Luqaas 16
1 Yesuus barattoota isaatiin akkana jedhe; “Namicha sooressa nama hojii isaa adeemsisuuf qabu tokkotu ture; akka hojii adeemsisaan sun qabeenya isaa jalaa balleessaa jirus sooressa sanatti himan.
And he said also to his disciples: There was a certain rich man who had a steward: and the same was accused unto him, that he had wasted his goods.
2 Sooressi sunis hojii adeemsisaa sana ofitti waamee, ‘Wanni ani waaʼee kee dhagaʼu kun maalii? Ati siʼachi waan hojii adeemsisaa taʼuu hin dandeenyeef, hojii adeemsisaa turte sana irratti gabaasa naa dhiʼeessi’ jedheen.
And he called him, and said to him: How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship: for now thou canst be steward no longer.
3 “Hojii adeemsisaan sunis garaa isaa keessatti akkana jedhe; ‘Waan gooftaan koo hojii keessaa na baasuuf, maal naa wayya? Lafa qotuuf humna hin qabu; kadhachuu immoo nan qaanaʼa.
And the steward said within himself: What shall I do, because my lord taketh away from me the stewardship? To dig I am not able; to beg I am ashamed.
4 Akka yeroo ani hojii keessaa ariʼamutti namoonni mana isaaniitti na simataniif waanan godhu anuu beeka.’
I know what I will do, that when I shall be removed from the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.
5 “Innis warra gatiin gooftaa isaa irra jiru tokko tokkoon waamee, isa jalqabaatiin, ‘Idaan gooftaa koo hammamitu sirra jira?’ jedhee gaafate.
Therefore calling together every one of his lord’s debtors, he said to the first: How much dost thou owe my lord?
6 “Namichis, ‘Zayitii ejersaa hubboo dhibba saddeeti’ jedhee deebise. “Hojii adeemsisaan sunis, ‘Waraqaa walii galtee kee hooʼu; dafii taaʼiitii dhibba afur jedhii barreessi’ jedheen.
But he said: An hundred barrels of oil. And he said to him: Take thy bill and sit down quickly, and write fifty.
7 “Isa lammaffaadhaanis, ‘Sirra immoo hammamitu jira?’ jedhee gaafate. “Innis, ‘Qamadii guuboo kuma tokkoo’ jedheen. “Hojii adeemsisaan sunis, ‘Waraqaa walii galtee kee hooʼuutii, 80 jedhii barreessi’ jedheen.
Then he said to another: And how much dost thou owe? Who said: An hundred quarters of wheat. He said to him: Take thy bill, and write eighty.
8 “Hojii adeemsisaan hin amanamne sun waan abshaala taʼeef gooftichi isa jaje; namoonni addunyaa kanaa warra akka isaanii wajjin haajaa isaanii guutachuu irratti namoota ifaa caalaa abshaalotaatii. (aiōn g165)
And the lord commended the unjust steward, forasmuch as he had done wisely: for the children of this world are wiser in their generation than the children of light. (aiōn g165)
9 Ani isinittin hima; akka isaan yeroo qabeenyi sun dhumutti mana bara baraatti isin simataniif qabeenya addunyaatiin ofii keessaniif michoota horadhaa. (aiōnios g166)
And I say to you: Make unto you friends of the mammon of iniquity; that when you shall fail, they may receive you into everlasting dwellings. (aiōnios g166)
10 “Namni waan xinnootti amanamu kam iyyuu waan baayʼeettis ni amanama; namni waan xinnootti hin amanamne kam iyyuu immoo waan baayʼeettis hin amanamu.
He that is faithful in that which is least, is faithful also in that which is greater: and he that is unjust in that which is little, is unjust also in that which is greater.
11 Yoos isin yoo qabeenya addunyaatti hin amanamne, qabeenya dhugaatti immoo eenyutu isin amana ree?
If then you have not been faithful in the unjust mammon; who will trust you with that which is the true?
12 Yoo isin qabeenya nama biraa irratti hin amanamne, qabeenya mataa keessanii immoo eenyutu isinii kenna ree?
And if you have not been faithful in that which is another’s; who will give you that which is your own?
13 “Namni gooftota lama tajaajiluu dandaʼu tokko iyyuu hin jiru. Isa tokko jibbitee isa kaan jaallattaatii; yookaan isa tokkoof of kennitee isa kaan immoo tuffatta. Isinis Waaqaa fi maallaqa tajaajiluu hin dandeessan.”
No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or he will hold to the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.
14 Fariisonni warri maallaqa jaallatan waan kana hunda dhagaʼanii Yesuusitti qoosan.
Now the Pharisees, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.
15 Innis akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Isin warra fuula namootaa duratti qajeeltota of gootanii dha; Waaqni garuu garaa keessan beeka. Wanni nama biratti akka malee kabajamu fuula Waaqaa duratti jibbisiisaadhaatii.
