¹ثم أصعد يسوع الى البرية من الروح ليجرب من ابليس.

¹Then Jesus was led up to the wilderness by the Spirit, to be tempted by the Devil,

²فبعدما صام اربعين نهارا واربعين ليلة جاع اخيرا.

²and having fasted forty days and forty nights, afterwards he did hunger.

³فتقدم اليه المجرب وقال له ان كنت ابن الله فقل ان تصير هذه الحجارة خبزا.

³And the Tempter having come to him said, `If Son thou art of God — speak that these stones may become loaves.`

⁴فاجاب وقال مكتوب ليس بالخبز وحده يحيا الانسان بل بكل كلمة تخرج من فم الله.

⁴But he answering said, `It hath been written, Not upon bread alone doth man live, but upon every word coming forth from the mouth of God.`

⁵ثم اخذه ابليس الى المدينة المقدسة واوقفه على جناح الهيكل.

⁵Then doth the Devil take him to the [holy] city, and doth set him on the pinnacle of the temple,

⁶وقال له ان كنت ابن الله فاطرح نفسك الى اسفل. لانه مكتوب انه يوصي ملائكته بك. فعلى اياديهم يحملونك لكي لا تصدم بحجر رجلك.

⁶and saith to him, `If Son thou art of God — cast thyself down, for it hath been written, that, His messengers He shall charge concerning thee, and on hands they shall bear thee up, that thou mayest not dash on a stone thy foot.`

⁷قال له يسوع مكتوب ايضا لا تجرب الرب الهك.

⁷Jesus said to him again, `It hath been written, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.`

⁸ثم اخذه ايضا ابليس الى جبل عال جدا واراه جميع ممالك العالم ومجدها.

⁸Again doth the Devil take him to a very high mount, and doth shew to him all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them,

⁹وقال له اعطيك هذه جميعها ان خررت وسجدت لي.

⁹and saith to him, `All these to thee I will give, if falling down thou mayest bow to me.`

¹⁰حينئذ قال له يسوع اذهب يا شيطان. لانه مكتوب للرب الهك تسجد واياه وحده تعبد.

¹⁰Then saith Jesus to him, `Go — Adversary, for it hath been written, The Lord thy God thou shalt bow to, and Him only thou shalt serve.`

¹¹ثم تركه ابليس واذا ملائكة قد جاءت فصارت تخدمه

¹¹Then doth the Devil leave him, and lo, messengers came and were ministering to him.

¹²ولما سمع يسوع ان يوحنا اسلم انصرف الى الجليل.

¹²And Jesus having heard that John was delivered up, did withdraw to Galilee,

¹³وترك الناصرة واتى فسكن في كفرناحوم التي عند البحر في تخوم زبولون ونفتاليم.

¹³and having left Nazareth, having come, he dwelt at Capernaum that is by the sea, in the borders of Zebulun and Naphtalim,

¹⁴لكي يتم ما قيل باشعياء النبي القائل.

¹⁴that it might be fulfilled that was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,

¹⁵ارض زبولون وارض نفتاليم طريق البحر عبر الاردن جليل الامم.

¹⁵`Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations! —

¹⁶الشعب الجالس في ظلمة ابصر نورا عظيما. والجالسون في كورة الموت وظلاله اشرق عليهم نور.

¹⁶the people that is sitting in darkness saw a great light, and to those sitting in a region and shadow of death — light arose to them.`

¹⁷من ذلك الزمان ابتدأ يسوع يكرز ويقول توبوا لانه قد اقترب ملكوت السموات

¹⁷From that time began Jesus to proclaim and to say, `Reform ye, for come nigh hath the reign of the heavens.`

¹⁸واذ كان يسوع ماشيا عند بحر الجليل ابصر اخوين سمعان الذي يقال له بطرس واندراوس اخاه يلقيان شبكة في البحر فانهما كانا صيادين.

¹⁸And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brothers, Simon named Peter and Andrew his brother, casting a drag into the sea — for they were fishers —

¹⁹فقال لهما هلم ورائي فاجعلكما صيادي الناس.

¹⁹and he saith to them, `Come ye after me, and I will make you fishers of men,`

²⁰فللوقت تركا الشباك وتبعاه.

²⁰and they, immediately, having left the nets, did follow him.

²¹ثم اجتاز من هناك فرأى اخوين آخرين يعقوب بن زبدي ويوحنا اخاه في السفينة مع زبدي ابيهما يصلحان شباكهما فدعاهما.

²¹And having advanced thence, he saw other two brothers, James of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, refitting their nets, and he called them,

²²فللوقت تركا السفينة واباهما وتبعاه

²²and they, immediately, having left the boat and their father, did follow him.

²³وكان يسوع يطوف كل الجليل يعلم في مجامعهم ويكرز ببشارة الملكوت ويشفي كل مرض وكل ضعف في الشعب.

²³And Jesus was going about all Galilee teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the good news of the reign, and healing every disease, and every malady among the people,

²⁴فذاع خبره في جميع سورية. فاحضروا اليه جميع السقماء المصابين بامراض واوجاع مختلفة والمجانين والمصروعين والمفلوجين فشفاهم.

²⁴and his fame went forth to all Syria, and they brought to him all having ailments, pressed with manifold sicknesses and pains, and demoniacs, and lunatics, and paralytics, and he healed them.

²⁵فتبعته جموع كثيرة من الجليل والعشر المدن واورشليم واليهودية ومن عبر الاردن

²⁵And there followed him many multitudes from Galilee, and Decapolis, and Jerusalem, and Judea, and beyond the Jordan.
