Matthew 15
1 Then they come to Jesus from Jerusalem—scribes and Pharisees—saying,
| وَتَقَدَّمَ إِلَى يَسُوعَ بَعْضُ الْكَتَبَةِ وَالْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَسَأَلُوهُ: | ١ |
2 “Why do Your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they may eat bread.”
| «لِمَاذَا يُخَالِفُ تَلامِيذُكَ تَقَالِيدَ الشُّيُوخِ، فَلا يَغْسِلُونَ أَيْدِيَهُمْ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَأْكُلُوا؟» | ٢ |
3 And He answering said to them, “Why also do you transgress the command of God because of your tradition?
| فَأَجَابَهُمْ «وَلِمَاذَا تُخَالِفُونَ أَنْتُمْ وَصِيَّةَ اللهِ مِنْ أَجْلِ الْمُحَافَظَةِ عَلَى تَقَالِيدِكُمْ؟ | ٣ |
4 For God commanded, saying, Honor your father and mother; and, He who is speaking evil of father or mother—let him die the death;
| فَقَدْ أَوْصَى اللهُ قَائِلاً: أَكْرِمْ أَبَاكَ وَأُمَّكَ. وَمَنْ أَهَانَ أَبَاهُ أَوْ أُمَّهُ، فَلْيَكُنِ الْمَوْتُ عِقَاباً لَهُ. | ٤ |
5 but you say, Whoever may say to father or mother, An offering [is] whatever you may be profited by me—
| وَلَكِنَّكُمْ أَنْتُمْ تَقُولُونَ: مَنْ قَالَ لأَبِيهِ أَوْ أُمِّهِ: إِنَّ مَا أَعُولُكَ بِهِ قَدْ قَدَّمْتُهُ قُرْبَاناً لِلْهَيْكَلِ، | ٥ |
6 and he may not honor his father or his mother, and you set aside the command of God because of your tradition.
| فَهُوَ فِي حِلٍّ مِنْ إِكْرَامِ أَبِيهِ وَأُمِّهِ. وَأَنْتُمْ، بِهَذَا، تُلْغُونَ مَا أَوْصَى بِهِ اللهُ، مُحَافَظَةً عَلَى تَقَالِيدِكُمْ. | ٦ |
7 Hypocrites, Isaiah prophesied well of you, saying,
| أَيُّهَا الْمُنَافِقُونَ! أَحْسَنَ إِشَعْيَاءُ إِذْ تَنَبَّأَ عَنْكُمْ فَقَالَ: | ٧ |
8 This people draws near to Me with their mouth, and with the lips it honors Me, but their heart is far off from Me;
| هَذَا الشَّعْبُ يُكْرِمُنِي بِشَفَتَيْهِ، أَمَّا قَلْبُهُ فَبَعِيدٌ عَنِّي جِدّاً! | ٨ |
9 and in vain they worship Me, teaching teachings—commands of men.”
| إِنَّمَا بَاطِلاً يَعْبُدُونَنِي وَهُمْ يُعَلِّمُونَ تَعَالِيمَ لَيْسَتْ إِلّا وَصَايَا النَّاسِ». | ٩ |
10 And having called near the multitude, He said to them, “Hear and understand:
| ثُمَّ دَعَا الْجَمْعَ إِلَيْهِ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «اِسْمَعُوا وَافْهَمُوا: | ١٠ |
11 [it is] not that which is coming into the mouth [that] defiles the man, but that which is coming forth from the mouth, this defiles the man.”
| لَيْسَ مَا يَدْخُلُ الْفَمَ يُنَجِّسُ الإِنْسَانَ، بَلْ مَا يَخْرُجُ مِنَ الْفَمِ هُوَ الَّذِي يُنَجِّسُ الإِنْسَانَ». | ١١ |
12 Then His disciples having come near, said to Him, “Have You known that the Pharisees, having heard the word, were stumbled?”
| فَتَقَدَّمَ إِلَيْهِ تَلامِيذُهُ وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «أَتَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا الْقَوْلَ قَدْ أَثَارَ غَيْظَ الْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ؟» | ١٢ |
13 And He answering said, “Every plant that My heavenly Father did not plant will be rooted up;
| فَأَجَابَهُمْ: «كُلُّ نَبَاتٍ لَمْ يَزْرَعْهُ أَبِي السَّمَاوِيُّ، لابُدَّ أَنْ يُقْلَعَ. | ١٣ |
14 leave them alone, they are guides—blind of blind; and if blind may guide blind, both will fall into a ditch.”
