Luke 19

1 Then Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through.

1 ثُمَّ دَخَلَ أَرِيحَا وَاجْتَازَ فِيهَا.

2 And there was a man named Zacchaeus, a chief tax collector, who was very wealthy.

2 وَإذَا هُنَاكَ رَجُلٌ اسْمُهُ زَكَّا، رَئِيسٌ لِجُبَاةِ الضَّرَائِبِ، وَكَانَ غَنِيًّا.

3 He was trying to see who Jesus was, but could not see over the crowd because he was small in stature.

3 وَقَدْ سَعَى أَنْ يَرَى مَنْ هُوَ يَسُوعُ، فَلَمْ يَقْدِرْ بِسَبَبِ الزَّحَامِ، لأَنَّهُ كَانَ قَصيِرَ الْقَامَةِ.

4 So he ran on ahead and climbed a sycamore tree to see Him, since Jesus was about to pass that way.

4 فَتَقَدَّمَ رَاكِضاً وَتَسَلَّقَ شَجَرَةَ جُمَّيْزٍ لَعَلَّهُ يَرَى يَسُوعَ، فَقَدْ كَانَ سَيَمُرُّ مِنْ هُنَاكَ.

5 When Jesus came to that place, He looked up and said, “Zacchaeus, hurry down, for I must stay at your house today.”

5 فَلَمَّا وَصَلَ يَسُوعَ إِلَى ذَلِكَ الْمَكَانِ، رَفَعَ نَظَرَهُ وَرَآهُ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: «يَا زَكَّا، أَسْرِعْ وَانْزِلْ، لأَنَّهُ لابُدَّ أَنْ أُقِيمَ الْيَوْمَ فِي بَيْتِكَ!»

6 So Zacchaeus hurried down and welcomed Him joyfully.

6 فَأَسْرَعَ وَنَزَلَ وَاسْتَقْبَلَهُ بِفَرَحٍ.

7 And all who saw this began to grumble, saying, “He has gone to be the guest of a sinful man!”

7 فَلَمَّا رَأى الْجَمِيعُ ذَلِكَ، تَذَمَّرُوا قَائِلِينَ: «قَدْ دَخَلَ لِيَبيتَ عِنْدَ رَجُلٍ خَاطِئٍ!»

8 But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord, half of my possessions I give to the poor, and if I have cheated anyone, I will repay it fourfold.”

8 وَلكِنَّ زَكَّا وَقَفَ وَقَالَ لِلرَّبِّ: «يَا رَبُّ، هَا أَنَا أُعْطِي نِصْفَ أَمْوَالِي لِلْفُقَرَاءِ. وَإِنْ كُنْتُ قَدِ اغْتَصَبْتُ شَيْئاً مِنْ أَحَدٍ، أَرُدُّ لَهُ أَرْبَعَةَ أَضْعَافٍ!»

9 Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because this man too is a son of Abraham.

9 فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «الْيَوْمَ تَمَّ الْخَلاصُ لِهَذَا الْبَيْتِ، إِذْ هُوَ أَيْضاً ابْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ.

10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”

10 فَإِنَّ ابْنَ الإِنْسَانِ قَدْ جَاءَ لِيَبْحَثَ عَنِ الْهَالِكِينَ وَيُخَلِّصَهُمْ».

11 While the people were listening to this, Jesus proceeded to tell them a parable, because He was near Jerusalem and they thought the kingdom of God would appear imminently.

11 وَبَيْنَمَا هُمْ يَسْتَمِعُونَ إِلَى هَذَا الْكَلامِ، عَادَ فَضَرَبَ مَثلاً، لأَنَّهُ كَانَ قَدِ اقْتَرَبَ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَكَانُوا يَظُنُّونَ أَنَّ مَلَكُوتَ اللهِ عَلَى وَشْكِ أَنْ يُعْلَنَ حَالاً،

12 So He said, “A man of noble birth went to a distant country to lay claim to his kingship and then return.

12 فَقَالَ: «ذَهَبَ إِنْسَانٌ نَبِيلٌ إِلَى بَلَدٍ بَعِيدٍ لِيَتَسَلَّمَ لَهُ مُلْكاً ثُمَّ يَعُودُ.

13 Beforehand, he called ten of his servants and gave them ten minas. ‘Conduct business with this until I return,’ he said.

