Luke 7

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 When he had finished all his words to the people, he entered Capernaum.	1 ولما اكمل اقواله كلها في مسامع الشعب دخل كفرناحوم.
2 A centurion there had a slave who was ill and about to die, and he was valuable to him.	2 وكان عبد لقائد مئة مريضا مشرفا على الموت وكان عزيزا عنده.
3 When he heard about Jesus, he sent elders of the Jews to him, asking him to come and save the life of his slave.	3 فلما سمع عن يسوع ارسل اليه شيوخ اليهود يسأله ان يأتي ويشفي عبده.
4 They approached Jesus and strongly urged him to come, saying, "He deserves to have you do this for him,	4 فلما جاءوا الى يسوع طلبوا اليه باجتهاد قائلين انه مستحق ان يفعل له هذا.
5 for he loves our nation and he built the synagogue for us."	5 لانه يحب امتنا وهو بنى لنا المجمع.
6 And Jesus went with them, but when he was only a short distance from the house, the centurion sent friends to tell him, "Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy to have you enter under my roof.	6 فذهب يسوع معهم. واذ كان غير بعيد عن البيت ارسل اليه قائد المئة اصدقاء يقول له يا سيد لا تتعب. لاني لست مستحقا ان تدخل تحت سقفي.
7 Therefore, I did not consider myself worthy to come to you; but say the word and let my servant be healed.	7 لذلك لم احسب نفسي اهلا ان آتي اليك. لكن قل كلمة فيبرأ غلامي.
8 For I too am a person subject to authority, with soldiers subject to me. And I say to one, 'Go,' and he goes; and to another, 'Come here,' and he comes; and to my slave, 'Do this,' and he does it."	8 لاني انا ايضا انسان مرتّب تحت سلطان. لي جند تحت يدي. واقول لهذا اذهب فيذهب ولآخر ائت فيأتي ولعبدي افعل هذا فيفعل.
9 When Jesus heard this he was amazed at him and, turning, said to the crowd following him, "I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such faith."	9 ولما سمع يسوع هذا تعجب منه والتفت الى الجمع الذي يتبعه وقال اقول لكم لم اجد ولا في اسرائيل ايمانا بمقدار هذا.
10 When the messengers returned to the house, they found the slave in good health.	10 ورجع المرسلون الى البيت فوجدوا العبد المريض قد صحّ
11 Soon afterward he journeyed to a city called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd accompanied him.	11 وفي اليوم التالي ذهب الى مدينة تدعى نايين وذهب معه كثيرون من تلاميذه وجمع كثير.
12 As he drew near to the gate of the city, a man who had died was being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. A large crowd from the city was with her.	12 فلما اقترب الى باب المدينة اذا ميت محمول ابن وحيد لامّه وهي ارملة ومعها جمع كثير من المدينة.
13 When the Lord saw her, he was moved with pity for her and said to her, "Do not weep."	13 فلما رآها الرب تحنن عليها وقال لها لا تبكي.
14 He stepped forward and touched the coffin; at this the bearers halted, and he said, "Young man, I tell you, arise!"	14 ثم تقدم ولمس النعش فوقف الحاملون. فقال ايها الشاب لك اقول قم.
15 The dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus gave him to his mother.	15 فجلس الميت وابتدأ يتكلم فدفعه الى امه.
16 Fear seized them all, and they glorified God, exclaiming, "A great prophet has arisen in our midst," and "God has visited his people."	16 فاخذ الجميع خوف ومجدوا الله قائلين قد قام فينا نبي عظيم وافتقد الله شعبه.
17 This report about him spread through the whole of Judea and in all the surrounding region.	17 وخرج هذا الخبر عنه في كل اليهودية وفي جميع الكورة المحيطة
18 The disciples of John told him about all these things. John summoned two of his disciples	18 فاخبر يوحنا تلاميذه بهذا كله.
19 and sent them to the Lord to ask, "Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?"	19 فدعا يوحنا اثنين من تلاميذه وارسل الى يسوع قائلا انت هو الآتي ام ننتظر آخر.
20 When the men came to him, they said, "John the Baptist has sent us to you to ask, 'Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?'"	20 فلما جاء اليه الرجلان قالا يوحنا المعمدان قد ارسلنا اليك قائلا انت هو الآتي ام ننتظر آخر.
21 At that time he cured many of their diseases, sufferings, and evil spirits; he also granted sight to many who were blind.	21 وفي تلك الساعة شفى كثيرين من امراض وادواء وارواح شريرة ووهب البصر لعميان كثيرين.
22 And he said to them in reply, "Go and tell John what you have seen and heard: the blind regain their sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, the poor have the good news proclaimed to them.	22 فاجاب يسوع وقال لهما اذهبا واخبرا يوحنا بما رأيتما وسمعتما. ان العمي يبصرون والعرج يمشون والبرص يطهرون والصم يسمعون والموتى يقومون والمساكين يبشرون.
23 And blessed is the one who takes no offense at me."	23 وطوبى لمن لا يعثر فيّ
24 When the messengers of John had left, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John. "What did you go out to the desert to see--a reed swayed by the wind?	24 فلما مضى رسولا يوحنا ابتدأ يقول للجموع عن يوحنا. ماذا خرجتم الى البرية لتنظروا. أقصبة تحركها الريح.
25 Then what did you go out to see? Someone dressed in fine garments? Those who dress luxuriously and live sumptuously are found in royal palaces.	25 بل ماذا خرجتم لتنظروا أانسانا لابسا ثيابا ناعمة. هوذا الذين في اللباس الفاخر والتنعم هم في قصور الملوك.
