¹فدخل السفينة واجتاز وجاء الى مدينته.

¹And having gone to the boat, he passed over, and came to his own city,

²واذا مفلوج يقدمونه اليه مطروحا على فراش. فلما رأى يسوع ايمانهم قال للمفلوج ثق يا بني. مغفورة لك خطاياك.

²and lo, they were bringing to him a paralytic, laid upon a couch, and Jesus having seen their faith, said to the paralytic, `Be of good courage, child, thy sins have been forgiven thee.`

³واذا قوم من الكتبة قد قالوا في انفسهم هذا يجدّف.

³And lo, certain of the scribes said within themselves, `This one doth speak evil.`

⁴فعلم يسوع افكارهم فقال لماذا تفكرون بالشر في قلوبكم.

⁴And Jesus, having known their thoughts, said, `Why think ye evil in your hearts?

⁵ايما ايسر ان يقال مغفورة لك خطاياك. ام ان يقال قم وامش.

⁵for which is easier? to say, The sins have been forgiven to thee; or to say, Rise, and walk?

⁶ولكن لكي تعلموا ان لابن الانسان سلطانا على الارض ان يغفر الخطايا. حينئذ قال للمفلوج. قم احمل فراشك واذهب الى بيتك.

⁶`But, that ye may know that the Son of Man hath power upon the earth to forgive sins — (then saith he to the paralytic) — having risen, take up thy couch, and go to thy house.`

⁷فقام ومضى الى بيته.

⁷And he, having risen, went to his house,

⁸فلما رأى الجموع تعجبوا ومجدوا الله الذي اعطى الناس سلطانا مثل هذا

⁸and the multitudes having seen, wondered, and glorified God, who did give such power to men.

⁹وفيما يسوع مجتاز من هناك رأى انسانا جالسا عند مكان الجباية اسمه متى. فقال له اتبعني. فقام وتبعه.

⁹And Jesus passing by thence, saw a man sitting at the tax-office, named Matthew, and saith to him, `Be following me,` and he, having risen, did follow him.

¹⁰وبينما هو متكئ في البيت اذا عشارون وخطاة كثيرون قد جاءوا واتكأوا مع يسوع وتلاميذه.

¹⁰And it came to pass, he reclining (at meat) in the house, that lo, many tax-gatherers and sinners having come, were lying (at meat) with Jesus and his disciples,

¹¹فلما نظر الفريسيون قالوا لتلاميذه لماذا ياكل معلمكم مع العشارين والخطاة.

¹¹and the Pharisees having seen, said to his disciples, `Wherefore with the tax-gatherers and sinners doth your teacher eat?`

¹²فلما سمع يسوع قال لهم لا يحتاج الاصحاء الى طبيب بل المرضى.

¹²And Jesus having heard, said to them, `They who are whole have no need of a physician, but they who are ill;

¹³فاذهبوا وتعلّموا ما هو. اني اريد رحمة لا ذبيحة. لاني لم آت لادعو ابرارا بل خطاة الى التوبة

¹³but having gone, learn ye what is, Kindness I will, and not sacrifice, for I did not come to call righteous men, but sinners, to reformation.`

¹⁴حينئذ اتى اليه تلاميذ يوحنا قائلين لماذا نصوم نحن والفريسيون كثيرا واما تلاميذك فلا يصومون.

¹⁴Then come to him do the disciples of John, saying, `Wherefore do we and the Pharisees fast much, and thy disciples fast not?`

¹⁵فقال لهم يسوع هل يستطيع بنو العرس ان ينوحوا ما دام العريس معهم. ولكن ستأتي ايام حين يرفع العريس عنهم فحينئذ يصومون.

¹⁵And Jesus said to them, `Can the sons of the bride-chamber mourn, so long as the bridegroom is with them? but days shall come when the bridegroom may be taken from them, and then they shall fast.

¹⁶ليس احد يجعل رقعة من قطعة جديدة على ثوب عتيق. لان الملء ياخذ من الثوب فيصير الخرق اردأ.

¹⁶`And no one doth put a patch of undressed cloth on an old garment, for its filling up doth take from the garment, and a worse rent is made.

¹⁷ولا يجعلون خمرا جديدة في زقاق عتيقة. لئلا تنشقّ الزقاق فالخمر تنصب والزقاق تتلف. بل يجعلون خمرا جديدة في زقاق جديدة فتحفظ جميعا

¹⁷`Nor do they put new wine into old skins, and if not — the skins burst, and the wine doth run out, and the skins are destroyed, but they put new wine into new skins, and both are preserved together.`

¹⁸وفيما هو يكلمهم بهذا اذا رئيس قد جاء فسجد له قائلا ان ابنتي الآن ماتت. لكن تعال وضع يدك عليها فتحيا.

