< Mark 7 >

1 And there came together to him the Pharisees and certain of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem,
وَاجْتَمَعَ إِلَيْهِ الْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ وَبَعْضُ الْكَتَبَةِ، قَادِمِينَ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ.١
2 And had seen that some of his disciples took their bread with unclean, that is, unwashed, hands.
وَرَأَوْا بَعْضَ تَلامِيذِهِ يَتَنَاوَلُونَ الطَّعَامَ بِأَيْدٍ نَجِسَةٍ، أَيْ غَيْرِ مَغْسُولَةٍ.٢
3 Now the Pharisees, and all the Jews, do not take food without washing their hands with care, keeping the old rule which has been handed down to them:
فَقَدْ كَانَ الْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ، وَالْيَهُودُ عَامَّةً، لَا يَأْكُلُونَ مَا لَمْ يَغْسِلُوا أَيْدِيَهُمْ مِرَاراً، مُتَمَسِّكِينَ بِتَقْلِيدِ الشُّيُوخِ.٣
4 And when they come from the market-place, they take no food till their hands are washed; and a number of other orders there are, which have been handed down to them to keep — washings of cups and pots and brass vessels.
وَإذَا عَادُوا مِنَ السُّوقِ، لَا يَأْكُلُونَ مَا لَمْ يَغْتَسِلُوا. وَهُنَاكَ طُقُوسٌ أُخْرَى كَثِيرَةٌ تَسَلَّمُوهَا لِيَتَمَسَّكُوا بِها، كَغَسْلِ الْكُؤُوسِ وَالأَبَارِيقِ وَأَوْعِيَةِ النُّحَاسِ.٤
5 And the Pharisees and the scribes put the question to him, Why do your disciples not keep the rules of the fathers, but take their bread with unwashed hands?
عِنْدَئِذٍ سَأَلَهُ الْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ وَالْكَتَبَةُ: «لِمَاذَا لَا يَسْلُكُ تَلامِيذُكَ وَفْقاً لِتَقْلِيدِ الشُّيُوخِ، بَلْ يَتَنَاوَلُونَ الطَّعَامَ بِأَيْدٍ نَجِسَةٍ؟»٥
6 And he said, Well did Isaiah say of you, you false ones: These people give me honour with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِمْ قَائِلاً: «أَحْسَنَ إِشَعْيَاءُ إِذْ تَنَبَّأَ عَنْكُمْ أَيُّهَا الْمُنَافِقُونَ، كَمَا جَاءَ فِي الْكِتَابِ: هَذَا الشَّعْبُ يُكْرِمُنِي بِشَفَتَيْهِ، وَأَمَّا قَلْبُهُ فَبَعِيدٌ عَنِّي جِدّاً.٦
7 But their worship is to no purpose, while they give as their teaching the rules of men.
إِنَّمَا بَاطِلاً يَعْبُدُونَنِي وَهُمْ يُعَلِّمُونَ تَعَالِيمَ لَيْسَتْ إِلّا وَصَايَا النَّاسِ!٧
8 For, turning away from the law of God, you keep the rules of men.
فَقَدْ أَهْمَلْتُمْ وَصِيَّةَ اللهِ وَتَمَسَّكْتُمْ بِتَقْلِيدِ النَّاسِ!»٨
9 And he said to them, Truly you put on one side the law of God, so that you may keep the rules which have been handed down to you.
وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «حَقّاً أَنَّكُمْ رَفَضْتُمْ وَصِيَّةَ اللهِ لِتُحَافِظُوا عَلَى تَقْلِيدِكُمْ أَنْتُمْ!٩
10 For Moses said, Give honour to your father and mother, and, He who says evil of father or mother, let him have the punishment of death:
فَإِنَّ مُوسَى قَالَ: أَكْرِمْ أَبَاكَ وَأُمَّكَ! وَأَيْضاً: مَنْ أَهَانَ أَبَاهُ أَوْ أُمَّهُ، فَلْيَكُنِ الْمَوْتُ عِقَاباً لَهُ!١٠
11 But you say, If a man says to his father or his mother, That by which you might have had profit from me is Corban, that is to say, Given to God,
وَلكِنَّكُمْ أَنْتُمْ تَقُولُونَ: إِذَا قَالَ أَحَدٌ لأَبِيهِ أَوْ أُمِّهِ: إِنَّ مَا كُنْتُ أَعُولُكَ بِهِ قَدْ جَعَلْتُهُ قُرْبَاناً، أَيْ تَقْدِمَةً لِلْهَيْكَلِ،١١
