1After two days was the feast of the passover, and of unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him by craft, and put him to death.
1ከሁለት ቀን በኋላ ፋሲካና የቂጣ በዓል ነበረ። የካህናት አለቆችም ጻፎችም እንዴት አድርገው በተንኰል እንደሚይዙትና እንደሚገድሉት ይፈልጉ ነበር።
2But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar of the people.
2የሕዝብ ሁከት እንዳይሆን በበዓል አይሁን ይሉ ነበርና።
3And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box, and poured it on his head.
3እርሱም በቢታንያ በለምጻሙ በስምዖን ቤት በነበረ ጊዜ፥ በማዕድ ተቀምጦ ሳለ፥ አንዲት ሴት ዋጋው እጅግ የከበረ ጥሩ ናርዶስ ሽቱ የመላበት የአልባስጥሮስ ቢልቃጥ ይዛ መጣች፤ ቢልቃጡንም ሰብራ በራሱ ላይ አፈሰሰችው።
4And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made?
4አንዳንዶችም። ይህ የሽቱ ጥፋት ለምንድር ነው?
5For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor. And they murmured against her.
5ይህ ሽቱ ከሦስት መቶ ዲናር በሚበልጥ ዋጋ ተሽጦ ለድሆች ሊሰጥ ይቻል ነበርና ብለው በራሳቸው ይቈጡ ነበር፤ እርስዋንም ነቀፉአት።
6And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me.
6ኢየሱስ ግን እንዲህ አለ። ተዉአት፤ ስለ ምን ታደክሙአታላችሁ? መልካም ሥራ ሠርታልኛለች።
7For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always.
7ድሆች ሁልጊዜ ከእናንተ ጋር ይኖራሉና፥ በማናቸውም በወደዳችሁት ጊዜ መልካም ልታደርጉላቸው ትችላላችሁ፥ እኔ ግን ሁልጊዜ ከእናንተ ጋር አልኖርም።
8She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying.
8የተቻላትን አደረገች፤ አስቀድማ ለመቃብሬ ሥጋዬን ቀባችው።
9Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.
9እውነት እላችኋለሁ፥ ይህ ወንጌል በዓለሙ ሁሉ በሚሰበክበት በማናቸውም ስፍራ፥ እርስዋ ያደረገችው ደግሞ ለእርስዋ መታሰቢያ ሊሆን ይነገራል።
10And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went unto the chief priests, to betray him unto them.
10ከአሥራ ሁለቱም አንዱ የአስቆሮቱ ይሁዳ አሳልፎ ሊሰጠው ወደ ካህናት አለቆች ሄደ።
11And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently betray him.
11ሲሰሙም ደስ አላቸው ብርም ይሰጡት ዘንድ ተስፋ ሰጡት። በሚመች ጊዜም እንዴት አድርጎ አሳልፎ እንዲሰጠው ይፈልግ ነበር።
12And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover, his disciples said unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare that thou mayest eat the passover?
12ፋሲካን በሚያርዱበት በቂጣ በዓል መጀመሪያ ቀን ደቀ መዛሙርቱ። ፋሲካን ትበላ ዘንድ ወዴት ሄደን ልናሰናዳ ትወዳለህ? አሉት።
13And he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and saith unto them, Go ye into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water: follow him.
13ከደቀ መዛሙርቱም ሁለት ላከ እንዲህም አላቸው። ወደ ከተማ ሂዱ፥ ማድጋ ውኃ የተሸከመ ሰውም ይገናኛችኋል፤
14And wheresoever he shall go in, say ye to the goodman of the house, The Master saith, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?
14ተከተሉት፥ የሚገባበትንም የቤቱን ጌታ። መምህሩ። ከደቀ መዛሙርቴ ጋር ፋሲካን የምበላበት የእንግዳ ቤት ወዴት ነው? ይላል በሉት።
15And he will shew you a large upper room furnished and prepared: there make ready for us.
15እርሱም በደርብ ላይ ያለውን የተሰናዳና የተነጠፈ ታላቅ አዳራሽ ያሳያችኋል፤
16And his disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.
16በዚያም አሰናዱልን። ደቀ መዛሙርቱም ወጡ ወደ ከተማም ሄደው እንዳላቸው አገኙ፥ ፋሲካንም አሰናዱ።
17And in the evening he cometh with the twelve.
17በመሸም ጊዜ ከአሥራ ሁለቱ ጋር መጣ።
18And as they sat and did eat, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, One of you which eateth with me shall betray me.
