Mark 2 (NAV) · Opened

1وَبَعْدَ بِضْعَةِ أَيَّامٍ، رَجَعَ يَسُوعُ إِلَى بَلْدَةِ كَفْرَنَاحُومَ. وَانْتَشَرَ الْخَبَرُ أَنَّهُ فِي الْبَيْتِ،A few days later Jesus went back to Capernaum. And when the people heard that He was home,

2فَاجْتَمَعَ عَدَدٌ كَبِيرٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ، حَتَّى لَمْ يَبْقَ مَكَانٌ لأَحَدٍ، وَلا أَمَامَ الْبَابِ. فَأَخَذَ يُلْقِي عَلَيْهِمْ كَلِمَةَ اللهِ.they gathered in such large numbers that there was no more room, not even outside the door, as Jesus spoke the word to them.

3وَجَاءَهُ بَعْضُهُمْ بِمَشْلُولٍ يَحْمِلُهُ أَرْبَعَةُ رِجَالٍ.Then a paralytic was brought to Him, carried by four men.

4وَلكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَقْدِرُوا أَنْ يَقْتَرِبُوا إِلَيْهِ بِسَبَبِ الزِّحَامِ. فَنَقَبُوا السَّقْفَ فَوْقَ الْمَكَانِ الَّذِي كَانَ يَسُوعُ فِيهِ حَتَّى كَشَفُوهُ، ثُمَّ دَلَّوْا الْفِرَاشَ الَّذِي كَانَ الْمَشْلُولُ رَاقِداً عَلَيْهِ.Since they were unable to get to Jesus through the crowd, they uncovered the roof above Him, made an opening, and lowered the paralytic on his mat.

5فَلَمَّا رَأَى يَسُوعُ إِيمَانَهُمْ، قَالَ لِلْمَشْلُولِ: «يَا بُنَيَّ، قَدْ غُفِرَتْ لَكَ خَطَايَاكَ!»When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”

6وَكَانَ بَيْنَ الْجَالِسِينَ بَعْضُ الْكَتَبَةِ، فَأَخَذُوا يُفَكِّرُونَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ:But some of the scribes were sitting there and thinking in their hearts,

7«لِمَاذَا يَتَكَلَّمُ هَذَا الرَّجُلُ هكَذَا؟ إِنَّهُ يَتَكَلَّمُ كُفْرَاً! مَنْ يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يَغْفِرَ الْخَطَايَا إِلّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ؟»“Why does this man speak like this? He is blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?”

8وَفِي الْحَالِ أَدْرَكَ يَسُوعُ بِرُوحِهِ مَا يُفَكِّرُونَ فِيهِ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ، فَسَأَلَهُمْ: «لِمَاذَا تُفَكِّرُونَ بِهذَا الأَمْرِ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ؟At once Jesus knew in His spirit that they were thinking this way within themselves. “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts?” He asked.

9أَيُّ الأَمْرَيْنِ أَسْهَلُ أَنْ يُقَالَ لِلْمَشْلُولِ: قَدْ غُفِرَتْ لَكَ خَطَايَاكَ، أَوْ أَنْ يُقَالَ لَهُ: قُمِ احْمِلْ فِرَاشَكَ وَامْشِ؟“Which is easier: to say to a paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up, pick up your mat, and walk’?

10وَلكِنِّي قُلْتُ ذلِكَ لِتَعْلَمُوا أَنَّ لابْنِ الإِنْسَانِ عَلَى الأَرْضِ سُلْطَةَ غُفْرَانِ الْخَطَايَا». ثُمَّ قَالَ لِلْمَشْلُولِ:But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins...” He said to the paralytic,

11«لَكَ أَقُولُ: قُمِ احْمِلْ فِرَاشَكَ، وَاذْهَبْ إِلَى بَيْتِكَ!»“I tell you, get up, pick up your mat, and go home.”

12فَقَامَ فِي الْحَالِ، وَحَمَلَ فِرَاشَهُ، وَمَشَى أَمَامَ الْجَمِيعِ. فَذُهِلُوا جَمِيعاً وَعَظَّمُوا اللهَ قَائِلِينَ: «مَا رَأَيْنَا مِثْلَ هَذَا قَطُّ!»And immediately the man got up, picked up his mat, and walked out in front of them all. As a result, they were all astounded and glorified God, saying, “We have never seen anything like this!”

13وَخَرَجَ يَسُوعُ ثَانِيَةً إِلَى شَاطِئِ الْبُحَيْرَةِ، فَلَحِقَ بِهِ الْجَمْعُ كُلُّهُ. فَأَخَذَ يُعَلِّمُهُمْ.Once again Jesus went out beside the sea. All the people came to Him, and He taught them there.

14وَفِيمَا هُوَ سَائِرٌ، رَأَى لاوِيَ بْنَ حَلْفَى جَالِساً فِي مَكْتَبِ الْجِبَايَةِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: «اتْبَعْنِي!» فَقَامَ وَتَبِعَهُ.As He was walking along, He saw Levi son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax booth. “Follow Me,” He told him, and Levi got up and followed Him.

15وَبَيْنَمَا كَانَ يَسُوعُ مُتَّكِئاً فِي بَيْتِ لاوِي، أَخَذَ كَثِيرُونَ مِنَ الْجُبَاةِ وَالْخَاطِئِينَ يَتَّكِئُونَ مَعَهُ وَمَعَ تَلامِيذِهِ، لأَنَّ كَثِيرِينَ مِنْهُمْ كَانُوا هُنَاكَ فَلَحِقُوا بِهِ.While Jesus was dining at Levi’s house, many tax collectors and sinners were eating with Him and His disciples—for there were many who followed Him.

