¹Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying,

¹በዚያን ጊዜ ጻፎችና ፈሪሳውያን ከኢየሩሳሌም ወደ ኢየሱስ ቀረቡና።

²Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.

²ደቀ መዛሙርትህ ስለ ምን የሽማግሎችን ወግ ይተላለፋሉ? እንጀራ ሲበሉ እጃቸውን አይታጠቡምና አሉት።

³But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?

³እርሱም መልሶ እንዲህ አላቸው። እናንተስ ስለ ወጋችሁ የእግዚአብሔርን ትእዛዝ ስለ ምን ትተላለፋላችሁ?

⁴For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.

⁴እግዚአብሔር። አባትህንና እናትህን አክብር፤ ደግሞ። አባቱን ወይም እናቱን የሰደበ ፈጽሞ ይሙት ብሎአልና፤

⁵But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;

⁵እናንተ ግን። አባቱን ወይም እናቱን። ከእኔ የምትጠቀምበት መባ ነው የሚል ሁሉ፥

⁶And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.

⁶አባቱን ወይም እናቱን አያከብርም ትላላችሁ፤ ስለ ወጋችሁም የእግዚአብሔርን ቃል ሻራችሁ።

⁷Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,

⁷እናንተ ግብዞች፥ ኢሳይያስ ስለ እናንተ።

⁸This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.

⁸ይህ ሕዝብ በከንፈሩ ያከብረኛል፥ ልቡ ግን ከእኔ በጣም የራቀ ነው፤

⁹But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

⁹የሰውም ሥርዓት የሆነ ትምህርት እያስተማሩ በከንቱ ያመልኩኛል ብሎ በእውነት ትንቢት ተናገረ።

¹⁰And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:

¹⁰ሕዝቡንም ጠርቶ። ስሙ አስተውሉም፤

¹¹Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.

¹¹ሰውን የሚያረክሰው ወደ አፍ የሚገባ አይደለም፥ ከአፍ የሚወጣው ግን ሰውን የሚያረክሰው ይህ ነው አላቸው።

¹²Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?

¹²በዚያን ጊዜ ደቀ መዛሙርቱ ቀርበው። ፈሪሳውያን ይህን ቃል ሰምተው እንደ ተሰናከሉ አወቅህን? አሉት።

¹³But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.

¹³እርሱ ግን መልሶ። የሰማዩ አባቴ ያልተከለው ተክል ሁሉ ይነቀላል።

¹⁴Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.

¹⁴ተዉአቸው፤ ዕውሮችን የሚመሩ ዕውሮች ናቸው፤ ዕውርም ዕውርን ቢመራው ሁለቱም ወደ ጉድጓድ ይወድቃሉ አለ።

¹⁵Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable.

¹⁵ጴጥሮስም መልሶ። ምሳሌውን ተርጕምልን አለው።

¹⁶And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding?

¹⁶ኢየሱስም እንዲህ አለ። እናንተ ደግሞ እስካሁን የማታስተውሉ ናችሁን?

¹⁷Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?

¹⁷ወደ አፍ የሚገባ ሁሉ ወደ ሆድ አልፎ ወደ እዳሪ እንዲጣል አትመለከቱምን?

¹⁸But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.

¹⁸ከአፍ የሚወጣ ግን ከልብ ይወጣል፥ ሰውንም የሚያረክሰው ያ ነው።

¹⁹For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:

¹⁹ከልብ ክፉ አሳብ፥ መግደል፥ ምንዝርነት፥ ዝሙት፥ መስረቅ፥ በውሸት መመስከር፥ ስድብ ይወጣልና።

²⁰These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.

²⁰ሰውን የሚያረክሰው ይህ ነው እንጂ፥ ባልታጠበ እጅ መብላትስ ሰውን አያረክሰውም።

²¹Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.

²¹ኢየሱስም ከዚያ ወጥቶ ወደ ጢሮስና ወደ ሲዶና አገር ሄደ።

²²And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.

²²እነሆም፥ ከነናዊት ሴት ከዚያ አገር ወጥታ። ጌታ ሆይ፥ የዳዊት ልጅ፥ ማረኝ፤ ልጄን ጋኔን ክፉኛ ይዞአታል ብላ ጮኸች።

²³But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.

