< مَرْقُس 7 >
| وَٱجْتَمَعَ إِلَيْهِ ٱلْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ وَقَوْمٌ مِنَ ٱلْكَتَبَةِ قَادِمِينَ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ. | ١ 1 |
[One day some] Pharisees and some men who teach the [Jewish] laws gathered around Jesus. They had come from Jerusalem [to investigate him].
| وَلَمَّا رَأَوْا بَعْضًا مِنْ تَلَامِيذِهِ يَأْكُلُونَ خُبْزًا بِأَيْدٍ دَنِسَةٍ، أَيْ غَيْرِ مَغْسُولَةٍ، لَامُوا. | ٢ 2 |
The Pharisees and all of the [other] Jews [strictly] observe the traditions that their ancestors [taught. For example, they refuse to] eat until they first wash their hands [with a special ritual], especially after they [return] from [buying things in] the marketplace. [They think that God will be angry with them if they do not do that, because some person or thing unacceptable to God might have touched] ([them/the things they bought]). There are many other such [traditions] that they accept and try to obey. Specifically, they wash [in a special way] their cups, pots, kettles, containers, and beds [in order that using these things will not make God reject them].
| لِأَنَّ ٱلْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ وَكُلَّ ٱلْيَهُودِ إِنْ لَمْ يَغْسِلُوا أَيْدِيَهُمْ بِٱعْتِنَاءٍ، لَا يَأْكُلُونَ، مُتَمَسِّكِينَ بِتَقْلِيدِ ٱلشُّيُوخِ. | ٣ 3 |
| وَمِنَ ٱلسُّوقِ إِنْ لَمْ يَغْتَسِلُوا لَا يَأْكُلُونَ. وَأَشْيَاءُ أُخْرَى كَثِيرَةٌ تَسَلَّمُوهَا لِلتَّمَسُّكِ بِهَا، مِنْ غَسْلِ كُؤُوسٍ وَأَبَارِيقَ وَآنِيَةِ نُحَاسٍ وَأَسِرَّةٍ. | ٤ 4 |
| ثُمَّ سَأَلَهُ ٱلْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ وَٱلْكَتَبَةُ: «لِمَاذَا لَا يَسْلُكُ تَلَامِيذُكَ حَسَبَ تَقْلِيدِ ٱلشُّيُوخِ، بَلْ يَأْكُلُونَ خُبْزًا بِأَيْدٍ غَيْرِ مَغْسُولَةٍ؟». | ٥ 5 |
That day, those Pharisees and men who taught the [Jewish] laws saw that some of his disciples were eating food with hands that they had not washed [using the special ritual]. So they questioned Jesus, saying, “[Your] disciples disobey the traditions of our ancestors! (You should not [let them] eat food if they have not washed their hands [using our special ritual]!/Why do you [let them] eat food if they have not washed their hands [using our special ritual]?) [RHQ]”
| فَأَجَابَ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «حَسَنًا تَنَبَّأَ إِشَعْيَاءُ عَنْكُمْ أَنْتُمُ ٱلْمُرَائِينَ! كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ: هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبُ يُكْرِمُنِي بِشَفَتَيْهِ، وَأَمَّا قَلْبُهُ فَمُبْتَعِدٌ عَنِّي بَعِيدًا، | ٦ 6 |
Jesus said to them, “Isaiah [rebuked your ancestors], and his words describe very well you people who only pretend to be good! He wrote these words [that God said]: These people speak [as if they] honor me, but they [SYN] really do not think about honoring me at all.
| وَبَاطِلًا يَعْبُدُونَنِي وَهُمْ يُعَلِّمُونَ تَعَالِيمَ هِيَ وَصَايَا ٱلنَّاسِ. | ٧ 7 |
It is useless for them to worship me, because they teach only what people have commanded [as if I myself had commanded them].
| لِأَنَّكُمْ تَرَكْتُمْ وَصِيَّةَ ٱللهِ وَتَتَمَسَّكُونَ بِتَقْلِيدِ ٱلنَّاسِ: غَسْلَ ٱلْأَبَارِيقِ وَٱلْكُؤُوسِ، وَأُمُورًا أُخَرَ كَثِيرَةً مِثْلَ هَذِهِ تَفْعَلُونَ». | ٨ 8 |
You, [like your ancestors], refuse [to do] what God has commanded. Instead, you follow only the traditions that (others/your ancestors) have [taught].”
| ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُمْ: «حَسَنًا! رَفَضْتُمْ وَصِيَّةَ ٱللهِ لِتَحْفَظُوا تَقْلِيدَكُمْ! | ٩ 9 |
Jesus also said to them, “[You think] [IRO] that you are clever in refusing to do what God commanded just so that you can obey your own traditions!
| لِأَنَّ مُوسَى قَالَ: أَكْرِمْ أَبَاكَ وَأُمَّكَ، وَمَنْ يَشْتُمُ أَبًا أَوْ أُمًّا فَلْيَمُتْ مَوْتًا. | ١٠ 10 |
[For example, our ancestor] Moses [wrote God’s] command, ‘Honor your fathers and your mothers’. He also wrote, ‘[The authorities must] execute a person who speaks evil about his father or mother.’
| وَأَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَتَقُولُونَ: إِنْ قَالَ إِنْسَانٌ لِأَبِيهِ أَوْ أُمِّهِ: قُرْبَانٌ، أَيْ هَدِيَّةٌ، هُوَ ٱلَّذِي تَنْتَفِعُ بِهِ مِنِّي | ١١ 11 |
But you [teach people that it is all right that people no longer must help their parents. You teach people that it is all right if people] give their things to God [instead of giving them to their parents]. You allow them to say to their parents, ‘What I was going to give to you [to provide for you, I have now promised to] give to God. So I [cannot any longer help you]!’ As a result, you are [actually telling people] that they no longer have to help their parents!
| فَلَا تَدَعُونَهُ فِي مَا بَعْدُ يَفْعَلُ شَيْئًا لِأَبِيهِ أَوْ أُمِّهِ. | ١٢ 12 |
| مُبْطِلِينَ كَلَامَ ٱللهِ بِتَقْلِيدِكُمُ ٱلَّذِي سَلَّمْتُمُوهُ. وَأُمُورًا كَثِيرَةً مِثْلَ هَذِهِ تَفْعَلُونَ». | ١٣ 13 |
And, by doing that, you disregard what God commanded! You teach your own traditions to others [and tell them strongly that they should obey them] And you do many other things like that.”
| ثُمَّ دَعَا كُلَّ ٱلْجَمْعِ وَقَالَ لَهُمُ: «ٱسْمَعُوا مِنِّي كُلُّكُمْ وَٱفْهَمُوا. | ١٤ 14 |
Then Jesus again summoned the crowd [to come closer. Then] he said to them [figuratively], “All of you people listen to me! [Try to] understand [DOU] [what I am about to tell you].
| لَيْسَ شَيْءٌ مِنْ خَارِجِ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ إِذَا دَخَلَ فِيهِ يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يُنَجِّسَهُ، لَكِنَّ ٱلْأَشْيَاءَ ٱلَّتِي تَخْرُجُ مِنْهُ هِيَ ٱلَّتِي تُنَجِّسُ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ. | ١٥ 15 |
Nothing that people eat causes [God to] consider them to be unacceptable. On the contrary, it is that which comes from people’s (inner beings/hearts) that causes God to reject them.”
| إِنْ كَانَ لِأَحَدٍ أُذْنَانِ لِلسَّمْعِ، فَلْيَسْمَعْ». | ١٦ 16 |
| وَلَمَّا دَخَلَ مِنْ عِنْدِ ٱلْجَمْعِ إِلَى ٱلْبَيْتِ، سَأَلَهُ تَلَامِيذُهُ عَنِ ٱلْمَثَلِ. | ١٧ 17 |
After Jesus had left the crowd and then entered a house with the disciples, they asked him about the parable [that he had just spoken].
| فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَفَأَنْتُمْ أَيْضًا هَكَذَا غَيْرُ فَاهِمِينَ؟ أَمَا تَفْهَمُونَ أَنَّ كُلَّ مَا يَدْخُلُ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ مِنْ خَارِجٍ لَا يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يُنَجِّسَهُ، | ١٨ 18 |
He replied, “([I am disappointed that] you also do not understand [what it means]!/Why can you not understand [what it means]?) [RHQ] (You ought to understand that nothing that [enters us from] outside can cause [God to] consider us unacceptable to him./Can you not understand that nothing that [enters us from] outside of us can cause [God to] consider us unacceptable to him?) [RHQ]
| لِأَنَّهُ لَا يَدْخُلُ إِلَى قَلْبِهِ بَلْ إِلَى ٱلْجَوْفِ، ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ إِلَى ٱلْخَلَاءِ، وَذَلِكَ يُطَهِّرُ كُلَّ ٱلْأَطْعِمَةِ». | ١٩ 19 |
Instead of entering [and ruining] our minds/souls, it goes into our stomachs, and afterwards the refuse passes out [of our bodies].” By saying this, Jesus was declaring that people [can eat] any food without causing [God] to reject them.
