Luqaas 14
1 Guyyaa Sanbataa tokko yommuu Yesuus buddeena nyaachuuf mana Fariisicha beekamaa tokkoo dhaqetti, namoonni xiyyeeffatanii isa ilaalaa turan.
And it came to pass, that he went, on the sabbath-day, into the house of one of the chief men of the Pharisees, to eat bread; and they watched him.
2 Namichi dhagni isaa dhiitaʼe tokkos fuula isaa dura ture.
And behold, there was a man before him, who had the dropsy.
3 Yesuusis, “Guyyaa Sanbataatiin nama fayyisuun ni eeyyamama moo hin eeyyamamu?” jedhee Fariisotaa fi hayyoota seeraa gaafate.
And Jesus answered and spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying: Is it lawful to cure on the sabbath-day?
4 Isaan garuu ni calʼisan; innis namicha harkaan qaqqabee fayyisee gad isa lakkise.
But they were silent. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go.
5 Innis, “Isin keessaa namni tokko yoo ilma yookaan qotiyyoo guyyaa Sanbataatiin boolla keessa buʼe qabaate, inni yeruma sana harkisee boolla keessaa hin baasuu?” jedhee isaan gaafate.
And he answered and said to them: Which of you, if his son or his ox should fall into a pit, would not immediately pull him out on the sabbath-day?
6 Isaan garuu deebii kennuu hin dandeenye.
And they were not able to give him an answer to these things.
7 Innis yommuu akka keessumoonni sun iddoo ulfinaa filatan hubatetti akkana jedhee fakkeenya kana isaanitti hime;
And he spoke a parable to those who had been invited, when he observed how they were choosing the first places at table; and he said to them:
8 “Yoo namni tokko cidha fuudhaa fi heerumaatti si waame, iddoo ulfinaa hin taaʼin; tarii namni si caalaa ulfina qabu tokko waamameera taʼaatii.
When you are invited by any one to a wedding, do not recline in the first place, lest a more honorable man than you may have been invited by him;
9 Namichi isin lamaanuu waame sun dhufee, ‘Namicha kanaaf kaʼi’ siin jedha; atis qaanoftee dhaqxee lafa iddoo hundumaa gad taʼe teessa.
and he that invited you and him, come and say to you, Give place to this man; and then you shall begin with shame to take the last place.
10 Ati garuu yommuu waamamtu akka namichi si waame sun yeroo dhufutti, ‘Yaa michuu koo iddoo ol aanutti hiiqi’ siin jedhuuf dhaqii lafa iddoo hundumaa gad taʼe taaʼi; yoos fuula warra si wajjin maaddiitti dhiʼaatan hundumaa duratti ulfina argattaatii.
But when you are invited, go and recline in the last place, that when he that invited you shall come, he may say to you, Friend, go up higher. Then you shall have honor in the presence of those who recline with you.
11 Namni ol of qabu hundinuu gad qabamaatii; namni gad of qabu hundinuu immoo ol qabama.”
For every one that exalts himself shall be humbled; and he that humbles himself shall be exalted.
12 Yesuusis namicha isa waame sanaan akkana jedhe; “Ati yommuu laaqana yookaan irbaata qopheessitu michoota kee yookaan obboloota kee, yookaan firoota kee, yookaan olloota kee warra sooreyyii hin waamin; yoo akkas goote isaanis deebisanii si waamu; gatiin kees siif deebifama.
Then he said also to him that had invited him: When you make a dinner or a supper, call not your friends, nor your brothers, nor your relatives, nor your rich neighbors, lest they also invite you in return, and a recompense be made you.
13 Garuu yommuu cidha qopheessitu hiyyeeyyii, naafa, okkolaa fi jaamaa waami.
But when you make a feast, invite the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind;
14 Sababii isaan waan siif deebisan hin qabneef ati ni eebbifamta; gatiin kee guyyaa duʼaa kaʼuu qajeeltotaatti siif deebifamaatii.”
and you shall be blessed; for they have no power to repay you; but you shall be repaid at the resurrection of the just.
15 Warra isa wajjin maaddiitti dhiʼaatan keessaa namichi tokko yommuu waan kana dhagaʼetti Yesuusiin, “Namni mootummaa Waaqaa keessatti maaddiitti dhiʼaatu eebbifamaa dha” jedhe.
And a certain one of those who reclined at table with him, after hearing these things, said to him: Blessed is he who shall cat bread in the kingdom of God.
16 Yesuus immoo akkana jedhee deebise; “Namichi tokko cidha guddaa qopheessee keessumoota hedduu affeere.
And he said to him: A certain man made a great supper, and invited many.
17 Namichi sunis saʼaatii nyaataatti akka inni, ‘Kunoo, wanni hundinuu qopheeffameeraatii kottaa’ jedhee warra affeeraman sanatti himuuf garbicha isaa erge.
And he sent his servant at the hour of supper, to say to those who had been invited, Come, for all things are now ready.
