1 و َفِي أحَدِ أيّامِ السَّبتِ كانَ يَسُوعُ مارّاً فِي بَعضِ الحُقُولِ. وَكانَ تَلامِيذُهُ يَقطِفُونَ السَّنابِلَ، ثُمَّ يَفرُكُونَها بِأيدِيهِمْ وَيَأْكُلُونَها.

Now it happened that He was passing through some grainfields on a Sabbath; and His disciples were picking the heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands, and eating the grain.

2 ف َقالَ بَعضُ الفِرِّيْسِيِّينَ: «لِماذا تَفعَلُونَ ما لا يَجُوزُ فِعلُهُ فِي السَّبتِ؟»

But some of the Pharisees said, “Why do you do what is not lawful on the Sabbath?”

3 ف َأجابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ وَقالَ: «ألَمْ تَقرَأُوا فِي الكِتابِ ما فَعَلَهُ داوُدُ عِندَما جاعَ هُوَ وَمَنْ مَعَهُ؟

And Jesus answering them said, “Have you not even read what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him,

4 ل َقَدْ دَخَلَ إلَى بَيتِ اللهِ، وَأخَذَ أرغِفَةَ الخُبزِ المُقَدَّمَةَ إلَى اللهِ، وَأكَلَ مِنها وَأعطَى أيضاً الَّذِيْنَ كانُوا مَعَهُ. وَلا يَجُوزُ لِأحَدٍ أنْ يَأْكُلَ ذَلِكَ الخُبزَ سِوَى الكَهَنَةِ.»

how he entered the house of God, and took and ate the consecrated bread which is not lawful for any to eat except the priests alone, and gave it to his companions?”

5 ث ُمَّ قالَ لَهُمْ: «ابْنُ الإنسانِ هُوَ رَبُّ السَّبتِ.» يَسُوعُ يَشفِي في يَومِ السَّبت

And He was saying to them, “The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”

6 و َفِي سَبتٍ آخَرَ، دَخَلَ يَسُوعُ المَجمَعَ لِيُعَلِّمَ. وَكانَ هُناكَ رَجُلٌ يَدُهُ اليُمنَى مَشلُولَةٌ.

On another Sabbath He entered the synagogue and was teaching; and there was a man there whose right hand was withered.

7 أ مّا مُعَلِّمُو الشَّرِيعَةِ وَالفِرِّيْسِيِّونَ فَكانوا يُراقِبُونَ يَسُوعَ لِيَرَوا إنْ كانَ سَيَشفِي أحَداً فِي السَّبتِ، وَذَلِكَ لِيَجِدوا مُبَرِّراً لِتَوجِيهِ تُهمَةٍ إلَيهِ.

The scribes and the Pharisees were watching Him closely to see if He healed on the Sabbath, so that they might find reason to accuse Him.

8 ف َعَرَفَ يَسُوعُ أفكارَهُمْ، فَقالَ لِلرَّجُلِ ذِي اليَدِ المَشلُولَةِ: «انهَضْ وَقِفْ أمامَ الجَمِيعِ!» فَنَهَضَ الرَّجُلُ وَوَقَفَ أمامَ الجَمِيعِ.

But He knew what they were thinking, and He said to the man with the withered hand, “Get up and come forward!” And he got up and came forward.

9 ف َقالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «أُرِيدُ أنْ أسألَكُمْ: هَلْ يَجُوزُ فِعلُ الخَيرِ أمْ فِعلُ الأذَى في يَومِ السَّبتِ؟ أيَجُوزُ إنقاذُ حَياةِ إنسانٍ أمْ إهلاكُها؟»

And Jesus said to them, “I ask you, is it lawful to do good or to do harm on the Sabbath, to save a life or to destroy it?”

10 و َنَظَرَ يَسُوعُ حَولَهُ إلَيْهِمْ كُلِّهِمْ، ثُمَّ قالَ لِلرَّجُلِ: «مُدَّ يَدَكَ،» فَمَدَّها، فَشُفِيَتْ!

After looking around at them all, He said to him, “Stretch out your hand!” And he did so; and his hand was restored.

11 ل َكِنَّهُمُ امتَلأُوا غَضَباً شَدِيداً، وَأخَذوا يَتَشاورونَ حَولَ ما يُمكِنُهُمْ أنْ يَفعَلُوهُ لِيَسُوعَ. يَسُوعُ يَختارُ الاثنَي عَشَر

But they themselves were filled with rage, and discussed together what they might do to Jesus. Choosing the Twelve

12 و َفِي تِلكَ الأيّامِ، خَرَجَ يَسُوعُ إلَى جَبَلٍ لِيُصَلِّي، وَأمضَى اللَّيلَةَ فِي الصَّلاةِ.

It was at this time that He went off to the mountain to pray, and He spent the whole night in prayer to God.

