¹There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.

¹በዚያን ጊዜም ሰዎች መጥተው ጲላጦስ ደማቸውን ከመሥዋዕታቸው ጋር ስላደባለቀው ስለ ገሊላ ሰዎች አወሩለት።

²And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things?

²ኢየሱስም መልሶ እንዲህ አላቸው። እነዚህ የገሊላ ሰዎች ይህ ስለ ደረሰባቸው ከገሊላ ሰዎች ሁሉ ይልቅ ኃጢአተኞች የሆኑ ይመስሉአችኋልን?

³I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

³እላችኋለሁ፥ አይደለም፤ ነገር ግን ንስሐ ባትገቡ ሁላችሁ እንዲሁ ትጠፋላችሁ።

⁴Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?

⁴ወይስ በሰሌሆም ግንቡ የወደቀባቸውና የገደላቸው እነዚያ አሥራ ስምንት ሰዎች በኢየሩሳሌም ከሚኖሩት ሁሉ ይልቅ በደለኞች ይመስሉአችኋልን? አይደለም፥ እላችኋለሁ፤

⁵I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

⁵ነገር ግን ንስሐ ባትገቡ ሁላችሁ እንደዚሁ ትጠፋላችሁ።

⁶He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none.

⁶ይህንም ምሳሌ አለ። ለአንድ ሰው በወይኑ አትክልት የተተከለች በለስ ነበረችው፥ ፍሬም ሊፈልግባት መጥቶ ምንም አላገኘም።

⁷Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?

⁷የወይን አትክልት ሠራተኛውንም። እነሆ፥ ከዚህች በለስ ፍሬ ልፈልግ ሦስት ዓመት እየመጣሁ ምንም አላገኘሁም፤ ቍረጣት፤ ስለ ምን ደግሞ መሬቱን ታጐሳቍላለች? አለው።

⁸And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it:

⁸እርሱ ግን መልሶ። ጌታ ሆይ፥ ዙሪያዋን እስክኰተኵትላትና ፋንድያ እስካፈስላት ድረስ በዚች ዓመት ደግሞ ተዋት።

⁹And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.

⁹ወደ ፊትም ብታፈራ፥ ደኅና ነው፤ ያለዚያ ግን ትቈርጣታለህ አለው።

¹⁰And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.

¹⁰በሰንበትም በአንድ ምኵራብ ያስተምር ነበር።

¹¹And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself.

¹¹እነሆም፥ ከአሥራ ስምንት ዓመት ጀምሮ የድካም መንፈስ ያደረባት ሴት ነበረች፥ እርስዋም ጐባጣ ነበረች ቀንታም ልትቆም ከቶ አልተቻላትም።

¹²And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.

¹²ኢየሱስም ባያት ጊዜ ጠራትና። አንቺ ሴት፥ ከድካምሽ ተፈትተሻል አላት፥ እጁንም ጫነባት፤

¹³And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.

¹³ያን ጊዜም ቀጥ አለች፥ እግዚአብሔርንም አመሰገነች።

¹⁴And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day.

¹⁴የምኵራብ አለቃ ግን ኢየሱስ በሰንበት ስለ ፈወሰ ተቈጥቶ መለሰና ሕዝቡን። ሊሠራባቸው የሚገባ ስድስት ቀኖች አሉ፤ እንግዲህ በእነርሱ መጥታችሁ ተፈወሱ እንጂ በሰንበት አይደለም አለ።

¹⁵The Lord then answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering?

¹⁵ጌታም መልሶ። እናንተ ግብዞች፥ ከእናንተ እያንዳንዱ በሰንበት በሬውን ወይስ አህያውን ከግርግሙ ፈትቶ ውኃ ሊያጠጣው ይወስደው የለምን?

¹⁶And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?

¹⁶ይህችም የአብርሃም ልጅ ሆና ከአሥራ ስምንት ዓመት ጀምሮ ሰይጣን ያሰራት በሰንበት ቀን ከዚህ እስራት ልትፈታ አይገባምን? አለው።

¹⁷And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.

¹⁷ይህንም ሲናገር ሳለ የተቃወሙት ሁሉ አፈሩ፤ ከእርሱም በተደረገው ድንቅ ሁሉ ሕዝቡ ሁሉ ደስ አላቸው።

¹⁸Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I resemble it?

¹⁸እርሱም። የእግዚአብሔር መንግሥት ምን ትመስላለች፥ በምንስ አስመስላታለሁ?

¹⁹It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.

