Luke 20 (MFXL) · Opened

1Pettii gallas Yesuusa Xoossa Keethi gancce asa tamaarssodarannee Wonggile markkattodar, qeese halaqitay, higge asitamaaritaynnee gade cimitay wolla eziko yi7ii,One day as Jesus was teaching the people in the temple courts and proclaiming the gospel, the chief priests and scribes, together with the elders, came up to Him.

2«Ne yhayitita aba mawuter oothizako nuus odoba. Yha mawuta neesi inigeezay oonoo?» yeegii oycceeza.“Tell us,” they said, “by what authority are You doing these things, and who gave You this authority?”

3E unttiko, «Taakka yinttan pettibaz oyccoda, ane taasi mahoytta.“I will also ask you a question,” Jesus replied. “Tell Me:

4Xammaqqiza Waannisa xinqqatay Xoossapenne asappee?» yeegeeza.John’s baptism—was it from heaven, or from men?”

5U woli gancce yeegii tobbeeza: «Xoossapp giiko yeezin, abis ammanekasa?» yeegoda.They deliberated among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will ask, ‘Why did you not believe him?’

6«Asapp giiko, asii ubbay Waannisa nabe maaqqizana ammaniza gishos nuna shuchchar shocoda.»But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are convinced that John was a prophet.”

7Yey gishos, «Anappezako nu erooya» yeegii maheeza.So they answered that they did not know where it was from.

8Yesuusa mahii, «Yikkee, taakka aba mawuter yhayitita oothizako yinttis odaamii» yeegeeza.And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”

9Yeypp guye, Yesuusa yeegii yha aazisa asayis odeeza: «Pettii asii woyine tukkeeza. Wootizitayis mattaye inggii gaame wode gam77ii ye7odayis hara gade yhanigeeza.Then He proceeded to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard, rented it out to some tenants, and went away for a long time.

10Woyne aafa maxiza woday hellin woyine aafaypp ezisi dakkod garkk biitta wootizitayiko fa aylla kiiteeza. Zin wootizitay ye aylla aykkii yhadhdhii kallo kushe dakkeeza.At harvest time, he sent a servant to the tenants to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard. But the tenants beat the servant and sent him away empty-handed.

11Ma maaqqikka hara aylla kiiteeza. Ma biitta wootizitay eza yhadhdhii, toochchii kallo kushe dakkeeza.So he sent another servant, but they beat him and treated him shamefully, sending him away empty-handed.

12Yhattekka mahii hayidzantho aylla kiiteeza. Wootizitay ezakka yhadhdhii madunthii woynnee ganccaypp gaxa kessii oleeza.Then he sent a third, but they wounded him and threw him out.

13«Woyine goday, ‹Yeezin ta ab ootho? An ma ta qadhdhiza ta na7a dakkoda; oonii eree u eza bonchchekka ashshaamii› yeegeeza.‘What shall I do?’ asked the owner of the vineyard. ‘I will send my beloved son. Perhaps they will respect him.’

14«Zin biitta wootizitay athay na7a bi7ii ‹Yhay eza laattodaya, yhana ye7oytta eza wolla wodhoda, yeeziko laatay nuus maaqqada› yeegii tobbeeza.But when the tenants saw the son, they discussed it among themselves and said, ‘This is the heir. Let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’

15Woyine ganccepp gaxa kessii wodheeza. Yeezin, woyine goday ye asita wayssadee?So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?

16Yi7ii ye biitta wootizunthan wodhoda, woyine gadana hara asayis immada. Asay yeya si7eez wode ‹Shinchchalle yey garkk baz hanippee» yeegeeza.He will come and kill those tenants and give the vineyard to others.” And when the people heard this, they said, “May such a thing never happen!”

17Yesuusa unttan dakkii bi7ii, «Yeezin ‹Gimbbe keexxiza asay boreez shuchchay, keeth muumer tookkii aykkiz Kirkiro garkk ubbapp adhiz shuchchi maaqqeeza› ginttinttii xaafintteezayis birshshithay abba?But Jesus looked directly at them and said, “Then what is the meaning of that which is written: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone’?

18Ye shuchchyil afa wodhiz ubbay gaccinttoda, shuchchay ezal afa wodhdhiz ubbitaykka gaacinttoda» yeegeeza.Everyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed.”

19Higge asitamaaritaynnee qeese halaqitay yha aazisay odintteezay unttal afa maaqqeezana erii ye wode eza aykkodayis koyeeza, zin woyayis yashitteeza.When the scribes and chief priests realized that Jesus had spoken this parable against them, they sought to arrest Him that very hour. But they were afraid of the people.

20Yey gishos, Yesuusa gade aqisiza Oroome kaatayis aathii immadayis koyii e doonapp buuta qaala naagiza. Yeya polisodayis geeshsh as aazii qohiz asita eziko azazeeza.So they watched Him closely and sent spies who pretended to be sincere. They were hoping to catch Him in His words in order to hand Him over to the rule and authority of the governor.

