< Luke 11 >

1 When he finished praying in a certain place, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John also taught his disciples.”
وَكَانَ يُصَلِّي فِي أَحَدِ الأَمَاكِنِ، فَلَمَّا انْتَهَى، قَالَ لَهُ أَحَدُ تَلاَمِيذِهِ: «يَارَبُّ، عَلِّمْنَا أَنْ نُصَلِّيَ كَمَا عَلَّمَ يُوحَنَّا تَلاَمِيذَهُ».١
2 He said to them, “When you pray, say, ‘Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy. May your Kingdom come. May your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «عِنْدَمَا تُصَلُّونَ، قُولُوا: أَبَانَا [الَّذِي فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ]! لِيَتَقَدَّسِ اسْمُكَ، لِيَأْتِ مَلَكُوتُكَ. [لِتَكُنْ مَشِيئَتُكَ كَمَا فِي السَّمَاءِ كَذلِكَ عَلَى الأَرْضِ].٢
3 Give us day by day our daily bread.
خُبْزَنَا كَفَافَنَا أَعْطِنَا كُلَّ يَوْمٍ؛٣
4 Forgive us our sins, for we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. Bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’”
وَاغْفِرْ لَنَا خَطَايَانَا، لأَنَّنَا نَحْنُ أَيْضاً نَغْفِرُ لِكُلِّ مَنْ يُذْنِبُ إِلَيْنَا؛ وَلاَ تُدْخِلْنَا فِي تَجْرِبَةٍ [لكِنْ نَجِّنَا مِنَ الشِّرِّيرِ!]»٤
5 He said to them, “Which of you, if you go to a friend at midnight and tell him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,
ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُمْ: «مَنْ مِنْكُمْ يَكُونُ لَهُ صَدِيقٌ، فَيَذْهَبُ إِلَيْهِ فِي مُنْتَصَفِ اللَّيْلِ وَيَقُولُ لَهُ: يَاصَدِيقِي، أَقْرِضْنِي ثَلاَثَةَ أَرْغِفَةٍ،٥
6 for a friend of mine has come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him,’
فَقَدْ جَاءَنِي صَدِيقٌ مِنْ سَفَرٍ، وَلَيْسَ عِنْدِي مَا أُقَدِّمُ لَهُ!٦
7 and he from within will answer and say, ‘Don’t bother me. The door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I can’t get up and give it to you’?
لكِنَّ صَدِيقَهُ يُجِيبُهُ مِنَ الدَّاخِلِ: لاَ تُزْعِجْنِي! فَقَدْ أَقْفَلْتُ الْبَابَ، وَهَا أَنَا وَأَوْلاَدِي فِي الْفِرَاشِ. لاَ أَقْدِرُ أَنْ أَقُومَ وَأُعْطِيَكَ!٧
8 I tell you, although he will not rise and give it to him because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence, he will get up and give him as many as he needs.
أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنْ كَانَ لاَ يَقُومُ وَيُعْطِيهِ لأَنَّهُ صَدِيقُهُ، فَلاَبُدَّ أَنْ يَقُومَ وَيُعْطِيَهُ قَدْرَ مَا يَحْتَاجُ إِلَيْهِ، لأَنَّهُ أَلَحَّ فِي الطَّلَبِ.٨
9 “I tell you, keep asking, and it will be given you. Keep seeking, and you will find. Keep knocking, and it will be opened to you.
فَإِنِّي أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: اسْأَلُوا، تُعْطَوْا؛ اطْلُبُوا، تَجِدُوا؛ اقْرَعُوا، يُفْتَحْ لَكُمْ:٩
10 For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.
فَإِنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ يَسْأَلْ يَنَلْ، وَمَنْ يَسْعَ يَجِدْ، وَمَنْ يَقْرَعْ يُفْتَحْ لَهُ.١٠
11 “Which of you fathers, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, he won’t give him a snake instead of a fish, will he?
فَأَيُّ أَبٍ مِنْكُمْ يَطْلُبُ مِنْهُ ابْنُهُ خُبْزاً فَيُعْطِيهِ حَجَراً؟ أَوْ يَطْلُبُ سَمَكَةً فَيُعْطِيهِ بَدَلَ السَّمَكَةِ حَيَّةً؟١١
12 Or if he asks for an egg, he won’t give him a scorpion, will he?
أَوْ يَطْلُبُ بَيْضَةً، فَيُعْطِيهِ عَقْرَباً؟١٢
13 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?”
فَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ، أَنْتُمُ الأَشْرَارُ، تَعْرِفُونَ أَنْ تُعْطُوا أَوْلاَدَكُمْ عَطَايَا جَيِّدَةً، فَكَمْ بِالأَحْرَى الآبُ، الَّذِي مِنَ السَّمَاءِ يَهَبُ الرُّوحَ الْقُدُسَ لِمَنْ يَسْأَلُونَهُ؟»١٣
14 He was casting out a demon, and it was mute. When the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke; and the multitudes marveled.
وَكَانَ يَطْرُدُ شَيْطَاناً (مِن رَجُلٍ) كَانَ ذلِكَ الشَّيْطَانُ قَدْ أَخْرَسَهُ. فَلَمَّا طُرِدَ الشَّيْطَانُ، نَطَقَ الأَخْرَسُ. فَتَعَجَّبَتِ الجُمُوعُ.١٤
15 But some of them said, “He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons.”
وَلكِنَّ بَعْضاً مِنْهُمْ قَالُوا: «إِنَّمَا يَطْرُدُ الشَّيَاطِينَ بِبَعْلَزَبُولَ رَئِيسِ الشَّيَاطِينِ».١٥
16 Others, testing him, sought from him a sign from heaven.
وَطَلَبَ مِنْهُ آخَرُونَ، لِيُجَرِّبُوهُ، مُعْجِزَةً مِنَ السَّمَاءِ.١٦
17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation. A house divided against itself falls.
وَلكِنَّهُ عَلِمَ أَفْكَارَهُمْ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «كُلُّ مَمْلَكَةٍ تَنْقَسِمُ عَلَى ذَاتِهَا تَخْرَبُ، وَكُلُّ بَيْتٍ (يَنْقَسِمُ) عَلَى بَيْتٍ يَسْقُطُ.١٧
18 If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul.
فَإِنْ كَانَ الشَّيْطَانُ كَذلِكَ قَدِ انْقَسَمَ عَلَى ذَاتِهِ، فَكَيْفَ تَصْمُدُ مَمْلَكَتُهُ؟ فَقَدْ قُلْتُمْ إِنِّي أَطْرُدُ الشَّيَاطِينَ بِبَعْلَزَبُولَ.١٨
19 But if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.
وَلكِنْ، إِنْ كُنْتُ أَنَا أَطْرُدُ الشَّيَاطِينَ بِبَعْلَزَبُولَ، فَأَبْنَاؤُكُمْ بِمَنْ يَطْرُدُونَهُمْ؟ لِذلِكَ هُمْ يَحْكُمُونَ عَلَيْكُمْ.١٩
20 But if I by God’s finger cast out demons, then God’s Kingdom has come to you.
أَمَّا إِذَا كُنْتُ أَطْرُدُ الشَّيَاطِينَ بِإِصْبَعِ اللهِ، فَقَدْ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْكُمْ مَلَكُوتُ اللهِ.٢٠
21 “When the strong man, fully armed, guards his own dwelling, his goods are safe.
عِنْدَمَا يَحْرُسُ الْقَوِيُّ بَيْتَهُ وَهُوَ بِكَامِلِ سِلاَحِهِ، تَكُونُ أَمْتِعَتُهُ فِي مَأْمَنٍ.٢١
22 But when someone stronger attacks him and overcomes him, he takes from him his whole armor in which he trusted, and divides his plunder.
وَلكِنْ عِنْدَمَا يَغْزُوهُ مَنْ هُوَ أَقْوَى مِنْهُ فَيَغْلِبُهُ، فَإِنَّهُ يُجَرِّدُهُ مِنْ كَامِلِ سِلاَحِهِ الَّذِي اعْتَمَدَ عَلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ يُوَزِّعُ غَنَائِمَهُ.٢٢
23 “He who is not with me is against me. He who doesn’t gather with me scatters.
مَنْ لَيْسَ مَعِي، فَهُوَ ضِدِّي؛ وَمَنْ لاَ يَجْمَعُ مَعِي، فَهُوَ يُفَرِّقُ.٢٣
24 The unclean spirit, when he has gone out of the man, passes through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he says, ‘I will turn back to my house from which I came out.’
