Luqaas 7
1 Yesuus yeroo waan kana hundumaa namoota isa dhaggeeffachaa turanitti himee fixatetti, Qifirnaahom seene.
Now when He concluded all His sayings in the hearing of the people, He entered Capernaum.
2 Achis tajaajilaan ajajaa dhibbaa kan gooftaan isaa akka malee isa jaallatu tokko dhukkubsatee duʼuu gaʼee ture.
Well a certain centurion's slave, who was valuable to him, was sick and about to die.
3 Ajajaan dhibbaa sunis waaʼee Yesuus dhagaʼee akka inni dhufee garbicha isaa fayyisuuf maanguddoota Yihuudootaa isatti ergee kadhate.
So when he heard about Jesus, he sent elders of the Jews to Him, asking Him to come and rescue his slave.
4 Isaanis yommuu gara Yesuus dhufanitti akkana jedhanii jabeessanii isa kadhatan; “Ati waan kana isaaf gochuun namicha kanaaf ni mala;
And when they came to Jesus they started pleading earnestly with Him, saying that the one for whom He would do this was worthy,
5 inni saba keenya ni jaallataatii; mana sagadaas nuuf ijaareera.”
“Because he loves our nation, and he himself built our synagogue.”
6 Kanaafuu Yesuus isaan wajjin deeme. Yeroo inni manichatti dhiʼaatetti ajajaan dhibbaa sun akkana jedhee michoota isaa Yesuusitti erge; “Yaa gooftaa of hin rakkisin; ati bantii mana koo jala seenuun naaf hin maluutii.
So Jesus went with them. But when He was no longer far from the house, the centurion sent friends to Him, saying to Him: “Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy that you should come under my roof.
7 Sababiin ani ofii koo akka nama gara kee dhufuun maluufitti hin ilaaliniif iyyuu kanuma. Garuu dubbicha qofa dubbadhu; tajaajilaan koo ni fayyaatii.
In fact I did not even consider myself worthy to come to you. Just say a word and my servant will be healed;
8 Ani mataan koo iyyuu nama taayitaa jala jiruu dha; loltootas of jalaa qaba. Isa tokkoon, ‘Deemi’ nan jedha; innis ni deema; isa kaaniin immoo, ‘Kottu’ nan jedha; innis ni dhufa. Tajaajilaa kootiinis, ‘Waan kana hojjedhu’ nan jedha; innis ni hojjeta.”
because I also am a man placed under authority, having soldiers under me. I say to one, ‘Go!’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come!’ and he comes; and to my slave, ‘Do this!’ and he does.”
9 Yesuus yommuu waan kana dhagaʼetti isa dinqifate; namoota isa duukaa buʼaa turanittis garagalee, “Ani isinittin hima; ani amantii guddaa akkanaa Israaʼel keessatti iyyuu hin arganne” jedhe.
Well upon hearing these things Jesus marveled at him, and turning to the crowd following Him, He said, “I say to you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith!”
10 Yommuu namoonni ergamanii turan manatti deebiʼanitti garbichi sun fayyee isaan eege.
When those who were sent returned to the house they found that the slave who had been sick was well.
11 Yesuus ergasii magaalaa Naayin jedhamtu tokko dhaqe; barattoonni isaatii fi namoonni baayʼeenis isa wajjin dhaqan.
Now it happened on the next day that He went to a town called Nain, and many of His disciples went with Him, also a large crowd.
12 Yommuu inni karra magaalattiitti dhiʼaatetti jarri tokko nama duʼe tokko baatanii isatti dhufan; namichi duʼe sunis haadha isaatiif ilma tokkicha ture; haati isaas haadha hiyyeessaa turte. Namoonni magaalattii baayʼeenis ishee wajjin turan.
But as He approached the town gate, mercy, a dead man was being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow; a large crowd from the town was with her.
13 Gooftaanis yommuu ishee argetti naʼeefii, “Hin booʼin” jedheen.
When the Lord saw her He had compassion on her and said to her, “Don't cry!”
14 Innis itti dhiʼaatee wasaasaa reeffa sanaa tuqe; warri reeffa baatanis ni dhaabatan. Innis, “Gurbayyoo, ani siin nan jedhaa, kaʼi!” jedheen.
And advancing He took hold of the bier and the bearers stood still. Then He said, “Young man, to you I say, get up!”
15 Gurbaan duʼe sunis kaʼee taaʼee dubbachuu jalqabe; Yesuusis deebisee haadha isaatti isa kenne.
So the dead man sat up and began to talk! Yes, He gave him back to his mother.
16 Hundi isaanii ni sodaatan; “Raajiin guddaan nu keessaa argameera. Waaqnis saba isaa gargaaruuf dhufeera” jedhanii Waaqaaf ulfina kennan.
Fear took hold of all, and they began glorifying God, saying, “A great prophet has arisen among us!” and, “God has visited His people!”
