1 A nd it came to pass, on the second-first sabbath, as he is going through the corn fields, that his disciples were plucking the ears, and were eating, rubbing with the hands,

وَفِي أحَدِ أيّامِ السَّبتِ كانَ يَسُوعُ مارّاً فِي بَعضِ الحُقُولِ. وَكانَ تَلامِيذُهُ يَقطِفُونَ السَّنابِلَ، ثُمَّ يَفرُكُونَها بِأيدِيهِمْ وَيَأْكُلُونَها.

2 a nd certain of the Pharisees said to them, `Why do ye that which is not lawful to do on the sabbaths?'

فَقالَ بَعضُ الفِرِّيْسِيِّينَ: «لِماذا تَفعَلُونَ ما لا يَجُوزُ فِعلُهُ فِي السَّبتِ؟»

3 A nd Jesus answering said unto them, `Did ye not read even this that David did, when he hungered, himself and those who are with him,

فَأجابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ وَقالَ: «ألَمْ تَقرَأُوا فِي الكِتابِ ما فَعَلَهُ داوُدُ عِندَما جاعَ هُوَ وَمَنْ مَعَهُ؟

4 h ow he went into the house of God, and the loaves of the presentation did take, and did eat, and gave also to those with him, which it is not lawful to eat, except only to the priests?'

لَقَدْ دَخَلَ إلَى بَيتِ اللهِ، وَأخَذَ أرغِفَةَ الخُبزِ المُقَدَّمَةَ إلَى اللهِ، وَأكَلَ مِنها وَأعطَى أيضاً الَّذِيْنَ كانُوا مَعَهُ. وَلا يَجُوزُ لِأحَدٍ أنْ يَأْكُلَ ذَلِكَ الخُبزَ سِوَى الكَهَنَةِ.»

5 a nd he said to them, -- `The Son of Man is lord also of the sabbath.'

ثُمَّ قالَ لَهُمْ: «ابْنُ الإنسانِ هُوَ رَبُّ السَّبتِ.» يَسُوعُ يَشفِي في يَومِ السَّبت

6 A nd it came to pass also, on another sabbath, that he goeth into the synagogue, and teacheth, and there was there a man, and his right hand was withered,

وَفِي سَبتٍ آخَرَ، دَخَلَ يَسُوعُ المَجمَعَ لِيُعَلِّمَ. وَكانَ هُناكَ رَجُلٌ يَدُهُ اليُمنَى مَشلُولَةٌ.

7 a nd the scribes and the Pharisees were watching him, if on the sabbath he will heal, that they might find an accusation against him.

أمّا مُعَلِّمُو الشَّرِيعَةِ وَالفِرِّيْسِيِّونَ فَكانوا يُراقِبُونَ يَسُوعَ لِيَرَوا إنْ كانَ سَيَشفِي أحَداً فِي السَّبتِ، وَذَلِكَ لِيَجِدوا مُبَرِّراً لِتَوجِيهِ تُهمَةٍ إلَيهِ.

8 A nd he himself had known their reasonings, and said to the man having the withered hand, `Rise, and stand in the midst;' and he having risen, stood.

فَعَرَفَ يَسُوعُ أفكارَهُمْ، فَقالَ لِلرَّجُلِ ذِي اليَدِ المَشلُولَةِ: «انهَضْ وَقِفْ أمامَ الجَمِيعِ!» فَنَهَضَ الرَّجُلُ وَوَقَفَ أمامَ الجَمِيعِ.

9 T hen said Jesus unto them, `I will question you something: Is it lawful on the sabbaths to do good, or to do evil? life to save or to kill?'

فَقالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «أُرِيدُ أنْ أسألَكُمْ: هَلْ يَجُوزُ فِعلُ الخَيرِ أمْ فِعلُ الأذَى في يَومِ السَّبتِ؟ أيَجُوزُ إنقاذُ حَياةِ إنسانٍ أمْ إهلاكُها؟»

10 A nd having looked round on them all, he said to the man, `Stretch forth thy hand;' and he did so, and his hand was restored whole as the other;

وَنَظَرَ يَسُوعُ حَولَهُ إلَيْهِمْ كُلِّهِمْ، ثُمَّ قالَ لِلرَّجُلِ: «مُدَّ يَدَكَ،» فَمَدَّها، فَشُفِيَتْ!

