¹And he went out from thence, and came into his own country; and his disciples follow him.

¹ከዚያም ወጥቶ ወደ ገዛ አገሩ መጣ ደቀ መዛሙርቱም ተከተሉት።

²And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands?

²ሰንበትም በሆነ ጊዜ በምኵራብ ያስተምር ጀመር፤ ብዙዎችም ሰምተው ተገረሙና። እነዚህን ነገሮች ይህ ከወዴት አገኛቸው? ለዚህ የተሰጠችው ጥበብ ምንድር ናት? በእጁም የሚደረጉ እንደነዚህ ያሉ ተአምራት ምንድር ናቸው?

³Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.

³ይህስ ጸራቢው የማርያም ልጅ የያቆብም የዮሳም የይሁዳም የስምዖንም ወንድም አይደለምን? እኅቶቹስ በዚህ በእኛ ዘንድ አይደሉምን? አሉ፤ ይሰናከሉበትም ነበር።

⁴But Jesus, said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.

⁴ኢየሱስም። ነቢይ ከገዛ አገሩና ከገዛ ዘመዶቹ ከገዛ ቤቱም በቀር ሳይከበር አይቀርም አላቸው።

⁵And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them.

⁵በዚያም በጥቂቶች ድውዮች ላይ እጁን ጭኖ ከመፈወስ በቀር፥ ተአምር ሊያደርግ ምንም አልቻለም።

⁶And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went round about the villages, teaching.

⁶ስለ አለማመናቸውም ተደነቀ። በመንደሮችም እያስተማረ ይዞር ነበር።

⁷And he called unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits;

⁷አስራ ሁለቱንም ወደ እርሱ ጠራ ሁለት ሁለቱንም ይልካቸው ጀመር፥ በርኵሳን መናፍስትም ላይ ሥልጣን ሰጣቸው፥

⁸And commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, save a staff only; no scrip, no bread, no money in their purse:

⁸ለመንገድም ከበትር በቀር እንጀራም ቢሆን ከረጢትም ቢሆን መሐለቅም በመቀነታቸው ቢሆን እንዳይዙ አዘዛቸው።

⁹But be shod with sandals; and not put on two coats.

⁹በእግራችሁ ጫማ አድርጉ እንጂ ሁለት እጀ ጠባብ አትልበሱ አለ።

¹⁰And he said unto them, In what place soever ye enter into an house, there abide till ye depart from that place.

¹⁰በማናቸውም ስፍራ ወደ ቤት ብትገቡ ከዚያ እስክትወጡ ድረስ በዚያው ተቀመጡ።

¹¹And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.

¹¹ከማይቀበሉአችሁና ከማይሰሙአችሁ ስፍራ ሁሉ፥ ከዚያ ወጥታችሁ ምስክር ይሆንባቸው ዘንድ ከእግራችሁ በታች ያለውን ትቢያ አራግፉ። እውነት እላችኋለሁ፥ ከዚያች ከተማ ይልቅ ለሰዶምና ለገሞራ በፍርድ ቀን ይቀልላቸዋል አላቸው።

¹²And they went out, and preached that men should repent.

¹²ወጥተውም ንስሐ እንዲገቡ ሰበኩ፥ ብዙ አጋንንትንም አወጡ፥

¹³And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them.

¹³ብዙ ድውዮችንም ዘይት እየቀቡ ፈወሱአቸው።

¹⁴And king Herod heard of him; (for his name was spread abroad:) and he said, That John the Baptist was risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.

¹⁴ስሙም ተገልጦአልና ንጉሡ ሄሮድስ በሰማ ጊዜ። መጥምቁ ዮሐንስ ከሙታን ተነሥቶአል ስለዚህም ኃይል በእርሱ ይደረጋል አለ።

¹⁵Others said, That it is Elias. And others said, That it is a prophet, or as one of the prophets.

¹⁵ሌሎችም። ኤልያስ ነው አሉ፤ ሌሎችም። ከነቢያት እንደ አንዱ ነቢይ ነው አሉ።

¹⁶But when Herod heard thereof, he said, It is John, whom I beheaded: he is risen from the dead.

¹⁶ሄሮድስ ግን ሰምቶ። እኔ ራሱን ያስቈረጥሁት ዮሐንስ ይህ ነው እርሱ ከሙታን ተነሥቶአል አለ።

¹⁷For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife: for he had married her.

¹⁷ሄሮድስ የወንድሙን የፊልጶስን ሚስት ሄሮድያዳን አግብቶ ነበርና በእርስዋ ምክንያት ራሱ ልኮ ዮሐንስን አስይዞ በወኅኒ አሳስሮት ነበር፤

¹⁸For John had said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife.

¹⁸ዮሐንስ ሄሮድስን። የወንድምህ ሚስት ለአንተ ልትሆን አልተፈቀደም ይለው ነበርና።

¹⁹Therefore Herodias had a quarrel against him, and would have killed him; but she could not:

¹⁹ሄሮድያዳ ግን ተቃውማው ልትገድለው ትፈልግ ነበር አልቻለችም፤

²⁰For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man and an holy, and observed him; and when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly.

