لُوقا 10

١ 1 وَبَعْدَ ذلِكَ عَيَّنَ الرَّبُّ أَيْضاً اثْنَيْنِ وَسَبْعِينَ آخَرِينَ، وَأَرْسَلَهُمُ اثْنَيْنِ اثْنَيْنِ، لِيَسْبِقُوهُ إِلَى كُلِّ مَدِينَةٍ وَمَكَانٍ كَانَ عَلَى وَشْكِ الذَّهَابِ إِلَيْهِ.

Now after these things, the Lord appointed seventy others also, and sent them two by two ahead of Him to every town and place where He Himself was about to go.

٢ 2 وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «إِنَّ الْحَصَادَ كَثِيرٌ، وَلكِنَّ الْعُمَّالَ قَلِيلُونَ، فَتَضَرَّعُوا إِلَى رَبِّ الْحَصَادِ أَنْ يَبْعَثَ عُمَّالاً إِلَى حَصَادِهِ.

Then He said to them: “The harvest is indeed great, but the workers are few; therefore pray to the Lord of the harvest that He may send out workers into His harvest.

٣ 3 فَاذْهَبُوا! هَا إِنِّي أُرْسِلُكُمْ كَحُمْلانٍ بَيْنَ ذِئَابٍ.

“Go! Yes, I am sending you out like lambs among wolves.

٤ 4 لَا تَحْمِلُوا صُرَّةَ مَالٍ وَلا كِيسَ زَادٍ وَلا حِذَاءً؛ وَلا تُسَلِّمُوا فِي الطَّرِيقِ عَلَى أَحَدٍ.

Do not carry a purse, nor a knapsack, nor sandals; and greet no one along the road.

٥ 5 وَأَيَّ بَيْتٍ دَخَلْتُمُوهُ، فَقُولُوا أَوَّلاً: سَلامٌ لِهَذَا الْبَيْتِ!

Into whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’

٦ 6 فَإِنْ كَانَ فِي الْبَيْتِ ابْنُ سَلامٍ، يَحِلُّ سَلامُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ. وَإلَّا، فَسَلامُكُمْ يَعُودُ لَكُمْ.

If a son of peace is there, your peace will rest upon him; but if not, it will return to you.

٧ 7 وَانْزِلُوا فِي ذلِكَ الْبَيْتِ تَأْكُلُونَ وَتَشْرَبُونَ مِمَّا عِنْدَهُمْ: لأَنَّ الْعَامِلَ يَسْتَحِقُّ أُجْرَتَهُ. لَا تَنْتَقِلُوا مِنْ بَيْتٍ إِلَى بَيْتٍ.

Remain in that same house, eating and drinking what they offer, because the worker is worthy of his wages. Do not move around from house to house.

٨ 8 وَأَيَّةَ مَدِينَةٍ دَخَلْتُمُوهَا وَقَبِلَكُمْ أَهْلُهَا، فَكُلُوا مِمَّا يُقَدَّمُ لَكُمْ،

“And into whatever town you enter, and they receive you, eat the things that are set before you.

٩ 9 وَاشْفُوا الْمَرْضَى الَّذِينَ فِيهَا، وَقُولُوا لَهُمْ: قَدِ اقْتَرَبَ مِنْكُمْ مَلَكُوتُ اللهِ!

Heal the sick therein and say to them, ‘The Kingdom of God has come near to you.’

١٠ 10 وَأَيَّةَ مَدِينَةٍ دَخَلْتُمُوهَا وَلَمْ يَقْبَلْكُمْ أَهْلُهَا، فَاخْرُجُوا إِلَى شَوَارِعِهَا، وَقُولُوا:

But into whatever town you enter, and they do not receive you, go out into its streets and say:

١١ 11 حَتَّى غُبَارُ مَدِينَتِكُمُ الْعَالِقُ بِأَقْدَامِنَا نَنْفُضُهُ عَلَيْكُمْ، وَلكِنِ اعْلَمُوا هَذَا: أَنَّ مَلَكُوتَ اللهِ قَدِ اقْتَرَبَ!

‘Even the dust of your town that clings to us we wipe off against you. Nonetheless know this, that the Kingdom of God has come near to you.’

