1 N ow after this the Lord appointed seventy others, and sent them in pairs ahead of Him to every city and place where He Himself was going to come.

بَعدَ هَذِهِ الأحداثِ، عَيَّنَ الرَّبُّ اثْنَينِ وَسَبعِينَ آخَرِيْنَ. وَأرسَلَهُمْ أمامَهُ إلَى كُلِّ بَلدَةٍ وَمَكانٍ يَنوِي الذَّهابَ إلَيْهِ.

2 A nd He was saying to them, “ The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.

وَقالَ لَهُمْ: «الحَصادُ كَثِيْرٌ، لَكِنَّ الحَصّادِيْنَ قَلِيلُونَ. فَصَلُّوا لِرَبِّ الحَصادِ أنْ يُرسِلَ حَصّادِينَ إلَى الحَصادِ.

3 G o; behold, I send you out as lambs in the midst of wolves.

«اذهَبُوا! وَتَذَكَّرُوا بِأنِّي أُرسِلُكُمْ كَحِملانٍ بَيْنَ ذِئابٍ.

4 C arry no money belt, no bag, no shoes; and greet no one on the way.

لا تَحمِلُوا مَعَكُمْ مِحفَظَةً أوْ حَقِيبَةً أوْ حِذاءً، وَلا تُحَيُّوا أحَداً فِي الطَّرِيقِ.

5 W hatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace be to this house.’

وَعِندَما تَدخُلُونَ أيَّ بَيتٍ، قُولُوا أوَّلاً: ‹لِيَحِلَّ السَّلامُ عَلَى هَذا البَيتِ.›

6 I f a man of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you.

فَإنْ كانَ فِيْهِ مُحِبٌّ لِلسَّلامِ، فَسَيَحِلُّ سَلامُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ. وَإلّا، فَإنَّ سَلامَكُمْ سَيَرجِعُ إلَيْكُمْ.

7 S tay in that house, eating and drinking what they give you; for the laborer is worthy of his wages. Do not keep moving from house to house.

وَأقِيْمُوا فِي ذَلِكَ البَيتِ، وَكُلُوا وَاشرَبُوا مِنْ كُلِّ ما يُقَدِّمُونَهُ لَكُمْ، فَالعامِلُ يَستَحِقُّ أُجرَتَهُ. وَلا تَمكُثُوا فِي بُيُوتٍ مُختَلِفَةٍ أثناءَ إقامَتِكُمْ فِي مَدِيْنَةٍ.

8 W hatever city you enter and they receive you, eat what is set before you;

«وَمَتَى دَخَلْتُمْ مَدِيْنَةً وَلَقِيْتُمْ تَرحِيباً مِنْ أهلِها، فَكُلُوا ما يُوضَعُ أمامَكُمْ.

9 a nd heal those in it who are sick, and say to them, ‘ The kingdom of God has come near to you.’

وَاشفُوا المَرضَى فِي تِلكَ المَدِيْنَةِ، وَقُولُوا لِأهلِها: ‹لَقَدِ اقتَرَبَ مِنكُمْ مَلَكُوتُ اللهِ!›

10 B ut whatever city you enter and they do not receive you, go out into its streets and say,

«فَإذا دَخَلْتُمْ مَدِيْنَةً، وَلَمْ يُرَحِّبْ بِكُمْ أهلُها، اخرُجُوا إلَى شَوارِعِها وَقُولُوا:

11 ‘ Even the dust of your city which clings to our feet we wipe off in protest against you; yet be sure of this, that the kingdom of God has come near.’

