¹And it came to pass thereafter, that he was going through every city and village, preaching and proclaiming good news of the reign of God, and the twelve [are] with him,

¹ከዚህም በኋላ እየሰበከና ስለ እግዚአብሔር መንግሥት የምሥራች እየተናገረ በየከተማይቱ በየመንደሩም ያልፍ ነበር፤

²and certain women, who were healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary who is called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone forth,

²አሥራ ሁለቱም ከእርሱ ጋር ነበሩ፥ ከክፉዎች መናፍስትና ከደዌም ተፈውሰው የነበሩ አንዳንድ ሴቶች፤ እነርሱም ሰባት አጋንንት የወጡላት መግደላዊት የምትባል ማርያም፥

³and Joanna wife of Chuza, steward of Herod, and Susanna, and many others, who were ministering to him from their substance.

³የሄሮድስ አዛዥ የኩዛ ሚስት ዮሐናም ሶስናም ብዙዎች ሌሎችም ሆነው በገንዘባቸው ያገለግሉት ነበር።

⁴And a great multitude having gathered, and those who from city and city were coming unto him, he spake by a simile:

⁴ብዙ ሕዝብም በተሰበሰቡ ጊዜ ከከተማዎችም ሁሉ ወደ እርሱ በመጡ ጊዜ በምሳሌ እንዲህ ሲል ተናገራቸው።

⁵`The sower went forth to sow his seed, and in his sowing some indeed fell beside the way, and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the heaven did devour it.

⁵ዘሪ ዘሩን ሊዘራ ወጣ። ሲዘራም አንዳንዱ በመንገድ ዳር ወደቀ ተረገጠም፥ የሰማይ ወፎችም በሉት።

⁶`And other fell upon the rock, and having sprung up, it did wither, through not having moisture.

⁶ሌላውም በዓለት ላይ ወደቀ፥ በበቀለም ጊዜ እርጥበት ስላልነበረው ደረቀ።

⁷`And other fell amidst the thorns, and the thorns having sprung up with it, did choke it.

⁷ሌላውም በእሾህ መካከል ወደቀ፥ እሾሁም አብሮ በቀለና አነቀው።

⁸`And other fell upon the good ground, and having sprung up, it made fruit an hundred fold.` These things saying, he was calling, `He having ears to hear — let him hear.`

⁸ሌላውም በመልካም መሬት ላይ ወደቀ፤ በበቀለም ጊዜ መቶ እጥፍ አፈራ። ይህን በተናገረ ጊዜ። የሚሰማ ጆሮ ያለው ይስማ ብሎ ጮኸ።

⁹And his disciples were questioning him, saying, `What may this simile be?`

⁹ደቀ መዛሙርቱም። ይህ ምሳሌ ምንድር ነው? ብለው ጠየቁት።

¹⁰And he said, `To you it hath been given to know the secrets of the reign of God, and to the rest in similes; that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.

¹⁰እርሱም እንዲህ አለ። ለእናንተ የእግዚአብሔርን መንግሥት ምሥጢር ማወቅ ተሰጥቶአችኋል፤ ለሌሎች ግን እያዩ እንዳያዩ እየሰሙም እንዳያስተውሉ በምሳሌ ነው።

¹¹`And this is the simile: The seed is the word of God,

¹¹ምሳሌው ይህ ነው። ዘሩ የእግዚአብሔር ቃል ነው።

¹²and those beside the way are those hearing, then cometh the Devil, and taketh up the word from their heart, lest having believed, they may be saved.

¹²በመንገድ ዳርም ያሉት የሚሰሙ ናቸው፤ ከዚህ በኋላም ዲያብሎስ ይመጣል አምነውም እንዳይድኑ ቃሉን ከልባቸው ይወስዳል።

¹³`And those upon the rock: They who, when they may hear, with joy do receive the word, and these have no root, who for a time believe, and in time of temptation fall away.

