¹And he entered again into the synagogue, and there was there a man having the hand withered,

¹ደግሞም ወደ ምኵራብ ገባ፥ በዚያም እጁ የሰለለች ሰው ነበር፤

²and they were watching him, whether on the sabbaths he will heal him, that they might accuse him.

²ሊከሱትም፥ በሰንበት ይፈውሰው እንደ ሆነ ይጠባበቁት ነበር።

³And he saith to the man having the hand withered, `Rise up in the midst.`

³እጁ የሰለለችውንም ሰው። ተነሥተህ ወደ መካከል ና አለው።

⁴And he saith to them, `Is it lawful on the sabbaths to do good, or to do evil? life to save, or to kill?` but they were silent.

⁴በሰንበት በጎ ማድረግ ተፈቅዶአልን? ወይስ ክፉ? ነፍስ ማዳን ወይስ መግደል? አላቸው፤ እነርሱም ዝም አሉ።

⁵And having looked round upon them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their heart, he saith to the man, `Stretch forth thy hand;` and he stretched forth, and his hand was restored whole as the other;

⁵ስለ ልባቸውም ድንዛዜ አዝኖ ዙሪያውን እየተመለከተ በቍጣ አያቸው፥ ሰውየውንም። እጅህን ዘርጋ አለው።

⁶and the Pharisees having gone forth, immediately, with the Herodians, were taking counsel against him how they might destroy him.

⁶ዘረጋትም፥ እጁም ዳነች። ፈሪሳውያንም ወጥተው ወዲያው እንዴት አድርገው እንዲያጠፉት ከሄሮድስ ወገን ጋር ተማከሩበት።

⁷And Jesus withdrew with his disciples unto the sea, and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judea,

⁷ኢየሱስም ከደቀ መዛሙርቱ ጋር ወደ ባህር ፈቀቅ አለ፤ ከገሊላ የመጡም ብዙ ሰዎች ተከተሉት፤

⁸and from Jerusalem, and from Idumea and beyond the Jordan; and they about Tyre and Sidon — a great multitude — having heard how great things he was doing, came unto him.

⁸እንዴት ትልቅ ነገርም እንዳደረገው ሰምተው ብዙ ሰዎች ከይሁዳ ከኢየሩሳሌምም ከኤዶምያስም ከዮርዳኖስ ማዶም ከጢሮስና ከሲዶና ምድርም ወደ እርሱ መጡ።

⁹And he said to his disciples that a little boat may wait on him, because of the multitude, that they may not press upon him,

⁹ሰዎቹም እንዳያጋፉት ታንኳን ያቆዩለት ዘንድ ደቀ መዛሙርቱን አዘዛቸው፤

¹⁰for he did heal many, so that they threw themselves on him, in order to touch him — as many as had plagues;

¹⁰ብዙ ሰዎችን አድኖ ነበርና፥ ስለዚህም ሥቃይ ያለባቸው ሁሉ እንዲዳስሱት ይወድቁበት ነበር።

¹¹and the unclean spirits, when they were seeing him, were falling down before him, and were crying, saying — `Thou art the Son of God;`

¹¹ርኵሳን መናፍስትም ባዩት ጊዜ በፊቱ ተደፍተው። አንተ የእግዚአብሔር ልጅ ነህ እያሉ ጮኹ።

¹²and many times he was charging them that they might not make him manifest.

¹²እንዳይገልጡትም በጣም አዘዛቸው።

¹³And he goeth up to the mountain, and doth call near whom he willed, and they went away to him;

¹³ወደ ተራራም ወጣ፥ ራሱም የወደዳቸውን ወደ እርሱ ጠራ፥ ወደ እርሱም ሄዱ።

¹⁴and he appointed twelve, that they may be with him, and that he may send them forth to preach,

¹⁴ከእርሱም ጋር እንዲኖሩና ለመስበክ እንዲልካቸው፥

¹⁵and to have power to heal the sicknesses, and to cast out the demons.

¹⁵ድውዮችንም ሊፈውሱ አጋንንትንም ሊያወጡ ሥልጣን ይሆንላቸው ዘንድ አሥራ ሁለት አደረገ፤

¹⁶And he put on Simon the name Peter;

¹⁶ስምዖንንም ጴጥሮስ ብሎ ሰየመው፤

¹⁷and James of Zebedee, and John the brother of James, and he put on them names — Boanerges, that is, `Sons of thunder;`

¹⁷የዘብዴዎስንም ልጅ ያዕቆብን የያዕቆብንም ወንድም ዮሐንስን ቦአኔርጌስ ብሎ ሰየማቸው፥ የነጎድጓድ ልጆች ማለት ነው፤

¹⁸and Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James of Alpheus, and Thaddeus, and Simon the Cananite,

¹⁸እንድርያስንም ፊልጶስንም በርተሎሜውስንም ማቴዎስንም ቶማስንም የእልፍዮስን ልጅ ያዕቆብንም ታዴዎስንም ቀነናዊውንም ስምዖንን፥

¹⁹and Judas Iscariot, who did also deliver him up; and they come into a house.

