Luke 12 (GOFWFTW)

1He wode daro mukulun taybettiya asay woli bolla yedhdhettana gakkanaw asi asa bolla shiiqidi de7ishin, Yesuusi ba tamaaretakko, “Farisaaweta irshshuwaafe naagettite. Hessika entta cubbotethaa.In the meantime, a crowd of many thousands had gathered, so that they were trampling one another. Jesus began to speak first to His disciples: “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

2Qoncconna qosettidi, erettonna geemmidi attiyaabay aykkoyka baawa.There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, and nothing hidden that will not be made known.

3Hiza, hintte dhuman odidabay ubbay poo7on si7ettana, qol77a gaathan kalkkashidabay dabaaban odettana.What you have spoken in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the housetops.

4“Ta baggatoo ta odeyssa si7ite; ashuwa wodhoosonappe attin haraa aykkoka oothanaw dandda7onnayssatas babbofite.I tell you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more.

5Hanoshin, hintte babbanaw besseyssa ta hinttew qonccisana. Hessika wodhidaappe guye Gaannamen yegganaw wolqqay de7eyssas iyaw babbite. Ee, tuma gays; iyaw babbite.But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear the One who, after you have been killed, has authority to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear Him!

6Ichchashu buubbeti issi santimes bayzettokonaayye? Hanoppe attin enttafe issinnaka Xoossaa sinthan dogetuku.Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God.

7Hari attoshin, hintte huu7e binaanaykka paydettidi de7ees. Hiza, babbofite daro buubbetappe hintte aadhdheeta.And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

8“Ta odeyssa si7ite; asa sinthan taw markkattiya ubbaas Asa Na7ay Xoossaa kiitanchchota sinthan markkattana.I tell you, everyone who confesses Me before men, the Son of Man will also confess him before the angels of God.

9Asa sinthan tana kaddeyssas Xoossaa kiitanchchota sinthan ta iya kaddana.But whoever denies Me before men will be denied before the angels of God.

10Asa Na7a bolla kadhe qaala haasayiya ubbay maarota demmana, shin Geeshsha Ayyaana bolla kadhe qaala odetteyssi maaretenna.And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.

11“Asi hinttena oykkidi Ayhude Woosa Keethan, daynnata sinthaninne kawota sinthan gooshechchiya wode ay odaneekkonne woygi zaaraneekko hirggofite.When you are brought before synagogues, rulers, and authorities, do not worry about how to defend yourselves or what to say.

12He wode hintte odanabaa Geeshsha Ayyaanay hinttena tamaarssana” yaagis.For at that time the Holy Spirit will teach you what you should say.”

13Asaa giddofe issi asi Yesuusakko yidi, “Ta ishay taw nu aawa laatappe shaakkana mela iyaw oda” yaagis.Someone in the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”

14Yesuusi zaaridi, “La addiyaw, hintte bolla tana daynnanne laata shaakkiya cima oothiday oonee?” yaagis.But Jesus replied, “Man, who appointed Me judge or executor between you?”

15Qassika Yesuusi, “Asa de7oy shalo darotethan gidonna gisho yaare aggidi minthidi hinttena naagite” yaagis.And He said to them, “Watch out! Guard yourselves against every form of greed, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.”

16Kaallidikka leemison, “Gadey daro kathi immiya issi dure uray de7ees.Then He told them a parable: “The ground of a certain rich man produced an abundance.

17He uray, ‘Ta kathaa taani shiishanaw bessi guuxida gisho ay ootho?’ yaagidi ba wozanan qoppis.So he thought to himself, ‘What shall I do, since I have nowhere to store my crops?’

18Hizappe yaatana; kase de7iya shaaleta laallada haraa dalgga shaaleta keexana. Kathaanne taw de7iyaba ubbaa iyan yeggana.Then he said, ‘This is what I will do: I will tear down my barns and will build bigger ones, and there I will store up all my grain and my goods.

19Ba shemppeeko, ‘Ta shemppete, daro laythas new gidiya shalo shiishas. Hiza, shemppada ma, uya, ufaytta’ yaagana.Then I will say to myself, “You have plenty of good things laid up for many years. Take it easy. Eat, drink, and be merry!”’

