وَفِي السَّنَةِ الْخَامِسَةَ عَشْرَةَ مِنْ مُلْكِ الْقَيْصَرِ طِيبَارِيُوسَ؛ حِينَ كَانَ بِيلاَطُسُ الْبُنْطِيُّ حَاكِماً عَلَى مِنْطَقَةِ الْيَهُودِيَّةِ، وَهِيرُودُسُ حَاكِمَ رُبْعٍ عَلَى الْجَلِيلِ وَأَخُوهُ فِيلِبُّسُ حَاكِمَ رُبْعٍ عَلَى إِيطُورِيَّةَ وَإِقْلِيمِ تَرَاخُونِيتِسَ، وَلِيسَانِيُوسُ حَاكِمَ رُبْعٍ عَلَى الأَبِلِيَّةِ؛ ١ 1
Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Yehuda, and Herod being tetrarch of Galila, and his brother Philipus tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachona, and Lusania tetrarch of Avilina,
فِي زَمَانِ رِئَاسَةِ حَنَّانَ وَقَيَافَا لِلْكَهَنَةِ؛ كَانَتْ كَلِمَةُ اللهِ عَلَى يُوحَنَّا بْنِ زَكَرِيَّا وَهُوَ فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ. ٢ 2
in the high priesthood of Khanan and Qayapha, the word of God came to Yukhanan, the son of Zekharya, in the wilderness.
فَانْطَلَقَ إِلَى جَمِيعِ النَّوَاحِي الْمُحِيطَةِ بِنَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ يُنَادِي بِمَعْمُودِيَّةِ التَّوْبَةِ لِمَغْفِرَةِ الْخَطَايَا، ٣ 3
He came into all the region around the Yurdinan, preaching a baptism of repentance for forgiveness of sins.
كَمَا كُتِبَ فِي كِتَابِ أَقْوَالِ النَّبِيِّ إِشَعْيَاءَ: «صَوْتُ مُنَادٍ فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ: أَعِدُّوا طَرِيقَ الرَّبِّ وَاجْعَلُوا سُبُلَهُ مُسْتَقِيمَةً. ٤ 4
As it is written in the scroll of the words of Eshaya the prophet, "The voice of one crying in the wilderness, 'Prepare the way of the Lord. Make his roads straight.
كُلُّ وَادٍ سَيُرْدَمُ، وَكُلُّ جَبَلٍ وَتَلٍّ سَيُخْفَضُ، وَتَصِيرُ الأَمَاكِنُ الْمُلْتَوِيَةُ مُسْتَقِيمَةً وَالأَمَاكِنُ الْوَعْرَةُ طُرُقاً مُسْتَوِيَةً، ٥ 5
Every valley will be filled, and every mountain and hill will be made low, and the crooked will be made straight, and the rough ways smooth.
فَيُبْصِرُ كُلُّ بَشَرٍ الْخَلاَصَ الإِلهِيَّ!» ٦ 6
And all humanity will see the salvation of God.'"
فَقَدْ كَانَ يَقُولُ لِلْجُمُوعِ الَّذِينَ خَرَجُوا إِلَيْهِ لِيَتَعَمَّدُوا عَلَى يَدِهِ: «يَاأَوْلادَ الأَفَاعِي، مَنْ أَنْذَرَكُمْ لِتَهْرُبُوا مِنَ الْغَضَبِ الآتِي؟ ٧ 7
He said therefore to the crowds who went out to be baptized by him, "You offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
فَأَثْمِرُوا أَثْمَاراً تَلِيقُ بِالتَّوْبَةِ، وَلاَ تَبْتَدِئُوا تَقُولُونَ فِي أَنْفُسِكُمْ: لَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ أَباً! فَإِنِّي أَقُولُ لَكُمْ إِنَّ اللهَ قَادِرٌ أَنْ يُطْلِعَ مِنْ هذِهِ الْحِجَارَةِ أَوْلاَداً لإِبْرَاهِيمَ. ٨ 8
Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and do not begin to say among yourselves, 'We have Avraham for our father;' for I tell you that God is able to raise up children to Avraham from these stones.
وَهَا إِنَّ الْفَأْسَ أَيْضاً قَدْ وُضِعَتْ عَلَى أَصْلِ الشَّجَرِ: فَكُلُّ شَجَرَةٍ لاَ تُثْمِرُ ثَمَراً جَيِّداً تُقْطَعُ وَتُطْرَحُ فِي النَّارِ». ٩ 9
Even now the axe also lies at the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that does not bring forth good fruit is cut down, and thrown into the fire."
وَسَأَلَتْهُ الْجُمُوعُ: «فَمَاذَا نَفْعَلُ إِذَنْ؟» ١٠ 10
The crowds asked him, "What then must we do?"
فَأَجَابَهُمْ: «مَنْ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ ثَوْبَانِ، فَلْيُعْطِ مَنْ لَيْسَ عِنْدَهُ؛ وَمَنْ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ طَعَامٌ، فَلْيَعْمَلْ كَذلِكَ أَيْضاً». ١١ 11
He answered them, "He who has two coats, let him give to him who has none. He who has food, let him do likewise."
