¹And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples,

¹ወደ ኢየሩሳሌምም ከደብረ ዘይት አጠገብ ወዳሉቱ ወደ ቤተ ፋጌና ወደ ቢታንያ በቀረቡ ጊዜ፥ ከደቀ መዛሙርቱ ሁለቱን ልኮ።

²And saith unto them, Go your way into the village over against you: and as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon never man sat; loose him, and bring him.

²በፊታችሁ ወዳለችው መንደር ሂዱ፥ ወዲያውም ወደ እርስዋ ገብታችሁ ከሰው ማንም ገና ያልተቀመጠበት ውርንጫ ታስሮ ታገኛላችሁ፤ ፈትታችሁ አምጡልኝ።

³And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him hither.

³ማንም። ስለ ምን እንዲህ ታደርጋላችሁ? ቢላችሁ። ለጌታ ያስፈልገዋል በሉት፥ ወዲያውም ደግሞ ወደዚህ ይሰደዋል አላቸው።

⁴And they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door without in a place where two ways met; and they loose him.

⁴ሄዱም ውርንጫውንም በመንገድ መተላለፊያ በደጅ ውጭ ታስሮ አገኙት፥ ፈቱትም።

⁵And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing the colt?

⁵በዚያም ከቆሙት አንዳንዶቹ። ውርንጫውን የምትፈቱት ምን ልታደርጉት ነው አሉአቸው።

⁶And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded: and they let them go.

⁶እነርሱም ኢየሱስ እንዳዘዘ አሉአቸው፤ ተዉአቸውም።

⁷And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him; and he sat upon him.

⁷ውርንጫውንም ወደ ኢየሱስ አመጡት፥ ልብሳቸውንም በላዩ ጣሉ፥ ተቀመጠበትም።

⁸And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down branches off the trees, and strawed them in the way.

⁸ብዙ ሰዎችም ልብሳቸውን በመንገድ ላይ አነጠፉ፥ ሌሎችም ከዛፍ ቅጠሎችን እየቈረጡ ያነጥፉ ነበር።

⁹And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord:

⁹የሚቀድሙትም የሚከተሉትም። ሆሣዕና፤ በጌታ ስም የሚመጣ የተባረከ ነው፤

¹⁰Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.

¹⁰በጌታ ስም የምትመጣ የአባታችን የዳዊት መንግሥት የተባረከች ናት፤ ሆሣዕና በአርያም እያሉ ይጮኹ ነበር።

¹¹And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had looked round about upon all things, and now the eventide was come, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve.

¹¹ኢየሱስም ወደ ኢየሩሳሌም ወደ መቅደስ ገባ፤ ዘወር ብሎም ሁሉን ከተመለከተ በኋላ፥ ጊዜው መሽቶ ስለ ነበረ ከአሥራ ሁለቱ ጋር ወደ ቢታንያ ወጣ።

¹²And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry:

¹²በማግሥቱም ከቢታንያ ሲወጡ ተራበ።

¹³And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet.

¹³ቅጠልም ያላት በለስ ከሩቅ አይቶ ምናልባት አንዳች ይገኝባት እንደ ሆነ ብሎ መጣ፥ ነገር ግን የበለስ ወራት አልነበረምና መጥቶ ከቅጠል በቀር ምንም አላገኘባትም።

¹⁴And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.

¹⁴መልሶም። ከአሁን ጀምሮ ለዘላለም ማንም ከአንቺ ፍሬ አይብላ አላት። ደቀ መዛሙርቱም ሰሙ።

¹⁵And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves;

¹⁵ወደ ኢየሩሳሌምም መጡ። ወደ መቅደስም ገብቶ በመቅደስ የሚሸጡትንና የሚገዙትን ያወጣ ጀመር፥ የገንዘብ ለዋጮችንም ገበታዎች የርግብ ሻጭዎችንም ወንበሮች ገለበጠ፤

¹⁶And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple.

¹⁶ዕቃም ተሸክሞ ማንም በመቅደስ ሊያልፍ አልፈቀደም።

¹⁷And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.

