1 A fter he had finished speaking in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum.

وَعِندَما أنهَى يَسُوعُ ما أرادَ أنْ يَقُولَهُ لِلنّاسِ، ذَهَبَ إلَى كَفرِناحُومَ.

2 A certain centurion’s servant, who was dear to him, was sick and at the point of death.

وَكانَ هُناكَ ضابِطٌ رُومانِيٌّ لَهُ خادِمٌ مَرِيضٌ مُوشِكٌ عَلَى المَوتِ. وَكانَ هَذا الخادِمُ عَزيزاً عِندَهُ.

3 W hen he heard about Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, asking him to come and save his servant.

فَلَمّا سَمِعَ الضّابِطُ عَنْ يَسُوعَ، أرسَلَ إلَيهِ بَعضَ شُيُوخِ اليَهُودِ، طالِباً إلَيهِ أنْ يَأْتِيَ وَيُنقِذَ حَياةَ خادِمِهِ.

4 W hen they came to Jesus, they begged him earnestly, saying, “He is worthy for you to do this for him,

فَلَمّا جاءُوا إلَى يَسُوعَ تَوَسَّلُوا إلَيهِ بِإلحاحٍ وَقالوا: «إنَّهُ يَستَحِقُّ أنْ تَفعَلَ لَهُ هَذا.

5 f or he loves our nation, and he built our synagogue for us.”

فَهُوَ يُحِبُّ شَعبَنا، وَهُوَ الَّذِي بَنَى لَنا مَجمَعَنا.»

6 J esus went with them. When he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him, “Lord, don’t trouble yourself, for I am not worthy for you to come under my roof.

فَذَهَبَ يَسُوعُ مَعَهُمْ. وَلَمّا صارَ يَسُوعُ قَرِيباً مِنَ البَيتِ، أرسَلَ إلَيهِ الضّابِطُ الرُّومانِيُّ بَعْضَ الأصْدِقاءِ يَقُولُ لَهُ: «يا سَيِّدُ، لا تُحَمِّلْ نَفسَكَ عَناءَ المَجِيءِ، فَأنا لا أستَحِقُّ أنْ تَدخُلَ بَيتِي.

7 T herefore I didn’t even think myself worthy to come to you; but say the word, and my servant will be healed.

لِهَذا لَمْ أتَجَرَّأْ عَلَى المَجِيءِ إلَيكَ. وَما عَلَيكَ إلّا أنْ تَقُولَ كَلِمَةً فَيُشفَى خادِمِي.

8 F or I also am a man placed under authority, having under myself soldiers. I tell this one, ‘Go!’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come!’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”

فَأنا نَفسِي رَجُلٌ تَحتَ سُلطَةٍ، وَلِي جُنُودٌ يَأْتَمِرُونَ بِأمرِي. أقُولُ لِهَذا الجُندِيِّ: ‹اذْهَبْ!› فَيَذهَبُ. وَأقُولُ لِآخَرَ: ‹تَعالَ!› فَيَأتِي. وَأقُولُ لِخادِمِي: ‹افعَلْ كَذا!› فَيَفعَلُهُ.»

9 W hen Jesus heard these things, he marveled at him, and turned and said to the multitude who followed him, “I tell you, I have not found such great faith, no, not in Israel.”

فَلَمّا سَمِعَ يَسُوعُ هَذا اندَهَشَ. ثُمَّ التَفَتَ إلَى النّاسِ الَّذِينَ كانُوا يَتبَعُونَهُ وَقالَ: «أقُولُ لَكُمْ إنِّي لَمْ أجِدْ مِثلَ هَذا الإيمانِ حَتَّى بَينَ بَنِي إسرائِيلَ.»

10 T hose who were sent, returning to the house, found that the servant who had been sick was well.

فَلَمّا عادَ الَّذِيْنَ أرسَلَهُمُ الضّابِطُ إلَى البَيتِ، وَجَدُوا الخادِمَ قَدْ تَعافَى. إحياءُ ابنِ الأرمَلَة

11 S oon afterwards, he went to a city called Nain. Many of his disciples, along with a great multitude, went with him.

بَعدَ ذَلِكَ، ذَهَبَ يَسُوعُ إلَى بَلدَةٍ تُدعَى نايِيْنَ يُرافِقُهُ تَلامِيذُهُ وَجَمعٌ كَبِيرٌ مِنَ النّاسِ.

12 N ow when he came near to the gate of the city, behold, one who was dead was carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. Many people of the city were with her.

وَعِندَ اقتِرابِهِ مِنْ بَوّابَةِ البَلدَةِ، رَأىْ شاباً مَيِّتاً يُحمَلُ إلَى خارِجِ البَلدَةِ، وَقَدْ كانَ وَحِيدَ أُمِّهِ الأرمَلَةِ. وَكانَ هُناكَ جَمعٌ كَبِيْرٌ مِنَ رِجالِ المَدِينَةِ.

