وَضَرَبَ لَهُمْ مَثَلاً فِي وُجُوبِ الصَّلاةِ دَائِماً وَدُونَ مَلَلٍ، ١ 1
He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray and not give up,
قَالَ: «كَانَ فِي مَدِينَةٍ قَاضٍ لَا يَخَافُ اللهَ وَلا يَحْتَرِمُ إِنْسَاناً. ٢ 2
saying, “There was a judge in a certain city who didn’t fear God and didn’t respect man.
وَكَانَ فِي تِلْكَ الْمَدِينَةِ أَرْمَلَةٌ كَانَتْ تَأْتِي إِلَيْهِ قَائِلَةً: أَنْصِفْنِي مِنْ خَصْمِي! ٣ 3
A widow was in that city, and she often came to him, saying, ‘Defend me from my adversary!’
فَظَلَّ يَرْفُضُ طَلَبَهَا مُدَّةً مِنَ الزَّمَنِ. وَلكِنَّهُ بَعْدَ ذلِكَ قَالَ فِي نَفْسِهِ: حَتَّى لَوْ كُنْتُ لَا أَخَافُ اللهَ وَلا أَحْتَرِمُ إِنْسَاناً، ٤ 4
He wouldn’t for a while; but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect man,
فَمَهْمَا يَكُنْ، فَلأَنَّ هذِهِ الأَرْمَلَةَ تُزْعِجُنِي سَأُنْصِفُهَا، لِئَلّا تَأْتِيَ دَائِماً فَتُصَدِّعَ رَأْسِي!» ٥ 5
yet because this widow bothers me, I will defend her, or else she will wear me out by her continual coming.’”
وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ: «اسْمَعُوا مَا يَقُولُهُ الْقَاضِي الظَّالِمُ. ٦ 6
The Lord said, “Listen to what the unrighteous judge says.
أَفَلا يُنْصِفُ اللهُ مُخْتَارِيهِ الَّذِينَ يَصْرُخُونَ إِلَيْهِ نَهَاراً وَلَيْلاً؟ أَمَا يُسْرِعُ فِي الاسْتِجَابَةِ لَهُمْ؟ ٧ 7
Won’t God avenge his chosen ones who are crying out to him day and night, and yet he exercises patience with them?
أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّهُ يُنْصِفُهُمْ سَرِيعاً. وَلكِنْ، عِنْدَمَا يَعُودُ ابْنُ الإِنْسَانِ، أَيَجِدُ إِيمَاناً عَلَى الأَرْضِ؟» ٨ 8
I tell you that he will avenge them quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”
وَضَرَبَ أَيْضاً هَذَا الْمَثَلَ لأُنَاسٍ يَثِقُونَ فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ بِأَنَّهُمْ أَبْرَارٌ وَيَحْتَقِرُونَ الآخَرِينَ: ٩ 9
He also spoke this parable to certain people who were convinced of their own righteousness, and who despised all others:
«صَعِدَ إِنْسَانَانِ إِلَى الْهَيْكَلِ لِيُصَلِّيَا، أَحَدُهُمَا فَرِّيسِيٌّ وَالآخَرُ جَابِي ضَرَائِبَ. ١٠ 10
“Two men went up into the temple to pray; one was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector.
فَوَقَفَ الْفَرِّيسِيُّ يُصَلِّي فِي نَفْسِهِ هكَذَا: أَشْكُرُكَ، يَا اللهُ، لأَنِّي لَسْتُ مِثْلَ بَاقِي النَّاسِ الطَّمَّاعِينَ الظَّالِمِينَ الزُّنَاةِ، وَلا مِثْلَ جَابِي الضَّرَائِبِ هَذَا: ١١ 11
The Pharisee stood and prayed by himself like this: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like the rest of men: extortionists, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.
أَصُومُ مَرَّتَيْنِ فِي الأُسْبُوعِ، وَأُقَدِّمُ عُشْرَ كُلِّ مَا أَجْنِيهِ! ١٢ 12
I fast twice a week. I give tithes of all that I get.’
