Matthew 16

1 Then the Pharisees and Sadducees came and tested Jesus by asking Him to show them a sign from heaven.

1 وَجَاءَ إِلَيْهِ ٱلْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ وَٱلصَّدُّوقِيُّونَ لِيُجَرِّبُوهُ، فَسَأَلُوهُ أَنْ يُرِيَهُمْ آيَةً مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ.

2 But He replied, “When evening comes, you say, ‘The weather will be fair, for the sky is red,’

2 فَأَجَابَ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «إِذَا كَانَ ٱلْمَسَاءُ قُلْتُمْ: صَحْوٌ لِأَنَّ ٱلسَّمَاءَ مُحْمَرَّةٌ.

3 and in the morning, ‘Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but not the signs of the times.

3 وَفِي ٱلصَّبَاحِ: ٱلْيَوْمَ شِتَاءٌ لِأَنَّ ٱلسَّمَاءَ مُحْمَرَّةٌ بِعُبُوسَةٍ.يَا مُرَاؤُونَ! تَعْرِفُونَ أَنْ تُمَيِّزُوا وَجْهَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، وَأَمَّا عَلَامَاتُ ٱلْأَزْمِنَةِ فَلَا تَسْتَطِيعُونَ!

4 A wicked and adulterous generation demands a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.” Then He left them and went away.

4 جِيلٌ شِرِّيرٌ فَاسِقٌ يَلْتَمِسُ آيَةً، وَلَا تُعْطَى لَهُ آيَةٌ إِلَّا آيَةَ يُونَانَ ٱلنَّبِيِّ». ثُمَّ تَرَكَهُمْ وَمَضَى.

5 When they crossed to the other side, the disciples forgot to take bread.

5 وَلَمَّا جَاءَ تَلَامِيذُهُ إِلَى ٱلْعَبْرِ نَسُوا أَنْ يَأْخُذُوا خُبْزًا.

6 “Watch out!” Jesus told them. “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”

6 وَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «ٱنْظُرُوا، وَتَحَرَّزُوا مِنْ خَمِيرِ ٱلْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ وَٱلصَّدُّوقِيِّينَ».

7 They discussed this among themselves and concluded, “It is because we did not bring any bread.”

7 فَفَكَّرُوا فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ قَائِلِينَ: «إِنَّنَا لَمْ نَأْخُذْ خُبْزًا».

8 Aware of their conversation, Jesus said, “You of little faith, why are you debating among yourselves about having no bread?

8 فَعَلِمَ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «لِمَاذَا تُفَكِّرُونَ فِي أَنْفُسِكُمْ يا قَلِيلِي ٱلْإِيمَانِ أَنَّكُمْ لَمْ تَأْخُذُوا خُبْزًا؟

9 Do you still not understand? Do you not remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many basketfuls you gathered?

9 أَحَتَّى ٱلْآنَ لَا تَفْهَمُونَ؟ وَلَا تَذْكُرُونَ خَمْسَ خُبْزَاتِ ٱلْخَمْسَةِ ٱلْآلَافِ وَكَمْ قُفَّةً أَخَذْتُمْ؟

10 Or the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many basketfuls you gathered?

10 وَلَا سَبْعَ خُبْزَاتِ ٱلْأَرْبَعَةِ ٱلْآلَافِ وَكَمْ سَلًّا أَخَذْتُمْ؟

11 How do you not understand that I was not telling you about bread? But beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”

11 كَيْفَ لَا تَفْهَمُونَ أَنِّي لَيْسَ عَنِ ٱلْخُبْزِ قُلْتُ لَكُمْ أَنْ تَتَحَرَّزُوا مِنْ خَمِيرِ ٱلْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ وَٱلصَّدُّوقِيِّينَ؟».

12 Then they understood that He was not telling them to beware of the leaven used in bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

12 حِينَئِذٍ فَهِمُوا أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَقُلْ أَنْ يَتَحَرَّزُوا مِنْ خَمِيرِ ٱلْخُبْزِ، بَلْ مِنْ تَعْلِيمِ ٱلْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ وَٱلصَّدُّوقِيِّينَ.

13 When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, He questioned His disciples: “Who do people say the Son of Man is?”

13 وَلَمَّا جَاءَ يَسُوعُ إِلَى نَوَاحِي قَيْصَرِيَّةِ فِيلُبُّسَ سَأَلَ تَلَامِيذَهُ قَائِلًا: «مَنْ يَقُولُ ٱلنَّاسُ إِنِّي أَنَا ٱبْنُ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ؟».

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

14 فَقَالُوا: «قَوْمٌ: يُوحَنَّا ٱلْمَعْمَدَانُ، وَآخَرُونَ: إِيلِيَّا، وَآخَرُونَ: إِرْمِيَا أَوْ وَاحِدٌ مِنَ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ».

