Maatewos 20
1 “Mootummaan samiis abbaa lafaa kan iddoo dhaabaa wayinii isaatti hojjettoota qacarachuuf jedhee barii obboroo manaa baʼe tokko fakkaata.
“For the kingdom of the heavens is like to a man, a householder, who went forth with the morning to hire workmen for his vineyard,
2 Innis guyyaatti diinaariitokko tokko isaanii kaffaluuf hojjettoota sanaan walii galee gara iddoo dhaabaa wayinii isaatti isaan erge.
and having agreed with the workmen for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
3 “Namichi sunis gara saʼaatii sadiitti gad baʼee namoota hojii malee iddoo gabaa dhadhaabatan kanneen biraa arge.
And having gone forth about the third hour, he saw others standing in the marketplace idle,
4 ‘Isinis dhaqaatii iddoo dhaabaa wayinii kootii keessa hojjedhaa; anis waan isiniif malu isiniifin kaffalaa’ jedheen.
and to these he said, Go—also you—to the vineyard, and whatever may be righteous I will give you;
5 Isaanis ni dhaqan. “Ammas gara saʼaatii jaʼaa fi gara saʼaatii sagaliitti gad baʼee akkasuma godhe.
and they went away. Again, having gone forth about the sixth and the ninth hour, he did in like manner.
6 Naannoo saʼaatii kudha tokkoottis gad baʼee namoota hojii malee dhadhaabatan biraa argee, ‘Isin maaliif guyyaa guutuu hojii malee as dhadhaabattu?’ jedhee isaan gaafate.
And about the eleventh hour, having gone forth, he found others standing idle and says to them, Why have you stood here idle all day?
7 “Isaanis, ‘Sababii namni tokko illee nu hin qacaratiniif’ jedhanii deebisan. “Inni immoo, ‘Isinis dhaqaatii iddoo dhaabaa wayinii kootii keessa hojjedhaa’ jedheen.
They say to him, Because no one hired us; he says to them, Go—you also—to the vineyard, and whatever may be righteous you will receive.
8 “Yommuu galgalaaʼetti abbaan iddoo dhaabaa wayinii sanaa hoogganaa hojii isaatiin, ‘Hojjettoota waami; warra gara dhumaatti qacaramanii jalqabii hamma warra dura qacaramaniitti mindaa isaanii kaffaliif’ jedheen.
And evening having come, the lord of the vineyard says to his steward, Call the workmen, and pay them the reward, having begun from the last—to the first.
9 “Warri gara saʼaatii kudha tokkootti qacaraman sunis dhufanii tokkoon tokkoon isaanii diinaarii tokko tokko fudhatan.
And they of about the eleventh hour having come, each received a denarius.
10 Warri jalqabatti qacaraman yommuu dhufanitti waan warra kaan caalaa argatan seʼan. Garuu tokkoon tokkoon isaanii diinaarii tokko tokko fudhatan.
And the first having come, supposed that they will receive more, and they received, they also, each a denarius,
11 Isaan yommuu diinaarii sana fudhatanitti abbaa lafaa sanatti guunguman.
and having received [it], they were murmuring against the householder, saying,
12 Isaanis, ‘Warri gara dhumaatti qacaraman kunneen saʼaatii tokko qofa hojjetan; ati garuu nu warra dadhabbii hojichaatii fi hoʼa guyyaa obsine isaaniin wal qixxeessite’ jedhaniin.
that, These, the last, worked one hour, and you made them equal to us, who were bearing the burden of the day—and the heat.
13 “Inni garuu hojjettoota sana keessaa isa tokkoon, ‘Yaa michuu ko, ani waan tokkoon illee si hin miine. Ati diinaarii tokkoon naan walii hin gallee?
And he answering said to one of them, Friend, I do no unrighteousness to you; did you not agree with me for a denarius?
14 Qooda kee fudhadhuu deemi; ani namicha isa gara dhumaa kanaafis hammuma siif kenne sana kennuufii nan barbaada.
Take that which is yours, and go; and I will to give to this, the last, also as to you;
15 Ani qarshii kootiin waan barbaade gochuuf mirga hin qabuu? Yookaan sababii ani arjaa taʼeef hinaaftaa?’ jedhe.
is it not lawful to me to do what I will in my own? Is your eye evil because I am good?
16 “Akkasuma warri dhumaa warra jalqabaa ni taʼu; warri jalqabaa immoo warra dhumaa ni taʼu.”
So the last will be first, and the first last, for many are called, and few chosen.”
