¹في تلك الايام اذ كان الجمع كثيرا جدا ولم يكن لهم ما يأكلون دعا يسوع تلاميذه وقال لهم

¹In those days the multitude being very great, and not having what they may eat, Jesus having called near his disciples, saith to them,

²اني اشفق على الجمع لان الآن لهم ثلاثة ايام يمكثون معي وليس لهم ما يأكلون.

²`I have compassion upon the multitude, because now three days they do continue with me, and they have not what they may eat;

³وان صرفتهم الى بيوتهم صائمين يخورون في الطريق. لان قوما منهم جاءوا من بعيد.

³and if I shall let them away fasting to their home, they will faint in the way, for certain of them are come from far.`

⁴فاجابه تلاميذه. من اين يستطيع احد ان يشبع هؤلاء خبزا هنا في البرية.

⁴And his disciples answered him, `Whence shall any one be able these here to feed with bread in a wilderness?`

⁵فسألهم كم عندكم من الخبز. فقالوا سبعة.

⁵And he was questioning them, `How many loaves have ye?` and they said, `Seven.`

⁶فامر الجمع ان يتكئوا على الارض. واخذ السبع خبزات وشكر وكسر واعطى تلاميذه ليقدموا فقدموا الى الجمع.

⁶And he commanded the multitude to sit down upon the ground, and having taken the seven loaves, having given thanks, he brake, and was giving to his disciples that they may set before [them]; and they did set before the multitude.

⁷وكان معهم قليل من صغار السمك. فبارك وقال ان يقدموا هذه ايضا.

⁷And they had a few small fishes, and having blessed, he said to set them also before [them];

⁸فاكلوا وشبعوا. ثم رفعوا فضلات الكسر سبعة سلال.

⁸and they did eat and were filled, and they took up that which was over of broken pieces — seven baskets;

⁹وكان الآكلون نحو اربعة آلاف. ثم صرفهم.

⁹and those eating were about four thousand. And he let them away,

¹⁰وللوقت دخل السفينة مع تلاميذه وجاء الى نواحي دلمانوثة

¹⁰and immediately having entered into the boat with his disciples, he came to the parts of Dalmanutha,

¹¹فخرج الفريسيون وابتدأوا يحاورونه طالبين منه آية من السماء لكي يجربوه.

¹¹and the Pharisees came forth, and began to dispute with him, seeking from him a sign from the heaven, tempting him;

¹²فتنهد بروحه وقال لماذا يطلب هذا الجيل آية. الحق اقول لكم لن يعطى هذا الجيل آية

¹²and having sighed deeply in his spirit, he saith, `Why doth this generation seek after a sign? Verily I say to you, no sign shall be given to this generation.`

¹³ثم تركهم ودخل ايضا السفينة ومضى الى العبر.

¹³And having left them, having entered again into the boat, he went away to the other side;

¹⁴ونسوا ان يأخذوا خبزا ولم يكن معهم في السفينة الا رغيف واحد.

¹⁴and they forgot to take loaves, and except one loaf they had nothing with them in the boat,

¹⁵واوصاهم قائلا انظروا وتحرزوا من خمير الفريسيين وخمير هيرودس.

¹⁵and he was charging them, saying, `Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod,`

¹⁶ففكروا قائلين بعضهم لبعض ليس عندنا خبز.

¹⁶and they were reasoning with one another, saying — `Because we have no loaves.`

¹⁷فعلم يسوع وقال لهم لماذا تفكرون ان ليس عندكم خبز. ألا تشعرون بعد ولا تفهمون. أحتى الآن قلوبكم غليظة.

¹⁷And Jesus having known, saith to them, `Why do ye reason, because ye have no loaves? do ye not yet perceive, nor understand, yet have ye your heart hardened?

¹⁸ألكم اعين ولا تبصرون ولكم آذان ولا تسمعون ولا تذكرون.

¹⁸Having eyes, do ye not see? and having ears, do ye not hear? and do ye not remember?

¹⁹حين كسّرت الارغفة الخمسة للخمسة الآلاف كم قفة مملوءة كسرا رفعتم. قالوا له اثنتي عشرة.

¹⁹When the five loaves I did brake to the five thousand, how many hand-baskets full of broken pieces took ye up?` they say to him, `Twelve.`

²⁰وحين السبعة للاربعة الآلاف كم سل كسر مملوّا رفعتم. قالوا سبعة.