¹⁹አሳልፎ የሰጠውንም የአስቆሮቱን ይሁዳን።

²⁰And come together again doth a multitude, so that they are not able even to eat bread;

²⁰ወደ ቤትም መጡ፤ እንጀራም መብላት ስንኳ እስኪሳናቸው ድረስ እንደ ገና ብዙ ሰዎች ተሰበሰቡ።

²¹and his friends having heard, went forth to lay hold on him, for they said that he was beside himself,

²¹ዘመዶቹም ሰምተው። አበደ ብለዋልና ሊይዙት ወጡ።

²²and the scribes who [are] from Jerusalem having come down, said — `He hath Beelzeboul,` and — `By the ruler of the demons he doth cast out the demons.`

²²ከኢየሩሳሌም የወረዱ ጻፎችም። ብዔል ዜቡል አለበት፤ ደግሞ። በአጋንንት አለቃ አጋንንትን ያወጣል ብለው ተናገሩ።

²³And, having called them near, in similes he said to them, `How is the Adversary able to cast out the Adversary?

²³እነርሱንም ወደ እርሱ ጠርቶ በምሳሌ አላቸው። ሰይጣን ሰይጣንን ሊያወጣው እንዴት ይችላል?

²⁴and if a kingdom against itself be divided, that kingdom cannot be made to stand;

²⁴መንግሥትም እርስ በርስዋ ከተለያየች ያች መንግሥት ልትቆም አትችልም፤

²⁵and if a house against itself be divided, that house cannot be made to stand;

²⁵ቤትም እርስ በርሱ ከተለያየ ያ ቤት ሊቆም አይችልም።

²⁶and if the Adversary did rise against himself, and hath been divided, he cannot be made to stand, but hath an end.

²⁶ሰይጣንም ራሱን ተቃውሞ ከተለያየ፥ መጨረሻ ይሆንበታል እንጂ ሊቆም አይችልም።

²⁷`No one is able the vessels of the strong man — having entered into his house — to spoil, if first he may not bind the strong man, and then his house he will spoil.

²⁷ነገር ግን አስቀድሞ ኃይለኛውን ሳያስር ወደ ኃይለኛው ቤት ገብቶ ዕቃውን ሊበዘብዝ የሚችል የለም፥ ከዚያም ወዲያ ቤቱን ይበዘብዛል።

²⁸`Verily I say to you, that all the sins shall be forgiven to the sons of men, and evil speakings with which they might speak evil,

²⁸እውነት እላችኋለሁ፥ ለሰው ልጆች ኃጢአት ሁሉ የሚሳደቡትም ስድብ ሁሉ ይሰረይላቸዋል፤

²⁹but whoever may speak evil in regard to the Holy Spirit hath not forgiveness — to the age, but is in danger of age-during judgment;`

²⁹በመንፈስ ቅዱስ ላይ የሚሳደብ ሁሉ ግን የዘላለም ኃጢአት ዕዳ ይሆንበታል እንጂ ለዘላለም አይሰረይለትም።

³⁰because they said, `He hath an unclean spirit.`

³⁰ርኵስ መንፈስ አለበት ይሉ ነበርና።

³¹Then come do his brethren and mother, and standing without, they sent unto him, calling him,

³¹እናቱና ወንድሞቹም መጡ በውጭም ቆመው ወደ እርሱ ልከው አስጠሩት።

³²and a multitude was sitting about him, and they said to him, `Lo, thy mother and thy brethren without do seek thee.`

³²ብዙ ሰዎችም በዙሪያው ተቀምጠው ነበሩና። እነሆ፥ እናትህ ወንድሞችህም በውጭ ቆመው ይፈልጉሃል አሉት።

³³And he answered them, saying, `Who is my mother, or my brethren?`

³³መልሶም። እናቴ ማን ናት? ወንድሞቼስ እነ ማን ናቸው? አላቸው።

³⁴And having looked round in a circle to those sitting about him, he saith, `Lo, my mother and my brethren!

³⁴በዙሪያው ተቀምጠው ወደ ነበሩትም ተመለከተና። እነሆ እናቴ ወንድሞቼም።

³⁵for whoever may do the will of God, he is my brother, and my sister, and mother.`

³⁵የእግዚአብሔርን ፈቃድ የሚያደርግ ሁሉ፥ እርሱ ወንድሜ ነው እኅቴም እናቴም አለ።