13 W hen the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said to her, “Don’t cry.”

فَلَمّا رَآها الرَّبُّ تَحَنَّنَ عَلَيها وَقالَ لَها: «لا تَبكِي.»

14 H e came near and touched the coffin, and the bearers stood still. He said, “Young man, I tell you, arise!”

وَاقتَرَبَ وَلَمَسَ التّابُوتَ، فَتَوَقَّفَ حامِلُوهُ. ثُمَّ قالَ يَسُوعُ: «أيُّها الشّابُّ،أنا أقُولُ لَكَ، انهَضْ!»

15 H e who was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother.

فَجَلَسَ المَيِّتُ مُعتَدِلاً، وَبَدَأ يَتَكَلَّمُ. فَرَدَّهُ يَسُوعُ إلَى أُمِّهِ.

16 F ear took hold of all, and they glorified God, saying, “A great prophet has arisen among us!” and, “God has visited his people!”

فَامتَلأ الجَمِيعُ رَهبَةً، وَمَجَّدُوا اللهَ، وَقالُوا: «لَقَدْ ظَهَرَ بَينَنا نَبِيٌّ عَظِيمٌ!» وَقالُوا: «لَقَدْ جاءَ اللهُ لَيُعِينَ شَعبَهُ!»

17 T his report went out concerning him in the whole of Judea, and in all the surrounding region.

وَانتَشَرَتْ أخبارُ يَسُوعَ عَبرَ إقليمِ اليَهُودِيَّةِ وَكُلِّ المَناطِقِ الرِّيفِيَّةِ المُجاوِرَةِ. سُؤالُ يُوحَنّا المَعْمَدان

18 T he disciples of John told him about all these things.

فَذَهَبَ تَلامِيذُ يُوحَنّا المَعْمَدانِ وَأخبَرُوهُ بِكُلِّ هَذِهِ الأشياءِ. فَدَعا يُوحَنّا اثْنَينِ مِنْ تَلامِيذِهِ،

19 J ohn, calling to himself two of his disciples, sent them to Jesus, saying, “Are you the one who is coming, or should we look for another?”

وَأرسَلَهُما إلَى الرَّبِّ لِيَسألاهُ: «هَلْ أنتَ الَّذي نَنْتَظِرُهُ، أمْ يَنبَغي أنْ نَنتَظِرَ آخَرَ؟»

20 W hen the men had come to him, they said, “John the Baptizer has sent us to you, saying, ‘Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?’”

فَجاءَ الرَّجُلانِ إلَيهِ وَقالا: «لَقَدْ أرسَلَنا يُوحَنّا المَعْمَدانُ لِنَسألَكَ هَلْ أنتَ الَّذي نَنْتَظِرُهُ، أمْ يَنبَغي أنْ نَنتَظِرَ آخَرَ؟»

21 I n that hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits; and to many who were blind he gave sight.

فَشَفَى يَسُوعُ فِي ذَلِكَ الوَقتِ أشخاصاً كَثِيرِينَ مِنْ أمراضِهِمُ المُختَلِفَةِ، وَطَرَدَ أرواحاً شِرِّيرَةً، وَأعطَى بَصَراً للكَثيرينَ مِنَ العُمْيانِ.

22 J esus answered them, “Go and tell John the things which you have seen and heard: that the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.

ثُمَّ أجابَ تِلمِيذَي يُوحَنّا فَقالَ: «اذهَبا وَأخبِرا يُوحَنّا بِما شاهَدْتُما وَسَمِعتُما: ها هُمُ العُميُ يُبصِرُونَ، وَالمُقعَدُونَ يَمشُونَ، وَالبُرْصُ يَطْهُرُونَ، وَالصُّمُّ يَسمَعُونَ، وَالمَوتَى يَحيَونَ، وَالمَساكِينُ يَسمَعُونَ البِشارَةَ.

23 B lessed is he who finds no occasion for stumbling in me.”

وَهَنِيئاً لِمَنْ لا يَتَرَدَّدُ فِي الإيمانِ بِي.»

24 W hen John’s messengers had departed, he began to tell the multitudes about John, “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

وَبَعدَ أنِ انطَلَقَ رَسُولا يُوحَنّا، بَدَأ يَسُوعُ يَتَحَدَّثُ إلَى النّاسِ عَنْ يُوحَنّا فَقالَ: «ما الَّذِي خَرَجتُمْ إلَى البَرِّيَّةِ لِتَرَوهُ؟ قَصَبَةً تُؤَرجِحُها الرِّيحُ؟

25 B ut what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft clothing? Behold, those who are gorgeously dressed, and live delicately, are in kings’ courts.

