Matthew 11
1 When Jesus had finished directing his twelve disciples, he departed from there to teach and preach in their cities.
| بَعْدَمَا انْتَهَى يَسُوعُ مِنْ تَوْصِيَةِ تَلامِيذِهِ الاثْنَيْ عَشَرَ، انْتَقَلَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ، وَذَهَبَ يُعَلِّمُ وَيُبَشِّرُ فِي مُدُنِهِمْ. | ١ |
2 Now when John heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples
| وَلَمَّا سَمِعَ يُوحَنَّا، وَهُوَ فِي السِّجْنِ، بِأَعْمَالِ الْمَسِيحِ، أَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ بَعْضَ تَلامِيذِهِ، | ٢ |
3 and said to him, “Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?”
| يَسْأَلُهُ: «أَأَنْتَ هُوَ الآتِي، أَمْ نَنْتَظِرُ غَيْرَكَ؟» | ٣ |
4 Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John the things which you hear and see:
| فَأَجَابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ قَائِلاً: «اذْهَبُوا أَخْبِرُوا يُوحَنَّا بِمَا تَسْمَعُونَ وَتَرَوْنَ: | ٤ |
5 the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.
| الْعُمْيُ يُبْصِرُونَ، وَالْعُرْجُ يَمْشُونَ، وَالْبُرْصُ يُطَهَّرُونَ، وَالصُّمُّ يَسْمَعُونَ، وَالْمَوْتَى يُقَامُونَ، وَالْمَسَاكِينُ يُبَشَّرُونَ. | ٥ |
6 Blessed is he who finds no occasion for stumbling in me.”
| وَطُوبَى لِمَنْ لَا يَشُكُّ فِيَّ!» | ٦ |
7 As these went their way, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John, “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
| وَمَا إِنِ انْصَرَفَ تَلامِيذُ يُوحَنَّا، حَتَّى أَخَذَ يَسُوعُ يَتَحَدَّثُ إِلَى الْجُمُوعِ عَنْ يُوحَنَّا: «مَاذَا خَرَجْتُمْ إِلَى الْبَرِّيَّةِ لِتَرَوْا؟ أَقَصَبَةً تَهُزُّهَا الرِّيَاحُ؟ | ٧ |
8 But what did you go out to see? A man in soft clothing? Behold, those who wear soft clothing are in kings’ houses.
| بَلْ مَاذَا خَرَجْتُمْ لِتَرَوْا: أَإِنْسَاناً يَلْبَسُ ثِيَاباً نَاعِمَةً؟ هَا إِنَّ لابِسِي الثِّيَابِ النَّاعِمَةِ هُمْ فِي قُصُورِ الْمُلُوكِ! | ٨ |
9 But why did you go out? To see a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.
| إِذَنْ، مَاذَا خَرَجْتُمْ لِتَرَوْا؟ أَنَبِيًّا؟ نَعَمْ، أَقُولُ لَكُمْ، وَأَعْظَمَ مِنْ نَبِيٍّ. | ٩ |
10 For this is he, of whom it is written, ‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’
| فَهَذَا هُوَ الَّذِي كُتِبَ عَنْهُ: هَا إِنِّي مُرْسِلٌ قُدَّامَكَ رَسُولِي الَّذِي يُمَهِّدُ لَكَ طَرِيقَكَ! | ١٠ |
11 Most certainly I tell you, among those who are born of women there has not arisen anyone greater than John the Baptizer; yet he who is least in the Kingdom of Heaven is greater than he.
| الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَظْهَرْ بَيْنَ مَنْ وَلَدَتْهُمْ النِّسَاءُ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ يُوحَنَّا الْمَعْمَدَانِ. وَلَكِنَّ الأَصْغَرَ فِي مَلَكُوتِ السَّمَاوَاتِ أَعْظَمُ مِنْهُ! | ١١ |
12 From the days of John the Baptizer until now, the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.
| فَمُنْذُ أَنْ بَدَأَ يُوحَنَّا الْمَعْمَدَانُ خِدْمَتَهُ وَالنَّاسُ يَسْعَوْنَ جَاهِدِينِ لِدُخُولِ مَلَكُوتِ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالسَّاعُونَ يَدْخُلُونَهُ بِمَشَقَّةٍ! | ١٢ |
13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
| فَإِنَّ الشَّرِيعَةَ وَالأَنْبِيَاءَ تَنَبَّأُوا جَمِيعاً حَتَّى ظُهُورِ يُوحَنَّا. | ١٣ |
14 If you are willing to receive it, this is Elijah, who is to come.
| وَإِنْ شِئْتُمْ أَنْ تُصَدِّقُوا، فَإِنَّ يُوحَنَّا هَذَا، هُوَ إِيلِيَّا الَّذِي كَانَ رُجُوعُهُ مُنْتَظَراً. | ١٤ |
15 He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
| وَمَنْ لَهُ أُذُنَانِ، فَلْيَسْمَعْ! | ١٥ |
16 “But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces, who call to their companions
| وَلَكِنْ، بِمَنْ أُشَبِّهُ هَذَا الْجِيلَ؟ إِنَّهُمْ يُشْبِهُونَ أَوْلاداً جَالِسِينَ فِي السَّاحَاتِ الْعَامَّةِ، يُنَادُونَ أَصْحَابَهُمْ قَائِلِينَ: | ١٦ |
17 and say, ‘We played the flute for you, and you didn’t dance. We mourned for you, and you didn’t lament.’
