John 7

1 After this, Jesus traveled throughout Galilee. He did not want to travel in Judea, because the Jews there were trying to kill Him.

1 وَكَانَ يَسُوعُ يَتَرَدَّدُ بَعْدَ هَذَا فِي ٱلْجَلِيلِ، لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يُرِدْ أَنْ يَتَرَدَّدَ فِي ٱلْيَهُودِيَّةِ لِأَنَّ ٱلْيَهُودَ كَانُوا يَطْلُبُونَ أَنْ يَقْتُلُوهُ.

2 However, the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles was near.

2 وَكَانَ عِيدُ ٱلْيَهُودِ، عِيدُ ٱلْمَظَالِّ، قَرِيبًا.

3 So Jesus’ brothers said to Him, “Leave here and go to Judea, so that Your disciples there may see the works You are doing.

3 فَقَالَ لَهُ إِخْوَتُهُ: «ٱنْتَقِلْ مِنْ هُنَا وَٱذْهَبْ إِلَى ٱلْيَهُودِيَّةِ، لِكَيْ يَرَى تَلَامِيذُكَ أَيْضًا أَعْمَالَكَ ٱلَّتِي تَعْمَلُ،

4 For no one who wants to be known publicly acts in secret. Since You are doing these things, show Yourself to the world.”

4 لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ يَعْمَلُ شَيْئًا فِي ٱلْخَفَاءِ وَهُوَ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَكُونَ عَلَانِيَةً. إِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْمَلُ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَشْيَاءَ فَأَظْهِرْ نَفْسَكَ لِلْعَالَمِ».

5 For even His own brothers did not believe in Him.

5 لِأَنَّ إِخْوَتَهُ أَيْضًا لَمْ يَكُونُوا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِ.

6 Therefore Jesus told them, “Although your time is always at hand, My time has not yet come.

6 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «إِنَّ وَقْتِي لَمْ يَحْضُرْ بَعْدُ، وَأَمَّا وَقْتُكُمْ فَفِي كُلِّ حِينٍ حَاضِرٌ.

7 The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me, because I testify that its works are evil.

7 لَا يَقْدِرُ ٱلْعَالَمُ أَنْ يُبْغِضَكُمْ، وَلَكِنَّهُ يُبْغِضُنِي أَنَا، لِأَنِّي أَشْهَدُ عَلَيْهِ أَنَّ أَعْمَالَهُ شِرِّيرَةٌ.

8 Go up to the feast on your own. I am not going up to this feast, because My time has not yet come.”

8 اِصْعَدُوا أَنْتُمْ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْعِيدِ. أَنَا لَسْتُ أَصْعَدُ بَعْدُ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْعِيدِ، لِأَنَّ وَقْتِي لَمْ يُكْمَلْ بَعْدُ».

9 Having said this, Jesus remained in Galilee.

9 قَالَ لَهُمْ هَذَا وَمَكَثَ فِي ٱلْجَلِيلِ.

10 But after His brothers had gone up to the feast, He also went—not publicly, but in secret.

10 وَلَمَّا كَانَ إِخْوَتُهُ قَدْ صَعِدُوا، حِينَئِذٍ صَعِدَ هُوَ أَيْضًا إِلَى ٱلْعِيدِ، لَا ظَاهِرًا بَلْ كَأَنَّهُ فِي ٱلْخَفَاءِ.

11 So the Jews were looking for Him at the feast and asking, “Where is He?”

11 فَكَانَ ٱلْيَهُودُ يَطْلُبُونَهُ فِي ٱلْعِيدِ، وَيَقُولُونَ: «أَيْنَ ذَاكَ؟».

12 Many in the crowds were whispering about Him. Some said, “He is a good man.” But others replied, “No, He deceives the people.”

12 وَكَانَ فِي ٱلْجُمُوعِ مُنَاجَاةٌ كَثِيرَةٌ مِنْ نَحْوِهِ. بَعْضُهُمْ يَقُولُونَ: «إِنَّهُ صَالِحٌ». وَآخَرُونَ يَقُولُونَ: «لَا، بَلْ يُضِلُّ ٱلشَّعْبَ».

13 Yet no one would speak publicly about Him for fear of the Jews.

13 وَلَكِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ أَحَدٌ يَتَكَلَّمُ عَنْهُ جِهَارًا لِسَبَبِ ٱلْخَوْفِ مِنَ ٱلْيَهُودِ.

14 About halfway through the feast, Jesus went up to the temple courts and began to teach.

14 وَلَمَّا كَانَ ٱلْعِيدُ قَدِ ٱنْتَصَفَ، صَعِدَ يَسُوعُ إِلَى ٱلْهَيْكَلِ، وَكَانَ يُعَلِّمُ.

