1 و َعادَ يَسُوعُ مِنْ نَهرِ الأُردُنِّ مَملُوءاً مِنَ الرُّوحِ القُدُسِ، وَقادَهُ الرُّوحُ القُدُسُ إلَى البَرِّيَّةِ.

And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,

2 و َهُناكَ كانَ إبلِيْسُ يُغرِيْهِ بِالخَطِيَّةِ أربَعِيْنَ يَوماً، وَلَمْ يَأْكُلْ شَيئاً أثناءَ تِلكَ الفَترَةِ، لَكِنَّهُ جاعَ في نِهايَتِها.

Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered.

3 ف َقالَ لَهُ إبلِيْسُ: «إنْ كُنتَ ابنَ اللهِ، فَمُرْ هَذا الحَجَرَ بِأنْ يُصبِحَ خُبزاً.»

And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread.

4 ف َأجابَهُ يَسُوعُ: «يَقُولُ الكِتابُ: ‹لا يَعِيْشُ الإنسانُ عَلَى الخُبزِ وَحدَهُ.›»

And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.

5 ث ُمَّ قادَهُ إبلِيْسُ إلَى مَكانٍ عالٍ، وَعَرَضَ أمامَ عَينَيْهِ كُلَّ مَمالِكِ العالَمِ فِي لَحظَةٍ مِنَ الزَّمَنِ.

And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

6 و َقالَ لَهُ: «أُعطِيكَ السُّلطانَ عَلَى هَذِهِ المَمالِكِ كُلِّها وَما فِيْها مِنْ مَجدٍ. فَقَدْ أُعطِيَتْ لِي، وَفِي مَقدُورِي أنْ أُعطِيَها لِمَنْ أشاءُ.

And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.

7 ف َإنْ سَجَدْتَ لِي، سَتَكُونُ لَكَ كُلُّها.»

If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.

8 أ جابَ يَسُوعُ وَقالَ لَهُ: «مَكتُوبٌ: ‹يَنبَغِي أنْ تَعبُدَ الرَّبَّ إلَهَكَ، وَأنْ تَسْجُدَ لَهُ وَحدَهُ.›»

And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

9 ث ُمَّ أخَذَهُ إبلِيسُ إلَى مَدينَةِ القُدْسِ. وَأوقَفَهُ عَلَى قِمَّةِ الهَيكَلِ. وَقالَ لَهُ: «إنْ كُنتَ حَقّاً ابْنَ اللهِ، فَارْمِ بِنَفسِكَ مِنْ هُنا إلَى أسفَلَ،

And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence:

10 ل ِأنَّهُ مَكتُوبٌ: ‹يُوصِي اللهُ مَلائِكَتَهُ بِكَ لِكَيْ يَحرُسُوكَ.›

For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee:

11 و َإنَّهُمْ: ‹سَيَحْمِلونَكَ عَلَى أيادِيْهِمْ، لِئَلّا تَرتَطِمَ قَدَمُكَ بِحَجَرٍ.›»

And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.

12 ف َأجابَ يَسُوعُ وَقالَ لَهُ: «مَكْتوبٌ أيضاً: ‹لا تَمتَحِنِ الرَّبَّ إلَهَكَ.›»

And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

13 و َلَمّا اسْتَنْفَدَ إبلِيْسُ كُلَّ مُحاوَلَةٍ لإغراءِ يَسوعِ، تَرَكَهَ إلَى أنْ تَحِيْنَ فُرْصَةٌ ثانِيَةٌ. يَسُوعُ يُعَلِّمُ النّاس

And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season.

14 و َعادَ يَسُوعُ إلَى إقليمِ الجَلِيلِ بِقُوَّةِ الرُّوحِ القُدُسِ. وَانتَشَرَتْ أخبارُهُ عَبْرَ مَناطِقِ ألأريافِ كُلِّها.

And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about.

15 ف َعَلَّمَ فِي مِجامِعِهِمْ، وَكانَ الجَمِيعُ يَمدَحُونَهُ. يَسُوعُ فِي مَدينَتِه

And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.

16 ث ُمَّ ذَهَبَ يَسُوعُ إلَى النّاصِرَةِ حَيثُ نَشَأ. وَفِي يَومِ السَّبْتِ ذَهَبَ إلَى المَجمَعِ كَعادَتِهِ، وَوَقَفَ لِيَقْرَأ.

And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.

17 ف َأعطُوهُ كِتابَ النَّبِيِّ إشَعْياء. فَبَسَطَ المَخطُوطَةَ وَوَجَدَ المَكانَ الَّذِي كُتِبَ فِيهِ:

And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,

18 « رُوحُ الرَّبِّ عَلَيَّ، لِأنَّهُ مَسَحَنِي لِكَي أُعلِنَ البِشارَةَ لِلفُقَراءِ. أرسَلَنِي لِأُنادِيَ لِلأسرَى بِالحُرِّيَّةِ، وَبِالبَصَرِ لِلعِميانِ، وَلِأُحَرِّرَ المَسحُوقِيْنَ مِنَ الأسْرِ،

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

19 و َأُعلِنَ أنَّ وَقتَ الرَّبِّ لِلقُبُولِ قَدْ جاءَ.»