| زَمَّرْنَا لَكُمْ، فَلَمْ تَرْقُصُوا! وَنَدَبْنَا لَكُمْ، فَلَمْ تَبْكُوا! | ١٧ |
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’
| فَقَدْ جَاءَ يُوحَنَّا لَا يَأْكُلُ وَلا يَشْرَبُ، فَقَالُوا: إِنَّ شَيْطَاناً يَسْكُنُهُ! | ١٨ |
19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Behold, a gluttonous man and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ But wisdom is justified by her children.”
| ثُمَّ جَاءَ ابْنُ الإِنْسَانِ يَأْكُلُ وَيَشْرَبُ، فَقَالُوا: هَذَا رَجُلٌ شَرِهٌ وَسِكِّيرٌ، صَدِيقٌ لِجُبَاةِ الضَّرَائِبِ وَالْخَاطِئِينَ. وَلَكِنْ تُخْتَبَرُ الْحِكْمَةُ بِأَعْمَالِها». | ١٩ |
20 Then he began to denounce the cities in which most of his mighty works had been done, because they didn’t repent.
| ثُمَّ بَدَأَ يَسُوعُ يُوَبِّخُ الْمُدُنَ الَّتِي جَرَتْ فِيهَا أَكْثَرُ مُعْجِزَاتِهِ، لِكَوْنِ أَهْلِهَا لَمْ يَتُوبُوا. | ٢٠ |
21 “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon which were done in you, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
| فَقَالَ: «الْوَيْلُ لَكِ يَا كُورَزِينُ! الْوَيْلُ لَكِ يَا بَيْتَ صَيْدَا! فَلَوْ أُجْرِيَ فِي صُورَ وَصَيْدَا مَا أُجْرِيَ فِيكُمَا مِنَ الْمُعْجِزَاتِ، لَتَابَ أَهْلُهُمَا مُنْذُ الْقَدِيمِ لابِسِينَ الْمُسُوحَ فِي وَسَطِ الرَّمَادِ. | ٢١ |
22 But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.
| وَلَكِنِّي أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ حَالَةَ صُورَ وَصَيْدَا فِي الدَّيْنُونَةِ، سَتَكُونُ أَكْثَرَ احْتِمَالاً مِنْ حَالَتِكُمَا! | ٢٢ |
23 You, Capernaum, who are exalted to heaven, you will go down to Hades. For if the mighty works had been done in Sodom which were done in you, it would have remained until today. (Hadēs g86)
| وَأَنْتِ يَا كَفْرَنَاحُومَ: هَلِ ارْتَفَعْتِ حَتَّى السَّمَاءِ؟ إِنَّكِ إِلَى قَعْرِ الْهَاوِيَةِ سَتُهْبَطِينَ. فَلَوْ جَرَى فِي سَدُومَ مَا جَرَى فِيكِ مِنَ الْمُعْجِزَاتِ، لَبَقِيَتْ حَتَّى الْيَوْمِ. (Hadēs g86) | ٢٣ |
24 But I tell you that it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom on the day of judgment, than for you.”
| وَلَكِنِّي أَقُولُ لَكُمْ إِنَّ مَصِيرَ سَدُومَ فِي يَوْمِ الدَّيْنُونَةِ، سَيَكُونُ أَكْثَرَ احْتِمَالاً مِنْ حَالَتِكِ!» | ٢٤ |
25 At that time, Jesus answered, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you hid these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to infants.
| وَفِي ذَلِكَ الْوَقْتِ، تَكَلَّمَ يَسُوعُ فَقَالَ: «أَحْمَدُكَ أَيُّهَا الآبُ، رَبَّ السَّمَاءِ وَالأَرْضِ، لأَنَّكَ حَجَبْتَ هَذِهِ الأُمُورَ عَنِ الْحُكَمَاءِ وَالْفُهَمَاءِ، وَكَشَفْتَهَا لِلأَطْفَالِ! | ٢٥ |
26 Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight.
| نَعَمْ أَيُّهَا الآبُ، لأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا حَسُنَ فِي نَظَرِكَ. | ٢٦ |
27 All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows the Son, except the Father; neither does anyone know the Father, except the Son and he to whom the Son desires to reveal him.
| كُلُّ شَيْءٍ قَدْ سَلَّمَهُ إِلَيَّ أَبِي. وَلا أَحَدٌ يَعْرِفُ الاِبْنَ إِلّا الآبُ، وَلا أَحَدٌ يَعْرِفُ الآبَ إِلّا الاِبْنُ، وَمَنْ أَرَادَ الاِبْنُ أَنْ يُعْلِنَهُ لَهُ. | ٢٧ |
28 “Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.
| تَعَالَوْا إِلَيَّ يَا جَمِيعَ الْمُتْعَبِينَ وَالثَّقِيلِي الأَحْمَالِ، وَأَنَا أُرِيحُكُمْ. | ٢٨ |
29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you will find rest for your souls.
| اِحْمِلُوا نِيرِي عَلَيْكُمْ، وَتعَلَّمُوا مِنِّي، لأَنِّي وَدِيعٌ وَمُتَوَاضِعُ الْقَلْبِ، فَتَجِدُوا الرَّاحَةَ لِنُفُوسِكُمْ. | ٢٩ |
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
| فَإِنَّ نِيرِي هَيِّنٌ، وَحِمْلِي خَفِيفٌ!» | ٣٠ |