‹حَتَّى غُبارُ مَدِيْنَتِكُمُ الَّذِي عَلِقَ بِأقدامِنا نَنفُضُهُ عَلَيْكُمْ! وَلَكِنِ اعلَمُوا أنَّ مَلَكُوتَ اللهِ قَدِ اقتَرَبَ!›

12 I say to you, it will be more tolerable in that day for Sodom than for that city.

أقُولُ لَكُمْ إنَّ حالَ أهلِ سَدُومَ فِي يَومِ الدَّيْنُونَةِ سَيَكُونُ أهوَنَ مِنْ حالِ تِلكَ المَدِيْنَةِ.» يَسُوعُ يُحَذِّرُ المُدَنَ الخاطئة

13 “ Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles had been performed in Tyre and Sidon which occurred in you, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

«الوَيلُ لَكِ يا كُورْزِيْنُ! الوَيلُ لَكِ يا بَيْتَ صَيدا! لِأنَّهُ لَوْ جَرَتِ المُعجِزاتُ الَّتِي جَرَتْ فِيْكُما فِي صُورَ وَصَيداءَ، لَتابَتا مُنذُ زَمَنٍ بَعِيدٍ، وَلارتَدَى أهلُها الخَيشَ، وَجَلَسُوا عَلَى الرَّمادِ.

14 B ut it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment than for you.

لِهَذا سَيَكُونُ حالُ أهلِ صُورَ وَصَيداءَ أهوَنَ مِنْ حالِكُما يَومَ الدَّينُونَةِ.

15 A nd you, Capernaum, will not be exalted to heaven, will you? You will be brought down to Hades!

وَأنتِ يا كَفْرَناحُومَ، هَلْ تَتَوَهَّمِيْنَ أنَّكِ سَتُرفَعِينَ إلَى السَّماءِ؟ لا، بَلْ سَتَهبِطِيْنَ إلَى الهاوِيَةِ!

16 “ The one who listens to you listens to Me, and the one who rejects you rejects Me; and he who rejects Me rejects the One who sent Me.” The Happy Results

مَنْ يُطِيْعُكُمْ يا تَلامِيذِي يُطِيْعُنِي، وَمَنْ يَرفُضُكُمْ يَرفُضُنِي، وَمَنْ يَرفُضُنِي يَرفُضُ ذاكَ الَّذِي أرسَلَنِي.» سُقُوطُ الشَّيْطان

17 T he seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name.”

وَعادَ الاثنانِ وَالسَّبعُونَ بِفَرَحٍ وَقالُوا: «يا رَبُّ، حَتَّى الأرواحُ الشِّرِّيْرَةُ تَخضَعُ لَنا عِندَما نَأْمُرُها باسْمِكَ!»

18 A nd He said to them, “I was watching Satan fall from heaven like lightning.

فَقالَ لَهُمْ: «لَقَدْ رَأيتُ الشَّيطانَ ساقِطاً كَبَرقٍ مِنَ السَّماءِ!

19 B ehold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will injure you.

ها قَدْ أعطَيتُكُمْ سُلطاناً لِكَي تَدُوسُوا الأفاعِيَ وَالعَقارِبَ، وَسُلطاناً عَلَى كُلِّ قُوَّةِ العَدُوِّ، وَلَنْ يُؤذِيَكُمْ شَيءٌ.

20 N evertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are recorded in heaven.”

لَكِنْ لا تَفرَحُوا لِأنَّ الأرواحَ الشِّرِّيْرَةَ تَخضَعُ لَكُمْ، بَلِ افرَحُوا لِأنَّ أسماءَكُمْ مَكتُوبَةٌ فِي السَّماءِ.» يَسُوعُ يُصَلِّي إلَى الآب

21 A t that very time He rejoiced greatly in the Holy Spirit, and said, “I praise You, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent and have revealed them to infants. Yes, Father, for this way was well-pleasing in Your sight.

وَفِي تِلكَ اللَّحظَةِ امتَلأ يَسُوعُ فَرَحاً مِنَ الرُّوحِ القُدُسِ، وَقالَ: «أشكُرُكَ أيُّها الآبُ، رَبَّ السَّماءِ وَالأرْضِ. فَقَدْ أخفَيْتَ هَذِهِ الأُمُورَ عَنِ الحُكَماءِ وَالأذكِياءِ، وَكَشَفْتَها لِلبُسَطاءِ كَالأطفالِ. نَعَمْ يا أبِي، لِأنَّكَ سُرِرْتَ بِعَمَلِ هَذا.

