Mark 8

1 In those days the crowd once again became very large, and they had nothing to eat. Jesus called the disciples to Him and said,

1 فِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ إِذْ كَانَ ٱلْجَمْعُ كَثِيرًا جِدًّا، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُمْ مَا يَأْكُلُونَ، دَعَا يَسُوعُ تَلَامِيذَهُ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ:

2 “I have compassion for this crowd, because they have already been with Me three days and have nothing to eat.

2 «إِنِّي أُشْفِقُ عَلَى ٱلْجَمْعِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْآنَ لَهُمْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ يَمْكُثُونَ مَعِي وَلَيْسَ لَهُمْ مَا يَأْكُلُونَ.

3 If I send them home hungry, they will faint along the way. For some of them have come a great distance.”

3 وَإِنْ صَرَفْتُهُمْ إِلَى بُيُوتِهِمْ صَائِمِينَ يُخَوِّرُونَ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ، لِأَنَّ قَوْمًا مِنْهُمْ جَاءُوا مِنْ بَعِيدٍ».

4 His disciples replied, “Where in this desolate place could anyone find enough bread to feed all these people?”

4 فَأَجَابَهُ تَلَامِيذُهُ: «مِنْ أَيْنَ يَسْتَطِيعُ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يُشْبِعَ هَؤُلَاءِ خُبْزًا هُنَا فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ؟».

5 “How many loaves do you have?” Jesus asked. “Seven,” they replied.

5 فَسَأَلَهُمْ: «كَمْ عِنْدَكُمْ مِنَ ٱلْخُبْزِ؟». فَقَالُوا: «سَبْعَةٌ».

6 And He instructed the crowd to sit down on the ground. Then He took the seven loaves, gave thanks and broke them, and gave them to His disciples to set before the people. And they distributed them to the crowd.

6 فَأَمَرَ ٱلْجَمْعَ أَنْ يَتَّكِئُوا عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَأَخَذَ ٱلسَّبْعَ خُبْزَاتٍ وَشَكَرَ وَكَسَرَ وَأَعْطَى تَلَامِيذَهُ لِيُقَدِّمُوا، فَقَدَّمُوا إِلَى ٱلْجَمْعِ.

7 They also had a few small fish, and Jesus blessed them and ordered that these be set before them as well.

7 وَكَانَ مَعَهُمْ قَلِيلٌ مِنْ صِغَارِ ٱلسَّمَكِ، فَبَارَكَ وَقَالَ أَنْ يُقَدِّمُوا هَذِهِ أَيْضًا.

8 The people ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up seven basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.

8 فَأَكَلُوا وَشَبِعُوا. ثُمَّ رَفَعُوا فَضَلَاتِ ٱلْكِسَرِ: سَبْعَةَ سِلَالٍ.

9 And about four thousand men were present. And when Jesus had dismissed the crowd,

9 وَكَانَ ٱلْآكِلُونَ نَحْوَ أَرْبَعَةِ آلَافٍ. ثُمَّ صَرَفَهُمْ.

10 He immediately got into the boat with His disciples and went to the district of Dalmanutha.

10 وَلِلْوَقْتِ دَخَلَ ٱلسَّفِينَةَ مَعَ تَلَامِيذِهِ وَجَاءَ إِلَى نَوَاحِي دَلْمَانُوثَةَ.

11 Then the Pharisees came and began to argue with Jesus, testing Him by demanding from Him a sign from heaven.

11 فَخَرَجَ ٱلْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ وَٱبْتَدَأُوا يُحَاوِرُونَهُ طَالِبِينَ مِنْهُ آيَةً مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، لِكَيْ يُجَرِّبُوهُ.

12 Jesus sighed deeply in His spirit and said, “Why does this generation demand a sign? Truly I tell you, no sign will be given to this generation.”

12 فَتَنَهَّدَ بِرُوحِهِ وَقَالَ: «لِمَاذَا يَطْلُبُ هَذَا ٱلْجِيلُ آيَةً؟ اَلْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: لَنْ يُعْطَى هَذَا ٱلْجِيلُ آيَةً!».

13 And He left them, got back into the boat, and crossed to the other side.

13 ثُمَّ تَرَكَهُمْ وَدَخَلَ أَيْضًا ٱلسَّفِينَةَ وَمَضَى إِلَى ٱلْعَبْرِ.

