1 A nd he said unto his disciples, It is impossible but that occasions of stumbling should come; but woe unto him, through whom they come!

وَقالَ يَسُوعُ لِتَلامِيذِهِ: «لا مَفَرَّ مِنْ حُدُوثِ العَثَراتِ، لَكِنْ وَيلٌ لِذَلِكَ الإنسانِ الَّذِي تَأْتِي العَثَراتُ بِسَبَبِهِ!

2 I t were well for him if a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, rather than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble.

سَيَكُونُ أفضَلَ لَهُ لَوْ أنَّ حَجَرَ الرَّحَى وُضِعَ حَولَ رَقَبَتِهِ، وَأُلقِيَ بِهِ فِي البَحرِ، مِنْ أنْ يُوقِعَ أحَدَ هَؤُلاءِ الصِّغارِ فِي الخَطِيَّةِ.

3 T ake heed to yourselves: if thy brother sin, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.

فَانتَبِهُوا لِأنفُسِكُمْ! «إذا أساءَ أخُوكَ، فَوَبِّخْهُ، وَإذا اعتَذَرَ سامِحْهُ.

4 A nd if he sin against thee seven times in the day, and seven times turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.

وَإذا أخطَأ إلَيكَ سَبعَ مَرّاتٍ فِي يَومٍ واحِدٍ، وَعادَ إلَيكَ سَبعَ مَرّاتٍ مُعتَذِراً، فَسامِحْهُ.» قُوَّةُ الإيمان

5 A nd the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.

وَقالَ الرُّسُلُ للِرَّبِّ: «قَوِّ إيمانَنا.»

6 A nd the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye would say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou rooted up, and be thou planted in the sea; and it would obey you.

فَقالَ الرَّبُّ: «لَوْ كانَ إيمانُكُمْ فِي حَجمِ بِذْرَةِ الخَردَلِ، لأمكَنَكُمْ أنْ تَأْمُرُوا شَجَرَةَ التُّوتِ هَذِهِ فَتَقولوا لَها: ‹انقَلِعِي وَانزَرِعِي فِي البَحرِ،› فَتُطيعَكُمْ.» الخِدمَةُ الصّالِحَة

7 B ut who is there of you, having a servant plowing or keeping sheep, that will say unto him, when he is come in from the field, Come straightway and sit down to meat;

وَقالَ: «لِنَفتَرِضْ أنَّ لِواحِدٍ مِنكُمْ عَبداً يَحرُثُ أوْ يَرعَى الخِرافَ، فَهَلْ يَقُولُ لِهَذا العَبدِ حِينَ يَأْتِي مِنَ الحَقلِ: ‹تَعالَ بِسُرعَةٍ وَاجلِسْ لِتَأْكُلَ›؟

8 a nd will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?

ألا يَقُولُ لَهُ بِالأحرَى: ‹جَهِّزْ لِي عَشائِي، وَالبِسْ ثِيابَ الخِدمَةِ وَاخدِمْنِي بَيْنَما آكُلُ وَأشرَبُ. وَبَعدَ ذَلِكَ يُمكِنُكَ أنْ تَأكُلَ وَتَشرَبَ›؟

9 D oth he thank the servant because he did the things that were commanded?

وَهَلْ يَكُونُ مَدِيناً لِخادِمِهِ بِالشُّكْرِ عَلَى تَنفِيذِ أوامِرِهِ؟

10 E ven so ye also, when ye shall have done all the things that are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants; we have done that which it was our duty to do.

فَهَكَذا أنتُمْ أيضاً، بَعدَ أنْ تَفعَلُوا كُلَّ ما أُمِرْتُمْ بِهِ، قُولُوا: ‹نَحنُ خُدّامٌ غَيرُ مُستَحِقِّينَ، لِأنَّنا لَمْ نَفعَلْ غَيْرَ وَاجِبِنا.›» احْمِدوا الله

11 A nd it came to pass, as they were on their way to Jerusalem, that he was passing along the borders of Samaria and Galilee.

