Luke 17

1 Jesus said to His disciples, “It is inevitable that stumbling blocks will come, but woe to the one through whom they come!

1 وَقَالَ لِتَلامِيذِهِ: «لابُدَّ مِنْ أَنْ تَأْتِيَ الْعَثَرَاتُ. وَلكِنِ الْوَيْلُ لِمَنْ تَأْتِي عَلَى يَدِهِ!

2 It would be better for him to have a millstone hung around his neck and to be thrown into the sea than to cause one of these little ones to stumble.

2 كَانَ أَنْفَعَ لَهُ لَوْ عُلِّقَ حَوْلَ عُنُقِهِ حَجَرُ رَحىً وَطُرِحَ فِي الْبَحْرِ، مِنْ أَنْ يَكُونَ عَثْرَةً لأَحَدِ هؤُلاءِ الصِّغَارِ.

3 Watch yourselves. If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.

3 خُذُوا الْحَذَرَ لأَنْفُسِكُمْ: إِنْ أَخْطَأَ أَخُوكَ، فَعَاتِبْهُ. فَإِذَا تَابَ، فَاغْفِرْ لَهُ.

4 Even if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times returns to say, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.”

4 وَإِنْ أَخْطَأَ إِلَيْكَ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ فِي الْيَوْمِ، وَعَادَ إِلَيْكَ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ قَائِلاً: أَنَا تَائِبٌ! فَعَلَيْكَ أَنْ تَغْفِرَ لَهُ».

5 The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!”

5 وَقَالَ الرُّسُلُ لِلرَّبِّ: «زِدْنَا إِيمَاناً!»

6 And the Lord answered, “If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey you.

6 وَلكِنَّ الرَّبَّ قَالَ: «لَوْ كَانَ عِنْدَكُمْ إِيمَانٌ مِثْلُ بِزْرَةِ الْخَرْدَلِ، لَكُنْتُمْ تَقُولُونَ لِشَجَرَةِ التُّوتِ هذِهِ: انْقَلِعِي وَانْغَرِسِي فِي الْبَحْرِ! فَتُطِيعُكُمْ!

7 Which of you whose servant comes in from plowing or shepherding in the field will say to him, ‘Come at once and sit down to eat’?

7 وَلَكِنْ، أَيُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُمْ يَكُونُ عِنْدَهُ عَبْدٌ يَحْرُثُ أَوْ يَرْعَى، فَيَقُولُ لَهُ لَدَى رُجُوعِهِ مِنَ الْحَقْلِ: تَقَدَّمْ فِي الْحَالِ وَاتَّكِئْ؟

8 Instead, won’t he tell him, ‘Prepare my meal and dress yourself to serve me while I eat and drink, and afterward you may eat and drink’?

8 أَلا يَقُولُ لَهُ بِالأَحْرَى: أَحْضِرْ لِي مَا أَتَعَشَّى بِهِ، وَشُدَّ وَسَطَكَ بِالْحِزَامِ وَاخْدِمْنِي حَتَّى آكُلَ وَأَشْرَبَ وبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ تَأْكُلُ وَتَشْرَبُ أَنْتَ؟

9 Does he thank the servant because he did what he was told?

9 وَهَلْ يُشْكَرُ الْعَبْدُ لأَنَّهُ عَمِلَ مَا أُمِرَ بِهِ؟

10 So you also, when you have done everything commanded of you, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.’”

10 هكَذَا أَنْتُمْ أَيْضاً، عِنْدَمَا تَعْمَلُونَ كُلَّ مَا تُؤْمَرُونَ بِهِ، قُولُوا: إِنَّمَا نَحْنُ عَبِيدٌ غَيْرُ نَافِعِينَ، قَدْ عَمِلْنَا مَا كَانَ وَاجِباً عَلَيْنَا!»

11 While Jesus was on His way to Jerusalem, He was passing between Samaria and Galilee.

11 وَفِيمَا هُوَ صَاعِدٌ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، مَرَّ فِي وَسَطِ مِنْطَقَتَيِ السَّامِرَةِ وَالْجَلِيلِ.

