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 the hand withered,

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

and they were watching him, whether on the sabbaths he will heal him, that they might accuse him.

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

And he saith to the man having the hand withered, `Rise up in the midst.'

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

And he saith to them, `Is it lawful on the sabbaths to do good, or to do evil? life to save, 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 having looked round upon them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their heart, he saith to the man, `Stretch forth thy hand;' and he stretched forth, and his hand was restored whole as the other;

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

and the Pharisees having gone forth, immediately, with the Herodians, were taking 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 unto the sea, and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and 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.

and from Jerusalem, and from Idumea and beyond the Jordan; and they about Tyre and Sidon -- a great multitude -- having heard how great things he was doing, came unto him.

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

And he said to his disciples that a little boat may wait on him, because of the multitude, that they may 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 did heal many, so that they threw themselves on him, in order to 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 were seeing him, were falling down before him, and were crying, saying -- `Thou art the Son of God;'

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

and many times he was charging them that they might not make him manifest.

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

And he goeth up to the mountain, and doth call near whom he willed, and they went away to him;

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

and he appointed twelve, that they may be with him, and that he may send them forth to preach,

15 و َيُعطِيَهُمْ سُلْطاناً لِيَطرُدُوا الأرواحَ الشِّرِّيرَةَ.

and to have power to heal the sicknesses, and to cast out the demons.

16 و َهُمْ: سِمْعانُ، الَّذِي سَمّاهُ بُطرُسَ،

And he put on Simon the name Peter;

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

and James of Zebedee, and John the brother of James, and he put on them names -- 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 of Alpheus, and Thaddeus, and Simon the Cananite,

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

and Judas Iscariot, who did also deliver him up; and they come into a house.

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

And come together again doth a multitude, so that they are not able even to eat bread;

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

and his friends having heard, went forth to lay hold on him, for they said that he was beside himself,

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 from Jerusalem having come down, said -- `He hath Beelzeboul,' and -- `By the ruler of the demons he doth cast out the demons.'

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

And, having called them near, in similes he said to them, `How is the Adversary able to cast out the Adversary?

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

and if a kingdom against itself be divided, that kingdom cannot be made to stand;

25 و َإذا انقَسَمَ بَيتٌ عَلَى نَفسِهِ فَلَنْ يَدُومَ.

and if a house against itself be divided, that house cannot be made to stand;

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

and if the Adversary did rise against himself, and hath been divided, he cannot be made to stand, but hath 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.

`No one is able the vessels of the strong man -- having entered into his house -- to spoil, if first he may not bind the strong man, and then his house he will spoil.

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

`Verily I say to you, that all the sins shall be forgiven to the sons of men, and evil speakings with which they might speak evil,

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

but whoever may speak evil in regard to the Holy Spirit hath not forgiveness -- to the age, but is in danger of age-during judgment;'

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

because they said, `He hath an unclean spirit.'

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

Then come do his brethren and mother, and standing without, they sent unto him, calling him,

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

and a multitude was sitting about him, and they said to him, `Lo, thy mother and thy brethren without do seek thee.'

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 having looked round in a circle to those sitting about him, he saith, `Lo, my mother and my brethren!

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

for whoever may do the will of God, he is my brother, and my sister, and mother.'
