< لُوقا 9 >

ثُمَّ جَمَعَ يَسُوعُ الاِثْنَيْ عَشَرَ، وَمَنَحَهُمْ قُدْرَةً وَسُلْطَةً عَلَى جَمِيعِ الشَّيَاطِينِ وَعَلَى الأَمْرَاضِ لِشِفَائِهَا، ١ 1
Jesus called the Twelve together, and gave them power and authority over all demons, as well as to cure diseases.
وَأَرْسَلَهُمْ لِيُبَشِّرُوا بِمَلَكُوتِ اللهِ وَيَشْفُوا. ٢ 2
He sent them out as his messengers, to proclaim the kingdom of God, and to work cures.
وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «لا تَحْمِلُوا لِلطَّرِيقِ شَيْئاً: لَا عَصاً، وَلا زَاداً، وَلا خُبْزاً، وَلا مَالاً، وَلا يَحْمِلِ الْوَاحِدُ ثَوْبَيْنِ. ٣ 3
“Do not,” he said to them, “take anything for your journey; not even a staff, or a bag, or bread, or any silver, or a change of clothes with you.
وَأَيَّ بَيْتٍ دَخَلْتُمْ فَهُنَاكَ أَقِيمُوا وَمِنْ هُنَاكَ ارْحَلُوا. ٤ 4
Whatever house you go to stay in, remain there, and leave from that place.
وَإِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ لَا يَقْبَلُكُمْ فِي مَدِينَةٍ مَا، فَاخْرُجُوا مِنْ هُنَاكَ، وَانْفُضُوا الْغُبَارَ عَنْ أَقْدَامِكُمْ، شَهَادَةً عَلَيْهِمْ». ٥ 5
If people do not welcome you, as you leave that town, shake even the dust off your feet, as a protest against them.”
فَانْطَلَقُوا يَجْتَازُونَ فِي الْقُرَى وَهُمْ يُبَشِّرُونَ وَيَشْفُونَ فِي كُلِّ مَكَانٍ. ٦ 6
Then they set out and went from village to village, telling the good news and curing people everywhere.
وَسَمِعَ هِيرُودُسُ حَاكِمُ الرُّبْعِ بِكُلِّ مَا كَانَ يَجْرِي، فَتحَيَّرَ، لأَنَّ بَعْضاً كَانُوا يَقُولُونَ: «إِنَّ يُوحَنَّا قَامَ مِنْ بَيْنِ الأَمْوَاتِ!» ٧ 7
Herod the ruler heard of all that was happening, and was perplexed, because it was said by some that John must be risen from the dead.
وَبَعْضاً يَقُولُونَ: «إِنَّ إِيلِيَّا ظَهَرَ!» وَآخَرِينَ: «إِنَّ وَاحِداً مِنَ الأَنْبِيَاءِ الْقُدَامَى قَامَ!» ٨ 8
Some again said that Elijah had appeared, and others that one of the old prophets had risen again.
فَقَالَ هِيرُودُسُ: «يُوحَنَّا، أَنَا قَطَعْتُ رَأْسَهُ، وَلكِنْ مَنْ هُوَ هَذَا الَّذِي أَسْمَعُ عَنْهُ مِثْلَ هذِهِ الأُمُورِ؟» وَكَانَ يَرْغَبُ فِي أَنْ يَرَاهُ. ٩ 9
But Herod himself said, “John I beheaded; but who is this of whom I hear such things?” And he endeavored to see him.
وَبَعْدَمَا رَجَعَ الرُّسُلُ، أَخْبَرُوهُ بِجَمِيعِ مَا فَعَلُوا، فَأَخَذَهُمْ وَذَهَبَ بِهِمْ عَلَى انْفِرَادٍ إِلَى مَدِينَةٍ اسْمُهَا بَيْتُ صَيْدَا. ١٠ 10
When the apostles returned, they related to Jesus all that they had done. Then Jesus went privately to a town called Bethsaida, taking the apostles with him.
