Luke 8

1 Soon afterward, Jesus traveled from one town and village to another, preaching and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. The Twelve were with Him,

1 وَعَلَى أَثَرِ ذَلِكَ كَانَ يَسِيرُ فِي مَدِينَةٍ وَقَرْيَةٍ يَكْرِزُ وَيُبَشِّرُ بِمَلَكُوتِ ٱللهِ، وَمَعَهُ ٱلِٱثْنَا عَشَرَ.

2 as well as some women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,

2 وَبَعْضُ ٱلنِّسَاءِ كُنَّ قَدْ شُفِينَ مِنْ أَرْوَاحٍ شِرِّيرَةٍ وَأَمْرَاضٍ: مَرْيَمُ ٱلَّتِي تُدْعَى ٱلْمَجْدَلِيَّةَ ٱلَّتِي خَرَجَ مِنْهَا سَبْعَةُ شَيَاطِينَ،

3 Joanna the wife of Herod’s household manager Chuza, Susanna, and many others. These women were ministering to them out of their own means.

3 وَيُوَنَّا ٱمْرَأَةُ خُوزِي وَكِيلِ هِيرُودُسَ، وَسُوسَنَّةُ، وَأُخَرُ كَثِيرَاتٌ كُنَّ يَخْدِمْنَهُ مِنْ أَمْوَالِهِنَّ.

4 While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, He told them this parable:

4 فَلَمَّا ٱجْتَمَعَ جَمْعٌ كَثِيرٌ أَيْضًا مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ جَاءُوا إِلَيْهِ مِنْ كُلِّ مَدِينَةٍ، قَالَ بِمَثَلٍ:

5 “A farmer went out to sow his seed. And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, where it was trampled, and the birds of the air devoured it.

5 «خَرَجَ ٱلزَّارِعُ لِيَزْرَعَ زَرْعَهُ. وَفِيمَا هُوَ يَزْرَعُ سَقَطَ بَعْضٌ عَلَى ٱلطَّرِيقِ، فَٱنْدَاسَ وَأَكَلَتْهُ طُيُورُ ٱلسَّمَاءِ.

6 Some fell on rocky ground, and when it came up, the seedlings withered because they had no moisture.

6 وَسَقَطَ آخَرُ عَلَى ٱلصَّخْرِ، فَلَمَّا نَبَتَ جَفَّ لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ تَكُنْ لَهُ رُطُوبَةٌ.

7 Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up with it and choked the seedlings.

7 وَسَقَطَ آخَرُ فِي وَسْطِ ٱلشَّوْكِ، فَنَبَتَ مَعَهُ ٱلشَّوْكُ وَخَنَقَهُ.

8 Still other seed fell on good soil, where it sprang up and produced a crop—a hundredfold.” As Jesus said this, He called out, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

8 وَسَقَطَ آخَرُ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلصَّالِحَةِ، فَلَمَّا نَبَتَ صَنَعَ ثَمَرًا مِئَةَ ضِعْفٍ». قَالَ هَذَا وَنَادَى: «مَنْ لَهُ أُذْنَانِ لِلسَّمْعِ فَلْيَسْمَعْ!».

9 Then His disciples asked Him what this parable meant.

9 فَسَأَلَهُ تَلَامِيذُهُ قَائِلِينَ: «مَا عَسَى أَنْ يَكُونَ هَذَا ٱلْمَثَلُ؟».

10 He replied, “The knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to others I speak in parables, so that, ‘though seeing, they may not see; though hearing, they may not understand.’

10 فَقَالَ: «لَكُمْ قَدْ أُعْطِيَ أَنْ تَعْرِفُوا أَسْرَارَ مَلَكُوتِ ٱللهِ، وَأَمَّا لِلْبَاقِينَ فَبِأَمْثَالٍ، حَتَّى إِنَّهُمْ مُبْصِرِينَ لَا يُبْصِرُونَ، وَسَامِعِينَ لَا يَفْهَمُونَ.

11 Now this is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God.

11 وَهَذَا هُوَ ٱلْمَثَلُ: ٱلزَّرْعُ هُوَ كَلَامُ ٱللهِ،

12 The seeds along the path are those who hear, but the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved.

12 وَٱلَّذِينَ عَلَى ٱلطَّرِيقِ هُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَسْمَعُونَ، ثُمَّ يَأْتِي إِبْلِيسُ وَيَنْزِعُ ٱلْكَلِمَةَ مِنْ قُلُوبِهِمْ لِئَلَّا يُؤْمِنُوا فَيَخْلُصُوا.

