John 7 (AVD) · Opened

1وَكَانَ يَسُوعُ يَتَرَدَّدُ بَعْدَ هَذَا فِي ٱلْجَلِيلِ، لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يُرِدْ أَنْ يَتَرَدَّدَ فِي ٱلْيَهُودِيَّةِ لِأَنَّ ٱلْيَهُودَ كَانُوا يَطْلُبُونَ أَنْ يَقْتُلُوهُ.After this, Jesus traveled throughout Galilee. He did not want to travel in Judea, because the Jews there were trying to kill Him.

2وَكَانَ عِيدُ ٱلْيَهُودِ، عِيدُ ٱلْمَظَالِّ، قَرِيبًا.However, the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles was near.

3فَقَالَ لَهُ إِخْوَتُهُ: «ٱنْتَقِلْ مِنْ هُنَا وَٱذْهَبْ إِلَى ٱلْيَهُودِيَّةِ، لِكَيْ يَرَى تَلَامِيذُكَ أَيْضًا أَعْمَالَكَ ٱلَّتِي تَعْمَلُ،So Jesus’ brothers said to Him, “Leave here and go to Judea, so that Your disciples there may see the works You are doing.

4لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ يَعْمَلُ شَيْئًا فِي ٱلْخَفَاءِ وَهُوَ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَكُونَ عَلَانِيَةً. إِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْمَلُ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَشْيَاءَ فَأَظْهِرْ نَفْسَكَ لِلْعَالَمِ».For no one who wants to be known publicly acts in secret. Since You are doing these things, show Yourself to the world.”

5لِأَنَّ إِخْوَتَهُ أَيْضًا لَمْ يَكُونُوا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِ.For even His own brothers did not believe in Him.

6فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «إِنَّ وَقْتِي لَمْ يَحْضُرْ بَعْدُ، وَأَمَّا وَقْتُكُمْ فَفِي كُلِّ حِينٍ حَاضِرٌ.Therefore Jesus told them, “Although your time is always at hand, My time has not yet come.

7لَا يَقْدِرُ ٱلْعَالَمُ أَنْ يُبْغِضَكُمْ، وَلَكِنَّهُ يُبْغِضُنِي أَنَا، لِأَنِّي أَشْهَدُ عَلَيْهِ أَنَّ أَعْمَالَهُ شِرِّيرَةٌ.The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me, because I testify that its works are evil.

8اِصْعَدُوا أَنْتُمْ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْعِيدِ. أَنَا لَسْتُ أَصْعَدُ بَعْدُ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْعِيدِ، لِأَنَّ وَقْتِي لَمْ يُكْمَلْ بَعْدُ».Go up to the feast on your own. I am not going up to this feast, because My time has not yet come.”

9قَالَ لَهُمْ هَذَا وَمَكَثَ فِي ٱلْجَلِيلِ.Having said this, Jesus remained in Galilee.

10وَلَمَّا كَانَ إِخْوَتُهُ قَدْ صَعِدُوا، حِينَئِذٍ صَعِدَ هُوَ أَيْضًا إِلَى ٱلْعِيدِ، لَا ظَاهِرًا بَلْ كَأَنَّهُ فِي ٱلْخَفَاءِ.But after His brothers had gone up to the feast, He also went—not publicly, but in secret.

11فَكَانَ ٱلْيَهُودُ يَطْلُبُونَهُ فِي ٱلْعِيدِ، وَيَقُولُونَ: «أَيْنَ ذَاكَ؟».So the Jews were looking for Him at the feast and asking, “Where is He?”

12وَكَانَ فِي ٱلْجُمُوعِ مُنَاجَاةٌ كَثِيرَةٌ مِنْ نَحْوِهِ. بَعْضُهُمْ يَقُولُونَ: «إِنَّهُ صَالِحٌ». وَآخَرُونَ يَقُولُونَ: «لَا، بَلْ يُضِلُّ ٱلشَّعْبَ».Many in the crowds were whispering about Him. Some said, “He is a good man.” But others replied, “No, He deceives the people.”

13وَلَكِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ أَحَدٌ يَتَكَلَّمُ عَنْهُ جِهَارًا لِسَبَبِ ٱلْخَوْفِ مِنَ ٱلْيَهُودِ.Yet no one would speak publicly about Him for fear of the Jews.

