مَثَل الوكيل الخائن | |
| 1 وَقَالَ أَيْضًا لِتَلاَمِيذِهِ: «كَانَ إِنْسَانٌ غَنِيٌّ لَهُ وَكِيلٌ، فَوُشِيَ بِهِ إِلَيْهِ بِأَنَّهُ يُبَذِّرُ أَمْوَالَهُ. | 1 And he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods. |
|
| 2 فَدَعَاهُ وَقَالَ لَهُ: مَا هذَا الَّذِي أَسْمَعُ عَنْكَ؟ أَعْطِ حِسَابَ وَكَالَتِكَ لأَنَّكَ لاَ تَقْدِرُ أَنْ تَكُونَ وَكِيلاً بَعْدُ. | 2 And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer steward. |
|
| 3 فَقَالَ الْوَكِيلُ فِي نَفْسِهِ: مَاذَا أَفْعَلُ؟ لأَنَّ سَيِّدِي يَأْخُذُ مِنِّي الْوَكَالَةَ. لَسْتُ أَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ أَنْقُبَ، وَأَسْتَحِي أَنْ أَسْتَعْطِيَ. | 3 Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed. |
|
| 4 قَدْ عَلِمْتُ مَاذَا أَفْعَلُ، حَتَّى إِذَا عُزِلْتُ عَنِ الْوَكَالَةِ يَقْبَلُونِي فِي بُيُوتِهِمْ. | 4 I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses. |
|
| 5 فَدَعَا كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ مَدْيُونِي سَيِّدِهِ، وَقَالَ لِلأَوَّلِ: كَمْ عَلَيْكَ لِسَيِّدِي؟ | 5 So he called every one of his lord's debtors unto him, and said unto the first, How much owest thou unto my lord? |
|
6 فَقَالَ: مِئَةُ بَثِّ زَيْتٍ. فَقَالَ لَهُ: خُذْ صَكَّكَ وَاجْلِسْ عَاجِلاً وَاكْتُبْ خَمْسِينَ.  | 6 And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty. |
|
| 7 ثُمَّ قَالَ لآخَرَ: وَأَنْتَ كَمْ عَلَيْكَ؟ فَقَالَ: مِئَةُ كُرِّ قَمْحٍ. فَقَالَ لَهُ: خُذْ صَكَّكَ وَاكْتُبْ ثَمَانِينَ. | 7 Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, An hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and write fourscore. |
|
| 8 فَمَدَحَ السَّيِّدُ وَكِيلَ الظُّلْمِ إِذْ بِحِكْمَةٍ فَعَلَ، لأَنَّ أَبْنَاءَ هذَا الدَّهْرِ أَحْكَمُ مِنْ أَبْنَاءِ النُّورِ فِي جِيلِهِمْ. | 8 And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light. |
|
| 9 وَأَنَا أَقُولُ لَكُمُ: اصْنَعُوا لَكُمْ أَصْدِقَاءَ بِمَالِ الظُّلْمِ، حَتَّى إِذَا فَنِيتُمْ يَقْبَلُونَكُمْ فِي الْمَظَالِّ الأَبَدِيَّةِ. | 9 And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations. |
|
| 10 اَلأَمِينُ فِي الْقَلِيلِ أَمِينٌ أَيْضًا فِي الْكَثِيرِ، وَالظَّالِمُ فِي الْقَلِيلِ ظَالِمٌ أَيْضًا فِي الْكَثِيرِ. | 10 He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. |
|
| 11 فَإِنْ لَمْ تَكُونُوا أُمَنَاءَ فِي مَالِ الظُّلْمِ، فَمَنْ يَأْتَمِنُكُمْ عَلَى الْحَقِّ؟ | 11 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? |
|
| 12 وَإِنْ لَمْ تَكُونُوا أُمَنَاءَ فِي مَا هُوَ لِلْغَيْرِ، فَمَنْ يُعْطِيكُمْ مَا هُوَ لَكُمْ؟ | 12 And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own? |
|
| 13 لاَ يَقْدِرُ خَادِمٌ أَنْ يَخْدِمَ سَيِّدَيْنِ، لأَنَّهُ إِمَّا أَنْ يُبْغِضَ الْوَاحِدَ وَيُحِبَّ الآخَرَ، أَوْ يُلاَزِمَ الْوَاحِدَ وَيَحْتَقِرَ الآخَرَ. لاَ تَقْدِرُونَ أَنْ تَخْدِمُوا اللهَ وَالْمَالَ». | 13 No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. |

| 14 وَكَانَ الْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ أَيْضًا يَسْمَعُونَ هذَا كُلَّهُ، وَهُمْ مُحِبُّونَ لِلْمَالِ، فَاسْتَهْزَأُوا بِهِ. | 14 And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him. |
|
| 15 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَنْتُمُ الَّذِينَ تُبَرِّرُونَ أَنْفُسَكُمْ قُدَّامَ النَّاسِ! وَلكِنَّ اللهَ يَعْرِفُ قُلُوبَكُمْ. إِنَّ الْمُسْتَعْلِيَ عِنْدَ النَّاسِ هُوَ رِجْسٌ قُدَّامَ اللهِ. | 15 And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God. |
|
| 16 «كَانَ النَّامُوسُ وَالأَنْبِيَاءُ إِلَى يُوحَنَّا. وَمِنْ ذلِكَ الْوَقْتِ يُبَشَّرُ بِمَلَكُوتِ اللهِ، وَكُلُّ وَاحِدٍ يَغْتَصِبُ نَفْسَهُ إِلَيْهِ. | 16 The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it. |