15 The Jews were amazed and asked, “How did this man attain such learning without having studied?”

15 فَتَعَجَّبَ ٱلْيَهُودُ قَائِلِينَ: «كَيْفَ هَذَا يَعْرِفُ ٱلْكُتُبَ، وَهُوَ لَمْ يَتَعَلَّمْ؟».

16 “My teaching is not My own,” Jesus replied. “It comes from Him who sent Me.

16 أَجَابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ: «تَعْلِيمِي لَيْسَ لِي بَلْ لِلَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي.

17 If anyone desires to do His will, he will know whether My teaching is from God or whether I speak on My own.

17 إِنْ شَاءَ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يَعْمَلَ مَشِيئَتَهُ يَعْرِفُ ٱلتَّعْلِيمَ، هَلْ هُوَ مِنَ ٱللهِ، أَمْ أَتَكَلَّمُ أَنَا مِنْ نَفْسِي.

18 He who speaks on his own authority seeks his own glory, but He who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him is a man of truth; in Him there is no falsehood.

18 مَنْ يَتَكَلَّمُ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ يَطْلُبُ مَجْدَ نَفْسِهِ، وَأَمَّا مَنْ يَطْلُبُ مَجْدَ ٱلَّذِي أَرْسَلَهُ فَهُوَ صَادِقٌ وَلَيْسَ فِيهِ ظُلْمٌ.

19 Has not Moses given you the law? Yet not one of you keeps it. Why are you trying to kill Me?”

19 أَلَيْسَ مُوسَى قَدْ أَعْطَاكُمُ ٱلنَّامُوسَ؟ وَلَيْسَ أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ يَعْمَلُ ٱلنَّامُوسَ! لِمَاذَا تَطْلُبُونَ أَنْ تَقْتُلُونِي؟»

20 “You have a demon,” the crowd replied. “Who is trying to kill You?”

20 أَجَابَ ٱلْجَمْعُ وَقَالُوا: «بِكَ شَيْطَانٌ. مَنْ يَطْلُبُ أَنْ يَقْتُلَكَ؟».

21 Jesus answered them, “I did one miracle, and you are all amazed.

21 أَجَابَ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «عَمَلًا وَاحِدًا عَمِلْتُ فَتَتَعَجَّبُونَ جَمِيعًا.

22 But because Moses gave you circumcision, you circumcise a boy on the Sabbath (not that it is from Moses, but from the patriarchs.)

22 لِهَذَا أَعْطَاكُمْ مُوسَى ٱلْخِتَانَ، لَيْسَ أَنَّهُ مِنْ مُوسَى، بَلْ مِنَ ٱلْآبَاءِ. فَفِي ٱلسَّبْتِ تَخْتِنُونَ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ.

23 If a boy can be circumcised on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses will not be broken, why are you angry with Me for making the whole man well on the Sabbath?

23 فَإِنْ كَانَ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ يَقْبَلُ ٱلْخِتَانَ فِي ٱلسَّبْتِ، لِئَلَّا يُنْقَضَ نَامُوسُ مُوسَى، أَفَتَسْخَطُونَ عَلَيَّ لِأَنِّي شَفَيْتُ إِنْسَانًا كُلَّهُ فِي ٱلسَّبْتِ؟

24 Stop judging by outward appearances, and start judging justly.”

24 لَا تَحْكُمُوا حَسَبَ ٱلظَّاهِرِ بَلِ ٱحْكُمُوا حُكْمًا عَادِلًا».

25 Then some of the people of Jerusalem began to say, “Isn’t this the man they are trying to kill?

25 فَقَالَ قَوْمٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ أُورُشَلِيمَ: «أَلَيْسَ هَذَا هُوَ ٱلَّذِي يَطْلُبُونَ أَنْ يَقْتُلُوهُ؟

26 Yet here He is, speaking publicly, and they are not saying anything to Him. Have the rulers truly recognized that this is the Christ?

26 وَهَا هُوَ يَتَكَلَّمُ جِهَارًا وَلَا يَقُولُونَ لَهُ شَيْئًا! أَلَعَلَّ ٱلرُّؤَسَاءَ عَرَفُوا يَقِينًا أَنَّ هَذَا هُوَ ٱلْمَسِيحُ حَقًّا؟

27 But we know where this man is from. When the Christ comes, no one will know where He is from.”

27 وَلَكِنَّ هَذَا نَعْلَمُ مِنْ أَيْنَ هُوَ، وَأَمَّا ٱلْمَسِيحُ فَمَتَى جَاءَ لَا يَعْرِفُ أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَيْنَ هُوَ».

