مَتَّى 11
| وَلَمَّا أَكْمَلَ يَسُوعُ أَمْرَهُ لِتَلَامِيذِهِ ٱلِٱثْنَيْ عَشَرَ، ٱنْصَرَفَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ لِيُعَلِّمَ وَيَكْرِزَ فِي مُدُنِهِمْ. | ١ 1 |
When Jesus had finished giving instructions to his twelve disciples, he left to go and teach and speak publicly in the nearby towns.
| أَمَّا يُوحَنَّا فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ فِي ٱلسِّجْنِ بِأَعْمَالِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، أَرْسَلَ ٱثْنَيْنِ مِنْ تَلَامِيذِهِ، | ٢ 2 |
While John was in prison he heard what the Messiah was doing, so he sent his disciples
| وَقَالَ لَهُ: «أَنْتَ هُوَ ٱلْآتِي أَمْ نَنْتَظِرُ آخَرَ؟». | ٣ 3 |
to ask on his behalf, “Are you the one we were expecting to come, or should we continue to look for someone else?”
| فَأَجَابَ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ لَهُمَا: «ٱذْهَبَا وَأَخْبِرَا يُوحَنَّا بِمَا تَسْمَعَانِ وَتَنْظُرَانِ: | ٤ 4 |
Jesus answered them, “Go back and tell John what you hear and what you see.
| اَلْعُمْيُ يُبْصِرُونَ، وَٱلْعُرْجُ يَمْشُونَ، وَٱلْبُرْصُ يُطَهَّرُونَ، وَٱلصُّمُّ يَسْمَعُونَ، وَٱلْمَوْتَى يَقُومُونَ، وَٱلْمَسَاكِينُ يُبَشَّرُونَ. | ٥ 5 |
The blind can see, the crippled can walk, the lepers are healed, the deaf can hear, the dead are resurrected, and the poor hear the good news.
| وَطُوبَى لِمَنْ لَا يَعْثُرُ فِيَّ». | ٦ 6 |
Blessed are those who don't reject me!”
| وَبَيْنَمَا ذَهَبَ هَذَانِ ٱبْتَدَأَ يَسُوعُ يَقُولُ لِلْجُمُوعِ عَنْ يُوحَنَّا: «مَاذَا خَرَجْتُمْ إِلَى ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ لِتَنْظُرُوا؟ أَقَصَبَةً تُحَرِّكُهَا ٱلرِّيحُ؟ | ٧ 7 |
As they left, Jesus began to talk to the crowds about John. “What were you expecting to see when you went out into the desert? A reed tossed about by the wind?
| لَكِنْ مَاذَا خَرَجْتُمْ لِتَنْظُرُوا؟ أَإِنْسَانًا لَابِسًا ثِيَابًا نَاعِمَةً؟ هُوَذَا ٱلَّذِينَ يَلْبَسُونَ ٱلثِّيَابَ ٱلنَّاعِمَةَ هُمْ فِي بُيُوتِ ٱلْمُلُوكِ. | ٨ 8 |
So what did you go to see? A man dressed in fancy clothes? People dressed like that live in kings' palaces.
| لَكِنْ مَاذَا خَرَجْتُمْ لِتَنْظُرُوا؟ أَنَبِيًّا؟ نَعَمْ، أَقُولُ لَكُمْ، وَأَفْضَلَ مِنْ نَبِيٍّ. | ٩ 9 |
So what did you go to see then? A prophet? Yes, and I tell you he is much more than a prophet!
| فَإِنَّ هَذَا هُوَ ٱلَّذِي كُتِبَ عَنْهُ: هَا أَنَا أُرْسِلُ أَمَامَ وَجْهِكَ مَلَاكِي ٱلَّذِي يُهَيِّئُ طَرِيقَكَ قُدَّامَكَ. | ١٠ 10 |
He's the one this Scripture was written about: ‘I'm sending my messenger on ahead of you. He will prepare your way for you.’
| اَلْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: لَمْ يَقُمْ بَيْنَ ٱلْمَوْلُودِينَ مِنَ ٱلنِّسَاءِ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ يُوحَنَّا ٱلْمَعْمَدَانِ، وَلَكِنَّ ٱلْأَصْغَرَ فِي مَلَكُوتِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ أَعْظَمُ مِنْهُ. | ١١ 11 |
I tell you the truth, that among humanity there's no one greater than John the Baptist, but even the least important in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he is.
| وَمِنْ أَيَّامِ يُوحَنَّا ٱلْمَعْمَدَانِ إِلَى ٱلْآنَ مَلَكُوتُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ يُغْصَبُ، وَٱلْغَاصِبُونَ يَخْتَطِفُونَهُ. | ١٢ 12 |
From the time of John the Baptist up till now the kingdom of heaven continues to be under attack and violent people are trying to seize it by force.
| لِأَنَّ جَمِيعَ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَٱلنَّامُوسَ إِلَى يُوحَنَّا تَنَبَّأُوا. | ١٣ 13 |
For all the prophets and the law spoke for God until John came.
| وَإِنْ أَرَدْتُمْ أَنْ تَقْبَلُوا، فَهَذَا هُوَ إِيلِيَّا ٱلْمُزْمِعُ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ. | ١٤ 14 |
If you're prepared to believe it, he is Elijah, the one who was expected to come.
| مَنْ لَهُ أُذُنَانِ لِلسَّمْعِ فَلْيَسْمَعْ. | ١٥ 15 |
Anybody with ears should be listening!
| «وَبِمَنْ أُشَبِّهُ هَذَا ٱلْجِيلَ؟ يُشْبِهُ أَوْلَادًا جَالِسِينَ فِي ٱلْأَسْوَاقِ يُنَادُونَ إِلَى أَصْحَابِهِمْ | ١٦ 16 |
What shall I compare this generation to? It's like children sitting in the market places shouting to each other,
| وَيَقُولُونَ: زَمَّرْنَا لَكُمْ فَلَمْ تَرْقُصُوا! نُحْنَا لَكُمْ فَلَمْ تَلْطِمُوا! | ١٧ 17 |
‘We played the flute for you and you didn't dance; we sang sad songs and you didn't cry.’
| لِأَنَّهُ جَاءَ يُوحَنَّا لَا يَأْكُلُ وَلَا يَشْرَبُ، فَيَقُولُونَ: فِيهِ شَيْطَانٌ. | ١٨ 18 |
John didn't come feasting and drinking, so people say, ‘He's devil-possessed!’
| جَاءَ ٱبْنُ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ يَأْكُلُ وَيَشْرَبُ، فَيَقُولُونَ: هُوَذَا إِنْسَانٌ أَكُولٌ وَشِرِّيبُ خَمْرٍ، مُحِبٌّ لِلْعَشَّارِينَ وَٱلْخُطَاةِ. وَٱلْحِكْمَةُ تَبَرَّرَتْ مِنْ بَنِيهَا». | ١٩ 19 |
On the other hand the Son of man came and did feast and drink, and people say, ‘Look, he's greedy and drinks too much; he's a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ But wisdom is shown to be right by what it does…”
| حِينَئِذٍ ٱبْتَدَأَ يُوَبِّخُ ٱلْمُدُنَ ٱلَّتِي صُنِعَتْ فِيهَا أَكْثَرُ قُوَّاتِهِ لِأَنَّهَا لَمْ تَتُبْ: | ٢٠ 20 |
Then he began to reprimand the towns where he'd done most of his miracles because they had not repented.
| «وَيْلٌ لَكِ يا كُورَزِينُ! وَيْلٌ لَكِ يا بَيْتَ صَيْدَا! لِأَنَّهُ لَوْ صُنِعَتْ فِي صُورَ وَصَيْدَاءَ ٱلْقُوَّاتُ ٱلْمَصْنُوعَةُ فِيكُمَا، لَتَابَتَا قَدِيمًا فِي ٱلْمُسُوحِ وَٱلرَّمَادِ. | ٢١ 21 |
“Shame on you, Korazin! Shame on you, Bethsaida! If the miracles had been performed in Tyre and Sidon which happened among you, they would have repented in sackcloth and ashes long ago.
