¹وعلى اثر ذلك كان يسير في مدينة وقرية يكرز ويبشر بملكوت الله ومعه الاثنا عشر

¹And it came to pass thereafter, that he was going through every city and village, preaching and proclaiming good news of the reign of God, and the twelve [are] with him,

²وبعض النساء كنّ قد شفين من ارواح شريرة وامراض. مريم التي تدعى المجدلية التي خرج منها سبعة شياطين

²and certain women, who were healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary who is called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone forth,

³ويونّا امرأة خوزي وكيل هيرودس وسوسنة وأخر كثيرات كنّ يخدمنه من اموالهنّ

³and Joanna wife of Chuza, steward of Herod, and Susanna, and many others, who were ministering to him from their substance.

⁴فلما اجتمع جمع كثير ايضا من الذين جاءوا اليه من كل مدينة قال بمثل

⁴And a great multitude having gathered, and those who from city and city were coming unto him, he spake by a simile:

⁵خرج الزارع ليزرع زرعه. وفيما هو يزرع سقط بعض على الطريق فانداس واكلته طيور السماء.

⁵`The sower went forth to sow his seed, and in his sowing some indeed fell beside the way, and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the heaven did devour it.

⁶وسقط آخر على الصخر فلما نبت جف لانه لم تكن له رطوبة.

⁶`And other fell upon the rock, and having sprung up, it did wither, through not having moisture.

⁷وسقط آخر في وسط الشوك. فنبت معه الشوك وخنقه.

⁷`And other fell amidst the thorns, and the thorns having sprung up with it, did choke it.

⁸وسقط آخر في الارض الصالحة فلما نبت صنع ثمرا مئة ضعف. قال هذا ونادى من له اذنان للسمع فليسمع

⁸`And other fell upon the good ground, and having sprung up, it made fruit an hundred fold.` These things saying, he was calling, `He having ears to hear — let him hear.`

⁹فسأله تلاميذه قائلين ما عسى ان يكون هذا المثل.

⁹And his disciples were questioning him, saying, `What may this simile be?`

¹⁰فقال. لكم قد أعطي ان تعرفوا اسرار ملكوت الله. واما للباقين فبامثال حتى انهم مبصرين لا يبصرون وسامعين لا يفهمون.

¹⁰And he said, `To you it hath been given to know the secrets of the reign of God, and to the rest in similes; that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.

¹¹وهذا هو المثل. الزرع هو كلام الله.

¹¹`And this is the simile: The seed is the word of God,

¹²والذين على الطريق هم الذين يسمعون ثم يأتي ابليس وينزع الكلمة من قلوبهم لئلا يؤمنوا فيخلصوا.

¹²and those beside the way are those hearing, then cometh the Devil, and taketh up the word from their heart, lest having believed, they may be saved.

¹³والذين على الصخر هم الذين متى سمعوا يقبلون الكلمة بفرح. وهؤلاء ليس لهم اصل فيؤمنون الى حين وفي وقت التجربة يرتدون.

¹³`And those upon the rock: They who, when they may hear, with joy do receive the word, and these have no root, who for a time believe, and in time of temptation fall away.

¹⁴والذي سقط بين الشوك هم الذين يسمعون ثم يذهبون فيختنقون من هموم الحياة وغناها ولذّاتها ولا ينضجون ثمرا.

¹⁴`And that which fell to the thorns: These are they who have heard, and going forth, through anxieties, and riches, and pleasures of life, are choked, and bear not to completion.

¹⁵والذي في الارض الجيدة هو الذين يسمعون الكلمة فيحفظونها في قلب جيد صالح ويثمرون بالصبر

¹⁵`And that in the good ground: These are they, who in an upright and good heart, having heard the word, do retain [it], and bear fruit in continuance.

¹⁶وليس احد يوقد سراجا ويغطيه باناء او يضعه تحت سرير بل يضعه على منارة لينظر الداخلون النور.

¹⁶`And no one having lighted a lamp doth cover it with a vessel, or under a couch doth put [it]; but upon a lamp-stand he doth put [it], that those coming in may see the light,

¹⁷لانه ليس خفي لا يظهر ولا مكتوم لا يعلم ويعلن.

¹⁷for nothing is secret, that shall not become manifest, nor hid, that shall not be known, and become manifest.

¹⁸فانظروا كيف تسمعون. لان من له سيعطى. ومن ليس له فالذي يظنه له يؤخذ منه

¹⁸`See, therefore, how ye hear, for whoever may have, there shall be given to him, and whoever may not have, also what he seemeth to have, shall be taken from him.`

¹⁹وجاء اليه امه واخوته. ولم يقدروا ان يصلوا اليه لسبب الجمع.

¹⁹And there came unto him his mother and brethren, and they were not able to get to him because of the multitude,

²⁰فاخبروه قائلين امك واخوتك واقفون خارجا يريدون ان يروك.

