< مَتَّى 13 >

فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَومِ خَرَجَ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ وَجَلَسَ عَلَى شَاطِئِ الْبُحَيْرَةِ. ١ 1
On that day Jesus went out of the house and sat beside the sea.
فَاجْتَمَعَتْ إِلَيْهِ جُمُوعٌ كَثِيرَةٌ، حَتَّى إِنَّهُ صَعِدَ إِلَى الْقَارِبِ وَجَلَسَ، بَيْنَمَا وَقَفَ الْجَمْعُ كُلُّهُ عَلَى الشَّاطِئِ. ٢ 2
A very large crowd gathered around him, so he got into a boat and sat in it, while the whole crowd stood on the beach.
فَكَلَّمَهُمْ بِأَمْثَالٍ فِي أُمُورٍ كَثِيرَةٍ، قَالَ: «هَا إِنَّ الزَّارِعَ قَدْ خَرَجَ لِيَزْرَعَ. ٣ 3
Then Jesus said many things to them in parables. He said, “Behold, a farmer went out to sow seed.
وَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ يَزْرَعُ، وَقَعَ بَعْضُ الْبِذَارِ عَلَى الْمَمَرَّاتِ، فَجَاءَتِ الطُّيُورُ وَالتَهَمَتْهُ. ٤ 4
As he sowed, some seeds fell beside the road, and the birds came and devoured them.
وَوَقَعَ بَعْضُهُ عَلَى أَرْضٍ صَخْرِيَّةٍ رَقِيقَةِ التُّرْبَةِ، فَطَلَعَ سَرِيعاً لأَنَّ تُرْبَتَهُ لَمْ تَكُنْ عَمِيقَةً؛ ٥ 5
Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil. Immediately they sprang up, because the soil had no depth.
وَلكِنْ لَمَّا أَشْرَقَتِ الشَّمْسُ، احْتَرَقَ وَيَبِسَ لأَنَّهُ كَانَ بِلا أَصْلٍ. ٦ 6
But when the sun had risen, they were scorched because they had no root, and they withered away.
وَوَقَعَ بَعْضُ الْبِذَارِ بَيْنَ الأَشْوَاكِ، فَطَلَعَ الشَّوْكُ وَخَنَقَهُ. ٧ 7
Other seeds fell among the thorn plants. The thorn plants grew up and choked them.
وَبَعْضُ الْبِذَارِ وَقَعَ فِي الأَرْضِ الْجَيِّدَةِ، فَأَثْمَرَ بَعْضُهُ مِئَةَ ضِعْفٍ وَبَعْضُهُ سِتِّينَ، وَبَعْضُهُ ثَلاثِينَ. ٨ 8
Other seeds fell on good soil and produced a crop, some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty.
مَنْ لَهُ أُذُنَانِ فَلْيَسْمَعْ!» ٩ 9
He who has ears, let him listen.”
فَتَقَدَّمَ إِلَيْهِ التَّلامِيذُ وَسَأَلُوهُ: «لِمَاذَا تُكَلِّمُهُمْ بِأَمْثَالٍ؟» ١٠ 10
The disciples came and said to Jesus, “Why do you talk to the crowd in parables?”
فَأَجَابَ: «لأَنَّهُ قَدْ أُعْطِيَ لَكُمْ أَنْ تَعْرِفُوا أَسْرَارَ مَلَكُوتِ السَّمَاوَاتِ؛ أَمَّا أُولَئِكَ، فَلَمْ يُعْطَ لَهُمْ ذَلِكَ. ١١ 11
Jesus answered and said to them, “You have been given the privilege of understanding mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
فَإِنَّ مَنْ عِنْدَهُ، يُعْطَى الْمَزِيدَ فَيَفِيضُ؛ وَأَمَّا مَنْ لَيْسَ عِنْدَهُ، فَحَتَّى الَّذِي عِنْدَهُ يُنْتَزَعُ مِنْهُ. ١٢ 12
For whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. But whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.
لِهَذَا السَّبَبِ أُكَلِّمُهُمْ بِأَمْثَالٍ: فَهُمْ يَنْظُرُونَ دُونَ أَنْ يُبْصِرُوا، وَيَسْمَعُونَ دُونَ أَنْ يَسْمَعُوا أَوْ يَفْهَمُوا. ١٣ 13
This is why I talk to them in parables: Though they are seeing, they do not see; and though they are hearing, they do not hear, or understand.
