2:1
Καὶ εἰσελθὼν πάλιν εἰς Καφαρναοὺμ δι’ ἡμερῶν ἠκούσθη ὅτι ἐν οἴκῳ ἐστίν.
Et iterum intravit Capharnaum post dies,
ወቦአ ካዕበ ሀገረ ቅፍርናሆም ወጐንድዮ ሕቀ ሰምዑ ሰብእ ዜናሁ ከመ ሀሎ ውስተ ቤት።
When he entered again into Capernaum after some days, it was heard that he was at home.
2:2
καὶ συνήχθησαν πολλοὶ, ὥστε μηκέτι χωρεῖν μηδὲ τὰ πρὸς τὴν θύραν, καὶ ἐλάλει αὐτοῖς τὸν λόγον.
et auditum est quod in domo esset, et convenerunt multi, ita ut non caperet neque ad januam, et loquebatur eis verbum.

Immediately many were gathered together, so that there was no more room, not even around the door; and he spoke the word to them.
2:3
καὶ ἔρχονται φέροντες πρὸς αὐτὸν παραλυτικὸν αἰρόμενον ὑπὸ τεσσάρων.
Et venerunt ad eum ferentes paralyticum, qui a quatuor portabatur.
ወአምጽኡ ኀቤሁ ድዉየ መፃጕዐ ወይጸውርዎ በዐራት አርባዕቱ ዕደው።
Four people came, carrying a paralytic to him.
2:4
καὶ μὴ δυνάμενοι προσενέγκαι αὐτῷ διὰ τὸν ὄχλον ἀπεστέγασαν τὴν στέγην ὅπου ἦν, καὶ ἐξορύξαντες χαλῶσι τὸν κράβαττον ὅπου ὁ παραλυτικὸς κατέκειτο.
Et cum non possent offerre eum illi prae turba, nudaverunt tectum ubi erat : et patefacientes submiserunt grabatum in quo paralyticus jacebat.
ወሶበ ስእኑ አብኦቶ ኀቤሁ እስመ ጽፉቅ ሰብእ ኀበ ሀሎ እግዚእ ኢየሱስ ዐርጉ ናሕሰ ወነሠቱ ጠፈረ ወአውረድዎ ምስለ ዐራቱ ዘዲቤሁ ይሰክብ ውእቱ መፃጕዕ።
When they could not come near to him for the crowd, they removed the roof where he was. When they had broken it up, they let down the mat that the paralytic was lying on.
2:5
καὶ ἰδὼν ὁ Ἰησοῦς τὴν πίστιν αὐτῶν λέγει τῷ παραλυτικῷ· τέκνον, ἀφίενταί σου αἱ ἁμαρτίαι.
Cum autem vidisset Jesus fidem illorum, ait paralytico : Fili, dimittuntur tibi peccata tua.
ወርእዮ እግዚእ ኢየሱስ ሃይማኖቶሙ ይቤሎ ለውእቱ መፃጕዕ ወልድየ ተኀድገ ለከ ኀጢአትከ።
Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven you.”
2:6
ἦσαν δέ τινες τῶν γραμματέων ἐκεῖ καθήμενοι καὶ διαλογιζόμενοι ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις αὐτῶν·
Erant autem illic quidam de scribis sedentes, et cogitantes in cordibus suis :
ወሀለዉ ህየ ጸሐፍት ይነብሩ ወኀለዩ በልቦሙ።
But there were some of the scribes sitting there and reasoning in their hearts,
2:7
τί οὗτος οὕτως λαλεῖ; βλασφημεῖ· τίς δύναται ἀφιέναι ἁμαρτίας εἰ μὴ εἷς ὁ θεός;
Quid hic sic loquitur ? blasphemat. Quis potest dimittere peccata, nisi solus Deus ?
ወይቤሉ ምንትኑ ዝ ዘከመዝ ይነብብ ፅርፈተ ወመኑ ይክል ኀዲገ ኀጢአት ዘእንበለ አሐዱ እግዚአብሔር ።
“Why does this man speak blasphemies like that? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”
