¹Now it happened on the second Sabbath after the first, that he was going through the grain fields. His disciples plucked the heads of grain, and ate, rubbing them in their hands.

¹በሰንበትም በእርሻ መካከል ያልፍ ነበር ደቀ መዛሙርቱም እሸት ይቀጥፉ በእጃቸውም እያሹ ይበሉ ነበር።

²But some of the Pharisees said to them, “Why do you do that which is not lawful to do on the Sabbath day?”

²ከፈሪሳውያን ግን አንዳንዶቹ። በሰንበት ሊያደርግ ያልተፈቀደውን ስለ ምን ታደርጋላችሁ? አሉአቸው።

³Jesus, answering them, said, “Haven’t you read what David did when he was hungry, he, and those who were with him;

³ኢየሱስም ለእነርሱ መልሶ። ዳዊት በተራበ ጊዜ እርሱ አብረውት ከነበሩ ጋር ያደረገውን፥ ወደ እግዚአብሔር ቤት እንደ ገባ ከካህናት ብቻ በቀር መብላቱ ያልተፈቀደውን የመሥዋዕትን እንጀራ ይዞ እንደ በላ፥ ከእርሱም ጋር ለነበሩት ደግሞ እንደ ሰጣቸው ይህን አላነበባችሁምን? አለ።

⁴ how he entered into God’s house, and took and ate the show bread, and gave also to those who were with him, which is not lawful to eat except for the priests alone?”

⁵የሰው ልጅ የሰንበት ጌታ ነው አላቸውም።

⁵He said to them, “The Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath.”

⁶በሌላው ሰንበትም ወደ ምኵራብ ገብቶ አስተማረ፤ በዚያም ቀኝ እጁ የሰለለች ሰው ነበረ፤

⁶It also happened on another Sabbath that he entered into the synagogue and taught. There was a man there, and his right hand was withered.

⁷ጻፎችና ፈሪሳውያንም መክሰሻ ሊያገኙበት በሰንበት ይፈውስ እንደ ሆነ ይጠባበቁት ነበር።

⁷The scribes and the Pharisees watched him, to see whether he would heal on the Sabbath, that they might find an accusation against him.

⁸እርሱ ግን አሳባቸውን አውቆ እጁ የሰለለችውን ሰው። ተነሣና በመካከል ቁም አለው፤ ተነሥቶም ቆመ።

⁸But he knew their thoughts; and he said to the man who had the withered hand, “Rise up, and stand in the middle.” He arose and stood.

⁹ኢየሱስም። እጠይቃችኋለሁ፤ በሰንበት በጎ ማድረግ ተፈቅዶአልን ወይስ ክፉ? ነፍስ ማዳንን ወይስ መግደል? አላቸው።

⁹Then Jesus said to them, “I will ask you something: Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good, or to do harm? To save a life, or to kill?”

¹⁰ሁላቸውንም ዙሪያውን አየና ሰውዬውን። እጅህን ዘርጋ አለው። እርሱም እንዲህ አደረገ፥ እጁም እንደ ሁለተኛይቱ ዳነች።

¹⁰He looked around at them all, and said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He did, and his hand was restored as sound as the other.

¹¹እነርሱም ቍጣ ሞላባቸው፥ በኢየሱስም ምን እንዲያደርጉበት እርስ በርሳቸው ተባባሉ።

¹¹But they were filled with rage, and talked with one another about what they might do to Jesus.

¹²በነዚህም ወራት ይጸልይ ዘንድ ወደ ተራራ ወጣ፥ ሌሊቱንም ሁሉ ወደ እግዚአብሔር ሲጸልይ አደረ።

¹²It happened in these days, that he went out to the mountain to pray, and he continued all night in prayer to God.

