1 و َذَهَبَ يَسُوعُ مُجَدَّداً إلَى المَجمَعِ، وَكانَ هُناكَ رَجُلٌ يَدُهُ مَشلُولَةٌ.

And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was there a man having his hand dried up.

2 و َكانَ بَعضُ النّاسِ يُراقِبُونَهُ عَنْ قُرْبٍ، لِيَرَوا إنْ كانَ سَيَشفِيهِ، لِيَجِدُوا سَبَباً لاتِّهامِهِ.

And they watched him if he would heal him on the sabbath, that they might accuse him.

3 ف َقالَ لِلرَّجُلِ ذِي اليَدِ المَشلُولَةِ: «انهَضْ وَتَعالَ!»

And he says to the man who had his hand dried up, Rise up into the midst.

4 ث ُمَّ قالَ لَهُمْ: «هَلْ يَجُوزُ فِعلُ الخَيرِ أمِ الأذَى يَومَ السَّبتِ؟ أيَجُوزُ إنقاذُ حَياةِ إنسانٍ أمْ قَتلُهُ؟» فَسَكَتُوا.

And he says to them, Is it lawful on the sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill? But they were silent.

5 ف َنَظَرَ يَسُوعُ مِنْ حَولِهِ إلَيْهِمْ بَغَضَبٍ، وَحَزِنَ لِقَساوَةِ قُلُوبِهِمْ. ثُمَّ قالَ لِلرَّجُلِ: «ابسُطْ يَدَكَ،» فَبَسَطَها، فَعادَتْ سَلِيمَةً.

And looking round upon them with anger, distressed at the hardening of their heart, he says to the man, Stretch out thy hand. And he stretched out, and his hand was restored.

6 ف َخَرَجَ الفِرِّيسِيُّونَ وَابْتَدَأُوا يَتَآمَرُونَ مَعَ أتباعِ هِيرُودُسَ لِيَعرِفُوا كَيفَ يَقْتُلونَ يَسُوعَ. كَثِيرُونَ يَتبَعُونَ يَسُوع

And the Pharisees going out straightway with the Herodians took counsel against him, how they might destroy him.

7 و َتَوَجَّهَ يَسُوعُ مَعَ تَلامِيذِهِ إلَى بُحَيرَةِ الجَلِيلِ، وَتَبِعَهُمْ جَمْعٌ كَبِيرٌ مِنَ الجَلِيلِ وَمِنَ اليَهُودِيَّةِ أيضاً.

And Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the sea; and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judaea,

8 و َمِنَ القُدسِ وَأدُومِيَّةَ وَشَرْقِ نَهْرِ الأُردُنِّ، وَالمَناطِقِ المُحيطَةِ بِصُورٍ وَصَيداءَ، فَكانُوا جَمْعاً كَبيراً. وَقَدْ جاءُوا جَمِيعاً إلَيهِ بِسَبَبِ ما سَمِعُوهُ عَنْ أعمالِهِ.

and from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea and beyond the Jordan; and they of around Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, having heard what things he did, came to him.

9 ف َطَلَبَ يَسُوعُ مِنْ تَلامِيذِهِ أنْ يُجَهِّزُوا لَهُ قارِباً حَتَّى لا تَزْحَمَهُ الجُمُوعُ.

And he spoke to his disciples, in order that a little ship should wait upon him on account of the crowd, that they might not press upon him.

10 إ ذْ كانَ يَسُوعُ قَدْ شَفَى كَثِيرِينَ، فَكانَ كُلُّ مَنْ يُعانِي مِنْ مَرَضٍ يُحاوِلُ أنْ يَصِلَ إلَيهِ لِيَلْمَسَهُ.

For he healed many, so that they beset him that they might touch him, as many as had plagues.

11 و َكانَتِ الأرواحُ النَّجِسَةُ تَرتَمِي أمامَهُ وَتَصْرُخُ: «أنتَ هُوَ ابْنُ اللهِ!»

And the unclean spirits, when they beheld him, fell down before him, and cried saying, Thou art the Son of God.

12 ف َيُحَذِّرَهُا بِشِدَّةٍ مِنْ أنْ تَكْشِفَ مَنْ هُوَ. اختِيارُ الاثنَي عَشَر

And he rebuked them much, that they might not make him manifest.

13 ث ُمَّ صَعِدَ يَسُوعُ إلَى الجَبَلِ، وَدَعا إلَيهِ الَّذِينَ أرادَهُمْ، فَذَهَبوا مَعَهُ.

And he goes up into the mountain, and calls whom he himself would, and they went to him.

14 و َاختارَ يَسُوعُ اثنَي عَشَرَ رَجُلاً وَسَمّاهُمْ رُسُلاً، لِيَكُونُوا مَعَهُ، وَلِكَيْ يُرسِلَهُمْ إلَى أماكِنَ مُختَلِفَةٍ،

And he appointed twelve that they might be with him, and that he might send them to preach,

15 و َيُعطِيَهُمْ سُلْطاناً لِيَطرُدُوا الأرواحَ الشِّرِّيرَةَ.

and to have power to cast out demons.

