Luke 7 (GAX) · Opened

1Yesuus waan san mara kolba'aan jedheen duuba, gara Qifirnaahoomii deeme.When Jesus had concluded His discourse in the hearing of the people, He went to Capernaum.

2Ajajaan dhibbaa ka worra Rooma'aa tokko achi jiraayyu; tajaajilaan inni guddoo jaalatu akka malee dhibamee du'iisaaf dhikaateeraayyu.There a highly valued servant of a centurion was sick and about to die.

3Ajajaan dhibbaa gurra Yesuusii yennaa dhage'e, akka inni dhufee tajaajilaa isaa fayyisuuf maanguddooti Yihudootaa gariin akka isa gaafattu itti erge.When the centurion heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to ask Him to come and heal his servant.

4Isaan gara Yesuusii dhufanee, «Nami kun dhugumaan qarqaarsa keeti dhaggachuu qaba.They came to Jesus and pleaded with Him earnestly, “This man is worthy to have You grant this,

5Inni kolbaa teenna jaalata, Mana Waaqonfannaa Yihudootaalle nu'uuf ijaareera» jedhaa jabeessanee kadhatane.for he loves our nation and has built our synagogue.”

6Maarre Yesuus isaan woliin dhaqee, Yennaa gara manaa dhikaate ajajaan dhibbaa jaalota ifii itti ergee, «Goottaa kiyya, ati mana kiyya seeniisaaf ani nama malee moti! Ifi hin rakkisin;So Jesus went with them. But when He was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends with the message: “Lord, do not trouble Yourself, for I am not worthy to have You come under my roof.

7maaf jennaan, ani nama gara keeti dhufiisaaf malee moti. Ammoo afaanuma calla'aan ajaji, mucaan kiyya hin fayya.That is why I did not consider myself worthy to come to You. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.

8Anille nama baallii ol aantuu qabu jala nama jiru, loltoota ifiin jalatti ajajulle qaba. Isaan keessaa nama tokkoon, ‹Deemi› yoo jedhe, innille hin deema; ka dhibi'iin ‹Koy› yoo jedhe, innille hin dhufa; tajaajilaa kiyyalle'een, ‹Kana huji› yoo jedhe hin huja» jedhe.For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell one to go, and he goes, and another to come, and he comes. I tell my servant to do something, and he does it.”

9Yesuus tana yennaa dhage'e baaseffatee gara worra isa hordofuu midhatee, «Ani isinitti hima, dhugeeffannaa guddoo akkasii Israa'el keessalle'etti ijjumaa hin dhaggine» isaaniin jedhe.When Jesus heard this, He marveled at the centurion. Turning to the crowd following Him, He said, “I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith.”

10Worri ergamanelle gara mana ajajaa dhibbaa deebi'anee yennaa dhufane tajaajilaan isaa fayyeeruun dhaggane.And when the messengers returned to the house, they found the servant in good health.

11Eega san adoo hin turin, Yesuus gara qachaa Naayin jedhamuu tokko dhaqe; barattooti isaatii fi gumiin guddoolle isa woliin deemane.Soon afterward, Jesus went to a town called Nain. His disciples went with Him, accompanied by a large crowd.

12Yennaa Yesuus seensuma karra qacha'aa bira geye, namooti reeffa ba'ataneeranu itti dhufane. Nami du'eeru sun haadha hiyyeessaa takkaaf ilma tokkocha. Gumiin guddoon qachaa sanii isii woliin jirti.As He approached the town gate, He saw a dead man being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the town was with her.

13Goottaan yennaa isii dhagge, nayeefii, «Hin bowin» jedheen.When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said, “Do not weep.”

14Itti hiiqeelle raree reeffaan ba'ataneeranu harkaan tuqe. Worri reeffa ba'ateerulle dhaabbate; Yesuus, «Dargaggeessa! Ani si'iin jedha ka'i!» jedhe.Then He went up and touched the coffin, and those carrying it stood still. “Young man,” He said, “I tell you, get up!”

15Dargaggeessi du'e sun ol ka'ee tee'ee dubbatiisa jalqabe. Achiin duuba Yesuus deebisee haadhaaf isa kenne.And the dead man sat up and began to speak! Then Jesus gave him back to his mother.

16Isaan martinuu sodaatanee, «Raagaan guddaan nu'uma keessaa ka'eera; Waaqi kolbaa ifii fayyisu'uuf dhufeera» jedhanee Waaqa galateeffatane.A sense of awe swept over all of them, and they glorified God. “A great prophet has appeared among us!” they said. “God has visited His people!”

