Luke 11 (GAX) · Opened

1Gaafa tokko Yesuus addee takkatti daadimatiisatti jiraayyu; yennaa inni daadimatee ka'e, barattoota isaa keessaa tokkochi isaan, «Gootta'a, Yohaannis barattoota ifii daadimatiisa akkuma barsiise, atille daadimatiisa nu barsiisi» jedhe.One day in a place where Jesus had just finished praying, one of His disciples requested, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.”

2Yesuus isaaniin, «Yennaa daadimattanu tana jedha'a: «‹Abbaa keenna, ka ol-gubbaa jirtu Maqaan keeti woyyoomu; Mootummaan teeti dhuttu. Fedhiin teeti akkuma ol-gubba'atti teete, lafa irralle'etti teetuu.So Jesus told them, “When you pray, say: ‘Father, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come.

3Sagalee nuu barbaachittu guyyuma guyya'aan nuu kenni.Give us each day our daily bread.

4Akkuma nuuti worra nu yakkuuf araarannu, cubbuu teenna nuu araarami; hantuu irraa nu eegi malee, ataabe'etti nu hin galchin!› jedha'a» jedhe.And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.’”

5Achiin duuba Yesuus ede'ee «Isin keessaa nami tokko lansa yoo qabaate, halkan wodhakkaa gara lansa ifii dhaqee ‹Lansa kiyya, daabboo xaltaa sad naa liqeessi.Then Jesus said to them, “Suppose one of you goes to his friend at midnight and says, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,

6Lansi kiyya karaa deemaa ammuma tana natti goree waan itti kennu dhabeera› yoo jedheen,because a friend of mine has come to me on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him.’

7lansi isaa sun mana keessa tee'ee, isaan ‹Ana hin rakkisin! Balbalti cufantee, ijoolleen tiyyalle na woliin taqee irra ratteerti. Ani ka'ee womaa si'iif kenniisa hin dande'u› hin jedhaa?And suppose the one inside answers, ‘Do not bother me. My door is already shut, and my children and I are in bed. I cannot get up to give you anything.’

8Ani isinitti hima, lansa isaa waan te'eef ka'ee womaa isaaf kennuu dhabulle, adoo hin fokkifatin itti deddeebisee waan isa kadhateef, ka'ee waan isaa barbaachisu mara hin kenna.I tell you, even though he will not get up to provide for him because of his friendship, yet because of the man’s persistence, he will get up and give him as much as he needs.

9«Maarre ani isiniin jedha: gaafadha'a isiniif hin kennanti; barbaada'a hin dhaggattani; dhodhowa'a balbalti isiniif hin bananti.So I tell you: Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.

10Ka gaafatu maraa hin fudhata; ka barbaadu maraa hin dhaggata; ka dhodhowu maraaf balbalti hin bananti.For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

11Isin keessaa abbaa ka te'e, ilmi isaa daabboo yoo gaafate dhakaa ka kennuuf eennu? Qurxummii yoo gaafate dhudhuufaa ka kennuuf eennu?What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead?

12Yookiin yoo inni quuphaa gaafate qaajjibbuu hin kennaafii?Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?

13Isin adoo hamoota teetanuu, waan dansaa ijoollee teessaniif kenniisa yoo beettane, Abbaan keessan ka ol-gubbaa jiru, attam caalchisee worra isa gaafatuuf Ayyaana Woyyicha kennuu dhaba!» jedhe.So if you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”

14Yesuus durriisa duudaa tokko baase. Yennaa durriisi baye, namichi dubbatiisa jalqabe; namootille baaseffatane.One day Jesus was driving out a demon that was mute. And when the demon was gone, the man who had been mute spoke. The crowds were amazed,

15Namooti gariin ammoo, «Inni hunna Bi'el Zebulii mooticha durriisotaatiin durriisota baasa» jedhane.but some of them said, “It is by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons, that He drives out demons.”

16Worri dhibiin Yesuus haga ilaaliisaaf barbaadanee, beessisa tokko ol-gubbaa irraa akka isaanitti mudhisu gaafatan.And others tested Him by demanding a sign from heaven.

17Yesuus ammoo waan isaan yaadatane beekee, isaaniin, «Mootummaan takka wol mormitee yoo gargar ifi qoodde, mootummaan sun hin baddi; maatiin takka yoo gargar ifi qoodde, manni sun hin diigama.Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself will be laid waste, and a house divided against a house will fall.

18Maarre Seexanni wol mormee yoo gargar ifi qoode, mootummaan isaa attamiin dhaabbatuu dandeetti? Waan isin anaan, ‹Inni hunna Bi'el Zebuliitiin durriisota baasa› jettaneef tana jedhe.If Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand? After all, you say that I drive out demons by Beelzebul.

