لُوقا 20

١ 1 وَفِي أَحَدِ تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ إِذْ كَانَ يُعَلِّمُ ٱلشَّعْبَ فِي ٱلْهَيْكَلِ وَيُبَشِّرُ، وَقَفَ رُؤَسَاءُ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَٱلْكَتَبَةُ مَعَ ٱلشُّيُوخِ،

On one of the days while he was teaching the people in the Temple and preaching the gospel, there came up the priest and the Scribes with the elders.

٢ 2 وَكَلَّمُوُه قَائِلِينَ: «قُلْ لَنَا: بِأَيِّ سُلْطَانٍ تَفْعَلُ هَذَا؟ أَوْ مَنْ هُوَ ٱلَّذِي أَعْطَاكَ هَذَا ٱلسُّلْطَانَ؟».

They spoke to him saying. "Tell us by what authority you are doing these things? Who is it that gave you this authority?"

٣ 3 فَأَجَابَ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «وَأَنَا أَيْضًا أَسْأَلُكُمْ كَلِمَةً وَاحِدَةً، فَقُولُوا لِي:

"I will also ask you a question," he replied.

٤ 4 مَعْمُودِيَّةُ يُوحَنَّا: مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ كَانَتْ أَمْ مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ؟».

"Was John’s baptism from heaven or from man?"

٥ 5 فَتَآمَرُوا فِيمَا بَيْنَهُمْ قَائِلِينَ: «إِنْ قُلْنَا: مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، يَقُولُ: فَلِمَاذَا لَمْ تُؤْمِنُوا بِهِ؟

So they reasoned among themselves. "If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will ask us, ‘Why did you not believe in him?’

٦ 6 وَإِنْ قُلْنَا: مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ، فَجَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ يَرْجُمُونَنَا، لِأَنَّهُمْ وَاثِقُونَ بِأَنَّ يُوحَنَّا نَبِيٌّ».

"And if we say, ‘From man,’ all the people will stone us, for they were persuaded that Johnwas a prophet."

٧ 7 فَأَجَابُوا أَنَّهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ مِنْ أَيْنَ.

So they answered that they did not know whence it was.

٨ 8 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «وَلَا أَنَا أَقُولُ لَكُمْ بِأَيِّ سُلْطَانٍ أَفْعَلُ هَذَا».

"Nor will I tell you," Jesus answered, "by whose authority I do these things."

٩ 9 وَٱبْتَدَأَ يَقُولُ لِلشَّعْبِ هَذَا ٱلْمَثَلَ: «إِنْسَانٌ غَرَسَ كَرْمًا وَسَلَّمَهُ إِلَى كَرَّامِينَ وَسَافَرَ زَمَانًا طَوِيلًا.

Then he began to tell the people this parable. "There was a man who planted a vineyard, and let it out to vine-dressers, and went to another country for a long time.

١٠ 10 وَفِي ٱلْوَقْتِ أَرْسَلَ إِلَى ٱلْكَرَّامِينَ عَبْدًا لِكَيْ يُعْطُوهُ مِنْ ثَمَرِ ٱلْكَرْمِ، فَجَلَدَهُ ٱلْكَرَّامُونَ، وَأَرْسَلُوهُ فَارِغًا.

"At harvest-time he sent a slave to the vine-dressers, to ask them to give him a share of the crop; but the vine-dresser beat him and sent him away empty-handed.

١١ 11 فَعَادَ وَأَرْسَلَ عَبْدًا آخَرَ، فَجَلَدُوا ذَلِكَ أَيْضًا وَأَهَانُوهُ، وَأَرْسَلُوهُ فَارِغًا.

"Then he sent another slave; and him also they flogged and handled shamefully and sent him away empty-handed.

١٢ 12 ثُمَّ عَادَ فَأَرْسَلَ ثَالِثًا، فَجَرَّحُوا هَذَا أَيْضًا وَأَخْرَجُوهُ.

"Then he sent yet a third, and him to they wounded and threw him out.

