لوقا 18

الكتاب المقدس

1 وَضَرَبَ لَهُمْ مَثَلاً فِي وُجُوبِ الصَّلاةِ دَائِماً وَدُونَ مَلَلٍ،2 قَالَ: «كَانَ فِي مَدِينَةٍ قَاضٍ لَا يَخَافُ اللهَ وَلا يَحْتَرِمُ إِنْسَاناً.3 وَكَانَ فِي تِلْكَ الْمَدِينَةِ أَرْمَلَةٌ كَانَتْ تَأْتِي إِلَيْهِ قَائِلَةً: أَنْصِفْنِي مِنْ خَصْمِي!4 فَظَلَّ يَرْفُضُ طَلَبَهَا مُدَّةً مِنَ الزَّمَنِ. وَلكِنَّهُ بَعْدَ ذلِكَ قَالَ فِي نَفْسِهِ: حَتَّى لَوْ كُنْتُ لَا أَخَافُ اللهَ وَلا أَحْتَرِمُ إِنْسَاناً،5 فَمَهْمَا يَكُنْ، فَلأَنَّ هذِهِ الأَرْمَلَةَ تُزْعِجُنِي سَأُنْصِفُهَا، لِئَلّا تَأْتِيَ دَائِماً فَتُصَدِّعَ رَأْسِي!»6 وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ: «اسْمَعُوا مَا يَقُولُهُ الْقَاضِي الظَّالِمُ.7 أَفَلا يُنْصِفُ اللهُ مُخْتَارِيهِ الَّذِينَ يَصْرُخُونَ إِلَيْهِ نَهَاراً وَلَيْلاً؟ أَمَا يُسْرِعُ فِي الاسْتِجَابَةِ لَهُمْ؟8 أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّهُ يُنْصِفُهُمْ سَرِيعاً. وَلكِنْ، عِنْدَمَا يَعُودُ ابْنُ الإِنْسَانِ، أَيَجِدُ إِيمَاناً عَلَى الأَرْضِ؟»9 وَضَرَبَ أَيْضاً هَذَا الْمَثَلَ لأُنَاسٍ يَثِقُونَ فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ بِأَنَّهُمْ أَبْرَارٌ وَيَحْتَقِرُونَ الآخَرِينَ:10 «صَعِدَ إِنْسَانَانِ إِلَى الْهَيْكَلِ لِيُصَلِّيَا، أَحَدُهُمَا فَرِّيسِيٌّ وَالآخَرُ جَابِي ضَرَائِبَ.11 فَوَقَفَ الْفَرِّيسِيُّ يُصَلِّي فِي نَفْسِهِ هكَذَا: أَشْكُرُكَ، يَا اللهُ، لأَنِّي لَسْتُ مِثْلَ بَاقِي النَّاسِ الطَّمَّاعِينَ الظَّالِمِينَ الزُّنَاةِ، وَلا مِثْلَ جَابِي الضَّرَائِبِ هَذَا:12 أَصُومُ مَرَّتَيْنِ فِي الأُسْبُوعِ، وَأُقَدِّمُ عُشْرَ كُلِّ مَا أَجْنِيهِ!13 وَلكِنَّ جَابِيَ الضَّرَائِبِ، وَقَفَ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ وَهُوَ لَا يَجْرُؤُ أَنْ يَرْفَعَ عَيْنَيْهِ نَحْوَ السَّمَاءِ، بَلْ قَرَعَ صَدْرَهُ قَائِلاً: ارْحَمْنِي، يَا اللهُ، أَنَا الْخَاطِئُ!14 أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ هَذَا الإِنْسَانَ نَزَلَ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ مُبَرَّراً، بِعَكْسِ الآخَرِ. فَإِنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ يُرَفِّعُ نَفْسَهُ يُوضَعُ؛ وَمَنْ يَضَعُ نَفْسَهُ يُرَفَّعُ».15 وَأَحْضَرَ بَعْضُهُمْ أَطْفَالاً أَيْضاً لِيَلْمِسَهُمْ. وَلكِنَّ التَّلامِيذَ لَمَّا رَأَوْهُمْ زَجَرُوهُمْ.16 أَمَّا يَسُوعُ فَدَعَاهُمْ إِلَيْهِ وَقَالَ: «دَعُوا الصِّغَارَ يَأْتُونَ إِلَيَّ، وَلا تَمْنَعُوهُمْ: لأَنَّ لِمِثْلِ هؤُلاءِ مَلَكُوتَ اللهِ!17 الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: مَنْ لَا يَقْبَلُ مَلَكُوتَ اللهِ كَأَنَّهُ وَلَدٌ صَغِيرٌ، فَلَنْ يَدْخُلَهُ أَبَداً!»18 وَسَأَلَهُ وَاحِدٌ مِنَ الرُّؤَسَاءِ قَائِلاً: «أَيُّهَا الْمُعَلِّمُ الصَّالِحُ، مَاذَا أَعْمَلُ لأَرِثَ الْحَيَاةَ الأَبَدِيَّةَ؟»19 وَلَكِنَّ يَسُوعَ قَالَ لَهُ: «لِمَاذَا تَدْعُونِي الصَّالِحَ؟ لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ صَالِحاً إِلّا وَاحِدٌ، وَهُوَ اللهُ!20 أَنْتَ تَعْرِفُ الْوَصَايَا: لَا تَزْنِ؛ لَا تَقْتُلْ؛ لَا تَسْرِقْ؛ لَا تَشْهَدْ بِالزُّورِ؛ أَكْرِمْ أَبَاكَ وَأُمَّكَ!»21 فَقَالَ: «هَذِهِ كُلُّهَا عَمِلْتُ بِها مُنْذُ صِغَرِي!»22 فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ يَسُوعُ هَذَا، قَالَ لَهُ: «يَنْقُصُكَ شَيْءٌ وَاحِدٌ: بِعْ كُلَّ مَا عِنْدَكَ، وَوَزِّعْ عَلَى الْفُقَرَاءِ، فَيَكُونَ لَكَ كَنْزٌ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ. ثُمَّ تَعَالَ اتْبَعْنِي!»23 وَلكِنَّهُ لَمَّا سَمِعَ ذلِكَ، حَزِنَ حُزْناً شَدِيداً، لأَنَّهُ كَانَ غَنِيًّا جِدّاً.24 فَلَمَّا رَأَى يَسُوعُ ذَلِكَ مِنْهُ، قَالَ: «مَا أَصْعَبَ دُخُولَ الأَغْنِيَاءِ إِلَى مَلَكُوتِ اللهِ!25 فَإِنَّ مُرُورَ جَمَلٍ فِي ثَقْبِ إِبْرَةٍ أَسْهَلُ مِنْ دُخُولِ غَنِيٍّ إِلَى مَلَكُوتِ اللهِ».26 فَقَالَ الَّذِينَ سَمِعُوا ذَلِكَ: «إِذَنْ، مَنْ يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يَخْلُصَ؟»