< لُوقا 2 >

وَفِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ صَدَرَ أَمْرٌ مِنْ أُوغُسْطُسَ قَيْصَرَ بِأَنْ يُكْتَتَبَ كُلُّ ٱلْمَسْكُونَةِ. ١ 1
It came to pass in those days, a decree went out from Augustus Caesar, to enroll all the world.
وَهَذَا ٱلِٱكْتِتَابُ ٱلْأَوَّلُ جَرَى إِذْ كَانَ كِيرِينِيُوسُ وَالِيَ سُورِيَّةَ. ٢ 2
This was the first enrollment, Cyrenius being governor of Syria.
فَذَهَبَ ٱلْجَمِيعُ لِيُكْتَتَبُوا، كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى مَدِينَتِهِ. ٣ 3
And all were going forth to enroll, each one into his own city.
فَصَعِدَ يُوسُفُ أَيْضًا مِنَ ٱلْجَلِيلِ مِنْ مَدِينَةِ ٱلنَّاصِرَةِ إِلَى ٱلْيَهُودِيَّةِ، إِلَى مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ ٱلَّتِي تُدْعَى بَيْتَ لَحْمٍ، لِكَوْنِهِ مِنْ بَيْتِ دَاوُدَ وَعَشِيرَتِهِ، ٤ 4
And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city Nazareth, into Judea, into the city of David which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David,
لِيُكْتَتَبَ مَعَ مَرْيَمَ ٱمْرَأَتِهِ ٱلْمَخْطُوبَةِ وَهِيَ حُبْلَى. ٥ 5
to enroll himself along with Mary, the wife having been betrothed to him, being in an advanced state of pregnancy.
وَبَيْنَمَا هُمَا هُنَاكَ تَمَّتْ أَيَّامُهَا لِتَلِدَ. ٦ 6
And it came to pass while they were there the days of her parturition were fulfilled.
فَوَلَدَتِ ٱبْنَهَا ٱلْبِكْرَ وَقَمَّطَتْهُ وَأَضْجَعَتْهُ فِي ٱلْمِذْوَدِ، إِذْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُمَا مَوْضِعٌ فِي ٱلْمَنْزِلِ. ٧ 7
And she brought forth her firstborn son, and she wrapped Him in swaddling clothes and laid Him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.
وَكَانَ فِي تِلْكَ ٱلْكُورَةِ رُعَاةٌ مُتَبَدِّينَ يَحْرُسُونَ حِرَاسَاتِ ٱللَّيْلِ عَلَى رَعِيَّتِهِمْ، ٨ 8
And the shepherds were in that country, tenting out and keeping guard over their flock by night.
وَإِذَا مَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ وَقَفَ بِهِمْ، وَمَجْدُ ٱلرَّبِّ أَضَاءَ حَوْلَهُمْ، فَخَافُوا خَوْفًا عَظِيمًا. ٩ 9
And behold an angel of the Lord stood over them and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they feared with great fear.
فَقَالَ لَهُمُ ٱلْمَلَاكُ: «لَا تَخَافُوا! فَهَا أَنَا أُبَشِّرُكُمْ بِفَرَحٍ عَظِيمٍ يَكُونُ لِجَمِيعِ ٱلشَّعْبِ: ١٠ 10
And the angel said to them; Fear not; for behold, I preach unto you the gospel of great joy, which shall be to all people;
أَنَّهُ وُلِدَ لَكُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ فِي مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ مُخَلِّصٌ هُوَ ٱلْمَسِيحُ ٱلرَّبُّ. ١١ 11
because this day a Savior is born unto you, who is Christ the Lord, in the city of David.
وَهَذِهِ لَكُمُ ٱلْعَلَامَةُ: تَجِدُونَ طِفْلًا مُقَمَّطًا مُضْجَعًا فِي مِذْوَدٍ». ١٢ 12
And this shall be the sign unto you; you shall find an infant lying in a manger, wrapped in swaddling clothes.
وَظَهَرَ بَغْتَةً مَعَ ٱلْمَلَاكِ جُمْهُورٌ مِنَ ٱلْجُنْدِ ٱلسَّمَاوِيِّ مُسَبِّحِينَ ٱللهَ وَقَائِلِينَ: ١٣ 13
And immediately a multitude of the heavenly host was with the angel, praising God and saying;
«ٱلْمَجْدُ لِلهِ فِي ٱلْأَعَالِي، وَعَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلسَّلَامُ، وَبِالنَّاسِ ٱلْمَسَرَّةُ». ١٤ 14
Glory to God in the highest, and peace on earth; good will among men.
