< لُوقا 10 >
وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ عَيَّنَ ٱلرَّبُّ سَبْعِينَ آخَرِينَ أَيْضًا، وَأَرْسَلَهُمُ ٱثْنَيْنِ ٱثْنَيْنِ أَمَامَ وَجْهِهِ إِلَى كُلِّ مَدِينَةٍ وَمَوْضِعٍ حَيْثُ كَانَ هُوَ مُزْمِعًا أَنْ يَأْتِيَ. | ١ 1 |
After that, the Lord Jesus appointed 72 other [people]. He [prepared to] send them out, two-by-two, to every town and village where he [SYN] intended to go.
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «إِنَّ ٱلْحَصَادَ كَثِيرٌ، وَلَكِنَّ ٱلْفَعَلَةَ قَلِيلُونَ. فَٱطْلُبُوا مِنْ رَبِّ ٱلْحَصَادِ أَنْ يُرْسِلَ فَعَلَةً إِلَى حَصَادِهِ. | ٢ 2 |
He said to them, “The [people who are ready to receive my message] are like a field [of] [MET] [grain] that is ready for [people] to harvest {to be harvested}. But there are not many people [to bring them to God]. So pray and ask the Lord [God] to send [more] workers [who will gather people together and teach them my message, just like a landowner sends workers] into his fields [to gather the] harvest.
اِذْهَبُوا! هَا أَنَا أُرْسِلُكُمْ مِثْلَ حُمْلَانٍ بَيْنَ ذِئَابٍ. | ٣ 3 |
Start going; but [remember that] I am sending you [(pl)] out [to tell my message to people who will try to get rid of you. You will be] like lambs among wolves.
لَا تَحْمِلُوا كِيسًا وَلَا مِزْوَدًا وَلَا أَحْذِيَةً، وَلَا تُسَلِّمُوا عَلَى أَحَدٍ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ. | ٤ 4 |
Do not take along [any money in] a purse. Do not take a traveler’s bag. Do not take [extra] sandals. Do not [spend a lot of time] greeting people along the way.
وَأَيُّ بَيْتٍ دَخَلْتُمُوهُ فَقُولُوا أَوَّلًا: سَلَامٌ لِهَذَا ٱلْبَيْتِ. | ٥ 5 |
Whenever you enter a house [to lodge there], first say to those people, ‘May [God give inner] peace to [you people] [MTY] [in] this house!’
فَإِنْ كَانَ هُنَاكَ ٱبْنُ ٱلسَّلَامِ يَحُلُّ سَلَامُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ، وَإِلَّا فَيَرْجِعُ إِلَيْكُمْ. | ٦ 6 |
If people who [live] there [are (desiring to have]/worthy of receiving) [God’s] peace, they will experience the [inner] peace that you are [offering them]. If people who [live] there [are not desiring to have God’s] peace, you [will experience God’s inner] peace, [but they will not].
وَأَقِيمُوا فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْبَيْتِ آكِلِينَ وَشَارِبِينَ مِمَّا عِنْدَهُمْ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْفَاعِلَ مُسْتَحِقٌّ أُجْرَتَهُ. لَا تَنْتَقِلُوا مِنْ بَيْتٍ إِلَى بَيْتٍ. | ٧ 7 |
[If they welcome you], stay in that same house [until you leave that village]. Do not move around from one house to another. Eat and drink whatever they provide for you. A worker deserves to get pay [MET] [from the people for whom he works, so you deserve to receive food and a place to stay from the people to whom you go].
وَأَيَّةَ مَدِينَةٍ دَخَلْتُمُوهَا وَقَبِلُوكُمْ، فَكُلُوا مِمَّا يُقَدَّمُ لَكُمْ، | ٨ 8 |
Whenever you enter a town and the people [there] welcome you, eat what is provided {what [they] provide} for you.
وَٱشْفُوا ٱلْمَرْضَى ٱلَّذِينَ فِيهَا، وَقُولُوا لَهُمْ: قَدِ ٱقْتَرَبَ مِنْكُمْ مَلَكُوتُ ٱللهِ. | ٩ 9 |
Heal the people there who are sick. Tell them, ‘It is almost [time for] God to send his king to rule [MET] [your lives].’
