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

¹When they drew near to Jerusalem, to Bethsphage TR & NU read “Bethphage” instead of “Bethsphage” and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,

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

²and said to them, “Go your way into the village that is opposite you. Immediately as you enter into it, you will find a young donkey tied, on which no one has sat. Untie him, and bring him.

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

³ If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord needs him;’ and immediately he will send him back here.”

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

⁴They went away, and found a young donkey tied at the door outside in the open street, and they untied him.

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

⁵Some of those who stood there asked them, “What are you doing, untying the young donkey?”

⁶እነርሱም ኢየሱስ እንዳዘዘ አሉአቸው፤ ተዉአቸውም።

⁶They said to them just as Jesus had said, and they let them go.

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

⁷They brought the young donkey to Jesus, and threw their garments on it, and Jesus sat on it.

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

⁸Many spread their garments on the way, and others were cutting down branches from the trees, and spreading them on the road.

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

⁹Those who went in front, and those who followed, cried out, “Hosanna “Hosanna” means “save us” or “help us, we pray.” ! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Psalm 118:25-26

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

¹⁰Blessed is the kingdom of our father David that is coming in the name of the Lord! 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።

¹¹Jesus entered into the temple in Jerusalem. When he had looked around at everything, it being now evening, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.

¹²በማግሥቱም ከቢታንያ ሲወጡ ተራበ።

¹²The next day, when they had come out from Bethany, he was hungry.

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

¹³Seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came to see if perhaps he might find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.

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

¹⁴Jesus told it, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again!” and his disciples heard it.

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

¹⁵They came to Jerusalem, and Jesus entered into the temple, and began to throw out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money changers, and the seats of those who sold the doves.

¹⁶ዕቃም ተሸክሞ ማንም በመቅደስ ሊያልፍ አልፈቀደም።

¹⁶He would not allow anyone to carry a container through the temple.

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

¹⁷He taught, saying to them, “Isn’t it written, ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all the nations?’ Isaiah 56:7 But you have made it a den of robbers!” Jeremiah 7:11

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

¹⁸The chief priests and the scribes heard it, and sought how they might destroy him. For they feared him, because all the multitude was astonished at his teaching.

¹⁹ማታ ማታም ከከተማ ወደ ውጭ ይወጣ ነበር።

¹⁹When evening came, he went out of the city.

²⁰ማለዳም ሲያልፉ በለሲቱን ከሥርዋ ደርቃ አዩአት።

²⁰As they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away from the roots.

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

²¹Peter, remembering, said to him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree which you cursed has withered away.”

²²ኢየሱስም መልሶ እንዲህ አላቸው። በእግዚአብሔር እመኑ።

²²Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God.

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

²³ For most certainly I tell you, whoever may tell this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ and doesn’t doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is happening; he shall have whatever he says.

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

²⁴ Therefore I tell you, all things whatever you pray and ask for, believe that you have received them, and you shall have them.

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

²⁵ Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone; so that your Father, who is in heaven, may also forgive you your transgressions.

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

²⁶ But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your transgressions.”

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

²⁷They came again to Jerusalem, and as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders came to him,

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

²⁸and they began saying to him, “By what authority do you do these things? Or who gave you this authority to do these things?”

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

²⁹Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one question. Answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.

³⁰የዮሐንስ ጥምቀት ከሰማይ ነበረችን ወይስ ከሰው? መልሱልኝ አላቸው።

³⁰ The baptism of John—was it from heaven, or from men? Answer me.”

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

³¹They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we should say, ‘From heaven;’ he will say, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’

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

³²If we should say, ‘From men’”—they feared the people, for all held John to really be a prophet.

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

³³They answered Jesus, “We don’t know.” Jesus said to them, “Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
