لُوقا 8

١ 1 وَعَلَى أَثَرِ ذَلِكَ كَانَ يَسِيرُ فِي مَدِينَةٍ وَقَرْيَةٍ يَكْرِزُ وَيُبَشِّرُ بِمَلَكُوتِ ٱللهِ، وَمَعَهُ ٱلِٱثْنَا عَشَرَ.

And it came to pass afterward, that he went through every city and village, preaching, and making known the good news of the kingdom of God; and the twelve were with him;

٢ 2 وَبَعْضُ ٱلنِّسَاءِ كُنَّ قَدْ شُفِينَ مِنْ أَرْوَاحٍ شِرِّيرَةٍ وَأَمْرَاضٍ: مَرْيَمُ ٱلَّتِي تُدْعَى ٱلْمَجْدَلِيَّةَ ٱلَّتِي خَرَجَ مِنْهَا سَبْعَةُ شَيَاطِينَ،

and also certain women that had been cured of evil spirits and diseases; Mary, called Magdalene, out of whom had gone seven demons,

٣ 3 وَيُوَنَّا ٱمْرَأَةُ خُوزِي وَكِيلِ هِيرُودُسَ، وَسُوسَنَّةُ، وَأُخَرُ كَثِيرَاتٌ كُنَّ يَخْدِمْنَهُ مِنْ أَمْوَالِهِنَّ.

and Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many others, who ministered to him from their means.

٤ 4 فَلَمَّا ٱجْتَمَعَ جَمْعٌ كَثِيرٌ أَيْضًا مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ جَاءُوا إِلَيْهِ مِنْ كُلِّ مَدِينَةٍ، قَالَ بِمَثَلٍ:

And when a great multitude had assembled, and they were coming to him from every city, he spoke by a parable:

٥ 5 «خَرَجَ ٱلزَّارِعُ لِيَزْرَعَ زَرْعَهُ. وَفِيمَا هُوَ يَزْرَعُ سَقَطَ بَعْضٌ عَلَى ٱلطَّرِيقِ، فَٱنْدَاسَ وَأَكَلَتْهُ طُيُورُ ٱلسَّمَاءِ.

The sower went forth to sow his seed; and as he sowed, some fell by the wayside, and it was trodden down, and the birds of the air ate it up.

٦ 6 وَسَقَطَ آخَرُ عَلَى ٱلصَّخْرِ، فَلَمَّا نَبَتَ جَفَّ لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ تَكُنْ لَهُ رُطُوبَةٌ.

And some fell upon the rock; and when it had sprung up, it withered, because it had no moisture.

٧ 7 وَسَقَطَ آخَرُ فِي وَسْطِ ٱلشَّوْكِ، فَنَبَتَ مَعَهُ ٱلشَّوْكُ وَخَنَقَهُ.

And some fell in the midst of thorns; and the thorns grew up with it and choked it.

٨ 8 وَسَقَطَ آخَرُ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلصَّالِحَةِ، فَلَمَّا نَبَتَ صَنَعَ ثَمَرًا مِئَةَ ضِعْفٍ». قَالَ هَذَا وَنَادَى: «مَنْ لَهُ أُذْنَانِ لِلسَّمْعِ فَلْيَسْمَعْ!».

And other seed fell into good ground, and sprung up, and produced fruit a hundred-fold. When he had said these things, he cried: He that has ears to hear, let him hear.

٩ 9 فَسَأَلَهُ تَلَامِيذُهُ قَائِلِينَ: «مَا عَسَى أَنْ يَكُونَ هَذَا ٱلْمَثَلُ؟».

And the disciples asked him, saying: What does this parable mean?

١٠ 10 فَقَالَ: «لَكُمْ قَدْ أُعْطِيَ أَنْ تَعْرِفُوا أَسْرَارَ مَلَكُوتِ ٱللهِ، وَأَمَّا لِلْبَاقِينَ فَبِأَمْثَالٍ، حَتَّى إِنَّهُمْ مُبْصِرِينَ لَا يُبْصِرُونَ، وَسَامِعِينَ لَا يَفْهَمُونَ.

He replied: To you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that when they see, they may not see, and when they hear, they may not understand.

١١ 11 وَهَذَا هُوَ ٱلْمَثَلُ: ٱلزَّرْعُ هُوَ كَلَامُ ٱللهِ،

But the meaning of the parable is this: The seed is the word of God;

١٢ 12 وَٱلَّذِينَ عَلَى ٱلطَّرِيقِ هُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَسْمَعُونَ، ثُمَّ يَأْتِي إِبْلِيسُ وَيَنْزِعُ ٱلْكَلِمَةَ مِنْ قُلُوبِهِمْ لِئَلَّا يُؤْمِنُوا فَيَخْلُصُوا.

those by the wayside are they that hear; then comes the devil and takes the word from their heart, lest they should believe and be saved.

