1 ب َعدَ سِتَّةِ أيّامٍ، أخَذَ يَسُوعُ بُطرُسَ وَيَعقُوبَ وَأخاهُ يُوحَنّا، وَقادَهُمْ إلَى جَبَلٍ عالٍ لِيَكُونُوا وَحدَهُمْ.

Six days later Jesus took with Him Peter and James and John his brother, and led them up on a high mountain by themselves.

2 و َبَينَما كانُوا هُناكَ، تَغَيَّرَ مَظهَرُ يَسُوعَ وَصارَ يَلْمَعُ كَالشَّمْسِ، وَصارَتْ ثِيابُهُ بَيضاءَ كَالنُّورِ.

And He was transfigured before them; and His face shone like the sun, and His garments became as white as light.

3 و َفَجأةً ظَهَرَ مُوسَى وَإيلِيّا أمامَ التَّلاميذِ، وَكانا يَتَكَلَّمانِ مَعَ يَسُوعَ.

And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him.

4 ف َقالَ بُطرُسُ لِيَسُوعَ: «يا سَيِّدُ، ما أجمَلَ أنْ نَكُونَ هُنا! فَإنْ شِئتَ أنصِبُ ثَلاثَ خَيماتٍ هُنا، واحِدَةً لَكَ، وَواحِدَةً لِمُوسَى، وَواحِدَةً لإيلِيّا.»

Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here; if You wish, I will make three tabernacles here, one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”

5 و َبَينَما كانَ بُطرُسُ يَتَكَلَّمُ، ظَلَّلَتْهُمْ غَيمَةٌ لامِعَةٌ، وَخَرَجَ مِنْها صَوتٌ يَقولُ: «هَذا هُوَ ابنِي حَبيبي الَّذِي سُرُورِي بِهِ عَظِيمٌ. فَأصغُوا إلَيهِ.»

While he was still speaking, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and behold, a voice out of the cloud said, “ This is My beloved Son, with whom I am well-pleased; listen to Him!”

6 ف َعِندَما سَمِعَ التَّلامِيذُ ذَلِكَ، ارتَعَبُوا وَسَقَطُوا عَلَى الأرْضِ عَلَى وُجُوهِهِمْ.

When the disciples heard this, they fell face down to the ground and were terrified.

7 ف َاقتَرَبَ يَسُوعُ وَلَمَسَهُمْ وَقالَ: «انهَضوا، لا تَخافُوا.»

And Jesus came to them and touched them and said, “Get up, and do not be afraid.”

8 و َعِندَما نَظَرُوا حَولَهُمْ، لَمْ يَرَوا أحَداً سِوَى يَسُوعَ.

And lifting up their eyes, they saw no one except Jesus Himself alone.

9 و َبَينَما هُمْ يَنزِلُونَ مِنَ الجَبَلِ، أوصاهُمْ يَسُوعُ وَقالَ: «لا تُخبِرُوا أحَداً بِما رَأيتُمْ إلَى أنْ يُقامَ ابْنُ الإنسانِ مِنَ المَوتِ.»

As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, “ Tell the vision to no one until the Son of Man has risen from the dead.”

10 و َسَألَهُ تَلامِيذُهُ: «لِماذا يَقُولُ مُعَلِّمُو الشَّرِيعَةِ إنَّ إيلِيّا يَنبَغِي أنْ يَأتِيَ أوَّلاً؟»

And His disciples asked Him, “Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”

11 ف َأجابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «نَعَمْ، يَأتِي إيلِيّا لِيَرُدَّ كُلَّ شَيءٍ إلَى أصلِهِ.

And He answered and said, “Elijah is coming and will restore all things;

12 ل َكِنِّي أقُولُ لَكُمْ إنَّ إيلِيّا قَدْ أتَى، وَالنّاسُ لَمْ يَعرِفُوهُ، بَلْ عامَلُوهُ بِالطَّرِيقَةِ الَّتِي يُرِيدُونَها. وَابْنُ الإنسانِ أيضاً سَيَلقَى تِلكَ المُعامَلَةَ مِنْهَمْ.»

but I say to you that Elijah already came, and they did not recognize him, but did to him whatever they wished. So also the Son of Man is going to suffer at their hands.”

13 ح ِينَئِذٍ فَهِمَ تَلامِيذُهُ أنَّهُ كانَ يَتَكَلَّمُ عَنْ يُوحَنّا المَعمَدانِ. يَسُوعُ يُخرِجُ رُوحاً شِرِّيراً مِنْ صَبِي

Then the disciples understood that He had spoken to them about John the Baptist. The Demoniac

14 و َعِندَما عادُوا إلَى الجَمعِ، جاءَ رَجُلٌ إلَى يَسُوعَ وَسَجَدَ أمامَهُ

When they came to the crowd, a man came up to Jesus, falling on his knees before Him and saying,

15 و َقالَ: «ارحَمِ ابنِي، يا رَبُّ، فَهُوَ مُصابٌ بِالصَّرَعِ وَيَتَألَّمُ بِشِدَّةٍ. وَكَثِيراً ما يَقَعُ فِي النّارِ أوْ الماءِ.

“ Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is a lunatic and is very ill; for he often falls into the fire and often into the water.

