¹And he said to them, `Verily I say to you, That there are certain of those standing here, who may not taste of death till they see the reign of God having come in power.`

¹እውነት እላችኋለሁ፥ በዚህ ከቆሙት ሰዎች የእግዚአብሔር መንግሥት በኃይል ስትመጣ እስኪያዩ ድረስ፥ ሞትን የማይቀምሱ አንዳንዶች አሉ አላቸው።

²And after six days doth Jesus take Peter, and James, and John, and bringeth them up to a high mount by themselves, alone, and he was transfigured before them,

²ከስድስት ቀንም በኋላ ኢየሱስ ጴጥሮስንና ያዕቆብን ዮሐንስንም ይዞ ወደ ረጅም ተራራ ብቻቸውን አወጣቸው። በፊታቸውም ተለወጠ፥ ልብሱም አንጸባረቀ፤

³and his garments became glittering, white exceedingly, as snow, so as a fuller upon the earth is not able to whiten [them].

³አጣቢም በምድር ላይ እንደዚያ ሊያነጣው እስከማይችል በጣም ነጭ ሆነ።

⁴And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus.

⁴ኤልያስና ሙሴም ታዩአቸው፥ ከኢየሱስም ጋር ይነጋገሩ ነበር።

⁵And Peter answering saith to Jesus, `Rabbi, it is good to us to be here; and we may make three booths, for thee one, and for Moses one, and for Elijah one:`

⁵ጴጥሮስም መልሶ ኢየሱስን። መምህር ሆይ፥ በዚህ መሆን ለእኛ መልካም ነውና አንድ ለአንተ አንድም ለሙሴ አንድም ለኤልያስ ሦስት ዳሶች እንሥራ አለው።

⁶for he was not knowing what he might say, for they were greatly afraid.

⁶እጅግ ስለ ፈሩ የሚለውን አያውቅም ነበር።

⁷And there came a cloud overshadowing them, and there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, `This is My Son — the Beloved, hear ye him;`

⁷ደመናም መጥቶ ጋረዳቸው፥ ከደመናውም። የምወደው ልጄ ይህ ነው፥ እርሱን ስሙት የሚል ድምፅ መጣ።

⁸and suddenly, having looked around, they saw no one any more, but Jesus only with themselves.

⁸ድንገትም ዞረው ሲመለከቱ ከእነርሱ ጋር ከኢየሱስ ብቻ በቀር ማንንም አላዩም።

⁹And as they are coming down from the mount, he charged them that they may declare to no one the things that they saw, except when the Son of Man may rise out of the dead;

⁹ከተራራውም ሲወርዱ የሰው ልጅ ከሙታን እስኪነሣ ድረስ ያዩትን ለማንም እንዳይነግሩ አዘዛቸው።

¹⁰and the thing they kept to themselves, questioning together what the rising out of the dead is.

¹⁰ቃሉንም ይዘው። ከሙታን መነሣት ምንድር ነው? እያሉ እርስ በርሳቸው ተጠያየቁ።

¹¹And they were questioning him, saying, that the scribes say that Elijah it behoveth to come first.

¹¹እነርሱም። ኤልያስ አስቀድሞ ሊመጣ እንዲገባው ጻፎች ስለ ምን ይላሉ? ብለው ጠየቁት።

¹²And he answering said to them, `Elijah indeed, having come first, doth restore all things; and how hath it been written concerning the Son of Man, that many things he may suffer, and be set at nought?

