ﻟﻮﻗﺎ 12 ~ Luke 12

picture

1 و َتَجَمَّعَ عِدَّةُ آلافٍ مِنَ النّاسِ حَتَّى كادوا يَدُوسُونَ بَعضُهُمْ بَعضاً. فَبَدَأ يَسُوعُ يَتَحَدَّثُ أوَّلاً لِتَلامِيذِهِ: «احتَرِسُوا مِنْ خَمِيرَةِ الفِرِّيسِيِّينَ، أيْ مِنْ رِيائِهِمْ.

In the meanwhile, when so many thousands of the people had gathered that they were trampling on one another, Jesus commenced by saying primarily to His disciples, Be on your guard against the leaven (ferment) of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

2 ف َما مِنْ مَخفِيٍّ إلّا وَسَيُكشَفُ، وَما مِنْ مَستُورٍ إلّا وَسَيُعلَنُ.

Nothing is covered up that it will not be revealed, or hidden that it will not be known.

3 ف َكُلُّ ما تَقُولُونَهُ فِي الظُّلمَةِ سَيُسْمَعُ فِي النُّورِ، وَكُلُّ ما هَمَستُمْ بِهِ فِي الآذانِ فِي الغُرَفِ المُغلَقَةِ سَيُذاعُ مِنْ فَوقِ سُطُوحِ البُيُوتِ.» خافُوا اللهَ وَحدَه

Whatever you have spoken in the darkness shall be heard and listened to in the light, and what you have whispered in ears and behind closed doors will be proclaimed upon the housetops.

4 « أقُولُ لَكُمْ يا أحِبائي، لا تَخافُوا مِنَ الَّذِينَ يَقتُلُونَ الجَسَدَ، ثُمَّ لا يَقدِرُونَ أنْ يَفعَلُوا ما هُوَ أكثَرَ.

I tell you, My friends, do not dread and be afraid of those who kill the body and after that have nothing more that they can do.

5 س َأقُولُ لَكُمْ مِمَّنْ يَنبَغِي أنْ تَخافُوا: خافُوا مِنْ ذَلِكَ الَّذِي لَهُ السُّلطانُ أنْ يُلقِيَ فِي جُهَنَّمَ بَعدَ أنْ يَقتُلَ. نَعَمْ، أقُولُ لَكُمْ خافُوا مِنهُ.

But I will warn you whom you should fear: fear Him Who, after killing, has power to hurl into hell (Gehenna); yes, I say to you, fear Him!

6 « أما تُباعُ خَمسَةُ عَصافِيرَ بِقِرشَينِ؟ وَمَعَ ذَلِكَ، فَإنَّ اللهَ لا يَنسَى واحِداً مِنها.

Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? And not one of them is forgotten or uncared for in the presence of God.

7 أ مّا أنتُمْ فَحَتَّى شَعرُ رَأْسِكُمْ كُلُّهُ مَعدُودٌ. فَلا تَخافُوا، فَأنْتُمْ أثمَنُ مِنْ عَصافِيرَ كَثِيرَةٍ. لا تَخجَلُوا بِيَسُوع

But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not be struck with fear or seized with alarm; you are of greater worth than many of sparrows.

8 « وَأقُولُ لَكُمْ إنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ يَعتَرِفُ بِي أمامَ الآخَرِينَ، فَسَأعتَرِفُ أنا ابنَ الإنسانِ بِهِ أمامَ مَلائِكَةِ اللهِ.

And I tell you, Whoever declares openly and confesses that he is My worshiper and acknowledges Me before men, the Son of Man also will declare and confess and acknowledge him before the angels of God.

9 و َمَنْ يُنكِرُنِي أمامَ الآخَرِينَ، فَسَأنكِرُهُ أمامَ مَلائِكَةِ اللهِ.

But he who disowns and denies and rejects and refuses to acknowledge Me before men will be disowned and denied and rejected and refused acknowledgement in the presence of the angels of God.

