لُوقا 9
| ثُمَّ جَمَعَ يَسُوعُ الاِثْنَيْ عَشَرَ، وَمَنَحَهُمْ قُدْرَةً وَسُلْطَةً عَلَى جَمِيعِ الشَّيَاطِينِ وَعَلَى الأَمْرَاضِ لِشِفَائِهَا، | ١ 1 |
Then Jesus called the Twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and power to cure diseases.
| وَأَرْسَلَهُمْ لِيُبَشِّرُوا بِمَلَكُوتِ اللهِ وَيَشْفُوا. | ٢ 2 |
And He sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.
| وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «لا تَحْمِلُوا لِلطَّرِيقِ شَيْئاً: لَا عَصاً، وَلا زَاداً، وَلا خُبْزاً، وَلا مَالاً، وَلا يَحْمِلِ الْوَاحِدُ ثَوْبَيْنِ. | ٣ 3 |
“Take nothing for the journey,” He told them, “no staff, no bag, no bread, no money, no second tunic.
| وَأَيَّ بَيْتٍ دَخَلْتُمْ فَهُنَاكَ أَقِيمُوا وَمِنْ هُنَاكَ ارْحَلُوا. | ٤ 4 |
Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave that area.
| وَإِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ لَا يَقْبَلُكُمْ فِي مَدِينَةٍ مَا، فَاخْرُجُوا مِنْ هُنَاكَ، وَانْفُضُوا الْغُبَارَ عَنْ أَقْدَامِكُمْ، شَهَادَةً عَلَيْهِمْ». | ٥ 5 |
If anyone does not welcome you, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that town, as a testimony against them.”
| فَانْطَلَقُوا يَجْتَازُونَ فِي الْقُرَى وَهُمْ يُبَشِّرُونَ وَيَشْفُونَ فِي كُلِّ مَكَانٍ. | ٦ 6 |
So they set out and went from village to village, preaching the gospel and healing people everywhere.
| وَسَمِعَ هِيرُودُسُ حَاكِمُ الرُّبْعِ بِكُلِّ مَا كَانَ يَجْرِي، فَتحَيَّرَ، لأَنَّ بَعْضاً كَانُوا يَقُولُونَ: «إِنَّ يُوحَنَّا قَامَ مِنْ بَيْنِ الأَمْوَاتِ!» | ٧ 7 |
When Herod the tetrarch heard about all that was happening, he was perplexed. For some were saying that John had risen from the dead,
| وَبَعْضاً يَقُولُونَ: «إِنَّ إِيلِيَّا ظَهَرَ!» وَآخَرِينَ: «إِنَّ وَاحِداً مِنَ الأَنْبِيَاءِ الْقُدَامَى قَامَ!» | ٨ 8 |
others that Elijah had appeared, and still others that a prophet of old had arisen.
| فَقَالَ هِيرُودُسُ: «يُوحَنَّا، أَنَا قَطَعْتُ رَأْسَهُ، وَلكِنْ مَنْ هُوَ هَذَا الَّذِي أَسْمَعُ عَنْهُ مِثْلَ هذِهِ الأُمُورِ؟» وَكَانَ يَرْغَبُ فِي أَنْ يَرَاهُ. | ٩ 9 |
“I beheaded John,” Herod said, “but who is this man I hear such things about?” And he kept trying to see Jesus.
| وَبَعْدَمَا رَجَعَ الرُّسُلُ، أَخْبَرُوهُ بِجَمِيعِ مَا فَعَلُوا، فَأَخَذَهُمْ وَذَهَبَ بِهِمْ عَلَى انْفِرَادٍ إِلَى مَدِينَةٍ اسْمُهَا بَيْتُ صَيْدَا. | ١٠ 10 |
Then the apostles returned and reported to Jesus all that they had done. Taking them away privately, He withdrew to a town called Bethsaida.
| وَلكِنَّ الْجُمُوعَ عَلِمُوا بِذَلِكَ فَلَحِقُوا بِهِ، فَاسْتَقْبَلَهُمْ وَحَدَّثَهُمْ عَنْ مَلَكُوتِ اللهِ، وَشَفَى مِنْهُمْ مَنْ كَانُوا مُحْتَاجِينَ إِلَى الشِّفَاءِ. | ١١ 11 |
But the crowds found out and followed Him. He welcomed them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and He healed those who needed healing.
