لُوقا 3
| وَفِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلْخَامِسَةِ عَشْرَةَ مِنْ سَلْطَنَةِ طِيبَارِيُوسَ قَيْصَرَ، إِذْ كَانَ بِيلَاطُسُ ٱلْبُنْطِيُّ وَالِيًا عَلَى ٱلْيَهُودِيَّةِ، وَهِيرُودُسُ رَئِيسَ رُبْعٍ عَلَى ٱلْجَلِيلِ، وَفِيلُبُّسُ أَخُوهُ رَئِيسَ رُبْعٍ عَلَى إِيطُورِيَّةَ وَكُورَةِ تَرَاخُونِيتِسَ، وَلِيسَانِيُوسُ رَئِيسَ رُبْعٍ عَلَى ٱلْأَبِلِيَّةِ، | ١ 1 |
In the fifteenth year of the reign of the Emperor Tiberius, when Pontius Pilate was Governor of Judea, Herod Ruler of Galilee, his brother Philip Ruler of the territory comprising Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias Ruler of Abilene,
| فِي أَيَّامِ رَئِيسِ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ حَنَّانَ وَقَيَافَا، كَانَتْ كَلِمَةُ ٱللهِ عَلَى يُوحَنَّا بْنِ زَكَرِيَّا فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ، | ٢ 2 |
and when Annas and Caiaphas were High Priests, a Command from God came to John, the son of Zechariah, while he was in the wilderness.
| فَجَاءَ إِلَى جَمِيعِ ٱلْكُورَةِ ٱلْمُحِيطَةِ بِٱلْأُرْدُنِّ يَكْرِزُ بِمَعْمُودِيَّةِ ٱلتَّوْبَةِ لِمَغْفِرَةِ ٱلْخَطَايَا، | ٣ 3 |
And John went through the whole district of the Jordan, proclaiming baptism upon repentance, for the forgiveness of sins.
| كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ فِي سِفْرِ أقْوَالِ إِشَعْيَاءَ ٱلنَّبِيِّ ٱلْقَائِلِ: «صَوْتُ صَارِخٍ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ: أَعِدُّوا طَرِيقَ ٱلرَّبِّ، ٱصْنَعُوا سُبُلَهُ مُسْتَقِيمَةً. | ٤ 4 |
This was in fulfilment of what is said in the writings of the Prophet Isaiah — ‘The voice of one crying aloud in the wilderness: “Make ready the way of the Lord, Make his paths straight.
| كُلُّ وَادٍ يَمْتَلِئُ، وَكُلُّ جَبَلٍ وَأَكَمَةٍ يَنْخَفِضُ، وَتَصِيرُ ٱلْمُعْوَجَّاتُ مُسْتَقِيمَةً، وَٱلشِّعَابُ طُرُقًا سَهْلَةً، | ٥ 5 |
Every chasm shall be filled, Every mountain and hill shall be levelled, The winding ways shall be straightened, The rough roads made smooth,
| وَيُبْصِرُ كُلُّ بَشَرٍ خَلَاصَ ٱللهِ». | ٦ 6 |
and all mankind shall see the Salvation of God.”’
| وَكَانَ يَقُولُ لِلْجُمُوعِ ٱلَّذِينَ خَرَجُوا لِيَعْتَمِدُوا مِنْهُ: «يَا أَوْلَادَ ٱلْأَفَاعِي، مَنْ أَرَاكُمْ أَنْ تَهْرُبُوا مِنَ ٱلْغَضَبِ ٱلْآتِي؟ | ٧ 7 |
And John said to the crowds that went to be baptized by him: “You brood of vipers! who has prompted you to seek refuge from the coming judgment?
| فَٱصْنَعُوا أَثْمَارًا تَلِيقُ بِٱلتَّوْبَةِ. ولَا تَبْتَدِئُوا تَقُولُونَ فِي أَنْفُسِكُمْ: لَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ أَبًا. لِأَنِّي أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ ٱللهَ قَادِرٌ أَنْ يُقِيمَ مِنْ هَذِهِ ٱلْحِجَارَةِ أَوْلَادًا لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ. | ٨ 8 |
Let your lives, then, prove your repentance; and do not begin to say among yourselves ‘Abraham is our ancestor,’ for I tell you that out of these very stones God is able to raise descendants for Abraham!
| وَٱلْآنَ قَدْ وُضِعَتِ ٱلْفَأْسُ عَلَى أَصْلِ ٱلشَّجَرِ، فَكُلُّ شَجَرَةٍ لَا تَصْنَعُ ثَمَرًا جَيِّدًا تُقْطَعُ وَتُلْقَى فِي ٱلنَّارِ». | ٩ 9 |
Already, indeed, the axe is lying at the root of the trees. Therefore every tree that fails to bear good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.”
| وَسَأَلَهُ ٱلْجُمُوعُ قَائِلِينَ: «فَمَاذَا نَفْعَلُ؟». | ١٠ 10 |
“What are we to do then?” the people asked.
| فَأَجَابَ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «مَنْ لَهُ ثَوْبَانِ فَلْيُعْطِ مَنْ لَيْسَ لَهُ، وَمَنْ لَهُ طَعَامٌ فَلْيَفْعَلْ هَكَذَا». | ١١ 11 |
“Let the man who has two coats,” answered John, “share with him who has none; and the man who has food do the same.”
