¹ኢየሱስም መንፈስ ቅዱስ መልቶበት ከዮርዳኖስ ተመለሰ፥ በመንፈስም ወደ ምድረ በዳ ተመርቶ፥

¹But Jesus, full of [the] Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness

²አርባ ቀን ከዲያብሎስ ተፈተነ። በነዚያም ቀኖች ምንም አልበላም፥ ከተጨረሱም በኋላ ተራበ።

²forty days, tempted of the devil; and in those days he did not eat anything, and when they were finished he hungered.

³ዲያብሎስም። የእግዚአብሔር ልጅ ከሆንህ፥ ይህን ድንጋይ። እንጀራ ሁን ብለህ እዘዝ አለው።

³And the devil said to him, If thou be Son of God, speak to this stone, that it become bread.

⁴ኢየሱስም። ሰው በእግዚአብሔር ቃል ሁሉ እንጂ በእንጀራ ብቻ አይኖርም ተብሎ ተጽፎአል ብሎ መለሰለት።

⁴And Jesus answered unto him saying, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.

⁵ዲያብሎስም ረጅም ወደ ሆነ ተራራ አውጥቶ የዓለምን መንግሥታት ሁሉ በቅጽበት አሳየው።

⁵And [the devil], leading him up into a high mountain, shewed him all the kingdoms of the habitable world in a moment of time.

⁶ዲያብሎስም። ይህ ሥልጣን ሁሉ ክብራቸውም ለእኔ ተሰጥቶአል ለምወደውም ለማንም እሰጠዋለሁና ለአንተ እሰጥሃለሁ፤

⁶And the devil said to him, I will give thee all this power, and their glory; for it is given up to me, and to whomsoever I will I give it.

⁷ስለዚህ አንተ በእኔ ፊት ብትሰግድ፥ ሁሉ ለአንተ ይሆናል አለው።

⁷If therefore *thou* wilt do homage before me, all [of it] shall be thine.

⁸ኢየሱስም መልሶ። ለጌታ ለአምላክህ ስገድ እርሱንም ብቻ አምልክ ተብሎ ተጽፎአል አለው።

⁸And Jesus answering him said, It is written, Thou shalt do homage to [the] Lord thy God, and him alone shalt thou serve.

⁹ወደ ኢየሩሳሌም ደግሞ ወሰደው፤ በመቅደስም ጫፍ ላይ አቁሞ። ይጠብቁህ ዘንድ መላእክቱን ስለ አንተ ያዝልሃል፥ እግርህንም በድንጋይ ከቶ እንዳትሰናከል በእጃቸው ያነሡሃል ተብሎ ተጽፎአልና የእግዚአብሔር ልጅስ ከሆንህ፥ ከዚህ ወደ ታች ራስህን ወርውር አለው።

⁹And he led him to Jerusalem, and set him on the edge of the temple, and said to him, If thou be Son of God, cast thyself down hence;

¹²ኢየሱስም መልሶ። ጌታን አምላክህን አትፈታተነው ተብሎአል አለው።

¹⁰for it is written, He shall give charge to his angels concerning thee to keep thee;

¹³ዲያቢሎስም ፈተናውን ሁሉ ከጨረሰ በኋላ እስከ ጊዜው ከእርሱ ተለየ።

¹¹and on [their] hands shall they bear thee, lest in any wise thou strike thy foot against a stone.

¹⁴ኢየሱስም በመንፈስ ኃይል ወደ ገሊላ ተመለሰ፤ ስለ እርሱም በዙሪያው ባለችው አገር ሁሉ ዝና ወጣ።

¹²And Jesus answering said to him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt [the] Lord thy God.

¹⁵እርሱም በምኵራባቸው ያስተምር፥ ሁሉም ያመሰግኑት ነበር።

¹³And the devil, having completed every temptation, departed from him for a time.

¹⁶ወዳደገበትም ወደ ናዝሬት መጣ፤ እንደ ልማዱም በሰንበት ቀን ወደ ምኵራብ ገባ፥ ሊያነብም ተነሣ።

¹⁴And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee; and a rumour went out into the whole surrounding country about him;

¹⁷የነቢዩንም የኢሳይያስን መጽሐፍ ሰጡት፥ መጽሐፉንም በተረተረ ጊዜ። የጌታ መንፈስ በእኔ ላይ ነው፥ ለድሆች ወንጌልን እሰብክ ዘንድ ቀብቶኛልና፤ ለታሰሩትም መፈታትን ለዕውሮችም ማየትን እሰብክ ዘንድ፥ የተጠቁትንም ነጻ አወጣ ዘንድ የተወደደችውንም የጌታን ዓመት እሰብክ ዘንድ ልኮኛል ተብሎ የተጻፈበትን ስፍራ አገኘ።

¹⁵and *he* taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.

