Matthew 9 (GOFL)

1Hessafe guye, Yesuusi wogoluwan gelidi, abba pinnidi ba katamaa bis.Jesus got into a boat, crossed over, and came to His own town.

2Hanida guutha asati issi gunda ura algara tookidi Yesuusako ehidosona. Yesuusi enta ammanuwa be7idi, gunda uraa, “Ta na7aw, yayyofa; ne nagaray atto geetetis” yaagis.Just then some men brought to Him a paralytic lying on a mat. When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Take courage, son; your sins are forgiven.”

3He saatiyan, Ayhude higge astamaaretape issoti issoti, “Haysi Xoossaa cashshe gidenne” yaagidi banta wozanan qopidosona.On seeing this, some of the scribes said to themselves, “This man is blaspheming!”

4Yesuusi enta qofaa eridi, “Iitabaa hinte wozanan ayis qopeetii?But Jesus knew what they were thinking and said, “Why do you harbor evil in your hearts?

5Hanoshin, ‘Ne nagaray atto geetetis’ geysafenne ‘Denda eqada ba’ geysafe awusi kawuyii?Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’?

6Shin sa7a bolla nagara atto gaanaw Asa Na7aas maati de7eysa ta hintena erisana” yaagidi, gunda addiyako, “Denda eqa, ne algaa tookada, ne soo ba” yaagis.But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins...” Then He said to the paralytic, “Get up, pick up your mat, and go home.”

7Gunda uray dendidi ba soo bis.And the man got up and went home.

8Derey hessa be7idi malaaletidosona. Hessa mela maata asas immida Xoossaa galatidosona.When the crowds saw this, they were filled with awe and glorified God, who had given such authority to men.

9Yesuusi yaape dendidi bishe Maatosa geysa qaraxa qanxisiya bessan uttidashin be7idi, “Tana kaalla” yaagis. Ika dendidi kaallis.As Jesus went on from there, He saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax booth. “Follow Me,” He told him, and Matthew got up and followed Him.

10Yesuusi Maatosa son gayta bolla uttidashin, qaraxa qanxisiya daro asatinne nagaranchoti yidi iyaranne iya tamaaretara issife maanaw uttidosona.Later, as Jesus was dining at Matthew’s house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with Him and His disciples.

11Issi issi Farsaaweti hessa be7idi, Yesuusa tamaareta, “Hinte astamaarey qaraxa qanxiseysataranne nagaranchotara ayis mii?” yaagidosona.When the Pharisees saw this, they asked His disciples, “Why does your Teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”

12Yesuusi hessa si7idi, “Dhale koshshey harganchotasafe attishin, paxatasa gidenna.On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.

13Shin hinte bidi, ‘Taani hinte yarshuwa gidonashin hinte harata maarana mela koyayis’ geetetidi xaafetidaysi ay guusseko erite. Ayis giiko, taani nagaranchota xeeganaw yasipe attishin, xillota xeeganaw yabiike” yaagis.But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

14He wode Yohaanisa tamaareti Yesuusako shiiqidi, “Nunne Farsaaweti xoomos, shin ne tamaareti ayis xoomokonaa?” yaagidi oychidosona.Then John’s disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Why is it that we and the Pharisees fast so often, but Your disciples do not fast?”

15Yesuusi zaaridi entako, “Machiw ekeysi entara de7ishin xeegetidi yida asay kayotanaw danda7onna? Mushuray enta matape eketana wodey yaana, enti he wode xoomana.Jesus replied, “How can the guests of the bridegroom mourn while He is with them? But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.

16“Ooratha ma7ope peedhidi gal7a ma7o bolla sikey oonika baawa. Hessatho oothiko oorathay gal7a peedhees. Peedhethayka guji dalgees.No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. For the patch will pull away from the garment, and a worse tear will result.

17Ooratha woyne gal7a ogoron qoliya oonika baawa. Hessatho oothiko ooratha woyney gal7a ogoruwa dhusees woyneyka gukees; ogoroyka nam7antho maaddonnaba gidees. Shin ooratha woyney ooratha ogoron qoletanaw bessees. Hessatho oosetiko nam7ayka iitonna naagetoosona” yaagis.Neither do men pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst, the wine will spill, and the wineskins will be ruined. Instead, they pour new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.”

