¹He said to the disciples, “It is impossible that no occasions of stumbling should come, but woe to him through whom they come!

¹ለደቀ መዛሙርቱም እንዲህ አለ። መሰናክል ግድ ሳይመጣ አይቀርም፥ ነገር ግን መሰናክሉን ለሚያመጣው ወዮለት፤

² It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, rather than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble.

²ከእነዚህ ከታናናሾች አንዱን ከማሰናከል ይልቅ የወፍጮ ድንጋይ በአንገቱ ታስሮ ወደ ባሕር ቢጣል ይጠቅመው ነበር።

³ Be careful. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him. If he repents, forgive him.

³ለራሳችሁ ተጠንቀቁ። ወንድምህ ቢበድልህ ገሥጸው፥ ቢጸጸትም ይቅር በለው።

⁴ If he sins against you seven times in the day, and seven times returns, saying, ‘I repent,’ you shall forgive him.”

⁴በቀንም ሰባት ጊዜ እንኳ ቢበድልህ በቀንም ሰባት ጊዜ። ተጸጸትሁ እያለ ወደ አንተ ቢመለስ፥ ይቅር በለው።

⁵The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.”

⁵ሐዋርያትም ጌታን። እምነት ጨምርልን አሉት።

⁶The Lord said, “If you had faith like a grain of mustard seed, you would tell this sycamore tree, ‘Be uprooted, and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.

⁶ጌታም አለ። የሰናፍጭ ቅንጣት የሚያህል እምነት ቢኖራችሁ፥ ይህን ሾላ። ተነቅለህ ወደ ባሕር ተተከል ብትሉት፥ ይታዘዝላችሁ ነበር።

⁷ But who is there among you, having a servant plowing or keeping sheep, that will say, when he comes in from the field, ‘Come immediately and sit down at the table,’

⁷ከእናንተም የሚያርስ ወይም ከብትን የሚጠብቅ ባሪያ ያለው፥ ከእርሻ ሲመለስ። ወዲያው ቅረብና በማዕድ ተቀመጥ የሚለው ማን ነው?

⁸ and will not rather tell him, ‘Prepare my supper, clothe yourself properly, and serve me, while I eat and drink. Afterward you shall eat and drink’?

⁸የምበላውን እራቴን አሰናዳልኝ፥ እስክበላና እስክጠጣ ድረስ ታጥቀህ አገልግለኝ፥ በኋላም አንተ ብላና ጠጣ የሚለው አይደለምን?

⁹ Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded? I think not.

⁹ያንን ባሪያ ያዘዘውን ስላደረገ ያመሰግነዋልን?

¹⁰ Even so you also, when you have done all the things that are commanded you, say, ‘We are unworthy servants. We have done our duty.’”

¹⁰እንዲሁ እናንተ ደግሞ የታዘዛችሁትን ሁሉ ባደረጋችሁ ጊዜ። የማንጠቅም ባሪያዎች ነን፥ ልናደርገው የሚገባንን አድርገናል በሉ።

¹¹It happened as he was on his way to Jerusalem, that he was passing along the borders of Samaria and Galilee.

¹¹ወደ ኢየሩሳሌምም ሲሄድ በገሊላና በሰማርያ መካከል አለፈ።

¹²As he entered into a certain village, ten men who were lepers met him, who stood at a distance.

¹²ወደ አንዲት መንደርም ሲገባ በሩቅ የቆሙት አሥር ለምጻሞች ተገናኙት፤

¹³They lifted up their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”

¹³እነርሱም እየጮኹ። ኢየሱስ ሆይ፥ አቤቱ፥ ማረን አሉ።

¹⁴When he saw them, he said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” It happened that as they went, they were cleansed.

¹⁴አይቶም። ሂዱ፥ ራሳችሁን ለካህናት አሳዩ አላቸው።

¹⁵One of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice.

¹⁵እነሆም፥ ሲሄዱ ነጹ። ከእነርሱም አንዱ እንደ ተፈወሰ ባየ ጊዜ በታላቅ ድምፅ እግዚአብሔርን እያከበረ ተመለሰ፥

¹⁶He fell on his face at Jesus’ feet, giving him thanks; and he was a Samaritan.

¹⁶እያመሰገነውም በእግሩ ፊት በግንባሩ ወደቀ፤ እርሱም ሳምራዊ ነበረ።

¹⁷Jesus answered, “Weren’t the ten cleansed? But where are the nine?

¹⁷ኢየሱስም መልሶ። አሥሩ አልነጹምን? ዘጠኙስ ወዴት አሉ?

¹⁸ Were there none found who returned to give glory to God, except this stranger?”

¹⁸ከዚህ ከልዩ ወገን በቀር እግዚአብሔርን ሊያከብሩ የተመለሱ አልተገኙም አለ።

¹⁹Then he said to him, “Get up, and go your way. Your faith has healed you.”

