1واذ كان الجمع يزدحم عليه ليسمع كلمة الله كان واقفا عند بحيرة جنيسارت.
1And it came to pass, as the crowd pressed on him to hear 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 ships standing by the lake, but the fishermen, having come down from them, were washing their nets.
3فدخل احدى السفينتين التي كانت لسمعان وسأله ان يبعد قليلا عن البر. ثم جلس وصار يعلّم الجموع من السفينة.
3And getting into one of the ships, which was Simon's, he asked him to draw out a little from the land; and he sat down and taught the crowds out of the ship.
4ولما فرغ من الكلام قال لسمعان ابعد الى العمق وألقوا شباككم للصيد.
4But when he ceased speaking, he said to Simon, Draw out into the deep [water] and let down your nets for a haul.
5فاجاب سمعان وقال له يا معلّم قد تعبنا الليل كله ولم نأخذ شيئا ولكن على كلمتك القي الشبكة.
5And Simon answering said to him, Master, having laboured through the whole night we have taken nothing, but at thy word I will let down the net.
6ولما فعلوا ذلك امسكوا سمكا كثيرا جدا فصارت شبكتهم تتخرق.
6And having done this, they enclosed a great multitude of fishes. And their net broke.
7فاشاروا الى شركائهم الذين في السفينة الاخرى ان يأتوا ويساعدوهم. فأتوا وملأوا السفينتين حتى اخذتا في الغرق.
7And they beckoned to their partners who were in the other ship to come and help them, and they came, and filled both the ships, so that they were sinking.
8فلما رأى سمعان بطرس ذلك خرّ عند ركبتيّ يسوع قائلا اخرج من سفينتي يا رب لاني رجل خاطئ.
8But Simon Peter, seeing it, fell at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, Lord.
9اذ اعترته وجميع الذين معه دهشة على صيد السمك الذي اخذوه.
9For astonishment had laid hold on him, and on all those who were with him, at the haul of 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 in like manner also on James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, Fear not; henceforth thou shalt be catching men.
11ولما جاءوا بالسفينتين الى البر تركوا كل شيء وتبعوه
11And having run the ships on shore, leaving all they 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 as he was in one of the cities, that behold, there was a man full of leprosy, and seeing Jesus, falling upon his face, he besought him saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou art able to cleanse me.
13فمدّ يده ولمسه قائلا اريد فاطهر. وللوقت ذهب عنه البرص.
13And stretching forth his hand he touched him, saying, I will; be thou cleansed: and immediately 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 enjoined him to tell no one; but go, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing as Moses ordained, for a testimony to them.
15فذاع الخبر عنه اكثر. فاجتمع جموع كثيرة لكي يسمعوا ويشفوا به من امراضهم.
15But the report concerning him was spread abroad still more, and great crowds came together to hear, and to be healed from their infirmities.
16واما هو فكان يعتزل في البراري ويصلّي
16And *he* withdrew himself, and was about in the desert [places] and praying.
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 the 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 [out of] Jerusalem; and [the] Lord's power was [there] to heal them.
18واذا برجال يحملون على فراش انسانا مفلوجا وكانوا يطلبون ان يدخلوا به ويضعوه امامه.
18And lo, men bringing upon a couch a man who was paralysed; and they sought to bring him in, and put [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 what way to bring him in, on account of the crowd, going up on the housetop they let him down through the tiles, with his little 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 [in their minds], saying, Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who is able to forgive sins but God alone?
22فشعر يسوع بافكارهم واجاب وقال لهم ماذا تفكرون في قلوبكم.
22But Jesus, knowing their reasonings, answering said to 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, Rise up 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 has power on earth to forgive sins, he said to the paralysed man, I say to thee, Arise, and take up thy little couch and go to thine house.
25ففي الحال قام امامهم وحمل ما كان مضطجعا عليه ومضى الى بيته وهو يمجد الله.
25And immediately standing up before them, having taken up that whereon he was laid, he departed to his house, glorifying God.
26فأخذت الجميع حيرة ومجدوا الله وامتلأوا خوفا قائلين اننا قد رأينا اليوم عجائب
26And astonishment seized all, and they glorified God, and 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 saw a tax-gatherer, Levi by name, sitting at the receipt of taxes, and said to him, Follow me.
28فترك كل شيء وقام وتبعه.
28And having left all, rising up, he followed him.
29وصنع له لاوي ضيافة كبيرة في بيته. والذين كانوا متكئين معهم كانوا جمعا كثيرا من عشارين وآخرين.
29And Levi made a great entertainment for him in his house, and there was a great crowd of tax-gatherers and others who were at table with them.
30فتذمر كتبتهم والفريسيون على تلاميذه قائلين لماذا تاكلون وتشربون مع عشارين وخطاة.
30And their scribes and the Pharisees murmured at his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with tax-gatherers and sinners?
31فاجاب يسوع وقال لهم لا يحتاج الاصحاء الى طبيب بل المرضى.
31And Jesus answering said to them, They that are in sound health have not need of a physician, but those that are ill.
32لم آت لأدعو ابرارا بل خطاة الى التوبة
32I am not come to call righteous [persons], but sinful [ones] to repentance.
33وقالوا له لماذا يصوم تلاميذ يوحنا كثيرا ويقدمون طلبات وكذلك تلاميذ الفريسيين ايضا. واما تلاميذك فيأكلون ويشربون.
33And they said to him, Why do the disciples of John fast often and make supplications, in like manner those also of the Pharisees, but thine eat and drink?
34فقال لهم أتقدرون ان تجعلوا بني العرس يصومون ما دام العريس معهم.
34And he said to them, Can ye make the sons of the bridechamber fast when the bridegroom is with them?
35ولكن ستأتي ايام حين يرفع العريس عنهم فحينئذ يصومون في تلك الايام.
35But days will come when also the bridegroom will have been taken away from them; then shall 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 spoke also a parable to them: No one puts a piece of a new garment upon an old garment, otherwise he will both rend the new, and the piece which is from the new will not suit with the old.
37وليس احد يجعل خمرا جديدة في زقاق عتيقة لئلا تشق الخمر الجديدة الزقاق فهي تهرق والزقاق تتلف.
37And no one puts new wine into old skins, otherwise the new wine will burst the skins, and it will be poured out, and the skins will be destroyed;
38بل يجعلون خمرا جديدة في زقاق جديدة فتحفظ جميعا.
38but new wine is to be put into new skins, and both are preserved.
39وليس احد اذا شرب العتيق يريد للوقت الجديد لانه يقول العتيق اطيب
39And no one having drunk old wine [straightway] wishes for new, for he says, The old is better.
