Luke 7 (MFXL) · Opened

1Yesuusa yeya ubba as tiina tamaarssii wurisseezaypp guye, qifirnahooma katama yhanigeeza.When Jesus had concluded His discourse in the hearing of the people, He went to Capernaum.

2Ye aqayid pettii mato halaqay yeza. E gaame qadhdhiza ayllay hargginttii yhayiqos helleeza.There a highly valued servant of a centurion was sick and about to die.

3E Yesuusa bagga si7eez wode fa aylla pathoday garkk eza woosso gi Ayihuditay cimita Yesuusako kiiteeza.When the centurion heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to ask Him to come and heal his servant.

4Kiitintteezitay, Yesuusako yhanigii, «Ne eesi yhaya oothodayis beeziza.They came to Jesus and pleaded with Him earnestly, “This man is worthy to have You grant this,

5Abis giiko, yha athay nu asa qaadhiza, Ayihuditayis Woosa Keethakka keexxeeza» gi miinthii woosseezafor he loves our nation and has built our synagogue.”

6Yesuusakka unttar yhanigeeza. Mato halaqay karako ukkodar fa laggita eziko kiittii, «Godayyo, ta keethayid ne gelodayis taas beezekka gishos daaburippe.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.

7Taakka tana ne tiina shiiqodayis beeziza as gi qoppooya. Zin ne yhan ize eqqii pettii qaala odoba; ta ayllay paxoda.That is why I did not consider myself worthy to come to You. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.

8Taas taapp afar halaqay yeza, taapp oommor ta kiittiza wotaaddaritay yeza. Petta, ‹Qitoba› giiko qittiza, yhankka, ‹yhana ye7oba› giiko yi7iza. Ta aylliyakko, ‹Yhanno oothoba› giiko oothiza» yeegeeza.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.”

9Yesuusa yeya si7eez wode malabaz geeza. Guye maaqqii yhanigii asayiko, «Ta yinttis turo odiza; hara attozin Isra7ele ganccekka yhay garkk gita ammano ta denggekka» yeegeeza.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.”

10Kiitintteezitay kara maaqqadar ayllay paxin denggeeza.And when the messengers returned to the house, they found the servant in good health.

11Wontitha gallas Yesuusa Nayine katama yhanigeeza. E tamaaritayirannee hara gaame asay ezar yhanigeeza.Soon afterward, Jesus went to a town called Nain. His disciples went with Him, accompanied by a large crowd.

12E katama gelod hanodar aha tookkeez gaame asay katamapp kezeeza. Yhayqqeez na7ay fa indatis petto, izakka am7o. Katama asaypp gaamitay izir yeza.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 izo bi7ii qadhinttii, «Yeekkippe» yeegeeza.When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said, “Do not weep.”

14Shiiqii hala bochchin tookkeez asay eqqeeza. Yesuusa, «Naat, yelagayyo denddoba» yeegeeza.Then He went up and touched the coffin, and those carrying it stood still. “Young man,” He said, “I tell you, get up!”

15Yhayqqeezay denddii bettii nashsha aykkeeza. Yesuusa na7a denthii indatis inggeeza.And the dead man sat up and began to speak! Then Jesus gave him back to his mother.

16As ubbitay yashittii, «Ubbapp aadhiz nabe nu gancce denddeeza; Xoossay fa asita be7eeza» yeegii Xoossa galateeza.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!”

17E waaray Yihudaninne ye heerayid yez biitta ubbayil sintteeza.And the news about Jesus spread throughout Judea and all the surrounding region.

18Xammaqiza Waannisa tamaarttay yeya ubbita Waannisas odeeza. E u ganccepp nam7ita xeegii,Then John’s disciples informed him about all these things.

19«Ye7od giinttintteezay nenanee? Woy hara naago?» yeegii oycoytta gi Godayiko kiiteeza.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?”

20Asay Yesuusako yhanigii, xammaqiza Waannisa, «Ye7od giinttintteezay Masay nenanee? Woy hara nu naago?» goytta gi nuna neeko kiiteeza yeegeeza.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?’”

21Ye saatatte Yesuusa gaame asa hargepp patheeza. Tuna ayyanita kesseeza, gaame to7eez as aafitakka bi7iseeza.At that very hour Jesus healed many people of their diseases, afflictions, and evil spirits, and He gave sight to many who were blind.

22Waannisa kanttapp kiitinttii ye7eezitayko, «Yhanigii yi be7eezanannee si7eezana Waannisas odoytta. Aafe to7itay bi7iza, gundditay bili7inttii yedhdhiza, borqqonttor yezitay geezhiza, tullitay si7iza, yhayqqeezittay yhayiqopp denddiza, manqqitayis Wongilay sabbakinttiza.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.

23Taal dhubinttowa oonkka anjjintteezaya.»Blessed is the one who does not fall away on account of Me.”

24Waannisa kiitteezitay yhanigeezaypp guye Yesuusa woyayis Waannisa baz yeegii odeeza: «Yi ab be7adayis liizho kezeene? Carkko eni7issiza maqa be7adayisonee?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?

25Yeezin, ab be7adayis kezeene? Bonchcho afila ma7eez asa be7adayisinne? Bonchcho afila ma77ezitaynnee sa7a giigeez asay kaati keetha yeza.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.

