1 A nd when they come nigh to Jerusalem, to Bethphage, and Bethany, unto the mount of the Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples,

وَإذِ اقتَرَبُوا مِنَ مَدينَةِ القُدسِ، عِنْدَ بَلْدَةَ بَيتَ فاجِي وَبَيتَ عَنْيا قُرْبَ جَبَلِ الزَّيتُونِ، أرسَلَ يَسُوعُ اثْنَينِ مِنْ تَلامِيذِهِ،

2 a nd saith to them, `Go away to the village that is over-against you, and immediately, entering into it, ye shall find a colt tied, on which no one of men hath sat, having loosed it, bring:

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

3 a nd if any one may say to you, Why do ye this? say ye that the lord hath need of it, and immediately he will send it hither.'

فَإذا سَألَكُما أحَدٌ لِماذا تَفعَلانِ ذَلكَ، قُولا: ‹الرَّبُّ يَحتاجُ إلَيهِ. وَسَيُعِيدُهُ قَرِيباً.›»

4 A nd they went away, and found the colt tied at the door without, by the two ways, and they loose it,

فَذَهَبَ التِّلميذانِ وَوَجَدا الحِمارَ مَربُوطاً عِنْدَ أحَدِ الأبوابِ فِي الطَّرِيقِ، فَحَلّاهُ.

5 a nd certain of those standing there said to them, `What do ye -- loosing the colt?'

وَكانَ بَعضُ النّاسِ يَقِفُونَ هُناكَ فَقالُوا لَهُما: «لِماذا تَحُلّانِ الحِمارَ؟»

6 a nd they said to them as Jesus commanded, and they suffered them.

فَقالا لَهُمْ كَما أوصاهُما يَسوعُ، فَسَمَحُوا لَهُما.

7 A nd they brought the colt unto Jesus, and did cast upon it their garments, and he sat upon it,

وَأحضَرَ التِّلمِيذانِ الحِمارَ الصَّغِيرَ إلَى يَسُوعَ، وَوَضَعا ثِيابَهُما عَلَىْ الحِمارِ، فَجَلَسَ يَسوعُ عَلَيهِ.

8 a nd many did spread their garments in the way, and others were cutting down branches from the trees, and were strewing in the way.

وَكانَ كَثِيرُونَ مِنَ النّاسِ يَفرِشُونَ أردِيَتَهُمْ عَلَى الطَّرِيقِ. وَآخَرُونَ فَرَشُوا أغصاناً قَطَعُوها مِنَ الحُقُولِ.

9 A nd those going before and those following were crying out, saying, `Hosanna! blessed he who is coming in the name of the Lord;

وَكانَ النّاسُ مَنْ أمامِهِ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِ يَهتِفُونَ: «يَعيشُ المَلِكُ! مُبارَكٌ هُوَ الآتِي بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ.

10 b lessed is the coming reign, in the name of the Lord, of our father David; Hosanna in the highest.'

مُبارَكَةٌ مَملَكَةُ أبِينا داوُدُ الآتِيَةُ، يَعيشُ المَلكُ في عُلاه.»

11 A nd Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple, and having looked round on all things, it being now evening, he went forth to Bethany with the twelve.

ثُمَّ دَخَلَ يَسُوعُ إلَى القُدسِ وَاتَّجَهَ إلَى ساحَةِ الهَيكَلِ، وَكانَ المَساءُ قَدْ حَلَّ، فألقَى يَسوعُ نَظْرَةً عَلَىْ كُلِّ شَيءٍ حَولَهُ، ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ مَعَ الاثنِي عَشَرَ إلَى بَيتَ عَنْيا. يَسُوعُ يَلعَنُ شَجَرَةَ التِّين

12 A nd on the morrow, they having come forth from Bethany, he hungered,

وَفِي اليَومِ التّالِي، بَينَما هُمْ يُغادِرُونَ بَيتَ عَنْيا، جاعَ يَسُوعُ،

13 a nd having seen a fig-tree afar off having leaves, he came, if perhaps he shall find anything in it, and having come to it, he found nothing except leaves, for it was not a time of figs,

وَشاهَدَ مِنْ بَعيدٍ شَجَرَةَ تِينٍ مُورِقَةً. فَتَوَجَّهَ إلَيها لَعَلَّهُ يَجِدُ فِيها بَعْضَ الثِّمارِ، لَكِنَّهُ لَمْ يَجِدْ سِوَى الأوراقِ، وَذَلِكَ لِأنَّ المَوسِمَ لَمْ يَكُنْ مَوسِمَ إثمارِ التِّينِ.

