Luke 13

1 At that time some of those present told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.

1 وَفِي ذلِكَ الْوَقْتِ عَيْنِهِ، حَضَرَ بَعْضُهُمْ وَأَخْبَرُوهُ عَنْ أَهْلِ الْجَليلِ الَّذِينَ قَتَلَهُمْ بِيلاطُسُ فَخَلَطَ دِمَاءَهُمْ بِدِمَاءِ ذَبَائِحِهِمْ.

2 To this He replied, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered this way?

2 فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِمْ قَائِلاً: «أَتَظُنُّونَ أَنَّ هَؤُلاءِ الْجَلِيلِيِّينَ كَانُوا خَاطِئِينَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَلِيلِ الْبَاقِينَ حَتَّى لاقَوْا هَذَا الْمَصِيرَ؟

3 No, I tell you. But unless you repent, you too will all perish.

3 أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: لا، وَلكِنْ إِنْ لَمْ تَتُوبُوا أَنْتُمْ فَجَمِيعُكُمْ كَذَلِكَ تَهْلِكُونَ!

4 Or those eighteen who were killed when the tower of Siloam collapsed on them: Do you think that they were more sinful than all the others living in Jerusalem?

4 أَمْ تَظُنُّونَ أَنَّ الثَّمَانِيَةَ عَشَرَ الَّذِينَ سَقَطَ عَلَيْهِمِ الْبُرْجُ فِي سِلْوَامَ فَقَتَلَهُمْ، كَانُوا مُذْنِبِينَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ السَّاكِنِينَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ؟

5 No, I tell you. But unless you repent, you too will all perish.”

5 أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: لا، وَلكِنْ إِنْ لَمْ تَتُوبُوا أَنْتُمْ فَجَمِيعُكُمْ كَذلِكَ تَهْلِكُونَ!»

6 Then Jesus told this parable: “A man had a fig tree that was planted in his vineyard. He went to look for fruit on it but did not find any.

6 ثُمَّ ضَرَبَ هَذَا الْمَثَلَ: «كَانَ عِنْدَ أَحَدِهِمْ شَجَرَةُ تِينٍ مَغْرُوسَةٌ فِي كَرْمِهِ. فَجَاءَهَا طَلَباً لِلثَّمَرِ، فَمَا وَجَدَ شَيْئاً.

7 So he said to the keeper of the vineyard, ‘Look, for the past three years I have come to search for fruit on this fig tree and haven’t found any. Therefore cut it down! Why should it use up the soil?’

7 فَقَالَ لِلْمُزَارِعِ: هذِهِ ثَلاثُ سِنِينَ وَأَنَا أَقْصِدُ هذِهِ التِّيِنَةَ طَلَباً لِلثَّمَرِ فَلا أَجِدُ شَيْئاً: اقْطَعْهَا، لِمَاذَا نَتْرُكُهَا تُعَطِّلُ الأَرْضَ؟

8 ‘Sir,’ the man replied, ‘leave it alone again this year, until I dig around it and fertilize it.

8 وَلكِنَّ الْمُزَارِعَ أَجَابَهُ قَائِلاً: يَا سَيِّدُ اتْرُكْهَا هذِهِ السَّنَةَ أَيْضاً، حَتَّى أَنْقُبَ التُّرْبَةَ مِنْ حَوْلِهَا وَأَضَعَ سَمَاداً.

9 If it bears fruit next year, fine. But if not, you can cut it down.’”

9 فَلَعَلَّهَا تُنْتِجُ ثَمَراً! وَإلَّا، فَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ تَقْطَعُهَا!»

10 One Sabbath Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues,

10 وَكَانَ يُعَلِّمُ فِي أَحَدِ الْمَجَامِعِ ذَاتَ سَبْتٍ.

11 and a woman there had been disabled by a spirit for eighteen years. She was hunched over and could not stand up straight.

11 وَإذَا هُنَاكَ امْرَأَةٌ كَانَ قَدْ سَكَنَهَا رُوحٌ فَأَمْرَضَهَا طِيلَةَ ثَمَانِي عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً. وَكَانَتْ حَدْبَاءَ لَا تَقْدِرُ أَنْ تَنْتَصِبَ أَبَداً.

