Luke 16 (GMVGGM)

1Yesussay bena kaallizaytas hiz gides “issi dure adde daysas iza keeththa ayssiza issi assi dees, izi he dure addezza miishsha ogey bayndda lalizayssa worey ha dure addezza haythan wodhides.Jesus also said to His disciples, “There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions.

2Dure addezzi uraa xeeygidi <hayso ta siyizaysi aazzee? Haysafe doomada ne ta keethas ayssizadde gidanas dandda7ontagish ne alafetetha garsan diza miishsha oykkida mazgaba zaara>” gides.So he called him in to ask, ‘What is this I hear about you? Turn in an account of your management, for you cannot be manager any longer.’

3Keetha ayssizaddezzi ba wozinara ta Goday tana ta alafetethafe goodana gees goya maanas taas wolqay baa, woossanas yeelatays, hessa gididagish ay ootho gides.The manager said to himself, ‘What shall I do, now that my master is taking away my position? I am too weak to dig and too ashamed to beg.

4Tani alafetethafe kezikko asay tana mokki ekkana mala oothanna oge ta erays.I know what I will do so that after my removal from management, people will welcome me into their homes.’

5Hessa gish iza Goda acoy ista bolla diza asata issi issi ura xeeygides. Koyro yidaysa ne bolla Goda acoy aapunee? gides.And he called in each one of his master’s debtors. ‘How much do you owe my master?’ he asked the first.

6Issi xeetu xaaro kumetha zayitey ta bolla dees gides. Alafezi zaaridi kase ne faramida woraqqata hey ekka uttada elle ichachu tamu xaaro gaada xaafa gides.‘A hundred measures of olive oil,’ he answered. ‘Take your bill,’ said the manager, ‘sit down quickly, and write fifty.’

7Kaalidi hankkoysa nech ne bolla aappun dizee? gides. Ichachu tamu il7o gisttey dees gides. Alafezi zaaridi kase ne tal7ashe faramida waraqqata hey oyddu tamu il7o gaada xaafa gides.Then he asked another, ‘And how much do you owe?’ ‘A hundred measures of wheat,’ he replied. ‘Take your bill and write eighty,’ he told him.

8Godazikka shocechiza alafezi oothida cincatetha gish nashides. Ha alame nayti bena milatizaytara diza gaagotethan poo7o naytappe aadhdhidi cincca.The master commended the dishonest manager because he had acted shrewdly. For the sons of this age are more shrewd in dealing with their own kind than are the sons of light.

9Hessa gish tani intena gizay ha biitta miishshay wurida wode medhina keeththan inte ekettana mala ha7i intes diza miishshaara intes lagge medhdhite gays gides.I tell you, use worldly wealth to make friends for yourselves so that when it is gone, they will welcome you into eternal dwellings.

10Guutha miishshan amanetizza uray daro miishshan amanettanna, guutha miishshan amanettonttaddey daro miishshan amanettenna.Whoever is faithful with very little will also be faithful with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much.

11Histikko inte ha biitta miishshan amanettenna ixxikko tuma miishsha hadara oykkite giidi ooni intes immanee?So if you have not been faithful with worldly wealth, who will entrust you with true riches?

12Asa miishshan inte amanettontta ixxikko intes buzu7a gidana miish ooni immanee?And if you have not been faithful with the belongings of another, who will give you belongings of your own?

13Nam77u Godas issi to issi bolla azazettana dandda7iza uray oonikka deenna woy issa dosidi issa ixxees woykko issakko shiiqidi hankkoysa leqqes. Xoossasine miishasinne haaristanas dandda7ekkista.No servant can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.”

14Miishsha darisi siiqiza Farsaweti hessa wursi siyidi Yesussa qidhida.The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all of this and were scoffing at Jesus.

15Yesussaykka istas inte intena asa achchan xilisista gido attin Xoossi inte wozina erees. Asa achchan bonchettidda uray Xoossa sinthan tuna giidi istas yoottides.So He said to them, “You are the ones who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is prized among men is detestable before God.

16Muse wogayne nabeti Yanisay yaana gakanas haasa7ishe gam77ida. Hessa kaallidi qasse Xoossa kawotethas miishrachchoy sabbakketides, asi wurikka hee gelanaas wadhetes.The Law and the Prophets were proclaimed until John. Since that time, the gospel of the kingdom of God is being preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it.

17Gido attin Muse wogappe issi qeerina kundda atanaysafe saloynne biittaynne aadhanaysi kawisha gidana.But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for a single stroke of a pen to drop out of the Law.

18Be machcho anjji yedidi hara machcho ekkiza assi wurikka laymates ba addefe anjetta bidaro ekkidayskka laymatees.Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

19Qassekka Yesussay istas lo7o mayo mayidi gallas gallas lo7o duussa ufayssan diza issi dure assi dees gides.Now there was a rich man dressed in purple and fine linen, who lived each day in joyous splendor.

20He addezza pengeni kumetha bollay madunth xalla gidida issi Alaazaaree geetettiza manqo adde dizaysi zin7idi dees.And a beggar named Lazarus lay at his gate, covered with sores

21Izikka he dure addezza keeththan asay kath miishni maaddafe hugen wodhiza duuxxeth maxi maanaas amotees. Kanatikka iza maduntha laacetees.and longing to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.

22Ha manqo addezzikka hayqqin salo kiitanchati Abrame ki7o ekki bida dure addezzikka hayqqidi moogetides.One day the beggar died and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s side. And the rich man also died and was buried.

23Si77olen wayetishe dhoqqu giidi haahon Abrame xellides, Alaazaareekka ba ki77n oykk dishin be7ides.In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham from afar, with Lazarus by his side.

24Dre addezzi aawa Abrame hayssan wayetiza taas michcharki Alaazaarey ba biradhdhe xeera irxx haathan bochchidi ta inxxrs irxisana mala yedarki giii wassides.So he cried out, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue. For I am in agony in this fire.’

25Gdo attin Abramey ta nazo neni biitta bolla dashe lo7o duus deyida mala Alaazaarey kase waye beydyss ne qopp gido attin ha7i izi ufa7etishn neni waaistassa gides.But Abraham answered, ‘Child, remember that during your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things. But now he is comforted here, while you are in agony.

26Hessi wuri hanshin haan diza assi haappe hee intekko aadhdhontta mala qassekka intekkon dizay haa nukko aadhdhana koyiza uray haa aadhdhontta mala intesine nuus giddon gita aafoy giiggetides gides.And besides all this, a great chasm has been fixed between us and you, so that even those who wish cannot cross from here to you, nor can anyone cross from there to us.’

27Dure addezzi qasse aabo hessi hessagidikko neni Alaazaare duge ta aawasso yedanamala nena woossays, taas ichachu ishati deetes, hayti hayssa waayeso yontamala biidi istas lo7ethi yootana mala Alaazaare yedarkki gides.‘Then I beg you, father,’ he said, ‘send Lazarus to my father’s house,

29Abramey izas zaaridi Museynne nabeti heen ista achchan diza gish istafe siyeto gides.But Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let your brothers listen to them.’

30Izika zaaridi aawa Abrame hessamala gidenna hayqqida asappe issi uray hayqoppe dendi biikko isti Xoossa maaretethan gelana gides.‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone is sent to them from the dead, they will repent.’

31Abrameykka zaaridi Museynne nabeti gizayssa siyonta ixxikko hayqqida asappe issi uray dendidakkokka isti amanettenna gides.Then Abraham said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be persuaded even if someone rises from the dead.’”
