Matthew 14

فِي ذلِكَ الْوَقْتِ سَمِعَ هِيرُودُسُ رَئِيسُ الرُّبْعِ خَبَرَ يَسُوعَ،

At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,

فَقَالَ لِغِلْمَانِهِ:«هذَا هُوَ يُوحَنَّا الْمَعْمَدَانُ قَدْ قَامَ مِنَ الأَمْوَاتِ! وَلِذلِكَ تُعْمَلُ بِهِ الْقُوَّاتُ».

And said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.

فَإِنَّ هِيرُودُسَ كَانَ قَدْ أَمْسَكَ يُوحَنَّا وَأَوْثَقَهُ وَطَرَحَهُ فِي سِجْنٍ مِنْ أَجْلِ هِيرُودِيَّا امْرَأَةِ فِيلُبُّسَ أَخِيهِ،

For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife.

لأَنَّ يُوحَنَّا كَانَ يَقُولُ لَهُ:«لاَ يَحِلُّ أَنْ تَكُونَ لَكَ».

For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.

وَلَمَّا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَقْتُلَهُ خَافَ مِنَ الشَّعْبِ، لأَنَّهُ كَانَ عِنْدَهُمْ مِثْلَ نَبِيٍّ.

And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.

ثُمَّ لَمَّا صَارَ مَوْلِدُ هِيرُودُسَ، رَقَصَتِ ابْنَةُ هِيرُودِيَّا فِي الْوَسْطِ فَسَرَّتْ هِيرُودُسَ.

But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod.

مِنْ ثَمَّ وَعَدَ بِقَسَمٍ أَنَّهُ مَهْمَا طَلَبَتْ يُعْطِيهَا.

Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask.

فَهِيَ إِذْ كَانَتْ قَدْ تَلَقَّنَتْ مِنْ أُمِّهَا قَالَتْ:«أَعْطِني ههُنَا عَلَى طَبَق رَأْسَ يُوحَنَّا الْمَعْمَدَانِ».

And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist's head in a charger.

فَاغْتَمَّ الْمَلِكُ. وَلكِنْ مِنْ أَجْلِ الأَقْسَامِ وَالْمُتَّكِئِينَ مَعَهُ أَمَرَ أَنْ يُعْطَى.

And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath's sake, and them which sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given her.

فَأَرْسَلَ وَقَطَعَ رَأْسَ يُوحَنَّا فِي السِّجْنِ.

And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.

فَأُحْضِرَ رَأْسُهُ عَلَى طَبَق وَدُفِعَ إِلَى الصَّبِيَّةِ، فَجَاءَتْ بِهِ إِلَى أُمِّهَا.

And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the damsel: and she brought it to her mother.

فَتَقَدَّمَ تَلاَمِيذُهُ وَرَفَعُوا الْجَسَدَ وَدَفَنُوهُ. ثُمَّ أَتَوْا وَأَخْبَرُوا يَسُوعَ.

And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus.

فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ يَسُوعُ انْصَرَفَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ فِي سَفِينَةٍ إِلَى مَوْضِعٍ خَلاَءٍ مُنْفَرِدًا. فَسَمِعَ الْجُمُوعُ وَتَبِعُوهُ مُشَاةً مِنَ الْمُدُنِ.

When Jesus heard of it, he departed thence by ship into a desert place apart: and when the people had heard thereof, they followed him on foot out of the cities.

فَلَمَّا خَرَجَ يَسُوعُ أَبْصَرَ جَمْعًا كَثِيرًا فَتَحَنَّنَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَشَفَى مَرْضَاهُمْ.

And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.

وَلَمَّا صَارَ الْمَسَاءُ تَقَدَّمَ إِلَيْهِ تَلاَمِيذُهُ قَائِلِينَ:«الْمَوْضِعُ خَلاَءٌ وَالْوَقْتُ قَدْ مَضَى. اِصْرِفِ الْجُمُوعَ لِكَيْ يَمْضُوا إِلَى الْقُرَى وَيَبْتَاعُوا لَهُمْ طَعَامًا».

And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals.

فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ:«لاَ حَاجَةَ لَهُمْ أَنْ يَمْضُوا. أَعْطُوهُمْ أَنْتُمْ لِيَأْكُلُوا».

But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat.

فَقَالُوا لَهُ:«لَيْسَ عِنْدَنَا ههُنَا إِلاَّ خَمْسَةُ أَرْغِفَةٍ وَسَمَكَتَانِ».

And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes.

فَقَالَ:«ائْتُوني بِهَا إِلَى هُنَا».

He said, Bring them hither to me.

