Luqaas 18
1 Yesuusis akka isaan yeroo hunda kadhachuu qabanii fi akka isaan abdii hin kutanne isaan barsiisuuf jedhee fakkeenya tokko barattoota isaatti hime.
He was speaking then (and *ko*) a parable to them about it needing always to pray (they *no*) and not to lose heart
2 Innis akkana jedhe; “Magaalaa tokko keessa abbaa murtii kan Waaqa hin sodaanne, namas kan hin kabajne tokkotu ture.
saying; A judge certain there was in a certain city God not fearing and man not respecting.
3 Haati hiyyeessaa tokkos magaalaa sana keessa turte; isheenis, ‘Diina koo irratti murtii qajeelaa naa kenni’ jettee isatti deddeebiʼaa turte.
A widow then there was in the city that and she was coming to him saying; do avenge me of the adversary of mine.
4 “Innis yeroo gabaabaaf didee ture; ergasii garuu akkana jedhee garaa isaatti yaade; ‘Ani yoon Waaqa hin sodaanne illee, yoon namas hin kabajne illee,
And not (he was desiring [to do] *N(k)O*) for a time. afterward however he said within himself; If even God not I fear (nor *N(k)O*) man respect,
5 sababii niitiin kun deddeebitee na rakkiftuuf murtii qajeelaa nan kennaaf; yoo kanaa achii deddeebitee na dadhabsiifti.’”
because yet it occasioning me trouble widow this I will avenge her, so that not to end coming she may exhaust me.
6 Gooftaanis akkana jedhe; “Egaa waan abbichii murtii dabaan sun jedhu dhagaʼaa;
Said then the Lord; do hear what the judge unrighteous says;
7 Waaqni immoo filatamtoota isaa warra halkanii guyyaa gara isaatti iyyataniif murtii qajeelaa hin kennuu? Isaan duraa tursaa ree?
And God certainly not (may do *N(k)O*) the avenging of the elect of Him the [ones] crying out (to *k*) (to Him *N(k)O*) day and night, and (be patient *N(k)O*) in regard to them?
8 Ani isinittin hima; inni dafee murtii qajeelaa kennaaf; garuu Ilmi Namaa gaafa dhufu lafa irratti amantii ni argataa?”
I say to you that He will carry out the avenging of them with speed. Nevertheless the Son of Man having come surely not will He find faith on the earth?
9 Yesuusis namoota qajeelummaa ofiitti amananii warra kaan immoo tuffatanitti akkana jedhee fakkeenya kana hime.
He spoke now also to some having trusted in themselves that they are righteous and (despising *NK(o)*) the others parable this.
10 “Namoonni lama Waaqa kadhachuuf gara mana qulqullummaatti ol baʼan; isaanis Fariisicha tokkoo fi nama qaraxa walitti qabu tokko turan.
Men two went up into the temple to pray, the one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
11 Fariisichi kaʼee dhaabatee, waaʼee mataa isaa akkana jedhee kadhate; ‘Yaa Waaqayyo, ani akka namoota kaanii jechuunis akka saamtotaa, jalʼootaa fi sagaagaltootaa keessumattuu waan akka namicha qaraxa walitti qabu kanaa hin taʼiniif sin galateeffadha.
The Pharisee having stood toward himself these things was praying; O God, I thank You that not I am (like *NK(o)*) the rest of the men — swindlers, unrighteous, adulterers — or even like this tax collector.
12 Ani torbanitti yeroo lama nan sooma; waanan argadhu hundumaa irraas harka kudhan keessaa tokko nan kenna.’
I fast twice in the week, I tithe all things as much as I gain.
13 “Namichi qaraxa walitti qabu sun garuu fagoo dhaabate, qoma isaa dhadhaʼaa, ‘Yaa Waaqayyo, ani nama cubbamaadhaatii naa naʼi!’ jedhe malee ija isaatiin illee ol jedhee gara samii hin ilaalle.
(and *ko*) (but *no*) the tax collector afar off having stood not was willing not even the eyes to lift up to heaven but was striking (into *k*) the breast (of him *NK(o)*) saying: O God, do be merciful to me to the sinner!
