مَتَّى 20

١ 1 «فَإِنَّ مَلَكُوتَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ يُشْبِهُ رَجُلًا رَبَّ بَيْتٍ خَرَجَ مَعَ ٱلصُّبْحِ لِيَسْتَأْجِرَ فَعَلَةً لِكَرْمِهِ،

“For the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who was the master of a household, who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard.

٢ 2 فَٱتَّفَقَ مَعَ ٱلْفَعَلَةِ عَلَى دِينَارٍ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ، وَأَرْسَلَهُمْ إِلَى كَرْمِهِ.

When he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard.

٣ 3 ثُمَّ خَرَجَ نَحْوَ ٱلسَّاعَةِ ٱلثَّالِثَةِ وَرَأَى آخَرِينَ قِيَامًا فِي ٱلسُّوقِ بَطَّالِينَ،

He went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace.

٤ 4 فَقَالَ لَهُمُ: ٱذْهَبُوا أَنْتُمْ أَيْضًا إِلَى ٱلْكَرْمِ فَأُعْطِيَكُمْ مَا يَحِقُّ لَكُمْ. فَمَضَوْا.

He said to them, ‘You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.’ So they went their way.

٥ 5 وَخَرَجَ أَيْضًا نَحْوَ ٱلسَّاعَةِ ٱلسَّادِسَةِ وَٱلتَّاسِعَةِ وَفَعَلَ كَذَلِكَ.

Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did likewise.

٦ 6 ثُمَّ نَحْوَ ٱلسَّاعَةِ ٱلْحَادِيَةَ عَشْرَةَ خَرَجَ وَوَجَدَ آخَرِينَ قِيَامًا بَطَّالِينَ، فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: لِمَاذَا وَقَفْتُمْ هَهُنَا كُلَّ ٱلنَّهَارِ بَطَّالِينَ؟

About the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing idle. He said to them, ‘Why do you stand here all day idle?’

٧ 7 قَالُوا لَهُ: لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَسْتَأْجِرْنَا أَحَدٌ. قَالَ لَهُمُ: ٱذْهَبُوا أَنْتُمْ أَيْضًا إِلَى ٱلْكَرْمِ فَتَأْخُذُوا مَا يَحِقُّ لَكُمْ.

“They said to him, ‘Because no one has hired us.’ “He said to them, ‘You also go into the vineyard, and you will receive whatever is right.’

٨ 8 فَلَمَّا كَانَ ٱلْمَسَاءُ قَالَ صَاحِبُ ٱلْكَرْمِ لِوَكِيلِهِ: ٱدْعُ ٱلْفَعَلَةَ وَأَعْطِهِمُ ٱلْأُجْرَةَ مُبْتَدِئًا مِنَ ٱلْآخِرِينَ إِلَى ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ.

“When evening had come, the lord of the vineyard said to his manager, ‘Call the laborers and pay them their wages, beginning from the last to the first.’

٩ 9 فَجَاءَ أَصْحَابُ ٱلسَّاعَةِ ٱلْحَادِيَةَ عَشْرَةَ وَأَخَذُوا دِينَارًا دِينَارًا.

“When those who were hired at about the eleventh hour came, they each received a denarius.

١٠ 10 فَلَمَّا جَاءَ ٱلْأَوَّلُونَ ظَنُّوا أَنَّهُمْ يَأْخُذُونَ أَكْثَرَ. فَأَخَذُوا هُمْ أَيْضًا دِينَارًا دِينَارًا.

When the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise each received a denarius.

١١ 11 وَفِيمَا هُمْ يَأْخُذُونَ تَذَمَّرُوا عَلَى رَبِّ ٱلْبَيْتِ

When they received it, they murmured against the master of the household,

١٢ 12 قَائِلِينَ: هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلْآخِرُونَ عَمِلُوا سَاعَةً وَاحِدَةً، وَقَدْ سَاوَيْتَهُمْ بِنَا نَحْنُ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱحْتَمَلْنَا ثِقَلَ ٱلنَّهَارِ وَٱلْحَرَّ!

saying, ‘These last have spent one hour, and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat!’

