Matthew 8

1 When Jesus came down from the mountain, large crowds followed Him.

1 وَلَمَّا نَزَلَ مِنَ الْجَبَلِ، تَبِعَتْهُ جُمُوعٌ كَثِيرَةٌ.

2 Suddenly a leper came and knelt before Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”

2 وَإذَا رَجُلٌ مُصَابٌ بِالْبَرَصِ، تَقَدَّمَ إِلَيْهِ وَسَجَدَ لَهُ قَائِلاً: «يَا سَيِّدُ، إِنْ كُنْتَ تُرِيدُ، فَأَنْتَ قَادِرٌ أَنْ تُطَهِّرَنِي!»

3 Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!” And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

3 فَمَدَّ يَدَهُ وَلَمَسَهُ وَقَالَ: «أُرِيدُ، فَاطْهُرْ!» وَفِي الْحَالِ طَهُرَ الرَجُل مِنْ بَرَصِهِ.

4 Then Jesus instructed him, “See that you don’t tell anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and offer the gift prescribed by Moses, as a testimony to them.”

4 وَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «انْتَبِهْ! لَا تُخْبِرْ أَحَداً، بَلِ اذْهَبْ وَاعْرِضْ نَفْسَكَ عَلَى الْكَاهِنِ، وَقَدِّمِ الْقُرْبَانَ الَّذِي أَمَرَ بِهِ مُوسَى، فَيَكُونَ ذلِكَ شَهَادَةً لَهُمْ!»

5 When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came and pleaded with Him,

5 وَحَالَمَا دَخَلَ يَسُوعُ مَدِينَةَ كَفْرَنَاحُومَ، جَاءَهُ قَائِدُ مِئَةٍ يَتَوَسَّلُ إِلَيْهِ

6 “Lord, my servant lies at home, paralyzed and in terrible agony.”

6 قَائِلاً: «يَا سَيِّدُ! إِنَّ خَادِمِي مَشْلُولٌ طَرِيحُ الْفِرَاشِ فِي الْبَيْتِ، يُعَانِي أَشَدَّ الآلامِ».

7 “I will go and heal him,” Jesus replied.

7 فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «سَأَذْهَبُ وَأَشْفِيهِ!»

8 The centurion answered, “Lord, I am not worthy to have You come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.

8 فَأَجَابَ قَائِدُ الْمِئَةِ: «يَا سَيِّدُ، أَنَا لَا أَسْتَحِقُّ أَنْ تَدْخُلَ تَحْتَ سَقْفِ بَيْتِي. إِنَّمَا قُلْ كَلِمَةً، فَيُشْفَى خَادِمِي.

9 For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell one to go, and he goes, and another to come, and he comes. I tell my servant to do something, and he does it.”

9 فَأَنَا أَيْضاً رَجُلٌ تَحْتَ سُلْطَةٍ أَعْلَى مِنِّي، وَلِي جُنُودٌ تَحْتَ إِمْرَتِي؛ أَقُولُ لأَحَدِهِمْ: اذْهَبْ! فَيَذْهَبُ، وَلِآخَرَ: تَعَالَ! فَيَأْتِي، وَلِعَبْدِي: افْعَلْ هَذَا! فَيَفْعَلُ».

10 When Jesus heard this, He marveled and said to those following Him, “Truly I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith.

10 فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ يَسُوعُ ذلِكَ، تَعَجَّبَ وَقَالَ لِمَنْ يَتْبَعُونَهُ: «الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: لَمْ أَجِدْ أَحَداً فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ لَهُ هَذَا الإِيمَانُ الْعَظِيمُ!

11 I say to you that many will come from the east and the west to share the banquet with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.

11 وَأَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ كَثِيرِينَ سَيَأْتُونَ مِنَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ وَيَتَّكِئُونَ مَعَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ فِي مَلَكُوتِ السَّمَاوَاتِ.

12 But the sons of the kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

12 أَمَّا بَنُو الْمَلَكُوتِ، فَيُطْرَحُونَ فِي الظُّلْمَةِ الْخَارِجِيَّةِ، هُنَاكَ يَكُونُ الْبُكَاءُ وَصَرِيرُ الأَسْنَانِ!»

