The Gospel of Mark
Eastern Peshitta Aramaic
 

Chapter 5

1 ܘܐܬܐ ܠܥܒܪܐ ܕܝܡܐ ܠܐܬܪܐ ܕܓܕܪܝܐ
And he came to the other shore of the sea, to the country of the Gadarenes.
2 ܘܟܕ ܢܦܩ ܡܢ ܤܦܝܢܬܐ ܦܓܥ ܒܗ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܩܒܘܪܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܒܗ ܪܘܚܐ ܛܢܦܬܐ
And as he went out  of the boat, there met him a man from the tombs, in whom was an unclean spirit.
3 ܘܥܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܒܝܬ ܩܒܘܪܐ ܘܒܫܫܠܬܐ ܐܢܫ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܗܘܐ ܠܡܐܤܪܗ
And he lived in the place of tombs; and no one could restrain him with chains:
4 ܡܛܠ ܕܟܠ ܐܡܬܝ ܕܒܤܘܛܡܐ ܘܒܫܫܠܬܐ ܡܬܐܤܪ ܗܘܐ ܫܫܠܬܐ ܡܬܒܪ ܗܘܐ ܘܤܘܛܡܐ ܡܦܤܩ ܗܘܐ ܘܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܡܫܟܚ ܗܘܐ ܠܡܟܒܫܗ
because, as often as he had been bond with restraints and chains, he had broken the chains and broke the restraints: and no one could tame him.
5 ܘܒܟܠ ܙܒܢ ܒܠܠܝܐ ܘܒܐܝܡܡܐ ܒܒܝܬ ܩܒܘܪܐ ܘܒܛܘܪܐ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܘܩܥܐ ܗܘܐ ܘܡܨܠܦ ܢܦܫܗ ܒܟܐܦܐ
And constantly, by night and day, amid the tombs, he screamed and gashed himself with stones.
6 ܟܕ ܚܙܐ ܕܝܢ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܡܢ ܪܘܚܩܐ ܪܗܛ ܤܓܕ ܠܗ
And when he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran up and did homage him;
7 ܘܩܥܐ ܒܩܠܐ ܪܡܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܐ ܠܝ ܘܠܟ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܡܪܝܡܐ ܡܘܡܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ ܒܐܠܗܐ ܕܠܐ ܬܫܢܩܢܝ
and shrieked with a loud voice, and said: What have you to do with me, Jesus, you Son of the High God ? I implore you by God, that you not torment me.
8 ܐܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܓܝܪ ܦܘܩ ܡܢ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܪܘܚܐ ܛܢܦܐ
For he had said to him: Unclean spirit, come out of the man.
9 ܘܫܐܠܗ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܫܡܟ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܠܓܝܘܢ ܫܡܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܤܓܝܐܐ ܚܢܢ
And he asked him: What is your name? And he answered him: Our name is Legion; for we are many.
10 ܘܒܥܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܢܗ ܤܓܝ ܕܠܐ ܢܫܕܪܝܘܗܝ ܠܒܪ ܡܢ ܐܬܪܐ
And he pleaded earnestly with him, that he would not send him away from that country.
11 ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܬܡܢ ܠܘܬ ܛܘܪܐ ܒܩܪܐ ܪܒܬܐ ܕܚܙܝܪܐ ܕܪܥܝܐ
And there was there by the mountain, a great herd of pigs grazing.
12 ܘܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܢܗ ܗܢܘܢ ܫܐܕܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܫܕܪܝܢ ܥܠ ܗܢܘܢ ܚܙܝܪܐ ܕܒܗܘܢ ܢܥܘܠ
And the demons pleaded with him, and said: Send us upon those pigs, that we may enter them.
13 ܘܐܦܤ ܠܗܘܢ ܘܢܦܩ ܪܘܚܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܛܢܦܬܐ ܘܥܠ ܒܚܙܝܪܐ ܘܪܗܛܬ ܗܝ ܒܩܪܐ ܠܫܩܝܦܐ ܘܢܦܠܬ ܒܝܡܐ ܐܝܟ ܬܪܝܢ ܐܠܦܝܢ ܘܐܬܚܢܩܘ ܒܡܝܐ
And he allowed them to. And those unclean spirits went out, and entered the pigs: and the herd, of about two thousand, ran to a cliff, and fell into the sea, and were drown in the waters.
14 ܘܗܢܘܢ ܕܪܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܥܪܩܘ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܒܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܘܐܦ ܒܩܘܪܝܐ ܘܢܦܩܘ ܠܡܚܙܐ ܡܕܡ ܕܗܘܐ
And they who tended them, fled and spoke of it in the city and in the villages: and they came out to see what had happened.
15 ܘܐܬܘ ܠܘܬ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܚܙܐܘܗܝ ܠܗܘ ܕܫܐܕܘܗܝ ܟܕ ܠܒܝܫ ܘܡܢܟܦ ܘܝܬܒ ܗܘ ܕܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܒܗ ܠܓܝܘܢ ܘܕܚܠܘ
And: they came to Jesus, and saw him who had been possessed, in who had been the legion, clothed, and sane, and sitting; and they became afraid.
16 ܘܐܫܬܥܝܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܚܙܘ ܕܐܝܟܢܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘ ܕܫܐܕܘܗܝ ܘܐܦ ܥܠ ܗܢܘܢ ܚܙܝܪܐ
And those who had seen it told them what happened to the one who had the demons, and also concerning the pigs. 
17 ܘܫܪܝܘ ܒܥܝܢ ܡܢܗ ܕܢܐܙܠ ܠܗ ܡܢ ܬܚܘܡܗܘܢ
And they began to beg him, that he would go from their district.
18 ܘܟܕ ܤܠܩ ܠܤܦܝܢܬܐ ܒܥܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܢܗ ܗܘ ܕܫܐܕܘܗܝ ܕܥܡܗ ܢܗܘܐ
And as he boarded the boat, the man who had demons asked that he might proceed with him.
19 ܘܠܐ ܫܒܩܗ ܐܠܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܙܠ ܠܒܝܬܟ ܠܘܬ ܐܢܫܝܟ ܘܐܫܬܥܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܕܡ ܕܥܒܕ ܠܟ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܕܐܬܪܚܡ ܥܠܝܟ
And he granted him not, but said to him: Go home to your people, and tell them what the Lord has done for you, and has had compassion you.
20 ܘܐܙܠ ܘܫܪܝ ܡܟܪܙ ܒܥܤܪܬ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܡܕܡ ܕܥܒܕ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܟܠܗܘܢ ܬܡܝܗܝܢ ܗܘܘ
And he went, and began to proclaim in Decapolis, what Jesus had done for him. And they were all amazed.
21 ܘܟܕ ܥܒܪ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܤܦܝܢܬܐ ܠܗܘ ܥܒܪܐ ܬܘܒ ܐܬܟܢܫܘ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܟܢܫܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܟܕ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܥܠ ܝܕ ܝܡܐ
And when Jesus had crossed by boat to the other side, great crowds again gathered about him as he was on the shore of the water.
22 ܘܐܬܐ ܚܕ ܕܫܡܗ ܝܘܐܪܫ ܡܢ ܪܒܝ ܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܘܟܕ ܚܙܝܗܝ ܢܦܠ ܠܘܬ ܪܓܠܘܗܝ
And one of the heads of the synagogue, whose name was Jairus, came, and, on seeing him, fell at his feet, 
23 ܘܒܥܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܢܗ ܤܓܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܒܪܬܝ ܒܝܫܐܝܬ ܥܒܝܕܐ ܬܐ ܤܝܡ ܐܝܕܟ ܥܠܝܗ ܘܬܬܚܠܡ ܘܬܚܐ
and pleaded earnestly with him, and said to him: My daughter is very sick; but come and lay your hand on her, and she will be cured, and will live.
