1 و َعِندَما أنهَى يَسُوعُ ما أرادَ أنْ يَقُولَهُ لِلنّاسِ، ذَهَبَ إلَى كَفرِناحُومَ.

When Jesus had finished teaching the people, He went back to Capernaum.

2 و َكانَ هُناكَ ضابِطٌ رُومانِيٌّ لَهُ خادِمٌ مَرِيضٌ مُوشِكٌ عَلَى المَوتِ. وَكانَ هَذا الخادِمُ عَزيزاً عِندَهُ.

A captain of the army had a servant whom he thought much of. This servant was very sick and was about to die.

3 ف َلَمّا سَمِعَ الضّابِطُ عَنْ يَسُوعَ، أرسَلَ إلَيهِ بَعضَ شُيُوخِ اليَهُودِ، طالِباً إلَيهِ أنْ يَأْتِيَ وَيُنقِذَ حَياةَ خادِمِهِ.

When the captain heard of Jesus, he sent some Jewish leaders to Him. They were to ask if He would come and heal this servant.

4 ف َلَمّا جاءُوا إلَى يَسُوعَ تَوَسَّلُوا إلَيهِ بِإلحاحٍ وَقالوا: «إنَّهُ يَستَحِقُّ أنْ تَفعَلَ لَهُ هَذا.

They came to Jesus and begged Him, saying, “The man is respected and should have this done for him.

5 ف َهُوَ يُحِبُّ شَعبَنا، وَهُوَ الَّذِي بَنَى لَنا مَجمَعَنا.»

He loves our nation and has built our Jewish place of worship.”

6 ف َذَهَبَ يَسُوعُ مَعَهُمْ. وَلَمّا صارَ يَسُوعُ قَرِيباً مِنَ البَيتِ، أرسَلَ إلَيهِ الضّابِطُ الرُّومانِيُّ بَعْضَ الأصْدِقاءِ يَقُولُ لَهُ: «يا سَيِّدُ، لا تُحَمِّلْ نَفسَكَ عَناءَ المَجِيءِ، فَأنا لا أستَحِقُّ أنْ تَدخُلَ بَيتِي.

Jesus went with them. When He was not far from the house, the captain told some friends to tell this to Jesus, “Lord, do not take the time to come to my house, because I am not good enough.

7 ل ِهَذا لَمْ أتَجَرَّأْ عَلَى المَجِيءِ إلَيكَ. وَما عَلَيكَ إلّا أنْ تَقُولَ كَلِمَةً فَيُشفَى خادِمِي.

And I am not good enough to come to You. But just say the word and my servant will be healed.

8 ف َأنا نَفسِي رَجُلٌ تَحتَ سُلطَةٍ، وَلِي جُنُودٌ يَأْتَمِرُونَ بِأمرِي. أقُولُ لِهَذا الجُندِيِّ: ‹اذْهَبْ!› فَيَذهَبُ. وَأقُولُ لِآخَرَ: ‹تَعالَ!› فَيَأتِي. وَأقُولُ لِخادِمِي: ‹افعَلْ كَذا!› فَيَفعَلُهُ.»

For I am a man who works for someone else also, and I have soldiers who work for me. I say to this man, ‘Go!’ and he goes. I say to another, ‘Come!’ and he comes. I say to my workman, ‘Do this!’ and he does it.”

9 ف َلَمّا سَمِعَ يَسُوعُ هَذا اندَهَشَ. ثُمَّ التَفَتَ إلَى النّاسِ الَّذِينَ كانُوا يَتبَعُونَهُ وَقالَ: «أقُولُ لَكُمْ إنِّي لَمْ أجِدْ مِثلَ هَذا الإيمانِ حَتَّى بَينَ بَنِي إسرائِيلَ.»

Jesus was surprised when He heard this. He turned to the people following Him and said, “I tell you, I have not found so much faith even in the Jewish nation.”

10 ف َلَمّا عادَ الَّذِيْنَ أرسَلَهُمُ الضّابِطُ إلَى البَيتِ، وَجَدُوا الخادِمَ قَدْ تَعافَى. إحياءُ ابنِ الأرمَلَة

Those who had been sent went back to the captain’s house and found the servant well again. The Son of a Woman Whose Husband Had Died Was Raised from the Dead

11 ب َعدَ ذَلِكَ، ذَهَبَ يَسُوعُ إلَى بَلدَةٍ تُدعَى نايِيْنَ يُرافِقُهُ تَلامِيذُهُ وَجَمعٌ كَبِيرٌ مِنَ النّاسِ.

