1 ك انَ يَسُوعُ واقِفاً عِندَ بُحَيْرَةِ جَنِيْسارَتَ، وَالنّاسُ يَتَجَمهَرُونَ حَولَهُ وَيَستَمِعُونَ إلَى كَلِمَةِ اللهِ.

So it was, as the multitude pressed about Him to hear the word of God, that He stood by the Lake of Gennesaret,

2 ف َرَأى قارِبَيْنِ عِندَ البَحرِ. وَكانَ الصَّيّادُونَ قَدْ خَرَجُوا مِنهُما وَراحُوا يَغسِلُونَ شِباكَهُمْ.

and saw two boats standing by the lake; but the fishermen had gone from them and were washing their nets.

3 ف َدَخَلَ يَسُوعُ أحَدَ القارِبَيْنِ، وهُوَ لِرَجُلٍ اسْمُهُ سِمعانُ. فَطَلَبَ إليهِ أنْ يُبعِدَ القارِبَ قَلِيلاً عَنِ البَرِّ، ثُمَّ جَلَسَ وَعَلَّمَ الجُمهُورَ مِنَ القارِبِ.

Then He got into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, and asked him to put out a little from the land. And He sat down and taught the multitudes from the boat.

4 و َلَمّا أنهَى كَلامَهُ، قالَ لِسِمْعانَ: «أبحِرْ إلَى المِياهِ العَمِيْقَةِ، وَارْمِ شِباكَكَ لِلصَّيْدِ.»

When He had stopped speaking, He said to Simon, “Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.”

5 ف َأجابَ سِمْعانُ: «يا مُعَلِّمُ، لَقَدْ أنهَكَنا العَمَلُ طَوالَ اللَّيلِ وَلَمْ نُمسِكْ شَيْئاً، لَكِنِّي سَأرمِي الشِّباكَ لِأنَّكَ تَقولُ ذَلِكَ.»

But Simon answered and said to Him, “Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless at Your word I will let down the net.”

6 و َلَمّا فَعَلَ، أمسَكُوا بِعَدَدٍ كَبِيْرٍ مِنَ الأسماكِ حَتَّى إنَّ شِباكَهُمْ بَدَأتْ تَتَمَزَّقُ.

And when they had done this, they caught a great number of fish, and their net was breaking.

7 ف َأشارُوا إلَى شُرَكائِهِمْ فِي القارِبِ الآخَرِ لِكَيْ يَأْتُوا وَيُساعِدُوهُمْ. فَجاءُوا وَمَلأُوا القارِبَيْنِ حَتَّى أوشَكا عَلَى الغَرَقِ.

So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink.

8 ف َلَمّا رَأى سِمعانُ بُطرُسُ هَذا، ارتَمَى عِندَ رُكبَتَي يَسُوعَ وَقالَ: «ابْتَعِدْ عَنِّي يا رّبُّ، فَأنا رَجُلٌ خاطِئٌ!»

When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord!”

9 ف َقَدْ ذُهِلَ وَكُلُّ الَّذِيْنَ مَعَهُ مِنْ كَثْرةِ السَّمَكِ الَّذِي حَصَلُوا عَلَيْهِ.

For he and all who were with him were astonished at the catch of fish which they had taken;

10 و َذُهِلَ أيضاً يَعقُوبُ وَيُوحَنّا ابنا زَبَدِي شَرِيْكا سِمْعانَ. ثُمَّ قالَ يَسُوعُ لِسِمعانَ: «لا تَخَفْ. أنتَ مِنَ الآنِ فَصاعِداً صَيّادٌ لِلنّاسِ!»

and so also were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid. From now on you will catch men.”

11 ف َجاءُوا بِالقارِبَيْنِ إلَى البَرِّ، وَتَرَكُوا كُلَّ شَيءٍ وَتَبِعُوهُ. يَسُوعُ يَشفِي أبرص

So when they had brought their boats to land, they forsook all and followed Him. Jesus Cleanses a Leper

12 و َبَيْنَما كانَ يَسُوعُ فِي إحدَى المُدُنِ، كانَ هُناكَ رَجُلٌ يُغَطِّي جِسمَهُ البَرَصُ. فَعِندَما رَأى يَسُوعَ، ارتَمَى عَلَى وَجهِهِ وَتَوَسَّلَ إلَيْهِ قائلاً: «يا سَيِّدُ، أنتَ قادِرٌ أنْ تَجعَلَنِي طاهِراً، إنْ أرَدْتَ.»

And it happened when He was in a certain city, that behold, a man who was full of leprosy saw Jesus; and he fell on his face and implored Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”

13 ف َمَدَّ يَسُوعُ يَدَهُ وَلَمَسَهُ وَقالَ: «نَعَمْ أُرِيْدُ، فَاطْهُرْ.» فَفِي الحالِ زالَ البَرَصُ عَنْهُ.

Then He put out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” Immediately the leprosy left him.

