Luke 9
1 [One day] Jesus summoned his twelve [apostles], and gave them power to expel all [kinds of] demons and to heal [people with] diseases. He gave them authority to do that.
| روزی عیسی دوازده شاگرد خود را فرا خواند و به ایشان قدرت و اقتدار داد تا ارواح پلید را از وجود دیوزدگان بیرون کنند و بیماران را شفا بخشند. |
2 [Before] he sent them out to heal people and to tell people [what it meant to let] God (rule/have complete control [over]) [their lives],
| آنگاه ایشان را فرستاد تا فرا رسیدن ملکوت خدا را به مردم اعلام نمایند و بیماران را شفا دهند. |
3 he said to them, “Do not take things for your journey. Do not take a walking stick or a [traveler’s] bag or food or money. Do not take (an extra shirt/extra clothes).
| پیش از آنکه به راه افتند، عیسی به آنان فرمود: «در این سفر، هیچ چیز با خود نبرید، نه چوبدستی، نه کوله‌بار، نه خوراک، نه پول و نه لباس اضافی. |
4 Whenever you enter some house [to lodge there], stay in that house until you leave that town.
| به هر خانه‌ای که وارد شدید، تا هنگام ترک آن محل، در آن خانه بمانید. |
5 [In towns] where the people do not welcome you, [you should not continue to stay there. Just] leave those towns. And as you leave, shake off the dust from your feet. [Do that to] warn them [that God will punish them for rejecting your message].”
| اگر اهالی شهری به پیغام شما توجهی نکردند، به هنگام ترک آن شهر، حتی گرد و خاک آنجا را نیز از پاهایتان بتکانید تا شهادتی بر ضد آنها باشد.» |
6 Then they left and traveled through many villages. Everywhere [they went], they told people God’s good message and healed sick people.
| پس شاگردان، شهر به شهر و آبادی به آبادی می‌گشتند و پیغام انجیل را به مردم می‌رساندند و بیماران را شفا می‌بخشیدند. |
7 Herod [Antipas], the ruler of [that] district, heard about the things that [Jesus and his disciples] were doing. [He had previously commanded his soldiers to execute John the Baptizer, so now] he was perplexed, because some people were saying that John had become alive again [and was doing those miracles].
| وقتی که هیرودیس حکمران جلیل خبر معجزات عیسی را شنید، حیران و پریشان شد، زیرا بعضی درباره عیسی می‌گفتند که او همان یحیای تعمیددهنده است که زنده شده است. |
8 Others were saying that [the prophet] Elijah had appeared [again as had been prophesied]. Others were saying that one of the [other] former prophets had become alive again [and was doing those miracles].
| عده‌ای دیگر نیز می‌گفتند که او همان ایلیا است که ظهور کرده یا یکی از پیامبران گذشته است که زنده شده است. |
9 But Herod said, “[It cannot be John who is doing these things], [because] I [commanded my soldiers to] cut off his head. So who is [this man] that I am hearing these things about?” And he kept wanting to see [Jesus].
| اما هیرودیس می‌گفت: «من خود سر یحیی را از تنش جدا کردم! پس این دیگر کیست که این داستانهای عجیب و غریب را درباره‌اش می‌شنوم؟» و او می‌کوشید عیسی را ملاقات کند. |
10 When the apostles returned [from traveling to various towns], they told Jesus the things that they had done. Then he took them and they went by themselves [by boat] to a town called Bethsaida.
| پس از مدتی، رسولان برگشتند و عیسی را از آنچه انجام داده بودند، آگاه ساختند. آنگاه عیسی همراه ایشان، به دور از چشم مردم، به سوی شهر بیت‌صیدا به راه افتاد. |
11 But when the crowds [of people who had been with Jesus] found out about that, they followed him [on land. When they got to where he was], he welcomed them. He taught them about how God is going to some day (rule as king/have complete control [over people’s lives]). He also healed the sick people.
| اما بسیاری از مردم از مقصد او باخبر شدند و به دنبالش راه افتادند. عیسی نیز با خوشرویی ایشان را پذیرفت و باز درباره ملکوت خدا ایشان را تعلیم داد و بیماران را شفا بخشید. |
12 Late in the afternoon Jesus’ twelve [apostles] came to him and said, “This is a place where nobody lives, so dismiss the people so that they can go to the surrounding villages and other places where they can get some food and find places to stay!”