¹⁷አስተማራቸውም። ቤቴ ለአሕዛብ ሁሉ የጸሎት ቤት ትባላለች ተብሎ የተጻፈ አይደለምን? እናንተ ግን የወንበዶች ዋሻ አደረጋችኋት አላቸው።

¹⁸And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people was astonished at his doctrine.

¹⁸የካህናት አለቆችም ጻፎችም ሰምተው፥ ሕዝቡ ሁሉ በትምህርቱ ይገረሙ ስለ ነበር ይፈሩት ነበርና እንዴት አድርገው እንዲያጠፉት ፈለጉ።

¹⁹And when even was come, he went out of the city.

¹⁹ማታ ማታም ከከተማ ወደ ውጭ ይወጣ ነበር።

²⁰And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.

²⁰ማለዳም ሲያልፉ በለሲቱን ከሥርዋ ደርቃ አዩአት።

²¹And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.

²¹ጴጥሮስም ትዝ ብሎት። መምህር ሆይ፥ እነሆ፥ የረገምሃት በለስ ደርቃለች አለው።

²²And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.

²²ኢየሱስም መልሶ እንዲህ አላቸው። በእግዚአብሔር እመኑ።

²³For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

²³እውነት እላችኋለሁ፥ ማንም ያለው ነገር እንዲደረግለት ቢያምን በልቡ ሳይጠራጠር፥ ይህን ተራራ። ተነቅለህ ወደ ባሕር ተወርወር ቢል ይሆንለታል።

²⁴Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

²⁴ስለዚህ እላችኋለሁ፥ የጸለያችሁትን የለመናችሁትንም ሁሉ እንዳገኛችሁት እመኑ፥ ይሆንላችሁማል።

²⁵And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

²⁵ለጸሎትም በቆማችሁ ጊዜ፥ በሰማያት ያለው አባታችሁ ደግሞ ኃጢአታችሁን ይቅር እንዲላችሁ፥ በማንም ላይ አንዳች ቢኖርባችሁ ይቅር በሉት።

²⁶But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.

²⁶እናንተ ግን ይቅር ባትሉ በሰማያት ያለው አባታችሁም ኃጢአታችሁን ይቅር አይላችሁም።

²⁷And they come again to Jerusalem: and as he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders,

²⁷ደግሞም ወደ ኢየሩሳሌም መጡ። እርሱም በመቅደስ ሲመላለስ፥ የካህናት አለቆችና ጻፎች ሽማግሌዎችም ወደ እርሱ መጥተው።

²⁸And say unto him, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority to do these things?

²⁸እነዚህን በምን ሥልጣን ታደርጋለህ? ወይስ እነዚህን ለማድረግ ይህን ሥልጣን ማን ሰጠህ? አሉት።

²⁹And Jesus answered and said unto them, I will also ask of you one question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.

²⁹ኢየሱስም። እኔም አንዲት ነገር እጠይቃችኋለሁ፥ እናንተም መልሱልኝ፥ እኔም በምን ሥልጣን እነዚህን እንዳደርግ እነግራችኋለሁ።

³⁰The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? answer me.

³⁰የዮሐንስ ጥምቀት ከሰማይ ነበረችን ወይስ ከሰው? መልሱልኝ አላቸው።

³¹And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?

³¹እርስ በርሳቸውም ሲነጋገሩ። ከሰማይ ነው ብንል። እንግዲያውስ ስለ ምን አላመናችሁበትም? ይለናል፤

³²But if we shall say, Of men; they feared the people: for all men counted John, that he was a prophet indeed.

³²ነገር ግን። ከሰው ነው እንበልን? አሉ፤ ሁሉ ዮሐንስን በእውነት እንደ ነቢይ ያዩት ነበርና ሕዝቡን ፈሩ።

³³And they answered and said unto Jesus, We cannot tell. And Jesus answering saith unto them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.

³³ለኢየሱስም መልሰው። አናውቅም አሉት ኢየሱስም። እኔም በምን ሥልጣን እነዚህን እንዳደርግ አልነግራችሁም አላቸው።
