Luke 12 (MFXL) · Opened

1Ye wode gaame mukuler taybinttiza asay wolalli afa yedhdhinttod gatho asii asal afa shiiqii yezin, Yesuusa fa tamaaritayiko, «Ferisaawitay irshshopp naaginitoytta. Yeyikka cubbotith.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.

2Benttekka qosinttii, erinttekka kamintti attizibaz akkokka baaya.There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, and nothing hidden that will not be made known.

3Yikkee, yi dhuma odeezibazay ubbay poo7o si7inttoda, qol7a haye kalkkasheez baz woyas odinttoda.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 bagguntho, ta odiza si7oytta; asho wodhizapp attin hara abikka oothodayis danda7oozittayis yashittippate.I tell you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more.

5Hano zin, yi yashittodayis beezizana ta yinttis beessada. Yeykka wodheezayppe guye Gaanname olodayis mawute yezayis ezis yashittooytta. Ee, tuma giza; ezis yashittooytta.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!

6Ichchin suunnitay pettii santifess bayizinttoosannee? Hanopp attin unttapp pettatakka Xooss tiina doginttenna.Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God.

7Hara attozin, yi ooma binanaykka payidinttii yeza. Yikkee, yashittippate; gaame suunnitaypp yi aadhiza.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 odiza si7oytta; as tiina ta baz markkattiz ubbayis As Na7ay Xooss kiitanchchitay tiina markkottoda.I tell you, everyone who confesses Me before men, the Son of Man will also confess him before the angels of God.

9As tiina tana kaddizana Xooss kiitanchchitay tiina ta eza kaddoda.But whoever denies Me before men will be denied before the angels of God.

10As Na7al afa leqo qaala odiz ubbitay maarotithi demmada, zin geeshsha Ayyana cazhizitay maarinttenna.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«Asii yinttan aykkii Ayihuditay Woosa Keetha, daynnitay tiinannee kaatitay tiina gooshichchiza wode ab ododazakonnee waagii mahodazako hirigipatte.When you are brought before synagogues, rulers, and authorities, do not worry about how to defend yourselves or what to say.

12Ye wode yi odod baz geeshsha Ayyanay yinttan tamarssoda» yeegeeza.For at that time the Holy Spirit will teach you what you should say.”

13Woyitaypp pettii asii Yesuusako yi7ii, «Ta ishay taas nu aday keekepp shaakkod garkk ezis odoba» yeegeeza.Someone in the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”

14Yesuusa mahii, «Naat athayyo, yinttal afa tana daynninnee keeke shaakkiz cima ootheezay oonoo?» yeegeeza.But Jesus replied, “Man, who appointed Me judge or executor between you?”

15Maakka Yesuusa, «As yessay shalo gaametithar baazay gishos yaare ashshii miinthii yinttan naagoytta» yeegeeza.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.”

16Maaqqikka aazisor, «Gaday gaame katha inggiz pettii dure athay yeza.Then He told them a parable: “The ground of a certain rich man produced an abundance.

17Ye athay, ‹Ta katha taanii shiishodayis aqo xiqqeez gishos ab ootho?› yeegii fa wozinar qoppeeza.So he thought to himself, ‘What shall I do, since I have nowhere to store my crops?’

18Yhanppe yessada; tiin yeza shaalita hullii hara dalgge shaale keexxoda. Kathannee taas yeza baz ubba ezayid oloda.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.

19Fa shemppatiko, ‹Ta shemppate, gaame laythis nees gidiza shalo shiisheeza. Yikkee, shempp mooba, uzhoba, ufayttoba› yeegoda.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«Zin Xoossay, ‹Naat, boozo athayyo, yhayino qamma ne shemppata neepp ekinttiza. Yikkee, ne shiisheezay ooss maaqqode?› yeegeeza.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«Yey gishos, paas duretithii sa7all shiishiza asis, Xooss kale dure maaqqekka asis wurssithay yha athayisaygarkke» yeegeeza.This is how it will be for anyone who stores up treasure for himself but is not rich toward God.”

22Yeyppe guye, Yesuusa fa tamaaritayiko, «Yikkee, ta odiza baz si7oytta, yi shemppos ab maadee yi gallas ab ma77odee yeegii un77inttippate.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.

23Shemppo kathapp galla afilapp aadhiza.For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes.

24Kafita bo7oytta zerooya, maxooya, shaalekka baaya. Zin Xoossay unttan muziza. Yi kafitaypp lo7ithii aadhiza.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!

25Hano zin, yinttipp un77inttii fa laythal afa pettii qamma gujjodayis danda7izay oonoo?Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?

26Yikkee, yha xiqqabaz oothodayis danda7oowa yi harabazis abis un77inttee?So if you cannot do such a small thing, why do you worry about the rest?

27An fudhitay wayizii diccizako bo7oytta. Waayooya suqqooya. Hara attozin, Solomone paas yeezii bonchcho ubbayir unttapp pettay garkkekka ma77ii be7ekkaya.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.

28Yinttano, ammano pacceezitayyo, yikkee, Xoossay yhayino benttii wontta tama gancce wodhdhod fudhita yhay garkke ma7isiko, yinttan wayizii aathii ma7isoosa?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!

29Yey gishos, ab moshsha woy ab uzhoshsha gi yi wozinar un77inttippate.And do not be concerned about what you will eat or drink. Do not worry about it.