13 فَاسْتَدْعَى عَبِيدَهُ الْعَشَرَةَ، وَأَوْدَعَهُمْ عَشْرَ وَزَنَاتٍ، وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: تَاجِرُوا إِلَى أَنْ أَعُودَ.

14 But his subjects hated him and sent a delegation after him to say, ‘We do not want this man to rule over us.’

14 وَلكِنَّ أَهْلَ بَلَدِهِ كَانُوا يُبْغِضُونَهُ، فَأَرْسَلُوا وَرَاءَهُ وَفْداً، قَائِلِينَ: لَا نُرِيدُ أَنْ يَمْلِكَ هَذَا عَلَيْنَا!

15 When he returned from procuring his kingship, he summoned the servants to whom he had given the money, to find out what each one had earned.

15 وَلَدَى عَوْدَتِهِ بَعْدَمَا تَسَلَّمَ الْمُلْكَ، أَمَرَ أَنْ يُدْعَى إِلَيْهِ هؤُلاءِ الْعَبِيدُ الَّذِينَ أَوْدَعَهُمُ الْمَالَ، لِيَعْرِفَ مَا رَبِحَهُ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ بِتِجَارَتِهِ.

16 The first servant came forward and said, ‘Master, your mina has produced ten more minas.’

16 فَتَقَدَّمَ الأَوَّلُ قَائِلاً: يَا سَيِّدُ، إِنَّ وَزْنَتَكَ رَبِحَتْ عَشْرَ وَزْنَاتٍ!

17 His master replied, ‘Well done, good servant! Because you have been faithful in a very small matter, you shall have authority over ten cities.’

17 فَقَالَ لَهُ: حَسَناً فَعَلْتَ أَيُّهَا الْعَبْدُ الصَّالِحُ. فَلأَنَّكَ كُنْتَ أَمِيناً فِي مَا هُوَ قَلِيلٌ، فَكُنْ وَالِياً عَلَى عَشْرِ مُدُنٍ!

18 The second servant came and said, ‘Master, your mina has made five minas.’

18 وَتَقَدَّمَ الثَّانِي قَائِلاً: يَا سَيِّدُ، إِنَّ وَزْنَتَكَ رَبِحَتْ خَمْسَ وَزْنَاتٍ!

19 And to this one he said, ‘You shall have authority over five cities.’

19 فَقَالَ لِهَذَا أَيْضاً: وَكُنْ أَنْتَ وَالِياً عَلَى خَمْسِ مُدُنٍ!

20 Then another servant came and said, ‘Master, here is your mina, which I have laid away in a piece of cloth.

20 ثُمَّ تَقَدَّمَ عَبْدٌ آخَرُ قَائِلاً: يَا سَيِّدُ، هَا هِيَ وَزْنَتُكَ الَّتِي حَفِظْتُهَا مَطْوِيَّةً فِي مِنْدِيلٍ.

21 For I was afraid of you, because you are a harsh man. You withdraw what you did not deposit and reap what you did not sow.’

21 فَقَدْ كُنْتُ أَخَافُ مِنْكَ لأَنَّكَ إِنْسَانٌ قَاسٍ، تَسْتَوْفِي مَا لَمْ تَسْتَوْدِعْهُ، وَتَحْصُدُ مَا لَمْ تَزْرَعْهُ!

22 His master replied, ‘You wicked servant, I will judge you by your own words. So you knew that I am a harsh man, withdrawing what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow?

22 فَقَالَ لَهُ: مِنْ فَمِكَ سَأَحْكُمُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا الْعَبْدُ الشِّرِّيرُ: عَرَفْتَ أَنِّي إِنْسَانٌ قَاسٍ، أَسْتَوْفِي مَا لَمْ أَسْتَوْدِعْهُ، وَأَحْصُدُ مَا لَمْ أَزْرَعْهُ.

23 Why then did you not deposit my money in the bank, and upon my return I could have collected it with interest?’

23 فَلِمَاذَا لَمْ تُودِعْ مَالِي فِي الْمَصْرِفِ، فَكُنْتُ أَسْتَوْفِيهِ مَعَ الْفَائِدَةِ عِنْدَ عَوْدَتِي؟

24 Then he told those standing by, ‘Take the mina from him and give it to the one who has ten minas.’

24 ثُمَّ قَالَ لِلْوَاقِفِينَ هُنَاكَ: خُذُوا مِنْهُ الْوَزْنَةَ وَأَعْطُوهَا لِصَاحِبِ الْوَزْنَاتِ الْعَشْرِ.

