¹ولما اكمل اقواله كلها في مسامع الشعب دخل كفرناحوم.

¹And when he completed all his sayings in the ears of the people, he went into Capernaum;

²وكان عبد لقائد مئة مريضا مشرفا على الموت وكان عزيزا عنده.

²and a certain centurion`s servant being ill, was about to die, who was much valued by him,

³فلما سمع عن يسوع ارسل اليه شيوخ اليهود يسأله ان يأتي ويشفي عبده.

³and having heard about Jesus, he sent unto him elders of the Jews, beseeching him, that having come he might thoroughly save his servant.

⁴فلما جاءوا الى يسوع طلبوا اليه باجتهاد قائلين انه مستحق ان يفعل له هذا.

⁴And they, having come near unto Jesus, were calling upon him earnestly, saying — `He is worthy to whom thou shalt do this,

⁵لانه يحب امتنا وهو بنى لنا المجمع.

⁵for he doth love our nation, and the synagogue he did build to us.`

⁶فذهب يسوع معهم. واذ كان غير بعيد عن البيت ارسل اليه قائد المئة اصدقاء يقول له يا سيد لا تتعب. لاني لست مستحقا ان تدخل تحت سقفي.

⁶And Jesus was going on with them, and now when he is not far distant from the house the centurion sent unto him friends, saying to him, `Sir, be not troubled, for I am not worthy that under my roof thou mayest enter;

⁷لذلك لم احسب نفسي اهلا ان آتي اليك. لكن قل كلمة فيبرأ غلامي.

⁷wherefore not even myself thought I worthy to come unto thee, but say in a word, and my lad shall be healed;

⁸لاني انا ايضا انسان مرتّب تحت سلطان. لي جند تحت يدي. واقول لهذا اذهب فيذهب ولآخر ائت فيأتي ولعبدي افعل هذا فيفعل.

⁸for I also am a man placed under authority, having under myself soldiers, and I say to this [one], Go, and he goeth; and to another, Be coming, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doth [it].`

⁹ولما سمع يسوع هذا تعجب منه والتفت الى الجمع الذي يتبعه وقال اقول لكم لم اجد ولا في اسرائيل ايمانا بمقدار هذا.

⁹And having heard these things Jesus wondered at him, and having turned to the multitude following him, he said, `I say to you, not even in Israel so much faith did I find;`

¹⁰ورجع المرسلون الى البيت فوجدوا العبد المريض قد صحّ

¹⁰and those sent, having turned back to the house, found the ailing servant in health.

¹¹وفي اليوم التالي ذهب الى مدينة تدعى نايين وذهب معه كثيرون من تلاميذه وجمع كثير.

¹¹And it came to pass, on the morrow, he was going on to a city called Nain, and there were going with him many of his disciples, and a great multitude,

¹²فلما اقترب الى باب المدينة اذا ميت محمول ابن وحيد لامّه وهي ارملة ومعها جمع كثير من المدينة.

¹²and as he came nigh to the gate of the city, then, lo, one dead was being carried forth, an only son of his mother, and she a widow, and a great multitude of the city was with her.

¹³فلما رآها الرب تحنن عليها وقال لها لا تبكي.

¹³And the Lord having seen her, was moved with compassion towards her, and said to her, `Be not weeping;`

¹⁴ثم تقدم ولمس النعش فوقف الحاملون. فقال ايها الشاب لك اقول قم.

¹⁴and having come near, he touched the bier, and those bearing [it] stood still, and he said, `Young man, to thee I say, Arise;`

¹⁵فجلس الميت وابتدأ يتكلم فدفعه الى امه.

¹⁵and the dead sat up, and began to speak, and he gave him to his mother;

¹⁶فاخذ الجميع خوف ومجدوا الله قائلين قد قام فينا نبي عظيم وافتقد الله شعبه.

¹⁶and fear took hold of all, and they were glorifying God, saying — `A great prophet hath risen among us,` and — `God did look upon His people.`

¹⁷وخرج هذا الخبر عنه في كل اليهودية وفي جميع الكورة المحيطة

¹⁷And the account of this went forth in all Judea about him, and in all the region around.

¹⁸فاخبر يوحنا تلاميذه بهذا كله.

