مَتَّى 10

١ 1 ثُمَّ دَعَا إِلَيْهِ تَلامِيذَهُ الاثْنَيْ عَشَرَ، وَأَعْطَاهُمْ سُلْطَانَاً عَلَى الأَرْوَاحِ النَّجِسَةِ لِيَطْرُدُوهَا وَيَشْفُوا كُلَّ مَرَضٍ وَعِلَّةٍ.

Then Jesus summoned his twelve disciples and gave them authority to cast out unclean spirits and to heal every disease and every sickness.

٢ 2 وَهَذِهِ أَسْمَاءُ الِاثْنَيْ عَشَرَ رَسُولاً: سِمْعَانُ الَّذِي دُعِيَ بُطْرُسَ، وَأَنْدَرَاوُسُ أَخُوهُ، وَيَعْقُوبُ بْنُ زَبَدِي، وَيُوحَنَّا أَخُوهُ؛

Now these are the names of the twelve apostles: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;

٣ 3 فِيلِبُّسُ، وَبَرْثُلْمَاوُسُ؛ تُومَا، وَمَتَّى جَابِي الضَّرَائِبِ؛ يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ حَلْفَى، وَتَدَّاوُسُ؛

Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, who was given the name Thaddaeus;

٤ 4 سِمْعَانُ الْقَانَوِيُّ؛ وَيَهُوذَا الإِسْخَرْيُوطِيُّ الَّذِي خَانَهُ.

Simon the Cananite, and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.

٥ 5 هؤُلاءِ الاِثْنَا عَشَرَ رَسُولاً، أَرْسَلَهُمْ يَسُوعُ وَقَدْ أَوْصَاهُمْ قَائِلاً: «لا تَسْلُكُوا طَرِيقاً إِلَى الأُمَمِ، وَلا تَدْخُلُوا مَدِينَةً سَامِرِيَّةً.

These twelve Jesus sent out, instructing them, “Do not go anywhere among the Gentiles, and do not enter any town of the Samaritans,

٦ 6 بَلِ اذْهَبُوا بِالأَوْلَى إِلَى الْخِرَافِ الضَّالَّةِ، إِلَى بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

٧ 7 وَفِيمَا أَنْتُمْ ذَاهِبُونَ، بَشِّرُوا قَائِلِينَ: قَدِ اقْتَرَبَ مَلَكُوتُ السَّمَاوَاتِ.

As you go, preach that the kingdom of heaven has drawn near.

٨ 8 اشْفُوا الْمَرْضَى، وَأَقِيمُوا الْمَوْتَى، وَطَهِّرُوا الْبُرْصَ، وَاطْرُدُوا الشَّيَاطِينَ. مَجَّاناً أَخَذْتُمْ، فَمَجَّاناً أَعْطُوا!

Heal the sick, cleanse lepers, and cast out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.

٩ 9 لَا تَحْمِلُوا فِي أَحْزِمَتِكُمْ ذَهَباً وَلا فِضَّةً وَلا نُحَاساً،

Take no gold, silver, or copper in your belts.

١٠ 10 وَلا تَأْخُذُوا لِلطَّرِيقِ زَاداً وَلا ثَوْبَيْنِ وَلا حِذَاءً وَلا عَصاً: فَإِنَّ الْعَامِلَ يَسْتَحِقُّ طَعَامَهُ.

Take no knapsack for your journey, no extra tunic, sandals, or staffs, for the worker is worthy of his food.

١١ 11 وَكُلَّمَا دَخَلْتُمْ مَدِينَةً أَوْ قَرْيَةً، فَابْحَثُوا فِيهَا عَمَّنْ هُوَ مُسْتَحِقٌّ، وَأَقِيمُوا هُنَاكَ حَتَّى تَرْحَلُوا.

Whenever you enter a town or village, inquire who in it is worthy, and stay there until you leave that place.

١٢ 12 وَعِنْدَمَا تَدْخُلُونَ بَيْتاً، أَلْقُوا السَّلامَ عَلَيْهِ.

As you enter the house, greet the people who live there.

١٣ 13 فَإِذَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ الْبَيْتُ مُسْتَحِقّاً فِعْلاً، فَلْيَحِلَّ سَلامُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ. وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ مُسْتَحِقّاً، فَلْيَرْجِعْ سَلامُكُمْ لَكُمْ

If the household is worthy, let your peace come upon it; but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you.

١٤ 14 وَإِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ لَا يَقْبَلُكُمْ وَلا يَسْمَعُ كَلامَكُمْ فِي بَيْتٍ أَوْ مَدِينَةٍ، فَاخْرُجُوا مِنْ هُنَاكَ، وَانْفُضُوا الْغُبَارَ عَنْ أَقَدَامِكُمْ.

If anyone will not receive you or listen to your words, shake off the dust from your feet as you go out from that house or town.

١٥ 15 الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ حَالَةَ مَدِينَتَيْ سَدُومَ وَعَمُورَةَ سَوْفَ تَكُونُ فِي يَوْمِ الدَّيْنُونَةِ أَخَفَّ وَطْأَةً مِنْ حَالَةِ تِلْكَ الْمَدِينَةِ.

