Mark 8

فِي تِلْكَ الأَيَّامِ إِذْ كَانَ الْجَمْعُ كَثِيرًا جِدًّا، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُمْ مَا يَأْكُلُونَ، دَعَا يَسُوعُ تَلاَمِيذَهُ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ:

In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples unto him, and saith unto them,

«إِنِّي أُشْفِقُ عَلَى الْجَمْعِ، لأَنَّ الآنَ لَهُمْ ثَلاَثَةَ أَيَّامٍ يَمْكُثُونَ مَعِي وَلَيْسَ لَهُمْ مَا يَأْكُلُونَ.

I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat:

وَإِنْ صَرَفْتُهُمْ إِلَى بُيُوتِهِمْ صَائِمِينَ يُخَوِّرُونَ فِي الطَّرِيقِ، لأَنَّ قَوْمًا مِنْهُمْ جَاءُوا مِنْ بَعِيدٍ».

And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for divers of them came from far.

فَأَجَابَهُ تَلاَمِيذُهُ:«مِنْ أَيْنَ يَسْتَطِيعُ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يُشْبِعَ هؤُلاَءِ خُبْزًا هُنَا فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ؟»

And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these men with bread here in the wilderness?

فَسَأَلَهُمْ:«كَمْ عِنْدَكُمْ مِنَ الْخُبْزِ؟» فَقَالُوا:«سَبْعَةٌ».

And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.

فَأَمَرَ الْجَمْعَ أَنْ يَتَّكِئُوا عَلَى الأَرْضِ، وَأَخَذَ السَّبْعَ خُبْزَاتٍ وَشَكَرَ وَكَسَرَ وَأَعْطَى تَلاَمِيذَهُ لِيُقَدِّمُوا، فَقَدَّمُوا إِلَى الْجَمْعِ.

And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to his disciples to set before them; and they did set them before the people.

وَكَانَ مَعَهُمْ قَلِيلٌ مِنْ صِغَارِ السَّمَكِ، فَبَارَكَ وَقَالَ أَنْ يُقَدِّمُوا هذِهِ أَيْضًا.

And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded to set them also before them.

فَأَكَلُوا وَشَبِعُوا. ثُمَّ رَفَعُوا فَضَلاَتِ الْكِسَرِ: سَبْعَةَ سِلاَل.

So they did eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets.

وَكَانَ الآكِلُونَ نَحْوَ أَرْبَعَةِ آلاَفٍ. ثُمَّ صَرَفَهُمْ.

And they that had eaten were about four thousand: and he sent them away.

وَلِلْوَقْتِ دَخَلَ السَّفِينَةَ مَعَ تَلاَمِيذِهِ وَجَاءَ إِلَى نَوَاحِي دَلْمَانُوثَةَ.

And straightway he entered into a ship with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha.

فَخَرَجَ الْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ وَابْتَدَأُوا يُحَاوِرُونَهُ طَالِبِينَ مِنْهُ آيَةً مِنَ السَّمَاءِ، لِكَيْ يُجَرِّبُوهُ.

And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him.

فَتَنَهَّدَ بِرُوحِهِ وَقَالَ:«لِمَاذَا يَطْلُبُ هذَا الْجِيلُ آيَةً؟ اَلْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: لَنْ يُعْطَى هذَا الْجِيلُ آيَةً!»

And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek after a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation.

ثُمَّ تَرَكَهُمْ وَدَخَلَ أَيْضًا السَّفِينَةَ وَمَضَى إِلَى الْعَبْرِ.

And he left them, and entering into the ship again departed to the other side.

وَنَسُوا أَنْ يَأْخُذُوا خُبْزًا، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ مَعَهُمْ فِي السَّفِينَةِ إِلاَّ رَغِيفٌ وَاحِدٌ.

Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, neither had they in the ship with them more than one loaf.

وَأَوْصَاهُمْ قَائِلاً: «انْظُرُوا! وَتَحَرَّزُوا مِنْ خَمِيرِ الْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ وَخَمِيرِ هِيرُودُسَ»

And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod.

فَفَكَّرُوا قَائِلِينَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ: «لَيْسَ عِنْدَنَا خُبْزٌ».

And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have no bread.

فَعَلِمَ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «لِمَاذَا تُفَكِّرُونَ أَنْ لَيْسَ عِنْدَكُمْ خُبْزٌ؟ أَلاَ تَشْعُرُونَ بَعْدُ وَلاَ تَفْهَمُونَ؟ أَحَتَّى الآنَ قُلُوبُكُمْ غَلِيظَةٌ؟

And when Jesus knew it, he saith unto them, Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither understand? have ye your heart yet hardened?

أَلَكُمْ أَعْيُنٌ وَلاَ تُبْصِرُونَ، وَلَكُمْ آذَانٌ وَلاَ تَسْمَعُونَ، وَلاَ تَذْكُرُونَ؟

Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?

حِينَ كَسَّرْتُ الأَرْغِفَةَ الْخَمْسَةَ لِلْخَمْسَةِ الآلاَفِ، كَمْ قُفَّةً مَمْلُوَّةً كِسَرًا رَفَعْتُمْ؟» قَالُوا لَهُ:«اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ».

When I brake the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say unto him, Twelve.

