¹በታንኳም ገብቶ ተሻገረና ወደ ገዛ ከተማው መጣ።

¹And going on board the ship, he passed over and came to his own city.

²እነሆም፥ በአልጋ የተኛ ሽባ ወደ እርሱ አመጡ። ኢየሱስም እምነታቸውን አይቶ ሽባውን። አንተ ልጅ፥ አይዞህ፥ ኃጢአትህ ተሰረየችልህ አለው።

²And behold, they brought to him a paralytic, laid upon a bed; and Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, Be of good courage, child; thy sins are forgiven.

³እነሆም፥ ከጻፎቹ አንዳንዱ በልባቸው። ይህስ ይሳደባል አሉ።

³And behold, certain of the scribes said to themselves, This [man] blasphemes.

⁴ኢየሱስም አሳባቸውን አውቆ እንዲህ አለ። ስለ ምን በልባችሁ ክፉ ታስባላችሁ?

⁴And Jesus, seeing their thoughts, said, Why do *ye* think evil things in your hearts?

⁵ኃጢአትህ ተሰረየችልህ ከማለት ወይስ። ተነሣና ሂድ ከማለት ማናቸው ይቀላል?

⁵For which is easier: to say, Thy sins are forgiven; or to say, Rise up and walk?

⁶ነገር ግን በምድር ላይ ኃጢአትን ያስተሰርይ ዘንድ ለሰው ልጅ ሥልጣን እንዳለው እንድታውቁ፥ በዚያን ጊዜ ሽባውን። ተነሣ፤ አልጋህን ተሸከምና ወደ ቤትህ ሂድ አለው።

⁶But that ye may know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins, (then he says to the paralytic,) Rise up, take up thy bed and go to thy house.

⁷ተነሥቶም ወደ ቤቱ ሄደ።

⁷And he rose up and went to his house.

⁸ሕዝቡም አይተው ተደነቁ፥ ለሰውም እንዲህ ያለ ሥልጣን የሰጠ እግዚአብሔርን አከበሩ።

⁸But the crowds seeing [it], were in fear, and glorified God who gave such power to men.

⁹ኢየሱስም ከዚያ አልፎ በመቅረጫው ተቀምጦ የነበረ ማቴዎስ የሚባል አንድ ሰው አየና። ተከተለኝ አለው። ተነሥቶም ተከተለው።

⁹And Jesus, passing on thence, saw a man sitting at the tax-office, called Matthew, and says to him, Follow me. And he rose up and followed him.

¹⁰በቤቱም በማዕድ ተቀምጦ ሳለ፥ እነሆ፥ ብዙ ቀራጮችና ኃጢአተኞች መጥተው ከኢየሱስና ከደቀ መዛሙርቱ ጋር አብረው ተቀመጡ።

¹⁰And it came to pass, as he lay at table in the house, that behold, many tax-gatherers and sinners came and lay at table with Jesus and his disciples.

¹¹ፈሪሳውያንም አይተው ደቀ መዛሙርቱን። መምህራችሁ ከቀራጮችና ከኃጢአተኞች ጋር አብሮ ስለ ምን ይበላል? አሉአቸው።

¹¹And the Pharisees seeing [it], said to his disciples, Why does your teacher eat with tax-gatherers and sinners?

¹²ኢየሱስም ሰምቶ። ሕመምተኞች እንጂ ባለ ጤናዎች ባለ መድኃኒት አያስፈልጋቸውም፤

¹²But [Jesus] hearing it, said, They that are strong have not need of a physician, but those that are ill.

¹³ነገር ግን ሄዳችሁ። ምሕረትን እወዳለሁ መሥዋዕትንም አይደለም ያለው ምን እንደ ሆነ ተማሩ፤ ኃጢአተኞችን ወደ ንስሐ እንጂ ጻድቃንን ልጠራ አልመጣሁምና አላቸው።

¹³But go and learn what [that] is -- I will have mercy and not sacrifice; for I have not come to call righteous [men] but sinners.

