¹ኢየሱስም እነዚህን ቃሎች ሁሉ በፈጸመ ጊዜ፥

¹It happened, when Jesus had finished all these words, that he said to his disciples,

²ለደቀ መዛሙርቱ። ከሁለት ቀን በኋላ ፋሲካ እንዲሆን ታውቃላችሁ፥ የሰው ልጅም ሊሰቀል አልፎ ይሰጣል አለ።

² “You know that after two days the Passover is coming, and the Son of Man will be delivered up to be crucified.”

³በዚያን ጊዜ የካህናት አለቆች የሕዝብም ሽማግሎች ቀያፋ በሚባለው በሊቀ ካህናቱ ግቢ ተሰበሰቡ፥

³Then the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders of the people were gathered together in the court of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas.

⁴ኢየሱስንም በተንኰል ሊያስይዙት ሊገድሉትም ተማከሩ፤

⁴They took counsel together that they might take Jesus by deceit, and kill him.

⁵ነገር ግን። በሕዝቡ ዘንድ ሁከት እንዳይነሣ በበዓል አይሁን አሉ።

⁵But they said, “Not during the feast, lest a riot occur among the people.”

⁶ኢየሱስም በቢታንያ በለምጻሙ በስምዖን ቤት ሳለ፥

⁶Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,

⁷አንዲት ሴት ዋጋው እጅግ የበዛ ሽቱ የሞላው የአልባስጥሮስ ብልቃጥ ይዛ ወደ እርሱ ቀረበች በማዕድም ተቀምጦ ሳለ በራሱ ላይ አፈሰሰችው።

⁷a woman came to him having an alabaster jar of very expensive ointment, and she poured it on his head as he sat at the table.

⁸ደቀ መዛሙርቱም ይህን አይተው ተቈጡና። ይህ ጥፋት ለምንድር ነው?

⁸But when his disciples saw this, they were indignant, saying, “Why this waste?

⁹ይህ በብዙ ዋጋ ተሽጦ ለድሆች ሊሰጥ ይቻል ነበርና አሉ።

⁹For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.”

¹⁰ኢየሱስም ይህን አውቆ እንዲህ አላቸው። መልካም ሥራ ሠርታልኛለችና ሴቲቱንስ ስለ ምን ታደክሙአታላችሁ?

¹⁰However, knowing this, Jesus said to them, “Why do you trouble the woman? Because she has done a good work for me.

¹¹ድሆች ሁልጊዜ ከእናንተ ጋር ይኖራሉና፥ እኔ ግን ሁልጊዜ ከእናንተ ጋር አልኖርም፤

¹¹ For you always have the poor with you; but you don’t always have me.

¹²እርስዋ ይህን ሽቱ በሰውነቴ ላይ አፍስሳ ለመቃብሬ አደረገች።

¹² For in pouring this ointment on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial.

¹³እውነት እላችኋለሁ፥ ይህ ወንጌል በዓለም ሁሉ በማናቸውም ስፍራ በሚሰበክበት እርስዋ ያደረገችው ደግሞ ለእርስዋ መታሰቢያ እንዲሆን ይነገራል።

¹³ Most certainly I tell you, wherever this Good News is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of as a memorial of her.”

¹⁴በዚያን ጊዜ የአስቆሮቱ ይሁዳ የሚባለው ከአሥራ ሁለቱ አንዱ ወደ ካህናት አለቆች ሄዶ።

¹⁴Then one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests,

¹⁵ምን ልትሰጡኝ ትወዳላችሁ እኔም አሳልፌ እሰጣችኋለሁ? እነርሱም ሠላሳ ብር መዘኑለት።

¹⁵and said, “What are you willing to give me, that I should deliver him to you?” They weighed out for him thirty pieces of silver.

¹⁶ከዚያችም ሰዓት ጀምሮ አሳልፎ ሊሰጠው ምቹ ጊዜ ይሻ ነበር።

¹⁶From that time he sought opportunity to betray him.

¹⁷በቂጣው በዓል በመጀመሪያ ቀን ደቀ መዛሙርቱ ወደ ኢየሱስ ቀርበው። ፋሲካን ትበላ ዘንድ ወዴት ልናሰናዳልህ ትወዳለህ አሉት።

¹⁷Now on the first day of unleavened bread, the disciples came to Jesus, saying to him, “Where do you want us to prepare for you to eat the Passover?”

