| Vers | Amharic NT | English: King James Version |
| 1 | ከሁለት ቀን በኋላ ፋሲካና የቂጣ በዓል ነበረ። የካህናት አለቆችም ጻፎችም እንዴት አድርገው በተንኰል እንደሚይዙትና እንደሚገድሉት ይፈልጉ ነበር። | After two days was the feast of the passover, and of unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him by craft, and put him to death. |
| 2 | የሕዝብ ሁከት እንዳይሆን በበዓል አይሁን ይሉ ነበርና። | But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar of the people. |
| 3 | እርሱም በቢታንያ በለምጻሙ በስምዖን ቤት በነበረ ጊዜ፥ በማዕድ ተቀምጦ ሳለ፥ አንዲት ሴት ዋጋው እጅግ የከበረ ጥሩ ናርዶስ ሽቱ የመላበት የአልባስጥሮስ ቢልቃጥ ይዛ መጣች፤ ቢልቃጡንም ሰብራ በራሱ ላይ አፈሰሰችው። | And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box, and poured it on his head. |
| 4 | አንዳንዶችም። ይህ የሽቱ ጥፋት ለምንድር ነው? | And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made? |
| 5 | ይህ ሽቱ ከሦስት መቶ ዲናር በሚበልጥ ዋጋ ተሽጦ ለድሆች ሊሰጥ ይቻል ነበርና ብለው በራሳቸው ይቈጡ ነበር፤ እርስዋንም ነቀፉአት። | For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor. And they murmured against her. |
| 6 | ኢየሱስ ግን እንዲህ አለ። ተዉአት፤ ስለ ምን ታደክሙአታላችሁ? መልካም ሥራ ሠርታልኛለች። | And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me. |
| 7 | ድሆች ሁልጊዜ ከእናንተ ጋር ይኖራሉና፥ በማናቸውም በወደዳችሁት ጊዜ መልካም ልታደርጉላቸው ትችላላችሁ፥ እኔ ግን ሁልጊዜ ከእናንተ ጋር አልኖርም። | For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always. |
| 8 | የተቻላትን አደረገች፤ አስቀድማ ለመቃብሬ ሥጋዬን ቀባችው። | She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying. |
| 9 | እውነት እላችኋለሁ፥ ይህ ወንጌል በዓለሙ ሁሉ በሚሰበክበት በማናቸውም ስፍራ፥ እርስዋ ያደረገችው ደግሞ ለእርስዋ መታሰቢያ ሊሆን ይነገራል። | Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her. |
| 10 | ከአሥራ ሁለቱም አንዱ የአስቆሮቱ ይሁዳ አሳልፎ ሊሰጠው ወደ ካህናት አለቆች ሄደ። | And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went unto the chief priests, to betray him unto them. |
| 11 | ሲሰሙም ደስ አላቸው ብርም ይሰጡት ዘንድ ተስፋ ሰጡት። በሚመች ጊዜም እንዴት አድርጎ አሳልፎ እንዲሰጠው ይፈልግ ነበር። | And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently betray him. |
| 12 | ፋሲካን በሚያርዱበት በቂጣ በዓል መጀመሪያ ቀን ደቀ መዛሙርቱ። ፋሲካን ትበላ ዘንድ ወዴት ሄደን ልናሰናዳ ትወዳለህ? አሉት። | And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover, his disciples said unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare that thou mayest eat the passover? |
| 13 | ከደቀ መዛሙርቱም ሁለት ላከ እንዲህም አላቸው። ወደ ከተማ ሂዱ፥ ማድጋ ውኃ የተሸከመ ሰውም ይገናኛችኋል፤ | And he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and saith unto them, Go ye into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water: follow him. |
| 14 | ተከተሉት፥ የሚገባበትንም የቤቱን ጌታ። መምህሩ። ከደቀ መዛሙርቴ ጋር ፋሲካን የምበላበት የእንግዳ ቤት ወዴት ነው? ይላል በሉት። | And wheresoever he shall go in, say ye to the goodman of the house, The Master saith, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples? |
| 15 | እርሱም በደርብ ላይ ያለውን የተሰናዳና የተነጠፈ ታላቅ አዳራሽ ያሳያችኋል፤ | And he will shew you a large upper room furnished and prepared: there make ready for us. |
| 16 | በዚያም አሰናዱልን። ደቀ መዛሙርቱም ወጡ ወደ ከተማም ሄደው እንዳላቸው አገኙ፥ ፋሲካንም አሰናዱ። | And his disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover. |
| 17 | በመሸም ጊዜ ከአሥራ ሁለቱ ጋር መጣ። | And in the evening he cometh with the twelve. |
