مَتَّى 20

١ 1 «فَإِنَّ مَلَكُوتَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ يُشْبِهُ رَجُلًا رَبَّ بَيْتٍ خَرَجَ مَعَ ٱلصُّبْحِ لِيَسْتَأْجِرَ فَعَلَةً لِكَرْمِهِ،

For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard.

٢ 2 فَٱتَّفَقَ مَعَ ٱلْفَعَلَةِ عَلَى دِينَارٍ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ، وَأَرْسَلَهُمْ إِلَى كَرْمِهِ.

After he had agreed with the workers for one denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard.

٣ 3 ثُمَّ خَرَجَ نَحْوَ ٱلسَّاعَةِ ٱلثَّالِثَةِ وَرَأَى آخَرِينَ قِيَامًا فِي ٱلسُّوقِ بَطَّالِينَ،

He went out again about the third hour and saw other workers standing idle in the marketplace.

٤ 4 فَقَالَ لَهُمُ: ٱذْهَبُوا أَنْتُمْ أَيْضًا إِلَى ٱلْكَرْمِ فَأُعْطِيَكُمْ مَا يَحِقُّ لَكُمْ. فَمَضَوْا.

To them he said, 'You also, go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.' So they went to work.

٥ 5 وَخَرَجَ أَيْضًا نَحْوَ ٱلسَّاعَةِ ٱلسَّادِسَةِ وَٱلتَّاسِعَةِ وَفَعَلَ كَذَلِكَ.

Again he went out about the sixth hour and again the ninth hour, and did the same.

٦ 6 ثُمَّ نَحْوَ ٱلسَّاعَةِ ٱلْحَادِيَةَ عَشْرَةَ خَرَجَ وَوَجَدَ آخَرِينَ قِيَامًا بَطَّالِينَ، فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: لِمَاذَا وَقَفْتُمْ هَهُنَا كُلَّ ٱلنَّهَارِ بَطَّالِينَ؟

Once more about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing idle. He said to them, 'Why do you stand here idle all the day long?'

٧ 7 قَالُوا لَهُ: لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَسْتَأْجِرْنَا أَحَدٌ. قَالَ لَهُمُ: ٱذْهَبُوا أَنْتُمْ أَيْضًا إِلَى ٱلْكَرْمِ فَتَأْخُذُوا مَا يَحِقُّ لَكُمْ.

They said to him, 'Because no one has hired us.' He said to them, 'You also go into the vineyard.'

٨ 8 فَلَمَّا كَانَ ٱلْمَسَاءُ قَالَ صَاحِبُ ٱلْكَرْمِ لِوَكِيلِهِ: ٱدْعُ ٱلْفَعَلَةَ وَأَعْطِهِمُ ٱلْأُجْرَةَ مُبْتَدِئًا مِنَ ٱلْآخِرِينَ إِلَى ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ.

When evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his manager, 'Call the workers and pay them their wages, beginning from the last to the first.'

٩ 9 فَجَاءَ أَصْحَابُ ٱلسَّاعَةِ ٱلْحَادِيَةَ عَشْرَةَ وَأَخَذُوا دِينَارًا دِينَارًا.

When the workers who had been hired at the eleventh hour came, each of them received a denarius.

١٠ 10 فَلَمَّا جَاءَ ٱلْأَوَّلُونَ ظَنُّوا أَنَّهُمْ يَأْخُذُونَ أَكْثَرَ. فَأَخَذُوا هُمْ أَيْضًا دِينَارًا دِينَارًا.

When the first workers came, they thought that they would receive more, but they also received one denarius each.

١١ 11 وَفِيمَا هُمْ يَأْخُذُونَ تَذَمَّرُوا عَلَى رَبِّ ٱلْبَيْتِ

When they received their wages, they complained about the landowner.

١٢ 12 قَائِلِينَ: هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلْآخِرُونَ عَمِلُوا سَاعَةً وَاحِدَةً، وَقَدْ سَاوَيْتَهُمْ بِنَا نَحْنُ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱحْتَمَلْنَا ثِقَلَ ٱلنَّهَارِ وَٱلْحَرَّ!

