¹And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said unto his disciples,

¹ኢየሱስም እነዚህን ቃሎች ሁሉ በፈጸመ ጊዜ፥

²Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.

²ለደቀ መዛሙርቱ። ከሁለት ቀን በኋላ ፋሲካ እንዲሆን ታውቃላችሁ፥ የሰው ልጅም ሊሰቀል አልፎ ይሰጣል አለ።

³Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,

³በዚያን ጊዜ የካህናት አለቆች የሕዝብም ሽማግሎች ቀያፋ በሚባለው በሊቀ ካህናቱ ግቢ ተሰበሰቡ፥

⁴And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill him.

⁴ኢየሱስንም በተንኰል ሊያስይዙት ሊገድሉትም ተማከሩ፤

⁵But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar among the people.

⁵ነገር ግን። በሕዝቡ ዘንድ ሁከት እንዳይነሣ በበዓል አይሁን አሉ።

⁶Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,

⁶ኢየሱስም በቢታንያ በለምጻሙ በስምዖን ቤት ሳለ፥

⁷There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat.

⁷አንዲት ሴት ዋጋው እጅግ የበዛ ሽቱ የሞላው የአልባስጥሮስ ብልቃጥ ይዛ ወደ እርሱ ቀረበች በማዕድም ተቀምጦ ሳለ በራሱ ላይ አፈሰሰችው።

⁸But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?

⁸ደቀ መዛሙርቱም ይህን አይተው ተቈጡና። ይህ ጥፋት ለምንድር ነው?

⁹For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.

⁹ይህ በብዙ ዋጋ ተሽጦ ለድሆች ሊሰጥ ይቻል ነበርና አሉ።

¹⁰When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.

¹⁰ኢየሱስም ይህን አውቆ እንዲህ አላቸው። መልካም ሥራ ሠርታልኛለችና ሴቲቱንስ ስለ ምን ታደክሙአታላችሁ?

¹¹For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.

¹¹ድሆች ሁልጊዜ ከእናንተ ጋር ይኖራሉና፥ እኔ ግን ሁልጊዜ ከእናንተ ጋር አልኖርም፤

¹²For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial.

¹²እርስዋ ይህን ሽቱ በሰውነቴ ላይ አፍስሳ ለመቃብሬ አደረገች።

¹³Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.

¹³እውነት እላችኋለሁ፥ ይህ ወንጌል በዓለም ሁሉ በማናቸውም ስፍራ በሚሰበክበት እርስዋ ያደረገችው ደግሞ ለእርስዋ መታሰቢያ እንዲሆን ይነገራል።

¹⁴Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests,

¹⁴በዚያን ጊዜ የአስቆሮቱ ይሁዳ የሚባለው ከአሥራ ሁለቱ አንዱ ወደ ካህናት አለቆች ሄዶ።

¹⁵And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.

¹⁵ምን ልትሰጡኝ ትወዳላችሁ እኔም አሳልፌ እሰጣችኋለሁ? እነርሱም ሠላሳ ብር መዘኑለት።

¹⁶And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.

¹⁶ከዚያችም ሰዓት ጀምሮ አሳልፎ ሊሰጠው ምቹ ጊዜ ይሻ ነበር።

¹⁷Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover?

¹⁷በቂጣው በዓል በመጀመሪያ ቀን ደቀ መዛሙርቱ ወደ ኢየሱስ ቀርበው። ፋሲካን ትበላ ዘንድ ወዴት ልናሰናዳልህ ትወዳለህ አሉት።

¹⁸And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples.

¹⁸እርሱም። ወደ ከተማ ከእገሌ ዘንድ ሄዳችሁ። መምህር። ጊዜዬ ቀርቦአል፤ ከደቀ መዛሙርቴ ጋር ከአንተ ዘንድ ፋሲካን አደርጋለሁ ይላል በሉት አለ።

¹⁹And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the passover.

¹⁹ደቀ መዛሙርቱም ኢየሱስ እንዳዘዛቸው አደረጉ ፋሲካንም አሰናዱ።

²⁰Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve.

²⁰በመሸም ጊዜ ከአሥራ ሁለቱ ደቀ መዛሙርቱ ጋር በማዕድ ተቀመጠ።

²¹And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.

²¹ሲበሉም። እውነት እላችኋለሁ፥ ከእናንተ አንዱ እኔን አሳልፎ ይሰጣል አለ።

²²And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I?

²²እጅግም አዝነው እያንዳንዱ። ጌታ ሆይ፥ እኔ እሆንን? ይሉት ጀመር።

²³And he answered and said, He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me.

