Luke 14 (GOFWFTW)

1Issi Sambbaata gallas Yesuusi issi Farisaaweta halaqaa soo kathi maanaw geliya wode asay caddi xeellosona.One Sabbath, Jesus went to eat in the home of a leading Pharisee, and those in attendance were watching Him closely.

2He bessan shawuhe harggen waayettiya issi asi iyaw sintha baggara zin77is.Right there before Him was a man with dropsy.

3Yesuusi Farisaawetakkonne higge asttamaaretakko, “Sambbaata gallas hargganchcho pasoy wogeyye woga gidennee?” yaagidi oychchis.So Jesus asked the experts in the law and the Pharisees, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?”

4Entti si7i gidosona. Yesuusi harggettiya uraa bochchi pathidi moyzis.But they remained silent. Then Jesus took hold of the man, healed him, and sent him on his way.

5“Qassika hinttefe issuwas na7i woykko boori Sambbaata gallas aafon wulliko ellesidi kessonnay oonee?”And He asked them, “Which of you whose son or ox falls into a pit on the Sabbath day will not immediately pull him out?”

6Entti issibaakka zaaranaw dandda7ibookkona.And they were unable to answer these questions.

7Yesuusi imatuwas xeegettidayssati bonchcho bessi doorishin be7idi, ha leemisuwa odis.When Jesus noticed how the guests chose the places of honor, He told them a parable:

8“Issi asi nena yaagano xeegikko bonchcho bessan uttofa. Neeppe aadhdhi bonchchettiya asi xeegettanaw dandda7ees.“When you are invited to a wedding banquet, do not sit in the place of honor, in case someone more distinguished than you has been invited.

9Hinttena nam77atakka xeegidayssi yidi, ‘Ne bessaa ha imathaas yedda’ yaagiya wode neeni yeellatashe ziqqa bessi wodhdhaasa.Then the host who invited both of you will come and tell you, ‘Give this man your seat.’ And in humiliation, you will have to take the last place.

10Gidoshin, ne xeegettida wode koyrottada ziqqa bessi be7ada utta. Xeegoyssi yidi, ‘Ta laggiyaw, ha bonchcho bessan utta’ yaagana. He wode neera issife xeegettida asa ubbaa sinthan ne bonchchettana.But when you are invited, go and sit in the last place, so that your host will come and tell you, ‘Friend, move up to a better place.’ Then you will be honored in front of everyone at the table with you.

11Bana dhoqqu dhoqqu oothiya ubbay kawuyana; bana ziqqi ziqqi oothiya ubbay dhoqqu dhoqqu gaana.”For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”

12Qassi Yesuusi iya mokkida keethaa aawakko, “Quma woykko kaho imato xeegiya wode, neeni kushe zaaro xeegonna mela ne laggeta woykko ne ishata woykko ne dabbota woykko ne dure shoorota imato xeegoppa.Then Jesus said to the man who had invited Him, “When you host a dinner or a banquet, do not invite your friends or brothers or relatives or rich neighbors. Otherwise, they may invite you in return, and you will be repaid.

13Gidoshin, ne imato giigisida wode manqota, wobbeta, gunddatanne qooqeta xeega; neeni anjjettana.But when you host a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind,

14Hayssati kushe zaaranaw dandda7onna gisho kushe zaaroy geeshshata denddo gallasan new simmana” yaagis.and you will be blessed. Since they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”

15Yesuusara wolla imato bolla uttoyssata giddofe issoy hessa si7idi, “Xoossaa kawotethan imato bolla utteyssi anjjettidayssa” yaagis.When one of those reclining with Him heard this, he said to Jesus, “Blessed is everyone who will eat at the feast in the kingdom of God.”

16Yesuusi, “Issi asi gita imato giigisidi daro asata xeegis.But Jesus replied, “A certain man prepared a great banquet and invited many guests.

17Imatoy mokettiya saatey gakkiya wode xeegettida imathata, ‘Hekko ubbabay giigis, haa yiite’ yaagidi xeeganaada ba aylliya kiittis.When it was time for the banquet, he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, ‘Come, for everything is now ready.’