¹³በዓለት ላይም ያሉት ሲሰሙ ቃሉን በደስታ የሚቀበሉ ናቸው፤ እነርሱም ለጊዜው ብቻ ያምናሉ እንጂ በፈተና ጊዜ የሚክዱ ሥር የሌላቸው ናቸው።

¹⁴`And that which fell to the thorns: These are they who have heard, and going forth, through anxieties, and riches, and pleasures of life, are choked, and bear not to completion.

¹⁴በእሾህ መካከልም የወደቀ እነዚህ የሚሰሙት ናቸው፤ መንገዳቸውንም ሄደው በሕይወት ዘመን በአሳብና በባለ ጠግነት ምቾት ይታነቃሉ፥ ሙሉ ፍሬም አያፈሩም።

¹⁵`And that in the good ground: These are they, who in an upright and good heart, having heard the word, do retain [it], and bear fruit in continuance.

¹⁵በመልካም መሬት ላይም የወደቀ እነርሱ በመልካምና በበጎ ልብ ቃሉን ሰምተው የሚጠብቁት በመጽናትም ፍሬ የሚያፈሩ ናቸው።

¹⁶`And no one having lighted a lamp doth cover it with a vessel, or under a couch doth put [it]; but upon a lamp-stand he doth put [it], that those coming in may see the light,

¹⁶መብራትንም አብርቶ በዕቃ የሚከድነው ወይም ከአልጋ በታች የሚያኖረው የለም፥ የሚገቡት ሰዎች ብርሃኑን እንዲያዩ በመቅረዝ ላይ ያኖረዋል እንጂ።

¹⁷for nothing is secret, that shall not become manifest, nor hid, that shall not be known, and become manifest.

¹⁷የማይገለጥ የተሰወረ የለምና፥ የማይታወቅም ወደ ግልጥም የማይመጣ የተሸሸገ የለም።

¹⁸`See, therefore, how ye hear, for whoever may have, there shall be given to him, and whoever may not have, also what he seemeth to have, shall be taken from him.`

¹⁸እንግዲህ እንዴት እንድትሰሙ ተጠበቁ፤ ላለው ሁሉ ይሰጠዋልና፥ ከሌለውም ሁሉ፥ ያው ያለው የሚመስለው እንኳ ይወሰድበታል።

¹⁹And there came unto him his mother and brethren, and they were not able to get to him because of the multitude,

¹⁹እናቱና ወንድሞቹም ወደ እርሱ መጡ፥ ከሕዝቡም ብዛት የተነሣ ሊያገኙት አልተቻላቸውም።

²⁰and it was told him, saying, `Thy mother and thy brethren do stand without, wishing to see thee;`

²⁰እናትህና ወንድሞችህ ሊያዩህ ወድደው በውጭ ቆመዋል ብለው ነገሩት።

²¹and he answering said unto them, `My mother and my brethren! they are those who the word of God are hearing, and doing.`

²¹እርሱም መልሶ። እናቴና ወንድሞቼስ የእግዚአብሔርን ቃል ሰምተው የሚያደርጉት እነዚህ ናቸው አላቸው።

²²And it came to pass, on one of the days, that he himself went into a boat with his disciples, and he said unto them, `We may go over to the other side of the lake;` and they set forth,

²²ከዕለታቱም በአንዱ እርሱ ከደቀ መዛሙርቱ ጋር ወደ ታንኳ ገብቶ። ወደ ባሕር ማዶ እንሻገር አላቸው፤ ተነሡም።

²³and as they are sailing he fell deeply asleep, and there came down a storm of wind to the lake, and they were filling, and were in peril.

