ሉቃስ 8:1-56

የዘሪው ምሳሌ

8፥4-15 ተጓ ምብ – ማቴ 13፥2-23ማር 4፥1-20

1ከዚህ በኋላ ኢየሱስ የእግዚአብሔርን መንግሥት የምሥራች ቃል እየሰበከ በየከተማውና በየመንደሩ ዐለፈ። ዐሥራ ሁለቱም ከእርሱ ጋር ነበሩ፤ 2እንዲሁም ከርኩሳን መናፍስትና ከደዌ የተፈወሱ አንዳንድ ሴቶች አብረውት ነበሩ፤ እነርሱም ሰባት አጋንንት የወጡላት መግደላዊት የተባለችው ማርያም፣ 3የሄሮድስ ቤት ኀላፊ የነበረው የኩዛ ሚስት ዮሐና፣ ሶስና፣ ደግሞም ሌሎች ብዙዎች ነበሩ፤ እነዚህም በግል ንብረታቸው የሚያገለግሉት ነበሩ።

4ብዙ ሕዝብ በአንድነት ተሰብስቦ ሳለ፣ ደግሞም ሰዎች ከተለያዩ ከተሞች ወደ እርሱ በሚጐርፉበት ጊዜ፣ ይህን ምሳሌ እንዲህ ሲል ነገራቸው፤ 5“አንድ ዐራሽ ዘሩን ሊዘራ ወጣ፤ ሲዘራም፣ አንዳንዱ ዘር መንገድ ዳር ወደቀ፣ በእግርም ተረጋገጠ፤ የሰማይ ወፎችም በሉት። 6አንዳንዱም ዘር በድንጋያማ ቦታ ላይ ወደቀ፤ እንደ በቀለም ርጥበት አልነበረውምና ደረቀ። 7ሌላው ዘር ደግሞ እሾኽ መካከል ወደቀ፤ እሾኹም አብሮት አደገና ዐንቆ አስቀረው። 8ሌላውም ዘር በመልካም መሬት ላይ ወደቀ፤ በበቀለም ጊዜ መቶ ዕጥፍ አፈራ።”

ይህን ብሎ ሲያበቃም ድምፁን ከፍ አድርጎ፣ “ሰሚ ጆሮ ያለው ይስማ” አለ።

9ደቀ መዛሙርቱም የዚህን ምሳሌ ትርጕም ጠየቁት። 10እርሱም እንዲህ አለ፤ “የእግዚአብሔርን መንግሥት ምስጢር ማወቅ ለእናንተ ተሰጥቷል፤ ለሌሎች ግን በምሳሌ እናገራለሁ፤ ይኸውም፣

“ ‘እያዩ ልብ እንዳይሉ፣

እየሰሙም እንዳያስተውሉ ነው።’

11“እንግዲህ የምሳሌው ትርጕም ይህ ነው፤ ዘር የተባለው የእግዚአብሔር ቃል ነው። 12በመንገድ ዳር የወደቀው ቃሉን የሚሰሙ፣ ነገር ግን አምነው እንዳይድኑ ዲያብሎስ መጥቶ ቃሉን ከልባቸው የሚወስድባቸው ናቸው። 13በድንጋያማ ቦታ ላይ የወደቀውም ቃሉን ሲሰሙ በደስታ የሚቀበሉ ናቸው፤ እነዚህ ለጊዜው ያምናሉ እንጂ ሥር ስለሌላቸው በፈተና ጊዜ ፈጥነው የሚክዱ ናቸው። 14በእሾኽ መካከል የወደቀውም ቃሉን የሚሰሙት ናቸው፤ እነዚህም ውለው ዐድረው በምድራዊ ሕይወት ጭንቀት፣ በባለጠግነትና ተድላ ደስታ ታንቀው በሚገባ አያፈሩም። 15በመልካም መሬት ላይ የወደቀውም ቃሉን ቅንና በጎ በሆነ ልብ ሰምተው የሚጠብቁ፣ ታግሠውም በመጽናት ፍሬ የሚያፈሩ ናቸው።

