11:1
Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ εἶναι αὐτὸν ἐν τόπῳ τινὶ προσευχόμενον, ὡς ἐπαύσατο, εἶπέν τις τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ πρὸς αὐτόν· κύριε, δίδαξον ἡμᾶς προσεύχεσθαι, καθὼς καὶ Ἰωάννης ἐδίδαξεν τοὺς μαθητὰς αὐτοῦ.
Et factum est : cum esset in quodam loco orans, ut cessavit, dixit unus ex discipulis ejus ad eum : Domine, doce nos orare, sicut docuit et Joannes discipulos suos.

When he finished praying in a certain place, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John also taught his disciples.”
11:2
εἶπεν δὲ αὐτοῖς· ὅταν προσεύχησθε, λέγετε· πάτερ, ἁγιασθήτω τὸ ὄνομά σου· ἐλθάτω ἡ βασιλεία σου·
Et ait illis : Cum oratis, dicite : Pater, sanctificetur nomen tuum. Adveniat regnum tuum.

He said to them, “When you pray, say, ‘Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy. May your Kingdom come. May your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.

Καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς· τίς ἐξ ὑμῶν ἕξει φίλον, καὶ πορεύσεται πρὸς αὐτὸν μεσονυκτίου καὶ εἴπῃ αὐτῷ· φίλε, χρῆσόν μοι τρεῖς ἄρτους,

and he from within will answer and say, ‘Don’t bother me. The door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I can’t get up and give it to you’?

11:14
Καὶ ἦν ἐκβάλλων δαιμόνιον, καὶ αὐτὸ ἦν κωφόν· ἐγένετο δὲ τοῦ δαιμονίου ἐξελθόντος ἐλάλησεν ὁ κωφός. καὶ ἐθαύμασαν οἱ ὄχλοι·

He was casting out a demon, and it was mute. When the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke; and the multitudes marveled.
11:15
τινὲς δὲ ἐξ αὐτῶν εἶπον· ἐν Βεελζεβοὺλ τῷ ἄρχοντι τῶν δαιμονίων ἐκβάλλει τὰ δαιμόνια·

But some of them said, “He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons.”

But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation. A house divided against itself falls.
11:18
εἰ δὲ καὶ ὁ σατανᾶς ἐφ’ ἑαυτὸν διεμερίσθη, πῶς σταθήσεται ἡ βασιλεία αὐτοῦ; ὅτι λέγετε ἐν Βεελζεβοὺλ ἐκβάλλειν με τὰ δαιμόνια.

If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul.
11:19
εἰ δὲ ἐγὼ ἐν Βεελζεβοὺλ ἐκβάλλω τὰ δαιμόνια, οἱ υἱοὶ ὑμῶν ἐν τίνι ἐκβάλλουσιν; διὰ τοῦτο αὐτοὶ κριταὶ ἔσονται ὑμῶν.

