Luke 16 (MFXL) · Opened

1Yesuusa fa tamaaritayiko, «Pettii dure athayis ezipp oommor pettii shuumay yeza. Ye shuumay fa goday shalana toochcheeza yeegii mooteeza.Jesus also said to His disciples, “There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions.

2Shalo goday shuuma xeegisii, ‹Taanii waagizin si7aree? Yhanpp ne ta keethis shuum maaqqii oothodayis danda7oowa gishos ta shalana tana helithoba› yeegeeza.So he called him in to ask, ‘What is this I hear about you? Turn in an account of your management, for you cannot be manager any longer.’

3«Ye shuumaykka fa wozinar yhay garkke yeegii qoppeeza. ‹Ta goday tana shuumetithaypp wothod haniza, wootii aqodayis wolqqa baaya, woossii maadayis yeellathiza; yeezin ta wayizo?The manager said to himself, ‘What shall I do, now that my master is taking away my position? I am too weak to dig and too ashamed to beg.

4Shuumatithapp tana wodhisiko wode asay tana mokkod garkk oothod baz ta eriza› yeegeeza.I know what I will do so that after my removal from management, people will welcome me into their homes.’

5«Yey gishos, e goday aco yez asa petta petta xeegii ki7ii tiina athayko, ‹Neell afa ta goday aco aappunii yenee?› yeegii oyceeza.And he called in each one of his master’s debtors. ‘How much do you owe my master?’ he asked the first.

6«E, ‹Xeet ota zayite aco yeza› yeegeeza. «Shuumay, ‹Wule warqatta yhayishee, ellisii, ishatam ota zayite aco yeza gi xaafoba› yeegeeza.‘A hundred measures of olive oil,’ he answered. ‘Take your bill,’ said the manager, ‘sit down quickly, and write fifty.’

7«Yeyppe kaali nam7inthayiko, ‹Nees aappunii yenee?› yeegeeza. «E, Xeet joniya ‹gistte aco yeza› yeegeeza. «Shuumay, ‹Ne wule warqatta yhayshe, ellisii, hosppun tam joniya yeegii xaafoba› yeegeeza.Then he asked another, ‘And how much do you owe?’ ‘A hundred measures of wheat,’ he replied. ‘Take your bill and write eighty,’ he told him.

8Shalo goday ammaninttowa shuumay e bilaamatithayis nashshicheeza. Yha alamay na7itay as aythar poo7o na7itaypp aadheez wozinaamita.The master commended the dishonest manager because he had acted shrewdly. For the sons of this age are more shrewd in dealing with their own kind than are the sons of light.

9«Yey gishos, ta yinttis odiza; yha worddo miishay worddor bentteez wodayid medhina keetha yinttan mokoday garkk miishayir yinttis laggita wonggoytta.I tell you, use worldly wealth to make friends for yourselves so that when it is gone, they will welcome you into eternal dwellings.

10Ubbaypp xiqqa bazal ammanintteezay gaame bazal ammanintteeza maaqqiza. Ma ubbappi xiqqa bazal ammaninttowazay gaame bazal ammaninttooya.Whoever is faithful with very little will also be faithful with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much.

11Yikkee, yha alame miishel yi ammaninttaam ixxiko tuma miishe yinttis oonii hadara immade?So if you have not been faithful with worldly wealth, who will entrust you with true riches?

12Yinttii hara as miishel ammaninttaam ixxiko, yi buzo miishe yinttis oonii immade?And if you have not been faithful with the belongings of another, who will give you belongings of your own?

13«Pettii ayllay nam77ii goditayis moodinttodayis danda7ooya. Petta ixxiko yhankkaya qadhdhiza woy pettayiko shiiqiko yhankkaya leqqiza. Yey garkk, yi Xoossisinnee miishes moodinttodayis danda7ooya.»No servant can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.”

14Miishe qadhdhiza Ferisaawitay yeya si7ii Yesuusa qaldeeza.The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all of this and were scoffing at Jesus.