²⁰and it was told him, saying, `Thy mother and thy brethren do stand without, wishing to see thee;`

²¹فاجاب وقال لهم امي واخوتي هم الذين يسمعون كلمة الله ويعملون بها

²¹and he answering said unto them, `My mother and my brethren! they are those who the word of God are hearing, and doing.`

²²وفي احد الايام دخل سفينة هو وتلاميذه. فقال لهم لنعبر الى عبر البحيرة. فاقلعوا.

²²And it came to pass, on one of the days, that he himself went into a boat with his disciples, and he said unto them, `We may go over to the other side of the lake;` and they set forth,

²³وفيما هم سائرون نام. فنزل نوء ريح في البحيرة. وكانوا يمتلئون ماء وصاروا في خطر.

²³and as they are sailing he fell deeply asleep, and there came down a storm of wind to the lake, and they were filling, and were in peril.

²⁴فتقدموا وايقظوه قائلين يا معلّم يا معلّم اننا نهلك. فقام وانتهر الريح وتموّج الماء فانتهيا وصار هدوء.

²⁴And having come near, they awoke him, saying, `Master, master, we perish;` and he, having arisen, rebuked the wind and the raging of the water, and they ceased, and there came a calm,

²⁵ثم قال لهم اين ايمانكم. فخافوا وتعجبوا قائلين فيما بينهم من هو هذا. فانه يأمر الرياح ايضا والماء فتطيعه

²⁵and he said to them, `Where is your faith?` and they being afraid did wonder, saying unto one another, `Who, then, is this, that even the winds he doth command, and the water, and they obey him?`

²⁶وساروا الى كورة الجدريين التي هي مقابل الجليل.

²⁶And they sailed down to the region of the Gadarenes, that is over-against Galilee,

²⁷ولما خرج الى الارض استقبله رجل من المدينة كان فيه شياطين منذ زمان طويل وكان لا يلبس ثوبا ولا يقيم في بيت بل في القبور.

²⁷and he having gone forth upon the land, there met him a certain man, out of the city, who had demons for a long time, and with a garment was not clothed, and in a house was not abiding, but in the tombs,

²⁸فلما رأى يسوع صرخ وخرّ له وقال بصوت عظيم ما لي ولك يا يسوع ابن الله العلي. اطلب منك ان لا تعذبني.

²⁸and having seen Jesus, and having cried out, he fell before him, and with a loud voice, said, `What — to me and to thee, Jesus, Son of God Most High? I beseech thee, mayest thou not afflict me!`

²⁹لانه امر الروح النجس ان يخرج من الانسان. لانه منذ زمان كثير كان يخطفه. وقد ربط بسلاسل وقيود محروسا. وكان يقطع الربط ويساق من الشيطان الى البراري.

²⁹For he commanded the unclean spirit to come forth from the man, for many times it had caught him, and he was being bound with chains and fetters — guarded, and breaking asunder the bonds he was driven by the demons to the deserts.

³⁰فسأله يسوع قائلا ما اسمك. فقال لجئون. لان شياطين كثيرة دخلت فيه.

³⁰And Jesus questioned him, saying, `What is thy name?` and he said, `Legion,` (because many demons were entered into him,)

³¹وطلب اليه ان لا يأمرهم بالذهاب الى الهاوية.

³¹and he was calling on him, that he may not command them to go away to the abyss,

³²وكان هناك قطيع خنازير كثيرة ترعى في الجبل. فطلبوا اليه ان يأذن لهم بالدخول فيها. فأذن لهم.

³²and there was there a herd of many swine feeding in the mountain, and they were calling on him, that he might suffer them to enter into these, and he suffered them,

³³فخرجت الشياطين من الانسان ودخلت في الخنازير. فاندفع القطيع من على الجرف الى البحيرة واختنق.

³³and the demons having gone forth from the man, did enter into the swine, and the herd rushed down the steep to the lake, and were choked.

³⁴فلما رأى الرعاة ما كان هربوا وذهبوا واخبروا في المدينة وفي الضياع.

³⁴And those feeding [them], having seen what was come to pass, fled, and having gone, told [it] to the city, and to the fields;

³⁵فخرجوا ليروا ما جرى. وجاءوا الى يسوع فوجدوا الانسان الذي كانت الشياطين قد خرجت منه لابسا وعاقلا جالسا عند قدمي يسوع فخافوا.

³⁵and they came forth to see what was come to pass, and they came unto Jesus, and found the man sitting, out of whom the demons had gone forth, clothed, and right-minded, at the feet of Jesus, and they were afraid;

³⁶فاخبرهم ايضا الذين رأوا كيف خلص المجنون.

³⁶and those also having seen [it], told them how the demoniac was saved.

³⁷فطلب اليه كل جمهور كورة الجدريين ان يذهب عنهم. لانه اعتراهم خوف عظيم. فدخل السفينة ورجع.

