Mark 12 (GOFL) · Opened

1Yesuusi entaw leemison yaagidi odis: “Issi uray woyne tokidi, iya yuushon dirsi diris. Qassi he woyne gum7iya olla bookis. Iya naaganaw adussa shako shakis. Hessafe guye, kothe oothiya asas immidi, hara biitta bis.Then Jesus began to speak to them in parables: “A man planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a wine vat, and built a watchtower. Then he rented it out to some tenants and went away on a journey.

2Woyne ayfiya maxiya wodey gakin, bana gakiya gishuwa ehana mela, issi ba aylliya kothe aawatako yeddis.At harvest time, he sent a servant to the tenants to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard.

3Kothe aawati iya aylliya oykidi wadhidi, mela kushe yeddidosona.But they seized the servant, beat him, and sent him away empty-handed.

4Nam7antho hara aylle entako kiittin, enti he aylliya huuphiya qoo7idi kawushidi yeddidosona.Then he sent them another servant, and they struck him over the head and treated him shamefully.

5Woyne atakiltiya goday qassika hara aylle kiittis. He aylliya wodhidosona, qassi hara darota hessada oothidosona, issota issota wadhidi, harata wodhidosona.He sent still another, and this one they killed. He sent many others; some they beat and others they killed.

6“Woyne atakiltiya godaas kiittanaw ubbaafe wursethan I daro dosiya ba na7aa xalaali attis. I, ‘Enti ta na7aa bonchona aggokona’ gidi, ba na7aa entako kiittis.Finally, having one beloved son, he sent him to them. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said.

7“Shin kothe aawati banta giddon, ‘Laattanaysi haysa; yedhite iya wodhoos; iya laatay nubaa gidana!’ yaagidosona.But the tenants said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’

8Na7aa oykidi wodhidi, iya aha woyne gadiya giddofe gaxa kessidi yeggidosona.So they seized the son, killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.

9“Hiza, woyne gadiya goday waatanee? Yidi he kothe aawata wodhi ongidi, woyniya kothe oothiya hara asas immana.What then will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and kill those tenants and give the vineyard to others.

10“ ‘Gimbeysati boridi ixida shuchay godaa xaphuwa minthiya, ubbaafe aadhiya shuchu gidis. Haysi Goday oothidaba; qassi nu ayfiyaska malaalsiyaba’ yaageysa Geeshsha Maxaafape nabbabibeketii?” yaagis.Have you never read this Scripture: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.

12Kahine halaqati, higge astamaaretinne cimati Yesuusi he leemisuwa banta bolla leemisidaysa erida gisho, iya oykanaw koydosona, shin asaas yayyidi, aggidi bidosona.At this, the leaders sought to arrest Jesus, for they knew that He had spoken this parable against them. But fearing the crowd, they left Him and went away.

13Qassi iya odaape bala demmidi, iya oykana mela, Farsaawetapenne Herodiisa baggatape guutha asata iyako kiittidosona.Later, they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to catch Jesus in His words.

14Enti iyako yidi, “Astamaariyaw, neeni tuma odeteysanne asape ase shaakonnaysa nuuni eroos. Neeni ase dummayaka; qassi Xoossaa ogiya tumatethan tamaarsaasa. Nuuni Roome biitta Kawa Qeesares giira giireysi wogeye woga gidennee? Giira giirane agganee?” yaagidosona.“Teacher,” they said, “we know that You are honest and seek favor from no one. Indeed, You are impartial and teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not? Should we pay them or not?”

15Shin Yesuusi enta cubbotethaa eridi, “Tana ayis paacetii? Ane issi santime tana bessite” yaagis.But Jesus saw through their hypocrisy and said, “Why are you testing Me? Bring Me a denarius to inspect.”

16Enti iyaw ehidosona, “Ha misileynne sunthay oodebayee?” yaagidi enta oychis. Enti, “Roome Kawa Qeesareysa” yaagidosona.So they brought it, and He asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?” “Caesar’s,” they answered.

17Yesuusi zaaridi, “Yaatiko, Qeesareba Qeesares, Xoossaba Xoossaas immite” yaagin enti iyabaa malaaletidosona.Then Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.” And they marveled at Him.

18Hayqida asi dendenna giya Saduqaawetape issi issi asati Yesuusako yidi, haysada yaagidi, iya oychidosona.Then the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus and questioned Him:

19“Astamaariyaw, Musey nuus higgiya xaafishe, ‘Macho ekida asi na7a yelonna hayqiko, he hayqidaysa ishay iya machiw ekidi, ba ishaas na7a yelanaw bessees’ yaagis.“Teacher, 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.

20Beni wode laapun ishati de7eysatape bayray macho ekidi, na7a yelonna hayqis.Now there were seven brothers. The first one married and died, leaving no children.

21Nam7anthoy iyo ekis, ika na7a yelonna hayqis. Heedzanthoyka hessada hanis.Then the second one married the widow, but he also died and left no children. And the third did likewise.

22Laapunatika hessatho iyo ekidi, na7a yelonna hayqidosona. Ubbaafe guye, qassi he maccasiya hayqasu.In this way, none of the seven left any children. And last of all, the woman died.

23Yaatin, laapunati iyo ekida gisho hayqida asay hayqope dendiya gallas, iya entafe awusas macho gidanee?” yaagidosona.In the resurrection, then, whose wife will she be? For all seven were married to her.”

24Yesuusi zaaridi, “Hinte baletey, Geeshsha Maxaafata woyko Xoossaa wolqaa eronna gishosa!Jesus said to them, “Aren’t you mistaken, because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God?