24 ܘܐܙܠ ܥܡܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܕܒܝܩ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܟܢܫܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܘܚܒܨܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ
And Jesus went with him; and a large crowd followed him, and pressed all around him.
25 ܐܢܬܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܚܕܐ ܕܐܝܬܝܗ ܗܘܬ ܒܡܪܕܝܬܐ ܕܕܡܐ ܫܢܝܢ ܬܪܬܥܤܪܐ
And a woman who had hemorrhaged for twelve years,
26 ܐܝܕܐ ܕܤܓܝ ܤܒܠܬ ܡܢ ܐܤܘܬܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܘܐܦܩܬ ܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܘܡܕܡ ܠܐ ܐܬܥܕܪܬ ܐܠܐ ܐܦ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܐܬܐܠܨܬ
and who had suffered much from many physicians, and had spent all she had, and benefited not, but was even more afflicted;
27 ܟܕ ܫܡܥܬ ܥܠ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܬܬ ܒܚܒܨܐ ܕܟܢܫܐ ܡܢ ܒܤܬܪܗ ܩܪܒܬ ܠܠܒܘܫܗ
when she heard of Jesus, came behind him in the push of the crowd, and touched his cloak
28 ܐܡܪܐ ܗܘܬ ܓܝܪ ܕܐܦܢ ܠܠܒܘܫܗ ܩܪܒܐ ܐܢܐ ܚܝܐ ܐܢܐ
For she said: If I just touch his clothes, I shall live.
29 ܘܡܚܕܐ ܝܒܫܬ ܡܥܝܢܐ ܕܕܡܗ ܘܐܪܓܫܬ ܒܦܓܪܗ ܕܐܬܐܤܝܬ ܡܢ ܡܚܘܬܗ
And immediately the flow of her blood dried up; and she felt in her body that she was cured of her plague.
30 ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܡܚܕܐ ܝܕܥ ܒܢܦܫܗ ܕܚܝܠܐ ܢܦܩ ܡܢܗ ܘܐܬܦܢܝ ܠܘܬ ܟܢܫܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܢܘ ܩܪܒ ܠܡܐܢܝ
And Jesus at once knew in himself, that healing power had left from him: and he turned to the crowd, and said: Who touched my clothes ?
31 ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܚܙܐ ܐܢܬ ܠܟܢܫܐ ܕܚܒܨܝܢ ܠܟ ܘܐܡܪ ܐܢܬ ܡܢܘ ܩܪܒ ܠܝ
And his disciples said to him: You see the crowd that pushes in on you; and you say, Who touched me ?
32 ܘܚܐܪ ܗܘܐ ܕܢܚܙܐ ܡܢܘ ܗܕܐ ܥܒܕ
And he looked all around to see who had done this.
33 ܗܝ ܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܟܕ ܕܚܝܠܐ ܘܪܬܝܬܐ ܕܝܕܥܬ ܡܐ ܕܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܐܬܬ ܢܦܠܬ ܩܕܡܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪܬ ܠܗ ܟܠܗ ܫܪܪܐ
And the woman, fearful and trembling, for she realized what had taken place in her, came and fell down before him, and told him the whole truth.
34 ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܒܪܬܝ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܟܝ ܐܚܝܬܟܝ ܙܠܝ ܒܫܠܡܐ ܘܗܘܝܬܝ ܚܠܝܡܐ ܡܢ ܡܚܘܬܟܝ
And he said to her: My daughter, your faith has cured you: go in peace; and be freed of your illness. 
35 ܘܥܕ ܗܘ ܡܡܠܠ ܐܬܘ ܡܢ ܕܒܝܬ ܪܒ ܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܕܒܪܬܟ ܡܝܬܬ ܠܡܢܐ ܡܟܝܠ ܡܥܡܠ ܐܢܬ ܠܡܠܦܢܐ
And while he was speaking, some of the house of the head of the synagogue came, and said: Your daughter is dead: why trouble the teacher ? 
36 ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܫܡܥ ܠܡܠܬܐ ܕܐܡܪܘ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘ ܪܒ ܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܠܐ ܬܕܚܠ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܗܝܡܢ
But Jesus heard the words they spoke, and said to the head of the synagogue: Do not fear; only believe. 
37 ܘܠܐ ܫܒܩ ܠܐܢܫ ܕܢܐܙܠ ܥܡܗ ܐܠܐ ܠܫܡܥܘܢ ܟܐܦܐ ܘܠܝܥܩܘܒ ܘܠܝܘܚܢܢ ܐܚܘܗܝ ܕܝܥܩܘܒ
And he asked that no one to go with him, except Simon Cephas, and James, and John the brother of James. 
38 ܘܐܬܘ ܠܒܝܬܐ ܕܗܘ ܪܒ ܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܘܚܙܐ ܕܪܗܝܒܝܢ ܘܒܟܝܢ ܘܡܝܠܠܝܢ
And they came to the house of the head of the synagogue; and he saw, that they were in a tumult, and weeping, and howling.
39 ܘܥܠ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܢܐ ܪܗܝܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܘܒܟܝܢ ܛܠܝܬܐ ܠܐ ܡܝܬܬ ܐܠܐ ܕܡܟܐ ܗܝ
And he entered in and said to them: Why do you make a commotion, and weep? The child is not dead, but is asleep. 
40 ܘܓܚܟܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܦܩ ܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܘܕܒܪ ܠܐܒܘܗ ܕܛܠܝܬܐ ܘܠܐܡܗ ܘܠܗܢܘܢ ܕܥܡܗ ܘܥܠ ܠܐܝܟܐ ܕܪܡܝܐ ܗܘܬ ܛܠܝܬܐ
At this they laughed at him. But Jesus put them all out. And he took the girl's father, and her mother, and his companions, and entered into where the child lay.
41 ܘܐܚܕ ܒܐܝܕܗ ܕܛܠܝܬܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܛܠܝܬܐ ܩܘܡܝ
And he took the child's hand, and said to her: Little girl, get up.
42 ܘܒܪ ܫܥܬܗ ܩܡܬ ܛܠܝܬܐ ܘܡܗܠܟܐ ܗܘܬ ܐܝܬܝܗ ܗܘܬ ܓܝܪ ܒܪܬ ܫܢܝܢ ܬܪܬܥܤܪܐ ܘܡܬܕܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܘܡܪܐ ܪܒܐ
And  immediately the child got up, and walked; for she was twelve years old. And they were astonished beyond belief.
43 ܘܦܩܕ ܐܢܘܢ ܤܓܝ ܕܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܢܕܥ ܗܕܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܕܢܬܠܘܢ ܠܗ ܠܡܠܥܤ
And he enjoined them strictly, that no one should know of it. And he ordered that they should give her something to eat.

Chapter 6

1 ܘܢܦܩ ܡܢ ܬܡܢ ܘܐܬܐ ܠܡܕܝܢܬܗ ܘܕܒܝܩܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ
And Jesus departed from there and came to his own town, and his disciples followed him.
2 ܘܟܕ ܗܘܬ ܫܒܬܐ ܫܪܝ ܠܡܠܦܘ ܒܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܘܤܓܝܐܐ ܕܫܡܥܘ ܐܬܕܡܪܘ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܐܝܡܟܐ ܠܗ ܗܠܝܢ ܠܗܢܐ ܘܐܝܕܐ ܗܝ ܚܟܡܬܐ ܕܐܬܝܗܒܬ ܠܗ ܕܚܝܠܐ ܕܐܝܟ ܗܠܝܢ ܒܐܝܕܘܗܝ ܢܗܘܘܢ
And when the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue. And many who heard him were astonished, and said: Where did he get all this ? And what kind of wisdom is this, which is given to him! and that such miracles are done by his hands!