وَلكِنَّ الْجُمُوعَ عَلِمُوا بِذَلِكَ فَلَحِقُوا بِهِ، فَاسْتَقْبَلَهُمْ وَحَدَّثَهُمْ عَنْ مَلَكُوتِ اللهِ، وَشَفَى مِنْهُمْ مَنْ كَانُوا مُحْتَاجِينَ إِلَى الشِّفَاءِ. ١١ 11
But the people recognized him and followed him in crowds; and Jesus welcomed them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, while he cured those who were in need of help.
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
The day was drawing to a close, when the twelve came up to him, and said, “Send the crowd away, so that they may make their way to the villages and farms around about, and find themselves lodgings and provisions, for we are in a lonely spot 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 said, “It is for you to give them something to eat.” “We have not more than five loaves and two fish,” they answered. “Unless indeed we are to 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
(For the men among them were about five thousand.) “Get them seated in companies,” was his reply, “about fifty in each.”
فَفَعَلُوا، وَأَجْلَسُوا الْجَمِيعَ. ١٥ 15
This they did, and got all the people 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, Jesus looked up to heaven and said the blessing over them. Then he broke them in pieces, and gave them to his disciples to set before the people.
فَأَكَلَ الْجَمِيعُ وَشَبِعُوا. ثُمَّ رُفِعَ مِنَ الْكِسَرِ الْفَاضِلَةِ عَنْهُمُ اثْنَتَا عَشْرَةَ قُفَّةً. ١٧ 17
Everyone had sufficient to eat, and what was left of the broken pieces was picked up – twelve baskets.
وَفِيمَا كَانَ يُصَلِّي عَلَى انْفِرَادٍ وَالتَّلامِيذُ مَعَهُ، سأَلَهُمْ: «مَنْ يَقُولُ الْجُمُوعُ إِنِّي أَنَا؟» ١٨ 18
Afterward, when Jesus was alone, praying, his disciples joined him, and he asked them this question – “Who do the people say that I am?”
فَأَجَابُوهُ: «يَقُولُ بَعْضُهُمْ إِنَّكَ يُوحَنَّا الْمَعْمَدَانُ، وَآخَرُونَ إِنَّكَ إِيِليَّا، وَآخَرُونَ إِنَّكَ وَاحِدٌ مِنَ الأَنْبِيَاءِ الْقُدَامَى وَقَدْ قَامَ!» ١٩ 19
“John the Baptist,” was their answer. “Others, however, say that you are Elijah, while others say that one of the old prophets has risen again.”
فَسَأَلَهُمْ: «وَأَنْتُمْ، مَنْ تَقُولُونَ إِنِّي أَنَا؟» فَأَجَابَهُ بُطْرُسُ: «أَنْتَ مَسِيحُ اللهِ!». ٢٠ 20
“But you,” he went on, “who do you say that I am?” And to this Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”
وَلكِنَّهُ حَذَّرَهُمْ، مُوْصِياً أَلّا يُخْبِرُوا أَحَداً بِذَلِكَ. ٢١ 21
Jesus, however, strictly charged them not to say this to anyone;
وَقَالَ: «لابُدَّ أَنْ يَتَأَلَّمَ ابْنُ الإِنْسَانِ كَثِيراً وَيَرْفُضَهُ الشُّيُوخُ وَرُؤَسَاءُ الْكَهَنَةِ وَالْكَتَبَةُ، وَيُقْتَلَ، وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ يُقَامَ». ٢٢ 22
he told them that the Son of Man must undergo much suffering, and be rejected by the elders, and chief priests, and teachers of the Law, and be put to death, and rise on the third day.
ثُمَّ قَالَ لِلْجَمِيعِ: «إِنْ أَرَادَ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يَسِيرَ وَرَائِي، فَلْيُنْكِرْ نَفْسَهُ وَيَحْمِلْ صَلِيبهُ كُلَّ يَوْمِ وَيَتْبَعْنِي. ٢٣ 23
And to all present he said, “If any one wishes to walk in my steps, they must renounce self, and take up their cross daily, and follow me.
