¹And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, turned back from the Jordan, and was brought in the Spirit to the wilderness,

¹ኢየሱስም መንፈስ ቅዱስ መልቶበት ከዮርዳኖስ ተመለሰ፥ በመንፈስም ወደ ምድረ በዳ ተመርቶ፥

²forty days being tempted by the Devil, and he did not eat anything in those days, and they having been ended, he afterward hungered,

²አርባ ቀን ከዲያብሎስ ተፈተነ። በነዚያም ቀኖች ምንም አልበላም፥ ከተጨረሱም በኋላ ተራበ።

³and the Devil said to him, `If Son thou art of God, speak to this stone that it may become bread.`

³ዲያብሎስም። የእግዚአብሔር ልጅ ከሆንህ፥ ይህን ድንጋይ። እንጀራ ሁን ብለህ እዘዝ አለው።

⁴And Jesus answered him, saying, `It hath been written, that, not on bread only shall man live, but on every saying of God.`

⁴ኢየሱስም። ሰው በእግዚአብሔር ቃል ሁሉ እንጂ በእንጀራ ብቻ አይኖርም ተብሎ ተጽፎአል ብሎ መለሰለት።

⁵And the Devil having brought him up to an high mountain, shewed to him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time,

⁵ዲያብሎስም ረጅም ወደ ሆነ ተራራ አውጥቶ የዓለምን መንግሥታት ሁሉ በቅጽበት አሳየው።

⁶and the Devil said to him, `To thee I will give all this authority, and their glory, because to me it hath been delivered, and to whomsoever I will, I do give it;

⁶ዲያብሎስም። ይህ ሥልጣን ሁሉ ክብራቸውም ለእኔ ተሰጥቶአል ለምወደውም ለማንም እሰጠዋለሁና ለአንተ እሰጥሃለሁ፤

⁷thou, then, if thou mayest bow before me — all shall be thine.`

⁷ስለዚህ አንተ በእኔ ፊት ብትሰግድ፥ ሁሉ ለአንተ ይሆናል አለው።

⁸And Jesus answering him said, `Get thee behind me, Adversary, for it hath been written, Thou shalt bow before the Lord thy God, and Him only thou shalt serve.`

⁸ኢየሱስም መልሶ። ለጌታ ለአምላክህ ስገድ እርሱንም ብቻ አምልክ ተብሎ ተጽፎአል አለው።

⁹And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, `If the Son thou art of God, cast thyself down hence,

⁹ወደ ኢየሩሳሌም ደግሞ ወሰደው፤ በመቅደስም ጫፍ ላይ አቁሞ። ይጠብቁህ ዘንድ መላእክቱን ስለ አንተ ያዝልሃል፥ እግርህንም በድንጋይ ከቶ እንዳትሰናከል በእጃቸው ያነሡሃል ተብሎ ተጽፎአልና የእግዚአብሔር ልጅስ ከሆንህ፥ ከዚህ ወደ ታች ራስህን ወርውር አለው።

¹⁰for it hath been written — To His messengers He will give charge concerning thee, to guard over thee,

¹²ኢየሱስም መልሶ። ጌታን አምላክህን አትፈታተነው ተብሎአል አለው።

¹¹and — On hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou mayest dash against a stone thy foot.`

¹³ዲያቢሎስም ፈተናውን ሁሉ ከጨረሰ በኋላ እስከ ጊዜው ከእርሱ ተለየ።

¹²And Jesus answering said to him — `It hath been said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.`

¹⁴ኢየሱስም በመንፈስ ኃይል ወደ ገሊላ ተመለሰ፤ ስለ እርሱም በዙሪያው ባለችው አገር ሁሉ ዝና ወጣ።

¹³And having ended all temptation, the Devil departed from him till a convenient season.

¹⁵እርሱም በምኵራባቸው ያስተምር፥ ሁሉም ያመሰግኑት ነበር።

¹⁴And Jesus turned back in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and a fame went forth through all the region round about concerning him,

¹⁶ወዳደገበትም ወደ ናዝሬት መጣ፤ እንደ ልማዱም በሰንበት ቀን ወደ ምኵራብ ገባ፥ ሊያነብም ተነሣ።

¹⁵and he was teaching in their synagogues, being glorified by all.

