1 T hen Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.

وَدَخَلَ يَسُوعُ أرِيحا وَراحَ يَمشِي فِيها.

2 N ow behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus who was a chief tax collector, and he was rich.

فَجاءَ رَجُلٌ اسْمُهُ زَكّا، وهُوَ رَجُلٌ غَنيٌ مِنْ كِبارِ جامِعِي الضَّرائِبِ،

3 A nd he sought to see who Jesus was, but could not because of the crowd, for he was of short stature.

وَأرادَ أنْ يَرَى مَنْ يَكُونُ يَسُوعُ. لَكِنَّهُ عَجِزَ عَنْ رُؤيَتِهِ بِسَبَبِ الحَشدِ، لأنَّهُ قَصِيْرَ القامَةِ.

4 S o he ran ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see Him, for He was going to pass that way.

فَرَكَضَ وَسَبَقَ الجَمِيعَ، وَتَسَلَّقَ شَجَرَةَ جُمِّيْزٍ راجِياً أنْ يَرَى يَسُوعَ الَّذِي كانَ سَيَمُرُّ مِنْ ذَلِكَ المَكانِ.

5 A nd when Jesus came to the place, He looked up and saw him, and said to him, “Zacchaeus, make haste and come down, for today I must stay at your house.”

وَعِندَما وَصَلَ يَسُوعُ إلَى المَكانِ، رَفَعَ بَصَرَهُ وَقالَ لَهُ: «يا زَكّا، عَجِّلْ بِالنُّزُولِ، لِأنَّهُ لا بُدَّ أنْ أمْكُثَ اليَومَ فِي بَيتِكَ.»

6 S o he made haste and came down, and received Him joyfully.

فَنَزَلَ بِسُرعَةٍ وَاستَضافَهُ فِي بَيتِهِ فَرِحاً.

7 B ut when they saw it, they all complained, saying, “He has gone to be a guest with a man who is a sinner.”

فَلَمّا رَأى النّاسُ ذَلِكَ، بَدَأُوا يَتَذَمَّرُونَ وَيَقولونَ: «لَقَدْ ذَهَبَ لِيَحِلَّ ضَيفاً عَلَى إنسانٍ خاطِئٍ.»

8 T hen Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord, I give half of my goods to the poor; and if I have taken anything from anyone by false accusation, I restore fourfold.”

أمّا زَكّا فَقَدْ وَقَفَ وَقالَ لِلرَّبِّ: «يا رَبُّ! ها أنا سَأُعطِي نِصفَ ما أملكُهُ لِلفُقَراء. وَإنْ كُنْتُ قَدِ ظَلَمْتُ أحَداً، فَإنِّي سَأُعَوِّضُهُ بِأربَعَةِ أضعافٍ.»

9 A nd Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham;

فَقالَ يَسُوعُ: «اليَومَ جاءَ الخَلاصُ إلَى هَذا البَيتِ. فَهَذا الرَّجُلُ هُوَ أيضاً ابنٌ لإبراهِيمَ.

10 f or the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.” The Parable of the Minas

لِأنَّ ابنَ الإنسانَ جاءَ لِكَي يَجِدَ الضّائِعِيْنَ فَيُخَلِّصَهُمْ.» استَخدِمْ ما يُعطِيكَ الله

11 N ow as they heard these things, He spoke another parable, because He was near Jerusalem and because they thought the kingdom of God would appear immediately.

وَبَينَما كانَ النّاسُ يَستَمِعُونَ إلَى هَذِهِ الأُمُورِ، رَوَى لَهُمْ يَسوعُ مَثَلاً لِأنَّهُ كانَ قَرِيباً مِنَ مَدينَةِ القُدْسِ، وَظَنَّ النّاسُ أنَّهُ سَيُعلِنُ قِيامَ مَلَكوتَ اللهِ عَلَى الفورِ!

12 T herefore He said: “A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and to return.

فَقالَ لَهُمْ: «ذَهَبَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أصلٍ كَرِيمٍ إلَى بَلَدٍ بَعِيدٍ لِكَي يُتَوَّجَ مَلِكاً ثُمَّ يَعُودُ.