12 You no longer let him do anything for his father or his mother;
فَهُوَ فِي حِلٍّ مِنْ إِعَانَةِ أَبِيهِ أَوْ أُمِّهِ!١٢
13 Making the word of God of no effect by your rule, which you have given: and a number of other such things you do.
وَهكَذَا تُبْطِلُونَ كَلِمَةَ اللهِ بِتَعْلِيمِكُمُ التَّقْلِيدِيِّ الَّذِي تَتَنَاقَلُونَهُ. وَهُنَاكَ أُمُورٌ كَثِيرَةٌ مِثْلُ هذِهِ تَفْعَلُونَهَا!»١٣
14 And turning to the people again, he said to them, Give ear to me all of you, and let my words be clear to you:
وَإِذْ دَعَا الْجَمْعَ إِلَيْهِ ثَانِيَةً، قَالَ لَهُمْ: «اسْمَعُوا لِي كُلُّكُمْ وَافْهَمُوا!١٤
15 There is nothing outside the man which, going into him, is able to make him unclean: but the things which come out of the man are those which make the man unclean.
لَا شَيْءَ مِنْ خَارِجِ الإِنْسَانِ إِذَا دَخَلَهُ يُمْكِنُ أَنْ يُنَجِّسَهُ. أَمَّا الأَشْيَاءُ الْخَارِجَةُ مِنَ الإِنْسَانِ، فَهِيَ الَّتِي تُنَجِّسُهُ.١٥
مَنْ لَهُ أُذُنَانِ لِلسَّمْعِ، فَلْيَسْمَعْ».١٦
17 And when he had gone into the house away from all the people, his disciples put questions to him about the saying.
وَلَمَّا غَادَرَ الْجَمْعَ وَدَخَلَ الْبَيْتَ، اسْتَفْسَرَهُ التَّلامِيذُ مَغْزَى الْمَثَلِ،١٧
18 And he said to them, Have even you so little wisdom? Do you not see that whatever goes into a man from outside is not able to make him unclean,
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَهكَذَا أَنْتُمْ أَيْضاً لَا تَفْهَمُونَ؟ أَلا تُدْرِكُونَ أَنَّ كُلَّ مَا يَدْخُلُ الإِنْسَانَ مِنَ الْخَارِجِ لَا يُمْكِنُ أَنْ يُنَجِّسَهُ،١٨
19 Because it goes not into the heart but into the stomach, and goes out with the waste? He said this, making all food clean.
لأَنَّهُ لَا يَدْخُلُ إِلَى قَلْبِهِ بَلْ إِلَى الْبَطْنِ، ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ إِلَى الْخَلاءِ؟» مِمَّا يَجْعَلُ الأَطْعِمَةَ كُلَّهَا طَاهِرَةً.١٩
20 And he said, That which comes out of the man, that makes the man unclean.
ثُمَّ قَالَ: «إِنَّ الَّذِي يَخْرُجُ مِنَ الإِنْسَانِ، هُوَ يُنَجِّسُ الإِنْسَانَ.٢٠
21 Because from inside, from the heart of men, come evil thoughts and unclean pleasures,
فَإِنَّهُ مِنَ الدَّاخِلِ، مِنْ قُلُوبِ النَّاسِ، تَنْبُعُ الأَفْكَارُ الشِّرِّيرَةُ، الْفِسْقُ، السَّرِقَةُ، الْقَتْلُ،٢١
22 The taking of goods and of life, broken faith between husband and wife, the desire of wealth, wrongdoing, deceit, sins of the flesh, an evil eye, angry words, pride, foolish acts:
الزِّنَى، الطَّمَعُ، الْخُبْثُ، الْخِدَاعُ، الْعَهَارَةُ، الْعَيْنُ الشِّرِّيرَةُ، التَّجْدِيفُ، الْكِبْرِيَاءُ، الْحَمَاقَةُ٢٢
23 All these evil things come from inside, and make the man unclean.
هذِهِ الأُمُورُ الشِّرِّيرَةُ كُلُّهَا تَنْبُعُ مِنْ دَاخِلِ الإِنْسَانِ وَتُنَجِّسُهُ».٢٣
24 And he went away from there to the country of Tyre and Sidon. And he went into a house, desiring that no man might have knowledge of it: and he was not able to keep it secret.
ثُمَّ تَرَكَ يَسُوعُ تِلْكَ الْمِنْطَقَةَ وَذَهَبَ إِلَى نَوَاحِي صُورَ. فَدَخَلَ بَيْتاً وَهُوَ لَا يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَعْلَمَ بِهِ أَحَدٌ. وَمَعَ ذَلِكَ، لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ أَنْ يَظَلَّ مُخْتَفِياً.٢٤
25 But a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having had news of him, came straight away and went down at his feet.
