Luqaas 20
1 Gaaf tokko utuu Yesuus mana qulqullummaa keessatti namoota barsiisuu, utuu wangeelas lallabuu luboonni hangafoonnii fi barsiistonni seeraa maanguddoota wajjin gara isaa dhufan.
One day as Jesus was teaching the people in the temple courts and proclaiming the gospel, the chief priests and scribes, together with the elders, came up to Him.
2 Isaanis, “Ati akka taayitaa maaliitiin waan kana hojjettu nutti himi. Eenyutu taayitaa kana siif kenne” jedhan.
“Tell us,” they said, “by what authority are You doing these things, and who gave You this authority?”
3 Innis akkana jedhee deebise; “Anis gaaffii tokkon isin gaafadha. Isin immoo natti himaa:
“I will also ask you a question,” Jesus replied. “Tell Me:
4 Cuuphaan Yohannis samii irraa dhufe moo nama biraa dhufe?”
John’s baptism—was it from heaven, or from men?”
5 Isaanis waliin mariʼatanii akkana jedhan; “Yoo nu, ‘Samii irraa dhufe’ jenne inni immoo, ‘Isin maaliif isa hin amanin ree?’ jedhee nu gaafata.
They deliberated among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will ask, ‘Why did you not believe him?’
6 Yoo nu, ‘Nama biraa dhufe’ jenne garuu namoonni hundinuu akka Yohannis raajii taʼe waan amananiif dhagaadhaan nu tumu.”
But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are convinced that John was a prophet.”
7 Kanaaf isaan, “Inni eessaa akka dhufe nu hin beeknu” jedhan.
So they answered that they did not know where it was from.
8 Yesuus immoo, “Anis taayitaa maaliitiin akkan waan kana hojjedhu isinitti hin himu” jedheen.
And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”
9 Innis akkana jedhee fakkeenya kana namootatti himuu jalqabe; “Namichi tokko iddoo dhaabaa wayinii irra wayinii dhaabbatee, qonnaan bultootatti kiraa kennatee biyya fagoo dhaqee yeroo dheeraa ture.
Then He proceeded to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard, rented it out to some tenants, and went away for a long time.
10 Innis yeroo midhaan walitti qabamutti akka isaan ija iddoo dhaabaa wayinii irraa waa kennaniif garbicha tokko qottuuwwan sanatti ergate. Qottuuwwan sun garuu tumanii harka duwwaa of irraa isa deebisan.
At harvest time, he sent a servant to the tenants to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard. But the tenants beat the servant and sent him away empty-handed.
11 Innis garbicha biraa ergate; isaan garuu isas tumanii, qaanessaniis harka duwwaa of irraa isa deebisan.
So he sent another servant, but they beat him and treated him shamefully, sending him away empty-handed.
12 Amma illee garbicha sadaffaa ergate; isaan immoo isas madeessanii gad isa darbatan.
Then he sent a third, but they wounded him and threw him out.
13 “Ergasii abbichi iddoo dhaabaa wayinii, ‘Maal gochuu naa wayya? Kaʼeen ilma koo jaallatamaa itti erga; tarii isa ni kabaju taʼaatii’ jedhe.
‘What shall I do?’ asked the owner of the vineyard. ‘I will send my beloved son. Perhaps they will respect him.’
14 “Qottoonni sun garuu yommuu isa arganitti, ‘Dhaaltuun isa kana; kottaa isa ajjeefnaa; dhaalli sun kan keenya taʼaatii’ jedhanii walii wajjin dudubbatan.
But when the tenants saw the son, they discussed it among themselves and said, ‘This is the heir. Let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’
15 Kanaafuu isaan iddoo dhaabaa wayinii keessaa gad baasanii isa ajjeesan. “Egaa abbaan iddoo dhaabaa wayinii sanaa maal isaan godhinna laata?
So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?
16 Inni dhufee qottuuwwan sana ni ajjeesa; iddoo dhaabaa wayinii sanas namoota biraatti kennata.” Namoonnis yommuu waan kana dhagaʼanitti, “Waaqni waan kana hin fidin!” jedhan.
He will come and kill those tenants, and will give the vineyard to others.” And when the people heard this, they said, “May such a thing never happen!”
17 Yesuusis isaan ilaalee, akkana jedhe; “Egaa inni, “‘Dhagaan ijaartonni tuffatan dhagaa golee taʼeera jedhamee barreeffame maal jechuu isaati ree’?
But Jesus looked directly at them and said, “Then what is the meaning of that which is written: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone’?
18 Namni dhagaa sana irratti kufu hundinuu caccabee bututa; namni dhagichi irratti kufu kam iyyuu ni daakama.”
Everyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed.”
19 Barsiistonni seeraatii fi luboonni hangafoonni akka inni fakkeenya kana isaaniin mormuun dubbate waan beekaniif yeruma sana isa qabuu barbaadan. Garuu namoota sana sodaatan.
When the scribes and chief priests realized that Jesus had spoken this parable against them, they sought to arrest Him that very hour. But they were afraid of the people.
20 Jarris isa gaadaa, akka isaan waan inni dubbatuun isa qabanii dabarsanii humnaa fi taayitaa bulchaatti isa kennaniif jedhanii basaastota nama nagaa of fakkeessan ergan.
So they watched Him closely and sent spies who pretended to be sincere. They were hoping to catch Him in His words in order to hand Him over to the rule and authority of the governor.
21 Basaastonni sunis akkana jedhanii isa gaafatan; “Yaa Barsiisaa, nu akka ati waan qajeelaa dubbatuu fi waanuma qajeelaa barsiiftu, akkasumas akka ati dhugaadhaan karaa Waaqaa barsiisuu malee nama wal hin caalchifne beekna.
