1 ث ُمَّ غادَرَ يَسُوعُ ذَلِكَ المَكانَ، وَجاءَ إلَى إقليمِ اليَهُودِيَّةِ، وَمَناطِقِ ما وَراءَ نَهْرِ الأُردُنِّ. وَاجتَمَعَ النّاسُ حَولَهُ مِنْ جَديدٍ، فَأخَذَ يُعَلِّمُهُمْ كَعادَتِهِ.

Getting up, He went from there to the region of Judea and beyond the Jordan; crowds gathered around Him again, and, according to His custom, He once more began to teach them.

2 و َجاءَ إلَيهِ بَعضُ الفِرِّيسِيِّينَ وَسَألُوهُ: «أيَجوزُ أنْ يُطَلِّقَ الرَّجُلُ زَوجَتَهُ؟» سَألُوهُ هَذا لِكَي يَصْطادُوهُ فِي أيِّ خَطَأ.

Some Pharisees came up to Jesus, testing Him, and began to question Him whether it was lawful for a man to divorce a wife.

3 ف َأجابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «ما الَّذِي أمَرَكُمْ بِهِ مُوسَى؟»

And He answered and said to them, “What did Moses command you?”

4 ف َقالوا: «مُوسَى سَمَحَ لَلرَّجُلِ بِأنْ يُطَلِّقَ زَوجَتَهُ بَعْدَ أنْ يُعطِيَها وَثيقَةَ طَلاقٍ.

They said, “ Moses permitted a man to write a certificate of divorce and send her away.”

5 ف َقالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «كَتَبَ مُوسَىْ هَذَهِ الوَصِيَّةَ بِسَبَبِ قُلُوبِكُمُ القاسِيَةِ!

But Jesus said to them, “ Because of your hardness of heart he wrote you this commandment.

6 و َلَكِنَّ اللهَ مُنذُ بِدايَةِ الخَليقَةِ ‹خَلَقَ النّاسَ ذَكَراً وَأُنثَى؟› ثُمَّ قالَ:

But from the beginning of creation, God made them male and female.

7 ‹ لِهَذا يَترُكُ الرَّجُلُ أباهُ وَأُمَّهُ، وَيَتَّحِدُّ بِزَوجَتِهِ،

For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother,

8 ف َيَصِيرَ الاثنانِ جَسَداً واحِداً.› وَبِهَذا لا يَكُونانِ فِيما بَعْدُ اثْنَينِ، بَلْ واحِداً.

and the two shall become one flesh; so they are no longer two, but one flesh.

9 ف َلا يَنبَغِي أنْ يَفصِلَ أحَدٌ بَينَ مَنْ جَمَعَهُما اللهُ.»

What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate.”

10 و َعِندَما كانُوا فِي البَيتِ، سَألَهُ تَلامِيذُهُ عَنْ هَذا الأمْرِ مُجَدَّداً.

In the house the disciples began questioning Him about this again.

11 ف َأجابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «كُلُّ مَنْ يُطَلِّقُ زَوجَتَهُ وَيَتَزَوَّجُ بِأُخرَى، يَرتَكِبُ الزِّنَى ضِدَّ زَوجَتِهِ.

And He said to them, “ Whoever divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her;

12 و َإنْ طَلَّقَتْ هِيَ رَجُلَها، وَتَزَوَّجَتْ بِآخَرَ، فَإنَّها تَزْنيْ.» يَسُوعُ يَقبَلُ الأطفال

and if she herself divorces her husband and marries another man, she is committing adultery.” Jesus Blesses Little Children

13 و َكانَ النّاسُ يُحضِرُونَ إلَيهِ الأطْفالَ لِيَلْمَسَهُمْ، وَأمّا التَّلامِيذُ فَكانُوا يُوَبِّخُونَهُمْ.

And they were bringing children to Him so that He might touch them; but the disciples rebuked them.

14 و َعِندَما رَأى يَسُوعُ ذَلِكَ، غَضِبَ، وَقالَ لَهُمْ: «دَعُوا الأطفالَ يَأتُونَ إلَيَّ، وَلا تَمنَعُوهُمْ عَنِّي، لِأنَّ لِمِثلِ هَؤُلاءِ مَلَكُوتَ اللهِ.

But when Jesus saw this, He was indignant and said to them, “Permit the children to come to Me; do not hinder them; for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

15 أ قُولُ لَكُمُ الحَقَّ، إنَّ مَنْ لا يَقبَلُ مَلَكُوتَ اللهِ كَطِفلٍ، لَنْ يَدخُلَهُ.»

Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it at all.”

