< Luke 7 >

1 After he had finished speaking in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
ܘܟܕ ܫܠܡ ܡܠܐ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܠܡܫܡܥܬܗ ܕܥܡܐ ܥܠ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܟܦܪܢܚܘܡ
2 A certain centurion’s servant, who was dear to him, was sick and at the point of death.
ܥܒܕܗ ܕܝܢ ܕܩܢܛܪܘܢܐ ܚܕ ܥܒܝܕ ܗܘܐ ܒܝܫܐܝܬ ܐܝܢܐ ܕܝܩܝܪ ܗܘܐ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܘܩܪܝܒ ܗܘܐ ܠܡܡܬ
3 When he heard about Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, asking him to come and save his servant.
ܘܫܡܥ ܥܠ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܫܕܪ ܠܘܬܗ ܩܫܝܫܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܘܒܥܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܢܗ ܐܝܟ ܕܢܐܬܐ ܢܚܐ ܠܥܒܕܗ
4 When they came to Jesus, they begged him earnestly, saying, “He is worthy for you to do this for him,
ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܐܬܘ ܠܘܬ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܢܗ ܒܛܝܠܐܝܬ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܫܘܐ ܗܘ ܕܬܥܒܕ ܠܗ ܗܕܐ
5 for he loves our nation, and he built our synagogue for us.”
ܪܚܡ ܓܝܪ ܠܥܡܢ ܘܐܦ ܒܝܬ ܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܗܘ ܒܢܐ ܠܢ
6 Jesus went with them. When he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him, “Lord, don’t trouble yourself, for I am not worthy for you to come under my roof.
ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܐܙܠ ܗܘܐ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܟܕ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܤܓܝ ܪܚܝܩ ܡܢ ܒܝܬܐ ܫܕܪ ܠܘܬܗ ܩܢܛܪܘܢܐ ܪܚܡܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܪܝ ܠܐ ܬܥܡܠ ܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܫܘܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܬܥܘܠ ܬܚܝܬ ܡܛܠܠܝ
7 Therefore I didn’t even think myself worthy to come to you; but say the word, and my servant will be healed.
ܡܛܠ ܗܘ ܐܢܐ ܠܐ ܫܘܝܬ ܕܠܘܬܟ ܐܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܡܪ ܒܡܠܬܐ ܘܢܬܐܤܐ ܛܠܝܝ
8 For I also am a man placed under authority, having under myself soldiers. I tell this one, ‘Go!’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come!’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”
ܐܦ ܐܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܓܒܪܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܡܫܥܒܕ ܐܢܐ ܬܚܝܬ ܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܘܐܝܬ ܬܚܝܬ ܐܝܕܝ ܐܤܛܪܛܝܘܛܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܗܢܐ ܕܙܠ ܘܐܙܠ ܘܠܐܚܪܢܐ ܕܬܐ ܘܐܬܐ ܘܠܥܒܕܝ ܥܒܕ ܗܕܐ ܘܥܒܕ
9 When Jesus heard these things, he marveled at him, and turned and said to the multitude who followed him, “I tell you, I have not found such great faith, no, not in Israel.”
ܟܕ ܫܡܥ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܬܕܡܪ ܒܗ ܘܐܬܦܢܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܟܢܫܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܒܬܪܗ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܐܦ ܠܐ ܒܝܬ ܐܝܤܪܝܠ ܐܫܟܚܬ ܐܝܟ ܗܕܐ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ
10 Those who were sent, returning to the house, found that the servant who had been sick was well.
ܘܗܦܟܘ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܐܫܬܕܪܘ ܠܒܝܬܐ ܘܐܫܟܚܘ ܠܥܒܕܐ ܗܘ ܕܟܪܝܗ ܗܘܐ ܟܕ ܚܠܝܡ
11 Soon afterwards, he went to a city called Nain. Many of his disciples, along with a great multitude, went with him.
ܘܗܘܐ ܠܝܘܡܐ ܕܒܬܪܗ ܐܙܠ ܗܘܐ ܠܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܕܫܡܗ ܢܐܝܢ ܘܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܥܡܗ ܘܟܢܫܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ
12 Now when he came near to the gate of the city, behold, one who was dead was carried out, the only born son of his mother, and she was a widow. Many people of the city were with her.