²³እርሱም መልሶ። ከእኔ ጋር እጁን በወጭቱ ያጠለቀ፥ እኔን አሳልፎ የሚሰጥ እርሱ ነው።

²⁴The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born.

²⁴የሰው ልጅስ ስለ እርሱ እንደ ተጻፈ ይሄዳል፥ ነገር ግን የሰው ልጅ አልፎ ለሚሰጥበት ለዚያ ሰው ወዮለት፤ ያ ሰው ባልተወለደ ይሻለው ነበር አለ።

²⁵Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said.

²⁵አሳልፎ የሚሰጠው ይሁዳም መልሶ። መምህር ሆይ፥ እኔ እሆንን? አለ፤ አንተ አልህ አለው።

²⁶And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.

²⁶ሲበሉም ኢየሱስ እንጀራን አንሥቶ ባረከ ቈርሶም ለደቀ መዛሙርቱ ሰጠና። እንካችሁ፥ ብሉ ይህ ሥጋዬ ነው አለ።

²⁷And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;

²⁷ጽዋንም አንሥቶ አመስግኖም ሰጣቸው እንዲህም አለ። ሁላችሁ ከእርሱ ጠጡ፤

²⁸For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

²⁸ስለ ብዙዎች ለኃጢአት ይቅርታ የሚፈስ የአዲስ ኪዳን ደሜ ይህ ነው።

²⁹But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.

²⁹ነገር ግን እላችኋለሁ፥ በአባቴ መንግሥት ከእናንተ ጋር ከዚህ ከወይን ፍሬ አዲሱን እስከምጠጣበት እስከዚያ ቀን ድረስ ከዛሬ ጀምሬ አልጠጣውም።

³⁰And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.

³⁰መዝሙርም ከዘመሩ በኋላ ወደ ደብረ ዘይት ወጡ።

³¹Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad.

³¹በዚያን ጊዜ ኢየሱስ። በዚች ሌሊት ሁላችሁ በእኔ ትሰናከላላችሁ፤ እረኛውን እመታለሁ የመንጋውም በጎች ይበተናሉ የሚል ተጽፎአልና፤

³²But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee.

³²ከተነሣሁ በኋላ ግን ወደ ገሊላ እቀድማችኋለሁ አላቸው።

³³Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended.

³³ጴጥሮስም መልሶ። ሁሉም በአንተ ቢሰናከሉ እኔ ከቶ አልሰናከልም አለው።

³⁴Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.

³⁴ኢየሱስ። እውነት እልሃለሁ፥ በዚች ሌሊት ዶሮ ሳይጮኽ ሦስት ጊዜ ትክደኛለህ አለው።

³⁵Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.

³⁵ጴጥሮስ። ከአንተ ጋር መሞት እንኳ የሚያስፈልገኝ ቢሆን፥ ከቶ አልክድህም አለው። ደቀ መዛሙርቱ ሁሉ ደግሞ እንደዚሁ አሉ።

³⁶Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder.

³⁶በዚያን ጊዜ ኢየሱስ ከእነርሱ ጋር ጌቴሴማኒ ወደምትባል ስፍራ መጣ ደቀ መዛሙርቱንም። ወዲያ ሄጄ ስጸልይ ሳለ በዚህ ተቀመጡ አላቸው።

³⁷And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.

³⁷ጴጥሮስንም ሁለቱንም የዘብዴዎስን ልጆች ወስዶ ሊያዝን ሊተክዝም ጀመር።

³⁸Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.

³⁸ነፍሴ እስከ ሞት ድረስ እጅግ አዘነች፤ በዚህ ቆዩ ከእኔም ጋር ትጉ አላቸው።

³⁹And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.

³⁹ጥቂትም ወደ ፊት እልፍ ብሎ በፊቱ ወደቀና ሲጸልይ። አባቴ፥ ቢቻልስ፥ ይህች ጽዋ ከእኔ ትለፍ፤ ነገር ግን አንተ እንደምትወድ ይሁን እንጂ እኔ እንደምወድ አይሁን አለ።

⁴⁰And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?

⁴⁰ወደ ደቀ መዛሙርቱም መጣ፤ ተኝተውም አገኛቸውና ጴጥሮስን። እንዲሁም ከእኔ ጋር አንዲት ሰዓት እንኳ ልትተጉ አልቻላችሁምን?