¹²እርሱም መልሶ። ኤልያስማ አስቀድሞ ይመጣል ሁሉንም ያቀናናል፤ ስለ ሰው ልጅም እንዴት ተብሎ ተጽፎአል? ብዙ መከራ እንዲቀበል እንዲናቅም።

¹³But I say to you, That also Elijah hath come, and they did to him what they willed, as it hath been written of him.`

¹³ነገር ግን እላችኋለሁ፥ ኤልያስ ደግሞ መጥቶአል፥ ስለ እርሱም እንደ ተጸፈ የወደዱትን ሁሉ አደረጉበት አላቸው።

¹⁴And having come unto the disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and scribes questioning with them,

¹⁴ወደ ደቀ መዛሙርቱም በመጣ ጊዜ ብዙ ሕዝብ ሲከብቡአቸው ጻፎችም ከእነርሱ ጋር ሲከራከሩ አየ።

¹⁵and immediately, all the multitude having seen him, were amazed, and running near, were saluting him.

¹⁵ወዲያውም ሕዝቡ ሁሉ ባዩት ጊዜ ደነገጡ፥ ወደ እርሱም ሮጠው እጅ ነሡት።

¹⁶And he questioned the scribes, `What dispute ye with them?`

¹⁶ጻፎችንም። ስለ ምን ከእነርሱ ጋር ትከራከራላችሁ? ብሎ ጠየቃቸው።

¹⁷and one out of the multitude answering said, `Teacher, I brought my son unto thee, having a dumb spirit;

¹⁷ከሕዝቡ አንዱ መልሶ። መምህር ሆይ፥ ዲዳ መንፈስ ያደረበትን ልጄን ወደ አንተ አምጥቼአለሁ፤

¹⁸and wherever it doth seize him, it doth tear him, and he foameth, and gnasheth his teeth, and pineth away; and I spake to thy disciples that they may cast it out, and they were not able.`

¹⁸በያዘውም ስፍራ ሁሉ ይጥለዋል፤ አረፋም ይደፍቃል፥ ጥርሱንም ያፋጫል ይደርቃልም፤ እንዲያወጡለትም ለደቀ መዛሙርትህ ነገርኋቸው፥ አልቻሉምም አለው።

¹⁹And he answering him, said, `O generation unbelieving, till when shall I be with you? till when shall I suffer you? bring him unto me;`

¹⁹እርሱም መልሶ። የማታምን ትውልድ ሆይ፥ እስከመቼ ከእናንተ ጋር እኖራለሁ? እስከ መቼስ እታገሣችኋለሁ? ወደ እኔ አምጡት አላቸው።

²⁰and they brought him unto him, and he having seen him, immediately the spirit tare him, and he, having fallen upon the earth, was wallowing — foaming.

²⁰ወደ እርሱም አመጡት። እርሱንም ባየ ጊዜ ያ መንፈስ ወዲያው አንፈራገጠው፤ ወደ ምድርም ወድቆ አረፋ እየደፈቀ ተንፈራፈረ።

²¹And he questioned his father, `How long time is it since this came to him?` and he said, `From childhood,

²¹አባቱንም። ይህ ከያዘው ስንት ዘመን ነው? ብሎ ጠየቀው። እርሱም። ከሕፃንነቱ ጀምሮ ነው፤

²²and many times also it cast him into fire, and into water, that it might destroy him; but if thou art able to do anything, help us, having compassion on us.`

²²ብዙ ጊዜም ሊያጠፋው ወደ እሳትም ወደ ውኃም ጣለው፤ ቢቻልህ ግን እዘንልን እርዳንም አለው።

²³And Jesus said to him, `If thou art able to believe! all things are possible to the one that is believing;`

²³ኢየሱስም። ቢቻልህ ትላለህ፤ ለሚያምን ሁሉ ይቻላል አለው።

²⁴and immediately the father of the child, having cried out, with tears said, `I believe, sir; be helping mine unbelief.`

²⁴ወዲያውም የብላቴናው አባት ጮኾ። አምናለሁ፤ አለማመኔን እርዳው አለ።

²⁵Jesus having seen that a multitude doth run together, rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, `Spirit — dumb and deaf — I charge thee, come forth out of him, and no more thou mayest enter into him;`

