¹At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn and to eat.

¹በዚያን ጊዜ ኢየሱስ በሰንበት ቀን በእርሻ መካከል አለፈ፤ ደቀ መዛሙርቱም ተራቡና እሸት ይቀጥፉ ይበሉም ጀመር።

²But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day.

²ፈሪሳውያንም አይተው። እነሆ፥ ደቀ መዛሙርትህ በሰንበት ማድረግ ያልተፈቀደውን ያደርጋሉ አሉት።

³But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him;

³እርሱ ግን እንዲህ አላቸው። ዳዊትና ከእርሱ ጋር የነበሩት በተራቡ ጊዜ፥ እርሱ ያደረገውን፥ ወደ እግዚአብሔር ቤት እንደ ገባ ካህናትም ብቻ እንጂ እርሱና ከእርሱ ጋር የነበሩት ሊበሉት ያልተፈቀደውን የመሥዋዕቱን ኅብስት እንደ በላ አላነበባችሁምን?

⁴How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with him, but only for the priests?

⁵ካህናትም በሰንበት በመቅደስ ሰንበትን እንዲያረክሱ ኃጢአትም እንዳይሆንባቸው በሕጉ አላነበባችሁምን?

⁵Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?

⁶ነገር ግን እላችኋለሁ፥ ከመቅደስ የሚበልጥ ከዚህ አለ።

⁶But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the temple.

⁷ምሕረትን እወዳለሁ መሥዋዕትንም አይደለም ያለው ምን እንደሆነ ብታውቁስ ኃጢአት የሌለባቸውን ባልኰነናችሁም ነበር።

⁷But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.

⁸የሰው ልጅ የሰንበት ጌታ ነውና።

⁸For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.

⁹ከዚያም አልፎ ወደ ምኩራባቸው ገባ።

⁹And when he was departed thence, he went into their synagogue:

¹⁰እነሆም፥ እጁ የሰለለች ሰው ነበረ፤ ይከሱትም ዘንድ። በሰንበት መፈወስ ተፈቅዶአልን? ብለው ጠየቁት።

¹⁰And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him.

¹¹እርሱ ግን። ከእናንተ አንድ በግ ያለው በሰንበት በጉድጓድ ቢወድቅበት፥ ይዞ የማያወጣው ሰው ማን ነው?

¹¹And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?

¹²እንግዲህ ሰው ከበግ ይልቅ እንደምን አይበልጥም! ስለዚህ በሰንበት መልካም መሥራት ተፈቅዶአል አላቸው።

¹²How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.

¹³ከዚያም በኋላ ሰውየውን። እጅህን ዘርጋ አለው። ዘረጋትም፥ እንደ ሁለተኛይቱም ደህና ሆነች።

¹³Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other.

¹⁴ፈሪሳውያን ግን ወጥተው እንዴት አድርገው እንዲያጠፉት ተማከሩበት።

¹⁴Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him.

¹⁵ኢየሱስም አውቆ ከዚያ ፈቀቅ አለ። ብዙ ሰዎችም ተከተሉት፥ ሁሉንም ፈወሳቸው፥ እንዳይገልጡትም አዘዛቸው፤

¹⁵But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from thence: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all;

¹⁶በነቢዩ በኢሳይያስ የተባለው ይፈጸም ዘንድ እንዲህ ሲል።

¹⁶And charged them that they should not make him known:

¹⁸እነሆ የመረጥሁት ብላቴናዬ፥ ነፍሴ ደስ የተሰኘችበት ወዳጄ፤ መንፈሴን በእርሱ ላይ አኖራለሁ፥ ፍርድንም ለአሕዛብ ያወራል።

¹⁷That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,

¹⁹አይከራከርም አይጮህምም፥ ድምፁንም በአደባባይ የሚሰማ የለም።

¹⁸Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles.

