¹And when they come nigh to Jerusalem, to Bethphage, and Bethany, unto the mount of the Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples,

¹ወደ ኢየሩሳሌምም ከደብረ ዘይት አጠገብ ወዳሉቱ ወደ ቤተ ፋጌና ወደ ቢታንያ በቀረቡ ጊዜ፥ ከደቀ መዛሙርቱ ሁለቱን ልኮ።

²and saith to them, `Go away to the village that is over-against you, and immediately, entering into it, ye shall find a colt tied, on which no one of men hath sat, having loosed it, bring [it]:

²በፊታችሁ ወዳለችው መንደር ሂዱ፥ ወዲያውም ወደ እርስዋ ገብታችሁ ከሰው ማንም ገና ያልተቀመጠበት ውርንጫ ታስሮ ታገኛላችሁ፤ ፈትታችሁ አምጡልኝ።

³and if any one may say to you, Why do ye this? say ye that the lord hath need of it, and immediately he will send it hither.`

³ማንም። ስለ ምን እንዲህ ታደርጋላችሁ? ቢላችሁ። ለጌታ ያስፈልገዋል በሉት፥ ወዲያውም ደግሞ ወደዚህ ይሰደዋል አላቸው።

⁴And they went away, and found the colt tied at the door without, by the two ways, and they loose it,

⁴ሄዱም ውርንጫውንም በመንገድ መተላለፊያ በደጅ ውጭ ታስሮ አገኙት፥ ፈቱትም።

⁵and certain of those standing there said to them, `What do ye — loosing the colt?`

⁵በዚያም ከቆሙት አንዳንዶቹ። ውርንጫውን የምትፈቱት ምን ልታደርጉት ነው አሉአቸው።

⁶and they said to them as Jesus commanded, and they suffered them.

⁶እነርሱም ኢየሱስ እንዳዘዘ አሉአቸው፤ ተዉአቸውም።

⁷And they brought the colt unto Jesus, and did cast upon it their garments, and he sat upon it,

⁷ውርንጫውንም ወደ ኢየሱስ አመጡት፥ ልብሳቸውንም በላዩ ጣሉ፥ ተቀመጠበትም።

⁸and many did spread their garments in the way, and others were cutting down branches from the trees, and were strewing in the way.

⁸ብዙ ሰዎችም ልብሳቸውን በመንገድ ላይ አነጠፉ፥ ሌሎችም ከዛፍ ቅጠሎችን እየቈረጡ ያነጥፉ ነበር።

⁹And those going before and those following were crying out, saying, `Hosanna! blessed [is] he who is coming in the name of the Lord;

⁹የሚቀድሙትም የሚከተሉትም። ሆሣዕና፤ በጌታ ስም የሚመጣ የተባረከ ነው፤

¹⁰blessed is the coming reign, in the name of the Lord, of our father David; Hosanna in the highest.`

¹⁰በጌታ ስም የምትመጣ የአባታችን የዳዊት መንግሥት የተባረከች ናት፤ ሆሣዕና በአርያም እያሉ ይጮኹ ነበር።

¹¹And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple, and having looked round on all things, it being now evening, he went forth to Bethany with the twelve.

¹¹ኢየሱስም ወደ ኢየሩሳሌም ወደ መቅደስ ገባ፤ ዘወር ብሎም ሁሉን ከተመለከተ በኋላ፥ ጊዜው መሽቶ ስለ ነበረ ከአሥራ ሁለቱ ጋር ወደ ቢታንያ ወጣ።

¹²And on the morrow, they having come forth from Bethany, he hungered,

¹²በማግሥቱም ከቢታንያ ሲወጡ ተራበ።

¹³and having seen a fig-tree afar off having leaves, he came, if perhaps he shall find anything in it, and having come to it, he found nothing except leaves, for it was not a time of figs,

¹³ቅጠልም ያላት በለስ ከሩቅ አይቶ ምናልባት አንዳች ይገኝባት እንደ ሆነ ብሎ መጣ፥ ነገር ግን የበለስ ወራት አልነበረምና መጥቶ ከቅጠል በቀር ምንም አላገኘባትም።

¹⁴and Jesus answering said to it, `No more from thee — to the age — may any eat fruit;` and his disciples were hearing.

¹⁴መልሶም። ከአሁን ጀምሮ ለዘላለም ማንም ከአንቺ ፍሬ አይብላ አላት። ደቀ መዛሙርቱም ሰሙ።

¹⁵And they come to Jerusalem, and Jesus having gone into the temple, began to cast forth those selling and buying in the temple, and the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those selling the doves, he overthrew,

¹⁵ወደ ኢየሩሳሌምም መጡ። ወደ መቅደስም ገብቶ በመቅደስ የሚሸጡትንና የሚገዙትን ያወጣ ጀመር፥ የገንዘብ ለዋጮችንም ገበታዎች የርግብ ሻጭዎችንም ወንበሮች ገለበጠ፤

¹⁶and he did not suffer that any might bear a vessel through the temple,

¹⁶ዕቃም ተሸክሞ ማንም በመቅደስ ሊያልፍ አልፈቀደም።

¹⁷and he was teaching, saying to them, `Hath it not been written — My house a house of prayer shall be called for all the nations, and ye did make it a den of robbers?`

