Luke 9

1 Then Jesus called the Twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and power to cure diseases.

1 وَدَعَا تَلَامِيذَهُ ٱلِٱثْنَيْ عَشَرَ، وَأَعْطَاهُمْ قُوَّةً وَسُلْطَانًا عَلَى جَمِيعِ ٱلشَّيَاطِينِ وَشِفَاءِ أَمْرَاضٍ،

2 And He sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.

2 وَأَرْسَلَهُمْ لِيَكْرِزُوا بِمَلَكُوتِ ٱللهِ وَيَشْفُوا ٱلْمَرْضَى.

3 “Take nothing for the journey,” He told them, “no staff, no bag, no bread, no money, no second tunic.

3 وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «لَا تَحْمِلُوا شَيْئًا لِلطَّرِيقِ: لَا عَصًا وَلَا مِزْوَدًا وَلَا خُبْزًا وَلَا فِضَّةً، وَلَا يَكُونُ لِلْوَاحِدِ ثَوْبَانِ.

4 Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave that area.

4 وَأَيُّ بَيْتٍ دَخَلْتُمُوهُ فَهُنَاكَ أَقِيمُوا، وَمِنْ هُنَاكَ ٱخْرُجُوا.

5 If anyone does not welcome you, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that town, as a testimony against them.”

5 وَكُلُّ مَنْ لَا يَقْبَلُكُمْ فَٱخْرُجُوا مِنْ تِلْكَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، وَٱنْفُضُوا ٱلْغُبَارَ أَيْضًا عَنْ أَرْجُلِكُمْ شَهَادَةً عَلَيْهِمْ».

6 So they set out and went from village to village, preaching the gospel and healing people everywhere.

6 فَلَمَّا خَرَجُوا كَانُوا يَجْتَازُونَ فِي كُلِّ قَرْيَةٍ يُبَشِّرُونَ وَيَشْفُونَ فِي كُلِّ مَوْضِعٍ.

7 When Herod the tetrarch heard about all that was happening, he was perplexed. For some were saying that John had risen from the dead,

7 فَسَمِعَ هِيرُودُسُ رَئِيسُ ٱلرُّبْعِ بِجَمِيعِ مَا كَانَ مِنْهُ، وَٱرْتَابَ، لِأَنَّ قَوْمًا كَانُوا يَقُولُونَ: «إِنَّ يُوحَنَّا قَدْ قَامَ مِنَ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ».

8 others that Elijah had appeared, and still others that a prophet of old had arisen.

8 وَقَوْمًا: «إِنَّ إِيلِيَّا ظَهَرَ». وَآخَرِينَ: «إِنَّ نَبِيًّا مِنَ ٱلْقُدَمَاءِ قَامَ».

9 “I beheaded John,” Herod said, “but who is this man I hear such things about?” And he kept trying to see Jesus.

9 فَقَالَ هِيرُودُسُ: «يُوحَنَّا أَنَا قَطَعْتُ رَأْسَهُ. فَمَنْ هُوَ هَذَا ٱلَّذِي أَسْمَعُ عَنْهُ مِثْلَ هَذَا؟». وَكَانَ يَطْلُبُ أَنْ يَرَاهُ.

10 Then the apostles returned and reported to Jesus all that they had done. Taking them away privately, He withdrew to a town called Bethsaida.

10 وَلَمَّا رَجَعَ ٱلرُّسُلُ أَخْبَرُوهُ بِجَمِيعِ مَا فَعَلُوا، فَأَخَذَهُمْ وَٱنْصَرَفَ مُنْفَرِدًا إِلَى مَوْضِعٍ خَلَاءٍ لِمَدِينَةٍ تُسَمَّى بَيْتَ صَيْدَا.

11 But the crowds found out and followed Him. He welcomed them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and He healed those who needed healing.

11 فَٱلْجُمُوعُ إِذْ عَلِمُوا تَبِعُوهُ، فَقَبِلَهُمْ وَكَلَّمَهُمْ عَنْ مَلَكُوتِ ٱللهِ، وَٱلْمُحْتَاجُونَ إِلَى ٱلشِّفَاءِ شَفَاهُمْ.

12 As the day neared its end, the Twelve came to Jesus and said, “Dismiss the crowd so they can go to the surrounding villages and countryside for lodging and provisions. For we are in a desolate place here.”