The next day Jesus went to a city called Nain. His followers and many other people went with Him.

12 و َعِندَ اقتِرابِهِ مِنْ بَوّابَةِ البَلدَةِ، رَأىْ شاباً مَيِّتاً يُحمَلُ إلَى خارِجِ البَلدَةِ، وَقَدْ كانَ وَحِيدَ أُمِّهِ الأرمَلَةِ. وَكانَ هُناكَ جَمعٌ كَبِيْرٌ مِنَ رِجالِ المَدِينَةِ.

When they came near the city gate, a dead man was being carried out. He was the only son of a woman whose husband had died. Many people of the city were with her.

13 ف َلَمّا رَآها الرَّبُّ تَحَنَّنَ عَلَيها وَقالَ لَها: «لا تَبكِي.»

When the Lord saw her, He had loving-pity for her and said, “Do not cry.”

14 و َاقتَرَبَ وَلَمَسَ التّابُوتَ، فَتَوَقَّفَ حامِلُوهُ. ثُمَّ قالَ يَسُوعُ: «أيُّها الشّابُّ،أنا أقُولُ لَكَ، انهَضْ!»

He went and put His hand on the box in which the dead man was carried. The men who were carrying it, stopped. Jesus said, “Young man, I say to you, get up!”

15 ف َجَلَسَ المَيِّتُ مُعتَدِلاً، وَبَدَأ يَتَكَلَّمُ. فَرَدَّهُ يَسُوعُ إلَى أُمِّهِ.

The man who was dead sat up and began to talk. Then Jesus gave him to his mother.

16 ف َامتَلأ الجَمِيعُ رَهبَةً، وَمَجَّدُوا اللهَ، وَقالُوا: «لَقَدْ ظَهَرَ بَينَنا نَبِيٌّ عَظِيمٌ!» وَقالُوا: «لَقَدْ جاءَ اللهُ لَيُعِينَ شَعبَهُ!»

Everyone was afraid and they gave thanks to God. They said, “A great Man Who speaks for God has come among us! God has cared for His people!”

17 و َانتَشَرَتْ أخبارُ يَسُوعَ عَبرَ إقليمِ اليَهُودِيَّةِ وَكُلِّ المَناطِقِ الرِّيفِيَّةِ المُجاوِرَةِ. سُؤالُ يُوحَنّا المَعْمَدان

The news about Jesus went through all the country of Judea and over all the land. John the Baptist Asks about Jesus

18 ف َذَهَبَ تَلامِيذُ يُوحَنّا المَعْمَدانِ وَأخبَرُوهُ بِكُلِّ هَذِهِ الأشياءِ. فَدَعا يُوحَنّا اثْنَينِ مِنْ تَلامِيذِهِ،

The followers of John the Baptist told him about all these things.

19 و َأرسَلَهُما إلَى الرَّبِّ لِيَسألاهُ: «هَلْ أنتَ الَّذي نَنْتَظِرُهُ، أمْ يَنبَغي أنْ نَنتَظِرَ آخَرَ؟»

John called two of his followers and sent them to Jesus to ask, “Are You the One Who is to come? Or are we to look for another?”

20 ف َجاءَ الرَّجُلانِ إلَيهِ وَقالا: «لَقَدْ أرسَلَنا يُوحَنّا المَعْمَدانُ لِنَسألَكَ هَلْ أنتَ الَّذي نَنْتَظِرُهُ، أمْ يَنبَغي أنْ نَنتَظِرَ آخَرَ؟»

The men came to Jesus and said, “John the Baptist sent us to ask You, ‘Are You the One Who is to come? Or are we to look for another?’”

21 ف َشَفَى يَسُوعُ فِي ذَلِكَ الوَقتِ أشخاصاً كَثِيرِينَ مِنْ أمراضِهِمُ المُختَلِفَةِ، وَطَرَدَ أرواحاً شِرِّيرَةً، وَأعطَى بَصَراً للكَثيرينَ مِنَ العُمْيانِ.