12 As He entered one of the villages, He was met by ten lepers. They stood at a distance

12 وَلَدَى دُخُولِهِ إِحْدَى الْقُرَى، لاقَاهُ عَشَرَةُ رِجَالٍ مُصَابِينَ بِالْبَرَصِ. فَوَقَفُوا مِنْ بَعِيدٍ،

13 and raised their voices, shouting, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”

13 وَرَفَعُوا الصَّوْتَ قَائِلِينَ: «يَا يَسُوعُ، يَا سَيِّدُ، ارْحَمْنَا!»

14 When Jesus saw them, He said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they were on their way, they were cleansed.

14 فَرَآهُمْ، وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «اذْهَبُوا وَاعْرِضُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ عَلَى الْكَهَنَةِ!» وَفِيمَا كَانُوا ذَاهِبِينَ، طَهَرُوا.

15 When one of them saw that he was healed, he came back, praising God in a loud voice.

15 فَلَمَّا رَأَى وَاحِدٌ مِنْهُمْ أَنَّهُ قَدْ طَهَرَ، عَادَ وَهُوَ يُمَجِّدُ اللهَ بِصَوْتٍ عَالٍ،

16 He fell facedown at Jesus’ feet in thanksgiving to Him—and he was a Samaritan.

16 وَارْتَمَى عَلَى وَجْهِهِ عِنْدَ قَدَمَيْهِ مُقَدِّماً لَهُ الشُّكْرَ. وَكَانَ هَذَا سَامِرِيًّا.

17 “Were not all ten cleansed?” Jesus asked. “Where then are the other nine?

17 فَتَكَلَّمَ يَسُوعُ قَائِلاً: «أَمَا طَهَرَ الْعَشَرَةُ؟ فَأَيْنَ التِّسْعَةُ؟

18 Was no one found except this foreigner to return and give glory to God?”

18 أَلَمْ يُوجَدْ مَنْ يَعُودُ وَيُقَدِّمُ الْمَجْدَ لِلهِ سِوَى هَذَا الأَجْنَبِيِّ؟»

19 Then Jesus said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well!”

19 ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ: «قُمْ وَامْضِ فِي سَبِيلِكَ: إِنَّ إِيمَانَكَ قَدْ خَلَّصَكَ!»

20 When asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The kingdom of God will not come with observable signs.

20 وَإِذْ سَأَلَهُ الْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ: «مَتَى يَأْتِي مَلَكُوتُ اللهِ؟» أَجَابَهُمْ قَائِلاً: «إِنَّ مَلَكُوتَ اللهِ لَا يَأْتِي بِعَلامَةٍ مَنْظُورَةٍ.

21 Nor will people say, ‘Look, here it is,’ or ‘There it is.’ For you see, the kingdom of God is in your midst.”

21 وَلا يُقَالُ: هَا هُوَ هُنَا، أَوْ: هَا هُوَ هُنَاكَ! فَهَا إِنَّ مَلَكُوتَ اللهِ فِي دَاخِلِكُمْ!»

22 Then He said to the disciples, “The time is coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it.

22 ثُمَّ قَالَ لِتَلامِيذِهِ: «سَيَأْتِي زَمَانٌ تَتَشَوَّقُونَ فِيهِ أَنْ تَرَوْا وَلَوْ يَوْماً وَاحِداً مِنْ أَيَّامِ ابْنِ الإِنْسَانِ، وَلَنْ تَرَوْا.

23 People will tell you, ‘Look, there He is!’ or ‘Look, here He is!’ Do not go out or chase after them.

23 وَسَوْفَ يَقُولُ بَعْضُهُمْ لَكُمْ: هَا هُوَ هُنَاكَ، أَوْ: هَا هُوَ هُنَا؛ فَلا تَذْهَبُوا وَلا تَتْبَعُوهُمْ:

24 For just as the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other, so will be the Son of Man in His day.

24 فَكَمَا أَنَّ الْبَرْقَ الَّذِي يَلْمَعُ تَحْتَ السَّمَاءِ مِنْ إِحْدَى الْجِهَاتِ يُضِيءُ فِي جِهَةٍ أُخْرَى، هكَذَا يَكُونُ ابْنُ الإِنْسَانِ يَوْمَ يَعُودُ.