⁴¹Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

⁴¹ወደ ፈተና እንዳትገቡ ትጉና ጸልዩ፤ መንፈስስ ተዘጋጅታለች ሥጋ ግን ደካማ ነው አለው።

⁴²He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.

⁴²ደግሞ ሁለተኛ ሄዶ ጸለየና። አባቴ፥ ይህች ጽዋ ሳልጠጣት ታልፍ ዘንድ የማይቻል እንደ ሆነ፥ ፈቃድህ ትሁን አለ።

⁴³And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy.

⁴³ደግሞም መጥቶ ዓይኖቻቸው በእንቅልፍ ከብደው ነበርና ተኝተው አገኛቸው።

⁴⁴And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.

⁴⁴ደግሞም ትቶአቸው ሄደ፥ ሦስተኛም ያንኑ ቃል ደግሞ ጸለየ።

⁴⁵Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

⁴⁵ከዚያ ወዲያ ወደ ደቀ መዛሙርቱ መጥቶ። እንግዲህስ ተኙ ዕረፉም፤ እነሆ፥ ሰዓቲቱ ቀርባለች የሰው ልጅም በኃጢአተኞች እጅ አልፎ ይሰጣል።

⁴⁶Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray me.

⁴⁶ተነሡ፥ እንሂድ፤ እነሆ፥ አሳልፎ የሚሰጠኝ ቀርቦአል አላቸው።

⁴⁷And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people.

⁴⁷ይህንም ገና ሲናገር፥ እነሆ፥ ከአሥራ ሁለቱ አንዱ ይሁዳ መጣ፥ ከእርሱም ጋር ብዙ ሕዝብ ሰይፍና ጐመድ ይዘው ከካህናት አለቆችና ከሕዝቡ ሽማግሎች ዘንድ መጡ።

⁴⁸Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast.

⁴⁸አሳልፎ የሚሰጠውም። የምስመው እርሱ ነው፤ ያዙት ብሎ ምልክት ሰጥቶአቸው ነበር።

⁴⁹And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and kissed him.

⁴⁹ወዲያውም ወደ ኢየሱስ ቀረበና። መምህር ሆይ፥ ሰላም ለአንተ ይሁን ብሎ ሳመው።

⁵⁰And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus and took him.

⁵⁰ኢየሱስም። ወዳጄ ሆይ፥ ለምን ነገር መጣህ? አለው። በዚያን ጊዜ ቀረቡ እጃቸውንም በኢየሱስ ላይ ጭነው ያዙት።

⁵¹And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest's, and smote off his ear.

⁵¹እነሆም፥ ከኢየሱስ ጋር ከነበሩት አንዱ እጁን ዘርግቶ ሰይፉን መዘዘና የሊቀ ካህናቱን ባሪያ መትቶ ጆሮውን ቈረጠው።

⁵²Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.

⁵²በዚያን ጊዜ ኢየሱስ እንዲህ አለው። ሰይፍ የሚያነሡ ሁሉ በሰይፍ ይጠፋሉና ሰይፍህን ወደ ስፍራው መልስ።

⁵³Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?

⁵³ወይስ አባቴን እንድለምን እርሱም አሁን ከአሥራ ሁለት ጭፍሮች የሚበዙ መላእክት እንዲሰድልኝ የማይቻል ይመስልሃልን?

⁵⁴But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?

⁵⁴እንዲህ ከሆነስ። እንደዚህ ሊሆን ይገባል የሚሉ መጻሕፍት እንዴት ይፈጸማሉ?

⁵⁵In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a thief with swords and staves for to take me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold on me.

⁵⁵በዚያን ሰዓት ኢየሱስ ለሕዝቡ። ወንበዴን እንደምትይዙ ሰይፍና ጐመድ ይዛችሁ ልትይዙኝ ወጣችሁን? በመቅደስ ዕለት ዕለት እያስተማርሁ ከእናንተ ጋር ስቀመጥ ሳለሁ አልያዛችሁኝም።

⁵⁶But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.

⁵⁶ነገር ግን ይህ ሁሉ የሆነ የነቢያት መጻሕፍት ይፈጸሙ ዘንድ ነው አለ። በዚያን ጊዜ ደቀ መዛሙርቱ ሁሉ ትተውት ሸሹ።

⁵⁷And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.

⁵⁷ኢየሱስን የያዙትም ጻፎችና ሽማግሎች ወደ ተከማቹበት ወደ ሊቀ ካህናቱ ወደ ቀያፋ ወሰዱት።

⁵⁸But Peter followed him afar off unto the high priest's palace, and went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end.

