Matthew 11

Berean Standard Bible tier 2New Arabic Version (Book of Life) tier 3
BSB

1 After Jesus had finished instructing His twelve disciples, He went on from there to teach and preach in their cities.

NAV

1 بَعْدَمَا انْتَهَى يَسُوعُ مِنْ تَوْصِيَةِ تَلامِيذِهِ الاثْنَيْ عَشَرَ، انْتَقَلَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ، وَذَهَبَ يُعَلِّمُ وَيُبَشِّرُ فِي مُدُنِهِمْ.

BSB

2 Meanwhile John heard in prison about the works of Christ, and he sent his disciples

NAV

2 وَلَمَّا سَمِعَ يُوحَنَّا، وَهُوَ فِي السِّجْنِ، بِأَعْمَالِ الْمَسِيحِ، أَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ بَعْضَ تَلامِيذِهِ،

BSB

3 to ask Him, “Are You the One who was to come, or should we look for someone else?”

NAV

3 يَسْأَلُهُ: «أَأَنْتَ هُوَ الآتِي، أَمْ نَنْتَظِرُ غَيْرَكَ؟»

BSB

4 Jesus replied, “Go back and report to John what you hear and see:

NAV

4 فَأَجَابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ قَائِلاً: «اذْهَبُوا أَخْبِرُوا يُوحَنَّا بِمَا تَسْمَعُونَ وَتَرَوْنَ:

BSB

5 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.

NAV

5 الْعُمْيُ يُبْصِرُونَ، وَالْعُرْجُ يَمْشُونَ، وَالْبُرْصُ يُطَهَّرُونَ، وَالصُّمُّ يَسْمَعُونَ، وَالْمَوْتَى يُقَامُونَ، وَالْمَسَاكِينُ يُبَشَّرُونَ.

BSB

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

NAV

6 وَطُوبَى لِمَنْ لَا يَشُكُّ فِيَّ!»

BSB

7 As John’s disciples were leaving, 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?

NAV

7 وَمَا إِنِ انْصَرَفَ تَلامِيذُ يُوحَنَّا، حَتَّى أَخَذَ يَسُوعُ يَتَحَدَّثُ إِلَى الْجُمُوعِ عَنْ يُوحَنَّا: «مَاذَا خَرَجْتُمْ إِلَى الْبَرِّيَّةِ لِتَرَوْا؟ أَقَصَبَةً تَهُزُّهَا الرِّيَاحُ؟

BSB

8 Otherwise, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? Look, those who wear fine clothing are found in kings’ palaces.

NAV

8 بَلْ مَاذَا خَرَجْتُمْ لِتَرَوْا: أَإِنْسَاناً يَلْبَسُ ثِيَاباً نَاعِمَةً؟ هَا إِنَّ لابِسِي الثِّيَابِ النَّاعِمَةِ هُمْ فِي قُصُورِ الْمُلُوكِ!

BSB

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

NAV

9 إِذَنْ، مَاذَا خَرَجْتُمْ لِتَرَوْا؟ أَنَبِيًّا؟ نَعَمْ، أَقُولُ لَكُمْ، وَأَعْظَمَ مِنْ نَبِيٍّ.

BSB

10 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.’

NAV

10 فَهَذَا هُوَ الَّذِي كُتِبَ عَنْهُ: هَا إِنِّي مُرْسِلٌ قُدَّامَكَ رَسُولِي الَّذِي يُمَهِّدُ لَكَ طَرِيقَكَ!

BSB

11 Truly I tell you, among those born of women there has risen no one greater than John the Baptist. Yet even the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

NAV

11 الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَظْهَرْ بَيْنَ مَنْ وَلَدَتْهُمْ النِّسَاءُ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ يُوحَنَّا الْمَعْمَدَانِ. وَلَكِنَّ الأَصْغَرَ فِي مَلَكُوتِ السَّمَاوَاتِ أَعْظَمُ مِنْهُ!

BSB

12 From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been subject to violence, and the violent lay claim to it.

NAV

12 فَمُنْذُ أَنْ بَدَأَ يُوحَنَّا الْمَعْمَدَانُ خِدْمَتَهُ وَالنَّاسُ يَسْعَوْنَ جَاهِدِينِ لِدُخُولِ مَلَكُوتِ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالسَّاعُونَ يَدْخُلُونَهُ بِمَشَقَّةٍ!

BSB

13 For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John.

NAV

13 فَإِنَّ الشَّرِيعَةَ وَالأَنْبِيَاءَ تَنَبَّأُوا جَمِيعاً حَتَّى ظُهُورِ يُوحَنَّا.

BSB

14 And if you are willing to accept it, he is the Elijah who was to come.

NAV

14 وَإِنْ شِئْتُمْ أَنْ تُصَدِّقُوا، فَإِنَّ يُوحَنَّا هَذَا، هُوَ إِيلِيَّا الَّذِي كَانَ رُجُوعُهُ مُنْتَظَراً.

BSB

15 He who has ears, let him hear.

NAV

15 وَمَنْ لَهُ أُذُنَانِ، فَلْيَسْمَعْ!

BSB

16 To what can I compare this generation? They are like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling out to others:

NAV

16 وَلَكِنْ، بِمَنْ أُشَبِّهُ هَذَا الْجِيلَ؟ إِنَّهُمْ يُشْبِهُونَ أَوْلاداً جَالِسِينَ فِي السَّاحَاتِ الْعَامَّةِ، يُنَادُونَ أَصْحَابَهُمْ قَائِلِينَ:

BSB

17 ‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.’

