Luke 14 (GOFL) · Opened

1Issi Sambaata gallas Yesuusi issi Farsaaweta halaqa soo kathi maanaw geliya wode asay caddi xeelloosona.One Sabbath, Jesus went to eat in the home of a leading Pharisee, and those in attendance were watching Him closely.

2He bessan shawuhe hargen waayetiya issi asi iyaw sintha baggara zin7is.Right there before Him was a man with dropsy.

3Yesuusi Farsaawetanne higge astamaareta, “Sambaata gallas hargancho pasoy wogeye woga gidennee?” yaagidi oychis.So Jesus asked the experts in the law and the Pharisees, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?”

4Enti si77i gidoosona. Yesuusi hargetiya uraa bochi pathidi moyzis.But they remained silent. Then Jesus took hold of the man, healed him, and sent him on his way.

5“Qassika hintefe issuwas na7i woyko boori Sambaata gallas aafon wulliko, ellesidi kessonnay oonee?” yaagidi oychis.And He asked them, “Which of you whose son or ox falls into a pit on the Sabbath day will not immediately pull him out?”

6Enti issibaaka zaaranaw danda7ibookona.And they were unable to answer these questions.

7Yesuusi imatuwas xeegetidaysati boncho bessi doorishin be7idi, ha leemisuwa odis:When Jesus noticed how the guests chose the places of honor, He told them a parable:

8“Issi asi nena yaagano xeegiko boncho bessan uttofa. Neepe aadhidi bonchetiya asi xeegetanaw danda7ees.“When you are invited to a wedding banquet, do not sit in the place of honor, in case someone more distinguished than you has been invited.

9Hintena nam7ataka xeegidaysi yidi, ‘Ne bessa ha imathas yedda’ giya wode neeni yeellatashe ziqa bessi wodhaasa.Then the host who invited both of you will come and tell you, ‘Give this man your seat.’ And in humiliation, you will have to take the last place.

10Gidoshin, ne xeegetida wode koyrottada ziqa bessi be7ada utta. Xeegoysi yidi, ‘Ta laggiyaw, ha boncho bessan utta’ yaagana. He wode neera issife xeegetida asa ubbaa sinthan ne bonchetana.But when you are invited, go and sit in the last place, so that your host will come and tell you, ‘Friend, move up to a better place.’ Then you will be honored in front of everyone at the table with you.

11Bana dhoqu dhoqu oothiya ubbay kawuyana; bana ziqi ziqi oothiya ubbay dhoqu dhoqu gaana.”For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”

12Qassi Yesuusi iya mokida keetha aawako, “Quma woyko kaho imato xeegiya wode, neeni kushe zaaro xeegonna mela ne laggeta woyko ne ishata woyko ne dabbota woyko ne dure shoorota imato xeegopa.Then Jesus said to the man who had invited Him, “When you host a dinner or a banquet, do not invite your friends or brothers or relatives or rich neighbors. Otherwise, they may invite you in return, and you will be repaid.

13Gidoshin, ne imato giigisida wode manqota, wobbeta, gundatanne qooqeta xeega; neeni anjetana.But when you host a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind,

14Haysati kushe zaaranaw danda7onna gisho kushe zaaroy geeshshata dendo gallasan new simmana” yaagis.and you will be blessed. Since they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”

15Yesuusara wolla imato bolla uttoyisata giddofe issoy, hessa si7idi, “Xoossa kawotethan imato bolla utteysi anjetidaysa” yaagis.When one of those reclining with Him heard this, he said to Jesus, “Blessed is everyone who will eat at the feast in the kingdom of God.”

16Yesuusi, “Issi asi gita imato giigisidi daro asata xeegis.But Jesus replied, “A certain man prepared a great banquet and invited many guests.

17Imatoy moketiya saatey gakiya wode, xeegetida imathata, ‘Heko ubbabay giigis, haa yiite’ yaagidi xeeganaada ba aylliya kiittis.When it was time for the banquet, he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, ‘Come, for everything is now ready.’

