لُوقا 11
| وَكَانَ يُصَلِّي فِي أَحَدِ الأَمَاكِنِ، فَلَمَّا انْتَهَى، قَالَ لَهُ أَحَدُ تَلامِيذِهِ: «يَا رَبُّ، عَلِّمْنَا أَنْ نُصَلِّيَ كَمَا عَلَّمَ يُوحَنَّا تَلامِيذَهُ». | ١ 1 |
One day Jesus was somewhere praying. When he finished [praying], one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us [what to say when] we [(exc)] pray, as John [the Baptizer] taught his disciples!”
| فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «عِنْدَمَا تُصَلُّونَ، قُولُوا: أَبَانَا الَّذِي فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ! لِيَتَقَدَّسِ اسْمُكَ، لِيَأْتِ مَلَكُوتُكَ. لِتَكُنْ مَشِيئَتُكَ كَمَا فِي السَّمَاءِ كَذلِكَ عَلَى الأَرْضِ. | ٢ 2 |
He said to them, “When you pray, say [things like this]: ‘Father, we want you [(sg)] [MTY] to be honored/revered. [We want people to let you(sg)] [MTY, MET] rule over their lives.
| خُبْزَنَا كَفَافَنَا أَعْطِنَا كُلَّ يَوْمٍ؛ | ٣ 3 |
Give us [(exc)] each day the food [SYN] that we need.
| وَاغْفِرْ لَنَا خَطَايَانَا، لأَنَّنَا نَحْنُ أَيْضاً نَغْفِرُ لِكُلِّ مَنْ يُذْنِبُ إِلَيْنَا؛ وَلا تُدْخِلْنَا فِي تَجْرِبَةٍ لكِنْ نَجِّنَا مِنَ الشِّرِّيرِ!» | ٤ 4 |
Forgive us [for] the wrong things that we have done, because we forgive people for the wrong things that they do to us. Do not let us do wrong things when we are tempted {[someone or something] tempts us}.’”
| ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُمْ: «مَنْ مِنْكُمْ يَكُونُ لَهُ صَدِيقٌ، فَيَذْهَبُ إِلَيْهِ فِي مُنْتَصَفِ اللَّيْلِ وَيَقُولُ لَهُ: يَا صَدِيقِي، أَقْرِضْنِي ثَلاثَةَ أَرْغِفَةٍ، | ٥ 5 |
Then he said to them, “Suppose that one of you goes to the house of a friend at midnight. Suppose that you [(sg) stand outside and] call out to him, ‘My friend, please lend me three buns!
| فَقَدْ جَاءَنِي صَدِيقٌ مِنْ سَفَرٍ، وَلَيْسَ عِنْدِي مَا أُقَدِّمُ لَهُ! | ٦ 6 |
Another friend of mine who is traveling has just arrived [at my house], but I have no food [ready] to give to him!’
| لكِنَّ صَدِيقَهُ يُجِيبُهُ مِنَ الدَّاخِلِ: لَا تُزْعِجْنِي! فَقَدْ أَقْفَلْتُ الْبَابَ، وَهَا أَنَا وَأَوْلادِي فِي الْفِرَاشِ. لَا أَقْدِرُ أَنْ أَقُومَ وَأُعْطِيَكَ! | ٧ 7 |
Suppose that he answers you from inside [his house], ‘Do not bother me! The door has been locked {[We(exc)] have locked the door} and all my family are in bed. [So] I cannot get up and give you [(sg)] anything!’
| أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنْ كَانَ لَا يَقُومُ وَيُعْطِيهِ لأَنَّهُ صَدِيقُهُ، فَلابُدَّ أَنْ يَقُومَ وَيُعْطِيَهُ قَدْرَ مَا يَحْتَاجُ إِلَيْهِ، لأَنَّهُ أَلَحَّ فِي الطَّلَبِ. | ٨ 8 |
I will tell you that even if he does not [want to] get up and give you [any food], to avoid being ashamed [for not helping you] because you are his friend (OR, if without being ashamed you continue asking him to do that), he certainly will get up and give you whatever you need.
