1 و َبَعْدَ أنْ أنهَى يَسُوعُ حَدِيثَهُ حَولَ هَذِهِ الأُمُورِ، تَرَكَ إقليمَ الجَلِيلَ وَذَهَبَ إلَى إقليمِ اليَهُودِيَّةِ وَراءَ نَهْرِ الأُردُنِّ.

When Jesus had finished these words, He departed from Galilee and came into the region of Judea beyond the Jordan;

2 و َتَبِعَتْهُ جُمُوعٌ كَبِيرَةٌ مِنَ النّاسِ فَشَفاهُمْ هُناكَ.

and large crowds followed Him, and He healed them there.

3 و َجاءَ بَعْضُ الفِرِّيسِيِّينَ إلَى يَسُوعَ يُحاوِلُونَ امتِحانَهُ، فَقالُوا: «هَلْ يَجُوزُ لِلرَّجُلِ أنْ يُطَلِّقَ زَوجَتَهُ لِأيِّ سَبَبٍ؟»

Some Pharisees came to Jesus, testing Him and asking, “ Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason at all?”

4 ف َأجابَ يَسُوعُ: «ألَمْ تَقرَأُوا فِي الكِتابِ أنَّ اللهَ مُنذُ البِدايَةِ ‹خَلَقَ النّاسَ ذَكَراً وَأُنثَى؟›

And He answered and said, “Have you not read that He who created them from the beginning made them male and female,

5 ث ُمَّ قالَ: ‹لِهَذا يَترُكُ الرَّجُلُ أباهُ وَأُمَّهُ، وَيَتَّحِدُّ بِزَوجَتِهِ، فَيَصِيرَ الاثنانِ جَسَداً واحِداً.›

and said, ‘ For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh ’?

6 و َبِهَذا لا يَكُونانِ فِيما بَعْدُ اثْنَينِ، بَلْ واحِداً. فَلا يَنبَغِي أنْ يَفصِلَ أحَدٌ بَينَ مَنْ جَمَعَهُما اللهُ.»

So they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate.”

7 ف َقالُوا لَهُ: «لِماذا إذاً أمَرَ مُوسَى بِأنْ تُعطَىْ الزَوجَةُ وَثِيقَةَ طَلاقٍ، فَتُطَلَّقَ؟»

They said to Him, “ Why then did Moses command to give her a certificate of divorce and send her away ?”

8 ف َأجابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «سَمَحَ مُوسَى بِذَلِكَ بِسَبَبِ قُلُوبِكُمُ القاسِيَةِ، إلّا أنَّ الأمْرَ لَمْ يَكُنْ كَذَلِكَ فِي البِدايَةِ.

He said to them, “Because of your hardness of heart Moses permitted you to divorce your wives; but from the beginning it has not been this way.

9 ل ِذَلِكَ أقُولُ لَكُمْ إنَّهُ كُلُّ مَنْ يُطَلِّقُ زَوجَتَهُ، إلّا إذا زَنَتْ، وَيَتَزَوَّجُ بِأُخرَى يَرتَكِبُ الزِّنَى.»

And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.”

10 ف َقالَ لَهُ تَلامِيذُهُ: «إنْ كانَ هَذا هُوَ الحالُ بَينَ الزَّوجِ وَزَوجَتِهِ، فَإنَّهُ مِنَ الأفضَلِ عَدَمُ الزَّواجِ!»

The disciples said to Him, “If the relationship of the man with his wife is like this, it is better not to marry.”

11 ف َقالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «لا يَستَطِيعُ الجَمِيعُ قَبُولَ هَذا التَّعلِيمِ إلّا الَّذِينَ يُعطِيهِمُ اللهُ القُدرَةَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ.

But He said to them, “ Not all men can accept this statement, but only those to whom it has been given.

12 ه ُناكَ رِجالٌ لا يَستَطِيعُونَ الزَّواجَ لِأنَّهُمْ وُلِدُوا بِلا قُدرَةٍ عَلَى الزَّواجِ. وَهُناكَ رِجالٌ لا يَستَطِيعُونَ الزَّواجَ لِأنَّ النّاسَ أفقَدَوهُمُ القُدرَةَ عَلَى الزَّواجِ. وَهُناكَ رِجالٌ اختارُوا أنْ لا يَتَزَوَّجُوا مِنْ أجلِ مَلَكُوتِ السَّماواتِ. مَنْ يَستَطِيعُ قُبُولَ هَذا التَّعلِيمِ فَلْيَقْبَلْهُ.» يَسُوعُ يُرَحِّبُ بِالأطفال

For there are eunuchs who were born that way from their mother’s womb; and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men; and there are also eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. He who is able to accept this, let him accept it.” Jesus Blesses Little Children

13 ح ِينَئِذٍ أحضَرُوا إلَيهِ أطفالاً لِكَي يَضَعَ يَدَيهِ عَلَيهِمْ وَيُصَلِّي، وَلَكِنَّ تَلامِيذَهُ وَبَّخُوهُمْ.

Then some children were brought to Him so that He might lay His hands on them and pray; and the disciples rebuked them.

14 ح ِينَئِذٍ قالَ يَسُوعُ: «دَعُوا الأطفالَ يَأتُونَ إلَيَّ، وَلا تَمنَعُوهُمْ عَنِّي، لِأنَّ لِمِثلِ هَؤُلاءِ مَلَكُوتَ السَّماواتِ.»

