2 GLT كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ فِي ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ: «هَا أَنَا أُرْسِلُ أَمَامَ وَجْهِكَ مَلَاكِي، ٱلَّذِي يُهَيِّئُ طَرِيقَكَ قُدَّامَكَ. BSB BSB: As it is written in Isaiah the prophet: “Behold, I will send My messenger ahead of You, who will prepare Your way.”
3 GLT صَوْتُ صَارِخٍ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ: أَعِدُّوا طَرِيقَ ٱلرَّبِّ، ٱصْنَعُوا سُبُلَهُ مُسْتَقِيمَةً». BSB BSB: “A voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for Him.’”
4 GLT كَانَ يُوحَنَّا يُعَمِّدُ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ وَيَكْرِزُ بِمَعْمُودِيَّةِ ٱلتَّوْبَةِ لِمَغْفِرَةِ ٱلْخَطَايَا. BSB BSB: John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.
5 GLT وَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِ جَمِيعُ كُورَةِ ٱلْيَهُودِيَّةِ وَأَهْلُ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَٱعْتَمَدُوا جَمِيعُهُمْ مِنْهُ فِي نَهْرِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ، مُعْتَرِفِينَ بِخَطَايَاهُمْ. BSB BSB: People went out to him from all of Jerusalem and the countryside of Judea. Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River.
6 GLT وَكَانَ يُوحَنَّا يَلْبَسُ وَبَرَ ٱلْإِبِلِ، وَمِنْطَقَةً مِنْ جِلْدٍ عَلَى حَقْوَيْهِ، وَيَأْكُلُ جَرَادًا وَعَسَلًا بَرِّيًّا. BSB BSB: John was clothed in camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey.
7 GLT وَكَانَ يَكْرِزُ قَائِلًا: «يَأْتِي بَعْدِي مَنْ هُوَ أَقْوَى مِنِّي، ٱلَّذِي لَسْتُ أَهْلًا أَنْ أَنْحَنِيَ وَأَحُلَّ سُيُورَ حِذَائِهِ. BSB BSB: And he proclaimed: “After me will come One more powerful than I, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie.
8 GLT أَنَا عَمَّدْتُكُمْ بِٱلْمَاءِ، وَأَمَّا هُوَ فَسَيُعَمِّدُكُمْ بِٱلرُّوحِ ٱلْقُدُسِ». BSB BSB: I baptize you with water, but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”
9 GLT وَفِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ جَاءَ يَسُوعُ مِنْ نَاصِرَةِ ٱلْجَلِيلِ وَٱعْتَمَدَ مِنْ يُوحَنَّا فِي ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ. BSB BSB: In those days Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
10 GLT وَلِلْوَقْتِ وَهُوَ صَاعِدٌ مِنَ ٱلْمَاءِ رَأَى ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ قَدِ ٱنْشَقَّتْ، وَٱلرُّوحَ مِثْلَ حَمَامَةٍ نَازِلًا عَلَيْهِ. BSB BSB: As soon as Jesus came up out of the water, He saw the heavens breaking open and the Spirit descending on Him like a dove.
11 GLT وَكَانَ صَوْتٌ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ: «أَنْتَ ٱبْنِي ٱلْحَبِيبُ ٱلَّذِي بِهِ سُرِرْتُ». BSB BSB: And a voice came from heaven: “You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased.”
12 GLT وَلِلْوَقْتِ أَخْرَجَهُ ٱلرُّوحُ إِلَى ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ، BSB BSB: At once the Spirit drove Jesus into the wilderness,
13 GLT وَكَانَ هُنَاكَ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا يُجَرَّبُ مِنَ ٱلشَّيْطَانِ. وَكَانَ مَعَ ٱلْوُحُوشِ. وَصَارَتِ ٱلْمَلَائِكَةُ تَخْدِمُهُ. BSB BSB: and He was there for forty days, being tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals, and the angels ministered to Him.
15 GLT وَيَقُولُ: «قَدْ كَمَلَ ٱلزَّمَانُ وَٱقْتَرَبَ مَلَكُوتُ ٱللهِ، فَتُوبُوا وَآمِنُوا بِٱلْإِنْجِيلِ». BSB BSB: “The time is fulfilled,” He said, “and the kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe in the gospel!”