¹⁸እርሱም። ወደ ከተማ ከእገሌ ዘንድ ሄዳችሁ። መምህር። ጊዜዬ ቀርቦአል፤ ከደቀ መዛሙርቴ ጋር ከአንተ ዘንድ ፋሲካን አደርጋለሁ ይላል በሉት አለ።

¹⁸He said, “Go into the city to a certain person, and tell him, ‘The Teacher says, “My time is at hand. I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples.”’”

¹⁹ደቀ መዛሙርቱም ኢየሱስ እንዳዘዛቸው አደረጉ ፋሲካንም አሰናዱ።

¹⁹The disciples did as Jesus commanded them, and they prepared the Passover.

²⁰በመሸም ጊዜ ከአሥራ ሁለቱ ደቀ መዛሙርቱ ጋር በማዕድ ተቀመጠ።

²⁰Now when evening had come, he was reclining at the table with the twelve disciples.

²¹ሲበሉም። እውነት እላችኋለሁ፥ ከእናንተ አንዱ እኔን አሳልፎ ይሰጣል አለ።

²¹As they were eating, he said, “Most certainly I tell you that one of you will betray me.”

²²እጅግም አዝነው እያንዳንዱ። ጌታ ሆይ፥ እኔ እሆንን? ይሉት ጀመር።

²²They were exceedingly sorrowful, and each began to ask him, “It isn’t me, is it, Lord?”

²³እርሱም መልሶ። ከእኔ ጋር እጁን በወጭቱ ያጠለቀ፥ እኔን አሳልፎ የሚሰጥ እርሱ ነው።

²³He answered, “He who dipped his hand with me in the dish, the same will betray me.

²⁴የሰው ልጅስ ስለ እርሱ እንደ ተጻፈ ይሄዳል፥ ነገር ግን የሰው ልጅ አልፎ ለሚሰጥበት ለዚያ ሰው ወዮለት፤ ያ ሰው ባልተወለደ ይሻለው ነበር አለ።

²⁴ The Son of Man goes, even as it is written of him, but woe to that man through whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for that man if he had not been born.”

²⁵አሳልፎ የሚሰጠው ይሁዳም መልሶ። መምህር ሆይ፥ እኔ እሆንን? አለ፤ አንተ አልህ አለው።

²⁵Judas, who betrayed him, answered, “It isn’t me, is it, Rabbi?” He said to him, “You said it.”

²⁶ሲበሉም ኢየሱስ እንጀራን አንሥቶ ባረከ ቈርሶም ለደቀ መዛሙርቱ ሰጠና። እንካችሁ፥ ብሉ ይህ ሥጋዬ ነው አለ።

²⁶As they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks for TR reads “blessed” instead of “gave thanks for” it, and broke it. He gave to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.”

²⁷ጽዋንም አንሥቶ አመስግኖም ሰጣቸው እንዲህም አለ። ሁላችሁ ከእርሱ ጠጡ፤

²⁷He took the cup, gave thanks, and gave to them, saying, “All of you drink it,

²⁸ስለ ብዙዎች ለኃጢአት ይቅርታ የሚፈስ የአዲስ ኪዳን ደሜ ይህ ነው።

²⁸ for this is my blood of the new covenant, which is poured out for many for the remission of sins.

²⁹ነገር ግን እላችኋለሁ፥ በአባቴ መንግሥት ከእናንተ ጋር ከዚህ ከወይን ፍሬ አዲሱን እስከምጠጣበት እስከዚያ ቀን ድረስ ከዛሬ ጀምሬ አልጠጣውም።

²⁹ But I tell you that I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on, until that day when I drink it anew with you in my Father’s Kingdom.”

³⁰መዝሙርም ከዘመሩ በኋላ ወደ ደብረ ዘይት ወጡ።

³⁰When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

³¹በዚያን ጊዜ ኢየሱስ። በዚች ሌሊት ሁላችሁ በእኔ ትሰናከላላችሁ፤ እረኛውን እመታለሁ የመንጋውም በጎች ይበተናሉ የሚል ተጽፎአልና፤

³¹Then Jesus said to them, “All of you will be made to stumble because of me tonight, for it is written, ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’ Zechariah 13:7

³²ከተነሣሁ በኋላ ግን ወደ ገሊላ እቀድማችኋለሁ አላቸው።

³² But after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee.”

³³ጴጥሮስም መልሶ። ሁሉም በአንተ ቢሰናከሉ እኔ ከቶ አልሰናከልም አለው።

³³But Peter answered him, “Even if all will be made to stumble because of you, I will never be made to stumble.”