2:8
καὶ εὐθὺς ἐπιγνοὺς ὁ Ἰησοῦς τῷ πνεύματι αὐτοῦ ὅτι οὕτως διαλογίζονται ἐν ἑαυτοῖς λέγει αὐτοῖς· τί ταῦτα διαλογίζεσθε ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις ὑμῶν;
Quo statim cognito Jesus spiritu suo, quia sic cogitarent intra se, dicit illis : Quid ista cogitatis in cordibus vestris ?
ወአእመሮሙ እግዚእ ኢየሱስ በመንፈሱ ከመ ከመዝ ይኄልዩ ወይቤሎሙ ለምንት ከመዝ ትኄልዩ በልብክሙ።
Immediately Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, said to them, “Why do you reason these things in your hearts?
2:9
τί ἐστιν εὐκοπώτερον, εἰπεῖν τῷ παραλυτικῷ· ἀφίενταί σου αἱ ἁμαρτίαι, ἢ εἰπεῖν· ἔγειρε καὶ ἆρον τὸν κράβαττόν σου καὶ ὕπαγε;
Quid est facilius dicere paralytico : Dimittuntur tibi peccata : an dicere : Surge, tolle grabatum tuum, et ambula ?
ምንት ይቀልል እምብሂሎቱ ለዝ መፃጕዕ ተኀድገ ለከ ኀጢአትከ ወእምብሂሎቱ ተንሥእ ወንሣእ ዐራተከ ወሑር በእገሪከ።
Which is easier, to tell the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven;’ or to say, ‘Arise, and take up your bed, and walk’?
2:10
ἵνα δὲ εἰδῆτε ὅτι ἐξουσίαν ἔχει ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ἀφιέναι ἁμαρτίας, λέγει τῷ παραλυτικῷ·
Ut autem sciatis quia Filius hominis habet potestatem in terra dimittendi peccata (ait paralytico),
ከመ ታእምሩ ከመ ብዉሕ ሎቱ ለወልደ ዕጓለ እመሕያው ይኅድግ ኀጢአተ በዲበ ምድር።
But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—he said to the paralytic—
2:11
σοὶ λέγω, ἔγειρε ἆρον τὸν κράβαττόν σου καὶ ὕπαγε εἰς τὸν οἶκόν σου.
tibi dico : Surge, tolle grabatum tuum, et vade in domum tuam.
ወካዕበ ይቤሎ ለውእቱ ድዉይ ለከ እብለከ ተንሥእ ወንሣእ ዐራተከ ወእቱ ቤተከ።
“I tell you, arise, take up your mat, and go to your house.”
2:12
καὶ ἠγέρθη καὶ εὐθὺς ἄρας τὸν κράβαττον ἐξῆλθεν ἔμπροσθεν πάντων, ὥστε ἐξίστασθαι πάντας καὶ δοξάζειν τὸν θεὸν λέγοντας ὅτι οὕτως οὐδέποτε εἴδαμεν.
Et statim surrexit ille : et, sublato grabato, abiit coram omnibus, ita ut mirarentur omnes, et honorificent Deum, dicentes : Quia numquam sic vidimus.
ወተንሥአ ሶቤሃ ወነሥአ ዐራቶ ወወፅአ በቅድመ ኵሉ ሰብእ ወደንገፁ ኵሎሙ ወአእኰትዎ ለእግዚአብሔር ወይቤሉ ግሙራ ኢርኢነ ዘከመዝ።
He arose, and immediately took up the mat and went out in front of them all, so that they were all amazed and glorified God, saying, “We never saw anything like this!”
2:13
Καὶ ἐξῆλθεν πάλιν εἴς τὴν θάλασσαν· καὶ πᾶς ὁ ὄχλος ἤρχετο πρὸς αὐτόν, καὶ ἐδίδασκεν αὐτούς.
Et egressus est rursus ad mare, omnisque turba veniebat ad eum, et docebat eos.

