Luke 11

1 One day in a place where Jesus had just finished praying, one of His disciples requested, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.”

1 وَإِذْ كَانَ يُصَلِّي فِي مَوْضِعٍ، لَمَّا فَرَغَ، قَالَ وَاحِدٌ مِنْ تَلَامِيذِهِ: «يَارَبُّ، عَلِّمْنَا أَنْ نُصَلِّيَ كَمَا عَلَّمَ يُوحَنَّا أَيْضًا تَلَامِيذَهُ».

2 So Jesus told them, “When you pray, say: ‘Father, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come.

2 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «مَتَى صَلَّيْتُمْ فَقُولُوا: أَبَانَا ٱلَّذِي فِي ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ، لِيَتَقَدَّسِ ٱسْمُكَ، لِيَأْتِ مَلَكُوتُكَ، لِتَكُنْ مَشِيئَتُكَ كَمَا فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ كَذَلِكَ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ.

3 Give us each day our daily bread.

3 خُبْزَنَا كَفَافَنَا أَعْطِنَا كُلَّ يَوْمٍ،

4 And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.’”

4 وَٱغْفِرْ لَنَا خَطَايَانَا لِأَنَّنَا نَحْنُ أَيْضًا نَغْفِرُ لِكُلِّ مَنْ يُذْنِبُ إِلَيْنَا، وَلَا تُدْخِلْنَا فِي تَجْرِبَةٍ لَكِنْ نَجِّنَا مِنَ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ».

5 Then Jesus said to them, “Suppose one of you goes to his friend at midnight and says, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,

5 ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُمْ: «مَنْ مِنْكُمْ يَكُونُ لَهُ صَدِيقٌ، وَيَمْضِي إِلَيْهِ نِصْفَ ٱللَّيْلِ، وَيَقُولُ لَهُ يَا صَدِيقُ، أَقْرِضْنِي ثَلَاثَةَ أَرْغِفَةٍ،

6 because a friend of mine has come to me on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him.’

6 لِأَنَّ صَدِيقًا لِي جَاءَنِي مِنْ سَفَرٍ، وَلَيْسَ لِي مَا أُقَدِّمُ لَهُ.

7 And suppose the one inside answers, ‘Do not bother me. My door is already shut, and my children and I are in bed. I cannot get up to give you anything.’

7 فَيُجِيبَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ دَاخِلٍ وَيَقُولَ: لَا تُزْعِجْنِي! اَلْبَابُ مُغْلَقٌ ٱلْآنَ، وَأَوْلَادِي مَعِي فِي ٱلْفِرَاشِ. لَا أَقْدِرُ أَنْ أَقُومَ وَأُعْطِيَكَ.

8 I tell you, even though he will not get up to provide for him because of his friendship, yet because of the man’s persistence, he will get up and give him as much as he needs.

8 أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: وَإِنْ كَانَ لَا يَقُومُ وَيُعْطِيهِ لِكَوْنِهِ صَدِيقَهُ، فَإِنَّهُ مِنْ أَجْلِ لَجَاجَتِهِ يَقُومُ وَيُعْطِيهِ قَدْرَ مَا يَحْتَاجُ.

9 So I tell you: Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.

9 وَأَنَا أَقُولُ لَكُمُ: ٱسْأَلُوا تُعْطَوْا، اُطْلُبُوا تَجِدُوا، اِقْرَعُوا يُفْتَحْ لَكُمْ.

10 For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

10 لِأَنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ يَسْأَلُ يَأْخُذُ، وَمَنْ يَطْلُبُ يَجِدُ، وَمَنْ يَقْرَعُ يُفْتَحُ لَهُ.

11 What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead?

11 فَمَنْ مِنْكُمْ، وَهُوَ أَبٌ، يَسْأَلُهُ ٱبْنُهُ خُبْزًا، أَفَيُعْطِيهِ حَجَرًا؟ أَوْ سَمَكَةً، أَفَيُعْطِيهِ حَيَّةً بَدَلَ ٱلسَّمَكَةِ؟

12 Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?

