John the Baptist in Prison

Herod has thrown John the Baptist into prison. Messengers come to him in the prison. They relay to him all that Jesus has been doing. Specifically, they tell him about a funeral procession where Jesus sees the widow who has lost her son. His heart fills with compassion. He tells the young man to get up! The son rises from the dead and goes back with his mother. After hearing this, John asks them to go ask Jesus if He's the Messiah, or if they should expect someone else. The messengers arrive where Jesus is sleeping and ask Him what John wants to know.

Luqaasa 7:11-23

Guutha wodepe guye Yesuusi Nayne katamaa bis. Iya tamaaretaranne hara daro asati iyara bidosona. I katamaa gelana haniya wode aha tookida daro asati katamaape keyoosona. Hayqida na7ay ba aayes issuwa, iyaka am7o gidada de7awusu. Katama asaape daroti iira de7oosona. Goday iyo be7ida wode qadhetidi, “Yeekofa” yaagis. Shiiqidi hala bochin tookida asati eqidosona. Yesuusi, “La, yalagaw denda” yaagis. Hayqidaysi dendi uttidi oda oykis. Yesuusi na7aa ekidi aayes immis. Asa ubbay yashetidi, “Gita nabey nu giddon dendis; Xoossay ba asaa be7is” yaagidi Xoossaa galatidosona. Iya sunthay Yihudaninne he heeran de7iya biitta ubban si7etis. Xammaqiya Yohaanisa tamaareti hessa ubbaa Yohaanisas odidosona. I enta giddofe nam7ata xeegidi, “Yaana geetetiday neneyee? Woyko haraa naagino?” yaagidi oychite gidi Godaako kiittis. Asati “Yesuusako bidi, Xammaqiya Yohaanisi, ‘Yaana geetetiday neneyee? Woyko haraa naagino?’ giite gidi nuna neeko kiittis” yaagidosona. He saatenka Yesuusi daro asaa hargiyafe pathis. Tuna ayyaanata kessis, qooqida ayfiyaka xeelisis. Yohaanisa matape kiitetidi yidaysatako, “Bidi hinte be7idaysanne si7idaysa Yohaanisas odite. Ayfe qooqeti xeelloosona, gundati birshetidi hemetoosona, baro harganchoti geeyosona, tulleti si7oosona, hayqidaysati hayqope dendoosona, manqotas Wongelay sabbaketees. Tanan dhubetonna oonika anjetidaysa.”
