Luke 7

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

1 وَلَمَّا أَكْمَلَ أَقْوَالَهُ كُلَّهَا فِي مَسَامِعِ ٱلشَّعْبِ دَخَلَ كَفْرَنَاحُومَ.

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

2 وَكَانَ عَبْدٌ لِقَائِدِ مِئَةٍ، مَرِيضًا مُشْرِفًا عَلَى ٱلْمَوْتِ، وَكَانَ عَزِيزًا عِنْدَهُ.

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

3 فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ عَنْ يَسُوعَ، أَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ شُيُوخَ ٱلْيَهُودِ يَسْأَلُهُ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ وَيَشْفِيَ عَبْدَهُ.

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

4 فَلَمَّا جَاءُوا إِلَى يَسُوعَ طَلَبُوا إِلَيْهِ بِٱجْتِهَادٍ قَائِلِينَ: «إِنَّهُ مُسْتَحِقٌّ أَنْ يُفْعَلَ لَهُ هَذَا،

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

5 لِأَنَّهُ يُحِبُّ أُمَّتَنَا، وَهُوَ بَنَى لَنَا ٱلْمَجْمَعَ».

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 فَذَهَبَ يَسُوعُ مَعَهُمْ. وَإِذْ كَانَ غَيْرَ بَعِيدٍ عَنِ ٱلْبَيْتِ، أَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ قَائِدُ ٱلْمِئَةِ أَصْدِقَاءَ يَقُولُ لَهُ: «يَا سَيِّدُ، لَا تَتْعَبْ. لِأَنِّي لَسْتُ مُسْتَحِقًّا أَنْ تَدْخُلَ تَحْتَ سَقْفِي.

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 لِذَلِكَ لَمْ أَحْسِبْ نَفْسِي أَهْلًا أَنْ آتِيَ إِلَيْكَ. لَكِنْ قُلْ كَلِمَةً فَيَبْرَأَ غُلَامِي.

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 لِأَنِّي أَنَا أَيْضًا إِنْسَانٌ مُرَتَّبٌ تَحْتَ سُلْطَانٍ، لِي جُنْدٌ تَحْتَ يَدِي. وَأَقُولُ لِهَذَا: ٱذْهَبْ! فَيَذْهَبُ، وَلِآخَرَ: ٱئْتِ! فَيَأْتِي، وَلِعَبْدِي: ٱفْعَلْ 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 وَلَمَّا سَمِعَ يَسُوعُ هَذَا تَعَجَّبَ مِنْهُ، وَٱلْتَفَتَ إِلَى ٱلْجَمْعِ ٱلَّذِي يَتْبَعُهُ وَقَالَ: «أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: لَمْ أَجِدْ وَلَا فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِيمَانًا بِمِقْدَارِ هَذَا!».

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

10 وَرَجَعَ ٱلْمُرْسَلُونَ إِلَى ٱلْبَيْتِ، فَوَجَدُوا ٱلْعَبْدَ ٱلْمَرِيضَ قَدْ صَحَّ.

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

11 وَفِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلتَّالِي ذَهَبَ إِلَى مَدِينَةٍ تُدْعَى نَايِينَ، وَذَهَبَ مَعَهُ كَثِيرُونَ مِنْ تَلَامِيذِهِ وَجَمْعٌ كَثِيرٌ.

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 فَلَمَّا ٱقْتَرَبَ إِلَى بَابِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، إِذَا مَيْتٌ مَحْمُولٌ، ٱبْنٌ وَحِيدٌ لِأُمِّهِ، وَهِيَ أَرْمَلَةٌ وَمَعَهَا جَمْعٌ كَثِيرٌ مِنَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ.

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

13 فَلَمَّا رَآهَا ٱلرَّبُّ تَحَنَّنَ عَلَيْهَا، وَقَالَ لَهَا: «لَا 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 ٱلنَّعْشَ، فَوَقَفَ ٱلْحَامِلُونَ. فَقَالَ: «أَيُّهَا ٱلشَّابُّ، لَكَ أَقُولُ: قُمْ!».

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

15 فَجَلَسَ ٱلْمَيْتُ وَٱبْتَدَأَ يَتَكَلَّمُ، فَدَفَعَهُ 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 فَأَخَذَ ٱلْجَمِيعَ خَوْفٌ، وَمَجَّدُوا ٱللهَ قَائِلِينَ: «قَدْ قَامَ فِينَا نَبِيٌّ عَظِيمٌ، وَٱفْتَقَدَ ٱللهُ شَعْبَهُ».

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

17 وَخَرَجَ هَذَا ٱلْخَبَرُ عَنْهُ فِي كُلِّ ٱلْيَهُودِيَّةِ وَفِي جَمِيعِ ٱلْكُورَةِ ٱلْمُحِيطَةِ.

