1 ف ِي ذَلِكَ الوَقتِ، ذَهَبَ يَسُوعُ لِيَتَمَشَّى فِي الحُقُولِ فِي يَومٍ مِنْ أيّامِ السَّبتِ. فَجاعَ تَلامِيذُهُ وَابتَدَأُوا يَلتَقِطُونَ سَنابِلَ القَمحِ وَيَأكُلُونَها.

¶ At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the planted fields, and his disciples were hungry and began to pluck the ears of grain and to eat.

2 و َلَكِنْ عِندَما رَأى الفِرِّيسِيُّونَ ذَلِكَ قالُوا لَهُ: «ها إنَّ تَلامِيذَكَ يَعمَلُونَ ما لا يَجُوزُ فِعلُهُ فِي السَّبتِ.»

But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day.

3 ف َقالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «ألَمْ تَقرَأُوا فِي الكِتابِ ما فَعَلَهُ داوُدُ عِندَما جاعَ هُوَ وَمَنْ مَعَهُ؟

But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, and those that were with him, when he was hungry,

4 ل َقَدْ دَخَلَ إلَى بَيتِ اللهِ وَأكَلَ مِنْ أرغِفَةِ الخُبزِ المُقَدَّمَةِ إلَى اللهِ، مَعَ أنَّهُ لا يَجُوزُ لَهُ وَلا لِمَنْ مَعَهُ أنْ يَأْكُلَ ذَلِكَ الخُبزَ، بَلْ يُسمَحُ ذَلِكَ لِلكَهَنَةِ وَحدَهُمْ.»

how he entered into the house of God and ate the showbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for those who were with him, but only for the priests?

5 أ لَمْ تَقرَأُوا أيضاً فِي شَرِيعَةِ مُوسَى كَيفَ أنَّ الكَهَنَةَ فِي يَومِ السَّبْتِ لا يَحفَظُونَ الشَّرِيعَةَ المُتَعَلِّقَةَ بِالسَّبْتِ؟ وَمَعْ هَذا لا يُحاسَبُونَ عَلَى عَمَلِهِمْ هَذا،

Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath and are blameless?

6 ل َكِنِّي أقُولُ لَكُمْ إنَّ هُناكَ ما هُوَ أعظَمُ مِنَ الهَيكَلِ هُنا.

But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the temple.

7 و َلَو عَرَفْتُمْ ما يَعنِيهِ الكِتابُ حِينَ يَقُولُ: ‹أُريدُ رَحمَةً لِلنّاسِ، لا ذَبائِحَ حَيوانِيَّةً.› لِما حَكَمْتُمْ عَلَى أُولَئِكَ الأبرِياءِ.

But if ye knew what this means, I will have mercy and not sacrifice, ye would not condemn the innocent.

8 ل ِأنَّ ابْنَ الإنسانِ هُوَ رَبُّ السَّبتِ.» الشِّفاءُ يَومَ السَّبت

For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.

9 ث ُمَّ تَرَكَ ذَلِكَ المَكانَ، وَذَهَبَ إلَى مَجمَعِهِمْ.

And when he was departed from there, he went into their synagogue;

10 و َكانَ هُناكَ رَجُلٌ يَدُهُ مَشلُولَةٌ. فَسَألَ النّاسُ يَسُوعَ: «هَلْ تَسمَحُ الشَّرِيعَةُ بِشِفاءِ يَدِ هَذا الرَّجُلِ يَومَ السَّبْتِ؟» سَألُوهُ ذَلِكَ، لِكَي يَكُونَ لَدَيهِمْ دَلِيلٌ يَشتَكُونَ بِهِ عَلَيهِ.

and, behold, there was a man who had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him.

11 ف َقالَ لَهُمْ: «افتَرِضَوا أنَّ أحَدَكُمْ لَهُ خَرُوفٌ وَقَعَ فِي حُفرَةٍ يَومَ السَّبتِ، ألا تُمسِكُونَهُ وَتُخرِجُونَهُ؟

And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you that shall have one sheep, and if it falls into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it and lift it out?

12 و َالإنسانُ أكثَرُ أهَمِّيَّةً مِنَ الخَرُوفِ. إذاً فَعَمَلُ الخَيرِ يَومَ السَّبْتِ، يَتَوافَقُ مَعَ الشَّرِيعَةِ.»

Therefore, how much more is a man worth than a sheep? So that it is lawful to do good on the sabbath days.

13 ث ُمَّ قالَ يَسُوعُ لِلَّذِي يَدُهُ مَشلُولَةٌ: «ابسُطْ يَدَكَ.» فَبَسَطَها فَعادَتْ سَلِيمَةً تَماماً كَيَدِهِ الأُخرَى.