¹³በነጋም ጊዜ ደቀ መዛሙርቱን ጠራ፥ ከእነርሱም አሥራ ሁለት መረጠ ደግሞም ሐዋርያት ብሎ ሰየማቸው፤

¹³When it was day, he called his disciples, and from them he chose twelve, whom he also named apostles:

¹⁴እነርሱም፥ ጴጥሮስ ብሎ እንደ ገና የሰየመው ስምዖን፥ ወንድሙም እንድርያስ፥ ያዕቆብም ዮሐንስም፥ ፊልጶስም በርተሎሜዎስም፥

¹⁴Simon, whom he also named Peter; Andrew, his brother; James; John; Philip; Bartholomew;

¹⁵ማቴዎስም ቶማስም፥ የእልፍዮስ ልጅ ያዕቆብም ቀናተኛ የሚባለው ስምዖንም፥

¹⁵Matthew; Thomas; James, the son of Alphaeus; Simon, who was called the Zealot;

¹⁶የያዕቆብ ይሁዳም፥ አሳልፎ የሰጠውም የአስቆሮቱ ይሁዳ ናቸው።

¹⁶Judas the son of James; and Judas Iscariot, who also became a traitor.

¹⁷ከእነርሱም ጋር ወርዶ በተካከለ ስፍራ ቆመ፥ ከደቀ መዛሙርቱም ወገን ብዙ ሕዝብ ነበረ፥ ደግሞም ሊሰሙትና ከደዌአቸው ሊፈወሱ ከይሁዳ ሁሉ ከኢየሩሳሌምም ከጢሮስና ከሲዶና ባሕር ዳርም የመጡ ብዙ ሰዎች ነበሩ፤

¹⁷He came down with them, and stood on a level place, with a crowd of his disciples, and a great number of the people from all Judea and Jerusalem, and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases;

¹⁸ከርኵሳንም መናፍስት ይሠቃዩ የነበሩት ተፈወሱ፤

¹⁸as well as those who were troubled by unclean spirits, and they were being healed.

¹⁹ከእርሱም ኃይል ወጥቶ ሁሉን ይፈውስ ነበርና ሕዝቡ ሁሉ ሊዳስሱት ይሹ ነበር።

¹⁹All the multitude sought to touch him, for power came out from him and healed them all.

²⁰እርሱም ወደ ደቀ መዛሙርቱ ዓይኑን አነሣ እንዲህም አላቸው። እናንተ ድሆች ብፁዓን ናችሁ፥ የእግዚአብሔር መንግሥት የእናንተ ነውና።

²⁰He lifted up his eyes to his disciples, and said, “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the Kingdom of God.

²¹እናንተ አሁን የምትራቡ ብፁዓን ናችሁ፥ ትጠግባላችሁና። እናንተ አሁን የምታለቅሱ ብፁዓን ናችሁ፥ ትስቃላችሁና።

²¹ Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.

²²ሰዎች ስለ ሰው ልጅ ሲጠሉአችሁ ሲለዩአችሁም ሲነቅፉአችሁም ስማችሁንም እንደ ክፉ ሲያወጡ፥ ብፁዓን ናችሁ።

²² Blessed are you when men shall hate you, and when they shall exclude and mock you, and throw out your name as evil, for the Son of Man’s sake.

²³እነሆ፥ ዋጋችሁ በሰማይ ታላቅ ነውና በዚያን ቀን ደስ ይበላችሁ ዝለሉም፤ አባቶቻቸው ነቢያትን እንዲህ ያደርጉባቸው ነበርና።

²³ Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven, for their fathers did the same thing to the prophets.

²⁴ነገር ግን እናንተ ባለ ጠጎች ወዮላችሁ፥ መጽናናታችሁን ተቀብላችኋልና።

²⁴ “But woe to you who are rich! For you have received your consolation.

²⁵እናንተ አሁን የጠገባችሁ ወዮላችሁ፥ ትራባላችሁና። እናንተ አሁን የምትስቁ ወዮላችሁ፥ ታዝናላችሁና ታለቅሱማላችሁ።

²⁵ Woe to you, you who are full now, for you will be hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep.

