¹Now when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entered into Capernaum.

¹ቃሉን ሁሉ በሕዝብ ጆሮዎች በጨረሰ ጊዜ ወደ ቅፍርናሆም ገባ።

²And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear unto him, was sick, and ready to die.

²አንድ የመቶ አለቃም ነበረ፤ የሚወደውም ባሪያው ታሞ ሊሞት ቀርቦ ነበር።

³And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant.

³ስለ ኢየሱስም በሰማ ጊዜ የአይሁድን ሽማግሎች ወደ እርሱ ላከና መጥቶ ባሪያውን እንዲያድን ለመነው።

⁴And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this:

⁴እነርሱም ወደ ኢየሱስ መጥተው። ይህን ልታደርግለት ይገባዋል፤

⁵For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue.

⁵ሕዝባችንን ይወዳልና ምኵራብም ራሱ ሠርቶልናል ብለው አጽንተው ለመኑት።

⁶Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof:

⁶ኢየሱስም ከእነርሱ ጋር ሄደ። አሁንም ወደ ቤቱ በቀረበ ጊዜ የመቶው አለቃ ወዳጆቹን ወደ እርሱ ላከ፤ አለውም። ጌታ ሆይ በቤቴ ጣራ በታች ልትገባ አይገባኝምና አትድከም፤

⁷Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed.

⁷ስለዚህም ወደ አንተ ልመጣ እንዲገባኝ ሰውነቴን አልቈጠርሁትም፤ ነገር ግን ቃል ተናገር፥ ብላቴናዬም ይፈወሳል።

⁸For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.

⁸እኔ ደግሞ ከሌሎች በታች የምገዛ ሰው ነኝ፥ ከእኔም በታች ወታደሮች አሉኝ፥ አንዱንም። ሂድ ብለው ይሄዳል፥ ሌላውንም። ና ብለው ይመጣል፥ ባሪያዬንም። ይህን አድርግ ብለው ያደርጋል።

⁹When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned him about, and said unto the people that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.

⁹ኢየሱስም ይህን ሰምቶ በእርሱ ተደነቀ፥ ዘወርም ብሎ ለተከተሉት ሕዝብ። እላችኋለሁ፥ በእስራኤልስ እንኳ እንዲህ ያለ ትልቅ እምነት አላገኘሁም አላቸው።

¹⁰And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole that had been sick.

¹⁰የተላኩትም ወደ ቤት ተመልሰው ባሪያውን ባለ ጤና ሆኖ አገኙት።

¹¹And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and much people.

¹¹በነገውም ናይን ወደምትባል ወደ አንዲት ከተማ ሄደ፥ ደቀ መዛሙርቱም ብዙ ሕዝብም ከእርሱ ጋር አብረው ሄዱ።

¹²Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her.

¹²ወደ ከተማይቱም በር በቀረበ ጊዜ፥ እነሆ፥ የሞተ ሰው ተሸክመው አወጡ፤ እርሱም ለእናቱ አንድ ልጅ ነበረ፥ እርስዋም መበለት ነበረች፥ ብዙም የከተማ ሕዝብ ከእርስዋ ጋር አብረው ነበሩ።

¹³And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not.

¹³ጌታም ባያት ጊዜ አዘነላትና። አታልቅሽ አላት።

¹⁴And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.

¹⁴ቀርቦም ቃሬዛውን ነካ፥ የተሸከሙትም ቆሙ፤ አለውም። አንተ ጐበዝ፥ እልሃለሁ፥ ተነሣ።

¹⁵And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother.

¹⁵የሞተውም ቀና ብሎ ተቀመጠ ሊናገርም ጀመረ፥ ለእናቱም ሰጣት።

¹⁶And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God hath visited his people.

¹⁶ሁሉንም ፍርሃት ያዛቸውና። ታላቅ ነቢይ በእኛ መካከል ተነሥቶአል፥ ደግሞ። እግዚአብሔር ሕዝቡን ጐበኘ እያሉ እግዚአብሔርን አመሰገኑ።

¹⁷And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judaea, and throughout all the region round about.

¹⁷ይህም ዝና ስለ እርሱ በይሁዳ ሁሉ በዙሪያውም ባለች አገር ሁሉ ወጣ።

¹⁸And the disciples of John shewed him of all these things.