To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

20 ث ُمَّ طَوَى الكِتابَ وَأعادَهُ إلَى الخادِمِ وَجَلَسَ. وَكانَتْ عُيُونُ كُلِّ الَّذِيْنَ فِي المَجمَعِ مُثَبَّتَةً عَليهِ.

And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.

21 ف َبَدَأ يَقولُ لَهُمْ: «لَقَدْ تَحَقَّقَ اليَومُ هَذا الكَلامُ الَّذِي سَمِعْتُمُوهُ.»

And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.

22 و َكانَ الجَمِيعُ يَمدَحُونَهُ، مُندَهِشِيْنَ مِنَ الكَلِماتِ الجَمِيلَةِ الَّتِي تَخرُجُ مِنْ فَمِهِ، غَيْرَ أنَّهُمْ كانُوا يَقُولُونَ: «ألَيْسَ هَذا ابْنَ يُوسُفَ؟»

And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph's son?

23 ف َقالَ لَهُمْ: «بِالطَّبْعِ سَتَسْتَشْهِدُونَ بِالقَولِ المَأْثُورِ: ‹أيُّها الطَّبِيْبُ، اشْفِ نَفسَكَ أوَّلاً.› فَافْعَلْ هُنا فِي بَلدَتِكَ كُلَّ الأشياءِ الَّتِي سَمِعْنا أنَّكَ فَعَلْتَها فِي كَفْرِناحُومَ.»

And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country.

24 ف َقالَ لَهُمْ: «أقُولُ الحَقَّ لَكُمْ: لا يُقبَلُ نَبِيٌّ فِي وَطَنِهِ.

And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country.

25 « أقُولُ الحَقَّ لَكُمْ: إنَّهُ كانَتْ هُناكَ أرامِلُ كَثِيراتٌ فِي إسرائِيلَ فِي زَمَنِ إيلِيّا. فِي ذَلِكَ الوَقتِ، انحَبَسَتِ الأمطارُ ثَلاثَ سَنَواتٍ وَسِتَّةَ أشهُرٍ، وَأصابَتِ المِنطَقَةَ كُلَّها مَجاعَةٌ عَظِيْمَةٌ.

But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land;

26 و َلَمْ يُرسَلْ إيلِيّا إلَى أيٍّ مِنْ هَؤُلاءِ الأرامِلِ، بَلْ أرسَلَهُ اللهُ إلَى أرمَلَةٍ فِي بَلدَةِ صِرْفَةَ فِي مِنْطَقَةِ صَيْداءَ.

But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow.

27 « كَما كانَ هُناكَ بُرْصٌ كَثِيْرُونَ فِي إسْرائِيلَ فِي زَمَنِ النَّبِيِّ ألِيْشَعَ. وَلَمْ يُطَهَّرْ أحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ إلّا نُعمانُ السِّرْيانِيُّ.»

And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian.

28 ف َامْتَلأ كُلُّ الَّذِيْنَ فِي المَجمَعِ غَضَباً عِندَما سَمِعُوا هَذا،

And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath,

29 ف َقامُوا وَألقَوْا بِهِ خارِجَ المَدِيْنَةِ. وَأخَذُوهُ إلَى حافَّةِ التَّلَّةِ الَّتِي كانَتْ بَلدَتُهُمْ مَبنِيَّةً عَلَيْها، لِكَيْ يَطرَحُوهُ مِنْ فَوقِ الهاوِيَةِ إلَى أسْفَلَ.

And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong.

30 ل َكِنَّهُ عَبَرَ مِنْ وَسَطِهِمْ، وَمَضَى فِي طَرِيْقِهِ. يَسُوعُ يَشفِي رَجُلاً فِيْهِ رُوحٌ نَجِسٌ

But he passing through the midst of them went his way,

31 ث ُمَّ ذَهَبَ إلَى كَفْرِناحُومَ فِي إقليمِ الجَلِيلِ، وَكانَ يُعَلِّمُهُمْ يَومَ السَّبْتِ.

And came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbath days.

32 ف َذُهِلُوا مِنْ تَعلِيْمِهِ، لِأنَّهُ كانَ يَتَكَلَّمُ بِسُلطانٍ.

And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word was with power.