25 ‘Master,’ they said, ‘he already has ten!’

25 فَقَالُوا لَهُ: يَا سَيِّدُ، إِنَّ عِنْدَهُ عَشْرَ وَزْنَاتٍ! فَقَالَ:

26 He replied, ‘I tell you that everyone who has will be given more; but the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.

26 إِنِّي أَقُولُ لَكُمْ إِنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ عِنْدَهُ يُعْطَى الْمَزِيدَ؛ وَأَمَّا مَنْ لَيْسَ عِنْدَهُ، فَحَتَّى الَّذِي عِنْدَهُ يُنْتَزَعُ مِنْهُ.

27 And these enemies of mine who were unwilling for me to rule over them, bring them here and slay them in front of me.’”

27 وَأَمَّا أَعْدَائِي أُولئِكَ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يُرِيدُوا أَنْ أَمْلِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ، فَأَحْضِرُوهُمْ إِلَى هُنَا وَاذْبَحُوهُمْ قُدَّامِي!»

28 After Jesus had said this, He went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.

28 وَبَعْدَمَا قَالَ هَذَا الْكَلامَ، تَقَدَّمَ صَاعِداً إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ.

29 As He approached Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, He sent out two of His disciples,

29 وَلَمَّا اقْتَرَبَ مِنْ بَيْتِ فَاجِي وَبَيْتِ عَنْيَا، عِنْدَ الْجَبَلِ الْمَعْرُوفِ بِجَبَلِ الزَّيْتُونِ، أَرْسَلَ اثْنَيْنِ مِنْ تَلامِيذِهِ، قَائِلاً:

30 saying, “Go into the village ahead of you, and as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it here.

30 «اذْهَبَا إِلَى الْقَرْيَةِ الْمُقَابِلَةِ لَكُمَا، وَعِنْدَمَا تَدْخُلانِهَا تَجِدَانِ جَحْشاً مَرْبُوطاً لَمْ يَرْكَبْ عَلَيْهِ أَحَدٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ قَطُّ، فَحُلّا رِبَاطَهُ، وَأَحْضِرَاهُ إِلَى هُنَا.

31 If anyone asks, ‘Why are you untying it?’ tell him, ‘The Lord needs it.’”

31 وَإِنْ سَأَلَكُمَا أَحَدٌ: لِمَاذَا تَحُلّانِ رِبَاطَهُ؟ فَقُولا لَهُ هكَذَا: لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ بِحَاجَةٍ إِلَيْهِ!»

32 So those who were sent went out and found it just as Jesus had told them.

32 فَذَهَبَ التِّلْمِيذَانِ اللَّذَانِ أُرْسِلا فِي طَرِيقِهِمَا وَوَجَدَا كَمَا قَالَ الرَّبُّ لَهُمَا.

33 As they were untying the colt, its owners asked, “Why are you untying the colt?”

33 وَفِيمَا كَانَا يَحُلّانِ رِبَاطَ الْجَحْشِ، سَأَلَهُمَا أَصْحَابُهُ: «لِمَاذَا تَحُلّانِ رِبَاطَ الْجَحْشِ؟»

34 “The Lord needs it,” they answered.

34 فَقَالا: «لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ بِحَاجَةٍ إِلَيْهِ!»

35 Then they led the colt to Jesus, threw their cloaks over it, and put Jesus on it.

35 ثُمَّ أَحْضَرَاهُ إِلَى يَسُوعَ؛ وَوَضَعَا ثِيَابَهُمَا عَلَى الْجَحْشِ وَأَرْكَبَا يَسُوعَ.

36 As He rode along, the people spread their cloaks on the road.

36 وَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ سَائِرٌ، أَخَذُوا يَفْرُشُونَ الطَّرِيقَ بِثِيَابِهِمْ.

