1 T hen Jesus, full of and controlled by the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led in the Spirit

وَعادَ يَسُوعُ مِنْ نَهرِ الأُردُنِّ مَملُوءاً مِنَ الرُّوحِ القُدُسِ، وَقادَهُ الرُّوحُ القُدُسُ إلَى البَرِّيَّةِ.

2 F or (during) forty days in the wilderness (desert), where He was tempted ( tried, tested exceedingly) by the devil. And He ate nothing during those days, and when they were completed, He was hungry.

وَهُناكَ كانَ إبلِيْسُ يُغرِيْهِ بِالخَطِيَّةِ أربَعِيْنَ يَوماً، وَلَمْ يَأْكُلْ شَيئاً أثناءَ تِلكَ الفَترَةِ، لَكِنَّهُ جاعَ في نِهايَتِها.

3 T hen the devil said to Him, If You are the Son of God, order this stone to turn into a loaf.

فَقالَ لَهُ إبلِيْسُ: «إنْ كُنتَ ابنَ اللهِ، فَمُرْ هَذا الحَجَرَ بِأنْ يُصبِحَ خُبزاً.»

4 A nd Jesus replied to him, It is written, Man shall not live and be sustained by (on) bread alone but by every word and expression of God.

فَأجابَهُ يَسُوعُ: «يَقُولُ الكِتابُ: ‹لا يَعِيْشُ الإنسانُ عَلَى الخُبزِ وَحدَهُ.›»

5 T hen the devil took Him up to a high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the habitable world in a moment of time '> in the twinkling of an eye].

ثُمَّ قادَهُ إبلِيْسُ إلَى مَكانٍ عالٍ، وَعَرَضَ أمامَ عَينَيْهِ كُلَّ مَمالِكِ العالَمِ فِي لَحظَةٍ مِنَ الزَّمَنِ.

6 A nd he said to Him, To You I will give all this power and authority and their glory (all their magnificence, excellence, preeminence, dignity, and grace), for it has been turned over to me, and I give it to whomever I will.

وَقالَ لَهُ: «أُعطِيكَ السُّلطانَ عَلَى هَذِهِ المَمالِكِ كُلِّها وَما فِيْها مِنْ مَجدٍ. فَقَدْ أُعطِيَتْ لِي، وَفِي مَقدُورِي أنْ أُعطِيَها لِمَنْ أشاءُ.

7 T herefore if You will do homage to and worship me '> just once], it shall all be Yours.

فَإنْ سَجَدْتَ لِي، سَتَكُونُ لَكَ كُلُّها.»

8 A nd Jesus replied to him, Get behind Me, Satan! It is written, You shall do homage to and worship the Lord your God, and Him only shall you serve.

أجابَ يَسُوعُ وَقالَ لَهُ: «مَكتُوبٌ: ‹يَنبَغِي أنْ تَعبُدَ الرَّبَّ إلَهَكَ، وَأنْ تَسْجُدَ لَهُ وَحدَهُ.›»

9 T hen he took Him to Jerusalem and set Him on a gable of the temple, and said to Him, If You are the Son of God, cast Yourself down from here;

ثُمَّ أخَذَهُ إبلِيسُ إلَى مَدينَةِ القُدْسِ. وَأوقَفَهُ عَلَى قِمَّةِ الهَيكَلِ. وَقالَ لَهُ: «إنْ كُنتَ حَقّاً ابْنَ اللهِ، فَارْمِ بِنَفسِكَ مِنْ هُنا إلَى أسفَلَ،

10 F or it is written, He will give His angels charge over you to guard and watch over you closely and carefully;

لِأنَّهُ مَكتُوبٌ: ‹يُوصِي اللهُ مَلائِكَتَهُ بِكَ لِكَيْ يَحرُسُوكَ.›

11 A nd on their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone.

وَإنَّهُمْ: ‹سَيَحْمِلونَكَ عَلَى أيادِيْهِمْ، لِئَلّا تَرتَطِمَ قَدَمُكَ بِحَجَرٍ.›»

12 A nd Jesus replied to him, says, You shall not tempt (try, test exceedingly) the Lord your God.

فَأجابَ يَسُوعُ وَقالَ لَهُ: «مَكْتوبٌ أيضاً: ‹لا تَمتَحِنِ الرَّبَّ إلَهَكَ.›»

13 A nd when the devil had ended every temptation, he left Him '> stood off from Him] until another more opportune and favorable time.

