¹አሥራ ሁለቱንም ሐዋርያት በአንድነት ወደ እርሱ ጠርቶ በአጋንንት ሁሉ ላይ ደዌንም ይፈውሱ ዘንድ ኃይልና ሥልጣን ሰጣቸው፤

¹And he called the twelve together, and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.

²የእግዚአብሔርንም መንግሥት እንዲሰብኩና ድውዮችን እንዲፈውሱ ላካቸው፥

²And he sent them forth to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.

³እንዲህም አላቸው። በትርም ቢሆን፥ ከረጢትም ቢሆን፥ እንጀራም ቢሆን፥ ብርም ቢሆን ለመንገድ ምንም አትያዙ፥ ሁለት እጀ ጠባብም አይሁንላችሁ።

³And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staff, nor wallet, nor bread, nor money; neither have two coats.

⁴በማናቸውም በምትገቡበት ቤት በዚያ ተቀመጡ ከዚያም ውጡ።

⁴And into whatsoever house ye enter, there abide, and thence depart.

⁵ማናቸውም የማይቀበሉአችሁ ቢሆኑ፥ ከዚያ ከተማ ወጥታችሁ ምስክር እንዲሆንባቸው ከእግራችሁ ትቢያ አራግፉ።

⁵And as many as receive you not, when ye depart from that city, shake off the dust from your feet for a testimony against them.

⁶ወጥተውም ወንጌልን እየሰበኩና በስፍራው ሁሉ እየፈወሱ በየመንደሩ ያልፉ ነበር።

⁶And they departed, and went throughout the villages, preaching the gospel, and healing everywhere.

⁷የአራተኛው ክፍል ገዥ ሄሮድስም የተደረገውን ነገር ሁሉ ሰምቶ፥ አንዳንድ ሰዎች።

⁷Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done: and he was much perplexed, because that it was said by some, that John was risen from the dead;

⁸ዮሐንስ ከሙታን ተነሣ፥ ሌሎችም። ኤልያስ ተገለጠ፥ ሌሎችም። ከቀደሙት ነቢያት አንዱ ተነሥቶአል ይሉ ስለ ነበሩ አመነታ።

⁸and by some, that Elijah had appeared; and by others, that one of the old prophets was risen again.

⁹ሄሮድስም። ዮሐንስንስ እኔ ራሱን አስቈረጥሁት፤ ይህ እንዲህ ያለ ነገር የምሰማበት ማን ነው? አለ። ሊያየውም ይሻ ነበር።

⁹And Herod said, John I beheaded: but who is this, about whom I hear such things? And he sought to see him.

¹⁰ሐዋርያትም ተመልሰው ያደረጉትን ሁሉ ነገሩት። ከእርሱ ጋርም ወስዶአቸው ቤተ ሳይዳ ከምትባል ከተማ አጠገብ ወደ ምድረ በዳ ለብቻው ፈቀቅ አለ።

¹⁰And the apostles, when they were returned, declared unto him what things they had done. And he took them, and withdrew apart to a city called Bethsaida.

¹¹ሕዝቡም አውቀው ተከተሉት፤ ተቀብሎአቸውም ስለ እግዚአብሔር መንግሥት ይነግራቸው ነበር፥ መፈወስ ያስፈለጋቸውንም ፈወሳቸው።

¹¹But the multitudes perceiving it followed him: and he welcomed them, and spake to them of the kingdom of God, and them that had need of healing he cured.

¹²ቀኑም ይመሽ ጀመር፤ አሥራ ሁለቱም ቀርበው። በዚህ በምድረ በዳ ነንና በዙሪያችን ወዳሉ መንደሮችና ገጠሮች ሄደው እንዲያድሩና ምግብ እንዲያገኙ ሕዝቡን አሰናብት አሉት።

¹²And the day began to wear away; and the twelve came, and said unto him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages and country round about, and lodge, and get provisions: for we are here in a desert place.

¹³እርሱ ግን። እናንተ የሚበሉትን ስጡአቸው አላቸው። እነርሱም። ሄደን ለዚህ ሁሉ ሕዝብ ምግብ ካልገዛን፥ ከአምስት እንጀራና ከሁለት ዓሣ የሚበልጥ የለንም አሉት፤

¹³But he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no more than five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy food for all this people.

¹⁴አምስት ሺህ ሰዎች ያህሉ ነበርና። ለደቀ መዛሙርቱ። በየክፍሉ አምሳ አምሳውን አስቀምጡአቸው አላቸው።

¹⁴For they were about five thousand men. And he said unto his disciples, Make them sit down in companies, about fifty each.

