¹وقال لهم ايضا مثلا في انه ينبغي ان يصلّى كل حين ولا يمل

¹And he spake a parable unto them to the end that they ought always to pray, and not to faint;

²قائلا. كان في مدينة قاض لا يخاف الله ولا يهاب انسانا.

²saying, There was in a city a judge, who feared not God, and regarded not man:

³وكان في تلك المدينة ارملة. وكانت تأتي اليه قائلة انصفني من خصمي.

³and there was a widow in that city; and she came oft unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.

⁴وكان لا يشاء الى زمان. ولكن بعد ذلك قال في نفسه وان كنت لا اخاف الله ولا اهاب انسانا

⁴And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;

⁵فاني لاجل ان هذه الارملة تزعجني انصفها لئلا تأتي دائما فتقمعني.

⁵yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest she wear me out by her continual coming.

⁶وقال الرب اسمعوا ما يقول قاضي الظلم.

⁶And the Lord said, Hear what the unrighteous judge saith.

⁷أفلا ينصف الله مختاريه الصارخين اليه نهارا وليلا وهو متمهل عليهم.

⁷And shall not God avenge his elect, that cry to him day and night, and [yet] he is longsuffering over them?

⁸اقول لكم انه ينصفهم سريعا. ولكن متى جاء ابن الانسان ألعله يجد الايمان على الارض

⁸I say unto you, that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?

⁹وقال لقوم واثقين بانفسهم انهم ابرار ويحتقرون الآخرين هذا المثل.

⁹And he spake also this parable unto certain who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and set all others at nought:

¹⁰انسانان صعدا الى الهيكل ليصلّيا واحد فريسي والآخر عشار.

¹⁰Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.

¹¹اما الفريسي فوقف يصلّي في نفسه هكذا. اللهم انا اشكرك اني لست مثل باقي الناس الخاطفين الظالمين الزناة ولا مثل هذا العشار.

¹¹The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as the rest of men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.

¹²اصوم مرتين في الاسبوع واعشر كل ما اقتنيه.

¹²I fast twice in the week; I give tithes of all that I get.

¹³واما العشار فوقف من بعيد لا يشاء ان يرفع عينيه نحو السماء. بل قرع على صدره قائلا اللهم ارحمني انا الخاطئ.

¹³But the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote his breast, saying, God, be thou merciful to me a sinner.

¹⁴اقول لكم ان هذا نزل الى بيته مبررا دون ذاك. لان كل من يرفع نفسه يتضع ومن يضع نفسه يرتفع

¹⁴I say unto you, This man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be humbled; but he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

¹⁵فقدّموا اليه الاطفال ايضا ليلمسهم فلما رآهم التلاميذ انتهروهم.

¹⁵And they were bringing unto him also their babes, that he should touch them: but when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.

¹⁶اما يسوع فدعاهم وقال دعوا الاولاد يأتون اليّ ولا تمنعوهم لان لمثل هؤلاء ملكوت الله.

¹⁶But Jesus called them unto him, saying, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for to such belongeth the kingdom of God.

¹⁷الحق اقول لكم من لا يقبل ملكوت الله مثل ولد فلن يدخله

¹⁷Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall in no wise enter therein.

¹⁸وسأله رئيس قائلا ايها المعلّم الصالح ماذا اعمل لأرث الحياة الابدية.

¹⁸And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

¹⁹فقال له يسوع لماذا تدعوني صالحا. ليس احد صالحا الا واحد وهو الله.

¹⁹And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, [even] God.

²⁰انت تعرف الوصايا. لا تزن. لا تقتل. لا تسرق. لا تشهد بالزور. اكرم اباك وامك.

²⁰Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor thy father and mother.

²¹فقال هذه كلها حفظتها منذ حداثتي.

²¹And he said, All these things have I observed from my youth up.

²²فلما سمع يسوع ذلك قال له يعوزك ايضا شيء. بع كل مالك ووزع على الفقراء فيكون لك كنز في السماء وتعال اتبعني.

²²And when Jesus heard it, he said unto him, One thing thou lackest yet: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.

²³فلما سمع ذلك حزن لانه كان غنيا جدا.

²³But when he heard these things, he became exceeding sorrowful; for he was very rich.

²⁴فلما رآه يسوع قد حزن قال ما اعسر دخول ذوي الاموال الى ملكوت الله.

²⁴And Jesus seeing him said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!

²⁵لان دخول جمل من ثقب ابرة ايسر من ان يدخل غني الى ملكوت الله.

²⁵For it is easier for a camel to enter in through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

²⁶فقال الذين سمعوا فمن يستطيع ان يخلص.

²⁶And they that heard it said, Then who can be saved?

²⁷فقال غير المستطاع عند الناس مستطاع عند الله

²⁷But he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.

²⁸فقال بطرس ها نحن قد تركنا كل شيء وتبعناك.

²⁸And Peter said, Lo, we have left our own, and followed thee.

²⁹فقال لهم الحق اقول لكم ان ليس احدا ترك بيتا او والدين او اخوة او امرأة او اولادا من اجل ملكوت الله.

²⁹And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or wife, or brethren, or parents, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake,

³⁰الا ويأخذ في هذا الزمان اضعافا كثيرة وفي الدهر الآتي الحياة الابدية

³⁰who shall not receive manifold more in this time, and in the world to come eternal life.

³¹واخذ الاثني عشر وقال لهم ها نحن صاعدون الى اورشليم وسيتم كل ما هو مكتوب بالانبياء عن ابن الانسان.

³¹And he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through the prophets shall be accomplished unto the Son of man.

³²لانه يسلم الى الامم ويستهزأ به ويشتم ويتفل عليه

³²For he shall be delivered up unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and shamefully treated, and spit upon:

³³ويجلدونه ويقتلونه وفي اليوم الثالث يقوم.

³³and they shall scourge and kill him: and the third day he shall rise again.

³⁴واما هم فلم يفهموا من ذلك شيئا وكان هذا الأمر مخفى عنهم ولم يعلموا ما قيل

³⁴And they understood none of these things; and this saying was hid from them, and they perceived not the things that were said.

³⁵ولما اقترب من اريحا كان اعمى جالسا على الطريق يستعطي.

³⁵And it came to pass, as he drew nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging:

³⁶فلما سمع الجمع مجتازا سأل ما عسى ان يكون هذا.

³⁶and hearing a multitude going by, he inquired what this meant.

³⁷فاخبروه ان يسوع الناصري مجتاز.

³⁷And they told him that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.

³⁸فصرخ قائلا يا يسوع ابن داود ارحمني.

³⁸And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me.

³⁹فانتهره المتقدمون ليسكت. اما هو فصرخ اكثر كثيرا يا ابن داود ارحمني.

³⁹And they that went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried out the more a great deal, Thou son of David, have mercy on me.

⁴⁰فوقف يسوع وامر ان يقدم اليه. ولما اقترب سأله

⁴⁰And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him,

⁴¹قائلا ماذا تريد ان افعل بك. فقال يا سيد ان ابصر.

⁴¹What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.

⁴²فقال له يسوع ابصر. ايمانك قد شفاك.

⁴²And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight; thy faith hath made thee whole.

⁴³وفي الحال ابصر وتبعه وهو يمجد الله. وجميع الشعب اذ رأوا سبحوا الله

⁴³And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.
