Luke 8

And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him,

وَعَلَى أَثَرِ ذلِكَ كَانَ يَسِيرُ فِي مَدِينَةٍ وَقَرْيَةٍ يَكْرِزُ وَيُبَشِّرُ بِمَلَكُوتِ اللهِ، وَمَعَهُ الاثْنَا عَشَرَ.

And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils,

وَبَعْضُ النِّسَاءِ كُنَّ قَدْ شُفِينَ مِنْ أَرْوَاحٍ شِرِّيرَةٍ وَأَمْرَاضٍ: مَرْيَمُ الَّتِي تُدْعَى الْمَجْدَلِيَّةَ الَّتِي خَرَجَ مِنْهَا سَبْعَةُ شَيَاطِينَ،

And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance.

وَيُوَنَّا امْرَأَةُ خُوزِي وَكِيلِ هِيرُودُسَ، وَسُوسَنَّةُ، وَأُخَرُ كَثِيرَاتٌ كُنَّ يَخْدِمْنَهُ مِنْ أَمْوَالِهِنَّ.

And when much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of every city, he spake by a parable:

فَلَمَّا اجْتَمَعَ جَمْعٌ كَثِيرٌ أَيْضًا مِنَ الَّذِينَ جَاءُوا إِلَيْهِ مِنْ كُلِّ مَدِينَةٍ، قَالَ بِمَثَل:

A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.

«خَرَجَ الزَّارِعُ لِيَزْرَعَ زَرْعَهُ. وَفِيمَا هُوَ يَزْرَعُ سَقَطَ بَعْضٌ عَلَى الطَّرِيقِ، فَانْدَاسَ وَأَكَلَتْهُ طُيُورُ السَّمَاءِ.

And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.

وَسَقَطَ آخَرُ عَلَى الصَّخْرِ، فَلَمَّا نَبَتَ جَفَّ لأَنَّهُ لَمْ تَكُنْ لَهُ رُطُوبَةٌ.

And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it.

وَسَقَطَ آخَرُ فِي وَسْطِ الشَّوْكِ، فَنَبَتَ مَعَهُ الشَّوْكُ وَخَنَقَهُ.

And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

وَسَقَطَ آخَرُ فِي الأَرْضِ الصَّالِحَةِ، فَلَمَّا نَبَتَ صَنَعَ ثَمَرًا مِئَةَ ضِعْفٍ». قَالَ هذَا وَنَادَى:«مَنْ لَهُ أُذْنَانِ لِلسَّمْعِ فَلْيَسْمَعْ!».

And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be?

فَسَأَلَهُ تَلاَمِيذُهُ قَائِلِينَ:«مَا عَسَى أَنْ يَكُونَ هذَا الْمَثَلُ؟».

And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.

فَقَالَ:«لَكُمْ قَدْ أُعْطِيَ أَنْ تَعْرِفُوا أَسْرَارَ مَلَكُوتِ اللهِ، وَأَمَّا لِلْبَاقِينَ فَبِأَمْثَال، حَتَّى إِنَّهُمْ مُبْصِرِينَ لاَ يُبْصِرُونَ، وَسَامِعِينَ لاَ يَفْهَمُونَ.

Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

وَهذَا هُوَ الْمَثَلُ: الزَّرْعُ هُوَ كَلاَمُ اللهِ،

Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.

وَالَّذِينَ عَلَى الطَّرِيقِ هُمُ الَّذِينَ يَسْمَعُونَ، ثُمَّ يَأْتِي إِبْلِيسُ وَيَنْزِعُ الْكَلِمَةَ مِنْ قُلُوبِهِمْ لِئَلاَّ يُؤْمِنُوا فَيَخْلُصُوا.

They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.

وَالَّذِينَ عَلَى الصَّخْرِ هُمُ الَّذِينَ مَتَى سَمِعُوا يَقْبَلُونَ الْكَلِمَةَ بِفَرَحٍ، وَهؤُلاَءِ لَيْسَ لَهُمْ أَصْلٌ، فَيُؤْمِنُونَ إِلَى حِينٍ، وَفِي وَقْتِ التَّجْرِبَةِ يَرْتَدُّونَ.

And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.

وَالَّذِي سَقَطَ بَيْنَ الشَّوْكِ هُمُ الَّذِينَ يَسْمَعُونَ، ثُمَّ يَذْهَبُونَ فَيَخْتَنِقُونَ مِنْ هُمُومِ الْحَيَاةِ وَغِنَاهَا وَلَذَّاتِهَا، وَلاَ يُنْضِجُونَ ثَمَرًا.

