مَتَّى 16
| وَجَاءَ إِلَيْهِ ٱلْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ وَٱلصَّدُّوقِيُّونَ لِيُجَرِّبُوهُ، فَسَأَلُوهُ أَنْ يُرِيَهُمْ آيَةً مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ. | ١ 1 |
[Some] Pharisees and Sadducees came to [Jesus] and asked him [to perform] a miracle that would prove [that] [had sent him].
| فَأَجَابَ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «إِذَا كَانَ ٱلْمَسَاءُ قُلْتُمْ: صَحْوٌ لِأَنَّ ٱلسَّمَاءَ مُحْمَرَّةٌ. | ٢ 2 |
He answered them, “[In this country], in the evening you say, ‘[It will be] good weather [tomorrow], because the sky is red.’
| وَفِي ٱلصَّبَاحِ: ٱلْيَوْمَ شِتَاءٌ لِأَنَّ ٱلسَّمَاءَ مُحْمَرَّةٌ بِعُبُوسَةٍ.يَا مُرَاؤُونَ! تَعْرِفُونَ أَنْ تُمَيِّزُوا وَجْهَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، وَأَمَّا عَلَامَاتُ ٱلْأَزْمِنَةِ فَلَا تَسْتَطِيعُونَ! | ٣ 3 |
[Early] in the morning [you say], ‘It will be stormy weather today, because the sky is red, and dark clouds have formed.’ You understand how to predict [the weather by looking at the sky], but you cannot [seem to look at what is happening] now, [and by that] understand [what God is doing].
| جِيلٌ شِرِّيرٌ فَاسِقٌ يَلْتَمِسُ آيَةً، وَلَا تُعْطَى لَهُ آيَةٌ إِلَّا آيَةَ يُونَانَ ٱلنَّبِيِّ». ثُمَّ تَرَكَهُمْ وَمَضَى. | ٤ 4 |
[You] evil people have seen me [perform miracles] but you do not faithfully worship God [MET]. You want to see [me perform] a miracle [that would prove that God has sent me]. But [God] will [enable you to see] only one miracle. It will be [like] what happened [MET] to Jonah, [the prophet, who was inside a huge fish for three days and then came out of it to live again].” Then Jesus left them and sailed away, [along with us disciples].
| وَلَمَّا جَاءَ تَلَامِيذُهُ إِلَى ٱلْعَبْرِ نَسُوا أَنْ يَأْخُذُوا خُبْزًا. | ٥ 5 |
[We] forgot to take bread when [we] sailed to another edge of [the lake].
| وَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «ٱنْظُرُوا، وَتَحَرَّزُوا مِنْ خَمِيرِ ٱلْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ وَٱلصَّدُّوقِيِّينَ». | ٦ 6 |
[Then] Jesus said to us, “Beware [that you do not accept] the yeast [MET] that the Pharisees and Sadducees [distribute].”
| فَفَكَّرُوا فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ قَائِلِينَ: «إِنَّنَا لَمْ نَأْخُذْ خُبْزًا». | ٧ 7 |
Then, [not realizing that he was speaking figuratively], [we] said to one another, “[He must have said that] because we forgot to bring any bread!”
| فَعَلِمَ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «لِمَاذَا تُفَكِّرُونَ فِي أَنْفُسِكُمْ يا قَلِيلِي ٱلْإِيمَانِ أَنَّكُمْ لَمْ تَأْخُذُوا خُبْزًا؟ | ٨ 8 |
Because Jesus knew what [we were saying], he said [to us], “(I am disappointed that you are discussing among yourselves, [thinking] that [it was because] you did not bring any bread [that I talked about the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees]./Why are you discussing among yourselves thinking that it was because you did not bring any bread [that I talked about the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees]?) [RHQ] You believe only a little [what I am able to do for you].
| أَحَتَّى ٱلْآنَ لَا تَفْهَمُونَ؟ وَلَا تَذْكُرُونَ خَمْسَ خُبْزَاتِ ٱلْخَمْسَةِ ٱلْآلَافِ وَكَمْ قُفَّةً أَخَذْتُمْ؟ | ٩ 9 |
(You should understand [that I can continue to do miracles to provide for what you need./] you not yet understand [that I can provide miraculously for you if you need food]?) [RHQ] Do you not remember that 5,000 [people ate when I multiplied the] five small loaves [and the two fish? And after everyone had enough to eat], you collected [twelve] baskets [of left-over pieces] [RHQ]!
