¹ودعا تلاميذه الاثني عشر واعطاهم قوة وسلطانا على جميع الشياطين وشفاء امراض.

¹And having called together the twelve, he gave them power and authority over all demons, and to heal diseases,

²وارسلهم ليكرزوا بملكوت الله ويشفوا المرضى.

²and sent them to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.

³وقال لهم لا تحملوا شيئا للطريق لا عصا ولا مزودا ولا خبزا ولا فضة ولا يكون للواحد ثوبان.

³And he said to them, Take nothing for the way, neither staff, nor scrip, nor bread, nor money; nor to have two body-coats apiece.

⁴واي بيت دخلتموه فهناك اقيموا ومن هناك اخرجوا.

⁴And into whatsoever house ye enter, there abide and thence go forth.

⁵وكل من لا يقبلكم فاخرجوا من تلك المدينة وانفضوا الغبار ايضا عن ارجلكم شهادة عليهم.

⁵And as many as may not receive you, going forth from that city, shake off even the dust from your feet for a witness against them.

⁶فلما خرجوا كانوا يجتازون في كل قرية يبشرون ويشفون في كل موضع

⁶And going forth they passed through the villages, announcing the glad tidings and healing everywhere.

⁷فسمع هيرودس رئيس الربع بجميع ما كان منه وارتاب. لان قوما كانوا يقولون ان يوحنا قد قام من الاموات.

⁷And Herod the tetrarch heard of all the things which were done [by him], and was in perplexity, because it was said by some that John was risen from among [the] dead,

⁸وقوما ان ايليا ظهر. وآخرين ان نبيا من القدماء قام.

⁸and by some that Elias had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen again.

⁹فقال هيرودس يوحنا انا قطعت راسه. فمن هو هذا الذي اسمع عنه مثل هذا. وكان يطلب ان يراه

⁹And Herod said, John *I* have beheaded, but who is this of whom I hear such things? and he sought to see him.

¹⁰ولما رجع الرسل اخبروه بجميع ما فعلوا. فاخذهم وانصرف منفردا الى موضع خلاء لمدينة تسمى بيت صيدا.

¹⁰And the apostles having returned related to him whatever they had done. And he took them and withdrew apart into [a desert place of] a city called Bethsaida.

¹¹فالجموع اذ علموا تبعوه. فقبلهم وكلمهم عن ملكوت الله. والمحتاجون الى الشفاء شفاهم.

¹¹But the crowds knowing [it] followed him; and he received them and spake to them of the kingdom of God, and cured those that had need of healing.

¹²فابتدأ النهار يميل. فتقدم الاثنا عشر وقالوا له اصرف الجمع ليذهبوا الى القرى والضياع حوالينا فيبيتوا ويجدوا طعاما لاننا ههنا في موضع خلاء.

¹²But the day began to decline, and the twelve came and said to him, Send away the crowd that they may go into the villages around, and [into] the fields, and lodge and find victuals, for here we are in a desert place.

¹³فقال لهم اعطوهم انتم ليأكلوا. فقالوا ليس عندنا اكثر من خمسة ارغفة وسمكتين الا ان نذهب ونبتاع طعاما لهذا الشعب كله.

¹³And he said to them, Give *ye them to eat. And they said, We have not more than five loaves and two fishes, unless *we* should go and buy food for all this people;

¹⁴لانهم كانوا نحو خمسة آلاف رجل. فقال لتلاميذه اتكئوهم فرقا خمسين خمسين.

¹⁴for they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down in companies by fifties.

¹⁵ففعلوا هكذا واتكأوا الجميع.

¹⁵And they did so, and made them all sit down.

¹⁶فاخذ الارغفة الخمسة والسمكتين ورفع نظره نحو السماء وباركهنّ ثم كسّر واعطى التلاميذ ليقدموا للجمع.

¹⁶And taking the five loaves and the two fishes, looking up to heaven he blessed them, and broke and gave to the disciples to set before the crowd.

¹⁷فأكلوا وشبعوا جميعا. ثم رفع ما فضل عنهم من الكسر اثنتا عشرة قفة

¹⁷And they all ate and were filled; and there was taken up of what had remained over and above to them in fragments twelve hand-baskets.

¹⁸وفيما هو يصلّي على انفراد كان التلاميذ معه. فسألهم قائلا من تقول الجموع اني انا.

¹⁸And it came to pass as he was praying alone, his disciples were with him, and he asked them saying, Who do the crowds say that I am?

¹⁹فاجابوا وقالوا يوحنا المعمدان. وآخرون ايليا. وآخرون ان نبيا من القدماء قام.

¹⁹But they answering said, John the baptist; but others, Elias; and others, that one of the old prophets has risen again.

²⁰فقال لهم وانتم من تقولون اني انا. فاجاب بطرس وقال مسيح الله.

²⁰And he said to them, But *ye*, who do ye say that I am? And Peter answering said, The Christ of God.