¹⁷የነቢዩንም የኢሳይያስን መጽሐፍ ሰጡት፥ መጽሐፉንም በተረተረ ጊዜ። የጌታ መንፈስ በእኔ ላይ ነው፥ ለድሆች ወንጌልን እሰብክ ዘንድ ቀብቶኛልና፤ ለታሰሩትም መፈታትን ለዕውሮችም ማየትን እሰብክ ዘንድ፥ የተጠቁትንም ነጻ አወጣ ዘንድ የተወደደችውንም የጌታን ዓመት እሰብክ ዘንድ ልኮኛል ተብሎ የተጻፈበትን ስፍራ አገኘ።

¹⁶And he came to Nazareth, where he hath been brought up, and he went in, according to his custom, on the sabbath-day, to the synagogue, and stood up to read;

²⁰መጽሐፉንም ጠቅልሎ ለአገልጋዩ ሰጠውና ተቀመጠ፤ በምኵራብም የነበሩት ሁሉ ትኵር ብለው ይመለከቱት ነበር።

¹⁷and there was given over to him a roll of Isaiah the prophet, and having unfolded the roll, he found the place where it hath been written:

²¹እርሱም። ዛሬ ይህ መጽሐፍ በጆሮአችሁ ተፈጸመ ይላቸው ጀመር።

¹⁸`The Spirit of the Lord [is] upon me, Because He did anoint me; To proclaim good news to the poor, Sent me to heal the broken of heart, To proclaim to captives deliverance, And to blind receiving of sight, To send away the bruised with deliverance,

²²ሁሉም ይመሰክሩለት ነበር ከአፉም ከሚወጣው ከጸጋው ቃል የተነሣ እየተደነቁ። ይህ የዮሴፍ ልጅ አይደለምን? ይሉ ነበር።

¹⁹To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.`

²³እርሱም። ያለ ጥርጥር ይህን ምሳሌ። ባለ መድኃኒት ሆይ፥ ራስህን ፈውስ፤ በቅፍርናሆም እንዳደረግኸው የሰማነውን ሁሉ በዚህ በገዛ አገርህ ደግሞ አድርግ ትሉኛላችሁ አላቸው።

²⁰And having folded the roll, having given [it] back to the officer, he sat down, and the eyes of all in the synagogue were gazing on him.

²⁴እንዲህም አለ። እውነት እላችኋለሁ፥ ነቢይ በገዛ አገሩ ከቶ አይወደድም።

²¹And he began to say unto them — `To-day hath this writing been fulfilled in your ears;`

²⁵ነገር ግን እውነት እላችኋለሁ፥ በኤልያስ ዘመን ሦስት ዓመት ከስድስት ወር ሰማይ ተዘግቶ ሳለ በምድር ሁሉ ብርቱ ራብ በነበረ ጊዜ፥ በእስራኤል ብዙ መበለቶች ነበሩ፤

²²and all were bearing testimony to him, and were wondering at the gracious words that are coming forth out of his mouth, and they said, `Is not this the son of Joseph?`

²⁶ኤልያስም በሲዶና አገር ወዳለች ወደ ሰራፕታ ወደ አንዲት መበለት እንጂ ከእነርሱ ወደ አንዲቱ አልተላከም።

²³And he said unto them, `Certainly ye will say to me this simile, Physician, heal thyself; as great things as we heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country;`

²⁷በነቢዩ በኤልሳዕ ዘመንም በእስራኤል ብዙ ለምጻሞች ነበሩ፥ ከሶርያዊው ከንዕማን በቀር ከእነርሱ አንድ ስንኳ አልነጻም።

²⁴and he said, `Verily I say to you — No prophet is accepted in his own country;

²⁸በምኵራብም የነበሩ ሁሉ ይህን ሰምተው ቍጣ ሞላባቸው፥ ተነሥተውም ከከተማ ወደ ውጭ አወጡት፥

²⁵and of a truth I say to you, Many widows were in the days of Elijah, in Israel, when the heaven was shut for three years and six months, when great famine came on all the land,

²⁹ይጥሉትም ዘንድ ከተማቸው ተሠርታባት ወደ ነበረች ወደ ተራራው አፋፍ ወሰዱት፤

²⁶and unto none of them was Elijah sent, but — to Sarepta of Sidon, unto a woman, a widow;

³⁰እርሱ ግን በመካከላቸው አልፎ ሄደ።

²⁷and many lepers were in the time of Elisha the prophet, in Israel, and none of them was cleansed, but — Naaman the Syrian.`

³¹ወደ ገሊላ ከተማም ወደ ቅፍርናሆም ወረደ። በሰንበትም ያስተምራቸው ነበር፤

²⁸And all in the synagogue were filled with wrath, hearing these things,

³²ቃሉ በሥልጣን ነበርና በትምህርቱ ተገረሙ።

²⁹and having risen, they put him forth without the city, and brought him unto the brow of the hill on which their city had been built — to cast him down headlong,

³³በምኵራብም የርኵስ ጋኔን መንፈስ ያደረበት ሰው ነበረ፥ በታላቅ ድምፅም ጮኾ።

³⁰and he, having gone through the midst of them, went away.