16 و َهُمْ: سِمْعانُ، الَّذِي سَمّاهُ بُطرُسَ،

And he gave to Simon the surname of Peter;

17 ي َعقُوبُ بْنُ زَبَدِيْ وَأخَوهُ يُوحَنّا، وَقَدْ سَمّاهُما يَسُوعُ «بُوانَرْجِسَ» – أي «ابْنا الرَّعدِ،»

and James the of Zebedee, and John the brother of James, and he gave them the surname of Boanerges, that is, Sons of thunder;

18 أ ندراوُسُ، فِيلُّبُّسُ، بَرثُولَماوُسُ، مَتَّىْ، تُوما، يَعقُوبُ بْنُ حَلْفَىْ، سِمْعانُ القانُونِيُّ،

and Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Cananaean,

19 و َيَهُوذا الإسْخَريُوطِيُّ الَّذِي خانَهُ. قُوَّةُ يَسُوعَ مِنَ الله وَرَجِعَ يَسُوعُ إلَى البَيتِ.

and Judas Iscariote, who also delivered him up. And they come to house.

20 و َاجتَمَعَ النّاسُ ثانِيَةً حَولَه وَحَولَ تَلامِيذِهِ حَتَّى إنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَجِدُوا وَقتاً لِيَأكُلُوا.

And again a crowd comes together, so that they cannot even eat bread.

21 و َلَمّا سَمِعَتْ عائِلَةُ يَسُوعَ عَنْ مَجيئِهِ، جاءُوا لِيَأخُذُوهُ مَعَهُمْ، لِأنَّ النّاسَ كانُوا يَقُولُونَ إنَّهُ مَجنُونٌ!

And his relatives having heard went out to lay hold on him, for they said, He is out of his mind.

22 أ مّا مُعَلِّمُوا الشَّرِيعَةِ الَّذِينَ جاءُوا مِنَ القُدسِ فَكانُوا يَقُولُونَ: «إنَّ فِيهِ بَعلَزَبُولَ، وَهَوَ يُخرِجُ الأرواحَ الشِّرِّيرَةَ بِقُوَّةِ رَئِيسِ الأرواحِ الشِّرِّيرَةِ.»

And the scribes who had come down from Jerusalem said, He has Beelzebub, and, By the prince of the demons he casts out demons.

23 ف َدَعاهُمْ يَسُوعُ وَأخَذَ يُكَلِّمُهُمْ بِأمثالِ فَقالَ: «كَيفَ يُمكِنُ لِلشَّيطانِ أنْ يَطرُدَ رُوحاً شِرِّيراً؟

And having called them to, he said to them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan?

24 ل ِأنَّهُ إذا انقَسَمَتْ مَملَكَةُ وَتَحارَبَ أهلُها، فَلَنْ تَدُومَ.

And if a kingdom has become divided against itself, that kingdom cannot subsist.

25 و َإذا انقَسَمَ بَيتٌ عَلَى نَفسِهِ فَلَنْ يَدُومَ.

And if a house has become divided against itself, that house cannot subsist.

26 و َهَكَذا إذا حارَبَ الشَّيطانُ نَفسَهُ وَانقَسَمَ، فَلَنْ يَصْمُدَ أبَداً، بَلْ يَنتَهيْ أمرُهُ.

And if Satan rise up against himself, and is divided, he cannot subsist, but has an end.

27 « لا يُمكِنُ لأَحَدٍ أنْ يَدخُلَ بَيتَ رَجُلٍ قَوِيٍّ وَيَنهَبَ أملاكَهُ، إلّا إذا رَبَطَ الرَّجُلَ القَوِيَّ أوَّلاً. حِينَئِذٍ يُصبِحُ قادِراً عَلَى نَهبِ بَيتِهِ.

But no one can, having entered into his house, plunder the goods of the strong unless he first bind the strong, and then he will plunder his house.

28 « أقُولُ لَكُمُ الحَقَّ، جَمِيعُ الخَطايا تُغفَرُ لِلنّاسِ، وَحَتَّى الإهاناتِ الَّتِي يَقُولُونَها،

Verily I say unto you, that all sins shall be forgiven to the sons of men, and all the injurious speeches which they may speak injuriously;

29 أ مّا مَنْ يُهِينُ الرُّوحَ القُدُسَ، فَلَنْ يُغفَرَ لَهُ أبَداً، بَلْ سَيَكُونُ مُذنِباً إلَى الأبَدِ.»

but whosoever shall speak injuriously against the Holy Spirit, to eternity has no forgiveness; but lies under the guilt of an everlasting sin;

30 ق الَ هَذا لِأنَّ بَعضَهُمْ كانَ يَقُولُ إنَّ فِيهِ رُوحاً نَجِساً. أتباعُ يَسُوعَ هُمْ عائِلَتُهُ الحَقِيقِيَّة

—because they said, He has an unclean spirit.

31 و َجاءَتْ أُمُّهُ وَإخوَتُهُ، فَأرسَلُوا مَنْ يَستَدْعِيَهُ، بَينَما وَقَفُوا هُمْ خارِجاً.

And his brethren and his mother come, and standing without sent to him calling him.

32 و َكانَ النّاسُ يَجلِسُونَ حَولَهُ، فَقالُوا لَهُ: «ها أُمُّكَ وَإخوَتُكَ فِي الخارِجِ وَيُرِيدُونَ رُؤْيَتَكَ.»

And a crowd sat around him. And they said to him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren seek thee without.

33 ف َأجابَهُمْ: «مَنْ هُمْ أُمِّي وَإخوَتِي؟

And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother or my brethren?

34 ث ُمَّ نَظَرَ إلَى الجالِسِينَ حَولَهُ، وَقالَ: «هَؤُلاءِ هُمْ أُمِّي وَإخْوَتِي!

And looking around in a circuit at those that were sitting around him, he says, Behold my mother and my brethren:

35 ل ِأنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ يَعْمَلُ إرادَةَ اللهِ هُوَ أخِي وَأُخْتِي وَأُمِّي.»

for whosoever shall do the will of God, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.
