< Mark 3 >

1 [On another] ([Sabbath/Jewish day of rest]), Jesus entered (the synagogue/the Jewish meeting place) again. There was a man there whose hand was shriveled.
در کَفَرناحوم عیسی بار دیگر به کنیسه رفت و در آنجا مردی را دید که دستش از کار افتاده بود.
2 [Some men of the Pharisee sect] watched him carefully in order to see whether he would heal the man (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day). They did this in order that [if he healed the man], they would accuse him of disobeying [their Jewish laws, because he worked] ([on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day]).
آن روز شَبّات بود؛ به همین دلیل مخالفانش او را زیر نظر داشتند تا اگر آن مرد را در آن روز شفا بخشد، این موضوع را بهانه‌ای قرار دهند و او را متهم کنند که در شبّات کار می‌کند.
3 Jesus said to the man whose hand was shriveled, “Stand up here in front of everyone!” [So the man stood up].
عیسی به آن مرد فرمود: «بیا اینجا بایست تا همه بتوانند تو را ببینند!»
4 Then Jesus said [to the Pharisees], “Do the laws [that God gave Moses] permit people to do good ([on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day]), or do they permit people to do evil? Specifically, do his laws permit us to save a person’s life (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day), or [do they permit us] to let him die [by refusing to help him]?” But they did not reply.
سپس رو به مخالفانش کرد و فرمود: «سؤالی از شما دارم: آیا طبق شریعت در روز شَبّات باید نیکی کرد یا بدی؟ باید جان انسان را نجات داد یا آن را هلاک کرد؟» هیچ‌کس حرفی نزد.
5 He looked around at them angrily. He was very distressed that they were stubbornly [not wanting to help the man]. So he said to the man, “Reach out your hand!” When the man reached out his withered hand, his hand became all right again!
عیسی نگاهی خشمگین بر کسانی که اطرافش بودند انداخت و از سنگدلی آنان سخت آزرده‌خاطر شده، به آن مرد فرمود: «دستت را دراز کن!» مرد دستش را دراز کرد و دستش سالم شد.
6 Then the Pharisees [decided to get rid of Jesus. So] after they left [the meeting house], they [immediately met with some of] the Jews who supported Herod [Antipas, who ruled Galilee district]. Together they planned how they could kill Jesus.
فریسیان بلافاصله از کنیسه خارج شدند و نزد افراد حزب «هیرودیان» رفتند و با یکدیگر مشورت کردند تا راهی بیابند که عیسی را بکشند.
7 Jesus and his disciples left [that] town and went to an area further along [Galilee Lake in order to get away from the people]. But a great crowd of people followed him. They were people who came from Galilee [district],
در این هنگام، عیسی به همراه پیروانش به سوی ساحل دریاچه رفت و جمعی بیشمار از اهالی جلیل نیز در پی او روانه شدند.
8 from Jerusalem [city], from [other towns of] Judea [district], from Idumea [district], from [the region on] the [east] side of the Jordan [River], and from [the region] around Tyre and Sidon [cities]. This great crowd of people came to him because they heard about what he was doing.
همچنین گروهی بسیار از مردم یهودیه و اورشلیم و ادومیه و آن طرف رود اردن، حتی از صور و صیدون به دنبالش روانه شدند، زیرا خبر معجزات او را شنیده بودند.
9 Because he had healed many people, many [other] people who had various illnesses pushed forward in order that by touching him [they would come well]. So he told his disciples that they should get a small boat ready for him [to get in and teach from it]. He wanted to do this in order that the crowd would not crush him [when they pushed forward to touch him].
جمعیت به قدری زیاد بود که به شاگردانش فرمود قایقی برایش آماده نگاه دارند تا مردم بر او ازدحام نکنند،
زیرا آن روز، بسیاری را شفا می‌بخشید، به طوری که تمام بیماران به سوی او هجوم می‌آوردند تا به او دست بزنند و شفا بیابند.
11 Whenever the evil spirits saw Jesus, [they caused the people whom they controlled] to fall down in front of Jesus [in recognition of Jesus’ power]. Then they exclaimed, “You are (the Son of God/the man who is also God)!”
کسانی نیز که گرفتار ارواح پلید بودند، وقتی چشمشان به او می‌افتاد، در مقابلش به خاک می‌افتادند و فریاد برآورده، می‌گفتند: «تو پسر خدا هستی!»
12 He commanded the [evil spirits] strongly that they should not tell anyone who he was.
ولی عیسی با تأکید زیاد، به آنها می‌فرمود که نزد مردم او را شهرت ندهند.
13 Jesus went [with many other people] up into the hills. After he picked out [from among them] the men whom he wanted [to accompany him], they came [close] to him.
سپس عیسی به کوهی برآمد و از آنانی که منظور نظرش بودند، دعوت کرد تا نزد او بیایند.
14 He appointed twelve men in order that they might be with him and in order that he might send them out to preach. He called them apostles.
سپس، از میانشان دوازده نفر را برگزید و ایشان را رسول نامید، تا همراه او باشند و ایشان را بفرستد که پیام خدا را به گوش مردم برسانند،
15 He also gave them power in order that they might expel evil spirits [from people].
و این اقتدار را داشته باشند که ارواح پلید را بیرون برانند.
16 These were the twelve men he appointed: Simon, to whom he gave the [new] name Peter; his [younger] brother Andrew;
آن دوازده نفر که تعیین کرد اینان هستند: شمعون (که عیسی او را «پِطرُس» لقب داد)؛
17 James, [the son] of Zebedee, and John, the [younger] brother of James, to [both of] whom he added the [new] name, ‘Men who are like Thunder’. [because of their fiery zeal];
یعقوب و یوحنا (که پسران زبدی بودند و عیسی آنان را «پسران رعد» لقب داد)؛
18 Philip; Bartholomew; Levi, whose other name was Matthew; Thomas; [another] James, the son of Alphaeus; Thaddeus; [another] Simon, who was a [member of the party that wanted] to overthrow [the Roman government];
آندریاس، فیلیپ، بَرتولُما، متی، توما، یعقوب (پسر حلفی)، تَدّای، شمعون (عضو حزب فداییان)؛
19 and Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]). He was the one who [later] (betrayed Jesus/helped Jesus’ enemies seize him).
