< Matthew 8 >

1 Upon descending from the hill country He was followed by immense crowds.
ܟܕ ܢܚܬ ܕܝܢ ܡܢ ܛܘܪܐ ܢܩܦܘܗܝ ܟܢܫܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ
2 And a leper came to Him, and throwing himself at His feet, said, "Sir, if only you are willing you are able to cleanse me."
ܘܗܐ ܓܪܒܐ ܚܕ ܐܬܐ ܤܓܕ ܠܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܪܝ ܐܢ ܨܒܐ ܐܢܬ ܡܫܟܚ ܐܢܬ ܠܡܕܟܝܘܬܝ
3 So Jesus put out His hand and touched him, and said, "I am willing: be cleansed." Instantly he was cleansed from his leprosy;
ܘܦܫܛ ܐܝܕܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܩܪܒ ܠܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܨܒܐ ܐܢܐ ܐܬܕܟܐ ܘܒܗ ܒܫܥܬܐ ܐܬܕܟܝ ܓܪܒܗ
4 and Jesus said to him, "Be careful to tell no one, but go and show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift which Moses appointed as evidence for them."
ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܚܙܝ ܠܡܐ ܠܐܢܫ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܬ ܐܠܐ ܙܠ ܚܘܐ ܢܦܫܟ ܠܟܗܢܐ ܘܩܪܒ ܩܘܪܒܢܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܦܩܕ ܡܘܫܐ ܠܤܗܕܘܬܗܘܢ
5 After His entry into Capernaum a Captain came to Him, and entreated Him.
ܟܕ ܥܠ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܟܦܪܢܚܘܡ ܩܪܒ ܠܗ ܩܢܛܪܘܢܐ ܚܕ ܘܒܥܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܢܗ
6 "Sir," he said, "my servant at home is lying ill with paralysis, and is suffering great pain."
ܘܐܡܪ ܡܪܝ ܛܠܝܝ ܪܡܐ ܒܒܝܬܐ ܘܡܫܪܝ ܘܒܝܫܐܝܬ ܡܫܬܢܩ
7 "I will come and cure him," said Jesus.
ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܢܐ ܐܬܐ ܘܐܤܝܘܗܝ
8 "Sir," replied the Captain, "I am not a fit person to receive you under my roof: merely say the word, and my servant will be cured.
ܥܢܐ ܩܢܛܪܘܢܐ ܗܘ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܪܝ ܠܐ ܫܘܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܬܥܘܠ ܬܚܝܬ ܡܛܠܠܝ ܐܠܐ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܐܡܪ ܒܡܠܬܐ ܘܢܬܐܤܐ ܛܠܝܝ
9 For I myself am also under authority, and have soldiers under me. To one I say 'Go,' and he goes, to another 'Come,' and he comes, and to my slave 'Do this or that,' and he does it."
ܐܦ ܐܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܓܒܪܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܬܚܝܬ ܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܘܐܝܬ ܬܚܝܬ ܐܝܕܝ ܐܤܛܪܛܝܘܛܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܗܢܐ ܕܙܠ ܘܐܙܠ ܘܠܐܚܪܢܐ ܕܬܐ ܘܐܬܐ ܘܠܥܒܕܝ ܕܥܒܕ ܗܕܐ ܘܥܒܕ
10 Jesus listened to this reply, and was astonished, and said to the people following Him, "I solemnly tell you that in no Israelite have I found faith as great as this.
ܟܕ ܫܡܥ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܬܕܡܪ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܕܐܬܝܢ ܥܡܗ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܐܦ ܠܐ ܒܐܝܤܪܐܝܠ ܐܫܟܚܬ ܐܝܟ ܗܕܐ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ
11 And I tell you that many will come from the east and from the west and will recline at table with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the Kingdom of the Heavens,
ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܤܓܝܐܐ ܢܐܬܘܢ ܡܢ ܡܕܢܚܐ ܘܡܢ ܡܥܪܒܐ ܘܢܤܬܡܟܘܢ ܥܡ ܐܒܪܗܡ ܘܐܝܤܚܩ ܘܝܥܩܘܒ ܒܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܫܡܝܐ
12 while the natural heirs of the Kingdom will be driven out into the darkness outside: there will be the weeping aloud and the gnashing of teeth."