14 ث ُمَّ أمَرَهُ يَسُوعُ ألّا يُخبِرَ أحَداً، بَلْ قالَ لَهُ:اذْهَبْ وَأرِ نَفسَكَ لِلكاهِنِ، وَقَدِّمْ تَقدِمَةً عَنْ تَطَهُّرِكَ كَما أمَرَ مُوسَى، فَيَعلَمَ النّاسُ أنَّكَ شُفِيْتَ.»

And He charged him to tell no one, “But go and show yourself to the priest, and make an offering for your cleansing, as a testimony to them, just as Moses commanded.”

15 ل َكِنَّ أخبارَ يَسُوعَ كانَتْ تَزدادُ انتِشاراً. وَكانَتْ جَماهِيْرُ كَثِيْرَةٌ مِنَ النّاسِ تَأْتِي مَعاً لِتَسْمَعَهُ وَتُشْفَى مِنْ أمراضِها.

However, the report went around concerning Him all the more; and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by Him of their infirmities.

16 أ مّا هُوَ فَكَثِيْراً ما كانَ يَذْهَبُ بَعِيداً عَنِ النّاسِ حَيْثُ يَخلُوَ إلَى نَفسِهِ وَيُصَلِّي. يَسُوعُ يَشفِي مَشلُولاً

So He Himself often withdrew into the wilderness and prayed. Jesus Forgives and Heals a Paralytic

17 و َكانَ يَسُوعُ يُعَلِّمُ ذاتَ يَومٍ، وَبَينَ الجالِسينَ فِرِّيْسِيُّونَ وَمُعَلِّمُونَ لِلشَّرِيْعَةِ جاءُوا مِنْ كُلِّ بَلدَةٍ فِي الجَلِيلِ وَاليَهُودِيَّةِ وَمِنَ مَدينَةِ القُدْسِ. وَكانَتْ قُوَّةُ الرَّبِّ للِشِّفاءِ بَيْنَ يَدَيِّ يَسُوعَ.

Now it happened on a certain day, as He was teaching, that there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting by, who had come out of every town of Galilee, Judea, and Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was present to heal them.

18 ف َجاءَ بَعضُ الرِّجالِ يَحمِلُونَ رَجُلاً مَشلُولاً عَلَى فِراشٍ، وَحاوَلُوا أنْ يُدخِلُوهُ وَيَضَعُوهُ أمامَ يَسُوعَ.

Then behold, men brought on a bed a man who was paralyzed, whom they sought to bring in and lay before Him.

19 ل َكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَجِدُوا طَرِيْقَةً لإدخالِهِ بِسَبَبِ الازدِحامِ، فَصَعِدُوا إلَى سَطحِ البَيتِ، وَأنزَلُوهُ عَلَى فِراشِهِ مِنْ فُتْحَةٍ فِي السَّقفِ إلَى وَسَطِ النّاسِ وَأمامَ يَسُوعَ.

And when they could not find how they might bring him in, because of the crowd, they went up on the housetop and let him down with his bed through the tiling into the midst before Jesus.

20 ف َلَمّا رَأى يَسُوعُ إيمانَهُمْ قالَ: «يا رَجُلُ، خَطاياكَ مَغفُورَةٌ!»

When He saw their faith, He said to him, “Man, your sins are forgiven you.”

21 ف َبَدَأ مُعَلِّمُو الشَّرِيْعَةِ وَالفِرِّيْسِيُّونَ يُفَكِّرُونَ وَيَقُولُونَ: «مَنْ هُوَ هَذا الَّذِي يُهِيْنُ اللهَ بِكَلامِهِ؟ فَمَنْ غَيْرُ اللهِ وَحدِهِ يَستَطِيْعُ أنْ يَغفِرَ الخَطايا؟»

And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, “Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”

22 ف َعَرَفَ يَسُوعُ أفكارَهُمْ، وَأجابَهُمْ فَقالَ: «لِماذا تُفَكِّرُونَ هَكَذا فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ؟

But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, He answered and said to them, “Why are you reasoning in your hearts?

23 أ يُّ الأمرَيْنِ أسهَلُ: أنْ يُقالَ: ‹خَطاياكَ مَغفُورَةٌ› أمْ أنْ يُقالَ: ‹انهَضْ وَامشِ؟›

Which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Rise up and walk’?

24 ل َكِنِّي سَأُرِيكُمْ أنَّ ابنَ الإنسانِ يَملِكُ سُلطاناً عَلَى الأرْضِ لِمَغفِرَةِ الخَطايا.» وَقالَ لِلرَّجُلِ المَشلُولِ: «أنا أقُولُ لَكَ، انهَضْ وَاحْمِلْ فِراشَكَ وَاذْهَبْ إلَى بَيتِكَ!»

But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins” —He said to the man who was paralyzed, “I say to you, arise, take up your bed, and go to your house.”

25 ف َوَقَفَ الرَّجُلُ فَوراً، وَحَمَلَ فِراشَهُ، وَذَهَبَ إلَى بَيتِهِ وَهُوَ يُمَجِّدُ اللهَ.

Immediately he rose up before them, took up what he had been lying on, and departed to his own house, glorifying God.

