1 T hen He went out from there and came to His own country, and His disciples followed Him.

ثُمَّ غادَرَ يَسُوعُ ذَلِكَ المَكانَ وَعادَ إلَى بَلْدَتِهِ وَتَبِعَهُ تَلامِيذُهُ.

2 A nd when the Sabbath had come, He began to teach in the synagogue. And many hearing Him were astonished, saying, “Where did this Man get these things? And what wisdom is this which is given to Him, that such mighty works are performed by His hands!

وَلَمّا جاءَ يَومُ السَّبْتِ ابتَدَأ يُعَلِّمُ فِي المَجمَعِ. فَانْدَهَشَ كَثيرونَ عِنْدَما سَمِعُوهُ، وَقالُوا: «مِنْ أينَ جاءَ هَذا الرَّجُلُ بِكُلِّ هَذا؟ وَما هَذِهِ الحِكْمَةُ المُعطاةُ لَهُ، وَما هَذِهِ المُعجِزاتُ الَّتي يَصنَعُها؟

3 I s this not the carpenter, the Son of Mary, and brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? And are not His sisters here with us?” So they were offended at Him.

ألَيسَ هُوَ النَّجّارَ ابنَ مَريَمَ؟ وَأخا يَعقُوبَ وَيُوسِي وَيَهُوذا وَسِمْعانَ؟ ألا تُقيمُ أخَواتُهُ بَينَنا؟» فَكانَ ذَلِكَ عائِقاً يَمنَعُهُمْ مِنْ قُبُولِهِ.

4 B ut Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own country, among his own relatives, and in his own house.”

أمّا يَسُوعُ فَقالَ لَهُمْ: «لا يَكُونُ نَبِيٌّ بِلا كَرامَةٍ إلّا فِي وَطَنِهِ وَبَينَ أقارِبِهِ وَفِي بَيتِهِ!»

5 N ow He could do no mighty work there, except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them.

وَلَمْ يَتَمَكَّنْ مِنْ أنْ يَصنَعَ أيَّةَ مُعجِزَةٍ هَناكَ. لَكِنَّهُ وَضَعَ يَدَيهِ عَلَى بَعضِ المَرضَى فَشَفاهُمْ.

6 A nd He marveled because of their unbelief. Then He went about the villages in a circuit, teaching. Sending Out the Twelve

وَتَعَجَّبَ مِنْ عَدَمِ إيمانِهِمْ. ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ يَتَجَوَّلُ فِي القُرَى المُحِيطَةِ وَيُعَلِّمُ النّاسَ. يَسُوعُ يُرسِلُ الاثني عَشَر

7 A nd He called the twelve to Himself, and began to send them out two by two, and gave them power over unclean spirits.

وَاسْتَدْعَى يَسُوعُ الاثنَي عَشَرَ، وَابتَدَأ يُرسِلُهُمُ اثْنَينِ اثْنَينِ بَعدَ أنْ أعطاهُمْ سُلْطاناً عَلَى الأرواحِ النَّجِسَةِ.

8 H e commanded them to take nothing for the journey except a staff—no bag, no bread, no copper in their money belts—

وَأوصاهُمْ بِأنْ لا يَحمِلُوا مَعَهُمْ شَيئاً لِلطَّرِيقِ: لا خُبْزاً وَلا حَقيبَةً وَلا نُقُوداً فِي أحزِمَتِهِمْ، بَلْ أنْ يَحمِلُوا عُكّازاً فَقَطْ.

9 b ut to wear sandals, and not to put on two tunics.

فَكانَ عَلَيهِمْ أنْ يَنتَعِلُوا أحْذِيَتَهُمْ وَأنْ يَكْتَفُوا بِالثِّيابِ الَّتِي يَلبَسُونَها.

10 A lso He said to them, “In whatever place you enter a house, stay there till you depart from that place.

وَقالَ لَهُمْ: «إنْ دَخَلْتُمْ إلَى بَيتٍ، فَأقِيمُوا فِيهِ إلَىْ أنْ تُغادِرُوا المَدِينَةَ.»

11 A nd whoever will not receive you nor hear you, when you depart from there, shake off the dust under your feet as a testimony against them. Assuredly, I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!”