فَإِنَّ امْرَأَةً كَانَ بِابْنَتِهَا رُوحٌ نَجِسٌ، مَا إِنْ سَمِعَتْ بِخَبَرِهِ حَتَّى جَاءَتْ وَارْتَمَتْ عَلَى قَدَمَيْهِ،٢٥
26 Now the woman was a Greek, a Syro-phoenician by birth: and she made a request to him that he would send the evil spirit out of her daughter.
وَكَانَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ كَنْعَانِيَّةً، مِنْ أَصْلٍ سُورِيٍّ فِينِيقِيٍّ، وَتَوَسَّلَتْ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يَطْرُدَ الشَّيْطَانَ مِنِ ابْنَتِهَا.٢٦
27 And he said to her, Let the children first have their food: for it is not right to take the children's bread and give it to the dogs.
وَلكِنَّهُ قَالَ لَهَا: «دَعِي الْبَنِينَ أَوَّلاً يَشْبَعُونَ! فَلَيْسَ مِنَ الصَّوَابِ أَنْ يُؤْخَذَ خُبْزُ الْبَنِينَ وَيُطْرَحَ لِلْكِلابِ».٢٧
28 But she said to him in answer, Yes, Lord: even the dogs under the table take the bits dropped by the children.
فَأَجَابَتْ قَائِلَةً لَهُ: «صَحِيحٌ يَا سَيِّدُ! وَلكِنَّ الْكِلابَ تَحْتَ الْمَائِدَةِ تَأْكُلُ مِنْ فُتَاتِ الْبَنِينَ!»٢٨
29 And he said to her, For this saying go your way; the evil spirit has gone out of your daughter.
فَقَالَ لَهَا: «لأَجْلِ هذِهِ الْكَلِمَةِ اذْهَبِي، فَقَدْ خَرَجَ الشَّيْطَانُ مِنِ ابْنَتِكِ!»٢٩
30 And she went away to her house, and saw the child on the bed, and the evil spirit gone out.
فَلَمَّا رَجَعَتْ إِلَى بَيْتِهَا، وَجَدَتِ ابْنَتَهَا عَلَى السَّرِيرِ وَقَدْ خَرَجَ مِنْهَا الشَّيْطَانُ.٣٠
31 And again he went out from Tyre, and came through Sidon to the sea of Galilee, through the country of Decapolis.
ثُمَّ غَادَرَ يَسُوعُ نَوَاحِي صُورَ وَعَادَ إِلَى بُحَيْرَةِ الْجَلِيلِ، مُرُوراً بِصَيْدَا وَعَبْرَ حُدُودِ الْمُدُنِ الْعَشْرِ.٣١
32 And they came to him with one who had no power of hearing and had trouble in talking; and they made a request to him to put his hands on him.
فَأَحْضَرُوا إِلَيْهِ أَصَمَّ مَعْقُودَ اللِّسَانِ، وَتَوَسَّلُوا إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَيْهِ.٣٢
33 And he took him on one side from the people privately, and put his fingers into his ears, and he put water from his mouth on the man's tongue with his finger;
فَانْفَرَدَ بِهِ بَعِيداً عَنِ الْجَمْعِ. وَوَضَعَ إِصْبَعَيْهِ فِي أُذُنَيِ الرَّجُلِ، ثُمَّ تَفَلَ وَلَمَسَ لِسَانَهُ،٣٣
34 And looking up to heaven, he took a deep breath, and said to him, Ephphatha, that is, Be open.
وَرَفَعَ نَظَرَهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ، وَتَنَهَّدَ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «افَّاتَا!» أَيِ انْفَتِحْ.٣٤
35 And his ears became open, and the band of his tongue was made loose, and his words became clear.
وَفِي الْحَالِ انْفَتَحَتْ أُذُنَاهُ وَانْحَلَّتْ عُقْدَةُ لِسَانِهِ، وَتَكَلَّمَ بِطَلاقَةٍ.٣٥
36 And he gave them orders not to give news of it to anyone; but the more he made this request, so much the more they made it public.
وَأَوْصَاهُمْ أَنْ لَا يُخْبِرُوا أَحَداً بِذلِكَ. وَلَكِنْ كُلَّمَا أَوْصَاهُمْ أَكْثَرَ، كَانُوا يُكْثِرُونَ مِنْ إِعْلانِ الْخَبَرِ.٣٦
37 And they were overcome with wonder, saying, He has done all things well: he even gives back the power of hearing and the power of talking to those who have been without them.
وَذُهِلُوا جِدّاً، قَائِلِينَ: «مَا أَرْوَعَ كُلَّ مَا يَفْعَلُ. فَهُوَ يَجْعَلُ الصُّمَّ يَسْمَعُونَ وَالْخُرْسَ يَتَكَلَّمُونَ».٣٧
