وَفِي السَّنَةِ الْخَامِسَةِ عَشْرَةَ مِنْ مُلْكِ الْقَيْصَرِ طِيبَارِيُوسَ؛ حِينَ كَانَ بِيلاطُسُ الْبُنْطِيُّ حَاكِماً عَلَى مِنْطَقَةِ الْيَهُودِيَّةِ، وَهِيرُودُسُ حَاكِمَ رُبْعٍ عَلَى الْجَلِيلِ وَأَخُوهُ فِيلِبُّسُ حَاكِمَ رُبْعٍ عَلَى إِيطُورِيَّةَ وَإِقْلِيمِ تَرَاخُونِيتِسَ، وَلِيسَانِيُوسُ حَاكِمَ رُبْعٍ عَلَى الأَبِلِيَّةِ؛ | ١ 1 |
Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, while his brother Philip was tetrarch of the region of Iturea and Trachonitis and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,
فِي زَمَانِ رَئَاسَةِ حَنَّانَ وَقَيَافَا لِلْكَهَنَةِ؛ كَانَتْ كَلِمَةُ اللهِ عَلَى يُوحَنَّا بْنِ زَكَرِيَّا وَهُوَ فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ. | ٢ 2 |
during the high priesthood of Annas (also Caiaphas), the word of God came upon John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
فَانْطَلَقَ إِلَى جَمِيعِ النَّوَاحِي الْمُحِيطَةِ بِنَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ يُنَادِي بِمَعْمُودِيَّةِ التَّوْبَةِ لِمَغْفِرَةِ الْخَطَايَا، | ٣ 3 |
So he went into all the region around the Jordan, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for forgiveness of sins;
كَمَا كُتِبَ فِي كِتَابِ أَقْوَالِ النَّبِيِّ إِشَعْيَاءَ: «صَوْتُ مُنَادٍ فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ: أَعِدُّوا طَرِيقَ الرَّبِّ وَاجْعَلُوا سُبُلَهُ مُسْتَقِيمَةً. | ٤ 4 |
as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying: “A voice calling out: ‘Prepare the way of the Lord in the wilderness, make His paths straight.
كُلُّ وَادٍ سَيُرْدَمُ، وَكُلُّ جَبَلٍ وَتَلٍّ سَيُخْفَضُ، وَتَصِيرُ الأَمَاكِنُ الْمُلْتَوِيَةُ مُسْتَقِيمَةً وَالأَمَاكِنُ الْوَعْرَةُ طُرُقاً مُسْتَوِيَةً، | ٥ 5 |
Every ravine will be filled up, and every mountain and hill will be leveled; the crooked parts of the roads will be straightened out, and the rough parts will be smoothed out;
فَيُبْصِرُ كُلُّ بَشَرٍ الْخَلاصَ الإِلهِيَّ!» | ٦ 6 |
and all flesh will see the salvation of God.’”
فَقَدْ كَانَ يَقُولُ لِلْجُمُوعِ الَّذِينَ خَرَجُوا إِلَيْهِ لِيَتَعَمَّدُوا عَلَى يَدِهِ: «يَا أَوْلادَ الأَفَاعِي، مَنْ أَنْذَرَكُمْ لِتَهْرُبُوا مِنَ الْغَضَبِ الآتِي؟ | ٧ 7 |
Then he said to the crowds that were coming out to be baptized by him: “You sons of poisonous snakes! Who tipped you off to flee from the coming wrath?
فَأَثْمِرُوا أَثْمَاراً تَلِيقُ بِالتَّوْبَةِ، وَلا تَبْتَدِئُوا تَقُولُونَ فِي أَنْفُسِكُمْ: لَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ أَباً! فَإِنِّي أَقُولُ لَكُمْ إِنَّ اللهَ قَادِرٌ أَنْ يُطْلِعَ مِنْ هذِهِ الْحِجَارَةِ أَوْلاداً لإِبْرَاهِيمَ. | ٨ 8 |
Well then, produce fruits befitting repentance, and don't even begin to say among yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as father,’ because I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones!
وَهَا إِنَّ الْفَأْسَ أَيْضاً قَدْ وُضِعَتْ عَلَى أَصْلِ الشَّجَرِ: فَكُلُّ شَجَرَةٍ لَا تُثْمِرُ ثَمَراً جَيِّداً تُقْطَعُ وَتُطْرَحُ فِي النَّارِ». | ٩ 9 |
But even now the axe is being laid to the root of the trees; so then, every tree not producing good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.”
وَسَأَلَتْهُ الْجُمُوعُ: «فَمَاذَا نَفْعَلُ إِذَنْ؟» | ١٠ 10 |
So the people started asking him, “What then must we do?”
فَأَجَابَهُمْ: «مَنْ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ ثَوْبَانِ، فَلْيُعْطِ مَنْ لَيْسَ عِنْدَهُ؛ وَمَنْ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ طَعَامٌ، فَلْيَعْمَلْ كَذلِكَ أَيْضاً». | ١١ 11 |
In answer he said to them, “He who has two coats, let him share with him who has none; and he who has food should do likewise.”