¹⁵እንዲህም አደረጉ ሁሉንም አስቀመጡአቸው።

¹⁵And they did so, and made them all sit down.

¹⁶አምስቱንም እንጀራና ሁለቱን ዓሣ ይዞ፥ ወደ ሰማይ አሻቅቦ አየና ባረካቸው ቆርሶም ለሕዝቡ እንዲያቀርቡ ለደቀ መዛርሙርቱ ሰጠ።

¹⁶And he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and brake; and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude.

¹⁷ሁሉም በልተው ጠገቡ፥ ከእነርሱም የተረፈውን ቍርስራሽ አሥራ ሁለት መሶብ ወሰዱ።

¹⁷And they ate, and were all filled: and there was taken up that which remained over to them of broken pieces, twelve baskets.

¹⁸ለብቻውም ሲጸልይ ደቀ መዛሙርቱ ከእርሱ ጋር ነበሩና። ሕዝቡ እኔ ማን እንደ ሆንሁ ይላሉ? ብሎ ጠየቃቸው።

¹⁸And it came to pass, as he was praying apart, the disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying, Who do the multitudes say that I am?

¹⁹እነርሱም መልሰው። መጥምቁ ዮሐንስ፥ ሌሎችም። ኤልያስ፥ ሌሎችም። ከቀደሙት ነቢያት አንዱ ተነሥቶአል ይላሉ አሉት።

¹⁹And they answering said, John the Baptist; but others [say], Elijah; and others, that one of the old prophets is risen again.

²⁰እናንተስ እኔ ማን እንደ ሆንሁ ትላላችሁ? አላቸው። ጴጥሮስም መልሶ። ከእግዚአብሔር የተቀባህ ነህ አለ።

²⁰And he said unto them, But who say ye that I am? And Peter answering said, The Christ of God.

²¹እርሱ ግን። የሰው ልጅ ብዙ መከራ ሊቀበል በሽማግሌዎችም በካህናት አለቆችም በጻፎችም ሊጣል ሊገደልም በሦስተኛውም ቀን ሊነሣ ይገባዋል ብሎ ለማንም ይህን እንዳይናገሩ አስጠንቅቆ አዘዘ።

²¹But he charged them, and commanded [them] to tell this to no man;

²³ለሁሉም እንዲህ አላቸው። በኋላዬ ሊመጣ የሚወድ ቢኖር፥ ራሱን ይካድ መስቀሉንም ዕለት ዕለት ተሸክሞ ይከተለኝ።

²²saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.

²⁴ነፍሱን ሊያድን የሚወድ ሁሉ ያጠፋታልና፤ ስለ እኔ ነፍሱን የሚያጠፋ ሁሉ ግን እርሱ ያድናታል።

²³And he said unto all, If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

²⁵ሰው ዓለሙን ሁሉ አትርፎ ራሱን ቢያጠፋ ወይም ቢያጐድል ምን ይጠቅመዋል?

²⁴For whosoever would save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.

²⁶በእኔና በቃሌ የሚያፍር ሁሉ፥ የሰው ልጅ በክብሩ በአባቱና በቅዱሳን መላእክቱ ክብርም ሲመጣ በእርሱ ያፍርበታል።

²⁵For what is a man profited, if he gain the whole world, and lose or forfeit his own self?

²⁷እውነት እላችኋለሁ፥ በዚህ ከሚቆሙት ሰዎች የእግዚአብሔርን መንግሥት እስኪያዩ ድረስ ሞትን የማይቀምሱ አንዳንድ አሉ።

²⁶For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in his own glory, and [the glory] of the Father, and of the holy angels.

²⁸ከዚህም ቃል በኋላ ስምንት ቀን ያህል ቈይቶ ጴጥሮስንና ዮሐንስን ያዕቆብንም ይዞ ሊጸልይ ወደ ተራራ ወጣ።

²⁷But I tell you of a truth, There are some of them that stand here, who shall in no wise taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.

²⁹ሲጸልይም የፊቱ መልክ ተለወጠ፤ ልብሱም ተብለጭልጮ ነጭ ሆነ።

²⁸And it came to pass about eight days after these sayings, that he took with him Peter and John and James, and went up into the mountain to pray.

³⁰እነሆም፥ ሁለት ሰዎች እነርሱም ሙሴና ኤልያስ ከእርሱ ጋር ይነጋገሩ ነበር፤

²⁹And as he was praying, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment [became] white [and] dazzling.

