1 A t this time some people came to Jesus. They told Him that Pilate had killed some people from the country of Galilee. It was while they were giving gifts of animals on the altar in worship to God.

فِي ذَلِكَ الوَقتِ، أخبَرَهُ أشخاصٌ حاضِرُونَ عَنِ الجَلِيلِيِّينَ الَّذِينَ قَتَلَهُمْ بِيلاطُسُ حَتَّىْ إنَّ دِمائَهُمُ اخْتَلَطَتْ بِدَمِ ذَبائِحَهُمْ!

2 P ilate put their blood together with the blood of the animals. Jesus said to them, “What about these people from Galilee? Were they worse sinners than all the other people from Galilee because they suffered these things?

فَأجابَهُمْ: «أتَظُنُّونَ أنَّ هَؤُلاءِ الجَلِيلِيِّينَ كانُوا أكثَرَ شَرّاً مِنْ بَقيَّةِ أهلِ الجَلِيلِ، لأنَّ هَذا حَصَلَ لَهُمْ؟

3 N o, I tell you. But unless you are sorry for your sins and turn from them, you too will all die.

أقُولُ لَكُمْ إنَّ هَذا غَيرُ صَحِيحٍ، بَلْ إن لَمْ تَتُوبُوا، فَسَتَمُوتُونَ جَمِيعاً كَما ماتُوا.

4 W hat about those eighteen men who were killed when the high building in Siloam fell on them? Do you think they were the worst sinners living in Jerusalem?

أوْ ماذا تَقُولُونَ فِي الثَّمانِيَةَ عَشَرَ شَخصاً الَّذِينَ سَقَطَ عَلَيهِمُ البُرجُ فِي سِلوامَ فَقَتَلَهُمْ؟ أتَظُنُّونَ أنَّهُمْ كانُوا أكثَرَ شَرّاً مِنْ بَقيَّةِ أهلِ القُدسِ؟

5 N o, I tell you. But unless you are sorry for your sins and turn from them, you too will all die.” The Picture-Story of the Fig Tree Which Had No Fruit

أقُولُ لَكُمْ إنَّ هَذا غَيرُ صَحِيحٍ، بَلْ إنْ لَمْ تَتُوبُوا، فَسَتَمُوتُونَ جَمِيعاً كَما ماتُوا.» شَجَرَةٌ بِلا فائِدَة

6 T hen He told them this picture-story: “A man had a fig tree in his grape-field. He looked for fruit on it but found none.

ثُمَّ رَوَى لَهُمْ هَذا المَثَلَ: «كانَ لِرَجُلٍ شَجَرَةُ تِينٍ مَزرُوعَةً فِي بُستانِهِ. فَجاءَ مُتَوَقِّعاً أنْ يَرَى ثِماراً عَلَيها،

7 H e said to his servant, ‘See! For three years I have been coming here looking for fruit on this fig tree. I never find any. Cut it down. Why does it even waste the ground?’

لَكِنَّهُ لَمْ يَجِدْ شَيئاً. فَقالَ لِلبُستانِيِّ: ‹ها قَدْ مَضَتْ ثَلاثُ سَنَواتٍ وَأنا آتِي مُتَوَقِّعاً ثَمَراً مِنْ شَجَرَةِ التِّينِ هَذِهِ، لَكِنِّي لا أجِدُ شَيئاً. اقطَعْها، فَلِماذا أترُكُها تُضَيِّعُ مَساحَةً مِنَ الأرْضِ؟›

8 T he servant said, ‘Sir! Leave it here one more year. I will dig around it and put plant food on it.

فَأجابَهُ البُستانِيُّ: ‹يا سَيِّدُ، اترُكْها هَذِهِ السَّنَةَ فَقَطْ. فَسَأحفِرُ حَولَها وَأُسَمِّدُها،

9 I t may be that it will give fruit next year. If it does not, then cut it down.’” Jesus Heals on the Day of Rest

لَعَلَّها تُثمِرُ. فإنْ لَمْ تُثمِرِ اقْطَعْها.›» يَسُوعُ يَشفِي امْرأةً يَومَ السَّبت

10 J esus was teaching in one of the Jewish places of worship on the Day of Rest.

وَكانَ يَسُوعُ يُعَلِّمُ فِي مَجمَعٍ يَومَ سَبتٍ.

11 A woman was there who had suffered for eighteen years because of a demon. She was not able to stand up straight.

وَكانَتْ هُناكَ امْرأةٌ فِيها رُوحُ ضَعفٍ مُنذُ ثَمانِيَ عَشرَةَ سَنَةً، حَتَّى إنَّ ظَهرَها كانَ مَحنِيّاً فَلا تَقدِرُ أنْ تَستَقِيمَ.

12 J esus saw her and said, “Woman, you are now free from your trouble!”

وَحِينَ رَآها يَسُوعُ، ناداها وَقالَ لَها: «أيَّتُها المَرأةُ، أنتِ حُرَّةٌ مِنْ مَرَضِكِ!»

