Matthew 8

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

1 وَلَمَّا نَزَلَ مِنَ ٱلْجَبَلِ تَبِعَتْهُ جُمُوعٌ كَثِيرَةٌ.

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

2 وَإِذَا أَبْرَصُ قَدْ جَاءَ وَسَجَدَ لَهُ قَائِلًا: «يَا سَيِّدُ، إِنْ أَرَدْتَ تَقْدِرْ 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 يَسُوعُ يَدَهُ وَلَمَسَهُ قَائِلًا: «أُرِيدُ، فَٱطْهُرْ!». وَلِلْوَقْتِ طَهُرَ بَرَصُهُ.

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 فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «ٱنْظُرْ أَنْ لَا تَقُولَ لِأَحَدٍ. بَلِ ٱذْهَبْ أَرِ نَفْسَكَ لِلْكَاهِنِ، وَقَدِّمِ ٱلْقُرْبَانَ ٱلَّذِي أَمَرَ بِهِ مُوسَى شَهَادَةً لَهُمْ».

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

5 وَلَمَّا دَخَلَ يَسُوعُ كَفْرَنَاحُومَ، جَاءَ إِلَيْهِ قَائِدُ مِئَةٍ يَطْلُبُ إِلَيْهِ

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

6 وَيَقُولُ: «يَا سَيِّدُ، غُلَامِي مَطْرُوحٌ فِي ٱلْبَيْتِ مَفْلُوجًا مُتَعَذِّبًا جِدًّا».

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

7 فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «أَنَا آتِي 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 ٱلْمِئَةِ وَقَالَ: «يَا سَيِّدُ، لَسْتُ مُسْتَحِقًّا أَنْ تَدْخُلَ تَحْتَ سَقْفِي، لَكِنْ قُلْ كَلِمَةً فَقَطْ فَيَبْرَأَ غُلَامِي.

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 لِأَنِّي أَنَا أَيْضًا إِنْسَانٌ تَحْتَ سُلْطَانٍ. لِي جُنْدٌ تَحْتَ يَدِي. أَقُولُ لِهَذَا: ٱذْهَبْ! فَيَذْهَبُ، وَلِآخَرَ: ٱئْتِ! فَيَأْتِي، وَلِعَبْدِيَ: ٱفْعَلْ 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 تَعَجَّبَ، وَقَالَ لِلَّذِينَ يَتْبَعُونَ: «اَلْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: لَمْ أَجِدْ وَلَا فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِيمَانًا بِمِقْدَارِ هَذَا!

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 ٱلْمَشَارِقِ وَٱلْمَغَارِبِ وَيَتَّكِئُونَ مَعَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ فِي مَلَكُوتِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ،

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

12 وَأَمَّا بَنُو ٱلْمَلَكُوتِ فَيُطْرَحُونَ إِلَى ٱلظُّلْمَةِ ٱلْخَارِجِيَّةِ. هُنَاكَ يَكُونُ ٱلْبُكَاءُ وَصَرِيرُ ٱلْأَسْنَانِ».

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 ٱلْمِئَةِ: «ٱذْهَبْ، وَكَمَا آمَنْتَ لِيَكُنْ لَكَ». فَبَرَأَ غُلَامُهُ فِي تِلْكَ ٱلسَّاعَةِ.

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

14 وَلَمَّا جَاءَ يَسُوعُ إِلَى بَيْتِ بُطْرُسَ، رَأَى حَمَاتَهُ مَطْرُوحَةً وَمَحْمُومَةً،

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

15 فَلَمَسَ يَدَهَا فَتَرَكَتْهَا ٱلْحُمَّى، فَقَامَتْ وَخَدَمَتْهُمْ.

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 وَلَمَّا صَارَ ٱلْمَسَاءُ قَدَّمُوا إِلَيْهِ مَجَانِينَ كَثِيرِينَ، فَأَخْرَجَ ٱلْأَرْوَاحَ بِكَلِمَةٍ، وَجَمِيعَ ٱلْمَرْضَى شَفَاهُمْ،

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 بِإِشَعْيَاءَ ٱلنَّبِيِّ ٱلْقَائِلِ: «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 وَلَمَّا رَأَى يَسُوعُ جُمُوعًا كَثِيرَةً حَوْلَهُ، أَمَرَ بِٱلذَّهَابِ إِلَى ٱلْعَبْرِ.

