Luqaas 19
1 Yesuus Yerikoo seenee achi keessa darbaa ture.
And having entered, he walked through Jericho.
2 Namichi Zakkewoos jedhamu tokkos achi ture; innis hangafa warra qaraxa walitti qabaniitii fi sooressa ture.
And behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus. And he was the leader of the tax collectors, and he was wealthy.
3 Innis Yesuus nama akkamii akka taʼe arguu barbaade; garuu gabaabaa waan tureef, sababii baayʼina namootaatiif isa arguu hin dandeenye.
And he sought to see Jesus, to see who he was. But he was unable to do so, because of the crowd, for he was small in stature.
4 Yesuus waan karaa sana irra darbaa tureef, Zakkewoos isa arguuf jedhee fiigee dura darbee muka qilxuu tokko yaabe.
And running ahead, he climbed up a sycamore tree, so that he might see him. For he was to pass near there.
5 Yesuus yommuu iddoo sana gaʼetti ol milʼatee, “Yaa Zakkewoos, harʼa mana kee ooluun narra jiraatii dafii gad buʼi” jedheen.
And when he had arrived at the place, Jesus looked up and saw him, and he said to him: “Zacchaeus, hurry down. For today, I should lodge in your house.”
6 Innis yommusuma gad buʼee gammachuudhaan isa simate.
And hurrying, he came down, and he received him joyfully.
7 Namoonni hundinuu yommuu waan kana arganitti, “Inni keessummaa ‘Nama cubbamaa’ taʼuu dhaqe!” jedhanii guungumuu jalqaban.
And when they all saw this, they murmured, saying that he had turned aside to a sinful man.
8 Zakkewoos garuu kaʼee dhaabatee Gooftaadhaan, “Yaa Gooftaa kunoo, ani walakkaa qabeenya koo hiyyeeyyiif nan kenna; ani yoon nama tokko illee gowwoomsee saamee jiraadhe, waanan fudhadhe sana harka afur godhee nan deebisa” jedhe.
But Zacchaeus, standing still, said to the Lord: “Behold, Lord, one half of my goods I give to the poor. And if I have cheated anyone in any matter, I will repay him fourfold.”
9 Yesuus deebisee akkana jedheen; “Namichi kunis waan ilma Abrahaam taʼeef, harʼa fayyinni mana kanaaf dhufeera.
Jesus said to him: “Today, salvation has come to this house; because of this, he too is a son of Abraham.
10 Ilmi Namaa isa bade barbaaduu fi fayyisuudhaaf dhufeetii.”
For the Son of man has come to seek and to save what had been lost.”
11 Yesuusis utuma isaan waan kana dhagaʼaa jiranuu itti fufee, fakkeenya tokko isaanitti hime; kanas sababii inni Yerusaalemitti dhiʼaatee fi sababii namoonni waan mootummaan Waaqaa yeruma sana mulʼatu seʼaniif dubbate.
As they were listening to these things, continuing on, he spoke a parable, because he was nearing Jerusalem, and because they guessed that the kingdom of God might be manifested without delay.
12 Innis akkana jedhe; “Namichi sanyii mootii tokko muudamee mootii taʼee deebiʼuuf biyya fagoo dhaqe.
Therefore, he said: “A certain man of nobility traveled to a far away region, to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
13 Namichi sunis garboota isaa keessaa nama kudhan waamee, ‘Hamma ani deebiʼutti maallaqa kanaan daldalaa’ jedhee minnaanii kudhan isaanitti kenne.
And calling his ten servants, he gave them ten pounds, and he said to them: ‘Do business until I return.’
14 “Namoonni biyya isaa garuu isa jibbanii, ‘Akka namichi kun nurratti mootii taʼu hin feenu!’ jedhanii bakka buʼoota isaanii isa duubaan ergatan.
But his citizens hated him. And so they sent a delegation after him, saying, ‘We do not want this one to reign over us.’
15 “Innis erga muudamee mootii taʼee deebiʼee booddee garboonni inni maallaqa itti kennee ture sun ittiin daldalanii maal akka argatan beekuuf jedhee nama itti ergee isaan waamsise.
And it happened that he returned, having received the kingdom. And he ordered the servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called so that he would know how much each one had earned by doing business.
16 “Garbichi jalqabaa dhufee, ‘Yaa Gooftaa, minnaaniin kee minnaanii gara biraa kudhan dhaleera’ jedheen.