بَعْدَ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ الرُّوحُ النَّجِسُ مِنَ الإِنْسَانِ، يَهِيمُ فِي الأَمَاكِنِ الْقَاحِلَةِ طَلَباً لِلرَّاحَةِ، وَإِذْ لاَ يَجِدُ، يَقُولُ: سَأَرْجِعُ إِلَى بَيْتِي الَّذِي غَادَرْتُهُ!٢٤
25 When he returns, he finds it swept and put in order.
وَعِنْدَمَا يَأْتِي، يَجِدُهُ مَكْنُوساً مُزَيَّناً.٢٥
26 Then he goes and takes seven other spirits more evil than himself, and they enter in and dwell there. The last state of that man becomes worse than the first.”
فَيَذْهَبُ وَيَصْطَحِبُ سَبْعَةَ أَرْوَاحٍ أُخَرَ أَرْدَأَ مِنْهُ، فَتَدْخُلُ ذلِكَ الإِنْسَانَ وَتَسْكُنُهُ، فَتَصِيرُ الْحَالَةُ الأَخِيرَةُ لِذلِكَ الإِنْسَانِ أَرْدَأَ مِنَ الأُولَى!»٢٦
27 It came to pass, as he said these things, a certain woman out of the multitude lifted up her voice and said to him, “Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts which nursed you!”
وَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ يَتَكَلَّمُ بِهَذَا، رَفَعَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ بَيْنِ الْجَمْعِ صَوْتَهَا قَائِلَةً لَهُ: «طُوبَى لِلْبَطْنِ الَّذِي حَمَلَكَ، وَالثَّدْيَيْنِ اللَّذَيْنِ رَضِعْتَهُمَا!»٢٧
28 But he said, “On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God, and keep it.”
إِلاَّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «بَلْ طُوبَى لِلَّذِينَ يَسْمَعُونَ كَلِمَةَ اللهِ وَيَعْمَلُونَ بِهَا».٢٨
29 When the multitudes were gathering together to him, he began to say, “This is an evil generation. It seeks after a sign. No sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah the prophet.
وَإِذْ كَانَتِ الْجُمُوعُ تَزْدَحِمُ عَلَيْهِ، أَخَذَ يَقُولُ: «هَذَا الْجِيلُ جِيلٌ شِرِّيرٌ، يَطْلُبُ مُعْجِزَةً وَلَنْ يُعْطَى مُعْجِزَةً إِلاَّ مُعْجِزَةَ يُونَانَ.٢٩
30 For even as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so the Son of Man will also be to this generation.
فَإِنَّهُ كَمَا كَانَ يُونَانُ آيَةً لأَهْلِ نِينَوَى، فَهكَذَا أَيْضاً يَكُونُ ابْنُ الإِنْسَانِ لِهَذَا الْجِيلِ.٣٠
31 The Queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation and will condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, one greater than Solomon is here.
إِنَّ مَلِكَةَ الْجَنُوبِ سَتَقُومُ فِي الدَّيْنُونَةِ مَعَ هَذَا الْجِيلِ وَتَدِينُهُ لأَنَّهَا جَاءَتْ مِنْ أَقَاصِي الأَرْضِ لِتَسْمَعَ حِكْمَةَ سُلَيْمَانَ. وَهَا هُنَا أَعْظَمُ مِنْ سُلَيْمَانَ!٣١
32 The men of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, one greater than Jonah is here.
وَأَهْلُ نِينَوَى سَيَقِفُونَ فِي الدَّيْنُونَةِ مَعَ هَذَا الْجِيلِ وَيَدِينُونَهُ: لأَنَّهُمْ تَابُوا لَدَى وَعْظِ يُونَانَ لَهُمْ. وَهَا هُنَا أَعْظَمُ مِنْ يُونَانَ.٣٢
33 “No one, when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a cellar or under a basket, but on a stand, that those who come in may see the light.