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

19 فَتَقَدَّمَ كَاتِبٌ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «يَا مُعَلِّمُ، أَتْبَعُكَ أَيْنَمَا تَمْضِي».

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 فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «لِلثَّعَالِبِ أَوْجِرَةٌ وَلِطُيُورِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ أَوْكَارٌ، وَأَمَّا ٱبْنُ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ فَلَيْسَ لَهُ أَيْنَ يُسْنِدُ رَأْسَهُ».

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

21 وَقَالَ لَهُ آخَرُ مِنْ تَلَامِيذِهِ: «يَا سَيِّدُ، ٱئْذَنْ لِي أَنْ أَمْضِيَ أَوَّلًا وَأَدْفِنَ أَبِي».

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

22 فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «ٱتْبَعْنِي، وَدَعِ ٱلْمَوْتَى يَدْفِنُونَ مَوْتَاهُمْ».

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

23 وَلَمَّا دَخَلَ ٱلسَّفِينَةَ تَبِعَهُ تَلَامِيذُهُ.

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

24 وَإِذَا ٱضْطِرَابٌ عَظِيمٌ قَدْ حَدَثَ فِي ٱلْبَحْرِ حَتَّى غَطَّتِ ٱلْأَمْوَاجُ ٱلسَّفِينَةَ، وَكَانَ هُوَ نَائِمًا.

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

25 فَتَقَدَّمَ تَلَامِيذُهُ وَأَيْقَظُوهُ قَائِلِينَ: «يَا سَيِّدُ، نَجِّنَا فَإِنَّنَا 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: «مَا بَالُكُمْ خَائِفِينَ يا قَلِيلِي ٱلْإِيمَانِ؟». ثُمَّ قَامَ وَٱنْتَهَرَ ٱلرِّيَاحَ وَٱلْبَحْرَ، فَصَارَ هُدُوٌّ عَظِيمٌ.

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

27 فَتَعَجَّبَ ٱلنَّاسُ قَائِلِينَ: «أَيُّ إِنْسَانٍ هَذَا؟ فَإِنَّ ٱلرِّيَاحَ وَٱلْبَحْرَ جَمِيعًا تُطِيعُهُ!».

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 جَاءَ إِلَى ٱلْعَبْرِ إِلَى كُورَةِ ٱلْجِرْجَسِيِّينَ، ٱسْتَقْبَلَهُ مَجْنُونَانِ خَارِجَانِ مِنَ ٱلْقُبُورِ هَائِجَانِ جِدًّا، حَتَّى لَمْ يَكُنْ أَحَدٌ يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يَجْتَازَ مِنْ تِلْكَ ٱلطَّرِيقِ.

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

29 وَإِذَا هُمَا قَدْ صَرَخَا قَائِلَيْنِ: «مَا لَنَا وَلَكَ يا يَسُوعُ ٱبْنَ ٱللهِ؟ أَجِئْتَ إِلَى هُنَا قَبْلَ ٱلْوَقْتِ لِتُعَذِّبَنَا؟».

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

30 وَكَانَ بَعِيدًا مِنْهُمْ قَطِيعُ خَنَازِيرَ كَثِيرَةٍ تَرْعَى.

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

31 فَٱلشَّيَاطِينُ طَلَبُوا إِلَيْهِ قَائِلِينَ: «إِنْ كُنْتَ تُخْرِجُنَا، فَأْذَنْ لَنَا أَنْ نَذْهَبَ إِلَى قَطِيعِ ٱلْخَنَازِيرِ».

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 لَهُمُ: «ٱمْضُوا». فَخَرَجُوا وَمَضَوْا إِلَى قَطِيعِ ٱلْخَنَازِيرِ، وَإِذَا قَطِيعُ ٱلْخَنَازِيرِ كُلُّهُ قَدِ ٱنْدَفَعَ مِنْ عَلَى ٱلْجُرُفِ إِلَى ٱلْبَحْرِ، وَمَاتَ فِي ٱلْمِيَاهِ.

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

33 أَمَّا ٱلرُّعَاةُ فَهَرَبُوا وَمَضَوْا إِلَى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، وَأَخْبَرُوا عَنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ، وَعَنْ أَمْرِ ٱلْمَجْنُونَيْنِ.

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

34 فَإِذَا كُلُّ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ قَدْ خَرَجَتْ لِمُلَاقَاةِ يَسُوعَ. وَلَمَّا أَبْصَرُوهُ طَلَبُوا أَنْ يَنْصَرِفَ عَنْ تُخُومِهِمْ.