10 « كُلُّ مَنْ يُهِينُ ابنَ الإنسانِ يُمكِنُ أنْ يُغفَرَ لَهُ، أمّا الَّذِي يُهِينُ الرُّوحَ القُدُسَ فَلَنْ يُغفَرَ لَهُ.

And everyone who makes a statement or speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit '> intentionally comes short of the reverence due the Holy Spirit], it will not be forgiven him.

11 « وَعِندَما يُحضِرُونَكُمْ أمامَ المَجامِعِ وَالحُكّامِ وَالسُّلُطاتِ، لا تَقلَقُوا كَيفَ سَتُدافِعُونَ عَنْ أنفُسِكُمْ أوْ ماذا سَتَقُولُونَ،

And when they bring you before the synagogues and the magistrates and the authorities, do not be anxious how you shall reply in defense or what you are to say.

12 ل ِأنَّ الرُّوحَ القُدُسَ سَيُعَلِّمُكُمْ فِي ذَلِكَ الوَقتِ ماذا يَنبَغِي أنْ تَقُولُوا.» يَسُوعُ يُحَذِّرُ مِنَ الأنانِيَّة

For the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour and moment what ought to say.

13 ث ُمَّ قالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَينِ جُمُوعِ النّاسِ: «يا مُعَلِّمُ، قُلْ لِأخِي بِأنْ يُقاسِمَنِي المِيراثَ الَّذِي تَرَكَهُ أبِي!» لَكِنَّ يَسُوعَ قالَ لَهُ:

Someone from the crowd said to Him, Master, order my brother to divide the inheritance and share it with me.

14 « يا رَجُلُ، مَنِ الَّذِي عَيَّنَنِي قاضِياً عَلَيكُما أوْ مُقَسِّماً؟»

But He told him, Man, who has appointed Me a judge or umpire and divider over you?

15 و َقالَ لَهُمْ: «احتَرِسُوا وَاحفَظُوا أنفُسَكُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ طَمَعٍ. فَحَتَّى إذا كانَ لإنسانٍ ما يَزِيدُ عَنْ حاجَتِهِ، فَإنَّ حَياتَهُ لا تَعتَمِدُ عَلَى مُقتَنَياتِهِ.»

And He said to them, Guard yourselves and keep free from all covetousness (the immoderate desire for wealth, the greedy longing to have more); for a man’s life does not consist in and is not derived from possessing overflowing abundance or that which is over and above his needs.

16 ث ُمَّ رَوَى لَهُمْ هَذِهِ القِصَّةَ: «كانَ لِرَجُلٍ غَنِيٍّ أرْضٌ أنتَجَتْ مَحصُولاً وَفِيراً،

Then He told them a parable, saying, The land of a rich man was fertile and yielded plentifully.

17 ف َفَكَّرَ فِي نَفسِهِ: ‹ماذا أفعَلُ يا تُرَى؟ إذْ لَيسَ عِندِي مَكانٌ أخزِنُ فِيهِ مَحاصِيلِي؟›

And he considered and debated within himself, What shall I do? I have no place to gather together my harvest.

18 « فَقالَ: ‹هَذا ما سَأفعَلُهُ: سَأهدِمُ مَخازِنِي وَأبنِي مَخازِنَ أكبَرَ مِنها، وَسَأخزِنُ كُلَّ حُبُوبِي وَخَيراتِي فِيها

And he said, I will do this: I will pull down my storehouses and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain or produce and my goods.

19 و َأقولُ: لَكِ يا نَفسِي خَيراتٌ وَفِيرَةٌ، سَتَدُومُ سَنَواتٍ كَثِيرَةً، فَاطْمَئِنِّي وَتَمَتَّعِي!›

And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have many good things laid up, for many years. Take your ease; eat, drink, and enjoy yourself merrily.

