1 و َإذِ اقتَرَبُوا مِنَ مَدينَةِ القُدسِ، عِنْدَ بَلْدَةَ بَيتَ فاجِي وَبَيتَ عَنْيا قُرْبَ جَبَلِ الزَّيتُونِ، أرسَلَ يَسُوعُ اثْنَينِ مِنْ تَلامِيذِهِ،

And when they draw nigh unto Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth two of his disciples,

2 و َقالَ لَهُما: «اذهَبا إلَى القَريَةِ الَّتي أمامَكُما. وَعِندَما تَدخُلانِها، سَتَجِدانِ حِماراً صَغِيراً مَربُوطاً لَمْ يَركَبْهُ أحَدٌ مِنْ قَبلُ، فَحُلّاهُ وَأحضِراهُ.

and saith unto them, Go your way into the village that is over against you: and straightway as ye enter into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon no man ever yet sat; loose him, and bring him.

3 ف َإذا سَألَكُما أحَدٌ لِماذا تَفعَلانِ ذَلكَ، قُولا: ‹الرَّبُّ يَحتاجُ إلَيهِ. وَسَيُعِيدُهُ قَرِيباً.›»

And if any one say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye, The Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him back hither.

4 ف َذَهَبَ التِّلميذانِ وَوَجَدا الحِمارَ مَربُوطاً عِنْدَ أحَدِ الأبوابِ فِي الطَّرِيقِ، فَحَلّاهُ.

And they went away, and found a colt tied at the door without in the open street; and they loose him.

5 و َكانَ بَعضُ النّاسِ يَقِفُونَ هُناكَ فَقالُوا لَهُما: «لِماذا تَحُلّانِ الحِمارَ؟»

And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing the colt?

6 ف َقالا لَهُمْ كَما أوصاهُما يَسوعُ، فَسَمَحُوا لَهُما.

And they said unto them even as Jesus had said: and they let them go.

7 و َأحضَرَ التِّلمِيذانِ الحِمارَ الصَّغِيرَ إلَى يَسُوعَ، وَوَضَعا ثِيابَهُما عَلَىْ الحِمارِ، فَجَلَسَ يَسوعُ عَلَيهِ.

And they bring the colt unto Jesus, and cast on him their garments; and he sat upon him.

8 و َكانَ كَثِيرُونَ مِنَ النّاسِ يَفرِشُونَ أردِيَتَهُمْ عَلَى الطَّرِيقِ. وَآخَرُونَ فَرَشُوا أغصاناً قَطَعُوها مِنَ الحُقُولِ.

And many spread their garments upon the way; and others branches, which they had cut from the fields.

9 و َكانَ النّاسُ مَنْ أمامِهِ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِ يَهتِفُونَ: «يَعيشُ المَلِكُ! مُبارَكٌ هُوَ الآتِي بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ.

And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord:

10 م ُبارَكَةٌ مَملَكَةُ أبِينا داوُدُ الآتِيَةُ، يَعيشُ المَلكُ في عُلاه.»

Blessed is the kingdom that cometh, the kingdom of our father David: Hosanna in the highest.

11 ث ُمَّ دَخَلَ يَسُوعُ إلَى القُدسِ وَاتَّجَهَ إلَى ساحَةِ الهَيكَلِ، وَكانَ المَساءُ قَدْ حَلَّ، فألقَى يَسوعُ نَظْرَةً عَلَىْ كُلِّ شَيءٍ حَولَهُ، ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ مَعَ الاثنِي عَشَرَ إلَى بَيتَ عَنْيا. يَسُوعُ يَلعَنُ شَجَرَةَ التِّين

And he entered into Jerusalem, into the temple; and when he had looked round about upon all things, it being now eventide, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve.

12 و َفِي اليَومِ التّالِي، بَينَما هُمْ يُغادِرُونَ بَيتَ عَنْيا، جاعَ يَسُوعُ،

And on the morrow, when they were come out from Bethany, he hungered.

13 و َشاهَدَ مِنْ بَعيدٍ شَجَرَةَ تِينٍ مُورِقَةً. فَتَوَجَّهَ إلَيها لَعَلَّهُ يَجِدُ فِيها بَعْضَ الثِّمارِ، لَكِنَّهُ لَمْ يَجِدْ سِوَى الأوراقِ، وَذَلِكَ لِأنَّ المَوسِمَ لَمْ يَكُنْ مَوسِمَ إثمارِ التِّينِ.

And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find anything thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for it was not the season of figs.

14 ف َقالَ يَسُوعُ لِلشَّجَرَةِ: «لا يَأكُلْ مِنْكِ أحَدٌ بَعْدَ الآنَ!» وَسَمِعَ تَلامِيذُهُ ما قالَهُ. يَسُوعُ يَطرُدُ التُّجّارَ مِنْ ساحَةِ الهَيكَل

And he answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit from thee henceforward for ever. And his disciples heard it.

15 ث ُمَّ دَخَلُوا إلَى القُدْسِ. فَلَمّا دَخَلُوا ساحَةَ الهَيكَلِ، طَرَدَ يَسُوعُ تُجّاراً كانُوا يَبِيعُونَ وَيَشتَرُونَ هُناكَ، وَقَلَبَ مَوائِدَ الصَرّافينَ، وَمَقاعِدَ باعَةِ الحَمامِ.

And they come to Jerusalem: and he entered into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and them that bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of them that sold the doves;

16 و َلَمْ يَسمَحْ لِأحَدٍ بِعُبورِ السّاحَةِ وَهُوَ يَحمِلُ أيَّ غَرَضٍ.

and he would not suffer that any man should carry a vessel through the temple.