¹⁹ሰው ወስዶ በአትክልቱ የጣላትን የሰናፍጭ ቅንጣት ትመስላለች፤ አደገችም ታላቅ ዛፍም ሆነች፥ የሰማይ ወፎችም በቅርንጫፎችዋ ሰፈሩ አለ።

²⁰And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God?

²⁰ደግሞም፥ የእግዚአብሔርን መንግሥት በምን አስመስላታለሁ?

²¹It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.

²¹ሴት ወስዳ ሁሉ እስኪቦካ ድረስ በሦስት መስፈሪያ ዱቄት የሸሸገችውን እርሾ ትመስላለች አለ።

²²And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem.

²²ወደ ኢየሩሳሌም ሲሄድ ከተማዎችንና መንደሮችን እያስተማረ ያልፍ ነበር።

²³Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them,

²³አንድ ሰውም። ጌታ ሆይ፥ የሚድኑ ጥቂቶች ናቸውን? አለው። እርሱም እንዲህ አላቸው።

²⁴Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.

²⁴በጠበበው በር ለመግባት ተጋደሉ፤ እላችኋለሁና፥ ብዙዎች ሊገቡ ይፈልጋሉ አይችሉምም።

²⁵When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:

²⁵ባለቤቱ ተነሥቶ በሩን ከቈለፈ በኋላ፥ እናንተ በውጭ ቆማችሁ። ጌታ ሆይ፥ ጌታ ሆይ፥ ክፈትልን እያላችሁ በሩን ልታንኳኩ ትጀምራላችሁ እርሱም መልሶ። ከወዴት እንደ ሆናችሁ አላውቃችሁም ይላችኋል።

²⁶Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.

²⁶በዚያን ጊዜም። በፊትህ በላን ጠጣንም በአደባባያችንም አስተማርህ ልትሉ ትጀምራላችሁ፤

²⁷But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.

²⁷እርሱም። እላችኋለሁ፥ ከወዴት እንደ ሆናችሁ አላውቃችሁም፤ ሁላችሁ ዓመፀኞች፥ ከእኔ ራቁ ይላችኋል።

²⁸There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.

²⁸አብርሃምንና ይስሐቅን ያዕቆብንም ነቢያትንም ሁሉ በእግዚአብሔር መንግሥት ባያችሁ ጊዜ፥ እናንተ ግን ወደ ውጭ ተጥላችሁ ስትቀሩ፥ በዚያ ልቅሶና ጥርስ ማፋጨት ይሆናል።

²⁹And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God.

²⁹ከምሥራቅና ከምዕራብም ከሰሜንና ከደቡብም ይመጣሉ፥ በእግዚአብሔርም መንግሥት በማዕድ ይቀመጣሉ።

³⁰And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last.

³⁰እነሆም፥ ከኋለኞች ፊተኞች የሚሆኑ አሉ፥ ከፊተኞችም ኋለኞች የሚሆኑ አሉ።

³¹The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying unto him, Get thee out, and depart hence: for Herod will kill thee.

³¹በዚያን ሰዓት ከፈሪሳውያን አንዳንዱ ቀርበው። ሄሮድስ ሊገድልህ ይወዳልና ከዚህ ውጣና ሂድ አሉት።

³²And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third day I shall be perfected.

³²እንዲህም አላቸው። ሄዳችሁ ለዚያች ቀበሮ። እነሆ፥ ዛሬና ነገ አጋንንትን አወጣለሁ በሽተኞችንም እፈውሳለሁ፥ በሦስተኛውም ቀን እፈጸማለሁ በሉአት።

³³Nevertheless I must walk to day, and to morrow, and the day following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem.

³³ዳሩ ግን ነቢይ ከኢየሩሳሌም ውጭ ይጠፋ ዘንድ አይገባውምና ዛሬና ነገ ከነገ በስቲያም ልሄድ ያስፈልገኛል።

³⁴O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not!

³⁴ኢየሩሳሌም፥ ኢየሩሳሌም፥ ነቢያትን የምትገድል ወደ እርስዋ የተላኩትንም የምትወግር፥ ዶሮ ጫጩቶችዋን በክንፎችዋ በታች እንደምትሰበስብ ልጆችሽን እሰበስብ ዘንድ ስንት ጊዜ ወደድሁ፥ እናንተም አልወደዳችሁም።

³⁵Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

³⁵እነሆ፥ ቤታችሁ የተፈታ ሆኖ ይቀርላችኋል። እላችኋለሁም፥ በጌታ ስም የሚመጣ የተባረከ ነው እስክትሉ ድረስ ከእንግዲህ ወዲህ አታዩኝም።