13 T hen He put His hand on her. At once she stood up straight and gave thanks to God.

ثُمَّ وَضَعَ يَدَيهِ عَلَيها، فَاسْتَقامَ ظَهرُها فَوراً، وَشَكَرَتِ اللهَ.

14 T he leader of the Jewish place of worship was angry because Jesus healed on the Day of Rest. The leader said to the people, “There are six days in which work should be done. Come on those days and get healed. Do not come to be healed on the Day of Rest.”

فَغَضِبَ رَئِيسُ المَجمَعِ كَثِيراً لِأنَّ يَسُوعَ شَفَى يَومَ السَّبتِ. فَقالَ لِلنّاسِ: «فِي الأُسبُوعِ سِتَّةُ أيّامٍ يُمكِنُ لِلنّاسِ أنْ يَعمَلُوا فِيها، فَتَعالُوا فِي تِلكَ الأيّامِ وَاستَشْفُوا، لَكِنْ لا تَأْتُوا لِتَستَشْفُوا فِي يَومِ السَّبتِ.»

15 T he Lord said to him, “You pretend to be someone you are not! Do not each of you let his cow or his donkey out and lead them to water on the Day of Rest?

فَأجابَهُ الرَّبُّ وَقالَ: «أيُّها المُنافِقُونَ، ألا يُخرِجُ كُلُّ واحِدٍ مِنكُمْ ثَورَهُ أوْ حِمارَهُ مِنَ الحَظِيرَةِ فِي السَّبتِ وَيَقُودُهُ لِيَسقِيهِ؟

16 S hould not this Jewish woman be made free from this trouble on the Day of Rest? She has been chained by Satan for eighteen years.”

وَالآنَ هَذِهِ المَرأةُ هِيَ مِنْ نَسلِ إبراهِيْمَ، وَقَدْ رَبَطَها الشَّيطانُ ثَمانِيَ عَشرَةَ سَنَةً. أفَلا يَجوزُ أنْ تَتَحَرَّرَ فِي السَّبتِ مِمّا رَبَطَها؟»

17 W hen He said this, all those who were against Him were ashamed. All the many people were glad for the great things being done by Him. The Picture-Stories of the Mustard Seed and the Yeast

فَلَمّا قالَ هَذا، أخزَى الَّذِينَ كانُوا يُعارِضُونَهُ. وَكانَ النّاسُ مُبتَهِجِينَ بِسَبَبِ كُلِّ الأعمالِ العَجِيبَةِ الَّتِي صَنَعَها يَسُوعُ. مَثَلا بِذرةُ الخَردَلِ وَالخَميرَة

18 T hen Jesus asked, “What is the holy nation of God like? What can I use to show you?

وَقالَ أيضاً: «كَيفَ أصِفُ لَكُمْ مَلَكُوتَ اللهِ؟ وَبِماذا أُشَبِّهُهُ؟

19 I t is like a mustard seed which a man took and planted in his field. It grew and became a tree. The birds of the sky stayed in its branches.”

إنَّهُ يُشبِهُ بِذرَةَ خَردَلٍ أخَذَها إنسانٌ وَزَرَعَها فِي بُستانِهِ، فَنَمَتْ وَصارَتْ شَجَرَةً. وَصَنَعَتْ طُيُورُ السَّماءِ أعشاشَها فِي أغصانِها.»

20 A gain Jesus said, “What can I use to show you what the holy nation of God is like?

ثُمَّ قالَ: «أوْ بِماذا أُشَبِّهُ مَلَكُوتَ اللهِ؟

21 I t is like yeast that a woman put into three pails of flour until it was all full of yeast.” Jesus Teaches on the Way to Jerusalem

إنَّهُ يُشبِهُ خَمِيرَةً أخَذَتْها امْرأةٌ وَخَلَطَتْها فِي ثَلاثَةِ مَقادِيْرَ مِنَ الطَّحِينِ حَتَّى اختَمَرَ العَجينُ كُلُّهُ.» البابُ الضَّيِّق

22 J esus taught the people as He went through the cities and towns on His way to Jerusalem.

وَكانَ يَسُوعُ يَمُرُّ عَبرَ المُدُنِ وَالقُرَى، يُعَلِّمُ النّاسَ فِي طَرِيقِهِ إلَى مَدينَةِ القُدْسِ.

23 S omeone asked Jesus, “Lord, will only a few people be saved from the punishment of sin?” Jesus said to them,

فَقالَ لَهُ أحَدُهُمْ: «يا سَيِّدُ، هَلِ الَّذِينَ سَيَخلُصُونَ قَلِيلُونَ؟» فَقالَ لَهُ:

24 “ Work hard to go in through the narrow door. I tell you, many will try to go in but will not be able to go in.

«اجتَهِدْ لِلدُّخُولِ مِنَ البابِ الضَّيِّقِ. لِأنِّي أقُولُ لَكُمْ إنَّ كَثِيرِينَ سَيُحاوِلُونَ الدُّخُولَ، لَكِنَّهُمْ لَنْ يَقدِرُوا.

25 T he owner of the house will get up and shut the door. You who are on the outside will knock on the door and say, ‘Lord, let us in.’ Then He will say, ‘I do not know you.’

