¹ቃሉን ሁሉ በሕዝብ ጆሮዎች በጨረሰ ጊዜ ወደ ቅፍርናሆም ገባ።

¹After he had ended all his sayings in the ears of the people, he entered into Capernaum.

²አንድ የመቶ አለቃም ነበረ፤ የሚወደውም ባሪያው ታሞ ሊሞት ቀርቦ ነበር።

²And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear unto him, was sick and at the point of death.

³ስለ ኢየሱስም በሰማ ጊዜ የአይሁድን ሽማግሎች ወደ እርሱ ላከና መጥቶ ባሪያውን እንዲያድን ለመነው።

³And when he heard concerning Jesus, he sent unto him elders of the Jews, asking him that he would come and save his servant.

⁴እነርሱም ወደ ኢየሱስ መጥተው። ይህን ልታደርግለት ይገባዋል፤

⁴And they, when they came to Jesus, besought him earnestly, saying, He is worthy that thou shouldest do this for him;

⁵ሕዝባችንን ይወዳልና ምኵራብም ራሱ ሠርቶልናል ብለው አጽንተው ለመኑት።

⁵for he loveth our nation, and himself built us our synagogue.

⁶ኢየሱስም ከእነርሱ ጋር ሄደ። አሁንም ወደ ቤቱ በቀረበ ጊዜ የመቶው አለቃ ወዳጆቹን ወደ እርሱ ላከ፤ አለውም። ጌታ ሆይ በቤቴ ጣራ በታች ልትገባ አይገባኝምና አትድከም፤

⁶And Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself; for I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof:

⁷ስለዚህም ወደ አንተ ልመጣ እንዲገባኝ ሰውነቴን አልቈጠርሁትም፤ ነገር ግን ቃል ተናገር፥ ብላቴናዬም ይፈወሳል።

⁷wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say the word, and my servant shall be healed.

⁸እኔ ደግሞ ከሌሎች በታች የምገዛ ሰው ነኝ፥ ከእኔም በታች ወታደሮች አሉኝ፥ አንዱንም። ሂድ ብለው ይሄዳል፥ ሌላውንም። ና ብለው ይመጣል፥ ባሪያዬንም። ይህን አድርግ ብለው ያደርጋል።

⁸For I also am a man set under authority, having under myself soldiers: and I say to this one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.

⁹ኢየሱስም ይህን ሰምቶ በእርሱ ተደነቀ፥ ዘወርም ብሎ ለተከተሉት ሕዝብ። እላችኋለሁ፥ በእስራኤልስ እንኳ እንዲህ ያለ ትልቅ እምነት አላገኘሁም አላቸው።

⁹And when Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned and said unto the multitude that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.

¹⁰የተላኩትም ወደ ቤት ተመልሰው ባሪያውን ባለ ጤና ሆኖ አገኙት።

¹⁰And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole.

¹¹በነገውም ናይን ወደምትባል ወደ አንዲት ከተማ ሄደ፥ ደቀ መዛሙርቱም ብዙ ሕዝብም ከእርሱ ጋር አብረው ሄዱ።

¹¹And it came to pass soon afterwards, that he went to a city called Nain; and his disciples went with him, and a great multitude.

¹²ወደ ከተማይቱም በር በቀረበ ጊዜ፥ እነሆ፥ የሞተ ሰው ተሸክመው አወጡ፤ እርሱም ለእናቱ አንድ ልጅ ነበረ፥ እርስዋም መበለት ነበረች፥ ብዙም የከተማ ሕዝብ ከእርስዋ ጋር አብረው ነበሩ።

¹²Now when he drew near to the gate of the city, behold, there was carried out one that was dead, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her.

¹³ጌታም ባያት ጊዜ አዘነላትና። አታልቅሽ አላት።

¹³And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not.

¹⁴ቀርቦም ቃሬዛውን ነካ፥ የተሸከሙትም ቆሙ፤ አለውም። አንተ ጐበዝ፥ እልሃለሁ፥ ተነሣ።

¹⁴And he came nigh and touched the bier: and the bearers stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.

¹⁵የሞተውም ቀና ብሎ ተቀመጠ ሊናገርም ጀመረ፥ ለእናቱም ሰጣት።

¹⁵And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother.

¹⁶ሁሉንም ፍርሃት ያዛቸውና። ታላቅ ነቢይ በእኛ መካከል ተነሥቶአል፥ ደግሞ። እግዚአብሔር ሕዝቡን ጐበኘ እያሉ እግዚአብሔርን አመሰገኑ።

¹⁶And fear took hold on all: and they glorified God, saying, A great prophet is arisen among us: and, God hath visited his people.

¹⁷ይህም ዝና ስለ እርሱ በይሁዳ ሁሉ በዙሪያውም ባለች አገር ሁሉ ወጣ።

¹⁷And this report went forth concerning him in the whole of Judaea, and all the region round about.