| وَلَا سَبْعَ خُبْزَاتِ ٱلْأَرْبَعَةِ ٱلْآلَافِ وَكَمْ سَلًّا أَخَذْتُمْ؟ | ١٠ 10 |
[Do you not remember] [RHQ] [that] 4,000 [people ate when I multiplied the] seven small loaves [and a few fish]? And [after everyone had enough to eat], you collected [seven] large baskets [of left-over pieces]
| كَيْفَ لَا تَفْهَمُونَ أَنِّي لَيْسَ عَنِ ٱلْخُبْزِ قُلْتُ لَكُمْ أَنْ تَتَحَرَّزُوا مِنْ خَمِيرِ ٱلْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ وَٱلصَّدُّوقِيِّينَ؟». | ١١ 11 |
(You should have understood that I was not speaking about [real] bread [that contains yeast]./Why have you not understood that I was not speaking about [real] bread [that contains yeast?]) [RHQ] What I [was saying] was that you should [not accept what] the Pharisees and Sadducees [say, because it would affect you like] yeast [affects] [MET] [dough].”
| حِينَئِذٍ فَهِمُوا أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَقُلْ أَنْ يَتَحَرَّزُوا مِنْ خَمِيرِ ٱلْخُبْزِ، بَلْ مِنْ تَعْلِيمِ ٱلْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ وَٱلصَّدُّوقِيِّينَ. | ١٢ 12 |
Then we understood that he was not talking about the yeast that is [in] bread. Instead, [he was talking] about the [wrong] teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
| وَلَمَّا جَاءَ يَسُوعُ إِلَى نَوَاحِي قَيْصَرِيَّةِ فِيلُبُّسَ سَأَلَ تَلَامِيذَهُ قَائِلًا: «مَنْ يَقُولُ ٱلنَّاسُ إِنِّي أَنَا ٱبْنُ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ؟». | ١٣ 13 |
When Jesus came with [us] disciples to the region near Caesarea Philippi [town], he asked us, “Who do people say that I, the one who came from heaven, [really] am?”
| فَقَالُوا: «قَوْمٌ: يُوحَنَّا ٱلْمَعْمَدَانُ، وَآخَرُونَ: إِيلِيَّا، وَآخَرُونَ: إِرْمِيَا أَوْ وَاحِدٌ مِنَ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ». | ١٤ 14 |
We answered, “Some [people say that you are] John the Baptizer, [who has come back to life again]. Others say [that you are the prophet] Elijah, [who has returned from heaven as God promised]. [Still] others [say that you are the prophet] Jeremiah or one of the [other] prophets [who lived long ago, who has come back to life again].”
| قَالَ لَهُمْ: «وَأَنْتُمْ، مَنْ تَقُولُونَ إِنِّي أَنَا؟». | ١٥ 15 |
Jesus said to us, “[What about] you? Who do you say that I am?”
| فَأَجَابَ سِمْعَانُ بُطْرُسُ وَقَالَ: «أَنْتَ هُوَ ٱلْمَسِيحُ ٱبْنُ ٱللهِ ٱلْحَيِّ!». | ١٦ 16 |
Simon Peter said to him, “You are the Messiah! You are the Son of the all-powerful God.”
| فَأجَابَ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «طُوبَى لَكَ يا سِمْعَانُ بْنَ يُونَا، إِنَّ لَحْمًا وَدَمًا لَمْ يُعْلِنْ لَكَ، لَكِنَّ أَبِي ٱلَّذِي فِي ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ. | ١٧ 17 |
Then Jesus said to him, “Simon, son of Jonah, [God] is pleased with you. What you just said was not [SYN] revealed to you by any human. Instead, [it was] my Father [who lives] in heaven [who revealed this to you].
| وَأَنَا أَقُولُ لَكَ أَيْضًا: أَنْتَ بُطْرُسُ، وَعَلَى هَذِهِ ٱلصَّخْرَةِ أَبْنِي كَنِيسَتِي، وَأَبْوَابُ ٱلْجَحِيمِ لَنْ تَقْوَى عَلَيْهَا. (Hadēs g86) | ١٨ 18 |
I will also tell you this: You are Peter, [which means rock]. [You are like] a rock. What you [and your fellow apostles teach] (OR, [what] you [do]) [will be like a foundation on which I] will create congregations of people who [believe in] me. And the demons [PRS], [who live] where the dead people who lived evil lives are, will not be able to [come and] prevent [MET] [me from doing] that.” (Hadēs g86)
| وَأُعْطِيكَ مَفَاتِيحَ مَلَكُوتِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ، فَكُلُّ مَا تَرْبِطُهُ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ يَكُونُ مَرْبُوطًا فِي ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ. وَكُلُّ مَا تَحُلُّهُ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ يَكُونُ مَحْلُولًا فِي ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ». | ١٩ 19 |
[Then, speaking to all of us, he said], “I will enable you [(pl)] to have authority [MTY] over the groups of people over whose lives [God] rules. Whatever you forbid regarding those people [MTY], it will have been forbidden by God. Whatever you permit [MET] regarding them, it will have been permitted by God.”