فَبَعدَ أنْ يَقُومَ رَبُّ البَيتِ وَيُغلِقَ البابَ، سَتَقِفُونَ خارِجاً وَسَتَقرَعُونَ عَلَى البابِ وَتَقولونَ: ‹افتَحْ لَنا يا رَبُّ!› لَكِنَّهُ سَيُجِيبُكُمْ: ‹لا أعرِفُكُمْ وَلا أعرِفُ مِنْ أينَ أنتُمْ.›

26 T hen you will say, ‘We ate and drank with You when You taught in our streets.’

حِينَئِذٍ سَتَقُولُونَ: ‹لَقَدْ أكَلْنا مَعَكَ، وَشَرِبْنا مَعَكَ، وَقَدْ عَلَّمْتَ فِي شَوارِعِنا.›

27 B ut He will say, ‘I tell you, I do not know you. Go away from Me. You are sinful.’

فَيُجِيبُكُمْ: ‹لا أعرِفُكُمْ، وَلا أعرِفُ مِنْ أينَ أنتُمْ. فَاغرُبُوا عَنْ وَجهِي كُلُّكُمْ يا فاعِلِي الشَّرِّ.›

28 “ There will be loud crying and grinding of teeth when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the early preachers in the holy nation of God, but you will be put out.

وَسَتَبكُونَ وَتَصِرُّونَ بِأسنانِكُمْ حِينَ تَرَونَ إبراهِيمَ وَإسْحَقَ وَيَعقُوبَ وَكُلَّ الأنبِياءِ فِي مَلَكُوتِ اللهِ، بَينَما أنتُمْ مَطرُودُونَ خارِجاً.

29 T hose who sit at the table in the holy nation of God will come from the east and west and from the north and south.

وَسَيَأْتِي النّاسُ مِنَ الشَّرقِ وَالغَربِ وَالشَّمالِ وَالجَنُوبِ لِيَأْخُذُوا أماكِنَهُمْ حَولَ المائِدَةِ فِي مَلَكُوتِ اللهِ.

30 L isten! Some are last who will be first. Some are first who will be last.”

فَآخِرُ النّاسِ الآنَ سَيَكُونُونَ حِينَئِذٍ أوَّلَ النّاسِ، وَأوَّلُ النّاسِ الآنَ سَيَكُونُونَ حِينَئِذٍ آخِرَ النّاسِ!» يَسُوعُ سَيُمُوتُ فِي مَدينَةِ القُدْس

31 T hat same day some of the proud religious law-keepers came to Jesus. They said, “Go away from here! Herod wants to kill You.”

فِي ذَلِكَ الوَقتِ، جاءَ بَعضُ الفِرِّيسِيِّينَ إلَى يَسُوعَ وَقالُوا لَهُ: «اترُكْ هَذا المَكانَ وَاذْهَبْ إلَى مَكانٍ آخَرَ. فَهِيرُودُوسُ يَسعَى إلَى قَتلِكَ.»

32 J esus said to them, “Go and tell that fox, ‘See. I put out demons and heal the sick. I will do these things today and tomorrow. And the third day My work will be finished.’

فَقالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «اذهَبُوا وَقُولُوا لِذَلِكَ الثَّعلَبِ: ‹ها إنَّني أطرُدُ أرواحاً شِرِّيرَةً مِنَ النّاسِ، وَأشفِيهُمِ اليَومَ وَغَداً. وَفِي اليَومِ الثّالِثِ سَأُكمِلُ عَمَلِي.›

33 B ut I must go on My way today and tomorrow and the day after. One who speaks for God cannot die except at Jerusalem. Jesus Sorrows Over Jerusalem

غَيرَ أنَّهُ يَنْبَغِيُ عَلَيَّ أنْ أمضِيَ فِي طَرِيقِي اليَومَ وَغَداً وَبَعدَ غَدٍ. لِأنَّهُ لا يُمكِنُ لِنَبِيٍّ أنْ يَمُوتَ خارِجَ مَدينَةِ القُدْسِ.

34 “ Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you kill the early preachers and throw stones on those sent to you. How many times I wanted to gather your children around me, as a bird gathers her young under her wings, but you would not let Me.

يا قُدسُ، يا قُدْسُ، يا مَنْ تَقتُلِينَ الأنبِياءَ وَتَرجُمِينَ رُسُلَ اللهِ إلَيكِ! كَثِيراً ما اشتَقتُ أنْ أجمَعَ أبناءَكِ مَعاً كَدَجاجَةٍ تَجمَعُ صِغارَها تَحتَ جَناحَيْها! لَكِنَّكُمْ رَفَضْتُمْ.

35 S ee! Your house is empty. And I tell you, you will not see Me again until the time comes when you will say, ‘Great and honored is the One Who comes in the name of the Lord.’”

ها إنَّ بَيتَكُمْ سَيُترَكُ لَكُمْ فارِغاً! وَأقُولُ لَكُمْ، لَنْ تَرَونِي مَرَّةً أُخْرَى إلَى أنْ تَقُولُوا: ‹مُبارَكٌ هُوَ الَّذِي يَأْتِي بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ.› »
