¹And he arose from thence, and cometh into the coasts of Judaea by the farther side of Jordan: and the people resort unto him again; and, as he was wont, he taught them again.

¹ከዚያም ተነሥቶ በዮርዳኖስ ማዶ ወደ ይሁዳ አገር መጣ፥ ደግሞም ብዙ ሰዎች ወደ እርሱ ተሰበሰቡ እንደ ልማዱም ደግሞ ያስተምራቸው ነበር።

²And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting him.

²ፈሪሳውያንም ቀርበው። ሰው ሚስቱን ሊፈታ ተፈቅዶለታልን? ብለው ሊፈትኑት ጠየቁት።

³And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you?

³እርሱ ግን መልሶ። ሙሴ ምን አዘዛችሁ? አላቸው።

⁴And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away.

⁴እነርሱም። ሙሴስ የፍችዋን ጽሕፈት ጽፎ እንዲፈታት ፈቀደ አሉ።

⁵And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept.

⁵ኢየሱስም መልሶ እንዲህ አላቸው። ስለ ልባችሁ ጥንካሬ ይህችን ትእዛዝ ጻፈላችሁ።

⁶But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.

⁶ከፍጥረት መጀመሪያ ግን እግዚአብሔር ወንድና ሴት አደረጋቸው፤

⁷For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;

⁷ስለዚህ ሰው አባቱንና እናቱን ይተዋል ከሚስቱም ጋር ይተባበራል፥

⁸And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.

⁸ሁለቱም አንድ ሥጋ ይሆናሉ፤ ስለዚህ አንድ ሥጋ ናቸው እንጂ ወደ ፊት ሁለት አይደሉም።

⁹What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

⁹እግዚአብሔር ያጣመረውን እንግዲህ ሰው አይለየው።

¹⁰And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter.

¹⁰በቤትም ደግሞ ደቀ መዛሙርቱ ስለዚህ ነገር ጠየቁት።

¹¹And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her.

¹¹እርሱም። ሚስቱን ፈትቶ ሌላ የሚያገባ ሁሉ በእርስዋ ላይ ያመነዝራል፤

¹²And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.

¹²እርስዋም ባልዋን ፈትታ ሌላ ብታገባ ታመነዝራለች አላቸው።

¹³And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them.

¹³እንዲዳስሳቸውም ሕፃናትን ወደ እርሱ አመጡ፤ ደቀ መዛሙርቱም ያመጡአቸውን ገሠጹአቸው።

¹⁴But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.

¹⁴ኢየሱስ ግን አይቶ ተቈጣና። ሕፃናትን ወደ እኔ ይመጡ ዘንድ ተዉ አትከልክሉአቸው፤ የእግዚአብሔር መንግሥት እንደነዚህ ላሉት ናትና።

¹⁵Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.

¹⁵እውነት እላችኋለሁ፤ የእግዚአብሔርን መንግሥት እንደ ሕፃን የማይቀበላት ሁሉ ከቶ አይገባባትም አላቸው።

¹⁶And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them.

¹⁶አቀፋቸውም እጁንም ጭኖ ባረካቸው።

¹⁷And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?

¹⁷እርሱም በመንገድ ሲወጣ አንድ ሰው ወደ እርሱ ሮጦ ተንበረከከለትና። ቸር መምህር ሆይ፥ የዘላለም ሕይወትን እወርስ ዘንድ ምን ላድርግ? ብሎ ጠየቀው።

¹⁸And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.

¹⁸ኢየሱስም። ስለ ምን ቸር ትለኛለህ? ከአንዱ ከእግዚአብሔር በቀር ቸር ማንም የለም።

¹⁹Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother.

¹⁹ትእዛዛትን ታውቃለህ፤ አታመንዝር፥ አትግደል፥ አትስረቅ፥ በሐሰት አትመስክር፥ አታታልል፥ አባትህንና እናትህን አክብር አለው።

²⁰And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth.

²⁰እርሱም መልሶ። መምህር ሆይ፥ ይህን ሁሉ ከሕፃንነቴ ጀምሬ ጠብቄአለሁ አለው።

²¹Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.

