< مَتَّى 13 >

فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ خَرَجَ يَسُوعُ مِنَ ٱلْبَيْتِ وَجَلَسَ عِنْدَ ٱلْبَحْرِ، ١ 1
On that same day, after Jesus had left the house, he took his seat on the seashore;
فَٱجْتَمَعَ إِلَيْهِ جُمُوعٌ كَثِيرَةٌ، حَتَّى إِنَّهُ دَخَلَ ٱلسَّفِينَةَ وَجَلَسَ. وَٱلْجَمْعُ كُلُّهُ وَقَفَ عَلَى ٱلشَّاطِئِ. ٢ 2
and such a great crowd gathered about him that he got into a boat and sat in it, while all the crowd stood on the beach.
فَكَلَّمَهُمْ كَثِيرًا بِأَمْثَالٍ قَائِلًا: «هُوَذَا ٱلزَّارِعُ قَدْ خَرَجَ لِيَزْرَعَ، ٣ 3
Then he told them many truths in parables. "Behold," he said, "the sower went forth to sow;
وَفِيمَا هُوَ يَزْرَعُ سَقَطَ بَعْضٌ عَلَى ٱلطَّرِيقِ، فَجَاءَتِ ٱلطُّيُورُ وَأَكَلَتْهُ. ٤ 4
and as he sowed, some seed fell by the roadside, and the birds came and ate it.
وَسَقَطَ آخَرُ عَلَى ٱلْأَمَاكِنِ ٱلْمُحْجِرَةِ، حَيْثُ لَمْ تَكُنْ لَهُ تُرْبَةٌ كَثِيرَةٌ، فَنَبَتَ حَالًا إِذْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ عُمْقُ أَرْضٍ. ٥ 5
Some fell on rocky ground where there was not much earth. Now because it had no depth of soil, it sprang up at once;
وَلَكِنْ لَمَّا أَشْرَقَتِ ٱلشَّمْسُ ٱحْتَرَقَ، وَإِذْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ أَصْلٌ جَفَّ. ٦ 6
but when the sun rose it was scorched, and withered away because it had no root.
وَسَقَطَ آخَرُ عَلَى ٱلشَّوْكِ، فَطَلَعَ ٱلشَّوْكُ وَخَنَقَهُ. ٧ 7
Some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up and choked it.
وَسَقَطَ آخَرُ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلْجَيِّدَةِ فَأَعْطَى ثَمَرًا، بَعْضٌ مِئَةً وَآخَرُ سِتِّينَ وَآخَرُ ثَلَاثِينَ. ٨ 8
But some fell on good soil, and bore a crop, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
مَنْ لَهُ أُذُنَانِ لِلسَّمْعِ، فَلْيَسْمَعْ». ٩ 9
He who has ears, let him hear!"
فَتَقَدَّمَ ٱلتَّلَامِيذُ وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «لِمَاذَا تُكَلِّمُهُمْ بِأَمْثَالٍ؟». ١٠ 10
Now when his disciples came up to him, they said,
فَأَجَابَ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ أُعْطِيَ لَكُمْ أَنْ تَعْرِفُوا أَسْرَارَ مَلَكُوتِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ، وَأَمَّا لِأُولَئِكَ فَلَمْ يُعْطَ. ١١ 11
"Why do you speak to them in parables?" Jesus answered. "To you it has been granted to understand the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven; but to them it has not been granted.
فَإِنَّ مَنْ لَهُ سَيُعْطَى وَيُزَادُ، وَأَمَّا مَنْ لَيْسَ لَهُ فَٱلَّذِي عِنْدَهُ سَيُؤْخَذُ مِنْهُ. ١٢ 12
"For whoever holds, to him shall more be given, and he shall have abundance; but whoever does not hold, from him shall be taken away even what he holds.
مِنْ أَجْلِ هَذَا أُكَلِّمُهُمْ بِأَمْثَالٍ، لِأَنَّهُمْ مُبْصِرِينَ لَا يُبْصِرُونَ، وَسَامِعِينَ لَا يَسْمَعُونَ وَلَا يَفْهَمُونَ. ١٣ 13
"This is why I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.
