1 B eginning of the glad tidings of Jesus Christ, Son of God;

هَذِهِ بِدايَةُ البِشارَةِ عَنْ يَسُوعَ المَسِيحِ ابْنِ اللهِ.

2 a s it is written in the prophet, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way.

فَكَما هُوَ مَكتوبٌ فِي كِتابِ النَّبِيِّ إشَعْياءَ: «ها أنا أُرسِلُ رَسُولِي قُدّامَكَ. لِيُعِدَّ الطَّرِيقَ.»

3 V oice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way of Lord, make his paths straight.

«صَوتُ إنسانٍ يُنادِي فِي البَرِّيَّةِ وَيَقولُ: ‹أعِدُّوا الطَّرِيقَ للرَّبِّ. اجعَلُوا السُّبُلَ مُستَقِيمَةً مِنْ أجلِهِ.›»

4 T here came John baptising in the wilderness, and preaching baptism of repentance for remission of sins.

جاءَ يُوحَنّا المَعْمَدانُ يُعَمِّدُ فِي البَرِّيَّةِ، وَيُطالِبُ النّاسَ بِأنْ يَتَعَمَّدُوا كَدَلِيلٍ عَلَى تَوبَتِهِمْ لِغُفرانِ الخَطايا.

5 A nd there went out to him all the district of Judaea, and all they of Jerusalem, and were baptised by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.

وَخَرَجَ إلَيهِ جَمِيعُ سُكّانِ قُرَى إقليمِ اليَهُودِيَّةِ، وَمَدينَةِ القُدْسِ. وَكانَ يُعَمِّدُهُمْ فِي نَهْرِ الأُردُنِّ بَعْدَ أن يَعتَرِفوا بِخَطاياهُمْ.

6 A nd John was clothed in camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins, and ate locusts and wild honey.

كانَتْ ثِيابُهُ مِنْ وَبَرِ الجِمالِ، وَعَلَى وَسْطِهِ حِزامٌ مِنْ جِلْدٍ، وَيَأكُلُ الجَرادَ وَالعَسَلَ البَرِّيَّ.

7 A nd he preached, saying, There comes he that is mightier than I after me, the thong of whose sandals I am not fit to stoop down and unloose.

وَكانَ يُعلِنُ وَيَقولُ: «سَيَأتِي بَعدِي رَجُلٌ أعظَمُ مِنِّي، وَأنا لَستُ مُستَحِقّاً أنْ أنحَنِيَ وَأحُلَّ رِباطَ حِذائِهِ.

8 I indeed have baptised you with water, but he shall baptise you with Holy Spirit.

أنا عَمَّدُتُكُمْ في الماءِ، أمّا هُوَ فَسَيُعَمِّدُكُمْ في الرُّوحِ القَدَسِ.» مَعمُودِيَّةُ يَسُوع

9 A nd it came to pass in those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptised by John at the Jordan.

وَفِي تِلْكَ الأيّامِ، جاءَ يَسُوعُ مِنْ بَلْدَةِ النّاصِرَةِ الَّتِي فِي إقليمِ الجَلِيلِ، وَتَعَمَّدَ عَلَى يَدِ يُوحَنّا فِي نَهْرِ الأُردُنِّ.

10 A nd straightway going up from the water, he saw the heavens parting asunder, and the Spirit, as a dove, descending upon him.

وَفِي لَحظَةِ خُرُوجِهِ مِنَ الماءِ، رَأى السَّماءَ مَفتُوحَةً، وَرَأى الرُّوحَ القُدُسَ نازِلاً عَلَيهِ عَلَى هَيئَةِ حَمامَةٍ.

11 A nd there came a voice out of the heavens: Thou art my beloved Son, in thee I have found my delight.

وَجاءَ صَوتٌ مِنَ السَّماءِ: «هَذا هُوَ ابنِي المَحبُوبُ الَّذي أنا راضٍ عَنْهُ كُلَّ الرِّضا.» تَجرِبَةُ يَسُوع

12 A nd immediately the Spirit drives him out into the wilderness.

وَاقتادَ الرُّوحُ يَسُوعَ إلَى البَرِّيَّةِ وَحدَهُ.

13 A nd he was in the wilderness forty days tempted by Satan, and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered to him.

وَبَقِيَ هُناكَ أربَعِينَ يَوماً فِي مُواجَهَةِ تَجارِبِ الشَّيطانِ. كانَ هُناكَ مَعَ الحَيواناتِ البَرِّيَّةِ، وَكانَتِ المَلائِكَةُ تَخدِمُهُ. يَسُوعُ يَختارُ بَعضَ تَلامِيذِه

14 B ut after John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee preaching the glad tidings of the kingdom of God,

وَبَعْدَ أنِ اعْتُقِلَ يُوحَنّا، جاءَ يَسُوعُ إلَى إقليمِ الجَلِيلِ، وَابتَدَأ يُعلِنُ بِشارَةَ اللهِ

15 a nd saying, The time is fulfilled and the kingdom of God has drawn nigh; repent and believe in the glad tidings.