20 « فَقالَ لَهُ اللهُ: ‹أيُّها الأحمَقُ! سَتَنتَهِي حَياتُكَ فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيلَةِ، فَلِمَنْ تَصِيرُ الأشياءُ الَّتِي أعدَدْتَها؟›

But God said to him, You fool! This very night they will demand your soul of you; and all the things that you have prepared, whose will they be?

21 « هَكَذا تَكُونُ حالُ مَنْ يَخزِنُ كُنُوزاً لِنَفسِهِ، دُونَ أنْ يَكُونَ غَنِيّاً بِاللهِ.» مَلَكُوتُ اللهِ أوَّلا

So it is with the one who continues to lay up and hoard possessions for himself and is not rich to God.

22 ث ُمَّ قالَ يَسُوعُ لِتَلامِيذِهِ: «لِهَذا أقُولُ لَكُمْ، لا تَقلَقُوا مِنْ جِهَةِ مَعِيشَتِكُمْ، أيْ بِشَأْنِ ما سَتَأْكُلُونَ. وَلا تَقلَقُوا مِنْ جِهَةِ جَسَدِكُمْ، أيْ بِشَأْنِ ما سَتَلبَسُونَ.

And said to His disciples, Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious and troubled about your life, as to what you will eat; or about your body, as to what you will wear.

23 ل ِأنَّ الحَياةَ أكثَرُ أهَمِّيَّةً مِنَ الطَّعامِ، وَالجَسَدَ أكثَرُ أهَمِيَّةً مِنَ اللِّباسِ.

For life is more than food, and the body than clothes.

24 ا نظُرُوا إلَى الغِربانِ وَتَعَلَّمُوا: إنَّها لا تَبذُرُ وَلا تَحصُدُ، وَلا مَخزَنَ لَها لِتَخزِنَ، لَكِنَّ اللهَ يُطعِمُها. وَكَمْ أنتُمْ أثمَنُ عِندَ اللهِ مِنَ الطُّيُورِ!

Observe and consider the ravens; for they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn; and God feeds them. Of how much more worth are you than the birds!

25 م َنْ مِنكُمْ يَستَطِيعُ أنْ يُضِيفَ إلَى عُمرِهِ ساعَةً واحِدَةً عِندَما يَقلَقُ؟

And which of you by being overly anxious and troubled with cares can add a cubit to his stature or a moment of time to his age ?

26 « فَما دُمتُمْ لا تَستَطِيعُونَ أنْ تَفعَلُوا حَتَّى هَذا الشَّيءَ الصَّغِيرَ، فَلِماذا تَقلَقُونَ مِنْ جِهَةِ بَقِيَّةِ الأُمُورِ؟

If then you are not able to do such a little thing as that, why are you anxious and troubled with cares about the rest?

27 « انظُرُوا كَيفَ تَنمُو الزَّنابِقُ. إنَّها لا تَتعَبُ وَلا تَغزِلُ. لَكِنِّي أقُولُ لَكُمْ، إنَّهُ لَمْ يُكسَ أحَدٌ مِثلَ واحِدَةٍ مِنها، وَلا حَتَّى سُلَيْمانُ فِي كُلِّ مَجدِهِ.

Consider the lilies, how they grow. They neither toil nor spin nor weave; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory (his splendor and magnificence) was not arrayed like one of these.

28 ف َإنْ كانَ اللهُ يُلبِسُ عُشبَ الحُقُولِ الَّذِي تَراهُ هُنا اليَومَ، وَفِي الغَدِ يُلقَى بِهِ فِي الفُرنِ، أفَلا يَهتَمُّ بِكُمْ أكثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ يا قَلِيلِي الإيمانِ!

But if God so clothes the grass in the field, which is alive today, and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, how much more will He clothe you, O you of little faith?

29 « فَلا تُشغِلُوا عُقُولَكُمْ بِما سَتَأْكُلُونَ أوْ بِما سَتَشرَبُونَ، وَلا تَقلَقُوا بِشَأْنِها.

