1 N ow after these things the Lord appointed seventy others also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place where he himself was about to come.

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

2 A nd he said to them, The harvest indeed great, but the workmen few; supplicate therefore the Lord of the harvest that he may send out workmen into his harvest.

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

3 G o: behold I send you forth as lambs in the midst of wolves.

«اذهَبُوا! وَتَذَكَّرُوا بِأنِّي أُرسِلُكُمْ كَحِملانٍ بَيْنَ ذِئابٍ.

4 C arry neither purse nor scrip nor sandals, and salute no one on 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 to this house.

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

6 A nd if a son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it; but 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 abide, eating and drinking such things as they have; for the workman is worthy of his hire. Remove 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 may enter and they receive you, eat what is set before you,

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

9 a nd heal the sick in it, and say to them, The kingdom of God is come nigh to you.

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

10 B ut into whatsoever city ye may have entered and they do not receive you, go out into its streets and say,

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

11 E ven the dust of your city, which cleaves to us on the feet, do we shake off against you; but know this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh.

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

12 I say to you that it shall be more tolerable for Sodom in that day 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 to thee, Chorazin! woe to thee, Bethsaida! for if the works of power which have taken place in you had taken place in Tyre and Sidon, they had long 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 in the judgment than for you.

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

15 A nd thou, Capernaum, who hast been raised up to heaven, shalt be brought down even to hades.

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

16 H e that hears you hears me; and he that rejects you rejects me; and he that rejects me rejects 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 with joy, saying, Lord, even the demons are subject to us through thy name.

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

18 A nd he said to them, I beheld Satan as lightning falling out of heaven.

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

19 B ehold, I give you the power of treading upon serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall in anywise injure you.

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

20 Y et in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subjected to you, but rejoice that your names are written in the heavens.

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

21 I n the same hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit and said, I praise thee, Father, Lord of the heaven and of the earth, that thou hast hid these things from wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to babes: yea, Father, for thus has it been well-pleasing 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 have been delivered to me by my Father, and no one knows who the Son is but the Father, and who the Father is but the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son is pleased to reveal.

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 having turned to the disciples privately he said, 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 say to you that many prophets and kings have desired to see the things which ye behold, and did not see; and to hear the things which ye hear, and did not hear.

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 tempting him, and saying, Teacher, having done what, shall I inherit life eternal?

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

26 A nd he said to him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?

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

27 B ut 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 thine understanding; 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 to him, Thou hast answered right: this do and thou shalt live.

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

29 B ut he, desirous of justifying himself, said to Jesus, And who is my neighbour?

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

30 A nd Jesus replying said, A certain man descended from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell into robbers, who also, having stripped him and inflicted wounds, went away leaving him in a half-dead state.

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 a certain priest happened to go down that way, and seeing him, passed on on the opposite side;

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

32 a nd in like manner also a Levite, being at the spot, came and looked and passed on on the opposite side.

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

33 B ut a certain Samaritan journeying came to him, and seeing, was moved with compassion,

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

34 a nd came up and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine; and having put him on his own beast, took him to 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, taking out two denarii he gave them to the innkeeper, and said to him, Take care of him, and whatsoever thou shalt expend more, I will render to thee on my coming back.

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 of these three seems to thee to have been neighbour of him who fell into the robbers?

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

37 A nd he said, He that shewed him mercy. And Jesus said to 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 A nd it came to pass as they went that he entered into a certain village; and a certain woman, Martha by name, 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, who also, having sat down at the feet of Jesus was listening to his word.

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

40 N ow Martha was distracted with much serving, and coming up she said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Speak to her therefore that she may 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 B ut Jesus answering said to 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 there is need of one, and Mary has chosen the good part, the which shall not be taken from her.

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