¹Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness

¹ኢየሱስም መንፈስ ቅዱስ መልቶበት ከዮርዳኖስ ተመለሰ፥ በመንፈስም ወደ ምድረ በዳ ተመርቶ፥

²for forty days, being tempted by the devil. He ate nothing in those days. Afterward, when they were completed, he was hungry.

²አርባ ቀን ከዲያብሎስ ተፈተነ። በነዚያም ቀኖች ምንም አልበላም፥ ከተጨረሱም በኋላ ተራበ።

³The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.”

³ዲያብሎስም። የእግዚአብሔር ልጅ ከሆንህ፥ ይህን ድንጋይ። እንጀራ ሁን ብለህ እዘዝ አለው።

⁴Jesus answered him, saying, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.’” Deuteronomy 8:3

⁴ኢየሱስም። ሰው በእግዚአብሔር ቃል ሁሉ እንጂ በእንጀራ ብቻ አይኖርም ተብሎ ተጽፎአል ብሎ መለሰለት።

⁵The devil, leading him up on a high mountain, showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

⁵ዲያብሎስም ረጅም ወደ ሆነ ተራራ አውጥቶ የዓለምን መንግሥታት ሁሉ በቅጽበት አሳየው።

⁶The devil said to him, “I will give you all this authority, and their glory, for it has been delivered to me; and I give it to whomever I want.

⁶ዲያብሎስም። ይህ ሥልጣን ሁሉ ክብራቸውም ለእኔ ተሰጥቶአል ለምወደውም ለማንም እሰጠዋለሁና ለአንተ እሰጥሃለሁ፤

⁷If you therefore will worship before me, it will all be yours.”

⁷ስለዚህ አንተ በእኔ ፊት ብትሰግድ፥ ሁሉ ለአንተ ይሆናል አለው።

⁸Jesus answered him, “Get behind me Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and you shall serve him only.’” Deuteronomy 6:13

⁸ኢየሱስም መልሶ። ለጌታ ለአምላክህ ስገድ እርሱንም ብቻ አምልክ ተብሎ ተጽፎአል አለው።

⁹He led him to Jerusalem, and set him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, cast yourself down from here,

⁹ወደ ኢየሩሳሌም ደግሞ ወሰደው፤ በመቅደስም ጫፍ ላይ አቁሞ። ይጠብቁህ ዘንድ መላእክቱን ስለ አንተ ያዝልሃል፥ እግርህንም በድንጋይ ከቶ እንዳትሰናከል በእጃቸው ያነሡሃል ተብሎ ተጽፎአልና የእግዚአብሔር ልጅስ ከሆንህ፥ ከዚህ ወደ ታች ራስህን ወርውር አለው።

¹⁰for it is written, ‘He will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you;’

¹²ኢየሱስም መልሶ። ጌታን አምላክህን አትፈታተነው ተብሎአል አለው።

¹¹and, ‘On their hands they will bear you up, lest perhaps you dash your foot against a stone.’” Psalm 91:11-12

¹³ዲያቢሎስም ፈተናውን ሁሉ ከጨረሰ በኋላ እስከ ጊዜው ከእርሱ ተለየ።

¹²Jesus answering, said to him, “It has been said, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’” Deuteronomy 6:16

¹⁴ኢየሱስም በመንፈስ ኃይል ወደ ገሊላ ተመለሰ፤ ስለ እርሱም በዙሪያው ባለችው አገር ሁሉ ዝና ወጣ።

¹³When the devil had completed every temptation, he departed from him until another time.

¹⁵እርሱም በምኵራባቸው ያስተምር፥ ሁሉም ያመሰግኑት ነበር።

¹⁴Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee, and news about him spread through all the surrounding area.

¹⁶ወዳደገበትም ወደ ናዝሬት መጣ፤ እንደ ልማዱም በሰንበት ቀን ወደ ምኵራብ ገባ፥ ሊያነብም ተነሣ።

¹⁵He taught in their synagogues, being glorified by all.

