< مَتَّى 25 >

حِينَئِذٍ يُشَبَّهُ مَلَكُوتُ السَّمَاوَاتِ بِعَشْرِ عَذَارَى أَخَذْنَ مَصَابِيحَهُنَّ وَانْطَلَقْنَ لِمُلاقَاةِ الْعَرِيسِ. ١ 1
"Then will the kingdom of heaven be likened to ten maidens who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom and the bride.
وَكَانَتْ خَمْسٌ مِنْهُنَّ حَكِيمَاتٍ، وَخَمْسٌ جَاهِلاتٍ. ٢ 2
"And five of them were foolish, and five were wise.
فَأَخَذَتِ الْجَاهِلاتُ مَصَابِيحَهُنَّ دُونَ زَيْتٍ. ٣ 3
"The foolish took their lamps, but took no oil with them;
وَأَمَّا الْحَكِيمَاتُ، فَأَخَذْنَ مَعَ مَصَابِيحِهِنَّ زَيْتاً وَضَعْنَهُ فِي أَوْعِيَةٍ. ٤ 4
"but the wise took oil in their flasks with their lamps.
وَإِذْ أَبْطَأَ الْعَرِيسُ، نَعَسْنَ جَمِيعاً وَنِمْنَ. ٥ 5
"Now because the bridegroom tarried, they all fell to nodding and went on sleeping.
وَفِي مُنْتَصَفِ اللَّيْلِ، دَوَّى الْهُتَافُ: هَا هُوَ الْعَرِيسُ آتٍ؛ فَانْطَلِقْنَ لِمُلاقَاتِهِ! ٦ 6
"But at midnight there arose a cry, "‘Behold, the bridegroom! Go out to meet him!’
فَنَهَضَتِ الْعَذَارَى جَمِيعاً وَجَهَّزْنَ مَصَابِيحَهُنَّ. ٧ 7
"Then all those maidens rose and trimmed their lamps;
وَقَالَتِ الْجَاهِلاتُ لِلْحَكِيمَاتِ: أَعْطِينَنَا بَعْضَ الزَّيْتِ مِنْ عِنْدِكُنَّ، فَإِنَّ مَصَابِيحَنَا تَنْطَفِئُ! ٨ 8
"and the foolish said to the wise, "‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’
فَأَجَابَتِ الْحَكِيمَاتُ: رُبَّمَا لَا يَكْفِي لَنَا وَلَكُنَّ. فَاذْهَبْنَ بِالأَحْرَى إِلَى بَائِعِي الزَّيْتِ وَاشْتَرِينَ لَكُنَّ! ٩ 9
"‘Not so, answered the wise, ‘for there may not be enough for you and for us. Go to the shops, rather, and buy some for yourselves.’
وَبَيْنَمَا الْعَذَارَى الْجَاهِلاتُ ذَاهِبَاتٌ لِلشِّرَاءِ، وَصَلَ الْعَرِيسُ، فَدَخَلَتِ الْعَذَارَى الْمُسْتَعِدَّاتُ مَعَهُ إِلَى قَاعَةِ الْعُرْسِ، وَأُغْلِقَ الْبَابُ. ١٠ 10
"And while they were going away to buy, the bridegroom came; and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding-feast. And the door was shut.
وَبَعْدَ حِينٍ، رَجَعَتِ الْعَذَارَى الأُخْرَيَاتُ، وَقُلْنَ: يَا سَيِّدُ، يَا سَيِّدُ، افْتَحْ لَنَا! ١١ 11
"Afterwards the other maidens came and cried, "‘Lord, Lord, open unto us!’
فَأَجَابَ الْعَرِيسُ: الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُنَّ: إِنِّي لَا أَعْرِفُكُنَّ! ١٢ 12
"‘In solemn truth I tell you,’ he replied, ‘I know you not.’
فَاسْهَرُوا إِذَنْ، لأَنَّكُمْ لَا تَعْرِفُونَ الْيَوْمَ وَلا السَّاعَةَ! ١٣ 13
"Be watchful then, for you know neither the day nor the hour.
فَذَلِكَ أَشْبَهُ بِإِنْسَانٍ مُسَافِرٍ، اسْتَدْعَى عَبِيدَهُ وَسَلَّمَهُمْ أَمْوَالَهُ، ١٤ 14
"For it is like a man going into another country, who summoned his slaves, and committed his property to their care.
