Luke 20 (GMVL) · Opened

1Issi gallas Yesusi asaa Xoossa Keeththan tamaarsishininne Mishiraachcho qaala sabbakishin qeese halaqati, xaafetinne dere Cimati shiiqettidi izakko yida.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«Hayssa ne ooththizay oona shenenee? Nees shene immiday oonee?» giidi iza oychchida.“Tell us,” they said, “by what authority are You doing these things, and who gave You this authority?”

3Izikka isttas, «Tanikka inttena issi oysho oychchays; ane taas zaarite.“I will also ask you a question,” Jesus replied. “Tell Me:

4Yohannisa xinqatay saloppeyee? Asappee?» gides.John’s baptism—was it from heaven, or from men?”

5Isttika ba giddon issoy issaara, «Nu, ‹Yohannisa xinqatay saloppe› giikko izi nuna, ‹Histtiin aazas ammanibeekketii?› gaana.They deliberated among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will ask, ‘Why did you not believe him?’

6‹Asappe› giikko asay wuri Yohannisi nabe gididayssa ammaniza gishshas nuna shuchchara caddana» gi zorettida.But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are convinced that John was a prophet.”

7Hessa gishshas, «Izi awappeko nu erokko» giidi zaarida.So they answered that they did not know where it was from.

8Yesusikka histtiko, «Tanikka aaza wolqqan ooththizaakko inttes yootikke» gides.And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”

9Qasseka Yesusi asaas leemisora, «Issaadey woyne mith tokkides; gade goyizaytas kira immidi hara dere biidi heen gam7ides.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.

10Kaxxiza bone wode kaththaafe ekki yaana mala ba ashkaratappe issaade gadeza goyida asataakko yeddiin gadaa goyizayti kiitetti bidayssa qoxxidi mela kushe yeddida.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.

11Kaaleththidikka hara ashkara yeddiin goshshanchchati ha7ikka oykki qoxxidinne kawushshidi mela yeddida.So he sent another servant, but they beat him and treated him shamefully, sending him away empty-handed.

12Ha7ikka kaaleththidi heedzdzanththo ashkaraa yeddiin goshshanchchati izakka qoxereththi madunththidi kare kessi yeggida.Then he sent a third, but they wounded him and threw him out.

13«Woyne miththaa goday, ‹Ha7i ay ooththoo? Oonee erizay ta keeha siiqiza ta naaza yeddidaakko iza bonchchandettoshaa?› gides.‘What shall I do?’ asked the owner of the vineyard. ‘I will send my beloved son. Perhaps they will respect him.’

14«Gido attiin biitta goyizayti naaza be7ida mala ba giddon, ‹Hayssi iza laattana naaza gidennee? Haa yiite; iza wodhidi biittaa laattoos› giidi zorettida.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.’

15Woyne miththaa tokkidasoppe kare kessidi naaza wodhida. Histtiko ha7i woyne miththaa goday ha asata wosttanee?So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?

16Yiidinne he goshshanchchata dhayssana; woyne mith tokkizasohoza haratas immana» gides; dereykka hessa izi gidayssa siyidi, «Hayssa malay hanoppo» gides.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!”

17Yesusikka, «Isttako xeellidi, ‹Histtiin shuchchan keeththe keexxiza asati leqqi aggida shuchchay keeththas waanna hu7e gidana geetettidi xaafettida leemisozas birsheththay aazee?›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’?

18Ha shuchchaa bolla kundiday wuri shuchchaan qoxettana; shuchchayka iza bolla wodhdhidaadey wurikka liiqana» gides.Everyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed.”

19Xaafetinne qeeseta halaqati hessi leemisozi istta bolla haasayettidayssa eridi heerakka iza oykkanaas koyida shin derezas babbida.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.

20Yesusa wolqqara haarizaytas aaththi immanaas iza doonappe keziza bala qaala demmidi oykkanaas kaalli kaalli naagidanne xillo asa misatidi iza kaalli iza doonappe yo7o naagiza asata izakko yeddida.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.

21Iza doonappe yo7o koyza asati Yesusa, «Astamaaree! Neni tumaa haasayzayssanne tumaa tamaarsizayssa; qasseka Xoossa oge ne tumu tamaarsizayssanne oonakka shaakka maaddonttayssa nu eroos.“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.

