Matthew 12
1 At that time, Jesus went on the Sabbath day through the grain fields. His disciples were hungry and began to pluck heads of grain and to eat.
| ܒܗܘ ܙܒܢܐ ܡܗܠܟ ܗܘܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܫܒܬܐ ܒܝܬ ܙܪܥܐ ܘܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܟܦܢܘ ܘܫܪܝܘ ܡܠܓܝܢ ܫܒܠܐ ܘܐܟܠܝܢ |
2 But the Pharisees, when they saw it, said to him, "Look, your disciples do what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath."
| ܦܪܝܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܚܙܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܗܐ ܬܠܡܝܕܝܟ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܡܕܡ ܕܠܐ ܫܠܝܛ ܠܡܥܒܕ ܒܫܒܬܐ |
3 But he said to them, "Have you not read what David did, when he and his companions were hungry;
| ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܩܪܝܬܘܢ ܡܢܐ ܥܒܕ ܕܘܝܕ ܟܕ ܟܦܢ ܘܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܥܡܗ |
4 how he entered into the house of God, and they ate the show bread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for those who were with him, but only for the priests?
| ܐܝܟܢܐ ܥܠ ܠܒܝܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܠܚܡܐ ܕܦܬܘܪܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܐܟܠ ܗܘ ܕܠܐ ܫܠܝܛ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܠܡܐܟܠ ܘܠܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܥܡܗ ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܠܟܗܢܐ ܒܠܚܘܕ |
5 Or have you not read in the Law, that on the Sabbath day the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath and are blameless?
| ܐܘ ܠܐ ܩܪܝܬܘܢ ܒܐܘܪܝܬܐ ܕܟܗܢܐ ܒܗܝܟܠܐ ܡܚܠܝܢ ܠܗ ܠܫܒܬܐ ܘܕܠܐ ܥܕܠܝ ܐܢܘܢ |
6 But I tell you that something greater than the temple is here.
| ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܪܒ ܡܢ ܗܝܟܠܐ ܐܝܬ ܗܪܟܐ |
7 But if you had known what this means, 'I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,' you would not have condemned the innocent.
| ܐܠܘ ܕܝܢ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܡܢܘ ܚܢܢܐ ܨܒܐ ܐܢܐ ܘܠܐ ܕܒܚܬܐ ܠܐ ܡܚܝܒܝܢ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܕܠܐ ܥܕܠܝ ܐܢܘܢ |
8 For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath."
| ܡܪܗ ܓܝܪ ܕܫܒܬܐ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ |
9 And he departed from there and went into their synagogue.
| ܘܫܢܝ ܡܢ ܬܡܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܬܐ ܠܟܢܘܫܬܗܘܢ |
10 And look, there was a man with a withered hand. They asked him, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath day?" that they might accuse him.
| ܘܓܒܪܐ ܚܕ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܬܡܢ ܕܝܒܝܫܐ ܐܝܕܗ ܘܡܫܐܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܕܐܢ ܫܠܝܛ ܒܫܒܬܐ ܠܡܐܤܝܘ ܐܝܟ ܕܢܐܟܠܘܢ ܩܪܨܘܗܝ |
11 And he said to them, "Which one of you who has one sheep, if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will not take hold of it and lift it out?
| ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܢܘ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܓܒܪܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܥܪܒܐ ܚܕ ܘܐܢ ܢܦܠ ܒܚܒܪܐ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܕܫܒܬܐ ܠܐ ܐܚܕ ܘܡܩܝܡ ܠܗ |
12 Of how much more value then is a person than a sheep. Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath."
| ܟܡܐ ܕܝܢ ܝܬܝܪ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܡܢ ܥܪܒܐ ܡܕܝܢ ܫܠܝܛ ܗܘ ܒܫܒܬܐ ܠܡܥܒܕ ܕܫܦܝܪ |
13 Then he told the man, "Stretch out your hand." And he stretched it out, and it was restored whole, just like the other.
| ܗܝܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘ ܓܒܪܐ ܦܫܘܛ ܐܝܕܟ ܘܦܫܛ ܐܝܕܗ ܘܬܩܢܬ ܐܝܟ ܚܒܪܬܗ |
14 But the Pharisees went out, and conspired against him, how they might destroy him.
| ܘܢܦܩܘ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܘܡܠܟܐ ܢܤܒܘ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܐܝܟ ܕܢܘܒܕܘܢܝܗܝ |
15 But Jesus, perceiving that, withdrew from there. Large crowds followed him, and he healed them all,
| ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܝܕܥ ܘܫܢܝ ܠܗ ܡܢ ܬܡܢ ܘܐܙܠܘ ܒܬܪܗ ܟܢܫܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܘܐܤܝ ܠܟܠܗܘܢ |
16 and commanded them that they should not make him known.
| ܘܟܐܐ ܒܗܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܢܓܠܘܢܝܗܝ |
17 This was to fulfill what had been spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,
| ܕܢܬܡܠܐ ܡܕܡ ܕܐܬܐܡܪ ܒܝܕ ܐܫܥܝܐ ܢܒܝܐ ܕܐܡܪ |
18 "Look, my servant whom I have chosen; my beloved in whom my soul delights. I will put my Spirit on him; and he will proclaim justice to the nations.
| ܗܐ ܥܒܕܝ ܕܐܨܛܒܝܬ ܒܗ ܚܒܝܒܝ ܕܤܘܚܬ ܒܗ ܢܦܫܝ ܪܘܚܝ ܐܤܝܡ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܘܕܝܢܐ ܠܥܡܡܐ ܢܟܪܙ |
19 He will not quarrel, nor shout; nor will anyone hear his voice in the streets.
| ܠܐ ܢܬܚܪܐ ܘܠܐ ܢܩܥܐ ܘܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܢܫܡܥ ܩܠܗ ܒܫܘܩܐ |
20 He won't break a bruised reed. And he won't put out a smoldering wick, until he leads justice to victory.
| ܩܢܝܐ ܪܥܝܥܐ ܠܐ ܢܬܒܪ ܘܫܪܓܐ ܕܡܛܦܛܦ ܠܐ ܢܕܥܟ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܢܦܩ ܕܝܢܐ ܠܙܟܘܬܐ |
21 And in his name the coastlands will hope."
| ܘܒܫܡܗ ܥܡܡܐ ܢܤܒܪܘܢ |
22 Then one possessed by a demon, blind and mute, was brought to him and he healed him, so that the mute man spoke and saw.
| ܗܝܕܝܢ ܩܪܒܘ ܠܗ ܕܝܘܢܐ ܚܕ ܕܚܪܫ ܘܥܘܝܪ ܘܐܤܝܗ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܚܪܫܐ ܘܤܡܝܐ ܢܡܠܠ ܘܢܚܙܐ |
23 And all the crowds were amazed, and said, "Can this be the son of David?"
| ܘܡܬܕܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܟܢܫܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܕܠܡܐ ܗܢܘ ܒܪܗ ܕܕܘܝܕ |
24 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, "This man does not cast out demons, except by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons."
| ܦܪܝܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܫܡܥܘ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܢܐ ܠܐ ܡܦܩ ܫܐܕܐ ܐܠܐ ܒܒܥܠܙܒܘܒ ܪܫܐ ܕܕܝܘܐ |
25 And knowing their thoughts, he said to them, "Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand.
| ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܝܕܥ ܡܚܫܒܬܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܟܠ ܡܠܟܘ ܕܬܬܦܠܓ ܥܠ ܢܦܫܗ ܬܚܪܒ ܘܟܠ ܒܝ ܘܡܕܝܢܐ ܕܢܬܦܠܓ ܥܠ ܢܦܫܗ ܠܐ ܢܩܘܡ |
26 And if Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand?
| ܘܐܢ ܤܛܢܐ ܠܤܛܢܐ ܡܦܩ ܥܠ ܢܦܫܗ ܐܬܦܠܓ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܩܝܡܐ ܡܠܟܘܬܗ |
27 If I by Beelzebul cast out demons, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.
| ܘܐܢ ܐܢܐ ܒܒܥܠܙܒܘܒ ܡܦܩ ܐܢܐ ܕܝܘܐ ܒܢܝܟܘܢ ܒܡܢܐ ܡܦܩܝܢ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܢܗܘܘܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܝܢܐ |
28 But if I by the Spirit of God cast out demons, then the Kingdom of God has come upon you.
| ܘܐܢ ܒܪܘܚܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܦܩ ܐܢܐ ܕܝܘܐ ܩܪܒܬ ܠܗ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ |
29 Or how can one enter into the house of the strong man, and carry off his possessions, unless he first bind the strong man? And then he will plunder his house.
