Maatewos 13
1 Guyyuma sana Yesuus manaa baʼee galaana bira taaʼe.
On that day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the sea,
2 Tuunni namootaa guddaan naannoo isaatti walitti qabame; utuu namoonni hundi qarqara galaanichaa dhadhaabachaa jiranuu, inni bidiruu yaabbatee taaʼe.
and large crowds gathered around him. So he got into the boat and sat down, while the entire crowd stood on the shore.
3 Innis akkana jedhee waan baayʼee fakkeenyaan isaanitti hime; “Kunoo, namichi sanyii facaasu tokko sanyii facaafachuu baʼe.
Then he told them many things in parables, saying, “Behold, a sower went out to sow.
4 Utuu inni facaasaa jiruus sanyiin tokko tokko karaa irra buʼe; simbirroonnis dhufanii nyaatanii fixan.
As he sowed, some seeds fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured them.
5 Kaan immoo lafa kattaa, iddoo biyyoo baayʼee hin qabne irra buʼe. Sanyiin sunis sababii biyyoon sun gad fageenya hin qabaatiniif dafee biqile.
Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil, and they sprang up immediately because they had no depth of soil.
6 Yommuu aduun baatetti garuu biqiltuun sun ni coollage; waan hidda hin qabaatiniifis ni goge.
But when the sun rose, they were scorched. And because they had no root, they withered away.
7 Sanyiin biraas qoraattii keessa buʼe; qoraattiin sunis guddatee biqiltuu sana hudhe.
Other seeds fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them.
8 Ammas sanyiin kaan biyyoo gaarii irra buʼee achitti ija naqate; garri tokko dachaa dhibba, kaan dachaa jaatama, kaan immoo dachaa soddoma naqate.
But other seeds fell on good soil and produced fruit, some a hundred, some sixty, and some thirty times more than what was sown.
9 Namni gurra qabu kam iyyuu haa dhagaʼu.”
He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
10 Barattoonnis gara isaa dhufanii, “Ati maaliif fakkeenyaan namootatti dubbatta?” jedhanii isa gaafatan.
Then the disciples came and said to him, “Why do yoʋ speak to the people in parables?”
11 Innis akkana jedhee deebiseef; “Icciitii mootummaa samii beekuun isiniif kennameera; isaaniif garuu hin kennamne.
Jesus answered them, “To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given.
12 Kan qabu kamiif iyyuu itti dabalamee ni kennama; irraa hafaas ni qabaata. Kan hin qabne garuu wanni inni qabu iyyuu irraa fudhatama.
For whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. But whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.
13 Wanni ani akkana jedhee fakkeenyaan isaanitti dubbadhuufis kana: “Isaan utuma ilaalanuu hin argan; utuma dhaggeeffatanuus hin dhagaʼan yookaan hin hubatan.
That is why I speak to them in parables, because ‘they see but do not perceive, and they hear but do not listen or understand.’
14 Raajiin Isaayyaas dubbate sun isaan irratti raawwatameera; innis akkana jedha: “‘Dhagaʼuu inuma dhageessu; garuu hin hubattan; ilaaluus inuma ilaaltu; garuu hin qalbeeffattan.
In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which says, ‘Yoʋ will hear but never understand, and you will see but never perceive.
15 Qalbiin saba kanaa doomeeraatii; gurri isaanii sirriitti hin dhagaʼu; ija isaaniis dunuunfataniiru. Utuu akkas taʼuu baatee silaa ija isaaniitiin arganii, gurra isaaniitiin dhagaʼanii, qalbii isaaniitiinis hubatanii ni deebiʼu turan; anis isaan nan fayyisa ture.’
For the heart of this people has become dull; with their ears they have barely heard, and their eyes they have closed, lest they should see with their eyes, hear with their ears, and understand with their hearts and turn back, and I would heal them.’
16 Iji keessan garuu waan arguuf eebbifamaa dha; gurri keessanis waan dhagaʼuuf eebbifamaa dha.
But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear.
17 Ani dhuguma isinittin himaatii; raajonnii fi qajeeltonni baayʼeen waan isin argitan kana arguu hawwan; garuu hin argine; waan isin dhageessan kanas dhagaʼuu hawwan; garuu hin dhageenye.
For truly I say to you, many prophets and righteous people desired to see the things you see but did not see them, and to hear the things you hear but did not hear them.
18 “Egaa fakkeenyi namicha sanyii facaasuu maal akka taʼe dhagaʼaa:
“So hear me and undersand what the parable of the sower means:
19 Yoo namni kam iyyuu dubbii mootummichaa dhagaʼee hubachuu baate, inni hamaan sun dhufee waan garaa isaa keessatti facaafame sana butata. Kun sanyii karaa irratti facaafamee dha.
When anyone hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is the seed sown along the path.
20 Sanyiin lafa kattaa irratti facaafame, nama dubbicha dhagaʼee yommusuma gammachuun fudhatuu dha.
The seed sown on rocky ground is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy.
