¹ከዚህም በኋላ እየሰበከና ስለ እግዚአብሔር መንግሥት የምሥራች እየተናገረ በየከተማይቱ በየመንደሩም ያልፍ ነበር፤

¹And it came to pass soon afterwards, that he went about through cities and villages, preaching and bringing the good tidings of the kingdom of God, and with him the twelve,

²አሥራ ሁለቱም ከእርሱ ጋር ነበሩ፥ ከክፉዎች መናፍስትና ከደዌም ተፈውሰው የነበሩ አንዳንድ ሴቶች፤ እነርሱም ሰባት አጋንንት የወጡላት መግደላዊት የምትባል ማርያም፥

²and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary that was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,

³የሄሮድስ አዛዥ የኩዛ ሚስት ዮሐናም ሶስናም ብዙዎች ሌሎችም ሆነው በገንዘባቸው ያገለግሉት ነበር።

³and Joanna the wife of Chuzas Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, who ministered unto them of their substance.

⁴ብዙ ሕዝብም በተሰበሰቡ ጊዜ ከከተማዎችም ሁሉ ወደ እርሱ በመጡ ጊዜ በምሳሌ እንዲህ ሲል ተናገራቸው።

⁴And when a great multitude came together, and they of every city resorted unto him, he spake by a parable:

⁵ዘሪ ዘሩን ሊዘራ ወጣ። ሲዘራም አንዳንዱ በመንገድ ዳር ወደቀ ተረገጠም፥ የሰማይ ወፎችም በሉት።

⁵The sower went forth to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden under foot, and the birds of the heaven devoured it.

⁶ሌላውም በዓለት ላይ ወደቀ፥ በበቀለም ጊዜ እርጥበት ስላልነበረው ደረቀ።

⁶And other fell on the rock; and as soon as it grew, it withered away, because it had no moisture.

⁷ሌላውም በእሾህ መካከል ወደቀ፥ እሾሁም አብሮ በቀለና አነቀው።

⁷And other fell amidst the thorns; and the thorns grew with it, and choked it.

⁸ሌላውም በመልካም መሬት ላይ ወደቀ፤ በበቀለም ጊዜ መቶ እጥፍ አፈራ። ይህን በተናገረ ጊዜ። የሚሰማ ጆሮ ያለው ይስማ ብሎ ጮኸ።

⁸And other fell into the good ground, and grew, and brought forth fruit a hundredfold. As he said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

⁹ደቀ መዛሙርቱም። ይህ ምሳሌ ምንድር ነው? ብለው ጠየቁት።

⁹And his disciples asked him what this parable might be.

¹⁰እርሱም እንዲህ አለ። ለእናንተ የእግዚአብሔርን መንግሥት ምሥጢር ማወቅ ተሰጥቶአችኋል፤ ለሌሎች ግን እያዩ እንዳያዩ እየሰሙም እንዳያስተውሉ በምሳሌ ነው።

¹⁰And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to the rest in parables; that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.

¹¹ምሳሌው ይህ ነው። ዘሩ የእግዚአብሔር ቃል ነው።

¹¹Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

¹²በመንገድ ዳርም ያሉት የሚሰሙ ናቸው፤ ከዚህ በኋላም ዲያብሎስ ይመጣል አምነውም እንዳይድኑ ቃሉን ከልባቸው ይወስዳል።

¹²And those by the way side are they that have heard; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word from their heart, that they may not believe and be saved.

¹³በዓለት ላይም ያሉት ሲሰሙ ቃሉን በደስታ የሚቀበሉ ናቸው፤ እነርሱም ለጊዜው ብቻ ያምናሉ እንጂ በፈተና ጊዜ የሚክዱ ሥር የሌላቸው ናቸው።

¹³And those on the rock [are] they who, when they have heard, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.

¹⁴በእሾህ መካከልም የወደቀ እነዚህ የሚሰሙት ናቸው፤ መንገዳቸውንም ሄደው በሕይወት ዘመን በአሳብና በባለ ጠግነት ምቾት ይታነቃሉ፥ ሙሉ ፍሬም አያፈሩም።

¹⁴And that which fell among the thorns, these are they that have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of [this] life, and bring no fruit to perfection.

