Luke 12

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 Then, as great crowds were standing so close that they were stepping on one another, he began to say to his disciples: “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.	1 وفي اثناء ذلك اذ اجتمع ربوات الشعب حتى كان بعضهم يدوس بعضا ابتدأ يقول لتلاميذه اولا تحرزوا لانفسكم من خمير الفريسيين الذي هو الرياء.
2 For there is nothing covered, which will not be revealed, nor anything hidden, which will not be known.	2 فليس مكتوم لن يستعلن ولا خفي لن يعرف.
3 For the things that you have spoken in darkness will be declared in the light. And what you have said in the ear in bedrooms will be proclaimed from the housetops.	3 لذلك كل ما قلتموه في الظلمة يسمع في النور وما كلمتم به الاذن في المخادع ينادى به على السطوح.
4 So I say to you, my friends: Do not be fearful of those who kill the body, and afterwards have no more that they can do.	4 ولكن اقول لكم يا احبائي لا تخافوا من الذين يقتلون الجسد وبعد ذلك ليس لهم ما يفعلون اكثر.
5 But I will reveal to you whom you should fear. Fear him who, after he will have killed, has the power to cast into Hell. So I say to you: Fear him.	5 بل اريكم ممن تخافون. خافوا من الذي بعدما يقتل له سلطان ان يلقي في جهنم. نعم اقول لكم من هذا خافوا.
6 Are not five sparrows sold for two small coins? And yet not one of these is forgotten in the sight of God.	6 أليست خمسة عصافير تباع بفلسين. وواحد منها ليس منسيا امام الله.
7 But even the very hairs of your head have all been numbered. Therefore, do not be afraid. You are worth more than many sparrows.	7 بل شعور رؤوسكم ايضا جميعها محصاة. فلا تخافوا انتم افضل من عصافير كثيرة.
8 But I say to you: Everyone who will have confessed me before men, the Son of man will also confess him before the Angels of God.	8 واقول لكم كل من اعترف بي قدام الناس يعترف به ابن الانسان قدام ملائكة الله.
9 But everyone who will have denied me before men, he will be denied before the Angels of God.	9 ومن انكرني قدام الناس ينكر قدام ملائكة الله.
10 And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of man, it will be forgiven of him. But of him who will have blasphemed against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven.	10 وكل من قال كلمة على ابن الانسان يغفر له. واما من جدف على الروح القدس فلا يغفر له.
11 And when they will lead you to the synagogues, and to magistrates and authorities, do not choose to be worried about how or what you will answer, or about what you might say.	11 ومتى قدموكم الى المجامع والرؤساء والسلاطين فلا تهتموا كيف او بما تحتجّون او بما تقولون.
12 For the Holy Spirit will teach you, in the same hour, what you must say.”	12 لان الروح القدس يعلّمكم في تلك الساعة ما يجب ان تقولوه
13 And someone from the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to share the inheritance with me.”	13 وقال له واحد من الجمع يا معلّم قل لاخي ان يقاسمني الميراث.
14 But he said to him, “Man, who has appointed me as judge or arbitrator over you?”	14 فقال له يا انسان من اقامني عليكما قاضيا او مقسّما.
15 So he said to them: “Be cautious and wary of all avarice. For a person’s life is not found in the abundance of the things that he possesses.”	15 وقال لهم انظروا وتحفّظوا من الطمع. فانه متى كان لاحد كثير فليست حياته من امواله.
16 Then he spoke to them using a comparison, saying: “The fertile land of a certain wealthy man produced crops.	16 وضرب لهم مثلا قائلا. انسان غني اخصبت كورته.
17 And he thought within himself, saying: ‘What should I do? For I have nowhere to gather together my crops.’	17 ففكر في نفسه قائلا ماذا اعمل لان ليس لي موضع اجمع فيه اثماري.
18 And he said: ‘This is what I will do. I will tear down my barns and build larger ones. And into these, I will gather all the things that have been grown for me, as well as my goods.	18 وقال اعمل هذا. اهدم مخازني وابني اعظم واجمع هناك جميع غلاتي وخيراتي.
19 And I will say to my soul: Soul, you have many goods, stored up for many years. Relax, eat, drink, and be cheerful.’	19 واقول لنفسي يا نفس لك خيرات كثيرة موضوعة لسنين كثيرة. استريحي وكلي واشربي وافرحي.