14 a nd Jesus answering said to it, `No more from thee -- to the age -- may any eat fruit;' and his disciples were hearing.

فَقالَ يَسُوعُ لِلشَّجَرَةِ: «لا يَأكُلْ مِنْكِ أحَدٌ بَعْدَ الآنَ!» وَسَمِعَ تَلامِيذُهُ ما قالَهُ. يَسُوعُ يَطرُدُ التُّجّارَ مِنْ ساحَةِ الهَيكَل

15 A nd they come to Jerusalem, and Jesus having gone into the temple, began to cast forth those selling and buying in the temple, and the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those selling the doves, he overthrew,

ثُمَّ دَخَلُوا إلَى القُدْسِ. فَلَمّا دَخَلُوا ساحَةَ الهَيكَلِ، طَرَدَ يَسُوعُ تُجّاراً كانُوا يَبِيعُونَ وَيَشتَرُونَ هُناكَ، وَقَلَبَ مَوائِدَ الصَرّافينَ، وَمَقاعِدَ باعَةِ الحَمامِ.

16 a nd he did not suffer that any might bear a vessel through the temple,

وَلَمْ يَسمَحْ لِأحَدٍ بِعُبورِ السّاحَةِ وَهُوَ يَحمِلُ أيَّ غَرَضٍ.

17 a nd he was teaching, saying to them, `Hath it not been written -- My house a house of prayer shall be called for all the nations, and ye did make it a den of robbers?'

وَابتَدَأ يُعَلِّمُ النّاسَ وَيَقولُ: «ألَيسَ مَكتُوباً: ‹بَيتِي يُدعَى بَيتَ صَلاةٍ لِجَمِيعِ الأُمَمِ›؟ لَكِنَّكُمْ حَوَّلتُمُوهُ إلَى ‹وَكْرِ لُصُوصِ!› »

18 A nd the scribes and the chief priests heard, and they were seeking how they shall destroy him, for they were afraid of him, because all the multitude was astonished at his teaching;

وَسَمِعَ كِبارُ الكَهَنَةِ وَمُعَلِّمُو الشَّرِيعَةِ بِما حَدَثَ، فَبَدَأوا يَبحَثُونَ عَنْ طَرِيقَةٍ يَقتُلُونَهُ بِها. لَكِنَّهُمْ كانُوا يَخافُونَ مِنْهُ لأنَّ تَعلِيمَهُ كانَ يُدهِشُ الجَمِيعَ.

19 a nd when evening came, he was going forth without the city.

وَلَمّا حَلَّ المَساءُ، خَرَجَ يَسُوعُ وَتَلامِيذُهُ مِنَ المَدِينَةِ. قُوَّةُ الإيمان

20 A nd in the morning, passing by, they saw the fig-tree having been dried up from the roots,

وَفِي صَباحِ اليَومِ التّالِي، وَبَينَما هُمْ سائِرُونَ، رَأَوْا شَجَرَةَ التِّينِ وَقَدْ يَبِسَتْ مِنْ جُذُورِها.

21 a nd Peter having remembered saith to him, `Rabbi, lo, the fig-tree that thou didst curse is dried up.'

فَتَذَكَّرَ بُطرُسُ الأمْرَ وَقالَ لِيَسُوعَ: «انظُرْ يا مُعَلِّمُ! الشَّجَرَةُ الَّتِي لَعَنْتَها قَدْ يَبُسَتْ.»

22 A nd Jesus answering saith to them, `Have faith of God;

فَقالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «آمِنُوا بِاللهِ،

23 f or verily I say to you, that whoever may say to this mount, Be taken up, and be cast into the sea, and may not doubt in his heart, but may believe that the things that he saith do come to pass, it shall be to him whatever he may say.

