< John 7 >

1 After these things Jesus walked in Galilee; for he would not walk in Judaea, because the Jews sought to kill him.
وَكَانَ يَسُوعُ يَتَرَدَّدُ بَعْدَ هَذَا فِي ٱلْجَلِيلِ، لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يُرِدْ أَنْ يَتَرَدَّدَ فِي ٱلْيَهُودِيَّةِ لِأَنَّ ٱلْيَهُودَ كَانُوا يَطْلُبُونَ أَنْ يَقْتُلُوهُ.١
2 Now the feast of the Jews, the feast of tabernacles, was at hand.
وَكَانَ عِيدُ ٱلْيَهُودِ، عِيدُ ٱلْمَظَالِّ، قَرِيبًا.٢
3 His brothers therefore said to him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see thy works which thou art doing.
فَقَالَ لَهُ إِخْوَتُهُ: «ٱنْتَقِلْ مِنْ هُنَا وَٱذْهَبْ إِلَى ٱلْيَهُودِيَّةِ، لِكَيْ يَرَى تَلَامِيذُكَ أَيْضًا أَعْمَالَكَ ٱلَّتِي تَعْمَلُ،٣
4 For no one doeth anything in secret, and yet himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou doest these things, manifest thyself to the world.
لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ يَعْمَلُ شَيْئًا فِي ٱلْخَفَاءِ وَهُوَ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَكُونَ عَلَانِيَةً. إِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْمَلُ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَشْيَاءَ فَأَظْهِرْ نَفْسَكَ لِلْعَالَمِ».٤
5 For even his brothers did not believe in him.
لِأَنَّ إِخْوَتَهُ أَيْضًا لَمْ يَكُونُوا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِ.٥
6 Jesus saith to them, My time is not yet come; but your time is always ready.
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «إِنَّ وَقْتِي لَمْ يَحْضُرْ بَعْدُ، وَأَمَّا وَقْتُكُمْ فَفِي كُلِّ حِينٍ حَاضِرٌ.٦
7 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that its works are evil.
لَا يَقْدِرُ ٱلْعَالَمُ أَنْ يُبْغِضَكُمْ، وَلَكِنَّهُ يُبْغِضُنِي أَنَا، لِأَنِّي أَشْهَدُ عَلَيْهِ أَنَّ أَعْمَالَهُ شِرِّيرَةٌ.٧
8 Go ye up to the feast; I go not up to this feast; for my time is not yet fully come.
اِصْعَدُوا أَنْتُمْ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْعِيدِ. أَنَا لَسْتُ أَصْعَدُ بَعْدُ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْعِيدِ، لِأَنَّ وَقْتِي لَمْ يُكْمَلْ بَعْدُ».٨
9 Having said these things, he remained in Galilee.
قَالَ لَهُمْ هَذَا وَمَكَثَ فِي ٱلْجَلِيلِ.٩
10 But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not openly, but as it were in secret.
وَلَمَّا كَانَ إِخْوَتُهُ قَدْ صَعِدُوا، حِينَئِذٍ صَعِدَ هُوَ أَيْضًا إِلَى ٱلْعِيدِ، لَا ظَاهِرًا بَلْ كَأَنَّهُ فِي ٱلْخَفَاءِ.١٠
11 The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, Where is that man?
فَكَانَ ٱلْيَهُودُ يَطْلُبُونَهُ فِي ٱلْعِيدِ، وَيَقُولُونَ: «أَيْنَ ذَاكَ؟».١١
12 And there was much debating among the multitude concerning him. Some said, He is a good man; others said, Nay, but he deceiveth the multitude.
وَكَانَ فِي ٱلْجُمُوعِ مُنَاجَاةٌ كَثِيرَةٌ مِنْ نَحْوِهِ. بَعْضُهُمْ يَقُولُونَ: «إِنَّهُ صَالِحٌ». وَآخَرُونَ يَقُولُونَ: «لَا، بَلْ يُضِلُّ ٱلشَّعْبَ».١٢
13 No one, however, spoke openly of him, for fear of the Jews.
وَلَكِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ أَحَدٌ يَتَكَلَّمُ عَنْهُ جِهَارًا لِسَبَبِ ٱلْخَوْفِ مِنَ ٱلْيَهُودِ.١٣
14 But when it was now the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.
وَلَمَّا كَانَ ٱلْعِيدُ قَدِ ٱنْتَصَفَ، صَعِدَ يَسُوعُ إِلَى ٱلْهَيْكَلِ، وَكَانَ يُعَلِّمُ.١٤
15 The Jews therefore marveled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?
فَتَعَجَّبَ ٱلْيَهُودُ قَائِلِينَ: «كَيْفَ هَذَا يَعْرِفُ ٱلْكُتُبَ، وَهُوَ لَمْ يَتَعَلَّمْ؟».١٥
16 Jesus therefore answered them, and said, My teaching is not mine, but his that sent me.
أَجَابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ: «تَعْلِيمِي لَيْسَ لِي بَلْ لِلَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي.١٦
17 If any one is desirous to do his will, he will know concerning the teaching, whether it is from God, or whether I speak from myself.
