ܡܪܩܘܣ 10

1 ܘܩܡ ܡܢ ܬܡܢ ܘܐܬܐ ܠܬܚܘܡܐ ܕܝܗܘܕ ܠܥܒܪܐ ܕܝܘܪܕܢܢ ܘܐܙܠܘ ܠܬܡܢ ܠܘܬܗ ܟܢܫܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܘܡܠܦ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܬܘܒ ܐܝܟ ܕܡܥܕ ܗܘܐ

Jesus then rose from there and went to the region of Judea, traveling through the region beyond the Jordan, and crowds gathered around him again. And again he taught them, as he was accustomed to do.

2 ܘܩܪܒܘ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܡܢܤܝܢ ܠܗ ܘܡܫܐܠܝܢ ܕܐܢ ܫܠܝܛ ܠܓܒܪܐ ܕܢܫܒܘܩ ܐܢܬܬܗ

Then some Pharisees came up to Jesus and tested him by asking, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?”

3 ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܢܐ ܦܩܕܟܘܢ ܡܘܫܐ

He answered them, “What did Moses command you?”

4 ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܡܘܫܐ ܐܦܤ ܠܢ ܕܢܟܬܘܒ ܟܬܒܐ ܕܫܘܒܩܢܐ ܘܢܫܪܐ

They said, “Moses allowed a man to write a certificate of divorce and send her away.”

5 ܥܢܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܘܩܒܠ ܩܫܝܘܬ ܠܒܟܘܢ ܟܬܒ ܠܟܘܢ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܗܢܐ

But Jesus answered them, “Because of your hardness of heart he wrote you this commandment.

6 ܡܢ ܒܪܫܝܬ ܕܝܢ ܕܟܪܐ ܘܢܩܒܬܐ ܥܒܕ ܐܢܘܢ ܐܠܗܐ

But from the beginning of creation, God ‘made them male and female.’

7 ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܢܫܒܘܩ ܓܒܪܐ ܠܐܒܘܗܝ ܘܠܐܡܗ ܘܢܩܦ ܠܐܢܬܬܗ

‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife,

8 ܘܢܗܘܘܢ ܬܪܝܗܘܢ ܚܕ ܒܤܪ ܡܟܝܠ ܠܐ ܗܘܘ ܬܪܝܢ ܐܠܐ ܚܕ ܒܤܪ

and the two will become one flesh.’ So then, they are no longer two, but one flesh.

9 ܡܕܡ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܙܘܓ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܠܐ ܢܦܪܫ

Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”

10 ܘܫܐܠܘܗܝ ܬܘܒ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܒܒܝܬܐ ܥܠ ܗܕܐ

When they were back in the house, Jesus' disciples asked him about the same subject.

11 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܟܠ ܡܢ ܕܢܫܪܐ ܐܢܬܬܗ ܘܢܤܒ ܐܚܪܬܐ ܓܐܪ

So he said to them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her.

12 ܘܐܢ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܬܫܪܐ ܒܥܠܗ ܘܬܗܘܐ ܠܐܚܪܢܐ ܓܝܪܐ

And if a woman divorces her husband and gets married to another, she commits adultery.”

13 ܘܡܩܪܒܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܛܠܝܐ ܕܢܩܪܘܒ ܠܗܘܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܕܝܢ ܟܐܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܗܠܝܢ ܕܡܩܪܒܝܢ ܠܗܘܢ

Now people were bringing children to Jesus so that he might touch them, but the disciples rebuked those who were bringing them.

14 ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܚܙܐ ܘܐܬܒܐܫ ܠܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܫܒܘܩܘ ܛܠܝܐ ܐܬܝܢ ܠܘܬܝ ܘܠܐ ܬܟܠܘܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܕܐܝܠܝܢ ܓܝܪ ܕܐܝܟ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܐܝܬܝܗ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ

When Jesus saw this, he was indignant and said to them, “Let the little children come to me; do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

15 ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܟܠ ܕܠܐ ܢܩܒܠ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܝܟ ܛܠܝܐ ܠܐ ܢܥܘܠ ܠܗ

Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will certainly not enter it.”

16 ܘܫܩܠ ܐܢܘܢ ܥܠ ܕܪܥܘܗܝ ܘܤܡ ܐܝܕܗ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܘܒܪܟ ܐܢܘܢ

And taking the children in his arms, he laid his hands on them and blessed them.

