Mark 9

1 Then Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God arrive with power.”

1 وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ بَعْضاً مِنَ الْوَاقِفِينَ هُنَا، لَنْ يَذُوقُوا الْمَوْتَ إِلّا بَعْدَ أَنْ يَرَوْا مَلَكُوتَ اللهِ وَقَدْ أَتَى بِقُدْرَةٍ.»

2 After six days Jesus took with Him Peter, James, and John, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. There He was transfigured before them.

2 وَبَعْدَ سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ، أَخَذَ يَسُوعُ بُطْرُسَ وَيَعْقُوبَ وَيُوحَنَّا وَحْدَهُمْ، وَصَعِدَ بِهِمْ عَلَى انْفِرَادٍ إِلَى جَبَلٍ عَالٍ، حَيْثُ تَجَلَّى أَمَامَهُمْ،

3 His clothes became radiantly white, brighter than any launderer on earth could bleach them.

3 وَصَارَتْ ثِيَابُهُ لَمَّاعَةً تَفُوقُ الثَّلْجَ بَيَاضاً، يَعْجِزُ أَيُّ مُبَيِّضٍ عَلَى الأَرْضِ أَنْ يُبَيِّضَ مَا يُمَاثِلُهَا.

4 And Elijah and Moses appeared before them, talking with Jesus.

4 وَظَهَرَ لَهُمْ إِيلِيَّا وَمُوسَى يَتَحَدَّثَانِ مَعَ يَسُوعَ.

5 Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”

5 فَبَدَأَ بُطْرُسُ يَقُولُ لِيَسُوعَ: «يَا سَيِّدُ، مَا أَحْسَنَ أَنْ نَبْقَى هُنَا. فَلْنَنْصُبْ ثَلاثَ خِيَامٍ: وَاحِدَةً لَكَ، وَوَاحِدَةً لِمُوسَى، وَوَاحِدَةً لإِيلِيَّا!»

6 For they were all so terrified that Peter did not know what else to say.

6 فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَدْرِي مَا يَقُولُ، إِذْ كَانَ الْخَوْفُ قَدِ اسْتَوْلَى عَلَيْهِمْ.

7 Then a cloud appeared and enveloped them, and a voice came from the cloud: “This is My beloved Son. Listen to Him!”

7 وَجَاءَتْ سَحَابَةٌ فَخَيَّمَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ، وَانْطَلَقَ صَوْتٌ مِنَ السَّحَابَةِ يَقُولُ: «هَذَا هُوَ ابْنِي الْحَبِيبُ. لَهُ اسْمَعُوا!»

8 Suddenly, when they looked around, they saw no one with them except Jesus.

8 وَفَجْأَةً نَظَرُوا حَوْلَهُمْ فَلَمْ يَرَوْا أَحَداً مَعَهُمْ إِلّا يَسُوعَ وَحْدَهُ.

9 As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus admonished them not to tell anyone what they had seen until the Son of Man had risen from the dead.

9 وَفِيمَا هُمْ نَازِلُونَ مِنَ الْجَبَلِ، أَوْصَاهُمْ أَلّا يُخْبِرُوا أَحَداً بِمَا رَأَوْا، إِلّا بَعْدَ أَنْ يَكُونَ ابْنُ الإِنْسَانِ قَدْ قَامَ مِنْ بَيْنِ الأَمْوَاتِ.

10 So they kept this matter to themselves, discussing what it meant to rise from the dead.

10 فَعَمِلُوا بِهذِهِ الْوَصِيَّةِ، مُتَسَائِلِينَ فِيمَا بَيْنَهُمْ «مَاذَا يَعْنِي بِالْقِيَامَةِ مِنْ بَيْنِ الأَمْوَاتِ؟»

11 And they asked Jesus, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”

11 وَسَأَلُوهُ: «لِمَاذَا يَقُولُ الْكَتَبَةُ إِنَّ إِيلِيَّا لابُدَّ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ أَوَّلاً؟»

12 He replied, “Elijah does indeed come first, and he restores all things. Why then is it written that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected?

12 فَأَجَابَهُمْ: «حَقّاً، إِنَّ إِيلِيَّا يَأْتِي أَوَّلاً وَيُصْلِحُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ. كَذلِكَ جَاءَ فِي الْكِتَابِ أَنَّ ابْنَ الإِنْسَانِ لابُدَّ أَنْ يَتَأَلَّمَ كَثِيراً وَيُهَانَ.

13 But I tell you that Elijah has indeed come, and they have done to him whatever they wished, just as it is written about him.”

