¹በሰንበትም በእርሻ መካከል ያልፍ ነበር ደቀ መዛሙርቱም እሸት ይቀጥፉ በእጃቸውም እያሹ ይበሉ ነበር።

¹Now it came to pass on a sabbath, that he was going through the grainfields; and his disciples plucked the ears, and did eat, rubbing them in their hands.

²ከፈሪሳውያን ግን አንዳንዶቹ። በሰንበት ሊያደርግ ያልተፈቀደውን ስለ ምን ታደርጋላችሁ? አሉአቸው።

²But certain of the Pharisees said, Why do ye that which it is not lawful to do on the sabbath day?

³ኢየሱስም ለእነርሱ መልሶ። ዳዊት በተራበ ጊዜ እርሱ አብረውት ከነበሩ ጋር ያደረገውን፥ ወደ እግዚአብሔር ቤት እንደ ገባ ከካህናት ብቻ በቀር መብላቱ ያልተፈቀደውን የመሥዋዕትን እንጀራ ይዞ እንደ በላ፥ ከእርሱም ጋር ለነበሩት ደግሞ እንደ ሰጣቸው ይህን አላነበባችሁምን? አለ።

³And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read even this, what David did, when he was hungry, he, and they that were with him;

⁵የሰው ልጅ የሰንበት ጌታ ነው አላቸውም።

⁴how he entered into the house of God, and took and ate the showbread, and gave also to them that were with him; which it is not lawful to eat save for the priests alone?

⁶በሌላው ሰንበትም ወደ ምኵራብ ገብቶ አስተማረ፤ በዚያም ቀኝ እጁ የሰለለች ሰው ነበረ፤

⁵And he said unto them, The Son of man is lord of the sabbath.

⁷ጻፎችና ፈሪሳውያንም መክሰሻ ሊያገኙበት በሰንበት ይፈውስ እንደ ሆነ ይጠባበቁት ነበር።

⁶And it came to pass on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught: and there was a man there, and his right hand was withered.

⁸እርሱ ግን አሳባቸውን አውቆ እጁ የሰለለችውን ሰው። ተነሣና በመካከል ቁም አለው፤ ተነሥቶም ቆመ።

⁷And the scribes and the Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath; that they might find how to accuse him.

⁹ኢየሱስም። እጠይቃችኋለሁ፤ በሰንበት በጎ ማድረግ ተፈቅዶአልን ወይስ ክፉ? ነፍስ ማዳንን ወይስ መግደል? አላቸው።

⁸But he knew their thoughts; and he said to the man that had his hand withered, Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth.

¹⁰ሁላቸውንም ዙሪያውን አየና ሰውዬውን። እጅህን ዘርጋ አለው። እርሱም እንዲህ አደረገ፥ እጁም እንደ ሁለተኛይቱ ዳነች።

⁹And Jesus said unto them, I ask you, Is it lawful on the sabbath to do good, or to do harm? to save a life, or to destroy it?

¹¹እነርሱም ቍጣ ሞላባቸው፥ በኢየሱስም ምን እንዲያደርጉበት እርስ በርሳቸው ተባባሉ።

¹⁰And he looked round about on them all, and said unto him, Stretch forth thy hand. And he did [so]: and his hand was restored.

¹²በነዚህም ወራት ይጸልይ ዘንድ ወደ ተራራ ወጣ፥ ሌሊቱንም ሁሉ ወደ እግዚአብሔር ሲጸልይ አደረ።

¹¹But they were filled with madness; and communed one with another what they might do to Jesus.

¹³በነጋም ጊዜ ደቀ መዛሙርቱን ጠራ፥ ከእነርሱም አሥራ ሁለት መረጠ ደግሞም ሐዋርያት ብሎ ሰየማቸው፤

¹²And it came to pass in these days, that he went out into the mountain to pray; and he continued all night in prayer to God.

¹⁴እነርሱም፥ ጴጥሮስ ብሎ እንደ ገና የሰየመው ስምዖን፥ ወንድሙም እንድርያስ፥ ያዕቆብም ዮሐንስም፥ ፊልጶስም በርተሎሜዎስም፥

¹³And when it was day, he called his disciples; and he chose from them twelve, whom also he named apostles:

¹⁵ማቴዎስም ቶማስም፥ የእልፍዮስ ልጅ ያዕቆብም ቀናተኛ የሚባለው ስምዖንም፥

¹⁴Simon, whom he also named Peter, and Andrew his brother, and James and John, and Philip and Bartholomew,

¹⁶የያዕቆብ ይሁዳም፥ አሳልፎ የሰጠውም የአስቆሮቱ ይሁዳ ናቸው።

¹⁵and Matthew and Thomas, and James [the son] of Alphaeus, and Simon who was called the Zealot,

¹⁷ከእነርሱም ጋር ወርዶ በተካከለ ስፍራ ቆመ፥ ከደቀ መዛሙርቱም ወገን ብዙ ሕዝብ ነበረ፥ ደግሞም ሊሰሙትና ከደዌአቸው ሊፈወሱ ከይሁዳ ሁሉ ከኢየሩሳሌምም ከጢሮስና ከሲዶና ባሕር ዳርም የመጡ ብዙ ሰዎች ነበሩ፤

¹⁶and Judas [the son] of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor;

¹⁸ከርኵሳንም መናፍስት ይሠቃዩ የነበሩት ተፈወሱ፤

¹⁷and he came down with them, and stood on a level place, and a great multitude of his disciples, and a great number of the people from all Judaea and Jerusalem, and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases;

¹⁹ከእርሱም ኃይል ወጥቶ ሁሉን ይፈውስ ነበርና ሕዝቡ ሁሉ ሊዳስሱት ይሹ ነበር።

¹⁸and they that were troubled with unclean spirits were healed.

