Maatewos 11
1 Yesuus erga barattoota isaa kudha lamaaniif ajaja kennuu raawwatee booddee magaalaawwan Galiilaa keessatti barsiisuu fi lallabuuf jedhee achii kaʼee karaa isaa itti fufe.
And it came to pass when finished Jesus commanding the twelve disciples of Him, He departed from there to teach and to preach in the cities of them.
2 Yohannis mana hidhaa taaʼee yommuu waan Kiristoos hojjechaa ture dhagaʼetti barattoota isaa ergee,
And John having heard in the prison the works of the Christ, having sent (on account of *N(K)O*) of the disciples of him
3 “Inni dhufuuf jiru sun siʼi moo yookaan kan biraa eegganna?” jedhee isa gaafate.
said to Him; You yourself are the coming [One], or another are we to look for?
4 Yesuusis akkana jedhee deebiseef; “Deebiʼaatii waan dhageessanii fi waan argitan Yohannisitti himaa;
And answering Jesus said to them; Having gone do relate to John what you hear and see:
5 jaamonni ni argu; warri naafatan ni deemu; warri lamxaaʼan ni qulqullaaʼu; warri duudan ni dhagaʼu; warri duʼan ni kaʼu; hiyyeeyyiifis wangeelli ni lallabama.
Blind receive sight, and lame walk, lepers are cleansed, and deaf hear, (and *no*) dead are raised, and poor are evangelised;
6 Namni natti hin gufanne kam iyyuu eebbifamaa dha.”
And blessed is he who (only *NK(o)*) unless shall fall away in Me myself.
7 Akkuma barattoonni Yohannis baʼanii qajeelaniin, Yesuus akkana jedhee waaʼee Yohannis namootatti himuu jalqabe; “Isin maal arguuf gammoojjiitti gad baatan? Shambaqqoo qilleensi raasu moo?
As these now were going away began Jesus to speak to the crowds concerning John: What went you out into the wilderness to see? A reed by [the] wind shaken?
8 Yoos maal arguu baatan ree? Nama uffata miidhagaa uffate moo? Lakki, warri uffata miidhagaa uffatan masaraa moototaa jiru.
But what did you go out to see? A man in delicate (garments *k*) dressed? Behold those delicate [clothing] wearing in the houses (of kings *NK(o)*) are;
9 Yoos maal arguu baatan ree? 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 [one] more excellent than a prophet.
10 Kunis isa waaʼeen isaa akkana jedhamee barreeffamee dha. “‘Kunoo, ani ergamaa koo isa fuula kee duraan karaa kee qopheessu, si dura nan erga.’
For this (for *ko*) is [he] concerning whom it has been written: Behold I myself send the messenger of Mine before [the] face of You who will prepare the way of You before You.’
11 Ani dhuguma isinittin hima; namoota dubartoota irraa dhalatan keessaa namni Yohannis Cuuphaa caalu tokko iyyuu hin kaane; namni mootummaa samii keessatti nama hundumaa gad taʼe kam iyyuu garuu isa ni caala.
Amen I say to you; not has been raised among [those] born of women one greater than John the Baptist; Yet the least in the kingdom of the heavens greater than he is.
12 Mootummaan samii bara Yohannis Cuuphaatii jalqabee hamma ammaatti humnaan dhiibbachaa jira; namoonni dhiibbatanis humnaan mootummaa sana argatu.
From then the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of the heavens is taken by violence, and [the] violent claim it.
13 Raajonni hundinuu, Seerris hamma Yohannis Cuuphaatti raajii dubbataniiruutii.
All for the prophets and the law until John prophesied.
14 Isinis kana fudhachuuf yoo fedhii qabaattan, inni Eeliyaas isa dhufuuf jiruu dha.
And if you are willing to receive [it], he himself is Elijah who is being about to come.
15 Namni gurra dhagaʼu qabu haa dhagaʼu.
The [one] having ears he should hear.
16 “Ani dhaloota kana maaliinan wal fakkeessuu dandaʼa? Isaan akkuma ijoollee iddoo gabaa taaʼanii warra kaan waamanii akkana jedhanii ti:
To what however will I compare generation this? Like it is (children *N(k)O*) sitting in (the *no*) markets (who *N(K)O*) (calling out *N(k)O*) (to others *N(K)O*) (of them *k*)
17 “‘Nu ulullee isinii afuufne; isin garuu hin sirbine; faaruu booʼichaas faarsine; isin garuu hin boonye.’