|
| 17 وَلكِنَّ زَوَالَ السَّمَاءِ وَالأَرْضِ أَيْسَرُ مِنْ أَنْ تَسْقُطَ نُقْطَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ مِنَ النَّامُوسِ. | 17 And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail. |
|
| 18 كُلُّ مَنْ يُطَلِّقُ امْرَأَتَهُ وَيَتَزَوَّجُ بِأُخْرَى يَزْنِي، وَكُلُّ مَنْ يَتَزَوَّجُ بِمُطَلَّقَةٍ مِنْ رَجُل يَزْنِي. | 18 Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery. |

مَثَل الغنى ولعازر | |
| 19 «كَانَ إِنْسَانٌ غَنِيٌّ وَكَانَ يَلْبَسُ الأَرْجُوانَ وَالْبَزَّ وَهُوَ يَتَنَعَّمُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ مُتَرَفِّهًا. | 19 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: |
|
| 20 وَكَانَ مِسْكِينٌ اسْمُهُ لِعَازَرُ، الَّذِي طُرِحَ عِنْدَ بَابِهِ مَضْرُوبًا بِالْقُرُوحِ، | 20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, |
|
| 21 وَيَشْتَهِي أَنْ يَشْبَعَ مِنَ الْفُتَاتِ السَّاقِطِ مِنْ مَائِدَةِ الْغَنِيِّ، بَلْ كَانَتِ الْكِلاَبُ تَأْتِي وَتَلْحَسُ قُرُوحَهُ. | 21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. |
|
| 22 فَمَاتَ الْمِسْكِينُ وَحَمَلَتْهُ الْمَلاَئِكَةُ إِلَى حِضْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ. وَمَاتَ الْغَنِيُّ أَيْضًا وَدُفِنَ، | 22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; |
|
| 23 فَرَفَعَ عَيْنَيْهِ فِي الجَحِيمِ وَهُوَ فِي الْعَذَابِ، وَرَأَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ وَلِعَازَرَ فِي حِضْنِهِ، | 23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. |
|
| 24 فَنَادَى وَقَالَ: يَا أَبِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ، ارْحَمْنِي، وَأَرْسِلْ لِعَازَرَ لِيَبُلَّ طَرَفَ إِصْبَِعِهِ بِمَاءٍ وَيُبَرِّدَ لِسَانِي، لأَنِّي مُعَذَّبٌ فِي هذَا اللَّهِيبِ. | 24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. |
|
| 25 فَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ: يَا ابْنِي، اذْكُرْ أَنَّكَ اسْتَوْفَيْتَ خَيْرَاتِكَ فِي حَيَاتِكَ، وَكَذلِكَ لِعَازَرُ الْبَلاَيَا. وَالآنَ هُوَ يَتَعَزَّى وَأَنْتَ تَتَعَذَّبُ. | 25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. |
|
| 26 وَفَوْقَ هذَا كُلِّهِ، بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكُمْ هُوَّةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ قَدْ أُثْبِتَتْ، حَتَّى إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يُرِيدُونَ الْعُبُورَ مِنْ ههُنَا إِلَيْكُمْ لاَ يَقْدِرُونَ، وَلاَ الَّذِينَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ يَجْتَازُونَ إِلَيْنَا. | 26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence. |
|
| 27 فَقَالَ: أَسْأَلُكَ إِذًا، يَا أَبَتِ، أَنْ تُرْسِلَهُ إِلَى بَيْتِ أَبِي، | 27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house: |
|
| 28 لأَنَّ لِي خَمْسَةَ إِخْوَةٍ، حَتَّى يَشْهَدَ لَهُمْ لِكَيْلاَ يَأْتُوا هُمْ أَيْضًا إِلَى مَوْضِعِ الْعَذَابِ هذَا. | 28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. |
|
| 29 قَالَ لَهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ: عِنْدَهُمْ مُوسَى وَالأَنْبِيَاءُ، لِيَسْمَعُوا مِنْهُمْ. | 29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. |
|
| 30 فَقَالَ: لاَ، يَا أَبِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ، بَلْ إِذَا مَضَى إِلَيْهِمْ وَاحِدٌ مِنَ الأَمْوَاتِ يَتُوبُونَ. | 30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. |
|
| 31 فَقَالَ لَهُ: إِنْ كَانُوا لاَ يَسْمَعُونَ مِنْ مُوسَى وَالأَنْبِيَاءِ، وَلاَ إِنْ قَامَ وَاحِدٌ مِنَ الأَمْوَاتِ يُصَدِّقُونَ». | 31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead. |
