1 S oon afterwards, he went about through cities and villages, preaching and bringing the good news of God’s Kingdom. With him were the twelve,

بَعدَ ذَلِكَ كانَ يَسُوعُ يَمُرُّ مِنْ مَدِينَةٍ إلَى أُخْرَى، وَمِنْ قَريَةٍ إلَى أُخْرَى، يَعِظُ وَيُعلِنُ بِشارَةَ مَلَكُوتِ اللهِ لِلنّاسِ. وَكانَ الرُّسُلُ الاثنا عَشَرُ مَعَهُ.

2 a nd certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary who was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out;

كَما رافَقَتهُ بَعضُ النِّساءِ اللَّواتِي شَفاهُنَّ مِنْ أرواحٍ شِرِّيرَةٍ وَأمراضٍ. وَهُنَّ: مَريَمُ الَّتِي تُدعَى المَجدَلِيَّةَ الَّتِي أخرَجَ مِنها سَبعَةَ أرواحٍ شِرِّيرَةٍ،

3 a nd Joanna, the wife of Chuzas, Herod’s steward; Susanna; and many others; who served them from their possessions.

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

4 W hen a great multitude came together, and people from every city were coming to him, he spoke by a parable.

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

5 “ The farmer went out to sow his seed. As he sowed, some fell along the road, and it was trampled under foot, and the birds of the sky devoured it.

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

6 O ther seed fell on the rock, and as soon as it grew, it withered away, because it had no moisture.

وَوَقَعَ بَعضُ البِذارِ عَلَى طَبَقَةٍ صَخرِيَّةٍ. وَعِندَما نَما، ذَبُلَ إذْ لَمْ تَكُنْ فِيهِ رُطُوبَةٌ.

7 O ther fell amid the thorns, and the thorns grew with it, and choked it.

وَوَقَعَ بَعضُ البِذارِ بَينَ الأشواكِ، فَنَمَتِ الأشواكُ مَعَهُ وَعَطَّلَتْ نُمُوَّهُ.

8 O ther fell into the good ground, and grew, and produced one hundred times as much fruit.” As he said these things, he called out, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”

وَوَقَعَ بَعضُ البِذارِ عَلَى الأرْضِ الصّالِحَةِ، فَنَما وَأثمَرَ مِئَةَ ضِعفٍ.» وَفِيما هُوَ يَقُولُ هَذِهِ الأشياءَ نادَى وَقالَ: «مَنْ لَهُ أُذُنانِ، فَلْيَسْمَعْ.» مَعنَى مَثَلِ البِذار

9 T hen his disciples asked him, “What does this parable mean?”

وَسَألَهُ تَلامِيذُهُ عَنْ مَغزَى هَذا المَثَلِ،

10 H e said, “To you it is given to know the mysteries of God’s Kingdom, but to the rest in parables; that ‘seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.’

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

11 N ow the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

«إلَيكُمْ مَعنَى المَثَلِ: البِذارُ هُوَ كَلِمَةُ اللهِ.

12 T hose along the road are those who hear, then the devil comes, and takes away the word from their heart, that they may not believe and be saved.

فَالبِذارُ الَّذي وَقَعَ إلَى جانِبِ الطَّرِيقِ، يُمَثِّلُ الَّذِينَ يَسمَعُونَ كَلِمَةَ اللهِ، ثُمَّ يَأْتِي إبليسُ وَيَنزِعُ الكَلِمَةَ مِنْ قُلُوبِهِمْ. وَبِهَذا لا يَستَطِيعُونَ أنْ يُؤمِنُوا وَيُخَلَّصُوا.

13 T hose on the rock are they who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; but these have no root, who believe for a while, then fall away in time of temptation.

أمّا الَّذي وَقَعَ عَلَى الصَّخرِ، فَيُمَثِّلُ الَّذِينَ يَقبَلُونَ الكَلِمَةَ بِفَرَحٍ حِينَ يَسمَعُونَها، لَكِنْ لَيسَ لَهُمْ جُذُورٌ، فَيُؤمِنُونَ لِفَترَةٍ، لَكِنَّهُمْ يَتَراجَعُونَ فِي وَقتِ الامتِحانِ.

14 T hat which fell among the thorns, these are those who have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with cares, riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to maturity.

أمّا الَّذي وَقَعَ بَينَ الأشواكِ، فَيُمَثِّلُ الَّذِينَ يَسمَعُونَ الكَلِمَةَ، وَيَمضُونَ فِي طَرِيقِهِمْ. لَكِنَّهُمْ يَسمَحُونَ لِهُمُومِ الحَياةِ وَغِناها وَمُتَعِها بِأنْ تَأْتِيَ وَتَخنُقَهُمْ، فَلا يُثْمِرُونَ ثَمَراً ناضِجاً.

15 T hat in the good ground, these are such as in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, hold it tightly, and produces fruit with patience.

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

16 “ No one, when he has lit a lamp, covers it with a container, or puts it under a bed; but puts it on a stand, that those who enter in may see the light.

