Luqaas 13
1 Yeroo sana namoonni waaʼee warra Galiilaa kanneen Phiilaaxoos dhiiga isaanii aarsaa isaaniitti make sanaa Yesuusitti himan tokko tokko achi turan.
Just at that time people came to tell Him about the Galilaeans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
2 Yesuusis deebisee akkana jedheen; “Sababiin namoonni Galiilaa kunneen akkas dhiphataniif waan isaan saba Galiilaa kaan hunda irra cubbamoota turaniif seetuu?
"Do you suppose," He asked in reply, "that those Galilaeans were worse sinners than the mass of the Galilaeans, because this happened to them?
3 Ani isinittin hima; akkas miti; garuu isinis qalbii jijjiirrachuu baannaan hundi keessan akkasuma baddu.
I tell you, certainly not. On the contrary, if you are not penitent you will all perish as they did.
4 Yookaan namoonni kudha saddeettan gamoon Saliihoom isaan irratti jigee isaan fixe sun warra Yerusaalem keessa jiraatan kaan hunda irra waan yakka hojjetan seetuu?
Or those eighteen on whom the tower at Siloam fell, do you suppose they had failed in their duty more than all the rest of the people who live in Jerusalem?
5 Ani isinittin hima; akkas miti. Garuu isinis qalbii jijjiirrachuu baannaan, hundi keessan akkasuma baddu.”
I tell you, certainly not. On the contrary, if you do not repent you will all perish just as they did."
6 Innis akkana jedhee fakkeenya kana dubbate; “Namichi tokko muka harbuu kan iddoo dhaabaa wayinii isaa keessa dhaabame tokko qaba ture; innis muka sana irra ija barbaaduu dhaqee waan tokko illee dhabe.
And He gave them the following parable. "A man," He said, "who had a fig-tree growing in his garden came to look for fruit on it and could find none.
7 Innis hojjetaa iddoo dhaaba wayinichaatiin, ‘Ani waggaa sadan darban kana muka harbuu kana irraa ija barbaadachuuf jedhee marmaaraan ture; garuu waan tokko illee irraa hin arganne; muriitii gati! Inni maaliif lafa balleessa?’ jedhe.
So he said to the gardener, "'See, this is the third year I have come to look for fruit on this fig-tree and cannot find any. Cut it down. Why should so much ground be actually wasted?'
8 “Namichi sunis deebisee akkana jedheen; ‘Yaa Gooftaa, anuu naannoo isaa qoteen xaaʼoo itti naqaatii mee wagguma tokko haa turu.
"But the gardener pleaded, "'Leave it, Sir, this year also, till I have dug round it and manured it.
9 Yoo inni waggaa dhufu ija naqate, gaarii dha! Yoo kanaa achii murtee gatuu dandeessa.’”
If after that it bears fruit, well and good; if it does not, then you shall cut it down.'"
10 Yesuus guyyaa Sanbataa tokko manneen sagadaa keessaa isa tokkotti barsiisaa ture.
Once He was teaching on the Sabbath in one of the synagogues
11 Dubartiin hafuurri hamaan waggaa kudha saddeeti dugda ishee goophesse tokkos achi turte; isheenis waan gad gogdeef gonkumaa ol jechuu hin dandeessu turte.
where a woman was present who for eighteen years had been a confirmed invalid: she was bent double, and was unable to lift herself to her full height.
12 Yesuusis yommuu ishee argetti ofitti ishee waamee, “Dubartii nana, ati dhukkuba kee irraa fayyiteerta” jedheen,
But Jesus saw her, and calling to her, He said to her, "Woman, you are free from your weakness."
13 Innis harka isaa ishee irra kaaʼe; isheenis yeruma sana ol jettee Waaqa galateeffatte.
And He put His hands on her, and she immediately stood upright and began to give glory to God.
14 Bulchaan mana sagadaas sababii Yesuus guyyaa Sanbataatiin nama fayyiseef aaree namootaan, “Guyyaan hojii jaʼatu jira; guyyoota sana kottaatii fayyifamaa malee guyyaa Sanbataa hin dhufinaa” jedhe.
Then the Warden of the Synagogue, indignant that Jesus had cured her on a Sabbath, said to the crowd, "There are six days in the week on which people ought to work. On those days therefore come and get yourselves cured, and not on the Sabbath day."
15 Gooftaan immoo akkana jedhee deebiseef; “Yaa fakkeessitoota! Isin keessaa namni guyyaa Sanbataa qotiyyoo isaa yookaan harree isaa dallaa keessaa hiikee bishaan obaasuu hin geessine jiraa?
But the Lord's reply to him was, "Hypocrites, does not each of you on the Sabbath untie his bullock or his ass from the stall and lead him to water?
16 Yoos dubartiin kun intalli Abrahaam kan Seexanni waggaa kudha saddeeti guutuu hidhee ture kun guyyaa Sanbataatiin hidhaa kana irraa hiikamuun isheef hin maluu?”
And this woman, daughter of Abraham as she is, whom Satan had bound for no less than eighteen years, was she not to be loosed from this chain because it is the Sabbath day?"
17 Yommuu inni waan kana dubbatetti mormitoonni isaa hundi ni qaanaʼan; namoonni garuu hojjiiwwan dinqii kanneen inni hojjechaa ture hundatti ni gammadan.
When He had said this, all His opponents were ashamed, while the whole multitude was delighted at the many glorious things continually done by Him.
18 Yesuusis akkana jedhee gaafate; “Mootummaan Waaqaa maal fakkaata? Anis maaliinan wal isa fakkeessa?
This prompted Him to say, "What is the Kingdom of God like? and to what shall I compare it?