18“Shin ubbayka bantta gaaso gaaso medhdhidosona. Issoy, ‘Ha77i buroo gade shammida gisho, bada be7anaw koshshees hayyana tana aggarkii yaaga’ yaagis.But one after another they all began to make excuses. The first one said, ‘I have bought a field, and I need to go see it. Please excuse me.’

19Hankkoy, ‘Ichchashu waatha boori shammas enttana waaxa be7ana gisho hayyana tana lanccofa’ yaagis.Another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to try them out. Please excuse me.’

20Qassi haray, ‘Taani buroo meddan de7iya gisho, yaanaw dandda7ikke’ yaagis.Still another said, ‘I have married a wife, so I cannot come.’

21“Aylley simmi yidi he ubbaa ba godaas odis. He wode yaagano aaway hanqettidi aylliyako, ‘Ellesada kataman de7iya wogga ogetanne daggalata bada, manqota, wobbeta, qooqetanne gunddata haa eha’ yaagis.The servant returned and reported all this to his master. Then the owner of the house became angry and said to his servant, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the city, and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind, and the lame.’

22“Aylley, ‘Ta godaw, ne kiittidayssi ubbay polettis, shin ha77ika bessi de7ees’ yaagis.‘Sir,’ the servant replied, ‘what you ordered has been done, and there is still room.’

23“Goday aylliyako, ‘Horogata bollanne, gade giddo ogeta keya, ta keethay kumana gakkanaw demmida ubbaa yaana mela ootha.So the master told his servant, ‘Go out to the highways and hedges and compel them to come in, so that my house will be full.

24Ta hinttew odays; imatotidayssatappe oonikka ta gibiraappe moonnayssa erite’ gis” yaagis.For I tell you, not one of those men who were invited will taste my banquet.’”

25Daro asay iyara wolla bishin Yesuusi enttako guye simmidi,Now large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and He turned and said to them,

26“Taakko yaa ubbay ba aawanne, ba aayiw, ba machchiwunne ba nayta, ba ishatanne ba michcheta, hari attoshin ba de7uwa ixxonnay ta tamaare gidanaw dandda7enna.“If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters—yes, even his own life—he cannot be My disciple.

27Ba masqaliya tookkidi tana kaallonnay ta tamaare gidanaw dandda7enna.And whoever does not carry his cross and follow Me cannot be My disciple.

28“Hinttefe issi asi shuchcha keethi keexanaw koykko, keethaa keexidi ongganaw ay mela miishe koshshiyako koyrottidi eranaw qoppi be7onnay oonee?Which of you, wishing to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost to see if he has the resources to complete it?

29Hessa gidonna ixxiko, ha uray baaso shuchchu hiixin qusttethi xoonikko,Otherwise, if he lays the foundation and is unable to finish the work, everyone who sees it will ridicule him,

30be7iya ubbay, ‘Ha uray gimbbethi oykkin qusttanaw iya xoonis’ yaagidi boroosona.saying, ‘This man could not finish what he started to build.’

31“Woykko issi kawoy hara kawora olettanaw denddishe laatamu mukulu olanchchota ekki yaa kawuwara tammu mukulu olanchchotara eqettanaw dandda7anayssanne dandda7onayssa uttidi zorettonnay oonee?Or what king on his way to war with another king will not first sit down and consider whether he can engage with ten thousand men the one coming against him with twenty thousand?

32Eqettanaw dandda7ettonaba gidikko, he hara kawuwara haahon de7ishin giiganaw koyrottidi cima yeddidi oychchees.And if he is unable, he will send a delegation while the other king is still far off, to ask for terms of peace.

33Hessadakka, hinttefe oonikka baw de7iyaba ubbaa aggonna ixxiko ta tamaare gidanaw dandda7enna.In the same way, any one of you who does not give up everything he has cannot be My disciple.

34“Maxiney lo77o, shin maxiney ba mal7uwa aggiko, waanidi maxine geetettanaw dandda7ii?Salt is good, but if the salt loses its savor, with what will it be seasoned?

35Biittatethaaskka araddatethaaskka maaddonabaa gidiya gisho wora yegettees. Hiza, si7iya haythi de7iya asi si7o” yaagis.It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile, and it is thrown out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
