Luke 7

1 When Jesus had concluded His discourse in the hearing of the people, He went to Capernaum.

1 وَبَعْدَمَا أَتَمَّ إِلْقَاءَ أَقْوَالِهِ كُلِّهَا فِي مَسَامِعِ الشَّعْبِ، دَخَلَ بَلْدَةَ كَفْرَنَاحُومَ.

2 There a highly valued servant of a centurion was sick and about to die.

2 وَكَانَ عِنْدَ قَائِدِ مِئَةٍ عَبْدٌ مَرِيضٌ قَدْ أَشْرَفَ عَلَى الْمَوْتِ، وَكَانَ عَزِيزاً عَلَيْهِ.

3 When the centurion heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to ask Him to come and heal his servant.

3 فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ بِيَسُوعَ، أَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ شُيُوخَ الْيَهُودِ، مُتَوَسِّلاً إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ وَيُنْقِذَ عَبْدَهُ.

4 They came to Jesus and pleaded with Him earnestly, “This man is worthy to have You grant this,

4 وَلَمَّا أَدْرَكُوا يَسُوعَ، طَلَبُوا إِلَيْهِ بِإِلْحَاحٍ قَائِلِينَ: «إِنَّهُ يَسْتَحِقُّ أَنْ تَمْنَحَهُ طَلَبَهُ،

5 for he loves our nation and has built our synagogue.”

5 فَهُوَ يُحِبُّ أُمَّتَنَا، وَقَدْ بَنَى لَنَا الْمَجْمَعَ».

6 So Jesus went with them. But when He was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends with the message: “Lord, do not trouble Yourself, for I am not worthy to have You come under my roof.

6 فَرَافَقَهُمْ يَسُوعُ. وَلَكِنْ مَا إِنْ أَصْبَحَ عَلَى مَقْرَبَةٍ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ، حَتَّى أَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ قَائِدُ الْمِئَةِ بَعْضَ أَصْدِقَائِهِ، يَقُولُ لَهُ: «يَا سَيِّدُ، لَا تُكَلِّفْ نَفْسَكَ، لأَنِّي لَا أَسْتَحِقُّ أَنْ تَدْخُلَ تَحْتَ سَقْفِ بَيْتِي.

7 That is why I did not consider myself worthy to come to You. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.

7 وَلِذلِكَ لَا أَعْتَبِرُ نَفْسِي أَهْلاً لأَنْ أُلاقِيَكَ. إِنَّمَا قُلْ كَلِمَةً، فَيُشْفَى خَادِمِي:

8 For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell one to go, and he goes, and another to come, and he comes. I tell my servant to do something, and he does it.”

8 فَأَنَا أَيْضاً رَجُلٌ مَوْضُوعٌ تَحْتَ سُلْطَةٍ أَعْلَى مِنِّي، وَلِي جُنُودٌ تَحْتَ إِمْرَتِي، أَقُولُ لأَحَدِهِمْ: اذْهَبْ! فَيَذْهَبُ؛ وَلِغَيْرِهِ: تَعَالَ! فَيَأْتِي؛ وَلِعَبْدِي: افْعَلْ هَذَا! فَيَفْعَلُ».

9 When Jesus heard this, He marveled at the centurion. Turning to the crowd following Him, He said, “I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith.”

9 فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ يَسُوعُ ذلِكَ، تَعَجَّبَ مِنْهُ، ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ إِلَى الْجَمْعِ الَّذِي يَتْبَعُهُ، وَقَالَ: «أَقُولُ لَكُمْ، لَمْ أَجِدْ حَتَّى فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِيمَاناً عَظِيماً كَهَذَا!»

10 And when the messengers returned to the house, they found the servant in good health.

10 وَلَمَّا رَجَعَ الْمُرْسَلُونَ إِلَى الْبَيْتِ، وَجَدُوا الْعَبْدَ الْمَرِيضَ قَدْ تَعَافَى.

