و هنگامی که او در موضعی دعا می‌کردچون فارغ شد، یکی از شاگردانش به وی گفت: «خداوندا دعا کردن را به ما تعلیم نما، چنانکه یحیی شاگردان خود را بیاموخت.» ۱ 1
One day Jesus was somewhere praying. When he finished [praying], one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us [what to say when] we [(exc)] pray, as John [the Baptizer] taught his disciples!”
بدیشان گفت: «هرگاه دعا کنید گویید‌ای پدرما که در آسمانی، نام تو مقدس باد. ملکوت توبیاید. اراده تو چنانکه در آسمان است در زمین نیزکرده شود. ۲ 2
He said to them, “When you pray, say [things like this]: ‘Father, we want you [(sg)] [MTY] to be honored/revered. [We want people to let you(sg)] [MTY, MET] rule over their lives.
نان کفاف ما را روز به روز به ما بده. ۳ 3
Give us [(exc)] each day the food [SYN] that we need.
و گناهان ما را ببخش زیرا که ما نیز هر قرضدار خود را می‌بخشیم. و ما را در آزمایش میاور، بلکه ما را از شریر رهایی ده.» ۴ 4
Forgive us [for] the wrong things that we have done, because we forgive people for the wrong things that they do to us. Do not let us do wrong things when we are tempted {[someone or something] tempts us}.’”
و بدیشان گفت: «کیست از شما که دوستی داشته باشد و نصف شب نزد وی آمده بگوید‌ای دوست سه قرص نان به من قرض ده، ۵ 5
Then he said to them, “Suppose that one of you goes to the house of a friend at midnight. Suppose that you [(sg) stand outside and] call out to him, ‘My friend, please lend me three buns!
چونکه یکی از دوستان من از سفر بر من وارد شده وچیزی ندارم که پیش او گذارم. ۶ 6
Another friend of mine who is traveling has just arrived [at my house], but I have no food [ready] to give to him!’
پس او از اندرون در جواب گوید مرا زحمت مده، زیرا که الان دربسته است و بچه های من در رختخواب با من خفته‌اند نمی توانم برخاست تا به تو دهم. ۷ 7
Suppose that he answers you from inside [his house], ‘Do not bother me! The door has been locked {[We(exc)] have locked the door} and all my family are in bed. [So] I cannot get up and give you [(sg)] anything!’
به شمامی گویم هر‌چند به علت دوستی برنخیزد تا بدودهد، لیکن بجهت لجاجت خواهد برخاست و هرآنچه حاجت دارد، بدو خواهد داد. ۸ 8
I will tell you that even if he does not [want to] get up and give you [any food], to avoid being ashamed [for not helping you] because you are his friend (OR, if without being ashamed you continue asking him to do that), he certainly will get up and give you whatever you need.
«و من به شما می‌گویم سوال کنید که به شماداده خواهد شد. بطلبید که خواهید یافت. بکوبیدکه برای شما بازکرده خواهد شد. ۹ 9
So I tell you this: Keep asking [God for what you need]. If you do that, [he] will give it to you [(pl)]. Confidently keep expecting [God to give you the things that you need], and [he] will give them to you [MET]. [It will be like] looking for what you need and finding it. Keep on [praying urgently to God. Then God will answer you. It will be like] knocking [on a door] so that [God] will open [the way] for you [to get what you pray for].
زیرا هر‌که سوال کند، یابد و هر‌که بطلبد، خواهد یافت وهرکه کوبد، برای او باز کرده خواهد شد. ۱۰ 10
Remember that [God] will give things to everyone who continues to ask [him for them]. [He] will give things to whoever confidently keeps asking. [He] will open [the way] for people [to get the things that they keep urgently praying for].
