¹Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.

¹አሥራ ሁለቱንም ሐዋርያት በአንድነት ወደ እርሱ ጠርቶ በአጋንንት ሁሉ ላይ ደዌንም ይፈውሱ ዘንድ ኃይልና ሥልጣን ሰጣቸው፤

²And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.

²የእግዚአብሔርንም መንግሥት እንዲሰብኩና ድውዮችን እንዲፈውሱ ላካቸው፥

³And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece.

³እንዲህም አላቸው። በትርም ቢሆን፥ ከረጢትም ቢሆን፥ እንጀራም ቢሆን፥ ብርም ቢሆን ለመንገድ ምንም አትያዙ፥ ሁለት እጀ ጠባብም አይሁንላችሁ።

⁴And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence depart.

⁴በማናቸውም በምትገቡበት ቤት በዚያ ተቀመጡ ከዚያም ውጡ።

⁵And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.

⁵ማናቸውም የማይቀበሉአችሁ ቢሆኑ፥ ከዚያ ከተማ ወጥታችሁ ምስክር እንዲሆንባቸው ከእግራችሁ ትቢያ አራግፉ።

⁶And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where.

⁶ወጥተውም ወንጌልን እየሰበኩና በስፍራው ሁሉ እየፈወሱ በየመንደሩ ያልፉ ነበር።

⁷Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him: and he was perplexed, because that it was said of some, that John was risen from the dead;

⁷የአራተኛው ክፍል ገዥ ሄሮድስም የተደረገውን ነገር ሁሉ ሰምቶ፥ አንዳንድ ሰዎች።

⁸And of some, that Elias had appeared; and of others, that one of the old prophets was risen again.

⁸ዮሐንስ ከሙታን ተነሣ፥ ሌሎችም። ኤልያስ ተገለጠ፥ ሌሎችም። ከቀደሙት ነቢያት አንዱ ተነሥቶአል ይሉ ስለ ነበሩ አመነታ።

⁹And Herod said, John have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see him.

⁹ሄሮድስም። ዮሐንስንስ እኔ ራሱን አስቈረጥሁት፤ ይህ እንዲህ ያለ ነገር የምሰማበት ማን ነው? አለ። ሊያየውም ይሻ ነበር።

¹⁰And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all that they had done. And he took them, and went aside privately into a desert place belonging to the city called Bethsaida.

¹⁰ሐዋርያትም ተመልሰው ያደረጉትን ሁሉ ነገሩት። ከእርሱ ጋርም ወስዶአቸው ቤተ ሳይዳ ከምትባል ከተማ አጠገብ ወደ ምድረ በዳ ለብቻው ፈቀቅ አለ።

¹¹And the people, when they knew it, followed him: and he received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing.

¹¹ሕዝቡም አውቀው ተከተሉት፤ ተቀብሎአቸውም ስለ እግዚአብሔር መንግሥት ይነግራቸው ነበር፥ መፈወስ ያስፈለጋቸውንም ፈወሳቸው።

¹²And when the day began to wear away, then came the twelve, and said unto him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the towns and country round about, and lodge, and get victuals: for we are here in a desert place.

¹²ቀኑም ይመሽ ጀመር፤ አሥራ ሁለቱም ቀርበው። በዚህ በምድረ በዳ ነንና በዙሪያችን ወዳሉ መንደሮችና ገጠሮች ሄደው እንዲያድሩና ምግብ እንዲያገኙ ሕዝቡን አሰናብት አሉት።

¹³But he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no more but five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy meat for all this people.

¹³እርሱ ግን። እናንተ የሚበሉትን ስጡአቸው አላቸው። እነርሱም። ሄደን ለዚህ ሁሉ ሕዝብ ምግብ ካልገዛን፥ ከአምስት እንጀራና ከሁለት ዓሣ የሚበልጥ የለንም አሉት፤

¹⁴For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down by fifties in a company.

