1 J esus went from the house of Jairus and came to His home town. His followers came after Him.

ثُمَّ غادَرَ يَسُوعُ ذَلِكَ المَكانَ وَعادَ إلَى بَلْدَتِهِ وَتَبِعَهُ تَلامِيذُهُ.

2 O n the Day of Rest He began to teach in the Jewish place of worship. Many people heard Him. They were surprised and wondered, saying, “Where did this Man get all this? What wisdom is this that has been given to Him? How can He do these powerful works with 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 He not a Man Who makes things from wood? Is He not the Son of Mary and the brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? Do not His sisters live here with us?” The people were ashamed of Him and turned away from Him.

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

4 J esus said to them, “One who speaks for God is respected everywhere but in his own country and among his own family and in his own house.”

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

5 S o Jesus could do no powerful works there. But He did put 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 H e wondered because they had no faith. But He went around to the towns and taught as He went. Jesus Calls Twelve Followers and Sends Them Out

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

7 J esus called the twelve followers to Him and began to send them out two by two. He gave them power over demons.

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

8 H e told them to take nothing along with them but a walking stick. They were not to take a bag or food or money in their belts.

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

9 T hey were to wear shoes. They were not to take two coats.

فَكانَ عَلَيهِمْ أنْ يَنتَعِلُوا أحْذِيَتَهُمْ وَأنْ يَكْتَفُوا بِالثِّيابِ الَّتِي يَلبَسُونَها.

10 H e said to them, “Whatever house you go into, stay there until you leave that town.

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

11 W hoever does not take you in or listen to you, when you leave there, shake the dust off your feet. By doing that, you will speak against them. For sure, I tell you, it will be easier for the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah on the day men stand before God and are judged 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 T hen they left. They preached that men should be sorry for their sins and turn from them.

فَخَرَجُوا يُبَشِّرونَ النّاسَ وَيَدْعونَهُمْ إلَى التَّوبَةِ.

13 T hey put out many demons. They poured oil on many people that were sick and healed them. John the Baptist Is Put in Prison

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

14 K ing Herod heard about Jesus because everyone was talking about Him. Some people said, “John the Baptist has been raised from the dead. That is why he is doing such powerful works.”

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 ther people said, “He is Elijah.” Others said, “He is one who speaks for God like one of the early preachers.”

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

16 W hen Herod heard this, he said, “It is John the Baptist, whose head I cut off. 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 had sent men to take John and put him into prison. He did this because of his wife, Herodias. She had been the wife of his brother Philip.

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

18 J ohn the Baptist had said to Herod, “It is wrong for you to have your brother’s wife.”

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

19 H erodias became angry with him. She wanted to have John the Baptist killed but she could not.

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

20 H erod was afraid of John. He knew he was a good man and right with God, and he kept John from being hurt or killed. He liked to listen to John preach. But when he did, he became troubled. John the Baptist Is Killed

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 Herodias found a way to have John killed. Herod gave a big supper on his birthday. He asked the leaders of the country and army captains and the leaders of Galilee to come.

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

22 T he daughter of Herodias came in and danced before them. This made Herod and his friends happy. The king said to the girl, “Ask me for 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 T hen he made a promise to her, “Whatever you ask for, I will give it to you. I will give you even half of my nation.”

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

24 S he went to her mother and asked, “What should I ask for?” The mother answered, “I want the head of John the Baptist.”

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

25 A t once the girl went to Herod. She said, “I want you to give me the head of John the Baptist on a plate now.”

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

26 H erod was very sorry. He had to do it because of his promise and because of those who ate with him.

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

27 A t once he sent one of his soldiers and told him to bring the head of John the Baptist. The soldier went to the prison and cut off John’s head.

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

28 H e took John’s head in on a plate and gave it to the girl. The girl gave it to her mother.

وَأحضَرَ الرَأسَ عَلَى طَبَقٍ أعطاهُ لِلفَتاةِ، فَأعطَتْهُ لِأُمِّها.