وکیست از شما که پدر باشد و پسرش از او نان خواهد، سنگی بدو دهد یا اگر ماهی خواهد، به عوض ماهی ماری بدو بخشد، ۱۱ 11
If one of you had a son who asked you [(sg)] for a fish [to eat], (you [(sg)] certainly would not give him a [poisonous] snake instead!/would you give him a [poisonous] snake instead?) [RHQ]
یا اگرتخم‌مرغی بخواهد، عقربی بدو عطا کند. ۱۲ 12
If he asked you for an egg, (you [(sg)] certainly would not give him a scorpion!/would you give him a scorpion?) [RHQ]
پس اگر شما با آنکه شریر هستید می‌دانید چیزهای نیکو را به اولاد خود باید داد، چند مرتبه زیادترپدر آسمانی شما روح‌القدس را خواهد داد به هرکه از او سوال کند.» ۱۳ 13
Even though you people are evil, you know how to give good things to your children. So your Father in heaven will certainly [give good things] to those who ask him, [including] giving the Holy Spirit, [who is the best gift].”
و دیوی را که گنگ بود بیرون می‌کرد وچون دیو بیرون شد، گنگ گویا گردید و مردم تعجب نمودند. ۱۴ 14
[One day there was a man there who, because a demon controlled him] [MTY], was unable to speak. After [Jesus expelled] the demon, the man [began to] talk. [Most of] the people [there] were amazed.
لیکن بعضی از ایشان گفتند که «دیوها را به یاری بعلزبول رئیس دیوها بیرون می‌کند.» ۱۵ 15
But some of them said, “It is Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons, who enables [this man] to expel demons!”
و دیگران از روی امتحان آیتی آسمانی از او طلب نمودند. ۱۶ 16
Other [people there] asked Jesus to perform a miracle [to prove (he was the Messiah/that he had come] from God) [MTY/EUP]. They wanted to trap him [into not being able to perform a miracle or into doing something ridiculous].
پس او خیالات ایشان را درک کرده بدیشان گفت: «هر مملکتی که برخلاف خود منقسم شود، تباه گردد و خانه‌ای که بر خانه منقسم شود، منهدم گردد. ۱۷ 17
But Jesus knew what they were thinking. So he said to them, “If [the people in] one nation fight against each other, their nation will be destroyed {[they] will destroy their nation}. If [the people in] [MTY] one house are divided, they will cease to remain as one [family].
پس شیطان نیز اگر به ضد خود منقسم شود سلطنت اوچگونه پایدار بماند. زیرا می‌گویید که من به اعانت بعلزبول دیوها را بیرون می‌کنم. ۱۸ 18
[Similarly], if Satan [and his demons] were fighting against each other, (his rule over them would [certainly] not last!/how would his rule over them last?) [RHQ] [I say this] because you are saying that I am expelling demons by [the power of] the ruler of [his own demons]
پس اگرمن دیوها را به وساطت بعلزبول بیرون می‌کنم، پسران شما به وساطت که آنها را بیرون می‌کنند؟ از اینجهت ایشان داوران بر شما خواهند بود. ۱۹ 19
Furthermore, if [it is true that] Satan enables me to expel demons, [is it also true that] your disciples [who] expel demons [do so] by [Satan’s] power [RHQ]? [No, that is not true]. So they will show that you [are not thinking logically].
لیکن هرگاه به انگشت خدا دیوها را بیرون می‌کنم، هرآینه ملکوت خدا ناگهان بر شما آمده است. ۲۰ 20
But because it is by the power [MTY] of God [that I expel demons], I am showing you [that the power of] God to [MET] rule [people’s lives] has come to you.”
وقتی که مرد زورآور سلاح پوشیده خانه خود را نگاه دارد، اموال او محفوظ می‌باشد. ۲۱ 21
Then, [to show that by expelling evil spirits he was making it clear that he was much more powerful than Satan, Jesus said] [MET], “When a strong man who has many weapons guards his own house, no one can steal the things in his house.
اما چون شخصی زورآورتر از او آید بر او غلبه یافته همه اسلحه او را که بدان اعتماد می‌داشت، از او می‌گیرد و اموال او را تقسیم می‌کند. ۲۲ 22
But when someone else who is stronger attacks that man and subdues him, he is able to take away the weapons in which the man trusted. Then he can take from that man’s house anything he [wants to].
کسی‌که با من نیست، برخلاف من است و آنکه با من جمع نمی کند، پراکنده می‌سازد. ۲۳ 23
[No one can be neutral]. Those who do not help me [are opposing] me, and those who do not gather [people to become] my [disciples] are causing [those people] to go away [from me].”