| نزدیک غروب، دوازده شاگرد عیسی نزد او آمدند و گفتند: «مردم را مرخص فرما تا به دهات و مزرعه‌های اطراف بروند و خوراک و سرپناهی بیابند، چون در این بیابان، چیزی برای خوردن پیدا نمی‌شود.» |
13 But he said to them, “[No], you [yourselves] give them something to eat!” They replied, “We [(exc)] have only five small loaves and two [cooked] fish. Are you [(sg)] going to [give] us [the money] to go somewhere and buy food for all these people?”
| عیسی جواب داد: «شما خودتان به ایشان خوراک بدهید!» شاگردان با تعجب گفتند: «چگونه؟ ما حتی برای خودمان، چیزی جز پنج نان و دو ماهی نداریم! شاید می‌خواهی که برویم و برای تمام این جمعیت غذا بخریم؟» |
14 There were about 5,000 men [there]. He replied to the disciples, “[No], [just] tell the people to sit down. Tell them to sit in groups, with about 50 people in each group.”
| فقط تعداد مردها در آن جمعیت، حدود پنج هزار نفر بود. آنگاه عیسی فرمود: «به مردم بگویید که در دسته‌های پنجاه نفری، بر روی زمین بنشینند.» |
15 After they told the people that, they all sat down.
| شاگردان همه را نشاندند. |
16 Then he took the five small loaves and the two fish. He looked up towards heaven and thanked [God for them]. Then he broke them [into pieces] and gave them to the disciples so that they would distribute them to the crowd.
| عیسی آن پنج نان و دو ماهی را برداشت و به سوی آسمان نگاه کرده، برکت داد. سپس نانها را تکه‌تکه کرد و به شاگردانش داد تا در میان مردم تقسیم کنند. |
17 All [the people in the crowd] ate until they all had enough to eat. Then [the disciples] collected twelve baskets full of the broken pieces that were left over!
| همه خوردند و سیر شدند و شاگردان از خُرده‌های باقی‌مانده، دوازده سبد برداشتند. |
18 [One day] Jesus was praying in a place where only the disciples were with him. He asked them, “The crowds [of people], who do they say that I [really] am?”
| یک روز که عیسی به تنهایی دعا می‌کرد، شاگردانش نزد او آمدند و او از ایشان پرسید: «به نظر مردم، من که هستم؟» |
19 They replied, “[Some people say that you are] John the Baptizer, [who has come back to life again]. Others say that you are [the prophet] Elijah, [who has returned from heaven as God promised]. Others say that you are one of the [other] prophets who lived long ago, who has come back to life again.”
| جواب دادند: «بعضی‌ها می‌گویند که یحیای تعمیددهنده هستی؛ عده‌ای نیز می‌گویند ایلیا و یا یکی از پیامبران گذشته هستی که زنده شده است.» |
20 He asked them, “What about you [(pl)]? Who do you say that I am?” Peter replied, “You [(sg)] are the Messiah, who [has come from] God.”
| آنگاه از ایشان پرسید: «شما چه؟ شما مرا که می‌دانید؟» پطرس در جواب گفت: «تو مسیحِ خدا هستی!» |
21 Then Jesus warned them strongly not to tell that to anyone [yet].
| اما عیسی به ایشان دستور اکید داد که این را به کسی نگویند. |
22 Then he said, “[Even though I am] the one who came from heaven, it is necessary that I suffer very much. It is also necessary that I be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the men who teach the [Jewish] laws {that the [Jewish] elders and the chief priests and the men who teach the [Jewish] laws will reject me}. It is necessary that I be killed {that [people] will kill me}. Then on the third day [after that], I will become alive again.”
| سپس به ایشان فرمود: «لازم است که پسر انسان رنج بسیار بکشد و مشایخ و کاهنان اعظم و علمای دین او را محکوم کرده، بکشند، اما او روز سوم زنده خواهد شد!» |
23 Then he said to all of them, “If any one [of you] wants to be my disciple, you must not do [only] what you yourself desire [to do]. [Specifically], you must be willing each day [MET] [to let others hurt you and disgrace you. That is like what is done to criminals who are forced] to carry [MET] crosses [to the place where they will be executed]. [That is what anyone who wants to] be my disciple [must do].
| سپس به همه فرمود: «اگر کسی از شما بخواهد پیرو من باشد باید از خودخواهی دست بردارد و هر روز صلیب خود را بر دوش گیرد و مرا پیروی کند. |
24 You must do that, because those who try to save their lives [by denying that they belong to me when people want to kill them for believing in me] will not live [eternally], but those who are killed because of being my [disciples] will live [forever with me].