فَأَيُّ مَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُخَلِّصَ نَفْسَهُ، يَخْسَرُهَا؛ وَلكِنَّ مَنْ يَخْسَرُ نَفْسَهُ مَنْ أَجْلِي، فَهُوَ يُخَلِّصُهَا. ٢٤ 24
For whoever wishes to save their life will lose it, and whoever, for my sake, loses his life – that person will save it.
فَمَاذَا يَنْتَفِعُ الإِنْسَانُ لَوْ رَبِحَ الْعَالَمَ كُلَّهُ وَخَسِرَ نَفْسَهُ أَوْ أَهْلَكَهَا؟ ٢٥ 25
What good does it do someone if, when they has gained the whole world, they has lost or forfeited themselves?
فَإِنَّ مَنْ يَسْتَحِي بِي وَبِكَلامِي، فَبِهِ يَسْتَحِي ابْنُ الإِنْسَانِ لَدَى عَوْدَتِهِ فِي مَجْدِهِ وَمَجْدِ الآبِ وَالْمَلائِكَةِ الْمُقَدَّسِينَ. ٢٦ 26
Whoever is ashamed of me and of my teaching, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them, when he comes in his glory and 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
Indeed, I tell you, some who are standing before me will not know death, until they have seen 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 speaking these words, Jesus went up the mountain to pray, taking with him Peter, John, and James.
وَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ يُصَلِّي، تَجَلَّتْ هَيْئَةُ وَجْهِهِ وَصَارَتْ ثِيَابُهُ بَيْضَاءَ لَمَّاعَةً. ٢٩ 29
As he was praying, the aspect of his face was changed, and his clothing became a dazzling white.
وَإذَا رَجُلانِ يَتَحَدَّثَانِ مَعَهُ، هُمَا مُوسَى وَإِيلِيَّا، ٣٠ 30
And all at once two men were talking with Jesus; they were Moses and Elijah,
وَقَدْ ظَهَرَا بِمَجْدٍ وَتَكَلَّمَا عَنْ رَحِيلِهِ الَّذِي كَانَ عَلَى وَشْكِ إِتْمَامِهِ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ. ٣١ 31
who appeared in a glorified state, and spoke of his departure, which was destined to take place at Jerusalem.
وَمَعَ أَنَّ بُطْرُسَ وَرَفِيقَيْهِ قَدْ غَالَبَهُمُ النَّوْمُ، فَإِنَّهُمْ حِينَ اسْتَيْقَظُوا تَمَاماً، شَاهَدُوا مَجْدَهُ وَالرَّجُلَيْنِ الْوَاقِفَيْنِ مَعَهُ. ٣٢ 32
Peter and his companions had been overpowered by sleep but, suddenly becoming wide awake, they saw Jesus glorified and the two men who were standing beside 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
And, as Moses and Elijah were passing away from Jesus, Peter exclaimed, “Sir, it is good to be here; let us make three tents, one for you, and 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
and, while he was speaking, a cloud came down and enveloped them; and they were afraid, as they passed into the cloud;
وَانْطَلَقَ صَوْتٌ مِنَ السَّحَابَةِ يَقُولُ: «هَذَا هُوَ ابْنِي الَّذِي اخْتَرْتُهُ. لَهُ اسْمَعُوا!» ٣٥ 35
and from the cloud came a voice which said – “This is my Son, the Chosen One; him you must hear.”
وَفِيمَا انْطَلَقَ الصَّوْتُ، وُجِدَ يَسُوعُ وَحْدَهُ. وَقَدْ كَتَمُوا الْخَبَرَ فَلَمْ يُخْبِرُوا أَحَداً فِي تِلْكَ الأَيَّامِ بِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ مِمَّا رَأَوْهُ. ٣٦ 36
And, as the voice ceased, Jesus was found alone. The apostles kept silence, and told no one about any of the things that they had seen.
