ܡܬܝ 9
| ܘܤܠܩ ܠܐܠܦܐ ܘܥܒܪ ܐܬܐ ܠܡܕܝܢܬܗ | 1 |
Afterwards Jesus got into a boat, and, crossing over, came to his own city.
| ܘܩܪܒܘ ܠܗ ܡܫܪܝܐ ܟܕ ܪܡܐ ܒܥܪܤܐ ܘܚܙܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘ ܡܫܪܝܐ ܐܬܠܒܒ ܒܪܝ ܫܒܝܩܝܢ ܠܟ ܚܛܗܝܟ | 2 |
And there some people brought to him a paralysed man on a bed. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the man: “Courage, Child! Your sins are forgiven.”
| ܐܢܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܢ ܤܦܪܐ ܐܡܪܘ ܒܢܦܫܗܘܢ ܗܢܐ ܡܓܕܦ | 3 |
Then some of the teachers of the Law said to themselves: “This man is blaspheming!”
| ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܝܕܥ ܡܚܫܒܬܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܢܐ ܡܬܚܫܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܒܠܒܟܘܢ | 4 |
Knowing their thoughts, Jesus exclaimed: “Why do your cherish such wicked thoughts?
| ܡܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܦܫܝܩ ܠܡܐܡܪ ܕܫܒܝܩܝܢ ܠܟ ܚܛܗܝܟ ܐܘ ܠܡܐܡܪ ܩܘܡ ܗܠܟ | 5 |
Which, I ask, is the easier? — to say ‘Your sins are forgiven’? or to say ‘Get up, and walk about’?
| ܕܬܕܥܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܠܡܫܒܩ ܚܛܗܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘ ܡܫܪܝܐ ܩܘܡ ܫܩܘܠ ܥܪܤܟ ܘܙܠ ܠܒܝܬܟ | 6 |
But, that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins” — then he said to the paralysed man — “Get up, take up your bed, and return to your home.”
| ܘܩܡ ܐܙܠ ܠܒܝܬܗ | 7 |
The man got up and went to his home.
| ܟܕ ܚܙܘ ܕܝܢ ܟܢܫܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܚܠܘ ܘܫܒܚܘ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܕܝܗܒ ܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܕܐܝܟ ܗܢܐ ܠܒܢܝܢܫܐ | 8 |
When the crowd saw this, they were awe-struck, and praised God for giving such power to men.
| ܘܟܕ ܥܒܪ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܢ ܬܡܢ ܚܙܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܕܝܬܒ ܒܝܬ ܡܟܤܐ ܕܫܡܗ ܡܬܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܬܐ ܒܬܪܝ ܘܩܡ ܐܙܠ ܒܬܪܗ | 9 |
As Jesus went along, he saw a man, called Matthew, sitting in the tax-office, and said to him: “Follow me.” Matthew got up and followed him.
| ܘܟܕ ܤܡܝܟܝܢ ܒܒܝܬܐ ܐܬܘ ܡܟܤܐ ܘܚܛܝܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܐܤܬܡܟܘ ܥܡ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܥܡ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ | 10 |
And, later on, when he was at table in the house, a number of tax-gatherers and outcasts came in and took their places at table with Jesus and his disciples.
| ܘܟܕ ܚܙܘ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܠܡܢܐ ܥܡ ܡܟܤܐ ܘܚܛܝܐ ܠܥܤ ܪܒܟܘܢ | 11 |
When the Pharisees saw this, they said to his disciples: “Why does your Teacher eat in the company of tax-gatherers and outcasts?”
| ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܫܡܥ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܤܢܝܩܝܢ ܚܠܝܡܐ ܥܠ ܐܤܝܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܒܝܫܐܝܬ ܥܒܝܕܝܢ | 12 |
On hearing this, Jesus said: “It is not those who are in health that need a doctor, but those who are ill.
| ܙܠܘ ܝܠܦܘ ܡܢܘ ܚܢܢܐ ܒܥܐ ܐܢܐ ܘܠܐ ܕܒܚܬܐ ܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܬܝܬ ܕܐܩܪܐ ܠܙܕܝܩܐ ܐܠܐ ܠܚܛܝܐ | 13 |
Go and learn what this means — ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice’; for I did not come to call the religious, but the outcast.”
