1 A fter these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come.

بَعدَ هَذِهِ الأحداثِ، عَيَّنَ الرَّبُّ اثْنَينِ وَسَبعِينَ آخَرِيْنَ. وَأرسَلَهُمْ أمامَهُ إلَى كُلِّ بَلدَةٍ وَمَكانٍ يَنوِي الذَّهابَ إلَيْهِ.

2 T herefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.

وَقالَ لَهُمْ: «الحَصادُ كَثِيْرٌ، لَكِنَّ الحَصّادِيْنَ قَلِيلُونَ. فَصَلُّوا لِرَبِّ الحَصادِ أنْ يُرسِلَ حَصّادِينَ إلَى الحَصادِ.

3 G o your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.

«اذهَبُوا! وَتَذَكَّرُوا بِأنِّي أُرسِلُكُمْ كَحِملانٍ بَيْنَ ذِئابٍ.

4 C arry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way.

لا تَحمِلُوا مَعَكُمْ مِحفَظَةً أوْ حَقِيبَةً أوْ حِذاءً، وَلا تُحَيُّوا أحَداً فِي الطَّرِيقِ.

5 A nd into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house.

وَعِندَما تَدخُلُونَ أيَّ بَيتٍ، قُولُوا أوَّلاً: ‹لِيَحِلَّ السَّلامُ عَلَى هَذا البَيتِ.›

6 A nd if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again.

فَإنْ كانَ فِيْهِ مُحِبٌّ لِلسَّلامِ، فَسَيَحِلُّ سَلامُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ. وَإلّا، فَإنَّ سَلامَكُمْ سَيَرجِعُ إلَيْكُمْ.

7 A nd in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.

وَأقِيْمُوا فِي ذَلِكَ البَيتِ، وَكُلُوا وَاشرَبُوا مِنْ كُلِّ ما يُقَدِّمُونَهُ لَكُمْ، فَالعامِلُ يَستَحِقُّ أُجرَتَهُ. وَلا تَمكُثُوا فِي بُيُوتٍ مُختَلِفَةٍ أثناءَ إقامَتِكُمْ فِي مَدِيْنَةٍ.

8 A nd into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you:

«وَمَتَى دَخَلْتُمْ مَدِيْنَةً وَلَقِيْتُمْ تَرحِيباً مِنْ أهلِها، فَكُلُوا ما يُوضَعُ أمامَكُمْ.

9 a nd heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.

وَاشفُوا المَرضَى فِي تِلكَ المَدِيْنَةِ، وَقُولُوا لِأهلِها: ‹لَقَدِ اقتَرَبَ مِنكُمْ مَلَكُوتُ اللهِ!›

10 B ut into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say,

«فَإذا دَخَلْتُمْ مَدِيْنَةً، وَلَمْ يُرَحِّبْ بِكُمْ أهلُها، اخرُجُوا إلَى شَوارِعِها وَقُولُوا:

11 E ven the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.

‹حَتَّى غُبارُ مَدِيْنَتِكُمُ الَّذِي عَلِقَ بِأقدامِنا نَنفُضُهُ عَلَيْكُمْ! وَلَكِنِ اعلَمُوا أنَّ مَلَكُوتَ اللهِ قَدِ اقتَرَبَ!›

12 B ut I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city.

أقُولُ لَكُمْ إنَّ حالَ أهلِ سَدُومَ فِي يَومِ الدَّيْنُونَةِ سَيَكُونُ أهوَنَ مِنْ حالِ تِلكَ المَدِيْنَةِ.» يَسُوعُ يُحَذِّرُ المُدَنَ الخاطئة

13 W oe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they had a great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

«الوَيلُ لَكِ يا كُورْزِيْنُ! الوَيلُ لَكِ يا بَيْتَ صَيدا! لِأنَّهُ لَوْ جَرَتِ المُعجِزاتُ الَّتِي جَرَتْ فِيْكُما فِي صُورَ وَصَيداءَ، لَتابَتا مُنذُ زَمَنٍ بَعِيدٍ، وَلارتَدَى أهلُها الخَيشَ، وَجَلَسُوا عَلَى الرَّمادِ.

14 B ut it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you.

لِهَذا سَيَكُونُ حالُ أهلِ صُورَ وَصَيداءَ أهوَنَ مِنْ حالِكُما يَومَ الدَّينُونَةِ.

15 A nd thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down to hell.

وَأنتِ يا كَفْرَناحُومَ، هَلْ تَتَوَهَّمِيْنَ أنَّكِ سَتُرفَعِينَ إلَى السَّماءِ؟ لا، بَلْ سَتَهبِطِيْنَ إلَى الهاوِيَةِ!