17Gurri Yesuusii biyya Yihuda'aa maraa fi adaala biyya sanii maratti dhage'ame.And the news about Jesus spread throughout Judea and all the surrounding region.

18Barattooti Yohaannisii waan kana mara yennaa isatti himane, Yohaannis barattoota ifii keessaa lamaan waamee,Then John’s disciples informed him about all these things.

19«Ka dhufu'uu male si'iiyyu moo ka dhibii eeganna?» jedhee, akka Goottaa gaafatanuuf erge.So John called two of his disciples and sent them to ask the Lord, “Are You the One who was to come, or should we look for someone else?”

20Worri ergamane yennaa gara Yesuusii dhufane, «Yohaannisiin cuuphaan, ‹Ka dhufu'uu male si'iiyyu moo ka dhibii eeganna?› jedhee gara keeti nu ergeera» jedhaneen.When the men came to Jesus, they said, “John the Baptist sent us to ask, ‘Are You the One who was to come, or should we look for someone else?’”

21Yennuma san Yesuus kolbaa hedduu dhibee irraa, dhukkuba adda addaa irraa, ayyaanota hamoota irraa fayyisee, worra ila balla'aa hedduulle ila bane.At that very hour Jesus healed many people of their diseases, afflictions, and evil spirits, and He gave sight to many who were blind.

22Ergantoota Yohaannisiitille'een, «Deebi'aatii, waan dhaggitanee fi waan dhageettane Yohaannisitti hima'a! Ballaan hin dhagga, naafi hin ideema, ka dhukkuba goga'aa farrisiisa'aan qabameeru hin fayya, duudaan hin dhage'a, du'aan hin ka'a, Oduun Gammadaa hiyyeeyyi'iif hin lallabanti.So He replied, “Go back and report to John what you have seen and heard: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor.

23Nami mamee anaan hin gufanne ka badhaadhe!» jedhe.Blessed is the one who does not fall away on account of Me.”

24Ergantooti Yohaannisii deemaneeranuun duuba, Yesuus marroo Yohaannisii gumi'itti dubbatiisa jalqabee: «Maan ilaaliisaaf gara goomole'ee dhaxxane? Shonbooqqoo qilleensi daassuu?After John’s messengers had left, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swaying in the wind?

25Maan ilaaliisaaf baatane? Nama uffana dansaa uffatee? Worri uffata dansaa uffatee fi qananiin mana moototaatitti dhaggaman.Otherwise, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? Look, those who wear elegant clothing and live in luxury are found in palaces.

26Natti hima'a, maan ilaaliisaaf baatane? Raaga'a moo? Eeti, ka Raagaa caalu dhaggitane.What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.

27Barreeffam Woyyichi marroo Yohaannisiitiif, ‹Ani ergamaa kiyya ka karaa keeti qopheessu si'iin dura erga› jedheera.This is the one about whom it is written: ‘Behold, I will send My messenger ahead of You, who will prepare Your way before You.’

28Ani isinitti hima, nama lafa irratti dhalate keessaa, ka Yohaannis caalu hin jiru. Ammoo mootummaa Waaqaa keessatti ka mara caalaa diqqaatu isa caala» jedhe.I tell you, among those born of women there is no one greater than John, yet even the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.”

29Kolbaan martinuu, worri qaraxa guurulle adoo hin hafin, yennaa dubbii Yesuusii dhage'ane, waan harka Yohaannisiititti cuuphamaneeranuuf, Waaqaaf dhugaa galchane.All the people who heard this, even the tax collectors, acknowledged God’s justice. For they had received the baptism of John.

30Fariisaayotii fi barsiisoti Seeraa ammoo, waan Waaqi isaanii yaadate tuffatanee, harka Yohaannisii cuupha'aatitti cuuphamuu didatane.But the Pharisees and experts in the law rejected God’s purpose for themselves, because they had not been baptized by John.

31Yesuus itti dabalee, «Kolbaa bara kanaa tana maaniin wol fakkeessa? Isaan maan fakkaatan?“To what, then, can I compare the men of this generation? What are they like?

32Isaan akka ijoollee dikkoo keessa teteettee, ‹Suusullee isinii afuunne, isin ammoo hin sirbine; faaruu awwaalaa isinii faarsine; isin ammoo hin boonne› jedhaa wolitti woccu fakkaatan.They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling out to one another: ‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not weep.’

33Yohaannisiin cuuphaan adoo sagalee hin nyaatin, daadhii woyni'iille hin unin dhufee jennaan, ‹Inni durriisa ifi keessaa qaba› jettane.For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon!’

