1 و َفِي تِلْكَ الأيّامِ اجتَمَعَ حَشْدٌ كَبِيرٌ مِنَ النّاسِ ثانِيَةً، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ هُناكَ شَيءٌ لِيَأكُلُوهُ. فَاسْتَدْعَى يَسُوعُ تَلامِيذَهُ وَقالَ لَهُمْ:
In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples unto him, and saith unto them,
2 « إنَّنِي أُشفِقُ عَلَى هَؤُلاءِ النّاسِ، فَهُمْ مَعِي مُنذُ ثَلاثَةِ أيّامٍ وَلا شَيءَ مَعَهُمْ لِيَأكُلُوا
I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat:
3 و َإنْ أرسَلْتُهُمْ إلَى بُيُوتِهِمْ جَوعَى، فَسَيُغْمَىْ عَلَيهِمْ فِي الطَّرِيقِ. لِأنَّ بَعضَهُمْ جاءَ مِنْ أمكِنَةٍ بَعِيدَةٍ.»
And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for divers of them came from far.
4 ف َأجابَهُ تَلامِيذُهُ: «وَأينَ نَستَطِيعُ أنْ نَجِدَ طَعاماً كافِياً لِكُلِّ هَؤُلاءِ فِي هَذا المَكانِ المُقفِرِ.»
And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these men with bread here in the wilderness?
5 ف َسَألَهُمْ: «كَمْ رَغِيفاً لَدَيكُمْ؟» فَقالُوا: «سَبعَةُ أرغِفَةٍ.»
And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.
6 ف َأمَرَ يَسُوعُ النّاسَ بِالجُلُوسِ عَلَى الأرْضِ، وَأخَذَ الأرغِفَةَ السَّبْعَةَ، وَشَكَرَ، وَقَسَّمَ الأرغِفَةَ وَأعطَى تَلاميذَهَ لِيُوَزِّعُوها عَلَى النّاسِ، فَوَزَّعُوها عَلَى الجَمِيعِ.
And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to his disciples to set before them; and they did set them before the people.
7 و َكانَ مَعَهُمْ بَعْضُ السَّمَكِ الصَّغِيرِ أيضاً، فَشَكَرَ، وَأمَرَ تَلامِيذَهُ بِأنْ يُوَزِّعُوها.
And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded to set them also before them.
8 ف َأكَلَ الجَمِيعُ وَشَبِعُوا، ثُمَّ جَمَعُوا سَبْعَ سِلالٍ مِنْ كِسَرِ الطَّعامِ.
So they did eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets.
9 و َقَدْ كانَ عَدَدُ الَّذينَ أكَلوا نَحْوَ أربَعَةِ آلافِ شَخصٍ. ثُمَّ صَرَفَهُمْ يَسُوعُ،
And they that had eaten were about four thousand: and he sent them away.
10 و َصَعِدَ إلَى القارِبِ مَعَ تَلامِيذِهِ وَجاءَ إلَى مِنْطَقَةِ دَلْمانُوثَةَ. الفِرِّيسِيُّونَ يَمتَحِنُونَ يَسُوع
And straightway he entered into a ship with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha.
11 و َجاءَ الفِرِّيسِيُّونَ وَابتَدَأُوا يُحاوِرُونَهُ. وَطَلَبُوا مِنْهُ بُرهاناً مِنَ السَّماءِ لِيَمتَحِنوهُ.
And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him.
12 ف َتَنَهَّدَ يَسُوعُ بِعُمْقٍ، وَقالَ لَهُمْ: «لِماذا يَطلُبُ هَذا الجِيلُ بُرهاناً لِكَيْ يؤمِنَ؟ أقُولُ لَكُمُ الحَقَّ، لَنْ يُعطَى بُرهانٌ لِهَذا الجِيلِ.»
And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek after a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation.
13 ث ُمَّ تَرَكَهُمْ يَسُوعُ وَصَعِدَ فِي القارِبِ، وَاتَّجَهَ إلَى الضِفَّةِ الأُخرَى مِنَ البُحَيرَةِ. يَسُوعُ يُحَذِّرُ مِنْ تَعليمِ اليَهُود
And he left them, and entering into the ship again departed to the other side.