| وَلَمَّا كَادَ النَّهَارُ يَنْقَضِي، تَقَدَّمَ إِلَيْهِ الاثْنَا عَشَرَ وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «اصْرِفِ الْجَمْعَ لِيَذْهَبُوا إِلَى الْقُرَى الْمُجَاوِرَةِ، وَإِلَى الْمَزَارِعِ، فَيَبِيتُوا هُنَاكَ وَيَجِدُوا طَعَاماً، لأَنَّنَا هُنَا فِي مَكَانٍ مُقْفِرٍ!» | ١٢ 12 |
As the day neared its end, the Twelve came to Jesus and said, “Dismiss the crowd so they can go to the surrounding villages and countryside for lodging and provisions. For we are in a desolate place here.”
| فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَعْطُوهُمْ أَنْتُمْ لِيَأْكُلُوا!» أَجَابُوا: «لَيْسَ عِنْدَنَا أَكْثَرُ مِنْ خَمْسَةِ أَرْغِفَةٍ وَسَمَكَتَيْنِ إِلّا إِذَا ذَهَبْنَا وَاشْتَرَيْنَا طَعَاماً لِهَذَا الشَّعْبِ كُلِّهِ». | ١٣ 13 |
But Jesus told them, “You give them something to eat.” “We have only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered, “unless we go and buy food for all these people.”
| فَقَدْ كَانُوا نَحْوَ خَمْسَةِ آلافِ رَجُلٍ. ثُمَّ قَالَ لِتَلامِيذِهِ: «أَجْلِسُوهُمْ فِي جَمَاعَاتٍ تَتَأَلَّفُ كُلٌّ مِنْهَا مِنْ خَمْسِينَ». | ١٤ 14 |
(There were about five thousand men.) He told His disciples, “Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each.”
| فَفَعَلُوا، وَأَجْلَسُوا الْجَمِيعَ. | ١٥ 15 |
They did so, and everyone was seated.
| فَأَخَذَ الأَرْغِفَةَ الْخَمْسَةَ وَالسَّمَكَتَيْنِ، وَرَفَعَ عَيْنَيْهِ نَحْوَ السَّمَاءِ، ثُمَّ بَارَكَهَا وَكَسَّرَهَا وَأَعْطَى التَّلامِيذَ لِيُقَدِّمُوا إِلَى الْجَمْعِ. | ١٦ 16 |
Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, Jesus spoke a blessing and broke them. Then He gave them to the disciples to set before the people.
| فَأَكَلَ الْجَمِيعُ وَشَبِعُوا. ثُمَّ رُفِعَ مِنَ الْكِسَرِ الْفَاضِلَةِ عَنْهُمُ اثْنَتَا عَشْرَةَ قُفَّةً. | ١٧ 17 |
They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.
| وَفِيمَا كَانَ يُصَلِّي عَلَى انْفِرَادٍ وَالتَّلامِيذُ مَعَهُ، سأَلَهُمْ: «مَنْ يَقُولُ الْجُمُوعُ إِنِّي أَنَا؟» | ١٨ 18 |
One day as Jesus was praying in private and the disciples were with Him, He questioned them: “Who do the crowds say I am?”
| فَأَجَابُوهُ: «يَقُولُ بَعْضُهُمْ إِنَّكَ يُوحَنَّا الْمَعْمَدَانُ، وَآخَرُونَ إِنَّكَ إِيِليَّا، وَآخَرُونَ إِنَّكَ وَاحِدٌ مِنَ الأَنْبِيَاءِ الْقُدَامَى وَقَدْ قَامَ!» | ١٩ 19 |
They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, that a prophet of old has arisen.”
| فَسَأَلَهُمْ: «وَأَنْتُمْ، مَنْ تَقُولُونَ إِنِّي أَنَا؟» فَأَجَابَهُ بُطْرُسُ: «أَنْتَ مَسِيحُ اللهِ!». | ٢٠ 20 |
“But what about you?” Jesus asked. “Who do you say I am?” Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”
| وَلكِنَّهُ حَذَّرَهُمْ، مُوْصِياً أَلّا يُخْبِرُوا أَحَداً بِذَلِكَ. | ٢١ 21 |
Jesus strictly warned them not to tell this to anyone.
