¹واذ كان الجمع يزدحم عليه ليسمع كلمة الله كان واقفا عند بحيرة جنيسارت.

¹Now it came to pass, while the multitude pressed upon him and heard the word of God, that he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret;

²فرأى سفينتين واقفتين عند البحيرة والصيادون قد خرجوا منهما وغسلوا الشباك.

²and he saw two boats standing by the lake: but the fishermen had gone out of them, and were washing their nets.

³فدخل احدى السفينتين التي كانت لسمعان وسأله ان يبعد قليلا عن البر. ثم جلس وصار يعلّم الجموع من السفينة.

³And he entered into one of the boats, which was Simon's, and asked him to put out a little from the land. And he sat down and taught the multitudes out of the boat.

⁴ولما فرغ من الكلام قال لسمعان ابعد الى العمق وألقوا شباككم للصيد.

⁴And when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Put out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.

⁵فاجاب سمعان وقال له يا معلّم قد تعبنا الليل كله ولم نأخذ شيئا ولكن على كلمتك القي الشبكة.

⁵And Simon answered and said, Master, we toiled all night, and took nothing: but at thy word I will let down the nets.

⁶ولما فعلوا ذلك امسكوا سمكا كثيرا جدا فصارت شبكتهم تتخرق.

⁶And when they had done this, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes; and their nets were breaking;

⁷فاشاروا الى شركائهم الذين في السفينة الاخرى ان يأتوا ويساعدوهم. فأتوا وملأوا السفينتين حتى اخذتا في الغرق.

⁷and they beckoned unto their partners in the other boat, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink.

⁸فلما رأى سمعان بطرس ذلك خرّ عند ركبتيّ يسوع قائلا اخرج من سفينتي يا رب لاني رجل خاطئ.

⁸But Simon Peter, when he saw it, fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.

⁹اذ اعترته وجميع الذين معه دهشة على صيد السمك الذي اخذوه.

⁹For he was amazed, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken;

¹⁰وكذلك ايضا يعقوب ويوحنا ابنا زبدي اللذان كانا شريكي سمعان. فقال يسوع لسمعان لا تخف. من الآن تكون تصطاد الناس.

¹⁰and so were also James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men.

¹¹ولما جاءوا بالسفينتين الى البر تركوا كل شيء وتبعوه

¹¹And when they had brought their boats to land, they left all, and followed him.

¹²وكان في احدى المدن فاذا رجل مملوء برصا. فلما رأى يسوع خرّ على وجهه وطلب اليه قائلا يا سيد ان اردت تقدر ان تطهرني.

¹²And it came to pass, while he was in one of the cities, behold, a man full of leprosy: and when he saw Jesus, he fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

¹³فمدّ يده ولمسه قائلا اريد فاطهر. وللوقت ذهب عنه البرص.

¹³And he stretched forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou made clean. And straightway the leprosy departed from him.

¹⁴فاوصاه ان لا يقول لاحد بل امض وأر نفسك للكاهن وقدم عن تطهيرك كما أمر موسى شهادة لهم.

¹⁴And he charged him to tell no man: but go thy way, and show thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, according as Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

¹⁵فذاع الخبر عنه اكثر. فاجتمع جموع كثيرة لكي يسمعوا ويشفوا به من امراضهم.

¹⁵But so much the more went abroad the report concerning him: and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed of their infirmities.

¹⁶واما هو فكان يعتزل في البراري ويصلّي

¹⁶But he withdrew himself in the deserts, and prayed.

¹⁷وفي احدى الايام كان يعلم وكان فريسيون ومعلمون للناموس جالسين وهم قد أتوا من كل قرية من الجليل واليهودية واورشليم. وكانت قوة الرب لشفائهم.

¹⁷And it came to pass on one of those days, that he was teaching; and there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, who were come out of every village of Galilee and Judaea and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was with him to heal.

¹⁸واذا برجال يحملون على فراش انسانا مفلوجا وكانوا يطلبون ان يدخلوا به ويضعوه امامه.

¹⁸And behold, men bring on a bed a man that was palsied: and they sought to bring him in, and to lay him before him.

¹⁹ولما لم يجدوا من اين يدخلون به لسبب الجمع صعدوا على السطح ودلوه مع الفراش من بين الاجر الى الوسط قدام يسوع.

¹⁹And not finding by what [way] they might bring him in because of the multitude, they went up to the housetop, and let him down through the tiles with his couch into the midst before Jesus.