| ثُمَّ قَالَ: «إِنَّ ٱلَّذِي يَخْرُجُ مِنَ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ ذَلِكَ يُنَجِّسُ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ. | ٢٠ 20 |
He also said, “It is the [thoughts and actions] that come from within people that cause [God] to consider them unacceptable to him.
| لِأَنَّهُ مِنَ ٱلدَّاخِلِ، مِنْ قُلُوبِ ٱلنَّاسِ، تَخْرُجُ ٱلْأَفْكَارُ ٱلشِّرِّيرَةُ: زِنًى، فِسْقٌ، قَتْلٌ، | ٢١ 21 |
Specifically, it is people’s innermost being [that causes them to] think things that are evil; they act immorally, they steal [things], they commit murder.
| سِرْقَةٌ، طَمَعٌ، خُبْثٌ، مَكْرٌ، عَهَارَةٌ، عَيْنٌ شِرِّيرَةٌ، تَجْدِيفٌ، كِبْرِيَاءُ، جَهْلٌ. | ٢٢ 22 |
They [commit] adultery, they are greedy, they [act] maliciously, they deceive [people]. They [act] indecently, they envy [people], they speak evil about others, they are proud, and they [act] foolishly.
| جَمِيعُ هَذِهِ ٱلشُّرُورِ تَخْرُجُ مِنَ ٱلدَّاخِلِ وَتُنَجِّسُ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ». | ٢٣ 23 |
People think [these thoughts] and then they do these evil actions, and that is what causes [God to] consider them unacceptable to him.”
| ثُمَّ قَامَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ وَمَضَى إِلَى تُخُومِ صُورَ وَصَيْدَاءَ، وَدَخَلَ بَيْتًا وَهُوَ يُرِيدُ أَنْ لَا يَعْلَمَ أَحَدٌ، فَلَمْ يَقْدِرْ أَنْ يَخْتَفِيَ، | ٢٤ 24 |
After Jesus [and his disciples] left [Galilee district], they went to the region around Tyre. While he stayed at a certain house, he desired that no one know [it], but people soon found out [that he was there].
| لِأَنَّ ٱمْرَأَةً كَانَ بِٱبْنَتِهَا رُوحٌ نَجِسٌ سَمِعَتْ بِهِ، فَأَتَتْ وَخَرَّتْ عِنْدَ قَدَمَيْهِ. | ٢٥ 25 |
A certain woman, whose daughter had an evil spirit [within her], heard about Jesus. At once she came to him and prostrated herself at his feet.
| وَكَانَتْ ٱلٱمْرَأَةُ أُمَمِيَّةً، وَفِي جِنْسِهَا فِينِيقِيَّةً سُورِيَّةً. فَسَأَلَتْهُ أَنْ يُخْرِجَ ٱلشَّيْطَانَ مِنِ ٱبْنَتِهَا. | ٢٦ 26 |
This woman [was not a Jew. Her ancestors came] from Greece [country], but she was born in [the region around] Phoenicia [town] in Syria district. She pleaded with Jesus that he expel the evil spirit from her daughter.
| وَأَمَّا يَسُوعُ فَقَالَ لَهَا: «دَعِي ٱلْبَنِينَ أَوَّلًا يَشْبَعُونَ، لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ حَسَنًا أَنْ يُؤْخَذَ خُبْزُ ٱلْبَنِينَ وَيُطْرَحَ لِلْكِلَابِ». | ٢٧ 27 |
But he [wanted to see how strongly she believed in him. So, suggesting that he should help the Jews first and not the non-Jews whom some Jews called dogs] [MET], [he] spoke to her saying, “First let the children eat all they want, because it is not good for someone to take the food [the mother has prepared] for the children and then throw it to the [little] dogs.”