وَأَيَّةُ مَدِينَةٍ دَخَلْتُمُوهَا وَلَمْ يَقْبَلُوكُمْ، فَٱخْرُجُوا إِلَى شَوَارِعِهَا وَقُولُوا: | ١٠ 10 |
But if you enter a town whose [people] do not welcome you, go into its [main] streets and say,
حَتَّى ٱلْغُبَارَ ٱلَّذِي لَصِقَ بِنَا مِنْ مَدِينَتِكُمْ نَنْفُضُهُ لَكُمْ. وَلَكِنِ ٱعْلَمُوا هَذَا: إنَّهُ قَدِ ٱقْتَرَبَ مِنْكُمْ مَلَكُوتُ ٱللهِ. | ١١ 11 |
‘[Because you have refused to hear our message, we(exc) will not only leave], we will also shake off the dust of your town that clings to our sandals, to warn you [that God will reject/punish you]. But [we want you to know that] it is almost [the time when] God will start to rule!’
وَأَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّهُ يَكُونُ لِسَدُومَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ حَالَةٌ أَكْثَرُ ٱحْتِمَالًا مِمَّا لِتِلْكَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ. | ١٢ 12 |
I will tell you this: On the [MTY] [final] day when [God judges everyone], he will punish the wicked people [MTY] who long ago lived in Sodom, [the city that he destroyed because its people were so wicked]. But he will punish [even] more severely the people [MTY] of any town [whose people refused to hear your message]!”
«وَيْلٌ لَكِ يَا كُورَزِينُ! وَيْلٌ لَكِ يَا بَيْتَ صَيْدَا! لِأَنَّهُ لَوْ صُنِعَتْ فِي صُورَ وَصَيْدَاءَ ٱلْقُوَّاتُ ٱلْمَصْنُوعَةُ فِيكُمَا، لَتَابَتَا قَدِيمًا جَالِسَتَيْنِ فِي ٱلْمُسُوحِ وَٱلرَّمَادِ. | ١٣ 13 |
“There will be terrible [punishment] for [you people who live in] [MTY] Chorazin and Bethsaida [cities]. I did great miracles in your cities [to show God’s power, but you did not turn from your sinful behavior]. If the miracles that I performed in your [cities] had been done in Tyre and Sidon [cities], the wicked people who lived there would have long ago [shown that they were sorry for their sins by] sitting on the ground wearing coarse cloth and putting ashes on their heads.
وَلَكِنَّ صُورَ وَصَيْدَاءَ يَكُونُ لَهُمَا فِي ٱلدِّينِ حَالَةٌ أَكْثَرُ ٱحْتِمَالًا مِمَّا لَكُمَا. | ١٤ 14 |
[But they did not have the opportunity that you have, so when God punishes people, he will punish the wicked people who lived in] Tyre and Sidon, but he will punish you more severely [because you did not pay attention to my message].
وَأَنْتِ يَا كَفْرَنَاحُومَ ٱلْمُرْتَفِعَةُ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَاءِ! سَتُهْبَطِينَ إِلَى ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ. (Hadēs ) | ١٥ 15 |
[I also have something to say to] you [people who live in] Capernaum [city]. (Do not [think that you will be honored] {[that God] will honor you} in heaven!/Do you [think that you will be honored] {[that God] will honor you} in heaven?) [RHQ] [That will not happen! On the contrary], [after you die, God] will send you down to the place where [sinful people] will be punished [forever]!” (Hadēs )
اَلَّذِي يَسْمَعُ مِنْكُمْ يَسْمَعُ مِنِّي، وَٱلَّذِي يُرْذِلُكُمْ يُرْذِلُنِي، وَٱلَّذِي يُرْذِلُنِي يُرْذِلُ ٱلَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي». | ١٦ 16 |
[Jesus also said to the disciples, “God will consider that] those who listen to your [message] are listening to me, and that those who reject your [message] are rejecting me. And [he will consider that] those who reject me are rejecting [God], the one who sent me.”
فَرَجَعَ ٱلسَّبْعُونَ بِفَرَحٍ قَائِلِينَ: «يَارَبُّ، حَتَّى ٱلشَّيَاطِينُ تَخْضَعُ لَنَا بِٱسْمِكَ!». | ١٧ 17 |
The 72 [people whom Jesus appointed went and did as he told them to]. When they returned, they were very joyful. They said, “Lord, [people did what we(exc) told them to do]! Demons also obeyed us when by your [(sg)] authority [MTY] [we commanded them to leave people]!”