١٣ 13 فَقَالَ صَاحِبُ ٱلْكَرْمِ: مَاذَا أَفْعَلُ؟ أُرْسِلُ ٱبْنِي ٱلْحَبِيبَ، لَعَلَّهُمْ إِذَا رَأَوْهُ يَهَابُونَ!

"Then the master of the vineyard said. "‘What shall I do? I will send my beloved Son; it may be that they will reverence him.’

١٤ 14 فَلَمَّا رَآهُ ٱلْكَرَّامُونَ تَآمَرُوا فِيمَا بَيْنَهُمْ قَائِلِينَ: هَذَا هُوَ ٱلْوَارِثُ! هَلُمُّوا نَقْتُلْهُ لِكَيْ يَصِيرَ لَنَا ٱلْمِيرَاثُ!

"But when the vine-dressers saw him, they reasoned together, saying. ‘This is the heir. Let us kill him so that the inheritance may be ours.’

١٥ 15 فَأَخْرَجُوهُ خَارِجَ ٱلْكَرْمِ وَقَتَلُوهُ. فَمَاذَا يَفْعَلُ بِهِمْ صَاحِبُ ٱلْكَرْمِ؟

"So they turned him out of the vineyard and killed him. "What will the master of the vineyard do to them?

١٦ 16 يَأْتِي وَيُهْلِكُ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلْكَرَّامِينَ وَيُعْطِي ٱلْكَرْمَ لِآخَرِينَ». فَلَمَّا سَمِعُوا قَالُوا: «حَاشَا!».

"He will come and destroy those vine-dressers, and will give the vineyard to others."

١٧ 17 فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهِمْ وَقَالَ: «إِذًا مَا هُوَ هَذَا ٱلْمَكْتُوبُ: ٱلْحَجَرُ ٱلَّذِي رَفَضَهُ ٱلْبَنَّاؤُونَ هُوَ قَدْ صَارَ رَأْسَ ٱلزَّاوِيَةِ؟

He looked at them and said. "Then what does this scripture mean. "The stone which the builders rejected, the same was made the head of the corner?

١٨ 18 كُلُّ مَنْ يَسْقُطُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ ٱلْحَجَرِ يَتَرَضَّضُ، وَمَنْ سَقَطَ هُوَ عَلَيْهِ يَسْحَقُهُ!».

"Every one who falls on that stone will be broken in pieces; but whoever it falls upon will be scattered as dust."

١٩ 19 فَطَلَبَ رُؤَسَاءُ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَٱلْكَتَبَةُ أَنْ يُلْقُوا ٱلْأَيَادِيَ عَلَيْهِ فِي تِلْكَ ٱلسَّاعَةِ، وَلَكِنَّهُمْ خَافُوا ٱلشَّعْبَ، لِأَنَّهُمْ عَرَفُوا أَنَّهُ قَالَ هَذَا ٱلْمَثَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ.

At this the Scribes and the high priests were seeking to arrest him; only they were afraid of the people. For they perceived that he had referred to them in this parable.

٢٠ 20 فَرَاقَبُوهُ وَأَرْسَلُوا جَوَاسِيسَ يَتَرَاءَوْنَ أَنَّهُمْ أَبْرَارٌ لِكَيْ يُمْسِكُوهُ بِكَلِمَةٍ، حَتَّى يُسَلِّمُوهُ إِلَى حُكْمِ ٱلْوَالِي وَسُلْطَانِهِ.

So they watched him, and sent spies who pretended to be honest men, in order to seize on his speech, and to deliver him up to authority and jurisdiction of the governor.

٢١ 21 فَسَأَلُوهُ قَائِلِينَ: «يَا مُعَلِّمُ، نَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ بِٱلِٱسْتِقَامَةِ تَتَكَلَّمُ وَتُعَلِّمُ، وَلَا تَقْبَلُ ٱلْوُجُوهَ، بَلْ بِٱلْحَقِّ تُعَلِّمُ طَرِيقَ ٱللهِ.

So they put a question to him saying. "Rabbi, we know that you speak and teach what is right, and that you do not regard any man’s person, but teach the way of God honestly.

٢٢ 22 أَيَجُوزُ لَنَا أَنْ نُعْطِيَ جِزْيَةً لِقَيْصَرَ أَمْ لَا؟».

