Luqaas 15
1 Gaaf tokko warri qaraxa fuudhanii fi cubbamoonni hundi Yesuusin dhaggeeffachuudhaaf isa biratti walitti qabamaa turan.
And all the publicans and sinners were drawing nigh to Him to hear Him.
2 Fariisonnii fi barsiistonni seeraa garuu, “Namichi kun cubbamoota simata; isaan wajjinis ni nyaata” jedhanii guunguman.
And the Pharisees and scribes were murmuring, saying, that, He receives sinners, and eats with them.
3 Yesuusis akkana jedhee fakkeenya kana isaanitti hime;
And He spoke this parable to them, saying,
4 “Isin keessaa namni hoolota dhibba qabu tokko yoo hoolaan tokko jalaa bade, hoolota sagaltamii sagallan kaan lafa tikaatti dhiisee hamma hoolaa bade sana argatutti kan barbaaduu hin deemne eenyu?
What man of you, having a hundred sheep, and having lost one of them, does not leave the ninety and nine in the desert, and go after the lost one, until he may find it?
5 Yommuu argatus gammadee gatiittii isaa irratti baatee,
And having found it, places it on his shoulders, rejoicing:
6 mana isaatti gala. Innis michoota isaatii fi olloota isaa walitti waamee, ‘Ani hoolaa koo kan bade sana argadheeraatii na wajjin gammadaa’ jedha.
and having come into the house, calls together the friends and neighbors, saying to them, Rejoice with me, because I have found my sheep which was lost.
7 Ani isinittin hima; sababii qajeeltota qalbii jijjiirrachuun isaan hin barbaachifne sagaltamii sagalii irra sababii cubbamaa qalbii jijjiirratu tokkootiif samii keessatti gammachuun guddaan akkasuma ni taʼa.
I say unto you that so there will be joy in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, rather than ninety and nine just persons who have not need of repentance.
8 “Yookaan mee dubartii saantima meetii kudhan qabdu jalaa tokko badeera haa jennuu; isheen ibsaa qabsiifattee, manas hartee hamma saantima sana argatutti jabeessitee hin barbaaddattuu?
Or what woman having ten drachmae, if she may lose one drachma, does she not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she may find it?
9 Isheenis yommuu argatutti michoota isheetii fi olloota ishee walitti waamtee, ‘Ani saantima koo kan bade sana argadheeraatii na wajjin gammadaa’ jetti.
And having found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, Rejoice with me, because I have found the drachma which I lost.
10 Ani isinittin hima; sababii cubbamaa qalbii jijjiirratu tokkootiif ergamoonni Waaqaa akkasuma ni gammadu.”
So, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
11 Yesuus ittuma fufee akkana jedhe; “Namicha ilmaan lama qabu tokkotu ture.
And He said, A certain man had two sons.
12 Ilmi quxisuun abbaa isaatiin ‘Yaa abbaa ko, qabeenya kee irraa qooda na gaʼu naa kenni’ jedhe. Abbaanis qabeenya isaa lamaan isaaniitiif ni hire.
And the younger of them said to the father, Father, give to me the portion of the estate that falls to me. And he immediately divided unto them his living.
13 “Ilmi quxisuun sunis utuu hin turin waan qabu hunda walitti qabatee biyya fagoo dhaqe; achittis qabeenya isaa jireenya bashannanuu irratti balleesse.
And not many days afterward the younger son gathering all together, departed into a far-off country; and there wasted his substance living riotously.
14 Erga inni waan hunda fixee booddee beelli hamaan biyya sanatti buʼe; innis rakkachuu jalqabe.
And he having expended all, a severe famine came into that country; and he began to be in want.
15 Kanaafuu dhaqee lammiiwwan biyyasii keessaa isa tokkotti gale; namichi sunis akka inni booyyee tiksuuf lafa tikaatti isa erge.
And having gone he joined himself to one of the citizens of that country: and he sent him into his fields to feed swine:
16 Gurbichis qola booyyeen nyaattu sana nyaatee garaa guutachuu kajeela ture; garuu namni tokko iyyuu waa isatti hin kennu ture.
and he was desiring to fill his stomach from the pods, which the swine were eating: and no one gave unto him:
17 “Innis yommuu of beeketti akkana jedhe; ‘Tajaajiltoonni mana abbaa kootti qacaraman hammamitu buddeena gaʼee irraa hafu qaba! Ani garuu asitti beelaan nan duʼa.
and having come to himself he said, How many hired servants of my father have bread in abundance, but here I perish with hunger!
