Mark 5 (NAV) · Opened

1ثُمَّ وَصَلُوا إِلَى الضَّفَّةِ الْمُقَابِلَةِ مِنَ الْبُحَيْرَةِ، إِلَى بَلْدَةِ الْجِرَاسِيِّينَ.On the other side of the sea, they arrived in the region of the Gerasenes.

2وَحَالَمَا نَزَلَ مِنَ الْقَارِبِ، لاقَاهُ مِنْ بَيْنِ الْقُبُورِ إِنْسَانٌ يَسْكُنُهُ رُوحٌ نَجِسٌ،As soon as Jesus got out of the boat, He was met by a man with an unclean spirit, who was coming from the tombs.

3كَانَ يُقِيمُ فِي الْقُبُورِ. وَلَمْ يَكُنْ أَحَدٌ يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يُقَيِّدَهُ وَلَوْ بِالسَّلاسِلِ.This man had been living in the tombs and could no longer be restrained, even with chains.

4فَإِنَّهُ كَثِيراً مَا رُبِطَ بِالْقُيُودِ وَالسَّلاسِلِ، فَكَانَ يُقَطِّعُ السَّلاسِلَ وَيُحَطِّمُ الْقُيُودَ، وَلَمْ يَقْدِرْ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يُخْضِعَهُ.Though he was often bound with chains and shackles, he had broken the chains and shattered the shackles. Now there was no one with the strength to subdue him.

5وَكَانَ فِي الْقُبُورِ وَفِي الْجِبَالِ دَائِماً، لَيْلاً وَنَهَاراً، يَصِيحُ وَيُجَرِّحُ جِسْمَهُ بِالْحِجَارَةِ.Night and day in the tombs and in the mountains he kept crying out and cutting himself with stones.

6وَلَكِنَّهُ لَمَّا رَأَى يَسُوعَ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ، رَكَضَ وَسَجَدَ لَهُ،When the man saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell on his knees before Him.

7وَصَرَخَ بِأَعْلَى صَوْتِهِ: «مَا شَأْنُكَ بِي يَا يَسُوعُ ابْنَ اللهِ الْعَلِيِّ؟ أَسْتَحْلِفُكَ بِاللهِ أَلّا تُعَذِّبَنِي!»And he shouted in a loud voice, “What do You want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You before God not to torture me!”

8فَإِنَّ يَسُوعَ كَانَ قَدْ قَالَ لَهُ: «أَيُّهَا الرُّوحُ النَّجِسُ، اخْرُجْ مِنَ الإِنْسَانِ!»For Jesus had already declared, “Come out of this man, you unclean spirit!”

9وَسَأَلَهُ يَسُوعُ: «مَا اسْمُكَ؟» فَأَجَابَ: «اسْمِي لَجِيُونُ لأَنَّنَا جَيْشٌ كَبِيرٌ!»“What is your name?” Jesus asked. “My name is Legion,” he replied, “for we are many.”

10وَتَوَسَّلَ إِلَيْهِ بِإِلْحَاحٍ أَلّا يَطْرُدَ الأَرْوَاحَ النَّجِسَةَ إِلَى خَارِجِ تِلْكَ الْمِنْطَقَةِ.And he begged Jesus repeatedly not to send them out of that region.

11وَكَانَ هُنَاكَ قَطِيعٌ كَبِيرٌ مِنَ الْخَنَازِيرِ يَرْعَى عِنْدَ الْجَبَلِ،There on the nearby hillside a large herd of pigs was feeding.

12فَتَوَسَّلَتِ الأَرْوَاحُ النَّجِسَةُ إِلَى يَسُوعَ قَائِلَةً: «أَرْسِلْنَا إِلَى الْخَنَازِيرِ لِنَدْخُلَ فِيهَا!»So the demons begged Jesus, “Send us to the pigs, so that we may enter them.”

13فَأَذِنَ لَهَا بِذَلِكَ. فَخَرَجَتِ الأَرْوَاحُ النَّجِسَةُ وَدَخَلَتْ فِي الْخَنَازِيرِ، فَانْدَفَعَ قَطِيعُ الْخَنَازِيرِ مِنْ عَلَى حَافَةِ الْجَبَلِ إِلَى الْبُحَيْرَةِ، فَغَرِقَ فِيهَا. وَكَانَ عَدَدُهُ نَحْوَ أَلْفَيْنِ.He gave them permission, and the unclean spirits came out and went into the pigs, and the herd of about two thousand rushed down the steep bank into the sea and drowned in the water.

14أَمَّا رُعَاةُ الْخَنَازِيرِ فَهَرَبُوا وَأَذَاعُوا الْخَبَرَ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ وَفِي الْمَزَارِعِ. فَخَرَجَ النَّاسُ لِيَرَوْا مَا قَدْ جَرَى،Those tending the pigs ran off and reported this in the town and countryside, and the people went out to see what had happened.

15وَجَاءُوا إِلَى يَسُوعَ، فَرَأَوْا الَّذِي كَانَ مَسْكُوناً بِالشَّيَاطِينِ جَالِساً وَلابِساً وَصَحِيحَ الْعَقْلِ، فَاسْتَوْلَى عَلَيْهِمِ الْخَوْفُ.When they came to Jesus, they saw the man who had been possessed by the legion of demons sitting there, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.