| ܗܝܕܝܢ ܩܪܒܘ ܠܗ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܕܝܘܚܢܢ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܡܢܐ ܚܢܢ ܘܦܪܝܫܐ ܨܝܡܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܤܓܝ ܘܬܠܡܝܕܝܟ ܠܐ ܨܝܡܝܢ | 14 |
Then John’s disciples came to Jesus, and asked: “Why do we and the Pharisees fast while your disciples do not?”
| ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܕܠܡܐ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܒܢܘܗܝ ܕܓܢܘܢܐ ܠܡܨܡ ܟܡܐ ܕܚܬܢܐ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܐܬܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܝܘܡܬܐ ܟܕ ܢܫܬܩܠ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܚܬܢܐ ܘܗܝܕܝܢ ܢܨܘܡܘܢ | 15 |
Jesus answered: “Can the bridegroom’s friends mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come, when the bridegroom will be parted from them, and they will fast then.
| ܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܪܡܐ ܐܘܪܩܥܬܐ ܚܕܬܐ ܥܠ ܢܚܬܐ ܒܠܝܐ ܕܠܐ ܬܬܘܦ ܡܠܝܘܬܗ ܡܢ ܗܘ ܢܚܬܐ ܘܢܗܘܐ ܒܙܥܐ ܝܬܝܪܐ | 16 |
No man ever puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; for such a patch tears away from the garment, and a worse rent is made.
| ܘܠܐ ܪܡܝܢ ܚܡܪܐ ܚܕܬܐ ܒܙܩܐ ܒܠܝܬܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܨܛܪܝܢ ܙܩܐ ܘܚܡܪܐ ܡܬܐܫܕ ܘܙܩܐ ܐܒܕܢ ܐܠܐ ܪܡܝܢ ܚܡܪܐ ܚܕܬܐ ܒܙܩܐ ܚܕܬܬܐ ܘܬܪܝܗܘܢ ܡܬܢܛܪܝܢ | 17 |
Nor do people put new wine into old wine-skins; for, if they do, the skins burst, and the wine runs out, and the skins are lost; but they put new wine into fresh skins, and so both are preserved.”
| ܟܕ ܕܝܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܡܡܠܠ ܗܘܐ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܐܬܐ ܐܪܟܘܢܐ ܚܕ ܩܪܒ ܤܓܕ ܠܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܒܪܬܝ ܗܫܐ ܡܝܬܬ ܐܠܐ ܬܐ ܤܝܡ ܐܝܕܟ ܥܠܝܗ ܘܬܚܐ | 18 |
While Jesus was saying this, a President of a Synagogue came up and bowed to the ground before him. “My daughter,” he said, “Has just died; but come and place your hand on her, and she will be restored to life.”
| ܘܩܡ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܐܙܠܘ ܒܬܪܗ | 19 |
So Jesus rose and followed him, and his disciples went also.
| ܘܗܐ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܕܪܕܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܡܗ ܫܢܝܢ ܬܪܬܥܤܪܐ ܐܬܬ ܡܢ ܒܤܬܪܗ ܘܩܪܒܬ ܠܩܪܢܐ ܕܠܒܘܫܗ | 20 |
But meanwhile a woman, who had been suffering from haemorrhage for twelve years, came up behind and touched the tassel of his cloak.
| ܐܡܪܐ ܗܘܬ ܓܝܪ ܒܢܦܫܗ ܐܦܢ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܠܡܐܢܗ ܩܪܒܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܬܐܤܝܐ ܐܢܐ | 21 |
“If I only touch his cloak,” she said to herself, “I shall get well.”
| ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܐܬܦܢܝ ܚܙܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܬܠܒܒܝ ܒܪܬܝ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܟܝ ܐܚܝܬܟܝ ܘܐܬܐܤܝܬ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܗܝ ܡܢ ܗܝ ܫܥܬܐ | 22 |
Turning and seeing her, Jesus said: “Courage, Daughter! your faith has delivered you.” And the woman was delivered from her malady from that very hour.
| ܘܐܬܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܒܝܬܗ ܕܐܪܟܘܢܐ ܘܚܙܐ ܙܡܪܐ ܘܟܢܫܐ ܕܡܫܬܓܫܝܢ | 23 |
When Jesus reached the President’s house, seeing the flute players, and a number of people all in confusion,
| ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܦܪܘܩܘ ܠܟܘܢ ܛܠܝܬܐ ܓܝܪ ܠܐ ܡܝܬܬ ܐܠܐ ܕܡܟܐ ܗܝ ܘܓܚܟܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܠܘܗܝ | 24 |
he said: “Go away, the little girl is not dead; she is asleep.” They began to laugh at him;
| ܘܟܕ ܐܦܩ ܠܟܢܫܐ ܥܠ ܐܚܕܗ ܒܐܝܕܗ ܘܩܡܬ ܛܠܝܬܐ | 25 |
but, when the people had been sent out, Jesus went in, and took the little girl’s hand, and she rose.
