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 لِتَلَامِيذِهِ: «لَا يُمْكِنُ إِلَّا أَنْ تَأْتِيَ ٱلْعَثَرَاتُ، وَلَكِنْ وَيْلٌ لِلَّذِي تَأْتِي بِوَاسِطَتِهِ!

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 خَيْرٌ لَهُ لَوْ طُوِّقَ عُنُقُهُ بِحَجَرِ رَحًى وَطُرِحَ فِي ٱلْبَحْرِ، مِنْ أَنْ يُعْثِرَ أَحَدَ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلصِّغَارِ.

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

3 اِحْتَرِزُوا لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ. وَإِنْ أَخْطَأَ إِلَيْكَ أَخُوكَ فَوَبِّخْهُ، وَإِنْ تَابَ فَٱغْفِرْ 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 ٱلْيَوْمِ، وَرَجَعَ إِلَيْكَ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ قَائِلًا: أَنَا تَائِبٌ، فَٱغْفِرْ لَهُ».

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

5 فَقَالَ ٱلرُّسُلُ لِلرَّبِّ: «زِدْ إِيمَانَنَا!».

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 فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «لَوْ كَانَ لَكُمْ إِيمَانٌ مِثْلُ حَبَّةِ خَرْدَلٍ، لَكُنْتُمْ تَقُولُونَ لِهَذِهِ ٱلْجُمَّيْزَةِ: ٱنْقَلِعِي وَٱنْغَرِسِي فِي ٱلْبَحْرِ 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 «وَمَنْ مِنْكُمْ لَهُ عَبْدٌ يَحْرُثُ أَوْ يَرْعَى، يَقُولُ لَهُ إِذَا دَخَلَ مِنَ ٱلْحَقْلِ: تَقَدَّمْ سَرِيعًا وَٱتَّكِئْ.

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 بَلْ أَلَا يَقُولُ لَهُ: أَعْدِدْ مَا أَتَعَشَّى بِهِ، وَتَمَنْطَقْ وَٱخْدِمْنِي حَتَّى آكُلَ وَأَشْرَبَ، وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ تَأْكُلُ وَتَشْرَبُ أَنْتَ؟

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

9 فَهَلْ لِذَلِكَ ٱلْعَبْدِ فَضْلٌ لِأَنَّهُ فَعَلَ مَا أُمِرَ بِهِ؟ لَا أَظُنُّ.

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 كَذَلِكَ أَنْتُمْ أَيْضًا، مَتَى فَعَلْتُمْ كُلَّ مَا أُمِرْتُمْ بِهِ فَقُولُوا: إِنَّنَا عَبِيدٌ بَطَّالُونَ، لِأَنَّنَا إِنَّمَا عَمِلْنَا مَا كَانَ يَجِبُ عَلَيْنَا».

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

11 وَفِي ذَهَابِهِ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ ٱجْتَازَ فِي وَسْطِ ٱلسَّامِرَةِ وَٱلْجَلِيلِ.

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

12 وَفِيمَا هُوَ دَاخِلٌ إِلَى قَرْيَةٍ ٱسْتَقْبَلَهُ عَشَرَةُ رِجَالٍ بُرْصٍ، فَوَقَفُوا مِنْ بَعِيدٍ

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

13 وَرَفَعوُا صَوْتًا قَائِلِينَ: «يَا يَسُوعُ، يَا مُعَلِّمُ، ٱرْحَمْنَا!».

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

14 فَنَظَرَ وَقَالَ لَهُمُ: «ٱذْهَبُوا وَأَرُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ لِلْكَهَنَةِ». وَفِيمَا هُمْ مُنْطَلِقُونَ طَهَرُوا.

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

15 فَوَاحِدٌ مِنْهُمْ لَمَّا رَأَى أَنَّهُ شُفِيَ، رَجَعَ يُمَجِّدُ ٱللهَ بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ،

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

16 وَخَرَّ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ عِنْدَ رِجْلَيْهِ شَاكِرًا لَهُ، وَكَانَ سَامِرِيًّا.

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

17 فَأجَابَ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ: «أَلَيْسَ ٱلْعَشَرَةُ قَدْ طَهَرُوا؟ فَأَيْنَ ٱلتِّسْعَةُ؟

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

18 أَلَمْ يُوجَدْ مَنْ يَرْجِعُ لِيُعْطِيَ مَجْدًا لِلهِ غَيْرُ هَذَا ٱلْغَرِيبِ ٱلْجِنْسِ؟».

