¹በታንኳም ገብቶ ተሻገረና ወደ ገዛ ከተማው መጣ።

¹He entered into a boat, and crossed over, and came into his own city.

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

²Behold, they brought to him a man who was paralyzed, lying on a bed. Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, “Son, cheer up! Your sins are forgiven you.”

³እነሆም፥ ከጻፎቹ አንዳንዱ በልባቸው። ይህስ ይሳደባል አሉ።

³Behold, some of the scribes said to themselves, “This man blasphemes.”

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

⁴Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, “Why do you think evil in your hearts?

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

⁵ For which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven;’ or to say, ‘Get 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።

⁶ But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins...” (then he said to the paralytic), “Get up, and take up your mat, and go up to your house.”

⁷ተነሥቶም ወደ ቤቱ ሄደ።

⁷He arose and departed to his house.

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

⁸But when the multitudes saw it, they marveled and glorified God, who had given such authority to men.

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

⁹As Jesus passed by from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax collection office. He said to him, “Follow me.” He got up and followed him.

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

¹⁰It happened as he sat in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with Jesus and his disciples.

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

¹¹When the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”

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

¹²When Jesus heard it, he said to them, “Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick do.

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

¹³ But you go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ Hosea 6:6 for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. NU omits “to repentance”. ”

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

¹⁴Then John’s disciples came to him, saying, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but your disciples don’t fast?”

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

¹⁵Jesus said to them, “Can the friends of the bridegroom mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast.

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

¹⁶ No one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; for the patch would tear away from the garment, and a worse hole is made.

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።

¹⁷ Neither do people put new wine into old wineskins, or else the skins would burst, and the wine be spilled, and the skins ruined. No, they put new wine into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved.”

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

¹⁸While he told these things to them, behold, a ruler came and worshiped him, saying, “My daughter has just died, but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live.”

¹⁹ኢየሱስም ተነሥቶ ከደቀ መዛሙርቱ ጋር ተከተለው።

¹⁹Jesus got up and followed him, as did his disciples.

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

²⁰Behold, a woman who had an issue of blood for twelve years came behind him, and touched the fringe or, tassel of his garment;

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

²¹for she said within herself, “If I just touch his garment, I will be made well.”

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

²²But Jesus, turning around and seeing her, said, “Daughter, cheer up! Your faith has made you well.” And the woman was made well from that hour.

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

²³When Jesus came into the ruler’s house, and saw the flute players, and the crowd in noisy disorder,

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

²⁴he said to them, “Make room, because the girl isn’t dead, but sleeping.” They were ridiculing him.

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

²⁵But when the crowd was put out, he entered in, took her by the hand, and the girl arose.

²⁶ያም ዝና ወደዚያ አገር ሁሉ ወጣ።

²⁶The report of this went out into all that land.

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

²⁷As Jesus passed by from there, two blind men followed him, calling out 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።

²⁸When he had come into the house, the blind men came to him. Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They told him, “Yes, Lord.”

²⁹በዚያን ጊዜ። እንደ እምነታችሁ ይሁንላችሁ ብሎ ዓይኖቻቸውን ዳሰሰ።

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

³⁰ዓይኖቻቸውም ተከፈቱ።

³⁰Their eyes were opened. Jesus strictly commanded them, saying, “See that no one knows about this.”

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

³¹But they went out and spread abroad his fame in all that land.

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

³²As they went out, behold, a mute man who was demon possessed was brought to him.

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

³³When the demon was cast out, the mute man spoke. The multitudes marveled, saying, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel!”

³⁴ፈሪሳውያን ግን። በአጋንንት አለቃ አጋንንትን ያወጣል አሉ።

³⁴But the Pharisees said, “By the prince of the demons, he casts out demons.”

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

³⁵Jesus went about all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the Good News of the Kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness among the people.

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

³⁶But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion for them, because they were harassed TR reads “weary” instead of “harassed” and scattered, like sheep without a shepherd.

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

³⁷Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest indeed is plentiful, but the laborers are few.

³⁸እንግዲህ የመከሩን ጌታ ወደ መከሩ ሠራተኞች እንዲልክ ለምኑት አላቸው።

³⁸ Pray therefore that the Lord of the harvest will send out laborers into his harvest.”
