Mark 7 (AVD) · Opened

1وَٱجْتَمَعَ إِلَيْهِ ٱلْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ وَقَوْمٌ مِنَ ٱلْكَتَبَةِ قَادِمِينَ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ.Then the Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem gathered around Jesus,

2وَلَمَّا رَأَوْا بَعْضًا مِنْ تَلَامِيذِهِ يَأْكُلُونَ خُبْزًا بِأَيْدٍ دَنِسَةٍ، أَيْ غَيْرِ مَغْسُولَةٍ، لَامُوا.and they saw some of His disciples eating with hands that were defiled—that is, unwashed.

3لِأَنَّ ٱلْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ وَكُلَّ ٱلْيَهُودِ إِنْ لَمْ يَغْسِلُوا أَيْدِيَهُمْ بِٱعْتِنَاءٍ، لَا يَأْكُلُونَ، مُتَمَسِّكِينَ بِتَقْلِيدِ ٱلشُّيُوخِ.Now in holding to the tradition of the elders, the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat until they wash their hands ceremonially.

4وَمِنَ ٱلسُّوقِ إِنْ لَمْ يَغْتَسِلُوا لَا يَأْكُلُونَ. وَأَشْيَاءُ أُخْرَى كَثِيرَةٌ تَسَلَّمُوهَا لِلتَّمَسُّكِ بِهَا، مِنْ غَسْلِ كُؤُوسٍ وَأَبَارِيقَ وَآنِيَةِ نُحَاسٍ وَأَسِرَّةٍ.And on returning from the market, they do not eat unless they wash. And there are many other traditions for them to observe, including the washing of cups, pitchers, kettles, and couches for dining.

5ثُمَّ سَأَلَهُ ٱلْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ وَٱلْكَتَبَةُ: «لِمَاذَا لَا يَسْلُكُ تَلَامِيذُكَ حَسَبَ تَقْلِيدِ ٱلشُّيُوخِ، بَلْ يَأْكُلُونَ خُبْزًا بِأَيْدٍ غَيْرِ مَغْسُولَةٍ؟».So the Pharisees and scribes questioned Jesus: “Why do Your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders? Instead, they eat with defiled hands.”

6فَأَجَابَ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «حَسَنًا تَنَبَّأَ إِشَعْيَاءُ عَنْكُمْ أَنْتُمُ ٱلْمُرَائِينَ! كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ: هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبُ يُكْرِمُنِي بِشَفَتَيْهِ، وَأَمَّا قَلْبُهُ فَمُبْتَعِدٌ عَنِّي بَعِيدًا،Jesus answered them, “Isaiah prophesied correctly about you hypocrites, as it is written: ‘These people honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me.

7وَبَاطِلًا يَعْبُدُونَنِي وَهُمْ يُعَلِّمُونَ تَعَالِيمَ هِيَ وَصَايَا ٱلنَّاسِ.They worship Me in vain; they teach as doctrine the precepts of men.’

8لِأَنَّكُمْ تَرَكْتُمْ وَصِيَّةَ ٱللهِ وَتَتَمَسَّكُونَ بِتَقْلِيدِ ٱلنَّاسِ: غَسْلَ ٱلْأَبَارِيقِ وَٱلْكُؤُوسِ، وَأُمُورًا أُخَرَ كَثِيرَةً مِثْلَ هَذِهِ تَفْعَلُونَ».You have disregarded the commandment of God to keep the tradition of men.”

9ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُمْ: «حَسَنًا! رَفَضْتُمْ وَصِيَّةَ ٱللهِ لِتَحْفَظُوا تَقْلِيدَكُمْ!He went on to say, “You neatly set aside the command of God to maintain your own tradition.

10لِأَنَّ مُوسَى قَالَ: أَكْرِمْ أَبَاكَ وَأُمَّكَ، وَمَنْ يَشْتُمُ أَبًا أَوْ أُمًّا فَلْيَمُتْ مَوْتًا.For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother’ and ‘Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.’

11وَأَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَتَقُولُونَ: إِنْ قَالَ إِنْسَانٌ لِأَبِيهِ أَوْ أُمِّهِ: قُرْبَانٌ، أَيْ هَدِيَّةٌ، هُوَ ٱلَّذِي تَنْتَفِعُ بِهِ مِنِّيBut you say that if a man says to his father or mother, ‘Whatever you would have received from me is Corban’ (that is, a gift devoted to God),

12فَلَا تَدَعُونَهُ فِي مَا بَعْدُ يَفْعَلُ شَيْئًا لِأَبِيهِ أَوْ أُمِّهِ.he is no longer permitted to do anything for his father or mother.

