< لوقا 6 >

در یکی از روزهای شَبّات، عیسی و شاگردانش از میان کشتزارهای گندم می‌گذشتند و شاگردان خوشه‌های گندم را می‌چیدند، به کف دست می‌مالیدند و پوستش را کنده، می‌خوردند. 1
One (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest), while Jesus was walking through some grain fields with his disciples, the disciples picked some of the heads of grain. They rubbed them in their hands [to separate the grains from the husks], and ate the grain. [The law of Moses permitted people to do that if they were hungry].
بعضی از فریسیان که این صحنه را دیدند، به عیسی گفتند: «چرا با خوشه‌چینی در روز شبّات، احکام مذهبی را زیر پا می‌گذارید؟» 2
Some Pharisees [who were watching] said to Jesus, “(You should not be doing on our rest day [work] that [our] laws forbid!/Why are you doing on our rest day [work] that our laws forbid?)” [RHQ]
عیسی جواب داد: «مگر در کتب مقدّس نخوانده‌اید که وقتی داوود پادشاه و یارانش گرسنه بودند، چه کردند؟ 3
[Jesus wanted to show them that the record in Scriptures indicated that God permitted people to disobey certain religious laws when they needed food]. [So] he replied, “[It is written in the Scriptures] what [our revered ancestor, King] David did when he and the men with him were hungry. You have read about that, ([but you do not think about what it implies/so why do you not think about what it implies]?) [RHQ]
او وارد معبد شد و با خوردن نان حضور، احکام مذهبی را زیر پا گذاشت، زیرا فقط کاهنان اجازه داشتند از آن نان بخورند. او از این نان به یارانش نیز داد.» 4
David entered God’s big worship tent [and asked for some food]. [The high priest gave him] the bread that the priests had presented to God. It was permitted [in] one of [Moses’ laws] that only the priests could eat that bread. But [even though David was not a priest], he ate some, and gave some to the men who were with him. [And God did not consider that what David did was wrong]!”
سپس عیسی فرمود: «پسر انسان، صاحب اختیار شَبّات نیز هست!» 5
Jesus also said to them, “[I am] the one who came from heaven, so [I] have the authority [to determine what is right for my disciples to do on] the day of rest!”
یک روز دیگر که باز شَبّات بود، عیسی به کنیسه رفت و به تعلیم پرداخت. از قضا، در آنجا مردی حضور داشت که دست راستش از کار افتاده بود. 6
Another (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest) Jesus entered a (synagogue/Jewish meeting place) and taught the people. There was a man there whose right hand was shriveled.
علمای دینی و فریسی‌ها عیسی را زیر نظر داشتند تا ببینند آیا در آن روز شبّات کسی را شفا می‌دهد یا نه، چون دنبال بهانه‌ای بودند تا او را متهم کنند که در شبّات کار می‌کند. 7
The men who taught the [Jewish] laws and the Pharisees [who were there] watched Jesus, to see if he would heal the man (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day). They did this so that, [if he healed the man], they would accuse him [of disobeying their laws by working on the day of rest].
عیسی که افکار ایشان را درک کرده بود، به آن مرد فرمود: «بیا اینجا بایست تا همه بتوانند تو را ببینند!» او نیز رفت و ایستاد. 8
But Jesus knew what they were thinking. So he said to the man with the shriveled hand, “Come and stand here [in front of everyone]!” So the man got up and stood there.
عیسی به فریسی‌ها و علمای دینی فرمود: «سؤالی از شما دارم: آیا طبق شریعت در روز شَبّات باید نیکی کرد یا بدی؟ باید جان انسان را نجات داد یا آن را نابود کرد؟» 9
Then Jesus said to the others, “I ask you this: Do the laws that [God gave Moses] permit [people] to do what is good (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day), or [do they permit people] to harm [others]? [Do they permit us] to save [a person’s] life [on our day of rest] or to let [him] die [HYP] [by refusing to help him]?”
سپس به یک‌یک ایشان نگریست و به آن مرد گفت: «دستت را دراز کن!» او نیز اطاعت کرد و دستش سالم شد. 10
[They refused to answer him. So] after he looked around at them all, he said to the man, “Stretch out your [shriveled] hand!” The man did that, and his hand became all right again!
دشمنان عیسی از این کار او به خشم آمده، با یکدیگر به گفتگو پرداختند که با او چه کنند. 11
But the men who taught the Jewish laws and the Pharisees were very angry, and they discussed with one another what they could do to [get rid of] Jesus.
در یکی از آن روزها، عیسی برای دعا به کوهستان رفت و تمام شب را به راز و نیاز با خدا پرداخت. 12
About that time [Jesus] went up into the hills to pray. He prayed to God all night.
