< لُوقا 12 >

وَفِي تِلْكَ الأَثْنَاءِ، إِذِ احْتَشَدَ عَشَرَاتُ الأُلُوفِ مِنَ الشَّعْبِ حَتَّى دَاسَ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضاً، أَخَذَ يَقُولُ لِتَلاَمِيذِهِ أَوَّلاً: «احْذَرُوا لأَنْفُسِكُمْ مِنْ خَمِيرِ الْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ الَّذِي هُوَ النِّفَاقُ! ١ 1
And when great multitudes were assembled by myriads, so that they trod one upon another, Jesus began to say to his disciples: First of all, beware for yourselves of that leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
فَمَا مِنْ مَسْتُورٍ لَنْ يُكْشَفَ، وَلاَ مِنْ سِرٍّ لَنْ يُعْرَفَ. ٢ 2
For there is nothing hidden, which will not be revealed; nor concealed, that will not be known.
لِذَلِكَ كُلُّ مَا قُلْتُمُوهُ فِي الظَّلاَمِ سَوْفَ يُسْمَعُ فِي النُّورِ، وَمَا تَحَدَّثْتُمْ بِهِ هَمْساً فِي الْغُرَفِ الدَّاخِلِيَّةِ سَوْفَ يُذَاعُ عَلَى سُطُوحِ الْبُيُوتِ. ٣ 3
For whatever ye speak in the dark, will be heard in the light; and what in secret chambers, ye whisper in the ear, will be proclaimed on the house-tops.
عَلَى أَنِّي أَقُولُ لَكُمْ يَاأَحِبَّائِي: لاَ تَخَافُوا مِنَ الَّذِينَ يَقْتُلُونَ الْجَسَدَ ثُمَّ لاَ يَسْتَطِيعُونَ أَنْ يَفْعَلُوا أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذلِكَ. ٤ 4
And to you, my friends, I say: Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and afterwards have nothing more they can do.
وَلكِنِّي أُرِيكُمْ مِمَّنْ تَخَافُونَ: خَافُوا مِنَ الْقَادِرِ أَنْ يُلْقِيَ فِي جَهَنَّمَ بَعْدَ الْقَتْلِ. نَعَمْ، أَقُولُ لَكُمْ، مِنْ هَذَا خَافُوا! (Geenna g1067) ٥ 5
But I will show you, of whom to be afraid: of him who, after he hath killed, hath authority to cast into hell. Yea, say I to you: be afraid of him. (Geenna g1067)
أَمَا تُبَاعُ خَمْسَةُ عَصَافِيرَ بِفَلْسَيْنِ؟ وَمَعَ ذلِكَ لاَ يَنْسَى اللهُ وَاحِداً مِنْهَا. ٦ 6
Are not five sparrows sold for two assarii? and not one of them is forgotten before God.
بَلْ إِنَّ شَعْرَ رُؤُوسِكُمْ كُلَّهُ مَعْدُودٌ. فَلاَ تَخَافُوا إِذَنْ، أَنْتُمْ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ عَصَافِيرَ كَثِيرَةٍ! ٧ 7
And as for you, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore; for ye are superior to many sparrows.
«وَلكِنْ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: كُلُّ مَنْ يَعْتَرِفُ بِي أَمَامَ النَّاسِ، يَعْتَرِفُ بِهِ ابْنُ الإِنْسَانِ أَيْضاً أَمَامَ مَلاَئِكَةِ اللهِ. ٨ 8
And I say to you, that every one that shall confess me before men, the Son of man will also confess him before the angels of God.
وَمَنْ أَنْكَرَنِي أَمَامَ النَّاسِ، يُنْكَرُ أَمَامَ مَلاَئِكَةِ اللهِ. ٩ 9
But he that shall deny me before men, shall himself be denied before the angels of God.
وَمَنْ قَالَ كَلِمَةً بِحَقِّ ابْنِ الإِنْسَانِ، يُغْفَرُ لَهُ. وَأَمَّا مَنْ ازْدَرَى بالرُّوحِ الْقُدُسِ، فَلَنْ يُغْفَرَ لَهُ! ١٠ 10
And every one that shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but he that shall reproach the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him.
