مَتَّى 19

١ 1 بَعْدَمَا أَنْهَى يَسُوعُ هَذَا الْكَلامَ، انْتَقَلَ مِنَ الْجَلِيلِ ذَاهِباً إِلَى نَوَاحِي مِنْطَقَةِ الْيَهُودِيَّةِ مَا وَرَاءَ نَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ.

And it came to pass, [that] when Jesus had finished these sayings, he departed from Galilee, and came into the borders of Judea, beyond Jordan:

٢ 2 وَتَبِعَتْهُ جُمُوعٌ كَثِيرَةٌ، فَشَفَى مَرْضَاهُمْ هُنَاكَ.

And great multitudes followed him, and he healed them there.

٣ 3 وَتَقَدَّمَ إِلَيْهِ بَعْضُ الْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ يُجَرِّبُونَهُ، فَسَأَلُوهُ: «هَلْ يَحِلُّ لِلرَّجُلِ أَنْ يُطَلِّقَ زَوْجَتَهُ لأَيِّ سَبَبٍ؟»

The Pharisees also came to him, tempting him, and saying to him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?

٤ 4 فَأَجَابَهُمْ قَائِلاً: «أَلَمْ تَقْرَأُوا أَنَّ الْخَالِقَ جَعَلَ الإِنْسَانَ مُنْذُ الْبَدْءِ ذَكَراً وَأُنْثَى،

And he answered and said to them, Have ye not read, that he who made [them], at the beginning made them male and female,

٥ 5 وَقَالَ: لِذَلِكَ يَتْرُكُ الرَّجُلُ أَبَاهُ وَأُمَّهُ وَيَتَّحِدُ بِزَوْجَتِهِ، فَيَصِيرُ الاثْنَانِ جَسَداً وَاحِداً؟

And said, For this [cause] shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they two shall be one flesh?

٦ 6 فَلَيْسَا فِيمَا بَعْدُ اثْنَيْنِ، بَلْ جَسَداً وَاحِداً. فَلا يُفَرِّقَنَّ الإِنْسَانُ مَا جَمَعَهُ اللهُ!»

Wherefore they are no more two, but one flesh. Therefore what God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

٧ 7 فَسَأَلُوهُ: «فَلِمَاذَا أَوْصَى مُوسَى بِأَنْ تُعْطَى الزَّوْجَةُ وَثِيقَةَ طَلاقٍ فَتُطَلَّقُ؟»

They say to him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?

٨ 8 أَجَابَ: «بِسَبَبِ قَسَاوَةِ قُلُوبِكُمْ، سَمَحَ لَكُمْ مُوسَى بِتَطْلِيقِ زَوْجَاتِكُمْ. وَلَكِنَّ الأَمْرَ لَمْ يَكُنْ هَكَذَا مُنْذُ الْبَدْءِ.

He saith to them, Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.

٩ 9 وَلَكِنِّي أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ الَّذِي يُطَلِّقُ زَوْجَتَهُ لِغَيْرِ عِلَّةِ الزِّنَى، وَيَتَزَوَّجُ بِغَيْرِهَا، فَإِنَّهُ يَرْتَكِبُ الزِّنَى. وَالَّذِي يَتَزَوَّجُ بِمُطَلَّقَةٍ، يَرْتَكِبُ الزِّنَى».

And I say to you, Whoever shall put away his wife, except for lewdness, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoever marrieth her who is put away, committeth adultery.

١٠ 10 فَقَالَ لَهُ تَلامِيذُهُ: «إِنْ كَانَتْ هَذِهِ حَالَةَ الزَّوْجِ مَعَ الزَّوْجَةِ، فَعَدَمُ الزَّوَاجِ أَفْضَلُ!»

His disciples say to him, If the case of the man is so with [his] wife, it is not good to marry.

١١ 11 فَأَجَابَهُمْ: «هَذَا الْكَلامُ لَا يَقْبَلُهُ الْجَمِيعُ، بَلِ الَّذِينَ أُنْعِمَ عَلَيْهِمْ بِذَلِكَ.

But he said to them, All [men] cannot receive this saying, save [they] to whom it is given.

١٢ 12 فَإِنَّ بَعْضَ الْخِصْيَانِ يُوْلَدُونَ مِنْ بُطُونِ أُمَّهَاتِهِمْ خِصْيَاناً؛ وَبَعْضُهُمْ قَدْ خَصَاهُمُ النَّاسُ؛ وَغَيْرُهُمْ قَدْ خَصَوْا أَنْفُسَهُمْ مِنْ أَجْلِ مَلَكُوتِ السَّمَاوَاتِ. فَمَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ أَنْ يَقْبَلَ هَذَا، فَلْيَقْبَلْهُ!»

For there are some eunuchs, who were so born from [their] mothers womb: and there are some eunuchs, who were made eunuchs by men: and there are eunuchs, who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive [it], let him receive [it].

١٣ 13 ثُمَّ قَدَّمَ إِلَيْهِ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلاداً صِغَاراً لِيَضَعَ يَدَيْهِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَيُصَلِّيَ، فَزَجَرَهُمُ التَّلامِيذُ.

Then were brought to him little children, that he should put [his] hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.

١٤ 14 وَلَكِنَّ يَسُوعَ قَالَ: «دَعُوا الصِّغَارَ يَأْتُونَ إِلَيَّ وَلا تَمْنَعُوهُمْ، لأَنَّ لِمِثْلِ هَؤُلاءِ مَلَكُوتَ السَّمَاوَاتِ!»

But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not to come to me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

١٥ 15 وَوَضَعَ يَدَيْهِ عَلَيْهِمْ، ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ.

And he laid [his] hands on them, and departed thence.