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «رَأَيْتُ ٱلشَّيْطَانَ سَاقِطًا مِثْلَ ٱلْبَرْقِ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ. | ١٨ 18 |
Jesus replied, “[When those demons were obeying you, because God had enabled you to defeat them, it was as though] [MET] I saw Satan fall from heaven [as suddenly and quickly] as lightning [strikes].
هَا أَنَا أُعْطِيكُمْ سُلْطَانًا لِتَدُوسُوا ٱلْحَيَّاتِ وَٱلْعَقَارِبَ وَكُلَّ قُوَّةِ ٱلْعَدُوِّ، وَلَا يَضُرُّكُمْ شَيْءٌ. | ١٩ 19 |
Listen! I have given you authority so that if you oppose evil spirits [MET] [they will not hurt you]. I have given you authority to defeat our enemy, [Satan]. Nothing shall hurt you.
وَلَكِنْ لَا تَفْرَحُوا بِهَذَا: أَنَّ ٱلْأَرْوَاحَ تَخْضَعُ لَكُمْ، بَلِ ٱفْرَحُوا بِٱلْحَرِيِّ أَنَّ أَسْمَاءَكُمْ كُتِبَتْ فِي ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ». | ٢٠ 20 |
But [although] you can rejoice that evil spirits obey you, you should rejoice [more] that your names have been written {that [God] has written your names} in heaven, [because you will be with God forever].”
وَفِي تِلْكَ ٱلسَّاعَةِ تَهَلَّلَ يَسُوعُ بِٱلرُّوحِ وَقَالَ: «أَحْمَدُكَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْآبُ، رَبُّ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ، لِأَنَّكَ أَخْفَيْتَ هَذِهِ عَنِ ٱلْحُكَمَاءِ وَٱلْفُهَمَاءِ وَأَعْلَنْتَهَا لِلْأَطْفَالِ. نَعَمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْآبُ، لِأَنْ هَكَذَا صَارَتِ ٱلْمَسَرَّةُ أَمَامَكَ». | ٢١ 21 |
At that time the Holy Spirit caused [Jesus] to be very happy. He said, “Father, you [(sg)] rule over [everything in] heaven and [on] the earth! Some [people think that they are] wise [because] they are well-educated. But I thank you that you have prevented them from [knowing] these things. [Instead], you have revealed them to [people who accept your truth as readily] [MET] [as] little children [do]. Yes, Father, [you have done that] because it seemed good to you [to do] so.”
وَٱلْتَفَتَ إِلَى تَلَامِيذِهِ وَقَالَ: «كُلُّ شَيْءٍ قَدْ دُفِعَ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَبِي. وَلَيْسَ أَحَدٌ يَعْرِفُ مَنْ هُوَ ٱلِٱبْنُ إِلَّا ٱلْآبُ، وَلَا مَنْ هُوَ ٱلْآبُ إِلَّا ٱلِٱبْنُ، وَمَنْ أَرَادَ ٱلِٱبْنُ أَنْ يُعْلِنَ لَهُ». | ٢٢ 22 |
[Jesus also said to the 72 disciples], “[God], my Father, has revealed to me all [I need to know and the power I need for my work]. Only my Father knows who I [really] am. Furthermore, only I and those [people] to whom I wish to reveal him know what [God] my Father is [like].”
وَٱلْتَفَتَ إِلَى تَلَامِيذِهِ عَلَى ٱنْفِرَادٍ وَقَالَ: «طُوبَى لِلْعُيُونِ ٱلَّتِي تَنْظُرُ مَا تَنْظُرُونَهُ! | ٢٣ 23 |
Then when Jesus’ disciples were alone with him, he turned toward them and said, “[God] is pleased with you [SYN] who have seen [the things that I have done]!
لِأَنِّي أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ أَنْبِيَاءَ كَثِيرِينَ وَمُلُوكًا أَرَادُوا أَنْ يَنْظُرُوا مَا أَنْتُمْ تَنْظُرُونَ وَلَمْ يَنْظُرُوا، وَأَنْ يَسْمَعُوا مَا أَنْتُمْ تَسْمَعُونَ وَلَمْ يَسْمَعُوا». | ٢٤ 24 |
I want you to know that many prophets and kings [who lived long ago] desired to see the things that you are seeing [me do], but these things did not [happen] then. They longed to hear the things that you have been hearing [me say], but these things were not [revealed to them] then.”
