< Mark 8 >

1 About that time there was again an immense crowd, and they found themselves with nothing to eat. So He called His disciples to Him.
ܒܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܝܘܡܬܐ ܟܕ ܟܢܫܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܘܠܐ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܡܕܡ ܕܢܐܟܠܘܢ ܩܪܐ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ
2 "My heart yearns over the people," He said; "for this is now the third day they have remained with me, and they have nothing to eat.
ܡܬܪܚܡ ܐܢܐ ܥܠ ܟܢܫܐ ܗܢܐ ܕܗܐ ܬܠܬܐ ܝܘܡܝܢ ܩܘܝܘ ܠܘܬܝ ܘܠܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܢܐ ܢܐܟܠܘܢ
3 If I were to send them home hungry, they would faint on the way, some of them having come a great distance."
ܘܐܢ ܗܘ ܕܫܪܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܟܕ ܨܝܡܝܢ ܠܒܬܝܗܘܢ ܥܝܦܝܢ ܒܐܘܪܚܐ ܐܢܫܐ ܓܝܪ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܡܢ ܪܘܚܩܐ ܐܬܝܐܝܢ
4 "Where can we possibly get bread here in this remote place to satisfy such a crowd?" answered His disciples.
ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܐܝܡܟܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܐܢܫ ܗܪܟܐ ܒܚܘܪܒܐ ܕܢܤܒܥ ܠܚܡܐ ܠܗܠܝܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ
5 "How many loaves have you?" He asked. "Seven," they said.
ܘܫܐܠ ܐܢܘܢ ܗܘ ܟܡܐ ܠܚܡܝܢ ܐܝܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܫܒܥܐ
6 So He passed the word to the people to sit down on the ground. Then taking the seven loaves He blessed them, and broke them into portions and proceeded to give them to His disciples for them to distribute, and they distributed them to the people.
ܘܦܩܕ ܠܟܢܫܐ ܕܢܤܬܡܟܘܢ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ ܘܢܤܒ ܗܢܘܢ ܫܒܥܐ ܠܚܡܝܢ ܘܒܪܟ ܘܩܨܐ ܘܝܗܒ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܕܢܤܝܡܘܢ ܘܤܡܘ ܠܟܢܫܐ
7 They had also a few small fish. He blessed them, and He told His disciples to distribute these also.
ܘܐܝܬ ܗܘܘ ܢܘܢܐ ܩܠܝܠ ܘܐܦ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܒܪܟ ܘܐܡܪ ܕܢܤܝܡܘܢ ܐܢܘܢ
8 So the people ate an abundant meal; and what remained over they picked up and carried away--seven hampers of broken pieces.
ܘܐܟܠܘ ܘܤܒܥܘ ܘܫܩܠܘ ܬܘܬܪܐ ܕܩܨܝܐ ܫܒܥܐ ܐܤܦܪܝܕܝܢ
9 The number fed were about 4,000. Then He sent them away,
ܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܢܫܐ ܕܐܟܠܘ ܐܝܟ ܐܪܒܥܐ ܐܠܦܝܢ
10 and at once going on board with His disciples He came into the district of Dalmanutha.
ܘܫܪܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܤܠܩ ܡܚܕܐ ܠܤܦܝܢܬܐ ܥܡ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܐܬܐ ܠܐܬܪܐ ܕܕܠܡܢܘܬܐ
11 The Pharisees followed Him and began to dispute with Him, asking Him for a sign in the sky, to make trial of Him.
ܘܢܦܩܘ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܘܫܪܝܘ ܠܡܒܥܐ ܥܡܗ ܘܫܐܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܐܬܐ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܟܕ ܡܢܤܝܢ ܠܗ
12 Heaving a deep and troubled sigh, He said, "Why do the men of to-day ask for a sign? In solemn truth I tell you that no sign will be given to the men of to-day."
