< لُوقا 18 >
| وَقَالَ لَهُمْ أَيْضًا مَثَلًا فِي أَنَّهُ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يُصَلَّى كُلَّ حِينٍ وَلَا يُمَلَّ، | ١ 1 |
[Jesus] told [his disciples] a parable to teach them that they always ought to pray confidently and not be discouraged [if God does not immediately answer their prayers].
| قَائِلًا: «كَانَ فِي مَدِينَةٍ قَاضٍ لَا يَخَافُ ٱللهَ وَلَا يَهَابُ إِنْسَانًا. | ٢ 2 |
He said, “In a certain city there was a judge who did not revere God, and did not care about people, either.
| وَكَانَ فِي تِلْكَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ أَرْمَلَةٌ. وَكَانَتْ تَأْتِي إِلَيْهِ قَائِلَةً: أَنْصِفْنِي مِنْ خَصْمِي! | ٣ 3 |
There was a widow in that city who kept coming to him, saying, ‘Please decide what is just [in the dispute between me and] the man who is opposing me [in court!’]
| وَكَانَ لَا يَشَاءُ إِلَى زَمَانٍ. وَلَكِنْ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ فِي نَفْسِهِ: وَإِنْ كُنْتُ لَا أَخَافُ ٱللهَ وَلَا أَهَابُ إِنْسَانًا، | ٤ 4 |
For a long time the judge refused [to help her]. But later he thought to himself, ‘I do not revere God and I do not care about people,
| فَإِنِّي لِأَجْلِ أَنَّ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْمَلَةَ تُزْعِجُنِي، أُنْصِفُهَا، لِئَلَّا تَأْتِيَ دَائِمًا فَتَقْمَعَنِي!». | ٥ 5 |
but this widow keeps bothering me! So I will make sure that she is treated justly. [If I do not do that], she will exhaust me by continually coming to me!’”
| وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «ٱسْمَعُوا مَا يَقُولُ قَاضِي ٱلظُّلْمِ. | ٦ 6 |
Then the Lord [Jesus] said, “[Even though] the judge was not a righteous man, think carefully about what he said!
| أَفَلَا يُنْصِفُ ٱللهُ مُخْتَارِيهِ، ٱلصَّارِخِينَ إِلَيْهِ نَهَارًا وَلَيْلًا، وَهُوَ مُتَمَهِّلٌ عَلَيْهِمْ؟ | ٧ 7 |
[Similarly], (God will certainly show that [what you] have done has been right!/will God not show that [what you] have done has been right?) [RHQ] He will do this for you whom he has chosen. [He will do this for you] who pray earnestly to him night and day, asking him to [help you]. He may delay [helping you].
| أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّهُ يُنْصِفُهُمْ سَرِيعًا! وَلَكِنْ مَتَى جَاءَ ٱبْنُ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ، أَلَعَلَّهُ يَجِدُ ٱلْإِيمَانَ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ؟». | ٨ 8 |
But I tell you, [some day] he will show that what you did was right, and he will do it quickly. But when [I], the one who came from heaven, return to earth, (there may not be [many people who will still] be trusting [that I will vindicate them] (OR, who will still be trusting in me)./will there be [many people who will still] be trusting [that I will vindicate them] (OR, who will still be trusting in me)?) [RHQ]”
| وَقَالَ لِقَوْمٍ وَاثِقِينَ بِأَنْفُسِهِمْ أَنَّهُمْ أَبْرَارٌ، وَيَحْتَقِرُونَ ٱلْآخَرِينَ هَذَا ٱلْمَثَلَ: | ٩ 9 |
[Jesus] also told a parable [to warn] people who mistakenly thought that they were doing things that made them acceptable to God. Besides, they also despised other people.
| «إِنْسَانَانِ صَعِدَا إِلَى ٱلْهَيْكَلِ لِيُصَلِّيَا، وَاحِدٌ فَرِّيسِيٌّ وَٱلْآخَرُ عَشَّارٌ. | ١٠ 10 |
[He said this]: “Two men went up to the Temple [in Jerusalem] to pray. One was a Pharisee. The other was a tax collector.
| أَمَّا ٱلْفَرِّيسِيُّ فَوَقَفَ يُصَلِّي فِي نَفْسِهِ هَكَذَا: اَللَّهُمَّ أَنَا أَشْكُرُكَ أَنِّي لَسْتُ مِثْلَ بَاقِي ٱلنَّاسِ ٱلْخَاطِفِينَ ٱلظَّالِمِينَ ٱلزُّنَاةِ، وَلَا مِثْلَ هَذَا ٱلْعَشَّارِ. | ١١ 11 |
The Pharisee stood and prayed silently, ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men. [Some] extort money [from others]; some treat others unjustly; some commit adultery. [I do not do such things. And I am certainly not] like this tax collector [who cheats people]!