16 GLT وَفِيمَا هُوَ يَمْشِي عِنْدَ بَحْرِ ٱلْجَلِيلِ أَبْصَرَ سِمْعَانَ وَأَنْدَرَاوُسَ أَخَاهُ يُلْقِيَانِ شَبَكَةً فِي ٱلْبَحْرِ، فَإِنَّهُمَا كَانَا صَيَّادَيْنِ. BSB BSB: As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.
17 GLT فَقَالَ لَهُمَا يَسُوعُ: «هَلُمَّ وَرَائِي فَأَجْعَلُكُمَا تَصِيرَانِ صَيَّادَيِ ٱلنَّاسِ». BSB BSB: “Come, follow Me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.”
18 GLT فَلِلْوَقْتِ تَرَكَا شِبَاكَهُمَا وَتَبِعَاهُ. BSB BSB: And at once they left their nets and followed Him.
20 GLT فَدَعَاهُمَا لِلْوَقْتِ. فَتَرَكَا أَبَاهُمَا زَبْدِي فِي ٱلسَّفِينَةِ مَعَ ٱلْأَجْرَى وَذَهَبَا وَرَاءَهُ. BSB BSB: Immediately Jesus called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men and followed Him.
22 GLT فَبُهِتُوا مِنْ تَعْلِيمِهِ لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ يُعَلِّمُهُمْ كَمَنْ لَهُ سُلْطَانٌ وَلَيْسَ كَٱلْكَتَبَةِ. BSB BSB: The people were astonished at His teaching, because He taught as one who had authority, and not as the scribes.
23 GLT وَكَانَ فِي مَجْمَعِهِمْ رَجُلٌ بِهِ رُوحٌ نَجِسٌ، فَصَرَخَ BSB BSB: Suddenly a man with an unclean spirit cried out in the synagogue:
24 GLT قَائِلًا: «آهِ! مَا لَنَا وَلَكَ يَا يَسُوعُ ٱلنَّاصِرِيُّ؟ أَتَيْتَ لِتُهْلِكَنَا! أَنَا أَعْرِفُكَ مَنْ أَنْتَ: قُدُّوسُ ٱللهِ!». BSB BSB: “What do You want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are—the Holy One of God!”
25 GLT فَٱنْتَهَرَهُ يَسُوعُ قَائِلًا: «ٱخْرَسْ! وَٱخْرُجْ مِنْهُ!». BSB BSB: But Jesus rebuked the spirit. “Be silent!” He said. “Come out of him!”
26 GLT فَصَرَعَهُ ٱلرُّوحُ ٱلنَّجِسُ وَصَاحَ بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ وَخَرَجَ مِنْهُ. BSB BSB: At this, the unclean spirit threw the man into convulsions and came out with a loud shriek.
27 GLT فَتَحَيَّرُوا كُلُّهُمْ، حَتَّى سَأَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا قَائِلِينَ: «مَا هَذَا؟ مَا هُوَ هَذَا ٱلتَّعْلِيمُ ٱلْجَدِيدُ؟ لِأَنَّهُ بِسُلْطَانٍ يَأْمُرُ حَتَّى ٱلْأَرْوَاحَ ٱلنَّجِسَةَ فَتُطِيعُهُ!». BSB BSB: All the people were amazed and began to ask one another, “What is this? A new teaching with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him!”
28 GLT فَخَرَجَ خَبَرُهُ لِلْوَقْتِ فِي كُلِّ ٱلْكُورَةِ ٱلْمُحِيطَةِ بِٱلْجَلِيلِ. BSB BSB: And the news about Jesus spread quickly through the whole region of Galilee.
30 GLT وَكَانَتْ حَمَاةُ سِمْعَانَ مُضْطَجِعَةً مَحْمُومَةً، فَلِلْوَقْتِ أَخْبَرُوهُ عَنْهَا. BSB BSB: Simon’s mother-in-law was sick in bed with a fever, and they promptly told Jesus about her.