16فَحَدَّثَهُمُ الَّذِينَ رَأَوْا مَا جَرَى بِمَا حَدَثَ لِلْمَجْنُونِ وَلِلْخَنَازِيرِThose who had seen it described what had happened to the demon-possessed man and also to the pigs.

17فَأَخَذُوا يَرْجُونَ مِنْ يَسُوعَ أَنْ يَرْحَلَ عَنْ دِيَارِهِمْ.And the people began to beg Jesus to leave their region.

18وَفِيمَا كَانَ يَرْكَبُ الْقَارِبَ، تَوَسَّلَ إِلَيْهِ الإِنْسَانُ الَّذِي كَانَتِ الشَّيَاطِينُ تَسْكُنُهُ أَنْ يُرَافِقَهُ.As He was getting into the boat, the man who had been possessed by the demons begged to go with Him.

19فَلَمْ يَسْمَحْ لَهُ، بَلْ قَالَ لَهُ: «اذْهَبْ إِلَى بَيْتِكَ، وَإِلَى أَهْلِكَ، وَأَخْبِرْهُمْ بِمَا عَمِلَهُ الرَّبُّ بِكَ وَرَحِمَكَ».But Jesus would not allow him. “Go home to your own people,” He said, “and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and what mercy He has shown you.”

20فَانْطَلَقَ وَأَخَذَ يُنَادِي فِي الْمُدُنِ الْعَشْرِ بِمَا عَمِلَهُ يَسُوعُ بِهِ. فَتَعَجَّبَ الْجَمِيعُ.So the man went away and began to proclaim throughout the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him. And everyone was amazed.

21وَلَمَّا عَادَ يَسُوعُ وَعَبَرَ فِي الْقَارِبِ إِلَى الضَّفَّةِ الْمُقَابِلَةِ مِنَ الْبُحَيْرَةِ، اجْتَمَعَ إِلَيْهِ وَهُوَ عِنْدَ الشَّاطِئِ جَمْعٌ كَبِيرٌ.When Jesus had again crossed by boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered around Him beside the sea.

22وَإذَا وَاحِدٌ مِنْ رُؤَسَاءِ الْمَجْمَعِ، وَاسْمُهُ يَايِرُسُ، قَدْ جَاءَ إِلَيْهِ. وَمَا إِنْ رَآهُ، حَتَّى ارْتَمَى عِنْدَ قَدَمَيْهِ،A synagogue leader named Jairus arrived, and seeing Jesus, he fell at His feet

23وَتَوَسَّلَ إِلَيْهِ بِإِلْحَاحٍ، قَائِلاً: «ابْنَتِي الصَّغِيرَةُ مُشْرِفَةٌ عَلَى الْمَوْتِ. فَتَعَالَ وَالْمِسْهَا بِيَدِكَ لِتُشْفَى فَتَحْيَا!»and pleaded with Him urgently, “My little daughter is near death. Please come and place Your hands on her, so that she will be healed and live.”

24فَذَهَبَ مَعَهُ، يَتْبَعُهُ جَمْعٌ كَبِيرٌ وَهُمْ يَزْحَمُونَهُ.So Jesus went with him, and a large crowd followed and pressed around Him.

25وَكَانَتْ هُنَاكَ امْرَأَةٌ مُصَابَةٌ بِنَزِيفٍ دَمَوِيٍّ مُنْذُ اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً،And a woman was there who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years.

26وَقَدْ عَانَتِ الْكَثِيرَ مِنَ الأَلَمِ عَلَى أَيْدِي أَطِبَّاءَ كَثِيرِينَ، وَأَنْفَقَتْ فِي سَبِيلِ عِلاجِهَا كُلَّ مَا تَمْلِكُ، فَلَمْ تَجْنِ أَيَّةَ فَائِدَةٍ، بَلْ بِالأَحْرَى ازْدَادَتْ حَالَتُهَا سُوءاً.She had borne much agony under the care of many physicians and had spent all she had, but to no avail. Instead, her condition had only grown worse.

27فَإِذْ كَانَتْ قَدْ سَمِعَتْ عَنْ يَسُوعَ، جَاءَتْ فِي زَحْمَةِ الْجَمْعِ مِنْ خَلْفِهِ وَلَمَسَتْ رِدَاءَهُ،When the woman heard about Jesus, she came up through the crowd behind Him and touched His cloak.

28لأَنَّهَا قَالَتْ: «يَكْفِي أَنْ أَلْمِسَ ثِيَابَهُ لأُشْفَى».For she kept saying, “If only I touch His garments, I will be healed.”

29وَفِي الْحَالِ انْقَطَعَ نَزِيفُ دَمِهَا وَأَحَسَّتْ فِي جِسْمِهَا أَنَّهَا شُفِيَتْ مِنْ عِلَّتِهَا.Immediately her bleeding stopped, and she sensed in her body that she was healed of her affliction.