| هر که بخواهد جان خود را نجات دهد، آن را از دست خواهد داد؛ اما هر که جانش را به خاطر من از دست بدهد، آن را نجات خواهد داد. |
25 People might get everything that [they want] in this world, but (they are really gaining nothing if they do not get eternal life by [becoming my disciples]!/are they really gaining anything if they do not get eternal life by [becoming my disciples]?) [RHQ]
| چه فایده که انسان تمام دنیا را ببرد، اما جانش را از دست بدهد یا آن را تلف کند؟ |
26 Those who reject my message [and] refuse to say that [they belong] to me, [I], the one who came from heaven, will also refuse to say that [they belong to me] when I come back with the holy angels, and have the glorious brightness that my Father has.
| «و اگر کسی از من و از سخنان من عار داشته باشد، پسر انسان نیز هنگامی که در جلال خود و جلال پدر، با فرشتگان مقدّس بازگردد، از او عار خواهد داشت. |
27 But listen carefully! Some of you [(pl)] who are here now will see God ruling [MET] [in many powerful ways]. You will see it before you die!”
| اما یقین بدانید که در اینجا کسانی ایستاده‌اند که تا ملکوت خدا را نبینند، نخواهند مرد.» |
28 About a week after [Jesus] said those things, he took Peter, James, and [James’ brother] John and led them up a mountain so that he could pray [there].
| حدود هشت روز پس از این سخنان، عیسی پطرس و یعقوب و یوحنا را برداشت و بر فراز کوهی برآمد تا دعا کند. |
29 As he was praying, his face appeared very different to them. His clothes became as bright as lightning.
| به هنگام دعا، ناگهان چهرۀ عیسی نورانی شد و لباسش از سفیدی، چشم را خیره می‌کرد. |
30 Suddenly, two men appeared who had the brightness [of heaven] surrounding them. They were [prophets who had lived long ago], Moses and Elijah. They started talking with Jesus about how he [would accomplish what God had planned when he died] [EUP] [very soon] in Jerusalem.
| ناگاه، دو مرد، یعنی موسی و ایلیا، ظاهر شدند و با عیسی به گفتگو پرداختند. |
| ظاهر ایشان بس پرشکوه بود. گفتگوی ایشان دربارۀ خروج عیسی از این جهان بود، امری که قرار بود در اورشلیم اتفاق بیفتد. |
32 Peter and the other [disciples] who were with him were sound asleep. When they woke up, they saw [Jesus’] brightness. They also saw the two men standing with him.
| اما در این هنگام، پطرس و همراهانش به خواب رفته بودند. وقتی بیدار شدند، عیسی و آن دو مرد را غرق در نور و جلال دیدند. |
33 As [Moses and Elijah] were starting to leave Jesus, Peter said to him, “Master, it is wonderful for us to be here! Allow us to make three shelters, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah!” But he really did not realize what he was talking about.
| هنگامی که موسی و ایلیا آن محل را ترک می‌گفتند، پطرس که دستپاچه بود و نمی‌دانست چه می‌گوید، به عیسی گفت: «استاد، چه خوب است ما اینجا هستیم! بگذار سه سایبان بسازیم، برای تو، یکی برای موسی، و یکی دیگر هم برای ایلیا.» |
34 As he was saying that, a [bright] cloud appeared and covered them all. The disciples were afraid as the cloud surrounded them.
| سخن پطرس هنوز تمام نشده بود که ابری درخشان پدیدار گشت و وقتی بر ایشان سایه انداخت، شاگردان را ترس فرا گرفت. |
35 [God] [MTY/EUP] spoke to them from the cloud, saying, “This is my Son. He is the one whom [I] have chosen [to do a great work for me]. [So] you must listen to him!”
| آنگاه از ابر ندایی در رسید که «این است پسر من که او را برگزیده‌ام؛ به او گوش فرا دهید!» |
36 After [God] [MTY/EUP] finished saying that, [the three disciples] saw that only Jesus was there. They did not tell anyone what they had seen until much later.