وَعِنْدَمَا يُؤْتَى بِكُمْ لِلْمُثُولِ أَمَامَ الْمَجَامِعِ وَالْحُكَّامِ وَالسُّلْطَاتِ، فَلاَ تَهْتَمُّوا كَيْفَ أَوْ بِمَاذَا تَرُدُّونَ، وَلاَ بِمَا تَقُولُونَ! ١١ 11
And when they shall bring you into the synagogues, before chiefs and men in authority, be not anxious how ye shall make defence, or what ye shall say;
فَإِنَّ الرُّوحَ الْقُدُسَ سَيُلَقِّنُكُمْ فِي تِلْكَ السَّاعَةِ عَيْنِهَا مَا يَجِبُ أَنْ تَقُولُوا». ١٢ 12
for the Holy Spirit will, in that hour, instruct you what to say.
وَقَالَ لَهُ وَاحِدٌ مِنْ بَيْنِ الْجَمْعِ: «يَامُعَلِّمُ، قُلْ لأَخِي أَنْ يُقَاسِمَنِي الإِرْثَ!» ١٣ 13
And one of the assembly said to him: Teacher, tell my brother, to divide the inheritance with me.
وَلكِنَّهُ قَالَ لَهُ: «يَاإِنْسَانُ، مَنْ أَقَامَنِي عَلَيْكُمَا قَاضِياً أَوْ مُقَسِّماً؟» ١٤ 14
But Jesus said to him: Man, who established me a judge and distributor over you?
وَقَالَ لِلْجَمْعِ: «احْذَرُوا وَتَحَفَّظُوا مِنَ الطَّمَعِ. فَمَتَى كَانَ الإِنْسَانُ فِي سَعَةٍ، لاَ تَكُونُ حَيَاتُهُ فِي أَمْوَالِهِ». ١٥ 15
And he said to his disciples: Beware of all avarice, for life consisteth not in abundance of riches.
وَضَرَبَ لَهُمْ مَثَلاً، قَالَ «إِنْسَانٌ غَنِيٌّ أَنْتَجَتْ لَهُ أَرْضُهُ مَحَاصِيلَ وَافِرَةً. ١٦ 16
And he spoke to them a similitude: The land of a certain rich man brought forth produce in abundance.
فَفَكَّرَ فِي نَفْسِهِ قَائِلاً: مَاذَا أَعْمَلُ وَلَيْسَ عِنْدِي مَكَانٌ أَخْزِنُ فِيهِ مَحَاصِيلِي؟ ١٧ 17
And he considered with himself, and said: What shall I do; for I have not where I can store up my produce?
وَقَالَ: أَعْمَلُ هَذَا: أَهْدِمُ مَخَازِنِي وَأَبْنِي أَعْظَمَ مِنْهَا، وَهُنَاكَ أَخْزِنُ جَمِيعَ غِلاَلِي وَخَيْرَاتِي. ١٨ 18
And he said: This will I do; I will pull down my storehouses, and build them larger; and there will I store up all my corn and my good things:
وَأَقُولُ لِنَفْسِي: يَانَفْسُ، عِنْدَكِ خَيْرَاتٌ كَثِيرَةٌ مَخْزُونَةٌ لِسِنِينَ عَدِيدَةٍ، فَاسْتَرِيحِي وَكُلِي وَاشْرَبِي وَافْرَحِي! ١٩ 19
and I will say to my soul: My soul, thou hast good things in abundance, which are stored up for many years; take thy ease; eat, drink, and live in pleasure.
وَلكِنَّ اللهَ قَالَ لَهُ: يَاغَبِيُّ، هذِهِ اللَّيْلَةَ تُطْلَبُ نَفْسُكَ مِنْكَ، فَلِمَنْ يَبْقَى مَا أَعْدَدْتَهُ؟ ٢٠ 20
But God said to him: Thou void of reason! This night, thy soul will be required of thee; and to whom will belong these things provided by thee?
