< Matthew 17 >

1 And after six days Jesus takes Peter, and James, and his brother John, and brings them up to a high mountain by themselves,
وَبَعْدَ سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ، أَخَذَ يَسُوعُ بُطْرُسَ وَيَعْقُوبَ وَيُوحَنَّا أَخَاهُ، وَصَعِدَ بِهِمْ عَلَى انْفِرَادٍ إِلَى جَبَلٍ عَالٍ،١
2 and He was transfigured before them, and His face shone as the sun, and His garments became white as the light,
وَتَجَلَّى أَمَامَهُمْ، فَشَعَّ وَجْهُهُ كَالشَّمْسِ، وَصَارَتْ ثِيَابُهُ بَيْضَاءَ كَالنُّورِ.٢
3 and behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking together with Him.
وَإذَا مُوسَى وَإِيلِيَّا قَدْ ظَهَرَا لَهُمْ يَتَحَدَّثَانِ مَعَهُ.٣
4 And Peter answering said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good to us to be here; if You will, we may make three shelters here: one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
فَبَدَأَ بُطْرُسُ يَقُولُ لِيَسُوعَ: «يَا رَبُّ، مَا أَحْسَنَ أَنْ نَبْقَى هُنَا! فَإِذَا شِئْتَ، أَنْصُبُ هُنَا ثَلاثَ خِيَامٍ: وَاحِدَةً لَكَ، وَوَاحِدَةً لِمُوسَى، وَوَاحِدَةً لإِيلِيَّا».٤
5 While he is yet speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and behold, a voice out of the cloud, saying, “This is My Son, the Beloved, in whom I delighted; hear Him.”
وَبَيْنَمَا كَانَ يَتَكَلَّمُ، إِذَا سَحَابَةٌ مُنِيرَةٌ قَدْ ظَلَّلَتْهُمْ، وَجَاءَ صَوْتٌ مِنَ السَّحَابَةِ قَائِلاً: «هَذَا هُوَ ابْنِي الْحَبِيبُ الَّذِي سُرِرْتُ بِهِ كُلَّ سُرُورٍ. لَهُ اسْمَعُوا!»٥
6 And the disciples having heard, fell on their face, and were exceedingly afraid,
فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ التَّلامِيذُ الصَّوْتَ، وَقَعُوا عَلَى وُجُوهِهِمْ مُرْتَعِبِينَ جِدّاً.٦
7 and Jesus having come near, touched them, and said, “Rise, do not be afraid,”
فَاقْتَرَبَ مِنْهُمْ يَسُوعُ وَلَمَسَهُمْ وَقَالَ: «انْهَضُوا وَلا تَرْتَعِبُوا!»٧
8 and having lifted up their eyes, they saw no one, except Jesus only.
فَرَفَعُوا أَنْظَارَهُمْ، فَلَمْ يَرَوْا إِلّا يَسُوعَ وَحْدَهُ.٨
9 And as they are coming down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, “Say to no one the vision, until the Son of Man may rise out of the dead.”
وَفِيمَا هُمْ نَازِلُونَ مِنَ الْجَبَلِ، أَوْصَاهُمْ يَسُوعُ قَائِلاً: «لا تُخْبِرُوا أَحَداً بِمَا رَأَيْتُمْ حَتَّى يَقُومَ ابْنُ الإِنْسَانِ مِنْ بَيْنِ الأَمْوَاتِ».٩
10 And His disciples questioned Him, saying, “Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
فَسَأَلَهُ تَلامِيذُهُ: «لِمَاذَا إِذَنْ يَقُولُ الْكَتَبَةُ إِنَّ إِيلِيَّا لابُدَّ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ أَوَّلاً؟»١٠
11 And Jesus answering said to them, “Elijah does indeed come first, and will restore all things,
فَأَجَابَهُمْ قَائِلاً: «حَقّاً، إِنَّ إِيلِيَّا يَأْتِي أَوَّلاً وَيُصْلِحُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ.١١
12 and I say to you, Elijah already came, and they did not know him, but did with him whatever they would, so also the Son of Man is about to suffer by them.”
عَلَى أَنِّي أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: قَدْ جَاءَ إِيلِيَّا، وَلَمْ يَعْرِفُوهُ، بَلْ فَعَلُوا بِهِ كُلَّ مَا شَاءُوا. كَذَلِكَ ابْنُ الإِنْسَانِ أَيْضاً عَلَى وَشْكِ أَنْ يَتَأَلَّمَ عَلَى أَيْدِيهِمْ».١٢
13 Then the disciples understood that He spoke to them concerning John the Immerser.
عِنْدَئِذٍ فَهِمَ التَّلامِيذُ أَنَّهُ كَلَّمَهُمْ عَنْ يُوحَنَّا الْمَعْمَدَانِ.١٣
14 And when they came to the multitude, there came to Him a man, kneeling down to Him,
وَلَمَّا وَصَلُوا إِلَى الْجَمْعِ، تَقَدَّمَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى يَسُوعَ، وَجَثَا أَمَامَهُ،١٤
15 and saying, “Lord, deal kindly with my son, for he is [a] lunatic, and suffers miserably, for he often falls into the fire, and often into the water,
وَقَالَ: «يَا سَيِّدُ، ارْحَمِ ابْنِي لأَنَّهُ مُصَابٌ بِالصَّرْعِ، وَهُوَ يَتَعَذَّبُ عَذَاباً شَدِيداً. وَكَثِيراً مَا يَسْقُطُ فِي النَّارِ أَوْ فِي الْمَاءِ.١٥
16 and I brought him near to Your disciples, and they were not able to heal him.”