3 ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܗܢܐ ܢܓܪܐ ܒܪܗ ܕܡܪܝܡ ܘܐܚܘܗܝ ܕܝܥܩܘܒ ܘܕܝܘܤܐ ܘܕܝܗܘܕܐ ܘܕܫܡܥܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܗܐ ܐܚܘܬܗ ܬܢܢ ܠܘܬܢ ܘܡܬܟܫܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܗ
Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and the brother of James and of Joses and of Judas and of Simon ? And are not his sisters here with us? And they were confounded by him.
4 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܝܬ ܢܒܝܐ ܕܨܥܝܪ ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܒܡܕܝܢܬܗ ܘܒܝܬ ܐܚܝܢܘܗܝ ܘܒܒܝܬܗ
And Jesus said to them: There is no prophet who has little honor, except in his own town, and among his family, and at home.
5 ܘܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܗܘܐ ܕܢܥܒܕ ܬܡܢ ܐܦ ܠܐ ܚܕ ܚܝܠܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܕܥܠ ܟܪܝܗܐ ܩܠܝܠ ܤܡ ܐܝܕܗ ܘܐܤܝ
And he could not there do even one miracle, apart from a few sick when he laid his hand on them, and healed them.
6 ܘܡܬܕܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܒܚܤܝܪܘܬ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܗܘܢ ܘܡܬܟܪܟ ܗܘܐ ܒܩܘܪܝܐ ܟܕ ܡܠܦ
And he worried at the lack of their faith. And he traveled about the villages and taught.
7 ܘܩܪܐ ܠܬܪܥܤܪܬܗ ܘܫܪܝ ܕܢܫܕܪ ܐܢܘܢ ܬܪܝܢ ܬܪܝܢ ܘܝܗܒ ܠܗܘܢ ܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܥܠ ܪܘܚܐ ܛܢܦܬܐ ܕܢܦܩܘܢ
And he called his twelve, and began to send them forth, in pairs; and he gave them authority over unclean spirits, to expel them.
8 ܘܦܩܕ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܢܫܩܠܘܢ ܡܕܡ ܠܐܘܪܚܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܫܒܛܐ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܠܐ ܬܪܡܠܐ ܘܠܐ ܠܚܡܐ ܘܠܐ ܢܚܫܐ ܒܟܝܤܝܗܘܢ
And he commanded them to take nothing for the journey, except a staff only; neither a satchel, nor bread, nor coin in their purses;
9 ܐܠܐ ܢܤܐܢܘܢ ܛܠܪܐ ܘܠܐ ܢܠܒܫܘܢ ܬܪܬܝܢ ܟܘܬܝܢܝܢ
but to wear sandals, and not bring two coats.
10 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܠܐܝܢܐ ܒܝܬܐ ܕܥܐܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܬܡܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܢܦܩܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܢ ܬܡܢ
And  he said to them: Into whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave the place.
11 ܘܟܠ ܡܢ ܕܠܐ ܢܩܒܠܘܢܟܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܢܫܡܥܘܢܟܘܢ ܡܐ ܕܢܦܩܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܢ ܬܡܢ ܦܨܘ ܚܠܐ ܕܒܬܚܬܝܐ ܕܪܓܠܝܟܘܢ ܠܤܗܕܘܬܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܢܗܘܐ ܢܝܚ ܠܤܕܘܡ ܘܠܥܡܘܪܐ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܕܕܝܢܐ ܐܘ ܠܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܗܝ
And whoever will not receive you, nor hear you, when you go out from that place shake off the dust that is under your feet, for a testimony towards them. Truly I say to you, There will be relief for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment rather than to be that town.
12 ܘܢܦܩܘ ܗܘܘ ܘܐܟܪܙܘ ܕܢܬܘܒܘܢ
And they went out  and proclaimed the need of repentance.
13 ܘܫܐܕܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܡܦܩܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܡܫܚܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܡܫܚܐ ܟܪܝܗܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܘܡܐܤܝܢ ܗܘܘ
And they cast out many demons, and many of the sick they anointed with oil, and cured them.
14 ܘܫܡܥ ܗܪܘܕܤ ܡܠܟܐ ܥܠ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܬܝܕܥ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܓܝܪ ܫܡܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܡܥܡܕܢܐ ܩܡ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܡܝܬܐ ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܚܝܠܐ ܡܤܬܥܪܝܢ ܒܗ
And Herod the king heard of Jesus, for his name had become known to him, and he said: John the Baptist has risen from the dead, and that is why miraculous works are done by him.
15 ܐܚܪܢܐ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܐܠܝܐ ܗܘ ܘܐܚܪܢܐ ܕܢܒܝܐ ܗܘ ܐܝܟ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܢܒܝܐ
Others said: He is Elijah: and others: He is a prophet equal to any one of the prophets.
16 ܟܕ ܫܡܥ ܕܝܢ ܗܪܘܕܤ ܐܡܪ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܗܘ ܕܐܢܐ ܦܤܩܬ ܪܫܗ ܗܘ ܩܡ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܡܝܬܐ
But when Herod heard of him, he said:  He is that John who I beheaded: he has risen from the dead.
17 ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܗܪܘܕܤ ܫܕܪ ܗܘܐ ܐܚܕܗ ܠܝܘܚܢܢ ܘܐܤܪܗ ܒܝܬ ܐܤܝܪܐ ܡܛܠ ܗܪܘܕܝܐ ܐܢܬܬ ܦܝܠܝܦܘܤ ܐܚܘܗܝ ܗܝ ܕܢܤܒ
For Herod had sent and arrested John and threw him in prison, on account of Herodias, his brother Philips wife, whom he had taken.
18 ܐܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܓܝܪ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܠܗܪܘܕܤ ܕܠܐ ܫܠܝܛ ܠܟ ܕܬܤܒ ܐܢܬܬ ܐܚܘܟ
For John had said to Herod: It is not permitted for you to take your brother's wife.
19 ܗܝ ܕܝܢ ܗܪܘܕܝܐ ܠܚܝܡܐ ܗܘܬ ܠܗ ܘܨܒܝܢ ܗܘܬ ܠܡܩܛܠܗ ܘܠܐ ܡܫܟܚܐ ܗܘܬ
And Herodias herself was an enemy to him, and wished to kill him, but was unable.
20 ܗܪܘܕܤ ܓܝܪ ܕܚܠ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܥܠ ܕܝܕܥ ܗܘܐ ܕܓܒܪܐ ܗܘ ܙܕܝܩܐ ܘܩܕܝܫܐ ܘܡܢܛܪ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܘܤܓܝܐܬܐ ܫܡܥ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܘܥܒܕ ܘܒܤܝܡܐܝܬ ܫܡܥ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ
For Herod was afraid of John, knowing him to be a just and holy man: and he watched him, and listened to him in many things and did thus, and he heard him with interest.
21 ܘܗܘܐ ܝܘܡܐ ܝܕܝܥܐ ܟܕ ܗܪܘܕܤ ܒܒܝܬ ܝܠܕܗ ܚܫܡܝܬܐ ܥܒܕ ܗܘܐ ܠܪܘܪܒܢܘܗܝ ܘܠܟܝܠܝܪܟܐ ܘܠܪܫܐ ܕܓܠܝܠܐ
And there was a special day, when Herod made a banquet, in his own house, for his nobles and the chiliarchs and the heads of Galilee.
