¹And he went forth thence, and came to his own country, and his disciples do follow him,

¹ከዚያም ወጥቶ ወደ ገዛ አገሩ መጣ ደቀ መዛሙርቱም ተከተሉት።

²and sabbath having come, he began in the synagogue to teach, and many hearing were astonished, saying, `Whence hath this one these things? and what the wisdom that was given to him, that also such mighty works through his hands are done?

²ሰንበትም በሆነ ጊዜ በምኵራብ ያስተምር ጀመር፤ ብዙዎችም ሰምተው ተገረሙና። እነዚህን ነገሮች ይህ ከወዴት አገኛቸው? ለዚህ የተሰጠችው ጥበብ ምንድር ናት? በእጁም የሚደረጉ እንደነዚህ ያሉ ተአምራት ምንድር ናቸው?

³Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James, and Joses, and Judas, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us?` — and they were being stumbled at him.

³ይህስ ጸራቢው የማርያም ልጅ የያቆብም የዮሳም የይሁዳም የስምዖንም ወንድም አይደለምን? እኅቶቹስ በዚህ በእኛ ዘንድ አይደሉምን? አሉ፤ ይሰናከሉበትም ነበር።

⁴And Jesus said to them — `A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and among his kindred, and in his own house;`

⁴ኢየሱስም። ነቢይ ከገዛ አገሩና ከገዛ ዘመዶቹ ከገዛ ቤቱም በቀር ሳይከበር አይቀርም አላቸው።

⁵and he was not able there any mighty work to do, except on a few infirm people having put hands he did heal [them];

⁵በዚያም በጥቂቶች ድውዮች ላይ እጁን ጭኖ ከመፈወስ በቀር፥ ተአምር ሊያደርግ ምንም አልቻለም።

⁶and he wondered because of their unbelief. And he was going round the villages, in a circle, teaching,

⁶ስለ አለማመናቸውም ተደነቀ። በመንደሮችም እያስተማረ ይዞር ነበር።

⁷and he doth call near the twelve, and he began to send them forth two by two, and he was giving them power over the unclean spirits,

⁷አስራ ሁለቱንም ወደ እርሱ ጠራ ሁለት ሁለቱንም ይልካቸው ጀመር፥ በርኵሳን መናፍስትም ላይ ሥልጣን ሰጣቸው፥

⁸and he commanded them that they may take nothing for the way, except a staff only — no scrip, no bread, no brass in the girdle,

⁸ለመንገድም ከበትር በቀር እንጀራም ቢሆን ከረጢትም ቢሆን መሐለቅም በመቀነታቸው ቢሆን እንዳይዙ አዘዛቸው።

⁹but having been shod with sandals, and ye may not put on two coats.

⁹በእግራችሁ ጫማ አድርጉ እንጂ ሁለት እጀ ጠባብ አትልበሱ አለ።

¹⁰And he said to them, `Whenever ye may enter into a house, there remain till ye may depart thence,

¹⁰በማናቸውም ስፍራ ወደ ቤት ብትገቡ ከዚያ እስክትወጡ ድረስ በዚያው ተቀመጡ።

¹¹and as many as may not receive you, nor hear you, going out thence, shake off the dust that is under your feet for a testimony to them; verily I say to you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom or Gomorrah in a day of judgment than for that city.`

¹¹ከማይቀበሉአችሁና ከማይሰሙአችሁ ስፍራ ሁሉ፥ ከዚያ ወጥታችሁ ምስክር ይሆንባቸው ዘንድ ከእግራችሁ በታች ያለውን ትቢያ አራግፉ። እውነት እላችኋለሁ፥ ከዚያች ከተማ ይልቅ ለሰዶምና ለገሞራ በፍርድ ቀን ይቀልላቸዋል አላቸው።

¹²And having gone forth they were preaching that [men] might reform,

¹²ወጥተውም ንስሐ እንዲገቡ ሰበኩ፥ ብዙ አጋንንትንም አወጡ፥

¹³and many demons they were casting out, and they were anointing with oil many infirm, and they were healing [them].