¹⁸ደቀ መዛሙርቱም ለዮሐንስ እነዚህን ሁሉ አወሩ።

¹⁹And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?

¹⁹ዮሐንስም ከደቀ መዛሙርቱ ሁለት ወደ እርሱ ጠርቶ። የሚመጣው አንተ ነህን ወይስ ሌላውን እንጠብቅ? ብሎ ወደ ኢየሱስ ላከ።

²⁰When the men were come unto him, they said, John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?

²⁰ሰዎቹም ወደ እርሱ መጥተው። መጥምቁ ዮሐንስ። የሚመጣው አንተ ነህን ወይስ ሌላውን እንጠብቅ? ብሎ ወደ አንተ ላከን አሉት።

²¹And in that same hour he cured many of their infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto many that were blind he gave sight.

²¹በዚያች ሰዓት ከደዌና ከሥቃይ ከክፉዎች መናፍስትም ብዙዎችን ፈወሰ፥ ለብዙ ዕውሮችም ማየትን ሰጠ።

²²Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached.

²²ኢየሱስም መልሶ። ሄዳችሁ ያያችሁትን የሰማችሁትንም ለዮሐንስ አውሩለት፤ ዕውሮች ያያሉ፥ አንካሶችም ይሄዳሉ፥ ለምጻሞችም ይነጻሉ፥ ደንቆሮዎችም ይሰማሉ፥ ሙታንም ይነሣሉ፥ ለድሆችም ወንጌል ይሰበካል፤

²³And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.

²³በእኔም የማይሰናከለው ሁሉ ብፁዕ ነው አላቸው።

²⁴And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak unto the people concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness for to see? A reed shaken with the wind?

²⁴የዮሐንስ መልክተኞችም ከሄዱ በኋላ፥ ለሕዝቡ ስለ ዮሐንስ ይናገር ጀመር እንዲህም አለ። ምን ልታዩ ወደ ምድረ በዳ ወጣችሁ? ነፋስ የሚወዘውዘውን ሸምበቆን? ወይስ ምን ልታዩ ወጣችሁ?

²⁵But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they which are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings' courts.

²⁵ቀጭን ልብስ የለበሰውን ሰውን? እነሆ፥ ጌጠኛ ልብስ የሚለብሱና በቅምጥልነት የሚኖሩ በነገሥታት ቤት አሉ።

²⁶But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.

²⁶ወይስ ምን ልታዩ ወጣችሁ? ነቢይን? አዎን እላችኋለሁ፥ ከነቢይም የሚበልጠውን።

²⁷This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.

²⁷እነሆ፥ መንገድህን በፊትህ የሚጠርግ መልክተኛዬን በፊትህ እልካለሁ ተብሎ የተጻፈለት ይህ ነው።

²⁸For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.

²⁸እላችኋለሁ፥ ከሴቶች ከተወለዱት መካከል ከመጥምቁ ዮሐንስ የሚበልጥ ማንም የለም፤ በእግዚአብሔር መንግሥት ግን ከሁሉ የሚያንሰው ይበልጠዋል።

²⁹And all the people that heard him, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.

²⁹የሰሙትም ሕዝብ ሁሉ ቀራጮች እንኳ ሳይቀሩ በዮሐንስ ጥምቀት ተጠምቀው እግዚአብሔርን አጸደቁ፤

³⁰But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized of him.

³⁰ፈሪሳውያንና ሕግ አዋቂዎች ግን በእርሱ ስለ አልተጠመቁ የእግዚአብሔርን ምክር ከራሳቸው ጣሉ።

³¹And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like?

³¹እንግዲህ የዚችን ትውልድ ሰዎች በምን አስመስላቸዋለሁ? ማንንስ ይመስላሉ?

³²They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept.

³²በገበያ የሚቀመጡትን ልጆች ይመስላሉ፥ እርስ በርሳቸውም እየተጠራሩ። እንቢልታ ነፋንላችሁ አልዘፈናችሁምም፤ ሙሾ አወጣንላችሁ አላለቀሳችሁምም ይላል።

³³For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil.

