest perhaps he draw thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the exacter, and the exacter cast thee into prison.
59 Ani sitti nan hima; ati hamma saantima ishee dhumaa of irraa baaftutti achii hin baatu.”
I say to thee, thou shalt not go out thence, until thou pay the very last mite.