١٣ 13 فَأجَابَ وَقَالَ لِوَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ: يا صَاحِبُ، مَا ظَلَمْتُكَ! أَمَا اتَّفَقْتَ مَعِي عَلَى دِينَارٍ؟

“But he answered one of them, ‘Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Didn’t you agree with me for a denarius?

١٤ 14 فَخُذِ ٱلَّذِي لَكَ وَٱذْهَبْ، فَإِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أُعْطِيَ هَذَا ٱلْأَخِيرَ مِثْلَكَ.

Take that which is yours, and go your way. It is my desire to give to this last just as much as to you.

١٥ 15 أَوَ مَا يَحِلُّ لِي أَنْ أَفْعَلَ مَا أُرِيدُ بِمَا لِي؟ أَمْ عَيْنُكَ شِرِّيرَةٌ لِأَنِّي أَنَا صَالِحٌ؟

Isn’t it lawful for me to do what I want to with what I own? Or is your eye evil, because I am good?’

١٦ 16 هَكَذَا يَكُونُ ٱلْآخِرُونَ أَوَّلِينَ وَٱلْأَوَّلُونَ آخِرِينَ، لِأَنَّ كَثِيرِينَ يُدْعَوْنَ وَقَلِيلِينَ يُنْتَخَبُونَ».

So the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few are chosen.”

١٧ 17 وَفِيمَا كَانَ يَسُوعُ صَاعِدًا إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ أَخَذَ ٱلِٱثْنَيْ عَشَرَ تِلْمِيذًا عَلَى ٱنْفِرَادٍ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ:

As Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside, and on the way he said to them,

١٨ 18 «هَا نَحْنُ صَاعِدُونَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَٱبْنُ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ يُسَلَّمُ إِلَى رُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَٱلْكَتَبَةِ، فَيَحْكُمُونَ عَلَيْهِ بِٱلْمَوْتِ،

“Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death,

١٩ 19 وَيُسَلِّمُونَهُ إِلَى ٱلْأُمَمِ لِكَيْ يَهْزَأُوا بِهِ وَيَجْلِدُوهُ وَيَصْلِبُوهُ، وَفِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّالِثِ يَقُومُ».

and will hand him over to the Gentiles to mock, to scourge, and to crucify; and the third day he will be raised up.”

٢٠ 20 حِينَئِذٍ تَقَدَّمَتْ إِلَيْهِ أُمُّ ٱبْنَيْ زَبْدِي مَعَ ٱبْنَيْهَا، وَسَجَدَتْ وَطَلَبَتْ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا.

Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to him with her sons, kneeling and asking a certain thing of him.

٢١ 21 فَقَالَ لَهَا: «مَاذَا تُرِيدِينَ؟». قَالَتْ لَهُ: «قُلْ أَنْ يَجْلِسَ ٱبْنَايَ هَذَانِ وَاحِدٌ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ وَٱلْآخَرُ عَنِ ٱلْيَسَارِ فِي مَلَكُوتِكَ».

He said to her, “What do you want?” She said to him, “Command that these, my two sons, may sit, one on your right hand and one on your left hand, in your Kingdom.”

٢٢ 22 فَأَجَابَ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ: «لَسْتُمَا تَعْلَمَانِ مَا تَطْلُبَانِ. أَتَسْتَطِيعَانِ أَنْ تَشْرَبَا ٱلْكَأْسَ ٱلَّتِي سَوْفَ أَشْرَبُهَا أَنَا، وَأَنْ تَصْطَبِغَا بِٱلصِّبْغَةِ ٱلَّتِي أَصْطَبِغُ بِهَا أَنَا؟». قَالَا لَهُ: «نَسْتَطِيعُ».

But Jesus answered, “You don’t know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?” They said to him, “We are able.”

