Mark 4
1 Again he began to teach by the seaside. A great multitude was gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat in the sea and sat down. All the multitude were on the land by the sea.
| ثُمَّ أَخَذَ يُعَلِّمُ ثَانِيَةً عِنْدَ شَاطِئِ الْبُحَيْرَةِ، وَقَدِ احْتَشَدَ حَوْلَهُ جَمْعٌ كَبِيرٌ، حَتَّى إِنَّهُ صَعِدَ إِلَى الْقَارِبِ وَجَلَسَ فِيهِ فَوْقَ الْمَاءِ، فِيمَا كَانَ الْجَمْعُ كُلُّهُ عَلَى شَاطِئِ الْبُحَيْرَةِ. | ١ |
2 He taught them many things in parables, and told them in his teaching,
| فَعَلَّمَهُمْ أُمُوراً كَثِيرَةً بِالأَمْثَالِ. وَمِمَّا قَالَهُ لَهُمْ فِي تَعْلِيمِهِ: | ٢ |
3 “Listen! Behold, the farmer went out to sow.
| «اِسْمَعُوا! هَا إِنَّ الزَّارِعَ قَدْ خَرَجَ لِيَزْرَعَ. | ٣ |
4 As he sowed, some seed fell by the road, and the birds came and devoured it.
| وَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ يَزْرَعُ، وَقَعَ بَعْضُ الْبِذَارِ عَلَى الْمَمَرَّاتِ، فَجَاءَتِ الطُّيُورُ وَالْتَهَمَتْهُ. | ٤ |
5 Others fell on the rocky ground, where it had little soil, and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of soil.
| وَوَقَعَ بَعْضُهُ عَلَى أَرْضٍ صَخْرِيَّةٍ رَقِيقَةِ التُّرْبَةِ، فَنَمَا سَرِيعاً لأَنَّ تُرْبَتَهُ لَمْ تَكُنْ عَمِيقَةً. | ٥ |
6 When the sun had risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
| وَلكِنْ لَمَّا أَشْرَقَتِ الشَّمْسُ، احْتَرَقَ وَيَبِسَ لأَنَّهُ كَانَ بِلا أَصْلٍ. | ٦ |
7 Others fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
| وَوَقَعَ بَعْضُ الْبِذَارِ بَيْنَ الأَشْوَاكِ، فَنَبَتَ الشَّوْكُ وَخَنَقَهُ، فَلَمْ يُثْمِرْ. | ٧ |
8 Others fell into the good ground and yielded fruit, growing up and increasing. Some produced thirty times, some sixty times, and some one hundred times as much.”
| وَبَعْضُ الْبِذَارِ وَقَعَ فِي الأَرْضِ الْجَيِّدَةِ، فَنَبَتَ وَنَمَا وَأَثْمَرَ، فَأَعْطَى بَعْضُهُ ثَلاثِينَ ضِعْفاً، وَبَعْضُهُ سِتِّينَ، وَبَعْضُهُ مِئَةً». | ٨ |
9 He said, “Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.”
| ثُمَّ قَالَ: «مَنْ لَهُ أُذُنَانِ لِلسَّمْعِ، فَلْيَسْمَعْ!» | ٩ |
10 When he was alone, those who were around him with the twelve asked him about the parables.
| وَعِنْدَمَا كَانَ يَسُوعُ وَحْدَهُ، سَأَلَهُ الَّذِينَ حَوْلَهُ وَالاِثْنَا عَشَرَ عَنْ مَغْزَى الْمَثَلِ. | ١٠ |
11 He said to them, “To you is given the mystery of God’s Kingdom, but to those who are outside, all things are done in parables,
| فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «قَدْ أُعْطِيَ لَكُمْ أَنْ تَعْرِفُوا سِرَّ مَلَكُوتِ اللهِ. أَمَّا الَّذِينَ مِنْ خَارِجٍ، فَكُلُّ شَيْءٍ يُقَدَّمُ لَهُمْ بِالأَمْثَالِ، | ١١ |
12 that ‘seeing they may see and not perceive, and hearing they may hear and not understand, lest perhaps they should turn again, and their sins should be forgiven them.’”
| حَتَّى إِنَّهُمْ: نَظَراً يَنْظُرُونَ وَلا يُبْصِرُونَ، وَسَمْعاً يَسْمَعُونَ وَلا يَفْهَمُونَ، لِئَلّا يَتُوبُوا فَتُغْفَرَ لَهُمْ خَطَايَاهُمْ!» | ١٢ |
13 He said to them, “Don’t you understand this parable? How will you understand all of the parables?
| وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَلَمْ تَفْهَمُوا هَذَا الْمَثَلَ؟ فَكَيْفَ تَفْهَمُونَ جَمِيعَ الأَمْثَالِ الأُخْرَى؟ | ١٣ |
14 The farmer sows the word.
| إِنَّ الزَّارِعَ يَزْرَعُ كَلِمَةَ اللهِ. | ١٤ |
15 The ones by the road are the ones where the word is sown; and when they have heard, immediately Satan comes and takes away the word which has been sown in them.