١٦ 16 وَإذَا شَابٌّ يَتَقَدَّمُ إِلَيْهِ وَيَسْأَلُ: «أَيُّهَا الْمُعَلِّمُ الصَّالِحُ، أَيَّ صَلاحٍ أَعْمَلُ لأَحْصُلَ عَلَى الْحَيَاةِ الأَبَدِيَّةِ؟» (aiōnios g166)

And behold, one came and said to him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life? (aiōnios g166)

١٧ 17 فَأَجَابَهُ: «لِمَاذَا تَسْأَلُنِي عَنِ الصَّالِحِ؟ وَاحِدٌ هُوَ الصَّالِحُ. وَلكِنْ، إِنْ أَرَدْتَ أَنْ تَدْخُلَ الْحَيَاةَ، فَاعْمَلْ بِالْوَصَايَا».

And he said to him, Why callest thou me good? [there is] none good but one, [that is], God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.

١٨ 18 فَسَأَلَ: «أَيَّةِ وَصَايَا؟» أَجَابَهُ يَسُوعُ: «لا تَقْتُلْ؛ لَا تَزْنِ؛ لَا تَسْرِقْ؛ لَا تَشْهَدْ بِالزُّورِ؛

He saith to him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,

١٩ 19 أَكْرِمْ أَبَاكَ وَأُمَّكَ؛ وَأَحِبَّ قَرِيبَكَ كَنَفْسِكَ.»

Honor thy father and [thy] mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

٢٠ 20 قَالَ لَهُ الشَّابُّ: «هَذِهِ كُلُّهَا عَمِلْتُ بِها مُنْذُ صِغَرِي، فَمَاذَا يَنْقُصُنِي بَعْدُ؟»

The young man saith to him, All these things have I kept from my youth: what lack I yet?

٢١ 21 فَأَجَابَهُ يَسُوعُ: «إِنْ أَرَدْتَ أَنْ تَكُونَ كَامِلاً، فَاذْهَبْ وَبِعْ كُلَّ مَا تَمْلِكُ، وَوَزِّعْ عَلَى الْفُقَرَاءِ، فَيَكُونَ لَكَ كَنْزٌ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ. وَتَعَالَ اتْبَعْنِي!»

Jesus said to him, If thou wilt be perfect, go [and] sell what thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come [and] follow me.

٢٢ 22 فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ الشَّابُّ هَذَا الْكَلامَ، مَضَى حَزِيناً لأَنَّهُ كَانَ صَاحِبَ ثَرْوَةٍ كَبِيرَةٍ.

But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.

٢٣ 23 فَقَالَ يَسُوعُ لِتَلامِيذِهِ: «الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّهُ مِنَ الصَّعْبِ عَلَى الْغَنِيِّ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ مَلَكُوتَ السَّمَاوَاتِ.

Then said Jesus to his disciples, Verily I say to you, that a rich man shall with difficulty enter into the kingdom of heaven.

٢٤ 24 وَأَيْضاً أَقُولُ: إِنَّهُ لأَسْهَلُ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ الْجَمَلُ فِي ثَقْبِ إِبْرَةٍ مِنْ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ الْغَنِيُّ مَلَكُوتَ اللهِ».

And again I say to you, 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.

٢٥ 25 فَدُهِشَ التَّلامِيذُ جِدّاً لَمَّا سَمِعُوا ذَلِكَ، وَسَأَلُوا: «إِذَنْ، مَنْ يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يَنْجُوَ؟»

When his disciples heard [it], they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?

٢٦ 26 فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهِمْ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «هَذَا مُسْتَحِيلٌ عِنْدَ النَّاسِ. أَمَّا عِنْدَ اللهِ، فَكُلُّ شَيْءٍ مُسْتَطَاعٌ!»

But Jesus beheld [them], and said to them, With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.

٢٧ 27 عِنْدَئِذٍ قَالَ بُطْرُسُ: «هَا نَحْنُ قَدْ تَرَكْنَا كُلَّ شَيْءٍ وَتَبِعْنَاكَ، فَمَاذَا يَكُونُ نَصِيبُنَا؟»

Then answered Peter, and said to him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee? what shall we have therefore?

٢٨ 28 فَأَجَابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّهُ فِي زَمَنِ التَّجْدِيدِ، عِنْدَمَا يَجْلِسُ ابْنُ الإِنْسَانِ عَلَى عَرْشِ مَجْدِهِ، تَجْلِسُونَ أَنْتُمُ الَّذِينَ تَبِعْتُمُونِي عَلَى اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ عَرْشاً لِتَدِينُوا أَسْبَاطَ إِسْرَائِيلَ الاثْنَيْ عَشَرَ.

And Jesus said to them, Verily I say to you, that ye who have followed me in the regeneration, when the Son of man shall sit on the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

٢٩ 29 فَأَيُّ مَنْ تَرَكَ بُيُوتاً أَوْ إِخْوَةً أَوْ أَخَوَاتٍ أَوْ أَباً أَوْ أُمّاً أَوْ أَوْلاداً أَوْ أَرَاضِيَ مِنْ أَجْلِ اسْمِي، فَإِنَهُ يَنَالُ مِئَةَ ضِعْفٍ وَيَرِثُ الْحَيَاةَ الأَبَدِيَّةَ. (aiōnios g166)

And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands for my name's sake, shall receive a hundred-fold, and shall inherit everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)

٣٠ 30 وَلكِنْ أَوَّلُونَ كَثِيرُونَ يَصِيرُونَ آخِرِينَ، وَآخِرُونَ كَثِيرُونَ يَصِيرُونَ أَوَّلِينَ.

But many [that are] first shall be last, and the last [shall be] first.
