¹وعلى اثر ذلك كان يسير في مدينة وقرية يكرز ويبشر بملكوت الله ومعه الاثنا عشر

¹It happened soon afterwards, that he went about through cities and villages, preaching and bringing the good news of the Kingdom of God. With him were the twelve,

²وبعض النساء كنّ قد شفين من ارواح شريرة وامراض. مريم التي تدعى المجدلية التي خرج منها سبعة شياطين

²and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary who was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out;

³ويونّا امرأة خوزي وكيل هيرودس وسوسنة وأخر كثيرات كنّ يخدمنه من اموالهنّ

³and Joanna, the wife of Chuzas, Herod’s steward; Susanna; and many others; who served them TR reads “him” instead of “them” from their possessions.

⁴فلما اجتمع جمع كثير ايضا من الذين جاءوا اليه من كل مدينة قال بمثل

⁴When a great multitude came together, and people from every city were coming to him, he spoke by a parable.

⁵خرج الزارع ليزرع زرعه. وفيما هو يزرع سقط بعض على الطريق فانداس واكلته طيور السماء.

⁵ “The farmer went out to sow his seed. As he sowed, some fell along the road, and it was trampled under foot, and the birds of the sky devoured it.

⁶وسقط آخر على الصخر فلما نبت جف لانه لم تكن له رطوبة.

⁶ Other seed fell on the rock, and as soon as it grew, it withered away, because it had no moisture.

⁷وسقط آخر في وسط الشوك. فنبت معه الشوك وخنقه.

⁷ Other fell amid the thorns, and the thorns grew with it, and choked it.

⁸وسقط آخر في الارض الصالحة فلما نبت صنع ثمرا مئة ضعف. قال هذا ونادى من له اذنان للسمع فليسمع

⁸ Other fell into the good ground, and grew, and brought forth fruit one hundred times.” As he said these things, he called out, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”

⁹فسأله تلاميذه قائلين ما عسى ان يكون هذا المثل.

⁹Then his disciples asked him, “What does this parable mean?”

¹⁰فقال. لكم قد أعطي ان تعرفوا اسرار ملكوت الله. واما للباقين فبامثال حتى انهم مبصرين لا يبصرون وسامعين لا يفهمون.

¹⁰He said, “To you it is given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of God, but to the rest in parables; that ‘seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.’ Isaiah 6:9

¹¹وهذا هو المثل. الزرع هو كلام الله.

¹¹ Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

¹²والذين على الطريق هم الذين يسمعون ثم يأتي ابليس وينزع الكلمة من قلوبهم لئلا يؤمنوا فيخلصوا.

¹² Those along the road are those who hear, then the devil comes, and takes away the word from their heart, that they may not believe and be saved.

¹³والذين على الصخر هم الذين متى سمعوا يقبلون الكلمة بفرح. وهؤلاء ليس لهم اصل فيؤمنون الى حين وفي وقت التجربة يرتدون.

¹³ Those on the rock are they who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; but these have no root, who believe for a while, then fall away in time of temptation.

¹⁴والذي سقط بين الشوك هم الذين يسمعون ثم يذهبون فيختنقون من هموم الحياة وغناها ولذّاتها ولا ينضجون ثمرا.

¹⁴ That which fell among the thorns, these are those who have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with cares, riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to maturity.

¹⁵والذي في الارض الجيدة هو الذين يسمعون الكلمة فيحفظونها في قلب جيد صالح ويثمرون بالصبر

¹⁵ That in the good ground, these are such as in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, hold it tightly, and bring forth fruit with patience.

¹⁶وليس احد يوقد سراجا ويغطيه باناء او يضعه تحت سرير بل يضعه على منارة لينظر الداخلون النور.

¹⁶ “No one, when he has lit a lamp, covers it with a container, or puts it under a bed; but puts it on a stand, that those who enter in may see the light.

¹⁷لانه ليس خفي لا يظهر ولا مكتوم لا يعلم ويعلن.

¹⁷ For nothing is hidden, that will not be revealed; nor anything secret, that will not be known and come to light.

¹⁸فانظروا كيف تسمعون. لان من له سيعطى. ومن ليس له فالذي يظنه له يؤخذ منه

¹⁸ Be careful therefore how you hear. For whoever has, to him will be given; and whoever doesn’t have, from him will be taken away even that which he thinks he has.”

¹⁹وجاء اليه امه واخوته. ولم يقدروا ان يصلوا اليه لسبب الجمع.

¹⁹His mother and brothers came to him, and they could not come near him for the crowd.