17 ܘܟܕ ܪܕܐ ܒܐܘܪܚܐ ܪܗܛ ܚܕ ܢܦܠ ܥܠ ܒܘܪܟܘܗܝ ܘܡܫܐܠ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܠܦܢܐ ܛܒܐ ܡܢܐ ܐܥܒܕ ܕܐܬܪ ܚܝܐ ܕܠܥܠܡ (aiōnios g166)

As he was setting out on the road, a man ran up, knelt before him, and asked him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)

18 ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܢܐ ܩܪܐ ܐܢܬ ܠܝ ܛܒܐ ܠܝܬ ܛܒܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܚܕ ܐܠܗܐ

Jesus said to him, “Why do yoʋ call me good? No one is good except God alone.

19 ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܬ ܠܐ ܬܓܘܪ ܠܐ ܬܓܢܘܒ ܠܐ ܬܩܛܘܠ ܘܠܐ ܬܤܗܕ ܤܗܕܘܬܐ ܕܓܠܬܐ ܠܐ ܬܛܠܘܡ ܝܩܪ ܠܐܒܘܟ ܘܠܐܡܟ

Yoʋ know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery, Do not murder, Do not steal, Do not give false testimony, Do not defraud, Honor yoʋr father and mother.’”

20 ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܥܢܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܠܦܢܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܢܛܪܬ ܐܢܝܢ ܡܢ ܛܠܝܘܬܝ

The man answered him, “Teacher, I have kept all these commandments from the time I was a young boy.”

21 ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܚܪ ܒܗ ܘܐܚܒܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܚܕܐ ܚܤܝܪܐ ܠܟ ܙܠ ܙܒܢ ܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܟ ܘܗܒ ܠܡܤܟܢܐ ܘܬܗܘܐ ܠܟ ܤܝܡܬܐ ܒܫܡܝܐ ܘܤܒ ܨܠܝܒܐ ܘܬܐ ܒܬܪܝ

As Jesus looked at him, he felt love for the man and said to him, “One thing yoʋ lack: Go and sell all that yoʋ have and give to the poor, and yoʋ will have treasure in heaven. Then take up yoʋr cross and come follow me.”

22 ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܬܟܡܪ ܒܡܠܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܘܐܙܠ ܟܕ ܥܝܝܩܐ ܠܗ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܓܝܪ ܢܟܤܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ

But the man was dejected by what Jesus said and went away sorrowful, for he had many possessions.

23 ܚܪ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܟܡܐ ܥܛܠܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܢܟܤܐ ܕܢܥܠܘܢ ܠܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ

Then Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How difficult it will be for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God!”

24 ܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܬܕܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܠ ܡܠܘܗܝ ܘܥܢܐ ܬܘܒ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܒܢܝ ܟܡܐ ܥܛܠܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܬܟܝܠܝܢ ܥܠ ܢܟܤܝܗܘܢ ܕܢܥܠܘܢ ܠܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ

The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus said to them again, “Children, how difficult it is for those who trust in riches to enter the kingdom of God!

25 ܦܫܝܩ ܗܘ ܠܓܡܠܐ ܕܢܥܘܠ ܒܚܪܘܪܐ ܕܡܚܛܐ ܐܘ ܥܬܝܪܐ ܠܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܠܡܥܠ

It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.”

26 ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܡܬܕܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܒܝܢܝܗܘܢ ܡܢܘ ܡܫܟܚ ܠܡܚܐ

They were completely astonished at this and said to one another, “Who then can be saved?”

27 ܚܪ ܕܝܢ ܒܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܘܬ ܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܗܕܐ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚܐ ܐܠܐ ܠܘܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܓܝܪ ܡܫܟܚܐ ܠܘܬ ܐܠܗܐ

Jesus looked at them and said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God. For all things are possible with God.”

28 ܘܫܪܝ ܟܐܦܐ ܠܡܐܡܪ ܗܐ ܚܢܢ ܫܒܩܢ ܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܘܢܩܦܢܟ

Peter began to say to him, “Behold, we have left everything and followed yoʋ.”