²⁰`And when the seven to the four thousand, how many hand-baskets full of broken pieces took ye up?` and they said, `Seven.`

²¹فقال لهم كيف لا تفهمون

²¹And he said to them, `How do ye not understand?`

²²وجاء الى بيت صيدا. فقدموا اليه اعمى وطلبوا اليه ان يلمسه.

²²And he cometh to Bethsaida, and they bring to him one blind, and call upon him that he may touch him,

²³فاخذ بيد الاعمى واخرجه الى خارج القرية وتفل في عينيه ووضع يديه عليه وسأله هل ابصر شيئا.

²³and having taken the hand of the blind man, he led him forth without the village, and having spit on his eyes, having put [his] hands on him, he was questioning him if he doth behold anything:

²⁴فتطلع وقال ابصر الناس كاشجار يمشون.

²⁴and he, having looked up, said, `I behold men, as I see trees, walking.`

²⁵ثم وضع يديه ايضا على عينيه وجعله يتطلع فعاد صحيحا وابصر كل انسان جليّا.

²⁵Afterwards again he put [his] hands on his eyes, and made him look up, and he was restored, and discerned all things clearly,

²⁶فارسله الى بيته قائلا لا تدخل القرية ولا تقل لاحد في القرية

²⁶and he sent him away to his house, saying, `Neither to the village mayest thou go, nor tell [it] to any in the village.`

²⁷ثم خرج يسوع وتلاميذه الى قرى قيصرية فيلبس. وفي الطريق سأل تلاميذه قائلا لهم من يقول الناس اني انا.

²⁷And Jesus went forth, and his disciples, to the villages of Cesarea Philippi, and in the way he was questioning his disciples, saying to them, `Who do men say me to be?`

²⁸فاجابوا. يوحنا المعمدان. وآخرون ايليا. وآخرون واحد من الانبياء.

²⁸And they answered, `John the Baptist, and others Elijah, but others one of the prophets.`

²⁹فقال لهم وانتم من تقولون اني انا. فاجاب بطرس وقال له انت المسيح.

²⁹And he saith to them, `And ye — who do ye say me to be?` and Peter answering saith to him, `Thou art the Christ.`

³⁰فانتهرهم كي لا يقولوا لاحد عنه

³⁰And he strictly charged them that they may tell no one about it,

³¹وابتدأ يعلّمهم ان ابن الانسان ينبغي ان يتألم كثيرا ويرفض من الشيوخ ورؤساء الكهنة والكتبة ويقتل. وبعد ثلاثة ايام يقوم.

³¹and began to teach them, that it behoveth the Son of Man to suffer many things, and to be rejected by the elders, and chief priests, and scribes, and to be killed, and after three days to rise again;

³²وقال القول علانية. فاخذه بطرس اليه وابتدأ ينتهره.

³²and openly he was speaking the word. And Peter having taken him aside, began to rebuke him,

³³فالتفت وابصر تلاميذه فانتهر بطرس قائلا اذهب عني يا شيطان. لانك لا تهتم بما لله لكن بما للناس

³³and he, having turned, and having looked on his disciples, rebuked Peter, saying, `Get behind me, Adversary, because thou dost not mind the things of God, but the things of men.`

³⁴ودعا الجمع مع تلاميذه وقال لهم من اراد ان يأتي ورائي فلينكر نفسه ويحمل صليبه ويتبعني.

³⁴And having called near the multitude, with his disciples, he said to them, `Whoever doth will to come after me — let him disown himself, and take up his cross, and follow me;

³⁵فان من اراد ان يخلّص نفسه يهلكها. ومن يهلك نفسه من اجلي ومن اجل الانجيل فهو يخلّصها.

³⁵for whoever may will to save his life shall lose it; and whoever may lose his life for my sake and for the good news` sake, he shall save it;

³⁶لانه ماذا ينتفع الانسان لو ربح العالم كله وخسر نفسه.

³⁶for what shall it profit a man, if he may gain the whole world, and forfeit his life?

³⁷او ماذا يعطي الانسان فداء عن نفسه.

³⁷Or what shall a man give as an exchange for his life?

³⁸لان من استحى بي وبكلامي في هذا الجيل الفاسق الخاطئ فان ابن الانسان يستحي به متى جاء بمجد ابيه مع الملائكة القديسين

³⁸for whoever may be ashamed of me, and of my words, in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man also shall be ashamed of him, when he may come in the glory of his Father, with the holy messengers.`