27 فَقَالَ: «إِنَّ الْمُسْتَحِيلَ عِنْدَ النَّاسِ مُسْتَطَاعٌ عِنْدَ اللهِ!»28 فَقَالَ بُطْرُسُ: «هَا نَحْنُ قَدْ تَرَكْنَا كُلَّ شَيْءٍ وَتَبِعْنَاكَ!»29 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «الحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: مَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ تَرَكَ بَيْتاً، أَوْ زَوْجَةً، أَوْ إِخْوَةً أَوْ وَالِدَيْنِ، أَوْ أَوْلاداً، مِنْ أَجْلِ مَلَكُوتِ اللهِ،30 إِلّا وَيَنَالُ أَضْعَافَ ذَلِكَ فِي هَذَا الزَّمَانِ، وَيَنَالُ فِي الزَّمَانِ الآتِي الْحَيَاةَ الأَبَدِيَّةَ!»31 ثُمَّ انْتَحَى بِالاثْنَيْ عَشَرَ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «هَا نَحْنُ صَاعِدُونَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَسَوْفَ تَتِمُّ جَمِيعُ الأُمُورِ الَّتِي كَتَبَهَا الأَنْبِيَاءُ عَنِ ابْنِ الإِنْسَانِ.32 فَإِنَّهُ سَيُسَلَّمُ إِلَى أَيْدِي الأُمَمِ، فَيُسْتَهْزَأُ بِهِ وَيُهَانُ وَيُبْصَقُ عَلَيْهِ.33 وَبَعْدَ أَنْ يَجْلِدُوهُ يَقْتُلُونَهُ. وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ يَقُومُ!»34 وَلكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَفْهَمُوا شَيْئاً مِنْ ذلِكَ. وَكَانَ هَذَا الأَمْرُ خَافِياً عَنْهُمْ، وَلَمْ يُدْرِكُوا مَا قِيلَ.35 وَلَمَّا وَصَلَ إِلَى جُوَارِ أَرِيحَا، كَانَ أَحَدُ الْعُمْيَانِ جَالِساً عَلَى جَانِبِ الطَّرِيقِ يَسْتَعْطِي.36 فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ مُرُورَ الْجَمْعِ، اسْتَخْبَرَ عَمَّا عَسَى أَنْ يَكُونَ ذَلِكَ.37 فَقِيلَ لَهُ: «إِنَّ يَسُوعَ النَّاصِرِيَّ مَارٌّ مِنْ هُنَاكَ».38 فَنَادَى قَائِلاً «يَا يَسُوعُ ابْنَ دَاوُدَ، ارْحَمْنِي!»39 فَزَجَرَهُ السَّائِرُونَ فِي الْمُقَدِّمَةِ لِيَسْكُتَ. وَلكِنَّهُ أَخَذَ يَزِيدُ صُرَاخاً أَكْثَرَ: «يَا ابْنَ دَاوُدَ، ارْحَمْنِي!»40 فَتَوَقَّفَ يَسُوعَ وَأَمَرَ أَنْ يُؤْتَى بِهِ إِلَيْهِ. فَلَمَّا اقْتَرَبَ سَأَلَهُ:41 «مَاذَا تُرِيدُ أَنْ أَفْعَلَ لَكَ؟» فَقَالَ: «يَا رَبُّ، أَنْ تَرُدَّ لِي الْبَصَرَ!»42 فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «أَبْصِرْ! إِيمَانُكَ قَدْ شَفَاكَ».43 وَفِي الْحَالِ أَبْصَرَ، وَتَبِعَهُ وَهُوَ يُمَجِّدُ اللهَ. وَلَمَّا رَأَى جَميعُ الشَّعْبِ ذَلِكَ، سَبَّحُوا اللهَ.