هَذِهِ هِيَ حَالَةُ مَنْ يَخْزِنُ الْكُنُوزَ لِنَفْسِهِ وَلاَ يَكُونُ غَنِيّاً عِنْدَ اللهِ!» ٢١ 21
Such is he that layeth up treasures for himself, and is not rich in God.
ثُمَّ قَالَ لِتَلاَمِيذِهِ: «لِهَذَا السَّبَبِ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: لاَ تَهْتَمُّوا لِحَيَاتِكُمْ بِمَا تَأْكُلُونَ، وَلاَ لأَجْسَادِكُمْ بِمَا تَكْتَسُونَ. ٢٢ 22
And he said to his disciples: Therefore I tell you, Be not anxious for your life, what ye shall eat; nor for your body, what ye shall put on.
إِنَّ الْحَيَاةَ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ مُجَرَّدِ طَعَامٍ، وَالْجَسَدَ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ مُجَرَّدِ كِسَاءٍ. ٢٣ 23
For the life is more important than food, and the body than raiment.
تَأَمَّلُوا الْغِرْبَانَ! فَهِيَ لاَ تَزْرَعُ وَلاَ تَحْصُدُ، وَلَيْسَ عِنْدَهَا مَخْزَنٌ وَلاَ مُسْتَوْدَعٌ، بَلْ يَعُولُهَا اللهُ. فَكَمْ أَنْتُمْ أَفْضَلُ كَثِيراً مِنَ الطُّيُورِ. ٢٤ 24
Consider the ravens, which sow not, nor reap, nor have cellars and storehouses; yet God provideth them food. How much more important now are ye, than the birds!
وَلكِنْ، أَيٌّ مِنْكُمْ، إِذَا اهْتَمَّ يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يُطِيلَ عُمْرَهُ وَلَوْ سَاعَةً وَاحِدَةً؟ ٢٥ 25
And which of you, by taking pains, can add one cubit to his stature?
فَمَا دُمْتُمْ غَيْرَ قَادِرِينَ وَلَوْ عَلَى أَصْغَرِ الأُمُورِ، فَلِمَاذَا تَهْتَمُّونَ بِالأُمُورِ الأُخْرَى؟ ٢٦ 26
And if ye are impotent for that which is least, why are ye anxious about the rest?
تَأَمَّلُوا الزَّنَابِقَ كَيْفَ تَنْمُو! فَهِيَ لاَ تَتْعَبُ وَلاَ تَغْزِلُ، وَلكِنِّي أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: حَتَّى سُلَيْمَانُ فِي قِمَّةِ مَجْدِهِ لَمْ يَكْتَسِ مَا يُعَادِلُ وَاحِدَةً مِنْهَا بَهَاءً؟ ٢٧ 27
Consider the lilies, how they grow: they toil not, nor do they spin. Yet I say to you, that not even Solomon in all his glory, was clothed like one of these.
فَإِنْ كَانَ اللهُ يَكْسُو الْعُشْبَ ثَوْباً كَهَذَا، مَعَ أَنَّهُ يَكُونُ الْيَوْمَ فِي الْحَقْلِ وَغَداً يُطْرَحُ فِي التَّنُّورِ، فَكَمْ أَنْتُمْ أَوْلَى مِنَ الْعُشْبِ (بِأَنْ يَكْسُوَكُمُ اللهُ) يَاقَلِيلِي الإِيمَانِ؟ ٢٨ 28
And if God so clothe the herb, which to-day exists in the field, and to-morrow falls into the oven, how much more you, ye little in faith?
فَعَلَيْكُمْ أَنْتُمْ أَلاَّ تَسْعَوْا إِلَى مَا تَأْكُلُونَ وَتَشْرَبُونَ، وَلاَ تَكُونُوا قَلِقِينَ. ٢٩ 29
And inquire not, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor let your mind wander upon these things.