¹⁴አምስት ሺህ ሰዎች ያህሉ ነበርና። ለደቀ መዛሙርቱ። በየክፍሉ አምሳ አምሳውን አስቀምጡአቸው አላቸው።

¹⁵And they did so, and made them all sit down.

¹⁵እንዲህም አደረጉ ሁሉንም አስቀመጡአቸው።

¹⁶Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and brake, and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude.

¹⁶አምስቱንም እንጀራና ሁለቱን ዓሣ ይዞ፥ ወደ ሰማይ አሻቅቦ አየና ባረካቸው ቆርሶም ለሕዝቡ እንዲያቀርቡ ለደቀ መዛርሙርቱ ሰጠ።

¹⁷And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets.

¹⁷ሁሉም በልተው ጠገቡ፥ ከእነርሱም የተረፈውን ቍርስራሽ አሥራ ሁለት መሶብ ወሰዱ።

¹⁸And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying, Whom say the people that I am?

¹⁸ለብቻውም ሲጸልይ ደቀ መዛሙርቱ ከእርሱ ጋር ነበሩና። ሕዝቡ እኔ ማን እንደ ሆንሁ ይላሉ? ብሎ ጠየቃቸው።

¹⁹They answering said, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias; and others say, that one of the old prophets is risen again.

¹⁹እነርሱም መልሰው። መጥምቁ ዮሐንስ፥ ሌሎችም። ኤልያስ፥ ሌሎችም። ከቀደሙት ነቢያት አንዱ ተነሥቶአል ይላሉ አሉት።

²⁰He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering said, The Christ of God.

²⁰እናንተስ እኔ ማን እንደ ሆንሁ ትላላችሁ? አላቸው። ጴጥሮስም መልሶ። ከእግዚአብሔር የተቀባህ ነህ አለ።

²¹And he straitly charged them, and commanded them to tell no man that thing;

²¹እርሱ ግን። የሰው ልጅ ብዙ መከራ ሊቀበል በሽማግሌዎችም በካህናት አለቆችም በጻፎችም ሊጣል ሊገደልም በሦስተኛውም ቀን ሊነሣ ይገባዋል ብሎ ለማንም ይህን እንዳይናገሩ አስጠንቅቆ አዘዘ።

²²Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day.

²³ለሁሉም እንዲህ አላቸው። በኋላዬ ሊመጣ የሚወድ ቢኖር፥ ራሱን ይካድ መስቀሉንም ዕለት ዕለት ተሸክሞ ይከተለኝ።

²³And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

²⁴ነፍሱን ሊያድን የሚወድ ሁሉ ያጠፋታልና፤ ስለ እኔ ነፍሱን የሚያጠፋ ሁሉ ግን እርሱ ያድናታል።

²⁴For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.

²⁵ሰው ዓለሙን ሁሉ አትርፎ ራሱን ቢያጠፋ ወይም ቢያጐድል ምን ይጠቅመዋል?

²⁵For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?

²⁶በእኔና በቃሌ የሚያፍር ሁሉ፥ የሰው ልጅ በክብሩ በአባቱና በቅዱሳን መላእክቱ ክብርም ሲመጣ በእርሱ ያፍርበታል።

²⁶For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels.

²⁷እውነት እላችኋለሁ፥ በዚህ ከሚቆሙት ሰዎች የእግዚአብሔርን መንግሥት እስኪያዩ ድረስ ሞትን የማይቀምሱ አንዳንድ አሉ።

²⁷But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.

²⁸ከዚህም ቃል በኋላ ስምንት ቀን ያህል ቈይቶ ጴጥሮስንና ዮሐንስን ያዕቆብንም ይዞ ሊጸልይ ወደ ተራራ ወጣ።

²⁸And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray.

²⁹ሲጸልይም የፊቱ መልክ ተለወጠ፤ ልብሱም ተብለጭልጮ ነጭ ሆነ።

²⁹And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering.

