< لُوقا 13 >

وَفِي ذلِكَ الْوَقْتِ عَيْنِهِ، حَضَرَ بَعْضُهُمْ وَأَخْبَرُوهُ عَنْ أَهْلِ الْجَليلِ الَّذِينَ قَتَلَهُمْ بِيلاطُسُ فَخَلَطَ دِمَاءَهُمْ بِدِمَاءِ ذَبَائِحِهِمْ. ١ 1
Now at that time there were some present who told Him about the Galileans whose blood Herod had mixed with their sacrifices.
فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِمْ قَائِلاً: «أَتَظُنُّونَ أَنَّ هَؤُلاءِ الْجَلِيلِيِّينَ كَانُوا خَاطِئِينَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَلِيلِ الْبَاقِينَ حَتَّى لاقَوْا هَذَا الْمَصِيرَ؟ ٢ 2
So in answer Jesus said to them: “Do you suppose that those Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered such things?
أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: لا، وَلكِنْ إِنْ لَمْ تَتُوبُوا أَنْتُمْ فَجَمِيعُكُمْ كَذَلِكَ تَهْلِكُونَ! ٣ 3
Not at all, I tell you, but unless you repent you will all likewise perish!
أَمْ تَظُنُّونَ أَنَّ الثَّمَانِيَةَ عَشَرَ الَّذِينَ سَقَطَ عَلَيْهِمِ الْبُرْجُ فِي سِلْوَامَ فَقَتَلَهُمْ، كَانُوا مُذْنِبِينَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ السَّاكِنِينَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ؟ ٤ 4
Or those eighteen on whom the tower of Siloam fell and killed them; do you suppose they were worse offenders than all others living in Jerusalem?
أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: لا، وَلكِنْ إِنْ لَمْ تَتُوبُوا أَنْتُمْ فَجَمِيعُكُمْ كَذلِكَ تَهْلِكُونَ!» ٥ 5
Not at all, I tell you, but unless you repent you will all likewise perish!”
ثُمَّ ضَرَبَ هَذَا الْمَثَلَ: «كَانَ عِنْدَ أَحَدِهِمْ شَجَرَةُ تِينٍ مَغْرُوسَةٌ فِي كَرْمِهِ. فَجَاءَهَا طَلَباً لِلثَّمَرِ، فَمَا وَجَدَ شَيْئاً. ٦ 6
Then He told this parable: “A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came looking for fruit on it and found none.
فَقَالَ لِلْمُزَارِعِ: هذِهِ ثَلاثُ سِنِينَ وَأَنَا أَقْصِدُ هذِهِ التِّيِنَةَ طَلَباً لِلثَّمَرِ فَلا أَجِدُ شَيْئاً: اقْطَعْهَا، لِمَاذَا نَتْرُكُهَا تُعَطِّلُ الأَرْضَ؟ ٧ 7
So he said to the gardener: ‘Look, for three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree and have not found any. Cut it down; just why must it waste the soil?’
وَلكِنَّ الْمُزَارِعَ أَجَابَهُ قَائِلاً: يَا سَيِّدُ اتْرُكْهَا هذِهِ السَّنَةَ أَيْضاً، حَتَّى أَنْقُبَ التُّرْبَةَ مِنْ حَوْلِهَا وَأَضَعَ سَمَاداً. ٨ 8
But in answer he said to him, ‘Sir, let it be this year also, until I dig around it and apply fertilizer,
فَلَعَلَّهَا تُنْتِجُ ثَمَراً! وَإلَّا، فَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ تَقْطَعُهَا!» ٩ 9
in case it produces fruit—but if not, then cut it down.’”
وَكَانَ يُعَلِّمُ فِي أَحَدِ الْمَجَامِعِ ذَاتَ سَبْتٍ. ١٠ 10
Now as Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath,
وَإذَا هُنَاكَ امْرَأَةٌ كَانَ قَدْ سَكَنَهَا رُوحٌ فَأَمْرَضَهَا طِيلَةَ ثَمَانِي عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً. وَكَانَتْ حَدْبَاءَ لَا تَقْدِرُ أَنْ تَنْتَصِبَ أَبَداً. ١١ 11
He saw a woman there who had been crippled by a spirit for eighteen years—she was bent over and could not straighten up.
فَلَمَّا رَآهَا يَسُوعُ، دَعَاهَا، وَقَالَ لَهَا: «يَا امْرَأَةُ، أَنْتِ فِي حِلٍّ مِنْ دَائِكِ!» ١٢ 12
So He called her over and said to her, “Woman, you are loosed from your infirmity!”
وَوَضَعَ يَدَيْهِ عَلَيْهَا، فَعَادَتْ مُسْتَقِيمَةً فِي الْحَالِ، وَمَجَّدَتِ اللهَ! ١٣ 13
He placed His hands on her and immediately she was made straight and started glorifying God.
