1 GLT وَكَانَ يَسُوعُ يَتَرَدَّدُ بَعْدَ هَذَا فِي ٱلْجَلِيلِ، لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يُرِدْ أَنْ يَتَرَدَّدَ فِي ٱلْيَهُودِيَّةِ لِأَنَّ ٱلْيَهُودَ كَانُوا يَطْلُبُونَ أَنْ يَقْتُلُوهُ. BSB BSB: After this, Jesus traveled throughout Galilee. He did not want to travel in Judea, because the Jews there were trying to kill Him.
2 GLT وَكَانَ عِيدُ ٱلْيَهُودِ، عِيدُ ٱلْمَظَالِّ، قَرِيبًا. BSB BSB: However, the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles was near.
3 GLT فَقَالَ لَهُ إِخْوَتُهُ: «ٱنْتَقِلْ مِنْ هُنَا وَٱذْهَبْ إِلَى ٱلْيَهُودِيَّةِ، لِكَيْ يَرَى تَلَامِيذُكَ أَيْضًا أَعْمَا لَكَ ٱلَّتِي تَعْمَلُ، BSB BSB: So Jesus’ brothers said to Him, “Leave here and go to Judea, so that Your disciples there may see the works You are doing.
4 GLT لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ يَعْمَلُ شَيْئًا فِي ٱلْخَفَاءِ وَهُوَ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَكُونَ عَلَانِيَةً. إِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْمَلُ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَشْيَاءَ فَأَظْهِرْ نَفْسَكَ لِلْعَالَمِ». BSB BSB: For no one who wants to be known publicly acts in secret. Since You are doing these things, show Yourself to the world.”
6 GLT فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «إِنَّ وَقْتِي لَمْ يَحْضُرْ بَعْدُ، وَأَمَّا وَقْتُكُمْ فَفِي كُلِّ حِينٍ حَاضِرٌ. BSB BSB: Therefore Jesus told them, “Although your time is always at hand, My time has not yet come.
7 GLT لَا يَقْدِرُ ٱلْعَالَمُ أَنْ يُبْغِضَكُمْ، وَلَكِنَّهُ يُبْغِضُنِي أَنَا، لِأَنِّي أَشْهَدُ عَلَيْهِ أَنَّ أَعْمَالَهُ شِرِّيرَةٌ. BSB BSB: The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me, because I testify that its works are evil.
8 GLT اِصْعَدُوا أَنْتُمْ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْعِيدِ. أَنَا لَسْتُ أَصْعَدُ بَعْدُ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْعِيدِ، لِأَنَّ وَقْتِي لَمْ يُكْمَلْ بَعْدُ». BSB BSB: Go up to the feast on your own. I am not going up to this feast, because My time has not yet come.”
9 GLT قَالَ لَهُمْ هَذَا وَمَكَثَ فِي ٱلْجَلِيلِ. BSB BSB: Having said this, Jesus remained in Galilee.
10 GLT وَلَمَّا كَانَ إِخْوَتُهُ قَدْ صَعِدُوا، حِينَئِذٍ صَعِدَ هُوَ أَيْضًا إِلَى ٱلْعِيدِ، لَا ظَاهِرًا بَلْ كَأَنَّهُ فِي ٱلْخَفَاءِ. BSB BSB: But after His brothers had gone up to the feast, He also went—not publicly, but in secret.
11 GLT فَكَانَ ٱلْيَهُودُ يَطْلُبُونَهُ فِي ٱلْعِيدِ، وَيَقُولُونَ: «أَيْنَ ذَاكَ؟». BSB BSB: So the Jews were looking for Him at the feast and asking, “Where is He?”
12 GLT وَكَانَ فِي ٱلْجُمُوعِ مُنَاجَاةٌ كَثِيرَةٌ مِنْ نَحْوِهِ. بَعْضُهُمْ يَقُولُونَ: «إِنَّهُ صَالِحٌ». وَآخَرُونَ يَقُولُونَ: «لَا، بَلْ يُضِلُّ ٱلشَّعْبَ». BSB BSB: Many in the crowds were whispering about Him. Some said, “He is a good man.” But others replied, “No, He deceives the people.”
13 GLT وَلَكِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ أَحَدٌ يَتَكَلَّمُ عَنْهُ جِهَارًا لِسَبَبِ ٱلْخَوْفِ مِنَ ٱلْيَهُودِ. BSB BSB: Yet no one would speak publicly about Him for fear of the Jews.
