1 ف ِي ذَلِكَ الوَقتِ، أخبَرَهُ أشخاصٌ حاضِرُونَ عَنِ الجَلِيلِيِّينَ الَّذِينَ قَتَلَهُمْ بِيلاطُسُ حَتَّىْ إنَّ دِمائَهُمُ اخْتَلَطَتْ بِدَمِ ذَبائِحَهُمْ!

Now on the same occasion there were some present who reported to Him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.

2 ف َأجابَهُمْ: «أتَظُنُّونَ أنَّ هَؤُلاءِ الجَلِيلِيِّينَ كانُوا أكثَرَ شَرّاً مِنْ بَقيَّةِ أهلِ الجَلِيلِ، لأنَّ هَذا حَصَلَ لَهُمْ؟

And Jesus said to them, “ Do you suppose that these Galileans were greater sinners than all other Galileans because they suffered this fate ?

3 أ قُولُ لَكُمْ إنَّ هَذا غَيرُ صَحِيحٍ، بَلْ إن لَمْ تَتُوبُوا، فَسَتَمُوتُونَ جَمِيعاً كَما ماتُوا.

I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.

4 أ وْ ماذا تَقُولُونَ فِي الثَّمانِيَةَ عَشَرَ شَخصاً الَّذِينَ سَقَطَ عَلَيهِمُ البُرجُ فِي سِلوامَ فَقَتَلَهُمْ؟ أتَظُنُّونَ أنَّهُمْ كانُوا أكثَرَ شَرّاً مِنْ بَقيَّةِ أهلِ القُدسِ؟

Or do you suppose that those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them were worse culprits than all the men who live in Jerusalem?

5 أ قُولُ لَكُمْ إنَّ هَذا غَيرُ صَحِيحٍ، بَلْ إنْ لَمْ تَتُوبُوا، فَسَتَمُوتُونَ جَمِيعاً كَما ماتُوا.» شَجَرَةٌ بِلا فائِدَة

I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.”

6 ث ُمَّ رَوَى لَهُمْ هَذا المَثَلَ: «كانَ لِرَجُلٍ شَجَرَةُ تِينٍ مَزرُوعَةً فِي بُستانِهِ. فَجاءَ مُتَوَقِّعاً أنْ يَرَى ثِماراً عَلَيها،

And He began telling this parable: “A man had a fig tree which had been planted in his vineyard; and he came looking for fruit on it and did not find any.

7 ل َكِنَّهُ لَمْ يَجِدْ شَيئاً. فَقالَ لِلبُستانِيِّ: ‹ها قَدْ مَضَتْ ثَلاثُ سَنَواتٍ وَأنا آتِي مُتَوَقِّعاً ثَمَراً مِنْ شَجَرَةِ التِّينِ هَذِهِ، لَكِنِّي لا أجِدُ شَيئاً. اقطَعْها، فَلِماذا أترُكُها تُضَيِّعُ مَساحَةً مِنَ الأرْضِ؟›

And he said to the vineyard-keeper, ‘Behold, for three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree without finding any. Cut it down! Why does it even use up the ground?’

8 ف َأجابَهُ البُستانِيُّ: ‹يا سَيِّدُ، اترُكْها هَذِهِ السَّنَةَ فَقَطْ. فَسَأحفِرُ حَولَها وَأُسَمِّدُها،

And he answered and said to him, ‘Let it alone, sir, for this year too, until I dig around it and put in fertilizer;

9 ل َعَلَّها تُثمِرُ. فإنْ لَمْ تُثمِرِ اقْطَعْها.›» يَسُوعُ يَشفِي امْرأةً يَومَ السَّبت

and if it bears fruit next year, fine; but if not, cut it down.’” Healing on the Sabbath

10 و َكانَ يَسُوعُ يُعَلِّمُ فِي مَجمَعٍ يَومَ سَبتٍ.

And He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath.

11 و َكانَتْ هُناكَ امْرأةٌ فِيها رُوحُ ضَعفٍ مُنذُ ثَمانِيَ عَشرَةَ سَنَةً، حَتَّى إنَّ ظَهرَها كانَ مَحنِيّاً فَلا تَقدِرُ أنْ تَستَقِيمَ.

And there was a woman who for eighteen years had had a sickness caused by a spirit; and she was bent double, and could not straighten up at all.

12 و َحِينَ رَآها يَسُوعُ، ناداها وَقالَ لَها: «أيَّتُها المَرأةُ، أنتِ حُرَّةٌ مِنْ مَرَضِكِ!»

When Jesus saw her, He called her over and said to her, “Woman, you are freed from your sickness.”

13 ث ُمَّ وَضَعَ يَدَيهِ عَلَيها، فَاسْتَقامَ ظَهرُها فَوراً، وَشَكَرَتِ اللهَ.