13 عَلَى أَنِّي أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ إِيلِيَّا قَدْ أَتَى فِعْلاً، وَقَدْ عَمِلُوا بِهِ أَيْضاً كُلَّ مَا شَاءُوا، كَمَا جَاءَ عَنْهُ فِي الْكِتَابِ!»

14 When they returned to the other disciples, they saw a large crowd around them, and scribes arguing with them.

14 وَلَمَّا وَصَلُوا إِلَى بَاقِي التَّلامِيذِ، رَأَوْا جَمْعاً عَظِيماً حَوْلَهُمْ وَبَعْضَ الْكَتَبَةِ يُجَادِلُونَهُمْ.

15 As soon as all the people saw Jesus, they were filled with awe and ran to greet Him.

15 وَعِنْدَمَا رَآهُ الْجَمْعُ، ذُهِلُوا كُلُّهُمْ وَأَسْرَعُوا إِلَيْهِ يُسَلِّمُونَ عَلَيْهِ.

16 “What are you disputing with them?” He asked.

16 فَسَأَلَهُمْ: «فِيمَ تُجَادِلُونَهُمْ؟»

17 Someone in the crowd replied, “Teacher, I brought You my son, who has a spirit that makes him mute.

17 فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِ وَاحِدٌ مِنَ الْجَمْعِ قَائِلاً: «يَا مُعَلِّمُ، أَحْضَرْتُ إِلَيْكَ ابْنِي وَبِهِ رُوحٌ أَخْرَسُ،

18 Whenever it seizes him, it throws him to the ground. He foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth, and becomes rigid. I asked Your disciples to drive it out, but they were unable.”

18 كُلَّمَا تَمَلَّكَهُ يَصْرَعُهُ، فَيُزْبِدُ وَيَصِرُّ بِأَسْنَانِهِ وَيَتَيَبَّسُ. وَقَدْ طَلَبْتُ مِنْ تَلامِيذِكَ أَنْ يَطْرُدُوهُ، فَلَمْ يَقْدِرُوا».

19 “O unbelieving generation!” Jesus replied. “How long must I remain with you? How long must I put up with you? Bring the boy to Me.”

19 فَأَجَابَهُمْ قَائِلاً: «أَيُّهَا الْجِيلُ غَيْرُ الْمُؤْمِنِ! إِلَى مَتَى أَبْقَى مَعَكُمْ؟ إِلَى مَتَى أَحْتَمِلُكُمْ؟ أَحْضِرُوهُ إِلَيَّ!»

20 So they brought him, and seeing Jesus, the spirit immediately threw the boy into a convulsion. He fell to the ground and rolled around, foaming at the mouth.

20 فَأَحْضَرُوهُ إِلَى يَسُوعَ. فَمَا إِنْ رَآهُ الرُّوحُ، حَتَّى صَرَعَ الصَّبِيَّ، فَوَقَعَ عَلَى الأَرْضِ يَتَمَرَّغُ مُزْبِداً.

21 Jesus asked the boy’s father, “How long has this been with him?” “From childhood,” he said.

21 وَسَأَلَ أَبَاهُ: «مُنْذُ مَتَى يُصِيبُهُ هَذَا؟» فَأَجَابَ: «مُنْذُ طُفُولَتِهِ.

22 “It often throws him into the fire or into the water, trying to kill him. But if You can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.”

22 وَكَثِيراً مَا أَلْقَاهُ فِي النَّارِ وَفِي الْمَاءِ لِيُهْلِكَهُ. وَلكِنْ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَقْدِرُ عَلَى شَيْءٍ، فَأَشْفِقْ عَلَيْنَا وَأَعِنَّا!»

23 “If You can?” echoed Jesus. “All things are possible to him who believes!”

23 فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «بَلْ إِنْ كُنْتَ أَنْتَ تَقْدِرُ أَنْ تُؤْمِنَ، فَكُلُّ شَيْءٍ مُسْتَطَاعٌ لَدَى الْمُؤْمِنِ!»

24 Immediately the boy’s father cried out, “I do believe; help my unbelief!”

24 فَصَرَخَ أَبُو الصَّبِيِّ فِي الْحَالِ: «أَنَا أُومِنُ، فَأَعِنْ عَدَمَ إِيمَانِي».

25 When Jesus saw that a crowd had come running, He rebuked the unclean spirit. “You deaf and mute spirit,” He said, “I command you to come out and never enter him again.”