¹⁸While he is speaking these things to them, lo, a ruler having come, was bowing to him, saying that `My daughter just now died, but, having come, lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.`

¹⁹فقام يسوع وتبعه هو وتلاميذه.

¹⁹And Jesus having risen, did follow him, also his disciples,

²⁰واذا امرأة نازفة دم منذ اثنتي عشرة سنة قد جاءت من ورائه ومسّت هدب ثوبه.

²⁰and lo, a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, having come to him behind, did touch the fringe of his garments,

²¹لانها قالت في نفسها ان مسست ثوبه فقط شفيت.

²¹for she said within herself, `If only I may touch his garment, I shall be saved.`

²²فالتفت يسوع وابصرها فقال ثقي يا ابنة. ايمانك قد شفاك فشفيت المرأة من تلك الساعة.

²²And Jesus having turned about, and having seen her, said, `Be of good courage, daughter, thy faith hath saved thee,` and the woman was saved from that hour.

²³ولما جاء يسوع الى بيت الرئيس ونظر المزمرين والجمع يضجون

²³And Jesus having come to the house of the ruler, and having seen the minstrels and the multitude making tumult,

²⁴قال لهم تنحوا. فان الصبية لم تمت لكنها نائمة. فضحكوا عليه.

²⁴he saith to them, `Withdraw, for the damsel did not die, but doth sleep,` and they were deriding him;

²⁵فلما اخرج الجمع دخل وامسك بيدها. فقامت الصبية.

²⁵but, when the multitude was put forth, having gone in, he took hold of her hand, and the damsel arose,

²⁶فخرج ذلك الخبر الى تلك الارض كلها

²⁶and the fame of this went forth to all the land.

²⁷وفيما يسوع مجتاز من هناك تبعه اعميان يصرخان ويقولان ارحمنا يا ابن داود.

²⁷And Jesus passing on thence, two blind men followed him, calling and saying, `Deal kindly with us, Son of David.`

²⁸ولما جاء الى البيت تقدم اليه الاعميان. فقال لهما يسوع أتؤمنان اني اقدر ان افعل هذا. قالا له نعم يا سيد.

²⁸And he having come to the house, the blind men came to him, and Jesus saith to them, `Believe ye that I am able to do this?` They say to him, `Yes, sir.`

²⁹حينئذ لمس اعينهما قائلا بحسب ايمانكما ليكن لكما.

²⁹Then touched he their eyes, saying, `According to your faith let it be to you,`

³⁰فانفتحت اعينهما. فانتهرهما يسوع قائلا انظرا لا يعلم احد.

³⁰and their eyes were opened, and Jesus strictly charged them, saying, `See, let no one know;`

³¹ولكنهما خرجا واشاعاه في تلك الارض كلها

³¹but they, having gone forth, did spread his fame in all that land.

³²وفيما هما خارجان اذا انسان اخرس مجنون قدموه اليه.

³²And as they are coming forth, lo, they brought to him a man dumb, a demoniac,

³³فلما اخرج الشيطان تكلم الاخرس. فتعجب الجموع قائلين لم يظهر قط مثل هذا في اسرائيل.

³³and the demon having been cast out, the dumb spake, and the multitude did wonder, saying that `It was never so seen in Israel:`

³⁴اما الفريسيون فقالوا برئيس الشياطين يخرج الشياطين

³⁴but the Pharisees said, `By the ruler of the demons he doth cast out the demons.`

³⁵وكان يسوع يطوف المدن كلها والقرى يعلّم في مجامعها. ويكرز ببشارة الملكوت. ويشفي كل مرض وكل ضعف في الشعب.

³⁵And Jesus was going up and down all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the good news of the reign, and healing every sickness and every malady among the people.

³⁶ولما رأى الجموع تحنن عليهم اذ كانوا منزعجين ومنطرحين كغنم لا راعي لها.

³⁶And having seen the multitudes, he was moved with compassion for them, that they were faint and cast aside, as sheep not having a shepherd,

³⁷حينئذ قال لتلاميذه الحصاد كثير ولكن الفعلة قليلون.

³⁷then saith he to his disciples, `The harvest indeed [is] abundant, but the workmen few;

³⁸فاطلبوا من رب الحصاد ان يرسل فعلة الى حصاده

³⁸beseech ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he may put forth workmen to His harvest.`