33 « وَكانَ فِي المَجمَعِ رَجُلٌ يَسْكُنُهُ رُوحٌ شِرِّيرٌ نَجِسٌ، فَصَرَخَ الرُّوحُ بِصَوتٍ عالٍ:

And in the synagogue there was a man, which had a spirit of an unclean devil, and cried out with a loud voice,

34 « مَهلاً، ماذا تُرِيْدُ مِنّا يا يَسُوعُ النّاصِرِيُّ؟ هَلْ جِئْتَ لِكَيْ تُهلِكَنا؟ أنا أعرِفُ مَنْ تَكُونُ، أنتَ قُدُّوسُ اللهِ.»

Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God.

35 ف َوَبَّخَهُ يَسُوعُ وَقالَ لَهُ: «اخرَسْ وَاخرُجْ مِنْهُ!» فَطَرَحَ الرُّوحُ الشِّرِّيْرُ الرَّجُلَ أرْضاً أمامَ النّاسِ، وَخَرَجَ مِنْهُ دُونَ أنْ يُؤذِيَهُ.

And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the devil had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt him not.

36 ف َاندَهَشَ الجَمِيعُ وَبَدَأُوا يَقُولُونَ بَعضُهُمْ لِبَعضٍ: «أيُّ تَعلِيْمٍ هَذا؟ فَهُوَ يَأْمُرُ الأرواحَ النَّجِسَةَ بِسُلطانٍ وَقُوَّةٍ فَتَخرُجَ!»

And they were all amazed, and spake among themselves, saying, What a word is this! for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out.

37 و َانتَشَرَتْ أخبارُهُ فِي كُلِّ مَكانٍ فِي تِلكَ المِنطَقَةِ. يَسُوعُ يَشفِي حَماةَ بُطرُس

And the fame of him went out into every place of the country round about.

38 ث ُمَّ تَرَكَ يَسُوعُ المَجمَعَ وَذَهَبَ إلَى بَيتِ سِمعانَ. وَكانَتْ حَماةُ سِمعانَ تُعانِي مِنْ حُمَّى شَدِيْدَةٍ. فَطَلَبُوا مِنْ يَسُوعَ أنْ يُعِينَها.

And he arose out of the synagogue, and entered into Simon's house. And Simon's wife's mother was taken with a great fever; and they besought him for her.

39 ف َوَقَفَ يَسُوعُ قُربَها، وَانتَهَرَ الحُمَّى، فَتَرَكَتْها. فَقامَتْ فِي الحالِ وَبَدَأتْ تَخدِمُهُمْ. يَسُوعُ يَشفِي كَثِيْرِيْن

And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she arose and ministered unto them.

40 و َبَيْنَما كانَتِ الشَّمسُ تَغرُبُ، جاءَ جَمِيعُ الَّذِيْنَ عِنْدَهُمْ مَرضَى يُعانُونَ مِنْ أمراضٍ مُختَلِفَةٍ، وَأحضَرُوا مَرضاهُمْ إلَيْهِ، فَشَفاهُمْ واضِعاً يَدَيْهِ عَلَى كُلِّ واحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ.

Now when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them.

41 و َخَرَجَتْ أيضاً أرواحٌ شِرِّيْرَةٌ مِنْ كِثِيْرِيْنَ مِنهُمْ، وَهْيَ تَصرُخُ وَتَقُولُ: «أنتَ ابنُ اللهِ.» لَكِنَّهُ انتَهَرَها، وَلَمْ يَسمَحْ لَها بِأنْ تَتَكَلَّمَ، لِأنَّها كانَتْ تَعلَمُ أنَّهُ هُوَ المَسِيحُ. يَسُوعُ يَذْهَبُ إلَى مُدُنٍ أُخْرَى

And devils also came out of many, crying out, and saying, Thou art Christ the Son of God. And he rebuking them suffered them not to speak: for they knew that he was Christ.

42 و َلَمّا طَلَعَ النَّهارُ، تَرَكَ ذَلِكَ المَكانَ وَمَضَى إلَى مَكانٍ مُنعَزِلٍ. لَكِنَّ جُمُوعَ النّاسِ كانُوا يُفَتِّشُونَ عَنْهُ، وَجاءُوا إلَيهِ وَحاوَلُوا أنْ يَمنَعُوهُ مِنَ الابتِعادِ عَنهُمْ.

And when it was day, he departed and went into a desert place: and the people sought him, and came unto him, and stayed him, that he should not depart from them.

43 ل َكِنَّهُ قالَ لَهُمْ: «يَنبَغِي أنْ أُبَشِّرَ بِمَلَكُوتِ اللهِ في المُدُنِ الأُخرَى أيضاً، لِأنِّي أُرسِلْتُ لِهَذا الغَرَضِ.»

And he said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for therefore am I sent.

44 ف َتابَعَ تَبشِيْرَهُ فِي مَجامِعِ إقليمِ اليَهُودِيَّةِ.

And he preached in the synagogues of Galilee.