| فَأَجَابَتْ وَقَالَتْ لَهُ: «نَعَمْ، يَا سَيِّدُ! وَٱلْكِلَابُ أَيْضًا تَحْتَ ٱلْمَائِدَةِ تَأْكُلُ مِنْ فُتَاتِ ٱلْبَنِينَ!». | ٢٨ 28 |
But [to show that she believed that non-Jews could also receive help from God] [MET], she replied to him, “Sir, [what you say is] correct, but even the [little] dogs, which lie under the table, eat the crumbs that the children [drop].”
| فَقَالَ لَهَا: «لِأَجْلِ هَذِهِ ٱلْكَلِمَةِ، ٱذْهَبِي. قَدْ خَرَجَ ٱلشَّيْطَانُ مِنِ ٱبْنَتِكِ». | ٢٩ 29 |
[Jesus] said to her, “Because of what you have said, [you have shown me that you believe in what I can do for you]. So I will help you. Now you may go [home, because I have caused] the evil spirit to leave your daughter.”
| فَذَهَبَتْ إِلَى بَيْتِهَا وَوَجَدَتِ ٱلشَّيْطَانَ قَدْ خَرَجَ، وَٱلِٱبْنَةَ مَطْرُوحَةً عَلَى ٱلْفِرَاشِ. | ٣٠ 30 |
The woman returned to her house and saw that her child was lying [quietly] on the bed and that the evil spirit had left.
| ثُمَّ خَرَجَ أَيْضًا مِنْ تُخُومِ صُورَ وَصَيْدَاءَ، وَجَاءَ إِلَى بَحْرِ ٱلْجَلِيلِ فِي وَسْطِ حُدُودِ ٱلْمُدُنِ ٱلْعَشْرِ. | ٣١ 31 |
Jesus [and his disciples] left the region around Tyre [city] and went [north] through Sidon [city], then [toward the east] through the district of the Ten Towns, and then [south] to [the towns near] Lake Galilee.
| وَجَاءُوا إِلَيْهِ بِأَصَمَّ أَعْقَدَ، وَطَلَبُوا إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَيْهِ. | ٣٢ 32 |
[There], people brought to him a man who was deaf and who could hardly talk. They begged [Jesus] to lay his hands on him [in order to heal him].
| فَأَخَذَهُ مِنْ بَيْنِ ٱلْجَمْعِ عَلَى نَاحِيَةٍ، وَوَضَعَ أَصَابِعَهُ فِي أُذُنَيْهِ وَتَفَلَ وَلَمَسَ لِسَانَهُ، | ٣٣ 33 |
[So Jesus] took him away from the crowd [in order that the two of them could be] alone. Then he put [one of] his fingers into [each of] the man’s ears. After he spat [on his fingers], he touched the man’s tongue [with his fingers].
| وَرَفَعَ نَظَرَهُ نَحْوَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، وَأَنَّ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «إِفَّثَا». أَيِ ٱنْفَتِحْ. | ٣٤ 34 |
Then he looked up toward heaven, he sighed [because he was concerned for the man], and then [in his own language] he said to the man’s [ears], “Ephphatha”, which means, “Be opened {Open up}!”.
| وَلِلْوَقْتِ ٱنْفَتَحَتْ أُذْنَاهُ، وَٱنْحَلَّ رِبَاطُ لِسَانِهِ، وَتَكَلَّمَ مُسْتَقِيمًا. | ٣٥ 35 |
At once the man could hear plainly [MTY]. He also began to speak clearly because [what was causing him to be unable to speak] was healed {Jesus healed [what was causing him to be unable to speak]}.
| فَأَوْصَاهُمْ أَنْ لَا يَقُولُوا لِأَحَدٍ. وَلَكِنْ عَلَى قَدْرِ مَا أَوْصَاهُمْ كَانُوا يُنَادُونَ أَكْثَرَ كَثِيرًا. | ٣٦ 36 |
Jesus told ([the people/his friends]) not to tell anyone [what he had done]. But, although he ordered them [and others] repeatedly [not to tell anyone about it], they kept talking about it very much.
| وَبُهِتُوا إِلَى ٱلْغَايَةِ قَائِلِينَ: «إِنَّهُ عَمِلَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ حَسَنًا! جَعَلَ ٱلصُّمَّ يَسْمَعُونَ وَٱلْخُرْسَ يَتَكَلَّمُونَ». | ٣٧ 37 |
[People who heard about it] were utterly amazed and were saying [enthusiastically], “Everything he has done is wonderful! [Besides doing other amazing things], he enables deaf people to hear! And he enables those who cannot speak to speak!”