¹⁵በመልካም መሬት ላይም የወደቀ እነርሱ በመልካምና በበጎ ልብ ቃሉን ሰምተው የሚጠብቁት በመጽናትም ፍሬ የሚያፈሩ ናቸው።

¹⁵And that in the good ground, these are such as in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, hold it fast, and bring forth fruit with patience.

¹⁶መብራትንም አብርቶ በዕቃ የሚከድነው ወይም ከአልጋ በታች የሚያኖረው የለም፥ የሚገቡት ሰዎች ብርሃኑን እንዲያዩ በመቅረዝ ላይ ያኖረዋል እንጂ።

¹⁶And no man, when he hath lighted a lamp, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but putteth it on a stand, that they that enter in may see the light.

¹⁷የማይገለጥ የተሰወረ የለምና፥ የማይታወቅም ወደ ግልጥም የማይመጣ የተሸሸገ የለም።

¹⁷For nothing is hid, that shall not be made manifest; nor [anything] secret, that shall not be known and come to light.

¹⁸እንግዲህ እንዴት እንድትሰሙ ተጠበቁ፤ ላለው ሁሉ ይሰጠዋልና፥ ከሌለውም ሁሉ፥ ያው ያለው የሚመስለው እንኳ ይወሰድበታል።

¹⁸Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that which he thinketh he hath.

¹⁹እናቱና ወንድሞቹም ወደ እርሱ መጡ፥ ከሕዝቡም ብዛት የተነሣ ሊያገኙት አልተቻላቸውም።

¹⁹And there came to him his mother and brethren, and they could not come at him for the crowd.

²⁰እናትህና ወንድሞችህ ሊያዩህ ወድደው በውጭ ቆመዋል ብለው ነገሩት።

²⁰And it was told him, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee.

²¹እርሱም መልሶ። እናቴና ወንድሞቼስ የእግዚአብሔርን ቃል ሰምተው የሚያደርጉት እነዚህ ናቸው አላቸው።

²¹But he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these that hear the word of God, and do it.

²²ከዕለታቱም በአንዱ እርሱ ከደቀ መዛሙርቱ ጋር ወደ ታንኳ ገብቶ። ወደ ባሕር ማዶ እንሻገር አላቸው፤ ተነሡም።

²²Now it came to pass on one of those days, that he entered into a boat, himself and his disciples; and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake: and they launched forth.

²³ሲሄዱም አንቀላፋ። ዓውሎ ነፋስም በባሕር ላይ ወረደ፥ ውኃውም ታንኳይቱን ይሞላ ነበርና ይጨነቁ ነበር።

²³But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filling [with water], and were in jeopardy.

²⁴ቀርበውም። አቤቱ፥ አቤቱ ጠፋን እያሉ አስነሡት። እርሱም ነቅቶ ነፋሱንና የውኃውን ማዕበል ገሠጻቸው፤ ተዉም፥ ጽጥታም ሆነ።

²⁴And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. And he awoke, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.

²⁵እርሱም። እምነታችሁ የት ነው? አላቸው። ፈርተውም ተደነቁ፥ እርስ በርሳቸውም። እንዲህ ነፋሳትንና ውኃን እንኳ የሚያዝ ለእርሱም የሚታዘዙለት ይህ ማን ነው? አሉ።

²⁵And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And being afraid they marvelled, saying one to another, Who then is this, that he commandeth even the winds and the water, and they obey him?

²⁶በገሊላም አንጻር ወዳለችው ወደ ጌርጌሴኖን አገር በታንኳ ደረሱ።

²⁶And they arrived at the country of the Gerasenes, which is over against Galilee.

²⁷ወደ ምድርም በወጣ ጊዜ አጋንንት ያደሩበት አንድ ሰው ከከተማ ወጥቶ ተገናኘው፥ ከብዙ ዘመንም ጀምሮ ልብስ ሳይለብስ በመቃብር እንጂ በቤት አይኖርም ነበር።

²⁷And when he was come forth upon the land, there met him a certain man out of the city, who had demons; and for a long time he had worn no clothes, and abode not in [any] house, but in the tombs.

²⁸ኢየሱስንም ባየ ጊዜ ጮኾ በፊቱ ተደፋ በታላቅ ድምፅም። የልዑል እግዚአብሔር ልጅ ኢየሱስ ሆይ፥ ከአንተ ጋር ምን አለኝ? እንዳትሣቀየኝ እለምንሃለሁ አለ።

²⁸And when he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the Most High God? I beseech thee, torment me not.

