< Mark 4 >

1 And hee began againe to teache by the sea side, and there gathered vnto him a great multitude, so that hee entred into a shippe, and sate in the sea, and all the people was by the sea side on the land.
ثُمَّ أَخَذَ يُعَلِّمُ ثَانِيَةً عِنْدَ شَاطِئِ الْبُحَيْرَةِ، وَقَدِ احْتَشَدَ حَوْلَهُ جَمْعٌ كَبِيرٌ، حَتَّى إِنَّهُ صَعِدَ إِلَى الْقَارِبِ وَجَلَسَ فِيهِ فَوْقَ الْمَاءِ، فِيمَا كَانَ الْجَمْعُ كُلُّهُ عَلَى شَاطِئِ الْبُحَيْرَةِ.١
2 And he taught them many things in parables, and said vnto them in his doctrine,
فَعَلَّمَهُمْ أُمُوراً كَثِيرَةً بِالأَمْثَالِ. وَمِمَّا قَالَهُ لَهُمْ فِي تَعْلِيمِهِ:٢
3 Hearken: Beholde, there went out a sower to sowe.
«اِسْمَعُوا! هَا إِنَّ الزَّارِعَ قَدْ خَرَجَ لِيَزْرَعَ.٣
4 And it came to passe as he sowed, that some fell by the way side, and the foules of the heauen came, and deuoured it vp.
وَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ يَزْرَعُ، وَقَعَ بَعْضُ الْبِذَارِ عَلَى الْمَمَرَّاتِ، فَجَاءَتِ الطُّيُورُ وَالْتَهَمَتْهُ.٤
5 And some fell on stonie grounde, where it had not much earth, and by and by sprang vp, because it had not depth of earth.
وَوَقَعَ بَعْضُهُ عَلَى أَرْضٍ صَخْرِيَّةٍ رَقِيقَةِ التُّرْبَةِ، فَنَمَا سَرِيعاً لأَنَّ تُرْبَتَهُ لَمْ تَكُنْ عَمِيقَةً.٥
6 But assoone as ye Sunne was vp, it was burnt vp, and because it had not roote, it withered away.
وَلكِنْ لَمَّا أَشْرَقَتِ الشَّمْسُ، احْتَرَقَ وَيَبِسَ لأَنَّهُ كَانَ بِلاَ أَصْلٍ.٦
7 And some fell among the thornes, and the thornes grewe vp, and choked it, so that it gaue no fruite.
وَوَقَعَ بَعْضُ الْبِذَارِ بَيْنَ الأَشْوَاكِ، فَنَبَتَ الشَّوْكُ وَخَنَقَهُ، فَلَمْ يُثْمِرْ.٧
8 Some againe fell in good grounde, and did yeelde fruite that sprong vp, and grewe, and it brought foorth, some thirtie folde, some sixtie folde, and some an hundreth folde.
وَبَعْضُ الْبِذَارِ وَقَعَ فِي الأَرْضِ الْجَيِّدَةِ، فَنَبَتَ وَنَمَا وَأَثْمَرَ، فَأَعْطَى بَعْضُهُ ثَلاَثِينَ ضِعْفاً، وَبَعْضُهُ سِتِّينَ، وَبَعْضُهُ مِئَةً».٨
9 Then he said vnto them, He that hath eares to heare, let him heare.
ثُمَّ قَالَ: «مَنْ لَهُ أُذُنَانِ لِلسَّمْعِ، فَلْيَسْمَعْ!»٩
10 And whe he was alone, they that were about him with the twelue, asked him of ye parable.
وَعِنْدَمَا كَانَ يَسُوعُ وَحْدَهُ، سَأَلَهُ الَّذِينَ حَوْلَهُ وَالاِثْنَا عَشَرَ عَنْ مَغْزَى الْمَثَلِ.١٠
11 And he saide vnto them, To you it is giuen to knowe the mysterie of the kingdome of God: but vnto them that are without, all thinges bee done in parables,
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «قَدْ أُعْطِيَ لَكُمْ أَنْ تَعْرِفُوا سِرَّ مَلَكُوتِ اللهِ. أَمَّا الَّذِينَ مِنْ خَارِجٍ، فَكُلُّ شَيْءٍ يُقَدَّمُ لَهُمْ بِالأَمْثَالِ،١١
12 That they seeing, may see, and not discerne: and they hearing, may heare, and not vnderstand, least at any time they should turne, and their sinnes should be forgiuen them.