29 ܥܢܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܠܝܬ ܐܢܫ ܕܫܒܩ ܒܬܐ ܐܘ ܐܚܐ ܐܘ ܐܚܘܬܐ ܐܘ ܐܒܐ ܐܘ ܐܡܐ ܐܘ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܐܘ ܒܢܝܐ ܐܘ ܩܘܪܝܐ ܡܛܠܬܝ ܘܡܛܠ ܤܒܪܬܝ

Jesus answered, “Truly I say to you, there is no one who has left house, brothers, sisters, father, mother, wife, children, or fields, for my sake and for the sake of the gospel,

30 ܘܠܐ ܢܩܒܠ ܚܕ ܒܡܐܐ ܗܫܐ ܒܙܒܢܐ ܗܢܐ ܒܬܐ ܘܐܚܐ ܘܐܚܘܬܐ ܘܐܡܗܬܐ ܘܒܢܝܐ ܘܩܘܪܝܐ ܥܡ ܪܕܘܦܝܐ ܘܒܥܠܡܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܚܝܐ ܕܠܥܠܡ (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)

who will not receive now in this age a hundred times as many houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and fields—along with persecutions—and in the age to come, eternal life. (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)

31 ܤܓܝܐܐ ܕܝܢ ܩܕܡܝܐ ܕܢܗܘܘܢ ܐܚܪܝܐ ܘܐܚܪܝܐ ܩܕܡܝܐ

But many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first.”

32 ܟܕ ܤܠܩܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܝܢ ܒܐܘܪܚܐ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܗܘ ܝܫܘܥ ܩܕܝܡ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܘܡܬܬܡܗܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܐܙܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܬܪܗ ܟܕ ܕܚܝܠܝܢ ܘܕܒܪ ܠܬܪܥܤܪܬܗ ܘܫܪܝ ܕܢܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܕܡ ܕܥܬܝܕ ܕܢܗܘܐ ܠܗ

Now they were on the road going up to Jerusalem. Jesus was walking ahead of them, and they were amazed. But as they followed they became afraid. Again he took the twelve aside and began to tell them what was going to happen to him:

33 ܕܗܐ ܤܠܩܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܘܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܡܫܬܠܡ ܠܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܘܠܤܦܪܐ ܘܢܚܝܒܘܢܝܗܝ ܠܡܘܬܐ ܘܢܫܠܡܘܢܝܗܝ ܠܥܡܡܐ

“Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered up to the chief priests and scribes. They will condemn him to death and hand him over to the Gentiles.

34 ܘܢܒܙܚܘܢ ܒܗ ܘܢܢܓܕܘܢܝܗܝ ܘܢܪܩܘܢ ܒܐܦܘܗܝ ܘܢܩܛܠܘܢܝܗܝ ܘܠܝܘܡܐ ܕܬܠܬܐ ܢܩܘܡ

They will mock him, flog him, spit on him, and kill him. But on the third day he will rise again.”

35 ܘܩܪܒܘ ܠܘܬܗ ܝܥܩܘܒ ܘܝܘܚܢܢ ܒܢܝ ܙܒܕܝ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܡܠܦܢܐ ܨܒܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܕܟܠ ܕܢܫܐܠ ܬܥܒܕ ܠܢ

Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to him and said, “Teacher, we want yoʋ to do for us whatever we ask.”

36 ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܢܐ ܨܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܥܒܕ ܠܟܘܢ

So he said to them, “What do you want me to do for you?”

37 ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܗܒ ܠܢ ܕܚܕ ܢܬܒ ܡܢ ܝܡܝܢܟ ܘܚܕ ܡܢ ܤܡܠܟ ܒܫܘܒܚܟ

They said to him, “Grant that one of us may sit on yoʋr right and the other on yoʋr left in yoʋr glory.”

38 ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܢܐ ܫܐܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܬܫܬܘܢ ܟܤܐ ܕܐܢܐ ܫܬܐ ܐܢܐ ܘܡܥܡܘܕܝܬܐ ܕܐܢܐ ܥܡܕ ܐܢܐ ܬܥܡܕܘܢ

But Jesus said to them, “You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?”

39 ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܡܫܟܚܝܢܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܟܤܐ ܕܫܬܐ ܐܢܐ ܬܫܬܘܢ ܘܡܥܡܘܕܝܬܐ ܕܥܡܕ ܐܢܐ ܬܥܡܕܘܢ

They said to him, “We are able.” Then Jesus said to them, “You will indeed drink the cup that I drink, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with,

40 ܕܬܬܒܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܢ ܝܡܝܢܝ ܘܡܢ ܤܡܠܝ ܠܐ ܗܘܬ ܕܝܠܝ ܠܡܬܠ ܐܠܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܛܝܒܐ

but to sit on my right and on my left is not mine to give, but is for those for whom it has been prepared.”