| چون ندا خاتمه یافت، متوجه شدند که عیسی تنهاست. آنان تا مدتها، به کسی دربارۀ این واقعه چیزی نگفتند. |
37 The next day, after they had come down from the mountain, a large crowd [of people] met Jesus.
| روز بعد، وقتی از تپه پایین می‌آمدند، با جمعیت بزرگی روبرو شدند. |
38 Then a man from the crowd exclaimed, “Teacher, I plead with you, [do something to help] my son! He is my only child!
| ناگهان مردی از میان جمعیت فریاد زد: «استاد، التماس می‌کنم بر پسرم، که تنها فرزندم است، نظر لطف بیندازی، |
39 At various times an evil spirit suddenly seizes him and [causes] him to scream. The evil spirit shakes him violently and causes him to foam at the mouth. It does not leave until my child is completely exhausted.
| چون یک روح پلید مرتب داخل وجود او می‌شود و او را به فریاد کشیدن وا می‌دارد. این روح پلید او را متشنج می‌کند، به طوری که دهانش کف می‌کند. او همیشه به پسرم حمله می‌کند و به سختی او را رها می‌سازد. |
40 I pleaded with your disciples [who were here] for them to expel [the evil spirit], but they were not able to do it!”
| از شاگردانت درخواست کردم که این روح را از وجود پسرم بیرون کنند، اما نتوانستند.» |
41 Jesus replied [by saying to everyone who had gathered there], “[You who have seen how I help people] do not believe [that you can do anything]. What you [think] is perverted! How long must I be with you [before you are able to do what I do] [RHQ]? [How long must I] endure your [lack of faith]?” [Then he said to the boy’s father], “Bring your [(sg)] son here [to me]!”
| عیسی فرمود: «ای مردم بی‌ایمان و نامطیع! تا کِی باید با شما باشم و رفتار شما را تحمل کنم؟ پسرت را نزد من بیاور!» |
42 While they were bringing the boy to Jesus, the demon attacked the boy, threw him to the ground, and shook him severely. But Jesus rebuked the evil spirit and healed the boy. Then he returned him to his father’s [care].
| در همان هنگام که پسر را می‌آوردند، روح پلید او را به شدت تکان داد و بر زمین زد. پسر می‌غلتید و دهانش کف می‌کرد. اما عیسی به روح پلید نهیب زد و پسر را شفا بخشید و به پدرش سپرد. |
43 All the people [there] were amazed at the great [power] of God. Luke 9:43b-45 While they were all amazed at all the miracles [Jesus] was doing, he said to his disciples,
| مردم همه از قدرت خدا شگفت‌زده شده بودند. در همان حال که همه با حیرت از کارهای عجیب عیسی تعریف می‌کردند، او به شاگردان خود فرمود: |
44 “Think carefully [MTY] about what I am about to tell you: [Even though I am] the one who came from heaven, [I will soon] be handed over to the authorities (OR, my enemies) {[someone] is about to enable [MTY] my enemies to seize me}.”
| «به آنچه می‌گویم، خوب توجه کنید: پسر انسان را به دست مردم تسلیم خواهند کرد.» |
45 But [the disciples] did not understand what he was saying; [God] prevented them from understanding it, so that they would not know [yet] what he meant. And they were afraid to ask him about [what he had said].
| اما شاگردان منظور او را نفهمیدند، چون ذهنشان کور شده بود و می‌ترسیدند در این باره از او سؤال کنند. |
46 The disciples began to argue among themselves about which one of them would be the greatest [when Jesus became king].
| سپس بین شاگردان عیسی این بحث درگرفت که کدام یک از ایشان بزرگتر است! |
47 But Jesus perceived what they were thinking. So he brought a young child to his side.
| عیسی که متوجه افکار ایشان شده بود، کودکی را نزد خود خواند، |
48 He said to [the disciples], “Those who, because they [love] me, (OR, because they want to behave like me) welcome a little child ([like] this one/[as] I [would]) [MTY], [God considers that] [MET] they are welcoming me. And those who welcome me, [God considers] that [MET] they are welcoming him, the one who sent me. Remember that those among you who think of themselves as being very unimportant will be the ones [whom God considers] to be great.”
| و به ایشان فرمود: «هر که به خاطر من این کودک را بپذیرد، مرا پذیرفته است؛ و هر که مرا بپذیرد، فرستندۀ مرا پذیرفته است. زیرا در میان شما کسی واقعاً بزرگتر است که از همه کوچکتر باشد.» |
49 John replied to [Jesus], “Master, we [(exc)] saw a man who was expelling demons, [claiming] that [he had] authority from you [MTY] to do that. So we told him to stop doing it, because he is not one of us [disciples].”
