Luke 13

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

1 وَكَانَ حَاضِرًا فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ قَوْمٌ يُخْبِرُونَهُ عَنِ ٱلْجَلِيلِيِّينَ ٱلَّذِينَ خَلَطَ بِيلَاطُسُ دَمَهُمْ بِذَبَائِحِهِمْ.

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 فَأجَابَ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَتَظُنُّونَ أَنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلْجَلِيلِيِّينَ كَانُوا خُطَاةً أَكْثَرَ مِنْ كُلِّ ٱلْجَلِيلِيِّينَ لِأَنَّهُمْ كَابَدُوا مِثْلَ هَذَا؟

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

3 كَلَّا! أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: بَلْ إِنْ لَمْ تَتُوبُوا 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 أَوْ أُولَئِكَ ٱلثَّمَانِيَةَ عَشَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ سَقَطَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْبُرْجُ فِي سِلْوَامَ وَقَتَلَهُمْ، أَتَظُنُّونَ أَنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ كَانُوا مُذْنِبِينَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلنَّاسِ ٱلسَّاكِنِينَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ؟

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

5 كَلَّا! أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: بَلْ إِنْ لَمْ تَتُوبُوا فَجَمِيعُكُمْ كَذَلِكَ 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 وَقَالَ هَذَا ٱلْمَثَلَ: «كَانَتْ لِوَاحِدٍ شَجَرَةُ تِينٍ مَغْرُوسَةٌ فِي كَرْمِهِ، فَأَتَى يَطْلُبُ فِيهَا ثَمَرًا وَلَمْ يَجِدْ.

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 لِلْكَرَّامِ: هُوَذَا ثَلَاثُ سِنِينَ آتِي أَطْلُبُ ثَمَرًا فِي هَذِهِ ٱلتِّينَةِ وَلَمْ أَجِدْ. اِقْطَعْهَا! لِمَاذَا تُبَطِّلُ ٱلْأَرْضَ أَيْضًا؟

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

8 فَأَجَابَ وَقَالَ لَهُ: يَا سَيِّدُ، ٱتْرُكْهَا هَذِهِ ٱلسَّنَةَ أَيْضًا، حَتَّى أَنْقُبَ حَوْلَهَا وَأَضَعَ زِبْلًا.

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

9 فَإِنْ صَنَعَتْ ثَمَرًا، وَإِلَّا فَفِيمَا بَعْدُ تَقْطَعُهَا».

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

10 وَكَانَ يُعَلِّمُ فِي أَحَدِ ٱلْمَجَامِعِ فِي ٱلسَّبْتِ،

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

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 ٱمْرَأَةُ، إِنَّكِ مَحْلُولَةٌ مِنْ ضَعْفِكِ!».

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

13 وَوَضَعَ عَلَيْهَا يَدَيْهِ، فَفِي ٱلْحَالِ ٱسْتَقَامَتْ وَمَجَّدَتِ ٱللهَ.

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 فَأَجابَ رَئِيسُ ٱلْمَجْمَعِ، وَهُوَ مُغْتَاظٌ لِأَنَّ يَسُوعَ أَبْرَأَ فِي ٱلسَّبْتِ، وَقَالَ لِلْجَمْعِ: «هِيَ سِتَّةُ أَيَّامٍ يَنْبَغِي فِيهَا ٱلْعَمَلُ، فَفِي هَذِهِ ٱئْتُوا وَٱسْتَشْفُوا، وَلَيْسَ فِي يَوْمِ ٱلسَّبْتِ!».

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 فَأَجَابَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ وَقَالَ: «يَا مُرَائِي! أَلَا يَحُلُّ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُمْ فِي ٱلسَّبْتِ ثَوْرَهُ أَوْ حِمَارَهُ مِنَ ٱلْمِذْوَدِ وَيَمْضِي بِهِ وَيَسْقِيهِ؟

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 وَهَذِهِ، وَهِيَ ٱبْنَةُ إِبْراهِيمَ، قَدْ رَبَطَهَا ٱلشَّيْطَانُ ثَمَانِيَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً، أَمَا كَانَ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ تُحَلَّ مِنْ هَذَا ٱلرِّبَاطِ فِي يَوْمِ ٱلسَّبْتِ؟».

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 أُخْجِلَ جَمِيعُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا يُعَانِدُونَهُ، وَفَرِحَ كُلُّ ٱلْجَمْعِ بِجَمِيعِ ٱلْأَعْمَالِ ٱلْمَجِيدَةِ ٱلْكَائِنَةِ مِنْهُ.

