مَتَّى 10

١ 1 ثُمَّ دَعَا تَلَامِيذَهُ ٱلِٱثْنَيْ عَشَرَ وَأَعْطَاهُمْ سُلْطَانًا عَلَى أَرْوَاحٍ نَجِسَةٍ حَتَّى يُخْرِجُوهَا، وَيَشْفُوا كُلَّ مَرَضٍ وَكُلَّ ضُعْفٍ.

And calling His twelve disciples to Him, Jesus gave them authority over unclean spirits, so that they could drive them out and heal every disease and sickness.

٢ 2 وَأَمَّا أَسْمَاءُ ٱلِٱثْنَيْ عَشَرَ رَسُولًا فَهِيَ هَذِهِ: اَلْأَوَّلُ سِمْعَانُ ٱلَّذِي يُقَالُ لَهُ بُطْرُسُ، وَأَنْدَرَاوُسُ أَخُوهُ. يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ زَبْدِي، وَيُوحَنَّا أَخُوهُ.

These are the names of the twelve apostles: first Simon, called Peter, and his brother Andrew; James son of Zebedee, and his brother John;

٣ 3 فِيلُبُّسُ، وَبَرْثُولَمَاوُسُ. تُومَا، وَمَتَّى ٱلْعَشَّارُ. يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ حَلْفَى، وَلَبَّاوُسُ ٱلْمُلَقَّبُ تَدَّاوُسَ.

Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;

٤ 4 سِمْعَانُ ٱلْقَانَوِيُّ، وَيَهُوذَا ٱلْإِسْخَرْيُوطِيُّ ٱلَّذِي أَسْلَمَهُ.

Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus.

٥ 5 هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلِٱثْنَا عَشَرَ أَرْسَلَهُمْ يَسُوعُ وَأَوْصَاهُمْ قَائِلًا: «إِلَى طَرِيقِ أُمَمٍ لَا تَمْضُوا، وَإِلَى مَدِينَةٍ لِلسَّامِرِيِّينَ لَا تَدْخُلُوا.

These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: “Do not go onto the road of the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans.

٦ 6 بَلِ ٱذْهَبُوا بِٱلْحَرِيِّ إِلَى خِرَافِ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلضَّالَّةِ.

Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel.

٧ 7 وَفِيمَا أَنْتُمْ ذَاهِبُونَ ٱكْرِزُوا قَائِلِينَ: إِنَّهُ قَدِ ٱقْتَرَبَ مَلَكُوتُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ.

As you go, preach this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven is near.’

٨ 8 اِشْفُوا مَرْضَى. طَهِّرُوا بُرْصًا. أَقِيمُوا مَوْتَى. أَخْرِجُوا شَيَاطِينَ. مَجَّانًا أَخَذْتُمْ، مَجَّانًا أَعْطُوا.

Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.

٩ 9 لَا تَقْتَنُوا ذَهَبًا وَلَا فِضَّةً وَلَا نُحَاسًا فِي مَنَاطِقِكُمْ،

Do not carry any gold or silver or copper in your belts.

١٠ 10 وَلَا مِزْوَدًا لِلطَّرِيقِ وَلَا ثَوْبَيْنِ وَلَا أَحْذِيَةً وَلَا عَصًا، لِأَنَّ ٱلْفَاعِلَ مُسْتَحِقٌّ طَعَامَهُ.

Take no bag for the road, or second tunic, or sandals, or staff; for the worker is worthy of his provisions.

١١ 11 «وَأَيَّةُ مَدِينَةٍ أَوْ قَرْيَةٍ دَخَلْتُمُوهَا فَٱفْحَصُوا مَنْ فِيهَا مُسْتَحِقٌّ، وَأَقِيمُوا هُنَاكَ حَتَّى تَخْرُجُوا.

Whatever town or village you enter, find out who is worthy there and stay at his house until you move on.

١٢ 12 وَحِينَ تَدْخُلُونَ ٱلْبَيْتَ سَلِّمُوا عَلَيْهِ،

As you enter the home, greet its occupants.

١٣ 13 فَإِنْ كَانَ ٱلْبَيْتُ مُسْتَحِقًّا فَلْيَأْتِ سَلَامُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ، وَلَكِنْ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ مُسْتَحِقًّا فَلْيَرْجِعْ سَلَامُكُمْ إِلَيْكُمْ.

If the home is worthy, let your peace rest on it; but if it is not, let your peace return to you.

١٤ 14 وَمَنْ لَا يَقْبَلُكُمْ وَلَا يَسْمَعُ كَلَامَكُمْ فَٱخْرُجُوا خَارِجًا مِنْ ذَلِكَ ٱلْبَيْتِ أَوْ مِنْ تِلْكَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، وَٱنْفُضُوا غُبَارَ أَرْجُلِكُمْ.

