Mark 6

1 Jesus went on from there and came to His hometown, accompanied by His disciples.

1 وَغَادَرَ يَسُوعُ ذلِكَ الْمَكَانَ وَعَادَ إِلَى بَلْدَتِهِ، وَتَلامِيذُهُ يَتْبَعُونَهُ.

2 When the Sabbath came, He began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard Him were astonished. “Where did this man get these ideas?” they asked. “What is this wisdom He has been given? And how can He perform such miracles?

2 وَلَمَّا حَلَّ السَّبْتُ، أَخَذَ يُعَلِّمُ فِي الْمَجْمَعِ، فَدُهِشَ كَثِيرُونَ حِينَ سَمِعُوهُ، وَقَالُوا: «مِنْ أَيْنَ لَهُ هَذَا؟ وَمَا هذِهِ الْحِكْمَةُ الْمَوْهُوبَةُ لَهُ، وَهذِهِ الْمُعْجِزَاتُ الْجَارِيَةُ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ؟

3 Isn’t this the carpenter, the son of Mary and the brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? Aren’t His sisters here with us as well?” And they took offense at Him.

3 أَلَيْسَ هَذَا هُوَ النَّجَّارَ ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ، وَأَخَا يَعْقُوبَ وَيُوسِي وَيَهُوذَا وَسِمْعَانَ؟ أَوَلَيْسَتْ أَخَوَاتُهُ عِنْدَنَا هُنَا؟» هكَذَا كَانُوا يَشُكُّونَ فِيهِ.

4 Then Jesus said to them, “Only in his hometown, among his relatives, and in his own household is a prophet without honor.”

4 وَلكِنَّ يَسُوعَ قَالَ لَهُمْ: «لا يَكُونُ النَّبِيُّ بِلا كَرَامَةٍ إِلّا فِي بَلْدَتِهِ، وَبَيْنَ أَقْرِبَائِهِ، وَفِي بَيْتِهِ!»

5 So He could not perform any miracles there, except to lay His hands on a few of the sick and heal them.

5 وَلَمْ يَقْدِرْ أَنْ يَعْمَلَ هُنَاكَ أَيَّةَ مُعْجِزَةٍ، غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ لَمَسَ بِيَدَيْهِ عَدَداً قَلِيلاً مِنَ الْمَرْضَى فَشَفَاهُمْ.

6 And He was amazed at their unbelief. And He went around from village to village, teaching the people.

6 وَتَعَجَّبَ مِنْ عَدَمِ إِيمَانِهِمْ. ثُمَّ أَخَذَ يَطُوفُ بِالْقُرَى الْمُجَاوِرَةِ وَهُوَ يُعَلِّمُ.

7 Then Jesus called the Twelve to Him and began to send them out two by two, giving them authority over unclean spirits.

7 ثُمَّ اسْتَدْعَى الاِثْنَيْ عَشَرَ تِلْمِيذاً، وَأَخَذَ يُرْسِلُهُمُ اثْنَيْنِ اثْنَيْنِ، وَقَدْ أَعْطَاهُمْ سُلْطَةً عَلَى الأَرْوَاحِ النَّجِسَةِ،

8 He instructed them to take nothing but a staff for the journey—no bread, no bag, no money in their belts—

8 وَأَوْصَاهُمْ أَنْ لَا يَحْمِلُوا لِلطَّرِيقِ شَيْئاً إِلّا عَصاً، لَا خُبْزاً وَلا زَاداً وَلا مَالاً ضِمْنَ أَحْزِمَتِهِمْ،

9 and to wear sandals, but not a second tunic.

9 بَلْ يَنْتَعِلُوا حِذَاءً وَيَلْبَسُوا رِدَاءً وَاحِداً.

10 And He told them, “When you enter a house, stay there until you leave that area.

10 وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَيْنَمَا دَخَلْتُمْ بَيْتاً، فَأَقِيمُوا فِيهِ إِلَى أَنْ تَرْحَلُوا مِنْ هُنَاكَ.

11 If anyone will not welcome you or listen to you, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that place, as a testimony against them.”

11 وَإِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ لَا يَقْبَلُكُمْ وَلا يَسْمَعُ لَكُمْ فِي مَكَانٍ مَا، فَاخْرُجُوا مِنْ هُنَاكَ، وَانْفُضُوا التُّرَابَ عَنْ أَقْدَامِكُمْ شَهَادَةً عَلَيْهِمْ».