13 The seeds on rocky ground are those who hear the word and receive it with joy, but they have no root. They believe for a season, but in the time of testing, they fall away.

13 وَٱلَّذِينَ عَلَى ٱلصَّخْرِ هُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ مَتَى سَمِعُوا يَقْبَلُونَ ٱلْكَلِمَةَ بِفَرَحٍ، وَهَؤُلَاءِ لَيْسَ لَهُمْ أَصْلٌ، فَيُؤْمِنُونَ إِلَى حِينٍ، وَفِي وَقْتِ ٱلتَّجْرِبَةِ يَرْتَدُّونَ.

14 The seeds that fell among the thorns are those who hear, but as they go on their way, they are choked by the worries, riches, and pleasures of this life, and their fruit does not mature.

14 وَٱلَّذِي سَقَطَ بَيْنَ ٱلشَّوْكِ هُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَسْمَعُونَ، ثُمَّ يَذْهَبُونَ فَيَخْتَنِقُونَ مِنْ هُمُومِ ٱلْحَيَاةِ وَغِنَاهَا وَلَذَّاتِهَا، وَلَا يُنْضِجُونَ ثَمَرًا.

15 But the seeds on good soil are those with a noble and good heart, who hear the word, cling to it, and by persevering produce a crop.

15 وَٱلَّذِي فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلْجَيِّدَةِ، هُوَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَسْمَعُونَ ٱلْكَلِمَةَ فَيَحْفَظُونَهَا فِي قَلْبٍ جَيِّدٍ صَالِحٍ، وَيُثْمِرُونَ بِٱلصَّبْرِ.

16 No one lights a lamp and covers it with a jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, he sets it on a stand, so those who enter can see the light.

16 «وَلَيْسَ أَحَدٌ يُوقِدُ سِرَاجًا وَيُغَطِّيهِ بِإِنَاءٍ أَوْ يَضَعُهُ تَحْتَ سَرِيرٍ، بَلْ يَضَعُهُ عَلَى مَنَارَةٍ، لِيَنْظُرَ ٱلدَّاخِلُونَ ٱلنُّورَ.

17 For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be made known and brought to light.

17 لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ خَفِيٌّ لَا يُظْهَرُ، وَلَا مَكْتُومٌ لَا يُعْلَمُ وَيُعْلَنُ.

18 Pay attention, therefore, to how you listen. Whoever has will be given more, but whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken away from him.”

18 فَٱنْظُرُوا كَيْفَ تَسْمَعُونَ، لِأَنَّ مَنْ لَهُ سَيُعْطَى، وَمَنْ لَيْسَ لَهُ فَٱلَّذِي يَظُنُّهُ لَهُ يُؤْخَذُ مِنْهُ».

19 Then Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see Him, but they were unable to reach Him because of the crowd.

19 وَجَاءَ إِلَيْهِ أُمُّهُ وَإِخْوَتُهُ، وَلَمْ يَقْدِرُوا أَنْ يَصِلُوا إِلَيْهِ لِسَبَبِ ٱلْجَمْعِ.

20 He was told, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to see You.”

20 فَأَخْبَرُوهُ قَائِلِينَ: «أُمُّكَ وَإِخْوَتُكَ وَاقِفُونَ خَارِجًا، يُرِيدُونَ أَنْ يَرَوْكَ».

21 But He replied, “My mother and brothers are those who hear the word of God and carry it out.”

21 فَأَجَابَ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «أُمِّي وَإِخْوَتِي هُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَسْمَعُونَ كَلِمَةَ ٱللهِ وَيَعْمَلُونَ بِهَا».

22 One day Jesus said to His disciples, “Let us cross to the other side of the lake.” So He got into a boat with them and set out.

22 وَفِي أَحَدِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ دَخَلَ سَفِينَةً هُوَ وَتَلَامِيذُهُ، فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «لِنَعْبُرْ إِلَى عَبْرِ ٱلْبُحَيْرَةِ». فَأَقْلَعُوا.

23 As they sailed, He fell asleep, and a windstorm came down on the lake, so that the boat was being swamped, and they were in great danger.

23 وَفِيمَا هُمْ سَائِرُونَ نَامَ. فَنَزَلَ نَوْءُ رِيحٍ فِي ٱلْبُحَيْرَةِ، وَكَانُوا يَمْتَلِئُونَ مَاءً وَصَارُوا فِي خَطَرٍ.

