¹He entered again into the synagogue, and there was a man there who had his hand withered.

¹ደግሞም ወደ ምኵራብ ገባ፥ በዚያም እጁ የሰለለች ሰው ነበር፤

²They watched him, whether he would heal him on the Sabbath day, that they might accuse him.

²ሊከሱትም፥ በሰንበት ይፈውሰው እንደ ሆነ ይጠባበቁት ነበር።

³He said to the man who had his hand withered, “Stand up.”

³እጁ የሰለለችውንም ሰው። ተነሥተህ ወደ መካከል ና አለው።

⁴He said to them, “Is it lawful on the Sabbath day to do good, or to do harm? To save a life, or to kill?” But they were silent.

⁴በሰንበት በጎ ማድረግ ተፈቅዶአልን? ወይስ ክፉ? ነፍስ ማዳን ወይስ መግደል? አላቸው፤ እነርሱም ዝም አሉ።

⁵When he had looked around at them with anger, being grieved at the hardening of their hearts, he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out, and his hand was restored as healthy as the other.

⁵ስለ ልባቸውም ድንዛዜ አዝኖ ዙሪያውን እየተመለከተ በቍጣ አያቸው፥ ሰውየውንም። እጅህን ዘርጋ አለው።

⁶The Pharisees went out, and immediately conspired with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.

⁶ዘረጋትም፥ እጁም ዳነች። ፈሪሳውያንም ወጥተው ወዲያው እንዴት አድርገው እንዲያጠፉት ከሄሮድስ ወገን ጋር ተማከሩበት።

⁷Jesus withdrew to the sea with his disciples, and a great multitude followed him from Galilee, from Judea,

⁷ኢየሱስም ከደቀ መዛሙርቱ ጋር ወደ ባህር ፈቀቅ አለ፤ ከገሊላ የመጡም ብዙ ሰዎች ተከተሉት፤

⁸from Jerusalem, from Idumaea, beyond the Jordan, and those from around Tyre and Sidon. A great multitude, hearing what great things he did, came to him.

⁸እንዴት ትልቅ ነገርም እንዳደረገው ሰምተው ብዙ ሰዎች ከይሁዳ ከኢየሩሳሌምም ከኤዶምያስም ከዮርዳኖስ ማዶም ከጢሮስና ከሲዶና ምድርም ወደ እርሱ መጡ።

⁹He spoke to his disciples that a little boat should stay near him because of the crowd, so that they wouldn’t press on him.

⁹ሰዎቹም እንዳያጋፉት ታንኳን ያቆዩለት ዘንድ ደቀ መዛሙርቱን አዘዛቸው፤

¹⁰For he had healed many, so that as many as had diseases pressed on him that they might touch him.

¹⁰ብዙ ሰዎችን አድኖ ነበርና፥ ስለዚህም ሥቃይ ያለባቸው ሁሉ እንዲዳስሱት ይወድቁበት ነበር።

¹¹The unclean spirits, whenever they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, “You are the Son of God!”

¹¹ርኵሳን መናፍስትም ባዩት ጊዜ በፊቱ ተደፍተው። አንተ የእግዚአብሔር ልጅ ነህ እያሉ ጮኹ።

¹²He sternly warned them that they should not make him known.

¹²እንዳይገልጡትም በጣም አዘዛቸው።

¹³He went up into the mountain, and called to himself those whom he wanted, and they went to him.

¹³ወደ ተራራም ወጣ፥ ራሱም የወደዳቸውን ወደ እርሱ ጠራ፥ ወደ እርሱም ሄዱ።

¹⁴He appointed twelve, that they might be with him, and that he might send them out to preach,

¹⁴ከእርሱም ጋር እንዲኖሩና ለመስበክ እንዲልካቸው፥

¹⁵and to have authority to heal sicknesses and to cast out demons:

¹⁵ድውዮችንም ሊፈውሱ አጋንንትንም ሊያወጡ ሥልጣን ይሆንላቸው ዘንድ አሥራ ሁለት አደረገ፤

¹⁶Simon, to whom he gave the name Peter;

¹⁶ስምዖንንም ጴጥሮስ ብሎ ሰየመው፤

¹⁷James the son of Zebedee; John, the brother of James, and he surnamed them Boanerges, which means, Sons of Thunder;

¹⁷የዘብዴዎስንም ልጅ ያዕቆብን የያዕቆብንም ወንድም ዮሐንስን ቦአኔርጌስ ብሎ ሰየማቸው፥ የነጎድጓድ ልጆች ማለት ነው፤

¹⁸Andrew; Philip; Bartholomew; Matthew; Thomas; James, the son of Alphaeus; Thaddaeus; Simon the Zealot;

¹⁸እንድርያስንም ፊልጶስንም በርተሎሜውስንም ማቴዎስንም ቶማስንም የእልፍዮስን ልጅ ያዕቆብንም ታዴዎስንም ቀነናዊውንም ስምዖንን፥

¹⁹and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him. He came into a house.

