< Luke 18 >

1 He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray, and not give up,
وَضَرَبَ لَهُمْ مَثَلاً فِي وُجُوبِ الصَّلاةِ دَائِماً وَدُونَ مَلَلٍ،١
2 saying, "There was a judge in a certain city who did not fear God, and did not respect people.
قَالَ: «كَانَ فِي مَدِينَةٍ قَاضٍ لَا يَخَافُ اللهَ وَلا يَحْتَرِمُ إِنْسَاناً.٢
3 A widow was in that city, and she often came to him, saying, 'Give me justice against my adversary.'
وَكَانَ فِي تِلْكَ الْمَدِينَةِ أَرْمَلَةٌ كَانَتْ تَأْتِي إِلَيْهِ قَائِلَةً: أَنْصِفْنِي مِنْ خَصْمِي!٣
4 He would not for a while, but afterward he said to himself, 'Though I neither fear God, nor respect people,
فَظَلَّ يَرْفُضُ طَلَبَهَا مُدَّةً مِنَ الزَّمَنِ. وَلكِنَّهُ بَعْدَ ذلِكَ قَالَ فِي نَفْسِهِ: حَتَّى لَوْ كُنْتُ لَا أَخَافُ اللهَ وَلا أَحْتَرِمُ إِنْسَاناً،٤
5 yet because this widow bothers me, I will give her justice, or else she will wear me out by her continual coming.'"
فَمَهْمَا يَكُنْ، فَلأَنَّ هذِهِ الأَرْمَلَةَ تُزْعِجُنِي سَأُنْصِفُهَا، لِئَلّا تَأْتِيَ دَائِماً فَتُصَدِّعَ رَأْسِي!»٥
6 The Lord said, "Listen to what the unrighteous judge says.
وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ: «اسْمَعُوا مَا يَقُولُهُ الْقَاضِي الظَّالِمُ.٦
7 Won't God avenge his chosen ones, who are crying out to him day and night, and yet he exercises patience with them?
أَفَلا يُنْصِفُ اللهُ مُخْتَارِيهِ الَّذِينَ يَصْرُخُونَ إِلَيْهِ نَهَاراً وَلَيْلاً؟ أَمَا يُسْرِعُ فِي الاسْتِجَابَةِ لَهُمْ؟٧
8 I tell you that he will avenge them quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?"
أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّهُ يُنْصِفُهُمْ سَرِيعاً. وَلكِنْ، عِنْدَمَا يَعُودُ ابْنُ الإِنْسَانِ، أَيَجِدُ إِيمَاناً عَلَى الأَرْضِ؟»٨
9 He spoke also this parable to certain people who were convinced of their own righteousness, and who despised all others.
وَضَرَبَ أَيْضاً هَذَا الْمَثَلَ لأُنَاسٍ يَثِقُونَ فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ بِأَنَّهُمْ أَبْرَارٌ وَيَحْتَقِرُونَ الآخَرِينَ:٩
10 "Two men went up into the temple to pray; one was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector.
«صَعِدَ إِنْسَانَانِ إِلَى الْهَيْكَلِ لِيُصَلِّيَا، أَحَدُهُمَا فَرِّيسِيٌّ وَالآخَرُ جَابِي ضَرَائِبَ.١٠
11 The Pharisee stood and prayed to himself like this: 'God, I thank you, that I am not like other people, extortioners, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.
فَوَقَفَ الْفَرِّيسِيُّ يُصَلِّي فِي نَفْسِهِ هكَذَا: أَشْكُرُكَ، يَا اللهُ، لأَنِّي لَسْتُ مِثْلَ بَاقِي النَّاسِ الطَّمَّاعِينَ الظَّالِمِينَ الزُّنَاةِ، وَلا مِثْلَ جَابِي الضَّرَائِبِ هَذَا:١١
12 I fast twice a week. I give tithes of all that I get.'
أَصُومُ مَرَّتَيْنِ فِي الأُسْبُوعِ، وَأُقَدِّمُ عُشْرَ كُلِّ مَا أَجْنِيهِ!١٢
13 But the tax collector, standing far away, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful to me, a sinner.'
وَلكِنَّ جَابِيَ الضَّرَائِبِ، وَقَفَ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ وَهُوَ لَا يَجْرُؤُ أَنْ يَرْفَعَ عَيْنَيْهِ نَحْوَ السَّمَاءِ، بَلْ قَرَعَ صَدْرَهُ قَائِلاً: ارْحَمْنِي، يَا اللهُ، أَنَا الْخَاطِئُ!١٣
14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted."
أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ هَذَا الإِنْسَانَ نَزَلَ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ مُبَرَّراً، بِعَكْسِ الآخَرِ. فَإِنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ يُرَفِّعُ نَفْسَهُ يُوضَعُ؛ وَمَنْ يَضَعُ نَفْسَهُ يُرَفَّعُ».١٤
15 Now they were also bringing their babies to him, that he might touch them. But when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
وَأَحْضَرَ بَعْضُهُمْ أَطْفَالاً أَيْضاً لِيَلْمِسَهُمْ. وَلكِنَّ التَّلامِيذَ لَمَّا رَأَوْهُمْ زَجَرُوهُمْ.١٥
16 Yeshua summoned them, saying, "Allow the little children to come to me, and do not hinder them, for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
أَمَّا يَسُوعُ فَدَعَاهُمْ إِلَيْهِ وَقَالَ: «دَعُوا الصِّغَارَ يَأْتُونَ إِلَيَّ، وَلا تَمْنَعُوهُمْ: لأَنَّ لِمِثْلِ هؤُلاءِ مَلَكُوتَ اللهِ!١٦
17 Truly, I tell you, whoever does not receive the Kingdom of God like a little child, he will in no way enter into it."
الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: مَنْ لَا يَقْبَلُ مَلَكُوتَ اللهِ كَأَنَّهُ وَلَدٌ صَغِيرٌ، فَلَنْ يَدْخُلَهُ أَبَداً!»١٧
18 A certain ruler asked him, saying, "Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit everlasting life?" (aiōnios g166)
وَسَأَلَهُ وَاحِدٌ مِنَ الرُّؤَسَاءِ قَائِلاً: «أَيُّهَا الْمُعَلِّمُ الصَّالِحُ، مَاذَا أَعْمَلُ لأَرِثَ الْحَيَاةَ الأَبَدِيَّةَ؟» (aiōnios g166)١٨
19 Yeshua asked him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good, except one—God.
وَلَكِنَّ يَسُوعَ قَالَ لَهُ: «لِمَاذَا تَدْعُونِي الصَّالِحَ؟ لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ صَالِحاً إِلّا وَاحِدٌ، وَهُوَ اللهُ!١٩
20 You know the commandments: 'Do not commit adultery,' 'Do not murder,' 'Do not steal,' 'Do not give false testimony,' 'Honor your father and your mother.'"
أَنْتَ تَعْرِفُ الْوَصَايَا: لَا تَزْنِ؛ لَا تَقْتُلْ؛ لَا تَسْرِقْ؛ لَا تَشْهَدْ بِالزُّورِ؛ أَكْرِمْ أَبَاكَ وَأُمَّكَ!»٢٠
21 And he said, "I have kept all these things from my youth up."
فَقَالَ: «هَذِهِ كُلُّهَا عَمِلْتُ بِها مُنْذُ صِغَرِي!»٢١
22 When Yeshua heard it, he said to him, "You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have, and distribute it to the poor. You will have treasure in heaven. Come, follow me."
فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ يَسُوعُ هَذَا، قَالَ لَهُ: «يَنْقُصُكَ شَيْءٌ وَاحِدٌ: بِعْ كُلَّ مَا عِنْدَكَ، وَوَزِّعْ عَلَى الْفُقَرَاءِ، فَيَكُونَ لَكَ كَنْزٌ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ. ثُمَّ تَعَالَ اتْبَعْنِي!»٢٢
23 But when he heard these things, he became very sad, for he was very rich.
وَلكِنَّهُ لَمَّا سَمِعَ ذلِكَ، حَزِنَ حُزْناً شَدِيداً، لأَنَّهُ كَانَ غَنِيًّا جِدّاً.٢٣
24 And Yeshua looked at him and said, "How hard it is for those who have riches to enter into the Kingdom of God.
فَلَمَّا رَأَى يَسُوعُ ذَلِكَ مِنْهُ، قَالَ: «مَا أَصْعَبَ دُخُولَ الأَغْنِيَاءِ إِلَى مَلَكُوتِ اللهِ!٢٤
25 For it is easier for a camel to enter in through a needle's eye, than for a rich person to enter into the Kingdom of God."
فَإِنَّ مُرُورَ جَمَلٍ فِي ثَقْبِ إِبْرَةٍ أَسْهَلُ مِنْ دُخُولِ غَنِيٍّ إِلَى مَلَكُوتِ اللهِ».٢٥
26 Those who heard it said, "Then who can be saved?"
فَقَالَ الَّذِينَ سَمِعُوا ذَلِكَ: «إِذَنْ، مَنْ يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يَخْلُصَ؟»٢٦