30Ye ubba Xoossa ammanoowa asay koyiza. Zin yi aday Xoossay yey ubbitay yinttis koshshizana eriza.For the Gentiles of the world strive after all these things, and your Father knows that you need them.

31Ubbapp aathii Xooss kaattetitha kozhoytta yey ubbitay yinttis gujjii inginttoda.But seek His kingdom, and these things will be added unto you.

32«Yinttano, xiqqa woyitayyo, yi aday Xoossay kaattetitha yinttis immadayis e lo77o shene maaqqeeza yashittippate.Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the kingdom.

33Yinttis yeza baz bayizii manqqitayis inggoytta. Kayzo ekkowa, bila moowa aqo, cimowa qurbo gancce, wuroowa shalana salo shiishoytta.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.

34Yi wozinay yi shalay yeza aqo maaqqada.For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

35«Yi xeessay danccintteeza, yi xomppay poo7eeza maaqqo.Be dressed for service and keep your lamps burning.

36Fa goday bossaypp maaqqad gatho barkkii naagizitay garkk, goday yi7ii xeegiz wode ellis dooyodayis giigeez asita aazoytta.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.

37Fa goday maaqqiz wode genttekkazar naagizitay anjjintteezita. Ta turo giza; goday haatar danccii leemmate lanqqayid bettithi mokkiza.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 giddii bilahe maaqqin woy wonttimaathe maaqqin yi7ii, yey garkk genttekazar naagodar denggiza ye ayllitay anjjintteezita.Even if he comes in the second or third watch of the night and finds them alert, those servants will be blessed.

39Zin yhaya eroytta; kayizo ayide ye7odazako kara aday erizako keethay bokinttamizin.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.

40Yinttikka giigii naagoytta; As Na7ay yi qoppekka wode ye7oda» yeegeeza.You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect.”

41Phixiroosakka, «Godayyo yha aazisa nu aaddas odinenee as ubbaso?» yeegeeza.“Lord,” said Peter, “are You addressing this parable to us, or to everyone else as well?”

42Goday mahii, «Yikkee, katha muzodayis beeziza woder immad garkk goday fa ayllitayil afa shuumeez ammanthizaynnee wozinaamay oonoo?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 maaqqodar yey garkk oothittar benttiz ayllay E anjjintteezayaBlessed is that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.

44Ta yinttis turo odiza; fa godayis yez shalo ubbayil afa E shuuminttoda.Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.

45Zin ye ayllay, ‹Ta goday ellithii ye7enna› yeegii fa wozinar qoppii, gadhinditannee gaachita yhadhdhiko, ma paas kozheez garkk miitarannee uzhittar mathiko,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.

46ye ayllay goday E qoppekka gallasaninnee hirggekka wode ye7oda. Yi7ii eza gashichii, e anija ammanoowa asitayir oothoda.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«Goday shenay garkk giigozayinnee e goday ab qadhdhizako erittar oothowa ayllay gaame garafinttoda.That servant who knows his master’s will but does not get ready or follow his instructions will be beaten with many blows.

48Zin fa goday shena erekka attii garafinttodayis beezizana ootheezay xiqqal garafinttoda. Abis giiko gaame inggintteezaypp gaame koyinttiza, gaame hadara ekkeezayppekka gaame immad gi naaginttiza.»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«Taanii ye7eezay biittal afa tama aythodayis. Yhatti tamay aykkizako tana wayizii ufayssoddeshsha!I have come to ignite a fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!

50Hano zin, ta yhatti xammaqinttiza xinqqatay yeza. E polinttod gatho ta waafa un77inttodeshsha.But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!

51Sa7all afa sarotithi ko7odayis ye7eeza yinttis aazinee? Yeya baaya, ta ye7eezay shaakkodayis.Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I tell you, but division.

52Yhattepp aykkii woli gancce shaakintteez ichchin asay pettii keetha wolla yeza. Nam7ittay hayidzitayil afa, hayizitayikka nam7itayil afa, denddii shaakinttoda.From now on, five in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three.

53Aday na7ayil afa, na7aykka adayil afa, indat na7attil afa, na7ata indatil afa, azinnay indat na7ay machchatil afa, na7ay machchat azinnay indatil afa, dendii shaakinttoda.»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.”

54Maakka asayiko, «Awa gelo baggar salo shaaratiza wode bi7ii, ellis, ‹Ira ye7oda› yi yeegiza, yey garkkekka haniza.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.

55Sulle bagga carkko carkkiza wode ‹Sa7ay awoda› yi yeegiza, yey garkkekka haniza» yeegeeza.And when the south wind blows, you say, ‘It will be hot,’ and it is.

56Yinttano, cubbitayyo, Salobazinnee sa7abaz shaakkii erizin yha woda shaakkii eroday yinttan wayizii gameenee?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«Yeezin, yi ubbas abis tuma pirddoosa?And why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right?

58Ne morkkayir wolla dayina tiina eqqodayis yhanigittar ogel afa giigodayis koyii. Ne giigekka attiko gooshichchi daynna tiina nena kammada. Daynnay nena poolisees aathii immada. E nena woyne oloda.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.

59Si7oytta, pettii bakkanna attekazin ciggi haassod gatho ne izipp kezaamizanno eroba» yeegeeza.I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the very last penny.”