فَفِيهِمْ قَدْ تَمَّتْ نُبُوءَةُ إِشَعْيَاءَ حَيْثُ يَقُولُ: سَمْعاً تَسْمَعُونَ وَلا تَفْهَمُونَ، وَنَظَراً تَنْظُرُونَ وَلا تُبْصِرُونَ. ١٤ 14
To them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, that which says, 'While hearing you will hear, but you will in no way understand; while seeing you will see, but you will in no way perceive.
لأَنَّ قَلْبَ هَذَا الشَّعْبِ قَدْ صَارَ غَلِيظاً، وَصَارَتْ آذَانُهُمْ ثَقِيلَةَ السَّمْعِ، وَأَغْمَضُوا عُيُونَهُمْ؛ لِئَلَّا يُبْصِرُوا بِعُيُونِهِمْ، وَيَسْمَعُوا بِآذَانِهِمْ، وَيَفْهَمُوا بِقُلُوبِهِمْ، وَيَرْجِعُوا إِلَيَّ، فَأَشْفِيَهُمْ! ١٥ 15
For this people's heart has become dull, and they are hard of hearing, and they have closed their eyes, so they should not see with their eyes, or hear with their ears, or understand with their hearts, so they would turn again, and I would heal them.'
وَأَمَّا أَنْتُمْ، فَطُوبَى لِعُيُونِكُمْ لأَنَّهَا تُبْصِرُ، وَلِآذَانِكُمْ لأَنَّهَا تَسْمَعُ. ١٦ 16
But blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear.
فَالْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: كَمْ تَمَنَّى أَنْبِيَاءُ وَصَالِحُونَ كَثِيرُونَ أَنْ يَرَوْا مَا أَنْتُمْ تَرَوْنَ وَلَمْ يَرَوْا، وَأَنْ يَسْمَعُوا مَا تَسْمَعُونَ وَلَمْ يَسْمَعُوا! ١٧ 17
Truly I say to you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see the things that you see, and did not see them. They desired to hear the things that you hear, and did not hear them.
فَاسْمَعُوا أَنْتُمْ مَعْنَى مَثَلِ الزَّارِعِ: ١٨ 18
Listen then to the parable of the farmer who sowed his seed.
كُلُّ مَنْ يَسْمَعُ كَلِمَةَ الْمَلَكُوتِ وَلا يَفْهَمُهَا، يَأْتِي الشِّرِّيرُ وَيَخْطَفُ مَا قَدْ زُرِعَ فِي قَلْبِهِ: هَذَا هُوَ الْمَزْرُوعُ عَلَى الْمَمَرَّاتِ. ١٩ 19
When anyone hears the word of the kingdom but does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in his heart. This is the seed that was sown beside the road.
أَمَّا الْمَزْرُوعُ عَلَى أَرْضٍ صَخْرِيَّةٍ، فَهُوَ الَّذِي يَسْمَعُ الْكَلِمَةَ وَيَقْبَلُهَا بِفَرَحٍ فِي الْحَالِ، ٢٠ 20
What was sown on rocky ground is the person who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy,
وَلكِنَّهُ لَا أَصْلَ لَهُ فِي ذَاتِهِ، وَإِنَّمَا يَبْقَى إِلَى حِينٍ: فَحَالَمَا يَحْدُثُ ضِيقٌ أَوِ اضْطِهَادٌ مِنْ أَجْلِ الْكَلِمَةِ، يَتَعَثَّرُ. ٢١ 21
yet he has no root in himself and he endures for a while. When tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, he quickly falls away.
أَمَّا الْمَزْرُوعُ بَيْنَ الأَشْوَاكِ، فَهُوَ الَّذِي يَسْمَعُ الْكَلِمَةَ، وَلكِنَّ هَمَّ الزَّمَانِ الْحَاضِرِ وَخِدَاعَ الْغِنَى يَخْنُقَانِ الْكَلِمَةَ، فَلا يُعْطِي ثَمَراً. (aiōn g165) ٢٢ 22
What was sown among the thorn plants, this is the person who hears the word, but the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
وَأَمَّا الْمَزْرُوعُ فِي الأَرْضِ الْجَيِّدَةِ فَهُوَ الَّذِي يَسْمَعُ الْكَلِمَةَ وَيَفْهَمُهَا، وَهُوَ الَّذِي يُعْطِي ثَمَراً. فَيُنْتِجُ الْوَاحِدُ مِئَةً، وَالآخَرُ سِتِّينَ، وَغَيْرُهُ ثَلاثِينَ!» ٢٣ 23
What was sown on the good soil, this is the person who hears the word and understands it. He bears fruit and makes a crop, some yielding one hundred times as much as was planted, some sixty, and some thirty times as much.”