| وَقَالَ: «لابُدَّ أَنْ يَتَأَلَّمَ ابْنُ الإِنْسَانِ كَثِيراً وَيَرْفُضَهُ الشُّيُوخُ وَرُؤَسَاءُ الْكَهَنَةِ وَالْكَتَبَةُ، وَيُقْتَلَ، وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ يُقَامَ». | ٢٢ 22 |
“The Son of Man must suffer many things,” He said. “He must be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and He must be killed and on the third day be raised to life.”
| ثُمَّ قَالَ لِلْجَمِيعِ: «إِنْ أَرَادَ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يَسِيرَ وَرَائِي، فَلْيُنْكِرْ نَفْسَهُ وَيَحْمِلْ صَلِيبهُ كُلَّ يَوْمِ وَيَتْبَعْنِي. | ٢٣ 23 |
Then Jesus said to all of them, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow Me.
| فَأَيُّ مَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُخَلِّصَ نَفْسَهُ، يَخْسَرُهَا؛ وَلكِنَّ مَنْ يَخْسَرُ نَفْسَهُ مَنْ أَجْلِي، فَهُوَ يُخَلِّصُهَا. | ٢٤ 24 |
For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it.
| فَمَاذَا يَنْتَفِعُ الإِنْسَانُ لَوْ رَبِحَ الْعَالَمَ كُلَّهُ وَخَسِرَ نَفْسَهُ أَوْ أَهْلَكَهَا؟ | ٢٥ 25 |
What does it profit a man to gain the whole world, yet lose or forfeit his very self?
| فَإِنَّ مَنْ يَسْتَحِي بِي وَبِكَلامِي، فَبِهِ يَسْتَحِي ابْنُ الإِنْسَانِ لَدَى عَوْدَتِهِ فِي مَجْدِهِ وَمَجْدِ الآبِ وَالْمَلائِكَةِ الْمُقَدَّسِينَ. | ٢٦ 26 |
If anyone is ashamed of Me and My words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when He comes in His glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.
| وَلكِنِّي أَقُولُ لَكُمْ بِحَقٍّ إِنَّ بَيْنَ الْوَاقِفِينَ هُنَا بَعْضاً لَنْ يَذُوقُوا الْمَوْتَ حَتَّى يَرَوْا مَلَكوتَ اللهِ». | ٢٧ 27 |
But I tell you truthfully, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God.”
| وَحَدَثَ بَعْدَ هَذَا الْكَلامِ بِثَمَانِيَةِ أَيَّامٍ تَقْرِيباً أَنْ أَخَذَ يَسُوعُ بُطْرُسَ وَيُوحَنَّا وَيَعْقُوبَ، وَصَعِدَ إِلَى جَبَلٍ لِيُصَلِّيَ. | ٢٨ 28 |
About eight days after Jesus had said these things, He took with Him Peter, John, and James, and went up on a mountain to pray.
| وَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ يُصَلِّي، تَجَلَّتْ هَيْئَةُ وَجْهِهِ وَصَارَتْ ثِيَابُهُ بَيْضَاءَ لَمَّاعَةً. | ٢٩ 29 |
And as He was praying, the appearance of His face changed, and His clothes became radiantly white.
| وَإذَا رَجُلانِ يَتَحَدَّثَانِ مَعَهُ، هُمَا مُوسَى وَإِيلِيَّا، | ٣٠ 30 |
Suddenly two men, Moses and Elijah, began talking with Jesus.
| وَقَدْ ظَهَرَا بِمَجْدٍ وَتَكَلَّمَا عَنْ رَحِيلِهِ الَّذِي كَانَ عَلَى وَشْكِ إِتْمَامِهِ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ. | ٣١ 31 |
They appeared in glory and spoke about His departure, which He was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.
