Luke 12 (GOFL) · Opened

1He wode daro mukulun taybetiya asay woli bolla yedhetana gakanaw asi asa bolla shiiqidi de7ishin, Yesuusi ba tamaaretako, “Farsaaweta irshofe naagetite. Hessika enta cubbotethaa.In the meantime, a crowd of many thousands had gathered, so that they were trampling one another. Jesus began to speak first to His disciples: “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

2Qonconna qosetidi, eretonna geemmidi attiyabay aykoyka baawa.There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, and nothing hidden that will not be made known.

3Hiza, hinte dhuman odetidabay ubbay poo7on si7etana, qol7a gaathan kalkashidabay dabaaban odetana.What you have spoken in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the housetops.

4“Ta baggato, ta odeysa si7ite; ashuwa wodhoosonape attishin, haraa aykoka oothanaw danda7onaysatas babofite.I tell you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more.

5Hanoshin, hinte babanaw besseysa ta hintew qoncisana. Hessika wodhidaape guye Gaannamen yegganaw wolqay de7eysas iyaw babite. Ee, tuma odayis; iyaw babite.But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear the One who, after you have been killed, has authority to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear Him!

6Ichashu buubeti issi santimes bayzetokonayee? Hanoshin, entafe issinnaka Xoossaa sinthan dogetuku.Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God.

7Hari attoshin, hinte huuphe binaanayka paydetidi de7ees. Hiza, babofite; daro buubetape hinte aadheta.And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

8“Ta odeysa si7ite; asa sinthan taw markatiya ubbaas Asa Na7i Xoossa kiitanchota sinthan markatana.I tell you, everyone who confesses Me before men, the Son of Man will also confess him before the angels of God.

9Asa sinthan tana kaddeysas Xoossa kiitanchota sinthan ta iya kaddana.But whoever denies Me before men will be denied before the angels of God.

10Asa Na7a bolla kadhe qaala haasaya ubbay maarota demmana, shin Geeshsha Ayyaana bolla kadhe qaala odeteysi maaretenna.And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.

11“Asi hintena oykidi ayhude woosa keethan, daynnata sinthaninne kawota sinthan gooshechiya wode ay odanekonne woygi zaaraneko hirgofite.When you are brought before synagogues, rulers, and authorities, do not worry about how to defend yourselves or what to say.

12He wode hinte odanaba Geeshsha Ayyaani hintena tamaarsana” yaagis.For at that time the Holy Spirit will teach you what you should say.”

13Asaa giddofe issi asi Yesuusako yidi, “Ta ishay taw nu aawa laatape shaakana mela iyaw oda” yaagis.Someone in the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”

14Yesuusi zaaridi, “La addiyaw, hinte bolla tana daynnanne laata shaakiya cima oothiday oonee?” yaagis.But Jesus replied, “Man, who appointed Me judge or executor between you?”

15Gujidika, Yesuusi, “Asa de7oy shalo darotethan gidonna gisho yaare aggidi minthidi hintena naagite” yaagis.And He said to them, “Watch out! Guard yourselves against every form of greed, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.”

16Kaallidika leemison, “Gadey daro kathi immiya issi dure uray de7ees.Then He told them a parable: “The ground of a certain rich man produced an abundance.

17He uray, ‘Ta katha taani shiishanaw bessi guuxida gisho ay ootho?’ yaagidi ba wozanan qopis.So he thought to himself, ‘What shall I do, since I have nowhere to store my crops?’

18Hizape yaatana; kase de7iya shaaleta laallada haraa dalga shaaleta keexana. Kathinne taw de7iyaba ubbaa iyan yeggana.Then he said, ‘This is what I will do: I will tear down my barns and will build bigger ones, and there I will store up all my grain and my goods.

19Ba shempeko, ‘Ta shempete, daro laythas new gidiya shalo shiishas. Hiza, shempada ma, uya, ufayta’ yaagana.Then I will say to myself, “You have plenty of good things laid up for many years. Take it easy. Eat, drink, and be merry!”’

