¹في تلك الساعة تقدم التلاميذ الى يسوع قائلين فمن هو اعظم في ملكوت السموات.

¹In that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who then is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?”

²فدعا يسوع اليه ولدا واقامه في وسطهم

²Jesus called a little child to himself, and set him in their midst,

³وقال. الحق اقول لكم ان لم ترجعوا وتصيروا مثل الاولاد فلن تدخلوا ملكوت السموات.

³and said, “Most certainly I tell you, unless you turn, and become as little children, you will in no way enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.

⁴فمن وضع نفسه مثل هذا الولد فهو الاعظم في ملكوت السموات.

⁴ Whoever therefore humbles himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.

⁵ومن قبل ولدا واحدا مثل هذا باسمي فقد قبلني.

⁵ Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me,

⁶ومن أعثر احد هؤلاء الصغار المؤمنين بي فخير له ان يعلق في عنقه حجر الرحى ويغرق في لجة البحر.

⁶ but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him that a huge millstone should be hung around his neck, and that he should be sunk in the depths of the sea.

⁷ويل للعالم من العثرات. فلا بد ان تأتي العثرات ولكن ويل لذلك الانسان الذي به تأتي العثرة.

⁷ “Woe to the world because of occasions of stumbling! For it must be that the occasions come, but woe to that person through whom the occasion comes!

⁸فان اعثرتك يدك او رجلك فاقطعها وألقها عنك. خير لك ان تدخل الحياة اعرج او اقطع من ان تلقى في أتون النار الابدية ولك يدان او رجلان.

⁸ If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off, and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life maimed or crippled, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into the eternal fire.

⁹وان اعثرتك عينك فاقلعها وألقها عنك. خير لك ان تدخل الحياة اعور من ان تلقى في جهنم النار ولك عينان.

⁹ If your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the Gehenna or, Hell of fire.

¹⁰انظروا لا تحتقروا احد هؤلاء الصغار. لاني اقول لكم ان ملائكتهم في السموات كل حين ينظرون وجه ابي الذي في السموات.

¹⁰ See that you don’t despise one of these little ones, for I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.

¹¹لان ابن الانسان قد جاء لكي يخلّص ما قد هلك.

¹¹ For the Son of Man came to save that which was lost.

¹²ماذا تظنون. ان كان لانسان مئة خروف وضل واحد منها أفلا يترك التسعة والتسعين على الجبال ويذهب يطلب الضال.

¹² “What do you think? If a man has one hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine, go to the mountains, and seek that which has gone astray?

¹³وان اتفق ان يجده فالحق اقول لكم انه يفرح به اكثر من التسعة والتسعين التي لم تضل.

¹³ If he finds it, most certainly I tell you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine which have not gone astray.

¹⁴هكذا ليست مشيئة امام ابيكم الذي في السموات ان يهلك احد هؤلاء الصغار

¹⁴ Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.

¹⁵وان اخطأ اليك اخوك فاذهب وعاتبه بينك وبينه وحدكما. ان سمع منك فقد ربحت اخاك.

¹⁵ “If your brother sins against you, go, show him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained back your brother.

¹⁶وان لم يسمع فخذ معك ايضا واحدا او اثنين لكي تقوم كل كلمة على فم شاهدين او ثلاثة.

¹⁶ But if he doesn’t listen, take one or two more with you, that at the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. Deuteronomy 19:15

¹⁷وان لم يسمع منهم فقل للكنيسة. وان لم يسمع من الكنيسة فليكن عندك كالوثني والعشار.

¹⁷ If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the assembly. If he refuses to hear the assembly also, let him be to you as a Gentile or a tax collector.

¹⁸الحق اقول لكم كل ما تربطونه على الارض يكون مربوطا في السماء. وكل ما تحلّونه على الارض يكون محلولا في السماء.

¹⁸ Most certainly I tell you, whatever things you bind on earth will have been bound in heaven, and whatever things you release on earth will have been released in heaven.