And He laid His hands on her; and immediately she was made erect again and began glorifying God.

14 ف َغَضِبَ رَئِيسُ المَجمَعِ كَثِيراً لِأنَّ يَسُوعَ شَفَى يَومَ السَّبتِ. فَقالَ لِلنّاسِ: «فِي الأُسبُوعِ سِتَّةُ أيّامٍ يُمكِنُ لِلنّاسِ أنْ يَعمَلُوا فِيها، فَتَعالُوا فِي تِلكَ الأيّامِ وَاستَشْفُوا، لَكِنْ لا تَأْتُوا لِتَستَشْفُوا فِي يَومِ السَّبتِ.»

But the synagogue official, indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, began saying to the crowd in response, “ There are six days in which work should be done; so come during them and get healed, and not on the Sabbath day.”

15 ف َأجابَهُ الرَّبُّ وَقالَ: «أيُّها المُنافِقُونَ، ألا يُخرِجُ كُلُّ واحِدٍ مِنكُمْ ثَورَهُ أوْ حِمارَهُ مِنَ الحَظِيرَةِ فِي السَّبتِ وَيَقُودُهُ لِيَسقِيهِ؟

But the Lord answered him and said, “You hypocrites, does not each of you on the Sabbath untie his ox or his donkey from the stall and lead him away to water him ?

16 و َالآنَ هَذِهِ المَرأةُ هِيَ مِنْ نَسلِ إبراهِيْمَ، وَقَدْ رَبَطَها الشَّيطانُ ثَمانِيَ عَشرَةَ سَنَةً. أفَلا يَجوزُ أنْ تَتَحَرَّرَ فِي السَّبتِ مِمّا رَبَطَها؟»

And this woman, a daughter of Abraham as she is, whom Satan has bound for eighteen long years, should she not have been released from this bond on the Sabbath day?”

17 ف َلَمّا قالَ هَذا، أخزَى الَّذِينَ كانُوا يُعارِضُونَهُ. وَكانَ النّاسُ مُبتَهِجِينَ بِسَبَبِ كُلِّ الأعمالِ العَجِيبَةِ الَّتِي صَنَعَها يَسُوعُ. مَثَلا بِذرةُ الخَردَلِ وَالخَميرَة

As He said this, all His opponents were being humiliated; and the entire crowd was rejoicing over all the glorious things being done by Him. Parables of Mustard Seed and Leaven

18 و َقالَ أيضاً: «كَيفَ أصِفُ لَكُمْ مَلَكُوتَ اللهِ؟ وَبِماذا أُشَبِّهُهُ؟

So He was saying, “ What is the kingdom of God like, and to what shall I compare it?

19 إ نَّهُ يُشبِهُ بِذرَةَ خَردَلٍ أخَذَها إنسانٌ وَزَرَعَها فِي بُستانِهِ، فَنَمَتْ وَصارَتْ شَجَرَةً. وَصَنَعَتْ طُيُورُ السَّماءِ أعشاشَها فِي أغصانِها.»

It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and threw into his own garden; and it grew and became a tree, and the birds of the air nested in its branches.”

20 ث ُمَّ قالَ: «أوْ بِماذا أُشَبِّهُ مَلَكُوتَ اللهِ؟

And again He said, “ To what shall I compare the kingdom of God?

21 إ نَّهُ يُشبِهُ خَمِيرَةً أخَذَتْها امْرأةٌ وَخَلَطَتْها فِي ثَلاثَةِ مَقادِيْرَ مِنَ الطَّحِينِ حَتَّى اختَمَرَ العَجينُ كُلُّهُ.» البابُ الضَّيِّق

It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three pecks of flour until it was all leavened.” Teaching in the Villages

22 و َكانَ يَسُوعُ يَمُرُّ عَبرَ المُدُنِ وَالقُرَى، يُعَلِّمُ النّاسَ فِي طَرِيقِهِ إلَى مَدينَةِ القُدْسِ.

And He was passing through from one city and village to another, teaching, and proceeding on His way to Jerusalem.

23 ف َقالَ لَهُ أحَدُهُمْ: «يا سَيِّدُ، هَلِ الَّذِينَ سَيَخلُصُونَ قَلِيلُونَ؟» فَقالَ لَهُ:

And someone said to Him, “Lord, are there just a few who are being saved?” And He said to them,

24 « اجتَهِدْ لِلدُّخُولِ مِنَ البابِ الضَّيِّقِ. لِأنِّي أقُولُ لَكُمْ إنَّ كَثِيرِينَ سَيُحاوِلُونَ الدُّخُولَ، لَكِنَّهُمْ لَنْ يَقدِرُوا.

“ Strive to enter through the narrow door; for many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able.