إِلّا أَنَّ رَئِيسَ الْمَجْمَعِ، وَقَدْ ثَارَ غَضَبُهُ لأَنَّ يَسُوعَ شَفَى فِي السَّبْتِ، قَالَ لِلْجَمْعِ: «فِي الأُسْبُوعِ سِتَّةُ أَيَّامٍ يُسْمَحُ فِيهَا بِالْعَمَلِ. فَفِي هذِهِ الأَيَّامِ تَعَالَوْا وَاسْتَشْفُوا، لَا فِي يَوْمِ السَّبْتِ!» ١٤ 14
But the ruler of the synagogue reacted with indignation, because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, and he said to the crowd, “There are six days in which one should work; therefore come and be healed on them, and not on the Sabbath.”
فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِ الرَّبُّ قَائِلاً: «يَا مُنَافِقُونَ! أَلّا يَحُلُّ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُمْ يَوْمَ السَّبْتِ رِبَاطَ ثَوْرِهِ أَوْ حِمَارِهِ مِنَ الْمِذْوَدِ وَيَذْهَبُ بِهِ فَيَسْقِيهِ! ١٥ 15
So the Lord answered him and said: “Hypocrites! Does not each one of you on the Sabbath loose his ox or donkey from the stall and lead it away to water?
وَأَمَّا هذِهِ الْمَرْأَةُ، وَهِيَ ابْنَةٌ لإِبْرَاهِيمَ قَدْ رَبَطَهَا الشَّيْطَانُ طِيلَةَ ثَمَانِي عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً، أَفَمَا كَانَ يَجِبُ أَنْ تُحَلَّ مِنْ هَذَا الرِّبَاطِ فِي يَوْمِ السَّبْتِ؟» ١٦ 16
So ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan kept bound during eighteen long years, be freed from this bond on the Sabbath day?”
وَإِذْ قَالَ هَذَا، خَجِلَ جَمِيعُ مُعَارِضِيهِ، وَفَرِحَ الْجَمْعُ كُلُّهُ بِجَمِيعِ الأَعْمَالِ الْمَجِيدَةِ الَّتِي كَانَ يُجْرِيهَا. ١٧ 17
When He said these things all His adversaries were put to shame, while all the crowd was rejoicing over all the glorious things that were being done by Him.
وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ: «مَاذَا يُشْبِهُ مَلَكُوتُ اللهِ؟ وَبِمَاذَا أُشَبِّهُهُ؟ ١٨ 18
Then He said: “What is the Kingdom of God like, and to what shall I compare it?
إِنَّهُ يُشْبِهُ بِزْرَةَ خَرْدَلٍ أَخَذَهَا إِنْسَانٌ وَأَلْقَاهَا فِي بُسْتَانِهِ، فَنَبَتَتْ وَصَارَتْ شَجَرَةً عَظِيمَةً، وَتَآوَتْ طُيُورُ السَّمَاءِ فِي أَغْصَانِهَا». ١٩ 19
It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his garden; and it grew and became a sizable tree, and the birds of the air perched on its branches.”
وَقَالَ أَيْضاً: «بِمَاذَا أُشَبِّهُ مَلَكُوتَ اللهِ؟ ٢٠ 20
Again He said: “To what shall I compare the Kingdom of God?
إِنَّهُ يُشْبِهُ خَمِيرَةً أَخَذَتْهَا امْرَأَةٌ وَأَخْفَتْهَا فِي ثَلاثَةِ مَقَادِيرَ مِنَ الدَّقِيقِ حَتَّى اخْتَمَرَ الْعَجِينُ كُلُّهُ!» ٢١ 21
It is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into three measures of flour, until it was all leavened.”
وَاجْتَازَ فِي الْمُدُنِ وَالْقُرَى وَاحِدَةً بَعْدَ الأُخْرَى، يُعَلِّمُ فِيهَا وَهُوَ مُسَافِرٌ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ. ٢٢ 22
He was traveling through various towns and villages, teaching and journeying toward Jerusalem.
وَسَأَلَهُ أَحَدُهُمْ: «يَا سَيِّدُ، أَقَلِيلٌ عَدَدُ الَّذِينَ سَيَخْلُصُونَ؟» وَلكِنَّهُ قَالَ لِلْجَمِيعِ: ٢٣ 23
Then someone said to Him, “Lord, are the ones being saved few?” So He said to them:
«ابْذِلُوا الْجَهْدَ لِلدُّخُولِ مِنَ الْبَابِ الضَّيِّقِ، فَإِنِّي أَقُولُ لَكُمْ إِنَّ كَثِيرِينَ سَيَسْعَوْنَ إِلَى الدُّخُولِ، وَلا يَقْدِرُونَ. ٢٤ 24
“Exert yourselves to enter through the narrow gate, because many, I say to you, will try to enter and not manage it.