26 Then what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.	26 بل ماذا خرجتم لتنظروا. أنبيا. نعم اقول لكم وافضل من نبي.
27 This is the one about whom scripture says: 'Behold, I am sending my messenger ahead of you, he will prepare your way before you.'	27 هذا هو الذي كتب عنه ها انا ارسل امام وجهك ملاكي الذي يهيئ طريقك قدامك.
28 I tell you, among those born of women, no one is greater than John; yet the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he."	28 لاني اقول لكم انه بين المولودين من النساء ليس نبي اعظم من يوحنا المعمدان. ولكن الاصغر في ملكوت الله اعظم منه.
29 (All the people who listened, including the tax collectors, and who were baptized with the baptism of John, acknowledged the righteousness of God;	29 وجميع الشعب اذ سمعوا والعشارين برروا الله معتمدين بمعمودية يوحنا.
30 but the Pharisees and scholars of the law, who were not baptized by him, rejected the plan of God for themselves.)	30 واما الفريسيون والناموسيون فرفضوا مشورة الله من جهة انفسهم غير معتمدين منه
31 "Then to what shall I compare the people of this generation? What are they like?	31 ثم قال الرب فبمن اشبه اناس هذا الجيل وماذا يشبهون.
32 They are like children who sit in the marketplace and call to one another, 'We played the flute for you, but you did not dance. We sang a dirge, but you did not weep.'	32 يشبهون اولادا جالسين في السوق ينادون بعضهم بعضا ويقولون زمرنا لكم فلم ترقصوا. نحنا لكم فلم تبكوا.
33 For John the Baptist came neither eating food nor drinking wine, and you said, 'He is possessed by a demon.'	33 لانه جاء يوحنا المعمدان لا يأكل خبزا ولا يشرب خمرا فتقولون به شيطان.
34 The Son of Man came eating and drinking and you said, 'Look, he is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.'	34 جاء ابن الانسان يأكل ويشرب فتقولون هوذا انسان اكول وشريب خمر. محب للعشارين والخطاة.
35 But wisdom is vindicated by all her children."	35 والحكمة تبررت من جميع بنيها
36 A Pharisee invited him to dine with him, and he entered the Pharisee's house and reclined at table.	36 وسأله واحد من الفريسيين ان يأكل معه فدخل بيت الفريسي واتكأ.
37 Now there was a sinful woman in the city who learned that he was at table in the house of the Pharisee. Bringing an alabaster flask of ointment,	37 واذا امرأة في المدينة كانت خاطئة اذ علمت انه متكئ في بيت الفريسي جاءت بقارورة طيب
38 she stood behind him at his feet weeping and began to bathe his feet with her tears. Then she wiped them with her hair, kissed them, and anointed them with the ointment.	38 ووقفت عند قدميه من ورائه باكية وابتدأت تبل قدميه بالدموع وكانت تمسحهما بشعر راسها وتقبل قدميه وتدهنهما بالطيب.
39 When the Pharisee who had invited him saw this he said to himself, "If this man were a prophet, he would know who and what sort of woman this is who is touching him, that she is a sinner."	39 فلما رأى الفريسي الذي دعاه ذلك تكلم في نفسه قائلا لو كان هذا نبيا لعلم من هذه المرأة التي تلمسه وما هي. انها خاطئة.
40 Jesus said to him in reply, "Simon, I have something to say to you." "Tell me, teacher," he said.	40 فاجاب يسوع وقال له يا سمعان عندي شيء اقوله لك. فقال قل يا معلّم.
41 "Two people were in debt to a certain creditor; one owed five hundred days' wages and the other owed fifty.	41 كان لمداين مديونان. على الواحد خمس مئة دينار وعلى الآخر خمسون.
42 Since they were unable to repay the debt, he forgave it for both. Which of them will love him more?"	42 واذ لم يكن لهما ما يوفيان سامحهما جميعا. فقل. ايهما يكون اكثر حبا له.
43 Simon said in reply, "The one, I suppose, whose larger debt was forgiven." He said to him, "You have judged rightly."	43 فاجاب سمعان وقال اظن الذي سامحه بالاكثر. فقال له بالصواب حكمت.
44 Then he turned to the woman and said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? When I entered your house, you did not give me water for my feet, but she has bathed them with her tears and wiped them with her hair.	44 ثم التفت الى المرأة وقال لسمعان أتنظر هذه المرأة. اني دخلت بيتك وماء لاجل رجلي لم تعط. واما هي فقد غسلت رجليّ بالدموع ومسحتهما بشعر راسها.
45 You did not give me a kiss, but she has not ceased kissing my feet since the time I entered.	45 قبلة لم تقبّلني. واما هي فمنذ دخلت لم تكف عن تقبيل رجليّ.
46 You did not anoint my head with oil, but she anointed my feet with ointment.	46 بزيت لم تدهن راسي. واما هي فقد دهنت بالطيب رجليّ.
47 So I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven; hence, she has shown great love. But the one to whom little is forgiven, loves little."	47 من اجل ذلك اقول لك قد غفرت خطاياها الكثيرة لانها احبت كثيرا. والذي يغفر له قليل يحب قليلا.
48 He said to her, "Your sins are forgiven."	48 ثم قال لها مغفورة لك خطاياك.
49 The others at table said to themselves, "Who is this who even forgives sins?"	49 فابتدأ المتكئون معه يقولون في انفسهم من هذا الذي يغفر خطايا ايضا.
50 But he said to the woman, "Your faith has saved you; go in peace."	50 فقال للمرأة ايمانك قد خلّصك. اذهبي بسلام