وَلكِنَّ جَابِيَ الضَّرَائِبِ، وَقَفَ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ وَهُوَ لَا يَجْرُؤُ أَنْ يَرْفَعَ عَيْنَيْهِ نَحْوَ السَّمَاءِ، بَلْ قَرَعَ صَدْرَهُ قَائِلاً: ارْحَمْنِي، يَا اللهُ، أَنَا الْخَاطِئُ! ١٣ 13
But the tax collector, standing far away, wouldn’t even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his chest, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’
أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ هَذَا الإِنْسَانَ نَزَلَ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ مُبَرَّراً، بِعَكْسِ الآخَرِ. فَإِنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ يُرَفِّعُ نَفْسَهُ يُوضَعُ؛ وَمَنْ يَضَعُ نَفْسَهُ يُرَفَّعُ». ١٤ 14
I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
وَأَحْضَرَ بَعْضُهُمْ أَطْفَالاً أَيْضاً لِيَلْمِسَهُمْ. وَلكِنَّ التَّلامِيذَ لَمَّا رَأَوْهُمْ زَجَرُوهُمْ. ١٥ 15
They were also bringing their babies to him, that he might touch them. But when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
أَمَّا يَسُوعُ فَدَعَاهُمْ إِلَيْهِ وَقَالَ: «دَعُوا الصِّغَارَ يَأْتُونَ إِلَيَّ، وَلا تَمْنَعُوهُمْ: لأَنَّ لِمِثْلِ هؤُلاءِ مَلَكُوتَ اللهِ! ١٦ 16
Yeshua summoned them, saying, “Allow the little children to come to me, and don’t hinder them, for God’s Kingdom belongs to such as these.
الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: مَنْ لَا يَقْبَلُ مَلَكُوتَ اللهِ كَأَنَّهُ وَلَدٌ صَغِيرٌ، فَلَنْ يَدْخُلَهُ أَبَداً!» ١٧ 17
Most certainly, I tell you, whoever doesn’t receive God’s Kingdom like a little child, he will in no way enter into it.”
وَسَأَلَهُ وَاحِدٌ مِنَ الرُّؤَسَاءِ قَائِلاً: «أَيُّهَا الْمُعَلِّمُ الصَّالِحُ، مَاذَا أَعْمَلُ لأَرِثَ الْحَيَاةَ الأَبَدِيَّةَ؟» (aiōnios g166) ١٨ 18
A certain ruler asked him, saying, “Good Rabbi, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
وَلَكِنَّ يَسُوعَ قَالَ لَهُ: «لِمَاذَا تَدْعُونِي الصَّالِحَ؟ لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ صَالِحاً إِلّا وَاحِدٌ، وَهُوَ اللهُ! ١٩ 19
Yeshua asked him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good, except one: God.
أَنْتَ تَعْرِفُ الْوَصَايَا: لَا تَزْنِ؛ لَا تَقْتُلْ؛ لَا تَسْرِقْ؛ لَا تَشْهَدْ بِالزُّورِ؛ أَكْرِمْ أَبَاكَ وَأُمَّكَ!» ٢٠ 20
You know the commandments: ‘Don’t commit adultery,’ ‘Don’t murder,’ ‘Don’t steal,’ ‘Don’t give false testimony,’ ‘Honor your father and your mother.’”
فَقَالَ: «هَذِهِ كُلُّهَا عَمِلْتُ بِها مُنْذُ صِغَرِي!» ٢١ 21
He said, “I have observed all these things from my youth up.”
فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ يَسُوعُ هَذَا، قَالَ لَهُ: «يَنْقُصُكَ شَيْءٌ وَاحِدٌ: بِعْ كُلَّ مَا عِنْدَكَ، وَوَزِّعْ عَلَى الْفُقَرَاءِ، فَيَكُونَ لَكَ كَنْزٌ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ. ثُمَّ تَعَالَ اتْبَعْنِي!» ٢٢ 22
When Yeshua heard these things, he said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have and distribute it to the poor. Then you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.”
وَلكِنَّهُ لَمَّا سَمِعَ ذلِكَ، حَزِنَ حُزْناً شَدِيداً، لأَنَّهُ كَانَ غَنِيًّا جِدّاً. ٢٣ 23
But when he heard these things, he became very sad, for he was very rich.
فَلَمَّا رَأَى يَسُوعُ ذَلِكَ مِنْهُ، قَالَ: «مَا أَصْعَبَ دُخُولَ الأَغْنِيَاءِ إِلَى مَلَكُوتِ اللهِ! ٢٤ 24
Yeshua, seeing that he became very sad, said, “How hard it is for those who have riches to enter into God’s Kingdom!
فَإِنَّ مُرُورَ جَمَلٍ فِي ثَقْبِ إِبْرَةٍ أَسْهَلُ مِنْ دُخُولِ غَنِيٍّ إِلَى مَلَكُوتِ اللهِ». ٢٥ 25
For it is easier for a camel to enter in through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter into God’s Kingdom.”
فَقَالَ الَّذِينَ سَمِعُوا ذَلِكَ: «إِذَنْ، مَنْ يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يَخْلُصَ؟» ٢٦ 26
Those who heard it said, “Then who can be saved?”
فَقَالَ: «إِنَّ الْمُسْتَحِيلَ عِنْدَ النَّاسِ مُسْتَطَاعٌ عِنْدَ اللهِ!» ٢٧ 27
But he said, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.”
