1 N ow when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entered into Capernaum.

وَعِندَما أنهَى يَسُوعُ ما أرادَ أنْ يَقُولَهُ لِلنّاسِ، ذَهَبَ إلَى كَفرِناحُومَ.

2 A nd a certain centurion’s servant, who was dear unto him, was sick, and ready to die.

وَكانَ هُناكَ ضابِطٌ رُومانِيٌّ لَهُ خادِمٌ مَرِيضٌ مُوشِكٌ عَلَى المَوتِ. وَكانَ هَذا الخادِمُ عَزيزاً عِندَهُ.

3 A nd when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant.

فَلَمّا سَمِعَ الضّابِطُ عَنْ يَسُوعَ، أرسَلَ إلَيهِ بَعضَ شُيُوخِ اليَهُودِ، طالِباً إلَيهِ أنْ يَأْتِيَ وَيُنقِذَ حَياةَ خادِمِهِ.

4 A nd when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this:

فَلَمّا جاءُوا إلَى يَسُوعَ تَوَسَّلُوا إلَيهِ بِإلحاحٍ وَقالوا: «إنَّهُ يَستَحِقُّ أنْ تَفعَلَ لَهُ هَذا.

5 f or he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue.

فَهُوَ يُحِبُّ شَعبَنا، وَهُوَ الَّذِي بَنَى لَنا مَجمَعَنا.»

6 T hen Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof:

فَذَهَبَ يَسُوعُ مَعَهُمْ. وَلَمّا صارَ يَسُوعُ قَرِيباً مِنَ البَيتِ، أرسَلَ إلَيهِ الضّابِطُ الرُّومانِيُّ بَعْضَ الأصْدِقاءِ يَقُولُ لَهُ: «يا سَيِّدُ، لا تُحَمِّلْ نَفسَكَ عَناءَ المَجِيءِ، فَأنا لا أستَحِقُّ أنْ تَدخُلَ بَيتِي.

7 w herefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed.

لِهَذا لَمْ أتَجَرَّأْ عَلَى المَجِيءِ إلَيكَ. وَما عَلَيكَ إلّا أنْ تَقُولَ كَلِمَةً فَيُشفَى خادِمِي.

8 F or I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.

فَأنا نَفسِي رَجُلٌ تَحتَ سُلطَةٍ، وَلِي جُنُودٌ يَأْتَمِرُونَ بِأمرِي. أقُولُ لِهَذا الجُندِيِّ: ‹اذْهَبْ!› فَيَذهَبُ. وَأقُولُ لِآخَرَ: ‹تَعالَ!› فَيَأتِي. وَأقُولُ لِخادِمِي: ‹افعَلْ كَذا!› فَيَفعَلُهُ.»

9 W hen Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned him about, and said unto the people that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.

فَلَمّا سَمِعَ يَسُوعُ هَذا اندَهَشَ. ثُمَّ التَفَتَ إلَى النّاسِ الَّذِينَ كانُوا يَتبَعُونَهُ وَقالَ: «أقُولُ لَكُمْ إنِّي لَمْ أجِدْ مِثلَ هَذا الإيمانِ حَتَّى بَينَ بَنِي إسرائِيلَ.»

10 A nd they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole that had been sick.

فَلَمّا عادَ الَّذِيْنَ أرسَلَهُمُ الضّابِطُ إلَى البَيتِ، وَجَدُوا الخادِمَ قَدْ تَعافَى. إحياءُ ابنِ الأرمَلَة

11 A nd it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and much people.

بَعدَ ذَلِكَ، ذَهَبَ يَسُوعُ إلَى بَلدَةٍ تُدعَى نايِيْنَ يُرافِقُهُ تَلامِيذُهُ وَجَمعٌ كَبِيرٌ مِنَ النّاسِ.

12 N ow when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her.

وَعِندَ اقتِرابِهِ مِنْ بَوّابَةِ البَلدَةِ، رَأىْ شاباً مَيِّتاً يُحمَلُ إلَى خارِجِ البَلدَةِ، وَقَدْ كانَ وَحِيدَ أُمِّهِ الأرمَلَةِ. وَكانَ هُناكَ جَمعٌ كَبِيْرٌ مِنَ رِجالِ المَدِينَةِ.

