¹وخرج من هناك وجاء الى وطنه وتبعه تلاميذه.

¹And he went out from thence; and he cometh into his own country; and his disciples follow him.

²ولما كان السبت ابتدأ يعلم في المجمع. وكثيرون اذ سمعوا بهتوا قائلين من اين لهذا هذه. وما هذه الحكمة التي أعطيت له حتى تجري على يديه قوات مثل هذه.

²And when the sabbath was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, Whence hath this man these things? and, What is the wisdom that is given unto this man, and [what mean] such mighty works wrought by his hands?

³أليس هذا هو النجار ابن مريم واخو يعقوب ويوسي ويهوذا وسمعان. أوليست اخواته ههنا عندنا. فكانوا يعثرون به.

³Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James, and Joses, and Judas, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended in him.

⁴فقال لهم يسوع ليس نبي بلا كرامة الا في وطنه وبين اقربائه وفي بيته.

⁴And Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honor, save in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.

⁵ولم يقدر ان يصنع هناك ولا قوة واحدة غير انه وضع يديه على مرضى قليلين فشفاهم.

⁵And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them.

⁶وتعجب من عدم ايمانهم. وصار يطوف القرى المحيطة يعلم

⁶And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went round about the villages teaching.

⁷ودعا الاثني عشر وابتدأ يرسلهم اثنين اثنين. واعطاهم سلطانا على الارواح النجسة.

⁷And he calleth unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and he gave them authority over the unclean spirits;

⁸واوصاهم ان لا يحملوا شيئا للطريق غير عصا فقط. لا مزودا ولا خبزا ولا نحاسا في المنطقة.

⁸and he charged them that they should take nothing for [their] journey, save a staff only; no bread, no wallet, now money in their purse;

⁹بل يكونوا مشدودين بنعال ولا يلبسوا ثوبين.

⁹but [to go] shod with sandals: and, [said he], put not on two coats.

¹⁰وقال لهم حيثما دخلتم بيتا فاقيموا فيه حتى تخرجوا من هناك.

¹⁰And he said unto them, Wheresoever ye enter into a house, there abide till ye depart thence.

¹¹وكل من لا يقبلكم ولا يسمع لكم فاخرجوا من هناك وانفضوا التراب الذي تحت ارجلكم شهادة عليهم. الحق اقول لكم ستكون لارض سدوم وعمورة يوم الدين حالة اكثر احتمالا مما لتلك المدينة.

¹¹And whatsoever place shall not receive you, and they hear you not, as ye go forth thence, shake off the dust that is under your feet for a testimony unto them.

¹²فخرجوا وصاروا يكرزون ان يتوبوا.

¹²And they went out, and preached that [men] should repent.

¹³واخرجوا شياطين كثيرة ودهنوا بزيت مرضى كثيرين فشفوهم

¹³And they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them.

¹⁴فسمع هيرودس الملك. لان اسمه صار مشهورا. وقال ان يوحنا المعمدان قام من الاموات ولذلك تعمل به القوات.

¹⁴And king Herod heard [thereof]; for his name had become known: and he said, John the Baptizer is risen from the dead, and therefore do these powers work in him.

¹⁵قال آخرون انه ايليا. وقال آخرون انه نبي او كأحد الانبياء.

¹⁵But others said, It is Elijah. And others said, [It is] a prophet, [even] as one of the prophets.

¹⁶ولكن لما سمع هيرودس قال هذا هو يوحنا الذي قطعت انا راسه. انه قام من الاموات

¹⁶But Herod, when he heard [thereof], said, John, whom I beheaded, he is risen.

¹⁷لان هيرودس نفسه كان قد ارسل وامسك يوحنا واوثقه في السجن من اجل هيروديا امرأة فيلبس اخيه اذ كان قد تزوج بها.

¹⁷For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife; for he had married her.

¹⁸لان يوحنا كان يقول لهيرودس لا يحل ان تكون لك امرأة اخيك.

¹⁸For John said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife.

¹⁹فحنقت هيروديا عليه وارادت ان تقتله ولم تقدر.