| وَهؤُلاءِ الَّذِينَ عَلَى الْمَمَرَّاتِ حَيْثُ تُزْرَعُ الْكَلِمَةُ، هُمُ الَّذِينَ حَالَمَا يَسْمَعُونَ يَأْتِي الشَّيْطَانُ وَيَخْطَفُ الْكَلِمَةَ الَّتِي زُرِعَتْ فِيهِمْ. | ١٥ |
16 These in the same way are those who are sown on the rocky places, who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with joy.
| وَكَذلِكَ هؤُلاءِ الَّذِينَ تُزْرَعُ فِيهِمِ الكَلِمَةُ عَلَى أَرْضٍ صَخْرِيَّةٍ، وَهُمُ الَّذِينَ حَالَمَا يَسْمَعُونَ الْكَلِمَةَ يَقْبَلُونَهَا بِفَرَحٍ، | ١٦ |
17 They have no root in themselves, but are short-lived. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they stumble.
| وَلا أَصْلَ لَهُمْ فِي ذَوَاتِهِمْ، وَإِنَّمَا هُمْ إِلَى حِينٍ. فَحَالَمَا يَحْدُثُ ضِيقٌ أَوِ اضْطِهَادٌ مِنْ أَجْلِ الْكَلِمَةِ، يَتَعَثَّرُونَ. | ١٧ |
18 Others are those who are sown among the thorns. These are those who have heard the word,
| وَالآخَرُونَ الَّذِينَ تُزْرَعُ فِيهِمِ الْكَلِمَةُ بَيْنَ الأَشْوَاكِ، هؤُلاءِ هُمُ الَّذِينَ قَدْ سَمِعُوا الْكَلِمَةَ، | ١٨ |
19 and the cares of this age, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
| وَلكِنَّ هُمُومَ الزَّمَانِ الْحَاضِرِ وَخِدَاعَ الْغِنَى وَاشْتِهَاءَ الأُمُورِ الأُخْرَى، تَدْخُلُ إِلَيْهِمْ وَتَخْنُقُ الْكَلِمَةَ، فَتَصِيرُ بِلا ثَمَرٍ. (aiōn g165) | ١٩ |
20 Those which were sown on the good ground are those who hear the word, accept it, and bear fruit, some thirty times, some sixty times, and some one hundred times.”
| وَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ تُزْرَعُ فِيهِمِ الْكَلِمَةُ فِي الأَرْضِ الْجَيِّدَةِ، فَهؤُلاءِ هُمُ الَّذِينَ يَسْمَعُونَ الْكَلِمَةَ وَيَقْبَلُونَهَا فَيُثْمِرُونَ، بَعْضُهُمْ ثَلاثِينَ ضِعْفاً وَبَعْضُهُمْ سِتِّينَ، وَبَعْضُهُمْ مِئَةً». | ٢٠ |
21 He said to them, “Is a lamp brought to be put under a basket or under a bed? Isn’t it put on a stand?
| وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «هَلْ يُؤْتَى بِالْمِصْبَاحِ لِيُوْضَعَ تَحْتَ الْمِكْيَالِ أَوْ تَحْتَ السَّرِيرِ؟ أَلَيْسَ لِيُوْضَعَ عَلَى الْمَنَارَةِ؟ | ٢١ |
22 For there is nothing hidden except that it should be made known, neither was anything made secret but that it should come to light.
| فَلَيْسَ مَخْفِيُّ إِلّا وَيُكْشَفُ، وَمَا كُتِمَ شَيْءٌ إِلا لِيُعْلَنَ! | ٢٢ |
23 If any man has ears to hear, let him hear.”
| مَنْ لَهُ أُذُنَانِ لِلسَّمْعِ، فَلْيَسْمَعْ!» | ٢٣ |
24 He said to them, “Take heed what you hear. With whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you; and more will be given to you who hear.
| وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «تَنَبَّهُوا لِمَا تَسْمَعُونَ. فَبِأَيِّ كَيْلٍ تَكِيلُونَ، يُكَالُ لَكُمْ وَيُزَادُ لَكُمْ. | ٢٤ |
25 For whoever has, to him more will be given; and he who doesn’t have, even that which he has will be taken away from him.”
| فَإِنَّ مَنْ عِنْدَهُ يُعْطَى الْمَزِيدُ، وَمَنْ لَيْسَ عِنْدَهُ، فَحَتَّى الَّذِي عِنْدَهُ يُنْتَزَعُ مِنْهُ». | ٢٥ |
26 He said, “God’s Kingdom is as if a man should cast seed on the earth,
| وَقَالَ: «إِنَّ مَلَكُوتَ اللهِ يُشَبَّهُ بِإِنْسَانٍ يُلْقِي الْبِذَارَ عَلَى الأَرْضِ، | ٢٦ |
27 and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should spring up and grow, though he doesn’t know how.
