Luke 5

1 On one occasion, while Jesus was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret with the crowd pressing in on Him to hear the word of God,

1 وَبَيْنَمَا كَانَ الْجَمْعُ مُحْتَشِدِينَ حَوْلَهُ لِيَسْمَعُوا كَلِمَةَ اللهِ، كَانَ هُوَ وَاقِفاً عَلَى شَاطِئِ بُحَيْرَةِ جَنِّيسَارَتَ.

2 He saw two boats at the edge of the lake. The fishermen had left them and were washing their nets.

2 فَرَأَى قَارِبَيْنِ رَاسِيَيْنِ عَلَى جَانِبِ الْبُحَيْرَةِ وَقَدْ غَادَرَهُمَا الصَّيَّادُونَ، وَكَانُوا يَغْسِلُونَ الشِّبَاكَ.

3 Jesus got into the boat belonging to Simon and asked him to put out a little from shore. And sitting down, He taught the people from the boat.

3 فَرَكِبَ أَحَدَ الْقَارِبَيْنِ، وَكَانَ لِسِمْعَانَ، وَطَلَبَ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يَبْتَعِدَ قَلِيلاً عَنِ الْبَرِّ، ثُمَّ جَلَسَ يُعَلِّمُ الْجُمُوعَ مِنَ الْقَارِبِ.

4 When Jesus had finished speaking, He said to Simon, “Put out into deep water and let down your nets for a catch.”

4 وَلَمَّا أَنْهَى كَلامَهُ، قَالَ لِسِمْعَانَ: «ابْتَعِدْ إِلَى حَيْثُ الْعُمْقِ، وَاطْرَحُوا شِبَاكَكُمْ لِلصَّيْدِ».

5 “Master,” Simon replied, “we have worked hard all night without catching anything. But because You say so, I will let down the nets.”

5 فَأَجَابَهُ سِمْعَانُ: «يَا سَيِّدُ قَدْ جَاهَدْنَا طَوَالَ اللَّيْلِ وَلَمْ نَصِدْ شَيْئاً. وَلكِنْ لأَجْلِ كَلِمَتِكَ سَأَطْرَحُ الشِّبَاكَ!»

6 When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to tear.

6 وَلَمَّا فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ، صَادُوا سَمَكاً كَثِيراً جِدّاً، حَتَّى تَخَرَّقَتْ شِبَاكُهُمْ.

7 So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink.

7 فَأَشَارُوا إِلَى شُرَكَائِهِمِ الَّذِينَ فِي الْقَارِبِ الآخَرِ أَنْ يَأْتُوا وَيُسَاعِدُوهُمْ. فَأَتَوْا، وَمَلأُوا الْقَارِبَيْنِ كِلَيْهِمَا حَتَّى كَادَا يَغْرِقَانِ.

8 When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees. “Go away from me, Lord,” he said, “for I am a sinful man.”

8 وَلكِنْ لَمَّا رَأَى سِمْعَانُ بُطْرُسُ ذلِكَ، سَجَدَ عِنْدَ رُكْبَتَيْ يَسُوعَ وَقَالَ: «اُخْرُجْ مِنْ قَارِبِي يَا رَبُّ، لأَنِّي إِنْسَانٌ خَاطِئٌ».

9 For he and his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken,

9 فَقَدِ اسْتَوْلَتِ الدَّهْشَةُ عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَى جَمِيعِ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا مَعَهُ، لِكَثْرَةِ الصَّيْدِ الَّذِي صَادُوهُ،

10 and so were his partners James and John, the sons of Zebedee. “Do not be afraid,” Jesus said to Simon. “From now on you will catch men.”

10 وَكَذلِكَ عَلَى يَعْقُوبَ وَيُوحَنَّا ابْنَيْ زَبَدِي اللَّذَيْنِ كَانَا شَرِيكَيْنِ لِسِمْعَانَ. وَقَالَ يَسُوعُ لِسِمْعَانَ: «لا تَخَفْ! مُنْذُ الآنَ تَكُونُ صَائِداً لِلنَّاسِ».

