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

¹And he spoke also a parable to them to the purport that they should always pray and not faint,

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

²saying, There was a judge in a city, not fearing God and not respecting man:

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

³and there was a widow in that city, and she came to him, saying, Avenge me of mine adverse party.

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 time; but afterwards he said within himself, If even I fear not God and respect not man,

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

⁵at any rate because this widow annoys me I will avenge her, that she may not by perpetually coming completely harass me.

⁶وقال الرب اسمعوا ما يقول قاضي الظلم.

⁶And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge says.

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

⁷And shall not God at all avenge his elect, who cry to him day and night, and he bears long as to 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. But when the Son of man comes, shall he indeed find faith on the earth?

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

⁹And he spoke also to some, who trusted in themselves that they were righteous and made nothing of all the rest [of men], this parable:

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 tax-gatherer.

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

¹¹The Pharisee, standing, prayed thus to himself: God, I thank thee that I am not as the rest of men, rapacious, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax-gatherer.

¹²اصوم مرتين في الاسبوع واعشر كل ما اقتنيه.

¹²I fast twice in the week, I tithe everything I gain.

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

¹³And the tax-gatherer, standing afar off, would not lift up even his eyes to heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, O God, have compassion on me, the 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 that [other]. For every one who exalts himself shall be humbled, and he that humbles himself shall be exalted.

¹⁵فقدّموا اليه الاطفال ايضا ليلمسهم فلما رآهم التلاميذ انتهروهم.

¹⁵And they brought to him also infants that he might touch them, but the disciples when they saw [it] rebuked them.

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

¹⁶But Jesus calling them to [him] said, Suffer little children to come to me, and do not forbid them, for of such is the kingdom of God.

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

¹⁷Verily I say to you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child 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, having done what, shall I inherit eternal life?

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

¹⁹But Jesus said to him, Why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, 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, Honour thy father and thy mother.

²¹فقال هذه كلها حفظتها منذ حداثتي.

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

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 had heard this, he said to him, One thing is lacking to thee yet: Sell all that thou hast and distribute to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in the heavens, and come, follow me.

²³فلما سمع ذلك حزن لانه كان غنيا جدا.

²³But when he heard this he became very sorrowful, for he was very rich.

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

²⁴But when Jesus saw that he became very sorrowful, he said, How difficultly shall those who 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 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 those who heard it said, And who can be saved?

²⁷فقال غير المستطاع عند الناس مستطاع عند الله

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

²⁸فقال بطرس ها نحن قد تركنا كل شيء وتبعناك.

²⁸And Peter said, Behold, *we* have left all things and have 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 to them, Verily I say to you, There is no one who has left home, or parents, or brethren, or wife, 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 at this time, and in the coming age life eternal.

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

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

³²لانه يسلم الى الامم ويستهزأ به ويشتم ويتفل عليه

³²for he shall be delivered up to the nations, and shall be mocked, and insulted, and spit upon.

³³ويجلدونه ويقتلونه وفي اليوم الثالث يقوم.

³³And when they have scourged [him] they will kill him; and on the third day he will rise again.

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

³⁴And they understood nothing of these things. And this word was hidden from them, and they did not know what was said.

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

³⁵And it came to pass when he came into the neighbourhood of Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the wayside begging.

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

³⁶And when he heard the crowd passing, he inquired what this might be.

³⁷فاخبروه ان يسوع الناصري مجتاز.

³⁷And they told him that Jesus the Nazaraean was passing by.

³⁸فصرخ قائلا يا يسوع ابن داود ارحمني.

³⁸And he called out saying, Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.

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

³⁹And those [who were] going before rebuked him that he might be silent; but *he* cried out so much the more, Son of David, have mercy on me.

⁴⁰فوقف يسوع وامر ان يقدم اليه. ولما اقترب سأله

⁴⁰And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be led to him. And when he drew nigh he asked him [saying],

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

⁴¹What wilt thou that I shall do to thee? And he said, Lord, that I may see.

⁴²فقال له يسوع ابصر. ايمانك قد شفاك.

⁴²And Jesus said to him, See: thy faith has healed thee.

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

⁴³And immediately he saw, and followed him, glorifying God. And all the people when they saw [it] gave praise to God.