(and *k*) saying: We piped for you and not you did dance, we sang a dirge (to you *k*) and not you did wail.
18 Yohannis yeroo dhufetti hin nyaatu, hin dhugus tureetii; isaan immoo, ‘Inni hafuura hamaa qaba’ jedhu.
Came for John neither eating nor drinking, and they say; A demon he has!
19 Ilmi Namaa nyaachaa, dhugaas dhufe; isaan immoo, ‘Kunoo albaadhessaa fi machaaʼaa, michuu qaraxxootaatii fi cubbamootaa’ jedhu. Ogummaan garuu hojii isheetiin mirkaneeffamti.”
Came the Son of Man eating and drinking, and they say; Behold a man a glutton and a drunkard, of tax collectors a friend and of sinners! But is justified wisdom by the (deeds *N(K)O*) of her.
20 Ergasii Yesuus sababii magaalaawwan inni itti hojii dinqii isaa gara caalu hojjete sun qalbii hin jijjiirratiniif akkana jedhee isaan balaaleffachuu jalqabe.
Then He began to denounce the cities in which had taken place the most miracles of Him because not they repented;
21 “Yaa Koraaziin siif wayyoo! Yaa Beetisayidaa siif wayyoo! Hojiin dinqii isin keessatti hojjetame sun utuu Xiiroosii fi Siidoonaa keessatti hojjetamee jiraatee, isaan silaa yeroo dheeraan dura uffata gaddaa uffatanii, daaraas ofitti firfirsanii qalbii jijjiirratu turan.
Woe to you Chorazin! Woe to you Bethsaida! For if in Tyre and Sidon had taken place the miracles which having come to pass in you, long ago then would in sackcloth and ashes they have repented.
22 Ani garuu isinittin hima; guyyaa murtiitti isin irra Xiiroosii fi Siidoonaaf ni salphata.
But I say to you; for Tyre and Sidon more tolerable will it be in [the] day of judgment than for you.
23 Atis yaa Qifirnaahom, hamma samiitti ol kaafamtaa? Lakki, siiʼoolitti gad buuta. Hojiin dinqii kan si keessatti hojjetame sun utuu Sodoom keessatti hojjetamee jiraatee, isheen silaa hamma harʼaatti ni jiraatti turte. (Hadēs g86)
And you yourself Capernaum, (surely not *N(K)O*) to (*k*) heaven (will be exalted? *N(k)O*) to Hades (will go down! *N(k)O*) For if in Sodom (happened *N(k)O*) the miracles that were happening in you, (it remained *N(k)O*) then would until the day. (Hadēs g86)
24 Ani garuu sittin hima; guyyaa murtiitti sirra Sodoomiif ni salphata.”
But I say to you that for [the] land of Sodom more tolerable will it be in day of judgment than for you.
25 Yesuus yeroo sana akkana jedhe; “Yaa Abbaa, Gooftaa samiitii fi lafaa, sababii ati wantoota kanneen ogeeyyii fi hubattoota jalaa dhoksitee daaʼimmanitti mulʼifteef ani sin galateeffadha.
At that [very] time answering Jesus said; I fully consent to You, Father Lord of the heaven and the earth, for (You did hide *N(k)O*) these things from wise and learned and did reveal them to little children.
26 Eeyyee yaa Abbaa, ati waan kana gochuutti gammaddeertaatii.
Yes O Father, for thus well-pleasing it was before You.
27 “Abbaan koo waan hunda dabarsee natti kenneera. Abbaa malee namni tokko iyyuu Ilma hin beeku; Ilmaa fi nama Ilmi isa itti mulʼisuu fedhu malee namni tokko iyyuu Abbaa hin beeku.
All things to Me was delivered by the Father of Mine, And no [one] knows the Son only except the Father, nor the Father anyone does know only except the Son and to whom if shall choose the Son to reveal [Him].
28 “Isin dadhabdoonni, warri baʼaan isinitti ulfaate hundinuu gara koo kottaa; ani isinan boqochiisa.
Come to Me all you who [are] toiling and burdened, and I myself and I myself will give rest to you.
29 Waanjoo koo baadhaa; narraas baradhaa; waan ani garraamii fi gad of qabeessa taʼeef isin lubbuu keessaniif boqonnaa ni argattu.
do take the yoke of Mine upon you and do learn from Me for gentle I am and humble in heart, and you will find rest for the souls of you.
30 Waanjoon koo laafaa dha; baʼaan koos salphaa dha.”
The for yoke of Mine [is] easy and the burden of Mine light is.
