¹After he had finished speaking in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum.

¹ولما اكمل اقواله كلها في مسامع الشعب دخل كفرناحوم.

²A certain centurion’s servant, who was dear to him, was sick and at the point of death.

²وكان عبد لقائد مئة مريضا مشرفا على الموت وكان عزيزا عنده.

³When he heard about Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, asking him to come and save his servant.

³فلما سمع عن يسوع ارسل اليه شيوخ اليهود يسأله ان يأتي ويشفي عبده.

⁴When they came to Jesus, they begged him earnestly, saying, “He is worthy for you to do this for him,

⁴فلما جاءوا الى يسوع طلبوا اليه باجتهاد قائلين انه مستحق ان يفعل له هذا.

⁵for he loves our nation, and he built our synagogue for us.”

⁵لانه يحب امتنا وهو بنى لنا المجمع.

⁶Jesus went with them. When he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him, “Lord, don’t trouble yourself, for I am not worthy for you to come under my roof.

⁶فذهب يسوع معهم. واذ كان غير بعيد عن البيت ارسل اليه قائد المئة اصدقاء يقول له يا سيد لا تتعب. لاني لست مستحقا ان تدخل تحت سقفي.

⁷Therefore I didn’t even think myself worthy to come to you; but say the word, and my servant will be healed.

⁷لذلك لم احسب نفسي اهلا ان آتي اليك. لكن قل كلمة فيبرأ غلامي.

⁸For I also am a man placed under authority, having under myself soldiers. I tell this one, ‘Go!’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come!’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”

⁸لاني انا ايضا انسان مرتّب تحت سلطان. لي جند تحت يدي. واقول لهذا اذهب فيذهب ولآخر ائت فيأتي ولعبدي افعل هذا فيفعل.

⁹When Jesus heard these things, he marveled at him, and turned and said to the multitude who followed him, “I tell you, I have not found such great faith, no, not in Israel.”

⁹ولما سمع يسوع هذا تعجب منه والتفت الى الجمع الذي يتبعه وقال اقول لكم لم اجد ولا في اسرائيل ايمانا بمقدار هذا.

¹⁰Those who were sent, returning to the house, found that the servant who had been sick was well.

¹⁰ورجع المرسلون الى البيت فوجدوا العبد المريض قد صحّ

¹¹It happened soon afterwards, that he went to a city called Nain. Many of his disciples, along with a great multitude, went with him.

¹¹وفي اليوم التالي ذهب الى مدينة تدعى نايين وذهب معه كثيرون من تلاميذه وجمع كثير.

¹²Now when he drew near to the gate of the city, behold, one who was dead was carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. Many people of the city were with her.

¹²فلما اقترب الى باب المدينة اذا ميت محمول ابن وحيد لامّه وهي ارملة ومعها جمع كثير من المدينة.

¹³When the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said to her, “Don’t cry.”

¹³فلما رآها الرب تحنن عليها وقال لها لا تبكي.

¹⁴He came near and touched the coffin, and the bearers stood still. He said, “Young man, I tell you, arise!”

¹⁴ثم تقدم ولمس النعش فوقف الحاملون. فقال ايها الشاب لك اقول قم.

¹⁵He who was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother.

¹⁵فجلس الميت وابتدأ يتكلم فدفعه الى امه.

¹⁶Fear took hold of all, and they glorified God, saying, “A great prophet has arisen among us!” and, “God has visited his people!”

¹⁶فاخذ الجميع خوف ومجدوا الله قائلين قد قام فينا نبي عظيم وافتقد الله شعبه.

¹⁷This report went out concerning him in the whole of Judea, and in all the surrounding region.

¹⁷وخرج هذا الخبر عنه في كل اليهودية وفي جميع الكورة المحيطة

¹⁸The disciples of John told him about all these things.

¹⁸فاخبر يوحنا تلاميذه بهذا كله.

¹⁹John, calling to himself two of his disciples, sent them to Jesus, saying, “Are you the one who is coming, or should we look for another?”

¹⁹فدعا يوحنا اثنين من تلاميذه وارسل الى يسوع قائلا انت هو الآتي ام ننتظر آخر.

²⁰When the men had come to him, they said, “John the Baptizer has sent us to you, saying, ‘Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?’”

²⁰فلما جاء اليه الرجلان قالا يوحنا المعمدان قد ارسلنا اليك قائلا انت هو الآتي ام ننتظر آخر.

²¹In that hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits; and to many who were blind he gave sight.

²¹وفي تلك الساعة شفى كثيرين من امراض وادواء وارواح شريرة ووهب البصر لعميان كثيرين.

²²Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John the things which you have seen and heard: that the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.

²²فاجاب يسوع وقال لهما اذهبا واخبرا يوحنا بما رأيتما وسمعتما. ان العمي يبصرون والعرج يمشون والبرص يطهرون والصم يسمعون والموتى يقومون والمساكين يبشرون.

²³ Blessed is he who finds no occasion for stumbling in me.”

²³وطوبى لمن لا يعثر فيّ

²⁴When John’s messengers had departed, he began to tell the multitudes about John, “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

²⁴فلما مضى رسولا يوحنا ابتدأ يقول للجموع عن يوحنا. ماذا خرجتم الى البرية لتنظروا. أقصبة تحركها الريح.

²⁵ But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft clothing? Behold, those who are gorgeously dressed, and live delicately, are in kings’ courts.

