1 و َعَلِمَ يَسُوعُ أنَّ الفِرِّيْسِيِّيْنَ سَمِعُوا أنَّهُ كانَ يُتَلْمِذُ وَيُعَمِّدُ أشْخاصاً أكْثَرَ مِنْ يُوحَنّا،

Jesus knew the proud religious law-keepers had heard He was making and baptizing more followers than John.

2 م َعَ أنَّ يَسُوعَ نَفْسَهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ يُعَمِّدُ، بَلْ تَلامِيْذُهُ.

Jesus did not baptize anyone Himself but His followers did.

3 ف َغادَرَ يَسُوعُ إقلِيْمَ اليَهُودِيَّةِ وَعادَ ثانِيَةً إلَى إقلِيْمِ الجَلِيلِ.

Then Jesus went from the country of Judea to the country of Galilee.

4 و َكانَ مِنَ الضَّرُورِيِّ أنْ يَمُرَّ عَبْرَ إقلِيْمِ السّامِرَةِ.

He had to go through the country of Samaria.

5 ف َوَصَلَ إلَى بَلْدَةٍ سامِرِيَّةٍ تَدْعَى سُوخارَ. وَهِيَ قُرْبَ الأرْضِ الَّتِي أعطاها يَعْقُوبُ لابْنِهِ يُوسُفَ.

So He came to a town in Samaria called Sycar. It was near the piece of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

6 و َكانَتْ بِئْرُ يَعْقُوبَ هُناكَ. فَجَلَسَ يَسُوعُ عِنْدَ البِئْرِ لِأنَّهُ كانَ مُتْعَباً مِنَ المَسِيْرِ. وَكانَ الوَقْتُ نَحْوَ الثّانِيَةَ عَشْرَةَ ظُهْراً.

Jacob’s well was there. Jesus was tired from traveling so He sat down just as He was by the well. It was about noon.

7 ف َجاءَتِ امْرأةٌ سامِرِيَّةٌ لِتَأْخُذَ ماءً مِنَ البِئْرِ. فَقالَ لَها يَسُوعُ: «أعطِيْنِي لِأشْرَبَ.»

A woman of Samaria came to get water. Jesus said to her, “Give Me a drink.”

8 و َكانَ التَّلامِيْذُ قَدْ ذَهَبُوا إلَى المَدِيْنَةِ لِيَشْتَرُوا طَعاماً.

His followers had gone to the town to buy food.

9 ف َقالَتْ لَهُ المَرأةُ السّامِرِيَّةُ: «أنتَ يَهُودِيٌّ، وَأنا امْرأةٌ سامِرِيَّةٌ. فَكَيْفَ تَطلُبُ مِنِّي أنْ أُعطِيَكَ لِتَشْرَبَ؟» قالَتِ المَرأةُ هَذا لِأنَّ اليَهُودَ يَرْفُضُونَ أنْ يَختَلِطُوا بِالسّامِرِيِّيْنَ.

The woman of Samaria said to Him, “You are a Jew. I am of Samaria. Why do You ask me for a drink when the Jews have nothing to do with the people of Samaria?”

10 ف َأجابَها يَسُوعُ: «أنتِ لا تَعْرِفِيْنَ ما يُعْطِيْهِ اللهُ، وَلا تَعْرِفِيْنَ مَنِ الَّذِي يَقُولُ لَكِ: أعطِيْنِي لِأشْرَبَ. فَلَو عَرَفتِ، لَطَلَبتِ أنتِ مِنهُ، وَلأعطاكِ ماءً مُحْيياً.»

Jesus said to her, “You do not know what God has to give. You do not know Who said to you, ‘Give Me a drink.’ If you knew, you would have asked Him. He would have given you living water.”

11 ف َقالَت لَهُ المَرأةُ: «لَيسَ لَديكَ دَلوٌ يا سَيِّدْ، وَالبِئرُ عَميقَةٌ. فَكَيفَ سَتَحصُلُ عَلَى مِثلِ ذَلِكَ الماءِ؟ لا أظُنُّكَ أعظَمَ مِنْ أبينا يَعْقُوبَ!

