¹وابتدأ يقول لهم بامثال انسان غرس كرما واحاطه بسياج وحفر حوض معصرة وبنى برجا وسلمه الى كرامين وسافر.

¹And he began to speak unto them in parables. A man planted a vineyard, and set a hedge about it, and digged a pit for the winepress, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into another country.

²ثم ارسل الى الكرامين في الوقت عبدا ليأخذ من الكرامين من ثمر الكرم.

²And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruits of the vineyard.

³فاخذوه وجلدوه وارسلوه فارغا.

³And they took him, and beat him, and sent him away empty.

⁴ثم ارسل اليهم ايضا عبدا آخر. فرجموه وشجوه وارسلوه مهانا.

⁴And again he sent unto them another servant; and him they wounded in the head, and handled shamefully.

⁵ثم ارسل ايضا آخر. فقتلوه. ثم آخرين كثيرين فجلدوا منهم بعضا وقتلوا بعضا.

⁵And he sent another; and him they killed: and many others; beating some, and killing some.

⁶فاذ كان له ايضا ابن واحد حبيب اليه ارسله ايضا اليهم اخيرا قائلا انهم يهابون ابني.

⁶He had yet one, a beloved son: he sent him last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son.

⁷ولكن اولئك الكرامين قالوا فيما بينهم هذا هو الوارث. هلموا نقتله فيكون لنا الميراث.

⁷But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours.

⁸فأخذوه وقتلوه واخرجوه خارج الكرم.

⁸And they took him, and killed him, and cast him forth out of the vineyard.

⁹فماذا يفعل صاحب الكرم. يأتي ويهلك الكرامين ويعطي الكرم الى آخرين.

⁹What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others.

¹⁰أما قرأتم هذا المكتوب. الحجر الذي رفضه البناؤون هو قد صار راس الزاوية.

¹⁰Have ye not read even this scripture: The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made the head of the corner;

¹¹من قبل الرب كان هذا وهو عجيب في اعيننا.

¹¹This was from the Lord, And it is marvellous in our eyes?

¹²فطلبوا ان يمسكوه ولكنهم خافوا من الجمع. لانهم عرفوا انه قال المثل عليهم. فتركوه ومضوا

¹²And they sought to lay hold on him; and they feared the multitude; for they perceived that he spake the parable against them: and they left him, and went away.

¹³ثم ارسلوا اليه قوما من الفريسيين والهيرودسيين لكي يصطادوه بكلمة.

¹³And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, that they might catch him in talk.

¹⁴فلما جاءوا قالوا له يا معلّم نعلم انك صادق ولا تبالي باحد لانك لا تنظر الى وجوه الناس بل بالحق تعلّم طريق الله. أيجوز ان تعطى جزية لقيصر ام لا. نعطي ام لا نعطي.

¹⁴And when they were come, they say unto him, Teacher, we know that thou art true, and carest not for any one; for thou regardest not the person of men, but of a truth teachest the way of God: Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?

¹⁵فعلم رياءهم وقال لهم لماذا تجربونني. ايتوني بدينار لانظره.

¹⁵Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why make ye trial of me? bring me a denarius, that I may see it.

¹⁶فأتوا به. فقال لهم لمن هذه الصورة والكتابة. فقالوا له لقيصر.

¹⁶And they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Caesar's.

¹⁷فاجاب يسوع وقال لهم اعطوا ما لقيصر لقيصر وما للّه للّه. فتعجبوا منه

¹⁷And Jesus said unto them, Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's. And they marvelled greatly at him.

¹⁸وجاء اليه قوم من الصدوقيين الذين يقولون ليس قيامة وسألوه قائلين

¹⁸And there come unto him Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying,

¹⁹يا معلّم كتب لنا موسى ان مات لاحد اخ وترك امرأة ولم يخلّف اولادا ان ياخذ اخوه امرأته ويقيم نسلا لاخيه.

¹⁹Teacher, Moses wrote unto us, If a man's brother die, and leave a wife behind him, and leave no child, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

²⁰فكان سبعة اخوة. اخذ الاول امرأة ومات ولم يترك نسلا.

²⁰There were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed;

²¹فاخذها الثاني ومات ولم يترك هو ايضا نسلا. وهكذا الثالث.

²¹and the second took her, and died, leaving no seed behind him; and the third likewise:

²²فاخذها السبعة ولم يتركوا نسلا. وآخر الكل ماتت المرأة ايضا.

²²and the seven left no seed. Last of all the woman also died.

²³ففي القيامة متى قاموا لمن منهم تكون زوجة. لانها كانت زوجة للسبعة.

²³In the resurrection whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.