20“Shin Xoossay, ‘La, eeya uraw, hachi qamma ne shempiya neepe eketawusu. Hiza, ne shiishidabay ooddes gidanee?’ yaagis.But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be required of you. Then who will own what you have accumulated?’

21“Hessa gisho, baw duretethi sa7an shiishiya asas, Xoossaa matan dure gidonna asaas wursethay ha ura mela” yaagis.This is how it will be for anyone who stores up treasure for himself but is not rich toward God.”

22Hessafe guye, Yesuusi ba tamaaretako, “Hiza, ta odiyaba si7ite, hinte shempuwas ay miino? Hinte asatethaas ay ma7ino? yaagidi un7etofite.Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat, or about your body, what you will wear.

23Shempoy kathafe, asatethi afilape aadhees.For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes.

24Kafota be7ite zerokona, kiishokona, eleynne shaaley entaw baawa. Shin Xoossay entana muzees. Hinte kafotape daro aadheta.Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storehouse or barn; yet God feeds them. How much more valuable you are than the birds!

25Hanoshin, hintefe un7etidi ba laytha bolla issi qamma gujanaw danda7ey oonee?Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?

26Hiza, ha guuthaba oothanaw danda7onna hinte, harabas ayis un7etetii?So if you cannot do such a small thing, why do you worry about the rest?

27Ane ciishshati waanidi dicciyako be7ite. Waayokonanne suqokona. Hari attoshin, Solomoney ba de7iya boncho ubban entafe issuwa melaka ma7ibeenna.Consider how the lilies grow: They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory was adorned like one of these.

28Hinteno, ammanoy pacidaysato, hiza, Xoossay hachi bentidi wonto taman yegetana ciishshata haysada mayziko, hintena waati aathidi mayzennee?If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, how much more will He clothe you, O you of little faith!

29Hessa gisho, ay mino woyko ay uyino gidi un7etofite.And do not be concerned about what you will eat or drink. Do not worry about it.

30He ubbaas Xoossaa ammanonna asati un7etoosona. Shin hinte aaway Xoossay hessi ubbay hintew koshsheysa erees.For the Gentiles of the world strive after all these things, and your Father knows that you need them.

31Ubbaafe aathidi Xoossa kawotetha koyite; hessi ubbay hintew guji imetana.But seek His kingdom, and these things will be added unto you.

32“Hinteno, guutha dereto, yayyofite; hinte aawa Xoossay kawotetha hintew immanaw ufaytees.Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the kingdom.

33Hintew de7iyaba bayzidi manqotas immite. Kaysoy ekonnason, bili moonnason, cimonna karxiitan, wuronna shalo salon shiishite.Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide yourselves with purses that will not wear out, an inexhaustible treasure in heaven, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys.

34Hinte wozanay hinte shaloy de7iya bessan gidana.For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

35“Qanthan dancidi giigetite; hinte xompey poo7o.Be dressed for service and keep your lamps burning.

36Banta goday yaaganope simmana gakanaw barkidi naageysatada, goday yidi xeegiya wode ellesidi dooyanaw giigida asata daanite.Then you will be like servants waiting for their master to return from the wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks, they can open the door for him at once.

37Banta goday simmiya wode dhiskonna de7ishe naageysati anjetidaysata. Tuma gayis; goday qanthan dancidi gayta yuushon utisidi mokees.Blessed are those servants whom the master finds on watch when he returns. Truly I tell you, he will dress himself to serve and will have them recline at the table, and he himself will come and wait on them.

38Goday laade gidin, giddi bilahe gidin, woyko wonti maathe gidin yidi, hessa mela dhiskona naagishin demmiya he aylleti anjetidaysata.Even if he comes in the second or third watch of the night and finds them alert, those servants will be blessed.

39Shin haysa erite; kaysoy awude yaaneko keetha aaway eriyako keethay boketiya wode si77i gidi be7enna.But understand this: If the homeowner had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into.

40Hinteka giigidi naagite; Asa Na7i hinte qoponna wode yaana” yaagis.You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect.”