The woman said to Him, “Sir, the well is deep. You have nothing to get water with. Where will You get the living water?

12 ف َهُوَ الَّذِي أعطانا هَذِهِ البِئْرَ، وَقَدْ شَرِبَ مِنْها هُوَ وَأبْناؤُهُ وَمَواشِيْهِ.»

Are You greater than our early father Jacob? He gave us the well. He and his children and his cattle drank from it.” Jesus Tells of the Living Water

13 ف َأجابَها يَسُوعُ: «كُلُّ مَنْ يَشْرَبُ مِنْ هَذا الماءِ سَيَعطَشُ ثانِيَةً،

Jesus said to her, “Whoever drinks this water will be thirsty again.

14 أ مّا مَنْ يَشْرَبُ مِنَ الماءِ الَّذِي أُعطِيْهِ إيّاهُ أنا، فَلَنْ يَعطَشَ أبَداً، بَلْ يَصِيْرُ الماءُ الَّذِي أُعطِيْهِ نَبْعاً فِي داخِلِهِ، وَيَتَدَفَّقُ مُعطِياً حَياةً أبَدِيَّةً.»

Whoever drinks the water that I will give him will never be thirsty. The water that I will give him will become in him a well of life that lasts forever.”

15 ف َقالَتْ لَهُ المَرأةُ: «أعطِنِي هَذا الماءَ يا سَيِّدُ، فَلا أعطَشُ أبَداً وَلا أعُودُ إلَى هُنا طَلَباً لِلماءِ.»

The woman said, “Sir, give me this water so I will never be thirsty. Then I will not have to come all this way for water.” The True Kind of Worship

16 ف َقالَ لَها يَسُوعُ: «اذْهَبِي وَنادِي زَوْجَكِ وَتَعالا إلَى هُنا.»

Jesus said to her, “Go call your husband and come back.”

17 ف َقالَتِ المَرأةُ: «لا زَوْجَ لِي!» فَقالَ لَها يَسُوعُ: «أصَبْتِ بِقَولِكِ: ‹لا زَوْجَ لِيْ.›

The woman said, “I have no husband.” Jesus said, “You told the truth when you said, ‘I have no husband.’

18 ف َقَدْ كانَ لَكِ خَمْسَةُ أزواجٍ، أمّا الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي تَعِيْشِيْنَ مَعَهُ الآنَ، فَلَيْسَ زَوْجَكِ! فَقَدْ صَدَقْتِ.»

You have had five husbands. The one you have now is not your husband. You told the truth.”

19 ق الَتِ المَرأةُ: «يا سَيِّدُ، لا بُدَّ أنَّكَ نَبِيٌّ!

The woman said to Him, “Sir, I think You are a person Who speaks for God.

20 ل َقَدْ عَبَدَ آباؤُنا السّامِرِيُّونَ اللهَ عَلَى هَذا الجَبَلِ، أمّا أنتُمُ اليَهُودَ فَتَقُولُونَ إنَّهُ يَنْبَغِي لِلنّاسِ أنْ يَعبُدُوا اللهَ فِي مَدينَةِ القُدْسِ!»

Our early fathers worshiped on this mountain. You Jews say Jerusalem is the place where men should worship.”

21 ف َقالَ لَها يَسُوعُ: «يا امْرأةُ، صَدِّقِيْنِي أنَّهُ سَيَأْتِي الوَقْتُ حِيْنَ سَتَعْبُدُونَ الآبَ لا عَلَى هَذا الجَبَلِ وَلا فِي مَدينَةِ القُدْسِ.

Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe Me. The time is coming when you will not worship the Father on this mountain or in Jerusalem.

22 أ نتُمُ السّامِرِيِّيْنَ تَعبُدُونَ ما لا تَعْرِفُونَ، أمّا نَحنُ اليَهُودَ فَنَعْرِفُ ما نَعْبُدُ، لِأنَّ الخَلاصَ يَأْتِي مِنَ اليَهُودِ.

You people do not know what you worship. We Jews know what we worship. It is through the Jews that men are saved from the punishment of their sins.