12 So they set out and preached that the people should repent.

12 فَانْطَلَقُوا يُبَشِّرُونَ دَاعِينَ إِلَى التَّوْبَةِ،

13 They also drove out many demons and healed many of the sick, anointing them with oil.

13 وَطَرَدُوا شَيَاطِينَ كَثِيرَةً، وَدَهَنُوا كَثِيرِينَ مِنَ الْمَرْضَى بِزَيْتٍ، وَشَفَوْهُمْ.

14 Now King Herod heard about this, for Jesus’ name had become well known, and people were saying, “John the Baptist has risen from the dead! That is why miraculous powers are at work in him.”

14 وَسَمِعَ الْمَلِكُ هِيرُودُسُ عَنْ يَسُوعَ، لأَنَّ اسْمَهُ كَانَ قَدْ صَارَ مَشْهُوراً، إِذْ قَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ: «هَذَا يُوحَنَّا الْمَعْمَدَانُ وَقَدْ قَامَ مِنْ بَيْنِ الأَمْوَاتِ، وَلِذلِكَ تُجْرَى عَلَى يَدِهِ الْمُعْجِزَاتُ!»

15 Others were saying, “He is Elijah,” and still others, “He is a prophet, like one of the prophets of old.”

15 وَآخَرُونَ قَالُوا: «هَذَا إِيلِيَّا» وَغَيْرُهُمْ قَالُوا: «هَذَا نَبِيٌّ كَبَاقِي الأَنْبِيَاءِ!»

16 But when Herod heard this, he said, “John, whom I beheaded, has risen from the dead!”

16 وَأَمَّا هِيرُودُسُ، فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ قَالَ «مَا هُوَ إِلّا يُوحَنَّا الَّذِي قَطَعْتُ أَنَا رَأْسَهُ، وَقَدْ قَامَ!»

17 For Herod himself had ordered that John be arrested and bound and imprisoned, on account of his brother Philip’s wife Herodias, whom Herod had married.

17 فَإِنَّ هِيرُودُسَ هَذَا كَانَ قَدْ أَرْسَلَ وَقَبَضَ عَلَى يُوحَنَّا وَقَيَّدَهُ فِي السِّجْنِ. وَذلِكَ مِنْ أَجْلِ هِيرُودِيَّا الَّتِي تَزَوَّجَهَا هِيِرُودُسُ وَهِيَ زَوْجَةُ أَخِيهِ فِيلِبُّسَ.

18 For John had been telling Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife!”

18 فَإِنَّ يُوحَنَّا كَانَ يَقُولُ لَهُ: «لَيْسَ حَلالاً لَكَ أَنْ تَتَزَوَّجَ بِزَوْجَةِ أَخِيكَ!»

19 So Herodias held a grudge against John and wanted to kill him. But she had been unable,

19 فَكَانَتْ هِيرُودِيَّا نَاقِمَةً عَلَى يُوحَنَّا، وَتَتَمَنَّى أَنْ تَقْتُلَهُ، وَلَكِنَّهَا لَمْ تَسْتَطِعْ.

20 because Herod feared John and protected him, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man. When he heard John’s words, he was greatly perplexed; yet he listened to him gladly.

20 فَقَدْ كَانَ هِيرُودُسُ يَرْهَبُ يُوحَنَّا لِعِلْمِهِ أَنَّهُ رَجُلٌ بَارٌّ وَقِدِّيسٌ، وَكَانَ يُحَافِظُ عَلَى سَلامَتِهِ. وَمَعَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَتَضَايَقُ كَثِيراً مِنْ كَلامِهِ، إِلّا أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُحِبُّ الاسْتِمَاعَ إِلَيْهِ.

21 On Herod’s birthday, her opportunity arose. Herod held a banquet for his nobles and military commanders and the leading men of Galilee.

21 ثُمَّ سَنَحَتِ الْفُرْصَةُ عِنْدَمَا أَقَامَ هِيرُودُسُ بِمُنَاسَبَةِ ذِكْرَى مَوْلِدِهِ وَلِيمَةً لِعُظَمَائِهِ وَقَادَةِ الأُلُوفِ وَأَعْيَانِ مِنْطَقَةِ الْجَلِيلِ.

22 When the daughter of Herodias came and danced, she pleased Herod and his guests, and the king said to the girl, “Ask me for whatever you wish, and I will give it to you.”