| فَإِنِّي أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: اسْأَلُوا، تُعْطَوْا؛ اطْلُبُوا، تَجِدُوا؛ اقْرَعُوا، يُفْتَحْ لَكُمْ: | ٩ 9 |
So I tell you this: Keep asking [God for what you need]. If you do that, [he] will give it to you [(pl)]. Confidently keep expecting [God to give you the things that you need], and [he] will give them to you [MET]. [It will be like] looking for what you need and finding it. Keep on [praying urgently to God. Then God will answer you. It will be like] knocking [on a door] so that [God] will open [the way] for you [to get what you pray for].
| فَإِنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ يَسْأَلْ يَنَلْ، وَمَنْ يَسْعَ يَجِدْ، وَمَنْ يَقْرَعْ يُفْتَحْ لَهُ. | ١٠ 10 |
Remember that [God] will give things to everyone who continues to ask [him for them]. [He] will give things to whoever confidently keeps asking. [He] will open [the way] for people [to get the things that they keep urgently praying for].
| فَأَيُّ أَبٍ مِنْكُمْ يَطْلُبُ مِنْهُ ابْنُهُ خُبْزاً فَيُعْطِيهِ حَجَراً؟ أَوْ يَطْلُبُ سَمَكَةً فَيُعْطِيهِ بَدَلَ السَّمَكَةِ حَيَّةً؟ | ١١ 11 |
If one of you had a son who asked you [(sg)] for a fish [to eat], (you [(sg)] certainly would not give him a [poisonous] snake instead!/would you give him a [poisonous] snake instead?) [RHQ]
| أَوْ يَطْلُبُ بَيْضَةً، فَيُعْطِيهِ عَقْرَباً؟ | ١٢ 12 |
If he asked you for an egg, (you [(sg)] certainly would not give him a scorpion!/would you give him a scorpion?) [RHQ]
| فَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ، أَنْتُمُ الأَشْرَارُ، تَعْرِفُونَ أَنْ تُعْطُوا أَوْلادَكُمْ عَطَايَا جَيِّدَةً، فَكَمْ بِالأَحْرَى الآبُ، الَّذِي مِنَ السَّمَاءِ يَهَبُ الرُّوحَ الْقُدُسَ لِمَنْ يَسْأَلُونَهُ؟» | ١٣ 13 |
Even though you people are evil, you know how to give good things to your children. So your Father in heaven will certainly [give good things] to those who ask him, [including] giving the Holy Spirit, [who is the best gift].”
| وَكَانَ يَطْرُدُ شَيْطَاناً (مِن رَجُلٍ) كَانَ ذلِكَ الشَّيْطَانُ قَدْ أَخْرَسَهُ. فَلَمَّا طُرِدَ الشَّيْطَانُ، نَطَقَ الأَخْرَسُ. فَتَعَجَّبَتِ الجُمُوعُ. | ١٤ 14 |
[One day there was a man there who, because a demon controlled him] [MTY], was unable to speak. After [Jesus expelled] the demon, the man [began to] talk. [Most of] the people [there] were amazed.
| وَلكِنَّ بَعْضاً مِنْهُمْ قَالُوا: «إِنَّمَا يَطْرُدُ الشَّيَاطِينَ بِبَعْلَزَبُولَ رَئِيسِ الشَّيَاطِينِ». | ١٥ 15 |
But some of them said, “It is Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons, who enables [this man] to expel demons!”
| وَطَلَبَ مِنْهُ آخَرُونَ، لِيُجَرِّبُوهُ، مُعْجِزَةً مِنَ السَّمَاءِ. | ١٦ 16 |
Other [people there] asked Jesus to perform a miracle [to prove (he was the Messiah/that he had come] from God) [MTY/EUP]. They wanted to trap him [into not being able to perform a miracle or into doing something ridiculous].
| وَلكِنَّهُ عَلِمَ أَفْكَارَهُمْ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «كُلُّ مَمْلَكَةٍ تَنْقَسِمُ عَلَى ذَاتِهَا تَخْرَبُ، وَكُلُّ بَيْتٍ (يَنْقَسِمُ) عَلَى بَيْتٍ يَسْقُطُ. | ١٧ 17 |
But Jesus knew what they were thinking. So he said to them, “If [the people in] one nation fight against each other, their nation will be destroyed {[they] will destroy their nation}. If [the people in] [MTY] one house are divided, they will cease to remain as one [family].