| وَمَعَ أَنَّ بُطْرُسَ وَرَفِيقَيْهِ قَدْ غَالَبَهُمُ النَّوْمُ، فَإِنَّهُمْ حِينَ اسْتَيْقَظُوا تَمَاماً، شَاهَدُوا مَجْدَهُ وَالرَّجُلَيْنِ الْوَاقِفَيْنِ مَعَهُ. | ٣٢ 32 |
Meanwhile Peter and his companions were overcome by sleep, but when they awoke, they saw Jesus’ glory and the two men standing with Him.
| وَفِيمَا كَانَا يُفَارِقَانِهِ، قَالَ بُطْرُسُ لِيَسُوعَ: «يَا مُعَلِّمُ، مَا أَحْسَنَ أَنْ نَبْقَى هُنَا! فَلْنَنْصُبْ ثَلاثَ خِيَامٍ: وَاحِدَةً لَكَ، وَوَاحِدَةً لِمُوسَى، وَوَاحِدَةً لإِيلِيَّا» وَهُوَ لَا يَدْرِي مَا يَقُولُ. | ٣٣ 33 |
As Moses and Elijah were leaving, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters —one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” (He did not know what he was saying.)
| وَلكِنَّهُ فِيمَا كَانَ يَقُولُ ذلِكَ، جَاءَتْ سَحَابَةٌ فَخَيَّمَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ، فَخَافَ التَّلامِيذُ عِنْدَمَا طَوَّقَتْهُمُ السَّحَابَةُ، | ٣٤ 34 |
While Peter was speaking, a cloud appeared and enveloped them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud.
| وَانْطَلَقَ صَوْتٌ مِنَ السَّحَابَةِ يَقُولُ: «هَذَا هُوَ ابْنِي الَّذِي اخْتَرْتُهُ. لَهُ اسْمَعُوا!» | ٣٥ 35 |
And a voice came from the cloud, saying, “This is My Son, whom I have chosen. Listen to Him!”
| وَفِيمَا انْطَلَقَ الصَّوْتُ، وُجِدَ يَسُوعُ وَحْدَهُ. وَقَدْ كَتَمُوا الْخَبَرَ فَلَمْ يُخْبِرُوا أَحَداً فِي تِلْكَ الأَيَّامِ بِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ مِمَّا رَأَوْهُ. | ٣٦ 36 |
After the voice had spoken, only Jesus was present with them. The disciples kept this to themselves, and in those days they did not tell anyone what they had seen.
| وَفِي الْيَوْمِ التَّالِي، لَمَّا نَزَلُوا مِنَ الْجَبَلِ، لاقَاهُ جَمْعٌ عَظِيمٌ. | ٣٧ 37 |
The next day, when they came down from the mountain, Jesus was met by a large crowd.
| وَإذَا فِي الْجَمْعِ رَجُلٌ نَادَى قَائِلاً: «يَا مُعَلِّمُ، أَتَوَسَّلُ إِلَيْكَ أَنْ تَنْظُرَ إِلَى ابْنِي، فَإِنَّهُ وَلَدِي الْوَحِيدُ. | ٣٨ 38 |
Suddenly a man in the crowd cried out, “Teacher, I beg You to look at my son, for he is my only child.
| وَهَا إِنَّ رُوحاً يَتَمَلَّكُهُ، فَيَصْرُخُ فَجْأَةً، وَيَصْرَعُهُ الرُّوحُ فَيُزْبِدُ، وَبِالْجَهْدِ يُفَارِقُهُ بَعْدَ أَنْ يُرَضِّضَهُ. | ٣٩ 39 |
A spirit keeps seizing him, and he screams abruptly. It throws him into convulsions so that he foams at the mouth. It keeps mauling him and rarely departs from him.
| وَقَدِ الْتَمَسْتُ مِنْ تَلامِيذِكَ أَنْ يَطْرُدُوهُ، فَلَمْ يَقْدِرُوا». | ٤٠ 40 |
I begged Your disciples to drive it out, but they were unable.”
