Vangelo secondo Luca (لوقا) 14

SMITH VAN DYKE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 واذ جاء الى بيت احد رؤساء الفريسيين في السبت ليأكل خبزا كانوا يراقبونه.	1 And it came to pass, when Jesus went into the house of one of the chief of the Pharisees, on the sabbath day, to eat bread, that they watched him.
2 واذا انسان مستسق كان قدامه.	2 And behold, there was a certain man before him that had the dropsy.
3 فاجاب يسوع وكلم الناموسيين والفريسيين قائلا هل يحل الابراء في السبت.	3 And Jesus answering, spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying: Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?
4 فسكتوا. فامسكه وابرأه واطلقه.	4 But they held their peace. But he taking him, healed him, and sent him away.
5 ثم اجابهم وقال من منكم يسقط حماره او ثوره في بئر ولا ينشله حالا في يوم السبت.	5 And answering them, he said: Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fall into a pit, and will not immediately draw him out, on the sabbath day?
6 فلم يقدروا ان يجيبوه عن ذلك	6 And they could not answer him to these things.
7 وقال للمدعوين مثلا وهو يلاحظ كيف اختاروا المتكآت الاولى قائلا لهم	7 And he spoke a parable also to them that were invited, marking how they chose the first seats at the table, saying to them:
8 متى دعيت من احد الى عرس فلا تتكئ في المتكإ الاول لعل اكرم منك يكون قد دعي منه.	8 When thou art invited to a wedding, sit not down in the first place, lest perhaps one more honourable than thou be invited by him:
9 فيأتي الذي دعاك واياه ويقول لك اعطي مكانا لهذا. فحينئذ تبتدئ بخجل تأخذ الموضع الاخير.	9 And he that invited thee and him, come and say to thee, Give this man place: and then thou begin with shame to take the lowest place.
10 بل 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.	10 But when thou art invited, go, sit down in the lowest place; that when he who invited thee, cometh, he may say to thee: Friend, go up higher. Then shalt thou have glory before them that sit at table with thee.
11 لان كل من يرفع نفسه يتضع ومن يضع نفسه يرتفع	11 Because every one that exalteth himself, shall be humbled; and he that humbleth himself, shall be exalted.
12 وقال 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.	12 And he said to him also that had invited him: When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, nor thy kinsmen, nor thy neighbours who are rich; lest perhaps they also invite thee again, and a recompense be made to thee.
13 بل اذا صنعت ضيافة فادع المساكين الجدع العرج العمي.	13 But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, and the blind;
14 فيكون لك الطوبى اذ ليس لهم حتى يكافوك. لانك تكافى في قيامة الابرار	14 And thou shalt be blessed, because they have not wherewith to make thee recompense: for recompense shall be made thee at the resurrection of the just.
15 فلما سمع ذلك واحد من المتكئين قال له طوبى لمن يأكل خبزا في ملكوت الله.	15 When one of them that sat at table with him, had heard these things, he said to him: Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.
16 فقال له. انسان صنع عشاء عظيما ودعا كثيرين.	16 But he said to him: A certain man made a great supper, and invited many.
17 وارسل عبده في ساعة العشاء ليقول للمدعوين تعالوا لان كل شيء قد أعد.	17 And he sent his servant at the hour of supper to say to them that were invited, that they should come, for now all things are ready.
18 فابتدأ الجميع برأي واحد يستعفون. قال له الاول اني اشتريت حقلا وانا مضطر ان اخرج وانظره. اسألك ان تعفيني.	18 And they began all at once to make excuse. The first said to him: I have bought a farm, and I must needs go out and see it: I pray thee, hold me excused.
19 وقال آخر اني اشتريت خمسة ازواج بقر وانا ماض لامتحنها. اسألك ان تعفيني.	19 And another said: I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to try them: I pray thee, hold me excused.
20 وقال آخر اني تزوجت بامرأة فلذلك لا اقدر ان اجيء.	20 And another said: I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.
21 فأتى ذلك العبد واخبر سيده بذلك. حينئذ غضب رب البيت وقال لعبده اخرج عاجلا الى شوارع المدينة وازقتها وادخل الى هنا المساكين والجدع والعرج والعمي.	21 And the servant returning, told these things to his lord. 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 the feeble, and the blind, and the lame.
22 فقال العبد يا سيد قد صار كما امرت ويوجد ايضا مكان.	22 And the servant said: Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room.
23 فقال السيد للعبد اخرج الى الطرق والسياجات والزمهم بالدخول حتى يمتلئ بيتي.	23 And the Lord said to the servant: Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.
24 لاني اقول لكم انه ليس واحد من اولئك الرجال المدعوين يذوق عشائي	24 But I say unto you, that none of those men that were invited, shall taste of my supper.
25 وكان جموع كثيرة سائرين معه فالتفت وقال لهم	25 And there went great multitudes with him. And turning, he said to them:
26 ان كان احد يأتي اليّ ولا يبغض اباه وامه وامرأته واولاده واخوته واخواته حتى نفسه ايضا فلا يقدر ان يكون لي تلميذا.	26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
27 ومن لا يحمل صليبه ويأتي ورائي فلا يقدر ان يكون لي تلميذا.	27 And whosoever doth not carry his cross and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
28 ومن منكم وهو يريد ان يبني برجا لا يجلس اولا ويحسب النفقة هل عنده ما يلزم لكماله.	28 For which of you having a mind to build a tower, doth not first sit down, and reckon the charges that are necessary, whether he have wherewithal to finish it:
29 لئلا يضع الاساس ولا يقدر ان يكمل فيبتدئ جميع الناظرين يهزأون به.	29 Lest, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able ti finish it, all that see it begin to mock him,
30 قائلين هذا الانسان ابتدأ يبني ولم يقدر ان يكمل.	30 Saying: This man began to build, and was not able to finish.
31 واي ملك ان ذهب لمقاتلة ملك آخر في حرب لا يجلس اولا ويتشاور هل يستطيع ان يلاقي بعشرة آلاف الذي يأتي عليه بعشرين الفا.	31 Or what king, about to go to make war against another king, doth not first sit down, and think whether he be able, with ten thousand, to meet him that, with twenty thousand, cometh against him?
32 وإلا فما دام ذلك بعيدا يرسل سفارة ويسأل ما هو للصلح.	32 Or else, whilst the other is yet afar off, sending an embassy, he desireth conditions of peace.
33 فكذلك كل واحد منكم لا يترك جميع امواله لا يقدر ان يكون لي تلميذا.	33 So likewise every one of you that doth not renounce all that he possesseth, cannot be my disciple.
34 الملح جيد. ولكن اذا فسد الملح فبماذا يصلح.	34 Salt is good. But if the salt shall lose its savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned?
35 لا يصلح لارض ولا لمزبلة فيطرحونه خارجا. من له اذنان للسمع فليسمع	35 It is neither profitable for the land nor for the dunghill, but shall be cast out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