| فَإِنْ كَانَ الشَّيْطَانُ كَذلِكَ قَدِ انْقَسَمَ عَلَى ذَاتِهِ، فَكَيْفَ تَصْمُدُ مَمْلَكَتُهُ؟ فَقَدْ قُلْتُمْ إِنِّي أَطْرُدُ الشَّيَاطِينَ بِبَعْلَزَبُولَ. | ١٨ 18 |
[Similarly], if Satan [and his demons] were fighting against each other, (his rule over them would [certainly] not last!/how would his rule over them last?) [RHQ] [I say this] because you are saying that I am expelling demons by [the power of] the ruler of [his own demons]
| وَلكِنْ، إِنْ كُنْتُ أَنَا أَطْرُدُ الشَّيَاطِينَ بِبَعْلَزَبُولَ، فَأَبْنَاؤُكُمْ بِمَنْ يَطْرُدُونَهُمْ؟ لِذلِكَ هُمْ يَحْكُمُونَ عَلَيْكُمْ. | ١٩ 19 |
Furthermore, if [it is true that] Satan enables me to expel demons, [is it also true that] your disciples [who] expel demons [do so] by [Satan’s] power [RHQ]? [No, that is not true]. So they will show that you [are not thinking logically].
| أَمَّا إِذَا كُنْتُ أَطْرُدُ الشَّيَاطِينَ بِإِصْبَعِ اللهِ، فَقَدْ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْكُمْ مَلَكُوتُ اللهِ. | ٢٠ 20 |
But because it is by the power [MTY] of God [that I expel demons], I am showing you [that the power of] God to [MET] rule [people’s lives] has come to you.”
| عِنْدَمَا يَحْرُسُ الْقَوِيُّ بَيْتَهُ وَهُوَ بِكَامِلِ سِلاحِهِ، تَكُونُ أَمْتِعَتُهُ فِي مَأْمَنٍ. | ٢١ 21 |
Then, [to show that by expelling evil spirits he was making it clear that he was much more powerful than Satan, Jesus said] [MET], “When a strong man who has many weapons guards his own house, no one can steal the things in his house.
| وَلكِنْ عِنْدَمَا يَغْزُوهُ مَنْ هُوَ أَقْوَى مِنْهُ فَيَغْلِبُهُ، فَإِنَّهُ يُجَرِّدُهُ مِنْ كَامِلِ سِلاحِهِ الَّذِي اعْتَمَدَ عَلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ يُوَزِّعُ غَنَائِمَهُ. | ٢٢ 22 |
But when someone else who is stronger attacks that man and subdues him, he is able to take away the weapons in which the man trusted. Then he can take from that man’s house anything he [wants to].
| مَنْ لَيْسَ مَعِي، فَهُوَ ضِدِّي؛ وَمَنْ لَا يَجْمَعُ مَعِي، فَهُوَ يُفَرِّقُ. | ٢٣ 23 |
[No one can be neutral]. Those who do not help me [are opposing] me, and those who do not gather [people to become] my [disciples] are causing [those people] to go away [from me].”
| بَعْدَ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ الرُّوحُ النَّجِسُ مِنَ الإِنْسَانِ، يَهِيمُ فِي الأَمَاكِنِ الْقَاحِلَةِ طَلَباً لِلرَّاحَةِ، وَإِذْ لَا يَجِدُ، يَقُولُ: سَأَرْجِعُ إِلَى بَيْتِي الَّذِي غَادَرْتُهُ! | ٢٤ 24 |
[Then Jesus said this]: “[Sometimes when] an evil spirit leaves someone, it wanders around in desolate areas seeking [someone in whom it can] rest. If it does not find anyone, it says [to itself], ‘I will return to the person in whom I used to live!’
| وَعِنْدَمَا يَأْتِي، يَجِدُهُ مَكْنُوساً مُزَيَّناً. | ٢٥ 25 |
So it goes back and finds that [the Spirit of God is not in control of that person’s life. The person’s life is like] a house that has been {that someone has} swept clean and everything put {put everything} in order, [but a house that is empty].