وَإنْ جِئْتُمْ إلَى مَدِينَةٍ وَلَمْ تُرَحِّبْ بِكُمْ، وَلَمْ تَسمَعْ رِسالَتَكُمْ، فَانفُضُوا، عِنْدَ خُرُوجِكُمْ، الغُبارَ الَّذي عَلِقَ بِأقدامِكُمْ كَشَهادَةٍ ضِدَّ تِلْكَ المَدينَةِ.»

12 S o they went out and preached that people should repent.

فَخَرَجُوا يُبَشِّرونَ النّاسَ وَيَدْعونَهُمْ إلَى التَّوبَةِ.

13 A nd they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many who were sick, and healed them. John the Baptist Beheaded

وَأخرَجُوا الكَثِيرَ مِنَ الأرواحِ الشِّرِّيرَةِ. وَمَسَحُوا بِزَيتِ الزَّيتُونِ كَثيرينَ مِنَ المَرضَى فَشَفُوهُمْ. مَنْ هُوَ يَسوعُ؟

14 N ow King Herod heard of Him, for His name had become well known. And he said, “John the Baptist is risen from the dead, and therefore these powers are at work in him.”

وَسَمِعَ المَلِكُ هِيرُودُسَ عَنْ يَسُوعَ، لِأنَّ اسْمَهُ صارَ مَعرُوفاً. وَكانَ بَعضُ النّاسِ يَقُولُونَ إنَّ يُوحَنّا المَعمَدانَ قامَ مِنَ المَوتِ، وَلِهَذا تُجرَى المُعجِزاتُ بِواسِطَتِهِ!»

15 O thers said, “It is Elijah.” And others said, “It is the Prophet, or like one of the prophets.”

وَآخَرُونَ كانوا يَقُولُونَ إنَّهُ إيلِيّا، وَغَيرُهُمْ قالُوا إنَّهُ نَبِيٌّ كَالأنبِياءِ القُدامَى.

16 B ut when Herod heard, he said, “This is John, whom I beheaded; he has been raised from the dead!”

وَلَكِنْ عِندَما سَمِعَ هِيرُودُسَ قالَ: «إنَّهُ يُوحَنّا الَّذِي قَطَعْتُ رَأسَهُ، وَقَدْ قامَ مِنَ المَوتِ!» مَقْتِلُ يُوحَنّا المَعمَدان

17 F or Herod himself had sent and laid hold of John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife; for he had married her.

فَهِيرُودُسُ هُوَ الَّذِي أمَرَ بِالقَبْضِ عَلَى يُوحَنّا وَتَقييدِهِ فِي السِّجنِ. وَهَذا بِسَبَبِ هِيرُودِيّا زَوجَةِ أخِيهِ فِيلِبُّسَ، الَّتي تَزَوَّجَها هُوَ.

18 B ecause John had said to Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.”

لأنَّ يُوحَنّا قالَ لِهِيرُودُسَ: «لا يَحِقُّ لَكَ أنْ تَأخُذَ زَوجَةَ أخِيكَ.»

19 T herefore Herodias held it against him and wanted to kill him, but she could not;

وَكانَتْ هِيرُودِيّا تُبْغِضُ يُوحَنّا، وَأرادَتْ أنْ تَقتُلَهُ، لَكِنَّها لَمْ تَتَمَكَّنْ مِنْ ذَلِكَ،

20 f or Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just and holy man, and he protected him. And when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly.

لِأنَّ هِيرُودُسَ كانَ يَخافُ مِنْ يُوحَنّا. وَقَدْ حَماهُ مِنَ المَوتِ لأنَّهُ يَعرِفُ أنَّهُ رَجُلٌ صالِحٌ وَمُقَدَّسٌ. وَمَعَ أنّهُ كانَ يَنزَعِجُ مِنْ كَلامِ يُوحَنّا، إلّا أنَّهُ أحَبَّ الاستِماعَ إلَيهِ.

21 T hen an opportune day came when Herod on his birthday gave a feast for his nobles, the high officers, and the chief men of Galilee.

وَجاءَتْ فُرصَةُ هِيرُودِيّا. فَفِي عِيدِ مِيلادِ هِيرُودُسَ، دَعا إلَى حَفلَتِهِ أبرَزَ رِجالِهِ وَقادَةَ جَيشِهِ وَرُؤَساءَ الشَّعبِ فِي إقليمِ الجَلِيلِ.