14 Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, except for one loaf they had with them in the boat.

14 وَنَسُوا أَنْ يَأْخُذُوا خُبْزًا، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ مَعَهُمْ فِي ٱلسَّفِينَةِ إِلَّا رَغِيفٌ وَاحِدٌ.

15 “Watch out!” He cautioned them. “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of Herod.”

15 وَأَوْصَاهُمْ قَائِلًا: «ٱنْظُرُوا! وَتَحَرَّزُوا مِنْ خَمِيرِ ٱلْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ وَخَمِيرِ هِيرُودُسَ».

16 So they began to discuss with one another the fact that they had no bread.

16 فَفَكَّرُوا قَائِلِينَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ: «لَيْسَ عِنْدَنَا خُبْزٌ».

17 Aware of their conversation, Jesus asked them, “Why are you debating about having no bread? Do you still not see or understand? Do you have such hard hearts?

17 فَعَلِمَ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «لِمَاذَا تُفَكِّرُونَ أَنْ لَيْسَ عِنْدَكُمْ خُبْزٌ؟ أَلَا تَشْعُرُونَ بَعْدُ وَلَا تَفْهَمُونَ؟ أَحَتَّى ٱلْآنَ قُلُوبُكُمْ غَلِيظَةٌ؟

18 ‘Having eyes, do you not see? And having ears, do you not hear?’ And do you not remember?

18 أَلَكُمْ أَعْيُنٌ وَلَا تُبْصِرُونَ، وَلَكُمْ آذَانٌ وَلَا تَسْمَعُونَ، وَلَا تَذْكُرُونَ؟

19 When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many basketfuls of broken pieces did you collect?” “Twelve,” they answered.

19 حِينَ كَسَّرْتُ ٱلْأَرْغِفَةَ ٱلْخَمْسَةَ لِلْخَمْسَةِ ٱلْآلَافِ، كَمْ قُفَّةً مَمْلُوَّةً كِسَرًا رَفَعْتُمْ؟». قَالُوا لَهُ: «ٱثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ».

20 “And when I broke the seven loaves for the four thousand, how many basketfuls of broken pieces did you collect?” “Seven,” they said.

20 «وَحِينَ ٱلسَّبْعَةِ لِلْأَرْبَعَةِ ٱلْآلَافِ، كَمْ سَلَّ كِسَرٍ مَمْلُوًّا رَفَعْتُمْ؟». قَالُوا: «سَبْعَةً».

21 Then He asked them, “Do you still not understand?”

21 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «كَيْفَ لَا تَفْهَمُونَ؟».

22 When they arrived at Bethsaida, some people brought a blind man and begged Jesus to touch him.

22 وَجَاءَ إِلَى بَيْتِ صَيْدَا، فَقَدَّمُوا إِلَيْهِ أَعْمَى وَطَلَبُوا إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يَلْمِسَهُ،

23 So He took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village. Then He spit on the man’s eyes and placed His hands on him. “Can you see anything?” He asked.

23 فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِ ٱلْأَعْمَى وَأَخْرَجَهُ إِلَى خَارِجِ ٱلْقَرْيَةِ، وَتَفَلَ فِي عَيْنَيْهِ، وَوَضَعَ يَدَيْهِ عَلَيْهِ وَسَأَلَهُ: هَلْ أَبْصَرَ شَيْئًا؟

24 The man looked up and said, “I can see the people, but they look like trees walking around.”

24 فَتَطَلَّعَ وَقَالَ: «أُبْصِرُ ٱلنَّاسَ كَأَشْجَارٍ يَمْشُونَ».

25 Once again Jesus placed His hands on the man’s eyes, and when he opened them his sight was restored, and he could see everything clearly.

25 ثُمَّ وَضَعَ يَدَيْهِ أَيْضًا عَلَى عَيْنَيْهِ، وَجَعَلَهُ يَتَطَلَّعُ. فَعَادَ صَحِيحًا وَأَبْصَرَ كُلَّ إِنْسَانٍ جَلِيًّا.

26 Jesus sent him home and said, “Do not go back into the village.”

26 فَأَرْسَلَهُ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ قَائِلًا: «لَا تَدْخُلِ ٱلْقَرْيَةَ، وَلَا تَقُلْ لِأَحَدٍ فِي ٱلْقَرْيَةِ».

