Mark 12 (MFXL) · Opened

1Yesuusa unttis aazisor yeegii oda aykkeeza; «pettii athay woyine mithii tukkii, yuushsha gaseeza. Ma woyine buulliz ollakka bookkeeza. Naagodayis aduss shaakko shakkiseeza. Yeypp guye, mattaye yhanttiz asayis ingii, hara biitta qiteeza.Then Jesus began to speak to them in parables: “A man planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a wine vat, and built a watchtower. Then he rented it out to some tenants and went away on a journey.

2Woyine aafe maxiza wode hellin, fana hellizana ekkii ye7odgarkk, pettii fa aylla mattaye ekkeezitayiko azazeeza.At harvest time, he sent a servant to the tenants to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard.

3Mattaye ekkeezitay e aylla aykkii yhadhdhii, kallo kushe dakkeeza.But they seized the servant, beat him, and sent him away empty-handed.

4Nam7antho hara aylle unttiko kiittin, unttii ye aylla shuchchar qawuxii yeellathii dakkeeza.Then he sent them another servant, and they struck him over the head and treated him shamefully.

5Woyine atakiltte goday maakka hara aylle azazeeza. Ya aylla wodheeza, ma hara gaamita dakkin yey garkk, petta petta yhadhdhii, baggita wodheeza.He sent still another, and this one they killed. He sent many others; some they beat and others they killed.

6«Woyine atakiltte godayis kiittodayis ubbapp wurssithal e lo7ithii qadhdhiza na7ay aadda atteeza. E, ‹U ta na7a bonchchekka ashshaamii› yeegii, fa na7a unttiko azazeeza.Finally, having one beloved son, he sent him to them. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said.

7«Zin mattaye ekkeezitay fa ganccer, ‹Laattoday yhaya; yedhdhoytta eza wolla wodhoda; e gaday nuus maaqqoda!› yeegeeza.But the tenants said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’

8Na7a aykkii wodhii, e aha woyine atakiltte ganccepp gaxa kessii oleeza.So they seized the son, killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.

9«Yikkee, woyine atakiltte goday wayssadee? Yi7ii ye mattaye ekkeezita wodhii, woyina oothiza hara asayis immada.What then will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and kill those tenants and give the vineyard to others.

10« ‹Gimbbizitay borii ixxeez shuchchay keeth muumer tookkiza kirkiro garkk; ubbapp aadhiz shuchch maaqqeeza. Yhay Goday ootheez bazi; ma nu aafayiskka mala bazi› Yeegizana geeshsha Maxaafepp nabbabekasa?» yeegeeza.Have you never read this Scripture: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.

12Qeese halaqitay, higge asitamaaritaynnee cimitay Yesuusa ye aazisa u faal afa aaziseezana ereez gishos eza aykkodayis koyeeza, zin asayis yashittii, ashshii qiteeza.At this, the leaders sought to arrest Jesus, for they knew that He had spoken this parable against them. But fearing the crowd, they left Him and went away.

13Farasaawitayppennee Herodoosa baggitaypp xiqqa asitay e odaypp buuta denggii, eza aykkodayis koyii, eziko azazeeza.Later, they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to catch Jesus in His words.

14U eziko yi7ii, «Asitamaarayyo, ne turo odinttizannee asapp ase shagoozana nu eriza. Ne ase shagooya; ma Xooss oge tumar taamarssiza. Nu Oroome biitta Kaat Qeesaares giira gachchizay woganee woga baasa? Giira gachchonnee ashsho?» yeegeeza.“Teacher,” they said, “we know that You are honest and seek favor from no one. Indeed, You are impartial and teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not? Should we pay them or not?”

15Zin u cubbotitha Yesuusa erii, «Tana abis faaccodayis koyee? An pettii santte yhana ki7ii tana beezoytta» yeegeeza.But Jesus saw through their hypocrisy and said, “Why are you testing Me? Bring Me a denarius to inspect.”

16Unttii ezisi ke7eeza, «Yha mallaynnee sunthay ooso?» yeegii unttan oyceeza. Unttii, «Qeesaares» yeegeeza.So they brought it, and He asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?” “Caesar’s,” they answered.

17Yesuusa mahii, «Yeezako, Qeesaareesana Qeesaares, Xoossiisa Xoossis inggoytta» yeegin u e oda yhay mala bazi geeza.Then Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.” And they marveled at Him.

18Yhayqqeez asii dendooya giz Saduqaawitaypp pettii pettii asay Yesuusako yi7ii, yhay garkk yeegii, eza oyceeza.Then the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus and questioned Him:

19«Asitamaarayyo, Muse nuus higge xaafittar, ‹Machcho ekkeez athay na7a yelekka yhayqqiko, ye yhayqqeezayis ishay e machchato ekkii, fa ishayis na7a yelodayis beeziza› yeegizana xaafeeza.“Teacher, 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.

20Binii wode laappun ishitay yezitaypp bayray machcho ekkii, na7a yelekkazar yhayqqeeza.Now there were seven brothers. The first one married and died, leaving no children.

21Nam7inthay izo ekkeeza, ezkka na7a yelekkazar yhayqqeeza. Hayidzinthaykka yey garkk haneeza.Then the second one married the widow, but he also died and left no children. And the third did likewise.

22Laappunitaykka yeyigarkk izo ekkii, na7a yelekkazar yhayqqeeza. Ubbapp guye, ma ye asitakka yhayqqeeza.In this way, none of the seven left any children. And last of all, the woman died.

23Yeezin, laappunitay izo ekkeez gishos yhayqqeez asay yhayiqopp dendiza gallas, iza unttapp aayayis machcho maaqqode?» yeegeeza.In the resurrection, then, whose wife will she be? For all seven were married to her.”