34Ilmi Namaa ammoo, nyaataa unaa dhufee jennaan, ‹Nama kana ilaala'a! Inni gadhitoo, machowaa, jaala worra qaraxa guuruutii fi cubbaaleyyi'ii ti› jettane.The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look at this glutton and drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’

35Te'uu malee, qaruun Waaqaa worra isii fudhatu maraan dhugaa akka teete mirkanootteerti» jedhe.But wisdom is vindicated by all her children.”

36Fariisaayichi tokko Yesuus akka isa woliin nyaatuuf waamee, Yesuus mana isaa dhaqee nyaatiisaaf tee'e.Then one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to eat with him, and He entered the Pharisee’s house and reclined at the table.

37Qachaa san keessa dubartii cubbaalettii takkatti jira. Maarre isiin akka inni mana Fariisaayichaatitti nyaatiisatti jiru dhageettee, fiqiree duloo albaasaaxarii irraa hojjatante guutuu fiddee,When a sinful woman from that town learned that Jesus was dining there, she brought an alabaster jar of perfume.

38Yesuusiin duuba miila isaa bira dhaabbattee, bowaa imimmaaniin miila isaa jiitte. Achiin duuba rifeensa mataa ifiitiin miila isaa haxoottee, sunqataa fiqiree issite.As she stood behind Him at His feet weeping, she began to wet His feet with her tears and wipe them with her hair. Then she kissed His feet and anointed them with the perfume.

39Fariisaayichi yennaa tana dhagge, «Nami kun dhugumaan raagaa adoo te'ee, dubartiin isa qaqqaddu tun dubartii attamii akka teete hin beekaayyu; akka isiin cubbaaletti'ii hin beekaayyu» jedhee gadhaa ifiititti yaadate.When the Pharisee who had invited Jesus saw this, he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet, He would know who this is and what kind of woman is touching Him—for she is a sinner!”

40Yesuus isaan, «Simoon, ani waan si'itti himu qaba» jedhee dubbate. Innille «Barsiisa'a, Maan inni? Natti himi!» jedhe.But Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” “Tell me, Teacher,” he said.

41Namicha beesee liqeessu tokko irraa namooti lamaan ka beesee liqeeffataneeranu jiran. Tokkochi mindaa gara woggaa lamaa fi wodhakka'aa dhiyaatu liqeeffatee, kuun mindaa gara ji'a sadii dhiyaatu liqeeffate.“Two men were debtors to a certain moneylender. One owed him five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.

42Isaan lamaanuu waan deebisanee kaffalanu dhabanee jennaan, inni akkasumaan isaaniif lakkise. Jara lamaan tana keessaa kamitti irra isa jaalata?When they were unable to repay him, he forgave both of them. Which one, then, will love him more?”

43Simoon deebisee, «Ka liqaan guddaan isaa lakkifametti irra jaalata natti fakkaata» jedhe. Yesuus, «Dhugaa jette» jedheen.“I suppose the one who was forgiven more,” Simon replied. “You have judged correctly,” Jesus said.

44Achiin duuba gara dubartitti'ii garagalee, Simooniin, «Dubartii tana dhaggitaa? Yennaa ani mana keeti dhufe ati bisaan miilaa naaf hin kennine. Isiin ammoo imimmaan ifiitiin miila kiyya dhixxee, rifeensa mataa ifiitiin haxxe.And turning toward the woman, He said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? When I entered your house, you did not give Me water for My feet, but she wet My feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.

45Ati sunqattee na hin fudhanne, isiin ammoo haga ani dhufee jalqaddee miila kiyya sunqatiisa hin lakkinne.You did not greet Me with a kiss, but she has not stopped kissing My feet since I arrived.

46Ati mataa kiyya zayitii hin issine, isiin ammoo fiqiree gatii guddo'oo miila kiyya issite.You did not anoint My head with oil, but she has anointed My feet with perfume.

47Maarre, ani si'iin jedha, jaalalli guddaan isiin mudhitte kun, cubbuu isi'ii heddu'uuf araarri akka kenname mirkaneessa. Nami araarri diqqaan kennameef ammoo, jaalala diqqaa callaa mudhisa» jedhe.Therefore I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven, for she has loved much. But he who has been forgiven little loves little.”

48Achiin duuba Yesuus dubartitti'iin «Cubbuu teetiif araarri kennameera» jedhe.Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”

49Worri dhibiin ka isa woliin nyaatiisatti jiranu gariin, «Ka araara cubbu'uu kennu kun, eennu inni?» wol woliin jedhane.But those at the table began to say to themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”

50Yesuus ammoo dubartitti'iin, «Dhugeeffannaan teeti si fayyitteerti; nageyaan deemi» jedhe.And Jesus told the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”