19Yoo ani hunna Bi'el Zebuliitiin isaan baase, ijoolleen teessan eennuun baasan? Tanaaf ijoolleen teessanuu isinitti murti.And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.

20Yoo ani hunna Waaqaatiin durriisota ka baasu te'ee, akka mootummaan Waaqaa gara keessan dhutteertu beeka'a.But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

21«Nami jabaan tokko, meya woraanaa mara hidhatee, mana ifii yennaa eeggatu, qabeenni isaa marti hin eegamaaf.When a strong man, fully armed, guards his house, his possessions are secure.

22Ammoo ka isa caalaa jabaatu yennaa isa lolee injifate, meya lolaa ka inni addatu maraayyuu irraa fudhata, karra dannabe sanille hin qooda.But when someone stronger attacks and overpowers him, he takes away the armor in which the man trusted, and then he divides up his plunder.

23Eennulle ka golii tiyya hin te'in na morma; eennulle ka na woliin wolitti hin qanne hin bittinneessa.He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.

24«Ayyaanni hamaan nama keessaa yennaa bawu, addee itti foorfatu barbaadatiisaaf, lafa bisaan hin jirre keessa deddeebi'a; addee barbaadatee yoo dhagguu dhabe, ‹Mana kiyya ka keessaa bayetti deebi'a› jedha.When an unclean spirit comes out of a man, it passes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’

25Yennaa deebi'u, manni haxowamee qulqulloweeruun dhagga.On its return, it finds the house swept clean and put in order.

26Achiin duuba ayyaanota hamoota torba ka isa caalaa hamaa te'ane dhaqee fida; isaanille dhufanee achi le'an. Jireenni namichaa ka duubaa ka duraa caalaa ka hammaate te'a» jedhe.Then it goes and brings seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and dwell there. And the final plight of that man is worse than the first.”

27Yesuus adoo tana dubbatiisatti jiruu, gumii keessaa dubartiin takka qoonqoo ol qabattee, «Gadaamessi si ba'atee fi harmi ati hoote ka badhaadhane» jette.As Jesus was saying these things, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said, “Blessed is the womb that bore You, and blessed are the breasts that nursed You!”

28Inni ammoo deebisee, «Worri jecha Waaqaa dhage'ee ajajamuuf caalaa ka badhaadhe!» jedhe.But He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”

29Kolbaan hedduun gara isaa dachaateertuun, Yesuus, «Dhalooti kun dhaloota hama'a; isaan beessisa gaafatan, ammoo beessisa Yoonaasii raagichaa malee ka dhibiin tokkolle hin kennamuuf.As the crowds were increasing, Jesus said, “This is a wicked generation. It demands a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.

30Raagichi Yoonaas kolbaa Nanawwe'eetiif beessisa akka te'e ilmi namaalle dhaloota adhaa kanaaf beessisa hin te'a.For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so the Son of Man will be a sign to this generation.

31Mootittiin kibbaa guyyaa mura'aa dhaloota adhaa kana woliin kaatee, isaanitti hin murti. Isiin qaccee biyya lafaatii qaruu Solomoonii caqasiisaaf dhutte; amma kunoo ka Solomoon caalu as jira.The Queen of the South will rise at the judgment with the men of this generation and condemn them; for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and now One greater than Solomon is here.

32Kolbaan qachaa Nanawwe'ee guyyaa mura'aa dhaloota kana woliin kaatee isinitti hin murti; kolbaan Nanawwe'ee lallaba Yoonaasii dhageettee cubbuu irraa deebiteerti. Kunoo ka Yoonaas caalu as jira.The men of Nineveh will stand at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now One greater than Jonah is here.

33«Eennulle ifa issee, addee hin mudhannetti yookiin qorii jala ka keyu hin jiru; namooti yennaa mana seenanu akka dhagganu addee mudhatu keya.No one lights a lamp and puts it in a cellar or under a basket. Instead, he sets it on a stand, so those who enter can see the light.

34Ilti teeti ifa nafa keetii ti; ilti teeti fayyaa yoo teete, nafi keeti duudiin ifaa te'a; ammoo ilti teeti dhukkudduu yoo teete nafi keeti duudiin dukkanowaa te'a.Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are good, your whole body also is full of light. But when they are bad, your body is full of darkness.

35Tanaaf ifi si keessa jiru akka hin dukkanoonne ifi eegadhu.Be careful, then, that the light within you is not darkness.

36Nafi keeti duudiin ifa yoo qabaate, maddiin takkaalle dukkana keessa yoo hin jiraatin, akkuma yennaa ifi ifa ifii sitti issu te'u, nafi keeti duudiin ifaalessa te'a» jedhe.So if your whole body is full of light, with no part of it in darkness, you will be radiant, as though a lamp were shining on you.”