14 GLT وَلَمَّا كَانَ ٱلْعِيدُ قَدِ ٱنْتَصَفَ، صَعِدَ يَسُوعُ إِلَى ٱلْهَيْكَلِ، وَكَانَ يُعَلِّمُ. BSB BSB: About halfway through the feast, Jesus went up to the temple courts and began to teach.
16 GLT أَجَابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ: «تَعْلِيمِي لَيْسَ لِي بَلْ لِلَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي. BSB BSB: “My teaching is not My own,” Jesus replied. “It comes from Him who sent Me.
17 GLT إِنْ شَاءَ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يَعْمَلَ مَشِيئَتَهُ يَعْرِفُ ٱلتَّعْلِيمَ، هَلْ هُوَ مِنَ ٱللهِ، أَمْ أَتَكَلَّمُ أَنَا مِنْ نَفْسِي. BSB BSB: If anyone desires to do His will, he will know whether My teaching is from God or whether I speak on My own.
18 GLT مَنْ يَتَكَلَّمُ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ يَطْلُبُ مَجْدَ نَفْسِهِ، وَأَمَّا مَنْ يَطْلُبُ مَجْدَ ٱلَّذِي أَرْسَلَهُ فَهُوَ صَادِقٌ وَلَيْسَ فِيهِ ظُلْمٌ. BSB BSB: 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.
19 GLT أَلَيْسَ مُوسَى قَدْ أَعْطَاكُمُ ٱلنَّامُوسَ؟ وَلَيْسَ أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ يَعْمَلُ ٱلنَّامُوسَ! لِمَاذَا تَطْلُبُونَ أَنْ تَقْتُلُونِي؟» BSB BSB: Has not Moses given you the law? Yet not one of you keeps it. Why are you trying to kill Me?”
20 GLT أَجَابَ ٱلْجَمْعُ وَقَالُوا: «بِكَ شَيْطَانٌ. مَنْ يَطْلُبُ أَنْ يَقْتُلَكَ؟». BSB BSB: “You have a demon,” the crowd replied. “Who is trying to kill You?”
21 GLT أَجَابَ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «عَمَلًا وَاحِدًا عَمِلْتُ فَتَتَعَجَّبُونَ جَمِيعًا. BSB BSB: Jesus answered them, “I did one miracle, and you are all amazed.
22 GLT لِهَذَا أَعْطَاكُمْ مُوسَى ٱلْخِتَانَ، لَيْسَ أَنَّهُ مِنْ مُوسَى، بَلْ مِنَ ٱلْآبَاءِ. فَفِي ٱلسَّبْتِ تَخْتِنُونَ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ. BSB BSB: But because Moses gave you circumcision, you circumcise a boy on the Sabbath (not that it is from Moses, but from the patriarchs.)
23 GLT فَإِنْ كَانَ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ يَقْبَلُ ٱلْخِتَانَ فِي ٱلسَّبْتِ، لِئَلَّا يُنْقَضَ نَامُوسُ مُوسَى، أَفَتَسْخَطُونَ عَلَيَّ لِأَنِّي شَفَيْتُ إِنْسَانًا كُلَّهُ فِي ٱلسَّبْتِ؟ BSB BSB: 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?
24 GLT لَا تَحْكُمُوا حَسَبَ ٱلظَّاهِرِ بَلِ ٱحْكُمُوا حُكْمًا عَادِلًا». BSB BSB: Stop judging by outward appearances, and start judging justly.”
25 GLT فَقَالَ قَوْمٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ أُورُشَلِيمَ: «أَلَيْسَ هَذَا هُوَ ٱلَّذِي يَطْلُبُونَ أَنْ يَقْتُلُوهُ؟ BSB BSB: Then some of the people of Jerusalem began to say, “Isn’t this the man they are trying to kill?
26 GLT وَهَا هُوَ يَتَكَلَّمُ جِهَارًا وَلَا يَقُولُونَ لَهُ شَيْئًا! أَلَعَلَّ ٱلرُّؤَسَاءَ عَرَفُوا يَقِينًا أَنَّ هَذَا هُوَ ٱلْمَسِيحُ حَقًّا؟ BSB BSB: Yet here He is, speaking publicly, and they are not saying anything to Him. Have the rulers truly recognized that this is the Christ?