¹⁷የነቢዩንም የኢሳይያስን መጽሐፍ ሰጡት፥ መጽሐፉንም በተረተረ ጊዜ። የጌታ መንፈስ በእኔ ላይ ነው፥ ለድሆች ወንጌልን እሰብክ ዘንድ ቀብቶኛልና፤ ለታሰሩትም መፈታትን ለዕውሮችም ማየትን እሰብክ ዘንድ፥ የተጠቁትንም ነጻ አወጣ ዘንድ የተወደደችውንም የጌታን ዓመት እሰብክ ዘንድ ልኮኛል ተብሎ የተጻፈበትን ስፍራ አገኘ።

¹⁶He came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up. He entered, as was his custom, into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read.

²⁰መጽሐፉንም ጠቅልሎ ለአገልጋዩ ሰጠውና ተቀመጠ፤ በምኵራብም የነበሩት ሁሉ ትኵር ብለው ይመለከቱት ነበር።

¹⁷The book of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. He opened the book, and found the place where it was written,

²¹እርሱም። ዛሬ ይህ መጽሐፍ በጆሮአችሁ ተፈጸመ ይላቸው ጀመር።

¹⁸ “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, NU omits “to heal the brokenhearted” to proclaim release to the captives, recovering of sight to the blind, to deliver those who are crushed,

²²ሁሉም ይመሰክሩለት ነበር ከአፉም ከሚወጣው ከጸጋው ቃል የተነሣ እየተደነቁ። ይህ የዮሴፍ ልጅ አይደለምን? ይሉ ነበር።

¹⁹ and to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.” Isaiah 61:1-2

²³እርሱም። ያለ ጥርጥር ይህን ምሳሌ። ባለ መድኃኒት ሆይ፥ ራስህን ፈውስ፤ በቅፍርናሆም እንዳደረግኸው የሰማነውን ሁሉ በዚህ በገዛ አገርህ ደግሞ አድርግ ትሉኛላችሁ አላቸው።

²⁰He closed the book, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down. The eyes of all in the synagogue were fastened on him.

²⁴እንዲህም አለ። እውነት እላችኋለሁ፥ ነቢይ በገዛ አገሩ ከቶ አይወደድም።

²¹He began to tell them, “Today, this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.”

²⁵ነገር ግን እውነት እላችኋለሁ፥ በኤልያስ ዘመን ሦስት ዓመት ከስድስት ወር ሰማይ ተዘግቶ ሳለ በምድር ሁሉ ብርቱ ራብ በነበረ ጊዜ፥ በእስራኤል ብዙ መበለቶች ነበሩ፤

²²All testified about him, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth, and they said, “Isn’t this Joseph’s son?”

²⁶ኤልያስም በሲዶና አገር ወዳለች ወደ ሰራፕታ ወደ አንዲት መበለት እንጂ ከእነርሱ ወደ አንዲቱ አልተላከም።

²³He said to them, “Doubtless you will tell me this parable, ‘Physician, heal yourself! Whatever we have heard done at Capernaum, do also here in your hometown.’”

²⁷በነቢዩ በኤልሳዕ ዘመንም በእስራኤል ብዙ ለምጻሞች ነበሩ፥ ከሶርያዊው ከንዕማን በቀር ከእነርሱ አንድ ስንኳ አልነጻም።

²⁴He said, “Most certainly I tell you, no prophet is acceptable in his hometown.

²⁸በምኵራብም የነበሩ ሁሉ ይህን ሰምተው ቍጣ ሞላባቸው፥ ተነሥተውም ከከተማ ወደ ውጭ አወጡት፥

²⁵ But truly I tell you, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the sky was shut up three years and six months, when a great famine came over all the land.

²⁹ይጥሉትም ዘንድ ከተማቸው ተሠርታባት ወደ ነበረች ወደ ተራራው አፋፍ ወሰዱት፤

²⁶ Elijah was sent to none of them, except to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow.

³⁰እርሱ ግን በመካከላቸው አልፎ ሄደ።

²⁷ There were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, yet not one of them was cleansed, except Naaman, the Syrian.”

³¹ወደ ገሊላ ከተማም ወደ ቅፍርናሆም ወረደ። በሰንበትም ያስተምራቸው ነበር፤

²⁸They were all filled with wrath in the synagogue, as they heard these things.

³²ቃሉ በሥልጣን ነበርና በትምህርቱ ተገረሙ።

²⁹They rose up, threw him out of the city, and led him to the brow of the hill that their city was built on, that they might throw him off the cliff.