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

18 فَقَالَ: «مَاذَا يُشْبِهُ مَلَكُوتُ ٱللهِ؟ 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 يُشْبِهُ حَبَّةَ خَرْدَلٍ أَخَذَهَا إِنْسَانٌ وَأَلْقَاهَا فِي بُسْتَانِهِ، فَنَمَتْ وَصَارَتْ شَجَرَةً كَبِيرَةً، وَتَآوَتْ طُيُورُ ٱلسَّمَاءِ فِي أَغْصَانِهَا».

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

20 وَقَالَ أَيْضًا: «بِمَاذَا أُشَبِّهُ مَلَكُوتَ ٱللهِ؟

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

21 يُشْبِهُ خَمِيرَةً أَخَذَتْهَا ٱمْرَأَةٌ وَخَبَّأَتْهَا فِي ثَلَاثَةِ أَكْيَالِ دَقِيقٍ حَتَّى ٱخْتَمَرَ ٱلْجَمِيعُ».

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

22 وَٱجْتَازَ فِي مُدُنٍ وَقُرًى يُعَلِّمُ وَيُسَافِرُ نَحْوَ أُورُشَلِيمَ،

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

23 فَقَالَ لَهُ وَاحِدٌ: «يَا سَيِّدُ، أَقَلِيلٌ هُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَخْلُصُونَ؟». فَقَالَ لَهُمُ:

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 «ٱجْتَهِدُوا أَنْ تَدْخُلُوا مِنَ ٱلْبَابِ ٱلضَّيِّقِ، فَإِنِّي أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ كَثِيرِينَ سَيَطْلُبُونَ أَنْ يَدْخُلُوا وَلَا 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 مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا يَكُونُ رَبُّ ٱلْبَيْتِ قَدْ قَامَ وَأَغْلَقَ ٱلْبَابَ، وَٱبْتَدَأْتُمْ تَقِفُونَ خَارِجًا وَتَقْرَعُونَ ٱلْبَابَ قَائِلِينَ: يَارَبُّ، يَارَبُّ! ٱفْتَحْ لَنَا. يُجِيبُ، وَيَقُولُ لَكُمْ: لَا أَعْرِفُكُمْ مِنْ أَيْنَ أَنْتُمْ!

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

26 حِينَئِذٍ تَبْتَدِئُونَ تَقُولُونَ: أَكَلْنَا قُدَّامَكَ وَشَرِبْنَا، 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 فَيَقُولُ: أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: لَاأَعْرِفُكُمْ مِنْ أَيْنَ أَنْتُمْ، تَبَاعَدُوا عَنِّي يَا جَمِيعَ فَاعِلِي ٱلظُّلْمِ!

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 يَكُونُ ٱلْبُكَاءُ وَصَرِيرُ ٱلْأَسْنَانِ، مَتَى رَأَيْتُمْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ وَجَمِيعَ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ فِي مَلَكُوتِ ٱللهِ، وَأَنْتُمْ مَطْرُوحُونَ خَارِجًا.

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

29 وَيَأْتُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمَشَارِقِ وَمِنَ ٱلْمَغَارِبِ وَمِنَ ٱلشِّمَالِ وَٱلْجَنُوبِ، وَيَتَّكِئُونَ فِي مَلَكُوتِ ٱللهِ.

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

30 وَهُوَذَا آخِرُونَ يَكُونُونَ أَوَّلِينَ، وَأَوَّلُونَ يَكُونُونَ 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 ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ تَقَدَّمَ بَعْضُ ٱلْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ قَائِلِينَ لَهُ: «ٱخْرُجْ وَٱذْهَبْ مِنْ هَهُنَا، لِأَنَّ هِيرُودُسَ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَقْتُلَكَ».

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 لَهُمُ: «ٱمْضُوا وَقُولُوا لِهَذَا ٱلثَّعْلَبِ: هَا أَنَا أُخْرِجُ شَيَاطِينَ، وَأَشْفِي ٱلْيَوْمَ وَغَدًا، وَفِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّالِثِ أُكَمَّلُ.

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 بَلْ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ أَسِيرَ ٱلْيَوْمَ وَغَدًا وَمَا يَلِيهِ، لِأَنَّهُ لَا يُمْكِنُ أَنْ يَهْلِكَ نَبِيٌّ خَارِجًا عَنْ 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 ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَرَاجِمَةَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ إِلَيْهَا، كَمْ مَرَّةٍ أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَجْمَعَ أَوْلَادَكِ كَمَا تَجْمَعُ ٱلدَّجَاجَةُ فِرَاخَهَا تَحْتَ جَنَاحَيْهَا، وَلَمْ 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 هُوَذَا بَيْتُكُمْ يُتْرَكُ لَكُمْ خَرَابًا! وَٱلْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّكُمْ لَا تَرَوْنَنِي حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ وَقْتٌ تَقُولُونَ فِيهِ: مُبَارَكٌ ٱلْآتِي بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ!».