21 Garuu inni waan hidda hin qabneef yeroo gabaabaa qofa tura. Yeroo rakkinni yookaan ariʼatamni sababii dubbichaatiif dhufutti inni dafee gufata.
Yet he has no root in himself, but is only temporary. When tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, he immediately falls away.
22 Sanyiin qoraattii keessatti facaafame sunis nama dubbicha dhagaʼu argisiisa; garuu yaaddoon addunyaa kanaatii fi gowwoomsaan qabeenyaa dubbicha hudhee ija naqachuu dhowwa. (aiōn g165)
The seed sown among the thorns is he who hears the word, but the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
23 Sanyiin biyyoo gaarii irratti facaafame garuu nama dubbicha dhagaʼee hubatu argisiisa. Innis ija kenna; garri tokko dhibba, kaan jaatama, kaan immoo soddoma naqata.”
But the seed sown on the good soil is he who hears the word and understands it, who bears fruit and produces a hundred, sixty, or thirty times more than what was sown.”
24 Yesuus akkana jedhee fakkeenya biraa isaanitti hime; “Mootummaan samii nama lafa qotiisaa isaa keessatti sanyii gaarii facaafate tokko fakkaata.
Jesus presented another parable to them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven can be compared to a person who sowed good seed in his field,
25 Garuu utuu namoonni rafanuu diinni isaa dhufee qamadii keessatti inkirdaada facaasee deeme.
but while people were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and then went away.
26 Yeroo qamadiin sun guddatee ija naqatetti inkirdaadnis ni mulʼate.
When the plants sprouted and produced grain, the tares also appeared.
27 “Garboonni abbaa lafa qotiisaa sanaas gara isaa dhufanii, ‘Gooftaa, ati lafa qotiisaa kee keessatti sanyii gaarii hin facaafnee? Yoos inkirdaadni eessaa dhufe ree?’ jedhaniin.
So the servants of the master of the house came and said to him, ‘Master, did yoʋ not sow good seed in yoʋr field? How then does it have tares?’
28 “Innis deebisee, ‘Diinatu kana hojjete’ jedhe. “Garboonnis, ‘Akka nu dhaqnee buqqifnu ni barbaaddaa?’ jedhanii isa gaafatan.
He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ So the servants said to him, ‘Do yoʋ want us to go and gather them up?’
29 “Namichi garuu akkana jedhee deebiseef; ‘Lakki, utuu inkirdaada buqqiftanuu, akka isa wajjin qamadii hin buqqifneef dhiisaa.
He said, ‘No, lest in gathering the tares you uproot the wheat with them.
30 Hamma yeroo haamaatti lachanuu walumaan haa guddatan. Anis yeroo sana warra midhaan haamaniin, “Jalqabatti inkirdaada sana buqqisaa; akka gubamuufis bissii bissiidhaan hidhaa; qamadii garuu walitti qabaatii gombisaa kootti naa naqaa” jedhee isaanitti nan hima.’”
Let them both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, “Gather the tares first and bind them into bundles to burn them up, but gather the wheat into my barn.”’”
31 Innis akkana jedhee fakkeenya biraa isaanitti hime; “Mootummaan samii sanyii sanaaficaa kan namni fuudhee lafa qotiisaa isaa keessatti facaase tokko fakkaata.
He presented another parable to them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his field.
32 Inni dhugumaan sanyii hunda irra xinnaa dha; erga guddatee garuu biqiltuu hunda caalee muka taʼa; simbirroonnis dhufanii dameewwan isaa irra jiraatu.”
Although it is the smallest of all seeds, it grows larger than the other garden plants and becomes a tree, and the birds of the sky come and nest in its branches.”
33 Amma illee akkana jedhee fakkeenya biraa isaanitti hime; “Mootummaan samii raacitii dubartiin tokko fuutee hamma inni guutummaatti bukeessutti daakuu safartuu sadiitti makte fakkaata.”
He spoke to them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like leaven that a woman took and mixed into three measures of flour until it had all been leavened.”
34 Yesuus waan kana hundumaa fakkeenyaan namootatti dubbate; innis fakkeenyaan malee waan tokko illee isaanitti hin dubbanne.
All these things Jesus spoke to the crowds in parables; he did not speak to them without using a parable.
35 Kunis akka wanni raajichi, “Ani fakkeenyaan afaan koo nan banadha; waan gaafa addunyaan uumamee jalqabee dhokfames nan dubbadha” jedhe sun raawwatamuuf taʼe.
This was to fulfill what had been spoken through the prophet: “I will open my mouth in parables; I will declare things hidden from the foundation of the world.”
36 Yesuusis tuuta namootaa achumatti dhiisee mana ol seene. Barattoonni isaas gara isaa dhufanii, “Hiikkaa fakkeenya inkirdaada lafa qotiisaa keessaa sana nutti himi” jedhaniin.
Then Jesus left the crowds and went into the house, and his disciples came to him and said, “Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field.”
37 Innis akkana jedhee deebise; “Namichi sanyii gaarii facaase sun Ilma Namaa ti.
So he said to them in response, “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man.
