< Luke 13 >

1 And there were some present at that time, telling Him about the Galileans, whose blood Pilate mingled with their sacrifices;
وَفِي ذلِكَ الْوَقْتِ عَيْنِهِ، حَضَرَ بَعْضُهُمْ وَأَخْبَرُوهُ عَنْ أَهْلِ الْجَليلِ الَّذِينَ قَتَلَهُمْ بِيلاطُسُ فَخَلَطَ دِمَاءَهُمْ بِدِمَاءِ ذَبَائِحِهِمْ.١
2 and Jesus answering said to them, “Do you think that these Galileans became sinners beyond all the Galileans, because they have suffered such things?
فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِمْ قَائِلاً: «أَتَظُنُّونَ أَنَّ هَؤُلاءِ الْجَلِيلِيِّينَ كَانُوا خَاطِئِينَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَلِيلِ الْبَاقِينَ حَتَّى لاقَوْا هَذَا الْمَصِيرَ؟٢
3 No—I say to you, but if you may not convert, even so will all you perish.
أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: لا، وَلكِنْ إِنْ لَمْ تَتُوبُوا أَنْتُمْ فَجَمِيعُكُمْ كَذَلِكَ تَهْلِكُونَ!٣
4 Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them, do you think that these became debtors beyond all men who are dwelling in Jerusalem?
أَمْ تَظُنُّونَ أَنَّ الثَّمَانِيَةَ عَشَرَ الَّذِينَ سَقَطَ عَلَيْهِمِ الْبُرْجُ فِي سِلْوَامَ فَقَتَلَهُمْ، كَانُوا مُذْنِبِينَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ السَّاكِنِينَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ؟٤
5 No—I say to you, but if you may not convert, all you will perish in like manner.”
أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: لا، وَلكِنْ إِنْ لَمْ تَتُوبُوا أَنْتُمْ فَجَمِيعُكُمْ كَذلِكَ تَهْلِكُونَ!»٥
6 And He spoke this allegory: “A certain one had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit in it, and he did not find;
ثُمَّ ضَرَبَ هَذَا الْمَثَلَ: «كَانَ عِنْدَ أَحَدِهِمْ شَجَرَةُ تِينٍ مَغْرُوسَةٌ فِي كَرْمِهِ. فَجَاءَهَا طَلَباً لِلثَّمَرِ، فَمَا وَجَدَ شَيْئاً.٦
7 and he said to the vinedresser, Behold, three years I come seeking fruit in this fig tree, and do not find [it], cut it off, why does it also render the ground useless?
فَقَالَ لِلْمُزَارِعِ: هذِهِ ثَلاثُ سِنِينَ وَأَنَا أَقْصِدُ هذِهِ التِّيِنَةَ طَلَباً لِلثَّمَرِ فَلا أَجِدُ شَيْئاً: اقْطَعْهَا، لِمَاذَا نَتْرُكُهَا تُعَطِّلُ الأَرْضَ؟٧
8 And he answering says to him, Lord, permit it also this year, until I may dig around it, and cast in dung;
وَلكِنَّ الْمُزَارِعَ أَجَابَهُ قَائِلاً: يَا سَيِّدُ اتْرُكْهَا هذِهِ السَّنَةَ أَيْضاً، حَتَّى أَنْقُبَ التُّرْبَةَ مِنْ حَوْلِهَا وَأَضَعَ سَمَاداً.٨
9 and if indeed it may bear fruit—and if not so, thereafter you will cut it off.”
فَلَعَلَّهَا تُنْتِجُ ثَمَراً! وَإلَّا، فَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ تَقْطَعُهَا!»٩
10 And He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath,
وَكَانَ يُعَلِّمُ فِي أَحَدِ الْمَجَامِعِ ذَاتَ سَبْتٍ.١٠
11 and behold, there was a woman having a spirit of disability [for] eighteen years, and she was bent together, and not able to bend back at all,
وَإذَا هُنَاكَ امْرَأَةٌ كَانَ قَدْ سَكَنَهَا رُوحٌ فَأَمْرَضَهَا طِيلَةَ ثَمَانِي عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً. وَكَانَتْ حَدْبَاءَ لَا تَقْدِرُ أَنْ تَنْتَصِبَ أَبَداً.١١
12 and Jesus having seen her, called [her] near and said to her, “Woman, you have been loosed from your disability”;
فَلَمَّا رَآهَا يَسُوعُ، دَعَاهَا، وَقَالَ لَهَا: «يَا امْرَأَةُ، أَنْتِ فِي حِلٍّ مِنْ دَائِكِ!»١٢
13 and He laid on her [His] hands, and immediately she was set upright, and was glorifying God.
وَوَضَعَ يَدَيْهِ عَلَيْهَا، فَعَادَتْ مُسْتَقِيمَةً فِي الْحَالِ، وَمَجَّدَتِ اللهَ!١٣
14 And the chief of the synagogue answering—much displeased that on the Sabbath Jesus healed—said to the multitude, “Six days there are in which it is necessary to be working; in these, then, coming, be healed, and not on the day of the Sabbath.”
