Luke 13

There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilæans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.

وَكَانَ حَاضِرًا فِي ذلِكَ الْوَقْتِ قَوْمٌ يُخْبِرُونَهُ عَنِ الْجَلِيلِيِّينَ الَّذِينَ خَلَطَ بِيلاَطُسُ دَمَهُمْ بِذَبَائِحِهِمْ.

And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilæans were sinners above all the Galilæans, because they suffered such things?

فَأجَابَ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ:«أَتَظُنُّونَ أَنَّ هؤُلاَءِ الْجَلِيلِيِّينَ كَانُوا خُطَاةً أَكْثَرَ مِنْ كُلِّ الْجَلِيلِيِّينَ لأَنَّهُمْ كَابَدُوا مِثْلَ هذَا؟

I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

كَلاَّ! أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: بَلْ إِنْ لَمْ تَتُوبُوا فَجَمِيعُكُمْ كَذلِكَ تَهْلِكُونَ.

Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?

أَوْ أُولئِكَ الثَّمَانِيَةَ عَشَرَ الَّذِينَ سَقَطَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْبُرْجُ فِي سِلْوَامَ وَقَتَلَهُمْ، أَتَظُنُّونَ أَنَّ هؤُلاَءِ كَانُوا مُذْنِبِينَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ النَّاسِ السَّاكِنِينَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ؟

I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

كَلاَّ! أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: بَلْ إِنْ لَمْ تَتُوبُوا فَجَمِيعُكُمْ كَذلِكَ تَهْلِكُونَ».

He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none.

وَقَالَ هذَا الْمَثَلَ:«كَانَتْ لِوَاحِدٍ شَجَرَةُ تِينٍ مَغْرُوسَةٌ فِي كَرْمِهِ، فَأَتَى يَطْلُبُ فِيهَا ثَمَرًا وَلَمْ يَجِدْ.

Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?

فَقَالَ لِلْكَرَّامِ: هُوَذَا ثَلاَثُ سِنِينَ آتِي أَطْلُبُ ثَمَرًا فِي هذِهِ التِّينَةِ وَلَمْ أَجِدْ. اِقْطَعْهَا! لِمَاذَا تُبَطِّلُ الأَرْضَ أَيْضًا؟

And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it:

فَأَجَابَ وَقَالَ لَهُ: يَا سَيِّدُ، اتْرُكْهَا هذِهِ السَّنَةَ أَيْضًا، حَتَّى أَنْقُبَ حَوْلَهَا وَأَضَعَ زِبْلاً.

And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.

فَإِنْ صَنَعَتْ ثَمَرًا، وَإِلاَّ فَفِيمَا بَعْدُ تَقْطَعُهَا».

And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.

وَكَانَ يُعَلِّمُ فِي أَحَدِ الْمَجَامِعِ فِي السَّبْتِ،

And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself.

وَإِذَا امْرَأَةٌ كَانَ بِهَا رُوحُ ضَعْفٍ ثَمَانِيَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً، وَكَانَتْ مُنْحَنِيَةً وَلَمْ تَقْدِرْ أَنْ تَنْتَصِبَ الْبَتَّةَ.

And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.

فَلَمَّا رَآهَا يَسُوعُ دَعَاهَا وَقَالَ لَهَا:«يَا امْرَأَةُ، إِنَّكِ مَحْلُولَةٌ مِنْ ضَعْفِكِ!».

And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.

وَوَضَعَ عَلَيْهَا يَدَيْهِ، فَفِي الْحَالِ اسْتَقَامَتْ وَمَجَّدَتِ اللهَ.

And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day.

فَأَجابَ رَئِيسُ الْمَجْمَعِ، وَهُوَ مُغْتَاظٌ لأَنَّ يَسُوعَ أَبْرَأَ فِي السَّبْتِ، وَقَالَ لِلْجَمْعِ:«هِيَ سِتَّةُ أَيَّامٍ يَنْبَغِي فِيهَا الْعَمَلُ، فَفِي هذِهِ ائْتُوا وَاسْتَشْفُوا، وَلَيْسَ فِي يَوْمِ السَّبْتِ!»

The Lord then answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering?

فَأَجَابَهُ الرَّبُّ وَقَالَ:«يَا مُرَائِي! أَلاَ يَحُلُّ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُمْ فِي السَّبْتِ ثَوْرَهُ أَوْ حِمَارَهُ مِنَ الْمِذْوَدِ وَيَمْضِي بِهِ وَيَسْقِيهِ؟

And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?

وَهذِهِ، وَهِيَ ابْنَةُ إِبْراهِيمَ، قَدْ رَبَطَهَا الشَّيْطَانُ ثَمَانِيَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً، أَمَا كَانَ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ تُحَلَّ مِنْ هذَا الرِّبَاطِ فِي يَوْمِ السَّبْتِ؟»

And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.

وَإِذْ قَالَ هذَا أُخْجِلَ جَمِيعُ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا يُعَانِدُونَهُ، وَفَرِحَ كُلُّ الْجَمْعِ بِجَمِيعِ الأَعْمَالِ الْمَجِيدَةِ الْكَائِنَةِ مِنْهُ.

Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I resemble it?

فَقَالَ:«مَاذَا يُشْبِهُ مَلَكُوتُ اللهِ؟ وَبِمَاذَا أُشَبِّهُهُ؟

It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.