At that time Jesus was healing many people of all kinds of sickness and disease and was putting out demons. Many that were blind were able to see.

22 ث ُمَّ أجابَ تِلمِيذَي يُوحَنّا فَقالَ: «اذهَبا وَأخبِرا يُوحَنّا بِما شاهَدْتُما وَسَمِعتُما: ها هُمُ العُميُ يُبصِرُونَ، وَالمُقعَدُونَ يَمشُونَ، وَالبُرْصُ يَطْهُرُونَ، وَالصُّمُّ يَسمَعُونَ، وَالمَوتَى يَحيَونَ، وَالمَساكِينُ يَسمَعُونَ البِشارَةَ.

Jesus said to John’s followers, “Go back to John the Baptist and tell him what you have seen and heard. Tell him the blind are made to see. Those who could not walk, are walking. Those with a bad skin disease are healed. Those who could not hear, are hearing. The dead are raised to life and poor people have the Good News preached to them.

23 و َهَنِيئاً لِمَنْ لا يَتَرَدَّدُ فِي الإيمانِ بِي.»

The person who is not ashamed of Me and does not turn away from Me is happy.” Jesus Tells about John the Baptist

24 و َبَعدَ أنِ انطَلَقَ رَسُولا يُوحَنّا، بَدَأ يَسُوعُ يَتَحَدَّثُ إلَى النّاسِ عَنْ يُوحَنّا فَقالَ: «ما الَّذِي خَرَجتُمْ إلَى البَرِّيَّةِ لِتَرَوهُ؟ قَصَبَةً تُؤَرجِحُها الرِّيحُ؟

As John’s followers were going away, Jesus began to tell the people about John the Baptist. He said, “Why did you go out to the desert? Did you go out to see a small tree moving in the wind?

25 إ ذاً ما الَّذِي خَرَجتُمْ لِتَرَوهُ؟ رَجُلاً يَلبَسُ ثِياباً ناعِمَةً؟ إنَّ الَّذِينَ يَلبَسُونَ الثِّيابَ النّاعِمَةَ وَيَعِيشُونَ عِيشَةَ التَّرَفِ هُمْ فِي قُصُورِ المُلُوكِ.

What did you go out to see? A man dressed in good clothes? Those who are dressed in good clothes are in the houses of kings.

26 إ ذاً ما الَّذِي خَرَجتُمْ لِتَرَوهُ؟ نَبِيّاً؟ هُوَ كَذَلِكَ. بَلْ إنِّي أقُولُ لَكُمْ إنَّكُمْ رَأيتُمْ مَنْ هُوَ أعظَمُ مِنْ نَبِيٍّ!

But what did you go to see? One who speaks for God? Yes, I tell you, he is more than one who speaks for God.

27 ف َهَذا هُوَ الَّذِي كُتِبَ عَنهُ: ‹ها أنا أُرسِلُ رَسُولِي قُدّامَكَ. لِيُعِدَّ الطَّرِيقَ أمامَكَ.›

This is the man the Holy Writings spoke of when they said, ‘See! I will send My helper to carry news ahead of You. He will make Your way ready for You!’

28 ل َيسَ بَينَ الَّذِينَ وَلَدَتهُمُ النِّساءُ مَنْ هُوَ أعظَمُ مِنْ يُوحَنّا، غَيرَ أنَّ أقَلَّ شَخصٍ فِي مَلَكُوتِ اللهِ أعظَمُ مِنهُ.»

“I tell you, of those born of women, there is no one greater than John the Baptist. The least in the holy nation of God is greater than he.”

29 ف َكُلُّ الَّذِينَ سَمِعُوا هَذا، حَتَّى جامِعُو الضَّرائِبِ، أقَرُّوا بِصِدقِ رِسالَةِ اللهِ، وَتَعَمَّدوا بِمَعمُودِيَّةِ يُوحَنّا.

All the people who heard Jesus and those who gathered taxes showed they knew God was right and were baptized by John.

30 أ مّا الفِرِّيْسِيِّونَ وَمُعَلِّمو الشَّرِيعَةِ فَقَدْ رَفَضُوا الخُضُوعَ لِخُطَّةِ اللهِ، وَلَمْ يَتَعَمَّدوا عَلَى يَدَي يُوحَنّا.