Then he said to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like the other.

14 ف َخَرَجَ الفِرِّيسِيُّونَ وَابْتَدَأُوا يَتَآمَرُونَ لِيَعرِفُوا كَيفَ يَقْتُلونَ يَسُوعَ. يَسُوعُ: خادِمُ اللهِ المُختار

¶ Then the Pharisees went out and took council against him that they might destroy him.

15 ف َعَرَفَ يَسُوعُ مُخَطَّطَهُمْ، وَتَرَكَ ذَلِكَ المَكانَ. فَتَبِعَتْهُ جَماهِيرُ كَبِيرَةٌ، فَشَفاهُمْ جَمِيعاً،

But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from there; and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all;

16 و َأمَرَهُمْ أنْ لا يَكشِفُوا مَنْ هُوَ.

and strictly charged them that they should not make him known;

17 ح َدَثَ هَذا لِيَتِمَّ ما قالَهُ اللهُ عَلَىْ لِسانِ النَّبِيِّ إشَعْياءَ:

so that it which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, who said,

18 « هُوَذا خادِمِي الَّذِي اختَرْتُهُ، حَبِيبِي الَّذِي سُرِرْتُ بِهِ. سَأضَعُ رُوحِي عَلَيهِ، فَيُعلِنَ العَدلَ لِلأُمَمِ.

Behold my servant, whom I have chosen, my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased; I will put my Spirit upon him, and he shall declare judgment unto the Gentiles.

19 ل َنْ يُخاصِمَ أحَداً وَلَنْ يَصرُخَ، وَلَنْ يُسمِعَ أحَداً صَوتَهُ فِي شَوارِعِهِمْ.

He shall not strive nor cry, neither shall anyone hear his voice in the streets.

20 ل َنْ يَكسِرَ حَتَّى القَصَبَةَ المُنحَنِيَةَ، وَلَنْ يُطفِئَ حَتَّى الفَتِيلَةَ المُدَخِّنَةَ. وَسَيَستَمِرُّ إلَى أنْ يَجعَلَ العَدلَ يَنتَصِرُ.

A bruised reed he shall not break, and a smoking flax he shall not quench until he sends forth judgment unto victory.

21 و َكُلُّ الأُمَمِ سَتَضَعُ رَجاءَها فِيهِ.» سُلطانُ يَسُوع

And in his name shall the Gentiles wait.

22 ث ُمَّ أحضَرُوا إلَيهِ رَجُلاً أعمَى وَأخرَسَ لِأنَّهُ كانَ مَسكُوناً بِروحٍ شِرِّيرٍ، فَشَفاهُ. فَصارَ الأخرَسُ يَتَكَلَّمُ وَيَرَى.

¶ Then was brought unto him one possessed with a demon, blind, and dumb, and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spoke and saw.

23 ف َانْدَهَشَ النّاسُ وَقالُوا: «هَلْ يُمكِنُ أنْ يَكُونَ هَذا الرَّجُلُ ابْنَ داوُدَ؟»

And all the people were amazed and said, Is not this the son of David?

24 ف َعِندَما سَمِعَ الفِرِّيسِيُّونَ هَذا، قالُوا: «هَذا الرَّجُلُ يُخرِجُ الأرواحَ الشِّرِّيرَةَ بِقُوَّةِ بَعلَزَبُولَ رَئِيسِ الأرواحِ الشِّرِّيرَةِ.»

But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow does not cast out demons but by Beelzebub the prince of the demons.

25 و َإذْ عَرَفَ يَسُوعُ أفكارَهُمْ، قالَ لَهُمْ: «إنَّ مَصِيرَ كُلِّ مَملَكَةٍ يَنقَسِمُ أهلُها وَيَتَحارَبُونَ هُوَ الخَرابُ. وَكُلُّ مَدِينَةٍ أوْ بَيتٍ يَتَحارَبُ أهلُهُ لا يَدُومُ.

And Jesus knew their thoughts and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself shall not remain;

26 ف َإذا كانَ الشَّيطانُ يَطْرُدُ الأرواحَ وَيُحارِبُ ذاتَهُ، فَكَيفَ يُمكِنُ أنْ تَصمُدَ مَملَكَتَهُ؟

and if Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom remain?

27 ف َإنْ كُنتُ أنا أطرُدُ الأرواحَ الشِّرِّيْرَةَ بِقُوَّةِ بَعلَزَبُولَ، فَبِماذا يَطرُدُها تَلامِيذُكُمْ؟ فَهُمُ الَّذِينَ يَحكُمُونَ عَلَيكُمْ.

