Luke 8

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 Afterward he journeyed from one town and village to another, preaching and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. Accompanying him were the Twelve	1 وعلى اثر ذلك كان يسير في مدينة وقرية يكرز ويبشر بملكوت الله ومعه الاثنا عشر
2 and some women who had been cured of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary, called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,	2 وبعض النساء كنّ قد شفين من ارواح شريرة وامراض. مريم التي تدعى المجدلية التي خرج منها سبعة شياطين
3 Joanna, the wife of Herod's steward Chuza, Susanna, and many others who provided for them out of their resources.	3 ويونّا امرأة خوزي وكيل هيرودس وسوسنة وأخر كثيرات كنّ يخدمنه من اموالهنّ
4 When a large crowd gathered, with people from one town after another journeying to him, he spoke in a parable.	4 فلما اجتمع جمع كثير ايضا من الذين جاءوا اليه من كل مدينة قال بمثل
5 "A sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some seed fell on the path and was trampled, and the birds of the sky ate it up.	5 خرج الزارع ليزرع زرعه. وفيما هو يزرع سقط بعض على الطريق فانداس واكلته طيور السماء.
6 Some seed fell on rocky ground, and when it grew, it withered for lack of moisture.	6 وسقط آخر على الصخر فلما نبت جف لانه لم تكن له رطوبة.
7 Some seed fell among thorns, and the thorns grew with it and choked it.	7 وسقط آخر في وسط الشوك. فنبت معه الشوك وخنقه.
8 And some seed fell on good soil, and when it grew, it produced fruit a hundredfold." After saying this, he called out, "Whoever has ears to hear ought to hear."	8 وسقط آخر في الارض الصالحة فلما نبت صنع ثمرا مئة ضعف. قال هذا ونادى من له اذنان للسمع فليسمع
9 Then his disciples asked him what the meaning of this parable might be.	9 فسأله تلاميذه قائلين ما عسى ان يكون هذا المثل.
10 He answered, "Knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of God has been granted to you; but to the rest, they are made known through parables so that 'they may look but not see, and hear but not understand.'	10 فقال. لكم قد أعطي ان تعرفوا اسرار ملكوت الله. واما للباقين فبامثال حتى انهم مبصرين لا يبصرون وسامعين لا يفهمون.
11 "This is the meaning of the parable. The seed is the word of God.	11 وهذا هو المثل. الزرع هو كلام الله.
12 Those on the path are the ones who have heard, but the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts that they may not believe and be saved.	12 والذين على الطريق هم الذين يسمعون ثم يأتي ابليس وينزع الكلمة من قلوبهم لئلا يؤمنوا فيخلصوا.
13 Those on rocky ground are the ones who, when they hear, receive the word with joy, but they have no root; they believe only for a time and fall away in time of trial.	13 والذين على الصخر هم الذين متى سمعوا يقبلون الكلمة بفرح. وهؤلاء ليس لهم اصل فيؤمنون الى حين وفي وقت التجربة يرتدون.
14 As for the seed that fell among thorns, they are the ones who have heard, but as they go along, they are choked by the anxieties and riches and pleasures of life, and they fail to produce mature fruit.	14 والذي سقط بين الشوك هم الذين يسمعون ثم يذهبون فيختنقون من هموم الحياة وغناها ولذّاتها ولا ينضجون ثمرا.
15 But as for the seed that fell on rich soil, they are the ones who, when they have heard the word, embrace it with a generous and good heart, and bear fruit through perseverance.	15 والذي في الارض الجيدة هو الذين يسمعون الكلمة فيحفظونها في قلب جيد صالح ويثمرون بالصبر
16 "No one who lights a lamp conceals it with a vessel or sets it under a bed; rather, he places it on a lampstand so that those who enter may see the light.	16 وليس احد يوقد سراجا ويغطيه باناء او يضعه تحت سرير بل يضعه على منارة لينظر الداخلون النور.
17 For there is nothing hidden that will not become visible, and nothing secret that will not be known and come to light.	17 لانه ليس خفي لا يظهر ولا مكتوم لا يعلم ويعلن.
18 Take care, then, how you hear. To anyone who has, more will be given, and from the one who has not, even what he seems to have will be taken away."	18 فانظروا كيف تسمعون. لان من له سيعطى. ومن ليس له فالذي يظنه له يؤخذ منه
19 Then his mother and his brothers came to him but were unable to join him because of the crowd.	19 وجاء اليه امه واخوته. ولم يقدروا ان يصلوا اليه لسبب الجمع.
