¹The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven.

¹ፈሪሳውያንና ሰዱቃውያንም ቀርበው ሲፈትኑት ከሰማይ ምልክት እንዲያሳያቸው ለመኑት።

²He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.

²እርሱ ግን መልሶ እንዲህ አላቸው። በመሸ ጊዜ። ሰማዩ ቀልቶአልና ብራ ይሆናል ትላላችሁ፤

³And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowering. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?

³ማለዳም። ሰማዩ ደምኖ ቀልቶአልና ዛሬ ይዘንባል ትላላችሁ። የሰማዩን ፊትማ መለየት ታውቃላችሁ፥ የዘመኑንስ ምልክት መለየት አትችሉምን?

⁴A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed.

⁴ክፉና አመንዝራ ትውልድ ምልክት ይሻል፥ ከነቢዩም ከዮናስ ምልክት በቀር ምልክት አይሰጠውም። ትቶአቸውም ሄደ።

⁵And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.

⁵ደቀ መዛሙርቱም ወደ ማዶ በመጡ ጊዜ እንጀራ መያዝን ረሱ።

⁶Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.

⁶ኢየሱስም። ከፈሪሳውያንና ከሰዱቃውያን እርሾ ተጠንቀቁና ተጠበቁ አላቸው።

⁷And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have taken no bread.

⁷እነርሱም። እንጀራ ባንይዝ ነው ብለው እርስ በርሳቸው ተነጋገሩ።

⁸Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread?

⁸ኢየሱስም አውቆ እንዲህ አላቸው። እናንተ እምነት የጐደላችሁ፥ እንጀራ ስለ ሌላችሁ ስለ ምን እርስ በርሳችሁ ትነጋገራላችሁ? ገና አታስተውሉምን?

⁹Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?

⁹ለአምስቱ ሺህ አምስቱ እንጀራ፥ ስንት መሶብም እንዳነሣችሁ ትዝ አይላችሁምን?

¹⁰Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?

¹⁰ወይስ ለአራቱ ሺህ ሰባቱ እንጀራ፥ ስንት ቅርጫትም እንዳነሣችሁ ትዝ አይላችሁምን?

¹¹How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?

¹¹ከፈሪሳውያንና ከሰዱቃውያን እርሾ እንድትጠበቁ ብዬ ስለ እንጀራ እንዳልተናገርኋችሁ እንዴት አታስተውሉምን?

¹²Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.

¹²እነርሱም ከፈሪሳውያንና ከሰዱቃውያን ትምህርት እንጂ ከእንጀራ እርሾ እንዲጠበቁ እንዳላላቸው ያን ጊዜ አስተዋሉ።

¹³When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?

¹³ኢየሱስም ወደ ፊልጶስ ቂሣርያ አገር በደረሰ ጊዜ ደቀ መዛሙርቱን። ሰዎች የሰውን ልጅ ማን እንደ ሆነ ይሉታል? ብሎ ጠየቀ።

¹⁴And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.

¹⁴እነርሱም። አንዳንዱ መጥምቁ ዮሐንስ፥ ሌሎችም ኤልያስ፥ ሌሎችም ኤርምያስ ወይም ከነቢያት አንዱ ነው ይላሉ አሉት።

¹⁵He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?

¹⁵እርሱም። እናንተስ እኔን ማን እንደ ሆንሁ ትላላችሁ? አላቸው።

¹⁶And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.

¹⁶ስምዖን ጴጥሮስም መልሶ። አንተ ክርስቶስ የሕያው እግዚአብሔር ልጅ ነህ አለ።

¹⁷And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.

¹⁷ኢየሱስም መልሶ እንዲህ አለው። የዮና ልጅ ስምዖን ሆይ፥ በሰማያት ያለው አባቴ እንጂ ሥጋና ደም ይህን አልገለጠልህምና ብፁዕ ነህ።

¹⁸And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

¹⁸እኔም እልሃለሁ፥ አንተ ጴጥሮስ ነህ፥ በዚችም ዓለት ላይ ቤተ ክርስቲያኔን እሠራለሁ፥ የገሃነም ደጆችም አይችሉአትም።

¹⁹And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

¹⁹የመንግሥተ ሰማያትንም መክፈቻዎች እሰጥሃለሁ፤ በምድር የምታስረው ሁሉ በሰማያት የታሰረ ይሆናል፥ በምድርም የምትፈታው ሁሉ በሰማያት የተፈታ ይሆናል።

²⁰Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.

²⁰ያን ጊዜም እርሱ ክርስቶስ እንደ ሆነ ለማንም እንዳይነግሩ ደቀ መዛሙርቱን አዘዛቸው።

²¹From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.

²¹ከዚያን ቀን ጀምሮ ኢየሱስ ወደ ኢየሩሳሌም ይሄድ ዘንድ ከሽማግሎችና ከካህናት አለቆች ከጻፎችም ብዙ መከራ ይቀበልና ይገደል ዘንድ በሦስተኛውም ቀን ይነሣ ዘንድ እንዲገባው ለደቀ መዛሙርቱ ይገልጥላቸው ጀመር።

²²Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee.

²²ጴጥሮስም ወደ እርሱ ወስዶ። አይሁንብህ ጌታ ሆይ፤ ይህ ከቶ አይደርስብህም ብሎ ሊገሥጸው ጀመረ።

²³But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.

²³እርሱ ግን ዘወር ብሎ ጴጥሮስን። ወደ ኋላዬ ሂድ፥ አንተ ሰይጣን፤ የሰውን እንጂ የእግዚአብሔርን አታስብምና ዕንቅፋት ሆነህብኛል አለው።

²⁴Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

²⁴በዚያን ጊዜ ኢየሱስ ለደቀ መዛሙርቱ እንዲህ አለ። እኔን መከተል የሚወድ ቢኖር፥ ራሱን ይካድ መስቀሉንም ተሸክሞ ይከተለኝ።

²⁵For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.

²⁵ነፍሱን ሊያድን የሚወድ ሁሉ ያጠፋታል፤ ስለ እኔ ግን ነፍሱን የሚያጠፋ ሁሉ ያገኛታል።

²⁶For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

²⁶ሰው ዓለሙን ሁሉ ቢያተርፍ ነፍሱንም ቢያጐድል ምን ይጠቅመዋል? ወይስ ሰው ስለ ነፍሱ ቤዛ ምን ይሰጣል?

²⁷For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.

²⁷የሰው ልጅ ከመላእክቱ ጋር በአባቱ ክብር ይመጣ ዘንድ አለውና፤ ያን ጊዜም ለሁሉ እንደ ሥራው ያስረክበዋል።

²⁸Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

²⁸እውነት እላችኋለሁ፥ የሰው ልጅ በመንግሥቱ ሲመጣ እስኪያዩ ድረስ እዚህ ከሚቆሙት ሞትን የማይቀምሱ አንዳንድ አሉ።