¹³ብዙ ድውዮችንም ዘይት እየቀቡ ፈወሱአቸው።

¹⁴And the king Herod heard, (for his name became public,) and he said — `John the Baptist out of the dead was raised, and because of this the mighty powers are working in him.`

¹⁴ስሙም ተገልጦአልና ንጉሡ ሄሮድስ በሰማ ጊዜ። መጥምቁ ዮሐንስ ከሙታን ተነሥቶአል ስለዚህም ኃይል በእርሱ ይደረጋል አለ።

¹⁵Others said — `It is Elijah,` and others said — `It is a prophet, or as one of the prophets.`

¹⁵ሌሎችም። ኤልያስ ነው አሉ፤ ሌሎችም። ከነቢያት እንደ አንዱ ነቢይ ነው አሉ።

¹⁶And Herod having heard, said — `He whom I did behead — John — this is he; he was raised out of the dead.`

¹⁶ሄሮድስ ግን ሰምቶ። እኔ ራሱን ያስቈረጥሁት ዮሐንስ ይህ ነው እርሱ ከሙታን ተነሥቶአል አለ።

¹⁷For Herod himself, having sent forth, did lay hold on John, and bound him in the prison, because of Herodias the wife of Philip his brother, because he married her,

¹⁷ሄሮድስ የወንድሙን የፊልጶስን ሚስት ሄሮድያዳን አግብቶ ነበርና በእርስዋ ምክንያት ራሱ ልኮ ዮሐንስን አስይዞ በወኅኒ አሳስሮት ነበር፤

¹⁸for John said to Herod — `It is not lawful to thee to have the wife of thy brother;`

¹⁸ዮሐንስ ሄሮድስን። የወንድምህ ሚስት ለአንተ ልትሆን አልተፈቀደም ይለው ነበርና።

¹⁹and Herodias was having a quarrel with him, and was willing to kill him, and was not able,

¹⁹ሄሮድያዳ ግን ተቃውማው ልትገድለው ትፈልግ ነበር አልቻለችም፤

²⁰for Herod was fearing John, knowing him a man righteous and holy, and was keeping watch over him, and having heard him, was doing many things, and hearing him gladly.

²⁰ሄሮድስ ዮሐንስ ጻድቅና ቅዱስ ሰው እንደ ሆነ አውቆ ይፈራውና ይጠባበቀው ነበር፤ እርሱንም ሰምቶ በብዙ ነገር ያመነታ ነበር፤

²¹And a seasonable day having come, when Herod on his birthday was making a supper to his great men, and to the chiefs of thousands, and to the first men of Galilee,

²¹በደስታም ይሰማው ነበር። ሄሮድስም በተወለደበት ቀን ለመኳንንቱና ለሻለቆቹ ለገሊላም ሹማምንት ግብር ባደረገ ጊዜ ምቹ ቀን ሆነላትና

²²and the daughter of that Herodias having come in, and having danced, and having pleased Herod and those reclining (at meat) with him, the king said to the damsel, `Ask of me whatever thou wilt, and I will give to thee,`

²²የሄሮድያዳ ልጅ ገብታ ስትዘፍን ሄሮድስንና ከእርሱ ጋር የተቀመጡትን ደስ አሰኘቻቸው። ንጉሡም ብላቴናይቱን። የምትወጂውን ሁሉ ለምኚኝ እሰጥሽማለሁ አላት፤

²³and he sware to her — `Whatever thou mayest ask me, I will give to thee — unto the half of my kingdom.`

²³የመንግሥቴ እኩሌታ ስንኳ ቢሆን የምትለምኚውን ሁሉ እሰጥሻለሁ ብሎ ማለላት።

²⁴And she, having gone forth, said to her mother, `What shall I ask for myself?` and she said, `The head of John the Baptist;`

²⁴ወጥታም ለእናትዋ። ምን ልለምነው? አለች። እርስዋም። የመጥምቁን የዮሐንስን ራስ አለች።

²⁵and having come in immediately with haste unto the king, she asked, saying, `I will that thou mayest give me presently, upon a plate, the head of John the Baptist.`

²⁵ወዲያውም ፈጥና ወደ ንጉሡ ገብታ። የመጥምቁን የዮሐንስን ራስ በወጭት አሁን ልትሰጠኝ እወዳለሁ ብላ ለመነችው።

²⁶And the king — made very sorrowful — because of the oaths and of those reclining (at meat) with him, would not put her away,

²⁶ንጉሡም እጅግ አዝኖ ስለ መሐላው ከእርሱም ጋር ስለ ተቀመጡት ሊነሣት አልወደደም።

²⁷and immediately the king having sent a guardsman, did command his head to be brought,

²⁷ወዲያውም ንጉሡ ባለ ወግ ልኮ ራሱን እንዲያመጣ አዘዘው። ሄዶም በወኅኒ ራሱን ቈረጠ፥

²⁸and he having gone, beheaded him in the prison, and brought his head upon a plate, and did give it to the damsel, and the damsel did give it to her mother;

²⁸ራሱንም በወጭት አምጥቶ ለብላቴናይቱ ሰጣት፥ ብላቴናይቱም ለእናትዋ ሰጠች።

²⁹and having heard, his disciples came and took up his corpse, and laid it in the tomb.

