< مَتَّى 11 >

وَلَمَّا أَكْمَلَ يَسُوعُ أَمْرَهُ لِتَلَامِيذِهِ ٱلِٱثْنَيْ عَشَرَ، ٱنْصَرَفَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ لِيُعَلِّمَ وَيَكْرِزَ فِي مُدُنِهِمْ. ١ 1
And it came to pass, when Jesus finished directing His twelve disciples, He departed from there to teach and to preach in their cities.
أَمَّا يُوحَنَّا فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ فِي ٱلسِّجْنِ بِأَعْمَالِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، أَرْسَلَ ٱثْنَيْنِ مِنْ تَلَامِيذِهِ، ٢ 2
And John having heard in the prison the works of the Christ, having sent two of his disciples,
وَقَالَ لَهُ: «أَنْتَ هُوَ ٱلْآتِي أَمْ نَنْتَظِرُ آخَرَ؟». ٣ 3
said to Him, “Are You He who is coming, or do we look for another?”
فَأَجَابَ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ لَهُمَا: «ٱذْهَبَا وَأَخْبِرَا يُوحَنَّا بِمَا تَسْمَعَانِ وَتَنْظُرَانِ: ٤ 4
And Jesus answering said to them, “Having gone, declare to John the things that you hear and see,
اَلْعُمْيُ يُبْصِرُونَ، وَٱلْعُرْجُ يَمْشُونَ، وَٱلْبُرْصُ يُطَهَّرُونَ، وَٱلصُّمُّ يَسْمَعُونَ، وَٱلْمَوْتَى يَقُومُونَ، وَٱلْمَسَاكِينُ يُبَشَّرُونَ. ٥ 5
blind receive sight, and lame walk, lepers are cleansed, and deaf hear, dead are raised, and poor have good news proclaimed,
وَطُوبَى لِمَنْ لَا يَعْثُرُ فِيَّ». ٦ 6
and blessed is he who may not be stumbled in Me.”
وَبَيْنَمَا ذَهَبَ هَذَانِ ٱبْتَدَأَ يَسُوعُ يَقُولُ لِلْجُمُوعِ عَنْ يُوحَنَّا: «مَاذَا خَرَجْتُمْ إِلَى ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ لِتَنْظُرُوا؟ أَقَصَبَةً تُحَرِّكُهَا ٱلرِّيحُ؟ ٧ 7
And as they are going, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John, “What did you go out to the wilderness to view? A reed shaken by the wind?
لَكِنْ مَاذَا خَرَجْتُمْ لِتَنْظُرُوا؟ أَإِنْسَانًا لَابِسًا ثِيَابًا نَاعِمَةً؟ هُوَذَا ٱلَّذِينَ يَلْبَسُونَ ٱلثِّيَابَ ٱلنَّاعِمَةَ هُمْ فِي بُيُوتِ ٱلْمُلُوكِ. ٨ 8
But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft garments? Behold, those wearing the soft things are in the kings’ houses.
لَكِنْ مَاذَا خَرَجْتُمْ لِتَنْظُرُوا؟ أَنَبِيًّا؟ نَعَمْ، أَقُولُ لَكُمْ، وَأَفْضَلَ مِنْ نَبِيٍّ. ٩ 9
But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet,
فَإِنَّ هَذَا هُوَ ٱلَّذِي كُتِبَ عَنْهُ: هَا أَنَا أُرْسِلُ أَمَامَ وَجْهِكَ مَلَاكِي ٱلَّذِي يُهَيِّئُ طَرِيقَكَ قُدَّامَكَ. ١٠ 10
for this is he of whom it has been written: Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, who will prepare Your way before You.
اَلْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: لَمْ يَقُمْ بَيْنَ ٱلْمَوْلُودِينَ مِنَ ٱلنِّسَاءِ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ يُوحَنَّا ٱلْمَعْمَدَانِ، وَلَكِنَّ ٱلْأَصْغَرَ فِي مَلَكُوتِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ أَعْظَمُ مِنْهُ. ١١ 11
Truly I say to you, there has not risen, among those born of women, [one] greater than John the Immerser, but he who is least in the kingdom of the heavens is greater than he.
وَمِنْ أَيَّامِ يُوحَنَّا ٱلْمَعْمَدَانِ إِلَى ٱلْآنَ مَلَكُوتُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ يُغْصَبُ، وَٱلْغَاصِبُونَ يَخْتَطِفُونَهُ. ١٢ 12
And from the days of John the Immerser until now, the kingdom of the heavens suffers violence, and violent men seize it by force,
لِأَنَّ جَمِيعَ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَٱلنَّامُوسَ إِلَى يُوحَنَّا تَنَبَّأُوا. ١٣ 13
for all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John,
وَإِنْ أَرَدْتُمْ أَنْ تَقْبَلُوا، فَهَذَا هُوَ إِيلِيَّا ٱلْمُزْمِعُ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ. ١٤ 14
and if you are willing to receive [it], he is Elijah who was about to come;
مَنْ لَهُ أُذُنَانِ لِلسَّمْعِ فَلْيَسْمَعْ. ١٥ 15
he who is having ears to hear—let him hear.
«وَبِمَنْ أُشَبِّهُ هَذَا ٱلْجِيلَ؟ يُشْبِهُ أَوْلَادًا جَالِسِينَ فِي ٱلْأَسْوَاقِ يُنَادُونَ إِلَى أَصْحَابِهِمْ ١٦ 16
And to what will I liken this generation? It is like little children in marketplaces, sitting and calling to others,
وَيَقُولُونَ: زَمَّرْنَا لَكُمْ فَلَمْ تَرْقُصُوا! نُحْنَا لَكُمْ فَلَمْ تَلْطِمُوا! ١٧ 17
and saying, We piped to you, and you did not dance, we lamented to you, and you did not strike the breast.