Truly I say to you, it will be more tolerable on the day of judgment for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah than for that town.

١٦ 16 هَا أَنَا أُرْسِلُكُمْ مِثْلَ الْخِرَافِ بَيْنَ الذِّئَابِ، فَكُونُوا مُتَنَبِّهِينَ كَالْحَيَّاتِ وَمُسَالِمِينَ كالْحَمَامِ.

“Behold, I am sending you out like sheep in the midst of wolves, so be as wise as serpents and as innocent as doves.

١٧ 17 احْذَرُوا مِنَ النَّاسِ! فَإِنَّهُمْ سَيُسَلِّمُونَكُمْ إِلَى الْمَحَاكِمِ، وَيَجْلِدُونَكُمْ فِي مَجَامِعِهِمْ؛

But beware of men, for they will deliver you up to councils and flog you in their synagogues.

١٨ 18 وَتُسَاقُونَ لِلْمُثُولِ أَمَامَ الْحُكَّامِ وَالْمُلُوكِ مِنْ أَجْلِي: فَيَكُونُ ذَلِكَ شَهَادَةً لِي لَدَى الْيَهُودِ وَالأُمَمِ عَلَى السَّوَاءِ.

For my sake you will even be brought before governors and kings as witnesses to them and to the Gentiles.

١٩ 19 فَحِينَ يُسَلِّمُونَكُمْ، لَا تَهْتَمُّوا كَيْفَ تَتَكَلَّمُونَ أَوْ مَاذَا تَقُولُونَ. فَإِنَّكُمْ فِي تِلْكَ السَّاعَةِ يُعْطَى لَكُمْ مَا تَقُولُونَ.

When they hand you over, do not be anxious about how to speak or what to say, for what you are to say will be given to you in that hour.

٢٠ 20 فَلَسْتُمْ أَنْتُمُ الْمُتَكَلِّمِينَ، بَلْ رُوحُ أَبِيكُمْ هُوَ الَّذِي يَتَكَلَّمُ فِيكُمْ.

For it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.

٢١ 21 وَسَوْفَ يُسَلِّمُ الأَخُ أَخَاهُ إِلَى الْمَوْتِ، وَالأَبُ وَلَدَهُ. وَيَتَمَرَّدُ الأَوْلادُ عَلَى وَالِدِيهِمْ، وَيَقْتُلُونَهُمْ!

Brother will deliver up brother to death, and a father his child, and children will rise up against their parents and have them put to death.

٢٢ 22 وَتَكُونُونَ مَكْرُوهِينَ لَدَى الْجَمِيعِ مِنْ أَجْلِ اسْمِي. وَلَكِنَّ الَّذِي يَثْبُتُ إِلَى النِّهَايَةِ، هُوَ الَّذِي يَخْلُصُ.

You will be hated by all because of my name, but he who endures to the end will be saved.

٢٣ 23 فَإِذَا اضْطَهَدُوكُمْ فِي مَدِينَةٍ مَا، فَاهْرُبُوا إِلَى غَيْرِهَا. فَإِنِّي الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: لَنْ تَفْرَغُوا مِنْ مُدُنِ إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى أَنْ يَأْتِيَ ابْنُ الإِنْسَانِ.

When they persecute you in one town, flee to another, for truly I say to you, you will certainly not finish going through the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.

٢٤ 24 لَيْسَ التِّلْمِيذُ أفْضَلَ مِنَ الْمُعَلِّمِ، وَلا الْعَبْدُ أفْضَلَ مِنْ سَيِّدِهِ.

“A disciple is not above his teacher, nor is a servant above his master.

٢٥ 25 يَكْفِي التِّلْمِيذَ أَنْ يَصِيرَ مِثْلَ مُعَلِّمِهِ، وَالْعَبْدَ مِثْلَ سَيِّدِهِ! إِنْ كَانُوا قَدْ لَقَّبُوا رَبَّ الْبَيْتِ بِبَعْلَزَبُولَ، فَكَمْ بِالأَوْلَى يُلَقِّبُونَ أَهْلَ بَيْتِهِ؟

It is sufficient for a disciple to be like his teacher and for a servant to be like his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more will they malign the members of his household!

٢٦ 26 فَلا تَخَافُوهُمْ: لأَنَّهُ مَا مِنْ مَحْجُوبٍ لَنْ يُكْشَفَ، وَمَا مِنْ خَفِيٍّ لَنْ يُعْلَنَ!

“So do not be afraid of them, for there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and nothing hidden that will not be made known.

٢٧ 27 مَا أَقُولُهُ لَكُمْ فِي الظَّلامِ، قُولُوهُ فِي النُّورِ؛ وَمَا تَسْمَعُونَهُ هَمْساً، نَادُوا بِهِ عَلَى السُّطُوحِ.

What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in your ear, proclaim on the housetops.