وَقَدْ أَحْضَرْتُهُ إِلَى تَلامِيذِكَ، فَلَمْ يَسْتَطِيعُوا أَنْ يَشْفُوهُ».١٦
17 And Jesus answering said, “O generation, unsteadfast and perverse, until when will I be with you? Until when will I bear you? Bring him to Me here”;
فَأَجَابَ يَسُوعُ قَائِلاً: «أَيُّهَا الْجِيلُ غَيْرُ الْمُؤْمِنِ وَالأَعْوَجُ، إِلَى مَتَى أَبْقَى مَعَكُمْ؟ إِلَى مَتَى أَحْتَمِلُكُمْ؟ أَحْضِرُوهُ إِلَيَّ هُنَا!»١٧
18 and Jesus rebuked him, and the demon went out of him, and the boy was healed from that hour.
وَزَجَرَ يَسُوعُ الشَّيْطَانَ، فَخَرَجَ مِنَ الصَّبِيِّ، وَشُفِيَ الصَّبِيُّ مِنْ تِلْكَ السَّاعَةِ.١٨
19 Then the disciples having come to Jesus by Himself, said, “Why were we not able to cast him out?”
ثُمَّ تَقَدَّمَ التَّلامِيذُ إِلَى يَسُوعَ عَلَى انْفِرَادٍ وَسَأَلُوهُ: «لِمَاذَا عَجَزْنَا نَحْنُ أَنْ نَطْرُدَ الشَّيْطَانَ؟»١٩
20 And Jesus said to them, “Through your want of faith; for truly I say to you, if you may have faith as a grain of mustard, you will say to this mountain, Move from here to there, and it will move, and nothing will be impossible to you,
أَجَابَهُمْ: «لِقِلَّةِ إِيمَانِكُمْ. فَالْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: لَوْ كَانَ لَكُمْ إِيمَانٌ مِثْلُ بِزْرَةِ خَرْدَلٍ، لَكُنْتُمْ تَقُولُونَ لِهَذَا الْجَبَلِ: اِنْتَقِلْ مِنْ هُنَا إِلَى هُنَاكَ، فَيَنْتَقِلُ، وَلا يَسْتَحِيلُ عَلَيْكُمْ شَيْءٌ.٢٠
21 [[and this kind does not go forth except in prayer and fasting.”]]
أَمَّا هَذَا النَّوْعُ مِنَ الشَّيَاطِينِ، فَلا يُطْرَدُ إِلّا بِالصَّاللاةِ وَالصَّوْمِ».٢١
22 And while they are living in Galilee, Jesus said to them, “The Son of Man is about to be delivered up into the hands of men,
وَفِيمَا كَانُوا يَتَجَمَّعُونَ فِي الْجَلِيلِ، قَالَ يَسُوعُ لِتَلامِيذِهِ: «اِبْنُ الإِنْسَانِ عَلَى وَشْكِ أَنْ يُسَلَّمَ إِلَى أَيْدِي النَّاسِ،٢٢
23 and they will kill Him, and the third day He will rise,” and they were exceedingly sorry.
فَيَقْتُلُونَهُ. وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ يُقَامُ». فَحَزِنُوا حُزْناً شَدِيداً.٢٣
24 And they having come to Capernaum, those receiving the didrachmas came near to Peter and said, “Your teacher—does He not pay the didrachmas?” He says, “Yes.”
وَلَمَّا وَصَلُوا إِلَى كَفْرَنَاحُومَ، جَاءَ جُبَاةُ ضَرِيبَةِ الدِّرْهَمَيْنِ لِلْهَيْكَلِ إِلَى بُطْرُسَ، وَقَالُوا: «أَلا يُؤَدِّي مُعَلِّمُكُمُ الدِّرْهَمَيْنِ؟» فَأَجَابَ: «بَلَى!»٢٤
25 And when he came into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, “What do you think, Simon? The kings of the earth—from whom do they receive custom or poll-tax? From their sons or from the strangers?”
وَمَا إِنْ دَخَلَ بُطْرُسُ الْبَيْتَ، حَتَّى سَأَلَهُ يَسُوعُ: «مَا رَأْيُكَ يَا سِمْعَانُ: مِمَّنْ يَسْتَوْفِي مُلُوكُ الأَرْضِ الْجِزْيَةَ أَوِ الضَّرِيبَةَ؟ أَمِنْ أَبْنَاءِ بِلادِهِمْ، أَمْ مِنَ الأَجَانِبِ؟»٢٥
26 Peter says to Him, “From the strangers.” Jesus said to him, “Then the sons are free;
أَجَابَ بُطْرُسُ: «مِنَ الأَجَانِبِ». فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «إِذَنِ الأَبْنَاءُ أَحْرَارٌ،٢٦
27 but that we may not cause them to stumble, having gone to the sea, cast a hook, and the fish that has come up first take up, and having opened its mouth, you will find a stater, that having taken, give to them for Me and you.”
وَلكِنْ لِكَيْ لَا نَضَعَ لَهُمْ عَثْرَةً، اذْهَبْ إِلَى الْبُحَيْرَةِ، وَأَلْقِ صِنَّارَةَ الصَّيْدِ؛ وَأَمْسِكِ السَّمَكَةَ الَّتِي تَطْلُعُ أَوَّلاً، ثُمَّ افْتَحْ فَمَهَا تَجِدْ فِيهِ قِطْعَةَ نَقْدٍ بِقِيمَةِ أَرْبَعَةِ دَرَاهِمَ، فَخُذْهَا وَادْفَعْ الضَّرِيبَةَ عَنِّي وَعَنْكَ!»٢٧