١٣ 13 وَٱلَّذِينَ عَلَى ٱلصَّخْرِ هُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ مَتَى سَمِعُوا يَقْبَلُونَ ٱلْكَلِمَةَ بِفَرَحٍ، وَهَؤُلَاءِ لَيْسَ لَهُمْ أَصْلٌ، فَيُؤْمِنُونَ إِلَى حِينٍ، وَفِي وَقْتِ ٱلتَّجْرِبَةِ يَرْتَدُّونَ.

Those on the rock are they that, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who, for awhile, believe, and in time of temptation apostatize.

١٤ 14 وَٱلَّذِي سَقَطَ بَيْنَ ٱلشَّوْكِ هُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَسْمَعُونَ، ثُمَّ يَذْهَبُونَ فَيَخْتَنِقُونَ مِنْ هُمُومِ ٱلْحَيَاةِ وَغِنَاهَا وَلَذَّاتِهَا، وَلَا يُنْضِجُونَ ثَمَرًا.

That which fell among thorns are those who hear, and so conduct themselves, that they are choked by the cares and riches and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to perfection.

١٥ 15 وَٱلَّذِي فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلْجَيِّدَةِ، هُوَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَسْمَعُونَ ٱلْكَلِمَةَ فَيَحْفَظُونَهَا فِي قَلْبٍ جَيِّدٍ صَالِحٍ، وَيُثْمِرُونَ بِٱلصَّبْرِ.

But that on the good ground are those who, in a good and honest heart, hear the word, and keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.

١٦ 16 «وَلَيْسَ أَحَدٌ يُوقِدُ سِرَاجًا وَيُغَطِّيهِ بِإِنَاءٍ أَوْ يَضَعُهُ تَحْتَ سَرِيرٍ، بَلْ يَضَعُهُ عَلَى مَنَارَةٍ، لِيَنْظُرَ ٱلدَّاخِلُونَ ٱلنُّورَ.

No one when he has lighted a lamp, covers it with a vessel, or puts it under a divan, but sets it on a lamp-stand, that they who come in may see the light.

١٧ 17 لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ خَفِيٌّ لَا يُظْهَرُ، وَلَا مَكْتُومٌ لَا يُعْلَمُ وَيُعْلَنُ.

For there is nothing concealed, that shall not be made manifest, nor hid, that shall not be known and brought into view.

١٨ 18 فَٱنْظُرُوا كَيْفَ تَسْمَعُونَ، لِأَنَّ مَنْ لَهُ سَيُعْطَى، وَمَنْ لَيْسَ لَهُ فَٱلَّذِي يَظُنُّهُ لَهُ يُؤْخَذُ مِنْهُ».

Take heed, therefore, how you hear; for whoever has, to him shall be given; and whoever has not, even that which he seems to have shall be taken from him.

١٩ 19 وَجَاءَ إِلَيْهِ أُمُّهُ وَإِخْوَتُهُ، وَلَمْ يَقْدِرُوا أَنْ يَصِلُوا إِلَيْهِ لِسَبَبِ ٱلْجَمْعِ.

And his mother and his brothers came to him, but were not able to get near him on account of the multitude.

٢٠ 20 فَأَخْبَرُوهُ قَائِلِينَ: «أُمُّكَ وَإِخْوَتُكَ وَاقِفُونَ خَارِجًا، يُرِيدُونَ أَنْ يَرَوْكَ».

And it was told him by some that said: Thy mother and thy brothers stand without, desiring to see thee.

٢١ 21 فَأَجَابَ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «أُمِّي وَإِخْوَتِي هُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَسْمَعُونَ كَلِمَةَ ٱللهِ وَيَعْمَلُونَ بِهَا».

But he answered and said to them: My mother and my brothers are they that hear the word of God and do it.

٢٢ 22 وَفِي أَحَدِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ دَخَلَ سَفِينَةً هُوَ وَتَلَامِيذُهُ، فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «لِنَعْبُرْ إِلَى عَبْرِ ٱلْبُحَيْرَةِ». فَأَقْلَعُوا.

And it came to pass, on a certain day, that he entered a ship with his disciples; and he said to them: Let us go over to the other side of the lake. And they set sail.

٢٣ 23 وَفِيمَا هُمْ سَائِرُونَ نَامَ. فَنَزَلَ نَوْءُ رِيحٍ فِي ٱلْبُحَيْرَةِ، وَكَانُوا يَمْتَلِئُونَ مَاءً وَصَارُوا فِي خَطَرٍ.