فَأَعْطَى وَاحِداً مِنْهُمْ خَمْسَ وَزْنَاتٍ (مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ)، وَأَعْطَى آخَرَ وَزْنَتَيْنِ، وَأَعْطَى الثَّالِثَ وَزْنَةً وَاحِدَةً، كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ عَلَى قَدْرِ طَاقَتِهِ، ثُمَّ سَافَرَ. ١٥ 15
"To one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another, one - to each according to his individual ability - and then set out on his travels.
وَفِي الْحَالِ مَضَى الَّذِي أَخَذَ الْوَزْنَاتِ الْخَمْسَ وَتَاجَرَ بِها، فَرَبِحَ خَمْسَ وَزْنَاتٍ أُخْرَى. ١٦ 16
"At once the man who had received the five talents went out and traded with them, and made five talents more.
وَعَمِلَ مِثْلَهُ الَّذِي أَخَذَ الوَزْنَتَيْنِ، فَرَبِحَ وَزْنَتَيْنِ أُخْرَيَيْنِ. ١٧ 17
"In the same way the one who got two talents made another two.
وَلَكِنَّ الَّذِي أَخَذَ الْوَزْنَةَ الْوَاحِدَةَ، مَضَى وَحَفَرَ حُفْرَةً فِي الأَرْضِ وَدَفَنَ مَالَ سَيِّدِهِ. ١٨ 18
"But he who had received the one talent went off, and dug a hole in the ground, and hid his master’s money.
وَبَعْدَ مُدَّةٍ طَوِيلَةٍ، رَجَعَ سَيِّدُ أُولئِكَ الْعَبِيدِ وَاسْتَدْعَاهُمْ لِيُحَاسِبَهُمْ. ١٩ 19
"After a long time the master of those slaves came, and demanded a reckoning with them.
فَجَاءَهُ الَّذِي أَخَذَ الْوَزْنَاتِ الْخَمْسَ، وَقَدَّمَ الْوَزْنَاتِ الْخَمْسَ الأُخْرَى، وَقَالَ: يَا سَيِّدُ، أَنْتَ سَلَّمْتَنِي خَمْسَ وَزْنَاتٍ، فَهَذِهِ خَمْسُ وَزْنَاتٍ غَيْرُهَا رَبِحْتُهَا! ٢٠ 20
"The man who had received the five talents came, bringing five more, and said. "‘Master, five talents you entrusted to me; see, I have gained five more.’
فَقَالَ لَهُ سَيِّدُهُ: حَسَناً فَعَلْتَ أَيُّهَا الْعَبْدُ الصَّالِحُ وَالأَمِينُ! كُنْتَ أَمِيناً عَلَى الْقَلِيلِ، فَسَأُقِيمُكَ عَلَى الْكَثِيرِ. اُدْخُلْ إِلَى فَرَحِ سَيِّدِكَ! ٢١ 21
"‘Well done, good and faithful slave,’ replied his master; ‘You have been faithful over many things. Enter into your master’s joy.’
ثُمَّ جَاءَهُ أَيْضاً الَّذِي أَخَذَ الْوَزْنَتَيْنِ وَقَالَ: يَا سَيِّدُ أَنْتَ سَلَّمْتَنِي وَزْنَتَيْنِ، فَهَاتَانِ وَزْنَتَانِ غَيْرُهُمَا رَبِحْتُهُمَا! ٢٢ 22
"The second, who had received the two talents, came up and said. "‘Master, it was two talents that you entrusted to me; see, I have gained two more.’
فَقَالَ لَهُ سَيِّدُهُ: حَسَناً فَعَلْتَ أَيُّهَا الْعَبْدُ الصَّالِحُ وَالأَمِينُ! كُنْتَ أَمِيناً عَلَى الْقَلِيلِ، فَسَأُقِيمُكَ عَلَى الْكَثِيرِ. اُدْخُلْ إِلَى فَرَحِ سَيِّدِكَ! ٢٣ 23
"‘Well done, good and faithful slave,’ his master replied, ‘You have been faithful over many things; enter into your master’s joy.’