18 “Garuu isaan hundi bifuma tokkoon sababa dhiʼeeffachuu jalqaban; inni jalqabaa, ‘Ani lafa qotiisaa bitadheera; kanaafuu dhaqeen ilaaluu qabaatii maaloo na hin komatin’ jedheen.
And they all, with one consent, began to make excuse. The first said to him, I have bought a farm, and I must go and see it; I pray you, have me excused.
19 “Inni kaan, ‘Ani qotiyyoo cimdii shan bitadheera; isaan leenjisuuf deemuuttin jiraatii, maaloo na hin komatin’ jedheen.
And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to try them; I pray you, have me excused.
20 “Amma illee inni kaan, ‘Ani dhiʼoon niitii fuudhe; kanaafuu dhufuu hin dandaʼu’ jedheen.
And another said, I have married a wife, and, for this reason, I can not come.
21 “Garbichi sunis deebiʼee waan kana gooftaa isaatti hime. Abbaan mana sanaas aaree, ‘Dafii karaa guddaa fi daandii qalʼaa magaalaatti achi baʼiitii hiyyeeyyii, naafa, jaamaa fi okkolaa fidii ol seensis’ jedhee garbicha isaa ajaje.
And that servant came and told his lord these things. Then the master of the house was angry, and said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor and the maimed, the lame and the blind.
22 “Garbichi sunis, ‘Yaa gooftaa, wanni ati ajajje hundi raawwateera; garuu amma illee iddoon jira’ jedheen.
And the servant said, Lord, it is done as you commanded, and yet there is room.
23 “Gooftichis garbicha isaatiin akkana jedhe; ‘Akka manni koo guutamuuf karaa guddaa fi daandii baadiyyaatti achi baʼiitii akka isaan ol galan dirqisiisi.
And the lord said to his servant, Go out into the roads, and among the hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be full.
24 Ani isinittin hima; namoota waamaman sana keessaa namni tokko iyyuu maaddii koo irraa afaaniin hin qabu.’”
For I say to you, that not one of those men who have been invited, shall taste of my supper.
25 Namoonni baayʼeen Yesuus wajjin deemaa turan; innis garagalee akkana isaaniin jedhe;
And many multitudes were journeying with him; and he turned and said to them:
26 “Namni gara koo dhufu kam iyyuu yoo abbaa isaatii fi haadha isaa, niitii isaatii fi ijoollee isaa, obboloota isaatii fi obboleettota isaa akkasumas lubbuu isaa illee hin jibbine inni barataa koo taʼuu hin dandaʼu.
If any one comes to me, and hates not his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, and his own life also, he can not be my disciple.
27 Namni fannoo ofii isaa baadhatee na duukaa hin buune kam iyyuus barataa koo taʼuu hin dandaʼu.
And whoever does not bear his cross, and come after me, can not be my disciple.
28 “Mee isin keessaa namni tokko gamoo ijaarrachuu barbaada haa jennuu; namichi sun gamoo sana ijaaree fixuuf horii gaʼaa qabaachuu fi qabaachuu baachuu isaa beekuuf duraan dursee taaʼee gatii isaa hin herregatuu?
For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not first sit down, and count the cost, whether he has the means to finish it?
29 Yoo kanaa achii yommuu inni hundee kaaʼee fixuu dadhabutti, namoonni argan hundi itti qoosu.
Lest, when he has laid the foundation, and is not able to finish, all that see it begin to deride him,
30 Isaanis, ‘Namichi kun ijaaruu jalqabee fixuu dadhabe’ jedhu.
saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.
31 “Yookaan mee mootiin tokko mootii biraa loluu dhaqa haa jennuu; inni mootii loltoota kuma digdamaan isatti dhufu tokko loltoota kuma kudhaniin of irraa loluu dandaʼuu fi dandaʼuu baachuu isaa duraan dursee taaʼee itti hin yaaduu?
Or, what king, going to make war against another king, does not first sit down, and deliberate whether he is able, with ten thousand, to meet him that is coming; against him with twenty thousand?
32 Yoo hin dandeenye immoo utuu mootichi kaan isa irraa fagoo jiruu bakka buʼoota itti ergee akka nagaan buʼu kadhata.
And if not, while he is yet at a distance, he sends an embassy, and asks for conditions of peace.
33 Akkanumas isin keessaa namni waan qabu hunda hin dhiifne kam iyyuu barataa koo taʼuu hin dandaʼu.
So, then, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has, can not be my disciple.
34 “Soogiddi gaarii dha; garuu yoo inni miʼaa isaa dhabe, miʼaan isaa akkamiin deebifamuu dandaʼa?
Salt is good; but if the salt become tasteless, by what means shall it become salt again?
35 Inni biyyoof yookaan tuulaa kosiitiif faayidaa hin qabu; inni gad gatama. “Namni gurra dhagaʼu qabu kam iyyuu haa dhagaʼu.”
It is fit neither for earth, nor for manure; but they cast it out. He that has ears to hear, let him hear.