²⁶ሰዎች ሁሉ መልካም ሲናገሩላችሁ፥ ወዮላችሁ፤ አባቶቻቸው ለሐሰተኞች ነቢያት እንዲሁ ያደርጉላቸው ነበርና።

²⁶ Woe, TR adds “to you” when TR adds “all” men speak well of you, for their fathers did the same thing to the false prophets.

²⁷ነገር ግን ለእናንተ ለምትሰሙ እላችኋለሁ፥ ጠላቶቻችሁን ውደዱ፥ ለሚጠሉአችሁ መልካም አድርጉ፥

²⁷ “But I tell you who hear: love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,

²⁸የሚረግሙአችሁንም መርቁ፥ ስለሚበድሉአችሁም ጸልዩ።

²⁸ bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you.

²⁹ጕንጭህን ለሚመታህ ደግሞ ሁለተኛውን ስጠው፥ መጐናጸፊያህንም ለሚወስድ እጀ ጠባብህን ደግሞ አትከልክለው።

²⁹ To him who strikes you on the cheek, offer also the other; and from him who takes away your cloak, don’t withhold your coat also.

³⁰ለሚለምንህ ሁሉ ስጥ፥ ገንዘብህንም የሚወስድ እንዲመልስ አትጠይቀው።

³⁰ Give to everyone who asks you, and don’t ask him who takes away your goods to give them back again.

³¹ሰዎችም ሊያደርጉላችሁ እንደምትወዱ እናንተ ደግሞ እንዲሁ አድርጉላቸው።

³¹ “As you would like people to do to you, do exactly so to them.

³²የሚወዱአችሁንማ ብትወዱ፥ ምን ምስጋና አላችሁ? ኃጢአተኞች ደግሞ የሚወዱአቸውን ይወዳሉና።

³² If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.

³³መልካምም ለሚያደርጉላችሁ መልካም ብታደርጉ፥ ምን ምስጋና አላችሁ? ኃጢአተኞች ደግሞ ያን ያደርጋሉና።

³³ If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.

³⁴እንድትወስዱባቸው ተስፋ ለምታደርጉአቸው ብታበድሩ፥ ምን ምስጋና አላችሁ? ኃጢአተኞች ደግሞ በትክክል እንዲቀበሉ ለኃጢአተኞች ያበድራሉ።

³⁴ If you lend to those from whom you hope to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to receive back as much.

³⁵ነገር ግን ጠላቶቻችሁን ውደዱ፤ መልካም አድርጉ፤ ምንም ተስፋ ሳታደርጉም አበድሩ፥ ዋጋችሁም ታላቅ ይሆናል፥ የልዑልም ልጆች ትሆናላችሁ፥ እርሱ ለማያመሰግኑ ለክፉዎችም ቸር ነውና።

³⁵ But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing back; and your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High; for he is kind toward the unthankful and evil.

³⁶አባታችሁ ርኅሩኅ እንደ ሆነ ርኅሩኆች ሁኑ።

³⁶ Therefore be merciful, even as your Father is also merciful.

³⁷አትፍረዱ አይፈረድባችሁምም፤ አትኰንኑ አትኰነኑምም። ይቅር በሉ ይቅርም ትባላላችሁ።

³⁷ Don’t judge, and you won’t be judged. Don’t condemn, and you won’t be condemned. Set free, and you will be set free.

³⁸ስጡ ይሰጣችሁማል፤ በምትሰፍሩበት መስፈሪያ ተመልሶ ይሰፈርላችኋልና፥ የተጨቈነና የተነቀነቀ የተትረፈረፈም መልካም መስፈሪያ በእቅፋችሁ ይሰጣችኋል።

³⁸ “Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will be given to you. literally, into your bosom. For with the same measure you measure it will be measured back to you.”

³⁹ምሳሌም አላቸው። ዕውር ዕውርን ሊመራ ይችላልን? ሁለቱ በጕድጓድ አይወድቁምን?