በመቅረዝ ላይ ያለ መብራት

16“መብራትን አብርቶ ጋን ውስጥ ወይም በዐልጋ ሥር የሚያስቀምጥ ማንም የለም፤ ይልቁንም ወደ ቤት የሚገቡ ብርሃኑን እንዲያዩ በመቅረዝ ላይ ያስቀምጠዋል። 17የማይገለጥ የተሰወረ፣ የማይታወቅ ወደ ብርሃን የማይወጣ፣ የተደበቀ ነገር የለምና። 18እንግዲህ እንዴት እንደምትሰሙ ተጠንቀቁ፤ ላለው ይጨመርለታልና፤ ከሌለው ሁሉ ግን ያው ያለው የሚመስለው እንኳ ይወሰድበታል።”

የኢየሱስ እናትና ወንድሞች

8፥19-21 ተጓ ምብ – ማቴ 12፥46-50ማር 3፥31-35

19ከዚህ በኋላ የኢየሱስ እናትና ወንድሞቹ እርሱ ወዳለበት መጡ፤ እነርሱም ከሕዝቡ ብዛት የተነሣ ወደ እርሱ ሊቀርቡ አልቻሉም። 20በዚህ ጊዜ፣ “እናትህና ወንድሞችህ ሊያዩህ ፈልገው በውጭ ቆመዋል” የሚል ወሬ ደረሰው።

21እርሱም መልሶ፣ “እናቴና ወንድሞቼስ የእግዚአብሔርን ቃል ሰምተው የሚያደርጉት ናቸው” አላቸው።

ኢየሱስ ማዕበሉን ጸጥ አደረገ

22ከዕለታቱ በአንድ ቀን፣ ኢየሱስ ከደቀ መዛሙርቱ ጋር ጀልባ ላይ ወጣ፤ ኢየሱስም፤ “ወደ ባሕሩ ማዶ እንሻገር” አላቸው፤ ከዚያም ጕዞ ቀጠሉ። 23እየተጓዙ ሳሉም ኢየሱስ እንቅልፍ ወስዶት ተኛ፤ በዚህ ጊዜ በባሕሩ ላይ ማዕበል ተነሣ፤ ውሃውም ጀልባዋን ዘልቆ ስለ ገባ፣ አደጋ አፋፍ ላይ ደረሱ።

24ደቀ መዛሙርቱም ቀርበው፣ “ጌታ ሆይ፤ ጌታ ሆይ፤ ማለቃችን እኮ ነው!” እያሉ ቀሰቀሱት።

እርሱም ነቅቶ ነፋሱንና የውሃውን መናወጥ ገሠጸ፤ በዚህ ጊዜ ነፋሱም ነውጡም ተወ፤ ጸጥታም ሆነ። 25እርሱም ደቀ መዛሙርቱን፣ “እምነታችሁ የት አለ?” አላቸው።

እነርሱም በፍርሀትና በመደነቅ፣ “ይህ ነፋስንና ውሃን የሚያዝ፣ እነርሱም የሚታዘዙለት እርሱ ማን ነው?” ተባባሉ።

አጋንንት ያደረበት ሰው መፈወሱ

8፥26-39 ተጓ ምብ – ማር 5፥1-20

26ከዚህ በኋላ ከገሊላ ባሻገር ወዳለው ወደ ጌርጌሴኖን8፥26 አንዳንድ ቅጆች ጋድሬኔስ፣ ሌሎች ቅጆች ደግሞ ጌርጌ ሴኔስ ይላሉ፤ 37 ይመ አገር በጀልባ ተሻገሩ። 27ኢየሱስ ከጀልባዋ ወደ ምድር በወረደ ጊዜ፣ አጋንንት ያደረበት አንድ ሰው ከከተማ ወጥቶ አገኘው፤ ይህ ሰው ለብዙ ጊዜ ልብስ ሳይለብስ፣ በቤትም ሳይኖር የመቃብርን ስፍራ ቤቱ ያደረገ ነበር። 28ኢየሱስንም ባየው ጊዜ እየጮኸ ፊቱ ተደፋ፤ በታላቅ ድምፅም፣ “የልዑል እግዚአብሔር ልጅ ኢየሱስ ሆይ፤ ከእኔ ጋር ምን ጕዳይ አለህ? እንዳታሠቃየኝ እለምንሃለሁ” አለ። 29ርኩሱ8፥29 ወይም ክፉ መንፈስ ይህን ያለው ከሰውየው እንዲወጣ ኢየሱስ አዝዞት ስለ ነበር ነው። ርኩሱ መንፈስ በየጊዜው ስለሚነሣበት ሰውየው በሰንሰለትና በእግር ብረት እየታሰረ ቢጠበቅም፣ የታሰረበትን ሰንሰለት እየበጣጠሰ ያደረበት ጋኔን ወደ በረሓ ይነዳው ነበር።