12 فَٱبْتَدَأَ ٱلنَّهَارُ يَمِيلُ. فَتَقَدَّمَ ٱلِٱثْنَا عَشَرَ وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «ٱصْرِفِ ٱلْجَمْعَ لِيَذْهَبُوا إِلَى ٱلْقُرَى وَٱلضِّيَاعِ حَوَالَيْنَا فَيَبِيتُوا وَيَجِدُوا طَعَامًا، لِأَنَّنَا هَهُنَا فِي مَوْضِعٍ خَلَاءٍ».

13 But Jesus told them, “You give them something to eat.” “We have only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered, “unless we go and buy food for all these people.”

13 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَعْطُوهُمْ أَنْتُمْ لِيَأْكُلُوا». فَقَالُوا: «لَيْسَ عِنْدَنَا أَكْثَرُ مِنْ خَمْسَةِ أَرْغِفَةٍ وَسَمَكَتَيْنِ، إِلَّا أَنْ نَذْهَبَ وَنَبْتَاعَ طَعَامًا لِهَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ كُلِّهِ».

14 (There were about five thousand men.) He told His disciples, “Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each.”

14 لِأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا نَحْوَ خَمْسَةِ آلَافِ رَجُلٍ. فَقَالَ لِتَلَامِيذِهِ: «أَتْكِئُوهُمْ فِرَقًا خَمْسِينَ خَمْسِينَ».

15 They did so, and everyone was seated.

15 فَفَعَلُوا هَكَذَا، وَأَتْكَأُوا ٱلْجَمِيعَ.

16 Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, Jesus spoke a blessing and broke them. Then He gave them to the disciples to set before the people.

16 فَأَخَذَ ٱلْأَرْغِفَةَ ٱلْخَمْسَةَ وَٱلسَّمَكَتَيْنِ، وَرَفَعَ نَظَرَهُ نَحْوَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَبَارَكَهُنَّ، ثُمَّ كَسَّرَ وَأَعْطَى ٱلتَّلَامِيذَ لِيُقَدِّمُوا لِلْجَمْعِ.

17 They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.

17 فَأَكَلُوا وَشَبِعُوا جَمِيعًا. ثُمَّ رُفِعَ مَا فَضَلَ عَنْهُمْ مِنَ ٱلْكِسَرِ ٱثْنَتَا عَشْرَةَ قُفَّةً.

18 One day as Jesus was praying in private and the disciples were with Him, He questioned them: “Who do the crowds say I am?”

18 وَفِيمَا هُوَ يُصَلِّي عَلَى ٱنْفِرَادٍ كَانَ ٱلتَّلَامِيذُ مَعَهُ. فَسَأَلَهُمْ قَائِلًا: «مَنْ تَقُولُ ٱلْجُمُوعُ أَنِّي أَنَا؟».

19 They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, that a prophet of old has arisen.”

19 فَأَجَابُوا وَقَالوا: «يُوحَنَّا ٱلْمَعْمَدَانُ. وَآخَرُونَ: إِيلِيَّا. وَآخَرُونَ: إِنَّ نَبِيًّا مِنَ ٱلْقُدَمَاءِ قَامَ».

20 “But what about you?” Jesus asked. “Who do you say I am?” Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”

20 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «وَأَنْتُمْ، مَنْ تَقُولُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا؟» فَأَجَابَ بُطْرُسُ وَقَالَ: «مَسِيحُ ٱللهِ!».

21 Jesus strictly warned them not to tell this to anyone.

21 فَٱنْتَهَرَهُمْ وَأَوْصَى أَنْ لَا يَقُولُوا ذَلِكَ لِأَحَدٍ،

22 “The Son of Man must suffer many things,” He said. “He must be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and He must be killed and on the third day be raised to life.”

22 قَائِلًا: «إِنَّهُ يَنْبَغِي أَنَّ ٱبْنَ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ يَتَأَلَّمُ كَثِيرًا، وَيُرْفَضُ مِنَ ٱلشُّيُوخِ وَرُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَٱلْكَتَبَةِ، وَيُقْتَلُ، وَفِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّالِثِ يَقُومُ».

23 Then Jesus said to all of them, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow Me.

23 وَقَالَ لِلْجَمِيعِ: «إِنْ أَرَادَ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ وَرَائِي، فَلْيُنْكِرْ نَفْسَهُ وَيَحْمِلْ صَلِيبَهُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ، وَيَتْبَعْنِي.

24 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it.

24 فَإِنَّ مَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُخَلِّصَ نَفْسَهُ يُهْلِكُهَا، وَمَنْ يُهْلِكُ نَفْسَهُ مِنْ أَجْلِي فَهَذَا يُخَلِّصُهَا.

