¹He said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, there are some standing here who will in no way taste death until they see the Kingdom of God come with power.”

¹እውነት እላችኋለሁ፥ በዚህ ከቆሙት ሰዎች የእግዚአብሔር መንግሥት በኃይል ስትመጣ እስኪያዩ ድረስ፥ ሞትን የማይቀምሱ አንዳንዶች አሉ አላቸው።

²After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John, and brought them up onto a high mountain privately by themselves, and he was changed into another form in front of them.

²ከስድስት ቀንም በኋላ ኢየሱስ ጴጥሮስንና ያዕቆብን ዮሐንስንም ይዞ ወደ ረጅም ተራራ ብቻቸውን አወጣቸው። በፊታቸውም ተለወጠ፥ ልብሱም አንጸባረቀ፤

³His clothing became glistening, exceedingly white, like snow, such as no launderer on earth can whiten them.

³አጣቢም በምድር ላይ እንደዚያ ሊያነጣው እስከማይችል በጣም ነጭ ሆነ።

⁴Elijah and Moses appeared to them, and they were talking with Jesus.

⁴ኤልያስና ሙሴም ታዩአቸው፥ ከኢየሱስም ጋር ይነጋገሩ ነበር።

⁵Peter answered Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let’s make three tents: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”

⁵ጴጥሮስም መልሶ ኢየሱስን። መምህር ሆይ፥ በዚህ መሆን ለእኛ መልካም ነውና አንድ ለአንተ አንድም ለሙሴ አንድም ለኤልያስ ሦስት ዳሶች እንሥራ አለው።

⁶For he didn’t know what to say, for they were very afraid.

⁶እጅግ ስለ ፈሩ የሚለውን አያውቅም ነበር።

⁷A cloud came, overshadowing them, and a voice came out of the cloud, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.”

⁷ደመናም መጥቶ ጋረዳቸው፥ ከደመናውም። የምወደው ልጄ ይህ ነው፥ እርሱን ስሙት የሚል ድምፅ መጣ።

⁸Suddenly looking around, they saw no one with them any more, except Jesus only.

⁸ድንገትም ዞረው ሲመለከቱ ከእነርሱ ጋር ከኢየሱስ ብቻ በቀር ማንንም አላዩም።

⁹As they were coming down from the mountain, he commanded them that they should tell no one what things they had seen, until after the Son of Man had risen from the dead.

⁹ከተራራውም ሲወርዱ የሰው ልጅ ከሙታን እስኪነሣ ድረስ ያዩትን ለማንም እንዳይነግሩ አዘዛቸው።

¹⁰They kept this saying to themselves, questioning what the “rising from the dead” meant.

¹⁰ቃሉንም ይዘው። ከሙታን መነሣት ምንድር ነው? እያሉ እርስ በርሳቸው ተጠያየቁ።

¹¹They asked him, saying, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”

¹¹እነርሱም። ኤልያስ አስቀድሞ ሊመጣ እንዲገባው ጻፎች ስለ ምን ይላሉ? ብለው ጠየቁት።

¹²He said to them, “Elijah indeed comes first, and restores all things. How is it written about the Son of Man, that he should suffer many things and be despised?

¹²እርሱም መልሶ። ኤልያስማ አስቀድሞ ይመጣል ሁሉንም ያቀናናል፤ ስለ ሰው ልጅም እንዴት ተብሎ ተጽፎአል? ብዙ መከራ እንዲቀበል እንዲናቅም።

¹³ But I tell you that Elijah has come, and they have also done to him whatever they wanted to, even as it is written about him.”

¹³ነገር ግን እላችኋለሁ፥ ኤልያስ ደግሞ መጥቶአል፥ ስለ እርሱም እንደ ተጸፈ የወደዱትን ሁሉ አደረጉበት አላቸው።

¹⁴Coming to the disciples, he saw a great multitude around them, and scribes questioning them.

¹⁴ወደ ደቀ መዛሙርቱም በመጣ ጊዜ ብዙ ሕዝብ ሲከብቡአቸው ጻፎችም ከእነርሱ ጋር ሲከራከሩ አየ።

¹⁵Immediately all the multitude, when they saw him, were greatly amazed, and running to him greeted him.

¹⁵ወዲያውም ሕዝቡ ሁሉ ባዩት ጊዜ ደነገጡ፥ ወደ እርሱም ሮጠው እጅ ነሡት።

¹⁶He asked the scribes, “What are you asking them?”

¹⁶ጻፎችንም። ስለ ምን ከእነርሱ ጋር ትከራከራላችሁ? ብሎ ጠየቃቸው።

¹⁷One of the multitude answered, “Teacher, I brought to you my son, who has a mute spirit;

¹⁷ከሕዝቡ አንዱ መልሶ። መምህር ሆይ፥ ዲዳ መንፈስ ያደረበትን ልጄን ወደ አንተ አምጥቼአለሁ፤

¹⁸and wherever it seizes him, it throws him down, and he foams at the mouth, and grinds his teeth, and wastes away. I asked your disciples to cast it out, and they weren’t able.”

