picture

1 ث ُمَّ نَزَلَ يَسُوعُ مِنْ مِنْطَقَةِ الجِبالِ، وَتَبِعَهُ كَثِيرُونَ.

When Jesus came down from the mountain, great throngs followed Him.

2 و َأتَى إلَيهِ رَجُلٌ أبرَصٌ وَسَجَدَ أمامَهُ وَقالَ: «يا سَيِّدُ، أنتَ قادِرٌ أنْ تَجعَلَنِي طاهِراً، إنْ أرَدْتَ.»

And behold, a leper came up to Him and, prostrating himself, worshiped Him, saying, Lord, if You are willing, You are able to cleanse me by curing me.

3 ف َمَدَّ يَسُوعُ يَدَهُ وَلَمَسَهُ وَقالَ: «نَعَمْ أُرِيْدُ، فَاطْهُرْ.» فَفِي الحالِ طَهُرَ بَرَصُهُ.

And He reached out His hand and touched him, saying, I am willing; be cleansed by being cured. And instantly his leprosy was cured and cleansed.

4 ث ُمَّ قالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «إيّاكَ أنْ تُخبِرَ أحَداً بِما حَدَثَ مَعَكَ، بَلِ اذْهَبْ وَأرِ نَفسَكَ لِلكاهِنِ، وَقَدِّمْ التَّقْدِمَةَ الَّتي أمَرَ بِها مُوسَى، فَيَعلَمَ النّاسُ أنَّكَ شُفِيْتَ.» إيمانُ ضابِطٍ رُومانِيّ

And Jesus said to him, See that you tell nothing about this to anyone; but go, show yourself to the priest and present the offering that Moses commanded, for a testimony and as an evidence to the people.

5 و َدَخَلَ يَسُوعُ مَدِينَةَ كَفْرِناحُومَ، فَجاءَ إلَيهِ ضابِطٌ رُومانِيٌّ

As Jesus went into Capernaum, a centurion came up to Him, begging Him,

6 و َقالَ: «يا سَيِّدُ، خادِمِي مَرِيضٌ جِدّاً، وَطَرِيحُ الفِراشِ فِي البَيتِ. إنَّهُ بِلا حِراكٍ وَيُعانِي مِنْ ألَمٍ شَدِيدٍ.»

And saying, Lord, my servant boy is lying at the house paralyzed and distressed with intense pains.

7 ف َقالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «سَأذهَبُ وَأشفِيهِ.»

And Jesus said to him, I will come and restore him.

8 ف َأجابَهُ الضّابِطُ: «يا سَيِّدُ، أنا لا أستَحِقُّ أنْ تَدخُلَ بَيتِي، ما عَلَيكَ إلّا أنْ تَقُولَ كَلِمَةً فَيُشفَى خادِمِي.

But the centurion replied to Him, Lord, I am not worthy or fit to have You come under my roof; but only speak the word, and my servant boy will be cured.

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

For I also am a man subject to authority, with soldiers subject to me. And I say to one, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my slave, Do this, and he does it.

10 ف َلَمّا سَمِعهُ يَسُوعُ، انْدَهَشَ وَقالَ لِلَّذِينَ كانُوا يَتبَعُونَهُ: «أقولُ الحَقَّ لَكُمْ، إنِّي لَمْ أجِدْ مِثلَ هَذا الإيمانِ حَتَّى بَينَ بَنِي إسرائِيلَ.

When Jesus heard him, He marveled and said to those who followed Him '> who adhered steadfastly to Him, conforming to His example in living and, if need be, in dying also], I tell you truly, I have not found so much faith as this with anyone, even in Israel.

11 أ قُولُ لَكُمْ إنَّهُ سَيَأتِي كَثِيرُونَ مِنَ الشَّرقِ وَالغَربِ، وَسَيَأخُذُونَ أماكِنَكُمْ فِي الوَلِيمَةِ مَعَ إبْراهِيمَ وَإسْحَقَ وَيَعقُوبَ، فِي مَلَكُوتِ السَّماواتِ.

I tell you, many will come from east and west, and will sit at table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven,

12 أ مّا أُولَئِكَ الَّذِينَ كانَ يَنبَغِي أنْ يَرِثُوا المَلَكُوتَ، فَسَيُلْقَونَ إلَى الظُّلمَةِ فِي الخارِجِ. هُناكَ سَيَبكِي النّاسُ، وَيَصِرُّونَ عَلَى أسنانِهِمْ!»