³⁰እነሆም፥ ሁለት ሰዎች እነርሱም ሙሴና ኤልያስ ከእርሱ ጋር ይነጋገሩ ነበር፤

³⁰And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias:

³¹በክብርም ታይተው በኢየሩሳሌም ሊፈጽም ስላለው ስለ መውጣቱ ይናገሩ ነበር።

³¹Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem.

³²ነገር ግን ጴጥሮስንና ከእርሱ ጋር የነበሩት እንቅልፍ ከበደባቸው፤ ነቅተው ግን ክብሩንና ከእርሱ ጋር ቆመው የነበሩትን ሁለት ሰዎች አዩ።

³²But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: and when they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.

³³ከእርሱም ሲለዩ ጴጥሮስ ኢየሱስን። አቤቱ፥ በዚህ መሆን ለእኛ መልካም ነውና አንድ ለአንተ አንድም ለሙሴ አንድም ለኤልያስ ሦስት ዳሶች እንሥራ አለው፤ የሚለውንም አያውቅም ነበር።

³³And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias: not knowing what he said.

³⁴ይህንም ሲናገር ደመና መጣና ጋረዳቸው፤ ወደ ደመናውም ሲገቡ ሳሉ ፈሩ።

³⁴While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.

³⁵ከደመናውም። የመረጥሁት ልጄ ይህ ነው፥ እርሱን ስሙት የሚል ድምፅ መጣ።

³⁵And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.

³⁶ድምፁም ከመጣ በኋላ ኢየሱስ ብቻውን ሆኖ ተገኘ። እነርሱም ዝም አሉ ካዩትም ነገር በዚያ ወራት ምንም ለማንም አላወሩም።

³⁶And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it close, and told no man in those days any of those things which they had seen.

³⁷በነገውም ከተራራ ሲወርዱ ብዙ ሕዝብ ተገናኙት።

³⁷And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they were come down from the hill, much people met him.

³⁸እነሆም፥ ከሕዝቡ አንድ ሰው እንዲህ እያለ ጮኸ። መምህር ሆይ፥ ለእኔ አንድ ልጅ ነውና ልጄን እንድታይልኝ እለምንሃለሁ።

³⁸And, behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee, look upon my son: for he is mine only child.

³⁹እነሆም፥ ጋኔን ይይዘዋል፥ ድንገትም ይጮኻል አረፋም እያስደፈቀው ያንፈራግጠዋል፥ እየቀጠቀጠም በጭንቅ ይለቀዋል፤

³⁹And, lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it teareth him that he foameth again, and bruising him hardly departeth from him.

⁴⁰ደቀ መዛሙርትህንም እንዲያወጡት ለመንሁ፥ አልቻሉምም።

⁴⁰And I besought thy disciples to cast him out; and they could not.

⁴¹ኢየሱስም መልሶ። እናንተ የማታምን ጠማማ ትውልድ፥ እስከ መቼ ከእናንተ ጋር እኖራለሁ? እስከ መቼስ እታገሣችኋለሁ? ልጅህን ወደዚህ አምጣው አለ።

⁴¹And Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring thy son hither.

⁴²ሲቀርብም ጋኔኑ ጣለውና አንፈራገጠው፤ ኢየሱስ ግን ርኵሱን መንፈስ ገሥጾ ብላቴናውን ፈወሰው ለአባቱም መለሰው።

⁴²And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and tare him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him again to his father.

⁴³ሁሉም ከእግዚአብሔር ታላቅነት የተነሣ ተገረሙ። ሁሉም ኢየሱስ ባደረገው ሁሉ ሲደነቁ፥

⁴³And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, he said unto his disciples,

⁴⁴ለደቀ መዛሙርቱ። የሰው ልጅ በሰው እጅ ይሰጥ ዘንድ አለውና እናንተ ይህን ቃል በጆሮአችሁ አኑሩ አለ።

⁴⁴Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men.

⁴⁵እነርሱ ግን ይህን ነገር አላስተዋሉም፥ እንዳይገባቸውም ተሰውሮባቸው ነበር፤ ስለዚህ ነገርም እንዳይጠይቁት ፈሩ።

⁴⁵But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him of that saying.

