1 A nd it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret,

كانَ يَسُوعُ واقِفاً عِندَ بُحَيْرَةِ جَنِيْسارَتَ، وَالنّاسُ يَتَجَمهَرُونَ حَولَهُ وَيَستَمِعُونَ إلَى كَلِمَةِ اللهِ.

2 a nd saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets.

فَرَأى قارِبَيْنِ عِندَ البَحرِ. وَكانَ الصَّيّادُونَ قَدْ خَرَجُوا مِنهُما وَراحُوا يَغسِلُونَ شِباكَهُمْ.

3 A nd he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon’s, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship.

فَدَخَلَ يَسُوعُ أحَدَ القارِبَيْنِ، وهُوَ لِرَجُلٍ اسْمُهُ سِمعانُ. فَطَلَبَ إليهِ أنْ يُبعِدَ القارِبَ قَلِيلاً عَنِ البَرِّ، ثُمَّ جَلَسَ وَعَلَّمَ الجُمهُورَ مِنَ القارِبِ.

4 N ow when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.

وَلَمّا أنهَى كَلامَهُ، قالَ لِسِمْعانَ: «أبحِرْ إلَى المِياهِ العَمِيْقَةِ، وَارْمِ شِباكَكَ لِلصَّيْدِ.»

5 A nd Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.

فَأجابَ سِمْعانُ: «يا مُعَلِّمُ، لَقَدْ أنهَكَنا العَمَلُ طَوالَ اللَّيلِ وَلَمْ نُمسِكْ شَيْئاً، لَكِنِّي سَأرمِي الشِّباكَ لِأنَّكَ تَقولُ ذَلِكَ.»

6 A nd when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.

وَلَمّا فَعَلَ، أمسَكُوا بِعَدَدٍ كَبِيْرٍ مِنَ الأسماكِ حَتَّى إنَّ شِباكَهُمْ بَدَأتْ تَتَمَزَّقُ.

7 A nd they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.

فَأشارُوا إلَى شُرَكائِهِمْ فِي القارِبِ الآخَرِ لِكَيْ يَأْتُوا وَيُساعِدُوهُمْ. فَجاءُوا وَمَلأُوا القارِبَيْنِ حَتَّى أوشَكا عَلَى الغَرَقِ.

8 W hen Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.

فَلَمّا رَأى سِمعانُ بُطرُسُ هَذا، ارتَمَى عِندَ رُكبَتَي يَسُوعَ وَقالَ: «ابْتَعِدْ عَنِّي يا رّبُّ، فَأنا رَجُلٌ خاطِئٌ!»

9 F or he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken:

فَقَدْ ذُهِلَ وَكُلُّ الَّذِيْنَ مَعَهُ مِنْ كَثْرةِ السَّمَكِ الَّذِي حَصَلُوا عَلَيْهِ.

10 a nd so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men.

وَذُهِلَ أيضاً يَعقُوبُ وَيُوحَنّا ابنا زَبَدِي شَرِيْكا سِمْعانَ. ثُمَّ قالَ يَسُوعُ لِسِمعانَ: «لا تَخَفْ. أنتَ مِنَ الآنِ فَصاعِداً صَيّادٌ لِلنّاسِ!»

11 A nd when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him.

فَجاءُوا بِالقارِبَيْنِ إلَى البَرِّ، وَتَرَكُوا كُلَّ شَيءٍ وَتَبِعُوهُ. يَسُوعُ يَشفِي أبرص

12 A nd it came to pass, when he was in a certain city, behold a man full of leprosy: who seeing Jesus fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

وَبَيْنَما كانَ يَسُوعُ فِي إحدَى المُدُنِ، كانَ هُناكَ رَجُلٌ يُغَطِّي جِسمَهُ البَرَصُ. فَعِندَما رَأى يَسُوعَ، ارتَمَى عَلَى وَجهِهِ وَتَوَسَّلَ إلَيْهِ قائلاً: «يا سَيِّدُ، أنتَ قادِرٌ أنْ تَجعَلَنِي طاهِراً، إنْ أرَدْتَ.»

13 A nd he put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will: be thou clean. And immediately the leprosy departed from him.

فَمَدَّ يَسُوعُ يَدَهُ وَلَمَسَهُ وَقالَ: «نَعَمْ أُرِيْدُ، فَاطْهُرْ.» فَفِي الحالِ زالَ البَرَصُ عَنْهُ.

14 A nd he charged him to tell no man: but go, and shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, according as Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

ثُمَّ أمَرَهُ يَسُوعُ ألّا يُخبِرَ أحَداً، بَلْ قالَ لَهُ:اذْهَبْ وَأرِ نَفسَكَ لِلكاهِنِ، وَقَدِّمْ تَقدِمَةً عَنْ تَطَهُّرِكَ كَما أمَرَ مُوسَى، فَيَعلَمَ النّاسُ أنَّكَ شُفِيْتَ.»