¹⁴በዚያን ጊዜ የዮሐንስ ደቀ መዛሙርት ወደ እርሱ ቀርበው። እኛና ፈሪሳውያን፥ ብዙ ጊዜ የምንጦመው፥ ደቀ መዛሙርትህ ግን የማይጦሙት ስለ ምንድር ነው? አሉት።

¹⁴Then come to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees often fast, but thy disciples fast not?

¹⁵ኢየሱስም እንዲህ አላቸው። ሚዜዎች ሙሽራው ከእነርሱ ጋር ሳለ ሊያዝኑ ይችላሉን? ነገር ግን ሙሽራው ከእነርሱ የሚወሰድበት ወራት ይመጣል፥ በዚያ ጊዜም ይጦማሉ።

¹⁵And Jesus said to them, Can the sons of the bridechamber mourn so long as the bridegroom is with them? But days will come when the bridegroom will have been taken away from them, and then they will fast.

¹⁶በአረጀ ልብስ አዲስ እራፊ የሚያኖር የለም፤ መጣፊያው ልብሱን ይቦጭቀዋልና፥ መቀደዱም የባሰ ይሆናል።

¹⁶But no one puts a patch of new cloth on an old garment, for its filling up takes from the garment and a worse rent takes place.

¹⁷በአረጀ አቁማዳ አዲስ የወይን ጠጅ የሚያኖር የለም፤ ቢደረግ ግን፥ አቁማዳው ይፈነዳል፥ የወይን ጠጁም ይፈሳል አቁማዳውም ይጠፋል፤ ነገር ግን አዲሱን የወይን ጠጅ በአዲስ አቁማዳ ያኖረዋል፥ ሁለቱም ይጠባበቃሉ።

¹⁷Nor do men put new wine into old skins, otherwise the skins burst and the wine is poured out, and the skins will be destroyed; but they put new wine into new skins, and both are preserved together.

¹⁸ይህንም ሲነግራቸው፥ አንድ መኰንን መጥቶ። ልጄ አሁን ሞተች፤ ነገር ግን መጥተህ እጅህን ጫንባት፥ በሕይወትም ትኖራለች እያለ ሰገደለት።

¹⁸As he spoke these things to them, behold, a ruler coming in did homage to him, saying, My daughter has by this died; but come and lay thy hand upon her and she shall live.

¹⁹ኢየሱስም ተነሥቶ ከደቀ መዛሙርቱ ጋር ተከተለው።

¹⁹And Jesus rose up and followed him, and [so did] his disciples.

²⁰እነሆም፥ ከአሥራ ሁለት ዓመት ጀምሮ ደም የሚፈስሳት ሴት በኋላው ቀርባ የልብሱን ጫፍ ዳሰሰች፤

²⁰And behold, a woman, who had had a bloody flux [for] twelve years, came behind and touched the hem of his garment;

²¹በልብዋ። ልብሱን ብቻ የዳሰስሁ እንደ ሆነ፥ እድናለሁ ትል ነበረችና።

²¹for she said within herself, If I should only touch his garment I shall be healed.

²²ኢየሱስም ዘወር ብሎ አያትና። ልጄ ሆይ፥ አይዞሽ፤ እምነትሽ አድኖሻል አላት። ሴቲቱም ከዚያች ሰዓት ጀምራ ዳነች።

²²But Jesus turning and seeing her, said, Be of good courage, daughter; thy faith has healed thee. And the woman was healed from that hour.

²³ኢየሱስም ወደ መኰንኑ ቤት በደረሰ ጊዜ፥ እምቢልተኞችንና የሚንጫጫውን ሕዝብ አይቶ።

²³And when Jesus was come to the house of the ruler, and saw the flute-players and the crowd making a tumult,

²⁴ብላቴናይቱ ተኝታለች እንጂ አልሞተችምና ፈቀቅ በሉ አላቸው። በጣምም ሳቁበት።

²⁴he said, Withdraw, for the damsel is not dead, but sleeps. And they derided him.