وَمَرَّ يَسُوعُ فِي طَرِيقِهِ إلَى مَدينَةِ القُدْسِ بِمِنطَقَةٍ مُحاذِيَةٍ لِلسّامِرَةِ وَالجَلِيلِ.

12 A nd as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, who stood afar off:

وَبَينَما كانَ يَدخُلُ إحدَى القُرَى، لاقاهُ عَشْرَةُ رِجالٍ مُصابِيْنَ بِالبَرَصِ. فَوَقَفُوا بَعِيداً.

13 a nd they lifted up their voices, saying, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.

وَنادُوا بِصَوتٍ عالٍ: «يا يَسُوعُ، ياسَيِّدُ، أشفِقْ عَلَيْنا!»

14 A nd when he saw them, he said unto them, Go and show yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, as they went, they were cleansed.

فَلَمّا رَآهُمْ قالَ لَهُمْ: «اذهَبُوا وَأرُوا أنفُسَكُمْ لِلكَهَنَةِ.» وَفِيما كانُوا ذاهِبِينَ تَطَهَّرُوا مِنَ البَرَصِ.

15 A nd one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, with a loud voice glorifying God;

فَرَجِعَ واحِدٌ مِنهُمْ عِندَما رَأى أنَّهُ شُفِيَ، وَحَمَدَ اللهَ بِصَوتٍ مَسمُوعٍ.

16 a nd he fell upon his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.

وَارتَمَى عَلَى الأرْضِ عَلَى وَجهِهِ عِندَ قَدَمَيِّ يَسُوعَ وَشَكَرَهُ. وَكانَ هَذا الرَّجُلُ سامِرِيّاً.

17 A nd Jesus answering said, Were not the ten cleansed? but where are the nine?

فَقالَ يَسُوعُ: «ألَمْ يُشفَ العَشْرَةُ كُلُّهُمْ؟ فَأينَ هُمِ التِّسعَةُ الباقُونَ؟

18 W ere there none found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger?

ألَمْ يَرجِعْ أحَدٌ مِنهُمْ لِيَحْمِدَ اللهَ سِوَى هَذا الغَرِيبِ عَنْ بَنِي إسرائِيلَ؟»

19 A nd he said unto him, Arise, and go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.

فَقالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «قُمْ وَاذْهَبْ. إيمانُكَ قَدْ طَهَّرَكَ.» مَلَكُوتُ اللهِ داخِلَكُم

20 A nd being asked by the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God cometh, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:

وَسَألَهُ الفِرِّيسِيُّونَ: «مَتَى سَيَأْتِي مَلَكُوتُ اللهِ؟» فَأجابَهُمْ: «لا يَأْتِي مَلَكُوتُ اللهِ بِطَرِيقَةٍ مَنظُورَةٍ.

21 n either shall they say, Lo, here! or, There! for lo, the kingdom of God is within you.

فَلا يُقالُ إنَّهُ هُنا أوْ هُناكَ!› لِأنَّ مَلَكُوتَ اللهِ يَكُونُ فِيكُمْ.»

22 A nd he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it.

ثُمَّ قالَ لِتَلامِيذِهِ: «سَيَأْتِي وَقتٌ تَشتاقُونَ فِيهِ أنْ تَرَوا وَلَو يَوماً مِنْ أيّامِ ابنِ الإنسانِ حِينَ يَأْتِي فِي مَجدِهِ، لَكِنَّكُمْ لَنْ تَرَوا.

23 A nd they shall say to you, Lo, there! Lo, here! go not away, nor follow after them:

وَسَيَقُولُ النّاسُ لَكُمْ: ‹انظُرُوا هُناكَ!› أوْ: ‹انظُرُوا هُنا!› فَلا تَذهَبُوا وَلا تَتبَعُوهُمْ.» المَجِيءُ الثّانِي لِلمَسِيح

24 f or as the lightning, when it lighteneth out of the one part under the heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall the Son of man be in his day.

