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 Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities.
2 Yohannis mana hidhaa taaʼee yommuu waan Kiristoos hojjechaa ture dhagaʼetti barattoota isaa ergee,
Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples,
3 “Inni dhufuuf jiru sun siʼi moo yookaan kan biraa eegganna?” jedhee isa gaafate.
And said to him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?
4 Yesuusis akkana jedhee deebiseef; “Deebiʼaatii waan dhageessanii fi waan argitan Yohannisitti himaa;
Jesus answered and said to them, Go and show John again those things which ye 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.
The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.
6 Namni natti hin gufanne kam iyyuu eebbifamaa dha.”
And blessed is [he] to whom I shall not be the cause of his falling into sin.
7 Akkuma barattoonni Yohannis baʼanii qajeelaniin, Yesuus akkana jedhee waaʼee Yohannis namootatti himuu jalqabe; “Isin maal arguuf gammoojjiitti gad baatan? Shambaqqoo qilleensi raasu moo?
And as they departed, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? a reed shaken with the wind?
8 Yoos maal arguu baatan ree? Nama uffata miidhagaa uffate moo? Lakki, warri uffata miidhagaa uffatan masaraa moototaa jiru.
But what went ye out to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they that wear soft [clothing] are in kings' houses.
9 Yoos maal arguu baatan ree? Raajii moo? Eeyyee; ani isinittin hima; kan raajii iyyuu caalu.
But what went ye out to see? A prophet? yes, I say to you, and more 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 is [he] concerning whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.
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.
Verily, I say to you, among them that are born of women, there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding, he that is least in the kingdom of heaven, is greater than he.
12 Mootummaan samii bara Yohannis Cuuphaatii jalqabee hamma ammaatti humnaan dhiibbachaa jira; namoonni dhiibbatanis humnaan mootummaa sana argatu.
And from the days of John the Baptist, until now, the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.
13 Raajonni hundinuu, Seerris hamma Yohannis Cuuphaatti raajii dubbataniiruutii.
For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
14 Isinis kana fudhachuuf yoo fedhii qabaattan, inni Eeliyaas isa dhufuuf jiruu dha.
And if ye will receive [it], this is Elijah who was to come.
15 Namni gurra dhagaʼu qabu haa dhagaʼu.
He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
16 “Ani dhaloota kana maaliinan wal fakkeessuu dandaʼa? Isaan akkuma ijoollee iddoo gabaa taaʼanii warra kaan waamanii akkana jedhanii ti:
But to what shall I liken this generation? It is like to children sitting in the markets, and calling to their fellows,
17 “‘Nu ulullee isinii afuufne; isin garuu hin sirbine; faaruu booʼichaas faarsine; isin garuu hin boonye.’
And saying, We have piped to you, and ye have not danced; We have mourned to you, and ye have not lamented.
18 Yohannis yeroo dhufetti hin nyaatu, hin dhugus tureetii; isaan immoo, ‘Inni hafuura hamaa qaba’ jedhu.
For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a demon.
19 Ilmi Namaa nyaachaa, dhugaas dhufe; isaan immoo, ‘Kunoo albaadhessaa fi machaaʼaa, michuu qaraxxootaatii fi cubbamootaa’ jedhu. Ogummaan garuu hojii isheetiin mirkaneeffamti.”
The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold, a man gluttonous, and a wine-bibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified by her children.
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 upbraid the cities in which most of his mighty works had been done, because they repented not.
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 thee, Chorazin; woe to thee, Bethsaida: for if the mighty works which have been done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
22 Ani garuu isinittin hima; guyyaa murtiitti isin irra Xiiroosii fi Siidoonaaf ni salphata.
But I say to you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at 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 thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. (Hadēs g86)
24 Ani garuu sittin hima; guyyaa murtiitti sirra Sodoomiif ni salphata.”
But I say to you, that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom, in the day of judgment, than for thee.
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 time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to babes.
26 Eeyyee yaa Abbaa, ati waan kana gochuutti gammaddeertaatii.
Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in thy sight.
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 are delivered to me by my Father; and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and [he] to whomsoever the Son will reveal [him].
28 “Isin dadhabdoonni, warri baʼaan isinitti ulfaate hundinuu gara koo kottaa; ani isinan boqochiisa.
Come to me, all [ye] that labor, and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Waanjoo koo baadhaa; narraas baradhaa; waan ani garraamii fi gad of qabeessa taʼeef isin lubbuu keessaniif boqonnaa ni argattu.
Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me: for I am meek and lowly in heart; and ye shall find rest to your souls.
30 Waanjoon koo laafaa dha; baʼaan koos salphaa dha.”
For my yoke [is] easy, and my burden is light.