¹⁹And Herodias set herself against him, and desired to kill him; and she could not;

²⁰لان هيرودس كان يهاب يوحنا عالما انه رجل بار وقديس وكان يحفظه. واذ سمعه فعل كثيرا وسمعه بسرور.

²⁰for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and kept him safe. And when he heard him, he was much perplexed; and he heard him gladly.

²¹واذ كان يوم موافق لما صنع هيرودس في مولده عشاء لعظمائه وقواد الالوف ووجوه الجليل

²¹And when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his birthday made a supper to his lords, and the high captains, and the chief men of Galilee;

²²دخلت ابنة هيروديا ورقصت فسرّت هيرودس والمتكئين معه. فقال الملك للصبية مهما اردت اطلبي مني فاعطيك.

²²and when the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced, she pleased Herod and them that sat at meat with him; and the king said unto the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give it thee.

²³واقسم لها ان مهما طلبت مني لأعطينّك حتى نصف مملكتي.

²³And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it thee, unto the half of my kingdom.

²⁴فخرجت وقالت لامها ماذا اطلب. فقالت راس يوحنا المعمدان.

²⁴And she went out, and said unto her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptizer.

²⁵فدخلت للوقت بسرعة الى الملك وطلبت قائلة اريد ان تعطيني حالا راس يوحنا المعمدان على طبق.

²⁵And she came in straightway with haste unto the king, and asked, saying, I will that thou forthwith give me on a platter the head of John the Baptist.

²⁶فحزن الملك جدا. ولاجل الاقسام والمتكئين لم يرد ان يردها.

²⁶And the king was exceeding sorry; but for the sake of his oaths, and of them that sat at meat, he would not reject her.

²⁷فللوقت ارسل الملك سيافا وامر ان يؤتى براسه.

²⁷And straightway the king sent forth a soldier of his guard, and commanded to bring his head: and he went and beheaded him in the prison,

²⁸فمضى وقطع راسه في السجن. وأتى برأسه على طبق واعطاه للصبية والصبية اعطته لامها.

²⁸and brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the damsel; and the damsel gave it to her mother.

²⁹ولما سمع تلاميذه جاءوا ورفعوا جثته ووضعوها في قبر

²⁹And when his disciples heard [thereof], they came and took up his corpse, and laid it in a tomb.

³⁰واجتمع الرسل الى يسوع واخبروه بكل شيء كل ما فعلوا وكل ما علّموا.

³⁰And the apostles gather themselves together unto Jesus; and they told him all things, whatsoever they had done, and whatsoever they had taught.

³¹فقال لهم تعالوا انتم منفردين الى موضع خلاء واستريحوا قليلا. لان القادمين والذاهبين كانوا كثيرين. ولم تتيسر لهم فرصة للاكل.

³¹And he saith unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while. For there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.

³²فمضوا في السفينة الى موضع خلاء منفردين.

³²And they went away in the boat to a desert place apart.

³³فرآهم الجموع منطلقين وعرفه كثيرون فتراكضوا الى هناك من جميع المدن مشاة وسبقوهم واجتمعوا اليه.

³³And [the people] saw them going, and many knew [them], and they ran together there on foot from all the cities, and outwent them.

³⁴فلما خرج يسوع رأى جمعا كثيرا فتحنن عليهم اذ كانوا كخراف لا راعي لها فابتدأ يعلّمهم كثيرا.

³⁴And he came forth and saw a great multitude, and he had compassion on them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things.

³⁵وبعد ساعات كثيرة تقدم اليه تلاميذه قائلين الموضع خلاء والوقت مضى.

³⁵And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came unto him, and said, The place is desert, and the day is now far spent;

³⁶اصرفهم لكي يمضوا الى الضياع والقرى حوالينا ويبتاعوا لهم خبزا. لان ليس عندهم ما ياكلون.

³⁶send them away, that they may go into the country and villages round about, and buy themselves somewhat to eat.

³⁷فاجاب وقال لهم اعطوهم انتم ليأكلوا. فقالوا له أنمضي ونبتاع خبزا بمئتي دينار ونعطيهم ليأكلوا.

³⁷But he answered and said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy two hundred shillings' worth of bread, and give them to eat?