¹⁸And the disciples of John told him about all these things,

¹⁹فدعا يوحنا اثنين من تلاميذه وارسل الى يسوع قائلا انت هو الآتي ام ننتظر آخر.

¹⁹and John having called near a certain two of his disciples, sent unto Jesus, saying, `Art thou he who is coming, or for another do we look?`

²⁰فلما جاء اليه الرجلان قالا يوحنا المعمدان قد ارسلنا اليك قائلا انت هو الآتي ام ننتظر آخر.

²⁰And having come near to him, the men said, `John the Baptist sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he who is coming, or for another do we look?`

²¹وفي تلك الساعة شفى كثيرين من امراض وادواء وارواح شريرة ووهب البصر لعميان كثيرين.

²¹And in that hour he cured many from sicknesses, and plagues, and evil spirits, and to many blind he granted sight.

²²فاجاب يسوع وقال لهما اذهبا واخبرا يوحنا بما رأيتما وسمعتما. ان العمي يبصرون والعرج يمشون والبرص يطهرون والصم يسمعون والموتى يقومون والمساكين يبشرون.

²²And Jesus answering said to them, `Having gone on, report to John what ye saw and heard, that blind men do see again, lame do walk, lepers are cleansed, deaf do hear, dead are raised, poor have good news proclaimed;

²³وطوبى لمن لا يعثر فيّ

²³and happy is he whoever may not be stumbled in me.`

²⁴فلما مضى رسولا يوحنا ابتدأ يقول للجموع عن يوحنا. ماذا خرجتم الى البرية لتنظروا. أقصبة تحركها الريح.

²⁴And the messengers of John having gone away, he began to say unto the multitudes concerning John: `What have ye gone forth to the wilderness to look on? a reed by the wind shaken?

²⁵بل ماذا خرجتم لتنظروا أانسانا لابسا ثيابا ناعمة. هوذا الذين في اللباس الفاخر والتنعم هم في قصور الملوك.

²⁵but what have ye gone forth to see? a man in soft garments clothed? lo, they in splendid apparellings, and living in luxury, are in the houses of kings!

²⁶بل ماذا خرجتم لتنظروا. أنبيا. نعم اقول لكم وافضل من نبي.

²⁶`But what have ye gone forth to see? a prophet? Yes, I say to you, and much more than a prophet:

²⁷هذا هو الذي كتب عنه ها انا ارسل امام وجهك ملاكي الذي يهيئ طريقك قدامك.

²⁷this is he concerning whom it hath been written, Lo, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee;

²⁸لاني اقول لكم انه بين المولودين من النساء ليس نبي اعظم من يوحنا المعمدان. ولكن الاصغر في ملكوت الله اعظم منه.

²⁸for I say to you, a greater prophet, among those born of women, than John the Baptist there is not; but the least in the reign of God is greater than he.`

²⁹وجميع الشعب اذ سمعوا والعشارين برروا الله معتمدين بمعمودية يوحنا.

²⁹And all the people having heard, and the tax-gatherers, declared God righteous, having been baptized with the baptism of John,

³⁰واما الفريسيون والناموسيون فرفضوا مشورة الله من جهة انفسهم غير معتمدين منه

³⁰but the Pharisees, and the lawyers, the counsel of God did put away for themselves, not having been baptized by him.

³¹ثم قال الرب فبمن اشبه اناس هذا الجيل وماذا يشبهون.

³¹And the Lord said, `To what, then, shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like?

³²يشبهون اولادا جالسين في السوق ينادون بعضهم بعضا ويقولون زمرنا لكم فلم ترقصوا. نحنا لكم فلم تبكوا.

³²they are like to children, to those sitting in a market-place, and calling one to another, and saying, We piped to you, and ye did not dance, we mourned to you, and ye did not weep!

³³لانه جاء يوحنا المعمدان لا يأكل خبزا ولا يشرب خمرا فتقولون به شيطان.

³³`For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and ye say, He hath a demon;

³⁴جاء ابن الانسان يأكل ويشرب فتقولون هوذا انسان اكول وشريب خمر. محب للعشارين والخطاة.