²⁵ኢየሱስም ሕዝቡ እንደ ገና ሲራወጥ አይቶ ርኵሱን መንፈስ ገሠጸና። አንተ ዲዳ ደንቆሮም መንፈስ፥ እኔ አዝሃለሁ፥ ከእርሱ ውጣ እንግዲህም አትግባበት አለው።

²⁶and having cried, and rent him much, it came forth, and he became as dead, so that many said that he was dead,

²⁶ጮኾም እጅግም አንፈራግጦት ወጣ፤ ብዙዎችም። ሞተ እስኪሉ ድረስ እንደ ሙት ሆነ።

²⁷but Jesus, having taken him by the hand, lifted him up, and he arose.

²⁷ኢየሱስ ግን እጁን ይዞ አስነሣው ቆመም።

²⁸And he having come into the house, his disciples were questioning him by himself — `Why were we not able to cast it forth?`

²⁸ወደ ቤትም ከገባ በኋላ ደቀ መዛሙርቱ። እኛ ልናወጣው ያልቻልን ስለ ምንድር ነው? ብለው ብቻውን ጠየቁት።

²⁹And he said to them, `This kind is able to come forth with nothing except with prayer and fasting.`

²⁹ይህ ወገን በጸሎትና በጦም ካልሆነ በምንም ሊወጣ አይችልም አላቸው።

³⁰And having gone forth thence, they were passing through Galilee, and he did not wish that any may know,

³⁰ከዚያም ወጥተው በገሊላ በኩል አለፉ፤ ደቀ መዛሙርቱንም ያስተምር ስለ ነበር ማንም ያውቅ ዘንድ አልወደደም፤ ለእነርሱም። የሰው ልጅ በሰዎች እጅ አልፎ ይሰጣል፥ ይገድሉትማል፥ ተገድሎም በሦስተኛው ቀን ይነሣል ይላቸው ነበር።

³¹for he was teaching his disciples, and he said to them, `The Son of Man is being delivered to the hands of men, and they shall kill him, and having been killed the third day he shall rise,`

³²እነርሱም ነገሩን አላስተዋሉም፥ እንዳይጠይቁትም ፈሩ።

³²but they were not understanding the saying, and they were afraid to question him.

³³ወደ ቅፍርናሆምም መጣ። በቤትም ሆኖ። በመንገድ እርስ በርሳችሁ ምን ተነጋገራችሁ? ብሎ ጠየቃቸው።

³³And he came to Capernaum, and being in the house, he was questioning them, `What were ye reasoning in the way among yourselves?`

³⁴እነርሱ ግን በመንገድ። ከሁሉ የሚበልጥ ማን ይሆን? ተባብለው ነበርና ዝም አሉ።

³⁴and they were silent, for with one another they did reason in the way who is greater;

³⁵ተቀምጦም አሥራ ሁለቱን ጠርቶ። ሰው ፊተኛ ሊሆን ቢወድ ከሁሉ በኋላ የሁሉም አገልጋይ ይሁን አላቸው።

³⁵and having sat down he called the twelve, and he saith to them, `If any doth will to be first, he shall be last of all, and minister of all.`

³⁶ሕፃንም ይዞ በመካከላቸው አቆመው አቅፎም።

³⁶And having taken a child, he set him in the midst of them, and having taken him in his arms, said to them,

³⁷እንደዚህ ካሉ ሕፃናት አንዱን በስሜ የሚቀበል ሁሉ እኔን ይቀበላል፤ የሚቀበለኝም ሁሉ የላከኝን እንጂ እኔን አይቀበልም አላቸው።

³⁷`Whoever may receive one of such children in my name, doth receive me, and whoever may receive me, doth not receive me, but Him who sent me.`

³⁸ዮሐንስ መልሶ። መምህር ሆይ፥ አንድ ሰው በስምህ አጋንንትን ሲያወጣ አየነው፥

³⁸And John did answer him, saying, `Teacher, we saw a certain one in thy name casting out demons, who doth not follow us, and we forbade him, because he doth not follow us.`