| فَيَذْهَبُ وَيَصْطَحِبُ سَبْعَةَ أَرْوَاحٍ أُخَرَ أَرْدَأَ مِنْهُ، فَتَدْخُلُ ذلِكَ الإِنْسَانَ وَتَسْكُنُهُ، فَتَصِيرُ الْحَالَةُ الأَخِيرَةُ لِذلِكَ الإِنْسَانِ أَرْدَأَ مِنَ الأُولَى!» | ٢٦ 26 |
Then [this evil spirit] goes and gets seven other spirits that are [even] more evil than it is. They [all] enter [that person] and [begin] living there. [So], [although] that person’s condition [was bad] before, it became much worse.”
| وَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ يَتَكَلَّمُ بِهَذَا، رَفَعَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ بَيْنِ الْجَمْعِ صَوْتَهَا قَائِلَةً لَهُ: «طُوبَى لِلْبَطْنِ الَّذِي حَمَلَكَ، وَالثَّدْيَيْنِ اللَّذَيْنِ رَضَعْتَهُمَا!» | ٢٧ 27 |
When Jesus said that, a woman who was listening called out [to him], “[God is] pleased with the woman who gave birth to you [(sg)] and let you nurse [at her breasts]!”
| إِلّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «بَلْ طُوبَى لِلَّذِينَ يَسْمَعُونَ كَلِمَةَ اللهِ وَيَعْمَلُونَ بِها». | ٢٨ 28 |
But he replied, “God [is] much more pleased with those who hear his message and obey it!”
| وَإِذْ كَانَتِ الْجُمُوعُ تَزْدَحِمُ عَلَيْهِ، أَخَذَ يَقُولُ: «هَذَا الْجِيلُ جِيلٌ شِرِّيرٌ، يَطْلُبُ مُعْجِزَةً وَلَنْ يُعْطَى مُعْجِزَةً إِلّا مُعْجِزَةَ يُونَانَ. | ٢٩ 29 |
When the group of people around [Jesus] got larger, he said, “[Many of] you people who have been observing my ministry are evil. You want [me to perform] a miracle [to prove that I have come from God], but the only miracle that [I] will perform for you is one [like happened to] Jonah.
| فَإِنَّهُ كَمَا كَانَ يُونَانُ آيَةً لأَهْلِ نِينَوَى، فَهكَذَا أَيْضاً يَكُونُ ابْنُ الإِنْسَانِ لِهَذَا الْجِيلِ. | ٣٠ 30 |
[After Jonah was inside a huge fish for three days, God performed] a miracle [to restore] Jonah. [Jonah then went and testified about that] to the people in Nineveh [city. God will perform] a similar miracle [for me], the one who came from heaven. [When you people have seen that miracle, you will believe my message].
| إِنَّ مَلِكَةَ الْجَنُوبِ سَتَقُومُ فِي الدَّيْنُونَةِ مَعَ هَذَا الْجِيلِ وَتَدِينُهُ لأَنَّهَا جَاءَتْ مِنْ أَقَاصِي الأَرْضِ لِتَسْمَعَ حِكْمَةَ سُلَيْمَانَ. وَهَا هُنَا أَعْظَمُ مِنْ سُلَيْمَانَ! | ٣١ 31 |
[Long ago the] queen from [Sheba], [far] south [of Israel, traveled a long distance to hear Solomon speak many] wise things. But now [I, a man] who [is much] greater [and wiser] than Solomon, am here, [but you have not listened to what I have told you]. Therefore, at the time when [God] judges [all people], the queen from [Sheba] will stand there, [along] with you people, and will condemn you.
| وَأَهْلُ نِينَوَى سَيَقِفُونَ فِي الدَّيْنُونَةِ مَعَ هَذَا الْجِيلِ وَيَدِينُونَهُ: لأَنَّهُمْ تَابُوا لَدَى وَعْظِ يُونَانَ لَهُمْ. وَهَا هُنَا أَعْظَمُ مِنْ يُونَانَ. | ٣٢ 32 |
The people who lived in Nineveh [city] turned from their sinful ways when Jonah preached to them. But now I, who am greater than Jonah, have come [and preached to you], [but you have not turned from your sinful ways]. Therefore, at the time when God judges [all people], the people who lived in Nineveh will stand there with you and condemn you.”