إِلّا أَنَّ رَئِيسَ الْمَجْمَعِ، وَقَدْ ثَارَ غَضَبُهُ لأَنَّ يَسُوعَ شَفَى فِي السَّبْتِ، قَالَ لِلْجَمْعِ: «فِي الأُسْبُوعِ سِتَّةُ أَيَّامٍ يُسْمَحُ فِيهَا بِالْعَمَلِ. فَفِي هذِهِ الأَيَّامِ تَعَالَوْا وَاسْتَشْفُوا، لَا فِي يَوْمِ السَّبْتِ!»١٤
15 Then the LORD answered him and said, “Hypocrite, do not each of you loose his ox or donkey from the stall on the Sabbath, and having led [it] away, water [it]?
فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِ الرَّبُّ قَائِلاً: «يَا مُنَافِقُونَ! أَلّا يَحُلُّ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُمْ يَوْمَ السَّبْتِ رِبَاطَ ثَوْرِهِ أَوْ حِمَارِهِ مِنَ الْمِذْوَدِ وَيَذْهَبُ بِهِ فَيَسْقِيهِ!١٥
16 And this one, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan bound eighteen years, behold, did [she] not ought to be loosed from this bond on the day of the Sabbath?”
وَأَمَّا هذِهِ الْمَرْأَةُ، وَهِيَ ابْنَةٌ لإِبْرَاهِيمَ قَدْ رَبَطَهَا الشَّيْطَانُ طِيلَةَ ثَمَانِي عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً، أَفَمَا كَانَ يَجِبُ أَنْ تُحَلَّ مِنْ هَذَا الرِّبَاطِ فِي يَوْمِ السَّبْتِ؟»١٦
17 And He saying these things, all who were opposed to Him were being ashamed, and all the multitude were rejoicing over all the glorious things that are being done by Him.
وَإِذْ قَالَ هَذَا، خَجِلَ جَمِيعُ مُعَارِضِيهِ، وَفَرِحَ الْجَمْعُ كُلُّهُ بِجَمِيعِ الأَعْمَالِ الْمَجِيدَةِ الَّتِي كَانَ يُجْرِيهَا.١٧
18 And He said, “To what is the Kingdom of God like? And to what will I liken it?
وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ: «مَاذَا يُشْبِهُ مَلَكُوتُ اللهِ؟ وَبِمَاذَا أُشَبِّهُهُ؟١٨
19 It is like to a grain of mustard, which a man having taken, cast into his garden, and it increased, and came to a great tree, and the birds of the heavens rested in its branches.”
إِنَّهُ يُشْبِهُ بِزْرَةَ خَرْدَلٍ أَخَذَهَا إِنْسَانٌ وَأَلْقَاهَا فِي بُسْتَانِهِ، فَنَبَتَتْ وَصَارَتْ شَجَرَةً عَظِيمَةً، وَتَآوَتْ طُيُورُ السَّمَاءِ فِي أَغْصَانِهَا».١٩
20 And again He said, “To what will I liken the Kingdom of God?
وَقَالَ أَيْضاً: «بِمَاذَا أُشَبِّهُ مَلَكُوتَ اللهِ؟٢٠
21 It is like leaven, which a woman, having taken, hid in three measures of meal, until all was leavened.”
إِنَّهُ يُشْبِهُ خَمِيرَةً أَخَذَتْهَا امْرَأَةٌ وَأَخْفَتْهَا فِي ثَلاثَةِ مَقَادِيرَ مِنَ الدَّقِيقِ حَتَّى اخْتَمَرَ الْعَجِينُ كُلُّهُ!»٢١
22 And He was going through cities and villages, teaching, and making progress toward Jerusalem;
وَاجْتَازَ فِي الْمُدُنِ وَالْقُرَى وَاحِدَةً بَعْدَ الأُخْرَى، يُعَلِّمُ فِيهَا وَهُوَ مُسَافِرٌ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ.٢٢
23 and a certain one said to Him, “Lord, are those saved few?” And He said to them,
وَسَأَلَهُ أَحَدُهُمْ: «يَا سَيِّدُ، أَقَلِيلٌ عَدَدُ الَّذِينَ سَيَخْلُصُونَ؟» وَلكِنَّهُ قَالَ لِلْجَمِيعِ:٢٣
24 “Be striving to go in through the straight gate, because many, I say to you, will seek to go in, and will not be able;
«ابْذِلُوا الْجَهْدَ لِلدُّخُولِ مِنَ الْبَابِ الضَّيِّقِ، فَإِنِّي أَقُولُ لَكُمْ إِنَّ كَثِيرِينَ سَيَسْعَوْنَ إِلَى الدُّخُولِ، وَلا يَقْدِرُونَ.٢٤
25 from the time the Master of the house may have risen up, and may have shut the door, and you may begin to stand outside, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us, and He answering will say to you, I have not known you from where you are,
فَمِنْ بَعْدِ مَا يَكُونُ رَبُّ الْبَيْتِ قَدْ قَامَ وَأَغْلَقَ الْبَابَ، وَتَبْدَأُونَ بِالْوُقُوفِ خَارِجاً تَقْرَعُونَ الْبَابَ قَائِلِينَ: يَا رَبُّ افْتَحْ لَنَا! فَيُجِيبُكُمْ قَائِلاً: لَا أَعْرِفُ مِنْ أَيْنَ أَنْتُمْ!٢٥
26 then you may begin to say, We ate before You, and drank, and You taught in our broad places;
عِنْدَئِذٍ تَبْدَأُونَ تَقُولُونَ: أَكَلْنَا وَشَرِبْنَا بِحُضُورِكَ، وَعَلَّمْتَ فِي شَوَارِعِنَا!٢٦
27 and He will say, I say to you, I have not known you from where you are; depart from Me, all you workers of the unrighteousness.
