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 unto the disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he was wasting 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 unto him, What is this that I hear of thee? render the account of thy stewardship; for thou canst be no longer steward.
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, seeing that my lord taketh away the stewardship from me? I have not strength to dig; to beg I am ashamed.
4 Akka yeroo ani hojii keessaa ariʼamutti namoonni mana isaaniitti na simataniif waanan godhu anuu beeka.’
I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of 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.
And calling to him each one of his lord’s debtors, he said to the first, How much owest thou unto 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.
And he said, A hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bond, 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 said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, A hundred measures of wheat. He saith unto him, Take thy bond, and write fourscore.
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 his lord commended the unrighteous steward because he had done wisely: for the sons of this world are for their own generation wiser than the sons of the 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 unto you, Make to yourselves friends by means of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when it shall fail, they may receive you into the eternal tabernacles. (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 a very little is faithful also in much: and he that is unrighteous in a very little is unrighteous also in much.
11 Yoos isin yoo qabeenya addunyaatti hin amanamne, qabeenya dhugaatti immoo eenyutu isin amana ree?
If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true [riches]?
12 Yoo isin qabeenya nama biraa irratti hin amanamne, qabeenya mataa keessanii immoo eenyutu isinii kenna ree?
And if ye 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 else he will hold to one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
14 Fariisonni warri maallaqa jaallatan waan kana hunda dhagaʼanii Yesuusitti qoosan.
And the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all these things; and they scoffed at 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 unto them, Ye are they that justify yourselves in the sight of men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of 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 gospel of the kingdom of God is preached, and every man entereth violently into it.
17 Seera keessaa tuqaan hundumaa gadii dhabamuu irra samii fi lafti dhabamuutu salphata.
But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for 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 one that is put away from a husband committeth adultery.
19 “Namicha sooressa uffata dhiilgee haphii kan quncee talbaa irraa hojjetame uffatee, guyyuma guyyaan qananiidhaan jiraatu tokkotu ture.
Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, faring sumptuously every day:
20 Karra isaa dura immoo namichi hiyyeessi Alʼaazaar jedhamu kan dhagni isaa hundi mammadaaʼe tokko ciisaa ture.
and a certain beggar named Lazarus was laid 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.
and desiring to be fed with the [crumbs] that fell from the rich man’s table; yea, even 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 that he was carried away by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: and the rich man also died, and was buried.
23 Utuu Siiʼool keessatti dhiphachaa jiruus ol milʼatee Abrahaamin fagootti, Alʼaazaarin immoo bobaa Abrahaam keessatti arge. (Hadēs g86)
And in Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth 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, and cool my tongue; for I am in anguish 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.
But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and Lazarus in like manner evil things: but now here he is comforted, and thou art in anguish.
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 beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, that they which would pass from hence to you may not be able, and that none may cross over from thence to us.
27 “Dureessi sunis akkana jedhee deebise; ‘Yoos yaa Abbaa, akka ati gara mana abbaa kootti Alʼaazaarin naa ergitu sin kadhadha;
And he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father’s house;
28 ani obboloota shan qabaatii; akka isaanis iddoo dhiphinaa kana hin dhufneef inni dhaqee isaan haa akeekkachiisu.’
for I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
29 “Abrahaam garuu, ‘Isaan Musee fi raajota qabu; isaanuma haa dhagaʼan’ jedhe.
But Abraham saith, 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.
And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one go to them from the dead, they will repent.
31 “Abrahaamis, ‘Isaan yoo Musee fi raajota hin dhageenye, yoo namni tokko warra duʼan keessaa kaʼe illee hin amanan’ jedheen.”
And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, if one rise from the dead.
