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 لَهُمُ: «ٱلْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ مِنَ ٱلْقِيَامِ هَهُنَا قَوْمًا لَا يَذُوقُونَ ٱلْمَوْتَ حَتَّى يَرَوْا مَلَكُوتَ ٱللهِ قَدْ أَتَى بِقُوَّةٍ».

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، وَصَعِدَ بِهِمْ إِلَى جَبَلٍ عَالٍ مُنْفَرِدِينَ وَحْدَهُمْ. وَتَغَيَّرَتْ هَيْئَتُهُ قُدَّامَهُمْ،

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

3 وَصَارَتْ ثِيَابُهُ تَلْمَعُ بَيْضَاءَ جِدًّا كَٱلثَّلْجِ، لَا يَقْدِرُ قَصَّارٌ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ أَنْ يُبَيِّضَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ.

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

4 وَظَهَرَ لَهُمْ إِيلِيَّا مَعَ مُوسَى، وَكَانَا يَتَكَلَّمَانِ 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 فَجَعَلَ بُطْرُسُ يَقولُ لِيَسُوعَ: «يَا سَيِّدِي، جَيِّدٌ أَنْ نَكُونَ هَهُنَا. فَلْنَصْنَعْ ثَلَاثَ مَظَالَّ: لَكَ وَاحِدَةً، وَلِمُوسَى وَاحِدَةً، وَلِإِيلِيَّا وَاحِدَةً».

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

6 لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَعْلَمُ مَا يَتَكَلَّمُ بِهِ إِذْ كَانُوا مُرْتَعِبِينَ.

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

7 وَكَانَتْ سَحَابَةٌ تُظَلِّلُهُمْ. فَجَاءَ صَوْتٌ مِنَ ٱلسَّحَابَةِ قَائِلًا: «هَذَا هُوَ ٱبْنِي ٱلْحَبِيبُ. لَهُ ٱسْمَعُوا».

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

8 فَنَظَرُوا حَوْلَهُمْ بَغْتَةً وَلَمْ يَرَوْا أَحَدًا غَيْرَ يَسُوعَ وَحْدَهُ مَعَهُمْ.

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 ٱلْجَبَلِ، أَوْصَاهُمْ أَنْ لَا يُحَدِّثُوا أَحَدًا بِمَا أَبْصَرُوا، إِلَّا مَتَى قَامَ ٱبْنُ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ مِنَ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ.

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

10 فَحَفِظُوا ٱلْكَلِمَةَ لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ يَتَسَاءَلُونَ: «مَا هُوَ ٱلْقِيَامُ مِنَ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ؟».

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

11 فَسَأَلُوهُ قَائِليِنَ: «لِمَاذَا يَقُولُ ٱلْكَتَبَةُ: إِنَّ إِيلِيَّا يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يَأْتِيَ أَوَّلًا؟».

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 فَأَجَابَ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «إِنَّ إِيلِيَّا يَأْتِي أَوَّلًا وَيَرُدُّ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ. وَكَيْفَ هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ عَنِ ٱبْنِ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ أَنْ يَتَأَلَّمَ كَثِيرًا وَيُرْذَلَ.

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 لَكِنْ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ إِيلِيَّا أَيْضًا قَدْ أَتَى، وَعَمِلُوا بِهِ كُلَّ مَا أَرَادُوا، كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ عَنْهُ».

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

14 وَلَمَّا جَاءَ إِلَى ٱلتَّلَامِيذِ رَأَى جَمْعًا كَثِيرًا حَوْلَهُمْ وَكَتَبَةً يُحَاوِرُونَهُمْ.

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

15 وَلِلْوَقْتِ كُلُّ ٱلْجَمْعِ لَمَّا رَأَوْهُ تَحَيَّرُوا، وَرَكَضُوا وَسَلَّمُوا عَلَيْهِ.

