GOFE
ሄ ዎደ የሱሳ ታማረት ይድ፥ “ሳሎ ካዎተꬃን ኡባፈ አይ ኦኔ?” ያግድ ኦይችዶሶና።
BSB
BSB:
At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who then is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”
2
GOFE
የሱሲ እስ ጉꬃ ናአ ፄግድ ኤንታ ግዶን ኤስድ ሀይሳዳ ያግስ።
BSB
BSB:
Jesus invited a little child to stand among them.
3
GOFE
“ታኒ ህንተዉ ቱማ ኦዳይስ፤ ህንተ ላመቶናነ ጉꬃ ናይታዳ ሀኖና እፅኮ ሳሎ ካዎተꬃ ኡባራካ ገላናዉ ዳንዳኤከታ።
BSB
BSB:
“Truly I tell you,”
He said,
“unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
4
GOFE
ህዛ፥ ሀ ጉꬃ ናአዳ ባና ካዉሽያ ኦንካ ሳሎ ካዎተꬃን ኡባፈ አይሳ ግዳና።
BSB
BSB:
Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
5
GOFE
ሀይሳ መላ ናአ ታ ሱንꬃን ሞክያ ኦንካ ታና ሞኬስ።
BSB
BSB:
And whoever welcomes a little child like this in My name welcomes Me.
6
GOFE
“ሽን ታናን አማንያ ሀ ጉꬃታፐ እሱዋ ናጋራ ኦꬃና መላ ꬉበ ግድያ ኦንካ ግታ ጋቻ ዎፃ ባ ቆን ቃችድ ጪሞ አባን ምተትኮ እያዉ ሎኦ።
BSB
BSB:
But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.
7
GOFE
አላመን አሳይ ናጋራ ኦꬃና መላ ኦꬅያባት ደእያ ግሾ አላምያ አየ! ሄሳ መላባት ዮና አተና፥ ሽን ꬉበይ እያ ጋሶን ያ ኡራ አየ!

Woe to the world for the causes of sin. These stumbling blocks must come, but woe to the man through whom they come!

“ነ ኩሸይ ዎይኮ ነ ቶሆይ ነና ባለꬅኮ ኔፐ ቃንፃ የጋ። ኔኒ ናምኡ ኩሸራ ዎይኮ ናምኡ ቶሆራ መርና ታማን የገታናፐ ኩሸ ዎይኮ ቶሆ ዱፃ ግዳዳ መርና ደኦ ደመይስ ነዉ ሎኦ።
BSB
BSB:
If your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life crippled or lame than to have two hands and two feet and be thrown into the eternal fire.
9
GOFE
ቃስ ነ አይፈይ ነና ባለꬅኮ እዮ ዎጫ ከሳዳ ዎራ ሆላ። ኔኒ ናምኡ አይፈራ ጋናመ ታማን የገተይሳፈ እስ አይፈራ መርና ደኡዋ ገለይስ ነዉ ሎኦ።
BSB
BSB:
And if your eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fire of hell.
10
GOFE
“ታ ህንተዉ ኦዳይስ፤ ሳሎን ደእያ ኤንታ ናግያ ኪታንቾት ኡባ ዎደ ሳሎን ደእያ ታ አዋ ስንꬃን ደእያ ግሾ፥ ህንተ ሀ ጉꬃታፐ እሱዋካ ካꬎና መላ ናገትተ።
BSB
BSB:
See that you do not look down on any of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of My Father in heaven.
11

BSB
BSB:
What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them goes astray, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go out to search for the one that is lost?
13
GOFE
ታ ቱማ ኦዳይስ፤ እ ደምዳ ዎደ ኡዱፉን ታማነ ኡዱፉናታፐ አꬅድ ꬋይድ በንትዳ እስ ዶርሳ ግሾ ኡፋይቴስ።
BSB
BSB:
And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he rejoices more over that one sheep than over the ninety-nine that did not go astray.

“ነ እሻይ ነና ቆህኮ ነርካ እያኮ ባዳ እያ ቆሁዋ እያዉ ኦዳ። እ ነና ስእኮ እያ ነዉ እሻ ኦꬃ።
BSB
BSB:
If your brother sins against you, go and confront him privately. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over.
16
GOFE
ሽን እ ነና ስኦና እፅኮ፥ ናምኡ ዎይኮ ሄꬑ አሳ ማርካን ሞቶይ ላሰትያ ግሾ፥ እስ ዎይኮ ናምኡ አስ ኤካዳ እያኮ ባ።
BSB
BSB:
But if he will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’
17
GOFE
እ ኤንታና ስኦና እፅኮ፥ ዎሳ ኬꬃስ ኦዳ። ዎሳ ኬꬅ ግያባ ስኦና እፅኮ አማኖና አሳዳ ዎይኮ ቃራፃ ቃንፅስያ አሳዳ እያ ፓይዳ።
BSB
BSB:
If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, regard him as you would a pagan or a tax collector.
18
GOFE
“ታ ህንተዉ ቱማ ኦዳይስ፤ ሳአን ህንተ ድግያባት ኡባይ ሳሎን ፆሳ ማታን ድገትዳባ ግዳና። ሳአን ህንተ ሀኖ ግያባት ኡባይ ሳሎን ፆሳ ማታን ሀንዳባ ግዳና።
BSB
BSB:
Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.
19
GOFE
“ቃስካ ታ ህንተዉ ኦዳይስ፤ ሳአን ህንተፈ ናምአይ ባንታ ዎስያባስ እስ ዎዛናን ግድድ ፆሳ ዎስያባ ግድኮ ሳሎን ደእያ ታ አዋይ ህንተዉ ኦꬃና።
BSB
BSB:
Again, I tell you truly that if two of you on the earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by My Father in heaven.
20

Because of this, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.

As he began the settlements, a debtor owing ten thousand talents was brought to him.

“ሄ እያ ላገ አይሌይ እያ ስንꬃን ጉልባትድ፥ ‘ሀያና ጉꬃ ዎደ ታካርክ ታኒ ታ አጩዋ ኡባ ጭጋና’ ያግድ ዎስስ።