38 Lafti qotiisaa sun addunyaa dha; sanyiin gaariinis ijoollee mootummichaa ti. Inkirdaadni sun ijoollee isa hamaa sanaa ti;
The field is the world, and the good seeds are the sons of the kingdom. The tares are the sons of the evil one,
39 diinni inkirdaada facaase immoo diiyaabiloos dha. Haamaan dhuma addunyaa ti; warri haaman immoo ergamoota Waaqaa ti. (aiōn g165)
and the enemy who sowed them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels. (aiōn g165)
40 “Akkuma inkirdaadni walitti qabamee ibiddaan gubamu sana, dhuma addunyaattis akkasuma taʼa. (aiōn g165)
Therefore, just as the tares are gathered and burned with fire, so it will be at the end of this age. (aiōn g165)
41 Ilmi Namaa ergamoota isaa ni erga; isaanis waan cubbuutti nama geessu hundaa fi warra waan hamaa hojjetan hunda mootummaa isaa keessaa baasanii walitti qabu.
The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all stumbling blocks and those who practice lawlessness.
42 Boolla ibiddaattis isaan darbatu; achittis wawwaannaa fi ilkaan qaruutu taʼa.
They will throw them into the fiery furnace. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
43 Yeroo sana qajeeltonni mootummaa Abbaa isaanii keessatti akka aduu ni ifu. Namni gurra qabu haa dhagaʼu.
Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
44 “Mootummaan samii qabeenya lafa qotiisaa keessa dhokfame fakkaata. Namni tokkos qabeenya kana argatee deebisee dhokse; innis waan gammadeef dhaqee waan qabu hunda gurguree lafa qotiisaa sana bitate.
“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid again, and in his joy he went and sold all that he had and bought the field.
45 “Akkasumas mootummaan samii daldalaa lula gaarii barbaadu tokko fakkaata.
“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking fine pearls.
46 Daldalaan sunis lula gatii guddaa tokko argate; innis dhaqee waan qabu hundumaa gurguree lula sana bitate.
When he found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had and bought it.
47 “Akkasumas mootummaan samii kiyyoo galaanatti darbatamee qurxummii gosa hundaa walitti qabe fakkaata.
“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet that was cast into the sea, catching all kinds of fish.
48 Yeroo kiyyoon sun guutamettis qurxummii qabdoonni gara qarqara galaanaatti isa harkisan. Ergasiis tataaʼanii qurxummii gaarii filanii qodaa isaaniitti naqatan; qurxummii gadhee immoo ni gatan.
When it was full, the fishermen drew it to shore. Then they sat down and put the good fish into containers, but the bad ones they threw away.
49 Dhuma addunyaattis akkasuma taʼa. Ergamoonni dhufanii warra hamoo warra qajeeltota irraa gargar baasu; (aiōn g165)
So it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come and separate the evil from the righteous (aiōn g165)
50 boolla ibiddaattis isaan darbatu; achittis wawwaannaa fi ilkaan qaruutu taʼa.”
and throw them into the fiery furnace. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
51 Yesuusis, “Waan kana hunda hubattaniirtuu?” jedhee isaan gaafate. Isaanis, “Eeyyee” jedhanii deebisan.
Jesus said to them, “Do you understand all these things?” They said to him, “Yes, Lord.”
52 Innis, “Kanaafuu barsiisaan seeraa kan barataa mootummaa samii taʼe kam iyyuu abbaa manaa kan qabeenya haaraa fi moofaa mana miʼa isaa keessaa gad baasu tokko fakkaata” jedheen.
Then he said to them, “Every scribe that has been trained as a disciple for the kingdom of heaven is like a master of a house who brings out of his treasure things new and old.”
53 Yesuus erga fakkeenya kana dubbatee raawwatee booddee achii kaʼee deeme.
When Jesus had finished these parables, he departed from there.
54 Innis gara magaalaa itti dhalatee dhaqee mana sagadaa isaanii keessatti namoota barsiisuu jalqabe; isaanis ni dinqisiifatan. Akkana jedhaniis gaafatan; “Namichi kun ogummaa kanaa fi hojiiwwan dinqii kanneen eessaa argate?
Then he went to his hometown and taught the people in their synagogue. They were astonished and said, “Where did this man get this wisdom and these miraculous powers?
55 Inni ilma namicha muka soofu sanaati mitii? Maqaan haadha isaas Maariyaam mitii? Obboloonni isaas Yaaqoob, Yoosef, Simoonii fi Yihuudaa mitii?
Is this not the carpenter's son? Is not his mother's name Mary, and are not his brothers James, Joses, Simon, and Judas?
56 Obboleettonni isaa hundinuu nu bira jiru mitii? Yoos namichi kun waan kana hundumaa eessaa argate?”
Are not all his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all these things?”
57 Isaanis isatti gufatan. Yesuus garuu, “Raajiin magaalaa itti dhalatee fi mana isaatti malee kabaja hin dhabu” jedheen.
And they took offense at him. Then Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown and in his own household.”
58 Innis sababii amantii dhabuu isaaniitiif hojii dinqii hedduu achitti hin hojjenne.
And he did not do many miracles there because of their unbelief.