30ኢየሱስም፣ “ስምህ ማን ነው?” ብሎ ጠየቀው።

እርሱም ብዙ አጋንንት ገብተውበት ስለ ነበር፣ “ሌጌዎን” አለው። 31አጋንንቱም እንጦርጦስ ግቡ ብሎ እንዳያዝዛቸው አጥብቀው ለመኑት።

32በዚያም አካባቢ በተራራ ወገብ ላይ የብዙ ዐሣማ መንጋ ተሰማርቶ ነበር፤ አጋንንቱም ወደ ዐሣማው መንጋ ግቡ ብሎ እንዲፈቅድላቸው ለመኑት፤ እርሱም ፈቀደላቸው። 33አጋንንቱም ከሰውየው ወጥተው ወደ ዐሣማዎቹ ገቡ፤ የዐሣማውም መንጋ በገደሉ አፋፍ ቍልቍል በመንደርደር ባሕሩ ውስጥ ገብቶ ሰጠመ።

34እረኞቹም የሆነውን ነገር ባዩ ጊዜ፣ ሸሽተው በመሄድ በከተማውና በገጠሩ አወሩ። 35ሕዝቡም የተደረገውን ነገር ለማየት ከያሉበት ወጥተው ወደ ኢየሱስ መጡ። አጋንንት የወጡለትም ሰው ልብስ ለብሶ፣ ወደ ልቦናው ተመልሶ፣ በኢየሱስም እግር ሥር ተቀምጦ ባዩት ጊዜ ፈሩ። 36በአጋንንት የተያዘው ሰው ሲድን ያዩትም፣ እንዴት እንደ ዳነ ለሕዝቡ አወሩላቸው። 37የጌርጌሴኖን አካባቢ ሰዎችም ሁሉ ታላቅ ፍርሀት ስላደረባቸው፣ ከዚያ እንዲሄድላቸው ኢየሱስን ለመኑት፤ እርሱም ወደ ጀልባው ገብቶ ተመልሶ ሄደ።

38አጋንንት የወጡለትም ሰው አብሮት ለመሆን ኢየሱስን ለመነው፤ እርሱ ግን እንዲህ ሲል አሰናበተው፤ 39“ወደ ቤትህ ተመልሰህ፣ እግዚአብሔር ያደረገልህን ታላቅ ነገር ተናገር።” ሰውየውም ኢየሱስ ያደረገለትን ታላቅ ነገር በከተማው ሁሉ በይፋ እየተናገረ ሄደ።

የሞተችው ልጅና የታመመችው ሴት

8፥40-56 ተጓ ምብ – ማቴ 9፥18-26ማር 5፥22-43

40ሕዝቡ ሁሉ መምጣቱን ይጠባበቁ ስለ ነበር፣ ኢየሱስ በተመለሰ ጊዜ በደስታ ተቀበሉት። 41በዚህ ጊዜ ኢያኢሮስ የተባለ የምኵራብ አለቃ መጥቶ፣ በኢየሱስ እግር ላይ በመውደቅ ወደ ቤቱ እንዲሄድለት ለመነው፤ 42ይህን ልመና ያቀረበው ዕድሜዋ ዐሥራ ሁለት ዓመት የሆነ አንዲት ልጅ ስለ ነበረችው ነው፤ እርሷ በሞት አፋፍ ላይ ነበረች።

