| 1 وَابْتَدَأَ أَيْضًا يُعَلِّمُ عِنْدَ الْبَحْرِ، فَاجْتَمَعَ إِلَيْهِ جَمْعٌ كَثِيرٌ حَتَّى إِنَّهُ دَخَلَ السَّفِينَةَ وَجَلَسَ عَلَى الْبَحْرِ، وَالْجَمْعُ كُلُّهُ كَانَ عِنْدَ الْبَحْرِ عَلَى الأَرْضِ. | 1 And he began again to teach by the sea side: and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he entered into a ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land. |
|
| 2 فَكَانَ يُعَلِّمُهُمْ كَثِيرًا بِأَمْثَال. وَقَالَ لَهُمْ فِي تَعْلِيمِهِ: | 2 And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine, |
|
| 3 «اسْمَعُوا! هُوَذَا الزَّارِعُ قَدْ خَرَجَ لِيَزْرَعَ، | 3 Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow: |
|
| 4 وَفِيمَا هُوَ يَزْرَعُ سَقَطَ بَعْضٌ عَلَى الطَّرِيقِ، فَجَاءَتْ طُيُورُ السَّمَاءِ وَأَكَلَتْهُ. | 4 And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up. |
|
| 5 وَسَقَطَ آخَرُ عَلَى مَكَانٍ مُحْجِرٍ، حَيْثُ لَمْ تَكُنْ لَهُ تُرْبَةٌ كَثِيرَةٌ، فَنَبَتَ حَالاً إِذْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ عُمْقُ أَرْضٍ. | 5 And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth: |
|
| 6 وَلكِنْ لَمَّا أَشْرَقَتِ الشَّمْسُ احْتَرَقَ، وَإِذْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ أَصْلٌ جَفَّ. | 6 But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away. |
|
| 7 وَسَقَطَ آخَرُ فِي الشَّوْكِ، فَطَلَعَ الشَّوْكُ وَخَنَقَهُ فَلَمْ يُعْطِ ثَمَرًا. | 7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit. |
|
| 8 وَسَقَطَ آخَرُ فِي الأَرْضِ الْجَيِّدَةِ، فَأَعْطَى ثَمَرًا يَصْعَدُ وَيَنْمُو، فَأَتَى وَاحِدٌ بِثَلاَثِينَ وَآخَرُ بِسِتِّينَ وَآخَرُ بِمِئَةٍ». | 8 And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred. |
|
| 9 ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُمْ: «مَنْ لَهُ أُذُنَانِ لِلسَّمْعِ، فَلْيَسْمَعْ» | 9 And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. |

الغاية من الأمثال | |
| 10 وَلَمَّا كَانَ وَحْدَهُ سَأَلَهُ الَّذِينَ حَوْلَهُ مَعَ الاثْنَيْ عَشَرَ عَنِ الْمَثَلِ، | 10 And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable. |
|
| 11 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «قَدْ أُعْطِيَ لَكُمْ أَنْ تَعْرِفُوا سِرَّ مَلَكُوتِ اللهِ. وَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ هُمْ مِنْ خَارِجٍ فَبِالأَمْثَالِ يَكُونُ لَهُمْ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ، | 11 And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables: |
|
| 12 لِكَيْ يُبْصِرُوا مُبْصِرِينَ وَلاَ يَنْظُرُوا، وَيَسْمَعُوا سَامِعِينَ وَلاَ يَفْهَمُوا، لِئَلاَّ يَرْجِعُوا فَتُغْفَرَ لَهُمْ خَطَايَاهُمْ». | 12 That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them. |

