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

¹When they drew near to Jerusalem, and came to Bethsphage, TR & NU read “Bethphage” instead of “Bethsphage” to 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 that is opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Untie them, and bring them to me.

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

³ If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord needs them,’ and immediately he will send them.”

⁴فكان هذا كله لكي يتم ما قيل بالنبي القائل

⁴All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying,

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

⁵“Tell the daughter of Zion, behold, your King comes to you, humble, and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.” Zechariah 9:9

⁶فذهب التلميذان وفعلا كما امرهما يسوع.

⁶The disciples went, and did just as Jesus commanded them,

⁷وأتيا بالاتان والجحش ووضعا عليهما ثيابهما فجلس عليهما.

⁷and brought the donkey and the colt, and laid their clothes on them; and he sat on them.

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

⁸A very great multitude spread their clothes on the road. Others cut branches from the trees, and spread them on the road.

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

⁹The multitudes who went before him, and who followed kept shouting, “Hosanna “Hosanna” means “save us” or “help us, we pray.” to the son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!” Psalm 118:26

¹⁰ولما دخل اورشليم ارتجّت المدينة كلها قائلة من هذا.

¹⁰When he had come into Jerusalem, all the city was stirred up, saying, “Who is this?”

¹¹فقالت الجموع هذا يسوع النبي الذي من ناصرة الجليل

¹¹The multitudes said, “This is the prophet, Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.”

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

¹²Jesus entered into the temple of God, and drove out all of those who sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the money changers’ tables and the seats of those who sold the doves.

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

¹³He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ Isaiah 56:7 but you have made it a den of robbers!” Jeremiah 7:11

¹⁴وتقدم اليه عمي وعرج في الهيكل فشفاهم.

¹⁴The blind and the 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

¹⁵But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children who were 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, “Do you hear what these are saying?” Jesus said to them, “Yes. Did you never read, ‘Out of the mouth of babes and nursing babies you have perfected praise?’” Psalm 8:2

¹⁷ثم تركهم وخرج خارج المدينة الى بيت عنيا وبات هناك

¹⁷He left them, and went out of the city to Bethany, and lodged there.

¹⁸وفي الصبح اذ كان راجعا الى المدينة جاع.

¹⁸Now in the morning, as he returned to the city, he was hungry.

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.

¹⁹Seeing a fig tree by the road, he came to it, and found nothing on it but leaves. He said to it, “Let there be no fruit from you forever!” Immediately the fig tree withered away.

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

²⁰When the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, “How did the fig tree immediately wither away?”

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.

²¹Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, if you have faith, and don’t doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you told this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ it would be done.

²²وكل ما تطلبونه في الصلاة مؤمنين تنالونه

²² All things, whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.”

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

²³When he had come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him as he was teaching, and said, “By what authority do you do these things? Who gave you this authority?”

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

²⁴Jesus answered them, “I also will ask you one question, which if you tell me, I likewise 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.

²⁵ The baptism of John, where was it from? From heaven or from men?” They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will ask us, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’

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

²⁶But if we say, ‘From men,’ we fear the multitude, for all hold John as a prophet.”

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

²⁷They answered Jesus, and said, “We don’t know.” He also said to them, “Neither will 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.

²⁸ But what do you think? A man had two sons, and he came to the first, and said, ‘Son, go work today in my vineyard.’

²⁹فاجاب وقال ما اريد. ولكنه ندم اخيرا ومضى.

²⁹ He answered, ‘I will not,’ but afterward he changed his mind, and went.

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

³⁰ He came to the second, and said the same thing. He answered, ‘I go, sir,’ but he didn’t go.

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

³¹ Which of the two did the will of his father?” They said to him, “The first.” Jesus said to them, “Most certainly I tell you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering 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

³² For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you didn’t believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him. When you saw it, you didn’t even repent afterward, that you might believe him.

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

³³ “Hear another parable. There was a man who was a master of a household, who planted a vineyard, set a hedge about it, dug a winepress in it, built a tower, leased it out to farmers, and went into another country.

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

³⁴ When the season for the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the farmers, to receive his fruit.

³⁵فاخذ الكرامون عبيده وجلدوا بعضا وقتلوا بعضا ورجموا بعضا.

³⁵ The farmers took his servants, beat one, killed another, and stoned another.

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

³⁶ Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they treated them the same way.

³⁷فاخيرا ارسل اليهم ابنه قائلا يهابون ابني.

³⁷ But afterward he sent to them his son, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’

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

³⁸ But the farmers, when they saw the son, said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, and seize his inheritance.’

³⁹فأخذوه واخرجوه خارج الكرم وقتلوه.

³⁹ So they took him, and threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him.

⁴⁰فمتى جاء صاحب الكرم ماذا يفعل بأولئك الكرامين.

⁴⁰ When therefore the lord of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those farmers?”

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

⁴¹They told him, “He will miserably destroy those miserable men, and will lease out the vineyard to other farmers, who will give him the fruit in its season.”

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 said to them, “Did you never read in the Scriptures, ‘The stone which the builders rejected, the same was made the head of the corner. This was from the Lord. It is marvelous in our eyes?’ Psalm 118:22-23

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

⁴³ “Therefore I tell you, the Kingdom of God will be taken away from you, and will be given to a nation bringing forth its fruit.

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

⁴⁴ He who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but on whomever it will fall, it will scatter him as dust.”

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

⁴⁵When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he spoke about them.

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

⁴⁶When they sought to seize him, they feared the multitudes, because they considered him to be a prophet.
