مَتَّى 3
| وَفِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ جَاءَ يُوحَنَّا ٱلْمَعْمَدَانُ يَكْرِزُ فِي بَرِّيَّةِ ٱلْيَهُودِيَّةِ | ١ 1 |
In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea,
| قَائِلًا: «تُوبُوا، لِأَنَّهُ قَدِ ٱقْتَرَبَ مَلَكُوتُ ٱلسَّماوَاتِ. | ٢ 2 |
And saying, Repent all of you: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
| فَإِنَّ هَذَا هُوَ ٱلَّذِي قِيلَ عَنْهُ بِإِشَعْيَاءَ ٱلنَّبِيِّ ٱلْقَائِلِ: صَوْتُ صَارِخٍ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ: أَعِدُّوا طَرِيقَ ٱلرَّبِّ. ٱصْنَعُوا سُبُلَهُ مُسْتَقِيمَةً». | ٣ 3 |
For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare all of you the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
| وَيُوحَنَّا هَذَا كَانَ لِبَاسُهُ مِنْ وَبَرِ ٱلْإِبِلِ، وَعَلَى حَقْوَيْهِ مِنْطَقَةٌ مِنْ جِلْدٍ. وَكَانَ طَعَامُهُ جَرَادًا وَعَسَلًا بَرِّيًّا. | ٤ 4 |
And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his food was locusts and wild honey.
| حِينَئِذٍ خَرَجَ إِلَيْهِ أُورُشَلِيمُ وَكُلُّ ٱلْيَهُودِيَّةِ وَجَمِيعُ ٱلْكُورَةِ ٱلْمُحِيطَةِ بِٱلْأُرْدُنِّ، | ٥ 5 |
Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about Jordan,
| وَٱعْتَمَدُوا مِنْهُ فِي ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ، مُعْتَرِفِينَ بِخَطَايَاهُمْ. | ٦ 6 |
And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins.
| فَلَمَّا رَأَى كَثِيرِينَ مِنَ ٱلْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ وَٱلصَّدُّوقِيِّينَ يَأْتُونَ إِلَى مَعْمُودِيَّتِهِ، قَالَ لَهُمْ: «يَاأَوْلَادَ ٱلْأَفَاعِي، مَنْ أَرَاكُمْ أَنْ تَهْرُبُوا مِنَ ٱلْغَضَبِ ٱلْآتِي؟ | ٧ 7 |
But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who has warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
| فَٱصْنَعُوا أَثْمَارًا تَلِيقُ بِٱلتَّوْبَةِ. | ٨ 8 |
Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:
| وَلَا تَفْتَكِرُوا أَنْ تَقُولُوا فِي أَنْفُسِكُمْ: لَنَا إِبْراهِيمُ أَبًا. لِأَنِّي أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ ٱللهَ قَادِرٌ أَنْ يُقِيمَ مِنْ هَذِهِ ٱلْحِجَارَةِ أَوْلَادًا لِإِبْراهِيمَ. | ٩ 9 |
And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
| وَٱلْآنَ قَدْ وُضِعَتِ ٱلْفَأْسُ عَلَى أَصْلِ ٱلشَّجَرِ، فَكُلُّ شَجَرَةٍ لَا تَصْنَعُ ثَمَرًا جَيِّدًا تُقْطَعُ وَتُلْقَى فِي ٱلنَّارِ. | ١٠ 10 |
And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which brings not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
| أَنَا أُعَمِّدُكُمْ بِمَاءٍ لِلتَّوْبَةِ، وَلَكِنِ ٱلَّذِي يَأْتِي بَعْدِي هُوَ أَقْوَى مِنِّي، ٱلَّذِي لَسْتُ أَهْلًا أَنْ أَحْمِلَ حِذَاءَهُ. هُوَ سَيُعَمِّدُكُمْ بِٱلرُّوحِ ٱلْقُدُسِ وَنَارٍ. | ١١ 11 |
I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance. but he that comes after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit, (pneuma) and with fire:
| ٱلَّذِي رَفْشُهُ فِي يَدِهِ، وَسَيُنَقِّي بَيْدَرَهُ، وَيَجْمَعُ قَمْحَهُ إِلَى ٱلْمَخْزَنِ، وَأَمَّا ٱلتِّبْنُ فَيُحْرِقُهُ بِنَارٍ لَا تُطْفَأُ». | ١٢ 12 |
Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.
| حِينَئِذٍ جَاءَ يَسُوعُ مِنَ ٱلْجَلِيلِ إِلَى ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ إِلَى يُوحَنَّا لِيَعْتَمِدَ مِنْهُ. | ١٣ 13 |
Then comes Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.
| وَلَكِنْ يُوحَنَّا مَنَعَهُ قَائِلًا: «أَنَا مُحْتَاجٌ أَنْ أَعْتَمِدَ مِنْكَ، وَأَنْتَ تَأْتِي إِلَيَّ!». | ١٤ 14 |
But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of you, and come you to me?
| فَأَجَابَ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «ٱسْمَحِ ٱلْآنَ، لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا يَلِيقُ بِنَا أَنْ نُكَمِّلَ كُلَّ بِرٍّ». حِينَئِذٍ سَمَحَ لَهُ. | ١٥ 15 |
And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becomes us to fulfill all righteousness. Then he suffered him.
| فَلَمَّا ٱعْتَمَدَ يَسُوعُ صَعِدَ لِلْوَقْتِ مِنَ ٱلْمَاءِ، وَإِذَا ٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ قَدِ ٱنْفَتَحَتْ لَهُ، فَرَأَى رُوحَ ٱللهِ نَازِلًا مِثْلَ حَمَامَةٍ وَآتِيًا عَلَيْهِ، | ١٦ 16 |
And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up immediately out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit (pneuma) of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:
| وَصَوْتٌ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ قَائِلًا: «هَذَا هُوَ ٱبْنِي ٱلْحَبِيبُ ٱلَّذِي بِهِ سُرِرْتُ». | ١٧ 17 |
And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
