Mark 6

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

1 وَخَرَجَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ وَجَاءَ إِلَى وَطَنِهِ وَتَبِعَهُ تَلَامِيذُهُ.

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 كَانَ ٱلسَّبْتُ، ٱبْتَدَأَ يُعَلِّمُ فِي ٱلْمَجْمَعِ. وَكَثِيرُونَ إِذْ سَمِعُوا بُهِتُوا قَائِلِينَ: «مِنْ أَيْنَ لِهَذَا هَذِهِ؟ وَمَا هَذِهِ ٱلْحِكْمَةُ ٱلَّتِي أُعْطِيَتْ لَهُ حَتَّى تَجْرِيَ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ قُوَّاتٌ مِثْلُ هَذِهِ؟

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 ٱلنَّجَّارَ ٱبْنَ مَرْيَمَ، وَأَخُو يَعْقُوبَ وَيُوسِي وَيَهُوذَا وَسِمْعَانَ؟ أَوَلَيْسَتْ أَخَوَاتُهُ هَهُنَا عِنْدَنَا؟». فَكَانُوا يَعْثُرُونَ بِهِ.

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

4 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «لَيْسَ نَبِيٌّ بِلَا كَرَامَةٍ إِلَّا فِي وَطَنِهِ 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 يَصْنَعَ هُنَاكَ وَلَا قُوَّةً وَاحِدَةً، غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ وَضَعَ يَدَيْهِ عَلَى مَرْضَى قَلِيلِينَ 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. وَصَارَ يَطُوفُ ٱلْقُرَى ٱلْمُحِيطَةَ 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 وَدَعَا ٱلِٱثْنَيْ عَشَرَ وَٱبْتَدَأَ يُرْسِلُهُمُ ٱثْنَيْنِ ٱثْنَيْنِ، وَأَعْطَاهُمْ سُلْطَانًا عَلَى ٱلْأَرْوَاحِ ٱلنَّجِسَةِ،

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 شَيْئًا لِلطَّرِيقِ غَيْرَ عَصًا فَقَطْ، لَا مِزْوَدًا وَلَا خُبْزًا وَلَا نُحَاسًا فِي ٱلْمِنْطَقَةِ.

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

9 بَلْ يَكُونُوا مَشْدُودِينَ بِنِعَالٍ، وَلَا يَلْبَسُوا ثَوْبَيْنِ.

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

10 وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «حَيْثُمَا دَخَلْتُمْ بَيْتًا فَأَقِيمُوا فِيهِ حَتَّى تَخْرُجُوا 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 وَكُلُّ مَنْ لَا يَقْبَلُكُمْ وَلَا يَسْمَعُ لَكُمْ، فَٱخْرُجُوا مِنْ هُنَاكَ وَٱنْفُضُوا ٱلتُّرَابَ ٱلَّذِي تَحْتَ أَرْجُلِكُمْ شَهَادَةً عَلَيْهِمْ. اَلْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: سَتَكُونُ لِأَرْضِ سَدُومَ وَعَمُورَةَ يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ حَالَةٌ أَكْثَرُ ٱحْتِمَالًا مِمَّا لِتِلْكَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ».

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

12 فَخَرَجُوا وَصَارُوا يَكْرِزُونَ أَنْ يَتُوبُوا.

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

13 وَأَخْرَجُوا شَيَاطِينَ كَثِيرَةً، وَدَهَنُوا بِزَيْتٍ مَرْضَى كَثِيرِينَ فَشَفَوْهُمْ.

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 فَسَمِعَ هِيرُودُسُ ٱلْمَلِكُ، لِأَنَّ ٱسْمَهُ صَارَ مَشْهُورًا. وَقَالَ: «إِنَّ يُوحَنَّا ٱلْمَعْمَدَانَ قَامَ مِنَ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ وَلِذَلِكَ تُعْمَلُ بِهِ ٱلْقُوَّاتُ».

