Luke 13 (GAX) · Opened

1Yennaa san namooti gariin gara Yesuusii dhufanee, marroo worra Galiila'aa ka adoo Waaqaaf woreega woreegiisatti jiranuu, Philaaxoos ijjeesisee dhiiga isaanii woreega isaanii woliin makee itti himane.At that time some of those present told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.

2Yesuus deebisee, «Worri Galiila'aa kun, worra Galiila'aa kaan mara caalaa cubbaaleyyii waan te'aneef akkas rakkatane isinitti fakkaataa?To this He replied, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered this way?

3Waawwoo! Ani isinitti hima, isin martinuu yoo cubbuu teessan irraa deebi'uu dhaddane, akkuma isaanii hin baddan.No, I tell you. But unless you repent, you too will all perish.

4Yookiin worri kudhanii saddeeti ka Siilo'amitti xelleephoon dhaka'aa dheertuun itti jiddee fixxe, worra Yerusaalem keessa le'u mara caalaa yakkaameyyii isinitti fakkaataa?Or those eighteen who were killed when the tower of Siloam collapsed on them: Do you think that they were more sinful than all the others living in Jerusalem?

5Waawwo'o! Ani isinitti hima; isinille cubbuu teessan irraa yoo deebitane malee, isin martinuu akkuma isaanii hin baddan» isaaniin jedhe.No, I tell you. But unless you repent, you too will all perish.”

6Achiin duuba Yesuus mammaassa kana isaanitti mammaakee, «Namichi fichaa ifii keessatti muka harru'uu dhaabbateeru tokko jira. Inni midhaan isii irraa barbaadatiisaaf dhaqee womaa irraa dhabe.Then Jesus told this parable: “A man had a fig tree that was planted in his vineyard. He went to look for fruit on it but did not find any.

7Maarre inni namicha fichaa isaa hujuun, ‹Ilaa, ani muka harru'uu kana irraa midhaan barbaadatiisaaf woggaa sad dhufeera; ammoo haga ammaa womaa irraa hin dhagganne. Isii muri, maaf lafa balleessiti?› jedhe.So he said to the keeper of the vineyard, ‘Look, for the past three years I have come to search for fruit on this fig tree and haven’t found any. Therefore cut it down! Why should it use up the soil?’

8Namichi sun ammoo deebisee, ‹Gootta'a, me woggaa tanaaf lakkis; jala qotee kosii jalatti naqa.‘Sir,’ the man replied, ‘leave it alone again this year, until I dig around it and fertilize it.

9Bara dhufu midhaan yoo buutte dansa'a! Ammoo yoo buusuu dhadde hin murta!› jedheen» jedhe.If it bears fruit next year, fine. But if not, you can cut it down.’”

10Yesuus Guyyaa Sanbataa Mana Waaqonfannaa Yihudootaa keessatti barsiisiisatti jiraayyu.One Sabbath Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues,

11Dubartiin woggaa kudhanii saddeeti ayyaanni hamaan gugguussiseeru takkalle achi jirtiiyyu. Isiin akka malee gugguuttee qajeeltee dhaabbatuu hin dandeenne.and a woman there had been disabled by a spirit for eighteen years. She was hunched over and could not stand up straight.

12Yesuus yennaa isii dhagge gara ifii isii waamee, «Dubarti'i, ati dhibee teeti irraa fayyiteerta» jedhe.When Jesus saw her, He called her over and said, “Woman, you are set free from your disability.”

13Harka ifiille isii irra keyee, isiin yennuma san qajeeltee dhaabbattee Waaqa galateeffatte.Then He placed His hands on her, and immediately she straightened up and began to glorify God.

14Sooressi mana Waaqonfannaa Yihudootaa waan Yesuus guyyaa Sanbataatiin fayyiseef aaree, kolba'aan, «Guyyooti huji'ii jaan jiran. Maarre guyyoota san kowa'aatii fayyifama'a malee, guyyaa Sanbataatiinii moti» jedhe.But the synagogue leader was indignant that Jesus had healed on the Sabbath. “There are six days for work,” he told the crowd. “So come and be healed on those days and not on the Sabbath.”

15Goottaan deebisee, «Isin kijiboole'e, isin keessaa guyyaa Sanbataatiin qotiyyoo yookiin harree addee hidha'aatii hiikee geessee ka bisaan hin obaanne eennu?“You hypocrites!” the Lord replied. “Does not each of you on the Sabbath untie his ox or donkey from the stall and lead it to water?

16Amma dubartiin sanyii Abrahaamii teetu tun, ta woggaa kudhanii saddeeti Seexanaan hidhantee turte, guyyaa Sanbataatiin hiikamu'uu hin mallee ree?» jedheen.Then should not this daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has kept bound for eighteen long years, be released from her bondage on the Sabbath day?”

17Dubbii tana yennaa inni dubbate, worri isa mormu mara qaanowe; kolbaan ammoo kancira inni huje maratti gammadde.When Jesus said this, all His adversaries were humiliated. And the whole crowd rejoiced at all the glorious things He was doing.