But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.

وَالَّذِي فِي الأَرْضِ الْجَيِّدَةِ، هُوَ الَّذِينَ يَسْمَعُونَ الْكَلِمَةَ فَيَحْفَظُونَهَا فِي قَلْبٍ جَيِّدٍ صَالِحٍ، وَيُثْمِرُونَ بِالصَّبْرِ.

No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light.

«وَلَيْسَ أَحَدٌ يُوقِدُ سِرَاجًا وَيُغَطِّيهِ بِإِنَاءٍ أَوْ يَضَعُهُ تَحْتَ سَرِيرٍ، بَلْ يَضَعُهُ عَلَى مَنَارَةٍ، لِيَنْظُرَ الدَّاخِلُونَ النُّورَ.

For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.

لأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ خَفِيٌّ لاَ يُظْهَرُ، وَلاَ مَكْتُومٌ لاَ يُعْلَمُ وَيُعْلَنُ.

Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have.

فَانْظُرُوا كَيْفَ تَسْمَعُونَ، لأَنَّ مَنْ لَهُ سَيُعْطَى، وَمَنْ لَيْسَ لَهُ فَالَّذِي يَظُنُّهُ لَهُ يُؤْخَذُ مِنْهُ».

Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come at him for the press.

وَجَاءَ إِلَيْهِ أُمُّهُ وَإِخْوَتُهُ، وَلَمْ يَقْدِرُوا أَنْ يَصِلُوا إِلَيْهِ لِسَبَبِ الْجَمْعِ.

And it was told him by certain which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee.

فَأَخْبَرُوهُ قَائِلِينَ:«أُمُّكَ وَإِخْوَتُكَ وَاقِفُونَ خَارِجًا، يُرِيدُونَ أَنْ يَرَوْكَ».

And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it.

فَأَجَابَ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ:«أُمِّي وَإِخْوَتِي هُمُ الَّذِينَ يَسْمَعُونَ كَلِمَةَ اللهِ وَيَعْمَلُونَ بِهَا».

Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake. And they launched forth.

وَفِي أَحَدِ الأَيَّامِ دَخَلَ سَفِينَةً هُوَ وَتَلاَمِيذُهُ، فَقَالَ لَهُمْ:«لِنَعْبُرْ إِلَى عَبْرِ الْبُحَيْرَةِ». فَأَقْلَعُوا.

But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy.

وَفِيمَا هُمْ سَائِرُونَ نَامَ. فَنَزَلَ نَوْءُ رِيحٍ فِي الْبُحَيْرَةِ، وَكَانُوا يَمْتَلِئُونَ مَاءً وَصَارُوا فِي خَطَرٍ.

And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.

فَتَقَدَّمُوا وَأَيْقَظُوهُ قَائِلِينَ:«يَا مُعَلِّمُ، يَا مُعَلِّمُ، إِنَّنَا نَهْلِكُ!». فَقَامَ وَانْتَهَرَ الرِّيحَ وَتَمَوُّجَ الْمَاءِ، فَانْتَهَيَا وَصَارَ هُدُوُّ.

And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him.

ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُمْ:«أَيْنَ إِيمَانُكُمْ؟» فَخَافُوا وَتَعَجَّبُوا قَائِلِينَ فِيمَا بَيْنَهُمْ: «مَنْ هُوَ هذَا؟ فَإِنَّهُ يَأْمُرُ الرِّيَاحَ أَيْضًا وَالْمَاءَ فَتُطِيعُهُ!».

And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee.

وَسَارُوا إِلَى كُورَةِ الْجَدَرِيِّينَ الَّتِي هِيَ مُقَابِلَ الْجَلِيلِ.

And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes, neither abode in any house, but in the tombs.

وَلَمَّا خَرَجَ إِلَى الأَرْضِ اسْتَقْبَلَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ كَانَ فِيهِ شَيَاطِينُ مُنْذُ زَمَانٍ طَوِيل، وَكَانَ لاَ يَلْبَسُ ثَوْبًا، وَلاَ يُقِيمُ فِي بَيْتٍ، بَلْ فِي الْقُبُورِ.

When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not.

فَلَمَّا رَأَى يَسُوعَ صَرَخَ وَخَرَّ لَهُ، وَقَالَ بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ:«مَا لِي وَلَكَ يَا يَسُوعُ ابْنَ اللهِ الْعَلِيِّ؟ أَطْلُبُ مِنْكَ أَنْ لاَ تُعَذِّبَنِي!».