³⁹ስለማይከተለንም ከለከልነው አለው። ኢየሱስ ግን አለ። በስሜ ተአምር ሠርቶ በቶሎ በእኔ ላይ ክፉ መናገር የሚችል ማንም የለምና አትከልክሉት፤

³⁹And Jesus said, `Forbid him not, for there is no one who shall do a mighty work in my name, and shall be able readily to speak evil of me:

⁴⁰የማይቃወመን እርሱ ከእኛ ጋር ነውና።

⁴⁰for he who is not against us is for us;

⁴¹የክርስቶስ ስለ ሆናችሁ በስሜ ጽዋ ውኃ የሚያጠጣችሁ ሁሉ፥ ዋጋው እንዳይጠፋበት እውነት እላችኋለሁ።

⁴¹for whoever may give you to drink a cup of water in my name, because ye are Christ`s, verily I say to you, he may not lose his reward;

⁴²በእኔም ከሚያምኑት ከእነዚህ ከታናናሾቹ አንዱን የሚያሰናክል ሁሉ ትልቅ የወፍጮ ድንጋይ በአንገቱ ታስሮ ወደ ባሕር ቢጣል ይሻለው ነበር።

⁴²and whoever may cause to stumble one of the little ones believing in me, better is it for him if a millstone is hanged about his neck, and he hath been cast into the sea.

⁴³እጅህ ብታሰናክልህ ቍረጣት፤ ሁለት እጅ ኖሮህ ትላቸው ወደማይሞትበት እሳቱም ወደማይጠፋበት ወደ ገሃነም ወደማይጠፋ እሳት ከመሄድ ጕንድሽ ሆነህ ወደ ሕይወት መግባት ይሻላል።

⁴³`And if thy hand may cause thee to stumble, cut it off; it is better for thee maimed to enter into the life, than having the two hands, to go away to the gehenna, to the fire — the unquenchable —

⁴⁵እግርህ ብታሰናክልህ ቍረጣት፤ ሁለት እግር ኖሮህ ትላቸው ወደማይሞትበት እሳቱም ወደማይጠፋበት ወደ ገሃነም ወደማይጠፋ እሳት ከመጣል አንካሳ ሆነህ ወደ ሕይወት መግባት ይሻልሃል።

⁴⁴where there worm is not dying, and the fire is not being quenched.

⁴⁷ዓይንህ ብታሰናክልህ አውጣት፤ ሁለት ዓይን ኖሮህ ትላቸው ወደማይሞትበት እሳቱም ወደማይጠፋበት ወደ ገሃነመ እሳት ከመጣል አንዲት ዓይን ኖራህ ወደ እግዚአብሔር መንግሥት መግባት ይሻልሃል።

⁴⁵`And if thy foot may cause thee to stumble, cut it off; it is better for thee to enter into the life lame, than having the two feet to be cast to the gehenna, to the fire — the unquenchable —

⁴⁹ሰው ሁሉ በእሳት ይቀመማልና፥ መሥዋዕትም ሁሉ በጨው ይቀመማል።

⁴⁶where there worm is not dying, and the fire is not being quenched.

⁵⁰ጨው መልካም ነው፤ ጨው ግን አልጫ ቢሆን በምን ታጣፍጡታላችሁ? በነፍሳችሁ ጨው ይኑርባችሁ፥ እርስ በርሳችሁም ተስማሙ።

⁴⁷And if thine eye may cause thee to stumble, cast it out; it is better for thee one-eyed to enter into the reign of God, than having two eyes, to be cast to the gehenna of the fire —

⁴⁸where their worm is not dying, and the fire is not being quenched;

⁴⁹for every one with fire shall be salted, and every sacrifice with salt shall be salted.

⁵⁰The salt [is] good, but if the salt may become saltless, in what will ye season [it]? Have in yourselves salt, and have peace in one another.`