13 S o he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, ‘Do business till I come.’

فَدَعا خُدّامَهُ العَشْرَةَ وَأعطَى كُلَّ واحِدٍ مِنهُمْ قِطعَةً ذَهَبِيَّةً وَقالَ لَهُمْ: ‹تاجِرُوا بِها إلَى أنْ أعُودَ.›

14 B ut his citizens hated him, and sent a delegation after him, saying, ‘We will not have this man to reign over us.’

لَكِنَّ أهلَ بِلادِهِ كانُوا يُبغِضُونَهُ، فَأرسَلُوا وَفداً بَعدَهُ لِيَقُولَ: ‹لا نُرِيدُ أنْ يَكُونَ هَذا الرَّجُلُ مَلِكاً عَلَينا!›

15 “ And so it was that when he returned, having received the kingdom, he then commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.

«إلّا أنَّهُ تُوِّجَ مَلِكاً وَعادَ إلَى وَطَنِهِ. ثُمَّ استَدعَى خُدّامَهُ الَّذِينَ أعطاهُمُ المالَ لِيَعرِفَ مِقدارَ الرِّبحِ الَّذِي حَقَّقُوهُ.

16 T hen came the first, saying, ‘Master, your mina has earned ten minas.’

فَجاءَ الأوَّلُ وَقالَ: ‹يا سَيِّدُ، لَقَدْ رَبِحَتْ قِطعَتُكَ الذَّهَبِيَّةُ عَشْرَ قِطَعٍ أُخْرَى.›

17 A nd he said to him, ‘Well done, good servant; because you were faithful in a very little, have authority over ten cities.’

فَقالَ لَهُ سَيِّدُهُ: ‹أحسَنتَ أيُّها العَبدُ الصّالِحُ. كُنتَ أمِيناً فِي أمرٍ صَغِيرٍ، لِهَذا سَأُعَيِّنُكَ والِياً عَلَى عَشْرِ مُدُنٍ.›

18 A nd the second came, saying, ‘Master, your mina has earned five minas.’

«ثُمَّ جاءَ الخادِمُ الثّانِي وَقالَ: ‹يا سَيِّدُ، لَقَدْ رَبِحَتْ قِطعَتُكَ الذَّهَبِيَّةُ خَمسَ قِطَعٍ أُخْرَى.›

19 L ikewise he said to him, ‘You also be over five cities.’

فَقالَ لِهَذا الخادِمِ: ‹سَأُعَيِّنُكَ والِياً عَلَى خَمسِ مُدُنٍ.›

20 “ Then another came, saying, ‘Master, here is your mina, which I have kept put away in a handkerchief.

«ثُمَّ جاءَ خادِمٌ آخَرُ وَقالَ: ‹يا سَيِّدُ، خُذْ قِطعَتُكَ الذَّهَبِيَّةُ. لَقَدْ حَفِظتُها فِي مِندِيلٍ.

21 F or I feared you, because you are an austere man. You collect what you did not deposit, and reap what you did not sow.’

فَأنا كُنتُ أخشاكَ، لِأنَّكَ إنسانٌ قاسٍ، تَأخُذُ ما لَيسَ لَكَ، وَتَحصُدُ ما لَمْ تَبذُرْ.›

22 A nd he said to him, ‘Out of your own mouth I will judge you, you wicked servant. You knew that I was an austere man, collecting what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow.

«فَقالَ السَّيِّدُ لَهُ: ‹بِكَلامِكَ سَأحكُمُ عَلَيكَ أيُّها الخادِمُ الشِّرِّيرُ. أنتَ تَقُولُ إنَّكَ عَرَفْتَ أنِّي إنسانٌ قاسٍ، آخُذُ ما لَيسَ لِي، وَأحصُدُ ما لَمْ أبذُرْ.

23 W hy then did you not put my money in the bank, that at my coming I might have collected it with interest?’

فَلِماذا لَمْ تَضَعْ مالِي فِي المَصرِفِ، فَاسْتَرِدَّهُ مَعَ الفائِدَةِ مَتَى عُدْتُ؟›

24 “ And he said to those who stood by, ‘Take the mina from him, and give it to him who has ten minas.’

