¹ولما قربوا من اورشليم وجاءوا الى بيت فاجي عند جبل الزيتون حينئذ ارسل يسوع تلميذين

¹And when they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage, at the mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,

²قائلا لهما. اذهبا الى القرية التي امامكما فللوقت تجدان اتانا مربوطة وجحشا معها فحلاهما وأتياني بهما.

²saying to them, Go into the village over against you, and immediately ye will find an ass tied, and a colt with it; loose [them] and lead [them] to me.

³وان قال لكما احد شيئا فقولا الرب محتاج اليهما. فللوقت يرسلهما.

³And if any one say anything to you, ye shall say, The Lord has need of them, and straightway he will send them.

⁴فكان هذا كله لكي يتم ما قيل بالنبي القائل

⁴But all this came to pass, that that might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying,

⁵قولوا لابنة صهيون هوذا ملكك يأتيك وديعا راكبا على اتان وجحش ابن اتان.

⁵Say to the daughter of Zion, Behold thy King cometh to thee, meek, and mounted upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.

⁶فذهب التلميذان وفعلا كما امرهما يسوع.

⁶But the disciples, having gone and done as Jesus had ordered them,

⁷وأتيا بالاتان والجحش ووضعا عليهما ثيابهما فجلس عليهما.

⁷brought the ass and the colt and put their garments upon them, and he sat on them.

⁸والجمع الاكثر فرشوا ثيابهم في الطريق. وآخرون قطعوا اغصانا من الشجر وفرشوها في الطريق.

⁸But a very great crowd strewed their own garments on the way, and others kept cutting down branches from the trees and strewing them on the way.

⁹والجموع الذين تقدموا والذين تبعوا كانوا يصرخون قائلين أوصنا لابن داود. مبارك الآتي باسم الرب. أوصنا في الاعالي.

⁹And the crowds who went before him and who followed cried, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David; blessed [be] he who comes in the name of [the] Lord; hosanna in the highest.

¹⁰ولما دخل اورشليم ارتجّت المدينة كلها قائلة من هذا.

¹⁰And as he entered into Jerusalem, the whole city was moved, saying, Who is this?

¹¹فقالت الجموع هذا يسوع النبي الذي من ناصرة الجليل

¹¹And the crowds said, This is Jesus the prophet who is from Nazareth of Galilee.

¹²ودخل يسوع الى هيكل الله واخرج جميع الذين كانوا يبيعون ويشترون في الهيكل وقلب موائد الصيارفة وكراسي باعة الحمام

¹²And Jesus entered into the temple [of God], and cast out all that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those that sold the doves.

¹³وقال لهم. مكتوب بيتي بيت الصلاة يدعى وانتم جعلتموه مغارة لصوص.

¹³And he says to them, It is written, My house shall be called a house of prayer, but *ye* have made it a den of robbers.

¹⁴وتقدم اليه عمي وعرج في الهيكل فشفاهم.

¹⁴And blind and lame came to him in the temple, and he healed them.

¹⁵فلما رأى رؤساء الكهنة والكتبة العجائب التي صنع والاولاد يصرخون في الهيكل ويقولون أوصنا لابن داود غضبوا

¹⁵And when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonders which he wrought, and the children crying in the temple and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David, they were indignant,

¹⁶وقالوا له أتسمع ما يقول هؤلاء. فقال لهم يسوع نعم. أما قرأتم قط من افواه الاطفال والرضّع هيأت تسبيحا.

¹⁶and said to him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus says to them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?

¹⁷ثم تركهم وخرج خارج المدينة الى بيت عنيا وبات هناك

¹⁷And leaving them he went forth out of the city to Bethany, and there he passed the night.

¹⁸وفي الصبح اذ كان راجعا الى المدينة جاع.

¹⁸But early in the morning, as he came back into the city, he hungered.

¹⁹فنظر شجرة تين على الطريق وجاء اليها فلم يجد فيها شيئا الا ورقا فقط. فقال لها لا يكون منك ثمر بعد الى الابد. فيبست التينة في الحال.

¹⁹And seeing one fig-tree in the way, he came to it and found on it nothing but leaves only. And he says to it, Let there be never more fruit of thee for ever. And the fig-tree was immediately dried up.

²⁰فلما رأى التلاميذ ذلك تعجبوا قائلين كيف يبست التينة في الحال.

²⁰And when the disciples saw [it], they wondered, saying, How immediately is the fig-tree dried up!

²¹فاجاب يسوع وقال لهم. الحق اقول لكم ان كان لكم ايمان ولا تشكّون فلا تفعلون امر التينة فقط بل ان قلتم ايضا لهذا الجبل انتقل وانطرح في البحر فيكون.

²¹And Jesus answering said to them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and do not doubt, not only shall ye do what [is done] to the fig-tree, but even if ye should say to this mountain, Be thou taken away and be thou cast into the sea, it shall come to pass.

²²وكل ما تطلبونه في الصلاة مؤمنين تنالونه

²²And all things whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

²³ولما جاء الى الهيكل تقدم اليه رؤساء الكهنة وشيوخ الشعب وهو يعلّم قائلين بأي سلطان تفعل هذا ومن اعطاك هذا السلطان.

²³And when he came into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him [as he was] teaching, saying, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority?

²⁴فاجاب يسوع وقال لهم وانا ايضا اسألكم كلمة واحدة فان قلتم لي عنها اقول لكم انا ايضا بأي سلطان افعل هذا.