Now the first approached, saying: ‘Lord, your one pound has earned ten pounds.’
17 “Gooftaan isaas deebisee, ‘Yaa garbicha gaarii, ati waan gaarii hojjette. Sababii ati waan akka malee xinnoo irratti amanamaa taateef, magaalaa kudhan irratti taayitaa qabaadhu’ jedheen.
And he said to him: ‘Well done, good servant. Since you have been faithful in a small matter, you will hold authority over ten cities.’
18 “Garbichi lammaffaanis dhufee, ‘Yaa Gooftaa, minnaaniin kee minnaanii gara biraa shan dhaleera’ jedheen.
And the second came, saying: ‘Lord, your one pound has earned five pounds.’
19 “Gooftaan isaas deebisee, ‘Atis magaalaa shan irratti moʼi’ jedheen.
And he said to him, ‘And so, you shall be over five cities.’
20 “Inni sadaffaan immoo dhufee akkana jedhe; ‘Yaa Gooftaa, minnaaniin kee kunoo ti; ani huccuudhaan maree dhokseen ture.
And another approached, saying: ‘Lord, behold your one pound, which I kept stored in a cloth.
21 Ati gara jabeessa waan taateef ani sin sodaadhe; ati waan hin kaaʼatin fudhatta; waan hin facaasinis haammatta.’
For I feared you, because you are an austere man. You take up what you did not lay down, and you reap what you did not sow.’
22 “Gooftaan isaas deebisee akkana jedhe; ‘Yaa garbicha hamaa nana; ani dubbuma afaan keetiitiin sittin mura; ati akka ani nama dabaa waan hin kaaʼatin fudhatu, waan hin facaasinis haammatu taʼe beekta mitii?
He said to him: ‘By your own mouth, do I judge you, O wicked servant. You knew that I am an austere man, taking up what I did not lay down, and reaping what I did not sow.
23 Yoos akka ani yommuun deebiʼutti dhala isaa wajjin fudhadhuuf maaliif maallaqa koo mana baankii naa hin kaaʼin ree?’
And so, why did you not give my money to the bank, so that, upon my return, I might have withdrawn it with interest?’
24 “Gooftichis warra achi dhadhaabataniin, ‘Minnaanii sana isa harkaa fuudhaatii namicha minnaanii kudhan qabuuf kennaa’ jedhe.
And he said to the bystanders, ‘Take the pound away from him, and give it to him who has ten pounds.’
25 “Isaanis deebisanii, ‘Yaa Gooftaa, inni duraanuu minnaanii kudhan qaba’ jedhaniin.
And they said to him, ‘Lord, he has ten pounds.’
26 “Inni immoo deebisee akkana jedhe; ‘Ani isinittin hima; kan qabu hundaafuu itti dabalamee ni kennama; kan hin qabne garuu wanni inni qabu iyyuu irraa fudhatama;
So then, I say to you, that to all who have, it shall be given, and he will have in abundance. And from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken from him.
27 diinota koo kanneen akka ani isaan irratti mootii taʼu hin barbaadin immoo as fidaatii fuula koo duratti isaan gogorraʼaa.’”
‘Yet truly, as for those enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here, and put them to death before me.’”
28 Yesuus erga waan kana dubbatee booddee Yerusaalemitti ol baʼuuf isaan dura deemaa ture.
And having said these things, he went ahead, ascending to Jerusalem.
29 Innis akkuma Beetfaagee fi Biitaaniyaa kanneen tulluu Gaara Ejersaa jedhamu biraa sanatti dhiʼaateen barattoota isaa keessaa lama erge;
And it happened that, when he had drawn near to Bethphage and Bethania, to the mount which is called Olivet, he sent two of his disciples,
30 akkanas isaaniin jedhe; “Gara ganda fuula keessan dura jiru sanaa dhaqaa; akkuma achi seentaniinis, ilmoo harree kan namni tokko iyyuu takkumaa hin yaabbatin tokko achitti hidhamee jiru ni argattu. Isa hiikaatii as fidaa.
saying: “Go into the town which is opposite you. Upon entering it, you will find the colt of a donkey, tied, on which no man has ever sat. Untie it, and lead it here.
