Luke 7 (GOFL) · Opened

1Yesuusi hessa ubbaa asaa sinthan tamaarsidi ongidaape guye, Qifirnahooma katamaa bis.When Jesus had concluded His discourse in the hearing of the people, He went to Capernaum.

2He bessan issi mato halaqay de7ees. I daro dosiya aylley hargetidi hayqos gakis.There a highly valued servant of a centurion was sick and about to die.

3I Yesuusaba si7ida wode ba aylliya pathana mela iya woosso gidi issi issi Ayhude cimata Yesuusako kiittis.When the centurion heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to ask Him to come and heal his servant.

4Kiitetidaysati, Yesuusako bidi, “Ne iyaw haysa oothanaw bessees.They came to Jesus and pleaded with Him earnestly, “This man is worthy to have You grant this,

5Ayis giiko, ha uray nu asaa dosees, ayhude woosa keethaaka keexis” gidi minthi woossidosonafor he loves our nation and has built our synagogue.”

6Yesuusika entara bis. Mato halaqaa sooko matiya wode ba laggeta iyako kiittidi, “Godaw, ta kaarape garsan ne gelanaw ta bessonna gisho, daaburopa.So Jesus went with them. But when He was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends with the message: “Lord, do not trouble Yourself, for I am not worthy to have You come under my roof.

7Taka tana ne sinthe shiiqanaw bessiya asi gada qopike. Shin ne issi qaala oda; ta aylley paxana.That is why I did not consider myself worthy to come to You. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.

8Taw taape bollara halaqay de7ees, taape garsan ta kiittiya wotaadareti de7oosona. Issuwa, ‘Ba’ giiko bees, hankuwa, ‘Haaya’ giiko yees. Ta aylliyako, ‘Hanno ootha’ giiko oothees” yaagis.For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell one to go, and he goes, and another to come, and he comes. I tell my servant to do something, and he does it.”

9Yesuusi hessa si7ida wode malaaletis. Guye simmidi baara yaa asaako, “Taani hintew tuma odayis; hari attoshin Isra7eelenka haysa mela gita ammano demmabike” yaagis.When Jesus heard this, He marveled at the centurion. Turning to the crowd following Him, He said, “I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith.”

10Kiitetida asati soo simmiya wode aylley paxin demmidosona.And when the messengers returned to the house, they found the servant in good health.

11Guutha wodepe guye Yesuusi Nayne katamaa bis. Iya tamaaretaranne hara daro asati iyara bidosona.Soon afterward, Jesus went to a town called Nain. His disciples went with Him, accompanied by a large crowd.

12I katamaa gelana haniya wode aha tookida daro asati katamaape keyoosona. Hayqida na7ay ba aayes issuwa, iyaka am7o gidada de7awusu. Katama asaape daroti iira de7oosona.As He approached the town gate, He saw a dead man being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the town was with her.

13Goday iyo be7ida wode qadhetidi, “Yeekofa” yaagis.When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said, “Do not weep.”

14Shiiqidi hala bochin tookida asati eqidosona. Yesuusi, “La, yalagaw denda” yaagis.Then He went up and touched the coffin, and those carrying it stood still. “Young man,” He said, “I tell you, get up!”

15Hayqidaysi dendi uttidi oda oykis. Yesuusi na7aa ekidi aayes immis.And the dead man sat up and began to speak! Then Jesus gave him back to his mother.

16Asa ubbay yashetidi, “Gita nabey nu giddon dendis; Xoossay ba asaa be7is” yaagidi Xoossaa galatidosona.A sense of awe swept over all of them, and they glorified God. “A great prophet has appeared among us!” they said. “God has visited His people!”

17Iya sunthay Yihudaninne he heeran de7iya biitta ubban si7etis.And the news about Jesus spread throughout Judea and all the surrounding region.