وَضَرَبَ لَهُمْ مَثَلاً آخَرَ، قَالَ: «يُشَبَّهُ مَلَكُوتُ السَّمَاوَاتِ بِإِنْسَانٍ زَرَعَ زَرْعاً جَيِّداً فِي حَقْلِهِ. ٢٤ 24
Jesus presented another parable to them. He said, “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field.
وَبَيْنَمَا النَّاسُ نَائِمُونَ، جَاءَ عَدُوُّهُ، وَزَرَعَ حَشَائِشَ غَرِيبَةً فِي وَسَطِ الْقَمْحِ، وَمَضَى. ٢٥ 25
But while people slept, his enemy came and also sowed weeds among the wheat and then went away.
فَلَمَّا نَمَا الْقَمْحُ بِسَنَابِلِهِ، ظَهَرَتِ الحَشَائِشُ مَعَهُ. ٢٦ 26
When the blades sprouted and then produced their crop, then the weeds appeared also.
فَذَهَبَ عَبِيدُ رَبِّ الْبَيْتِ، وَقَالُوا لَهُ: يَا سَيِّدُ، أَمَا زَرَعْتَ حَقْلَكَ زَرْعاً جَيِّداً؟ فَمِنْ أَيْنَ جَاءَتْهُ الحَشَائِشُ؟ ٢٧ 27
The servants of the landowner came and said to him, 'Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How does it now have weeds?'
أَجَابَهُمْ إِنْسَانٌ عَدُوٌّ فَعَلَ هَذَا! فَسَأَلُوهُ: أَتُرِيدُ أَنْ نَذْهَبَ وَنَجْمَعَ الحَشَائشَ؟ ٢٨ 28
He said to them, 'An enemy has done this.' The servants said to him, 'So do you want us to go and pull them out?'
أَجَابَهُمْ: لا، لِئَلّا تَقْلَعُوا الْقَمْحَ وَأَنْتُمْ تَجْمَعُونَ الحَشَائشَ. ٢٩ 29
The landowner said, 'No. Because while you are pulling out the weeds, you might uproot the wheat with them.
اُتْرُكُوهُمَا كِلَيْهِمَا يَنْمُوَانِ مَعاً حَتَّى الْحَصَادِ. وَفِي أَوَانِ الْحَصَادِ، أَقُولُ لِلْحَصَّادِينَ: الحَشَائشَ أَوَّلاً وَارْبِطُوهَا حُزَماً لِتُحْرَقَ. أَمَّا الْقَمْحُ، فَاجْمَعُوهُ إِلَى مَخْزَنِي». ٣٠ 30
Let both grow together until the harvest. At the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, “First pull out the weeds and tie them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.”'”
وَضَرَبَ لَهُمْ مَثَلاً آخَرَ، قَالَ: «يُشَبَّهُ مَلَكُوتُ السَّمَاوَاتِ بِبِزْرَةِ خَرْدَلٍ أَخَذَهَا إِنْسَانٌ وَزَرَعَهَا فِي حَقْلِهِ. ٣١ 31
Then Jesus presented another parable to them. He said, “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed which a man took and sowed in his field.
فَمَعَ أَنَّهَا أَصْغَرُ الْبُذُورِ كُلِّهَا، فَحِينَ تَنْمُو تُصْبِحُ أَكْبَرَ الْبُقُولِ جَمِيعاً، ثُمَّ تَصِيرُ شَجَرَةً، حَتَّى إِنَّ طُيُورَ السَّمَاءِ تَأْتِي وَتَبِيتُ فِي أَغْصَانِهَا». ٣٢ 32
This seed is indeed the smallest of all seeds. But when it has grown, it is greater than the garden plants. It becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches.”
وَضَرَبَ لَهُمْ مَثَلاً آخَرَ، قَالَ: «يُشَبَّهُ مَلَكُوتُ السَّمَاوَاتِ بِخَمِيرَةٍ أَخَذَتْهَا امْرَأَةٌ وَأَخْفَتْهَا فِي ثَلاثَةِ مَقَادِيرَ مِنَ الدَّقِيقِ، حَتَّى اخْتَمَرَ الْعَجِينُ كُلُّهُ». ٣٣ 33
Jesus then told them another parable. “The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed with three measures of flour until all the dough had risen.”
هَذِهِ الأُمُورُ كُلُّهَا كَلَّمَ بِها يَسُوعُ الْجُمُوعَ بِأَمْثَالٍ. وَبِغَيْرِ مَثَلٍ لَمْ يَكُنْ يُكَلِّمُهُمْ، ٣٤ 34
All these things Jesus said to the crowds in parables; and he said nothing to them without a parable.
