Matthew 9

1 Jesus got into a boat, crossed over, and came to His own town.

1 فَدَخَلَ ٱلسَّفِينَةَ وَٱجْتَازَ وَجَاءَ إِلَى مَدِينَتِهِ.

2 Just then some men brought to Him a paralytic lying on a mat. When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Take courage, son; your sins are forgiven.”

2 وَإِذَا مَفْلُوجٌ يُقَدِّمُونَهُ إِلَيْهِ مَطْرُوحًا عَلَى فِرَاشٍ. فَلَمَّا رَأَى يَسُوعُ إِيمَانَهُمْ قَالَ لِلْمَفْلُوجِ: «ثِقْ يا بُنَيَّ. مَغْفُورَةٌ لَكَ خَطَايَاكَ».

3 On seeing this, some of the scribes said to themselves, “This man is blaspheming!”

3 وَإِذَا قَوْمٌ مِنَ ٱلْكَتَبَةِ قَدْ قَالُوا فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ: «هَذَا يُجَدِّفُ!».

4 But Jesus knew what they were thinking and said, “Why do you harbor evil in your hearts?

4 فَعَلِمَ يَسُوعُ أَفْكَارَهُمْ، فَقَالَ: «لِمَاذَا تُفَكِّرُونَ بِٱلشَّرِّ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ؟

5 Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’?

5 أَيُّمَا أَيْسَرُ، أَنْ يُقَالَ: مَغْفُورَةٌ لَكَ خَطَايَاكَ، أَمْ أَنْ يُقَالَ: قُمْ وَٱمْشِ؟

6 But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins...” Then He said to the paralytic, “Get up, pick up your mat, and go home.”

6 وَلَكِنْ لِكَيْ تَعْلَمُوا أَنَّ لِٱبْنِ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ سُلْطَانًا عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ أَنْ يَغْفِرَ ٱلْخَطَايَا». حِينَئِذٍ قَالَ لِلْمَفْلُوجِ: «قُمِ ٱحْمِلْ فِرَاشَكَ وَٱذْهَبْ إِلَى بَيْتِكَ!».

7 And the man got up and went home.

7 فَقَامَ وَمَضَى إِلَى بَيْتِهِ.

8 When the crowds saw this, they were filled with awe and glorified God, who had given such authority to men.

8 فَلَمَّا رَأَى ٱلْجُمُوعُ تَعَجَّبُوا وَمَجَّدُوا ٱللهَ ٱلَّذِي أَعْطَى ٱلنَّاسَ سُلْطَانًا مِثْلَ هَذَا.

9 As Jesus went on from there, He saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax booth. “Follow Me,” He told him, and Matthew got up and followed Him.

9 وَفِيمَا يَسُوعُ مُجْتَازٌ مِنْ هُنَاكَ، رَأَى إِنْسَانًا جَالِسًا عِنْدَ مَكَانِ ٱلْجِبَايَةِ، ٱسْمُهُ مَتَّى. فَقَالَ لَهُ: «ٱتْبَعْنِي». فَقَامَ وَتَبِعَهُ.

10 Later, as Jesus was dining at Matthew’s house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with Him and His disciples.

10 وَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ مُتَّكِئٌ فِي ٱلْبَيْتِ، إِذَا عَشَّارُونَ وَخُطَاةٌ كَثِيرُونَ قَدْ جَاءُوا وَٱتَّكَأُوا مَعَ يَسُوعَ وَتَلَامِيذِهِ.

11 When the Pharisees saw this, they asked His disciples, “Why does your Teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”

11 فَلَمَّا نَظَرَ ٱلْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ قَالُوا لِتَلَامِيذِهِ: «لِمَاذَا يَأْكُلُ مُعَلِّمُكُمْ مَعَ ٱلْعَشَّارِينَ وَٱلْخُطَاةِ؟».

12 On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.

12 فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ يَسُوعُ قَالَ لَهُمْ: «لَا يَحْتَاجُ ٱلْأَصِحَّاءُ إِلَى طَبِيبٍ بَلِ ٱلْمَرْضَى.

13 But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

13 فَٱذْهَبُوا وَتَعَلَّمُوا مَا هُوَ: إِنِّي أُرِيدُ رَحْمَةً لَا ذَبِيحَةً، لِأَنِّي لَمْ آتِ لِأَدْعُوَ أَبْرَارًا بَلْ خُطَاةً إِلَى ٱلتَّوْبَةِ».