14 “Ani isinittin hima; namichi kun namicha duraa irra fuula Waaqaa duratti qajeelaa taʼee mana isaatti gale. Namni ol of qabu hundinuu gad qabamaatii; namni gad of qabu garuu ol qabama.”
I say to you; went down this one justified to the house of him (rather than *k*) (compared with *n(o)*) (that [one]. *N(k)O*) For everyone who is exalting himself will be humbled, the [one] however humbling himself will be exalted.
15 Namoonni akka inni harka isaan irra kaaʼuuf daaʼimmanis Yesuusitti fidaa turan. Barattoonni garuu yommuu waan kana arganitti isaan ifatan.
They were bringing then to Him also the infants that them He may touch; having seen however the disciples (were rebuking *N(k)O*) them.
16 Yesuus garuu ijoollee sana ofitti waamee akkana jedhe; “Ijoolleen xixinnoon gara koo haa dhufaniitii hin dhowwinaa; mootummaan Waaqaa kan warra akkanaatii.
But Jesus (called *N(k)O*) them (speaking; *N(k)O*) do permit the little children to come to Me and not do forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God.
17 Ani dhuguman isinitti hima; namni akkuma ijoolleetti mootummaa Waaqaa hin simanne kam iyyuu gonkumaa itti hin galu.”
Amen I say to you; who[ever] (maybe *N(k)O*) not shall receive the kingdom of God as a child, certainly not shall enter into it.
18 Bulchaan tokko, “Yaa Barsiisaa gaarii, ani jireenya bara baraa dhaaluuf maal gochuun qaba?” jedhee isa gaafate. (aiōnios g166)
And asked a certain Him ruler saying; Teacher good, what having done life eternal will I inherit? (aiōnios g166)
19 Yesuusis akkana jedhee deebise; “Ati maaliif gaarii naan jetta? Waaqa tokkicha malee gaariin hin jiru.
Said then to him Jesus; Why Me you call good? No [one is] good only except one God.
20 Ati ajajawwan ni beekta; ‘Hin ejjin; hin ajjeesin; hin hatin; sobaan dhugaa hin baʼin; abbaa keetii fi haadha keetiif ulfina kenni.’”
The commandments You know: Not shall you commit adultery, not shall you murder, not shall you steal, not shall you bear false witness, do honor the father of you and the mother (of you. *k*)
21 Namichis, “Ani ijoollummaa kootii jalqabee ajajawwan kanneen hunda eegeera” jedhe.
And he said; These all (I kept *N(k)O*) from [the] youth (of mine. *ko*)
22 Yesuusis yommuu waan kana dhagaʼetti, “Amma illee waan tokkotu si duraa hirʼata; waan qabdu hunda gurgurii hiyyeeyyiif kenni; samii keessatti badhaadhummaa ni qabaattaa. Ergasii kottuu na duukaa buʼi” jedheen.
Having heard then (these things *k*) Jesus said to him; Yet one thing to you is lacking: All as much as you have do sell and do distribute to [the] poor, and you will have treasure in (the *no*) (heavens; *N(k)O*) and come, do follow Me.
23 Inni yommuu waan kana dhagaʼetti baayʼee gadde; akka malee sooressa tureetii.
And having heard these things very sorrowful (he became; *N(k)O*) he was for rich extremely.
24 Yesuusis isa ilaalee akkana jedhe; “Mootummaa Waaqaatti galuun sooreyyiif akkam rakkisaa dha!
Having seen then him Jesus sorrowful became saying; How difficult [for] those riches having [when] into the kingdom of God (they enter. *N(k)O*)
25 Dhugumaan namni sooressi mootummaa Waaqaatti galuu irra qaawwa lilmoo keessa baʼuutu gaalaaf salphata.”
Easier for it is a camel through (an eye of a needle *N(k)O*) to go than a rich man into the kingdom of God to enter.
26 Warri waan kana dhagaʼanis, “Yoos eenyutu fayyuu dandaʼa ree?” jedhanii gaafatan.
Said then those having heard; Then who is able to be saved?