22 فَقَدْ دَخَلَتِ ابْنَةُ هِيرُودِيَّا وَرَقَصَتْ، فَسَرَّتْ هِيرُودُسَ وَالْمُتَّكِئِينَ مَعَهُ. فَقَالَ الْمَلِكُ لِلصَّبِيَّةِ: «اطْلُبِي مِنِّي مَا تُرِيدِينَ، فَأُعْطِيَكِ إِيَّاهُ!»

23 And he swore to her, “Whatever you ask of me, I will give you, up to half my kingdom!”

23 وَأَقْسَمَ لَهَا قَائِلاً: «لأُعْطِيَنَّكِ مَهْمَا طَلَبْتِ مِنِّي، وَلَوْ نِصْفَ مَمْلَكَتِي!»

24 Then she went out and asked her mother, “What should I request?” And her mother answered, “The head of John the Baptist.”

24 فَخَرَجَتْ وَسَأَلَتْ أُمَّهَا: «مَاذَا أَطْلُبُ؟» فَأَجَابَتْ: «رَأْسَ يُوحَنَّا الْمَعْمَدَانِ!»

25 At once the girl hurried back to the king with her request: “I want you to give me the head of John the Baptist on a platter immediately.”

25 فَعَادَتْ فِي الْحَالِ إِلَى الدَّاخِلِ وَطَلَبَتْ مِنَ الْمَلِكِ قَائِلَةً: «أُرِيدُ أَنْ تُعْطِيَنِي حَالاً رَأْسَ يُوحَنَّا الْمَعْمَدَانِ عَلَى طَبَقٍ!»

26 The king was consumed with sorrow, but because of his oaths and his guests, he did not want to refuse her.

26 فَحَزِنَ الْمَلِكُ جِدّاً. وَلكِنَّهُ لأَجْلِ مَا أَقْسَمَ بِهِ وَلأَجْلِ الْمُتَّكِئِينَ مَعَهُ، لَمْ يُرِدْ أَنْ يُخْلِفَ وَعْدَهُ لَهَا.

27 So without delay, the king commanded that John’s head be brought in. He sent an executioner, who went and beheaded him in the prison.

27 وَفِي الْحَالِ أَرْسَلَ الْمَلِكُ سَيَّافاً وَأَمَرَ أَنْ يُؤْتَى بِرَأْسِ يُوحَنَّا. فَذَهَبَ السَّيَّافُ وَقَطَعَ رَأْسَ يُوحَنَّا فِي السِّجْنِ،

28 The man brought John’s head on a platter and presented it to the girl, who gave it to her mother.

28 ثُمَّ جَاءَ بِالرَّأْسِ عَلَى طَبَقٍ وَقَدَّمَهُ إِلَى الصَّبِيَّةِ فَحَمَلَتْهُ إِلَى أُمِّهَا.

29 When John’s disciples heard about this, they came and took his body and placed it in a tomb.

29 وَلَمَّا سَمِعَ تَلامِيذُ يُوحَنَّا بِذلِكَ، جَاءُوا وَرَفَعُوا جُثْمَانَهُ، وَدَفَنُوهُ فِي قَبْرٍ.

30 Meanwhile, the apostles gathered around Jesus and brought Him news of all they had done and taught.

30 وَاجْتَمَعَ الرُّسُلُ إِلَى يَسُوعَ، وَأَخْبَرُوهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ: بِمَا عَمِلُوهُ وَمَا عَلَّمُوهُ.

31 And He said to them, “Come with Me privately to a solitary place, and let us rest for a while.” For many people were coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat.

31 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «تَعَالَوْا أَنْتُمْ عَلَى انْفِرَادٍ إِلَى مَكَانٍ خَالٍ، وَاسْتَرِيحُوا قَلِيلاً». فَقَدْ كَانَ الْقَادِمُونَ وَالذَّاهِبُونَ كَثِيرِينَ حَتَّى لَمْ يَدَعُوا لَهُمْ فُرْصَةً لِلأَكْلِ.

32 So they went away in a boat by themselves to a solitary place.

32 فَذَهَبَ التَّلامِيذُ فِي الْقَارِبِ إِلَى مَكَانٍ مُقْفِرٍ مُنْفَرِدِينَ.

33 But many people saw them leaving and recognized them. They ran together on foot from all the towns and arrived before them.