| لَا أَحَدَ يُشْعِلُ مِصْبَاحاً وَيَضَعُهُ فِي مَكَانٍ مَخْفِيٍّ أَوْ تَحْتَ الْمِكْيَالِ، بَلْ يَرْفَعُهُ عَلَى الْمَنَارَةِ لِيَرَى الدَّاخِلُونَ النُّورَ. | ٣٣ 33 |
[Then, to show them that they did not need more miracles, but that they needed only to understand better what he had already told them, he said to them] [MET], “People who light a lamp do not then hide it, or put it under a basket. Instead, they put it on a lampstand so that those who enter [their house] can see [things from] its light. [Similarly, I have not concealed God’s truth. I have revealed it to you].
| عَيْنُكَ هِيَ مِصْبَاحُ الْجَسَدِ: إِذَا كَانَتْ عَيْنُكَ سَلِيمَةً، يَكُونُ جَسَدُكَ كُلُّهُ مُنَوَّراً؛ أَمَّا إِذَا كَانَتْ عَيْنُكَ شِرِّيرَةً، فَيَكُونُ جَسَدُكَ أَيْضاً مُظْلِماً. | ٣٤ 34 |
Your eyes [MET] are like a lamp for your body, because they enable you to see things. If your eyes are healthy, you are able to see everything well [MET]. [Similarly, if you(sg) accept my teaching, you will be able to know all that God wants you to know]. But if your eyes are bad, you are not able to see anything. It is like being in darkness [MET]. [And similarly, if you(pl) do not accept what I teach, you will not be able to know all the things that God wants you to know].
| فَتَنَبَّهْ إِذَنْ لِئَلّا يَكُونَ النُّورُ الَّذِي فِيكَ ظَلاماً. | ٣٥ 35 |
Therefore, [you(pl) do not need to see more miracles. You need to think carefully about what I have already] told you, so that the things that you have heard from others do not cause you to remain in spiritual darkness [MET].
| إِذَنْ، إِنْ كَانَ جَسَدُكَ كُلُّهُ مُنَوَّراً وَلَيْسَ فِيهِ جَانِبٌ مُظْلِمٌ، فَإِنَّهُ يَكُونُ مُنَوَّراً بِكَامِلِهِ، كَأَنَّمَا أَنَارَ لَكَ الْمِصْبَاحُ بِإِشْعَاعِهِ!» | ٣٦ 36 |
If you [live completely according to God’s truth, you will be able to know everything that God wants you to know. It will be like] being in a room with a lamp shining brightly, enabling you to see everything clearly.”
| وَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ يَتَكَلَّمُ، طَلَبَ إِلَيْهِ أَحَدُ الْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ أَنْ يَتَغَدَّى عِنْدَهُ. فَدَخَلَ (بَيْتَهُ) وَاتَّكَأَ. | ٣٧ 37 |
While Jesus finished saying those things, a Pharisee invited him to eat a meal with him. So Jesus went to [his house] and ate with him.
| وَلكِنَّ الْفَرِّيسِيَّ تَعَجَّبَ لَمَّا رَأَى أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَغْتَسِلْ قَبْلَ الْغَدَاءِ. | ٣٨ 38 |
The Pharisee was surprised when he saw that Jesus did not follow the Pharisees’ ritual by washing his hands before eating. [The Pharisees washed their hands in a certain way to be cleansed from anything that might have contaminated them. They were afraid that God might reject them if they] had [touched something unacceptable to God].
| فَقَالَ لَهُ الرَّبُّ: «أَنْتُمُ الْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ تُنَظِّفُونَ الْكَأْسَ وَالصَّحْفَةَ مِنَ الْخَارِجِ، وَلكِنَّكُمْ مِنَ الدَّاخِلِ مَمْلُوؤُونَ نَهْباً وَخُبْثاً. | ٣٩ 39 |
The Lord [Jesus] said to him, “You Pharisees are [concerned about things that are outside your bodies, not with what is in your] ([inner beings/hearts]) [MET]. You wash the outside of cups and dishes [before you eat because you think that doing that will make you acceptable to God], but within yourselves you are very greedy and wicked.