23 و َلَكِنْ سَيَأْتِي وَقْتٌ، بَلْ أتَى الآنَ، حِيْنَ يَعْبُدُ العابِدُونَ الحَقِيْقِيُّونَ الآبَ عِبادَةً رُوحِيَّةً وَحَقِيْقِيَّةً. فَهَكَذا يُرِيْدُ الآبُ أنْ يَكُونَ عابِدُوهُ.

The time is coming, yes, it is here now, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. The Father wants that kind of worshipers.

24 ا للهُ رُوحٌ، وَالَّذِيْنَ يَعْبُدُونَهُ يَنبَغِي أنْ يَعْبُدُوهُ بِالرُّوحِ وَالحَقِّ.»

God is Spirit. Those who worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth.” Jesus Is the One the Jews Are Looking For

25 ف َقالَتْ: «أنا أعرِفُ أنَّ مَشِيْحا – أيِ المَسِيْحَ – سَيَأْتِي. وَحِيْنَ يَأْتِي سَيُخبِرُنا بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ.»

The woman said to Him, “I know the Jews are looking for One Who is coming. He is called the Christ. When He comes, He will tell us everything.”

26 ق الَ يَسُوعُ: «أنا هُوَ الَّذِي أُكَلِّمُكِ.»

Jesus said to her, “I am the Christ, the One talking with you!”

27 و َفِي تِلْكَ اللَّحظَةِ وَصَلَ تَلامِيْذُهُ، وَدُهِشُوا جِدّاً لِأنَّهُ كانَ يَتَكَلَّمُ مَعَ امْرأةٍ. لَكِنْ لَمْ يَسْألْهُ أحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ: «ما الَّذِي تُرِيْدُهُ مِنْها؟» أوْ «لِماذا تُكَلِّمُها؟»

Right then the followers came back and were surprised and wondered about finding Him talking with a woman. But no one said, “What do You want?” or, “Why are You talking with her?”

28 أ مّا المَرأةُ فَقَدْ تَرَكَتْ جَرَّتَها، وَعادَتْ إلَى البَلْدَةِ وَقالَتْ لِلنّاسِ:

The woman left her water jar and went into the town. She said to the men,

29 « تَعالَوا لِتَرَوا إنساناً أخبَرَنِي بِكُلِّ ما فَعَلْتُ فِي حَياتِي! أيُمْكِنُ أنْ يَكُونَ هُوَ المَسِيْحَ؟»

“Come and see a Man Who told me everything I ever did! Can this be the Christ?”

30 ف َتَرَكُوا بَلْدَتَهُمْ وَذَهَبُوا إلَيْهِ.

They went out of town and came to Him. Jesus Tells Them of a New Kind of Food

31 و َفِي ذَلِكَ الوَقتِ، كانَ تَلامِيْذُهُ يَحُثُّونَهُ وَيَقولونَ: «يا مُعَلِّمُ، كُلْ شَيْئاً!»

During this time His followers were saying to Him, “Teacher, eat something.”

32 ل َكِنَّهُ قالَ لَهُمْ: «عِندِي طَعامٌ لِآكُلَهُ لا تَعْرِفُونَ عَنْهُ شَيْئاً.»

He said, “I have food to eat that you do not know of.”

33 ف َأخَذَ تَلامِيْذُهُ يَتَساءَلُونَ فِيْما بَيْنَهُمْ: «أيُمْكِنُ أنْ يَكُونَ أحَدٌ قَدْ أحضَرَ إلَيْهِ طَعاماً؟»

The followers said to each other, “Has someone taken food to Him?”

34 ف َقالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «طَعامِي هُوَ تَنفِيْذُ إرادَةِ ذاكَ الَّذِي أرسَلَنِي، وَإتمامُ العَمَلِ الَّذِي كَلَّفَنِي بِعَمَلِهِ.

Jesus said, “My food is to do what God wants Me to do and to finish His work.