They said, 'These last workers have spent only one hour in work, but you have made them equal to us, we who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat.'

١٣ 13 فَأجَابَ وَقَالَ لِوَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ: يا صَاحِبُ، مَا ظَلَمْتُكَ! أَمَا اتَّفَقْتَ مَعِي عَلَى دِينَارٍ؟

But the owner answered and said to one of them, 'Friend, I do you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for one denarius?

١٤ 14 فَخُذِ ٱلَّذِي لَكَ وَٱذْهَبْ، فَإِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أُعْطِيَ هَذَا ٱلْأَخِيرَ مِثْلَكَ.

Take what belongs to you and go your way. I choose to give to these last hired workers just the same as to you.

١٥ 15 أَوَ مَا يَحِلُّ لِي أَنْ أَفْعَلَ مَا أُرِيدُ بِمَا لِي؟ أَمْ عَيْنُكَ شِرِّيرَةٌ لِأَنِّي أَنَا صَالِحٌ؟

Do I not have the right to do as I want with what belongs to me? Or are you envious because I am generous?'

١٦ 16 هَكَذَا يَكُونُ ٱلْآخِرُونَ أَوَّلِينَ وَٱلْأَوَّلُونَ آخِرِينَ، لِأَنَّ كَثِيرِينَ يُدْعَوْنَ وَقَلِيلِينَ يُنْتَخَبُونَ».

So the last will be first, and the first last.”

١٧ 17 وَفِيمَا كَانَ يَسُوعُ صَاعِدًا إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ أَخَذَ ٱلِٱثْنَيْ عَشَرَ تِلْمِيذًا عَلَى ٱنْفِرَادٍ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ:

As Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve aside, and on the way he said to them,

١٨ 18 «هَا نَحْنُ صَاعِدُونَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَٱبْنُ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ يُسَلَّمُ إِلَى رُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَٱلْكَتَبَةِ، فَيَحْكُمُونَ عَلَيْهِ بِٱلْمَوْتِ،

“See, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and scribes. They will condemn him to death

١٩ 19 وَيُسَلِّمُونَهُ إِلَى ٱلْأُمَمِ لِكَيْ يَهْزَأُوا بِهِ وَيَجْلِدُوهُ وَيَصْلِبُوهُ، وَفِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّالِثِ يَقُومُ».

and will deliver him to the Gentiles for them to mock, to flog, and to crucify him. But on the third day he will be raised up.”

٢٠ 20 حِينَئِذٍ تَقَدَّمَتْ إِلَيْهِ أُمُّ ٱبْنَيْ زَبْدِي مَعَ ٱبْنَيْهَا، وَسَجَدَتْ وَطَلَبَتْ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا.

Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to Jesus with her sons. She bowed down before him and asked for something from him.

٢١ 21 فَقَالَ لَهَا: «مَاذَا تُرِيدِينَ؟». قَالَتْ لَهُ: «قُلْ أَنْ يَجْلِسَ ٱبْنَايَ هَذَانِ وَاحِدٌ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ وَٱلْآخَرُ عَنِ ٱلْيَسَارِ فِي مَلَكُوتِكَ».

Jesus said to her, “What do you wish?” She said to him, “Command that these my two sons may sit, one at your right hand and one at your left hand, in your kingdom.”

٢٢ 22 فَأَجَابَ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ: «لَسْتُمَا تَعْلَمَانِ مَا تَطْلُبَانِ. أَتَسْتَطِيعَانِ أَنْ تَشْرَبَا ٱلْكَأْسَ ٱلَّتِي سَوْفَ أَشْرَبُهَا أَنَا، وَأَنْ تَصْطَبِغَا بِٱلصِّبْغَةِ ٱلَّتِي أَصْطَبِغُ بِهَا أَنَا؟». قَالَا لَهُ: «نَسْتَطِيعُ».

But Jesus answered and said, “You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink?” They said to him, “We are able.”

