< لُوقا 13 >

وَفِي ذلِكَ الْوَقْتِ عَيْنِهِ، حَضَرَ بَعْضُهُمْ وَأَخْبَرُوهُ عَنْ أَهْلِ الْجَليلِ الَّذِينَ قَتَلَهُمْ بِيلاطُسُ فَخَلَطَ دِمَاءَهُمْ بِدِمَاءِ ذَبَائِحِهِمْ. ١ 1
It was around this time that some people told Jesus about Pilate's killing of some Galileans while they were offering sacrifices in the Temple.
فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِمْ قَائِلاً: «أَتَظُنُّونَ أَنَّ هَؤُلاءِ الْجَلِيلِيِّينَ كَانُوا خَاطِئِينَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَلِيلِ الْبَاقِينَ حَتَّى لاقَوْا هَذَا الْمَصِيرَ؟ ٢ 2
“Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than any other Galileans because they suffered like this?” Jesus asked.
أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: لا، وَلكِنْ إِنْ لَمْ تَتُوبُوا أَنْتُمْ فَجَمِيعُكُمْ كَذَلِكَ تَهْلِكُونَ! ٣ 3
“No, I tell you. But unless you repent, you will all perish as well.
أَمْ تَظُنُّونَ أَنَّ الثَّمَانِيَةَ عَشَرَ الَّذِينَ سَقَطَ عَلَيْهِمِ الْبُرْجُ فِي سِلْوَامَ فَقَتَلَهُمْ، كَانُوا مُذْنِبِينَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ السَّاكِنِينَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ؟ ٤ 4
What about those eighteen people that were killed when the tower in Siloam fell on them? Do you think they were the worst people in the whole of Jerusalem?
أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: لا، وَلكِنْ إِنْ لَمْ تَتُوبُوا أَنْتُمْ فَجَمِيعُكُمْ كَذلِكَ تَهْلِكُونَ!» ٥ 5
No, I tell you. But unless you repent, you will all perish as well.”
ثُمَّ ضَرَبَ هَذَا الْمَثَلَ: «كَانَ عِنْدَ أَحَدِهِمْ شَجَرَةُ تِينٍ مَغْرُوسَةٌ فِي كَرْمِهِ. فَجَاءَهَا طَلَباً لِلثَّمَرِ، فَمَا وَجَدَ شَيْئاً. ٦ 6
Then he told them this story as an illustration. “Once there was man who had a fig tree planted in his vineyard. He came to look for fruit on the tree, but he didn't find any.
فَقَالَ لِلْمُزَارِعِ: هذِهِ ثَلاثُ سِنِينَ وَأَنَا أَقْصِدُ هذِهِ التِّيِنَةَ طَلَباً لِلثَّمَرِ فَلا أَجِدُ شَيْئاً: اقْطَعْهَا، لِمَاذَا نَتْرُكُهَا تُعَطِّلُ الأَرْضَ؟ ٧ 7
So he told the gardener, ‘Look, for three years I've been coming to look for fruit on this fig tree and I haven't found any. Chop it down! Why should it be taking up space?’
وَلكِنَّ الْمُزَارِعَ أَجَابَهُ قَائِلاً: يَا سَيِّدُ اتْرُكْهَا هذِهِ السَّنَةَ أَيْضاً، حَتَّى أَنْقُبَ التُّرْبَةَ مِنْ حَوْلِهَا وَأَضَعَ سَمَاداً. ٨ 8
‘Master,’ the man replied, ‘please leave it alone for just one more year. I'll dig the soil around it and put down some fertilizer.
فَلَعَلَّهَا تُنْتِجُ ثَمَراً! وَإلَّا، فَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ تَقْطَعُهَا!» ٩ 9
If it produces fruit, then that's fine. If not, then chop it down.’”