And you, do not seek what you are to eat and what you are to drink; nor be of anxious (troubled) mind '> unsettled, excited, worried, and in suspense];

30 ف َهَذِهِ أُمُورٌ يَسعَى إلَيها أهلُ العالَمِ الآخَرونَ، وَأبُوكُمْ يَعرِفُ أنَّكُمْ تَحتاجُونَ إلَيها.

For all the pagan world is seeking these things, and your Father knows that you need them.

31 ف َاهتَمُّوا أوَّلاً بِمَلَكُوتِ اللهِ، وَسَتُعطَى لَكُمْ هَذِهِ الأُمُورُ أيضاً. لا تَتَّكِلُوا عَلَى المال

Only aim at and strive for and seek His kingdom, and all these things shall be supplied to you also.

32 « لا تَخَفْ أيُّها القَطِيعُ الصَّغِيرُ، فَاللهُ مَسرُورٌ بِإعطائِكُمُ المَلَكُوتَ.

Do not be seized with alarm and struck with fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom!

33 ب ِيعُوا مُقتَنَياتِكُمْ، وَأعطُوا المالَ لِلفُقَراءِ. اقتَنُوا مَحافِظَ لا تَبلَى مَعَ الزَّمَنِ، أيْ كُنُوزاً لا تَفنَى فِي السَّماءِ، حَيثُ لا يَصِلُ اللُّصُوصُ إلَيها، وَلا يُصِيبُها العَفَنُ.

Sell what you possess and give donations to the poor; provide yourselves with purses and handbags that do not grow old, an unfailing and inexhaustible treasure in the heavens, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys.

34 ل ِأنَّ قَلبَكَ سَيَكُونُ حَيثُ يَكونُ كَنزُكَ.» كُونُوا مُستَعِدِّينَ دائِما

For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

35 و َقالَ: «شُدُّوا أحْزِمَتَكُمْ مُتَأهِّبينَ لِلعَمَلِ، وَحافِظُوا عَلَى مَصابِيحِكُمْ مُشتَعِلَةً دائِماً.

Keep your loins girded and your lamps burning,

36 ك ُونُوا كَأشخاصٍ يَنتَظِرُونَ عَودَةَ سَيِّدِهِمْ مِنْ حَفلَةِ عُرسٍ. فَمَتَى جاءَ وَقَرَعَ البابَ، يَفتَحُونَ لَهُ فَوراً.

And be like men who are waiting for their master to return home from the marriage feast, so that when he returns from the wedding and comes and knocks, they may open to him immediately.

37 ه َنِيئاً لِهَؤُلاءِ الخُدّامِ الَّذِينَ يَجِدُهُمْ سَيِّدُهُمْ صاحِينَ وَمُستَعِدِّينَ عِندَ عَودَتِهِ. أقُولُ لَكُمُ الحَقَّ، إنَّهُ سَيَشُدُّ حِزامَهُ، وَيُجلِسُهُمْ عَلَى مائِدَتِهِ وَيَخدِمُهُمْ.

Blessed (happy, fortunate, and to be envied) are those servants whom the master finds awake and alert and watching when he comes. Truly I say to you, he will gird himself and have them recline at table and will come and serve them!

38 ه َنِيئاً لَهُمْ إذا وَجَدَهُمْ مُستَعِدِّينَ هَكَذا، سَواءٌ أجاءَ فِي مُنتَصَفِ اللَّيلِ أمْ قُبَيلَ الفَجرِ.

If he comes in the second watch (before midnight) or the third watch (after midnight), and finds them so, blessed (happy, fortunate, and to be envied) are those servants!

39 « تَأكَّدُوا أنَّهُ لَوْ عَلِمَ صاحِبُ البَيتِ أيَّةَ ساعَةٍ يَنوِي اللِّصُّ أنْ يَأْتِيَ، لَما تَرَكَهُ يَسطُو عَلَى بَيتِهِ.

But of this be assured: if the householder had known at what time the burglar was coming, he would have been awake and alert and watching and would not have permitted his house to be dug through and broken into.