14 و َنَسِيَ التَّلامِيذُ أنْ يُحضِرُوا خُبْزاً، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ مَعَهُمْ فِي القارِبِ إلّا رَغِيفٌ واحِدٌ.
Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, neither had they in the ship with them more than one loaf.
15 و َكانَ يَسُوعُ يُحَذِّرُهُمْ فَيَقولُ: «احذَرُوا وَاحتَرِسُوا مِنْ خَمِيرَةِ الفِرِّيسِيِّينَ وَخَمِيرَةِ هِيرُودُسَ.»
And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod.
16 ف َابتَدَأ التَّلامِيذُ يَقولُ أحَدُهُمْ لِلآخَرِ: «لَكِنْ لَيسَ لَدَينا خُبْزٌ!»
And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have no bread.
17 ف َعَلِمَ يَسُوعُ وَقالَ لَهُمْ: «لِماذا تَتَحَدَّثُونَ حَولَ عَدَمِ وُجودِ خُبْزٍ؟ ألَمْ تُدرِكُوا وَتَفهَمُوا بَعْدُ؟ أمْ أنَّ قُلُوبَكُمْ قَدْ تَقَسَّتْ؟
And when Jesus knew it, he saith unto them, Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither understand? have ye your heart yet hardened?
18 أ لَيسَ لَكُمْ عُيُونٌ؟ فَلِماذا لا تُبصِرُونَ؟ ألَيسَ لَكُمْ آذانٌ؟ فَلِماذا لا تَسمَعُونَ وَلا تَتَذكَّرُونَ؟
Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?
19 ع ِندَما قَسَّمْتُ الأرغِفَةَ الخَمْسَةَ لِلخَمسَةِ آلافِ رَجُلٍ، كَمْ مِنَ السِّلالِ مَلأتُمْ مِنْ بَواقِي الطَّعامِ؟» قالُوا: «اثْنَتَي عَشْرَةَ سَلَّةً.»
When I brake the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say unto him, Twelve.
20 « وَكَمْ سَلَّةً مَلأتُمْ مِنَ البَواقِي عِندَما قَسَّمْتُ الأرغِفَةَ السَّبْعَةَ لِلأربَعَةِ آلافِ رَجُلٍ؟» قالُوا: «سَبْعُ سِلالٍ.»
And when the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven.
21 ف َقالَ لَهُمْ: «إذاً لِماذا لَمْ تَفهَموا بَعْدُ؟» يَسُوعُ يَشفِي أعمَى فِي بَيتِ صَيدا
And he said unto them, How is it that ye do not understand?
22 ث ُمَّ جاءَ إلَى بَيتِ صَيدا، فَأحضَرَ إلَيهِ بَعْضُ النّاسِ رَجُلاً أعمَىً، وَتَوَسَّلُوا إلَيهِ أنْ يَضَعَ يَدَيهِ عَلَيهِ.
And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him.
23 ف َأمْسَكَ يَسُوعُ بِيَدِ الأعمَى، وَأخَذَهُ إلَى خارِجِ البَلدَةِ. ثُمَّ تَفَلَ عَلَى عَينَيهِ، وَوَضَعَ يَدَيهِ عَلَيهِ، وَسَألَهُ: «هَلْ تَرَى شَيئاً الآنَ؟»
And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought.
24 ف َنَظَرَ الرَّجُلُ وَقالَ: «أرَى النّاسَ كَأشجارٍ تَمشِي.»
And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.
25 ف َوَضَعَ يَسُوعُ يَدَيهِ عَلَى عَينَي الرَّجُلِ ثانِيَةً، فَفَتَحَ الرَّجُلُ عَينيهِ تَماماً، فَشُفِيَ وَأبصَرَ كَلَّ شَيءٍ بِوضُوحٍ.
After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.
26 ف أرسَلَهُ يَسُوعُ إلَى بَيتِهِ وَقالَ لَهُ: «لا تَدخُلْ إلَى البَلْدَةِ.» بُطرُسُ يَعتَرِفُ بِأنَّ يَسُوعَ هُوَ المَسِيح
And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the town, nor tell it to any in the town.