وَفِي الْيَوْمِ التَّالِي، لَمَّا نَزَلُوا مِنَ الْجَبَلِ، لاقَاهُ جَمْعٌ عَظِيمٌ. ٣٧ 37
The next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great crowd met Jesus.
وَإذَا فِي الْجَمْعِ رَجُلٌ نَادَى قَائِلاً: «يَا مُعَلِّمُ، أَتَوَسَّلُ إِلَيْكَ أَنْ تَنْظُرَ إِلَى ابْنِي، فَإِنَّهُ وَلَدِي الْوَحِيدُ. ٣٨ 38
And just then a man in the crowd shouted out, “Teacher, I entreat 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
all at once a spirit will seize him, suddenly shriek out, and throw him into convulsions until he foams, and will leave him only when he is utterly exhausted.
وَقَدِ الْتَمَسْتُ مِنْ تَلامِيذِكَ أَنْ يَطْرُدُوهُ، فَلَمْ يَقْدِرُوا». ٤٠ 40
I entreated your disciples to drive the spirit out, but they could not.”
فَأَجَابَ يَسُوعُ قَائِلاً: «أَيُّهَا الْجِيلُ غَيْرُ الْمُؤْمِنِ وَالْمُنْحَرِفُ! إِلَى مَتَى أَبْقَى مَعَكُمْ وَأَحْتَمِلُكُمْ؟» (وَقَالَ لِلرَّجُلِ): «أَحْضِرِ ابْنَكَ إِلَى هُنَا!» ٤١ 41
“Faithless and perverse generation!” Jesus exclaimed, “How long must I be with you and have patience with you? Lead your son here.”
وَفِيمَا الْوَلَدُ آتٍ، صَرَعَهُ الشَّيْطَانُ وَخَبَطَهُ بِعُنْفٍ. فَزَجَرَ يَسُوعُ الرُّوحَ النَّجِسَ، وَشَفَى الْوَلَدَ وَسَلَّمَهُ إِلَى أَبِيهِ. ٤٢ 42
While the boy was coming up to Jesus, the demon dashed him down and threw him into convulsions. But Jesus rebuked the foul spirit, and cured 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 all present were struck with awe at the majesty of God. In the midst of the general astonishment 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
“Listen carefully to my words. For the Son of Man is destined to be betrayed into the hands of his fellow men.”
إِلّا أَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَفْهَمُوا هَذَا الْقَوْلَ، وَقَدْ أُغْلِقَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَلَمْ يُدْرِكُوهُ، وَخَافُوا أَنْ يَسْأَلُوهُ عَنْهُ. ٤٥ 45
But the disciples did not understand the meaning of this; it had been concealed from them so that they did not see it, and they were afraid to question him as to what he meant.
وَحَدَثَ بَيْنَهُمْ جِدَالٌ حَوْلَ مَنْ هُوَ الأَعْظَمُ فِيهِمْ. ٤٦ 46
A discussion arose among the disciples as to which of them was the greatest;
فَإِذْ عَلِمَ يَسُوعُ نِيَّاتِ قُلُوبِهِمْ، أَخَذَ وَلَداً صَغِيراً وَأَوْقَفَهُ بِجَانِبِهِ، ٤٧ 47
and Jesus, knowing of the discussion that was occupying their thoughts, took hold of a little child, and placed it 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 then said to them, “Anyone who, for the sake of my name, welcomes even this little child is welcoming me; and anyone who welcomes me is welcoming him who sent me as his messenger. For whoever is least among you all – that person is great.”