And he said to them: You are they who justify yourselves before men, but God knoweth your hearts; for that which is high to men, is an abomination before God.
16 “Seerrii fi raajonni hamma Yohannisitti labsaman. Yeroo sanaa jalqabee wangeelli mootummaa Waaqaa lallabamaa jira; namni hundinuus itti galuuf wal dhiiba.
The law and the prophets were until John; from that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every one useth violence towards it.
17 Seera keessaa tuqaan hundumaa gadii dhabamuu irra samii fi lafti dhabamuutu salphata.
And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fall.
18 “Namni niitii isaa hiikee dubartii biraa fuudhu kam iyyuu ejja raawwata; namni dubartii dhirsa ishee hiikte fuudhus ejja raawwata.
Every one that putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and he that marrieth her that is put away from her husband, committeth adultery.
19 “Namicha sooressa uffata dhiilgee haphii kan quncee talbaa irraa hojjetame uffatee, guyyuma guyyaan qananiidhaan jiraatu tokkotu ture.
There was a certain rich man, who was clothed in purple and fine linen; and feasted sumptuously every day.
20 Karra isaa dura immoo namichi hiyyeessi Alʼaazaar jedhamu kan dhagni isaa hundi mammadaaʼe tokko ciisaa ture.
And there was a certain beggar, named Lazarus, who lay at his gate, full of sores,
21 Innis hambaa maaddii sooressa sanaa irraa harcaʼu illee nyaachuu ni kajeela ture; saroonni iyyuu dhufanii madaa isaa arraabu turan.
Desiring to be filled with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table, and no one did give him; moreover the dogs came, and licked his sores.
22 “Gaaf tokko namichi hiyyeessi sun duunaan ergamoonni Waaqaa isa baatanii gara bobaa Abrahaamitti isa geessan; sooressichis duʼee awwaalame.
And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom. And the rich man also died: and he was buried,
23 Utuu Siiʼool keessatti dhiphachaa jiruus ol milʼatee Abrahaamin fagootti, Alʼaazaarin immoo bobaa Abrahaam keessatti arge. (Hadēs g86)
in hell. And lifting up his eyes when he was in torments, he saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom: (Hadēs g86)
24 Innis iyyee, ‘Yaa Abbaa koo Abrahaam, waan ani ibidda kana keessatti dhiphachaa jiruuf maaloo garaa naa laafiitii akka inni fiixee quba isaa bishaan keessa cuuphee arraba koo naa qabbaneessuuf Alʼaazaarin naa ergi’ jedheen.
And he cried, and said: Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, to cool my tongue: for I am tormented in this flame.
25 “Abrahaam garuu akkana jedhee deebise; ‘Yaa ilma ko, ati bara jireenya keetiitti waan gaarii akka argatte, Alʼaazaar immoo waan hamaa akka argate yaadadhu; amma garuu asitti isatti toleera; ati immoo dhiphachaa jirta.
And Abraham said to him: Son, remember that thou didst receive good things in thy lifetime, and likewise Lazareth evil things, but now he is comforted; and thou art tormented.
26 Waan kana hunda irrattis, akka warri nu biraa gara keessan dhufuu barbaadan dhufuu hin dandeenyeef yookaan akka warri isin biraa gara keenyatti ceʼuu hin dandeenyeef nuu fi isin gidduu boolla guddaatu jira.’
And besides all this, between us and you, there is fixed a great chaos: so that they who would pass from hence to you, cannot, nor from thence come hither.
27 “Dureessi sunis akkana jedhee deebise; ‘Yoos yaa Abbaa, akka ati gara mana abbaa kootti Alʼaazaarin naa ergitu sin kadhadha;
And he said: Then, father, I beseech thee, that thou wouldst send him to my father’s house, for I have five brethren,
28 ani obboloota shan qabaatii; akka isaanis iddoo dhiphinaa kana hin dhufneef inni dhaqee isaan haa akeekkachiisu.’
That he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torments.
29 “Abrahaam garuu, ‘Isaan Musee fi raajota qabu; isaanuma haa dhagaʼan’ jedhe.
And Abraham said to him: They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
30 “Dureessichis, ‘Akkas miti; yaa abbaa koo Abrahaam; yoo warra duʼan keessaa namni tokko gara isaanii dhaqe garuu, isaan qalbii ni jijjiirratu’ jedheen.
But he said: No, father Abraham: but if one went to them from the dead, they will do penance.
31 “Abrahaamis, ‘Isaan yoo Musee fi raajota hin dhageenye, yoo namni tokko warra duʼan keessaa kaʼe illee hin amanan’ jedheen.”
And he said to him: If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they believe, if one rise again from the dead.
