1 H e began to speak to them in parables. “A man planted a vineyard, put a hedge around it, dug a pit for the wine press, built a tower, rented it out to a farmer, and went into another country.

وَابتَدَأ يَسُوعُ يَتَحَدَّثُ إلَيْهِمْ بِأمثالٍ فَقالَ: «غَرَسَ رَجُلٌ كَرْماً، وَأحاطَهُ بِسِياجٍ، وَحَفَرَ حُفْرَةً لِتَكونَ مِعصَرَةً لِلعِنَبِ، وَبَنَى بُرجاً لِلحِراسَةِ. ثُمَّ أجَّرَهُ لِبَعضِ الفَلّاحِينَ وَسافَرَ بَعِيداً.

2 W hen it was time, he sent a servant to the farmer to get from the farmer his share of the fruit of the vineyard.

«وَجاءَ وَقتُ الحَصادِ. فَأرسَلَ خادِماً إلَى الفَلّاحِينَ لِكَي يَأخُذَ مِنْهُمْ شَيئاً مِنْ نَتاجِ الكَرمِ.

3 T hey took him, beat him, and sent him away empty.

فَأمسَكُوهُ وَضَرَبُوهُ، وَصَرَفُوهُ فارِغَ اليَدينِ.

4 A gain, he sent another servant to them; and they threw stones at him, wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully treated.

فَأرسَلَ صاحِبُ الكَرمِ خادِماً آخَرَ إلَيْهِمْ، فَجَرَحُوا رَأسَهُ، وَأهانُوهُ.

5 A gain he sent another; and they killed him; and many others, beating some, and killing some.

فَأرسَلَ صاحِبُ الكَرمِ كَثِيرِينَ غَيرَهُ، فَضَرَبُوا بَعضَهُمْ، وَقَتَلُوا بَعضَهُمْ.

6 T herefore still having one, his beloved son, he sent him last to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’

«فَلَمْ يَبْقَ عِندَهُ سِوَى ابْنِهِ الَّذيْ يُحِبُّهُ. فَأرسَلَهُ إلَيْهِمْ أخِيراً وَهوَ يَقولُ: ‹سَيَحتَرِمُونَ ابنِي!›

7 B ut those farmers said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’

«وَلَكِنَّ الفَلّاحينَ تَشاوَرُوا فِي ماَ بَينَهُمْ وَقالُوا: ‹هَذا هُوَ الوَرِيثُ، فَلنَقتُلْهُ فَيُصْبِحَ الميراثُ لَنا.›

8 T hey took him, killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.

فَقَبَضُوا عَلَيهِ وَقَتَلُوهُ، وَألقَوهُ خارِجَ الكَرْمِ.

9 W hat therefore will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the farmers, and will give the vineyard to others.

«فَماذا سَيَفعَلُ صاحِبُ الكَرمِ بِهِمْ؟ سَيَأْتِي وَيَقتُلُ هَؤُلاءِ الفَلّاحِينَ، وَيُعطِي الكَرمَ لِغَيرِهِمْ.

10 H aven’t you even read this Scripture: ‘The stone which the builders rejected, the same was made the head of the corner.

ألَمْ تَقرَأوا المَكْتوبَ: ‹الحَجَرُ الَّذِي رَفَضَهُ البَنّاؤُونَ، هُوَ الَّذِي صارَ حَجَرَ الأساسِ.

11 T his was from the Lord, it is marvelous in our eyes’?”

الرَّبُّ صَنَعَ هَذا الأمْرَ، وَهُوَ أمْرٌ عَظيمٌ فِي عُيُونِنا؟›»

12 T hey tried to seize him, but they feared the multitude; for they perceived that he spoke the parable against them. They left him, and went away.

وَبَدَأُوا يَبحَثُونَ عَنْ طَرِيقَةٍ لِلإيقاعِ بِيَسُوعَ، لِأنَّهُمْ عَرَفُوا أنَّهُ كانَ يَقصِدُهُمْ بِالمَثَلِ الَّذِي رَواهُ. لَكِنَّهُمْ كانُوا يَخافُونَ مِنَ النّاسِ، فَتَرَكُوهُ وَذَهَبُوا. قادَةُ اليَهُودِ يُحاوِلُونَ الإيقاعَ بِيَسُوع

13 T hey sent some of the Pharisees and of the Herodians to him, that they might trap him with words.

وَأرسَلُوا إلَيهِ بَعضَ الفِرِّيسِيِّينَ وَأتباعِ هيرُودُسَ لِيُوقِعُوا بِهِ فِي شَيءٍ يَقُولُهُ.