فَهذِهِ الْحَاجَاتُ كُلُّهَا تَسْعَى إِلَيْهَا أُمَمُ الْعَالَمِ، وَأَبُوكُمْ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّكُمْ تَحْتَاجُونَ إِلَيْهَا. ٣٠ 30
For all these things the people of the world seek after; and your father knoweth that, for you also, these things are needful.
إِنَّمَا اسْعَوْا إِلَى مَلَكُوتِهِ، فَتُزَادُ لَكُمْ هذِهِ كُلُّهَا. ٣١ 31
But seek ye the kingdom of God, and all these things will be added to you.
لاَ تَخَفْ، أَيُّهَا الْقَطِيعُ الصَّغِيرُ، لأَنَّ أَبَاكُمْ قَدْ سُرَّ أَنْ يُعْطِيَكُمُ الْمَلَكُوتَ. ٣٢ 32
Fear not, little flock; for your Father is disposed to give you the kingdom
بِيعُوا مَا تَمْلِكُونَ وَأَعْطُوا صَدَقَةً، وَاجْعَلُوا لَكُمْ أَكْيَاساً لاَ تَبْلَى، كَنْزاً فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ لاَ يَنْفَدُ، حَيْثُ لاَ يَقْتَرِبُ لِصٌّ وَلاَ يُفْسِدُ سُوسٌ. ٣٣ 33
Sell your property, and give alms: make for yourselves bags that do not become old, and a treasure that is not transient, in the heavens; where no thief approacheth, and no moth eateth.
لأَنَّهُ حَيْثُ يَكُونُ كَنْزُكُمْ، يَكُونُ قَلْبُكُمْ أَيْضاً. ٣٤ 34
For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be.
لِتَكُنْ أَوْسَاطُكُمْ مَشْدُودَةً بِالأَحْزِمَةِ وَمَصَابِيحُكُمْ مُضَاءَةً، ٣٥ 35
Let your loins be girded, and your lamps burning.
وَكُونُوا مِثْلَ أُنَاسٍ يَنْتَظِرُونَ رُجُوعَ سَيِّدِهِمْ مِنْ وَلِيمَةِ الْعُرْسِ، حَتَّى إِذَا وَصَلَ وَقَرَعَ الْبَابَ يَفْتَحُونَ لَهُ حَالاً. ٣٦ 36
And be ye like persons who are waiting for their lord, when he shall return from the house of feasting, that, when he shall come and knock, they may open to him immediately.
طُوبَى لأُولئِكَ الْعَبِيدِ الَّذِينَ يَجِدُهُمْ سَيِّدُهُمْ لَدَى عَوْدَتِهِ سَاهِرِينَ. الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّهُ يَشُدُّ وَسَطَهُ بِالْحِزَامِ وَيَجْعَلُهُمْ يَتَّكِئُونَ وَيَقُومُ يَخْدِمُهُمْ. ٣٧ 37
Happy are those servants, whom their lord, when he cometh, shall find so doing. Verily I say to you: He will gird his loins, and make them recline, and will pass around and serve them.
فَطُوبَى لَهُمْ إِذَا رَجَعَ فِي الرُّبْعِ الثَّانِي أَوِ الثَّالِثِ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ وَوَجَدَهُمْ عَلَى تِلْكَ الْحَالِ. ٣٨ 38
And if in the second watch, or in the third, he shall come and so find them, happy are those servants.
وَلَكِنِ اعْلَمُوا هَذَا: أَنَّهُ لَوْ كَانَ رَبُّ الْبَيْتِ يَعْرِفُ فِي أَيَّةِ سَاعَةٍ يَدْهَمُهُ اللِّصُّ، لَكَانَ سَهِرَ وَمَا تَرَكَ بَيْتَهُ يُنْقَبُ. ٣٩ 39
And this know ye, that if the lord of the house had known at what watch the thief would come, he would have been awake and would not have suffered his house to be broken into.
فَكُونُوا أَنْتُمْ مُسْتَعِدِّينَ، لأَنَّ ابْنَ الإِنْسَانِ سَيَعُودُ فِي سَاعَةٍ لاَ تَتَوَقَّعُونَهَا». ٤٠ 40
Therefore be ye also ready; for at an hour that ye think not, the Son of man cometh.