27 Then Jesus and His disciples went on to the villages around Caesarea Philippi. On the way, He questioned His disciples: “Who do people say I am?”

27 ثُمَّ خَرَجَ يَسُوعُ وَتَلامِيذُهُ إِلَى قُرَى قَيْصَرِيَّةِ فِيلُبُّسَ. وَفِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ سَأَلَ تَلَامِيذَهُ قَائِلًا لَهُمْ: «مَنْ يَقُولُ ٱلنَّاسُ إِنِّي أَنَا؟».

28 They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, one of the prophets.”

28 فَأَجَابُوا: «يُوحَنَّا ٱلْمَعْمَدَانُ. وَآخَرُونَ: إِيلِيَّا. وَآخَرُونَ: وَاحِدٌ مِنَ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ».

29 “But what about you?” Jesus asked. “Who do you say I am?” Peter answered, “You are the Christ.”

29 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «وَأَنْتُمْ، مَنْ تَقُولُونَ إِنِّي أَنَا؟». فَأَجَابَ بُطْرُسُ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «أَنْتَ ٱلْمَسِيحُ!».

30 And Jesus warned them not to tell anyone about Him.

30 فَٱنْتَهَرَهُمْ كَيْ لَا يَقُولُوا لِأَحَدٍ عَنْهُ.

31 Then He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and that He must be killed and after three days rise again.

31 وَٱبْتَدَأَ يُعَلِّمُهُمْ أَنَّ ٱبْنَ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يَتَأَلَّمَ كَثِيرًا، وَيُرْفَضَ مِنَ ٱلشُّيُوخِ وَرُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَٱلْكَتَبَةِ، وَيُقْتَلَ، وَبَعْدَ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ يَقُومُ.

32 He spoke this message quite frankly, and Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him.

32 وَقَالَ ٱلْقَوْلَ عَلَانِيَةً. فَأَخَذَهُ بُطْرُسُ إِلَيْهِ وَٱبْتَدَأَ يَنْتَهِرُهُ.

33 But Jesus, turning and looking at His disciples, rebuked Peter and said, “Get behind Me, Satan! For you do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men.”

33 فَٱلْتَفَتَ وَأَبْصَرَ تَلَامِيذَهُ، فَٱنْتَهَرَ بُطْرُسَ قَائِلًا: «ٱذْهَبْ عَنِّي يَا شَيْطَانُ! لِأَنَّكَ لَا تَهْتَمُّ بِمَا لِلهِ لَكِنْ بِمَا لِلنَّاسِ».

34 Then Jesus called the crowd to Him along with His disciples, and He told them, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me.

34 وَدَعَا ٱلْجَمْعَ مَعَ تَلَامِيذِهِ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «مَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ وَرَائِي فَلْيُنْكِرْ نَفْسَهُ وَيَحْمِلْ صَلِيبَهُ وَيَتْبَعْنِي.

35 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and for the gospel will save it.

35 فَإِنَّ مَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُخَلِّصَ نَفْسَهُ يُهْلِكُهَا، وَمَنْ يُهْلِكُ نَفْسَهُ مِنْ أَجْلِي وَمِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلْإِنْجِيلِ فَهُوَ يُخَلِّصُهَا.

36 What does it profit a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?

36 لِأَنَّهُ مَاذَا يَنْتَفِعُ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ لَوْ رَبِحَ ٱلْعَالَمَ كُلَّهُ وَخَسِرَ نَفْسَهُ؟

37 Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?

37 أَوْ مَاذَا يُعْطِي ٱلْإِنْسَانُ فِدَاءً عَنْ نَفْسِهِ؟

38 If anyone is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when He comes in His Father’s glory with the holy angels.”

38 لِأَنَّ مَنِ ٱسْتَحَى بِي وَبِكَلَامِي فِي هَذَا ٱلْجِيلِ ٱلْفَاسِقِ ٱلْخَاطِئِ، فَإِنَّ ٱبْنَ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ يَسْتَحِي بِهِ مَتَى جَاءَ بِمَجْدِ أَبِيهِ مَعَ ٱلْمَلَائِكَةِ ٱلْقِدِّيسِينَ».