14وَلَمَّا كَانَ ٱلْعِيدُ قَدِ ٱنْتَصَفَ، صَعِدَ يَسُوعُ إِلَى ٱلْهَيْكَلِ، وَكَانَ يُعَلِّمُ.About halfway through the feast, Jesus went up to the temple courts and began to teach.

15فَتَعَجَّبَ ٱلْيَهُودُ قَائِلِينَ: «كَيْفَ هَذَا يَعْرِفُ ٱلْكُتُبَ، وَهُوَ لَمْ يَتَعَلَّمْ؟».The Jews were amazed and asked, “How did this man attain such learning without having studied?”

16أَجَابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ: «تَعْلِيمِي لَيْسَ لِي بَلْ لِلَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي.“My teaching is not My own,” Jesus replied. “It comes from Him who sent Me.

17إِنْ شَاءَ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يَعْمَلَ مَشِيئَتَهُ يَعْرِفُ ٱلتَّعْلِيمَ، هَلْ هُوَ مِنَ ٱللهِ، أَمْ أَتَكَلَّمُ أَنَا مِنْ نَفْسِي.If anyone desires to do His will, he will know whether My teaching is from God or whether I speak on My own.

18مَنْ يَتَكَلَّمُ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ يَطْلُبُ مَجْدَ نَفْسِهِ، وَأَمَّا مَنْ يَطْلُبُ مَجْدَ ٱلَّذِي أَرْسَلَهُ فَهُوَ صَادِقٌ وَلَيْسَ فِيهِ ظُلْمٌ.He who speaks on his own authority seeks his own glory, but He who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him is a man of truth; in Him there is no falsehood.

19أَلَيْسَ مُوسَى قَدْ أَعْطَاكُمُ ٱلنَّامُوسَ؟ وَلَيْسَ أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ يَعْمَلُ ٱلنَّامُوسَ! لِمَاذَا تَطْلُبُونَ أَنْ تَقْتُلُونِي؟»Has not Moses given you the law? Yet not one of you keeps it. Why are you trying to kill Me?”

20أَجَابَ ٱلْجَمْعُ وَقَالُوا: «بِكَ شَيْطَانٌ. مَنْ يَطْلُبُ أَنْ يَقْتُلَكَ؟».“You have a demon,” the crowd replied. “Who is trying to kill You?”

21أَجَابَ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «عَمَلًا وَاحِدًا عَمِلْتُ فَتَتَعَجَّبُونَ جَمِيعًا.Jesus answered them, “I did one miracle, and you are all amazed.

22لِهَذَا أَعْطَاكُمْ مُوسَى ٱلْخِتَانَ، لَيْسَ أَنَّهُ مِنْ مُوسَى، بَلْ مِنَ ٱلْآبَاءِ. فَفِي ٱلسَّبْتِ تَخْتِنُونَ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ.But because Moses gave you circumcision, you circumcise a boy on the Sabbath (not that it is from Moses, but from the patriarchs.)

23فَإِنْ كَانَ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ يَقْبَلُ ٱلْخِتَانَ فِي ٱلسَّبْتِ، لِئَلَّا يُنْقَضَ نَامُوسُ مُوسَى، أَفَتَسْخَطُونَ عَلَيَّ لِأَنِّي شَفَيْتُ إِنْسَانًا كُلَّهُ فِي ٱلسَّبْتِ؟If a boy can be circumcised on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses will not be broken, why are you angry with Me for making the whole man well on the Sabbath?

24لَا تَحْكُمُوا حَسَبَ ٱلظَّاهِرِ بَلِ ٱحْكُمُوا حُكْمًا عَادِلًا».Stop judging by outward appearances, and start judging justly.”

25فَقَالَ قَوْمٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ أُورُشَلِيمَ: «أَلَيْسَ هَذَا هُوَ ٱلَّذِي يَطْلُبُونَ أَنْ يَقْتُلُوهُ؟Then some of the people of Jerusalem began to say, “Isn’t this the man they are trying to kill?

26وَهَا هُوَ يَتَكَلَّمُ جِهَارًا وَلَا يَقُولُونَ لَهُ شَيْئًا! أَلَعَلَّ ٱلرُّؤَسَاءَ عَرَفُوا يَقِينًا أَنَّ هَذَا هُوَ ٱلْمَسِيحُ حَقًّا؟Yet here He is, speaking publicly, and they are not saying anything to Him. Have the rulers truly recognized that this is the Christ?

27وَلَكِنَّ هَذَا نَعْلَمُ مِنْ أَيْنَ هُوَ، وَأَمَّا ٱلْمَسِيحُ فَمَتَى جَاءَ لَا يَعْرِفُ أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَيْنَ هُوَ».But we know where this man is from. When the Christ comes, no one will know where He is from.”