18Xammaqiya Yohaanisa tamaareti hessa ubbaa Yohaanisas odidosona. I enta giddofe nam7ata xeegidi,Then John’s disciples informed him about all these things.

19“Yaana geetetiday neneyee? Woyko haraa naagino?” yaagidi oychite gidi Godaako kiittis.So John called two of his disciples and sent them to ask the Lord, “Are You the One who was to come, or should we look for someone else?”

20Asati “Yesuusako bidi, Xammaqiya Yohaanisi, ‘Yaana geetetiday neneyee? Woyko haraa naagino?’ giite gidi nuna neeko kiittis” yaagidosona.When the men came to Jesus, they said, “John the Baptist sent us to ask, ‘Are You the One who was to come, or should we look for someone else?’”

21He saatenka Yesuusi daro asaa hargiyafe pathis. Tuna ayyaanata kessis, qooqida ayfiyaka xeelisis.At that very hour Jesus healed many people of their diseases, afflictions, and evil spirits, and He gave sight to many who were blind.

22Yohaanisa matape kiitetidi yidaysatako, “Bidi hinte be7idaysanne si7idaysa Yohaanisas odite. Ayfe qooqeti xeelloosona, gundati birshetidi hemetoosona, baro harganchoti geeyosona, tulleti si7oosona, hayqidaysati hayqope dendoosona, manqotas Wongelay sabbaketees.So He replied, “Go back and report to John what you have seen and heard: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor.

23Tanan dhubetonna oonika anjetidaysa.”Blessed is the one who does not fall away on account of Me.”

24Yohaanisi kiittidaysati bidaape guye Yesuusi asaas Yohaanisaba yaagidi odis: “Hinte ay be7anaw mela biitta keydetii? Carkoy qaathiya maata be7anaseyee?After John’s messengers had left, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swaying in the wind?

25Yaatin, ay be7anaw keydetii? Koyse ma7o ma7ida asaa be7anaseyee? Koyse ma7o ma7idaysatinne sa7i injetida asay kawo gadhon de7oosona.Otherwise, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? Look, those who wear elegant clothing and live in luxury are found in palaces.

26Yaatin, ay be7anaw keydetii? Nabiya be7anaseyee? Ee, ta yaagayis: hinte be7anaw keyday nabepe aadheysa.What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.

27“ ‘Ne ogiya ne sinthan giigisiya ta kiitanchuwa neepe sinthe ta kiittana’ geetetidi xaafetiday iyassa.This is the one about whom it is written: ‘Behold, I will send My messenger ahead of You, who will prepare Your way before You.’

28Ta hintew odayis; maccasape yeletidaysata giddofe Yohaanisape aadhey baawa. Xoossaa kawotethan ubbaafe guuxeysi, I ubbaafe gita gidana” yaagis.I tell you, among those born of women there is no one greater than John, yet even the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.”

29Hari attoshin, Yesuusa qaala si7ida qaraxa qanxiseysati ubbay Yohaanisa kushen xammaqetidi Xoossay xillo gideysa qoncisidosona.All the people who heard this, even the tax collectors, acknowledged God’s justice. For they had received the baptism of John.

30Shin Farsaawetinne higge astamaareti Yohaanisa kushen xammaqetonna ixidi Xoossaa zoriya leqsidosona.But the Pharisees and experts in the law rejected God’s purpose for themselves, because they had not been baptized by John.

31Yesuusi kaallidi haysada yaagis: “Hiza, ha wodiya yeletethaa aybira daaniso? Entika oona daanonna?“To what, then, can I compare the men of this generation? What are they like?

32Giya giddon uttidi woli xeegidi, ‘Nu hintew suusul7e punnin, hinte yexeketa. Nu sabbidi zeleelin, hinte yeekeketa’ giya nayta daanosona.They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling out to one another: ‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not weep.’

33Xammaqiya Yohaanisi moonnanne uyonna yin, ‘Iita ayyaanara de7ees gideta.’For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon!’