وَإِذَا نَامُوسِيٌّ قَامَ يُجَرِّبُهُ قَائِلًا: «يَا مُعَلِّمُ، مَاذَا أَعْمَلُ لِأَرِثَ ٱلْحَيَاةَ ٱلْأَبَدِيَّةَ؟». (aiōnios ) | ٢٥ 25 |
[One day as Jesus was teaching people], a man was there who had studied carefully the laws that [God gave Moses]. He wanted to ask Jesus a difficult question. So he stood up and asked, “Teacher, what shall I do in order to live [with God] forever?” (aiōnios )
فَقَالَ لَهُ: «مَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ فِي ٱلنَّامُوسِ. كَيْفَ تَقْرَأُ؟». | ٢٦ 26 |
Jesus said to him, “You [(sg)] have read [RHQ] what [Moses] has written in the laws that [God gave him]. What did Moses write about living forever?”
فَأَجَابَ وَقَالَ: «تُحِبُّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ مِنْ كُلِّ قَلْبِكَ، وَمِنْ كُلِّ نَفْسِكَ، وَمِنْ كُلِّ قُدْرَتِكَ، وَمِنْ كُلِّ فِكْرِكَ، وَقَرِيبَكَ مِثْلَ نَفْسِكَ». | ٢٧ 27 |
The man replied, “[He wrote that] we [(inc)] must love the Lord our God. [We must show that] by what we feel and by what we do and by what we think. [He] also [wrote that we must love] people that we come in contact with as much as [we love] ourselves.”
فَقَالَ لَهُ: «بِٱلصَّوَابِ أَجَبْتَ. اِفْعَلْ هَذَا فَتَحْيَا». | ٢٨ 28 |
Jesus replied, “You [(sg)] have answered [your question] correctly. If you do all that [continually], you will live [with God forever].”
وَأَمَّا هُوَ فَإِذْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُبَرِّرَ نَفْسَهُ، قَالَ لِيَسُوعَ: «وَمَنْ هُوَ قَرِيبِي؟». | ٢٩ 29 |
But the man wanted to defend [the way] he [acted toward people that he came in contact with] (OR, to defend why he [had asked a question that Jesus answered so simply]). So he said to Jesus, “Which people that I come in contact with [should I love]?”
فَأَجَابَ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ: «إِنْسَانٌ كَانَ نَازِلًا مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ إِلَى أَرِيحَا، فَوَقَعَ بَيْنَ لُصُوصٍ، فَعَرَّوْهُ وَجَرَّحُوهُ، وَمَضَوْا وَتَرَكُوهُ بَيْنَ حَيٍّ وَمَيْتٍ. | ٣٠ 30 |
Jesus replied [by telling him this illustration]: “A [Jewish] man was once going down along the road from Jerusalem to Jericho. Bandits attacked him. They took away [most of] the man’s clothes [and everything else that he had], and they beat him until he was almost dead. Then they left him.
فَعَرَضَ أَنَّ كَاهِنًا نَزَلَ فِي تِلْكَ ٱلطَّرِيقِ، فَرَآهُ وَجَازَ مُقَابِلَهُ. | ٣١ 31 |
It happened that a [Jewish] priest was going along that road. When he saw that man, [instead of helping him], he passed by on the other side [of the road].
وَكَذَلِكَ لَاوِيٌّ أَيْضًا، إِذْ صَارَ عِنْدَ ٱلْمَكَانِ جَاءَ وَنَظَرَ وَجَازَ مُقَابِلَهُ. | ٣٢ 32 |
Similarly, a man who worked in the temple [in Jerusalem] came to that place and saw the man. But he also passed by on the other side [of the road].
وَلَكِنَّ سَامِرِيًّا مُسَافِرًا جَاءَ إِلَيْهِ، وَلَمَّا رَآهُ تَحَنَّنَ، | ٣٣ 33 |
Then a man from Samaria [province] came along that road to where the man was lying. [People from Samaria despise Jews. But] when he saw that man, he pitied him.