| 18 | ተቀምጠውም ሲበሉ ኢየሱስ። እውነት እላችኋለሁ፥ ከእናንተ አንዱ፥ እርሱም ከእኔ ጋር የሚበላው አሳልፎ ይሰጠኛል አለ። | And as they sat and did eat, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, One of you which eateth with me shall betray me. |
| 19 | እነርሱም ያዝኑ፥ እያንዳንዳቸውም። እኔ እሆንን? ይሉት ጀመር። | And they began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by one, Is it I? and another said, Is it I? |
| 20 | እርሱም መልሶ። ከአሥራ ሁለቱ አንዱ ከእኔ ጋር ወደ ወጭቱ እጁን የሚያጠልቀው ነው። | And he answered and said unto them, It is one of the twelve, that dippeth with me in the dish. |
| 21 | የሰው ልጅስ ስለ እርሱ እንደ ተጻፈ ይሄዳል፤ ነገር ግን የሰው ልጅ አልፎ ለሚሰጥበት ለዚያ ሰው ወዮለት፤ ያ ሰው ባልተወለደ ይሻለው ነበር አላቸው። | The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had never been born. |
| 22 | ሲበሉም ኢየሱስ እንጀራን አንሥቶ ባረከ ቈርሶም ሰጣቸውና። እንካችሁ፤ ይህ ሥጋዬ ነው አለ። | And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body. |
| 23 | ጽዋንም አንሥቶ አመስግኖም ሰጣቸው፥ ሁሉም ከእርሱ ጠጡ። | And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them: and they all drank of it. |
| 24 | እርሱም። ይህ ስለ ብዙዎች የሚፈስ የአዲስ ኪዳን ደሜ ነው። | And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many. |
| 25 | እውነት እላችኋለሁ፥ በእግዚአብሔር መንግሥት ከወይኑ ፍሬ አዲሱን እስከምጠጣበት እስከዚያ ቀን ድረስ ደግሞ አልጠጣውም አላቸው። | Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God. |
| 26 | መዝሙርም ከዘመሩ በኋላ ወደ ደብረ ዘይት ወጡ። | And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives. |
| 27 | ኢየሱስም። በዚች ሌሊት ሁላችሁ በእኔ ትሰናከላላችሁ፤ እረኛዉን እመታለሁ በጎችም ይበተናሉ የሚል ተጽፎአልና። | And Jesus saith unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered. |
| 28 | ነገር ግን ከተነሣሁ በኋላ ወደ ገሊላ እቀድማችኋለሁ አላቸው። | But after that I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee. |
| 29 | ጴጥሮስም። ሁሉም ቢሰናከሉ እኔ ግን ከቶ አልሰናከልም አለው። | But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be offended, yet will not I. |
| 30 | ኢየሱስም። እውነት እልሃለሁ፥ ዛሬ በዚች ሌሊት ዶሮ ሁለት ጊዜ ሳይጮኽ ሦስት ጊዜ ትክደኛለህ አለው። | And Jesus saith unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this day, even in this night, before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. |
| 31 | እርሱም ቃሉን አበርትቶ። ከአንተ ጋር የምሞት እንኳ ቢሆን ከቶ አልክድህም አለ። ሁሉም ደግሞ እንደዚሁ አሉ። | But he spake the more vehemently, If I should die with thee, I will not deny thee in any wise. Likewise also said they all. |
| 32 | ጌቴሴማኒ ወደምትባልም ስፍራ መጡ፥ ደቀ መዛሙርቱንም። ስጸልይ ሳለሁ፥ በዚህ ተቀመጡ አላቸው። | And they came to a place which was named Gethsemane: and he saith to his disciples, Sit ye here, while I shall pray. |
| 33 | ጴጥሮስንና ያዕቆብን ዮሐንስንም ከእርሱ ጋር ወሰደ፤ ሊደነግጥም ሊተክዝም ጀመረና። | And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and began to be sore amazed, and to be very heavy; |
| 34 | ነፍሴ እስከ ሞት ድረስ እጅግ አዘነች፤ በዚህ ቈዩ ትጉም አላቸው። | And saith unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death: tarry ye here, and watch. |
| 35 | ጥቂትም ወደ ፊት እልፍ ብሎ በምድርም ወድቆ፥ ይቻልስ ቢሆን ሰዓቲቱ ከእርሱ እንድታልፍ ጸለየና። | And he went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him. |
| 36 | አባ አባት ሆይ፥ ሁሉ ይቻልሃል፤ ይህችን ጽዋ ከእኔ ውሰድ፤ ነገር ግን አንተ የምትወደው እንጂ እኔ የምወደው አይሁን አለ። | And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt. |
