Matthew 10

1 And calling His twelve disciples to Him, Jesus gave them authority over unclean spirits, so that they could drive them out and heal every disease and sickness.

1 ثُمَّ دَعَا إِلَيْهِ تَلامِيذَهُ الاثْنَيْ عَشَرَ، وَأَعْطَاهُمْ سُلْطَانَاً عَلَى الأَرْوَاحِ النَّجِسَةِ لِيَطْرُدُوهَا وَيَشْفُوا كُلَّ مَرَضٍ وَعِلَّةٍ.

2 These are the names of the twelve apostles: first Simon, called Peter, and his brother Andrew; James son of Zebedee, and his brother John;

2 وَهَذِهِ أَسْمَاءُ الِاثْنَيْ عَشَرَ رَسُولاً: سِمْعَانُ الَّذِي دُعِيَ بُطْرُسَ، وَأَنْدَرَاوُسُ أَخُوهُ، وَيَعْقُوبُ بْنُ زَبَدِي، وَيُوحَنَّا أَخُوهُ؛

3 Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;

3 فِيلِبُّسُ، وَبَرْثُلْمَاوُسُ؛ تُومَا، وَمَتَّى جَابِي الضَّرَائِبِ؛ يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ حَلْفَى، وَتَدَّاوُسُ؛

4 Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus.

4 سِمْعَانُ الْقَانَوِيُّ؛ وَيَهُوذَا الإِسْخَرْيُوطِيُّ الَّذِي خَانَهُ.

5 These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: “Do not go onto the road of the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans.

5 هؤُلاءِ الاِثْنَا عَشَرَ رَسُولاً، أَرْسَلَهُمْ يَسُوعُ وَقَدْ أَوْصَاهُمْ قَائِلاً: «لا تَسْلُكُوا طَرِيقاً إِلَى الأُمَمِ، وَلا تَدْخُلُوا مَدِينَةً سَامِرِيَّةً.

6 Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel.

6 بَلِ اذْهَبُوا بِالأَوْلَى إِلَى الْخِرَافِ الضَّالَّةِ، إِلَى بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

7 As you go, preach this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven is near.’

7 وَفِيمَا أَنْتُمْ ذَاهِبُونَ، بَشِّرُوا قَائِلِينَ: قَدِ اقْتَرَبَ مَلَكُوتُ السَّمَاوَاتِ.

8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.

8 اشْفُوا الْمَرْضَى، وَأَقِيمُوا الْمَوْتَى، وَطَهِّرُوا الْبُرْصَ، وَاطْرُدُوا الشَّيَاطِينَ. مَجَّاناً أَخَذْتُمْ، فَمَجَّاناً أَعْطُوا!

9 Do not take along any gold or silver or copper in your belts.

9 لَا تَحْمِلُوا فِي أَحْزِمَتِكُمْ ذَهَباً وَلا فِضَّةً وَلا نُحَاساً،

10 Take no bag for the road, or second tunic, or sandals, or staff; for the worker is worthy of his provisions.

10 وَلا تَأْخُذُوا لِلطَّرِيقِ زَاداً وَلا ثَوْبَيْنِ وَلا حِذَاءً وَلا عَصاً: فَإِنَّ الْعَامِلَ يَسْتَحِقُّ طَعَامَهُ.

11 Whatever town or village you enter, find out who is worthy there and stay at his house until you move on.

11 وَكُلَّمَا دَخَلْتُمْ مَدِينَةً أَوْ قَرْيَةً، فَابْحَثُوا فِيهَا عَمَّنْ هُوَ مُسْتَحِقٌّ، وَأَقِيمُوا هُنَاكَ حَتَّى تَرْحَلُوا.

12 As you enter the home, greet its occupants.

12 وَعِنْدَمَا تَدْخُلُونَ بَيْتاً، أَلْقُوا السَّلامَ عَلَيْهِ.

13 If the home is worthy, let your peace rest on it, but if it is not, let your peace return to you.

13 فَإِذَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ الْبَيْتُ مُسْتَحِقّاً فِعْلاً، فَلْيَحِلَّ سَلامُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ. وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ مُسْتَحِقّاً، فَلْيَرْجِعْ سَلامُكُمْ لَكُمْ

14 And if anyone will not welcome you or heed your words, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that home or town.

14 وَإِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ لَا يَقْبَلُكُمْ وَلا يَسْمَعُ كَلامَكُمْ فِي بَيْتٍ أَوْ مَدِينَةٍ، فَاخْرُجُوا مِنْ هُنَاكَ، وَانْفُضُوا الْغُبَارَ عَنْ أَقَدَامِكُمْ.