وَلَمّا اسْتَنْفَدَ إبلِيْسُ كُلَّ مُحاوَلَةٍ لإغراءِ يَسوعِ، تَرَكَهَ إلَى أنْ تَحِيْنَ فُرْصَةٌ ثانِيَةٌ. يَسُوعُ يُعَلِّمُ النّاس

14 T hen Jesus went back full of and under the power of the Spirit into Galilee, and the fame of Him spread through the whole region round about.

وَعادَ يَسُوعُ إلَى إقليمِ الجَلِيلِ بِقُوَّةِ الرُّوحِ القُدُسِ. وَانتَشَرَتْ أخبارُهُ عَبْرَ مَناطِقِ ألأريافِ كُلِّها.

15 A nd He Himself conducted '> a course of] teaching in their synagogues, being recognized and honored and praised by all.

فَعَلَّمَ فِي مِجامِعِهِمْ، وَكانَ الجَمِيعُ يَمدَحُونَهُ. يَسُوعُ فِي مَدينَتِه

16 S o He came to Nazareth, '> that Nazareth] where He had been brought up, and He entered the synagogue, as was His custom on the Sabbath day. And He stood up to read.

ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ يَسُوعُ إلَى النّاصِرَةِ حَيثُ نَشَأ. وَفِي يَومِ السَّبْتِ ذَهَبَ إلَى المَجمَعِ كَعادَتِهِ، وَوَقَفَ لِيَقْرَأ.

17 A nd there was handed to Him the book of the prophet Isaiah. He opened (unrolled) the book and found the place where it was written,

فَأعطُوهُ كِتابَ النَّبِيِّ إشَعْياء. فَبَسَطَ المَخطُوطَةَ وَوَجَدَ المَكانَ الَّذِي كُتِبَ فِيهِ:

18 T he Spirit of the Lord upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the good news (the Gospel) to the poor; He has sent Me to announce release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to send forth as delivered those who are oppressed,

«رُوحُ الرَّبِّ عَلَيَّ، لِأنَّهُ مَسَحَنِي لِكَي أُعلِنَ البِشارَةَ لِلفُقَراءِ. أرسَلَنِي لِأُنادِيَ لِلأسرَى بِالحُرِّيَّةِ، وَبِالبَصَرِ لِلعِميانِ، وَلِأُحَرِّرَ المَسحُوقِيْنَ مِنَ الأسْرِ،

19 T o proclaim the accepted and acceptable year of the Lord '> when salvation and the free favors of God profusely abound].

وَأُعلِنَ أنَّ وَقتَ الرَّبِّ لِلقُبُولِ قَدْ جاءَ.»

20 T hen He rolled up the book and gave it back to the attendant and sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were gazing at Him.

ثُمَّ طَوَى الكِتابَ وَأعادَهُ إلَى الخادِمِ وَجَلَسَ. وَكانَتْ عُيُونُ كُلِّ الَّذِيْنَ فِي المَجمَعِ مُثَبَّتَةً عَليهِ.

21 A nd He began to speak to them: Today this Scripture has been fulfilled while you are present and hearing.

فَبَدَأ يَقولُ لَهُمْ: «لَقَدْ تَحَقَّقَ اليَومُ هَذا الكَلامُ الَّذِي سَمِعْتُمُوهُ.»

22 A nd all spoke well of Him and marveled at the words of grace that came forth from His mouth; and they said, Is not this Joseph’s Son?

وَكانَ الجَمِيعُ يَمدَحُونَهُ، مُندَهِشِيْنَ مِنَ الكَلِماتِ الجَمِيلَةِ الَّتِي تَخرُجُ مِنْ فَمِهِ، غَيْرَ أنَّهُمْ كانُوا يَقُولُونَ: «ألَيْسَ هَذا ابْنَ يُوسُفَ؟»

23 S o He said to them, You will doubtless quote to Me this proverb: Physician, heal Yourself! What we have learned by hearsay that You did in Capernaum, do here also in Your town.

فَقالَ لَهُمْ: «بِالطَّبْعِ سَتَسْتَشْهِدُونَ بِالقَولِ المَأْثُورِ: ‹أيُّها الطَّبِيْبُ، اشْفِ نَفسَكَ أوَّلاً.› فَافْعَلْ هُنا فِي بَلدَتِكَ كُلَّ الأشياءِ الَّتِي سَمِعْنا أنَّكَ فَعَلْتَها فِي كَفْرِناحُومَ.»