13 و َلَمّا جاءَ النَّهارُ، دَعا تَلامِيذَهُ، وَاختارَ مِنْ بَينِهِمُ اثنَي عَشَرَ سَمّاهُمْ رُسُلاً.

And when day came, He called His disciples to Him and chose twelve of them, whom He also named as apostles:

14 و َهُمْ: سِمعانُ الَّذِي سَمّاهُ أيضاً بُطرُسَ، أندراوُسُ أخُو بُطرُسَ، يَعقُوبُ، يُوحَنّا، فِيلِيبُّسُ، بَرثُولَماوُسُ،

Simon, whom He also named Peter, and Andrew his brother; and James and John; and Philip and Bartholomew;

15 م َتَّى، تُوما، يَعقُوبُ بْنَ حَلفَى، سِمعانُ الَّذِي يُدعَى أيضاً «الغَيُورُ،»

and Matthew and Thomas; James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon who was called the Zealot;

16 ي َهُوذا بنَ يَعقُوبَ، يَهُوذا الإسْخَريُوطِّيَّ الَّذِي أصبَحَ خائِناً. يَسُوعُ يُعَلِّمُ وَيَشفِي

Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.

17 ث ُمَّ نَزَلَ يَسُوعُ عَنِ الجَبَلِ وَوَقَفَ عَلَى أرْضٍ مُنبَسِطَةٍ، وَكانَ هُناكَ جَمعٌ عَظِيمٌ مِنْ أتباعِهِ، وَعَدَدٌ كَبِيرٌ مِنَ النّاسِ مِنْ جَمِيعِ أنحاءِ مِنْطَقَةِ اليَهُودِيَّةِ وَمِنْ مَدينَةِ القُدسِ وَمِنْ ساحِلِ صُورَ وَصَيداءَ.

Jesus came down with them and stood on a level place; and there was a large crowd of His disciples, and a great throng of people from all Judea and Jerusalem and the coastal region of Tyre and Sidon,

18 ك انَ هَؤُلاءِ قَدْ جاءُوا لِيَستَمِعُوا إلَيهِ، وَلِيُشفُوا مِنْ أمراضِهِمْ. وَشُفِيَ أيضاً المُتَضايِقُونَ مِنْ أرواحٍ شِرِّيرَةٍ.

who had come to hear Him and to be healed of their diseases; and those who were troubled with unclean spirits were being cured.

19 و َكانَ الجُمهُورُ يَسعَى إلَى لَمسِهِ. فَقَدْ كانَتْ تَخرُجُ مِنهُ قُوَّةٌ وَتَشفِيهِمْ جَمِيعاً.

And all the people were trying to touch Him, for power was coming from Him and healing them all. The Beatitudes

20 ث ُمَّ رَفَعَ يَسُوعُ نَظَرَهُ إلَى تَلامِيذِهِ وَقالَ: «هَنِيئاً لَكُمْ أيُّها المَساكِينُ، لِأنَّ مَلَكُوتَ اللهِ قَدْ أُعطِيَ لَكُمْ.

And turning His gaze toward His disciples, He began to say, “ Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.

21 ه َنِيئاً لَكُمْ يا مَنْ أنتُمْ جِياعٌ الآنَ، لِأنَّكُمْ سَتُشبَعُونَ. هَنِيئاً لَكُمْ يا مَنْ تَبكُونَ الآنَ، لِأنَّكُمْ سَتَضحَكُونَ.

Blessed are you who hunger now, for you shall be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh.

22 ه َنِيئاً لَكُمْ عِندَما يُبغِضُكُمُ النّاسُ وَيَرفضونَكُمْ بِحِجَّةِ أنَّكُمْ أشرارٌ، فَقَطْ لِأنَّكُمْ تَتبَعُونَ ابنَ الإنسانِ.

Blessed are you when men hate you, and ostracize you, and insult you, and scorn your name as evil, for the sake of the Son of Man.

23 ا بتَهِجُوا فِي ذَلِكَ اليَومِ وَافرَحُوا فَرَحاً عَظِيماً. فَها هِيَ مُكافَأتُكُمْ عَظِيمَةٌ فِي السَّماءِ! فَآباؤهُمْ فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ مَعَ الأنبِياءِ.

Be glad in that day and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven. For in the same way their fathers used to treat the prophets.

24 « الوَيلُ لَكُمْ أيُّها الأغنِياءُ، لِأنَّكُمْ قَدْ نِلتُمْ نَصِيْبَكُمْ مِنَ الرّاحَةِ.

But woe to you who are rich, for you are receiving your comfort in full.

25 ا لوَيلُ لَكُمْ يا مَنْ شَبِعتُمُ الآنَ، لِأنَّكُمْ سَتَجُوعُونَ. الوَيلُ لَكُمْ يا مَنْ تَضحَكُونَ الآنَ، لِأنَّكُمْ سَتَنُوحُونَ وَتَبكُونَ.