NAV

17 زَمَّرْنَا لَكُمْ، فَلَمْ تَرْقُصُوا! وَنَدَبْنَا لَكُمْ، فَلَمْ تَبْكُوا!

BSB

18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon!’

NAV

18 فَقَدْ جَاءَ يُوحَنَّا لَا يَأْكُلُ وَلا يَشْرَبُ، فَقَالُوا: إِنَّ شَيْطَاناً يَسْكُنُهُ!

BSB

19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look at this glutton and drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ But wisdom is vindicated by her actions.”

NAV

19 ثُمَّ جَاءَ ابْنُ الإِنْسَانِ يَأْكُلُ وَيَشْرَبُ، فَقَالُوا: هَذَا رَجُلٌ شَرِهٌ وَسِكِّيرٌ، صَدِيقٌ لِجُبَاةِ الضَّرَائِبِ وَالْخَاطِئِينَ. وَلَكِنْ تُخْتَبَرُ الْحِكْمَةُ بِأَعْمَالِها».

BSB

20 Then Jesus began to denounce the cities in which most of His miracles had been performed, because they did not repent.

NAV

20 ثُمَّ بَدَأَ يَسُوعُ يُوَبِّخُ الْمُدُنَ الَّتِي جَرَتْ فِيهَا أَكْثَرُ مُعْجِزَاتِهِ، لِكَوْنِ أَهْلِهَا لَمْ يَتُوبُوا.

BSB

21 “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.

NAV

21 فَقَالَ: «الْوَيْلُ لَكِ يَا كُورَزِينُ! الْوَيْلُ لَكِ يَا بَيْتَ صَيْدَا! فَلَوْ أُجْرِيَ فِي صُورَ وَصَيْدَا مَا أُجْرِيَ فِيكُمَا مِنَ الْمُعْجِزَاتِ، لَتَابَ أَهْلُهُمَا مُنْذُ الْقَدِيمِ لابِسِينَ الْمُسُوحَ فِي وَسَطِ الرَّمَادِ.

BSB

22 But I tell you, it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.

NAV

22 وَلَكِنِّي أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ حَالَةَ صُورَ وَصَيْدَا فِي الدَّيْنُونَةِ، سَتَكُونُ أَكْثَرَ احْتِمَالاً مِنْ حَالَتِكُمَا!

BSB

23 And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted up to heaven? No, you will be brought down to Hades! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Sodom, it would have remained to this day.

NAV

23 وَأَنْتِ يَا كَفْرَنَاحُومَ: هَلِ ارْتَفَعْتِ حَتَّى السَّمَاءِ؟ إِنَّكِ إِلَى قَعْرِ الْهَاوِيَةِ سَتُهْبَطِينَ. فَلَوْ جَرَى فِي سَدُومَ مَا جَرَى فِيكِ مِنَ الْمُعْجِزَاتِ، لَبَقِيَتْ حَتَّى الْيَوْمِ.

BSB

24 But I tell you that it will be more bearable for Sodom on the day of judgment than for you.”

NAV

24 وَلَكِنِّي أَقُولُ لَكُمْ إِنَّ مَصِيرَ سَدُومَ فِي يَوْمِ الدَّيْنُونَةِ، سَيَكُونُ أَكْثَرَ احْتِمَالاً مِنْ حَالَتِكِ!»

BSB

25 At that time Jesus declared, “I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because You have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children.

NAV

25 وَفِي ذَلِكَ الْوَقْتِ، تَكَلَّمَ يَسُوعُ فَقَالَ: «أَحْمَدُكَ أَيُّهَا الآبُ، رَبَّ السَّمَاءِ وَالأَرْضِ، لأَنَّكَ حَجَبْتَ هَذِهِ الأُمُورَ عَنِ الْحُكَمَاءِ وَالْفُهَمَاءِ، وَكَشَفْتَهَا لِلأَطْفَالِ!

BSB

26 Yes, Father, for this was well-pleasing in Your sight.

NAV

26 نَعَمْ أَيُّهَا الآبُ، لأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا حَسُنَ فِي نَظَرِكَ.

BSB

27 All things have been entrusted to Me by My Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him.

NAV

27 كُلُّ شَيْءٍ قَدْ سَلَّمَهُ إِلَيَّ أَبِي. وَلا أَحَدٌ يَعْرِفُ الاِبْنَ إِلّا الآبُ، وَلا أَحَدٌ يَعْرِفُ الآبَ إِلّا الاِبْنُ، وَمَنْ أَرَادَ الاِبْنُ أَنْ يُعْلِنَهُ لَهُ.

BSB

28 Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

NAV

28 تَعَالَوْا إِلَيَّ يَا جَمِيعَ الْمُتْعَبِينَ وَالثَّقِيلِي الأَحْمَالِ، وَأَنَا أُرِيحُكُمْ.

BSB

29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

NAV

29 اِحْمِلُوا نِيرِي عَلَيْكُمْ، وَتعَلَّمُوا مِنِّي، لأَنِّي وَدِيعٌ وَمُتَوَاضِعُ الْقَلْبِ، فَتَجِدُوا الرَّاحَةَ لِنُفُوسِكُمْ.

BSB

30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

NAV

30 فَإِنَّ نِيرِي هَيِّنٌ، وَحِمْلِي خَفِيفٌ!»