11 a nd they were filled with madness, and were speaking with one another what they might do to Jesus.

لَكِنَّهُمُ امتَلأُوا غَضَباً شَدِيداً، وَأخَذوا يَتَشاورونَ حَولَ ما يُمكِنُهُمْ أنْ يَفعَلُوهُ لِيَسُوعَ. يَسُوعُ يَختارُ الاثنَي عَشَر

12 A nd it came to pass in those days, he went forth to the mountain to pray, and was passing the night in the prayer of God,

وَفِي تِلكَ الأيّامِ، خَرَجَ يَسُوعُ إلَى جَبَلٍ لِيُصَلِّي، وَأمضَى اللَّيلَةَ فِي الصَّلاةِ.

13 a nd when it became day, he called near his disciples, and having chosen from them twelve, whom also he named apostles,

وَلَمّا جاءَ النَّهارُ، دَعا تَلامِيذَهُ، وَاختارَ مِنْ بَينِهِمُ اثنَي عَشَرَ سَمّاهُمْ رُسُلاً.

14 ( Simon, whom also he named Peter, and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,

وَهُمْ: سِمعانُ الَّذِي سَمّاهُ أيضاً بُطرُسَ، أندراوُسُ أخُو بُطرُسَ، يَعقُوبُ، يُوحَنّا، فِيلِيبُّسُ، بَرثُولَماوُسُ،

15 M atthew and Thomas, James of Alphaeus, and Simon called Zelotes,

مَتَّى، تُوما، يَعقُوبُ بْنَ حَلفَى، سِمعانُ الَّذِي يُدعَى أيضاً «الغَيُورُ،»

16 J udas of James, and Judas Iscariot, who also became betrayer;)

يَهُوذا بنَ يَعقُوبَ، يَهُوذا الإسْخَريُوطِّيَّ الَّذِي أصبَحَ خائِناً. يَسُوعُ يُعَلِّمُ وَيَشفِي

17 a nd having come down with them, he stood upon a level spot, and a crowd of his disciples, and a great multitude of the people from all Judea, and Jerusalem, and the maritime Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him, and to be healed of their sicknesses,

ثُمَّ نَزَلَ يَسُوعُ عَنِ الجَبَلِ وَوَقَفَ عَلَى أرْضٍ مُنبَسِطَةٍ، وَكانَ هُناكَ جَمعٌ عَظِيمٌ مِنْ أتباعِهِ، وَعَدَدٌ كَبِيرٌ مِنَ النّاسِ مِنْ جَمِيعِ أنحاءِ مِنْطَقَةِ اليَهُودِيَّةِ وَمِنْ مَدينَةِ القُدسِ وَمِنْ ساحِلِ صُورَ وَصَيداءَ.

18 a nd those harassed by unclean spirits, and they were healed,

كانَ هَؤُلاءِ قَدْ جاءُوا لِيَستَمِعُوا إلَيهِ، وَلِيُشفُوا مِنْ أمراضِهِمْ. وَشُفِيَ أيضاً المُتَضايِقُونَ مِنْ أرواحٍ شِرِّيرَةٍ.

19 a nd all the multitude were seeking to touch him, because power from him was going forth, and he was healing all.

وَكانَ الجُمهُورُ يَسعَى إلَى لَمسِهِ. فَقَدْ كانَتْ تَخرُجُ مِنهُ قُوَّةٌ وَتَشفِيهِمْ جَمِيعاً.

20 A nd he, having lifted up his eyes to his disciples, said: `Happy the poor -- because yours is the reign of God.

ثُمَّ رَفَعَ يَسُوعُ نَظَرَهُ إلَى تَلامِيذِهِ وَقالَ: «هَنِيئاً لَكُمْ أيُّها المَساكِينُ، لِأنَّ مَلَكُوتَ اللهِ قَدْ أُعطِيَ لَكُمْ.

21 ` Happy those hungering now -- because ye shall be filled. `Happy those weeping now -- because ye shall laugh.