25 What does it profit a man to gain the whole world, yet lose or forfeit his very self?

25 لِأَنَّهُ مَاذَا يَنْتَفِعُ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ لَوْ رَبِحَ ٱلْعَالَمَ كُلَّهُ، وَأَهْلَكَ نَفْسَهُ أَوْ خَسِرَهَا؟

26 If anyone is ashamed of Me and My words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when He comes in His glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.

26 لِأَنَّ مَنِ ٱسْتَحَى بِي وَبِكَلَامِي، فَبِهَذَا يَسْتَحِي ٱبْنُ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ مَتَى جَاءَ بِمَجْدِهِ وَمَجْدِ ٱلْآبِ وَٱلْمَلَائِكَةِ ٱلْقِدِّيسِينَ.

27 But I tell you truly, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God.”

27 حَقًّا أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ مِنَ ٱلْقِيَامِ هَهُنَا قَوْمًا لَا يَذُوقُونَ ٱلْمَوْتَ حَتَّى يَرَوْا مَلَكُوتَ ٱللهِ».

28 About eight days after Jesus had said these things, He took with Him Peter, John, and James, and went up on a mountain to pray.

28 وَبَعْدَ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ بِنَحْوِ ثَمَانِيَةِ أَيَّامٍ، أَخَذَ بُطْرُسَ وَيُوحَنَّا وَيَعْقُوبَ وَصَعِدَ إِلَى جَبَلٍ لِيُصَلِّيَ.

29 And as He was praying, the appearance of His face changed, and His clothes became radiantly white.

29 وَفِيمَا هُوَ يُصَلِّي صَارَتْ هَيْئَةُ وَجْهِهِ مُتَغَيِّرَةً، وَلِبَاسُهُ مُبْيَضًّا لَامِعًا.

30 Suddenly two men, Moses and Elijah, began talking with Jesus.

30 وَإِذَا رَجُلَانِ يَتَكَلَّمَانِ مَعَهُ، وَهُمَا مُوسَى وَإِيلِيَّا،

31 They appeared in glory and spoke about His departure, which He was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.

31 اللَّذَانِ ظَهَرَا بِمَجْدٍ، وَتَكَلَّمَا عَنْ خُرُوجِهِ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ عَتِيدًا أَنْ يُكَمِّلَهُ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ.

32 Meanwhile Peter and his companions were overcome by sleep, but when they awoke, they saw Jesus’ glory and the two men standing with Him.

32 وَأَمَّا بُطْرُسُ وَٱللَّذَانِ مَعَهُ فَكَانُوا قَدْ تَثَقَّلُوا بِٱلنَّوْمِ. فَلَمَّا ٱسْتَيْقَظُوا رَأَوْا مَجْدَهُ، وَٱلرَّجُلَيْنِ ٱلْوَاقِفَيْنِ مَعَهُ.

33 As Moses and Elijah were leaving, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” (He did not know what he was saying.)

33 وَفِيمَا هُمَا يُفَارِقَانِهِ قَالَ بُطْرُسُ لِيَسُوعَ «يَا مُعَلِّمُ، جَيِّدٌ أَنْ نَكُونَ هَهُنَا. فَلْنَصْنَعْ ثَلَاثَ مَظَالَّ: لَكَ وَاحِدَةً، وَلِمُوسَى وَاحِدَةً، وَلِإِيلِيَّا وَاحِدَةً». وَهُوَ لَا يَعْلَمُ مَا يَقُولُ.

34 While Peter was speaking, a cloud appeared and enveloped them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud.

34 وَفِيمَا هُوَ يَقُولُ ذَلِكَ كَانَتْ سَحَابَةٌ فَظَلَّلَتْهُمْ. فَخَافُوا عِنْدَمَا دَخَلُوا فِي ٱلسَّحَابَةِ.

35 And a voice came from the cloud, saying, “This is My Son, whom I have chosen. Listen to Him!”

35 وَصَارَ صَوْتٌ مِنَ ٱلسَّحَابَةِ قَائِلًا: «هَذَا هُوَ ٱبْنِي ٱلْحَبِيبُ. لَهُ ٱسْمَعُوا».

36 After the voice had spoken, only Jesus was present with them. The disciples kept this to themselves, and in those days they did not tell anyone what they had seen.

36 وَلَمَّا كَانَ ٱلصَّوْتُ وُجِدَ يَسُوعُ وَحْدَهُ، وَأَمَّا هُمْ فَسَكَتُوا وَلَمْ يُخْبِرُوا أَحَدًا فِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ بِشَيْءٍ مِمَّا أَبْصَرُوهُ.

