1 A nd he began to speak unto them by parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about it, and digged a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country.

وَابتَدَأ يَسُوعُ يَتَحَدَّثُ إلَيْهِمْ بِأمثالٍ فَقالَ: «غَرَسَ رَجُلٌ كَرْماً، وَأحاطَهُ بِسِياجٍ، وَحَفَرَ حُفْرَةً لِتَكونَ مِعصَرَةً لِلعِنَبِ، وَبَنَى بُرجاً لِلحِراسَةِ. ثُمَّ أجَّرَهُ لِبَعضِ الفَلّاحِينَ وَسافَرَ بَعِيداً.

2 A nd at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.

«وَجاءَ وَقتُ الحَصادِ. فَأرسَلَ خادِماً إلَى الفَلّاحِينَ لِكَي يَأخُذَ مِنْهُمْ شَيئاً مِنْ نَتاجِ الكَرمِ.

3 A nd they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty.

فَأمسَكُوهُ وَضَرَبُوهُ، وَصَرَفُوهُ فارِغَ اليَدينِ.

4 A nd again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled.

فَأرسَلَ صاحِبُ الكَرمِ خادِماً آخَرَ إلَيْهِمْ، فَجَرَحُوا رَأسَهُ، وَأهانُوهُ.

5 A nd again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some.

فَأرسَلَ صاحِبُ الكَرمِ كَثِيرِينَ غَيرَهُ، فَضَرَبُوا بَعضَهُمْ، وَقَتَلُوا بَعضَهُمْ.

6 H aving yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son.

«فَلَمْ يَبْقَ عِندَهُ سِوَى ابْنِهِ الَّذيْ يُحِبُّهُ. فَأرسَلَهُ إلَيْهِمْ أخِيراً وَهوَ يَقولُ: ‹سَيَحتَرِمُونَ ابنِي!›

7 B ut those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours.

«وَلَكِنَّ الفَلّاحينَ تَشاوَرُوا فِي ماَ بَينَهُمْ وَقالُوا: ‹هَذا هُوَ الوَرِيثُ، فَلنَقتُلْهُ فَيُصْبِحَ الميراثُ لَنا.›

8 A nd they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.

فَقَبَضُوا عَلَيهِ وَقَتَلُوهُ، وَألقَوهُ خارِجَ الكَرْمِ.

9 W hat shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others.

«فَماذا سَيَفعَلُ صاحِبُ الكَرمِ بِهِمْ؟ سَيَأْتِي وَيَقتُلُ هَؤُلاءِ الفَلّاحِينَ، وَيُعطِي الكَرمَ لِغَيرِهِمْ.

10 A nd have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner:

ألَمْ تَقرَأوا المَكْتوبَ: ‹الحَجَرُ الَّذِي رَفَضَهُ البَنّاؤُونَ، هُوَ الَّذِي صارَ حَجَرَ الأساسِ.

11 t his was the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?

الرَّبُّ صَنَعَ هَذا الأمْرَ، وَهُوَ أمْرٌ عَظيمٌ فِي عُيُونِنا؟›»

12 A nd they sought to lay hold on him, but feared the people: for they knew that he had spoken the parable against them: and they left him, and went their way.

وَبَدَأُوا يَبحَثُونَ عَنْ طَرِيقَةٍ لِلإيقاعِ بِيَسُوعَ، لِأنَّهُمْ عَرَفُوا أنَّهُ كانَ يَقصِدُهُمْ بِالمَثَلِ الَّذِي رَواهُ. لَكِنَّهُمْ كانُوا يَخافُونَ مِنَ النّاسِ، فَتَرَكُوهُ وَذَهَبُوا. قادَةُ اليَهُودِ يُحاوِلُونَ الإيقاعَ بِيَسُوع

13 A nd they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to catch him in his words.

وَأرسَلُوا إلَيهِ بَعضَ الفِرِّيسِيِّينَ وَأتباعِ هيرُودُسَ لِيُوقِعُوا بِهِ فِي شَيءٍ يَقُولُهُ.

14 A nd when they were come, they say unto him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Cæsar, or not?

فَأتُوا إلَيهِ وَسَألُوهُ: «يا مُعَلِّمُ، نَحنُ نَعلَمُ أنَّكَ صادِقٌ وَلا تُجامِلُ أحَداً، لأنَّكَ لا تَنظُرُ إلَى مَقاماتِ النّاسِ، بَلْ تُعَلِّمُ طَرِيقَ اللهِ بِكُلِّ صِدقٍ. فَقُلْ لَنا أيَجُوزُ أنْ تُدفَعَ الضَّرائِبُ لِلقَيصَرِ أمْ لا؟ أنَدفَعُها أمْ لا؟»

15 S hall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, that I may see it.

فَرَأى يَسُوعُ نِفاقَهُمْ، فَقالَ لَهُمْ: «لِماذا تُحاوِلُونَ الإيقاعَ بِيْ؟ أرُونِي دِيناراً.»