17 Oduun waaʼee Yesuus kunis Yihuudaa guutuu fi biyya naannoo sana jiru hundumaa keessa faffacaʼe.
And this report about Him went throughout Judea, as well as all the surrounding region.
18 Barattoonni Yohannis waaʼee waan kana hundaa isatti himan. Yohannisis isaan keessaa nama lama ofitti waamee,
Then the disciples of John informed him about all these things.
19 “Inni dhufuuf jiru siʼi moo yookaan kan biraa eegganna?” jedhee gaafachuudhaaf Gooftaatti isaan erge.
And summoning a certain two of his disciples, John sent them to Jesus, saying, “Are you the Coming One, or should we look for another?”
20 Namoonni sunis yommuu gara Yesuus dhufanitti, “Yohannis cuuphaan, ‘Inni dhufuuf jiru sun siʼi moo yookaan kan biraa eegganna?’ jedhee gaafachuudhaaf sitti nu ergeera” jedhaniin.
When the men had come to Him, they said: “John the Baptizer has sent us to you, saying, ‘Are you the Coming One, or should we look for another?’”
21 Yesuusis yeruma sana namoota dhibee, dhukkubaa fi hafuura hamaa qaban hedduu fayyise; warra jaamaa turan baayʼeedhaafis agartuu deebise.
Well in that very hour He healed many from diseases and torments and malignant spirits, and to many blind He granted sight.
22 Innis akkana jedhee ergamoota sanaaf deebii kenne; “Deebiʼaatii waan argitanii fi waan dhageessan Yohannisitti himaa; jaamonni ni argu; warri naafatan ni deemu; warri lamxaaʼan ni qulqullaaʼu; warri duudan ni dhagaʼu; warri duʼan ni kaʼu; hiyyeeyyiifis wangeelli ni lallabama.
So in answer Jesus said to them: “Go and report to John the things you have seen and heard: that the blind regain sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, dead are raised, the poor are evangelized.
23 Namni natti hin gufanne kam iyyuu eebbifamaa dha.”
And, blessed is he who does not take offense at me!”
24 Erga ergamoonni Yohannis baʼanii qajeelanii booddee Yesuus akkana jedhee waaʼee Yohannis namootatti himuu jalqabe; “Isin maal arguuf gammoojjiitti gad baatan? Shambaqqoo qilleensi raasu moo?
Now when John's messengers had departed, He began to speak to the crowds about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to observe, a reed being shaken by the wind?
25 Yoos maal arguu baatan ree? Nama uffata miidhagaa uffate moo? Lakki, warri uffata miidhagaa uffatanii qananiidhaan jiraatan masaraawwan keessa jiru.
But what did you go out to see, a man clothed in soft garments? Really, those with gorgeous apparel and living in luxury are in palaces.
26 Garuu isin maal arguu baatan? Raajii moo? Eeyyee; ani isinittin hima; kan raajii iyyuu caalu.
But what did you go out to see, a prophet? Yes, I say to you, and much more than a prophet.
27 Kunis isa waaʼeen isaa akkana jedhamee barreeffamee dha: “‘Kunoo, ani ergamaa koo isa fuula kee duraan karaa kee qopheessu, fuula kee dura nan erga.’
This is he about whom it is written: ‘Take note, I am sending my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’
28 Ani isinittin hima; namoota dubartoota irraa dhalatan keessaa namni Yohannis cuuphaa caalu tokko iyyuu hin jiru; namni mootummaa Waaqaa keessatti nama hundumaa gad taʼe garuu isa ni caala.”
Further, I tell you that among those born of women there is no greater prophet than John the Baptizer; yet he who is least in the Kingdom of God is greater than he.”
29 Namoonni hundi, qaraxxoonni iyyuu waan harka Yohannisitti cuuphamanii turaniif yommuu dubbii Yesuus dhagaʼanitti, karaan Waaqaa qajeelaa taʼuu isaa mirkaneessan.
(When all the people, including the tax collectors, heard this, they declared God to be just, having been baptized with John's baptism.
30 Fariisonnii fi beektonni seeraa garuu sababii harka Yohannisitti hin cuuphaminiif kaayyoo Waaqni isaaniif qabu fudhachuu didan.
But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the counsel of God for themselves, not having been baptized by him.)
31 Yesuus itti fufee akkana jedhe; “Yoos ani namoota dhaloota kanaa maaliinan wal fakkeessuu dandaʼa ree? Isaan maal fakkaatu?
“To what then shall I compare the men of this generation, and to what are they similar?
32 Isaan akkuma ijoollee iddoo gabaa taaʼanii wal waamanii akkana jedhanii ti: “‘Nu ulullee isinii afuufne; isin garuu hin sirbine; faaruu booʼichaas faarsine; isin garuu hin boonye.’
They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling to one another, saying, ‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we mourned to you, and you did not cry.’