“Teacher,” they inquired, “we know that You speak and teach correctly. You show no partiality, but teach the way of God in accordance with the truth.
22 Qeesaariif gibira kaffaluun eeyyamameera moo hin eeyyamamne?”
Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”
23 Inni garuu haxxummaa isaanii argee akkana isaaniin jedhe;
But Jesus saw through their duplicity and said to them,
24 “Mee diinaarii tokko natti argisiisaa. Fakkii fi katabbii eenyuutu isa irra jira?” Isaanis, “Kan Qeesaar” jedhanii deebisan.
“Show Me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” “Caesar’s,” they answered.
25 Kana irratti inni, “Yoos kan Qeesaar Qeesaariif, kan Waaqaa immoo Waaqaaf kennaa” jedheen.
So Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”
26 Isaanis waan inni dubbateen fuula namootaa duratti isa qabuu hin dandeenye. Deebii isaas dinqisiifatanii calʼisan.
And they were unable to trap Him in His words before the people; and amazed at His answer, they fell silent.
27 Saduuqota duʼaa kaʼuun hin jiru jedhan keessaa tokko tokko waa gaafachuuf jedhanii gara Yesuus dhufan;
Then some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to question Him.
28 akkanas jedhan; “Yaa Barsiisaa yoo obboleessi nama tokkoo niitii fuudhee utuu ijoollee hin dhalchin duʼe, akka namichi sun niitii sana dhaalee ijoollee dhalchee obboleessa isaatiif sanyii dabarsu Museen nuu barreesseera.
“Teacher,” they said, “Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man is to marry his brother’s widow and raise up offspring for him.
29 Kunoo obboloota torbatu ture. Inni hangafni niitii fuudhee ijoollee malee duʼe.
Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a wife, but died childless.
30 Inni lammaffaan,
Then the second
31 inni sadaffaanis ishee fuudhan; haaluma wal fakkaatuun isaan torbanuu utuu ijoollee hin dhalchin duʼan.
and the third married the widow, and in the same way all seven died, leaving no children.
32 Dhuma irratti dubartittiinis ni duute.
And last of all, the woman died.
33 Egaa guyyaa duʼaa kaʼuutti isheen niitii isa kamii taati? Torban isaanii iyyuu ishee fuudhaniiruutii.”
So then, in the resurrection, whose wife will she be? For all seven were married to her.”
Jesus answered, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage. (aiōn g165)
35 Warri addunyaa dhufuuf jiruu fi duʼaa kaʼuu keessatti hirmaachuun isaanii malu garuu hin fuudhan; hin heerumanis. (aiōn g165)
But those who are considered worthy to share in the age to come and in the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage. (aiōn g165)
36 Isaan waan akka ergamootaa taʼaniif deebiʼanii hin duʼan; waan ijoollee duʼaa kaʼuu taʼaniifis isaan ijoollee Waaqaa ti.
In fact, they can no longer die, because they are like the angels. And since they are sons of the resurrection, they are sons of God.
37 Garuu Museen iyyuu seenaa waaʼee daggalaa keessatti akka warri duʼan duʼaa kaʼan argisiiseera; inni Gooftaadhaan, ‘Waaqa Abrahaam, Waaqa Yisihaaqii fi Waaqa Yaaqoob’jedhee waamaatii.
Even Moses demonstrates that the dead are raised, in the passage about the burning bush. For he calls the Lord ‘the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’
38 Inni Waaqa warra jiraataniiti malee Waaqa warra duʼanii miti; hundinuu isaaf jiraatoodhaatii.”
He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to Him all are alive.”
39 Barsiistota seeraa keessaa tokko tokko, “Yaa Barsiisaa, dhugaa jette!” jedhanii deebisan.
Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, You have spoken well!”
40 Namni tokko iyyuu deebiʼee gaaffii isa gaafachuuf ija hin jabaanne.
And they did not dare to question Him any further.
41 Yesuusis akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Isaan akkamitti Kiristoosilma Daawit jechuu dandaʼu?
Then Jesus declared, “How can it be said that the Christ is the Son of David?
42 Daawit mataan isaa iyyuu kitaaba faarfannaa keessatti akkana jedha; “‘Gooftichi Gooftaa kootiin akkana jedhe; “Karaa mirga koo taaʼi;
For David himself says in the book of Psalms: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand
43 hamma ani diinota kee, ejjeta miilla keetii siif godhutti.”’
until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”’
44 Daawit ‘Gooftaa’ jedhee isa waama. Yoos inni akkamitti ilma isaa taʼuu dandaʼa ree?”
Thus David calls Him ‘Lord.’ So how can He be David’s son?”
45 Utuu namoonni hundinuu isa dhagaʼaa jiranuu, Yesuus barattoota isaatiin akkana jedhe;
In the hearing of all the people, Jesus said to His disciples,
46 “Barsiistota seeraa irraa of eeggadhaa. Isaan uffata dhedheeraa uffatanii nanaannaʼuu fi gabaa keessattis nagaa gaafatamuu, manneen sagadaa keessatti taaʼumsa ulfinaa, lafa cidhaatti immoo iddoo ulfinaa jaallatu.
“Beware of the scribes. They like to walk around in long robes, and they love the greetings in the marketplaces, the chief seats in the synagogues, and the places of honor at banquets.
47 Isaanis mana haadha hiyyeessaa saamanii onsu; of argisiisuuf jedhaniis kadhannaa dheeressu. Namoonni kunneen adaba guddaa adabamu.”
They defraud widows of their houses, and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will receive greater condemnation.”