¹⁸በያዘውም ስፍራ ሁሉ ይጥለዋል፤ አረፋም ይደፍቃል፥ ጥርሱንም ያፋጫል ይደርቃልም፤ እንዲያወጡለትም ለደቀ መዛሙርትህ ነገርኋቸው፥ አልቻሉምም አለው።

¹⁹He answered him, “Unbelieving generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him to me.”

¹⁹እርሱም መልሶ። የማታምን ትውልድ ሆይ፥ እስከመቼ ከእናንተ ጋር እኖራለሁ? እስከ መቼስ እታገሣችኋለሁ? ወደ እኔ አምጡት አላቸው።

²⁰They brought him to him, and when he saw him, immediately the spirit convulsed him, and he fell on the ground, wallowing and foaming at the mouth.

²⁰ወደ እርሱም አመጡት። እርሱንም ባየ ጊዜ ያ መንፈስ ወዲያው አንፈራገጠው፤ ወደ ምድርም ወድቆ አረፋ እየደፈቀ ተንፈራፈረ።

²¹He asked his father, “How long has it been since this has come to him?” He said, “From childhood.

²¹አባቱንም። ይህ ከያዘው ስንት ዘመን ነው? ብሎ ጠየቀው። እርሱም። ከሕፃንነቱ ጀምሮ ነው፤

²²Often it has cast him both into the fire and into the water, to destroy him. But if you can do anything, have compassion on us, and help us.”

²²ብዙ ጊዜም ሊያጠፋው ወደ እሳትም ወደ ውኃም ጣለው፤ ቢቻልህ ግን እዘንልን እርዳንም አለው።

²³Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”

²³ኢየሱስም። ቢቻልህ ትላለህ፤ ለሚያምን ሁሉ ይቻላል አለው።

²⁴Immediately the father of the child cried out with tears, “I believe. Help my unbelief!”

²⁴ወዲያውም የብላቴናው አባት ጮኾ። አምናለሁ፤ አለማመኔን እርዳው አለ።

²⁵When Jesus saw that a multitude came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him, “You mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him, and never enter him again!”

²⁵ኢየሱስም ሕዝቡ እንደ ገና ሲራወጥ አይቶ ርኵሱን መንፈስ ገሠጸና። አንተ ዲዳ ደንቆሮም መንፈስ፥ እኔ አዝሃለሁ፥ ከእርሱ ውጣ እንግዲህም አትግባበት አለው።

²⁶Having cried out, and convulsed greatly, it came out of him. The boy became like one dead; so much that most of them said, “He is dead.”

²⁶ጮኾም እጅግም አንፈራግጦት ወጣ፤ ብዙዎችም። ሞተ እስኪሉ ድረስ እንደ ሙት ሆነ።

²⁷But Jesus took him by the hand, and raised him up; and he arose.

²⁷ኢየሱስ ግን እጁን ይዞ አስነሣው ቆመም።

²⁸When he had come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, “Why couldn’t we cast it out?”

²⁸ወደ ቤትም ከገባ በኋላ ደቀ መዛሙርቱ። እኛ ልናወጣው ያልቻልን ስለ ምንድር ነው? ብለው ብቻውን ጠየቁት።

²⁹He said to them, “This kind can come out by nothing, except by prayer and fasting.”

²⁹ይህ ወገን በጸሎትና በጦም ካልሆነ በምንም ሊወጣ አይችልም አላቸው።

³⁰They went out from there, and passed through Galilee. He didn’t want anyone to know it.

³⁰ከዚያም ወጥተው በገሊላ በኩል አለፉ፤ ደቀ መዛሙርቱንም ያስተምር ስለ ነበር ማንም ያውቅ ዘንድ አልወደደም፤ ለእነርሱም። የሰው ልጅ በሰዎች እጅ አልፎ ይሰጣል፥ ይገድሉትማል፥ ተገድሎም በሦስተኛው ቀን ይነሣል ይላቸው ነበር።

³¹For he was teaching his disciples, and said to them, “The Son of Man is being handed over to the hands of men, and they will kill him; and when he is killed, on the third day he will rise again.”

³²እነርሱም ነገሩን አላስተዋሉም፥ እንዳይጠይቁትም ፈሩ።

³²But they didn’t understand the saying, and were afraid to ask him.

³³ወደ ቅፍርናሆምም መጣ። በቤትም ሆኖ። በመንገድ እርስ በርሳችሁ ምን ተነጋገራችሁ? ብሎ ጠየቃቸው።

³³He came to Capernaum, and when he was in the house he asked them, “What were you arguing among yourselves on the way?”

³⁴እነርሱ ግን በመንገድ። ከሁሉ የሚበልጥ ማን ይሆን? ተባብለው ነበርና ዝም አሉ።

³⁴But they were silent, for they had disputed one with another on the way about who was the greatest.