14 Then John’s disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Why is it that we and the Pharisees fast so often, but Your disciples do not fast?”

14 حِينَئِذٍ أَتَى إِلَيْهِ تَلَامِيذُ يُوحَنَّا قَائِلِينَ: «لِمَاذَا نَصُومُ نَحْنُ وَٱلْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ كَثِيرًا، وَأَمَّا تَلَامِيذُكَ فَلَا يَصُومُونَ؟».

15 Jesus replied, “How can the guests of the bridegroom mourn while He is with them? But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.

15 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «هَلْ يَسْتَطِيعُ بَنُو ٱلْعُرْسِ أَنْ يَنُوحُوا مَا دَامَ ٱلْعَرِيسُ مَعَهُمْ؟ وَلَكِنْ سَتَأْتِي أَيَّامٌ حِينَ يُرْفَعُ ٱلْعَرِيسُ عَنْهُمْ، فَحِينَئِذٍ يَصُومُونَ.

16 No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. For the patch will pull away from the garment, and a worse tear will result.

16 لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ يَجْعَلُ رُقْعَةً مِنْ قِطْعَةٍ جَدِيدَةٍ عَلَى ثَوْبٍ عَتِيقٍ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْمِلْءَ يَأْخُذُ مِنَ ٱلثَّوْبِ، فَيَصِيرُ ٱلْخَرْقُ أَرْدَأَ.

17 Neither do men pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst, the wine will spill, and the wineskins will be ruined. Instead, they pour new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.”

17 وَلَا يَجْعَلُونَ خَمْرًا جَدِيدَةً فِي زِقَاقٍ عَتِيقَةٍ، لِئَلَّا تَنْشَقَّ ٱلزِّقَاقُ، فَٱلْخَمْرُ تَنْصَبُّ وَٱلزِّقَاقُ تَتْلَفُ. بَلْ يَجْعَلُونَ خَمْرًا جَدِيدَةً فِي زِقَاقٍ جَدِيدَةٍ فَتُحْفَظُ جَمِيعًا».

18 While Jesus was saying these things, a synagogue leader came and knelt before Him. “My daughter has just died,” he said. “But come and place Your hand on her, and she will live.”

18 وَفِيمَا هُوَ يُكَلِّمُهُمْ بِهَذَا، إِذَا رَئِيسٌ قَدْ جَاءَ فَسَجَدَ لَهُ قَائِلًا: «إِنَّ ٱبْنَتِي ٱلْآنَ مَاتَتْ، لَكِنْ تَعَالَ وَضَعْ يَدَكَ عَلَيْهَا فَتَحْيَا».

19 So Jesus got up and went with him, along with His disciples.

19 فَقَامَ يَسُوعُ وَتَبِعَهُ هُوَ وَتَلَامِيذُهُ.

20 Suddenly a woman who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years came up behind Him and touched the fringe of His cloak.

20 وَإِذَا ٱمْرَأَةٌ نَازِفَةُ دَمٍ مُنْذُ ٱثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً قَدْ جَاءَتْ مِنْ وَرَائِهِ وَمَسَّتْ هُدْبَ ثَوْبِهِ،

21 She said to herself, “If only I touch His cloak, I will be healed.”

21 لِأَنَّهَا قَالَتْ فِي نَفْسِهَا: «إِنْ مَسَسْتُ ثَوْبَهُ فَقَطْ شُفِيتُ».

22 Jesus turned and saw her. “Take courage, daughter,” He said, “your faith has healed you.” And the woman was healed from that very hour.

22 فَٱلْتَفَتَ يَسُوعُ وَأَبْصَرَهَا، فَقَالَ: «ثِقِي يا ٱبْنَةُ، إِيمَانُكِ قَدْ شَفَاكِ». فَشُفِيَتِ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ مِنْ تِلْكَ ٱلسَّاعَةِ.

23 When Jesus entered the house of the synagogue leader, He saw the flute players and the noisy crowd.

23 وَلَمَّا جَاءَ يَسُوعُ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلرَّئِيسِ، وَنَظَرَ ٱلْمُزَمِّرِينَ وَٱلْجَمْعَ يَضِجُّونَ،

24 “Go away,” He told them. “The girl is not dead, but asleep.” And they laughed at Him.

24 قَالَ لَهُمْ: «تَنَحَّوْا، فَإِنَّ ٱلصَّبِيَّةَ لَمْ تَمُتْ لَكِنَّهَا نَائِمَةٌ». فَضَحِكُوا عَلَيْهِ.