²⁹ደቀ መዛሙርቱም ሰምተው መጡ በድኑንም ወስደው ቀበሩት።

³⁰And the apostles are gathered together unto Jesus, and they told him all, and how many things they did, and how many things they taught,

³⁰ሐዋርያትም ወደ ኢየሱስ ተሰብስበው ያደረጉትንና ያስተማሩትን ሁሉ ነገሩት።

³¹and he said to them, `Come ye yourselves apart to a desert place, and rest a little,` for those coming and those going were many, and not even to eat had they opportunity,

³¹እናንት ራሳችሁ ብቻችሁን ወደ ምድረ በዳ ኑና ጥቂት ዕረፉ አላቸው፤ የሚመጡና የሚሄዱ ብዙዎች ነበሩና፥ ለመብላት እንኳ ጊዜ አጡ።

³²and they went away to a desert place, in the boat, by themselves.

³²በታንኳውም ብቻቸውን ወደ ምድረ በዳ ሄዱ።

³³And the multitudes saw them going away, and many recognised him, and by land from all the cities they ran thither, and went before them, and came together to him,

³³ሰዎችም ሲሄዱ አዩአቸው ብዙዎችም አወቁአቸውና ከከተሞች ሁሉ በእግር እየሮጡ ወዲያ ቀደሙአቸው ወደ እርሱም ተሰበሰቡ።

³⁴and having come forth, Jesus saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion on them, that they were as sheep not having a shepherd, and he began to teach many things.

³⁴ኢየሱስም ወጥቶ ብዙ ሕዝብ አየና እረኛ እንደሌላቸው በጎች ስለ ነበሩ አዘነላቸው፥ ብዙም ነገር ያስተምራቸው ጀመር።

³⁵And now the hour being advanced, his disciples having come near to him, say, — `The place is desolate, and the hour is now advanced,

³⁵በዚያን ጊዜም ብዙ ሰዓት ካለፈ በኋላ ደቀ መዛሙርቱ ወደ እርሱ ቀርበው። ቦታው ምድረ በዳ ነው አሁንም መሽቶአል፤

³⁶let them away, that, having gone away to the surrounding fields and villages, they may buy to themselves loaves, for what they may eat they have not.`

³⁶የሚበሉት የላቸውምና በዙሪያ ወዳሉ ገጠሮችና መንደሮች ሄደው እንጀራ ለራሳቸው እንዲገዙ አሰናብታቸው አሉት።

³⁷And he answering said to them, `Give ye them to eat,` and they say to him, `Having gone away, may we buy two hundred denaries` worth of loaves, and give to them to eat?`

³⁷እርሱ ግን መልሶ። እናንተ የሚበሉትን ስጡአቸው አላቸው። ሄደን እንጀራ በሁለት መቶ ዲናር እንግዛላቸውን? እንዲበሉም እንስጣቸውን? አሉት።

³⁸And he saith to them, `How many loaves have ye? go and see;` and having known, they say, `Five, and two fishes.`

³⁸እርሱም። ስንት እንጀራ አላችሁ? ሂዱና እዩ አላቸው። ባወቁም ጊዜ። አምስት፥ ሁለትም ዓሣ አሉት።

³⁹And he commanded them to make all recline in companies upon the green grass,

³⁹ሁሉንም በየክፍሉ በለመለመ ሣር ላይ እንዲያስቀምጡአቸው አዘዛቸው።

⁴⁰and they sat down in squares, by hundreds, and by fifties.