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

18 فَأَخْبَرَ يُوحَنَّا تَلَامِيذُهُ بِهَذَا كُلِّهِ.

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 فَدَعَا يُوحَنَّا ٱثْنَيْنِ مِنْ تَلَامِيذِهِ، وَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى يَسُوعَ قَائِلًا: «أَنْتَ هُوَ ٱلْآتِي 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 إِلَيْهِ ٱلرَّجُلَانِ قَالَا: «يُوحَنَّا ٱلْمَعْمَدَانُ قَدْ أَرْسَلَنَا إِلَيْكَ قَائِلًا: أَنْتَ هُوَ ٱلْآتِي 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 ٱلسَّاعَةِ شَفَى كَثِيرِينَ مِنْ أَمْرَاضٍ وَأَدْوَاءٍ وَأَرْوَاحٍ شِرِّيرَةٍ، وَوَهَبَ ٱلْبَصَرَ 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 فَأَجَابَ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ لَهُماَ: «ٱذْهَبَا وَأَخْبِرَا يُوحَنَّا بِمَا رَأَيْتُمَا وَسَمِعْتُمَا: إِنَّ ٱلْعُمْيَ يُبْصِرُونَ، وَٱلْعُرْجَ يَمْشُونَ، وَٱلْبُرْصَ يُطَهَّرُونَ،وَٱلصُّمَّ يَسْمَعُونَ، وَٱلْمَوْتَى يَقُومُونَ، وَٱلْمَسَاكِينَ يُبَشَّرُونَ.

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

23 وَطُوبَى لِمَنْ لَا يَعْثُرُ 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 فَلَمَّا مَضَى رَسُولَا يُوحَنَّا، ٱبْتَدَأَ يَقُولُ لِلْجُمُوعِ عَنْ يُوحَنَّا: «مَاذَا خَرَجْتُمْ إِلَى ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ لِتَنْظُرُوا؟ أَقَصَبَةً تُحَرِّكُهَا ٱلرِّيحُ؟

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 لِتَنْظُرُوا؟ أَإِنْسَانًا لَابِسًا ثِيَابًا نَاعِمَةً؟ هُوَذَا ٱلَّذِينَ فِي ٱللِّبَاسِ ٱلْفَاخِرِ وَٱلتَّنَعُّمِ هُمْ فِي قُصُورِ ٱلْمُلُوكِ.

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

26 بَلْ مَاذَا خَرَجْتُمْ لِتَنْظُرُوا؟ أَنَبِيًّا؟ نَعَمْ، أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: وَأَفْضَلَ 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 هَذَا هُوَ ٱلَّذِي كُتِبَ عَنْهُ: هَا أَنَا أُرْسِلُ أَمَامَ وَجْهِكَ مَلَاكِي ٱلَّذِي يُهَيِّئُ طَرِيقَكَ قُدَّامَكَ!

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 لِأَنِّي أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّهُ بَيْنَ ٱلْمَوْلُودِينَ مِنَ ٱلنِّسَاءِ لَيْسَ نَبِيٌّ أَعْظَمَ مِنْ يُوحَنَّا ٱلْمَعْمَدَانِ، وَلَكِنَّ ٱلْأَصْغَرَ فِي مَلَكُوتِ ٱللهِ 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 وَجَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ إِذْ سَمِعُوا وَٱلْعَشَّارُونَ بَرَّرُوا ٱللهَ مُعْتَمِدِينَ 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 ٱلْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ وَٱلنَّامُوسِيُّونَ فَرَفَضُوا مَشُورَةَ ٱللهِ مِنْ جِهَةِ أَنْفُسِهِمْ، غَيْرَ مُعْتَمِدِينَ مِنْهُ.

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

31 ثُمَّ قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «فَبِمَنْ أُشَبِّهُ أُنَاسَ هَذَا ٱلْجِيلِ؟ وَمَاذَا 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 يُشْبِهُونَ أَوْلَادًا جَالِسِينَ فِي ٱلسُّوقِ يُنَادُونَ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا وَيَقُولُونَ: زَمَّرْنَا لَكُمْ فَلَمْ تَرْقُصُوا. نُحْنَا لَكُمْ فَلَمْ تَبْكُوا.

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

33 لِأَنَّهُ جَاءَ يُوحَنَّا ٱلْمَعْمَدَانُ لَا يَأْكُلُ خُبْزًا وَلَا يَشْرَبُ خَمْرًا، فَتَقُولُونَ: بِهِ شَيْطَانٌ.

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 جَاءَ ٱبْنُ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ يَأْكُلُ وَيَشْرَبُ، فَتَقُولُونَ: هُوَذَا إِنْسَانٌ أَكُولٌ وَشِرِّيبُ خَمْرٍ، مُحِبٌّ لِلْعَشَّارِينَ وَٱلْخُطَاةِ.