But the proud religious law-keepers and the men who knew the Law would not listen. They would not be baptized by John and they did not receive what God had for them. Jesus Speaks Against the People of This Day

31 و َقالَ يَسُوعُ: «بِماذا أُشَبِّهُ النّاسَ فِي هَذا الجِيلِ؟ وَكَيفَ أصِفُهُمْ؟

Then the Lord said, “What are the people of this day like?

32 إ نَّهُمْ كَأطفالٍ يَجلِسُونَ فِي السُّوقِ. فَتُنادِي جَماعَةٌ مِنهُمْ أُخْرَى فَتَقُولُ: ‹زَمَّرْنا لَكُمْ، فَلَمْ تَرقُصُوا. وَغَنَّيْنا لَكُمْ أغانِيَ الجَنازاتِ، فَلَمْ تَبكُوا!›

They are like children playing in front of stores. They call to their friends, ‘We have played music for you, but you did not dance. We have had sorrow for you, but you did not have sorrow.’

33 ف َقَدْ جاءَ يُوحَنّا المَعْمَدانُ لا يَأْكُلُ كَالآخَرِينَ وَلا يَشرَبُ نَبِيذاً كَالآخَرِيْنَ. فَقُلتُمْ: ‹فِيهِ رُوحٌ شِرِّيرٌ.›

John the Baptist did not come eating bread or drinking wine and you say, ‘He has a demon.’

34 ث ُمَّ جاءَ ابنُ الإنسانِ يَأكُلُ كَالآخَرِينَ وَيَشرَبُ النَّبِيذَ. فَقُلتُمْ: ‹إنَّهُ شَرِهٌ وَسِكِّيرٌ، وَصَدِيقٌ لِجامِعِي الضَّرائِبِ وَالخُطاةِ!›

The Son of Man came eating and drinking and you say, ‘See! He likes food and wine. He is a friend of men who gather taxes and of sinners!’

35 ل َكِنَّ ثِمارَ الحِكْمَةِ هِيَ الَّتِي تُثبِتُ أنَّها حِكْمَةٌ صَحِيحَةٌ.» أحَبَّتْ يَسُوعَ كَثيراً

Wisdom is shown to be right by those who are wise.” A Woman Puts Special Perfume on the Feet of Jesus

36 و َدَعا أحَدُ الفِرِّيسِيِّينَ يَسُوعَ لِيَأكُلَ مَعَهُ، فَذَهَبَ إلَى بَيتِهِ، وَجَلَسَ إلَى المائِدَةِ.

One of the proud religious law-keepers wanted Jesus to eat with him. Jesus went to his house and sat down to eat.

37 و َكانَتْ هُناكَ امْرأةٌ خاطِئَةٌ فِي المَدِينَةِ. فَلَمّا عَلِمَتْ أنَّ يَسُوعَ يَتَناوَلُ الطَّعامَ فِي بَيتِ الفِرِّيْسِيِّ، أحضَرَتْ قارُورَةً مِنَ المَرمَرِ مَلِيئَةً بِالعِطرِ،

There was a woman in the city who was a sinner. She knew Jesus was eating in the house of the proud religious law-keeper. She brought a jar of special perfume.

38 و َوَقَفَتْ خَلفَ يَسُوعَ عِندَ قَدَمَيهِ، وَهِيَ تَنُوحُ وَتُبَلِّلُ قَدَمَيهِ بِدُمُوعِها. ثُمَّ مَسَحَتْهُما بِشَعرِها. وَقَبَّلَتْ قَدَمَيهِ وَسَكَبَتِ العِطرَ عَلَيهِما.

Then she stood behind Him by His feet and cried. Her tears wet His feet and she dried them with her hair. She kissed His feet and put the special perfume on them.

39 ف َرَأى الفِرِّيسِيُّ الَّذِي دَعاهُ ما حَدَثَ وَقالَ فِي نَفسِهِ: «لَو كانَ هَذا الرَّجُلُ نَبِيّاً، لَعَرَفَ مَنْ هِيَ هَذِهِ المَرأةُ الَّتِي تَلمَسُهُ، وَأيُّ نَوعٍ مِنَ النِّساءِ هِيَ. وَلَعَرَفَ أنَّها خاطِئَةٌ.»