²⁰ሄሮድስ ዮሐንስ ጻድቅና ቅዱስ ሰው እንደ ሆነ አውቆ ይፈራውና ይጠባበቀው ነበር፤ እርሱንም ሰምቶ በብዙ ነገር ያመነታ ነበር፤

²¹And when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his birthday made a supper to his lords, high captains, and chief estates of Galilee;

²¹በደስታም ይሰማው ነበር። ሄሮድስም በተወለደበት ቀን ለመኳንንቱና ለሻለቆቹ ለገሊላም ሹማምንት ግብር ባደረገ ጊዜ ምቹ ቀን ሆነላትና

²²And when the daughter of the said Herodias came in, and danced, and pleased Herod and them that sat with him, the king said unto the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give it thee.

²²የሄሮድያዳ ልጅ ገብታ ስትዘፍን ሄሮድስንና ከእርሱ ጋር የተቀመጡትን ደስ አሰኘቻቸው። ንጉሡም ብላቴናይቱን። የምትወጂውን ሁሉ ለምኚኝ እሰጥሽማለሁ አላት፤

²³And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it thee, unto the half of my kingdom.

²³የመንግሥቴ እኩሌታ ስንኳ ቢሆን የምትለምኚውን ሁሉ እሰጥሻለሁ ብሎ ማለላት።

²⁴And she went forth, and said unto her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist.

²⁴ወጥታም ለእናትዋ። ምን ልለምነው? አለች። እርስዋም። የመጥምቁን የዮሐንስን ራስ አለች።

²⁵And she came in straightway with haste unto the king, and asked, saying, I will that thou give me by and by in a charger the head of John the Baptist.

²⁵ወዲያውም ፈጥና ወደ ንጉሡ ገብታ። የመጥምቁን የዮሐንስን ራስ በወጭት አሁን ልትሰጠኝ እወዳለሁ ብላ ለመነችው።

²⁶And the king was exceeding sorry; yet for his oath's sake, and for their sakes which sat with him, he would not reject her.

²⁶ንጉሡም እጅግ አዝኖ ስለ መሐላው ከእርሱም ጋር ስለ ተቀመጡት ሊነሣት አልወደደም።

²⁷And immediately the king sent an executioner, and commanded his head to be brought: and he went and beheaded him in the prison,

²⁷ወዲያውም ንጉሡ ባለ ወግ ልኮ ራሱን እንዲያመጣ አዘዘው። ሄዶም በወኅኒ ራሱን ቈረጠ፥

²⁸And brought his head in a charger, and gave it to the damsel: and the damsel gave it to her mother.

²⁸ራሱንም በወጭት አምጥቶ ለብላቴናይቱ ሰጣት፥ ብላቴናይቱም ለእናትዋ ሰጠች።

²⁹And when his disciples heard of it, they came and took up his corpse, and laid it in a tomb.

²⁹ደቀ መዛሙርቱም ሰምተው መጡ በድኑንም ወስደው ቀበሩት።

³⁰And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught.

³⁰ሐዋርያትም ወደ ኢየሱስ ተሰብስበው ያደረጉትንና ያስተማሩትን ሁሉ ነገሩት።

³¹And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.

³¹እናንት ራሳችሁ ብቻችሁን ወደ ምድረ በዳ ኑና ጥቂት ዕረፉ አላቸው፤ የሚመጡና የሚሄዱ ብዙዎች ነበሩና፥ ለመብላት እንኳ ጊዜ አጡ።

³²And they departed into a desert place by ship privately.

³²በታንኳውም ብቻቸውን ወደ ምድረ በዳ ሄዱ።

³³And the people saw them departing, and many knew him, and ran afoot thither out of all cities, and outwent them, and came together unto him.

³³ሰዎችም ሲሄዱ አዩአቸው ብዙዎችም አወቁአቸውና ከከተሞች ሁሉ በእግር እየሮጡ ወዲያ ቀደሙአቸው ወደ እርሱም ተሰበሰቡ።

³⁴And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things.

³⁴ኢየሱስም ወጥቶ ብዙ ሕዝብ አየና እረኛ እንደሌላቸው በጎች ስለ ነበሩ አዘነላቸው፥ ብዙም ነገር ያስተምራቸው ጀመር።

³⁵And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came unto him, and said, This is a desert place, and now the time is far passed:

³⁵በዚያን ጊዜም ብዙ ሰዓት ካለፈ በኋላ ደቀ መዛሙርቱ ወደ እርሱ ቀርበው። ቦታው ምድረ በዳ ነው አሁንም መሽቶአል፤

³⁶Send them away, that they may go into the country round about, and into the villages, and buy themselves bread: for they have nothing to eat.

³⁶የሚበሉት የላቸውምና በዙሪያ ወዳሉ ገጠሮችና መንደሮች ሄደው እንጀራ ለራሳቸው እንዲገዙ አሰናብታቸው አሉት።

³⁷He answered and said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat?