| فَأَجَابَ يَسُوعُ قَائِلاً: «أَيُّهَا الْجِيلُ غَيْرُ الْمُؤْمِنِ وَالْمُنْحَرِفُ! إِلَى مَتَى أَبْقَى مَعَكُمْ وَأَحْتَمِلُكُمْ؟» (وَقَالَ لِلرَّجُلِ): «أَحْضِرِ ابْنَكَ إِلَى هُنَا!» | ٤١ 41 |
“O unbelieving and perverse generation!” Jesus replied. “How long must I remain with you and put up with you? Bring your son here.”
| وَفِيمَا الْوَلَدُ آتٍ، صَرَعَهُ الشَّيْطَانُ وَخَبَطَهُ بِعُنْفٍ. فَزَجَرَ يَسُوعُ الرُّوحَ النَّجِسَ، وَشَفَى الْوَلَدَ وَسَلَّمَهُ إِلَى أَبِيهِ. | ٤٢ 42 |
Even while the boy was approaching, the demon slammed him to the ground in a convulsion. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.
| فَذُهِلَ الْجَمِيعُ مِنْ عَظَمَةِ اللهِ. وَبَيْنَمَا كَانَ الْجَمِيعُ يَتَعَجَّبُونَ مِنْ كُلِّ مَا عَمِلَهُ يَسُوعُ، قَالَ لِتَلامِيذِهِ: | ٤٣ 43 |
And they were all astonished at the greatness of God. While everyone was marveling at all that Jesus was doing, He said to His disciples,
| «لِتَدْخُلْ هذِهِ الْكَلِمَاتُ آذَانَكُمْ: إِنَّ ابْنَ الإِنْسَانِ عَلَى وَشْكِ أَنْ يُسَلَّمَ إِلَى أَيْدِي النَّاسِ!» | ٤٤ 44 |
“Let these words sink into your ears: The Son of Man is about to be delivered into the hands of men.”
| إِلّا أَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَفْهَمُوا هَذَا الْقَوْلَ، وَقَدْ أُغْلِقَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَلَمْ يُدْرِكُوهُ، وَخَافُوا أَنْ يَسْأَلُوهُ عَنْهُ. | ٤٥ 45 |
But they did not understand this statement. It was veiled from them so that they could not comprehend it, and they were afraid to ask Him about it.
| وَحَدَثَ بَيْنَهُمْ جِدَالٌ حَوْلَ مَنْ هُوَ الأَعْظَمُ فِيهِمْ. | ٤٦ 46 |
Then an argument started among the disciples as to which of them would be the greatest.
| فَإِذْ عَلِمَ يَسُوعُ نِيَّاتِ قُلُوبِهِمْ، أَخَذَ وَلَداً صَغِيراً وَأَوْقَفَهُ بِجَانِبِهِ، | ٤٧ 47 |
But Jesus, knowing the thoughts of their hearts, had a little child stand beside Him.
| وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَيُّ مَنْ قَبِلَ بِاسْمِي هَذَا الْوَلَدَ الصَّغِيرَ، فَقَدْ قَبِلَنِي؛ وَمَنْ قَبِلَنِي، يَقْبَلُ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي. فَإِنَّ مَنْ كَانَ الأَصْغَرَ بَيْنَكُمْ جَمِيعاً، فَهُوَ الْعَظِيمُ». | ٤٨ 48 |
And He said to them, “Whoever welcomes this little child in My name welcomes Me, and whoever welcomes Me welcomes the One who sent Me. For whoever is the least among all of you, he is the greatest.”
| وَتَكَلَّمَ يُوحَنَّا فَقَالَ: «يَا سَيِّدُ، رَأَيْنَا وَاحِداً يَطْرُدُ الشَّيَاطِينَ بِاسْمِكَ، فَمَنَعْنَاهُ لأَنَّهُ لَا يَتْبَعُكَ مَعَنَا». | ٤٩ 49 |
“Master,” said John, “we saw someone driving out demons in Your name, and we tried to stop him, because he does not accompany us.”
| فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «لا تَمْنَعُوهُ: لأَنَّ مَنْ لَيْسَ ضِدَّكُمْ، فَهُوَ مَعَكُمْ!» | ٥٠ 50 |
“Do not stop him,” Jesus replied, “for whoever is not against you is for you.”
| وَلَمَّا تَمَّتِ الأَيَّامُ لارْتِفَاعِهِ، صَمَّمَ بِعَزْمٍ عَلَى الْمُضِيِّ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ. | ٥١ 51 |
As the day of His ascension approached, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem.