24 T hen He said, Solemnly I say to you, no prophet is acceptable and welcome in his town (country).

فَقالَ لَهُمْ: «أقُولُ الحَقَّ لَكُمْ: لا يُقبَلُ نَبِيٌّ فِي وَطَنِهِ.

25 B ut in truth I tell you, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heavens were closed up for three years and six months, so that there came a great famine over all the land;

«أقُولُ الحَقَّ لَكُمْ: إنَّهُ كانَتْ هُناكَ أرامِلُ كَثِيراتٌ فِي إسرائِيلَ فِي زَمَنِ إيلِيّا. فِي ذَلِكَ الوَقتِ، انحَبَسَتِ الأمطارُ ثَلاثَ سَنَواتٍ وَسِتَّةَ أشهُرٍ، وَأصابَتِ المِنطَقَةَ كُلَّها مَجاعَةٌ عَظِيْمَةٌ.

26 A nd yet Elijah was not sent to a single one of them, but only to Zarephath in the country of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow.

وَلَمْ يُرسَلْ إيلِيّا إلَى أيٍّ مِنْ هَؤُلاءِ الأرامِلِ، بَلْ أرسَلَهُ اللهُ إلَى أرمَلَةٍ فِي بَلدَةِ صِرْفَةَ فِي مِنْطَقَةِ صَيْداءَ.

27 A nd there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, and yet not one of them was cleansed —but only Naaman the Syrian.

«كَما كانَ هُناكَ بُرْصٌ كَثِيْرُونَ فِي إسْرائِيلَ فِي زَمَنِ النَّبِيِّ ألِيْشَعَ. وَلَمْ يُطَهَّرْ أحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ إلّا نُعمانُ السِّرْيانِيُّ.»

28 W hen they heard these things, all the people in the synagogue were filled with rage.

فَامْتَلأ كُلُّ الَّذِيْنَ فِي المَجمَعِ غَضَباً عِندَما سَمِعُوا هَذا،

29 A nd rising up, they pushed and drove Him out of the town, and they led Him to the upper part of the hill on which their town was built, that they might hurl Him headlong down.

فَقامُوا وَألقَوْا بِهِ خارِجَ المَدِيْنَةِ. وَأخَذُوهُ إلَى حافَّةِ التَّلَّةِ الَّتِي كانَتْ بَلدَتُهُمْ مَبنِيَّةً عَلَيْها، لِكَيْ يَطرَحُوهُ مِنْ فَوقِ الهاوِيَةِ إلَى أسْفَلَ.

30 B ut passing through their midst, He went on His way.

لَكِنَّهُ عَبَرَ مِنْ وَسَطِهِمْ، وَمَضَى فِي طَرِيْقِهِ. يَسُوعُ يَشفِي رَجُلاً فِيْهِ رُوحٌ نَجِسٌ

31 A nd He descended to Capernaum, a town of Galilee, and there He continued to teach the people on the Sabbath days.

ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ إلَى كَفْرِناحُومَ فِي إقليمِ الجَلِيلِ، وَكانَ يُعَلِّمُهُمْ يَومَ السَّبْتِ.

32 A nd they were amazed at His teaching, for His word was with authority and ability and weight and power.

فَذُهِلُوا مِنْ تَعلِيْمِهِ، لِأنَّهُ كانَ يَتَكَلَّمُ بِسُلطانٍ.

33 N ow in the synagogue there was a man who was possessed by the foul spirit of a demon; and he cried out with a loud (deep, terrible) cry,

«وَكانَ فِي المَجمَعِ رَجُلٌ يَسْكُنُهُ رُوحٌ شِرِّيرٌ نَجِسٌ، فَصَرَخَ الرُّوحُ بِصَوتٍ عالٍ:

34 A h, let us alone! What have You to do with us '> we in common], Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know Who You are—the Holy One of God!

«مَهلاً، ماذا تُرِيْدُ مِنّا يا يَسُوعُ النّاصِرِيُّ؟ هَلْ جِئْتَ لِكَيْ تُهلِكَنا؟ أنا أعرِفُ مَنْ تَكُونُ، أنتَ قُدُّوسُ اللهِ.»

35 B ut Jesus rebuked him, saying, Be silent (muzzled, gagged), and come out of him! And when the demon had thrown the man down in their midst, he came out of him without injuring him in any possible way.

