لُوقا 15
| وَكَانَ جَمِيعُ جُبَاةِ الضَّرَائِبِ وَالْخَاطِئِينَ يَتَقَدَّمُونَ إِلَيْهِ لِيَسْمَعُوهُ. | ١ 1 |
Then all the tax collectors and ‘sinners’ were getting close to Him to hear Him.
| فَتَذَمَّرَ الْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ وَالْكَتَبَةُ قَائِلِينَ: «هَذَا الإِنْسَانُ يُرَحِّبُ بِالْخَاطِئِينَ وَيَأْكُلُ مَعَهُمْ!» | ٢ 2 |
Well the Pharisees and the scribes started complaining, saying, “This man welcomes ‘sinners’ and eats with them.”
| فَضَرَبَ لَهُمْ هَذَا الْمَثَلَ قَائِلاً: | ٣ 3 |
So He told them this parable, saying:
| «أَيُّ إِنْسَانٍ مِنْكُمْ عِنْدَهُ مِئَةُ خَرُوفٍ وَأَضَاعَ وَاحِداً مِنْهَا، أَلا يَتْرُكُ التِّسْعَةَ وَالتِّسْعِينَ فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ وَيَذْهَبُ يَبْحَثُ عَنِ الْخَرُوفِ الضَّائِعِ حَتَّى يَجِدَهُ؟ | ٤ 4 |
“What man among you, having a hundred sheep and losing one of them, does not abandon the ninety-nine in the wild and go after the lost one until he finds it?
| وَبَعْدَ أَنْ يَجِدَهُ، يَحْمِلُهُ عَلَى كَتِفَيْهِ فَرِحاً، | ٥ 5 |
And upon finding it he joyfully puts it on his shoulders.
| ثُمَّ يَعُودُ إِلَى الْبَيْتِ، وَيَدْعُو الأَصْدِقَاءَ وَالْجِيرَانَ، قَائِلاً لَهُمْ: افْرَحُوا مَعِي، لأَنِّي وَجَدْتُ خَرُوفِي الضَّائِعَ! | ٦ 6 |
And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost!’
| أَقُولُ لَكُمْ إِنَّهُ هكَذَا يَكُونُ فِي السَّمَاءِ فَرَحٌ بِخَاطِئٍ وَاحِدٍ تَائِبٍ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ تِسْعَةٍ وَتِسْعِينَ بَارّاً لَا يَحْتَاجُونَ إِلَى تَوْبَةٍ! | ٧ 7 |
I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous ones who have no need of repentance.
| أَمْ أَيَّةُ امْرَأَةٍ عِنْدَهَا عَشَرَةُ دَرَاهِمَ، إِذَا أَضَاعَتْ دِرْهَماً وَاحِداً، أَلا تُشْعِلُ مِصْبَاحاً وَتَكْنُسُ الْبَيْتَ وَتَبْحَثُ بِانْتِبَاهٍ حَتَّى تَجِدَهُ؟ | ٨ 8 |
“Or what woman having ten silver coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search carefully until she finds it?
| وَبَعْدَ أَنْ تَجِدَهُ، تَدْعُو الصَّدِيقَاتِ وَالْجَارَاتِ قَائِلَةً: افْرَحْنَ مَعِي، لأَنِّي وَجَدْتُ الدِّرْهَمَ الَّذِي أَضَعْتُهُ. | ٩ 9 |
And when she finds it, she calls together her friends and neighbors saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin that I lost!’
| أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: هكَذَا يَكُونُ بَيْنَ مَلائِكَةِ اللهِ فَرَحٌ بِخَاطِئٍ وَاحِدٍ يَتُوبُ». | ١٠ 10 |
Just so, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”
| وَقَالَ: «كَانَ لإِنْسَانٍ ابْنَانِ. | ١١ 11 |
Then He said: “A certain man had two sons.