وَقالَ: «لا يُضِيءُ أحَدٌ مِصباحاً وَيُغَطِّيهِ بِإناءٍ أوْ يُخْفيهِ تَحتَ سَرِيرٍ! بَلْ يَضَعُهُ عَلَى حَمّالَةٍ مُرتَفِعَةٍ، لِكَي يَستَطِيعَ الداخِلُونَ أنْ يَرَوا النُّورَ.

17 F or nothing is hidden, that will not be revealed; nor anything secret, that will not be known and come to light.

لِأنَّهُ ما مِنْ مَخفِيٍّ إلّا وَسَيُظهَرُ، وَما مِنْ سِرٍّ إلّا وَسَيَنكَشِفُ وَيَأتِي إلَى النُّورِ.

18 B e careful therefore how you hear. For whoever has, to him will be given; and whoever doesn’t have, from him will be taken away even that which he thinks he has.”

فَانتَبِهُوا كَيفَ تَسمَعُونَ، لِأنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ يَملُكُ سَيُزادُ لَهُ، أمّا الَّذِي لا يَملِكُ، فَسَيُنتَزَعُ مِنهُ ما يَبدُو أنَّهُ لَهُ.» عائِلَةُ يَسُوعَ هُمْ أتباعُه

19 H is mother and brothers came to him, and they could not come near him for the crowd.

وَجاءَتْ أُمُّ يَسُوعَ وَإخوَتُهُ إلَيهِ، لَكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَتَمَكَّنُوا مِنَ الوُصُولِ إلَيهِ بِسَبَبِ الازدِحامِ.

20 S ome people told him, “Your mother and your brothers stand outside, desiring to see you.”

فَقِيلَ لَهُ: «أُمُّكَ وَإخوَتُكَ واقِفُونَ خارِجاً، وَهُمْ يُرِيدُونَ أنْ يَرَوكَ.»

21 B ut he answered them, “My mother and my brothers are these who hear the word of God, and do it.”

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

22 N ow on one of those days, he entered into a boat, himself and his disciples, and he said to them, “Let’s go over to the other side of the lake.” So they launched out.

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

23 B ut as they sailed, he fell asleep. A wind storm came down on the lake, and they were taking on dangerous amounts of water.

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

24 T hey came to him, and awoke him, saying, “Master, master, we are dying!” He awoke, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water, and they ceased, and it was calm.

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

25 H e said to them, “Where is your faith?” Being afraid they marveled, saying to one another, “Who is this, then, that he commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him?”

فَقالَ يَسُوعُ لَهُمْ: «أينَ إيمانُكُمْ؟» لَكِنَّهُمْ كانُوا خائِفِينَ وَمَذهُولِينَ، وَهُمْ يَقولونَ بَعضُهُمْ لِبَعضٍ: «أيُّ رَجُلٍ هَذا الَّذي يَأمُرُ الرِّيحَ وَالمياهَ، فَيُطِيعانِهِ؟» رَجُلٌ مَسكُونٌ بِأرواحٍ شِرِّيرَة

26 T hey arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is opposite Galilee.

وَهَكَذا أبحَرُوا إلَى مِنْطَقَةِ الجَدرِيِّينَ المُقابِلَةِ لإقلِيمِ الجَلِيلِ.

27 W hen Jesus stepped ashore, a certain man out of the city who had demons for a long time met him. He wore no clothes, and didn’t live in a house, but in the tombs.

وَعِندَما 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.

28 W hen he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, “What do I have to do with you, Jesus, you Son of the Most High God? I beg you, don’t torment me!”

فَلَمّا رَأى يَسُوعَ صَرَخَ وَارتَمَى أمامَهُ، وَقالَ لَهُ بِصَوتٍ مُرتَفِعٍ: «ماذا تُرِيدُ مِنِّي يا يَسُوعُ يا ابنَ اللهِ العَلِيِّ؟ أتَوَسَّلُ إلَيكَ ألّا تُعَذِّبَنِي.»

29 F or Jesus was commanding the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For the unclean spirit had often seized the man. He was kept under guard, and bound with chains and fetters. Breaking the bands apart, he was driven by the demon into the desert.

قالَ 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.

30 J esus asked him, “What is your name?” He said, “Legion,” for many demons had entered into him.

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

31 T hey begged him that he would not command them to go into the abyss.

وَتَوَسَّلَتِ الأرواحُ الشِّرِّيْرَةُ إلَى يَسُوعَ ألّا يَأمُرَها بِالذَّهابِ إلَى الهاوِيَةِ.

32 N ow there was there a herd of many pigs feeding on the mountain, and they begged him that he would allow them to enter into those. He allowed them.

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

33 T he demons came out of the man, and entered into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake, and were drowned.

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

34 W hen those who fed them saw what had happened, they fled, and told it in the city and in the country.

وَلَمّا رَأى الرُّعاةُ ما حَدَثَ هَرَبُوا، وَأبلَغُوا النّاسَ فِي البَلدَةِ وَفِي الرِّيفِ بِما حَصَلَ.