وَكَانَ يُعَلِّمُ فِي أَحَدِ الْمَجَامِعِ ذَاتَ سَبْتٍ. ١٠ 10
One Sabbath Jesus was teaching in a synagogue,
وَإذَا هُنَاكَ امْرَأَةٌ كَانَ قَدْ سَكَنَهَا رُوحٌ فَأَمْرَضَهَا طِيلَةَ ثَمَانِي عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً. وَكَانَتْ حَدْبَاءَ لَا تَقْدِرُ أَنْ تَنْتَصِبَ أَبَداً. ١١ 11
and a woman was there who had been crippled by an evil spirit for eighteen years. She was bent over and could not stand straight.
فَلَمَّا رَآهَا يَسُوعُ، دَعَاهَا، وَقَالَ لَهَا: «يَا امْرَأَةُ، أَنْتِ فِي حِلٍّ مِنْ دَائِكِ!» ١٢ 12
When Jesus saw her, he called her over and told her, “You're freed of your sickness.”
وَوَضَعَ يَدَيْهِ عَلَيْهَا، فَعَادَتْ مُسْتَقِيمَةً فِي الْحَالِ، وَمَجَّدَتِ اللهَ! ١٣ 13
Then he placed his hands on her, and immediately she straightened up, and she praised 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
However, the synagogue leader was upset that Jesus had healed on the Sabbath. He said to the crowd, “There are six days for work. Come and be healed on those days, 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
But the Lord answered him, “You hypocrites! Doesn't every one of you untie your ox or donkey from the stall and take it to drink?
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
Why shouldn't this woman, this daughter of Abraham whom Satan has kept tied up for eighteen years, be untied and set free this Sabbath day?”
وَإِذْ قَالَ هَذَا، خَجِلَ جَمِيعُ مُعَارِضِيهِ، وَفَرِحَ الْجَمْعُ كُلُّهُ بِجَمِيعِ الأَعْمَالِ الْمَجِيدَةِ الَّتِي كَانَ يُجْرِيهَا. ١٧ 17
What he said shamed all his opponents, but everyone in the crowd was delighted by all the wonderful things he was doing.
وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ: «مَاذَا يُشْبِهُ مَلَكُوتُ اللهِ؟ وَبِمَاذَا أُشَبِّهُهُ؟ ١٨ 18
Then Jesus asked, “So what is the kingdom of God like? What should I compare it to?
إِنَّهُ يُشْبِهُ بِزْرَةَ خَرْدَلٍ أَخَذَهَا إِنْسَانٌ وَأَلْقَاهَا فِي بُسْتَانِهِ، فَنَبَتَتْ وَصَارَتْ شَجَرَةً عَظِيمَةً، وَتَآوَتْ طُيُورُ السَّمَاءِ فِي أَغْصَانِهَا». ١٩ 19
It's like a mustard seed that a man planted in his garden. It grew into a tree, and the birds came and nested in its branches.”
وَقَالَ أَيْضاً: «بِمَاذَا أُشَبِّهُ مَلَكُوتَ اللهِ؟ ٢٠ 20
He asked again, “What shall I compare the kingdom of God to?
إِنَّهُ يُشْبِهُ خَمِيرَةً أَخَذَتْهَا امْرَأَةٌ وَأَخْفَتْهَا فِي ثَلاثَةِ مَقَادِيرَ مِنَ الدَّقِيقِ حَتَّى اخْتَمَرَ الْعَجِينُ كُلُّهُ!» ٢١ 21
It's like yeast that a woman took and mixed into three measures of flour which made the whole batch rise.”
وَاجْتَازَ فِي الْمُدُنِ وَالْقُرَى وَاحِدَةً بَعْدَ الأُخْرَى، يُعَلِّمُ فِيهَا وَهُوَ مُسَافِرٌ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ. ٢٢ 22
Jesus went around the towns and villages, teaching on his way to Jerusalem.