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

19 ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ: «قُمْ وَٱمْضِ، إِيمَانُكَ 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 وَلَمَّا سَأَلَهُ ٱلْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ: «مَتَى يَأْتِي مَلَكُوتُ ٱللهِ؟». أَجَابَهُمْ وَقَالَ: «لَا يَأْتِي مَلَكُوتُ ٱللهِ بِمُرَاقَبَةٍ،

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 وَلَا يَقُولُونَ: هُوَذَا هَهُنَا، أَوْ: هُوَذَا هُنَاكَ! لِأَنْ هَا مَلَكُوتُ ٱللهِ دَاخِلَكُمْ».

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 وَقَالَ لِلتَّلَامِيذِ: «سَتَأْتِي أَيَّامٌ فِيهَا تَشْتَهُونَ أَنْ تَرَوْا يَوْمًا وَاحِدًا مِنْ أَيَّامِ ٱبْنِ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ وَلَا تَرَوْنَ.

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

23 وَيَقُولُونَ لَكُمْ: هُوَذَا هَهُنَا! أَوْ: هُوَذَا هُنَاكَ! لَا تَذْهَبُوا وَلَا تَتْبَعُوا،

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 لِأَنَّهُ كَمَا أَنَّ ٱلْبَرْقَ ٱلَّذِي يَبْرُقُ مِنْ نَاحِيَةٍ تَحْتَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ يُضِيءُ إِلَى نَاحِيَةٍ تَحْتَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، كَذَلِكَ يَكُونُ أَيْضًا ٱبْنُ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ فِي يَوْمِهِ.

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

25 وَلَكِنْ يَنْبَغِي أَوَّلًا أَنْ يَتَأَلَّمَ كَثِيرًا وَيُرْفَضَ مِنْ هَذَا ٱلْجِيلِ.

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 كَانَ فِي أَيَّامِ نُوحٍ كَذَلِكَ يَكُونُ أَيْضًا فِي أَيَّامِ ٱبْنِ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ:

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 كَانُوا يَأْكُلُونَ وَيَشْرَبُونَ، وَيُزَوِّجُونَ وَيَتَزَوَّجُونَ، إِلَى ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلَّذِي فِيهِ دَخَلَ نُوحٌ ٱلْفُلْكَ، وَجَاءَ ٱلطُّوفَانُ وَأَهْلَكَ ٱلْجَمِيعَ.

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

28 كَذَلِكَ أَيْضًا كَمَا كَانَ فِي أَيَّامِ 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 وَلَكِنَّ ٱلْيَوْمَ ٱلَّذِي فِيهِ خَرَجَ لُوطٌ مِنْ سَدُومَ، أَمْطَرَ نَارًا وَكِبْرِيتًا مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ فَأَهْلَكَ ٱلْجَمِيعَ.

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

30 هَكَذَا يَكُونُ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلَّذِي فِيهِ يُظْهَرُ ٱبْنُ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ.

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 فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ مَنْ كَانَ عَلَى ٱلسَّطْحِ وَأَمْتِعَتُهُ فِي ٱلْبَيْتِ فَلَا يَنْزِلْ لِيَأْخُذَهَا، وَٱلَّذِي فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ كَذَلِكَ لَا يَرْجِعْ إِلَى ٱلْوَرَاءِ.

32 Remember Lot’s wife!

32 اُذْكُرُوا ٱمْرَأَةَ لُوطٍ!

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

33 مَنْ طَلَبَ أَنْ يُخَلِّصَ نَفْسَهُ يُهْلِكُهَا، وَمَنْ أَهْلَكَهَا يُحْيِيهَا.

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: إِنَّهُ فِي تِلْكَ ٱللَّيْلَةِ يَكُونُ ٱثْنَانِ عَلَى فِرَاشٍ وَاحِدٍ، فَيُؤْخَذُ ٱلْوَاحِدُ وَيُتْرَكُ ٱلْآخَرُ.

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

35 تَكُونُ ٱثْنَتَانِ تَطْحَنَانِ مَعًا، فَتُؤْخَذُ ٱلْوَاحِدَةُ وَتُتْرَكُ ٱلْأُخْرَى.

36

36 يَكُونُ ٱثْنَانِ فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ، فَيُؤْخَذُ ٱلْوَاحِدُ وَيُتْرَكُ ٱلْآخَرُ».

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

37 فَأَجَابوا وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «أَيْنَ يَارَبُّ؟». فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «حَيْثُ تَكُونُ ٱلْجُثَّةُ هُنَاكَ تَجْتَمِعُ ٱلنُّسُورُ».