16 و َدَعا يَسُوعُ الأطفالَ وَضَمَّهُمْ إلَيهِ، وَوَضَعَ يَدَيهِ عَلَيهِمْ، وَبارَكَهُمْ. عائِقُ الغِنَى

And He took them in His arms and began blessing them, laying His hands on them. The Rich Young Ruler

17 و َبَينَما كانَ يَسُوعُ فِي إحدَى جَولاتِهِ، أسرَعَ إلَيهِ رَجُلٌ وَسَجَدَ أمامَهُ وَسَألَهُ: «أيُّها المُعَلِّمُ الصّالِحُ، ماذا يَنبَغي أنْ أفعَلَ لِكَي أنالَ الحَياةَ الأبَدِيَّةَ؟»

As He was setting out on a journey, a man ran up to Him and knelt before Him, and asked Him, “Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”

18 ف َقالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «لِماذا تَدعُونِي صالِحاً؟ أتَعرِفُ أنَّهُ لا صالِحَ إلّا اللهُ؟

And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good except God alone.

19 أ نتَ تَعرِفُ الوَصايا: ‹لا تَقتُلْ، لا تَزْنِ، لا تَسرِقْ، لا تَشْهَدْ زوراً، لا تَحتَلْ عَلَى أحَدٍ، أكْرِمْ أباكَ وَأُمَّكَ.›»

You know the commandments, ‘ Do not murder, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honor your father and mother.’”

20 ف َقالَ لَهُ الرَّجُلُ: «يا مُعَلِّمُ، أنا أُطِيعُ كُلَّ هَذِهِ مُنذُ صِبايَ.»

And he said to Him, “Teacher, I have kept all these things from my youth up.”

21 أ مّا يَسُوعُ فَنَظَرَ إلَيهِ بِحُبٍّ وَقالَ: «يَنقُصُكَ شَيءٌ واحِدٌ فَقَطْ: اذْهَبْ وَبِعْ كُلِّ ما تَملِكُ وَأعطِ الفُقَراءَ. بِهَذا تَملِكُ كَنزاً فِي السَّماءِ، ثُمَّ تَعالَ اتبَعْنِي.»

Looking at him, Jesus felt a love for him and said to him, “One thing you lack: go and sell all you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.”

22 ف َبَدَتْ خَيبَةُ الأمَلِ عَلَى الرَّجُلِ بَعْدَ أنْ سَمِعَ هَذا، وَذَهَبَ حَزِيناً لِأنَّهُ كانَ غَنِيّاً جِدّاً.

But at these words he was saddened, and he went away grieving, for he was one who owned much property.

23 ف َنَظَرَ يَسُوعُ إلَى تَلامِيذِهِ وَقالَ لَهُمْ: «ما أصعَبَ أنْ يَدخُلَ أصحابُ الأموالِ مَلَكُوتَ اللهِ!»

And Jesus, looking around, said to His disciples, “ How hard it will be for those who are wealthy to enter the kingdom of God!”

24 ف َاندَهَشَ التَّلامِيذُ مِنْ كَلامِهِ. لَكِنَّهُ تابَعَ وَقالَ: «يا أبنائِي، ما أصَعْبَ دُخُولُ مَلَكوتِ اللهِ!

The disciples were amazed at His words. But Jesus answered again and said to them, “Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God!

25 أ نْ يَمُرَّ جَمَلٌ مِنْ ثُقبِ إبرَةٍ، أيسَرُ مِنْ أنْ يَدخُلَ غَنِيٌّ مَلَكُوتَ اللهِ.»

It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”

26 ف َازْدادَ التَّلامِيذُ دَهْشَةً وَكانُوا يَقُولُونَ: «فَمَنْ يُمكِنُ أنْ يَخلُصَ إذاً؟»

They were even more astonished and said to Him, “ Then who can be saved?”

27 ف َنَظَرَ يَسُوعُ إلَيْهِمْ وَقالَ: «هَذا مُستَحِيلٌ عِنْدَ النّاسِ، لِكَنْ لَيسَ عِنْدَ اللهِ، لأنَّ كُلُّ الأشياءِ مُمكِنَةٌ عِنْدَ اللهِ.»

Looking at them, Jesus said, “ With people it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God.”

28 ف َأخَذَ بُطرُسُ يَقُولُ: «ها نَحنُ قَدْ تَرَكنا كُلَّ شَيءٍ لِكَيْ نَتبَعَكَ!»

Peter began to say to Him, “Behold, we have left everything and followed You.”

29 ف َقالَ يَسُوعُ: «أقُولُ لَكُمُ الحَقَّ، مَنْ تَرَكَ بَيتاً أوْ إخْوَةً أوْ أخَواتٍ أوْ أُمّاً أوْ أباً أوْ أبناءً مِنْ أجليْ وَمِنْ أَجلِ إعلانِ البِشارَةِ،

Jesus said, “Truly I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or farms, for My sake and for the gospel’s sake,

30 س َيَنالُ مِئَةَ ضِعفٍ فِي هَذا الزَّمانِ: بُيُوتاً وَإخوَةً وَأخَواتٍ وَأُمَّهاتٍ وَأبناءً وَحُقُولاً، حَتَّى فِي وَسَطِ الاضْطِّهادِ. وَسَيَحيا فِي الحَياةِ الآتِيَةِ مَعَ اللهِ إلَى الأبَدِ.

but that he will receive a hundred times as much now in the present age, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and farms, along with persecutions; and in the age to come, eternal life.