فَأَمَرَ الْجُمُوعَ أَنْ يَتَّكِئُوا عَلَى الْعُشْبِ. ثُمَّ أَخَذَ الأَرْغِفَةَ الْخَمْسَةَ وَالسَّمَكَتَيْنِ، وَرَفَعَ نَظَرَهُ نَحْوَ السَّمَاءِ وَبَارَكَ وَكَسَّرَ وَأَعْطَى الأَرْغِفَةَ لِلتَّلاَمِيذِ، وَالتَّلاَمِيذُ لِلْجُمُوعِ.

And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.

فَأَكَلَ الْجَمِيعُ وَشَبِعُوا. ثُمَّ رَفَعُوا مَا فَضَلَ مِنَ الْكِسَرِ اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ قُفَّةً مَمْلُوءةً.

And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.

وَالآ كِلُونَ كَانُوا نَحْوَ خَمْسَةِ آلاَفِ رَجُل، مَا عَدَا النِّسَاءَ وَالأَوْلاَدَ.

And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.

وَلِلْوَقْتِ أَلْزَمَ يَسُوعُ تَلاَمِيذَهُ أَنْ يَدْخُلُوا السَّفِينَةَ وَيَسْبِقُوهُ إِلَى الْعَبْرِ حَتَّى يَصْرِفَ الْجُمُوعَ.

And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.

وَبَعْدَمَا صَرَفَ الْجُمُوعَ صَعِدَ إِلَى الْجَبَلِ مُنْفَرِدًا لِيُصَلِّيَ. وَلَمَّا صَارَ الْمَسَاءُ كَانَ هُنَاكَ وَحْدَهُ.

And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.

وَأَمَّا السَّفِينَةُ فَكَانَتْ قَدْ صَارَتْ فِي وَسْطِ الْبَحْرِ مُعَذَّبَةً مِنَ الأَمْوَاجِ. لأَنَّ الرِّيحَ كَانَتْ مُضَادَّةً.

But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.

وَفِي الْهَزِيعِ الرَّابعِ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ مَضَى إِلَيْهِمْ يَسُوعُ مَاشِيًا عَلَى الْبَحْرِ.

And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.

فَلَمَّا أَبْصَرَهُ التَّلاَمِيذُ مَاشِيًا عَلَى الْبَحْرِ اضْطَرَبُوا قَائِلِينَ:«إِنَّهُ خَيَالٌ». وَمِنَ الْخَوْفِ صَرَخُوا!

And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.

فَلِلْوَقْتِ كَلَّمَهُمْ يَسُوعُ قِائِلاً: «تَشَجَّعُوا! أَنَا هُوَ. لاَ تَخَافُوا».

But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.

فَأَجَابَهُ بُطْرُسُ وَقَالَ:«يَا سَيِّدُ، إِنْ كُنْتَ أَنْتَ هُوَ، فَمُرْني أَنْ آتِيَ إِلَيْكَ عَلَى الْمَاءِ».

And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.

فَقَالَ:«تَعَالَ». فَنَزَلَ بُطْرُسُ مِنَ السَّفِينَةِ وَمَشَى عَلَى الْمَاءِ لِيَأْتِيَ إِلَى يَسُوعَ.

And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.

وَلكِنْ لَمَّا رَأَى الرِّيحَ شَدِيدَةً خَافَ. وَإِذِ ابْتَدَأَ يَغْرَقُ، صَرَخَ قِائِلاً:«يَارَبُّ، نَجِّنِي!».

But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.

فَفِي الْحَالِ مَدَّ يَسُوعُ يَدَهُ وَأَمْسَكَ بِهِ وَقَالَ لَهُ:«يَا قَلِيلَ الإِيمَانِ، لِمَاذَا شَكَكْتَ؟»

And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?

وَلَمَّا دَخَلاَ السَّفِينَةَ سَكَنَتِ الرِّيحُ.

And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.

وَالَّذِينَ فِي السَّفِينَةِ جَاءُوا وَسَجَدُوا لَهُ قَائِلِينَ:«بِالْحَقِيقَةِ أَنْتَ ابْنُ اللهِ!».

Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.

فَلَمَّا عَبَرُوا جَاءُوا إِلَى أَرْضِ جَنِّيسَارَتَ،

And when they were gone over, they came into the land of Gennesaret.

فَعَرَفَهُ رِجَالُ ذلِكَ الْمَكَانِ. فَأَرْسَلُوا إِلَى جَمِيعِ تِلْكَ الْكُورَةِ الْمُحِيطَةِ وَأَحْضَرُوا إِلَيْهِ جَمِيعَ الْمَرْضَى،

And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto him all that were diseased;

وَطَلَبُوا إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يَلْمِسُوا هُدْبَ ثَوْبِهِ فَقَطْ. فَجَمِيعُ الَّذِينَ لَمَسُوهُ نَالُوا الشِّفَاءَ.

And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole.