| أَيُّهَا الأَغْبِيَاءُ، أَلَيْسَ الَّذِي صَنَعَ الْخَارِجَ قَدْ صَنَعَ الدَّاخِلَ أَيْضاً؟ | ٤٠ 40 |
You foolish people! [God] is concerned about things that are outside [our bodies], but (he is certainly also concerned about our inner [beings]!/isn’t he also concerned about our hearts?) [RHQ]
| أَحْرَى بِكُمْ أَنْ تَتَصَدَّقُوا بِمَا عِنْدَكُمْ، فَيَكُونُ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ طَاهِراً لَكُمْ. | ٤١ 41 |
Give [money] to those who are poor. [Give according to what you know within] your (inner [/heart]) [that you should give]. Then you [will be surprised to realize that] you will be acceptable [to God without having to perform all those rituals about washing].
| وَلكِنِ الْوَيْلُ لَكُمْ أَيُّهَا الْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ فَإِنَّكُمْ تَدْفَعُونَ عُشْرَ النَّعْنَعِ وَالسَّذَّابِ وَالْبُقُولِ الأُخْرَى، وَتَتَجَاوَزُونَ عَنِ الْعَدْلِ وَمَحَبَّةِ اللهِ: كَانَ يَجِبُ أَنْ تَعْمَلُوا هَذَا وَلا تُهْمِلُوا ذَاكَ! | ٤٢ 42 |
But there will be terrible punishment for you Pharisees! You give to God a tenth of [all you produce, even] the various herbs that you grow, but you do not [remember that you must act] justly [toward others] and love God! It is good to [give a tenth of your income to God], but you ought to do these other things also!
| الْوَيْلُ لَكُمْ أَيُّهَا الْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ، فَإِنَّكُمْ تُحِبُّونَ تَصَدُّرَ الْمَقَاعِدِ الأُولَى فِي الْمَجَامِعِ وَتَلَقِّي التَّحِيَّاتِ فِي السَّاحَاتِ الْعَامَّةِ! | ٤٣ 43 |
There will be terrible punishment for you Pharisees, because you like [to sit in] the best seats in our worship places [so that people will think highly of you], and you like people to greet you [respectfully] in the marketplaces.
| الْوَيْلُ لَكُمْ، فَإِنَّكُمْ تُشْبِهُونَ الْقُبُورَ الْمَخْفِيَّةَ، يَمْشِي النَّاسُ عَلَيْهَا وَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ!» | ٤٤ 44 |
There will be terrible punishment for you, because you are like ground where there is no marker [to indicate that there is a] grave [underneath]. People walk there, but they cannot see [what is rotten down below] [MET]! [Similarly, people who see you do not realize how polluted you are within yourselves].”
| وَتَكَلَّمَ أَحَدُ عُلَمَاءِ الشَّرِيعَةِ، قَائِلاً لَهُ: «يَا مُعَلِّمُ، إِنَّكَ بِقَوْلِكَ هَذَا تُهِينُنَا نَحْنُ أَيْضاً». | ٤٥ 45 |
One of those who taught the [Jewish] laws replied, “Teacher, by saying this you [(sg)] are criticizing us [also]!”
| فَقَالَ: «وَالْوَيْلُ أَيْضاً لَكُمْ يَا عُلَمَاءَ الشَّرِيعَةِ، فَإِنَّكُمْ تُحَمِّلُونَ النَّاسَ أَحْمَالاً مُرْهِقَةً، وَأَنْتُمْ لَا تَمَسُّونَهَا بِإِصْبَعٍ مِنْ أَصَابِعِكُمْ! | ٤٦ 46 |
Jesus said, “It will be terrible also for you who teach the [Jewish] laws! You require people [to obey many rules that are difficult to obey] [MET]. [That is like making them] carry heavy burdens on their backs. But you yourselves do not obey the laws [that you require others to obey]. (OR, you do not do anything to help [others to obey the laws].)