وَسَأَلَهُ أَحَدُهُمْ: «يَا سَيِّدُ، أَقَلِيلٌ عَدَدُ الَّذِينَ سَيَخْلُصُونَ؟» وَلكِنَّهُ قَالَ لِلْجَمِيعِ: ٢٣ 23
Someone asked him, “Lord, will only a few be saved?” Jesus replied,
«ابْذِلُوا الْجَهْدَ لِلدُّخُولِ مِنَ الْبَابِ الضَّيِّقِ، فَإِنِّي أَقُولُ لَكُمْ إِنَّ كَثِيرِينَ سَيَسْعَوْنَ إِلَى الدُّخُولِ، وَلا يَقْدِرُونَ. ٢٤ 24
“Try very hard to enter the narrow doorway, because I tell you that many will try to go in, and won't succeed.
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
Once the house owner gets up and closes the door, you'll be standing outside knocking on the door, saying, ‘Master, please open the door for us.’ But he'll reply, ‘I don't know you or where you're from.’
عِنْدَئِذٍ تَبْدَأُونَ تَقُولُونَ: أَكَلْنَا وَشَرِبْنَا بِحُضُورِكَ، وَعَلَّمْتَ فِي شَوَارِعِنَا! ٢٦ 26
Then you'll say, ‘But we ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets!’
وَسَوْفَ يَقُولُ: أَقُولُ لَكُمْ، لَا أَعْرِفُ مِنْ أَيْنَ أَنْتُمْ؛ اغْرُبُوا مِنْ أَمَامِي يَا جَمِيعَ فَاعِلِي الإِثْمِ! ٢٧ 27
He'll reply, ‘I tell you, I don't know you or where you're from. Get away from me, all of you who don't do what's good!’
هُنَاكَ سَيَكُونُ الْبُكَاءُ وَصَرِيرُ الأَسْنَانِ، عِنْدَمَا تَرَوْنَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ وَجَمِيعَ الأَنْبِيَاءِ فِي مَلَكُوتِ اللهِ وَأَنْتُمْ مَطْرُوحُونَ خَارِجاً. ٢٨ 28
There will be crying and gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God but you are thrown out.
وَسَيَأْتِي أُنَاسٌ مِنَ الشَّرْقِ وَالْغَرْبِ، وَمِنَ الشِّمَالِ وَالْجَنُوبِ، وَيَتَّكِئُونَ فِي مَلَكُوتِ اللهِ. ٢٩ 29
People will come from the east and the west, the north and the south, and they will sit down to eat in the kingdom of God.
فَإِذاً آخِرُونَ يَصِيرُونَ أَوَّلِينَ، وَأَوَّلُونَ يَصِيرُونَ آخِرِينَ». ٣٠ 30
For the last shall be first, and the first shall be last.”
فِي تِلْكَ السَّاعَةِ نَفْسِهَا، تَقَدَّمَ إِلَيْهِ بَعْضُ الْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ، قَائِلِينَ لَهُ: «انْجُ بِنَفْسِكَ! اهْرُبْ مِنْ هُنَا، فَإِنَّ هِيرُودُسَ عَازِمٌ عَلَى قَتْلِكَ». ٣١ 31
At that moment some Pharisees came to Jesus and told him, “You should leave here. 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
Jesus replied, “Go tell that fox that I will go on driving out demons and healing people for today and tomorrow, and on the third day I'll achieve what I came to do.
وَلكِنْ لابُدَّ أَنْ أُكَمِّلَ مَسِيرَتِي الْيَوْمَ وَغَداً وَمَا بَعْدَهُمَا، لأَنَّهُ لَا يُمْكِنُ أَنْ يَهْلِكَ نَبِيٌّ إِلّا فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ! ٣٣ 33
Well anyway I must continue on my way for today and tomorrow, and the day after. For it wouldn't be right for a prophet to die 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
Oh Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you kill prophets and stone those who are sent to you! How often I have wanted to gather all your children together just like a hen does with her chicks under her wings, but you refused!
هَا إِنَّ بَيْتَكُمْ يُتْرَكُ لَكُمْ خَرَاباً! وَأَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّكُمْ لَنْ تَرَوْنِي أَبَداً، حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ وَقْتٌ تَقُولُونَ فِيهِ: مُبَارَكٌ الآتِي بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ!» ٣٥ 35
Look, your house is left desolate, and I tell you that you won't see me again until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’”