²³ሲሄዱም አንቀላፋ። ዓውሎ ነፋስም በባሕር ላይ ወረደ፥ ውኃውም ታንኳይቱን ይሞላ ነበርና ይጨነቁ ነበር።

²⁴And having come near, they awoke him, saying, `Master, master, we perish;` and he, having arisen, rebuked the wind and the raging of the water, and they ceased, and there came a calm,

²⁴ቀርበውም። አቤቱ፥ አቤቱ ጠፋን እያሉ አስነሡት። እርሱም ነቅቶ ነፋሱንና የውኃውን ማዕበል ገሠጻቸው፤ ተዉም፥ ጽጥታም ሆነ።

²⁵and he said to them, `Where is your faith?` and they being afraid did wonder, saying unto one another, `Who, then, is this, that even the winds he doth command, and the water, and they obey him?`

²⁵እርሱም። እምነታችሁ የት ነው? አላቸው። ፈርተውም ተደነቁ፥ እርስ በርሳቸውም። እንዲህ ነፋሳትንና ውኃን እንኳ የሚያዝ ለእርሱም የሚታዘዙለት ይህ ማን ነው? አሉ።

²⁶And they sailed down to the region of the Gadarenes, that is over-against Galilee,

²⁶በገሊላም አንጻር ወዳለችው ወደ ጌርጌሴኖን አገር በታንኳ ደረሱ።

²⁷and he having gone forth upon the land, there met him a certain man, out of the city, who had demons for a long time, and with a garment was not clothed, and in a house was not abiding, but in the tombs,

²⁷ወደ ምድርም በወጣ ጊዜ አጋንንት ያደሩበት አንድ ሰው ከከተማ ወጥቶ ተገናኘው፥ ከብዙ ዘመንም ጀምሮ ልብስ ሳይለብስ በመቃብር እንጂ በቤት አይኖርም ነበር።

²⁸and having seen Jesus, and having cried out, he fell before him, and with a loud voice, said, `What — to me and to thee, Jesus, Son of God Most High? I beseech thee, mayest thou not afflict me!`

²⁸ኢየሱስንም ባየ ጊዜ ጮኾ በፊቱ ተደፋ በታላቅ ድምፅም። የልዑል እግዚአብሔር ልጅ ኢየሱስ ሆይ፥ ከአንተ ጋር ምን አለኝ? እንዳትሣቀየኝ እለምንሃለሁ አለ።

²⁹For he commanded the unclean spirit to come forth from the man, for many times it had caught him, and he was being bound with chains and fetters — guarded, and breaking asunder the bonds he was driven by the demons to the deserts.

²⁹ርኵሱን መንፈስ ከሰውዬው እንዲወጣ ያዘው ነበርና። ብዙ ዘመንም ይዞት ነበርና፥ በሰንሰለትና በእግር ብረትም ታስሮ ይጠበቅ ነበር፤ እስራቱንም ሰብሮ በጋኔኑ ወደ ምድረ በዳ ይነዳ ነበር።

³⁰And Jesus questioned him, saying, `What is thy name?` and he said, `Legion,` (because many demons were entered into him,)

³⁰ኢየሱስም። ስምህ ማን ነው? ብሎ ጠየቀው። እርሱም ብዙዎች አጋንንት ገብተውበት ነበርና። ሌጌዎን አለው።

³¹and he was calling on him, that he may not command them to go away to the abyss,

³¹ወደ ጥልቁም ሊሄዱ እንዳያዛቸው ለመኑት።

³²and there was there a herd of many swine feeding in the mountain, and they were calling on him, that he might suffer them to enter into these, and he suffered them,

³²በዚያም በተራራው የብዙ እሪያ መንጋ ይሰማሩ ነበር፤ ወደ እነርሱም ሊገቡ እንዲፈቅድላቸው ለመኑት፤ ፈቀደላቸውም።

³³and the demons having gone forth from the man, did enter into the swine, and the herd rushed down the steep to the lake, and were choked.

