Matthew 18

DOUAI-RHEIMS	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 At that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying: Who thinkest thou is the greater in the kingdom of heaven?	1 في تلك الساعة تقدم التلاميذ الى يسوع قائلين فمن هو اعظم في ملكوت السموات.
2 And Jesus calling unto him a little child, set him in the midst of them,	2 فدعا يسوع اليه ولدا واقامه في وسطهم
3 And said: Amen I say to you, unless you be converted, and become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.	3 وقال. الحق اقول لكم ان لم ترجعوا وتصيروا مثل الاولاد فلن تدخلوا ملكوت السموات.
4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, he is the greater in the kingdom of heaven.	4 فمن وضع نفسه مثل هذا الولد فهو الاعظم في ملكوت السموات.
5 And he that shall receive one such little child in my name, receiveth me.	5 ومن قبل ولدا واحدا مثل هذا باسمي فقد قبلني.
6 But he that shall scandalize one of these little ones that believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone should be hanged about his neck, and that he should be drowned in the depth of the sea.	6 ومن أعثر احد هؤلاء الصغار المؤمنين بي فخير له ان يعلق في عنقه حجر الرحى ويغرق في لجة البحر.
7 Woe to the world because of scandals. For it must needs be that scandals come: but nevertheless woe to that man by whom the scandal cometh.	7 ويل للعالم من العثرات. فلا بد ان تأتي العثرات ولكن ويل لذلك الانسان الذي به تأتي العثرة.
8 And if thy hand, or thy foot scandalize thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee. It is better for thee to go into life maimed or lame, than having two hands or two feet, to be cast into everlasting fire.	8 فان 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.
9 And if thy eye scandalize thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee. It is better for thee having one eye to enter into life, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.	9 وان اعثرتك عينك فاقلعها وألقها عنك. خير لك ان تدخل الحياة اعور من ان تلقى في جهنم النار ولك عينان.
10 See that you despise not one of these little ones: for I say to you, that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.	10 انظروا لا تحتقروا احد هؤلاء الصغار. لاني اقول لكم ان ملائكتهم في السموات كل حين ينظرون وجه ابي الذي في السموات.
11 For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.	11 لان ابن الانسان قد جاء لكي يخلّص ما قد هلك.
12 What think you? If a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them should go astray: doth he not leave the ninety-nine in the mountains, and go to seek that which is gone astray?	12 ماذا تظنون. ان كان لانسان مئة خروف وضل واحد منها أفلا يترك التسعة والتسعين على الجبال ويذهب يطلب الضال.
13 And if it so be that he find it: Amen I say to you, he rejoiceth more for that, than for the ninety-nine that went not astray.	13 وان اتفق ان يجده فالحق اقول لكم انه يفرح به اكثر من التسعة والتسعين التي لم تضل.
14 Even so it is not the will of your Father, who is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.	14 هكذا ليست مشيئة امام ابيكم الذي في السموات ان يهلك احد هؤلاء الصغار
15 But if thy brother shall offend against thee, go, and rebuke him between thee and him alone. If he shall hear thee, thou shalt gain thy brother.	15 وان اخطأ اليك اخوك فاذهب وعاتبه بينك وبينه وحدكما. ان سمع منك فقد ربحت اخاك.
16 And if he will not hear thee, take with thee one or two more: that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may stand.	16 وان لم يسمع فخذ معك ايضا واحدا او اثنين لكي تقوم كل كلمة على فم شاهدين او ثلاثة.
17 And if he will not hear them: tell the church. And if he will not hear the church, let him be to thee as the heathen and publican.	17 وان لم يسمع منهم فقل للكنيسة. وان لم يسمع من الكنيسة فليكن عندك كالوثني والعشار.
18 Amen I say to you, whatsoever you shall bind upon earth, shall be bound also in heaven; and whatsoever you shall loose upon earth, shall be loosed also in heaven.	18 الحق اقول لكم كل ما تربطونه على الارض يكون مربوطا في السماء. وكل ما تحلّونه على الارض يكون محلولا في السماء.
19 Again I say to you, that if two of you shall consent upon earth, concerning any thing whatsoever they shall ask, it shall be done to them by my Father who is in heaven.	19 واقول لكم ايضا ان اتفق اثنان منكم على الارض في اي شيء يطلبانه فانه يكون لهما من قبل ابي الذي في السموات.
20 For where there are two or three gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.	20 لانه حيثما اجتمع اثنان او ثلاثة باسمي فهناك اكون في وسطهم
21 Then came Peter unto him and said: Lord, how often shall my brother offend against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?	21 حينئذ تقدم اليه بطرس وقال يا رب كم مرة يخطئ اليّ اخي وانا اغفر له. هل الى سبع مرات.
22 Jesus saith to him: I say not to thee, till seven times; but till seventy times seven times.	22 قال له يسوع لا اقول لك الى سبع مرات بل الى سبعين مرة سبع مرات.
23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened to a king, who would take an account of his servants.	23 لذلك يشبه ملكوت السموات انسانا ملكا اراد ان يحاسب عبيده.
24 And when he had begun to take the account, one was brought to him, that owed him ten thousand talents.	24 فلما ابتدأ في المحاسبة قدم اليه واحد مديون بعشرة آلاف وزنة.
25 And as he had not wherewith to pay it, his lord commanded that he should be sold, and his wife and children and all that he had, and payment to be made.	25 واذ لم يكن له ما يوفي أمر سيده ان يباع هو وامرأته واولاده وكل ما له ويوفى الدين.
26 But that servant falling down, besought him, saying: Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.	26 فخر العبد وسجد له قائلا يا سيد تمهل عليّ فاوفيك الجميع.
27 And the lord of that servant being moved with pity, let him go and forgave him the debt.	27 فتحنن سيد ذلك العبد واطلقه وترك له الدين.
28 But when that servant was gone out, he found one of his fellow servants that owed him an hundred pence: and laying hold of him, throttled him, saying: Pay what thou owest.	28 ولما خرج ذلك العبد وجد واحدا من العبيد رفقائه كان مديونا له بمئة دينار. فامسكه واخذ بعنقه قائلا أوفني ما لي عليك.
29 And his fellow servant falling down, besought him, saying: Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.	29 فخرّ العبد رفيقه على قدميه وطلب اليه قائلا تمهل عليّ فاوفيك الجميع.
30 And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he paid the debt.	30 فلم يرد بل مضى والقاه في سجن حتى يوفي الدين.
31 Now his fellow servants seeing what was done, were very much grieved, and they came and told their lord all that was done.	31 فلما رأى العبيد رفقاؤه ما كان حزنوا جدا وأتوا وقصّوا على سيدهم كل ما جرى.
32 Then his lord called him; and said to him: Thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all the debt, because thou besoughtest me:	32 فدعاه حينئذ سيده وقال له. ايها العبد الشرير كل ذلك الدين تركته لك لانك طلبت اليّ.
33 Shouldst not thou then have had compassion also on thy fellow servant, even as I had compassion on thee?	33 أفما كان ينبغي انك انت ايضا ترحم العبد رفيقك كما رحمتك انا.
34 And his lord being angry, delivered him to the torturers until he paid all the debt.	34 وغضب سيده وسلمه الى المعذبين حتى يوفي كل ما كان له عليه.
35 So also shall my heavenly Father do to you, if you forgive not every one his brother from your hearts.	35 فهكذا ابي السماوي يفعل بكم ان لم تتركوا من قلوبكم كل واحد لاخيه زلاته