| دَعُوهُمْ وَشَأْنَهُمْ، فَهُمْ عُمْيَانٌ يَقُودُونَ عُمْيَاناً. وَإذَا كَانَ الأَعْمَى يَقُودُ أَعْمَى، يَسْقُطَانِ مَعاً فِي حُفْرَةٍ». | ١٤ |
15 And Peter answering said to Him, “Explain to us this allegory.”
| وَقَالَ لَهُ بُطْرُسُ: «فَسِّرْ لَنَا ذَاكَ الْمَثَلَ!» | ١٥ |
16 And Jesus said, “Are you also yet without understanding?
| فَأَجَابَ: «وَهَلْ أَنْتُمْ أَيْضاً بِلا فَهْمٍ؟ | ١٦ |
17 Do you not understand that all that is going into the mouth passes into the belly, and is cast forth into the drain?
| أَلا تُدْرِكُونَ بَعْدُ أَنَّ الطَّعَامَ الَّذِي يَدْخُلُ الْفَمَ يَنْزِلُ إِلَى الْبَطْنِ، ثُمَّ يُطْرَحُ إِلَى الْخَلاءِ؟ | ١٧ |
18 But the things coming forth from the mouth come forth from the heart, and these defile the man;
| أَمَّا مَا يَخْرُجُ مِنَ الْفَمِ، فَإِنَّهُ مِنَ الْقَلْبِ يَصْدُرُ، وَهُوَ الَّذِي يُنَجِّسُ الإِنْسَانَ. | ١٨ |
19 for out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, whoredoms, thefts, false witnessings, slanders:
| فَمِنَ الْقَلْبِ تَنْبُعُ الأَفْكَارُ الشِّرِّيرَةُ، الْقَتْلُ، الزِّنَى، الْفِسْقُ، السَّرِقَةُ، شَهَادَةُ الزُّورِ، الازْدِرَاءُ. | ١٩ |
20 these are the things defiling the man; but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile the man.”
| هَذِهِ هِيَ الأُمُورُ الَّتِي تُنَجِّسُ الإِنْسَانَ. وَأَمَّا تَنَاوُلُ الطَّعَامِ بِأَيْدٍ غَيْرِ مَغْسُولَةٍ، فَلا يُنَجِّسُ الإِنْسَانَ!» | ٢٠ |
21 And Jesus having come forth from there, withdrew to the parts of Tyre and Sidon,
| ثُمَّ غَادَرَ يَسُوعُ تِلْكَ الْمِنْطَقَةَ، وَذَهَبَ إِلَى نَوَاحِي صُورَ وَصَيْدَا. | ٢١ |
22 and behold, a woman, a Canaanite, having come forth from those borders, called to Him, saying, “Deal kindly with me, Lord, Son of David; my daughter is miserably demonized.”
| فَإِذَا امْرَأَةٌ كَنْعَانِيَّةٌ مِنْ تِلْكَ النَّوَاحِي، قَدْ تَقَدَّمَتْ إِلَيْهِ صَارِخَةً: «ارْحَمْنِي يَا سَيِّدُ، يَا ابْنَ دَاوُدَ! اِبْنَتِي مُعَذَّبَةٌ جِدّاً، يَسْكُنُهَا شَيْطَانٌ». | ٢٢ |
23 And He did not answer her a word; and His disciples having come to Him, were asking Him, saying, “Let her away, because she cries after us”;
| لكِنَّهُ لَمْ يُجِبْهَا بِكَلِمَةٍ. فَجَاءَ تَلامِيذُهُ يُلِحُّونَ عَلَيْهِ قَائِلِينَ: «اصْرِفْهَا عَنَّا. فَهِيَ تَصْرُخُ وَرَاءنَا!» | ٢٣ |
24 and He answering said, “I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
| فَأَجَابَ: «مَا أُرْسِلْتُ إِلّا إِلَى الْخِرَافِ الضَّالَّةِ، إِلَى بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ!» | ٢٤ |
25 And having come, she was worshiping Him, saying, “Lord, help me”;
| وَلكِنَّ الْمَرْأَةَ اقْتَرَبَتْ إِلَيْهِ، وَسَجَدَتْ لَهُ، وَقَالَتْ: «أَعِنِّي يَا سَيِّدُ!» | ٢٥ |
26 and He answering said, “It is not good to take the children’s bread, and to cast to the little dogs.”
| فَأَجَابَ: «لَيْسَ مِنَ الصَّوَابِ أَنْ يُؤْخَذَ خُبْزُ الْبَنِينَ وَيُطْرَحَ لِلْكِلابِ!» | ٢٦ |
27 And she said, “Yes, Lord, for even the little dogs eat of the crumbs that are falling from their lords’ table”;
| فَقَالَتْ: «صَحِيحٌ يَا سَيِّدُ؛ وَلكِنَّ جِرَاءَ الْكِلابِ تَأْكُلُ مِنَ الْفُتَاتِ الَّذِي يَسْقُطُ مِنْ مَوَائِدِ أَصْحَابِهَا!» | ٢٧ |
28 then answering, Jesus said to her, “O woman, great [is] your faith, let it be to you as you will”; and her daughter was healed from that hour.
