Luke 20

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 And it happened that, on one of the days when he was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the Gospel, the leaders of the priests, and the scribes, gathered together with the elders,	1 وفي احدى تلك الايام اذ كان يعلّم الشعب في الهيكل ويبشر وقف رؤساء الكهنة والكتبة مع الشيوخ
2 and they spoke to him, saying: “Tell us, by what authority do you do these things? Or, who is it that has given you this authority?”	2 وكلموه قائلين قل لنا باي سلطان تفعل هذا. او من هو الذي اعطاك هذا السلطان.
3 And in response, Jesus said to them: “I will also question you about one word. Respond to me:	3 فاجاب وقال لهم وانا ايضا اسألكم كلمة واحدة فقولوا لي.
4 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?”	4 معمودية يوحنا من السماء كانت ام من الناس.
5 So they discussed it among themselves, saying: “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Then why did you not believe him?’	5 فتآمروا فيما بينهم قائلين ان قلنا من السماء يقول فلماذا لم تؤمنوا به.
6 But if we say, ‘Of men,’ the whole people will stone us. For they are certain that John was a prophet.”	6 وان قلنا من الناس فجميع الشعب يرجموننا لانهم واثقون بان يوحنا نبي.
7 And so they responded that they did not know where it was from.	7 فاجابوا انهم لا يعلمون من اين.
8 And Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”	8 فقال لهم يسوع ولا انا اقول لكم باي سلطان افعل هذا
9 Then he began to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard, and he loaned it to settlers, and he was on a sojourn for a long time.	9 وابتدأ يقول للشعب هذا المثل. انسان غرس كرما وسلمه الى كرامين وسافر زمانا طويلا.
10 And in due time, he sent a servant to the farmers, so that they would give to him from the fruit of the vineyard. And they beat him and drove him away, empty-handed.	10 وفي الوقت ارسل الى الكرامين عبدا لكي يعطوه من ثمر الكرم. فجلده الكرامون وارسلوه فارغا.
11 And he continued to send another servant. But beating him and treating him with contempt, they likewise sent him away, empty-handed.	11 فعاد وارسل عبدا آخر. فجلدوا ذلك ايضا واهانوه وارسلوه فارغا.
12 And he continued to send a third. And wounding him also, they drove him away.	12 ثم عاد فارسل ثالثا. فجرحوا هذا ايضا واخرجوه.
13 Then the lord of the vineyard said: ‘What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. Perhaps when they have seen him, they will respect him.’	13 فقال صاحب الكرم ماذا افعل. أرسل ابني الحبيب. لعلهم اذا رأوه يهابون.
14 And when the settlers had seen him, they discussed it among themselves, saying: ‘This one is the heir. Let us kill him, so that the inheritance will be ours.’	14 فلما رآه الكرامون تآمروا فيما بينهم قائلين هذا هو الوارث. هلموا نقتله لكي يصير لنا الميراث.
15 And forcing him outside of the vineyard, they killed him. What, then, will the lord of the vineyard do to them?”	15 فاخرجوه خارج الكرم وقتلوه. فماذا يفعل بهم صاحب الكرم.
16 “He will come and destroy those settlers, and he will give the vineyard to others.” And upon hearing this, they said to him, “Let it not be.”	16 يأتي ويهلك هؤلاء الكرامين ويعطي الكرم لآخرين. فلما سمعوا قالوا حاشا.
17 Then, gazing at them, he said: “Then what does this mean, which is written: ‘The stone which the builders have rejected, the same has become the head of the corner?’	17 فنظر اليهم وقال اذا ما هو هذا المكتوب الحجر الذي رفضه البناؤون هو قد صار راس الزاوية.
18 Everyone who falls on that stone will be shattered. And anyone upon whom it falls will be crushed.”	18 كل من يسقط على ذلك الحجر يترضض. ومن سقط هو عليه يسحقه.
19 And the leaders of the priests, and the scribes, were seeking to lay hands on him in that same hour, but they feared the people. For they realized that he had spoken this parable about them.	19 فطلب رؤساء الكهنة والكتبة ان يلقوا الايادي عليه في تلك الساعة ولكنهم خافوا الشعب. لانهم عرفوا انه قال هذا المثل عليهم
20 And being attentive, they sent traitors, who would pretend that they were just, so that they might catch him in his words and then hand him over to the power and authority of the procurator.	20 فراقبوه وارسلوا جواسيس يتراءون انهم ابرار لكي يمسكوه بكلمة حتى يسلموه الى حكم الوالي وسلطانه.
21 And they questioned him, saying: “Teacher, we know that you speak and teach correctly, and that you do not consider anyone’s status, but you teach the way of God in truth.	21 فسألوه قائلين يا معلّم نعلم انك بالاستقامة تتكلم وتعلّم ولا تقبل الوجوه بل بالحق تعلّم طريق الله.