إِنْ شَاءَ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يَعْمَلَ مَشِيئَتَهُ يَعْرِفُ ٱلتَّعْلِيمَ، هَلْ هُوَ مِنَ ٱللهِ، أَمْ أَتَكَلَّمُ أَنَا مِنْ نَفْسِي.١٧
18 He that speaketh from himself seeketh his own glory; but he that seeketh the glory of him that sent him, he is true, and in him is no unrighteousness.
مَنْ يَتَكَلَّمُ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ يَطْلُبُ مَجْدَ نَفْسِهِ، وَأَمَّا مَنْ يَطْلُبُ مَجْدَ ٱلَّذِي أَرْسَلَهُ فَهُوَ صَادِقٌ وَلَيْسَ فِيهِ ظُلْمٌ.١٨
19 Hath not Moses given you the Law? and none of you keepeth the Law! Why do ye seek to kill me?
أَلَيْسَ مُوسَى قَدْ أَعْطَاكُمُ ٱلنَّامُوسَ؟ وَلَيْسَ أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ يَعْمَلُ ٱلنَّامُوسَ! لِمَاذَا تَطْلُبُونَ أَنْ تَقْتُلُونِي؟»١٩
20 The multitude answered, Thou hast a demon! Who seeketh to kill thee?
أَجَابَ ٱلْجَمْعُ وَقَالُوا: «بِكَ شَيْطَانٌ. مَنْ يَطْلُبُ أَنْ يَقْتُلَكَ؟».٢٠
21 Jesus answered and said to them, I have done one good work, and ye are all wondering.
أَجَابَ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «عَمَلًا وَاحِدًا عَمِلْتُ فَتَتَعَجَّبُونَ جَمِيعًا.٢١
22 Moses hath given you circumcision, (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers; ) and ye on the sabbath circumcise a man.
لِهَذَا أَعْطَاكُمْ مُوسَى ٱلْخِتَانَ، لَيْسَ أَنَّهُ مِنْ مُوسَى، بَلْ مِنَ ٱلْآبَاءِ. فَفِي ٱلسَّبْتِ تَخْتِنُونَ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ.٢٢
23 If a man receive circumcision on the sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be broken, are ye angry at me, because I have restored soundness to the whole body of a man on the sabbath?
فَإِنْ كَانَ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ يَقْبَلُ ٱلْخِتَانَ فِي ٱلسَّبْتِ، لِئَلَّا يُنْقَضَ نَامُوسُ مُوسَى، أَفَتَسْخَطُونَ عَلَيَّ لِأَنِّي شَفَيْتُ إِنْسَانًا كُلَّهُ فِي ٱلسَّبْتِ؟٢٣
24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
لَا تَحْكُمُوا حَسَبَ ٱلظَّاهِرِ بَلِ ٱحْكُمُوا حُكْمًا عَادِلًا».٢٤
25 Then some of the men of Jerusalem said, Is not this he whom they seek to kill?
فَقَالَ قَوْمٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ أُورُشَلِيمَ: «أَلَيْسَ هَذَا هُوَ ٱلَّذِي يَطْلُبُونَ أَنْ يَقْتُلُوهُ؟٢٥
26 and see! he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing to him. Have the rulers discovered certainly that this man is the Christ?
وَهَا هُوَ يَتَكَلَّمُ جِهَارًا وَلَا يَقُولُونَ لَهُ شَيْئًا! أَلَعَلَّ ٱلرُّؤَسَاءَ عَرَفُوا يَقِينًا أَنَّ هَذَا هُوَ ٱلْمَسِيحُ حَقًّا؟٢٦
27 Still, as to this man, we know whence he is; but when the Christ cometh, no one knoweth whence he is.
وَلَكِنَّ هَذَا نَعْلَمُ مِنْ أَيْنَ هُوَ، وَأَمَّا ٱلْمَسِيحُ فَمَتَى جَاءَ لَا يَعْرِفُ أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَيْنَ هُوَ».٢٧
28 Jesus therefore cried aloud, teaching in the temple and saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am; and I have not come of myself, but there is in truth one who sent me, whom ye know not.
