وَضَرَبَ لَهُمْ مَثَلاً فِي وُجُوبِ الصَّلاةِ دَائِماً وَدُونَ مَلَلٍ، ١ 1
He also taught them by a parable how they ought always to pray and never to lose heart.
قَالَ: «كَانَ فِي مَدِينَةٍ قَاضٍ لَا يَخَافُ اللهَ وَلا يَحْتَرِمُ إِنْسَاناً. ٢ 2
"There was a certain town," he said, "a judge who had neither reverence for God, nor respect for man.
وَكَانَ فِي تِلْكَ الْمَدِينَةِ أَرْمَلَةٌ كَانَتْ تَأْتِي إِلَيْهِ قَائِلَةً: أَنْصِفْنِي مِنْ خَصْمِي! ٣ 3
"In that same town there was a widow who came again and again before him, saying, "‘Do for me the justice of my adversary.’
فَظَلَّ يَرْفُضُ طَلَبَهَا مُدَّةً مِنَ الزَّمَنِ. وَلكِنَّهُ بَعْدَ ذلِكَ قَالَ فِي نَفْسِهِ: حَتَّى لَوْ كُنْتُ لَا أَخَافُ اللهَ وَلا أَحْتَرِمُ إِنْسَاناً، ٤ 4
"For a while he would not, but afterwards he said to himself, ‘Though I have neither reverence for God nor regard for man,
فَمَهْمَا يَكُنْ، فَلأَنَّ هذِهِ الأَرْمَلَةَ تُزْعِجُنِي سَأُنْصِفُهَا، لِئَلّا تَأْتِيَ دَائِماً فَتُصَدِّعَ رَأْسِي!» ٥ 5
"‘yet because this woman annoys me I will give her justice, lest by her continual coming she wear me out.’
وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ: «اسْمَعُوا مَا يَقُولُهُ الْقَاضِي الظَّالِمُ. ٦ 6
"Listen" said the Lord, "to what this unjust judge says.
أَفَلا يُنْصِفُ اللهُ مُخْتَارِيهِ الَّذِينَ يَصْرُخُونَ إِلَيْهِ نَهَاراً وَلَيْلاً؟ أَمَا يُسْرِعُ فِي الاسْتِجَابَةِ لَهُمْ؟ ٧ 7
"And will not God see justice done to his elect who are crying unto him day and night, even if he seems to delay helping them?
أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّهُ يُنْصِفُهُمْ سَرِيعاً. وَلكِنْ، عِنْدَمَا يَعُودُ ابْنُ الإِنْسَانِ، أَيَجِدُ إِيمَاناً عَلَى الأَرْضِ؟» ٨ 8
"I tell you that he will quickly see justice done to his elect! Nevertheless, when the Son of man comes, will he find faith upon the earth?"
وَضَرَبَ أَيْضاً هَذَا الْمَثَلَ لأُنَاسٍ يَثِقُونَ فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ بِأَنَّهُمْ أَبْرَارٌ وَيَحْتَقِرُونَ الآخَرِينَ: ٩ 9
Moreover he spoke this parable to some who trusted in themselves because they were righteous, and looked down upon the rest.
«صَعِدَ إِنْسَانَانِ إِلَى الْهَيْكَلِ لِيُصَلِّيَا، أَحَدُهُمَا فَرِّيسِيٌّ وَالآخَرُ جَابِي ضَرَائِبَ. ١٠ 10
"Two men are going up to the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, the other a tax-gatherer.
فَوَقَفَ الْفَرِّيسِيُّ يُصَلِّي فِي نَفْسِهِ هكَذَا: أَشْكُرُكَ، يَا اللهُ، لأَنِّي لَسْتُ مِثْلَ بَاقِي النَّاسِ الطَّمَّاعِينَ الظَّالِمِينَ الزُّنَاةِ، وَلا مِثْلَ جَابِي الضَّرَائِبِ هَذَا: ١١ 11
"The Pharisee stood apart and thus began to pray by himself. "‘O God, I thank thee that I am not like the rest of men, extortioners, rogues, adulterers, or even like this tax gatherer;
أَصُومُ مَرَّتَيْنِ فِي الأُسْبُوعِ، وَأُقَدِّمُ عُشْرَ كُلِّ مَا أَجْنِيهِ! ١٢ 12
"‘I fast twice a week, I pay tithes of all my possessions.’
وَلكِنَّ جَابِيَ الضَّرَائِبِ، وَقَفَ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ وَهُوَ لَا يَجْرُؤُ أَنْ يَرْفَعَ عَيْنَيْهِ نَحْوَ السَّمَاءِ، بَلْ قَرَعَ صَدْرَهُ قَائِلاً: ارْحَمْنِي، يَا اللهُ، أَنَا الْخَاطِئُ! ١٣ 13
"But the tax-gatherer, standing far back, would not lift up so much as his eyes to heaven, but kept beating his breast and saying, "‘O God be merciful to me, the sinner!’
أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ هَذَا الإِنْسَانَ نَزَلَ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ مُبَرَّراً، بِعَكْسِ الآخَرِ. فَإِنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ يُرَفِّعُ نَفْسَهُ يُوضَعُ؛ وَمَنْ يَضَعُ نَفْسَهُ يُرَفَّعُ». ١٤ 14
"I tell you that this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for every one who exalts himself shall be humbled; but he who humbles himself shall be exalted."
وَأَحْضَرَ بَعْضُهُمْ أَطْفَالاً أَيْضاً لِيَلْمِسَهُمْ. وَلكِنَّ التَّلامِيذَ لَمَّا رَأَوْهُمْ زَجَرُوهُمْ. ١٥ 15
And they kept bringing their babies for him to touch them; but when his disciples saw it they began to rebuke them.
أَمَّا يَسُوعُ فَدَعَاهُمْ إِلَيْهِ وَقَالَ: «دَعُوا الصِّغَارَ يَأْتُونَ إِلَيَّ، وَلا تَمْنَعُوهُمْ: لأَنَّ لِمِثْلِ هؤُلاءِ مَلَكُوتَ اللهِ! ١٦ 16
But Jesus called for the babies. "Let the little children come to me," he said, "do not hinder them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: مَنْ لَا يَقْبَلُ مَلَكُوتَ اللهِ كَأَنَّهُ وَلَدٌ صَغِيرٌ، فَلَنْ يَدْخُلَهُ أَبَداً!» ١٧ 17
"I tell you in solemn truth that whoever will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child, he will never get into it."
وَسَأَلَهُ وَاحِدٌ مِنَ الرُّؤَسَاءِ قَائِلاً: «أَيُّهَا الْمُعَلِّمُ الصَّالِحُ، مَاذَا أَعْمَلُ لأَرِثَ الْحَيَاةَ الأَبَدِيَّةَ؟» (aiōnios g166) ١٨ 18
A ruler put this question to him. "Good teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?" (aiōnios g166)
وَلَكِنَّ يَسُوعَ قَالَ لَهُ: «لِمَاذَا تَدْعُونِي الصَّالِحَ؟ لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ صَالِحاً إِلّا وَاحِدٌ، وَهُوَ اللهُ! ١٩ 19
"Why are you calling me ‘good’?"said Jesus to him; "no one is good but God.
أَنْتَ تَعْرِفُ الْوَصَايَا: لَا تَزْنِ؛ لَا تَقْتُلْ؛ لَا تَسْرِقْ؛ لَا تَشْهَدْ بِالزُّورِ؛ أَكْرِمْ أَبَاكَ وَأُمَّكَ!» ٢٠ 20
"You know the commandments. "Do not commit adultery, Do not murder, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor your father and mother."
فَقَالَ: «هَذِهِ كُلُّهَا عَمِلْتُ بِها مُنْذُ صِغَرِي!» ٢١ 21
"All of these," he replied, "I have kept from my youth up."
فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ يَسُوعُ هَذَا، قَالَ لَهُ: «يَنْقُصُكَ شَيْءٌ وَاحِدٌ: بِعْ كُلَّ مَا عِنْدَكَ، وَوَزِّعْ عَلَى الْفُقَرَاءِ، فَيَكُونَ لَكَ كَنْزٌ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ. ثُمَّ تَعَالَ اتْبَعْنِي!» ٢٢ 22
And receiving this reply, Jesus said to him. "One thing you are still lacking. Sell all that you have and give it to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven. Then come and follow me."
وَلكِنَّهُ لَمَّا سَمِعَ ذلِكَ، حَزِنَ حُزْناً شَدِيداً، لأَنَّهُ كَانَ غَنِيًّا جِدّاً. ٢٣ 23
But when he heard these words he became deeply grieved, for he was exceedingly rich.
فَلَمَّا رَأَى يَسُوعُ ذَلِكَ مِنْهُ، قَالَ: «مَا أَصْعَبَ دُخُولَ الأَغْنِيَاءِ إِلَى مَلَكُوتِ اللهِ! ٢٤ 24
Jesus looked at him and said. "How hard it is for those who have money to enter into the kingdom of God!
فَإِنَّ مُرُورَ جَمَلٍ فِي ثَقْبِ إِبْرَةٍ أَسْهَلُ مِنْ دُخُولِ غَنِيٍّ إِلَى مَلَكُوتِ اللهِ». ٢٥ 25
Why, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God."
فَقَالَ الَّذِينَ سَمِعُوا ذَلِكَ: «إِذَنْ، مَنْ يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يَخْلُصَ؟» ٢٦ 26
"Who then can be saved?" exclaimed his hearers.
فَقَالَ: «إِنَّ الْمُسْتَحِيلَ عِنْدَ النَّاسِ مُسْتَطَاعٌ عِنْدَ اللهِ!» ٢٧ 27
"Things that are impossible with men," he answered them, "are possible with God."
فَقَالَ بُطْرُسُ: «هَا نَحْنُ قَدْ تَرَكْنَا كُلَّ شَيْءٍ وَتَبِعْنَاكَ!» ٢٨ 28
Then Peter said, "Look! we have left our homes and followed you."