14 W hen they had come, they asked him, “Teacher, we know that you are honest, and don’t defer to anyone; for you aren’t partial to anyone, but truly teach the way of God. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?

فَأتُوا إلَيهِ وَسَألُوهُ: «يا مُعَلِّمُ، نَحنُ نَعلَمُ أنَّكَ صادِقٌ وَلا تُجامِلُ أحَداً، لأنَّكَ لا تَنظُرُ إلَى مَقاماتِ النّاسِ، بَلْ تُعَلِّمُ طَرِيقَ اللهِ بِكُلِّ صِدقٍ. فَقُلْ لَنا أيَجُوزُ أنْ تُدفَعَ الضَّرائِبُ لِلقَيصَرِ أمْ لا؟ أنَدفَعُها أمْ لا؟»

15 S hall we give, or shall we not give?” But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, “Why do you test me? Bring me a denarius, that I may see it.”

فَرَأى يَسُوعُ نِفاقَهُمْ، فَقالَ لَهُمْ: «لِماذا تُحاوِلُونَ الإيقاعَ بِيْ؟ أرُونِي دِيناراً.»

16 T hey brought it. He said to them, “Whose is this image and inscription?” They said to him, “Caesar’s.”

فَأعْطَوهُ، فَقالَ لَهُمْ: «لِمَنْ هَذا الرَّسمُ وَهَذا الاسْمُ المَنقوشانِ عَلَى الدِّينارِ؟» فَقالُوا: «للِقَيصَرِ.»

17 J esus answered them, “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” They marveled greatly at him.

فَقالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «أعطُوا القَيصَرَ ما يَخُصُّهُ، وَأعطُوا اللهَ ما يَخُصُّهُ.» فَاندَهَشُوا مِنْهُ. الصَّدُوقِيُّونَ يُحاوِلُونَ الإيقاعَ بِيَسُوع

18 T here came to him Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection. They asked him, saying,

وَجاءَ إلَيهِ بَعضُ الصَّدُّوقِيِّينَ، وَهُمُ الَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ إنَّهُ لا تُوجَدُ قِيامَةٌ، وَسَألُوهُ:

19 “ Teacher, Moses wrote to us, ‘If a man’s brother dies, and leaves a wife behind him, and leaves no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up offspring for his brother.’

«يا مُعَلِّمُ، كَتَبَ مُوسَى لَنا: ‹إنْ كانَ لِأحَدٍ أخٌ مُتَزَوِّجٌ، وَماتَ ذَلِكَ الأخُ وَلَمْ يُنجِبْ أولاداً، فَإنَّ عَلَى أخِيهِ أنْ يَتَزَوَّجَ أرمَلَتَهُ وَيُنجِبَ وَلَداً يُنسَبُ لِأخِيْهِ.›

20 T here were seven brothers. The first took a wife, and dying left no offspring.

فَكانَ هُناكَ سَبعَةُ إخْوَةٍ. تَزَوَّجَ الأوَّلُ امْرأةً وَماتَ مِنْ دُونِ أنْ يُنجِبَ.

21 T he second took her, and died, leaving no children behind him. The third likewise;

فَتَزَوَّجَها الثّانِي، وَماتَ أيضاً مِنْ دُونِ أنْ يُنجِبْ. ثُمَّ الثّالِثُ.

22 a nd the seven took her and left no children. Last of all the woman also died.

وَكَذَلِكَ الأمرُ مَعَ الإخوَةِ السَّبعَةِ، إذْ ماتُوا وَلَمْ يُنجِبُوا أولاداً. ثُمَّ ماتَتِ المَرأةُ.

23 I n the resurrection, when they rise, whose wife will she be of them? For the seven had her as a wife.”

فَلِمَنْ تَكونُ زَوجَةً عِندَما يَقُومُونَ يَومَ القِيامَةِ؟ فَقَدْ تَزَوَّجَ السَّبعَةُ مِنها.»