| وَجَاءَ عَشَّارُونَ أَيْضًا لِيَعْتَمِدُوا فَقَالُوا لَهُ: «يَا مُعَلِّمُ، مَاذَا نَفْعَلُ؟». | ١٢ 12 |
Even tax-gatherers came to be baptized, and said to John: “Teacher, what are we to do?”
| فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «لَا تَسْتَوْفُوا أَكْثَرَ مِمَّا فُرِضَ لَكُمْ». | ١٣ 13 |
“Do not collect more than you have authority to demand,” John answered.
| وَسَأَلَهُ جُنُودٌ أَيْضًا قَائِلِينَ: «وَمَاذَا نَفْعَلُ نَحْنُ؟». فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «لَا تَظْلِمُوا أَحَدًا، وَلَا تَشُوا بِأَحَدٍ، وَٱكْتَفُوا بِعَلَائِفِكُمْ». | ١٤ 14 |
And when some soldiers on active service asked “And we — what are we to do?” he said: “Never use violence, or exact anything by false accusation; and be content with your pay.”
| وَإِذْ كَانَ ٱلشَّعْبُ يَنْتَظِرُ، وَٱلْجَمِيعُ يُفَكِّرُونَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ عَنْ يُوحَنَّا لَعَلَّهُ ٱلْمَسِيحُ، | ١٥ 15 |
Then, while the people were in suspense, and were all debating with themselves whether John could be the Christ,
| أَجَابَ يُوحَنَّا ٱلْجَمِيعَ قَائِلًا: «أَنَا أُعَمِّدُكُمْ بِمَاءٍ، وَلَكِنْ يَأْتِي مَنْ هُوَ أَقْوَى مِنِّي، ٱلَّذِي لَسْتُ أَهْلًا أَنْ أَحُلَّ سُيُورَ حِذَائِهِ. هُوَ سَيُعَمِّدُكُمْ بِٱلرُّوحِ ٱلْقُدُسِ وَنَارٍ. | ١٦ 16 |
John, addressing them all, said: “I, indeed, baptize you with water; but there is coming one more powerful than I, and I am not fit even to unfasten his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.
| ٱلَّذِي رَفْشُهُ فِي يَدِهِ، وَسَيُنَقِّي بَيْدَرَهُ، وَيَجْمَعُ ٱلْقَمْحَ إِلَى مَخْزَنِهِ، وَأَمَّا ٱلتِّبْنُ فَيُحْرِقُهُ بِنَارٍ لَا تُطْفَأُ». | ١٧ 17 |
His winnowing-fan is in his hand, that he may clear his threshing-floor, and store the grain in his barn, but the chaff he will burn with inextinguishable fire.”
| وَبِأَشْيَاءَ أُخَرَ كَثِيرَةٍ كَانَ يَعِظُ ٱلشَّعْبَ وَيُبَشِّرُهُمْ. | ١٨ 18 |
And so with many different exhortations John told his Good News to the people.
| أَمَّا هِيرُودُسُ رَئِيسُ ٱلرُّبْعِ فَإِذْ تَوَبَّخَ مِنْهُ لِسَبَبِ هِيرُودِيَّا ٱمْرَأَةِ فِيلُبُّسَ أَخِيهِ، وَلِسَبَبِ جَمِيعِ ٱلشُّرُورِ ٱلَّتِي كَانَ هِيرُودُسُ يَفْعَلُهَا، | ١٩ 19 |
But Prince Herod, being rebuked by John respecting Herodias, the wife of Herod’s brother, and for all the evil things that he had done,
| زَادَ هَذَا أَيْضًا عَلَى ٱلْجَمِيعِ أَنَّهُ حَبَسَ يُوحَنَّا فِي ٱلسِّجْنِ. | ٢٠ 20 |
crowned them all by shutting John up in prison.
| وَلَمَّا ٱعْتَمَدَ جَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱعْتَمَدَ يَسُوعُ أَيْضًا. وَإِذْ كَانَ يُصَلِّي ٱنْفَتَحَتِ ٱلسَّمَاءُ، | ٢١ 21 |
Now after the baptism of all the people, and when Jesus had been baptized and was still praying, the heavens opened,
| وَنَزَلَ عَلَيْهِ ٱلرُّوحُ ٱلْقُدُسُ بِهَيْئَةٍ جِسْمِيَّةٍ مِثْلِ حَمَامَةٍ. وَكَانَ صَوْتٌ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ قَائِلًا: «أَنْتَ ٱبْنِي ٱلْحَبِيبُ، بِكَ سُرِرْتُ». | ٢٢ 22 |
and the Holy Spirit descended, in a visible form, like a dove, upon him, and from the heavens came a voice — “Thou art my Son, the Beloved; in thee I delight.”
| وَلَمَّا ٱبْتَدَأَ يَسُوعُ كَانَ لَهُ نَحْوُ ثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً، وَهُوَ عَلَى مَا كَانَ يُظَنُّ ٱبْنَ يُوسُفَ، بْنِ هَالِي، | ٢٣ 23 |
