1 “ For the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who was the master of a household, 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 W hen 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 H e 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 H e said to them, ‘You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.’ So they went their way.

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 bout the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle. He said to them, ‘Why do you stand here all day idle?’

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

7 “ They said to him, ‘Because no one has hired us.’ “He said to them, ‘You also go into the vineyard, and you will receive whatever is right.’

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

8 W hen evening had come, the lord of the vineyard said to his manager, ‘Call the laborers and pay them their wages, beginning from 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 “ When those who were hired at about the eleventh hour came, they each received a denarius.

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

10 W hen the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise each received a denarius.

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

11 W hen they received it, they murmured against the master of the household,

فَأخَذُوها، وَابتَدَأُوا يَتَذَمَّرُونَ عَلَى صاحِبِ الكَرْم.

12 s aying, ‘These last have spent one hour, and you have made them equal to us, who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat!’

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 “ But he answered one of them, ‘Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Didn’t you 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 that which is yours, and go your way. It is my desire to give to this last just as much as to you.

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

15 I sn’t it lawful for me to do what I want to with what I own? 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 are chosen.”

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

17 A s Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside, and on the way he 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 delivered to the chief priests and 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 will hand him over to the Gentiles to mock, to scourge, and to crucify; and the third day he will be raised up.”

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 the sons of Zebedee came to him with her sons, kneeling and asking a certain thing of him.

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

21 H e said to her, “What do you want?” She said to him, “Command that these, my two sons, may sit, one on your right hand, and one on your left hand, 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, “You don’t know what you are asking. 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 H e 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 hand is not mine to give; but it is for whom it has been 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 W hen the ten heard it, they were indignant with the two brothers.

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

25 B ut Jesus summoned them, and said, “You know that the rulers of the nations lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.

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

26 I t shall not be so among you, but whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant.

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

27 W hoever desires to be first among you shall be your bondservant,

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

28 e ven as the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

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

29 A s they went out from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.

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

30 B ehold, two blind men sitting by the road, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, “Lord, have mercy on us, you 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 he multitude rebuked them, telling them that they should be quiet, but they cried out even more, “Lord, have mercy on us, you son of David!”

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

32 J esus stood still, and called them, and asked, “What do you want me to do for you?”

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

33 T hey told him, “Lord, that our eyes may be opened.”

فَقالا: «يا سَيِّدُ، افتَحْ أعْيُنَنا.»

34 J esus, being moved with compassion, touched their eyes; and immediately their eyes received their sight, and they followed him.

فَتَحَنَّنَ يَسُوعُ عَليهِما، وَلَمَسَ أعْيُنَهُما، فَأبصَرا حالاً وَتَبِعاهُ.