إذاً ما الَّذِي خَرَجتُمْ لِتَرَوهُ؟ رَجُلاً يَلبَسُ ثِياباً ناعِمَةً؟ إنَّ الَّذِينَ يَلبَسُونَ الثِّيابَ النّاعِمَةَ وَيَعِيشُونَ عِيشَةَ التَّرَفِ هُمْ فِي قُصُورِ المُلُوكِ.

26 B ut what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.

إذاً ما الَّذِي خَرَجتُمْ لِتَرَوهُ؟ نَبِيّاً؟ هُوَ كَذَلِكَ. بَلْ إنِّي أقُولُ لَكُمْ إنَّكُمْ رَأيتُمْ مَنْ هُوَ أعظَمُ مِنْ نَبِيٍّ!

27 T his is he of whom it is written, ‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’

فَهَذا هُوَ الَّذِي كُتِبَ عَنهُ: ‹ها أنا أُرسِلُ رَسُولِي قُدّامَكَ. لِيُعِدَّ الطَّرِيقَ أمامَكَ.›

28 “ For I tell you, among those who are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptizer, yet he who is least in God’s Kingdom is greater than he.”

لَيسَ بَينَ الَّذِينَ وَلَدَتهُمُ النِّساءُ مَنْ هُوَ أعظَمُ مِنْ يُوحَنّا، غَيرَ أنَّ أقَلَّ شَخصٍ فِي مَلَكُوتِ اللهِ أعظَمُ مِنهُ.»

29 W hen all the people and the tax collectors heard this, they declared God to be just, having been baptized with John’s baptism.

فَكُلُّ الَّذِينَ سَمِعُوا هَذا، حَتَّى جامِعُو الضَّرائِبِ، أقَرُّوا بِصِدقِ رِسالَةِ اللهِ، وَتَعَمَّدوا بِمَعمُودِيَّةِ يُوحَنّا.

30 B ut the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the counsel of God, not being baptized by him themselves.

أمّا الفِرِّيْسِيِّونَ وَمُعَلِّمو الشَّرِيعَةِ فَقَدْ رَفَضُوا الخُضُوعَ لِخُطَّةِ اللهِ، وَلَمْ يَتَعَمَّدوا عَلَى يَدَي يُوحَنّا.

31 “ To what then will I liken the people of this generation? What are they like?

وَقالَ يَسُوعُ: «بِماذا أُشَبِّهُ النّاسَ فِي هَذا الجِيلِ؟ وَكَيفَ أصِفُهُمْ؟

32 T hey are like children who sit in the marketplace, and call to one another, saying, ‘We piped to you, and you didn’t dance. We mourned, and you didn’t weep.’

إنَّهُمْ كَأطفالٍ يَجلِسُونَ فِي السُّوقِ. فَتُنادِي جَماعَةٌ مِنهُمْ أُخْرَى فَتَقُولُ: ‹زَمَّرْنا لَكُمْ، فَلَمْ تَرقُصُوا. وَغَنَّيْنا لَكُمْ أغانِيَ الجَنازاتِ، فَلَمْ تَبكُوا!›

33 F or John the Baptizer came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon.’

فَقَدْ جاءَ يُوحَنّا المَعْمَدانُ لا يَأْكُلُ كَالآخَرِينَ وَلا يَشرَبُ نَبِيذاً كَالآخَرِيْنَ. فَقُلتُمْ: ‹فِيهِ رُوحٌ شِرِّيرٌ.›

34 T he Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Behold, a gluttonous man, and a drunkard; a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’

ثُمَّ جاءَ ابنُ الإنسانِ يَأكُلُ كَالآخَرِينَ وَيَشرَبُ النَّبِيذَ. فَقُلتُمْ: ‹إنَّهُ شَرِهٌ وَسِكِّيرٌ، وَصَدِيقٌ لِجامِعِي الضَّرائِبِ وَالخُطاةِ!›

35 W isdom is justified by all her children.”

لَكِنَّ ثِمارَ الحِكْمَةِ هِيَ الَّتِي تُثبِتُ أنَّها حِكْمَةٌ صَحِيحَةٌ.» أحَبَّتْ يَسُوعَ كَثيراً

36 O ne of the Pharisees invited him to eat with him. He entered into the Pharisee’s house, and sat at the table.

وَدَعا أحَدُ الفِرِّيسِيِّينَ يَسُوعَ لِيَأكُلَ مَعَهُ، فَذَهَبَ إلَى بَيتِهِ، وَجَلَسَ إلَى المائِدَةِ.

37 B ehold, a woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that he was reclining in the Pharisee’s house, she brought an alabaster jar of ointment.

