Mark 12

1 Then Jesus began to speak to them in parables: “A man planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a wine vat, and built a watchtower. Then he rented it out to some tenants and went away on a journey.

1 وَٱبْتَدَأَ يَقُولُ لَهُمْ بِأَمْثَالٍ: «إِنْسَانٌ غَرَسَ كَرْمًا وَأَحَاطَهُ بِسِيَاجٍ، وَحَفَرَ حَوْضَ مَعْصَرَةٍ، وَبَنَى بُرْجًا، وَسَلَّمَهُ إِلَى كَرَّامِينَ وَسَافَرَ.

2 At harvest time, he sent a servant to the tenants to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard.

2 ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ إِلَى ٱلْكَرَّامِينَ فِي ٱلْوَقْتِ عَبْدًا لِيَأْخُذَ مِنَ ٱلْكَرَّامِينَ مِنْ ثَمَرِ ٱلْكَرْمِ،

3 But they seized the servant, beat him, and sent him away empty-handed.

3 فَأَخَذُوهُ وَجَلَدُوهُ وَأَرْسَلُوهُ فَارِغًا.

4 Then he sent them another servant, and they struck him over the head and treated him shamefully.

4 ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِمْ أَيْضًا عَبْدًا آخَرَ، فَرَجَمُوهُ وَشَجُّوهُ وَأَرْسَلُوهُ مُهَانًا.

5 He sent still another, and this one they killed. He sent many others; some they beat and others they killed.

5 ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ أَيْضًا آخَرَ، فَقَتَلُوهُ. ثُمَّ آخَرِينَ كَثِيرِينَ، فَجَلَدُوا مِنْهُمْ بَعْضًا وَقَتَلُوا بَعْضًا.

6 Finally, having one beloved son, he sent him to them. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said.

6 فَإِذْ كَانَ لَهُ أَيْضًا ٱبْنٌ وَاحِدٌ حَبِيبٌ إِلَيْهِ،أَرْسَلَهُ أَيْضًا إِلَيْهِمْ أَخِيرًا، قَائِلًا: إِنَّهُمْ يَهَابُونَ ٱبْنِي!

7 But the tenants said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’

7 وَلَكِنَّ أُولَئِكَ ٱلْكَرَّامِينَ قَالُوا فِيمَا بَيْنَهُمْ: هَذَا هُوَ ٱلْوَارِثُ! هَلُمُّوا نَقْتُلْهُ فَيَكُونَ لَنَا ٱلْمِيرَاثُ!

8 So they seized the son, killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.

8 فَأَخَذُوهُ وَقَتَلُوهُ وَأَخْرَجُوهُ خَارِجَ ٱلْكَرْمِ.

9 What then will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and kill those tenants and give the vineyard to others.

9 فَمَاذَا يَفْعَلُ صَاحِبُ ٱلْكَرْمِ؟ يَأْتِي وَيُهْلِكُ ٱلْكَرَّامِينَ، وَيُعْطِي ٱلْكَرْمَ إِلَى آخَرِينَ.

10 Have you never read this Scripture: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.

10 أَمَا قَرَأْتُمْ هَذَا ٱلْمَكْتُوبَ: ٱلْحَجَرُ ٱلَّذِي رَفَضَهُ ٱلْبَنَّاؤُونَ، هُوَ قَدْ صَارَ رَأْسَ ٱلزَّاوِيَةِ؟

11 This is from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?”

11 مِنْ قِبَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ كَانَ هَذَا، وَهُوَ عَجِيبٌ فِي أَعْيُنِنَا!».

12 At this, the leaders sought to arrest Jesus, for they knew that He had spoken this parable against them. But fearing the crowd, they left Him and went away.

12 فَطَلَبُوا أَنْ يُمْسِكُوهُ، وَلَكِنَّهُمْ خَافُوا مِنَ ٱلْجَمْعِ، لِأَنَّهُمْ عَرَفُوا أَنَّهُ قَالَ ٱلْمَثَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ. فَتَرَكُوهُ وَمَضَوْا.