²⁰فاخبروه قائلين امك واخوتك واقفون خارجا يريدون ان يروك.

²⁰It was told him by some saying, “Your mother and your brothers stand outside, desiring to see you.”

²¹فاجاب وقال لهم امي واخوتي هم الذين يسمعون كلمة الله ويعملون بها

²¹But he answered them, “My mother and my brothers are these who hear the word of God, and do it.”

²²وفي احد الايام دخل سفينة هو وتلاميذه. فقال لهم لنعبر الى عبر البحيرة. فاقلعوا.

²²Now it happened on one of those days, that he entered into a boat, himself and his disciples, and he said to them, “Let’s go over to the other side of the lake.” So they launched out.

²³وفيما هم سائرون نام. فنزل نوء ريح في البحيرة. وكانوا يمتلئون ماء وصاروا في خطر.

²³But as they sailed, he fell asleep. A wind storm came down on the lake, and they were taking on dangerous amounts of water.

²⁴فتقدموا وايقظوه قائلين يا معلّم يا معلّم اننا نهلك. فقام وانتهر الريح وتموّج الماء فانتهيا وصار هدوء.

²⁴They came to him, and awoke him, saying, “Master, master, we are dying!” He awoke, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water, and they ceased, and it was calm. See Psalm 107:29

²⁵ثم قال لهم اين ايمانكم. فخافوا وتعجبوا قائلين فيما بينهم من هو هذا. فانه يأمر الرياح ايضا والماء فتطيعه

²⁵He said to them, “Where is your faith?” Being afraid they marveled, saying one to another, “Who is this, then, that he commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him?”

²⁶وساروا الى كورة الجدريين التي هي مقابل الجليل.

²⁶They arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is opposite Galilee.

²⁷ولما خرج الى الارض استقبله رجل من المدينة كان فيه شياطين منذ زمان طويل وكان لا يلبس ثوبا ولا يقيم في بيت بل في القبور.

²⁷When Jesus stepped ashore, a certain man out of the city who had demons for a long time met him. He wore no clothes, and didn’t live in a house, but in the tombs.

²⁸فلما رأى يسوع صرخ وخرّ له وقال بصوت عظيم ما لي ولك يا يسوع ابن الله العلي. اطلب منك ان لا تعذبني.

²⁸When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, “What do I have to do with you, Jesus, you Son of the Most High God? I beg you, don’t torment me!”

²⁹لانه امر الروح النجس ان يخرج من الانسان. لانه منذ زمان كثير كان يخطفه. وقد ربط بسلاسل وقيود محروسا. وكان يقطع الربط ويساق من الشيطان الى البراري.

²⁹For Jesus was commanding the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For the unclean spirit had often seized the man. He was kept under guard, and bound with chains and fetters. Breaking the bands apart, he was driven by the demon into the desert.

³⁰فسأله يسوع قائلا ما اسمك. فقال لجئون. لان شياطين كثيرة دخلت فيه.

³⁰Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” He said, “Legion,” for many demons had entered into him.

³¹وطلب اليه ان لا يأمرهم بالذهاب الى الهاوية.

³¹They begged him that he would not command them to go into the abyss.

³²وكان هناك قطيع خنازير كثيرة ترعى في الجبل. فطلبوا اليه ان يأذن لهم بالدخول فيها. فأذن لهم.

³²Now there was there a herd of many pigs feeding on the mountain, and they begged him that he would allow them to enter into those. He allowed them.

³³فخرجت الشياطين من الانسان ودخلت في الخنازير. فاندفع القطيع من على الجرف الى البحيرة واختنق.

³³The demons came out from the man, and entered into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake, and were drowned.

³⁴فلما رأى الرعاة ما كان هربوا وذهبوا واخبروا في المدينة وفي الضياع.

³⁴When those who fed them saw what had happened, they fled, and told it in the city and in the country.

³⁵فخرجوا ليروا ما جرى. وجاءوا الى يسوع فوجدوا الانسان الذي كانت الشياطين قد خرجت منه لابسا وعاقلا جالسا عند قدمي يسوع فخافوا.

³⁵People went out to see what had happened. They came to Jesus, and found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting at Jesus’ feet, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.

³⁶فاخبرهم ايضا الذين رأوا كيف خلص المجنون.

³⁶Those who saw it told them how he who had been possessed by demons was healed.

³⁷فطلب اليه كل جمهور كورة الجدريين ان يذهب عنهم. لانه اعتراهم خوف عظيم. فدخل السفينة ورجع.