27 GLT وَلَكِنَّ هَذَا نَعْلَمُ مِنْ أَيْنَ هُوَ، وَأَمَّا ٱلْمَسِيحُ فَمَتَى جَاءَ لَا يَعْرِفُ أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَيْنَ هُوَ». BSB BSB: But we know where this man is from. When the Christ comes, no one will know where He is from.”
28 GLT فَنَادَى يَسُوعُ وَهُوَ يُعَلِّمُ فِي ٱلْهَيْكَلِ قَائِلًا: «تَعْرِفُونَنِي وَتَعْرِفُونَ مِنْ أَيْنَ أَنَا، وَمِنْ نَفْسِي لَمْ آتِ، بَلِ ٱلَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي هُوَ حَقٌّ، ٱلَّذِي أَنْتُمْ لَسْتُمْ تَعْرِفُونَهُ. BSB BSB: 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,
29 GLT أَنَا أَعْرِفُهُ لِأَنِّي مِنْهُ، وَهُوَ أَرْسَلَنِي». BSB BSB: but I know Him, because I am from Him and He sent Me.”
30 GLT فَطَلَبُوا أَنْ يُمْسِكُوهُ، وَلَمْ يُلْقِ أَحَدٌ يَدًا عَلَيْهِ، لِأَنَّ سَاعَتَهُ لَمْ تَكُنْ قَدْ جَاءَتْ بَعْدُ. BSB BSB: So they tried to seize Him, but no one laid a hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come.
31 GLT فَآمَنَ بِهِ كَثِيرُونَ مِنَ ٱلْجَمْعِ، وَقَالُوا: «أَلَعَلَّ ٱلْمَسِيحَ مَتَى جَاءَ يَعْمَلُ آيَاتٍ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ هَذِهِ ٱلَّتِي عَمِلَهَا هَذَا؟». BSB BSB: Many in the crowd, however, believed in Him and said, “When the Christ comes, will He perform more signs than this man?”
32 GLT سَمِعَ ٱلْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ ٱلْجَمْعَ يَتَنَاجَوْنَ بِهَذَا مِنْ نَحْوِهِ، فَأَرْسَلَ ٱلْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ وَرُؤَسَاءُ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ خُدَّامًا لِيُمْسِكُوهُ. BSB BSB: When the Pharisees heard the crowd whispering these things about Jesus, they and the chief priests sent officers to arrest Him.
33 GLT فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «أَنَا مَعَكُمْ زَمَانًا يَسِيرًا بَعْدُ، ثُمَّ أَمْضِي إِلَى ٱلَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي. BSB BSB: So Jesus said, “I am with you only a little while longer, and then I am going to the One who sent Me.
34 GLT سَتَطْلُبُونَنِي وَلَا تَجِدُونَنِي، وَحَيْثُ أَكُونُ أَنَا لَا تَقْدِرُونَ أَنْتُمْ أَنْ تَأْتُوا». BSB BSB: You will look for Me, but you will not find Me; and where I am, you cannot come.”
35 GLT فَقَالَ ٱلْيَهُودُ فِيمَا بَيْنَهُمْ: «إِلَى أَيْنَ هَذَا مُزْمِعٌ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ حَتَّى لَا نَجِدَهُ نَحْنُ؟ أَلَعَلَّهُ مُزْمِعٌ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ إِلَى شَتَاتِ ٱلْيُونَانِيِّينَ وَيُعَلِّمَ ٱلْيُونَانِيِّينَ؟ BSB BSB: 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?
36 GLT مَا هَذَا ٱلْقَوْلُ ٱلَّذِي قَالَ: سَتَطْلُبُونَنِي وَلَا تَجِدُونَنِي، وَحَيْثُ أَكُونُ أَنَا لَا تَقْدِرُونَ أَنْتُمْ أَنْ تَأْتُوا؟». BSB BSB: What does He mean by saying, ‘You will look for Me, but you will not find Me,’ and, ‘Where I am, you cannot come’?”
37 GLT وَفِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْأَخِيرِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ مِنَ ٱلْعِيدِ وَقَفَ يَسُوعُ وَنَادَى قَائِلًا: «إِنْ عَطِشَ أَحَدٌ فَلْيُقْبِلْ إِلَيَّ وَيَشْرَبْ. BSB BSB: 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.
38 GLT مَنْ آمَنَ بِي، كَمَا قَالَ ٱلْكِتَابُ، تَجْرِي مِنْ بَطْنِهِ أَنْهَارُ مَاءٍ حَيٍّ». BSB BSB: Whoever believes in Me, as the Scripture has said: ‘Streams of living water will flow from within him.’”