11 And when they had brought their boats ashore, they left everything and followed Him.

11 وَبَعْدَمَا رَجَعُوا بِالْقَارِبَيْنِ إِلَى الْبَرِّ، تَرَكُوا كُلَّ شَيْءٍ وَتَبِعُوا يَسُوعَ.

12 While Jesus was in one of the towns, a man came along who was covered with leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he fell facedown and begged Him, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”

12 وَإِذْ كَانَ يَسُوعُ فِي إِحْدَى الْمُدُنِ، إِذَا إِنْسَانٌ يُغَطِّي الْبَرَصُ جِسْمَهُ، مَا إِنْ رَأَى يَسُوعَ حَتى ارْتَمَى عَلَى وَجْهِهِ وَتَوَسَّلَ إِلَيْهِ قَائِلاً: «يَا سَيِّدُ، إِنْ شِئْتَ فَأَنْتَ تَقْدِرُ أَنْ تُطَهِّرَنِي!»

13 Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!” And immediately the leprosy left him.

13 فَمَدَّ يَسُوعُ يَدَهُ وَلَمَسَهُ قَائِلاً: «إِنِّي أُرِيدُ، فَاطْهُرْ!» وَفِي الْحَالِ زَالَ عَنْهُ الْبَرَصُ.

14 “Do not tell anyone,” Jesus instructed him. “But go, show yourself to the priest and present the offering Moses prescribed for your cleansing, as a testimony to them.”

14 فَأَوْصَاهُ: «لا تُخْبِرْ أَحَداً، بَلِ اذْهَبْ وَاعْرِضْ نَفْسَكَ عَلَى الْكَاهِنِ، وَقَدِّمْ لِقَاءَ تَطْهِيرِكَ مَا أَمَرَ بِهِ مُوسَى، فَيَكُونَ ذلِكَ شَهَادَةً لَهُمْ».

15 But the news about Jesus spread all the more, and great crowds came to hear Him and to be healed of their sicknesses.

15 عَلَى أَنَّ خَبَرَ يَسُوعَ زَادَ انْتِشَاراً، حَتَّى تَوَافَدَتْ إِلَيْهِ جُمُوعٌ كَثِيرَةٌ لِيَسْتَمِعُوا إِلَيْهِ وَيَنَالُوا الشِّفَاءَ مِنْ أَمْرَاضِهِمْ.

16 Yet He frequently withdrew to the wilderness to pray.

16 أَمَّا هُوَ، فَكَانَ يَنْسَحِبُ إِلَى الأَمَاكِنِ الْخَالِيَةِ حَيْثُ يُصَلِّي.

17 One day Jesus was teaching, and the Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting there. People had come from Jerusalem and from every village of Galilee and Judea, and the power of the Lord was present for Him to heal the sick.

17 وَفِي ذَاتِ يَوْمٍ، كَانَ يُعَلِّمُ، وَكَانَ بَيْنَ الْجَالِسِينَ بَعْضُ الْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ وَمُعَلِّمِي الشَّرِيعَةِ، وَقَدْ أَتَوْا مِنْ كُلِّ قَرْيَةٍ فِي الْجَلِيلِ وَالْيَهُودِيَّةِ، وَمِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ. وَظَهَرَتْ قُدْرَةُ الرَّبِّ لِتَشْفِيَهُمْ.

18 Just then some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. They tried to bring him inside to set him before Jesus,

18 وَإذَا بَعْضُهُمْ يَحْمِلُونَ عَلَى فِرَاشٍ إِنْسَاناً مَشْلُولاً، حَاوَلُوا أَنْ يَدْخُلُوا بِهِ وَيَضَعُوهُ أَمَامَهُ.

19 but they could not find a way through the crowd. So they went up on the roof and lowered him on his mat through the tiles into the middle of the crowd, right in front of Jesus.