31 Yoo namni tokko iyyuu, ‘Isin maaliif hiiktu?’ jedhee isin gaafate, ‘Gooftaatu isa barbaada’ jedhaa.”
And if anyone will ask you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ you shall say this to him: ‘Because the Lord has requested its service.’”
32 Warri ergamanis dhaqanii waan hunda akkuma inni isaanitti himetti argatan.
And those who were sent went out, and they found the colt standing, just as he told them.
33 Utuu isaan ilmoo harree sana hiikaa jiranuus warri harree sanaa, “Ilmoo harree kana maaliif hiiktu?” jedhanii isaan gaafatan.
Then, as they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?”
34 Isaanis, “Gooftaatu isa barbaada” jedhanii deebisan.
So they said, “Because the Lord has need of it.”
35 Ilmoo harree sanas Yesuusitti fidan; uffata isaaniis harree sana irra buusan; Yesuusinis irra teessisan.
And they led it to Jesus. And casting their garments on the colt, they helped Jesus onto it.
36 Utuu inni deemuus namoonni uffata isaanii karaa irra afan.
Then, as he was traveling, they were laying down their garments along the way.
37 Yeroo inni daandii Tulluu Ejersaa irraa gad buʼutti dhiʼaatettis, barattoonni hundi hojii dinqii arganii turan hundatti gammadanii, sagalee guddaan akkana jedhanii Waaqa galateeffachuu jalqaban.
And when he was now drawing near to the descent of Mount Olivet, the entire crowd of his disciples began to praise God joyfully, with a loud voice, over all the powerful works which they had seen,
38 “Mootiin maqaa Gooftaatiin dhufu eebbifamaa dha!” “Nagaan samii irratti, ulfinnis ol gubbaatti!”
saying: “Blessed is the king who has arrived in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory on high!”
39 Namoota achi turan keessaas Fariisonni tokko tokko Yesuusiin, “Yaa Barsiisaa, barattoota kee ifadhu!” jedhan.
And certain Pharisees within the crowd said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples.”
40 Innis deebisee, “Ani isinittin hima; yoo isaan calʼisan illee dhagoonni ni iyyu” jedheen.
And he said to them, “I tell you, that if these will keep silent, the stones themselves will cry out.”
41 Yesuusis yommuu Yerusaalemitti dhiʼaatee magaalattii argetti ni booʼeef;
And when he drew near, seeing the city, he wept over it, saying:
42 akkanas jedhe; “Utuu atumti waan harʼa nagaa siif kennu beektee gaarii ture! Amma garuu ija kee duraa dhokfameera.
“If only you had known, indeed even in this your day, which things are for your peace. But now they are hidden from your eyes.
43 Guyyoonni itti diinonni kee koobii sitti ijaaranii, si marsanii, karaa hundaanis baʼuu si dhowwan sitti ni dhufuutii.
For the days will overtake you. And your enemies will encircle you with a valley. And they will surround you and hem you in on every side.
44 Diinonni siʼii fi ijoollee kee warra dallaa kee keessa jiraatan biyyootti maku. Isaan dhagaa tokko dhagaa kaan irratti hin dhiisan; ati yeroo itti Waaqni gara kee dhufu hin beekneetii.”
And they will knock you down to the ground, with your sons who are in you. And they will not leave stone upon stone within you, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation.”
45 Yesuus mana qulqullummaa seenee warra gurgurachaa turan ariʼuu jalqabe.
And entering into the temple, he began to cast out those who sold in it, and those who bought,
46 Innis, “‘Manni koo mana kadhannaa taʼa’ jedhamee barreeffameera; isin garuu ‘Holqa saamtotaa’ gootaniirtu” isaaniin jedhe.
saying to them: “It is written: ‘My house is a house of prayer.’ But you have made it into a den of robbers.”
47 Guyyuma guyyaanis mana qulqullummaa keessatti barsiisaa ture; luboonni hangafoonni, barsiistonni seeraatii fi dura buʼoonni sabaa garuu isa ajjeesuudhaaf jabeessanii barbaadaa turan.
And he was teaching in the temple daily. And the leaders of the priests, and the scribes, and the leaders of the people were seeking to destroy him.
48 Taʼus isaan karaa ittiin isa ajjeesan hin arganne; namoonni hundinuu yaada tokkoon waan inni dubbate dhaggeeffachaa turaniitii.
But they could not find what to do to him. For all the people were listening to him attentively.