وَلَمَّا مَضَتْ عَنْهُمُ ٱلْمَلَائِكَةُ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَاءِ، قَالَ ٱلرِّجَالُ ٱلرُّعَاةُ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ: «لِنَذْهَبِ ٱلْآنَ إِلَى بَيْتِ لَحْمٍ وَنَنْظُرْ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرَ ٱلْوَاقِعَ ٱلَّذِي أَعْلَمَنَا بِهِ ٱلرَّبُّ». ١٥ 15
And it came to pass, when the angels departed from them into heaven, indeed, the shepherds said to one another; Now let us go unto Bethlehem and see this word which has taken place, which the Lord made known to us.
فَجَاءُوا مُسْرِعِينَ، وَوَجَدُوا مَرْيَمَ وَيُوسُفَ وَٱلطِّفْلَ مُضْجَعًا فِي ٱلْمِذْوَدِ. ١٦ 16
They went making haste, and found both Mary and Joseph, and the infant lying in the manger.
فَلَمَّا رَأَوْهُ أَخْبَرُوا بِٱلْكَلَامِ ٱلَّذِي قِيلَ لَهُمْ عَنْ هَذَا ٱلصَّبِيِّ. ١٧ 17
And seeing, they made known concerning the word which was spoken to them about this little child.
وَكُلُّ ٱلَّذِينَ سَمِعُوا تَعَجَّبُوا مِمَّا قِيلَ لَهُمْ مِنَ ٱلرُّعَاةِ. ١٨ 18
And all hearing wondered concerning the things which were spoken to them by the shepherds.
وَأَمَّا مَرْيَمُ فَكَانَتْ تَحْفَظُ جَمِيعَ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ مُتَفَكِّرَةً بِهِ فِي قَلْبِهَا. ١٩ 19
And Mary kept all these words laying them up in her heart.
ثُمَّ رَجَعَ ٱلرُّعَاةُ وَهُمْ يُمَجِّدُونَ ٱللهَ وَيُسَبِّحُونَهُ عَلَى كُلِّ مَا سَمِعُوهُ وَرَأَوْهُ كَمَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ. ٢٠ 20
And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God, for all things which they heard and saw, as it was spoken to them.
وَلَمَّا تَمَّتْ ثَمَانِيَةُ أَيَّامٍ لِيَخْتِنُوا ٱلصَّبِيَّ سُمِّيَ يَسُوعَ، كَمَا تَسَمَّى مِنَ ٱلْمَلَاكِ قَبْلَ أَنْ حُبِلَ بِهِ فِي ٱلْبَطْنِ. ٢١ 21
And when the eight days of circumcising Him were fulfilled, and His name was called Jesus, having been called by the angel before He was conceived in the womb.
وَلَمَّا تَمَّتْ أَيَّامُ تَطْهِيرِهَا، حَسَبَ شَرِيعَةِ مُوسَى، صَعِدُوا بِهِ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ لِيُقَدِّمُوهُ لِلرَّبِّ، ٢٢ 22
And when the days of their purification were fulfilled, according to the law of Moses, they carried him up into Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord,
كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ فِي نَامُوسِ ٱلرَّبِّ: أَنَّ كُلَّ ذَكَرٍ فَاتِحَ رَحِمٍ يُدْعَى قُدُّوسًا لِلرَّبِّ. ٢٣ 23
as it was written in the law of the Lord; That every male opening the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;
وَلِكَيْ يُقَدِّمُوا ذَبِيحَةً كَمَا قِيلَ فِي نَامُوسِ ٱلرَّبِّ: زَوْجَ يَمَامٍ أَوْ فَرْخَيْ حَمَامٍ. ٢٤ 24
and to offer a sacrifice according to that which has been written in the law of the Lord, a pair of turtle-doves, or two young pigeons.
وَكَانَ رَجُلٌ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ ٱسْمُهُ سِمْعَانُ، وَهَذَا ٱلرَّجُلُ كَانَ بَارًّا تَقِيًّا يَنْتَظِرُ تَعْزِيَةَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَٱلرُّوحُ ٱلْقُدُسُ كَانَ عَلَيْهِ. ٢٥ 25
And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon; and the same man was righteous and godly, awaiting the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was on him;
وَكَانَ قَدْ أُوحِيَ إِلَيْهِ بِٱلرُّوحِ ٱلْقُدُسِ أَنَّهُ لَا يَرَى ٱلْمَوْتَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَرَى مَسِيحَ ٱلرَّبِّ. ٢٦ 26
and it was revealed unto him by the Holy Spirit, that he should not see death before he may see the Christ of the Lord.