| ܐܘ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܐܢܫ ܡܫܟܚ ܕܢܥܘܠ ܠܒܝܬ ܚܤܝܢܐ ܘܡܐܢܘܗܝ ܢܒܘܙ ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܠܘܩܕܡ ܢܐܤܪܝܘܗܝ ܠܚܤܝܢܐ ܘܗܝܕܝܢ ܒܝܬܗ ܢܒܘܙ |
30 "He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me, scatters.
| ܡܢ ܕܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܥܡܝ ܠܘܩܒܠܝ ܗܘ ܘܡܢ ܕܠܐ ܟܢܫ ܥܡܝ ܡܒܕܪܘ ܡܒܕܪ |
31 Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven people, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.
| ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܟܠ ܚܛܗܝܢ ܘܓܘܕܦܝܢ ܢܫܬܒܩܘܢ ܠܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܓܘܕܦܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܥܠ ܪܘܚܐ ܠܐ ܢܫܬܒܩ ܠܒܢܝܢܫܐ |
32 And whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, neither in this age, nor in that which is to come. (aiōn g165)
| ܘܟܠ ܡܢ ܕܢܐܡܪ ܡܠܬܐ ܥܠ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܢܫܬܒܩ ܠܗ ܟܠ ܕܝܢ ܕܥܠ ܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ ܢܐܡܪ ܠܐ ܢܫܬܒܩ ܠܗ ܠܐ ܒܥܠܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܘܠܐ ܒܥܠܡܐ ܕܥܬܝܕ (aiōn g165) |
33 "Either make the tree good, and its fruit good, or make the tree corrupt, and its fruit corrupt; for the tree is known by its fruit.
| ܐܘ ܥܒܕܘ ܐܝܠܢܐ ܫܦܝܪܐ ܘܦܐܪܘܗܝ ܫܦܝܪܐ ܐܘ ܥܒܕܘ ܐܝܠܢܐ ܒܝܫܐ ܘܦܐܪܘܗܝ ܒܝܫܐ ܡܢ ܦܐܪܘܗܝ ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܡܬܝܕܥ ܐܝܠܢܐ |
34 You offspring of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.
| ܝܠܕܐ ܕܐܟܕܢܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܛܒܬܐ ܠܡܡܠܠܘ ܕܒܝܫܐ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܢ ܬܘܬܪܝ ܠܒܐ ܓܝܪ ܡܡܠܠ ܦܘܡܐ |
35 The good person out of his good treasure brings out good things, and the evil person out of his evil treasure brings out evil things.
| ܓܒܪܐ ܛܒܐ ܡܢ ܤܝܡܬܐ ܛܒܬܐ ܡܦܩ ܛܒܬܐ ܘܓܒܪܐ ܒܝܫܐ ܡܢ ܤܝܡܬܐ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܡܦܩ ܒܝܫܬܐ |
36 But I tell you that every careless word that people speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.
| ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܕܟܠ ܡܠܐ ܒܛܠܐ ܕܢܐܡܪܘܢ ܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܢܬܠܘܢ ܦܬܓܡܗ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܕܕܝܢܐ |
37 For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned."
| ܡܢ ܡܠܝܟ ܓܝܪ ܬܙܕܕܩ ܘܡܢ ܡܠܝܟ ܬܬܚܝܒ |
38 Then certain of the scribes and Pharisees said to him, "Teacher, we want to see a sign from you."
| ܗܝܕܝܢ ܥܢܘ ܐܢܫܐ ܡܢ ܤܦܪܐ ܘܡܢ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܡܠܦܢܐ ܨܒܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܕܢܚܙܐ ܡܢܟ ܐܬܐ |
39 But he answered and said to them, "An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, but no sign will be given it but the sign of Jonah the prophet.
| ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܥܢܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܫܪܒܬܐ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܘܓܝܪܬܐ ܐܬܐ ܒܥܝܐ ܘܐܬܐ ܠܐ ܬܬܝܗܒ ܠܗ ܐܠܐ ܐܬܗ ܕܝܘܢܢ ܢܒܝܐ |
40 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
| ܐܝܟܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܗܘܐ ܝܘܢܢ ܒܟܪܤܗ ܕܢܘܢܐ ܬܠܬܐ ܝܘܡܝܢ ܘܬܠܬܐ ܠܝܠܘܢ ܗܟܢܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܒܠܒܗ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܬܠܬܐ ܐܝܡܡܝܢ ܘܬܠܬܐ ܠܝܠܘܢ |
41 The people of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and look, something greater than Jonah is here.
| ܓܒܪܐ ܢܝܢܘܝܐ ܢܩܘܡܘܢ ܒܕܝܢܐ ܥܡ ܫܪܒܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܘܢܚܝܒܘܢܗ ܕܗܢܘܢ ܬܒܘ ܒܟܪܘܙܘܬܗ ܕܝܘܢܢ ܘܗܐ ܕܪܒ ܡܢ ܝܘܢܢ ܬܢܢ |
42 The queen of the south will rise up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it, for she came from a distant land to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and look, someone greater than Solomon is here.
| ܡܠܟܬܐ ܕܬܝܡܢܐ ܬܩܘܡ ܒܕܝܢܐ ܥܡ ܫܪܒܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܘܬܚܝܒܝܗ ܕܐܬܬ ܡܢ ܥܒܪܝܗ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܕܬܫܡܥ ܚܟܡܬܗ ܕܫܠܝܡܘܢ ܘܗܐ ܕܝܬܝܪ ܡܢ ܫܠܝܡܘܢ ܗܪܟܐ |
43 But the unclean spirit, when he is gone out of the person, passes through waterless places, seeking rest, and does not find it.
| ܐܡܬܝ ܕܝܢ ܕܪܘܚܐ ܛܢܦܬܐ ܬܦܘܩ ܡܢ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܡܬܟܪܟܐ ܒܐܬܪܘܬܐ ܕܡܝܐ ܠܝܬ ܒܗܘܢ ܘܒܥܝܐ ܢܝܚܐ ܘܠܐ ܡܫܟܚܐ |
44 Then he says, 'I will return into my house from which I came out,' and when he has come back, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order.
| ܗܝܕܝܢ ܐܡܪܐ ܐܗܦܘܟ ܠܒܝܬܝ ܡܢ ܐܝܟܐ ܕܢܦܩܬ ܘܐܬܝܐ ܡܫܟܚܐ ܕܤܪܝܩ ܘܚܡܝܡ ܘܡܨܒܬ |
45 Then he goes, and takes with himself seven other spirits more evil than he is, and they enter in and dwell there. The last state of that person becomes worse than the first. Even so will it be also to this evil generation."
| ܗܝܕܝܢ ܐܙܠܐ ܕܒܪܐ ܥܡܗ ܫܒܥ ܪܘܚܐ ܐܚܪܢܝܢ ܕܡܢܗ ܒܝܫܢ ܘܥܐܠܢ ܘܥܡܪܢ ܒܗ ܘܗܘܝܐ ܚܪܬܗ ܕܓܒܪܐ ܗܘ ܒܝܫܐ ܡܢ ܩܕܡܝܬܗ ܗܟܢܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܠܫܪܒܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܒܝܫܬܐ |
46 While he was yet speaking to the crowds, look, his mother and his brothers stood outside, seeking to speak to him.
| ܟܕ ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܡܡܠܠ ܠܟܢܫܐ ܐܬܘ ܐܡܗ ܘܐܚܘܗܝ ܩܝܡܝܢ ܠܒܪ ܘܒܥܝܢ ܕܢܡܠܠܘܢ ܥܡܗ |
47 Then one said to him, "Look, your mother and your brothers stand outside, seeking to speak to you."
| ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܕܝܢ ܐܢܫ ܗܐ ܐܡܟ ܘܐܚܝܟ ܩܝܡܝܢ ܠܒܪ ܘܒܥܝܢ ܕܢܡܠܠܘܢ ܥܡܟ |
48 But he answered him who spoke to him, "Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?"
| ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܥܢܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܡܢ ܕܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܢ ܗܝ ܐܡܝ ܘܡܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܐܚܝ |
49 And he stretched out his hand towards his disciples, and said, "Look, my mother and my brothers.
| ܘܦܫܛ ܐܝܕܗ ܠܘܬ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܗܐ ܐܡܝ ܘܗܐ ܐܚܝ |
50 For whoever does the will of my Father who is in heaven, he is my brother, and sister, and mother."
| ܟܠܢܫ ܓܝܪ ܕܥܒܕ ܨܒܝܢܗ ܕܐܒܝ ܕܒܫܡܝܐ ܗܘܝܘ ܐܚܝ ܘܚܬܝ ܘܐܡܝ |