But if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.
11:20

Stulti ! nonne qui fecit quod deforis est, etiam id quod deintus est fecit ?
ኦ አብዳን አኮኑ ዘፈጠረ እንተ አፍኣ ወእንተ ውሥጥኒ ፈጠረ።
You foolish ones, didn’t he who made the outside make the inside also?
11:41
πλὴν τὰ ἐνόντα δότε ἐλεημοσύνην, καὶ ἰδοὺ πάντα καθαρὰ ὑμῖν ἐστιν.
Verumtamen quod superest, date eleemosynam : et ecce omnia munda sunt vobis.
ወባሕቱ ዘይትፈቀድሰ ሀቡ ለምጽዋት ወኵሉ ንጹሐ ይከውነክሙ።
But give for gifts to the needy those things which are within, and behold, all things will be clean to you.
11:42
ἀλλὰ οὐαὶ ὑμῖν τοῖς Φαρισαίοις, ὅτι ἀποδεκατοῦτε τὸ ἡδύοσμον καὶ τὸ πήγανον καὶ πᾶν λάχανον, καὶ παρέρχεσθε τὴν κρίσιν καὶ τὴν ἀγάπην τοῦ θεοῦ· ταῦτα ἔδει ποιῆσαι κἀκεῖνα μὴ παρεῖναι.
Sed vae vobis, pharisaeis, quia decimatis mentham, et rutam, et omne olus, et praeteritis judicium et caritatem Dei : haec autem oportuit facere, et illa non omittere.
አሌ ለክሙ ጸሐፍት ወፈሪሳውያን እለ ታበውኡ ዐሥራተ እዴሁ ለአዛብ ወለጼናታም ወለኵሉ አሕማላት ወትትዔወርዎ ለጽድቅ ወለፍቀረ እግዚአብሔር ወዘንተኒ ርቱዕ ትግበሩ ወዝክተኒ ኢትኅድጉ።
But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, but you bypass justice and God’s love. You ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone.
11:43
οὐαὶ ὑμῖν τοῖς Φαρισαίοις, ὅτι ἀγαπᾶτε τὴν πρωτοκαθεδρίαν ἐν ταῖς συναγωγαῖς καὶ τοὺς ἀσπασμοὺς ἐν ταῖς ἀγοραῖς.
Vae vobis, pharisaeis, quia diligitis primas cathedras in synagogis, et salutationes in foro.
አሌ ለክሙ ጸሐፍት ወፈሪሳውያን መደልዋን እስመ ታፈቅሩ ነቢረ ፍጽም በውስተ አዕዋዳት ወተአምኆ በውስተ ምሥያጣት።
Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.
11:44
οὐαὶ ὑμῖν, ὅτι ἐστὲ ὡς τὰ μνημεῖα τὰ ἄδηλα, καὶ οἱ ἄνθρωποι οἱ περιπατοῦντες ἐπάνω οὐκ οἴδασιν.
Vae vobis, quia estis ut monumenta, quae non apparent, et homines ambulantes supra, nesciunt.
አሌ ለክሙ ጸሐፍት ወፈሪሳውያን መደልዋን እስመ አንትሙ ከመ መቃብር ዘኢይትዐወቅ ዘያንሶሱ ሰብእ ላዕሌሁ ወኢየአምሮ።
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like hidden graves, and the men who walk over them don’t know it.”
11:45
Ἀποκριθεὶς δέ τις τῶν νομικῶν λέγει αὐτῷ· διδάσκαλε, ταῦτα λέγων καὶ ἡμᾶς ὑβρίζεις.
Respondens autem quidam ex legisperitis, ait illi : Magister, haec dicens etiam contumeliam nobis facis.
ወአውሥአ አሐዱ እምጸሐፍተ ሀገር ወይቤሎ ሊቅ ዘንተ እንዘ ትብል ኪያነሁ ትጼእል።
One of the lawyers answered him, “Teacher, in saying this you insult us also.”
11:46
ὁ δὲ εἶπεν· καὶ ὑμῖν τοῖς νομικοῖς οὐαί, ὅτι φορτίζετε τοὺς ἀνθρώπους φορτία δυσβάστακτα, καὶ αὐτοὶ ἑνὶ τῶν δακτύλων ὑμῶν οὐ προσψαύετε τοῖς φορτίοις.
At ille ait : Et vobis legisperitis vae : quia oneratis homines oneribus, quae portare non possunt, et ipsi uno digito vestro non tangitis sarcinas.
ወይቤሎ ለክሙሂ ለጸሐፍተ ሀገር አሌ ለክሙ እስመ ታጸውርዎ ለሰብእ ጾረ ክቡደ ወለሊክሙሰ ኢትለክፍዎ ጥቀ በአሐቲ አጽባዕትክሙ ለውእቱ ጾር።
He said, “Woe to you lawyers also! For you load men with burdens that are difficult to carry, and you yourselves won’t even lift one finger to help carry those burdens.
11:47
οὐαὶ ὑμῖν, ὅτι οἰκοδομεῖτε τὰ μνημεῖα τῶν προφητῶν, καὶ οἱ πατέρες ὑμῶν ἀπέκτειναν αὐτούς.
Vae vobis, qui aedificatis monumenta prophetarum : patres autem vestri occiderunt illos.
አሌ ለክሙ ጸሐፍት ወፈሪሳውያን እስመ ተሐንጹ መቃብሪሆሙ ለነቢያት እለ አበዊክሙ ቀተልዎሙ።
Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
11:48
ἄρα μάρτυρές ἐστε καὶ συνευδοκεῖτε τοῖς ἔργοις τῶν πατέρων ὑμῶν, ὅτι αὐτοὶ μὲν ἀπέκτειναν αὐτοὺς ὑμεῖς δὲ οἰκοδομεῖτε.
Profecto testificamini quod consentitis operibus patrum vestrorum : quoniam ipsi quidem eos occiderunt, vos autem aedificatis eorum sepulchra.
አደመክሙኑ ምግባሮሙ ለአበዊክሙ ወለሊክሙ ሰማዕቶሙ እስመ ዘእሙንቱ ቀተሉ አንትሙ ተሐንጹ መቃብሪሆሙ።
So you testify and consent to the works of your fathers. For they killed them, and you build their tombs.
11:49
διὰ τοῦτο καὶ ἡ σοφία τοῦ θεοῦ εἶπεν· ἀποστελῶ εἰς αὐτοὺς προφήτας καὶ ἀποστόλους, καὶ ἐξ αὐτῶν ἀποκτενοῦσιν καὶ ἐκδιώξουσιν,
Propterea et sapientia Dei dixit : Mittam ad illos prophetas, et apostolos, et ex illis occident, et persequentur :
ወበእንተ ዝንቱ ትቤ ጥበቢሁ ለእግዚአብሔር ናሁ አነ እፌኑ ኀቤሆሙ ነቢያተ ወሐዋርያተ ወይቀትሉ እምኔሆሙ ወይሰድዱ።
Therefore also the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send to them prophets and apostles; and some of them they will kill and persecute,
11:50
ἵνα ἐκζητηθῇ τὸ αἷμα πάντων τῶν προφητῶν τὸ ἐκχυννόμενον ἀπὸ καταβολῆς κόσμου ἀπὸ τῆς γενεᾶς ταύτης,
ut inquiratur sanguis omnium prophetarum, qui effusus est a constitutione mundi a generatione ista,
ከመ ይትበቀሎሙ በእንተ ደመ ኵሉ ነቢያት ዘተክዕወ እምፍጥረተ ዓለም እስከ ዛቲ ትውልድ።
that the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation,
11:51
ἀπὸ αἵματος Ἄβελ ἕως αἵματος Ζαχαρίου τοῦ ἀπολομένου μεταξὺ τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου καὶ τοῦ οἴκου· ναί λέγω ὑμῖν, ἐκζητηθήσεται ἀπὸ τῆς γενεᾶς ταύτης.
a sanguine Abel, usque ad sanguinem Zachariae, qui periit inter altare et aedem. Ita dico vobis, requiretur ab hac generatione.
እምደመ አቤል ጻድቅ እስከ ደመ ዘካርያስ ዘቀተልዎ በማእከለ ቤተ መቅደስ ወምሥዋዕ እወ እብለክሙ ይትኀሠሥዋ ወይትቤቀልዋ ለዛቲ ትውልድ።
from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zachariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary.’ Yes, I tell you, it will be required of this generation.
11:52
οὐαὶ ὑμῖν τοῖς νομικοῖς, ὅτι ἤρατε τὴν κλεῖδα τῆς γνώσεως· αὐτοὶ οὐκ εἰσήλθατε καὶ τοὺς εἰσερχομένους ἐκωλύσατε.
Vae vobis, legisperitis, quia tulistis clavem scientiae : ipsi non introistis, et eos qui introibant, prohibuistis.
አሌ ለክሙ ጸሐፍተ ሀገር ወፈሪሳውያን እስመ ትነሥኡ መራኁተ ጽድቅ ወአእምሮ ወተኀብኡ ለሊክሙኒ ኢትበውኡ ወለእለሂ ይበውኡ ትከልእዎሙ በዊአ።
Woe to you lawyers! For you took away the key of knowledge. You didn’t enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in, you hindered.”
11:53
Κἀκεῖθεν ἐξελθόντος αὐτοῦ ἤρξαντο οἱ γραμματεῖς καὶ οἱ Φαρισαῖοι δεινῶς ἐνέχειν καὶ ἀποστοματίζειν αὐτὸν περὶ πλειόνων,
Cum autem haec ad illos diceret, coeperunt pharisaei et legisperiti graviter insistere, et os ejus opprimere de multis,
ወእንዘ ይነግሮሙ ዘንተ በቅድመ ኵሉ ሕዝብ አኀዙ ጸሐፍት ወፈሪሳውያን ያመንዝዝዎ ወይትቀየምዎ።
As he said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to be terribly angry, and to draw many things out of him,
11:54
ἐνεδρεύοντες, θηρεῦσαί τι ἐκ τοῦ στόματος αὐτοῦ.
insidiantes ei, et quaerentes aliquid capere de ore ejus, ut accusarent eum.
ወይንዕውዎ ከመ ያስሕትዎ በቃለ አፉሁ በዘያስተዋድይዎ።
lying in wait for him, and seeking to catch him in something he might say, that they might accuse him.