21Kiitinttii yhanigeez asay, «Asitamaarayyo, neenii odizayinee tamaarssizay likke maaqqeeza, ma Xooss oge tumatithar tamaarssizannee oonakka shaakkoozana nu eriza.“Teacher,” they inquired, “we know that You speak and teach correctly. You show no partiality but teach the way of God in accordance with the truth.

22Hano zin, Oroome kaatayis giira giirodayis beezinennee beezoosa?» yeegii eza oycceeza.Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”

23Zin E u wozina iitatitha ereezi gishosBut Jesus saw through their duplicity and said to them,

24«Ane tana pettii santte beezoytta, Ezal afar yez misilaynnee sunthay o bazo?» yeegeeza. U mahii, «Qeesaareessii» yeegeeza.“Show Me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” “Caesar’s,” they answered.

25E mahii, «yeezako, Qeesareesa Qeesaares, Xoossiisa Xoossis inggoytta» yeegeeza.So Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”

26Yey gishos, E maheezi malssaypp woyay tiina buuta denggodays danda7ekkaya. U e mahiz malssa malabaz gi si77e geeza.And they were unable to trap Him in His words before the people. And amazed at His answer, they fell silent.

27Yhayiqopp denddo baaya yeegiz Saduqaawitaypp pettay pettay Yesuusako yi7ii,Then some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to question Him.

28«Asitamaarayyo, pettii asii machcho ekkii na7a yelekkazar yhayqqiko, e ishay ye machchato ekkii na7ita yelii fa ishayis kochchii ashshoday garkk Muse xaafeeza.“Teacher,” they said, “Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man is to marry his brother’s widow and raise up offspring for him.

29Yeezako laappun ishitay yeza. Bayiray machcho ekkii na7a yelekkazar yhayqqeeza.Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a wife but died childless.

30E kaalaykka izo ekkii na7a yelekkazar yhayqqeeza.Then the second

31Hayidzanthaykka yey garkk haneeza. Laappunitay ubbay yhay garkk hanii izo ekkeeza, zin na7a yelekkazar yhayqqeeza.and the third married the widow, and in the same way all seven died, leaving no children.

32Wurssithal asitakka yhayqqeeza.And last of all, the woman died.

33Yikkee, laappun ishitay izo ekkeez gishos yhayqqopp denddiza wode iza o machcho maaqqadee?» yeegii oycceeza.So then, in the resurrection, whose wife will she be? For all seven were married to her.”

34Yesuusa mahii, «Asay yha alamayill ekkizannee geliza.Jesus answered, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage.

35Zin yhayiqopp denddii ye7od alamayill yezodayis beeziza asay ekkooyannee gelooya.But those who are considered worthy to share in the age to come and in the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage.

36Unttii kiitanchcho garkk maaqqiz gishos tiinapp yhayqqenna. Yhayiqopp dendeez gishos unttii Xooss na7ita.In fact, they can no longer die, because they are like the angels. And since they are sons of the resurrection, they are sons of God.

37Muse Goda, ‹Afraame Goda, Isaaqa Goda, Yayqqooba Goda› maaqqii tusha wora gancce xuuggiz tama taarika xaafeezayid yhayqqeez asay denddizana beeziza.Even Moses demonstrates that the dead are raised, in the passage about the burning bush. For he calls the Lord ‘the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’

38Ubbay ezis path yeza maaqqiz gishos E pathi yezitay Godaypp attin yhayqqeezitay Goda baaya» yeegii maheeza.He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to Him all are alive.”

39Higge asitamaaritaypp pettay pettay, «Asitamaarayyo, lo77o baz ne odeeza» yeegeeza.Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, You have spoken well!”

40Yeyppe guye, hara oych oyccodayis yashitteeza.And they did not dare to question Him any further.

41Ezaypp maaqqii Yesuusa unttiko, «Asay Kiristtoosa wayizii Dawute na7a yeegee?Then Jesus declared, “How can it be said that the Christ is the Son of David?

42Abis giiko, Dawute fa ubbas fa mazmuure maxaafayid, «Xoossay ta Godayiko ‹Ta ne morkkita; ne tokay yedhdheez besse oothod gatho, taapp ushachch baggar bettoba› geeza» yeegeeza.For David himself says in the book of Psalms: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand

44«Yikkee, Dawute Kiristtoosa, ‹Goda gi xeegittar ezis na7a wayizii maaqqee?› » yeegeeza.Thus David calls Him ‘Lord.’ So how can He be David’s son?”

45Woya ubbitay si7odar fa tamaaritayiko,In the hearing of all the people, Jesus said to His disciples,

46«Aduss afila ma77ii yuushshe dosizitaypp, gabe gancce bonchcho sarotho, Ayihuditay Woosa Keetha bonchcho oyde, mokinttiza karakka bonchcho aqo koyiz higge asitamaaritaypp naaginttoyta.“Beware of the scribes. They like to walk around in long robes, and they love the greetings in the marketplaces, the chief seats in the synagogues, and the places of honor at banquets.

47Unttikka am7itay kara kallosiza, geesh as aazii as beezodayis woosa adussiza. U iita pirdde ekkoda» yeegeeza.They defraud widows of their houses, and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will receive greater condemnation.”
