¹ወደ ኢየሩሳሌምም ከደብረ ዘይት አጠገብ ወዳሉቱ ወደ ቤተ ፋጌና ወደ ቢታንያ በቀረቡ ጊዜ፥ ከደቀ መዛሙርቱ ሁለቱን ልኮ።

¹And when they draw near to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sends two of his disciples,

²በፊታችሁ ወዳለችው መንደር ሂዱ፥ ወዲያውም ወደ እርስዋ ገብታችሁ ከሰው ማንም ገና ያልተቀመጠበት ውርንጫ ታስሮ ታገኛላችሁ፤ ፈትታችሁ አምጡልኝ።

²and says to them, Go into the village which is over against you, and immediately on entering into it ye will find a colt tied, upon which no [child] of man has ever sat: loose it and lead it [here].

³ማንም። ስለ ምን እንዲህ ታደርጋላችሁ? ቢላችሁ። ለጌታ ያስፈልገዋል በሉት፥ ወዲያውም ደግሞ ወደዚህ ይሰደዋል አላቸው።

³And if any one say to you, Why do ye this? say, The Lord has need of it; and straightway he sends it hither.

⁴ሄዱም ውርንጫውንም በመንገድ መተላለፊያ በደጅ ውጭ ታስሮ አገኙት፥ ፈቱትም።

⁴And they departed, and found a colt bound to the door without at the crossway, and they loose him.

⁵በዚያም ከቆሙት አንዳንዶቹ። ውርንጫውን የምትፈቱት ምን ልታደርጉት ነው አሉአቸው።

⁵And some of those who stood there said to them, What are ye doing, loosing the colt?

⁶እነርሱም ኢየሱስ እንዳዘዘ አሉአቸው፤ ተዉአቸውም።

⁶And they said to them as Jesus had commanded. And they let them [do it].

⁷ውርንጫውንም ወደ ኢየሱስ አመጡት፥ ልብሳቸውንም በላዩ ጣሉ፥ ተቀመጠበትም።

⁷And they led the colt to Jesus, and cast their clothes upon it, and he sat on it;

⁸ብዙ ሰዎችም ልብሳቸውን በመንገድ ላይ አነጠፉ፥ ሌሎችም ከዛፍ ቅጠሎችን እየቈረጡ ያነጥፉ ነበር።

⁸and many strewed their clothes on the way, and others cut down branches from the trees [and went on strewing them on the way].

⁹የሚቀድሙትም የሚከተሉትም። ሆሣዕና፤ በጌታ ስም የሚመጣ የተባረከ ነው፤

⁹And those going on before and those following cried out, Hosanna! blessed [be] he that comes in [the] Lord's name.

¹⁰በጌታ ስም የምትመጣ የአባታችን የዳዊት መንግሥት የተባረከች ናት፤ ሆሣዕና በአርያም እያሉ ይጮኹ ነበር።

¹⁰Blessed [be] the coming kingdom of our father David. Hosanna in the highest!

¹¹ኢየሱስም ወደ ኢየሩሳሌም ወደ መቅደስ ገባ፤ ዘወር ብሎም ሁሉን ከተመለከተ በኋላ፥ ጊዜው መሽቶ ስለ ነበረ ከአሥራ ሁለቱ ጋር ወደ ቢታንያ ወጣ።

¹¹And he entered into Jerusalem and into the temple; and having looked round on all things, the hour being already late, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.

¹²በማግሥቱም ከቢታንያ ሲወጡ ተራበ።

¹²And on the morrow, when they were gone out of Bethany, he hungered.

¹³ቅጠልም ያላት በለስ ከሩቅ አይቶ ምናልባት አንዳች ይገኝባት እንደ ሆነ ብሎ መጣ፥ ነገር ግን የበለስ ወራት አልነበረምና መጥቶ ከቅጠል በቀር ምንም አላገኘባትም።

¹³And seeing from afar off a fig-tree which had leaves, he came, if perhaps he might find something on it. And having come up to it he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the time of figs.

¹⁴መልሶም። ከአሁን ጀምሮ ለዘላለም ማንም ከአንቺ ፍሬ አይብላ አላት። ደቀ መዛሙርቱም ሰሙ።

¹⁴And answering he said to it, Let no one eat fruit of thee any more for ever. And his disciples heard [it].

¹⁵ወደ ኢየሩሳሌምም መጡ። ወደ መቅደስም ገብቶ በመቅደስ የሚሸጡትንና የሚገዙትን ያወጣ ጀመር፥ የገንዘብ ለዋጮችንም ገበታዎች የርግብ ሻጭዎችንም ወንበሮች ገለበጠ፤

¹⁵And they come to Jerusalem, and entering into the temple, he began to cast out those who sold and who bought in the temple, and he overthrew the tables of the moneychangers and the seats of the dove-sellers,

¹⁶ዕቃም ተሸክሞ ማንም በመቅደስ ሊያልፍ አልፈቀደም።

¹⁶and suffered not that any one should carry any package through the temple.