37 The next day, when they came down from the mountain, Jesus was met by a large crowd.

37 وَفِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلتَّالِي إِذْ نَزَلُوا مِنَ ٱلْجَبَلِ، ٱسْتَقْبَلَهُ جَمْعٌ كَثِيرٌ.

38 Suddenly a man in the crowd cried out, “Teacher, I beg You to look at my son, for he is my only child.

38 وَإِذَا رَجُلٌ مِنَ ٱلْجَمْعِ صَرَخَ قَائِلًا: «يَا مُعَلِّمُ، أَطْلُبُ إِلَيْكَ. اُنْظُرْ إِلَى ٱبْنِي، فَإِنَّهُ وَحِيدٌ لِي.

39 A spirit keeps seizing him, and he screams abruptly. It throws him into convulsions so that he foams at the mouth. It keeps mauling him and rarely departs from him.

39 وَهَا رُوحٌ يَأْخُذُهُ فَيَصْرُخُ بَغْتَةً، فَيَصْرَعُهُ مُزْبِدًا، وَبِٱلْجَهْدِ يُفَارِقُهُ مُرَضِّضًا إِيَّاهُ.

40 I begged Your disciples to drive it out, but they were unable.”

40 وَطَلَبْتُ مِنْ تَلَامِيذِكَ أَنْ يُخْرِجُوهُ فَلَمْ يَقْدِرُوا».

41 “O unbelieving and perverse generation!” Jesus replied. “How long must I remain with you and put up with you? Bring your son here.”

41 فَأَجَابَ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ: «أَيُّهَا ٱلْجِيلُ غَيْرُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِ وَٱلْمُلْتَوِي إِلَى مَتَى أَكُونُ مَعَكُمْ وَأَحْتَمِلُكُمْ؟ قَدِّمِ ٱبْنَكَ إِلَى هُنَا!».

42 Even while the boy was approaching, the demon slammed him to the ground in a convulsion. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.

42 وَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ آتٍ مَزَّقَهُ ٱلشَّيْطَانُ وَصَرَعَهُ، فَٱنْتَهَرَ يَسُوعُ ٱلرُّوحَ ٱلنَّجِسَ، وَشَفَى ٱلصَّبِيَّ وَسَلَّمَهُ إِلَى أَبِيهِ.

43 And they were all astonished at the greatness of God. While everyone was marveling at all that Jesus was doing, He said to His disciples,

43 فَبُهِتَ ٱلْجَمِيعُ مِنْ عَظَمَةِ ٱللهِ. وَإِذْ كَانَ ٱلْجَمِيعُ يَتَعَجَّبُونَ مِنْ كُلِّ مَا فَعَلَ يَسُوعُ، قَالَ لِتَلَامِيذِهِ:

44 “Let these words sink into your ears: The Son of Man is about to be delivered into the hands of men.”

44 «ضَعُوا أَنْتُمْ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامَ فِي آذَانِكُمْ: إِنَّ ٱبْنَ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ سَوْفَ يُسَلَّمُ إِلَى أَيْدِي ٱلنَّاسِ».

45 But they did not understand this statement. It was veiled from them so that they could not comprehend it, and they were afraid to ask Him about it.

45 وَأَمَّا هُمْ فَلَمْ يَفْهَمُوا هَذَا ٱلْقَوْلَ، وَكَانَ مُخْفًى عَنْهُمْ لِكَيْ لَا يَفْهَمُوهُ، وَخَافُوا أَنْ يَسْأَلُوهُ عَنْ هَذَا ٱلْقَوْلِ.

46 Then an argument started among the disciples as to which of them would be the greatest.

46 وَدَاخَلَهُمْ فِكْرٌ مَنْ عَسَى أَنْ يَكُونَ أَعْظَمَ فِيهِمْ؟

47 But Jesus, knowing the thoughts of their hearts, had a little child stand beside Him.

47 فَعَلِمَ يَسُوعُ فِكْرَ قَلْبِهِمْ، وَأَخَذَ وَلَدًا وَأَقَامَهُ عِنْدَهُ،

48 And He said to them, “Whoever welcomes this little child in My name welcomes Me, and whoever welcomes Me welcomes the One who sent Me. For whoever is the least among all of you, he is the greatest.”

48 وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «مَنْ قَبِلَ هَذَا ٱلْوَلَدَ بِٱسْمِي يَقْبَلُنِي، وَمَنْ قَبِلَنِي يَقْبَلُ ٱلَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي، لِأَنَّ ٱلْأَصْغَرَ فِيكُمْ جَمِيعًا هُوَ يَكُونُ عَظِيمًا».