لِيَتِمَّ مَا قِيلَ بِلِسَانِ النَّبِيِّ الْقَائِلِ: «سَأَفْتَحُ فَمِي بِأَمْثَالٍ، وَأَكْشِفُ مَا كَانَ مَخْفِيًّا مُنْذُ إِنْشَاءِ الْعَالَمِ». ٣٥ 35
This was in order that what had been said through the prophet might come true, when he said, “I will open my mouth in parables. I will say things that were hidden from the foundation of the world.”
ثُمَّ صَرَفَ يَسُوعُ الْجُمُوعَ وَرَجَعَ إِلَى الْبَيْتِ. فَتَقَدَّمَ إِلَيْهِ تَلامِيذُهُ وَقَالُوا: «فَسِّرْ لَنَا مَثَلَ حَشَائشِ الْحَقْلِ». ٣٦ 36
Then Jesus left the crowds and went into the house. His disciples came to him and said, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds of the field.”
فَأَجَابَهُمْ: «الزَّارِعُ الزَّرْعَ الْجَيِّدَ هُوَ ابْنُ الإِنْسَانِ. ٣٧ 37
Jesus answered and said, “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man.
وَالْحَقْلُ هُوَ الْعَالَمُ. وَالزَّرْعُ الْجَيِّدُ هُوَ بَنُو الْمَلَكُوتِ. وَالحَشَائِشُ الْغَرِيبَةُ هُمْ بَنُو الشِّرِّيرِ. ٣٨ 38
The field is the world; and the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one,
أَمَّا الْعَدُوُّ الَّذِي زَرَعَ الحَشَائشَ فَهُوَ إِبْلِيسُ. وَالْحَصَادُ هُوَ نِهَايَةُ الزَّمَانِ. وَالْحَصَّادُونَ هُمُ الْمَلائِكَةُ. (aiōn g165) ٣٩ 39
and the enemy who sowed them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels. (aiōn g165)
وَكَمَا تُجْمَعُ الحَشَائشُ وَتُحْرَقُ بِالنَّارِ، هَكَذَا يَحْدُثُ فِي نِهَايَةِ الزَّمَانِ: (aiōn g165) ٤٠ 40
Therefore, as the weeds are gathered up and burned with fire, so will it be at the end of the age. (aiōn g165)
يُرْسِلُ ابْنُ الإِنْسَانِ مَلائِكَتَهُ، فَيُخْرِجُونَ مِنْ مَلَكُوتِهِ جَمِيعَ الْمُفْسِدِينَ وَمُرْتَكِبِي الإِثْمِ، ٤١ 41
The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all the things that cause sin and those who commit iniquity.
وَيَطْرَحُونَهُمْ فِي أَتُونِ النَّارِ، هُنَاكَ يَكُونُ الْبُكَاءُ وَصَرِيرُ الأَسْنَانِ. ٤٢ 42
They will throw them into the furnace of fire, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.
عِنْدَئِذٍ يُضِيءُ الأَبْرَارُ كَالشَّمْسِ فِي مَلَكُوتِ أَبِيهِمْ. مَنْ لَهُ أُذُنَانِ، فَلْيَسْمَعْ! ٤٣ 43
Then will the righteous people shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him listen.
يُشَبَّهُ مَلَكُوتُ السَّمَاوَاتِ بِكَنْزٍ مَطْمُورٍ فِي حَقْلٍ، وَجَدَهُ رَجُلٌ، فَعَادَ وَخَبَأَهُ. وَمِنْ فَرَحِهِ، ذَهَبَ وَبَاعَ كُلَّ مَا كَانَ يَمْلِكُ وَاشْتَرَى ذلِكَ الْحَقْلَ. ٤٤ 44
The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in a field. A man found it and hid it. In his joy he goes, sells everything he possesses, and buys that field.
وَيُشَبَّهُ مَلَكُوتُ السَّمَاوَاتِ أَيْضاً بِتَاجِرٍ كَانَ يَبْحَثُ عَنِ اللَّآلِئِ الْجَمِيلَةِ. ٤٥ 45
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a man who is a merchant looking for valuable pearls.
فَمَا إِنْ وَجَدَ لُؤْلُؤَةً ثَمِينَةً جِدّاً، حَتَّى ذَهَبَ وَبَاعَ كُلَّ مَا يَمْلِكُ، وَاشْتَرَاهَا. ٤٦ 46
When he found one pearl of very great value, he went and sold everything that he possessed and bought it.