13مُبْطِلِينَ كَلَامَ ٱللهِ بِتَقْلِيدِكُمُ ٱلَّذِي سَلَّمْتُمُوهُ. وَأُمُورًا كَثِيرَةً مِثْلَ هَذِهِ تَفْعَلُونَ».Thus you nullify the word of God by the tradition you have handed down. And you do so in many such matters.”

14ثُمَّ دَعَا كُلَّ ٱلْجَمْعِ وَقَالَ لَهُمُ: «ٱسْمَعُوا مِنِّي كُلُّكُمْ وَٱفْهَمُوا.Once again Jesus called the crowd to Him and said, “All of you, listen to Me and understand:

15لَيْسَ شَيْءٌ مِنْ خَارِجِ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ إِذَا دَخَلَ فِيهِ يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يُنَجِّسَهُ، لَكِنَّ ٱلْأَشْيَاءَ ٱلَّتِي تَخْرُجُ مِنْهُ هِيَ ٱلَّتِي تُنَجِّسُ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ.Nothing that enters a man from the outside can defile him; but the things that come out of a man, these are what defile him.”

16إِنْ كَانَ لِأَحَدٍ أُذْنَانِ لِلسَّمْعِ، فَلْيَسْمَعْ».Not in the BSB

17وَلَمَّا دَخَلَ مِنْ عِنْدِ ٱلْجَمْعِ إِلَى ٱلْبَيْتِ، سَأَلَهُ تَلَامِيذُهُ عَنِ ٱلْمَثَلِ.After Jesus had left the crowd and gone into the house, His disciples inquired about the parable.

18فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَفَأَنْتُمْ أَيْضًا هَكَذَا غَيْرُ فَاهِمِينَ؟ أَمَا تَفْهَمُونَ أَنَّ كُلَّ مَا يَدْخُلُ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ مِنْ خَارِجٍ لَا يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يُنَجِّسَهُ،“Are you still so dull?” He asked. “Do you not understand? Nothing that enters a man from the outside can defile him,

19لِأَنَّهُ لَا يَدْخُلُ إِلَى قَلْبِهِ بَلْ إِلَى ٱلْجَوْفِ، ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ إِلَى ٱلْخَلَاءِ، وَذَلِكَ يُطَهِّرُ كُلَّ ٱلْأَطْعِمَةِ».because it does not enter his heart, but it goes into the stomach and then is eliminated.” (Thus all foods are clean.)

20ثُمَّ قَالَ: «إِنَّ ٱلَّذِي يَخْرُجُ مِنَ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ ذَلِكَ يُنَجِّسُ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ.He continued: “What comes out of a man, that is what defiles him.

21لِأَنَّهُ مِنَ ٱلدَّاخِلِ، مِنْ قُلُوبِ ٱلنَّاسِ، تَخْرُجُ ٱلْأَفْكَارُ ٱلشِّرِّيرَةُ: زِنًى، فِسْقٌ، قَتْلٌ،For from within the hearts of men come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery,

22سِرْقَةٌ، طَمَعٌ، خُبْثٌ، مَكْرٌ، عَهَارَةٌ، عَيْنٌ شِرِّيرَةٌ، تَجْدِيفٌ، كِبْرِيَاءُ، جَهْلٌ.greed, wickedness, deceit, debauchery, envy, slander, arrogance, and foolishness.

23جَمِيعُ هَذِهِ ٱلشُّرُورِ تَخْرُجُ مِنَ ٱلدَّاخِلِ وَتُنَجِّسُ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ».All these evils come from within, and these are what defile a man.”

24ثُمَّ قَامَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ وَمَضَى إِلَى تُخُومِ صُورَ وَصَيْدَاءَ، وَدَخَلَ بَيْتًا وَهُوَ يُرِيدُ أَنْ لَا يَعْلَمَ أَحَدٌ، فَلَمْ يَقْدِرْ أَنْ يَخْتَفِيَ،Jesus left that place and went to the region of Tyre. Not wanting anyone to know He was there, He entered a house, but was unable to escape their notice.

25لِأَنَّ ٱمْرَأَةً كَانَ بِٱبْنَتِهَا رُوحٌ نَجِسٌ سَمِعَتْ بِهِ، فَأَتَتْ وَخَرَّتْ عِنْدَ قَدَمَيْهِ.Instead, a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit soon heard about Jesus, and she came and fell at His feet.