فَقَالَ بُطْرُسُ: «هَا نَحْنُ قَدْ تَرَكْنَا كُلَّ شَيْءٍ وَتَبِعْنَاكَ!» ٢٨ 28
Peter said, “Look, we have left everything and followed you.”
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «الحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: مَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ تَرَكَ بَيْتاً، أَوْ زَوْجَةً، أَوْ إِخْوَةً أَوْ وَالِدَيْنِ، أَوْ أَوْلاداً، مِنْ أَجْلِ مَلَكُوتِ اللهِ، ٢٩ 29
He said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, there is no one who has left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children, for God’s Kingdom’s sake,
إِلّا وَيَنَالُ أَضْعَافَ ذَلِكَ فِي هَذَا الزَّمَانِ، وَيَنَالُ فِي الزَّمَانِ الآتِي الْحَيَاةَ الأَبَدِيَّةَ!» (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166) ٣٠ 30
who will not receive many times more in this time, and in the world to come, eternal life.” (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
ثُمَّ انْتَحَى بِالاثْنَيْ عَشَرَ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «هَا نَحْنُ صَاعِدُونَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَسَوْفَ تَتِمُّ جَمِيعُ الأُمُورِ الَّتِي كَتَبَهَا الأَنْبِيَاءُ عَنِ ابْنِ الإِنْسَانِ. ٣١ 31
He took the twelve aside and said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be completed.
فَإِنَّهُ سَيُسَلَّمُ إِلَى أَيْدِي الأُمَمِ، فَيُسْتَهْزَأُ بِهِ وَيُهَانُ وَيُبْصَقُ عَلَيْهِ. ٣٢ 32
For he will be delivered up to the Gentiles, will be mocked, treated shamefully, and spit on.
وَبَعْدَ أَنْ يَجْلِدُوهُ يَقْتُلُونَهُ. وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ يَقُومُ!» ٣٣ 33
They will scourge and kill him. On the third day, he will rise again.”
وَلكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَفْهَمُوا شَيْئاً مِنْ ذلِكَ. وَكَانَ هَذَا الأَمْرُ خَافِياً عَنْهُمْ، وَلَمْ يُدْرِكُوا مَا قِيلَ. ٣٤ 34
They understood none of these things. This saying was hidden from them, and they didn’t understand the things that were said.
وَلَمَّا وَصَلَ إِلَى جُوَارِ أَرِيحَا، كَانَ أَحَدُ الْعُمْيَانِ جَالِساً عَلَى جَانِبِ الطَّرِيقِ يَسْتَعْطِي. ٣٥ 35
As he came near Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the road, begging.
فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ مُرُورَ الْجَمْعِ، اسْتَخْبَرَ عَمَّا عَسَى أَنْ يَكُونَ ذَلِكَ. ٣٦ 36
Hearing a multitude going by, he asked what this meant.
فَقِيلَ لَهُ: «إِنَّ يَسُوعَ النَّاصِرِيَّ مَارٌّ مِنْ هُنَاكَ». ٣٧ 37
They told him that Yeshua of Nazareth was passing by.
فَنَادَى قَائِلاً «يَا يَسُوعُ ابْنَ دَاوُدَ، ارْحَمْنِي!» ٣٨ 38
He cried out, “Yeshua, you son of David, have mercy on me!”
فَزَجَرَهُ السَّائِرُونَ فِي الْمُقَدِّمَةِ لِيَسْكُتَ. وَلكِنَّهُ أَخَذَ يَزِيدُ صُرَاخاً أَكْثَرَ: «يَا ابْنَ دَاوُدَ، ارْحَمْنِي!» ٣٩ 39
Those who led the way rebuked him, that he should be quiet; but he cried out all the more, “You son of David, have mercy on me!”
فَتَوَقَّفَ يَسُوعَ وَأَمَرَ أَنْ يُؤْتَى بِهِ إِلَيْهِ. فَلَمَّا اقْتَرَبَ سَأَلَهُ: ٤٠ 40
Standing still, Yeshua commanded him to be brought to him. When he had come near, he asked him,
«مَاذَا تُرِيدُ أَنْ أَفْعَلَ لَكَ؟» فَقَالَ: «يَا رَبُّ، أَنْ تَرُدَّ لِي الْبَصَرَ!» ٤١ 41
“What do you want me to do?” He said, “Lord, that I may see again.”
فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «أَبْصِرْ! إِيمَانُكَ قَدْ شَفَاكَ». ٤٢ 42
Yeshua said to him, “Receive your sight. Your faith has healed you.”
وَفِي الْحَالِ أَبْصَرَ، وَتَبِعَهُ وَهُوَ يُمَجِّدُ اللهَ. وَلَمَّا رَأَى جَميعُ الشَّعْبِ ذَلِكَ، سَبَّحُوا اللهَ. ٤٣ 43
Immediately he received his sight and followed him, glorifying God. All the people, when they saw it, praised God.