31 GLT فَتَقَدَّمَ وَأَقَامَهَا مَاسِكًا بِيَدِهَا، فَتَرَكَتْهَا ٱلْحُمَّى حَالًا وَصَارَتْ تَخْدِمُهُمْ. BSB BSB: So He went to her, took her by the hand, and helped her up. The fever left her, and she began to serve them.
33 GLT وَكَانَتِ ٱلْمَدِينَةُ كُلُّهَا مُجْتَمِعَةً عَلَى ٱلْبَابِ. BSB BSB: and the whole town gathered at the door.
34 GLT فَشَفَى كَثِيرِينَ كَانُوا مَرْضَى بِأَمْرَاضٍ مُخْتَلِفَةٍ، وَأَخْرَجَ شَيَاطِينَ كَثِيرَةً، وَلَمْ يَدَعِ ٱلشَّيَاطِينَ يَتَكَلَّمُونَ لِأَنَّهُمْ عَرَفُوهُ. BSB BSB: And He healed many who were ill with various diseases and drove out many demons. But He would not allow the demons to speak, because they knew who He was.
35 GLT وَفِي ٱلصُّبْحِ بَاكِرًا جِدًّا قَامَ وَخَرَجَ وَمَضَى إِلَى مَوْضِعٍ خَلَاءٍ، وَكَانَ يُصَلِّي هُنَاكَ، BSB BSB: Early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up and went out to a solitary place to pray.
36 GLT فَتَبِعَهُ سِمْعَانُ وَٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُ. BSB BSB: Simon and his companions went to look for Him,
37 GLT وَلَمَّا وَجَدُوهُ قَالُوا لَهُ: «إِنَّ ٱلْجَمِيعَ يَطْلُبُونَكَ». BSB BSB: and when they found Him, they said, “Everyone is looking for You!”
38 GLT فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «لِنَذْهَبْ إِلَى ٱلْقُرَى ٱلْمُجَاوِرَةِ لِأَكْرِزَ هُنَاكَ أَيْضًا، لِأَنِّي لِهَذَا خَرَجْتُ». BSB BSB: But Jesus answered, “Let us go on to the neighboring towns so I can preach there as well, for that is why I have come.”
39 GLT فَكَانَ يَكْرِزُ فِي مَجَامِعِهِمْ فِي كُلِّ ٱلْجَلِيلِ وَيُخْرِجُ ٱلشَّيَاطِينَ. BSB BSB: So He went throughout Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and driving out demons.
41 GLT فَتَحَنَّنَ يَسُوعُ وَمَدَّ يَدَهُ وَلَمَسَهُ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «أُرِيدُ، فَٱطْهُرْ!». BSB BSB: Moved with compassion, Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!”
42 GLT فَلِلْوَقْتِ وَهُوَ يَتَكَلَّمُ ذَهَبَ عَنْهُ ٱلْبَرَصُ وَطَهَرَ. BSB BSB: And immediately the leprosy left him, and the man was cleansed.
43 GLT فَٱنْتَهَرَهُ وَأَرْسَلَهُ لِلْوَقْتِ، BSB BSB: Jesus promptly sent him away with a stern warning:
44 GLT وَقَالَ لَهُ: «ٱنْظُرْ، لَا تَقُلْ لِأَحَدٍ شَيْئًا، بَلِ ٱذْهَبْ أَرِ نَفْسَكَ لِلْكَاهِنِ وَقَدِّمْ عَنْ تَطْهِيرِكَ مَا أَمَرَ بِهِ مُوسَى، شَهَادَةً لَهُمْ». BSB BSB: “See that you don’t tell anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and present the offering Moses prescribed for your cleansing, as a testimony to them.”
45 GLT وَأَمَّا هُوَ فَخَرَجَ وَٱبْتَدَأَ يُنَادِي كَثِيرًا وَيُذِيعُ ٱلْخَبَرَ، حَتَّى لَمْ يَعُدْ يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ مَدِينَةً ظَاهِرًا، بَلْ كَانَ خَارِجًا فِي مَوَاضِعَ خَالِيَةٍ، وَكَانُوا يَأْتُونَ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ كُلِّ نَاحِيَةٍ. BSB BSB: But the man went out and openly began to proclaim and spread the news. Consequently, Jesus could no longer enter a town in plain view, but He stayed out in solitary places. Yet people came to Him from every quarter.