²⁰ፍርድን ድል ለመንሣት እስኪያወጣ፥ የተቀጠቀጠን ሸምበቆ አይሰብርም የሚጤስን የጥዋፍ ክርም አያጠፋም።

¹⁹He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets.

²¹አሕዛብም በስሙ ተስፋ ያደርጋሉ።

²⁰A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.

²²ከዚህም በኋላ ጋኔን ያደረበትን ዕውር ዲዳም ወደ እርሱ አመጡ፤ ዕውሩም ዲዳውም እስኪያይና እስኪናገር ድረስ ፈወሰው።

²¹And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.

²³ሕዝቡም ሁሉ ተገረሙና። እንጃ ይህ ሰው የዳዊት ልጅ ይሆንን? አሉ።

²²Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw.

²⁴ፈሪሳውያን ግን ሰምተው። ይህ በብዔል ዜቡል በአጋንንት አለቃ ካልሆነ በቀር አጋንንትን አያወጣም አሉ።

²³And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David?

²⁵ኢየሱስ ግን አሳባቸውን አውቆ እንዲህ አላቸው። እርስ በርስዋ የምትለያይ መንግሥት ሁላ ትጠፋለች፥ እርስ በርሱ የሚለያይ ከተማም ሁሉ ወይም ቤት አይቆምም።

²⁴But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.

²⁶ሰይጣንም ሰይጣንን የሚያወጣ ከሆነ፥ እርስ በርሱ ተለያየ፥ እንግዲህ መንግሥቱ እንዴት ትቆማለች?

²⁵And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:

²⁷እኔስ በብዔል ዜቡል አጋንንትን የማወጣ ከሆንሁ፥ ልጆቻችሁ በማን ያወጡአቸዋል? ስለዚህ እነርሱ ፈራጆች ይሆኑባችኋል።

²⁶And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?

²⁸እኔ ግን በእግዚአብሔር መንፈስ አጋንንትን የማወጣ ከሆንሁ፥ እንግዲህ የእግዚአብሔር መንግሥት ወደ እናንተ ደርሳለች።

²⁷And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.

²⁹ወይስ ሰው አስቀድሞ ኃይለኛውን ሳያስር ወደ ኃይለኛው ቤት ገብቶ እቃውን ሊነጥቀው እንዴት ይችላል? ከዚያም ወዲያ ቤቱን ይበዘብዛል።

²⁸But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.

³⁰ከእኔ ጋር ያልሆነ ይቃወመኛል፥ ከእኔ ጋርም የማያከማች ይበትናል።

²⁹Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.

³¹ስለዚህ እላችኋለሁ፥ ኃጢአትና ስድብ ሁሉ ለሰዎች ይሰረይላቸዋል፥ ነገር ግን መንፈስ ቅዱስን ለሰደበ አይሰረይለትም።

³⁰He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.

³²በሰው ልጅ ላይ ቃል የሚናገር ሁሉ ይሰረይለታል፤ በመንፈስ ቅዱስ ላይ ግን የሚናገር ሁሉ በዚህ ዓለም ቢሆን ወይም በሚመጣው አይሰረይለትም።

³¹Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.

³³ዛፍ ከፍሬዋ ትታወቃለችና ዛፍዋን መልካም፥ ፍሬዋንም መልካም አድርጉ፥ ወይም ዛፍዋን ክፉ ፍሬዋንም ክፉ አድርጉ።

³²And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.

³⁴እናንተ የእፉኝት ልጆች፥ ክፉዎች ስትሆኑ መልካም ለመናገር እንዴት ትችላላችሁ? በልብ ሞልቶ ከተረፈው አፍ ይናገራልና።

³³Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.

³⁵መልካም ሰው ከልቡ መልካም መዝገብ መልካም ነገርን ያወጣል፥ ክፉ ሰውም ከክፉ መዝገብ ክፉ ነገርን ያወጣል።

³⁴O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

³⁶እኔ እላችኋለሁ፥ ሰዎች ስለሚናገሩት ስለ ከንቱ ነገር ሁሉ በፍርድ ቀን መልስ ይሰጡበታል፤

³⁵A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.