³⁴the Son of Man came eating and drinking, and ye say, Lo, a man, a glutton, and a wine drinker, a friend of tax-gatherers and sinners;

³⁵والحكمة تبررت من جميع بنيها

³⁵and the wisdom was justified from all her children.`

³⁶وسأله واحد من الفريسيين ان يأكل معه فدخل بيت الفريسي واتكأ.

³⁶And a certain one of the Pharisees was asking him that he might eat with him, and having gone into the house of the Pharisee he reclined (at meat),

³⁷واذا امرأة في المدينة كانت خاطئة اذ علمت انه متكئ في بيت الفريسي جاءت بقارورة طيب

³⁷and lo, a woman in the city, who was a sinner, having known that he reclineth (at meat) in the house of the Pharisee, having provided an alabaster box of ointment,

³⁸ووقفت عند قدميه من ورائه باكية وابتدأت تبل قدميه بالدموع وكانت تمسحهما بشعر راسها وتقبل قدميه وتدهنهما بالطيب.

³⁸and having stood behind, beside his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with the tears, and with the hairs of her head she was wiping, and was kissing his feet, and was anointing with the ointment.

³⁹فلما رأى الفريسي الذي دعاه ذلك تكلم في نفسه قائلا لو كان هذا نبيا لعلم من هذه المرأة التي تلمسه وما هي. انها خاطئة.

³⁹And the Pharisee who did call him, having seen, spake within himself, saying, `This one, if he were a prophet, would have known who and of what kind [is] the woman who doth touch him, that she is a sinner.`

⁴⁰فاجاب يسوع وقال له يا سمعان عندي شيء اقوله لك. فقال قل يا معلّم.

⁴⁰And Jesus answering said unto him, `Simon, I have something to say to thee;` and he saith, `Teacher, say on.`

⁴¹كان لمداين مديونان. على الواحد خمس مئة دينار وعلى الآخر خمسون.

⁴¹`Two debtors were to a certain creditor; the one was owing five hundred denaries, and the other fifty;

⁴²واذ لم يكن لهما ما يوفيان سامحهما جميعا. فقل. ايهما يكون اكثر حبا له.

⁴²and they not having [wherewith] to give back, he forgave both; which then of them, say thou, will love him more?`

⁴³فاجاب سمعان وقال اظن الذي سامحه بالاكثر. فقال له بالصواب حكمت.

⁴³And Simon answering said, `I suppose that to whom he forgave the more;` and he said to him, `Rightly thou didst judge.`

⁴⁴ثم التفت الى المرأة وقال لسمعان أتنظر هذه المرأة. اني دخلت بيتك وماء لاجل رجلي لم تعط. واما هي فقد غسلت رجليّ بالدموع ومسحتهما بشعر راسها.

⁴⁴And having turned unto the woman, he said to Simon, `Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house; water for my feet thou didst not give, but this woman with tears did wet my feet, and with the hairs of her head did wipe;

⁴⁵قبلة لم تقبّلني. واما هي فمنذ دخلت لم تكف عن تقبيل رجليّ.

⁴⁵a kiss to me thou didst not give, but this woman, from what [time] I came in, did not cease kissing my feet;

⁴⁶بزيت لم تدهن راسي. واما هي فقد دهنت بالطيب رجليّ.

⁴⁶with oil my head thou didst not anoint, but this woman with ointment did anoint my feet;

⁴⁷من اجل ذلك اقول لك قد غفرت خطاياها الكثيرة لانها احبت كثيرا. والذي يغفر له قليل يحب قليلا.

⁴⁷therefore I say to thee, her many sins have been forgiven, because she did love much; but to whom little is forgiven, little he doth love.`

⁴⁸ثم قال لها مغفورة لك خطاياك.

⁴⁸And he said to her, `Thy sins have been forgiven;`

⁴⁹فابتدأ المتكئون معه يقولون في انفسهم من هذا الذي يغفر خطايا ايضا.

⁴⁹and those reclining with him (at meat) began to say within themselves, `Who is this, who also doth forgive sins?`

⁵⁰فقال للمرأة ايمانك قد خلّصك. اذهبي بسلام

⁵⁰and he said unto the woman, `Thy faith have saved thee, be going on to peace.`