And if I by Beelzebub cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges.

28 ل َكِنْ إنْ كُنتُ أطرُدُ الأرواحَ الشِّرِّيرَةَ بِرُوحِ اللهِ، فَقَدْ صارَ وَاضِحاً أنَّ مَلَكُوتَ اللهِ قَدْ جاءَ إلَيكُمْ.

But if I cast out the demons by the Spirit of God, then certainly the kingdom of God is come unto you.

29 ك َيفَ يُمكِنُ لأحَدٍ أنْ يَدخُلَ بَيتَ رَجُلٍ قَوِيٍّ وَيَنهَبَ أملاكَهُ، إلّا إذا رَبَطَ الرَّجُلَ القَوِيَّ أوَّلاً؟ حِينَئِذٍ يُصبِحُ قادِراً عَلَى نَهبِ بَيتِهِ.

Or else how can one enter into the strong man’s house and spoil his goods except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.

30 « مَنْ لَيسَ مَعْي فَهُوَ ضِدِّي. وَمَنْ لا يَجمَعُ مَعِي فَهُوَ يُبَعثِرُ.»

He that is not with me is against me, and he that does not gather with me scatters abroad.

31 ل ِذَلِكَ أقُولُ لَكُمْ: كُلُّ خَطِيَّةٍ وَإهانَةٍ يُمكِنُ أنْ تُغفَرَ لِلنّاسِ، أمّا إهانَةُ الرُّوحِ القُدُسِ فَلَنْ تُغفَرَ.

Therefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven unto men.

32 م َنْ يَتَكَلَّمُ بِشَيءٍ ضِدَّ ابْنِ الإنسانِ يُغفَرُ لَهُ، وَأمّا مَنْ يَتَكَلَّمُ بِشَيءٍ ضِدَّ الرُّوحِ القُدُسِ فَلا يُمكِنُ أنْ يُغفَرَ لَهُ، لا فِي هَذا العالَمِ وَلا فِي العالَمِ الآتِي. الثَّمَرُ يُظهِرُ الحَقيقة

And whosoever speaks a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him, but whosoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this age, neither in the age to come.

33 « لِكَي تَنالَ ثَمَراً جَيِّداً، ازرَعْ شَجَرَةً جَيِّدَةً. أمّا الشَجَرَةُ الرَّديئَةُ، فَتُعطيكَ ثَمَراً رَدِيئاً. لِأنَّ الشَّجَرَةَ تُعرَفُ بِثَمَرِها.

Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or else make the tree corrupt and its fruit corrupt; for the tree is known by its fruit.

34 ي ا أولادَ الأفاعِي، كَيفَ يُمكِنُكُمْ أنْ تَتَكَلَّمُوا بِالأُمُورِ الصّالِحَةِ وَأنتُمْ أشرارٌ؟ لِأنَّ الفَمَ يَتَكَلَّمُ بِما يَمتَلِئُ بِهِ القَلبُ.

O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.

35 ف َالإنسانُ الصّالِحُ يُخرِجُ ما هُوَ صالِحٌ مِنَ كَنزِهِ الصّالِحِ، وَالإنسانُ الشِّرِّيْرُ يُخرِجُ ما هُوَ شِرِّيرٌ مِنَ الشَّرِّ المَخزُونِ لَدَيهِ.

The good man out of the good treasure of the heart brings forth good things, and the evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things.

36 و َلَكِنِّي أقُولُ لَكُمْ إنَّهُ فِي يَومِ الدَّينونَةِ، سَيُسْألُ النّاسُ عَنْ كُلِّ كَلِمَةٍ قالُوها.

But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.

37 و َكَلامُكَ سَيُقَرِّرُ بَراءَتَكَ أوْ إدانَتَكَ.» قادَةُ اليَهُودُ يَطلُبُونَ بُرهاناً

For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

38 ث ُمَّ طَلَبَ مِنْهُ بَعضُ مُعَلِّمِي الشَّرِيعَةِ وَالفِرِّيسِيُّونَ وَقالوا: «يا مُعَلِّمُ، نُرِيدُ أنْ نَرَى مَنْكَ بُرهاناً مُعْجِزيّاً.»

¶ Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we desire to see a sign from thee.

39 ف َأجابَهُمْ: «هَذا الجِيلُ الشِّرِّيرُ الفاسِقُ يَبحَثُ عَنْ بُرهانٍ لِكَي يُؤمِنَ. وَلَنْ يُعطَى إلّا بُرْهانَ النَّبِيِّ يُونانَ.

