¹And having risen thence, he doth come to the coasts of Judea, through the other side of the Jordan, and again do multitudes come together unto him, and, as he had been accustomed, again he was teaching them.

¹ከዚያም ተነሥቶ በዮርዳኖስ ማዶ ወደ ይሁዳ አገር መጣ፥ ደግሞም ብዙ ሰዎች ወደ እርሱ ተሰበሰቡ እንደ ልማዱም ደግሞ ያስተምራቸው ነበር።

²And the Pharisees, having come near, questioned him, if it is lawful for a husband to put away a wife, tempting him,

²ፈሪሳውያንም ቀርበው። ሰው ሚስቱን ሊፈታ ተፈቅዶለታልን? ብለው ሊፈትኑት ጠየቁት።

³and he answering said to them, `What did Moses command you?`

³እርሱ ግን መልሶ። ሙሴ ምን አዘዛችሁ? አላቸው።

⁴and they said, `Moses suffered to write a bill of divorce, and to put away.`

⁴እነርሱም። ሙሴስ የፍችዋን ጽሕፈት ጽፎ እንዲፈታት ፈቀደ አሉ።

⁵And Jesus answering said to them, `For the stiffness of your heart he wrote you this command,

⁵ኢየሱስም መልሶ እንዲህ አላቸው። ስለ ልባችሁ ጥንካሬ ይህችን ትእዛዝ ጻፈላችሁ።

⁶but from the beginning of the creation, a male and a female God did make them;

⁶ከፍጥረት መጀመሪያ ግን እግዚአብሔር ወንድና ሴት አደረጋቸው፤

⁷on this account shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave unto his wife,

⁷ስለዚህ ሰው አባቱንና እናቱን ይተዋል ከሚስቱም ጋር ይተባበራል፥

⁸and they shall be — the two — for one flesh; so that they are no more two, but one flesh;

⁸ሁለቱም አንድ ሥጋ ይሆናሉ፤ ስለዚህ አንድ ሥጋ ናቸው እንጂ ወደ ፊት ሁለት አይደሉም።

⁹what therefore God did join together, let not man put asunder.`

⁹እግዚአብሔር ያጣመረውን እንግዲህ ሰው አይለየው።

¹⁰And in the house again his disciples of the same thing questioned him,

¹⁰በቤትም ደግሞ ደቀ መዛሙርቱ ስለዚህ ነገር ጠየቁት።

¹¹and he saith to them, `Whoever may put away his wife, and may marry another, doth commit adultery against her;

¹¹እርሱም። ሚስቱን ፈትቶ ሌላ የሚያገባ ሁሉ በእርስዋ ላይ ያመነዝራል፤

¹²and if a woman may put away her husband, and is married to another, she committeth adultery.`

¹²እርስዋም ባልዋን ፈትታ ሌላ ብታገባ ታመነዝራለች አላቸው።

¹³And they were bringing to him children, that he might touch them, and the disciples were rebuking those bringing them,

¹³እንዲዳስሳቸውም ሕፃናትን ወደ እርሱ አመጡ፤ ደቀ መዛሙርቱም ያመጡአቸውን ገሠጹአቸው።

¹⁴and Jesus having seen, was much displeased, and he said to them, `Suffer the children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the reign of God;

¹⁴ኢየሱስ ግን አይቶ ተቈጣና። ሕፃናትን ወደ እኔ ይመጡ ዘንድ ተዉ አትከልክሉአቸው፤ የእግዚአብሔር መንግሥት እንደነዚህ ላሉት ናትና።

¹⁵verily I say to you, whoever may not receive the reign of God, as a child — he may not enter into it;`

¹⁵እውነት እላችኋለሁ፤ የእግዚአብሔርን መንግሥት እንደ ሕፃን የማይቀበላት ሁሉ ከቶ አይገባባትም አላቸው።

¹⁶and having taken them in his arms, having put [his] hands upon them, he was blessing them.