³⁷All the people of the surrounding country of the Gadarenes asked him to depart from them, for they were very much afraid. He entered into the boat, and returned.

³⁸اما الرجل الذي خرجت منه الشياطين فطلب اليه ان يكون معه ولكن يسوع صرفه قائلا

³⁸But the man from whom the demons had gone out begged him that he might go with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying,

³⁹ارجع الى بيتك وحدث بكم صنع الله بك. فمضى وهو ينادي في المدينة كلها بكم صنع به يسوع

³⁹ “Return to your house, and declare what great things God has done for you.” He went his way, proclaiming throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him.

⁴⁰ولما رجع يسوع قبله الجمع لانهم كانوا جميعهم ينتظرونه.

⁴⁰It happened, when Jesus returned, that the multitude welcomed him, for they were all waiting for him.

⁴¹واذا رجل اسمه يايروس قد جاء. وكان رئيس المجمع. فوقع عند قدمي يسوع وطلب اليه ان يدخل بيته.

⁴¹Behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue. He fell down at Jesus’ feet, and begged him to come into his house,

⁴²لانه كان له بنت وحيدة لها نحو اثنتي عشرة سنة وكانت في حال الموت. ففيما هو منطلق زحمته الجموع

⁴²for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. But as he went, the multitudes pressed against him.

⁴³وامرأة بنزف دم منذ اثنتي عشرة سنة وقد انفقت كل معيشتها للاطباء ولم تقدر ان تشفى من احد

⁴³A woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her living on physicians, and could not be healed by any,

⁴⁴جاءت من ورائه ولمست هدب ثوبه. ففي الحال وقف نزف دمها.

⁴⁴came behind him, and touched the fringe or, tassel of his cloak, and immediately the flow of her blood stopped.

⁴⁵فقال يسوع من الذي لمسني. واذ كان الجميع ينكرون قال بطرس والذين معه يا معلّم الجموع يضيّقون عليك ويزحمونك وتقول من الذي لمسني.

⁴⁵Jesus said, “Who touched me?” When all denied it, Peter and those with him said, “Master, the multitudes press and jostle you, and you say, ‘Who touched me?’ ”

⁴⁶فقال يسوع قد لمسني واحد لاني علمت ان قوة قد خرجت مني.

⁴⁶But Jesus said, “Someone did touch me, for I perceived that power has gone out of me.”

⁴⁷فلما رأت المرأة انها لم تختف جاءت مرتعدة وخرّت له واخبرته قدام جميع الشعب لاي سبب لمسته وكيف برئت في الحال.

⁴⁷When the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling, and falling down before him declared to him in the presence of all the people the reason why she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.

⁴⁸فقال لها ثقي يا ابنة. ايمانك قد شفاك. اذهبي بسلام

⁴⁸He said to her, “Daughter, cheer up. Your faith has made you well. Go in peace.”

⁴⁹وبينما هو يتكلم جاء واحد من دار رئيس المجمع قائلا له قد ماتت ابنتك. لا تتعب المعلّم.

⁴⁹While he still spoke, one from the ruler of the synagogue’s house came, saying to him, “Your daughter is dead. Don’t trouble the Teacher.”

⁵⁰فسمع يسوع واجابه قائلا لا تخف. آمن فقط فهي تشفى.

⁵⁰But Jesus hearing it, answered him, “Don’t be afraid. Only believe, and she will be healed.”

⁵¹فلما جاء الى البيت لم يدع احدا يدخل الا بطرس ويعقوب ويوحنا وابا الصبيه وامها.

⁵¹When he came to the house, he didn’t allow anyone to enter in, except Peter, John, James, the father of the child, and her mother.

⁵²وكان الجميع يبكون عليها ويلطمون. فقال لا تبكوا. لم تمت لكنها نائمة.

⁵²All were weeping and mourning her, but he said, “Don’t weep. She isn’t dead, but sleeping.”

⁵³فضحكوا عليه عارفين انها ماتت.

⁵³They were ridiculing him, knowing that she was dead.

⁵⁴فاخرج الجمع خارجا وامسك بيدها ونادى قائلا يا صبية قومي.

⁵⁴But he put them all outside, and taking her by the hand, he called, saying, “Child, arise!”

⁵⁵فرجعت روحها وقامت في الحال. فامر ان تعطى لتاكل.

⁵⁵Her spirit returned, and she rose up immediately. He commanded that something be given to her to eat.

⁵⁶فبهت والداها. فاوصاهما ان لا يقولا لاحد عما كان

⁵⁶Her parents were amazed, but he commanded them to tell no one what had been done.