| حِينَئِذٍ أَوْصَى تَلَامِيذَهُ أَنْ لَا يَقُولُوا لِأَحَدٍ إِنَّهُ يَسُوعُ ٱلْمَسِيحُ. | ٢٠ 20 |
Then Jesus warned [us] disciples strongly not to tell anyone [at that time] that he is the Messiah.
| مِنْ ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ ٱبْتَدَأَ يَسُوعُ يُظْهِرُ لِتَلَامِيذِهِ أَنَّهُ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يَذْهَبَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ وَيَتَأَلَّمَ كَثِيرًا مِنَ ٱلشُّيُوخِ وَرُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَٱلْكَتَبَةِ، وَيُقْتَلَ، وَفِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّالِثِ يَقُومَ. | ٢١ 21 |
From that time Jesus began to teach [us] disciples that it was necessary for him to go to Jerusalem [city]. There the ruling elders, the chief priests, and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws would cause him to suffer and (be killed/die). Then on the third day [after that], he would become alive again.
| فَأَخَذَهُ بُطْرُسُ إِلَيْهِ وَٱبْتَدَأَ يَنْتَهِرُهُ قَائِلًا: «حَاشَاكَ يَارَبُّ! لَا يَكُونُ لَكَ هَذَا!». | ٢٢ 22 |
[Because Peter assumed that the Messiah would not suffer and die], he took Jesus aside and began to rebuke him [for talking about suffering and dying]. He said, “Lord, may [God] never permit that to happen to you! That must certainly not happen!”
| فَٱلْتَفَتَ وَقَالَ لِبُطْرُسَ: «ٱذْهَبْ عَنِّي يَاشَيْطَانُ! أَنْتَ مَعْثَرَةٌ لِي، لِأَنَّكَ لَا تَهْتَمُّ بِمَا لِلهِ لَكِنْ بِمَا لِلنَّاسِ». | ٢٣ 23 |
Then Jesus turned [to look at] Peter, and he said to him, “Stop talking to me [like that] [MTY]! [Stop saying what] Satan [MET] [would say, and stop] trying to prevent [from happening what God has planned]! You are a hindrance to me, because you are not thinking like God thinks. Instead, [you are thinking] like people [think]!”
| حِينَئِذٍ قَالَ يَسُوعُ لِتَلَامِيذِهِ: «إِنْ أَرَادَ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ وَرَائِي فَلْيُنْكِرْ نَفْسَهُ وَيَحْمِلْ صَلِيبَهُ وَيَتْبَعْنِي، | ٢٤ 24 |
Then Jesus said to [us] disciples, “If any one [of you] wants to be my disciple, you must not do [only] what you yourself want [to do]. [You] must be willing to [let people hurt you and disgrace you. That is like what they do to criminals whom they force to] carry a cross [MET] [to the place where the criminals will be executed. That is what anyone who wants to] be my disciple [must do].
| فَإِنَّ مَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُخَلِّصَ نَفْسَهُ يُهْلِكُهَا، وَمَنْ يُهْلِكُ نَفْسَهُ مِنْ أَجْلِي يَجِدُهَا. | ٢٥ 25 |
[You must do that], because those who try to save their lives [by denying that they belong to me when people want to kill them for believing in me] will not live [eternally], but those who are killed [because of being my disciples] will live [with God eternally].
| لِأَنَّهُ مَاذَا يَنْتَفِعُ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ لَوْ رَبِحَ ٱلْعَالَمَ كُلَّهُ وَخَسِرَ نَفْسَهُ؟ أَوْ مَاذَا يُعْطِي ٱلْإِنْسَانُ فِدَاءً عَنْ نَفْسِهِ؟ | ٢٦ 26 |
People [might] get everything [they want] in this world, but ([if they do not become my disciples], they would really be gaining nothing [because] they would not get eternal life!/what would they gain [if they do not become my disciples and thus] do not get eternal life?) [RHQ] (There is absolutely nothing that people can give [to God] that would enable them to gain eternal life./What can people give [to God] that could enable them to gain eternal life?) [MTY, RHQ]
| فَإِنَّ ٱبْنَ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ سَوْفَ يَأْتِي فِي مَجْدِ أَبِيهِ مَعَ مَلَائِكَتِهِ، وَحِينَئِذٍ يُجَازِي كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ حَسَبَ عَمَلِهِ. | ٢٧ 27 |
[Listen carefully: I], the one who came from heaven, [will leave this earth, but] I will return, and the angels of heaven will accompany me. At that time I will have the glorious [radiance] that my Father has, and I will reward everyone according to what they did [when they were living on earth].
| اَلْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ مِنَ ٱلْقِيَامِ هَهُنَا قَوْمًا لَا يَذُوقُونَ ٱلْمَوْتَ حَتَّى يَرَوْا ٱبْنَ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ آتِيًا فِي مَلَكُوتِهِ». | ٢٨ 28 |
Listen carefully! Some of you who are here now will see [me], the one who came from heaven, when I return to rule. You will see this before you die!”
