1 ب َعدَ ذَلِكَ كانَ يَسُوعُ يَمُرُّ مِنْ مَدِينَةٍ إلَى أُخْرَى، وَمِنْ قَريَةٍ إلَى أُخْرَى، يَعِظُ وَيُعلِنُ بِشارَةَ مَلَكُوتِ اللهِ لِلنّاسِ. وَكانَ الرُّسُلُ الاثنا عَشَرُ مَعَهُ.

And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him,

2 ك َما رافَقَتهُ بَعضُ النِّساءِ اللَّواتِي شَفاهُنَّ مِنْ أرواحٍ شِرِّيرَةٍ وَأمراضٍ. وَهُنَّ: مَريَمُ الَّتِي تُدعَى المَجدَلِيَّةَ الَّتِي أخرَجَ مِنها سَبعَةَ أرواحٍ شِرِّيرَةٍ،

And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils,

3 و َيُوَنّا زَوجَةُ خُوزِي، الَّذِي كانَ مَسؤُولاً عَنْ بَيتِ هِيرُودُسَ، وَسُوسَنَّةُ، وَنِساءٌ كَثِيراتٌ غَيرُهُنَّ. وَكُنَّ يُنفِقنَ عَلَى يَسُوعَ وَتَلامِيذِهِ مِنْ أموالِهِنَّ. مَثَلُ البِذار

And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance.

4 و َكانَ جَمعٌ كَبِيرٌ مِنَ النّاسِ قَدْ تَجَمَّعَ حَولَ يَسُوعَ، إذْ كانوا يَأتُونَ إلَيهِ مِنْ كُلِّ المُدُنِ. فَقالَ لَهُمْ هَذا المَثَلَ:

And when much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of every city, he spake by a parable:

5 « خَرَجَ فَلّاحٌ لِيَبذِرَ بِذارَهُ. وَبَينَما هُوَ يَبذُرُ، وَقَعَ بَعضُ البِذارِ إلَى جانِبِ الطَّرِيقِ، فَداسَتهُ أقدامُ النّاسِ، وَأكَلَتهُ طُيُورُ السَّماءِ.

A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.

6 و َوَقَعَ بَعضُ البِذارِ عَلَى طَبَقَةٍ صَخرِيَّةٍ. وَعِندَما نَما، ذَبُلَ إذْ لَمْ تَكُنْ فِيهِ رُطُوبَةٌ.

And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.

7 و َوَقَعَ بَعضُ البِذارِ بَينَ الأشواكِ، فَنَمَتِ الأشواكُ مَعَهُ وَعَطَّلَتْ نُمُوَّهُ.

And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it.

8 و َوَقَعَ بَعضُ البِذارِ عَلَى الأرْضِ الصّالِحَةِ، فَنَما وَأثمَرَ مِئَةَ ضِعفٍ.» وَفِيما هُوَ يَقُولُ هَذِهِ الأشياءَ نادَى وَقالَ: «مَنْ لَهُ أُذُنانِ، فَلْيَسْمَعْ.» مَعنَى مَثَلِ البِذار

And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

9 و َسَألَهُ تَلامِيذُهُ عَنْ مَغزَى هَذا المَثَلِ،

And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be?

10 ف َقالَ: «لَقَدْ أُعطِيتُمُ امتِيازَ مَعرِفَةِ أسرارِ مَلَكُوتِ اللهِ. أمّا لِلبَقِيَّةِ فَتُعطَى أسرارُ المَلَكُوتِ بِأمثالٍ … ‹فَلا يُبصِرُونَ حِينَ يَنظُرُونَ، وَلا يَفهَمُونَ حِينَ يَسمَعُونَ.›»

And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.

11 « إلَيكُمْ مَعنَى المَثَلِ: البِذارُ هُوَ كَلِمَةُ اللهِ.

Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

12 ف َالبِذارُ الَّذي وَقَعَ إلَى جانِبِ الطَّرِيقِ، يُمَثِّلُ الَّذِينَ يَسمَعُونَ كَلِمَةَ اللهِ، ثُمَّ يَأْتِي إبليسُ وَيَنزِعُ الكَلِمَةَ مِنْ قُلُوبِهِمْ. وَبِهَذا لا يَستَطِيعُونَ أنْ يُؤمِنُوا وَيُخَلَّصُوا.

Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.

13 أ مّا الَّذي وَقَعَ عَلَى الصَّخرِ، فَيُمَثِّلُ الَّذِينَ يَقبَلُونَ الكَلِمَةَ بِفَرَحٍ حِينَ يَسمَعُونَها، لَكِنْ لَيسَ لَهُمْ جُذُورٌ، فَيُؤمِنُونَ لِفَترَةٍ، لَكِنَّهُمْ يَتَراجَعُونَ فِي وَقتِ الامتِحانِ.

They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.

14 أ مّا الَّذي وَقَعَ بَينَ الأشواكِ، فَيُمَثِّلُ الَّذِينَ يَسمَعُونَ الكَلِمَةَ، وَيَمضُونَ فِي طَرِيقِهِمْ. لَكِنَّهُمْ يَسمَحُونَ لِهُمُومِ الحَياةِ وَغِناها وَمُتَعِها بِأنْ تَأْتِيَ وَتَخنُقَهُمْ، فَلا يُثْمِرُونَ ثَمَراً ناضِجاً.

And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.

15 أ مّا الَّذِي وَقَعَ عَلَى الأرْضِ الصّالِحَةِ، فَيُمَثِّلُ ذَوِي القُلُوبِ الصّالِحَةِ الصّادِقَةِ. يَسمَعُ هَؤُلاءِ كَلِمَةَ اللهِ وَيَتَمَسَّكُونَ بِها، وَبِصَبرِهِمْ يُثمِرُونَ.» استَخدِمْ فَهمَك

But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.

16 و َقالَ: «لا يُضِيءُ أحَدٌ مِصباحاً وَيُغَطِّيهِ بِإناءٍ أوْ يُخْفيهِ تَحتَ سَرِيرٍ! بَلْ يَضَعُهُ عَلَى حَمّالَةٍ مُرتَفِعَةٍ، لِكَي يَستَطِيعَ الداخِلُونَ أنْ يَرَوا النُّورَ.

No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light.

17 ل ِأنَّهُ ما مِنْ مَخفِيٍّ إلّا وَسَيُظهَرُ، وَما مِنْ سِرٍّ إلّا وَسَيَنكَشِفُ وَيَأتِي إلَى النُّورِ.

For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.

18 ف َانتَبِهُوا كَيفَ تَسمَعُونَ، لِأنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ يَملُكُ سَيُزادُ لَهُ، أمّا الَّذِي لا يَملِكُ، فَسَيُنتَزَعُ مِنهُ ما يَبدُو أنَّهُ لَهُ.» عائِلَةُ يَسُوعَ هُمْ أتباعُه

Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have.

19 و َجاءَتْ أُمُّ يَسُوعَ وَإخوَتُهُ إلَيهِ، لَكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَتَمَكَّنُوا مِنَ الوُصُولِ إلَيهِ بِسَبَبِ الازدِحامِ.

Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come at him for the press.

20 ف َقِيلَ لَهُ: «أُمُّكَ وَإخوَتُكَ واقِفُونَ خارِجاً، وَهُمْ يُرِيدُونَ أنْ يَرَوكَ.»

And it was told him by certain which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee.

21 ف َأجابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «أُمِّي وَإخوَتِي هُمُ الَّذِينَ يَسمَعُونَ كَلامَ اللهِ وَيُطِيعُونَهُ.» تَلامِيذُ يَسُوعَ يَرَونَ قُوَّتَه

And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it.

22 و َذاتَ يَومٍ رَكِبَ يَسُوعُ وَتَلامِيذُهُ قارِباً، وَقالَ لَهُمْ: «لِنَعبُرْ إلَى الجانِبِ الآخَرِ مِنَ البُحَيرَةِ.» فَأبحَرُوا.

Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake. And they launched forth.