²⁴And Jesus answering said to them, *I* also will ask you one thing, which if ye tell me, *I* also will tell you by what authority I do these things:

²⁵معمودية يوحنا من اين كانت. من السماء أم من الناس. ففكروا في انفسهم قائلين ان قلنا من السماء يقول لنا فلماذا لم تؤمنوا به.

²⁵The baptism of John, whence was it? of heaven or of men? And they reasoned among themselves, saying, If we should say, Of heaven, he will say to us, Why then have ye not believed him?

²⁶وان قلنا من الناس نخاف من الشعب. لان يوحنا عند الجميع مثل نبي.

²⁶but if we should say, Of men, we fear the crowd, for all hold John for a prophet.

²⁷فاجابوا يسوع وقالوا لا نعلم. فقال لهم هو ايضا ولا انا اقول لكم باي سلطان افعل هذا

²⁷And answering Jesus they said, We do not know. *He* also said to them, Neither do *I* tell you by what authority I do these things.

²⁸ماذا تظنون. كان لانسان ابنان فجاء الى الاول وقال يا ابني اذهب اليوم اعمل في كرمي.

²⁸But what think ye? A man had two children, and coming to the first he said, Child, go to-day, work in [my] vineyard.

²⁹فاجاب وقال ما اريد. ولكنه ندم اخيرا ومضى.

²⁹And he answering said, I will not; but afterwards repenting himself he went.

³⁰وجاء الى الثاني وقال كذلك. فاجاب وقال ها انا يا سيد. ولم يمض.

³⁰And coming to the second he said likewise; and he answering said, *I* [go], sir, and went not.

³¹فأي الاثنين عمل ارادة الاب. قالوا له الاول. قال لهم يسوع الحق اقول لكم ان العشارين والزواني يسبقونكم الى ملكوت الله.

³¹Which of the two did the will of the father? They say [to him], The first. Jesus says to them, Verily I say unto you that the tax-gatherers and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.

³²لان يوحنا جاءكم في طريق الحق فلم تؤمنوا به. واما العشارون والزواني فآمنوا به. وانتم اذ رأيتم لم تندموا اخيرا لتؤمنوا به

³²For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not; but the tax-gatherers and the harlots believed him; but *ye* when ye saw [it] repented not yourselves afterwards to believe him.

³³اسمعوا مثلا آخر. كان انسان رب بيت غرس كرما واحاطه بسياج وحفر فيه معصرة وبنى برجا وسلمه الى كرامين وسافر.

³³Hear another parable: There was a householder who planted a vineyard, and made a fence round it, and dug a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and left the country.

³⁴ولما قرب وقت الاثمار ارسل عبيده الى الكرامين لياخذ اثماره.

³⁴But when the time of fruit drew near, he sent his bondmen to the husbandmen to receive his fruits.

³⁵فاخذ الكرامون عبيده وجلدوا بعضا وقتلوا بعضا ورجموا بعضا.

³⁵And the husbandmen took his bondmen, and beat one, killed another, and stoned another.

³⁶ثم ارسل ايضا عبيدا آخرين اكثر من الاولين. ففعلوا بهم كذلك.

³⁶Again he sent other bondmen more than the first, and they did to them in like manner.

³⁷فاخيرا ارسل اليهم ابنه قائلا يهابون ابني.

³⁷And at last he sent to them his son, saying, They will have respect for my son.

³⁸واما الكرامون فلما رأوا الابن قالوا فيما بينهم هذا هو الوارث هلموا نقتله وناخذ ميراثه.

³⁸But the husbandmen, seeing the son, said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him and possess his inheritance.

³⁹فأخذوه واخرجوه خارج الكرم وقتلوه.

³⁹And they took him, and cast him forth out of the vineyard, and killed him.

⁴⁰فمتى جاء صاحب الكرم ماذا يفعل بأولئك الكرامين.

⁴⁰When therefore the lord of the vineyard comes, what shall he do to those husbandmen?

⁴¹قالوا له. أولئك الاردياء يهلكهم هلاكا رديّا ويسلم الكرم الى كرامين آخرين يعطونه الاثمار في اوقاتها.

⁴¹They say to him, He will miserably destroy those evil [men], and let out the vineyard to other husbandmen, who shall render him the fruits in their seasons.

⁴²قال لهم يسوع أما قرأتم قط في الكتب. الحجر الذي رفضه البناؤون هو قد صار راس الزاوية. من قبل الرب كان هذا وهو عجيب في اعيننا.

⁴²Jesus says to them, Have ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which they that builded rejected, this has become the corner-stone: this is of [the] Lord, and it is wonderful in our eyes?

⁴³لذلك اقول لكم ان ملكوت الله ينزع منكم ويعطى لأمة تعمل اثماره.

⁴³Therefore I say to you, that the kingdom of God shall be taken from you and shall be given to a nation producing the fruits of it.

⁴⁴ومن سقط على هذا الحجر يترضض ومن سقط هو عليه يسحقه

⁴⁴And he that falls on this stone shall be broken, but on whomsoever it shall fall, it shall grind him to powder.

⁴⁵ولما سمع رؤساء الكهنة والفريسيون امثاله عرفوا انه تكلم عليهم.

⁴⁵And the chief priests and the Pharisees, having heard his parables, knew that he spoke about them.

⁴⁶واذ كانوا يطلبون ان يمسكوه خافوا من الجموع لانه كان عندهم مثل نبي

⁴⁶And seeking to lay hold of him, they were afraid of the crowds, because they held him for a prophet.