39 GLT قَالَ 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. BSB BSB: 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.
40 GLT فَكَثِيرُونَ مِنَ ٱلْجَمْعِ لَمَّا سَمِعُوا هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامَ قَالُوا: «هَذَا بِٱلْحَقِيقَةِ هُوَ ٱلنَّبِيُّ». BSB BSB: On hearing these words, some of the people said, “This is truly the Prophet.”
41 GLT آخَرُونَ قَالُوا: «هَذَا هُوَ ٱلْمَسِيحُ!». وَآخَرُونَ قَالُوا: «أَلَعَلَّ ٱلْمَسِيحَ مِنَ ٱلْجَلِيلِ يَأْتِي؟ BSB BSB: Others declared, “This is the Christ.” But still others asked, “How can the Christ come from Galilee?
42 GLT أَلَمْ يَقُلِ ٱلْكِتَابُ إِنَّهُ مِنْ نَسْلِ دَاوُدَ، وَمِنْ بَيْتِ لَحْمٍ، ٱلْقَرْيَةِ ٱلَّتِي كَانَ دَاوُدُ فِيهَا، يَأْتِي ٱلْمَسِيحُ؟». BSB BSB: Doesn’t the Scripture say that the Christ will come from the line of David and from Bethlehem, the village where David lived?”
43 GLT فَحَدَثَ ٱنْشِقَاقٌ فِي ٱلْجَمْعِ لِسَبَبِهِ. BSB BSB: So there was division in the crowd because of Jesus.
44 GLT وَكَانَ قَوْمٌ مِنْهُمْ يُرِيدُونَ أَنْ يُمْسِكُوهُ، وَلَكِنْ لَمْ يُلْقِ أَحَدٌ عَلَيْهِ ٱلْأَيَادِيَ. BSB BSB: Some of them wanted to seize Him, but no one laid a hand on Him.
45 GLT فَجَاءَ ٱلْخُدَّامُ إِلَى رُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَٱلْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ. فَقَالَ هَؤُلَاءِ لَهُمْ: «لِمَاذَا لَمْ تَأْتُوا بِهِ؟». BSB BSB: Then the officers returned to the chief priests and Pharisees, who asked them, “Why didn’t you bring Him in?”
46 GLT أَجَابَ ٱلْخُدَّامُ: «لَمْ يَتَكَلَّمْ قَطُّ إِنْسَانٌ هَكَذَا مِثْلَ هَذَا ٱلْإِنْسَانِ!». BSB BSB: “Never has anyone spoken like this man!” the officers answered.
47 GLT فَأَجَابَهُمُ ٱلْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ: «أَلَعَلَّكُمْ أَنْتُمْ أَيْضًا قَدْ ضَلَلْتُمْ؟ BSB BSB: “Have you also been deceived?” replied the Pharisees.
48 GLT أَلَعَلَّ أَحَدًا مِنَ ٱلرُّؤَسَاءِ أَوْ مِنَ ٱلْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ آمَنَ بِهِ؟ BSB BSB: “Have any of the rulers or Pharisees believed in Him?
49 GLT وَلَكِنَّ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبَ ٱلَّذِي لَا يَفْهَمُ ٱلنَّامُوسَ هُوَ مَلْعُونٌ». BSB BSB: But this crowd that does not know the law—they are under a curse.”
50 GLT قَالَ لَهُمْ نِيقُودِيمُوسُ، ٱلَّذِي جَاءَ إِلَيْهِ لَيْلًا، وَهُوَ وَاحِدٌ مِنْهُمْ: BSB BSB: Nicodemus, who had gone to Jesus earlier and who himself was one of them, asked,
51 GLT «أَلَعَلَّ نَامُوسَنَا يَدِينُ إِنْسَانًا لَمْ يَسْمَعْ مِنْهُ أَوَّلًا وَيَعْرِفْ مَاذَا فَعَلَ؟». BSB BSB: “Does our law convict a man without first hearing from him to determine what he has done?”
52 GLT أَجَابُوا وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «أَلَعَلَّكَ أَنْتَ أَيْضًا مِنَ ٱلْجَلِيلِ؟ فَتِّشْ وَٱنْظُرْ! إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَقُمْ نَبِيٌّ مِنَ ٱلْجَلِيلِ». BSB BSB: “Aren’t you also from Galilee?” they replied. “Look into it, and you will see that no prophet comes out of Galilee.”