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

15 قَالَ آخَرُونَ: «إِنَّهُ إِيلِيَّا». وَقَالَ آخَرُونَ: «إِنَّهُ نَبِيٌّ أَوْ كَأَحَدِ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ».

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

16 وَلَكِنْ لَمَّا سَمِعَ هِيرُودُسُ قَالَ: «هَذَا هُوَ يُوحَنَّا ٱلَّذِي قَطَعْتُ أَنَا رَأْسَهُ. إِنَّهُ قَامَ مِنَ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ!».

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 لِأَنَّ هِيرُودُسَ نَفْسَهُ كَانَ قَدْ أَرْسَلَ وَأَمْسَكَ يُوحَنَّا وَأَوْثَقَهُ فِي ٱلسِّجْنِ مِنْ أَجْلِ هِيرُودِيَّا ٱمْرَأَةِ فِيلُبُّسَ أَخِيهِ، إِذْ كَانَ قَدْ تَزَوَّجَ بِهَا.

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

18 لِأَنَّ يُوحَنَّا كَانَ يَقُولُ لِهِيرُودُسَ: «لَا يَحِلُّ أَنْ تَكُونَ لَكَ ٱمْرَأَةُ أَخِيكَ».

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

19 فَحَنِقَتْ هِيرُودِيَّا عَلَيْهِ، وَأَرَادَتْ أَنْ تَقْتُلَهُ وَلَمْ تَقْدِرْ،

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 لِأَنَّ هِيرُودُسَ كَانَ يَهَابُ يُوحَنَّا عَالِمًا أَنَّهُ رَجُلٌ بَارٌّ وَقِدِّيسٌ، وَكَانَ يَحْفَظُهُ. وَإِذْ سَمِعَهُ، فَعَلَ كَثِيرًا، وَسَمِعَهُ بِسُرُورٍ.

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 وَإِذْ كَانَ يَوْمٌ مُوافِقٌ، لَمَّا صَنَعَ هِيرُودُسُ فِي مَوْلِدِهِ عَشَاءً لِعُظَمَائِهِ وَقُوَّادِ ٱلْأُلُوفِ وَوُجُوهِ ٱلْجَلِيلِ،

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 دَخَلَتِ ٱبْنَةُ هِيرُودِيَّا وَرَقَصَتْ، فَسَرَّتْ هِيرُودُسَ وَٱلْمُتَّكِئِينَ مَعَهُ. فَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ لِلصَّبِيَّةِ: «مَهْمَا أَرَدْتِ ٱطْلُبِي مِنِّي فَأُعْطِيَكِ».

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

23 وَأَقْسَمَ لَهَا أَنْ: «مَهْمَا طَلَبْتِ مِنِّي لَأُعْطِيَنَّكِ حَتَّى 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 وَقَالَتْ لِأُمِّهَا: «مَاذَا أَطْلُبُ؟». فَقَالَتْ: «رَأْسَ يُوحَنَّا ٱلْمَعْمَدَانِ».

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 فَدَخَلَتْ لِلْوَقْتِ بِسُرْعَةٍ إِلَى ٱلْمَلِكِ وَطَلَبَتْ قَائِلَةً: «أُرِيدُ أَنْ تُعْطِيَنِي حَالًا رَأْسَ يُوحَنَّا ٱلْمَعْمَدَانِ 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 ٱلْمَلِكُ جِدًّا. وَلِأَجْلِ ٱلْأَقْسَامِ وَٱلْمُتَّكِئِينَ لَمْ يُرِدْ أَنْ يَرُدَّهَا.

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 فَلِلْوَقْتِ أَرْسَلَ ٱلْمَلِكُ سَيَّافًا وَأَمَرَ أَنْ يُؤْتَى بِرَأْسِهِ.

