¹Meanwhile, when a multitude of many thousands had gathered together, so much so that they trampled on each other, he began to tell his disciples first of all, “Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

¹وفي اثناء ذلك اذ اجتمع ربوات الشعب حتى كان بعضهم يدوس بعضا ابتدأ يقول لتلاميذه اولا تحرزوا لانفسكم من خمير الفريسيين الذي هو الرياء.

² But there is nothing covered up, that will not be revealed, nor hidden, that will not be known.

²فليس مكتوم لن يستعلن ولا خفي لن يعرف.

³ Therefore whatever you have said in the darkness will be heard in the light. What you have spoken in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed on the housetops.

³لذلك كل ما قلتموه في الظلمة يسمع في النور وما كلمتم به الاذن في المخادع ينادى به على السطوح.

⁴ “I tell you, my friends, don’t be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.

⁴ولكن اقول لكم يا احبائي لا تخافوا من الذين يقتلون الجسد وبعد ذلك ليس لهم ما يفعلون اكثر.

⁵ But I will warn you whom you should fear. Fear him, who after he has killed, has power to cast into Gehenna. or, Hell Yes, I tell you, fear him.

⁵بل اريكم ممن تخافون. خافوا من الذي بعدما يقتل له سلطان ان يلقي في جهنم. نعم اقول لكم من هذا خافوا.

⁶ “Aren’t five sparrows sold for two assaria coins An assarion was a small copper coin worth about an hour’s wages for an agricultural laborer. ? Not one of them is forgotten by God.

⁶أليست خمسة عصافير تباع بفلسين. وواحد منها ليس منسيا امام الله.

⁷ But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Therefore don’t be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows.

⁷بل شعور رؤوسكم ايضا جميعها محصاة. فلا تخافوا انتم افضل من عصافير كثيرة.

⁸ “I tell you, everyone who confesses me before men, him will the Son of Man also confess before the angels of God;

⁸واقول لكم كل من اعترف بي قدام الناس يعترف به ابن الانسان قدام ملائكة الله.

⁹ but he who denies me in the presence of men will be denied in the presence of the angels of God.

⁹ومن انكرني قدام الناس ينكر قدام ملائكة الله.

¹⁰ Everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but those who blaspheme against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.

¹⁰وكل من قال كلمة على ابن الانسان يغفر له. واما من جدف على الروح القدس فلا يغفر له.

¹¹ When they bring you before the synagogues, the rulers, and the authorities, don’t be anxious how or what you will answer, or what you will say;

¹¹ومتى قدموكم الى المجامع والرؤساء والسلاطين فلا تهتموا كيف او بما تحتجّون او بما تقولون.

¹² for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that same hour what you must say.”

¹²لان الروح القدس يعلّمكم في تلك الساعة ما يجب ان تقولوه

¹³One of the multitude said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”

¹³وقال له واحد من الجمع يا معلّم قل لاخي ان يقاسمني الميراث.

¹⁴But he said to him, “Man, who made me a judge or an arbitrator over you?”

¹⁴فقال له يا انسان من اقامني عليكما قاضيا او مقسّما.

¹⁵He said to them, “Beware! Keep yourselves from covetousness, for a man’s life doesn’t consist of the abundance of the things which he possesses.”

¹⁵وقال لهم انظروا وتحفّظوا من الطمع. فانه متى كان لاحد كثير فليست حياته من امواله.

¹⁶He spoke a parable to them, saying, “The ground of a certain rich man brought forth abundantly.

¹⁶وضرب لهم مثلا قائلا. انسان غني اخصبت كورته.

¹⁷ He reasoned within himself, saying, ‘What will I do, because I don’t have room to store my crops?’

¹⁷ففكر في نفسه قائلا ماذا اعمل لان ليس لي موضع اجمع فيه اثماري.

¹⁸ He said, ‘This is what I will do. I will pull down my barns, and build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.

¹⁸وقال اعمل هذا. اهدم مخازني وابني اعظم واجمع هناك جميع غلاتي وخيراتي.

¹⁹ I will tell my soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years. Take your ease, eat, drink, be merry.”’

¹⁹واقول لنفسي يا نفس لك خيرات كثيرة موضوعة لسنين كثيرة. استريحي وكلي واشربي وافرحي.

²⁰ “But God said to him, ‘You foolish one, tonight your soul is required of you. The things which you have prepared—whose will they be?’

²⁰فقال له الله يا غبي هذه الليلة تطلب نفسك منك. فهذه التي اعددتها لمن تكون.