²⁵ሕዝቡን ግን ከአስወጡ በኋላ ገብቶ እጅዋን ያዛት፥ ብላቴናይቱም ተነሣች።

²⁵But when the crowd had been put out, he went in and took her hand; and the damsel rose up.

²⁶ያም ዝና ወደዚያ አገር ሁሉ ወጣ።

²⁶And the fame of it went out into all that land.

²⁷ኢየሱስም ከዚያ ሲያልፍ ሁለት ዕውሮች። የዳዊት ልጅ ሆይ፥ ማረን ብለው እየጮሁ ተከተሉት።

²⁷And as Jesus passed on thence, two blind [men] followed him, crying and saying, Have mercy on us, Son of David.

²⁸ወደ ቤትም በገባ ጊዜ ዕውሮቹ ወደ እርሱ ቀረቡ፥ ኢየሱስም። ይህን ማድረግ እንድችል ታምናላችሁን? አላቸው። አዎን፥ ጌታ ሆይ አሉት።

²⁸And when he was come to the house, the blind [men] came to him. And Jesus says to them, Do ye believe that I am able to do this? They say to him, Yea, Lord.

²⁹በዚያን ጊዜ። እንደ እምነታችሁ ይሁንላችሁ ብሎ ዓይኖቻቸውን ዳሰሰ።

²⁹Then he touched their eyes, saying, According to your faith, be it unto you.

³⁰ዓይኖቻቸውም ተከፈቱ።

³⁰And their eyes were opened; and Jesus charged them sharply, saying, See, let no man know it.

³¹ኢየሱስም። ማንም እንዳያውቅ ተጠንቀቁ ብሎ በብርቱ አዘዛቸው። እነርሱ ግን ወጥተው በዚያ አገር ሁሉ ስለ እርሱ አወሩ።

³¹But they, when they were gone out, spread his name abroad in all that land.

³²እነርሱም ሲወጡ እነሆ፥ ጋኔን ያደረበትን ዲዳ ሰው ወደ እርሱ አመጡ።

³²But as these were going out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed by a demon.

³³ጋኔኑንም ካወጣው በኋላ ዲዳው ተናገረ። ሕዝቡም። እንዲህ ያለ በእስራኤል ዘንድ ከቶ አልታየም እያሉ ተደነቁ።

³³And the demon having been cast out, the dumb spake. And the crowds were astonished, saying, It has never been seen thus in Israel.

³⁴ፈሪሳውያን ግን። በአጋንንት አለቃ አጋንንትን ያወጣል አሉ።

³⁴But the Pharisees said, He casts out the demons through the prince of the demons.

³⁵ኢየሱስም በምኩራቦቻቸው እያስተማረ፥ የመንግሥትንም ወንጌል እየሰበከ፥ በሕዝብም ያለውን ደዌና ሕማም ሁሉ እየፈወሰ፥ በከተማዎችና በመንደሮች ሁሉ ይዞር ነበር።

³⁵And Jesus went round all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the glad tidings of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every bodily weakness.

³⁶ብዙ ሕዝብም ባየ ጊዜ፥ እረኛ እንደ ሌላቸው በጎች ተጨንቀው ተጥለውም ነበርና አዘነላቸው።

³⁶But when he saw the crowds he was moved with compassion for them, because they were harassed, and cast away as sheep not having a shepherd.

³⁷በዚያን ጊዜ ደቀ መዛሙርቱን። መከሩስ ብዙ ነው፥ ሠራተኞች ግን ጥቂቶች ናቸው፤

³⁷Then saith he to his disciples, The harvest [is] great and the workmen [are] few;

³⁸እንግዲህ የመከሩን ጌታ ወደ መከሩ ሠራተኞች እንዲልክ ለምኑት አላቸው።

³⁸supplicate therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth workmen unto his harvest.
