Maatewos 19
1 Yesuus erga dubbii kana dubbatee fixatee booddee, Galiilaadhaa kaʼee gama Yordaanos gara biyya Yihuudaa dhaqe.
And it came to pass, when Jesus finished these words, He removed from Galilee, and came to the borders of Judea, beyond the Jordan,
2 Namoonni baayʼeenis isa duukaa buʼan; innis achitti isaan fayyise.
and great multitudes 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.
And the Pharisees came near to Him, tempting Him, and saying to Him, “Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?”
4 Yesuusis akkana jedhee deebise; “Isin akka inni jalqabatti isaan uume sun, ‘dhiiraa fi dubartii taasisee isaan uume’hin dubbifnee?
And He answering said to them, “Did you not read that He who made [them] from the beginning, made them a male and a 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 cause will a man leave father and mother, and cleave to his wife, and they will be—the two—for one flesh?
6 Egaa isaan siʼachi foon tokko malee lama miti. Kanaafuu waan Waaqni tokko taasise namni gargar hin baasin.”
So that they are no longer two, but one flesh; what therefore God joined together, let no man separate.”
7 Isaanis, “Yoos Museen maaliif akka namni tokko waraqaa ragaa hiikkaa kenneefii niitii isaa of irraa geggeessu ajaje ree?” jedhanii isa gaafatan.
They say to Him, “Why then did Moses command to give a roll of divorce, and to put 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.
He says to them, “Moses for your stiffness of heart permitted you to put away your wives, but from the beginning it has not been so.
9 Ani isinittin hima; namni utuu isheen halalummaa hin hojjetin niitii isaa hiikee dubartii biraa fuudhu kam iyyuu ejja raawwata.”
And I say to you that whoever may put away his wife, if not for whoredom, and may marry another, commits adultery; and he who married her that has been put away, commits adultery.”
10 Barattoonni isaas, “Haalli dhirsaa fi niitii akkana taanaan fuudhuu dhiisuu wayya” jedhaniin.
His disciples say to Him, “If the case of the man with the woman is so, it is not good to marry.”
11 Yesuusis akkana jedheen; “Waan kana warra isaaniif kenname qofa malee namni hundi fudhachuu hin dandaʼu.
And He said to them, “All do not receive this word, but 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 from the mother’s womb were so born; and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men; and there are eunuchs who kept themselves eunuchs because of the kingdom of the heavens: he who is able to receive [it]—let him receive.”
13 Ergasii akka inni harka isaan irra kaaʼee isaaniif kadhatuuf ijoollee xixinnoo Yesuusitti fidan. Barattoonni garuu isaan ifatan.
Then were brought near to Him children that He might put hands on them and pray, and the disciples rebuked them.
14 Yesuusis, “Ijoolleen xixinnoon gara koo haa dhufaniitii hin dhowwinaa; mootummaan samii kan warra akkanaatii” jedhe.
But Jesus said, “Permit the children, and do not forbid them to come to Me, for of such is the kingdom of the heavens”;
15 Innis erga harka isaa isaan irra kaaʼee booddee achii deeme.
and having laid [His] hands on them, He departed 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)
And behold, one having come near, said to Him, “Good Teacher, what good thing will I do that I may have continuous 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.
And He said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one [is] good except one—God; but if you will to enter into life, keep the commands.”
18 Namichis, “Ajajawwan kami?” jedhee gaafate. Yesuus immoo akkana jedhee deebise; “‘Hin ajjeesin; hin ejjin; hin hatin; sobaan dhugaa hin baʼin;
He says to Him, “What kind?” And Jesus said, “You will not murder, You will not commit adultery, You will not steal, You will not bear false witness,
19 abbaa keetii fi haadha kee kabaji; ollaa kee akkuma ofii keetiitti jaalladhu.’”
Honor your father and mother, and, You will love your neighbor as yourself.”
20 Dargaggeessi sunis, “Ani ajajawwan kanneen hunda eegeera. Yoos maaltu amma iyyuu na duraa hirʼata ree?” jedheen.
The young man says to Him, “All these I kept from my youth; what yet do I 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 said to him, “If you will to be perfect, go away, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in Heaven, and come, follow Me.”
22 Dargaggeessi sunis yommuu waan kana dhagaʼetti gaddee achii deeme; inni qabeenya guddaa qaba tureetii.
And the young man, having heard the word, went away sorrowful, for he had many possessions;
23 Yesuusis barattoota isaatiin akkana jedhe; “Ani dhuguma isinittin hima; mootummaa samiitti galuun nama sooressaaf rakkisaa dha.
and Jesus said to His disciples, “Truly I say to you that hardly will a rich man enter into the kingdom of the heavens;
24 Ammas isinittin hima; namni sooressi mootummaa Waaqaatti galuu irra qaawwa lilmoo keessa baʼuutu gaalaaf salphata.”
and again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of God.”
25 Barattoonni yommuu waan kana dhagaʼanitti akka malee raajeffatanii, “Yoos eenyutu fayyuu dandaʼa ree?” jedhanii gaafatan.
And His disciples having heard, were exceedingly amazed, saying, “Who, then, is able to be saved?”
26 Yesuusis isaan ilaalee, “Kun namaaf hin dandaʼamu; Waaqaaf garuu wanni hundinuu ni dandaʼama” jedhe.
And Jesus having earnestly beheld, said to them, “With men 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.
Then Peter answering said to Him, “Behold, we left all, and followed You, what then will we have?”
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.
And Jesus said to them, “Truly I say to you that you who followed Me, in the regeneration, when the Son of Man may sit on a throne of His glory, will sit—you also—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 left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or fields, for My Name’s sake, will receive a hundredfold, and will inherit continuous life; (aiōnios g166)
30 Garuu warri jalqabaa hedduun warra dhumaa ni taʼu; warri dhumaa hedduun immoo warra jalqabaa ni taʼu.
and many first will be last, and last first.”