| یوحنا، به او گفت: «استاد، مردی را دیدیم که به نام تو ارواح پلید را از مردم بیرون می‌کرد؛ ولی ما به او گفتیم که این کار را نکند چون از گروه ما نبود.» |
50 But Jesus said to him [and the other disciples], “Do not tell him not to [do that]! Remember that those who are not opposing you are trying to [achieve the same goals that] you are!”
| عیسی گفت: «مانع او نشوید، چون کسی که بر ضد شما نباشد، با شماست.» |
51 When it was almost time for [God] to take Jesus up to heaven, he firmly resolved to go to Jerusalem.
| هنگامی که زمان بازگشت عیسی به آسمان نزدیک شد، با عزمی راسخ به سوی اورشلیم به راه افتاد. |
52 He sent some messengers to go ahead of him, and they entered a village in Samaria [district] to prepare for him [SYN] [to go there].
| او چند نفر را جلوتر فرستاد تا در یکی از دهکده‌های سامری‌نشین، محلی برای اقامت ایشان آماده سازند. |
53 But [the Samaritans did not like the Jews because of their insisting that it was necessary to go to Jerusalem to worship God. So], because Jesus had firmly resolved to go to Jerusalem, they would not let him come [to their village].
| اما اهالی آن دهکده، ایشان را نپذیرفتند چون می‌دانستند که عازم اورشلیم هستند. (سامریان و یهودیان، دشمنی دیرینه‌ای با یکدیگر داشتند.) |
54 When two of his disciples, James and John, heard about that, they said, “Lord, do you [(sg)] want us [(exc)] to pray that [God] will send fire down from heaven, [as the prophet Elijah did long ago], and destroy those people?”
| وقتی فرستادگان برگشتند و این خبر را آوردند، یعقوب و یوحنا به عیسی گفتند: «استاد، آیا می‌خواهی از خدا درخواست کنیم که از آسمان آتش بفرستد و ایشان را از بین ببرد، همان‌گونه که ایلیا نیز کرد؟» |
55 But Jesus turned and rebuked them [for saying that].
| اما عیسی ایشان را سرزنش نمود. |
56 So they went to a different village.
| بنابراین از آنجا به آبادی دیگری رفتند. |
57 As Jesus and the disciples were walking along the road, one man said to him, “I will go with you [(sg)] wherever you go!”
| در بین راه، شخصی به عیسی گفت: «هر جا بروی، از تو پیروی خواهم کرد.» |
58 [In order that the man might know what he could expect if he went with Jesus], Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes [in the ground in which to live], and birds have nests, but [even though I am] the one who came from heaven, I do not have a home where I can sleep!”
| اما عیسی به او گفت: «روباه‌ها برای خود لانه دارند و پرندگان، آشیانه؛ اما پسر انسان جایی ندارد که حتی سرش را بر آن بگذارد.» |
59 Jesus told another man, “Come with me!” But the man said, “Lord/Sir, let me go [home] first. [After] my father [dies] I will bury him, [and then I will come with you].”
| یکبار نیز او کسی را دعوت کرد تا پیروی‌اش نماید. آن شخص گفت: «سَرورم، اجازه بفرما تا اول به خانه بازگردم و پدرم را دفن کنم.» |
60 But Jesus said to him, “[God considers that those who do not have eternal life are] dead [MET]. Let those people [do the work of] burying people who die. As for you, go and tell people about how God wants (to rule/to have complete control [over]) [people’s lives]!”
| عیسی به او گفت: «بگذار مردگان، مردگانِ خود را دفن کنند. وظیفه تو این است که بیایی و مژده ملکوت خدا را در همه جا اعلام نمایی.» |
61 Someone else said, “Lord, I will come with you and be your disciple, but first let me go home to say goodbye to my relatives.”
| شخصی نیز به عیسی گفت: «خداوندا، من حاضرم تو را پیروی کنم. اما بگذار اول بروم و با خانواده‌ام خداحافظی کنم!» |
62 Jesus said to him, “Anyone who is plowing his field should not look back [to see what he has done. He must look forward to what is ahead. Similarly], [anyone who continues to be concerned about his family and other things he has left behind] is not fit [to serve me and tell others about how] God wants to rule [MTY] [people’s lives].”
| عیسی به او فرمود: «کسی که آغاز به شخم زدن بکند و بعد، به عقب نگاه کند، لیاقت خدمت در ملکوت خدا را ندارد!» |
