Luke 9

Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.

وَدَعَا تَلاَمِيذَهُ الاثْنَيْ عَشَرَ، وَأَعْطَاهُمْ قُوَّةً وَسُلْطَانًا عَلَى جَمِيعِ الشَّيَاطِينِ وَشِفَاءِ أَمْرَاضٍ،

And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.

وَأَرْسَلَهُمْ لِيَكْرِزُوا بِمَلَكُوتِ اللهِ وَيَشْفُوا الْمَرْضَى.

And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece.

وَقَالَ لَهُمْ:«لاَ تَحْمِلُوا شَيْئًا لِلطَّرِيقِ: لاَ عَصًا وَلاَ مِزْوَدًا وَلاَ خُبْزًا وَلاَ فِضَّةً، وَلاَ يَكُونُ لِلْوَاحِدِ ثَوْبَانِ.

And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence depart.

وَأَيَُّ بَيْتٍ دَخَلْتُمُوهُ فَهُنَاكَ أَقِيمُوا، وَمِنْ هُنَاكَ اخْرُجُوا.

And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.

وَكُلُّ مَنْ لاَ يَقْبَلُكُمْ فَاخْرُجُوا مِنْ تِلْكَ الْمَدِينَةِ، وَانْفُضُوا الْغُبَارَ أَيْضًا عَنْ أَرْجُلِكُمْ شَهَادَةً عَلَيْهِمْ».

And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where.

فَلَمَّا خَرَجُوا كَانُوا يَجْتَازُونَ فِي كُلِّ قَرْيَةٍ يُبَشِّرُونَ وَيَشْفُونَ فِي كُلِّ مَوْضِعٍ.

Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him: and he was perplexed, because that it was said of some, that John was risen from the dead;

فَسَمِعَ هِيرُودُسُ رَئِيسُ الرُّبْعِ بِجَمِيعِ مَا كَانَ مِنْهُ، وَارْتَابَ، لأَنَّ قَوْمًا كَانُوا يَقُولُونَ:«إِنَّ يُوحَنَّا قَدْ قَامَ مِنَ الأَمْوَاتِ».

And of some, that Elias had appeared; and of others, that one of the old prophets was risen again.

وَقَوْمًا:«إِنَّ إِيلِيَّا ظَهَرَ». وَآخَرِينَ:«إِنَّ نَبِيًّا مِنَ الْقُدَمَاءِ قَامَ».

And Herod said, John have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see him.

فَقَالَ هِيرُودُسُ:«يُوحَنَّا أَنَا قَطَعْتُ رَأْسَهُ. فَمَنْ هُوَ هذَا الَّذِي أَسْمَعُ عَنْهُ مِثْلَ هذَا؟» وَكَانَ يَطْلُبُ أَنْ يَرَاهُ.

And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all that they had done. And he took them, and went aside privately into a desert place belonging to the city called Bethsaida.

وَلَمَّا رَجَعَ الرُّسُلُ أَخْبَرُوهُ بِجَمِيعِ مَا فَعَلُوا، فَأَخَذَهُمْ وَانْصَرَفَ مُنْفَرِدًا إِلَى مَوْضِعٍ خَلاَءٍ لِمَدِينَةٍ تُسَمَّى بَيْتَ صَيْدَا.

And the people, when they knew it, followed him: and he received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing.

فَالْجُمُوعُ إِذْ عَلِمُوا تَبِعُوهُ، فَقَبِلَهُمْ وَكَلَّمَهُمْ عَنْ مَلَكُوتِ اللهِ، وَالْمُحْتَاجُونَ إِلَى الشِّفَاءِ شَفَاهُمْ.

And when the day began to wear away, then came the twelve, and said unto him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the towns and country round about, and lodge, and get victuals: for we are here in a desert place.

فَابْتَدَأَ النَّهَارُ يَمِيلُ. فَتَقَدَّمَ الاثْنَا عَشَرَ وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «اصْرِفِ الْجَمْعَ لِيَذْهَبُوا إِلَى الْقُرَى وَالضِّيَاعِ حَوَالَيْنَا فَيَبِيتُوا وَيَجِدُوا طَعَامًا، لأَنَّنَا ههُنَا فِي مَوْضِعٍ خَلاَءٍ».

But he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no more but five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy meat for all this people.

فَقَالَ لَهُمْ:«أَعْطُوهُمْ أَنْتُمْ لِيَأْكُلُوا». فَقَالُوا:«لَيْسَ عِنْدَنَا أَكْثَرُ مِنْ خَمْسَةِ أَرْغِفَةٍ وَسَمَكَتَيْنِ، إِلاَّ أَنْ نَذْهَبَ وَنَبْتَاعَ طَعَامًا لِهذَا الشَّعْبِ كُلِّهِ».

