Mark 7

1 Then the Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem gathered around Jesus,

1 وَٱجْتَمَعَ إِلَيْهِ ٱلْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ وَقَوْمٌ مِنَ ٱلْكَتَبَةِ قَادِمِينَ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ.

2 and they saw some of His disciples eating with hands that were defiled—that is, unwashed.

2 وَلَمَّا رَأَوْا بَعْضًا مِنْ تَلَامِيذِهِ يَأْكُلُونَ خُبْزًا بِأَيْدٍ دَنِسَةٍ، أَيْ غَيْرِ مَغْسُولَةٍ، لَامُوا.

3 Now in holding to the tradition of the elders, the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat until they wash their hands ceremonially.

3 لِأَنَّ ٱلْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ وَكُلَّ ٱلْيَهُودِ إِنْ لَمْ يَغْسِلُوا أَيْدِيَهُمْ بِٱعْتِنَاءٍ، لَا يَأْكُلُونَ، مُتَمَسِّكِينَ بِتَقْلِيدِ ٱلشُّيُوخِ.

4 And on returning from the market, they do not eat unless they wash. And there are many other traditions for them to observe, including the washing of cups, pitchers, kettles, and couches for dining.

4 وَمِنَ ٱلسُّوقِ إِنْ لَمْ يَغْتَسِلُوا لَا يَأْكُلُونَ. وَأَشْيَاءُ أُخْرَى كَثِيرَةٌ تَسَلَّمُوهَا لِلتَّمَسُّكِ بِهَا، مِنْ غَسْلِ كُؤُوسٍ وَأَبَارِيقَ وَآنِيَةِ نُحَاسٍ وَأَسِرَّةٍ.

5 So the Pharisees and scribes questioned Jesus: “Why do Your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders? Instead, they eat with defiled hands.”

5 ثُمَّ سَأَلَهُ ٱلْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ وَٱلْكَتَبَةُ: «لِمَاذَا لَا يَسْلُكُ تَلَامِيذُكَ حَسَبَ تَقْلِيدِ ٱلشُّيُوخِ، بَلْ يَأْكُلُونَ خُبْزًا بِأَيْدٍ غَيْرِ مَغْسُولَةٍ؟».

6 Jesus answered them, “Isaiah prophesied correctly about you hypocrites, as it is written: ‘These people honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me.

6 فَأَجَابَ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «حَسَنًا تَنَبَّأَ إِشَعْيَاءُ عَنْكُمْ أَنْتُمُ ٱلْمُرَائِينَ! كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ: هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبُ يُكْرِمُنِي بِشَفَتَيْهِ، وَأَمَّا قَلْبُهُ فَمُبْتَعِدٌ عَنِّي بَعِيدًا،

7 They worship Me in vain; they teach as doctrine the precepts of men.’

7 وَبَاطِلًا يَعْبُدُونَنِي وَهُمْ يُعَلِّمُونَ تَعَالِيمَ هِيَ وَصَايَا ٱلنَّاسِ.

8 You have disregarded the commandment of God to keep the tradition of men.”

8 لِأَنَّكُمْ تَرَكْتُمْ وَصِيَّةَ ٱللهِ وَتَتَمَسَّكُونَ بِتَقْلِيدِ ٱلنَّاسِ: غَسْلَ ٱلْأَبَارِيقِ وَٱلْكُؤُوسِ، وَأُمُورًا أُخَرَ كَثِيرَةً مِثْلَ هَذِهِ تَفْعَلُونَ».

9 He went on to say, “You neatly set aside the command of God to maintain your own tradition.

9 ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُمْ: «حَسَنًا! رَفَضْتُمْ وَصِيَّةَ ٱللهِ لِتَحْفَظُوا تَقْلِيدَكُمْ!

10 For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother’ and ‘Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.’

10 لِأَنَّ مُوسَى قَالَ: أَكْرِمْ أَبَاكَ وَأُمَّكَ، وَمَنْ يَشْتُمُ أَبًا أَوْ أُمًّا فَلْيَمُتْ مَوْتًا.

11 But you say that if a man says to his father or mother, ‘Whatever you would have received from me is Corban’ (that is, a gift devoted to God),

11 وَأَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَتَقُولُونَ: إِنْ قَالَ إِنْسَانٌ لِأَبِيهِ أَوْ أُمِّهِ: قُرْبَانٌ، أَيْ هَدِيَّةٌ، هُوَ ٱلَّذِي تَنْتَفِعُ بِهِ مِنِّي

12 he is no longer permitted to do anything for his father or mother.

