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

¹He called the twelve TR reads “his twelve disciples” instead of “the twelve” together, and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.

²وارسلهم ليكرزوا بملكوت الله ويشفوا المرضى.

²He sent them forth to preach 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.

³He said to them, “Take nothing for your journey—neither staffs, nor wallet, nor bread, nor money; neither have two coats apiece.

⁴واي بيت دخلتموه فهناك اقيموا ومن هناك اخرجوا.

⁴ Into whatever house you enter, stay there, and depart from there.

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

⁵ As many as don’t receive you, when you depart from that city, shake off even the dust from your feet for a testimony against them.”

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

⁶They departed, and went throughout the villages, preaching the Good News, and healing everywhere.

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

⁷Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him; and he was very perplexed, because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead,

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

⁸and by some that Elijah 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

⁹Herod said, “John I beheaded, but who is this, about whom I hear such things?” He sought to see him.

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

¹⁰The apostles, when they had returned, told him what things they had done. He took them, and withdrew apart to a deserted place of a city called Bethsaida.

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

¹¹But the multitudes, perceiving it, followed him. He welcomed them, and spoke to them of the Kingdom of God, and he cured those who needed healing.

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

¹²The day began to wear away; and the twelve came, and said to him, “Send the multitude away, that they may go into the surrounding villages and farms, and lodge, and get food, for we are here in a deserted place.”

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

¹³But he said to them, “You give them something to eat.” They said, “We have no more than five loaves and two fish, unless we should go and buy food for all these people.”

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

¹⁴For they were about five thousand men. He said to his disciples, “Make them sit down in groups of about fifty each.”

¹⁵ففعلوا هكذا واتكأوا الجميع.

¹⁵They did so, and made them all sit down.

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

¹⁶He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to the sky, he blessed them, and broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the multitude.

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

¹⁷They ate, and were all filled. They gathered up twelve baskets of broken pieces that were left over.

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

¹⁸It happened, as he was praying alone, that the disciples were with him, and he asked them, “Who do the multitudes say that I am?”

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

¹⁹They answered, “‘John the Baptizer,’ but others say, ‘Elijah,’ and others, that one of the old prophets is risen again.”

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

²⁰He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”

²¹فانتهرهم واوصى ان لا يقولوا ذلك لاحد

²¹But he warned them, and commanded them to tell this to no one,

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 by the elders, 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.

²³He said to all, “If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, TR, NU add “daily” and follow me.

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

²⁴ For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever will lose his life for my sake, the same will save it.

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

²⁵ For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits his own self?

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

²⁶ For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed, when he comes in his glory, and the glory of the Father, and of the holy angels.

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

²⁷ But I tell you the truth: There are some of those who stand here, who will in no way taste of death, until they see the Kingdom of God.”

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

²⁸It happened about eight days after these sayings, that he took with him Peter, John, and James, and went up onto the mountain to pray.

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

²⁹As he was praying, the appearance of his face was altered, and his clothing became white and dazzling.

³⁰واذا رجلان يتكلمان معه وهما موسى وايليا.

³⁰Behold, two men were talking with him, who were Moses and Elijah,

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

³¹who appeared in glory, and spoke of his departure, literally, “exodus” which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.

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

³²Now Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep, but when they were fully awake, 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.

³³It happened, as they were parting from him, that Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let’s make three tents: one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah,” not knowing what he said.

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

³⁴While he said these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered into the cloud.

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

³⁵A voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him!”

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

³⁶When the voice came, Jesus was found alone. They were silent, and told no one in those days any of the things which they had seen.

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

³⁷It happened on the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, that a great multitude met him.

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

³⁸Behold, a man from the crowd called out, saying, “Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only child.

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

³⁹Behold, a spirit takes him, he suddenly cries out, and it convulses him so that he foams, and it hardly departs from him, bruising him severely.

⁴⁰وطلبت الى تلاميذك ان يخرجوه فلم يقدروا.

⁴⁰I begged your disciples to cast it out, and they couldn’t.”

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

⁴¹Jesus answered, “Faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here.”

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

⁴²While he was still coming, the demon threw him down and convulsed him violently. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.

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

⁴³They were all astonished at the majesty of God. But while all were marveling 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.

⁴⁴ “Let these words sink into your ears, for the Son of Man will be delivered up into the hands of men.”

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

⁴⁵But they didn’t understand this saying. It was concealed from them, that they should not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.

⁴⁶وداخلهم فكر من عسى ان يكون اعظم فيهم.

⁴⁶There arose an argument among them about which of them was the greatest.

⁴⁷فعلم يسوع فكر قلبهم واخذ ولدا واقامه عنده

⁴⁷Jesus, perceiving the reasoning of their hearts, took a little child, and set him by his side,

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

⁴⁸and said to them, “Whoever receives this little child in my name receives me. Whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For whoever is least among you all, this one will be great.”

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

⁴⁹John answered, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he doesn’t follow with us.”

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

⁵⁰Jesus said to him, “Don’t forbid him, for he who is not against us is for us.”

⁵¹وحين تمت الايام لارتفاعه ثبّت وجهه لينطلق الى اورشليم.

⁵¹It came to pass, when the days were near that he should be taken up, he intently set his face to go to Jerusalem,

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

⁵²and sent messengers before his face. They went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, so as to prepare for him.

⁵³فلم يقبلوه لان وجهه كان متجها نحو اورشليم.

⁵³They didn’t receive him, because he was traveling with his face set towards Jerusalem.

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

⁵⁴When his disciples, James and John, saw this, they said, “Lord, do you want us to command fire to come down from the sky, and destroy them, just as Elijah did?”

⁵⁵فالتفت وانتهرهما وقال لستما تعلمان من اي روح انتما.

⁵⁵But he turned and rebuked them, “You don’t know of what kind of spirit you are.

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

⁵⁶ For the Son of Man didn’t come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them.” They went to another village.

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

⁵⁷As they went on the way, a certain man said to him, “I want to follow you wherever you go, Lord.”

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

⁵⁸Jesus said to him, “The foxes have holes, and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.”

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

⁵⁹He said to another, “Follow me!” But he said, “Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.”

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

⁶⁰But Jesus said to him, “Leave the dead to bury their own dead, but you go and announce the Kingdom of God.”

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

⁶¹Another also said, “I want to follow you, Lord, but first allow me to say good-bye to those who are 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 put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the Kingdom of God.”