يُشْبِهُ حَبَّةَ خَرْدَل أَخَذَهَا إِنْسَانٌ وَأَلْقَاهَا فِي بُسْتَانِهِ، فَنَمَتْ وَصَارَتْ شَجَرَةً كَبِيرَةً، وَتَآوَتْ طُيُورُ السَّمَاءِ فِي أَغْصَانِهَا».

And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God?

وَقَالَ أَيْضًا:«بِمَاذَا أُشَبِّهُ مَلَكُوتَ اللهِ؟

It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.

يُشْبِهُ خَمِيرَةً أَخَذَتْهَا امْرَأَةٌ وَخَبَّأَتْهَا فِي ثَلاَثَةِ أَكْيَالِ دَقِيق حَتَّى اخْتَمَرَ الْجَمِيعُ».

And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem.

وَاجْتَازَ فِي مُدُنٍ وَقُرًى يُعَلِّمُ وَيُسَافِرُ نَحْوَ أُورُشَلِيمَ،

Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them,

فَقَالَ لَهُ وَاحِدٌ:«يَا سَيِّدُ، أَقَلِيلٌ هُمُ الَّذِينَ يَخْلُصُونَ؟» فَقَالَ لَهُمُ:

Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.

«اجْتَهِدُوا أَنْ تَدْخُلُوا مِنَ الْبَابِ الضَّيِّقِ، فَإِنِّي أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ كَثِيرِينَ سَيَطْلُبُونَ أَنْ يَدْخُلُوا وَلاَ يَقْدِرُونَ

When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:

مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا يَكُونُ رَبُّ الْبَيْتِ قَدْ قَامَ وَأَغْلَقَ الْبَابَ، وَابْتَدَأْتُمْ تَقِفُونَ خَارِجًا وَتَقْرَعُونَ الْبَابَ قَائِلِينَ: يَارَبُّ، يَارَبُّ! افْتَحْ لَنَا. يُجِيبُ، وَيَقُولُ لَكُمْ: لاَ أَعْرِفُكُمْ مِنْ أَيْنَ أَنْتُمْ!

Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.

حِينَئِذٍ تَبْتَدِئُونَ تَقُولُونَ: أَكَلْنَا قُدَّامَكَ وَشَرِبْنَا، وَعَلَّمْتَ فِي شَوَارِعِنَا!

But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.

فَيَقُولُ: أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: لاَأَعْرِفُكُمْ مِنْ أَيْنَ أَنْتُمْ، تَبَاعَدُوا عَنِّي يَا جَمِيعَ فَاعِلِي الظُّلْمِ!

There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.

هُنَاكَ يَكُونُ الْبُكَاءُ وَصَرِيرُ الأَسْنَانِ، مَتَى رَأَيْتُمْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ وَجَمِيعَ الأَنْبِيَاءِ فِي مَلَكُوتِ اللهِ، وَأَنْتُمْ مَطْرُوحُونَ خَارِجًا.

And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God.

وَيَأْتُونَ مِنَ الْمَشَارِقِ وَمِنَ الْمَغَارِبِ وَمِنَ الشِّمَالِ وَالْجَنُوبِ، وَيَتَّكِئُونَ فِي مَلَكُوتِ اللهِ.

And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last.

وَهُوَذَا آخِرُونَ يَكُونُونَ أَوَّلِينَ، وَأَوَّلُونَ يَكُونُونَ آخِرِينَ».

The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying unto him, Get thee out, and depart hence: for Herod will kill thee.

فِي ذلِكَ الْيَوْمِ تَقَدَّمَ بَعْضُ الْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ قَائِلِينَ لَهُ:«اخْرُجْ وَاذْهَبْ مِنْ ههُنَا، لأَنَّ هِيرُودُسَ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَقْتُلَكَ».

And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third day I shall be perfected.

فَقَالَ لَهُمُ: «امْضُوا وَقُولُوا لِهذَا الثَّعْلَبِ: هَا أَنَا أُخْرِجُ شَيَاطِينَ، وَأَشْفِي الْيَوْمَ وَغَدًا، وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ أُكَمَّلُ.

Nevertheless I must walk to day, and to morrow, and the day following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem.

بَلْ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ أَسِيرَ الْيَوْمَ وَغَدًا وَمَا يَلِيهِ، لأَنَّهُ لاَ يُمْكِنُ أَنْ يَهْلِكَ نَبِيٌّ خَارِجًا عَنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ!

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not!

يَا أُورُشَلِيمُ، يَاأُورُشَلِيمُ! يَا قَاتِلَةَ الأَنْبِيَاءِ وَرَاجِمَةَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ إِلَيْهَا، كَمْ مَرَّةٍ أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَجْمَعَ أَوْلاَدَكِ كَمَا تَجْمَعُ الدَّجَاجَةُ فِرَاخَهَا تَحْتَ جَنَاحَيْهَا، وَلَمْ تُرِيدُوا!

Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

هُوَذَا بَيْتُكُمْ يُتْرَكُ لَكُمْ خَرَابًا! وَالْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّكُمْ لاَ تَرَوْنَنِي حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ وَقْتٌ تَقُولُونَ فِيهِ: مُبَارَكٌالآتِي بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ!».