وَكانَتْ هُناكَ امْرأةٌ خاطِئَةٌ فِي المَدِينَةِ. فَلَمّا عَلِمَتْ أنَّ يَسُوعَ يَتَناوَلُ الطَّعامَ فِي بَيتِ الفِرِّيْسِيِّ، أحضَرَتْ قارُورَةً مِنَ المَرمَرِ مَلِيئَةً بِالعِطرِ،

38 S tanding behind at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and she wiped them with the hair of her head, kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.

وَوَقَفَتْ خَلفَ يَسُوعَ عِندَ قَدَمَيهِ، وَهِيَ تَنُوحُ وَتُبَلِّلُ قَدَمَيهِ بِدُمُوعِها. ثُمَّ مَسَحَتْهُما بِشَعرِها. وَقَبَّلَتْ قَدَمَيهِ وَسَكَبَتِ العِطرَ عَلَيهِما.

39 N ow when the Pharisee who had invited him saw it, he said to himself, “This man, if he were a prophet, would have perceived who and what kind of woman this is who touches him, that she is a sinner.”

فَرَأى الفِرِّيسِيُّ الَّذِي دَعاهُ ما حَدَثَ وَقالَ فِي نَفسِهِ: «لَو كانَ هَذا الرَّجُلُ نَبِيّاً، لَعَرَفَ مَنْ هِيَ هَذِهِ المَرأةُ الَّتِي تَلمَسُهُ، وَأيُّ نَوعٍ مِنَ النِّساءِ هِيَ. وَلَعَرَفَ أنَّها خاطِئَةٌ.»

40 J esus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” He said, “Teacher, say on.”

فَقالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «لَدَيَّ ما أقُولُهُ لَكَ يا سِمعانُ.» فَرَدَّ سِمعانُ: «قُلْ يا مُعَلِّمُ.»

41 “ A certain lender had two debtors. The one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.

فَقالَ يَسُوعُ: «كانَ هُناكَ رَجُلانِ مَديُونانِ لِرَجُلٍ مُرابي. أحَدُهُما بِخَمسِ مِئَةِ دِينارٍ، وَالآخَرُ بِخَمسِينَ.

42 W hen they couldn’t pay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore will love him most?”

وَإذْ كانا عاجِزَينِ عَنِ السَّدادِ، تَكَرَّمَ الرَّجُلُ فَشَطَبَ دَينَهُما. فَمَنْ مِنهُما يَكُونُ أكثَرَ حُبّاً لَهُ؟»

43 S imon answered, “He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the most.” He said to him, “You have judged correctly.”

أجابَ سِمعانُ: «أظُنُّ أنَّهُ الَّذِي شَطَبَ لَهُ الدَّينَ الأكبَرَ.» فَقالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «أصَبْتَ فِي حُكمِكَ.»

44 T urning to the woman, he said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered into your house, and you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head.

وَقالَ لِسِمعانَ مُلتَفِتاً إلَى المَرأةِ: «هَلْ تَرَى هَذِهِ المَرأةَ؟ لَقَدْ جِئتُ إلَى بَيتِكَ فَلَمْ تُعطِنِي ماءً لِأغسِلَ رِجلَيَّ، أمّا هِيَ فَقَدْ بَلَّلَتْ قَدَمَيَّ بِدُمُوعِها، وَمَسَحَتهُما بِشَعرِها.

45 Y ou gave me no kiss, but she, since the time I came in, has not ceased to kiss my feet.

أنتَ لَمْ تُقَبِّلنِي قُبلَةَ تَرحِيبٍ. أمّا هِيَ فَلَمْ تَتَوَقَّفْ عَنْ تَقبِيلِ قَدَمَيَّ مُنذُ دَخَلتُ.

46 Y ou didn’t anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment.

أنتَ لَمْ تَدهَنْ رَأسِي بِزَيتٍ، أمّا هِيَ فَدَهَنَتْ قَدَمَيَّ بِالعِطرِ.

47 T herefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little.”

لِهَذا أقُولُ لَكَ إنَّ خَطاياها الكَثِيرَةَ قَدْ غُفِرَتْ، بِدَليلِ أنَّها أظهَرَتْ حُبّاً كَثيراً. أمّا الَّذي تُغفَرُ لَهُ خَطايا قَليلَةٌ، فَإنَّهُ يُحِبُّ قَليلاً.»

48 H e said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”

ثُمَّ قالَ لَها: «خَطاياكِ قَدْ غُفِرَتْ.»

49 T hose who sat at the table with him began to say to themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”

فَبَدَأ الجالِسونَ إلَى المائِدَةِ مَعَهُ يَقُولُونَ بَعضُهُمْ لِبَعضٍ: «مَنْ هَذا الَّذِي يَقدِرُ حَتَّى أنْ يَغفِرَ الخَطايا؟»

50 H e said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”

أمّا يَسُوعُ فَقالَ لِلمَرأةِ: «لَقَدْ خَلَّصَكِ إيمانُكِ، فَاذهَبِي بِسَلامٍ.»
