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

He entered again into the synagogue, and there was a man there who had his hand withered.

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

They watched him, whether he would heal him on the Sabbath day, that they might accuse him.

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

He said to the man who had his hand withered, “Stand up.”

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

He said to them, “Is it lawful on the Sabbath day to do good, or to do harm? To save a 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.

When he had looked around at them with anger, being grieved at the hardening of their hearts, he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out, and his hand was restored as healthy as the other.

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

The Pharisees went out, and immediately conspired with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.

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

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

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

from Jerusalem, from Idumaea, beyond the Jordan, and those from around Tyre and Sidon. A great multitude, hearing what great things he did, came to him.

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

He spoke to his disciples that a little boat should stay near him because of the crowd, so that they wouldn’t press on him.

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

For he had healed many, so that as many as had diseases pressed on him that they might touch him.

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

The unclean spirits, whenever they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, “You are the Son of God!”

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

He sternly warned them that they should not make him known.

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

He went up into the mountain, and called to himself those whom he wanted, and they went to him.

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

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

15 و َيُعطِيَهُمْ سُلْطاناً لِيَطرُدُوا الأرواحَ الشِّرِّيرَةَ.

and to have authority to heal sicknesses and to cast out demons:

16 و َهُمْ: سِمْعانُ، الَّذِي سَمّاهُ بُطرُسَ،

Simon, to whom he gave the name Peter;

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

James the son of Zebedee; John, the brother of James, and he called them Boanerges, which means, Sons of Thunder;

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

Andrew; Philip; Bartholomew; Matthew; Thomas; James, the son of Alphaeus; Thaddaeus; Simon the Zealot;

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

and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him. He came into a house.

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

The multitude came together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread.

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

When his friends heard it, they went out to seize him: for they said, “He is insane.”

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

The scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, “He has Beelzebul,” and, “By the prince of the demons he casts out the demons.”

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

He summoned them, and said to them in parables, “How can Satan cast out Satan?

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

If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.

25 و َإذا انقَسَمَ بَيتٌ عَلَى نَفسِهِ فَلَنْ يَدُومَ.

If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.

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

If Satan has risen up against himself, and is divided, he can’t stand, 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 enter into the house of the strong man to plunder, unless he first binds the strong man; and then he will plunder his house.

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

Most certainly I tell you, all sins of the descendants of man will be forgiven, including their blasphemies with which they may blaspheme;

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

but whoever may blaspheme against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is subject to eternal condemnation.”

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.

His mother and his brothers came, and standing outside, they sent to him, calling him.

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

A multitude was sitting around him, and they told him, “Behold, your mother, your brothers, and your sisters are outside looking for you.”

33 ف َأجابَهُمْ: «مَنْ هُمْ أُمِّي وَإخوَتِي؟

He answered them, “Who are my mother and my brothers?”

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

Looking around at those who sat around him, he said, “Behold, my mother and my brothers!

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

For whoever does the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.”