³⁷And the whole multitude of the region of the Gadarenes round about asked him to go away from them, because with great fear they were pressed, and he having entered into the boat, did turn back.

³⁸اما الرجل الذي خرجت منه الشياطين فطلب اليه ان يكون معه ولكن يسوع صرفه قائلا

³⁸And the man from whom the demons had gone forth was beseeching of him to be with him, and Jesus sent him away, saying,

³⁹ارجع الى بيتك وحدث بكم صنع الله بك. فمضى وهو ينادي في المدينة كلها بكم صنع به يسوع

³⁹`Turn back to thy house, and tell how great things God did to thee;` and he went away through all the city proclaiming how great things Jesus did to him.

⁴⁰ولما رجع يسوع قبله الجمع لانهم كانوا جميعهم ينتظرونه.

⁴⁰And it came to pass, in the turning back of Jesus, the multitude received him, for they were all looking for him,

⁴¹واذا رجل اسمه يايروس قد جاء. وكان رئيس المجمع. فوقع عند قدمي يسوع وطلب اليه ان يدخل بيته.

⁴¹and lo, there came a man, whose name [is] Jairus, and he was a chief of the synagogue, and having fallen at the feet of Jesus, was calling on him to come to his house;

⁴²لانه كان له بنت وحيدة لها نحو اثنتي عشرة سنة وكانت في حال الموت. ففيما هو منطلق زحمته الجموع

⁴²because he had an only daughter about twelve years [old], and she was dying. And in his going away, the multitudes were thronging him,

⁴³وامرأة بنزف دم منذ اثنتي عشرة سنة وقد انفقت كل معيشتها للاطباء ولم تقدر ان تشفى من احد

⁴³and a woman, having an issue of blood for twelve years, who, having spent on physicians all her living, was not able to be healed by any,

⁴⁴جاءت من ورائه ولمست هدب ثوبه. ففي الحال وقف نزف دمها.

⁴⁴having come near behind, touched the fringe of his garment, and presently the issue of her blood stood.

⁴⁵فقال يسوع من الذي لمسني. واذ كان الجميع ينكرون قال بطرس والذين معه يا معلّم الجموع يضيّقون عليك ويزحمونك وتقول من الذي لمسني.

⁴⁵And Jesus said, `Who [is] it that touched me?` and all denying, Peter and those with him said, `Master, the multitudes press thee, and throng [thee], and thou dost say, Who [is] it that touched me!`

⁴⁶فقال يسوع قد لمسني واحد لاني علمت ان قوة قد خرجت مني.

⁴⁶And Jesus said, `Some one did touch me, for I knew power having gone forth from me.`

⁴⁷فلما رأت المرأة انها لم تختف جاءت مرتعدة وخرّت له واخبرته قدام جميع الشعب لاي سبب لمسته وكيف برئت في الحال.

⁴⁷And the woman, having seen that she was not hid, trembling, came, and having fallen before him, for what cause she touched him declared to him before all the people, and how she was healed presently;

⁴⁸فقال لها ثقي يا ابنة. ايمانك قد شفاك. اذهبي بسلام

⁴⁸and he said to her, `Take courage, daughter, thy faith hath saved thee, be going on to peace.`

⁴⁹وبينما هو يتكلم جاء واحد من دار رئيس المجمع قائلا له قد ماتت ابنتك. لا تتعب المعلّم.

⁴⁹While he is yet speaking, there doth come a certain one from the chief of the synagogue`s [house], saying to him — `Thy daughter hath died, harass not the Teacher;`

⁵⁰فسمع يسوع واجابه قائلا لا تخف. آمن فقط فهي تشفى.

⁵⁰and Jesus having heard, answered him, saying, `Be not afraid, only believe, and she shall be saved.`

⁵¹فلما جاء الى البيت لم يدع احدا يدخل الا بطرس ويعقوب ويوحنا وابا الصبيه وامها.

⁵¹And having come to the house, he suffered no one to go in, except Peter, and James, and John, and the father of the child, and the mother;

⁵²وكان الجميع يبكون عليها ويلطمون. فقال لا تبكوا. لم تمت لكنها نائمة.

⁵²and they were all weeping, and beating themselves for her, and he said, `Weep not, she did not die, but doth sleep;

⁵³فضحكوا عليه عارفين انها ماتت.

⁵³and they were deriding him, knowing that she did die;

⁵⁴فاخرج الجمع خارجا وامسك بيدها ونادى قائلا يا صبية قومي.

⁵⁴and he having put all forth without, and having taken hold of her hand, called, saying, `Child, arise;`

⁵⁵فرجعت روحها وقامت في الحال. فامر ان تعطى لتاكل.

⁵⁵and her spirit came back, and she arose presently, and he directed that there be given to her to eat;

⁵⁶فبهت والداها. فاوصاهما ان لا يقولا لاحد عما كان

⁵⁶and her parents were amazed, but he charged them to say to no one what was come to pass.
