¹واجتمع اليه الفريسيون وقوم من الكتبة قادمين من اورشليم.

¹Then the Pharisees, and some of the scribes gathered together to him, having come from Jerusalem.

²ولما رأوا بعضا من تلاميذه يأكلون خبزا بايد دنسة اي غير مغسولة لاموا.

²Now when they saw some of his disciples eating bread with defiled, that is, unwashed, hands, they found fault.

³لان الفريسيين وكل اليهود ان لم يغسلوا ايديهم باعتناء لا يأكلون. متمسكين بتقليد الشيوخ.

³(For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, don’t eat unless they wash their hands and forearms, holding to the tradition of the elders.

⁴ومن السوق ان لم يغتسلوا لا يأكلون. واشياء اخرى كثيرة تسلموها للتمسك بها من غسل كؤوس واباريق وآنية نحاس واسرّة.

⁴They don’t eat when they come from the marketplace, unless they bathe themselves, and there are many other things, which they have received to hold to: washings of cups, pitchers, bronze vessels, and couches.)

⁵ثم سأله الفريسيون والكتبة لماذا لا يسلك تلاميذك حسب تقليد الشيوخ بل يأكلون خبزا بأيد غير مغسولة.

⁵The Pharisees and the scribes asked him, “Why don’t your disciples walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat their bread with unwashed hands?”

⁶فاجاب وقال لهم حسنا تنبأ اشعياء عنكم انتم المرائين كما هو مكتوب. هذا الشعب يكرمني بشفتيه واما قلبه فمبتعد عني بعيدا.

⁶He answered them, “Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, ‘This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

⁷وباطلا يعبدونني وهم يعلمون تعاليم هي وصايا الناس.

⁷ But in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’ Isaiah 29:13

⁸لانكم تركتم وصية الله وتتمسكون بتقليد الناس. غسل الاباريق والكؤوس وامورا أخر كثيرة مثل هذه تفعلون.

⁸ “For you set aside the commandment of God, and hold tightly to the tradition of men—the washing of pitchers and cups, and you do many other such things.”

⁹ثم قال لهم حسنا رفضتم وصية الله لتحفظوا تقليدكم.

⁹He said to them, “Full well do you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition.

¹⁰لان موسى قال اكرم اباك وامك. ومن يشتم ابا او اما فليمت موتا.

¹⁰ For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother;’ Exodus 20:12; Deuteronomy 5:16 and, ‘He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to death.’ Exodus 21:17; Leviticus 20:9

¹¹واما انتم فتقولون ان قال انسان لابيه او امه قربان اي هدية هو الذي تنتفع به مني.

¹¹ But you say, ‘If a man tells his father or his mother, “Whatever profit you might have received from me is Corban Corban is a Hebrew word for an offering devoted to God. , that is to say, given to God”;’

¹²فلا تدعونه في ما بعد يفعل شيئا لابيه او امه.

¹² then you no longer allow him to do anything for his father or his mother,

¹³مبطلين كلام الله بتقليدكم الذي سلمتموه. وأمورا كثيرة مثل هذه تفعلون

¹³ making void the word of God by your tradition, which you have handed down. You do many things like this.”

¹⁴ثم دعا كل الجمع وقال لهم اسمعوا مني كلكم وافهموا.

¹⁴He called all the multitude to himself, and said to them, “Hear me, all of you, and understand.

¹⁵ليس شيء من خارج الانسان اذا دخل فيه يقدر ان ينجسه. لكن الاشياء التي تخرج منه هي التي تنجس الانسان.

¹⁵ There is nothing from outside of the man, that going into him can defile him; but the things which proceed out of the man are those that defile the man.

¹⁶ان كان لاحد اذنان للسمع فليسمع.

¹⁶ If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear!”

¹⁷ولما دخل من عند الجمع الى البيت سأله تلاميذه عن المثل.

¹⁷When he had entered into a house away from the multitude, his disciples asked him about the parable.

¹⁸فقال لهم أفانتم ايضا هكذا غير فاهمين. أما تفهمون ان كل ما يدخل الانسان من خارج لا يقدر ان ينجسه.