²³እርሱ ግን አንዳች አልመለሰላትም። ደቀ መዛሙርቱም ቀርበው። በኋላችን ትጮኻለችና አሰናብታት እያሉ ለመኑት።

²⁴But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

²⁴እርሱም መልሶ። ከእስራኤል ቤት ለጠፉት በጎች በቀር አልተላክሁም አለ።

²⁵Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.

²⁵እርስዋ ግን መጥታ። ጌታ ሆይ፥ እርዳኝ እያለች ሰገደችለት።

²⁶But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs.

²⁶እርሱ ግን መልሶ። የልጆችን እንጀራ ይዞ ለቡችሎች መጣል አይገባም አለ።

²⁷And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.

²⁷እርስዋም። አዎን ጌታ ሆይ፤ ቡችሎችም እኮ ከጌቶቻቸው ማዕድ የወደቀውን ፍርፋሪ ይበላሉ አለች።

²⁸Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.

²⁸በዚያን ጊዜ ኢየሱስ መልሶ። አንቺ ሴት፥ እምነትሽ ታላቅ ነው፤ እንደወደድሽ ይሁንልሽ አላት። ልጅዋም ከዚያች ሰዓት ጀምሮ ዳነች።

²⁹And Jesus departed from thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and went up into a mountain, and sat down there.

²⁹ኢየሱስም ከዚያ አልፎ ወደ ገሊላ ባሕር አጠገብ መጣ፥ ወደ ተራራም ወጥቶ በዚያ ተቀመጠ።

³⁰And great multitudes came unto him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus' feet; and he healed them:

³⁰ብዙ ሕዝብም አንካሶችን፥ ዕውሮችንም፥ ዲዳዎችንም፥ ጉንድሾችንም፥ ሌሎችንም ብዙ ይዘው ወደ እርሱ ቀረቡ፥ በኢየሱስም እግር አጠገብ ጣሉአቸው፤ ፈወሳቸውም፤

³¹Insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see: and they glorified the God of Israel.

³¹ስለዚህም ሕዝቡ ዲዳዎች ሲናገሩ፥ ጉንድሾችም ሲድኑ፥ አንካሶችም ሲሄዱ፥ ዕውሮችም ሲያዩ አይተው ተደነቁ፤ የእስራኤልንም አምላክ አከበሩ።

³²Then Jesus called his disciples unto him, and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way.

³²ኢየሱስም ደቀ መዛሙርቱን ጠርቶ። ሕዝቡ ከእኔ ጋር እስካሁን ሦስት ቀን ውለዋልና የሚበሉት ስለ ሌላቸው አዝንላቸዋለሁ፤ በመንገድም እንዳይዝሉ ጦማቸውን ላሰናብታቸው አልወድም አላቸው።

³³And his disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude?

³³ደቀ መዛሙርቱም። ይህን ያህል ሕዝብ የሚያጠግብ ይህን ያህል እንጀራ በምድረ በዳ ከወዴት እናገኛለን? አሉት።

³⁴And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes.

³⁴ኢየሱስም። ስንት እንጀራ አላችሁ? አላቸው። እነርሱም። ሰባት፥ ጥቂትም ትንሽ ዓሣ አሉት።

³⁵And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground.

³⁵ሕዝቡም በምድር ላይ እንዲቀመጡ አዘዘ፤

³⁶And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.

³⁶ሰባቱንም እንጀራ ዓሣውንም ይዞ አመሰገነ ቈርሶም ለደቀ መዛሙርቱ ሰጠ፥ ደቀ መዛሙርቱም ለሕዝቡ።

³⁷And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets full.

³⁷ሁሉም በሉና ጠገቡ፥ የተረፈውንም ቁርስራሽ ሰባት ቅርጫት ሙሉ አነሡ።

³⁸And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women and children.

³⁸የበሉትም ከሴቶችና ከልጆች በቀር አራት ሺህ ወንዶች ነበሩ።

³⁹And he sent away the multitude, and took ship, and came into the coasts of Magdala.

³⁹ሕዝቡንም ካሰናበተ በኋላ ወደ ታንኳይቱ ገብቶ ወደ መጌዶል አገር መጣ።