¹⁹አሳልፎ የሰጠውንም የአስቆሮቱን ይሁዳን።

²⁰The multitude came together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread.

²⁰ወደ ቤትም መጡ፤ እንጀራም መብላት ስንኳ እስኪሳናቸው ድረስ እንደ ገና ብዙ ሰዎች ተሰበሰቡ።

²¹When his friends heard it, they went out to seize him: for they said, “He is insane.”

²¹ዘመዶቹም ሰምተው። አበደ ብለዋልና ሊይዙት ወጡ።

²²The scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, “He has Beelzebul,” and, “By the prince of the demons he casts out the demons.”

²²ከኢየሩሳሌም የወረዱ ጻፎችም። ብዔል ዜቡል አለበት፤ ደግሞ። በአጋንንት አለቃ አጋንንትን ያወጣል ብለው ተናገሩ።

²³He summoned them, and said to them in parables, “How can Satan cast out Satan?

²³እነርሱንም ወደ እርሱ ጠርቶ በምሳሌ አላቸው። ሰይጣን ሰይጣንን ሊያወጣው እንዴት ይችላል?

²⁴ If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.

²⁴መንግሥትም እርስ በርስዋ ከተለያየች ያች መንግሥት ልትቆም አትችልም፤

²⁵ If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.

²⁵ቤትም እርስ በርሱ ከተለያየ ያ ቤት ሊቆም አይችልም።

²⁶ If Satan has risen up against himself, and is divided, he can’t stand, but has an end.

²⁶ሰይጣንም ራሱን ተቃውሞ ከተለያየ፥ መጨረሻ ይሆንበታል እንጂ ሊቆም አይችልም።

²⁷ But no one can enter into the house of the strong man to plunder, unless he first binds the strong man; and then he will plunder his house.

²⁷ነገር ግን አስቀድሞ ኃይለኛውን ሳያስር ወደ ኃይለኛው ቤት ገብቶ ዕቃውን ሊበዘብዝ የሚችል የለም፥ ከዚያም ወዲያ ቤቱን ይበዘብዛል።

²⁸ Most certainly I tell you, all sins of the descendants of man will be forgiven, including their blasphemies with which they may blaspheme;

²⁸እውነት እላችኋለሁ፥ ለሰው ልጆች ኃጢአት ሁሉ የሚሳደቡትም ስድብ ሁሉ ይሰረይላቸዋል፤

²⁹ but whoever may blaspheme against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin”

²⁹በመንፈስ ቅዱስ ላይ የሚሳደብ ሁሉ ግን የዘላለም ኃጢአት ዕዳ ይሆንበታል እንጂ ለዘላለም አይሰረይለትም።

³⁰—because they said, “He has an unclean spirit.”

³⁰ርኵስ መንፈስ አለበት ይሉ ነበርና።

³¹His mother and his brothers came, and standing outside, they sent to him, calling him.

³¹እናቱና ወንድሞቹም መጡ በውጭም ቆመው ወደ እርሱ ልከው አስጠሩት።

³²A multitude was sitting around him, and they told him, “Behold, your mother, your brothers, and your sisters TR omits “your sisters” are outside looking for you.”

³²ብዙ ሰዎችም በዙሪያው ተቀምጠው ነበሩና። እነሆ፥ እናትህ ወንድሞችህም በውጭ ቆመው ይፈልጉሃል አሉት።

³³He answered them, “Who are my mother and my brothers?”

³³መልሶም። እናቴ ማን ናት? ወንድሞቼስ እነ ማን ናቸው? አላቸው።

³⁴Looking around at those who sat around him, he said, “Behold, my mother and my brothers!

³⁴በዙሪያው ተቀምጠው ወደ ነበሩትም ተመለከተና። እነሆ እናቴ ወንድሞቼም።

³⁵ For whoever does the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.”

³⁵የእግዚአብሔርን ፈቃድ የሚያደርግ ሁሉ፥ እርሱ ወንድሜ ነው እኅቴም እናቴም አለ።