| 37 | መጣም ተኝተውም አገኛቸው፥ ጴጥሮስንም። ስምዖን ሆይ፥ ተኝተሃልን? አንዲት ሰዓት ስንኳ ልትተጋ አልቻልህምን? | And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldest not thou watch one hour? |
| 38 | ወደ ፈተና እንዳትገቡ ትጉ ጸልዩም፤ መንፈስስ ተዘጋጅታለች፥ ሥጋ ግን ደካማ ነው አለው። | Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak. |
| 39 | ደግሞም ሄዶ ያንኑ ቃል ጸለየ። | And again he went away, and prayed, and spake the same words. |
| 40 | ደግሞም መጥቶ ዓይኖቻቸው በእንቅልፍ ከብደው ነበርና ተኝተው አገኛቸው፥ የሚመልሱለትንም አላወቁም። | And when he returned, he found them asleep again, (for their eyes were heavy,) neither wist they what to answer him. |
| 41 | ሦስተኛም መጥቶ። እንግዲህስ ተኙ ዕረፉም፤ ይበቃል፤ ሰዓቲቱ ደረሰች፤ እነሆ፥ የሰው ልጅ በኃጢአተኞች እጅ አልፎ ይሰጣል። | And he cometh the third time, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: it is enough, the hour is come; behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. |
| 42 | ተነሡ፥ እንሂድ፤ እነሆ፥ አሳልፎ የሚሰጠኝ ቀርቦአል አላቸው። | Rise up, let us go; lo, he that betrayeth me is at hand. |
| 43 | ወዲያውም ገና ሲናገር ከአሥራ ሁለቱ አንዱ ይሁዳ መጣ፥ ከእርሱም ጋር ብዙ ሰዎች ሰይፍና ጐመድ ይዘው ከካህናት አለቆችና ከጻፎች ከሽማግሌዎችም ዘንድ መጡ። | And immediately, while he yet spake, cometh Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders. |
| 44 | አሳልፎ የሚሰጠውም። የምስመው እርሱ ነው፤ ያዙት ተጠንቅቃችሁም ውሰዱት ብሎ ምልክት ሰጥቶአቸው ነበር። | And he that betrayed him had given them a token, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he; take him, and lead him away safely. |
| 45 | መጥቶም ወዲያው ወደ እርሱ ቀረበና። መምህር ሆይ፥ መምህር ሆይ፥ ብሎ ሳመው፤ | And as soon as he was come, he goeth straightway to him, and saith, Master, master; and kissed him. |
| 46 | እነርሱም እጃቸውን በእርሱ ላይ ጭነው ያዙት። | And they laid their hands on him, and took him. |
| 47 | በአጠገብ ከቆሙት ግን አንዱ ሰይፉን መዞ የሊቀ ካህናቱን ባሪያ መታ ጆሮውንም ቈረጠ። | And one of them that stood by drew a sword, and smote a servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear. |
| 48 | ኢየሱስም መልሶ። ወንበዴ እንደምትይዙ ሰይፍና ጐመድ ይዛችሁ ልትይዙኝ መጣችሁን? | And Jesus answered and said unto them, Are ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and with staves to take me? |
| 49 | በመቅደስ ዕለት ዕለት እያስተማርሁ ከእናንተ ጋር ስኖር አልያዛችሁኝም፤ ነገር ግን መጻሕፍት ይፈጸሙ ዘንድ ይህ ሆነ አላቸው። | I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye took me not: but the scriptures must be fulfilled. |
| 50 | ሁሉም ትተውት ሸሹ። | And they all forsook him, and fled. |
| 51 | ዕርቃኑን በነጠላ የሸፈነ አንድ ጎበዝ ይከተለው ነበር፥ | And there followed him a certain young man, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body; and the young men laid hold on him: |
| 52 | ጎበዛዝቱም ያዙት፤ እርሱ ግን ነጠላውን ትቶ ዕራቁቱን ሸሸ። | And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked. |
| 53 | ኢየሱስንም ወደ ሊቀ ካህናቱ ወሰዱት፥ የካህናት አለቆችም ሁሉ ሽማግሌዎችም ጻፎችም ተሰበሰቡ። | And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and with him were assembled all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes. |
| 54 | ጴጥሮስም እስከ ሊቀ ካህናቱ ግቢ ውስጥ በሩቁ ተከተለው፥ ከሎሌዎችም ጋር ተቀምጦ እሳት ይሞቅ ነበር። | And Peter followed him afar off, even into the palace of the high priest: and he sat with the servants, and warmed himself at the fire. |