²⁹ርኵሱን መንፈስ ከሰውዬው እንዲወጣ ያዘው ነበርና። ብዙ ዘመንም ይዞት ነበርና፥ በሰንሰለትና በእግር ብረትም ታስሮ ይጠበቅ ነበር፤ እስራቱንም ሰብሮ በጋኔኑ ወደ ምድረ በዳ ይነዳ ነበር።

²⁹For he was commanding the unclean spirit to come out from the man. For oftentimes it had seized him: and he was kept under guard, and bound with chains and fetters; and breaking the bands asunder, he was driven of the demon into the deserts.

³⁰ኢየሱስም። ስምህ ማን ነው? ብሎ ጠየቀው። እርሱም ብዙዎች አጋንንት ገብተውበት ነበርና። ሌጌዎን አለው።

³⁰And Jesus asked him, What is thy name? And he said, Legion; for many demons were entered into him.

³¹ወደ ጥልቁም ሊሄዱ እንዳያዛቸው ለመኑት።

³¹And they entreated him that he would not command them to depart into the abyss.

³²በዚያም በተራራው የብዙ እሪያ መንጋ ይሰማሩ ነበር፤ ወደ እነርሱም ሊገቡ እንዲፈቅድላቸው ለመኑት፤ ፈቀደላቸውም።

³²Now there was there a herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they entreated him that he would give them leave to enter into them. And he gave them leave.

³³አጋንንትም ከሰውዬው ወጥተው ወደ እሪያዎች ገቡ፥ መንጋውም ከአፋፉ ወደ ባሕር ተጣደፉና ሰጠሙ።

³³And the demons came out from the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd rushed down the steep into the lake, and were drowned.

³⁴እረኞችም የሆነውን ባዩ ጊዜ ሸሽተው በከተማውና በአገሩ አወሩት።

³⁴And when they that fed them saw what had come to pass, they fled, and told it in the city and in the country.

³⁵የሆነውን ነገር ሊያዩ ወጥተውም ወደ ኢየሱስ መጡ፥ አጋንንትም የወጡለትን ሰው ለብሶ ልቡም ተመልሶ በኢየሱስ እግር አጠገብ ተቀምጦ አገኙትና ፈሩ።

³⁵And they went out to see what had come to pass; and they came to Jesus, and found the man, from whom the demons were gone out, sitting, clothed and in his right mind, at the feet of Jesus: and they were afraid.

³⁶ያዩትም ደግሞ አጋንንት ያደሩበት ሰው እንዴት እንደ ዳነ አወሩላቸው።

³⁶And they that saw it told them how he that was possessed with demons was made whole.

³⁷በዙሪያውም በጌርጌሴኖን አገር ያሉት ሕዝብ ሁሉ ታላቅ ፍርሃት ይዞአቸዋልና ከእነርሱ እንዲሄድ ለመኑት በታንኳም ገብቶ ተመለሰ።

³⁷And all the people of the country of the Gerasenes round about asked him to depart from them, for they were holden with great fear: and he entered into a boat, and returned.

³⁸አጋንንት የወጡለት ሰውም ከእርሱ ጋር ይኖር ዘንድ ለመነው፤

³⁸But the man from whom the demons were gone out prayed him that he might be with him: but he sent him away, saying,

³⁹ነገር ግን። ወደ ቤትህ ተመለስ፥ እግዚአብሔር እንዴት ያለ ታላቅ ነገር እንዳደረግልህ ንገር ብሎ አሰናበተው። ኢየሱስም እንዴት ያለ ታላቅ ነገር እንዳደረገለት በከተማው ሁሉ እየሰበከ ሄደ።

³⁹Return to thy house, and declare how great things God hath done for thee. And he went his way, publishing throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done for him.

⁴⁰ኢየሱስም በተመለሰ ጊዜ ሁሉ ይጠብቁት ነበርና ሕዝቡ ተቀበሉት።

⁴⁰And as Jesus returned, the multitude welcomed him; for they were all waiting for him.

⁴¹እነሆም፥ ኢያኢሮስ የሚባል ሰው መጣ፥ እርሱም የምኵራብ አለቃ ነበረ በኢየሱስም እግር ላይ ወድቆ ወደ ቤቱ እንዲገባ ለመነው፤

⁴¹And behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus' feet, and besought him to come into his house;

⁴²አሥራ ሁለት ዓመት የሆናት አንዲት ሴት ልጅ ነበረችውና፤ እርስዋም ለሞት ቀርባ ነበረች። ሲሄድም ሕዝቡ ያጨናንቁት ነበር።

⁴²for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. But as he went the multitudes thronged him.