²⁰መጽሐፉንም ጠቅልሎ ለአገልጋዩ ሰጠውና ተቀመጠ፤ በምኵራብም የነበሩት ሁሉ ትኵር ብለው ይመለከቱት ነበር።

¹⁶And he came to Nazareth, where he was brought up; and he entered, according to his custom, into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up to read.

²¹እርሱም። ዛሬ ይህ መጽሐፍ በጆሮአችሁ ተፈጸመ ይላቸው ጀመር።

¹⁷And [the] book of the prophet Esaias was given to him; and having unrolled the book he found the place where it was written,

²²ሁሉም ይመሰክሩለት ነበር ከአፉም ከሚወጣው ከጸጋው ቃል የተነሣ እየተደነቁ። ይህ የዮሴፍ ልጅ አይደለምን? ይሉ ነበር።

¹⁸[The] Spirit of [the] Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach glad tidings to [the] poor; he has sent me to preach to captives deliverance, and to [the] blind sight, to send forth [the] crushed delivered,

²³እርሱም። ያለ ጥርጥር ይህን ምሳሌ። ባለ መድኃኒት ሆይ፥ ራስህን ፈውስ፤ በቅፍርናሆም እንዳደረግኸው የሰማነውን ሁሉ በዚህ በገዛ አገርህ ደግሞ አድርግ ትሉኛላችሁ አላቸው።

¹⁹to preach [the] acceptable year of [the] Lord.

²⁴እንዲህም አለ። እውነት እላችኋለሁ፥ ነቢይ በገዛ አገሩ ከቶ አይወደድም።

²⁰And having rolled up the book, when he had delivered it up to the attendant, he sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed upon him.

²⁵ነገር ግን እውነት እላችኋለሁ፥ በኤልያስ ዘመን ሦስት ዓመት ከስድስት ወር ሰማይ ተዘግቶ ሳለ በምድር ሁሉ ብርቱ ራብ በነበረ ጊዜ፥ በእስራኤል ብዙ መበለቶች ነበሩ፤

²¹And he began to say to them, To-day this scripture is fulfilled in your ears.

²⁶ኤልያስም በሲዶና አገር ወዳለች ወደ ሰራፕታ ወደ አንዲት መበለት እንጂ ከእነርሱ ወደ አንዲቱ አልተላከም።

²²And all bore witness to him, and wondered at the words of grace which were coming out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this the son of Joseph?

²⁷በነቢዩ በኤልሳዕ ዘመንም በእስራኤል ብዙ ለምጻሞች ነበሩ፥ ከሶርያዊው ከንዕማን በቀር ከእነርሱ አንድ ስንኳ አልነጻም።

²³And he said to them, Ye will surely say to me this parable, Physician, heal thyself; whatsoever we have heard has taken place in Capernaum do here also in thine own country.

²⁸በምኵራብም የነበሩ ሁሉ ይህን ሰምተው ቍጣ ሞላባቸው፥ ተነሥተውም ከከተማ ወደ ውጭ አወጡት፥

²⁴And he said, Verily I say to you, that no prophet is acceptable in his [own] country.

²⁹ይጥሉትም ዘንድ ከተማቸው ተሠርታባት ወደ ነበረች ወደ ተራራው አፋፍ ወሰዱት፤

²⁵But of a truth I say to you, There were many widows in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up for three years and six months, so that a great famine came upon all the land,

³⁰እርሱ ግን በመካከላቸው አልፎ ሄደ።

²⁶and to none of them was Elias sent but to Sarepta of Sidonia, to a woman [that was] a widow.

³¹ወደ ገሊላ ከተማም ወደ ቅፍርናሆም ወረደ። በሰንበትም ያስተምራቸው ነበር፤

²⁷And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, and none of them was cleansed but Naaman the Syrian.