⁴⁶ከእነርሱም ማን እንዲበልጥ ክርክር ተነሣባቸው።

⁴⁶Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest.

⁴⁷ኢየሱስም የልባቸውን አሳብ አውቆ ሕፃንን ያዘ፤ በአጠገቡም አቁሞ።

⁴⁷And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by him,

⁴⁸ማንም ይህን ሕፃን በስሜ የሚቀበል እኔን ይቀበላል፤ የሚቀበለኝም ሁሉ የላከኝን ይቀበላል፤ ከሁላችሁ የሚያንስ እርሱ ታላቅ ነውና አላቸው።

⁴⁸And said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this child in my name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great.

⁴⁹ዮሐንስም መልሶ። አቤቱ፥ አንድ ሰው በስምህ አጋንንትን ሲያወጣ አየነው፥ ከእኛ ጋርም ስለማይከተል ከለከልነው አለው።

⁴⁹And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us.

⁵⁰ኢየሱስ ግን። የማይቃወማችሁ ከእናንተ ጋር ነውና አትከልክሉት አለው።

⁵⁰And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us.

⁵¹የሚወጣበትም ወራት በቀረበ ጊዜ ወደ ኢየሩሳሌም ለመሄድ ፊቱን አቀና፥

⁵¹And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,

⁵²በፊቱም መልክተኞችን ሰደደ። ሄደውም ሊያሰናዱለት ወደ አንድ ወደ ሳምራውያን መንደር ገቡ፤

⁵²And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.

⁵³ፊቱም ወደ ኢየሩሳሌም እንደሚሄድ ስለ ነበረ አልተቀበሉትም።

⁵³And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem.

⁵⁴ደቀ መዛሙርቱም ያዕቆብና ዮሐንስ አይተው። ጌታ ሆይ፥ ኤልያስ ደግሞ እንዳደረገ እሳት ከሰማይ ወርዶ ያጥፋቸው እንል ዘንድ ትወዳለህን? አሉት።

⁵⁴And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did?

⁵⁵እርሱ ግን ዘወር ብሎ ገሠጻቸውና። ምን ዓይነት መንፈስ እንደ ሆነላችሁ አታውቁም፤

⁵⁵But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.

⁵⁶የሰው ልጅ የሰውን ነፍስ ሊያድን እንጂ ሊያጠፋ አልመጣም አለ። ወደ ሌላ መንደርም ሄዱ።

⁵⁶For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.

⁵⁷እነርሱም በመንገድ ሲሄዱ አንድ ሰው። ጌታ ሆይ፥ ወደ ምትሄድበት ሁሉ እከተልሃለሁ አለው።

⁵⁷And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain man said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.

⁵⁸ኢየሱስም። ለቀበሮዎች ጕድጓድ ለሰማይም ወፎች መሳፈሪያ አላቸው፥ ለሰው ልጅ ግን ራሱን የሚያስጠጋበት የለውም አለው።

⁵⁸And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.

⁵⁹ሌላውንም። ተከተለኝ አለው። እርሱ ግን። ጌታ ሆይ፥ አስቀድሜ ልሂድና አባቴን እቀብር ዘንድ ፍቀድልኝ አለ።

⁵⁹And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.

⁶⁰ኢየሱስም። ሙታናቸውን እንዲቀብሩ ሙታንን ተዋቸው፤ አንተስ ሄደህ የእግዚአብሔርን መንግሥት ስበክ አለው።

⁶⁰Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.

⁶¹ደግሞ ሌላው። ጌታ ሆይ፥ እከተልሃለሁ፤ ነገር ግን አስቀድሜ ከቤቴ ሰዎች እንድሰናበት ፍቀድልኝ አለ።

⁶¹And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.

⁶²ኢየሱስ ግን። ማንም ዕርፍ በእጁ ይዞ ወደ ኋላ የሚመለከት ለእግዚአብሔር መንግሥት የተገባ አይደለም አለው።

⁶²And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
