Luke 7 (GOFWFTW)

1Yesuusi hessa ubbaa asaa sinthan tamaarssidi onggidaappe guye, Qifirnahoome giya biittaa 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 harggettidi hayqos gakkis.There a highly valued servant of a centurion was sick and about to die.

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

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

5Ays giikko, ha uray nu asaa dosees, Ayhude Woosa Keethaka keexis” gidi minthi woossidosonafor he loves our nation and has built our synagogue.”

6Yesuusikka enttara bis. Mato halaqaa sookko matiya wode ba laggeta iyaakko kiittidi, “Godaw, ta kaarappe garssan ne gelanaw ta bessonna gisho, daaburoppa.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.

7Takka tana ne sinthe shiiqanaw bessiya asi gada qoppike. 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 taappe bollara halaqay de7ees, taappe garssan ta kiittiya wotaaddareti de7oosona. Issuwa, ‘Ba’ giikko bees, hankkuwa, ‘Haaya’ giikko yees. Ta aylliyakko, ‘Hanno ootha’ giikko 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 malaalettis. Guye simmidi baara yaa asaakko, “Taani hinttew tuma odays; hari attoshin Isra7eelenkka hayssa mela gita ammano demmabiikke” 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.”

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

11Guutha wodeppe 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 tookkida daro asati katamaappe keyosona. Hayqqida na7ay ba aayes issuwa, iyakka am77o gidada da7awusu. Katama asaappe 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 qadhettidi, “Yeekkofa” yaagis.When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said, “Do not weep.”

14Shiiqidi halaa bochchin tookkida asati eqqidosona. Yesuusi, “La, yalagaw dendda” yaagis.Then He went up and touched the coffin, and those carrying it stood still. “Young man,” He said, “I tell you, get up!”

15Hayqqidayssi denddi uttidi oda oykkis. Yesuusi na7aa ekkidi aayes immis.And the dead man sat up and began to speak! Then Jesus gave him back to his mother.

16Asa ubbay yashettidi, “Gita nabey nu giddon denddis; 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 si7ettis.And the news about Jesus spread throughout Judea and all the surrounding region.

18Xammaqiya Yohaannisa tamaareti hessa ubbaa Yohaannisas odidosona. I entta giddofe nam77ata xeegidi,Then John’s disciples informed him about all these things.

19“Yaana geetettiday neneyye? Woykko haraa naaginoo?” yaagidi oychchite gidi Godaakko 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 Yesuusakko bidi, Xammaqiya Yohaannisi, “Yaana geetettiday neneyye? Woykko haraa naaginoo?” giite gidi nuna neekko 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 saatenkka Yesuusi daro asaa harggiyafe pathis. Tuna ayyaanata kessis, qooqida ayfiyakka 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.

22Yohaannisa matappe kiitettidi yidayssatakko, “Bidi hintte be7idayssanne si7idayssa Yohaannisas odite. Ayfe qooqeti xeellosona, gunddati birshshettidi hamuttoosona, baro hargganchchoti geeyosona, tulleti si7oosona, hayqqidayssati hayqoppe denddoosona, manqotas Wonggelay sabbakettees.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 dhubettonna oonikka anjjettidayssa.”Blessed is the one who does not fall away on account of Me.”

24Yohaannisi kiittidayssati bidaappe guye Yesuusi asaas Yohaannisabaa yaagidi odis: “Biitta bazzo hintte ay be7anaw keyidetii? Carkkoy qaathiya maata be7anaaseye?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 keyidetii? Kitte ma7o ma77ida asaa be7anaaseyye? Kitte ma7o ma77idayssatinne sa7i injjetida asay kawo keethan 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 keyidetii? Nabiya be7anaaseye? Ee, ta yaagays: hintte be7anaw keyiday nabeppe aadhdheyssa.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 kiitanchchuwa neeppe sinthe ta kiittana’ geetettidi xaafettiday 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 hinttew odays; maccasappe yelettidayssata giddofe Yohaannisappe aadhdhey baawa. Xoossaa kawotethan ubbaafe guuxeyssi, 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 qanxiseyssati ubbay Yohaannisa kushen xammaqettidi Xoossay xillo gideyssa qonccisidosona.All the people who heard this, even the tax collectors, acknowledged God’s justice. For they had received the baptism of John.

30Shin Farisaawetinne higge asttamaareti Yohaannisa kushen xammaqettonna ixxidi Xoossaa zoriya leqisidosona.But the Pharisees and experts in the law rejected God’s purpose for themselves, because they had not been baptized by John.

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

32Giya giddon uttidi woli xeegidi, ‘Nu hinttew suusul77e punnin, hintte yexxeketa. Nu sabbidi zeleelin, hintte yeekkeketa’ yaagiya 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 Yohaannisi 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, ‘Yarambbanne ushanchcho, qaraxa qanxiseyssatanne nagaranchchota 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, cinccatethaa tumatethay iya nayta ubbaa matan erettis” yaagis.But wisdom is vindicated by all her children.”

36Issi Farisaawey 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 nagaranchcho maccasi de7iyara Yesuusi Farisaawiya son gibira bolla de7eyssa si7ida wode daro al77o philqqaaxe shitto ekkada yasu.When a sinful woman from that town learned that Jesus was dining there, she brought an alabaster jar of perfume.

38Yesuusas guye baggara, iya tohuwa matan eqqada yeekkashe iya tohuwa ba afuthaara laakethawsu. Ba binaanara iya tohuwa quchchashenne 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 Farisaawey hessa be7ida wode ba wozanan, “Hayssi nabe gidiyakko ha maccasiya iya bochchiyara ooneekko qassi iya nagaranchcho gideyssakka 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, “Asttamaariyaw, taw oda” yaagis.But Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” “Tell me, Teacher,” he said.

41Yesuusi iyaakko, “Nam77u asati issi uraappe miishe tal77idosona. Issoy ichchashu xeetu bira hankkoy qassi ishatamu bira tal77idosona.“Two men were debtors to a certain moneylender. One owed him five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.

42Nam77ayka tal77iya cigganaw xoonettin, nam77ataskka tal77iya maaris. Hiza, ha nam77atappe he uraa daro dosanay new awussa daanii” yaagis.When they were unable to repay him, he forgave both of them. Which one, then, will love him more?”

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

44Hessafe guye, Yesuusi maccaseekko simmi xeellidi, Simoonakko, “Hanno maccasiw be7ay? Taani ne soo gelin hari attin ne taw toho haathe immabaakka, shin iya ta tohuwa ba afuthan laakothada ba binaanan quchchasu.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 ekkabaakka, shin iya ta ne soo geloodeppe doomada ta tohuwa yeero aggabukku.You did not greet Me with a kiss, but she has not stopped kissing My feet since I arrived.

46Neeni ta huu7iyan 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 geetettis. Iya guutha nagaray atto geetettiday 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 maccaseekko, “Ne nagaray atto geetettis” yaagis.Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”

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

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