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.”