فَقَدْ تَمَّتْ فِيهِمْ نُبُوَّةُ إِشَعْيَاءَ ٱلْقَائِلَةُ: تَسْمَعُونَ سَمْعًا وَلَا تَفْهَمُونَ، وَمُبْصِرِينَ تُبْصِرُونَ وَلَا تَنْظُرُونَ. ١٤ 14
And in them is being fulfilled that prophecy of Isaiah which says. "Hearing you will hear and not understand; Seeing you will see and not perceive;
لِأَنَّ قَلْبَ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ قَدْ غَلُظَ، وَآذَانَهُمْ قَدْ ثَقُلَ سَمَاعُهَا. وَغَمَّضُوا عُيُونَهُمْ، لِئَلَّا يُبْصِرُوا بِعُيُونِهِمْ، وَيَسْمَعُوا بِآذَانِهِمْ، وَيَفْهَمُوا بِقُلُوبِهِمْ، وَيَرْجِعُوا فَأَشْفِيَهُمْ. ١٥ 15
For the heart of his people is made fat, Their ears are dull of hearing; Their eyes, too, have they closed, Lest some day their eyes should perceive, And their ears should hear, And their heart should understand and turn, And I should heal them.
وَلَكِنْ طُوبَى لِعُيُونِكُمْ لِأَنَّهَا تُبْصِرُ، وَلِآذَانِكُمْ لِأَنَّهَا تَسْمَعُ. ١٦ 16
"But happy are your eyes, because they see, and your ears because they hear.
فَإِنِّي ٱلْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ أَنْبِيَاءَ وَأَبْرَارًا كَثِيرِينَ ٱشْتَهَوْا أَنْ يَرَوْا مَا أَنْتُمْ تَرَوْنَ وَلَمْ يَرَوْا، وَأَنْ يَسْمَعُوا مَا أَنْتُمْ تَسْمَعُونَ وَلَمْ يَسْمَعُوا. ١٧ 17
"In solemn truth I tell you that many prophets and holy men have seen it not, and to hear what you are hearing, and have not heard it.
«فَٱسْمَعُوا أَنْتُمْ مَثَلَ ٱلزَّارِعِ: ١٨ 18
"Listen then, to the parable of the sower.
كُلُّ مَنْ يَسْمَعُ كَلِمَةَ ٱلْمَلَكُوتِ وَلَا يَفْهَمُ، فَيَأْتِي ٱلشِّرِّيرُ وَيَخْطَفُ مَا قَدْ زُرِعَ فِي قَلْبِهِ. هَذَا هُوَ ٱلْمَزْرُوعُ عَلَى ٱلطَّرِيقِ. ١٩ 19
"Whenever any one hears the message of the kingdom, and does not understand it, the Evil One comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart.
وَٱلْمَزْرُوعُ عَلَى ٱلْأَمَاكِنِ ٱلْمُحْجِرَةِ هُوَ ٱلَّذِي يَسْمَعُ ٱلْكَلِمَةَ، وَحَالًا يَقْبَلُهَا بِفَرَحٍ، ٢٠ 20
"This is the seed sown by the wayside. And the word, and at once receives it with joy.
وَلَكِنْ لَيْسَ لَهُ أَصْلٌ فِي ذَاتِهِ، بَلْ هُوَ إِلَى حِينٍ. فَإِذَا حَدَثَ ضِيقٌ أَوِ ٱضْطِهَادٌ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلْكَلِمَةِ فَحَالًا يَعْثُرُ. ٢١ 21
"But he has no root in himself; he continues for a time, but when trouble arises, or persecutions, on account of the word, at once he stumbles and falls.
وَٱلْمَزْرُوعُ بَيْنَ ٱلشَّوْكِ هُوَ ٱلَّذِي يَسْمَعُ ٱلْكَلِمَةَ، وَهَمُّ هَذَا ٱلْعَالَمِ وَغُرُورُ ٱلْغِنَى يَخْنُقَانِ ٱلْكَلِمَةَ فَيَصِيرُ بِلَا ثَمَرٍ. (aiōn g165) ٢٢ 22
"And the seed sown among thorns is he who hears the word, but the anxieties of the age and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
وَأَمَّا ٱلْمَزْرُوعُ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلْجَيِّدَةِ فَهُوَ ٱلَّذِي يَسْمَعُ ٱلْكَلِمَةَ وَيَفْهَمُ. وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِي يَأْتِي بِثَمَرٍ، فَيَصْنَعُ بَعْضٌ مِئَةً وَآخَرُ سِتِّينَ وَآخَرُ ثَلَاثِينَ». ٢٣ 23
"But the seed sown in good soil is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit, and makes now an hundredfold, now sixty, now thirty."