While the sons and heirs of the kingdom will be driven out into the darkness outside, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.

13 ث ُمَّ قالَ يَسُوعُ لِلضّابِطِ: «اذْهَبْ، وَلْيَكُنْ ما آمَنْتَ بِهِ.» فَشُفِيَ خادِمُ ذَلِكَ الضّابِطِ فِي تِلكَ اللَّحظَةِ نَفسِها. «حَمَلَ أمراضَنا»

Then to the centurion Jesus said, Go; it shall be done for you as you have believed. And the servant boy was restored to health at that very moment.

14 و َعِندَما جاءَ يَسُوعُ إلَى بَيتِ بُطرُسَ، رَأى حَماةَ بُطرُسَ مُستَلْقِيَةً فِي السَّرِيرِ، وَحَرارَتُها مُرتَفِعَةٌ جِدّاً.

And when Jesus went into Peter’s house, He saw his mother-in-law lying ill with a fever.

15 ف َلَمَسَ يَسُوعُ يَدَها، فَتَرَكَتْها الحُمَّىْ، فَقامَتْ وَابتَدَأتْ تَخدِمُهُ.

He touched her hand and the fever left her; and she got up and began waiting on Him.

16 و َفِي ذَلِكَ المَساءِ، أحضَرَ إلَيهِ النّاسُ أشخاصاً كَثِيرِينَ مَسكُونِينَ بِأرواحٍ شِرِّيرَةٍ، فَطَرَدَ الأرواحَ بِأمرٍ مِنْ فَمِهِ، وَشَفَى جَمِيعَ المَرضَى.

When evening came, they brought to Him many who were under the power of demons, and He drove out the spirits with a word and restored to health all who were sick.

17 ح َدَثَ هَذا لِيَتِمَّ ما قالَهُ اللهُ عَلَى لِسانِ النَّبِيِّ إشَعْياءَ: «هُوَ أخَذَ اعتِلالاتِنا، وَحَمَلَ أمراضَنا.» اتِّباعُ يَسُوع

And thus He fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah, He Himself took '> in order to carry away] our weaknesses and infirmities and bore away our diseases.

18 و َإذْ رَأى يَسُوعُ أُناساً كَثِيرِينَ حَولَهُ، أمَرَ تَلامِيذَهُ بِالذَّهابِ إلَى الجِهَةِ المُقابِلَةِ مِنَ البُحَيرَةِ.

Now Jesus, when He saw the great throngs around Him, gave orders to cross to the other side.

19 ف َجاءَ إلَيهِ أحَدُ مُعَلِّمِي الشَّرِيعَةِ وَقالَ لَهُ: «يا مُعَلِّمُ، سَأتبَعُكَ أينَما ذَهَبْتَ.»

And a scribe came up and said to Him, Master, I will accompany You wherever You go.

20 ف َقالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «لِلثَّعالِبِ جُحُورٌ، وَلِطُيُورِ السَّماءِ أعشاشٌ، أمّا ابنُ الإنسانِ فَلَيْسَ لَهُ مَكانٌ يَسنِدُ عَلَيْهِ رَأْسَهُ.»

And Jesus replied to him, Foxes have holes and the birds of the air have lodging places, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.

21 و َقالَ لَهُ تِلمِيذٌ آخَرُ مِنْ تَلامِيذِهِ: «يارَبُّ، اسْمَحْ لِي أنْ أنْتَظِرَ إلَى أنْ أدفِنَ أبِي.»

Another of the disciples said to Him, Lord, let me first go and bury '> care for till death] my father.

22 و َلَكِنَّ يَسُوعَ قالَ لَهُ: «اتبَعنِي، وَدَعِ الأمْواتَ يَدفِنُونَ مَوتاهُمْ.» يَسُوعُ يُهَدِّئِ العاصِفَة

But Jesus said to him, Follow Me, and leave the dead '> in sin] to bury their own dead.

23 و َرَكِبَ يَسُوعُ القارِبَ، وَتَبِعَهُ تَلامِيذُهُ.

And after He got into the boat, His disciples followed Him.

24 ث ُمَّ هاجَتْ فِي البُحَيرَةِ عاصِفَةٌ شَدِيدَةٌ، حَتَّىْ إنَّ القارِبَ تَغَطَّى بِالأمواجِ. أمّا يَسُوعُ فَكانَ نائِماً.

