1 ه َذِهِ بِدايَةُ البِشارَةِ عَنْ يَسُوعَ المَسِيحِ ابْنِ اللهِ.

¶ The beginning of the gospel of Jesus, the Christ, Son of God,

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

as it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.

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

The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord; make his paths straight.

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

John baptized in the wilderness and preached the baptism of repentance for remission of sins.

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

And there went out unto him all the land of Judaea and those of Jerusalem and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins.

6 ك انَتْ ثِيابُهُ مِنْ وَبَرِ الجِمالِ، وَعَلَى وَسْطِهِ حِزامٌ مِنْ جِلْدٍ، وَيَأكُلُ الجَرادَ وَالعَسَلَ البَرِّيَّ.

John was clothed with camel’s hair and with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he ate locusts and wild honey

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

and preached, saying, There comes one mightier than I after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose.

8 أ نا عَمَّدُتُكُمْ في الماءِ، أمّا هُوَ فَسَيُعَمِّدُكُمْ في الرُّوحِ القَدَسِ.» مَعمُودِيَّةُ يَسُوع

I indeed have baptized you with water, but he shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit.

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

¶ And it came to pass in those days that Jesus came from Nazareth a city of Galilee and was baptized of John in the Jordan.

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

And as soon as he was come out of the water, John saw the heavens opened and the Spirit like a dove descending and resting upon him;

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

and there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my dear Son, in whom I delight.

12 و َاقتادَ الرُّوحُ يَسُوعَ إلَى البَرِّيَّةِ وَحدَهُ.

And immediately the Spirit drove him into the wilderness.

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

And he was there in the wilderness forty days and forty nights and was tempted of Satan and was with the wild beasts, and the angels ministered unto him.

14 و َبَعْدَ أنِ اعْتُقِلَ يُوحَنّا، جاءَ يَسُوعُ إلَى إقليمِ الجَلِيلِ، وَابتَدَأ يُعلِنُ بِشارَةَ اللهِ

¶ Now after John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God

15 و َيَقولُ: «قَدْ حانَ الوَقتُ، وَاقتَرَبَ مَلَكوتُ اللهِ، فَتُوبُوا وَآمِنُوا بِهَذِهِ البِشارَةِ.»

and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent ye and believe the gospel.

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

Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea, for they were fishers.

17 ف َقالَ لَهُما يَسُوعُ: «اتبَعانِي فَأجعَلَكُما تَصيرانِ صَيّادَينِ لِلنّاسِ.»

And Jesus said unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.

18 ف َتَرَكا شِباكَهُما حالاً وَتَبِعاهُ.

And straightway they forsook their nets and followed him.

19 ث ُمَّ سارَ قَلِيلاً، فَرَأى يَعقُوبَ بْنَ زَبَدِيّ وَأخاهُ يُوحَنّا وَهُما فِي قارِبِهِما يُجَهِّزانِ الشِّباكَ.

And when he had gone a little further from there, he saw James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, who also were in the ship mending their nets.

20 ف دَعاهُما يَسُوعُ، فَتَرَكا أباهُما زَبَدَيْ فِي القارِبِ مَعَ العُمّالِ وَتَبِعاهُ. يَسُوعُ يُخرِجُ رُوحاً شِرِّيراً

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

21 ث ُمَّ ذَهَبُوا إلَى كَفْرِناحُومَ، وَدَخَلَ يَسُوعُ إلَى المَجمَعِ يَومَ السَّبْتِ وَابْتَدَأ يُعَلِّمُ.

And they entered into Capernaum, and straightway on the sabbath days he entered into the synagogue and taught.

22 ف َذُهِلُوا مِنْ تَعلِيمِهِ، لِأنَّهُ عَلَّمَهُمْ كَمَنْ لَهُ سُلْطانٌ، وَلَيسَ كَمُعَلِّمِي الشَّرِيعَةِ.

And they marvelled at his learning, for he taught them as one that had power with him, and not as the scribes.

23 و َكانَ فِي المَجمَعِ رَجُلٌ فيهِ رُوحٌ نَجِسٌ. فَصَرَخَ الرُّوحُ:

¶ And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit, and he cried out,

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

saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? Art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.