³⁴ኢየሱስ። እውነት እልሃለሁ፥ በዚች ሌሊት ዶሮ ሳይጮኽ ሦስት ጊዜ ትክደኛለህ አለው።

³⁴Jesus said to him, “Most certainly I tell you that tonight, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.”

³⁵ጴጥሮስ። ከአንተ ጋር መሞት እንኳ የሚያስፈልገኝ ቢሆን፥ ከቶ አልክድህም አለው። ደቀ መዛሙርቱ ሁሉ ደግሞ እንደዚሁ አሉ።

³⁵Peter said to him, “Even if I must die with you, I will not deny you.” All of the disciples also said likewise.

³⁶በዚያን ጊዜ ኢየሱስ ከእነርሱ ጋር ጌቴሴማኒ ወደምትባል ስፍራ መጣ ደቀ መዛሙርቱንም። ወዲያ ሄጄ ስጸልይ ሳለ በዚህ ተቀመጡ አላቸው።

³⁶Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to his disciples, “Sit here, while I go there and pray.”

³⁷ጴጥሮስንም ሁለቱንም የዘብዴዎስን ልጆች ወስዶ ሊያዝን ሊተክዝም ጀመር።

³⁷He took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and severely troubled.

³⁸ነፍሴ እስከ ሞት ድረስ እጅግ አዘነች፤ በዚህ ቆዩ ከእኔም ጋር ትጉ አላቸው።

³⁸Then he said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here, and watch with me.”

³⁹ጥቂትም ወደ ፊት እልፍ ብሎ በፊቱ ወደቀና ሲጸልይ። አባቴ፥ ቢቻልስ፥ ይህች ጽዋ ከእኔ ትለፍ፤ ነገር ግን አንተ እንደምትወድ ይሁን እንጂ እኔ እንደምወድ አይሁን አለ።

³⁹He went forward a little, fell on his face, and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me; nevertheless, not what I desire, but what you desire.”

⁴⁰ወደ ደቀ መዛሙርቱም መጣ፤ ተኝተውም አገኛቸውና ጴጥሮስን። እንዲሁም ከእኔ ጋር አንዲት ሰዓት እንኳ ልትተጉ አልቻላችሁምን?

⁴⁰He came to the disciples, and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “What, couldn’t you watch with me for one hour?

⁴¹ወደ ፈተና እንዳትገቡ ትጉና ጸልዩ፤ መንፈስስ ተዘጋጅታለች ሥጋ ግን ደካማ ነው አለው።

⁴¹ Watch and pray, that you don’t enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

⁴²ደግሞ ሁለተኛ ሄዶ ጸለየና። አባቴ፥ ይህች ጽዋ ሳልጠጣት ታልፍ ዘንድ የማይቻል እንደ ሆነ፥ ፈቃድህ ትሁን አለ።

⁴²Again, a second time he went away, and prayed, saying, “My Father, if this cup can’t pass away from me unless I drink it, your desire be done.”

⁴³ደግሞም መጥቶ ዓይኖቻቸው በእንቅልፍ ከብደው ነበርና ተኝተው አገኛቸው።

⁴³He came again and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.

⁴⁴ደግሞም ትቶአቸው ሄደ፥ ሦስተኛም ያንኑ ቃል ደግሞ ጸለየ።

⁴⁴He left them again, went away, and prayed a third time, saying the same words.

⁴⁵ከዚያ ወዲያ ወደ ደቀ መዛሙርቱ መጥቶ። እንግዲህስ ተኙ ዕረፉም፤ እነሆ፥ ሰዓቲቱ ቀርባለች የሰው ልጅም በኃጢአተኞች እጅ አልፎ ይሰጣል።

⁴⁵Then he came to his disciples, and said to them, “Sleep on now, and take your rest. Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

⁴⁶ተነሡ፥ እንሂድ፤ እነሆ፥ አሳልፎ የሚሰጠኝ ቀርቦአል አላቸው።

⁴⁶ Arise, let’s be going. Behold, he who betrays me is at hand.”

⁴⁷ይህንም ገና ሲናገር፥ እነሆ፥ ከአሥራ ሁለቱ አንዱ ይሁዳ መጣ፥ ከእርሱም ጋር ብዙ ሕዝብ ሰይፍና ጐመድ ይዘው ከካህናት አለቆችና ከሕዝቡ ሽማግሎች ዘንድ መጡ።

⁴⁷While he was still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief priest and elders of the people.