³⁸فقال لهم كم رغيفا عندكم. اذهبوا وانظروا. ولما علموا قالوا خمسة وسمكتان.

³⁸And he saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go [and] see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes.

³⁹فأمرهم ان يجعلوا الجميع يتكئون رفاقا رفاقا على العشب الاخضر.

³⁹And he commanded them that all should sit down by companies upon the green grass.

⁴⁰فاتكأوا صفوفا صفوفا مئة مئة وخمسين خمسين.

⁴⁰And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties.

⁴¹فاخذ الارغفة الخمسة والسمكتين ورفع نظره نحو السماء وبارك ثم كسر الارغفة واعطى تلاميذه ليقدموا اليهم. وقسم السمكتين للجميع.

⁴¹And he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake the loaves; and he gave to the disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all.

⁴²فاكل الجميع وشبعوا.

⁴²And they all ate, and were filled.

⁴³ثم رفعوا من الكسر اثنتي عشرة قفة مملوءة ومن السمك.

⁴³And they took up broken pieces, twelve basketfuls, and also of the fishes.

⁴⁴وكان الذين اكلوا من الارغفة نحو خمسة آلاف رجل

⁴⁴And they that ate the loaves were five thousand men.

⁴⁵وللوقت ألزم تلاميذه ان يدخلوا السفينة ويسبقوا الى العبر الى بيت صيدا حتى يكون قد صرف الجمع.

⁴⁵And straightway he constrained his disciples to enter into the boat, and to go before [him] unto the other side to Bethsaida, while he himself sendeth the multitude away.

⁴⁶وبعدما ودعهم مضى الى الجبل ليصلّي.

⁴⁶And after he had taken leave of them, he departed into the mountain to pray.

⁴⁷ولما صار المساء كانت السفينة في وسط البحر وهو على البر وحده.

⁴⁷And when even was come, the boat was in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land.

⁴⁸ورآهم معذبين في الجذف. لان الريح كانت ضدهم. ونحو الهزيع الرابع من الليل اتاهم ماشيا على البحر واراد ان يتجاوزهم.

⁴⁸And seeing them distressed in rowing, for the wind was contrary unto them, about the fourth watch of the night he cometh unto them, walking on the sea; and he would have passed by them:

⁴⁹فلما رأوه ماشيا على البحر ظنوه خيالا فصرخوا.

⁴⁹but they, when they saw him walking on the sea, supposed that it was a ghost, and cried out;

⁵⁰لان الجميع رأوه واضطربوا. فللوقت كلمهم وقال لهم ثقوا. انا هو. لا تخافوا.

⁵⁰for they all saw him, and were troubled. But he straightway spake with them, and saith unto them, Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid.

⁵¹فصعد اليهم الى السفينة فسكنت الريح. فبهتوا وتعجبوا في انفسهم جدا الى الغاية.

⁵¹And he went up unto them into the boat; and the wind ceased: and they were sore amazed in themselves;

⁵²لانهم لم يفهموا بالارغفة اذ كانت قلوبهم غليظة.

⁵²for they understood not concerning the loaves, but their heart was hardened.

⁵³فلما عبروا جاءوا الى ارض جنيسارت وارسوا

⁵³And when they had crossed over, they came to the land unto Gennesaret, and moored to the shore.

⁵⁴ولما خرجوا من السفينة للوقت عرفوه.

⁵⁴And when they were come out of the boat, straightway [the people] knew him,

⁵⁵فطافوا جميع تلك الكورة المحيطة وابتدأوا يحملون المرضى على اسرّة الى حيث سمعوا انه هناك.

⁵⁵and ran round about that whole region, and began to carry about on their beds those that were sick, where they heard he was.

⁵⁶وحيثما دخل الى قرى او مدن او ضياع وضعوا المرضى في الاسواق وطلبوا اليه ان يلمسوا ولو هدب ثوبه. وكل من لمسه شفي

⁵⁶And wheresoever he entered, into villages, or into cities, or into the country, they laid the sick in the marketplaces, and besought him that they might touch if it were but the border of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole.