11 Soon afterward, Jesus went to a town called Nain. His disciples went with Him, accompanied by a large crowd.

11 وَفِي الْيَوْمِ التَّالِي، ذَهَبَ إِلَى مَدِينَةٍ اسْمُهَا نَايِينُ، يُرَافِقُهُ كَثِيرُونَ مِنْ تَلامِيذِهِ وَجمْعٌ عَظِيمٌ.

12 As He approached the town gate, He saw a dead man being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the town was with her.

12 وَلَمَّا اقْتَرَبَ مِنْ بَابِ الْمَدِينَةِ، إِذَا مَيْتٌ مَحْمُولٌ، وَهُوَ ابْنٌ وَحِيدٌ لأُمِّهِ الَّتِي كَانَتْ أَرْمَلَةً، وَكَانَ مَعَهَا جَمْعٌ كَبِيرٌ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ.

13 When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said, “Do not weep.”

13 فَلَمَّا رَآهَا الرَّبُّ، تَحَنَّنَ عَلَيْهَا، وَقَالَ لَهَا: «لا تَبْكِي!»

14 Then He went up and touched the coffin, and those carrying it stood still. “Young man,” He said, “I tell you, get up!”

14 ثُمَّ تَقَدَّمَ وَلَمَسَ النَّعْشَ، فَتَوَقَّفَ حَامِلُوهُ. وَقَالَ: «أَيُّهَا الشَّابُّ، لَكَ أَقُولُ: قُمْ!»

15 And the dead man sat up and began to speak! Then Jesus gave him back to his mother.

15 فَجَلَسَ الْمَيْتُ وَبَدَأَ يَتَكَلَّمُ، فَسَلَّمَهُ إِلَى أُمِّهِ.

16 A sense of awe swept over all of them, and they glorified God. “A great prophet has appeared among us!” they said. “God has visited His people!”

16 فَاسْتَوْلَى الْخَوْفُ عَلَى الْجَمِيعِ، وَمَجَّدُوا اللهَ، قَائِلِينَ: «قَدْ قَامَ فِينَا نَبِيٌّ عَظِيمٌ وَتَفَقَّدَ اللهُ شَعْبَهُ!»

17 And the news about Jesus spread throughout Judea and all the surrounding region.

17 وَذَاعَ هَذَا الْخَبَرُ عَنْهُ فِي مِنْطَقَةِ الْيَهُودِيَّةِ كُلِّهَا وَفِي جَمِيعِ النَّوَاحِي الْمُجَاوِرَةِ.

18 Then John’s disciples informed him about all these things.

18 وَنَقَلَ تَلامِيذُ يُوحَنَّا إِلَيْهِ خَبَرَ هذِهِ كُلِّهَا. فَدَعَا يُوحَنَّا اثْنَيْنِ مِنْ تَلامِيذِهِ،

19 So John called two of his disciples and sent them to ask the Lord, “Are You the One who was to come, or should we look for someone else?”

19 وَأَرْسَلَهُمَا إِلَى الرَّبِّ، يَسْأَلُهُ: «أَأَنْتَ هُوَ الآتِي، أَمْ نَنْتَظِرُ آخَرَ؟»

20 When the men came to Jesus, they said, “John the Baptist sent us to ask, ‘Are You the One who was to come, or should we look for someone else?’”

20 فَلَمَّا جَاءَ الرَّجُلانِ إِلَى الرَّبِّ، قَالا: «أَرْسَلَنَا إِلَيْكَ يُوحَنَّا الْمَعْمَدَانُ، يَسْأَلُ: أَأَنْتَ هُوَ الآتِي، أَمْ نَنْتَظِرُ آخَرَ؟»

21 At that very hour Jesus healed many people of their diseases, afflictions, and evil spirits, and He gave sight to many who were blind.

