| Vers | Amharic NT | English: King James Version |
| 1 | ወደ ኢየሩሳሌምም ቀርበው ወደ ደብረ ዘይት ወደ ቤተ ፋጌ ሲደርሱ፥ ያንጊዜ ኢየሱስ ከደቀ መዛሙርቱ ሁለት ላከ፥ | And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples, |
| 2 | እንዲህም አላቸው። በፊታችሁ ወዳለችው መንደር ሂዱ፥ በዚያን ጊዜም የታሰረችን አህያ ውርንጫም ከእርስዋ ጋር ታገኛላችሁ፤ ፈትታችሁ አምጡልኝ። | Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me. |
| 3 | ማንም አንዳች ቢላችሁ። ለጌታ ያስፈልጉታል በሉ፤ ወዲያውም ይሰዳቸዋል። | And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them. |
| 4 | ለጽዮን ልጅ። እነሆ፥ ንጉሥሽ የዋህ ሆኖ በአህያ ላይና በአህያይቱ ግልገል በውርንጫይቱ ላይ ተቀምጦ ወደ አንቺ ይመጣል በሉአት ተብሎ በነቢይ የተነገረው ይፈጸም ዘንድ ይህ ሆነ። | All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, |
| 6 | ደቀ መዛሙርቱም ሄደው ኢየሱስ እንዳዘዛቸው አደረጉ፥ | And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them, |
| 7 | አህያይቱንና ውርንጫዋንም አመጡለት፥ ልብሳቸውንም በእነርሱ ላይ ጫኑ፥ ተቀመጠባቸውም። | And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon. |
| 8 | ከሕዝቡም እጅግ ብዙዎች ልብሳቸውን በመንገድ ላይ አነጠፉ፥ ሌሎችም ከዛፍ ጫፍ ጫፉን እየቈረጡ በመንገድ ላይ ያነጥፉ ነበር። | And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way. |
| 9 | የሚቀድሙትም ሕዝብ የሚከተሉትም። ሆሣዕና ለዳዊት ልጅ በጌታ ስም የሚመጣ የተባረከ ነው፤ ሆሣዕና በአርያም እያሉ ይጮኹ ነበር። | And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest. |
| 10 | ወደ ኢየሩሳሌምም በገባ ጊዜ መላው ከተማ። ይህ ማን ነው? ብሎ ተናወጠ። | And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this? |
| 11 | ሕዝቡም። ይህ ከገሊላ ናዝሬት የመጣ ነቢዩ ኢየሱስ ነው አሉ። | And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee. |
| 12 | ኢየሱስም ወደ መቅደስ ገባና በመቅደስ የሚሸጡትንና የሚገዙትን ሁሉ አወጣ፥ የገንዘብ ለዋጮችንም ገበታዎች የርግብ ሻጮችንም ወንበሮች ገለበጠና። | And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves, |
| 13 | ቤቴ የጸሎት ቤት ትባላለች ተብሎ ተጽፎአል፥ እናንተ ግን የወንበዶች ዋሻ አደረጋችኋት አላቸው። | And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves. |
| 14 | በመቅደስም ዕውሮችና አንካሶች ወደ እርሱ ቀረቡና ፈወሳቸው። | And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them. |
| 15 | ነገር ግን የካህናት አለቆችና ጻፎች ያደረገውን ድንቃ ድንቅ በመቅደስም። ሆሣዕና ለዳዊት ልጅ እያሉ የሚጮኹትን ልጆች ባዩ ጊዜ፥ ተቈጥተው። | And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David; they were sore displeased, |
| 16 | እነዚህ የሚሉትን አትሰማምን? አሉት። ኢየሱስም። እሰማለሁ፤ ከሕፃናትና ከሚጠቡት አፍ ምስጋናን ለራስህ አዘጋጀህ የሚለውን ቃል ከቶ አላነበባችሁምን? አላቸው። | And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise? |
| 17 | ትቶአቸውም ከከተማ ወደ ቢታንያ ወጣ በዚያም አደረ። | And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany; and he lodged there. |
| 18 | በማለዳም ወደ ከተማ ሲመለስ ተራበ። | Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered. |
| 19 | በመንገድም አጠገብ በለስ አይቶ ወደ እርስዋ መጣ፤ ከቅጠልም ብቻ በቀር ምንም አላገኘባትምና። ለዘላለሙ ፍሬ አይገኝብሽ አላት። በለሲቱም ያንጊዜውን ደረቀች። | And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away. |
| 20 | ደቀ መዛሙርቱም ይህን አይተው። በለሲቱ ያንጊዜውን እንዴት ደረቀች? ብለው ተደነቁ። | And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away! |
| 21 | ኢየሱስም መልሶ። እውነት እላችኋለሁ፥ እምነት ቢኖራችሁ ባትጠራጠሩም፥ በበለሲቱ እንደ ሆነባት ብቻ አታደርጉም፤ ነገር ግን ይህን ተራራ እንኳ። ተነቅለህ ወደ ባሕር ተወርወር ብትሉት ይሆናል፤ | Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the s |
| 22 | አምናችሁም በጸሎት የምትለምኑትን ሁሉ ትቀበላላችሁ አላቸው። | And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. |
| 23 | ወደ መቅደስም ገብቶ ሲያስተምር የካህናት አለቆችና የሕዝብ ሽማግሎች ወደ እርሱ ቀረቡና። በምን ሥልጣን እነዚህን ታደርጋለህ? ይህንስ ሥልጣን ማን ሰጠህ? አሉት። | And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority? |
| 24 | ኢየሱስም መልሶ። እኔ ደግሞ አንዲት ነገር እጠይቃችኋለሁ፤ እናንተም ያችን ብትነግሩኝ እኔ ደግሞ እነዚህን በምን ሥልጣን እንዳደርግ እነግራችኋለሁ፤ | And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one thing, which if ye tell me, I in like wise will tell you by what authority I do these things. |