And while they were sailing, he fell asleep. And a storm of wind came down upon the lake, and they began to be filled, and were in danger.

٢٤ 24 فَتَقَدَّمُوا وَأَيْقَظُوهُ قَائِلِينَ: «يَا مُعَلِّمُ، يَا مُعَلِّمُ، إِنَّنَا نَهْلِكُ!». فَقَامَ وَٱنْتَهَرَ ٱلرِّيحَ وَتَمَوُّجَ ٱلْمَاءِ، فَٱنْتَهَيَا وَصَارَ هُدُوُّ.

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

٢٥ 25 ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَيْنَ إِيمَانُكُمْ؟». فَخَافُوا وَتَعَجَّبُوا قَائِلِينَ فِيمَا بَيْنَهُمْ: «مَنْ هُوَ هَذَا؟ فَإِنَّهُ يَأْمُرُ ٱلرِّيَاحَ أَيْضًا وَٱلْمَاءَ فَتُطِيعُهُ!».

And he said to them: Where is your faith? And being afraid, they wondered, and said one to another: Who, then, is this, that he commands even the wind and the water, and they obey him?

٢٦ 26 وَسَارُوا إِلَى كُورَةِ ٱلْجَدَرِيِّينَ ٱلَّتِي هِيَ مُقَابِلَ ٱلْجَلِيلِ.

And they sailed to the country of the Gadarenes, which is opposite to Galilee.

٢٧ 27 وَلَمَّا خَرَجَ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱسْتَقْبَلَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ كَانَ فِيهِ شَيَاطِينُ مُنْذُ زَمَانٍ طَوِيلٍ، وَكَانَ لَا يَلْبَسُ ثَوْبًا، وَلَا يُقِيمُ فِي بَيْتٍ، بَلْ فِي ٱلْقُبُورِ.

And when he came out upon the land, there met him a certain man from the city, who had been possessed with demons for a long time, and who wore no clothes, and dwelt in no house, but in the tombs.

٢٨ 28 فَلَمَّا رَأَى يَسُوعَ صَرَخَ وَخَرَّ لَهُ، وَقَالَ بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ: «مَا لِي وَلَكَ يَا يَسُوعُ ٱبْنَ ٱللهِ ٱلْعَلِيِّ؟ أَطْلُبُ مِنْكَ أَنْ لَا تُعَذِّبَنِي!».

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

٢٩ 29 لِأَنَّهُ أَمَرَ ٱلرُّوحَ ٱلنَّجِسَ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ مِنَ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ. لِأَنَّهُ مُنْذُ زَمَانٍ كَثِيرٍ كَانَ يَخْطَفُهُ، وَقَدْ رُبِطَ بِسَلَاسِلٍ وَقُيُودٍ مَحْرُوسًا، وَكَانَ يَقْطَعُ ٱلرُّبُطَ وَيُسَاقُ مِنَ ٱلشَّيْطَانِ إِلَى ٱلْبَرَارِي.

For he had O; commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For it had often seized upon him, and he had been bound with chains and fetters, and kept in confinement; and he broke the bonds, and was driven by the demon into the deserts.

٣٠ 30 فَسَأَلَهُ يَسُوعُ قَائِلًا: «مَا ٱسْمُكَ؟». فَقَالَ: «لَجِئُونُ». لِأَنَّ شَيَاطِينَ كَثِيرَةً دَخَلَتْ فِيهِ.

And Jesus asked him, saying: What is your name? He answered, Legion; for many demons had entered into him.

٣١ 31 وَطَلَبَ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ لَا يَأْمُرَهُمْ بِٱلذَّهَابِ إِلَى ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ. (Abyssos g12)

And they be sought him, that he would not command them to go away into the abyss. (Abyssos g12)

٣٢ 32 وَكَانَ هُنَاكَ قَطِيعُ خَنَازِيرَ كَثِيرَةٍ تَرْعَى فِي ٱلْجَبَلِ، فَطَلَبُوا إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يَأْذَنَ لَهُمْ بِٱلدُّخُولِ فِيهَا، فَأَذِنَ لَهُمْ.

And there was in that place a herd of many swine feeding on the mountain. And they besought him to permit them to go into them. And he permitted them.

٣٣ 33 فَخَرَجَتِ ٱلشَّيَاطِينُ مِنَ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ وَدَخَلَتْ فِي ٱلْخَنَازِيرِ، فَٱنْدَفَعَ ٱلْقَطِيعُ مِنْ عَلَى ٱلْجُرُفِ إِلَى ٱلْبُحَيْرَةِ وَٱخْتَنَقَ.