"Is it lawful for us to pay tribute to Caesar or not?"

٢٣ 23 فَشَعَرَ بِمَكْرِهِمْ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «لِمَاذَا تُجَرِّبُونَنِي؟

But he perceived their knavery and answered.

٢٤ 24 أَرُونِي دِينَارًا. لِمَنِ ٱلصُّورَةُ وَٱلْكِتَابَةُ؟». فَأَجَابُوا وَقَالوُا: «لِقَيْصَرَ».

"Show me a shilling. Whose image and superscription does it bear?" "Caesar’s," they replied.

٢٥ 25 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَعْطُوا إِذًا مَا لِقَيْصَرَ لِقَيْصَرَ وَمَا لِلهِ للهِ».

"Then give to Caesar what belongs to him," he said, "to God give what is God’s."

٢٦ 26 فَلَمْ يَقْدِرُوا أَنْ يُمْسِكُوهُ بِكَلِمَةٍ قُدَّامَ ٱلشَّعْبِ، وَتَعَجَّبُوا مِنْ جَوَابِهِ وَسَكَتُوا.

So they could not lay hold of his sayings before the people; and marveling at his answer, they held their peace.

٢٧ 27 وَحَضَرَ قَوْمٌ مِنَ ٱلصَّدُّوقِيِّينَ، ٱلَّذِينَ يُقَاوِمُونَ أَمْرَ ٱلْقِيَامَةِ، وَسَأَلُوهُ

Next came some of the Sadducees who deny that there is resurrection, and they asked him.

٢٨ 28 قَائِلِيِنَ: «يَا مُعَلِّمُ، كَتَبَ لَنَا مُوسَى: إِنْ مَاتَ لِأَحَدٍ أَخٌ وَلَهُ ٱمْرَأَةٌ، وَمَاتَ بِغَيْرِ وَلَدٍ، يَأْخُذُ أَخُوهُ ٱلْمَرْأَةَ وَيُقِيمُ نَسْلًا لِأَخِيهِ.

"Teacher, Moses wrote a law for us that if a man’s brother should die, but leave no children, his brother should take up his wife and raise up his children for his brother.

٢٩ 29 فَكَانَ سَبْعَةُ إِخْوَةٍ. وَأَخَذَ ٱلْأَوَّلُ ٱمْرَأَةً وَمَاتَ بِغَيْرِ وَلَدٍ،

"Now there were seven brothers. the first took a wife and died childless,

٣٠ 30 فَأَخَذَ ٱلثَّانِي ٱلْمَرْأَةَ وَمَاتَ بِغَيْرِ وَلَدٍ،

"and the second and third took her,

٣١ 31 ثُمَّ أَخَذَهَا ٱلثَّالِثُ، وَهَكَذَا ٱلسَّبْعَةُ. وَلَمْ يَتْرُكُوا وَلَدًا وَمَاتُوا.

"and likewise all the seven, but left no children when they died.

٣٢ 32 وَآخِرَ ٱلْكُلِّ مَاتَتِ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ أَيْضًا.

"Last of all the woman died too.

٣٣ 33 فَفِي ٱلْقِيَامَةِ، لِمَنْ مِنْهُمْ تَكُونُ زَوْجَةً؟ لِأَنَّهَا كَانَتْ زَوْجَةً لِلسَّبْعَةِ!».

"In the resurrection whose wife shall she be? For they all seven had her as wife."

٣٤ 34 فَأَجَابَ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «أَبْنَاءُ هَذَا ٱلدَّهْرِ يُزَوِّجُونَ وَيُزَوَّجُونَ، (aiōn g165)

"People in this world marry and are given in marriage," said Jesus, (aiōn g165)

٣٥ 35 وَلَكِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ حُسِبُوا أَهْلًا لِلْحُصُولِ عَلَى ذَلِكَ ٱلدَّهْرِ وَٱلْقِيَامَةِ مِنَ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ، لَا يُزَوِّجُونَ وَلَا يُزَوَّجُونَ، (aiōn g165)

"but those who are counted worthy to reach that world and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage. (aiōn g165)

٣٦ 36 إِذْ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ أَنْ يَمُوتُوا أَيْضًا، لِأَنَّهُمْ مِثْلُ ٱلْمَلَائِكَةِ، وَهُمْ أَبْنَاءُ ٱللهِ، إِذْ هُمْ أَبْنَاءُ ٱلْقِيَامَةِ.