18 Ani kaʼeen abbaa kootti deebiʼee akkana jedhaan; “Yaa abbaa ko, ani samii fi sitti cubbuu hojjedheera.
Having risen I will go to my father, and say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight:
19 Siʼachi ilma kee jedhamuun naaf hin malu; tajaajiltoota kee keessaa akka isa tokkootti na ilaali.”’
and I am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.
20 Innis kaʼee gara abbaa isaa dhaqe. “Garuu utuu inni fagoo jiruu abbaan isaa isa argee akka malee garaa laafeef; gara ilma isaattis fiigee itti marmee dhungate.
And having risen, he came to his father. And he being yet a great way off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and having run, fell upon his neck, and kissed him copiously.
21 “Gurbichis, ‘Yaa abbaa ko, ani samii fi sitti cubbuu hojjedheera; siʼachi ilma kee jedhamuun naaf hin malu’ jedheen.
And the son said to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight: and I am no more worthy to be called thy son.
22 “Abbaan isaa garuu garboota isaatiin akkana jedhe; ‘Dafaatii uffata uffata hunda caalu fidaa isatti uffisaa; quba isaatti qubeelaa, miilla isaattis kophee kaaʼaa.
And the father said to his servants, Bring hither the first robe, and put it on him; and give a ring to his hand, and sandals to his feet:
23 Dibicha gabbataa fidaatii qalaa; haa nyaannuu; haa gammannus.
and bring hither the fatted calf, slay him, and eating, let us be merry:
24 Ilmi koo kun duʼee tureetii; amma immoo jireenyatti deebiʼeeraa. Badees ture; amma immoo argameera.’ Isaanis gammaduu jalqaban.
because this my son was dead, and is alive again; was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.
25 “Yeroo sanatti ilmi inni hangafti lafa qotiisaa ture; innis yeroo dhufee manatti dhiʼaatetti muuziiqaa fi sirba dhagaʼe.
And his elder son was in the field: and while coming he drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing.
26 Kanaafuu tajaajiltoota keessaa nama tokko waamee waan taʼaa jiru gaafate.
And calling one of the servants, asked him what these things might be.
27 Tajaajilaan sunis deebisee, ‘Obboleessi kee galeera; abbaan kees waan ilma isaa nagaa fi fayyaadhaan argateef dibicha gabbataa qale’ jedheen.
And he said to him, Because thy brother has come; and thy father has slain the fatted calf, because he received him sound.
28 “Obboleessi hangafni garuu aaree ol seenuu dide; kanaaf abbaan isaa gad baʼee isa kadhate.
And he was angry, and did not wish to come in: and his father having gone out, continued to intreat him. And responding he said to the father,
29 Inni immoo deebisee abbaa isaatiin akkana jedhe; ‘Ilaa ani waggoota kanneen hunda akkuma garbaatti siif hojjechaan ture; ajaja kee illee didee hin beeku. Ati garuu akka ani michoota koo wajjin gammaduuf takkumaa ilmoo reʼee tokko illee naa hin kennine.
Behold, I serve thee so many years, and have never transgressed thy commandment: and thou hast never given me a kid, that I may rejoice with my friends:
30 Garuu ilmi kee inni sagaagaltoota wajjin qabeenya kee balleesse kun deebiʼee manatti gallaan dibicha gabbataa qalteef!’
but when this thy son, the one devouring thy living with harlots came, thou hast slain for him the fatted calf.
31 “Abbaan isaas akkana jedheen; ‘Yaa ilma koo ati yeroo hunda anuma wajjin jirta; wanni ani qabu hundinuus kanuma kee ti.
And he said to him, Child, thou art always with me, and all mine are thine:
32 Garuu obboleessi kee inni duʼee ture kun waan jireenyatti deebiʼeef nu gammaduu fi ililchuu qabna. Inni badee ture; amma immoo argameera.’”
and it behooved me to be glad and rejoice; because this thy brother was dead, and is alive; was lost, and is found.