| وَلَكِنْ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ صُورَ وَصَيْدَاءَ تَكُونُ لَهُمَا حَالَةٌ أَكْثَرُ ٱحْتِمَالًا يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ مِمَّا لَكُمَا. | ٢٢ 22 |
But I tell you that on the Day of Judgment it will be better for Tyre and Sidon than it will for you!
| وَأَنْتِ ياكَفْرَنَاحُومَ ٱلْمُرْتَفِعَةَ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَاءِ! سَتُهْبَطِينَ إِلَى ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ. لِأَنَّهُ لَوْ صُنِعَتْ فِي سَدُومَ ٱلْقُوَّاتُ ٱلْمَصْنُوعَةُ فِيكِ لَبَقِيَتْ إِلَى ٱلْيَوْمِ. (Hadēs g86) | ٢٣ 23 |
And what about you, Capernaum? Will you be exalted to heaven? No, you'll go down to Hades! If the miracles had been performed in Sodom which happened among you, Sodom would still be here today. (Hadēs g86)
| وَلَكِنْ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ أَرْضَ سَدُومَ تَكُونُ لَهَا حَالَةٌ أَكْثَرُ ٱحْتِمَالًا يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ مِمَّا لَكِ». | ٢٤ 24 |
But I tell you that on the Day of Judgment it will be better for Sodom than it will for you!”
| فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ أَجَابَ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ: «أَحْمَدُكَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْآبُ رَبُّ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ، لِأَنَّكَ أَخْفَيْتَ هَذِهِ عَنِ ٱلْحُكَمَاءِ وَٱلْفُهَمَاءِ وَأَعْلَنْتَهَا لِلْأَطْفَالِ. | ٢٥ 25 |
Then Jesus prayed, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for you've hidden these things from the clever and sophisticated. Instead you've revealed them to ordinary people.
| نَعَمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْآبُ، لِأَنْ هَكَذَا صَارَتِ ٱلْمَسَرَّةُ أَمَامَكَ. | ٢٦ 26 |
Yes, Father, you were pleased to do this!
| كُلُّ شَيْءٍ قَدْ دُفِعَ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَبِي، وَلَيْسَ أَحَدٌ يَعْرِفُ ٱلِٱبْنَ إِلَّا ٱلْآبُ، وَلَا أَحَدٌ يَعْرِفُ ٱلْآبَ إِلَّا ٱلِٱبْنُ وَمَنْ أَرَادَ ٱلِٱبْنُ أَنْ يُعْلِنَ لَهُ. | ٢٧ 27 |
Everything has been entrusted to me by my Father, and no one really understands the Son, except the Father, and no one really understands the Father, except the Son, and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.
| تَعَالَوْا إِلَيَّ يا جَمِيعَ ٱلْمُتْعَبِينَ وَٱلثَّقِيلِي ٱلْأَحْمَالِ، وَأَنَا أُرِيحُكُمْ. | ٢٨ 28 |
Come to me, all of you who struggle and who are burdened down. I will give you rest.
| اِحْمِلُوا نِيرِي عَلَيْكُمْ وَتَعَلَّمُوا مِنِّي، لِأَنِّي وَدِيعٌ وَمُتَوَاضِعُ ٱلْقَلْبِ، فَتَجِدُوا رَاحَةً لِنُفُوسِكُمْ. | ٢٩ 29 |
Accept my yoke, and learn from me. For I am kind and I have a humble heart, and in me you will find the rest you need.
| لِأَنَّ نِيرِي هَيِّنٌ وَحِمْلِي خَفِيفٌ». | ٣٠ 30 |
For my yoke is gentle, and my burden is light.”