22 A ll things have been handed over to Me by My Father, and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.”

لَقَدْ سَلَّمَنِي الآبُ كُلَّ شَيءٍ. فَلا أحَدَ يَعرِفُ الابْنَ إلّا الآبُ، وَلا أحَدَ يَعرِفُ الآبَ إلّا الابْنُ وَكُلُّ مَنْ يَشاءُ الابنُ أنْ يَكشِفَ لَهُ.»

23 T urning to the disciples, He said privately, “Blessed are the eyes which see the things you see,

بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ، انْفَرَدَ يَسوعُ بِتَلاميذِهِ، وَالتَفَتَ إلَيْهِمْ وَقالَ: «هَنِيْئاً لِلعُيُونِ الَّتِي تَرَى ما أنتُمْ تَرَونَهُ الآنَ

24 f or I say to you, that many prophets and kings wished to see the things which you see, and did not see them, and to hear the things which you hear, and did not hear them.”

لِأنِّي أقُولُ لَكُمْ إنَّ مُلُوكاً وَأنبِياءَ كَثِيْرِينَ اشتَهُوا أنْ يَرَوا ما تَرَونَ وَلَمْ يَرَوا، وَاشْتَهَوا أنْ يَسمَعُوا ما تَسمَعُونَ وَلَمْ يَسمَعُوا.» السّامِرِيُّ الصّالِح

25 A nd a lawyer stood up and put Him to the test, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”

ثُمَّ وَقَفَ واحِدٌ مِنْ خُبَراءِ الشَّرِيعَةِ لِيَمتَحِنَ يَسُوعَ، فَسَألَهُ: «يا مُعَلِّمُ، ماذا يَنْبَغِيُ أنْ أفعَلَ لِكَي أنالَ الحَياةَ الأبَدِيَّةَ؟»

26 A nd He said to him, “What is written in the Law? How does it read to you?”

فَقالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «ما المَكتُوبُ فِي الشَّرِيعَةِ؟ وَكَيفَ تَفهَمُهُ؟»

27 A nd he answered, “ You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.”

فَأجابَ: «مَكتُوبٌ: ‹تُحِبُّ الرَّبَّ إلَهَكَ بِكُلِّ قَلبِكَ، وَبِكُلِّ نَفسِكَ، وَبِكُلِّ قُوَّتِكَ، وَبِكُلِّ عَقلِكَ،› وَمَكتوبٌ أيضاً: ‹تُحِبُّ صاحِبَكَ كَما تُحِبُّ نَفسَكَ.› »

28 A nd He said to him, “You have answered correctly; do this and you will live.”

فَقالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «هَذا صَحِيْحٌ، افعَلْ هَذا وَسَتَحيا.»

29 B ut wishing to justify himself, he said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” The Good Samaritan

لَكِنَّ الرَّجُلَ أرادَ أنْ يُبَرِّرَ سُؤالَهُ، فَقالَ لِيَسُوعَ: «وَمَنْ هُوَ صاحِبي؟»

30 J esus replied and said, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, and they stripped him and beat him, and went away leaving him half dead.

فَأجابَهُ يَسُوعُ: «كانَ رَجُلٌ نازِلاً مِنَ القُدسِ إلَى أرِيحا، فَوَقَعَ فِي أيدِي لُصُوصٍ. فَجَرَّدُوهُ مِنْ مَلابِسِهِ وَضَرَبُوهُ، ثُمَّ مَضُوا وَتَرَكُوهُ بَيْنَ الحَياةِ وَالمَوتِ.

31 A nd by chance a priest was going down on that road, and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

فَمَرَّ بِهِ كاهِنٌ كانَ نازِلاً مِنْ تِلكَ الطَّرِيْقِ. فَلَمّا رَآهُ، ذَهَبَ إلَى الجانِبِ الآخَرِ مِنَ الطَّرِيقِ دُونَ أنْ يَلتَفِتَ إلَيهِ.

32 L ikewise a Levite also, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.

وَكَذَلِكَ مَرَّ لاوِيٌّ مِنْ ذَلِكَ المَكانِ وَرَأى الرَّجُلَ المَضْرُوبَ، فَذَهَبَ إلَى الجانِبِ الآخَرِ أيضاً.