24Yesuusa mahii, «Yi balinttizay, geeshsha Maxaafita woy Xooss wolqqa erekka gishos baasa?Jesus said to them, “Aren’t you mistaken, because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God?

25Yhayqqeez asay yhayiqopp dendiza gallas, salo yez kiitanchchitay garkk maaqqodaypp attin dhiirathi asay ekkooya; maachii asitay gelooya.When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage. Instead, they will be like the angels in heaven.

26Zin yhayqqeezitay dendo bagga maaqqiko, Xoossii Museko tusha gancce eexiz tamapp waageezako Muse maxaafaypp nabbabekkasa? Yeykka ‹Taanii, Afraame Xoossii, Isaaqa Xoossii, Yayqqooba Xoossii› yeegeezayaBut concerning the dead rising, have you not read about the burning bush in the Book of Moses, how God told him, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’?

27Yey gishos, e, path yezitay Xoossapp attin yhayqqeezitay Xooss baaya. Yi aqopp aadhii balinttiza» yeegeeza.He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are badly mistaken!”

28Higge asitamaaritaypp pettay u palamizana shiiqii si7eeza. Ma Yesuusa unttis lo7ithii maheezana si7ii, «Kiita ubbapp aadhiz kiitay aaya?» yeegii Yesuusana oyceeza.Now one of the scribes had come up and heard their debate. Noticing how well Jesus had answered them, he asked Him, “Which commandment is the most important of all?”

29Yesuusa mahii, eziko yhay garkk yeegeeza: «Kiita ubbapp aadhiz kiita si7oytta; ‹Isreele asayis, Goday nu Xoossay pettii Goda.Jesus replied, “This is the most important: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One.

30Ne Goda ne Xoossa ne kunth wozinapp, ne kunth shemppopp, ne kunth qofapp, ne kunth wolqqapp qadhdhoba› yeegeeza.Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’

31Ma kiita ubbapp aadhiz nam7intho kiitay yhaya; ‹Ne lagga ne ubbay garkk qadhdhoba› yeegiza; yhayttitaypp aadhiz hara kiita baaya» yeegeeza.The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these.”

32Higge asitamaaray Yesuusako, «Asitamaarayyo; ‹Xoossay petto. Ezapp attin hara baaya› ne geezay turo.“Right, Teacher,” the scribe replied. “You have stated correctly that God is One and there is no other but Him,

33Xoossa kunth wozinapp, kunth qofappennee kunth wolqqapp qadhdhizaynnee ma as ubba fa ubbay garkk qadhdhizay xuuggiz yarshshoppennee hara yarshsho ubbaypp aadhiza» yeegeeza.and to love Him with all your heart and with all your understanding and with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself. This is more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.”

34Yesuusa higge asitamaaray mahithay aadho era as malisse maaqqeezana bi7ii, «Ne Xooss kaatetithapp haakkekkaya» yeegeeza; yeypp guye, Yesuusana hara baz oycodayis oonkka minggekkaya.When Jesus saw that the man had answered wisely, He said, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” And no one dared to question Him any further.

35Yesuusa Xooss Keetha tamaarssittar, yhay garkk yeegeeza: «Higge asitamaaritay Kiristtoosa waagii fana Dawute na7a gee?While Jesus was teaching in the temple courts, He asked, “How can the scribes say that the Christ is the Son of David?

36Dawute geesha Ayyana denthithin, « ‹Goday, ta Godayiko, «Taanii ne morkkita ne toke yedhdhiz aqo udod gatho, yhaydda ta ushachcha bettoba» geeza yeegeeza.Speaking by the Holy Spirit, David himself declared: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand until I put Your enemies under Your feet.”’

37Dawute fa ubbas Kiristtoosana, «Goda gi xeegiko, yeezin, Kiristtoosa wayizii, Dawute na7a maaqqee» yeegeeza. Woyay Yesuusa gizana ufayttii si7eeza.David himself calls Him ‘Lord.’ So how can He be David’s son?” And the large crowd listened to Him with delight.

38Yesuusa tamaarssittar, yhay garkk yeegeeza: «Higge asitamaaritaypp naaginttoytta; u aduss afila ma77ii yuuyizitannee gabellakka asay unttan bonchchii sarothizana dosiza.In His teaching Jesus also said, “Watch out for the scribes. They like to walk around in long robes, to receive greetings in the marketplaces,

39Unttii Ayihuditay Woosa keetha gaame lo77o oyde dosiza; maakka asii fana mokkiza aqokka bonchcho aqo dosiza.and to have the chief seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets.

40U asii be7o gi woosa adussisttar, am7itay keetha bonqqiza; u ubbapp aadhiz pirdda ekkoda» yeegeeza.They defraud widows of their houses, and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will receive greater condemnation.”

41Yesuusa Xooss Keeth gancce muxaata oliza saaxine kale bettii, asay fa miisha ye saaxinayid olizana be7eeza; gaame dure asay gaame miishe ye saaxinate oliza.As Jesus was sitting opposite the treasury, He watched the crowd putting money into it. And many rich people put in large amounts.

42Pettii manqqo am7at yi7ii, nam77ii sikkinna ye saaxintte oleeza.Then one poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which amounted to a small fraction of a denarius.

43Yesuusa fa taamarita xeegii, «Ta yinttis turo odiza; muxaata saaxine gancce oleez as ubbapp yha manqqo am7at aathii oleeza.Jesus called His disciples to Him and said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more than all the others into the treasury.

44Abis giiko, yhankkitay ubbitay paas puceez miishaypp oleeza. Zin iza fa pacatipp, paas yezanno ubbar oleeza» yeegeeza.For they all contributed out of their surplus, but she out of her poverty has put in all she had to live on.”
