Luke 15
1 Now all the tax collectors and sinners were coming close to him to hear him.
| وَكَانَ جَمِيعُ جُبَاةِ الضَّرَائِبِ وَالْخَاطِئِينَ يَتَقَدَّمُونَ إِلَيْهِ لِيَسْمَعُوهُ. | ١ |
2 The Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, “This man welcomes sinners, and eats with them.”
| فَتَذَمَّرَ الْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ وَالْكَتَبَةُ قَائِلِينَ: «هَذَا الإِنْسَانُ يُرَحِّبُ بِالْخَاطِئِينَ وَيَأْكُلُ مَعَهُمْ!» | ٢ |
3 He told them this parable:
| فَضَرَبَ لَهُمْ هَذَا الْمَثَلَ قَائِلاً: | ٣ |
4 “Which of you men, if you had one hundred sheep and lost one of them, would not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go after the one that was lost, until he found it?
| «أَيُّ إِنْسَانٍ مِنْكُمْ عِنْدَهُ مِئَةُ خَرُوفٍ وَأَضَاعَ وَاحِداً مِنْهَا، أَلا يَتْرُكُ التِّسْعَةَ وَالتِّسْعِينَ فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ وَيَذْهَبُ يَبْحَثُ عَنِ الْخَرُوفِ الضَّائِعِ حَتَّى يَجِدَهُ؟ | ٤ |
5 When he has found it, he carries it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
| وَبَعْدَ أَنْ يَجِدَهُ، يَحْمِلُهُ عَلَى كَتِفَيْهِ فَرِحاً، | ٥ |
6 When he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!’
| ثُمَّ يَعُودُ إِلَى الْبَيْتِ، وَيَدْعُو الأَصْدِقَاءَ وَالْجِيرَانَ، قَائِلاً لَهُمْ: افْرَحُوا مَعِي، لأَنِّي وَجَدْتُ خَرُوفِي الضَّائِعَ! | ٦ |
7 I tell you that even so there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over ninety-nine righteous people who need no repentance.
| أَقُولُ لَكُمْ إِنَّهُ هكَذَا يَكُونُ فِي السَّمَاءِ فَرَحٌ بِخَاطِئٍ وَاحِدٍ تَائِبٍ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ تِسْعَةٍ وَتِسْعِينَ بَارّاً لَا يَحْتَاجُونَ إِلَى تَوْبَةٍ! | ٧ |
8 “Or what woman, if she had ten drachma coins, if she lost one drachma coin, would not light a lamp, sweep the house, and seek diligently until she found it?
| أَمْ أَيَّةُ امْرَأَةٍ عِنْدَهَا عَشَرَةُ دَرَاهِمَ، إِذَا أَضَاعَتْ دِرْهَماً وَاحِداً، أَلا تُشْعِلُ مِصْبَاحاً وَتَكْنُسُ الْبَيْتَ وَتَبْحَثُ بِانْتِبَاهٍ حَتَّى تَجِدَهُ؟ | ٨ |
9 When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the drachma which I had lost!’
| وَبَعْدَ أَنْ تَجِدَهُ، تَدْعُو الصَّدِيقَاتِ وَالْجَارَاتِ قَائِلَةً: افْرَحْنَ مَعِي، لأَنِّي وَجَدْتُ الدِّرْهَمَ الَّذِي أَضَعْتُهُ. | ٩ |
10 Even so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner repenting.”
| أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: هكَذَا يَكُونُ بَيْنَ مَلائِكَةِ اللهِ فَرَحٌ بِخَاطِئٍ وَاحِدٍ يَتُوبُ». | ١٠ |
11 He said, “A certain man had two sons.
| وَقَالَ: «كَانَ لإِنْسَانٍ ابْنَانِ. | ١١ |
12 The younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of your property.’ So he divided his livelihood between them.
| فَقَالَ أَصْغَرُهُمَا لأَبِيهِ: يَا أَبِي، أَعْطِنِي الْحِصَّةَ الَّتِي تَخُصُّنِي مِنَ الْمِيرَاثِ! فَقَسَمَ لَهُمَا كُلَّ مَا يَمْلِكُهُ. | ١٢ |
13 Not many days after, the younger son gathered all of this together and traveled into a far country. There he wasted his property with riotous living.
| وَبَعْدَ بِضْعَةِ أَيَّامٍ، جَمَعَ الاِبْنُ الأَصْغَرُ كُلَّ مَا عِنْدَهُ، وَمَضَى إِلَى بَلَدٍ بَعِيدٍ. وَهُنَالِكَ بَذَّرَ حِصَّتَهُ مِنَ الْمَالِ فِي عِيشَةِ الْخَلاعَةِ. | ١٣ |
14 When he had spent all of it, there arose a severe famine in that country, and he began to be in need.
| وَلكِنْ لَمَّا أَنْفَقَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ، اجْتَاحَتْ ذلِكَ الْبَلَدَ مَجَاعَةٌ قَاسِيَةٌ، فَأَخَذَ يَشْعُرُ بِالْحَاجَةِ. | ١٤ |
15 He went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed pigs.
| فَذَهَبَ وَالْتَحَقَ بِوَاحِدٍ مِنْ مُوَاطِنِي ذلِكَ الْبَلَدِ، فَأَرْسَلَهُ إِلَى حُقُولِهِ لِيَرْعَى خَنَازِيرَ. | ١٥ |
16 He wanted to fill his belly with the pods that the pigs ate, but no one gave him any.
| وَكَمِ اشْتَهَى لَوْ يَمْلأُ بَطْنَهُ مِنَ الْخُرْنُوبِ الَّذِي كَانَتِ الْخَنَازِيرُ تَأْكُلُهُ، فَمَا أَعْطَاهُ أَحَدٌ! | ١٦ |