و یهودای اِسخَریوطی (همان که بعداً به عیسی خیانت کرد).
20 Jesus [along with his disciples] went to the house where he was staying [in Capernaum. Again a crowd gathered where he was]. There were many people crowding around him, so that he and his disciples had no time when they could eat or [when they could do anything else].
وقتی عیسی به خانه‌ای که محل اقامتش بود بازگشت، باز عدهٔ زیادی جمع شدند، به طوری که حتی فرصت غذا خوردن نیز پیدا نکردند.
21 After his relatives heard about this, they went to take him home [with them] because (some people/they) were saying that he was insane.
نزدیکانش با شنیدن این خبر آمدند تا او را به خانه‌اش ببرند، زیرا فکر می‌کردند عقلش را از دست داده است.
22 [Around that time] some men who taught the [Jewish] laws came down from Jerusalem [city. They heard that Jesus was expelling demons]. So they were telling [people], “Beelzebub, who rules the evil spirits, controls him. He is the one who enables this man to expel evil spirits [from people]!”
عده‌ای از علمای دین نیز که از اورشلیم آمده بودند، می‌گفتند: «شیطان به جلدش رفته! او ارواح پلید را به قدرت رئیس ارواح پلید بیرون می‌راند.»
23 Jesus summoned those men. [Then he spoke to them] in parables [to enable them to realize that Satan would not oppose his own evil spirits. He also wanted them to realize that by expelling evil spirits, he was demonstrating that he was much more powerful than Satan]. So he said, “([It is ridiculous] to suggest that Satan would expel his own [evil spirits]!/Why would Satan expel his own [evil spirits]?) [RHQ]
عیسی ایشان را نزد خود فراخواند و مَثَلها زده، از ایشان پرسید: «چگونه ممکن است شیطان خودش را بیرون براند؟
24 If [people who live in the same] country are fighting one another, they will cease to be a single group under one ruler.
مملکتی که دچار جنگ داخلی شود، نابودی‌اش حتمی است.
25 And if [people who live in the same] house fight each other, they will certainly not remain [as one family].
همچنین، خانه‌ای نیز که در آن در اثر دشمنی‌ها تفرقه ایجاد گردد، از هم فرو خواهد پاشید.
26 Similarly, if Satan and his [evil spirits] were fighting one another, instead of remaining strong, he would become powerless.
و اگر شیطان بر ضد خودش تجزیه شده، با خودش می‌جنگید، قادر به انجام هیچ کاری نمی‌شد و تا به حال نابود شده بود.
27 Contrary to [what you say about me], someone can enter the house of a strong man [like Satan] and carry off his possessions only if he first ties up the strong man. Then [and only then] will he [be able to] steal the things in that man’s house.”
در ضمن، چگونه امکان دارد شخص به خانۀ مردی قوی مانند شیطان داخل شود و اموال او را غارت کند؟ فقط شخصی نیرومندتر از او می‌تواند چنین کند، کسی که بتواند او را ببندد و بعد خانه‌اش را غارت کند.
28 [Jesus also said], “Consider this carefully! People may sin in many ways and they may speak evilly about God, but [if] they [then are sorry and ask God to] forgive [them], [God] will forgive them for doing that.
عین حقیقت را به شما می‌گویم که هر گناه و کفری قابل بخشش است،
29 But if anyone speaks evil words about what the Holy Spirit [does], [God] will never forgive that. That person’s guilt will remain with him forever.” (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
اما هر که به روح‌القدس کفر گوید، هرگز آمرزیده نخواهد شد و بار این گناه تا ابد بر دوش او خواهد ماند.» (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
30 [Jesus told them that] because [they refused to admit that the Holy Spirit was helping him to expel demons. Instead], they were saying, “An evil spirit is controlling him!”
عیسی این را به این علّت گفت که مردم به جای اینکه معجزات او را ناشی از قدرت روح‌القدس بدانند، می‌گفتند که او به قدرت شیطان معجزه می‌کند.
31 Jesus’ mother and [younger] siblings arrived. While they stood outside, they sent [someone inside] in order to call him [outside].
آنگاه مادر و برادران عیسی آمدند و بیرون ایستاده، کسی را فرستادند تا او را خبر کند.
32 A crowd was sitting around Jesus. One of them said to him, “Listen/Hey, your mother and your [younger] brothers and sisters are outside, and they are wanting (to see/to talk with) you!”
در حالی که عیسی در میان عده‌ای نشسته بود، به او پیغام داده، گفتند: «مادر و برادرانت بیرون منتظر هستند.»
33 Jesus replied to them, “([I will tell you something about] my mother and my brothers.[/Do you know whom I consider to be like] my mother and my brothers?)” [RHQ]
در پاسخ ایشان فرمود: «مادر من کیست؟ برادرانم چه کسانی هستند؟»
34 After he looked around at [the disciples] who were sitting around him [in a circle], he said, “Look here! I [love these men as much as] I [love] my mother and my brothers.
و نگاهی به آنانی که در اطرافش نشسته بودند انداخت و فرمود: «اینها هستند مادر و برادران من.
35 Those who habitually do what God wants are [as dear to me] [MET] as my brother, my sister, or my mother!”
هر که خواست خدا را به‌جا آوَرَد، برادر و خواهر و مادر من است.»