27 But he said, "The things which are impossible with man are possible with God."
فَقَالَ: «إِنَّ الْمُسْتَحِيلَ عِنْدَ النَّاسِ مُسْتَطَاعٌ عِنْدَ اللهِ!»٢٧
28 And Kipha said, "Look, we have left our own things and followed you."
فَقَالَ بُطْرُسُ: «هَا نَحْنُ قَدْ تَرَكْنَا كُلَّ شَيْءٍ وَتَبِعْنَاكَ!»٢٨
29 He said to them, "Truly I tell you, there is no one who has left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children, for the Kingdom of God's sake,
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «الحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: مَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ تَرَكَ بَيْتاً، أَوْ زَوْجَةً، أَوْ إِخْوَةً أَوْ وَالِدَيْنِ، أَوْ أَوْلاداً، مِنْ أَجْلِ مَلَكُوتِ اللهِ،٢٩
30 who will not receive many times more in this time, and in the world to come, everlasting life." (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
إِلّا وَيَنَالُ أَضْعَافَ ذَلِكَ فِي هَذَا الزَّمَانِ، وَيَنَالُ فِي الزَّمَانِ الآتِي الْحَيَاةَ الأَبَدِيَّةَ!» (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)٣٠
31 He took the twelve aside, and said to them, "Look, we are going up to Urishlim, and all the things that are written through the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be completed.
ثُمَّ انْتَحَى بِالاثْنَيْ عَشَرَ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «هَا نَحْنُ صَاعِدُونَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَسَوْفَ تَتِمُّ جَمِيعُ الأُمُورِ الَّتِي كَتَبَهَا الأَنْبِيَاءُ عَنِ ابْنِ الإِنْسَانِ.٣١
32 For he will be delivered up to the non-Jews, will be mocked, treated shamefully, and spit on.
فَإِنَّهُ سَيُسَلَّمُ إِلَى أَيْدِي الأُمَمِ، فَيُسْتَهْزَأُ بِهِ وَيُهَانُ وَيُبْصَقُ عَلَيْهِ.٣٢
33 They will scourge and kill him. On the third day, he will rise again."
وَبَعْدَ أَنْ يَجْلِدُوهُ يَقْتُلُونَهُ. وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ يَقُومُ!»٣٣
34 They understood none of these things. This saying was hidden from them, and they did not understand the things that were said.
وَلكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَفْهَمُوا شَيْئاً مِنْ ذلِكَ. وَكَانَ هَذَا الأَمْرُ خَافِياً عَنْهُمْ، وَلَمْ يُدْرِكُوا مَا قِيلَ.٣٤
35 It happened, as he came near Irikhu, a certain blind man sat by the road, begging.
وَلَمَّا وَصَلَ إِلَى جُوَارِ أَرِيحَا، كَانَ أَحَدُ الْعُمْيَانِ جَالِساً عَلَى جَانِبِ الطَّرِيقِ يَسْتَعْطِي.٣٥
36 Hearing a crowd going by, he asked what this meant.
فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ مُرُورَ الْجَمْعِ، اسْتَخْبَرَ عَمَّا عَسَى أَنْ يَكُونَ ذَلِكَ.٣٦
37 They told him that Yeshua of Natsrath was passing by.
فَقِيلَ لَهُ: «إِنَّ يَسُوعَ النَّاصِرِيَّ مَارٌّ مِنْ هُنَاكَ».٣٧
38 He called out, "Yeshua, Son of Dawid, have mercy on me."
فَنَادَى قَائِلاً «يَا يَسُوعُ ابْنَ دَاوُدَ، ارْحَمْنِي!»٣٨
39 Those who led the way rebuked him, that he should be quiet; but he shouted all the more, "Son of Dawid, have mercy on me."
فَزَجَرَهُ السَّائِرُونَ فِي الْمُقَدِّمَةِ لِيَسْكُتَ. وَلكِنَّهُ أَخَذَ يَزِيدُ صُرَاخاً أَكْثَرَ: «يَا ابْنَ دَاوُدَ، ارْحَمْنِي!»٣٩
40 Standing still, Yeshua commanded him to be brought to him. When he had come near, he asked him,
فَتَوَقَّفَ يَسُوعَ وَأَمَرَ أَنْ يُؤْتَى بِهِ إِلَيْهِ. فَلَمَّا اقْتَرَبَ سَأَلَهُ:٤٠
41 "What do you want me to do?" He said, "Lord, that I may see again."
«مَاذَا تُرِيدُ أَنْ أَفْعَلَ لَكَ؟» فَقَالَ: «يَا رَبُّ، أَنْ تَرُدَّ لِي الْبَصَرَ!»٤١
42 Yeshua said to him, "Receive your sight. Your faith has healed you."
فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «أَبْصِرْ! إِيمَانُكَ قَدْ شَفَاكَ».٤٢
43 And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God. All the people, when they saw it, praised God.
وَفِي الْحَالِ أَبْصَرَ، وَتَبِعَهُ وَهُوَ يُمَجِّدُ اللهَ. وَلَمَّا رَأَى جَميعُ الشَّعْبِ ذَلِكَ، سَبَّحُوا اللهَ.٤٣