The proud religious law-keeper who had asked Jesus to eat with him saw this. He said to himself, “If this Man were One Who speaks for God, He would know who and what kind of a woman put her hands on Him. She is a sinner.”

40 ف َقالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «لَدَيَّ ما أقُولُهُ لَكَ يا سِمعانُ.» فَرَدَّ سِمعانُ: «قُلْ يا مُعَلِّمُ.»

Jesus said to him, “I have something to say to you, Simon.” And Simon said, “Teacher, say it.”

41 ف َقالَ يَسُوعُ: «كانَ هُناكَ رَجُلانِ مَديُونانِ لِرَجُلٍ مُرابي. أحَدُهُما بِخَمسِ مِئَةِ دِينارٍ، وَالآخَرُ بِخَمسِينَ.

“There were two men who owed a certain man some money. The one man owed 500 pieces of silver money. The other man owed 50 pieces of silver money.

42 و َإذْ كانا عاجِزَينِ عَنِ السَّدادِ، تَكَرَّمَ الرَّجُلُ فَشَطَبَ دَينَهُما. فَمَنْ مِنهُما يَكُونُ أكثَرَ حُبّاً لَهُ؟»

Neither one of them had any money, so he told them they did not have to pay him back. Tell Me, which one would love him the most?”

43 أ جابَ سِمعانُ: «أظُنُّ أنَّهُ الَّذِي شَطَبَ لَهُ الدَّينَ الأكبَرَ.» فَقالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «أصَبْتَ فِي حُكمِكَ.»

Simon said, “I think it would be the one who owed the most.” And Jesus said to him, “You have said the right thing.”

44 و َقالَ لِسِمعانَ مُلتَفِتاً إلَى المَرأةِ: «هَلْ تَرَى هَذِهِ المَرأةَ؟ لَقَدْ جِئتُ إلَى بَيتِكَ فَلَمْ تُعطِنِي ماءً لِأغسِلَ رِجلَيَّ، أمّا هِيَ فَقَدْ بَلَّلَتْ قَدَمَيَّ بِدُمُوعِها، وَمَسَحَتهُما بِشَعرِها.

He turned to the woman and said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I came into your house and you gave Me no water to wash My feet. She washed My feet with her tears and dried them with the hairs of her head.

45 أ نتَ لَمْ تُقَبِّلنِي قُبلَةَ تَرحِيبٍ. أمّا هِيَ فَلَمْ تَتَوَقَّفْ عَنْ تَقبِيلِ قَدَمَيَّ مُنذُ دَخَلتُ.

You gave me no kiss, but this woman has kissed my feet from the time I came in.

46 أ نتَ لَمْ تَدهَنْ رَأسِي بِزَيتٍ، أمّا هِيَ فَدَهَنَتْ قَدَمَيَّ بِالعِطرِ.

You did not put even oil on My head but this woman has put special perfume on My feet.

47 ل ِهَذا أقُولُ لَكَ إنَّ خَطاياها الكَثِيرَةَ قَدْ غُفِرَتْ، بِدَليلِ أنَّها أظهَرَتْ حُبّاً كَثيراً. أمّا الَّذي تُغفَرُ لَهُ خَطايا قَليلَةٌ، فَإنَّهُ يُحِبُّ قَليلاً.»

I tell you, her many sins are forgiven because she loves much. But the one who has been forgiven little, loves little.”

48 ث ُمَّ قالَ لَها: «خَطاياكِ قَدْ غُفِرَتْ.»

Then He said to the woman, “Your sins are forgiven.”

49 ف َبَدَأ الجالِسونَ إلَى المائِدَةِ مَعَهُ يَقُولُونَ بَعضُهُمْ لِبَعضٍ: «مَنْ هَذا الَّذِي يَقدِرُ حَتَّى أنْ يَغفِرَ الخَطايا؟»

Those who were eating with Him began to say to themselves, “Who is this Man Who even forgives sins?”

50 أ مّا يَسُوعُ فَقالَ لِلمَرأةِ: «لَقَدْ خَلَّصَكِ إيمانُكِ، فَاذهَبِي بِسَلامٍ.»

He said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you from the punishment of sin. Go in peace.”