15 B ut so much the more went there a fame abroad of him: and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by him of their infirmities.

لَكِنَّ أخبارَ يَسُوعَ كانَتْ تَزدادُ انتِشاراً. وَكانَتْ جَماهِيْرُ كَثِيْرَةٌ مِنَ النّاسِ تَأْتِي مَعاً لِتَسْمَعَهُ وَتُشْفَى مِنْ أمراضِها.

16 A nd he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed.

أمّا هُوَ فَكَثِيْراً ما كانَ يَذْهَبُ بَعِيداً عَنِ النّاسِ حَيْثُ يَخلُوَ إلَى نَفسِهِ وَيُصَلِّي. يَسُوعُ يَشفِي مَشلُولاً

17 A nd it came to pass on a certain day, as he was teaching, that there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, which were come out of every town of Galilee, and Judæa, and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was present to heal them.

وَكانَ يَسُوعُ يُعَلِّمُ ذاتَ يَومٍ، وَبَينَ الجالِسينَ فِرِّيْسِيُّونَ وَمُعَلِّمُونَ لِلشَّرِيْعَةِ جاءُوا مِنْ كُلِّ بَلدَةٍ فِي الجَلِيلِ وَاليَهُودِيَّةِ وَمِنَ مَدينَةِ القُدْسِ. وَكانَتْ قُوَّةُ الرَّبِّ للِشِّفاءِ بَيْنَ يَدَيِّ يَسُوعَ.

18 A nd, behold, men brought in a bed a man which was taken with a palsy: and they sought means to bring him in, and to lay him before him.

فَجاءَ بَعضُ الرِّجالِ يَحمِلُونَ رَجُلاً مَشلُولاً عَلَى فِراشٍ، وَحاوَلُوا أنْ يُدخِلُوهُ وَيَضَعُوهُ أمامَ يَسُوعَ.

19 A nd when they could not find by what way they might bring him in because of the multitude, they went upon the housetop, and let him down through the tiling with his couch into the midst before Jesus.

لَكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَجِدُوا طَرِيْقَةً لإدخالِهِ بِسَبَبِ الازدِحامِ، فَصَعِدُوا إلَى سَطحِ البَيتِ، وَأنزَلُوهُ عَلَى فِراشِهِ مِنْ فُتْحَةٍ فِي السَّقفِ إلَى وَسَطِ النّاسِ وَأمامَ يَسُوعَ.

20 A nd when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.

فَلَمّا رَأى يَسُوعُ إيمانَهُمْ قالَ: «يا رَجُلُ، خَطاياكَ مَغفُورَةٌ!»

21 A nd the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this which speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?

فَبَدَأ مُعَلِّمُو الشَّرِيْعَةِ وَالفِرِّيْسِيُّونَ يُفَكِّرُونَ وَيَقُولُونَ: «مَنْ هُوَ هَذا الَّذِي يُهِيْنُ اللهَ بِكَلامِهِ؟ فَمَنْ غَيْرُ اللهِ وَحدِهِ يَستَطِيْعُ أنْ يَغفِرَ الخَطايا؟»

22 B ut when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto them, What reason ye in your hearts?

فَعَرَفَ يَسُوعُ أفكارَهُمْ، وَأجابَهُمْ فَقالَ: «لِماذا تُفَكِّرُونَ هَكَذا فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ؟

23 W hether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk?

أيُّ الأمرَيْنِ أسهَلُ: أنْ يُقالَ: ‹خَطاياكَ مَغفُورَةٌ› أمْ أنْ يُقالَ: ‹انهَضْ وَامشِ؟›

24 B ut that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth to forgive sins, (he said unto the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thine house.

لَكِنِّي سَأُرِيكُمْ أنَّ ابنَ الإنسانِ يَملِكُ سُلطاناً عَلَى الأرْضِ لِمَغفِرَةِ الخَطايا.» وَقالَ لِلرَّجُلِ المَشلُولِ: «أنا أقُولُ لَكَ، انهَضْ وَاحْمِلْ فِراشَكَ وَاذْهَبْ إلَى بَيتِكَ!»

25 A nd immediately he rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying God.

فَوَقَفَ الرَّجُلُ فَوراً، وَحَمَلَ فِراشَهُ، وَذَهَبَ إلَى بَيتِهِ وَهُوَ يُمَجِّدُ اللهَ.