| 13 ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَمَا تَعْلَمُونَ هذَا الْمَثَلَ؟ فَكَيْفَ تَعْرِفُونَ جَمِيعَ الأَمْثَالِ؟ | 13 And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables? |
|
| 14 اَلزَّارِعُ يَزْرَعُ الْكَلِمَةَ. | 14 The sower soweth the word. |
|
| 15 وَهؤُلاَءِ هُمُ الَّذِينَ عَلَى الطَّرِيقِ: حَيْثُ تُزْرَعُ الْكَلِمَةُ، وَحِينَمَا يَسْمَعُونَ يَأْتِي الشَّيْطَانُ لِلْوَقْتِ وَيَنْزِعُ الْكَلِمَةَ الْمَزْرُوعَةَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ. | 15 And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts. |
|
| 16 وَهؤُلاَءِ كَذلِكَ هُمُ الَّذِينَ زُرِعُوا عَلَى الأَمَاكِنِ الْمُحْجِرَةِ: الَّذِينَ حِينَمَا يَسْمَعُونَ الْكَلِمَةَ يَقْبَلُونَهَا لِلْوَقْتِ بِفَرَحٍ، | 16 And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness; |
|
| 17 وَلكِنْ لَيْسَ لَهُمْ أَصْلٌ فِي ذَوَاتِهِمْ، بَلْ هُمْ إِلَى حِينٍ. فَبَعْدَ ذلِكَ إِذَا حَدَثَ ضِيقٌ أَوِ اضْطِهَادٌ مِنْ أَجْلِ الْكَلِمَةِ، فَلِلْوَقْتِ يَعْثُرُونَ. | 17 And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended. |
|
| 18 وَهؤُلاَءِ هُمُ الَّذِينَ زُرِعُوا بَيْنَ الشَّوْكِ: هؤُلاَءِ هُمُ الَّذِينَ يَسْمَعُونَ الْكَلِمَةَ، | 18 And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word, |
|
| 19 وَهُمُومُ هذَا الْعَالَمِ وَغُرُورُ الْغِنَى وَشَهَوَاتُ سَائِرِ الأَشْيَاءِ تَدْخُلُ وَتَخْنُقُ الْكَلِمَةَ فَتَصِيرُ بِلاَ ثَمَرٍ. | 19 And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful. |
|
| 20 وَهؤُلاَءِ هُمُ الَّذِينَ زُرِعُوا عَلَى الأَرْضِ الْجَيِّدَةِ: الَّذِينَ يَسْمَعُونَ الْكَلِمَةَ وَيَقْبَلُونَهَا، وَيُثْمِرُونَ: وَاحِدٌ ثَلاَثِينَ وَآخَرُ سِتِّينَ وَآخَرُ مِئَةً». | 20 And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred. |
|
| 21 ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُمْ: «هَلْ يُؤْتَى بِسِرَاجٍ لِيُوضَعَ تَحْتَ الْمِكْيَالِ أَوْ تَحْتَ السَّرِيرِ؟ أَلَيْسَ لِيُوضَعَ عَلَى الْمَنَارَةِ؟ | 21 And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick? |
|
| 22 لأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ شَيْءٌ خَفِيٌّ لاَ يُظْهَرُ، وَلاَ صَارَ مَكْتُومًا إِلاَّ لِيُعْلَنَ. | 22 For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad. |
|
| 23 إِنْ كَانَ لأَحَدٍ أُذُنَانِ لِلسَّمْعِ، فَلْيَسْمَعْ» | 23 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear. |
|

| 24 وَقَالَ لَهُمُ: «انْظُرُوا مَا تَسْمَعُونَ! بِالْكَيْلِ الَّذِي بِهِ تَكِيلُونَ يُكَالُ لَكُمْ وَيُزَادُ لَكُمْ أَيُّهَا السَّامِعُونَ. | 24 And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given. |
|
| 25 لأَنَّ مَنْ لَهُ سَيُعْطَى، وَأَمَّا مَنْ لَيْسَ لَهُ فَالَّذِي عِنْدَهُ سَيُؤْخَذُ مِنْهُ». | 25 For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath. |