19 Mootummaan Waaqaa sanyii sanaaficaa kan namni tokko fuudhee lafa qotiisaa isaa keessatti facaase fakkaata. Sanyiin sunis guddatee muka taʼe; simbirroonnis dameewwan isaa irra jiraatan.”
It is like a mustard seed which a man drops into the soil in his garden, and it grows and becomes a tree in whose branches the birds roost."
20 Amma illee akkana jedhee gaafate; “Ani mootummaa Waaqaa maaliinan wal fakkeessa?
And again He said, "To what shall I compare the Kingdom of God?
21 Inni raacitii dubartiin tokko fuutee hamma inni guutummaatti bukeessutti daakuu safartuu sadiitti makte fakkaata.”
It is like yeast which a woman takes and buries in a bushel of flour, to work there till the whole is leavened."
22 Yesuusis utuu gara Yerusaalem deemuu namoota barsiisaa magaalaawwanii fi gandoota keessa darbaa ture.
He was passing through town after town and village after village, steadily proceeding towards Jerusalem,
23 Namichi tokkos, “Yaa Gooftaa warri fayyifaman namoota muraasa qofaa?” jedhee isa gaafate. Innis akkana isaaniin jedhe;
when some one asked Him, "Sir, are there but few who are to be saved?"
24 “Balbala dhiphaadhaan seenuuf tattaaffadhaa; ani isinittin hima; namoonni baayʼeen seenuu ni yaaluutii; garuu hin dandaʼan.
"Strain every nerve to force your way in through the narrow gate," He answered; "for multitudes, I tell you, will endeavour to find a way in and will not succeed.
25 Abbaan mana sanaa takkaa kaʼee balbalicha cufannaan isin ala dhaabatanii balbala rurrukutaa, ‘Yaa Gooftaa balbala nuu bani’ jettanii kadhattu. “Inni garuu deebisee, ‘Ani isin hin beeku yookaan eessaa akka dhuftan hin beeku’ isiniin jedha.
As soon as the Master of the house shall have risen and shut the door, and you have begun to stand outside and knock at the door and say, "'Sir, open the door for us' --"'I do not know you,' He answers; 'you are no friends of mine.'
26 “Isin immoo, ‘Nu si wajjin nyaannee dhugneerra; atis daandii keenya irratti barsiifteerta’ jettuun.
"Then you will plead, "'We have eaten and drunk in your company and you have taught in our streets.'
27 “Inni garuu deebisee, ‘Ani isin hin beeku yookaan eessaa akka dhuftan hin beeku. Isin warri hammina hojjettan hundinuu na biraa badaa!’ jedha.
"But He will reply, "'I tell you that you are no friends of mine. Begone from me, all of you, wrongdoers that you are.'
28 “Yommuu Abrahaam, Yisihaaq, Yaaqoobii fi raajota hunda mootummaa Waaqaa keessatti argitanii, ofii keessanii immoo gad darbatamtan, achitti booʼuu fi ilkaan qaruutu taʼa.
"There will be the weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the Prophets in the Kingdom of God, and yourselves being driven far away.
29 Namoonnis baʼa biiftuutii fi lixa biiftuutii, kaabaa fi kibbaa dhufanii mootummaa Waaqaa keessatti maaddiitti ni dhiʼaatu.
They will come from east and west, from north and south, and will sit down at the banquet in the Kingdom of God.
30 Dhugumaanuu kanneen warra dhumaa taʼan keessaa kanneen warra jalqabaa, kanneen warra jalqabaa taʼan keessaa immoo warra dhumaa taʼan jiru.”
And I tell you that some now last will then be first, and some now first will then be last."
31 Yeroo sana Fariisota keessaa namoonni tokko tokko gara Yesuus dhufanii, “Sababii Heroodis si ajjeesuu barbaaduuf asii deemii iddoo biraa dhaqi” jedhaniin.
Just at that time there came some Pharisees who warned Him, saying, "Leave this place and continue your journey; Herod means to kill you."
32 Innis akkana jedhee deebise; “Dhaqaatii waangoo sanaan, ‘Kunoo, ani harʼaa fi bori hafuurota hamoo nan baasa; namoota dhukkubsatanis nan fayyisa; guyyaa sadaffaatti immoo hojii koo nan fixadha’ jedhaa.
"Go," He replied, "and take this message to that fox: "'See, to-day and to-morrow I am driving out demons and effecting cures, and on the third day I finish my course.'
33 Waan fedhe iyyuu taanaan, ani harʼaa fi bori, iftaanis adeemsa koo itti fufuutu naa mala; raajiin Yerusaalemiin alatti duʼuu hin qabuutii!
"Yet I must continue my journey to-day and to-morrow and the day following; for it is not conceivable that a Prophet should perish outside of Jerusalem.
34 “Yaa Yerusaalem, yaa Yerusaalem, ati kan raajota ajjeeftu, warra gara keetti ergamanis kan dhagaadhaan tumtu, akkuma indaanqoon cuucii ishee qoochoo ishee jalatti walitti qabattu sana anis ijoollee kee walitti qabuuf yeroo meeqan hawwe! Isin garuu hin barbaanne.
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou who murderest the Prophets and stonest those who have been sent to thee, how often have I desired to gather thy children just as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you would not come!
35 Kunoo, manni keessan onee isinii hafa. Ani isinittin hima; isin hamma, ‘Inni maqaa Gooftaatiin dhufu sun eebbifamaa dha’jettanitti lammata na hin argitan.”
See, your house is left to you. But I tell you that you will never see me again until you say, 'Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!'"
