لُوقا 8

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

Soon afterward Jesus was going through every city and village, preaching and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. 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،

as well as some women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary (called Magdalene) from whom seven demons had gone out,

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

Joanna the wife of Chuza (Herod's steward), Susanna, and many others. These women provided for Jesus and his disciples out of their own resources.

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

As a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, he said in a parable:

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

“A sower went out to sow his seed. As he sowed, some seed fell along the path and was trampled underfoot, and the birds of the sky devoured it.

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

Other seed fell on rock, and as it grew up, it withered away because it had no moisture.

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

Other seed fell among the 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!».

But other seed fell into good soil, and when it grew, it produced a hundred times more than what was sown.” As he said this, he called out, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

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

Then his disciples asked him, “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 said, “To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest I speak in parables, so that ‘they may see but not perceive, and hear but not understand.’

١١ 11 وَهَذَا هُوَ ٱلْمَثَلُ: ٱلزَّرْعُ هُوَ كَلَامُ ٱللهِ،

“Now this is the meaning of the parable: 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.

The ones along the path are those who hear; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their heart, so that they may not 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.

The ones on the rock are those who, when they hear the word, receive it with joy. Yet they have no root; they believe for a while, but in a time of testing they fall away.

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

The seed that fell among the thorns are those who have heard, but as they go on their way they are choked by the cares, riches, and pleasures of this life, and their fruit does not mature.

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

But the seed in the good soil are those who hear the word, hold fast to it with an honest and good heart, and bear fruit with patient endurance.

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

“No one lights a lamp and covers it with a container or puts it under a bed. Instead, it is put on a lampstand, so that those who come in can see its light.

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

For nothing is hidden that will not be made manifest, nor is anything hidden away that will not be made known and come to light.

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

Therefore consider how you hear, for whoever has will be given more, but whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken away from him.”

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

Then Jesus' mother and brothers came to him, but they were not able to reach him because of the crowd.

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

So some people told him, “Yoʋr mother and yoʋr brothers are standing outside, wanting to see yoʋ.”

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

But he answered them, “My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”

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

One day Jesus got into a boat with his disciples and said to them, “Let us cross over to the other side of the lake.” So they set out,

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

and as they were sailing along, he fell asleep. Then a windstorm came down on the lake, and they were in danger as the boat was being swamped by the waves.

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

So they came to Jesus and woke him up, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!” Then he rose and rebuked the wind and the raging water. They ceased, and all was calm.

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

Then he said to his disciples, “Where is your faith?” But they were afraid and amazed, saying to one another, “Who then is this, that he commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him?”

٢٦ 26 وَسَارُوا إِلَى كُورَةِ ٱلْجَدَرِيِّينَ ٱلَّتِي هِيَ مُقَابِلَ ٱلْجَلِيلِ.

Then they sailed to the region of the Gadarenes, which is across the lake from 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.

When Jesus stepped ashore, he was met by a man from the city who had been possessed by demons for a long time. This man did not wear clothes or live in a house but among 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, fell down before him, and said with a loud voice, “What do yoʋ have to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg yoʋ, do not torment me.”

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 Jesus had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and he would be bound with chains and shackles and kept under guard, but he would break the chains and be driven by the demon into desolate places.

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

Jesus then asked him, “What is yoʋr name?” He said, “Legion,” for many demons had entered him.

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

And he begged Jesus not to 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.

Now there was a herd of many pigs feeding there on the mountain. The demons begged Jesus to permit them to enter the pigs. So he gave them permission.

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

Then the demons came out of the man and went into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and were drowned.

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

When those who had been feeding the pigs saw what happened, they ran off and reported it in the city and in the countryside.

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

So the people came out to see what had happened. When they came to Jesus, they found the man from whom the demons had gone out sitting at Jesus' feet, clothed and in his right mind, and they were afraid.

٣٦ 36 فَأَخْبَرَهُمْ أَيْضًا ٱلَّذِينَ رَأَوْا كَيْفَ خَلَصَ ٱلْمَجْنُونُ.

Those who had seen it told them how the demon-possessed man had been delivered.

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

Then the entire multitude from the surrounding region of the Gadarenes asked Jesus to depart from them, for they were seized with great fear. So he got into the boat and left.

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

Now the man from whom the demons had gone out begged to go 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 yoʋr house, and declare all that God has done for yoʋ.” So the man went away, proclaiming throughout the entire city all that Jesus had done for him.

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

Now when Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed him, for they had all been 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 named Jairus, who was a ruler of the synagogue. He fell down at Jesus' feet and begged him to come to his house,

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

because he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. As Jesus went on his way, the crowds were pressing in on him.

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

Now there was a woman who had suffered from a flow of blood for twelve years, and even though she had spent her entire livelihood on physicians, she could not be healed by anyone.

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

She came up behind Jesus and touched the fringe of his garment, and the flow of her blood stopped at once.

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؟».

Then Jesus said, “Who touched me?” When everyone denied it, Peter and those who were with him said, “Master, the crowds are surrounding yoʋ and pressing against yoʋ, and yet yoʋ say, ‘Who touched me?’”

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

But Jesus said, “Someone touched me, for I know that power has gone out 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.

When the woman saw that she could not escape notice, she came trembling and fell down before him, and in the presence of all the people she told him the reason why she had touched him, and how she had been healed at once.

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

Then Jesus said to her, “Take courage, daughter; yoʋr faith has healed yoʋ. 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 still speaking, someone came from the ruler of the synagogue's house and said to him, “Yoʋr daughter has died; do not trouble the teacher.”

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

But when Jesus heard this, he said to him in response, “Do not be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.”

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

When he came to the house, Jesus allowed no one to go in, except Peter, John, James, and the child's father and mother.

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

Meanwhile, all the people were weeping and mourning for her, but Jesus said, “Do not weep; she is not dead but sleeping.”

٥٣ 53 فَضَحِكُوا عَلَيْهِ، عَارِفِينَ أَنَّهَا مَاتَتْ.

And they began laughing at him, knowing that she was dead.

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

But Jesus put them all outside, took hold of the girl's hand, and called out, “Child, arise!”

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

Her spirit returned, and she got up at once. Then he told them to give her something to eat.

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

Her parents were amazed, but he ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened.