(For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters; and he brake the bands, and was driven of the devil into the wilderness.)

لأَنَّهُ أَمَرَ الرُّوحَ النَّجِسَ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ مِنَ الإِنْسَانِ. لأَنَّهُ مُنْذُ زَمَانٍ كَثِيرٍ كَانَ يَخْطَفُهُ، وَقَدْ رُبِطَ بِسَلاَسِل وَقُيُودٍ مَحْرُوسًا، وَكَانَ يَقْطَعُ الرُّبُطَ وَيُسَاقُ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ إِلَى الْبَرَارِي.

And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him.

فَسَأَلَهُ يَسُوعُ قِائِلاً:«مَا اسْمُكَ؟» فَقَالَ:«لَجِئُونُ». لأَنَّ شَيَاطِينَ كَثِيرَةً دَخَلَتْ فِيهِ.

And they besought him that he would not command them to go out into the deep.

وَطَلَبَ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ لاَ يَأْمُرَهُمْ بِالذَّهَابِ إِلَى الْهَاوِيَةِ.

And there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they besought him that he would suffer them to enter into them. And he suffered them.

وَكَانَ هُنَاكَ قَطِيعُ خَنَازِيرَ كَثِيرَةٍ تَرْعَى فِي الْجَبَلِ، فَطَلَبُوا إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يَأْذَنَ لَهُمْ بِالدُّخُولِ فِيهَا، فَأَذِنَ لَهُمْ.

Then went the devils out of the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were choked.

فَخَرَجَتِ الشَّيَاطِينُ مِنَ الإِنْسَانِ وَدَخَلَتْ فِي الْخَنَازِيرِ، فَانْدَفَعَ الْقَطِيعُ مِنْ عَلَى الْجُرُفِ إِلَى الْبُحَيْرَةِ وَاخْتَنَقَ.

When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and went and told it in the city and in the country.

فَلَمَّا رَأَى الرُّعَاةُ مَا كَانَ هَرَبُوا وَذَهَبُوا وَأَخْبَرُوا فِي الْمَدِينَةِ وَفِي الضِّيَاعِ،

Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.

فَخَرَجُوا لِيَرَوْا مَا جَرَى. وَجَاءُوا إِلَى يَسُوعَ فَوَجَدُوا الإِنْسَانَ الَّذِي كَانَتِ الشَّيَاطِينُ قَدْ خَرَجَتْ مِنْهُ لاَبِسًا وَعَاقِلاً، جَالِسًا عِنْدَ قَدَمَيْ يَسُوعَ، فَخَافُوا.

They also which saw it told them by what means he that was possessed of the devils was healed.

فَأَخْبَرَهُمْ أَيْضًا الَّذِينَ رَأَوْا كَيْفَ خَلَصَ الْمَجْنُونُ.

Then the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes round about besought him to depart from them; for they were taken with great fear: and he went up into the ship, and returned back again.

فَطَلَبَ إِلَيْهِ كُلُّ جُمْهُورِ كُورَةِ الْجَدَرِيِّينَ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ عَنْهُمْ، لأَنَّهُ اعْتَرَاهُمْ خَوْفٌ عَظِيمٌ. فَدَخَلَ السَّفِينَةَ وَرَجَعَ.

Now the man out of whom the devils were departed besought him that he might be with him: but Jesus sent him away, saying,

أَمَّا الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي خَرَجَتْ مِنْهُ الشَّيَاطِينُ فَطَلَبَ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يَكُونَ مَعَهُ، وَلكِنَّ يَسُوعَ صَرَفَهُ قَائِلاً:

Return to thine own house, and shew how great things God hath done unto thee. And he went his way, and published throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done unto him.

«ارْجعْ إِلَى بَيْتِكَ وَحَدِّثْ بِكَمْ صَنَعَ اللهُ بِكَ». فَمَضَى وَهُوَ يُنَادِي فِي الْمَدِينَةِ كُلِّهَا بِكَمْ صَنَعَ بِهِ يَسُوعُ.

And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was returned, the people gladly received him: for they were all waiting for him.

وَلَمَّا رَجَعَ يَسُوعُ قَبِلَهُ الْجَمْعُ لأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا جَمِيعُهُمْ يَنْتَظِرُونَهُ.

And, behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus' feet, and besought him that he would come into his house:

وَإِذَا رَجُلٌ اسْمُهُ يَايِرُسُ قَدْ جَاءَ، وَكَانَ رَئِيسَ الْمَجْمَعِ، فَوَقَعَ عِنْدَ قَدَمَيْ يَسُوعَ وَطَلَبَ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ بَيْتَهُ،

For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay a dying. But as he went the people thronged him.

لأَنَّهُ كَانَ لَهُ بِنْتٌ وَحِيدَةٌ لَهَا نَحْوُ اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً، وَكَانَتْ فِي حَالِ الْمَوْتِ. فَفِيمَا هُوَ مُنْطَلِقٌ زَحَمَتْهُ الْجُمُوعُ.

And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any,

وَامْرَأَةٌ بِنَزْفِ دَمٍ مُنْذُ اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً، وَقَدْ أَنْفَقَتْ كُلَّ مَعِيشَتِهَا لِلأَطِبَّاءِ، وَلَمْ تَقْدِرْ أَنْ تُشْفَى مِنْ أَحَدٍ،

Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched.

جَاءَتْ مِنْ وَرَائِهِ وَلَمَسَتْ هُدْبَ ثَوْبِهِ. فَفِي الْحَالِ وَقَفَ نَزْفُ دَمِهَا.

And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?

فَقَالَ يَسُوعُ:«مَنِ الَّذِي لَمَسَنِي؟» وَإِذْ كَانَ الْجَمِيعُ يُنْكِرُونَ، قَالَ بُطْرُسُ وَالَّذِينَ مَعَهُ: «يَامُعَلِّمُ، الْجُمُوعُ يُضَيِّقُونَ عَلَيْكَ وَيَزْحَمُونَكَ، وَتَقُولُ: مَنِ الَّذِي لَمَسَنِي؟»

And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me.

فَقَالَ يَسُوعُ:«قَدْ لَمَسَنِي وَاحِدٌ، لأَنِّي عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ قُوَّةً قَدْ خَرَجَتْ مِنِّي».

And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.

فَلَمَّا رَأَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ أَنَّهَا لَمْ تَخْتَفِ، جَاءَتْ مُرْتَعِدَةً وَخَرَّتْ لَهُ، وَأَخْبَرَتْهُ قُدَّامَ جَمِيعِ الشَّعْبِ لأَيِّ سَبَبٍ لَمَسَتْهُ، وَكَيْفَ بَرِئَتْ فِي الْحَالِ.

And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.

فَقَالَ لَهَا:«ثِقِي يَا ابْنَةُ، إِيمَانُكِ قَدْ شَفَاكِ، اِذْهَبِي بِسَلاَمٍ».

While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Master.

وَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ يَتَكَلَّمُ، جَاءَ وَاحِدٌ مِنْ دَارِ رَئِيسِ الْمَجْمَعِ قَائِلاً لَهُ:«قَدْ مَاتَتِ ابْنَتُكَ. لاَ تُتْعِبِ الْمُعَلِّمَ».

But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole.

فَسَمِعَ يَسُوعُ، وَأَجَابَهُ قِائِلاً: «لاَتَخَفْ! آمِنْ فَقَطْ، فَهِيَ تُشْفَى».

And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in, save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden.

فَلَمَّا جَاءَ إِلَى الْبَيْتِ لَمْ يَدَعْ أَحَدًا يَدْخُلُ إِلاَّ بُطْرُسَ وَيَعْقُوبَ وَيُوحَنَّا، وَأَبَا الصَّبِيَّةِ وَأُمَّهَا.

And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth.

وَكَانَ الْجَمِيعُ يَبْكُونَ عَلَيْهَا وَيَلْطِمُونَ. فَقَالَ:«لاَ تَبْكُوا. لَمْ تَمُتْ لكِنَّهَا نَائِمَةٌ».

And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.

فَضَحِكُوا عَلَيْهِ، عَارِفِينَ أَنَّهَا مَاتَتْ.

And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise.

فَأَخْرَجَ الْجَمِيعَ خَارِجًا، وَأَمْسَكَ بِيَدِهَا وَنَادَى قَائِلاً:«يَا صَبِيَّةُ، قُومِي!».

And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat.

فَرَجَعَتْ رُوحُهَا وَقَامَتْ فِي الْحَالِ. فَأَمَرَ أَنْ تُعْطَى لِتَأْكُلَ.

And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done.

فَبُهِتَ وَالِدَاهَا. فَأَوْصَاهُمَا أَنْ لاَ يَقُولاَ لأَحَدٍ عَمَّا كَانَ.
