1 N ow it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these sayings, that He departed from Galilee and came to the region of Judea beyond the Jordan.

وَبَعْدَ أنْ أنهَى يَسُوعُ حَدِيثَهُ حَولَ هَذِهِ الأُمُورِ، تَرَكَ إقليمَ الجَلِيلَ وَذَهَبَ إلَى إقليمِ اليَهُودِيَّةِ وَراءَ نَهْرِ الأُردُنِّ.

2 A nd great multitudes followed Him, and He healed them there.

وَتَبِعَتْهُ جُمُوعٌ كَبِيرَةٌ مِنَ النّاسِ فَشَفاهُمْ هُناكَ.

3 T he Pharisees also came to Him, testing Him, and saying to Him, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for just any reason?”

وَجاءَ بَعْضُ الفِرِّيسِيِّينَ إلَى يَسُوعَ يُحاوِلُونَ امتِحانَهُ، فَقالُوا: «هَلْ يَجُوزُ لِلرَّجُلِ أنْ يُطَلِّقَ زَوجَتَهُ لِأيِّ سَبَبٍ؟»

4 A nd He answered and said to them, “Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning ‘made them male and female,’

فَأجابَ يَسُوعُ: «ألَمْ تَقرَأُوا فِي الكِتابِ أنَّ اللهَ مُنذُ البِدايَةِ ‹خَلَقَ النّاسَ ذَكَراً وَأُنثَى؟›

5 a nd said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’?

ثُمَّ قالَ: ‹لِهَذا يَترُكُ الرَّجُلُ أباهُ وَأُمَّهُ، وَيَتَّحِدُّ بِزَوجَتِهِ، فَيَصِيرَ الاثنانِ جَسَداً واحِداً.›

6 S o then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.”

وَبِهَذا لا يَكُونانِ فِيما بَعْدُ اثْنَينِ، بَلْ واحِداً. فَلا يَنبَغِي أنْ يَفصِلَ أحَدٌ بَينَ مَنْ جَمَعَهُما اللهُ.»

7 T hey said to Him, “Why then did Moses command to give a certificate of divorce, and to put her away?”

فَقالُوا لَهُ: «لِماذا إذاً أمَرَ مُوسَى بِأنْ تُعطَىْ الزَوجَةُ وَثِيقَةَ طَلاقٍ، فَتُطَلَّقَ؟»

8 H e said to them, “Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, permitted you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so.

فَأجابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «سَمَحَ مُوسَى بِذَلِكَ بِسَبَبِ قُلُوبِكُمُ القاسِيَةِ، إلّا أنَّ الأمْرَ لَمْ يَكُنْ كَذَلِكَ فِي البِدايَةِ.

9 A nd I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery.”

لِذَلِكَ أقُولُ لَكُمْ إنَّهُ كُلُّ مَنْ يُطَلِّقُ زَوجَتَهُ، إلّا إذا زَنَتْ، وَيَتَزَوَّجُ بِأُخرَى يَرتَكِبُ الزِّنَى.»

10 H is disciples said to Him, “If such is the case of the man with his wife, it is better not to marry.” Jesus Teaches on Celibacy

فَقالَ لَهُ تَلامِيذُهُ: «إنْ كانَ هَذا هُوَ الحالُ بَينَ الزَّوجِ وَزَوجَتِهِ، فَإنَّهُ مِنَ الأفضَلِ عَدَمُ الزَّواجِ!»

11 B ut He said to them, “All cannot accept this saying, but only those to whom it has been given:

فَقالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «لا يَستَطِيعُ الجَمِيعُ قَبُولَ هَذا التَّعلِيمِ إلّا الَّذِينَ يُعطِيهِمُ اللهُ القُدرَةَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ.

12 F or there are eunuchs who were born thus from their mother’s womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven’s sake. He who is able to accept it, let him accept it.” Jesus Blesses Little Children

هُناكَ رِجالٌ لا يَستَطِيعُونَ الزَّواجَ لِأنَّهُمْ وُلِدُوا بِلا قُدرَةٍ عَلَى الزَّواجِ. وَهُناكَ رِجالٌ لا يَستَطِيعُونَ الزَّواجَ لِأنَّ النّاسَ أفقَدَوهُمُ القُدرَةَ عَلَى الزَّواجِ. وَهُناكَ رِجالٌ اختارُوا أنْ لا يَتَزَوَّجُوا مِنْ أجلِ مَلَكُوتِ السَّماواتِ. مَنْ يَستَطِيعُ قُبُولَ هَذا التَّعلِيمِ فَلْيَقْبَلْهُ.» يَسُوعُ يُرَحِّبُ بِالأطفال

13 T hen little children were brought to Him that He might put His hands on them and pray, but the disciples rebuked them.

حِينَئِذٍ أحضَرُوا إلَيهِ أطفالاً لِكَي يَضَعَ يَدَيهِ عَلَيهِمْ وَيُصَلِّي، وَلَكِنَّ تَلامِيذَهُ وَبَّخُوهُمْ.

14 B ut Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.”

حِينَئِذٍ قالَ يَسُوعُ: «دَعُوا الأطفالَ يَأتُونَ إلَيَّ، وَلا تَمنَعُوهُمْ عَنِّي، لِأنَّ لِمِثلِ هَؤُلاءِ مَلَكُوتَ السَّماواتِ.»