فَتَقَدَّمَ وَضَمَدَ جِرَاحَاتِهِ، وَصَبَّ عَلَيْهَا زَيْتًا وَخَمْرًا، وَأَرْكَبَهُ عَلَى دَابَّتِهِ، وَأَتَى بِهِ إِلَى فُنْدُقٍ وَٱعْتَنَى بِهِ. | ٣٤ 34 |
He went over to him and put some [olive] oil and wine on his wounds [to help heal them]. He wound strips of cloth [around the wounds]. He placed the man on his own donkey and took him to an inn and took care of him.
وَفِي ٱلْغَدِ لَمَّا مَضَى أَخْرَجَ دِينَارَيْنِ وَأَعْطَاهُمَا لِصَاحِبِ ٱلْفُنْدُقِ، وَقَالَ لَهُ: ٱعْتَنِ بِهِ، وَمَهْمَا أَنْفَقْتَ أَكْثَرَ فَعِنْدَ رُجُوعِي أُوفِيكَ. | ٣٥ 35 |
The next morning he gave two silver coins to the innkeeper and said, ‘Take care of this man. If you [(sg)] spend more than this amount [to care for him], I will pay you back when I return.’”
فَأَيَّ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلثَّلَاثَةِ تَرَى صَارَ قَرِيبًا لِلَّذِي وَقَعَ بَيْنَ ٱللُّصُوصِ؟». | ٣٦ 36 |
Then Jesus said, “Three people [saw] the man whom bandits attacked. Which one of them [acted in a loving way toward] that man?”
فَقَالَ: «ٱلَّذِي صَنَعَ مَعَهُ ٱلرَّحْمَةَ». فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «ٱذْهَبْ أَنْتَ أَيْضًا وَٱصْنَعْ هَكَذَا». | ٣٧ 37 |
The man who studied the Scriptures replied, “The one who acted mercifully toward him.” Jesus said to him, “You [(sg)] go and act like that [toward] everyone whom [you can help]!”
وَفِيمَا هُمْ سَائِرُونَ دَخَلَ قَرْيَةً، فَقَبِلَتْهُ ٱمْرَأَةٌ ٱسْمُهَا مَرْثَا فِي بَيْتِهَا. | ٣٨ 38 |
As Jesus and his disciples continued to travel, they entered a village [near Jerusalem]. A woman whose name was Martha invited them to come to her house.
وَكَانَتْ لِهَذِهِ أُخْتٌ تُدْعَى مَرْيَمَ، ٱلَّتِي جَلَسَتْ عِنْدَ قَدَمَيْ يَسُوعَ وَكَانَتْ تَسْمَعُ كَلَامَهُ. | ٣٩ 39 |
Her [younger] sister, whose name was Mary, sat near Jesus. She was listening to what he was teaching.
وَأَمَّا مَرْثَا فَكَانَتْ مُرْتَبِكَةً فِي خِدْمَةٍ كَثِيرَةٍ. فَوَقَفَتْ وَقَالَتْ: «يَارَبُّ، أَمَا تُبَالِي بِأَنَّ أُخْتِي قَدْ تَرَكَتْنِي أَخْدُمُ وَحْدِي؟ فَقُلْ لَهَا أَنْ تُعِينَنِي!». | ٤٠ 40 |
But Martha was very much concerned about preparing [a meal]. She went to Jesus and said, “Lord, (you do not seem to care that my sister has left me to prepare everything by myself!/do you not care that my sister has left me to prepare everything by myself?) [RHQ] Tell her that she should help me!”
فَأَجَابَ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ لَها: «مَرْثَا، مَرْثَا، أَنْتِ تَهْتَمِّينَ وَتَضْطَرِبِينَ لِأَجْلِ أُمُورٍ كَثِيرَةٍ، | ٤١ 41 |
But the Lord replied, “Martha, Martha, you [(sg)] are very worried about many things.
وَلَكِنَّ ٱلْحَاجَةَ إِلَى وَاحِدٍ. فَٱخْتَارَتْ مَرْيَمُ ٱلنَّصِيبَ ٱلصَّالِحَ ٱلَّذِي لَنْ يُنْزَعَ مِنْهَا». | ٤٢ 42 |
But only one thing is truly necessary, and that is, [to listen to what I am teaching]. Mary has decided to [do that], and that is better [than worrying]. [The blessing that she is receiving from listening to me] will not be taken away from her {No one will take away from her [the blessing that she is receiving from listening to me]}.”