26وَكَانَتْ ٱلٱمْرَأَةُ أُمَمِيَّةً، وَفِي جِنْسِهَا فِينِيقِيَّةً سُورِيَّةً. فَسَأَلَتْهُ أَنْ يُخْرِجَ ٱلشَّيْطَانَ مِنِ ٱبْنَتِهَا.Now she was a Greek woman of Syrophoenician origin, and she kept asking Jesus to drive the demon out of her daughter.

27وَأَمَّا يَسُوعُ فَقَالَ لَهَا: «دَعِي ٱلْبَنِينَ أَوَّلًا يَشْبَعُونَ، لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ حَسَنًا أَنْ يُؤْخَذَ خُبْزُ ٱلْبَنِينَ وَيُطْرَحَ لِلْكِلَابِ».“First let the children have their fill,” He said. “For it is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”

28فَأَجَابَتْ وَقَالَتْ لَهُ: «نَعَمْ، يَا سَيِّدُ! وَٱلْكِلَابُ أَيْضًا تَحْتَ ٱلْمَائِدَةِ تَأْكُلُ مِنْ فُتَاتِ ٱلْبَنِينَ!».“Yes, Lord,” she replied, “even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.”

29فَقَالَ لَهَا: «لِأَجْلِ هَذِهِ ٱلْكَلِمَةِ، ٱذْهَبِي. قَدْ خَرَجَ ٱلشَّيْطَانُ مِنِ ٱبْنَتِكِ».Then Jesus told her, “Because of this answer, you may go. The demon has left your daughter.”

30فَذَهَبَتْ إِلَى بَيْتِهَا وَوَجَدَتِ ٱلشَّيْطَانَ قَدْ خَرَجَ، وَٱلِٱبْنَةَ مَطْرُوحَةً عَلَى ٱلْفِرَاشِ.And she went home and found her child lying on the bed, and the demon was gone.

31ثُمَّ خَرَجَ أَيْضًا مِنْ تُخُومِ صُورَ وَصَيْدَاءَ، وَجَاءَ إِلَى بَحْرِ ٱلْجَلِيلِ فِي وَسْطِ حُدُودِ ٱلْمُدُنِ ٱلْعَشْرِ.Then Jesus left the region of Tyre and went through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee and into the region of the Decapolis.

32وَجَاءُوا إِلَيْهِ بِأَصَمَّ أَعْقَدَ، وَطَلَبُوا إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَيْهِ.Some people brought to Him a man who was deaf and hardly able to speak, and they begged Jesus to place His hand on him.

33فَأَخَذَهُ مِنْ بَيْنِ ٱلْجَمْعِ عَلَى نَاحِيَةٍ، وَوَضَعَ أَصَابِعَهُ فِي أُذُنَيْهِ وَتَفَلَ وَلَمَسَ لِسَانَهُ،So Jesus took him aside privately, away from the crowd, and put His fingers into the man’s ears. Then He spit and touched the man’s tongue.

34وَرَفَعَ نَظَرَهُ نَحْوَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، وَأَنَّ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «إِفَّثَا». أَيِ ٱنْفَتِحْ.And looking up to heaven, He sighed deeply and said to him, “Ephphatha!” (which means, “Be opened!”).

35وَلِلْوَقْتِ ٱنْفَتَحَتْ أُذْنَاهُ، وَٱنْحَلَّ رِبَاطُ لِسَانِهِ، وَتَكَلَّمَ مُسْتَقِيمًا.Immediately the man’s ears were opened and his tongue was released, and he began to speak plainly.

36فَأَوْصَاهُمْ أَنْ لَا يَقُولُوا لِأَحَدٍ. وَلَكِنْ عَلَى قَدْرِ مَا أَوْصَاهُمْ كَانُوا يُنَادُونَ أَكْثَرَ كَثِيرًا.Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone. But the more He ordered them, the more widely they proclaimed it.

37وَبُهِتُوا إِلَى ٱلْغَايَةِ قَائِلِينَ: «إِنَّهُ عَمِلَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ حَسَنًا! جَعَلَ ٱلصُّمَّ يَسْمَعُونَ وَٱلْخُرْسَ يَتَكَلَّمُونَ».The people were utterly astonished and said, “He has done all things well! He makes even the deaf hear and the mute speak!”