²¹ኢየሱስም ወደ እርሱ ተመልክቶ ወደደውና። አንድ ነገር ጐደለህ፤ ሂድ፥ ያለህን ሁሉ ሽጠህ ለድሆች ስጥ፥ በሰማይም መዝገብ ታገኛለህ፥ መስቀሉንም ተሸክመህ ና፥ ተከተለኝ አለው።

²²And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions.

²²ነገር ግን ስለዚህ ነገር ፊቱ ጠቈረ፥ ብዙ ንብረት ነበረውና እያዘነም ሄደ።

²³And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!

²³ኢየሱስም ዘወር ብሎ አይቶ ደቀ መዛሙርቱን። ገንዘብ ላላቸው ወደ እግዚአብሔር መንግሥት መግባት እንዴት ጭንቅ ይሆናል አላቸው።

²⁴And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God!

²⁴ደቀ መዛሙርቱም እነዚህን ቃሎች አደነቁ። ኢየሱስም ደግሞ መልሶ። ልጆች ሆይ፥ በገንዘብ ለሚታመኑ ወደ እግዚአብሔር መንግሥት መግባት እንዴት ጭንቅ ነው።

²⁵It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

²⁵ባለ ጠጋ ወደ እግዚአብሔር መንግሥት ከሚገባ ግመል በመርፌ ቀዳዳ ቢያልፍ ይቀላል አላቸው።

²⁶And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved?

²⁶እነርሱም ያለ መጠን ተገረሙና እርስ በርሳቸው። እንግዲያ ማን ሊድን ይችላል? ተባባሉ።

²⁷And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.

²⁷ኢየሱስም ተመለከታቸውና። ይህ በእግዚአብሔር ዘንድ እንጂ በሰው ዘንድ አይቻልም፤ በእግዚአብሔር ዘንድ ሁሉ ይቻላልና አለ።

²⁸Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee.

²⁸ጴጥሮስም። እነሆ፥ እኛ ሁሉን ትተን ተከተልንህ ይለው ጀመር።

²⁹And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's,

²⁹ኢየሱስም መልሶ እንዲህ አለ። እውነት እላችኋለሁ፥ ስለ እኔና ስለ ወንጌል ቤትን ወይም ወንድሞችን ወይም እኅቶችን ወይም አባትን ወይም እናትን ወይም ሚስትን ወይም ልጆችን ወይም እርሻን የተወ፥

³⁰But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.

³⁰አሁን በዚህ ዘመን ከስደት ጋር ቤቶችን ወንድሞችንና እኅቶችንም እናቶችንም ልጆችንም እርሻንም መቶ እጥፍ፥ በሚመጣውም ዓለም የዘላለም ሕይወት የማይቀበል ማንም የለም።

³¹But many that are first shall be last; and the last first.

³¹ግን ብዙ ፊተኞች ኋለኞች ኋለኞችም ፊተኞች ይሆናሉ።

³²And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus went before them: and they were amazed; and as they followed, they were afraid. And he took again the twelve, and began to tell them what things should happen unto him,

³²ወደ ኢየሩሳሌምም ሊወጡ በመንገድ ነበሩ፥ ኢየሱስም ይቀድማቸው ነበርና ተደነቁ፤ የተከተሉትም ይፈሩ ነበር። ደግሞም አሥራ ሁለቱን ወደ እርሱ አቅርቦ ይደርስበት ዘንድ ያለውን ይነግራቸው ጀመር።

³³Saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles:

³³እነሆ፥ ወደ ኢየሩሳሌም እንወጣለን፥ የሰው ልጅም ለካህናት አለቆችና ለጻፎች አልፎ ይሰጣል፥ የሞት ፍርድም ይፈርዱበታል፥ ለአሕዛብም አሳልፈው ይሰጡታል፥

³⁴And they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit upon him, and shall kill him: and the third day he shall rise again.

³⁴ይዘብቱበትማል ይተፉበትማል ይገርፉትማል ይገድሉትማል፥ በሦስተኛውም ቀን ይነሣል አላቸው።

³⁵And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come unto him, saying, Master, we would that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall desire.

³⁵የዘብዴዎስ ልጆች ያዕቆብና ዮሐንስም ወደ እርሱ ቀርበው። መምህር ሆይ፥ የምንለምንህን ሁሉ እንድታደርግልን እንወዳለን አሉት።

³⁶And he said unto them, What would ye that I should do for you?