35 أ نتُمْ تَقُولُونَ حِيْنَ تَزْرَعُونَ: ‹سَيَأْتِي الحَصادُ بَعْدَ أربَعَةِ أشْهُرٍ.› وَأنا أقُولُ لَكُمْ: افْتَحُوا عُيُونَكُمْ وَانظُرُوا إلَى الحُقُولِ. إنَّها الآنَ ناضِجَةٌ لِلحَصادِ.

Do you not say, ‘It is four months yet until the time to gather grain’? Listen! I say to you, open your eyes and look at the fields. They are white now and waiting for the grain to be gathered in.

36 و َالحاصِدُ يَأْخُذُ أجرَهُ وَيَجْمَعُ مَحصُولاً لِلحَياةِ الأبَدِيَّةِ. وَهَكَذا يَفْرَحُ الزّارِعُ وَالحاصِدُ مَعاً.

The one who gathers gets his pay. He gathers fruit that lasts forever. The one who plants and the one who gathers will have joy together.

37 و َيَصْدُقُ المَثَلُ القائِلُ: ‹واحِدٌ يَزْرَعُ وَآخَرُ يَحصُدُ.›

These words are true, ‘One man plants and another man gathers.’

38 و َأنا أرسَلْتُكُمْ لِتَحصُدُوا مَحصُولاً لَمْ تَتعَبُوا فِيْهِ. فَقَدْ تَعِبَ فِيْهِ آخَرُونَ، وَانتَفَعْتُمْ أنتُمْ مِنْ عَمَلِهِمْ.»

I sent you to gather where you have not planted. Others have planted and you have come along to gather in their fruit.” The People of Samaria Believe in Jesus

39 ف َآمَنَ بِهِ سامِرِيُّونَ كَثِيْرُونَ مِنْ تِلْكَ البَلْدَةِ بِسَبَبِ ما قالَتْهُ المَرأةُ فِي شَهادَتِها: «أخبَرَنِي بِكُلِّ ما فَعَلْتُ فِي حَياتِي!»

Many people in that town of Samaria believed in Jesus because of what the woman said about Him. She said, “He told me everything I ever did.”

40 و َعِندَما جاءَ إلَيْهِ السّامِرِيُّونَ، طَلَبُوا إليهِ أنْ يَبْقَى مَعَهُمْ، فَأقامَ هُناكَ يَوْمَيْنِ.

So the people of Samaria came to Him. They asked Him to stay with them. Jesus stayed there two days.

41 ف َتَكاثَرَ جِدّاً عَدَدُ الَّذِيْنَ آمَنُوا بِهِ بِسَبَبِ كَلامِهِ.

Many more people believed because of what He said.

42 و َقالُوا لِلمَرأةِ: «لَمْ نَعُدْ نُؤْمِنُ بِناءً عَلَى كَلامِكِ، لِأنَّنا سَمِعْناهُ بِأنفُسِنا. وَنَحنُ نَعلَمُ الآنَ أنَّ هَذا الإنسانَ هُوَ حَقّاً مُخَلِّصُ العالَمِ.» يَسُوعُ يَشْفِي ابْنَ أحَدِ رِجالِ المَلِك

They said to the woman, “Now we believe! It is no longer because of what you said about Jesus but we have heard Him ourselves. We know, for sure, that He is the Christ, the One Who saves men of this world from the punishment of their sins.” Jesus Goes to Galilee

43 و َلَمّا انقَضَى اليَوْمانِ، غادَرَ يَسُوعُ إقلِيْمَ السّامِرَةِ وَذَهَبَ إلَى إقلِيْمِ الجَلِيلِ.

Two days later He went from there and came to the country of Galilee.

44 و َكانَ يَسُوعُ نَفْسُهُ قَدْ أقَرَّ بِأنَّهُ لا كَرامَةَ لِنَبِيٍّ فِي وَطَنِهِ.

Jesus Himself said that no one who speaks for God is respected in his own country.

45 ل َكِنَّ أهلَ الجَلِيلِ كانُوا قَدْ ذَهَبُوا إلَى مَدينَةِ القُدْسِ وَرَأَوْا كُلَّ ما فَعَلَهُ يَسُوعُ فِي عِيْدِ الفِصْحِ. لِذَلِكَ فَقَدْ رَحَّبُوا بِهِ عِنْدَما جاءَ إلَى الجَلِيلِ.

