¹In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples unto him, and saith unto them,

¹በዚያ ወራት ደግሞ ብዙ ሕዝብ ነበረ የሚበሉትም ስለሌላቸው ደቀ መዛሙርቱን ጠርቶ።

²I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat:

²ሕዝቡ ከእኔ ጋር እስካሁን ሦስት ቀን ውለዋልና የሚበሉት ስለሌላቸው አዝንላቸዋለሁ፤

³And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for divers of them came from far.

³ከእነርሱም አንዳንዶቹ ከሩቅ መጥተዋልና ጦማቸውን ወደ ቤታቸው ባሰናብታቸው በመንገድ ይዝላሉ አላቸው።

⁴And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these men with bread here in the wilderness?

⁴ደቀ መዛሙርቱም። በዚህ በምድረ በዳ እንጀራ ከየት አግኝቶ ሰው እነዚህን ማጥገብ ይችላል? ብለው መለሱለት።

⁵And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.

⁵እርሱም። ስንት እንጀራ አላችሁ? ብሎ ጠየቃቸው፥ እነርሱም። ሰባት አሉት።

⁶And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to his disciples to set before them; and they did set them before the people.

⁶ሕዝቡም በምድር እንዲቀመጡ አዘዘ። ሰባቱንም እንጀራ ይዞ አመሰገነ፥ ቈርሶም እንዲያቀርቡላቸው ለደቀ መዛሙርቱ ሰጠ፥ ለሕዝቡም አቀረቡ።

⁷And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded to set them also before them.

⁷ጥቂትም ትንሽ ዓሣ ነበራቸው፤ ባረከውም ይህንም ደግሞ እንዲያቀርቡላቸው አዘዘ።

⁸So they did eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets.

⁸በሉም ጠገቡም፥ የተረፈውንም ቍርስራሽ ሰባት ቅርጫት አነሡ።

⁹And they that had eaten were about four thousand: and he sent them away.

⁹የበሉትም አራት ሺህ ያህል ነበሩ።

¹⁰And straightway he entered into a ship with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha.

¹⁰አሰናበታቸውም። ወዲያውም ከደቀ መዛሙርቱ ጋር ወደ ታንኳይቱ ገብቶ ወደ ዳልማኑታ አገር መጣ።

¹¹And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him.

¹¹ፈሪሳውያንም ወጡና ሊፈትኑት ከሰማይ ምልክት ከእርሱ ፈልገው ከእርሱ ጋር ይከራከሩ ጀመር።

¹²And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek after a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation.

¹²በመንፈሱም እጅግ ቃተተና። ይህ ትውልድ ስለ ምን ምልክት ይፈልጋል? እውነት እላችኋለሁ፥ ለዚህ ትውልድ ምልክት አይሰጠውም አለ።

¹³And he left them, and entering into the ship again departed to the other side.

¹³ትቶአቸውም እንደ ገና ወደ ታንኳይቱ ገብቶ ወደ ማዶ ሄደ።

¹⁴Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, neither had they in the ship with them more than one loaf.

¹⁴እንጀራ መያዝም ረሱ፥ ለእነርሱም ከአንድ እንጀራ በቀር በታንኳይቱ አልነበራቸውም።

¹⁵And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod.

¹⁵እርሱም። ተጠንቀቁ፤ ከፈሪሳውያንና ከሄሮድስ እርሾ ተጠበቁ ብሎ አዘዛቸው።

¹⁶And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have no bread.

¹⁶እርስ በርሳቸውም። እንጀራ ስለሌለን ይሆናል ብለው ተነጋገሩ።

¹⁷And when Jesus knew it, he saith unto them, Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither understand? have ye your heart yet hardened?

¹⁷ኢየሱስም አውቆ እንዲህ አላቸው። እንጀራ ስለሌላችሁ ስለ ምን ትነጋገራላችሁ? ገና አልተመለከታችሁምን? አላስተዋላችሁምን?

¹⁸Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?

¹⁸ልባችሁስ ደንዝዞአልን? ዓይን ሳላችሁ አታዩምን? ጆሮስ ሳላችሁ አትሰሙምን? ትዝስ አይላችሁምን?

¹⁹When I brake the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say unto him, Twelve.

¹⁹አምስቱን እንጀራ ለአምስት ሺህ በቈረስሁ ጊዜ፥ ቍርስራሹ የሞላ ስንት መሶብ አነሣችሁ? እነርሱም። አሥራ ሁለት አሉት።

²⁰And when the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven.