And if anyone will not welcome you or heed your words, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that home or town.

١٥ 15 اَلْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: سَتَكُونُ لِأَرْضِ سَدُومَ وَعَمُورَةَ يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ حَالَةٌ أَكْثَرُ ٱحْتِمَالًا مِمَّا لِتِلْكَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ.

Truly I tell you, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town.

١٦ 16 «هَا أَنَا أُرْسِلُكُمْ كَغَنَمٍ فِي وَسْطِ ذِئَابٍ، فَكُونُوا حُكَمَاءَ كَٱلْحَيَّاتِ وَبُسَطَاءَ كَٱلْحَمَامِ.

Behold, I am sending you out like sheep among wolves; therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.

١٧ 17 وَلَكِنِ ٱحْذَرُوا مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ، لِأَنَّهُمْ سَيُسْلِمُونَكُمْ إِلَى مَجَالِسَ، وَفِي مَجَامِعِهِمْ يَجْلِدُونَكُمْ.

But beware of men; for they will hand you over to their councils and flog you in their synagogues.

١٨ 18 وَتُسَاقُونَ أَمَامَ وُلَاةٍ وَمُلُوكٍ مِنْ أَجْلِي شَهَادَةً لَهُمْ وَلِلْأُمَمِ.

On My account, you will be brought before governors and kings as witnesses to them and to the Gentiles.

١٩ 19 فَمَتَى أَسْلَمُوكُمْ فَلَا تَهْتَمُّوا كَيْفَ أَوْ بِمَا تَتَكَلَّمُونَ، لِأَنَّكُمْ تُعْطَوْنَ فِي تِلْكَ ٱلسَّاعَةِ مَا تَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِهِ،

But when they hand you over, do not worry about how to respond or what to say. In that hour you will be given what to say.

٢٠ 20 لِأَنْ لَسْتُمْ أَنْتُمُ ٱلْمُتَكَلِّمِينَ بَلْ رُوحُ أَبِيكُمُ ٱلَّذِي يَتَكَلَّمُ فِيكُمْ.

For it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.

٢١ 21 وَسَيُسْلِمُ ٱلْأَخُ أَخَاهُ إِلَى ٱلْمَوْتِ، وَٱلْأَبُ وَلَدَهُ، وَيَقُومُ ٱلْأَوْلَادُ عَلَى وَالِدِيهِمْ وَيَقْتُلُونَهُمْ،

Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; children will rise against their parents and have them put to death.

٢٢ 22 وَتَكُونُونَ مُبْغَضِينَ مِنَ ٱلْجَمِيعِ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱسْمِي. وَلَكِنِ ٱلَّذِي يَصْبِرُ إِلَى ٱلْمُنْتَهَى فَهَذَا يَخْلُصُ.

You will be hated by everyone because of My name, but the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.

٢٣ 23 وَمَتَى طَرَدُوكُمْ فِي هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ فَٱهْرُبُوا إِلَى ٱلْأُخْرَى. فَإِنِّي ٱلْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: لَا تُكَمِّلُونَ مُدُنَ إِسْرَائِيلَ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ ٱبْنُ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ.

When they persecute you in one town, flee to the next. Truly I tell you, you will not reach all the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.

٢٤ 24 «لَيْسَ ٱلتِّلْمِيذُ أَفْضَلَ مِنَ ٱلْمُعَلِّمِ، وَلَا ٱلْعَبْدُ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ سَيِّدِهِ.

A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master.

٢٥ 25 يَكْفِي ٱلتِّلْمِيذَ أَنْ يَكُونَ كَمُعَلِّمِهِ، وَٱلْعَبْدَ كَسَيِّدِهِ. إِنْ كَانُوا قَدْ لَقَّبُوا رَبَّ ٱلْبَيْتِ بَعْلَزَبُولَ، فَكَمْ بِٱلْحَرِيِّ أَهْلَ بَيْتِهِ!

It is enough for a disciple to be like his teacher, and a servant like his master. If the head of the house has been called Beelzebul, how much more the members of his household!

٢٦ 26 فَلَا تَخَافُوهُمْ. لِأَنْ لَيْسَ مَكْتُومٌ لَنْ يُسْتَعْلَنَ، وَلَا خَفِيٌّ لَنْ يُعْرَفَ.

So do not be afraid of them. For there is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, and nothing hidden that will not be made known.

٢٧ 27 اَلَّذِي أَقُولُهُ لَكُمْ فِي ٱلظُّلْمَةِ قُولُوهُ فِي ٱلنُّورِ، وَٱلَّذِي تَسْمَعُونَهُ فِي ٱلْأُذُنِ نَادُوا بِهِ عَلَى ٱلسُّطُوحِ،

What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the housetops.

