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

¹And he began to say to them in parables, A man planted a vineyard, and made a fence round [it] and dug a wine-vat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and left the country.

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

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

³فاخذوه وجلدوه وارسلوه فارغا.

³But 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 to them another bondman; and [at] him they [threw stones, and] struck [him] on the head, and sent [him] away with insult.

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

⁵And [again] 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.

⁶Having yet therefore one beloved son, he sent also him to them the last, saying, They will have respect for my son.

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

⁷But those husbandmen said to one another, This is the heir: come, let us kill him and the inheritance will 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 shall the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others.

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

¹⁰Have ye not even read this scripture, The stone which they that builded rejected, this has become the corner-stone:

¹¹من قبل الرب كان هذا وهو عجيب في اعيننا.

¹¹this is of [the] Lord, and it is wonderful in our eyes?

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

¹²And they sought to lay hold of him, and they feared the crowd; for they knew that he had spoken the parable of them. And they left him and went away.

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

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

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

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

¹⁵Should we give, or should we not give? But he knowing their hypocrisy said unto them, Why tempt ye 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 says to them, Whose [is] this image and superscription? And they said to him, Caesar's.

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

¹⁷And Jesus answering said to them, Pay what is Caesar's to Caesar, and what is God's to God. And they wondered at him.

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

¹⁸And Sadducees come to him, that say there is no resurrection; and they demanded of 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 to us that if any one's brother die, and leave a wife behind, and leave no children, that his brother shall take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.

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

²⁰There were seven brethren; and the first took a wife, and dying did not leave seed;

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

²¹and the second took her and died, and neither did he leave seed; and the third likewise.

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

²²And the seven [took her and] did not leave seed. Last of all the woman also died.

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

²³In the resurrection, when they shall rise again, of which of them shall she be wife, for the seven had her as wife?

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

²⁴And Jesus answering said to them, Do not ye therefore err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God?

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

²⁵For when they rise from among [the] dead they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as angels [who are] in the heavens.

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 concerning the dead that they rise, have ye not read in the book of Moses, in [the section of] the bush, how God spoke to 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* therefore greatly err.

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

²⁸And one of the scribes who had come up, and had heard them reasoning together, perceiving that he had answered them well, demanded of him, Which is [the] first commandment of all?

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

²⁹And Jesus answered him, [The] first commandment of all [is], Hear, Israel: the Lord our God is one Lord;

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 thine understanding, and with all thy strength. This is [the] first commandment.

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

³¹And a second like it [is] this: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is not another commandment greater than these.

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

³²And the scribe said to him, Right, teacher; thou hast spoken according to [the] truth. For he is one, and there is none other besides him;

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 intelligence, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love one's neighbour as one's self, is more than all the 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 Jesus, seeing that he had answered intelligently, said to him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no one dared question him any more.

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

³⁵And Jesus answering said [as he was] teaching in the temple, How do the scribes say that the Christ is son of David?

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

³⁶[for] David himself said [speaking] in the Holy Spirit, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit on my right hand until I put thine enemies [as] footstool of thy feet.

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

³⁷David himself [therefore] calls him Lord, and whence is he his son? And the mass of the people heard him gladly.

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

³⁸And he said to them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, who like to walk about in long robes, and salutations in the marketplaces,

³⁹والمجالس الاولى في المجامع والمتكآت الأولى في الولائم.

³⁹and first seats in the synagogues, and first places at suppers;

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

⁴⁰who devour the houses of widows, and as a pretext make long prayers. These shall receive a severer judgment.

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

⁴¹And Jesus, having sat down opposite the treasury, saw how the crowd was casting money into the treasury; and many rich cast in much.

⁴²فجاءت ارملة فقيرة والقت فلسين قيمتهما ربع.

⁴²And a poor widow came and cast in two mites, which is a farthing.

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

⁴³And having called his disciples to [him] he said to them, Verily I say unto you, This poor widow has cast in more than all who have cast into the treasury:

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

⁴⁴for all have cast in of that which they had in abundance, but she of her destitution has cast in all that she had, the whole of her living.