هَنِيئاً لَكُمْ يا مَنْ أنتُمْ جِياعٌ الآنَ، لِأنَّكُمْ سَتُشبَعُونَ. هَنِيئاً لَكُمْ يا مَنْ تَبكُونَ الآنَ، لِأنَّكُمْ سَتَضحَكُونَ.

22 ` Happy are ye when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you, and shall reproach, and shall cast forth your name as evil, for the Son of Man's sake --

هَنِيئاً لَكُمْ عِندَما يُبغِضُكُمُ النّاسُ وَيَرفضونَكُمْ بِحِجَّةِ أنَّكُمْ أشرارٌ، فَقَطْ لِأنَّكُمْ تَتبَعُونَ ابنَ الإنسانِ.

23 r ejoice in that day, and leap, for lo, your reward great in the heaven, for according to these things were their fathers doing to the prophets.

ابتَهِجُوا فِي ذَلِكَ اليَومِ وَافرَحُوا فَرَحاً عَظِيماً. فَها هِيَ مُكافَأتُكُمْ عَظِيمَةٌ فِي السَّماءِ! فَآباؤهُمْ فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ مَعَ الأنبِياءِ.

24 ` But wo to you -- the rich, because ye have got your comfort.

«الوَيلُ لَكُمْ أيُّها الأغنِياءُ، لِأنَّكُمْ قَدْ نِلتُمْ نَصِيْبَكُمْ مِنَ الرّاحَةِ.

25 ` Wo to you who have been filled -- because ye shall hunger. `Wo to you who are laughing now -- because ye shall mourn and weep.

الوَيلُ لَكُمْ يا مَنْ شَبِعتُمُ الآنَ، لِأنَّكُمْ سَتَجُوعُونَ. الوَيلُ لَكُمْ يا مَنْ تَضحَكُونَ الآنَ، لِأنَّكُمْ سَتَنُوحُونَ وَتَبكُونَ.

26 ` Wo to you when all men shall speak well of you -- for according to these things were their fathers doing to false prophets.

الوَيلُ لَكُمْ عِندَما يَمدَحُكُمْ جَمِيعُ النّاسِ، فَآباؤهُمْ فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ مَعَ الأنبِياءِ المُزَيَّفِينَ. أحِبُّوا أعداءَكُم

27 ` But I say to you who are hearing, Love your enemies, do good to those hating you,

«أمّا أنتُمْ أيُّها السّامِعُونَ، فَأقُولُ لَكُمْ: أحِبُّوا أعداءَكُمْ، اصنَعُوا خَيراً مَعَ مَنْ يُبغِضُونَكُمْ.

28 b less those cursing you, and pray for those accusing you falsely;

بارِكُوا لاعِنِيكُمْ، وَصَلُّوا لِأجلِ الَّذِينَ يُسِيئُونَ مُعامَلَتَكُمْ.

29 a nd to him smiting thee upon the cheek, give also the other, and from him taking away from thee the mantle, also the coat thou mayest not keep back.

إذا لَطَمَكَ أحَدٌ عَلَى خَدِّكَ، فَقَدِّمْ لَهُ الخَدَّ الآخَرَ أيضاً. وَإذا أخَذَ أحَدُهُمْ مِعطَفَكَ، فَدَعهُ يَأخُذُ قَمِيصَكَ أيضاً.

30 ` And to every one who is asking of thee, be giving; and from him who is taking away thy goods, be not asking again;

أعطِ كُلَّ مَنْ يَطلُبُ مِنكَ. وَإذا أخَذَ أحَدُهُمْ مالَكَ، فَلا تُطالِبْ باستِرجاعِهِ.

31 a nd as ye wish that men may do to you, do ye also to them in like manner;

وَكَما تُحِبُّ أنْ يُعامِلَكَ الآخَرُونَ، هَكَذا عَلَيكَ أنْ تُعامِلَهُمْ.

32 a nd -- if ye love those loving you, what grace have ye? for also the sinful love those loving them;

«إنْ أحبَبْتُمْ مَنْ يُحِبُّونَكُمْ فَقَط، فَأيَّ مَدِيحٍ تَستَحِقُّونَ؟ فَحَتَّى الخُطاةُ يُحِبُّونَ مَنْ يُحِبُّونَهُمْ.