31 ف كَثيرونَ هُمْ أوَّلُ النّاسِ الَّذينَ سَيَصيرونَ آخِرَ النّاسِ، وَكَثيرونَ هُمْ آخِرُ النّاسِ الَّذينَ سَيَصيرونَ أوَّلَ النّاسِ.» يَسُوعُ يُنبئُ بِمَوتِهِ وَقِيامَتِه

But many who are first will be last, and the last, first.” Jesus’ Sufferings Foretold

32 و َكانُوا مُنطَلِقينَ فِي طَرِيقِهِمْ إلَى القُدسِ، وَيَسُوعُ يَقُودُهُمْ. وَكانَ الَّذينَ يَتبَعُونَهُ خائِفينَ، أمّا الاثْنا عَشَرَ فَكانُوا مُندَهِشينَ جِدّاً. فَأخَذَ يَسُوعُ تَلامِيذَهُ جانِباً وَابتَدَأ يُخبِرُهُمْ مُجَدَّداً عَنْ ما سَيَحدُثُ لَهُ، فَقالَ:

They were on the road going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was walking on ahead of them; and they were amazed, and those who followed were fearful. And again He took the twelve aside and began to tell them what was going to happen to Him,

33 « ها نَحنُ ذاهِبُونَ إلَى مَدينَةِ القُدْسِ حَيثُ سَيُسَلَّمُ ابْنُ الإنسانِ إلَى كِبارِ الكَهَنَةِ وَمُعَلِّمِي الشَّرِيعَةِ فَيَحكُمُونَ عَلَيهِ بِالمَوْتِ، وَيُسَلِّمُونَهُ إلَى غَيرِ المُؤمِنينَ،

saying, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and the scribes; and they will condemn Him to death and will hand Him over to the Gentiles.

34 ف َيَسْخَرُونَ بِهِ، وَيَبصِقُونَ عَلَيهِ، ويجلِدُونَهُ، ثُمَّ يَقتُلُونَهُ. أمّا هُوَ فَسَيَقُومُ مِنَ المَوتِ فِي اليَومِ الثّالِثِ.» مَطلَبُ يَعقُوبُ وَيُوحَنّا

They will mock Him and spit on Him, and scourge Him and kill Him, and three days later He will rise again.”

35 و َجاءَ إلَيهِ يَعقُوبُ وَيُوحَنّا ابْنا زَبَدِي وَقالا: «يا مُعَلِّمُ، نُرِيدُ مِنْكَ أنْ تُحَقِّقَ لَنا ما سَنَطلُبُهُ مِنْكَ.»

James and John, the two sons of Zebedee, came up to Jesus, saying, “Teacher, we want You to do for us whatever we ask of You.”

36 ف َقالَ لَهُما يَسُوعُ: «ماذا تُرِيدانِ مِنِّي أنْ أفعَلَ لَكُما؟»

And He said to them, “What do you want Me to do for you?”

37 ف َقالا لَهُ: «أعطِنا امتِيازَ الجُلُوسِ مَعَكَ فِي مَجدِكَ، واحِداً عَنْ يَمِينِكَ وَالآخَرَ عَنْ يَسارِكَ.»

They said to Him, “ Grant that we may sit, one on Your right and one on Your left, in Your glory.”

38 ف َقالَ لَهُما: «أنتُما لا تَعلَمانِ ما الَّذِي تَطلُبانِهِ. هَلْ تَستَطِيعانِ أنْ تَشْرَبا الكَأسَ الَّتِي سَأشرَبُها؟ وَأنْ تَتَعَمَّدا المَعمُودِيَّةَ الَّتِي سَأتَعَمَّدُها؟»

But Jesus said to them, “You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, or to be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?”

39 ف َأجاباهُ: «نَستَطِيعُ.» فَقالَ لَهُما: «سَتَشرَبانِ الكَأسَ الَّذِي سَأشرَبُهُ، وَسَتَتَعَمَّدانِ المَعمُودِيَّةَ الَّتِي سَأتَعَمَّدُها،

They said to Him, “We are able.” And Jesus said to them, “The cup that I drink you shall drink; and you shall be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized.

40 أ مّا الجُلوسُ عَنْ يَمِينِي أوْ عَنْ يَسارِي، فَلا أستَطيعُ أَنْ أُعطِيَهُ إلّا لِمَنْ أُعِدَّ لَهُمْ.»

