¹He entered into a boat, and crossed over, and came into his own city.

¹በታንኳም ገብቶ ተሻገረና ወደ ገዛ ከተማው መጣ።

²Behold, they brought to him a man who was paralyzed, lying on a bed. Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, “Son, cheer up! Your sins are forgiven you.”

²እነሆም፥ በአልጋ የተኛ ሽባ ወደ እርሱ አመጡ። ኢየሱስም እምነታቸውን አይቶ ሽባውን። አንተ ልጅ፥ አይዞህ፥ ኃጢአትህ ተሰረየችልህ አለው።

³Behold, some of the scribes said to themselves, “This man blasphemes.”

³እነሆም፥ ከጻፎቹ አንዳንዱ በልባቸው። ይህስ ይሳደባል አሉ።

⁴Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, “Why do you think evil in your hearts?

⁴ኢየሱስም አሳባቸውን አውቆ እንዲህ አለ። ስለ ምን በልባችሁ ክፉ ታስባላችሁ?

⁵ For which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven;’ or to say, ‘Get up, and walk?’

⁵ኃጢአትህ ተሰረየችልህ ከማለት ወይስ። ተነሣና ሂድ ከማለት ማናቸው ይቀላል?

⁶ But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins...” (then he said to the paralytic), “Get up, and take up your mat, and go up to your house.”

⁶ነገር ግን በምድር ላይ ኃጢአትን ያስተሰርይ ዘንድ ለሰው ልጅ ሥልጣን እንዳለው እንድታውቁ፥ በዚያን ጊዜ ሽባውን። ተነሣ፤ አልጋህን ተሸከምና ወደ ቤትህ ሂድ አለው።

⁷He arose and departed to his house.

⁷ተነሥቶም ወደ ቤቱ ሄደ።

⁸But when the multitudes saw it, they marveled and glorified God, who had given such authority to men.

⁸ሕዝቡም አይተው ተደነቁ፥ ለሰውም እንዲህ ያለ ሥልጣን የሰጠ እግዚአብሔርን አከበሩ።

⁹As Jesus passed by from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax collection office. He said to him, “Follow me.” He got up and followed him.

⁹ኢየሱስም ከዚያ አልፎ በመቅረጫው ተቀምጦ የነበረ ማቴዎስ የሚባል አንድ ሰው አየና። ተከተለኝ አለው። ተነሥቶም ተከተለው።

¹⁰It happened as he sat in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with Jesus and his disciples.

¹⁰በቤቱም በማዕድ ተቀምጦ ሳለ፥ እነሆ፥ ብዙ ቀራጮችና ኃጢአተኞች መጥተው ከኢየሱስና ከደቀ መዛሙርቱ ጋር አብረው ተቀመጡ።

¹¹When the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”

¹¹ፈሪሳውያንም አይተው ደቀ መዛሙርቱን። መምህራችሁ ከቀራጮችና ከኃጢአተኞች ጋር አብሮ ስለ ምን ይበላል? አሉአቸው።

¹²When Jesus heard it, he said to them, “Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick do.

¹²ኢየሱስም ሰምቶ። ሕመምተኞች እንጂ ባለ ጤናዎች ባለ መድኃኒት አያስፈልጋቸውም፤

¹³ But you go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ Hosea 6:6 for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. NU omits “to repentance”. ”

¹³ነገር ግን ሄዳችሁ። ምሕረትን እወዳለሁ መሥዋዕትንም አይደለም ያለው ምን እንደ ሆነ ተማሩ፤ ኃጢአተኞችን ወደ ንስሐ እንጂ ጻድቃንን ልጠራ አልመጣሁምና አላቸው።

¹⁴Then John’s disciples came to him, saying, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but your disciples don’t fast?”

¹⁴በዚያን ጊዜ የዮሐንስ ደቀ መዛሙርት ወደ እርሱ ቀርበው። እኛና ፈሪሳውያን፥ ብዙ ጊዜ የምንጦመው፥ ደቀ መዛሙርትህ ግን የማይጦሙት ስለ ምንድር ነው? አሉት።

¹⁵Jesus said to them, “Can the friends of the bridegroom mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast.

¹⁵ኢየሱስም እንዲህ አላቸው። ሚዜዎች ሙሽራው ከእነርሱ ጋር ሳለ ሊያዝኑ ይችላሉን? ነገር ግን ሙሽራው ከእነርሱ የሚወሰድበት ወራት ይመጣል፥ በዚያ ጊዜም ይጦማሉ።

¹⁶ No one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; for the patch would tear away from the garment, and a worse hole is made.

¹⁶በአረጀ ልብስ አዲስ እራፊ የሚያኖር የለም፤ መጣፊያው ልብሱን ይቦጭቀዋልና፥ መቀደዱም የባሰ ይሆናል።

¹⁷ Neither do people put new wine into old wineskins, or else the skins would burst, and the wine be spilled, and the skins ruined. No, they put new wine into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved.”

¹⁷በአረጀ አቁማዳ አዲስ የወይን ጠጅ የሚያኖር የለም፤ ቢደረግ ግን፥ አቁማዳው ይፈነዳል፥ የወይን ጠጁም ይፈሳል አቁማዳውም ይጠፋል፤ ነገር ግን አዲሱን የወይን ጠጅ በአዲስ አቁማዳ ያኖረዋል፥ ሁለቱም ይጠባበቃሉ።

¹⁸While he told these things to them, behold, a ruler came and worshiped him, saying, “My daughter has just died, but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live.”