30وَحَالَمَا شَعَرَ يَسُوعُ فِي نَفْسِهِ بِالْقُوَّةِ الَّتِي خَرَجَتْ مِنْهُ، أَدَارَ نَظَرَهُ فِي الْجَمْعِ وَسَأَلَ: «مَنْ لَمَسَ ثِيَابِي؟»At once Jesus was aware that power had gone out from Him. Turning to the crowd, He asked, “Who touched My garments?”

31فَقَالَ لَهُ تَلامِيذُهُ: «أَنْتَ تَرَى الْجَمْعَ يَزْحَمُونَكَ، وَتَسْأَلُ: مَنْ لَمَسَنِي؟»His disciples answered, “You can see the crowd pressing in on You, and yet You ask, ‘Who touched Me?’”

32وَلَكِنَّهُ ظَلَّ يَتَطَلَّعُ حَوْلَهُ لِيَرَى الَّتِي فَعَلَتْ ذَلِكَ.But He kept looking around to see who had done this.

33فَمَا كَانَ مِنَ الْمَرْأَةِ، وَقَدْ عَلِمَتْ بِمَا حَدَثَ لَهَا، إِلّا أَنْ جَاءَتْ وَهِيَ خَائِفَةٌ تَرْتَجِفُ، وَارْتَمَتْ أَمَامَهُ وَأَخْبَرَتْهُ بِالْحَقِيقَةِ كُلِّهَا.Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before Him trembling in fear, and she told Him the whole truth.

34فَقَالَ لَهَا: «يَا ابْنَةُ، إِيمَانُكِ قَدْ شَفَاكِ. فَاذْهَبِي بِسَلامٍ وَتَعَافَيْ مِنْ عِلَّتِكِ!»“Daughter,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be free of your affliction.”

35وَبَيْنَمَا يَسُوعُ يَتَكَلَّمُ، جَاءَ بَعْضُهُمْ مِنْ بَيْتِ رَئِيسِ الْمَجْمَعِ قَائِلِينَ: «ابْنَتُكَ قَدْ مَاتَتْ. فَلِمَاذَا تُكَلِّفُ الْمُعَلِّمَ بَعْدُ؟»While He was still speaking, messengers from the house of Jairus arrived and said, “Your daughter is dead; why bother the Teacher anymore?”

36وَلَكِنَّ يَسُوعَ، مَا إِنْ سَمِعَ بِذَلِكَ الْخَبَرِ، حَتَّى قَالَ لِرَئِيسِ الْمَجْمَعِ: «لا تَخَفْ؛ آمِنْ فَقَطْ!»But Jesus overheard their conversation and said to Jairus, “Do not be afraid; just believe.”

37وَلَمْ يَدَعْ أَحَداً يُرَافِقُهُ إِلّا بُطْرُسَ وَيَعْقُوبَ وَيُوحَنَّا أَخَا يَعْقُوبَ.And He did not allow anyone to accompany Him except Peter, James, and John the brother of James.

38وَوَصَلَ إِلَى بَيْتِ رَئِيسِ الْمَجْمَعِ، فَرَأَى الضَّجِيجَ وَالنَّاسَ يَبْكُونَ وَيُوَلْوِلُونَ كَثِيراً.When they arrived at the house of the synagogue leader, Jesus saw the commotion and the people weeping and wailing loudly.

39فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ، قَالَ لَهُمْ: «لِمَاذَا تَضِجُّونَ وَتَبْكُونَ؟ لَمْ تَمُتِ الصَّبِيَّةُ، بَلْ هِيَ نَائِمَةٌ».He went inside and asked, “Why all this commotion and weeping? The child is not dead, but asleep.”

40فَضَحِكُوا مِنْهُ. أَمَّا هُوَ، فَأَخْرَجَهُمْ جَمِيعاً، ثُمَّ أَخَذَ مَعَهُ أَبَا الصَّبِيَّةِ وَأُمَّهَا وَالَّذِينَ كَانُوا يُرَافِقُونَهُ، وَدَخَلَ حَيْثُ كَانَتِ الصَّبِيَّةُ.And they laughed at Him. After He had put them all outside, He took the child’s father and mother and His own companions, and went in to see the child.

41وَإِذْ أَمْسَكَ بِيَدِهَا قَالَ: «طَلِيثَا قُومِي!» أَيْ: «يَا صَبِيَّةُ، لَكِ أَقُولُ: قُومِي».Taking her by the hand, Jesus said, “Talitha koum!” which means, “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”

42فَنَهَضَتِ الصَّبِيَّةُ حَالاً وَأَخَذَتْ تَمْشِي، إِذْ كَانَ عُمْرُهَا اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً. فَدُهِشَ الْجَمِيعُ دَهْشَةً عَظِيمَةً.Immediately the girl got up and began to walk around (she was twelve years old). And at once they were utterly astounded.

43فَأَمَرَهُمْ بِشِدَّةٍ أَنْ لَا يَعْلَمَ أَحَدٌ بِذَلِكَ، وَطَلَبَ أَنْ تُعْطَى طَعَاماً لِتَأْكُلَ.Then Jesus gave strict orders that no one should know about this, and He told them to give her something to eat.