²¹ So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”

²¹هكذا الذي يكنز لنفسه وليس هو غنيا للّه

²²He said to his disciples, “Therefore I tell you, don’t be anxious for your life, what you will eat, nor yet for your body, what you will wear.

²²وقال لتلاميذه. من اجل هذا اقول لكم لا تهتموا لحياتكم بما تأكلون ولا للجسد بما تلبسون.

²³ Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.

²³الحياة افضل من الطعام والجسد افضل من اللباس.

²⁴ Consider the ravens: they don’t sow, they don’t reap, they have no warehouse or barn, and God feeds them. How much more valuable are you than birds!

²⁴تأملوا الغربان. انها لا تزرع ولا تحصد وليس لها مخدع ولا مخزن والله يقيتها. كم انتم بالحري افضل من الطيور.

²⁵ Which of you by being anxious can add a cubit to his height?

²⁵ومن منكم اذا اهتم يقدر ان يزيد على قامته ذراعا واحدة.

²⁶ If then you aren’t able to do even the least things, why are you anxious about the rest?

²⁶فان كنتم لا تقدرون ولا على الاصغر فلماذا تهتمون بالبواقي.

²⁷ Consider the lilies, how they grow. They don’t toil, neither do they spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

²⁷تأملوا الزنابق كيف تنمو. لا تتعب ولا تغزل. ولكن اقول لكم انه ولا سليمان في كل مجده كان يلبس كواحدة منها.

²⁸ But if this is how God clothes the grass in the field, which today exists, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith?

²⁸فان كان العشب الذي يوجد اليوم في الحقل ويطرح غدا في التنور يلبسه الله هكذا فكم بالحري يلبسكم انتم يا قليلي الايمان.

²⁹ Don’t seek what you will eat or what you will drink; neither be anxious.

²⁹فلا تطلبوا انتم ما تأكلون وما تشربون ولا تقلقوا.

³⁰ For the nations of the world seek after all of these things, but your Father knows that you need these things.

³⁰فان هذه كلها تطلبها امم العالم. واما انتم فابوكم يعلم انكم تحتاجون الى هذه.

³¹ But seek God’s Kingdom, and all these things will be added to you.

³¹بل اطلبوا ملكوت الله وهذه كلها تزاد لكم

³² Don’t be afraid, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.

³²لا تخف ايها القطيع الصغير لان اباكم قد سرّ ان يعطيكم الملكوت.

³³ Sell that which you have, and give gifts to the needy. Make for yourselves purses which don’t grow old, a treasure in the heavens that doesn’t fail, where no thief approaches, neither moth destroys.

³³بيعوا مالكم واعطوا صدقة. اعملوا لكم اكياسا لا تفنى وكنزا لا ينفد في السموات حيث لا يقرب سارق ولا يبلي سوس.

³⁴ For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

³⁴لانه حيث يكون كنزكم هناك يكون قلبكم ايضا.

³⁵ “Let your waist be dressed and your lamps burning.

³⁵لتكن احقاؤكم ممنطقة وسرجكم موقدة.

³⁶ Be like men watching for their lord, when he returns from the marriage feast; that, when he comes and knocks, they may immediately open to him.

³⁶وانتم مثل اناس ينتظرون سيدهم متى يرجع من العرس حتى اذا جاء وقرع يفتحون له للوقت.

³⁷ Blessed are those servants, whom the lord will find watching when he comes. Most certainly I tell you, that he will dress himself, and make them recline, and will come and serve them.

³⁷طوبى لاولئك العبيد الذين اذا جاء سيدهم يجدهم ساهرين. الحق اقول لكم انه يتمنطق ويتكئهم ويتقدم ويخدمهم.

³⁸ They will be blessed if he comes in the second or third watch, and finds them so.

³⁸وان أتى في الهزيع الثاني او أتى في الهزيع الثالث ووجدهم هكذا فطوبى لاولئك العبيد.

³⁹ But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched, and not allowed his house to be broken into.

³⁹وانما اعلموا هذا انه لو عرف رب البيت في اي ساعة يأتي السارق لسهر ولم يدع بيته ينقب.

⁴⁰ Therefore be ready also, for the Son of Man is coming in an hour that you don’t expect him.”

⁴⁰فكونوا انتم اذا مستعدين لانه في ساعة لا تظنون يأتي ابن الانسان

⁴¹Peter said to him, “Lord, are you telling this parable to us, or to everybody?”