28فَنَادَى يَسُوعُ وَهُوَ يُعَلِّمُ فِي ٱلْهَيْكَلِ قَائِلًا: «تَعْرِفُونَنِي وَتَعْرِفُونَ مِنْ أَيْنَ أَنَا، وَمِنْ نَفْسِي لَمْ آتِ، بَلِ ٱلَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي هُوَ حَقٌّ، ٱلَّذِي أَنْتُمْ لَسْتُمْ تَعْرِفُونَهُ.Then Jesus, still teaching in the temple courts, cried out, “You know Me, and you know where I am from. I have not come of My own accord, but He who sent Me is true. You do not know Him,

29أَنَا أَعْرِفُهُ لِأَنِّي مِنْهُ، وَهُوَ أَرْسَلَنِي».but I know Him, because I am from Him and He sent Me.”

30فَطَلَبُوا أَنْ يُمْسِكُوهُ، وَلَمْ يُلْقِ أَحَدٌ يَدًا عَلَيْهِ، لِأَنَّ سَاعَتَهُ لَمْ تَكُنْ قَدْ جَاءَتْ بَعْدُ.So they tried to seize Him, but no one laid a hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come.

31فَآمَنَ بِهِ كَثِيرُونَ مِنَ ٱلْجَمْعِ، وَقَالُوا: «أَلَعَلَّ ٱلْمَسِيحَ مَتَى جَاءَ يَعْمَلُ آيَاتٍ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ هَذِهِ ٱلَّتِي عَمِلَهَا هَذَا؟».Many in the crowd, however, believed in Him and said, “When the Christ comes, will He perform more signs than this man?”

32سَمِعَ ٱلْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ ٱلْجَمْعَ يَتَنَاجَوْنَ بِهَذَا مِنْ نَحْوِهِ، فَأَرْسَلَ ٱلْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ وَرُؤَسَاءُ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ خُدَّامًا لِيُمْسِكُوهُ.When the Pharisees heard the crowd whispering these things about Jesus, they and the chief priests sent officers to arrest Him.

33فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «أَنَا مَعَكُمْ زَمَانًا يَسِيرًا بَعْدُ، ثُمَّ أَمْضِي إِلَى ٱلَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي.So Jesus said, “I am with you only a little while longer, and then I am going to the One who sent Me.

34سَتَطْلُبُونَنِي وَلَا تَجِدُونَنِي، وَحَيْثُ أَكُونُ أَنَا لَا تَقْدِرُونَ أَنْتُمْ أَنْ تَأْتُوا».You will look for Me, but you will not find Me; and where I am, you cannot come.”

35فَقَالَ ٱلْيَهُودُ فِيمَا بَيْنَهُمْ: «إِلَى أَيْنَ هَذَا مُزْمِعٌ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ حَتَّى لَا نَجِدَهُ نَحْنُ؟ أَلَعَلَّهُ مُزْمِعٌ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ إِلَى شَتَاتِ ٱلْيُونَانِيِّينَ وَيُعَلِّمَ ٱلْيُونَانِيِّينَ؟At this, the Jews said to one another, “Where does He intend to go that we will not find Him? Will He go where the Jews are dispersed among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?

36مَا هَذَا ٱلْقَوْلُ ٱلَّذِي قَالَ: سَتَطْلُبُونَنِي وَلَا تَجِدُونَنِي، وَحَيْثُ أَكُونُ أَنَا لَا تَقْدِرُونَ أَنْتُمْ أَنْ تَأْتُوا؟».What does He mean by saying, ‘You will look for Me, but you will not find Me,’ and, ‘Where I am, you cannot come’?”

37وَفِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْأَخِيرِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ مِنَ ٱلْعِيدِ وَقَفَ يَسُوعُ وَنَادَى قَائِلًا: «إِنْ عَطِشَ أَحَدٌ فَلْيُقْبِلْ إِلَيَّ وَيَشْرَبْ.On the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood up and called out in a loud voice, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink.

38مَنْ آمَنَ بِي، كَمَا قَالَ ٱلْكِتَابُ، تَجْرِي مِنْ بَطْنِهِ أَنْهَارُ مَاءٍ حَيٍّ».Whoever believes in Me, as the Scripture has said: ‘Streams of living water will flow from within him.’”