²⁰ሰባቱን እንጀራስ ለአራት ሺህ በቈረስሁ ጊዜ፥ ቍርስራሹ የሞላ ስንት ቅርጫት አነሣችሁ? እነርሱም። ሰባት አሉት።

²¹And he said unto them, How is it that ye do not understand?

²¹ገና አላስተዋላችሁምን? አላቸው።

²²And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him.

²²ወደ ቤተ ሳይዳም መጡ። ዕውርም አመጡለት፥ እንዲዳስሰውም ለመኑት።

²³And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought.

²³ዕውሩንም እጁን ይዞ ከመንደር ውጭ አወጣው፥ በዓይኑም ተፍቶበት እጁንም ጭኖበት። አንዳች ታያለህን ብሎ ጠየቀው።

²⁴And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.

²⁴አሻቅቦም። ሰዎች እንደ ዛፍ ሲመላለሱ አያለሁ አለ።

²⁵After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.

²⁵ከዚህም በኋላ ደግሞ እጁን በዓይኑ ላይ ጫነበት አጥርቶም አየና ዳነም ከሩቅም ሳይቀር ሁሉን ተመለከተ።

²⁶And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the town, nor tell it to any in the town.

²⁶ወደ ቤቱም ሰደደውና። ወደ መንደሩ አትግባ በመንደሩም ለማንም አንዳች አትናገር አለው።

²⁷And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of Caesarea Philippi: and by the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Whom do men say that I am?

²⁷ኢየሱስና ደቀ መዛሙርቱም በፊልጶስ ቂሣርያ ወዳሉ መንደሮች ወጡ በመንገድም። ሰዎች እኔ ማን እንደ ሆንሁ ይላሉ? ብሎ ደቀ መዛሙርቱን ጠየቃቸው።

²⁸And they answered, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias; and others, One of the prophets.

²⁸እነርሱም። መጥምቁ ዮሐንስ፥ ሌሎችም ኤልያስ፥ ሌሎችም ከነቢያት አንዱ ብለው ነገሩት።

²⁹And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ.

²⁹እናንተስ እኔ ማን እንደ ሆንሁ ትላላችሁ? ብሎ ጠየቃቸው። ጴጥሮስም። አንተ ክርስቶስ ነህ ብሎ መለሰለት።

³⁰And he charged them that they should tell no man of him.

³⁰ስለ እርሱም ለማንም እንዳይናገሩ አዘዛቸው።

³¹And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.

³¹የሰው ልጅ ብዙ መከራ ሊቀበል፥ ከሽማግሌዎችም ከካህናት አለቆችም ከጻፎችም ሊጣል፥ ሊገደልም ከሦስት ቀንም በኋላ ሊነሣ እንዲገባው ያስተምራቸው ጀመር፤ ቃሉንም ገልጦ ይናገር ነበር።

³²And he spake that saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.

³²ጴጥሮስም ወደ እርሱ ወስዶ ይገሥጸው ጀመር።

³³But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men.

³³እርሱ ግን ዘወር አለ ደቀ መዛሙርቱንም አይቶ ጴጥሮስን ገሠጸውና። ወደ ኋላዬ ሂድ፥ አንተ ሰይጣን፤ የሰውን እንጂ የእግዚአብሔርን ነገር አታስብምና አለው።

³⁴And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

³⁴ሕዝቡንም ከደቀ መዛሙርቱ ጋር ጠርቶ እንዲህ አላቸው። በኋላዬ ሊመጣ የሚወድ ቢኖር፥ ራሱን ይካድ መስቀሉንም ተሸክሞ ይከተለኝ።

³⁵For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.

³⁵ነፍሱን ሊያድን የሚወድ ሁሉ ያጠፋታልና፥ ስለ እኔና ስለ ወንጌል ነፍሱን የሚያጠፋ ሁሉ ግን ያድናታል።

³⁶For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

³⁶ሰው ዓለምን ሁሉ ቢያተርፍ ነፍሱንም ቢያጐድል ምን ይጠቅመዋል?

³⁷Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

³⁷ሰውስ ስለ ነፍሱ ቤዛ ምን ይሰጣል?

³⁸Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

³⁸በዚህም በዘማዊና በኃጢአተኛ ትውልድ መካከል በእኔና በቃሌ የሚያፍር ሁሉ፥ የሰው ልጅ ደግሞ በአባቱ ክብር ከቅዱሳን መላእክት ጋር በመጣ ጊዜ በእርሱ ያፍርበታል።