40 ف َكُونُوا أنتُمْ أيضاً مُستَعِدِّيْنَ، لأنَّ ابنَ الإنسانِ سَيَأْتِي فِي لَحظَةٍ لا تَتَوَقَّعُونَها.» الوَكِيلُ الأمِين

You also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour and a moment when you do not anticipate it.

41 ح ينَئِذٍ قالَ بُطرُسُ: «يا رَبُّ، هَلْ تَروِي هَذا المَثَلَ لَنا أمْ لِلجَمِيعِ أيضاً؟»

Peter said, Lord, are You telling this parable for us, or for all alike?

42 ف َقالَ الرَّبُّ: «فَمَنْ هُوَ إذاً الوَكِيلُ الأمِينُ الفَطِنُ الَّذِي يُعَيِّنُهُ السَّيِّدُ مَسؤُولاً عَنْ خُدّامِهِ، لِيُعطِيَهُمْ حِصَّتَهُمْ مِنَ الطَّعامِ فِي وَقتِها المُناسِبِ؟

And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful steward, the wise man whom his master will set over those in his household service to supply them their allowance of food at the appointed time?

43 ه َنِيئاً لِذَلِكَ الخادِمِ الَّذِي حِينَ يَأْتِي سَيِّدُهُ يَجِدُهُ يَقُومُ بِواجِبِهِ.

Blessed (happy and to be envied) is that servant whom his master finds so doing when he arrives.

44 أ قُولُ لَكُمُ الحَقَّ، إنَّهُ سَيُوكِلُهُ عَلَى جَمِيعِ أملاكِهِ.

Truly I tell you, he will set him in charge over all his possessions.

45 « لَكِنْ قَدْ يَقُولُ هَذا الخادِمُ فِي نَفسِهِ: ‹يَبدُو أنَّ سَيِّدِي سَيَتَأخَّرُ فِي مَجِيئِهِ.› فَيَبدَأُ بِضَربِ الخُدّامِ وَالخادِماتِ، وَيَبدَأُ يَأكُلُ وَيَشرَبُ وَيَسكَرُ.

But if that servant says in his heart, My master is late in coming, and begins to strike the menservants and the maids and to eat and drink and get drunk,

46 ف َيَأتِي سَيِّدُ ذَلِكَ الخادِمِ فِي يَومٍ لا يَتَوَقَّعُهُ، وَفِي ساعَةٍ لا يَعرِفُها، فَيُعاقِبُهُ كَما يُعاقَبُ الخائِنُ.

The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour of which he does not know, and will punish him and cut him off and assign his lot with the unfaithful.

47 « فَمِثلُ هَذا الخادِمِ الَّذِي عَرَفَ إرادَةَ سَيِّدِهِ، لَكِنَّهُ لا يَستَعِدَّ وَلا يَعمَلُ بِها، سَيُعاقَبُ عِقاباً شَدِيداً.

And that servant who knew his master’s will but did not get ready or act as he would wish him to act shall be beaten with many.

48 أ مّا الخادِمُ الَّذِي لا يَعرِفُ إرادَةَ سَيِّدِهِ، وَفَعَلَ شَيئاً يَستَحِقُّ العِقابَ، فَسَيُعاقَبُ عِقاباً أخَفَّ. فَمَنْ يُعطَى كَثِيراً يُطلَبُ مِنهُ كَثِيرٌ، وَمَنْ يُؤتَمَنُ عَلَى كَثِيرٍ سَيُطالَبُ بِالكَثِيرِ.» الانقِسامُ حَولَ يَسُوع

But he who did not know and did things worthy of a beating shall be beaten with few. For everyone to whom much is given, of him shall much be required; and of him to whom men entrust much, they will require and demand all the more.

49 « لَقَدْ جِئتُ لِأُشعِلَ ناراً عَلَى الأرْضِ. وَكَمْ أتَمَنَّى لَوْ أنَّها أُشعِلَتْ بِالفِعلِ!