18Yesuusi hessa odo bolla de7ishin, Ayhude halaqatape issoy iyako yidi, iya sinthan gulbatidi, “Ta na7iya ha77i hayqasu, shin iya paxana mela neeni yada ne kushiya I bolla wotharki” gidi woossis.While Jesus was saying these things, a synagogue leader came and knelt before Him. “My daughter has just died,” he said. “But come and place Your hand on her, and she will live.”

19Yesuusi dendidi iyara bis; iya tamaaretika kaallidosona.So Jesus got up and went with him, along with His disciples.

20I bishin tammanne nam7u laythi kumethi suuthi goggidi waaysiya issi maccasiya guyera shiiqada Yesuusa afilaa macaraa bochasu.Suddenly a woman who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years came up behind Him and touched the fringe of His cloak.

21Iya ba wozanan, “Ta iya afilaa macaraa xalaala bochiyako paxana” yaagada qopasu.She said to herself, “If only I touch His cloak, I will be healed.”

22Yesuusi guye simmi iyo xeellidi, “Ta naatte, yayyofa! Nena ne ammanoy pathis” yaagis. Maccasiya ellesada paxa aggasu.Jesus turned and saw her. “Take courage, daughter,” He said, “your faith has healed you.” And the woman was healed from that very hour.

23Yesuusi Ayhude halaqaa soo gakiya wode zaye punneysatanne yeekeyisata be7idi,When Jesus entered the house of the synagogue leader, He saw the flute players and the noisy crowd.

24“Ane kichite; guutha na7iya dhiskasupe attishin, hayqabuuku” yaagis. Shin asay iya bolla miicidosona.“Go away,” He told them. “The girl is not dead, but asleep.” And they laughed at Him.

25Asaa kare kessidaape guye soo gelidi, na7e kushiya oykis, na7iya denda eqasu.After the crowd had been put outside, Jesus went in and took the girl by the hand, and she got up.

26He worey he biitta ubbaa gakis.And the news about this spread throughout that region.

27Yesuusi yaape dendidi gede sinthe biya wode nam7u qooqeti banta qaala dhoqu oothidi, “Dawita na7aw, nuna maararki” yaagishe iya kaallidosona.As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!”

28Yesuusi soo gelida wode qooqeti iya kaallidi yidosona. Yesuusi entako, “Taani hessa oothanaw danda7eysa hinte ammanetii?” yaagis. Entika, “Ee, Godaw” yaagidi zaaridosona.After Jesus had entered the house, the blind men came to Him. “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” He asked. “Yes, Lord,” they answered.

29Hessafe guye, Yesuusi enta ayfiya bochidi entako, “Hintew, hinte ammanuwatho hano” yaagis.Then He touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith will it be done to you.”

30Enta ayfeyka dooyetis. Yesuusi entako, “Haysa oodeska odopite” yaagidi minthi odis.And their eyes were opened. Jesus warned them sternly, “See that no one finds out about this!”

31Shin asati bidi Yesuusaba he biitta ubban odidosona.But they went out and spread the news about Him throughout the land.

32Enti yaape keyiya wode asay tuna ayyaanay oykidi muumisida issi asi Yesuusako ehidosona.As they were leaving, a demon-possessed man who was mute was brought to Jesus.

33Tuna ayyaanay keydaape guye muume uray odetis. Dereyka malaaletidi, “Haysa mela oorathabay Isra7eele biittan hanibeenna” yaagidosona.And when the demon had been driven out, the man began to speak. The crowds were amazed and said, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel!”

34Shin Farsaaweti, “Tuna ayyaanata halaqan tuna ayyaanata kessees” yaagidosona.But the Pharisees said, “It is by the prince of demons that He drives out demons.”

35Yesuusi ayhude woosa keethatan tamaarsishe, salo kawotethaa Wongela sabbakishe, asaa harge ubbaafe pathishe katamataninne guta ubban yuuyis.Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness.

36Daro derey, heemmiya asi bayna dorsada entana be7iya asi dhayin un7etidi de7eyisata be7idi entaw qadhetis.When He saw the crowds, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.

37Ba tamaaretako, “Shiiqana kathay daro, shin kathaa shiishiya asay guutha.Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.

38Hessa gisho, Goday kathaa shiishiya oosanchota yeddana mela woossite” yaagis.Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest.”