37Yesuus yennaa dubbatee ka'e, Fariisaayichi tokko sagalee nyaatiisaaf gara mana ifii isa waame; maarre inni nyaatiisaaf gara mana isaa dhaqee tee'e.As Jesus was speaking, a Pharisee invited Him to dine with him; so He went in and reclined at the table.

38Fariisaayichi sun Yesuus adoo harka hin dhiqatin nyaataaf akka tee'e yennaa dhagge maalalfate.But the Pharisee was surprised to see that Jesus did not first wash before the meal.

39Maarre Goottaan isaan, «Isin Fariisaayoti muduunuu itti untanuu fi qorii itti nyaattanu gubbaa qulleessitan, keessi keessan ammoo joljolumma'aa fi hammeennaan guutameera.Then the Lord said, “Now you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.

40Gowwoole'e! Waaqi gubbaa dade keessa hin dannee?You fools! Did not the One who made the outside make the inside as well?

41Ammoo waan muduunu'uu fi qorii keessa jiru hiyyeeyyi'iif kenna'a, wonni duudiille isiniif hin qulqulloonti.But give as alms the things that are within you, and behold, everything will be clean for you.

42«Isin Fariisaayotaaf aanne'e! Isin ashuuda'aa fi sugattee irraa, akkasuma waan ficha'atti dhaabattane duudii irraa kudhan keessaa tokko Waaqaaf kennitan, dhuga'aa fi jaalala waaqaa ammoo hin lakkittan. San adoo gootanuu tanalle worra dhibi'iif godhiisa lakkisuu hin malle.Woe to you Pharisees! For you pay tithes of mint, rue, and every herb, but you disregard justice and the love of God. You should have practiced the latter without neglecting the former.

43Isin Fariisaayotaaf aanne'e! Isin Mana Waaqonfannaa Yihudootaa keessatti barcumaa ulfinnaa, addee dikko'ootille'etti nageya ulfinnaa akka isin fuudhanu jaalattan.Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the chief seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.

44Isin irreensa beessisa hin qanne ka namooti adoo hin beekin irra deemanu waan fakkaattanuuf isiniif aanne'e!» jedhe.Woe to you! For you are like unmarked graves, which men walk over without even noticing.”

45Beekaan Seera Muuse'ee tokko, «Barsiisaa, ati yennaa tana dubbattu be nu'ulle arrassaarta» jedheen.One of the experts in the law told Him, “Teacher, when You say these things, You insult us as well.”

46Yesuus deebisee, «Isin beekkolee Seera Muuse'eetiif aanne'e! Isin ba'aa ulfaattuu dudda kolba'aatitti feetan, ifii ammoo quballe'een hin tuxxanu.“Woe to you as well, experts in the law!” He replied. “For you weigh men down with heavy burdens, but you yourselves will not lift a finger to lighten their load.

47Isin raagota abbootiin teessan ijjeetteef irreensa waan ijaartanuuf, isiniif aanne'e!Woe to you! For you build tombs for the prophets, but it was your fathers who killed them.

48Isin waan abbootiin teessan hujjetti wolii galtane; isaan raagota ijjeesanee, isin irreensa isaanii ijaartanee mirkaneessitane.So you are witnesses consenting to the deeds of your fathers: They killed the prophets, and you build their tombs.

49Marroo tanaaf beekkumsi Waaqaa, ‹Ani raagotaa fi ergantoota isaanitti erga; isaan garii hin ijjeesan kaan hin ari'an› jedha.Because of this, the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles; some of them they will kill and others they will persecute.’

50Maarre haga latti dadanteen jalqabee dhiiga raagota maraa ka jigeef dhalooti kun hin gaafatama.As a result, this generation will be charged with the blood of all the prophets that has been shed since the foundation of the world,

51Dhiiga Abeeliitiin jalqabee haga dhiiga Zakaariyaasii wodhakkaa addee ciinca'aatii fi Galma Waaqaatitti ijjeesanee, ani dhugumaan isinitti hima, dhiiga isaan maraatiif dhalooti kun hin gaafatama.from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who was killed between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, all of it will be charged to this generation.

52Isin beekkoleen Seera Muuse'ee, furtuu balbala beekkumsaa kolbaa duraa waan fuutaneertanuuf, isiniif aanne'e! Isin ifiif hin seenne, worra seeniisaaf barbaadulle hin dhooggitan» jedhe.Woe to you experts in the law! For you have taken away the key to knowledge. You yourselves have not entered, and you have hindered those who were entering.”

53Yesuus yennaa achii deeme, barsiisoti Seera Muuse'eetii fi Fariisaayoti guddoo moromanee, gaaffii marroo waan heddu'uu isa gaafatanee,As Jesus went on from there, the scribes and Pharisees began to oppose Him bitterly and to ply Him with questions about many things,

54dubbii inni dubbatuun isa qabiisaaf gaadane.waiting to catch Him in something He might say.