25 ف َوَبَّخَهُ يَسُوعُ وَقالَ لَهُ: «اخرَسْ وَاخرُجْ مِنْهُ!»

And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Be silent, and come out of him.

26 ف َأدخَلَ الرُّوحُ النَّجِسُ الرَّجُلَ فِي نَوبَةٍ مِنَ التَّشَنُّجاتِ، ثُمَّ صَرَخَ صَرْخَةً عالِيَةً وَخَرَجَ مِنْهُ.

And the unclean spirit tore him and cried with a loud voice and came out of him.

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

And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? What new doctrine is this? for he commands the unclean spirits with power, and they obey him.

28 و َانتَشَرَتِ الأخبارُ عَنْهُ بِسُرعَةٍ فِي كُلِّ أنحاءِ إقليمِ الجَلِيلِ. يَسُوعُ يَشْفِي كَثيرين

And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region round about Galilee.

29 ث ُمَّ غادَرُوا المَجمَعَ، وَذَهَبُوا مَعَ يَعقُوبَ وَيُوحَنّا إلَى بَيتِ سِمْعانَ وَأندْراوُسَ.

¶ And forthwith, when they were come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

30 و َكانَتْ حَماةُ سِمْعانَ فِي الفِراشِ مُصابَةً بِالحُمَّى. فَأخبَرُوا يَسُوعَ عَنْها،

But Simon’s mother-in-law lay sick of a fever, and soon they told him of her.

31 ف َاقتَرَبَ مِنْها، وَأمسَكَ يَدَها وَأجلَسَها. فَتَرَكَتْها الحُمَّى، وَابتَدَأتْ تَخدِمُهُمْ.

And he came and took her by the hand and lifted her up; and the fever left her by and by, and she ministered unto them.

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

In the evening, when the sun was down, they brought unto him all that were diseased and those that were possessed with devils.

33 ف َاجتَمَعَ سُكّانُ المَدِينَةِ كُلِّها عِنْدَ بابِ البَيتِ.

And all the city was gathered together at the door.

34 ف َشَفَى 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

And he healed many that were sick of diverse diseases and cast out many devils and suffered not the devils to speak because they knew him.

35 و َفِي الصَّباحِ الباكِرِ قَبلَ شُروقِ الشَّمسِ، خَرَجَ يَسوعُ وَحدَهُ، وَذَهَبَ إلَى مَكانٍ مُنعَزِلٍ لِيُصَلِّيَ.

And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out and departed into a solitary place and prayed there.

36 ف َخَرَجَ سِمْعانُ وَمَنْ كانُوا مَعَهُ لِيَبْحَثُوا عَنْهُ.

And Simon and those that were with him followed after him.

37 و َعِندَما وَجَدُوهُ قالُوا لَهُ: «الجَمِيعُ يَبحَثُونَ عَنْكَ!»

And when they had found him, they said unto him, All men seek for thee.

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

And he said unto them, Let us go into the next towns that I may preach there also, for truly I came forth for that purpose.

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

And he preached in their synagogues throughout all Galilee and cast out devils.

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

¶ And a leper came to him, beseeching him and kneeling down to him and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

41 ف َتَحَنَّنَ يَسُوعُ، وَمَدَّ يَدَهُ وَلَمَسَهُ وَقالَ: «نَعَمْ أُرِيْدُ، فَاطْهُرْ.»

And Jesus, having mercy on him, put forth his hand and touched him and said unto him, I will; be thou clean.

42 ف َزالَ البَرَصُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ، وَأصبَحَ طاهِراً.

And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was clean.

43 ث ُمَّ حَذَّرَهُ يَسُوعُ بِشِدَّةٍ قَبلَ أنْ يَصرِفَهُ

And he straitly charged him and forthwith sent him away

44 و َقالَ 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.»

and said unto him, See thou say nothing to any man, but go, show thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

45 ل َكِنَّ 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.

But he went out and began to publish it much and to blaze abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was without in desert places; and they came to him from every quarter.