12 أَوْ إِذَا سَأَلَهُ بَيْضَةً، أَفَيُعْطِيهِ عَقْرَبًا؟

13 So if you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”

13 فَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ وَأَنْتُمْ أَشْرَارٌ تَعْرِفُونَ أَنْ تُعْطُوا أَوْلَادَكُمْ عَطَايَا جَيِّدَةً، فَكَمْ بِٱلْحَرِيِّ ٱلْآبُ ٱلَّذِي مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، يُعْطِي ٱلرُّوحَ ٱلْقُدُسَ لِلَّذِينَ يَسْأَلُونَهُ؟».

14 One day Jesus was driving out a demon that was mute. And when the demon was gone, the man who had been mute spoke. The crowds were amazed,

14 وَكَانَ يُخْرِجُ شَيْطَانًا، وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ أَخْرَسَ. فَلَمَّا أُخْرِجَ ٱلشَّيْطَانُ تَكَلَّمَ ٱلْأَخْرَسُ، فَتَعَجَّبَ ٱلْجُمُوعُ.

15 but some of them said, “It is by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons, that He drives out demons.”

15 وَأَمَّا قَوْمٌ مِنْهُمْ فَقَالُوا: «بِبَعْلَزَبُولَ رَئِيسِ ٱلشَّيَاطِينِ يُخْرِجُ ٱلشَّيَاطِينَ».

16 And others tested Him by demanding a sign from heaven.

16 وَآخَرُونَ طَلَبُوا مِنْهُ آيَةً مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ يُجَرِّبُونَهُ.

17 Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself will be laid waste, and a house divided against a house will fall.

17 فَعَلِمَ أَفْكَارَهُمْ، وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «كُلُّ مَمْلَكَةٍ مُنْقَسِمَةٍ عَلَى ذَاتِهَا تَخْرَبُ، وَبَيْتٍ مُنْقَسِمٍ عَلَى بَيْتٍ يَسْقُطُ.

18 If Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand? After all, you say that I drive out demons by Beelzebul.

18 فَإِنْ كَانَ ٱلشَّيْطَانُ أَيْضًا يَنْقَسِمُ عَلَى ذَاتِهِ، فَكَيْفَ تَثْبُتُ مَمْلَكَتُهُ؟ لِأَنَّكُمْ تَقُولُونَ: إِنِّي بِبَعْلَزَبُولَ أُخْرِجُ ٱلشَّيَاطِينَ.

19 And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.

19 فَإِنْ كُنْتُ أَنَا بِبَعْلَزَبُولَ أُخْرِجُ ٱلشَّيَاطِينَ، فَأَبْنَاؤُكُمْ بِمَنْ يُخْرِجُونَ؟ لِذَلِكَ هُمْ يَكُونُونَ قُضَاتَكُمْ!

20 But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

20 وَلَكِنْ إِنْ كُنْتُ بِأَصْبِعِ ٱللهِ أُخْرِجُ ٱلشَّيَاطِينَ، فَقَدْ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْكُمْ مَلَكُوتُ ٱللهِ.

21 When a strong man, fully armed, guards his house, his possessions are secure.

21 حِينَمَا يَحْفَظُ ٱلْقَوِيُّ دَارَهُ مُتَسَلِّحًا،تَكُونُ أَمْوَالُهُ فِي أَمَانٍ.

22 But when someone stronger attacks and overpowers him, he takes away the armor in which the man trusted, and then he divides up his plunder.

22 وَلَكِنْ مَتَى جَاءَ مَنْ هُوَ أَقْوَى مِنْهُ فَإِنَّهُ يَغْلِبُهُ، وَيَنْزِعُ سِلَاحَهُ ٱلْكَامِلَ ٱلَّذِي ٱتَّكَلَ عَلَيْهِ، وَيُوَزِّعُ غَنَائِمَهُ.

23 He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.

23 مَنْ لَيْسَ مَعِي فَهُوَ عَلَيَّ، وَمَنْ لَا يَجْمَعُ مَعِي فَهُوَ يُفَرِّقُ.