³⁴ተው፥ የናዝሬቱ ኢየሱስ ሆይ፥ ከአንተ ጋር ምን አለን? ልታጠፋን መጣህን? ማን እንደ ሆንህ አውቄሃለሁ፥ አንተ የእግዚአብሔር ቅዱሱ አለ።

³¹And he came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and was teaching them on the sabbaths,

³⁵ኢየሱስም። ዝም በል ከእርሱም ውጣ ብሎ ገሠጸው። ጋኔኑም በመካከላቸው ጥሎት ሳይጐዳው ከእርሱ ወጣ።

³²and they were astonished at his teaching, because his word was with authority.

³⁶ሁሉንም መደነቅ ያዛቸው፥ እርስ በርሳቸውም። ይህ ቃል ምንድር ነው? በሥልጣንና በኃይል ርኵሳን መናፍስትን ያዝዛልና፥ ይወጡማል ብለው ተነጋገሩ።

³³And in the synagogue was a man, having a spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried out with a great voice,

³⁷ዝናም በዙሪያው ባለች አገር ወደ ስፍራው ሁሉ ስለ እርሱ ወጣ።

³⁴saying, `Away, what — to us and to thee, Jesus, O Nazarene? thou didst come to destroy us; I have known thee who thou art — the Holy One of God.`

³⁸በምኵራብም ተነሥቶ ወደ ስምዖን ቤት ገባ። የስምዖንም አማት በብርቱ ንዳድ ታማ ነበር ስለ እርስዋም ለመኑት።

³⁵And Jesus did rebuke him, saying, `Be silenced, and come forth out of him;` and the demon having cast him into the midst, came forth from him, having hurt him nought;

³⁹በአጠገብዋም ቆሞ ንዳዱን ገሠጸውና ለቀቃት፤ ያንጊዜውንም ተነሥታ አገለገለቻቸው።

³⁶and amazement came upon all, and they were speaking together, with one another, saying, `What [is] this word, that with authority and power he doth command the unclean spirits, and they come forth?`

⁴⁰ፀሐይም በገባ ጊዜ በልዩ ልዩ ደዌ የተያዙ በሽተኞችን ሁሉ ወደ እርሱ አመጡአቸው፤ እርሱም በእያንዳቸው ላይ እጁን ጭኖ ፈወሳቸው።

³⁷and there was going forth a fame concerning him to every place of the region round about.

⁴¹አጋንንትም ደግሞ። አንተ ክርስቶስ የእግዚአብሔር ልጅ ነህ እያሉ እየጮኹም ከብዙዎች ይወጡ ነበር፤ ገሠጻቸውም ክርስቶስም እንደ ሆነ አውቀውት ነበርና እንዲናገሩ አልፈቀደላቸውም።

³⁸And having risen out of the synagogue, he entered into the house of Simon, and the mother-in-law of Simon was pressed with a great fever, and they did ask him about her,

⁴²በጸባም ጊዜ ወጥቶ ወደ ምድረ በዳ ሄደ፤ ሕዝቡም ይፈልጉት ነበር፤ ወደ እርሱም መጡ፥ ከእነርሱም ተለይቶ እንዳይሄድ ሊከለክሉት ወደዱ።

³⁹and having stood over her, he rebuked the fever, and it left her, and presently, having risen, she was ministering to them.

⁴³እርሱ ግን። ስለዚህ ተልኬአለሁና ለሌሎቹ ከተማዎች ደግሞ የእግዚአብሔርን መንግሥት ወንጌል እሰብክ ዘንድ ይገባኛል አላቸው።

⁴⁰And at the setting of the sun, all, as many as had any ailing with manifold sicknesses, brought them unto him, and he on each one of them [his] hands having put, did heal them.

⁴⁴በገሊላም ምኵራቦች ይሰብክ ነበር።

⁴¹And demons also were coming forth from many, crying out and saying — `Thou art the Christ, the Son of God;` and rebuking, he did not suffer them to speak, because they knew him to be the Christ.

⁴²And day having come, having gone forth, he went on to a desert place, and the multitudes were seeking him, and they came unto him, and were staying him — not to go on from them,

⁴³and he said unto them — `Also to the other cities it behoveth me to proclaim good news of the reign of God, because for this I have been sent;`

⁴⁴and he was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.