17 But when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough to spare, and I am dying with hunger!
| ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِلَى نَفْسِهِ، وَقَالَ: مَا أَكْثَرَ خُدَّامَ أَبِي الْمَأْجُورِينَ الَّذِينَ يَفْضُلُ عَنْهُمُ الْخُبْزُ، وَأَنَا هُنَا أَكَادُ أَهْلِكُ جُوعاً! | ١٧ |
18 I will get up and go to my father, and will tell him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight.
| سَأَقُومُ وَأَرْجِعُ إِلَى أَبِي، وَأَقُولُ لَهُ: يَا أَبِي، أَخْطَأْتُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَأَمَامَكَ؛ | ١٨ |
19 I am no more worthy to be called your son. Make me as one of your hired servants.”’
| وَلا أَسْتَحِقُّ بَعْدُ أَنْ أُدْعَى ابْناً لَكَ: اجْعَلْنِي كَوَاحِدٍ مِنْ خُدَّامِكَ الْمَأْجُورِينَ! | ١٩ |
20 “He arose and came to his father. But while he was still far off, his father saw him and was moved with compassion, and ran, fell on his neck, and kissed him.
| فَقَامَ وَرَجَعَ إِلَى أَبِيهِ. وَلكِنَّ أَبَاهُ رَآهُ وَهُوَ مَازَالَ بَعِيداً، فَتَحَنَّنَ، وَرَكَضَ إِلَيْهِ وَعَانَقَهُ وَقَبَّلَهُ بِحَرَارَةٍ. | ٢٠ |
21 The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’
| فَقَالَ لَهُ الاِبْنُ. يَا أَبِي، أَخْطَأْتُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَأَمَامَكَ، وَلا أَسْتَحِقُّ بَعْدُ أَنْ أُدْعَى ابْناً لَكَ. | ٢١ |
22 “But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring out the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet.
| أَمَّا الأَبُ فَقَالَ لِعَبِيدِهِ: أَحْضِرُوا سَرِيعاً أَفْضَلَ ثَوْبٍ وَأَلْبِسُوهُ، وَضَعُوا فِي إِصْبَعِهِ خَاتِماً وَفِي قَدَمَيْهِ حِذَاءً. | ٢٢ |
23 Bring the fattened calf, kill it, and let’s eat and celebrate;
| وَأَحْضِرُوا الْعِجْلَ الْمُسَمَّنَ وَاذْبَحُوهُ؛ وَلْنَأْكُلْ وَنَفْرَحْ: | ٢٣ |
24 for this, my son, was dead and is alive again. He was lost and is found.’ Then they began to celebrate.
| فَإِنَّ ابْنِي هَذَا كَانَ مَيِّتاً فَعَاشَ، وَكَانَ ضَائِعاً فَوُجِدَ. فَأَخَذُوا يَفْرَحُونَ! | ٢٤ |
25 “Now his elder son was in the field. As he came near to the house, he heard music and dancing.
| وَكَانَ ابْنُهُ الأَكْبَرُ فِي الْحَقْلِ. فَلَمَّا جَاءَ وَاقْتَرَبَ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ، سَمِعَ مُوسِيقَى وَرَقْصاً. | ٢٥ |
26 He called one of the servants to him and asked what was going on.
| فَدَعَا وَاحِداً مِنَ الْخُدَّامِ وَاسْتَفْسَرَهُ مَا عَسَى أَنْ يَكُونَ ذلِكَ. | ٢٦ |
27 He said to him, ‘Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has received him back safe and healthy.’
| فَأَجَابَهُ: رَجَعَ أَخُوكَ، فَذَبَحَ أَبُوكَ الْعِجْلَ الْمُسَمَّنَ لأَنَّهُ اسْتَعَادَهُ سَالِماً! | ٢٧ |
28 But he was angry and would not go in. Therefore his father came out and begged him.
| وَلكِنَّهُ غَضِبَ وَرَفَضَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ. فَخَرَجَ أَبُوهُ وَتَوَسَّلَ إِلَيْهِ. | ٢٨ |
29 But he answered his father, ‘Behold, these many years I have served you, and I never disobeyed a commandment of yours, but you never gave me a goat, that I might celebrate with my friends.
| غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ رَدَّ عَلَى أَبِيهِ قَائِلاً: هَا أَنَا أَخْدِمُكَ هذِهِ السِّنِينَ الْعَدِيدَةَ، وَلَمْ أُخَالِفْ لَكَ أَمْراً، وَلكِنَّكَ لَمْ تُعْطِنِي وَلَوْ جَدْياً وَاحِداً لأَفْرَحَ مَعَ أَصْدِقَائِي. | ٢٩ |
30 But when this your son came, who has devoured your living with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him.’
| وَلكِنْ لَمَّا عَادَ ابْنُكَ هَذَا الَّذِي أَكَلَ مَالَكَ مَعَ الْفَاجِرَاتِ، ذَبَحْتَ لَهُ الْعِجْلَ الْمُسَمَّنَ! | ٣٠ |
31 “He said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours.
| فَقَالَ لَهُ: يَا بُنَيَّ، أَنْتَ مَعِي دَائِماً، وَكُلُّ مَا أَمْلِكُهُ هُوَ لَكَ! | ٣١ |
32 But it was appropriate to celebrate and be glad, for this, your brother, was dead, and is alive again. He was lost, and is found.’”
| وَلكِنْ كَانَ مِنَ الصَّوَابِ أَنْ نَفْرَحَ وَنَبْتَهِجَ، لأَنَّ أَخَاكَ هَذَا كَانَ مَيِّتاً فَعَاشَ، وَكَانَ ضَالاً فَوُجِدَ!» | ٣٢ |