²⁰እርሱም ወደ ደቀ መዛሙርቱ ዓይኑን አነሣ እንዲህም አላቸው። እናንተ ድሆች ብፁዓን ናችሁ፥ የእግዚአብሔር መንግሥት የእናንተ ነውና።

¹⁹And all the multitude sought to touch him; for power came forth from him, and healed [them] all.

²¹እናንተ አሁን የምትራቡ ብፁዓን ናችሁ፥ ትጠግባላችሁና። እናንተ አሁን የምታለቅሱ ብፁዓን ናችሁ፥ ትስቃላችሁና።

²⁰And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed [are] ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.

²²ሰዎች ስለ ሰው ልጅ ሲጠሉአችሁ ሲለዩአችሁም ሲነቅፉአችሁም ስማችሁንም እንደ ክፉ ሲያወጡ፥ ብፁዓን ናችሁ።

²¹Blessed [are] ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed [are] ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh.

²³እነሆ፥ ዋጋችሁ በሰማይ ታላቅ ነውና በዚያን ቀን ደስ ይበላችሁ ዝለሉም፤ አባቶቻቸው ነቢያትን እንዲህ ያደርጉባቸው ነበርና።

²²Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you [from their company], and reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake.

²⁴ነገር ግን እናንተ ባለ ጠጎች ወዮላችሁ፥ መጽናናታችሁን ተቀብላችኋልና።

²³Rejoice in that day, and leap [for joy]: for behold, your reward is great in heaven; for in the same manner did their fathers unto the prophets.

²⁵እናንተ አሁን የጠገባችሁ ወዮላችሁ፥ ትራባላችሁና። እናንተ አሁን የምትስቁ ወዮላችሁ፥ ታዝናላችሁና ታለቅሱማላችሁ።

²⁴But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation.

²⁶ሰዎች ሁሉ መልካም ሲናገሩላችሁ፥ ወዮላችሁ፤ አባቶቻቸው ለሐሰተኞች ነቢያት እንዲሁ ያደርጉላቸው ነበርና።

²⁵Woe unto you, ye that are full now! for ye shall hunger. Woe [unto you], ye that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep.

²⁷ነገር ግን ለእናንተ ለምትሰሙ እላችኋለሁ፥ ጠላቶቻችሁን ውደዱ፥ ለሚጠሉአችሁ መልካም አድርጉ፥

²⁶Woe [unto you], when all men shall speak well of you! for in the same manner did their fathers to the false prophets.

²⁸የሚረግሙአችሁንም መርቁ፥ ስለሚበድሉአችሁም ጸልዩ።

²⁷But I say unto you that hear, Love your enemies, do good to them that hate you,

²⁹ጕንጭህን ለሚመታህ ደግሞ ሁለተኛውን ስጠው፥ መጐናጸፊያህንም ለሚወስድ እጀ ጠባብህን ደግሞ አትከልክለው።

²⁸bless them that curse you, pray for them that despitefully use you.

³⁰ለሚለምንህ ሁሉ ስጥ፥ ገንዘብህንም የሚወስድ እንዲመልስ አትጠይቀው።

²⁹To him that smiteth thee on the [one] cheek offer also the other; and from him that taketh away thy cloak withhold not thy coat also.

³¹ሰዎችም ሊያደርጉላችሁ እንደምትወዱ እናንተ ደግሞ እንዲሁ አድርጉላቸው።

³⁰Give to every one that asketh thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again.

³²የሚወዱአችሁንማ ብትወዱ፥ ምን ምስጋና አላችሁ? ኃጢአተኞች ደግሞ የሚወዱአቸውን ይወዳሉና።

³¹And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.

³³መልካምም ለሚያደርጉላችሁ መልካም ብታደርጉ፥ ምን ምስጋና አላችሁ? ኃጢአተኞች ደግሞ ያን ያደርጋሉና።

³²And if ye love them that love you, what thank have ye? for even sinners love those that love them.

³⁴እንድትወስዱባቸው ተስፋ ለምታደርጉአቸው ብታበድሩ፥ ምን ምስጋና አላችሁ? ኃጢአተኞች ደግሞ በትክክል እንዲቀበሉ ለኃጢአተኞች ያበድራሉ።

³³And if ye do good to them that do good to you, what thank have ye? for even sinners do the same.

