¹وقال لهم الحق اقول لكم ان من القيام ههنا قوما لا يذوقون الموت حتى يروا ملكوت الله قد أتى بقوة

¹He said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, there are some standing here who will in no way taste death until they see the Kingdom of God come with power.”

²وبعد ستة ايام اخذ يسوع بطرس ويعقوب ويوحنا وصعد بهم الى جبل عال منفردين وحدهم. وتغيّرت هيئته قدامهم

²After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John, and brought them up onto a high mountain privately by themselves, and he was changed into another form in front of them.

³وصارت ثيابه تلمع بيضاء جدا كالثلج لا يقدر قصّار على الارض ان يبيض مثل ذلك.

³His clothing became glistening, exceedingly white, like snow, such as no launderer on earth can whiten them.

⁴وظهر لهم ايليا مع موسى. وكانا يتكلمان مع يسوع.

⁴Elijah and Moses appeared to them, and they were talking with Jesus.

⁵فجعل بطرس يقول ليسوع يا سيدي جيد ان نكون ههنا. فلنصنع ثلاث مظال. لك واحدة ولموسى واحدة ولايليا واحدة.

⁵Peter answered Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let’s make three tents: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”

⁶لانه لم يكن يعلم ما يتكلم به اذ كانوا مرتعبين.

⁶For he didn’t know what to say, for they were very afraid.

⁷وكانت سحابة تظللهم. فجاء صوت من السحابة قائلا هذا هو ابني الحبيب له اسمعوا.

⁷A cloud came, overshadowing them, and a voice came out of the cloud, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.”

⁸فنظروا حولهم بغتة ولم يروا احدا غير يسوع وحده معهم

⁸Suddenly looking around, they saw no one with them any more, except Jesus only.

⁹وفيما هم نازلون من الجبل اوصاهم ان لا يحدثوا احد بما ابصروا الا متى قام ابن الانسان من الاموات.

⁹As they were coming down from the mountain, he commanded them that they should tell no one what things they had seen, until after the Son of Man had risen from the dead.

¹⁰فحفظوا الكلمة لانفسهم يتساءلون ما هو القيام من الاموات.

¹⁰They kept this saying to themselves, questioning what the “rising from the dead” meant.

¹¹فسألوه قائلين لماذا يقول الكتبة ان ايليا ينبغي ان يأتي اولا.

¹¹They asked him, saying, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”

¹²فاجاب وقال لهم ان ايليا يأتي اولا ويرد كل شيء. وكيف هو مكتوب عن ابن الانسان ان يتألم كثيرا ويرذل.

¹²He said to them, “Elijah indeed comes first, and restores all things. How is it written about the Son of Man, that he should suffer many things and be despised?

¹³لكن اقول لكم ان ايليا ايضا قد أتى وعملوا به كل ما ارادوا كما هو مكتوب عنه

¹³ But I tell you that Elijah has come, and they have also done to him whatever they wanted to, even as it is written about him.”

¹⁴ولما جاء الى التلاميذ رأى جمعا كثيرا حولهم وكتبة يحاورونهم.

¹⁴Coming to the disciples, he saw a great multitude around them, and scribes questioning them.

¹⁵وللوقت كل الجمع لما رأوه تحيّروا وركضوا وسلموا عليه.

¹⁵Immediately all the multitude, when they saw him, were greatly amazed, and running to him greeted him.

¹⁶فسأل الكتبة بماذا تحاورونهم.

¹⁶He asked the scribes, “What are you asking them?”

¹⁷فاجاب واحد من الجمع وقال يا معلّم قد قدمت اليك ابني به روح اخرس.

¹⁷One of the multitude answered, “Teacher, I brought to you my son, who has a mute spirit;

¹⁸وحيثما ادركه يمزقه فيزبد ويصرّ باسنانه وييبس. فقلت لتلاميذك ان يخرجوه فلم يقدروا.

¹⁸and wherever it seizes him, it throws him down, and he foams at the mouth, and grinds his teeth, and wastes away. I asked your disciples to cast it out, and they weren’t able.”

¹⁹فاجاب وقال لهم ايها الجيل غير المؤمن الى متى اكون معكم. الى متى احتملكم . ‎ قدموه اليّ.

¹⁹He answered him, “Unbelieving generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him to me.”

²⁰فقدموه اليه. فلما رآه للوقت صرعه الروح فوقع على الارض يتمرغ ويزبد.

²⁰They brought him to him, and when he saw him, immediately the spirit convulsed him, and he fell on the ground, wallowing and foaming at the mouth.

²¹فسأل اباه كم من الزمان منذ اصابه هذا. فقال منذ صباه.

²¹He asked his father, “How long has it been since this has come to him?” He said, “From childhood.

²²وكثيرا ما ألقاه في النار وفي الماء ليهلكه. لكن ان كنت تستطيع شيئا فتحنن علينا واعنّا.

²²Often it has cast him both into the fire and into the water, to destroy him. But if you can do anything, have compassion on us, and help us.”

²³فقال له يسوع ان كنت تستطيع ان تؤمن. كل شيء مستطاع للمؤمن.

²³Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”

²⁴فللوقت صرخ ابو الولد بدموع وقال اؤمن يا سيد فاعن عدم ايماني.

²⁴Immediately the father of the child cried out with tears, “I believe. Help my unbelief!”

²⁵فلما رأى يسوع ان الجمع يتراكضون انتهر الروح النجس قائلا له ايها الروح الاخرس الاصم انا آمرك. اخرج منه ولا تدخله ايضا.

²⁵When Jesus saw that a multitude came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him, “You mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him, and never enter him again!”