16 A nd they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Cæsar’s.

فَأعْطَوهُ، فَقالَ لَهُمْ: «لِمَنْ هَذا الرَّسمُ وَهَذا الاسْمُ المَنقوشانِ عَلَى الدِّينارِ؟» فَقالُوا: «للِقَيصَرِ.»

17 A nd Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Cæsar the things that are Cæsar’s, and to God the things that are God’s. And they marvelled at him.

فَقالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «أعطُوا القَيصَرَ ما يَخُصُّهُ، وَأعطُوا اللهَ ما يَخُصُّهُ.» فَاندَهَشُوا مِنْهُ. الصَّدُوقِيُّونَ يُحاوِلُونَ الإيقاعَ بِيَسُوع

18 T hen come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying,

وَجاءَ إلَيهِ بَعضُ الصَّدُّوقِيِّينَ، وَهُمُ الَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ إنَّهُ لا تُوجَدُ قِيامَةٌ، وَسَألُوهُ:

19 M aster, Moses wrote unto us, If a man’s brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

«يا مُعَلِّمُ، كَتَبَ مُوسَى لَنا: ‹إنْ كانَ لِأحَدٍ أخٌ مُتَزَوِّجٌ، وَماتَ ذَلِكَ الأخُ وَلَمْ يُنجِبْ أولاداً، فَإنَّ عَلَى أخِيهِ أنْ يَتَزَوَّجَ أرمَلَتَهُ وَيُنجِبَ وَلَداً يُنسَبُ لِأخِيْهِ.›

20 N ow there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed.

فَكانَ هُناكَ سَبعَةُ إخْوَةٍ. تَزَوَّجَ الأوَّلُ امْرأةً وَماتَ مِنْ دُونِ أنْ يُنجِبَ.

21 A nd the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed: and the third likewise.

فَتَزَوَّجَها الثّانِي، وَماتَ أيضاً مِنْ دُونِ أنْ يُنجِبْ. ثُمَّ الثّالِثُ.

22 A nd the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also.

وَكَذَلِكَ الأمرُ مَعَ الإخوَةِ السَّبعَةِ، إذْ ماتُوا وَلَمْ يُنجِبُوا أولاداً. ثُمَّ ماتَتِ المَرأةُ.

23 I n the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.

فَلِمَنْ تَكونُ زَوجَةً عِندَما يَقُومُونَ يَومَ القِيامَةِ؟ فَقَدْ تَزَوَّجَ السَّبعَةُ مِنها.»

24 A nd Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?

فَقالَ يَسُوعُ: «ألَيسَ السَّبَبُ فِي ضَلالِكُمْ هُوَ أنَّكُمْ لا تَعرِفُونَ الكُتُبَ، وَلا تَعْرِفونَ قُوَّةَ اللهِ؟

25 F or when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.

فَعِندَما يَقُومُ النّاسُ مِنَ المَوتِ، لا يَتَزَوَّجُونَ وَلا يُزَوِّجُونَ، بَلْ يَكُونُونَ كَالمَلائِكَةِ فِي السَّماءِ.

26 A nd as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?

أمّا عَنْ حَقيقَةِ قِيامَةِ الأمْواتِ، أفَلَمْ تَقرَأوا فِي كِتابِ مُوسَى، حادِثَةَ الشُّجَيرَةِ المُشتَعِلَةِ؟ حَيثُ قالَ اللهُ لِمُوسَى: ‹أنا إلَهُ إبراهِيمَ وَإلَهُ إسْحَاقَ وَإلَهُ يَعقُوبَ.›

27 H e is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err.

وَلَيسَ اللهُ إلَهَ أمْواتٍ، بَلْ إلَهُ أحْياءٍ. وَأنتُمْ فِي ضَلالٍ عَظِيمٍ.» أعظمُ الوَصايا

28 A nd one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?

وَسَمِعَ أحَدُ مُعَلِّمِي الشَّرِيعَةِ هَذا الحِوارَ. فَلَمّا رَأى كَيفَ أحسَنَ يَسُوعُ فِي إجابَتِهِ لِلصَّدُّوقِيِّينَ، تَقَدَّمَ وَسَألَهُ: «ما هِيَ أعظَمُ وَصِيَّةٍ؟»

29 A nd Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:

أجابَهُ يَسُوعُ: «الأعظَمُ هِيَ هَذِهِ: ‹اسمَعْ يا إسْرائِيلُ، الرَّبُّ إلَهُنا هُوَ الرَّبُّ الوَحِيدُ،

30 a nd thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.

وَ‹تُحِبُّ الرَّبَّ إلَهَكَ بِكُلِّ قَلبِكَ، وَبِكُلِّ نَفسِكَ، وَبِكُلِّ عَقلِكَ، وَبِكُلِّ قُوَّتِكَ،›

31 A nd the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

وَالوَصِيَّةُ الثّانِيَةُ: ‹تُحِبُّ صاحِبَكَ كَما تُحِبُّ نَفسَكَ.› لا تُوجَدُ وَصِيَّةٌ أعظَمُ مِنْ هاتَينِ الوَصِيَّتينِ.»