24 When an unclean spirit comes out of a man, it passes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’

24 مَتَى خَرَجَ ٱلرُّوحُ ٱلنَّجِسُ مِنَ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ، يَجْتَازُ فِي أَمَاكِنَ لَيْسَ فِيهَا مَاءٌ يَطْلُبُ رَاحَةً، وَإِذْ لَا يَجِدُ يَقُولُ: أَرْجِعُ إِلَى بَيْتِي ٱلَّذِي خَرَجْتُ مِنْهُ.

25 On its return, it finds the house swept clean and put in order.

25 فَيَأْتِي وَيَجِدُهُ مَكْنُوسًا مُزَيَّنًا.

26 Then it goes and brings seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and dwell there. And the final plight of that man is worse than the first.”

26 ثُمَّ يَذْهَبُ وَيَأْخُذُ سَبْعَةَ أَرْوَاحٍ أُخَرَ أَشَرَّ مِنْهُ، فَتَدْخُلُ وَتَسْكُنُ هُنَاكَ، فَتَصِيرُ أَوَاخِرُ ذَلِكَ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ أَشَرَّ مِنْ أَوَائِلِهِ!».

27 As Jesus was saying these things, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said, “Blessed is the womb that bore You, and blessed are the breasts that nursed You!”

27 وَفِيمَا هُوَ يَتَكَلَّمُ بِهَذَا، رَفَعَتِ ٱمْرَأَةٌ صَوْتَهَا مِنَ ٱلْجَمْعِ وَقَالَتْ لَهُ: «طُوبَى لِلْبَطْنِ ٱلَّذِي حَمَلَكَ وَٱلثَّدْيَيْنِ ٱللَّذَيْنِ رَضِعْتَهُمَا».

28 But He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”

28 أَمَّا هُوَ فَقَالَ: «بَلْ طُوبَى لِلَّذِينَ يَسْمَعُونَ كَلَامَ ٱللهِ وَيَحْفَظُونَهُ».

29 As the crowds were increasing, Jesus said, “This is a wicked generation. It demands a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.

29 وَفِيمَا كَانَ ٱلْجُمُوعُ مُزْدَحِمِينَ، ٱبْتَدَأَ يَقُولُ: «هَذَا ٱلْجِيلُ شِرِّيرٌ. يَطْلُبُ آيَةً، وَلَا تُعْطَى لَهُ آيَةٌ إِلَّا آيَةُ يُونَانَ ٱلنَّبِيِّ.

30 For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so the Son of Man will be a sign to this generation.

30 لِأَنَّهُ كَمَا كَانَ يُونَانُ آيَةً لِأَهْلِ نِينَوَى، كَذَلِكَ يَكُونُ ٱبْنُ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ أَيْضًا لِهَذَا ٱلْجِيلِ.

31 The Queen of the South will rise at the judgment with the men of this generation and condemn them; for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and now One greater than Solomon is here.

31 مَلِكَةُ ٱلتَّيْمَنِ سَتَقُومُ فِي ٱلدِّينِ مَعَ رِجَالِ هَذَا ٱلْجِيلِ وَتَدِينُهُمْ، لِأَنَّهَا أَتَتْ مِنْ أَقَاصِي ٱلْأَرْضِ لِتَسْمَعَ حِكْمَةَ سُلَيْمَانَ، وَهُوَذَا أَعْظَمُ مِنْ سُلَيْمَانَ هَهُنَا!

32 The men of Nineveh will stand at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now One greater than Jonah is here.

32 رِجَالُ نِينَوَى سَيَقُومُونَ فِي ٱلدِّينِ مَعَ هَذَا ٱلْجِيلِ وَيَدِينُونَهُ، لِأَنَّهُمْ تَابُوا بِمُنَادَاةِ يُونَانَ، وَهُوَذَا أَعْظَمُ مِنْ يُونَانَ هَهُنَا!

33 No one lights a lamp and puts it in a cellar or under a basket. Instead, he sets it on a stand, so those who enter can see the light.

33 «لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ يُوقِدُ سِرَاجًا وَيَضَعُهُ فِي خِفْيَةٍ، وَلَا تَحْتَ ٱلْمِكْيَالِ، بَلْ عَلَى ٱلْمَنَارَةِ، لِكَيْ يَنْظُرَ ٱلدَّاخِلُونَ ٱلنُّورَ.