وَيَقولُ: «قَدْ حانَ الوَقتُ، وَاقتَرَبَ مَلَكوتُ اللهِ، فَتُوبُوا وَآمِنُوا بِهَذِهِ البِشارَةِ.»

16 A nd walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon, and Andrew, brother, casting out a net in the sea, for they were fishers.

وَبَينَما كانَ يَمشِي عَلَى شاطِئِ بُحَيرَةِ الجَلِيلِ، رَأى سِمْعانَ وَأخاهُ أندْراوُسَ يُلقِيانِ الشَّبَكَةَ فِي البُحَيرَةِ، فَقَدْ كانا صَيّادَي سَمَكٍ.

17 A nd Jesus said to them, Come after me, and I will make you become fishers of men;

فَقالَ لَهُما يَسُوعُ: «اتبَعانِي فَأجعَلَكُما تَصيرانِ صَيّادَينِ لِلنّاسِ.»

18 a nd straightway leaving their trawl-nets they followed him.

فَتَرَكا شِباكَهُما حالاً وَتَبِعاهُ.

19 A nd going on thence a little, he saw James the of Zebedee, and John his brother, and these in the ship repairing the trawl-nets;

ثُمَّ سارَ قَلِيلاً، فَرَأى يَعقُوبَ بْنَ زَبَدِيّ وَأخاهُ يُوحَنّا وَهُما فِي قارِبِهِما يُجَهِّزانِ الشِّباكَ.

20 a nd straightway he called them; and leaving their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, they went away after him.

فدَعاهُما يَسُوعُ، فَتَرَكا أباهُما زَبَدَيْ فِي القارِبِ مَعَ العُمّالِ وَتَبِعاهُ. يَسُوعُ يُخرِجُ رُوحاً شِرِّيراً

21 A nd they go into Capernaum. And straightway on the sabbath he entered into the synagogue and taught.

ثُمَّ ذَهَبُوا إلَى كَفْرِناحُومَ، وَدَخَلَ يَسُوعُ إلَى المَجمَعِ يَومَ السَّبْتِ وَابْتَدَأ يُعَلِّمُ.

22 A nd they were astonished at his doctrine, for he taught them as having authority, and not as the scribes.

فَذُهِلُوا مِنْ تَعلِيمِهِ، لِأنَّهُ عَلَّمَهُمْ كَمَنْ لَهُ سُلْطانٌ، وَلَيسَ كَمُعَلِّمِي الشَّرِيعَةِ.

23 A nd there was in their synagogue a man by an unclean spirit, and he cried out

وَكانَ فِي المَجمَعِ رَجُلٌ فيهِ رُوحٌ نَجِسٌ. فَصَرَخَ الرُّوحُ:

24 s aying, Eh! what have we to do with thee, Jesus, Nazarene? Art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the holy one of God.

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

25 A nd Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace and come out of him.

فَوَبَّخَهُ يَسُوعُ وَقالَ لَهُ: «اخرَسْ وَاخرُجْ مِنْهُ!»

26 A nd the unclean spirit, having torn him, and uttered a cry with a loud voice, came out of him.

فَأدخَلَ الرُّوحُ النَّجِسُ الرَّجُلَ فِي نَوبَةٍ مِنَ التَّشَنُّجاتِ، ثُمَّ صَرَخَ صَرْخَةً عالِيَةً وَخَرَجَ مِنْهُ.

27 A nd all were amazed, so that they questioned together among themselves, saying, What is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.

فَاندَهَشَ الجَمِيعُ، وَبَدَأُوا يَقُولُونَ بَعضُهُمْ لِبَعضٍ: «ما هَذا التَّعلِيمُ الجَدِيدُ؟ فَهُوَ يَأْمُرُ الأرواحَ النَّجِسَةَ بِسُلطانٍ فَتُطيعَهُ.»

28 A nd his fame went out straightway into the whole region of Galilee around.

وَانتَشَرَتِ الأخبارُ عَنْهُ بِسُرعَةٍ فِي كُلِّ أنحاءِ إقليمِ الجَلِيلِ. يَسُوعُ يَشْفِي كَثيرين

29 A nd straightway going out of the synagogue, they came with James and John into the house of Simon and Andrew.

ثُمَّ غادَرُوا المَجمَعَ، وَذَهَبُوا مَعَ يَعقُوبَ وَيُوحَنّا إلَى بَيتِ سِمْعانَ وَأندْراوُسَ.

30 A nd the mother-in-law of Simon lay in a fever. And straightway they speak to him about her.

وَكانَتْ حَماةُ سِمْعانَ فِي الفِراشِ مُصابَةً بِالحُمَّى. فَأخبَرُوا يَسُوعَ عَنْها،

31 A nd he went up to and raised her up, having taken her by the hand, and straightway the fever left her, and she served them.

فَاقتَرَبَ مِنْها، وَأمسَكَ يَدَها وَأجلَسَها. فَتَرَكَتْها الحُمَّى، وَابتَدَأتْ تَخدِمُهُمْ.