20 He was told, "Your mother and your brothers are standing outside and they wish to see you."	20 فاخبروه قائلين امك واخوتك واقفون خارجا يريدون ان يروك.
21 He said to them in reply, "My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and act on it."	21 فاجاب وقال لهم امي واخوتي هم الذين يسمعون كلمة الله ويعملون بها
22 One day he got into a boat with his disciples and said to them, "Let us cross to the other side of the lake." So they set sail,	22 وفي احد الايام دخل سفينة هو وتلاميذه. فقال لهم لنعبر الى عبر البحيرة. فاقلعوا.
23 and while they were sailing he fell asleep. A squall blew over the lake, and they were taking in water and were in danger.	23 وفيما هم سائرون نام. فنزل نوء ريح في البحيرة. وكانوا يمتلئون ماء وصاروا في خطر.
24 They came and woke him saying, "Master, master, we are perishing!" He awakened, rebuked the wind and the waves, and they subsided and there was a calm.	24 فتقدموا وايقظوه قائلين يا معلّم يا معلّم اننا نهلك. فقام وانتهر الريح وتموّج الماء فانتهيا وصار هدوء.
25 Then he asked them, "Where is your faith?" But they were filled with awe and amazed and said to one another, "Who then is this, who commands even the winds and the sea, and they obey him?"	25 ثم قال لهم اين ايمانكم. فخافوا وتعجبوا قائلين فيما بينهم من هو هذا. فانه يأمر الرياح ايضا والماء فتطيعه
26 Then they sailed to the territory of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee.	26 وساروا الى كورة الجدريين التي هي مقابل الجليل.
27 When he came ashore a man from the town who was possessed by demons met him. For a long time he had not worn clothes; he did not live in a house, but lived among the tombs.	27 ولما خرج الى الارض استقبله رجل من المدينة كان فيه شياطين منذ زمان طويل وكان لا يلبس ثوبا ولا يقيم في بيت بل في القبور.
28 When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before him; in a loud voice he shouted, "What have you to do with me, Jesus, son of the Most High God? I beg you, do not torment me!"	28 فلما رأى يسوع صرخ وخرّ له وقال بصوت عظيم ما لي ولك يا يسوع ابن الله العلي. اطلب منك ان لا تعذبني.
29 For he had ordered the unclean spirit to come out of the man. (It had taken hold of him many times, and he used to be bound with chains and shackles as a restraint, but he would break his bonds and be driven by the demon into deserted places.)	29 لانه امر الروح النجس ان يخرج من الانسان. لانه منذ زمان كثير كان يخطفه. وقد ربط بسلاسل وقيود محروسا. وكان يقطع الربط ويساق من الشيطان الى البراري.
30 Then Jesus asked him, "What is your name?" He replied, "Legion," because many demons had entered him.	30 فسأله يسوع قائلا ما اسمك. فقال لجئون. لان شياطين كثيرة دخلت فيه.
31 And they pleaded with him not to order them to depart to the abyss.	31 وطلب اليه ان لا يأمرهم بالذهاب الى الهاوية.
32 A herd of many swine was feeding there on the hillside, and they pleaded with him to allow them to enter those swine; and he let them.	32 وكان هناك قطيع خنازير كثيرة ترعى في الجبل. فطلبوا اليه ان يأذن لهم بالدخول فيها. فأذن لهم.
33 The demons came out of the man and entered the swine, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned.	33 فخرجت الشياطين من الانسان ودخلت في الخنازير. فاندفع القطيع من على الجرف الى البحيرة واختنق.
34 When the swineherds saw what had happened, they ran away and reported the incident in the town and throughout the countryside.	34 فلما رأى الرعاة ما كان هربوا وذهبوا واخبروا في المدينة وفي الضياع.
35 People came out to see what had happened and, when they approached Jesus, they discovered the man from whom the demons had come out sitting at his feet. He was clothed and in his right mind, and they were seized with fear.	35 فخرجوا ليروا ما جرى. وجاءوا الى يسوع فوجدوا الانسان الذي كانت الشياطين قد خرجت منه لابسا وعاقلا جالسا عند قدمي يسوع فخافوا.