21 وَفِي تِلْكَ السَّاعَةِ شَفَى كَثِيرِينَ مِنْ أَمْرَاضٍ وَعِلَلٍ وَأَرْوَاحٍ شِرِّيرَةٍ، وَوَهَبَ الْبَصَرَ لِعُمْيَانٍ كَثِيرِينَ.

22 So He replied, “Go back and report to John what you have seen and heard: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor.

22 فَرَدَّ يَسُوعُ عَلَى الْمُرْسَلَيْنِ قَائِلاً: «اذْهَبَا وَأَخْبِرَا يُوحَنَّا بِمَا قَدْ رَأَيْتُمَا وَسَمِعْتُمَا: أَنَّ الْعُمْيَانَ يُبْصِرُونَ، وَالْعُرْجَ يَمْشُونَ، وَالْبُرْصَ يُطَهَّرُونَ، وَالصُّمَّ يَسْمَعُونَ، وَالْمَوْتَى يُقَامُونَ، وَالْمَسَاكِينَ يُبَشَّرُونَ.

23 Blessed is the one who does not fall away on account of Me.”

23 وَطُوبَى لِكُلِّ مَنْ لَا يَشُكُّ فِيَّ!»

24 After John’s messengers had left, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swaying in the wind?

24 وَمَا إِنِ انْصَرَفَ مُرْسَلا يُوحَنَّا حَتَّى أَخَذَ يَسُوعُ يَتَحَدَّثُ إِلَى الْجُمُوعِ عَنْ يُوحَنَّا «مَاذَا خَرَجْتُمْ إِلَى الْبَرِّيَّةِ لِتَرَوْا؟ أَقَصَبَةً تَهُزُّهَا الرِّيَاحُ؟

25 Otherwise, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? Look, those who wear elegant clothing and live in luxury are found in palaces.

25 بَلْ مَاذَا خَرَجْتُمْ لِتَرَوْا؟ أَإِنْسَاناً يَلْبَسُ ثِيَاباً نَاعِمَةً؟ هَا إِنَّ لابِسِي الثِّيَابِ الْفَاخِرَةِ وَالْمُتَرَفِّهِينَ هُمْ فِي قُصُورِ الْمُلُوكِ.

26 What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.

26 إِذَنْ، مَاذَا خَرَجْتُمْ لِتَرَوْا؟ أَنَبِيًّا؟ نَعَمْ، أَقُولُ لَكُمْ، وَأَعْظَمَ مِنْ نَبِيٍّ!

27 This is the one about whom it is written: ‘Behold, I will send My messenger ahead of You, who will prepare Your way before You.’

27 فَهَذَا هُوَ الَّذِي كُتِبَ عَنْهُ: إِنِّي مُرْسِلٌ قُدَّامَكَ مَلاكِي الَّذِي يُمَهِّدُ لَكَ طَرِيقَكَ.

28 I tell you, among those born of women there is no one greater than John, yet even the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.”

28 فَإِنِّي أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ بَيْنَ مَنْ وَلَدَتْهُمُ النِّسَاءُ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ يُوحَنَّا، وَلكِنَّ الأَصْغَرَ فِي مَلَكُوتِ اللهِ أَعْظَمُ مِنْهُ!»

29 All the people who heard this, even the tax collectors, acknowledged God’s justice. For they had received the baptism of John.

29 وَلَمَّا سَمِعَ ذلِكَ جَمِيعُ الشَّعْبِ، حَتَّى جُبَاةُ الضَّرَائِبِ، اعْتَرَفُوا بِبِرِّ اللهِ إِذْ كَانُوا قَدْ تَعَمَّدُوا بِمَعْمُودِيَّةِ يُوحَنَّا؛

30 But the Pharisees and experts in the law rejected God’s purpose for themselves, because they had not been baptized by John.