33 Yohannis cuuphaan yeroo dhufetti buddeena hin nyaatu, daadhii wayiniis hin dhugu tureetii; isin immoo, ‘Inni hafuura hamaa qaba’ jettu.
Because John the Baptizer came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon!’
34 Ilmi Namaa nyaachaa, dhugaas dhufe; isin immoo, ‘Kunoo albaadhessaa fi machaaʼaa, michuu qaraxxootaatii fi cubbamootaa’ jettu.
The Son of the Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Just look, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’
35 Ogummaan garuu ijoollee ishee hundumaan mirkaneeffamti.”
Still, by all her children wisdom is justified.”
36 Fariisota keessaa namichi tokko akka inni isa wajjin nyaatuuf Yesuusin affeere; innis mana Fariisichaa dhaqee maaddiitti dhiʼaate.
Then one of the Pharisees invited Him to eat with Him, so He entered the Pharisee's house and reclined.
37 Dubartiin cubbamtuun magaalaa sanaa tokkos yommuu akka Yesuus mana Fariisichaatti waa nyaachaa jiru bartetti bilqaaxxii albaasxiroositti shittoo qabattee dhufte.
But then, a woman in the town who was a sinner, when she found out that He was reclining in the Pharisee's house, she brought an alabaster flask of perfume,
38 Isheenis booʼaa dugda isaa duubaan miilla isaa bira dhaabattee imimmaan isheetiin miilla isaa jiisuu jalqabde. Rifeensa mataa isheetiinis miilla isaa haqxee, dhungattees miilla isaa shittoo dibde.
and as she stood behind Him at His feet weeping, she began to wet His feet with her tears and kept wiping them with the hair of her head; and she kept kissing His feet and anointing them with the perfume.
39 Fariisichi isa affeere sunis waan kana argee, “Namichi kun utuu raajii taʼee, dubartiin isa tuqxu kun eenyu akka taate, nama akkamiis akka taate ni beeka ture; isheen cubbamtuudhaatii” jedhee garaa isaa keessatti yaade.
Now as the Pharisee who had invited Him observed this, he was saying to himself, “If this man were a prophet, he would know who is touching him, including what sort of woman she is—because she is a sinner!”
40 Yesuus immoo, “Yaa Simoon, ani waanan sitti himu tokko qaba” jedheen. Innis, “Yaa barsiisaa natti himi” jedhe.
So Jesus reacted by saying to him, “Simon, I have something to say to you.” And he said, “Teacher, say on.”
41 Yesuusis akkana jedheen; “Namoonni lama nama maallaqa liqeessu tokko irraa maallaqa liqeeffatan. Inni tokko diinaarii dhibba shan liqeeffate; kaan immoo diinaarii shantama liqeeffate.
“A certain creditor had two debtors. One owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.
42 Jarri lachuu waan isaaf kaffalan dhabnaan dhiiseef. Egaa jara lamaan keessaa kamtu caalaa isa jaallata?”
And when they had no way to repay, he freely forgave them both. Now tell me, which of them will love him more?”
43 Simoonis deebisee, “Isa liqiin guddaan dhiifameef sana natti fakkaata” jedheen. Yesuusis, “Ati dhugaa dubbatte” isaan jedhe.
So Simon answered and said, “I suppose the one to whom he forgave more.” And He said to him, “You have judged correctly.”
44 Innis gara dubartittiitti garagalee Simooniin akkana jedhe; “Dubartii kana argitaa? Ani mana kee nan dhufe. Ati bishaan miillaa illee naaf hin kennine; isheen garuu imimmaan isheetiin miilla koo dhiqxee rifeensa mataa isheetiin haqxe.
Then He turned toward the woman and said to Simon: “Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with the hair of her head.
45 Ati na hin dhunganne; dubartiin kun garuu yeroo ani ol seenee jalqabdee miilla koo dhungachuu hin dhiifne.
You gave me no kiss, but she has not stopped kissing my feet since the time I came in.
46 Ati Zayitii iyyuu mataa koo hin dibne; isheen garuu miilla koo shittoo dibde.
You did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with perfume.
47 Kanaafuu ani sittin hima; sababii jaalalli ishee guddaa taʼeef cubbuun ishee baayʼeen sun isheef dhiifameera. Kan xinnoon dhiifameef garuu jaalalli isaa xinnoo dha.”
For this reason, I say to you, her many sins have been forgiven, because she loved much; but to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little.”
48 Yesuusis dubartittiidhaan, “Cubbuun kee siif dhiifameera” jedhe.
Then He said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”
49 Warri isa wajjin maaddiitti dhiʼaatanii turanis, “Namni cubbuu iyyuu namaa dhiisu kun eenyu?” jedhanii garaa isaaniitti yaaduu jalqaban.
The other recliners began to say within themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”
50 Yesuusis dubartittiidhaan, “Amantiin kee si fayyiseera; nagaan deemi” jedhe.
Then He said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go into peace.”