¹⁶አቀፋቸውም እጁንም ጭኖ ባረካቸው።

¹⁷And as he is going forth into the way, one having run and having kneeled to him, was questioning him, `Good teacher, what may I do, that life age-during I may inherit?`

¹⁷እርሱም በመንገድ ሲወጣ አንድ ሰው ወደ እርሱ ሮጦ ተንበረከከለትና። ቸር መምህር ሆይ፥ የዘላለም ሕይወትን እወርስ ዘንድ ምን ላድርግ? ብሎ ጠየቀው።

¹⁸And Jesus said to him, `Why me dost thou call good? no one [is] good except One — God;

¹⁸ኢየሱስም። ስለ ምን ቸር ትለኛለህ? ከአንዱ ከእግዚአብሔር በቀር ቸር ማንም የለም።

¹⁹the commands thou hast known: Thou mayest not commit adultery, Thou mayest do no murder, Thou mayest not steal, Thou mayest not bear false witness, Thou mayest not defraud, Honour thy father and mother.`

¹⁹ትእዛዛትን ታውቃለህ፤ አታመንዝር፥ አትግደል፥ አትስረቅ፥ በሐሰት አትመስክር፥ አታታልል፥ አባትህንና እናትህን አክብር አለው።

²⁰And he answering said to him, `Teacher, all these did I keep from my youth.`

²⁰እርሱም መልሶ። መምህር ሆይ፥ ይህን ሁሉ ከሕፃንነቴ ጀምሬ ጠብቄአለሁ አለው።

²¹And Jesus having looked upon him, did love him, and said to him, `One thing thou dost lack; go away, whatever thou hast — sell, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven, and come, be following me, having taken up the cross.`

²¹ኢየሱስም ወደ እርሱ ተመልክቶ ወደደውና። አንድ ነገር ጐደለህ፤ ሂድ፥ ያለህን ሁሉ ሽጠህ ለድሆች ስጥ፥ በሰማይም መዝገብ ታገኛለህ፥ መስቀሉንም ተሸክመህ ና፥ ተከተለኝ አለው።

²²And he — gloomy at the word — went away sorrowing, for he was having many possessions.

²²ነገር ግን ስለዚህ ነገር ፊቱ ጠቈረ፥ ብዙ ንብረት ነበረውና እያዘነም ሄደ።

²³And Jesus having looked round, saith to his disciples, `How hardly shall they who have riches enter into the reign of God!`

²³ኢየሱስም ዘወር ብሎ አይቶ ደቀ መዛሙርቱን። ገንዘብ ላላቸው ወደ እግዚአብሔር መንግሥት መግባት እንዴት ጭንቅ ይሆናል አላቸው።

²⁴And the disciples were astonished at his words, and Jesus again answering saith to them, `Children, how hard is it to those trusting on the riches to enter into the reign of God!

²⁴ደቀ መዛሙርቱም እነዚህን ቃሎች አደነቁ። ኢየሱስም ደግሞ መልሶ። ልጆች ሆይ፥ በገንዘብ ለሚታመኑ ወደ እግዚአብሔር መንግሥት መግባት እንዴት ጭንቅ ነው።

²⁵It is easier for a camel through the eye of the needle to enter, than for a rich man to enter into the reign of God.`

²⁵ባለ ጠጋ ወደ እግዚአብሔር መንግሥት ከሚገባ ግመል በመርፌ ቀዳዳ ቢያልፍ ይቀላል አላቸው።

²⁶And they were astonished beyond measure, saying unto themselves, `And who is able to be saved?`

²⁶እነርሱም ያለ መጠን ተገረሙና እርስ በርሳቸው። እንግዲያ ማን ሊድን ይችላል? ተባባሉ።

²⁷And Jesus, having looked upon them, saith, `With men it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God.`

²⁷ኢየሱስም ተመለከታቸውና። ይህ በእግዚአብሔር ዘንድ እንጂ በሰው ዘንድ አይቻልም፤ በእግዚአብሔር ዘንድ ሁሉ ይቻላልና አለ።

²⁸And Peter began to say to him, `Lo, we left all, and we followed thee.`

²⁸ጴጥሮስም። እነሆ፥ እኛ ሁሉን ትተን ተከተልንህ ይለው ጀመር።

²⁹And Jesus answering said, `Verily I say to you, there is no one who left house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or fields, for my sake, and for the good news`,

