Maatewos 19
1 Yesuus erga dubbii kana dubbatee fixatee booddee, Galiilaadhaa kaʼee gama Yordaanos gara biyya Yihuudaa dhaqe.
When Jesus had finished saying these things, He left Galilee and went into the region of Judea beyond the Jordan.
2 Namoonni baayʼeenis isa duukaa buʼan; innis achitti isaan fayyise.
Large crowds followed Him, and He healed them there.
3 Fariisonni tokko tokkos isa qoruuf gara isaa dhufanii, “Namni tokko waanuma argeen niitii isaa hiikuun ni eeyyamamaa?” jedhanii gaafatan.
Then some Pharisees came and tested Him by asking, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason?”
4 Yesuusis akkana jedhee deebise; “Isin akka inni jalqabatti isaan uume sun, ‘dhiiraa fi dubartii taasisee isaan uume’hin dubbifnee?
Jesus answered, “Have you not read that from the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’
5 Inni akkana jedhe; ‘Sababii kanaaf namni abbaa fi haadha isaa dhiisee niitii isaatti maxxana; lamaan isaanii iyyuu foon tokko taʼu.’
and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’?
6 Egaa isaan siʼachi foon tokko malee lama miti. Kanaafuu waan Waaqni tokko taasise namni gargar hin baasin.”
So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.”
7 Isaanis, “Yoos Museen maaliif akka namni tokko waraqaa ragaa hiikkaa kenneefii niitii isaa of irraa geggeessu ajaje ree?” jedhanii isa gaafatan.
“Why then,” they asked, “did Moses order a man to give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?”
8 Yesuusis akkana jedhee deebise; “Museen sababii mata jabina keessaniitiif jedhee akka isin niitota keessan hiiktan isiniif eeyyame. Jalqabatti garuu akkana hin turre.
Jesus replied, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because of your hardness of heart; but it was not this way from the beginning.
9 Ani isinittin hima; namni utuu isheen halalummaa hin hojjetin niitii isaa hiikee dubartii biraa fuudhu kam iyyuu ejja raawwata.”
Now I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman, commits adultery.”
10 Barattoonni isaas, “Haalli dhirsaa fi niitii akkana taanaan fuudhuu dhiisuu wayya” jedhaniin.
His disciples said to Him, “If this is the case between a man and his wife, it is better not to marry.”
11 Yesuusis akkana jedheen; “Waan kana warra isaaniif kenname qofa malee namni hundi fudhachuu hin dandaʼu.
“Not everyone can accept this word,” He replied, “but only those to whom it has been given.
12 Warri xuʼaashii taʼanii gadameessa haadha isaaniitii dhalatan jiruutii; warri harka namaatiin xuʼaashii taʼanis jiru; kanneen mootummaa samiitiif jedhanii xuʼaashii of taasisanis jiru; namni kana fudhachuu dandaʼu haa fudhatu.”
For there are eunuchs who were born that way; others were made that way by men; and still others live like eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it.”
13 Ergasii akka inni harka isaan irra kaaʼee isaaniif kadhatuuf ijoollee xixinnoo Yesuusitti fidan. Barattoonni garuu isaan ifatan.
Then the little children were brought to Jesus for Him to place His hands on them and pray for them. And the disciples rebuked those who brought them.
14 Yesuusis, “Ijoolleen xixinnoon gara koo haa dhufaniitii hin dhowwinaa; mootummaan samii kan warra akkanaatii” jedhe.
But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them! For the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”
15 Innis erga harka isaa isaan irra kaaʼee booddee achii deeme.
And after He had placed His hands on them, He went on from there.
16 Kunoo namichi tokko gara Yesuus dhufee, “Yaa barsiisaa, jireenya bara baraa argachuuf wanni gaariin ani gochuu qabu maali?” jedhee gaafate. (aiōnios g166)
Just then a man came up to Jesus and inquired, “Teacher, what good thing must I do to obtain eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
17 Yesuus immoo, “Ati maaliif waaʼee waan gaarii na gaafatta? Gaariin Isa Tokkicha qofatu jira. Ati yoo jireenyatti galuu barbaadde ajajawwan eegi” jedhee deebise.
“Why do you ask Me about what is good?” Jesus replied. “There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, keep the commandments.”
18 Namichis, “Ajajawwan kami?” jedhee gaafate. Yesuus immoo akkana jedhee deebise; “‘Hin ajjeesin; hin ejjin; hin hatin; sobaan dhugaa hin baʼin;
“Which ones?” the man asked. Jesus answered, “‘Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not bear false witness,
19 abbaa keetii fi haadha kee kabaji; ollaa kee akkuma ofii keetiitti jaalladhu.’”
honor your father and mother, and love your neighbor as yourself.’”
20 Dargaggeessi sunis, “Ani ajajawwan kanneen hunda eegeera. Yoos maaltu amma iyyuu na duraa hirʼata ree?” jedheen.
“All these I have kept,” said the young man. “What do I still lack?”
21 Yesuusis, “Ati yoo nama hirʼina hin qabne taʼuu barbaadde, dhaqiitii waan qabdu gurgurii hiyyeeyyiif kenni; samii keessatti badhaadhummaa ni qabaattaa. Ergasii kottuu na duukaa buʼi” jedhee deebiseef.
Jesus told him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me.”
22 Dargaggeessi sunis yommuu waan kana dhagaʼetti gaddee achii deeme; inni qabeenya guddaa qaba tureetii.
When the young man heard this, he went away in sorrow, because he had great wealth.
23 Yesuusis barattoota isaatiin akkana jedhe; “Ani dhuguma isinittin hima; mootummaa samiitti galuun nama sooressaaf rakkisaa dha.
Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.
24 Ammas isinittin hima; namni sooressi mootummaa Waaqaatti galuu irra qaawwa lilmoo keessa baʼuutu gaalaaf salphata.”
Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”
25 Barattoonni yommuu waan kana dhagaʼanitti akka malee raajeffatanii, “Yoos eenyutu fayyuu dandaʼa ree?” jedhanii gaafatan.
When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, “Who then can be saved?”
26 Yesuusis isaan ilaalee, “Kun namaaf hin dandaʼamu; Waaqaaf garuu wanni hundinuu ni dandaʼama” jedhe.
Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
27 Kana irratti Phexros, “Kunoo, nu waan hunda dhiifnee si duukaa buuneerra! Egaa maal arganna ree?” jedhee deebise.
“Look,” Peter replied, “we have left everything to follow You. What then will there be for us?”
28 Yesuus immoo akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Ani dhuguma isinittin hima; addunyaa haaraa keessatti, yeroo Ilmi Namaa teessoo isaa ulfina qabeessa sana irra taaʼutti, isin warri na duukaa buutanis akkasuma teessoowwan kudha lama irra teessanii gosoota Israaʼel kudha lamaanitti murtu.
Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, in the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on His glorious throne, you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
29 Namni maqaa kootiif jedhee manneen yookaan obboloota yookaan obboleettota yookaan abbaa yookaan haadha yookaan niitii yookaan ijoollee yookaan lafa qotiisaa dhiise hundi dachaa dhibba ni argata; jireenya bara baraas ni dhaala. (aiōnios g166)
And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields for the sake of My name will receive a hundredfold and will inherit eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
30 Garuu warri jalqabaa hedduun warra dhumaa ni taʼu; warri dhumaa hedduun immoo warra jalqabaa ni taʼu.
But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first.