25 فَلَمَّا رَأَى يَسُوعُ الْجَمْعَ يَرْكُضُونَ مَعاً، زَجَرَ الرُّوحَ النَّجِسَ قَائِلاً لَهُ: «أَيُّهَا الرُّوحُ الأَخْرَسُ الأَصَمُّ، إِنِّي آمُرُكَ، فَاخْرُجْ مِنْهُ وَلا تَعُدْ تَدْخُلُهُ بَعْدُ!»

26 After shrieking and convulsing him violently, the spirit came out. The boy became like a corpse, so that many said, “He is dead.”

26 فَصَرَخَ الرُّوحُ وَصَرَعَ الصَّبِيَّ بِشِدَّةٍ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَ. وَصَارَ الصَّبِيُّ كَأَنَّهُ مَيْتٌ، حَتَّى قَالَ أَكْثَرُ الْجَمْعِ: «إِنَّهُ مَاتَ!»

27 But Jesus took him by the hand and helped him to his feet, and he stood up.

27 وَلكِنْ لَمَّا أَمْسَكَهُ يَسُوعُ بِيَدِهِ وَأَنْهَضَهُ، نَهَضَ.

28 After Jesus had gone into the house, His disciples asked Him privately, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?”

28 وَبَعْدَمَا دَخَلَ يَسُوعُ الْبَيْتَ، سَأَلَهُ تَلامِيذُهُ عَلَى انْفِرَادٍ: «لِمَاذَا لَمْ نَقْدِرْ نَحْنُ أَنْ نَطْرُدَ الرُّوحَ؟»

29 Jesus answered, “This kind cannot come out, except by prayer.”

29 فَأَجَابَ: «هَذَا النَّوْعُ لَا يُطْرَدُ بِشَيْءٍ إِلّا بِالصَّلاةِ وَالصَّوْمِ!»

30 Going on from there, they passed through Galilee. But Jesus did not want anyone to know,

30 ثُمَّ انْصَرَفُوا مِنْ هُنَاكَ وَاجْتَازُوا مِنْطَقَةَ الْجَلِيلِ، وَلَمْ يُرِدْ أَنْ يَعْلَمَ بِهِ أَحَدٌ،

31 because He was teaching His disciples. He told them, “The Son of Man will be delivered into the hands of men. They will kill Him, and after three days He will rise.”

31 لأَنَّهُ كَانَ يُعَلِّمُ تَلامِيذَهُ فَيَقُولُ لَهُمْ: «إِنَّ ابْنَ الإِنْسَانِ سَيُسَلَّمُ إِلَى أَيْدِي النَّاسِ، فَيَقْتُلُونَهُ، وَبَعْدَ قَتْلِهِ يَقُومُ فِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ».

32 But they did not understand this statement, and they were afraid to ask Him about it.

32 وَلكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَفْهَمُوا هَذَا الْقَوْلَ، وَخَافُوا أَنْ يَسْأَلُوهُ.

33 Then they came to Capernaum. While Jesus was in the house, He asked them, “What were you discussing on the way?”

33 ثُمَّ جَاءَ إِلَى كَفْرَنَاحُومَ. وَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ فِي الْبَيْتِ، سَأَلَ تَلامِيذَهُ: «فِيمَ كُنْتُمْ تَتَجَادَلُونَ فِي الطَّرِيقِ؟».

34 But they were silent, for on the way they had been arguing about which of them was the greatest.

34 فَسَكَتُوا، إِذْ كَانُوا فِي الطَّرِيقِ قَدْ تَجَادَلُوا فِي مَنْ هُوَ الأَعْظَمُ بَيْنَهُمْ.

35 Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, “If anyone wants to be first, he must be the last of all and the servant of all.”

35 فَجَلَسَ، وَدَعَا الاِثْنَيْ عَشَرَ تِلْمِيذاً، وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «إِنْ أَرَادَ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يَكُونَ الأَوَّلَ، فَلْيَجْعَلْ نَفْسَهُ آخِرَ الْجَمِيعِ وَخَادِماً لِلْجَمِيعِ!»

36 Then He had a little child stand among them. Taking the child in His arms, He said to them,

36 ثُمَّ أَخَذَ وَلَداً صَغِيراً وَأَوْقَفَهُ فِي وَسَطِهِمْ، وَضَمَّهُ بِذِرَاعَيْهِ، وَقَالَ لَهُمْ:

37 “Whoever welcomes one of these little children in My name welcomes Me, and whoever welcomes Me welcomes not only Me, but the One who sent Me.”

37 «أَيُّ مَنْ قَبِلَ بِاسْمِي وَاحِداً مِثْلَ هَذَا مِنَ الأَوْلادِ الصِّغَارِ، فَقَدْ قَبِلَنِي. وَمَنْ قَبِلَنِي، فَلا يَقْبَلُنِي أَنَا، بَلْ ذَاكَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي».