ܘܟܕ ܩܪܒ ܠܬܪܥܐ ܕܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܚܙܐ ܟܕ ܡܠܘܝܢ ܡܝܬܐ ܕܝܚܝܕܝܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܐܡܗ ܘܗܝ ܐܡܗ ܐܪܡܠܬܐ ܗܘܬ ܘܟܢܫܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܕܒܢܝ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܥܡܗ
13 When the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her and said to her, “Don’t cry.”
ܚܙܗ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܬܪܚܡ ܥܠܝܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܠܐ ܬܒܟܝܢ
14 He came near and touched the coffin, and the bearers stood still. He said, “Young man, I tell you, arise!”
ܘܐܙܠ ܩܪܒ ܠܥܪܤܐ ܘܗܢܘܢ ܕܫܩܝܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܩܡܘ ܘܐܡܪ ܥܠܝܡܐ ܠܟ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܩܘܡ
15 He who was dead sat up and began to speak. Then he gave him to his mother.
ܘܝܬܒ ܗܘ ܡܝܬܐ ܘܫܪܝ ܠܡܡܠܠܘ ܘܝܗܒܗ ܠܐܡܗ
16 Fear took hold of all, and they glorified God, saying, “A great prophet has arisen among us!” and, “God has visited his people!”
ܘܐܚܕܬ ܕܚܠܬܐ ܠܐܢܫܐ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܘܡܫܒܚܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܕܢܒܝܐ ܪܒܐ ܩܡ ܒܢ ܘܤܥܪ ܐܠܗܐ ܠܥܡܗ
17 This report went out concerning him in the whole of Judea and in all the surrounding region.
ܘܢܦܩܬ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܡܠܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܒܟܠܗ ܝܗܘܕ ܘܒܟܠܗ ܐܬܪܐ ܕܚܕܪܝܗܘܢ
18 The disciples of John told him about all these things.
ܘܐܫܬܥܝܘ ܠܝܘܚܢܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܗܠܝܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ
19 John, calling to himself two of his disciples, sent them to Jesus, saying, “Are you the one who is coming, or should we look for another?”
ܘܩܪܐ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܠܬܪܝܢ ܡܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܫܕܪ ܐܢܘܢ ܠܘܬ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܐܢܬ ܗܘ ܗܘ ܕܐܬܐ ܐܘ ܠܐܚܪܝܢ ܗܘ ܡܤܟܝܢ ܚܢܢ
20 When the men had come to him, they said, “John the Baptizer has sent us to you, saying, ‘Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?’”
ܘܐܬܘ ܠܘܬ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܡܥܡܕܢܐ ܫܕܪܢ ܠܘܬܟ ܘܐܡܪ ܐܢܬ ܗܘ ܗܘ ܕܐܬܐ ܐܘ ܠܐܚܪܝܢ ܗܘ ܡܤܟܝܢ ܚܢܢ
21 In that hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits; and to many who were blind he gave sight.
ܒܗ ܕܝܢ ܒܗܝ ܫܥܬܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܐܤܝ ܡܢ ܟܘܪܗܢܐ ܘܡܢ ܡܚܘܬܐ ܘܡܢ ܪܘܚܐ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܘܠܤܓܝܐܐ ܤܡܝܐ ܝܗܒ ܗܘܐ ܠܡܚܙܐ
22 Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John the things which you have seen and heard: that the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.
ܘܥܢܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܙܠܘ ܐܡܪܘ ܠܝܘܚܢܢ ܟܠܡܕܡ ܕܚܙܝܬܘܢ ܘܫܡܥܬܘܢ ܕܤܡܝܐ ܚܙܝܢ ܘܚܓܝܪܐ ܡܗܠܟܝܢ ܘܓܪܒܐ ܡܬܕܟܝܢ ܘܚܪܫܐ ܫܡܥܝܢ ܘܡܝܬܐ ܩܝܡܝܢ ܘܡܤܟܢܐ ܡܤܬܒܪܝܢ
23 Blessed is he who finds no occasion for stumbling in me.”
ܘܛܘܒܘܗܝ ܠܡܢ ܕܠܐ ܢܬܟܫܠ ܒܝ
24 When John’s messengers had departed, he began to tell the multitudes about John, “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
ܟܕ ܕܝܢ ܐܙܠܘ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܕܝܘܚܢܢ ܫܪܝ ܠܡܐܡܪ ܠܟܢܫܐ ܥܠ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܡܢܐ ܢܦܩܬܘܢ ܠܚܘܪܒܐ ܠܡܚܙܐ ܩܢܝܐ ܕܡܢ ܪܘܚܐ ܡܬܬܙܝܥ
25 But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft clothing? Behold, those who are gorgeously dressed and live delicately are in kings’ courts.