³⁹He spoke a parable to them. “Can the blind guide the blind? Won’t they both fall into a pit?

⁴⁰ደቀ መዝሙር ከመምህሩ አይበልጥም፤ ፈጽሞ የተማረ ሁሉ ግን እንደ መምህሩ ይሆናል።

⁴⁰ A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone when he is fully trained will be like his teacher.

⁴¹በወንድምህም ዓይን ያለውን ጉድፍ ስለ ምን ታያለህ፥ በራስህ ዓይን ግን ያለውን ምሰሶ ስለ ምን አትመለከትም?

⁴¹ Why do you see the speck of chaff that is in your brother’s eye, but don’t consider the beam that is in your own eye?

⁴²በዓይንህ ያለውን ምሰሶ ራስህ ሳታይ፥ እንዴት ወንድምህን። ወንድሜ ሆይ፥ በዓይንህ ያለውን ጉድፍ ላውጣ ፍቀድልኝ ልትል ትችላለህ? አንተ ግብዝ፥ አስቀድመህ ከዓይንህ ምሰሶውን አውጣ ከዚያም በኋላ በወንድምህ ዓይን ያለውን ጉድፍ ታወጣ ዘንድ አጥርተህ ታያለህ።

⁴² Or how can you tell your brother, ‘Brother, let me remove the speck of chaff that is in your eye,’ when you yourself don’t see the beam that is in your own eye? You hypocrite! First remove the beam from your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck of chaff that is in your brother’s eye.

⁴³ክፉ ፍሬ የሚያደርግ መልካም ዛፍ የለምና፥ እንዲሁም መልካም ፍሬ የሚያደርግ ክፉ ዛፍ የለም።

⁴³ For there is no good tree that brings forth rotten fruit; nor again a rotten tree that brings forth good fruit.

⁴⁴ዛፍ ሁሉ ከፍሬው ይታወቃልና፤ ከእሾህ በለስ አይለቅሙም፥ ከአጣጥ ቍጥቋጦም ወይን አይቈርጡም።

⁴⁴ For each tree is known by its own fruit. For people don’t gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather grapes from a bramble bush.

⁴⁵በልብ ሞልቶ ከተረፈው አፉ ይናገራልና መልካም ሰው ከልብ መልካም መዝገብ መልካሙን ያወጣል፥ ክፉ ሰውም ከልብ ክፉ መዝገብ ክፉውን ያወጣል።

⁴⁵ The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings out that which is good, and the evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings out that which is evil, for out of the abundance of the heart, his mouth speaks.

⁴⁶ስለ ምን። ጌታ ሆይ፥ ጌታ ሆይ፥ ትሉኛላችሁ፥ የምለውንም አታደርጉም?

⁴⁶ “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and don’t do the things which I say?

⁴⁷ወደ እኔ የሚመጣ ሁሉ ቃሌንም ሰምቶ የሚያደርገው፥ ማንን እንዲመስል አሳያችኋለሁ።

⁴⁷ Everyone who comes to me, and hears my words, and does them, I will show you who he is like.

⁴⁸ቤት ሲሠራ አጥልቆ የቆፈረ በዓለት ላይም የመሠረተ ሰውን ይመስላል፤ ጐርፍም በመጣ ጊዜ ወንዙ ያን ቤት ገፋው፥ በዓለት ላይም ስለ ተመሠረተ ሊያናውጠው አልቻለም።

⁴⁸ He is like a man building a house, who dug and went deep, and laid a foundation on the rock. When a flood arose, the stream broke against that house, and could not shake it, because it was founded on the rock.

⁴⁹ሰምቶ የማያደርገው ግን ያለ መሠረት በምድር ላይ ቤቱን የሠራ ሰውን ይመስላል፤ ወንዙም ገፋው ወዲያውም ወደቀ የዚያ ቤት አወዳደቅም ታላቅ ሆነ።

⁴⁹ But he who hears, and doesn’t do, is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream broke, and immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great.”