ثُمَّ جَاءَهُ أَيْضاً الَّذِي أَخَذَ الْوَزْنَةَ الْوَاحِدَةَ، وَقَالَ: يَا سَيِّدُ، عَرَفْتُكَ رَجُلاً قَاسِياً، تَحْصُدُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَمْ تَزْرَعْ، وَتَجْمَعُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَمْ تَبْذُرْ، ٢٤ 24
"Then the man who had received the one talent came up and said. "‘Master, I knew you were a hard man, reaping where you had not sown, and gathering where you had not scattered;
فَخِفْتُ، فَذَهَبْتُ وَدَفَنْتَ وَزْنَتَكَ فِي الأَرْضِ. فَهَذَا هُوَ مَالُكَ! ٢٥ 25
"so I was afraid; I went away and buried your talent in the earth. There, you have what belongs to you!’
فَأَجَابَهُ سَيِّدُهُ: أَيُّهَا الْعَبْدُ الشِّرِّيرُ الْكَسُولُ! عَرَفْتَ أَنِّي أَحْصُدُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَمْ أَزْرَعْ، وَأَجْمَعُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَمْ أَبْذُرْ، ٢٦ 26
"‘You wicked and lazy slave,’ said his master. ‘You say you knew that I reap where I have not sowed, and gather where I have not scattered?
فَكَانَ يَحْسُنُ بِكَ أَنْ تُوْدِعَ مَالِي عِنْدَ الصَّيَارِفَةِ لِكَيْ أَسْتَرِدَّهُ لَدَى عَوْدَتِي مَعَ فَائِدَتِهِ! ٢٧ 27
"‘Then you ought to have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming I should have received back my property with interest.
ثُمَّ قَالَ لِعَبِيدِهِ: خُذُوا مِنْهُ الْوَزْنَةَ، وَأَعْطُوهَا لِصَاحِبِ الْوَزْنَاتِ الْعَشْرِ: ٢٨ 28
"‘So take away the talent from him, and give it to the man who has ten talents.
فَإِنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ عِنْدَهُ، يُعْطَى الْمَزِيدَ فَيَفِيضُ؛ وَمَنْ لَيْسَ عِنْدَهُ، فَحَتَّى الَّذِي عِنْدَهُ يُنْتَزَعُ مِنْهُ. ٢٩ 29
"‘(For to every one who has, it shall be given, and he shall have abundance; but from him who has not shall be taken away even what he has.)
أَمَّا هَذَا الْعَبْدُ الَّذِي لَا نَفْعَ مِنْهُ، فَاطْرَحُوهُ فِي الظُّلْمَةِ الْخَارِجِيَّةِ، هُنَاكَ يَكُونُ البُكَاءُ وَصَرِيرُ الأَسْنَانِ! ٣٠ 30
"‘But cast out the worthless slave into the outer darkness; there will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.’
وَعِنْدَمَا يَعُودُ ابْنُ الإِنْسَانِ فِي مَجْدِهِ وَمَعَهُ جَمِيعُ مَلائِكَتِهِ، فَإِنَّهُ يَجْلِسُ عَلَى عَرْشِ مَجْدِهِ، ٣١ 31
"But when the Son of man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then will he take his seat on the throne of his glory;
وَتَجْتَمِعُ أَمَامَهُ الشُّعُوبُ كُلُّهَا، فَيَفْصِلُ بَعْضَهُمْ عَنْ بَعْضٍ كَمَا يَفْصِلُ الرَّاعِي الْغَنَمَ عَنِ الْمِعَازِ، ٣٢ 32
"and all the nations will be gathered in his presence. And he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats;
فَيُوقِفُ الْغَنَمَ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ، وَالْمِعَازِ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ؛ ٣٣ 33
"and he will place the sheep on his right hand, and the goats on his left.
ثُمَّ يَقُولُ الْمَلِكُ لِلَّذِينَ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ: تَعَالَوْا يَا مَنْ بَارَكَهُمْ أَبِي، رِثُوا الْمَلَكُوتَ الَّذِي أُعِدَّ لَكُمْ مُنْذُ إِنْشَاءِ الْعَالَمِ: ٣٤ 34
"Then he, the King will say to those on his right hand. "‘Come, my Father’s blessed ones, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
لأَنِّي جُعْتُ فَأَطْعَمْتُمُونِي، عَطِشْتُ فَسَقَيْتُمُونِي، كُنْتُ غَرِيباً فَآوَيْتُمُونِي، ٣٥ 35
"‘For I was hungry, and you gave me food; I was thirsty, and you gave me drink; I was a stranger, and you took me in;
عُرْيَاناً فَكَسَوْتُمُونِي، مَرِيضاً فَزُرْتُمُونِي، سَجِيناً فَأَتَيْتُمْ إِلَيَّ! ٣٦ 36
"‘I was naked, and you clothed me; I was sick, and you visited me; I was in prison, and you came to see me.’