ܘܐܠܐ ܡܢܐ ܢܦܩܬܘܢ ܠܡܚܙܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܕܢܚܬܐ ܪܟܝܟܐ ܠܒܝܫ ܗܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܒܠܒܘܫܐ ܡܫܒܚܐ ܘܒܦܘܢܩܐ ܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܒܝܬ ܡܠܟܐ ܐܢܘܢ
26 But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.
ܘܐܠܐ ܡܢܐ ܢܦܩܬܘܢ ܠܡܚܙܐ ܢܒܝܐ ܐܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܝܬܝܪ ܡܢ ܢܒܝܐ
27 This is he of whom it is written, ‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’
ܗܢܘ ܕܥܠܘܗܝ ܟܬܝܒ ܕܗܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܫܕܪ ܐܢܐ ܡܠܐܟܝ ܩܕܡ ܦܪܨܘܦܟ ܕܢܬܩܢ ܐܘܪܚܐ ܩܕܡܝܟ
28 “For I tell you, among those who are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptizer; yet he who is least in God’s Kingdom is greater than he.”
ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܠܝܬ ܢܒܝܐ ܒܝܠܝܕܝ ܢܫܐ ܕܪܒ ܡܢ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܡܥܡܕܢܐ ܙܥܘܪܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܪܒ ܗܘ ܡܢܗ
29 When all the people and the tax collectors heard this, they declared God to be just, having been baptized with John’s baptism.
ܘܟܠܗ ܥܡܐ ܕܫܡܥܘ ܐܦ ܡܟܤܐ ܙܕܩܘ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܕܥܡܕܘ ܡܥܡܘܕܝܬܗ ܕܝܘܚܢܢ
30 But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the counsel of God, not being baptized by him themselves.
ܦܪܝܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܘܤܦܪܐ ܛܠܡܘ ܒܢܦܫܗܘܢ ܨܒܝܢܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܠܐ ܐܬܥܡܕܘ ܡܢܗ
31 “To what then should I compare the people of this generation? What are they like?
ܠܡܢ ܗܟܝܠ ܐܕܡܐ ܠܐܢܫܐ ܕܫܪܒܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܘܠܡܢ ܕܡܝܢ
32 They are like children who sit in the marketplace and call to one another, saying, ‘We piped to you, and you didn’t dance. We mourned, and you didn’t weep.’
ܕܡܝܢ ܠܛܠܝܐ ܕܝܬܒܝܢ ܒܫܘܩܐ ܘܩܥܝܢ ܠܚܒܪܝܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܙܡܪܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܪܩܕܬܘܢ ܘܐܠܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܒܟܝܬܘܢ
33 For John the Baptizer came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon.’
ܐܬܐ ܓܝܪ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܡܥܡܕܢܐ ܠܐ ܐܟܠ ܠܚܡܐ ܘܠܐ ܫܬܐ ܚܡܪܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܫܐܕܐ ܐܝܬ ܒܗ
34 The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Behold, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’
ܐܬܐ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܐܟܠ ܘܫܬܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܗܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܐܟܘܠܐ ܘܫܬܐ ܚܡܪܐ ܘܪܚܡܐ ܕܡܟܤܐ ܘܕܚܛܝܐ
35 Wisdom is justified by all her children.”
ܘܐܙܕܕܩܬ ܚܟܡܬܐ ܡܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܒܢܝܗ
36 One of the Pharisees invited him to eat with him. He entered into the Pharisee’s house and sat at the table.
ܐܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܥܐ ܡܢܗ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܕܢܠܥܤ ܥܡܗ ܘܥܠ ܠܒܝܬܗ ܕܦܪܝܫܐ ܗܘ ܘܐܤܬܡܟ
37 Behold, a woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that he was reclining in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster jar of ointment.