22 ܘܥܠܬ ܒܪܬܗ ܕܗܪܘܕܝܐ ܪܩܕܬ ܘܫܦܪܬ ܠܗ ܠܗܪܘܕܤ ܘܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܤܡܝܟܝܢ ܥܡܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܠܟܐ ܠܛܠܝܬܐ ܫܐܠܝ ܡܢܝ ܡܕܡ ܕܨܒܝܐ ܐܢܬܝ ܘܐܬܠ ܠܟܝ
And the daughter of Herodias came in, and danced; and she pleased Herod and those reclining with him. And the king said to the maiden: Ask of me what you please, and I will give it you.
23 ܘܝܡܐ ܠܗ ܕܡܕܡ ܕܬܫܐܠܝܢ ܐܬܠ ܠܟܝ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܦܠܓܗ ܕܡܠܟܘܬܝ
And he swore to her: Whatever you should ask, I will give you, even to half my kingdom.
24 ܗܝ ܕܝܢ ܢܦܩܬ ܘܐܡܪܐ ܠܐܡܗ ܡܢܐ ܐܫܐܠܝܘܗܝ ܐܡܪܐ ܠܗ ܪܫܗ ܕܝܘܚܢܢ ܡܥܡܕܢܐ
And she went out, and said to her mother: What should I ask him for ? She said to her: The head of John the Baptist.
25 ܘܡܚܕܐ ܥܠܬ ܒܒܛܝܠܘܬܐ ܠܘܬ ܡܠܟܐ ܘܐܡܪܐ ܠܗ ܨܒܝܐ ܐܢܐ ܒܗܕܐ ܫܥܬܐ ܕܬܬܠ ܠܝ ܥܠ ܦܝܢܟܐ ܪܫܗ ܕܝܘܚܢܢ ܡܥܡܕܢܐ
And she soon hurried back to the king, and said: I desire that you, this moment, give me on a platter, the head of John the Baptist.
26 ܘܟܪܝܬ ܠܗ ܤܓܝ ܠܡܠܟܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܝܢ ܡܘܡܬܐ ܘܡܛܠ ܤܡܝܟܐ ܠܐ ܨܒܐ ܕܢܓܠܙܝܗ
And the king bitterly regretted the request, but due to the oath, and on account of the guests, he would not deny her:
27 ܐܠܐ ܡܚܕܐ ܫܕܪ ܡܠܟܐ ܐܤܦܘܩܠܛܪܐ ܘܦܩܕ ܕܢܝܬܐ ܪܫܗ ܕܝܘܚܢܢ ܘܐܙܠ ܦܤܩܗ ܪܫܗ ܕܝܘܚܢܢ ܒܝܬ ܐܤܝܪܐ
and the king immediately sent an executioner, and ordered to him to bring the head of John. And he went, and beheaded John in the prison;
28 ܘܐܝܬܝ ܒܦܝܢܟܐ ܘܝܗܒ ܠܛܠܝܬܐ ܘܗܝ ܛܠܝܬܐ ܝܗܒܬ ܠܐܡܗ
and brought it on a platter, and gave it to the maiden; and the maiden gave it to her mother.
29 ܘܫܡܥܘ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܐܬܘ ܫܩܠܘ ܫܠܕܗ ܘܤܡܘ ܒܒܝܬ ܩܒܘܪܐ
And his disciples heard; they came and took away the body and laid it in a Tomb.
30 ܘܐܬܟܢܫܘ ܫܠܝܚܐ ܠܘܬ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܠܗ ܟܠ ܡܐ ܕܥܒܕܘ ܘܟܠ ܡܐ ܕܐܠܦܘ
And the Apostles gathered before Jesus, and reported all they had done, and all they had taught.
31 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܬܘ ܠܟܘܢ ܢܐܙܠ ܠܕܒܪܐ ܒܠܚܘܕܝܢ ܘܐܬܬܢܝܚܘ ܩܠܝܠ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܘ ܓܝܪ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܕܐܙܠܝܢ ܘܐܬܝܢ ܘܠܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܬܪܐ ܐܦ ܠܐ ܠܡܐܟܠ
And he said to them: Come, let us go by ourselves into a desert and rest a some. For there were many coming and going, and they had not time to even to eat bread.
32 ܘܐܙܠܘ ܠܐܬܪܐ ܚܘܪܒܐ ܒܤܦܝܢܬܐ ܒܠܚܘܕܝܗܘܢ
And they went by boat to a deserted place by themselves.
33 ܘܚܙܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܟܕ ܐܙܠܝܢ ܘܐܫܬܘܕܥܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܒܝܒܫܐ ܪܗܛܘ ܡܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܩܕܡܘܗܝ ܠܬܡܢ
But many saw them as they  departed, and knew of it; and from all the towns, they ran there by land before him.
34 ܘܢܦܩ ܝܫܘܥ ܚܙܐ ܟܢܫܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܘܐܬܪܚܡ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܕܕܡܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܥܪܒܐ ܕܠܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܪܥܝܐ ܘܫܪܝ ܗܘܐ ܠܡܠܦܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܤܓܝܐܬܐ
And Jesus disembarked and saw great crowds: and he pitied them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. And he began to teach them many things. 
35 ܘܟܕ ܗܘܐ ܥܕܢܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܩܪܒܘ ܠܘܬܗ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܕܗܢܐ ܐܬܪܐ ܚܘܪܒܐ ܗܘ ܘܥܕܢܐ ܤܓܝ
And when the time was getting late, his disciples came to him, and said to him: This is a deserted place, and the time is getting late.
36 ܫܪܝ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܢܐܙܠܘܢ ܠܐܓܘܪܤܐ ܕܚܕܪܝܢ ܘܠܩܘܪܝܐ ܘܢܙܒܢܘܢ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܚܡܐ ܠܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܡܕܡ ܠܡܐܟܠ
Dismiss them, that they may go into the fields around us and into the villages, and may buy themselves something to eat.
37 ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܗܒܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܡܠܥܤ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܢܐܙܠ ܢܙܒܢ ܕܡܐܬܝܢ ܕܝܢܪܝܢ ܠܚܡܐ ܘܢܬܠ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܥܤܝܢ
And he said to them: You give them something to eat. They say to him: Should we go and buy bread for two hundred denarii, and give them that to eat ?
38 ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܙܠܘ ܚܙܘ ܟܡܐ ܠܚܡܝܢ ܐܝܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܗܪܟܐ ܘܟܕ ܚܙܘ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܚܡܫܐ ܠܚܡܝܢ ܘܬܪܝܢ ܢܘܢܝܢ
And he said to them: Go and see how many loaves you have here. And when they had, they said to him: Five loaves and two fish.
39 ܘܦܩܕ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܢܤܡܟܘܢ ܠܟܠܢܫ ܤܡܟܝܢ ܤܡܟܝܢ ܥܠ ܥܤܒܐ
And he told them make the people sit on the grass by groups.
40 ܘܐܤܬܡܟܘ ܤܡܟܝܢ ܤܡܟܝܢ ܕܡܐܐ ܡܐܐ ܘܕܚܡܫܝܢ ܚܡܫܝܢ
And they sat by groups of a hundred, and of fifty.
41 ܘܢܤܒ ܗܢܘܢ ܚܡܫܐ ܠܚܡܝܢ ܘܬܪܝܢ ܢܘܢܝܢ ܘܚܪ ܒܫܡܝܐ ܘܒܪܟ ܘܩܨܐ ܠܚܡܐ ܘܝܗܒ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܕܢܤܝܡܘܢ ܠܗܘܢ ܘܗܢܘܢ ܬܪܝܢ ܢܘܢܝܢ ܦܠܓܘ ܠܟܠܗܘܢ
And he took the five loaves and the two fish, and looked towards heaven, and blessed and broke the bread, and gave to his disciples to put before them: and they divided the two fish among them all.
42 ܘܐܟܠܘ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܘܤܒܥܘ
And they all ate, and were filled.