فَنَادَى يَسُوعُ وَهُوَ يُعَلِّمُ فِي ٱلْهَيْكَلِ قَائِلًا: «تَعْرِفُونَنِي وَتَعْرِفُونَ مِنْ أَيْنَ أَنَا، وَمِنْ نَفْسِي لَمْ آتِ، بَلِ ٱلَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي هُوَ حَقٌّ، ٱلَّذِي أَنْتُمْ لَسْتُمْ تَعْرِفُونَهُ.٢٨
29 I know him, because I am from him, and he hath sent me.
أَنَا أَعْرِفُهُ لِأَنِّي مِنْهُ، وَهُوَ أَرْسَلَنِي».٢٩
30 Therefore they sought to take him; but no one laid hands on him, because his hour had not yet come.
فَطَلَبُوا أَنْ يُمْسِكُوهُ، وَلَمْ يُلْقِ أَحَدٌ يَدًا عَلَيْهِ، لِأَنَّ سَاعَتَهُ لَمْ تَكُنْ قَدْ جَاءَتْ بَعْدُ.٣٠
31 But of the multitude many believed in him, and said, When the Christ cometh, will he do more signs than these which this man doeth?
فَآمَنَ بِهِ كَثِيرُونَ مِنَ ٱلْجَمْعِ، وَقَالُوا: «أَلَعَلَّ ٱلْمَسِيحَ مَتَى جَاءَ يَعْمَلُ آيَاتٍ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ هَذِهِ ٱلَّتِي عَمِلَهَا هَذَا؟».٣١
32 The Pharisees heard the multitude thus debating concerning him; and the chief priest and the Pharisees sent officers to seize him.
سَمِعَ ٱلْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ ٱلْجَمْعَ يَتَنَاجَوْنَ بِهَذَا مِنْ نَحْوِهِ، فَأَرْسَلَ ٱلْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ وَرُؤَسَاءُ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ خُدَّامًا لِيُمْسِكُوهُ.٣٢
33 Jesus therefore said, Yet a little while I am with you, and then I go to him that sent me.
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «أَنَا مَعَكُمْ زَمَانًا يَسِيرًا بَعْدُ، ثُمَّ أَمْضِي إِلَى ٱلَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي.٣٣
34 Ye will seek me and not find me; and where I am, ye cannot come.
سَتَطْلُبُونَنِي وَلَا تَجِدُونَنِي، وَحَيْثُ أَكُونُ أَنَا لَا تَقْدِرُونَ أَنْتُمْ أَنْ تَأْتُوا».٣٤
35 The Jews therefore said among themselves, Whither will this man go, that we shall not find him? Will he go to the dispersed among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?
فَقَالَ ٱلْيَهُودُ فِيمَا بَيْنَهُمْ: «إِلَى أَيْنَ هَذَا مُزْمِعٌ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ حَتَّى لَا نَجِدَهُ نَحْنُ؟ أَلَعَلَّهُ مُزْمِعٌ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ إِلَى شَتَاتِ ٱلْيُونَانِيِّينَ وَيُعَلِّمَ ٱلْيُونَانِيِّينَ؟٣٥
36 What meaneth this which he said, Ye will seek me, and not find me; and where I am, ye cannot come?
مَا هَذَا ٱلْقَوْلُ ٱلَّذِي قَالَ: سَتَطْلُبُونَنِي وَلَا تَجِدُونَنِي، وَحَيْثُ أَكُونُ أَنَا لَا تَقْدِرُونَ أَنْتُمْ أَنْ تَأْتُوا؟».٣٦
37 On the last day, which is the great day, of the feast, Jesus stood and cried aloud, saying, If any one thirst, let him come to me, and drink.
وَفِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْأَخِيرِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ مِنَ ٱلْعِيدِ وَقَفَ يَسُوعُ وَنَادَى قَائِلًا: «إِنْ عَطِشَ أَحَدٌ فَلْيُقْبِلْ إِلَيَّ وَيَشْرَبْ.٣٧
38 He that believeth in me, from within him, as the Scripture hath said, will flow rivers of living water.
مَنْ آمَنَ بِي، كَمَا قَالَ ٱلْكِتَابُ، تَجْرِي مِنْ بَطْنِهِ أَنْهَارُ مَاءٍ حَيٍّ».٣٨
39 But this he said of the Spirit, which those that believed in him were to receive; for the Spirit was not yet, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
قَالَ هَذَا عَنِ ٱلرُّوحِ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِ مُزْمِعِينَ أَنْ يَقْبَلُوهُ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرُّوحَ ٱلْقُدُسَ لَمْ يَكُنْ قَدْ أُعْطِيَ بَعْدُ، لِأَنَّ يَسُوعَ لَمْ يَكُنْ قَدْ مُجِّدَ بَعْدُ.٣٩
40 Some of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, This is in truth the prophet. Others said, This is the Christ.