³³መጥምቁ ዮሐንስ እንጀራ ሳይበላ የወይን ጠጅም ሳይጠጣ መጥቶ ነበርና። ጋኔን አለበት አላችሁት።

³⁴The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!

³⁴የሰው ልጅ እየበላና እየጠጣ መጥቶአልና። እነሆ፥ በላተኛና የወይን ጠጅ ጠጭ፥ የቀራጮችና የኃጢአተኞች ወዳጅ አላችሁት።

³⁵But wisdom is justified of all her children.

³⁵ጥበብም ለልጆችዋ ሁሉ ጸደቀች።

³⁶And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat.

³⁶ከፈሪሳውያንም አንድ ከእርሱ ጋር ይበላ ዘንድ ለመነው፤ በፈሪሳዊው ቤትም ገብቶ በማዕድ ተቀመጠ።

³⁷And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment,

³⁷እነሆም በዚያች ከተማ ኃጢአተኛ የነበረች አንዲት ሴት፤ በፈሪሳዊው ቤት በማዕድ እንደ ተቀመጠ ባወቀች ጊዜ፥ ሽቱ የሞላበት የአልባስጥሮስ ቢልቃጥ አመጣች።

³⁸And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.

³⁸በስተ ኋላውም በእግሩ አጠገብ ቆማ እያለቀሰች በእንባዋ እግሩን ታርስ ጀመረች፥ በራስ ጠጕርዋም ታብሰው እግሩንም ትስመው ሽቱም ትቀባው ነበረች።

³⁹Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner.

³⁹የጠራው ፈሪሳዊም አይቶ። ይህስ ነቢይ ቢሆን፥ ይህች የምትዳስሰው ሴት ማን እንደ ሆነች እንዴትስ እንደ ነበረች ባወቀ ነበር፥ ኃጢአተኛ ናትና ብሎ በልቡ አሰበ።

⁴⁰And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on.

⁴⁰ኢየሱስም መልሶ። ስምዖን ሆይ፥ የምነግርህ ነገር አለኝ አለው። እርሱም። መምህር ሆይ፥ ተናገር አለ።

⁴¹There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.

⁴¹ለአንድ አበዳሪ ሁለት ተበዳሪዎች ነበሩት በአንዱ አምስት መቶ ዲናር ነበረበት በሁለተኛውም አምሳ።

⁴²And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?

⁴²የሚከፍሉትም ቢያጡ ለሁለቱም ተወላቸው። እንግዲህ ከእነርሱ አብልጦ የሚወደው ማንኛው ነው?

⁴³Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.

⁴³ስምዖንም መልሶ። ብዙ የተወለቱ ይመስለኛል አለ። እርሱም። በእውነት ፈረድህ አለው።

⁴⁴And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.

⁴⁴ወደ ሴቲቱም ዘወር ብሎ ስምዖንን እንዲህ አለው። ይህችን ሴት ታያለህን? እኔ ወደ ቤትህ ገባሁ፥ ውኃ ስንኳ ለእግሬ አላቀረብህልኝም፤ እርስዋ ግን በእንባዋ እግሬን አራሰች በጠጕርዋም አበሰች።

⁴⁵Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet.

⁴⁵አንተ አልሳምኸኝም፤ እርስዋ ግን ከገባሁ ጀምራ እግሬን ከመሳም አላቋረጠችም።

⁴⁶My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment.

⁴⁶አንተ ራሴን ዘይት አልቀባኸኝም፤ እርስዋ ግን እግሬን ሽቱ ቀባች።

⁴⁷Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.

⁴⁷ስለዚህ እልሃለሁ፥ እጅግ ወዳለችና ብዙ ያለው ኃጢአትዋ ተሰርዮላታል፤ ጥቂት ግን የሚሰረይለት ጥቂት ይወዳል።

⁴⁸And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.

⁴⁸እርስዋንም። ኃጢአትሽ ተሰርዮልሻል አላት።

⁴⁹And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?

⁴⁹ከእርሱም ጋር በማዕድ ተቀምጠው የነበሩት በልባቸው። ኃጢአትን እንኳ የሚያስተሰርይ ይህ ማን ነው? ይሉ ጀመር።

⁵⁰And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.

⁵⁰ሴቲቱንም። እምነትሽ አድኖሻል፤ በሰላም ሂጂ አላት።