ܒܢܝܗ ܕܝܢ ܕܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܢܦܩܘܢ ܠܚܫܘܟܐ ܒܪܝܐ ܬܡܢ ܢܗܘܐ ܒܟܝܐ ܘܚܘܪܩ ܫܢܐ
13 And Jesus said to the Captain, "Go, and just as you have believed, so be it for you." And the servant recovered precisely at that time.
ܘܐܡܪ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܩܢܛܪܘܢܐ ܗܘ ܙܠ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܗܝܡܢܬ ܢܗܘܐ ܠܟ ܘܐܬܐܤܝ ܛܠܝܗ ܒܗ ܒܫܥܬܐ
14 After this Jesus went to the house of Peter, whose mother-in-law he found ill in bed with fever.
ܘܐܬܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܒܝܬܗ ܕܫܡܥܘܢ ܘܚܙܐ ܠܚܡܬܗ ܕܪܡܝܐ ܘܐܚܝܕܐ ܠܗ ܐܫܬܐ
15 He touched her hand and the fever left her: and then she rose and waited upon Him.
ܘܩܪܒ ܠܐܝܕܗ ܘܫܒܩܬܗ ܐܫܬܐ ܘܩܡܬ ܘܡܫܡܫܐ ܗܘܬ ܠܗ
16 In the evening many demoniacs were brought to Him, and with a word He expelled the demons; and He cured all the sick,
ܟܕ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܪܡܫܐ ܩܪܒܘ ܩܕܡܘܗܝ ܕܝܘܢܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܘܐܦܩ ܕܝܘܝܗܘܢ ܒܡܠܬܐ ܘܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܒܝܫܐܝܬ ܥܒܝܕܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܐܤܝ ܐܢܘܢ
17 in order that this prediction of the Prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled, "He took on Him our weaknesses, and bore the burden of our diseases."
ܐܝܟ ܕܢܬܡܠܐ ܡܕܡ ܕܐܬܐܡܪ ܒܝܕ ܐܫܥܝܐ ܢܒܝܐ ܕܐܡܪ ܕܗܘ ܢܤܒ ܟܐܒܝܢ ܘܟܘܪܗܢܝܢ ܢܛܥܢ
18 Seeing great crowds about Him Jesus had given directions to cross to the other side of the Lake,
ܟܕ ܚܙܐ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܟܢܫܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܕܚܕܝܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܦܩܕ ܕܢܐܙܠܘܢ ܠܥܒܪܐ
19 when a Scribe came and said to Him, "Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go."
ܘܩܪܒ ܤܦܪܐ ܚܕ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܪܒܝ ܐܬܐ ܒܬܪܟ ܠܐܬܪ ܕܐܙܠ ܐܢܬ
20 "Foxes have holes," replied Jesus, "and birds have nests; but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head."
ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܬܥܠܐ ܢܩܥܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܘܠܦܪܚܬܐ ܕܫܡܝܐ ܡܛܠܠܐ ܒܪܗ ܕܝܢ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܠܝܬ ܠܗ ܐܝܟܐ ܕܢܤܡܘܟ ܪܫܗ
21 Another of the disciples said to Him, "Sir, allow me first to go and bury my father."
ܐܚܪܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܪܝ ܐܦܤ ܠܝ ܠܘܩܕܡ ܐܙܠ ܐܩܒܘܪ ܐܒܝ
22 "Follow me," said Jesus, "and leave the dead to bury their own dead."
ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܬܐ ܒܬܪܝ ܘܫܒܘܩ ܠܡܝܬܐ ܩܒܪܝܢ ܡܝܬܝܗܘܢ
23 Then He went on board a fishing-boat, and His disciples followed Him.
ܘܟܕ ܤܠܩ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܤܦܝܢܬܐ ܤܠܩܘ ܥܡܗ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ
24 But suddenly there arose a great storm on the Lake, so that the waves threatened to engulf the boat; but He was asleep.