19 وَلَمَّا لَمْ يَجِدُوا طَرِيقاً لإِدْخَالِهِ بِسَبَبِ الزِّحَامِ، صَعِدُوا بِهِ إِلَى السَّطْحِ وَدَلَّوْهُ مِنْ فَتْحَةٍ فِي السَّقْفِ عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ إِلَى الوَسَطِ قُدَّامَ يَسُوعَ.

20 When Jesus saw their faith, He said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.”

20 فَلَمَّا رَأَى إِيمَانَهُمْ، قَالَ: «أَيُّهَا الإِنْسَانُ، قَدْ غُفِرَتْ لَكَ خَطَايَاكَ!»

21 But the scribes and Pharisees began thinking to themselves, “Who is this man who speaks blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”

21 فَأَخَذَ الْكَتَبَةُ وَالْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ يُفَكِّرُونَ قَائِلِينَ: «مَنْ هَذَا الَّذِي يَنْطِقُ بِكَلامِ الْكُفْرِ؟ مَنْ يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يَغْفِرَ الْخَطَايَا إِلّا اللهَ وَحْدَهُ؟»

22 Knowing what they were thinking, Jesus replied, “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts?

22 وَلكِنَّ يَسُوعَ أَدْرَكَ مَا يُفَكِّرُونَ فِيهِ، فَأَجَابَهُمْ قَائِلاً: «فِيمَ تُفَكِّرُونَ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ؟

23 Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’?

23 أَيُّ الأَمْرَيْنِ أَسْهَلُ: أَنْ أَقُولَ: قَدْ غُفِرَتْ لَكَ خَطَايَاكَ! أَمْ أَنْ أَقُولَ: قُمْ وَامْشِ؟

24 But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on the earth to forgive sins…” He said to the paralytic, “I tell you, get up, pick up your mat, and go home.”

24 وَلكِنِّي (قُلْتُ ذلِكَ) لِكَيْ تَعْلَمُوا أَنَّ لابْنِ الإِنْسَانِ عَلَى الأَرْضِ سُلْطَةَ غُفْرَانِ الْخَطَايَا». وَقَالَ لِلْمَشْلُولِ: «لَكَ أَقُولُ قُمِ احْمِلْ فِرَاشَكَ، وَاذْهَبْ إِلَى بَيْتِكَ».

25 And immediately the man stood up before them, took what he had been lying on, and went home glorifying God.

25 وَفِي الْحَالِ قَامَ أَمَامَهُمْ وَذَهَبَ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ مُمَجِّداً اللهَ، وَقَدْ حَمَلَ مَا كَانَ رَاقِداً عَلَيْهِ.

26 Everyone was taken with amazement and glorified God. They were filled with awe and said, “We have seen remarkable things today.”

26 فَأَخَذَتِ الْحَيْرَةُ الْجَمِيعَ، وَمَجَّدُوا اللهَ؛ وَقَدْ تَمَلَّكَهُمُ الْخَوْفُ، وَقَالُوا: «رَأَيْنَا الْيَوْمَ عَجَائِبَ!»

27 After this, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax booth. “Follow Me,” He told him,

27 وَخَرَجَ بَعْدَ ذلِكَ فَرَأَى جَابِي ضَرَائِبَ، اسْمُهُ لاوِي، جَالِساً فِي مَكْتَبِ الْجِبَايَةِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: «اتْبَعْنِي!»

28 and Levi got up, left everything, and followed Him.

28 فَقَامَ لاوِي وَتَبِعَهُ تَارِكاً كُلَّ شَيْءٍ.

29 Then Levi hosted a great banquet for Jesus at his house. A large crowd of tax collectors was there, along with others who were eating with them.

29 وَأَقَامَ لَهُ وَلِيمَةً عَظِيمَةً فِي بَيْتِهِ، وَكَانَ مُتَّكِئاً مَعَهُمْ جَمْعٌ كَبِيرٌ مِنَ الْجُبَاةِ وَغَيْرِهِمْ.