16فَلَمَّا رَأَى الْكَتَبَةُ وَالْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ يَسُوعَ يَأْكُلُ مَعَ الْجُبَاةِ وَالْخَاطِئِينَ، قَالُوا لِتَلامِيذِهِ: «لِمَاذَا يَأْكُلُ مَعَ الْجُبَاةِ وَالْخَاطِئِينَ؟»When the scribes who were Pharisees saw Jesus eating with these people, they asked His disciples, “Why does He eat with tax collectors and sinners?”

17فَسَمِعَ يَسُوعُ، وَأَجَابَ: «لَيْسَ الأَصِحَّاءُ هُمُ الْمُحْتَاجُونَ إِلَى الطَّبِيبِ، بَلِ الْمَرْضَى. مَا جِئْتُ لأَدْعُوَ صالِحِينَ بَلْ خَاطِئِينَ!»On hearing this, Jesus told them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

18وَكَانَ تَلامِيذُ يُوحَنَّا وَالْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ صَائِمِينَ، فَجَاءَ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى يَسُوعَ يَسْأَلُونَهُ: «لِمَاذَا يَصُومُ تَلامِيذُ يُوحَنَّا وَتَلامِيذُ الْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ، وَأَمَّا تَلامِيذُكَ فَلا يَصُومُونَ؟»Now John’s disciples and the Pharisees were often fasting. So people came to Jesus and asked, “Why don’t Your disciples fast like John’s disciples and those of the Pharisees?”

19فَأَجَابَهُمْ: «هَلْ يَقْدِرُ أَهْلُ الْعُرْسِ أَنْ يَصُومُوا وَالْعَرِيسُ بَيْنَهُمْ؟ مَادَامَ الْعَرِيسُ بَيْنَهُمْ لَا يَقْدِرُونَ أَنْ يَصُومُوا.Jesus replied, “How can the guests of the bridegroom fast while He is with them? As long as He is with them, they cannot fast.

20وَلكِنْ سَتَأْتِي أَيَّامٌ يَكُونُ الْعَرِيسُ فِيهَا قَدْ رُفِعَ مِنْ بَيْنِهِمْ. فِي تِلْكَ الأيَّامِ يَصُومُونَ.But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.

21لَا أَحَدَ يَرْقَعُ ثَوْباً عَتِيقاً بِرُقْعَةٍ مِنْ قُمَاشٍ جَدِيدٍ وَإلَّا، فَإِنَّ الرُّقْعَةَ الْجَدِيدَةَ تَنْكَمِشُ فَتَأْكُلُ مِنَ الثَّوْبِ الْعَتِيقِ، وَيَصِيرُ الْخَرْقُ أَسْوَأَ!No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. If he does, the new piece will pull away from the old, and a worse tear will result.

22وَلا أَحَدَ يَضَعُ خَمْراً جَدِيدَةً فِي قِرَبٍ عَتِيقَةٍ، حَتَّى لَا تُفَجِّرَ الْخَمْرُ الْجَدِيدَةُ الْقِرَبَ، فَتُرَاقَ الْخَمْرُ وَتَتْلَفَ الْقِرَبُ. إِنَّمَا الْخَمْرُ الْجَدِيدَةُ تُوْضَعُ فِي قِرَبٍ جَدِيدَةٍ».And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the wineskins will be ruined. Instead, new wine is poured into new wineskins.”

23وَمَرَّ يَسُوعُ ذَاتَ سَبْتٍ بَيْنَ الْحُقُولِ، فَأَخَذَ التَّلامِيذُ يَشُقُّونَ طَرِيقَهُمْ وَهُمْ يَقْطِفُونَ السَّنَابِلَ.One Sabbath Jesus was passing through the grainfields, and His disciples began to pick the heads of grain as they walked along.

24فَقَالَ الْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ لِيَسُوعَ: «انْظُرْ! لِمَاذَا يَفْعَلُ تَلامِيذُكَ مَا لَا يَحِلُّ فِعْلُهُ يَوْمَ السَّبْتِ؟»So the Pharisees said to Him, “Look, why are they doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?”

25فَأَجَابَهُمْ: «أَمَا قَرَأْتُمْ مَا فَعَلَهُ دَاوُدُ وَمُرَافِقُوهُ عِنْدَمَا احْتَاجُوا وَجَاعُوا؟Jesus replied, “Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry and in need?

26كَيْفَ دَخَلَ بَيْتَ اللهِ، فِي زَمَانِ أَبِيأَثَارَ رَئِيسِ الْكَهَنَةِ، وَأَكَلَ خُبْزَ التَّقْدِمَةِ الَّذِي لَا يَحِلُّ الأَكْلُ مِنْهُ إِلّا لِلْكَهَنَةِ وَحْدَهُمْ، بَلْ أَعْطَى مُرَافِقِيهِ أَيْضاً فَأَكَلُوا؟»During the high priesthood of Abiathar, he entered the house of God and ate the consecrated bread, which was lawful only for the priests. And he gave some to his companions as well.”

27ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُمْ: «إِنَّمَا جُعِلَ السَّبْتُ لِفَائِدَةِ الإِنْسَانِ، وَلَمْ يُجْعَلِ الإِنْسَانُ عَبْداً لِلسَّبْتِ.Then Jesus declared, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.

28فَابْنُ الإِنْسَانِ هُوَ رَبُّ السَّبْتِ أَيْضاً!»Therefore, the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”