He went out again by the seaside. All the multitude came to him, and he taught them.
2:14
καὶ παράγων εἶδεν Λευεὶν τὸν τοῦ Ἁλφαίου καθήμενον ἐπὶ τὸ τελώνιον, καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ· ἀκολούθει μοι. καὶ ἀναστὰς ἠκολούθησεν αὐτῷ.
Et cum praeteriret, vidit Levi Alphaei sedentem ad telonium, et ait illi : Sequere me. Et surgens secutus est eum.

As he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax office. He said to him, “Follow me.” And he arose and followed him.
2:15
καὶ γίνεται κατακεῖσθαι αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ αὐτοῦ, καὶ πολλοὶ τελῶναι καὶ ἁμαρτωλοὶ συνανέκειντο τῷ Ἰησοῦ καὶ τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ· ἦσαν γὰρ πολλοὶ καὶ ἠκολούθουν αὐτῷ

He was reclining at the table in his house, and many tax collectors and sinners sat down with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many, and they followed him.
2:16
καὶ γραμματεῖς τῶν Φαρισαίων. καὶ ἰδόντες ὅτι ἤσθιεν μετὰ τῶν τελωνῶν καὶ ἁμαρτωλῶν, ἔλεγον τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ· ὅτι μετὰ τῶν τελωνῶν καὶ ἁμαρτωλῶν ἐσθίει καὶ πίνει;
Et scribae et pharisaei videntes quia manducaret cum publicanis et peccatoribus, dicebant discipulis ejus : Quare cum publicanis et peccatoribus manducat et bibit Magister vester ?

The scribes and the Pharisees, when they saw that he was eating with the sinners and tax collectors, said to his disciples, “Why is it that he eats and drinks with tax collectors and sinners?”
2:17
καὶ ἀκούσας ὁ Ἰησοῦς λέγει αὐτοῖς· οὐ χρείαν ἔχουσιν οἱ ἰσχύοντες ἰατροῦ ἀλλ’ οἱ κακῶς ἔχοντες· οὐκ ἦλθον καλέσαι δικαίους ἀλλὰ ἁμαρτωλούς.
Hoc audito Jesus ait illis : Non necesse habent sani medico, sed qui male habent : non enim veni vocare justos, sed peccatores.

When Jesus heard it, he said to them, “Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”
2:18

John’s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting, and they came and asked him, “Why do John’s disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples don’t fast?”
2:19
καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς, μὴ δύνανται οἱ υἱοὶ τοῦ νυμφῶνος ἐν ᾧ ὁ νυμφίος μετ’ αὐτῶν ἐστιν νηστεύειν; ὅσον χρόνον ἔχουσιν τὸν νυμφίον μετ’ αὐτῶν, οὐ δύνανται νηστεύειν·
Et ait illis Jesus : Numquid possunt filii nuptiarum, quamdiu sponsus cum illis est, jejunare ? Quanto tempore habent secum sponsum, non possunt jejunare.

Jesus said to them, “Can the groomsmen fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they can’t fast.
2:20
ἐλεύσονται δὲ ἡμέραι ὅταν ἀπαρθῇ ἀπ’ αὐτῶν ὁ νυμφίος, καὶ τότε νηστεύσουσιν ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ.
Venient autem dies cum auferetur ab eis sponsus : et tunc jejunabunt in illis diebus.
ወባሕቱ ይበጽሕ መዋዕል አመ ይነሥእዎ ለመርዓዊ እምኔሆሙ ወይእተ አሚረ ይጸውሙ።
But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast in that day.
2:21
Οὐδεὶς ἐπίβλημα ῥάκους ἀγνάφου ἐπιράπτει ἐπὶ ἱμάτιον παλαιόν· εἰ δὲ μή, αἴρει τὸ πλήρωμα ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ τὸ καινὸν τοῦ παλαιοῦ, καὶ χεῖρον σχίσμα γίνεται.
