¹And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these sayings, he departed from Galilee, and came into the coasts of Judaea beyond Jordan;

¹ኢየሱስም ይህን ነገር ከፈጸመ በኋላ፥ ከገሊላ ሄዶ ወደ ይሁዳ አውራጃ ወደ ዮርዳኖስ ማዶ መጣ።

²And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there.

²ብዙ ሕዝብም ተከተሉት፥ በዚያም ፈወሳቸው።

³The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?

³ፈሪሳውያንም ወደ እርሱ ቀረቡና ሲፈትኑት። ሰው በሆነው ምክንያት ሁሉ ሚስቱን ሊፈታ ተፈቅዶለታልን? አሉት።

⁴And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,

⁴እርሱ ግን መልሶ እንዲህ አለ። ፈጣሪ በመጀመሪያ ወንድና ሴት አደረጋቸው፥

⁵And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?

⁵አለም። ስለዚህ ሰው አባቱንና እናቱን ይተዋል፥ ከሚስቱም ጋር ይተባበራል፥ ሁለቱም አንድ ሥጋ ይሆናሉ የሚለውን ቃል አላነበባችሁምን?

⁶Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

⁶ስለዚህ አንድ ሥጋ ናቸው እንጂ ወደ ፊት ሁለት አይደሉም። እግዚአብሔር ያጣመረውን እንግዲህ ሰው አይለየው።

⁷They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?

⁷እነርሱም። እንኪያስ ሙሴ የፍችዋን ጽሕፈት ሰጥተው እንዲፈቱአት ስለ ምን አዘዘ? አሉት።

⁸He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.

⁸እርሱም። ሙሴስ ስለ ልባችሁ ጥንካሬ ሚስቶቻችሁን ትፈቱ ዘንድ ፈቀደላችሁ፤ ከጥንት ግን እንዲህ አልነበረም።

⁹And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.

⁹እኔ ግን እላችኋለሁ፥ ያለ ዝሙት ምክንያት ሚስቱን ፈትቶ ሌላዪቱን የሚያገባ ሁሉ ያመነዝራል፥ የተፈታችውንም የሚያገባ ያመነዝራል አላቸው።

¹⁰His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry.

¹⁰ደቀ መዛሙርቱም። የባልና የሚስት ሥርዓት እንዲህ ከሆነ መጋባት አይጠቅምም አሉት።

¹¹But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given.

¹¹እርሱ ግን። ይህ ነገር ለተሰጣቸው ነው እንጂ ለሁሉ አይደለም፤

¹²For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.

¹²በእናት ማኅፀን ጃንደረቦች ሆነው የተወለዱ አሉ፥ ሰውም የሰለባቸው ጃንደረቦች አሉ፥ ስለ መንግሥተ ሰማያትም ራሳቸውን የሰለቡ ጃንደረቦች አሉ። ሊቀበለው የሚችል ይቀበለው አላቸው።

¹³Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.

¹³በዚያን ጊዜ እጁን እንዲጭንባቸውና እንዲጸልይ ሕፃናትን ወደ እርሱ አመጡ፤ ደቀ መዛሙርቱም ገሠጹአቸው።

¹⁴But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

¹⁴ነገር ግን ኢየሱስ። ሕፃናትን ተዉአቸው፥ ወደ እኔም ይመጡ ዘንድ አትከልክሉአቸው፤ መንግሥተ ሰማያት እንደነዚህ ላሉ ናትና አለ፤

¹⁵And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence.

¹⁵እጁንም ጫነባቸውና ከዚያ ሄደ።

¹⁶And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?

¹⁶እነሆም፥ አንድ ሰው ቀርቦ። መምህር ሆይ፥ የዘላለምን ሕይወት እንዳገኝ ምን መልካም ነገር ላድርግ? አለው።

¹⁷And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.

¹⁷እርሱም። ስለ መልካም ነገር ለምን ትጠይቀኛለህ? መልካም የሆነ አንድ ነው፤ ወደ ሕይወት መግባት ብትወድ ግን ትእዛዛትን ጠብቅ አለው።

¹⁸He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,

¹⁸እርሱም። የትኞችን? አለው። ኢየሱስም። አትግደል፥ አታመንዝር፥ አትስረቅ፥ በሐሰት አትመስክር፥

¹⁹Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

¹⁹አባትህንና እናትህን አክብር፥ ባልንጀራህንም እንደ ራስህ ውደድ አለው።

²⁰The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?

²⁰ጐበዙም። ይህንማ ሁሉ ከሕፃንነቴ ጀምሬ ጠብቄአለሁ፥ ደግሞስ የሚጐድለኝ ምንድር ነው? አለው።

²¹Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.

²¹ኢየሱስም። ፍጹም ልትሆን ብትወድ፥ ሂድና ያለህን ሸጠህ ለድሆች ስጥ፥ መዝገብም በሰማያት ታገኛለህ፥ መጥተህም ተከተለኝ አለው።

²²But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.

²²ጐበዙም ይህን ቃል በሰማ ጊዜ ብዙ ንብረት ነበረውና እያዘነ ሄደ።

²³Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.

²³ኢየሱስም ለደቀ መዛሙርቱ። እውነት እላችኋለሁ፥ ለባለጠጋ ወደ መንግሥተ ሰማያት መግባት ጭንቅ ነው።

²⁴And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

²⁴ዳግመኛም እላችኋለሁ፥ ባለጠጋ ወደ እግዚአብሔር መንግሥት ከሚገባ ግመል በመርፌ ቀዳዳ ቢገባ ይቀላል አለ።

²⁵When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?

²⁵ደቀ መዛሙርቱም ሰምተው እጅግ ተገረሙና። እንኪያስ ማን ሊድን ይችላል? አሉ።

²⁶But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

²⁶ኢየሱስም እነርሱን ተመልክቶ። ይህ በሰው ዘንድ አይቻልም በእግዚአብሔር ዘንድ ግን ሁሉ ይቻላል አላቸው።

²⁷Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?

²⁷በዚያን ጊዜ ጴጥሮስ መልሶ። እነሆ፥ እኛ ሁሉን ትተን ተከተልንህ፤ እንኪያስ ምን እናገኝ ይሆን? አለው።

²⁸And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

²⁸ኢየሱስም እንዲህ አላቸው። እውነት እላችኋለሁ፥ እናንተስ የተከተላችሁኝ፥ በዳግመኛ ልደት የሰው ልጅ በክብሩ ዙፋን በሚቀመጥበት ጊዜ፥ እናንተ ደግሞ በአሥራ ሁለቱ የእስራኤል ነገድ ስትፈርዱ በአሥራ ሁለት ዙፋን ትቀመጣላችሁ።

²⁹And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.

²⁹ስለ ስሜም ቤቶችን ወይም ወንድሞችን ወይም እኅቶችን ወይም አባትን ወይም እናትን ወይም ሚስትን ወይም ልጆችን ወይም እርሻን የተወ ሁሉ መቶ እጥፍ ይቀበላል የዘላለምንም ሕይወት ይወርሳል።

³⁰But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.

³⁰ነገር ግን ብዙዎቹ ፊተኞች ኋለኞች፥ ኋለኞችም ፊተኞች ይሆናሉ።