| 25 | የዮሐንስ ጥምቀት ከወዴት ነበረች? ከሰማይን ወይስ ከሰው? አላቸው። እነርሱም እርስ በርሳቸው ሲነጋገሩ። ከሰማይ ብንል። እንኪያስ ስለ ምን አላመናችሁበትም? ይለናል፤ | The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or of men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say unto us, Why did ye not then believe him? |
| 26 | ከሰው ግን ብንል፥ ዮሐንስን ሁሉም እንደ ነቢይ ያዩታልና ሕዝቡን እንፈራለን አሉ። | But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for all hold John as a prophet. |
| 27 | ለኢየሱስም መልሰው። አናውቅም አሉት። እርሱም ደግሞ። እኔም በምን ሥልጣን እነዚህን እንዳደርግ አልነግራችሁም አላቸው። | And they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell. And he said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things. |
| 28 | ነገር ግን ምን ይመስላችኋል? አንድ ሰው ሁለት ልጆች ነበሩት፤ ወደ አንደኛው ቀርቦ። ልጄ ሆይ፥ ዛሬ ሂድና በወይኔ አትክልት ሥራ አለው። | But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard. |
| 29 | እርሱም መልሶ። አልወድም አለ፤ ኋላ ግን ተጸጸተና ሄደ። | He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went. |
| 30 | ወደ ሁለተኛውም ቀርቦ እንዲሁ አለው እርሱም መልሶ። እሺ ጌታዬ አለ፤ ነገር ግን አልሄደም። | And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not. |
| 31 | ከሁለቱ የአባቱን ፈቃድ ያደረገ ማን ነው? ፊተኛው አሉት። ኢየሱስ እንዲህ አላቸው። እውነት እላችኋለሁ፥ ቀራጮችና ጋለሞቶች ወደ እግዚአብሔር መንግሥት በመግባት ይቀድሙአችኋል። | Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you. |
| 32 | ዮሐንስ በጽድቅ መንገድ መጥቶላችሁ ነበርና፥ አላመናችሁበትም፤ ቀራጮችና ጋለሞቶች ግን አመኑበት፤ እናንተም ይህን አይታችሁ ታምኑበት ዘንድ በኋላ ንስሐ አልገባችሁም። | For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him. |
| 33 | ሌላ ምሳሌ ስሙ። የወይን አትክልት የተከለ ባለቤት ሰው ነበረ፤ ቅጥርም ቀጠረለት፥ መጥመቂያም ማሰለት፥ ግንብም ሠራና ለገበሬዎች አከራይቶ ወደ ሌላ አገር ሄደ። | Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country: |
| 34 | የሚያፈራበትም ጊዜ ሲቀርብ፥ ፍሬውን ሊቀበሉ ባሮቹን ወደ ገበሬዎች ላከ። | And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it. |
| 35 | ገበሬዎቹም ባሮቹን ይዘው አንዱን ደበደቡት አንዱንም ገደሉት ሌላውንም ወገሩት። | And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another. |
| 36 | ደግሞ ከፊተኞች የሚበዙ ሌሎች ባሮችን ላከ፥ እንዲሁም አደረጉባቸው። | Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise. |
| 37 | በኋላ ግን። ልጄንስ ያፍሩታል ብሎ ልጁን ላከባቸው። | But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son. |
| 38 | ገበሬዎቹ ግን ልጁን ባዩ ጊዜ እርስ በርሳቸው። ወራሹ ይህ ነው፤ ኑ፥ እንግደለውና ርስቱን እናግኝ ተባባሉ። | But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance. |
| 39 | ይዘውም ከወይኑ አትክልት አወጡና ገደሉት። | And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him. |
| 40 | እንግዲህ የወይኑ አትክልት ጌታ በሚመጣ ጊዜ በእነዚህ ገበሬዎች ምን ያደርግባቸዋል? | When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen? |
| 41 | እነርሱም። ክፉዎችን በክፉ ያጠፋቸዋል፥ የወይኑንም አትክልት ፍሬውን በየጊዜው ለሚያስረክቡ ለሌሎች ገበሬዎች ይሰጠዋል አሉት። | They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons. |
| 42 | ኢየሱስ እንዲህ አላቸው። ግንበኞች የናቁት ድንጋይ እርሱ የማዕዘን ራስ ሆነ፤ ይህም ከጌታ ዘንድ ሆነ፥ ለዓይኖቻችንም ድንቅ ነው የሚለውን ከቶ በመጽሐፍ አላነበባችሁምን? | Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? |
| 43 | ስለዚህ እላችኋለሁ፥ የእግዚአብሔር መንግሥት ከእናንተ ትወሰዳለች ፍሬዋንም ለሚያደርግ ሕዝብ ትሰጣለች። | Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. |
| 44 | በዚህም ድንጋይ ላይ የሚወድቅ ይቀጠቀጣል፤ ድንጋዩ ግን የሚወድቅበትን ሁሉ ይፈጨዋል። | And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. |
| 45 | የካህናት አለቆችና ፈሪሳውያንም ምሳሌዎቹን ሰምተው ስለ እነርሱ እንደ ተናገረ አስተዋሉ፤ | And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them. |
| 46 | ሊይዙትም ሲፈልጉት ሳሉ ሕዝቡ እንደ ነቢይ ስላዩት ፈሩአቸው። | But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they took him for a prophet. |
| 5 | Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass. |