چون روح پلید از انسان بیرون آید به مکانهای بی‌آب بطلب آرامی گردش می‌کند وچون نیافت می‌گوید به خانه خود که از آن بیرون آمدم برمی گردم. ۲۴ 24
[Then Jesus said this]: “[Sometimes when] an evil spirit leaves someone, it wanders around in desolate areas seeking [someone in whom it can] rest. If it does not find anyone, it says [to itself], ‘I will return to the person in whom I used to live!’
پس چون آید، آن را جاروب کرده شده و آراسته می‌بیند. ۲۵ 25
So it goes back and finds that [the Spirit of God is not in control of that person’s life. The person’s life is like] a house that has been {that someone has} swept clean and everything put {put everything} in order, [but a house that is empty].
آنگاه می‌رود وهفت روح دیگر، شریرتر از خود برداشته داخل شده در آنجا ساکن می‌گردد و اواخر آن شخص ازاوائلش بدتر می‌شود.» ۲۶ 26
Then [this evil spirit] goes and gets seven other spirits that are [even] more evil than it is. They [all] enter [that person] and [begin] living there. [So], [although] that person’s condition [was bad] before, it became much worse.”
چون او این سخنان را می‌گفت، زنی از آن میان به آواز بلند وی را گفت «خوشابحال آن رحمی که تو را حمل کرد و پستانهایی که مکیدی.» ۲۷ 27
When Jesus said that, a woman who was listening called out [to him], “[God is] pleased with the woman who gave birth to you [(sg)] and let you nurse [at her breasts]!”
لیکن او گفت: «بلکه خوشابحال آنانی که کلام خدا را می‌شنوند و آن را حفظمی کنند.» ۲۸ 28
But he replied, “God [is] much more pleased with those who hear his message and obey it!”
و هنگامی که مردم بر او ازدحام می‌نمودند، سخن‌گفتن آغاز کرد که «اینان فرقه‌ای شریرند که آیتی طلب می‌کنند و آیتی بدیشان عطا نخواهدشد، جز آیت یونس نبی. ۲۹ 29
When the group of people around [Jesus] got larger, he said, “[Many of] you people who have been observing my ministry are evil. You want [me to perform] a miracle [to prove that I have come from God], but the only miracle that [I] will perform for you is one [like happened to] Jonah.
زیرا چنانکه یونس برای اهل نینوا آیت شد، همچنین پسر انسان نیزبرای این فرقه خواهد بود. ۳۰ 30
[After Jonah was inside a huge fish for three days, God performed] a miracle [to restore] Jonah. [Jonah then went and testified about that] to the people in Nineveh [city. God will perform] a similar miracle [for me], the one who came from heaven. [When you people have seen that miracle, you will believe my message].
ملکه جنوب در روزداوری با مردم این فرقه برخاسته، بر ایشان حکم خواهد کرد زیرا که از اقصای زمین آمد تا حکمت سلیمان را بشنود و اینک در اینجا کسی بزرگتر ازسلیمان است. ۳۱ 31
[Long ago the] queen from [Sheba], [far] south [of Israel, traveled a long distance to hear Solomon speak many] wise things. But now [I, a man] who [is much] greater [and wiser] than Solomon, am here, [but you have not listened to what I have told you]. Therefore, at the time when [God] judges [all people], the queen from [Sheba] will stand there, [along] with you people, and will condemn you.
مردم نینوا در روز داوری با این طبقه برخاسته بر ایشان حکم خواهند کرد زیرا که به موعظه یونس توبه کردند و اینک در اینجا کسی بزرگتر از یونس است. ۳۲ 32
The people who lived in Nineveh [city] turned from their sinful ways when Jonah preached to them. But now I, who am greater than Jonah, have come [and preached to you], [but you have not turned from your sinful ways]. Therefore, at the time when God judges [all people], the people who lived in Nineveh will stand there with you and condemn you.”