43 ܘܫܩܠܘ ܩܨܝܐ ܬܪܥܤܪ ܩܘܦܝܢܝܢ ܟܕ ܡܠܝܢ ܘܡܢ ܢܘܢܐ
And they took up twelve baskets full of the scraps and of the fish.
44 ܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܝܢ ܕܐܟܠܘ ܠܚܡܐ ܚܡܫܐ ܐܠܦܝܢ ܓܒܪܝܢ
And those who had eaten bread  were five thousand men.
45 ܘܡܚܕܐ ܐܠܨ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܕܢܤܩܘܢ ܠܤܦܝܢܬܐ ܘܢܐܙܠܘܢ ܩܕܡܘܗܝ ܠܥܒܪܐ ܠܒܝܬ ܨܝܕܐ ܥܕ ܫܪܐ ܗܘ ܠܟܢܫܐ
And he immediately insisted his disciples go by boat before him to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he dismissed the crowds.
46 ܘܟܕ ܫܪܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܐܙܠ ܠܛܘܪܐ ܠܡܨܠܝܘ
And when  he had taken leave of them, he went to a mountain to pray.
47 ܟܕ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܪܡܫܐ ܤܦܝܢܬܐ ܐܝܬܝܗ ܗܘܬ ܡܨܥܬ ܝܡܐ ܘܗܘ ܒܠܚܘܕܘܗܝ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ
And  when evening came, the boat was in the middle of the lake, and him alone on land.
48 ܘܚܙܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܡܫܬܢܩܝܢ ܟܕ ܪܕܝܢ ܪܘܚܐ ܓܝܪ ܠܘܩܒܠܗܘܢ ܗܘܬ ܘܒܡܛܪܬܐ ܪܒܝܥܝܬܐ ܕܠܠܝܐ ܐܬܐ ܠܘܬܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܟܕ ܡܗܠܟ ܥܠ ܡܝܐ ܘܨܒܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܢܥܒܪ ܐܢܘܢ
And he  saw them straining themselves rowing; for the wind was against them. And in the fourth watch of the  night, Jesus came to them  walking on the water; and he came to walk by them. 
49 ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܚܙܐܘܗܝ ܕܡܗܠܟ ܥܠ ܡܝܐ ܘܤܒܪܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܚܙܘܐ ܗܘ ܕܓܠܐ ܘܩܥܘ
And they saw him walking on the water, and they thought that he was a ghost: and they cried out.
50 ܟܠܗܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܚܙܐܘܗܝ ܘܕܚܠܘ ܘܒܪ ܫܥܬܗ ܡܠܠ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܬܠܒܒܘ ܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܐ ܬܕܚܠܘܢ
For they all  saw him and were afraid. And he hastened to speak to them, and said to them:  Be brave; it is I; do not fear.
51 ܘܤܠܩ ܠܘܬܗܘܢ ܠܤܦܝܢܬܐ ܘܫܠܝܬ ܪܘܚܐ ܘܛܒ ܡܬܕܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܬܗܝܪܝܢ ܒܢܦܫܗܘܢ
And he got into the boat with them; and the wind died down.  And they were truly awed and astonished among themselves.
52 ܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܤܬܟܠܘ ܗܘܘ ܡܢ ܠܚܡܐ ܗܘ ܡܛܠ ܕܠܒܗܘܢ ܡܥܒܝ ܗܘܐ
For they had not understood about the bread; because they had closed minds.
53 ܘܟܕ ܥܒܪܘ ܥܒܪܐ ܐܬܘ ܠܐܪܥܐ ܕܓܢܤܪ
And when they had made the other shore, they came to the land of Gennesaret.
54 ܘܟܕ ܢܦܩܘ ܡܢ ܤܦܝܢܬܐ ܒܪ ܫܥܬܗ ܐܤܬܟܠܘܗܝ ܐܢܫܝ ܐܬܪܐ
And when they  got out of the ship, immediately the men of the place recognized him.
55 ܘܪܗܛܘ ܒܟܠܗ ܐܪܥܐ ܗܝ ܘܫܪܝܘ ܠܡܝܬܝܘ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܒܝܫܐܝܬ ܥܒܝܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܫܩܝܠܝܢ ܠܗܘܢ ܒܥܪܤܬܐ ܠܐܝܟܐ ܕܫܡܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ
And they ran throughout  that region, and began to bring to them that were sick, carrying them on beds to where they heard he was.
56 ܘܐܝܟܐ ܕܥܐܠ ܗܘܐ ܠܩܘܪܝܐ ܘܠܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܒܫܘܩܐ ܤܝܡܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܟܪܝܗܐ ܘܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܢܗ ܕܐܦܢ ܠܟܢܦܐ ܕܠܒܘܫܗ ܢܩܪܒܘܢ ܘܟܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܩܪܒܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܡܬܐܤܝܢ ܗܘܘ
And wherever he entered into villages or towns, the sick were put in the streets, and begged that they might touch just the tassel of his cloak. And all they that touched him were cured.

Chapter 7

1 ܘܟܢܫܘ ܠܘܬܗ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܘܤܦܪܐ ܕܐܬܘ ܡܢ ܐܘܪܫܠܡ
And there gathered near him Pharisees and scribes who had come from Jerusalem.
2 ܘܚܙܘ ܐܢܫܝܢ ܡܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܕܐܟܠܝܢ ܠܚܡܐ ܟܕ ܠܐ ܡܫܓܢ ܐܝܕܝܗܘܢ ܘܐܬܥܕܠܘ
And they saw some of his disciples eating bread with unwashed hands; and they questioned it.
3 ܟܠܗܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܘܦܪܝܫܐ ܐܢ ܗܘ ܕܒܛܝܠܐܝܬ ܠܐ ܡܫܝܓܝܢ ܐܝܕܝܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܠܥܤܝܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܚܝܕܝܢ ܡܫܠܡܢܘܬܐ ܕܩܫܝܫܐ
For all the  Jews and the Pharisees, do not eat unless they carefully  wash their hands; because they hold fast to the custom of their ancestors.
4 ܘܡܢ ܫܘܩܐ ܐܠܐ ܥܡܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܠܥܤܝܢ ܘܤܓܝܐܬܐ ܐܚܪܢܝܬܐ ܐܝܬ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܩܒܠܘ ܕܢܛܪܘܢ ܡܥܡܘܕܝܬܐ ܕܟܤܐ ܘܕܩܤܛܐ ܘܕܡܐܢܝ ܢܚܫܐ ܘܕܥܪܤܬܐ
And from the marketplace, unless they purify, they do not eat. And there are many other things which they have custom to observe, as the ablution of cups, and of pots, and of brass vessels, and of seats.
5 ܘܫܐܠܘܗܝ ܤܦܪܐ ܘܦܪܝܫܐ ܠܡܢܐ ܬܠܡܝܕܝܟ ܠܐ ܡܗܠܟܝܢ ܐܝܟ ܡܫܠܡܢܘܬܐ ܕܩܫܝܫܐ ܐܠܐ ܟܕ ܠܐ ܡܫܓܢ ܐܝܕܝܗܘܢ ܐܟܠܝܢ ܠܚܡܐ
And the scribes and Pharisees asked him: Why do your disciples not walk in the way of the custom of the ancestors, but eat bread with unwashed hands ?
6 ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܫܦܝܪ ܐܬܢܒܝ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܐܫܥܝܐ ܢܒܝܐ ܢܤܒܝ ܒܐܦܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܟܬܝܒ ܕܥܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܒܤܦܘܬܗ ܗܘ ܡܝܩܪ ܠܝ ܠܒܗܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܤܓܝ ܪܚܝܩ ܡܢܝ
And he said to them: How well Isaiah prophesied about you hypocrites; as it is written: This people honors me with its lips, but their heart is far from me.