For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down by fifties in a company.

لأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا نَحْوَ خَمْسَةِ آلاَفِ رَجُل. فَقَالَ لِتَلاَمِيذِهِ:«أَتْكِئُوهُمْ فِرَقًا خَمْسِينَ خَمْسِينَ».

And they did so, and made them all sit down.

فَفَعَلُوا هكَذَا، وَأَتْكَأُوا الْجَمِيعَ.

Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and brake, and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude.

فَأَخَذَ الأَرْغِفَةَ الْخَمْسَةَ وَالسَّمَكَتَيْنِ، وَرَفَعَ نَظَرَهُ نَحْوَ السَّمَاءِ وَبَارَكَهُنَّ، ثُمَّ كَسَّرَ وَأَعْطَى التَّلاَمِيذَ لِيُقَدِّمُوا لِلْجَمْعِ.

And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets.

فَأَكَلُوا وَشَبِعُوا جَمِيعًا. ثُمَّ رُفِعَ مَا فَضَلَ عَنْهُمْ مِنَ الْكِسَرِ اثْنَتَا عَشْرَةَ قُفَّةً.

And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying, Whom say the people that I am?

وَفِيمَا هُوَ يُصَلِّي عَلَى انْفِرَادٍ كَانَ التَّلاَمِيذُ مَعَهُ. فَسَأَلَهُمْ قِائِلاً:«مَنْ تَقُولُ الْجُمُوعُ أَنِّي أَنَا؟»

They answering said, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias; and others say, that one of the old prophets is risen again.

فَأَجَابُوا وَقَالوا:«يُوحَنَّا الْمَعْمَدَانُ. وَآخَرُونَ: إِيلِيَّا. وَآخَرُونَ: إِنَّ نَبِيًّا مِنَ الْقُدَمَاءِ قَامَ».

He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering said, The Christ of God.

فَقَالَ لَهُمْ:«وَأَنْتُمْ، مَنْ تَقُولُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا؟» فَأَجَابَ بُطْرُسُ وَقَالَ:«مَسِيحُ اللهِ!».

And he straitly charged them, and commanded them to tell no man that thing;

فَانْتَهَرَهُمْ وَأَوْصَى أَنْ لاَ يَقُولُوا ذلِكَ لأَحَدٍ،

Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day.

قَائِلاً:«إِنَّهُ يَنْبَغِي أَنَّ ابْنَ الإِنْسَانِ يَتَأَلَّمُ كَثِيرًا، وَيُرْفَضُ مِنَ الشُّيُوخِ وَرُؤَسَاءِ الْكَهَنَةِ وَالْكَتَبَةِ، وَيُقْتَلُ، وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ يَقُومُ».

And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

وَقَالَ لِلْجَمِيعِ:«إِنْ أَرَادَ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ وَرَائِي، فَلْيُنْكِرْ نَفْسَهُ وَيَحْمِلْ صَلِيبَهُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ، وَيَتْبَعْنِي.

For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.

فَإِنَّ مَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُخَلِّصَ نَفْسَهُ يُهْلِكُهَا، وَمَنْ يُهْلِكُ نَفْسَهُ مِنْ أَجْلِي فَهذَا يُخَلِّصُهَا.

For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?

لأَنَّهُ مَاذَا يَنْتَفِعُ الإِنْسَانُ لَوْ رَبحَ الْعَالَمَ كُلَّهُ، وَأَهْلَكَ نَفْسَهُ أَوْ خَسِرَهَا؟

For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels.

لأَنَّ مَنِ اسْتَحَى بِي وَبِكَلاَمِي، فَبِهذَا يَسْتَحِي ابْنُ الإِنْسَانِ مَتَى جَاءَ بِمَجْدِهِ وَمَجْدِ الآبِ وَالْمَلاَئِكَةِ الْقِدِّيسِينَ.

But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.

حَقًّا أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ مِنَ الْقِيَامِ ههُنَا قَوْمًا لاَ يَذُوقُونَ الْمَوْتَ حَتَّى يَرَوْا مَلَكُوتَ اللهِ».

And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray.

وَبَعْدَ هذَا الْكَلاَمِ بِنَحْوِ ثَمَانِيَةِ أَيَّامٍ، أَخَذَ بُطْرُسَ وَيُوحَنَّا وَيَعْقُوبَ وَصَعِدَ إِلَى جَبَل لِيُصَلِّيَ.

And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering.

وَفِيمَا هُوَ يُصَلِّي صَارَتْ هَيْئَةُ وَجْهِهِ مُتَغَيِّرَةً، وَلِبَاسُهُ مُبْيَضًّا لاَمِعًا.