34 Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are good, your whole body also is full of light. But when they are bad, your body is full of darkness.

34 سِرَاجُ ٱلْجَسَدِ هُوَ ٱلْعَيْنُ، فَمَتَى كَانَتْ عَيْنُكَ بَسِيطَةً فَجَسَدُكَ كُلُّهُ يَكُونُ نَيِّرًا، وَمَتَى كَانَتْ شِرِّيرَةً فَجَسَدُكَ يَكُونُ مُظْلِمًا.

35 Be careful, then, that the light within you is not darkness.

35 اُنْظُرْ إِذًا لِئَلَّا يَكُونَ ٱلنُّورُ ٱلَّذِي فِيكَ ظُلْمَةً.

36 So if your whole body is full of light, with no part of it in darkness, you will be radiant, as though a lamp were shining on you.”

36 فَإِنْ كَانَ جَسَدُكَ كُلُّهُ نَيِّرًا لَيْسَ فِيهِ جُزْءٌ مُظْلِمٌ، يَكُونُ نَيِّرًا كُلُّهُ، كَمَا حِينَمَا يُضِيءُ لَكَ ٱلسِّرَاجُ بِلَمَعَانِهِ».

37 As Jesus was speaking, a Pharisee invited Him to dine with him; so He went in and reclined at the table.

37 وَفِيمَا هُوَ يَتَكَلَّمُ سَأَلَهُ فَرِّيسِيٌّ أَنْ يَتَغَدَّى عِنْدَهُ، فَدَخَلَ وَاتَّكَأَ.

38 But the Pharisee was surprised to see that Jesus did not first wash before the meal.

38 وَأَمَّا ٱلْفَرِّيسِيُّ فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذَلِكَ تَعَجَّبَ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَغْتَسِلْ أَوَّلًا قَبْلَ ٱلْغَدَاءِ.

39 Then the Lord said, “Now you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.

39 فَقَالَ لَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ: «أَنْتُمُ ٱلْآنَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ تُنَقُّونَ خَارِجَ ٱلْكَأْسِ وَٱلْقَصْعَةِ، وَأَمَّا بَاطِنُكُمْ فَمَمْلُوءٌ ٱخْتِطَافًا وَخُبْثًا.

40 You fools! Did not the One who made the outside make the inside as well?

40 يَا أَغْبِيَاءُ، أَلَيْسَ ٱلَّذِي صَنَعَ ٱلْخَارِجَ صَنَعَ ٱلدَّاخِلَ أَيْضًا؟

41 But give as alms the things that are within you, and behold, everything will be clean for you.

41 بَلْ أَعْطُوا مَا عِنْدَكُمْ صَدَقَةً، فَهُوَذَا كُلُّ شَيْءٍ يَكُونُ نَقِيًّا لَكُمْ.

42 Woe to you Pharisees! For you pay tithes of mint, rue, and every herb, but you disregard justice and the love of God. You should have practiced the latter without neglecting the former.

42 وَلَكِنْ وَيْلٌ لَكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ! لِأَنَّكُمْ تُعَشِّرُونَ ٱلنَّعْنَعَ وَٱلسَّذَابَ وَكُلَّ بَقْلٍ، وَتَتَجَاوَزُونَ عَنِ ٱلْحَقِّ وَمَحَبَّةِ ٱللهِ. كَانَ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ تَعْمَلُوا هَذِهِ وَلَا تَتْرُكُوا تِلْكَ.

43 Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the chief seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.

43 وَيْلٌ لَكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ! لِأَنَّكُمْ تُحِبُّونَ ٱلْمَجْلِسَ ٱلْأَوَّلَ فِي ٱلْمَجَامِعِ، وَٱلتَّحِيَّاتِ فِي ٱلْأَسْوَاقِ.

44 Woe to you! For you are like unmarked graves, which men walk over without even noticing.”

44 وَيْلٌ لَكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْكَتَبَةُ وَٱلْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ ٱلْمُرَاؤُونَ! لِأَنَّكُمْ مِثْلُ ٱلْقُبُورِ ٱلْمُخْتَفِيَةِ، وَٱلَّذِينَ يَمْشُونَ عَلَيْهَا لَا يَعْلَمُونَ!».