I have come to cast fire upon the earth, and how I wish that it were already kindled!

50 ل ِي مَعمُودِيَّةٌ لا بُدَّ أنْ أتَعَمَّدَ بِها، وَلَنْ تَهدَأ نَفسِي حَتَّى تَتِمَّ.

I have a baptism with which to be baptized, and how greatly and sorely I am urged on (impelled, constrained) until it is accomplished!

51 ه َلْ تَظُنُّونَ أنِّي جِئتُ لِكَي أُرَسِّخَ سَلاماً عَلَى الأرْضِ؟ لا، بَلْ أقُولُ لَكُمْ إنِّي جِئتُ لِأُرَسِّخَ الانقِسامَ!

Do you suppose that I have come to give peace upon earth? No, I say to you, but rather division;

52 أ قُولُ هَذا لِأنَّهُ مُنذُ الآنَ فَصاعِداً، يَكُونُ خَمسَةٌ فِي بَيتٍ واحِدٍ مُنقَسِمِينَ ثَلاثَةً عَلَى اثْنَينِ، وَاثنينِ عَلَى ثَلاثَةٍ.

For from now on in one house there will be five divided, three against two and two against three.

53 ا لأبُ عَلَى ابنِهِ، وَالابنُ عَلَى أبِيهِ. الأُمُّ عَلَى ابنَتِها، وَالبِنتُ عَلَى أُمِّها. الحَماةُ عَلَى كِنَّتِها، وَالكَنَّةُ عَلَى حَماتِها.» فَهمُ هَذا العَصر

They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.

54 و َقالَ يَسُوعُ لِجُمُوعِ النّاسِ: «تَرَونَ غَيمَةً تَظهَرُ فِي الغَربِ، فَتَقُولُونَ: ‹المَطَرُ قادِمٌ،› وَتُمطِرُ السَّماءُ بِالفِعلِ.

He also said to the crowds of people, When you see a cloud rising in the west, at once you say, It is going to rain! And so it does.

55 و َتَهُبُّ رِيحٌ جَنُوبِيَّةٌ فَتَقُولُونَ: ‹سَيَكُونُ الجَوُّ حارّاً.› وَيَكُونُ كَذَلِكَ بِالفِعلِ.

And when a south wind is blowing, you say, There will be severe heat! And it occurs.

56 أ يُّها المُنافِقُونَ، أنتُمْ تُحسِنُونَ تَفسِيرَ عَلاماتِ المَناخِ، فَكَيفَ لا تُحسِنُونَ فَهْمَ هَذا العَصرِ؟» تَسويَةُ الخِلافات

You playactors (hypocrites)! You know how to discern and interpret and prove the looks of the earth and sky; but how is it that you do not know how to discern and interpret and apply the proof to this present time?

57 « وَلِماذا لا تَحكُمُونَ بِأنفُسِكُمْ ما هُوَ الصَّوابُ؟

And why do you not judge what is just and personally decide what is right?

58 ف َبَينَما أنتَ ذاهِبٌ مَعَ خَصمِكَ إلَى الحاكِمِ، ابذُلْ ما فِي وُسعِكَ لِتُسَوِّي خِلافَكَ مَعَهُ عَلَى الطَّرِيقِ. وَإلّا فَإَنَّهُ قَدْ يَجُرُّكَ إلَى القاضِي، وَيُسَلِّمُكَ القاضِي إلَى الضّابِطِ، وَيَزُجُّ بِكَ الضّابِطُ فِي السِّجنِ.

Then as you go with your accuser before a magistrate, on the way make a diligent effort to settle and be quit (free) of him, lest he drag you to the judge, and the judge turn you over to the officer, and the officer put you in prison.

59 أ قُولُ لَكَ إنَّكَ لَنْ تَخرُجَ مِنْ هُناكَ إلَى أنْ تَسُدَّ آخِرَ فِلسٍ عَلَيكَ.»

I tell you, you will never get out until you have paid the very last cent.