35 P eople went out to see what had happened. They came to Jesus, and found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting at Jesus’ feet, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.

فَخَرَجَ النّاسُ لِيَرَوا ما حَدَثَ، وَجاءُوا إلَى يَسُوعَ، وَوَجَدُوا الرَّجُلَ الَّذِي خَرَجَتْ مِنهُ الأرواحُ الشِّرِّيْرَةُ جالِساً عِندَ قَدَمَيِّ يَسُوعَ، وَهوَ لابِسٌ وَفِي كامِلِ عَقلِهِ، فَخافُوا.

36 T hose who saw it told them how he who had been possessed by demons was healed.

وَأخبَرَهُمُ الَّذِينَ رَأَوْا ما حَدَثَ وَكَيفَ شُفِيَ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي كانَتْ فِيهِ الأرواحُ الشِّرِّيرَةُ.

37 A ll the people of the surrounding country of the Gadarenes asked him to depart from them, for they were very much afraid. He entered into the boat, and returned.

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

38 B ut the man from whom the demons had gone out begged him that he might go with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying,

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

39 “ Return to your house, and declare what great things God has done for you.” He went his way, proclaiming throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him.

«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

40 W hen Jesus returned, the multitude welcomed him, for they were all waiting for him.

وَعِندَما عادَ يَسُوعُ رَحَّبَتْ بِهِ جُمُوعُ النّاسِ، فَقَدْ كانُوا كُلُّهُمْ فِي انتِظارِهِ.

41 B ehold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue. He fell down at Jesus’ feet, and begged him to come into his house,

وَفِي تِلكَ اللَّحظَةِ، جاءَ رَجُلٌ اسْمُهُ يايرُسُ، وَكانَ يايرُسُ هَذا مَسؤُولاً عَنِ المَجمَعِ، فَارتَمَى عِندَ قَدَمَي يَسُوعَ، وَرَجاهُ أنْ يُرافِقَهُ إلَى بَيتِهِ.

42 f or he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. But as he went, the multitudes pressed against him.

فَقَدْ كانَتْ لَهُ ابنَةٌ وَحِيدَةٌ فِي الثّانِيَةَ عَشْرَةَ مِنْ عُمرِها عَلَى وَشَكِ المَوتِ. وَبَينَما كانَ يَسُوعُ سائِراً نَحوَ بَيتِهِ، كانَتِ الحُشُودُ تَدفَعُهُ.

43 A woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her living on physicians, and could not be healed by any,

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

44 c ame behind him, and touched the fringe of his cloak, and immediately the flow of her blood stopped.

فَجاءَتْ مِنْ وَراءِ يَسُوعَ، وَلَمَسَتْ طَرَفَ عَباءَتِهِ. فَانقَطَعَ النَّزِيفُ فَوراً.

45 J esus said, “Who touched me?” When all denied it, Peter and those with him said, “Master, the multitudes press and jostle you, and you say, ‘Who touched me?’ ”

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

46 B ut Jesus said, “Someone did touch me, for I perceived that power has gone out of me.”

فَقالَ يَسُوعُ: «أحَدُهُمْ لَمَسَنِي، فَقَدْ شَعَرتُ بِقُوَّةٍ خَرَجَتْ مِنِّي.»

47 W hen the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling, and falling down before him declared to him in the presence of all the people the reason why she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.

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

48 H e said to her, “Daughter, cheer up. Your faith has made you well. Go in peace.”

فَقالَ لَها: «يا ابنَتِي، لَقَدْ خَلَّصَكِ إيمانُكِ، فَاذْهَبِي بِسَلامٍ.»

49 W hile he still spoke, one from the ruler of the synagogue’s house came, saying to him, “Your daughter is dead. Don’t trouble the Teacher.”

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

50 B ut Jesus hearing it, answered him, “Don’t be afraid. Only believe, and she will be healed.”

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

51 W hen he came to the house, he didn’t allow anyone to enter in, except Peter, John, James, the father of the child, and her mother.

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

52 A ll were weeping and mourning her, but he said, “Don’t weep. She isn’t dead, but sleeping.”

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

53 T hey were ridiculing him, knowing that she was dead.

فَضَحِكُوا عَلَيهِ لِعِلْمِهِمْ بَأنَّها ماتَتْ.

54 B ut he put them all outside, and taking her by the hand, he called, saying, “Child, arise!”

وَلَكِنَّهُ أمسَكَ بِيَدِها وَنادَى: «يا صَبِيَّةُ، انهَضِي!»

55 H er spirit returned, and she rose up immediately. He commanded that something be given to her to eat.

فَعادَتْ رُوحُها إلَيها، وَوَقَفَتْ فَوراً. فَأمَرَ يَسُوعُ بِأنْ يُقَدَّمَ لَها طَعامٌ لِتَأْكُلَ.

56 H er parents were amazed, but he commanded them to tell no one what had been done.

وَذُهِلَ وَالِداها، لَكِنَّهُ أمَرَهُما بِأنْ لا يُخبِرا أحَداً بِما حَصَلَ.