And suddenly, behold, there arose a violent storm on the sea, so that the boat was being covered up by the waves; but He was sleeping.

25 ف َاقتَرَبُوا مِنْهُ وَأيقَظُوهُ وَقالوا: «يا سَيِّدُ، خَلِّصْنا، فَإنَّنا نَغْرَقُ.»

And they went and awakened Him, saying, Lord, rescue and preserve us! We are perishing!

26 ف َقالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «لِماذا أنتُمْ خائِفُونَ، يا قَلِيلِي الإيمانِ؟» ثُمَّ قامَ وَانتَهَرَ الرِّياحَ وَالبُحَيرَةَ، فَسادَ هُدُوءٌ عَظِيمٌ.

And He said to them, Why are you timid and afraid, O you of little faith? Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great and wonderful calm ( a perfect peaceableness).

27 أ مّا هُمْ فَدُهِشوا وَقالُوا: «أيُّ رَجُلٍ هَذا، حَتَّىْ إنَّ الرِّياحَ وَالبَحْرَ يُطِيعانِهِ؟» يَسُوعُ يُخرِجُ أرواحاً شِرِّيرَةً مِنْ رَجُلَين

And the men were stunned with bewildered wonder and marveled, saying, What kind of Man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him!

28 ث ُمَّ وَصَلَ يَسُوعُ إلَى مِنْطَقَةِ الجَدرِيِّينَ عَلَى الجانِبِ الآخَرِ مِنَ البُحَيرَةِ، فَجاءَ إلَيهِ رَجُلانِ مِنْ بَينِ القُبُورِ مَسكُونانِ بِأرواحٍ شِرِّيرَةٍ. وَكانَ الرَّجُلانْ خَطِرَينِ، لِذَلِكَ لَمْ يَكُنْ أحَدٌ يَجرُؤُ عَلَى السَّفَرِ فِي ذَلِكَ الطَّرِيقِ.

And when He arrived at the other side in the country of the Gadarenes, two men under the control of demons went to meet Him, coming out of the tombs, so fierce and savage that no one was able to pass that way.

29 ف َصَرَخَتِ الأرْواحُ الشِّرِّيرَةُ: «ماذا تُرِيدُ مِنّا يا ابْنَ اللهِ؟ هَلْ أتَيتَ هُنا لِتُعَذِّبَنا قَبلَ الوَقتِ المُحَدَّدِ؟»

And behold, they shrieked and screamed, What have You to do with us, Jesus, Son of God? Have You come to torment us before the appointed time?

30 و َكانَ هُناكَ قَطِيعٌ كَبِيرٌ مِنَ الخَنازِيرِ يَرعَى عَلَى مَسافَةٍ مِنهُمْ.

Now at some distance from there a drove of many hogs was grazing.

31 ف َتَوَسَّلَتِ الأرْواحُ الشِّرِّيرَةُ إلَيهِ وَقالَتْ: «إنْ أخَرَجْتَنا، أرسِلْنا إلَى قَطِيعِ الخَنازِيرِ.»

And the demons begged Him, If You drive us out, send us into the drove of hogs.

32 ف َقالَ يَسُوعُ: «اذْهَبُوا.» فَخَرَجَتِ الأرْواحُ الشِّرِّيرَةُ مِنَ الرَّجُلَينِ، وَدَخَلَتْ فِي الخَنازِيرِ. حِينَئِذٍ اندَفَعَ كُلُّ القَطِيعِ مِنْ أعلَى حافَّةِ الجَبَلِ إلَى البُحَيرَةِ، وَغَرِقَتِ الخَنازِيرُ فِي الماءِ.

And He said to them, Begone! So they came out and went into the hogs, and behold, the whole drove rushed down the steep bank into the sea and died in the water.

33 ف َهَرَبَ الرُّعاةُ إلَى البَلْدَةِ، وَأخبَرُوا النّاسَ بِما حَدَثَ لِلمَسكُونَينِ بِأرْواحٍ شِرِّيرَةٍ.

The herdsmen fled and went into the town and reported everything, including what had happened to the men under the power of demons.

34 ف َخَرَجَ جَمِيعُ أهلِ البَلْدَةِ لِيَرَوْا يَسُوعَ. وَعِندَما رَأَوْهُ، رَجَوْهُ أنْ يُغادِرَ مِنطَقَتَهُمْ.

And behold, the whole town went out to meet Jesus; and as soon as they saw Him, they begged Him to depart from their locality.