23 و َبَينَما كانُوا مُبحِرِينَ، نامَ يَسُوعُ، وَثارَتْ عاصِفَةٌ شَدِيدَةٌ عَلَى البُحَيرَةِ. وَبَدَأ القارِبُ يَمتَلِئُ بِالماءِ، وَصارُوا فِي خَطَرٍ.

But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy.

24 ف َجاءُوا إلَيهِ وَأيقَظُوهُ وَقالوا لَهُ: «يا سَيِّدُ، يا سَيِّدُ، إنَّنا نَغرَقُ!» حينَئِذٍ قامَ وَانتَهَرَ الرِّيحَ وَالأمواجَ، فَسَكَنَتِ الرِّيحُ وَهَدَأتِ البُحيرَةُ.

And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.

25 ف َقالَ يَسُوعُ لَهُمْ: «أينَ إيمانُكُمْ؟» لَكِنَّهُمْ كانُوا خائِفِينَ وَمَذهُولِينَ، وَهُمْ يَقولونَ بَعضُهُمْ لِبَعضٍ: «أيُّ رَجُلٍ هَذا الَّذي يَأمُرُ الرِّيحَ وَالمياهَ، فَيُطِيعانِهِ؟» رَجُلٌ مَسكُونٌ بِأرواحٍ شِرِّيرَة

And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him.

26 و َهَكَذا أبحَرُوا إلَى مِنْطَقَةِ الجَدرِيِّينَ المُقابِلَةِ لإقلِيمِ الجَلِيلِ.

And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee.

27 و َعِندَما وَصَلَ يَسُوعُ إلَى الشّاطِئِ، لاقاهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ البَلدَةِ فِيهِ أرواحٌ شِرِّيرَةٌ. وَلَمْ يَكُنْ قَدِ ارتَدَى ثِياباً أوْ سَكَنَ بَيتاً مُنذُ مُدَّةٍ طَوِيلَةٍ، بَلْ كانَ يَعِيشُ بَينَ القُبُورِ.

And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes, neither abode in any house, but in the tombs.

28 ف َلَمّا رَأى يَسُوعَ صَرَخَ وَارتَمَى أمامَهُ، وَقالَ لَهُ بِصَوتٍ مُرتَفِعٍ: «ماذا تُرِيدُ مِنِّي يا يَسُوعُ يا ابنَ اللهِ العَلِيِّ؟ أتَوَسَّلُ إلَيكَ ألّا تُعَذِّبَنِي.»

When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not.

29 ق الَ هَذا لِأنَّ يَسُوعَ كانَ قَدْ أمَرَ الرُّوحَ النَّجِسَ بِأنْ يَخرُجَ. وَقَدْ تَمَلَّكَهُ الرُّوحُ الشِّرِّيرُ مَرّاتٍ كَثِيرَةً، فَكانَوا يَربُطُونَهُ بِسَلاسِلَ وَقُيُودٍ، وَيَضَعُونَهُ تَحتَ الحِراسَةِ. لَكِنَّهُ كانَ يَكسِرُ القُيُودَ، وَيَقتادُهُ الرُّوحُ الشِّرِّيْرُ إلَى البَرِّيَّةِ.

(For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters; and he brake the bands, and was driven of the devil into the wilderness.)

30 ف َسَألَهُ يَسُوعُ: «ما اسْمُكَ؟» فَقالَ: «اسْمِي جَيشٌ.» إذْ كانَتْ أرواحٌ شِرِّيرَةٌ كَثِيرَةٌ قَدْ دَخَلَتهُ.

And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him.

31 و َتَوَسَّلَتِ الأرواحُ الشِّرِّيْرَةُ إلَى يَسُوعَ ألّا يَأمُرَها بِالذَّهابِ إلَى الهاوِيَةِ.

And they besought him that he would not command them to go out into the deep.

32 و َكانَ هُناكَ قَطِيعٌ مِنَ الخَنازِيرِ يَرعَى عَلَى جانِبِ التَّلَّةِ، فَتَوَسَّلَتِ الأرواحُ الشِّرِّيْرَةُ إلَيهِ لِيَسمَحَ لَها بِالدُّخُولِ فِي الخَنازِيرِ، فَسَمَحَ لَها بِذَلِكَ.