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

28 فَمَضَى وَقَطَعَ رَأْسَهُ فِي ٱلسِّجْنِ. وَأَتَى بِرَأْسِهِ عَلَى طَبَقٍ وَأَعْطَاهُ لِلصَّبِيَّةِ، وَٱلصَّبِيَّةُ أَعْطَتْهُ لِأُمِّهَا.

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

29 وَلَمَّا سَمِعَ تَلَامِيذُهُ، جَاءُوا وَرَفَعُوا جُثَّتَهُ وَوَضَعُوهَا فِي قَبْرٍ.

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

30 وَٱجْتَمَعَ ٱلرُّسُلُ إِلَى يَسُوعَ وَأَخْبَرُوهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ، كُلِّ مَا فَعَلُوا وَكُلِّ مَا عَلَّمُوا.

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 مُنْفَرِدِينَ إِلَى مَوْضِعٍ خَلَاءٍ وَٱسْتَرِيحُوا قَلِيلًا». لِأَنَّ ٱلْقَادِمِينَ وَٱلذَّاهِبِينَ كَانُوا كَثِيرِينَ، وَلَمْ تَتَيَسَّرْ لَهُمْ فُرْصَةٌ لِلْأَكْلِ.

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

32 فَمَضَوْا فِي ٱلسَّفِينَةِ إِلَى مَوْضِعٍ خَلَاءٍ 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 فَرَآهُمُ ٱلْجُمُوعُ مُنْطَلِقِينَ، وَعَرَفَهُ كَثِيرُونَ. فَتَرَاكَضُوا إِلَى هُنَاكَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلْمُدُنِ مُشَاةً، وَسَبَقُوهُمْ وَٱجْتَمَعُوا إِلَيْهِ.

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 خَرَجَ يَسُوعُ رَأَى جَمْعًا كَثِيرًا، فَتَحَنَّنَ عَلَيْهِمْ إِذْ كَانُوا كَخِرَافٍ لَا رَاعِيَ لَهَا، فَٱبْتَدَأَ يُعَلِّمُهُمْ كَثِيرًا.

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 وَبَعْدَ سَاعَاتٍ كَثِيرَةٍ تَقَدَّمَ إِلَيْهِ تَلَامِيذُهُ قَائِلِينَ: «ٱلْمَوْضِعُ خَلَاءٌ وَٱلْوَقْتُ مَضَى.

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

36 اِصْرِفْهُمْ لِكَيْ يَمْضُوا إِلَى ٱلضِّيَاعِ وَٱلْقُرَى حَوَالَيْنَا وَيَبْتَاعُوا لَهُمْ خُبْزًا، لِأَنْ لَيْسَ عِنْدَهُمْ 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 فَأَجَابَ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَعْطُوهُمْ أَنْتُمْ لِيَأْكُلُوا». فَقَالُوا لَهُ: «أَنَمْضِي وَنَبْتَاعُ خُبْزًا بِمِئَتَيْ دِينَارٍ وَنُعْطِيَهُمْ لِيَأْكُلُوا؟».

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

38 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «كَمْ رَغِيفًا عِنْدَكُمُ؟ ٱذْهَبُوا وَٱنْظُرُوا». وَلَمَّا عَلِمُوا قَالُوا: «خَمْسَةٌ وَسَمَكَتَانِ».

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

39 فَأَمَرَهُمْ أَنْ يَجْعَلُوا ٱلْجَمِيعَ يَتَّكِئُونَ رِفَاقًا رِفَاقًا عَلَى ٱلْعُشْبِ ٱلْأَخْضَرِ.

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

40 فَاتَّكَأُوا صُفُوفًا صُفُوفًا: مِئَةً مِئَةً وَخَمْسِينَ 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 فَأَخَذَ ٱلْأَرْغِفَةَ ٱلْخَمْسَةَ وَٱلسَّمَكَتَيْنِ، وَرَفَعَ نَظَرَهُ نَحْوَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، وَبَارَكَ ثُمَّ كَسَّرَ ٱلْأَرْغِفَةَ، وَأَعْطَى تَلَامِيذَهُ لِيُقَدِّمُوا إِلَيْهِمْ، وَقَسَّمَ ٱلسَّمَكَتَيْنِ لِلْجَمِيعِ،

42 They all ate and were satisfied,

42 فَأَكَلَ ٱلْجَمِيعُ وَشَبِعُوا.