لاَ أَحَدَ يُشْعِلُ مِصْبَاحاً وَيَضَعُهُ فِي مَكَانٍ مَخْفِيٍّ أَوْ تَحْتَ الْمِكْيَالِ، بَلْ يَرْفَعُهُ عَلَى الْمَنَارَةِ لِيَرَى الدَّاخِلُونَ النُّورَ.٣٣
34 The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore when your eye is good, your whole body is also full of light; but when it is evil, your body also is full of darkness.
عَيْنُكَ هِيَ مِصْبَاحُ الْجَسَدِ: إِذَا كَانَتْ عَيْنُكَ سَلِيمَةً، يَكُونُ جَسَدُكَ كُلُّهُ مُنَوَّراً؛ أَمَّا إِذَا كَانَتْ عَيْنُكَ شِرِّيرَةً، فَيَكُونُ جَسَدُكَ أَيْضاً مُظْلِماً.٣٤
35 Therefore see whether the light that is in you isn’t darkness.
فَتَنَبَّهْ إِذَنْ لِئَلاَّ يَكُونَ النُّورُ الَّذِي فِيكَ ظَلاَماً.٣٥
36 If therefore your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, it will be wholly full of light, as when the lamp with its bright shining gives you light.”
إِذَنْ، إِنْ كَانَ جَسَدُكَ كُلُّهُ مُنَوَّراً وَلَيْسَ فِيهِ جَانِبٌ مُظْلِمٌ، فَإِنَّهُ يَكُونُ مُنَوَّراً بِكَامِلِهِ، كَأَنَّمَا أَنَارَ لَكَ الْمِصْبَاحُ بِإِشْعَاعِهِ!»٣٦
37 Now as he spoke, a certain Pharisee asked him to dine with him. He went in and sat at the table.
وَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ يَتَكَلَّمُ، طَلَبَ إِلَيْهِ أَحَدُ الْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ أَنْ يَتَغَدَّى عِنْدَهُ. فَدَخَلَ (بَيْتَهُ) وَاتَّكَأَ.٣٧
38 When the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that he had not first washed himself before dinner.
وَلكِنَّ الْفَرِّيسِيَّ تَعَجَّبَ لَمَّا رَأَى أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَغْتَسِلْ قَبْلَ الْغَدَاءِ.٣٨
39 The Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter, but your inward part is full of extortion and wickedness.
فَقَالَ لَهُ الرَّبُّ: «أَنْتُمُ الْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ تُنَظِّفُونَ الْكَأْسَ وَالصَّحْفَةَ مِنَ الْخَارِجِ، وَلكِنَّكُمْ مِنَ الدَّاخِلِ مَمْلُوؤُونَ نَهْباً وَخُبْثاً.٣٩
40 You foolish ones, didn’t he who made the outside make the inside also?
أَيُّهَا الأَغْبِيَاءُ، أَلَيْسَ الَّذِي صَنَعَ الْخَارِجَ قَدْ صَنَعَ الدَّاخِلَ أَيْضاً؟٤٠
41 But give for gifts to the needy those things which are within, and behold, all things will be clean to you.
أَحْرَى بِكُمْ أَنْ تَتَصَدَّقُوا بِمَا عِنْدَكُمْ، فَيَكُونُ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ طَاهِراً لَكُمْ.٤١
42 But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, but you bypass justice and God’s love. You ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone.
وَلكِنِ الْوَيْلُ لَكُمْ أَيُّهَا الْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ فَإِنَّكُمْ تَدْفَعُونَ عُشْرَ النَّعْنَعِ وَالسَّذَّابِ وَالْبُقُولِ الأُخْرَى، وَتَتَجَاوَزُونَ عَنِ الْعَدْلِ وَمَحَبَّةِ اللهِ: كَانَ يَجِبُ أَنْ تَعْمَلُوا هَذَا وَلاَ تُهْمِلُوا ذَاكَ!٤٢
43 Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.
الْوَيْلُ لَكُمْ أَيُّهَا الْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ، فَإِنَّكُمْ تُحِبُّونَ تَصَدُّرَ الْمَقَاعِدِ الأُولَى فِي الْمَجَامِعِ وَتَلَقِّي التَّحِيَّاتِ فِي السَّاحَاتِ الْعَامَّةِ!٤٣
44 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like hidden graves, and the men who walk over them don’t know it.”