¹⁸ይህንም ሲነግራቸው፥ አንድ መኰንን መጥቶ። ልጄ አሁን ሞተች፤ ነገር ግን መጥተህ እጅህን ጫንባት፥ በሕይወትም ትኖራለች እያለ ሰገደለት።

¹⁹Jesus got up and followed him, as did his disciples.

¹⁹ኢየሱስም ተነሥቶ ከደቀ መዛሙርቱ ጋር ተከተለው።

²⁰Behold, a woman who had an issue of blood for twelve years came behind him, and touched the fringe or, tassel of his garment;

²⁰እነሆም፥ ከአሥራ ሁለት ዓመት ጀምሮ ደም የሚፈስሳት ሴት በኋላው ቀርባ የልብሱን ጫፍ ዳሰሰች፤

²¹for she said within herself, “If I just touch his garment, I will be made well.”

²¹በልብዋ። ልብሱን ብቻ የዳሰስሁ እንደ ሆነ፥ እድናለሁ ትል ነበረችና።

²²But Jesus, turning around and seeing her, said, “Daughter, cheer up! Your faith has made you well.” And the woman was made well from that hour.

²²ኢየሱስም ዘወር ብሎ አያትና። ልጄ ሆይ፥ አይዞሽ፤ እምነትሽ አድኖሻል አላት። ሴቲቱም ከዚያች ሰዓት ጀምራ ዳነች።

²³When Jesus came into the ruler’s house, and saw the flute players, and the crowd in noisy disorder,

²³ኢየሱስም ወደ መኰንኑ ቤት በደረሰ ጊዜ፥ እምቢልተኞችንና የሚንጫጫውን ሕዝብ አይቶ።

²⁴he said to them, “Make room, because the girl isn’t dead, but sleeping.” They were ridiculing him.

²⁴ብላቴናይቱ ተኝታለች እንጂ አልሞተችምና ፈቀቅ በሉ አላቸው። በጣምም ሳቁበት።

²⁵But when the crowd was put out, he entered in, took her by the hand, and the girl arose.

²⁵ሕዝቡን ግን ከአስወጡ በኋላ ገብቶ እጅዋን ያዛት፥ ብላቴናይቱም ተነሣች።

²⁶The report of this went out into all that land.

²⁶ያም ዝና ወደዚያ አገር ሁሉ ወጣ።

²⁷As Jesus passed by from there, two blind men followed him, calling out and saying, “Have mercy on us, son of David!”

²⁷ኢየሱስም ከዚያ ሲያልፍ ሁለት ዕውሮች። የዳዊት ልጅ ሆይ፥ ማረን ብለው እየጮሁ ተከተሉት።

²⁸When he had come into the house, the blind men came to him. Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They told him, “Yes, Lord.”

²⁸ወደ ቤትም በገባ ጊዜ ዕውሮቹ ወደ እርሱ ቀረቡ፥ ኢየሱስም። ይህን ማድረግ እንድችል ታምናላችሁን? አላቸው። አዎን፥ ጌታ ሆይ አሉት።

²⁹Then he touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith be it done to you.”

²⁹በዚያን ጊዜ። እንደ እምነታችሁ ይሁንላችሁ ብሎ ዓይኖቻቸውን ዳሰሰ።

³⁰Their eyes were opened. Jesus strictly commanded them, saying, “See that no one knows about this.”

³⁰ዓይኖቻቸውም ተከፈቱ።

³¹But they went out and spread abroad his fame in all that land.

³¹ኢየሱስም። ማንም እንዳያውቅ ተጠንቀቁ ብሎ በብርቱ አዘዛቸው። እነርሱ ግን ወጥተው በዚያ አገር ሁሉ ስለ እርሱ አወሩ።

³²As they went out, behold, a mute man who was demon possessed was brought to him.

³²እነርሱም ሲወጡ እነሆ፥ ጋኔን ያደረበትን ዲዳ ሰው ወደ እርሱ አመጡ።

³³When the demon was cast out, the mute man spoke. The multitudes marveled, saying, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel!”

³³ጋኔኑንም ካወጣው በኋላ ዲዳው ተናገረ። ሕዝቡም። እንዲህ ያለ በእስራኤል ዘንድ ከቶ አልታየም እያሉ ተደነቁ።

³⁴But the Pharisees said, “By the prince of the demons, he casts out demons.”

³⁴ፈሪሳውያን ግን። በአጋንንት አለቃ አጋንንትን ያወጣል አሉ።

³⁵Jesus went about all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the Good News of the Kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness among the people.

³⁵ኢየሱስም በምኩራቦቻቸው እያስተማረ፥ የመንግሥትንም ወንጌል እየሰበከ፥ በሕዝብም ያለውን ደዌና ሕማም ሁሉ እየፈወሰ፥ በከተማዎችና በመንደሮች ሁሉ ይዞር ነበር።

³⁶But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion for them, because they were harassed TR reads “weary” instead of “harassed” and scattered, like sheep without a shepherd.

³⁶ብዙ ሕዝብም ባየ ጊዜ፥ እረኛ እንደ ሌላቸው በጎች ተጨንቀው ተጥለውም ነበርና አዘነላቸው።

³⁷Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest indeed is plentiful, but the laborers are few.

³⁷በዚያን ጊዜ ደቀ መዛሙርቱን። መከሩስ ብዙ ነው፥ ሠራተኞች ግን ጥቂቶች ናቸው፤

³⁸ Pray therefore that the Lord of the harvest will send out laborers into his harvest.”

³⁸እንግዲህ የመከሩን ጌታ ወደ መከሩ ሠራተኞች እንዲልክ ለምኑት አላቸው።