16 و َقَدْ أحضَرْتُهُ إلَى تَلامِيذِكَ، لَكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَستَطِيعُوا أنْ يُشفُوهُ.»

I brought him to Your disciples, and they could not cure him.”

17 ف َقالَ يَسُوعُ: «أيُّها الجَيلُ غَيْرُ المُؤمِنِ وَالمُنحَرِفُ، إلَى مَتَى أكُونُ مَعَكُمْ، إلَى مَتَى أحتَمِلُكُمْ؟» ثُمَّ قالَ للرَجُلِ: «أحضِرِ ابنَكَ إلَيَّ هُنا.»

And Jesus answered and said, “You unbelieving and perverted generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring him here to Me.”

18 ف َأمَرَ يَسُوعُ الرُّوحَ الشِّرِّيرَ بِأنْ يَخرُجَ مِنْهُ، فَشُفِيَ الصَبيُّ فِي الحالِ.

And Jesus rebuked him, and the demon came out of him, and the boy was cured at once.

19 ث ُمَّ أتَى إلَيهِ تَلامِيذُهُ عَلَى انفِرادٍ وَسَألُوهُ: «لِماذا لَمْ نَستَطِعْ نَحنُ إخراجَهُ؟»

Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, “Why could we not drive it out?”

20 ف َأجابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «بِسَبَبِ قِلَّةِ إيمانِكُمْ. أقولُ الحَقَّ لَكُمْ، لَوْ كانَ إيمانُكُمْ فِي حَجمِ بِذْرَةِ الخَردَلِ، فَإنَّكُمْ تَستَطِيعُونَ أنْ تَقُولُوا لِهَذا الجَبَلِ: انتَقِلْ مِنْ هُنا إلَى هُناكَ، فَسَيَنتَقِلُ، وَلَنْ يَكُونَ هُناكَ شَيءٌ مُستَحِيلٌ عَليكُمْ.

And He said to them, “Because of the littleness of your faith; for truly I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you.

21 ل َكِنَّ هَذا النَّوعُ لا يَخْرُجُ إلّا بِالصَلاةِ وَالصَّومِ.» يَسُوعُ يُنبِئُ باقتِرابِ مَوتِه

'> But this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.” ]

22 و َبَينَما كانُوا يَتَنَقَّلُونَ فِي الجَلِيلِ مَعاً، قالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «يُوشِكُ ابنُ الإنسانِ أنْ يُوضَعَ تَحتَ سُلطانِ البَشَرِ.

And while they were gathering together in Galilee, Jesus said to them, “The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men;

23 و َسَيَقتُلُونَهُ. وَلَكِنَّهُ فِي اليَومِ الثّالِثِ سَيَقُومُ مِنَ المَوتِ.» فَحَزِنَ التَّلامِيذُ جِدّاً. ضَريبةُ الهَيكل

and they will kill Him, and He will be raised on the third day.” And they were deeply grieved. The Tribute Money

24 و َعِندَما دَخَلَ يَسُوعُ إلَى كَفْرِناحُومَ، جاءَ إلَى بُطرُسَ الَّذِينَ يَجمَعُونَ ضَرِيبَةَ الدِّرهَمَينِ لِلهَيكَلِ، وَسَألُوهُ: «ألا يَدفَعُ مُعَلِّمُكُمْ ضَرِيبَةَ الدِّرهَمَينِ؟»

When they came to Capernaum, those who collected the two-drachma tax came to Peter and said, “Does your teacher not pay the two-drachma tax ?”

25 ف َأجابَهُمْ بُطرُسُ: «بَلَى، يَفعَلُ.» ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ بُطرُسُ إلَى البَيتِ. فَبادَرَهُ يَسُوعُ بِالكَلامِ وَقالَ: «أخبِرْنِي يا سِمْعانُ، مِمَّنْ يَجمَعُ المُلُوكُ الجِزْيَةَ وَالضَّرائِبَ؟ هَلْ يَجمَعُونَها مِنْ أبناءِ شَعبِهِمْ، أمْ مِنَ الشُّعُوبِ الأُخرَى؟»

He said, “Yes.” And when he came into the house, Jesus spoke to him first, saying, “What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth collect customs or poll-tax, from their sons or from strangers?”

26 ف َأجابَ بُطرُسُ: «إنَّهُمْ يَجمَعُونَها مِنَ الشُّعُوبِ الأُخرَى.» فَقالَ يَسُوعُ: «إذاً فَألأبناءُ مُعْفَونَ مِنَها.

When Peter said, “From strangers,” Jesus said to him, “Then the sons are exempt.

27 و َلَكِنْ لِئَلّا نُسَبِّبَ لَهُمْ مُشْكِلَةً، اذْهَبْ إلَى البحَيرَةِ، وَألقِ صَنّارَةَ الصَّيدِ. ثُمَّ خُذْ أوَّلَ سَمَكَةٍ تَصطادُها، وَافتَحْ فَمَها. فَسَتَجِدُ فِيها قِطعَةً نَقدِيَّةً قيمَتُها أربَعَةُ دَراهِمِ. خُذْها وَأعطِها لَهُمْ عَنِّي وَعَنْكَ.»

However, so that we do not offend them, go to the sea and throw in a hook, and take the first fish that comes up; and when you open its mouth, you will find a shekel. Take that and give it to them for you and Me.”