صبح زود، پیروان خود را فرا خواند و از میان آنها، دوازده نفر را برگزید و ایشان را رسول خواند: 13
The next day he summoned all his disciples to come near him. From them he chose twelve men, whom he called apostles.
شمعون (که او را پطرس نامید)، آندریاس (برادر پطرس)، یعقوب، یوحنا، فیلیپ، برتولما، 14
They were Simon, to whom he gave the [new] name, Peter; Andrew, Peter’s [younger] brother; James and [his younger brother], John; Philip; Bartholomew;
متی، توما، یعقوب (پسر حلفی)، شمعون (معروف به فدایی)، 15
Matthew, whose other name was Levi; Thomas; [another] James, the [son] of Alpheus; Simon, who belonged to the party [that encouraged people to] rebel [against the Roman government];
یهودا (پسر یعقوب)، یهودا اسخریوطی (کسی که در آخر به عیسی خیانت کرد). 16
Judas, the [son] of [another] James; and Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]), the one who later (betrayed Jesus./enabled the Jewish leaders to seize Jesus.)
سپس همگی از دامنه کوه پایین آمدند و به محلی وسیع و هموار رسیدند. در آنجا تمام پیروانش و گروه بسیاری از مردم، گرد او جمع شدند. این عده از سراسر ایالت یهودیه، اورشلیم و حتی سواحل شمالی صور و صیدون آمده بودند تا سخنان او را بشنوند و از امراض خود شفا یابند. 17
[Jesus] came down from the hills with his disciples and stood on a level area. There was a very big crowd of his disciples there. There was also a large group of people who had come from Jerusalem and from many [other] places [in] Judea [district], and from the coastal areas near Tyre and Sidon [cities].
آن کسانی نیز که از ارواح پلید رنج می‌بردند، آمدند و شفا یافتند. 18
They came to hear Jesus talk to them and to be healed {and for him to heal them} from their diseases. He also healed those whom evil spirits had troubled.
مردم همه کوشش می‌کردند خود را به او برسانند، چون به محض اینکه به او دست می‌زدند، نیرویی از او صادر می‌شد و آنان را شفا می‌بخشید! 19
Everyone [in the crowd] tried to touch him, because he was healing everyone by [his/God’s] power.
در این هنگام، عیسی رو به شاگردان خود کرد و فرمود: «خوشا به حال شما که فقیرید، زیرا ملکوت خدا از آن شماست! 20
He looked [MTY] at his disciples and said, “[God] is pleased with you [who know] that you lack what [he wants you to have; ] he will allow you to be the people whose lives he rules over.
«خوشا به حال شما که اکنون گرسنه‌اید، زیرا سیر و بی‌نیاز خواهید شد. خوشا به حال شما که گریان هستید، زیرا زمانی خواهد رسید که از خوشی خواهید خندید! 21
[God] is pleased with you who sincerely desire to receive what [MTY] [he wants you to have]; he will give you what you need, until you are satisfied. [God] is pleased with you that grieve now [because of sin]. Later you will be joyful.
«خوشا به حال شما، وقتی که مردم به خاطر پسر انسان، از شما متنفر شوند و شما را در جمع خود راه ندهند و به شما ناسزا گویند و تهمت زنند! 22
[God] is pleased with you when [other] people hate you, when they will not let you join them, when they insult you, when they say that you are evil because [you believe in] me, the one who came from heaven.
در این گونه مواقع شادی و پایکوبی کنید، زیرا در آسمان پاداشی بزرگ در انتظار شماست؛ بدانید که اجداد آنان با انبیای قدیم نیز همین‌گونه رفتار کرده‌اند. 23
When that happens, rejoice! Jump up and down because you are so happy! [God will give] you a great reward in heaven! [When they do these things to you, it will prove that you are God’s servants]. (OR, [People have always treated God’s servants like that].) Do not forget that these people’s ancestors did the same things to the prophets [who served God faithfully]!
«اما وای به حال شما ثروتمندان، زیرا خوشی شما فقط در این جهان است. 24
But there will be terrible punishment for you that are rich; the happiness you have received [from your riches] is the only happiness that you will get.
«وای به حال شما که اکنون سیرید، زیرا گرسنگی سختی در انتظار شماست! «وای به حال شما که امروز خندانید، زیرا عزا و اندوه انتظارتان را می‌کشد! 25
There will be terrible punishment for you who [think that you] have all that you need now; you will [realize] that these things will not make you feel satisfied. There will be terrible punishment for you who are joyful now; you will [later] be very sad.
«وای بر شما، آنگاه که مردم از شما تعریف و تمجید کنند، زیرا نیاکان ایشان با انبیای دروغین نیز به همین‌گونه رفتار می‌کردند! 26
When most [HYP] people speak well about you, trouble is ahead for you; [it will not prove that you are God’s servants, because] your ancestors used to speak well about those who falsely [claimed that they were] prophets.”