³³አጋንንትም ከሰውዬው ወጥተው ወደ እሪያዎች ገቡ፥ መንጋውም ከአፋፉ ወደ ባሕር ተጣደፉና ሰጠሙ።

³⁴And those feeding [them], having seen what was come to pass, fled, and having gone, told [it] to the city, and to the fields;

³⁴እረኞችም የሆነውን ባዩ ጊዜ ሸሽተው በከተማውና በአገሩ አወሩት።

³⁵and they came forth to see what was come to pass, and they came unto Jesus, and found the man sitting, out of whom the demons had gone forth, clothed, and right-minded, at the feet of Jesus, and they were afraid;

³⁵የሆነውን ነገር ሊያዩ ወጥተውም ወደ ኢየሱስ መጡ፥ አጋንንትም የወጡለትን ሰው ለብሶ ልቡም ተመልሶ በኢየሱስ እግር አጠገብ ተቀምጦ አገኙትና ፈሩ።

³⁶and those also having seen [it], told them how the demoniac was saved.

³⁶ያዩትም ደግሞ አጋንንት ያደሩበት ሰው እንዴት እንደ ዳነ አወሩላቸው።

³⁷And the whole multitude of the region of the Gadarenes round about asked him to go away from them, because with great fear they were pressed, and he having entered into the boat, did turn back.

³⁷በዙሪያውም በጌርጌሴኖን አገር ያሉት ሕዝብ ሁሉ ታላቅ ፍርሃት ይዞአቸዋልና ከእነርሱ እንዲሄድ ለመኑት በታንኳም ገብቶ ተመለሰ።

³⁸And the man from whom the demons had gone forth was beseeching of him to be with him, and Jesus sent him away, saying,

³⁸አጋንንት የወጡለት ሰውም ከእርሱ ጋር ይኖር ዘንድ ለመነው፤

³⁹`Turn back to thy house, and tell how great things God did to thee;` and he went away through all the city proclaiming how great things Jesus did to him.

³⁹ነገር ግን። ወደ ቤትህ ተመለስ፥ እግዚአብሔር እንዴት ያለ ታላቅ ነገር እንዳደረግልህ ንገር ብሎ አሰናበተው። ኢየሱስም እንዴት ያለ ታላቅ ነገር እንዳደረገለት በከተማው ሁሉ እየሰበከ ሄደ።

⁴⁰And it came to pass, in the turning back of Jesus, the multitude received him, for they were all looking for him,

⁴⁰ኢየሱስም በተመለሰ ጊዜ ሁሉ ይጠብቁት ነበርና ሕዝቡ ተቀበሉት።

⁴¹and lo, there came a man, whose name [is] Jairus, and he was a chief of the synagogue, and having fallen at the feet of Jesus, was calling on him to come to his house;

⁴¹እነሆም፥ ኢያኢሮስ የሚባል ሰው መጣ፥ እርሱም የምኵራብ አለቃ ነበረ በኢየሱስም እግር ላይ ወድቆ ወደ ቤቱ እንዲገባ ለመነው፤

⁴²because he had an only daughter about twelve years [old], and she was dying. And in his going away, the multitudes were thronging him,

⁴²አሥራ ሁለት ዓመት የሆናት አንዲት ሴት ልጅ ነበረችውና፤ እርስዋም ለሞት ቀርባ ነበረች። ሲሄድም ሕዝቡ ያጨናንቁት ነበር።

⁴³and a woman, having an issue of blood for twelve years, who, having spent on physicians all her living, was not able to be healed by any,

⁴³ከአሥራ ሁለት ዓመትም ጀምሮ ደም የሚፈሳት ሴት ነበረች፥ ትዳርዋንም ሁሉ ለባለመድኃኒቶች ከስራ ማንም ሊፈውሳት አልተቻለውም።

⁴⁴having come near behind, touched the fringe of his garment, and presently the issue of her blood stood.