| 26 وَقَالَ: «هكَذَا مَلَكُوتُ اللهِ: كَأَنَّ إِنْسَانًا يُلْقِي الْبِذَارَ عَلَى الأَرْضِ، | 26 And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground; |
|
| 27 وَيَنَامُ وَيَقُومُ لَيْلاً وَنَهَارًا، وَالْبِذَارُ يَطْلُعُ وَيَنْمُو، وَهُوَ لاَ يَعْلَمُ كَيْفَ، | 27 And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how. |
|
| 28 لأَنَّ الأَرْضَ مِنْ ذَاتِهَا تَأْتِي بِثَمَرٍ. أَوَّلاً نَبَاتًا، ثُمَّ سُنْبُلاً، ثُمَّ قَمْحًا مَلآنَ فِي السُّنْبُلِ. | 28 For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear. |
|
| 29 وَأَمَّا مَتَى أَدْرَكَ الثَّمَرُ، فَلِلْوَقْتِ يُرْسِلُ الْمِنْجَلَ لأَنَّ الْحَصَادَ قَدْ حَضَرَ». | 29 But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come. |

| 30 وَقَالَ: «بِمَاذَا نُشَبِّهُ مَلَكُوتَ اللهِ؟ أَوْ بِأَيِّ مَثَل نُمَثِّلُهُ؟ | 30 And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it? |
|
| 31 مِثْلُ حَبَّةِ خَرْدَل، مَتَى زُرِعَتْ فِي الأَرْضِ فَهِيَ أَصْغَرُ جَمِيعِ الْبُذُورِ الَّتِي عَلَى الأَرْضِ. | 31 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth: |
|
| 32 وَلكِنْ مَتَى زُرِعَتْ تَطْلُعُ وَتَصِيرُ أَكْبَرَ جَمِيعِ الْبُقُولِ، وَتَصْنَعُ أَغْصَانًا كَبِيرَةً، حَتَّى تَسْتَطِيعَ طُيُورُ السَّمَاءِ أَنْ تَتَآوَى تَحْتَ ظِلِّهَا». | 32 But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it. |
|
| 33 وَبِأَمْثَال كَثِيرَةٍ مِثْلِ هذِهِ كَانَ يُكَلِّمُهُمْ حَسْبَمَا كَانُوا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ أَنْ يَسْمَعُوا، | 33 And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it. |
|
| 34 وَبِدُونِ مَثَل لَمْ يَكُنْ يُكَلِّمُهُمْ. وَأَمَّا عَلَى انْفِرَادٍ فَكَانَ يُفَسِّرُ لِتَلاَمِيذِهِ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ. | 34 But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples. |

|
| 36 فَصَرَفُوا الْجَمْعَ وَأَخَذُوهُ كَمَا كَانَ فِي السَّفِينَةِ. وَكَانَتْ مَعَهُ أَيْضًا سُفُنٌ أُخْرَى صَغِيرَةٌ. | 36 And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships. |
|
| 37 فَحَدَثَ نَوْءُ رِيحٍ عَظِيمٌ، فَكَانَتِ الأَمْوَاجُ تَضْرِبُ إِلَى السَّفِينَةِ حَتَّى صَارَتْ تَمْتَلِئُ. | 37 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. |
|
| 38 وَكَانَ هُوَ فِي الْمُؤَخَّرِ عَلَى وِسَادَةٍ نَائِمًا. فَأَيْقَظُوهُ وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «يَا مُعَلِّمُ، أَمَا يَهُمُّكَ أَنَّنَا نَهْلِكُ؟» | 38 And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish? |
|
| 39 فَقَامَ وَانْتَهَرَ الرِّيحَ، وَقَالَ لِلْبَحْرِ: «اسْكُتْ! اِبْكَمْ!». فَسَكَنَتِ الرِّيحُ وَصَارَ هُدُوءٌ عَظِيمٌ. | 39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. |
|
| 40 وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «مَا بَالُكُمْ خَائِفِينَ هكَذَا؟ كَيْفَ لاَ إِيمَانَ لَكُمْ؟» | 40 And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith? |
|
| 41 فَخَافُوا خَوْفًا عَظِيمًا، وَقَالُوا بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ: «مَنْ هُوَ هذَا؟ فَإِنَّ الرِّيحَ أَيْضًا وَالْبَحْرَ يُطِيعَانِهِ!». | 41 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him? |
|
