የጌቴሴማኒው ምጥ

በዚያን ጊዜ ኢየሱስ ከእነርሱ ጋር ጌቴሴማኒ ወደምትባል ስፍራ መጣ ደቀ መዛሙርቱንም። ወዲያ ሄጄ ስጸልይ ሳለ በዚህ ተቀመጡ አላቸው። ጴጥሮስንም ሁለቱንም የዘብዴዎስን ልጆች ወስዶ ሊያዝን ሊተክዝም ጀመር። ነፍሴ እስከ ሞት ድረስ እጅግ አዘነች፤ በዚህ ቆዩ ከእኔም ጋር ትጉ አላቸው። ጥቂትም ወደ ፊት እልፍ ብሎ በፊቱ ወደቀና ሲጸልይ። አባቴ፥ ቢቻልስ፥ ይህች ጽዋ ከእኔ ትለፍ፤ ነገር ግን አንተ እንደምትወድ ይሁን እንጂ እኔ እንደምወድ አይሁን አለ። ወደ ደቀ መዛሙርቱም መጣ፤ ተኝተውም አገኛቸውና ጴጥሮስን። እንዲሁም ከእኔ ጋር አንዲት ሰዓት እንኳ ልትተጉ አልቻላችሁምን? ወደ ፈተና እንዳትገቡ ትጉና ጸልዩ፤ መንፈስስ ተዘጋጅታለች ሥጋ ግን ደካማ ነው አለው። ደግሞ ሁለተኛ ሄዶ ጸለየና። አባቴ፥ ይህች ጽዋ ሳልጠጣት ታልፍ ዘንድ የማይቻል እንደ ሆነ፥ ፈቃድህ ትሁን አለ። ደግሞም መጥቶ ዓይኖቻቸው በእንቅልፍ ከብደው ነበርና ተኝተው አገኛቸው። ደግሞም ትቶአቸው ሄደ፥ ሦስተኛም ያንኑ ቃል ደግሞ ጸለየ። ከዚያ ወዲያ ወደ ደቀ መዛሙርቱ መጥቶ። እንግዲህስ ተኙ ዕረፉም፤ እነሆ፥ ሰዓቲቱ ቀርባለች የሰው ልጅም በኃጢአተኞች እጅ አልፎ ይሰጣል። ተነሡ፥ እንሂድ፤ እነሆ፥ አሳልፎ የሚሰጠኝ ቀርቦአል አላቸው።

Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.” He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him, and he began to be sorrowful and troubled. Then he said to them, “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.” Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.” Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. “Couldn’t you men keep watch with me for one hour?” he asked Peter. “Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” He went away a second time and prayed, “My Father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be done.” When he came back, he again found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy. So he left them and went away once more and prayed the third time, saying the same thing. Then he returned to the disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Look, the hour has come, and the Son of Man is delivered into the hands of sinners. Rise! Let us go! Here comes my betrayer!”