27 Yesuusis, “Wanni namaaf hin dandaʼamne, Waaqaaf ni dandaʼama” jedhee deebise.
But He said; The [things] impossible with men possible with God are.
28 Phexrosis, “Kunoo, nu waan qabnu hunda dhiifnee si duukaa buuneerra” jedheen.
Said then Peter; Behold we ourselves (having abandoned *N(k)O*) (*no*) ([our] own [things] *N(k)O*) (and *k*) followed You.
29 Yesuus immoo akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Ani dhuguman isinitti hima; namni sababii mootummaa Waaqaatiif jedhee mana yookaan niitii yookaan obboloota yookaan haadhaa fi abbaa yookaan ijoollee dhiisee,
And He said to them; Amen I say to you that no [one] there is who has left house or wife or brothers or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God,
31 Yesuus warra kudha lamaan kophaatti baasee akkana jedheen; “Kunoo nu Yerusaalemitti ol baʼaa jirra; wanni raajonni waaʼee Ilma Namaa barreessan hundinuus ni raawwatama.
Having taken aside then the Twelve He said to them; Behold we go up to (Jerusalem, *N(k)O*) and will be accomplished all things which written through the prophets about the Son of Man;
32 Inni dabarfamee Namoota Ormaatti ni kennama. Isaanis isatti qoosu; isa arrabsu; isatti tufu; isa garafu; isa ajjeesus.
He will be betrayed for to the Gentiles and will be mocked and will be insulted and will be spit upon,
33 Innis guyyaa sadaffaatti duʼaa ni kaʼa.”
And having flogged [Him] they will kill Him, and on the day third He will rise again.
34 Barattoonni garuu waan kana hunda keessaa tokko illee hin hubanne; hiikkaan isaas isaan duraa dhokfamee ture. Inni maal akka dubbachaa tures isaaniif hin galle.
And they themselves no [thing] of these things understood, and was declaration this hidden from them, and neither they were knowing the [things] being spoken.
35 Yeroo Yesuus Yerikootti dhiʼaatetti, namichi jaamaan tokko qarqara karaa taaʼee kadhachaa ture.
It came to pass then in the drawing near by Him to Jericho a blind [man] certain was sitting beside the road (begging. *N(k)O*)
36 Innis akka tuunni namootaa karaa sana darbaa jiru dhageenyaan, waan taʼaa ture gaafate.
Having heard now a crowd passing along he was asking what (maybe *o*) would be this.
37 Isaanis, “Yesuus nama Naazreetitu asiin darbaa jira” jedhanii isatti himan.
They told then to him that Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.
38 Innis, “Yesuus, yaa ilma Daawit, na maari!” jedhee iyye.
And he called out saying; Jesus Son of David, do have mercy on me.
39 Namoonni fuula dura deemaa turanis akka inni calʼisuuf isa ifatan; inni garuu, “Yaa ilma Daawit na maari!” jedhee ittuma caalchisee iyye.
And those going before were rebuking him that (he may be silent. *N(k)O*) He himself however much more was crying out; Son of David, do have mercy on me.
40 Yesuusis dhaabatee akka isaan namicha gara isaa fidan ajaje. Yommuu inni gara isaatti dhiʼaatetti Yesuus akkana jedhee isa gaafate;
Having stopped then Jesus commanded him to be brought to Him. When was approaching then he He asked him;
41 “Akka ani maal siif godhu barbaadda?” Namichis, “Yaa Gooftaa, ani arguun barbaada” jedhee deebise.
(saying *ko*) What to you desire you I may do? And he said; Lord, that I may receive sight.
42 Yesuusis, “Argi; amantiin kee si fayyiseeraa” jedheen.
And Jesus said to him; do receive sight: The faith of you has healed you.
43 Innis yeruma sana argee Waaqa jajachaa Yesuus duukaa buʼe. Namoonni hundinuus yommuu waan kana arganitti Waaqa jajan.
And immediately he received sight and was following Him glorifying God. And all the people having seen [it] gave praise to God.