28 Then Jesus, still teaching in the temple courts, cried out, “You know Me, and you know where I am from. I have not come of My own accord, but He who sent Me is true. You do not know Him,

28 فَنَادَى يَسُوعُ وَهُوَ يُعَلِّمُ فِي ٱلْهَيْكَلِ قَائِلًا: «تَعْرِفُونَنِي وَتَعْرِفُونَ مِنْ أَيْنَ أَنَا، وَمِنْ نَفْسِي لَمْ آتِ، بَلِ ٱلَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي هُوَ حَقٌّ، ٱلَّذِي أَنْتُمْ لَسْتُمْ تَعْرِفُونَهُ.

29 but I know Him, because I am from Him and He sent Me.”

29 أَنَا أَعْرِفُهُ لِأَنِّي مِنْهُ، وَهُوَ أَرْسَلَنِي».

30 So they tried to seize Him, but no one laid a hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come.

30 فَطَلَبُوا أَنْ يُمْسِكُوهُ، وَلَمْ يُلْقِ أَحَدٌ يَدًا عَلَيْهِ، لِأَنَّ سَاعَتَهُ لَمْ تَكُنْ قَدْ جَاءَتْ بَعْدُ.

31 Many in the crowd, however, believed in Him and said, “When the Christ comes, will He perform more signs than this man?”

31 فَآمَنَ بِهِ كَثِيرُونَ مِنَ ٱلْجَمْعِ، وَقَالُوا: «أَلَعَلَّ ٱلْمَسِيحَ مَتَى جَاءَ يَعْمَلُ آيَاتٍ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ هَذِهِ ٱلَّتِي عَمِلَهَا هَذَا؟».

32 When the Pharisees heard the crowd whispering these things about Jesus, they and the chief priests sent officers to arrest Him.

32 سَمِعَ ٱلْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ ٱلْجَمْعَ يَتَنَاجَوْنَ بِهَذَا مِنْ نَحْوِهِ، فَأَرْسَلَ ٱلْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ وَرُؤَسَاءُ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ خُدَّامًا لِيُمْسِكُوهُ.

33 So Jesus said, “I am with you only a little while longer, and then I am going to the One who sent Me.

33 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «أَنَا مَعَكُمْ زَمَانًا يَسِيرًا بَعْدُ، ثُمَّ أَمْضِي إِلَى ٱلَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي.

34 You will look for Me, but you will not find Me; and where I am, you cannot come.”

34 سَتَطْلُبُونَنِي وَلَا تَجِدُونَنِي، وَحَيْثُ أَكُونُ أَنَا لَا تَقْدِرُونَ أَنْتُمْ أَنْ تَأْتُوا».

35 At this, the Jews said to one another, “Where does He intend to go that we will not find Him? Will He go where the Jews are dispersed among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?

35 فَقَالَ ٱلْيَهُودُ فِيمَا بَيْنَهُمْ: «إِلَى أَيْنَ هَذَا مُزْمِعٌ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ حَتَّى لَا نَجِدَهُ نَحْنُ؟ أَلَعَلَّهُ مُزْمِعٌ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ إِلَى شَتَاتِ ٱلْيُونَانِيِّينَ وَيُعَلِّمَ ٱلْيُونَانِيِّينَ؟

36 What does He mean by saying, ‘You will look for Me, but you will not find Me,’ and, ‘Where I am, you cannot come’?”

36 مَا هَذَا ٱلْقَوْلُ ٱلَّذِي قَالَ: سَتَطْلُبُونَنِي وَلَا تَجِدُونَنِي، وَحَيْثُ أَكُونُ أَنَا لَا تَقْدِرُونَ أَنْتُمْ أَنْ تَأْتُوا؟».

37 On the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood up and called out in a loud voice, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink.

37 وَفِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْأَخِيرِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ مِنَ ٱلْعِيدِ وَقَفَ يَسُوعُ وَنَادَى قَائِلًا: «إِنْ عَطِشَ أَحَدٌ فَلْيُقْبِلْ إِلَيَّ وَيَشْرَبْ.

38 Whoever believes in Me, as the Scripture has said: ‘Streams of living water will flow from within him.’”

38 مَنْ آمَنَ بِي، كَمَا قَالَ ٱلْكِتَابُ، تَجْرِي مِنْ بَطْنِهِ أَنْهَارُ مَاءٍ حَيٍّ».

39 He was speaking about the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were later to receive. For the Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.

