¹በዚያን ጊዜም ሰዎች መጥተው ጲላጦስ ደማቸውን ከመሥዋዕታቸው ጋር ስላደባለቀው ስለ ገሊላ ሰዎች አወሩለት።

¹Now there were some present at that very season who told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.

²ኢየሱስም መልሶ እንዲህ አላቸው። እነዚህ የገሊላ ሰዎች ይህ ስለ ደረሰባቸው ከገሊላ ሰዎች ሁሉ ይልቅ ኃጢአተኞች የሆኑ ይመስሉአችኋልን?

²And he answered and said unto them, Think ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they have suffered these things?

³እላችኋለሁ፥ አይደለም፤ ነገር ግን ንስሐ ባትገቡ ሁላችሁ እንዲሁ ትጠፋላችሁ።

³I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all in like manner perish.

⁴ወይስ በሰሌሆም ግንቡ የወደቀባቸውና የገደላቸው እነዚያ አሥራ ስምንት ሰዎች በኢየሩሳሌም ከሚኖሩት ሁሉ ይልቅ በደለኞች ይመስሉአችኋልን? አይደለም፥ እላችኋለሁ፤

⁴Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them, think ye that they were offenders above all the men that dwell in Jerusalem?

⁵ነገር ግን ንስሐ ባትገቡ ሁላችሁ እንደዚሁ ትጠፋላችሁ።

⁵I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

⁶ይህንም ምሳሌ አለ። ለአንድ ሰው በወይኑ አትክልት የተተከለች በለስ ነበረችው፥ ፍሬም ሊፈልግባት መጥቶ ምንም አላገኘም።

⁶And he spake this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came seeking fruit thereon, and found none.

⁷የወይን አትክልት ሠራተኛውንም። እነሆ፥ ከዚህች በለስ ፍሬ ልፈልግ ሦስት ዓመት እየመጣሁ ምንም አላገኘሁም፤ ቍረጣት፤ ስለ ምን ደግሞ መሬቱን ታጐሳቍላለች? አለው።

⁷And he said unto the vinedresser, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why doth it also cumber the ground?

⁸እርሱ ግን መልሶ። ጌታ ሆይ፥ ዙሪያዋን እስክኰተኵትላትና ፋንድያ እስካፈስላት ድረስ በዚች ዓመት ደግሞ ተዋት።

⁸And he answering saith unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it:

⁹ወደ ፊትም ብታፈራ፥ ደኅና ነው፤ ያለዚያ ግን ትቈርጣታለህ አለው።

⁹and if it bear fruit thenceforth, [well]; but if not, thou shalt cut it down.

¹⁰በሰንበትም በአንድ ምኵራብ ያስተምር ነበር።

¹⁰And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath day.

¹¹እነሆም፥ ከአሥራ ስምንት ዓመት ጀምሮ የድካም መንፈስ ያደረባት ሴት ነበረች፥ እርስዋም ጐባጣ ነበረች ቀንታም ልትቆም ከቶ አልተቻላትም።

¹¹And behold, a woman that had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years; and she was bowed together, and could in no wise lift herself up.

¹²ኢየሱስም ባያት ጊዜ ጠራትና። አንቺ ሴት፥ ከድካምሽ ተፈትተሻል አላት፥ እጁንም ጫነባት፤

¹²And when Jesus saw her, he called her, and said to her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.

¹³ያን ጊዜም ቀጥ አለች፥ እግዚአብሔርንም አመሰገነች።

¹³And he laid his hands upon her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.

¹⁴የምኵራብ አለቃ ግን ኢየሱስ በሰንበት ስለ ፈወሰ ተቈጥቶ መለሰና ሕዝቡን። ሊሠራባቸው የሚገባ ስድስት ቀኖች አሉ፤ እንግዲህ በእነርሱ መጥታችሁ ተፈወሱ እንጂ በሰንበት አይደለም አለ።

¹⁴And the ruler of the synagogue, being moved with indignation because Jesus had healed on the sabbath, answered and said to the multitude, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the day of the sabbath.

¹⁵ጌታም መልሶ። እናንተ ግብዞች፥ ከእናንተ እያንዳንዱ በሰንበት በሬውን ወይስ አህያውን ከግርግሙ ፈትቶ ውኃ ሊያጠጣው ይወስደው የለምን?

¹⁵But the Lord answered him, and said, Ye hypocrites, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering?

¹⁶ይህችም የአብርሃም ልጅ ሆና ከአሥራ ስምንት ዓመት ጀምሮ ሰይጣን ያሰራት በሰንበት ቀን ከዚህ እስራት ልትፈታ አይገባምን? አለው።

¹⁶And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan had bound, lo, [these] eighteen years, to have been loosed from this bond on the day of the sabbath?

¹⁷ይህንም ሲናገር ሳለ የተቃወሙት ሁሉ አፈሩ፤ ከእርሱም በተደረገው ድንቅ ሁሉ ሕዝቡ ሁሉ ደስ አላቸው።

¹⁷And as he said these things, all his adversaries were put to shame: and all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.

¹⁸እርሱም። የእግዚአብሔር መንግሥት ምን ትመስላለች፥ በምንስ አስመስላታለሁ?

¹⁸He said therefore, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I liken it?