13 Later, they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to catch Jesus in His words.

13 ثُمَّ أَرْسَلُوا إِلَيْهِ قَوْمًا مِنَ ٱلْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ وَٱلْهِيرُودُسِيِّينَ لِكَيْ يَصْطَادُوهُ بِكِلْمَةٍ.

14 “Teacher,” they said, “we know that You are honest and seek favor from no one. Indeed, You are impartial and teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not? Should we pay them or not?”

14 فَلَمَّا جَاءُوا قَالُوا لَهُ: «يَا مُعَلِّمُ، نَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ صَادِقٌ وَلَا تُبَالِي بِأَحَدٍ، لِأَنَّكَ لَا تَنْظُرُ إِلَى وُجُوهِ ٱلنَّاسِ، بَلْ بِٱلْحَقِّ تُعَلِّمُ طَرِيقَ ٱللهِ. أَيَجُوزُ أَنْ تُعْطَى جِزْيَةٌ لِقَيْصَرَ أَمْ لَا؟ نُعْطِي أَمْ لَا نُعْطِي؟».

15 But Jesus saw through their hypocrisy and said, “Why are you testing Me? Bring Me a denarius to inspect.”

15 فَعَلِمَ رِيَاءَهُمْ، وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «لِمَاذَا تُجَرِّبُونَنِي؟ اِيتُونِي بِدِينَارٍ لِأَنْظُرَهُ».

16 So they brought it, and He asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?” “Caesar’s,” they answered.

16 فَأَتَوْا بِهِ. فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «لِمَنْ هَذِهِ ٱلصُّورَةُ وَٱلْكِتَابَةُ؟». فَقَالُوا لَهُ: «لِقَيْصَرَ».

17 Then Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.” And they marveled at Him.

17 فَأَجَابَ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَعْطُوا مَا لِقَيْصَرَ لِقَيْصَرَ وَمَا لِلهِ لِلهِ». فَتَعَجَّبُوا مِنْهُ.

18 Then the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus and questioned Him:

18 وَجَاءَ إِلَيْهِ قَوْمٌ مِنَ ٱلصَّدُّوقِيِّينَ، ٱلَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ لَيْسَ قِيَامَةٌ، وَسَأَلُوهُ قَائِلِينَ:

19 “Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man is to marry his brother’s widow and raise up offspring for him.

19 «يَا مُعَلِّمُ، كَتَبَ لَنَا مُوسَى: إِنْ مَاتَ لِأَحَدٍ أَخٌ، وَتَرَكَ ٱمْرَأَةً وَلَمْ يُخَلِّفْ أَوْلَادًا، أَنْ يَأْخُذَ أَخُوهُ ٱمْرَأَتَهُ، وَيُقِيمَ نَسْلًا لِأَخِيهِ.

20 Now there were seven brothers. The first one married and died, leaving no children.

20 فَكَانَ سَبْعَةُ إِخْوَةٍ. أَخَذَ ٱلْأَوَّلُ ٱمْرَأَةً وَمَاتَ، وَلَمْ يَتْرُكْ نَسْلًا.

21 Then the second one married the widow, but he also died and left no children. And the third did likewise.

21 فَأَخَذَهَا ٱلثَّانِي وَمَاتَ، وَلَمْ يَتْرُكْ هُوَ أَيْضًا نَسْلًا. وَهَكَذَا ٱلثَّالِثُ.

22 In this way, none of the seven left any children. And last of all, the woman died.

22 فَأَخَذَهَا ٱلسَّبْعَةُ، وَلَمْ يَتْرُكُوا نَسْلًا. وَآخِرَ ٱلْكُلِّ مَاتَتِ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ أَيْضًا.

23 In the resurrection, then, whose wife will she be? For all seven were married to her.”

23 فَفِي ٱلْقِيَامَةِ، مَتَى قَامُوا، لِمَنْ مِنْهُمْ تَكُونُ زَوْجَةً؟ لِأَنَّهَا كَانَتْ زَوْجَةً لِلسَّبْعَةِ».