فَأَتَى بِٱلرُّوحِ إِلَى ٱلْهَيْكَلِ. وَعِنْدَمَا دَخَلَ بِٱلصَّبِيِّ يَسُوعَ أَبَوَاهُ، لِيَصْنَعَا لَهُ حَسَبَ عَادَةِ ٱلنَّامُوسِ، ٢٧ 27
And he came in the Spirit into the temple; and while the parents are bringing in the little child Jesus, that they may do according to the provisions of law concerning Him,
أَخَذَهُ عَلَى ذِرَاعَيْهِ وَبَارَكَ ٱللهَ وَقَالَ: ٢٨ 28
he received Him into his arms and blessed God and said;
«ٱلْآنَ تُطْلِقُ عَبْدَكَ يَا سَيِّدُ حَسَبَ قَوْلِكَ بِسَلَامٍ، ٢٩ 29
Now, O Lord, thou art letting thy servant depart, in peace according to thy word;
لِأَنَّ عَيْنَيَّ قَدْ أَبْصَرَتَا خَلَاصَكَ، ٣٠ 30
because mine eyes saw thy salvation,
ٱلَّذِي أَعْدَدْتَهُ قُدَّامَ وَجْهِ جَمِيعِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ. ٣١ 31
which thou didst prepare before the face of all peoples;
نُورَ إِعْلَانٍ لِلْأُمَمِ، وَمَجْدًا لِشَعْبِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ». ٣٢ 32
a light unto the revelation of the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.
وَكَانَ يُوسُفُ وَأُمُّهُ يَتَعَجَّبَانِ مِمَّا قِيلَ فِيهِ. ٣٣ 33
And His father and His mother were marveling at the words spoken concerning Him.
وَبَارَكَهُمَا سِمْعَانُ، وَقَالَ لِمَرْيَمَ أُمِّهِ: «هَا إِنَّ هَذَا قَدْ وُضِعَ لِسُقُوطِ وَقِيَامِ كَثِيرِينَ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَلِعَلَامَةٍ تُقَاوَمُ. ٣٤ 34
And Simeon blessed them and said to Mary, His mother; Behold, he is appointed unto the fall and rising of many in Israel, and unto a sign which is spoken against;
وَأَنْتِ أَيْضًا يَجُوزُ فِي نَفْسِكِ سَيْفٌ، لِتُعْلَنَ أَفْكَارٌ مِنْ قُلُوبٍ كَثِيرَةٍ». ٣٥ 35
and a sword shall go through thy soul, in order that the reasonings of many hearts may be revealed.
وَكَانَتْ نَبِيَّةٌ، حَنَّةُ بِنْتُ فَنُوئِيلَ مِنْ سِبْطِ أَشِيرَ، وَهِيَ مُتَقدِّمَةٌ فِي أَيَّامٍ كَثِيرَةٍ، قَدْ عَاشَتْ مَعَ زَوْجٍ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ بَعْدَ بُكُورِيَّتِهَا. ٣٦ 36
And Anna was a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel of the tribe of Asher, herself being advanced in many days, having lived with her husband seven years from her virginity;
وَهِيَ أَرْمَلَةٌ نَحْوَ أَرْبَعٍ وَثَمَانِينَ سَنَةً، لَا تُفَارِقُ ٱلْهَيْكَلَ، عَابِدَةً بِأَصْوَامٍ وَطَلِبَاتٍ لَيْلًا وَنَهَارًا. ٣٧ 37
and she a widow of about fourscore years, who did not depart from the temple, worshiping night and day with fastings and prayers.
فَهِيَ فِي تِلْكَ ٱلسَّاعَةِ وَقَفَتْ تُسَبِّحُ ٱلرَّبَّ، وَتَكَلَّمَتْ عَنْهُ مَعَ جَمِيعِ ٱلْمُنْتَظِرِينَ فِدَاءً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ. ٣٨ 38
And she, at the same hour, standing up continued to praise the Lord, and speak concerning Him to all those awaiting the redemption in Jerusalem.
وَلَمَّا أَكْمَلُوا كُلَّ شَيْءٍ حَسَبَ نَامُوسِ ٱلرَّبِّ، رَجَعُوا إِلَى ٱلْجَلِيلِ إِلَى مَدِينَتِهِمُ ٱلنَّاصِرَةِ. ٣٩ 39
And when they finished all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee into their own city Nazareth.