| ܘܢܦܩ ܛܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܒܟܠܗ ܐܪܥܐ ܗܝ | 26 |
The report of this spread through all that part of the country.
| ܘܟܕ ܥܒܪ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܢ ܬܡܢ ܕܒܩܘܗܝ ܤܡܝܐ ܬܪܝܢ ܕܩܥܝܢ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܐܬܪܚܡ ܥܠܝܢ ܒܪܗ ܕܕܘܝܕ | 27 |
As Jesus was passing on from there, he was followed by two blind men, who kept calling out: “Take pity on us, Son of David!”
| ܘܟܕ ܐܬܐ ܠܒܝܬܐ ܩܪܒܘ ܠܗ ܗܢܘܢ ܤܡܝܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܡܫܟܚ ܐܢܐ ܗܕܐ ܠܡܥܒܕ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܐܝܢ ܡܪܢ | 28 |
When he had gone indoors, the blind men came up to him; and Jesus asked them: “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” “Yes, Master!” they answered.
| ܗܝܕܝܢ ܩܪܒ ܠܥܝܢܝܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܗܝܡܢܬܘܢ ܢܗܘܐ ܠܟܘܢ | 29 |
Upon that he touched their eyes, and said: “It shall be according to your faith.”
| ܘܡܚܕܐ ܐܬܦܬܚ ܥܝܢܝܗܘܢ ܘܟܐܐ ܒܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܚܙܘ ܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܢܕܥ | 30 |
Then their eyes were opened. Jesus sternly cautioned them. “See that no one knows of it,” he said.
| ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܢܦܩܘ ܐܛܒܘܗܝ ܒܟܠܗ ܐܪܥܐ ܗܝ | 31 |
But the men went out, and spread the news about him through all that part of the country.
| ܘܟܕ ܢܦܩ ܝܫܘܥ ܩܪܒܘ ܠܗ ܚܪܫܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܕܝܘܐ | 32 |
Just as they were going out, some people brought up to Jesus a dumb man who was possessed by a demon;
| ܘܡܢ ܕܢܦܩ ܕܝܘܐ ܡܠܠ ܗܘ ܚܪܫܐ ܘܐܬܕܡܪܘ ܟܢܫܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܐ ܡܬܘܡ ܐܬܚܙܝ ܗܟܢܐ ܒܐܝܤܪܐܝܠ | 33 |
and, as soon as the demon had been driven out, the dumb man spoke. The people were astonished at this, and exclaimed: “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel!”
| ܦܪܝܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܪܫܐ ܕܕܝܘܐ ܡܦܩ ܕܝܘܐ | 34 |
But the Pharisees said: “He drives out the demons by the help of the chief of the demons.”
| ܘܡܬܟܪܟ ܗܘܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܘܒܩܘܪܝܐ ܘܡܠܦ ܗܘܐ ܒܟܢܘܫܬܗܘܢ ܘܡܟܪܙ ܤܒܪܬܐ ܕܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܘܡܐܤܐ ܟܠ ܟܘܪܗܢܝܢ ܘܟܠ ܟܐܒܝܢ | 35 |
Jesus went round all the towns and the villages, teaching in their Synagogues, proclaiming the Good News of the Kingdom, and curing every kind of disease and every kind of sickness.
| ܟܕ ܚܙܐ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܟܢܫܐ ܐܬܪܚܡ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܕܠܐܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܫܪܝܢ ܐܝܟ ܥܪܒܐ ܕܠܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܪܥܝܐ | 36 |
But, when he saw the crowds, his heart was moved with compassion for them, because they were distressed and harassed, ‘like sheep without a shepherd’;
| ܘܐܡܪ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܚܨܕܐ ܤܓܝ ܘܦܥܠܐ ܙܥܘܪܝܢ | 37 |
and he said to his disciples: “The harvest is abundant, but the labourers are few.
| ܒܥܘ ܗܟܝܠ ܡܢ ܡܪܐ ܚܨܕܐ ܕܢܦܩ ܦܥܠܐ ܠܚܨܕܗ | 38 |
Therefore pray to the Owner of the harvest to send labourers to gather in his harvest.”