فَكَثِيرُونَ مِنَ ٱلْجَمْعِ لَمَّا سَمِعُوا هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامَ قَالُوا: «هَذَا بِٱلْحَقِيقَةِ هُوَ ٱلنَّبِيُّ».٤٠
41 Others said, Doth the Christ then come from Galilee?
آخَرُونَ قَالُوا: «هَذَا هُوَ ٱلْمَسِيحُ!». وَآخَرُونَ قَالُوا: «أَلَعَلَّ ٱلْمَسِيحَ مِنَ ٱلْجَلِيلِ يَأْتِي؟٤١
42 Hath not the Scripture said, that the Christ cometh from the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the town where David was?
أَلَمْ يَقُلِ ٱلْكِتَابُ إِنَّهُ مِنْ نَسْلِ دَاوُدَ، وَمِنْ بَيْتِ لَحْمٍ، ٱلْقَرْيَةِ ٱلَّتِي كَانَ دَاوُدُ فِيهَا، يَأْتِي ٱلْمَسِيحُ؟».٤٢
43 So there was a division among the multitude because of him.
فَحَدَثَ ٱنْشِقَاقٌ فِي ٱلْجَمْعِ لِسَبَبِهِ.٤٣
44 And some of them wished to seize him; but no one laid hands on him.
وَكَانَ قَوْمٌ مِنْهُمْ يُرِيدُونَ أَنْ يُمْسِكُوهُ، وَلَكِنْ لَمْ يُلْقِ أَحَدٌ عَلَيْهِ ٱلْأَيَادِيَ.٤٤
45 The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, Why did ye not bring him?
فَجَاءَ ٱلْخُدَّامُ إِلَى رُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَٱلْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ. فَقَالَ هَؤُلَاءِ لَهُمْ: «لِمَاذَا لَمْ تَأْتُوا بِهِ؟».٤٥
46 The officers answered, Never man spoke like this man.
أَجَابَ ٱلْخُدَّامُ: «لَمْ يَتَكَلَّمْ قَطُّ إِنْسَانٌ هَكَذَا مِثْلَ هَذَا ٱلْإِنْسَانِ!».٤٦
47 The Pharisees answered them, Have ye also been deceived?
فَأَجَابَهُمُ ٱلْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ: «أَلَعَلَّكُمْ أَنْتُمْ أَيْضًا قَدْ ضَلَلْتُمْ؟٤٧
48 Hath any one of the rulers believed in him? or of the Pharisees?
أَلَعَلَّ أَحَدًا مِنَ ٱلرُّؤَسَاءِ أَوْ مِنَ ٱلْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ آمَنَ بِهِ؟٤٨
49 but this multitude that know not the Law are accursed.
وَلَكِنَّ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبَ ٱلَّذِي لَا يَفْهَمُ ٱلنَّامُوسَ هُوَ مَلْعُونٌ».٤٩
50 Nicodemus saith to them, being one of them,
قَالَ لَهُمْ نِيقُودِيمُوسُ، ٱلَّذِي جَاءَ إِلَيْهِ لَيْلًا، وَهُوَ وَاحِدٌ مِنْهُمْ:٥٠
51 Doth our law judge a man, unless it first hear from him, and know what he doeth?
«أَلَعَلَّ نَامُوسَنَا يَدِينُ إِنْسَانًا لَمْ يَسْمَعْ مِنْهُ أَوَّلًا وَيَعْرِفْ مَاذَا فَعَلَ؟».٥١
52 They answered and said to him, Art thou too from Galilee? Search and see that no prophet ariseth from Galilee.
أَجَابُوا وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «أَلَعَلَّكَ أَنْتَ أَيْضًا مِنَ ٱلْجَلِيلِ؟ فَتِّشْ وَٱنْظُرْ! إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَقُمْ نَبِيٌّ مِنَ ٱلْجَلِيلِ».٥٢
53 (Joh 7:53 - 8:12: This passage is omitted as ungenuine by Tischendorf and most critical editors of the Greek Testament. It is found in some manuscripts, but not in the most ancient. It is, however, very generally regarded as a genuine relic of the teaching of Christ, though not forming a part of the fourth Gospel. I give it in the text of Tregelles, omitting the words which he incloses in brackets. Tregelles, however, does not suppose it to be genuine.) [[And they went each to his house;
فَمَضَى كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ.٥٣