24 Jesus said to them, “Aren’t you mistaken, because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God?

24 فَأَجَابَ يَسُوعُ وقَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَلَيْسَ لِهَذَا تَضِلُّونَ، إِذْ لَا تَعْرِفُونَ ٱلْكُتُبَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ ٱللهِ؟

25 When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage. Instead, they will be like the angels in heaven.

25 لِأَنَّهُمْ مَتَى قَامُوا مِنَ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ لَا يُزَوِّجُونَ وَلَا يُزَوَّجُونَ، بَلْ يَكُونُونَ كَمَلَائِكَةٍ فِي ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ.

26 But concerning the dead rising, have you not read about the burning bush in the Book of Moses, how God told him, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’?

26 وَأَمَّا مِنْ جِهَةِ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ إِنَّهُمْ يَقُومُونَ: أَفَمَا قَرَأْتُمْ فِي كِتَابِ مُوسَى، فِي أَمْرِ ٱلْعُلَّيْقَةِ، كَيْفَ كَلَّمَهُ ٱللهُ قَائِلًا: أَنَا إِلَهُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِلَهُ إِسْحَاقَ وَإِلَهُ يَعْقُوبَ؟

27 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are badly mistaken!”

27 لَيْسَ هُوَ إِلَهَ أَمْوَاتٍ بَلْ إِلَهُ أَحْيَاءٍ. فَأَنْتُمْ إِذًا تَضِلُّونَ كَثِيرًا!».

28 Now one of the scribes had come up and heard their debate. Noticing how well Jesus had answered them, he asked Him, “Which commandment is the most important of all?”

28 فَجَاءَ وَاحِدٌ مِنَ ٱلْكَتَبَةِ وَسَمِعَهُمْ يَتَحَاوَرُونَ، فَلَمَّا رَأَى أَنَّهُ أَجَابَهُمْ حَسَنًا، سَأَلَهُ: «أَيَّةُ وَصِيَّةٍ هِيَ أَوَّلُ ٱلْكُلِّ؟».

29 Jesus replied, “This is the most important: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One.

29 فَأَجَابَهُ يَسُوعُ: «إِنَّ أَوَّلَ كُلِّ ٱلْوَصَايَا هِيَ: ٱسْمَعْ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ. ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا رَبٌّ وَاحِدٌ.

30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’

30 وَتُحِبُّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ مِنْ كُلِّ قَلْبِكَ، وَمِنْ كُلِّ نَفْسِكَ، وَمِنْ كُلِّ فِكْرِكَ، وَمِنْ كُلِّ قُدْرَتِكَ. هَذِهِ هِيَ ٱلْوَصِيَّةُ ٱلْأُولَى.

31 The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these.”

31 وَثَانِيَةٌ مِثْلُهَا هِيَ: تُحِبُّ قَرِيبَكَ كَنَفْسِكَ. لَيْسَ وَصِيَّةٌ أُخْرَى أَعْظَمَ مِنْ هَاتَيْنِ».

32 “Right, Teacher,” the scribe replied. “You have stated correctly that God is One and there is no other but Him,

32 فَقَالَ لَهُ ٱلْكَاتِبُ: «جَيِّدًا يَامُعَلِّمُ. بِٱلْحَقِّ قُلْتَ، لِأَنَّهُ ٱللهُ وَاحِدٌ وَلَيْسَ آخَرُ سِوَاهُ.

33 and to love Him with all your heart and with all your understanding and with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself. This is more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.”

33 وَمَحَبَّتُهُ مِنْ كُلِّ ٱلْقَلْبِ، وَمِنْ كُلِّ ٱلْفَهْمِ، وَمِنْ كُلِّ ٱلنَّفْسِ، وَمِنْ كُلِّ ٱلْقُدْرَةِ، وَمَحَبَّةُ ٱلْقَرِيبِ كَٱلنَّفْسِ، هِيَ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلْمُحْرَقَاتِ وَٱلذَّبَائِحِ».

34 When Jesus saw that the man had answered wisely, He said, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” And no one dared to question Him any further.

34 فَلَمَّا رَآهُ يَسُوعُ أَنَّهُ أَجَابَ بِعَقْلٍ، قَالَ لَهُ: «لَسْتَ بَعِيدًا عَنْ مَلَكُوتِ ٱللهِ». وَلَمْ يَجْسُرْ أَحَدٌ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أَنْ يَسْأَلَهُ!

