Maatewos 15
1 Ergasii Fariisonnii fi barsiistonni seeraa tokko tokko Yerusaalemii gara Yesuus dhufanii,
Then came to Jesus Pharisees and Scribes that were from Jerusalem, and said:
2 “Barattoonni kee maaliif duudhaa maanguddootaa cabsu? Isaan yommuu buddeena nyaatanitti harka hin dhiqataniitii!” jedhan.
Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders, and wash not their hands when they eat bread?
3 Yesuusis akkana jedhee deebise; “Isinis maaliif duudhaa keessaniif jettanii ajaja Waaqaa cabsitu?
Jesus replied and said to them: Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God, on account of your tradition?
4 Waaqni, ‘Abbaa keetii fi haadha keetiif ulfina kenni; namni abbaa isaa yookaan haadha isaa arrabsu kam iyyuu haa ajjeefamu’jedheeraatii.
For God hath said: Honor thy father, and thy mother; and he that revileth his father or his mother, shall be put to death.
5 Isin garuu yoo namni kam iyyuu akka wanni silaa abbaa isaatiif yookaan haadha isaatiif kennamuu malu ‘Waaqaaf kennameera’ jedhee dubbate,
But ye say: Whosoever shall say to a father or to a mother, Be that my offering, by which ye get profit from me: then he must not honor his father or his mother.
6 inni waan sanaan abbaa isaatiif yookaan haadha isaatiif ulfina kennuu hin qabu jettu. Akkanaanis isin duudhaa keessaniif jettanii dubbii Waaqaa busheessitu.
And thus ye make void the word of God, for the sake of your tradition.
7 Yaa fakkeessitoota! Isaayyaas yommuu waaʼee keessan raajii dubbatetti sirrii ture; innis akkana jedhe:
Ye hypocrites, well did the prophet Isaiah prophesy of you, and say:
8 “‘Uumanni kun hidhii isaatiin na kabaja; garaan isaa garuu narraa fagoo jira.
This people honoreth me with the lips, but their heart is far from me.
9 Isaan akkanumaan na waaqeffatu; barsiisni isaaniis sirnuma namaa ti.’”
And in vain they pay me homage, while they teach doctrines that are the precepts of men.
10 Yesuusis tuuta sana ofitti waamee akkana jedheen; “Dhagaʼaa; hubadhaas.
And he called the multitudes, and said to them, Hear and understand.
11 Waan afaan namaa keessaa baʼutu nama xureessa malee wanni afaan namaa seenu nama hin xureessu.”
Not that which entereth the mouth, defileth a man; but that which proceedeth from the mouth, that defileth a man.
12 Ergasii barattoonni gara isaa dhufanii, “Ati akka Fariisonni dubbii kana dhagaʼanii mufatan beektaa?” jedhanii gaafatan.
Then came his disciples, and said to him: Knowest thou, that the Pharisees were offended when they heard that speech?
13 Innis deebisee akkana jedhe; “Biqiltuun abbaan koo inni samii irraa hin dhaabin hundinuu ni buqqifama.
And he replied, and said to them: Every plant, which my Father who is in heaven hath not planted, shall be eradicated.
14 Isaan dhiisaa; isaan qajeelchitoota jaamota. Jaamaan yoo jaamaa qajeelche, isaan lachuu boolla keessa buʼu.”
Let them alone: they are blind leaders of the blind. And if a blind man leadeth one blind, they will both fall into the ditch.
15 Phexrosis, “Mee hiikkaa fakkeenya kanaa nuu ibsi” jedheen.
And Simon Cephas answered and said to him: My Lord, explain to us this similitude.
16 Yesuus immoo akkana jedhee isaan gaafate; “Isinis hamma ammaatti hin hubattanii?
And he said to them: Are ye also, up to this time, without understanding?
17 Akka wanni afaan seenu kam iyyuu garaa seenee achumaan darbee dhagna keessaa baʼu hin argitanii?
Know ye not, that whatever entereth the mouth, passeth into the belly, and from there is ejected by purgation?
18 Wanni afaan namaatii baʼu garuu nama keessaa baʼa; namichas ni xureessa.
But that which proceedeth from the mouth, cometh from the heart: and that is what defileth a man.
19 Sababiin isaas yaadni hamaan jechuunis ajjeesuun, ejjummaan, halalummaan, hanni, sobaan dhugaa baʼuun, maqaa nama balleessuun garaa namaa keessaa baʼaatii.
For, from the heart proceed evil thoughts, adultery, murder, whoredom, theft, false testimony, reviling.
20 Wantoota kanneentu nama ‘xureessa’ malee utuu harka hin dhiqatin nyaachuun nama hin xureessu.”
These are the things that defile a man. But if a man eat while his hands are unwashed, he is not defiled.
21 Yesuusis iddoo sanaa kaʼee gara biyya Xiiroosii fi Siidoonaatti qajeele.
And Jesus departed from there, and went to the confines of Tyre and Sidon.
