1ثم دخل كفرناحوم ايضا بعد ايام فسمع انه في بيت.
1When he entered again into Capernaum after some days, it was heard that he was in the house.
2وللوقت اجتمع كثيرون حتى لم يعد يسع ولا ما حول الباب. فكان يخاطبهم بالكلمة.
2Immediately many were gathered together, so that there was no more room, not even around the door; and he spoke the word to them.
3وجاءوا اليه مقدمين مفلوجا يحمله اربعة.
3Four people came, carrying a paralytic to him.
4واذ لم يقدروا ان يقتربوا اليه من اجل الجمع كشفوا السقف حيث كان وبعدما نقبوه دلّوا السرير الذي كان المفلوج مضطجعا عليه.
4When they could not come near to him for the crowd, they removed the roof where he was. When they had broken it up, they let down the mat that the paralytic was lying on.
5فلما رأى يسوع ايمانهم قال للمفلوج يا بنيّ مغفورة لك خطاياك.
5Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven you.”
6وكان قوم من الكتبة هناك جالسين يفكرون في قلوبهم
6But there were some of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,
7لماذا يتكلم هذا هكذا بتجاديف. من يقدر ان يغفر خطايا الا الله وحده.
7“Why does this man speak blasphemies like that? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”
8فللوقت شعر يسوع بروحه انهم يفكرون هكذا في انفسهم فقال لهم لماذا تفكرون بهذا في قلوبكم.
8Immediately Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, said to them, “Why do you reason these things in your hearts?
9أيّما ايسر ان يقال للمفلوج مغفورة لك خطاياك. أم ان يقال قم واحمل سريرك وامش.
9 Which is easier, to tell the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven;’ or to say, ‘Arise, and take up your bed, and walk?’
10ولكن لكي تعلموا ان لابن الانسان سلطانا على الارض ان يغفر الخطايا. قال للمفلوج
10 But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins” —he said to the paralytic—
11لك اقول قم واحمل سريرك واذهب الى بيتك.
11 “I tell you, arise, take up your mat, and go to your house.”
12فقام للوقت وحمل السرير وخرج قدام الكل حتى بهت الجميع ومجّدوا الله قائلين ما رأينا مثل هذا قط.
12He arose, and immediately took up the mat, and went out in front of them all; so that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, “We never saw anything like this!”
13ثم خرج ايضا الى البحر. وأتى اليه كل الجمع فعلّمهم.
13He went out again by the seaside. All the multitude came to him, and he taught them.
14وفيما هو مجتاز رأى لاوي بن حلفى جالسا عند مكان الجباية. فقال له اتبعني. فقام وتبعه.
14As he passed by, he saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus, sitting at the tax office, and he said to him, “Follow me.” And he arose and followed him.
15وفيما هو متكئ في بيته كان كثيرون من العشارين والخطاة يتكئون مع يسوع وتلاميذه لانهم كانوا كثيرين وتبعوه.
15It happened, that he was reclining at the table in his house, and many tax collectors and sinners sat down with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many, and they followed him.
16واما الكتبة والفريسيون فلما رأوه يأكل مع العشارين والخطاة قالوا لتلاميذه ما باله يأكل ويشرب مع العشارين والخطاة.
16The scribes and the Pharisees, when they saw that he was eating with the sinners and tax collectors, said to his disciples, “Why is it that he eats and drinks with tax collectors and sinners?”
17فلما سمع يسوع قال لهم. لا يحتاج الاصحاء الى طبيب بل المرضى. لم آت لادعو ابرارا بل خطاة الى التوبة.
17When Jesus heard it, he said to them, “Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”
18وكان تلاميذ يوحنا والفريسيين يصومون. فجاءوا وقالوا له لماذا يصوم تلاميذ يوحنا والفريسيين واما تلاميذك فلا يصومون.
18John’s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting, and they came and asked him, “Why do John’s disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples don’t fast?”
19فقال لهم يسوع هل يستطيع بنو العرس ان يصوموا والعريس معهم. ما دام العريس معهم لا يستطيعون ان يصوموا.
19Jesus said to them, “Can the groomsmen fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they can’t fast.
20ولكن ستأتي ايام حين يرفع العريس عنهم فحينئذ يصومون في تلك الايام.
20 But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then will they fast in that day.
21ليس احد يخيط رقعة من قطعة جديدة على ثوب عتيق وإلا فالملء الجديد ياخذ من العتيق فيصير الخرق اردأ.
21 No one sews a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, or else the patch shrinks and the new tears away from the old, and a worse hole is made.
22وليس احد يجعل خمرا جديدة في زقاق عتيقة لئلا تشق الخمر الجديدة الزقاق فالخمر تنصب والزقاق تتلف. بل يجعلون خمرا جديدة في زقاق جديدة
22 No one puts new wine into old wineskins, or else the new wine will burst the skins, and the wine pours out, and the skins will be destroyed; but they put new wine into fresh wineskins.”
23واجتاز في السبت بين الزروع. فابتدأ تلاميذه يقطفون السنابل وهم سائرون.
23It happened that he was going on the Sabbath day through the grain fields, and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of grain.
24فقال له الفريسيون. انظر. لماذا يفعلون في السبت ما لا يحل.
24The Pharisees said to him, “Behold, why do they do that which is not lawful on the Sabbath day?”
25فقال لهم أما قرأتم قط ما فعله داود حين احتاج وجاع هو والذين معه.
25He said to them, “Did you never read what David did, when he had need, and was hungry—he, and those who were with him?
26كيف دخل بيت الله في ايام ابيأثار رئيس الكهنة واكل خبز التقدمة الذي لا يحل اكله إلا للكهنة واعطى الذين كانوا معه ايضا.
26 How he entered into God’s house when Abiathar was high priest, and ate the show bread, which is not lawful to eat except for the priests, and gave also to those who were with him?”
27ثم قال لهم السبت انما جعل لاجل الانسان لا الانسان لاجل السبت.
27He said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.
28اذا ابن الانسان هو رب السبت ايضا
28 Therefore the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath.”