25 After the crowd had been put outside, Jesus went in and took the girl by the hand, and she got up.

25 فَلَمَّا أُخْرِجَ ٱلْجَمْعُ دَخَلَ وَأَمْسَكَ بِيَدِهَا، فَقَامَتِ ٱلصَّبِيَّةُ.

26 And the news about this spread throughout that region.

26 فَخَرَجَ ذَلِكَ ٱلْخَبَرُ إِلَى تِلْكَ ٱلْأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا.

27 As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!”

27 وَفِيمَا يَسُوعُ مُجْتَازٌ مِنْ هُنَاكَ، تَبِعَهُ أَعْمَيَانِ يَصْرَخَانِ وَيَقُولَانِ: «ٱرْحَمْنَا يا ٱبْنَ دَاوُدَ!».

28 After Jesus had entered the house, the blind men came to Him. “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” He asked. “Yes, Lord,” they answered.

28 وَلَمَّا جَاءَ إِلَى ٱلْبَيْتِ تَقَدَّمَ إِلَيْهِ ٱلْأَعْمَيَانِ، فَقَالَ لَهُمَا يَسُوعُ: «أَتُؤْمِنَانِ أَنِّي أَقْدِرُ أَنْ أَفْعَلَ هَذَا؟». قَالَا لَهُ: «نَعَمْ، يا سَيِّدُ!».

29 Then He touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith will it be done to you.”

29 حِينَئِذٍ لَمَسَ أَعْيُنَهُمَا قَائِلًا: «بِحَسَبِ إِيمَانِكُمَا لِيَكُنْ لَكُمَا».

30 And their eyes were opened. Jesus warned them sternly, “See that no one finds out about this!”

30 فَٱنْفَتَحَتْ أَعْيُنُهُمَا. فَٱنْتَهَرَهُمَا يَسُوعُ قَائِلًا: «ٱنْظُرَا، لَا يَعْلَمْ أَحَدٌ!».

31 But they went out and spread the news about Him throughout the land.

31 وَلَكِنَّهُمَا خَرَجَا وَأَشَاعَاهُ فِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا.

32 As they were leaving, a demon-possessed man who was mute was brought to Jesus.

32 وَفِيمَا هُمَا خَارِجَانِ، إِذَا إِنْسَانٌ أَخْرَسُ مَجْنُونٌ قَدَّمُوهُ إِلَيْهِ.

33 And when the demon had been driven out, the man began to speak. The crowds were amazed and said, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel!”

33 فَلَمَّا أُخْرِجَ ٱلشَّيْطَانُ تَكَلَّمَ ٱلْأَخْرَسُ، فَتَعَجَّبَ ٱلْجُمُوعُ قَائِلِينَ: «لَمْ يَظْهَرْ قَطُّ مِثْلُ هَذَا فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ!».

34 But the Pharisees said, “It is by the prince of demons that He drives out demons.”

34 أَمَّا ٱلْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ فَقَالُوا: «بِرَئِيسِ ٱلشَّيَاطِينِ يُخْرِجُ ٱلشَّيَاطِينَ!».

35 Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness.

35 وَكَانَ يَسُوعُ يَطُوفُ ٱلْمُدُنَ كُلَّهَا وَٱلْقُرَى يُعَلِّمُ فِي مَجَامِعِهَا، وَيَكْرِزُ بِبِشَارَةِ ٱلْمَلَكُوتِ، وَيَشْفِي كُلَّ مَرَضٍ وَكُلَّ ضُعْفٍ فِي ٱلشَّعْبِ.

36 When He saw the crowds, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.

36 وَلَمَّا رَأَى ٱلْجُمُوعَ تَحَنَّنَ عَلَيْهِمْ، إِذْ كَانُوا مُنْزَعِجِينَ وَمُنْطَرِحِينَ كَغَنَمٍ لَا رَاعِيَ لَهَا.

37 Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.

37 حِينَئِذٍ قَالَ لِتَلَامِيذِهِ: «ٱلْحَصَادُ كَثِيرٌ وَلَكِنَّ ٱلْفَعَلَةَ قَلِيلُونَ.

38 Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest.”

38 فَٱطْلُبُوا مِنْ رَبِّ ٱلْحَصَادِ أَنْ يُرْسِلَ فَعَلَةً إِلَى حَصَادِهِ».
