1 A nd he went forth thence, and came to his own country, and his disciples do follow him,

ثُمَّ غادَرَ يَسُوعُ ذَلِكَ المَكانَ وَعادَ إلَى بَلْدَتِهِ وَتَبِعَهُ تَلامِيذُهُ.

2 a nd sabbath having come, he began in the synagogue to teach, and many hearing were astonished, saying, `Whence hath this one these things? and what the wisdom that was given to him, that also such mighty works through his hands are done?

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 not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James, and Joses, and Judas, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us?' -- and they were being stumbled at him.

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

4 A nd Jesus said to them -- `A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and among his kindred, and in his own house;'

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

5 a nd he was not able there any mighty work to do, except on a few infirm people having put hands he did heal;

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

6 a nd he wondered because of their unbelief. And he was going round the villages, in a circle, teaching,

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

7 a nd he doth call near the twelve, and he began to send them forth two by two, and he was giving them power over the unclean spirits,

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

8 a nd he commanded them that they may take nothing for the way, except a staff only -- no scrip, no bread, no brass in the girdle,

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

9 b ut having been shod with sandals, and ye may not put on two coats.

فَكانَ عَلَيهِمْ أنْ يَنتَعِلُوا أحْذِيَتَهُمْ وَأنْ يَكْتَفُوا بِالثِّيابِ الَّتِي يَلبَسُونَها.

10 A nd he said to them, `Whenever ye may enter into a house, there remain till ye may depart thence,

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

11 a nd as many as may not receive you, nor hear you, going out thence, shake off the dust that is under your feet for a testimony to them; verily I say to you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom or Gomorrah in a 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 A nd having gone forth they were preaching that might reform,

فَخَرَجُوا يُبَشِّرونَ النّاسَ وَيَدْعونَهُمْ إلَى التَّوبَةِ.

13 a nd many demons they were casting out, and they were anointing with oil many infirm, and they were healing.

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

14 A nd the king Herod heard, (for his name became public,) and he said -- `John the Baptist out of the dead was raised, and because of this the mighty powers are working 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 a prophet, or as one of the prophets.'

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

16 A nd Herod having heard, said -- `He whom I did behead -- John -- this is he; he was raised out of the dead.'

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

17 F or Herod himself, having sent forth, did lay hold on John, and bound him in the prison, because of Herodias the wife of Philip his brother, because he married her,

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

18 f or John said to Herod -- `It is not lawful to thee to have the wife of thy brother;'

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

19 a nd Herodias was having a quarrel with him, and was willing to kill him, and was not able,

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

20 f or Herod was fearing John, knowing him a man righteous and holy, and was keeping watch over him, and having heard him, was doing many things, and hearing 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 A nd a seasonable day having come, when Herod on his birthday was making a supper to his great men, and to the chiefs of thousands, and to the first 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 the daughter of that Herodias having come in, and having danced, and having pleased Herod and those reclining (at meat) with him, the king said to the damsel, `Ask of me whatever thou wilt, and I will give to thee,'

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

23 a nd he sware to her -- `Whatever thou mayest ask me, I will give to thee -- unto the half of my kingdom.'

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

24 A nd she, having gone forth, said to her mother, `What shall I ask for myself?' and she said, `The head of John the Baptist;'

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

25 a nd having come in immediately with haste unto the king, she asked, saying, `I will that thou mayest give me presently, upon a plate, the head of John the Baptist.'

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

26 A nd the king -- made very sorrowful -- because of the oaths and of those reclining (at meat) with him, would not put her away,

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

27 a nd immediately the king having sent a guardsman, did command his head to be brought,

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

28 a nd he having gone, beheaded him in the prison, and brought his head upon a plate, and did give it to the damsel, and the damsel did give it to her mother;

وَأحضَرَ الرَأسَ عَلَى طَبَقٍ أعطاهُ لِلفَتاةِ، فَأعطَتْهُ لِأُمِّها.

29 a nd having heard, his disciples came and took up his corpse, and laid it in the tomb.