²¹فانتهرهم واوصى ان لا يقولوا ذلك لاحد

²¹But, earnestly charging them, he enjoined [them] to say this to no man,

²²قائلا انه ينبغي ان ابن الانسان يتألم كثيرا ويرفض من الشيوخ ورؤساء الكهنة والكتبة ويقتل وفي اليوم الثالث يقوم

²²saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.

²³وقال للجميع ان اراد احد ان يأتي ورائي فلينكر نفسه ويحمل صليبه كل يوم ويتبعني.

²³And he said to [them] all, If any one will come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me;

²⁴فان من اراد ان يخلّص نفسه يهلكها. ومن يهلك نفسه من اجلي فهذا يخلّصها.

²⁴for whosoever shall desire to save his life shall lose it, but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake, *he* shall save it.

²⁵لانه ماذا ينتفع الانسان لو ربح العالم كله واهلك نفسه او خسرها.

²⁵For what shall a man profit if he shall have gained the whole world, and have destroyed, or come under the penalty of the loss of himself?

²⁶لان من استحى بي وبكلامي فبهذا يستحي ابن الانسان متى جاء بمجده ومجد الآب والملائكة القديسين.

²⁶For whosoever shall have been ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of man be ashamed when he shall come in his glory, and [in that] of the Father, and of the holy angels.

²⁷حقا اقول لكم ان من القيام ههنا قوما لا يذوقون الموت حتى يروا ملكوت الله

²⁷But I say unto you of a truth, There are some of those standing here who shall not taste death until they shall have seen the kingdom of God.

²⁸وبعد هذا الكلام بنحو ثمانية ايام اخذ بطرس ويوحنا ويعقوب وصعد الى جبل ليصلّي.

²⁸And it came to pass after these words, about eight days, that taking Peter and John and James he went up into a mountain to pray.

²⁹وفيما هو يصلّي صارت هيئة وجهه متغيرة ولباسه مبيضا لامعا.

²⁹And as he prayed the fashion of his countenance became different and his raiment white [and] effulgent.

³⁰واذا رجلان يتكلمان معه وهما موسى وايليا.

³⁰And lo, two men talked with him, who were Moses and Elias,

³¹اللذان ظهرا بمجد وتكلما عن خروجه الذي كان عتيدا ان يكمله في اورشليم.

³¹who, appearing in glory, spoke of his departure which he was about to accomplish in Jerusalem.

³²واما بطرس واللذان معه فكانوا قد تثقلوا بالنوم. فلما استيقظوا رأوا مجده والرجلين الواقفين معه.

³²But Peter and those with him were oppressed with sleep: but having fully awoke up they saw his glory, and the two men who stood with him.

³³وفيما هما يفارقانه قال بطرس ليسوع يا معلّم جيد ان نكون ههنا. فلنصنع ثلاثة مظال. لك واحدة ولموسى واحدة ولايليا واحدة. وهو لا يعلم ما يقول.

³³And it came to pass as they departed from him, Peter said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias: not knowing what he said.

³⁴وفيما هو يقول ذلك كانت سحابة فظللتهم. فخافوا عندما دخلوا في السحابة.

³⁴But as he was saying these things, there came a cloud and overshadowed them, and they feared as they entered into the cloud:

³⁵وصار صوت من السحابة قائلا هذا هو ابني الحبيب. له اسمعوا.

³⁵and there was a voice out of the cloud saying, *This* is my beloved Son: hear him.

³⁶ولما كان الصوت وجد يسوع وحده. واما هم فسكتوا ولم يخبروا احدا في تلك الايام بشيء مما ابصروه

³⁶And as the voice was [heard] Jesus was found alone: and *they* kept silence, and told no one in those days any of the things they had seen.

³⁷وفي اليوم التالي اذ نزلوا من الجبل استقبله جمع كثير.

³⁷And it came to pass on the following day, when they came down from the mountain, a great crowd met him.

³⁸واذا رجل من الجمع صرخ قائلا يا معلّم اطلب اليك. انظر الى ابني. فانه وحيد لي.

³⁸And lo, a man from the crowd cried out saying, Teacher, I beseech thee look upon my son, for he is mine only child:

³⁹وها روح يأخذه فيصرخ بغتة فيصرعه مزبدا وبالجهد يفارقه مرضضا اياه.

³⁹and behold, a spirit takes him, and suddenly he cries out, and it tears him with foaming, and with difficulty departs from him after crushing him.

⁴⁰وطلبت الى تلاميذك ان يخرجوه فلم يقدروا.

⁴⁰And I besought thy disciples that they might cast him out, and they could not.

⁴¹فاجاب يسوع وقال ايها الجيل غير المؤمن والملتوي. الى متى اكون معكم واحتملكم. قدم ابنك الى هنا.

⁴¹And Jesus answering said, O unbelieving and perverted generation, how long shall I be with you and suffer you? Bring hither thy son.