24 The disciples went and woke Him, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!” Then Jesus got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waters, and they subsided, and all was calm.

24 فَتَقَدَّمُوا وَأَيْقَظُوهُ قَائِلِينَ: «يَا مُعَلِّمُ، يَا مُعَلِّمُ، إِنَّنَا نَهْلِكُ!». فَقَامَ وَٱنْتَهَرَ ٱلرِّيحَ وَتَمَوُّجَ ٱلْمَاءِ، فَٱنْتَهَيَا وَصَارَ هُدُوُّ.

25 “Where is your faith?” He asked. Frightened and amazed, they asked one another, “Who is this? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey Him!”

25 ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَيْنَ إِيمَانُكُمْ؟». فَخَافُوا وَتَعَجَّبُوا قَائِلِينَ فِيمَا بَيْنَهُمْ: «مَنْ هُوَ هَذَا؟ فَإِنَّهُ يَأْمُرُ ٱلرِّيَاحَ أَيْضًا وَٱلْمَاءَ فَتُطِيعُهُ!».

26 Then they sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, across the lake from Galilee.

26 وَسَارُوا إِلَى كُورَةِ ٱلْجَدَرِيِّينَ ٱلَّتِي هِيَ مُقَابِلَ ٱلْجَلِيلِ.

27 When Jesus stepped ashore, He was met by a demon-possessed man from the town. For a long time this man had not worn clothing or lived in a house, but he stayed in the tombs.

27 وَلَمَّا خَرَجَ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱسْتَقْبَلَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ كَانَ فِيهِ شَيَاطِينُ مُنْذُ زَمَانٍ طَوِيلٍ، وَكَانَ لَا يَلْبَسُ ثَوْبًا، وَلَا يُقِيمُ فِي بَيْتٍ، بَلْ فِي ٱلْقُبُورِ.

28 When the man saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before Him, shouting in a loud voice, “What do You want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You not to torture me!”

28 فَلَمَّا رَأَى يَسُوعَ صَرَخَ وَخَرَّ لَهُ، وَقَالَ بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ: «مَا لِي وَلَكَ يَا يَسُوعُ ٱبْنَ ٱللهِ ٱلْعَلِيِّ؟ أَطْلُبُ مِنْكَ أَنْ لَا تُعَذِّبَنِي!».

29 For Jesus had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and though he was bound with chains and shackles, he had broken the chains and been driven by the demon into solitary places.

29 لِأَنَّهُ أَمَرَ ٱلرُّوحَ ٱلنَّجِسَ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ مِنَ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ. لِأَنَّهُ مُنْذُ زَمَانٍ كَثِيرٍ كَانَ يَخْطَفُهُ، وَقَدْ رُبِطَ بِسَلَاسِلٍ وَقُيُودٍ مَحْرُوسًا، وَكَانَ يَقْطَعُ ٱلرُّبُطَ وَيُسَاقُ مِنَ ٱلشَّيْطَانِ إِلَى ٱلْبَرَارِي.

30 “What is your name?” Jesus asked. “Legion,” he replied, because many demons had gone into him.

30 فَسَأَلَهُ يَسُوعُ قَائِلًا: «مَا ٱسْمُكَ؟». فَقَالَ: «لَجِئُونُ». لِأَنَّ شَيَاطِينَ كَثِيرَةً دَخَلَتْ فِيهِ.

31 And the demons kept begging Jesus not to order them to go into the Abyss.

31 وَطَلَبَ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ لَا يَأْمُرَهُمْ بِٱلذَّهَابِ إِلَى ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ.

32 There on the hillside a large herd of pigs was feeding. So the demons begged Jesus to let them enter the pigs, and He gave them permission.

32 وَكَانَ هُنَاكَ قَطِيعُ خَنَازِيرَ كَثِيرَةٍ تَرْعَى فِي ٱلْجَبَلِ، فَطَلَبُوا إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يَأْذَنَ لَهُمْ بِٱلدُّخُولِ فِيهَا، فَأَذِنَ لَهُمْ.

33 Then the demons came out of the man and went into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned.

33 فَخَرَجَتِ ٱلشَّيَاطِينُ مِنَ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ وَدَخَلَتْ فِي ٱلْخَنَازِيرِ، فَٱنْدَفَعَ ٱلْقَطِيعُ مِنْ عَلَى ٱلْجُرُفِ إِلَى ٱلْبُحَيْرَةِ وَٱخْتَنَقَ.