الْوَيْلُ لَكُمْ، فَإِنَّكُمْ تُشْبِهُونَ الْقُبُورَ الْمَخْفِيَّةَ، يَمْشِي النَّاسُ عَلَيْهَا وَهُمْ لاَ يَعْلَمُونَ!»٤٤
45 One of the lawyers answered him, “Teacher, in saying this you insult us also.”
وَتَكَلَّمَ أَحَدُ عُلَمَاءِ الشَّرِيعَةِ، قَائِلاً لَهُ: «يَامُعَلِّمُ، إِنَّكَ بِقَوْلِكَ هَذَا تُهِينُنَا نَحْنُ أَيْضاً».٤٥
46 He said, “Woe to you lawyers also! For you load men with burdens that are difficult to carry, and you yourselves won’t even lift one finger to help carry those burdens.
فَقَالَ: «وَالْوَيْلُ أَيْضاً لَكُمْ يَاعُلَمَاءَ الشَّرِيعَةِ، فَإِنَّكُمْ تُحَمِّلُونَ النَّاسَ أَحْمَالاً مُرْهِقَةً، وَأَنْتُمْ لاَ تَمَسُّونَهَا بِإِصْبَعٍ مِنْ أَصَابِعِكُمْ!٤٦
47 Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
الْوَيْلُ لَكُمْ، فَإِنَّكُمْ تَبْنُونَ قُبُورَ الأَنْبِيَاءِ وَآبَاؤُكُمْ قَتَلُوهُمْ.٤٧
48 So you testify and consent to the works of your fathers. For they killed them, and you build their tombs.
فَأَنْتُمْ إِذَنْ تَشْهَدُونَ مُوَافِقِينَ عَلَى أَعْمَالِ آبَائِكُمْ: فَهُمْ قَتَلُوا الأَنْبِيَاءَ، وَأَنْتُمْ تَبْنُونَ قُبُورَهُمْ.٤٨
49 Therefore also the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send to them prophets and apostles; and some of them they will kill and persecute,
لِهَذَا السَّبَبِ أَيْضاً قَالَتْ حِكْمَةُ اللهِ: سَأُرْسِلُ إِلَيْهِمْ أَنْبِيَاءَ وَرُسُلاً، فَيَقْتُلُونَ مِنْهُمْ وَيَضْطَهِدُونَ،٤٩
50 that the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation,
حَتَّى إِنَّ دِمَاءَ جَمِيعِ الأَنْبِيَاءِ الْمَسْفُوكَةَ مُنْذُ تَأْسِيسِ الْعَالَمِ، يُطَالَبُ بِهَا هَذَا الْجِيلُ،٥٠
51 from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zachariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary.’ Yes, I tell you, it will be required of this generation.
مِنْ دَمِ هَابِيلَ إِلَى دَمِ زَكَرِيَّا الَّذِي قُتِلَ بَيْنَ الْمَذْبَحِ وَالْقُدْسِ! أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: نَعَمْ، إِنَّ تِلْكَ الدِّمَاءَ يُطَالَبُ بِهَا هَذَا الْجِيلُ.٥١
52 Woe to you lawyers! For you took away the key of knowledge. You didn’t enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in, you hindered.”
الْوَيْلُ لَكُمْ يَاعُلَمَاءَ الشَّرِيعَةِ، فَإِنَّكُمْ خَطِفْتُمْ مِفْتَاحَ الْمَعْرِفَةِ، فَلاَ أَنْتُمْ دَخَلْتُمْ وَلاَ تَرَكْتُمُ الدَّاخِلِينَ يَدْخُلُونَ!»٥٢
53 As he said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to be terribly angry, and to draw many things out of him,
وَفيِمَا هُوَ خَارِجٌ مِنْ هُنَاكَ، بَدَأَ الْكَتَبَةُ وَالْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ يُضَيِّقُونَ عَلَيْهِ كَثِيراً، وَأَخَذُوا يَسْتَدْرِجُونَهُ إِلَى الْكَلاَمِ فِي أُمُورٍ كَثِيرَةٍ،٥٣
54 lying in wait for him, and seeking to catch him in something he might say, that they might accuse him.
وَهُمْ يُرَاقِبُونَهُ سَعْياً إِلَى اصْطِيَادِهِ بِكَلاَمٍ يَقُولُهُ.٥٤