When He came to Galilee, the people there were glad. They had seen all the things He did in Jerusalem. It was at the time of the special religious gathering to remember how the Jews left Egypt. They had been there also. Jesus Heals the Dying Boy in Capernaum

46 و َمَرَّةً أُخْرَى ذَهَبَ يَسُوعُ إلَى بَلْدَةِ قانا فِي الجَلِيلِ حَيْثُ كانَ قَدْ حَوَّلَ الماءَ إلَى نَبيذٍ. وَكانَ فِي مَدِيْنَةِ كَفْرِناحُومَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ حاشِيَةِ المَلِكِ، وَكانَ ابْنُهُ مَرِيْضاً.

Jesus came again to the town of Cana of Galilee where He had made water into wine. A man who worked with the king had a son who was sick in the city of Capernaum.

47 ف َلَمّا سَمِعَ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ أنَّ يَسُوعَ قَدْ أتَى إلَى الجَلِيلِ مِنَ اليَهُودِيَّةِ، جاءَ إلَيْهِ يَرْجُوهُ أنْ يَذْهَبَ إلَى كَفْرِناحُومَ وَيَشْفِي ابْنَهُ الَّذِي أوشَكَ أنْ يَمُوتَ.

This man went to Jesus. He had heard that Jesus had come from the country of Judea to Galilee. The man asked Jesus if He would go to Capernaum and heal his son who was dying.

48 ف َقالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «أنتُمْ لا تُؤْمِنُونَ ما لَمْ تَرَوا بُرْهانَ المُعجِزاتِ وَالعَجائِبَ!»

Then Jesus said to him, “Unless you see special things and powerful works done, you will not believe.”

49 ف َقالَ الرَّجُلُ لِيَسُوعَ: «أرجُوكَ تَعالَ يا سَيِّدُ قَبلَ أنْ يَمُوتَ وَلَدِي!»

The man said to Him, “Sir, come with me before my son dies.”

50 ف َقالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «اذْهَبْ إلَى بَيْتِكَ. ابْنُكَ سَيَعِيْشُ.» فَآمَنَ الرَّجُلُ بِما قالَهُ لَهُ يَسُوعُ وَذَهَبَ.

Jesus said to him, “Go your way. Your son will live.” The man put his trust in what Jesus said and left.

51 و َبَيْنَما كانَ عائِداً إلَى بَيْتِهِ، لاقاهُ خُدّامُهُ وَقالُوا لَهُ إنَّ ابْنَهُ مُعافَى.

As he was on his way home, his servants met him. They said to him, “Your son is living!”

52 ف َاسْتَفْسَرَ مِنْهُمْ عَنِ الوَقْتِ الَّذِي بَدَأ فِيْهِ ابْنُهُ يَتَعافَى، فَقالُوا: «زالَتْ حَرارَتُهُ فِي السّاعَةِ الواحِدَةِ مِنْ بَعْدِ ظُهْرِ الأمْسِ.»

He asked them what time his boy began to get well. They said to him, “Yesterday at one o’clock the sickness left.”

53 ف َأدرَكَ أبُو الطِّفلِ أنَّ ذَلِكَ هُوَ الوَقْتُ نَفْسُهُ الَّذِي قالَ لَهُ فِيْهِ يَسُوعَ: «ابْنُكَ سَيَعِيْشُ.» فَآمَنَ هُوَ وَعائِلَتُهُ كُلُّها.

The father knew it was the time Jesus had said to him, “Your son will live.” He and everyone in his house put their trust in Jesus.

54 ك انَتْ هَذِهِ المُعجِزَةَ الثّانِيَةَ الَّتِي صَنَعَها يَسُوعُ بَعْدَ مَجِيئِهِ مِنَ اليَهُودِيَّةِ إلَى الجَلِيلِ.

This was the second powerful work that Jesus did after He came from the country of Judea to the country of Galilee.