«اما به همه شما که سخنان مرا می‌شنوید، می‌گویم که دشمنان خود را دوست بدارید و به کسانی که از شما نفرت دارند، خوبی کنید. 27
“But I say this to each of you [disciples] who are listening [to what I say]: Love your enemies [as well as your friends]. Do good things for those who hate you!
برای آنانی که به شما ناسزا می‌گویند، دعای خیر کنید. برای افرادی که به شما آزار می‌رسانند، برکت خدا را بطلبید. 28
[Ask God to] bless those who curse you! Pray for those who mistreat you!
«اگر کسی به یک طرف صورتت سیلی بزند، طرف دیگر را نیز به او پیشکش کن! اگر کسی خواست عبایت را از تو بگیرد، قبایت را هم از او دریغ نکن. 29
If someone [insults one of you by] striking you on one of your cheeks, turn your face [so that he can strike] the other cheek [also]. If [a bandit] wants to take away your [(sg)] coat, let him also have your shirt.
اگر کسی از تو چیزی بخواهد، به او بده، و اگر کسی اموالت را از تو بگیرد، در فکر پس گرفتن نباش. 30
Give something to everyone who asks you [(sg) for something]. If someone takes away things that belong to you [(sg)], do not ask him to return them.
با مردم آن گونه رفتار کنید که انتظار دارید با شما رفتار کنند. 31
In whatever way you [(pl)] want others to act toward you, that is the way that you should act toward them.
«اگر فقط کسانی را دوست بدارید که شما را دوست می‌دارند، چه برتری بر دیگران دارید؟ حتی خطاکاران نیز چنین می‌کنند! 32
If you love [only] those who love you, do not [expect God] to praise you for [doing that] [RHQ], [because] even sinners love those who love them.
اگر فقط به کسانی خوبی کنید که به شما خوبی می‌کنند، آیا کار بزرگی کرده‌اید؟ گناهکاران نیز چنین می‌کنند! 33
If you do good things [only] for those who do good things for you, do not [expect God] to reward you [for doing that] [RHQ], [because] even sinners do that.
و اگر فقط به کسانی قرض بدهید که می‌توانند به شما پس بدهند، چه هنری کرده‌اید؟ حتی گناهکاران نیز اگر بدانند پولشان را پس می‌گیرند، به یکدیگر قرض می‌دهند. 34
If you lend [things or money only] to those who you expect will give something back to you, do not [expect that God] will reward you [RHQ] [for doing that]. Even sinners lend to other sinners, because they expect them to pay everything back.
«اما شما، دشمنانتان را دوست بدارید و به ایشان خوبی کنید! قرض بدهید و نگران پس گرفتن آن نباشید. در این صورت پاداش آسمانی شما بزرگ خواهد بود، زیرا همچون فرزندان خدای متعال رفتار کرده‌اید، چون خدا نیز نسبت به حق‌ناشناسان و بدکاران مهربان است. 35
Instead, love your enemies! Do good things for them! Lend to them, and do not expect them to pay anything back! [If you do that, God will give] you a big reward. And you will be [acting like] his children [should]. Remember that God is kind to people who are not grateful and to people who are wicked, [and he expects you to be like that too].
پس مانند پدر آسمانی خود دلسوز باشید. 36
Act mercifully toward others, just like your Father [in heaven acts] mercifully [toward you].”
«در مورد دیگران قضاوت نکنید، تا خودتان مورد قضاوت قرار نگیرید. دیگران را محکوم نکنید، تا خدا نیز شما را محکوم نکند. دیگران را ببخشایید تا خودتان نیز بخشوده شوید. 37
“Do not say how sinfully others have acted, and then [God] will not say how sinfully you have acted. Do not condemn others, and then [he] will not condemn you [DOU]. Forgive others [for the evil things that they have done to you], and then [God] will forgive you.
بدهید تا به شما داده شود. هدیه‌ای که می‌دهید، به‌طور کامل به خودتان برخواهد گشت، آن هم با پیمانه‌ای پُر، لبریز، فشرده و تکان داده شده، که در دامنتان ریخته خواهد شد! زیرا هر پیمانه‌ای که به‌کار ببرید، همان برای شما به‌کار خواهد رفت.» 38
Give [good things to others], and then [God] will give [good] things to you. It will be [as though] [MET] [God is putting things in a basket] for you. He will give you a full amount, pressed down in the basket, which he will shake [so that he can put more in], and it will spill over the sides! [Remember that] the way you act [toward others] will be the way that [God] will act toward you!”