26 ف َذُهِلَ الجَمِيعُ، وَأخَذوا يُمَجِّدُونَ اللهَ. وَامتَلأُوا رَهبَةً وَقالوا: «لَقَدْ رَأيْنا اليَومَ أُمُوراً مُذهِلَةً!» لاوِي (مَتَّى) يَتبَعُ يَسُوع

And they were all amazed, and they glorified God and were filled with fear, saying, “We have seen strange things today!” Matthew the Tax Collector

27 و َبَعدَ هَذا خَرَجَ يَسُوعُ وَرَأى جامِعَ ضَرائِبَ اسْمُهُ لاوِي جالِساً عِندَ مَكانِ جَمعِ الضَّرائِبِ. فَقالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «اتبَعنِي!»

After these things He went out and saw a tax collector named Levi, sitting at the tax office. And He said to him, “Follow Me.”

28 ف َقامَ وَتَرَكَ كُلَّ شَيءٍ وَتَبِعَهُ.

So he left all, rose up, and followed Him.

29 و َأقامَ لاوِي مَأْدُبَةً فِي بَيتِهِ لِيَسُوعَ. وَكانَ جَمعٌ كَبِيْرٌ مِنْ جامِعِي الضَّرائِبِ وَغَيرِهِمْ يَأْكُلُونَ مَعَهُمْ.

Then Levi gave Him a great feast in his own house. And there were a great number of tax collectors and others who sat down with them.

30 ف َتَذَمَّرَ الفِرِّيْسِيُّونَ وَمُعَلِّمُو الشَّرِيعَةِ وَقالوا لِتَلامِيذِهِ: «لِماذا تَأْكُلُونَ وَتَشرَبُونَ مَعَ جامِعي الضَّرائِبِ وَالخُطاةِ؟»

And their scribes and the Pharisees complained against His disciples, saying, “Why do You eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”

31 ف َأجابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «لا يَحتاجُ الأصِحّاءُ إلَى طَبِيبٍ، بَلِ المَرضَى.

Jesus answered and said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick.

32 أ نا لَمْ آتِ لِكَي أدعُوَ الصّالِحِينَ، لَكِنِّي جِئتُ لِأدعُوَ الخُطاةَ إلَى التَّوبَةِ.» سُؤالٌ حَولَ الصَّوم

I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.” Jesus Is Questioned About Fasting

33 و َقالُوا لَهُ: «إنَّ تَلامِيذَ يُوحَنّا يَصُومُونَ كَثِيراً وَيُصَلُّونَ، وَكَذَلِكَ يَفعَلُ تَلامِيذُ الفِرِّيْسِيِّينَ، أمّا تَلامِيذُكَ فَيَأكُلُونَ وَيَشرَبُونَ دائِماً!»

Then they said to Him, “Why do the disciples of John fast often and make prayers, and likewise those of the Pharisees, but Yours eat and drink?”

34 ف َقالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «أيُمكِنُكُمْ أنْ تُجبِرُوا ضُيُوفَ العَرِيسِ عَلَى الصَّومِ وَالعَرِيسُ مَعَهُمْ؟

And He said to them, “Can you make the friends of the bridegroom fast while the bridegroom is with them?

35 ل َكِنْ سَيَأتِي يَومٌ يُؤخَذُ فِيهِ العِرِيسُ مِنهُمْ، فَحينَئِذٍ سَيَصُومُونَ.»

But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them; then they will fast in those days.”

36 و َرَوَى لَهُمْ أيضاً مَثَلاً فَقالَ: «ما مِنْ أحَدٍ يَنتَزِعُ رُقعَةً مِنْ ثَوبٍ جَدِيدٍ لِيَرقَعَ بِها ثَوباً قَدِيماً، لِأنَّهُ سَيُتلِفُ الثَّوبَ الجَدِيدَ، وَلَنْ تُلائِمَ الرُّقعَةُ الثَّوبَ القَدِيمَ.

Then He spoke a parable to them: “No one puts a piece from a new garment on an old one; otherwise the new makes a tear, and also the piece that was taken out of the new does not match the old.

37 و َما مِنْ أحَدٍ يَضَعُ نَبيذاً جَدِيداً فِي أوعِيَةٍ جِلدِيَّةٍ قَدِيمَةٍ، لِأنَّ النَّبيذَ الجَدِيدَ سَيُمَزِّقُ الأوعِيَةَ الجِلدِيَّةَ، فَيُراقَ النَّبيذُ وَتَتلَفَ الأوعِيَةُ.

And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine will burst the wineskins and be spilled, and the wineskins will be ruined.

38 ل َكِنْ يَنبَغِي أنْ يُوضَعَ النَّبيذُ الجَدِيدُ فِي أوعِيَةٍ جِلدِيَّةٍ جَدِيدَةٍ.

But new wine must be put into new wineskins, and both are preserved.

39 و َما مِنْ أحَدٍ يَشرَبُ النَّبيذَ القَدِيمَ ثُمَّ يَرغَبُ فِي الجَدِيْدِ. لِأنَّهُ يَقُولُ: «القَدِيمُ أفضَلُ.»

And no one, having drunk old wine, immediately desires new; for he says, ‘The old is better.’”