25 But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.

25 وَلكِنْ لابُدَّ لَهُ أَوَّلاً مِنْ أَنْ يُعَانِيَ آلاماً كَثِيرَةً وَأَنْ يَرْفُضَهُ هَذَا الْجِيلُ!

26 Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man:

26 وَكَمَا حَدَثَ فِي زَمَانِ نُوحٍ، هكَذَا أَيْضاً سَوْفَ يَحْدُثُ فِي زَمَانِ ابْنِ الإِنْسَانِ:

27 People were eating and drinking, marrying and being given in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.

27 كَانَ النَّاسُ يَأْكُلُونَ وَيَشْرَبُونَ وَيَتَزَوَّجُونَ وَيُزَوِّجُونَ، إِلَى الْيَوْمِ الَّذِي فِيهِ دَخَلَ نُوحٌ السَّفِينَةَ وَجَاءَ الطُّوفَانُ فَأَهْلَكَ الْجَمِيعَ.

28 It was the same in the days of Lot: People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building.

28 وَكَذلِكَ، كَمَا حَدَثَ فِي زَمَانِ لُوطٍ: كَانُوا يَأْكُلُونَ وَيَشْرَبُونَ وَيَشْتَرُونَ وَيَبِيعُونَ وَيَغْرِسُونَ وَيَبْنُونَ،

29 But on the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.

29 وَلكِنْ فِي الْيَوْمِ الَّذِي فِيهِ خَرَجَ لُوطٌ مِنْ سَدُومَ، أَمْطَرَ (اللهُ) مِنَ السَّمَاءِ نَاراً وَكِبْرِيتاً، فَأَهْلَكَ الْجَمِيعَ

30 It will be just like that on the day the Son of Man is revealed.

30 هكَذَا سَيَحْدُثُ فِي يَوْمِ ظُهُورِ ابْنِ الإِنْسَانِ.

31 On that day, let no one on the housetop come down to retrieve his possessions. Likewise, let no one in the field return for anything he has left behind.

31 فَمَنْ كَانَ فِي ذلِكَ الْيَوْمِ عَلَى السَّطْحِ وَأَمْتِعَتُهُ فِي الْبَيْتِ، فَلا يَنْزِلْ لِيَأْخُذَهَا؛ وَمَنْ كَانَ فِي الْحَقْلِ كَذلِكَ، فَلا يَرْجِعْ إِلَى الْوَرَاءِ.

32 Remember Lot’s wife!

32 تَذَكَّرُوا زَوْجَةَ لُوطٍ!

33 Whoever tries to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will preserve it.

33 مَنْ يَسْعَى لإِنْقَاذِ حَيَاتِهِ يَفْقِدُهَا، وَمَنْ فَقَدَهَا يُحَافِظُ عَلَيْهَا.

34 I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed: one will be taken and the other left.

34 أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: فِي تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةِ يَكُونُ اثْنَانِ نَائِمَيْنِ عَلَى سَرِيرٍ وَاحِدٍ، فَيُؤْخَذُ الْوَاحِدُ وَيُتْرَكُ الآخَرُ؛

35 Two women will be grinding grain together: one will be taken and the other left.”

35 وَتَكُونُ اثْنَتَانِ تَطْحَنَانِ مَعاً، فَتُؤْخَذُ الْوَاحِدَةُ وَتُتْرَكُ الأُخْرَى؛

36

36 وَيَكُونُ اثْنَانِ فِي الْحَقْلِ، فَيُؤْخَذُ الْوَاحِدُ وَيُتْرَكُ الآخَرُ».

37 “Where, Lord?” they asked. Jesus answered, “Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.”

37 فَرَدُّوا سَائِلِينَ: «أَيْنَ، يَا رَبُّ؟» فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «حَيْثُ تَكُونُ الْجِيفَةُ، هُنَاكَ تَتَجَمَّعُ النُّسُورُ!»