22 Is it lawful for us to pay the tribute to Caesar, or not?”	22 أيجوز لنا ان نعطي جزية لقيصر ام لا.
23 But realizing their deceitfulness, he said to them: “Why do you test me?	23 فشعر بمكرهم وقال لهم لماذا تجربونني.
24 Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription does it have?” In response, they said to him, “Caesar’s.”	24 أروني دينارا. لمن الصورة والكتابة. فاجابوا وقالوا لقيصر.
25 And so, he said to them: “Then repay the things that are Caesar’s, to Caesar, and the things that are God’s, to God.”	25 فقال لهم اعطوا اذا ما لقيصر لقيصر وما للّه للّه.
26 And they were not able to contradict his word before the people. And being amazed at his answer, they were silent.	26 فلم يقدروا ان يمسكوه بكلمة قدام الشعب. وتعجبوا من جوابه وسكتوا
27 Now some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is a resurrection, approached him. And they questioned him,	27 وحضر قوم من الصدوقيين الذين يقاومون امر القيامة وسألوه
28 saying: “Teacher, Moses wrote for us: If any man’s brother will have died, having a wife, and if he does not have any children, then his brother should take her as his wife, and he should raise up offspring for his brother.	28 قائلين يا معلّم كتب لنا موسى ان مات لاحد اخ وله امرأة ومات بغير ولد يأخذ اخوه المرأة ويقيم نسلا لاخيه.
29 And so there were seven brothers. And the first took a wife, and he died without sons.	29 فكان سبعة اخوة. واخذ الاول امرأة ومات بغير ولد.
30 And the next one married her, and he also died without a son.	30 فأخذ الثاني المرأة ومات بغير ولد.
31 And the third married her, and similarly all seven, and none of them left behind any offspring, and they each died.	31 ثم اخذها الثالث وهكذا السبعة. ولم يتركوا ولدا وماتوا.
32 Last of all, the woman also died.	32 وآخر الكل ماتت المرأة ايضا.
33 In the resurrection, then, whose wife will she be? For certainly all seven had her as a wife.”	33 ففي القيامة لمن منهم تكون زوجة. لانها كانت زوجة للسبعة.
34 And so, Jesus said to them: “The children of this age marry and are given in marriage.	34 فاجاب وقال لهم يسوع ابناء هذا الدهر يزوجون ويزوجون.
35 Yet truly, those who shall be held worthy of that age, and of the resurrection from the dead, will neither be married, nor take wives.	35 ولكن الذين حسبوا اهلا للحصول على ذلك الدهر والقيامة من الاموات لا يزوجون ولا يزوجون.
36 For they can no longer die. For they are equal to the Angels, and they are children of God, since they are children of the resurrection.	36 اذ لا يستطيعون ان يموتوا ايضا لانهم مثل الملائكة وهم ابناء الله اذ هم ابناء القيامة.
37 For in truth, the dead do rise again, as Moses also showed beside the bush, when he called the Lord: ‘The God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’	37 واما ان الموتى يقومون فقد دل عليه موسى ايضا في امر العليقة كما يقول. الرب اله ابراهيم واله اسحق واله يعقوب.
38 And so he is not the God of the dead, but of the living. For all are alive to him.”	38 وليس هو اله اموات بل اله احياء لان الجميع عنده احياء.
39 Then some of the scribes, in response, said to him, “Teacher, you have spoken well.”	39 فاجاب قوما من الكتبة وقالوا يا معلّم حسنا قلت.
40 And they no longer dared to question him about anything.	40 ولم يتجاسروا ايضا ان يسألوه عن شيء
41 But he said to them: “How can they say that the Christ is the son of David?	41 وقال لهم كيف يقولون ان المسيح ابن داود.
42 Even David himself says, in the book of Psalms: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, sit at my right hand,	42 وداود نفسه يقول في كتاب المزامير قال الرب لربي اجلس عن يميني
43 until I set your enemies as your footstool.’	43 حتى اضع اعداءك موطئا لقدميك.
44 Therefore, David calls him Lord. So how can he be his son?”	44 فاذا داود يدعوه ربا فكيف يكون ابنه
45 Now in the hearing of all the people, he said to his disciples:	45 وفيما كان جميع الشعب يسمعون قال لتلاميذه
46 “Be cautious of the scribes, who choose to walk in long robes, and who love greetings in the marketplace, and the first chairs in the synagogues, and the first places at table during feasts,	46 احذروا من الكتبة الذين يرغبون المشي بالطيالسة ويحبون التحيات في الاسواق والمجالس الاولى في المجامع والمتكآت الأولى في الولائم.
47 who devour the houses of widows, feigning long prayers. These will receive the greater damnation.”	47 الذين يأكلون بيوت الارامل ولعلة يطيلون الصلوات. هؤلاء يأخذون دينونة اعظم