20“Shin Xoossay, ‘La, eeya addiyaw, hachchi qamma ne shemppiya neeppe ekettawusu. Hiza, ne shiishidabay oodees gidanee?’ yaagis.But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be required of you. Then who will own what you have accumulated?’

21“Hessa gisho, baw duretethi sa7an shiishiya asi, Xoossaa matan dure gidonna asaas wurssethay ha urayssa mela” yaagis.This is how it will be for anyone who stores up treasure for himself but is not rich toward God.”

22Hessafe guye, Yesuusi ba tamaaretakko, “Hiza, ta odiyabaa si7ite, hintte shemppuwas ay mino hintte bollaas ay ma77ino yaagidi un77ettofite.Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat, or about your body, what you will wear.

23Shemppoy kathafe bolli afilappe aadhdhees.For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes.

24Kafota be7ite zerokkona, kiishokkona, eleykka shaaleykka baawa. Shin Xoossay enttana muzees. Hintte kafotappe daro aadhdheeta.Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storehouse or barn; yet God feeds them. How much more valuable you are than the birds!

25Hanoshin, hinttefe un77ettidi ba laythaa bolla issi qamma gujjanaw dandda7ey oonee?Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?

26Hiza, ha guuthabaa oothanaw dandda7onna hintte harabaas ays un77etteetii?So if you cannot do such a small thing, why do you worry about the rest?

27Ane cishshati waanidi dicciyakko be7ite. Waayokkonanne suqqokona. Hari attoshin, Solomoney ba de7iya bonchcho ubban enttafe issuwa melakka ma77ibeena.Consider how the lilies grow: They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory was adorned like one of these.

28Hinttenoo, ammanoy paccidayssato, hiza, Xoossay hachchi benttidi wontto taman yegettana cishshata hayssada mayzikko, hinttena waati aathi mayzennee?If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, how much more will He clothe you, O you of little faith!

29Hessa gisho, ay mino woykko ay uyino gidi un77ettofite.And do not be concerned about what you will eat or drink. Do not worry about it.

30He ubbaas Xoossaa ammanonna asati un77ettoosona. Shin hintte aaway Xoossay hessi ubbay hinttew koshsheyssa erees.For the Gentiles of the world strive after all these things, and your Father knows that you need them.

31Ubbaafe aathidi Xoossaa kawotethaa koyite hessi ubbay hinttew gujji imettana.But seek His kingdom, and these things will be added unto you.

32“Hinttenoo, guutha deretoo, yayyofite; hintte aawa Xoossay kawotethaa hinttew immanaw ufayttees.Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the kingdom.

33Hinttew de7iyabaa bayzidi manqotas immite. Kaysoy ekkonnason, bili moonnason, cimonna karxiitan, wuronna shaluwa saluwan shiishite.Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide yourselves with purses that will not wear out, an inexhaustible treasure in heaven, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys.

34Hintte wozanay hintte shaloy de7iyasuwan gidana.For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

35“Qanthan danccidi giigettite; hintte xomppey poo7idayssa gido.Be dressed for service and keep your lamps burning.

36Bantta goday yaaganoppe simmana gakkanaw barkkidi naageyssatada, goday yidi xeegiya wode ellesidi dooyanaw giigida asata daanite.Then you will be like servants waiting for their master to return from the wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks, they can open the door for him at once.

37Bantta goday simmiya wode dhiskkonna de7ishe naageyssati anjjettidayssata. Tuma gays; goday qanthan danccidi gayta yuushuwan utisidi mokkees.Blessed are those servants whom the master finds on watch when he returns. Truly I tell you, he will dress himself to serve and will have them recline at the table, and he himself will come and wait on them.

38Goday laade gidin giddi bilahe gidin woykko wonttimaathe gidin yidi, hessa mela dhiskkonna naagishin demmiya he aylleti anjjettidayssata.Even if he comes in the second or third watch of the night and finds them alert, those servants will be blessed.

39Shin hayssa erite kaysoy awude yaanekko keethaaway eriyakko keethay boketiya wode si7i gidi be7enna.But understand this: If the homeowner had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into.

40Hintteka giigidi naagite; Asa Na7ay hintte qopponna wode yaana” yaagis.You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect.”