24 J esus answered them, “Isn’t this because you are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God?

فَقالَ يَسُوعُ: «ألَيسَ السَّبَبُ فِي ضَلالِكُمْ هُوَ أنَّكُمْ لا تَعرِفُونَ الكُتُبَ، وَلا تَعْرِفونَ قُوَّةَ اللهِ؟

25 F or when they will rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.

فَعِندَما يَقُومُ النّاسُ مِنَ المَوتِ، لا يَتَزَوَّجُونَ وَلا يُزَوِّجُونَ، بَلْ يَكُونُونَ كَالمَلائِكَةِ فِي السَّماءِ.

26 B ut about the dead, that they are raised; haven’t you read in the book of Moses, about the Bush, how God spoke to him, saying, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’ ?

أمّا عَنْ حَقيقَةِ قِيامَةِ الأمْواتِ، أفَلَمْ تَقرَأوا فِي كِتابِ مُوسَى، حادِثَةَ الشُّجَيرَةِ المُشتَعِلَةِ؟ حَيثُ قالَ اللهُ لِمُوسَى: ‹أنا إلَهُ إبراهِيمَ وَإلَهُ إسْحَاقَ وَإلَهُ يَعقُوبَ.›

27 H e is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are therefore badly mistaken.”

وَلَيسَ اللهُ إلَهَ أمْواتٍ، بَلْ إلَهُ أحْياءٍ. وَأنتُمْ فِي ضَلالٍ عَظِيمٍ.» أعظمُ الوَصايا

28 O ne of the scribes came, and heard them questioning together. Knowing that he had answered them well, asked him, “Which commandment is the greatest of all?”

وَسَمِعَ أحَدُ مُعَلِّمِي الشَّرِيعَةِ هَذا الحِوارَ. فَلَمّا رَأى كَيفَ أحسَنَ يَسُوعُ فِي إجابَتِهِ لِلصَّدُّوقِيِّينَ، تَقَدَّمَ وَسَألَهُ: «ما هِيَ أعظَمُ وَصِيَّةٍ؟»

29 J esus answered, “The greatest is, ‘Hear, Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one:

أجابَهُ يَسُوعُ: «الأعظَمُ هِيَ هَذِهِ: ‹اسمَعْ يا إسْرائِيلُ، الرَّبُّ إلَهُنا هُوَ الرَّبُّ الوَحِيدُ،

30 y ou shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment.

وَ‹تُحِبُّ الرَّبَّ إلَهَكَ بِكُلِّ قَلبِكَ، وَبِكُلِّ نَفسِكَ، وَبِكُلِّ عَقلِكَ، وَبِكُلِّ قُوَّتِكَ،›

31 T he second is like this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”

وَالوَصِيَّةُ الثّانِيَةُ: ‹تُحِبُّ صاحِبَكَ كَما تُحِبُّ نَفسَكَ.› لا تُوجَدُ وَصِيَّةٌ أعظَمُ مِنْ هاتَينِ الوَصِيَّتينِ.»

32 T he scribe said to him, “Truly, teacher, you have said well that he is one, and there is none other but he,

فَقالَ لَهُ مُعَلِّمُ الشَّرِيعَةِ: «أحسَنتَ القَولَ يا مُعَلِّمُ، إنَّهُ اللهُ وَحدَهُ، وَلا أحَدَ سِواهُ.

33 a nd to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbor as himself, is more important than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.”

وَأنْ تُحِبَّهُ بِكُلِّ قَلبِكَ، وَبِكُلِّ فَهْمِكَ، وَبِكُلِّ قُوَّتِكَ، وَأنْ تُحِبَّ صَاحِبَكَ كَنَفسِكَ هِيَ أعظَمُ مِنْ كُلِّ الذَّبائِحِ وَالتَّقدِماتِ.»

34 W hen Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, “You are not far from God’s Kingdom.” No one dared ask him any question after that.

