Luke 16 (GMVL) · Opened

1Yesusi bana kaallizaytas, «Issi dure adde dayssas iza keeththaa ayssiza issi asi dees; izi he dure addeza miishshaa ogey baynda laallizayssa worey dure addeza hayththan wodhdhides.Jesus also said to His disciples, “There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions.

2Dure addezi he addeza xeygidi, ‹Haysso ta siyizayssi hessi aazee? Hayssafe doommada ne ta keeththaa ayssizaade gidanaas dandayontta gishshas ne alaafeteththan giddon diza miishshaa oykkida mazgabaa taas 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.’

3«Keeththaa ayssiza addezi ba wozinara, ‹Ta goday tana ta alaafeteththaafe gooddana gees; goya maanaas taas wolqqay baa; woossanaas yeellatays; hessa gishshas ay ooththoo?› giidi,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 alaafeteththaafe kezikko asay tana mokki ekkana mala ooththana oge ta erays.I know what I will do so that after my removal from management, people will welcome me into their homes.’

5«Hessa gishshas iza godaa acoy istta bolla diza asata issaa issaa xeygides. Koyro yidayssa, ‹Ne bolla godaa acoy aappunee?› gides.And he called in each one of his master’s debtors. ‘How much do you owe my master?’ he asked the first.

6« ‹Issi xeetu xaaro kumeththa zaytey ta bolla dees› gides; alaafezi zaaridi kase ne faramida waraqataa hey ekka uttada elle ichchashu tammu xaaro gaada xaafa gides.‘A hundred measures of olive oil,’ he answered. ‘Take your bill,’ said the manager, ‘sit down quickly, and write fifty.’

7«Kaallidi hankkoyssa, ‹Nech, ne bolla aappuni dizee?› gides. ‹Xeetu ogoro gisttey dees› gides; alaafezi zaaridi, ‹Kase ne tal7ashe faramida waraqataa hey osppun tammu ogoro 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.

8«Godazikka shocechchiza alaafezi ooththida cinccateththaa gishshas iza nashshides; hayssabha alameza nayti bana misatizaytara diza gaagoteththan poo7o naytappe aadhdhida cinccata.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.

9«Hessa gishshas tani inttena gizay ha biittaa miishshay wurida wode mernaa keeththan intte ekettana mala ha7i inttes diza miishshaara inttes lagge medhdhite gays.I tell you, use worldly wealth to make friends for yourselves so that when it is gone, they will welcome you into eternal dwellings.

10Guuththa miishshan ammanettizaadey daro miishshankka ammanettana; guuththa miishshan ammanettonttaadey daro miishshankka ammanettenna.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.

11Histtiko intte ha biittaa miishshan ammanettontta ixxiko tuma miishsha hadara oykkite giidi ooni inttes immanee?So if you have not been faithful with worldly wealth, who will entrust you with true riches?

12Asa miishshan intte ammanettontta ixxiko inttes buzo gidana miish ooni immanee?And if you have not been faithful with the belongings of another, who will give you belongings of your own?

13«Nam7u godaas issito azazettana dandayzaadey oonikka deenna; woykko issaa dosidi issaa ixxees woykko issaakko shiiqidi hankkoyssa leqqees; Xoossassinne miishshas issife gaththi haarettanaas dandayekketa» gides.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.”

14Miish darssi siiqiza Farsaaweti hessa ubbaa siyidi Yesusa qidhida.The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all of this and were scoffing at Jesus.

15Yesusikka isttas, «Intte inttena asa achchan xilliseeta; gido attiin Xoossi intte wozina erees; asa achchan bonchchettidaadey Xoossa sinththan tuna» giidi yootides.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.

16«Muse wogaynne nabeti Yohannisi yaana gakkanaas yootishe gam7ida. Hessa kaallidi qasse Xoossa Kawoteththa Mishiraachcho qaalay sabbakettides. Asi wurikka hee gelanaas wadhettees.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 attiin Muse wogappe issi qeerina kunda attanayssafe saloynne sa7ay aadhdhanayssi kawushshe 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.

18«Ba machcho anjji yeddidi hara macca ekkiza asi wurikka laymatees; ba azinappe anjjetta bidaaro ekkidayssika laymatees.Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

19«Qasseka Yesusi isttas, ‹Lo7o may7o may7idi gallas gallas lo7o duussa ufayssan diza issi dure asi dees› gides.Now there was a rich man dressed in purple and fine linen, who lived each day in joyous splendor.

20He addeza pengen kumeththa bollay madunth xalla gidida issi Alazaare geetettiza manqo adde dizayssi ichchi dees.And a beggar named Lazarus lay at his gate, covered with sores

21Izikka he dure addeza keeththan asay kath mishin maaddafe gaden wodhdhiza suuppa maxi maanaas amottees; kanatikka iza madunththaa laacceettes.and longing to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.

22«He manqo addezi hayqqiin Salo Kiitanchchati Abrahaame ki7o ekki bida; qasse dure addezikka hayqqidi moogettides.One day the beggar died and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s side. And the rich man also died and was buried.

23Izi Si7oolen waayettishe dhoqqu giidi haahon Abrahaame xeellides; Alazaarekka ba ki7on oykki dishin be7ides.In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham from afar, with Lazarus by his side.

24«Dure addezi, ‹Aawaa Abrahaamee! Hayssan waayettiza taas mishettarkkii! gi Alazaarey ba biradhdhe xeera irxxa haaththan bochchidi ta inxars irxxisana mala haa yeddarkkii!› gi waassides.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.’

25«Gido attiin Abrahaamey, ‹Ta naazoo neni biitta bolla dashe lo7o duus de7idayssa mala Alazaarey kase waaye be7idayssa ne qoppa; gido attiin ha7i izi ufayettishin neni waayettaasa.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 hanishin haan diza asi haappe hee intteko aadhdhontta mala qasseka inttekon dizay haa nuukko aadhdhana koyzaadey haa aadhdhontta mala inttessinne nuus giddon gita aafoy giigettides› 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.’

27«Dure addezi qasse, ‹Aabboo! Hessi hessa gidikko neni Alazaare duge ta aawa soo yeddana mala ta nena woossays; taas ichchashu ishati deettes; hayti haa waayeso yontta mala biidi isttas lo7eththi yootana mala Alazaare yeddarkkii!› gides.‘Then I beg you, father,’ he said, ‘send Lazarus to my father’s house,

29«Abrahaamey izas zaaridi, ‹Museynne nabeti heen istta achchan diza gishshas isttafe siyetto› gides.But Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let your brothers listen to them.’

30«Izikka zaaridi, ‹Aawaa Abrahaame, hessa mala gidenna; hayqqida asaappe issaadey hayqoppe dendi biikko istti Xoossa maaroteththan gelana› gides.‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone is sent to them from the dead, they will repent.’

31«Abrahaameykka zaaridi, ‹Museynne nabeti gizayssa siyontta ixxiko hayqqida asaappe issaadey dendidaakkoka istti ammanettenna› » 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.’”