⁴⁸አሳልፎ የሚሰጠውም። የምስመው እርሱ ነው፤ ያዙት ብሎ ምልክት ሰጥቶአቸው ነበር።

⁴⁸Now he who betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, “Whoever I kiss, he is the one. Seize him.”

⁴⁹ወዲያውም ወደ ኢየሱስ ቀረበና። መምህር ሆይ፥ ሰላም ለአንተ ይሁን ብሎ ሳመው።

⁴⁹Immediately he came to Jesus, and said, “Hail, Rabbi!” and kissed him.

⁵⁰ኢየሱስም። ወዳጄ ሆይ፥ ለምን ነገር መጣህ? አለው። በዚያን ጊዜ ቀረቡ እጃቸውንም በኢየሱስ ላይ ጭነው ያዙት።

⁵⁰Jesus said to him, “Friend, why are you here?” Then they came and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.

⁵¹እነሆም፥ ከኢየሱስ ጋር ከነበሩት አንዱ እጁን ዘርግቶ ሰይፉን መዘዘና የሊቀ ካህናቱን ባሪያ መትቶ ጆሮውን ቈረጠው።

⁵¹Behold, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck the servant of the high priest, and struck off his ear.

⁵²በዚያን ጊዜ ኢየሱስ እንዲህ አለው። ሰይፍ የሚያነሡ ሁሉ በሰይፍ ይጠፋሉና ሰይፍህን ወደ ስፍራው መልስ።

⁵²Then Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back into its place, for all those who take the sword will die by the sword.

⁵³ወይስ አባቴን እንድለምን እርሱም አሁን ከአሥራ ሁለት ጭፍሮች የሚበዙ መላእክት እንዲሰድልኝ የማይቻል ይመስልሃልን?

⁵³ Or do you think that I couldn’t ask my Father, and he would even now send me more than twelve legions of angels?

⁵⁴እንዲህ ከሆነስ። እንደዚህ ሊሆን ይገባል የሚሉ መጻሕፍት እንዴት ይፈጸማሉ?

⁵⁴ How then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that it must be so?”

⁵⁵በዚያን ሰዓት ኢየሱስ ለሕዝቡ። ወንበዴን እንደምትይዙ ሰይፍና ጐመድ ይዛችሁ ልትይዙኝ ወጣችሁን? በመቅደስ ዕለት ዕለት እያስተማርሁ ከእናንተ ጋር ስቀመጥ ሳለሁ አልያዛችሁኝም።

⁵⁵In that hour Jesus said to the multitudes, “Have you come out as against a robber with swords and clubs to seize me? I sat daily in the temple teaching, and you didn’t arrest me.

⁵⁶ነገር ግን ይህ ሁሉ የሆነ የነቢያት መጻሕፍት ይፈጸሙ ዘንድ ነው አለ። በዚያን ጊዜ ደቀ መዛሙርቱ ሁሉ ትተውት ሸሹ።

⁵⁶ But all this has happened, that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples left him, and fled.

⁵⁷ኢየሱስን የያዙትም ጻፎችና ሽማግሎች ወደ ተከማቹበት ወደ ሊቀ ካህናቱ ወደ ቀያፋ ወሰዱት።

⁵⁷Those who had taken Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together.

⁵⁸ጴጥሮስ ግን እስከ ሊቀ ካህናቱ ግቢ ድረስ ሩቅ ሆኖ ተከተለው፥ የነገሩንም ፍጻሜ ያይ ዘንድ ወደ ውስጥ ገብቶ ከሎሌዎቹ ጋር ተቀመጠ።

⁵⁸But Peter followed him from a distance, to the court of the high priest, and entered in and sat with the officers, to see the end.

⁵⁹የካህናት አለቆችና ሽማግሎች ሸንጐውም ሁሉ እንዲገድሉት በኢየሱስ ላይ የሐሰት ምስክር ይፈልጉ ነበር፥ አላገኙም፤

⁵⁹Now the chief priests, the elders, and the whole council sought false testimony against Jesus, that they might put him to death;

⁶⁰ብዙም የሐሰት ምስክሮች ምንም ቢቀርቡ አላገኙም።

⁶⁰and they found none. Even though many false witnesses came forward, they found none. But at last two false witnesses came forward,

⁶¹በኋላም ሁለት ቀርበው። ይህ ሰው። የእግዚአብሔርን ቤተ መቅደስ አፍርሼ በሦስት ቀን ልሠራው እችላለሁ ብሎአል አሉ።

⁶¹and said, “This man said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.’”