English Standard Version

1 And he told them a parable to the effect that they ought always to pray and not lose heart. (لو 11:5; لو 21:36; رو 12:12; 2كو 4:1; 2كو 4:16; أف 6:18; كو 4:2; 1تس 5:17; 2تس 3:13)2 He said, “In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected man. (2كو 8:21)3 And there was a widow in that city who kept coming to him and saying, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’4 For a while he refused, but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect man, (لو 11:8)5 yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will give her justice, so that she will not beat me down by her continual coming.’”6 And the Lord said, “Hear what the unrighteous judge says.7 And will not God give justice to his elect, who cry to him day and night? Will he delay long over them? (مز 88:1; إش 63:4; مر 13:20; رو 8:33; كو 3:12; تي 1:1; يع 5:7; 2بط 3:9; رؤ 6:10)8 I tell you, he will give justice to them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?” (مت 24:12; لو 17:26; عب 10:37)9 He also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and treated others with contempt: (أم 30:12; إش 65:5; مت 5:20; لو 16:15; يو 7:48; 2كو 1:9)10 “Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. (2مل 20:5; 2مل 20:8; لو 18:14; أع 3:1)11 The Pharisee, standing by himself, prayed[1] thus: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. (مت 6:5; مر 11:25; رؤ 3:17)12 I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I get.’ (مت 9:14; لو 11:42)13 But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’ (عز 9:6; مز 79:9; حز 16:63; دا 9:19; لو 18:11; لو 23:48)14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.” (لو 14:11)15 Now they were bringing even infants to him that he might touch them. And when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them. (مت 19:13; مر 10:13; لو 18:39)16 But Jesus called them to him, saying, “Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. (مت 18:3; مر 9:39)17 Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.” (لو 8:13; يو 3:3; يو 3:5; يع 1:21)18 And a ruler asked him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” (مت 19:16; مت 25:34; مر 10:17; لو 10:25)19 And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone.20 You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery, Do not murder, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor your father and mother.’” (خر 20:12; تث 5:16; مت 5:21; مت 5:27; رو 13:9)21 And he said, “All these I have kept from my youth.” (في 3:6)22 When Jesus heard this, he said to him, “One thing you still lack. Sell all that you have and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.” (مت 6:19; لو 12:33; لو 16:9; لو 19:8; أع 2:45; أع 4:34; 1تي 6:18)23 But when he heard these things, he became very sad, for he was extremely rich. (حز 33:31)24 Jesus, seeing that he had become sad, said, “How difficult it is for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God! (مت 12:28; مت 13:22; 1كو 1:26)25 For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.” (لو 18:24)26 Those who heard it said, “Then who can be saved?”27 But he said, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.” (تك 18:14; أي 42:2; إر 32:17; إر 32:27; لو 1:37)28 And Peter said, “See, we have left our homes and followed you.” (مت 4:20; مت 4:22; مر 1:18; مر 1:20)29 And he said to them, “Truly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or wife or brothers[2] or parents or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God, (لو 14:26)30 who will not receive many times more in this time, and in the age to come eternal life.” (أي 42:10; مت 6:33; مت 12:32; لو 20:35; أف 1:21)31 And taking the twelve, he said to them, “See, we are going up to Jerusalem, and everything that is written about the Son of Man by the prophets will be accomplished. (مت 1:22; مت 20:17; مت 26:24; مر 10:32; لو 9:51)32 For he will be delivered over to the Gentiles and will be mocked and shamefully treated and spit upon. (مت 26:67; مت 27:2; مت 27:26; مر 14:65; مر 15:19; يو 18:30; أع 2:23; أع 3:13; أع 4:27; أع 21:11)33 And after flogging him, they will kill him, and on the third day he will rise.” (لو 9:22)34 But they understood none of these things. This saying was hidden from them, and they did not grasp what was said. (مر 9:32; لو 9:45; لو 24:16)35 As he drew near to Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the roadside begging. (مت 20:29; مر 10:46; يو 9:1; يو 9:8)36 And hearing a crowd going by, he inquired what this meant.37 They told him, “Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.” (مت 2:23)38 And he cried out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” (مت 1:1; مت 9:27)39 And those who were in front rebuked him, telling him to be silent. But he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” (لو 18:15)40 And Jesus stopped and commanded him to be brought to him. And when he came near, he asked him,41 “What do you want me to do for you?” He said, “Lord, let me recover my sight.” (مر 10:36)42 And Jesus said to him, “Recover your sight; your faith has made you well.” (مت 9:22; مر 5:34; لو 7:3; لو 7:50; لو 8:36; لو 8:48; لو 8:50; لو 17:19)43 And immediately he recovered his sight and followed him, glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God. (لو 7:16; لو 13:13; لو 19:37)
