ܠܘܩܘܣ 7
| ܘܟܕ ܫܠܡ ܡܠܐ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܠܡܫܡܥܬܗ ܕܥܡܐ ܥܠ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܟܦܪܢܚܘܡ | 1 |
When he'd finished speaking to the people, Jesus left for Capernaum.
| ܥܒܕܗ ܕܝܢ ܕܩܢܛܪܘܢܐ ܚܕ ܥܒܝܕ ܗܘܐ ܒܝܫܐܝܬ ܐܝܢܐ ܕܝܩܝܪ ܗܘܐ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܘܩܪܝܒ ܗܘܐ ܠܡܡܬ | 2 |
A centurion lived there who had a servant he greatly valued who was sick and was about to die.
| ܘܫܡܥ ܥܠ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܫܕܪ ܠܘܬܗ ܩܫܝܫܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܘܒܥܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܢܗ ܐܝܟ ܕܢܐܬܐ ܢܚܐ ܠܥܒܕܗ | 3 |
When he heard about Jesus, the centurion sent some Jewish elders to him, asking him to come and heal his servant.
| ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܐܬܘ ܠܘܬ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܢܗ ܒܛܝܠܐܝܬ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܫܘܐ ܗܘ ܕܬܥܒܕ ܠܗ ܗܕܐ | 4 |
When the elders came to Jesus, they pleaded with him strongly, saying, “Please come and do what he asks. He deserves your help,
| ܪܚܡ ܓܝܪ ܠܥܡܢ ܘܐܦ ܒܝܬ ܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܗܘ ܒܢܐ ܠܢ | 5 |
because he loves our people and he built a synagogue for us.”
| ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܐܙܠ ܗܘܐ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܟܕ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܤܓܝ ܪܚܝܩ ܡܢ ܒܝܬܐ ܫܕܪ ܠܘܬܗ ܩܢܛܪܘܢܐ ܪܚܡܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܪܝ ܠܐ ܬܥܡܠ ܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܫܘܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܬܥܘܠ ܬܚܝܬ ܡܛܠܠܝ | 6 |
Jesus went with them and as they approached the house, the centurion sent some friends to Jesus to tell him, “Lord, please don't trouble yourself by coming into my house, because I'm not worthy of that.
| ܡܛܠ ܗܘ ܐܢܐ ܠܐ ܫܘܝܬ ܕܠܘܬܟ ܐܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܡܪ ܒܡܠܬܐ ܘܢܬܐܤܐ ܛܠܝܝ | 7 |
I didn't even think that I was worthy to come and see you. Just give the command, and my servant will be healed.
| ܐܦ ܐܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܓܒܪܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܡܫܥܒܕ ܐܢܐ ܬܚܝܬ ܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܘܐܝܬ ܬܚܝܬ ܐܝܕܝ ܐܤܛܪܛܝܘܛܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܗܢܐ ܕܙܠ ܘܐܙܠ ܘܠܐܚܪܢܐ ܕܬܐ ܘܐܬܐ ܘܠܥܒܕܝ ܥܒܕ ܗܕܐ ܘܥܒܕ | 8 |
For I'm under the authority of my superior officers, and I have soldiers under my authority too. I command one to go and he goes, another to come and he comes. I command my servant to do something and he does it.”
| ܟܕ ܫܡܥ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܬܕܡܪ ܒܗ ܘܐܬܦܢܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܟܢܫܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܒܬܪܗ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܐܦ ܠܐ ܒܝܬ ܐܝܤܪܝܠ ܐܫܟܚܬ ܐܝܟ ܗܕܐ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ | 9 |
When Jesus heard this he was astounded. He turned to the crowd that was following him, and said, “I tell you, I haven't found trust like this even in Israel.”
| ܘܗܦܟܘ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܐܫܬܕܪܘ ܠܒܝܬܐ ܘܐܫܟܚܘ ܠܥܒܕܐ ܗܘ ܕܟܪܝܗ ܗܘܐ ܟܕ ܚܠܝܡ | 10 |
Then the centurion's friends returned to the house and found the servant in good health.