18ተቀምጠውም ሲበሉ ኢየሱስ። እውነት እላችኋለሁ፥ ከእናንተ አንዱ፥ እርሱም ከእኔ ጋር የሚበላው አሳልፎ ይሰጠኛል አለ።
19And they began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by one, Is it I? and another said, Is it I?
19እነርሱም ያዝኑ፥ እያንዳንዳቸውም። እኔ እሆንን? ይሉት ጀመር።
20And he answered and said unto them, It is one of the twelve, that dippeth with me in the dish.
20እርሱም መልሶ። ከአሥራ ሁለቱ አንዱ ከእኔ ጋር ወደ ወጭቱ እጁን የሚያጠልቀው ነው።
21The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had never been born.
21የሰው ልጅስ ስለ እርሱ እንደ ተጻፈ ይሄዳል፤ ነገር ግን የሰው ልጅ አልፎ ለሚሰጥበት ለዚያ ሰው ወዮለት፤ ያ ሰው ባልተወለደ ይሻለው ነበር አላቸው።
22And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body.
22ሲበሉም ኢየሱስ እንጀራን አንሥቶ ባረከ ቈርሶም ሰጣቸውና። እንካችሁ፤ ይህ ሥጋዬ ነው አለ።
23And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them: and they all drank of it.
23ጽዋንም አንሥቶ አመስግኖም ሰጣቸው፥ ሁሉም ከእርሱ ጠጡ።
24And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many.
24እርሱም። ይህ ስለ ብዙዎች የሚፈስ የአዲስ ኪዳን ደሜ ነው።
25Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God.
25እውነት እላችኋለሁ፥ በእግዚአብሔር መንግሥት ከወይኑ ፍሬ አዲሱን እስከምጠጣበት እስከዚያ ቀን ድረስ ደግሞ አልጠጣውም አላቸው።
26And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.
26መዝሙርም ከዘመሩ በኋላ ወደ ደብረ ዘይት ወጡ።
27And Jesus saith unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered.
27ኢየሱስም። በዚች ሌሊት ሁላችሁ በእኔ ትሰናከላላችሁ፤ እረኛዉን እመታለሁ በጎችም ይበተናሉ የሚል ተጽፎአልና።
28But after that I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee.
28ነገር ግን ከተነሣሁ በኋላ ወደ ገሊላ እቀድማችኋለሁ አላቸው።
29But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be offended, yet will not I.
29ጴጥሮስም። ሁሉም ቢሰናከሉ እኔ ግን ከቶ አልሰናከልም አለው።
30And Jesus saith unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this day, even in this night, before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice.
30ኢየሱስም። እውነት እልሃለሁ፥ ዛሬ በዚች ሌሊት ዶሮ ሁለት ጊዜ ሳይጮኽ ሦስት ጊዜ ትክደኛለህ አለው።
31But he spake the more vehemently, If I should die with thee, I will not deny thee in any wise. Likewise also said they all.
31እርሱም ቃሉን አበርትቶ። ከአንተ ጋር የምሞት እንኳ ቢሆን ከቶ አልክድህም አለ። ሁሉም ደግሞ እንደዚሁ አሉ።
32And they came to a place which was named Gethsemane: and he saith to his disciples, Sit ye here, while I shall pray.
32ጌቴሴማኒ ወደምትባልም ስፍራ መጡ፥ ደቀ መዛሙርቱንም። ስጸልይ ሳለሁ፥ በዚህ ተቀመጡ አላቸው።
33And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and began to be sore amazed, and to be very heavy;
33ጴጥሮስንና ያዕቆብን ዮሐንስንም ከእርሱ ጋር ወሰደ፤ ሊደነግጥም ሊተክዝም ጀመረና።
34And saith unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death: tarry ye here, and watch.
34ነፍሴ እስከ ሞት ድረስ እጅግ አዘነች፤ በዚህ ቈዩ ትጉም አላቸው።
35And he went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him.
35ጥቂትም ወደ ፊት እልፍ ብሎ በምድርም ወድቆ፥ ይቻልስ ቢሆን ሰዓቲቱ ከእርሱ እንድታልፍ ጸለየና።
36And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt.
36አባ አባት ሆይ፥ ሁሉ ይቻልሃል፤ ይህችን ጽዋ ከእኔ ውሰድ፤ ነገር ግን አንተ የምትወደው እንጂ እኔ የምወደው አይሁን አለ።
37And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldest not thou watch one hour?