⁵⁸ጴጥሮስ ግን እስከ ሊቀ ካህናቱ ግቢ ድረስ ሩቅ ሆኖ ተከተለው፥ የነገሩንም ፍጻሜ ያይ ዘንድ ወደ ውስጥ ገብቶ ከሎሌዎቹ ጋር ተቀመጠ።

⁵⁹Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death;

⁵⁹የካህናት አለቆችና ሽማግሎች ሸንጐውም ሁሉ እንዲገድሉት በኢየሱስ ላይ የሐሰት ምስክር ይፈልጉ ነበር፥ አላገኙም፤

⁶⁰But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses,

⁶⁰ብዙም የሐሰት ምስክሮች ምንም ቢቀርቡ አላገኙም።

⁶¹And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.

⁶¹በኋላም ሁለት ቀርበው። ይህ ሰው። የእግዚአብሔርን ቤተ መቅደስ አፍርሼ በሦስት ቀን ልሠራው እችላለሁ ብሎአል አሉ።

⁶²And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?

⁶²ሊቀ ካህናቱም ተነሥቶ። እነዚህ ለሚመሰክሩብህ አንድ ስንኳ አትመልስምን? አለው።

⁶³But Jesus held his peace, And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God.

⁶³ኢየሱስ ግን ዝም አለ። ሊቀ ካህናቱም። አንተ የእግዚአብሔር ልጅ ክርስቶስ የሆንህ እንደ ሆነ እንድትነግረን በሕያው እግዚአብሔር አምልሃለሁ አለው።

⁶⁴Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.

⁶⁴ኢየሱስም። አንተ አልህ ነገር ግን እላችኋለሁ፥ ከእንግዲህ ወዲህ የሰው ልጅ በኃይል ቀኝ ሲቀመጥ በሰማይም ደመና ሲመጣ ታያላችሁ አለው።

⁶⁵Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy.

⁶⁵በዚያን ጊዜ ሊቀ ካህናቱ ልብሱን ቀዶ። ተሳድቦአል እንግዲህ ወዲህ ምስክሮች ስለ ምን ያስፈልገናል? እነሆ፥ ስድቡን አሁን ሰምታችኋል፤ ምን ይመስላችኋል? አለ።

⁶⁶What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of death.

⁶⁶እነርሱም። ሞት ይገባዋል ብለው መለሱ።

⁶⁷Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands,

⁶⁷በዚያን ጊዜ በፊቱ ተፉበት፤ ጐሰሙትም፥ ሌሎችም በጥፊ መትተው። ክርስቶስ ሆይ፥ በጥፊ የመታህ ማን ነው?

⁶⁸Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote thee?

⁶⁸ትንቢት ተናገርልን አሉ።

⁶⁹Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee.

⁶⁹ጴጥሮስም ከቤት ውጭ በአጥሩ ግቢ ተቀምጦ ነበር፤ አንዲት ገረድም ወደ እርሱ ቀርባ። አንተ ደግሞ ከገሊላው ከኢየሱስ ጋር ነበርህ አለችው።

⁷⁰But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest.

⁷⁰እርሱ ግን። የምትዪውን አላውቀውም ብሎ በሁሉ ፊት ካደ።

⁷¹And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said unto them that were there, This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth.

⁷¹ወደ በሩም ሲወጣ ሌላይቱ አየችውና በዚያ ላሉት። ይህ ደግሞ ከናዝሬቱ ከኢየሱስ ጋር ነበረ አለች።

⁷²And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man.

⁷²ዳግመኛም ሲምል። ሰውየውን አላውቀውም ብሎ ካደ።

⁷³And after a while came unto him they that stood by, and said to Peter, Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech bewrayeth thee.

⁷³ጥቂትም ቈይተው በዚያ ቆመው የነበሩ ቀርበው ጴጥሮስን። አነጋገርህ ይገልጥሃልና በእውነት አንተ ደግሞ ከእነርሱ ወገን ነህ አሉት።

⁷⁴Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew.

⁷⁴በዚያን ጊዜ። ሰውየውን አላውቀውም ብሎ ሊራገምና ሊምል ጀመረ። ወዲያውም ዶሮ ጮኸ።

⁷⁵And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.

⁷⁵ጴጥሮስም። ዶሮ ሳይጮኽ ሦስት ጊዜ ትክደኛለህ ያለው የኢየሱስ ቃል ትዝ አለው፤ ወደ ውጭም ወጥቶ መራራ ልቅሶ አለቀሰ።