فَيَرُدُّ الصَّالِحونَ قَائِلِينَ: يَا رَبُّ، مَتَى رَأَيْنَاكَ جَائِعاً فَأَطْعَمْنَاكَ، أَوْ عَطْشَاناً فَسَقَيْنَاكَ؟ ٣٧ 37
"Then shall the righteous answer him, saying. ‘Master, when did we see you hungry and feed you; or thirsty and give you drink?
وَمَتَى رَأَيْنَاكَ غَرِيباً فَآوَيْنَاكَ، أَوْ عُرْيَاناً فَكَسَوْنَاكَ؟ ٣٨ 38
"‘When did we see you a stranger and take you in; or naked and clothe you?
وَمَتَى رَأَيْنَاكَ مَرِيضاً أَوْ سَجِيناً فَزُرْنَاكَ؟ ٣٩ 39
"‘When did we see you sick or in prison, and come to see you?’
فَيُجِيبُهُمُ الْمَلِكُ: الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: بِمَا أَنَّكُمْ فَعَلْتُمْ ذَلِكَ بِأَحَدِ إِخْوَتِي هَؤُلاءِ الصِّغَارِ، فَبِي فَعَلْتُمْ! ٤٠ 40
"‘In solemn truth I tell you,’ the King will answer them, ‘that inasmuch as you have done it unto one of the least of these, my brothers, you have done it unto me.’
ثُمَّ يَقُولُ لِلَّذِينَ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ: ابْتَعِدُوا عَنِّي يَا مَلاعِينُ إِلَى النَّارِ الأَبَدِيَّةِ الْمُعَدَّةِ لإِبْلِيسَ وَأَعْوَانِهِ! (aiōnios g166) ٤١ 41
"Then he will say to those also at his left hand. ‘Depart from me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels; (aiōnios g166)
لأَنِّي جُعْتُ فَلَمْ تُطْعِمُونِي، وَعَطِشْتُ فَلَمْ تَسْقُونِي، ٤٢ 42
"for I was hungry, and you gave me no food; I was thirsty, and you gave me no drink;
كُنْتُ غَرِيباً فَلَمْ تَأْوُونِي، عُرْيَاناً فَلَمْ تَكْسُونِي، مَرِيضاً وَسَجِيناً فَلَمْ تَزُورُونِي! ٤٣ 43
"I was a stranger, and you took me not in; naked, and you clothed me not; sick, or in prison, and you visited me not.’
فَيَرُدُّ هَؤُلاءِ أَيْضاً قَائِلِينَ: يَا رَبُّ، مَتَى رَأَيْنَاكَ جَائِعاً أَوْ عَطْشَاناً أَوْ غَرِيباً أَوْ عُرْيَاناً أَوْ مَرِيضاً أَوْ سَجِيناً، وَلَمْ نَخْدِمْكَ؟ ٤٤ 44
"Then will they also answer, ‘Master, when did we ever see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister to you?’
فَيُجِيبُهُمْ: الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: بِمَا أَنَّكُمْ لَمْ تَفْعَلُوا ذَلِكَ بِأَحَدِ إِخْوَتِي هَؤُلاءِ الصِّغَارِ، فَبِي لَمْ تَفْعَلُوا! ٤٥ 45
"But he will reply, ‘In solemn truth I tell you that inasmuch as you did not do it unto one of these least, you did not do it unto me.’
فَيَذْهَبُ هَؤُلاءِ إِلَى الْعِقَابِ الأَبَدِيِّ، وَالصَّالِحونَ إِلَى الْحَيَاةِ الأَبَدِيَّةِ!» (aiōnios g166) ٤٦ 46
"And these will go away into eternal punishment; but the righteous into eternal life." (aiōnios g166)