⁴⁴በኋላውም ቀርባ የልብሱን ጫፍ ዳሰሰች፥ የደምዋም ፈሳሽ በዚያን ጊዜ ቆመ።

⁴⁵And Jesus said, `Who [is] it that touched me?` and all denying, Peter and those with him said, `Master, the multitudes press thee, and throng [thee], and thou dost say, Who [is] it that touched me!`

⁴⁵ኢየሱስም። የዳሰሰኝ ማን ነው? አለ። ሁሉም በካዱ ጊዜ፥ ጴጥሮስና ከእርሱ ጋር የነበሩት። አቤቱ፥ ሕዝቡ ያጫንቁሃልና ያጋፉህማል፤ የዳሰሰኝ ማን ነው ትላለህን? አሉ።

⁴⁶And Jesus said, `Some one did touch me, for I knew power having gone forth from me.`

⁴⁶ኢየሱስ ግን። አንድ ሰው ዳስሶኛል፥ ኃይል ከእኔ እንደ ወጣ እኔ አውቃለሁና አለ።

⁴⁷And the woman, having seen that she was not hid, trembling, came, and having fallen before him, for what cause she touched him declared to him before all the people, and how she was healed presently;

⁴⁷ሴቲቱም እንዳልተሰወረች ባየች ጊዜ እየተንቀጠቀጠች መጥታ በፊቱ ተደፋች፥ በምን ምክንያትም እንደ ዳሰሰችው ፈጥናም እንደ ተፈወሰች በሕዝቡ ሁሉ ፊት አወራች።

⁴⁸and he said to her, `Take courage, daughter, thy faith hath saved thee, be going on to peace.`

⁴⁸እርሱም። ልጄ ሆይ፥ እምነትሽ አድኖሻል፤ በሰላም ሂጂ አላት።

⁴⁹While he is yet speaking, there doth come a certain one from the chief of the synagogue`s [house], saying to him — `Thy daughter hath died, harass not the Teacher;`

⁴⁹እርሱም ገና ሲናገር አንድ ሰው ከምኵራብ አለቃው ቤት መጥቶ። ልጅህ ሞታለች፤ እንግዲህ መምህሩን አታድክም አለ።

⁵⁰and Jesus having heard, answered him, saying, `Be not afraid, only believe, and she shall be saved.`

⁵⁰ኢየሱስ ግን ሰምቶ። አትፍራ፤ እመን ብቻ ትድንማለች ብሎ መለሰለት።

⁵¹And having come to the house, he suffered no one to go in, except Peter, and James, and John, and the father of the child, and the mother;

⁵¹ወደ ቤትም ሲገባ ከጴጥሮስና ከያዕቆብ ከዮሐንስም ከብላቴናይቱም አባትና እናት በቀር ማንም ከእርሱ ጋር ይገባ ዘንድ አልፈቀደም።

⁵²and they were all weeping, and beating themselves for her, and he said, `Weep not, she did not die, but doth sleep;

⁵²ሁሉም እያለቀሱላት ዋይ ዋይ ይሉ ነበር። እርሱ ግን። አታልቅሱ፤ ተኝታለች እንጂ አልሞተችም አለ።

⁵³and they were deriding him, knowing that she did die;

⁵³እንደ ሞተችም አውቀው በጣም ሳቁበት።

⁵⁴and he having put all forth without, and having taken hold of her hand, called, saying, `Child, arise;`

⁵⁴እርሱ ግን እጅዋን ይዞ። አንቺ ብላቴና፥ ተነሺ ብሎ ጮኸ።

⁵⁵and her spirit came back, and she arose presently, and he directed that there be given to her to eat;

⁵⁵ነፍስዋም ተመለሰች፥ ፈጥናም ቆመች፥ የምትበላውንም እንዲሰጡአት አዘዘ።

⁵⁶and her parents were amazed, but he charged them to say to no one what was come to pass.

⁵⁶ወላጆችዋም ተገረሙ፤ እርሱ ግን የሆነውን ለማንም እንዳይነግሩ አዘዛቸው።