وَسَوْفَ يَقُولُ: أَقُولُ لَكُمْ، لَا أَعْرِفُ مِنْ أَيْنَ أَنْتُمْ؛ اغْرُبُوا مِنْ أَمَامِي يَا جَمِيعَ فَاعِلِي الإِثْمِ!٢٧
28 There will be there the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth when you may see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the Kingdom of God, and yourselves being cast outside;
هُنَاكَ سَيَكُونُ الْبُكَاءُ وَصَرِيرُ الأَسْنَانِ، عِنْدَمَا تَرَوْنَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ وَجَمِيعَ الأَنْبِيَاءِ فِي مَلَكُوتِ اللهِ وَأَنْتُمْ مَطْرُوحُونَ خَارِجاً.٢٨
29 and they will come from east and west, and from north and south, and will recline in the Kingdom of God,
وَسَيَأْتِي أُنَاسٌ مِنَ الشَّرْقِ وَالْغَرْبِ، وَمِنَ الشِّمَالِ وَالْجَنُوبِ، وَيَتَّكِئُونَ فِي مَلَكُوتِ اللهِ.٢٩
30 and behold, there are last who will be first, and there are first who will be last.”
فَإِذاً آخِرُونَ يَصِيرُونَ أَوَّلِينَ، وَأَوَّلُونَ يَصِيرُونَ آخِرِينَ».٣٠
31 On that day there came near certain Pharisees, saying to Him, “Go forth, and be going on from here, for Herod wishes to kill You”;
فِي تِلْكَ السَّاعَةِ نَفْسِهَا، تَقَدَّمَ إِلَيْهِ بَعْضُ الْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ، قَائِلِينَ لَهُ: «انْجُ بِنَفْسِكَ! اهْرُبْ مِنْ هُنَا، فَإِنَّ هِيرُودُسَ عَازِمٌ عَلَى قَتْلِكَ».٣١
32 and He said to them, “Having gone, say to that fox, Behold, I cast forth demons, and perfect cures today and tomorrow, and the third [day] I am being perfected;
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «اذْهَبُوا، قُولُوا لِهَذَا الثَّعْلَبِ: هَا أَنَا أَطْرُدُ الشَّيَاطِينَ وَأَشْفِي الْمَرْضَى الْيَوْمَ وَغَداً. وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ يَتِمُّ بِي كُلُّ شَيْءٍ.٣٢
33 but it is necessary for Me today, and tomorrow, and the [day] following, to go on, because it is not possible for a prophet to perish out of Jerusalem.
وَلكِنْ لابُدَّ أَنْ أُكَمِّلَ مَسِيرَتِي الْيَوْمَ وَغَداً وَمَا بَعْدَهُمَا، لأَنَّهُ لَا يُمْكِنُ أَنْ يَهْلِكَ نَبِيٌّ إِلّا فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ!٣٣
34 Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that is killing the prophets, and stoning those sent to her, how often I willed to gather together your children, as a hen [gathers] her brood under the wings, and you did not will.
يَا أُورُشَلِيمُ، يَا أُورُشَلِيمُ، يَا قَاتِلَةَ الأَنْبِيَاءِ وَرَاجِمَةَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ إِلَيْهَا؛ كَمْ مَرَّةٍ أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَجْمَعَ أَوْلادَكِ مَعاً كَمَا تَجْمَعُ الدَّجَاجَةُ فِرَاخَهَا تَحْتَ جَنَاحَيْهَا، وَلكِنَّكُمْ لَمْ تُرِيدُوا!٣٤
35 Behold, your house is being left to you desolate, and truly I say to you, you may not see Me, until it may come when you may say, Blessed [is] He who is coming in the Name of the LORD.”
هَا إِنَّ بَيْتَكُمْ يُتْرَكُ لَكُمْ خَرَاباً! وَأَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّكُمْ لَنْ تَرَوْنِي أَبَداً، حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ وَقْتٌ تَقُولُونَ فِيهِ: مُبَارَكٌ الآتِي بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ!»٣٥