22Gido attiin Qeesaares giira giiranaas bessizee? Bessennee?» giidi oychchida.Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”

23Izikka isttas diza gene qofaa eridi,But Jesus saw through their duplicity and said to them,

24«Ane issi dinaare tana bessite, hayssi iza bolla diza medhazinne xaafettoyssi oonayssee?» gides. Isttika, «Qeesaareyssa» gida.“Show Me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” “Caesar’s,” they answered.

25Izikka zaaridi isttas, «Qeesaareyssa Qeesaares, Xoossayssa Xoossas immite» gides.So Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”

26Hessa gishshas izi haasayda qaalappe ekkidi asaa sinththan iza qaxxanaas dandaybeettenna; izi immida qaalan malalettidi co7u gida.And they were unable to trap Him in His words before the people. And amazed at His answer, they fell silent.

27Hayqqidayta denththi baa giza Saduqaawetappe issi issi asati Yesusaakko yiidi oysha shiishshida.Then some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to question Him.

28«Godoo! ‹Issaadey machcho ekkidi naa yelontta hayqqiko he hayqqidayssa machcheyo iza ishay ekkidi ba ishaa laattana naa izas yelo› giidi Musey nuus xaafides.“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.

29Histtiin laappun ishati deettes shin isttafe bayrazi machchidi naa yelontta hayqqides.Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a wife but died childless.

30Iza kaalozikka izaththo hayqqides;Then the second

31heedzdzanththozikka izo ekkides; laappunati wurikka he maccassayo ekkidi wurikka naa yelontta hayqqida.and the third married the widow, and in the same way all seven died, leaving no children.

32Wurseththan maccassaya hayqqadus.And last of all, the woman died.

33Laappunatikka ha maccassayo ekkidashin ha maccassaya wurseththan hayqqidayti dendiza wode iza awayssa machcho gidanee?»So then, in the resurrection, whose wife will she be? For all seven were married to her.”

34Yesusi isttas, «Ha alame nayti geleettessinne ekkeettes.Jesus answered, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage.

35Buro yaana alamen hayqqidayta denththaa demmanaas bessizayti gidikko gelettenanne ekkettenna.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.

36Istti kiitanchchata mala gidana gishshas hessafe guye hayqqettennanne hayqoppe denththa nayta gidida gishshas istti Xoossa nayta.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.

37Musey qeeri wora gishshas xaafettida taarikezan Godaa, ‹Abrahaame Xoossaa, Yisaaqa Xoossaa Yaaqoobe Xoossaa› guussan hayqqidayti dendanayssa bessees.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.’

38Wurikka izas de7oy diza gishshas izi paxata Xoossafe attiin hayqeththata Xoos gidenna» gides.He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to Him all are alive.”

39Issi issi xaafeti, «Astamaaree! Lo7o gadasa» gida.Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, You have spoken well!”

40Hessafe guye ay asikka iza oychchanaas xalibeenna.And they did not dare to question Him any further.

41Hessafe guye Yesusi, «Asay Masihe waanidi izi Dawite naa gizee?Then Jesus declared, “How can it be said that the Christ is the Son of David?

42Gaasoykka Dawiti ba xaafida mazamure maxaafatan, ‹Ta ne morkketa ne toho gars aaththana gakkanaas Goday ta Godaa, ne ta ushachchan utta› waanidi gidee?For David himself says in the book of Psalms: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand

44Histtiko Dawiti iza, ‹Godaa› gi xeygishe waani izas naa gidanee?» gides.Thus David calls Him ‘Lord.’ So how can He be David’s son?”

45Derey wuri siyishin bana kaallizaytas,In the hearing of all the people, Jesus said to His disciples,

46«Gooshettiza adussa qamisa may7idi yuushshe dosizaytappe giyay dizason saroketeth koyzaytappenne Ayhuda Woosa Keeththan dhoqqa oydenne diggisason bonchchoso koyza xaafetappe naagettite.“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.

47Haytanti am7eta keeth kallosizayta; asi istta beyana mala woosa adusseettes; heytantta iita pirday naagees» gides.They defraud widows of their houses, and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will receive greater condemnation.”