²⁶فصرخ وصرعه شديدا وخرج. فصار كميت حتى قال كثيرون انه مات.

²⁶Having cried out, and convulsed greatly, it came out of him. The boy became like one dead; so much that most of them said, “He is dead.”

²⁷فامسكه يسوع بيده واقامه فقام.

²⁷But Jesus took him by the hand, and raised him up; and he arose.

²⁸ولما دخل بيتا سأله تلاميذه على انفراد لماذا لم نقدر نحن ان نخرجه.

²⁸When he had come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, “Why couldn’t we cast it out?”

²⁹فقال لهم هذا الجنس لا يمكن ان يخرج بشيء الا بالصلاة والصوم

²⁹He said to them, “This kind can come out by nothing, except by prayer and fasting.”

³⁰وخرجوا من هناك واجتازوا الجليل ولم يرد ان يعلم احد.

³⁰They went out from there, and passed through Galilee. He didn’t want anyone to know it.

³¹لانه كان يعلّم تلاميذه ويقول لهم ان ابن الانسان يسلم الى ايدي الناس فيقتلونه. وبعد ان يقتل يقوم في اليوم الثالث.

³¹For he was teaching his disciples, and said to them, “The Son of Man is being handed over to the hands of men, and they will kill him; and when he is killed, on the third day he will rise again.”

³²واما هم فلم يفهموا القول وخافوا ان يسألوه

³²But they didn’t understand the saying, and were afraid to ask him.

³³وجاء الى كفرناحوم. واذ كان في البيت سألهم بماذا كنتم تتكالمون فيما بينكم في الطريق.

³³He came to Capernaum, and when he was in the house he asked them, “What were you arguing among yourselves on the way?”

³⁴فسكتوا. لانهم تحاجوا في الطريق بعضهم مع بعض في من هو اعظم.

³⁴But they were silent, for they had disputed one with another on the way about who was the greatest.

³⁵فجلس ونادى الاثني عشر وقال لهم اذا اراد احد ان يكون اولا فيكون آخر الكل وخادما للكل.

³⁵He sat down, and called the twelve; and he said to them, “If any man wants to be first, he shall be last of all, and servant of all.”

³⁶فاخذ ولدا واقامه في وسطهم ثم احتضنه وقال لهم.

³⁶He took a little child, and set him in their midst. Taking him in his arms, he said to them,

³⁷من قبل واحدا من اولاد مثل هذا باسمي يقبلني ومن قبلني فليس يقبلني انا بل الذي ارسلني

³⁷ “Whoever receives one such little child in my name, receives me, and whoever receives me, doesn’t receive me, but him who sent me.”

³⁸فاجابه يوحنا قائلا يا معلّم رأينا واحدا يخرج شياطين باسمك وهو ليس يتبعنا. فمنعناه لانه ليس يتبعنا.

³⁸John said to him, “Teacher, we saw someone who doesn’t follow us casting out demons in your name; and we forbade him, because he doesn’t follow us.”

³⁹فقال يسوع لا تمنعوه. لانه ليس احد يصنع قوة باسمي ويستطيع سريعا ان يقول علي شرا.

³⁹But Jesus said, “Don’t forbid him, for there is no one who will do a mighty work in my name, and be able quickly to speak evil of me.

⁴⁰لان من ليس علينا فهو معنا.

⁴⁰ For whoever is not against us is on our side.

⁴¹لان من سقاكم كاس ماء باسمي لانكم للمسيح فالحق اقول لكم انه لا يضيع اجره.

⁴¹ For whoever will give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because you are Christ’s, most certainly I tell you, he will in no way lose his reward.

⁴²ومن اعثر احد الصغار المؤمنين بي فخير له لو طوق عنقه بحجر رحى وطرح في البحر.

⁴² Whoever will cause one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him if he were thrown into the sea with a millstone hung around his neck.

⁴³وان اعثرتك يدك فاقطعها. خير لك ان تدخل الحياة اقطع من ان تكون لك يدان وتمضي الى جهنم الى النار التي لا تطفأ.

⁴³ If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having your two hands to go into Gehenna, or, Hell into the unquenchable fire,

⁴⁴حيث دودهم لا يموت والنار لا تطفأ.

⁴⁴ ‘where their worm doesn’t die, and the fire is not quenched.’

⁴⁵وان اعثرتك رجلك فاقطعها. خير لك ان تدخل الحياة اعرج من ان تكون لك رجلان وتطرح في جهنم في النار التي لا تطفا.

⁴⁵ If your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life lame, rather than having your two feet to be cast into Gehenna, or, Hell into the fire that will never be quenched—

⁴⁶حيث دودهم لا يموت والنار لا تطفأ.

⁴⁶ ‘where their worm doesn’t die, and the fire is not quenched.’

⁴⁷وان اعثرتك عينك فاقلعها. خير لك ان تدخل ملكوت الله اعور من ان تكون لك عينان وتطرح في جهنم النار.

⁴⁷ If your eye causes you to stumble, cast it out. It is better for you to enter into the Kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the Gehenna or, Hell of fire,

⁴⁸حيث دودهم لا يموت والنار لا تطفأ.

⁴⁸ ‘where their worm doesn’t die, and the fire is not quenched.’ Isaiah 66:24

⁴⁹لان كل واحد يملّح بنار وكل ذبيحة تملّح بملح.

⁴⁹ For everyone will be salted with fire, and every sacrifice will be seasoned with salt.

⁵⁰الملح جيد. ولكن اذا صار الملح بلا ملوحة فبماذا تصلحونه. ليكن لكم في انفسكم ملح وسالموا بعضكم بعضا

⁵⁰ Salt is good, but if the salt has lost its saltiness, with what will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”