²⁰فلما رأى ايمانهم قال له ايها الانسان مغفورة لك خطاياك.

²⁰And seeing their faith, he said, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.

²¹فابتدأ الكتبة والفريسيون يفكرون قائلين من هذا الذي يتكلم بتجاديف. من يقدر ان يغفر خطايا الا الله وحده.

²¹And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this that speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?

²²فشعر يسوع بافكارهم واجاب وقال لهم ماذا تفكرون في قلوبكم.

²²But Jesus perceiving their reasonings, answered and said unto them, Why reason ye in your hearts?

²³أيما ايسر ان يقال مغفورة لك خطاياك. أم ان يقال قم وامش.

²³Which is easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say, Arise and walk?

²⁴ولكن لكي تعلموا ان لابن الانسان سلطانا على الارض ان يغفر الخطايا قال للمفلوج لك اقول قم واحمل فراشك واذهب الى بيتك.

²⁴But that ye may know that the Son of man hath authority on earth to forgive sins (he said unto him that was palsied), I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go unto thy house.

²⁵ففي الحال قام امامهم وحمل ما كان مضطجعا عليه ومضى الى بيته وهو يمجد الله.

²⁵And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and departed to his house, glorifying God.

²⁶فأخذت الجميع حيرة ومجدوا الله وامتلأوا خوفا قائلين اننا قد رأينا اليوم عجائب

²⁶And amazement took hold on all, and they glorified God; and they were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to-day.

²⁷وبعد هذا خرج فنظر عشارا اسمه لاوي جالسا عند مكان الجباية. فقال له اتبعني.

²⁷And after these things he went forth, and beheld a publican, named Levi, sitting at the place of toll, and said unto him, Follow me.

²⁸فترك كل شيء وقام وتبعه.

²⁸And he forsook all, and rose up and followed him.

²⁹وصنع له لاوي ضيافة كبيرة في بيته. والذين كانوا متكئين معهم كانوا جمعا كثيرا من عشارين وآخرين.

²⁹And Levi made him a great feast in his house: and there was a great multitude of publicans and of others that were sitting at meat with them.

³⁰فتذمر كتبتهم والفريسيون على تلاميذه قائلين لماذا تاكلون وتشربون مع عشارين وخطاة.

³⁰And the Pharisees and their scribes murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with the publicans and sinners?

³¹فاجاب يسوع وقال لهم لا يحتاج الاصحاء الى طبيب بل المرضى.

³¹And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are in health have no need of a physician; but they that are sick.

³²لم آت لأدعو ابرارا بل خطاة الى التوبة

³²I am not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.

³³وقالوا له لماذا يصوم تلاميذ يوحنا كثيرا ويقدمون طلبات وكذلك تلاميذ الفريسيين ايضا. واما تلاميذك فيأكلون ويشربون.

³³And they said unto him, The disciples of John fast often, and make supplications; likewise also the [disciples] of the Pharisees; but thine eat and drink.

³⁴فقال لهم أتقدرون ان تجعلوا بني العرس يصومون ما دام العريس معهم.

³⁴And Jesus said unto them, Can ye make the sons of the bride-chamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them?

³⁵ولكن ستأتي ايام حين يرفع العريس عنهم فحينئذ يصومون في تلك الايام.

³⁵But the days will come; and when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, then will they fast in those days.

³⁶وقال لهم ايضا مثلا. ليس احد يضع رقعة من ثوب جديد على ثوب عتيق. وإلا فالجديد يشقّه والعتيق لا توافقه الرقعة التي من الجديد.

³⁶And he spake also a parable unto them: No man rendeth a piece from a new garment and putteth it upon an old garment; else he will rend the new, and also the piece from the new will not agree with the old.

³⁷وليس احد يجعل خمرا جديدة في زقاق عتيقة لئلا تشق الخمر الجديدة الزقاق فهي تهرق والزقاق تتلف.

³⁷And no man putteth new wine into old wine-skins; else the new wine will burst the skins, and itself will be spilled, and the skins will perish.

³⁸بل يجعلون خمرا جديدة في زقاق جديدة فتحفظ جميعا.

³⁸But new wine must be put into fresh wine-skins.

³⁹وليس احد اذا شرب العتيق يريد للوقت الجديد لانه يقول العتيق اطيب

³⁹And no man having drunk old [wine] desireth new; for he saith, The old is good.