20 But God said to him: ‘Foolish one, this very night they require your soul of you. To whom, then, will those things belong, which you have prepared?’	20 فقال له الله يا غبي هذه الليلة تطلب نفسك منك. فهذه التي اعددتها لمن تكون.
21 So it is with him who stores up for himself, and is not wealthy with God.”	21 هكذا الذي يكنز لنفسه وليس هو غنيا للّه
22 And he said to his disciples: “And so I say to you: Do not choose to be anxious about your life, as to what you may eat, nor about your body, as to what you will wear.	22 وقال 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.	23 الحياة افضل من الطعام والجسد افضل من اللباس.
24 Consider the ravens. For they neither sow nor reap; there is no storehouse or barn for them. And yet God pastures them. How much more are you, compared to them?	24 تأملوا الغربان. انها لا تزرع ولا تحصد وليس لها مخدع ولا مخزن والله يقيتها. كم انتم بالحري افضل من الطيور.
25 But which of you, by thinking, is able to add one cubit to his stature?	25 ومن منكم اذا اهتم يقدر ان يزيد على قامته ذراعا واحدة.
26 Therefore, if you are not capable, in what is so little, why be anxious about the rest?	26 فان كنتم لا تقدرون ولا على الاصغر فلماذا تهتمون بالبواقي.
27 Consider the lilies, how they grow. They neither work nor weave. But I say to you, not even Solomon, in all his glory, was clothed like one of these.	27 تأملوا الزنابق كيف تنمو. لا تتعب ولا تغزل. ولكن اقول لكم انه ولا سليمان في كل مجده كان يلبس كواحدة منها.
28 Therefore, if God so clothes the grass, which is in the field today and thrown into the furnace tomorrow, how much more you, O little in faith?	28 فان كان العشب الذي يوجد اليوم في الحقل ويطرح غدا في التنور يلبسه الله هكذا فكم بالحري يلبسكم انتم يا قليلي الايمان.
29 And so, do not choose to inquire as to what you will eat, or what you will drink. And do not choose to be lifted up on high.	29 فلا تطلبوا انتم ما تأكلون وما تشربون ولا تقلقوا.
30 For all these things are sought by the Gentiles of the world. And your Father knows that you have need of these things.	30 فان هذه كلها تطلبها امم العالم. واما انتم فابوكم يعلم انكم تحتاجون الى هذه.
31 Yet truly, seek first the kingdom of God, and his justice, and all these things shall be added to you.	31 بل اطلبوا ملكوت الله وهذه كلها تزاد لكم
32 Do not be afraid, little flock; for it has pleased your Father to give you the kingdom.	32 لا تخف ايها القطيع الصغير لان اباكم قد سرّ ان يعطيكم الملكوت.
33 Sell what you possess, and give alms. Make for yourselves purses that will not wear out, a treasure that will not fall short, in heaven, where no thief approaches, and no moth corrupts.	33 بيعوا 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.	34 لانه حيث يكون كنزكم هناك يكون قلبكم ايضا.
35 Let your waists be girded, and let lamps be burning in your hands.	35 لتكن احقاؤكم ممنطقة وسرجكم موقدة.
36 And let you yourselves be like men awaiting their lord, when he will return from the wedding; so that, when he arrives and knocks, they may open to him promptly.	36 وانتم مثل اناس ينتظرون سيدهم متى يرجع من العرس حتى اذا جاء وقرع يفتحون له للوقت.
37 Blessed are those servants whom the Lord, when he returns, will find being vigilant. Amen I say to you, that he will gird himself and have them sit down to eat, while he, continuing on, will minister to them.	37 طوبى لاولئك العبيد الذين اذا جاء سيدهم يجدهم ساهرين. الحق اقول لكم انه يتمنطق ويتكئهم ويتقدم ويخدمهم.
38 And if he will return in the second watch, or if in the third watch, and if he will find them to be so: then blessed are those servants.	38 وان أتى في الهزيع الثاني او أتى في الهزيع الثالث ووجدهم هكذا فطوبى لاولئك العبيد.
39 But know this: that if the father of the family knew at what hour the thief would arrive, he would certainly stand watch, and he would not permit his house to be broken into.	39 وانما اعلموا هذا انه لو عرف رب البيت في اي ساعة يأتي السارق لسهر ولم يدع بيته ينقب.
