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

¹And it came to pass on [the] second-first sabbath, that he went through cornfields, and his disciples were plucking the ears and eating [them], rubbing [them] in their hands.

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

²But some of the Pharisees said to them, Why do ye what is not lawful to do on the sabbath?

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 said to them, Have ye not read so much as this, what David did when he hungered, he and those who were with him,

⁵የሰው ልጅ የሰንበት ጌታ ነው አላቸውም።

⁴how he entered into the house of God and took the shewbread and ate, and gave to those also who were with him, which it is not lawful that [any] eat, unless the priests alone?

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

⁵And he said to them, The Son of man is Lord of the sabbath also.

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

⁶And it came to pass on another sabbath also 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 were watching if he would heal on the sabbath, that they might find something of which to accuse him.

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

⁸But *he* knew their thoughts, and said to the man who had the withered hand, Get up, and stand in the midst. And having risen up he stood [there].

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

⁹Jesus therefore said to them, I will ask you if it is lawful on the sabbath to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy [it]?

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

¹⁰And having looked around on them all, he said to him, Stretch out thy hand. And he did [so] and his hand was restored as the other.

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

¹¹But *they* were filled with madness, and they spoke together among themselves what they should do to Jesus.

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

¹²And it came to pass in those days that he went out into the mountain to pray, and he spent the 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 having chosen out twelve from them, whom also he named apostles:

¹⁵ማቴዎስም ቶማስም፥ የእልፍዮስ ልጅ ያዕቆብም ቀናተኛ የሚባለው ስምዖንም፥

¹⁴Simon, to whom also he gave the name of Peter, and Andrew his brother, [and] James and John, [and] Philip and Bartholomew,

¹⁶የያዕቆብ ይሁዳም፥ አሳልፎ የሰጠውም የአስቆሮቱ ይሁዳ ናቸው።

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

¹⁶[and] Judas [brother] of James, and Judas Iscariote, who was also [his] betrayer;

¹⁸ከርኵሳንም መናፍስት ይሠቃዩ የነበሩት ተፈወሱ፤

¹⁷and having descended with them, he stood on a level place, and a crowd of his disciples, and a great multitude 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 those that were beset by unclean spirits were healed.

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

¹⁹And all the crowd sought to touch him, for power went out from him and healed all.

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

²⁰And *he*, lifting up his eyes upon his disciples, 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 ye that hunger now, for ye shall be filled. Blessed 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 them], and shall reproach [you], and cast out your name as wicked, 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 the heaven, for after this manner did their fathers act toward the prophets.

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

²⁴But woe to you rich, for ye have received your consolation.

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

²⁵Woe to you that are filled, for ye shall hunger. Woe to you who laugh now, for ye shall mourn and weep.

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

²⁶Woe, when all men speak well of you, for after this manner did their fathers to the false prophets.

²⁸የሚረግሙአችሁንም መርቁ፥ ስለሚበድሉአችሁም ጸልዩ።

²⁷But to you that hear I say, Love your enemies; do good to those that hate you;

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

²⁸bless those that curse you; pray for those who use you despitefully.

³⁰ለሚለምንህ ሁሉ ስጥ፥ ገንዘብህንም የሚወስድ እንዲመልስ አትጠይቀው።

²⁹To him that smites thee on the cheek, offer also the other; and from him that would take away thy garment, forbid not thy body-coat also.

³¹ሰዎችም ሊያደርጉላችሁ እንደምትወዱ እናንተ ደግሞ እንዲሁ አድርጉላቸው።

³⁰To every one that asks of thee, give; and from him that takes away what is thine, ask it not back.

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

³¹And as ye wish that men should do to you, do *ye* also to them in like manner.

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

³²And if ye love those that love you, what thank is it to you? 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 those that do good to you, what thank is it to you? 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 those from whom ye hope to receive, what thank is it to you? [for] even sinners lend to sinners that they may receive the like.

³⁶አባታችሁ ርኅሩኅ እንደ ሆነ ርኅሩኆች ሁኑ።

³⁵But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return, and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be sons of [the] Highest; for *he* is good to the unthankful and wicked.

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

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

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

³⁷And judge not, and ye shall not be judged; condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned. Remit, and it shall be remitted to you.

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

³⁸Give, and it shall be given to you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall be given into your bosom: for with the same measure with which ye mete it shall be measured to you again.

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

³⁹And he spoke also a parable to them: Can a blind [man] lead a blind [man]? shall not both fall into [the] ditch?

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 that 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።

⁴¹But why lookest thou on the mote which is in the eye of thy brother, but perceivest not the beam which 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, allow [me], I will cast out the mote that is in thine eye, thyself not seeing the beam that is in thine eye? Hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine eye, and then thou shalt see clear to cast out the mote which is in the eye of thy brother.

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

⁴³For there is no good tree which produces corrupt fruit, nor a corrupt tree which produces good fruit;

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

⁴⁴for every tree is known by its own fruit, for figs are not gathered from thorns, nor grapes vintaged from a bramble.

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

⁴⁵The good man, out of the good treasure of his heart, brings forth good; and the wicked [man] out of the wicked, brings forth what is wicked: for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.

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

⁴⁶And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things that 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 comes to me, and hears my words and does them, I will shew 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 dug and went deep, and laid a foundation on the rock; but a great rain coming, the stream broke upon that house, and could not shake it, for it had been founded on the rock.

⁴⁹And he that has heard and not done, is like a man who has built a house on the ground without [a] foundation, on which the stream broke, and immediately it fell, and the breach of that house was great.