³³በምኵራብም የርኵስ ጋኔን መንፈስ ያደረበት ሰው ነበረ፥ በታላቅ ድምፅም ጮኾ።

³⁰But he, passing through their midst, went his way.

³⁴ተው፥ የናዝሬቱ ኢየሱስ ሆይ፥ ከአንተ ጋር ምን አለን? ልታጠፋን መጣህን? ማን እንደ ሆንህ አውቄሃለሁ፥ አንተ የእግዚአብሔር ቅዱሱ አለ።

³¹He came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee. He was teaching them on the Sabbath day,

³⁵ኢየሱስም። ዝም በል ከእርሱም ውጣ ብሎ ገሠጸው። ጋኔኑም በመካከላቸው ጥሎት ሳይጐዳው ከእርሱ ወጣ።

³²and they were astonished at his teaching, for his word was with authority.

³⁶ሁሉንም መደነቅ ያዛቸው፥ እርስ በርሳቸውም። ይህ ቃል ምንድር ነው? በሥልጣንና በኃይል ርኵሳን መናፍስትን ያዝዛልና፥ ይወጡማል ብለው ተነጋገሩ።

³³In the synagogue there was a man who had a spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried out with a loud voice,

³⁷ዝናም በዙሪያው ባለች አገር ወደ ስፍራው ሁሉ ስለ እርሱ ወጣ።

³⁴saying, “Ah! what have we to do with you, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know you who you are: the Holy One of God!”

³⁸በምኵራብም ተነሥቶ ወደ ስምዖን ቤት ገባ። የስምዖንም አማት በብርቱ ንዳድ ታማ ነበር ስለ እርስዋም ለመኑት።

³⁵Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be silent, and come out of him!” When the demon had thrown him down in their midst, he came out of him, having done him no harm.

³⁹በአጠገብዋም ቆሞ ንዳዱን ገሠጸውና ለቀቃት፤ ያንጊዜውንም ተነሥታ አገለገለቻቸው።

³⁶Amazement came on all, and they spoke together, one with another, saying, “What is this word? For with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out!”

⁴⁰ፀሐይም በገባ ጊዜ በልዩ ልዩ ደዌ የተያዙ በሽተኞችን ሁሉ ወደ እርሱ አመጡአቸው፤ እርሱም በእያንዳቸው ላይ እጁን ጭኖ ፈወሳቸው።

³⁷News about him went out into every place of the surrounding region.

⁴¹አጋንንትም ደግሞ። አንተ ክርስቶስ የእግዚአብሔር ልጅ ነህ እያሉ እየጮኹም ከብዙዎች ይወጡ ነበር፤ ገሠጻቸውም ክርስቶስም እንደ ሆነ አውቀውት ነበርና እንዲናገሩ አልፈቀደላቸውም።

³⁸He rose up from the synagogue, and entered into Simon’s house. Simon’s mother-in-law was afflicted with a great fever, and they begged him for her.

⁴²በጸባም ጊዜ ወጥቶ ወደ ምድረ በዳ ሄደ፤ ሕዝቡም ይፈልጉት ነበር፤ ወደ እርሱም መጡ፥ ከእነርሱም ተለይቶ እንዳይሄድ ሊከለክሉት ወደዱ።

³⁹He stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her. Immediately she rose up and served them.

⁴³እርሱ ግን። ስለዚህ ተልኬአለሁና ለሌሎቹ ከተማዎች ደግሞ የእግዚአብሔርን መንግሥት ወንጌል እሰብክ ዘንድ ይገባኛል አላቸው።

⁴⁰When the sun was setting, all those who had any sick with various diseases brought them to him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them.

⁴⁴በገሊላም ምኵራቦች ይሰብክ ነበር።

⁴¹Demons also came out from many, crying out, and saying, “You are the Christ, the Son of God!” Rebuking them, he didn’t allow them to speak, because they knew that he was the Christ.

⁴²When it was day, he departed and went into an uninhabited place, and the multitudes looked for him, and came to him, and held on to him, so that he wouldn’t go away from them.

⁴³But he said to them, “I must preach the good news of the Kingdom of God to the other cities also. For this reason I have been sent.”

⁴⁴He was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.