فَلَمّا رَأى يَسُوعُ أنَّ الرَّجُلَ أجابَ بِحِكمَةٍ قالَ لَهُ: «أنتَ لَستَ بَعِيداً عَنْ مَلَكوتِ اللهِ.» وَلَمْ يَجرُؤْ أحَدٌ بَعدَ ذَلِكَ أنْ يَسألَهُ مَزِيداً مِنَ الأسئِلَةِ. المَسِيحُ سَيِّدُ داوُد

35 J esus responded, as he taught in the temple, “How is it that the scribes say that the Christ is the son of David?

وَكانَ يُعَلِّمُ فِي المَجمَعِ، فَقالَ: «كَيفَ يَقُولُ مُعَلِّمُوا الشَّرِيعَةِ إنَّ المَسِيحَ هُوَ ابْنُ داوُدَ؟

36 F or David himself said in the Holy Spirit, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet.”’

لِأنَّ داوُدَ نَفسَهُ قالَ بِالرُّوحِ القُدُسِ: ‹قالَ الرَّبُّ لِسَيِّدِي: اجلِسْ عَنْ يَمِينِي إلَى أنْ أضَعَ أعداءَكَ تَحتَ قَدَمَيكَ.

37 T herefore David himself calls him Lord, so how can he be his son?” The common people heard him gladly.

فَإنْ كانَ داوُدُ نَفسَهُ يَدعُو المَسِيحَ سَيِّداً، فَكَيفَ يُمكِنُ أنْ يَكُونَ ابْنَهُ؟» وَكانَ الجَمعُ الكَبِيرُ يَستَمِعُ لَهُ بِسُرُورٍ. يَسُوعُ يَنتَقِدُ رَجالَ الدّين

38 I n his teaching he said to them, “Beware of the scribes, who like to walk in long robes, and to get greetings in the marketplaces,

وَقالَ لَهُمْ فِي تَعلِيمِهِ: «احذَرُوا مِنْ مُعَلِّمِي الشَّرِيعَةِ، فَهُمْ يُحِبُّونَ أنْ يَتَجَوَّلُوا بِثِيابِهِمُ الطَّوِيلَةِ، وَأنْ يُحَيِّيهِمُ النّاسُ فِي الأماكِنِ العامَّةِ.

39 a nd the best seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts:

يُحِبُّونَ المَقاعِدَ الأُولَى فِي المَجامِعِ، وَأنْ يَكُونُوا مُتَصَدِّرِينَ فِي الوَلائِمِ.

40 t hose who devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation.”

يَحتالُونَ عَلَى الأرامِلِ وَيَسرِقُونَ بُيُوتَهُنَّ. وَيُصَلُّونَ صَلَواتٍ طَوِيلَةً مِنْ أجلِ لَفتِ الأنظارِ. لِذَلِكَ سَيَنالُونَ عِقاباً أشَدَّ.» الأرمَلَةُ المُعْطِيَة

41 J esus sat down opposite the treasury, and saw how the multitude cast money into the treasury. Many who were rich cast in much.

وَبَينَما هُوَ جالِسٌ مُقابِلَ صَندُوقِ التَّبَرُّعاتِ فِي الهَيكَلِ، كانَ يُشاهِدُ كَيفَ يَضَعُ النّاسُ النُّقُودَ فِي الصُّندُوقِ. وَكَثِيرٌ مِنَ الأغنِياءِ وَضَعُوا كَثِيراً مِنَ المالِ.

42 A poor widow came, and she cast in two small brass coins, which equal a quadrans coin.

وَجاءَتْ أرمَلَةٌ فَقِيرَةٌ وَوَضَعَتْ فِلسَينِ قِيمَتُهُمُا قَلِيلَةٌ جِدّاً.

43 H e called his disciples to himself, and said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, this poor widow gave more than all those who are giving into the treasury,

فَدَعا يَسُوعُ تَلامِيذَهُ، وَقالَ لَهُمْ: «أقُولُ لَكُمُ الحَقَّ، إنَّ هَذِهِ الأرمَلَةَ الفَقِيرَةَ وَضَعَتْ فِي الصُّندُوقِ أكثَرَ مِنْ كُلِّ الآخَرِينَ الَّذينَ وَضَعوا فِي الصُّنْدوقِ.

44 f or they all gave out of their abundance, but she, out of her poverty, gave all that she had to live on.”

فَكُلُّ هَؤُلاءِ النّاسِ قَدَّمُوا مِمّا يَستَطِيعُونَ الاستِغناءَ عَنهُ، أمّا هِيَ فَقَدْ قَدَّمَتْ ما تَحتاجُ إليهِ، كُلَّ ما لَدَيها، كُلَّ ما تَملِكُهُ لِتَعِيشَ بِهِ.»