| فَأَجَابَهَا يَسُوعُ: «أَيَّتُهَا الْمَرْأَةُ، عَظِيمٌ إِيمَانُكِ! فَلْيَكُنْ لَكِ مَا تَطْلُبِينَ!» فَشُفِيَتِ ابْنَتُهَا مِنْ تِلْكَ السَّاعَةِ. | ٢٨ |
29 And having departed from there, Jesus came near to the Sea of Galilee, and having gone up to the mountain, He was sitting there,
| ثُمَّ انْتَقَلَ يَسُوعُ مِنْ تِلْكَ الْمِنْطَقَةِ، مُتَّجِهاً إِلَى بُحَيْرَةِ الْجَلِيلِ. فَصَعِدَ إِلَى الْجَبَلِ وَجَلَسَ هُنَاكَ. | ٢٩ |
30 and there came to Him great multitudes, having with them lame, blind, mute, maimed, and many others, and they cast them at the feet of Jesus, and He healed them,
| فَجَاءتْ إِلَيْهِ جُمُوعٌ كَثِيرَةٌ وَمَعَهُمْ عُرْجٌ وَمَشْلُولُونَ وَعُمْيٌ وَخُرْسٌ وَغَيْرُهُمْ كَثِيرُونَ، وَطَرَحُوهُمْ عِنْدَ قَدَمَيْهِ، فَشَفَاهُمْ. | ٣٠ |
31 so that the multitudes wondered, seeing mute ones speaking, maimed whole, lame walking, and blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel.
| فَدُهِشَتِ الْجُمُوعُ إِذْ رَأَوْا الْخُرْسَ يَنْطِقُونَ، وَالْمَشْلُولِينَ أَصِحَّاءَ، وَالْعُرْجَ يَمْشُونَ، وَالْعُمْيَ يُبْصِرُونَ؛ وَمَجَّدُوا إِلهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٣١ |
32 And Jesus having called near His disciples, said, “I have compassion on the multitude, because now three days they continue with Me, and they do not have what they may eat; and to let them away fasting I will not, lest they faint in the way.”
| وَلكِنَّ يَسُوعَ دَعَا تَلامِيذَهُ إِلَيْهِ وَقَالَ: «إِنِّي أُشْفِقُ عَلَى الْجَمْعِ لأَنَّهُمْ مَازَالُوا مَعِي مُنْذُ ثَلاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ وَلَيْسَ عِنْدَهُمْ مَا يَأْكُلُونَهُ. وَلا أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَصْرِفَهُمْ صَائِمِينَ لِئَلّا يُصِيبُهُمْ الإعْيَاءُ فِي الطَّرِيقِ». | ٣٢ |
33 And His disciples say to Him, “From where to us in a wilderness [will we get] so many loaves, as to fill so great a multitude?”
| فَقَالَ التَّلامِيذُ: «مِنْ أَيْنَ لَنَا فِي هَذِهِ الْبَرِّيَّةِ خُبْزٌ كَثِيرٌ حَتَّى يَكْفِيَ هَذَا الْجَمْعَ الْكَثِيرَ؟» | ٣٣ |
34 And Jesus says to them, “How many loaves do you have?” And they said, “Seven, and a few little fishes.”
| فَسَأَلَهُمْ: «كَمْ رَغِيفاً عِنْدَكُمْ؟» أَجَابُوا: «سَبْعَةٌ وَبَعْضُ سَمَكَاتٍ صِغَارٍ!» | ٣٤ |
35 And He commanded the multitudes to sit down on the ground,
| فَأَمَرَ الْجَمْعَ أَنْ يَجْلِسُوا عَلَى الأَرْضِ، | ٣٥ |
36 and having taken the seven loaves and the fishes, having given thanks, He broke, and gave to His disciples, and the disciples [gave] to the multitude.
| ثُمَّ أَخَذَ الأَرْغِفَةَ السَّبْعَةَ وَالسَّمَكَاتِ، وَشَكَرَ وَكَسَّرَ، وَأَعْطَى التَّلامِيذَ، فَوَزَّعُوهَا عَلَى الْجُمُوعِ. | ٣٦ |
37 And they all ate, and were filled, and they took up what was over of the broken pieces seven baskets full,
| فَأَكَلَ الْجَمِيعُ حَتَّى شَبِعُوا. ثُمَّ رَفَعَ التَّلامِيذُ سَبْعَةَ سِلالٍ مَلأُوهَا بِمَا فَضَلَ مِنَ الْكِسَرِ. | ٣٧ |
38 and those eating were four thousand men, apart from women and children.
| وَكَانَ عَدَدُ الآكِلِينَ أَرْبَعَةَ آلافِ رَجُلٍ، مَاعَدَا النِّسَاءَ وَالأَوْلادَ. | ٣٨ |
39 And having let away the multitudes, He went into the boat, and came to the borders of Magdala.
| ثُمَّ صَرَفَ يَسُوعُ الْجُمُوعَ، وَرَكِبَ الْقَارِبَ، وَجَاءَ إِلَى نَوَاحِي مَجَدَانَ. | ٣٩ |