12 When Jesus saw her, He called her over and said, “Woman, you are set free from your disability.”

12 فَلَمَّا رَآهَا يَسُوعُ، دَعَاهَا، وَقَالَ لَهَا: «يَا امْرَأَةُ، أَنْتِ فِي حِلٍّ مِنْ دَائِكِ!»

13 Then He placed His hands on her, and immediately she straightened up and began to glorify God.

13 وَوَضَعَ يَدَيْهِ عَلَيْهَا، فَعَادَتْ مُسْتَقِيمَةً فِي الْحَالِ، وَمَجَّدَتِ اللهَ!

14 But the synagogue leader was indignant that Jesus had healed on the Sabbath. “There are six days for work,” he told the crowd. “So come and be healed on those days and not on the Sabbath.”

14 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!»

15 “You hypocrites!” the Lord replied. “Does not each of you on the Sabbath untie his ox or donkey from the stall and lead it to water?

15 فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِ الرَّبُّ قَائِلاً: «يَا مُنَافِقُونَ! أَلّا يَحُلُّ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُمْ يَوْمَ السَّبْتِ رِبَاطَ ثَوْرِهِ أَوْ حِمَارِهِ مِنَ الْمِذْوَدِ وَيَذْهَبُ بِهِ فَيَسْقِيهِ!

16 Then should not this daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has kept bound for eighteen long years, be released from her bondage on the Sabbath day?”

16 وَأَمَّا هذِهِ الْمَرْأَةُ، وَهِيَ ابْنَةٌ لإِبْرَاهِيمَ قَدْ رَبَطَهَا الشَّيْطَانُ طِيلَةَ ثَمَانِي عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً، أَفَمَا كَانَ يَجِبُ أَنْ تُحَلَّ مِنْ هَذَا الرِّبَاطِ فِي يَوْمِ السَّبْتِ؟»

17 When Jesus said this, all His adversaries were humiliated. And the whole crowd rejoiced at all the glorious things He was doing.

17 وَإِذْ قَالَ هَذَا، خَجِلَ جَمِيعُ مُعَارِضِيهِ، وَفَرِحَ الْجَمْعُ كُلُّهُ بِجَمِيعِ الأَعْمَالِ الْمَجِيدَةِ الَّتِي كَانَ يُجْرِيهَا.

18 Then Jesus asked, “What is the kingdom of God like? To what can I compare it?

18 وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ: «مَاذَا يُشْبِهُ مَلَكُوتُ اللهِ؟ وَبِمَاذَا أُشَبِّهُهُ؟

19 It is like a mustard seed that a man tossed into his garden. It grew and became a tree, and the birds of the air nested in its branches.”

19 إِنَّهُ يُشْبِهُ بِزْرَةَ خَرْدَلٍ أَخَذَهَا إِنْسَانٌ وَأَلْقَاهَا فِي بُسْتَانِهِ، فَنَبَتَتْ وَصَارَتْ شَجَرَةً عَظِيمَةً، وَتَآوَتْ طُيُورُ السَّمَاءِ فِي أَغْصَانِهَا».

20 Again He asked, “To what can I compare the kingdom of God?

20 وَقَالَ أَيْضاً: «بِمَاذَا أُشَبِّهُ مَلَكُوتَ اللهِ؟

21 It is like leaven that a woman took and mixed into three measures of flour, until all of it was leavened.”

21 إِنَّهُ يُشْبِهُ خَمِيرَةً أَخَذَتْهَا امْرَأَةٌ وَأَخْفَتْهَا فِي ثَلاثَةِ مَقَادِيرَ مِنَ الدَّقِيقِ حَتَّى اخْتَمَرَ الْعَجِينُ كُلُّهُ!»

22 Then Jesus traveled throughout the towns and villages, teaching as He made His way toward Jerusalem.

22 وَاجْتَازَ فِي الْمُدُنِ وَالْقُرَى وَاحِدَةً بَعْدَ الأُخْرَى، يُعَلِّمُ فِيهَا وَهُوَ مُسَافِرٌ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ.

23 “Lord,” someone asked Him, “will only a few people be saved?” Jesus answered,

23 وَسَأَلَهُ أَحَدُهُمْ: «يَا سَيِّدُ، أَقَلِيلٌ عَدَدُ الَّذِينَ سَيَخْلُصُونَ؟» وَلكِنَّهُ قَالَ لِلْجَمِيعِ:

24 “Make every effort to enter through the narrow door. For many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able.