45 One of the experts in the law told Him, “Teacher, when You say these things, You insult us as well.”

45 فَأجَابَ وَاحِدٌ مِنَ ٱلنَّامُوسِيِّينَ وَقالَ لَهُ: «يَا مُعَلِّمُ، حِينَ تَقُولُ هَذَا تَشْتُمُنَا نَحْنُ أَيْضًا!».

46 “Woe to you as well, experts in the law!” He replied. “For you weigh men down with heavy burdens, but you yourselves will not lift a finger to lighten their load.

46 فَقَالَ: «وَوَيْلٌ لَكُمْ أَنْتُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلنَّامُوسِيُّونَ! لِأَنَّكُمْ تُحَمِّلُونَ ٱلنَّاسَ أَحْمَالًا عَسِرَةَ ٱلْحَمْلِ وَأَنْتُمْ لَا تَمَسُّونَ ٱلْأَحْمَالَ بِإِحْدَى أَصَابِعِكُمْ.

47 Woe to you! For you build tombs for the prophets, but it was your fathers who killed them.

47 وَيْلٌ لَكُمْ! لِأَنَّكُمْ تَبْنُونَ قُبُورَ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ، وَآبَاؤُكُمْ قَتَلُوهُمْ.

48 So you are witnesses consenting to the deeds of your fathers: They killed the prophets, and you build their tombs.

48 إِذًا تَشْهَدُونَ وَتَرْضَوْنَ بِأَعْمَالِ آبَائِكُمْ، لِأَنَّهُمْ هُمْ قَتَلُوهُمْ وَأَنْتُمْ تَبْنُونَ قُبُورَهُمْ.

49 Because of this, the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles; some of them they will kill and others they will persecute.’

49 لِذَلِكَ أَيْضًا قَالَتْ حِكْمَةُ ٱللهِ: إِنِّي أُرْسِلُ إِلَيْهِمْ أَنْبِيَاءَ وَرُسُلًا، فَيَقْتُلُونَ مِنْهُمْ وَيَطْرُدُونَ،

50 As a result, this generation will be charged with the blood of all the prophets that has been shed since the foundation of the world,

50 لِكَيْ يُطْلَبَ مِنْ هَذَا ٱلْجِيلِ دَمُ جَمِيعِ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ ٱلْمُهْرَقُ مُنْذُ إِنْشَاءِ ٱلْعَالَمِ،

51 from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who was killed between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, all of it will be charged to this generation.

51 مِنْ دَمِ هَابِيلَ إِلَى دَمِ زَكَرِيَّا ٱلَّذِي أُهْلِكَ بَيْنَ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ وَٱلْبَيْتِ. نَعَمْ، أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّهُ يُطْلَبُ مِنْ هَذَا ٱلْجِيلِ!

52 Woe to you experts in the law! For you have taken away the key to knowledge. You yourselves have not entered, and you have hindered those who were entering.”

52 وَيْلٌ لَكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلنَّامُوسِيُّونَ! لِأَنَّكُمْ أَخَذْتُمْ مِفْتَاحَ ٱلْمَعْرِفَةِ. مَا دَخَلْتُمْ أَنْتُمْ، وَٱلدَّاخِلُونَ مَنَعْتُمُوهُمْ».

53 As Jesus went on from there, the scribes and Pharisees began to oppose Him bitterly and to ply Him with questions about many things,

53 وَفِيمَا هُوَ يُكَلِّمُهُمْ بِهَذَا، ٱبْتَدَأَ ٱلْكَتَبَةُ وَٱلْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ يَحْنَقُونَ جِدًّا، وَيُصَادِرُونَهُ عَلَى أُمُورٍ كَثِيرَةٍ،

54 waiting to catch Him in something He might say.

54 وَهُمْ يُرَاقِبُونَهُ طَالِبِينَ أَنْ يَصْطَادُوا شَيْئًا مِنْ فَمِهِ لِكَيْ يَشْتَكُوا عَلَيْهِ.