22 A nd when Herodias’ daughter herself came in and danced, and pleased Herod and those who sat with him, the king said to the girl, “Ask me whatever you want, and I will give it to you.”

فَرَقَصَتِ ابْنَةُ هِيرُودِيّا فِي الحَفلَةِ، وَأسعَدَتْ هِيرُودُسَ وَضُيُوفَهُ. فَقالَ المَلِكُ لِلفَتاةِ: «اطلُبِي أيَّ شَيءٍ تُرِيدِينَهُ، وَسَيَكُونُ لَكِ.»

23 H e also swore to her, “Whatever you ask me, I will give you, up to half my kingdom.”

وَأقسَمَ لَها فَقالَ: «سَأُعطِيكِ أيَّ شَيءٍ، حَتَّى لَو طَلَبْتِ نِصْفَ مَملَكَتِي.»

24 S o she went out and said to her mother, “What shall I ask?” And she said, “The head of John the Baptist!”

فَذَهَبَتِ الفَتاةُ إلَى أُمِّها وَسَألَتْها: «ماذا أطلُبُ؟» فَقالَتْ لَها أُمُّها: «اطلُبِي رَأسَ يُوحَنّا المَعمَدانِ.»

25 I mmediately she came in with haste to the king and asked, saying, “I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter.”

فَجاءَتِ الفَتاةُ إلَى المَلِكِ وَقالَتْ لَهُ: «أُرِيدُ أنْ تُعطِيَنِي الآنَ رَأسَ يُوحَنّا المَعمَدانِ عَلَى طَبَقٍ.»

26 A nd the king was exceedingly sorry; yet, because of the oaths and because of those who sat with him, he did not want to refuse her.

فَحَزِنَ المَلِكُ جِدّاً، لَكِنَّهُ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ أنْ يَرْفُضَ طَلَبَها بِسَبَبِ قَسَمِهِ، وَاحْتِراماً لِضُيُوفِهِ.

27 I mmediately the king sent an executioner and commanded his head to be brought. And he went and beheaded him in prison,

فَأرْسَلَ أحَدَ الحُرّاسِ فِي الحالِ، وَأمَرَهُ بِأنْ يَعُودَ بِرَأسِ يُوحَنّا. فَذَهَبَ الحارِسُ إلَى السِّجْنِ، وَقَطَعَ رَأسَ يُوحَنّا،

28 b rought his head on a platter, and gave it to the girl; and the girl gave it to her mother.

وَأحضَرَ الرَأسَ عَلَى طَبَقٍ أعطاهُ لِلفَتاةِ، فَأعطَتْهُ لِأُمِّها.

29 W hen his disciples heard of it, they came and took away his corpse and laid it in a tomb. Feeding the Five Thousand

وَلَمّا عَرَفَ تَلامِيذُهُ بِالأمْرِ، جاءُوا وَأخَذُوا جَسَدَهُ وَدَفَنوهُ. يَسُوعُ يُطعِمُ خَمسَةَ الآفِ شَخصٍ

30 T hen the apostles gathered to Jesus and told Him all things, both what they had done and what they had taught.

وَاجتَمَعَ الرُّسُلُ حَولَ يَسُوعَ وَأخبَرُوهُ عَنْ كُلِّ ما عَمِلُوهُ وَعَلَّموهُ.

31 A nd He said to them, “Come aside by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while.” For there were many coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat.

فَقالَ لَهُمْ: «تَعالَوا لِنَذْهَبَ وَحدَنا إلَى مَكانٍ مُنْعَزِلٍ، وَنَستَرِيحَ قَلِيلاً.» هَذا لِأنَّ كَثِيرِينَ كانُوا يَأتُونَ وَيَذْهَبُونَ، فَلَمْ تَسنَحْ لَهُمْ فُرصَةٌ حَتَّى لِلأكلِ.

32 S o they departed to a deserted place in the boat by themselves.

فَذَهَبُوا فِي القارِبِ إلَى مَكانٍ مُنْعَزِلٍ وَحْدَهُمْ.

33 B ut the multitudes saw them departing, and many knew Him and ran there on foot from all the cities. They arrived before them and came together to Him.

وَلَكِنَّ النّاسَ رَأوهُمْ يُغادِرُونَ المَكانَ وَعَرَفُوا وُجهَتَهُمْ، فَسَبَقُوهُمْ إلَى هُناكَ مَشْياً عَلَى الأقدامِ مِنْ كُلِّ القُرَى.