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «الحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: مَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ تَرَكَ بَيْتاً، أَوْ زَوْجَةً، أَوْ إِخْوَةً أَوْ وَالِدَيْنِ، أَوْ أَوْلاداً، مِنْ أَجْلِ مَلَكُوتِ اللهِ، ٢٩ 29
And he said to them, "In Solemn truth I tell you that there is no one who, for the sake of the kingdom of God, has left houses, or wife, or brother, or parents, or children,
إِلّا وَيَنَالُ أَضْعَافَ ذَلِكَ فِي هَذَا الزَّمَانِ، وَيَنَالُ فِي الزَّمَانِ الآتِي الْحَيَاةَ الأَبَدِيَّةَ!» (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166) ٣٠ 30
"who shall not certainly receive many times as much in this time, and in the age to come eternal." (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
ثُمَّ انْتَحَى بِالاثْنَيْ عَشَرَ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «هَا نَحْنُ صَاعِدُونَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَسَوْفَ تَتِمُّ جَمِيعُ الأُمُورِ الَّتِي كَتَبَهَا الأَنْبِيَاءُ عَنِ ابْنِ الإِنْسَانِ. ٣١ 31
Then he took the twelve aside and told them. "See, we are on our way to Jerusalem, and all prophets regarding the son of Man will be fulfilled.
فَإِنَّهُ سَيُسَلَّمُ إِلَى أَيْدِي الأُمَمِ، فَيُسْتَهْزَأُ بِهِ وَيُهَانُ وَيُبْصَقُ عَلَيْهِ. ٣٢ 32
"He will be betrayed to the Gentiles, and be mocked, and shamefully treated, and spit upon;
وَبَعْدَ أَنْ يَجْلِدُوهُ يَقْتُلُونَهُ. وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ يَقُومُ!» ٣٣ 33
"and they will scourge and kill him; and the third day he will rise again."
وَلكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَفْهَمُوا شَيْئاً مِنْ ذلِكَ. وَكَانَ هَذَا الأَمْرُ خَافِياً عَنْهُمْ، وَلَمْ يُدْرِكُوا مَا قِيلَ. ٣٤ 34
But they understood none of these sayings. His words were a mystery to them, and they did not know what he meant.
وَلَمَّا وَصَلَ إِلَى جُوَارِ أَرِيحَا، كَانَ أَحَدُ الْعُمْيَانِ جَالِساً عَلَى جَانِبِ الطَّرِيقِ يَسْتَعْطِي. ٣٥ 35
As Jesus drew near to Jericho, there was a blind man who sat by the wayside begging.
فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ مُرُورَ الْجَمْعِ، اسْتَخْبَرَ عَمَّا عَسَى أَنْ يَكُونَ ذَلِكَ. ٣٦ 36
He heard the crowd passing and asked what the matter was.
فَقِيلَ لَهُ: «إِنَّ يَسُوعَ النَّاصِرِيَّ مَارٌّ مِنْ هُنَاكَ». ٣٧ 37
They told him, "Jesus of Nazareth is passing by."
فَنَادَى قَائِلاً «يَا يَسُوعُ ابْنَ دَاوُدَ، ارْحَمْنِي!» ٣٨ 38
Then he shouted out, saying, "Jesus, son of David, take pity on me!"
فَزَجَرَهُ السَّائِرُونَ فِي الْمُقَدِّمَةِ لِيَسْكُتَ. وَلكِنَّهُ أَخَذَ يَزِيدُ صُرَاخاً أَكْثَرَ: «يَا ابْنَ دَاوُدَ، ارْحَمْنِي!» ٣٩ 39
Those who went ahead began to reprove him and to tell him to be still; but he kept clamorously shouting all the more, "Son of David, take pity on me!"
فَتَوَقَّفَ يَسُوعَ وَأَمَرَ أَنْ يُؤْتَى بِهِ إِلَيْهِ. فَلَمَّا اقْتَرَبَ سَأَلَهُ: ٤٠ 40
So Jesus stopped and ordered him to be brought to him. When he was come near to him he asked him
«مَاذَا تُرِيدُ أَنْ أَفْعَلَ لَكَ؟» فَقَالَ: «يَا رَبُّ، أَنْ تَرُدَّ لِي الْبَصَرَ!» ٤١ 41
"What do you want me to do for you?" "Lord," he answered, "that I might see again."
فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «أَبْصِرْ! إِيمَانُكَ قَدْ شَفَاكَ». ٤٢ 42
"Receive your sight," said Jesus, "your faith has saved you."
وَفِي الْحَالِ أَبْصَرَ، وَتَبِعَهُ وَهُوَ يُمَجِّدُ اللهَ. وَلَمَّا رَأَى جَميعُ الشَّعْبِ ذَلِكَ، سَبَّحُوا اللهَ. ٤٣ 43
Instantly he regained his sight and followed Jesus, giving glory to God; and all the people who saw it gave praise to God.