³¹በክብርም ታይተው በኢየሩሳሌም ሊፈጽም ስላለው ስለ መውጣቱ ይናገሩ ነበር።

³⁰And behold, there talked with him two men, who were Moses and Elijah;

³²ነገር ግን ጴጥሮስንና ከእርሱ ጋር የነበሩት እንቅልፍ ከበደባቸው፤ ነቅተው ግን ክብሩንና ከእርሱ ጋር ቆመው የነበሩትን ሁለት ሰዎች አዩ።

³¹who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.

³³ከእርሱም ሲለዩ ጴጥሮስ ኢየሱስን። አቤቱ፥ በዚህ መሆን ለእኛ መልካም ነውና አንድ ለአንተ አንድም ለሙሴ አንድም ለኤልያስ ሦስት ዳሶች እንሥራ አለው፤ የሚለውንም አያውቅም ነበር።

³²Now Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: but when they were fully awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.

³⁴ይህንም ሲናገር ደመና መጣና ጋረዳቸው፤ ወደ ደመናውም ሲገቡ ሳሉ ፈሩ።

³³And it came to pass, as they were parting from him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah: not knowing what he said.

³⁵ከደመናውም። የመረጥሁት ልጄ ይህ ነው፥ እርሱን ስሙት የሚል ድምፅ መጣ።

³⁴And while he said these things, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.

³⁶ድምፁም ከመጣ በኋላ ኢየሱስ ብቻውን ሆኖ ተገኘ። እነርሱም ዝም አሉ ካዩትም ነገር በዚያ ወራት ምንም ለማንም አላወሩም።

³⁵And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my Son, my chosen: hear ye him.

³⁷በነገውም ከተራራ ሲወርዱ ብዙ ሕዝብ ተገናኙት።

³⁶And when the voice came, Jesus was found alone. And they held their peace, and told no man in those days any of the things which they had seen.

³⁸እነሆም፥ ከሕዝቡ አንድ ሰው እንዲህ እያለ ጮኸ። መምህር ሆይ፥ ለእኔ አንድ ልጅ ነውና ልጄን እንድታይልኝ እለምንሃለሁ።

³⁷And it came to pass, on the next day, when they were come down from the mountain, a great multitude met him.

³⁹እነሆም፥ ጋኔን ይይዘዋል፥ ድንገትም ይጮኻል አረፋም እያስደፈቀው ያንፈራግጠዋል፥ እየቀጠቀጠም በጭንቅ ይለቀዋል፤

³⁸And behold, a man from the multitude cried, saying, Teacher, I beseech thee to look upon my son; for he is mine only child:

⁴⁰ደቀ መዛሙርትህንም እንዲያወጡት ለመንሁ፥ አልቻሉምም።

³⁹and behold, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it teareth him that he foameth, and it hardly departeth from him, bruising him sorely.

⁴¹ኢየሱስም መልሶ። እናንተ የማታምን ጠማማ ትውልድ፥ እስከ መቼ ከእናንተ ጋር እኖራለሁ? እስከ መቼስ እታገሣችኋለሁ? ልጅህን ወደዚህ አምጣው አለ።

⁴⁰And I besought thy disciples to cast it out; and they could not.

⁴²ሲቀርብም ጋኔኑ ጣለውና አንፈራገጠው፤ ኢየሱስ ግን ርኵሱን መንፈስ ገሥጾ ብላቴናውን ፈወሰው ለአባቱም መለሰው።

⁴¹And Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and bear with you? bring hither thy son.

⁴³ሁሉም ከእግዚአብሔር ታላቅነት የተነሣ ተገረሙ። ሁሉም ኢየሱስ ባደረገው ሁሉ ሲደነቁ፥

⁴²And as he was yet a coming, the demon dashed him down, and tare [him] grievously. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.

⁴⁴ለደቀ መዛሙርቱ። የሰው ልጅ በሰው እጅ ይሰጥ ዘንድ አለውና እናንተ ይህን ቃል በጆሮአችሁ አኑሩ አለ።

⁴³And they were all astonished at the majesty of God. But while all were marvelling at all the things which he did, he said unto his disciples,

⁴⁵እነርሱ ግን ይህን ነገር አላስተዋሉም፥ እንዳይገባቸውም ተሰውሮባቸው ነበር፤ ስለዚህ ነገርም እንዳይጠይቁት ፈሩ።

⁴⁴Let these words sink into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered up into the hands of men.

⁴⁶ከእነርሱም ማን እንዲበልጥ ክርክር ተነሣባቸው።

⁴⁵But they understood not this saying, and it was concealed from them, that they should not perceive it; and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.

