Luke 16 (GOFL) · Opened

1Yesuusi ba tamaaretako, “Issi dure uraas iyape garsara issi shuumi de7ees. He shuumay ba godaa shaluwa toochees giya worey keetha aawa gakis.Jesus also said to His disciples, “There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions.

2Keetha aaway shuuma xeegisidi, ‘Taani woygiyaba si7adina? Hizape neeni ta keethas shuuma gidada oothanaw danda7onna gisho, ta shaluwa taw sheedha’ yaagis.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“He shuumay ba wozanan haysada yaagidi qopis: ‘Ta goday tana shuumatethaafe wothana hanees, goya aqanaw wolqi baawa, woossa maanaw yeellayees; yaatin ta waano?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.

4Shuumatethaafe ta wodhiya wode asay tana mokana mela oothanaba ta erayis’ yaagis.I know what I will do so that after my removal from management, people will welcome me into their homes.’

5“Hessa gisho, iya godaa acoy de7iya asaa issuwa issuwa xeegi ehidi koyro uraako, ‘Ne bolla ta godaa acoy ay meli de7ii?’ yaagidi oychis.And he called in each one of his master’s debtors. ‘How much do you owe my master?’ he asked the first.

6“I, ‘Laatamu barmeele zayte acoy de7ees’ yaagis. “Shuumay, ‘Wule warqatiya he7e, ellesada, tammu barmeele zayte acoy de7ees gada xaafa’ yaagis.‘A hundred measures of olive oil,’ he answered. ‘Take your bill,’ said the manager, ‘sit down quickly, and write fifty.’

7“Hessafe kaallidi nam7anthuwako, ‘New aapuni de7ii?’ yaagis. “I, ‘Heedzu xeetanne laapun tammu kuntaale giste acoy de7ees’ yaagis. “Shuumay, ‘Ne wule warqatiya he7e, ellesada, 296 kuntaale yaagada xaafa’ yaagis.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.

8Keetha aaway ammanetibona shuuma iya cincatethaas nashshis. Ha alamiya nayti ase oythan poo7o naytape aadhida wozanaamata.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 gisho, ta hintew odayis; ha alamiya miishey wuriya wode merinaa keethan moketana mela ha miishiyara hintew laggeta shammite.I tell you, use worldly wealth to make friends for yourselves so that when it is gone, they will welcome you into eternal dwellings.

10Ubbaafe guuthaban ammanetiday daroban ammanetidaysa gidees. Qassi ubbaafe guuthaban ammanetonaysi daroban ammanetena.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.

11Hiza, ha alame miishen hinte ammanetona ixiko, tuma miishe hintew ooni hadara immanee?So if you have not been faithful with worldly wealth, who will entrust you with true riches?

12Hinte hara asa miishen ammanetona ixiko, hinte buzo miishe hintew ooni immanee?And if you have not been faithful with the belongings of another, who will give you belongings of your own?

13“Issi aylley nam7u godatas haaretanaw danda7enna. Issuwa ixiko hankuwa dosees woyko issuwako shiiqiko hankuwa kadhees. Hessadaka, hinte Xoossasinne miishes haaretanaw danda7eketa.”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.”

14Miishe dosiya Farsaaweti hessa si7ida wode Yesuusa qelqisidosona.The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all of this and were scoffing at Jesus.

15I, “Hinte, hintena asa sinthan xilliseeta, shin Xoossay hinte wozana erees. Asa sinthan bonchetidaysi Xoossa sinthan boretidaysa.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 higgeynne nabeta kiitay Yohaanisa gakanaw hintew odetishe gam7is. Hessafe guye, Xoossaa kawotethaa Wongelay sabbaketishe gam7is. Asi ubbay yaa gelanaw dafetees.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.

17Gidoshin, higgiyafe issi laafa pidaley attanaape saloynne sa7i aadheysi kawuyees.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 machiw yeddidi haraa ekiya ubbay laammees. Ba azinaape anjetidaaro ekeysika laammees” yaagis.Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

19“Al7onne alleeqo afila ma7iya, sa7i injetin gallas gallas ufaysan de7iya issi dure asi de7ees.Now there was a rich man dressed in purple and fine linen, who lived each day in joyous splendor.

20Hari qassi asatethay kumethi madunxida issi Alaazara geetetiya manqoy he dure uraa karen yegetidi attidaysi de7ees.And a beggar named Lazarus lay at his gate, covered with sores

21Koshape dendoysan dure ura gaytape wodhiya tiifiya maanaw amotishe de7ees. Hari attoshin, kanati yidi iya maduntha laacosona.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 manqoy hayqis; kiitanchoti iya Abrahaame ki7o efidosona. Qassi dure urayka hayqidi moogetis.One day the beggar died and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s side. And the rich man also died and was buried.

23Si7oolen un7etidi de7ishe dhoqu gidi haahon Abrahaamenne iya ki7on de7iya Alaazara be7is.In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham from afar, with Lazarus by his side.

24I, ‘Aawaw Abrahaame, taw qadhetarki; ha tama lacon un7etada de7iya gisho Alaazari ba biradhiya haathan yeddidi ta inxarsa laakothana mela hayyana iya yeddarki’ yaagidi waassis.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“Shin Abrahaamey iyako, ‘Ta na7aw, ne sa7an de7iya wode lo77obata ekidaysa, qassi Alaazari iitabata ekidaysa akeeka. Shin ha77i I haysan ufaytees, qassi neeni waayetashe de7aasa’ yaagis.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.

26Ha ubbaafe aadhidi, ‘Haape hinteko, hinipe haa nuuko aadhanaw koyeysati pinnonna mela nuusinne hintew giddon gita aafoy de7ees’ yaagis.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 uray, ‘Aawaw, yaako Alaazara ta aawa soo kiittana mela ta nena woossayis.‘Then I beg you, father,’ he said, ‘send Lazarus to my father’s house,

28Taw ichashu ishati de7idosona, entika ha waaye bessaa yoonna mela entaw bidi markato’ yaagis.for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also end up in this place of torment.’

29“Shin Abrahaamey, ‘Entaw Museranne nabetara de7oosona; enti odiyaba si7onna’ yaagis.But Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let your brothers listen to them.’

30“Dure uray, ‘Aawaw Abrahaame, hessatho gidenna; issi asi hayqope dendidi biiko enti maarotan gelana’ yaagis.‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone is sent to them from the dead, they will repent.’

31“Abrahaamey, ‘Musenne nabeta si7onna ixiko, hari attoshin hayqope issi asi dendi odikoka ammanokona’ yaagis.”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.’”