| 55 | የካህናት አለቆችም ሸንጎውም ሁሉ እንዲገድሉት በኢየሱስ ላይ ምስክር ይፈልጉ ነበር፥ አላገኙምም፤ | And the chief priests and all the council sought for witness against Jesus to put him to death; and found none. |
| 56 | ብዙዎች በሐሰት ይመሰክሩበት ነበርና፥ ምስክርነታቸው ግን አልተሰማማም። | For many bare false witness against him, but their witness agreed not together. |
| 57 | ሰዎችም ተነሥተው። እኔ ይህን በእጅ የተሠራውን ቤተ መቅደስ አፈርሰዋለሁ በሦስት ቀንም ሌላውን በእጅ ያልተሠራውን እሠራለሁ ሲል ሰማነው ብለው በሐሰት መሰከሩበት። | And there arose certain, and bare false witness against him, saying, |
| 59 | ምስክርነታቸውም እንዲሁ እንኳ አልተሰማማም። | But neither so did their witness agree together. |
| 60 | ሊቀ ካህናቱም በመካከላቸው ተነሥቶ። አንዳች አትመልስምን? እነዚህስ በአንተ ላይ የሚመሰክሩብህ ምንድር ነው? ብሎ ኢየሱስን ጠየቀው። | And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee? |
| 61 | እርሱ ግን ዝም አለ አንዳችም አልመለሰም። ደግሞ ሊቀ ካህናቱ ጠየቀውና። የቡሩክ ልጅ ክርስቶስ አንተ ነህን? አለው። | But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed? |
| 62 | ኢየሱስም። እኔ ነኝ፤ የሰው ልጅም በኃይል ቀኝ ሲቀመጥ በሰማይም ደመና ሲመጣ ታያላችሁ አለ። | And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. |
| 63 | ሊቀ ካህናቱም ልብሱን ቀደደና። ከእንግዲህ ወዲህ ምስክሮችን ምን ያስፈልገናል? | Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any further witnesses? |
| 64 | ስድቡን ሰማችሁ፤ ምን ይመስላችኋል? አለ። እነርሱም ሁሉ። ሞት ይገባዋል ብለው ፈረዱበት። | Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death. |
| 65 | አንዳንዶችም ይተፉበት ፊቱንም ሸፍነው ይጐስሙትና። ትንቢት ተናገር ይሉት ጀመር፤ ሎሌዎችም በጥፊ እየመቱ ወሰዱት። | And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say unto him, Prophesy: and the servants did strike him with the palms of their hands. |
| 66 | ጴጥሮስም በግቢ ውስጥ ወደ ታች ሳለ ከሊቀ ካህናቱ ገረዶች አንዲቱ መጣች፥ | And as Peter was beneath in the palace, there cometh one of the maids of the high priest: |
| 67 | ጴጥሮስም እሳት ሲሞቅ አይታ ተመለከተችውና። አንተ ደግሞ ከናዝሬቱ ከኢየሱስ ጋር ነበርህ አለችው። | And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and said, And thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth. |
| 68 | እርሱ ግን። የምትዪውን አላውቅም አላስተውልምም ብሎ ካደ። ወደ ውጭም ወደ ደጅ ወጣ፤ ዶሮም ጮኸ። | But he denied, saying, I know not, neither understand I what thou sayest. And he went out into the porch; and the cock crew. |
| 69 | ገረዲቱም አይታው በዚያ ለቆሙት። ይህም ከእነርሱ ወገን ነው ስትል ሁለተኛ ትነግራቸው ጀመር። | And a maid saw him again, and began to say to them that stood by, This is one of them. |
| 70 | እርሱም ደግሞ ካደ። ጥቂት ቈይተውም በዚያ የቆሙት ዳግመኛ ጴጥሮስን። የገሊላ ሰው ነህና ከእነርሱ ወገን በእውነት ነህ አሉት። | And he denied it again. And a little after, they that stood by said again to Peter, Surely thou art one of them: for thou art a Galilaean, and thy speech agreeth thereto. |
| 71 | እርሱ ግን። ይህን የምትሉትን ሰው አላውቀውም ብሎ ይረገምና ይምል ጀመር። ወዲያውም ዶሮ ሁለተኛ ጮኸ። | But he began to curse and to swear, saying, I know not this man of whom ye speak. |
| 72 | ጴጥሮስንም ኢየሱስ። ዶሮ ሁለት ጊዜ ሳይጮኽ ሦስት ጊዜ ትክደኛለህ ያለው ቃል ትዝ አለው፤ ነገሩንም አስቦ አለቀሰ። | And the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind the word that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And when he thought thereon, he wept. |
| 58 | We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands. |