32 B ut evening being come, when the sun had gone down, they brought to him all that were suffering, and those possessed by demons;

وَفِي ذَلِكَ المَساءِ، عِنْدَ غُروبِ الشَّمسِ، أحضَرُوا إلَيهِ الكَثيرَ مِنَ المَرضَى وَالَّذينَ فيهِمْ أرواحٌ شِرِّيرَةٌ.

33 a nd the whole city was gathered together at the door.

فَاجتَمَعَ سُكّانُ المَدِينَةِ كُلِّها عِنْدَ بابِ البَيتِ.

34 A nd he healed many suffering from various diseases; and he cast out many demons, and did not suffer the demons to speak because they knew him.

فَشَفَى يَسوعُ كَثِيرِينَ مِمَّنْ كانُوا مُصابِينَ بِأمراضٍ مُختَلِفَةٍ، وَطَرَدَ كَثِيراً مِنَ الأرواحِ الشِّرِّيرَةِ. وَلَكِنَّ يَسُوعَ لَمْ يَسْمَحْ للأرواحِ بِأنْ تَتَكَلَّمَ لِأنَّها عَرَفَتْ مَنْ يَكُونُ. الاستِعدادُ لإعلانِ البِشارَة

35 A nd rising in the morning long before day, he went out and went away into a desert place, and there prayed.

وَفِي الصَّباحِ الباكِرِ قَبلَ شُروقِ الشَّمسِ، خَرَجَ يَسوعُ وَحدَهُ، وَذَهَبَ إلَى مَكانٍ مُنعَزِلٍ لِيُصَلِّيَ.

36 A nd Simon and those with him went after him:

فَخَرَجَ سِمْعانُ وَمَنْ كانُوا مَعَهُ لِيَبْحَثُوا عَنْهُ.

37 a nd having found him, they say to him, All seek thee.

وَعِندَما وَجَدُوهُ قالُوا لَهُ: «الجَمِيعُ يَبحَثُونَ عَنْكَ!»

38 A nd he says to them, Let us go elsewhere into the neighbouring country towns, that I may preach there also, for for this purpose am I come forth.

فَأجابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «لِنَذْهَبْ إلَى القُرَى المُجاوِرَةِ حَتَّى أُبَشِّرَ هُناكَ أيضاً، لِأنِّي مِنْ أجلِ هَذا جِئْتُ.»

39 A nd he was preaching in their synagogues in the whole of Galilee, and casting out demons.

فَذَهَبَ إلَى كُلِّ أنحاءِ إقليمِ الجَلِيلِ يُبَشِّرُ فِي مَجامِعِ اليَهودِ، وَيَطرُدُ الأرواحَ الشِّرِّيرَةَ. يَسُوعُ يَشْفِي أبرَص

40 A nd there comes to him a leper, beseeching him, and falling on his knees to him, and saying to him, If thou wilt thou canst cleanse me.

وَجاءَ رَجُلٌ أبْرَصُ إلَى يَسُوعَ، وَسَجَدَ عَلَى رُكبَتَيهِ وَأخَذَ يَتَوَسَّلُ إلَيهِ وَيَقُولُ: «أنتَ قادِرٌ أنْ تَجعَلَنِي طاهِراً، إنْ أرَدْتَ.»

41 B ut Jesus, moved with compassion, having stretched out his hand, touched him, and says to him, I will, be thou cleansed.

فَتَحَنَّنَ يَسُوعُ، وَمَدَّ يَدَهُ وَلَمَسَهُ وَقالَ: «نَعَمْ أُرِيْدُ، فَاطْهُرْ.»

42 A nd as he spoke straightway the leprosy left him, and he was cleansed.

فَزالَ البَرَصُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ، وَأصبَحَ طاهِراً.

43 A nd having sharply charged him, he straightway sent him away,

ثُمَّ حَذَّرَهُ يَسُوعُ بِشِدَّةٍ قَبلَ أنْ يَصرِفَهُ

44 a nd says to him, See thou say nothing to any one, but go, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing what Moses ordained, for a testimony to them.

وَقالَ لَهُ: «إيّاكَ أنْ تُخبِرَ أحَداً بِما حَدَثَ مَعَكَ، بَلِ اذْهَبْ وَأرِ نَفسَكَ لِلكاهِنِ، وَقَدِّمْ تَقدِمَةً عَنْ تَطَهُّرِكَ ما أمَرَ بهِ مُوسَى، فَيَعلَمَ النّاسُ أنَّكَ شُفِيْتَ.»

45 B ut he, having gone forth, began to proclaim much, and to spread the matter abroad, so that he could no longer enter openly into the city, but was without in desert places, and they came to him from every side.

لَكِنَّ الرَّجُلَ انطَلَقَ وَابْتَدَأ يَنشُرُ أخبارَ شِفائِهِ فِي كُلِّ مَكانٍ، فَصارَ يَصعُبُ عَلَى يَسُوعَ أنْ يَدخُلَ عَلَناً إلَى أيَّةِ مَدِينَةٍ، بَلْ كانَ يُقيمُ في أماكِنَ نائِيَةٍ، وَكانَ النّاسُ يَأتُونَ إلَيهِ مِنْ كُلِّ مَكانٍ.