وَقالَ لِلواقِفِينَ عَلَى مَقرُبَةٍ مِنهُ: ‹خُذُوا قِطعَتَهُ الذَّهَبِيَّةَ مِنهُ، وَأعطُوها لِصاحِبِ القِطَعِ الذَّهَبِيَّةِ العَشرَةِ.›

25 ( But they said to him, ‘Master, he has ten minas.’)

«فَقالُوا لَهُ: ‹يا سَيِّدُ، لَدَيهِ عَشرُ قِطَعٍ ذَهَبِيَّةٍ.›

26 ‘ For I say to you, that to everyone who has will be given; and from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.

«فَأجابَ السَّيِّدُ: ‹أقُولُ لَكُمْ، سَيُعطَى المَزِيدُ لِمَنْ يَملِكُ، أمّا الَّذِي لا يَملِكُ شَيئاً، فَسَيُنتَزَعُ مِنهُ حَتَّى ما يَملِكُهُ.

27 B ut bring here those enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, and slay them before me.’” The Triumphal Entry

أمّا أعدائِي الَّذِينَ لَمْ يَرضُوا بِأنْ أكُونَ مَلِكاً عَلَيهِمْ، فَأحضِرُوهُمْ إلَى هُنا، وَاذبَحُوهُمْ أمامي.›» يَسُوعُ يَدخُلُ مَدينَةَ القُدس

28 W hen He had said this, He went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.

وَبَعدَ أنْ قالَ يَسُوعُ هَذا الكَلامَ تابَعَ طَرِيقَهُ مُتَوَجِّهاً إلَى مَدينَةِ القُدْسِ.

29 A nd it came to pass, when He drew near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mountain called Olivet, that He sent two of His disciples,

وَاقتَرَبَ مِنْ بَيتِ فاجِي وَبَيتِ عَنيا عِندَ التَّلَّةِ الَّتِي تُدعَى جَبَلَ الزَّيتُونِ. فَأرسَلَ اثْنَينِ مِنْ تَلامِيذِهِ

30 s aying, “Go into the village opposite you, where as you enter you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever sat. Loose it and bring it here.

وَقالَ لَهُما: «اذهَبا إلَى القَريَةِ الَّتِي أمامَكُما. وَعِندَما تَدخُلانِها، سَتَجِدانِ حِماراً صَغِيراً مَربُوطاً لَمْ يَركَبْهُ أحَدٌ مِنْ قَبلُ، فَحُلّاهُ وَأحضِراهُ إلَى هُنا.

31 A nd if anyone asks you, ‘Why are you loosing it? ’ thus you shall say to him, ‘Because the Lord has need of it.’”

وَإذا سَألَكُمْ أحَدٌ: ‹لِماذا تَحُلّانِهِ؟› قُولا: ‹الرَّبُّ يَحتاجُ إلَيهِ.›

32 S o those who were sent went their way and found it just as He had said to them.

فَذَهَبَ التِّلمِيذانِ وَوَجَدا كُلَّ شَيءٍ كَما قالَ لَهُما يَسُوعُ.

33 B ut as they were loosing the colt, the owners of it said to them, “Why are you loosing the colt?”

وَفيما هُما يَحُلّانِ الحِمارَ، سَألَهُما أصحابُهُ: «لِماذا تَحُلّانِهِ؟»

34 A nd they said, “The Lord has need of him.”

فَقالا: «الرَّبُّ يَحتاجُ إلَيهِ.»

35 T hen they brought him to Jesus. And they threw their own clothes on the colt, and they set Jesus on him.

فَجاءا بِهِ إلَى يَسُوعَ، وَوَضَعا رِداءَيْهِما عَلَيْهِ، وَأركَبا يَسُوعَ.

36 A nd as He went, many spread their clothes on the road.

وَبَينَما كانَ يَسُوعُ مُجتازاً، أخَذَ النّاسُ يَفرِشُونَ أردِيَتَهُمْ عَلَى الطَّرِيقِ.

37 T hen, as He was now drawing near the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works they had seen,

وَاقتَرَبَ مِنْ مُنحَدَرِ جَبَلِ الزَّيتُونِ. حينَئِذٍ ابْتَدَأتْ حُشُودُ أتباعِهِ كُلُّهِمْ يُسَبِّحُونَ اللهَ بِفَرَحٍ بِأصواتٍ عالِيَةٍ مِنْ أجلِ كُلِّ المُعجِزاتِ الَّتِي رَأوها.