39قَالَ هَذَا عَنِ ٱلرُّوحِ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِ مُزْمِعِينَ أَنْ يَقْبَلُوهُ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرُّوحَ ٱلْقُدُسَ لَمْ يَكُنْ قَدْ أُعْطِيَ بَعْدُ، لِأَنَّ يَسُوعَ لَمْ يَكُنْ قَدْ مُجِّدَ بَعْدُ.He was speaking about the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were later to receive. For the Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.

40فَكَثِيرُونَ مِنَ ٱلْجَمْعِ لَمَّا سَمِعُوا هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامَ قَالُوا: «هَذَا بِٱلْحَقِيقَةِ هُوَ ٱلنَّبِيُّ».On hearing these words, some of the people said, “This is truly the Prophet.”

41آخَرُونَ قَالُوا: «هَذَا هُوَ ٱلْمَسِيحُ!». وَآخَرُونَ قَالُوا: «أَلَعَلَّ ٱلْمَسِيحَ مِنَ ٱلْجَلِيلِ يَأْتِي؟Others declared, “This is the Christ.” But still others asked, “How can the Christ come from Galilee?

42أَلَمْ يَقُلِ ٱلْكِتَابُ إِنَّهُ مِنْ نَسْلِ دَاوُدَ، وَمِنْ بَيْتِ لَحْمٍ، ٱلْقَرْيَةِ ٱلَّتِي كَانَ دَاوُدُ فِيهَا، يَأْتِي ٱلْمَسِيحُ؟».Doesn’t the Scripture say that the Christ will come from the line of David and from Bethlehem, the village where David lived?”

43فَحَدَثَ ٱنْشِقَاقٌ فِي ٱلْجَمْعِ لِسَبَبِهِ.So there was division in the crowd because of Jesus.

44وَكَانَ قَوْمٌ مِنْهُمْ يُرِيدُونَ أَنْ يُمْسِكُوهُ، وَلَكِنْ لَمْ يُلْقِ أَحَدٌ عَلَيْهِ ٱلْأَيَادِيَ.Some of them wanted to seize Him, but no one laid a hand on Him.

45فَجَاءَ ٱلْخُدَّامُ إِلَى رُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَٱلْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ. فَقَالَ هَؤُلَاءِ لَهُمْ: «لِمَاذَا لَمْ تَأْتُوا بِهِ؟».Then the officers returned to the chief priests and Pharisees, who asked them, “Why didn’t you bring Him in?”

46أَجَابَ ٱلْخُدَّامُ: «لَمْ يَتَكَلَّمْ قَطُّ إِنْسَانٌ هَكَذَا مِثْلَ هَذَا ٱلْإِنْسَانِ!».“Never has anyone spoken like this man!” the officers answered.

47فَأَجَابَهُمُ ٱلْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ: «أَلَعَلَّكُمْ أَنْتُمْ أَيْضًا قَدْ ضَلَلْتُمْ؟“Have you also been deceived?” replied the Pharisees.

48أَلَعَلَّ أَحَدًا مِنَ ٱلرُّؤَسَاءِ أَوْ مِنَ ٱلْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ آمَنَ بِهِ؟“Have any of the rulers or Pharisees believed in Him?

49وَلَكِنَّ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبَ ٱلَّذِي لَا يَفْهَمُ ٱلنَّامُوسَ هُوَ مَلْعُونٌ».But this crowd that does not know the law—they are under a curse.”

50قَالَ لَهُمْ نِيقُودِيمُوسُ، ٱلَّذِي جَاءَ إِلَيْهِ لَيْلًا، وَهُوَ وَاحِدٌ مِنْهُمْ:Nicodemus, who had gone to Jesus earlier and who himself was one of them, asked,

51«أَلَعَلَّ نَامُوسَنَا يَدِينُ إِنْسَانًا لَمْ يَسْمَعْ مِنْهُ أَوَّلًا وَيَعْرِفْ مَاذَا فَعَلَ؟».“Does our law convict a man without first hearing from him to determine what he has done?”

52أَجَابُوا وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «أَلَعَلَّكَ أَنْتَ أَيْضًا مِنَ ٱلْجَلِيلِ؟ فَتِّشْ وَٱنْظُرْ! إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَقُمْ نَبِيٌّ مِنَ ٱلْجَلِيلِ».“Aren’t you also from Galilee?” they replied. “Look into it, and you will see that no prophet comes out of Galilee.”

53فَمَضَى كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ.Then each went to his own home.
