| Vers | Amharic NT | English: King James Version |
| 1 | በምሳሌም ይነግራቸው ጀመር። አንድ ሰው የወይን አትክልት ተከለ፥ ቅጥርም ቀጠረለት፥ መጥመቂያም ማሰለት፥ ግንብም ሠራና ለገበሬዎች አከራይቶ ወደ ሌላ አገር ሄደ። | And he began to speak unto them by parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about it, and digged a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country. |
| 2 | በጊዜውም ከወይን አትክልት ፍሬ ከገበሬዎቹ እንዲቀበል አንድ ባሪያ ወደ ገበሬዎቹ ላከ፤ | And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard. |
| 3 | ይዘውም ደበደቡት ባዶውንም ሰደዱት። | And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty. |
| 4 | ዳግመኛም ሌላውን ባሪያ ወደ እነርሱ ላከ እርሱንም ወግረው ራሱን አቈሰሉት አዋርደውም ሰደዱት። | And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled. |
| 5 | ሌላውንም ላከ፤ እርሱንም ገደሉት፥ ከሌሎችም ከብዙዎች አንዳንዱን ደበደቡ አንዳንዱንም ገደሉ። | And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some. |
| 6 | የሚወደው አንድ ልጅ ገና ነበረው፤ ልጄንስ ያፍሩታል ብሎ እርሱን ከሁሉ በኋላ ወደ እነርሱ ላከ። | Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son. |
| 7 | እነዚያ ገበሬዎች ግን እርስ በርሳቸው። ወራሹ ይህ ነው፤ ኑ፥ እንግደለው፥ ርስቱም ለኛ ይሆናል ተባባሉ። | But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours. |
| 8 | ይዘውም ገደሉት፥ ከወይኑም አትክልት ወደ ውጭ ጣሉት። | And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard. |
| 9 | እንግዲህ የወይኑ አትክልት ጌታ ምን ያደርጋል? ይመጣል ገበሬዎቹንም ያጠፋል፥ የወይኑንም አትክልት ለሌሎች ይሰጣል። | What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others. |
| 10 | ግንበኞች የናቁት ድንጋይ እርሱ የማዕዘን ራስ ሆነ፤ ይህም ከጌታ ዘንድ ሆነ፥ ለዓይኖቻችንም ድንቅ ነው። የሚለውን ይህን መጽሐፍ አላነበባችሁምን? | And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner: |
| 12 | ምሳሌውንም ስለ እነርሱ እንደ ተናገረ አውቀዋልና ሊይዙት ፈለጉ፥ ነገር ግን ሕዝቡን ፈሩ። ትተውትም ሄዱ። | And they sought to lay hold on him, but feared the people: for they knew that he had spoken the parable against them: and they left him, and went their way. |
| 13 | በንግግርም ሊያጠምዱት ከፈሪሳውያንና ከሄሮድስ ወገን የሆኑትን ወደ እርሱ ላኩ። | And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to catch him in his words. |
| 14 | መጥተውም። መምህር ሆይ፥ የሰውን ፊት ሳትመለከት በእውነት የእግዚአብሔር መንገድ ታስተምራለህና እውነተኛ እንደ ሆንህ ለማንምም እንዳታደላ እናውቃለን፤ ለቄሣር ግብር መስጠት ተፈቅዶአልን ወይስ አልተፈቀደም? እንስጥን ወይስ አንስጥ? አሉት። | And when they were come, they say unto him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not? |
| 15 | እርሱ ግን ግብዝነታቸውን አውቆ። ለምን ትፈትኑኛላችሁ? አየው ዘንድ አንድ ዲናር አምጡልኝ አላቸው። | Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, that I may see it. |
| 16 | እነርሱም አመጡለት። ይህች መልክ ጽሕፈቲቱስ የማን ናት? አላቸው፤ እነርሱም። የቄሣር ናት አሉት። | And they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Caesar's. |
| 17 | ኢየሱስም መልሶ። የቄሣርን ለቄሣር የእግዚአብሔርንም ለእግዚአብሔር አስረክቡ አላቸው። በእርሱም ተደነቁ። | And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they marvelled at him. |
| 18 | ትንሣኤ ሙታን የለም የሚሉ ሰዱቃውያን ወደ እርሱ መጥተው ጠየቁት እንዲህም አሉት። | Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying, |
| 19 | መምህር ሆይ፥ ሙሴ። የአንድ ሰው ወንድም ሚስቱን ትቶ ልጅ ሳያስቀር ቢሞት፥ ወንድሙ ሚስቱን አግብቶ ለወንድሙ ዘር ይተካ ብሎ ጻፈልን። | Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man's brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. |
| 20 | ሰባት ወንድማማቾች ነበሩ፤ ፊተኛውም ሚስት አግብቶ ዘር ሳያስቀር ሞተ፤ | Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed. |
| 21 | ሁለተኛውም አገባት፥ ዘርም ሳይተው ሞተ፤ ሦስተኛውም እንዲሁ፤ | And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed: and the third likewise. |
| 22 | ሰባቱም አገቡአት፥ ዘርም አላስቀሩም። ከሁሉም በኋላ ሴቲቱ ደግሞ ሞተች። | And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also. |