٢٣ 23 فَقَالَ لَهُمَا: «أَمَّا كَأْسِي فَتَشْرَبَانِهَا، وَبِالصِّبْغَةِ ٱلَّتِي أَصْطَبِغُ بِهَا أَنَا تَصْطَبِغَانِ. وَأَمَّا ٱلْجُلُوسُ عَنْ يَمِينِي وَعَنْ يَسَارِي فَلَيْسَ لِي أَنْ أُعْطِيَهُ إِلَّا لِلَّذِينَ أُعِدَّ لَهُمْ مِنْ أَبِي».

He said to them, “My cup you will indeed drink. But to sit at my right hand and at my left hand is not mine to give, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father.”

٢٤ 24 فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ ٱلْعَشَرَةُ ٱغْتَاظُوا مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلْأَخَوَيْنِ.

When the other ten disciples heard this, they were very angry with the two brothers.

٢٥ 25 فَدَعَاهُمْ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ: «أَنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ رُؤَسَاءَ ٱلْأُمَمِ يَسُودُونَهُمْ، وَٱلْعُظَمَاءَ يَتَسَلَّطُونَ عَلَيْهِمْ.

But Jesus called them to himself and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles subjugate them, and their important men exercise authority over them.

٢٦ 26 فَلَا يَكُونُ هَكَذَا فِيكُمْ. بَلْ مَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَكُونَ فِيكُمْ عَظِيمًا فَلْيَكُنْ لَكُمْ خَادِمًا،

But it must not be this way among you. Instead, whoever wishes to become great among you must be your servant,

٢٧ 27 وَمَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَكُونَ فِيكُمْ أَوَّلًا فَلْيَكُنْ لَكُمْ عَبْدًا،

and whoever wishes to be first among you must be your servant,

٢٨ 28 كَمَا أَنَّ ٱبْنَ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ لَمْ يَأْتِ لِيُخْدَمَ بَلْ لِيَخْدِمَ، وَلِيَبْذِلَ نَفْسَهُ فِدْيَةً عَنْ كَثِيرِينَ».

just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

٢٩ 29 وَفِيمَا هُمْ خَارِجُونَ مِنْ أَرِيحَا تَبِعَهُ جَمْعٌ كَثِيرٌ،

As they went out from Jericho, a great crowd followed him.

٣٠ 30 وَإِذَا أَعْمَيَانِ جَالِسَانِ عَلَى ٱلطَّرِيقِ. فَلَمَّا سَمِعَا أَنَّ يَسُوعَ مُجْتَازٌ صَرَخَا قَائِلَيْنِ: «ٱرْحَمْنَا ياسَيِّدُ، يا ٱبْنَ دَاوُدَ!».

There were two blind men sitting by the road. When they heard that Jesus was passing by, they shouted, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us.”

٣١ 31 فَٱنْتَهَرَهُمَا ٱلْجَمْعُ لِيَسْكُتَا، فَكَانَا يَصْرُخَانِ أَكْثَرَ قَائِلَيْنِ: «ٱرْحَمْنَا ياسَيِّدُ، يا ٱبْنَ دَاوُدَ!».

The crowd rebuked them, telling them to be quiet, but they cried out even more loudly, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us.”

٣٢ 32 فَوَقَفَ يَسُوعُ وَنَادَاهُمَا وَقَالَ: «مَاذَا تُرِيدَانِ أَنْ أَفْعَلَ بِكُمَا؟».

Then Jesus stood still and called to them and said, “What do you wish me to do for you?”

٣٣ 33 قَالَا لَهُ: «يَا سَيِّدُ، أَنْ تَنْفَتِحَ أَعْيُنُنَا!».

They said to him, “Lord, that our eyes may be opened.”

٣٤ 34 فَتَحَنَّنَ يَسُوعُ وَلَمَسَ أَعْيُنَهُمَا، فَلِلْوَقْتِ أَبْصَرَتْ أَعْيُنُهُمَا فَتَبِعَاهُ.

Then Jesus, being moved with compassion, touched their eyes. Immediately they received their sight and followed him.
