¹ثم دخل كفرناحوم ايضا بعد ايام فسمع انه في بيت.

¹And when he entered again into Capernaum after some days, it was noised that he was in the house.

²وللوقت اجتمع كثيرون حتى لم يعد يسع ولا ما حول الباب. فكان يخاطبهم بالكلمة.

²And many were gathered together, so that there was no longer room [for them], no, not even about the door: and he spake the word unto them.

³وجاءوا اليه مقدمين مفلوجا يحمله اربعة.

³And they come, bringing unto him a man sick of the palsy, borne of four.

⁴واذ لم يقدروا ان يقتربوا اليه من اجل الجمع كشفوا السقف حيث كان وبعدما نقبوه دلّوا السرير الذي كان المفلوج مضطجعا عليه.

⁴And when they could not come nigh unto him for the crowd, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed whereon the sick of the palsy lay.

⁵فلما رأى يسوع ايمانهم قال للمفلوج يا بنيّ مغفورة لك خطاياك.

⁵And Jesus seeing their faith saith unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins are forgiven.

⁶وكان قوم من الكتبة هناك جالسين يفكرون في قلوبهم

⁶But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,

⁷لماذا يتكلم هذا هكذا بتجاديف. من يقدر ان يغفر خطايا الا الله وحده.

⁷Why doth this man thus speak? he blasphemeth: who can forgive sins but one, [even] God?

⁸فللوقت شعر يسوع بروحه انهم يفكرون هكذا في انفسهم فقال لهم لماذا تفكرون بهذا في قلوبكم.

⁸And straightway Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, saith unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts?

⁹أيّما ايسر ان يقال للمفلوج مغفورة لك خطاياك. أم ان يقال قم واحمل سريرك وامش.

⁹Which is easier, to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins are forgiven; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk?

¹⁰ولكن لكي تعلموا ان لابن الانسان سلطانا على الارض ان يغفر الخطايا. قال للمفلوج

¹⁰But that ye may know that the Son of man hath authority on earth to forgive sins (he saith to the sick of the palsy),

¹¹لك اقول قم واحمل سريرك واذهب الى بيتك.

¹¹I say unto thee, Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thy house.

¹²فقام للوقت وحمل السرير وخرج قدام الكل حتى بهت الجميع ومجّدوا الله قائلين ما رأينا مثل هذا قط.

¹²And he arose, and straightway took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion.

¹³ثم خرج ايضا الى البحر. وأتى اليه كل الجمع فعلّمهم.

¹³And he went forth again by the sea side; and all the multitude resorted unto him, and he taught them.

¹⁴وفيما هو مجتاز رأى لاوي بن حلفى جالسا عند مكان الجباية. فقال له اتبعني. فقام وتبعه.

¹⁴And as he passed by, he saw Levi the [son] of Alphaeus sitting at the place of toll, and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him.

¹⁵وفيما هو متكئ في بيته كان كثيرون من العشارين والخطاة يتكئون مع يسوع وتلاميذه لانهم كانوا كثيرين وتبعوه.

¹⁵And it came to pass, that he was sitting at meat in his house, and many publicans and sinners sat down with Jesus and his disciples: for there were many, and they followed him.

¹⁶واما الكتبة والفريسيون فلما رأوه يأكل مع العشارين والخطاة قالوا لتلاميذه ما باله يأكل ويشرب مع العشارين والخطاة.

¹⁶And the scribes of the Pharisees, when they saw that he was eating with the sinners and publicans, said unto his disciples, [How is it] that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners?

¹⁷فلما سمع يسوع قال لهم. لا يحتاج الاصحاء الى طبيب بل المرضى. لم آت لادعو ابرارا بل خطاة الى التوبة.

¹⁷And when Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of a physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.

¹⁸وكان تلاميذ يوحنا والفريسيين يصومون. فجاءوا وقالوا له لماذا يصوم تلاميذ يوحنا والفريسيين واما تلاميذك فلا يصومون.

¹⁸And John's disciples and the Pharisees were fasting: and they come and say unto him, Why do John's disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not?

¹⁹فقال لهم يسوع هل يستطيع بنو العرس ان يصوموا والعريس معهم. ما دام العريس معهم لا يستطيعون ان يصوموا.

¹⁹And Jesus said unto them, Can the sons of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? as long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.

²⁰ولكن ستأتي ايام حين يرفع العريس عنهم فحينئذ يصومون في تلك الايام.

²⁰But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then will they fast in that day.

²¹ليس احد يخيط رقعة من قطعة جديدة على ثوب عتيق وإلا فالملء الجديد ياخذ من العتيق فيصير الخرق اردأ.

²¹No man seweth a piece of undressed cloth on an old garment: else that which should fill it up taketh from it, the new from the old, and a worse rent is made.

²²وليس احد يجعل خمرا جديدة في زقاق عتيقة لئلا تشق الخمر الجديدة الزقاق فالخمر تنصب والزقاق تتلف. بل يجعلون خمرا جديدة في زقاق جديدة

²²And no man putteth new wine into old wineskins; else the wine will burst the skins, and the wine perisheth, and the skins: but [they put] new wine into fresh wine-skins.

²³واجتاز في السبت بين الزروع. فابتدأ تلاميذه يقطفون السنابل وهم سائرون.

²³And it came to pass, that he was going on the sabbath day through the grainfields; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears.

²⁴فقال له الفريسيون. انظر. لماذا يفعلون في السبت ما لا يحل.

²⁴And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful?

²⁵فقال لهم أما قرأتم قط ما فعله داود حين احتاج وجاع هو والذين معه.

²⁵And he said unto them, Did ye never read what David did, when he had need, and was hungry, he, and they that were with him?

²⁶كيف دخل بيت الله في ايام ابيأثار رئيس الكهنة واكل خبز التقدمة الذي لا يحل اكله إلا للكهنة واعطى الذين كانوا معه ايضا.

²⁶How he entered into the house of God when Abiathar was high priest, and ate the showbread, which it is not lawful to eat save for the priests, and gave also to them that were with him?

²⁷ثم قال لهم السبت انما جعل لاجل الانسان لا الانسان لاجل السبت.

²⁷And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:

²⁸اذا ابن الانسان هو رب السبت ايضا

²⁸so that the Son of man is lord even of the sabbath.