¹⁸ደቀ መዛሙርቱም ለዮሐንስ እነዚህን ሁሉ አወሩ።

¹⁸And the disciples of John told him of all these things.

¹⁹ዮሐንስም ከደቀ መዛሙርቱ ሁለት ወደ እርሱ ጠርቶ። የሚመጣው አንተ ነህን ወይስ ሌላውን እንጠብቅ? ብሎ ወደ ኢየሱስ ላከ።

¹⁹And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to the Lord, saying, Art thou he that cometh, or look we for another?

²⁰ሰዎቹም ወደ እርሱ መጥተው። መጥምቁ ዮሐንስ። የሚመጣው አንተ ነህን ወይስ ሌላውን እንጠብቅ? ብሎ ወደ አንተ ላከን አሉት።

²⁰And when the men were come unto him, they said, John the Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that cometh, or look we for another?

²¹በዚያች ሰዓት ከደዌና ከሥቃይ ከክፉዎች መናፍስትም ብዙዎችን ፈወሰ፥ ለብዙ ዕውሮችም ማየትን ሰጠ።

²¹In that hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits; and on many that were blind he bestowed sight.

²²ኢየሱስም መልሶ። ሄዳችሁ ያያችሁትን የሰማችሁትንም ለዮሐንስ አውሩለት፤ ዕውሮች ያያሉ፥ አንካሶችም ይሄዳሉ፥ ለምጻሞችም ይነጻሉ፥ ደንቆሮዎችም ይሰማሉ፥ ሙታንም ይነሣሉ፥ ለድሆችም ወንጌል ይሰበካል፤

²²And he answered and said unto them, Go and tell John the things which ye have seen and heard; the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, the poor have good tidings preached to them.

²³በእኔም የማይሰናከለው ሁሉ ብፁዕ ነው አላቸው።

²³And blessed is he, whosoever shall find no occasion of stumbling in me.

²⁴የዮሐንስ መልክተኞችም ከሄዱ በኋላ፥ ለሕዝቡ ስለ ዮሐንስ ይናገር ጀመር እንዲህም አለ። ምን ልታዩ ወደ ምድረ በዳ ወጣችሁ? ነፋስ የሚወዘውዘውን ሸምበቆን? ወይስ ምን ልታዩ ወጣችሁ?

²⁴And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to behold? a reed shaken with the wind?

²⁵ቀጭን ልብስ የለበሰውን ሰውን? እነሆ፥ ጌጠኛ ልብስ የሚለብሱና በቅምጥልነት የሚኖሩ በነገሥታት ቤት አሉ።

²⁵But what went ye out to see? a man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they that are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings' courts.

²⁶ወይስ ምን ልታዩ ወጣችሁ? ነቢይን? አዎን እላችኋለሁ፥ ከነቢይም የሚበልጠውን።

²⁶But what went ye out to see? a prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.

²⁷እነሆ፥ መንገድህን በፊትህ የሚጠርግ መልክተኛዬን በፊትህ እልካለሁ ተብሎ የተጻፈለት ይህ ነው።

²⁷This is he of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, Who shall prepare thy way before thee.

²⁸እላችኋለሁ፥ ከሴቶች ከተወለዱት መካከል ከመጥምቁ ዮሐንስ የሚበልጥ ማንም የለም፤ በእግዚአብሔር መንግሥት ግን ከሁሉ የሚያንሰው ይበልጠዋል።

²⁸I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there is none greater than John: yet he that is but little in the kingdom of God is greater than he.

²⁹የሰሙትም ሕዝብ ሁሉ ቀራጮች እንኳ ሳይቀሩ በዮሐንስ ጥምቀት ተጠምቀው እግዚአብሔርን አጸደቁ፤

²⁹And all the people when they heard, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.

³⁰ፈሪሳውያንና ሕግ አዋቂዎች ግን በእርሱ ስለ አልተጠመቁ የእግዚአብሔርን ምክር ከራሳቸው ጣሉ።

³⁰But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected for themselves the counsel of God, being not baptized of him.

³¹እንግዲህ የዚችን ትውልድ ሰዎች በምን አስመስላቸዋለሁ? ማንንስ ይመስላሉ?

³¹Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation, and to what are they like?

³²በገበያ የሚቀመጡትን ልጆች ይመስላሉ፥ እርስ በርሳቸውም እየተጠራሩ። እንቢልታ ነፋንላችሁ አልዘፈናችሁምም፤ ሙሾ አወጣንላችሁ አላለቀሳችሁምም ይላል።

³²They are like unto children that sit in the marketplace, and call one to another; who say, We piped unto you, and ye did not dance; we wailed, and ye did not weep.

³³መጥምቁ ዮሐንስ እንጀራ ሳይበላ የወይን ጠጅም ሳይጠጣ መጥቶ ነበርና። ጋኔን አለበት አላችሁት።

³³For John the Baptist is come eating no bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a demon.