⁴⁷ኢየሱስም የልባቸውን አሳብ አውቆ ሕፃንን ያዘ፤ በአጠገቡም አቁሞ።

⁴⁶And there arose a reasoning among them, which of them was the greatest.

⁴⁸ማንም ይህን ሕፃን በስሜ የሚቀበል እኔን ይቀበላል፤ የሚቀበለኝም ሁሉ የላከኝን ይቀበላል፤ ከሁላችሁ የሚያንስ እርሱ ታላቅ ነውና አላቸው።

⁴⁷But when Jesus saw the reasoning of their heart, he took a little child, and set him by his side,

⁴⁹ዮሐንስም መልሶ። አቤቱ፥ አንድ ሰው በስምህ አጋንንትን ሲያወጣ አየነው፥ ከእኛ ጋርም ስለማይከተል ከለከልነው አለው።

⁴⁸and said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this little child in my name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same is great.

⁵⁰ኢየሱስ ግን። የማይቃወማችሁ ከእናንተ ጋር ነውና አትከልክሉት አለው።

⁴⁹And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out demons in thy name; and we forbade him, because he followeth not with us.

⁵¹የሚወጣበትም ወራት በቀረበ ጊዜ ወደ ኢየሩሳሌም ለመሄድ ፊቱን አቀና፥

⁵⁰But Jesus said unto him, Forbid [him] not: for he that is not against you is for you.

⁵²በፊቱም መልክተኞችን ሰደደ። ሄደውም ሊያሰናዱለት ወደ አንድ ወደ ሳምራውያን መንደር ገቡ፤

⁵¹And it came to pass, when the days were well-nigh come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,

⁵³ፊቱም ወደ ኢየሩሳሌም እንደሚሄድ ስለ ነበረ አልተቀበሉትም።

⁵²and sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.

⁵⁴ደቀ መዛሙርቱም ያዕቆብና ዮሐንስ አይተው። ጌታ ሆይ፥ ኤልያስ ደግሞ እንዳደረገ እሳት ከሰማይ ወርዶ ያጥፋቸው እንል ዘንድ ትወዳለህን? አሉት።

⁵³And they did not receive him, because his face was [as though he were] going to Jerusalem.

⁵⁵እርሱ ግን ዘወር ብሎ ገሠጻቸውና። ምን ዓይነት መንፈስ እንደ ሆነላችሁ አታውቁም፤

⁵⁴And when his disciples James and John saw [this], they said, Lord, wilt thou that we bid fire to come down from heaven, and consume them?

⁵⁶የሰው ልጅ የሰውን ነፍስ ሊያድን እንጂ ሊያጠፋ አልመጣም አለ። ወደ ሌላ መንደርም ሄዱ።

⁵⁵But he turned, and rebuked them.

⁵⁷እነርሱም በመንገድ ሲሄዱ አንድ ሰው። ጌታ ሆይ፥ ወደ ምትሄድበት ሁሉ እከተልሃለሁ አለው።

⁵⁶And they went to another village.

⁵⁸ኢየሱስም። ለቀበሮዎች ጕድጓድ ለሰማይም ወፎች መሳፈሪያ አላቸው፥ ለሰው ልጅ ግን ራሱን የሚያስጠጋበት የለውም አለው።

⁵⁷And as they went on the way, a certain man said unto him, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.

⁵⁹ሌላውንም። ተከተለኝ አለው። እርሱ ግን። ጌታ ሆይ፥ አስቀድሜ ልሂድና አባቴን እቀብር ዘንድ ፍቀድልኝ አለ።

⁵⁸And Jesus said unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the heaven [have] nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.

⁶⁰ኢየሱስም። ሙታናቸውን እንዲቀብሩ ሙታንን ተዋቸው፤ አንተስ ሄደህ የእግዚአብሔርን መንግሥት ስበክ አለው።

⁵⁹And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.

⁶¹ደግሞ ሌላው። ጌታ ሆይ፥ እከተልሃለሁ፤ ነገር ግን አስቀድሜ ከቤቴ ሰዎች እንድሰናበት ፍቀድልኝ አለ።

⁶⁰But he said unto him, Leave the dead to bury their own dead; but go thou and publish abroad the kingdom of God.

⁶²ኢየሱስ ግን። ማንም ዕርፍ በእጁ ይዞ ወደ ኋላ የሚመለከት ለእግዚአብሔር መንግሥት የተገባ አይደለም አለው።

⁶¹And another also said, I will follow thee, Lord; but first suffer me to bid farewell to them that are at my house.

⁶²But Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
