Matthew 4

1 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.

1 ثُمَّ صَعِدَ الرُّوحُ بِيَسُوعَ إِلَى الْبَرِّيَّةِ، لِيُجَرَّبَ مِنْ قِبَلِ إِبْلِيسَ.

2 After fasting forty days and forty nights, He was hungry.

2 وَبَعْدَمَا صَامَ أَرْبَعِينَ نَهَاراً وَأَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً، جَاعَ أَخِيراً،

3 The tempter came to Him and said, “If You are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.”

3 فَتَقَدَّمَ إِلَيْهِ الْمُجَرِّبُ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «إِنْ كُنْتَ ابْنَ اللهِ، فَقُلْ لِهَذِهِ الْحِجَارَةِ أَنْ تَتَحَوَّلَ إِلَى خُبْزٍ!»

4 But Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”

4 فَأَجَابَهُ قَائِلاً: «مَكْتُوبٌ: لَيْسَ بِالْخُبْزِ وَحْدَهُ يَحْيَا الإِنْسَانُ، بَلْ بِكُلِّ كَلِمَةٍ تَخْرُجُ مِنْ فَمِ اللهِ!»

5 Then the devil took Him to the holy city and set Him on the pinnacle of the temple.

5 ثُمَّ أَخَذَهُ إِبْلِيسُ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ الْمُقَدَّسَةِ، وَأَوْقَفَهُ عَلَى حَافَةِ سَطْحِ الْهَيْكَلِ،

6 “If You are the Son of God,” he said, “throw Yourself down. For it is written: ‘He will command His angels concerning You, and they will lift You up in their hands, so that You will not strike Your foot against a stone.’”

6 وَقَالَ لَهُ: «إِنْ كُنْتَ ابْنَ اللهِ، فَاطْرَحْ نَفْسَكَ إِلَى أَسْفَلُ، لأَنَّهُ مَكْتُوبٌ: يُوصِي مَلائِكَتَهُ بِكَ، فَيَحْمِلُونَكَ عَلَى أَيْدِيهِمْ لِكَيْ لَا تَصْدِمَ قَدَمَكَ بِحَجَرٍ!»

7 Jesus replied, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’”

7 فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «وَمَكْتُوبٌ أَيْضاً: لَا تُجَرِّبِ الرَّبَّ إِلهَكَ!»

8 Again, the devil took Him to a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory.

8 ثُمَّ أَخَذَهُ إِبْلِيسُ أَيْضاً إِلَى قِمَّةِ جَبَلٍ عَالٍ جِدّاً، وَأَرَاهُ جَمِيعَ مَمَالِكِ الْعَالَمِ وَعَظَمَتَهَا،

9 “All this I will give You,” he said, “if You will fall down and worship me.”

9 وَقَالَ لَهُ: «أُعْطِيكَ هَذِهِ كُلَّهَا إِنْ جَثَوْتَ وَسَجَدْتَ لِي!»

10 “Away from Me, Satan!” Jesus told him. “For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only.’”

10 فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «اذْهَبْ يَا شَيْطَانُ! لأَنَّهُ مَكْتُوبٌ: لِلرَّبِّ إِلهِكَ تَسْجُدُ، وَإِيَّاهُ وَحْدَهُ تَعْبُدُ!»

11 Then the devil left Him, and angels came and ministered to Him.

11 فَتَرَكَهُ إِبْلِيسُ، وَإذَا بَعْضُ الْمَلائِكَةِ جَاءُوا إِلَيْهِ وَأَخَذُوا يَخْدِمُونَهُ.

12 When Jesus heard that John had been imprisoned, He withdrew to Galilee.

12 وَلَمَّا سَمِعَ يَسُوعُ أَنَّهُ قَدْ أُلْقِيَ الْقَبْضُ عَلَى يُوحَنَّا، عَادَ إِلَى مِنْطَقَةِ الْجَلِيلِ.