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

16 فَسَأَلَ ٱلْكَتَبَةَ: «بِمَاذَا تُحَاوِرُونَهُمْ؟»

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

17 فَأَجَابَ وَاحِدٌ مِنَ ٱلْجَمْعِ وَقَالَ: «يَا مُعَلِّمُ، قَدْ قَدَّمْتُ إِلَيْكَ ٱبْنِي بِهِ 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 وَحَيْثُمَا أَدْرَكَهُ يُمَزِّقْهُ فَيُزْبِدُ وَيَصِرُّ بِأَسْنَانِهِ وَيَيْبَسُ. فَقُلْتُ لِتَلَامِيذِكَ أَنْ يُخْرِجُوهُ 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 فَأَجَابَ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَيُّهَا ٱلْجِيلُ غَيْرُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِ، إِلَى مَتَى أَكُونُ مَعَكُمْ؟ إِلَى مَتَى أَحْتَمِلُكُمْ؟ قَدِّمُوهُ 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 فَقَدَّمُوهُ إِلَيْهِ. فَلَمَّا رَآهُ لِلْوَقْتِ صَرَعَهُ ٱلرُّوحُ، فَوَقَعَ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ يَتَمَرَّغُ وَيُزْبِدُ.

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

21 فَسَأَلَ أَبَاهُ: «كَمْ مِنَ ٱلزَّمَانِ مُنْذُ أَصَابَهُ هَذَا؟». فَقَالَ: «مُنْذُ صِبَاهُ.

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 وَكَثِيرًا مَا أَلْقَاهُ فِي ٱلنَّارِ وَفِي ٱلْمَاءِ لِيُهْلِكَهُ. لَكِنْ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَسْتَطِيعُ شَيْئًا فَتَحَنَّنْ عَلَيْنَا وَأَعِنَّا».

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

23 فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «إِنْ كُنْتَ تَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تُؤْمِنَ. كُلُّ شَيْءٍ مُسْتَطَاعٌ لِلْمُؤْمِنِ».

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

24 فَلِلْوَقْتِ صَرَخَ أَبُو ٱلْوَلَدِ بِدُمُوعٍ وَقَالَ: «أُومِنُ يَا سَيِّدُ، 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 أَنَّ ٱلْجَمْعَ يَتَرَاكَضُونَ، ٱنْتَهَرَ ٱلرُّوحَ ٱلنَّجِسَ قَائِلًا لَهُ: «أَيُّهَا ٱلرُّوحُ ٱلْأَخْرَسُ ٱلْأَصَمُّ، أَنَا آمُرُكَ: ٱخْرُجْ مِنْهُ وَلَا تَدْخُلْهُ أَيْضًا!».

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 وَصَرَعَهُ شَدِيدًا وَخَرَجَ. فَصَارَ كَمَيْتٍ، حَتَّى قَالَ كَثِيرُونَ: «إِنَّهُ مَاتَ!».

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

27 فَأَمْسَكَهُ يَسُوعُ بِيَدِهِ وَأَقَامَهُ، فَقَامَ.

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

28 وَلَمَّا دَخَلَ بَيْتًا سَأَلَهُ تَلَامِيذُهُ عَلَى ٱنْفِرَادٍ: «لِمَاذَا لَمْ نَقْدِرْ نَحْنُ أَنْ نُخْرِجَهُ؟».

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

29 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «هَذَا ٱلْجِنْسُ لَا يُمْكِنُ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ بِشَيْءٍ إِلَّا بِٱلصَّلَاةِ وَٱلصَّوْمِ».

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

30 وَخَرَجُوا مِنْ هُنَاكَ وَٱجْتَازُوا ٱلْجَلِيلَ، وَلَمْ يُرِدْ أَنْ يَعْلَمَ 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 لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ يُعَلِّمُ تَلَامِيذَهُ وَيَقُولُ لَهُمْ: «إِنَّ ٱبْنَ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ يُسَلَّمُ إِلَى أَيْدِي ٱلنَّاسِ فَيَقْتُلُونَهُ. وَبَعْدَ أَنْ يُقْتَلَ يَقُومُ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّالِثِ».

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

32 وَأَمَّا هُمْ فَلَمْ يَفْهَمُوا ٱلْقَوْلَ، 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 وَجَاءَ إِلَى كَفْرِنَاحُومَ. وَإِذْ كَانَ فِي ٱلْبَيْتِ سَأَلَهُمْ: «بِمَاذَا كُنْتُمْ تَتَكَالَمُونَ فِيمَا بَيْنَكُمْ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ؟».

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

34 فَسَكَتُوا، لِأَنَّهُمْ تَحَاجُّوا فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ بَعْضُهُمْ مَعَ بَعْضٍ فِي مَنْ هُوَ أَعْظَمُ.