²⁹ኢየሱስም መልሶ እንዲህ አለ። እውነት እላችኋለሁ፥ ስለ እኔና ስለ ወንጌል ቤትን ወይም ወንድሞችን ወይም እኅቶችን ወይም አባትን ወይም እናትን ወይም ሚስትን ወይም ልጆችን ወይም እርሻን የተወ፥

³⁰who may not receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brothers, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and fields, with persecutions, and in the age that is coming, life age-during;

³⁰አሁን በዚህ ዘመን ከስደት ጋር ቤቶችን ወንድሞችንና እኅቶችንም እናቶችንም ልጆችንም እርሻንም መቶ እጥፍ፥ በሚመጣውም ዓለም የዘላለም ሕይወት የማይቀበል ማንም የለም።

³¹and many first shall be last, and the last first.`

³¹ግን ብዙ ፊተኞች ኋለኞች ኋለኞችም ፊተኞች ይሆናሉ።

³²And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was going before them, and they were amazed, and following they were afraid. And having again taken the twelve, he began to tell them the things about to happen to him,

³²ወደ ኢየሩሳሌምም ሊወጡ በመንገድ ነበሩ፥ ኢየሱስም ይቀድማቸው ነበርና ተደነቁ፤ የተከተሉትም ይፈሩ ነበር። ደግሞም አሥራ ሁለቱን ወደ እርሱ አቅርቦ ይደርስበት ዘንድ ያለውን ይነግራቸው ጀመር።

³³— `Lo, we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man shall be delivered to the chief priests, and to the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the nations,

³³እነሆ፥ ወደ ኢየሩሳሌም እንወጣለን፥ የሰው ልጅም ለካህናት አለቆችና ለጻፎች አልፎ ይሰጣል፥ የሞት ፍርድም ይፈርዱበታል፥ ለአሕዛብም አሳልፈው ይሰጡታል፥

³⁴and they shall mock him, and scourge him, and spit on him, and kill him, and the third day he shall rise again.`

³⁴ይዘብቱበትማል ይተፉበትማል ይገርፉትማል ይገድሉትማል፥ በሦስተኛውም ቀን ይነሣል አላቸው።

³⁵And there come near to him James and John, the sons of Zebedee, saying, `Teacher, we wish that whatever we may ask for ourselves, thou mayest do for us;`

³⁵የዘብዴዎስ ልጆች ያዕቆብና ዮሐንስም ወደ እርሱ ቀርበው። መምህር ሆይ፥ የምንለምንህን ሁሉ እንድታደርግልን እንወዳለን አሉት።

³⁶and he said to them, `What do ye wish me to do for you?`

³⁶እርሱም። ምን ላደርግላችሁ ትወዳላችሁ? አላቸው።

³⁷and they said to him, `Grant to us that, one on thy right hand and one on thy left, we may sit in thy glory;`

³⁷እነርሱም። በክብርህ ጊዜ አንዳችን በቀኝ አንዳችንም በግራህ መቀመጥን ስጠን አሉት።

³⁸and Jesus said to them, `Ye have not known what ye ask; are ye able to drink of the cup that I drink of, and with the baptism that I am baptized with — to be baptized?`

³⁸ኢየሱስ ግን። የምትለምኑትን አታውቁም። እኔ የምጠጣውን ጽዋ ልትጠጡ፥ እኔ የምጠመቀውንስ ጥምቀት ልትጠመቁ ትችላላችሁን? አላቸው።

³⁹And they said to him, `We are able;` and Jesus said to them, `Of the cup indeed that I drink of, ye shall drink, and with the baptism that I am baptized with, ye shall be baptized;

³⁹እነርሱም። እንችላለን አሉት። ኢየሱስም። እኔ የምጠጣውን ጽዋ ትጠጣላችሁ፥ እኔ የምጠመቀውንም ጥምቀት ትጠመቃላችሁ፤

⁴⁰but to sit on my right and on my left, is not mine to give, but — to those for whom it hath been prepared.`