٢٣ 23 فَقَالَ لَهُمَا: «أَمَّا كَأْسِي فَتَشْرَبَانِهَا، وَبِالصِّبْغَةِ ٱلَّتِي أَصْطَبِغُ بِهَا أَنَا تَصْطَبِغَانِ. وَأَمَّا ٱلْجُلُوسُ عَنْ يَمِينِي وَعَنْ يَسَارِي فَلَيْسَ لِي أَنْ أُعْطِيَهُ إِلَّا لِلَّذِينَ أُعِدَّ لَهُمْ مِنْ أَبِي».

He said to them, “You will indeed drink my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with; but to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give, but it is for whom it has been prepared by my Father.”

٢٤ 24 فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ ٱلْعَشَرَةُ ٱغْتَاظُوا مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلْأَخَوَيْنِ.

When the ten heard it, they were indignant with the two brothers.

٢٥ 25 فَدَعَاهُمْ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ: «أَنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ رُؤَسَاءَ ٱلْأُمَمِ يَسُودُونَهُمْ، وَٱلْعُظَمَاءَ يَتَسَلَّطُونَ عَلَيْهِمْ.

But Jesus summoned them, and said, “You know that the rulers of the nations lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.

٢٦ 26 فَلَا يَكُونُ هَكَذَا فِيكُمْ. بَلْ مَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَكُونَ فِيكُمْ عَظِيمًا فَلْيَكُنْ لَكُمْ خَادِمًا،

It shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant.

٢٧ 27 وَمَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَكُونَ فِيكُمْ أَوَّلًا فَلْيَكُنْ لَكُمْ عَبْدًا،

Whoever desires to be first among you shall be your bondservant,

٢٨ 28 كَمَا أَنَّ ٱبْنَ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ لَمْ يَأْتِ لِيُخْدَمَ بَلْ لِيَخْدِمَ، وَلِيَبْذِلَ نَفْسَهُ فِدْيَةً عَنْ كَثِيرِينَ».

even as the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

٢٩ 29 وَفِيمَا هُمْ خَارِجُونَ مِنْ أَرِيحَا تَبِعَهُ جَمْعٌ كَثِيرٌ،

As they went out from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.

٣٠ 30 وَإِذَا أَعْمَيَانِ جَالِسَانِ عَلَى ٱلطَّرِيقِ. فَلَمَّا سَمِعَا أَنَّ يَسُوعَ مُجْتَازٌ صَرَخَا قَائِلَيْنِ: «ٱرْحَمْنَا ياسَيِّدُ، يا ٱبْنَ دَاوُدَ!».

Behold, two blind men sitting by the road, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, “Lord, have mercy on us, you son of David!”

٣١ 31 فَٱنْتَهَرَهُمَا ٱلْجَمْعُ لِيَسْكُتَا، فَكَانَا يَصْرُخَانِ أَكْثَرَ قَائِلَيْنِ: «ٱرْحَمْنَا ياسَيِّدُ، يا ٱبْنَ دَاوُدَ!».

The multitude rebuked them, telling them that they should be quiet, but they cried out even more, “Lord, have mercy on us, you son of David!”

٣٢ 32 فَوَقَفَ يَسُوعُ وَنَادَاهُمَا وَقَالَ: «مَاذَا تُرِيدَانِ أَنْ أَفْعَلَ بِكُمَا؟».

Jesus stood still and called them, and asked, “What do you want me to do for you?”

٣٣ 33 قَالَا لَهُ: «يَا سَيِّدُ، أَنْ تَنْفَتِحَ أَعْيُنُنَا!».

They told him, “Lord, that our eyes may be opened.”

٣٤ 34 فَتَحَنَّنَ يَسُوعُ وَلَمَسَ أَعْيُنَهُمَا، فَلِلْوَقْتِ أَبْصَرَتْ أَعْيُنُهُمَا فَتَبِعَاهُ.

Jesus, being moved with compassion, touched their eyes; and immediately their eyes received their sight, and they followed him.
