< مَتَّى 11 >

وَلَمَّا أَكْمَلَ يَسُوعُ أَمْرَهُ لِتَلَامِيذِهِ ٱلِٱثْنَيْ عَشَرَ، ٱنْصَرَفَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ لِيُعَلِّمَ وَيَكْرِزَ فِي مُدُنِهِمْ. ١ 1
It came about that when Jesus had finished instructing his twelve disciples, he departed from there to teach and preach in their cities.
أَمَّا يُوحَنَّا فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ فِي ٱلسِّجْنِ بِأَعْمَالِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، أَرْسَلَ ٱثْنَيْنِ مِنْ تَلَامِيذِهِ، ٢ 2
Now when John heard in the prison about the deeds of the Christ, he sent a message by his disciples
وَقَالَ لَهُ: «أَنْتَ هُوَ ٱلْآتِي أَمْ نَنْتَظِرُ آخَرَ؟». ٣ 3
and said to him, “Are you the one who is coming, or should we look for another?”
فَأَجَابَ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ لَهُمَا: «ٱذْهَبَا وَأَخْبِرَا يُوحَنَّا بِمَا تَسْمَعَانِ وَتَنْظُرَانِ: ٤ 4
Jesus answered and said to them, “Go and report to John what you see and hear.
اَلْعُمْيُ يُبْصِرُونَ، وَٱلْعُرْجُ يَمْشُونَ، وَٱلْبُرْصُ يُطَهَّرُونَ، وَٱلصُّمُّ يَسْمَعُونَ، وَٱلْمَوْتَى يَقُومُونَ، وَٱلْمَسَاكِينُ يُبَشَّرُونَ. ٥ 5
Blind people are receiving sight, lame people are walking, lepers are being cleansed, deaf people are hearing again, people who have died are being raised back to life, and needy people are being told the good news.
وَطُوبَى لِمَنْ لَا يَعْثُرُ فِيَّ». ٦ 6
Blessed is anyone who is not offended by me.”
وَبَيْنَمَا ذَهَبَ هَذَانِ ٱبْتَدَأَ يَسُوعُ يَقُولُ لِلْجُمُوعِ عَنْ يُوحَنَّا: «مَاذَا خَرَجْتُمْ إِلَى ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ لِتَنْظُرُوا؟ أَقَصَبَةً تُحَرِّكُهَا ٱلرِّيحُ؟ ٧ 7
As these men went on their way, Jesus began to say to the crowds about John, “What did you go out in the desert to see—a reed being 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 dressed in soft clothing? Really, those who wear soft clothing live in 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 much more than a prophet.
فَإِنَّ هَذَا هُوَ ٱلَّذِي كُتِبَ عَنْهُ: هَا أَنَا أُرْسِلُ أَمَامَ وَجْهِكَ مَلَاكِي ٱلَّذِي يُهَيِّئُ طَرِيقَكَ قُدَّامَكَ. ١٠ 10
This is he of whom it was written, 'See, I am sending 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
I say to you truly, among those born of women no one is greater than John the Baptist. Yet the least important person in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he is.
وَمِنْ أَيَّامِ يُوحَنَّا ٱلْمَعْمَدَانِ إِلَى ٱلْآنَ مَلَكُوتُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ يُغْصَبُ، وَٱلْغَاصِبُونَ يَخْتَطِفُونَهُ. ١٢ 12
From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and men of violence take it by force.
لِأَنَّ جَمِيعَ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَٱلنَّامُوسَ إِلَى يُوحَنَّا تَنَبَّأُوا. ١٣ 13
For all the prophets and the law have been prophesying until John;
وَإِنْ أَرَدْتُمْ أَنْ تَقْبَلُوا، فَهَذَا هُوَ إِيلِيَّا ٱلْمُزْمِعُ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ. ١٤ 14
and if you are willing to accept it, he is Elijah who was to come.
مَنْ لَهُ أُذُنَانِ لِلسَّمْعِ فَلْيَسْمَعْ. ١٥ 15
He who has ears to hear, let him listen.
«وَبِمَنْ أُشَبِّهُ هَذَا ٱلْجِيلَ؟ يُشْبِهُ أَوْلَادًا جَالِسِينَ فِي ٱلْأَسْوَاقِ يُنَادُونَ إِلَى أَصْحَابِهِمْ ١٦ 16
To what should I compare this generation? It is like children playing in the marketplace, who sit and call to one another
وَيَقُولُونَ: زَمَّرْنَا لَكُمْ فَلَمْ تَرْقُصُوا! نُحْنَا لَكُمْ فَلَمْ تَلْطِمُوا! ١٧ 17
and say, 'We played a flute for you, and you did not dance. We mourned, and you did not weep.'
لِأَنَّهُ جَاءَ يُوحَنَّا لَا يَأْكُلُ وَلَا يَشْرَبُ، فَيَقُولُونَ: فِيهِ شَيْطَانٌ. ١٨ 18
For John came not eating bread or drinking wine, 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, 'Look, he is a gluttonous man and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!' But wisdom is justified by her deeds.”
حِينَئِذٍ ٱبْتَدَأَ يُوَبِّخُ ٱلْمُدُنَ ٱلَّتِي صُنِعَتْ فِيهَا أَكْثَرُ قُوَّاتِهِ لِأَنَّهَا لَمْ تَتُبْ: ٢٠ 20
Then Jesus began to rebuke the cities in which most of his mighty deeds were done, because they had not repented.
«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! If the mighty deeds had been done in Tyre and Sidon which were done in you, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
وَلَكِنْ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ صُورَ وَصَيْدَاءَ تَكُونُ لَهُمَا حَالَةٌ أَكْثَرُ ٱحْتِمَالًا يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ مِمَّا لَكُمَا. ٢٢ 22
But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at 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
You, Capernaum, do you think you will be exalted to heaven? No, you will be brought down to Hades. For if in Sodom there had been done the mighty deeds that were done in you, it would still have remained until today. (Hadēs g86)
وَلَكِنْ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ أَرْضَ سَدُومَ تَكُونُ لَهَا حَالَةٌ أَكْثَرُ ٱحْتِمَالًا يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ مِمَّا لَكِ». ٢٤ 24
But I say to you that it shall be easier for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment than for 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 said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you concealed these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to little children.
نَعَمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْآبُ، لِأَنْ هَكَذَا صَارَتِ ٱلْمَسَرَّةُ أَمَامَكَ. ٢٦ 26
Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight.
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 have been entrusted to me from my Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father and no one knows the Father except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.
تَعَالَوْا إِلَيَّ يا جَمِيعَ ٱلْمُتْعَبِينَ وَٱلثَّقِيلِي ٱلْأَحْمَالِ، وَأَنَا أُرِيحُكُمْ. ٢٨ 28
Come to me, all you who labor and are heavy burdened, and I will give you rest.
اِحْمِلُوا نِيرِي عَلَيْكُمْ وَتَعَلَّمُوا مِنِّي، لِأَنِّي وَدِيعٌ وَمُتَوَاضِعُ ٱلْقَلْبِ، فَتَجِدُوا رَاحَةً لِنُفُوسِكُمْ. ٢٩ 29
Take my yoke on you and learn from me, for I am meek and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
لِأَنَّ نِيرِي هَيِّنٌ وَحِمْلِي خَفِيفٌ». ٣٠ 30
For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
