1 “ For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard.

«وَيُشبِهُ مَلَكُوتُ السَّماواتِ رَجُلاً صاحِبَ أرْضٍ، خَرَجَ فِي الصَّباحِ باكِراً لِيَستَأجِرَ عُمّالاً لِكَرْمِهِ.

2 N ow when he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard.

وَاتَّفَقَ مَعَ العُمّالِ أنْ يَدفَعَ لَهُمْ دِيناراً واحِداً عَنْ كُلِّ يَومٍ، ثُمَّ أرسَلَهُمْ لِلعَمَلِ فِي كَرمِهِ.

3 A nd he went out about the third hour and saw others standing idle in the marketplace,

«وَخَرَجَ صاحِبُ الكَرمِ نَحوَ السّاعَةِ التّاسِعَةِ، فَرَأى بَعْضَ الرِّجالِ يَقِفُونَ فِي مِنْطَقَةِ السُّوقِ لا يَعمَلُونَ شَيئاً.

4 a nd said to them, ‘You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.’ So they went.

فَقالَ لَهُمْ: ‹اذهَبُوا أنتُمْ أيضاً لِلعَمَلِ فِي كَرْمِي وَسَأُعطِيكُمُ الأجْرَ الَّذي تَستَحِقونَهُ.›

5 A gain he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did likewise.

فَذَهَبُوا لِلعَمَلِ فِي الكَرْمِ. «وَخَرَجَ ثانِيَةً نَحوَ السّاعَةِ الثّانِيَةَ عَشْرَةَ وَكَذَلِكَ السّاعَةَ الثّالِثَةَ، وَاستَأجَرَ عُمّالاً آخَرِينَ.

6 A nd about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing idle, and said to them, ‘Why have you been standing here idle all day?’

وَنَحوَ السّاعَةِ الخامِسَةِ خَرَجَ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى، وَوَجَدَ آخَرِينَ يَقِفُونَ فِي مِنْطَقَةِ السُّوقِ، فَسَألَهُمْ: ‹لِماذا وَقَفْتُمُ اليَومَ كُلَّهُ مِنْ دُونِ عَمَلٍ؟›

7 T hey said to him, ‘Because no one hired us.’ He said to them, ‘You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right you will receive.’

«فَقالُوا لَهُ: ‹لَمْ يَستاجِرْنا أحَدٌ.› فَقالَ لَهُمْ: ‹اذهَبُوا أنتُمْ أيضاً لِلعَمَلِ فِي كَرْمِي.›

8 “ So when evening had come, the owner of the vineyard said to his steward, ‘Call the laborers and give them their wages, beginning with the last to the first.’

«وَفِي نِهايَةِ اليَومِ، قالَ صاحِبُ الكَرْمِ لِوَكِيلِهِ: ‹ادْعُ العُمّالَ وَادفَعْ لَهُمْ أُجُورَهُمْ، مُبتَدِئاً بِمَنْ جاءَ آخِرَ الكُلِّ، وَمُنتَهِياً بِمَنْ جاءَ فِي البِدايَةِ.›

9 A nd when those came who were hired about the eleventh hour, they each received a denarius.

«فَجاءَ الَّذِينَ استُئْجِرُوا السّاعَةَ الخامِسَةَ، وَأخَذَ كُلُّ واحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ دِيناراً.

10 B ut when the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise received each a denarius.

ثُمَّ جاءَ الَّذِينَ اسْتُئجِرُوا أوَّلاً، فَظَنُّوا أنَّهُمْ سَيَأخُذُونَ أكثَرَ، فَأخَذَ كُلٌّ مِنْهُمْ دِيناراً أيضاً.

11 A nd when they had received it, they complained against the landowner,

فَأخَذُوها، وَابتَدَأُوا يَتَذَمَّرُونَ عَلَى صاحِبِ الكَرْم.

12 s aying, ‘These last men have worked only one hour, and you made them equal to us who have borne the burden and the heat of the day.’