13 Leaving Nazareth, He went and lived in Capernaum, which is by the sea in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali,

13 وَإِذْ تَرَكَ النَّاصِرَةَ، تَوَجَّهَ إِلَى كَفْرَنَاحُومَ الْوَاقِعَةِ عَلَى شَاطِئِ الْبُحَيْرَةِ ضِمْنَ حُدُودِ زَبُولُونَ وَنَفْتَالِيمَ، وَسَكَنَ فِيهَا،

14 to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:

14 لِيَتِمَّ مَا قِيلَ بِلِسَانِ النَّبِيِّ إِشَعْيَاءَ الْقَائِلِ:

15 “Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, the Way of the Sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles—

15 «أَرْضُ زَبُولُونَ وَأَرْضُ نَفْتَالِيمَ، عَلَى طَرِيقِ الْبُحَيْرَةِ مَا وَرَاءَ نَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ، بِلادُ الْجَلِيلِ الَّتِي يَسْكُنُهَا الأَجَانِبُ،

16 the people living in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death, a light has dawned.”

16 الشَّعْبُ الْجَالِسُ فِي الظُّلْمَةِ، أَبْصَرَ نُوراً عَظِيماً، وَالْجَالِسُونَ فِي أَرْضِ الْمَوْتِ وَظِلالِهِ، أَشْرَقَ عَلَيْهِمْ نُورٌ!»

17 From that time on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.”

17 مِنْ ذلِكَ الْحِينِ بَدَأَ يَسُوعُ يُبَشِّرُ قَائِلاً: «تُوبُوا، فَقَدِ اقْتَرَبَ مَلَكُوتُ السَّمَاوَاتِ!»

18 As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, He saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.

18 وَبَيْنَمَا كَانَ يَسُوعُ يَمْشِي عَلَى شَاطِئِ بُحَيْرَةِ الْجَلِيلِ، رَأَى أَخَوَيْنِ، هُمَا سِمْعَانُ الَّذِي يُدْعَى بُطْرُسَ وَأَنْدَرَاوُسُ أَخُوهُ، يُلْقِيَانِ الشَّبَكَةَ فِي الْبُحَيْرَةِ، إِذْ كَانَا صَيَّادَيْنِ.

19 “Come, follow Me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.”

19 فَقَالَ لَهُمَا: «هَيَّا اتْبَعَانِي، فَأَجْعَلَكُمَا صَيَّادَيْنِ لِلنَّاسِ!»

20 And at once they left their nets and followed Him.

20 فَتَرَكَا الشِّبَاكَ وَتَبِعَاهُ حَالاً.

21 Going on from there, He saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee, mending their nets. Jesus called them,

21 وَسَارَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ فَرَأَى أَخَوَيْنِ آخَرَيْنِ، هُمَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ زَبَدِي وَيُوحَنَّا أَخُوهُ، فِي الْقَارِبِ مَعَ أَبِيهِمَا يُصْلِحَانِ شِبَاكَهُمَا، فَدَعَاهُمَا لِيَتْبَعَاهُ.

22 and immediately they left the boat and their father and followed Him.

22 فَتَركَا الْقَارِبَ وَأَبَاهُمَا، وَتَبِعَاهُ حَالاً.

23 Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people.

23 وَكَانَ يَسُوعُ يَتَنَقَّلُ فِي مِنْطَقَةِ الْجَلِيلِ كُلِّهَا، يُعَلِّمُ فِي مَجَامِعِ الْيَهُودِ، وَيُنَادِي بِبِشَارَةِ الْمَلَكُوتِ، وَيَشْفِي كُلَّ مَرَضٍ وَعِلَّةٍ فِي الشَّعْبِ،

24 News about Him spread all over Syria, and people brought to Him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering acute pain, the demon-possessed, those having seizures, and the paralyzed, and He healed them.

24 فَذَاعَ صِيتُهُ فِي سُورِيَّةَ كُلِّهَا. فَحَمَلُوا إِلَيْهِ مَرْضَاهُمُ الْمُصَابِينَ بِأَمْرَاضٍ وَأَوْجَاعٍ مُخْتَلِفَةٍ، وَالْمَسْكُونِينَ بِالشَّيَاطِينِ، وَالْمَصْرُوعِينَ، وَالْمَشْلُولِينَ، فَشَفَاهُمْ جَمِيعاً.

25 Large crowds followed Him, having come from Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and beyond the Jordan.

25 فَتَبِعَتْهُ جُمُوعٌ كَبِيرَةٌ مِنْ مَنَاطِقِ الْجَلِيلِ، وَالْمُدُنِ الْعَشْرِ، وَأُورُشَلِيمَ، وَالْيَهُودِيَّةِ، وَمَا وَرَاءَ الأُرْدُنِّ.
