Luke 20 (GAX) · Opened

1Gaafa tokko Yesuus Galma Waaqaa keessatti kolbaa barsiisiisaa fi Oduu Gammadaa lallabiisatti adoo jiruu, sooreyyiin hayyootaatii fi barsiisoti Seera Muuse'ee, maanguddoota woliin gara isaa dhufanee,One day as Jesus was teaching the people in the temple courts and proclaiming the gospel, the chief priests and scribes, together with the elders, came up to Him.

2«Baallii maaniitiin waan kana goota? Eentu baallii tana si'iif kenne? Nutti himi!» jedhaneen.“Tell us,” they said, “by what authority are You doing these things, and who gave You this authority?”

3Inni deebisee, «Anille gaaffii tokko isin gaafadha;“I will also ask you a question,” Jesus replied. “Tell Me:

4cuuphaan Yohaannis cuuphe Waaqa irraa moo, nama irraa dhutte? Natti hima'a!» jedhe.John’s baptism—was it from heaven, or from men?”

5Isaan waan kana irratti mari'atanee, « ‹Waaqa irraa› yoo jenne, ‹Maaf dubbii isaa hin dhugeeffatin ree?› nuun jedha.They deliberated among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will ask, ‘Why did you not believe him?’

6‹Nama irraa› yoo jenne ammoo, kolbaan martinuu akka raagaa tokkootitti Yohaannis waan dhugeeffatteertuuf, dhaka'aan nu tunti» woliin jedhane.But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are convinced that John was a prophet.”

7Maarre isaan, «Eessaa akka dhutte nuuti hin beennu» jedhanee deebisane.So they answered that they did not know where it was from.

8Yesuus deebisee, «Anille baallii maaniitiin waan kana akka godhu isinitti hin himu» isaaniin jedhe.And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”

9Yesuus itti aansee mammaassa kana kolba'atti mammaakee, «Namichi tokko muka woyni'ii fichaa ifiititti dhaabee, qonnaan bultootaaf kireessee, biyya fago'oo dhaqee achi ture.Then He proceeded to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard, rented it out to some tenants, and went away for a long time.

10Yennaan guuranu geennaan, qooda midhaan woyni'ii ka isa gewu akka itti kennanuuf garbicha ifii tokko gara qonnaan bultootaa erge. Isaan ammoo isa dhaananee harka duwwaa ari'ane.At harvest time, he sent a servant to the tenants to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard. But the tenants beat the servant and sent him away empty-handed.

11Maarre inni garbicha dhibii itti erge; isaan isalle dhaananee salphisanee harka duwwaa ari'ane.So he sent another servant, but they beat him and treated him shamefully, sending him away empty-handed.

12Inni ammalle garbicha sadeesso'oo itti erge; isaan isaalle madeessanee alatti darbane.Then he sent a third, but they wounded him and threw him out.

13Achiin duuba abbaan muka woyni'ii, ‹Ani maan godhu? Ilma kiyya jaalatamaa itti erga; isa hin ulfeessan fa te'a› jedhe.‘What shall I do?’ asked the owner of the vineyard. ‘I will send my beloved son. Perhaps they will respect him.’

14Qonnaan bultooti ammoo yennaa isa dhaggane, ‹Kun ka dhaalu; akka dhaalli nu'uuf te'u, kowaa isa ijjeennaa!› jedhanee mari'atane.But when the tenants saw the son, they discussed it among themselves and said, ‘This is the heir. Let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’

15Maarre isaan fichaa muka woyni'ii keessaa alatti isa darbanee ijjeesane. «Yoona abbaan fichaa muka woyni'ii maan isaan godha laati?So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?

16Inni hin dhufa, qonnaan bultoota san hin ijjeesa, fichaa muka woyni'iille worra dhibi'itti hin kennata» jedhe. Kolbaan tana yennaa dhageette, «Hanqisi!» jette.He will come and kill those tenants and give the vineyard to others.” And when the people heard this, they said, “May such a thing never happen!”

17Yesuus ammoo isaan laalee, «‹Dhakaan worri mana ijaaru tuffate, dhakaa dhakaa maraa caalaa barbaadamu te'e› jedhante ta barreeffante maan jechu'u ree?But Jesus looked directly at them and said, “Then what is the meaning of that which is written: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone’?

18Nami dhakaa san irratti jigu maraa hin caccaba; nami dhakaan sun irratti jigu ammoo hin bututa» jedhe.Everyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed.”

19Barsiisoti Seera Muuse'eetii fi sooreyyiin hayyootaa akka Yesuus mammaassa kana marroo isaaniitiif mammaake beekanee, yennuma san isa qabiisaaf barbaadane; ammoo kolbaa sodaatane.When the scribes and chief priests realized that Jesus had spoken this parable against them, they sought to arrest Him that very hour. But they were afraid of the people.

20Isaan Yesuus baalli'ii fi hunna bulchaa worra Rooma'aatitti dabarsanee kenniisaaf, waan inni dubbatuun qaxafiisaaf isa gaadane; maarre dootuu nama balchaa ifi fakkeessitu itti ergane.So they watched Him closely and sent spies who pretended to be sincere. They were hoping to catch Him in His words in order to hand Him over to the rule and authority of the governor.

21Maarre dootuun, «Barsiisa'a, wonni ati dubbattuu fi barsiittu dhugaa akka teete nuuti hin beenna; nama adoo wol hin caalchisin karaa Waaqaa dhuga'aan hin barsiitta.“Teacher,” they inquired, “we know that You speak and teach correctly. You show no partiality but teach the way of God in accordance with the truth.