ܘܐܬܬܢܚ ܒܪܘܚܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܢܐ ܒܥܝܐ ܐܬܐ ܫܪܒܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܬܬܝܗܒ ܠܗ ܐܬܐ ܠܫܪܒܬܐ ܗܕܐ
13 So He left them, went on board again, and came away to the other side.
ܘܫܒܩ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܤܠܩ ܠܤܦܝܢܬܐ ܘܐܙܠܘ ܠܗܘ ܥܒܪܐ
14 Now they had forgotten to take bread, nor had they more than a single loaf with them in the boat;
ܘܛܥܘ ܕܢܤܒܘܢ ܠܚܡܐ ܘܐܠܐ ܚܕܐ ܓܪܝܨܬܐ ܠܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܒܤܦܝܢܬܐ
15 and when He admonished them, "See to it, be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod,"
ܘܦܩܕ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܚܙܘ ܐܙܕܗܪܘ ܡܢ ܚܡܝܪܐ ܕܦܪܝܫܐ ܘܡܢ ܚܡܝܪܗ ܕܗܪܘܕܤ
16 they explained His words to one another by saying, "We have no bread!"
ܘܡܬܚܫܒܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܚܕ ܥܡ ܚܕ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܕܠܚܡܐ ܠܝܬ ܠܢ
17 He perceived what they were saying, and He said to them, "What is this discussion of yours about having no bread? Do you not yet see and understand? Are your minds so dull of comprehension?
ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܝܕܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܢܐ ܪܢܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܠܚܡܐ ܠܝܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܠܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܗܫܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܡܤܬܟܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܥܕܟܝܠ ܠܒܐ ܩܫܝܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܟܘܢ
18 You have eyes! can you not see? You have ears! can you not hear? and have you no memory?
ܘܥܝܢܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܚܙܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܘܐܕܢܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܫܡܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܥܗܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ
19 When I broke up the five loaves for the 5,000 men, how many baskets did you carry away full of broken portions?" "Twelve," they said.
ܟܕ ܗܠܝܢ ܚܡܫܐ ܠܚܡܝܢ ܩܨܝܬ ܠܚܡܫܐ ܐܠܦܝܢ ܟܡܐ ܩܘܦܝܢܝܢ ܕܩܨܝܐ ܟܕ ܡܠܝܢ ܫܩܠܬܘܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܬܪܥܤܪ
20 "And when the seven for the 4,000, how many hampers full of portions did you take away?" "Seven," they answered.
ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܘܟܕ ܫܒܥܐ ܠܐܪܒܥܐ ܐܠܦܝܢ ܟܡܐ ܐܤܦܪܝܕܝܢ ܕܩܨܝܐ ܟܕ ܡܠܝܢ ܫܩܠܬܘܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܫܒܥܐ
21 "Do you not yet understand?" He said.
ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܟܘ ܠܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܗܫܐ ܡܤܬܟܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ
22 And they came to Bethsaida. And a blind man was brought to Jesus and they entreated Him to touch him.
ܘܐܬܐ ܠܒܝܬ ܨܝܕܐ ܘܐܝܬܝܘ ܠܗ ܤܡܝܐ ܘܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܢܗ ܕܢܩܪܘܒ ܠܗ
23 So He took the blind man by the arm and brought him out of the village, and spitting into his eyes He put His hands on him and asked him, "Can you see anything?"
ܘܐܚܕ ܒܐܝܕܗ ܕܤܡܝܐ ܘܐܦܩܗ ܠܒܪ ܡܢ ܩܪܝܬܐ ܘܪܩ ܒܥܝܢܘܗܝ ܘܤܡ ܐܝܕܗ ܘܫܐܠܗ ܕܡܢܐ ܚܙܐ
24 He looked up and said, "I can see the people: I see them like trees--only walking."
ܚܪ ܘܐܡܪ ܚܙܐ ܐܢܐ ܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܐܝܟ ܐܝܠܢܐ ܕܡܗܠܟܝܢ
25 Then for the second time He put His hands on the man's eyes, and the man, looking steadily, recovered his sight and saw everything distinctly.
ܬܘܒ ܤܡ ܐܝܕܗ ܥܠ ܥܝܢܘܗܝ ܘܬܩܢ ܘܚܙܐ ܗܘܐ ܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܢܗܝܪܐܝܬ
26 So He sent him home, and added, "Do not even go into the village."
ܘܫܕܪܗ ܠܒܝܬܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܐܦ ܠܐ ܠܩܪܝܬܐ ܬܥܘܠ ܘܠܐ ܬܐܡܪ ܠܐܢܫ ܒܩܪܝܬܐ
27 From that place Jesus and His disciples went to the villages belonging to Caesarea Philippi. On the way He began to ask His disciples, "Who do people say that I am?"