30 وَأَمَّا الْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ وَعُلَمَاءُ الشَّرِيعَةِ؛ فَقَدْ رَفَضُوا قَصْدَ اللهِ مِنْ نَحْوِهِمْ إِذْ لَمْ يَكُونُوا قَدْ تَعَمَّدُوا عَلَى يَدِهِ.

31 “To what, then, can I compare the men of this generation? What are they like?

31 «فَبِمَنْ أُشَبِّهُ إِذَنْ أَهْلَ هَذَا الْجِيلِ؟ وَمَنْ يُشْبِهُونَ؟

32 They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling out to one another: ‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not weep.’

32 إِنَّهُمْ يُشْبِهُونَ أَوْلاداً جَالِسِينَ فِي السَّاحَةِ الْعَامَّةِ، يُنَادِي بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضاً قَائِلِينَ: زَمَّرْنَا لَكُمْ، فَلَمْ تَرْقُصُوا؛ ثُمَّ نَدَبْنَا لَكُمْ، فَلَمْ تَبْكُوا!

33 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon!’

33 فَقَدْ جَاءَ يُوحَنَّا الْمَعْمَدَانُ لَا يَأْكُلُ وَلا يَشْرَبُ خَمْراً، فَقُلْتُمْ: إِنَّ شَيْطَاناً يَسْكُنُهُ.

34 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look at this glutton and drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’

34 ثُمَّ جَاءَ ابْنُ الإِنْسَانِ يَأْكُلُ وَيَشْرَبُ، فَقُلْتُمْ: هَذَا رَجُلٌ شَرِهٌ سِكِّيرٌ، صَدِيقٌ لِجُبَاةِ الضَّرَائِبِ وَالْخَاطِئِينَ؛

35 But wisdom is vindicated by all her children.”

35 وَلكِنَّ الْحِكْمَةَ قَدْ بَرَّرَهَا جَمِيعُ أَبْنَائِهَا».

36 Then one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to eat with him, and He entered the Pharisee’s house and reclined at the table.

36 وَلكِنَّ وَاحِداً مِنَ الْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ طَلَبَ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يَأْكُلَ عِنْدَهُ. فَدَخَلَ بَيْتَ الْفَرِّيسِيِّ وَاتَّكَأَ.

37 When a sinful woman from that town learned that Jesus was dining there, she brought an alabaster jar of perfume.

37 وَكَانَ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ امْرَأَةٌ خَاطِئَةٌ، فَمَا إِنْ عَلِمَتْ أَنَّهُ مُتَّكِئٌ فِي بَيْتِ الْفَرِّيسِيِّ، حَتَّى جَاءَتْ تَحْمِلُ قَارُورَةَ عِطْرٍ،

38 As she stood behind Him at His feet weeping, she began to wet His feet with her tears and wipe them with her hair. Then she kissed His feet and anointed them with the perfume.

38 وَوَقَفَتْ مِنْ وَرَائِهِ عِنْدَ قَدَمَيْهِ بَاكِيَةً، وَأَخَذَتْ تَبُلُّ قَدَمَيْهِ بِالدُّمُوعِ وَتَمْسَحُهُمَا بِشَعْرِ رَأْسِهَا، وَتُقَبِّلُ قَدَمَيْهِ بِحَرَارَةٍ وَتَدْهُنُهُمَا بِالْعِطْرِ.

39 When the Pharisee who had invited Jesus saw this, he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet, He would know who this is and what kind of woman is touching Him—for she is a sinner!”

39 فَلَمَّا رَأَى الْفَرِّيسِيُّ الَّذِي دَعَاهُ ذلِكَ، حَدَّثَ نَفْسَهُ قَائِلاً: «لَوْ كَانَ هَذَا نَبِيًّا، لَعَلِمَ مَنْ هِيَ هذِهِ الْمَرْأَةُ الَّتِي تَلْمَسُهُ، وَمَا حَالُهَا؛ فَإِنَّهَا خَاطِئَةٌ!»