³⁵ተቀምጦም አሥራ ሁለቱን ጠርቶ። ሰው ፊተኛ ሊሆን ቢወድ ከሁሉ በኋላ የሁሉም አገልጋይ ይሁን አላቸው።

³⁵He sat down, and called the twelve; and he said to them, “If any man wants to be first, he shall be last of all, and servant of all.”

³⁶ሕፃንም ይዞ በመካከላቸው አቆመው አቅፎም።

³⁶He took a little child, and set him in their midst. Taking him in his arms, he said to them,

³⁷እንደዚህ ካሉ ሕፃናት አንዱን በስሜ የሚቀበል ሁሉ እኔን ይቀበላል፤ የሚቀበለኝም ሁሉ የላከኝን እንጂ እኔን አይቀበልም አላቸው።

³⁷ “Whoever receives one such little child in my name, receives me, and whoever receives me, doesn’t receive me, but him who sent me.”

³⁸ዮሐንስ መልሶ። መምህር ሆይ፥ አንድ ሰው በስምህ አጋንንትን ሲያወጣ አየነው፥

³⁸John said to him, “Teacher, we saw someone who doesn’t follow us casting out demons in your name; and we forbade him, because he doesn’t follow us.”

³⁹ስለማይከተለንም ከለከልነው አለው። ኢየሱስ ግን አለ። በስሜ ተአምር ሠርቶ በቶሎ በእኔ ላይ ክፉ መናገር የሚችል ማንም የለምና አትከልክሉት፤

³⁹But Jesus said, “Don’t forbid him, for there is no one who will do a mighty work in my name, and be able quickly to speak evil of me.

⁴⁰የማይቃወመን እርሱ ከእኛ ጋር ነውና።

⁴⁰ For whoever is not against us is on our side.

⁴¹የክርስቶስ ስለ ሆናችሁ በስሜ ጽዋ ውኃ የሚያጠጣችሁ ሁሉ፥ ዋጋው እንዳይጠፋበት እውነት እላችኋለሁ።

⁴¹ For whoever will give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because you are Christ’s, most certainly I tell you, he will in no way lose his reward.

⁴²በእኔም ከሚያምኑት ከእነዚህ ከታናናሾቹ አንዱን የሚያሰናክል ሁሉ ትልቅ የወፍጮ ድንጋይ በአንገቱ ታስሮ ወደ ባሕር ቢጣል ይሻለው ነበር።

⁴² Whoever will cause one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him if he were thrown into the sea with a millstone hung around his neck.

⁴³እጅህ ብታሰናክልህ ቍረጣት፤ ሁለት እጅ ኖሮህ ትላቸው ወደማይሞትበት እሳቱም ወደማይጠፋበት ወደ ገሃነም ወደማይጠፋ እሳት ከመሄድ ጕንድሽ ሆነህ ወደ ሕይወት መግባት ይሻላል።

⁴³ If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having your two hands to go into Gehenna, or, Hell into the unquenchable fire,

⁴⁵እግርህ ብታሰናክልህ ቍረጣት፤ ሁለት እግር ኖሮህ ትላቸው ወደማይሞትበት እሳቱም ወደማይጠፋበት ወደ ገሃነም ወደማይጠፋ እሳት ከመጣል አንካሳ ሆነህ ወደ ሕይወት መግባት ይሻልሃል።

⁴⁴ ‘where their worm doesn’t die, and the fire is not quenched.’

⁴⁷ዓይንህ ብታሰናክልህ አውጣት፤ ሁለት ዓይን ኖሮህ ትላቸው ወደማይሞትበት እሳቱም ወደማይጠፋበት ወደ ገሃነመ እሳት ከመጣል አንዲት ዓይን ኖራህ ወደ እግዚአብሔር መንግሥት መግባት ይሻልሃል።

⁴⁵ If your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life lame, rather than having your two feet to be cast into Gehenna, or, Hell into the fire that will never be quenched—

⁴⁹ሰው ሁሉ በእሳት ይቀመማልና፥ መሥዋዕትም ሁሉ በጨው ይቀመማል።

⁴⁶ ‘where their worm doesn’t die, and the fire is not quenched.’

⁵⁰ጨው መልካም ነው፤ ጨው ግን አልጫ ቢሆን በምን ታጣፍጡታላችሁ? በነፍሳችሁ ጨው ይኑርባችሁ፥ እርስ በርሳችሁም ተስማሙ።

⁴⁷ If your eye causes you to stumble, cast it out. It is better for you to enter into the Kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the Gehenna or, Hell of fire,

⁴⁸ ‘where their worm doesn’t die, and the fire is not quenched.’ Isaiah 66:24

⁴⁹ For everyone will be salted with fire, and every sacrifice will be seasoned with salt.

⁵⁰ Salt is good, but if the salt has lost its saltiness, with what will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”