15 A nd He laid His hands on them and departed from there. Jesus Counsels the Rich Young Ruler

ثُمَّ وَضَعَ يَسُوعُ يَدَيهِ عَلَيهِمْ، وَتَرَكَ ذَلِكَ المَكانَ. عائِقُ الغِنَى

16 N ow behold, one came and said to Him, “Good Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life?”

وَجاءَ رَجُلٌ إلَى يَسُوعَ وَسَألَهُ: «يا مُعَلِّمُ، ما هُوَ العَمَلُ الصّالِحُ الَّذِي يَنبَغِي أنْ أعمَلَه حَتَّى أنالَ الحَياةَ الأبَدِيَّةَ؟»

17 S o He said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.”

فَأجابَهُ يَسُوعُ: «لِماذا تَسألُنِي عَمّا هُوَ صالِحٌ؟ أتَعرِفُ أنَّهُ لا صالِحَ إلّا اللهُ؟ وَلَكِنْ إنْ أرَدْتَ الحَياةَ الأبَدِيَّةَ، فَعَلَيكَ العَمَلُ بِالوَصايا.»

18 H e said to Him, “Which ones?” Jesus said, “‘You shall not murder,’ ‘You shall not commit adultery,’ ‘You shall not steal,’ ‘You shall not bear false witness,’

فَقالَ الرَّجُلُ: «أيَّةُ وَصايا؟» فَقالَ يَسُوعُ: «‹لا تَقتُلْ، لا تَزْنِ، لا تَسرِقْ.

19 ‘ Honor your father and your mother,’ and, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ ”

لا تَشْهَدْ زُوراً، أكْرِمْ أباكَ وَأُمَّكَ.› وَ‹تُحِبُّ صاحِبَكَ كَما تُحِبُّ نَفسَكَ.› »

20 T he young man said to Him, “All these things I have kept from my youth. What do I still lack?”

فَقالَ لَهُ الشّابُّ: «أنا أُطِيعُ كُلَّ هَذِهِ الوَصايا، فَماذا يَنقُصُنِي بَعْدُ؟»

21 J esus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.”

فَقالَ يَسُوعُ لَهُ: «إنْ كُنْتَ تَرِيدُ أنْ تَكُونَ كامِلاً، اذْهَبْ وَبِعْ كُلِّ ما تَملِكُ وَأعطِ الفُقَراءَ. بِهَذا تَملِكُ كَنزاً فِي السَّماءِ. ثُمَّ تَعالَ وَاتبَعْنِي.»

22 B ut when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions. With God All Things Are Possible

فَلَّما سَمِعَ الشّابُّ ذَلِكَ، ذَهَبَ حَزِيناً لِأنَّهُ كانَ غَنِيّاً جِدّاً.

23 T hen Jesus said to His disciples, “Assuredly, I say to you that it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.

حِينَئِذٍ قالَ يَسُوعُ لِتَلامِيذِهِ: «أقولُ الحَقَّ لَكُمْ، مِنَ الصَّعْبِ عَلَى الغَنِيِّ دُخُولُ مَلَكُوتِ السَّماواتِ.

24 A nd again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”

أقُولُ لَكُمْ ثانِيَةً أنَّ مُرُورَ جَمَلٍ مِنْ ثُقبِ إبرَةٍ، أيسَرُ مِنْ أنْ يَدخُلَ غَنِيٌّ مَلَكُوتَ اللهِ.»

25 W hen His disciples heard it, they were greatly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved?”

فَلَّما سَمِعَ تَلامِيذُهُ هَذا، دُهِشوا وَقالُوا: «فَمَنْ يُمكِنُ أنْ يَخلُصَ إذاً؟»

26 B ut Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

فَنَظَرَ يَسُوعُ إلَيْهِمْ وَقالَ لَهُمْ: «هَذا مُستَحِيلٌ عِنْدَ النّاسِ، أمّا عِنْدَ اللهِ فَكُلُّ الأشياءِ مُمكِنَةٌ.»

27 T hen Peter answered and said to Him, “See, we have left all and followed You. Therefore what shall we have?”

حَينَئِذٍ قالَ لَهُ بُطرُسُ: «ها نَحنُ قَدْ تَرَكنا كُلَّ شَيءٍ لِكَيْ نَتبَعَكَ! فَماذا سَيَكُونُ لَنا؟»

28 S o Jesus said to them, “Assuredly I say to you, that in the regeneration, when the Son of Man sits on the throne of His glory, you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

فَقالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «أقولُ الحَقَّ لَكُمْ، عِندَما يَجلِسُ ابْنُ الإنسانِ عَلَى عَرشِهِ المَجِيدِ فِي العَصْرِ الجَدِيدِ، سَتَجلِسُونَ أنتُمُ الَّذِينَ تَبِعْتُمُونِي عَلَى اثْنَي عَشَرَ عَرْشاً، لِتَحكُمُوا عَلَى قَبائِلِ بَنيْ إسرائِيلَ الاثنَتَي عَشْرَةَ.

29 A nd everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life.

وَكُلُّ مَنْ تَرَكَ بُيُوتاً أوْ إخْوَةً أوْ أخَواتٍ أوْ أباً أوْ أُمّاً أوْ أبناءاً أوْ حُقُولاً مِنء أجلِي، فَإنَّهُ سَيَنالُ مِئَةَ ضِعْفٍ، وَسَيَرَثُ الحَياةَ الآتِيَةَ مَعَ اللهِ إلَى الأبَدِ.»

30 B ut many who are first will be last, and the last first.

فكَثيرونَ هُمْ أوَّلُ النّاسِ الَّذينَ سَيَصيرونَ آخِرَ النّاسِ، وَكَثيرونَ هُمْ آخِرُ النّاسِ الَّذينَ سَيَصيرونَ أوَّلَ النّاسِ.