١٢ 12 أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ سَدُومَ سَتَكُونُ حَالَتُهَا فِي ذلِكَ الْيَوْمِ أَكْثَرَ احْتِمَالاً مِنْ حَالَةِ تِلْكَ الْمَدِينَةِ.

I say to you that it will be more tolerable in that Day for Sodom than for that town.

١٣ 13 الْوَيْلُ لَكِ يَا كُورَزِينُ! الْوَيْلُ لَكِ يَا بَيْتَ صَيْدَا! فَلَوْ أُجْرِيَ فِي صُورَ وَصَيْدَا مَا أُجْرِيَ فِيكُمَا مِنَ الْمُعْجِزَاتِ، لَتَابَ أَهْلُهُمَا مُنْذُ الْقَدِيمِ لابِسِينَ الْمُسُوحَ قَاعِدِينَ فِي الرَّمَادِ.

“Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! Because if the mighty works that were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

١٤ 14 وَلكِنَّ صُورَ وَصَيْدَا سَتَكُونُ حَالَتُهُمَا فِي الدَّيْنُونَةِ أَكْثَرَ احْتِمَالاً مِنْ حَالَتِكُمَا.

Nevertheless it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the Judgment than for you.

١٥ 15 وَأَنْتِ يَا كَفْرَنَاحُومُ، هَلِ ارْتَفَعْتِ حَتَّى السَّمَاءِ؟ إِنَّكِ إِلَى الْهَاوِيَةِ سَتُهْبَطِينَ! (Hadēs g86)

And you, Capernaum, who are ‘exalted to heaven’, will be brought down to Hades. (Hadēs g86)

١٦ 16 مَنْ يَسْمَعْ لَكُمْ يَسْمَعْ لِي، وَمَنْ يَرْفُضْكُمْ يَرْفُضْنِي؛ وَمَنْ يَرْفُضْنِي يَرْفُضِ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي!»

“He who listens to you listens to me, and he who rejects you rejects me; but he who rejects me rejects Him who sent me!”

١٧ 17 وَبَعْدَئِذٍ رَجَعَ الاثْنَانِ وَالسَّبْعُونَ فَرِحِينَ، وَقَالُوا: «يَا رَبُّ، حَتَّى الشَّيَاطِينُ تَخْضَعُ لَنَا بِاسْمِكَ!»

Then the seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!”

١٨ 18 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «قَدْ رَأَيْتُ الشَّيْطَانَ وَهُوَ يَهْوِي مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مِثْلَ الْبَرْقِ.

So He said to them: “I watched Satan fall like lightning out of heaven.

١٩ 19 وَهَا أَنَا قَدْ أَعْطَيْتُكُمْ سُلْطَةً لِتَدُوسُوا الْحَيَّاتِ وَالْعَقَارِبَ وَقُدْرَةَ الْعَدُوِّ كُلَّهَا، وَلَنْ يُؤْذِيَكُمْ شَيْءٌ أَبَداً.

Take note, I am giving you the authority to trample on snakes and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing at all may harm you.

٢٠ 20 إِنَّمَا لَا تَفْرَحُوا بِأَنَّ الأَرْوَاحَ تَخْضَعُ لَكُمْ، بَلِ افْرَحُوا بِأَنَّ أَسْمَاءَكُمْ قَدْ كُتِبَتْ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ».

However, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you; rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven.”

٢١ 21 فِي تِلْكَ السَّاعَةِ ابْتَهَجَ يَسُوعُ بِالرُّوحِ وَقَالَ: «أَحْمَدُكَ أَيُّهَا الآبُ، رَبَّ السَّمَاءِ وَالأَرْضِ، لأَنَّكَ حَجَبْتَ هذِهِ الأُمُورَ عَنِ الْحُكَمَاءِ وَالْفُهَمَاءِ، وَكَشَفْتَهَا لِلأَطْفَالِ. نَعَمْ، أَيُّهَا الآبُ، لأَنَّهُ هكَذَا حَسُنَ فِي نَظَرِكَ!

In that same hour Jesus exulted in His spirit and said: “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent, and have revealed them to ‘infants’. Yes, Father, because it pleased you to do so.”

٢٢ 22 كُلُّ شَيْءٍ قَدْ سُلِّمَ إِلَيَّ مِنْ قِبَلِ أَبِي، وَلا أَحَدَ يَعْرِفُ مَنْ هُوَ الاِبْنُ إِلّا الآبُ، وَلا مَنْ هُوَ الآبُ إِلّا الاِبْنُ وَمَنْ أَرَادَ الاِبْنُ أَنْ يُعْلِنَهُ لَهُ!»