34Asa Na7ay mishenne uyishe yin, ‘Yarambanne ushshancho, qaraxa qanxiseysatanne nagaranchota dabbo’ gideta.The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look at this glutton and drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’

35Hiza, cincatethaa tumatethay iya nayta ubbaa matan eretis” yaagis.But wisdom is vindicated by all her children.”

36Issi Farsaawey Yesuusa kathi muzanaw ba soo xeegis. I Farisaawiya soo bidi gayta bolla uttis.Then one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to eat with him, and He entered the Pharisee’s house and reclined at the table.

37He kataman issi nagarancho maccasi, Yesuusi Farisaawiya son gibira bolla de7eysa si7ida wode daro al7o philqaaxe shitto ekada yasu.When a sinful woman from that town learned that Jesus was dining there, she brought an alabaster jar of perfume.

38Yesuusape guye baggara, iya tohuwa matan eqada yeekashe iya tohuwa ba afuthaara laakothawusu. Ba binaanara iya tohuwa quchashenne yeerashe shitto tiyasu.As she stood behind Him at His feet weeping, she began to wet His feet with her tears and wipe them with her hair. Then she kissed His feet and anointed them with the perfume.

39Gibira giigisida Farsaawey hessa be7ida wode ba wozanan, “Haysi nabe gidiyako ha maccasiya, iya bochiyara ooneko qassi iya nagarancho gideysaka I eranashin” yaagis.When the Pharisee who had invited Jesus saw this, he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet, He would know who this is and what kind of woman is touching Him—for she is a sinner!”

40Yesuusi, “Simoona, ta new odiyabay de7ees” yaagis. I, “Astamaariyaw, taw oda” yaagis.But Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” “Tell me, Teacher,” he said.

41Yesuusi iyako, “Nam7u asati issi uraape miishe tal7idosona. Issoy ichashu xeetu bira hankoy qassi ishatamu bira tal7idosona.“Two men were debtors to a certain moneylender. One owed him five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.

42Nam7ayka tal7iya cigganaw xoonetin, nam7ataska tal7iya maaris. Hiza, ha nam7atape he uraa daro dosanay new oona daani” yaagis.When they were unable to repay him, he forgave both of them. Which one, then, will love him more?”

43Simooni, “Daro acoy maaretida uray daro dosana daanees” yaagis. Yesuusi, “Ne tuma pirdadasa” yaagis.“I suppose the one who was forgiven more,” Simon replied. “You have judged correctly,” Jesus said.

44Hessafe guye, Yesuusi maccaseeko simmi xeellidi, Simoonako, “Hanno maccasiw be7ay? Taani ne soo gelin hari attishin, ne taw toho haathe immabaaka, shin iya ta tohuwa ba afuthan laakothada ba binaanan quchasu.And turning toward the woman, He said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? When I entered your house, you did not give Me water for My feet, but she wet My feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.

45Neeni tana yeera ekabaaka, shin iya ta ne soo gelosape doomada ta tohuwa yeero aggabuku.You did not greet Me with a kiss, but she has not stopped kissing My feet since I arrived.

46Neeni ta huuphiyan zayte tiyabaka, shin iya ta tohuwa shitto tiyawusu.You did not anoint My head with oil, but she has anointed My feet with perfume.

47Iya tana daro dosida gisho, I daro nagaray atto geetetis. Guutha nagari atto geetetida uray guuthara dosees.”Therefore I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven, for she has loved much. But he who has been forgiven little loves little.”

48Yesuusi maccaseeko, “Ne nagaray atto geetetis” yaagis.Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”

49Iyara issife gaytan uttidi miya imathati, “Nagara atto yaagey, I haysi oonee?” yaagidi banta wozanan qopidosona.But those at the table began to say to themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”

50Yesuusi maccaseeko, “Ne ammanoy nena ashshis; saro ba” yaagis.And Jesus told the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”