But Jesus said, “ Let the children alone, and do not hinder them from coming to Me; for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”

15 ث ُمَّ وَضَعَ يَسُوعُ يَدَيهِ عَلَيهِمْ، وَتَرَكَ ذَلِكَ المَكانَ. عائِقُ الغِنَى

After laying His hands on them, He departed from there. The Rich Young Ruler

16 و َجاءَ رَجُلٌ إلَى يَسُوعَ وَسَألَهُ: «يا مُعَلِّمُ، ما هُوَ العَمَلُ الصّالِحُ الَّذِي يَنبَغِي أنْ أعمَلَه حَتَّى أنالَ الحَياةَ الأبَدِيَّةَ؟»

And someone came to Him and said, “Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may obtain eternal life?”

17 ف َأجابَهُ يَسُوعُ: «لِماذا تَسألُنِي عَمّا هُوَ صالِحٌ؟ أتَعرِفُ أنَّهُ لا صالِحَ إلّا اللهُ؟ وَلَكِنْ إنْ أرَدْتَ الحَياةَ الأبَدِيَّةَ، فَعَلَيكَ العَمَلُ بِالوَصايا.»

And He said to him, “Why are you asking Me about what is good? There is only One who is good; but if you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments.”

18 ف َقالَ الرَّجُلُ: «أيَّةُ وَصايا؟» فَقالَ يَسُوعُ: «‹لا تَقتُلْ، لا تَزْنِ، لا تَسرِقْ.

Then he said to Him, “Which ones?” And Jesus said, “ You shall not commit murder; You shall not commit adultery; You shall not steal; You shall not bear false witness;

19 ل ا تَشْهَدْ زُوراً، أكْرِمْ أباكَ وَأُمَّكَ.› وَ‹تُحِبُّ صاحِبَكَ كَما تُحِبُّ نَفسَكَ.› »

Honor your father and mother; and You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

20 ف َقالَ لَهُ الشّابُّ: «أنا أُطِيعُ كُلَّ هَذِهِ الوَصايا، فَماذا يَنقُصُنِي بَعْدُ؟»

The young man said to Him, “All these things I have kept; what am I still lacking?”

21 ف َقالَ يَسُوعُ لَهُ: «إنْ كُنْتَ تَرِيدُ أنْ تَكُونَ كامِلاً، اذْهَبْ وَبِعْ كُلِّ ما تَملِكُ وَأعطِ الفُقَراءَ. بِهَذا تَملِكُ كَنزاً فِي السَّماءِ. ثُمَّ تَعالَ وَاتبَعْنِي.»

Jesus said to him, “If you wish to be complete, go and sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.”

22 ف َلَّما سَمِعَ الشّابُّ ذَلِكَ، ذَهَبَ حَزِيناً لِأنَّهُ كانَ غَنِيّاً جِدّاً.

But when the young man heard this statement, he went away grieving; for he was one who owned much property.

23 ح ِينَئِذٍ قالَ يَسُوعُ لِتَلامِيذِهِ: «أقولُ الحَقَّ لَكُمْ، مِنَ الصَّعْبِ عَلَى الغَنِيِّ دُخُولُ مَلَكُوتِ السَّماواتِ.

And Jesus said to His disciples, “Truly I say to you, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.

24 أ قُولُ لَكُمْ ثانِيَةً أنَّ مُرُورَ جَمَلٍ مِنْ ثُقبِ إبرَةٍ، أيسَرُ مِنْ أنْ يَدخُلَ غَنِيٌّ مَلَكُوتَ اللهِ.»

Again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”

25 ف َلَّما سَمِعَ تَلامِيذُهُ هَذا، دُهِشوا وَقالُوا: «فَمَنْ يُمكِنُ أنْ يَخلُصَ إذاً؟»

When the disciples heard this, they were very astonished and said, “Then who can be saved?”

26 ف َنَظَرَ يَسُوعُ إلَيْهِمْ وَقالَ لَهُمْ: «هَذا مُستَحِيلٌ عِنْدَ النّاسِ، أمّا عِنْدَ اللهِ فَكُلُّ الأشياءِ مُمكِنَةٌ.»

And looking at them Jesus said to them, “ With people this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” The Disciples’ Reward

27 ح َينَئِذٍ قالَ لَهُ بُطرُسُ: «ها نَحنُ قَدْ تَرَكنا كُلَّ شَيءٍ لِكَيْ نَتبَعَكَ! فَماذا سَيَكُونُ لَنا؟»

Then Peter said to Him, “Behold, we have left everything and followed You; what then will there be for us?”

28 ف َقالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «أقولُ الحَقَّ لَكُمْ، عِندَما يَجلِسُ ابْنُ الإنسانِ عَلَى عَرشِهِ المَجِيدِ فِي العَصْرِ الجَدِيدِ، سَتَجلِسُونَ أنتُمُ الَّذِينَ تَبِعْتُمُونِي عَلَى اثْنَي عَشَرَ عَرْشاً، لِتَحكُمُوا عَلَى قَبائِلِ بَنيْ إسرائِيلَ الاثنَتَي عَشْرَةَ.

And Jesus said to them, “Truly I say to you, that you who have followed Me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man will sit on His glorious throne, you also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

29 و َكُلُّ مَنْ تَرَكَ بُيُوتاً أوْ إخْوَةً أوْ أخَواتٍ أوْ أباً أوْ أُمّاً أوْ أبناءاً أوْ حُقُولاً مِنء أجلِي، فَإنَّهُ سَيَنالُ مِئَةَ ضِعْفٍ، وَسَيَرَثُ الحَياةَ الآتِيَةَ مَعَ اللهِ إلَى الأبَدِ.»

And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or farms for My name’s sake, will receive many times as much, and will inherit eternal life.

30 ف كَثيرونَ هُمْ أوَّلُ النّاسِ الَّذينَ سَيَصيرونَ آخِرَ النّاسِ، وَكَثيرونَ هُمْ آخِرُ النّاسِ الَّذينَ سَيَصيرونَ أوَّلَ النّاسِ.

But many who are first will be last; and the last, first.