15 “But what about you?” Jesus asked. “Who do you say I am?”

15 قَالَ لَهُمْ: «وَأَنْتُمْ، مَنْ تَقُولُونَ إِنِّي أَنَا؟».

16 Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

16 فَأَجَابَ سِمْعَانُ بُطْرُسُ وَقَالَ: «أَنْتَ هُوَ ٱلْمَسِيحُ ٱبْنُ ٱللهِ ٱلْحَيِّ!».

17 Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah! For this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by My Father in heaven.

17 فَأجَابَ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «طُوبَى لَكَ يا سِمْعَانُ بْنَ يُونَا، إِنَّ لَحْمًا وَدَمًا لَمْ يُعْلِنْ لَكَ، لَكِنَّ أَبِي ٱلَّذِي فِي ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ.

18 And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it.

18 وَأَنَا أَقُولُ لَكَ أَيْضًا: أَنْتَ بُطْرُسُ، وَعَلَى هَذِهِ ٱلصَّخْرَةِ أَبْنِي كَنِيسَتِي، وَأَبْوَابُ ٱلْجَحِيمِ لَنْ تَقْوَى عَلَيْهَا.

19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”

19 وَأُعْطِيكَ مَفَاتِيحَ مَلَكُوتِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ، فَكُلُّ مَا تَرْبِطُهُ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ يَكُونُ مَرْبُوطًا فِي ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ. وَكُلُّ مَا تَحُلُّهُ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ يَكُونُ مَحْلُولًا فِي ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ».

20 Then He admonished the disciples not to tell anyone that He was the Christ.

20 حِينَئِذٍ أَوْصَى تَلَامِيذَهُ أَنْ لَا يَقُولُوا لِأَحَدٍ إِنَّهُ يَسُوعُ ٱلْمَسِيحُ.

21 From that time on Jesus began to show His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things at the hands of the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and that He must be killed and on the third day be raised to life.

21 مِنْ ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ ٱبْتَدَأَ يَسُوعُ يُظْهِرُ لِتَلَامِيذِهِ أَنَّهُ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يَذْهَبَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ وَيَتَأَلَّمَ كَثِيرًا مِنَ ٱلشُّيُوخِ وَرُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَٱلْكَتَبَةِ، وَيُقْتَلَ، وَفِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّالِثِ يَقُومَ.

22 Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him. “Far be it from You, Lord!” he said. “This shall never happen to You!”

22 فَأَخَذَهُ بُطْرُسُ إِلَيْهِ وَٱبْتَدَأَ يَنْتَهِرُهُ قَائِلًا: «حَاشَاكَ يَارَبُّ! لَا يَكُونُ لَكَ هَذَا!».

23 But Jesus turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to Me. For you do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men.”

23 فَٱلْتَفَتَ وَقَالَ لِبُطْرُسَ: «ٱذْهَبْ عَنِّي يَاشَيْطَانُ! أَنْتَ مَعْثَرَةٌ لِي، لِأَنَّكَ لَا تَهْتَمُّ بِمَا لِلهِ لَكِنْ بِمَا لِلنَّاسِ».

24 Then Jesus told His disciples, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me.

24 حِينَئِذٍ قَالَ يَسُوعُ لِتَلَامِيذِهِ: «إِنْ أَرَادَ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ وَرَائِي فَلْيُنْكِرْ نَفْسَهُ وَيَحْمِلْ صَلِيبَهُ وَيَتْبَعْنِي،

25 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.

25 فَإِنَّ مَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُخَلِّصَ نَفْسَهُ يُهْلِكُهَا، وَمَنْ يُهْلِكُ نَفْسَهُ مِنْ أَجْلِي يَجِدُهَا.

26 What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?

26 لِأَنَّهُ مَاذَا يَنْتَفِعُ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ لَوْ رَبِحَ ٱلْعَالَمَ كُلَّهُ وَخَسِرَ نَفْسَهُ؟ أَوْ مَاذَا يُعْطِي ٱلْإِنْسَانُ فِدَاءً عَنْ نَفْسِهِ؟

27 For the Son of Man will come in His Father’s glory with His angels, and then He will repay each one according to what he has done.

27 فَإِنَّ ٱبْنَ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ سَوْفَ يَأْتِي فِي مَجْدِ أَبِيهِ مَعَ مَلَائِكَتِهِ، وَحِينَئِذٍ يُجَازِي كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ حَسَبَ عَمَلِهِ.

28 Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.”

28 اَلْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ مِنَ ٱلْقِيَامِ هَهُنَا قَوْمًا لَا يَذُوقُونَ ٱلْمَوْتَ حَتَّى يَرَوْا ٱبْنَ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ آتِيًا فِي مَلَكُوتِهِ».