Woe to you who are well-fed now, for you shall be hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you shall mourn and weep.

26 ا لوَيلُ لَكُمْ عِندَما يَمدَحُكُمْ جَمِيعُ النّاسِ، فَآباؤهُمْ فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ مَعَ الأنبِياءِ المُزَيَّفِينَ. أحِبُّوا أعداءَكُم

Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for their fathers used to treat the false prophets in the same way.

27 « أمّا أنتُمْ أيُّها السّامِعُونَ، فَأقُولُ لَكُمْ: أحِبُّوا أعداءَكُمْ، اصنَعُوا خَيراً مَعَ مَنْ يُبغِضُونَكُمْ.

“But I say to you who hear, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,

28 ب ارِكُوا لاعِنِيكُمْ، وَصَلُّوا لِأجلِ الَّذِينَ يُسِيئُونَ مُعامَلَتَكُمْ.

bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.

29 إ ذا لَطَمَكَ أحَدٌ عَلَى خَدِّكَ، فَقَدِّمْ لَهُ الخَدَّ الآخَرَ أيضاً. وَإذا أخَذَ أحَدُهُمْ مِعطَفَكَ، فَدَعهُ يَأخُذُ قَمِيصَكَ أيضاً.

Whoever hits you on the cheek, offer him the other also; and whoever takes away your coat, do not withhold your shirt from him either.

30 أ عطِ كُلَّ مَنْ يَطلُبُ مِنكَ. وَإذا أخَذَ أحَدُهُمْ مالَكَ، فَلا تُطالِبْ باستِرجاعِهِ.

Give to everyone who asks of you, and whoever takes away what is yours, do not demand it back.

31 و َكَما تُحِبُّ أنْ يُعامِلَكَ الآخَرُونَ، هَكَذا عَلَيكَ أنْ تُعامِلَهُمْ.

Treat others the same way you want them to treat you.

32 « إنْ أحبَبْتُمْ مَنْ يُحِبُّونَكُمْ فَقَط، فَأيَّ مَدِيحٍ تَستَحِقُّونَ؟ فَحَتَّى الخُطاةُ يُحِبُّونَ مَنْ يُحِبُّونَهُمْ.

If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.

33 و َإنْ صَنَعتُمْ خَيراً لِمَنْ يَصنَعُونَ الخَيرَ لَكُمْ، فَأيَّ مَدِيحٍ تَستَحِقُّونَ؟ فَحَتَّى الخُطاةُ يَفعَلُونَ هَذا.

If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.

34 و َإنْ أقرَضْتُمُ الَّذِينَ تَأْمَلُونَ أنْ تَستَرِدُّوا مِنهُمْ مالَكُمْ، فَأيَّ مَدِيحٍ تَستَحِقُّونَ؟ فَحَتَّى الخُطاةُ يُقرِضُونَ الخُطاةَ، لِيَستَرِدُّوا مالَهُمْ كامِلاً.

If you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners in order to receive back the same amount.

35 « لَكِنْ أحِبُّوا أعداءَكُمْ، وَاصنَعُوا الخَيرَ لَهُمْ. أقرِضُوا وَلا تَنتَظِرُوا أنْ تَستَرِدُّوا شَيئاً، فَتَكُونَ مُكافَأتَكُمْ عَظِيمَةٌ، وَتَكُونُونَ أبناءَ اللهِ العَلِيِّ. فَهوَ كَرِيمٌ حَتَّى نَحوَ النّاكِرِيْنَ لِلجَمِيلِ وَلِلأشرارِ.

But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for He Himself is kind to ungrateful and evil men.

36 ك ُونُوا رُحَماءَ كَما أنَّ أباكُمْ رَحِيمٌ. انظُرُوا إلَى أنفُسِكُم

Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.

37 « لا تَحكُمُوا عَلَى الآخَرِيْنَ، فَلا يُحكَمَ عَلَيكُمْ. لا تَدِينُوا الآخَرِينَ، فَلا تُدانُوا. سامِحُوا الآخَرِيْنَ فَتُسامَحُوا.

“ Do not judge, and you will not be judged; and do not condemn, and you will not be condemned; pardon, and you will be pardoned.

38 أ عطُوا الآخَرِينَ فَتُعطَوا. فَسَيَضَعونَ في أحضانِكُمْ كَيلاً كَبِيْراً مُلبَّداً مَهزُوزاً فائِضاً. فَبِالكَيلِ الَّذِي تَكِيلُونَ بِهِ لِلآخَرِيْنَ سَيُكالُ لَكُمْ.»

Give, and it will be given to you. They will pour into your lap a good measure—pressed down, shaken together, and running over. For by your standard of measure it will be measured to you in return.”

