< Mark 10 >

1 Then Jesus left that place and went into the region of Judea, beyond the Jordan. Again the crowds came to Him and He taught them, as was His custom.
ܘܩܡ ܡܢ ܬܡܢ ܘܐܬܐ ܠܬܚܘܡܐ ܕܝܗܘܕ ܠܥܒܪܐ ܕܝܘܪܕܢܢ ܘܐܙܠܘ ܠܬܡܢ ܠܘܬܗ ܟܢܫܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܘܡܠܦ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܬܘܒ ܐܝܟ ܕܡܥܕ ܗܘܐ
2 Some Pharisees came to test Him. “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?” they inquired.
ܘܩܪܒܘ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܡܢܤܝܢ ܠܗ ܘܡܫܐܠܝܢ ܕܐܢ ܫܠܝܛ ܠܓܒܪܐ ܕܢܫܒܘܩ ܐܢܬܬܗ
3 “What did Moses command you?” He replied.
ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܢܐ ܦܩܕܟܘܢ ܡܘܫܐ
4 They answered, “Moses permitted a man to write his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away.”
ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܡܘܫܐ ܐܦܤ ܠܢ ܕܢܟܬܘܒ ܟܬܒܐ ܕܫܘܒܩܢܐ ܘܢܫܪܐ
5 But Jesus told them, “Moses wrote this commandment for you because of your hardness of heart.
ܥܢܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܘܩܒܠ ܩܫܝܘܬ ܠܒܟܘܢ ܟܬܒ ܠܟܘܢ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܗܢܐ
6 However, from the beginning of creation, ‘God made them male and female.’
ܡܢ ܒܪܫܝܬ ܕܝܢ ܕܟܪܐ ܘܢܩܒܬܐ ܥܒܕ ܐܢܘܢ ܐܠܗܐ
7 ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife,
ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܢܫܒܘܩ ܓܒܪܐ ܠܐܒܘܗܝ ܘܠܐܡܗ ܘܢܩܦ ܠܐܢܬܬܗ
8 and the two will become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two, but one flesh.
ܘܢܗܘܘܢ ܬܪܝܗܘܢ ܚܕ ܒܤܪ ܡܟܝܠ ܠܐ ܗܘܘ ܬܪܝܢ ܐܠܐ ܚܕ ܒܤܪ
9 Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.”
ܡܕܡ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܙܘܓ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܠܐ ܢܦܪܫ
10 When they were back inside the house, the disciples asked Jesus about this matter.
ܘܫܐܠܘܗܝ ܬܘܒ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܒܒܝܬܐ ܥܠ ܗܕܐ
11 So He told them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her.
ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܟܠ ܡܢ ܕܢܫܪܐ ܐܢܬܬܗ ܘܢܤܒ ܐܚܪܬܐ ܓܐܪ
12 And if a woman divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery.”
ܘܐܢ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܬܫܪܐ ܒܥܠܗ ܘܬܗܘܐ ܠܐܚܪܢܐ ܓܝܪܐ
13 Now people were bringing the little children to Jesus for Him to place His hands on them, and the disciples rebuked those who brought them.
ܘܡܩܪܒܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܛܠܝܐ ܕܢܩܪܘܒ ܠܗܘܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܕܝܢ ܟܐܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܗܠܝܢ ܕܡܩܪܒܝܢ ܠܗܘܢ
14 But when Jesus saw this, He was indignant and told them, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them! For the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܚܙܐ ܘܐܬܒܐܫ ܠܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܫܒܘܩܘ ܛܠܝܐ ܐܬܝܢ ܠܘܬܝ ܘܠܐ ܬܟܠܘܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܕܐܝܠܝܢ ܓܝܪ ܕܐܝܟ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܐܝܬܝܗ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ
15 Truly I tell you, anyone who does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”
ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܟܠ ܕܠܐ ܢܩܒܠ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܝܟ ܛܠܝܐ ܠܐ ܢܥܘܠ ܠܗ
16 And He took the children in His arms, placed His hands on them, and blessed them.
ܘܫܩܠ ܐܢܘܢ ܥܠ ܕܪܥܘܗܝ ܘܤܡ ܐܝܕܗ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܘܒܪܟ ܐܢܘܢ
17 As Jesus started on His way, a man ran up and knelt before Him. “Good Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
ܘܟܕ ܪܕܐ ܒܐܘܪܚܐ ܪܗܛ ܚܕ ܢܦܠ ܥܠ ܒܘܪܟܘܗܝ ܘܡܫܐܠ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܠܦܢܐ ܛܒܐ ܡܢܐ ܐܥܒܕ ܕܐܬܪ ܚܝܐ ܕܠܥܠܡ (aiōnios g166)
18 “Why do you call Me good?” Jesus replied. “No one is good except God alone.
ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܢܐ ܩܪܐ ܐܢܬ ܠܝ ܛܒܐ ܠܝܬ ܛܒܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܚܕ ܐܠܗܐ
19 You know the commandments: ‘Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not bear false witness, do not cheat others, honor your father and mother.’”
ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܬ ܠܐ ܬܓܘܪ ܠܐ ܬܓܢܘܒ ܠܐ ܬܩܛܘܠ ܘܠܐ ܬܤܗܕ ܤܗܕܘܬܐ ܕܓܠܬܐ ܠܐ ܬܛܠܘܡ ܝܩܪ ܠܐܒܘܟ ܘܠܐܡܟ
20 “Teacher,” he replied, “all these I have kept from my youth.”
ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܥܢܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܠܦܢܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܢܛܪܬ ܐܢܝܢ ܡܢ ܛܠܝܘܬܝ
21 Jesus looked at him, loved him, and said to him, “There is one thing you lack: Go, sell everything you own and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me.”
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
22 But the man was saddened by these words and went away in sorrow, because he had great wealth.
ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܬܟܡܪ ܒܡܠܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܘܐܙܠ ܟܕ ܥܝܝܩܐ ܠܗ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܓܝܪ ܢܟܤܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ
23 Then Jesus looked around and said to His disciples, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!”
ܚܪ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܟܡܐ ܥܛܠܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܢܟܤܐ ܕܢܥܠܘܢ ܠܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ
24 And the disciples were amazed at His words. But Jesus said to them again, “Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God!
ܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܬܕܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܠ ܡܠܘܗܝ ܘܥܢܐ ܬܘܒ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܒܢܝ ܟܡܐ ܥܛܠܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܬܟܝܠܝܢ ܥܠ ܢܟܤܝܗܘܢ ܕܢܥܠܘܢ ܠܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ
25 It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”
ܦܫܝܩ ܗܘ ܠܓܡܠܐ ܕܢܥܘܠ ܒܚܪܘܪܐ ܕܡܚܛܐ ܐܘ ܥܬܝܪܐ ܠܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܠܡܥܠ
26 They were even more astonished and said to one another, “Who then can be saved?”
ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܡܬܕܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܒܝܢܝܗܘܢ ܡܢܘ ܡܫܟܚ ܠܡܚܐ
27 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but not with God. For all things are possible with God.”
ܚܪ ܕܝܢ ܒܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܘܬ ܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܗܕܐ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚܐ ܐܠܐ ܠܘܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܓܝܪ ܡܫܟܚܐ ܠܘܬ ܐܠܗܐ
28 Peter began to say to Him, “Look, we have left everything and followed You.”
ܘܫܪܝ ܟܐܦܐ ܠܡܐܡܪ ܗܐ ܚܢܢ ܫܒܩܢ ܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܘܢܩܦܢܟ
29 “Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for My sake and for the gospel
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
30 will fail to receive a hundredfold in the present age—houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and fields, along with persecutions—and in the age to come, eternal life. (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
ܘܠܐ ܢܩܒܠ ܚܕ ܒܡܐܐ ܗܫܐ ܒܙܒܢܐ ܗܢܐ ܒܬܐ ܘܐܚܐ ܘܐܚܘܬܐ ܘܐܡܗܬܐ ܘܒܢܝܐ ܘܩܘܪܝܐ ܥܡ ܪܕܘܦܝܐ ܘܒܥܠܡܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܚܝܐ ܕܠܥܠܡ (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
31 But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first.”
ܤܓܝܐܐ ܕܝܢ ܩܕܡܝܐ ܕܢܗܘܘܢ ܐܚܪܝܐ ܘܐܚܪܝܐ ܩܕܡܝܐ
32 As they were going up the road to Jerusalem, Jesus was walking ahead of them. The disciples were amazed, but those who followed were afraid. Again Jesus took the Twelve aside and began to tell them what was going to happen to Him:
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
33 “Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and scribes. They will condemn Him to death and will deliver Him over to the Gentiles,
ܕܗܐ ܤܠܩܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܘܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܡܫܬܠܡ ܠܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܘܠܤܦܪܐ ܘܢܚܝܒܘܢܝܗܝ ܠܡܘܬܐ ܘܢܫܠܡܘܢܝܗܝ ܠܥܡܡܐ
34 who will mock Him and spit on Him and flog Him and kill Him. And after three days He will rise again.”
ܘܢܒܙܚܘܢ ܒܗ ܘܢܢܓܕܘܢܝܗܝ ܘܢܪܩܘܢ ܒܐܦܘܗܝ ܘܢܩܛܠܘܢܝܗܝ ܘܠܝܘܡܐ ܕܬܠܬܐ ܢܩܘܡ
35 Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to Jesus and declared, “Teacher, we want You to do for us whatever we ask.”
ܘܩܪܒܘ ܠܘܬܗ ܝܥܩܘܒ ܘܝܘܚܢܢ ܒܢܝ ܙܒܕܝ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܡܠܦܢܐ ܨܒܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܕܟܠ ܕܢܫܐܠ ܬܥܒܕ ܠܢ
36 “What do you want Me to do for you?” He inquired.
ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܢܐ ܨܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܥܒܕ ܠܟܘܢ
37 They answered, “Grant that one of us may sit at Your right hand and the other at Your left in Your glory.”
ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܗܒ ܠܢ ܕܚܕ ܢܬܒ ܡܢ ܝܡܝܢܟ ܘܚܕ ܡܢ ܤܡܠܟ ܒܫܘܒܚܟ
38 “You do not know what you are asking,” Jesus replied. “Can you drink the cup I will drink, or be baptized with the baptism I will undergo?”
ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܢܐ ܫܐܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܬܫܬܘܢ ܟܤܐ ܕܐܢܐ ܫܬܐ ܐܢܐ ܘܡܥܡܘܕܝܬܐ ܕܐܢܐ ܥܡܕ ܐܢܐ ܬܥܡܕܘܢ
39 “We can,” the brothers answered. “You will drink the cup that I drink,” Jesus said, “and you will be baptized with the baptism that I undergo.
ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܡܫܟܚܝܢܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܟܤܐ ܕܫܬܐ ܐܢܐ ܬܫܬܘܢ ܘܡܥܡܘܕܝܬܐ ܕܥܡܕ ܐܢܐ ܬܥܡܕܘܢ
40 But to sit at My right or left is not Mine to grant. These seats belong to those for whom they have been prepared.”
ܕܬܬܒܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܢ ܝܡܝܢܝ ܘܡܢ ܤܡܠܝ ܠܐ ܗܘܬ ܕܝܠܝ ܠܡܬܠ ܐܠܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܛܝܒܐ
41 When the ten heard about this, they became indignant with James and John.
ܘܟܕ ܫܡܥܘ ܥܤܪܐ ܫܪܝܘ ܪܛܢܝܢ ܥܠ ܝܥܩܘܒ ܘܝܘܚܢܢ
42 So Jesus called them together and said, “You know that those regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their superiors exercise authority over them.
ܘܩܪܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܤܬܒܪܝܢ ܪܫܐ ܕܥܡܡܐ ܡܪܝܗܘܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܪܘܪܒܢܝܗܘܢ ܫܠܝܛܝܢ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ
43 But it shall not be this way among you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,
ܠܐ ܕܝܢ ܗܟܢܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܒܝܢܬܟܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܡܢ ܕܨܒܐ ܒܟܘܢ ܕܢܗܘܐ ܪܒܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܡܫܡܫܢܐ
44 and whoever wants to be first must be the slave of all.
ܘܐܝܢܐ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܕܨܒܐ ܕܢܗܘܐ ܩܕܡܝܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܥܒܕܐ ܕܟܠܢܫ
45 For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.”
ܐܦ ܒܪܗ ܓܝܪ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܠܐ ܐܬܐ ܕܢܫܬܡܫ ܐܠܐ ܕܢܫܡܫ ܘܕܢܬܠ ܢܦܫܗ ܦܘܪܩܢܐ ܚܠܦ ܤܓܝܐܐ
46 Next, they came to Jericho. And as Jesus and His disciples were leaving Jericho with a large crowd, a blind beggar named Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, was sitting beside the road.
ܘܐܬܘ ܠܐܝܪܝܚܘ ܘܟܕ ܢܦܩ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܢ ܐܝܪܝܚܘ ܗܘ ܘܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܟܢܫܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܛܝܡܝ ܒܪ ܛܝܡܝ ܤܡܝܐ ܝܬܒ ܗܘܐ ܥܠ ܝܕ ܐܘܪܚܐ ܘܚܕܪ
47 When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”
ܘܫܡܥ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܗܘ ܢܨܪܝܐ ܘܫܪܝ ܠܡܩܥܐ ܘܠܡܐܡܪ ܒܪܗ ܕܕܘܝܕ ܐܬܪܚܡ ܥܠܝ
48 Many people admonished him to be silent, but he cried out all the louder, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”
ܘܟܐܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܗ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܕܢܫܬܘܩ ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܩܥܐ ܗܘܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܒܪܗ ܕܕܘܝܕ ܐܬܪܚܡ ܥܠܝ
49 Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.” So they called the blind man. “Take courage!” they said. “Get up! He is calling for you.”
ܘܩܡ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܦܩܕ ܕܢܩܪܘܢܝܗܝ ܘܩܪܐܘܗܝ ܠܤܡܝܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܐܬܠܒܒ ܩܘܡ ܩܪܐ ܠܟ
50 Throwing off his cloak, Bartimaeus jumped up and came to Jesus.
ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܤܡܝܐ ܫܕܐ ܠܒܫܗ ܘܩܡ ܐܬܐ ܠܘܬ ܝܫܘܥ
51 “What do you want Me to do for you?” Jesus asked. “Rabboni,” said the blind man, “let me see again.”
ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܢܐ ܨܒܐ ܐܢܬ ܐܥܒܕ ܠܟ ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܤܡܝܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܪܒܝ ܕܐܚܙܐ
52 “Go,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you.” And immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road.
ܘܝܫܘܥ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܚܙܝ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܟ ܐܚܝܬܟ ܘܡܚܕܐ ܐܬܚܙܝ ܠܗ ܘܐܙܠ ܗܘܐ ܒܐܘܪܚܐ