37 And as He approached the descent from the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of disciples began to praise God joyfully in a loud voice for all the miracles they had seen:

37 وَلَمَّا اقْتَرَبَ (مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ) إِذْ وَصَلَ إِلَى مُنْحَدَرِ جَبَلِ الزَّيْتُونِ، أَخَذَ جَمَاعَةُ التَّلامِيذِ يَهْتِفُونَ جَمِيعاً بِفَرَحٍ مُسَبِّحِينَ اللهَ بِصَوْتٍ عَالٍ عَلَى جَمِيعِ الْمُعْجِزَاتِ الَّتِي شَاهَدُوهَا،

38 “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”

38 فَيَقُولُونَ: «مُبَارَكٌ الْمَلِكُ الآتِي بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ! سَلامٌ فِي السَّمَاءِ وَمَجْدٌ فِي الأَعَالِي!»

39 But some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, rebuke Your disciples!”

39 وَلكِنَّ بَعْضَ الْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ مِنَ الْجَمْعِ قَالُوا لَهُ: «يَا مُعَلِّمُ، ازْجُرْ تَلامِيذَكَ!»

40 “I tell you,” He answered, “if they remain silent, the very stones will cry out.”

40 فَأَجَابَهُمْ قَائِلاً: «أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنْ سَكَتَ هؤُلاءِ، هَتَفَتِ الْحِجَارَةُ!»

41 As Jesus approached Jerusalem and saw the city, He wept over it

41 وَلَمَّا اقْتَرَبَ، وَرَأَى الْمَدِينَةَ، بَكَى عَلَيْهَا،

42 and said, “If only you had known on this day what would bring you peace! But now it is hidden from your eyes.

42 قَائِلاً: «لَيْتَكِ أَنْتِ أَيْضاً، فِي يَوْمِكِ هَذَا، عَرَفْتِ مَا فِيهِ سَلامُكِ! وَلكِنَّ ذلِكَ مَحْجُوبٌ الآنَ عَنْ عَيْنَيْكِ.

43 For the days will come upon you when your enemies will barricade you and surround you and hem you in on every side.

43 فَسَتَأْتِي عَلَيْكِ أَيَّامٌ يُحَاصِرُكِ فِيهَا أَعْدَاؤُكِ بِالْمَتَارِيسِ، وَيُطْبِقُونَ عَلَيْكِ، وَيُشَدِّدُونَ عَلَيْكِ الْحِصَارَ مِنْ كُلِّ جِهَةٍ،

44 They will level you to the ground—you and the children within your walls. They will not leave one stone on another, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation from God.”

44 وَيَهْدِمُونَكِ عَلَى أَبْنَائِكِ الَّذِينَ فِيكِ، فَلا يَتْرُكُونَ فِيكِ حَجَراً فَوْقَ حَجَرٍ: لأَنَّكِ لَمْ تَعْرِفِي وَقْتَ افْتِقَادِ اللهِ لَكِ».

45 Then Jesus entered the temple courts and began to drive out those who were selling there.

45 وَلَدَى دُخُولِهِ الْهَيْكَلَ، أَخَذَ يَطْرُدُ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا يَبِيعُونَ فِيهِ وَيَشْتَرُونَ،

46 He declared to them, “It is written: ‘My house will be a house of prayer.’ But you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’”

46 قَائِلاً لَهُمْ: «قَدْ كُتِبَ: إِنَّ بَيْتِي هُوَ بَيْتٌ لِلصَّلاةِ. أَمَّا أَنْتُمْ، فَقَدْ جَعَلْتُمُوهُ مَغَارَةَ لُصُوصٍ!»

47 Jesus was teaching at the temple every day, but the chief priests, scribes, and leaders of the people were intent on killing Him.

47 وَكَانَ يُعَلِّمُ يَوْماً فَيَوْماً فِي الْهَيْكَلِ. وَسَعَى رُؤَسَاءُ الْكَهَنَةِ وَالْكَتَبَةُ وَوُجَهَاءُ الشَّعْبِ إِلَى قَتْلِهِ.

48 Yet they could not find a way to do so, because all the people hung on His words.

48 وَلكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَهْتَدُوا إِلَى مَا يَفْعَلُونَ، لأَنَّ الشَّعْبَ كُلَّهُ كَانَ مُلْتَصِقاً بِهِ لِلاِسْتِمَاعِ إِلَيْهِ.