³⁵ነገር ግን ጠላቶቻችሁን ውደዱ፤ መልካም አድርጉ፤ ምንም ተስፋ ሳታደርጉም አበድሩ፥ ዋጋችሁም ታላቅ ይሆናል፥ የልዑልም ልጆች ትሆናላችሁ፥ እርሱ ለማያመሰግኑ ለክፉዎችም ቸር ነውና።

³⁴And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? even sinners lend to sinners, to receive again as much.

³⁶አባታችሁ ርኅሩኅ እንደ ሆነ ርኅሩኆች ሁኑ።

³⁵But love your enemies, and do [them] good, and lend, never despairing; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be sons of the Most High: for he is kind toward the unthankful and evil.

³⁷አትፍረዱ አይፈረድባችሁምም፤ አትኰንኑ አትኰነኑምም። ይቅር በሉ ይቅርም ትባላላችሁ።

³⁶Be ye merciful, even as your Father is merciful.

³⁸ስጡ ይሰጣችሁማል፤ በምትሰፍሩበት መስፈሪያ ተመልሶ ይሰፈርላችኋልና፥ የተጨቈነና የተነቀነቀ የተትረፈረፈም መልካም መስፈሪያ በእቅፋችሁ ይሰጣችኋል።

³⁷And judge not, and ye shall not be judged: and condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: release, and ye shall be released:

³⁹ምሳሌም አላቸው። ዕውር ዕውርን ሊመራ ይችላልን? ሁለቱ በጕድጓድ አይወድቁምን?

³⁸give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, shall they give into your bosom. For with what measure ye mete it shall be measured to you again.

⁴⁰ደቀ መዝሙር ከመምህሩ አይበልጥም፤ ፈጽሞ የተማረ ሁሉ ግን እንደ መምህሩ ይሆናል።

³⁹And he spake also a parable unto them, Can the blind guide the blind? shall they not both fall into a pit?

⁴¹በወንድምህም ዓይን ያለውን ጉድፍ ስለ ምን ታያለህ፥ በራስህ ዓይን ግን ያለውን ምሰሶ ስለ ምን አትመለከትም?

⁴⁰The disciple is not above his teacher: but every one when he is perfected shall be as his teacher.

⁴²በዓይንህ ያለውን ምሰሶ ራስህ ሳታይ፥ እንዴት ወንድምህን። ወንድሜ ሆይ፥ በዓይንህ ያለውን ጉድፍ ላውጣ ፍቀድልኝ ልትል ትችላለህ? አንተ ግብዝ፥ አስቀድመህ ከዓይንህ ምሰሶውን አውጣ ከዚያም በኋላ በወንድምህ ዓይን ያለውን ጉድፍ ታወጣ ዘንድ አጥርተህ ታያለህ።

⁴¹And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

⁴³ክፉ ፍሬ የሚያደርግ መልካም ዛፍ የለምና፥ እንዲሁም መልካም ፍሬ የሚያደርግ ክፉ ዛፍ የለም።

⁴²Or how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me cast out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote that is in thy brother's eye.

⁴⁴ዛፍ ሁሉ ከፍሬው ይታወቃልና፤ ከእሾህ በለስ አይለቅሙም፥ ከአጣጥ ቍጥቋጦም ወይን አይቈርጡም።

⁴³For there is no good tree that bringeth forth corrupt fruit; nor again a corrupt tree that bringeth forth good fruit.

⁴⁵በልብ ሞልቶ ከተረፈው አፉ ይናገራልና መልካም ሰው ከልብ መልካም መዝገብ መልካሙን ያወጣል፥ ክፉ ሰውም ከልብ ክፉ መዝገብ ክፉውን ያወጣል።

⁴⁴For each tree is known by its own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes.

⁴⁶ስለ ምን። ጌታ ሆይ፥ ጌታ ሆይ፥ ትሉኛላችሁ፥ የምለውንም አታደርጉም?

⁴⁵The good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and the evil [man] out of the evil [treasure] bringeth forth that which is evil: for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.

⁴⁷ወደ እኔ የሚመጣ ሁሉ ቃሌንም ሰምቶ የሚያደርገው፥ ማንን እንዲመስል አሳያችኋለሁ።

⁴⁶And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?

⁴⁸ቤት ሲሠራ አጥልቆ የቆፈረ በዓለት ላይም የመሠረተ ሰውን ይመስላል፤ ጐርፍም በመጣ ጊዜ ወንዙ ያን ቤት ገፋው፥ በዓለት ላይም ስለ ተመሠረተ ሊያናውጠው አልቻለም።

⁴⁷Every one that cometh unto me, and heareth my words, and doeth them, I will show you to whom he is like:

⁴⁹ሰምቶ የማያደርገው ግን ያለ መሠረት በምድር ላይ ቤቱን የሠራ ሰውን ይመስላል፤ ወንዙም ገፋው ወዲያውም ወደቀ የዚያ ቤት አወዳደቅም ታላቅ ሆነ።

⁴⁸he is like a man building a house, who digged and went deep, and laid a foundation upon the rock: and when a flood arose, the stream brake against that house, and could not shake it: because it had been well builded.

⁴⁹But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that built a house upon the earth without a foundation; against which the stream brake, and straightway it fell in; and the ruin of that house was great.