وَتَكَلَّمَ يُوحَنَّا فَقَالَ: «يَا سَيِّدُ، رَأَيْنَا وَاحِداً يَطْرُدُ الشَّيَاطِينَ بِاسْمِكَ، فَمَنَعْنَاهُ لأَنَّهُ لَا يَتْبَعُكَ مَعَنَا». ٤٩ 49
John said, “Sir, we saw a man driving out demons by using your name, and we tried to prevent him, because he does not follow you with us.”
فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «لا تَمْنَعُوهُ: لأَنَّ مَنْ لَيْسَ ضِدَّكُمْ، فَهُوَ مَعَكُمْ!» ٥٠ 50
“None of you must prevent him,” Jesus said to John, “whoever is not against you is for you.”
وَلَمَّا تَمَّتِ الأَيَّامُ لارْتِفَاعِهِ، صَمَّمَ بِعَزْمٍ عَلَى الْمُضِيِّ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ. ٥١ 51
As the days before his being taken up to heaven were growing few, Jesus set his face resolutely in the direction of Jerusalem; and he sent on messengers in advance.
فَأَرْسَلَ قُدَّامَهُ بَعْضَ الرُّسُلِ. فَذَهَبُوا وَدَخَلُوا قَرْيَةً لِلسَّامِرِيِّينَ، لِيُعِدُّوا لَهُ (مَنْزِلاً فِيهَا). ٥٢ 52
On their way, they went into a Samaritan village to make preparations for him,
وَلكِنَّهُمْ رَفَضُوا اسْتِقْبَالَهُ لأَنَّهُ كَانَ مُتَّجِهاً صَوْبَ أُورُشَلِيمَ. ٥٣ 53
but the people there did not welcome him, because his face was set in the direction of Jerusalem.
فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذلِكَ تِلْمِيذَاهُ يَعْقُوبُ وَيُوحَنَّا، قَالا: «يَا رَبُّ، أَتُرِيدُ أَنْ نَأْمُرَ بِأَنْ تَنْزِلَ النَّارُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَتَلْتَهِمَهُمْ؟» ٥٤ 54
When James and John saw this, they said, “Master, do you wish us to call for fire to come down from the heavens and 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 they made their way to another village.
وَبَيْنَمَا كَانُوا سَائِرِينَ فِي الطَّرِيقِ، قَالَ لَهُ أَحَدُ النَّاسِ: «يَا سَيِّدُ، سَأَتْبَعُكَ أَيْنَمَا تَذْهَبُ!» ٥٧ 57
And, while they were on their way, a man 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
“Foxes have holes,” he replied, “and wild birds their nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.”
وَقَالَ لِغَيْرِهِ: «اتْبَعْنِي!» وَلكِنَّ هَذَا قَالَ: «يَا سَيِّدُ، اسْمَحْ لِي أَنْ أَذْهَبَ أَوَّلاً وَأَدْفِنَ أَبِي!» ٥٩ 59
To another man Jesus said, “Follow me.” “Let me first go and bury my father,” said the man.
فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «دَعِ الْمَوْتَى يَدْفِنُونَ مَوْتَاهُمْ، وَأَمَّا أَنْتَ فَاذْهَبْ وَبَشِّرْ بِمَلَكُوتِ اللهِ». ٦٠ 60
But Jesus said, “Leave the dead to bury their dead; but go yourself and carry far and wide the news of the kingdom of God.”
وَقَالَ لَهُ آخَرُ: «يَا سَيِّدُ، سَأَتْبَعُكَ، وَلكِنِ اسْمَحْ لِي أَوَّلاً أَنْ أُوَدِّعَ أَهْلَ بَيْتِي!» ٦١ 61
“Master,” said another, “I will follow you; but first let me say goodbye to my family.”
فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «مَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ يَضَعُ يَدَهُ عَلَى الْمِحْرَاثِ وَيَلْتَفِتُ إِلَى الْوَرَاءِ، يَصْلُحُ لِمَلَكُوتِ اللهِ». ٦٢ 62
But Jesus answered, “No one who looks back, after putting their hand to the plow, is fitted for the kingdom of God.”