| أَصُومُ مَرَّتَيْنِ فِي ٱلْأُسْبُوعِ، وَأُعَشِّرُ كُلَّ مَا أَقْتَنِيهِ. | ١٢ 12 |
[Our law says that we(exc) should] (fast/abstain from food) [once a week], [but I do more than that. I] fast twice a week! I give [you] ten percent of all that I earn!’
| وَأَمَّا ٱلْعَشَّارُ فَوَقَفَ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ، لَا يَشَاءُ أَنْ يَرْفَعَ عَيْنَيْهِ نَحْوَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، بَلْ قَرَعَ عَلَى صَدْرِهِ قَائِلًا: ٱللهُمَّ ٱرْحَمْنِي، أَنَا ٱلْخَاطِئَ. | ١٣ 13 |
But the tax collector stood far [from the other people in the Temple courtyard because he felt very unworthy]. He would not even look up toward heaven. Instead, he beat on his chest [to show that he was sorry for his sin]. He said, ‘God, I am a sinner; be merciful to me [and forgive me]!’”
| أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ هَذَا نَزَلَ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ مُبَرَّرًا دُونَ ذَاكَ، لِأَنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ يَرْفَعُ نَفْسَهُ يَتَّضِعُ، وَمَنْ يَضَعُ نَفْسَهُ يَرْتَفِعُ». | ١٤ 14 |
[Then Jesus said], “I tell you [(pl)] that as the tax collector went home, the record of his sins was erased {[God] erased the record of his sins}, not that of the Pharisee. [Remember this]: Those who exalt themselves will be humbled {[God] will humble all those who exalt themselves}, but those who humble themselves will be exalted {[he] will exalt those who humble themselves}.”
| فَقَدَّمُوا إِلَيْهِ ٱلْأَطْفَالَ أَيْضًا لِيَلْمِسَهُمْ، فَلَمَّا رَآهُمُ ٱلتَّلَامِيذُ ٱنْتَهَرُوهُمْ. | ١٥ 15 |
[One day when many people were coming to Jesus], they were also bringing small children. They wanted him to put his hands on [the children and bless them]. When the disciples saw that, they rebuked [those who were bringing those children].
| أَمَّا يَسُوعُ فَدَعَاهُمْ وَقَالَ: «دَعُوا ٱلْأَوْلَادَ يَأْتُونَ إِلَيَّ وَلَا تَمْنَعُوهُمْ، لِأَنَّ لِمِثْلِ هَؤُلَاءِ مَلَكُوتَ ٱللهِ. | ١٦ 16 |
But Jesus called the children [to come to him]. He said to his disciples, “Let the children come to me! Do not stop them! It is people who are [humble and trusting] like they are who can experience God ruling [their lives].
| اَلْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: مَنْ لَا يَقْبَلُ مَلَكُوتَ ٱللهِ مِثْلَ وَلَدٍ فَلَنْ يَدْخُلَهُ». | ١٧ 17 |
Note this: Those who do not [trust God and] allow him to direct [their lives], as children [do], will not enter the [MET] place where God rules.”
| وَسَأَلَهُ رَئِيسٌ قَائِلًا: «أَيُّهَا ٱلْمُعَلِّمُ ٱلصَّالِحُ، مَاذَا أَعْمَلُ لِأَرِثَ ٱلْحَيَاةَ ٱلْأَبَدِيَّةَ؟» (aiōnios ) | ١٨ 18 |
A [Jewish] leader asked [Jesus], “Good teacher, what shall I do in order to have eternal life?” (aiōnios )
| فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «لِمَاذَا تَدْعُونِي صَالِحًا؟ لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ صَالِحًا إِلَّا وَاحِدٌ وَهُوَ ٱللهُ. | ١٩ 19 |
Jesus said to him, “Only God is good! No one [else] is good! (So you(sg) should consider carefully what [you are implying by] calling me good!/[Do you realize that you are implying that I am God by] calling me good?) [RHQ]
| أَنْتَ تَعْرِفُ ٱلْوَصَايَا: لَا تَزْنِ. لَا تَقْتُلْ. لَا تَسْرِقْ. لَا تَشْهَدْ بِٱلزُّورِ. أَكْرِمْ أَبَاكَ وَأُمَّكَ». | ٢٠ 20 |
[But to answer your question], you [(sg)] know the commandments that [God gave Moses. He commanded such things as] ‘do not commit adultery, do not commit murder, do not steal, do not testify falsely [about what you have seen or heard], honor your father and mother.’”