حَتَّى إِنَّهُمْ: نَظَراً يَنْظُرُونَ وَلاَ يُبْصِرُونَ، وَسَمْعاً يَسْمَعُونَ وَلاَ يَفْهَمُونَ، لِئَلاَّ يَتُوبُوا فَتُغْفَرَ لَهُمْ خَطَايَاهُمْ!»١٢
13 Againe he said vnto them, Perceiue ye not this parable? howe then should ye vnderstand all other parables?
وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَلَمْ تَفْهَمُوا هذَا الْمَثَلَ؟ فَكَيْفَ تَفْهَمُونَ جَمِيعَ الأَمْثَالِ الأُخْرَى؟١٣
14 The sower soweth the worde.
إِنَّ الزَّارِعَ يَزْرَعُ كَلِمَةَ اللهِ.١٤
15 And these are they that receiue the seede by the wayes side, in whome the worde is sowen: but when they haue heard it, Satan commeth immediatly, and taketh away the worde that was sowen in their heartes.
وَهؤُلاَءِ الَّذِينَ عَلَى الْمَمَرَّاتِ حَيْثُ تُزْرَعُ الْكَلِمَةُ، هُمُ الَّذِينَ حَالَمَا يَسْمَعُونَ يَأْتِي الشَّيْطَانُ وَيَخْطَفُ الْكَلِمَةَ الَّتِي زُرِعَتْ فِيهِمْ.١٥
16 And likewise they that receiue the seede in stony ground, are they, which whe they haue heard the word, straightwayes receiue it with gladnesse.
وَكَذلِكَ هؤُلاَءِ الَّذِينَ تُزْرَعُ فِيهِمِ الكَلِمَةُ عَلَى أَرْضٍ صَخْرِيَّةٍ، وَهُمُ الَّذِينَ حَالَمَا يَسْمَعُونَ الْكَلِمَةَ يَقْبَلُونَهَا بِفَرَحٍ،١٦
17 Yet haue they no roote in themselues, and endure but a time: for when trouble and persecution ariseth for the worde, immediatly they be offended.
وَلاَ أَصْلَ لَهُمْ فِي ذَوَاتِهِمْ، وَإِنَّمَا هُمْ إِلَى حِينٍ. فَحَالَمَا يَحْدُثُ ضِيقٌ أَوِ اضْطِهَادٌ مِنْ أَجْلِ الْكَلِمَةِ، يَتَعَثَّرُونَ.١٧
18 Also they that receiue the seede among the thornes, are such as heare the word:
وَالآخَرُونَ الَّذِينَ تُزْرَعُ فِيهِمِ الْكَلِمَةُ بَيْنَ الأَشْوَاكِ، هؤُلاَءِ هُمُ الَّذِينَ قَدْ سَمِعُوا الْكَلِمَةَ،١٨
19 But the cares of this world, and the deceitfulnes of riches, and the lustes of other things enter in, and choke the word, and it is vnfruitfull. (aiōn g165)
وَلكِنَّ هُمُومَ الزَّمَانِ الْحَاضِرِ وَخِدَاعَ الْغِنَى وَاشْتِهَاءَ الأُمُورِ الأُخْرَى، تَدْخُلُ إِلَيْهِمْ وَتَخْنُقُ الْكَلِمَةَ، فَتَصِيرُ بِلاَ ثَمَرٍ. (aiōn g165)١٩
20 But they that haue receiued seede in good ground, are they that heare the worde, and receiue it, and bring foorth fruite: one corne thirtie, another sixtie, and some an hundreth.
وَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ تُزْرَعُ فِيهِمِ الْكَلِمَةُ فِي الأَرْضِ الْجَيِّدَةِ، فَهؤُلاَءِ هُمُ الَّذِينَ يَسْمَعُونَ الْكَلِمَةَ وَيَقْبَلُونَهَا فَيُثْمِرُونَ، بَعْضُهُمْ ثَلاَثِينَ ضِعْفاً وَبَعْضُهُمْ سِتِّينَ، وَبَعْضُهُمْ مِئَةً».٢٠
21 Also he saide vnto them, Commeth the candle in, to be put vnder a bushell, or vnder the bed, and not to be put on a candlesticke?
وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «هَلْ يُؤْتَى بِالْمِصْبَاحِ لِيُوْضَعَ تَحْتَ الْمِكْيَالِ أَوْ تَحْتَ السَّرِيرِ؟ أَلَيْسَ لِيُوْضَعَ عَلَى الْمَنَارَةِ؟٢١
22 For there is nothing hid, that shall not be opened: neither is there a secret, but that it shall come to light.
فَلَيْسَ مَخْفِيُّ إِلاَّ وَيُكْشَفُ، وَمَا كُتِمَ شَيْءٌ إِلاَ لِيُعْلَنَ!٢٢
23 If any man haue eares to heare, let him heare.
مَنْ لَهُ أُذُنَانِ لِلسَّمْعِ، فَلْيَسْمَعْ!»٢٣
24 And he said vnto them, Take heede what ye heare. With what measure ye mete, it shall be measured vnto you: and vnto you that heare, shall more be giuen.
وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «تَنَبَّهُوا لِمَا تَسْمَعُونَ. فَبِأَيِّ كَيْلٍ تَكِيلُونَ، يُكَالُ لَكُمْ وَيُزَادُ لَكُمْ.٢٤
25 For vnto him that hath, shall it be giuen, and from him that hath not, shall be taken away, euen that he hath.
فَإِنَّ مَنْ عِنْدَهُ يُعْطَى الْمَزِيدُ، وَمَنْ لَيْسَ عِنْدَهُ، فَحَتَّى الَّذِي عِنْدَهُ يُنْتَزَعُ مِنْهُ».٢٥
26 Also he said, So is the kingdome of God, as if a man should cast seede in the ground,
وَقَالَ: «إِنَّ مَلَكُوتَ اللهِ يُشَبَّهُ بِإِنْسَانٍ يُلْقِي الْبِذَارَ عَلَى الأَرْضِ،٢٦
27 And shoulde sleepe, and rise vp night and day, and the seede should spring and growe vp, he not knowing howe.
ثُمَّ يَنَامُ لَيْلاً وَيَقُومُ نَهَاراً فِيمَا الْبِذَارُ يَطْلُعُ وَيَنْمُو، وَهُوَ لاَ يَدْرِي كَيْفَ يَحْدُثُ الأَمْرُ.٢٧
28 For the earth bringeth foorth fruite of it selfe, first the blade, then the eares, after that full corne in the eares.
فَالأَرْضُ مِنْ ذَاتِهَا تُعْطِي الثَّمَرَ، فَتُطْلِعُ أَوَّلاً عُشْبَةً، ثُمَّ سُنْبُلَةً، ثُمَّ قَمْحاً مِلْءَ السُّنْبُلَةِ.٢٨
29 And assoone as the fruite sheweth it selfe, anon hee putteth in the sickle, because the haruest is come.
وَلَكِنْ حَالَمَا يَنْضَجُ الثَّمَرُ، يُعْمِلُ فِيهِ الْمِنْجَلَ إِذْ يَكُونُ الْحَصَادُ قَدْ حَانَ».٢٩
30 He saide moreouer, Whereunto shall wee liken the kingdome of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?
وَقَالَ: «بِمَاذَا نُشَبِّهُ مَلَكُوتَ اللهِ، وَبِأَيِّ مَثَلٍ نُمَثِّلُهُ؟٣٠
31 It is like a graine of mustarde seede, which when it is sowen in the earth, is the least of all seedes that be in the earth:
إِنَّهُ يُشَبَّهُ بِبِزْرَةِ خَرْدَلٍ، تَكُونُ عِنْدَ بَذْرِهَا عَلَى الأَرْضِ أَصْغَرَ مِنْ كُلِّ مَا عَلَى الأَرْضِ مِنْ بُزُورٍ،٣١
32 But after that it is sowen, it groweth vp, and is greatest of all herbes, and beareth great branches, so that the foules of heauen may builde vnder the shadow of it.