¹⁹واقول لكم ايضا ان اتفق اثنان منكم على الارض في اي شيء يطلبانه فانه يكون لهما من قبل ابي الذي في السموات.

¹⁹ Again, assuredly I tell you, that if two of you will agree on earth concerning anything that they will ask, it will be done for them by my Father who is in heaven.

²⁰لانه حيثما اجتمع اثنان او ثلاثة باسمي فهناك اكون في وسطهم

²⁰ For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in their midst.”

²¹حينئذ تقدم اليه بطرس وقال يا رب كم مرة يخطئ اليّ اخي وانا اغفر له. هل الى سبع مرات.

²¹Then Peter came and said to him, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Until seven times?”

²²قال له يسوع لا اقول لك الى سبع مرات بل الى سبعين مرة سبع مرات.

²²Jesus said to him, “I don’t tell you until seven times, but, until seventy times seven.

²³لذلك يشبه ملكوت السموات انسانا ملكا اراد ان يحاسب عبيده.

²³ Therefore the Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king, who wanted to reconcile accounts with his servants.

²⁴فلما ابتدأ في المحاسبة قدم اليه واحد مديون بعشرة آلاف وزنة.

²⁴ When he had begun to reconcile, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents. Ten thousand talents represents an extremely large sum of money, equivalent to about 60,000,000 denarii, where one denarius was typical of one day’s wages for agricultural labor.

²⁵واذ لم يكن له ما يوفي أمر سيده ان يباع هو وامرأته واولاده وكل ما له ويوفى الدين.

²⁵ But because he couldn’t pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, with his wife, his children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.

²⁶فخر العبد وسجد له قائلا يا سيد تمهل عليّ فاوفيك الجميع.

²⁶ The servant therefore fell down and kneeled before him, saying, ‘Lord, have patience with me, and I will repay you all!’

²⁷فتحنن سيد ذلك العبد واطلقه وترك له الدين.

²⁷ The lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt.

²⁸ولما خرج ذلك العبد وجد واحدا من العبيد رفقائه كان مديونا له بمئة دينار. فامسكه واخذ بعنقه قائلا أوفني ما لي عليك.

²⁸ “But that servant went out, and found one of his fellow servants, who owed him one hundred denarii, 100 denarii was about one sixtieth of a talent. and he grabbed him, and took him by the throat, saying, ‘Pay me what you owe!’

²⁹فخرّ العبد رفيقه على قدميه وطلب اليه قائلا تمهل عليّ فاوفيك الجميع.

²⁹ “So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, saying, ‘Have patience with me, and I will repay you!’

³⁰فلم يرد بل مضى والقاه في سجن حتى يوفي الدين.

³⁰ He would not, but went and cast him into prison, until he should pay back that which was due.

³¹فلما رأى العبيد رفقاؤه ما كان حزنوا جدا وأتوا وقصّوا على سيدهم كل ما جرى.

³¹ So when his fellow servants saw what was done, they were exceedingly sorry, and came and told to their lord all that was done.

³²فدعاه حينئذ سيده وقال له. ايها العبد الشرير كل ذلك الدين تركته لك لانك طلبت اليّ.

³² Then his lord called him in, and said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt, because you begged me.

³³أفما كان ينبغي انك انت ايضا ترحم العبد رفيقك كما رحمتك انا.

³³ Shouldn’t you also have had mercy on your fellow servant, even as I had mercy on you?’

³⁴وغضب سيده وسلمه الى المعذبين حتى يوفي كل ما كان له عليه.

³⁴ His lord was angry, and delivered him to the tormentors, until he should pay all that was due to him.

³⁵فهكذا ابي السماوي يفعل بكم ان لم تتركوا من قلوبكم كل واحد لاخيه زلاته

³⁵ So my heavenly Father will also do to you, if you don’t each forgive your brother from your hearts for his misdeeds.”