وَسَأَلَهُ بُطْرُسُ: «يَارَبُّ، أَلَنَا تَضْرِبُ هَذَا الْمَثَلَ أَمْ لِلْجَمِيعِ عَلَى السَّوَاءِ؟» ٤١ 41
Simon Cephas saith to him: Our Lord, speakest thou this similitude to us, or also to all men?
فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ: «مَنْ هُوَ إِذَنِ الْوَكِيلُ الأَمِينُ الْعَاقِلُ الَّذِي يُقِيمُهُ سَيِّدُهُ عَلَى أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ لِيُقَدِّمَ لَهُمْ حِصَّتَهُمْ مِنَ الطَّعَامِ فِي حِينِهَا؟ ٤٢ 42
Jesus said to him: Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord will place over all his domestics, to give them their portion in due time?
طُوبَى لِذَلِكَ الْعَبْدِ الَّذِي يَجِدُهُ سَيِّدُهُ، لَدَى رُجُوعِهِ، يَقُومُ بِهَذَا الْعَمَلِ. ٤٣ 43
Happy is that servant whom his lord, when he cometh, shall find so doing.
الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّهُ يُقِيمُهُ عَلَى جَمِيعِ مُمْتَلَكَاتِهِ. ٤٤ 44
Verily I say to you: He will place him over all his possessions.
وَلكِنْ إِذَا قَالَ ذَلِكَ الْعَبْدُ فِي نَفْسِهِ: سَيِّدِي سَيَتَأخَّرُ فِي رُجُوعِهِ؛ وَأَخَذَ يَضْرِبُ الْخَادِمِينَ وَالْخَادِمَاتِ وَيَأْكُلُ وَيَشْرَبُ وَيَسْكَرُ، ٤٥ 45
But if that servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to smite the servants and the maidens of his lord; and shall begin to eat and to drink and be drunk;
فَإِنَّ سَيِّدَ ذَلِكَ الْعَبْدِ يَرْجِعُ فِي يَوْمٍ لاَ يَتَوَقَّعُهُ وَسَاعَةٍ لاَ يَعْرِفُهَا، فَيُمَزِّقُهُ وَيَجْعَلُ مَصِيرَهُ مَعَ الْخَائِنِينَ. ٤٦ 46
the lord of that servant will come in a day he thinketh not, and in an hour he knoweth not, and will cut him in two; and will assign him his portion with them that are unfaithful.
وَأَمَّا ذَلِكَ الْعَبْدُ الَّذِي يَعْمَلُ بِإِرَادَةِ سَيِّدِهِ، فَإِنَّهُ سَيُضْرَبُ كَثِيراً. ٤٧ 47
And the servant that knew his lord's pleasure, and did not prepare for him according to his pleasure, shall be beaten with many stripes.
وَلكِنَّ الَّذِي لاَ يَعْلَمُهَا وَيَعْمَلُ مَا يَسْتَوْجِبُ الضَّرْبَ، فَإِنَّهُ سَيُضْرَبُ قَلِيلاً. فَكَلُّ مَنْ أُعْطِيَ كَثِيراً، يُطْلَبُ مِنْهُ كَثِيرٌ؛ وَمَنْ أُوْدِعَ كَثِيراً، يُطَالَبُ بِأَكْثَرَ. ٤٨ 48
But he that knew not, yet did that which deserved stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For to whomsoever much is given, from him will much be required; and to whom much is committed, the more will be required at his hand.
جِئْتُ لأُلْقِيَ عَلَى الأَرْضِ نَاراً، فَلَكَمْ أَوَدُّ أَنْ تَكُونَ قَدِ اشْتَعَلَتْ؟ ٤٩ 49
I have come to cast fire on the earth; and I would, that it already burned.