38 s aying: “ ‘Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the L ord!’ Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”

فَسَبَّحُوا وَقالوا: ‹مُبارَكٌ المَلِكُ الَّذِي يَأْتِي بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ! فِي السَّماءِ سَلامٌ، وَالمَجدُ للهِ فِي الأعالِي!›

39 A nd some of the Pharisees called to Him from the crowd, “Teacher, rebuke Your disciples.”

فَقالَ بَعضُ الفِرِّيسِيِّينَ الَّذِينَ فِي جُمُوعِ النّاسِ لِيَسُوعَ: «يا مُعَلِّمُ، وَبِّخْ تَلامِيذَكَ!»

40 B ut He answered and said to them, “I tell you that if these should keep silent, the stones would immediately cry out.” Jesus Weeps over Jerusalem

فَأجابَ: «أقُولُ لَكُمُ الحَقَّ، إنْ سَكَتُوا هُمْ، فَسَتَصرُخُ الحِجارَةُ!» يَسُوعُ يَبكِي عَلَى مَدينَةِ القُدْس

41 N ow as He drew near, He saw the city and wept over it,

وَعِندَما اقتَرَبَ يَسُوعُ، رَأى المَدِينَةَ فَبَكَى عَلَيها.

42 s aying, “If you had known, even you, especially in this your day, the things that make for your peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes.

وَقالَ: «لَيتَكِ اليَومَ تَعرِفِينَ مَصدَرَ سَلامِكِ، لَكِنَّ ذَلِكَ مَخفِيٌّ عَنْ عَينَيكِ الآنَ.

43 F or days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment around you, surround you and close you in on every side,

سَتَأْتِي عَلَيكِ أيّامٌ، يَبنِي فِيها أعداؤُكِ الحَواجِزَ حَولَكِ. سَيُحاصِرُونَكِ وَيَضغَطُونَ عَلَيكِ مِنْ كُلِّ الجِهاتِ.

44 a nd level you, and your children within you, to the ground; and they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not know the time of your visitation.” Jesus Cleanses the Temple

سَيُدَمِّرُونَكِ أنتِ وَأهلَكِ، وَلَنْ يَترُكُوا حَجَراً عَلَى حَجَرٍ داخِلَ أسوارِكِ، لِأنَّكِ لَمْ تُدرِكِي وَقتَ مَجِيءِ اللهِ إلَيكِ لِكَي يُخَلِّصَكِ.›» يَسُوعُ يَطرُدُ التُّجّارَ مِنْ ساحَةِ الهَيكَل

45 T hen He went into the temple and began to drive out those who bought and sold in it,

وَدَخَلَ يَسُوعُ ساحَةَ الهَيكَلِ، وَبَدَأ يَطرُدُ الَّذِينَ كانُوا يَبِيعُونَ هُناكَ.

46 s aying to them, “It is written, ‘My house is a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a ‘den of thieves.’”

وَقالَ: «مَكتُوبٌ: ‹بَيتِي بَيتُ صَلاةٍ،› لَكِنَّكُمْ حَوَّلتُمُوهُ إلَى ‹وَكْرِ لُصُوصِ!›»

47 A nd He was teaching daily in the temple. But the chief priests, the scribes, and the leaders of the people sought to destroy Him,

وَكانَ يَسُوعُ يُعَلِّمُ كُلَّ يَومٍ فِي ساحَةِ الهَيكَلِ، فيما كانَ كِبارُ الكَهَنَةِ وَمُعَلِّمُو الشَّرِيعَةِ وَقادَةُ الشَّعبِ يَبحَثُونَ عَنْ طَرِيقَةٍ يَقتُلُونَهُ بِها.

48 a nd were unable to do anything; for all the people were very attentive to hear Him.

غَيْرَ أنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَجِدُوا إلَى ذَلِكَ سَبِيلاً، فَقَدْ كانَ كُلُّ النّاسِ مُتَعَلِّقِينَ بِكَلامِهِ.