37መጣም ተኝተውም አገኛቸው፥ ጴጥሮስንም። ስምዖን ሆይ፥ ተኝተሃልን? አንዲት ሰዓት ስንኳ ልትተጋ አልቻልህምን?
38Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak.
38ወደ ፈተና እንዳትገቡ ትጉ ጸልዩም፤ መንፈስስ ተዘጋጅታለች፥ ሥጋ ግን ደካማ ነው አለው።
39And again he went away, and prayed, and spake the same words.
39ደግሞም ሄዶ ያንኑ ቃል ጸለየ።
40And when he returned, he found them asleep again, (for their eyes were heavy,) neither wist they what to answer him.
40ደግሞም መጥቶ ዓይኖቻቸው በእንቅልፍ ከብደው ነበርና ተኝተው አገኛቸው፥ የሚመልሱለትንም አላወቁም።
41And he cometh the third time, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: it is enough, the hour is come; behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
41ሦስተኛም መጥቶ። እንግዲህስ ተኙ ዕረፉም፤ ይበቃል፤ ሰዓቲቱ ደረሰች፤ እነሆ፥ የሰው ልጅ በኃጢአተኞች እጅ አልፎ ይሰጣል።
42Rise up, let us go; lo, he that betrayeth me is at hand.
42ተነሡ፥ እንሂድ፤ እነሆ፥ አሳልፎ የሚሰጠኝ ቀርቦአል አላቸው።
43And immediately, while he yet spake, cometh Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.
43ወዲያውም ገና ሲናገር ከአሥራ ሁለቱ አንዱ ይሁዳ መጣ፥ ከእርሱም ጋር ብዙ ሰዎች ሰይፍና ጐመድ ይዘው ከካህናት አለቆችና ከጻፎች ከሽማግሌዎችም ዘንድ መጡ።
44And he that betrayed him had given them a token, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he; take him, and lead him away safely.
44አሳልፎ የሚሰጠውም። የምስመው እርሱ ነው፤ ያዙት ተጠንቅቃችሁም ውሰዱት ብሎ ምልክት ሰጥቶአቸው ነበር።
45And as soon as he was come, he goeth straightway to him, and saith, Master, master; and kissed him.
45መጥቶም ወዲያው ወደ እርሱ ቀረበና። መምህር ሆይ፥ መምህር ሆይ፥ ብሎ ሳመው፤
46And they laid their hands on him, and took him.
46እነርሱም እጃቸውን በእርሱ ላይ ጭነው ያዙት።
47And one of them that stood by drew a sword, and smote a servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.
47በአጠገብ ከቆሙት ግን አንዱ ሰይፉን መዞ የሊቀ ካህናቱን ባሪያ መታ ጆሮውንም ቈረጠ።
48And Jesus answered and said unto them, Are ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and with staves to take me?
48ኢየሱስም መልሶ። ወንበዴ እንደምትይዙ ሰይፍና ጐመድ ይዛችሁ ልትይዙኝ መጣችሁን?
49I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye took me not: but the scriptures must be fulfilled.
49በመቅደስ ዕለት ዕለት እያስተማርሁ ከእናንተ ጋር ስኖር አልያዛችሁኝም፤ ነገር ግን መጻሕፍት ይፈጸሙ ዘንድ ይህ ሆነ አላቸው።
50And they all forsook him, and fled.
50ሁሉም ትተውት ሸሹ።
51And there followed him a certain young man, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body; and the young men laid hold on him:
51ዕርቃኑን በነጠላ የሸፈነ አንድ ጎበዝ ይከተለው ነበር፥
52And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.
52ጎበዛዝቱም ያዙት፤ እርሱ ግን ነጠላውን ትቶ ዕራቁቱን ሸሸ።
53And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and with him were assembled all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes.
53ኢየሱስንም ወደ ሊቀ ካህናቱ ወሰዱት፥ የካህናት አለቆችም ሁሉ ሽማግሌዎችም ጻፎችም ተሰበሰቡ።
54And Peter followed him afar off, even into the palace of the high priest: and he sat with the servants, and warmed himself at the fire.
54ጴጥሮስም እስከ ሊቀ ካህናቱ ግቢ ውስጥ በሩቁ ተከተለው፥ ከሎሌዎችም ጋር ተቀምጦ እሳት ይሞቅ ነበር።
55And the chief priests and all the council sought for witness against Jesus to put him to death; and found none.