²⁴فاجاب يسوع وقال لهم أليس لهذا تضلون اذ لا تعرفون الكتب ولا قوة الله.

²⁴Jesus said unto them, Is it not for this cause that ye err, that ye know not the scriptures, nor the power of God?

²⁵لانهم متى قاموا من الاموات لا يزوجون ولا يزوجون بل يكونون كملائكة في السموات.

²⁵For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as angels in heaven.

²⁶واما من جهة الاموات انهم يقومون أفما قرأتم في كتاب موسى في أمر العلّيقة كيف كلمه الله قائلا انا اله ابراهيم واله اسحق واله يعقوب.

²⁶But as touching the dead, that they are raised; have ye not read in the book of Moses, in [the place concerning] the Bush, how God spake unto him, saying, I [am] the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?

²⁷ليس هو اله اموات بل اله احياء. فانتم اذا تضلون كثيرا

²⁷He is not the God of the dead, but of the living: ye do greatly err.

²⁸فجاء واحد من الكتبة وسمعهم يتحاورون فلما رأى انه اجابهم حسنا سأله اية وصية هي اول الكل.

²⁸And one of the scribes came, and heard them questioning together, and knowing that he had answered them well, asked him, What commandment is the first of all?

²⁹فاجابه يسوع ان اول كل الوصايا هي اسمع يا اسرائيل. الرب الهنا رب واحد.

²⁹Jesus answered, The first is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God, the Lord is one:

³⁰وتحب الرب الهك من كل قلبك ومن كل نفسك ومن كل فكرك ومن كل قدرتك. هذه هي الوصية الاولى.

³⁰and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength.

³¹وثانية مثلها هي تحب قريبك كنفسك. ليس وصية اخرى اعظم من هاتين.

³¹The second is this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

³²فقال له الكاتب جيدا يا معلّم. بالحق قلت لانه الله واحد وليس آخر سواه.

³²And the scribe said unto him, Of a truth, Teacher, thou hast well said that he is one; and there is none other but he:

³³ومحبته من كل القلب ومن كل الفهم ومن كل النفس ومن كل القدرة ومحبة القريب كالنفس هي افضل من جميع المحرقات والذبائح.

³³and to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbor as himself, is much more than all whole burnt-offerings and sacrifices.

³⁴فلما رآه يسوع انه اجاب بعقل قال له لست بعيدا عن ملكوت الله. ولم يجسر احد بعد ذلك ان يسأله

³⁴And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.

³⁵ثم اجاب يسوع وقال وهو يعلّم في الهيكل كيف يقول الكتبة ان المسيح ابن داود.

³⁵And Jesus answered and said, as he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that the Christ is the son of David?

³⁶لان داود نفسه قال بالروح القدس قال الرب لربي اجلس عن يميني حتى اضع اعداءك موطئا لقدميك.

³⁶David himself said in the Holy Spirit, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, Till I make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet.

³⁷فداود نفسه يدعوه ربا. فمن اين هو ابنه. وكان الجمع الكثير يسمعه بسرور

³⁷David himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he his son? And the common people heard him gladly.

³⁸وقال لهم في تعليمه تحرزوا من الكتبة الذين يرغبون المشي بالطيالسة والتحيات في الاسواق.

³⁸And in his teaching he said, Beware of the scribes, who desire to walk in long robes, and [to have] salutations in the marketplaces,

³⁹والمجالس الاولى في المجامع والمتكآت الأولى في الولائم.

³⁹and chief seats in the synagogues, and chief places at feasts:

⁴⁰الذين ياكلون بيوت الارامل ولعلة يطيلون الصلوات. هؤلاء يأخذون دينونة اعظم

⁴⁰they that devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayers; these shall receive greater condemnation.

⁴¹وجلس يسوع تجاه الخزانة ونظر كيف يلقي الجمع نحاسا في الخزانة. كان اغنياء كثيرون يلقون كثيرا.

⁴¹And he sat down over against the treasury, and beheld how the multitude cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.

⁴²فجاءت ارملة فقيرة والقت فلسين قيمتهما ربع.

⁴²And there came a poor widow, and she cast in two mites, which make a farthing.

⁴³فدعا تلاميذه وقال لهم الحق اقول لكم ان هذه الارملة الفقيرة قد القت اكثر من جميع الذين القوا في الخزانة.

⁴³And he called unto him his disciples, and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, This poor widow cast in more than all they that are casting into the treasury:

⁴⁴لان الجميع من فضلتهم ألقوا. واما هذه فمن اعوازها القت كل ما عندها كل معيشتها

⁴⁴for they all did cast in of their superfluity; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, [even] all her living.