³⁷ከቃልህ የተነሣ ትጸድቃለህና ከቃልህም የተነሣ ትኰነናለህ።

³⁶But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.

³⁸በዚያን ጊዜ ከጻፎችና ከፈሪሳውያን አንዳንዶቹ መለሱና። መምህር ሆይ፥ ከአንተ ምልክት እንድናይ እንወዳለን አሉ።

³⁷For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

³⁹እርሱ ግን መልሶ እንዲህ አላቸው። ክፉና አመንዝራ ትውልድ ምልክት ይሻል፥ ከነቢዩም ከዮናስ ምልክት በቀር ምልክት አይሰጠውም።

³⁸Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.

⁴⁰ዮናስ በዓሣ አንባሪ ሆድ ሦስት ቀንና ሦስት ሌሊት እንደ ነበረ፥ እንዲሁ የሰው ልጅ በምድር ልብ ሦስት ቀንና ሦስት ሌሊት ይኖራል።

³⁹But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:

⁴¹የነነዌ ሰዎች በፍርድ ቀን ከዚህ ትውልድ ጋር ተነሥተው ይፈርዱበታል፤ በዮናስ ስብከት ንስሐ ገብተዋልና፥ እነሆም፥ ከዮናስ የሚበልጥ ከዚህ አለ።

⁴⁰For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

⁴²ንግሥተ ዓዜብ በፍርድ ቀን ከዚህ ትውልድ ጋር ተነሥታ ትፈርድበታለች፤ የሰሎሞንን ጥበብ ለመስማት ከምድር ዳር መጥታለችና፥ እነሆም፥ ከሰሎሞን የሚበልጥ ከዚህ አለ።

⁴¹The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.

⁴³ርኩስ መንፈስ ግን ከሰው በወጣ ጊዜ፥ ዕረፍት እየፈለገ ውኃ በሌለበት ቦታ ያልፋል፥ አያገኝምም።

⁴²The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.

⁴⁴በዚያን ጊዜም። ወደ ወጣሁበት ቤቴ እመለሳለሁ ይላል፤ ቢመጣም ባዶ ሆኖ ተጠርጎና አጊጦ ያገኘዋል።

⁴³When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.

⁴⁵ከዚያ ወዲያ ይሄድና ከእርሱ የከፉትን ሰባት ሌሎችን አጋንንት ከእርሱ ጋር ይወስዳል፥ ገብተውም በዚያ ይኖራሉ፤ ለዚያም ሰው ከፊተኛው ይልቅ የኋለኛው ይብስበታል። ለዚህ ክፉ ትውልድ ደግሞ እንዲሁ ይሆንበታል።

⁴⁴Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.

⁴⁶ገናም ለሕዝቡ ሲናገር፥ እነሆ፥ እናቱና ወንድሞቹ ሊነጋገሩት ፈልገው በውጭ ቆመው ነበር።

⁴⁵Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.

⁴⁷አንዱም። እነሆ፥ እናትህና ወንድሞችህ ሊነጋገሩህ ፈልገው በውጭ ቆመዋል አለው።

⁴⁶While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him.

⁴⁸እርሱ ግን ለነገረው መልሶ። እናቴ ማን ናት? ወንድሞቼስ እነማን ናቸው? አለው።

⁴⁷Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.

⁴⁹እጁንም ወደ ደቀ መዛሙርቱ ዘርግቶ። እነሆ እናቴና ወንድሞቼ፤

⁴⁸But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?

⁵⁰በሰማያት ያለውን የአባቴን ፈቃድ የሚያደርግ ሁሉ፥ እርሱ ወንድሜ እኅቴም እናቴም ነውና አለ።

⁴⁹And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!

⁵⁰For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