But to sit on My right or on My left, this is not Mine to give; but it is for those for whom it has been prepared.”

41 ف َلَمّا سَمِعَ العَشْرَةُ الباقُونَ هَذا الطَّلَبَ، ابْتَدَأُوا يَغتَظاونَ جِدّاً مِنْ يَعقُوبَ وَيُوحَنّا.

Hearing this, the ten began to feel indignant with James and John.

42 ف َدَعاهُمْ يَسُوعُ إلَيهِ وَقالَ لَهُمْ: «تَعرِفُونَ أنَّ مَنْ يُعتَبَرُونَ حُكّاماً عَلَى الأُمَمِ يُمارِسُونَ حُكماً مُطلَقاً عَلَى شُعُوبِهِمْ، وَقادَتُهُمْ يُمارِسُونَ سُلُطاتِهِمْ عَلَيهِمْ.

Calling them to Himself, Jesus said to them, “You know that those who are recognized as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them; and their great men exercise authority over them.

43 ل َكِنَّ هَذا لا يَنْبَغِي أنْ يَكُونَ بَينَكُمْ، بَلْ مَنْ أرادَ أنْ يَكُونَ عَظِيماً بَينَكُمْ، فَعَلَيهِ أنْ يَكُونَ خادِمَكُمْ.

But it is not this way among you, but whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant;

44 و َمَنْ أرادَ أنْ يَكُونَ الأوَّلَ بَينَكُمْ، فَعَلَيهِ أنْ يَكُونَ عَبْداً لِلجَمِيعِ.

and whoever wishes to be first among you shall be slave of all.

45 ل أنَّ ابْنَ الإنسانِ أيضاً لَمْ يَأتِ لِيُخدَمَ، بَلْ لِيَخدِمَ، وَلِيُقَدِّمَ حَياتَهُ فِديَةً لِتَحرِيرِ كَثِيرِينَ.» يَسُوعُ يَشفِي رَجُلاً أعمَى

For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.” Bartimaeus Receives His Sight

46 ث ُمَّ جاءُوا إلَى أرِيحا، وَبَينَما هُوَ خارِجٌ مِنْ أرِيحا مَعَ تَلامِيذِهِ وَمَعَ جَمْعٍ كَبِيرٍ مِنَ النّاسِ، كانَ ابْنُ تِيماوُسَ: بارتِيماوُسُ الأعمَى، جالِساً عَلَى جانِبِ الطَّرِيقِ يَتَسَوَّلُ.

Then they came to Jericho. And as He was leaving Jericho with His disciples and a large crowd, a blind beggar named Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, was sitting by the road.

47 ف َلَمّا سَمِعَ أنَّ المارَّ مِنْ هُناكَ هُوَ يَسُوعُ النّاصِرِيَّ، ابتَدَأ يَصرُخُ وَيَقُولُ: «يا يَسُوعُ، يا ابْنَ داوُدَ، ارحَمْنِي.»

When he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out and say, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”

48 ف َوَبَّخَهُ كَثيرونَ وَأمَرُوهُ بِأنْ يَسكُتَ، لَكِنَّهُ رَفَعَ صَوتَهُ أكثَرَ: «يا ابْنَ داوُدَ، ارحَمنِي!»

Many were sternly telling him to be quiet, but he kept crying out all the more, “ Son of David, have mercy on me!”

49 ف َتَوَقَّفَ يَسُوعُ وَقالَ: «ادعُوهُ إلَى هُنا.» فَفَعَلُوا، وَكانُوا يَقُولُونَ لَهُ: «تَشَجَّعْ، انهَضْ، ها إنَّ يَسُوعَ يَدعُوكَ.»

And Jesus stopped and said, “Call him here.” So they called the blind man, saying to him, “ Take courage, stand up! He is calling for you.”

50 ف َقَفَزَ وَطَرَحَ رِداءَهُ وَتَوَجَّهَ إلَى يَسُوعَ.

Throwing aside his cloak, he jumped up and came to Jesus.

51 ف َسَألَهُ يَسُوعُ: «ماذا تُرِيدُ مِنِّي أنْ أفعَلَ مِنْ أجلِكَ؟» فَأجابَهُ: «يا مُعَلِّمِي العَظِيمَ، أُرِيدُ أنْ أرَىْ.»

And answering him, Jesus said, “What do you want Me to do for you?” And the blind man said to Him, “ Rabboni, I want to regain my sight!”

52 ف َقالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «لَقَدْ شَفاكَ إيمانُكَ.» فَاسْتَعادَ الرَّجُلُ بَصَرَهُ فَوراً، وَتَبِعَ يَسُوعَ فِي الطَّرِيقِ.

And Jesus said to him, “Go; your faith has made you well.” Immediately he regained his sight and began following Him on the road.