وَكَانَ ٱلصَّبِيُّ يَنْمُو وَيَتَقَوَّى بِٱلرُّوحِ، مُمْتَلِئًا حِكْمَةً، وَكَانَتْ نِعْمَةُ ٱللهِ عَلَيْهِ. ٤٠ 40
And the child continued to grow and waxed strong in spirit, being full of wisdom; and the grace of God was on Him.
وَكَانَ أَبَوَاهُ يَذْهَبَانِ كُلَّ سَنَةٍ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ فِي عِيدِ ٱلْفِصْحِ. ٤١ 41
And His parents were going, according to custom, into Jerusalem at the feast of the passover.
وَلَمَّا كَانَتْ لَهُ ٱثْنَتَا عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً صَعِدُوا إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ كَعَادَةِ ٱلْعِيدِ. ٤٢ 42
And when He was twelve years old, they going up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast,
وَبَعْدَمَا أَكْمَلُوا ٱلْأَيَّامَ بَقِيَ عِنْدَ رُجُوعِهِمَا ٱلصَّبِيُّ يَسُوعُ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَيُوسُفُ وَأُمُّهُ لَمْ يَعْلَمَا. ٤٣ 43
and having completed the days, while they were returning the boy Jesus remained in Jerusalem. And His parents knew it not.
وَإِذْ ظَنَّاهُ بَيْنَ ٱلرُّفْقَةِ، ذَهَبَا مَسِيرَةَ يَوْمٍ، وَكَانَا يَطْلُبَانِهِ بَيْنَ ٱلْأَقْرِبَاءِ وَٱلْمَعَارِفِ. ٤٤ 44
And thinking that He is in the crowd, they came a day's journey, and were seeking Him among His relatives and acquaintances.
وَلَمَّا لَمْ يَجِدَاهُ رَجَعَا إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ يَطْلُبَانِهِ. ٤٥ 45
And not having found Him; they returned to Jerusalem seeking Him.
وَبَعْدَ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ وَجَدَاهُ فِي ٱلْهَيْكَلِ، جَالِسًا فِي وَسْطِ ٱلْمُعَلِّمِينَ، يَسْمَعُهُمْ وَيَسْأَلُهُمْ. ٤٦ 46
And it came to pass, after three days they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both hearing them and asking them questions.
وَكُلُّ ٱلَّذِينَ سَمِعُوهُ بُهِتُوا مِنْ فَهْمِهِ وَأَجْوِبَتِهِ. ٤٧ 47
And all hearing Him were astonished at His wisdom and answers.
فَلَمَّا أَبْصَرَاهُ ٱنْدَهَشَا. وَقَالَتْ لَهُ أُمُّهُ: «يَا بُنَيَّ، لِمَاذَا فَعَلْتَ بِنَا هَكَذَا؟ هُوَذَا أَبُوكَ وَأَنَا كُنَّا نَطْلُبُكَ مُعَذَّبَيْنِ!» ٤٨ 48
And seeing Him they were astonished, and His mother said to Him; Child, why did you thus do unto us? Behold, thy father and I were seeking thee, sorrowful.
فَقَالَ لَهُمَا: «لِمَاذَا كُنْتُمَا تَطْلُبَانِنِي؟ أَلَمْ تَعْلَمَا أَنَّهُ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ أَكُونَ فِي مَا لِأَبِي؟». ٤٩ 49
And He said to them, Why were you seeking after me? Did you not know that it behooved me to be in the affairs of my Father?
فَلَمْ يَفْهَمَا ٱلْكَلَامَ ٱلَّذِي قَالَهُ لَهُمَا. ٥٠ 50
And they did not understand the word which He spoke unto them.
ثُمَّ نَزَلَ مَعَهُمَا وَجَاءَ إِلَى ٱلنَّاصِرَةِ وَكَانَ خَاضِعًا لَهُمَا. وَكَانَتْ أُمُّهُ تَحْفَظُ جَمِيعَ هَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورِ فِي قَلْبِهَا. ٥١ 51
And He went down with them and came to Nazareth; and was subject unto them. And His mother continued to keep all these words in her heart.
وَأَمَّا يَسُوعُ فَكَانَ يَتَقَدَّمُ فِي ٱلْحِكْمَةِ وَٱلْقَامَةِ وَٱلنِّعْمَةِ، عِنْدَ ٱللهِ وَٱلنَّاسِ. ٥٢ 52
And Jesus continued to grow in wisdom and stature and favor with God and men.