فَوَبَّخَهُ يَسُوعُ وَقالَ لَهُ: «اخرَسْ وَاخرُجْ مِنْهُ!» فَطَرَحَ الرُّوحُ الشِّرِّيْرُ الرَّجُلَ أرْضاً أمامَ النّاسِ، وَخَرَجَ مِنْهُ دُونَ أنْ يُؤذِيَهُ.

36 A nd they were all amazed and said to one another, What kind of talk is this? For with authority and power He commands the foul spirits and they come out!

فَاندَهَشَ الجَمِيعُ وَبَدَأُوا يَقُولُونَ بَعضُهُمْ لِبَعضٍ: «أيُّ تَعلِيْمٍ هَذا؟ فَهُوَ يَأْمُرُ الأرواحَ النَّجِسَةَ بِسُلطانٍ وَقُوَّةٍ فَتَخرُجَ!»

37 A nd a rumor about Him spread into every place in the surrounding country.

وَانتَشَرَتْ أخبارُهُ فِي كُلِّ مَكانٍ فِي تِلكَ المِنطَقَةِ. يَسُوعُ يَشفِي حَماةَ بُطرُس

38 T hen He arose and left the synagogue and went into Simon’s (Peter’s) house. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was suffering in the grip of a burning fever, and they pleaded with Him for her.

ثُمَّ تَرَكَ يَسُوعُ المَجمَعَ وَذَهَبَ إلَى بَيتِ سِمعانَ. وَكانَتْ حَماةُ سِمعانَ تُعانِي مِنْ حُمَّى شَدِيْدَةٍ. فَطَلَبُوا مِنْ يَسُوعَ أنْ يُعِينَها.

39 A nd standing over her, He rebuked the fever, and it left her; and immediately she got up and began waiting on them.

فَوَقَفَ يَسُوعُ قُربَها، وَانتَهَرَ الحُمَّى، فَتَرَكَتْها. فَقامَتْ فِي الحالِ وَبَدَأتْ تَخدِمُهُمْ. يَسُوعُ يَشفِي كَثِيْرِيْن

40 N ow at the setting of the sun, all those who had any sick with various diseases brought them to Him, and He laid His hands upon every one of them and cured them.

وَبَيْنَما كانَتِ الشَّمسُ تَغرُبُ، جاءَ جَمِيعُ الَّذِيْنَ عِنْدَهُمْ مَرضَى يُعانُونَ مِنْ أمراضٍ مُختَلِفَةٍ، وَأحضَرُوا مَرضاهُمْ إلَيْهِ، فَشَفاهُمْ واضِعاً يَدَيْهِ عَلَى كُلِّ واحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ.

41 A nd demons even came out of many people, screaming and crying out, You are the Son of God! But He rebuked them and would not permit them to speak, because they knew that He was the Christ (the Messiah).

وَخَرَجَتْ أيضاً أرواحٌ شِرِّيْرَةٌ مِنْ كِثِيْرِيْنَ مِنهُمْ، وَهْيَ تَصرُخُ وَتَقُولُ: «أنتَ ابنُ اللهِ.» لَكِنَّهُ انتَهَرَها، وَلَمْ يَسمَحْ لَها بِأنْ تَتَكَلَّمَ، لِأنَّها كانَتْ تَعلَمُ أنَّهُ هُوَ المَسِيحُ. يَسُوعُ يَذْهَبُ إلَى مُدُنٍ أُخْرَى

42 A nd when daybreak came, He left and went into an isolated place. And the people looked for Him until they came up to Him and tried to prevent Him from leaving them.

وَلَمّا طَلَعَ النَّهارُ، تَرَكَ ذَلِكَ المَكانَ وَمَضَى إلَى مَكانٍ مُنعَزِلٍ. لَكِنَّ جُمُوعَ النّاسِ كانُوا يُفَتِّشُونَ عَنْهُ، وَجاءُوا إلَيهِ وَحاوَلُوا أنْ يَمنَعُوهُ مِنَ الابتِعادِ عَنهُمْ.

43 B ut He said to them, I must preach the good news (the Gospel) of the kingdom of God to the other cities also, for I was sent for this.

لَكِنَّهُ قالَ لَهُمْ: «يَنبَغِي أنْ أُبَشِّرَ بِمَلَكُوتِ اللهِ في المُدُنِ الأُخرَى أيضاً، لِأنِّي أُرسِلْتُ لِهَذا الغَرَضِ.»

44 A nd He continued to preach in the synagogues of Galilee.

فَتابَعَ تَبشِيْرَهُ فِي مَجامِعِ إقليمِ اليَهُودِيَّةِ.