وَجَاءَ أَيْضاً جُبَاةُ ضَرَائِبَ لِيَتَعَمَّدُوا، فَسَأَلُوهُ: «يَا مُعَلِّمُ، مَاذَا نَفْعَلُ؟» | ١٢ 12 |
Well even tax collectors came to be baptized by him and said to him, “Teacher, what must we do?”
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «لا تَجْبُوا أَكْثَرَ مِمَّا فُرِضَ لَكُمْ». | ١٣ 13 |
So He said to them, “Don't charge more than what was determined to you.”
وَسَأَلَهُ أَيْضاً بَعْضُ الْجُنُودِ: «وَنَحْنُ، مَاذَا نَفْعَلُ؟» فَأَجَابَهُمْ: «لا تَظْلِمُوا أَحَداً وَلا تَشْتَكُوا كَذِباً عَلَى أَحَدٍ، وَاقْنَعُوا بِمُرَتَّبَاتِكُمْ!» | ١٤ 14 |
So the soldiers started asking him too: “What about us? What must we do?” He said to them, “Don't extort or harass anyone, and be content with your wages.”
وَإِذْ كَانَ الشَّعْبُ مُنْتَظِرِينَ (الْمَسِيحَ)، وَالْجَمِيعُ يُسَائِلُونَ أَنْفُسَهُمْ عَنْ يُوحَنَّا: «هَلْ هُوَ الْمَسِيحُ؟» | ١٥ 15 |
Now as the people were expectant and all were reasoning in their hearts concerning John, whether he just might be the Messiah,
أَجَابَ يُوحَنَّا الْجَمِيعَ قَائِلاً: «أَنَا أُعَمِّدُكُمْ بِالْمَاءِ، وَلكِنْ سَيَأْتِي مَنْ هُوَ أَقْدَرُ مِنِّي، مَنْ لَا أَسْتَحِقُّ أَنْ أَحُلَّ رِبَاطَ حِذَائِهِ: هُوَ سَيُعَمِّدُكُمْ بِالرُّوحِ الْقُدُسِ، وَبِالنَّارِ. | ١٦ 16 |
John anticipated them all saying: “I indeed am baptizing you with water, but One mightier than I is coming, whose sandal straps I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with Holy Spirit and fire;
فَهُوَ يَحْمِلُ الْمِذْرَى بِيَدِهِ لِيُنَقِّيَ مَا حَصَدَهُ تَمَاماً، فَيَجْمَعُ الْقَمْحَ إِلَى مَخْزَنِهِ، وَأَمَّا التِّبْنُ فَيُحْرِقُهُ بِنَارٍ لَا تُطْفَأُ». | ١٧ 17 |
whose winnowing shovel is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor and gather the wheat into His barn, but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
وَكَانَ يُبَشِّرُ الشَّعْبَ وَيَعِظُهُمْ بِأَشْيَاءَ أُخْرَى كَثِيرَةٍ. | ١٨ 18 |
(Indeed, with many other exhortations as well he kept on preaching to the people;
وَلكِنَّ هِيرُودُسَ حَاكِمَ الرُّبْعِ، إِذْ كَانَ يُوحَنَّا قَدْ وَبَّخَهُ بِسَبَبِ هِيرُودِيَّا زَوْجَةِ أَخِيهِ وَبِسَبَبِ جَمِيعِ مَا ارْتَكَبَهُ مِنَ الشُّرُورِ، | ١٩ 19 |
but Herod the tetrarch—being reproved by him concerning Herodias, his brother's wife, as also about all the wicked things that Herod perpetrated—
أَضَافَ إِلَى شُرُورِهِ السَّابِقَةِ هَذَا الشَّرَّ: أَنَّهُ حَبَسَ يُوحَنَّا فِي السِّجْنِ. | ٢٠ 20 |
added this also to them all: he actually locked John up in his prison.)
وَلَمَّا تَعَمَّدَ الشَّعْبُ جَمِيعاً، تَعَمَّدَ يَسُوعُ، وَإِذْ كَانَ يُصَلِّي، انْفَتَحَتِ السَّمَاءُ، | ٢١ 21 |
Now when all the people were baptized, Jesus, having been baptized also, was praying, when the heaven was opened
وَهَبَطَ عَلَيْهِ الرُّوحُ الْقُدُسُ مُتَّخِذاً هَيْئَةً جِسْمِيَّةً مِثْلَ حَمَامَةٍ، وَانْطَلَقَ صَوْتٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ يَقُولُ: «أَنْتَ ابْنِي الْحَبِيبُ بِكَ سُرِرْتُ كُلَّ سُرُورٍ!» | ٢٢ 22 |
and the Holy Spirit descended in bodily form like a dove and rested upon Him, and a Voice came out of heaven saying, “You are my beloved Son; in you I am always well pleased.”
وَلَمَّا بَدَأَ يَسُوعُ (خِدْمَتَهُ)، كَانَ فِي الثَّلاثِينَ مِنَ الْعُمْرِ تَقْرِيباً، وكَانَ مَعْرُوفاً أَنَّهُ ابْنُ يُوسُفَ بْنِ هَالِي، | ٢٣ 23 |
(Beginning His ministry at about thirty years of age, being (so it was supposed) a son of Joseph, Jesus Himself was of Eli,