27 و َاتَّجَهَ يَسُوعُ وَتَلامِيذُهُ إلَى القُرَى الَّتي حَولَ قَيصَرِيَّةِ فِيلِبُّسَ، وَفِي الطَّرِيقِ سَألَهُمْ: «مَنْ يقُولُ النّاسُ إنِّي أنا؟»
And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of Caesarea Philippi: and by the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Whom do men say that I am?
28 ف َأجابُوهُ: «يَقُولُ بَعضُهُمْ إنَّكَ يُوحَنّا المَعمَدانُ، وَآخَرُونَ إَنَّكَ إيلِيّا، وَآخَرُونَ إَنَّكَ نَبِيٌ كَباقي الأنبِياءِ.»
And they answered, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias; and others, One of the prophets.
29 ف َسَألَهُمْ: «وَأنتُمْ، مَنْ أنا فِي رَأيِكُمْ؟» فَأجابَهُ بُطرُسُ: «أنتَ هُوَ المَسِيحُ.»
And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ.
30 أ مّا يَسُوعُ فَقَدْ حَذَّرَهُمْ مِنْ أنْ يُخبِرُوا أحَداً عَنْ هَويَّتِهِ. يَسُوعُ يُنبئُ باقتِرابِ مَوتِه
And he charged them that they should tell no man of him.
31 و َابتَدَأ يَسُوعُ يُعَلِّمُهُمْ أنَّ ابْنَ الإنسانِ يَنبَغِي أنْ يُعانِيَ أشياءَ كَثِيرَةً، وَأنْ يَرفُضَهُ الشُّيُوخُ وَكِبارُ الكَهَنَةِ وَمُعَلِّمُو الشَّريعَةِ. كَما يَنبَغِي أنْ يُقتَلَ وَيُقامَ بَعْدَ ثَلاثَةِ أيّامٍ.
And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.
32 أ خبَرَهُمْ هَذا بِكُلِّ صَراحَةٍ. أمّا بُطرُسُ فَقَدْ أخَذَ يَسُوعَ جانِباً وَابْتَدَأ يُوَبِّخُهُ!
And he spake that saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.
33 ف َالتَفَّتَ يَسُوعُ إلَى تَلامِيذِهِ وَقالَ مُوَبِّخاً بُطرُسَ: «ابتَعِدْ عَنِّي يا شَيطانُ! فَأنتَ لا تَهتَمُّ لِأُمُورِ اللهِ، بَلْ لِأُمُورِ البَشَرِ.»
But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men.
34 ث ُمَّ دَعا إلَيهِ الجَمْعَ مَعَ تَلامِيذِهِ، وَقالَ لَهُمْ: «إنْ أرادَ أحَدٌ أنْ يَأتِيَ مَعِي، فَلا بُدَّ أنْ يُنكِرَ نَفسَهُ، وَأنْ يَرفَعَ الصَّلِيبَ المُعطَى لَهُ وَيَتبَعَنِي.
And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
35 ف َمَنْ يُرِيدُ أنْ يُخَلِّصَ حَياتَهُ، سَيَخسَرُها. أمّا مَنْ يَخسَرُ حَياتَهُ مِنْ أجلِي وَمِنْ أجلِ البِشارَةِ، فَسَيُخَلِّصُها.
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.
36 ف َماذا يَنتَفِعُ الإنْسانُ لَو رَبِحَ العالَمَ كُلَّهُ، وَخَسِرَ نَفْسَهُ؟
For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
37 و َماذا يَستَطِيعُ الإنسانُ أنْ يُقَدِّمَ لِيَستَرِدَّ حَياتَهُ؟
Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
38 ل ِأنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ يَخجَلُ بِي وَبِكَلامِي فِي هَذا الجِيلِ الفاسِقِ الخاطِئِ، سَيَخجَلُ بِهِ ابنُ الإنسانِ حِينَ يَأتي فِي مَجدِ أبيْهِ مَعَ مَلائِكَتِهِ المُقَدَّسِينَ.»
Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