¹⁹እርሱንም። ተነሣና ሂድ፤ እምነትህ አድኖሃል አለው።

²⁰Being asked by the Pharisees when the Kingdom of God would come, he answered them, “The Kingdom of God doesn’t come with observation;

²⁰ፈሪሳውያንም። የእግዚአብሔር መንግሥት መቼ ትመጣለች ብለው ቢጠይቁት፥ መልሶ። የእግዚአብሔር መንግሥት በመጠባበቅ አትመጣም፤

²¹ neither will they say, ‘Look, here!’ or, ‘Look, there!’ for behold, the Kingdom of God is within you.”

²¹ደግሞም። እንኋት በዚህ ወይም። እንኋት በዚያ አይሉአትም። እነሆ፥ የእግዚአብሔር መንግሥት በመካከላችሁ ናትና አላቸው።

²²He said to the disciples, “The days will come, when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it.

²²ለደቀ መዛሙርቱም እንዲህ አለ። ከሰው ልጅ ቀኖች አንዱን ልታዩ የምትመኙበት ወራት ይመጣል አታዩትምም።

²³ They will tell you, ‘Look, here!’ or ‘Look, there!’ Don’t go away, nor follow after them,

²³እነርሱም። እነሆ በዚህ፥ ወይም። እነሆ በዚያ ይሉአችኋል፤ አትሂዱ አትከተሉአቸውም።

²⁴ for as the lightning, when it flashes out of the one part under the sky, shines to the other part under the sky; so will the Son of Man be in his day.

²⁴መብረቅ በርቆ ከሰማይ በታች ካለ ከአንድ አገር ከሰማይ በታች ወዳለው ወደ ሌላ አገር እንደሚያበራ፥ የሰው ልጅ በቀኑ እንዲህ ይሆናል።

²⁵ But first, he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.

²⁵አስቀድሞ ግን ብዙ መከራ እንዲቀበል ከዚህም ትውልድ እንዲጣል ይገባዋል።

²⁶ As it happened in the days of Noah, even so will it be also in the days of the Son of Man.

²⁶በኖኅ ዘመንም እንደ ሆነ፥ በሰው ልጅ ዘመን ደግሞ እንዲሁ ይሆናል።

²⁷ They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ship, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.

²⁷ኖኅ ወደ መርከብ እስከ ገባበት ቀን ድረስ፥ ይበሉና ይጠጡ ያገቡና ይጋቡም ነበር፥ የጥፋት ውኃም መጣ ሁሉንም አጠፋ።

²⁸ Likewise, even as it happened in the days of Lot: they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;

²⁸እንዲሁ በሎጥ ዘመን እንደ ሆነ፤ ይበሉ ይጠጡም ይገዙም ይሸጡም ይተክሉም ቤትም ይሠሩ ነበር፤

²⁹ but in the day that Lot went out from Sodom, it rained fire and sulfur from the sky, and destroyed them all.

²⁹ሎጥ ከሰዶም በወጣበት ቀን ግን ከሰማይ እሳትና ዲን ዘነበ ሁሉንም አጠፋ።

³⁰ It will be the same way in the day that the Son of Man is revealed.

³⁰የሰው ልጅ በሚገለጥበት ቀን እንዲሁ ይሆናል።

³¹ In that day, he who will be on the housetop, and his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them away. Let him who is in the field likewise not turn back.

³¹በዚያም ቀን በሰገነት ያለ በቤቱ ያለውን ዕቃ ሊወስድ አይውረድ፥ እንዲሁም በእርሻ ያለ ወደ ኋላው አይመለስ።

³² Remember Lot’s wife!

³²የሎጥን ሚስት አስቡአት።

³³ Whoever seeks to save his life loses it, but whoever loses his life preserves it.

³³ነፍሱን ሊያድን የሚፈልግ ሁሉ ያጠፋታል፥ ነፍሱንም የሚያጠፋ ሁሉ በሕይወት ይጠብቃታል።

³⁴ I tell you, in that night there will be two people in one bed. The one will be taken, and the other will be left.

³⁴እላችኋለሁ፥ በዚያች ሌሊት ሁለት ሰዎች በአንድ አልጋ ይሆናሉ፤ አንዱ ይወሰዳል ሁለተኛውም ይቀራል።

³⁵ There will be two grinding grain together. One will be taken, and the other will be left.”

³⁵ሁለት ሴቶች በአንድ ወፍጮ ይፈጫሉ፤ አንዲቱ ትወሰዳለች ሁለተኛይቱም ትቀራለች።

³⁶ Some Greek manuscripts add: “Two will be in the field: the one taken, and the other left.”

³⁶ሁለት ሰዎች በእርሻ ይሆናሉ፤ አንዱ ይወሰዳል ሁለተኛውም ይቀራል።

³⁷They, answering, asked him, “Where, Lord?” He said to them, “Where the body is, there will the vultures also be gathered together.”

³⁷መልሰውም። ጌታ ሆይ፥ ወዴት ነው? አሉት። እርሱም። ሥጋ ወዳለበት በዚያ አሞራዎች ይሰበሰባሉ አላቸው።