| فَقَالَ: «هَذِهِ كُلُّهَا حَفِظْتُهَا مُنْذُ حَدَاثَتِي». | ٢١ 21 |
The man said, “I have obeyed all those [commandments] ever since I was young. [So] ([there must be something else I have not done./is that enough]?)”
| فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ يَسُوعُ ذَلِكَ قَالَ لَهُ: «يُعْوِزُكَ أَيْضًا شَيْءٌ: بِعْ كُلَّ مَا لَكَ وَوَزِّعْ عَلَى ٱلْفُقَرَاءِ، فَيَكُونَ لَكَ كَنْزٌ فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ، وَتَعَالَ ٱتْبَعْنِي». | ٢٢ 22 |
When Jesus heard [him say] that, he replied to him, “There is one thing that you [(sg)] have not [done] yet. Sell all that you own. Then give [the money] to poor people. [The result will be that] you will have [spiritual] riches in heaven. Then come and be my disciple!”
| فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ ذَلِكَ حَزِنَ، لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ غَنِيًّا جِدًّا. | ٢٣ 23 |
The man became sad when he heard that, because he was very rich [and he did not want to give everything away].
| فَلَمَّا رَآهُ يَسُوعُ قَدْ حَزِنَ، قَالَ: «مَا أَعْسَرَ دُخُولَ ذَوِي ٱلْأَمْوَالِ إِلَى مَلَكُوتِ ٱللهِ! | ٢٤ 24 |
Jesus looked at the man [as he left], and said, “It is very difficult for those who are wealthy [to decide] to let God rule [MET] their [lives].
| لِأَنَّ دُخُولَ جَمَلٍ مِنْ ثَقْبِ إِبْرَةٍ أَيْسَرُ مِنْ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ غَنِيٌّ إِلَى مَلَكُوتِ ٱللهِ!». | ٢٥ 25 |
[You would say] that it is impossible for a camel to go through the eye of a needle. It is [almost] as difficult [HYP] for rich people [to decide] to let God rule their [lives].”
| فَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ سَمِعُوا: «فَمَنْ يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يَخْلُصَ؟» | ٢٦ 26 |
[The Jews thought that God favored rich people, so they thought that if God did not save rich people, he would not save others, either]. So [one of the disciples] who heard him say that replied, “If that is so, it seems that no one will be saved {[that God] will not save anyone} [RHQ]!”
| فَقَالَ: «غَيْرُ ٱلْمُسْتَطَاعِ عِنْدَ ٱلنَّاسِ مُسْتَطَاعٌ عِنْدَ ٱللهِ». | ٢٧ 27 |
But Jesus said, “It is impossible for people [to save themselves]. But [God can save them, because] God can do anything!”
| فَقَالَ بُطْرُسُ: «هَا نَحْنُ قَدْ تَرَكْنَا كُلَّ شَيْءٍ وَتَبِعْنَاكَ». | ٢٨ 28 |
Then Peter said, “[You know that we(exc) have left] everything we had and have become your disciples [RHQ]. [So what about us?] (OR, [So will God accept/save us?]”)
| فَقَالَ لَهُمُ: «ٱلْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنْ لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ تَرَكَ بَيْتًا أَوْ وَالِدَيْنِ أَوْ إِخْوَةً أَوِ ٱمْرَأَةً أَوْ أَوْلَادًا مِنْ أَجْلِ مَلَكُوتِ ٱللهِ، | ٢٩ 29 |
He said to them, “Keep this in mind: Those who have left [their] homes, [their] wives, [their] brothers, [their] parents, [their] children, [or any other family members], [to tell others] about how God wants to rule [MET] [people’s lives],
| إِلَّا وَيَأْخُذُ فِي هَذَا ٱلزَّمَانِ أَضْعَافًا كَثِيرَةً، وَفِي ٱلدَّهْرِ ٱلْآتِي ٱلْحَيَاةَ ٱلْأَبَدِيَّةَ». (aiōn , aiōnios ) | ٣٠ 30 |
will receive in this life many times as much [as they left]. And in the future age they will (live eternally [with God]/ have eternal life).” (aiōn , aiōnios )
| وَأَخَذَ ٱلِٱثْنَيْ عَشَرَ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «هَا نَحْنُ صَاعِدُونَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَسَيَتِمُّ كُلُّ مَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ بِٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ عَنِ ٱبْنِ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ، | ٣١ 31 |
[Jesus] took the twelve [disciples] to a place by themselves and said to them, “Listen carefully! We [(inc)] are [now] going up to Jerusalem. [While we are there], everything that has been written by the prophets {that the prophets have written} about [me], the one who came from heaven, will be fulfilled {will occur}.