22Mootii worra Rooma'aatiif gibira gabbaruun seera moo seeraa moti?» jettee isa gaafatte.Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”

23Yesuus ammoo maltummaa isaanii dhaggee,But Jesus saw through their duplicity and said to them,

24«Beesee ittiin bitaa gurgurattanu takka natti mudhisa'a; Fakki'ii fi barreeffama eennuutitti irra jira?» isaaniin jedhe. Jennaan, «Ka mooticha worra Rooma'aati» jedhane.“Show Me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” “Caesar’s,” they answered.

25Maarre Yesuus isaaniin, «Ka mootichaa mootichaaf, ka Waaqaa Waaqaaf kenna'a!» jedhe.So Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”

26Isaan kolbaa san duratti waan inni dubbatteen isa qaxafiisaaf hin dandeenne. Deebii isaa baaseffatanee cadhisane.And they were unable to trap Him in His words before the people. And amazed at His answer, they fell silent.

27Saduqooti gariin, worri du'aa ka'iis hin jiru jedhanu, gara Yesuusii dhufanee,Then some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to question Him.

28«Barsiisa'a, Muuseen, ‹Nami tokko niitii fuudhee ijoollee adoo hin uumatin isii irraa yoo du'e, obboleessi isaa haadha hiyyeessaa san dhaalee sanyii obboleessa ifiitiif dabarsuuti› jedhee nu'uuf barreesseera.“Teacher,” they said, “Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man is to marry his brother’s widow and raise up offspring for him.

29Obboleeyyan torba, tokko jiran. Angafichi isaanii niitii fuudhee ijoollee adoo hin uumatin du'e.Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a wife but died childless.

30Obboleessi isatti aanulle, haadhuma hiyyeessaa san dhaalee ijoollee adoo hin uumatin du'e;Then the second

31achiin duuba obboleessi sadeesso'oolle isii dhaale. Akkasuma obboleeyyan torbaanuu adoo isii irraa ijoollee hin uumatin duute.and the third married the widow, and in the same way all seven died, leaving no children.

32Muummee irratti dubartittiille duute.And last of all, the woman died.

33Amma, isaan torbaanuu niitumma'aan isii waan fuudhaneeranuuf, guyyaa du'aa ka'iisaa isiin eennuuf haadha manaa teeti ree?» jettee gaafatte.So then, in the resurrection, whose wife will she be? For all seven were married to her.”

34Yesuus deebisee, «Worri biyya lafa tanaa hin fuudha, hin heerumalle'e;Jesus answered, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage.

35worri du'aa ka'iisaa fi biyya lafaa ta dhuttu keessatti le'iisaaf malane ammoo, hin fuudhanu, hin heerumanulle'e.But those who are considered worthy to share in the age to come and in the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage.

36Isaan akka ergantoota Waaqaa waan te'aneef, deebi'anee hin du'anu; waan du'aa ka'aneeranuufille ijoollee Waaqaa hin te'an.In fact, they can no longer die, because they are like the angels. And since they are sons of the resurrection, they are sons of God.

37Muuseenuu, dabarsii marroo tusee gubattuu keessatti, Gootta'aan, ‹Waaqa Abrahaamii, Waaqa Yisihaqii, Waaqa Yaaqoobii› jedhee waan waameef, worri du'ane akka du'aa ka'anu mudhiseera.Even Moses demonstrates that the dead are raised, in the passage about the burning bush. For he calls the Lord ‘the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’

38Martinuu isaaf jiraataa waan te'aneef, inni Waaqa worra jiraata'aa ti malee Waaqa du'ootaatii moti» isaaniin jedhe.He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to Him all are alive.”

39Barsiisoti Seera Muuse'ee gariin deebisanee, «Barsiisaa, dansaa dubbatte» jedhane.Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, You have spoken well!”

40Achiin duuba isaan deebi'anee gaaffii dhibii isa gaafatiisaaf itti hin gamne.And they did not dare to question Him any further.

41Achiin duuba Yesuus, «Attamiin isaan, ‹Masiihiin Ilma Daawitii ti› jechu'uu dande'an?» jedhee isaan gaafate.Then Jesus declared, “How can it be said that the Christ is the Son of David?

42Daawiti ifiifuu kitaaba faaru'uu keessatti, «‹Goottaan Goottaa kiyyaan, «Haga ani diinota keeti ejjata miila keetii jala kewutti, midda kiyyatti tee'i» jedheera› jedhe.For David himself says in the book of Psalms: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand

44Daawiti, ‹Goottaa kiyya› jedhee yoo isa waame, attamiin Masiihiin ilma isaa te'a ree?» jedhe.Thus David calls Him ‘Lord.’ So how can He be David’s son?”

45Kolbaan martinuu adoo dhage'iisatti jirtuu, Yesuus baratoota ifiitiin,In the hearing of all the people, Jesus said to His disciples,

46«Barsiisota Seera Muuse'ee, ka woyaa dhedheertuu uffatanee asii fi achi ideemuu jaalatanu, addee dikko'ootitti nageya ulfinnaa akka isaan fuudhanu jaalatanu, Mana Waaqonfannaa Yihudootaa keessatti barcumaa dansaa, lafa jilaatittille addee ulfinnaa filatanu irraa ifi eegadha'a!“Beware of the scribes. They like to walk around in long robes, and they love the greetings in the marketplaces, the chief seats in the synagogues, and the places of honor at banquets.

47Isaan mana haadhotii hiyyeessaa sossanee, itti aalatiisaaf dheeressanee daadimatan. Muraa hantu'utti isaanitti murama» jedhe.They defraud widows of their houses, and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will receive greater condemnation.”