سپس عیسی این مثل را آورد: «آیا کور می‌تواند عصاکش کور دیگر بشود؟ آیا اگر یکی در چاه بیفتد، دیگری را هم به دنبال خود نمی‌کشد؟ 39
He also told [his disciples] this parable [to show them that they should be like him, and not be like the Jewish religious leaders]: “(You certainly would not [expect] a blind man to lead another blind man./Would you [expect] a blind man to lead [another] blind man?) [RHQ] If he tried to do [that], (they would both probably fall into a hole!/wouldn’t they both probably fall into a hole?) [RHQ] [I am your teacher, and you disciples should be like me].
شاگرد برتر از استادش نیست، اما شاگردی که به‌طور کامل تربیت شده باشد، مانند استادش خواهد شد. 40
A disciple should not [expect to be] better known than his teacher. But if a student is fully trained {if someone fully trains a student}, the student can become like his teacher [MET]. [So you should be content to be like me].
«چرا پَرِ کاه را در چشم برادرت می‌بینی، اما تیر چوب را در چشم خود نمی‌بینی؟ 41
(Why do you notice [someone else’s small faults]?/None of you should be concerned about [someone else’s small faults] [MET, RHQ].) [That would be like] noticing a speck in that person’s eye. But you should be concerned about [your own big faults. They are like] planks in your own eye, [which you do not notice].
چگونه جرأت می‌کنی به برادرت بگویی:”برادر، بگذار پر کاه را از چشمت درآورم“، حال آنکه خودت تیرِ چوبی در چشم داری؟ ای ریاکار، نخست چوب را از چشم خود درآور، آنگاه می‌توانی بهتر ببینی تا پرِ کاه را از چشم برادرت درآوری. 42
(You [(sg)] should not say, ‘Friend, let me take out that speck in your eye!’ when you do not notice the log in your own eye!/Why do you say, ‘Friend, let me take out that speck in your eye!’ when you do not notice the log in your own eye?) [RHQ] [If you do that], you are a hypocrite! You should first [stop committing your own sins. That will be like] removing the plank from your own eye. Then, as a result, you will have the spiritual insight you need to help others get rid of the [faults that are like] specks in their eyes.”
«اگر درخت خوب باشد، میوه‌اش نیز خوب خواهد بود، و اگر بد باشد، میوه‌اش نیز بد خواهد بود. 43
“[People are like trees] [MET]. Healthy trees do not bear bad fruit (OR, bear only good fruit), and unhealthy trees do not bear good fruit.
درخت را از میوه‌اش می‌شناسند. نه بوتهٔ خار انجیر می‌دهد و نه بوتهٔ تمشک، انگور! 44
[Just like you] can tell if a tree is good or bad by looking at its fruit, [you can tell which people are good and which are bad by looking at the way they] conduct their lives. [For example, because thornbushes cannot produce figs], no one can pick figs from thornbushes. And [since bramble bushes cannot produce grapes], no one can [pick] grapes from bramble bushes.
شخص نیکو از خزانۀ دل نیکویش، چیزهای نیکو بیرون می‌آوَرَد، و انسان شریر از خزانۀ دل بدش، چیزهای شریرانه. زیرا سخنانی از زبان انسان جاری می‌شود که دلش از آن لبریز است. 45
[Similarly], good people will conduct their lives in a good way because they think a lot of good [things], and evil people will live in an evil way because they think a lot of evil [things]. The basic principle is that people speak [and act] according to all that they think.”
«چگونه مرا”خداوندا! خداوندا!“می‌خوانید، اما دستورهایم را اطاعت نمی‌کنید؟ 46
“[Because people should obey what their masters tell them], (it is disgraceful that you say that I am your master but you do not do what I tell you!/why do you say that I am your master but you do not do what I tell you?) [RHQ]
هر که نزد من آید و سخنان مرا بشنود و به آنها عمل کند، 47
Some people come to me, and hear my messages and obey them. I will tell you what they are like.
مانند شخصی است که خانه‌اش را بر بنیاد محکم سنگی می‌سازد. وقتی سیلاب بیاید و به آن خانه فشار بیاورد، پا برجا می‌ماند، زیرا بنیادی محکم دارد. 48
They are like a man who dug deep [into the ground to prepare to build his house]. He made sure that the foundation was on solid ground. Then when there was a flood, the water tried to wash away the house. But the river could not shake the house, because it was built {he built it} on a solid [foundation].
اما کسی که سخنان مرا می‌شنود و اطاعت نمی‌کند، مانند کسی است که خانه‌اش را روی زمین سست بنا می‌کند. هرگاه سیل به آن خانه فشار آوَرَد، فرو می‌ریزد و ویران می‌شود.» 49
But some people hear my messages but do not obey them. They are like a man who built a house on top of the ground without [digging] a foundation. When the river flooded, the house collapsed immediately and was completely ruined. [So it is important for you to obey what I teach you].”