⁴⁰መቶ መቶውና አምሳ አምሳው እየሆኑ በተራ በተራ ተቀመጡ።

⁴¹And having taken the five loaves and the two fishes, having looked up to the heaven, he blessed, and brake the loaves, and was giving to his disciples, that they may set before them, and the two fishes divided he to all,

⁴¹አምስቱንም እንጀራ ሁለቱንም ዓሣ ይዞ ወደ ሰማይ አሻቅቦ አየና ባረከ፥ እንጀራውንም ቈርሶ እንዲያቀርቡላቸው ለደቀ መዛሙርቱ ሰጠ፥

⁴²and they did all eat, and were filled,

⁴²ሁለቱን ዓሣ ደግሞ ለሁሉ ከፈለ። ሁሉም በልተው ጠገቡ፤

⁴³and they took up of broken pieces twelve hand-baskets full, and of the fishes,

⁴³ከቍርስራሹም አሥራ ሁለት መሶብ የሞላ አነሡ ከዓሣውም ደግሞ።

⁴⁴and those eating of the loaves were about five thousand men.

⁴⁴እንጀራውንም የበሉት ወንዶቹ አምስት ሺህ ነበሩ።

⁴⁵And immediately he constrained his disciples to go into the boat, and to go before to the other side, unto Bethsaida, till he may let the multitude away,

⁴⁵ወዲያውም ሕዝቡን ሲያሰናብት ሳለ ደቀ መዛሙርቱ በታንኳ ገብተው ወደ ማዶ ወደ ቤተ ሳይዳ እንዲቀድሙት ግድ አላቸው።

⁴⁶and having taken leave of them, he went away to the mountain to pray.

⁴⁶ካሰናበታቸውም በኋላ ሊጸልይ ወደ ተራራ ወጣ።

⁴⁷And evening having come, the boat was in the midst of the sea, and he alone upon the land;

⁴⁷በመሸም ጊዜ ታንኳይቱ በባሕር መካከል ሳለች እርሱ ብቻውን በምድር ላይ ነበረ።

⁴⁸and he saw them harassed in the rowing, for the wind was against them, and about the fourth watch of the night he doth come to them walking on the sea, and wished to pass by them.

⁴⁸ነፋስ ወደ ፊታቸው ነበረና እየቀዘፉ ሲጨነቁ አይቶ፥ ከሌሊቱ በአራተኛው ክፍል በባሕር ላይ እየሄደ ወደ እነርሱ መጣ፤ ሊያልፋቸውም ይወድ ነበር።

⁴⁹And they having seen him walking on the sea, thought [it] to be an apparition, and cried out,

⁴⁹እነርሱ ግን በባሕር ላይ ሲሄድ ባዩት ጊዜ ምትሀት መሰላቸውና ጮኹ፥

⁵⁰for they all saw him, and were troubled, and immediately he spake with them, and saith to them, `Take courage, I am [he], be not afraid.`

⁵⁰ሁሉ አይተውታልና፥ ታወኩም። ወዲያውም ተናገራቸውና። አይዞአችሁ፤ እኔ ነኝ፥ አትፍሩ አላቸው።

⁵¹And he went up unto them to the boat, and the wind lulled, and greatly out of measure were they amazed in themselves, and were wondering,

⁵¹ወደ እነርሱም ወደ ታንኳይቱ ገባ፥ ነፋሱም ተወ፤ በራሳቸውም ያለ መጠን እጅግ ተገረሙ፤

⁵²for they understood not concerning the loaves, for their heart hath been hard.

⁵²ስለ እንጀራው አላስተዋሉምና፤ ነገር ግን ልባቸው ደንዝዞ ነበር።

⁵³And having passed over, they came upon the land of Gennesaret, and drew to the shore,

⁵³ተሻግረውም ወደ ምድር ወደ ጌንሴሬጥ ደረሱ ታንኳይቱንም አስጠጉ።

⁵⁴and they having come forth out of the boat, immediately having recognised him,

⁵⁴ከታንኳይቱም ሲወጡ ወዲያው አውቀውት

⁵⁵having run about through all that region round about, they began upon the couches to carry about those ill, where they were hearing that he is,

⁵⁵በዚያች አገር ሁሉ ዙሪያ ሮጡና እርሱ እንዳለ ወደ ሰሙበት ስፍራ ሕመምተኞችን በአልጋ ላይ ያመጡ ጀመር።

⁵⁶and wherever he was going, to villages, or cities, or fields, in the market-places they were laying the infirm, and were calling upon him, that they may touch if it were but the fringe of his garment, and as many as were touching him were saved.

⁵⁶በገባበትም ስፍራ ሁሉ፥ መንደርም ከተማም ገጠርም ቢሆን፥ በገበያ ድውዮችን ያኖሩ ነበር፤ የልብሱንም ጫፍ እንኳ ሊዳስሱ ይለምኑት ነበር የዳሰሱትም ሁሉ ዳኑ።