25 ف َبَعدَ أنْ يَقُومَ رَبُّ البَيتِ وَيُغلِقَ البابَ، سَتَقِفُونَ خارِجاً وَسَتَقرَعُونَ عَلَى البابِ وَتَقولونَ: ‹افتَحْ لَنا يا رَبُّ!› لَكِنَّهُ سَيُجِيبُكُمْ: ‹لا أعرِفُكُمْ وَلا أعرِفُ مِنْ أينَ أنتُمْ.›

Once the head of the house gets up and shuts the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock on the door, saying, ‘ Lord, open up to us!’ then He will answer and say to you, ‘ I do not know where you are from.’

26 ح ِينَئِذٍ سَتَقُولُونَ: ‹لَقَدْ أكَلْنا مَعَكَ، وَشَرِبْنا مَعَكَ، وَقَدْ عَلَّمْتَ فِي شَوارِعِنا.›

Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in Your presence, and You taught in our streets’;

27 ف َيُجِيبُكُمْ: ‹لا أعرِفُكُمْ، وَلا أعرِفُ مِنْ أينَ أنتُمْ. فَاغرُبُوا عَنْ وَجهِي كُلُّكُمْ يا فاعِلِي الشَّرِّ.›

and He will say, ‘I tell you, I do not know where you are from; depart from Me, all you evildoers.’

28 و َسَتَبكُونَ وَتَصِرُّونَ بِأسنانِكُمْ حِينَ تَرَونَ إبراهِيمَ وَإسْحَقَ وَيَعقُوبَ وَكُلَّ الأنبِياءِ فِي مَلَكُوتِ اللهِ، بَينَما أنتُمْ مَطرُودُونَ خارِجاً.

In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but yourselves being thrown out.

29 و َسَيَأْتِي النّاسُ مِنَ الشَّرقِ وَالغَربِ وَالشَّمالِ وَالجَنُوبِ لِيَأْخُذُوا أماكِنَهُمْ حَولَ المائِدَةِ فِي مَلَكُوتِ اللهِ.

And they will come from east and west and from north and south, and will recline at the table in the kingdom of God.

30 ف َآخِرُ النّاسِ الآنَ سَيَكُونُونَ حِينَئِذٍ أوَّلَ النّاسِ، وَأوَّلُ النّاسِ الآنَ سَيَكُونُونَ حِينَئِذٍ آخِرَ النّاسِ!» يَسُوعُ سَيُمُوتُ فِي مَدينَةِ القُدْس

And behold, some are last who will be first and some are first who will be last.”

31 ف ِي ذَلِكَ الوَقتِ، جاءَ بَعضُ الفِرِّيسِيِّينَ إلَى يَسُوعَ وَقالُوا لَهُ: «اترُكْ هَذا المَكانَ وَاذْهَبْ إلَى مَكانٍ آخَرَ. فَهِيرُودُوسُ يَسعَى إلَى قَتلِكَ.»

Just at that time some Pharisees approached, saying to Him, “Go away, leave here, for Herod wants to kill You.”

32 ف َقالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «اذهَبُوا وَقُولُوا لِذَلِكَ الثَّعلَبِ: ‹ها إنَّني أطرُدُ أرواحاً شِرِّيرَةً مِنَ النّاسِ، وَأشفِيهُمِ اليَومَ وَغَداً. وَفِي اليَومِ الثّالِثِ سَأُكمِلُ عَمَلِي.›

And He said to them, “Go and tell that fox, ‘Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I reach My goal.’

33 غ َيرَ أنَّهُ يَنْبَغِيُ عَلَيَّ أنْ أمضِيَ فِي طَرِيقِي اليَومَ وَغَداً وَبَعدَ غَدٍ. لِأنَّهُ لا يُمكِنُ لِنَبِيٍّ أنْ يَمُوتَ خارِجَ مَدينَةِ القُدْسِ.

Nevertheless I must journey on today and tomorrow and the next day; for it cannot be that a prophet would perish outside of Jerusalem.

34 ي ا قُدسُ، يا قُدْسُ، يا مَنْ تَقتُلِينَ الأنبِياءَ وَتَرجُمِينَ رُسُلَ اللهِ إلَيكِ! كَثِيراً ما اشتَقتُ أنْ أجمَعَ أبناءَكِ مَعاً كَدَجاجَةٍ تَجمَعُ صِغارَها تَحتَ جَناحَيْها! لَكِنَّكُمْ رَفَضْتُمْ.

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, just as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you would not have it!

35 ه ا إنَّ بَيتَكُمْ سَيُترَكُ لَكُمْ فارِغاً! وَأقُولُ لَكُمْ، لَنْ تَرَونِي مَرَّةً أُخْرَى إلَى أنْ تَقُولُوا: ‹مُبارَكٌ هُوَ الَّذِي يَأْتِي بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ.› »

Behold, your house is left to you desolate; and I say to you, you will not see Me until the time comes when you say, ‘ Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’”