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

30 A nd the apostles are gathered together unto Jesus, and they told him all, and how many things they did, and how many things they taught,

وَاجتَمَعَ الرُّسُلُ حَولَ يَسُوعَ وَأخبَرُوهُ عَنْ كُلِّ ما عَمِلُوهُ وَعَلَّموهُ.

31 a nd he said to them, `Come ye yourselves apart to a desert place, and rest a little,' for those coming and those going were many, and not even to eat had they opportunity,

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

32 a nd they went away to a desert place, in the boat, by themselves.

فَذَهَبُوا فِي القارِبِ إلَى مَكانٍ مُنْعَزِلٍ وَحْدَهُمْ.

33 A nd the multitudes saw them going away, and many recognised him, and by land from all the cities they ran thither, and went 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 having come forth, Jesus saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion on them, that they were as sheep not having a shepherd, and he began to teach many things.

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

35 A nd now the hour being advanced, his disciples having come near to him, say, -- `The place is desolate, and the hour is now advanced,

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

36 l et them away, that, having gone away to the surrounding fields and villages, they may buy to themselves loaves, for what they may eat they have not.'

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

37 A nd he answering said to them, `Give ye them to eat,' and they say to him, `Having gone away, may we buy two hundred denaries' worth of loaves, and give to them to eat?'

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

38 A nd he saith to them, `How many loaves have ye? go and see;' and having known, they say, `Five, and two fishes.'

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

39 A nd he commanded them to make all recline in companies upon the green grass,

فَأمَرَهُمْ يَسُوعُ أنْ يُجلِسُوا الجَمِيعَ فِي مَجمُوعاتٍ عَلَى العُشْبِ الأخضَرِ.

40 a nd they sat down in squares, by hundreds, and by fifties.

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

41 A nd having taken the five loaves and the two fishes, having looked up to the heaven, he blessed, and brake the loaves, and was giving to his disciples, that they may set before them, and the two fishes divided he to 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 a nd they did all eat, and were filled,

فَأكَلُوا وَشَبِعُوا جَمِيعاً.

43 a nd they took up of broken pieces twelve hand-baskets full, and of the fishes,

وَرَفَعُوا اثنَتي عَشْرَةَ سَلَّةً مَملوءَةً بِكِسَرِ الخُبْزِ وَبَقايا السَّمَكِ.

44 a nd those eating of the loaves were about five thousand men.

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

45 A nd immediately he constrained his disciples to go into the boat, and to go before to the other side, unto Bethsaida, till he may let 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 having taken leave of them, he went away to the mountain to pray.

وَبَعدَ أنْ وَدَّعَ النّاسَ، ذَهَبَ إلَى الجَبَلِ لِيُصَلِّي.

47 A nd evening having come, the boat was in the midst of the sea, and he alone upon the land;

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

48 a nd he saw them harassed in the rowing, for the wind was against them, and about the fourth watch of the night he doth come to them walking on the sea, and wished to pass by 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 A nd they having seen him walking on the sea, thought to be an apparition, and cried out,

فَلَمّا رَأوهُ ماشِياً عَلَى المِياهِ ظَنُّوا أنَّهُ شَبَحٌ، فَصَرَخُوا،

50 f or they all saw him, and were troubled, and immediately he spake with them, and saith to them, `Take courage, I am, be not afraid.'

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

51 A nd he went up unto them to the boat, and the wind lulled, and greatly out of measure were they amazed in themselves, and were wondering,

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

52 f or they understood not concerning the loaves, for their heart hath been hard.

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

53 A nd having passed over, they came upon the land of Gennesaret, and drew to the shore,

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

54 a nd they having come forth out of the boat, immediately having recognised him,

وَلَمّا خَرَجُوا مِنَ القارِبِ، عَرَفَ النّاسُ يَسُوعَ.

55 h aving run about through all that region round about, they began upon the couches to carry about those ill, where they were hearing that he is,

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

56 a nd wherever he was going, to villages, or cities, or fields, in the market-places they were laying the infirm, and were calling upon him, that they may touch if it were but the fringe of his garment, and as many as were touching him were saved.

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.