And turning to the disciples He said: “All things have been entrusted to me by my Father; also, no one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and to whomever the Son may choose to reveal Him.”

٢٣ 23 ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ إِلَى التَّلامِيذِ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ عَلَى حِدَةٍ: «طُوبَى لِلْعُيُونِ الَّتِي تَرَى مَا أَنْتُمْ تَرَوْنَ.

Then turning to His disciples privately He said: “Blessed are the eyes that are seeing the things that you see;

٢٤ 24 فَإِنِّي أَقُولُ لَكُمْ إِنَّ كَثِيرِينَ مِنَ الأَنْبِيَاءِ وَالْمُلُوكِ تَمَنَّوْا أَنْ يَرَوْا مَا تُبْصِرُونَ وَلكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَرَوْا، وَأَنْ يَسْمَعُوا مَا تَسْمَعُونَ وَلكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَسْمَعُوا».

for I say to you that many prophets and kings have desired to see what you are seeing but did not, and to hear what you are hearing but did not.”

٢٥ 25 وَتَصَدَّى لَهُ أَحَدُ عُلَمَاءِ الشَّرِيعَةِ لِيُجَرِّبَهُ، فَقَالَ: «يَا مُعَلِّمُ، مَاذَا أَعْمَلُ لأَرِثَ الْحَيَاةَ الأَبَدِيَّةَ؟» (aiōnios g166)

And then, a certain lawyer stood up to test Him, saying, “Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)

٢٦ 26 فَقَالَ لَهُ: «مَاذَا كُتِبَ فِي الشَّرِيعَةِ؟ وَكَيْفَ تَقْرَؤهَا؟»

So He said to him: “What is written in the Law? How do you read it?”

٢٧ 27 فَأَجَابَ: «أَحِبَّ الرَّبَّ إِلهَكَ بِكُلِّ قَلْبِكَ وَكُلِّ نَفْسِكَ وَكُلِّ قُدْرَتِكَ وَكُلِّ فِكْرِكَ، وَأَحِبَّ قَرِيبَكَ كَنَفْسِكَ».

In answer he said: “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind, and, your neighbor as yourself.”

٢٨ 28 فَقَالَ لَهُ: «جَوَابُكَ صَحِيحٌ. فَإِنْ عَمِلْتَ بِهَذَا، تَحْيَا!»

So He said to him, “You have answered correctly; do this and you will live!”

٢٩ 29 لكِنَّهُ إِذْ كَانَ رَاغِباً فِي تَبْرِيرِ نَفْسِهِ، سَأَلَ يَسُوعَ: «وَمَنْ هُوَ قَرِيبِي؟»

But he, wanting to justify himself, said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”

٣٠ 30 فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِ يَسُوعُ قَائِلا: «كَانَ إِنْسَانٌ نَازِلاً مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ إِلَى أَرِيحَا، فَوَقَعَ بِأَيْدِي لُصُوصٍ، فَانْتَزَعُوا ثِيَابَهُ وَمَالَهُ وَجَرَّحُوهُ، ثُمَّ مَضَوْا وَقَدْ تَرَكُوهُ بَيْنَ حَيٍّ وَمَيْتٍ.

By way of reply Jesus said: “A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and as it chanced he ran into robbers, who after having stripped and wounded him, departed, leaving him half dead.

٣١ 31 وَحَدَثَ أَنَّ كَاهِناً كَانَ نَازِلاً فِي تِلْكَ الطَّرِيقِ، فَرَآهُ وَلكِنَّهُ جَاوَزَهُ إِلَى الْجَانِبِ الآخَرِ.

Now by coincidence a certain priest was going down that road, and when he saw him he passed by on the other side.

٣٢ 32 وَكَذلِكَ مَرَّ أَيْضاً وَاحِدٌ مِنَ اللّاوِيِّينَ، فَلَمَّا وَصَلَ إِلَى ذلِكَ الْمَكَانِ، نَظَرَ إِلَيْهِ، وَلكِنَّهُ جَاوَزَهُ إِلَى الْجَانِبِ الآخَرِ.

So too, a Levite, when he arrived at the place, came and looked, and passed by on the other side.