34 When those tending the pigs saw what had happened, they ran off and reported this in the town and countryside.

34 فَلَمَّا رَأَى ٱلرُّعَاةُ مَا كَانَ هَرَبُوا وَذَهَبُوا وَأَخْبَرُوا فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ وَفِي ٱلضِّيَاعِ،

35 So the people went out to see what had happened. They came to Jesus and found the man whom the demons had left, sitting at Jesus’ feet, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.

35 فَخَرَجُوا لِيَرَوْا مَا جَرَى. وَجَاءُوا إِلَى يَسُوعَ فَوَجَدُوا ٱلْإِنْسَانَ ٱلَّذِي كَانَتِ ٱلشَّيَاطِينُ قَدْ خَرَجَتْ مِنْهُ لَابِسًا وَعَاقِلًا، جَالِسًا عِنْدَ قَدَمَيْ يَسُوعَ، فَخَافُوا.

36 Meanwhile, those who had seen it reported how the demon-possessed man had been healed.

36 فَأَخْبَرَهُمْ أَيْضًا ٱلَّذِينَ رَأَوْا كَيْفَ خَلَصَ ٱلْمَجْنُونُ.

37 Then all the people of the region of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to depart from them, because great fear had taken hold of them. So He got into the boat and started back.

37 فَطَلَبَ إِلَيْهِ كُلُّ جُمْهُورِ كُورَةِ ٱلْجَدَرِيِّينَ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ عَنْهُمْ، لِأَنَّهُ ٱعْتَرَاهُمْ خَوْفٌ عَظِيمٌ. فَدَخَلَ ٱلسَّفِينَةَ وَرَجَعَ.

38 The man whom the demons had left begged to go with Jesus. But He sent him away, saying,

38 أَمَّا ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلَّذِي خَرَجَتْ مِنْهُ ٱلشَّيَاطِينُ فَطَلَبَ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يَكُونَ مَعَهُ، وَلَكِنَّ يَسُوعَ صَرَفَهُ قَائِلًا:

39 “Return home and describe how much God has done for you.” So the man went away and proclaimed all over the town how much Jesus had done for him.

39 «ٱرْجِعْ إِلَى بَيْتِكَ وَحَدِّثْ بِكَمْ صَنَعَ ٱللهُ بِكَ». فَمَضَى وَهُوَ يُنَادِي فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ كُلِّهَا بِكَمْ صَنَعَ بِهِ يَسُوعُ.

40 When Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed Him, for they had all been waiting for Him.

40 وَلَمَّا رَجَعَ يَسُوعُ قَبِلَهُ ٱلْجَمْعُ لِأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا جَمِيعُهُمْ يَنْتَظِرُونَهُ.

41 Just then a synagogue leader named Jairus came and fell at Jesus’ feet. He begged Him to come to his house,

41 وَإِذَا رَجُلٌ ٱسْمُهُ يَايِرُسُ قَدْ جَاءَ، وَكَانَ رَئِيسَ ٱلْمَجْمَعِ، فَوَقَعَ عِنْدَ قَدَمَيْ يَسُوعَ وَطَلَبَ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ بَيْتَهُ،

42 because his only daughter, who was about twelve, was dying. As Jesus went with him, the crowds pressed around Him,

42 لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ لَهُ بِنْتٌ وَحِيدَةٌ لَهَا نَحْوُ ٱثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً، وَكَانَتْ فِي حَالِ ٱلْمَوْتِ. فَفِيمَا هُوَ مُنْطَلِقٌ زَحَمَتْهُ ٱلْجُمُوعُ.

43 including a woman who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years. She had spent all her money on physicians, but no one was able to heal her.

43 وَٱمْرَأَةٌ بِنَزْفِ دَمٍ مُنْذُ ٱثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً، وَقَدْ أَنْفَقَتْ كُلَّ مَعِيشَتِهَا لِلْأَطِبَّاءِ، وَلَمْ تَقْدِرْ أَنْ تُشْفَى مِنْ أَحَدٍ،

44 She came up behind Jesus and touched the fringe of His cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped.

44 جَاءَتْ مِنْ وَرَائِهِ وَلَمَسَتْ هُدْبَ ثَوْبِهِ. فَفِي ٱلْحَالِ وَقَفَ نَزْفُ دَمِهَا.