33 وَلَكِنَّ كَثِيرِينَ رَأَوْهُمْ مُنْطَلِقِينَ، فَعَرَفُوا وَجْهَتَهُمْ، وَأَخَذُوا يَتَرَاكَضُونَ مَعاً إِلَى هُنَاكَ سَيْراً عَلَى الأَقْدَامِ، خَارِجِينَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ الْمُدُنِ، فَسَبَقُوهُمْ.

34 When Jesus stepped ashore and saw a large crowd, He had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. And He began to teach them many things.

34 فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ يَسُوعُ مِنَ الْقَارِبِ، رَأَى الْجَمْعَ الْكَثِيرَ وَتَحَنَّنَ عَلَيْهِمْ، لأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا كَغَنَمٍ لَا رَاعِيَ لَهَا. فَأَخَذَ يُعَلِّمُهُمْ أُمُوراً كَثِيرَةً.

35 By now the hour was already late. So the disciples came to Jesus and said, “This is a desolate place, and the hour is already late.

35 وَلَمَّا مَضَى جُزْءٌ كَبِيرٌ مِنَ النَّهَارِ، تَقَدَّمَ إِلَيْهِ تَلامِيذُهُ، وَقَالُوا: «الْمَكَانُ مُقْفِرٌ، وَالنَّهَارُ كَادَ يَنْقَضِي.

36 Dismiss the crowd so they can go to the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat.”

36 فَاصْرِفِ الْجَمْعَ لِيَذْهَبُوا إِلَى الْقُرَى وَالْمَزَارِعِ الْمُجَاوِرَةِ وَيَشْتَرُوا لأَنْفُسِهِمْ مَا يَأْكُلُونَ».

37 But Jesus told them, “You give them something to eat.” They asked Him, “Should we go out and spend two hundred denarii to give all of them bread to eat?”

37 فَرَدَّ قَائِلاً: «أَعْطُوهُمْ أَنْتُمْ لِيَأْكُلُوا!» فَقَالُوا لَهُ: «هَلْ نَذْهَبُ وَنَشْتَرِي بِمِئَتَيْ دِينَارٍ خُبْزاً وَنُعْطِيهِمْ لِيَأْكُلُوا؟»

38 “Go and see how many loaves you have,” He told them. And after checking, they said, “Five—and two fish.”

38 فَسَأَلَهُمْ: «كَمْ رَغِيفاً عِنْدَكُمْ؟ اذْهَبُوا وَانْظُرُوا». فَلَمَّا تَحَقَّقُوا، قَالُوا: «خَمْسَةٌ، وَسَمَكَتَانِ!»

39 Then Jesus directed them to have the people sit in groups on the green grass.

39 فَأَمَرَهُمْ أَنْ يُجْلِسُوا الْجَمْعَ جَمَاعَاتٍ جَمَاعَاتٍ عَلَى الْعُشْبِ الأَخْضَرِ.

40 So they sat down in groups of hundreds and fifties.

40 فَجَلَسُوا فِي حَلَقَاتٍ تَتَأَلَّفُ كُلٌّ مِنْهَا مِنْ مِئَةٍ أَوْ خَمْسِينَ.

41 Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, Jesus spoke a blessing and broke the loaves. Then He gave them to His disciples to set before the people. And He divided the two fish among them all.

41 ثُمَّ أَخَذَ يَسُوعُ الأَرْغِفَةَ الْخَمْسَةَ وَالسَّمَكَتَيْنِ، وَرَفَعَ نَظَرَهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَبَارَكَ، وَكَسَّرَ الأَرْغِفَةَ، وَأَعْطَى تَلامِيذَهُ لِيُقَدِّمُوا لِلْجَمْعِ وَالسَّمَكَتَانِ قَسَّمَهُمَا لِلْجَمِيعِ.

42 They all ate and were satisfied,

42 فَأَكَلُوا جَمِيعاً وَشَبِعُوا.

43 and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces of bread and fish.

43 ثُمَّ رَفَعُوا اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ قُفَّةً مَمْلُوءَةً مِنْ كِسَرِ الْخُبْزِ وَبَقَايَا السَّمَكِ.

44 And there were five thousand men who had eaten the loaves.

44 وَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ أَكَلُوا مِنَ الْخُبْزِ، فَكَانُوا خَمْسَةَ آلافِ رَجُلٍ.

45 Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of Him to Bethsaida, while He dismissed the crowd.

