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

On the next Day of Rest Jesus was walking through the grain-fields. His followers picked grain. They rubbed it in their hands and ate it.

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

Some of the proud religious law-keepers said to them, “Why are you doing what the Law says should not be done on the Day of Rest?”

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

Jesus answered them, “Have you not read what David did when he and his men were hungry?

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.»

He went into the house of God and ate the special bread used in the religious worship. He gave some to those who were with him also. The Law says only the religious leaders may eat that bread.

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

The Son of Man is Lord of the Day of Rest also.” Jesus Heals on the Day of Rest

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

On another Day of Rest Jesus went into the Jewish place of worship and taught. A man with a dried-up hand was there.

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

The teachers of the Law and the proud religious law-keepers watched to see if He would heal on the Day of Rest. They wanted to have something to say against Him.

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

Jesus knew what they were thinking. He said to the man with the dried-up hand, “Stand up and come here.” The man stood up and went to Jesus.

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

Then Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one thing. Does the Law say to do good on the Day of Rest or to do bad? To save life or to kill?”

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

Jesus looked around at them all and said to the man, “Put out your hand.” He put it out and his hand was healed. It was as good as his other hand.

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

The teachers of the Law and the proud religious law-keepers were filled with anger. They talked with each other about what they might do to Jesus. Jesus Calls His Twelve Followers

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

One day Jesus went up on a mountain to pray. He prayed all night to God.

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

In the morning He called His followers to Him. He chose twelve of them and called them.

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

There were Simon, whom He also named Peter, and his brother Andrew. There were James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,

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

Matthew and Thomas. There were James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon the Canaanite.

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

There were Judas, who was the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot who would hand Jesus over to be killed. Jesus Heals Many People

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.

Then Jesus came down and stood on a plain with many of His followers. Many people came from the country of Judea and from Jerusalem and from the cities of Tyre and Sidon. They came to hear Him and to be healed of their diseases.

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

Those who were troubled with demons came and were healed.

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

All the people tried to put their hands on Jesus. Power came from Him and He healed them all. Jesus Teaches on the Mountain

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

He looked at His followers and said, “Those of you who are poor are happy, because the holy nation of God is yours.

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

Those of you who are hungry now are happy, because you will be filled. Those of you who have sorrow now are happy, because you will laugh.

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

You are happy when men hate you and do not want you around and put shame on you because you trust in Me.

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. Be full of joy for your reward is much in heaven. Their fathers did these things to the early preachers.

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

“It is bad for you who are rich. You are receiving all that you will get.

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

It is bad for you who are full. You will be hungry. It is bad for you who laugh now. You will have sorrow and you will cry.

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

It is bad for you when everyone speaks well of you. In the same way, their fathers spoke well of the false teachers. Jesus Teaches What the Law Says about Love

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

“I say to you who hear Me, love those who work against you. Do good to those who hate you.

28 ب ارِكُوا لاعِنِيكُمْ، وَصَلُّوا لِأجلِ الَّذِينَ يُسِيئُونَ مُعامَلَتَكُمْ.

Respect and give thanks for those who try to bring bad to you. Pray for those who make it very hard for 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 one side of the face, turn so he can hit the other side also. Whoever takes your coat, give him your shirt also.

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

Give to any person who asks you for something. If a person takes something from you, do not ask for it back.

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

Do for other people what you would like to have them do for you.

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

“If you love those who love you, what pay can you expect from that? Sinners also 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 pay can you expect from that? Sinners also do good to those who do good to them.

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

If you let people use your things and expect to get something back, what pay can you expect from that? Even sinners let sinners use things and they expect to get something back.

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 those who hate you. Do good to them. Let them use your things and do not expect something back. Your reward will be much. You will be the children of the Most High. He is kind to those who are not thankful and to those who are full of sin. Jesus Teaches about Finding Bad in Others

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

“You must have loving-kindness just as your Father has loving-kindness.

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

Do not say what is wrong in other people’s lives. Then other people will not say what is wrong in your life. Do not say someone is guilty. Then other people will not say you are guilty. Forgive other people and other people will forgive you.

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. You will have more than enough. It can be pushed down and shaken together and it will still run over as it is given to you. The way you give to others is the way you will receive in return.”

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

Jesus used a picture-story as He spoke to them. He said, “Can one blind man lead another blind man? Will they not fall into the ditch together?

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

The follower is not more important than his teacher. But everyone who learns well will be like his teacher. Jesus Teaches about Saying What Is Wrong in Others

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

“Why do you look at the small piece of wood in your brother’s eye and do not see the big piece of wood 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

How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take that small piece of wood out of your eye,’ when you do not see the big piece of wood in your own eye? You pretend to be someone you are not. First, take the big piece of wood out of your own eye. Then you can see better to take the small piece of wood out of your brother’s eye. Jesus Teaches about False Teachers

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

“A good tree cannot have bad fruit. A bad tree cannot have good fruit.

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

For every tree is known by its own fruit. Men do not gather figs from thorns. They do not gather grapes from thistles.

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

Good comes from a good man because of the riches he has in his heart. Sin comes from a sinful man because of the sin he has in his heart. The mouth speaks of what the heart is full of. Jesus Teaches about Houses Built on Rock and Sand

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

“And why do you call Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ but do not do what I say?

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

Whoever comes to Me and hears and does what I say, I will show you who 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 who built a house. He dug deep to put the building on rock. When the water came up and the river beat against the house, the building could not be shaken because it was built on rock.

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 he who hears and does not do what I say, is like a man who built a house on nothing but earth. The water beat against the house. At once it fell and was destroyed.”