وَيُشَبَّهُ مَلَكُوتُ السَّمَاوَاتِ أَيْضاً بِشَبَكَةٍ أُلْقِيَتْ فِي الْبَحْرِ، فَجَمَعَتْ مِنْ كُلِّ نَوْعٍ. ٤٧ 47
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was cast into the sea, and that gathered creatures of every kind.
وَلَمَّا امْتَلأَتْ، جَذَبَهَا الصَّيَّادُونَ إِلَى الشَّاطِئِ وَجَلَسُوا، ثُمَّ جَمَعُوا مَا كَانَ جَيِّداً فِي سِلالٍ، وَطَرَحُوا الرَّدِيءَ خَارِجاً. ٤٨ 48
When it was filled, the fishermen drew it up on the beach. Then they sat down and gathered the good things into containers, but the worthless things they threw away.
هكَذَا يَحْدُثُ فِي نِهَايَةِ الزَّمَانِ: يَأْتِي الْمَلائِكَةُ فَيُخْرِجُونَ الأَشْرَارَ مِنْ بَيْنِ الأَبْرَارِ، (aiōn g165) ٤٩ 49
It will be this way at the end of the age. The angels will come and separate the wicked from among the righteous. (aiōn g165)
وَيَطْرَحُونَهُمْ فِي أَتُونِ النَّارِ، هُنَاكَ يَكُونُ الْبُكَاءُ وَصَرِيرُ الأَسْنَانِ. ٥٠ 50
They will throw them into the furnace of fire, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.
أَفَهِمْتُمْ هَذِهِ الأُمُورَ كُلَّهَا؟» أَجَابُوهُ: «نَعَمْ!» ٥١ 51
Have you understood all these things?” The disciples said to him, “Yes.”
فَقَالَ: «وَلِهَذَا السَّبَبِ، فَأَيُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنَ الْكَتَبَةِ يَصِيرُ تِلْمِيذاً لِمَلَكُوتِ السَّمَاوَاتِ، يُشَبَّهُ بِإِنْسَانٍ رَبِّ بَيْتٍ يُطْلِعُ مِنْ كَنْزِهِ مَا هُوَ جَدِيدٌ وَمَا هُوَ عَتِيقٌ!» ٥٢ 52
Then Jesus said to them, “Therefore every scribe who has become a disciple to the kingdom of heaven is like a man who is the owner of a house, who draws out old and new things from his treasure.”
وَبَعْدَمَا أَنْهَى يَسُوعُ هَذِهِ الأَمْثَالَ، انْتَقَلَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ. ٥٣ 53
Then it came about that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed from that place.
وَلَمَّا عَادَ إِلَى بَلْدَتِهِ، أَخَذَ يُعَلِّمُ الْيَهُودَ فِي مَجَامِعِهِمْ، حَتَّى دُهِشُوا وَتَسَاءَلُوا: «مِنْ أَيْنَ لَهُ هَذِهِ الْحِكْمَةُ وَهَذِهِ الْمُعْجِزَاتُ؟ ٥٤ 54
Then Jesus entered his own region and taught the people in their synagogue. The result was that they were astonished and said, “Where does this man get his wisdom and these miracles from?
أَلَيْسَ هُوَ ابْنَ النَّجَّارِ؟ أَلَيْسَتْ أُمُّهُ تُدْعَى مَرْيَمَ وَإخْوَتُهُ يَعْقُوبَ وَيُوسُفَ وَسِمْعَانَ وَيَهُوذَا؟ ٥٥ 55
Is not this man the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary? Are not his brothers James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas?
أَوَلَيْسَتْ أَخَوَاتُهُ جَمِيعاً عِنْدَنَا؟ فَمِنْ أَيْنَ لَهُ هَذِهِ كُلُّهَا؟» ٥٦ 56
Are not all his sisters with us? Where did he get all these things?”
وَكَانُوا يَشُكُّونَ فِيهِ. أَمَّا هُوَ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «لا يَكُونُ النَّبِيُّ بِلا كَرَامَةٍ إِلّا فِي بَلْدَتِهِ وَبَيْتِهِ!» ٥٧ 57
They were offended by him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own country and in his own family.”
وَلَمْ يُجْرِ هُنَاكَ إِلّا مُعْجِزَاتٍ قَلِيلَةً، بِسَبَبِ عَدَمِ إِيمَانِهِمْ بِهِ. ٥٨ 58
He did not do many miracles there because of their unbelief.