| الْوَيْلُ لَكُمْ، فَإِنَّكُمْ تَبْنُونَ قُبُورَ الأَنْبِيَاءِ وَآبَاؤُكُمْ قَتَلُوهُمْ. | ٤٧ 47 |
There will be terrible punishment for you! You decorate the tombs of the prophets whom your ancestors killed, [but you do not live according to what the prophets taught].
| فَأَنْتُمْ إِذَنْ تَشْهَدُونَ مُوَافِقِينَ عَلَى أَعْمَالِ آبَائِكُمْ: فَهُمْ قَتَلُوا الأَنْبِيَاءَ، وَأَنْتُمْ تَبْنُونَ قُبُورَهُمْ. | ٤٨ 48 |
So you are declaring that you approve of what your ancestors did. They killed the prophets, and you [are not honoring the prophets! You just] decorate their tombs!
| لِهَذَا السَّبَبِ أَيْضاً قَالَتْ حِكْمَةُ اللهِ: سَأُرْسِلُ إِلَيْهِمْ أَنْبِيَاءَ وَرُسُلاً، فَيَقْتُلُونَ مِنْهُمْ وَيَضْطَهِدُونَ، | ٤٩ 49 |
So God, who is very wise [PRS], said, ‘I will send prophets and apostles [to you Jews]. [You] will kill some of them and cause some of them to suffer greatly.
| حَتَّى إِنَّ دِمَاءَ جَمِيعِ الأَنْبِيَاءِ الْمَسْفُوكَةَ مُنْذُ تَأْسِيسِ الْعَالَمِ، يُطَالَبُ بِها هَذَا الْجِيلُ، | ٥٠ 50 |
[As a result, I] will consider that many of you people [who have observed my Son’s ministry] will be guilty [MTY] [of murder, as if you had] killed all the prophets that other people have killed, from the time I created the world,
| مِنْ دَمِ هَابِيلَ إِلَى دَمِ زَكَرِيَّا الَّذِي قُتِلَ بَيْنَ الْمَذْبَحِ وَالْقُدْسِ! أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: نَعَمْ، إِنَّ تِلْكَ الدِّمَاءَ يُطَالَبُ بِها هَذَا الْجِيلُ. | ٥١ 51 |
starting from [Adam’s son Cain] killing [his brother] Abel and continuing until they killed the prophet Zechariah [in the holy place] between the altar and the temple.’ Yes, what I am saying [is true] [MTY]. [God] will punish you people who have observed my ministry, you people whom [he] considers to be guilty [MTY] for [killing] all those prophets!
| الْوَيْلُ لَكُمْ يَا عُلَمَاءَ الشَّرِيعَةِ، فَإِنَّكُمْ خَطِفْتُمْ مِفْتَاحَ الْمَعْرِفَةِ، فَلا أَنْتُمْ دَخَلْتُمْ وَلا تَرَكْتُمُ الدَّاخِلِينَ يَدْخُلُونَ!» | ٥٢ 52 |
There will be terrible punishment for you men who teach the [Jewish] laws, because you have [not let people] know [God’s truth] [MET]! [It is as though you are] taking away a key [to a house]. You are not going into [the house] yourselves, and you are not letting other people enter it, either.”
| وَفيِمَا هُوَ خَارِجٌ مِنْ هُنَاكَ، بَدَأَ الْكَتَبَةُ وَالْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ يُضَيِّقُونَ عَلَيْهِ كَثِيراً، وَأَخَذُوا يَسْتَدْرِجُونَهُ إِلَى الْكَلامِ فِي أُمُورٍ كَثِيرَةٍ، | ٥٣ 53 |
After Jesus finished saying those things, he left there. Then the men who taught the [Jewish] laws and the Pharisees began to act in a very hostile way toward him. They tried to make him say what he thought about many things.
| وَهُمْ يُرَاقِبُونَهُ سَعْياً إِلَى اصْطِيَادِهِ بِكَلامٍ يَقُولُهُ. | ٥٤ 54 |
They kept waiting for him to say something [wrong] for which they could accuse him.