٣٣ 33 إِلّا أَنَّ سَامِرِيًّا مُسَافِراً جَاءَ إِلَيْهِ، وَلَمَّا رَآهُ، أَشْفَقَ عَلَيْهِ،

But a certain Samaritan, as he traveled, came by there, and upon seeing him was moved with compassion;

٣٤ 34 فَتَقَدَّمَ إِلَيْهِ وَرَبَطَ جِرَاحَهُ بَعْدَمَا صَبَّ عَلَيْهَا زَيْتاً وَخَمْراً. ثُمَّ أَرْكَبَهُ عَلَى دَابَّتِهِ وَأَوْصَلَهُ إِلَى الْفُنْدُقِ وَاعْتَنَى بِهِ.

and going to him he bound up his wounds, applying oil and wine. Then he placed him on his own mount, brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

٣٥ 35 وَعِنْدَ مُغَادَرَتِهِ الْفُنْدُقَ فِي الْيَوْمِ التَّالِي، أَخْرَجَ دِينَارَيْنِ وَدَفَعَهُمَا إِلَى صَاحِبِ الْفُنْدُقِ، وَقَالَ لَهُ: اعْتَنِ بِهِ! وَمَهْمَا تُنْفِقْ أَكْثَرَ، فَإِنِّي أَرُدُّهُ لَكَ عِنْدَ رُجُوعِي.

On the next day, when he departed, he took out two denarii, gave them to the innkeeper, and said to him, ‘Take care of him; and should you spend more, I will repay you when I return.’

٣٦ 36 فَأَيُّ هؤُلاءِ الثَّلاثَةِ يَبْدُو لَكَ قَرِيباً لِلَّذِي وَقَعَ بِأَيْدِي اللُّصُوصِ؟»

So which of these three, would you say, was ‘neighbor’ to him who ran into the robbers?”

٣٧ 37 فَأَجَابَ: «إِنَّهُ الَّذِي عَامَلَهُ بِالرَّحْمَةِ!» فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «اذْهَبْ، وَاعْمَلْ أَنْتَ هكَذَا!»

He said, “The one who showed mercy on him.” So Jesus said to him, “Go and do likewise!”

٣٨ 38 وَبَيْنَمَا هُمْ فِي الطَّرِيقِ، دَخَلَ إِحْدَى الْقُرَى، فَاسْتَقْبَلَتْهُ امْرَأَةٌ اسْمُهَا مَرْثَا فِي بَيْتِهَا.

Now it happened as they traveled that He entered a certain village; and a certain woman named Martha welcomed Him into her house.

٣٩ 39 وَكَانَ لَهَا أُخْتٌ اسْمُهَا مَرْيَمُ، جَلَسَتْ عِنْدَ قَدَمَيْ يَسُوعَ تَسْمَعُ كَلِمَتَهُ.

And she had a sister called Mary, who actually sat at Jesus' feet listening to His words.

٤٠ 40 أَمَّا مَرْثَا فَكَانَتْ مُنْهَمِكَةً بِشُؤُونِ الْخِدْمَةِ الْكَثِيرَةِ. فَأَقْبَلَتْ وَقَالَتْ: «يَا رَبُّ، أَمَا تُبَالِي بِأَنَّ أُخْتِي قَدْ تَرَكَتْنِي أَخْدِمُ وَحْدِي؟ فَقُلْ لَهَا أَنْ تُسَاعِدَنِي!»

Well Martha was distracted with much serving; so coming up she said: “Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Do please tell her to help me!”

٤١ 41 وَلكِنَّ يَسُوعَ رَدَّ عَلَيْهَا قَائِلاً: «مَرْثَا، مَرْثَا! أَنْتِ مُهْتَمَّةٌ وَقَلِقَةٌ لأُمُورٍ كَثِيرَةٍ.

But in answer Jesus said to her: “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and agitated about many things,

٤٢ 42 وَلكِنَّ الْحَاجَةَ هِيَ إِلَى وَاحِدٍ، وَمَرْيَمُ قَدِ اخْتَارَتِ النَّصِيبَ الصَّالِحَ الَّذِي لَنْ يُؤْخَذَ مِنْهَا!»

but only one is needed. However, Mary has chosen the good part, which will not be taken away from her.”

Jesus at the House of Martha and Mary