13 Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go! As you have believed, so will it be done for you.” And his servant was healed at that very hour.

13 ثُمَّ قَالَ يَسُوعُ لِقَائِدِ الْمِئَةِ: «اذْهَبْ، وَلْيَكُنْ لَكَ مَا آمَنْتَ بِأَنْ يَكُونَ!» وَفِي تِلْكَ السَّاعَةِ شُفِيَ خَادِمُهُ.

14 When Jesus arrived at Peter’s house, He saw Peter’s mother-in-law sick in bed with a fever.

14 وَذَهَبَ يَسُوعُ إِلَى بَيْتِ بُطْرُسَ، فَوَجَدَ حَمَاتَهُ تَرْقُدُ مَرِيضَةً تُعَانِي مِنَ الْحُمَّى.

15 So He touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she got up and began to serve Him.

15 فَلَمَسَ يَدَهَا، فَذَهَبَتْ عَنْهَا الْحُمَّى، وَنَهَضَتْ وَأَخَذَتْ تَخْدِمُهُ.

16 When evening came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to Jesus, and He drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick.

16 وَعِنْدَ حُلُولِ الْمَسَاءِ، أَحْضَرَ إِلَيْهِ النَّاسُ كَثِيرِينَ مِنَ الْمَسْكُونِينَ بِالشَّيَاطِينِ. فَكَانَ يَطْرُدُ الشَّيَاطِينَ بِكَلِمَةٍ مِنْهُ. وَشَفَى الْمَرْضَى جَمِيعاً،

17 This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah: “He took up our infirmities and carried our diseases.”

17 لِكَيْ يَتِمَّ مَا قِيلَ بِلِسَانِ النَّبِيِّ إِشَعْيَاءَ الْقَائِلِ: «هُوَ أَخَذَ أَسْقَامَنَا، وَحَمَلَ أَمْرَاضَنَا».

18 When Jesus saw a large crowd around Him, He gave orders to cross to the other side of the sea.

18 وَحِينَ رَأَى يَسُوعُ أَنَّ الجُمُوعَ قَدِ احْتَشَدَتْ حَوْلَهُ، أَمَرَ تَلامِيذَهُ أَنْ يَعْبُرُوا إِلَى الضَّفَّةِ الْمُقَابِلَةِ.

19 And one of the scribes came to Him and said, “Teacher, I will follow You wherever You go.”

19 فَتَقَدَّمَ إِلَيْهِ أَحَدُ الْكَتَبَةِ وَقَالَ: «يَا مُعَلِّمُ، سَأَتْبَعُكَ حَيْثُمَا تَذْهَبُ!»

20 Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay His head.”

20 فَأَجَابَهُ يَسُوعُ: «لِلثَّعَالِبِ أَوْجَارٌ، وَلِطُيُورِ السَّمَاءِ أَوْكَارٌ؛ أَمَّا ابْنُ الإِنْسَانِ، فَلَيْسَ لَهُ مَكَانٌ يُسْنِدُ إِلَيْهِ رَأْسَهُ».

21 Another of His disciples requested, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”

21 وَقَالَ لَهُ آخَرُ مِنْ تَلامِيذِهِ: «يَا سَيِّدُ، اسْمَحْ لِي أَنْ أَذْهَبَ أَوَّلاً فَأَدْفِنَ أَبِي!»

22 But Jesus told him, “Follow Me, and let the dead bury their own dead.”

22 فَأَجَابَهُ يَسُوعُ: «اتْبَعْنِي الآنَ، وَدَعِ الْمَوْتَى يَدْفِنُونَ مَوْتَاهُمْ!»

23 When He got into the boat, His disciples followed Him.

23 ثُمَّ رَكِبَ الْقَارِبَ، وَتَبِعَهُ تَلامِيذُهُ.

24 Suddenly a violent storm came up on the sea, so that the boat was engulfed by the waves. But Jesus was sleeping.

24 وَإذَا عَاصِفَةٌ شَدِيدَةٌ قَدْ هَبَّتْ عَلَى الْبُحَيْرَةِ، حَتَّى كَادَتِ الْمِيَاهُ أَنْ تَبْتَلِعَ الْقَارِبَ. وَكَانَ هُوَ نَائِماً.