¹⁹ሰው ወስዶ በአትክልቱ የጣላትን የሰናፍጭ ቅንጣት ትመስላለች፤ አደገችም ታላቅ ዛፍም ሆነች፥ የሰማይ ወፎችም በቅርንጫፎችዋ ሰፈሩ አለ።

¹⁹It is like unto a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his own garden; and it grew, and became a tree; and the birds of the heaven lodged in the branches thereof.

²⁰ደግሞም፥ የእግዚአብሔርን መንግሥት በምን አስመስላታለሁ?

²⁰And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God?

²¹ሴት ወስዳ ሁሉ እስኪቦካ ድረስ በሦስት መስፈሪያ ዱቄት የሸሸገችውን እርሾ ትመስላለች አለ።

²¹It is like unto leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till it was all leavened.

²²ወደ ኢየሩሳሌም ሲሄድ ከተማዎችንና መንደሮችን እያስተማረ ያልፍ ነበር።

²²And he went on his way through cities and villages, teaching, and journeying on unto Jerusalem.

²³አንድ ሰውም። ጌታ ሆይ፥ የሚድኑ ጥቂቶች ናቸውን? አለው። እርሱም እንዲህ አላቸው።

²³And one said unto him, Lord, are they few that are saved? And he said unto them,

²⁴በጠበበው በር ለመግባት ተጋደሉ፤ እላችኋለሁና፥ ብዙዎች ሊገቡ ይፈልጋሉ አይችሉምም።

²⁴Strive to enter in by the narrow door: for many, I say unto you, shall seek to enter in, and shall not be able.

²⁵ባለቤቱ ተነሥቶ በሩን ከቈለፈ በኋላ፥ እናንተ በውጭ ቆማችሁ። ጌታ ሆይ፥ ጌታ ሆይ፥ ክፈትልን እያላችሁ በሩን ልታንኳኩ ትጀምራላችሁ እርሱም መልሶ። ከወዴት እንደ ሆናችሁ አላውቃችሁም ይላችኋል።

²⁵When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, open to us; and he shall answer and say to you, I know you not whence ye are;

²⁶በዚያን ጊዜም። በፊትህ በላን ጠጣንም በአደባባያችንም አስተማርህ ልትሉ ትጀምራላችሁ፤

²⁶then shall ye begin to say, We did eat and drink in thy presence, and thou didst teach in our streets;

²⁷እርሱም። እላችኋለሁ፥ ከወዴት እንደ ሆናችሁ አላውቃችሁም፤ ሁላችሁ ዓመፀኞች፥ ከእኔ ራቁ ይላችኋል።

²⁷and he shall say, I tell you, I know not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.

²⁸አብርሃምንና ይስሐቅን ያዕቆብንም ነቢያትንም ሁሉ በእግዚአብሔር መንግሥት ባያችሁ ጊዜ፥ እናንተ ግን ወደ ውጭ ተጥላችሁ ስትቀሩ፥ በዚያ ልቅሶና ጥርስ ማፋጨት ይሆናል።

²⁸There shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and yourselves cast forth without.

²⁹ከምሥራቅና ከምዕራብም ከሰሜንና ከደቡብም ይመጣሉ፥ በእግዚአብሔርም መንግሥት በማዕድ ይቀመጣሉ።

²⁹And they shall come from the east and west, and from the north and south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God.

³⁰እነሆም፥ ከኋለኞች ፊተኞች የሚሆኑ አሉ፥ ከፊተኞችም ኋለኞች የሚሆኑ አሉ።

³⁰And behold, there are last who shall be first, and there are first who shall be last.

³¹በዚያን ሰዓት ከፈሪሳውያን አንዳንዱ ቀርበው። ሄሮድስ ሊገድልህ ይወዳልና ከዚህ ውጣና ሂድ አሉት።

³¹In that very hour there came certain Pharisees, saying to him, Get thee out, and go hence: for Herod would fain kill thee.

³²እንዲህም አላቸው። ሄዳችሁ ለዚያች ቀበሮ። እነሆ፥ ዛሬና ነገ አጋንንትን አወጣለሁ በሽተኞችንም እፈውሳለሁ፥ በሦስተኛውም ቀን እፈጸማለሁ በሉአት።

³²And he said unto them, Go and say to that fox, Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures to-day and to-morrow, and the third [day] I am perfected.

³³ዳሩ ግን ነቢይ ከኢየሩሳሌም ውጭ ይጠፋ ዘንድ አይገባውምና ዛሬና ነገ ከነገ በስቲያም ልሄድ ያስፈልገኛል።

³³Nevertheless I must go on my way to-day and to-morrow and the [day] following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem.

³⁴ኢየሩሳሌም፥ ኢየሩሳሌም፥ ነቢያትን የምትገድል ወደ እርስዋ የተላኩትንም የምትወግር፥ ዶሮ ጫጩቶችዋን በክንፎችዋ በታች እንደምትሰበስብ ልጆችሽን እሰበስብ ዘንድ ስንት ጊዜ ወደድሁ፥ እናንተም አልወደዳችሁም።

³⁴O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that killeth the prophets, and stoneth them that are sent unto her! how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen [gathereth] her own brood under her wings, and ye would not!

³⁵እነሆ፥ ቤታችሁ የተፈታ ሆኖ ይቀርላችኋል። እላችኋለሁም፥ በጌታ ስም የሚመጣ የተባረከ ነው እስክትሉ ድረስ ከእንግዲህ ወዲህ አታዩኝም።

³⁵Behold, your house is left unto you [desolate]: and I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