²⁵بل ماذا خرجتم لتنظروا أانسانا لابسا ثيابا ناعمة. هوذا الذين في اللباس الفاخر والتنعم هم في قصور الملوك.

²⁶ But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.

²⁶بل ماذا خرجتم لتنظروا. أنبيا. نعم اقول لكم وافضل من نبي.

²⁷ This is he of whom it is written, ‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’ Malachi 3:1

²⁷هذا هو الذي كتب عنه ها انا ارسل امام وجهك ملاكي الذي يهيئ طريقك قدامك.

²⁸ “For I tell you, among those who are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptizer, yet he who is least in the Kingdom of God is greater than he.”

²⁸لاني اقول لكم انه بين المولودين من النساء ليس نبي اعظم من يوحنا المعمدان. ولكن الاصغر في ملكوت الله اعظم منه.

²⁹When all the people and the tax collectors heard this, they declared God to be just, having been baptized with John’s baptism.

²⁹وجميع الشعب اذ سمعوا والعشارين برروا الله معتمدين بمعمودية يوحنا.

³⁰But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the counsel of God, not being baptized by him themselves.

³⁰واما الفريسيون والناموسيون فرفضوا مشورة الله من جهة انفسهم غير معتمدين منه

³¹ TR adds “But the Lord said,” “To what then will I liken the people of this generation? What are they like?

³¹ثم قال الرب فبمن اشبه اناس هذا الجيل وماذا يشبهون.

³² They are like children who sit in the marketplace, and call one to another, saying, ‘We piped to you, and you didn’t dance. We mourned, and you didn’t weep.’

³²يشبهون اولادا جالسين في السوق ينادون بعضهم بعضا ويقولون زمرنا لكم فلم ترقصوا. نحنا لكم فلم تبكوا.

³³ For John the Baptizer came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon.’

³³لانه جاء يوحنا المعمدان لا يأكل خبزا ولا يشرب خمرا فتقولون به شيطان.

³⁴ The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Behold, a gluttonous man, and a drunkard; a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’

³⁴جاء ابن الانسان يأكل ويشرب فتقولون هوذا انسان اكول وشريب خمر. محب للعشارين والخطاة.

³⁵ Wisdom is justified by all her children.”

³⁵والحكمة تبررت من جميع بنيها

³⁶One of the Pharisees invited him to eat with him. He entered into the Pharisee’s house, and sat at the table.

³⁶وسأله واحد من الفريسيين ان يأكل معه فدخل بيت الفريسي واتكأ.

³⁷Behold, a woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that he was reclining in the Pharisee’s house, she brought an alabaster jar of ointment.

³⁷واذا امرأة في المدينة كانت خاطئة اذ علمت انه متكئ في بيت الفريسي جاءت بقارورة طيب

³⁸Standing behind at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and she wiped them with the hair of her head, kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.

³⁸ووقفت عند قدميه من ورائه باكية وابتدأت تبل قدميه بالدموع وكانت تمسحهما بشعر راسها وتقبل قدميه وتدهنهما بالطيب.

³⁹Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw it, he said to himself, “This man, if he were a prophet, would have perceived who and what kind of woman this is who touches him, that she is a sinner.”

³⁹فلما رأى الفريسي الذي دعاه ذلك تكلم في نفسه قائلا لو كان هذا نبيا لعلم من هذه المرأة التي تلمسه وما هي. انها خاطئة.

⁴⁰Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” He said, “Teacher, say on.”

⁴⁰فاجاب يسوع وقال له يا سمعان عندي شيء اقوله لك. فقال قل يا معلّم.

⁴¹ “A certain lender had two debtors. The one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.

⁴¹كان لمداين مديونان. على الواحد خمس مئة دينار وعلى الآخر خمسون.

⁴² When they couldn’t pay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore will love him most?”

⁴²واذ لم يكن لهما ما يوفيان سامحهما جميعا. فقل. ايهما يكون اكثر حبا له.

⁴³Simon answered, “He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the most.” He said to him, “You have judged correctly.”

⁴³فاجاب سمعان وقال اظن الذي سامحه بالاكثر. فقال له بالصواب حكمت.

⁴⁴Turning to the woman, he said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered into your house, and you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head.

⁴⁴ثم التفت الى المرأة وقال لسمعان أتنظر هذه المرأة. اني دخلت بيتك وماء لاجل رجلي لم تعط. واما هي فقد غسلت رجليّ بالدموع ومسحتهما بشعر راسها.

⁴⁵ You gave me no kiss, but she, since the time I came in, has not ceased to kiss my feet.

⁴⁵قبلة لم تقبّلني. واما هي فمنذ دخلت لم تكف عن تقبيل رجليّ.

⁴⁶ You didn’t anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment.

⁴⁶بزيت لم تدهن راسي. واما هي فقد دهنت بالطيب رجليّ.

⁴⁷ Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little.”

⁴⁷من اجل ذلك اقول لك قد غفرت خطاياها الكثيرة لانها احبت كثيرا. والذي يغفر له قليل يحب قليلا.

⁴⁸He said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”

⁴⁸ثم قال لها مغفورة لك خطاياك.

⁴⁹Those who sat at the table with him began to say to themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”

⁴⁹فابتدأ المتكئون معه يقولون في انفسهم من هذا الذي يغفر خطايا ايضا.

⁵⁰He said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”

⁵⁰فقال للمرأة ايمانك قد خلّصك. اذهبي بسلام