ܘܗܐ ܙܘܥܐ ܪܒܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܝܡܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܠܦܐ ܬܬܟܤܐ ܡܢ ܓܠܠܐ ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܕܡܝܟ ܗܘܐ
25 So they came and woke Him, crying, "Master, save us, we are drowning!"
ܘܩܪܒܘ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܐܥܝܪܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܡܪܢ ܦܨܢ ܐܒܕܝܢ ܚܢܢ
26 "Why are you so easily frightened," He replied, "you men of little faith?" Then He rose and reproved the winds and the waves, and there was a perfect calm;
ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܡܢܐ ܕܚܘܠܬܢܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܙܥܘܪܝ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܗܝܕܝܢ ܩܡ ܘܟܐܐ ܒܪܘܚܐ ܘܒܝܡܐ ܘܗܘܐ ܫܠܝܐ ܪܒܐ
27 and the men, filled with amazement, exclaimed, "What kind of man is this? for the very winds and waves obey him!"
ܐܢܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܬܕܡܪܘ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܡܢܘ ܗܢܐ ܕܪܘܚܐ ܘܝܡܐ ܡܫܬܡܥܝܢ ܠܗ
28 On His arrival at the other side, in the country of the Gadarenes, there met Him two men possessed by demons, coming from among the tombs: they were so dangerously fierce that no one was able to pass that way.
ܘܟܕ ܐܬܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܥܒܪܐ ܠܐܬܪܐ ܕܓܕܪܝܐ ܐܪܥܘܗܝ ܬܪܝܢ ܕܝܘܢܐ ܕܢܦܩܝܢ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܩܒܘܪܐ ܒܝܫܐ ܕܛܒ ܐܝܟ ܕܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܢܫܟܚ ܢܥܒܪ ܒܗܝ ܐܘܪܚܐ
29 They cried aloud, "What hast Thou to do with us, Thou Son of God? Hast Thou come here to torment us before the time?"
ܘܩܥܘ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܡܐ ܠܢ ܘܠܟ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܬܝܬ ܠܟܐ ܩܕܡ ܙܒܢܐ ܕܬܫܢܩܢ
30 Now at some distance from them a vast herd of swine were feeding.
ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܠܗܠ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܒܩܪܐ ܕܚܙܝܪܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܕܪܥܝܐ
31 So the demons entreated Him. "If Thou drivest us out," they said, "send us into the herd of swine."
ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܫܐܕܐ ܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܢܗ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܐܢ ܡܦܩ ܐܢܬ ܠܢ ܐܦܤ ܠܢ ܕܢܐܙܠ ܠܒܩܪܐ ܕܚܙܝܪܐ
32 "Go," He replied. Then they came out from the men and went into the swine, whereupon the entire herd instantly rushed down the cliff into the Lake and perished in the water.
ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܙܠܘ ܘܡܚܕܐ ܢܦܩܘ ܘܥܠܘ ܒܚܙܝܪܐ ܘܟܠܗ ܒܩܪܐ ܗܝ ܬܪܨܬ ܠܥܠ ܠܫܩܝܦܐ ܘܢܦܠܘ ܒܝܡܐ ܘܡܝܬܘ ܒܡܝܐ
33 The swineherds fled, and went and told the whole story in the town, including what had happened to the demoniacs.
ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܪܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܪܩܘ ܘܐܙܠܘ ܠܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܘܚܘܝܘ ܟܠܡܕܡ ܕܗܘܐ ܘܕܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܘܢܐ
34 So at once the whole population came out to meet Jesus; and when they saw Him, they besought Him to leave their country.
ܘܢܦܩܬ ܟܠܗ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܠܐܘܪܥܗ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܘܟܕ ܚܙܐܘܗܝ ܒܥܘ ܡܢܗ ܕܢܫܢܐ ܡܢ ܬܚܘܡܝܗܘܢ