| لِأَنَّهُ يُسَلَّمُ إِلَى ٱلْأُمَمِ، وَيُسْتَهْزَأُ بِهِ، وَيُشْتَمُ وَيُتْفَلُ عَلَيْهِ، | ٣٢ 32 |
I will be put into the hands of {[My enemies] will hand me over to} non-Jews. [The non-Jews] will make fun of me and mistreat me and spit on me.
| وَيَجْلِدُونَهُ، وَيَقْتُلُونَهُ، وَفِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّالِثِ يَقُومُ». | ٣٣ 33 |
They will whip me, and [then] they will kill me. But on the third day [after that] I will become alive again.”
| وَأَمَّا هُمْ فَلَمْ يَفْهَمُوا مِنْ ذَلِكَ شَيْئًا، وَكَانَ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرُ مُخْفًى عَنْهُمْ، وَلَمْ يَعْلَمُوا مَا قِيلَ. | ٣٤ 34 |
But [the disciples] did not understand any of those things that [he said]. They were prevented {[Something] prevented them} from understanding the meaning of what [he] was telling [them].
| وَلَمَّا ٱقْتَرَبَ مِنْ أَرِيحَا كَانَ أَعْمَى جَالِسًا علَى ٱلطَّرِيقِ يَسْتَعْطِي. | ٣٥ 35 |
As [Jesus and his disciples] came near to Jericho [city], a blind man was sitting beside the road. [He was] begging [for money].
| فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ ٱلْجَمْعَ مُجْتَازًا سَأَلَ: «مَا عَسَى أَنْ يَكُونَ هَذَا؟». | ٣٦ 36 |
When he heard the crowd [of people] passing by, he asked someone, “What is happening?”
| فَأَخْبَرُوهُ أَنَّ يَسُوعَ ٱلنَّاصِرِيَّ مُجْتَازٌ. | ٣٧ 37 |
They told him, “Jesus, [the man] from Nazareth [town], is passing by.”
| فَصَرَخَ قَائِلًا: «يَا يَسُوعُ ٱبْنَ دَاوُدَ، ٱرْحَمْنِي!». | ٣٨ 38 |
He shouted, “Jesus, [you who are] descended from [King] David, [the Messiah], pity me!”
| فَٱنْتَهَرَهُ ٱلْمُتَقَدِّمُونَ لِيَسْكُتَ، أَمَّا هُوَ فَصَرَخَ أَكْثَرَ كَثِيرًا: «يَا ٱبْنَ دَاوُدَ، ٱرْحَمْنِي!». | ٣٩ 39 |
Those who were [walking] at the front [of the crowd] scolded the man [and] told him to be quiet. But he shouted more loudly, “You who are descended from [King] David, [the Messiah], pity me!”
| فَوَقَفَ يَسُوعُ وَأَمَرَ أَنْ يُقَدَّمَ إِلَيْهِ. وَلَمَّا ٱقْتَرَبَ سَأَلَهُ | ٤٠ 40 |
Jesus stopped and told [people] to bring the man to him. When [the blind man] came near, Jesus asked him,
| قَائِلًا: «مَاذَا تُرِيدُ أَنْ أَفْعَلَ بِكَ؟». فَقَالَ: «يَاسَيِّدُ، أَنْ أُبْصِرَ!». | ٤١ 41 |
“What do you [(sg)] want me to do for you?” He replied, “Lord, enable me to see [again]!”
| فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «أَبْصِرْ. إِيمَانُكَ قَدْ شَفَاكَ». | ٤٢ 42 |
Jesus said to him, “[Then] see! Because you have trusted [PRS] [in me], [I] have healed you!”
| وَفِي ٱلْحَالِ أَبْصَرَ، وَتَبِعَهُ وَهُوَ يُمَجِّدُ ٱللهَ. وَجَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ إِذْ رَأَوْا سَبَّحُوا ٱللهَ. | ٤٣ 43 |
Immediately he was able to see! And he went with [Jesus], praising God. And when all the people who were [going with Jesus] saw it, they also praised God.