35 While Jesus was teaching in the temple courts, He asked, “How can the scribes say that the Christ is the Son of David?

35 ثُمَّ أَجَابَ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ وَهُوَ يُعَلِّمُ فِي ٱلْهَيْكَلِ: «كَيْفَ يَقُولُ ٱلْكَتَبَةُ إِنَّ ٱلْمَسِيحَ ٱبْنُ دَاوُدَ؟

36 Speaking by the Holy Spirit, David himself declared: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand until I put Your enemies under Your feet.”’

36 لِأَنَّ دَاوُدَ نَفْسَهُ قَالَ بِٱلرُّوحِ ٱلْقُدُسِ: قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِرَبِّي: ٱجْلِسْ عَنْ يَمِينِي، حَتَّى أَضَعَ أَعْدَاءَكَ مَوْطِئًا لِقَدَمَيْكَ.

37 David himself calls Him ‘Lord.’ So how can He be David’s son?” And the large crowd listened to Him with delight.

37 فَدَاوُدُ نَفْسُهُ يَدْعُوهُ رَبًّا. فَمِنْ أَيْنَ هُوَ ٱبْنُهُ؟». وَكَانَ ٱلْجَمْعُ ٱلْكَثِيرُ يَسْمَعُهُ بِسُرُورٍ.

38 In His teaching Jesus also said, “Watch out for the scribes. They like to walk around in long robes, to receive greetings in the marketplaces,

38 وَقَالَ لَهُمْ فِي تَعْلِيمِهِ: «تَحَرَّزُوا مِنَ ٱلْكَتَبَةِ، ٱلَّذِينَ يَرْغَبُونَ ٱلْمَشْيَ بِٱلطَّيَالِسَةِ، وَٱلتَّحِيَّاتِ فِي ٱلْأَسْوَاقِ،

39 and to have the chief seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets.

39 وَٱلْمَجَالِسَ ٱلْأُولَى فِي ٱلْمَجَامِعِ، وَٱلْمُتَّكَآتِ ٱلْأُولَى فِي ٱلْوَلَائِمِ.

40 They defraud widows of their houses, and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will receive greater condemnation.”

40 ٱلَّذِينَ يَأْكُلُونَ بُيُوتَ ٱلْأَرَامِلِ، وَلِعِلَّةٍ يُطِيلُونَ ٱلصَّلَوَاتِ. هَؤُلَاءِ يَأْخُذُونَ دَيْنُونَةً أَعْظَمَ».

41 As Jesus was sitting opposite the treasury, He watched the crowd putting money into it. And many rich people put in large amounts.

41 وَجَلَسَ يَسُوعُ تُجَاهَ ٱلْخِزَانَةِ، وَنَظَرَ كَيْفَ يُلْقِي ٱلْجَمْعُ نُحَاسًا فِي ٱلْخِزَانَةِ. وَكَانَ أَغْنِيَاءُ كَثِيرُونَ يُلْقُونَ كَثِيرًا.

42 Then one poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which amounted to a small fraction of a denarius.

42 فَجَاءَتْ أَرْمَلَةٌ فَقِيرَةٌ وَأَلْقَتْ فَلْسَيْنِ، قِيمَتُهُمَا رُبْعٌ.

43 Jesus called His disciples to Him and said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more than all the others into the treasury.

43 فَدَعَا تَلَامِيذَهُ وَقَالَ لَهُمُ: «ٱلْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْمَلَةَ ٱلْفَقِيرَةَ قَدْ أَلْقَتْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلَّذِينَ أَلْقَوْا فِي ٱلْخِزَانَةِ،

44 For they all contributed out of their surplus, but she out of her poverty has put in all she had to live on.”

44 لِأَنَّ ٱلْجَمِيعَ مِنْ فَضْلَتِهِمْ أَلْقَوْا، وَأَمَّا هَذِهِ فَمِنْ إِعْوَازِهَا أَلْقَتْ كُلَّ مَا عِنْدَهَا، كُلَّ مَعِيشَتِهَا».