But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and there no sign shall be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonah;

40 ف َكَما أنَّ يُونانَ بَقِيَ فِي بَطنِ السَّمَكَةِ الكَبِيرَةِ ثَلاثَةَ أيّامٍ وَثَلاثَ لَيالٍ، هَكَذا سَيَبقَى ابْنُ الإنسانِ فِي جَوفِ الأرْضِ ثَلاثَةَ أيّامٍ وَثَلاثَ لَيالٍ.

for as Jonah was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly, so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

41 س َيَقِفُ أهلُ نِينَوَى يَومَ الدَّينُونَةِ ضِدَّ هَذا الجِيلِ، وَسَيَدِينُونَهُ لأنَّهُمْ تابُوا إذْ سَمِعوا تَحذِيْرَ يُونانَ. وَالآنَ هُنا أمامَكُمْ مَنْ هُوَ أعظَمُ مِنْ يُونانَ.

The men of Nineveh shall rise in the judgment with this generation and shall condemn it because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and, behold, a greater than Jonah is here.

42 « وَسَتَقِفُ مَلِكَةُ الجَنُوبِ يَومَ الدَّينُونَةِ ضِدَّ هَذا الجِيلِ وَسَتدينُهُ. فَقَدْ جاءَتْ مِنْ أقاصِي الأرْضِ لِكَيْ تَسمَعَ حِكمَةَ سُلَيْمانَ. وَالآنَ هُنا أمامَكُمْ مَنْ هُوَ أعظَمُ مِنْ سُلَيْمانَ. النفسُ الفارِغة

The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation and shall condemn it, for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.

43 « عِندَما يَخرُجُ رُوحٌ نَجِسٌ مِنْ إنسانٍ، فَإنَّهُ يَجتازُ أماكِنَ جافَّةً ساعِياً إلَى مَكانِ راحَةٍ، فَلا يَجِدُ،

When the unclean spirit is gone out of the man, it walks through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none.

44 ح ينَئِذٍ يَقُولُ: ‹سَأعُودُ إلَى بَيتِي الَّذِي جِئتُ مِنهُ.› فَيَذهَبُ وَيَجِدُ البَيتَ فارِغاً وَمُكَنَّساً وَمُرَتَّباً.

Then it says, I will return into my house from which I came out; and when it is come, it finds it empty, swept, and garnished.

45 ح ينَئِذٍ يَذهَبُ وَيُحضِرُ مَعَهُ سَبعَةَ أرواحٍ أُخَرَ تَفُوقُهُ شَرّاً، فَتَدخُلُ وَتَسكُنُ هُناكَ. وَهَكَذا تَكُونُ حالَةُ ذَلِكَ الإنسانِ الأخِيْرَةِ أسوَأ مِنْ حالَتِهِ الأُولَى. هَكَذا سَيَحدُثُ مَعَ هَذا الجِيلِ الحاضِرِ الشِّرِّيرِ.» تَلامِيذُ يَسُوعَ هُمْ عائِلَتُه

Then it goes and takes with itself seven other spirits worse than itself, and they enter in and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it also be unto this wicked generation.

46 و َبَينَما كانَ يَسُوعُ يَتَكَلَّمُ إلَى جُمُوعِ النّاسِ، أتَتْ أُمُّهُ وَإخوَتُهُ وَوَقَفُوا فِي الخارِجِ، وَطَلَبُوا أنْ يَتَحَدَّثُوا إلَيهِ.

¶ While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brothers stood without, desiring to speak with him.

47 ف َقالَ أحَدُ الأشخاصِ لِيَسُوعَ: «أُمُّكَ وَإخوَتُكَ يَقِفُونَ فِي الخارِجِ وَيُرِيدُونَ التَّحَدُّثَ إلَيكَ.»

Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brothers stand without, desiring to speak with thee.

48 ف َأجابَهُ يَسُوعُ: «مَنْ هِيَ أُمِّي، وَمَنْ هُمْ إخْوَتِي؟»

But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brothers?

49 ث ُمَّ أشارَ بِيَدِهِ إلَى تَلامِيذِهِ وَقالَ: «هَؤُلاءِ هُمْ أُمِّي وَإخوَتِي،

And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brothers!

50 ل ِأنَّ الَّذِي يَعمَلُ مَشِيئَةَ أبِي الَّذِي فِي السَّماءِ هُوَ أخِي وَأُختِي وَأُمِّي.»

For whosoever shall do the will of my Father who is in the heavens, the same is my brother and sister and mother.