And the demons came out of the man, and went into the swine; and the herd rushed down a steep place into the lake, and were drowned.

٣٤ 34 فَلَمَّا رَأَى ٱلرُّعَاةُ مَا كَانَ هَرَبُوا وَذَهَبُوا وَأَخْبَرُوا فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ وَفِي ٱلضِّيَاعِ،

And when those who fed them saw what was done, they fled, and told it in the city and in the country.

٣٥ 35 فَخَرَجُوا لِيَرَوْا مَا جَرَى. وَجَاءُوا إِلَى يَسُوعَ فَوَجَدُوا ٱلْإِنْسَانَ ٱلَّذِي كَانَتِ ٱلشَّيَاطِينُ قَدْ خَرَجَتْ مِنْهُ لَابِسًا وَعَاقِلًا، جَالِسًا عِنْدَ قَدَمَيْ يَسُوعَ، فَخَافُوا.

And they came out to see what had been done; and they came to Jesus, and saw the man out of whom the demons had gone, clothed, and in his right mind, sitting at the feet of Jesus; and they were afraid.

٣٦ 36 فَأَخْبَرَهُمْ أَيْضًا ٱلَّذِينَ رَأَوْا كَيْفَ خَلَصَ ٱلْمَجْنُونُ.

And those who had seen it, told them by what means the man who had been possessed with the demons, was saved.

٣٧ 37 فَطَلَبَ إِلَيْهِ كُلُّ جُمْهُورِ كُورَةِ ٱلْجَدَرِيِّينَ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ عَنْهُمْ، لِأَنَّهُ ٱعْتَرَاهُمْ خَوْفٌ عَظِيمٌ. فَدَخَلَ ٱلسَّفِينَةَ وَرَجَعَ.

And the whole multitude of the neighboring country of the Gadarenes besought him to depart from them; for they were seized with great fear. And he entered the ship and returned.

٣٨ 38 أَمَّا ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلَّذِي خَرَجَتْ مِنْهُ ٱلشَّيَاطِينُ فَطَلَبَ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يَكُونَ مَعَهُ، وَلَكِنَّ يَسُوعَ صَرَفَهُ قَائِلًا:

And the man out of whom the demons had gone, besought him that he might be with him. But Jesus sent him away, saying:

٣٩ 39 «ٱرْجِعْ إِلَى بَيْتِكَ وَحَدِّثْ بِكَمْ صَنَعَ ٱللهُ بِكَ». فَمَضَى وَهُوَ يُنَادِي فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ كُلِّهَا بِكَمْ صَنَعَ بِهِ يَسُوعُ.

Return to your house, and tell what things God has done for you. And he went away, proclaiming through the whole city what Jesus had done for him.

٤٠ 40 وَلَمَّا رَجَعَ يَسُوعُ قَبِلَهُ ٱلْجَمْعُ لِأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا جَمِيعُهُمْ يَنْتَظِرُونَهُ.

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

٤١ 41 وَإِذَا رَجُلٌ ٱسْمُهُ يَايِرُسُ قَدْ جَاءَ، وَكَانَ رَئِيسَ ٱلْمَجْمَعِ، فَوَقَعَ عِنْدَ قَدَمَيْ يَسُوعَ وَطَلَبَ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ بَيْتَهُ،

And, behold, there came a man, whose name was Jairus; and he was a ruler of the synagogue; and he fell down at the feet of Jesus, and besought him to come into his house;

٤٢ 42 لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ لَهُ بِنْتٌ وَحِيدَةٌ لَهَا نَحْوُ ٱثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً، وَكَانَتْ فِي حَالِ ٱلْمَوْتِ. فَفِيمَا هُوَ مُنْطَلِقٌ زَحَمَتْهُ ٱلْجُمُوعُ.

for he had a daughter, his only child, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. And as he went, the multitude pressed upon him.

٤٣ 43 وَٱمْرَأَةٌ بِنَزْفِ دَمٍ مُنْذُ ٱثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً، وَقَدْ أَنْفَقَتْ كُلَّ مَعِيشَتِهَا لِلْأَطِبَّاءِ، وَلَمْ تَقْدِرْ أَنْ تُشْفَى مِنْ أَحَدٍ،

And a woman that had been afflicted with an issue of blood for twelve years, who had spent her whole living upon physicians, and could be cured by no one,

٤٤ 44 جَاءَتْ مِنْ وَرَائِهِ وَلَمَسَتْ هُدْبَ ثَوْبِهِ. فَفِي ٱلْحَالِ وَقَفَ نَزْفُ دَمِهَا.

came behind, and touched the fringe of his mantle; and her issue of blood immediately ceased.