18“Shin ubbayka banta gaaso gaaso medhidosona. Issoy, ‘Ha77i buroo gade shammida gisho, bada be7anaw koshshees; hayyana tana aggarki yaaga’ yaagis.But one after another they all began to make excuses. The first one said, ‘I have bought a field, and I need to go see it. Please excuse me.’

19Hankoy, ‘Ichashu waatha boori shammas; entana waaxa be7ana gisho hayyana tana lancofa’ yaagis.Another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to try them out. Please excuse me.’

20Qassi haray, ‘Taani buroo meddan de7iya gisho, yaanaw danda7ike’ yaagis.Still another said, ‘I have married a wife, so I cannot come.’

21“Aylley simmi yidi he ubbaa ba godaas odis. He wode yaagano aaway hanqetidi aylliyako, ‘Ellesada kataman de7iya wogga ogetanne daggalata bada, manqota, wobbeta, qooqetanne gundata haa eha’ yaagis.The servant returned and reported all this to his master. Then the owner of the house became angry and said to his servant, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the city, and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind, and the lame.’

22“Aylley, ‘Ta godaw, ne kiittidaysi ubbay poletis, shin ha77ika bessi de7ees’ yaagis.‘Sir,’ the servant replied, ‘what you ordered has been done, and there is still room.’

23“Goday aylliyako, ‘Horogata bollanne, gade giddo ogeta keya, ta keethay kumana gakanaw demmida ubba yaana mela ootha.So the master told his servant, ‘Go out to the highways and hedges and compel them to come in, so that my house will be full.

24Ta hintew odayis; imato xeegetidaysatape oonika ta gibiraape moonnaysa erite’ gis” yaagis.For I tell you, not one of those men who were invited will taste my banquet.’”

25Daro asay iyara wolla bishin, Yesuusi entako guye simmidi,Now large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and He turned and said to them,

26“Taako yaa ubbay ba aawanne ba aayiw, ba machiwnne ba nayta, ba ishatanne ba micheta, hari attoshin ba de7uwa ixonnay ta tamaare gidanaw danda7enna.“If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters—yes, even his own life—he cannot be My disciple.

27Ba masqaliya tookidi tana kaallonnay ta tamaare gidanaw danda7enna.And whoever does not carry his cross and follow Me cannot be My disciple.

28“Hintefe issi asi shucha keethi keexanaw koyko, keetha keexidi onganaw ay mela miishe koshshiyako koyrottidi eranaw qopi be7onnay oonee?Which of you, wishing to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost to see if he has the resources to complete it?

29Hessa gidonna ixiko, ha uray baaso shuchu hiixin qustethi xooniko,Otherwise, if he lays the foundation and is unable to finish the work, everyone who sees it will ridicule him,

30be7iya ubbay, ‘Ha uray gimbethi oykin qustanaw iya xoonis’ yaagidi boroosona.saying, ‘This man could not finish what he started to build.’

31“Woyko issi kawoy hara kawora oletanaw dendishe laatamu mukulu olanchota eki yaa kawuwara tammu mukulu olanchotara eqetanaw danda7anaysanne danda7onaysa uttidi zorettonay oonee?Or what king on his way to war with another king will not first sit down and consider whether he can engage with ten thousand men the one coming against him with twenty thousand?

32Eqetanaw danda7etonaba gidiko, he kawuwara haahon de7ishin giiganaw koyrottidi cima yeddidi oychees.And if he is unable, he will send a delegation while the other king is still far off, to ask for terms of peace.

33Hessadaka, hintefe oonika baw de7iyaba ubba aggonna ixiko, ta tamaare gidanaw danda7enna.In the same way, any one of you who does not give up everything he has cannot be My disciple.

34“Maxiney lo77o, shin maxiney ba mal7uwa aggiko, waanidi maxine geetetanaw danda7ii?Salt is good, but if the salt loses its savor, with what will it be seasoned?

35Biittatethasinne araddatethas maaddona gisho wora yegetees. Hiza, si7iya haythi de7iya asi si7o” yaagis.It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile, and it is thrown out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