7 ܘܤܪܝܩܐܝܬ ܕܚܠܝܢ ܠܝ ܟܕ ܡܠܦܝܢ ܝܘܠܦܢܐ ܕܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܕܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ
And empty is their reverence, while teaching as doctrines merely the precepts of men.
8 ܫܒܩܬܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܐܚܝܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܫܠܡܢܘܬܐ ܕܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܡܥܡܘܕܝܬܐ ܕܟܤܐ ܘܕܩܤܛܐ ܘܤܓܝܐܬܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܗܠܝܢ ܕܡܝܢ
For you disregard the commandment of God, and hold fast the tradition of men, the ablution of cups, and of pots, and many things like these.
9 ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܫܦܝܪ ܛܠܡܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܬܩܝܡܘܢ ܡܫܠܡܢܘܬܟܘܢ
He said to them: You make an art of setting aside the precept of God, so that you may keep your tradition !
10 ܡܘܫܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܡܪ ܕܝܩܪ ܠܐܒܘܟ ܘܠܐܡܟ ܘܡܢ ܕܡܨܚܐ ܠܐܒܐ ܘܠܐܡܐ ܡܘܬܐ ܢܡܘܬ
For Moses said: Honor your father and your mother; and whoever shall curses his father or his mother, shall be put to death.
11 ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܢ ܢܐܡܪ ܓܒܪܐ ܠܐܒܘܗܝ ܐܘ ܠܐܡܗ ܩܘܪܒܢܝ ܡܕܡ ܕܡܢܝ ܬܐܬܪ
But you say: If a man says to his father or to his mother, Be it my obligation whatever you may be given from me:
12 ܘܠܐ ܫܒܩܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܗ ܕܢܥܒܕ ܡܕܡ ܠܐܒܘܗܝ ܐܘ ܠܐܡܗ
then you ask him not to do any thing more for his father or his mother.
13 ܘܡܤܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܠܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܡܛܠ ܡܫܠܡܢܘܬܐ ܕܐܫܠܡܬܘܢ ܘܕܕܡܝܢ ܠܗܠܝܢ ܤܓܝܐܬܐ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ
And you reject the word of God, on account of the custom which you hand down. And many things like these you do.
14 ܘܩܪܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܟܢܫܐ ܟܠܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܫܘܡܥܘܢܝ ܟܠܟܘܢ ܘܐܤܬܟܠܘ
And Jesus called all the crowd, and said to them: Hear me, all of you; and try to understand.
15 ܠܝܬ ܡܕܡ ܕܠܒܪ ܡܢ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܗܘ ܘܥܐܠ ܠܗ ܕܡܫܟܚ ܡܤܝܒ ܠܗ ܐܠܐ ܡܕܡ ܕܢܦܩ ܡܢܗ ܗܘ ܗܘ ܡܤܝܒ ܠܒܪ ܐܢܫܐ
There is nothing outside a man which by entering him, can pollute him. But that which comes out of him, that it is that pollutes a man.
16 ܡܢ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܐܕܢܐ ܕܢܫܡܥ ܢܫܡܥ
Whoever has ears to hear, let  him hear.
17 ܟܕ ܕܝܢ ܥܠ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܒܝܬܐ ܡܢ ܟܢܫܐ ܫܐܠܘܗܝ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܥܠ ܡܬܠܐ ܗܘ
And when Jesus had entered the house, away from the crowd, his disciples asked him about this parable.
18 ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܥܛܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܕܡܢ ܠܒܪ ܥܐܠ ܠܒܪ ܐܢܫܐ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܡܤܝܒ ܠܗ
And he said to them: Are you likewise unable discern ? Do you not know, that whatever from outside enters into a man cannot make him impure?
19 ܕܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܠܒܗ ܥܐܠ ܐܠܐ ܠܟܪܤܗ ܘܡܫܬܕܐ ܒܬܕܟܝܬܐ ܕܡܕܟܝܐ ܟܠܗ ܡܐܟܘܠܬܐ
For it does not enter into his heart, but into his belly, and is rendered to be carried off of all that is eaten.
20 ܡܕܡ ܕܝܢ ܕܢܦܩ ܡܢ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܗܘ ܗܘ ܡܤܝܒ ܠܒܪ ܐܢܫܐ
But that which becomes from a man, that defiles a man.
21 ܡܢ ܠܓܘ ܓܝܪ ܡܢ ܠܒܐ ܕܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܢܦܩܢ ܡܚܫܒܬܐ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܓܘܪܐ ܙܢܝܘܬܐ ܓܢܒܘܬܐ ܩܛܠܐ
For from within, from the hearts of men, proceed evil thoughts, adultery, fornication,
22 ܥܠܘܒܘܬܐ ܒܝܫܘܬܐ ܢܟܠܐ ܨܚܢܘܬܐ ܥܝܢܐ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܓܘܕܦܐ ܫܒܗܪܢܘܬܐ ܫܛܝܘܬܐ
theft, murder, avarice, malice, deceit, lust, envy, blasphemy, arrogance, an obtuse spirit.
23 ܗܠܝܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܡܢ ܠܓܘ ܗܘ ܢܦܩܢ ܘܡܤܝܒܢ ܠܗ ܠܒܪܢܫܐ
All these evils come from within, and defile a man.
24 ܡܢ ܬܡܢ ܩܡ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܬܐ ܠܬܚܘܡܐ ܕܨܘܪ ܘܕܨܝܕܢ ܘܥܠ ܠܒܝܬܐ ܚܕ ܘܠܐ ܨܒܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܐܢܫ ܢܕܥ ܒܗ ܘܠܐ ܐܫܟܚ ܕܢܛܫܐ
Then Jesus got up, and went to the border of Tyre and Sidon. And he entered a house, and wanted none to recognize him; but he could not escape notice.
25 ܡܚܕܐ ܓܝܪ ܫܡܥܬ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܚܕܐ ܡܛܠܬܗ ܕܐܝܬ ܗܘܬ ܠܒܪܬܗ ܪܘܚܐ ܛܢܦܬܐ ܘܐܬܬ ܢܦܠܬ ܩܕܡ ܪܓܠܘܗܝ
Soon a woman, whose daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him; and she came, and fell before his feet,
26 ܗܝ ܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܐܝܬܝܗ ܗܘܬ ܚܢܦܬܐ ܡܢ ܦܘܢܝܩܐ ܕܤܘܪܝܐ ܘܒܥܝܐ ܗܘܬ ܡܢܗ ܕܢܦܩ ܫܐܕܐ ܡܢ ܒܪܬܗ
The woman was a Gentile from Phenicia of Syria), and begged him to expel the demon from her daughter.
27 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܫܒܘܩܝ ܠܘܩܕܡ ܕܢܤܒܥܘܢ ܒܢܝܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܬ ܓܝܪ ܫܦܝܪܐ ܕܢܤܒ ܠܚܡܐ ܕܒܢܝܐ ܘܢܪܡܐ ܠܟܠܒܐ
Jesus said to her: Allow the children first to be filled; for it is not right to take the children's bread and cast it to dogs.
28 ܗܝ ܕܝܢ ܥܢܬ ܘܐܡܪܐ ܠܗ ܐܝܢ ܡܪܝ ܐܦ ܟܠܒܐ ܡܢ ܬܚܝܬ ܦܬܘܪܐ ܐܟܠܝܢ ܦܪܬܘܬܐ ܕܒܢܝܐ
And she replied, and said to him: Please, my Lord: even the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs.
29 ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܙܠܝ ܡܛܠ ܗܕܐ ܡܠܬܐ ܢܦܩ ܠܗ ܫܐܕܐ ܡܢ ܒܪܬܟܝ
Jesus said to her: Go; for such a reply, the demon has left from your daughter.