36 Those who witnessed it told them how the possessed man had been saved.	36 فاخبرهم ايضا الذين رأوا كيف خلص المجنون.
37 The entire population of the region of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to leave them because they were seized with great fear. So he got into a boat and returned.	37 فطلب اليه كل جمهور كورة الجدريين ان يذهب عنهم. لانه اعتراهم خوف عظيم. فدخل السفينة ورجع.
38 The man from whom the demons had come out begged to remain with him, but he sent him away, saying,	38 اما الرجل الذي خرجت منه الشياطين فطلب اليه ان يكون معه ولكن يسوع صرفه قائلا
39 "Return home and recount what God has done for you." The man went off and proclaimed throughout the whole town what Jesus had done for him.	39 ارجع الى بيتك وحدث بكم صنع الله بك. فمضى وهو ينادي في المدينة كلها بكم صنع به يسوع
40 When Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed him, for they were all waiting for him.	40 ولما رجع يسوع قبله الجمع لانهم كانوا جميعهم ينتظرونه.
41 And a man named Jairus, an official of the synagogue, came forward. He fell at the feet of Jesus and begged him to come to his house,	41 واذا رجل اسمه يايروس قد جاء. وكان رئيس المجمع. فوقع عند قدمي يسوع وطلب اليه ان يدخل بيته.
42 because he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. As he went, the crowds almost crushed him.	42 لانه كان له بنت وحيدة لها نحو اثنتي عشرة سنة وكانت في حال الموت. ففيما هو منطلق زحمته الجموع
43 And a woman afflicted with hemorrhages for twelve years, who (had spent her whole livelihood on doctors and) was unable to be cured by anyone,	43 وامرأة بنزف دم منذ اثنتي عشرة سنة وقد انفقت كل معيشتها للاطباء ولم تقدر ان تشفى من احد
44 came up behind him and touched the tassel on his cloak. Immediately her bleeding stopped.	44 جاءت من ورائه ولمست هدب ثوبه. ففي الحال وقف نزف دمها.
45 Jesus then asked, "Who touched me?" While all were denying it, Peter said, "Master, the crowds are pushing and pressing in upon you."	45 فقال يسوع من الذي لمسني. واذ كان الجميع ينكرون قال بطرس والذين معه يا معلّم الجموع يضيّقون عليك ويزحمونك وتقول من الذي لمسني.
46 But Jesus said, "Someone has touched me; for I know that power has gone out from me."	46 فقال يسوع قد لمسني واحد لاني علمت ان قوة قد خرجت مني.
47 When the woman realized that she had not escaped notice, she came forward trembling. Falling down before him, she explained in the presence of all the people why she had touched him and how she had been healed immediately.	47 فلما رأت المرأة انها لم تختف جاءت مرتعدة وخرّت له واخبرته قدام جميع الشعب لاي سبب لمسته وكيف برئت في الحال.
48 He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has saved you; go in peace."	48 فقال لها ثقي يا ابنة. ايمانك قد شفاك. اذهبي بسلام
49 While he was still speaking, someone from the synagogue official's house arrived and said, "Your daughter is dead; do not trouble the teacher any longer."	49 وبينما هو يتكلم جاء واحد من دار رئيس المجمع قائلا له قد ماتت ابنتك. لا تتعب المعلّم.
50 On hearing this, Jesus answered him, "Do not be afraid; just have faith and she will be saved."	50 فسمع يسوع واجابه قائلا لا تخف. آمن فقط فهي تشفى.
51 When he arrived at the house he allowed no one to enter with him except Peter and John and James, and the child's father and mother.	51 فلما جاء الى البيت لم يدع احدا يدخل الا بطرس ويعقوب ويوحنا وابا الصبيه وامها.
52 All were weeping and mourning for her, when he said, "Do not weep any longer, for she is not dead, but sleeping."	52 وكان الجميع يبكون عليها ويلطمون. فقال لا تبكوا. لم تمت لكنها نائمة.
53 And they ridiculed him, because they knew that she was dead.	53 فضحكوا عليه عارفين انها ماتت.
54 But he took her by the hand and called to her, "Child, arise!"	54 فاخرج الجمع خارجا وامسك بيدها ونادى قائلا يا صبية قومي.
55 Her breath returned and she immediately arose. He then directed that she should be given something to eat.	55 فرجعت روحها وقامت في الحال. فامر ان تعطى لتاكل.
56 Her parents were astounded, and he instructed them to tell no one what had happened.	56 فبهت والداها. فاوصاهما ان لا يقولا لاحد عما كان