40 You also must be prepared. For the Son of man will return at an hour that you will not realize.”	40 فكونوا انتم اذا مستعدين لانه في ساعة لا تظنون يأتي ابن الانسان
41 Then Peter said to him, “Lord, are you telling this parable to us, or also to everyone?”	41 فقال له بطرس يا رب ألنا تقول هذا المثل ام للجميع ايضا.
42 So the Lord said: “Who do you think is the faithful and prudent steward, whom his Lord has appointed over his family, in order to give them their measure of wheat in due time?	42 فقال الرب فمن هو الوكيل الامين الحكيم الذي يقيمه سيده على خدمه ليعطيهم العلوفة في حينها.
43 Blessed is that servant if, when his Lord will return, he will find him acting in this manner.	43 طوبى لذلك العبد الذي اذا جاء سيده يجده يفعل هكذا.
44 Truly I say to you, that he will appoint him over all that he possesses.	44 بالحق اقول لكم انه يقيمه على جميع امواله.
45 But if that servant will have said in his heart, ‘My Lord has made a delay in his return,’ and if he has begun to strike the men and women servants, and to eat and drink, and to be inebriated,	45 ولكن ان قال ذلك العبد في قلبه سيدي يبطئ قدومه. فيبتدئ يضرب الغلمان والجواري ويأكل ويشرب ويسكر.
46 then the Lord of that servant will return on a day which he hoped not, and at an hour which he knew not. And he will separate him, and he will place his portion with that of the unfaithful.	46 يأتي سيد ذلك العبد في يوم لا ينتظره وفي ساعة لا يعرفها فيقطعه ويجعل نصيبه مع الخائنين.
47 And that servant, who knew the will of his Lord, and who did not prepare and did not act according to his will, will be beaten many times over.	47 واما ذلك العبد الذي يعلم ارادة سيده ولا يستعد ولا يفعل بحسب ارادته فيضرب كثيرا.
48 Yet he who did not know, and who acted in a way that deserves a beating, will be beaten fewer times. So then, of all to whom much has been given, much will be required. And of those to whom much has been entrusted, even more will be asked.	48 ولكن الذي لا يعلم ويفعل ما يستحق ضربات يضرب قليلا. فكل من أعطي كثيرا يطلب منه كثير ومن يودعونه كثيرا يطالبونه باكثر
49 I have come to cast a fire upon the earth. And what should I desire, except that it may be kindled?	49 جئت لألقي نارا على الارض. فماذا اريد لو اضطرمت.
50 And I have a baptism, with which I am to be baptized. And how I am constrained, even until it may be accomplished!	50 ولي صبغة اصطبغها وكيف انحصر حتى تكمل.
51 Do you think that I have come to give peace to the earth? No, I tell you, but division.	51 أتظنون اني جئت لاعطي سلاما على الارض. كلا اقول لكم. بل انقساما.
52 For from this time on, there will be five in one house: divided as three against two, and as two against three.	52 لانه يكون من الآن خمسة في بيت واحد منقسمين ثلثة على اثنين واثنان على ثلثة.
53 A father will be divided against a son, and a son against his father; a mother against a daughter and a daughter against a mother; a mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.”	53 ينقسم الاب على الابن والابن على الاب. والام على البنت والبنت على الام. والحماة على كنتها والكنة على حماتها
54 And he also said to the crowds: “When you see a cloud rising from the setting of the sun, immediately you say, ‘A rain cloud is coming.’ And so it does.	54 ثم قال ايضا للجموع. اذا رأيتم السحاب تطلع من المغارب فللوقت تقولون انه يأتي مطر. فيكون هكذا.
55 And when a south wind is blowing, you say, ‘It will be hot.’ And so it is.	55 واذا رأيتم ريح الجنوب تهب تقولون انه سيكون حر. فيكون.
56 You hypocrites! You discern the face of the heavens, and of the earth, yet how is it that you do not discern this time?	56 يا مراؤون تعرفون ان تميّزوا وجه الارض والسماء واما هذا الزمان فكيف لا تميّزونه.
57 And why do you not, even among yourselves, judge what is just?	57 ولماذا لا تحكمون بالحق من قبل نفوسكم.
58 So, when you are going with your adversary to the ruler, while you are on the way, make an effort to be freed from him, lest perhaps he may lead you to the judge, and the judge may deliver you to the officer, and the officer may cast you into prison.	58 حينما 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 not depart from there, until you have paid the very last coin.”	59 اقول لك لا تخرج من هناك حتى توفي الفلس الاخير