| فَقَالَ أَصْغَرُهُمَا لأَبِيهِ: يَا أَبِي، أَعْطِنِي الْحِصَّةَ الَّتِي تَخُصُّنِي مِنَ الْمِيرَاثِ! فَقَسَمَ لَهُمَا كُلَّ مَا يَمْلِكُهُ. | ١٢ 12 |
And the younger one said to the father, ‘Father, give me the appropriate share of the estate.’ So he divided the property between them.
| وَبَعْدَ بِضْعَةِ أَيَّامٍ، جَمَعَ الاِبْنُ الأَصْغَرُ كُلَّ مَا عِنْدَهُ، وَمَضَى إِلَى بَلَدٍ بَعِيدٍ. وَهُنَالِكَ بَذَّرَ حِصَّتَهُ مِنَ الْمَالِ فِي عِيشَةِ الْخَلاعَةِ. | ١٣ 13 |
Not many days later the younger son, having converted it all, journeyed to a distant country; and there he squandered his wealth living dissolutely.
| وَلكِنْ لَمَّا أَنْفَقَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ، اجْتَاحَتْ ذلِكَ الْبَلَدَ مَجَاعَةٌ قَاسِيَةٌ، فَأَخَذَ يَشْعُرُ بِالْحَاجَةِ. | ١٤ 14 |
But when he had spent it all, there was a severe famine throughout that country, and he began to be in need.
| فَذَهَبَ وَالْتَحَقَ بِوَاحِدٍ مِنْ مُوَاطِنِي ذلِكَ الْبَلَدِ، فَأَرْسَلَهُ إِلَى حُقُولِهِ لِيَرْعَى خَنَازِيرَ. | ١٥ 15 |
Then he went and attached himself to a citizen of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed pigs.
| وَكَمِ اشْتَهَى لَوْ يَمْلأُ بَطْنَهُ مِنَ الْخُرْنُوبِ الَّذِي كَانَتِ الْخَنَازِيرُ تَأْكُلُهُ، فَمَا أَعْطَاهُ أَحَدٌ! | ١٦ 16 |
He would gladly have filled his stomach with the carob pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything.
| ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِلَى نَفْسِهِ، وَقَالَ: مَا أَكْثَرَ خُدَّامَ أَبِي الْمَأْجُورِينَ الَّذِينَ يَفْضُلُ عَنْهُمُ الْخُبْزُ، وَأَنَا هُنَا أَكَادُ أَهْلِكُ جُوعاً! | ١٧ 17 |
But when he came to himself he said: ‘How many of my father's hired servants have an abundance of bread, while I am dying of hunger!
| سَأَقُومُ وَأَرْجِعُ إِلَى أَبِي، وَأَقُولُ لَهُ: يَا أَبِي، أَخْطَأْتُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَأَمَامَكَ؛ | ١٨ 18 |
I will get up and go to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you,
| وَلا أَسْتَحِقُّ بَعْدُ أَنْ أُدْعَى ابْناً لَكَ: اجْعَلْنِي كَوَاحِدٍ مِنْ خُدَّامِكَ الْمَأْجُورِينَ! | ١٩ 19 |
and I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me as one of your hired servants.’
| فَقَامَ وَرَجَعَ إِلَى أَبِيهِ. وَلكِنَّ أَبَاهُ رَآهُ وَهُوَ مَازَالَ بَعِيداً، فَتَحَنَّنَ، وَرَكَضَ إِلَيْهِ وَعَانَقَهُ وَقَبَّلَهُ بِحَرَارَةٍ. | ٢٠ 20 |
“So he got up and went to his own father. But while he was still a good ways off, his father saw him and was moved with compassion—he ran and fell on his neck and kissed him!