قَدَّمَ لَهُمْ مَثَلًا آخَرَ قَائِلًا: «يُشْبِهُ مَلَكُوتُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ إِنْسَانًا زَرَعَ زَرْعًا جَيِّدًا فِي حَقْلِهِ. ٢٤ 24
He told them another parable. "The kingdom of heaven," he said, "is like a man who sowed good seed in his field;
وَفِيمَا ٱلنَّاسُ نِيَامٌ جَاءَ عَدُوُّهُ وَزَرَعَ زَوَانًا فِي وَسْطِ ٱلْحِنْطَةِ وَمَضَى. ٢٥ 25
"but while men were asleep his enemy came and sowed tares among his wheat and went away.
فَلَمَّا طَلَعَ ٱلنَّبَاتُ وَصَنَعَ ثَمَرًا، حِينَئِذٍ ظَهَرَ ٱلزَّوَانُ أَيْضًا. ٢٦ 26
"And when the blade shot up and formed the wheat-kernel, then the tares also appeared.
فَجَاءَ عَبِيدُ رَبِّ ٱلْبَيْتِ وَقَالُوا لَهُ: يَا سَيِّدُ، أَلَيْسَ زَرْعًا جَيِّدًا زَرَعْتَ فِي حَقْلِكَ؟ فَمِنْ أَيْنَ لَهُ زَوَانٌ؟. ٢٧ 27
"The slaves of the owner went to him and said. "‘Was it not good seed, sir, that you sowed in your field? From whence then, do you get tares?’
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: إِنْسَانٌ عَدُوٌّ فَعَلَ هَذَا. فَقَالَ لَهُ ٱلْعَبِيدُ: أَتُرِيدُ أَنْ نَذْهَبَ وَنَجْمَعَهُ؟ ٢٨ 28
"‘It is an enemy who has done this,’ he answered. "The slaves said to him, ‘Do you want us to go and collect them?’
فَقَالَ: لَا! لِئَلَّا تَقْلَعُوا ٱلْحِنْطَةَ مَعَ ٱلزَّوَانِ وَأَنْتُمْ تَجْمَعُونَهُ. ٢٩ 29
"‘No,’ he answered, ‘for fear lest while you are collecting the tares, you at the same time pull up the wheat.
دَعُوهُمَا يَنْمِيَانِ كِلَاهُمَا مَعًا إِلَى ٱلْحَصَادِ، وَفِي وَقْتِ ٱلْحَصَادِ أَقُولُ لِلْحَصَّادِينَ: ٱجْمَعُوا أَوَّلًا ٱلزَّوَانَ وَٱحْزِمُوهُ حُزَمًا لِيُحْرَقَ، وَأَمَّا ٱلْحِنْطَةَ فَٱجْمَعُوهَا إِلَى مَخْزَنِي». ٣٠ 30
"Let both grow together until harvest, and at harvest-time I will tell the reapers to first gather the tares and tie them in bundles for burning, but to bring all the wheat into my store-house.’"
قَدَّمَ لَهُمْ مَثَلًا آخَرَ قَائِلًا: «يُشْبِهُ مَلَكُوتُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ حَبَّةَ خَرْدَلٍ أَخَذَهَا إِنْسَانٌ وَزَرَعَهَا فِي حَقْلِهِ، ٣١ 31
He set forth to them another parable, saying. "The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard-seed which a man took and planted in his field.
وَهِيَ أَصْغَرُ جَمِيعِ ٱلْبُزُورِ. وَلَكِنْ مَتَى نَمَتْ فَهِيَ أَكْبَرُ ٱلْبُقُولِ، وَتَصِيرُ شَجَرَةً، حَتَّى إِنَّ طُيُورَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ تَأْتِي وَتَتَآوَى فِي أَغْصَانِهَا». ٣٢ 32
"This is indeed the smallest of seeds, but when it is grown it is greater than any herb, and becomes a tree, so that the winged things of the sky come and roost in its branches."
قَالَ لَهُمْ مَثَلًا آخَرَ: «يُشْبِهُ مَلَكُوتُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ خَمِيرَةً أَخَذَتْهَا ٱمْرَأَةٌ وَخَبَّأَتْهَا فِي ثَلَاثَةِ أَكْيَالِ دَقِيقٍ حَتَّى ٱخْتَمَرَ ٱلْجَمِيعُ». ٣٣ 33
He told them another parable. He said, "The kingdom of heaven is like leaven which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, until the whole was leavened."