ወደዚያው እያመራ ሳለ፣ ሕዝቡ በመጋፋት እጅግ ያጨናንቀው ነበር። 43ዐሥራ ሁለት ዓመት ደም ሲፈስሳት የኖረች አንዲት ሴት ነበረች፤ ያላትን ሁሉ ለባለ መድኀኒቶች ጨርሳ8፥43 አያሌ ቅጆች ያላትን ሁሉ ለባለ መድኀኒቶች ጨርሳ የሚለው የላቸውም። ሊፈውሳትም የቻለ ማንም አልነበረም። 44እርሷም ከበስተ ኋላው ተጠግታ የልብሱን ጫፍ ነካች፤ ይፈስስ የነበረው ደሟም ወዲያው ቆመ።

45ኢየሱስም፣ “የነካኝ ማነው?” አለ።

ሁሉም መንካታቸውን በካዱ ጊዜ ጴጥሮስ፣ “ጌታ ሆይ፤ ሕዝቡ ሁሉ ከብቦህ በግፊያ እያስጨነቀህ ነው” አለው።

46ኢየሱስ ግን፣ “አንድ ሰው ነክቶኛል፤ ኀይል ከእኔ እንደ ወጣ ዐውቃለሁና” አለ።

47ሴትዮዋም ሳትታወቅ መሄድ እንዳልቻለች በተረዳች ጊዜ፣ እየተንቀጠቀጠች መጥታ በፊቱ ተደፋች፤ ለምን እንደ ነካችውና እንዴት ወዲያው እንደ ተፈወሰች በሕዝቡ ሁሉ ፊት ተናገረች። 48እርሱም፣ “ልጄ ሆይ እምነትሽ ፈውሶሻል በሰላም ሂጂ” አላት።

49ኢየሱስ ገና እየተናገረ ሳለ፣ አንድ ሰው ከምኵራብ አለቃው ከኢያኢሮስ ቤት መጥቶ፣ “ልጅህ ሞታለች፤ ከዚህ በኋላ መምህሩን አታድክመው” አለው።

50ኢየሱስም ይህን ሰምቶ ኢያኢሮስን፣ “አትፍራ፣ እመን ብቻ እንጂ፤ ልጅህ ትድናለች” አለው።

51ወደ ኢያኢሮስ ቤት ሲገባም ከጴጥሮስ፣ ከዮሐንስና ከያዕቆብ እንዲሁም ከልጅቱ አባትና እናት በቀር ማንም አብሮት እንዲገባ አልፈቀደም። 52በዚህ ጊዜ ሰዎቹ ሁሉ እያለቀሱላት ዋይ ዋይ ይሉ ነበር። እርሱ ግን፣ “አታልቅሱ፤ ተኝታለች እንጂ አልሞተችም” አላቸው።

53ሰዎቹም መሞቷን ስላወቁ ሣቁበት። 54እርሱ ግን እጇን ይዞ፣ “ልጄ ሆይ፤ ተነሺ” አላት። 55የልጅቷም መንፈስ ተመለሰ፤ ወዲያውም ተነሥታ ቆመች፤ ኢየሱስም የሚበላ ነገር እንዲሰጧት አዘዛቸው። 56ወላጆቿም ተደነቁ፤ እርሱ ግን የሆነውን ነገር ለማንም እንዳያወሩ አዘዛቸው።

Luke 8:1-56

The parable of the sower

1After this, Jesus travelled about from one town and village to another, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. The Twelve were with him, 2and also some women who had been cured of evil spirits and diseases: Mary (called Magdalene) from whom seven demons had come out; 3Joanna the wife of Chuza, the manager of Herod’s household; Susanna; and many others. These women were helping to support them out of their own means.

4While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, he told this parable: 5‘A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path; it was trampled on, and the birds ate it up. 6Some fell on rocky ground, and when it came up, the plants withered because they had no moisture. 7Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up with it and choked the plants. 8Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up and yielded a crop, a hundred times more than was sown.’

When he said this, he called out, ‘Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear.’

9His disciples asked him what this parable meant. 10He said, ‘The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to others I speak in parables, so that,

‘ “though seeing, they may not see;

though hearing, they may not understand.”8:10 Isaiah 6:9

11‘This is the meaning of the parable: the seed is the word of God. 12Those along the path are the ones who hear, and then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved. 13Those on the rocky ground are the ones who receive the word with joy when they hear it, but they have no root. They believe for a while, but in the time of testing they fall away. 14The seed that fell among thorns stands for those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by life’s worries, riches and pleasures, and they do not mature. 15But the seed on good soil stands for those with a noble and good heart, who hear the word, retain it, and by persevering produce a crop.