And there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they besought him that he would suffer them to enter into them. And he suffered them.

33 ف َخَرَجَتِ الأرواحُ الشِّرِّيْرَةُ مِنَ الرَّجُلِ وَدَخَلَتْ فِي الخَنازِيرِ، فَاندَفَعَ القَطِيعُ مِنْ فَوقِ المُنحَدَرِ وَهَوَى فِي البُحَيرَةِ وَغَرِقَ.

Then went the devils out of the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were choked.

34 و َلَمّا رَأى الرُّعاةُ ما حَدَثَ هَرَبُوا، وَأبلَغُوا النّاسَ فِي البَلدَةِ وَفِي الرِّيفِ بِما حَصَلَ.

When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and went and told it in the city and in the country.

35 ف َخَرَجَ النّاسُ لِيَرَوا ما حَدَثَ، وَجاءُوا إلَى يَسُوعَ، وَوَجَدُوا الرَّجُلَ الَّذِي خَرَجَتْ مِنهُ الأرواحُ الشِّرِّيْرَةُ جالِساً عِندَ قَدَمَيِّ يَسُوعَ، وَهوَ لابِسٌ وَفِي كامِلِ عَقلِهِ، فَخافُوا.

Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.

36 و َأخبَرَهُمُ الَّذِينَ رَأَوْا ما حَدَثَ وَكَيفَ شُفِيَ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي كانَتْ فِيهِ الأرواحُ الشِّرِّيرَةُ.

They also which saw it told them by what means he that was possessed of the devils was healed.

37 ف َطَلَبَ كُلُّ سُكّانِ مِنْطَقَةِ الجَدرِيِّيْنَ إلَى يَسُوعَ أنْ يَترُكَهُمْ، فَقَدْ خافُوا خَوفاً شَدِيداً. فَرَكِبَ يَسُوعُ القارِبَ لَيَعودَ،

Then the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes round about besought him to depart from them; for they were taken with great fear: and he went up into the ship, and returned back again.

38 ل َكِنَّ الرَّجُلَ الَّذِي خَرَجَتْ مِنهُ الأرواحُ الشِّرِّيرَةُ رَجاهُ أنْ يَذهَبَ مَعَهُ، فَصَرَفَهُ يَسُوعُ وَقالَ لَهُ:

Now the man out of whom the devils were departed besought him that he might be with him: but Jesus sent him away, saying,

39 « عُدْ إلَى بَيتِكَ، وَأخبِرْ بِكُلِّ ما فَعَلَهُ اللهُ مِنْ أجلِكَ.» فَانصَرَفَ الرَّجُلُ، وَأذاعَ فِي كُلِّ أنحاءِ البَلدَةِ ما فَعَلَهُ يَسُوعُ مِنْ أجلِهِ. إقامَةُ فَتاةٍ مِنَ المَوتِ وَشِفاءُ امْرأةً نازِفَةً

Return to thine own house, and shew how great things God hath done unto thee. And he went his way, and published throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done unto him.

40 و َعِندَما عادَ يَسُوعُ رَحَّبَتْ بِهِ جُمُوعُ النّاسِ، فَقَدْ كانُوا كُلُّهُمْ فِي انتِظارِهِ.

And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was returned, the people gladly received him: for they were all waiting for him.

41 و َفِي تِلكَ اللَّحظَةِ، جاءَ رَجُلٌ اسْمُهُ يايرُسُ، وَكانَ يايرُسُ هَذا مَسؤُولاً عَنِ المَجمَعِ، فَارتَمَى عِندَ قَدَمَي يَسُوعَ، وَرَجاهُ أنْ يُرافِقَهُ إلَى بَيتِهِ.

And, behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus' feet, and besought him that he would come into his house:

42 ف َقَدْ كانَتْ لَهُ ابنَةٌ وَحِيدَةٌ فِي الثّانِيَةَ عَشْرَةَ مِنْ عُمرِها عَلَى وَشَكِ المَوتِ. وَبَينَما كانَ يَسُوعُ سائِراً نَحوَ بَيتِهِ، كانَتِ الحُشُودُ تَدفَعُهُ.

For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay a dying. But as he went the people thronged him.

43 و َكانَتْ هُناكَ امْرأةٌ تَنزِفُ مُنذُ اثنَتَي عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً، وَقَدْ أنفَقَتْ كُلَّ ما لَدَيها عَلَى الأطِبّاءِ، وَعَجِزُوا عَنْ شِفائِها.

And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any,

44 ف َجاءَتْ مِنْ وَراءِ يَسُوعَ، وَلَمَسَتْ طَرَفَ عَباءَتِهِ. فَانقَطَعَ النَّزِيفُ فَوراً.

Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched.

45 ف َقالَ يَسُوعُ: «مَنْ لَمَسَنِي؟» وَبَينَما كانُوا كُلُّهُمْ يُنكِرُونَ ذَلِكَ، قالَ بُطرُسُ: «يا سَيِّدُ، النّاسُ كُلُّهُمْ يَدفَعُونَكَ وَيَضَغَطُونَ عَلَيكَ.»

And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?

46 ف َقالَ يَسُوعُ: «أحَدُهُمْ لَمَسَنِي، فَقَدْ شَعَرتُ بِقُوَّةٍ خَرَجَتْ مِنِّي.»

And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me.

47 ف َأدرَكَتِ المَرأةُ أنَّهُ لاحَظَها. فَجاءَتْ مُرتَعِشَةً وَارتَمَتْ أمامَهُ، وَأخبَرَتهُ أمامَ كُلِّ النّاسِ لِماذا لَمَسَتُهُ، وَكَيفَ شُفِيَتْ فَوراً.

And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.

48 ف َقالَ لَها: «يا ابنَتِي، لَقَدْ خَلَّصَكِ إيمانُكِ، فَاذْهَبِي بِسَلامٍ.»

And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.

49 و َبَينَما كانَ يَتَكَلَّمُ، جاءَ واحِدٌ مِنْ بَيتِ المَسؤُولِ عَنِ المَجمَعِ وَقالَ: «ابنَتُكَ ماتَتْ، فَلا تُزعِجِ المُعَلِّمَ.»

While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Master.

50 ف َسَمِعَ يَسُوعُ ذَلِكَ وَقالَ لَهُ: «لا تَخَفْ، ما عَلَيكَ إلّا أنْ تُؤمِنَ، وَسَتُشفَى ابنَتُكَ.»

But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole.

51 و َعِندَما وَصَلَ يَسُوعُ إلَى البَيتِ، لَمْ يَدَعْ أحَداً يَدخُلُ مَعَهُ سِوَىْ بُطرُسَ وَيُوحَنّا وَيَعقُوبَ وَأبَيْ الصَّبيَّةِ وَأُمِّها.

And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in, save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden.

52 و َبَينَما كانَ جَمِيعُ النّاسِ يَبكُونَ وَيَنُوحُونَ عَلَيها، قالَ يَسُوعُ: «كُفُّوا عَنِ البُكاءِ، فَهِيَ لَمْ تَمُتْ، لَكِنَّها نائِمَةٌ.»

And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth.

53 ف َضَحِكُوا عَلَيهِ لِعِلْمِهِمْ بَأنَّها ماتَتْ.

And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.

54 و َلَكِنَّهُ أمسَكَ بِيَدِها وَنادَى: «يا صَبِيَّةُ، انهَضِي!»

And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise.

55 ف َعادَتْ رُوحُها إلَيها، وَوَقَفَتْ فَوراً. فَأمَرَ يَسُوعُ بِأنْ يُقَدَّمَ لَها طَعامٌ لِتَأْكُلَ.

And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat.

56 و َذُهِلَ وَالِداها، لَكِنَّهُ أمَرَهُما بِأنْ لا يُخبِرا أحَداً بِما حَصَلَ.

And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done.