لِأَنَّهُ جَاءَ يُوحَنَّا لَا يَأْكُلُ وَلَا يَشْرَبُ، فَيَقُولُونَ: فِيهِ شَيْطَانٌ. ١٨ 18
For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He has a demon;
جَاءَ ٱبْنُ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ يَأْكُلُ وَيَشْرَبُ، فَيَقُولُونَ: هُوَذَا إِنْسَانٌ أَكُولٌ وَشِرِّيبُ خَمْرٍ، مُحِبٌّ لِلْعَشَّارِينَ وَٱلْخُطَاةِ. وَٱلْحِكْمَةُ تَبَرَّرَتْ مِنْ بَنِيهَا». ١٩ 19
the Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold, a man, a glutton, and a wine-drinker, a friend of tax collectors and sinners; and wisdom was justified of her children.”
حِينَئِذٍ ٱبْتَدَأَ يُوَبِّخُ ٱلْمُدُنَ ٱلَّتِي صُنِعَتْ فِيهَا أَكْثَرُ قُوَّاتِهِ لِأَنَّهَا لَمْ تَتُبْ: ٢٠ 20
Then He began to reproach the cities in which were done most of His mighty works, because they did not convert.
«وَيْلٌ لَكِ يا كُورَزِينُ! وَيْلٌ لَكِ يا بَيْتَ صَيْدَا! لِأَنَّهُ لَوْ صُنِعَتْ فِي صُورَ وَصَيْدَاءَ ٱلْقُوَّاتُ ٱلْمَصْنُوعَةُ فِيكُمَا، لَتَابَتَا قَدِيمًا فِي ٱلْمُسُوحِ وَٱلرَّمَادِ. ٢١ 21
“Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! Because, if in Tyre and Sidon had been done the mighty works that were done in you, long ago in sackcloth and ashes they had converted;
وَلَكِنْ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ صُورَ وَصَيْدَاءَ تَكُونُ لَهُمَا حَالَةٌ أَكْثَرُ ٱحْتِمَالًا يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ مِمَّا لَكُمَا. ٢٢ 22
but I say to you, to Tyre and Sidon it will be more tolerable in [the] day of judgment than for you.
وَأَنْتِ ياكَفْرَنَاحُومَ ٱلْمُرْتَفِعَةَ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَاءِ! سَتُهْبَطِينَ إِلَى ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ. لِأَنَّهُ لَوْ صُنِعَتْ فِي سَدُومَ ٱلْقُوَّاتُ ٱلْمَصْنُوعَةُ فِيكِ لَبَقِيَتْ إِلَى ٱلْيَوْمِ. (Hadēs g86) ٢٣ 23
And you, Capernaum, which were exalted to Heaven, will be brought down to Hades, because if the mighty works that were done in you had been done in Sodom, it had remained to this day; (Hadēs g86)
وَلَكِنْ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ أَرْضَ سَدُومَ تَكُونُ لَهَا حَالَةٌ أَكْثَرُ ٱحْتِمَالًا يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ مِمَّا لَكِ». ٢٤ 24
but I say to you, to the land of Sodom it will be more tolerable in [the] day of judgment than to you.”
فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ أَجَابَ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ: «أَحْمَدُكَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْآبُ رَبُّ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ، لِأَنَّكَ أَخْفَيْتَ هَذِهِ عَنِ ٱلْحُكَمَاءِ وَٱلْفُهَمَاءِ وَأَعْلَنْتَهَا لِلْأَطْفَالِ. ٢٥ 25
At that time Jesus answering said, “I confess to You, Father, Lord of the heavens and of the earth, that You hid these things from wise and understanding ones, and revealed them to babies.
نَعَمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْآبُ، لِأَنْ هَكَذَا صَارَتِ ٱلْمَسَرَّةُ أَمَامَكَ. ٢٦ 26
Yes, Father, because so it was good pleasure before You.
كُلُّ شَيْءٍ قَدْ دُفِعَ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَبِي، وَلَيْسَ أَحَدٌ يَعْرِفُ ٱلِٱبْنَ إِلَّا ٱلْآبُ، وَلَا أَحَدٌ يَعْرِفُ ٱلْآبَ إِلَّا ٱلِٱبْنُ وَمَنْ أَرَادَ ٱلِٱبْنُ أَنْ يُعْلِنَ لَهُ. ٢٧ 27
All things were delivered to Me by My Father, and none know the Son, except the Father, nor does any know the Father, except the Son, and he to whom the Son may resolve to reveal [Him].
تَعَالَوْا إِلَيَّ يا جَمِيعَ ٱلْمُتْعَبِينَ وَٱلثَّقِيلِي ٱلْأَحْمَالِ، وَأَنَا أُرِيحُكُمْ. ٢٨ 28
Come to Me, all you laboring and burdened ones, and I will give you rest;
اِحْمِلُوا نِيرِي عَلَيْكُمْ وَتَعَلَّمُوا مِنِّي، لِأَنِّي وَدِيعٌ وَمُتَوَاضِعُ ٱلْقَلْبِ، فَتَجِدُوا رَاحَةً لِنُفُوسِكُمْ. ٢٩ 29
take up My yoke on you, and learn from Me, because I am meek and humble in heart, and you will find rest to your souls,
لِأَنَّ نِيرِي هَيِّنٌ وَحِمْلِي خَفِيفٌ». ٣٠ 30
for My yoke [is] easy, and My burden is light.”
