Vangelo secondo Luca (لوقا) 5

SMITH VAN DYKE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 واذ كان الجمع يزدحم عليه ليسمع كلمة الله كان واقفا عند بحيرة جنيسارت.	1 Now it happened that he was standing one day by the Lake of Gennesaret, with the crowd pressinground him listening to the word of God,
2 فرأى سفينتين واقفتين عند البحيرة والصيادون قد خرجوا منهما وغسلوا الشباك.	2 when he caught sight of two boats at the water's edge. The fishermen had got out of them and werewashing their nets.
3 فدخل احدى السفينتين التي كانت لسمعان وسأله ان يبعد قليلا عن البر. ثم جلس وصار يعلّم الجموع من السفينة.	3 He got into one of the boats -- it was Simon's -- and asked him to put out a little from the shore. Then hesat down and taught the crowds from the boat.
4 ولما فرغ من الكلام قال لسمعان ابعد الى العمق وألقوا شباككم للصيد.	4 When he had finished speaking he said to Simon, 'Put out into deep water and pay out your nets for acatch.'
5 فاجاب سمعان وقال له يا معلّم قد تعبنا الليل كله ولم نأخذ شيئا ولكن على كلمتك القي الشبكة.	5 Simon replied, 'Master, we worked hard al night long and caught nothing, but if you say so, I wil payout the nets.'
6 ولما فعلوا ذلك امسكوا سمكا كثيرا جدا فصارت شبكتهم تتخرق.	6 And when they had done this they netted such a huge number of fish that their nets began to tear,
7 فاشاروا الى شركائهم الذين في السفينة الاخرى ان يأتوا ويساعدوهم. فأتوا وملأوا السفينتين حتى اخذتا في الغرق.	7 so they signal ed to their companions in the other boat to come and help them; when these came, theyfilled both boats to sinking point.
8 فلما رأى سمعان بطرس ذلك خرّ عند ركبتيّ يسوع قائلا اخرج من سفينتي يا رب لاني رجل خاطئ.	8 When Simon Peter saw this he fel at the knees of Jesus saying, 'Leave me, Lord; I am a sinful man.'
9 اذ اعترته وجميع الذين معه دهشة على صيد السمك الذي اخذوه.	9 For he and all his companions were completely awestruck at the catch they had made;
10 وكذلك ايضا يعقوب ويوحنا ابنا زبدي اللذان كانا شريكي سمعان. فقال يسوع لسمعان لا تخف. من الآن تكون تصطاد الناس.	10 so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were Simon's partners. But Jesus said to Simon,'Do not be afraid; from now on it is people you wil be catching.'
11 ولما جاءوا بالسفينتين الى البر تركوا كل شيء وتبعوه	11 Then, bringing their boats back to land they left everything and fol owed him.
12 وكان في احدى المدن فاذا رجل مملوء برصا. فلما رأى يسوع خرّ على وجهه وطلب اليه قائلا يا سيد ان اردت تقدر ان تطهرني.	12 Now it happened that Jesus was in one of the towns when suddenly a man appeared, covered with askin-disease. Seeing Jesus he fel on his face and implored him saying, 'Sir, if you are wil ing you can cleanseme.'
13 فمدّ يده ولمسه قائلا اريد فاطهر. وللوقت ذهب عنه البرص.	13 He stretched out his hand, and touched him saying, 'I am wil ing. Be cleansed.' At once the skin-disease left him.
14 فاوصاه ان لا يقول لاحد بل امض وأر نفسك للكاهن وقدم عن تطهيرك كما أمر موسى شهادة لهم.	14 He ordered him to tell no one, 'But go and show yourself to the priest and make the offering for yourcleansing just as Moses prescribed, as evidence to them.'
15 فذاع الخبر عنه اكثر. فاجتمع جموع كثيرة لكي يسمعوا ويشفوا به من امراضهم.	15 But the news of him kept spreading, and large crowds would gather to hear him and to have theiril nesses cured,
16 واما هو فكان يعتزل في البراري ويصلّي	16 but he would go off to some deserted place and pray.
17 وفي احدى الايام كان يعلم وكان فريسيون ومعلمون للناموس جالسين وهم قد أتوا من كل قرية من الجليل واليهودية واورشليم. وكانت قوة الرب لشفائهم.	17 Now it happened that he was teaching one day, and Pharisees and teachers of the Law, who hadcome from every vil age in Galilee, from Judaea and from Jerusalem, were sitting there. And the power of theLord was there so that he should heal.
18 واذا برجال يحملون على فراش انسانا مفلوجا وكانوا يطلبون ان يدخلوا به ويضعوه امامه.	18 And now some men appeared, bringing on a bed a paralysed man whom they were trying to bring inand lay down in front of him.