³²ቃሉ በሥልጣን ነበርና በትምህርቱ ተገረሙ።

²⁸And they were all filled with rage in the synagogue, hearing these things;

³³በምኵራብም የርኵስ ጋኔን መንፈስ ያደረበት ሰው ነበረ፥ በታላቅ ድምፅም ጮኾ።

²⁹and rising up they cast him forth out of the city, and led him up to the brow of the mountain upon which their city was built, so that they might throw him down the precipice;

³⁴ተው፥ የናዝሬቱ ኢየሱስ ሆይ፥ ከአንተ ጋር ምን አለን? ልታጠፋን መጣህን? ማን እንደ ሆንህ አውቄሃለሁ፥ አንተ የእግዚአብሔር ቅዱሱ አለ።

³⁰but *he*, passing through the midst of them, went his way,

³⁵ኢየሱስም። ዝም በል ከእርሱም ውጣ ብሎ ገሠጸው። ጋኔኑም በመካከላቸው ጥሎት ሳይጐዳው ከእርሱ ወጣ።

³¹and descended to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbaths.

³⁶ሁሉንም መደነቅ ያዛቸው፥ እርስ በርሳቸውም። ይህ ቃል ምንድር ነው? በሥልጣንና በኃይል ርኵሳን መናፍስትን ያዝዛልና፥ ይወጡማል ብለው ተነጋገሩ።

³²And they were astonished at his doctrine, for his word was with authority.

³⁷ዝናም በዙሪያው ባለች አገር ወደ ስፍራው ሁሉ ስለ እርሱ ወጣ።

³³And there was in the synagogue a man having a spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried with a loud voice,

³⁸በምኵራብም ተነሥቶ ወደ ስምዖን ቤት ገባ። የስምዖንም አማት በብርቱ ንዳድ ታማ ነበር ስለ እርስዋም ለመኑት።

³⁴saying, Eh! what have we to do with thee, Jesus, Nazarene? hast thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy [One] of God.

³⁹በአጠገብዋም ቆሞ ንዳዱን ገሠጸውና ለቀቃት፤ ያንጊዜውንም ተነሥታ አገለገለቻቸው።

³⁵And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out from him. And the demon, having thrown him down into the midst, came out from him without doing him any injury.

⁴⁰ፀሐይም በገባ ጊዜ በልዩ ልዩ ደዌ የተያዙ በሽተኞችን ሁሉ ወደ እርሱ አመጡአቸው፤ እርሱም በእያንዳቸው ላይ እጁን ጭኖ ፈወሳቸው።

³⁶And astonishment came upon all, and they spoke to one another, saying, What word [is] this? for with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out.

⁴¹አጋንንትም ደግሞ። አንተ ክርስቶስ የእግዚአብሔር ልጅ ነህ እያሉ እየጮኹም ከብዙዎች ይወጡ ነበር፤ ገሠጻቸውም ክርስቶስም እንደ ሆነ አውቀውት ነበርና እንዲናገሩ አልፈቀደላቸውም።

³⁷And a rumour went out into every place of the country round concerning him.

⁴²በጸባም ጊዜ ወጥቶ ወደ ምድረ በዳ ሄደ፤ ሕዝቡም ይፈልጉት ነበር፤ ወደ እርሱም መጡ፥ ከእነርሱም ተለይቶ እንዳይሄድ ሊከለክሉት ወደዱ።

³⁸And rising up out of the synagogue, he entered into the house of Simon. But Simon's mother-in-law was suffering under a bad fever; and they asked him for her.

⁴³እርሱ ግን። ስለዚህ ተልኬአለሁና ለሌሎቹ ከተማዎች ደግሞ የእግዚአብሔርን መንግሥት ወንጌል እሰብክ ዘንድ ይገባኛል አላቸው።

³⁹And standing over her, he rebuked the fever, and it left her; and forthwith standing up she served them.

⁴⁴በገሊላም ምኵራቦች ይሰብክ ነበር።

⁴⁰And when the sun went down, all, as many as had persons sick with divers diseases, brought them to him, and having laid his hands on every one of them, he healed them;

⁴¹and demons also went out from many, crying out and saying, *Thou* art the Son of God. And rebuking them, he suffered them not to speak, because they knew him to be the Christ.

⁴²And when it was day he went out, and went into a desert place, and the crowds sought after him, and came up to him, and [would have] kept him back that he should not go from them.

⁴³But he said to them, I must needs announce the glad tidings of the kingdom of God to the other cities also, for for this I have been sent forth.

⁴⁴And he was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.