⁴³ከአሥራ ሁለት ዓመትም ጀምሮ ደም የሚፈሳት ሴት ነበረች፥ ትዳርዋንም ሁሉ ለባለመድኃኒቶች ከስራ ማንም ሊፈውሳት አልተቻለውም።

⁴³And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, who had spent all her living upon physicians, and could not be healed of any,

⁴⁴በኋላውም ቀርባ የልብሱን ጫፍ ዳሰሰች፥ የደምዋም ፈሳሽ በዚያን ጊዜ ቆመ።

⁴⁴came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately the issue of her blood stanched.

⁴⁵ኢየሱስም። የዳሰሰኝ ማን ነው? አለ። ሁሉም በካዱ ጊዜ፥ ጴጥሮስና ከእርሱ ጋር የነበሩት። አቤቱ፥ ሕዝቡ ያጫንቁሃልና ያጋፉህማል፤ የዳሰሰኝ ማን ነው ትላለህን? አሉ።

⁴⁵And Jesus said, Who is it that touched me? And when all denied, Peter said, and they that were with him, Master, the multitudes press thee and crush [thee].

⁴⁶ኢየሱስ ግን። አንድ ሰው ዳስሶኛል፥ ኃይል ከእኔ እንደ ወጣ እኔ አውቃለሁና አለ።

⁴⁶But Jesus said, Some one did touch me; for I perceived that power had gone forth from me.

⁴⁷ሴቲቱም እንዳልተሰወረች ባየች ጊዜ እየተንቀጠቀጠች መጥታ በፊቱ ተደፋች፥ በምን ምክንያትም እንደ ዳሰሰችው ፈጥናም እንደ ተፈወሰች በሕዝቡ ሁሉ ፊት አወራች።

⁴⁷And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him declared in the presence of all the people for what cause she touched him, and how she was healed immediately.

⁴⁸እርሱም። ልጄ ሆይ፥ እምነትሽ አድኖሻል፤ በሰላም ሂጂ አላት።

⁴⁸And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.

⁴⁹እርሱም ገና ሲናገር አንድ ሰው ከምኵራብ አለቃው ቤት መጥቶ። ልጅህ ሞታለች፤ እንግዲህ መምህሩን አታድክም አለ።

⁴⁹While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue's [house], saying, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Teacher.

⁵⁰ኢየሱስ ግን ሰምቶ። አትፍራ፤ እመን ብቻ ትድንማለች ብሎ መለሰለት።

⁵⁰But Jesus hearing it, answered him, Fear not: only believe, and she shall be made whole.

⁵¹ወደ ቤትም ሲገባ ከጴጥሮስና ከያዕቆብ ከዮሐንስም ከብላቴናይቱም አባትና እናት በቀር ማንም ከእርሱ ጋር ይገባ ዘንድ አልፈቀደም።

⁵¹And when he came to the house, he suffered not any man to enter in with him, save Peter, and John, and James, and the father of the maiden and her mother.

⁵²ሁሉም እያለቀሱላት ዋይ ዋይ ይሉ ነበር። እርሱ ግን። አታልቅሱ፤ ተኝታለች እንጂ አልሞተችም አለ።

⁵²And all were weeping, and bewailing her: but he said, Weep not; for she is not dead, but sleepeth.

⁵³እንደ ሞተችም አውቀው በጣም ሳቁበት።

⁵³And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.

⁵⁴እርሱ ግን እጅዋን ይዞ። አንቺ ብላቴና፥ ተነሺ ብሎ ጮኸ።

⁵⁴But he, taking her by the hand, called, saying, Maiden, arise.

⁵⁵ነፍስዋም ተመለሰች፥ ፈጥናም ቆመች፥ የምትበላውንም እንዲሰጡአት አዘዘ።

⁵⁵And her spirit returned, and she rose up immediately: and he commanded that [something] be given her to eat.

⁵⁶ወላጆችዋም ተገረሙ፤ እርሱ ግን የሆነውን ለማንም እንዳይነግሩ አዘዛቸው።

⁵⁶And her parents were amazed: but he charged them to tell no man what had been done.