وَيَقولونَ: ‹الَّذِينَ استُئجِرُوا آخِرَ الكُلِّ، عَمِلُوا ساعَةً واحِدَةً فَقَطْ، وَقَدْ دَفَعْتَ لَهُمْ بِقَدْرِ ما دَفَعْتَ لَنا، مَعَ أنَّنا عَمِلْنا كُلَّ النَّهارِ فِي حَرِّ الشَّمْسِ!›

13 B ut he answered one of them and said, ‘Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a denarius?

«فَقالَ صاحِبُ الكَرْمِ لِواحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ: ‹لَمْ أظلِمْكَ ياَ صَديقي! ألَمْ تَتَّفِقْ مَعِي عَلَى العَمَلِ مُقابِلَ دِينارٍ واحِدٍ؟

14 T ake what is yours and go your way. I wish to give to this last man the same as to you.

فَخُذُ أجْرَكَ وَاذْهَبْ. فَأنا أُرِيدُ أنْ أُعطِيَ الَّذِي استَأجَرْتُهُ آخِرَ النَّهارِ، الأجرَ نَفسَهُ الَّذِي أعطَيتُهُ لَكَ.

15 I s it not lawful for me to do what I wish with my own things? Or is your eye evil because I am good?’

ألَيسَ لِيَ الحَقُّ أنْ أفعَلَ ما أُرِيدُ بِما أملِكُ؟ أمْ أنَّكَ غِرْتَ لِأنِّي صالِحٌ مَعَ غَيرِكَ؟›

16 S o the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few chosen.” Jesus a Third Time Predicts His Death and Resurrection

«هَكَذا يَصيرُ أوَّلُ النّاسِ آخِرَ النّاسِ، ويَصيرُ آخِرُ النّاسِ أوَّلَ النّاسِ.» يَسُوعُ يُنبِئُ بِمَوتِهِ وَقِيامَتِه

17 N ow Jesus, going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples aside on the road and said to them,

وَبَينَما كانَ يَسُوعُ فِي طَرِيقِهِ إلَى مَدِينَةِ القُدْسِ، أخَذَ الاثْنَي عَشْرَ عَلَى انفِرادٍ وَقالَ لَهُمْ:

18 “ Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and to the scribes; and they will condemn Him to death,

«ها نَحنُ ذاهِبُونَ إلَى مَدينَةِ القُدْسِ حَيثُ سَيُسَلَّمُ ابْنُ الإنسانِ إلَى كِبارِ الكَهَنَةِ وَمُعَلِّمِي الشَّرِيعَةِ فَيَحكُمُونَ عَلَيهِ بِالمَوْتِ،

19 a nd deliver Him to the Gentiles to mock and to scourge and to crucify. And the third day He will rise again.” Greatness Is Serving

وَيُسَلِّمُونَهُ إلَى غَيرِ المُؤمِنينِ لِيَستَهزِئُوا بِهِ وَيَجلِدُوهُ وَيَصلِبُوهُ. وَلَكِنَّهُ فِي اليَومِ الثّالِثِ سَيَقُومُ مِنَ المَوتِ.» الأعظَمُ هُوَ الَّذي يَخدِم

20 T hen the mother of Zebedee’s sons came to Him with her sons, kneeling down and asking something from Him.

ثُمَّ جاءَتْ إلَيهِ أُمُّ ابْنَيْ زَبَدِي مَعَ ابْنَيها، فَسَجَدَتْ لَهُ لِتَطلُبَ مِنْهُ شَيئاً.

21 A nd He said to her, “What do you wish?” She said to Him, “Grant that these two sons of mine may sit, one on Your right hand and the other on the left, in Your kingdom.”

فَقالَ لَها يَسُوعُ: «ماذا تُرِيدِينَ؟» فَقالَتْ لَهُ: «عِدْنِي أنْ يَجلِسَ ابنايَ هَذانِ فِي مَلَكُوتِكَ، واحِدٌ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ وَالآخَرُ عَنْ يَسارِكَ.»

22 B ut Jesus answered and said, “You do not know what you ask. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?” They said to Him, “We are able.”

فَقالَ يَسُوعُ: «أنتُما لا تَعرِفانِ ما تَطلُبانِ. هَلْ تَستَطِيعانِ أنْ تَشرَبا الكَأسَ الَّتِي سَأشرَبُها؟» فَقالا لَهُ: «نَعَمْ نَستَطِيعُ.»