فَمِنْ بَعْدِ مَا يَكُونُ رَبُّ الْبَيْتِ قَدْ قَامَ وَأَغْلَقَ الْبَابَ، وَتَبْدَأُونَ بِالْوُقُوفِ خَارِجاً تَقْرَعُونَ الْبَابَ قَائِلِينَ: يَا رَبُّ افْتَحْ لَنَا! فَيُجِيبُكُمْ قَائِلاً: لَا أَعْرِفُ مِنْ أَيْنَ أَنْتُمْ! ٢٥ 25
When once the master of the house gets up and shuts the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock on the door saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’ and in answer he will say to you, ‘I do not know you; where are you from?’
عِنْدَئِذٍ تَبْدَأُونَ تَقُولُونَ: أَكَلْنَا وَشَرِبْنَا بِحُضُورِكَ، وَعَلَّمْتَ فِي شَوَارِعِنَا! ٢٦ 26
then you will begin by saying, ‘We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.’
وَسَوْفَ يَقُولُ: أَقُولُ لَكُمْ، لَا أَعْرِفُ مِنْ أَيْنَ أَنْتُمْ؛ اغْرُبُوا مِنْ أَمَامِي يَا جَمِيعَ فَاعِلِي الإِثْمِ! ٢٧ 27
But he will say: ‘I tell you, I do not know where you are from. Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity.’
هُنَاكَ سَيَكُونُ الْبُكَاءُ وَصَرِيرُ الأَسْنَانِ، عِنْدَمَا تَرَوْنَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ وَجَمِيعَ الأَنْبِيَاءِ فِي مَلَكُوتِ اللهِ وَأَنْتُمْ مَطْرُوحُونَ خَارِجاً. ٢٨ 28
“There will be weeping there, and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the Kingdom of God, but you yourselves being thrown out.
وَسَيَأْتِي أُنَاسٌ مِنَ الشَّرْقِ وَالْغَرْبِ، وَمِنَ الشِّمَالِ وَالْجَنُوبِ، وَيَتَّكِئُونَ فِي مَلَكُوتِ اللهِ. ٢٩ 29
They will even come from the east, the west, the north and the south, and recline in the Kingdom of God.
فَإِذاً آخِرُونَ يَصِيرُونَ أَوَّلِينَ، وَأَوَّلُونَ يَصِيرُونَ آخِرِينَ». ٣٠ 30
Yes indeed, there are last who will be first, and there are first who will be last.”
فِي تِلْكَ السَّاعَةِ نَفْسِهَا، تَقَدَّمَ إِلَيْهِ بَعْضُ الْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ، قَائِلِينَ لَهُ: «انْجُ بِنَفْسِكَ! اهْرُبْ مِنْ هُنَا، فَإِنَّ هِيرُودُسَ عَازِمٌ عَلَى قَتْلِكَ». ٣١ 31
On that same day some Pharisees approached saying to Him, “Get out of here and go away, because Herod wants to kill you.”
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «اذْهَبُوا، قُولُوا لِهَذَا الثَّعْلَبِ: هَا أَنَا أَطْرُدُ الشَّيَاطِينَ وَأَشْفِي الْمَرْضَى الْيَوْمَ وَغَداً. وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ يَتِمُّ بِي كُلُّ شَيْءٍ. ٣٢ 32
He said to them: “Go tell that ‘fox’, ‘Take note, I am casting out demons and performing cures today and tomorrow, and on the third I will be perfected.’
وَلكِنْ لابُدَّ أَنْ أُكَمِّلَ مَسِيرَتِي الْيَوْمَ وَغَداً وَمَا بَعْدَهُمَا، لأَنَّهُ لَا يُمْكِنُ أَنْ يَهْلِكَ نَبِيٌّ إِلّا فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ! ٣٣ 33
Nevertheless I must keep going today and tomorrow and the day following, because it is not credible that a prophet should perish outside of Jerusalem!
يَا أُورُشَلِيمُ، يَا أُورُشَلِيمُ، يَا قَاتِلَةَ الأَنْبِيَاءِ وَرَاجِمَةَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ إِلَيْهَا؛ كَمْ مَرَّةٍ أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَجْمَعَ أَوْلادَكِ مَعاً كَمَا تَجْمَعُ الدَّجَاجَةُ فِرَاخَهَا تَحْتَ جَنَاحَيْهَا، وَلكِنَّكُمْ لَمْ تُرِيدُوا! ٣٤ 34
“Jerusalem, Jerusalem, she who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, like a hen gathers her brood under her wings, but you were not willing!
هَا إِنَّ بَيْتَكُمْ يُتْرَكُ لَكُمْ خَرَاباً! وَأَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّكُمْ لَنْ تَرَوْنِي أَبَداً، حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ وَقْتٌ تَقُولُونَ فِيهِ: مُبَارَكٌ الآتِي بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ!» ٣٥ 35
So then, your house is left to you desolate. I tell you that you will definitely not see me until the time comes when you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’”