25 The disciples went and woke Him, saying, “Lord, save us! We are perishing!”

25 فَأَسْرَعَ التَّلامِيذُ إِلَيْهِ يُوْقِظُونَهُ قَائِلِينَ: «يَا سَيِّدُ، نَجِّنَا! إِنَّنَا نَهْلِكُ!»

26 “You of little faith,” Jesus replied, “why are you so afraid?” Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and it was perfectly calm.

26 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «لِمَاذَا أَنْتُمْ خَائِفُونَ، يَا قَلِيلِي الإِيمَانِ؟» ثُمَّ نَهَضَ وَزَجَرَ الرِّيحَ وَالْبَحْرَ، فَسَادَ هُدُوءٌ تَامٌّ.

27 The men were amazed and asked, “What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the sea obey Him!”

27 فَتَعَجَّبَ النَّاسُ وَقَالُوا: «تُرَى، مَنْ هَذَا حَتَّى إِنَّ الرِّيحَ وَالْبَحْرَ يُطِيعَانِهِ؟».

28 When Jesus arrived on the other side in the region of the Gadarenes, He was met by two demon-possessed men coming from the tombs. They were so violent that no one could pass that way.

28 وَلَمَّا وَصَلَ يَسُوعُ إِلَى الضَّفَّةِ الْمُقَابِلَةِ، فِي بَلْدَةِ الْجَدَرِيِّينَ، لاقَاهُ رَجُلانِ تَسْكُنُهُمَا الشَّيَاطِينُ، كَانَا خَارِجَيْنِ مِنْ بَيْنِ الْقُبُورِ، وَهُمَا شَرِسَانِ جِدّاً حَتَّى لَمْ يَكُنْ أَحَدٌ يَجْرُؤُ عَلَى الْمُرُورِ مِنْ تِلْكَ الطَّرِيقِ.

29 “What do You want with us, Son of God?” they shouted. “Have You come here to torture us before the appointed time?”

29 وَفَجْأَةً صَرَخَا قَائِلَيْنِ: «مَا شَأْنُكَ بِنَا يَا يَسُوعُ ابْنَ اللهِ؟ أَجِئْتَ إِلَى هُنَا قَبْلَ الأَوَانِ لِتُعَذِّبَنَا؟»

30 In the distance a large herd of pigs was feeding.

30 وَكَانَ قَطِيعٌ كَبِيرٌ مِنَ الْخَنَازِيرِ يَرْعَى عَلَى مَسَافَةٍ مِنْهُمَا،

31 So the demons begged Jesus, “If You drive us out, send us into the herd of pigs.”

31 فَقَالَتِ الشَّيَاطِينُ لِيَسُوعَ: «إِنْ كُنْتَ سَتَطْرُدُنَا، فَأَرْسِلْنَا إِلَى قَطِيعِ الْخَنَازِيرِ».

32 “Go!” He told them. So they came out and went into the pigs, and the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea and died in the waters.

32 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «اذْهَبُوا!» فَخَرَجُوا وَانْتَقَلُوا إِلَى قَطِيعِ الْخَنَازِيرِ، فَانْدَفَعَ الْقَطِيعُ مُسْرِعاً مِنْ عَلَى حَافَةِ الْجَبَلِ إِلَى الْبُحَيْرَةِ، وَمَاتَ فِيهَا غَرَقاً.

33 Those tending the pigs ran off into the town and reported all this, including the account of the demon-possessed men.

33 وَهَرَبَ رُعَاةُ الْخَنَازِيرِ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ، وَنَقَلُوا خَبَرَ كُلِّ مَا جَرَى، وَمَا حَدَثَ لِلْمَسْكُونَيْنِ.

34 Then the whole town went out to meet Jesus. And when they saw Him, they begged Him to leave their region.

34 وَإذَا الْمَدِينَةُ كُلُّهَا قَدْ خَرَجَتْ لِلِقَاءِ يَسُوعَ. وَلَمَّا وَجَدَهُ أَهْلُهَا، طَلَبُوا إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يَرْحَلَ عَنْ دِيَارِهِمْ.