32 A nd the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he:

فَقالَ لَهُ مُعَلِّمُ الشَّرِيعَةِ: «أحسَنتَ القَولَ يا مُعَلِّمُ، إنَّهُ اللهُ وَحدَهُ، وَلا أحَدَ سِواهُ.

33 a nd to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.

وَأنْ تُحِبَّهُ بِكُلِّ قَلبِكَ، وَبِكُلِّ فَهْمِكَ، وَبِكُلِّ قُوَّتِكَ، وَأنْ تُحِبَّ صَاحِبَكَ كَنَفسِكَ هِيَ أعظَمُ مِنْ كُلِّ الذَّبائِحِ وَالتَّقدِماتِ.»

34 A nd when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.

فَلَمّا رَأى يَسُوعُ أنَّ الرَّجُلَ أجابَ بِحِكمَةٍ قالَ لَهُ: «أنتَ لَستَ بَعِيداً عَنْ مَلَكوتِ اللهِ.» وَلَمْ يَجرُؤْ أحَدٌ بَعدَ ذَلِكَ أنْ يَسألَهُ مَزِيداً مِنَ الأسئِلَةِ. المَسِيحُ سَيِّدُ داوُد

35 A nd Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the Son of David?

وَكانَ يُعَلِّمُ فِي المَجمَعِ، فَقالَ: «كَيفَ يَقُولُ مُعَلِّمُوا الشَّرِيعَةِ إنَّ المَسِيحَ هُوَ ابْنُ داوُدَ؟

36 F or David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool.

لِأنَّ داوُدَ نَفسَهُ قالَ بِالرُّوحِ القُدُسِ: ‹قالَ الرَّبُّ لِسَيِّدِي: اجلِسْ عَنْ يَمِينِي إلَى أنْ أضَعَ أعداءَكَ تَحتَ قَدَمَيكَ.

37 D avid therefore himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he then his son? And the common people heard him gladly.

فَإنْ كانَ داوُدُ نَفسَهُ يَدعُو المَسِيحَ سَيِّداً، فَكَيفَ يُمكِنُ أنْ يَكُونَ ابْنَهُ؟» وَكانَ الجَمعُ الكَبِيرُ يَستَمِعُ لَهُ بِسُرُورٍ. يَسُوعُ يَنتَقِدُ رَجالَ الدّين

38 A nd he said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the marketplaces,

وَقالَ لَهُمْ فِي تَعلِيمِهِ: «احذَرُوا مِنْ مُعَلِّمِي الشَّرِيعَةِ، فَهُمْ يُحِبُّونَ أنْ يَتَجَوَّلُوا بِثِيابِهِمُ الطَّوِيلَةِ، وَأنْ يُحَيِّيهِمُ النّاسُ فِي الأماكِنِ العامَّةِ.

39 a nd the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts:

يُحِبُّونَ المَقاعِدَ الأُولَى فِي المَجامِعِ، وَأنْ يَكُونُوا مُتَصَدِّرِينَ فِي الوَلائِمِ.

40 w hich devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation.

يَحتالُونَ عَلَى الأرامِلِ وَيَسرِقُونَ بُيُوتَهُنَّ. وَيُصَلُّونَ صَلَواتٍ طَوِيلَةً مِنْ أجلِ لَفتِ الأنظارِ. لِذَلِكَ سَيَنالُونَ عِقاباً أشَدَّ.» الأرمَلَةُ المُعْطِيَة

41 A nd Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.

وَبَينَما هُوَ جالِسٌ مُقابِلَ صَندُوقِ التَّبَرُّعاتِ فِي الهَيكَلِ، كانَ يُشاهِدُ كَيفَ يَضَعُ النّاسُ النُّقُودَ فِي الصُّندُوقِ. وَكَثِيرٌ مِنَ الأغنِياءِ وَضَعُوا كَثِيراً مِنَ المالِ.

42 A nd there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.

وَجاءَتْ أرمَلَةٌ فَقِيرَةٌ وَوَضَعَتْ فِلسَينِ قِيمَتُهُمُا قَلِيلَةٌ جِدّاً.

43 A nd he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury:

فَدَعا يَسُوعُ تَلامِيذَهُ، وَقالَ لَهُمْ: «أقُولُ لَكُمُ الحَقَّ، إنَّ هَذِهِ الأرمَلَةَ الفَقِيرَةَ وَضَعَتْ فِي الصُّندُوقِ أكثَرَ مِنْ كُلِّ الآخَرِينَ الَّذينَ وَضَعوا فِي الصُّنْدوقِ.

44 f or all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.

فَكُلُّ هَؤُلاءِ النّاسِ قَدَّمُوا مِمّا يَستَطِيعُونَ الاستِغناءَ عَنهُ، أمّا هِيَ فَقَدْ قَدَّمَتْ ما تَحتاجُ إليهِ، كُلَّ ما لَدَيها، كُلَّ ما تَملِكُهُ لِتَعِيشَ بِهِ.»
