Mark 12 (GAX) · Opened

1Achiin duuba Yesuus isaanitti mammaakee, «Namichi tokko muka woyni'ii fichaa ifiititti dhaabee, dalleya itti marsee ijaaree, boolla midhaan isi'ii itti cunfu qotee, xelleephoo irra tee'anee eeganu ijaare. Achiin duuba qonnaan bultootatti kireessee, biyya san lakkisee deeme.Then Jesus began to speak to them in parables: “A man planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a wine vat, and built a watchtower. Then he rented it out to some tenants and went away on a journey.

2Yennaan midhaan muka woyni'ii guuranu geennaan, midhaan fudhatiisaaf hojjataa tokko gara qonnaan bultoota ifii erge.At harvest time, he sent a servant to the tenants to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard.

3Qonnaan bultooti sun isa qabanee, dhaananee harka duwwaa ari'ane.But they seized the servant, beat him, and sent him away empty-handed.

4Abbaan muka woyni'ii ammalle hojjataa dhibii gara isaanii erge; qonnaan bultooti mataa isaa dachaanee qaanessane.Then he sent them another servant, and they struck him over the head and treated him shamefully.

5Abbaan muka woyni'ii ammalle hojjataa dhibii gara isaanii erge; isalle ijjeesane; worra dhibiille akkuma kana kaan dhaananee, kaan ijjeesane.He sent still another, and this one they killed. He sent many others; some they beat and others they killed.

6Abbaan muka woyni'ii ilma guddoo jaalatu tokko qaba. Muummee irratti, ‹Ilma kiyya hin ulfeessan› jedhee, isa gara isaanii erge.Finally, having one beloved son, he sent him to them. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said.

7Qonnaan bultooti sun ammoo, ‹Ka abbaa fichaa muka woyni'ii dhaalu isaa kana; kowa'a isa ijjeennaa, dhaalli nu'uuf hin te'a› woliin jedhane.But the tenants said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’

8Maarre isaan ilma abbaa fichaa muka woyni'ii qabanee ijjeesanee, fichaa woyni'ii keessaa alatti qolaansane.So they seized the son, killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.

9«Yoona abbaan fichaa muka woyni'ii maan godha ree? Inni hin dhufa; qonnaan bultoota san hin ijjeesa; fichaa muka woyni'ii san, worra dhibi'itti hin kennata.What then will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and kill those tenants and give the vineyard to others.

10Isin Barreeffama Woyyicha keessatti ‹Dhakaan worri mana ijaaru tuffate, dhakaa dhakaa mara caalaa barbaadamu te'e.Have you never read this Scripture: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.

11Wonni kun waan Goottaan tolche; ila teennalle'etti waan baasaa ti;› ta jettu hin dubbinnee?» jedhee gaafate.This is from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?”

12Bulchitooti Yihudootaa mammaassa kana akka Yesuus isaaniif mammaake beekanee, isa qabiisaaf barbaadane; ammoo gumii waan sodaataneef isa lakkisanee deemane.At this, the leaders sought to arrest Jesus, for they knew that He had spoken this parable against them. But fearing the crowd, they left Him and went away.

13Isaan waan inni dubbatuun isa xaqaru'uuf jedhanee, worra Fariisaayotaatii fi golii Heroodisii keessaa jara tokko Yesuusitti ergane.Later, they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to catch Jesus in His words.

14Worri ergamane dhufanee, «Barsiisa'a! Akka ati dhugaa dubbattu nuuti hin beenna; nama tokkolle hin sodaattu; karaa Waaqaa dhuga'aan barsiitta malee, nama wol hin caalchittu. Mooticha mootota worra Rooma'aatiif gibira kaffaluun seera moo seeraa moti? Hin kaffalla moo hin kaffallu?» jedhaneen.“Teacher,” they said, “we know that You are honest and seek favor from no one. Indeed, You are impartial and teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not? Should we pay them or not?”

15Inni ammoo kijiba isaanii beekee, «Isin maaf na xaqariisaaf wodhaantan? Me hin ilaalaa, beesee san fida'a!» jedheen.But Jesus saw through their hypocrisy and said, “Why are you testing Me? Bring Me a denarius to inspect.”