30 ܘܐܙܠܬ ܠܒܝܬܗ ܘܐܫܟܚܬ ܒܪܬܗ ܟܕ ܪܡܝܐ ܒܥܪܤܐ ܘܢܦܝܩ ܡܢܗ ܫܐܕܗ
And she went to her house, and found her daughter lying on a bed, and the demon gone of her.
31 ܬܘܒ ܢܦܩ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܢ ܬܚܘܡܐ ܕܨܘܪ ܘܕܨܝܕܢ ܘܐܬܐ ܠܝܡܐ ܕܓܠܝܠܐ ܒܬܚܘܡܐ ܕܥܤܪܬ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ
Again Jesus left from the border of Tyre and Sidon, and came to the sea of Galilee, to the border of Decapolis.
32 ܘܐܝܬܝܘ ܠܗ ܚܪܫܐ ܚܕ ܦܐܩܐ ܘܒܥܐ ܗܘܘ ܡܢܗ ܕܢܤܝܡ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܐܝܕܐ
And they brought to him a deaf and stammering man, and begged him to lay his hand on  him.
33 ܘܢܓܕܗ ܡܢ ܟܢܫܐ ܒܠܚܘܕܘܗܝ ܘܐܪܡܝ ܨܒܥܬܗ ܒܐܕܢܘܗܝ ܘܪܩ ܘܩܪܒ ܠܠܫܢܗ
And he led him away  from the crowd,  and put his  fingers into his ears, and touched his tongue, and spit,
34 ܘܚܪ ܒܫܡܝܐ ܘܐܬܬܢܚ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܬܦܬܚ
and looked towards heaven, and groaned, and said to him: Be opened.
35 ܘܒܗ ܒܫܥܬܐ ܐܬܦܬܚ ܐܕܢܘܗܝ ܘܐܫܬܪܝ ܐܤܪܐ ܕܠܫܢܗ ܘܡܠܠ ܦܫܝܩܐܝܬ
And immediately his ears were opened, and his tongue was freed, and he spoke plainly.
36 ܘܙܗܪ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܠܐܢܫ ܠܐ ܢܐܡܪܘܢ ܘܟܡܐ ܕܗܘ ܡܙܗܪ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܗܢܘܢ ܝܬܝܪ ܡܟܪܙܝܢ ܗܘܘ
And he ordered them to tell no man of it: and the more he ordered them, the more they proclaimed it.
37 ܘܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܡܬܕܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܕܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܫܦܝܪ ܥܒܕ ܠܚܪܫܐ ܥܒܕ ܕܢܫܡܥܘܢ ܘܕܠܐ ܡܡܠܠܝܢ ܕܢܡܠܠܘܢ
And they admired him beyond bounds, and said:  He does every thing well: he makes the deaf hear, and the mute talk.

Chapter 8

1 ܒܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܝܘܡܬܐ ܟܕ ܟܢܫܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܘܠܐ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܡܕܡ ܕܢܐܟܠܘܢ ܩܪܐ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ
And about that time, when the crowd was large, and had nothing to eat, he called his disciples, and said to them:
2 ܡܬܪܚܡ ܐܢܐ ܥܠ ܟܢܫܐ ܗܢܐ ܕܗܐ ܬܠܬܐ ܝܘܡܝܢ ܩܘܝܘ ܠܘܬܝ ܘܠܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܢܐ ܢܐܟܠܘܢ
I pity this crowd; for three days they have been with with me, and they have nothing to eat.
3 ܘܐܢ ܗܘ ܕܫܪܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܟܕ ܨܝܡܝܢ ܠܒܬܝܗܘܢ ܥܝܦܝܢ ܒܐܘܪܚܐ ܐܢܫܐ ܓܝܪ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܡܢ ܪܘܚܩܐ ܐܬܝܐܝܢ
And if I send them to their homes hungry, they will faint by the way. Some of them have come from a great distance.
4 ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܐܝܡܟܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܐܢܫ ܗܪܟܐ ܒܚܘܪܒܐ ܕܢܤܒܥ ܠܚܡܐ ܠܗܠܝܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ
His disciples say to him: Where, here in the desert, can one satisfy all these with bread?
5 ܘܫܐܠ ܐܢܘܢ ܗܘ ܟܡܐ ܠܚܡܝܢ ܐܝܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܫܒܥܐ
And he asked them: How many loaves do you have ? They say to him, Seven.
6 ܘܦܩܕ ܠܟܢܫܐ ܕܢܤܬܡܟܘܢ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ ܘܢܤܒ ܗܢܘܢ ܫܒܥܐ ܠܚܡܝܢ ܘܒܪܟ ܘܩܨܐ ܘܝܗܒ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܕܢܤܝܡܘܢ ܘܤܡܘ ܠܟܢܫܐ
And he ordered the crowds to sit on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, blessed and broke them, and gave to his disciples to hand out; and they handed them out to the crowds.
7 ܘܐܝܬ ܗܘܘ ܢܘܢܐ ܩܠܝܠ ܘܐܦ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܒܪܟ ܘܐܡܪ ܕܢܤܝܡܘܢ ܐܢܘܢ
And there were a few fish; and he also blessed them, and ordered them handed out.
8 ܘܐܟܠܘ ܘܤܒܥܘ ܘܫܩܠܘ ܬܘܬܪܐ ܕܩܨܝܐ ܫܒܥܐ ܐܤܦܪܝܕܝܢ
And they ate, and were satisfied: and they took up seven baskets of the remaining scraps.
9 ܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܢܫܐ ܕܐܟܠܘ ܐܝܟ ܐܪܒܥܐ ܐܠܦܝܢ
And the  men who had eaten were about four thousand: and he sent them away.
10 ܘܫܪܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܤܠܩ ܡܚܕܐ ܠܤܦܝܢܬܐ ܥܡ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܐܬܐ ܠܐܬܪܐ ܕܕܠܡܢܘܬܐ
And thereon he entered a boat, with his disciples, and came to the place Dalmanutha.
11 ܘܢܦܩܘ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܘܫܪܝܘ ܠܡܒܥܐ ܥܡܗ ܘܫܐܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܐܬܐ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܟܕ ܡܢܤܝܢ ܠܗ
And the Pharisees came out, and began to debate with him; and, to test him, they demanded of him a sign from heaven.
12 ܘܐܬܬܢܚ ܒܪܘܚܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܢܐ ܒܥܝܐ ܐܬܐ ܫܪܒܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܬܬܝܗܒ ܠܗ ܐܬܐ ܠܫܪܒܬܐ ܗܕܐ
And he breathed a sigh, and said: Why does this generation look for a sign ? Truly I say to you, No sign will be given to this generation.
13 ܘܫܒܩ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܤܠܩ ܠܤܦܝܢܬܐ ܘܐܙܠܘ ܠܗܘ ܥܒܪܐ
And he left them, and left in the boat; and they passed to the other shore.
14 ܘܛܥܘ ܕܢܤܒܘܢ ܠܚܡܐ ܘܐܠܐ ܚܕܐ ܓܪܝܨܬܐ ܠܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܒܤܦܝܢܬܐ
And they had forgot to take the bread with them, and had but a single loaf in the ship with them.
15 ܘܦܩܕ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܚܙܘ ܐܙܕܗܪܘ ܡܢ ܚܡܝܪܐ ܕܦܪܝܫܐ ܘܡܢ ܚܡܝܪܗ ܕܗܪܘܕܤ
And he ordered them, and said to them: Take heed, and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod.
16 ܘܡܬܚܫܒܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܚܕ ܥܡ ܚܕ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܕܠܚܡܐ ܠܝܬ ܠܢ
And they thought to one another, and said: Is it because we have no bread ?