15 Truly I tell you, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town.

15 الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ حَالَةَ مَدِينَتَيْ سَدُومَ وَعَمُورَةَ سَوْفَ تَكُونُ فِي يَوْمِ الدَّيْنُونَةِ أَخَفَّ وَطْأَةً مِنْ حَالَةِ تِلْكَ الْمَدِينَةِ.

16 Behold, I am sending you out like sheep among wolves; therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.

16 هَا أَنَا أُرْسِلُكُمْ مِثْلَ الْخِرَافِ بَيْنَ الذِّئَابِ، فَكُونُوا مُتَنَبِّهِينَ كَالْحَيَّاتِ وَمُسَالِمِينَ كالْحَمَامِ.

17 But beware of men, for they will hand you over to their councils and flog you in their synagogues.

17 احْذَرُوا مِنَ النَّاسِ! فَإِنَّهُمْ سَيُسَلِّمُونَكُمْ إِلَى الْمَحَاكِمِ، وَيَجْلِدُونَكُمْ فِي مَجَامِعِهِمْ؛

18 On My account you will be brought before governors and kings as witnesses to them and to the Gentiles.

18 وَتُسَاقُونَ لِلْمُثُولِ أَمَامَ الْحُكَّامِ وَالْمُلُوكِ مِنْ أَجْلِي: فَيَكُونُ ذَلِكَ شَهَادَةً لِي لَدَى الْيَهُودِ وَالأُمَمِ عَلَى السَّوَاءِ.

19 But when they hand you over, do not worry about how to respond or what to say. In that hour you will be given what to say.

19 فَحِينَ يُسَلِّمُونَكُمْ، لَا تَهْتَمُّوا كَيْفَ تَتَكَلَّمُونَ أَوْ مَاذَا تَقُولُونَ. فَإِنَّكُمْ فِي تِلْكَ السَّاعَةِ يُعْطَى لَكُمْ مَا تَقُولُونَ.

20 For it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.

20 فَلَسْتُمْ أَنْتُمُ الْمُتَكَلِّمِينَ، بَلْ رُوحُ أَبِيكُمْ هُوَ الَّذِي يَتَكَلَّمُ فِيكُمْ.

21 Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; children will rise against their parents and have them put to death.

21 وَسَوْفَ يُسَلِّمُ الأَخُ أَخَاهُ إِلَى الْمَوْتِ، وَالأَبُ وَلَدَهُ. وَيَتَمَرَّدُ الأَوْلادُ عَلَى وَالِدِيهِمْ، وَيَقْتُلُونَهُمْ!

22 You will be hated by everyone because of My name, but the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.

22 وَتَكُونُونَ مَكْرُوهِينَ لَدَى الْجَمِيعِ مِنْ أَجْلِ اسْمِي. وَلَكِنَّ الَّذِي يَثْبُتُ إِلَى النِّهَايَةِ، هُوَ الَّذِي يَخْلُصُ.

23 When they persecute you in one town, flee to the next. Truly I tell you, you will not reach all the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.

23 فَإِذَا اضْطَهَدُوكُمْ فِي مَدِينَةٍ مَا، فَاهْرُبُوا إِلَى غَيْرِهَا. فَإِنِّي الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: لَنْ تَفْرَغُوا مِنْ مُدُنِ إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى أَنْ يَأْتِيَ ابْنُ الإِنْسَانِ.

24 A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master.

24 لَيْسَ التِّلْمِيذُ أفْضَلَ مِنَ الْمُعَلِّمِ، وَلا الْعَبْدُ أفْضَلَ مِنْ سَيِّدِهِ.

25 It is enough for a disciple to be like his teacher, and a servant like his master. If the head of the house has been called Beelzebul, how much more the members of his household!

25 يَكْفِي التِّلْمِيذَ أَنْ يَصِيرَ مِثْلَ مُعَلِّمِهِ، وَالْعَبْدَ مِثْلَ سَيِّدِهِ! إِنْ كَانُوا قَدْ لَقَّبُوا رَبَّ الْبَيْتِ بِبَعْلَزَبُولَ، فَكَمْ بِالأَوْلَى يُلَقِّبُونَ أَهْلَ بَيْتِهِ؟

26 So do not be afraid of them. For there is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, and nothing hidden that will not be made known.

26 فَلا تَخَافُوهُمْ: لأَنَّهُ مَا مِنْ مَحْجُوبٍ لَنْ يُكْشَفَ، وَمَا مِنْ خَفِيٍّ لَنْ يُعْلَنَ!

27 What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the housetops.

27 مَا أَقُولُهُ لَكُمْ فِي الظَّلامِ، قُولُوهُ فِي النُّورِ؛ وَمَا تَسْمَعُونَهُ هَمْساً، نَادُوا بِهِ عَلَى السُّطُوحِ.

