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

And when he completed all his sayings in the ears of the people, he went into Capernaum;

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

and a certain centurion's servant being ill, was about to die, who was much valued by him,

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

and having heard about Jesus, he sent unto him elders of the Jews, beseeching him, that having come he might thoroughly save his servant.

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

And they, having come near unto Jesus, were calling upon him earnestly, saying -- `He is worthy to whom thou shalt do this,

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

for he doth love our nation, and the synagogue he did build to us.'

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.

And Jesus was going on with them, and now when he is not far distant from the house the centurion sent unto him friends, saying to him, `Sir, be not troubled, for I am not worthy that under my roof thou mayest enter;

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

wherefore not even myself thought I worthy to come unto thee, but say in a word, and my lad shall 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 also am a man placed under authority, having under myself soldiers, and I say to this, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Be coming, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doth.'

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.»

And having heard these things Jesus wondered at him, and having turned to the multitude following him, he said, `I say to you, not even in Israel so much faith did I find;'

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

and those sent, having turned back to the house, found the ailing servant in health.

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

And it came to pass, on the morrow, he was going on to a city called Nain, and there were going with him many of his disciples, and a great multitude,

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.

and as he came nigh to the gate of the city, then, lo, one dead was being carried forth, an only son of his mother, and she a widow, and a great multitude of the city was with her.

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

And the Lord having seen her, was moved with compassion towards her, and said to her, `Be not weeping;'

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

and having come near, he touched the bier, and those bearing stood still, and he said, `Young man, to thee I say, Arise;'

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

and the dead sat up, and began to speak, and he gave him to his mother;

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

and fear took hold of all, and they were glorifying God, saying -- `A great prophet hath risen among us,' and -- `God did look upon His people.'

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

And the account of this went forth in all Judea about him, and in all the region around.

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

And the disciples of John told him about all these things,

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

and John having called near a certain two of his disciples, sent unto Jesus, saying, `Art thou he who is coming, or for another do we look?'

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

And having come near to him, the men said, `John the Baptist sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he who is coming, or for another do we look?'

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

And in that hour he cured many from sicknesses, and plagues, and evil spirits, and to many blind he granted sight.

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.

And Jesus answering said to them, `Having gone on, report to John what ye saw and heard, that blind men do see again, lame do walk, lepers are cleansed, deaf do hear, dead are raised, poor have good news proclaimed;

23 و َهَنِيئاً لِمَنْ لا يَتَرَدَّدُ فِي الإيمانِ بِي.»

and happy is he whoever may not be stumbled in me.'

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

And the messengers of John having gone away, he began to say unto the multitudes concerning John: `What have ye gone forth to the wilderness to look on? a reed by the wind shaken?

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

but what have ye gone forth to see? a man in soft garments clothed? lo, they in splendid apparellings, and living in luxury, 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 have ye gone forth to see? a prophet? Yes, I say to you, and much more than a prophet:

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

this is he concerning whom it hath been written, Lo, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee;

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

for I say to you, a greater prophet, among those born of women, than John the Baptist there is not; but the least in the reign of God is greater than he.'

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

And all the people having heard, and the tax-gatherers, declared God righteous, having been baptized with the baptism of John,

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

but the Pharisees, and the lawyers, the counsel of God did put away for themselves, not having been baptized by him.

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

And the Lord said, `To what, then, shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they 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 to children, to those sitting in a market-place, and calling one to another, and saying, We piped to you, and ye did not dance, we mourned to you, and ye did not weep!

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

`For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and ye say, He hath 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 ye say, Lo, a man, a glutton, and a wine drinker, a friend of tax-gatherers and sinners;

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

and the wisdom was justified from all her children.'

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

And a certain one of the Pharisees was asking him that he might eat with him, and having gone into the house of the Pharisee he reclined (at meat),

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

and lo, a woman in the city, who was a sinner, having known that he reclineth (at meat) in the house of the Pharisee, having provided an alabaster box of ointment,

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

and having stood behind, beside his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with the tears, and with the hairs of her head she was wiping, and was kissing his feet, and was anointing with the ointment.

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.»

And the Pharisee who did call him, having seen, spake within himself, saying, `This one, if he were a prophet, would have known who and of what kind the woman who doth touch him, that she is a sinner.'

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

And Jesus answering said unto him, `Simon, I have something to say to thee;' and he saith, `Teacher, say on.'

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

`Two debtors were to a certain creditor; the one was owing five hundred denaries, and the other fifty;

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

and they not having to give back, he forgave both; which then of them, say thou, will love him more?'

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

And Simon answering said, `I suppose that to whom he forgave the more;' and he said to him, `Rightly thou didst judge.'

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.

And having turned unto the woman, he said to Simon, `Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house; water for my feet thou didst not give, but this woman with tears did wet my feet, and with the hairs of her head did wipe;

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

a kiss to me thou didst not give, but this woman, from what I came in, did not cease kissing my feet;

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

with oil my head thou didst not anoint, but this woman with ointment did anoint 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.»

therefore I say to thee, her many sins have been forgiven, because she did love much; but to whom little is forgiven, little he doth love.'

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

And he said to her, `Thy sins have been forgiven;'

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

and those reclining with him (at meat) began to say within themselves, `Who is this, who also doth forgive sins?'

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

and he said unto the woman, `Thy faith have saved thee, be going on to peace.'