16Isaan beesee itti finnaan, «Fakki'ii fi maqaan irra jiru kun ka eennuuti?» jedhee gaafate. Isaanille, «Ka mooticha mootota worra Rooma'aa ti» jedhaneen.So they brought it, and He asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?” “Caesar’s,” they answered.

17Maarre Yesuus isaaniin, «Ka mootichaa mootichaaf, ka Waaqaa Waaqaaf kenna'a!» jedhe; isaanille isa baaseffatane.Then Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.” And they marveled at Him.

18Saduqooti gariin, worri du'aa ka'iis hin jiru jedhanu gara Yesuusii dhufanee,Then the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus and questioned Him:

19«Barsiisa'a! Muuseen, ‹Nami tokko niitii fuudhee adoo hin uumatin yoo isii irraa du'e, obboleessi isaa dubartii san dhaalee sanyii obboleessa ifiitiif dabarsuu ti!› jedhee Seera keessatti nu'uuf barreesseera.“Teacher, 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.

20Obboleeyyan torbaan tokko jiran; angafichi isaanii niitii fuudhee ijoollee adoo hin uumatin du'e.Now there were seven brothers. The first one married and died, leaving no children.

21Obboleessi isatti aanulle dubartuma san dhaalee, ijoollee adoo hin uumatin du'e; obboleessi sadeesso'oolle akkasuma isii dhaalee irraa du'e.Then the second one married the widow, but he also died and left no children. And the third did likewise.

22Isaan torbaanuu dubartuma san fuudhanee, ammoo ijoollee adoo hin uumatin irraa du'ane. Muummee irratti dubartiin sunille duute.In this way, none of the seven left any children. And last of all, the woman died.

23Isaan torbaanuu niitumma'aan isii fuudhaneeranii, guyyaa worri du'ane ka'anu isaan keessaa kamiif niitii teeti?» jedhanee isa gaafatane.In the resurrection, then, whose wife will she be? For all seven were married to her.”

24Yesuus isaaniin, «Isin akka malee dokonkortane! Maaf akka teete beettanii? Wonni akkana teeteef, isin Barreeffama Woyyicha yookiin hunna Waaqaa hin beettanu.Jesus said to them, “Aren’t you mistaken, because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God?

25Yennaa worri du'ane ka'anu, isaan akka ergantoota ol-gubba'aa te'an malee, hin fuudhanu, hin heerumanulle'e.When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage. Instead, they will be like the angels in heaven.

26Marroo ka'iisa worra du'anee: Kitaaba Muuse'ee keessatti addee waan tusee gubattuu dubbattu hin dubbinnee? Achitti ta barreeffante, Waaqi Muuse'een, ‹Ani Waaqa Abraamii, Waaqa Yisihaqiitii fi Waaqa Yaaqoobii ti› jedhe.But concerning the dead rising, have you not read about the burning bush in the Book of Moses, how God told him, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’?

27Inni Waaqa worra jira'aa ti malee, Waaqa worra du'a'aatii moti. Isin akka malee dokonkortane» jedhe.He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are badly mistaken!”

28Barsiisota Seera Muuse'ee keessaa tokko yennaa isaan wol mormanu achi jira. Yesuus deebii dansaa akka deebiseef dhaggee, gara isaa dhufee, «Ajaja mara keessaa guddichi kam?» jedhee Yesuus gaafate.Now one of the scribes had come up and heard their debate. Noticing how well Jesus had answered them, he asked Him, “Which commandment is the most important of all?”

29Yesuus, «Ajaji guddichi, ‹Israa'el, dhage'i! Goottaan Waaqi keenna Goottaa tokkocha.Jesus replied, “This is the most important: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One.

30Goottaa Waaqa keeti gadhaa keeti tokkochaan, lubbuu teeti takkatti'iin, qalbii teeti takkatti'iin, hunna teeti takkatti'iin› jaaladhu.Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’

31Ajaji guddichi lammeesso'oo, ‹Nama mara akka mataa keetii jaaladhu› ka jedhu kana. Ajaji guddichi isaan lamaan kana caalu ka dhibiin hin jiru» jedhe.The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these.”