29 J ohn’s followers heard this. They went and took his body and buried it. The Feeding of the Five Thousand

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

30 T he followers of Jesus came back to Him. They told Jesus all they had done and taught.

وَاجتَمَعَ الرُّسُلُ حَولَ يَسُوعَ وَأخبَرُوهُ عَنْ كُلِّ ما عَمِلُوهُ وَعَلَّموهُ.

31 H e said to them, “Come away from the people. Be by yourselves and rest.” There were many people coming and going. They had had no time even 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 T hey went by themselves in a boat to a desert.

فَذَهَبُوا فِي القارِبِ إلَى مَكانٍ مُنْعَزِلٍ وَحْدَهُمْ.

33 M any people saw them leave and knew who they were. People ran fast from all the cities and got there first.

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

34 W hen Jesus got out of the boat, He saw many people gathered together. He had loving-pity for them. They were like sheep without a shepherd. 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 T he day was almost gone. The followers of Jesus came to Him. They said, “This is a desert. It is getting late.

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

36 T ell the people to go to the towns and villages and buy food for themselves.”

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

37 H e said to them, “Give them something to eat.” They said to Him, “Are we to go and buy many loaves of bread and give it to them?”

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

38 H e said to them, “How many loaves of bread do you have here? Go and see.” When they knew, they said, “Five loaves of bread and two fish.”

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

39 T hen He told them to have all the people sit down together in groups on the green grass.

فَأمَرَهُمْ يَسُوعُ أنْ يُجلِسُوا الجَمِيعَ فِي مَجمُوعاتٍ عَلَى العُشْبِ الأخضَرِ.

40 T hey sat down in groups of fifty people and in groups of one hundred people.

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

41 J esus took the five loaves of bread and two fish. He looked up to heaven and gave thanks. He broke the loaves in pieces and gave them to the followers to set before the people. He divided the two fish 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 T hey all ate and were filled.

فَأكَلُوا وَشَبِعُوا جَمِيعاً.

43 A fter that the followers picked up twelve baskets full of pieces of bread and fish.

وَرَفَعُوا اثنَتي عَشْرَةَ سَلَّةً مَملوءَةً بِكِسَرِ الخُبْزِ وَبَقايا السَّمَكِ.

44 A bout five thousand men ate the bread. Jesus Walks On The Water

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

45 A t once Jesus had His followers get into the boat and go ahead of Him to the other side to the town of Bethsaida. He sent the people away.

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

46 W hen they were all gone, He went up to the mountain to pray.

وَبَعدَ أنْ وَدَّعَ النّاسَ، ذَهَبَ إلَى الجَبَلِ لِيُصَلِّي.

47 I t was evening. The boat was half-way across the sea. Jesus was alone on the land.

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

48 H e saw His followers were in trouble. The wind was against them. They were working very hard rowing the boat. About three o’clock in the morning Jesus came to them walking on the sea. He would have gone past them.

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 W hen the followers saw Him walking on the water, they thought it was a spirit and cried out with fear.

فَلَمّا رَأوهُ ماشِياً عَلَى المِياهِ ظَنُّوا أنَّهُ شَبَحٌ، فَصَرَخُوا،

50 F or they all saw Him and were afraid. At once Jesus talked to them. He said, “Take hope. It is I, do not be afraid.”

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

51 H e came over to them and got into the boat. The wind stopped. They were very much surprised and wondered about it.

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

52 T hey had not learned what they should have learned from the loaves because their hearts were hard. People Are Healed at Gennesaret

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

53 T hen they crossed the sea and came to the land of Gennesaret and went to shore.

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

54 W hen Jesus got out of the boat, the people knew Him at once.

وَلَمّا خَرَجُوا مِنَ القارِبِ، عَرَفَ النّاسُ يَسُوعَ.

55 T hey ran through all the country bringing people who were sick on their beds to Jesus.

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

56 W herever He went, they would lay the sick people in the streets in the center of town where people gather. They begged Him that they might touch the bottom of His coat. Everyone who did was healed. This happened in the towns and in the cities and in the country where He went.

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.