23 S o He said to them, “You will indeed drink My cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with; but to sit on My right hand and on My left is not Mine to give, but it is for those for whom it is prepared by My Father.”

فَقالَ لَهُما: «أمّا كَأسِي فَسَتَشرَبانِها، أمّا الجُلوسُ عَنْ يَمِينِي وَعَنْ يَسارِي، فَلا أستَطيعُ أنْ أُعطِيَهُ إلّا لِمَنْ أعَدَّهُ الآبُ لَهُمْ.»

24 A nd when the ten heard it, they were greatly displeased with the two brothers.

فَلَمّا سَمِعَ العَشْرَةُ الباقُونَ هَذا الطَّلَبَ، اغْتاظوا جِدّاً مِنَ الأخَوَينِ.

25 B ut Jesus called them to Himself and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those who are great exercise authority over them.

حِينَئِذٍ دَعاهُمْ يَسُوعُ إلَيهِ وَقالَ: «تَعرِفُونَ أنَّ حُكّامَ الأُمَمِ يُمارِسُونَ حُكماً مُطلَقاً عَلَى شُعُوبِهِمْ، وَقادَتُهُمْ يُمارِسُونَ سُلُطاتِهِمْ عَلَيهِمْ.

26 Y et it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant.

لَكِنَّ هَذا لا يَنْبَغِي أنْ يَكُونَ بَينَكُمْ، بَلْ مَنْ أرادَ أنْ يَكُونَ عَظِيماً بَينَكُمْ، فَعَلَيهِ أنْ يَكُونَ خادِمَكُمْ.

27 A nd whoever desires to be first among you, let him be your slave—

وَمَنْ أرادَ أنْ يَكُونَ الأوَّلَ بَينَكُمْ، فَعَلَيهِ أنْ يَكُونَ عَبْداً لَكُمْ.

28 j ust as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.” Two Blind Men Receive Their Sight

كَذَلِكَ ابْنُ الإنسانِ الَّذِي لَمْ يَأتِ لِيُخدَمَ، بَلْ لِيَخدِمَ، وَلِيُقَدِّمَ حَياتَهُ فِديَةٍ لِتَحرِيرِ كَثِيرِينَ.» يَسُوعُ يَشْفِي أعمَيَين

29 N ow as they went out of Jericho, a great multitude followed Him.

وَبَينَما كانُوا يُغادِرُونَ مَدِينَةَ أرِيحا، تَبِعَتْهُ جُمُوعٌ كَثِيرَةٌ مِنَ النّاسِ.

30 A nd behold, two blind men sitting by the road, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, saying, “Have mercy on us, O Lord, Son of David!”

وَكانَ هُناكَ أعمَيانِ جالِسانِ عَلَى جانِبِ الطِّرِيقِ. وَعِندَما سَمِعا أنَّ يَسُوعَ كانَ مارّاً فِي الطَّرِيقِ، صَرَخا: «يا سَيِّدُ، يا ابْنَ داوُدَ، ارحَمْنا.»

31 T hen the multitude warned them that they should be quiet; but they cried out all the more, saying, “Have mercy on us, O Lord, Son of David!”

فَوَبَّخَهُما النّاسُ وَأمَروهُما بِأنْ يَسكُتا، لَكِنَّهُما رَفَعا صَوتَهُما أكثَرَ: «يا سَيِّدُ، يا ابْنَ داوُدَ، ارحَمْنا.»

32 S o Jesus stood still and called them, and said, “What do you want Me to do for you?”

فَتَوَقَّفَ يَسُوعُ وَدَعاهُما وَقالَ: «ماذا تُرِيدانِ أنْ أفعَلَ لَكُما؟»

33 T hey said to Him, “Lord, that our eyes may be opened.”

فَقالا: «يا سَيِّدُ، افتَحْ أعْيُنَنا.»

34 S o Jesus had compassion and touched their eyes. And immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed Him.

فَتَحَنَّنَ يَسُوعُ عَليهِما، وَلَمَسَ أعْيُنَهُما، فَأبصَرا حالاً وَتَبِعاهُ.