وَجَاءَ أَيْضاً جُبَاةُ ضَرَائِبَ لِيَتَعَمَّدُوا، فَسَأَلُوهُ: «يَامُعَلِّمُ، مَاذَا نَفْعَلُ؟» ١٢ 12
Tax collectors also came to be baptized, and they said to him, "Teacher, what must we do?"
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «لاَ تَجْبُوا أَكْثَرَ مِمَّا فُرِضَ لَكُمْ». ١٣ 13
He said to them, "Collect no more than that which is appointed to you."
وَسَأَلَهُ أَيْضاً بَعْضُ الْجُنُودِ: «وَنَحْنُ، مَاذَا نَفْعَلُ؟» فَأَجَابَهُمْ: «لاَ تَظْلِمُوا أَحَداً وَلاَ تَشْتَكُوا كَذِباً عَلَى أَحَدٍ، وَاقْنَعُوا بِمُرَتَّبَاتِكُمْ!» ١٤ 14
Soldiers also asked him, saying, "What about us? What must we do?" He said to them, "Extort from no one by violence, neither accuse anyone wrongfully. Be content with your wages."
وَإِذْ كَانَ الشَّعْبُ مُنْتَظِرِينَ (الْمَسِيحَ)، وَالْجَمِيعُ يُسَائِلُونَ أَنْفُسَهُمْ عَنْ يُوحَنَّا: «هَلْ هُوَ الْمَسِيحُ؟» ١٥ 15
As the people were in expectation, and all were wondering in their hearts concerning Yukhanan, whether perhaps he was the Meshikha,
أَجَابَ يُوحَنَّا الْجَمِيعَ قَائِلاً: «أَنَا أُعَمِّدُكُمْ بِالْمَاءِ، وَلكِنْ سَيَأْتِي مَنْ هُوَ أَقْدَرُ مِنِّي، مَنْ لاَ أَسْتَحِقُّ أَنْ أَحُلَّ رِبَاطَ حِذَائِهِ: هُوَ سَيُعَمِّدُكُمْ بِالرُّوحِ الْقُدُسِ، وَبِالنَّارِ. ١٦ 16
Yukhanan answered them all, "I indeed baptize you with water, but he comes who is mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to loosen. He will baptize you with the Rukha d'Qudsha and with fire,
فَهُوَ يَحْمِلُ الْمِذْرَى بِيَدِهِ لِيُنَقِّيَ مَا حَصَدَهُ تَمَاماً، فَيَجْمَعُ الْقَمْحَ إِلَى مَخْزَنِهِ، وَأَمَّا التِّبْنُ فَيُحْرِقُهُ بِنَارٍ لاَ تُطْفَأُ». ١٧ 17
whose winnowing fork is in his hand, to clear his threshing floor, and to gather the wheat into his barn; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire."
وَكَانَ يُبَشِّرُ الشَّعْبَ وَيَعِظُهُمْ بِأَشْيَاءَ أُخْرَى كَثِيرَةٍ. ١٨ 18
Then with many other exhortations he preached good news to the people,
وَلكِنَّ هِيرُودُسَ حَاكِمَ الرُّبْعِ، إِذْ كَانَ يُوحَنَّا قَدْ وَبَّخَهُ بِسَبَبِ هِيرُودِيَّا زَوْجَةِ أَخِيهِ وَبِسَبَبِ جَمِيعِ مَا ارْتَكَبَهُ مِنَ الشُّرُورِ، ١٩ 19
but Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodia, his brother's wife, and for all the evil things which Herod had done,
أَضَافَ إِلَى شُرُورِهِ السَّابِقَةِ هَذَا الشَّرَّ: أَنَّهُ حَبَسَ يُوحَنَّا فِي السِّجْنِ. ٢٠ 20
added this also to them all, that he shut up Yukhanan in prison.
وَلَمَّا تَعَمَّدَ الشَّعْبُ جَمِيعاً، تَعَمَّدَ يَسُوعُ، وَإِذْ كَانَ يُصَلِّي، انْفَتَحَتِ السَّمَاءُ، ٢١ 21
Now it happened, when all the people were baptized, Yeshua also had been baptized, and was praying. The sky was opened,
وَهَبَطَ عَلَيْهِ الرُّوحُ الْقُدُسُ مُتَّخِذاً هَيْئَةً جِسْمِيَّةً مِثْلَ حَمَامَةٍ، وَانْطَلَقَ صَوْتٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ يَقُولُ: «أَنْتَ ابْنِي الْحَبِيبُ بِكَ سُرِرْتُ كُلَّ سُرُورٍ!» ٢٢ 22
and the Rukha d'Qudsha descended in a bodily form as a dove on him; and a voice came out of the sky, saying "You are my beloved Son. In you I am well pleased."
وَلَمَّا بَدَأَ يَسُوعُ (خِدْمَتَهُ)، كَانَ فِي الثَّلاَثِينَ مِنَ الْعُمْرِ تَقْرِيباً، وكَانَ مَعْرُوفاً أَنَّهُ ابْنُ يُوسُفَ بْنِ هَالِي، ٢٣ 23
When he began, Yeshua was about thirty years old, being the son, as was supposed, of Yauseph, of Heli,