| ܘܗܘܐ ܠܝܘܡܐ ܕܒܬܪܗ ܐܙܠ ܗܘܐ ܠܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܕܫܡܗ ܢܐܝܢ ܘܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܥܡܗ ܘܟܢܫܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ | 11 |
Soon after Jesus went to a town called Nain, accompanied by his disciples and a large crowd.
| ܘܟܕ ܩܪܒ ܠܬܪܥܐ ܕܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܚܙܐ ܟܕ ܡܠܘܝܢ ܡܝܬܐ ܕܝܚܝܕܝܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܐܡܗ ܘܗܝ ܐܡܗ ܐܪܡܠܬܐ ܗܘܬ ܘܟܢܫܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܕܒܢܝ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܥܡܗ | 12 |
As he approached the town gate a funeral procession was coming the other way. The man who had died was the only son of a widow, and a sizeable crowd from the town was with her.
| ܚܙܗ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܬܪܚܡ ܥܠܝܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܠܐ ܬܒܟܝܢ | 13 |
When the Lord saw her he was filled with compassion for her. “Don't cry,” he told her.
| ܘܐܙܠ ܩܪܒ ܠܥܪܤܐ ܘܗܢܘܢ ܕܫܩܝܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܩܡܘ ܘܐܡܪ ܥܠܝܡܐ ܠܟ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܩܘܡ | 14 |
Jesus went over to the coffin and touched it, and the pall-bearers stopped. Jesus said, “Young man, I tell you, get up.”
| ܘܝܬܒ ܗܘ ܡܝܬܐ ܘܫܪܝ ܠܡܡܠܠܘ ܘܝܗܒܗ ܠܐܡܗ | 15 |
The dead man sat up and began to talk, and Jesus gave him back to his mother.
| ܘܐܚܕܬ ܕܚܠܬܐ ܠܐܢܫܐ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܘܡܫܒܚܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܕܢܒܝܐ ܪܒܐ ܩܡ ܒܢ ܘܤܥܪ ܐܠܗܐ ܠܥܡܗ | 16 |
A sense of awe filled everyone there and they praised God, saying, “A great prophet has arisen among us,” and “God has visited his people.”
| ܘܢܦܩܬ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܡܠܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܒܟܠܗ ܝܗܘܕ ܘܒܟܠܗ ܐܬܪܐ ܕܚܕܪܝܗܘܢ | 17 |
News about Jesus spread throughout Judea, and all around.
| ܘܐܫܬܥܝܘ ܠܝܘܚܢܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܗܠܝܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ | 18 |
The disciples of John told John about all this.
| ܘܩܪܐ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܠܬܪܝܢ ܡܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܫܕܪ ܐܢܘܢ ܠܘܬ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܐܢܬ ܗܘ ܗܘ ܕܐܬܐ ܐܘ ܠܐܚܪܝܢ ܗܘ ܡܤܟܝܢ ܚܢܢ | 19 |
John called two of his disciples and told them to go and see Jesus, and ask, “Are you the one we've been expecting, or should we wait for someone else?”
| ܘܐܬܘ ܠܘܬ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܡܥܡܕܢܐ ܫܕܪܢ ܠܘܬܟ ܘܐܡܪ ܐܢܬ ܗܘ ܗܘ ܕܐܬܐ ܐܘ ܠܐܚܪܝܢ ܗܘ ܡܤܟܝܢ ܚܢܢ | 20 |
When they came to Jesus, they said, “John the Baptist sent us to you, to ask you, ‘Are you the one we've been expecting or should we wait for someone else?’”