و هیچ‌کس چراغی نمی افروزد تا آن را درپنهانی یا زیر پیمانه‌ای بگذارد، بلکه بر چراغدان، تا هر‌که داخل شود روشنی را بیند. ۳۳ 33
[Then, to show them that they did not need more miracles, but that they needed only to understand better what he had already told them, he said to them] [MET], “People who light a lamp do not then hide it, or put it under a basket. Instead, they put it on a lampstand so that those who enter [their house] can see [things from] its light. [Similarly, I have not concealed God’s truth. I have revealed it to you].
چراغ بدن چشم است، پس مادامی که چشم تو بسیط است تمامی جسدت نیز روشن است و لیکن اگر فاسدباشد، جسد تو نیز تاریک بود. ۳۴ 34
Your eyes [MET] are like a lamp for your body, because they enable you to see things. If your eyes are healthy, you are able to see everything well [MET]. [Similarly, if you(sg) accept my teaching, you will be able to know all that God wants you to know]. But if your eyes are bad, you are not able to see anything. It is like being in darkness [MET]. [And similarly, if you(pl) do not accept what I teach, you will not be able to know all the things that God wants you to know].
پس باحذر باش مبادا نوری که در تو است، ظلمت باشد. ۳۵ 35
Therefore, [you(pl) do not need to see more miracles. You need to think carefully about what I have already] told you, so that the things that you have heard from others do not cause you to remain in spiritual darkness [MET].
بنابراین هرگاه تمامی جسم تو روشن باشد وذره‌ای ظلمت نداشته باشد همه‌اش روشن خواهد بود، مثل وقتی که چراغ به تابش خود، تورا روشنایی می‌دهد.» ۳۶ 36
If you [live completely according to God’s truth, you will be able to know everything that God wants you to know. It will be like] being in a room with a lamp shining brightly, enabling you to see everything clearly.”
و هنگامی که سخن می‌گفت یکی ازفریسیان از او وعده خواست که در خانه اوچاشت بخورد. پس داخل شده بنشست. ۳۷ 37
While Jesus finished saying those things, a Pharisee invited him to eat a meal with him. So Jesus went to [his house] and ate with him.
امافریسی چون دید که پیش از چاشت دست نشست، تعجب نمود. ۳۸ 38
The Pharisee was surprised when he saw that Jesus did not follow the Pharisees’ ritual by washing his hands before eating. [The Pharisees washed their hands in a certain way to be cleansed from anything that might have contaminated them. They were afraid that God might reject them if they] had [touched something unacceptable to God].
خداوند وی را گفت: «همانا شما‌ای فریسیان بیرون پیاله و بشقاب راطاهر می‌سازید ولی درون شما پر از حرص وخباثت است. ۳۹ 39
The Lord [Jesus] said to him, “You Pharisees are [concerned about things that are outside your bodies, not with what is in your] ([inner beings/hearts]) [MET]. You wash the outside of cups and dishes [before you eat because you think that doing that will make you acceptable to God], but within yourselves you are very greedy and wicked.
‌ای احمقان آیا او که بیرون راآفرید، اندرون را نیز نیافرید؟ ۴۰ 40
You foolish people! [God] is concerned about things that are outside [our bodies], but (he is certainly also concerned about our inner [beings]!/isn’t he also concerned about our hearts?) [RHQ]
بلکه از آنچه دارید، صدقه دهید که اینک همه‌چیز برای شماطاهر خواهد گشت. ۴۱ 41
Give [money] to those who are poor. [Give according to what you know within] your (inner [/heart]) [that you should give]. Then you [will be surprised to realize that] you will be acceptable [to God without having to perform all those rituals about washing].
وای بر شما‌ای فریسیان که ده‌یک از نعناع و سداب و هر قسم سبزی رامی دهید و از دادرسی و محبت خدا تجاوزمی نمایید، اینها را می‌باید به‌جا آورید و آنها رانیز ترک نکنید. ۴۲ 42
But there will be terrible punishment for you Pharisees! You give to God a tenth of [all you produce, even] the various herbs that you grow, but you do not [remember that you must act] justly [toward others] and love God! It is good to [give a tenth of your income to God], but you ought to do these other things also!
وای بر شما‌ای فریسیان که صدر کنایس و سلام در بازارها را دوست می‌دارید. ۴۳ 43
There will be terrible punishment for you Pharisees, because you like [to sit in] the best seats in our worship places [so that people will think highly of you], and you like people to greet you [respectfully] in the marketplaces.