«وَحِينَ السَّبْعَةِ لِلأَرْبَعَةِ الآلاَفِ، كَمْ سَلَّ كِسَرٍ مَمْلُوًّا رَفَعْتُمْ؟» قَالُوا:«سَبْعَةً».

And when the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven.

فَقَالَ لَهُمْ:«كَيْفَ لاَ تَفْهَمُونَ؟»

And he said unto them, How is it that ye do not understand?

وَجَاءَ إِلَى بَيْتِ صَيْدَا، فَقَدَّمُوا إِلَيْهِ أَعْمَى وَطَلَبُوا إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يَلْمِسَهُ،

And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him.

فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِ الأَعْمَى وَأَخْرَجَهُ إِلَى خَارِجِ الْقَرْيَةِ، وَتَفَلَ فِي عَيْنَيْهِ، وَوَضَعَ يَدَيْهِ عَلَيْهِ وَسَأَلَهُ: هَلْ أَبْصَرَ شَيْئًا؟

And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought.

فَتَطَلَّعَ وَقَالَ:«أُبْصِرُ النَّاسَ كَأَشْجَارٍ يَمْشُونَ».

And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.

ثُمَّ وَضَعَ يَدَيْهِ أَيْضًا عَلَى عَيْنَيْهِ، وَجَعَلَهُ يَتَطَلَّعُ. فَعَادَ صَحِيحًا وَأَبْصَرَ كُلَّ إِنْسَانٍ جَلِيًّا.

After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.

فَأَرْسَلَهُ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ قَائِلاً:«لاَ تَدْخُلِ الْقَرْيَةَ، وَلاَ تَقُلْ لأَحَدٍ فِي الْقَرْيَةِ».

And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the town, nor tell it to any in the town.

ثُمَّ خَرَجَ يَسُوعُ وَتَلامِيذُهُ إِلَى قُرَى قَيْصَرِيَّةِ فِيلُبُّسَ. وَفِي الطَّرِيقِ سَأَلَ تَلاَمِيذَهُ قِائِلاً لَهُمْ: «مَنْ يَقُولُ النَّاسُ إِنِّي أَنَا؟»

And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of Cæsarea Philippi: and by the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Whom do men say that I am?

فَأَجَابُوا:«يُوحَنَّا الْمَعْمَدَانُ. وَآخَرُونَ: إِيلِيَّا. وَآخَرُونَ: وَاحِدٌ مِنَ الأَنْبِيَاءِ».

And they answered, John the Baptist: but some say, Elias; and others, One of the prophets.

فَقَالَ لَهُمْ:«وَأَنْتُمْ، مَنْ تَقُولُونَ إِنِّي أَنَا؟» فَأَجَابَ بُطْرُسُ وَقَالَ لَهُ:«أَنْتَ الْمَسِيحُ!»

And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ.

فَانْتَهَرَهُمْ كَيْ لاَ يَقُولُوا لأَحَدٍ عَنْهُ.

And he charged them that they should tell no man of him.

وَابْتَدَأَ يُعَلِّمُهُمْ أَنَّ ابْنَ الإِنْسَانِ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يَتَأَلَّمَ كَثِيرًا، وَيُرْفَضَ مِنَ الشُّيُوخِ وَرُؤَسَاءِ الْكَهَنَةِ وَالْكَتَبَةِ، وَيُقْتَلَ، وَبَعْدَ ثَلاَثَةِ أَيَّامٍ يَقُومُ.

And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.

وَقَالَ الْقَوْلَ عَلاَنِيَةً. فَأَخَذَهُ بُطْرُسُ إِلَيْهِ وَابْتَدَأَ يَنْتَهِرُهُ.

And he spake that saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.

فَالْتَفَتَ وَأَبْصَرَ تَلاَمِيذَهُ، فَانْتَهَرَ بُطْرُسَ قَائِلاً: «اذْهَبْ عَنِّي يَا شَيْطَانُ! لأَنَّكَ لاَ تَهْتَمُّ بِمَا ِللهِ لكِنْ بِمَا لِلنَّاسِ».

But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men.

وَدَعَا الْجَمْعَ مَعَ تَلاَمِيذِهِ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ:«مَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ وَرَائِي فَلْيُنْكِرْ نَفْسَهُ وَيَحْمِلْ صَلِيبَهُ وَيَتْبَعْنِي.

And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

فَإِنَّ مَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُخَلِّصَ نَفْسَهُ يُهْلِكُهَا، وَمَنْ يُهْلِكُ نَفْسَهُ مِنْ أَجْلِي وَمِنْ أَجْلِ الإِنْجِيلِ فَهُوَ يُخَلِّصُهَا.

For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.

لأَنَّهُ مَاذَا يَنْتَفِعُ الإِنْسَانُ لَوْ رَبِحَ الْعَالَمَ كُلَّهُ وَخَسِرَ نَفْسَهُ؟

For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

أَوْ مَاذَا يُعْطِي الإِنْسَانُ فِدَاءً عَنْ نَفْسِهِ؟

Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

لأَنَّ مَنِ اسْتَحَى بِي وَبِكَلاَمِي فِي هذَا الْجِيلِ الْفَاسِقِ الْخَاطِئِ، فَإِنَّ ابْنَ الإِنْسَانِ يَسْتَحِي بِهِ مَتَى جَاءَ بِمَجْدِ أَبِيهِ مَعَ الْمَلاَئِكَةِ الْقِدِّيسِينَ».

Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