26 A nd they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to day.

فَذُهِلَ الجَمِيعُ، وَأخَذوا يُمَجِّدُونَ اللهَ. وَامتَلأُوا رَهبَةً وَقالوا: «لَقَدْ رَأيْنا اليَومَ أُمُوراً مُذهِلَةً!» لاوِي (مَتَّى) يَتبَعُ يَسُوع

27 A nd after these things he went forth, and saw a publican, named Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he said unto him, Follow me.

وَبَعدَ هَذا خَرَجَ يَسُوعُ وَرَأى جامِعَ ضَرائِبَ اسْمُهُ لاوِي جالِساً عِندَ مَكانِ جَمعِ الضَّرائِبِ. فَقالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «اتبَعنِي!»

28 A nd he left all, rose up, and followed him.

فَقامَ وَتَرَكَ كُلَّ شَيءٍ وَتَبِعَهُ.

29 A nd Levi made him a great feast in his own house: and there was a great company of publicans and of others that sat down with them.

وَأقامَ لاوِي مَأْدُبَةً فِي بَيتِهِ لِيَسُوعَ. وَكانَ جَمعٌ كَبِيْرٌ مِنْ جامِعِي الضَّرائِبِ وَغَيرِهِمْ يَأْكُلُونَ مَعَهُمْ.

30 B ut their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and sinners?

فَتَذَمَّرَ الفِرِّيْسِيُّونَ وَمُعَلِّمُو الشَّرِيعَةِ وَقالوا لِتَلامِيذِهِ: «لِماذا تَأْكُلُونَ وَتَشرَبُونَ مَعَ جامِعي الضَّرائِبِ وَالخُطاةِ؟»

31 A nd Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick.

فَأجابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «لا يَحتاجُ الأصِحّاءُ إلَى طَبِيبٍ، بَلِ المَرضَى.

32 I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

أنا لَمْ آتِ لِكَي أدعُوَ الصّالِحِينَ، لَكِنِّي جِئتُ لِأدعُوَ الخُطاةَ إلَى التَّوبَةِ.» سُؤالٌ حَولَ الصَّوم

33 A nd they said unto him, Why do the disciples of John fast often, and make prayers, and likewise the disciples of the Pharisees; but thine eat and drink?

وَقالُوا لَهُ: «إنَّ تَلامِيذَ يُوحَنّا يَصُومُونَ كَثِيراً وَيُصَلُّونَ، وَكَذَلِكَ يَفعَلُ تَلامِيذُ الفِرِّيْسِيِّينَ، أمّا تَلامِيذُكَ فَيَأكُلُونَ وَيَشرَبُونَ دائِماً!»

34 A nd he said unto them, Can ye make the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them?

فَقالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «أيُمكِنُكُمْ أنْ تُجبِرُوا ضُيُوفَ العَرِيسِ عَلَى الصَّومِ وَالعَرِيسُ مَعَهُمْ؟

35 B ut the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.

لَكِنْ سَيَأتِي يَومٌ يُؤخَذُ فِيهِ العِرِيسُ مِنهُمْ، فَحينَئِذٍ سَيَصُومُونَ.»

36 A nd he spake also a parable unto them; No man putteth a piece of a new garment upon an old; if otherwise, then both the new maketh a rent, and the piece that was taken out of the new agreeth not with the old.

وَرَوَى لَهُمْ أيضاً مَثَلاً فَقالَ: «ما مِنْ أحَدٍ يَنتَزِعُ رُقعَةً مِنْ ثَوبٍ جَدِيدٍ لِيَرقَعَ بِها ثَوباً قَدِيماً، لِأنَّهُ سَيُتلِفُ الثَّوبَ الجَدِيدَ، وَلَنْ تُلائِمَ الرُّقعَةُ الثَّوبَ القَدِيمَ.

37 A nd no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish.

وَما مِنْ أحَدٍ يَضَعُ نَبيذاً جَدِيداً فِي أوعِيَةٍ جِلدِيَّةٍ قَدِيمَةٍ، لِأنَّ النَّبيذَ الجَدِيدَ سَيُمَزِّقُ الأوعِيَةَ الجِلدِيَّةَ، فَيُراقَ النَّبيذُ وَتَتلَفَ الأوعِيَةُ.

38 B ut new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved.

لَكِنْ يَنبَغِي أنْ يُوضَعَ النَّبيذُ الجَدِيدُ فِي أوعِيَةٍ جِلدِيَّةٍ جَدِيدَةٍ.

39 N o man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new: for he saith, The old is better.

وَما مِنْ أحَدٍ يَشرَبُ النَّبيذَ القَدِيمَ ثُمَّ يَرغَبُ فِي الجَدِيْدِ. لِأنَّهُ يَقُولُ: «القَدِيمُ أفضَلُ.»