41Phexroosika, “Godaw ha leemisuwa nu xalaalas odaye woyko asa ubbaasee?” yaagis.“Lord,” said Peter, “are You addressing this parable to us, or to everyone else as well?”

42Goday zaaridi, “Hiza, kathaa muzanaw bessiya wodiyan immana mela goday ba aylleta bolla shuumida ammantheysinne wozanaama halaqay oonee?And the Lord answered, “Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom the master puts in charge of his servants to give them their portion at the proper time?

43Goday simmiya wode hessa mela oothishe bentiya aylley, I anjetidaysaBlessed is that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.

44Ta hintew tuma odayis; ba godaas de7iya shalo ubbaa bolla I, shuumetana.Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.

45Shin he aylley, ‘Ta goday elle yeenna’ yaagidi ba wozanan qopidi, macca aylletanne adde aylleta wadhiko, qassi baw koyda mela mishenne uyishe mathotiko,But suppose that servant says in his heart, ‘My master will be a long time in coming,’ and he begins to beat the menservants and maidservants, and to eat and drink and get drunk.

46he aylliya goday, I qoponna gallasaninne hirgonna wode yaana. Yidi iya qanxerethidi, iya qaada ammanonna asaara oothana.The master of that servant will come on a day he does not expect and at an hour he does not anticipate. Then he will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the unbelievers.

47“Godaa sheniyada giigonnaysinne iya goday ay dosiyako erishe oothonna aylley daro garaafetana.That servant who knows his master’s will but does not get ready or follow his instructions will be beaten with many blows.

48Shin ba godaa sheniya eronna attidi garaafetanaw besseysa oothiday guuthara garaafetana. Gaasoyka daro imetidaysafe daro koyetees, daro hadara ekidaysafeka daro immana gidi naagetees.But the one who unknowingly does things worthy of punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be required; and from him who has been entrusted with much, even more will be demanded.

49“Taani yiday biitta bolla tama oythanaasa. Ha77i tamay oykiyako tana waanidi ufaysandesha!I have come to ignite a fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!

50Hanoshin, ta ha77i xammaqetey xinqatey de7ees. I poletana gakanaw ta daro un7etayis.But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!

51Sa7a bolla sarotethi ehanaw yida hintew daanii? Gidenna, ta yiday shaakanaasa.Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I tell you, but division.

52Ha77ife doomidi woli giddon shaaketida ichashu keethaa asati issife de7oosona. Nam7ati heedzata bolla, heedzatika nam7ata bolla, dendidi shaaketoosona.From now on, five in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three.

53Aaway na7aa bolla, na7ayka aawa bolla, aayiya na7e bolla, na7iya aaye bolla, azinaa aayiya na7a mache bolla, na7a machiya azina aaye bolla, dendidi shaaketana.”They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”

54Qassika asaako, “Wuloha baggara saloy shaaratiya wode be7idi, ellesidi, ‘Iri yaana’ yaageeta, hessadaka hanees.Then Jesus said to the crowds, “As soon as you see a cloud rising in the west, you say, ‘A shower is coming,’ and that is what happens.

55Dugeha carkoy carkiya wode ‘Sa7i awana’ yaageeta, hessadaka hanees” yaagis.And when the south wind blows, you say, ‘It will be hot,’ and it is.

56Hinteno, cubboto, Salobanne sa7aba shaakidi ereetashin ha wodiya shaakidi eroy hintena waanidi xoonidee?You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and sky. Why don’t you know how to interpret the present time?

57“Yaatin, hinte huuphes ayis tuma pirdeketii?And why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right?

58Ne morkiyara wolla daynna sinthan eqanaw bashe oge bolla giiganaw koya. Ne giigonna ixiko gooshechidi daynna sinthe nena efana. Daynnay nena qachiya asas aathidi immana. I nena woynen yeggana.Make every effort to reconcile with your adversary while you are on your way to the magistrate. Otherwise, he may drag you off to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and the officer may throw you into prison.

59Si7ite, issi bakani attonna cigga ongana gakanaw ne yaape keyonnaysa era” yaagis.I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the very last penny.”