41Phexiroosikka, “Godaw ha leemisuwa nu xalaalas odayye woykko asa ubbaasee?” yaagis.“Lord,” said Peter, “are You addressing this parable to us, or to everyone else as well?”

42Goday zaaridi, “Hiza, kathaa muzanaw bessiya wodiyan immana mela goday ba aylleta bolla shuumida ammantheysinne wozanaama halaqay oonee?And the Lord answered, “Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom the master puts in charge of his servants to give them their portion at the proper time?

43Goday simmiya wode hessa mela oothishe benttiya aylley I anjjettidayssaBlessed is that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.

44Ta hinttew tuma odays; ba godaas de7iya shalo ubbaa bolla I shuumettana.Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.

45Shin he aylley, ‘Ta goday elle yeenna’ yaagidi ba wozanan qoppidi, macca aylletanne adde aylleta wadhdhiko, qassi baw koyida mela mishenne uyishe mathottiko,But suppose that servant says in his heart, ‘My master will be a long time in coming,’ and he begins to beat the menservants and maidservants, and to eat and drink and get drunk.

46he aylliya goday I qopponna gallasaninne hirggonna wode yaana. Yidi iya qanxerethidi, iya qaada ammanonna asatara oothana.The master of that servant will come on a day he does not expect and at an hour he does not anticipate. Then he will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the unbelievers.

47“Godaa sheniyada giigonnayssinne iya goday ay dosiyakko erishe oothonna aylley daro garaafettana.That servant who knows his master’s will but does not get ready or follow his instructions will be beaten with many blows.

48Shin ba godaa sheniya eronna attidi garaafettanaw besseyssa oothiday guuthara garaafettana. Gaasoykka daro imettidayssafe daro koyettees, daro hadara ekkidayssafekka daro immana gidi naagettees.But the one who unknowingly does things worthy of punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be required; and from him who has been entrusted with much, even more will be demanded.

49“Taani yiday biitta bolla tama oythanaassa. Ha77i tamay oykkiyako tana waati ufayssanddeshsha!I have come to ignite a fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!

50Hanoshin, ta ha77i xammaqettiya xinqqatey de7ees. I polettana gakkanaw ta daro un77ettays.But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!

51Sa7a bolla sarotethi ehanaw yida hinttew daanii? Gidenna, ta yiday shaakkanaassa.Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I tell you, but division.

52Ha77ife doomidi woli giddon shaakettida ichchashu keethaa asati issife de7oosona. Nam77ati heedzata bolla, heedzatikka nam77ata bolla, denddidi shaakettoosona.From now on, five in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three.

53Aaway na7aa bolla, na7aykka aawa bolla, aayiya na7ee bolla, na7iya aaye bolla, azinaa aayiya na7aa machche bolla, na7aa machchiya azinaa aaye bolla, denddidi shaakettana.”They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”

54Qassika asaakko, “Wuloha baggara saloy shaaratiya wode be7idi, ellesidi, ‘Iri yaana’ yaageta, hessadakka hanees.Then Jesus said to the crowds, “As soon as you see a cloud rising in the west, you say, ‘A shower is coming,’ and that is what happens.

55Dugeha carkkoy carkkiya wode ‘Sa7ay awana’ yaageta, hessadakka hanees” yaagis.And when the south wind blows, you say, ‘It will be hot,’ and it is.

56Hinttenoo, cubboto, Salobaanne sa7abaa shaakki ereetashin ha wodiya shaakki eroy hinttena waanidi xoonidee?You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and sky. Why don’t you know how to interpret the present time?

57“Yaatin, hintte huu7es ays tuma pirddeketii?And why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right?

58Ne morkkiyara wolla daynna sinthan eqqanaw bashe oge bolla giiganaw koya. Ne giigonna ixxiko gooshechchidi daynna sinthi nena efana. Daynnay nena polisees aathi immana. I nena woynen yeggana.Make every effort to reconcile with your adversary while you are on your way to the magistrate. Otherwise, he may drag you off to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and the officer may throw you into prison.

59Si7ite, issi bakkani attonna cigga onggana gakkanaw ne yaappe keyonnayssa era” yaagis.I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the very last penny.”