26Yeezin, ab be7adayis kezeene? Nabe be7adayisonee? Ee, ta yeegiza: yi be7adayis kezeezay nabepp aadhizana.What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.

27«‹Ne oge ne tiina giigisiza ta kiitanchcha neeppi tiina ta kiittoda› yeeginttii xaafintteezay yhayis ezissii.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 yinttis odiza; maachchapp yelintteezitay ganccepp Waannisapp aadhizay baaya. Xooss kaatetititha ubbapp xiqqizay, E ubbappi damma maaqqoda» yeegeeza.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.”

29Hara attozin, Yesuusa qaala si7eez qaraxe gachizitayinnee as ubbay Waannisa kushe xammaqqintteezitay Xoossay geesh maaqqiza qoncciseeza.All the people who heard this, even the tax collectors, acknowledged God’s justice. For they had received the baptism of John.

30Zin farasaawitayinnee higge asitamaaritay Waannisa kushe xammaqinttaam ixxii Xooss qofa leqqeeza.But the Pharisees and experts in the law rejected God’s purpose for themselves, because they had not been baptized by John.

31Yesuusa maaqqii yhay garkke yeegeeza: «Yikkee, yha wode yeletitha abar aazisode? Unttikka oona aazee?“To what, then, can I compare the men of this generation? What are they like?

32Gabe gancce bettii woli xeegii, ‹Nu yinttis impillitte puggin, yi yexxooya. Nu sabbii zelalin, yi yeekkooya› yeegiz na7ita aaziza.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.’

33Xammaqiza Waannisa soollo meekazarannee woyine uzhekazar yi7in, ‹Iita ayyanayir yeza yi geeza.›For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon!’

34As Na7ay miitarannee uzhittar yi7in, yha athay ‹Zhinbaraannee ushshii dosiza, qaraxe gachchisizitannee nagara oothizittay dabbo› geeza.The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look at this glutton and drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’

35Eccetithii turo maaqqizay fa na7atira erinttiza» yeegeeza.But wisdom is vindicated by all her children.”

36Ferisaawitaypp Pettay Yesuusa katha muzodayis fa kara xeegeeza. E Ferisaaway kara yhanigii leematel afa betteeza.Then one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to eat with him, and He entered the Pharisee’s house and reclined at the table.

37Ye katama gancce pettii nagaranchcho maachchi yezana Yesuusa Ferisaaway kara sibirel afa yezana si7eez wode lo7ithii al7o albasxirosa bilggaaxe shitto ekkii ye7eeza.When a sinful woman from that town learned that Jesus was dining there, she brought an alabaster jar of perfume.

38Yesuusas guye baggar, e tokay kale eqqii yeekkittar e toka fa aafuthar laakitheeza. Fa binanayir e toka uccittarannee yeerittar shitto tizheeza.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.

39Sibirana maakez Ferisaaway yeya bi7ii fa wozinar, «Yhayi nabe maaqqeezako yha asita eza bochchizanna oonazako ma iza waafa nagaranchcho maaqqeezako E erodazin» yeegeeza.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!”

40Yesuusa, «Simoona, ta neesi odiza baz yeza» yeegeeza. E, «Asitamaarayyo, taas odoba» yeegeeza.But Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” “Tell me, Teacher,” he said.

41Yesuusa eziko, «Nam77ii asay peetii athaypp miishe tali7eeza. Pettay ichchin xeet dinnare yhankkay ma ishatam dinnare tali7eeza.“Two men were debtors to a certain moneylender. One owed him five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.

42Nam7itaykka tali7e ciggodayis gaminttin, nam7tayiskka tali7eezana maareeza. Yikkee, yha nam7itaypp ye atha lo7ithii dosoday nees aaya aazee» yeegeeza.When they were unable to repay him, he forgave both of them. Which one, then, will love him more?”

43Simoona, «Gaame aco maarintteez athay gaame qadhdhoda aaziza» yeegeeza. Yesuusa, «Ne tuma pirddeeza» yeegeeza.“I suppose the one who was forgiven more,” Simon replied. “You have judged correctly,” Jesus said.

44Yeyppe guye, Yesuusa asttiko maaqqii bi7ii, Simoonako, «Yhanno astto ne bi7inee? Taanii ne kara gelin hara attin ne taas toke haath inggekkaya, Zin iza ta toka fa aafuthar laakithii fa binanayir ucceeza.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.

45Ne tana yeerii ekkekkaya, Zin iza ta ne kara geleezaypp aykkii ta toke yeero ashshekkaya.You did not greet Me with a kiss, but she has not stopped kissing My feet since I arrived.

46Neenii ta ommayil zayite tizhekkaya, Zin iza ta toka shitto tizheeza.You did not anoint My head with oil, but she has anointed My feet with perfume.

47Iza tana gaame qadhdheez gishos I gaame nagaray atto ginttintteeza. E xiqqa nagaray atto giinttintteezay xiqqal qadhdheeza.»Therefore I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven, for she has loved much. But he who has been forgiven little loves little.”

48Yesuusa asitiko, «Ne nagaray atto ginttintteeza» yeegeeza.Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”

49Ezar wolla bettii miizitay, «Nagara atto yeegizay, E yhayi oonoo?» yeegii fa wozinar qoppeeza.But those at the table began to say to themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”

50Yesuusa asitiko, «Ne ammanay nena ashsheeza; saro qitoba» yeegeeza.And Jesus told the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”