⁴⁰በቀኝና በግራ መቀመጥ ግን ለተዘጋጀላቸው ነው እንጂ የምሰጥ እኔ አይደለሁም አላቸው።

⁴¹And the ten having heard, began to be much displeased at James and John,

⁴¹አሥሩም ሰምተው በያዕቆብና በዮሐንስ ይቈጡ ጀመር።

⁴²but Jesus having called them near, saith to them, `Ye have known that they who are considered to rule the nations do exercise lordship over them, and their great ones do exercise authority upon them;

⁴²ኢየሱስም ወደ እርሱ ጠርቶ እንዲህ አላቸው። የአሕዛብ አለቆች ተብሎ የምታስቡት እንዲገዙአቸው ታላላቆቻቸውም በላያቸው እንዲሠለጥኑ ታውቃላችሁ።

⁴³but not so shall it be among you; but whoever may will to become great among you, he shall be your minister,

⁴³በእናንተስ እንዲህ አይደለም፤ ነገር ግን ማንም ከእናንተ ታላቅ ሊሆን የሚወድ የእናንተ አገልጋይ ይሁን፥

⁴⁴and whoever of you may will to become first, he shall be servant of all;

⁴⁴ከእናንተም ማንም ፊተኛ ሊሆን የሚወድ የሁሉ ባሪያ ይሁን፤

⁴⁵for even the Son of Man came not to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.`

⁴⁵እንዲሁ የሰው ልጅም ሊያገለግልና ነፍሱን ለብዙዎች ቤዛ ሊሰጥ እንጂ እንዲያገለግሉት አልመጣም።

⁴⁶And they come to Jericho, and as he is going forth from Jericho, with his disciples and a great multitude, a son of Timaeus — Bartimaeus the blind — was sitting beside the way begging,

⁴⁶ወደ ኢያሪኮም መጡ። ከደቀ መዛሙርቱና ከብዙ ሕዝብ ጋር ከኢያሪኮ ሲወጣ የጤሜዎስ ልጅ ዕውሩ በርጤሜዎስ እየለመነ በመንገድ ዳር ተቀምጦ ነበር።

⁴⁷and having heard that it is Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out, and to say, `The Son of David — Jesus! deal kindly with me;`

⁴⁷የናዝሬቱ ኢየሱስም እንደ ሆነ በሰማ ጊዜ። የዳዊት ልጅ ኢየሱስ ሆይ፥ ማረኝ እያለ ይጮኽ ጀመር።

⁴⁸and many were rebuking him, that he might keep silent, but the more abundantly he cried out, `Son of David, deal kindly with me.`

⁴⁸ብዙዎችም ዝም እንዲል ገሠጹት፤ እርሱ ግን። የዳዊት ልጅ ሆይ፥ ማረኝ እያለ አብዝቶ ጮኸ።

⁴⁹And Jesus having stood, he commanded him to be called, and they call the blind man, saying to him, `Take courage, rise, he doth call thee;`

⁴⁹ኢየሱስም ቆመና። ጥሩት አለ። ዕውሩንም። አይዞህ፥ ተነሣ፥ ይጠራሃል ብለው ጠሩት።

⁵⁰and he, having cast away his garment, having risen, did come unto Jesus.

⁵⁰እርሱም እየዘለለ ተነሣና ልብሱን ጥሎ ወደ ኢየሱስ መጣ።

⁵¹And answering, Jesus saith to him, `What wilt thou I may do to thee?` and the blind man said to him, `Rabboni, that I may see again;`

⁵¹ኢየሱስም መልሶ። ምን ላደርግልህ ትወዳለህ? አለው። ዕውሩም። መምህር ሆይ፥ አይ ዘንድ አለው።

⁵²and Jesus said to him, `Go, thy faith hath saved thee:` and immediately he saw again, and was following Jesus in the way.

⁵²ኢየሱስም። ሂድ፤ እምነትህ አድኖሃል አለው። ወዲያውም አየ በመንገድም ተከተለው።