17 ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܝܕܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܢܐ ܪܢܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܠܚܡܐ ܠܝܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܠܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܗܫܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܡܤܬܟܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܥܕܟܝܠ ܠܒܐ ܩܫܝܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܟܘܢ
And Jesus knew it, and said to them: Why do you suppose you have no bread ? Do you still not know, nor understand? How long will you be so stubborn ?
18 ܘܥܝܢܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܚܙܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܘܐܕܢܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܫܡܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܥܗܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ
and you have eyes, but see not ? and have ears, but hear not, nor understand ?
19 ܟܕ ܗܠܝܢ ܚܡܫܐ ܠܚܡܝܢ ܩܨܝܬ ܠܚܡܫܐ ܐܠܦܝܢ ܟܡܐ ܩܘܦܝܢܝܢ ܕܩܨܝܐ ܟܕ ܡܠܝܢ ܫܩܠܬܘܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܬܪܥܤܪ
When I broke the five loaves to five thousand, how many baskets full of scraps did you take up ? They say to him: Twelve.
20 ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܘܟܕ ܫܒܥܐ ܠܐܪܒܥܐ ܐܠܦܝܢ ܟܡܐ ܐܤܦܪܝܕܝܢ ܕܩܨܝܐ ܟܕ ܡܠܝܢ ܫܩܠܬܘܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܫܒܥܐ
He said to them. And when the seven to four thousand, how many baskets full of scraps did you take up ? They say: Seven.
21 ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܟܘ ܠܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܗܫܐ ܡܤܬܟܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ
He said to them: Why is it that, up to this time, you do not comprehend ?
22 ܘܐܬܐ ܠܒܝܬ ܨܝܕܐ ܘܐܝܬܝܘ ܠܗ ܤܡܝܐ ܘܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܢܗ ܕܢܩܪܘܒ ܠܗ
And he came to Bethsaida : and they brought  to him a blind man, and begged him to touch him.
23 ܘܐܚܕ ܒܐܝܕܗ ܕܤܡܝܐ ܘܐܦܩܗ ܠܒܪ ܡܢ ܩܪܝܬܐ ܘܪܩ ܒܥܝܢܘܗܝ ܘܤܡ ܐܝܕܗ ܘܫܐܠܗ ܕܡܢܐ ܚܙܐ
And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the village, and laid on his hand and spit on his eyes: and asked him what he saw.
24 ܚܪ ܘܐܡܪ ܚܙܐ ܐܢܐ ܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܐܝܟ ܐܝܠܢܐ ܕܡܗܠܟܝܢ
And he looked, and said: I  see men like trees which walk.
25 ܬܘܒ ܤܡ ܐܝܕܗ ܥܠ ܥܝܢܘܗܝ ܘܬܩܢ ܘܚܙܐ ܗܘܐ ܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܢܗܝܪܐܝܬ
Again he laid his hand on his eyes, and he was restored, and saw every thing clearly.
26 ܘܫܕܪܗ ܠܒܝܬܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܐܦ ܠܐ ܠܩܪܝܬܐ ܬܥܘܠ ܘܠܐ ܬܐܡܪ ܠܐܢܫ ܒܩܪܝܬܐ
And he sent him to his house, and said to him: Do not enter into the village, nor tell any person in the village.
27 ܘܢܦܩ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܠܩܘܪܝܐ ܕܩܤܪܝܐ ܕܦܝܠܝܦܘܤ ܘܡܫܐܠ ܗܘܐ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܒܐܘܪܚܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܢܘ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܥܠܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܕܐܝܬܝ
And Jesus and his disciples went to the villages of Caesarea Philippi. And he asked his disciples of them along the way: Who do men say that I am? 
28 ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪܘ ܕܝܘܚܢܢ ܡܥܡܕܢܐ ܘܐܚܪܢܐ ܕܐܠܝܐ ܘܐܚܪܢܐ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܢܒܝܐ
And they said to him: That you are John the Baptist; and others: That you are Elijah; and others: That you are one of the prophets.
29 ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܢܘ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܥܠܝ ܕܐܝܬܝ ܥܢܐ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܢܬ ܗܘ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܚܝܐ
Jesus said to them: And  who do  you yourselves say I am ? Simon replied, and said to  him: You are the Messiah, the Son of the Living God.
30 ܘܟܐܐ ܒܗܘܢ ܕܠܐܢܫ ܠܐ ܢܐܡܪܘܢ ܥܠܘܗܝ
And he ordered them that they should say this of him to no person.
31 ܘܫܪܝ ܗܘܐ ܠܡܠܦܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܥܬܝܕ ܗܘ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܕܢܚܫ ܤܓܝ ܘܕܢܤܬܠܐ ܡܢ ܩܫܝܫܐ ܘܡܢ ܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܘܡܢ ܤܦܪܐ ܘܢܬܩܛܠ ܘܠܬܠܬܐ ܝܘܡܝܢ ܢܩܘܡ
And  he began to teach them, that the Son of man had to suffer much, and be rejected by the  elders and by  the high priests and by the scribes, and be killed, and rise on the third day.
32 ܘܥܝܢ ܒܓܠܐ ܡܠܬܐ ܡܡܠܠ ܗܘܐ ܘܕܒܪܗ ܟܐܦܐ ܘܫܪܝ ܠܡܟܐܐ ܒܗ
And he spoke out about it openly. And Cephas took him, and began to remonstrate him.
33 ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܬܦܢܝ ܘܚܪ ܒܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܟܐܐ ܒܫܡܥܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܙܠ ܠܟ ܠܒܤܬܪܝ ܤܛܢܐ ܕܠܐ ܪܢܐ ܐܢܬ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܠܐ ܕܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ
But he turned, and looked upon his disciples, and reprimanded Simon, and said: Get you behind me, Satan: for you do not judge what is of God, but what is of men.
34 ܘܩܪܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܟܢܫܐ ܥܡ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܢ ܕܨܒܐ ܕܢܐܬܐ ܒܬܪܝ ܢܟܦܘܪ ܒܢܦܫܗ ܘܢܫܩܘܠ ܙܩܝܦܗ ܘܢܐܬܐ ܒܬܪܝ
And Jesus called the crowd, together with his disciples, and said to them: Whoever will follow me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
35 ܟܠ ܡܢ ܕܨܒܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܢܚܐ ܢܦܫܗ ܢܘܒܕܝܗ ܘܟܠ ܕܢܘܒܕ ܢܦܫܗ ܡܛܠܬܝ ܘܡܛܠ ܤܒܪܬܝ ܢܚܝܗ
For whoever will save his life, shall lose it; and whoever will lose his life on my account, and on account of the gospel, shall save it.
36 ܡܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܢܬܥܕܪ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܐܢ ܥܠܡܐ ܟܠܗ ܢܐܬܪ ܘܢܦܫܗ ܢܚܤܪ
For what will profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his life ?
37 ܐܘ ܡܢܐ ܢܬܠ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܬܚܠܘܦܐ ܕܢܦܫܗ
Or what will a man offer in exchange for his life ?
38 ܟܠ ܓܝܪ ܕܢܒܗܬ ܒܝ ܘܒܡܠܝ ܒܫܪܒܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܚܛܝܬܐ ܘܓܝܪܬܐ ܘܐܦ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܢܒܗܬ ܒܗ ܡܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܒܫܘܒܚܐ ܕܐܒܘܗܝ ܥܡ ܡܠܐܟܘܗܝ ܩܕܝܫܐ
For if any shall be ashamed of me, and of my words, in this faithless and corrupt generation, also will the Son of man be ashamed of him, when he comes in the glory of his Father, with his holy angels.