34 A nd Jesus, when He came out, saw a great multitude and was moved with compassion for them, because they were like sheep not having a shepherd. So He began to teach them many things.

وَعِنْدَ نُزُولِهِ إلَى الشّاطِئِ، رَأى يَسُوعُ جَمْعاً كَبِيراً، فَتَحَنَّنَ عَلَيهُمْ لِأنَّهُمْ كانُوا كَخِرافٍ لا راعِيَ لَها. فَابْتَدَأ يُعَلِّمُهُمْ أُمُوراً كَثِيرَةً.

35 W hen the day was now far spent, His disciples came to Him and said, “This is a deserted place, and already the hour is late.

وَبَعْدَ وَقتٍ طَويلٍ، جاءَ إلَيهِ تَلامِيذُهُ وَقالُوا: «هَذا مَكانٌ مُقفِرٌ، وَقَدْ تَأخَّرَ الوَقتُ.

36 S end them away, that they may go into the surrounding country and villages and buy themselves bread; for they have nothing to eat.”

اصْرِفِ النّاسَ لِكَي يَذهَبُوا إلَى القُرَى وَالمَزارِعِ المُجاوِرَةِ وَيَشتَرُوا شَيئاً يَأكُلُونَهُ.»

37 B ut He answered and said to them, “You give them something to eat.” And they said to Him, “Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread and give them something to eat?”

فَأجابَهُمْ: «أعطُوهُمْ أنتُمْ شَيئاً لِيَأكُلُوا.» فَقالُوا لَهُ: «أنَذهَبُ وَنَشتَرِي خُبْزاً بِأجْرِ سَنَةٍ مِنَ العَمَلِ وَنُعطِيهِمْ؟»

38 B ut He said to them, “How many loaves do you have? Go and see.” And when they found out they said, “Five, and two fish.”

فَقالَ: «اذهَبُوا وَانظُرُوا كَمْ رَغِيفاً لَدَيكُمْ؟» فَلَمّا عَرَفُوا قالُوا: «لَدَينا خَمْسَةُ أرغِفَةٍ وَسَمَكَتانِ.»

39 T hen He commanded them to make them all sit down in groups on the green grass.

فَأمَرَهُمْ يَسُوعُ أنْ يُجلِسُوا الجَمِيعَ فِي مَجمُوعاتٍ عَلَى العُشْبِ الأخضَرِ.

40 S o they sat down in ranks, in hundreds and in fifties.

فَجَلَسُوا فِي مَجمُوعاتٍ بَعضُها مِنْ مِئَةٍ شَخصٍ وَبَعضُها مِنْ خَمسِينَ شَخصاً.

41 A nd when He had taken the five loaves and the two fish, He looked up to heaven, blessed and broke the loaves, and gave them to His disciples to set before them; and the two fish He divided among them all.

فَأخَذَ يَسُوعُ أرغِفَةَ الخُبزِ الخَمسَةَ وَالسَّمَكَتِيْنِ، وَشَكَرَ اللهَ رافِعاً عَينَيهِ إلَى السَّماءِ. ثُمَّ قَسَّمَ الأرغِفَةَ وَأعطاها لِتَلامِيذِهِ لِيُوَزِّعُوها عَلَى النّاسِ. كَما قَسَّمَ السَّمَكَتَينِ لِلجَمِيعِ.

42 S o they all ate and were filled.

فَأكَلُوا وَشَبِعُوا جَمِيعاً.

43 A nd they took up twelve baskets full of fragments and of the fish.

وَرَفَعُوا اثنَتي عَشْرَةَ سَلَّةً مَملوءَةً بِكِسَرِ الخُبْزِ وَبَقايا السَّمَكِ.

44 N ow those who had eaten the loaves were about five thousand men. Jesus Walks on the Sea

وَكانَ عَدَدُ الرِّجالِ الَّذِينَ أكَلُوا خَمَسَةَ آلافِ. يَسُوعُ يَمشِي عَلَى الماء

45 I mmediately He made His disciples get into the boat and go before Him to the other side, to Bethsaida, while He sent the multitude away.

بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ طَلَبَ يَسُوعُ مِنْ تَلامِيذِهُ أنْ يَركَبوا القارِبَ وَيَسبِقُوهُ إلَى بَيتِ صَيدا عَلَىْ الضِّفَّةِ الأُخرَى، بَينَما يَصرِفُ هُوَ الجَمْعَ.

46 A nd when He had sent them away, He departed to the mountain to pray.

وَبَعدَ أنْ وَدَّعَ النّاسَ، ذَهَبَ إلَى الجَبَلِ لِيُصَلِّي.

47 N ow when evening came, the boat was in the middle of the sea; and He was alone on the land.

وَعِندَما حَلَّ المَساءُ، كانَ القارِبُ فِي وَسَطِ البُحَيرَةِ، وَكانَ يَسُوعُ عَلَى البَرِّ وَحدَهُ.

48 T hen He saw them straining at rowing, for the wind was against them. Now about the fourth watch of the night He came to them, walking on the sea, and would have passed them by.

فَرَآهُمْ يَسُوعُ يُواجِهُونَ صُعُوبَةً فِي التَّجدِيفِ لِأنَّ الرِّيحَ كانَتْ مُعاكِسَةً لاتِّجاهِ القارِبِ. وَقَبلَ الفَجرِ بِقَلِيلٍ، جاءَ يَسُوعُ إلَيْهِمْ ماشِياً عَلَى البُحَيرَةِ. وَأرادَ أنْ يَتَجاوَزَهُمْ.

49 A nd when they saw Him walking on the sea, they supposed it was a ghost, and cried out;

فَلَمّا رَأوهُ ماشِياً عَلَى المِياهِ ظَنُّوا أنَّهُ شَبَحٌ، فَصَرَخُوا،

50 f or they all saw Him and were troubled. But immediately He talked with them and said to them, “Be of good cheer! It is I; do not be afraid.”

لِأنَّهُمْ جَمِيعاً رَأوهُ وَخافُوا. لَكِنَّهُ قالَ لَهُمْ: «تَشَجَّعُوا، إنَّهُ أنا، لا تَخافُوا.»

51 T hen He went up into the boat to them, and the wind ceased. And they were greatly amazed in themselves beyond measure, and marveled.

ثُمَّ صَعِدَ مَعَهُمْ فِي القارِبِ، فَهَدَأتِ الرِّيحُ، وَكانُوا مُندَهِشِينَ تَماماً،

52 F or they had not understood about the loaves, because their heart was hardened. Many Touch Him and Are Made Well

لِأنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَفهَمُوا مِنْ خِلالِ مُعجِزَةِ الأرغِفَةِ، لِأنَّ قُلُوبَهُمْ كانَتْ قاسِيَةً. يَسُوعُ يَشفِي كَثِيرِين

53 W hen they had crossed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret and anchored there.

وَلَمّا عَبَرُوا البُحَيرَةَ، وَصَلُوا إلَى مِنْطَقَةِ جَنِّيسارَتَ، وَرَبَطُوا قارِبَهُمْ.

54 A nd when they came out of the boat, immediately the people recognized Him,

وَلَمّا خَرَجُوا مِنَ القارِبِ، عَرَفَ النّاسُ يَسُوعَ.

55 r an through that whole surrounding region, and began to carry about on beds those who were sick to wherever they heard He was.

فَانْتَشَرُوا فِيْ تِلْكَ المِنطَقَةِ كُلِّها، وَكانُوا يَحمِلُونَ المَرضَى عَلَى أسِرَّةٍ إلَى كُلِّ مَكانٍ يَسمَعُونَ أنَّ يَسُوعَ فِيهِ.

56 W herever He entered, into villages, cities, or the country, they laid the sick in the marketplaces, and begged Him that they might just touch the hem of His garment. And as many as touched Him were made well.

وَحَيثُما كانَ يَذهَبُ: إلَى القُرَى وَالبَلْداتِ وَالمَزارِعِ، كانَ النّاسُ يَضَعُونَ مَرضاهُمْ فِي الأماكِنِ العامَّةِ، وَيَتَوَسَّلُونَ إلَيهِ أنْ يَسمَحَ لَهُمْ بِأنْ يَلمِسُوا وَلَو حَتَّى طَرَفَ ثَوبِهِ. وَكُلُّ الَّذِينَ لَمَسُوهُ نالُوا الشِّفاءَ.
