¹And it came to pass, when he went into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees on a sabbath to eat bread, that they were watching him.

¹واذ جاء الى بيت احد رؤساء الفريسيين في السبت ليأكل خبزا كانوا يراقبونه.

²And behold, there was before him a certain man that had the dropsy.

²واذا انسان مستسق كان قدامه.

³And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath, or not?

³فاجاب يسوع وكلم الناموسيين والفريسيين قائلا هل يحل الابراء في السبت.

⁴But they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go.

⁴فسكتوا. فامسكه وابرأه واطلقه.

⁵And he said unto them, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a well, and will not straightway draw him up on a sabbath day?

⁵ثم اجابهم وقال من منكم يسقط حماره او ثوره في بئر ولا ينشله حالا في يوم السبت.

⁶And they could not answer again unto these things.

⁶فلم يقدروا ان يجيبوه عن ذلك

⁷And he spake a parable unto those that were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief seats; saying unto them,

⁷وقال للمدعوين مثلا وهو يلاحظ كيف اختاروا المتكآت الاولى قائلا لهم

⁸When thou art bidden of any man to a marriage feast, sit not down in the chief seat; lest haply a more honorable man than thou be bidden of him,

⁸متى دعيت من احد الى عرس فلا تتكئ في المتكإ الاول لعل اكرم منك يكون قد دعي منه.

⁹and he that bade thee and him shall come and say to thee, Give this man place; and then thou shalt begin with shame to take the lowest place.

⁹فيأتي الذي دعاك واياه ويقول لك اعطي مكانا لهذا. فحينئذ تبتدئ بخجل تأخذ الموضع الاخير.

¹⁰But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest place; that when he that hath bidden thee cometh, he may say to thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have glory in the presence of all that sit at meat with thee.

¹⁰بل متى دعيت فاذهب واتكئ في الموضع الاخير حتى اذا جاء الذي دعاك يقول لك يا صديق ارتفع الى فوق. حينئذ يكون لك مجد امام المتكئين معك.

¹¹For everyone that exalteth himself shall be humbled; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

¹¹لان كل من يرفع نفسه يتضع ومن يضع نفسه يرتفع

¹²And he said to him also that had bidden him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, nor thy kinsmen, nor rich neighbors; lest haply they also bid thee again, and a recompense be made thee.

¹²وقال ايضا للذي دعاه اذا صنعت غذاء او عشاء فلا تدع اصدقاءك ولا اخوتك ولا اقرباءك ولا الجيران الاغنياء لئلا يدعوك هم ايضا فتكون لك مكافاة.

¹³But when thou makest a feast, bid the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:

¹³بل اذا صنعت ضيافة فادع المساكين الجدع العرج العمي.

¹⁴and thou shalt be blessed; because they have not [wherewith] to recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed in the resurrection of the just.

¹⁴فيكون لك الطوبى اذ ليس لهم حتى يكافوك. لانك تكافى في قيامة الابرار

¹⁵And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.

¹⁵فلما سمع ذلك واحد من المتكئين قال له طوبى لمن يأكل خبزا في ملكوت الله.

¹⁶But he said unto him, A certain man made a great supper; and he bade many:

¹⁶فقال له. انسان صنع عشاء عظيما ودعا كثيرين.

¹⁷and he sent forth his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for [all] things are now ready.

¹⁷وارسل عبده في ساعة العشاء ليقول للمدعوين تعالوا لان كل شيء قد أعد.

¹⁸And they all with one [consent] began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a field, and I must needs go out and see it; I pray thee have me excused.

¹⁸فابتدأ الجميع برأي واحد يستعفون. قال له الاول اني اشتريت حقلا وانا مضطر ان اخرج وانظره. اسألك ان تعفيني.

¹⁹And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them; I pray thee have me excused.

¹⁹وقال آخر اني اشتريت خمسة ازواج بقر وانا ماض لامتحنها. اسألك ان تعفيني.

²⁰And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.

²⁰وقال آخر اني تزوجت بامرأة فلذلك لا اقدر ان اجيء.

²¹And the servant came, and told his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor and maimed and blind and lame.

²¹فأتى ذلك العبد واخبر سيده بذلك. حينئذ غضب رب البيت وقال لعبده اخرج عاجلا الى شوارع المدينة وازقتها وادخل الى هنا المساكين والجدع والعرج والعمي.

²²And the servant said, Lord, what thou didst command is done, and yet there is room.

²²فقال العبد يا سيد قد صار كما امرت ويوجد ايضا مكان.

²³And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and constrain [them] to come in, that my house may be filled.

²³فقال السيد للعبد اخرج الى الطرق والسياجات والزمهم بالدخول حتى يمتلئ بيتي.

²⁴For I say unto you, that none of those men that were bidden shall taste of my supper.

²⁴لاني اقول لكم انه ليس واحد من اولئك الرجال المدعوين يذوق عشائي

²⁵Now there went with him great multitudes: and he turned, and said unto them,

²⁵وكان جموع كثيرة سائرين معه فالتفت وقال لهم

²⁶If any man cometh unto me, and hateth not his own father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

²⁶ان كان احد يأتي اليّ ولا يبغض اباه وامه وامرأته واولاده واخوته واخواته حتى نفسه ايضا فلا يقدر ان يكون لي تلميذا.

²⁷Whosoever doth not bear his own cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.

²⁷ومن لا يحمل صليبه ويأتي ورائي فلا يقدر ان يكون لي تلميذا.

²⁸For which of you, desiring to build a tower, doth not first sit down and count the cost, whether he have [wherewith] to complete it?

²⁸ومن منكم وهو يريد ان يبني برجا لا يجلس اولا ويحسب النفقة هل عنده ما يلزم لكماله.

²⁹Lest haply, when he hath laid a foundation, and is not able to finish, all that behold begin to mock him,

²⁹لئلا يضع الاساس ولا يقدر ان يكمل فيبتدئ جميع الناظرين يهزأون به.

³⁰saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.

³⁰قائلين هذا الانسان ابتدأ يبني ولم يقدر ان يكمل.

³¹Or what king, as he goeth to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and take counsel whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?

³¹واي ملك ان ذهب لمقاتلة ملك آخر في حرب لا يجلس اولا ويتشاور هل يستطيع ان يلاقي بعشرة آلاف الذي يأتي عليه بعشرين الفا.

³²Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and asketh conditions of peace.

³²وإلا فما دام ذلك بعيدا يرسل سفارة ويسأل ما هو للصلح.

³³So therefore whosoever he be of you that renounceth not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.

³³فكذلك كل واحد منكم لا يترك جميع امواله لا يقدر ان يكون لي تلميذا.

³⁴Salt therefore is good: but if even the salt have lost its savor, wherewith shall it be seasoned?

³⁴الملح جيد. ولكن اذا فسد الملح فبماذا يصلح.

³⁵It is fit neither for the land nor for the dunghill: [men] cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

³⁵لا يصلح لارض ولا لمزبلة فيطرحونه خارجا. من له اذنان للسمع فليسمع
