Maatewos 22
1 Yesuus ammas akkana jedhee fakkeenyaan deebii kenneef:
And Jesus answered and spake again in parables unto them, saying,
2 “Mootummaan samii mootii ilma isaatiif cidha fuudhaa qopheesse tokko fakkaata.
The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a certain king, which made a marriage feast for his son,
3 Innis akka isaan warra cidha sanatti affeeraman waamaniif garboota isaa erge; warri waamaman sun garuu dhufuu hin barbaanne.
and sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the marriage feast: and they would not come.
4 “Ammas akkana jedhee garboota biraa erge; ‘Kunoo ani irbaata koo qopheesseera: Sangoonni koo, horiin koo coccoomoonis qalamanii wanni hundinuu qopheeffameera. Gara cidha fuudhaa fi heerumaa kottaa jedhaatii warra affeeraman sanatti himaa.’
Again he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them that are bidden, Behold, I have made ready my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come to the marriage feast.
5 “Isaan garuu tuffatanii, inni tokko gara lafa qotiisaa isaa, kaan immoo gara daldala isaa dhaqe.
But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his merchandise:
6 Warri hafan immoo garboota isaa qabanii salphisan; ni ajjeesanis.
and the rest laid hold on his servants, and entreated them shamefully, and killed them.
7 Mootichis ni aare. Loltoota isaas ergee warra garboota isaa ajjeesan sana balleesse; magaalaa isaaniis ni gube.
But the king was wroth; and he sent his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.
8 “Ergasii inni garboota isaatiin akkana jedhe; ‘Dhangaan cidha fuudhaa qopheeffameera; warri affeeraman garuu cidha kanaaf hin malle.
Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they that were bidden were not worthy.
9 Kanaafuu gara qaxxaamura karaatti baʼaatii nama argitan hunda gara cidhaatti affeeraa.’
Go ye therefore unto the partings of the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage feast.
10 Garboonni sunis karaatti baʼanii nama argan hunda, hamaas gaariis walitti qaban; galmi cidhaa sunis keessummootaan guutame.
And those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was filled with guests.
11 “Mootichi yommuu keessummoota ilaaluuf ol seenetti, nama uffata cidhaa hin uffatin tokko achitti arge.
But when the king came in to behold the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding-garment:
12 Innis, ‘Yaa michuu ko, ati akkamitti utuu uffata cidhaa hin uffatin as seente?’ jedhee isa gaafate. Namichi garuu waan dubbatu dhabe.
and he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding-garment? And he was speechless.
13 “Mootichis tajaajiltoota isaatiin, ‘Namicha kana harkaa fi miilla hidhaatii dukkana alaatti gad darbadhaa; achittis booʼuu fi ilkaan qaruutu taʼa’ jedhe.
Then the king said to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and cast him out into the outer darkness; there shall be the weeping and gnashing of teeth.
14 “Warri affeeraman baayʼeedhaatii; warri filataman garuu muraasa.”
For many are called, but few chosen.
15 Ergasiis Fariisonni waanuma inni dubbatuun isa qabuuf gad baʼanii Yesuusitti mariʼatan.
Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might ensnare him in [his] talk.
16 Isaanis barattoota isaanii garee Heroodis wajjin isatti ergan. Akkanas jedhan; “Yaa barsiisaa, akka ati nama dhugaa taate, akka ati dhugaadhaan karaa Waaqaa barsiiftu beekna. Ati nama wal hin caalchiftu; fuula namaas hin ilaaltu.
And they send to him their disciples, with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, and carest not for any one: for thou regardest not the person of men.
17 Egaa mee nutti himi; yaadni kee maali? Qeesaariif gibira kaffaluun eeyyamameera moo hin eeyyamamne?”
Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?
18 Yesuus garuu hammina isaanii beekee akkana jedhe; “Yaa fakkeessitoota nana, isin maaliif na qortu?
But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?
19 Mee maallaqa gibira kaffaltan natti argisiisaa.” Isaanis diinaarii tokko isatti fidan;
Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny.
20 inni immoo, “Fakkiin kun kan eenyuu ti? Katabbiin kunis kan eenyuu ti?” jedhee isaan gaafate.
And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription?
21 Isaanis, “Kan Qeesaari” jedhanii deebisan. Kana irratti inni, “Yoos kan Qeesaar Qeesaariif, kan Waaqaa immoo Waaqaaf kennaa” jedheen.
They say unto him, Caesar’s. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s.
22 Isaanis yommuu waan kana dhagaʼanitti ni dinqifatan. Kanaaf isa dhiisanii qajeelan.
And when they heard it, they marveled, and left him, and went their way.