55የካህናት አለቆችም ሸንጎውም ሁሉ እንዲገድሉት በኢየሱስ ላይ ምስክር ይፈልጉ ነበር፥ አላገኙምም፤
56For many bare false witness against him, but their witness agreed not together.
56ብዙዎች በሐሰት ይመሰክሩበት ነበርና፥ ምስክርነታቸው ግን አልተሰማማም።
57And there arose certain, and bare false witness against him, saying,
57ሰዎችም ተነሥተው። እኔ ይህን በእጅ የተሠራውን ቤተ መቅደስ አፈርሰዋለሁ በሦስት ቀንም ሌላውን በእጅ ያልተሠራውን እሠራለሁ ሲል ሰማነው ብለው በሐሰት መሰከሩበት።
58We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands.
59ምስክርነታቸውም እንዲሁ እንኳ አልተሰማማም።
59But neither so did their witness agree together.
60ሊቀ ካህናቱም በመካከላቸው ተነሥቶ። አንዳች አትመልስምን? እነዚህስ በአንተ ላይ የሚመሰክሩብህ ምንድር ነው? ብሎ ኢየሱስን ጠየቀው።
60And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?
61እርሱ ግን ዝም አለ አንዳችም አልመለሰም። ደግሞ ሊቀ ካህናቱ ጠየቀውና። የቡሩክ ልጅ ክርስቶስ አንተ ነህን? አለው።
61But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?
62ኢየሱስም። እኔ ነኝ፤ የሰው ልጅም በኃይል ቀኝ ሲቀመጥ በሰማይም ደመና ሲመጣ ታያላችሁ አለ።
62And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
63ሊቀ ካህናቱም ልብሱን ቀደደና። ከእንግዲህ ወዲህ ምስክሮችን ምን ያስፈልገናል?
63Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any further witnesses?
64ስድቡን ሰማችሁ፤ ምን ይመስላችኋል? አለ። እነርሱም ሁሉ። ሞት ይገባዋል ብለው ፈረዱበት።
64Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death.
65አንዳንዶችም ይተፉበት ፊቱንም ሸፍነው ይጐስሙትና። ትንቢት ተናገር ይሉት ጀመር፤ ሎሌዎችም በጥፊ እየመቱ ወሰዱት።
65And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say unto him, Prophesy: and the servants did strike him with the palms of their hands.
66ጴጥሮስም በግቢ ውስጥ ወደ ታች ሳለ ከሊቀ ካህናቱ ገረዶች አንዲቱ መጣች፥
66And as Peter was beneath in the palace, there cometh one of the maids of the high priest:
67ጴጥሮስም እሳት ሲሞቅ አይታ ተመለከተችውና። አንተ ደግሞ ከናዝሬቱ ከኢየሱስ ጋር ነበርህ አለችው።
67And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and said, And thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth.
68እርሱ ግን። የምትዪውን አላውቅም አላስተውልምም ብሎ ካደ። ወደ ውጭም ወደ ደጅ ወጣ፤ ዶሮም ጮኸ።
68But he denied, saying, I know not, neither understand I what thou sayest. And he went out into the porch; and the cock crew.
69ገረዲቱም አይታው በዚያ ለቆሙት። ይህም ከእነርሱ ወገን ነው ስትል ሁለተኛ ትነግራቸው ጀመር።
69And a maid saw him again, and began to say to them that stood by, This is one of them.
70እርሱም ደግሞ ካደ። ጥቂት ቈይተውም በዚያ የቆሙት ዳግመኛ ጴጥሮስን። የገሊላ ሰው ነህና ከእነርሱ ወገን በእውነት ነህ አሉት።
70And he denied it again. And a little after, they that stood by said again to Peter, Surely thou art one of them: for thou art a Galilaean, and thy speech agreeth thereto.
71እርሱ ግን። ይህን የምትሉትን ሰው አላውቀውም ብሎ ይረገምና ይምል ጀመር። ወዲያውም ዶሮ ሁለተኛ ጮኸ።
71But he began to curse and to swear, saying, I know not this man of whom ye speak.
72ጴጥሮስንም ኢየሱስ። ዶሮ ሁለት ጊዜ ሳይጮኽ ሦስት ጊዜ ትክደኛለህ ያለው ቃል ትዝ አለው፤ ነገሩንም አስቦ አለቀሰ።
72And the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind the word that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And when he thought thereon, he wept.