33 a nd if ye do good to those doing good to you, what grace have ye? for also the sinful do the same;

وَإنْ صَنَعتُمْ خَيراً لِمَنْ يَصنَعُونَ الخَيرَ لَكُمْ، فَأيَّ مَدِيحٍ تَستَحِقُّونَ؟ فَحَتَّى الخُطاةُ يَفعَلُونَ هَذا.

34 a nd if ye lend of whom ye hope to receive back, what grace have ye? for also the sinful lend to sinners -- that they may receive again as much.

وَإنْ أقرَضْتُمُ الَّذِينَ تَأْمَلُونَ أنْ تَستَرِدُّوا مِنهُمْ مالَكُمْ، فَأيَّ مَدِيحٍ تَستَحِقُّونَ؟ فَحَتَّى الخُطاةُ يُقرِضُونَ الخُطاةَ، لِيَستَرِدُّوا مالَهُمْ كامِلاً.

35 ` But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again, and your reward will be great, and ye shall be sons of the Highest, because He is kind unto the ungracious and evil;

«لَكِنْ أحِبُّوا أعداءَكُمْ، وَاصنَعُوا الخَيرَ لَهُمْ. أقرِضُوا وَلا تَنتَظِرُوا أنْ تَستَرِدُّوا شَيئاً، فَتَكُونَ مُكافَأتَكُمْ عَظِيمَةٌ، وَتَكُونُونَ أبناءَ اللهِ العَلِيِّ. فَهوَ كَرِيمٌ حَتَّى نَحوَ النّاكِرِيْنَ لِلجَمِيلِ وَلِلأشرارِ.

36 b e ye therefore merciful, as also your Father is merciful.

كُونُوا رُحَماءَ كَما أنَّ أباكُمْ رَحِيمٌ. انظُرُوا إلَى أنفُسِكُم

37 ` And judge not, and ye may not be judged; condemn not, and ye may not be condemned; release, and ye shall be released.

«لا تَحكُمُوا عَلَى الآخَرِيْنَ، فَلا يُحكَمَ عَلَيكُمْ. لا تَدِينُوا الآخَرِينَ، فَلا تُدانُوا. سامِحُوا الآخَرِيْنَ فَتُسامَحُوا.

38 ` Give, and it shall be given to you; good measure, pressed, and shaken, and running over, they shall give into your bosom; for with that measure with which ye measure, it shall be measured to you again.'

أعطُوا الآخَرِينَ فَتُعطَوا. فَسَيَضَعونَ في أحضانِكُمْ كَيلاً كَبِيْراً مُلبَّداً مَهزُوزاً فائِضاً. فَبِالكَيلِ الَّذِي تَكِيلُونَ بِهِ لِلآخَرِيْنَ سَيُكالُ لَكُمْ.»

39 A nd he spake a simile to them, `Is blind able to lead blind? shall they not both fall into a pit?

وَقالَ لَهُمْ أيضاً هَذا المَثَلَ: «هَلْ يَستَطِيعُ أعمَى أنْ يَقُودَ أعمَى؟ أفَلا يَقَعُ الاثنانِ فِي حُفرَةٍ؟

40 A disciple is not above his teacher, but every one perfected shall be as his teacher.

فَما مِنْ تِلمِيذٍ أفضَلُ مِنْ مُعَلِّمِهِ. بَلْ مَتَى تَدَرَّبَ إنسانٌ تَدرِيباً كامِلاً، صارَ مِثلَ مُعَلِّمِهِ.

41 ` And why dost thou behold the mote that is in thy brother's eye, and the beam that in thine own eye dost not consider?

«لِماذا تَرَى القَشَّةَ فِي عَينِ أخِيكَ لَكِنَّكَ لا تُلاحِظُ الخَشَبَةَ الكَبِيْرَةَ فِي عَينِكَ أنتَ؟

42 o r how art thou able to say to thy brother, Brother, suffer, I may take out the mote that in thine eye -- thyself the beam in thine own eye not beholding? Hypocrite, take first the beam out of thine own eye, and then thou shalt see clearly to take out the mote that in thy brother's eye.