15E, «Yinttii yinttan as tiina xillisiza, zin Xoossay yi wozina eriza. As tiina bonchchintteezay Xooss tiina borintteeza.So He said to them, “You are the ones who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is prized among men is detestable before God.

16«Muse higgaynnee nabitay kiitay Waannisa hellodayis yinttis odinttittar gam7eeza. Yeyppe guye, Xoossa kaatetitha Wonggilay oothittar gam7eeza. Asii ubbay ye aqa gelodayis dafinttiza.The Law and the Prophets were proclaimed until John. Since that time, the gospel of the kingdom of God is being preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it.

17Maaqqozin, higgaypp pettii laafa pidaale attodaypp salorannee sa7ar aadhizay shawukkiza.But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for a single stroke of a pen to drop out of the Law.

18«Fa machchat dakkii hara ekkiza ubbay wodire laammiza. Fa azinaypp anjjitteezano ekkeeziykka wodire laammiza» yeegeeza.Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

19«Ali7onnee buquro afila ma77iza, sa7a hanin gallas gallas ufayisar yez pettii dure as yeza.Now there was a rich man dressed in purple and fine linen, who lived each day in joyous splendor.

20Hara ma gallay muumer madunxeez pettii Alaazara ginttinttiz manqqay ye dure athay bale doginttii atteezay yeza.And a beggar named Lazarus lay at his gate, covered with sores

21Nayepp dendeezayid dure athay leematepp wodhdhiz gufa maadayis amotitar yeza. Hara attozin, kanitay yi7ii e madotha laa7iza.and longing to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.

22«Ye manqqay yhayqqeeza; kiitanchchitay eza Afraame ki7o kanggeeza. Ma dure athaykka yhayqqii moogintteeza.One day the beggar died and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s side. And the rich man also died and was buried.

23Si7oole un77inttii yezitar dhoqqi gi haakor Afraamennee e ki7o yez Alaazara be7eeza.In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham from afar, with Lazarus by his side.

24E, ‹Adayyo Afraame, taasi qadhinttooye; yha lathi tamay gancce eexxittar yez gishos Alaazare fa biradhdhe xeerato haatha dakkii ta iranthato laakithod garkk hayyana eza dakkooye› yeegii uukkeeza.So he cried out, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue. For I am in agony in this fire.’

25«Zin Afraame eziko, ‹Ta na7ayyo, ne sa7a yessayid lo77o baz ekkeezanannee, ma Alaazare iita baz ekkeezana akakoba. Zin yhatti E yhaydda ufayttiza, ma neenii waayttar yeza› yeegeeza.But Abraham answered, ‘Child, remember that during your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things. But now he is comforted here, while you are in agony.

26Yha ubbapp aadhii, ‹Yhayppe yinttiko, yinippe yhana nuuko aadhodayis koyizitay piinggaam garkk nuusinnee yinttis gancce damma gaga yeza› yeegeeza.And besides all this, a great chasm has been fixed between us and you, so that even those who wish cannot cross from here to you, nor can anyone cross from there to us.’

27«Dure athay, ‹Ta adayyo, yeezako Alaazara ta aday kara kiittod garkk ta nena woossiza.‘Then I beg you, father,’ he said, ‘send Lazarus to my father’s house,

28Taas ichchin ishitay yeza, unttikka yha meto aqa ye7aamay garkk unttis yhanigii markkatto› yeegeeza.for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also end up in this place of torment.’

29«Zin Afraame, ‹Unttiss Muserannee nabitayir yeza; unttii odeez baz si7o› yeegeeza.But Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let your brothers listen to them.’

30«Dure athay, ‹Adayyo Afraame, yey garkk baaya; pettii asii yhayiqopp denddii yhanigiko unttii maarotith geloda› yeegeeza.‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone is sent to them from the dead, they will repent.’

31«Afiraame, ‹Musennee nabita si7aam ixxiko, hara attozin yhayiqopp pettii asii denddii odikokka ammanenna› yeegeeza.»Then Abraham said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be persuaded even if someone rises from the dead.’”