٢٨ 28 لَا تَخَافُوا الَّذِينَ يَقْتُلُونَ الْجَسَدَ، وَلَكِنَّهُمْ يَعْجِزُونَ عَنْ قَتْلِ النَّفْسِ، بَلْ بِالأَحْرَى خَافُوا الْقَادِرَ أَنْ يُهْلِكَ النَّفْسَ وَالْجَسَدَ جَمِيعاً فِي جَهَنَّمَ. (Geenna g1067)

Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul, but rather fear him who can destroy both the soul and the body in hell. (Geenna g1067)

٢٩ 29 أَمَا يُبَاعُ عُصْفُورَانِ بِفَلْسٍ وَاحِدٍ؟ وَمَعَ ذَلِكَ لَا يَقَعُ وَاحِدٌ مِنْهُمَا إِلَى الأَرْضِ دُونَ عِلْمِ أَبِيكُمْ.

Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father's consent.

٣٠ 30 وَأَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَحَتَّى شَعْرُ رُؤُوسِكُمْ كُلُّهُ مَعْدُودٌ.

And even the hairs of your head are all numbered.

٣١ 31 فَلا تَخَافُوا إِذَنْ! أَنْتُمْ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ عَصَافِيرَ كَثِيرَةٍ.

So do not be afraid; you are of more value than many sparrows.

٣٢ 32 كُلُّ مَنْ يَعْتَرِفُ بِي أَمَامَ النَّاسِ، أَعْتَرِفُ أَنَا أَيْضاً بِهِ أَمَامَ أَبِي الَّذِي فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ.

“Therefore everyone who acknowledges me before men, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven.

٣٣ 33 وَكُلُّ مَنْ يُنْكِرُنِي أَمَامَ النَّاسِ، أُنْكِرُهُ أَنَا أَيْضاً أَمَامَ أَبِي الَّذِي فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ.

But whoever denies me before men, I will also deny before my Father in heaven.

٣٤ 34 لَا تَظُنُّوا أَنِّي جِئْتُ لأُرْسِيَ سَلاماً عَلَى الأَرْضِ. مَا جِئْتُ لأُرْسِيَ سَلاماً، بَلْ سَيْفاً.

“Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.

٣٥ 35 فَإِنِّي جِئْتُ لأَجْعَلَ الإِنْسَانَ عَلَى خِلافٍ مَعَ أَبِيهِ، وَالْبِنْتَ مَعَ أُمِّهَا، وَالْكَنَّةَ مَعَ حَمَاتِهَا.

For I have come to set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.

٣٦ 36 وَهَكَذَا يَصِيرُ أَعْدَاءَ الإِنْسَانِ أَهْلُ بَيْتِهِ.

And a man's enemies will be the members of his own household.

٣٧ 37 مَنْ أَحَبَّ أَبَاهُ أَوْ أُمَّهُ أَكْثَرَ مِنِّي، فَلا يَسْتَحِقُّنِي. وَمَنْ أَحَبَّ ابْنَهُ أَوِ ابْنَتَهُ أَكْثَرَ مِنِّي، فَلا يَسْتَحِقُّنِي.

Whoever loves his father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; whoever loves his son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

٣٨ 38 وَمَنْ لَا يَحْمِلْ صَلِيبَهُ وَيَتْبَعْنِي، فَهُوَ لَا يَسْتَحِقُّنِي.

And whoever does not take up his cross and follow me is not worthy of me.

٣٩ 39 مَنْ يَتَمَسَّكْ بِحَيَاتِهِ، يَخْسَرْهَا؛ وَمَنْ يَخْسَرْ حَيَاتَهُ مِنْ أَجْلِي، فَإِنَّهُ يَرْبَحُهَا.

Whoever finds his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.

٤٠ 40 مَنْ يَقْبَلْكُمْ، يَقْبَلْنِي؛ وَمَنْ يَقْبَلْنِي، يَقْبَلِ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي.

“Whoever receives you receives me, and whoever receives me receives him who sent me.

٤١ 41 مَنْ يُرَحِّبْ بِنَبِيٍّ لِكَوْنِهِ نَبِيًّا، فَإِنَّهُ يَنَالُ مُكَافَأَةَ نَبِيٍّ؛ وَمَنْ يُرَحِّبْ بِرَجُلٍ صَالِحٍ لِكَوْنِهِ صَالِحاً، فَإِنَّهُ يَنَالُ مُكَافَأَةَ بَارٍّ.

Whoever receives a prophet in the name of a prophet will receive a prophet's reward; whoever receives a righteous person in the name of a righteous person will receive a righteous person's reward.

٤٢ 42 وَأَيُّ مَنْ سَقَى وَاحِداً مِنْ هؤُلاءِ الصِّغَارِ وَلَوْ كَأْسَ مَاءٍ بَارِدٍ، فَقَطْ لأَنَّهُ تِلْمِيذٌ لِي، فَالْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ مُكَافَأَتَهُ لَنْ تَضِيعَ أَبَداً».

And whoever gives one of these little ones even a cup of cold water to drink in the name of a disciple, truly I say to you, he will certainly not lose his reward.”
