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.

After this Jesus went to all the cities and towns preaching and telling the Good News about the holy nation of God. The twelve followers 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،

Some women who had been healed of demons and diseases were with Him. Mary Magdalene, who had had seven demons put out of her, was one of them.

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

Joanna, the wife of Chuza who was one of Herod’s helpers, was another one. Susanna and many others also cared for Jesus by using what they had. The Picture-Story of the Man Who Planted Seed

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

Many people came together from every town to Jesus. He told them a picture-story.

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

“A man went out to plant seed. As he planted the seed, some fell by the side of the road. It was walked on and birds came and ate it.

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

Some seed fell between rocks. As soon as it started to grow, it dried up because it had no water.

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

Some seed fell among thorns. The thorns grew and did not give the seed room to grow.

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

Some seed fell on good ground. It grew and gave one hundred times as much grain.” When Jesus had finished saying this, He cried out, “You have ears, then listen!”

9 و َسَألَهُ تَلامِيذُهُ عَنْ مَغزَى هَذا المَثَلِ،

His followers asked Him what this picture-story meant.

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

Jesus said, “You were given the secrets about the holy nation of God. Others are told picture-stories. As they look, they do not see. As they hear, they do not understand. Jesus Tells about the Man Who Planted Seed

11 « إلَيكُمْ مَعنَى المَثَلِ: البِذارُ هُوَ كَلِمَةُ اللهِ.

“This is what the picture-story means. 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 side of the road hear the Word. Then the devil comes and takes the Word from their hearts. He does not want them to believe and be saved from the punishment of sin.

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.

Those which fell among rocks are those who when they hear the Word receive it with joy. These have no root. For awhile they believe, but when they are tempted they give up.

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.

Those which fell among thorns hear the Word but go their own way. The cares of this life let the thorns grow. A love for money lets the thorns grow also. And the fun of this life lets the thorns grow. Their grain never becomes full-grown.

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

But those which fell on good ground have heard the Word. They keep it in a good and true heart and they keep on giving good grain. The Picture-Story of the Lamp

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 lights a lamp and puts it under a pail or under a bed. He puts it on a lamp-stand so all who come into the room may see it.

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

Nothing is secret but what will be known. Anything that is hidden will be brought into the light.

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

Be careful how you listen! Whoever has, to him will be given. Whoever does not have, even the little he has will be taken from him.” The New Kind of Family

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

The mother of Jesus and His brothers came to Him. They could not get near Him because of so many people.

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

Someone said to Jesus, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside. They want to see You.”

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

Jesus said to them, “My mother and brothers are these who hear the Word of God and do it.” The Wind and Waves Obey Jesus

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

On one of those days Jesus and His followers got into a boat. Jesus said to them, “Let us go over to the other side of the lake.” Then they pushed out into the water.

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

As they were going, Jesus fell asleep. A wind storm came over the lake. The boat was filling with water and they were in danger.

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

The followers came to awake Jesus. They said, “Teacher! Teacher! We are going to die!” Then Jesus got up and spoke sharp words to the wind and the high waves. The wind stopped blowing and there were no more waves.

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

He said to them, “Where is your faith?” The followers were surprised and afraid. They said to each other, “What kind of a man is He? He speaks to the wind and the waves and they obey Him.” Demons Ask Jesus to Let Them Live in Pigs

26 و َهَكَذا أبحَرُوا إلَى مِنْطَقَةِ الجَدرِيِّينَ المُقابِلَةِ لإقلِيمِ الجَلِيلِ.

They came to the land of the Gadarenes, which is on the other side of the country of 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.

As Jesus stepped out on land, a man met Him who had come from the city. This man had demons in him. For a long time he had worn no clothes. He did not live in a house, but lived among the graves.

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 got down before Him and cried with a loud voice, “What do You want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High? I beg of You not to hurt me!”

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 Jesus had spoken to the demon to come out of the man. Many times the demon had taken hold of him. The man had to be tied with chains. But he would break the chains and be taken by the demon into the desert.

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

Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” And the demon answered, “Many,” because many demons had gone into him.

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

The demons asked Jesus not to send them to the hole without a bottom in the earth.

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

There were many pigs feeding on the side of the mountain. The demons begged Jesus to let them go into the pigs. Jesus said they could.

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

The demons came out of the man and went into the pigs. Then the many pigs ran down the side of the mountain into the water and died.

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

The men who cared for the pigs ran fast and told what had happened in the town 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.

People came to see what had happened. They came to Jesus and saw the man from whom the demons had been sent. He was sitting at the feet of Jesus with clothes on and had the right use of his mind. The people were afraid.

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

Those who had seen it told how the man who had had the demons was healed.

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

Then all the people of the country of the Gadarenes begged Jesus to go away from them. They were very much afraid. Jesus got into the boat and went back to the other side.

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

The man out of whom the demons had gone begged to go with Jesus. But Jesus sent him away and said,

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

“Go back to your house and tell everything God has done for you.” He went back and told all the people of the city what great things Jesus had done for him. Two Were Healed through Faith

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

Many people were glad to see Jesus when He got back. They were 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.

A man named Jairus was a leader of the Jewish place of worship. As he came to Jesus, he got down at His feet. He asked Jesus if He would come to 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.

He had only one daughter and she was dying. This girl was about twelve years old. As Jesus went, the people pushed Him from every side.

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

A woman had been sick for twelve years with a flow of blood. (She had spent all the money she had on doctors.) But she could not be healed by anyone.

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

She came behind Jesus and touched the bottom of His coat. At once the flow of blood stopped.

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

Jesus said, “Who touched Me?” Everyone said that they had not touched Him. Peter said, “Teacher, so many people are pushing You from every side and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’”

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

Then Jesus said, “Someone touched Me because I know power has gone from Me.”

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

When the woman saw she could not hide it, she came shaking. She got down before Jesus. Then she told Jesus in front of all the people why she had touched Him. She told how she was healed at once.

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

Jesus said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace.”

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

While Jesus was yet talking, a man came from the house of the leader of the place of worship. This man said to Jairus, “Your daughter is dead. Do not make the Teacher use anymore of His time.”

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

Jesus heard it and said to Jairus, “Do not be afraid, only believe. She will be made well.”

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

Jesus went into the house. He let only Peter and James and John and the father and mother of the girl go in with Him.

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

Everyone was crying and full of sorrow because of her. Jesus said, “Do not cry. She is not dead, but is sleeping.”

53 ف َضَحِكُوا عَلَيهِ لِعِلْمِهِمْ بَأنَّها ماتَتْ.

Then they laughed at Jesus because they knew she was dead.

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

Jesus sent them all out. He took the girl by the hand and said, “Child, get up!”

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

Her spirit came back and she got up at once. Jesus told them to bring her food.

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

Her parents were surprised and wondered about it. Then Jesus told them they should tell no one what had happened.