³⁶እርሱም። ምን ላደርግላችሁ ትወዳላችሁ? አላቸው።

³⁷They said unto him, Grant unto us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory.

³⁷እነርሱም። በክብርህ ጊዜ አንዳችን በቀኝ አንዳችንም በግራህ መቀመጥን ስጠን አሉት።

³⁸But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask: can ye drink of the cup that I drink of? and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?

³⁸ኢየሱስ ግን። የምትለምኑትን አታውቁም። እኔ የምጠጣውን ጽዋ ልትጠጡ፥ እኔ የምጠመቀውንስ ጥምቀት ልትጠመቁ ትችላላችሁን? አላቸው።

³⁹And they said unto him, We can. And Jesus said unto them, Ye shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized:

³⁹እነርሱም። እንችላለን አሉት። ኢየሱስም። እኔ የምጠጣውን ጽዋ ትጠጣላችሁ፥ እኔ የምጠመቀውንም ጥምቀት ትጠመቃላችሁ፤

⁴⁰But to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give; but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared.

⁴⁰በቀኝና በግራ መቀመጥ ግን ለተዘጋጀላቸው ነው እንጂ የምሰጥ እኔ አይደለሁም አላቸው።

⁴¹And when the ten heard it, they began to be much displeased with James and John.

⁴¹አሥሩም ሰምተው በያዕቆብና በዮሐንስ ይቈጡ ጀመር።

⁴²But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them.

⁴²ኢየሱስም ወደ እርሱ ጠርቶ እንዲህ አላቸው። የአሕዛብ አለቆች ተብሎ የምታስቡት እንዲገዙአቸው ታላላቆቻቸውም በላያቸው እንዲሠለጥኑ ታውቃላችሁ።

⁴³But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister:

⁴³በእናንተስ እንዲህ አይደለም፤ ነገር ግን ማንም ከእናንተ ታላቅ ሊሆን የሚወድ የእናንተ አገልጋይ ይሁን፥

⁴⁴And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all.

⁴⁴ከእናንተም ማንም ፊተኛ ሊሆን የሚወድ የሁሉ ባሪያ ይሁን፤

⁴⁵For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

⁴⁵እንዲሁ የሰው ልጅም ሊያገለግልና ነፍሱን ለብዙዎች ቤዛ ሊሰጥ እንጂ እንዲያገለግሉት አልመጣም።

⁴⁶And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging.

⁴⁶ወደ ኢያሪኮም መጡ። ከደቀ መዛሙርቱና ከብዙ ሕዝብ ጋር ከኢያሪኮ ሲወጣ የጤሜዎስ ልጅ ዕውሩ በርጤሜዎስ እየለመነ በመንገድ ዳር ተቀምጦ ነበር።

⁴⁷And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me.

⁴⁷የናዝሬቱ ኢየሱስም እንደ ሆነ በሰማ ጊዜ። የዳዊት ልጅ ኢየሱስ ሆይ፥ ማረኝ እያለ ይጮኽ ጀመር።

⁴⁸And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou son of David, have mercy on me.

⁴⁸ብዙዎችም ዝም እንዲል ገሠጹት፤ እርሱ ግን። የዳዊት ልጅ ሆይ፥ ማረኝ እያለ አብዝቶ ጮኸ።

⁴⁹And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee.

⁴⁹ኢየሱስም ቆመና። ጥሩት አለ። ዕውሩንም። አይዞህ፥ ተነሣ፥ ይጠራሃል ብለው ጠሩት።

⁵⁰And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus.

⁵⁰እርሱም እየዘለለ ተነሣና ልብሱን ጥሎ ወደ ኢየሱስ መጣ።

⁵¹And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight.

⁵¹ኢየሱስም መልሶ። ምን ላደርግልህ ትወዳለህ? አለው። ዕውሩም። መምህር ሆይ፥ አይ ዘንድ አለው።

⁵²And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.

⁵²ኢየሱስም። ሂድ፤ እምነትህ አድኖሃል አለው። ወዲያውም አየ በመንገድም ተከተለው።