هَذَا كُلُّهُ كَلَّمَ بِهِ يَسُوعُ ٱلْجُمُوعَ بِأَمْثَالٍ، وَبِدُونِ مَثَلٍ لَمْ يَكُنْ يُكَلِّمُهُمْ، ٣٤ 34
Jesus told all this to the crowd in parables; indeed he never spoke to them except in parables,
لِكَيْ يَتِمَّ مَا قِيلَ بِٱلنَّبِيِّ ٱلْقَائِلِ: «سَأَفْتَحُ بِأَمْثَالٍ فَمِي، وَأَنْطِقُ بِمَكْتُومَاتٍ مُنْذُ تَأْسِيسِ ٱلْعَالَمِ». ٣٥ 35
in fulfilment of the word spoken by the prophet, I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter things kept secret since the foundation of the world."
حِينَئِذٍ صَرَفَ يَسُوعُ ٱلْجُمُوعَ وَجَاءَ إِلَى ٱلْبَيْتِ. فَتَقَدَّمَ إِلَيْهِ تَلَامِيذُهُ قَائِلِينَ: «فَسِّرْ لَنَا مَثَلَ زَوَانِ ٱلْحَقْلِ». ٣٦ 36
After he had sent the people away and gone into the house, his disciples came to him and said, "Explain to us the parable about the weeds in the field."
فَأَجَابَ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «اَلزَّارِعُ ٱلزَّرْعَ ٱلْجَيِّدَ هُوَ ٱبْنُ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ. ٣٧ 37
"The sower of the seed," he answered, "is the Son of man;
وَٱلْحَقْلُ هُوَ ٱلْعَالَمُ. وَٱلزَّرْعُ ٱلْجَيِّدُ هُوَ بَنُو ٱلْمَلَكُوتِ. وَٱلزَّوَانُ هُوَ بَنُو ٱلشِّرِّيرِ. ٣٨ 38
"the field is the world; the good seed is the sons of the kingdom; the weeds, the sons of the Evil One.
وَٱلْعَدُوُّ ٱلَّذِي زَرَعَهُ هُوَ إِبْلِيسُ. وَٱلْحَصَادُ هُوَ ٱنْقِضَاءُ ٱلْعَالَمِ. وَٱلْحَصَّادُونَ هُمُ ٱلْمَلَائِكَةُ. (aiōn g165) ٣٩ 39
"The enemy who sows the weeds is the Devil. The harvest is the end of the age. The reapers are the angels. (aiōn g165)
فَكَمَا يُجْمَعُ ٱلزَّوَانُ وَيُحْرَقُ بِٱلنَّارِ، هَكَذَا يَكُونُ فِي ٱنْقِضَاءِ هَذَا ٱلْعَالَمِ: (aiōn g165) ٤٠ 40
"Just as the weeds are collected together and burnt with fire, so will it be at the end of the age. (aiōn g165)
يُرْسِلُ ٱبْنُ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ مَلَائِكَتَهُ فَيَجْمَعُونَ مِنْ مَلَكُوتِهِ جَمِيعَ ٱلْمَعَاثِرِ وَفَاعِلِي ٱلْإِثْمِ، ٤١ 41
"The son of man will send forth his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all hindrances, and whoever practises iniquity,
وَيَطْرَحُونَهُمْ فِي أَتُونِ ٱلنَّارِ. هُنَاكَ يَكُونُ ٱلْبُكَاءُ وَصَرِيرُ ٱلْأَسْنَانِ. ٤٢ 42
"and will throw them into the fiery furnace. There will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
حِينَئِذٍ يُضِيءُ ٱلْأَبْرَارُ كَٱلشَّمْسِ فِي مَلَكُوتِ أَبِيهِمْ. مَنْ لَهُ أُذُنَانِ لِلسَّمْعِ، فَلْيَسْمَعْ. ٤٣ 43
"And then shall the just shine forth like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Let him who has ears to hear, listen!
«أَيْضًا يُشْبِهُ مَلَكُوتُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ كَنْزًا مُخْفًى فِي حَقْلٍ، وَجَدَهُ إِنْسَانٌ فَأَخْفَاهُ. وَمِنْ فَرَحِهِ مَضَى وَبَاعَ كُلَّ مَا كَانَ لَهُ وَٱشْتَرَى ذَلِكَ ٱلْحَقْلَ. ٤٤ 44
"The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure buried in the ground, which a man finds but buries again, and then in his joy goes and sells all that he has and buys that land.
أَيْضًا يُشْبِهُ مَلَكُوتُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ إِنْسَانًا تَاجِرًا يَطْلُبُ لَآلِئَ حَسَنَةً، ٤٥ 45
"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of beautiful pearls.
فَلَمَّا وَجَدَ لُؤْلُؤَةً وَاحِدَةً كَثِيرَةَ ٱلثَّمَنِ، مَضَى وَبَاعَ كُلَّ مَا كَانَ لَهُ وَٱشْتَرَاهَا. ٤٦ 46
"When he finds one of great price, he goes and sells everything he has and buys it.