39 قَالَ هَذَا عَنِ ٱلرُّوحِ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِ مُزْمِعِينَ أَنْ يَقْبَلُوهُ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرُّوحَ ٱلْقُدُسَ لَمْ يَكُنْ قَدْ أُعْطِيَ بَعْدُ، لِأَنَّ يَسُوعَ لَمْ يَكُنْ قَدْ مُجِّدَ بَعْدُ.

40 On hearing these words, some of the people said, “This is truly the Prophet.”

40 فَكَثِيرُونَ مِنَ ٱلْجَمْعِ لَمَّا سَمِعُوا هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامَ قَالُوا: «هَذَا بِٱلْحَقِيقَةِ هُوَ ٱلنَّبِيُّ».

41 Others declared, “This is the Christ.” But still others asked, “How can the Christ come from Galilee?

41 آخَرُونَ قَالُوا: «هَذَا هُوَ ٱلْمَسِيحُ!». وَآخَرُونَ قَالُوا: «أَلَعَلَّ ٱلْمَسِيحَ مِنَ ٱلْجَلِيلِ يَأْتِي؟

42 Doesn’t the Scripture say that the Christ will come from the line of David and from Bethlehem, the village where David lived?”

42 أَلَمْ يَقُلِ ٱلْكِتَابُ إِنَّهُ مِنْ نَسْلِ دَاوُدَ، وَمِنْ بَيْتِ لَحْمٍ، ٱلْقَرْيَةِ ٱلَّتِي كَانَ دَاوُدُ فِيهَا، يَأْتِي ٱلْمَسِيحُ؟».

43 So there was division in the crowd because of Jesus.

43 فَحَدَثَ ٱنْشِقَاقٌ فِي ٱلْجَمْعِ لِسَبَبِهِ.

44 Some of them wanted to seize Him, but no one laid a hand on Him.

44 وَكَانَ قَوْمٌ مِنْهُمْ يُرِيدُونَ أَنْ يُمْسِكُوهُ، وَلَكِنْ لَمْ يُلْقِ أَحَدٌ عَلَيْهِ ٱلْأَيَادِيَ.

45 Then the officers returned to the chief priests and Pharisees, who asked them, “Why didn’t you bring Him in?”

45 فَجَاءَ ٱلْخُدَّامُ إِلَى رُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَٱلْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ. فَقَالَ هَؤُلَاءِ لَهُمْ: «لِمَاذَا لَمْ تَأْتُوا بِهِ؟».

46 “Never has anyone spoken like this man!” the officers answered.

46 أَجَابَ ٱلْخُدَّامُ: «لَمْ يَتَكَلَّمْ قَطُّ إِنْسَانٌ هَكَذَا مِثْلَ هَذَا ٱلْإِنْسَانِ!».

47 “Have you also been deceived?” replied the Pharisees.

47 فَأَجَابَهُمُ ٱلْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ: «أَلَعَلَّكُمْ أَنْتُمْ أَيْضًا قَدْ ضَلَلْتُمْ؟

48 “Have any of the rulers or Pharisees believed in Him?

48 أَلَعَلَّ أَحَدًا مِنَ ٱلرُّؤَسَاءِ أَوْ مِنَ ٱلْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ آمَنَ بِهِ؟

49 But this crowd that does not know the law—they are under a curse.”

49 وَلَكِنَّ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبَ ٱلَّذِي لَا يَفْهَمُ ٱلنَّامُوسَ هُوَ مَلْعُونٌ».

50 Nicodemus, who had gone to Jesus earlier and who himself was one of them, asked,

50 قَالَ لَهُمْ نِيقُودِيمُوسُ، ٱلَّذِي جَاءَ إِلَيْهِ لَيْلًا، وَهُوَ وَاحِدٌ مِنْهُمْ:

51 “Does our law convict a man without first hearing from him to determine what he has done?”

51 «أَلَعَلَّ نَامُوسَنَا يَدِينُ إِنْسَانًا لَمْ يَسْمَعْ مِنْهُ أَوَّلًا وَيَعْرِفْ مَاذَا فَعَلَ؟».

52 “Aren’t you also from Galilee?” they replied. “Look into it, and you will see that no prophet comes out of Galilee.”

52 أَجَابُوا وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «أَلَعَلَّكَ أَنْتَ أَيْضًا مِنَ ٱلْجَلِيلِ؟ فَتِّشْ وَٱنْظُرْ! إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَقُمْ نَبِيٌّ مِنَ ٱلْجَلِيلِ».

53 Then each went to his own home.

53 فَمَضَى كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ.