18Achiin duuba Yesuus «‹Mootummaan Waaqaa maan fakkaatti? Maaniin isii wol fakkeessina?› jedhee gaafate.Then Jesus asked, “What is the kingdom of God like? To what can I compare it?

19Isiin akka sanyii sanaafici'ii ta nami tokko fuudhee fichaa ifii keessatti dhaabeen guddattee muka guddaa teetee, sinbirreen dhuttee dameelee isi'ii irratti mana ijaarrattuu fakkaatti» jedhe.It is like a mustard seed that a man tossed into his garden. It grew and became a tree, and the birds of the air nested in its branches.”

20Yesuus ammalle, «Mootummaa Waaqaa maaniin wol fakkeessa?Again He asked, “To what can I compare the kingdom of God?

21Isiin akka uukoo dubartiin takka fuutee bullaa guddo'oon mattee, uukoon sun isii mara bukeessituu fakkaatti» jedhe.It is like leaven that a woman took and mixed into three measures of flour, until all of it was leavened.”

22Yesuus gara Yerusaalemii adoo dhaquu, qachootaa fi olloota keessatti kolbaa barsiisaa dabare.Then Jesus traveled throughout the towns and villages, teaching as He made His way toward Jerusalem.

23Nami tokko, «Gootta'a, ka fayyu kolbaa diqqo'oo?» jedhee gaafate.“Lord,” someone asked Him, “will only a few people be saved?” Jesus answered,

24Yesuus deebisee, «Balbala dhipho'oon seeniisaaf mixiixxadha'a; ani isinitti hima; namooti hedduun seeniisaaf wodhaanan; ammoo hin dande'anu.“Make every effort to enter through the narrow door. For many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able.

25Abbaan manaa ka'ee balbala cufeen duuba, isin ala dhaabbatanee balbala dhodhowaa, ‹Goottaa keenna balbala nu'uuf bani!› jettanee hin waantan; inni ammoo deebisee, ‹Isin eessaa akka dhuttane ani hin beeku› isiniin jedha.After the master of the house gets up and shuts the door, you will stand outside knocking and saying, ‘Lord, open the door for us.’ But he will reply, ‘I do not know where you are from.’

26«Achiin duuba isin deebittanee, ‹Si woliin nyaannee unneerra; karaa keenna irralle'etti barsiitteerta› jettan.Then you will say, ‘We ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets.’

27Inni ammoo, ‹Eessaa akka isin dhuttane ani hin beeku; isin dabaaleyyiin martinuu ila tiyya duraa deema'a!› jedha.And he will answer, ‘I tell you, I do not know where you are from. Depart from me, all you evildoers.’

28Mootummaa Waaqaa keessatti, Abrahaam, Yisihaq, Yaaqoobii fi raagota mara dhaggitanee, isin alatti yennaa gatantane, achitti bowaa ilkaan qartan.There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but you yourselves are thrown out.

29Kolbaan gara aduun baatuu fi aduun seentuun, olii fi gadiin dhuttee mootummaa Waaqaa keessa teettee hin nyaatti.People will come from east and west and north and south, and will recline at the table in the kingdom of God.

30Worri amma duuba jiru, worra duraa hin te'a; worri amma dura jiru worra duubaa hin te'a» jedhe.And indeed, some who are last will be first, and some who are first will be last.”

31Yennaa san worra Fariisaayotaa keessaa namooti gariin gara Yesuusii dhufanee, «Heroodis waan si ijjeesiisaaf barbaaduuf asii deemi, addee dhibii dhaqi!» jedhaneen.At that very hour, some Pharisees came to Jesus and told Him, “Leave this place and get away, because Herod wants to kill You.”

32Yesuus deebisee, «Dhaqa'aatii jeedala saniin, Ani adhaa fi boru durriisota hin baasa, worra dhibamaalle hin fayyisa, guyyaa sadeesso'ootitti hujii tiyya hin hobbaasa.But Jesus replied, “Go tell that fox, ‘Look, I will keep driving out demons and healing people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach My goal.’

33Te'uu malee, ani adhaa fi boru, ittaanille garuma duraa deemuu male; sababille raagaan tokko Yerusaalem keessatti malee, addee dhibi'itti ijjeefamuu hin malle» isaaniin jedhe.Nevertheless, I must keep going today and tomorrow and the next day, for it is not admissible for a prophet to perish outside of Jerusalem.

34«E! Yerusaalem, Yerusaalem! Ati raagota ka ijjeettu, ergantoota gara keeti ergante ka dhaka'aan tuntu! Akka lukkuun cuucotii ifii koola ifii jalatti wolitti qabattu, anille ijoollee teeti wolitti qabiisaaf yennaa meeqa barbaade, isin ammoo didattane.O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those sent to her, how often I have longed to gather your children together as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were unwilling!

35Ilaa, manni keessan ona hin te'a. Ani isinitti hima, ‹Ka maqaa Gootta'aatiin dhufu, ka eebbifame› haga jettanutti deebitanee na hin dhaggitanu» jedhe.Look, your house is left to you desolate. And I tell you that you will not see Me again until you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.’”