⁴¹فقال له بطرس يا رب ألنا تقول هذا المثل ام للجميع ايضا.

⁴²The Lord said, “Who then is the faithful and wise steward, whom his lord will set over his household, to give them their portion of food at the right times?

⁴²فقال الرب فمن هو الوكيل الامين الحكيم الذي يقيمه سيده على خدمه ليعطيهم العلوفة في حينها.

⁴³ Blessed is that servant whom his lord will find doing so when he comes.

⁴³طوبى لذلك العبد الذي اذا جاء سيده يجده يفعل هكذا.

⁴⁴ Truly I tell you, that he will set him over all that he has.

⁴⁴بالحق اقول لكم انه يقيمه على جميع امواله.

⁴⁵ But if that servant says in his heart, ‘My lord delays his coming,’ and begins to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken,

⁴⁵ولكن ان قال ذلك العبد في قلبه سيدي يبطئ قدومه. فيبتدئ يضرب الغلمان والجواري ويأكل ويشرب ويسكر.

⁴⁶ then the lord of that servant will come in a day when he isn’t expecting him, and in an hour that he doesn’t know, and will cut him in two, and place his portion with the unfaithful.

⁴⁶يأتي سيد ذلك العبد في يوم لا ينتظره وفي ساعة لا يعرفها فيقطعه ويجعل نصيبه مع الخائنين.

⁴⁷ That servant, who knew his lord’s will, and didn’t prepare, nor do what he wanted, will be beaten with many stripes,

⁴⁷واما ذلك العبد الذي يعلم ارادة سيده ولا يستعد ولا يفعل بحسب ارادته فيضرب كثيرا.

⁴⁸ but he who didn’t know, and did things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with few stripes. To whomever much is given, of him will much be required; and to whom much was entrusted, of him more will be asked.

⁴⁸ولكن الذي لا يعلم ويفعل ما يستحق ضربات يضرب قليلا. فكل من أعطي كثيرا يطلب منه كثير ومن يودعونه كثيرا يطالبونه باكثر

⁴⁹ “I came to throw fire on the earth. I wish it were already kindled.

⁴⁹جئت لألقي نارا على الارض. فماذا اريد لو اضطرمت.

⁵⁰ But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!

⁵⁰ولي صبغة اصطبغها وكيف انحصر حتى تكمل.

⁵¹ Do you think that I have come to give peace in the earth? I tell you, no, but rather division.

⁵¹أتظنون اني جئت لاعطي سلاما على الارض. كلا اقول لكم. بل انقساما.

⁵² For from now on, there will be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.

⁵²لانه يكون من الآن خمسة في بيت واحد منقسمين ثلثة على اثنين واثنان على ثلثة.

⁵³ They will be divided, father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against her mother; mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.” Micah 7:6

⁵³ينقسم الاب على الابن والابن على الاب. والام على البنت والبنت على الام. والحماة على كنتها والكنة على حماتها

⁵⁴ He said to the multitudes also, “When you see a cloud rising from the west, immediately you say, ‘A shower is coming,’ and so it happens.

⁵⁴ثم قال ايضا للجموع. اذا رأيتم السحاب تطلع من المغارب فللوقت تقولون انه يأتي مطر. فيكون هكذا.

⁵⁵ When a south wind blows, you say, ‘There will be a scorching heat,’ and it happens.

⁵⁵واذا رأيتم ريح الجنوب تهب تقولون انه سيكون حر. فيكون.

⁵⁶ You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky, but how is it that you don’t interpret this time?

⁵⁶يا مراؤون تعرفون ان تميّزوا وجه الارض والسماء واما هذا الزمان فكيف لا تميّزونه.

⁵⁷ Why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right?

⁵⁷ولماذا لا تحكمون بالحق من قبل نفوسكم.

⁵⁸ For when you are going with your adversary before the magistrate, try diligently on the way to be released from him, lest perhaps he drag you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison.

⁵⁸حينما تذهب مع خصمك الى الحاكم ابذل الجهد وانت في الطريق لتتخلّص منه. لئلا يجرك الى القاضي ويسلمك القاضي الى الحاكم فيلقيك الحاكم في السجن.

⁵⁹ I tell you, you will by no means get out of there, until you have paid the very last penny. literally, lepton. A lepton is a very small brass Jewish coin worth half a Roman quadrans each, which is worth a quarter of the copper assarion. Lepta are worth less than 1% of an agricultural worker’s daily wages. ”

⁵⁹اقول لك لا تخرج من هناك حتى توفي الفلس الاخير