35 But wisdom is vindicated by all her children.”

35 وَٱلْحِكْمَةُ تَبَرَّرَتْ مِنْ جَمِيعِ بَنِيهَا».

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 وَسَأَلَهُ وَاحِدٌ مِنَ ٱلْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ أَنْ يَأْكُلَ مَعَهُ، فَدَخَلَ بَيْتَ ٱلْفَرِّيسِيِّ وَٱتَّكَأَ.

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

37 وَإِذَا ٱمْرَأَةٌ فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ كَانَتْ خَاطِئَةً، إِذْ عَلِمَتْ أَنَّهُ مُتَّكِئٌ فِي بَيْتِ ٱلْفَرِّيسِيِّ، جَاءَتْ بِقَارُورَةِ طِيبٍ،

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 عِنْدَ قَدَمَيْهِ مِنْ وَرَائِهِ بَاكِيَةً، وَٱبْتَدَأَتْ تَبُلُّ قَدَمَيْهِ بِٱلدُّمُوعِ، وَكَانَتْ تَمْسَحُهُمَا بِشَعْرِ رَأْسِهَا، وَتُقَبِّلُ قَدَمَيْهِ وَتَدْهَنُهُمَا بِٱلطِّيبِ.

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 ٱلْفَرِّيسِيُّ ٱلَّذِي دَعَاهُ ذَلِكَ، تَكَلَّمَ فِي نَفْسِهِ قَائِلًا: «لَوْ كَانَ هَذَا نَبِيًّا، لَعَلِمَ مَنْ هَذِهِ ٱلِٱمْرَأَةُ ٱلَّتِي تَلْمِسُهُ وَمَا هِيَ! إِنَّهَا خَاطِئَةٌ».

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

40 فَأَجَابَ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «يَا سِمْعَانُ، عِنْدِي شَيْءٌ أَقُولُهُ لَكَ». فَقَالَ: «قُلْ، يَا مُعَلِّمُ».

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

41 «كَانَ لِمُدَايِنٍ مَدْيُونَانِ. عَلَى ٱلْوَاحِدِ خَمْسُمِئَةِ دِينَارٍ وَعَلَى ٱلْآخَرِ خَمْسُونَ.

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

42 وَإِذْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُمَا مَا يُوفِيَانِ سَامَحَهُمَا جَمِيعًا. فَقُلْ: أَيُّهُمَا يَكُونُ أَكْثَرَ حُبًّا لَهُ؟».

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

43 فَأَجَابَ سِمْعَانُ وَقَالَ: «أَظُنُّ ٱلَّذِي سَامَحَهُ بِٱلْأَكْثَرِ». فَقَالَ لَهُ: «بِٱلصَّوَابِ حَكَمْتَ».

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 ٱلْتَفَتَ إِلَى ٱلْمَرْأَةِ وَقَالَ لِسِمْعَانَ: «أَتَنْظُرُ هَذِهِ ٱلْمَرْأَةَ؟ إِنِّي دَخَلْتُ بَيْتَكَ، وَمَاءً لِأَجْلِ رِجْلَيَّ لَمْ تُعْطِ. وَأَمَّا هِيَ فَقَدْ غَسَلَتْ رِجْلَيَّ بِٱلدُّمُوعِ وَمَسَحَتْهُمَا بِشَعْرِ رَأْسِهَا.

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

45 قُبْلَةً لَمْ تُقَبِّلْنِي، وَأَمَّا هِيَ فَمُنْذُ دَخَلْتُ لَمْ تَكُفَّ عَنْ تَقْبِيلِ رِجْلَيَّ.

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

46 بِزَيْتٍ لَمْ تَدْهُنْ رَأْسِي، وَأَمَّا هِيَ فَقَدْ دَهَنَتْ بِٱلطِّيبِ رِجْلَيَّ.

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 مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ أَقُولُ لَكَ: قَدْ غُفِرَتْ خَطَايَاهَا ٱلْكَثِيرَةُ، لِأَنَّهَا أَحَبَّتْ كَثِيرًا. وَٱلَّذِي يُغْفَرُ لَهُ قَلِيلٌ يُحِبُّ قَلِيلًا».

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 فَٱبْتَدَأَ ٱلْمُتَّكِئُونَ مَعَهُ يَقُولُونَ فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ: «مَنْ هَذَا ٱلَّذِي يَغْفِرُ خَطَايَا أَيْضًا؟».

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

50 فَقَالَ لِلْمَرْأَةِ: «إِيمَانُكِ قَدْ خَلَّصَكِ، اِذْهَبِي بِسَلَامٍ».