³⁴የሰው ልጅ እየበላና እየጠጣ መጥቶአልና። እነሆ፥ በላተኛና የወይን ጠጅ ጠጭ፥ የቀራጮችና የኃጢአተኞች ወዳጅ አላችሁት።

³⁴The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold, a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!

³⁵ጥበብም ለልጆችዋ ሁሉ ጸደቀች።

³⁵And wisdom is justified of all her children.

³⁶ከፈሪሳውያንም አንድ ከእርሱ ጋር ይበላ ዘንድ ለመነው፤ በፈሪሳዊው ቤትም ገብቶ በማዕድ ተቀመጠ።

³⁶And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he entered into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat.

³⁷እነሆም በዚያች ከተማ ኃጢአተኛ የነበረች አንዲት ሴት፤ በፈሪሳዊው ቤት በማዕድ እንደ ተቀመጠ ባወቀች ጊዜ፥ ሽቱ የሞላበት የአልባስጥሮስ ቢልቃጥ አመጣች።

³⁷And behold, a woman who was in the city, a sinner; and when she knew that he was sitting at meat in the Pharisee's house, she brought an alabaster cruse of ointment,

³⁸በስተ ኋላውም በእግሩ አጠገብ ቆማ እያለቀሰች በእንባዋ እግሩን ታርስ ጀመረች፥ በራስ ጠጕርዋም ታብሰው እግሩንም ትስመው ሽቱም ትቀባው ነበረች።

³⁸and standing behind at his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.

³⁹የጠራው ፈሪሳዊም አይቶ። ይህስ ነቢይ ቢሆን፥ ይህች የምትዳስሰው ሴት ማን እንደ ሆነች እንዴትስ እንደ ነበረች ባወቀ ነበር፥ ኃጢአተኛ ናትና ብሎ በልቡ አሰበ።

³⁹Now when the Pharisee that had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have perceived who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him, that she is a sinner.

⁴⁰ኢየሱስም መልሶ። ስምዖን ሆይ፥ የምነግርህ ነገር አለኝ አለው። እርሱም። መምህር ሆይ፥ ተናገር አለ።

⁴⁰And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Teacher, say on.

⁴¹ለአንድ አበዳሪ ሁለት ተበዳሪዎች ነበሩት በአንዱ አምስት መቶ ዲናር ነበረበት በሁለተኛውም አምሳ።

⁴¹A certain lender had two debtors: the one owed five hundred shillings, and the other fifty.

⁴²የሚከፍሉትም ቢያጡ ለሁለቱም ተወላቸው። እንግዲህ ከእነርሱ አብልጦ የሚወደው ማንኛው ነው?

⁴²When they had not [wherewith] to pay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore will love him most?

⁴³ስምዖንም መልሶ። ብዙ የተወለቱ ይመስለኛል አለ። እርሱም። በእውነት ፈረድህ አለው።

⁴³Simon answered and said, He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.

⁴⁴ወደ ሴቲቱም ዘወር ብሎ ስምዖንን እንዲህ አለው። ይህችን ሴት ታያለህን? እኔ ወደ ቤትህ ገባሁ፥ ውኃ ስንኳ ለእግሬ አላቀረብህልኝም፤ እርስዋ ግን በእንባዋ እግሬን አራሰች በጠጕርዋም አበሰች።

⁴⁴And turning to the woman, he said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath wetted my feet with her tears, and wiped them with her hair.

⁴⁵አንተ አልሳምኸኝም፤ እርስዋ ግን ከገባሁ ጀምራ እግሬን ከመሳም አላቋረጠችም።

⁴⁵Thou gavest me no kiss: but she, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss my feet.

⁴⁶አንተ ራሴን ዘይት አልቀባኸኝም፤ እርስዋ ግን እግሬን ሽቱ ቀባች።

⁴⁶My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but she hath anointed my feet with ointment.

⁴⁷ስለዚህ እልሃለሁ፥ እጅግ ወዳለችና ብዙ ያለው ኃጢአትዋ ተሰርዮላታል፤ ጥቂት ግን የሚሰረይለት ጥቂት ይወዳል።

⁴⁷Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, [the same] loveth little.

⁴⁸እርስዋንም። ኃጢአትሽ ተሰርዮልሻል አላት።

⁴⁸And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.

⁴⁹ከእርሱም ጋር በማዕድ ተቀምጠው የነበሩት በልባቸው። ኃጢአትን እንኳ የሚያስተሰርይ ይህ ማን ነው? ይሉ ጀመር።

⁴⁹And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that even forgiveth sins?

⁵⁰ሴቲቱንም። እምነትሽ አድኖሻል፤ በሰላም ሂጂ አላት።

⁵⁰And he said unto the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.