19 ولما لم يجدوا من اين يدخلون به لسبب الجمع صعدوا على السطح ودلوه مع الفراش من بين الاجر الى الوسط قدام يسوع.	19 But as they could find no way of getting the man through the crowd, they went up onto the top of thehouse and lowered him and his stretcher down through the tiles into the middle of the gathering, in front ofJesus.
20 فلما رأى ايمانهم قال له ايها الانسان مغفورة لك خطاياك.	20 Seeing their faith he said, 'My friend, your sins are forgiven you.'
21 فابتدأ الكتبة والفريسيون يفكرون قائلين من هذا الذي يتكلم بتجاديف. من يقدر ان يغفر خطايا الا الله وحده.	21 The scribes and the Pharisees began to think this over. 'Who is this man, talking blasphemy? Who butGod alone can forgive sins?'
22 فشعر يسوع بافكارهم واجاب وقال لهم ماذا تفكرون في قلوبكم.	22 But Jesus, aware of their thoughts, made them this reply, 'What are these thoughts you have in yourhearts?
23 أيما ايسر ان يقال مغفورة لك خطاياك. أم ان يقال قم وامش.	23 Which of these is easier: to say, "Your sins are forgiven you," or to say, "Get up and walk"?
24 ولكن لكي تعلموا ان لابن الانسان سلطانا على الارض ان يغفر الخطايا قال للمفلوج لك اقول قم واحمل فراشك واذهب الى بيتك.	24 But to prove to you that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins,' -- he said to theparalysed man-'I order you: get up, and pick up your stretcher and go home.'
25 ففي الحال قام امامهم وحمل ما كان مضطجعا عليه ومضى الى بيته وهو يمجد الله.	25 And immediately before their very eyes he got up, picked up what he had been lying on and wenthome praising God.
26 فأخذت الجميع حيرة ومجدوا الله وامتلأوا خوفا قائلين اننا قد رأينا اليوم عجائب	26 They were all astounded and praised God and were fil ed with awe, saying, 'We have seen strangethings today.'
27 وبعد هذا خرج فنظر عشارا اسمه لاوي جالسا عند مكان الجباية. فقال له اتبعني.	27 When he went out after this, he noticed a tax collector, Levi by name, sitting at the tax office, and saidto him, 'Fol ow me.'
28 فترك كل شيء وقام وتبعه.	28 And leaving everything Levi got up and fol owed him.
29 وصنع له لاوي ضيافة كبيرة في بيته. والذين كانوا متكئين معهم كانوا جمعا كثيرا من عشارين وآخرين.	29 In his honour Levi held a great reception in his house, and with them at table was a large gathering oftax col ectors and others.
30 فتذمر كتبتهم والفريسيون على تلاميذه قائلين لماذا تاكلون وتشربون مع عشارين وخطاة.	30 The Pharisees and their scribes complained to his disciples and said, 'Why do you eat and drink withtax col ectors and sinners?'
31 فاجاب يسوع وقال لهم لا يحتاج الاصحاء الى طبيب بل المرضى.	31 Jesus said to them in reply, 'It is not those that are wel who need the doctor, but the sick.
32 لم آت لأدعو ابرارا بل خطاة الى التوبة	32 I have come to cal not the upright but sinners to repentance.'
33 وقالوا له لماذا يصوم تلاميذ يوحنا كثيرا ويقدمون طلبات وكذلك تلاميذ الفريسيين ايضا. واما تلاميذك فيأكلون ويشربون.	33 They then said to him, 'John's disciples are always fasting and saying prayers, and the disciples of thePharisees, too, but yours go on eating and drinking.'
34 فقال لهم أتقدرون ان تجعلوا بني العرس يصومون ما دام العريس معهم.	34 Jesus replied, 'Surely you cannot make the bridegroom's attendants fast while the bridegroom is stillwith them?
35 ولكن ستأتي ايام حين يرفع العريس عنهم فحينئذ يصومون في تلك الايام.	35 But the time wil come when the bridegroom is taken away from them; then, in those days, they wilfast.'
36 وقال لهم ايضا مثلا. ليس احد يضع رقعة من ثوب جديد على ثوب عتيق. وإلا فالجديد يشقّه والعتيق لا توافقه الرقعة التي من الجديد.	36 He also told them a parable, 'No one tears a piece from a new cloak to put it on an old cloak;otherwise, not only wil the new one be torn, but the piece taken from the new wil not match the old.
37 وليس احد يجعل خمرا جديدة في زقاق عتيقة لئلا تشق الخمر الجديدة الزقاق فهي تهرق والزقاق تتلف.	37 'And nobody puts new wine in old wineskins; otherwise, the new wine wil burst the skins and run towaste, and the skins wil be ruined.
38 بل يجعلون خمرا جديدة في زقاق جديدة فتحفظ جميعا.	38 No; new wine must be put in fresh skins.
39 وليس احد اذا شرب العتيق يريد للوقت الجديد لانه يقول العتيق اطيب	39 And nobody who has been drinking old wine wants new. "The old is good," he says.'