٤٥ 45 فَقَالَ يَسُوعُ: «مَنِ ٱلَّذِي لَمَسَنِي؟». وَإِذْ كَانَ ٱلْجَمِيعُ يُنْكِرُونَ، قَالَ بُطْرُسُ وَٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُ: «يَا مُعَلِّمُ، ٱلْجُمُوعُ يُضَيِّقُونَ عَلَيْكَ وَيَزْحَمُونَكَ، وَتَقُولُ: مَنِ ٱلَّذِي لَمَسَنِي؟».

And Jesus said: Who touched me? When they all denied, Peter and those with him said: Master, the multitudes press upon thee, and throng thee, and dost thou say, Who touched me?

٤٦ 46 فَقَالَ يَسُوعُ: «قَدْ لَمَسَنِي وَاحِدٌ، لِأَنِّي عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ قُوَّةً قَدْ خَرَجَتْ مِنِّي».

But Jesus said: Some one touched me; for I perceive that power has gone forth from me.

٤٧ 47 فَلَمَّا رَأَتِ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ أَنَّهَا لَمْ تَخْتَفِ، جَاءَتْ مُرْتَعِدَةً وَخَرَّتْ لَهُ، وَأَخْبَرَتْهُ قُدَّامَ جَمِيعِ ٱلشَّعْبِ لِأَيِّ سَبَبٍ لَمَسَتْهُ، وَكَيْفَ بَرِئَتْ فِي ٱلْحَالِ.

And the woman, seeing that she had not escaped notice, came trembling, and fell down before him, and told him, before all the people, for what cause she had touched him, and that she was immediately restored to health.

٤٨ 48 فَقَالَ لَهَا: «ثِقِي يَا ٱبْنَةُ، إِيمَانُكِ قَدْ شَفَاكِ، اِذْهَبِي بِسَلَامٍ».

And he said to her: Take courage, daughter; your faith has saved you; go in peace.

٤٩ 49 وَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ يَتَكَلَّمُ، جَاءَ وَاحِدٌ مِنْ دَارِ رَئِيسِ ٱلْمَجْمَعِ قَائِلًا لَهُ: «قَدْ مَاتَتِ ٱبْنَتُكَ. لَا تُتْعِبِ ٱلْمُعَلِّمَ».

While he was yet speaking, there came some one from the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and said to him: Your daughter is dead; trouble not the Teacher.

٥٠ 50 فَسَمِعَ يَسُوعُ، وَأَجَابَهُ قَائِلًا: «لَاتَخَفْ! آمِنْ فَقَطْ، فَهِيَ تُشْفَى».

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

٥١ 51 فَلَمَّا جَاءَ إِلَى ٱلْبَيْتِ لَمْ يَدَعْ أَحَدًا يَدْخُلُ إِلَّا بُطْرُسَ وَيَعْقُوبَ وَيُوحَنَّا، وَأَبَا ٱلصَّبِيَّةِ وَأُمَّهَا.

And when he came to the house, he permitted no one to go in but Peter and James and John, and the father and the mother of the child.

٥٢ 52 وَكَانَ ٱلْجَمِيعُ يَبْكُونَ عَلَيْهَا وَيَلْطِمُونَ. فَقَالَ: «لَا تَبْكُوا. لَمْ تَمُتْ لَكِنَّهَا نَائِمَةٌ».

And all were weeping and lamenting her. But he said: Weep not; she is not dead, but sleeps.

٥٣ 53 فَضَحِكُوا عَلَيْهِ، عَارِفِينَ أَنَّهَا مَاتَتْ.

And they derided him, knowing that she was dead.

٥٤ 54 فَأَخْرَجَ ٱلْجَمِيعَ خَارِجًا، وَأَمْسَكَ بِيَدِهَا وَنَادَى قَائِلًا: «يَا صَبِيَّةُ، قُومِي!».

But he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, and said: Child, arise.

٥٥ 55 فَرَجَعَتْ رُوحُهَا وَقَامَتْ فِي ٱلْحَالِ. فَأَمَرَ أَنْ تُعْطَى لِتَأْكُلَ.

And her spirit returned, and she arose immediately. And he commanded that food should be given her.

٥٦ 56 فَبُهِتَ وَالِدَاهَا. فَأَوْصَاهُمَا أَنْ لَا يَقُولَا لِأَحَدٍ عَمَّا كَانَ.

And her parents were amazed. But he charged them to tell no one what had been done.

Jesus Stills the Storm