³⁷እርሱ ግን መልሶ። እናንተ የሚበሉትን ስጡአቸው አላቸው። ሄደን እንጀራ በሁለት መቶ ዲናር እንግዛላቸውን? እንዲበሉም እንስጣቸውን? አሉት።

³⁸He saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes.

³⁸እርሱም። ስንት እንጀራ አላችሁ? ሂዱና እዩ አላቸው። ባወቁም ጊዜ። አምስት፥ ሁለትም ዓሣ አሉት።

³⁹And he commanded them to make all sit down by companies upon the green grass.

³⁹ሁሉንም በየክፍሉ በለመለመ ሣር ላይ እንዲያስቀምጡአቸው አዘዛቸው።

⁴⁰And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties.

⁴⁰መቶ መቶውና አምሳ አምሳው እየሆኑ በተራ በተራ ተቀመጡ።

⁴¹And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all.

⁴¹አምስቱንም እንጀራ ሁለቱንም ዓሣ ይዞ ወደ ሰማይ አሻቅቦ አየና ባረከ፥ እንጀራውንም ቈርሶ እንዲያቀርቡላቸው ለደቀ መዛሙርቱ ሰጠ፥

⁴²And they did all eat, and were filled.

⁴²ሁለቱን ዓሣ ደግሞ ለሁሉ ከፈለ። ሁሉም በልተው ጠገቡ፤

⁴³And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments, and of the fishes.

⁴³ከቍርስራሹም አሥራ ሁለት መሶብ የሞላ አነሡ ከዓሣውም ደግሞ።

⁴⁴And they that did eat of the loaves were about five thousand men.

⁴⁴እንጀራውንም የበሉት ወንዶቹ አምስት ሺህ ነበሩ።

⁴⁵And straightway he constrained his disciples to get into the ship, and to go to the other side before unto Bethsaida, while he sent away the people.

⁴⁵ወዲያውም ሕዝቡን ሲያሰናብት ሳለ ደቀ መዛሙርቱ በታንኳ ገብተው ወደ ማዶ ወደ ቤተ ሳይዳ እንዲቀድሙት ግድ አላቸው።

⁴⁶And when he had sent them away, he departed into a mountain to pray.

⁴⁶ካሰናበታቸውም በኋላ ሊጸልይ ወደ ተራራ ወጣ።

⁴⁷And when even was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land.

⁴⁷በመሸም ጊዜ ታንኳይቱ በባሕር መካከል ሳለች እርሱ ብቻውን በምድር ላይ ነበረ።

⁴⁸And he saw them toiling in rowing; for the wind was contrary unto them: and about the fourth watch of the night he cometh unto them, walking upon the sea, and would have passed by them.

⁴⁸ነፋስ ወደ ፊታቸው ነበረና እየቀዘፉ ሲጨነቁ አይቶ፥ ከሌሊቱ በአራተኛው ክፍል በባሕር ላይ እየሄደ ወደ እነርሱ መጣ፤ ሊያልፋቸውም ይወድ ነበር።

⁴⁹But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they supposed it had been a spirit, and cried out:

⁴⁹እነርሱ ግን በባሕር ላይ ሲሄድ ባዩት ጊዜ ምትሀት መሰላቸውና ጮኹ፥

⁵⁰For they all saw him, and were troubled. And immediately he talked with them, and saith unto them, Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid.

⁵⁰ሁሉ አይተውታልና፥ ታወኩም። ወዲያውም ተናገራቸውና። አይዞአችሁ፤ እኔ ነኝ፥ አትፍሩ አላቸው።

⁵¹And he went up unto them into the ship; and the wind ceased: and they were sore amazed in themselves beyond measure, and wondered.

⁵¹ወደ እነርሱም ወደ ታንኳይቱ ገባ፥ ነፋሱም ተወ፤ በራሳቸውም ያለ መጠን እጅግ ተገረሙ፤

⁵²For they considered not the miracle of the loaves: for their heart was hardened.

⁵²ስለ እንጀራው አላስተዋሉምና፤ ነገር ግን ልባቸው ደንዝዞ ነበር።

⁵³And when they had passed over, they came into the land of Gennesaret, and drew to the shore.

⁵³ተሻግረውም ወደ ምድር ወደ ጌንሴሬጥ ደረሱ ታንኳይቱንም አስጠጉ።

⁵⁴And when they were come out of the ship, straightway they knew him,

⁵⁴ከታንኳይቱም ሲወጡ ወዲያው አውቀውት

⁵⁵And ran through that whole region round about, and began to carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard he was.

⁵⁵በዚያች አገር ሁሉ ዙሪያ ሮጡና እርሱ እንዳለ ወደ ሰሙበት ስፍራ ሕመምተኞችን በአልጋ ላይ ያመጡ ጀመር።

⁵⁶And whithersoever he entered, into villages, or cities, or country, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him that they might touch if it were but the border of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole.

⁵⁶በገባበትም ስፍራ ሁሉ፥ መንደርም ከተማም ገጠርም ቢሆን፥ በገበያ ድውዮችን ያኖሩ ነበር፤ የልብሱንም ጫፍ እንኳ ሊዳስሱ ይለምኑት ነበር የዳሰሱትም ሁሉ ዳኑ።