32Barsiisaan Seera Muuse'ee Yesuusiin, «Barsiisa'a! Dansaa dubbatte; ‹Goottaa Waaqa tokkocha malee, Waaqi dhibiin hin jiru› jettee ka dubbate dhuga'a.“Right, Teacher,” the scribe replied. “You have stated correctly that God is One and there is no other but Him,

33Waaqa gadhaa tokkochaan, qalbii takkatti'iin, hunna takkatti'iin jaalatiisii fi ollaa ifii akka mataa ifii jaalatiis, woreega ciinca'aatii fi woreega dhibii Waaqaaf dhiyeessuu caala» jedhe.and to love Him with all your heart and with all your understanding and with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself. This is more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.”

34Yesuus akka inni qarumma'aan deebise dhaggee, «Ati mootummaa Waaqaa irraa fagoo hin jirtu» jedheen. Eegii san nami tokkolle gaaffii dhibii isa gaafatiisaaf itti hin gamne.When Jesus saw that the man had answered wisely, He said, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” And no one dared to question Him any further.

35Adoo Galma waaqaa keessatti barsiisiisatti jiruu, «Attamiin barsiisoti Seera Muuse'ee, ‹Mesiihiin ilma Daawitii ti› jechuu dande'an?While Jesus was teaching in the temple courts, He asked, “How can the scribes say that the Christ is the Son of David?

36Ayyaanni Woyyichi akka Daawiti, ‹Waaqi Goottaa kiyyaan, diinota keeti miila keeti jalatti, haga Ani si'iif kewutti, midda kiyyatti tee'i› jedhu'uuf akeekeera.Speaking by the Holy Spirit, David himself declared: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand until I put Your enemies under Your feet.”’

37Daawiti ifiifuu, ‹Goottaa kiyya› jedhee yoo isa waame, attamiin Mesiihiin ilma Daawitii te'uu dande'a?» jedhee gaafate. Gumiin guddoon gammadaan isaa dhageette.David himself calls Him ‘Lord.’ So how can He be David’s son?” And the large crowd listened to Him with delight.

38Yesuus adoo isaan barsiisuu, «Barsiisota Seera Muuse'ee, ka woyaa dheertuu uffatanee asii fi achi deemaa, addee dikko'ootitti akka nageya ulfinnaa isaan fuudhanu jaalatanu,In His teaching Jesus also said, “Watch out for the scribes. They like to walk around in long robes, to receive greetings in the marketplaces,

39Mana Waaqonfannaa Yihudootaa keessatti barcumaa duraa, lafa jilaatitti addee ulfinnaa, worra filatu irraa ifi eeggadha'a!and to have the chief seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets.

40Isaan daadimata dheertuu daadimatanu mudhisiisaan, mana haadhotii hiyyeessaa sossanee itti aalatiisaaf dheeressanee daadimatan» jedhe.They defraud widows of their houses, and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will receive greater condemnation.”

41Yesuus Galma Waaqaa keessatti cinaa subba kennansa keessa buusanuu tee'ee, akka kolbaan beesee ifii keessa buuttu ilaale. Dureeyyiin hedduun beesee guddoo keessa buutte;As Jesus was sitting opposite the treasury, He watched the crowd putting money into it. And many rich people put in large amounts.

42achiin duuba haati hiyyeessaa hiyyeettiin takka dhuttee beesee sibiila diima'aa didiqqoo lamaan, ta gatiin isi'ii akka malee diqqo'oo keessa buutte.Then one poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which amounted to a small fraction of a denarius.

43Yesuus barattoota ifii waamee, «Ani dhugumaan isinitti hima! Haati hiyyeessaa hiyyeettiin tun worra dhibii mara caalaa subba kennansaa keessa buutte jedhe.Jesus called His disciples to Him and said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more than all the others into the treasury.

44Worri dhibiin qabeenna guddaa qabanu irraa ka hafe subba keessa buusane; isiin ammoo adoo hiyyeetti'iituu, waan qaddu mara ka ittiin bultu subba san keessa buutte» jedhe.For they all contributed out of their surplus, but she out of her poverty has put in all she had to live on.”