And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias:

وَإِذَا رَجُلاَنِ يَتَكَلَّمَانِ مَعَهُ، وَهُمَا مُوسَى وَإِيلِيَّا،

Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem.

اَللَّذَانِ ظَهَرَا بِمَجْدٍ، وَتَكَلَّمَا عَنْ خُرُوجِهِ الَّذِي كَانَ عَتِيدًا أَنْ يُكَمِّلَهُ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ.

But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: and when they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.

وَأَمَّا بُطْرُسُ وَاللَّذَانِ مَعَهُ فَكَانُوا قَدْ تَثَقَّلُوا بِالنَّوْمِ. فَلَمَّا اسْتَيْقَظُوا رَأَوْا مَجْدَهُ، وَالرَّجُلَيْنِ الْوَاقِفَيْنِ مَعَهُ.

And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias: not knowing what he said.

وَفِيمَا هُمَا يُفَارِقَانِهِ قَالَ بُطْرُسُ لِيَسُوعَ: «يَامُعَلِّمُ، جَيِّدٌ أَنْ نَكُونَ ههُنَا. فَلْنَصْنَعْ ثَلاَثَ مَظَالَّ: لَكَ وَاحِدَةً، وَلِمُوسَى وَاحِدَةً، وَلإِيلِيَّا وَاحِدَةً». وَهُوَ لاَ يَعْلَمُ مَا يَقُولُ.

While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.

وَفِيمَا هُوَ يَقُولُ ذلِكَ كَانَتْ سَحَابَةٌ فَظَلَّلَتْهُمْ. فَخَافُوا عِنْدَمَا دَخَلُوا فِي السَّحَابَةِ.

And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.

وَصَارَ صَوْتٌ مِنَ السَّحَابَةِ قَائِلاً:«هذَا هُوَ ابْنِي الْحَبِيبُ. لَهُ اسْمَعُوا».

And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it close, and told no man in those days any of those things which they had seen.

وَلَمَّا كَانَ الصَّوْتُ وُجِدَ يَسُوعُ وَحْدَهُ، وَأَمَّا هُمْ فَسَكَتُوا وَلَمْ يُخْبِرُوا أَحَدًا فِي تِلْكَ الأَيَّامِ بِشَيْءٍ مِمَّا أَبْصَرُوهُ.

And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they were come down from the hill, much people met him.

وَفِي الْيَوْمِ التَّالِي إِذْ نَزَلُوا مِنَ الْجَبَلِ، اسْتَقْبَلَهُ جَمْعٌ كَثِيرٌ.

And, behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee, look upon my son: for he is mine only child.

وَإِذَا رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْجَمْعِ صَرَخَ قِائِلاً:«يَا مُعَلِّمُ، أَطْلُبُ إِلَيْكَ. اُنْظُرْ إِلَى ابْنِي، فَإِنَّهُ وَحِيدٌ لِي.

And, lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it teareth him that he foameth again, and bruising him hardly departeth from him.

وَهَا رُوحٌ يَأْخُذُهُ فَيَصْرُخُ بَغْتَةً، فَيَصْرَعُهُ مُزْبِدًا، وَبِالْجَهْدِ يُفَارِقُهُ مُرَضِّضًا إِيَّاهُ.

And I besought thy disciples to cast him out; and they could not.

وَطَلَبْتُ مِنْ تَلاَمِيذِكَ أَنْ يُخْرِجُوهُ فَلَمْ يَقْدِرُوا».

And Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring thy son hither.

فَأَجَابَ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ:«أَيُّهَا الْجِيلُ غَيْرُ الْمُؤْمِنِ وَالْمُلْتَوِي إِلَى مَتَى أَكُونُ مَعَكُمْ وَأَحْتَمِلُكُمْ؟ قَدِّمِ ابْنَكَ إِلَى هُنَا!».

And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and tare him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him again to his father.

وَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ آتٍ مَزَّقَهُ الشَّيْطَانُ وَصَرَعَهُ، فَانْتَهَرَ يَسُوعُ الرُّوحَ النَّجِسَ، وَشَفَى الصَّبِيَّ وَسَلَّمَهُ إِلَى أَبِيهِ.

And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, he said unto his disciples,

فَبُهِتَ الْجَمِيعُ مِنْ عَظَمَةِ اللهِ. وَإِذْ كَانَ الْجَمِيعُ يَتَعَجَّبُونَ مِنْ كُلِّ مَا فَعَلَ يَسُوعُ، قَالَ لِتَلاَمِيذِهِ:

Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men.

«ضَعُوا أَنْتُمْ هذَا الْكَلاَمَ فِي آذَانِكُمْ: إِنَّ ابْنَ الإِنْسَانِ سَوْفَ يُسَلَّمُ إِلَى أَيْدِي النَّاسِ».

But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him of that saying.