25Hayqida asay hayqope dendiya gallas, salon de7iya kiitanchota mela gidanaape attishin, ekokona; gelekona.When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage. Instead, they will be like the angels in heaven.

26Shin hayqidaysata denduwaba gidiko, Muse maxaafan xaafetida xuugetiya tushiyaba odiya bessan, Xoossay Museko, ‘Taani, Abrahaame Xoossa, Yisaaqa Xoossa, Yayqooba Xoossa’ gidaysa nabbabibeketii?But concerning the dead rising, have you not read about the burning bush in the Book of Moses, how God told him, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’?

27Hessa gisho, I, paxa de7eyisata Xoossaafe attishin, hayqidaysata Xoosse gidenna. Hinte daro balideta” yaagis.He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are badly mistaken!”

28Higge astamaaretape issoy enti palameysa shiiqidi si7is. Qassi Yesuusi entaw loythi zaaridaysa si7idi, “Kiita ubbaafe aadhiya kiitay awusee?” yaagidi Yesuusa oychis.Now one of the scribes had come up and heard their debate. Noticing how well Jesus had answered them, he asked Him, “Which commandment is the most important of all?”

29Yesuusi zaaridi, iya haysada yaagis: “Kiita ubbaafe aadhiya kiitaa si7ite; ‘Isra7eele asaw, Goday nu Xoossay issi Godaa.Jesus replied, “This is the most important: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One.

30Ne Godaa ne Xoossaa ne kumetha wozanape, ne kumetha shempuwafe, ne kumetha qofaape, ne kumetha wolqaafe dosa’ yaagees.Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’

31Qassi kiita ubbaafe aadhiya nam7antho kiitay haysa; ‘Ase ubbaa ne huuphiyada dosa’ yaageysa; haysatape aadhiya hara kiiti baawa” yaagis.The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these.”

32Higge astamaarey Yesuusako, “Astamaariyaw, tuma gadasa; neeni ‘Xoossay issi Xoossaa xalaala. Iyape attishin, hari baawa’ gidaysi tuma.“Right, Teacher,” the scribe replied. “You have stated correctly that God is One and there is no other but Him,

33Xoossaa kumetha wozanape, kumetha qofaapenne kumetha wolqaafe doseysinne qassi ase ubbaa ba huuphiyada doseysi, xuussa yarshofenne hara yarsho ubbaafe aadhees” yaagis.and to love Him with all your heart and with all your understanding and with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself. This is more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.”

34Yesuusi higge astamaariya zaaroy aadhida erancho asa zaaro gididaysa be7idi, “Neeni Xoossaa kawotethaafe haakabaaka” yaagis; hessafe guye, Yesuusa haraba oychanaw oonika minnibeenna.When Jesus saw that the man had answered wisely, He said, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” And no one dared to question Him any further.

35Yesuusi xoossa keethan tamaarsishe, haysada yaagis: “Higge astamaareti Kiristoosa woygidi Dawita na7a goonna?While Jesus was teaching in the temple courts, He asked, “How can the scribes say that the Christ is the Son of David?

36Dawiti Geeshsha Ayyaanan kumidi, “ ‘Goday, ta Godaa, “Taani ne morketa ne tohoy yedhiyaso oothana gakanaw, haysan taape ushacha baggara utta” gis’ yaagis.Speaking by the Holy Spirit, David himself declared: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand until I put Your enemies under Your feet.”’

37Dawiti ba huuphen Kiristoosa, ‘Godaa’ gidi xeegiko, yaatin, Kiristoosi waanidi, Dawita na7a gidi?” yaagis. Daro asay Yesuusi geysa ufaysan si7idosona.David himself calls Him ‘Lord.’ So how can He be David’s son?” And the large crowd listened to Him with delight.

38Yesuusi tamaarsishe, haysada yaagis: “Higge astamaaretape naagetite; enti adussa ma7o ma7idi yuuyeysanne giyanka asay enta bonchidi sarotheysa dosoosona.In His teaching Jesus also said, “Watch out for the scribes. They like to walk around in long robes, to receive greetings in the marketplaces,

39Enti ayhude woosa keethatan daro lo77iya oydiya dosoosona; qassi asi bantana mokiya bessan boncho bessi dosoosona.and to have the chief seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets.

40Enti am7eta keethaa bonqidi, bantaw lo77o daananaw woosa adussosona; enti ubbaafe aadhiya pirdaa ekana” yaagis.They defraud widows of their houses, and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will receive greater condemnation.”

41Yesuusi xoossa keethan muxaata yeggiya saaxiniya matan uttidi, asay ba miishiya he saaxiniyan yeggeysa be7is; daro dure asay daro miishiya he saaxiniyan yeggoosona.As Jesus was sitting opposite the treasury, He watched the crowd putting money into it. And many rich people put in large amounts.

42Issi manqo am7iya yada, nam7u bakanna he saaxiniyan yeggasu.Then one poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which amounted to a small fraction of a denarius.

43Yesuusi ba tamaareta xeegidi, “Taani hintew tuma odayis; muxaata saaxiniyan yeggida asa ubbaafe ha manqo am7iya darsada yeggasu.Jesus called His disciples to Him and said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more than all the others into the treasury.

44Ayis giiko, harati ubbay bantaw palahida miishiyape yeggidosona. Shin iya ba pacaape, baw de7iya aquwa kumethi immasu” yaagis.For they all contributed out of their surplus, but she out of her poverty has put in all she had to live on.”