أَيْضًا يُشْبِهُ مَلَكُوتُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ شَبَكَةً مَطْرُوحَةً فِي ٱلْبَحْرِ، وَجَامِعَةً مِنْ كُلِّ نَوْعٍ. ٤٧ 47
"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was cast into the sea and gathered fish of every kind.
فَلَمَّا ٱمْتَلَأَتْ أَصْعَدُوهَا عَلَى ٱلشَّاطِئِ، وَجَلَسُوا وَجَمَعُوا ٱلْجِيَادَ إِلَى أَوْعِيَةٍ، وَأَمَّا ٱلْأَرْدِيَاءُ فَطَرَحُوهَا خَارِجًا. ٤٨ 48
"When it was full they hauled it upon the beach, and sat down and sorted the good fish into baskets, but threw the worthless fish away.
هَكَذَا يَكُونُ فِي ٱنْقِضَاءِ ٱلْعَالَمِ: يَخْرُجُ ٱلْمَلَائِكَةُ وَيُفْرِزُونَ ٱلْأَشْرَارَ مِنْ بَيْنِ ٱلْأَبْرَارِ، (aiōn g165) ٤٩ 49
"So will it be at the end of the age. The angels will go forth and separate the wicked from the righteous, and fling them into the furnace of fire. (aiōn g165)
وَيَطْرَحُونَهُمْ فِي أَتُونِ ٱلنَّارِ. هُنَاكَ يَكُونُ ٱلْبُكَاءُ وَصَرِيرُ ٱلْأَسْنَانِ». ٥٠ 50
"There shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
قَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «أَفَهِمْتُمْ هَذَا كُلَّهُ؟». فَقَالُوا: «نَعَمْ، يا سَيِّدُ». ٥١ 51
"Have you understood all this?" he asked. "We have," they answered him.
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ كُلُّ كَاتِبٍ مُتَعَلِّمٍ فِي مَلَكُوتِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ يُشْبِهُ رَجُلًا رَبَّ بَيْتٍ يُخْرِجُ مِنْ كَنْزِهِ جُدُدًا وَعُتَقَاءَ». ٥٢ 52
"Then," said he, "every scribe who has been instructed in the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who brings out of his storehouse new things and old."
وَلَمَّا أَكْمَلَ يَسُوعُ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَمْثَالَ ٱنْتَقَلَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ. ٥٣ 53
After Jesus had finished these parables, he withdrew from that place,
وَلَمَّا جَاءَ إِلَى وَطَنِهِ كَانَ يُعَلِّمُهُمْ فِي مَجْمَعِهِمْ حَتَّى بُهِتُوا وَقَالُوا: «مِنْ أَيْنَ لِهَذَا هَذِهِ ٱلْحِكْمَةُ وَٱلْقُوَّاتُ؟ ٥٤ 54
and came into his own country, where he continued teaching the people in their synagogues, until they were amazed. "Where did he get such wisdom?" they said, "and such wondrous powers?
أَلَيْسَ هَذَا ٱبْنَ ٱلنَّجَّارِ؟ أَلَيْسَتْ أُمُّهُ تُدْعَى مَرْيَمَ، وَإِخْوَتُهُ يَعْقُوبَ وَيُوسِي وَسِمْعَانَ وَيَهُوذَا؟ ٥٥ 55
"Is not this the carpenter’s son? Is not his mother called Mary? and his brothers Jamesand Joseph and Simon and Judas?
أَوَلَيْسَتْ أَخَوَاتُهُ جَمِيعُهُنَّ عِنْدَنَا؟ فَمِنْ أَيْنَ لِهَذَا هَذِهِ كُلُّهَا؟». ٥٦ 56
"Are not his sisters all living among us? Where, then, did he get all these powers?"
فَكَانُوا يَعْثُرُونَ بِهِ. وَأَمَّا يَسُوعُ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «لَيْسَ نَبِيٌّ بِلَا كَرَامَةٍ إِلَّا فِي وَطَنِهِ وَفِي بَيْتِهِ». ٥٧ 57
This kept them from believing in him. Wherefore Jesus said, "A prophet is not without honor except in his own country and among his own family."
وَلَمْ يَصْنَعْ هُنَاكَ قُوَّاتٍ كَثِيرَةً لِعَدَمِ إِيمَانِهِمْ. ٥٨ 58
And he did no mighty works there, because of their lack of faith.