فَأقُولُ لَكُمُ الحَقَّ، مَنْ قالَ لِهَذا الجَبَلِ: ‹لِتُقلَعْ مِنْ مَكانِكَ وَتُلْقَ فِيْ البَحْرِ،› وَلا يَشُكُّ فِي قَلْبِهِ، بَلْ يُؤْمِنُ بِأنَّ ما يَقُولُهُ سَيَحدُثُ، فَإنَّ كَلامَهُ سَيَتَحَقَّقُ لَهُ.

24 B ecause of this I say to you, all whatever -- praying -- ye do ask, believe that ye receive, and it shall be to you.

لِهَذا أقُولُ لَكُمْ، كُلُّ ما تَطلُبُونَهُ وَأنْتُمْ تُصَلُّونَ، آمِنوا بِأنَّهُ لَكُمْ، فَيَكونَ لَكُمْ.

25 ` And whenever ye may stand praying, forgive, if ye have anything against any one, that your Father also who is in the heavens may forgive you your trespasses;

وَإذا هَمَمْتُمْ بِالصَلاةِ، فَاغْفِروا أوَّلاً إنْ كانَ فيكُمْ أيُّ شَيءٍ ضِدَّ شَخْصٍ آخَرِ، حَتَّى يَغفِرَ أبُوكُمُ الَّذِي فِي السَّماءِ زَلّاتِكُمْ.

26 a nd, if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in the heavens forgive your trespasses.'

فَإنْ لَمْ تَغفِرُوا لِلآخَرِينَ، لا يَغفِرُ لَكُمْ أبُوكُمُ الَّذِي فِي السَّماءِ زَلّاتِكُمْ.» التّشكيكُ بِسُلطانِ يَسُوع

27 A nd they come again to Jerusalem, and in the temple, as he is walking, there come unto him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders,

بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ، عادُوا إلَى القُدسِ. وَبَينَما كانَ يَسُوعُ يَسِيرُ فِي ساحَةِ الهَيكَلِ، جاءَ إلَيهِ كِبارُ الكَهَنَةِ، وَمُعَلِّمُو الشَّرِيعَةِ وَالشُّيُوخُ.

28 a nd they say to him, `By what authority dost thou these things? and who gave thee this authority that these things thou mayest do?'

وَسَألَوهُ: «أخبِرنا بِأيِّ سُلطانٍ تَفعَلُ هَذِهِ الأشياءَ، وَمَنِ الَّذِي أعطاكَ هَذا السُّلطانَ؟»

29 A nd Jesus answering said to them, `I will question you -- I also -- one word; and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things;

فَقالَ لَهُمْ: «وَسَأسألُكُمْ أنا أيضاً، فَأَجيبونِي أُخبِرْكُمْ بِأيِّ سُلطانٍ أفعَلُ هَذِاَ:

30 t he baptism of John -- from heaven was it? or from men? answer me.'

هَلْ كانَتْ مَعمُودِيَّةُ يُوحَنّا مِنَ اللهِ أمْ مِنَ النّاسِ؟ أجِيبُونِي.»

31 A nd they were reasoning with themselves, saying, `If we may say, From heaven, he will say, Wherefore, then, did ye not believe him?

فَتَشاوروا فِي ما بَينَهُمْ وَقالوا: «إنْ قُلْنا إنَّها مِنَ اللهِ، فَسَيَقُولُ لَنا: ‹لِماذا إذاً لَمْ تَقبَلُوها؟›

32 B ut if we may say, From men,' -- they were fearing the people, for all were holding John that he was indeed a prophet;

وَإنْ قُلْنا إنَّها مِنَ النّاسِ، فَإنَّ الشَّعبَ سَيَثورُ عَلَينا.» وَكانَ القادَةُ يَخافُونَ مِنَ الشَّعبِ، لِأنَّ الجَمِيعَ كانوا يَعْتَبِرونَ يُوحَنّا نَبِيّاً بِالفِعِلِ.

33 a nd answering they say to Jesus, `We have not known;' and Jesus answering saith to them, `Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.'

فَأجابُوا يَسُوعَ وَقالُوا: «لا نَعلَمُ.» فَقالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «وَلا أنا أُخبِرُكُمْ بِأيِّ سُلطانٍ أفعَلُ هَذِهِ الأُمُورَ.»