28 Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Instead, fear the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.

28 لَا تَخَافُوا الَّذِينَ يَقْتُلُونَ الْجَسَدَ، وَلَكِنَّهُمْ يَعْجِزُونَ عَنْ قَتْلِ النَّفْسِ، بَلْ بِالأَحْرَى خَافُوا الْقَادِرَ أَنْ يُهْلِكَ النَّفْسَ وَالْجَسَدَ جَمِيعاً فِي جَهَنَّمَ.

29 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father.

29 أَمَا يُبَاعُ عُصْفُورَانِ بِفَلْسٍ وَاحِدٍ؟ وَمَعَ ذَلِكَ لَا يَقَعُ وَاحِدٌ مِنْهُمَا إِلَى الأَرْضِ دُونَ عِلْمِ أَبِيكُمْ.

30 And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

30 وَأَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَحَتَّى شَعْرُ رُؤُوسِكُمْ كُلُّهُ مَعْدُودٌ.

31 So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

31 فَلا تَخَافُوا إِذَنْ! أَنْتُمْ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ عَصَافِيرَ كَثِيرَةٍ.

32 Therefore everyone who confesses Me before men, I will also confess him before My Father in heaven.

32 كُلُّ مَنْ يَعْتَرِفُ بِي أَمَامَ النَّاسِ، أَعْتَرِفُ أَنَا أَيْضاً بِهِ أَمَامَ أَبِي الَّذِي فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ.

33 But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father in heaven.

33 وَكُلُّ مَنْ يُنْكِرُنِي أَمَامَ النَّاسِ، أُنْكِرُهُ أَنَا أَيْضاً أَمَامَ أَبِي الَّذِي فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ.

34 Do not assume that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.

34 لَا تَظُنُّوا أَنِّي جِئْتُ لأُرْسِيَ سَلاماً عَلَى الأَرْضِ. مَا جِئْتُ لأُرْسِيَ سَلاماً، بَلْ سَيْفاً.

35 For I have come to turn ‘a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.

35 فَإِنِّي جِئْتُ لأَجْعَلَ الإِنْسَانَ عَلَى خِلافٍ مَعَ أَبِيهِ، وَالْبِنْتَ مَعَ أُمِّهَا، وَالْكَنَّةَ مَعَ حَمَاتِهَا.

36 A man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’

36 وَهَكَذَا يَصِيرُ أَعْدَاءَ الإِنْسَانِ أَهْلُ بَيْتِهِ.

37 Anyone who loves his father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me;

37 مَنْ أَحَبَّ أَبَاهُ أَوْ أُمَّهُ أَكْثَرَ مِنِّي، فَلا يَسْتَحِقُّنِي. وَمَنْ أَحَبَّ ابْنَهُ أَوِ ابْنَتَهُ أَكْثَرَ مِنِّي، فَلا يَسْتَحِقُّنِي.

38 and anyone who does not take up his cross and follow Me is not worthy of Me.

38 وَمَنْ لَا يَحْمِلْ صَلِيبَهُ وَيَتْبَعْنِي، فَهُوَ لَا يَسْتَحِقُّنِي.

39 Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.

39 مَنْ يَتَمَسَّكْ بِحَيَاتِهِ، يَخْسَرْهَا؛ وَمَنْ يَخْسَرْ حَيَاتَهُ مِنْ أَجْلِي، فَإِنَّهُ يَرْبَحُهَا.

40 He who receives you receives Me, and he who receives Me receives the One who sent Me.

40 مَنْ يَقْبَلْكُمْ، يَقْبَلْنِي؛ وَمَنْ يَقْبَلْنِي، يَقْبَلِ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي.

41 Whoever receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and whoever receives a righteous man because he is a righteous man will receive a righteous man’s reward.

41 مَنْ يُرَحِّبْ بِنَبِيٍّ لِكَوْنِهِ نَبِيًّا، فَإِنَّهُ يَنَالُ مُكَافَأَةَ نَبِيٍّ؛ وَمَنْ يُرَحِّبْ بِرَجُلٍ صَالِحٍ لِكَوْنِهِ صَالِحاً، فَإِنَّهُ يَنَالُ مُكَافَأَةَ بَارٍّ.

42 And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is My disciple, truly I tell you, he will never lose his reward.”

42 وَأَيُّ مَنْ سَقَى وَاحِداً مِنْ هؤُلاءِ الصِّغَارِ وَلَوْ كَأْسَ مَاءٍ بَارِدٍ، فَقَطْ لأَنَّهُ تِلْمِيذٌ لِي، فَالْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ مُكَافَأَتَهُ لَنْ تَضِيعَ أَبَداً».