| فَقَالَ لَهُ الاِبْنُ. يَا أَبِي، أَخْطَأْتُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَأَمَامَكَ، وَلا أَسْتَحِقُّ بَعْدُ أَنْ أُدْعَى ابْناً لَكَ. | ٢١ 21 |
Then the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you, and I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’
| أَمَّا الأَبُ فَقَالَ لِعَبِيدِهِ: أَحْضِرُوا سَرِيعاً أَفْضَلَ ثَوْبٍ وَأَلْبِسُوهُ، وَضَعُوا فِي إِصْبَعِهِ خَاتِماً وَفِي قَدَمَيْهِ حِذَاءً. | ٢٢ 22 |
But the father said to his slaves: ‘Bring out the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet.
| وَأَحْضِرُوا الْعِجْلَ الْمُسَمَّنَ وَاذْبَحُوهُ؛ وَلْنَأْكُلْ وَنَفْرَحْ: | ٢٣ 23 |
And bring in and kill the fatted calf, and let us eat and celebrate;
| فَإِنَّ ابْنِي هَذَا كَانَ مَيِّتاً فَعَاشَ، وَكَانَ ضَائِعاً فَوُجِدَ. فَأَخَذُوا يَفْرَحُونَ! | ٢٤ 24 |
because this son of mine was dead and came to life; he was lost and is found!’ So they began to celebrate.
| وَكَانَ ابْنُهُ الأَكْبَرُ فِي الْحَقْلِ. فَلَمَّا جَاءَ وَاقْتَرَبَ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ، سَمِعَ مُوسِيقَى وَرَقْصاً. | ٢٥ 25 |
“Now his older son was in the field; and as he came approaching the house he heard music and dancing.
| فَدَعَا وَاحِداً مِنَ الْخُدَّامِ وَاسْتَفْسَرَهُ مَا عَسَى أَنْ يَكُونَ ذلِكَ. | ٢٦ 26 |
So he called one of the servants and asked what these things meant.
| فَأَجَابَهُ: رَجَعَ أَخُوكَ، فَذَبَحَ أَبُوكَ الْعِجْلَ الْمُسَمَّنَ لأَنَّهُ اسْتَعَادَهُ سَالِماً! | ٢٧ 27 |
He said to him, ‘Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fatted calf, because he has received him back safe and sound.’
| وَلكِنَّهُ غَضِبَ وَرَفَضَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ. فَخَرَجَ أَبُوهُ وَتَوَسَّلَ إِلَيْهِ. | ٢٨ 28 |
So he became angry and refused to go in. Then his father came out and began to plead with him.
| غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ رَدَّ عَلَى أَبِيهِ قَائِلاً: هَا أَنَا أَخْدِمُكَ هذِهِ السِّنِينَ الْعَدِيدَةَ، وَلَمْ أُخَالِفْ لَكَ أَمْراً، وَلكِنَّكَ لَمْ تُعْطِنِي وَلَوْ جَدْياً وَاحِداً لأَفْرَحَ مَعَ أَصْدِقَائِي. | ٢٩ 29 |
But in answer he said to the father: ‘Just look at how many years I have been serving you without ever transgressing your commandment; yet you never gave me even a young goat that I might celebrate with my friends.
| وَلكِنْ لَمَّا عَادَ ابْنُكَ هَذَا الَّذِي أَكَلَ مَالَكَ مَعَ الْفَاجِرَاتِ، ذَبَحْتَ لَهُ الْعِجْلَ الْمُسَمَّنَ! | ٣٠ 30 |
But when this son of yours came, who has devoured your livelihood with prostitutes, you killed the fatted calf for him!’
| فَقَالَ لَهُ: يَا بُنَيَّ، أَنْتَ مَعِي دَائِماً، وَكُلُّ مَا أَمْلِكُهُ هُوَ لَكَ! | ٣١ 31 |
So he said to him: ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that I have is yours.
| وَلكِنْ كَانَ مِنَ الصَّوَابِ أَنْ نَفْرَحَ وَنَبْتَهِجَ، لأَنَّ أَخَاكَ هَذَا كَانَ مَيِّتاً فَعَاشَ، وَكَانَ ضَالاً فَوُجِدَ!» | ٣٢ 32 |
But it was right that we celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and came to life; he was lost and is found.’”