A lamp on a stand

16‘No-one lights a lamp and hides it in a clay jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, they put it on a stand, so that those who come in can see the light. 17For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open. 18Therefore consider carefully how you listen. Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what they think they have will be taken from them.’

Jesus’ mother and brothers

19Now Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see him, but they were not able to get near him because of the crowd. 20Someone told him, ‘Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you.’

21He replied, ‘My mother and brothers are those who hear God’s word and put it into practice.’

Jesus calms the storm

22One day Jesus said to his disciples, ‘Let us go over to the other side of the lake.’ So they got into a boat and set out. 23As they sailed, he fell asleep. A squall came down on the lake, so that the boat was being swamped, and they were in great danger.

24The disciples went and woke him, saying, ‘Master, Master, we’re going to drown!’

He got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waters; the storm subsided, and all was calm. 25‘Where is your faith?’ he asked his disciples.

In fear and amazement they asked one another, ‘Who is this? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him.’

Jesus restores a demon-possessed man

26They sailed to the region of the Gerasenes,8:26 Some manuscripts Gadarenes; other manuscripts Gergesenes; also in verse 37 which is across the lake from Galilee. 27When Jesus stepped ashore, he was met by a demon-possessed man from the town. For a long time this man had not worn clothes or lived in a house, but had lived in the tombs. 28When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell at his feet, shouting at the top of his voice, ‘What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you, don’t torture me!’ 29For Jesus had commanded the impure spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and though he was chained hand and foot and kept under guard, he had broken his chains and had been driven by the demon into solitary places.

30Jesus asked him, ‘What is your name?’

‘Legion,’ he replied, because many demons had gone into him. 31And they begged Jesus repeatedly not to order them to go into the Abyss.

32A large herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside. The demons begged Jesus to let them go into the pigs, and he gave them permission. 33When the demons came out of the man, they went into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned.

34When those tending the pigs saw what had happened, they ran off and reported this in the town and countryside, 35and the people went out to see what had happened. When they came to Jesus, they found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting at Jesus’ feet, dressed and in his right mind; and they were afraid. 36Those who had seen it told the people how the demon-possessed man had been cured. 37Then all the people of the region of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to leave them, because they were overcome with fear. So he got into the boat and left.

38The man from whom the demons had gone out begged to go with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying, 39‘Return home and tell how much God has done for you.’ So the man went away and told all over the town how much Jesus had done for him.

Jesus raises a dead girl and heals a sick woman

40Now when Jesus returned, a crowd welcomed him, for they were all expecting him. 41Then a man named Jairus, a synagogue leader, came and fell at Jesus’ feet, pleading with him to come to his house 42because his only daughter, a girl of about twelve, was dying.

As Jesus was on his way, the crowds almost crushed him. 43And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years,8:43 Many manuscripts years, and she had spent all she had on doctors but no-one could heal her. 44She came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped.

45‘Who touched me?’ Jesus asked.

When they all denied it, Peter said, ‘Master, the people are crowding and pressing against you.’

46But Jesus said, ‘Someone touched me; I know that power has gone out from me.’

47Then the woman, seeing that she could not go unnoticed, came trembling and fell at his feet. In the presence of all the people, she told why she had touched him and how she had been instantly healed. 48Then he said to her, ‘Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace.’

49While Jesus was still speaking, someone came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader. ‘Your daughter is dead,’ he said. ‘Don’t bother the teacher anymore.’

50Hearing this, Jesus said to Jairus, ‘Don’t be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.’

51When he arrived at the house of Jairus, he did not let anyone go in with him except Peter, John and James, and the child’s father and mother. 52Meanwhile, all the people were wailing and mourning for her. ‘Stop wailing,’ Jesus said. ‘She is not dead but asleep.’

53They laughed at him, knowing that she was dead. 54But he took her by the hand and said, ‘My child, get up!’ 55Her spirit returned, and at once she stood up. Then Jesus told them to give her something to eat. 56Her parents were astonished, but he ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened.