16 H e that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.

مَنْ يُطِيْعُكُمْ يا تَلامِيذِي يُطِيْعُنِي، وَمَنْ يَرفُضُكُمْ يَرفُضُنِي، وَمَنْ يَرفُضُنِي يَرفُضُ ذاكَ الَّذِي أرسَلَنِي.» سُقُوطُ الشَّيْطان

17 A nd the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.

وَعادَ الاثنانِ وَالسَّبعُونَ بِفَرَحٍ وَقالُوا: «يا رَبُّ، حَتَّى الأرواحُ الشِّرِّيْرَةُ تَخضَعُ لَنا عِندَما نَأْمُرُها باسْمِكَ!»

18 A nd he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.

فَقالَ لَهُمْ: «لَقَدْ رَأيتُ الشَّيطانَ ساقِطاً كَبَرقٍ مِنَ السَّماءِ!

19 B ehold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

ها قَدْ أعطَيتُكُمْ سُلطاناً لِكَي تَدُوسُوا الأفاعِيَ وَالعَقارِبَ، وَسُلطاناً عَلَى كُلِّ قُوَّةِ العَدُوِّ، وَلَنْ يُؤذِيَكُمْ شَيءٌ.

20 N otwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.

لَكِنْ لا تَفرَحُوا لِأنَّ الأرواحَ الشِّرِّيْرَةَ تَخضَعُ لَكُمْ، بَلِ افرَحُوا لِأنَّ أسماءَكُمْ مَكتُوبَةٌ فِي السَّماءِ.» يَسُوعُ يُصَلِّي إلَى الآب

21 I n that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.

وَفِي تِلكَ اللَّحظَةِ امتَلأ يَسُوعُ فَرَحاً مِنَ الرُّوحِ القُدُسِ، وَقالَ: «أشكُرُكَ أيُّها الآبُ، رَبَّ السَّماءِ وَالأرْضِ. فَقَدْ أخفَيْتَ هَذِهِ الأُمُورَ عَنِ الحُكَماءِ وَالأذكِياءِ، وَكَشَفْتَها لِلبُسَطاءِ كَالأطفالِ. نَعَمْ يا أبِي، لِأنَّكَ سُرِرْتَ بِعَمَلِ هَذا.

22 A ll things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him.

لَقَدْ سَلَّمَنِي الآبُ كُلَّ شَيءٍ. فَلا أحَدَ يَعرِفُ الابْنَ إلّا الآبُ، وَلا أحَدَ يَعرِفُ الآبَ إلّا الابْنُ وَكُلُّ مَنْ يَشاءُ الابنُ أنْ يَكشِفَ لَهُ.»

23 A nd he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see:

بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ، انْفَرَدَ يَسوعُ بِتَلاميذِهِ، وَالتَفَتَ إلَيْهِمْ وَقالَ: «هَنِيْئاً لِلعُيُونِ الَّتِي تَرَى ما أنتُمْ تَرَونَهُ الآنَ

24 f or I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.

لِأنِّي أقُولُ لَكُمْ إنَّ مُلُوكاً وَأنبِياءَ كَثِيْرِينَ اشتَهُوا أنْ يَرَوا ما تَرَونَ وَلَمْ يَرَوا، وَاشْتَهَوا أنْ يَسمَعُوا ما تَسمَعُونَ وَلَمْ يَسمَعُوا.» السّامِرِيُّ الصّالِح

25 A nd, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

ثُمَّ وَقَفَ واحِدٌ مِنْ خُبَراءِ الشَّرِيعَةِ لِيَمتَحِنَ يَسُوعَ، فَسَألَهُ: «يا مُعَلِّمُ، ماذا يَنْبَغِيُ أنْ أفعَلَ لِكَي أنالَ الحَياةَ الأبَدِيَّةَ؟»

26 H e said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?

فَقالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «ما المَكتُوبُ فِي الشَّرِيعَةِ؟ وَكَيفَ تَفهَمُهُ؟»

27 A nd he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.

فَأجابَ: «مَكتُوبٌ: ‹تُحِبُّ الرَّبَّ إلَهَكَ بِكُلِّ قَلبِكَ، وَبِكُلِّ نَفسِكَ، وَبِكُلِّ قُوَّتِكَ، وَبِكُلِّ عَقلِكَ،› وَمَكتوبٌ أيضاً: ‹تُحِبُّ صاحِبَكَ كَما تُحِبُّ نَفسَكَ.› »

28 A nd he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.

فَقالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «هَذا صَحِيْحٌ، افعَلْ هَذا وَسَتَحيا.»