45 “Who touched Me?” Jesus asked. But they all denied it. “Master,” said Peter, “the people are crowding and pressing against You.”

45 فَقَالَ يَسُوعُ: «مَنِ ٱلَّذِي لَمَسَنِي؟». وَإِذْ كَانَ ٱلْجَمِيعُ يُنْكِرُونَ، قَالَ بُطْرُسُ وَٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُ: «يَا مُعَلِّمُ، ٱلْجُمُوعُ يُضَيِّقُونَ عَلَيْكَ وَيَزْحَمُونَكَ، وَتَقُولُ: مَنِ ٱلَّذِي لَمَسَنِي؟».

46 But Jesus declared, “Someone touched Me, for I know that power has gone out from Me.”

46 فَقَالَ يَسُوعُ: «قَدْ لَمَسَنِي وَاحِدٌ، لِأَنِّي عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ قُوَّةً قَدْ خَرَجَتْ مِنِّي».

47 Then the woman, seeing that she could not escape notice, came trembling and fell down before Him. In the presence of all the people, she explained why she had touched Him and how she had immediately been healed.

47 فَلَمَّا رَأَتِ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ أَنَّهَا لَمْ تَخْتَفِ، جَاءَتْ مُرْتَعِدَةً وَخَرَّتْ لَهُ، وَأَخْبَرَتْهُ قُدَّامَ جَمِيعِ ٱلشَّعْبِ لِأَيِّ سَبَبٍ لَمَسَتْهُ، وَكَيْفَ بَرِئَتْ فِي ٱلْحَالِ.

48 “Daughter,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you. Go in peace.”

48 فَقَالَ لَهَا: «ثِقِي يَا ٱبْنَةُ، إِيمَانُكِ قَدْ شَفَاكِ، اِذْهَبِي بِسَلَامٍ».

49 While He was still speaking, someone arrived from the house of the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” he told Jairus. “Do not bother the Teacher anymore.”

49 وَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ يَتَكَلَّمُ، جَاءَ وَاحِدٌ مِنْ دَارِ رَئِيسِ ٱلْمَجْمَعِ قَائِلًا لَهُ: «قَدْ مَاتَتِ ٱبْنَتُكَ. لَا تُتْعِبِ ٱلْمُعَلِّمَ».

50 But Jesus overheard them and said to Jairus, “Do not be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.”

50 فَسَمِعَ يَسُوعُ، وَأَجَابَهُ قَائِلًا: «لَاتَخَفْ! آمِنْ فَقَطْ، فَهِيَ تُشْفَى».

51 When He entered the house, He did not allow anyone to go in with Him except Peter, John, James, and the child’s father and mother.

51 فَلَمَّا جَاءَ إِلَى ٱلْبَيْتِ لَمْ يَدَعْ أَحَدًا يَدْخُلُ إِلَّا بُطْرُسَ وَيَعْقُوبَ وَيُوحَنَّا، وَأَبَا ٱلصَّبِيَّةِ وَأُمَّهَا.

52 Meanwhile, everyone was weeping and mourning for her. But Jesus said, “Stop weeping; she is not dead but asleep.”

52 وَكَانَ ٱلْجَمِيعُ يَبْكُونَ عَلَيْهَا وَيَلْطِمُونَ. فَقَالَ: «لَا تَبْكُوا. لَمْ تَمُتْ لَكِنَّهَا نَائِمَةٌ».

53 And they laughed at Him, knowing that she was dead.

53 فَضَحِكُوا عَلَيْهِ، عَارِفِينَ أَنَّهَا مَاتَتْ.

54 But Jesus took her by the hand and called out, “Child, get up!”

54 فَأَخْرَجَ ٱلْجَمِيعَ خَارِجًا، وَأَمْسَكَ بِيَدِهَا وَنَادَى قَائِلًا: «يَا صَبِيَّةُ، قُومِي!».

55 Her spirit returned, and at once she got up. And He directed that she be given something to eat.

55 فَرَجَعَتْ رُوحُهَا وَقَامَتْ فِي ٱلْحَالِ. فَأَمَرَ أَنْ تُعْطَى لِتَأْكُلَ.

56 Her parents were astounded, but Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened.

56 فَبُهِتَ وَالِدَاهَا. فَأَوْصَاهُمَا أَنْ لَا يَقُولَا لِأَحَدٍ عَمَّا كَانَ.