⁴²وبينما هو آت مزقه الشيطان وصرعه. فانتهر يسوع الروح النجس وشفى الصبي وسلمه الى ابيه.

⁴²But as he was yet coming, the demon tore him and dragged him all together. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child and gave him back to his father.

⁴³فبهت الجميع من عظمة الله واذ كان الجميع يتعجبون من كل ما فعل يسوع قال لتلاميذه

⁴³And all were astonished at the glorious greatness of God. And as all wondered at all the things which [Jesus] did, he said to his disciples,

⁴⁴ضعوا انتم هذا الكلام في آذانكم. ان ابن الانسان سوف يسلم الى ايدي الناس.

⁴⁴Do *ye* let these words sink into your ears. For the Son of man is about to be delivered into men's hands.

⁴⁵واما هم فلم يفهموا هذا القول وكان مخفى عنهم لكي لا يفهموه. وخافوا ان يسألوه عن هذا القول

⁴⁵But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them that they should not perceive it. And they feared to ask him concerning this saying.

⁴⁶وداخلهم فكر من عسى ان يكون اعظم فيهم.

⁴⁶And a reasoning came in amongst them, who should be [the] greatest of them.

⁴⁷فعلم يسوع فكر قلبهم واخذ ولدا واقامه عنده

⁴⁷And Jesus, seeing the reasoning of their heart, having taken a little child set it by him,

⁴⁸وقال لهم. من قبل هذا الولد باسمي يقبلني. ومن قبلني يقبل الذي ارسلني. لان الاصغر فيكم جميعا هو يكون عظيما

⁴⁸and said to them, Whosoever shall receive this little child in my name receives me, and whosoever shall receive me receives him that sent me. For he who is the least among you all, *he* is great.

⁴⁹فاجاب يوحنا وقال يا معلّم رأينا واحد يخرج الشياطين باسمك فمنعناه لانه ليس يتبع معنا.

⁴⁹And John answering said, Master, we saw some one casting out demons in thy name, and we forbad him, because he follows not with us.

⁵⁰فقال له يسوع لا تمنعوه. لان من ليس علينا فهو معنا

⁵⁰And Jesus said to him, Forbid [him] not, for he that is not against you is for you.

⁵¹وحين تمت الايام لارتفاعه ثبّت وجهه لينطلق الى اورشليم.

⁵¹And it came to pass when the days of his receiving up were fulfilled, that *he* stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem.

⁵²وارسل امام وجهه رسلا. فذهبوا ودخلوا قرية للسامريين حتى يعدوا له.

⁵²And he sent messengers before his face. And having gone they entered into a village of the Samaritans that they might make ready for him.

⁵³فلم يقبلوه لان وجهه كان متجها نحو اورشليم.

⁵³And they did not receive him, because his face was [turned as] going to Jerusalem.

⁵⁴فلما رأى ذلك تلميذاه يعقوب ويوحنا قالا يا رب أتريد ان نقول ان تنزل نار من السماء فتفنيهم كما فعل ايليا ايضا.

⁵⁴And his disciples James and John seeing [it] said, Lord, wilt thou that we speak [that] fire come down from heaven and consume them, as also Elias did?

⁵⁵فالتفت وانتهرهما وقال لستما تعلمان من اي روح انتما.

⁵⁵But turning he rebuked them [and said, Ye know not of what spirit ye are].

⁵⁶لان ابن الانسان لم يأت ليهلك انفس الناس بل ليخلّص. فمضوا الى قرية اخرى

⁵⁶And they went to another village.

⁵⁷وفيما هم سائرون في الطريق قال له واحد يا سيد اتبعك اينما تمضي.

⁵⁷And it came to pass as they went in the way, one said to him, I will follow thee wheresoever thou goest, Lord.

⁵⁸فقال له يسوع للثعالب اوجرة ولطيور السماء اوكار. واما ابن الانسان فليس له اين يسند راسه.

⁵⁸And Jesus said to him, The foxes have holes and the birds of the heaven roosting-places, but the Son of man has not where he may lay his head.

⁵⁹وقال لآخر اتبعني. فقال يا سيد ائذن لي ان امضي اولا وادفن ابي.

⁵⁹And he said to another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, allow me to go first and bury my father.

⁶⁰فقال له يسوع دع الموتى يدفنون موتاهم واما انت فاذهب وناد بملكوت الله.

⁶⁰But Jesus said to him, Suffer the dead to bury their own dead, but do *thou* go and announce the kingdom of God.

⁶¹وقال آخر ايضا اتبعك يا سيد ولكن ائذن لي اولا ان اودع الذين في بيتي.

⁶¹And another also said, I will follow thee, Lord, but first allow me to bid adieu to those at my house.

⁶²فقال له يسوع ليس احد يضع يده على المحراث وينظر الى الوراء يصلح لملكوت الله

⁶²But Jesus said to him, No one having laid his hand on [the] plough and looking back is fit for the kingdom of God.