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 وَنَادَى ٱلِٱثْنَيْ عَشَرَ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «إِذَا أَرَادَ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يَكُونَ أَوَّلًا فَيَكُونُ آخِرَ ٱلْكُلِّ وَخَادِمًا لِلْكُلِّ».

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

36 فَأَخَذَ وَلَدًا وَأَقَامَهُ فِي وَسْطِهِمْ ثُمَّ ٱحْتَضَنَهُ 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 «مَنْ قَبِلَ وَاحِدًا مِنْ أَوْلَادٍ مِثْلَ هَذَا بِٱسْمِي يَقْبَلُنِي، وَمَنْ قَبِلَنِي فَلَيْسَ يَقْبَلُنِي أَنَا بَلِ ٱلَّذِي 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 فَأَجَابَهُ يُوحَنَّا قَائِلًا: «يَا مُعَلِّمُ، رَأَيْنَا وَاحِدًا يُخْرِجُ شَيَاطِينَ بِٱسْمِكَ وَهُوَ لَيْسَ يَتْبَعُنَا، فَمَنَعْنَاهُ لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ 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: «لَا تَمْنَعُوهُ، لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ يَصْنَعُ قُوَّةً بِٱسْمِي وَيَسْتَطِيعُ سَرِيعًا أَنْ يَقُولَ عَلَيَّ شَرًّا.

40 For whoever is not against us is for us.

40 لِأَنَّ مَنْ لَيْسَ عَلَيْنَا 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 لِأَنَّ مَنْ سَقَاكُمْ كَأْسَ مَاءٍ بِٱسْمِي لِأَنَّكُمْ لِلْمَسِيحِ، فَٱلْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّهُ لَا يُضِيعُ أَجْرَهُ.

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 أَعْثَرَ أَحَدَ ٱلصِّغَارِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ بِي، فَخَيْرٌ لَهُ لَوْ طُوِّقَ عُنُقُهُ بِحَجَرِ رَحًى وَطُرِحَ فِي ٱلْبَحْرِ.

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 وَإِنْ أَعْثَرَتْكَ يَدُكَ فَٱقْطَعْهَا. خَيْرٌ لَكَ أَنْ تَدْخُلَ ٱلْحَيَاةَ أَقْطَعَ مِنْ أَنْ تَكُونَ لَكَ يَدَانِ وَتَمْضِيَ إِلَى جَهَنَّمَ، إِلَى ٱلنَّارِ ٱلَّتِي لَا تُطْفَأُ.

44

44 حَيْثُ دُودُهُمْ لَا يَمُوتُ وَٱلنَّارُ 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 أَعْثَرَتْكَ رِجْلُكَ فَٱقْطَعْهَا. خَيْرٌ لَكَ أَنْ تَدْخُلَ ٱلْحَيَاةَ أَعْرَجَ مِنْ أَنْ تَكُونَ لَكَ رِجْلَانِ وَتُطْرَحَ فِي جَهَنَّمَ فِي ٱلنَّارِ ٱلَّتِي لَا تُطْفَأُ.

46

46 حَيْثُ دُودُهُمْ لَا يَمُوتُ وَٱلنَّارُ 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 أَعْثَرَتْكَ عَيْنُكَ فَٱقْلَعْهَا. خَيْرٌ لَكَ أَنْ تَدْخُلَ مَلَكُوتَ ٱللهِ أَعْوَرَ مِنْ أَنْ تَكُونَ لَكَ عَيْنَانِ وَتُطْرَحَ فِي جَهَنَّمِ ٱلنَّارِ.

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

48 حَيْثُ دُودُهُمْ لَا يَمُوتُ وَٱلنَّارُ لَا تُطْفَأُ.

49 For everyone will be salted with fire.

49 لِأَنَّ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ يُمَلَّحُ بِنَارٍ، وَكُلَّ ذَبِيحَةٍ تُمَلَّحُ بِمِلْحٍ.

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 اَلْمِلْحُ جَيِّدٌ. وَلَكِنْ إِذَا صَارَ ٱلْمِلْحُ بِلَا مُلُوحَةٍ، فَبِمَاذَا تُصْلِحُونَهُ؟ لِيَكُنْ لَكُمْ فِي أَنْفُسِكُمْ مِلْحٌ، وَسَالِمُوا بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضًا».