ܘܢܦܩ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܠܩܘܪܝܐ ܕܩܤܪܝܐ ܕܦܝܠܝܦܘܤ ܘܡܫܐܠ ܗܘܐ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܒܐܘܪܚܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܢܘ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܥܠܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܕܐܝܬܝ
28 "John the Baptist," they replied, "but others say Elijah, and others, that it is one of the Prophets."
ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪܘ ܕܝܘܚܢܢ ܡܥܡܕܢܐ ܘܐܚܪܢܐ ܕܐܠܝܐ ܘܐܚܪܢܐ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܢܒܝܐ
29 Then He asked them pointedly, "But you yourselves, who do you say that I am?" "You are the Christ," answered Peter.
ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܢܘ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܥܠܝ ܕܐܝܬܝ ܥܢܐ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܢܬ ܗܘ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܚܝܐ
30 And He strictly forbad them to tell this about Him to any one.
ܘܟܐܐ ܒܗܘܢ ܕܠܐܢܫ ܠܐ ܢܐܡܪܘܢ ܥܠܘܗܝ
31 And now for the first time He told them, "The Son of Man must endure much suffering, and be rejected by the Elders and the High Priests and the Scribes, and be put to death, and after two days rise to life."
ܘܫܪܝ ܗܘܐ ܠܡܠܦܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܥܬܝܕ ܗܘ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܕܢܚܫ ܤܓܝ ܘܕܢܤܬܠܐ ܡܢ ܩܫܝܫܐ ܘܡܢ ܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܘܡܢ ܤܦܪܐ ܘܢܬܩܛܠ ܘܠܬܠܬܐ ܝܘܡܝܢ ܢܩܘܡ
32 This He told them plainly; whereupon Peter took Him and began to remonstrate with Him.
ܘܥܝܢ ܒܓܠܐ ܡܠܬܐ ܡܡܠܠ ܗܘܐ ܘܕܒܪܗ ܟܐܦܐ ܘܫܪܝ ܠܡܟܐܐ ܒܗ
33 But turning round and seeing His disciples, He rebuked Peter. "Get behind me, Adversary," He said, "for your thoughts are not God's thoughts, but men's."
ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܬܦܢܝ ܘܚܪ ܒܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܟܐܐ ܒܫܡܥܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܙܠ ܠܟ ܠܒܤܬܪܝ ܤܛܢܐ ܕܠܐ ܪܢܐ ܐܢܬ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܠܐ ܕܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ
34 Then calling to Him the crowd and also His disciples, He said to them, "If any one is desirous of following me, let him ignore self and take up his cross, and so be my follower.
ܘܩܪܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܟܢܫܐ ܥܡ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܢ ܕܨܒܐ ܕܢܐܬܐ ܒܬܪܝ ܢܟܦܘܪ ܒܢܦܫܗ ܘܢܫܩܘܠ ܙܩܝܦܗ ܘܢܐܬܐ ܒܬܪܝ
35 For whoever is bent on securing his life will lose it, but he who loses his life for my sake, and for the sake of the Good News, will secure it.
ܟܠ ܡܢ ܕܨܒܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܢܚܐ ܢܦܫܗ ܢܘܒܕܝܗ ܘܟܠ ܕܢܘܒܕ ܢܦܫܗ ܡܛܠܬܝ ܘܡܛܠ ܤܒܪܬܝ ܢܚܝܗ
36 Why, what does it benefit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his life?
ܡܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܢܬܥܕܪ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܐܢ ܥܠܡܐ ܟܠܗ ܢܐܬܪ ܘܢܦܫܗ ܢܚܤܪ
37 For what could a man give to buy back his life?
ܐܘ ܡܢܐ ܢܬܠ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܬܚܠܘܦܐ ܕܢܦܫܗ
38 Every one, however, who has been ashamed of me and of my teachings in this faithless and sinful age, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in His Father's glory with the holy angels."
ܟܠ ܓܝܪ ܕܢܒܗܬ ܒܝ ܘܒܡܠܝ ܒܫܪܒܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܚܛܝܬܐ ܘܓܝܪܬܐ ܘܐܦ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܢܒܗܬ ܒܗ ܡܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܒܫܘܒܚܐ ܕܐܒܘܗܝ ܥܡ ܡܠܐܟܘܗܝ ܩܕܝܫܐ