وَكَيفَ يُمكِنُكَ أنْ تَقُولَ لِأخِيكَ: يا أخِي، دَعنِي أُخرِجُ القَشَّةَ مِنْ عَينِكَ، وَأنتَ لا تَرَى الخَشَبَةَ الَّتي فِي عَينِكَ؟ يا مُنافِقُ! أخرِجْ أوَّلاً الخَشَبَةَ مِنْ عَينِكَ، وَبَعدَ ذَلِكَ سَتَرَى بِوُضُوحٍ لإخراجِ القَشَّةِ مِنْ عَينِ أخِيكَ. نَوعانِ مِنَ الثِّمار

43 ` For there is not a good tree making bad fruit, nor a bad tree making good fruit;

«الشَّجَرَةُ الجَيِّدَةُ لا تَحمِلُ ثَمَراً رَدِيئاً، وَالشَّجَرَةُ الرَّدِيئَةُ لا تَحمِلُ ثَمَراً جَيِّداً.

44 f or each tree from its own fruit is known, for not from thorns do they gather figs, nor from a bramble do they crop a grape.

فَكُلُّ شَجَرَةٍ تُعْرَفُ مِنْ ثَمَرِها. لا يَجني النّاسُ التِّيْنَ مِنَ الأشواكِ، وَلا يَقطِفُونَ العِنَبَ عَنْ شُجَيرَةِ العُلَّيْقِ!

45 ` The good man out of the good treasure of his heart doth bring forth that which good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart doth bring forth that which evil; for out of the abounding of the heart doth his mouth speak.

فَالإنسانُ الصّالِحُ يُخرِجُ ما هُوَ صالِحٌ مِنَ الصَّلاحِ المَخزُونِ فِي قَلبِهِ، وَالإنسانُ الشِّرِّيْرُ يُخرِجُ ما هُوَ شِرِّيرٌ مِنَ الشَّرِّ المَخزُونِ فِي قَلبِهِ. لِأنَّ الفَمَ يَتَكَلَّمُ بِما يَمتَلِئُ بِهِ القَلبُ. نَوعانِ مِنَ النّاس

46 ` And why do ye call me, Lord, Lord, and do not what I say?

«لِماذا تَدعُونَنِي: ‹يا رَبُّ، يا رَبُّ،› وَلا تَفعَلُونَ ما أقُولُ؟

47 E very one who is coming unto me, and is hearing my words, and is doing them, I will shew you to whom he is like;

دَعُونِي أُشَبِّهُ لَكُمْ كُلَّ مَنْ يَأْتِي إلَيَّ، وَيَسمَعُ تَعالِيْمِي وَيُطِيعُها.

48 h e is like to a man building a house, who did dig, and deepen, and laid a foundation upon the rock, and a flood having come, the stream broke forth on that house, and was not able to shake it, for it had been founded upon the rock.

إنَّهُ أشبَهُ بِرَجُلٍ يَبنِي بَيتاً، فَحَفَرَ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ عَمِيقاً، وَوَضَعَ الأساسَ عَلَى الصَّخرِ. وَعِندَما جاءَ الفَيَضانُ، ارتَطَمَ النَّهرُ بِذَلِكَ البَيتِ، لَكِنَّهُ لَمْ يَقدِرْ أنْ يَهُزَّهُ لِأنَّهُ كانَ حَسَنَ البِناءِ.

49 ` And he who heard and did not, is like to a man having builded a house upon the earth, without a foundation, against which the stream brake forth, and immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house became great.'

«أمّا الشَّخصُ الَّذِي يَسمَعُ تَعالِيمِي وَلا يُطِيْعُها، فَهُوَ أشبَهُ بِرَجُلٍ بَنَى بَيْتَهُ عَلَى الأرْضِ دُونَ أساسٍ قَوِيٍّ. فَارتَطَمَ بِهِ النَّهرُ، فَسَقَطَ فَوراً. وَدُمِّرَ البَيتُ تَدمِيراً كامِلاً.»