¹⁷አስተማራቸውም። ቤቴ ለአሕዛብ ሁሉ የጸሎት ቤት ትባላለች ተብሎ የተጻፈ አይደለምን? እናንተ ግን የወንበዶች ዋሻ አደረጋችኋት አላቸው።

¹⁷And he taught saying to them, Is it not written, My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations? but *ye* have made it a den of robbers.

¹⁸የካህናት አለቆችም ጻፎችም ሰምተው፥ ሕዝቡ ሁሉ በትምህርቱ ይገረሙ ስለ ነበር ይፈሩት ነበርና እንዴት አድርገው እንዲያጠፉት ፈለጉ።

¹⁸And the chief priests and the scribes heard [it], and they sought how they might destroy him; for they feared him, because all the crowd were astonished at his doctrine.

¹⁹ማታ ማታም ከከተማ ወደ ውጭ ይወጣ ነበር።

¹⁹And when it was evening he went forth without the city.

²⁰ማለዳም ሲያልፉ በለሲቱን ከሥርዋ ደርቃ አዩአት።

²⁰And passing by early in the morning they saw the fig-tree dried up from the roots.

²¹ጴጥሮስም ትዝ ብሎት። መምህር ሆይ፥ እነሆ፥ የረገምሃት በለስ ደርቃለች አለው።

²¹And Peter, remembering [what Jesus had said], says to him, Rabbi, see, the fig-tree which thou cursedst is dried up.

²²ኢየሱስም መልሶ እንዲህ አላቸው። በእግዚአብሔር እመኑ።

²²And Jesus answering says to them, Have faith in God.

²³እውነት እላችኋለሁ፥ ማንም ያለው ነገር እንዲደረግለት ቢያምን በልቡ ሳይጠራጠር፥ ይህን ተራራ። ተነቅለህ ወደ ባሕር ተወርወር ቢል ይሆንለታል።

²³Verily I say to you, that whosoever shall say to this mountain, Be thou taken away and cast into the sea, and shall not doubt in his heart, but believe that what he says takes place, whatever he shall say shall come to pass for him.

²⁴ስለዚህ እላችኋለሁ፥ የጸለያችሁትን የለመናችሁትንም ሁሉ እንዳገኛችሁት እመኑ፥ ይሆንላችሁማል።

²⁴For this reason I say to you, All things whatsoever ye pray for and ask, believe that ye receive it, and it shall come to pass for you.

²⁵ለጸሎትም በቆማችሁ ጊዜ፥ በሰማያት ያለው አባታችሁ ደግሞ ኃጢአታችሁን ይቅር እንዲላችሁ፥ በማንም ላይ አንዳች ቢኖርባችሁ ይቅር በሉት።

²⁵And when ye stand praying, forgive if ye have anything against any one, that your Father also who is in the heavens may forgive you your offences.

²⁶እናንተ ግን ይቅር ባትሉ በሰማያት ያለው አባታችሁም ኃጢአታችሁን ይቅር አይላችሁም።

²⁶But if *ye* do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in the heavens forgive your offences.

²⁷ደግሞም ወደ ኢየሩሳሌም መጡ። እርሱም በመቅደስ ሲመላለስ፥ የካህናት አለቆችና ጻፎች ሽማግሌዎችም ወደ እርሱ መጥተው።

²⁷And they come again to Jerusalem. And as he walked about in the temple, the chief priests and the scribes and the elders come to him,

²⁸እነዚህን በምን ሥልጣን ታደርጋለህ? ወይስ እነዚህን ለማድረግ ይህን ሥልጣን ማን ሰጠህ? አሉት።

²⁸and they say to him, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority, that thou shouldest do these things?

²⁹ኢየሱስም። እኔም አንዲት ነገር እጠይቃችኋለሁ፥ እናንተም መልሱልኝ፥ እኔም በምን ሥልጣን እነዚህን እንዳደርግ እነግራችኋለሁ።

²⁹And Jesus answering said to them, *I* also will ask you one thing, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things:

³⁰የዮሐንስ ጥምቀት ከሰማይ ነበረችን ወይስ ከሰው? መልሱልኝ አላቸው።

³⁰The baptism of John, was it of heaven, or of men? answer me.

³¹እርስ በርሳቸውም ሲነጋገሩ። ከሰማይ ነው ብንል። እንግዲያውስ ስለ ምን አላመናችሁበትም? ይለናል፤

³¹And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we should say, Of heaven, he will say, Why [then] have ye not believed him?

³²ነገር ግን። ከሰው ነው እንበልን? አሉ፤ ሁሉ ዮሐንስን በእውነት እንደ ነቢይ ያዩት ነበርና ሕዝቡን ፈሩ።

³²but should we say, Of men -- they feared the people; for all held of John that he was truly a prophet.

³³ለኢየሱስም መልሰው። አናውቅም አሉት ኢየሱስም። እኔም በምን ሥልጣን እነዚህን እንዳደርግ አልነግራችሁም አላቸው።

³³And they answering say to Jesus, We do not know. And Jesus [answering] says to them, Neither do *I* tell you by what authority I do these things.
