¹Then was Jesus led up of the spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.

¹ከዚያ ወዲያ ኢየሱስ ከዲያብሎስ ይፈተን ዘንድ መንፈስ ወደ ምድረ በዳ ወሰደው፥

²And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.

²አርባ ቀንና አርባ ሌሊትም ከጦመ በኋላ ተራበ።

³And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.

³ፈታኝም ቀርቦ። የእግዚአብሔር ልጅ ከሆንህ፥ እነዚህ ድንጋዮች እንጀራ እንዲሆኑ በል አለው።

⁴But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

⁴እርሱም መልሶ። ሰው ከእግዚአብሔር አፍ በሚወጣ ቃል ሁሉ እንጂ በእንጀራ ብቻ አይኖርም ተብሎ ተጽፎአል አለው።

⁵Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,

⁵ከዚህ በኋላ ዲያቢሎስ ወደ ቅድስት ከተማ ወሰደውና እርሱን በመቅደስ ጫፍ ላይ አቁሞ።

⁶And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.

⁶መላእክቱን ስለ አንተ ያዝልሃል እግርህንም በድንጋይ ከቶ እንዳትሰናከል በእጃቸው ያነሡሃል ተብሎ ተጽፎአልና የእግዚአብሔር ልጅስ ከሆንህ፥ ወደ ታች ራስህን ወርውር አለው።

⁷Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

⁷ኢየሱስም። ጌታን አምላክህን አትፈታተነው ተብሎ ደግሞ ተጽፎአል አለው።

⁸Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;

⁸ደግሞ ዲያቢሎስ እጅግ ረጅም ወደ ሆነ ተራራ ወሰደው፥ የዓለምንም መንግሥታት ሁሉ ክብራቸውንም አሳይቶ።

⁹And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.

⁹ወድቀህ ብትሰግድልኝ ይህን ሁሉ እሰጥሃለሁ አለው።

¹⁰Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

¹⁰ያን ጊዜ ኢየሱስ። ሂድ፥ አንተ ሰይጣን ለጌታህ ለአምላክህ ስገድ እርሱንም ብቻ አምልክ ተብሎ ተጽፎአልና አለው።

¹¹Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.

¹¹ያን ጊዜ ዲያቢሎስ ተወው፥ እነሆም፥ መላእክት ቀርበው ያገለግሉት ነበር።

¹²Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee;

¹²ኢየሱስም ዮሐንስ አልፎ እንደ ተሰጠ በሰማ ጊዜ ወደ ገሊላ ፈቀቅ ብሎ ሄደ።

¹³And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim:

¹³ናዝሬትንም ትቶ በዛብሎንና በንፍታሌም አገር በባሕር አጠገብ ወደ አለችው ወደ ቅፍርናሆም መጥቶ ኖረ።

¹⁴That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,

¹⁴በነቢዩም በኢሳይያስ። የዛብሎን ምድርና የንፍታሌም ምድር፥ የባሕር መንገድ፥ በዮርዳኖስ ማዶ፥ የአሕዛብ ገሊላ፤ በጨለማ የተቀመጠው ሕዝብ ታላቅ ብርሃን አየ፥ በሞት አገርና ጥላ ለተቀመጡትም ብርሃን ወጣላቸው

¹⁵The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;

¹⁷የተባለው ይፈጸም ዘንድ ይህ ሆነ። ከዚያ ዘመን ጀምሮ ኢየሱስ። መንግሥተ ሰማያት ቀርባለችና ንስሐ ግቡ እያለ ይሰብክ ጀመር።

¹⁶The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.

¹⁸በገሊላ ባሕር አጠገብ ሲመላለስም ሁለት ወንድማማች ጴጥሮስ የሚሉትን ስምዖንን ወንድሙንም እንድርያስን መረባቸውን ወደ ባሕር ሲጥሉ አየ፥ ዓሣ አጥማጆች ነበሩና።

¹⁷From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

¹⁹እርሱም። በኋላዬ ኑና ሰዎችን አጥማጆች እንድትሆኑ አደርጋችኋለሁ አላቸው።

¹⁸And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.

²⁰ወዲያውም መረባቸውን ትተው ተከተሉት።

¹⁹And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.

²¹ከዚያም እልፍ ብሎ ሌሎችን ሁለት ወንድማማች የዘብዴዎስን ልጅ ያዕቆብን ወንድሙንም ዮሐንስን ከአባታቸው ከዘብዴዎስ ጋር በታንኳ መረባቸውን ሲያበጁ አየ፤ ጠራቸውም።

²⁰And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.

²²እነርሱም ወዲያው ታንኳይቱንና አባታቸውን ትተው ተከተሉት።

²¹And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them.

²³ኢየሱስም በምኩራቦቻቸው እያስተማረ የመንግሥትንም ወንጌል እየሰበከ በሕዝብም ያለውን ደዌና ሕማም ሁሉ እየፈወሰ በገሊላ ሁሉ ይዞር ነበር።

²²And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.

²⁴ዝናውም ወደ ሶርያ ሁሉ ወጣ፤ በልዩ ልዩ ደዌና ሥቃይም ተይዘው የታመሙትን ሁሉ አጋንንትም ያደሩባቸውን በጨረቃም የሚነሣባቸውን ሽባዎችንም ወደ እርሱ አመጡ፥ ፈወሳቸውም።

²³And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.

²⁵ከገሊላም ከአሥሩ ከተማም ከኢየሩሳሌምም ከይሁዳም ከዮርዳኖስም ማዶ ብዙ ሕዝብ ተከተሉት።

²⁴And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatick, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them.

²⁵And there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyond Jordan.