29 B ut he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?

لَكِنَّ الرَّجُلَ أرادَ أنْ يُبَرِّرَ سُؤالَهُ، فَقالَ لِيَسُوعَ: «وَمَنْ هُوَ صاحِبي؟»

30 A nd Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.

فَأجابَهُ يَسُوعُ: «كانَ رَجُلٌ نازِلاً مِنَ القُدسِ إلَى أرِيحا، فَوَقَعَ فِي أيدِي لُصُوصٍ. فَجَرَّدُوهُ مِنْ مَلابِسِهِ وَضَرَبُوهُ، ثُمَّ مَضُوا وَتَرَكُوهُ بَيْنَ الحَياةِ وَالمَوتِ.

31 A nd by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

فَمَرَّ بِهِ كاهِنٌ كانَ نازِلاً مِنْ تِلكَ الطَّرِيْقِ. فَلَمّا رَآهُ، ذَهَبَ إلَى الجانِبِ الآخَرِ مِنَ الطَّرِيقِ دُونَ أنْ يَلتَفِتَ إلَيهِ.

32 A nd likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.

وَكَذَلِكَ مَرَّ لاوِيٌّ مِنْ ذَلِكَ المَكانِ وَرَأى الرَّجُلَ المَضْرُوبَ، فَذَهَبَ إلَى الجانِبِ الآخَرِ أيضاً.

33 B ut a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,

لَكِنَّ سامِرِيّاً مُسافِراً مَرَّ بِهِ أيضاً. وَحِينَ رَآهُ تَحَنَّنَ عَلَيْهِ.

34 a nd went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

فَاقتَرَبَ مِنهُ وَضَمَّدَ جِراحَهُ بَعدَ أنْ سَكَبَ عَلَيها زَيتَ زَيتُونٍ وَنَبيذاً. ثُمَّ وَضَعَهُ عَلَى دابَّتِهِ، وَأخَذَهُ إلَى فُندُقٍ وَاعتَنَى بِهِ هُناكَ.

35 A nd on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.

وَفِي اليَومِ التّالِي أخرَجَ دِينارَيْنِ مِنَ الفِضَّةِ وَأعطاهُما لِصاحِبِ الفَندُقِ، وَقالَ لَهُ: ‹اعتَنِ بِهِ، وَمَهما زادَ ما تَصرُفُهُ فَإنِّي سَأُعَوِّضُكَ حِيْنَ أعُودُ.›

36 W hich now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?

فَمَنْ مِنَ الثَّلاثَةِ تَصَرَّفَ كَصاحِبٍ حَقِيقِيٍّ لِلرَّجُلِ الَّذِي وَقَعَ فِي أيدِي اللُّصُوصِ فِي اعتِقادِكَ؟»

37 A nd he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.

قالَ الخَبِيْرُ فِي الشَّرِيعَةِ: «الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي أظهَرَ لَهُ رَحمَةً.» فَقالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «فَاذْهَبْ وَافعَلْ كَما فَعَلَ.» مَريَمُ وَمَرثا

38 N ow it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.

وَبَينَما كانَ يَسُوعُ وَتَلامِيذُهُ سائِرِينَ، دَخَلُوا بَلدَةً، حَيثُ اسْتَضافَتْ يَسوعَ امْرأةٌ اسْمُها مَرثا في بَيتِها.

39 A nd she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus’ feet, and heard his word.

وَكانَتْ لَها أختٌ اسْمُها مَريَمُ. فَجَلَسَتْ مَريَمُ عِندَ قَدَمَي الرَّبِّ تُصغِي إلَى ما يَقُولُهُ.

40 B ut Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.

أمّا مَرْثا فَقَدِ انشَغَلَتِ بِالإعداداتِ الكَثِيْرَةَ. فَجاءَتْ إلَى يَسُوعَ وَقالَتْ: «ألا يَهُمُّكَ أنَّ أُختِي تَرَكَتْنِي لِأقُومَ بِالعَمَلِ كُلِّهِ وَحدِي؟ فَقُلْ لَها أنْ تُساعِدَنِي.»

41 A nd Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things:

فَأجابَها الرَّبُّ: «يا مَرثا، يا مَرثا، أنتِ تَسْمَحينَ لأُمورٍ كَثيرَةٍ بِأنْ تُزْعِجَكِ،

42 b ut one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.

بَينَما الضَّرُورَةُ هِيَ لأمْرٍ واحِدٍ فَقَطْ. فَها مَريَمُ قَدِ اختارَتْ لِنَفسِها الحِصَّةَ الفُضلَى الَّتِي لَنْ تُؤخَذَ مِنْها.»