| 23 | ሰባቱ አግብተዋታልና በትንሣኤ ቀን ሲነሡ ከእነርሱ ለማናቸው ሚስት ትሆናለች? | In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife. |
| 24 | ኢየሱስም መልሶ እንዲህ አላቸው። መጻሕፍትንና የእግዚአብሔርን ኃይል አታውቁምና ስለዚህ የምትስቱ አይደለምን? | And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God? |
| 25 | ከሙታንስ ሲነሡ በሰማያት እንዳሉ መላእክት ይሆናሉ እንጂ አያገቡም፥ አይጋቡምም። | For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven. |
| 26 | ስለ ሙታን ግን እንዲነሡ እግዚአብሔር። እኔ የአብርሃም አምላክ የይስሐቅም አምላክ የያዕቆብም አምላክ ነኝ እንዳለው በሙሴ መጽሐፍ በቍጥቋጦው ዘንድ የተጻፈውን አላነበባችሁምን? | And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? |
| 27 | የሕያዋን አምላክ ነው እንጂ የሙታን አይደለም። እንግዲህ እጅግ ትስታላችሁ። | He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err. |
| 28 | ከጻፎችም አንዱ ቀርቦ ሲከራከሩ ሰማና መልካም አድርጎ እንደ መለሰላቸው አስተውሎ። ከሁሉ ፊተኛይቱ ትእዛዝ ማናቸይቱ ናት? ብሎ ጠየቀው። | And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all? |
| 29 | ኢየሱስም መልሶ እንዲህ አለው። ከትእዛዛቱ ሁሉ ፊተኛይቱ። እስራኤል ሆይ፥ ስማ፤ ጌታ አምላካችን አንድ ጌታ ነው፥ | And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: |
| 30 | አንተም በፍጹም ልብህ በፍጹምም ነፍስህ በፍጹምም አሳብህ በፍጹምም ኃይልህ ጌታ አምላክህን ውደድ የምትል ናት። ፊተኛይቱ ትእዛዝ ይህች ናት። | And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. |
| 31 | ሁለተኛይቱም። ባልንጀራህን እንደ ራስህ ውደድ የምትል እርስዋን የምትመስል ይህች ናት። ከእነዚህ የምትበልጥ ሌላ ትእዛዝ የለችም። | And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these. |
| 32 | ጻፊውም። መልካም ነው፥ መምህር ሆይ፤ አንድ ነው ከእርሱም በቀር ሌላ የለም ብለህ በእውነት ተናገርህ፤ | And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he: |
| 33 | በፍጹም ልብ በፍጹም አእምሮም በፍጹም ነፍስም በፍጹም ኃይልም እርሱን መውደድ፥ ባልንጀራንም እንደ ራስ መውደድ በሙሉ ከሚቃጠል መሥዋዕትና ከሌላው መሥዋዕት ሁሉ የሚበልጥ ነው አለው። | And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices. |
| 34 | ኢየሱስም በአእምሮ እንደ መለሰ አይቶ። አንተ ከእግዚአብሔር መንግሥት የራቅህ አይደለህም አለው። ከዚህም በኋላ ማንም ሊጠይቀው አልደፈረም። | And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question. |
| 35 | ኢየሱስም በመቅደስ ሲያስተምር መልሶ እንዲህ አለ። ጻፎች ክርስቶስ የዳዊት ልጅ ነው እንዴት ይላሉ? | And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the Son of David? |
| 36 | ዳዊት ራሱ በመንፈስ ቅዱስ። ጌታ ጌታዬን። ጠላቶችህን የእግርህ መረገጫ እስካደርግልህ ድረስ በቀኜ ተቀመጥ አለው አለ። | For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool. |
| 37 | ዳዊትም ራሱ ጌታ አለው፤ እንዴትስ ልጁ ይሆናል? ብዙ ሕዝብም በደስታ ይሰሙት ነበር። | David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he then his son? And the common people heard him gladly. |
| 38 | ሲያስተምርም እንዲህ አለ። ረጃጅም ልብስ ለብሰው መዞርን፥ በገበያም ሰላምታን፥ በምኵራብም የከበሬታን ወንበር፥ በግብርም የከበሬታን ስፍራ ከሚወዱ ከጻፎች ተጠበቁ፤ | And he said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the marketplaces, |
| 40 | የመበለቶችን ቤት የሚበሉ ጸሎታቸውንም በማስረዘም የሚያመካኙ እነዚህ የባሰ ፍርድ ይቀበላሉ። | Which devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation. |
| 41 | ኢየሱስም በመዝገብ አንጻር ተቀምጦ ሕዝቡ በመዝገብ ውስጥ ገንዘብ እንዴት እንዲጥሉ ያይ ነበር፤ ብዙ ባለ ጠጎችም ብዙ ይጥሉ ነበር፤ | And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much. |
| 42 | አንዲትም ድሀ መበለት መጥታ አንድ ሳንቲም የሚያህሉ ሁለት ናስ ጣለች። | And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing. |
| 43 | ደቀ መዛሙርቱንም ጠርቶ። እውነት እላችኋለሁ፥ በመዝገብ ውስጥ ከሚጥሉት ሁሉ ይልቅ ይህች ድሀ መበለት አብልጣ ጣለች፤ | And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury: |
| 44 | ሁሉ ከትርፋቸው ጥለዋልና፥ ይህች ግን ከጕድለትዋ የነበራትን ሁሉ ትዳርዋን ሁሉ ጣለች አላቸው። | For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living. |
| 11 | This was the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? | |
| 39 | And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts: |