24 «ابْذِلُوا الْجَهْدَ لِلدُّخُولِ مِنَ الْبَابِ الضَّيِّقِ، فَإِنِّي أَقُولُ لَكُمْ إِنَّ كَثِيرِينَ سَيَسْعَوْنَ إِلَى الدُّخُولِ، وَلا يَقْدِرُونَ.

25 After the master of the house gets up and shuts the door, you will stand outside knocking and saying, ‘Lord, open the door for us.’ But he will reply, ‘I do not know where you are from.’

25 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!

26 Then you will say, ‘We ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets.’

26 عِنْدَئِذٍ تَبْدَأُونَ تَقُولُونَ: أَكَلْنَا وَشَرِبْنَا بِحُضُورِكَ، وَعَلَّمْتَ فِي شَوَارِعِنَا!

27 And he will answer, ‘I tell you, I do not know where you are from. Depart from me, all you evildoers.’

27 وَسَوْفَ يَقُولُ: أَقُولُ لَكُمْ، لَا أَعْرِفُ مِنْ أَيْنَ أَنْتُمْ؛ اغْرُبُوا مِنْ أَمَامِي يَا جَمِيعَ فَاعِلِي الإِثْمِ!

28 There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but you yourselves are thrown out.

28 هُنَاكَ سَيَكُونُ الْبُكَاءُ وَصَرِيرُ الأَسْنَانِ، عِنْدَمَا تَرَوْنَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ وَجَمِيعَ الأَنْبِيَاءِ فِي مَلَكُوتِ اللهِ وَأَنْتُمْ مَطْرُوحُونَ خَارِجاً.

29 People will come from east and west and north and south, and will recline at the table in the kingdom of God.

29 وَسَيَأْتِي أُنَاسٌ مِنَ الشَّرْقِ وَالْغَرْبِ، وَمِنَ الشِّمَالِ وَالْجَنُوبِ، وَيَتَّكِئُونَ فِي مَلَكُوتِ اللهِ.

30 And indeed, some who are last will be first, and some who are first will be last.”

30 فَإِذاً آخِرُونَ يَصِيرُونَ أَوَّلِينَ، وَأَوَّلُونَ يَصِيرُونَ آخِرِينَ».

31 At that very hour, some Pharisees came to Jesus and told Him, “Leave this place and get away, because Herod wants to kill You.”

31 فِي تِلْكَ السَّاعَةِ نَفْسِهَا، تَقَدَّمَ إِلَيْهِ بَعْضُ الْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ، قَائِلِينَ لَهُ: «انْجُ بِنَفْسِكَ! اهْرُبْ مِنْ هُنَا، فَإِنَّ هِيرُودُسَ عَازِمٌ عَلَى قَتْلِكَ».

32 But Jesus replied, “Go tell that fox, ‘Look, I will keep driving out demons and healing people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach My goal.’

32 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «اذْهَبُوا، قُولُوا لِهَذَا الثَّعْلَبِ: هَا أَنَا أَطْرُدُ الشَّيَاطِينَ وَأَشْفِي الْمَرْضَى الْيَوْمَ وَغَداً. وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ يَتِمُّ بِي كُلُّ شَيْءٍ.

33 Nevertheless, I must keep going today and tomorrow and the next day, for it is not admissible for a prophet to perish outside of Jerusalem.

33 وَلكِنْ لابُدَّ أَنْ أُكَمِّلَ مَسِيرَتِي الْيَوْمَ وَغَداً وَمَا بَعْدَهُمَا، لأَنَّهُ لَا يُمْكِنُ أَنْ يَهْلِكَ نَبِيٌّ إِلّا فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ!

34 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those sent to her, how often I have longed to gather your children together as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were unwilling!

34 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!

35 Look, your house is left to you desolate. And I tell you that you will not see Me again until you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.’”

35 هَا إِنَّ بَيْتَكُمْ يُتْرَكُ لَكُمْ خَرَاباً! وَأَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّكُمْ لَنْ تَرَوْنِي أَبَداً، حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ وَقْتٌ تَقُولُونَ فِيهِ: مُبَارَكٌ الآتِي بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ!»