| ثُمَّ يَنَامُ لَيْلاً وَيَقُومُ نَهَاراً فِيمَا الْبِذَارُ يَطْلُعُ وَيَنْمُو، وَهُوَ لَا يَدْرِي كَيْفَ يَحْدُثُ الأَمْرُ. | ٢٧ |
28 For the earth bears fruit by itself: first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.
| فَالأَرْضُ مِنْ ذَاتِهَا تُعْطِي الثَّمَرَ، فَتُطْلِعُ أَوَّلاً عُشْبَةً، ثُمَّ سُنْبُلَةً، ثُمَّ قَمْحاً مِلْءَ السُّنْبُلَةِ. | ٢٨ |
29 But when the fruit is ripe, immediately he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.”
| وَلَكِنْ حَالَمَا يَنْضُجُ الثَّمَرُ، يُعْمِلُ فِيهِ الْمِنْجَلَ إِذْ يَكُونُ الْحَصَادُ قَدْ حَانَ». | ٢٩ |
30 He said, “How will we liken God’s Kingdom? Or with what parable will we illustrate it?
| وَقَالَ: «بِمَاذَا نُشَبِّهُ مَلَكُوتَ اللهِ، وَبِأَيِّ مَثَلٍ نُمَثِّلُهُ؟ | ٣٠ |
31 It’s like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, though it is less than all the seeds that are on the earth,
| إِنَّهُ يُشَبَّهُ بِبِزْرَةِ خَرْدَلٍ، تَكُونُ عِنْدَ بَذْرِهَا عَلَى الأَرْضِ أَصْغَرَ مِنْ كُلِّ مَا عَلَى الأَرْضِ مِنْ بُزُورٍ، | ٣١ |
32 yet when it is sown, grows up and becomes greater than all the herbs, and puts out great branches, so that the birds of the sky can lodge under its shadow.”
| وَلَكِنْ مَتَى تَمَّ زَرْعُهَا، تُطْلِعُ أَغْصَاناً كَبِيرَةً، حَتَّى إِنَّ طُيُورَ السَّمَاءِ تَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تَبِيتَ فِي ظِلِّهَا». | ٣٢ |
33 With many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it.
| بِكَثِيرٍ مِنْ مِثْلِ هذِهِ الأَمْثَالِ كَانَ يَسُوعُ يُكَلِّمُ الْجَمْعَ بِالْكَلِمَةِ، عَلَى قَدْرِ مَا كَانُوا يُطِيقُونَ أَنْ يَسْمَعُوا. | ٣٣ |
34 Without a parable he didn’t speak to them; but privately to his own disciples he explained everything.
| وَبِغَيْرِ مَثَلٍ لَمْ يَكُنْ يُكَلِّمُهُمْ. وَلكِنَّهُ كَانَ يُفَسِّرُ لِتَلامِيذِهِ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ حِينَ يَنْفَرِدُ بِهِمْ. | ٣٤ |
35 On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, “Let’s go over to the other side.”
| وَفِي ذلِكَ الْيَوْمِ، عِنْدَمَا حَلَّ الْمَسَاءُ، قَالَ لِتَلامِيذِهِ: «لِنَعْبُرْ إِلَى الضَّفَّةِ الْمُقَابِلَةِ!» | ٣٥ |
36 Leaving the multitude, they took him with them, even as he was, in the boat. Other small boats were also with him.
| فَلَمَّا صَرَفُوا الْجَمْعَ، أَخَذُوهُ مَعَهُمْ فِي الْقَارِبِ الَّذِي كَانَ فِيهِ. وَكَانَ مَعَهُ أَيْضاً قَوَارِبُ أُخْرَى. | ٣٦ |
37 A big wind storm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so much that the boat was already filled.
| فَهَبَّتْ عَاصِفَةُ رِيحٍ شَدِيدَةٌ، وَأَخَذَتِ الأَمْوَاجُ تَضْرِبُ الْقَارِبَ حَتَّى كَادَ يَمْتَلِىءُ مَاءً. | ٣٧ |
38 He himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion; and they woke him up and asked him, “Rabbi, don’t you care that we are dying?”
| وَكَانَ هُوَ فِي مُؤَخَّرِ الْقَارِبِ نَائِماً عَلَى وِسَادَةٍ. فَأَيْقَظُوهُ وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «يَا مُعَلِّمُ، أَمَا يَهُمُّكَ أَنَّنَا نَهْلِكُ؟» | ٣٨ |
39 He awoke and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” The wind ceased and there was a great calm.
| فَنَهَضَ، وَزَجَرَ الرِّيحَ، وَقَالَ لِلْبَحْرِ: «اصْمُتْ. اِخْرَسْ!» فَسَكَنَتِ الرِّيحُ وَسَادَ هُدُوءٌ تَامٌّ. | ٣٩ |
40 He said to them, “Why are you so afraid? How is it that you have no faith?”
| ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُمْ: «لِمَاذَا أَنْتُمْ خَائِفُونَ هكَذَا؟ كَيْفَ لَا إِيْمَانَ لَكُمْ؟» | ٤٠ |
41 They were greatly afraid and said to one another, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”
| فَخَافُوا خَوْفاً شَدِيداً، وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ: «مَنْ هُوَ هَذَا، حَتَّى إِنَّ الرِّيحَ وَالْبَحْرَ يُطِيعَانِهِ؟» | ٤١ |