22 Kunoo, dubartiin Kanaʼaan tokko naannoo sanaa gara isaa dhuftee iyyaa, “Yaa Gooftaa, yaa Ilma Daawit, intalli koo hafuura hamaadhaan qabamtee akka malee dhiphachaa jirti; na maari!” jette.
And lo, a woman, a Canaanitess from those confines, came forth, calling out and saying: Compassionate me, my Lord, thou son of David: my daughter is grievously distressed by a demon.
23 Yesuus garuu deebii tokko illee hin kennineef. Barattoonni isaas gara isaa dhufanii, “Kunoo isheen iyyaa nu faana deemtiitii achi deebisi” jedhanii isa kadhatan.
But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and requested of him, and said: Send her away, for she crieth after us.
24 Inni immoo, “Ani hoolota mana Israaʼel kanneen badan sana qofaafan ergame” jedhee deebise.
But he answered and said to them: I am not sent, except to the sheep that have strayed from the house of Israel.
25 Dubartiin sunis dhuftee sagaddeefii, “Yaa Gooftaa na gargaari!” jette.
And she came, and worshipped him, and said: Help me, my Lord.
26 Innis, “Buddeena ijoollee fuudhanii saroota dura buusuun sirrii miti” jedhee deebise.
Jesus said to her: It is not proper, to take the bread of the children and throw it to the dogs.
27 Isheenis, “Eeyyee yaa Gooftaa, saroonni iyyuu hambaa maaddii gooftota isaanii irraa harcaʼu nyaatu” jettee deebifteef.
And she said: Even so, my Lord; yet the dogs eat of the fragments that fall from the tables of their masters, and live.
28 Yesuusis, “Dubartii nana, amantiin kee guddaa dha! Akkuma fedhii keetii siif haa taʼu” jedhee deebise. Intalli ishees saʼaatiidhuma sana fayyite.
Then Jesus said to her: O woman, great is thy faith: be it to thee, as thou desirest. And her daughter was cured from that hour.
29 Yesuus achii kaʼee gara Galaana Galiilaa dhaqe. Gaarattis ol baʼee taaʼe.
And Jesus departed from there, and came to the side of the sea of Galilee: and he ascended a mountain, and sat there.
30 Namoonni hedduunis warra okkolan, warra jaaman, warra naafatan, warra arrabni isaanii dubbachuu didee fi kanneen biraa hedduu fidanii miilla Yesuus jala kaaʼan; innis isaan fayyise.
And great multitudes came to him; and with them were the lame, and the blind, and the dumb, and the maimed, and many others: and they laid them at the feet of Jesus, and he healed them.
31 Namoonni sunis yommuu akka warri arrabni hin dubbanne dubbatan, warri naafatan fayyan, warri okkolan deeman, warra jaamaniif immoo akka iji isaanii baname arganitti ni dinqifatan. Waaqa Israaʼeliifis ulfina kennan.
So that the multitudes were amazed, when they saw the dumb speaking, and the maimed made whole, and the lame walking, and the blind seeing: and they praised the God of Israel.
32 Yesuus barattoota isaa ofitti waamee, “Ani namoota kanneeniif garaa nan laafa; isaan guyyaa sadii na bira turan; waan nyaatan tokko illee hin qaban. Akka isaan karaa irratti hin gaggabneefis ani agabuu isaanii gad isaan dhiisuu hin barbaadu” jedhe.
Then Jesus called his disciples, and said to them: I pity this multitude; for lo, these three days they have continued with me, and they have nothing to eat: and I am unwilling to send them away fasting, lest they faint by the way.
33 Barattoonni isaas deebisanii, “Buddeena tuuta guddaa akkanaa gaʼu gammoojjii kana keessatti eessaa argachuu dandeenya?” jedhan.
His disciples say to him: Whence can we get bread in the wilderness, to satisfy all this multitude?
34 Yesuus immoo, “Isin buddeena meeqa qabdu?” jedhee gaafate. Isaanis deebisanii, “Buddeena torbaa fi qurxummii xixinnoo muraasa qabna” jedhan.
Jesus said to them, How many loaves have ye? They said to him, Seven, and a few little fishes.
35 Innis akka namoonni sun lafa tataaʼan itti hime.
And he commanded the multitudes to recline on the ground.
36 Ergasii buddeena torbanii fi qurxummii sana fuudhee erga galateeffatee booddee kukkutee barattootatti kenne; isaanis namootaaf kennan.
And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to his disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitudes.
37 Isaan hundi nyaatanii quufan. Ergasiis barattoonni hambaa gundoo torba guutuu walitti qaban.
And they all ate, and were satisfied. And they took up the remains of fragments, seven full baskets.
38 Baayʼinni warra nyaataniis ijoollee fi dubartoota malee dhiira kuma afur ture.
And they that had eaten were four thousand men, besides women and children.
39 Yesuus erga tuuta sana of irraa geggeessee booddee bidiruu yaabbatee naannoo Magadaan dhaqe.
And when he had sent away the multitudes, he took ship, and came to the coasts of Magdala.