41 ܘܟܕ ܫܡܥܘ ܥܤܪܐ ܫܪܝܘ ܪܛܢܝܢ ܥܠ ܝܥܩܘܒ ܘܝܘܚܢܢ

When the ten heard this, they started becoming indignant with James and John.

42 ܘܩܪܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܤܬܒܪܝܢ ܪܫܐ ܕܥܡܡܐ ܡܪܝܗܘܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܪܘܪܒܢܝܗܘܢ ܫܠܝܛܝܢ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ

So Jesus called them over and said to them, “You know that those who are recognized as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority over them.

43 ܠܐ ܕܝܢ ܗܟܢܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܒܝܢܬܟܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܡܢ ܕܨܒܐ ܒܟܘܢ ܕܢܗܘܐ ܪܒܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܡܫܡܫܢܐ

But it shall not be so among you. Instead, whoever wants to be great among you must be your servant,

44 ܘܐܝܢܐ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܕܨܒܐ ܕܢܗܘܐ ܩܕܡܝܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܥܒܕܐ ܕܟܠܢܫ

and whoever wants to be first among you must be a slave to all.

45 ܐܦ ܒܪܗ ܓܝܪ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܠܐ ܐܬܐ ܕܢܫܬܡܫ ܐܠܐ ܕܢܫܡܫ ܘܕܢܬܠ ܢܦܫܗ ܦܘܪܩܢܐ ܚܠܦ ܤܓܝܐܐ

For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

46 ܘܐܬܘ ܠܐܝܪܝܚܘ ܘܟܕ ܢܦܩ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܢ ܐܝܪܝܚܘ ܗܘ ܘܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܟܢܫܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܛܝܡܝ ܒܪ ܛܝܡܝ ܤܡܝܐ ܝܬܒ ܗܘܐ ܥܠ ܝܕ ܐܘܪܚܐ ܘܚܕܪ

Then they came to Jericho. Now as Jesus was leaving Jericho, along with his disciples and a large crowd, the blind man Bartimaeus, son of Timaeus, was sitting by the road begging.

47 ܘܫܡܥ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܗܘ ܢܨܪܝܐ ܘܫܪܝ ܠܡܩܥܐ ܘܠܡܐܡܪ ܒܪܗ ܕܕܘܝܕ ܐܬܪܚܡ ܥܠܝ

When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, “Son of David, Jesus, have mercy on me!”

48 ܘܟܐܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܗ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܕܢܫܬܘܩ ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܩܥܐ ܗܘܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܒܪܗ ܕܕܘܝܕ ܐܬܪܚܡ ܥܠܝ

Many people began rebuking him, telling him to be silent, but he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”

49 ܘܩܡ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܦܩܕ ܕܢܩܪܘܢܝܗܝ ܘܩܪܐܘܗܝ ܠܤܡܝܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܐܬܠܒܒ ܩܘܡ ܩܪܐ ܠܟ

Then Jesus stopped and asked for him to be called over. So they called out to the blind man and said to him, “Take courage and get up; he is calling for yoʋ.”

50 ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܤܡܝܐ ܫܕܐ ܠܒܫܗ ܘܩܡ ܐܬܐ ܠܘܬ ܝܫܘܥ

Throwing off his cloak, he rose and came to Jesus.

51 ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܢܐ ܨܒܐ ܐܢܬ ܐܥܒܕ ܠܟ ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܤܡܝܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܪܒܝ ܕܐܚܙܐ

Then Jesus said to him, “What do yoʋ want me to do for yoʋ?” The blind man said to him, “Rabboni, I want to receive my sight.”

52 ܘܝܫܘܥ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܚܙܝ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܟ ܐܚܝܬܟ ܘܡܚܕܐ ܐܬܚܙܝ ܠܗ ܘܐܙܠ ܗܘܐ ܒܐܘܪܚܐ

Jesus said to him, “Go; yoʋr faith has healed yoʋ.” Immediately he received his sight and began following Jesus on the road.