12 فَلَا تَدَعُونَهُ فِي مَا بَعْدُ يَفْعَلُ شَيْئًا لِأَبِيهِ أَوْ أُمِّهِ.

13 Thus you nullify the word of God by the tradition you have handed down. And you do so in many such matters.”

13 مُبْطِلِينَ كَلَامَ ٱللهِ بِتَقْلِيدِكُمُ ٱلَّذِي سَلَّمْتُمُوهُ. وَأُمُورًا كَثِيرَةً مِثْلَ هَذِهِ تَفْعَلُونَ».

14 Once again Jesus called the crowd to Him and said, “All of you, listen to Me and understand:

14 ثُمَّ دَعَا كُلَّ ٱلْجَمْعِ وَقَالَ لَهُمُ: «ٱسْمَعُوا مِنِّي كُلُّكُمْ وَٱفْهَمُوا.

15 Nothing that enters a man from the outside can defile him; but the things that come out of a man, these are what defile him.”

15 لَيْسَ شَيْءٌ مِنْ خَارِجِ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ إِذَا دَخَلَ فِيهِ يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يُنَجِّسَهُ، لَكِنَّ ٱلْأَشْيَاءَ ٱلَّتِي تَخْرُجُ مِنْهُ هِيَ ٱلَّتِي تُنَجِّسُ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ.

16

16 إِنْ كَانَ لِأَحَدٍ أُذْنَانِ لِلسَّمْعِ، فَلْيَسْمَعْ».

17 After Jesus had left the crowd and gone into the house, His disciples inquired about the parable.

17 وَلَمَّا دَخَلَ مِنْ عِنْدِ ٱلْجَمْعِ إِلَى ٱلْبَيْتِ، سَأَلَهُ تَلَامِيذُهُ عَنِ ٱلْمَثَلِ.

18 “Are you still so dull?” He asked. “Do you not understand? Nothing that enters a man from the outside can defile him,

18 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَفَأَنْتُمْ أَيْضًا هَكَذَا غَيْرُ فَاهِمِينَ؟ أَمَا تَفْهَمُونَ أَنَّ كُلَّ مَا يَدْخُلُ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ مِنْ خَارِجٍ لَا يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يُنَجِّسَهُ،

19 because it does not enter his heart, but it goes into the stomach and then is eliminated.” (Thus all foods are clean.)

19 لِأَنَّهُ لَا يَدْخُلُ إِلَى قَلْبِهِ بَلْ إِلَى ٱلْجَوْفِ، ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ إِلَى ٱلْخَلَاءِ، وَذَلِكَ يُطَهِّرُ كُلَّ ٱلْأَطْعِمَةِ».

20 He continued: “What comes out of a man, that is what defiles him.

20 ثُمَّ قَالَ: «إِنَّ ٱلَّذِي يَخْرُجُ مِنَ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ ذَلِكَ يُنَجِّسُ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ.

21 For from within the hearts of men come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery,

21 لِأَنَّهُ مِنَ ٱلدَّاخِلِ، مِنْ قُلُوبِ ٱلنَّاسِ، تَخْرُجُ ٱلْأَفْكَارُ ٱلشِّرِّيرَةُ: زِنًى، فِسْقٌ، قَتْلٌ،

22 greed, wickedness, deceit, debauchery, envy, slander, arrogance, and foolishness.

22 سِرْقَةٌ، طَمَعٌ، خُبْثٌ، مَكْرٌ، عَهَارَةٌ، عَيْنٌ شِرِّيرَةٌ، تَجْدِيفٌ، كِبْرِيَاءُ، جَهْلٌ.

23 All these evils come from within, and these are what defile a man.”

23 جَمِيعُ هَذِهِ ٱلشُّرُورِ تَخْرُجُ مِنَ ٱلدَّاخِلِ وَتُنَجِّسُ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ».

24 Jesus left that place and went to the region of Tyre. Not wanting anyone to know He was there, He entered a house, but was unable to escape their notice.

24 ثُمَّ قَامَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ وَمَضَى إِلَى تُخُومِ صُورَ وَصَيْدَاءَ، وَدَخَلَ بَيْتًا وَهُوَ يُرِيدُ أَنْ لَا يَعْلَمَ أَحَدٌ، فَلَمْ يَقْدِرْ أَنْ يَخْتَفِيَ،

25 Instead, a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit soon heard about Jesus, and she came and fell at His feet.

25 لِأَنَّ ٱمْرَأَةً كَانَ بِٱبْنَتِهَا رُوحٌ نَجِسٌ سَمِعَتْ بِهِ، فَأَتَتْ وَخَرَّتْ عِنْدَ قَدَمَيْهِ.

