1 A fter this the Lord chose seventy others. He sent them out two together to every city and place where He would be going later.

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

2 J esus said to them, “There is much grain ready to gather. But the workmen are few. Pray then to the Lord Who is the Owner of the grain-fields that He will send workmen to gather His grain.

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

3 G o on your way. Listen! I send you out like lambs among wolves.

«اذهَبُوا! وَتَذَكَّرُوا بِأنِّي أُرسِلُكُمْ كَحِملانٍ بَيْنَ ذِئابٍ.

4 T ake no money. Do not take a bag or shoes. Speak to no one along the way.

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

5 W hen you go into a house, say that you hope peace will come to them.

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

6 I f a man who loves peace lives there, your good wishes will come to him. If your good wishes are not received, they will come back to you.

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

7 S tay in the same house. Eat and drink what they give you. The workman should have his thanks. Do not move 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 “ Whenever a city receives you, eat the things that are put before you there.

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

9 H eal the sick. Say to them, ‘The holy nation of God is near.’

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

10 W hatever city does not receive you, go into its streets and say,

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

11 ‘ Even the dust of your city that is on our feet we are cleaning off against you. But understand this, the holy nation of God has come near you!’

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

12 I tell you, on the day men stand before God, it will be easier for the city of 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 “ It is bad for you, city of Chorazin! It is bad for you, town of Bethsaida! For if the powerful works which were done in you had been done in the cities of Tyre and Sidon they would have turned from their sins long ago. They would have shown their sorrow by putting on clothes made from hair and would have sat in 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 I t will be better for Tyre and Sidon on the day men stand before God and be told they are guilty than for you.

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

15 A nd you, Capernaum, are you to be lifted up into heaven? You will be taken down to hell.

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

16 W hoever listens to you, listens to Me. Whoever has nothing to do with you, has nothing to do with Me. Whoever has nothing to do with Me, has nothing to do with the One Who sent Me.” The Seventy Came Back

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

17 T he seventy came back full of joy. They said, “Lord, even the demons obeyed us when we used Your name.”

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

18 J esus said to them, “I saw Satan fall from heaven like lightning.

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

19 L isten! I have given you power to walk on snakes. I have given you power over small animals with a sting of poison. I have given you power over all the power of the one who works against you. Nothing will hurt you.

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

20 E ven so, you should not be happy because the demons obey you but be happy because your names are written in heaven.” The Joy of the Holy Spirit

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

21 A t this time Jesus was full of the joy of the Holy Spirit. He said, “I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth. You have kept these things hidden from the wise and from those who have much learning. You have shown them to little children. Yes, Father, it was what you wanted done.

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 “ Everything has been given to Me by My Father. No one knows the Son but the Father. No one knows the Father but the Son and the Son makes the Father known to those He chooses.”

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 hen He turned to His followers and said without anyone else hearing, “Happy are those who see what you see!

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

24 I tell you, many early preachers and kings have wanted to see the things you are seeing, but they did not see them. They have wanted to hear the things you are hearing, but they did not hear them.” Jesus Talks to the Man Who Knew the Law

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 man stood up who knew the Law and tried to trap Jesus. He said, “Teacher, what must I do to have life that lasts forever?”

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

26 J esus said to him, “What is written in the Law? What does the Law say?”

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

27 T he man said, “You must love the Lord your God with all your heart. You must love Him with all your soul. You must love Him with all your strength. You must love Him with all your mind. You must love your neighbor as you love yourself.”

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

28 J esus said to him, “You have said the right thing. Do this and you will have life.”

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

29 T he man tried to make himself look good. He asked Jesus, “Who is my neighbor?” The Picture-Story of the Good Samaritan

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

30 J esus said, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to the city of Jericho. Robbers came out after him. They took his clothes off and beat him. Then they went away, leaving him almost 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 religious leader was walking down that road and saw the man. But he went 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 I n the same way, a man from the family group of Levi was walking down that road. When he saw the man who was hurt, he came near to him but kept on going on the other side of the road.

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

33 T hen a man from the country of Samaria came by. He went up to the man. As he saw him, he had loving-pity on him.

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

34 H e got down and put oil and wine on the places where he was hurt and put cloth around them. Then the man from Samaria put this man on his own donkey. He took him to a place where people stay for the night and cared for him.

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

35 T he next day the man from Samaria was ready to leave. He gave the owner of that place two pieces of money to care for him. He said to him, ‘Take care of this man. If you use more than this, I will give it to you when I come again.’

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

36 “ Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who was beaten by the robbers?”

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

37 T he man who knew the Law said, “The one who showed loving-pity on him.” Then Jesus said, “Go and do the same.” Mary and Martha Care for Jesus

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

38 A s they went on their way, they came to a town where a woman named Martha lived. She cared for Jesus in her home.

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

39 M artha had a sister named Mary. Mary sat at the feet of Jesus and listened to all He said.

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

40 M artha was working hard getting the supper ready. She came to Jesus and said, “Do You see that my sister is not helping me? 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 J esus said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things.

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

42 O nly a few things are important, even just one. Mary has chosen the good thing. It will not be taken away from her.”

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