Luke 14 (MFXL) · Opened

1Maala gallas Yesuusa pettii Farasaawitay halaqay kara katha maadayis gelodar asay e ab udizak be7adayi naagiza.One Sabbath, Jesus went to eat in the home of a leading Pharisee, and those in attendance were watching Him closely.

2Ye aqayid shawuhe harger metinttiza pettii as ezis tiina baggar woyi7eeza.Right there before Him was a man with dropsy.

3Yesuusa Ferisaawutayikonnee higge asitamaaritayiko, «maala gallas harggintteez as pathizay woganee woga baasa?» yeegii oycceeza.So Jesus asked the experts in the law and the Pharisees, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?”

4U si77 ateeza. Yesuusa hargginttiza atha bochchii pathi moyzeeza.But they remained silent. Then Jesus took hold of the man, healed him, and sent him on his way.

5«Maakka yinttipp pettayis na7a woy gemate maala gallas hoobbo wodhdhiko ellisii kessoozay oonoo» yeegii oycceeza.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?”

6U pettibazikka mahodayis danda7ekkaya.And they were unable to answer these questions.

7Yesuusa imatos xeegintteezitay bonchcho aqo doorodar bi7ii, yha aazisa odeeza:When Jesus noticed how the guests chose the places of honor, He told them a parable:

8«Pettii asii nena bossas xeegiko bonchcho aqo bettippe. Neepp aadhii bonchchinttiza asii xeeginttodayis danda7iza.“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.

9Yinttan nam7itakka xeegeezay yi7ii, ‹Ne aqa yha imathayis dakkoba› yeegiz wode ne yeellatittar sull wodhdhada.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.

10Maaqqozin, ne xeegintteez wode tiinattii ziqqa aqo bi7ii bettoba. Xeegeezay yi7ii, ‹Ta laggayyo, yha bonchcho aqayid bettoba› yeegoda. Ye wode neer wolla xeegintteez asa ubbay tiina ne bonchchinttoda.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.

11Fana shokk shokk udiz ubbitay kawuzhoda; fana ziqq ziqq udiz ubbitay shokk shokk goda.»For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”

12Maakka Yesuusa eza mokkeez kara adayiko, «Quma woy kaho imato xeegiz wode neenii kushe maho xeegaamay garkk ne laggita woy ne ishita woy ne dabbita woy ne dure shoorita imato xeegippe.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.

13Maaqqozin, ne imato makkeez wode manqqita, wobbita, silitannee to7ita xeegoba; ne anjjinttoda.But when you host a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind,

14Yhayititay kushe mahodayis danda7oowa gishos kushe mahithay geeshshitay denddo gallas Xooss nees mahoda» yeegeeza.and you will be blessed. Since they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”

15Yesuusar wolla imatol afa betteezitay gancceppe pettay yeya si7ii, «Xoossa kaatetithayid imatol afa betteezay anjjintteezaya» yeegeeza.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.”

16Yesuusa, «Pettii as damma imato giigisii gaame asita xeegeeza.But Jesus replied, “A certain man prepared a great banquet and invited many guests.

17Imato mokinttiza saatat helliz wode xeegintteez imathita, ‹Yeezako ubba baz giigeeza, yhana ye7oytta› yeegii xeegod garkk fa aylla azazeeza.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«Zin ubbitaykka fa salambe salambe medhdheeza. Pettay, ‹Yhatti ta haga gade wonggeez gishos yhanigii be7adayis koshshiza hayyana tana ashshooyee› yeegeeza.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.’

19Yhankkay, ‹Ichchin waaxa gemate wonggeeza unttan waaxii faacii be7ad gishos hayyana taal lanccippe› yeegeeza.Another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to try them out. Please excuse me.’

20Ma yhankkay, ‹Taanii haga meddal yez gishos ye7odayis danda7inttaamii› yeegeeza.Still another said, ‘I have married a wife, so I cannot come.’

21«Ayllay maaqqii yi7ii yeya ubba fa godayis odeeza. Ye wode boss goday kaccinttii ayllayiko, ‹Ellis katama yez goossitayillane husa ogitayill yhanigii, manqqita, wobbita, to7itannee gunddeezita yhana ko7oba› yeegeeza.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«Ayllay, ‹Ta godayyo, ne kiiteezay ubbitay polintteeza, zin yhattekka aqo yeza› yeegeeza.‘Sir,’ the servant replied, ‘what you ordered has been done, and there is still room.’

23«Goday ayllayiko, ‹Goositayil afannee, kara gancce ogell kezoba, ta keethay kumod gatho bentteez ubbitay ye7od garkk udoba.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 yinttis odiza; imatinttii atteezitaypp oonkka ta ataalaypp maamizana eroytta› geeza» yeegeeza.For I tell you, not one of those men who were invited will taste my banquet.’”

25Gaame asay ezar wolla yhammadar Yesuusa unttiko guye maaqqii,Now large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and He turned and said to them,

26«Taako yi7iz ubbitay fa adannee fa indo, fa machchattonnee fa na7ita, fa ishitannee fa mishita, hara attozin fa shemppo ixxoozay ta tamaare maaqqodayis danda7ooya.“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.

27Fa mazqale tookkii tana kaallowa oonkka ta tamaare maaqqodayis danda7ooya.And whoever does not carry his cross and follow Me cannot be My disciple.

28«Yinttipp pettii asii shuchch keeth keexxodayis koyiko, keeth keexxii wurssodayis ab garkk miishe koshshizako tiinattii erodayis qoppozay oonoo?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?

29Yeya maaqqekka attiko, yha athay baasol shuchchi hiixxin wursso gamiko,Otherwise, if he lays the foundation and is unable to finish the work, everyone who sees it will ridicule him,

30bi7iza ubbay, ‹Yha athay gimbbithi aykkin wurssodayis eza gameeza› yeegii boriza.saying, ‘This man could not finish what he started to build.’

31«Woy pettii kaatay hara kaatar olinttodayis denddittar laatam mukule olanchchita ekkii ye besa kaatayir taphphii mukule olanchchitar eqinttodayis danda7odanannee danda7aamiza tiinattii bettii zorinttoozay oonoo?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?

32Eqinttodayis danda7inttoowa baz maaqqiko, ye hara kaatayir haakor yeezin dabbotodayis tiinattii cima dakkii oyicishshiza.And if he is unable, he will send a delegation while the other king is still far off, to ask for terms of peace.

33Yey garkke, yinttapp oonkka paas yeza baz ubbita ashshaam ixxiko ta tamaare maaqqodayis danda7ooya.In the same way, any one of you who does not give up everything he has cannot be My disciple.

34«Maxine lo77o, zin maxine fa mal7a ashshiko, wayizii maxine giinttinttodayis danda7inee?Salt is good, but if the salt loses its savor, with what will it be seasoned?

35Biittaskka araddisoskka maaddoowa baz maaqqiz gishos alla olinttoda. Yikkee, si7iz hayer yez as si7o» yeegeeza.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.”