⁶²ሊቀ ካህናቱም ተነሥቶ። እነዚህ ለሚመሰክሩብህ አንድ ስንኳ አትመልስምን? አለው።

⁶²The high priest stood up, and said to him, “Have you no answer? What is this that these testify against you?”

⁶³ኢየሱስ ግን ዝም አለ። ሊቀ ካህናቱም። አንተ የእግዚአብሔር ልጅ ክርስቶስ የሆንህ እንደ ሆነ እንድትነግረን በሕያው እግዚአብሔር አምልሃለሁ አለው።

⁶³But Jesus held his peace. The high priest answered him, “I adjure you by the living God, that you tell us whether you are the Christ, the Son of God.”

⁶⁴ኢየሱስም። አንተ አልህ ነገር ግን እላችኋለሁ፥ ከእንግዲህ ወዲህ የሰው ልጅ በኃይል ቀኝ ሲቀመጥ በሰማይም ደመና ሲመጣ ታያላችሁ አለው።

⁶⁴Jesus said to him, “You have said it. Nevertheless, I tell you, after this you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of the sky.”

⁶⁵በዚያን ጊዜ ሊቀ ካህናቱ ልብሱን ቀዶ። ተሳድቦአል እንግዲህ ወዲህ ምስክሮች ስለ ምን ያስፈልገናል? እነሆ፥ ስድቡን አሁን ሰምታችኋል፤ ምን ይመስላችኋል? አለ።

⁶⁵Then the high priest tore his clothing, saying, “He has spoken blasphemy! Why do we need any more witnesses? Behold, now you have heard his blasphemy.

⁶⁶እነርሱም። ሞት ይገባዋል ብለው መለሱ።

⁶⁶What do you think?” They answered, “He is worthy of death!”

⁶⁷በዚያን ጊዜ በፊቱ ተፉበት፤ ጐሰሙትም፥ ሌሎችም በጥፊ መትተው። ክርስቶስ ሆይ፥ በጥፊ የመታህ ማን ነው?

⁶⁷Then they spit in his face and beat him with their fists, and some slapped him,

⁶⁸ትንቢት ተናገርልን አሉ።

⁶⁸saying, “Prophesy to us, you Christ! Who hit you?”

⁶⁹ጴጥሮስም ከቤት ውጭ በአጥሩ ግቢ ተቀምጦ ነበር፤ አንዲት ገረድም ወደ እርሱ ቀርባ። አንተ ደግሞ ከገሊላው ከኢየሱስ ጋር ነበርህ አለችው።

⁶⁹Now Peter was sitting outside in the court, and a maid came to him, saying, “You were also with Jesus, the Galilean!”

⁷⁰እርሱ ግን። የምትዪውን አላውቀውም ብሎ በሁሉ ፊት ካደ።

⁷⁰But he denied it before them all, saying, “I don’t know what you are talking about.”

⁷¹ወደ በሩም ሲወጣ ሌላይቱ አየችውና በዚያ ላሉት። ይህ ደግሞ ከናዝሬቱ ከኢየሱስ ጋር ነበረ አለች።

⁷¹When he had gone out onto the porch, someone else saw him, and said to those who were there, “This man also was with Jesus of Nazareth.”

⁷²ዳግመኛም ሲምል። ሰውየውን አላውቀውም ብሎ ካደ።

⁷²Again he denied it with an oath, “I don’t know the man.”

⁷³ጥቂትም ቈይተው በዚያ ቆመው የነበሩ ቀርበው ጴጥሮስን። አነጋገርህ ይገልጥሃልና በእውነት አንተ ደግሞ ከእነርሱ ወገን ነህ አሉት።

⁷³After a little while those who stood by came and said to Peter, “Surely you are also one of them, for your speech makes you known.”

⁷⁴በዚያን ጊዜ። ሰውየውን አላውቀውም ብሎ ሊራገምና ሊምል ጀመረ። ወዲያውም ዶሮ ጮኸ።

⁷⁴Then he began to curse and to swear, “I don’t know the man!” Immediately the rooster crowed.

⁷⁵ጴጥሮስም። ዶሮ ሳይጮኽ ሦስት ጊዜ ትክደኛለህ ያለው የኢየሱስ ቃል ትዝ አለው፤ ወደ ውጭም ወጥቶ መራራ ልቅሶ አለቀሰ።

⁷⁵Peter remembered the word which Jesus had said to him, “Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” He went out and wept bitterly.