13 A nd when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not.

فَلَمّا رَآها الرَّبُّ تَحَنَّنَ عَلَيها وَقالَ لَها: «لا تَبكِي.»

14 A nd he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.

وَاقتَرَبَ وَلَمَسَ التّابُوتَ، فَتَوَقَّفَ حامِلُوهُ. ثُمَّ قالَ يَسُوعُ: «أيُّها الشّابُّ،أنا أقُولُ لَكَ، انهَضْ!»

15 A nd he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother.

فَجَلَسَ المَيِّتُ مُعتَدِلاً، وَبَدَأ يَتَكَلَّمُ. فَرَدَّهُ يَسُوعُ إلَى أُمِّهِ.

16 A nd there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God hath visited his people.

فَامتَلأ الجَمِيعُ رَهبَةً، وَمَجَّدُوا اللهَ، وَقالُوا: «لَقَدْ ظَهَرَ بَينَنا نَبِيٌّ عَظِيمٌ!» وَقالُوا: «لَقَدْ جاءَ اللهُ لَيُعِينَ شَعبَهُ!»

17 A nd this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judæa, and throughout all the region round about.

وَانتَشَرَتْ أخبارُ يَسُوعَ عَبرَ إقليمِ اليَهُودِيَّةِ وَكُلِّ المَناطِقِ الرِّيفِيَّةِ المُجاوِرَةِ. سُؤالُ يُوحَنّا المَعْمَدان

18 A nd the disciples of John shewed him of all these things.

فَذَهَبَ تَلامِيذُ يُوحَنّا المَعْمَدانِ وَأخبَرُوهُ بِكُلِّ هَذِهِ الأشياءِ. فَدَعا يُوحَنّا اثْنَينِ مِنْ تَلامِيذِهِ،

19 A nd John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?

وَأرسَلَهُما إلَى الرَّبِّ لِيَسألاهُ: «هَلْ أنتَ الَّذي نَنْتَظِرُهُ، أمْ يَنبَغي أنْ نَنتَظِرَ آخَرَ؟»

20 W hen the men were come unto him, they said, John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?

فَجاءَ الرَّجُلانِ إلَيهِ وَقالا: «لَقَدْ أرسَلَنا يُوحَنّا المَعْمَدانُ لِنَسألَكَ هَلْ أنتَ الَّذي نَنْتَظِرُهُ، أمْ يَنبَغي أنْ نَنتَظِرَ آخَرَ؟»

21 A nd in that same hour he cured many of their infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto many that were blind he gave sight.

فَشَفَى يَسُوعُ فِي ذَلِكَ الوَقتِ أشخاصاً كَثِيرِينَ مِنْ أمراضِهِمُ المُختَلِفَةِ، وَطَرَدَ أرواحاً شِرِّيرَةً، وَأعطَى بَصَراً للكَثيرينَ مِنَ العُمْيانِ.

22 T hen Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached.

ثُمَّ أجابَ تِلمِيذَي يُوحَنّا فَقالَ: «اذهَبا وَأخبِرا يُوحَنّا بِما شاهَدْتُما وَسَمِعتُما: ها هُمُ العُميُ يُبصِرُونَ، وَالمُقعَدُونَ يَمشُونَ، وَالبُرْصُ يَطْهُرُونَ، وَالصُّمُّ يَسمَعُونَ، وَالمَوتَى يَحيَونَ، وَالمَساكِينُ يَسمَعُونَ البِشارَةَ.

23 A nd blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.

وَهَنِيئاً لِمَنْ لا يَتَرَدَّدُ فِي الإيمانِ بِي.»

24 A nd when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak unto the people concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness for to see? A reed shaken with the wind?

وَبَعدَ أنِ انطَلَقَ رَسُولا يُوحَنّا، بَدَأ يَسُوعُ يَتَحَدَّثُ إلَى النّاسِ عَنْ يُوحَنّا فَقالَ: «ما الَّذِي خَرَجتُمْ إلَى البَرِّيَّةِ لِتَرَوهُ؟ قَصَبَةً تُؤَرجِحُها الرِّيحُ؟

25 B ut what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they which are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings’ courts.