40 But Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” “Tell me, Teacher,” he said.

40 فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِ يَسُوعُ قَائِلاً: «يَا سِمْعَانُ، عِنْدِي شَيْءٌ أَقُولُهُ لَكَ». أَجَابَ: «قُلْ يَا مُعَلِّمُ!»

41 “Two men were debtors to a certain moneylender. One owed him five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.

41 فَقَالَ: «كَانَ لأَحَدِ الْمُتَعَامِلِينَ بِالدَّيْنِ، دَيْنٌ عَلَى اثْنَيْنِ: عَلَى أَحَدِهِمَا خَمْسُ مِئَةِ دِينَارٍ، وَعَلَى الآخَرِ خَمْسُونَ.

42 When they were unable to repay him, he forgave both of them. Which one, then, will love him more?”

42 وَلكِنْ إِذْ لَمْ يَكُنْ عِنْدَهُمَا مَا يَدْفَعَانِهِ وَفَاءً لِلدَّيْنِ، سَامَحَهُمَا كِلَيْهِمَا. فَأَيُّهُمَا يَكُونُ أَكْثَرَ حُبّاً لَهُ؟»

43 “I suppose the one who was forgiven more,” Simon replied. “You have judged correctly,” Jesus said.

43 فَأَجَابَ سِمْعَانُ: «أَظُنُّ الَّذِي سَامَحَهُ بِالدَّيْنِ الأَكْبَرِ». فَقَالَ لَهُ: «حَكَمْتَ حُكْماً صَحِيحاً!»

44 And turning toward the woman, He said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? When I entered your house, you did not give Me water for My feet, but she wet My feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.

44 ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ إِلَى الْمَرْأَةِ، وَقَالَ لِسِمْعَانَ: «أَتَرَى هذِهِ الْمَرْأَةَ؟ إِنِّي دَخَلْتُ بَيْتَكَ وَلَمْ تُقَدِّمْ لِي مَاءً لِغَسْلِ قَدَمَيَّ! أَمَّا هِيَ، فَقَدْ غَسَلَتْ قَدَمَيَّ بِالدُّمُوعِ وَمَسَحَتْهُمَا بِشَعْرِهَا.

45 You did not greet Me with a kiss, but she has not stopped kissing My feet since I arrived.

45 أَنْتَ لَمْ تُقَبِّلْنِي قُبْلَةً وَاحِدَةً! أَمَّا هِيَ، فَمُنْذُ دُخُولِي لَمْ تَتَوَقَّفْ عَنْ تَقْبِيلِ قَدَمَيَّ.

46 You did not anoint My head with oil, but she has anointed My feet with perfume.

46 أَنْتَ لَمْ تَدْهُنْ رَأْسِي بِزَيْتٍ! أَمَّا هِيَ، فَقَدْ دَهَنَتْ قَدَمَيَّ بِالْعِطْرِ.

47 Therefore I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven, for she has loved much. But he who has been forgiven little loves little.”

47 لِهَذَا السَّبَبِ أَقُولُ لَكَ: إِنَّ خَطَايَاهَا الْكَثِيرَةَ قَدْ غُفِرَتْ، لِهَذَا أَحَبَّتْ كَثِيراً. وَلكِنَّ الَّذِي يُغْفَرُ لَهُ الْقَلِيلُ، يُحِبُّ قَلِيلاً!»

48 Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”

48 ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهَا: «مَغْفُورَةٌ لَكِ خَطَايَاكِ!»

49 But those at the table began to say to themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”

49 فَأَخَذَ الْحَاضِرُونَ يُسَائِلُونَ أَنْفُسَهُمْ: «مَنْ هُوَ هَذَا الَّذِي يَغْفِرُ الْخَطَايَا أَيْضاً؟»

50 And Jesus told the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”

50 وَقَالَ لِلْمَرْأَةِ: «إِيمَانُكِ قَدْ خَلَّصَكِ. اذْهَبِي بِسَلامٍ!»