23 Guyyuma sana Saduuqonni warri duʼaa kaʼuun hin jiru jedhan tokko tokko gara isaa dhufanii gaaffii isa gaafatan.
On that day there came to him Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection: and they asked him,
24 Akkanas jedhan; “Yaa barsiisaa, Museen, ‘Namni tokko niitii fuudhee utuu ijoollee hin dhalchin yoo duʼe obboleessi isaa niitii sana dhaalee obboleessa isaatiif sanyii haa dhaabu’ jedhee nutti himeera.
saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
25 Kunoo obboloota torbatu nu bira ture. Inni jalqabaa niitii fuudhee utuu ijoollee hin qabaatin niitii isaa obboleessa isaatti dhiisee duʼe.
Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first married and deceased, and having no seed left his wife unto his brother;
26 Obboleessa lammaffaa fi sadaffaa irratti, hamma isa torbaffaattis waanuma sanatu taʼe.
in like manner the second also, and the third, unto the seventh.
27 Dhuma irratti dubartittiinis ni duute.
And after them all the woman died.
28 Egaa guyyaa duʼaa kaʼuutti, torban isaanii keessaa isheen niitii isa kamii taati? Hundi isaanii iyyuu ishee fuudhaniiruutii.”
In the resurrection therefore whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.
29 Yesuus immoo akkana jedhee deebise; “Isin waan Katabbiiwwan Qulqulluu yookaan humna Waaqaa hin beekneef dogoggortu.
But Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.
30 Guyyaa duʼaa kaʼuutti namoonni akka ergamoota samii taʼu malee hin fuudhan; hin heerumanis.
For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as angels in heaven.
31 Garuu isin waan Waaqni waaʼee duʼaa kaʼuu warra duʼanii isiniin jedhe hin dubbifnee? Innis akkana jedha;
But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,
32 ‘Ani Waaqa Abrahaam, Waaqa Yisihaaqii fi Waaqa Yaaqoob.’Inni Waaqa warra jiraataniiti malee Waaqa warra duʼanii miti.”
I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not [the God] of the dead, but of the living.
33 Namoonni yommuu waan kana dhagaʼanitti, barsiisa isaa dinqifatan.
And when the multitudes heard it, they were astonished at his teaching.
34 Fariisonni yommuu akka Yesuus Saduuqota afaan qabachiise dhagaʼanitti walitti qabaman.
But the Pharisees, when they heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, gathered themselves together.
35 Isaan keessaas hayyuun seeraa tokko akkana jedhee gaaffii kanaan isa qore:
And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him,
36 “Yaa barsiisaa, seera keessaa ajajni guddaan isa kami?”
Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
37 Yesuusis akkana jedheen; “Waaqa kee Goofticha garaa kee guutuudhaan, lubbuu kee guutuudhaan, yaada kee guutuudhaan jaalladhu.
And he said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 Kunis ajaja jalqabaatii fi guddicha.
This is the great and first commandment.
39 Ajajni lammaffaanis isuma fakkaata: ‘Ollaa kee akkuma ofii keetiitti jaalladhu’jedha.
And a second like [unto it] is this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40 Seerrii fi Raajonni hundinuu ajajawwan kanneen lamaan irratti hundeeffamu.”
On these two commandments hangeth the whole law, and the prophets.
41 Utuu Fariisonni walitti qabamanii jiranuu Yesuus gaaffii tokko isaan gaafate;
Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question,
42 innis, “Isin waaʼee Kiristoos maal yaaddu? Inni ilma eenyuu ti?” jedhe. Isaanis, “Inni Ilma Daawit” jedhanii deebisan.
saying, What think ye of the Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, [The son] of David.
43 Innis akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Yoos Daawit akkamitti Hafuuraan geggeeffamee, ‘Gooftaa’ isaan jedha ree? Inni akkana jedhaatii:
He saith unto them, How then doth David in the Spirit call him Lord, saying,
44 “‘Gooftaan Gooftaa kootiin: “Hamma ani diinota kee miilla kee jala siif galchutti gara mirga koo taaʼi”jedhe.’
The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, Till I put thine enemies underneath thy feet?
45 Erga Daawit, ‘Gooftaa’ jedhee isa waame, yoos inni akkamitti ilma isaa taʼuu dandaʼa ree?”
If David then calleth him Lord, how is he his son?
46 Namni tokko iyyuu waan tokko isaaf deebisuu hin dandeenye; gaafasii jalqabee namni tokko iyyuu deebiʼee gaaffii isa gaafachuuf ija hin jabaanne.
And no one was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.