إذاً ما الَّذِي خَرَجتُمْ لِتَرَوهُ؟ رَجُلاً يَلبَسُ ثِياباً ناعِمَةً؟ إنَّ الَّذِينَ يَلبَسُونَ الثِّيابَ النّاعِمَةَ وَيَعِيشُونَ عِيشَةَ التَّرَفِ هُمْ فِي قُصُورِ المُلُوكِ.

26 B ut what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.

إذاً ما الَّذِي خَرَجتُمْ لِتَرَوهُ؟ نَبِيّاً؟ هُوَ كَذَلِكَ. بَلْ إنِّي أقُولُ لَكُمْ إنَّكُمْ رَأيتُمْ مَنْ هُوَ أعظَمُ مِنْ نَبِيٍّ!

27 T his is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.

فَهَذا هُوَ الَّذِي كُتِبَ عَنهُ: ‹ها أنا أُرسِلُ رَسُولِي قُدّامَكَ. لِيُعِدَّ الطَّرِيقَ أمامَكَ.›

28 F or I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.

لَيسَ بَينَ الَّذِينَ وَلَدَتهُمُ النِّساءُ مَنْ هُوَ أعظَمُ مِنْ يُوحَنّا، غَيرَ أنَّ أقَلَّ شَخصٍ فِي مَلَكُوتِ اللهِ أعظَمُ مِنهُ.»

29 A nd all the people that heard him, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.

فَكُلُّ الَّذِينَ سَمِعُوا هَذا، حَتَّى جامِعُو الضَّرائِبِ، أقَرُّوا بِصِدقِ رِسالَةِ اللهِ، وَتَعَمَّدوا بِمَعمُودِيَّةِ يُوحَنّا.

30 B ut the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized of him.

أمّا الفِرِّيْسِيِّونَ وَمُعَلِّمو الشَّرِيعَةِ فَقَدْ رَفَضُوا الخُضُوعَ لِخُطَّةِ اللهِ، وَلَمْ يَتَعَمَّدوا عَلَى يَدَي يُوحَنّا.

31 A nd the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like?

وَقالَ يَسُوعُ: «بِماذا أُشَبِّهُ النّاسَ فِي هَذا الجِيلِ؟ وَكَيفَ أصِفُهُمْ؟

32 T hey are like unto children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept.

إنَّهُمْ كَأطفالٍ يَجلِسُونَ فِي السُّوقِ. فَتُنادِي جَماعَةٌ مِنهُمْ أُخْرَى فَتَقُولُ: ‹زَمَّرْنا لَكُمْ، فَلَمْ تَرقُصُوا. وَغَنَّيْنا لَكُمْ أغانِيَ الجَنازاتِ، فَلَمْ تَبكُوا!›

33 F or John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil.

فَقَدْ جاءَ يُوحَنّا المَعْمَدانُ لا يَأْكُلُ كَالآخَرِينَ وَلا يَشرَبُ نَبِيذاً كَالآخَرِيْنَ. فَقُلتُمْ: ‹فِيهِ رُوحٌ شِرِّيرٌ.›

34 T he Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!

ثُمَّ جاءَ ابنُ الإنسانِ يَأكُلُ كَالآخَرِينَ وَيَشرَبُ النَّبِيذَ. فَقُلتُمْ: ‹إنَّهُ شَرِهٌ وَسِكِّيرٌ، وَصَدِيقٌ لِجامِعِي الضَّرائِبِ وَالخُطاةِ!›

35 B ut wisdom is justified of all her children.

لَكِنَّ ثِمارَ الحِكْمَةِ هِيَ الَّتِي تُثبِتُ أنَّها حِكْمَةٌ صَحِيحَةٌ.» أحَبَّتْ يَسُوعَ كَثيراً

36 A nd one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee’s house, and sat down to meat.

وَدَعا أحَدُ الفِرِّيسِيِّينَ يَسُوعَ لِيَأكُلَ مَعَهُ، فَذَهَبَ إلَى بَيتِهِ، وَجَلَسَ إلَى المائِدَةِ.

37 A nd, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster box of ointment,

وَكانَتْ هُناكَ امْرأةٌ خاطِئَةٌ فِي المَدِينَةِ. فَلَمّا عَلِمَتْ أنَّ يَسُوعَ يَتَناوَلُ الطَّعامَ فِي بَيتِ الفِرِّيْسِيِّ، أحضَرَتْ قارُورَةً مِنَ المَرمَرِ مَلِيئَةً بِالعِطرِ،

38 a nd stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.