45 وَفِي الْحَالِ أَلْزَمَ تَلامِيذَهُ أَنْ يَرْكَبُوا الْقَارِبَ وَيَسْبِقُوهُ إِلَى الضَّفَّةِ الْمُقَابِلَةِ، إِلَى بَيْتِ صَيْدَا، حَتَّى يَصْرِفَ الْجَمْعَ.

46 After bidding them farewell, He went up on the mountain to pray.

46 وَبَعْدَمَا صَرَفَهُمْ ذَهَبَ إِلَى الْجَبَلِ لِيُصَلِّيَ.

47 When evening came, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and Jesus was alone on land.

47 وَلَمَّا حَلَّ الْمَسَاءُ، كَانَ الْقَارِبُ فِي وَسَطِ الْبُحَيْرَةِ، وَيَسُوعُ وَحْدَهُ عَلَى الْبَرِّ.

48 He could see that the disciples were straining to row, because the wind was against them. About the fourth watch of the night, Jesus went out to them, walking on the sea. He intended to pass by them,

48 وَإِذْ رَآهُمْ يَتَعَذَّبُونَ فِي التَّجْذِيفِ، لأَنَّ الرِّيحَ كَانَتْ مُعَاكِسَةً لَهُمْ، جَاءَ إِلَيْهِمْ مَاشِياً عَلَى مَاءِ الْبُحَيْرَةِ، نَحْوَ الرُّبْعِ الأَخِيرِ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ، وَكَادَ أَنْ يَتَجَاوَزَهُمْ.

49 but when they saw Him walking on the sea, they cried out, thinking He was a ghost—

49 وَلَكِنَّهُمْ لَمَّا رَأَوْهُ مَاشِياً عَلَى الْمَاءِ، ظَنُّوهُ شَبَحاً فَصَرَخُوا.

50 for they all saw Him and were terrified. But Jesus spoke up at once: “Take courage! It is I. Do not be afraid.”

50 فَقَدْ رَأَوْهُ كُلُّهُمْ وَذُعِرُوا. إِلّا أَنَّهُ كَلَّمَهُمْ فِي الْحَالِ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «تَشَجَّعُوا، أَنَا هُوَ، لَا تَخَافُوا!»

51 Then He climbed into the boat with them, and the wind died down. And the disciples were utterly astounded,

51 وَصَعِدَ إِلَيْهِمْ فِي الْقَارِبِ فَسَكَنَتِ الرِّيحُ. فَدُهِشُوا دَهْشَةً فَائِقَةً، وَتَعَجَّبُوا جِدّاً،

52 for they had not understood about the loaves, but their hearts had been hardened.

52 لأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَفْهَمُوا بِمُعْجِزَةِ الأَرْغِفَةِ، فَقَدْ كَانَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ قَاسِيَةً.

53 When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret and moored the boat.

53 وَلَمَّا عَبَرُوا إِلَى الضَّفَّةِ الْمُقَابِلَةِ، جَاءُوا إِلَى أَرْضِ جَنِّيسَارَتَ، وَأَرْسَوْا الْقَارِبَ.

54 As soon as they got out of the boat, the people recognized Jesus

54 وَحَالَمَا نَزَلُوا مِنَ الْقَارِبِ، عَرَفَهُ النَّاسُ،

55 and ran through that whole region, carrying the sick on mats to wherever they heard He was.

55 فَطَافُوا فِي أَنْحَاءِ تِلْكَ الْبِلادِ الْمُجَاوِرَةِ، وَأَخَذُوا يَحْمِلُونَ مَنْ كَانُوا مَرْضَى عَلَى فُرُشٍ إِلَى كُلِّ مَكَانٍ يَسْمَعُونَ أَنَّهُ فِيهِ.

56 And wherever He went—villages and towns and countrysides—they laid the sick in the marketplaces and begged Him just to let them touch the fringe of His cloak. And all who touched Him were healed.

56 وَأَيْنَمَا دَخَلَ، إِلَى الْقُرَى أَوِ الْمُدُنِ أَوِ الْمَزَارِعِ، وَضَعُوا الْمَرْضَى فِي السَّاحَاتِ الْعَامَّةِ، مُتَوَسِّلِينَ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يَلْمِسُوا وَلَوْ طَرَفَ رِدَائِهِ. فَكَانَ كُلُّ مَنْ يَلْمِسُهُ يُشْفَى.