وَأَمَّا هُمْ فَلَمْ يَفْهَمُوا هذَا الْقَوْلَ، وَكَانَ مُخْفىً عَنْهُمْ لِكَيْ لاَ يَفْهَمُوهُ، وَخَافُوا أَنْ يَسْأَلُوهُ عَنْ هذَا الْقَوْلِ.

Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest.

وَدَاخَلَهُمْ فِكْرٌ مَنْ عَسَى أَنْ يَكُونَ أَعْظَمَ فِيهِمْ؟

And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by him,

فَعَلِمَ يَسُوعُ فِكْرَ قَلْبِهِمْ، وَأَخَذَ وَلَدًا وَأَقَامَهُ عِنْدَهُ،

And said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this child in my name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great.

وَقَالَ لَهُمْ:«مَنْ قَبِلَ هذَا الْوَلَدَ بِاسْمِي يَقْبَلُنِي، وَمَنْ قَبِلَنِي يَقْبَلُ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي، لأَنَّ الأَصْغَرَ فِيكُمْ جَمِيعًا هُوَ يَكُونُ عَظِيمًا»

And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us.

فَأجَابَ يُوحَنَّا وَقَالَ:«يَا مُعَلِّمُ، رَأَيْنَا وَاحِدًا يُخْرِجُ الشَّيَاطِينَ بِاسْمِكَ فَمَنَعْنَاهُ، لأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ يَتْبَعُ مَعَنَا».

And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us.

فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ:«لاَ تَمْنَعُوهُ، لأَنَّ مَنْ لَيْسَ عَلَيْنَا فَهُوَ مَعَنَا».

And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,

وَحِينَ تَمَّتِ الأَيَّامُ لارْتِفَاعِهِ ثَبَّتَ وَجْهَهُ لِيَنْطَلِقَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ،

And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.

وَأَرْسَلَ أَمَامَ وَجْهِهِ رُسُلاً، فَذَهَبُوا وَدَخَلُوا قَرْيَةً لِلسَّامِرِيِّينَ حَتَّى يُعِدُّوا لَهُ.

And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem.

فَلَمْ يَقْبَلُوهُ لأَنَّ وَجْهَهُ كَانَ مُتَّجِهًا نَحْوَ أُورُشَلِيمَ.

And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did?

فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذلِكَ تِلْمِيذَاهُ يَعْقُوبُ وَيُوحَنَّا، قَالاَ:«يَارَبُّ، أَتُرِيدُ أَنْ نَقُولَ أَنْ تَنْزِلَ نَارٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ فَتُفْنِيَهُمْ، كَمَا فَعَلَ إِيلِيَّا أَيْضًا؟»

But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.

فَالْتَفَتَ وَانْتَهَرَهُمَا وَقَالَ:«لَسْتُمَا تَعْلَمَانِ مِنْ أَيِّ رُوحٍ أَنْتُمَا!

For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.

لأَنَّ ابْنَ الإِنْسَانِ لَمْ يَأْتِ لِيُهْلِكَ أَنْفُسَ النَّاسِ، بَلْ لِيُخَلِّصَ». فَمَضَوْا إِلَى قَرْيَةٍ أُخْرَى.

And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain man said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.

وَفِيمَا هُمْ سَائِرُونَ فِي الطَّرِيقِ قَالَ لَهُ وَاحِدٌ: «يَا سَيِّدُ، أَتْبَعُكَ أَيْنَمَا تَمْضِي».

And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.

فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ:«لِلثَّعَالِبِ أَوْجِرَةٌ، وَلِطُيُورِ السَّمَاءِ أَوْكَارٌ، وَأَمَّا ابْنُ الإِنْسَانِ فَلَيْسَ لَهُ أَيْنَ يُسْنِدُ رَأْسَهُ».

And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.

وَقَالَ لآخَرَ:«اتْبَعْنِي». فَقَالَ:«يَا سَيِّدُ، ائْذَنْ لِي أَنْ أَمْضِيَ أَوَّلاً وَأَدْفِنَ أَبِي».

Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.

فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ:«دَعِ الْمَوْتَى يَدْفِنُونَ مَوْتَاهُمْ، وَأَمَّا أَنْتَ فَاذْهَبْ وَنَادِ بِمَلَكُوتِ اللهِ».

And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.

وَقَالَ آخَرُ أَيْضًا: «أَتْبَعُكَ يَا سَيِّدُ، وَلكِنِ ائْذَنْ لِي أَوَّلاً أَنْ أُوَدِّعَ الَّذِينَ فِي بَيْتِي».

And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ:«لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ يَضَعُ يَدَهُ عَلَى الْمِحْرَاثِ وَيَنْظُرُ إِلَى الْوَرَاءِ يَصْلُحُ لِمَلَكُوتِ اللهِ».