26 Now she was a Greek woman of Syrophoenician origin, and she kept asking Jesus to drive the demon out of her daughter.

26 وَكَانَتْ ٱلٱمْرَأَةُ أُمَمِيَّةً، وَفِي جِنْسِهَا فِينِيقِيَّةً سُورِيَّةً. فَسَأَلَتْهُ أَنْ يُخْرِجَ ٱلشَّيْطَانَ مِنِ ٱبْنَتِهَا.

27 “First let the children have their fill,” He said. “For it is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”

27 وَأَمَّا يَسُوعُ فَقَالَ لَهَا: «دَعِي ٱلْبَنِينَ أَوَّلًا يَشْبَعُونَ، لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ حَسَنًا أَنْ يُؤْخَذَ خُبْزُ ٱلْبَنِينَ وَيُطْرَحَ لِلْكِلَابِ».

28 “Yes, Lord,” she replied, “even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.”

28 فَأَجَابَتْ وَقَالَتْ لَهُ: «نَعَمْ، يَا سَيِّدُ! وَٱلْكِلَابُ أَيْضًا تَحْتَ ٱلْمَائِدَةِ تَأْكُلُ مِنْ فُتَاتِ ٱلْبَنِينَ!».

29 Then Jesus told her, “Because of this answer, you may go. The demon has left your daughter.”

29 فَقَالَ لَهَا: «لِأَجْلِ هَذِهِ ٱلْكَلِمَةِ، ٱذْهَبِي. قَدْ خَرَجَ ٱلشَّيْطَانُ مِنِ ٱبْنَتِكِ».

30 And she went home and found her child lying on the bed, and the demon was gone.

30 فَذَهَبَتْ إِلَى بَيْتِهَا وَوَجَدَتِ ٱلشَّيْطَانَ قَدْ خَرَجَ، وَٱلِٱبْنَةَ مَطْرُوحَةً عَلَى ٱلْفِرَاشِ.

31 Then Jesus left the region of Tyre and went through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee and into the region of the Decapolis.

31 ثُمَّ خَرَجَ أَيْضًا مِنْ تُخُومِ صُورَ وَصَيْدَاءَ، وَجَاءَ إِلَى بَحْرِ ٱلْجَلِيلِ فِي وَسْطِ حُدُودِ ٱلْمُدُنِ ٱلْعَشْرِ.

32 Some people brought to Him a man who was deaf and hardly able to speak, and they begged Jesus to place His hand on him.

32 وَجَاءُوا إِلَيْهِ بِأَصَمَّ أَعْقَدَ، وَطَلَبُوا إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَيْهِ.

33 So Jesus took him aside privately, away from the crowd, and put His fingers into the man’s ears. Then He spit and touched the man’s tongue.

33 فَأَخَذَهُ مِنْ بَيْنِ ٱلْجَمْعِ عَلَى نَاحِيَةٍ، وَوَضَعَ أَصَابِعَهُ فِي أُذُنَيْهِ وَتَفَلَ وَلَمَسَ لِسَانَهُ،

34 And looking up to heaven, He sighed deeply and said to him, “Ephphatha!” (which means, “Be opened!”).

34 وَرَفَعَ نَظَرَهُ نَحْوَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، وَأَنَّ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «إِفَّثَا». أَيِ ٱنْفَتِحْ.

35 Immediately the man’s ears were opened and his tongue was released, and he began to speak plainly.

35 وَلِلْوَقْتِ ٱنْفَتَحَتْ أُذْنَاهُ، وَٱنْحَلَّ رِبَاطُ لِسَانِهِ، وَتَكَلَّمَ مُسْتَقِيمًا.

36 Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone. But the more He ordered them, the more widely they proclaimed it.

36 فَأَوْصَاهُمْ أَنْ لَا يَقُولُوا لِأَحَدٍ. وَلَكِنْ عَلَى قَدْرِ مَا أَوْصَاهُمْ كَانُوا يُنَادُونَ أَكْثَرَ كَثِيرًا.

37 The people were utterly astonished and said, “He has done all things well! He makes even the deaf hear and the mute speak!”

37 وَبُهِتُوا إِلَى ٱلْغَايَةِ قَائِلِينَ: «إِنَّهُ عَمِلَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ حَسَنًا! جَعَلَ ٱلصُّمَّ يَسْمَعُونَ وَٱلْخُرْسَ يَتَكَلَّمُونَ».