ܘܐܢܬܬܐ ܚܛܝܬܐ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܬ ܒܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܗܝ ܘܟܕ ܝܕܥܬ ܕܒܒܝܬܗ ܕܦܪܝܫܐ ܗܘ ܤܡܝܟ ܢܤܒܬ ܫܛܝܦܬܐ ܕܒܤܡܐ
38 Standing behind at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and she wiped them with the hair of her head, kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
ܘܩܡܬ ܒܤܬܪܗ ܠܘܬ ܪܓܠܘܗܝ ܘܒܟܝܐ ܗܘܬ ܘܫܪܝܬ ܒܕܡܥܝܗ ܡܨܒܥܐ ܪܓܠܘܗܝ ܘܒܤܥܪܐ ܕܪܫܗ ܡܫܘܝܢ ܠܗܝܢ ܘܡܢܫܩܐ ܗܘܬ ܪܓܠܘܗܝ ܘܡܫܚܐ ܒܤܡܐ
39 Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw it, he said to himself, “This man, if he were a prophet, would have perceived who and what kind of woman this is who touches him, that she is a sinner.”
ܟܕ ܚܙܐ ܕܝܢ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܗܘ ܕܩܪܝܗܝ ܐܬܚܫܒ ܒܢܦܫܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܗܢܐ ܐܠܘ ܢܒܝܐ ܗܘܐ ܝܕܥ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܗܝ ܘܡܐ ܛܒܗ ܕܚܛܝܬܐ ܗܝ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܗܝ ܕܩܪܒܬ ܠܗ
40 Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” He said, “Teacher, say on.”
ܥܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܡܕܡ ܐܝܬ ܠܝ ܕܐܡܪ ܠܟ ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܡܪ ܪܒܝ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ
41 “A certain lender had two debtors. The one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.
ܬܪܝܢ ܚܝܒܐ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܘ ܠܚܕ ܡܪܐ ܚܘܒܐ ܚܕ ܚܝܒ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢܪܐ ܚܡܫܡܐܐ ܘܐܚܪܢܐ ܕܝܢܪܐ ܚܡܫܝܢ
42 When they couldn’t pay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore will love him most?”
ܘܕܠܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܡܦܪܥ ܠܬܪܝܗܘܢ ܫܒܩ ܐܝܢܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܝܬܝܪ ܢܚܒܝܘܗܝ
43 Simon answered, “He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the most.” He said to him, “You have judged correctly.”
ܥܢܐ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܤܒܪ ܐܢܐ ܕܗܘ ܕܐܫܬܒܩ ܠܗ ܤܓܝ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܬܪܝܨܐܝܬ ܕܢܬ
44 Turning to the woman, he said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered into your house, and you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head.
ܘܐܬܦܢܝ ܠܘܬ ܗܝ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܫܡܥܘܢ ܚܙܐ ܐܢܬ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܠܒܝܬܟ ܥܠܬ ܡܝܐ ܠܪܓܠܝ ܠܐ ܝܗܒܬ ܗܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܕܡܥܝܗ ܪܓܠܝ ܨܒܥܬ ܘܒܤܥܪܗ ܫܘܝܬ ܐܢܝܢ
45 You gave me no kiss, but she, since the time I came in, has not ceased to kiss my feet.
ܐܢܬ ܠܐ ܢܫܩܬܢܝ ܗܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܗܐ ܡܢ ܕܥܠܬ ܠܐ ܫܠܝܬ ܪܓܠܝ ܠܡܢܫܩܘ
46 You didn’t anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment.
ܐܢܬ ܡܫܚܐ ܠܪܫܝ ܠܐ ܡܫܚܬ ܗܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܡܫܚܐ ܕܒܤܡܐ ܪܓܠܝ ܡܫܚܬ
47 Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But one to whom little is forgiven, loves little.”
ܚܠܦ ܗܕܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ ܕܫܒܝܩܝܢ ܠܗ ܚܛܗܝܗ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܚܒܬ ܤܓܝ ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܕܩܠܝܠ ܡܫܬܒܩ ܠܗ ܩܠܝܠ ܡܚܒ
48 He said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”
ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܝ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܫܒܝܩܝܢ ܠܟܝ ܚܛܗܝܟܝ
49 Those who sat at the table with him began to say to themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”
ܫܪܝܘ ܕܝܢ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܤܡܝܟܝܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܒܢܦܫܗܘܢ ܡܢܘ ܗܢܐ ܕܐܦ ܚܛܗܐ ܫܒܩ
50 He said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”
ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܝ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܟܝ ܐܚܝܬܟܝ ܙܠܝ ܒܫܠܡܐ