٢٨ 28 وَلَا تَخَافُوا مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَقْتُلُونَ ٱلْجَسَدَ وَلَكِنَّ ٱلنَّفْسَ لَا يَقْدِرُونَ أَنْ يَقْتُلُوهَا، بَلْ خَافُوا بِٱلْحَرِيِّ مِنَ ٱلَّذِي يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يُهْلِكَ ٱلنَّفْسَ وَٱلْجَسَدَ كِلَيْهِمَا فِي جَهَنَّمَ. (Geenna g1067)

Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Instead, fear the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell. (Geenna g1067)

٢٩ 29 أَلَيْسَ عُصْفُورَانِ يُبَاعَانِ بِفَلْسٍ؟ وَوَاحِدٌ مِنْهُمَا لَا يَسْقُطُ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ بِدُونِ أَبِيكُمْ.

Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father.

٣٠ 30 وَأَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَحَتَّى شُعُورُ رُؤُوسِكُمْ جَمِيعُهَا مُحْصَاةٌ.

And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

٣١ 31 فَلَا تَخَافُوا! أَنْتُمْ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ عَصَافِيرَ كَثِيرَةٍ!

So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

٣٢ 32 فَكُلُّ مَنْ يَعْتَرِفُ بِي قُدَّامَ ٱلنَّاسِ أَعْتَرِفُ أَنَا أَيْضًا بِهِ قُدَّامَ أَبِي ٱلَّذِي فِي ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ،

Therefore everyone who confesses Me before men, I will also confess him before My Father in heaven.

٣٣ 33 وَلَكِنْ مَنْ يُنْكِرُنِي قُدَّامَ ٱلنَّاسِ أُنْكِرُهُ أَنَا أَيْضًا قُدَّامَ أَبِي ٱلَّذِي فِي ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ.

But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father in heaven.

٣٤ 34 «لَا تَظُنُّوا أَنِّي جِئْتُ لِأُلْقِيَ سَلَامًا عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ. مَا جِئْتُ لِأُلْقِيَ سَلَامًا بَلْ سَيْفًا.

Do not assume that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.

٣٥ 35 فَإِنِّي جِئْتُ لِأُفَرِّقَ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ ضِدَّ أَبِيهِ، وَٱلِٱبْنَةَ ضِدَّ أُمِّهَا، وَٱلْكَنَّةَ ضِدَّ حَمَاتِهَا.

For I have come to turn ‘a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.

٣٦ 36 وَأَعْدَاءُ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ أَهْلُ بَيْتِهِ.

A man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’

٣٧ 37 مَنْ أَحَبَّ أَبًا أَوْ أُمًّا أَكْثَرَ مِنِّي فَلَا يَسْتَحِقُّنِي، وَمَنْ أَحَبَّ ٱبْنًا أَوِ ٱبْنَةً أَكْثَرَ مِنِّي فَلَا يَسْتَحِقُّنِي،

Anyone who loves his father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me;

٣٨ 38 وَمَنْ لَا يَأْخُذُ صَلِيبَهُ وَيَتْبَعُنِي فَلَا يَسْتَحِقُّنِي.

and anyone who does not take up his cross and follow Me is not worthy of Me.

٣٩ 39 مَنْ وَجَدَ حَيَاتَهُ يُضِيعُهَا، وَمَنْ أَضَاعَ حَيَاتَهُ مِنْ أَجْلِي يَجِدُهَا.

Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.

٤٠ 40 مَنْ يَقْبَلُكُمْ يَقْبَلُنِي، وَمَنْ يَقْبَلُنِي يَقْبَلُ ٱلَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي.

He who receives you receives Me, and he who receives Me receives the One who sent Me.

٤١ 41 مَنْ يَقْبَلُ نَبِيًّا بِٱسْمِ نَبِيٍّ فَأَجْرَ نَبِيٍّ يَأْخُذُ، وَمَنْ يَقْبَلُ بَارًّا بِٱسْمِ بَارٍّ فَأَجْرَ بَارٍّ يَأْخُذُ،

Whoever receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and whoever receives a righteous man because he is a righteous man will receive a righteous man’s reward.

٤٢ 42 وَمَنْ سَقَى أَحَدَ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلصِّغَارِ كَأْسَ مَاءٍ بَارِدٍ فَقَطْ بِٱسْمِ تِلْمِيذٍ، فَٱلْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّهُ لَا يُضِيعُ أَجْرَهُ».

And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is My disciple, truly I tell you, he will never lose his reward.”