| فَأَرْسَلَ قُدَّامَهُ بَعْضَ الرُّسُلِ. فَذَهَبُوا وَدَخَلُوا قَرْيَةً لِلسَّامِرِيِّينَ، لِيُعِدُّوا لَهُ (مَنْزِلاً فِيهَا). | ٥٢ 52 |
He sent messengers on ahead, who went into a village of the Samaritans to make arrangements for Him.
| وَلكِنَّهُمْ رَفَضُوا اسْتِقْبَالَهُ لأَنَّهُ كَانَ مُتَّجِهاً صَوْبَ أُورُشَلِيمَ. | ٥٣ 53 |
But the people there refused to welcome Him, because He was heading for Jerusalem.
| فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذلِكَ تِلْمِيذَاهُ يَعْقُوبُ وَيُوحَنَّا، قَالا: «يَا رَبُّ، أَتُرِيدُ أَنْ نَأْمُرَ بِأَنْ تَنْزِلَ النَّارُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَتَلْتَهِمَهُمْ؟» | ٥٤ 54 |
When the disciples James and John saw this, they asked, “Lord, do You want us to call down fire from heaven to consume them?”
| فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَيْهِمَا وَوَبَّخَهُمَا قَائِلاً: «لا تَعْلَمَانِ مَنْ أَيِّ رُوحٍ أَنْتُمَا، | ٥٥ 55 |
But Jesus turned and rebuked them.
| لأَنَّ ابْنَ الإِنْسَانِ أَتَى لَا لِيُهْلِكَ نُفُوسَ الَّنَاسِ، بَلْ لِيُخَلِّصَهَا.» ثُمَّ ذَهَبُوا إِلَى قَرْيَةٍ أُخْرَى. | ٥٦ 56 |
And He and His disciples went on to another village.
| وَبَيْنَمَا كَانُوا سَائِرِينَ فِي الطَّرِيقِ، قَالَ لَهُ أَحَدُ النَّاسِ: «يَا سَيِّدُ، سَأَتْبَعُكَ أَيْنَمَا تَذْهَبُ!» | ٥٧ 57 |
As they were walking along the road, someone said to Jesus, “I will follow You wherever You go.”
| فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «لِلثَّعَالِبِ أَوْجَارٌ، وَلِطُيُورِ السَّمَاءِ أَوْكَارٌ؛ وَأَمَّا ابْنُ الإِنْسَانِ فَلَيْسَ لَهُ مَكَانٌ يُسْنِدُ إِلَيْهِ رَأْسَهُ». | ٥٨ 58 |
Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay His head.”
| وَقَالَ لِغَيْرِهِ: «اتْبَعْنِي!» وَلكِنَّ هَذَا قَالَ: «يَا سَيِّدُ، اسْمَحْ لِي أَنْ أَذْهَبَ أَوَّلاً وَأَدْفِنَ أَبِي!» | ٥٩ 59 |
Then He said to another man, “Follow Me.” The man replied, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”
| فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «دَعِ الْمَوْتَى يَدْفِنُونَ مَوْتَاهُمْ، وَأَمَّا أَنْتَ فَاذْهَبْ وَبَشِّرْ بِمَلَكُوتِ اللهِ». | ٦٠ 60 |
But Jesus told him, “Let the dead bury their own dead. You, however, go and proclaim the kingdom of God.”
| وَقَالَ لَهُ آخَرُ: «يَا سَيِّدُ، سَأَتْبَعُكَ، وَلكِنِ اسْمَحْ لِي أَوَّلاً أَنْ أُوَدِّعَ أَهْلَ بَيْتِي!» | ٦١ 61 |
Still another said, “I will follow You, Lord; but first let me bid farewell to my family.”
| فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «مَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ يَضَعُ يَدَهُ عَلَى الْمِحْرَاثِ وَيَلْتَفِتُ إِلَى الْوَرَاءِ، يَصْلُحُ لِمَلَكُوتِ اللهِ». | ٦٢ 62 |
Then Jesus declared, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and then looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.”