39 و َقالَ لَهُمْ أيضاً هَذا المَثَلَ: «هَلْ يَستَطِيعُ أعمَى أنْ يَقُودَ أعمَى؟ أفَلا يَقَعُ الاثنانِ فِي حُفرَةٍ؟

And He also spoke a parable to them: “ A blind man cannot guide a blind man, can he? Will they not both fall into a pit?

40 ف َما مِنْ تِلمِيذٍ أفضَلُ مِنْ مُعَلِّمِهِ. بَلْ مَتَى تَدَرَّبَ إنسانٌ تَدرِيباً كامِلاً، صارَ مِثلَ مُعَلِّمِهِ.

A pupil is not above his teacher; but everyone, after he has been fully trained, will be like his teacher.

41 « لِماذا تَرَى القَشَّةَ فِي عَينِ أخِيكَ لَكِنَّكَ لا تُلاحِظُ الخَشَبَةَ الكَبِيْرَةَ فِي عَينِكَ أنتَ؟

Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?

42 و َكَيفَ يُمكِنُكَ أنْ تَقُولَ لِأخِيكَ: يا أخِي، دَعنِي أُخرِجُ القَشَّةَ مِنْ عَينِكَ، وَأنتَ لا تَرَى الخَشَبَةَ الَّتي فِي عَينِكَ؟ يا مُنافِقُ! أخرِجْ أوَّلاً الخَشَبَةَ مِنْ عَينِكَ، وَبَعدَ ذَلِكَ سَتَرَى بِوُضُوحٍ لإخراجِ القَشَّةِ مِنْ عَينِ أخِيكَ. نَوعانِ مِنَ الثِّمار

Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take out the speck that is in your eye,’ when you yourself do not see the log that is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck that is in your brother’s eye.

43 « الشَّجَرَةُ الجَيِّدَةُ لا تَحمِلُ ثَمَراً رَدِيئاً، وَالشَّجَرَةُ الرَّدِيئَةُ لا تَحمِلُ ثَمَراً جَيِّداً.

For there is no good tree which produces bad fruit, nor, on the other hand, a bad tree which produces good fruit.

44 ف َكُلُّ شَجَرَةٍ تُعْرَفُ مِنْ ثَمَرِها. لا يَجني النّاسُ التِّيْنَ مِنَ الأشواكِ، وَلا يَقطِفُونَ العِنَبَ عَنْ شُجَيرَةِ العُلَّيْقِ!

For each tree is known by its own fruit. For men do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they pick grapes from a briar bush.

45 ف َالإنسانُ الصّالِحُ يُخرِجُ ما هُوَ صالِحٌ مِنَ الصَّلاحِ المَخزُونِ فِي قَلبِهِ، وَالإنسانُ الشِّرِّيْرُ يُخرِجُ ما هُوَ شِرِّيرٌ مِنَ الشَّرِّ المَخزُونِ فِي قَلبِهِ. لِأنَّ الفَمَ يَتَكَلَّمُ بِما يَمتَلِئُ بِهِ القَلبُ. نَوعانِ مِنَ النّاس

The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth what is good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth what is evil; for his mouth speaks from that which fills his heart. Builders and Foundations

46 « لِماذا تَدعُونَنِي: ‹يا رَبُّ، يا رَبُّ،› وَلا تَفعَلُونَ ما أقُولُ؟

“ Why do you call Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?

47 د َعُونِي أُشَبِّهُ لَكُمْ كُلَّ مَنْ يَأْتِي إلَيَّ، وَيَسمَعُ تَعالِيْمِي وَيُطِيعُها.

Everyone who comes to Me and hears My words and acts on them, I will show you whom he is like:

48 إ نَّهُ أشبَهُ بِرَجُلٍ يَبنِي بَيتاً، فَحَفَرَ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ عَمِيقاً، وَوَضَعَ الأساسَ عَلَى الصَّخرِ. وَعِندَما جاءَ الفَيَضانُ، ارتَطَمَ النَّهرُ بِذَلِكَ البَيتِ، لَكِنَّهُ لَمْ يَقدِرْ أنْ يَهُزَّهُ لِأنَّهُ كانَ حَسَنَ البِناءِ.

he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid a foundation on the rock; and when a flood occurred, the torrent burst against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built.

49 « أمّا الشَّخصُ الَّذِي يَسمَعُ تَعالِيمِي وَلا يُطِيْعُها، فَهُوَ أشبَهُ بِرَجُلٍ بَنَى بَيْتَهُ عَلَى الأرْضِ دُونَ أساسٍ قَوِيٍّ. فَارتَطَمَ بِهِ النَّهرُ، فَسَقَطَ فَوراً. وَدُمِّرَ البَيتُ تَدمِيراً كامِلاً.»

But the one who has heard and has not acted accordingly, is like a man who built a house on the ground without any foundation; and the torrent burst against it and immediately it collapsed, and the ruin of that house was great.”