30 But the Pharisees and their scribes complained to Jesus’ disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”

30 فَتَذَمَّرَ كَتَبَةُ الْيَهُودِ وَالْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ عَلَى تَلامِيذِهِ، قَائِلِينَ: «لِمَاذَا تَأْكُلُونَ وَتَشْرَبُونَ مَعَ جُبَاةِ ضَرَائِبَ وَخَاطِئِينَ؟»

31 Jesus answered, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.

31 فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِمْ يَسُوعُ قَائِلاً: «لا يَحْتَاجُ الأَصِحَّاءُ إِلَى الطَّبِيبِ، بَلِ الْمَرْضَى!

32 I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”

32 مَا جِئْتُ لأَدْعُوَ إِلَى التَّوْبَةِ أَبْرَاراً بَلْ خَاطِئِينَ!»

33 Then they said to Him, “John’s disciples and those of the Pharisees frequently fast and pray, but Yours keep on eating and drinking.”

33 وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «إِنَّ تَلامِيذَ يُوحَنَّا يَصُومُونَ كَثِيراً وَيَرْفَعُونَ الطِّلْبَاتِ، وَكَذلِكَ يَفْعَلُ أَيْضاً تَلامِيذُ الْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ؛ وَأَمَّا تَلامِيذُكَ فَيَأْكُلُونَ وَيَشْرَبُونَ!»

34 Jesus replied, “Can you make the guests of the bridegroom fast while He is with them?

34 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «هَلْ تَقْدِرُونَ أَنْ تَجْعَلُوا أَهْلَ الْعُرْسِ يَصُومُونَ مَادَامَ الْعَرِيسُ بَيْنَهُمْ؟

35 But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.”

35 وَلكِنَّ أَيَّاماً سَتَأْتِي يَكُونُ الْعَرِيسُ فِيهَا قَدْ رُفِعَ مِنْ بَيْنِهِمْ، فِي تِلْكَ الأَيَّامِ، يَصُومُونَ».

36 He also told them a parable: “No one tears a piece of cloth from a new garment and sews it on an old one. If he does, he will tear the new garment as well, and the patch from the new will not match the old.

36 وَضَرَبَ لَهُمْ أَيْضاً مَثَلاً: «لا أَحَدَ يَنْتَزِعُ قِطْعَةً مِنْ ثَوْبٍ جَدِيدٍ لِيَرْقَعَ بِها ثَوْباً عَتِيقاً، وَإلَّا فَإِنَّهُ يُمَزِّقُ الْجَدِيدَ، وَالرُّقْعَةُ الْمَأْخُوذَةُ مِنَ الْجَدِيدِ لَا تُوَافِقُ الْعَتِيقَ.

37 And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the new wine will burst the skins, the wine will spill, and the wineskins will be ruined.

37 وَلا أَحَدَ يَضَعُ خَمْراً جَدِيدَةً فِي قِرَبٍ عَتِيقَةٍ، وَإلَّا، فَإِنَّ الْخَمْرَ الْجَدِيدَةَ تُفَجِّرُ الْقِرَبَ، فَتَنْسَكِبُ الْخَمْرُ وَتَتْلَفُ الْقِرَبُ.

38 Instead, new wine is poured into new wineskins.

38 وَإِنَّمَا يَجِبُ أَنْ تُوضَعَ الْخَمْرُ الْجَدِيدَةُ فِي قِرَبٍ جَدِيدَةٍ.

39 And no one after drinking old wine wants new, for he says, ‘The old is better.’”

39 وَمَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ إِذَا شَرِبَ الْخَمْرَ الْعَتِيقَةَ، يَرْغَبُ فِي الْجَدِيدَةِ، لأَنَّهُ يَقُولُ: الْعَتِيقَةُ أَطْيَبُ!»