17 Yesuus utuu Yerusaalemitti ol baʼaa jiruu barattoota kudha lamaan kophaatti baasee akkana jedheen:
And Jesus going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples by themselves in the way and said to them,
18 “Kunoo nu Yerusaalemitti ol baʼaa jirra; Ilmi Namaas dabarfamee luboota hangafootattii fi barsiistota seeraatti ni kennama. Isaanis duʼa itti muru;
“Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and scribes,
19 akka isaan itti qoosaniif, isa garafanii fi isa fannisaniifis dabarsanii Namoota Ormaatti isa kennu. Innis guyyaa sadaffaatti duʼaa ni kaafama!”
and they will condemn Him to death, and will deliver Him to the nations to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify, and the third day He will rise again.”
20 Ergasiis haati ilmaan Zabdewoos ilmaan ishee wajjin gara Yesuus dhuftee jilbeenfattee waa isa kadhatte.
Then came near to Him the mother of the sons of Zebedee, with her sons, prostrating and asking something from Him,
21 Yesuusis, “Ati maal barbaadda?” jedheen. Isheenis, “Akka ilmaan koo kunneen lamaan mootummaa kee keessatti inni tokko mirga keetiin, inni kaan immoo bitaa keetiin taaʼu naa godhi” jetteen.
and He said to her, “What do you will?” She says to Him, “Say that they may sit—these two sons of mine—one on Your right hand and one on the left, in Your kingdom.”
22 Yesuus immoo, “Isin waan kadhattan hin beektan; xoofoo ani dhuguuf jiru dhuguu ni dandeessuu?” jedheen. Isaanis, “Ni dandeenya” jedhanii deebisan.
And Jesus answering said, “You have not known what you ask for yourselves; are you able to drink of the cup that I am about to drink? And with the immersion that I am immersed with, to be immersed?” They say to Him, “We are able.”
23 Yesuusis, “Dhugumaan xoofoo koo irraa illee ni dhugdu; garuu mirga kootii fi bitaa kootiin taaʼuu kan kennu ana miti. Iddoon kun kan warra Abbaan koo isaaniif qopheesse sanaa ti” jedheen.
And He says to them, “Of My cup indeed you will drink, and with the immersion that I am immersed with you will be immersed; but to sit on My right hand and on My left is not Mine to give, but—to those for whom it has been prepared by My Father.”
24 Warri kurnan yommuu waan kana dhagaʼanitti obboloota lamaanitti aaran.
And the ten having heard, were much displeased with the two brothers,
25 Yesuusis walitti isaan waamee akkana jedhe; “Isin akka bulchitoonni Namoota Ormaa isaan irratti gooftummaa mulʼisan, gurguddoonni isaaniis akka isaan irratti taayitaa argisiisan ni beektu.
and Jesus having called them near, said, “You have known that the rulers of the nations exercise lordship over them, and those [who are] great exercise authority over them,
26 Isin biratti akkas miti. Qooda kanaa namni isin keessaa nama guddaa taʼuu barbaadu kam iyyuu tajaajilaa keessan taʼuu qaba;
but not so will it be among you, but whoever may will among you to become great, let him be your servant;
27 namni nama jalqabaa taʼuu barbaadu kam iyyuu garbicha keessan taʼuu qaba;
and whoever may will among you to be first, let him be your servant;
28 Ilmi Namaa iyyuu tajaajiluu fi lubbuu isaa immoo namoota baayʼeedhaaf furii godhee kennuuf dhufe malee tajaajilamuuf hin dhufneetii.”
even as the Son of Man did not come to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give His life [as] a ransom for many.”
29 Utuu Yesuusii fi barattoonni isaa Yerikoodhaa baʼaa jiranuu, tuunni namootaa guddaan isa duukaa buʼe.
And they going forth from Jericho, there followed Him a great multitude,
30 Kunoo, jaamonni lama qarqara karaa tataaʼaa turan; isaanis yommuu akka Yesuus achiin darbaa jiru dhagaʼanitti iyyanii, “Gooftaa, yaa Ilma Daawit nu maari!” jedhan.
and behold, two blind men sitting by the way, having heard that Jesus passes by, cried, saying, “Deal kindly with us, Lord—Son of David.”
31 Tuunni sunis akka isaan calʼisaniif isaan ifate; isaan garuu, “Yaa Gooftaa, yaa Ilma Daawit nu maari!” jedhanii ittuma caalchisanii iyyan.
And the multitude charged them that they might be silent, and they cried out the more, saying, “Deal kindly with us Lord—Son of David.”
32 Yesuusis dhaabatee isaan waamee, “Akka ani maal isinii godhu barbaaddu?” jedhee isaan gaafate.
And having stood, Jesus called them and said, “What do you will [that] I may do to you?”
33 Isaan immoo, “Yaa Gooftaa, akka iji keenya nuuf banamu barbaanna” jedhanii deebisan.
They say to Him, “Lord, that our eyes may be opened”;
34 Yesuusis garaa laafeefii ija isaanii qaqqabe. Isaanis yeruma sana arganii isa duukaa buʼan.
and having been moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes, and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed Him.