وَلكِنَّ لِي مَعْمُودِيَّةَ أَلَمٍ عَلَيَّ أَنْ أَتَعَمَّدَ بِهَا، وَكَمْ أَنَا مُتَضَايِقٌ حَتَّى تَتِمَّ! ٥٠ 50
And I have a baptism to be baptized with; and I am much pressed until it be accomplished.
أَتَظُنَّونَ أَنِّي جِئْتُ لأُرسِيَ السَّلاَمَ عَلَى الأرْضِ؟ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: لاَ، بَلْ بِالأَحْرَى الانْقِسَامَ: ٥١ 51
Suppose ye, that I have come to produce tranquillity on the earth? I tell you, No: but division.
فَإِنَّهُ مُنْذُ الآنَ يَكُونُ فِي الْبَيْتِ الْوَاحِدِ خَمْسَةٌ فَيَنْقَسِمُونَ: ثَلاَثَةٌ عَلَى اثْنَيْنِ، وَاثْنَانِ عَلَى ثَلاَثَةٍ ٥٢ 52
For from this time, there will be five persons in one house, who will be divided, three against two, and two against three.
فَالآبُ يَنْقَسِمُ عَلَى ابْنِهِ، وَالابْنُ عَلَى أَبِيهِ، وَالأُمُّ عَلَى بِنْتِهَا، وَالْبِنْتُ عَلَى أُمِّهَا، وَالْحَمَاةُ عَلَى كَنَّتِهَا، وَالْكَنَّةُ عَلَى حَمَاتِهَا!» ٥٣ 53
For a father will be divided against his son, and a son against his father; a mother against her daughter, and a daughter against her mother; a mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
وَقَالَ أَيْضاً لِلْجُمُوعِ: «عِنْدَمَا تَرَوْنَ سَحَابَةً تَطْلُعُ مِنَ الْغَرْبِ، تَقُولُونَ حَالاً: الْمَطَرُ آتٍ! وَهكَذَا يَكُونُ. ٥٤ 54
And he said to the multitudes: When you see a cloud rising out of the west, ye at once say: Rain is coming; and it is so.
وَعِنْدَمَا تَهُبُّ رِيحُ الْجَنُوبِ، تَقُولُونَ: سَيَكُونُ حَرٌّ! وَهكَذَا يَكُونُ. ٥٥ 55
And when a south wind bloweth, ye say: It will be hot: and it is so.
يَامُنَافِقُونَ! تَعْرِفُونَ أَنْ تُمَيِّزُوا مَنْظَرَ الأَرْضِ وَالْسَّمَاءِ، قَكَيْفَ لاَ تُمَيِّزُونَ هَذَا الزَّمَانَ؟ ٥٦ 56
Ye hypocrites, ye know how to distinguish the aspect of the heavens and the earth; and why can ye not distinguish the present time?
وَلِمَاذَا لاَ تُمَيِّزُونَ مَا هُوَ حَقٌّ مِنْ تِلْقَاءِ أَنْفُسِكُمْ؟ ٥٧ 57
And why do ye not, of yourselves, judge correctly?
فَفِيمَا أَنْتَ ذَاهِبٌ مَعَ خَصْمِكَ إِلَى الْمُحَاكَمَةِ، اجْتَهِدْ فِي الطَّرِيقِ لِتَتَصَالَحَ مَعَهُ، لِئَلاَّ يَجُرَّكَ إِلَى الْقَاضِي، فَيُسَلِّمَكَ الْقَاضِي إِلَى الشُّرَطِيِّ، وَيُلْقِيَكَ الشُّرَطِيُّ فِي السِّجْنِ. ٥٨ 58
And when thou goest with thy adversary to the ruler, while on the way, make effort to be released by him; lest he bring thee to the judge and the judge deliver thee to the exactor, and the exactor cast thee into prison.
أَقُولُ لَكَ: إِنَّكَ لَنْ تَخْرُجَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ حَتَّى تَكُونَ قَدْ وَفَّيْتَ مَا عَلَيْكَ إِلَى آخِرِ فَلْسٍ!» ٥٩ 59
For verily I say to thee: Thou wilt not come out thence, until thou pay the last mite.