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

38 فَتَكَلَّمَ يُوحَنَّا قَائِلاً: «يَا مُعَلِّمُ، رَأَيْنَا وَاحِداً يَطْرُدُ شَيَاطِينَ بِاسْمِكَ، وَهُوَ لَا يَتْبَعُنَا، فَمَنَعْنَاهُ لأَنَّهُ لَا يَتْبَعُنَا!»

39 “Do not stop him,” Jesus replied. “For no one who performs a miracle in My name can turn around and speak evil of Me.

39 فَقَالَ يَسُوعُ: «لا تَمْنَعُوهُ! فَمَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ يَعْمَلُ مُعْجِزَةً بِاسْمِي وَيُمْكِنُهُ أَنْ يَتَكَلَّمَ عَلَيَّ بِالسُّوءِ سَرِيعاً بَعْدَ ذلِكَ.

40 For whoever is not against us is for us.

40 فَإِنَّ مَنْ لَيْسَ ضِدَّنَا فَهُوَ مَعَنَا.

41 Indeed, if anyone gives you even a cup of water because you bear the name of Christ, truly I tell you, he will never lose his reward.

41 فَإِنَّ مَنْ سَقَاكُمْ كَأْسَ مَاءٍ بِاسْمِي لأَنَّكُمْ خَاصَّةُ الْمَسِيحِ، فَالْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ إِنَّ مُكَافَأَتَهُ لَنْ تَضِيعَ!

42 But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be thrown into the sea.

42 وَمَنْ كَانَ عَثْرَةً لأَحَدِ الصِّغَارِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ بِي، فَأَفْضَلُ لَهُ لَوْ عُلِّقَ فِي عُنُقِهِ حَجَرُ الرَّحَى وَطُرِحَ فِي الْبَحْرِ.

43 If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than to have two hands and go into hell, into the unquenchable fire.

43 فَإِنْ كَانَتْ يَدُكَ فَخّاً لَكَ، فَاقْطَعْهَا: أَفْضَلُ لَكَ أَنْ تَدْخُلَ الْحَيَاةَ وَيَدُكَ مَقْطُوعَةٌ مِنْ أَنْ تَكُونَ لَكَ يَدَانِ وَتَذْهَبَ إِلَى جَهَنَّمَ، إِلَى النَّارِ الَّتِي لَا تُطْفَأُ

44

44 حَيْثُ دُودُهُمْ لَا يَمُوتُ، وَالنَّارُ لَا تُطْفَأُ

45 If your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame than to have two feet and be thrown into hell.

45 وَإِنْ كَانَتْ رِجْلُكَ فَخّاً لَكَ، فَاقْطَعْهَا: أَفْضَلُ لَكَ أَنْ تَدْخُلَ الْحَيَاةَ وَرِجْلُكَ مَقْطُوعَةٌ مِنْ أَنْ تَكُونَ لَكَ رِجْلانِ وَتُطْرَحَ فِي جَهَنَّمَ، فِي النَّارِ الَّتِي لَا تُطْفَأُ.

46

46 حَيْثُ دُودُهُمْ لَا يَمُوتُ، وَالنَّارُ لَا تُطْفَأُ.

47 And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell,

47 وَإِنْ كَانَتْ عَيْنُكَ فَخّاً لَكَ، فَاقْلَعْهَا: أَفْضَلُ لَكَ أَنْ تَدْخُلَ مَلَكُوتَ اللهِ وَعَيْنُكَ مَقْلُوعَةٌ مِنْ أَنْ تَكُونَ لَكَ عَيْنَانِ وَتُطْرَحَ فِي جَهَنَّمِ النَّارِ.

48 where ‘their worm never dies, and the fire is never quenched.’

48 حَيْثُ دُودُهُمْ لَا يَمُوتُ، وَالنَّارُ لَا تُطْفَأُ.

49 For everyone will be salted with fire.

49 فَإِنَّ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ سَوْفَ تُمَلِّحُهُ النَّارُ.

50 Salt is good, but if the salt loses its saltiness, with what will you season it? Have salt among yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”

50 الْمِلْحُ جَيِّدٌ، وَلكِنْ إِذَا فَقَدَ الْمِلْحُ مُلُوحَتَهُ، فَبِمَاذَا تُعِيدُونَ إِلَيْهِ طَعْمَهُ؟ فَلْيَكُنْ لَكُمْ مِلْحٌ فِي أَنْفُسِكُمْ، وَكُونُوا مُسَالِمِينَ بَعْضُكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ!»