«لِأنَّهُ كَما يُومِضُ البَرقُ وَيُضِيءُ السَّماءَ مِنْ طَرَفٍ إلَى طَرَفٍ، هَكَذا سَيَكُونُ ابنُ الإنسانِ فِي يَومِهِ.

25 B ut first must he suffer many things and be rejected of this generation.

لَكِنْ لا بُدَّ أوَّلاً أنْ يَتَألَّمَ كَثِيراً، وَلابُدَّ أنْ يَرفُضَهُ أهلُ هَذا الجِيلِ.

26 A nd as it came to pass in the days of Noah, even so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.

«وَكَما كانَ الحالُ فِي أيّامِ نُوحَ، هَكَذا سَيَكُونُ الحالُ عِندَما يَأْتِي ابنُ الإنسانِ،

27 T hey ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.

إذْ كانَ النّاسُ يَأكُلُونَ وَيَشرَبُونَ وَيَتَزَوَّجُونَ وَيُزَوِّجونَ بَناتِهِمْ حَتَّى ذَلِكَ اليَومِ الَّذِي دَخَلَ فِيهِ نُوحُ السَّفِينَةَ، ثُمَّ جاءَ الفَيَضانُ وَأهلَكَهُمْ جَمِيعاً.

28 L ikewise even as it came to pass in the days of Lot; they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;

«وَسَيَكُونُ الحالُ أيضاً كَما كانَ فِي أيّامِ لُوطَ، إذْ كانُوا يَأكُلُونَ وَيَشرَبُونَ وَيَبِيعُونَ وَيَشتَرُونَ وَيَبنُونَ.

29 b ut in the day that Lot went out from Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all:

لَكِنْ يَومَ خَرَجَ لُوطُ مِنَ المَدِينَةِ، أمطَرَتِ السَّماءُ ناراً وَكِبرِيتاً وَأهلَكَتْهُمْ جَمِيعاً.

30 a fter the same manner shall it be in the day that the Son of man is revealed.

هَكَذا سَيَكُونُ الحالُ عِندَما يُظهَرُ ابنُ الإنسانِ.

31 I n that day, he that shall be on the housetop, and his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them away: and let him that is in the field likewise not return back.

«فَإنْ كانَ أحَدٌ فِي ذَلِكَ اليَومِ عَلَى سَطحِ بَيتِهِ، فَلا يَنزِلْ لِيَأخُذَ أمتِعَتَهُ. وَإنْ كانَ أحَدٌ فِي الحَقلِ، فَلا يَرجِعْ إلَى قَريَتِهِ.

32 R emember Lot's wife.

تَذَكَّرُوا زَوجَةَ لُوطَ.

33 W hosoever shall seek to gain his life shall lose it: but whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.

كُلُّ مَنْ يُحاوِلُ أنْ يَحفَظَ حَياتَهُ سَيَخسَرُها، وَكُلُّ مَنْ يَخسَرُ حَياتَهُ يَحفَظُها.

34 I say unto you, In that night there shall be two men on one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.

«أقُولُ لَكُمْ: إنَّهُ سَيَكُونُ فِي تِلكَ اللَّيلَةِ اثْنانِ فِي فِراشٍ واحِدٍ، فَيُؤخَذُ واحِدٌ وَيُترَكُ الآخَرُ.

35 T here shall be two women grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.

وَتَكُونُ امرَأتانِ تَطحَنانِ الحُبُوبَ مَعاً، فَتُؤخَذُ واحِدَةٌ وَتُترَكُ الأُخرَى.

36 T here shall be two men in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.

وَيَكونُ رَجُلانِ فِي حَقلٍ واحِدٍ، فَيؤخَذُ أحَدُهُما وَيُتْرَكُ الآخَرُ.»

37 A nd they answering say unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Where the body is, thither will the eagles also be gathered together.

فَسَألَهُ تَلامِيذُهُ: «أينَ سَيَحدُثُ هَذا يا رَبُّ؟» فَقالَ لَهُمْ: «حَيثُما تَجِدُونَ الجُثَّةَ تَجِدُونَ النُّسُورَ أيضاً.»