"For indeed they cannot die any more; they are equal to the angels, and through being sons of the resurrection are sons of God.

٣٧ 37 وَأَمَّا أَنَّ ٱلْمَوْتَى يَقُومُونَ، فَقَدْ دَلَّ عَلَيْهِ مُوسَى أَيْضًا فِي أَمْرِ ٱلْعُلَّيْقَةِ كَمَا يَقُولُ: اَلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِلَهُ إِسْحَاقَ وَإِلَهُ يَعْقُوبَ.

"But that the dead are raised, even Moses clearly implied in the passage about the Bush, when he calls the Lord. "The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob.

٣٨ 38 وَلَيْسَ هُوَ إِلَهَ أَمْوَاتٍ بَلْ إِلَهُ أَحْيَاءٍ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْجَمِيعَ عِنْدَهُ أَحْيَاءٌ».

"Now he is not the God of the dead, but of the living; for to him all are alive.’

٣٩ 39 فَأجَابَ قَوْمٌ مِنَ ٱلْكَتَبَةِ وَقَالوا: «يَا مُعَلِّمُ، حَسَنًا قُلْتَ!».

Then some of the Scribes said, "Teacher, that was nobly said,"

٤٠ 40 وَلَمْ يَتَجَاسَرُوا أَيْضًا أَنْ يَسْأَلُوهُ عَنْ شَيْءٍ.

for they no longer dared to ask him any questions.

٤١ 41 وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «كَيْفَ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّ ٱلْمَسِيحَ ٱبْنُ دَاوُدَ؟

"How is it," he asked them, "that they say that Christ is David’s son?

٤٢ 42 وَدَاوُدُ نَفْسُهُ يَقُولُ فِي كِتَابِ ٱلْمَزَامِيرِ: قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِرَبِّي: ٱجْلِسْ عَنْ يَمِينِي

"for David himself say’s in the book of the Psalms, "The Lord said to my Lord. Sit at my right hand,

٤٣ 43 حَتَّى أَضَعَ أَعْدَاءَكَ مَوْطِئًا لِقَدَمَيْكَ.

Until I make thy enemies the footstool at thy feet.

٤٤ 44 فَإِذًا دَاوُدُ يَدْعُوهُ رَبًّا. فَكَيْفَ يَكُونُ ٱبْنَهُ؟».

"David therefore himself calls him ‘Lord,’ and how can he be his son?"

٤٥ 45 وَفِيمَا كَانَ جَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ يَسْمَعُونَ قَالَ لِتَلَامِيذِهِ:

Then, in the hearing of all the people, he said to his disciples.

٤٦ 46 «ٱحْذَرُوا مِنَ ٱلْكَتَبَةِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَرْغَبُونَ ٱلْمَشْيَ بِٱلطَّيَالِسَةِ، وَيُحِبُّونَ ٱلتَّحِيَّاتِ فِي ٱلْأَسْوَاقِ، وَٱلْمَجَالِسَ ٱلْأُولَى فِي ٱلْمَجَامِعِ، وَٱلْمُتَّكَآتِ ٱلْأُولَى فِي ٱلْوَلَائِمِ.

"Beware of the Scribes who like to walk about in long robes, and dote on salutations in the marketplaces, and on securing the front seats in the synagogues and the best places at banquets;

٤٧ 47 اَلَّذِينَ يَأْكُلُونَ بُيُوتَ ٱلْأَرَامِلِ، وَلِعِلَّةٍ يُطِيلُونَ ٱلصَّلَوَاتِ. هَؤُلَاءِ يَأْخُذُونَ دَيْنُونَةً أَعْظَمَ!».

"but they devour widows’ houses and for a pretense make long prayers. These shall receive severer condemnation."

Jesus Preaches to the Multitude