وَلَكِنْ مَتَى تَمَّ زَرْعُهَا، تُطْلِعُ أَغْصَاناً كَبِيرَةً، حَتَّى إِنَّ طُيُورَ السَّمَاءِ تَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تَبِيتَ فِي ظِلِّهَا».٣٢
33 And with many such parables he preached the word vnto them, as they were able to heare it.
بِكَثِيرٍ مِنْ مِثْلِ هذِهِ الأَمْثَالِ كَانَ يَسُوعُ يُكَلِّمُ الْجَمْعَ بِالْكَلِمَةِ، عَلَى قَدْرِ مَا كَانُوا يُطِيقُونَ أَنْ يَسْمَعُوا.٣٣
34 And without parables spake hee nothing vnto them: but he expounded all thinges to his disciples apart.
وَبِغَيْرِ مَثَلٍ لَمْ يَكُنْ يُكَلِّمُهُمْ. وَلكِنَّهُ كَانَ يُفَسِّرُ لِتَلاَمِيذِهِ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ حِينَ يَنْفَرِدُ بِهِمْ.٣٤
35 Nowe the same day when euen was come, he saide vnto them, Let vs passe ouer vnto the other side.
وَفِي ذلِكَ الْيَوْمِ، عِنْدَمَا حَلَّ الْمَسَاءُ، قَالَ لِتَلاَمِيذِهِ: «لِنَعْبُرْ إِلَى الضَّفَّةِ الْمُقَابِلَةِ!»٣٥
36 And they left the multitude, and tooke him as he was in the shippe, and there were also with him other little shippes.
فَلَمَّا صَرَفُوا الْجَمْعَ، أَخَذُوهُ مَعَهُمْ فِي الْقَارِبِ الَّذِي كَانَ فِيهِ. وَكَانَ مَعَهُ أَيْضاً قَوَارِبُ أُخْرَى.٣٦
37 And there arose a great storme of winde, and the waues dashed into the shippe, so that it was now full.
فَهَبَّتْ عَاصِفَةُ رِيحٍ شَدِيدَةٌ، وَأَخَذَتِ الأَمْوَاجُ تَضْرِبُ الْقَارِبَ حَتَّى كَادَ يَمْتَلِىءُ مَاءً.٣٧
38 And he was in the sterne asleepe on a pillow: and they awoke him, and saide to him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?
وَكَانَ هُوَ فِي مُؤَخَّرِ الْقَارِبِ نَائِماً عَلَى وِسَادَةٍ. فَأَيْقَظُوهُ وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «يَامُعَلِّمُ، أَمَا يَهُمُّكَ أَنَّنَا نَهْلِكُ؟»٣٨
39 And hee rose vp, and rebuked the winde, and saide vnto the sea, Peace, and be still. So the winde ceased, and it was a great calme.
فَنَهَضَ، وَزَجَرَ الرِّيحَ، وَقَالَ لِلْبَحْرِ: «اصْمُتْ. اِخْرَسْ!» فَسَكَنَتِ الرِّيحُ وَسَادَ هُدُوءٌ تَامٌّ.٣٩
40 Then he saide vnto them, Why are ye so fearefull? how is it that ye haue no faith?
ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُمْ: «لِمَاذَا أَنْتُمْ خَائِفُونَ هكَذَا؟ كَيْفَ لاَ إِيْمَانَ لَكُمْ؟»٤٠
41 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, Who is this, that both the winde and sea obey him?
فَخَافُوا خَوْفاً شَدِيداً، وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ: «مَنْ هُوَ هذَا، حَتَّى إِنَّ الرِّيحَ وَالْبَحْرَ يُطِيعَانِهِ؟»٤١