49 “Master,” said John, “we saw someone driving out demons in Your name, and we tried to stop him, because he does not accompany us.”

49 فَأجَابَ يُوحَنَّا وَقَالَ: «يَا مُعَلِّمُ، رَأَيْنَا وَاحِدًا يُخْرِجُ ٱلشَّيَاطِينَ بِٱسْمِكَ فَمَنَعْنَاهُ، لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ يَتْبَعُ مَعَنَا».

50 “Do not stop him,” Jesus replied, “for whoever is not against you is for you.”

50 فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «لَا تَمْنَعُوهُ، لِأَنَّ مَنْ لَيْسَ عَلَيْنَا فَهُوَ مَعَنَا».

51 As the day of His ascension approached, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem.

51 وَحِينَ تَمَّتِ ٱلْأَيَّامُ لِٱرْتِفَاعِهِ ثَبَّتَ وَجْهَهُ لِيَنْطَلِقَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ،

52 He sent messengers on ahead, who went into a village of the Samaritans to make arrangements for Him.

52 وَأَرْسَلَ أَمَامَ وَجْهِهِ رُسُلًا، فَذَهَبُوا وَدَخَلُوا قَرْيَةً لِلسَّامِرِيِّينَ حَتَّى يُعِدُّوا لَهُ.

53 But the people there refused to welcome Him, because He was heading for Jerusalem.

53 فَلَمْ يَقْبَلُوهُ لِأَنَّ وَجْهَهُ كَانَ مُتَّجِهًا نَحْوَ أُورُشَلِيمَ.

54 When the disciples James and John saw this, they asked, “Lord, do You want us to call down fire from heaven to consume them?”

54 فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذَلِكَ تِلْمِيذَاهُ يَعْقُوبُ وَيُوحَنَّا، قَالَا: «يَارَبُّ، أَتُرِيدُ أَنْ نَقُولَ أَنْ تَنْزِلَ نَارٌ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ فَتُفْنِيَهُمْ، كَمَا فَعَلَ إِيلِيَّا أَيْضًا؟».

55 But Jesus turned and rebuked them.

55 فَٱلْتَفَتَ وَٱنْتَهَرَهُمَا وَقَالَ: «لَسْتُمَا تَعْلَمَانِ مِنْ أَيِّ رُوحٍ أَنْتُمَا!

56 And He and His disciples went on to another village.

56 لِأَنَّ ٱبْنَ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ لَمْ يَأْتِ لِيُهْلِكَ أَنْفُسَ ٱلنَّاسِ، بَلْ لِيُخَلِّصَ». فَمَضَوْا إِلَى قَرْيَةٍ أُخْرَى.

57 As they were walking along the road, someone said to Jesus, “I will follow You wherever You go.”

57 وَفِيمَا هُمْ سَائِرُونَ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ قَالَ لَهُ وَاحِدٌ: «يَا سَيِّدُ، أَتْبَعُكَ أَيْنَمَا تَمْضِي».

58 Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay His head.”

58 فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «لِلثَّعَالِبِ أَوْجِرَةٌ، وَلِطُيُورِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ أَوْكَارٌ، وَأَمَّا ٱبْنُ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ فَلَيْسَ لَهُ أَيْنَ يُسْنِدُ رَأْسَهُ».

59 Then He said to another man, “Follow Me.” The man replied, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”

59 وَقَالَ لِآخَرَ: «ٱتْبَعْنِي». فَقَالَ: «يَا سَيِّدُ، ٱئْذَنْ لِي أَنْ أَمْضِيَ أَوَّلًا وَأَدْفِنَ أَبِي».

60 But Jesus told him, “Let the dead bury their own dead. You, however, go and proclaim the kingdom of God.”

60 فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «دَعِ ٱلْمَوْتَى يَدْفِنُونَ مَوْتَاهُمْ، وَأَمَّا أَنْتَ فَٱذْهَبْ وَنَادِ بِمَلَكُوتِ ٱللهِ».

61 Still another said, “I will follow You, Lord; but first let me bid farewell to my family.”

61 وَقَالَ آخَرُ أَيْضًا: «أَتْبَعُكَ يَا سَيِّدُ، وَلَكِنِ ٱئْذَنْ لِي أَوَّلًا أَنْ أُوَدِّعَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي بَيْتِي».

62 Then Jesus declared, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and then looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.”

62 فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ يَضَعُ يَدَهُ عَلَى ٱلْمِحْرَاثِ وَيَنْظُرُ إِلَى ٱلْوَرَاءِ يَصْلُحُ لِمَلَكُوتِ ٱللهِ».