17 و َابتَدَأ يُعَلِّمُ النّاسَ وَيَقولُ: «ألَيسَ مَكتُوباً: ‹بَيتِي يُدعَى بَيتَ صَلاةٍ لِجَمِيعِ الأُمَمِ›؟ لَكِنَّكُمْ حَوَّلتُمُوهُ إلَى ‹وَكْرِ لُصُوصِ!› »

And he taught, and said unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations? but ye have made it a den of robbers.

18 و َسَمِعَ كِبارُ الكَهَنَةِ وَمُعَلِّمُو الشَّرِيعَةِ بِما حَدَثَ، فَبَدَأوا يَبحَثُونَ عَنْ طَرِيقَةٍ يَقتُلُونَهُ بِها. لَكِنَّهُمْ كانُوا يَخافُونَ مِنْهُ لأنَّ تَعلِيمَهُ كانَ يُدهِشُ الجَمِيعَ.

And the chief priests and the scribes heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, for all the multitude was astonished at his teaching.

19 و َلَمّا حَلَّ المَساءُ، خَرَجَ يَسُوعُ وَتَلامِيذُهُ مِنَ المَدِينَةِ. قُوَّةُ الإيمان

And every evening he went forth out of the city.

20 و َفِي صَباحِ اليَومِ التّالِي، وَبَينَما هُمْ سائِرُونَ، رَأَوْا شَجَرَةَ التِّينِ وَقَدْ يَبِسَتْ مِنْ جُذُورِها.

And as they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away from the roots.

21 ف َتَذَكَّرَ بُطرُسُ الأمْرَ وَقالَ لِيَسُوعَ: «انظُرْ يا مُعَلِّمُ! الشَّجَرَةُ الَّتِي لَعَنْتَها قَدْ يَبُسَتْ.»

And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Rabbi, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.

22 ف َقالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «آمِنُوا بِاللهِ،

And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.

23 ف َأقُولُ لَكُمُ الحَقَّ، مَنْ قالَ لِهَذا الجَبَلِ: ‹لِتُقلَعْ مِنْ مَكانِكَ وَتُلْقَ فِيْ البَحْرِ،› وَلا يَشُكُّ فِي قَلْبِهِ، بَلْ يُؤْمِنُ بِأنَّ ما يَقُولُهُ سَيَحدُثُ، فَإنَّ كَلامَهُ سَيَتَحَقَّقُ لَهُ.

Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that what he saith cometh to pass; he shall have it.

24 ل ِهَذا أقُولُ لَكُمْ، كُلُّ ما تَطلُبُونَهُ وَأنْتُمْ تُصَلُّونَ، آمِنوا بِأنَّهُ لَكُمْ، فَيَكونَ لَكُمْ.

Therefore I say unto you, All things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

25 و َإذا هَمَمْتُمْ بِالصَلاةِ، فَاغْفِروا أوَّلاً إنْ كانَ فيكُمْ أيُّ شَيءٍ ضِدَّ شَخْصٍ آخَرِ، حَتَّى يَغفِرَ أبُوكُمُ الَّذِي فِي السَّماءِ زَلّاتِكُمْ.

And whensoever ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have aught against any one; that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

26 ف َإنْ لَمْ تَغفِرُوا لِلآخَرِينَ، لا يَغفِرُ لَكُمْ أبُوكُمُ الَّذِي فِي السَّماءِ زَلّاتِكُمْ.» التّشكيكُ بِسُلطانِ يَسُوع

But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in heaven forgive your trespasses.

27 ب َعْدَ ذَلِكَ، عادُوا إلَى القُدسِ. وَبَينَما كانَ يَسُوعُ يَسِيرُ فِي ساحَةِ الهَيكَلِ، جاءَ إلَيهِ كِبارُ الكَهَنَةِ، وَمُعَلِّمُو الشَّرِيعَةِ وَالشُّيُوخُ.

And they come again to Jerusalem: and as he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders;

28 و َسَألَوهُ: «أخبِرنا بِأيِّ سُلطانٍ تَفعَلُ هَذِهِ الأشياءَ، وَمَنِ الَّذِي أعطاكَ هَذا السُّلطانَ؟»

and they said unto him, By what authority doest thou these things? or who gave thee this authority to do these things?

29 ف َقالَ لَهُمْ: «وَسَأسألُكُمْ أنا أيضاً، فَأَجيبونِي أُخبِرْكُمْ بِأيِّ سُلطانٍ أفعَلُ هَذِاَ:

And Jesus said unto them, I will ask of you one question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.

30 ه َلْ كانَتْ مَعمُودِيَّةُ يُوحَنّا مِنَ اللهِ أمْ مِنَ النّاسِ؟ أجِيبُونِي.»

The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men? answer me.

31 ف َتَشاوروا فِي ما بَينَهُمْ وَقالوا: «إنْ قُلْنا إنَّها مِنَ اللهِ، فَسَيَقُولُ لَنا: ‹لِماذا إذاً لَمْ تَقبَلُوها؟›

And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; He will say, Why then did ye not believe him?

32 و َإنْ قُلْنا إنَّها مِنَ النّاسِ، فَإنَّ الشَّعبَ سَيَثورُ عَلَينا.» وَكانَ القادَةُ يَخافُونَ مِنَ الشَّعبِ، لِأنَّ الجَمِيعَ كانوا يَعْتَبِرونَ يُوحَنّا نَبِيّاً بِالفِعِلِ.

But should we say, From men--they feared the people: for all verily held John to be a prophet.

33 ف َأجابُوا يَسُوعَ وَقالُوا: «لا نَعلَمُ.» فَقالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «وَلا أنا أُخبِرُكُمْ بِأيِّ سُلطانٍ أفعَلُ هَذِهِ الأُمُورَ.»

And they answered Jesus and say, We know not. And Jesus saith unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