¹⁷አስተማራቸውም። ቤቴ ለአሕዛብ ሁሉ የጸሎት ቤት ትባላለች ተብሎ የተጻፈ አይደለምን? እናንተ ግን የወንበዶች ዋሻ አደረጋችኋት አላቸው።

¹⁸And the scribes and the chief priests heard, and they were seeking how they shall destroy him, for they were afraid of him, because all the multitude was astonished at his teaching;

¹⁸የካህናት አለቆችም ጻፎችም ሰምተው፥ ሕዝቡ ሁሉ በትምህርቱ ይገረሙ ስለ ነበር ይፈሩት ነበርና እንዴት አድርገው እንዲያጠፉት ፈለጉ።

¹⁹and when evening came, he was going forth without the city.

¹⁹ማታ ማታም ከከተማ ወደ ውጭ ይወጣ ነበር።

²⁰And in the morning, passing by, they saw the fig-tree having been dried up from the roots,

²⁰ማለዳም ሲያልፉ በለሲቱን ከሥርዋ ደርቃ አዩአት።

²¹and Peter having remembered saith to him, `Rabbi, lo, the fig-tree that thou didst curse is dried up.`

²¹ጴጥሮስም ትዝ ብሎት። መምህር ሆይ፥ እነሆ፥ የረገምሃት በለስ ደርቃለች አለው።

²²And Jesus answering saith to them, `Have faith of God;

²²ኢየሱስም መልሶ እንዲህ አላቸው። በእግዚአብሔር እመኑ።

²³for verily I say to you, that whoever may say to this mount, Be taken up, and be cast into the sea, and may not doubt in his heart, but may believe that the things that he saith do come to pass, it shall be to him whatever he may say.

²³እውነት እላችኋለሁ፥ ማንም ያለው ነገር እንዲደረግለት ቢያምን በልቡ ሳይጠራጠር፥ ይህን ተራራ። ተነቅለህ ወደ ባሕር ተወርወር ቢል ይሆንለታል።

²⁴Because of this I say to you, all whatever — praying — ye do ask, believe that ye receive, and it shall be to you.

²⁴ስለዚህ እላችኋለሁ፥ የጸለያችሁትን የለመናችሁትንም ሁሉ እንዳገኛችሁት እመኑ፥ ይሆንላችሁማል።

²⁵`And whenever ye may stand praying, forgive, if ye have anything against any one, that your Father also who is in the heavens may forgive you your trespasses;

²⁵ለጸሎትም በቆማችሁ ጊዜ፥ በሰማያት ያለው አባታችሁ ደግሞ ኃጢአታችሁን ይቅር እንዲላችሁ፥ በማንም ላይ አንዳች ቢኖርባችሁ ይቅር በሉት።

²⁶and, if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in the heavens forgive your trespasses.`

²⁶እናንተ ግን ይቅር ባትሉ በሰማያት ያለው አባታችሁም ኃጢአታችሁን ይቅር አይላችሁም።

²⁷And they come again to Jerusalem, and in the temple, as he is walking, there come unto him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders,

²⁷ደግሞም ወደ ኢየሩሳሌም መጡ። እርሱም በመቅደስ ሲመላለስ፥ የካህናት አለቆችና ጻፎች ሽማግሌዎችም ወደ እርሱ መጥተው።

²⁸and they say to him, `By what authority dost thou these things? and who gave thee this authority that these things thou mayest do?`

²⁸እነዚህን በምን ሥልጣን ታደርጋለህ? ወይስ እነዚህን ለማድረግ ይህን ሥልጣን ማን ሰጠህ? አሉት።

²⁹And Jesus answering said to them, `I will question you — I also — one word; and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things;

²⁹ኢየሱስም። እኔም አንዲት ነገር እጠይቃችኋለሁ፥ እናንተም መልሱልኝ፥ እኔም በምን ሥልጣን እነዚህን እንዳደርግ እነግራችኋለሁ።

³⁰the baptism of John — from heaven was it? or from men? answer me.`

³⁰የዮሐንስ ጥምቀት ከሰማይ ነበረችን ወይስ ከሰው? መልሱልኝ አላቸው።

³¹And they were reasoning with themselves, saying, `If we may say, From heaven, he will say, Wherefore, then, did ye not believe him?

³¹እርስ በርሳቸውም ሲነጋገሩ። ከሰማይ ነው ብንል። እንግዲያውስ ስለ ምን አላመናችሁበትም? ይለናል፤

³²But if we may say, From men,` — they were fearing the people, for all were holding John that he was indeed a prophet;

³²ነገር ግን። ከሰው ነው እንበልን? አሉ፤ ሁሉ ዮሐንስን በእውነት እንደ ነቢይ ያዩት ነበርና ሕዝቡን ፈሩ።

³³and answering they say to Jesus, `We have not known;` and Jesus answering saith to them, `Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.`

³³ለኢየሱስም መልሰው። አናውቅም አሉት ኢየሱስም። እኔም በምን ሥልጣን እነዚህን እንዳደርግ አልነግራችሁም አላቸው።