وَوَقَفَتْ خَلفَ يَسُوعَ عِندَ قَدَمَيهِ، وَهِيَ تَنُوحُ وَتُبَلِّلُ قَدَمَيهِ بِدُمُوعِها. ثُمَّ مَسَحَتْهُما بِشَعرِها. وَقَبَّلَتْ قَدَمَيهِ وَسَكَبَتِ العِطرَ عَلَيهِما.

39 N ow when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner.

فَرَأى الفِرِّيسِيُّ الَّذِي دَعاهُ ما حَدَثَ وَقالَ فِي نَفسِهِ: «لَو كانَ هَذا الرَّجُلُ نَبِيّاً، لَعَرَفَ مَنْ هِيَ هَذِهِ المَرأةُ الَّتِي تَلمَسُهُ، وَأيُّ نَوعٍ مِنَ النِّساءِ هِيَ. وَلَعَرَفَ أنَّها خاطِئَةٌ.»

40 A nd Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on.

فَقالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «لَدَيَّ ما أقُولُهُ لَكَ يا سِمعانُ.» فَرَدَّ سِمعانُ: «قُلْ يا مُعَلِّمُ.»

41 T here was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.

فَقالَ يَسُوعُ: «كانَ هُناكَ رَجُلانِ مَديُونانِ لِرَجُلٍ مُرابي. أحَدُهُما بِخَمسِ مِئَةِ دِينارٍ، وَالآخَرُ بِخَمسِينَ.

42 A nd when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?

وَإذْ كانا عاجِزَينِ عَنِ السَّدادِ، تَكَرَّمَ الرَّجُلُ فَشَطَبَ دَينَهُما. فَمَنْ مِنهُما يَكُونُ أكثَرَ حُبّاً لَهُ؟»

43 S imon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.

أجابَ سِمعانُ: «أظُنُّ أنَّهُ الَّذِي شَطَبَ لَهُ الدَّينَ الأكبَرَ.» فَقالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «أصَبْتَ فِي حُكمِكَ.»

44 A nd he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.

وَقالَ لِسِمعانَ مُلتَفِتاً إلَى المَرأةِ: «هَلْ تَرَى هَذِهِ المَرأةَ؟ لَقَدْ جِئتُ إلَى بَيتِكَ فَلَمْ تُعطِنِي ماءً لِأغسِلَ رِجلَيَّ، أمّا هِيَ فَقَدْ بَلَّلَتْ قَدَمَيَّ بِدُمُوعِها، وَمَسَحَتهُما بِشَعرِها.

45 T hou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet.

أنتَ لَمْ تُقَبِّلنِي قُبلَةَ تَرحِيبٍ. أمّا هِيَ فَلَمْ تَتَوَقَّفْ عَنْ تَقبِيلِ قَدَمَيَّ مُنذُ دَخَلتُ.

46 M y head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment.

أنتَ لَمْ تَدهَنْ رَأسِي بِزَيتٍ، أمّا هِيَ فَدَهَنَتْ قَدَمَيَّ بِالعِطرِ.

47 W herefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.

لِهَذا أقُولُ لَكَ إنَّ خَطاياها الكَثِيرَةَ قَدْ غُفِرَتْ، بِدَليلِ أنَّها أظهَرَتْ حُبّاً كَثيراً. أمّا الَّذي تُغفَرُ لَهُ خَطايا قَليلَةٌ، فَإنَّهُ يُحِبُّ قَليلاً.»

48 A nd he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.

ثُمَّ قالَ لَها: «خَطاياكِ قَدْ غُفِرَتْ.»

49 A nd they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?

فَبَدَأ الجالِسونَ إلَى المائِدَةِ مَعَهُ يَقُولُونَ بَعضُهُمْ لِبَعضٍ: «مَنْ هَذا الَّذِي يَقدِرُ حَتَّى أنْ يَغفِرَ الخَطايا؟»

50 A nd he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.

أمّا يَسُوعُ فَقالَ لِلمَرأةِ: «لَقَدْ خَلَّصَكِ إيمانُكِ، فَاذهَبِي بِسَلامٍ.»