¹⁸He said to them, “Are you thus without understanding also? Don’t you perceive that whatever goes into the man from outside can’t defile him,

¹⁹لانه لا يدخل الى قلبه بل الى الجوف ثم يخرج الى الخلاء وذلك يطهر كل الاطعمة.

¹⁹ because it doesn’t go into his heart, but into his stomach, then into the latrine, thus purifying all foods or, making all foods clean ?”

²⁰ثم قال ان الذي يخرج من الانسان ذلك ينجس الانسان.

²⁰He said, “That which proceeds out of the man, that defiles the man.

²¹لانه من الداخل من قلوب الناس تخرج الافكار الشريرة زنى فسق قتل

²¹ For from within, out of the hearts of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, sexual sins, murders, thefts,

²²سرقة طمع خبث مكر عهارة عين شريرة تجديف كبرياء جهل.

²² covetings, wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, and foolishness.

²³جميع هذه الشرور تخرج من الداخل وتنجس الانسان

²³ All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.”

²⁴ثم قام من هناك ومضى الى تخوم صور وصيدا. ودخل بيتا وهو يريد ان لا يعلم احد. فلم يقدر ان يختفي.

²⁴From there he arose, and went away into the borders of Tyre and Sidon. He entered into a house, and didn’t want anyone to know it, but he couldn’t escape notice.

²⁵لان امرأة كان بابنتها روح نجس سمعت به فأتت وخرّت عند قدميه.

²⁵For a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having heard of him, came and fell down at his feet.

²⁶وكانت المرأة اممية وفي جنسها فينيقية سورية. فسألته ان يخرج الشيطان من ابنتها.

²⁶Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. She begged him that he would cast the demon out of her daughter.

²⁷واما يسوع فقال لها دعي البنين اولا يشبعون. لانه ليس حسنا ان يؤخذ خبز البنين ويطرح للكلاب.

²⁷But Jesus said to her, “Let the children be filled first, for it is not appropriate to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.”

²⁸فاجابت وقالت له نعم يا سيد. والكلاب ايضا تحت المائدة تأكل من فتات البنين.

²⁸But she answered him, “Yes, Lord. Yet even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.”

²⁹فقال لها. لاجل هذه الكلمة اذهبي. قد خرج الشيطان من ابنتك.

²⁹He said to her, “For this saying, go your way. The demon has gone out of your daughter.”

³⁰فذهبت الى بيتها ووجدت الشيطان قد خرج والابنة مطروحة على الفراش

³⁰She went away to her house, and found the child having been laid on the bed, with the demon gone out.

³¹ثم خرج ايضا من تخوم صور وصيدا وجاء الى بحر الجليل في وسط حدود المدن العشر.

³¹Again he departed from the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and came to the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the region of Decapolis.

³²وجاءوا اليه بأصم أعقد وطلبوا اليه ان يضع يده عليه.

³²They brought to him one who was deaf and had an impediment in his speech. They begged him to lay his hand on him.

³³فأخذه من بين الجمع على ناحية ووضع اصابعه في اذنيه وتفل ولمس لسانه.

³³He took him aside from the multitude, privately, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spat, and touched his tongue.

³⁴ورفع نظره نحو السماء وأنّ وقال له إفّثا. اي انفتح.

³⁴Looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said to him, “Ephphatha!” that is, “Be opened!”

³⁵وللوقت انفتحت اذناه وانحل رباط لسانه وتكلم مستقيما.

³⁵Immediately his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was released, and he spoke clearly.

³⁶فاوصاهم ان لا يقولوا لاحد. ولكن على قدر ما اوصاهم كانوا ينادون اكثر كثيرا.

³⁶He commanded them that they should tell no one, but the more he commanded them, so much the more widely they proclaimed it.

³⁷وبهتوا الى الغاية قائلين انه عمل كل شيء حسنا. جعل الصم يسمعون والخرس يتكلمون

³⁷They were astonished beyond measure, saying, “He has done all things well. He makes even the deaf hear, and the mute speak!”