| ܒܗ ܕܝܢ ܒܗܝ ܫܥܬܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܐܤܝ ܡܢ ܟܘܪܗܢܐ ܘܡܢ ܡܚܘܬܐ ܘܡܢ ܪܘܚܐ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܘܠܤܓܝܐܐ ܤܡܝܐ ܝܗܒ ܗܘܐ ܠܡܚܙܐ | 21 |
At that very moment Jesus was healing many people of their diseases, illnesses, evil spirits, and making the blind to see.
| ܘܥܢܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܙܠܘ ܐܡܪܘ ܠܝܘܚܢܢ ܟܠܡܕܡ ܕܚܙܝܬܘܢ ܘܫܡܥܬܘܢ ܕܤܡܝܐ ܚܙܝܢ ܘܚܓܝܪܐ ܡܗܠܟܝܢ ܘܓܪܒܐ ܡܬܕܟܝܢ ܘܚܪܫܐ ܫܡܥܝܢ ܘܡܝܬܐ ܩܝܡܝܢ ܘܡܤܟܢܐ ܡܤܬܒܪܝܢ | 22 |
Jesus answered John's disciples, “Go and tell John what you've seen and heard. The blind see, the lame walk, the lepers cured, the deaf hear, the dead raised back to life, the poor are told the good news.
| ܘܛܘܒܘܗܝ ܠܡܢ ܕܠܐ ܢܬܟܫܠ ܒܝ | 23 |
How good it is for those who are not offended because of me!”
| ܟܕ ܕܝܢ ܐܙܠܘ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܕܝܘܚܢܢ ܫܪܝ ܠܡܐܡܪ ܠܟܢܫܐ ܥܠ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܡܢܐ ܢܦܩܬܘܢ ܠܚܘܪܒܐ ܠܡܚܙܐ ܩܢܝܐ ܕܡܢ ܪܘܚܐ ܡܬܬܙܝܥ | 24 |
After the messengers from John had left, Jesus began telling the crowd, “About John: what did you expect to see when you went out to meet him in the desert? Some reed blown about by the wind?
| ܘܐܠܐ ܡܢܐ ܢܦܩܬܘܢ ܠܡܚܙܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܕܢܚܬܐ ܪܟܝܟܐ ܠܒܝܫ ܗܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܒܠܒܘܫܐ ܡܫܒܚܐ ܘܒܦܘܢܩܐ ܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܒܝܬ ܡܠܟܐ ܐܢܘܢ | 25 |
Did you come looking for a man dressed in fine clothes? No, those who have stylish clothes and live in luxury are found in palaces.
| ܘܐܠܐ ܡܢܐ ܢܦܩܬܘܢ ܠܡܚܙܐ ܢܒܝܐ ܐܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܝܬܝܪ ܡܢ ܢܒܝܐ | 26 |
Were you looking for a prophet? Yes he is, and I'm telling you, he's much more than a prophet.
| ܗܢܘ ܕܥܠܘܗܝ ܟܬܝܒ ܕܗܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܫܕܪ ܐܢܐ ܡܠܐܟܝ ܩܕܡ ܦܪܨܘܦܟ ܕܢܬܩܢ ܐܘܪܚܐ ܩܕܡܝܟ | 27 |
It was written about him in Scripture: ‘Look, I'm sending my messenger to go before you to prepare your way.’
| ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܠܝܬ ܢܒܝܐ ܒܝܠܝܕܝ ܢܫܐ ܕܪܒ ܡܢ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܡܥܡܕܢܐ ܙܥܘܪܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܪܒ ܗܘ ܡܢܗ | 28 |
I tell you, no one born of women is greater than John, but even the most unimportant person in God's kingdom is greater than he is!”
| ܘܟܠܗ ܥܡܐ ܕܫܡܥܘ ܐܦ ܡܟܤܐ ܙܕܩܘ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܕܥܡܕܘ ܡܥܡܘܕܝܬܗ ܕܝܘܚܢܢ | 29 |
When they heard this, all of them—even the tax collectors—followed what God said was good and right, for they had been baptized by John.
| ܦܪܝܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܘܤܦܪܐ ܛܠܡܘ ܒܢܦܫܗܘܢ ܨܒܝܢܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܠܐ ܐܬܥܡܕܘ ܡܢܗ | 30 |
But the Pharisees and the religious teachers rejected what God wanted them to do, for they had refused to be baptized by John.
| ܠܡܢ ܗܟܝܠ ܐܕܡܐ ܠܐܢܫܐ ܕܫܪܒܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܘܠܡܢ ܕܡܝܢ | 31 |
“What shall I compare these people to?” asked Jesus. “What are they like?
| ܕܡܝܢ ܠܛܠܝܐ ܕܝܬܒܝܢ ܒܫܘܩܐ ܘܩܥܝܢ ܠܚܒܪܝܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܙܡܪܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܪܩܕܬܘܢ ܘܐܠܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܒܟܝܬܘܢ | 32 |
They're like children sitting in the market who tell one other, ‘We played the flute for you but you didn't dance; we sang sad songs but you didn't cry.’
| ܐܬܐ ܓܝܪ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܡܥܡܕܢܐ ܠܐ ܐܟܠ ܠܚܡܐ ܘܠܐ ܫܬܐ ܚܡܪܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܫܐܕܐ ܐܝܬ ܒܗ | 33 |
When John the Baptist came he didn't eat bread or drink wine, but you say he's demon-possessed.
| ܐܬܐ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܐܟܠ ܘܫܬܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܗܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܐܟܘܠܐ ܘܫܬܐ ܚܡܪܐ ܘܪܚܡܐ ܕܡܟܤܐ ܘܕܚܛܝܐ | 34 |
Now the Son of man is here, and eats and drinks with people, but you say, ‘Look, he spends his time eating too much food and drinking too much wine. Plus he's a friend of tax collectors and sinners.’
| ܘܐܙܕܕܩܬ ܚܟܡܬܐ ܡܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܒܢܝܗ | 35 |
However, God's wise ways are proved right by all who follow him!”
| ܐܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܥܐ ܡܢܗ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܕܢܠܥܤ ܥܡܗ ܘܥܠ ܠܒܝܬܗ ܕܦܪܝܫܐ ܗܘ ܘܐܤܬܡܟ | 36 |
One of the Pharisees invited Jesus to come and eat with him. Jesus went to the Pharisee's house and sat down to the meal.
| ܘܐܢܬܬܐ ܚܛܝܬܐ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܬ ܒܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܗܝ ܘܟܕ ܝܕܥܬ ܕܒܒܝܬܗ ܕܦܪܝܫܐ ܗܘ ܤܡܝܟ ܢܤܒܬ ܫܛܝܦܬܐ ܕܒܤܡܐ | 37 |
A woman who was a sinner in that town found out that Jesus was eating in the Pharisee's house. She went there, carrying an alabaster jar of perfume.
| ܘܩܡܬ ܒܤܬܪܗ ܠܘܬ ܪܓܠܘܗܝ ܘܒܟܝܐ ܗܘܬ ܘܫܪܝܬ ܒܕܡܥܝܗ ܡܨܒܥܐ ܪܓܠܘܗܝ ܘܒܤܥܪܐ ܕܪܫܗ ܡܫܘܝܢ ܠܗܝܢ ܘܡܢܫܩܐ ܗܘܬ ܪܓܠܘܗܝ ܘܡܫܚܐ ܒܤܡܐ | 38 |
She kneeled beside Jesus and with her tears wet his feet, and dried them with her hair. She kissed his feet, and then she poured the perfume over them.
| ܟܕ ܚܙܐ ܕܝܢ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܗܘ ܕܩܪܝܗܝ ܐܬܚܫܒ ܒܢܦܫܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܗܢܐ ܐܠܘ ܢܒܝܐ ܗܘܐ ܝܕܥ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܗܝ ܘܡܐ ܛܒܗ ܕܚܛܝܬܐ ܗܝ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܗܝ ܕܩܪܒܬ ܠܗ | 39 |
When the Pharisee who had invited Jesus saw this he said to himself, “If this man was really a prophet he would know who this woman was who's touching him, and what kind of person she was—that she's a sinner!”
| ܥܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܡܕܡ ܐܝܬ ܠܝ ܕܐܡܪ ܠܟ ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܡܪ ܪܒܝ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ | 40 |
Jesus spoke up and said, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” “Tell me, Teacher,” he responded.
| ܬܪܝܢ ܚܝܒܐ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܘ ܠܚܕ ܡܪܐ ܚܘܒܐ ܚܕ ܚܝܒ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢܪܐ ܚܡܫܡܐܐ ܘܐܚܪܢܐ ܕܝܢܪܐ ܚܡܫܝܢ | 41 |
“Once two people were in debt to a money-lender. One owed five hundred denarii, the other only fifty.
| ܘܕܠܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܡܦܪܥ ܠܬܪܝܗܘܢ ܫܒܩ ܐܝܢܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܝܬܝܪ ܢܚܒܝܘܗܝ | 42 |
Neither of them could repay him, so he forgave the debts. Which one will love him the most?”
| ܥܢܐ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܤܒܪ ܐܢܐ ܕܗܘ ܕܐܫܬܒܩ ܠܗ ܤܓܝ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܬܪܝܨܐܝܬ ܕܢܬ | 43 |
“The one he forgave the most, I would think,” Simon answered. “You're absolutely right,” said Jesus.
| ܘܐܬܦܢܝ ܠܘܬ ܗܝ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܫܡܥܘܢ ܚܙܐ ܐܢܬ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܠܒܝܬܟ ܥܠܬ ܡܝܐ ܠܪܓܠܝ ܠܐ ܝܗܒܬ ܗܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܕܡܥܝܗ ܪܓܠܝ ܨܒܥܬ ܘܒܤܥܪܗ ܫܘܝܬ ܐܢܝܢ | 44 |
Turning to the woman, he said to Simon, “You see this woman? When I came into your house, you didn't give me water to wash my feet. But she has washed my feet with her tears, and wiped them with her hair.
| ܐܢܬ ܠܐ ܢܫܩܬܢܝ ܗܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܗܐ ܡܢ ܕܥܠܬ ܠܐ ܫܠܝܬ ܪܓܠܝ ܠܡܢܫܩܘ | 45 |
You didn't give me a kiss, but since I came in she hasn't stopped kissing my feet.
| ܐܢܬ ܡܫܚܐ ܠܪܫܝ ܠܐ ܡܫܚܬ ܗܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܡܫܚܐ ܕܒܤܡܐ ܪܓܠܝ ܡܫܚܬ | 46 |
You didn't anoint my head with oil, but she poured perfume over my feet.
| ܚܠܦ ܗܕܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ ܕܫܒܝܩܝܢ ܠܗ ܚܛܗܝܗ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܚܒܬ ܤܓܝ ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܕܩܠܝܠ ܡܫܬܒܩ ܠܗ ܩܠܝܠ ܡܚܒ | 47 |
So I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven—that's why she loves so much. But whoever is forgiven little, only loves a little.”
| ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܝ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܫܒܝܩܝܢ ܠܟܝ ܚܛܗܝܟܝ | 48 |
Then Jesus said to the woman, “Your sins have been forgiven.”
| ܫܪܝܘ ܕܝܢ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܤܡܝܟܝܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܒܢܦܫܗܘܢ ܡܢܘ ܗܢܐ ܕܐܦ ܚܛܗܐ ܫܒܩ | 49 |
Those who were sitting eating with him began talking among themselves, saying, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”
| ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܝ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܟܝ ܐܚܝܬܟܝ ܙܠܝ ܒܫܠܡܐ | 50 |
But Jesus told the woman, “Your trust has saved you, go in peace.”