33 B ut a Samaritan, who was on a journey, came upon him; and when he saw him, he felt compassion,

لَكِنَّ سامِرِيّاً مُسافِراً مَرَّ بِهِ أيضاً. وَحِينَ رَآهُ تَحَنَّنَ عَلَيْهِ.

34 a nd came to him and bandaged up his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them; and he put him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn and took care of him.

فَاقتَرَبَ مِنهُ وَضَمَّدَ جِراحَهُ بَعدَ أنْ سَكَبَ عَلَيها زَيتَ زَيتُونٍ وَنَبيذاً. ثُمَّ وَضَعَهُ عَلَى دابَّتِهِ، وَأخَذَهُ إلَى فُندُقٍ وَاعتَنَى بِهِ هُناكَ.

35 O n the next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper and said, ‘Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, when I return I will repay you.’

وَفِي اليَومِ التّالِي أخرَجَ دِينارَيْنِ مِنَ الفِضَّةِ وَأعطاهُما لِصاحِبِ الفَندُقِ، وَقالَ لَهُ: ‹اعتَنِ بِهِ، وَمَهما زادَ ما تَصرُفُهُ فَإنِّي سَأُعَوِّضُكَ حِيْنَ أعُودُ.›

36 W hich of these three do you think proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell into the robbers’ hands ?”

فَمَنْ مِنَ الثَّلاثَةِ تَصَرَّفَ كَصاحِبٍ حَقِيقِيٍّ لِلرَّجُلِ الَّذِي وَقَعَ فِي أيدِي اللُّصُوصِ فِي اعتِقادِكَ؟»

37 A nd he said, “The one who showed mercy toward him.” Then Jesus said to him, “Go and do the same.” Martha and Mary

قالَ الخَبِيْرُ فِي الشَّرِيعَةِ: «الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي أظهَرَ لَهُ رَحمَةً.» فَقالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «فَاذْهَبْ وَافعَلْ كَما فَعَلَ.» مَريَمُ وَمَرثا

38 N ow as they were traveling along, He entered a village; and a woman named Martha welcomed Him into her home.

وَبَينَما كانَ يَسُوعُ وَتَلامِيذُهُ سائِرِينَ، دَخَلُوا بَلدَةً، حَيثُ اسْتَضافَتْ يَسوعَ امْرأةٌ اسْمُها مَرثا في بَيتِها.

39 S he had a sister called Mary, who was seated at the Lord’s feet, listening to His word.

وَكانَتْ لَها أختٌ اسْمُها مَريَمُ. فَجَلَسَتْ مَريَمُ عِندَ قَدَمَي الرَّبِّ تُصغِي إلَى ما يَقُولُهُ.

40 B ut Martha was distracted with all her preparations; and she came up to Him and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to do all the serving alone? Then tell her to help me.”

أمّا مَرْثا فَقَدِ انشَغَلَتِ بِالإعداداتِ الكَثِيْرَةَ. فَجاءَتْ إلَى يَسُوعَ وَقالَتْ: «ألا يَهُمُّكَ أنَّ أُختِي تَرَكَتْنِي لِأقُومَ بِالعَمَلِ كُلِّهِ وَحدِي؟ فَقُلْ لَها أنْ تُساعِدَنِي.»

41 B ut the Lord answered and said to her, “ Martha, Martha, you are worried and bothered about so many things;

فَأجابَها الرَّبُّ: «يا مَرثا، يا مَرثا، أنتِ تَسْمَحينَ لأُمورٍ كَثيرَةٍ بِأنْ تُزْعِجَكِ،

42 b ut only one thing is necessary, for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.”

بَينَما الضَّرُورَةُ هِيَ لأمْرٍ واحِدٍ فَقَطْ. فَها مَريَمُ قَدِ اختارَتْ لِنَفسِها الحِصَّةَ الفُضلَى الَّتِي لَنْ تُؤخَذَ مِنْها.»