وای بر شما‌ای کاتبان و فریسیان ریاکار زیرا که مانند قبرهای پنهان شده هستید که مردم بر آنها راه می‌روند و نمی دانند.» ۴۴ 44
There will be terrible punishment for you, because you are like ground where there is no marker [to indicate that there is a] grave [underneath]. People walk there, but they cannot see [what is rotten down below] [MET]! [Similarly, people who see you do not realize how polluted you are within yourselves].”
آنگاه یکی از فقها جواب داده گفت: «ای معلم، بدین سخنان ما را نیز سرزنش می‌کنی؟» ۴۵ 45
One of those who taught the [Jewish] laws replied, “Teacher, by saying this you [(sg)] are criticizing us [also]!”
گفت «وای بر شما نیز‌ای فقها زیرا که بارهای گران را بر مردم می‌نهید و خود بر آن بارها، یک انگشت خود را نمی گذارید. ۴۶ 46
Jesus said, “It will be terrible also for you who teach the [Jewish] laws! You require people [to obey many rules that are difficult to obey] [MET]. [That is like making them] carry heavy burdens on their backs. But you yourselves do not obey the laws [that you require others to obey]. (OR, you do not do anything to help [others to obey the laws].)
وای بر شما زیراکه مقابر انبیا را بنا می‌کنید و پدران شما ایشان راکشتند. ۴۷ 47
There will be terrible punishment for you! You decorate the tombs of the prophets whom your ancestors killed, [but you do not live according to what the prophets taught].
پس به‌کارهای پدران خود شهادت می‌دهید و از آنها راضی هستید، زیرا آنها ایشان را کشتند و شما قبرهای ایشان را می‌سازید. ۴۸ 48
So you are declaring that you approve of what your ancestors did. They killed the prophets, and you [are not honoring the prophets! You just] decorate their tombs!
ازاین‌رو حکمت خدا نیز فرموده است که به سوی ایشان انبیا و رسولان می‌فرستم و بعضی از ایشان را خواهند کشت و بر بعضی جفا کرد، ۴۹ 49
So God, who is very wise [PRS], said, ‘I will send prophets and apostles [to you Jews]. [You] will kill some of them and cause some of them to suffer greatly.
تا انتقام خون جمیع انبیا که از بنای عالم ریخته شد از این طبقه گرفته شود. ۵۰ 50
[As a result, I] will consider that many of you people [who have observed my Son’s ministry] will be guilty [MTY] [of murder, as if you had] killed all the prophets that other people have killed, from the time I created the world,
از خون هابیل تا خون زکریاکه در میان مذبح و هیکل کشته شد. بلی به شمامی گویم که از این فرقه بازخواست خواهد شد. ۵۱ 51
starting from [Adam’s son Cain] killing [his brother] Abel and continuing until they killed the prophet Zechariah [in the holy place] between the altar and the temple.’ Yes, what I am saying [is true] [MTY]. [God] will punish you people who have observed my ministry, you people whom [he] considers to be guilty [MTY] for [killing] all those prophets!
وای بر شما‌ای فقها، زیرا کلید معرفت رابرداشته‌اید که خود داخل نمی شوید و داخل‌شوندگان را هم مانع می‌شوید.» ۵۲ 52
There will be terrible punishment for you men who teach the [Jewish] laws, because you have [not let people] know [God’s truth] [MET]! [It is as though you are] taking away a key [to a house]. You are not going into [the house] yourselves, and you are not letting other people enter it, either.”
و چون او این سخنان را بدیشان می‌گفت، کاتبان و فریسیان با او بشدت درآویختند و درمطالب بسیار سوالها از او می‌کردند. ۵۳ 53
After Jesus finished saying those things, he left there. Then the men who taught the [Jewish] laws and the Pharisees began to act in a very hostile way toward him. They tried to make him say what he thought about many things.
و در کمین او می‌بودند تا نکته‌ای از زبان او گرفته مدعی اوبشوند. ۵۴ 54
They kept waiting for him to say something [wrong] for which they could accuse him.