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

43 ثُمَّ رَفَعُوا مِنَ ٱلْكِسَرِ ٱثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ قُفَّةً مَمْلُوَّةً، وَمِنَ ٱلسَّمَكِ.

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

44 وَكَانَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَكَلُوا مِنَ ٱلْأَرْغِفَةِ نَحْوَ خَمْسَةِ آلَافِ 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 وَلِلْوَقْتِ أَلْزَمَ تَلَامِيذَهُ أَنْ يَدْخُلُوا ٱلسَّفِينَةَ وَيَسْبِقُوا إِلَى ٱلْعَبْرِ، إِلَى بَيْتِ صَيْدَا، حَتَّى يَكُونَ قَدْ صَرَفَ ٱلْجَمْعَ.

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

46 وَبَعْدَمَا وَدَّعَهُمْ مَضَى إِلَى ٱلْجَبَلِ لِيُصَلِّيَ.

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

47 وَلَمَّا صَارَ ٱلْمَسَاءُ كَانَتِ ٱلسَّفِينَةُ فِي وَسْطِ ٱلْبَحْرِ، وَهُوَ عَلَى ٱلْبَرِّ وَحْدَهُ.

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 وَرَآهُمْ مُعَذَّبِينَ فِي ٱلْجَذْفِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرِّيحَ كَانَتْ ضِدَّهُمْ. وَنَحْوَ ٱلْهَزِيعِ ٱلرَّابِعِ مِنَ ٱللَّيْلِ أَتَاهُمْ مَاشِيًا عَلَى ٱلْبَحْرِ، وَأَرَادَ أَنْ يَتَجَاوَزَهُمْ.

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

49 فَلَمَّا رَأَوْهُ مَاشِيًا عَلَى ٱلْبَحْرِ ظَنُّوهُ خَيَالًا، 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 لِأَنَّ ٱلْجَمِيعَ رَأَوْهُ وَٱضْطَرَبُوا. فَلِلْوَقْتِ كَلَّمَهُمْ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «ثِقُوا! 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 فَصَعِدَ إِلَيْهِمْ إِلَى ٱلسَّفِينَةِ فَسَكَنَتِ ٱلرِّيحُ، فَبُهِتُوا وَتَعَجَّبُوا فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ جِدًّا إِلَى ٱلْغَايَةِ،

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

52 لِأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَفْهَمُوا بِٱلْأَرْغِفَةِ إِذْ كَانَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ غَلِيظَةً.

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

53 فَلَمَّا عَبَرُوا جَاءُوا إِلَى أَرْضِ جَنِّيسَارَتَ وَأَرْسَوْا.

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

54 وَلَمَّا خَرَجُوا مِنَ ٱلسَّفِينَةِ لِلْوَقْتِ عَرَفُوهُ.

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

55 فَطَافُوا جَمِيعَ تِلْكَ ٱلْكُورَةِ ٱلْمُحِيطَةِ، وَٱبْتَدَأُوا يَحْمِلُونَ ٱلْمَرْضَى عَلَى أَسِرَّةٍ إِلَى حَيْثُ سَمِعُوا أَنَّهُ هُنَاكَ.

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 وَحَيْثُمَا دَخَلَ إِلَى قُرىً أَوْ مُدُنٍ أَوْ ضِيَاعٍ، وَضَعُوا ٱلْمَرْضَى فِي ٱلْأَسْوَاقِ، وَطَلَبُوا إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يَلْمِسُوا وَلَوْ هُدْبَ ثَوْبِهِ. وَكُلُّ مَنْ لَمَسَهُ شُفِيَ.
