NAV
وَضَرَبَ لَهُمْ مَثَلاً فِي وُجُوبِ الصَّلاةِ دَائِماً وَدُونَ مَلَلٍ،
BSB
BSB:
Then Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray at all times and not lose heart:
2
NAV
قَالَ: «كَانَ فِي مَدِينَةٍ قَاضٍ لَا يَخَافُ اللهَ وَلا يَحْتَرِمُ إِنْسَاناً.
BSB
BSB:
“In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected men.
3
NAV
وَكَانَ فِي تِلْكَ الْمَدِينَةِ أَرْمَلَةٌ كَانَتْ تَأْتِي إِلَيْهِ قَائِلَةً: أَنْصِفْنِي مِنْ خَصْمِي!
BSB
BSB:
And there was a widow in that town who kept appealing to him, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’
4
NAV
فَظَلَّ يَرْفُضُ طَلَبَهَا مُدَّةً مِنَ الزَّمَنِ. وَلكِنَّهُ بَعْدَ ذلِكَ قَالَ فِي نَفْسِهِ: حَتَّى لَوْ كُنْتُ لَا أَخَافُ اللهَ وَلا أَحْتَرِمُ إِنْسَاناً،
BSB
BSB:
For a while he refused, but later he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect men,
5
NAV
فَمَهْمَا يَكُنْ، فَلأَنَّ هذِهِ الأَرْمَلَةَ تُزْعِجُنِي سَأُنْصِفُهَا، لِئَلّا تَأْتِيَ دَائِماً فَتُصَدِّعَ رَأْسِي!»
BSB
BSB:
yet because this widow keeps pestering me, I will give her justice. Otherwise, she will wear me out with her perpetual requests.’”
6
NAV
وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ: «اسْمَعُوا مَا يَقُولُهُ الْقَاضِي الظَّالِمُ.
BSB
BSB:
And the Lord said,
“Listen to the words of the unjust judge.
7
NAV
أَفَلا يُنْصِفُ اللهُ مُخْتَارِيهِ الَّذِينَ يَصْرُخُونَ إِلَيْهِ نَهَاراً وَلَيْلاً؟ أَمَا يُسْرِعُ فِي الاسْتِجَابَةِ لَهُمْ؟
BSB
BSB:
Will not God bring about justice for His elect who cry out to Him day and night? Will He delay in helping them?
8
NAV
أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّهُ يُنْصِفُهُمْ سَرِيعاً. وَلكِنْ، عِنْدَمَا يَعُودُ ابْنُ الإِنْسَانِ، أَيَجِدُ إِيمَاناً عَلَى الأَرْضِ؟»
BSB
BSB:
I tell you, He will promptly carry out justice on their behalf. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on earth?”
9
NAV
وَضَرَبَ أَيْضاً هَذَا الْمَثَلَ لأُنَاسٍ يَثِقُونَ فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ بِأَنَّهُمْ أَبْرَارٌ وَيَحْتَقِرُونَ الآخَرِينَ:
BSB
BSB:
To some who trusted in their own righteousness and viewed others with contempt, He also told this parable:
10
NAV
«صَعِدَ إِنْسَانَانِ إِلَى الْهَيْكَلِ لِيُصَلِّيَا، أَحَدُهُمَا فَرِّيسِيٌّ وَالآخَرُ جَابِي ضَرَائِبَ.
BSB
BSB:
“Two men went up to the temple to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
11
NAV
فَوَقَفَ الْفَرِّيسِيُّ يُصَلِّي فِي نَفْسِهِ هكَذَا: أَشْكُرُكَ، يَا اللهُ، لأَنِّي لَسْتُ مِثْلَ بَاقِي النَّاسِ الطَّمَّاعِينَ الظَّالِمِينَ الزُّنَاةِ، وَلا مِثْلَ جَابِي الضَّرَائِبِ هَذَا:
BSB
BSB:
The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed, ‘God, I thank You that I am not like other men—swindlers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector.
12
NAV
أَصُومُ مَرَّتَيْنِ فِي الأُسْبُوعِ، وَأُقَدِّمُ عُشْرَ كُلِّ مَا أَجْنِيهِ!
BSB
BSB:
I fast twice a week and pay tithes of all that I acquire.’
13
NAV
وَلكِنَّ جَابِيَ الضَّرَائِبِ، وَقَفَ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ وَهُوَ لَا يَجْرُؤُ أَنْ يَرْفَعَ عَيْنَيْهِ نَحْوَ السَّمَاءِ، بَلْ قَرَعَ صَدْرَهُ قَائِلاً: ارْحَمْنِي، يَا اللهُ، أَنَا الْخَاطِئُ!
BSB
BSB:
But the tax collector stood at a distance, unwilling even to lift up his eyes to heaven. Instead, he beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner!’
14
NAV
أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ هَذَا الإِنْسَانَ نَزَلَ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ مُبَرَّراً، بِعَكْسِ الآخَرِ. فَإِنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ يُرَفِّعُ نَفْسَهُ يُوضَعُ؛ وَمَنْ يَضَعُ نَفْسَهُ يُرَفَّعُ».
BSB
BSB:
I tell you, this man, rather than the Pharisee, went home justified. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”
15
NAV
وَأَحْضَرَ بَعْضُهُمْ أَطْفَالاً أَيْضاً لِيَلْمِسَهُمْ. وَلكِنَّ التَّلامِيذَ لَمَّا رَأَوْهُمْ زَجَرُوهُمْ.
BSB
BSB:
Now people were even bringing their babies to Jesus for Him to place His hands on them. And when the disciples saw this, they rebuked those who brought them.
16
NAV
أَمَّا يَسُوعُ فَدَعَاهُمْ إِلَيْهِ وَقَالَ: «دَعُوا الصِّغَارَ يَأْتُونَ إِلَيَّ، وَلا تَمْنَعُوهُمْ: لأَنَّ لِمِثْلِ هؤُلاءِ مَلَكُوتَ اللهِ!
BSB
BSB:
But Jesus called the children to Him and said,
“Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them! For the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
17
NAV
الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: مَنْ لَا يَقْبَلُ مَلَكُوتَ اللهِ كَأَنَّهُ وَلَدٌ صَغِيرٌ، فَلَنْ يَدْخُلَهُ أَبَداً!»
BSB
BSB:
Truly I tell you, anyone who does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”
18
NAV
وَسَأَلَهُ وَاحِدٌ مِنَ الرُّؤَسَاءِ قَائِلاً: «أَيُّهَا الْمُعَلِّمُ الصَّالِحُ، مَاذَا أَعْمَلُ لأَرِثَ الْحَيَاةَ الأَبَدِيَّةَ؟»
BSB
BSB:
Then a certain ruler asked Him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
19
NAV
وَلَكِنَّ يَسُوعَ قَالَ لَهُ: «لِمَاذَا تَدْعُونِي الصَّالِحَ؟ لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ صَالِحاً إِلّا وَاحِدٌ، وَهُوَ اللهُ!
BSB
BSB:
“Why do you call Me good?”
Jesus replied.
“No one is good except God alone.
20
NAV
أَنْتَ تَعْرِفُ الْوَصَايَا: لَا تَزْنِ؛ لَا تَقْتُلْ؛ لَا تَسْرِقْ؛ لَا تَشْهَدْ بِالزُّورِ؛ أَكْرِمْ أَبَاكَ وَأُمَّكَ!»
BSB
BSB:

BSB
BSB:
“All these I have kept from my youth,” he said.
22
NAV
فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ يَسُوعُ هَذَا، قَالَ لَهُ: «يَنْقُصُكَ شَيْءٌ وَاحِدٌ: بِعْ كُلَّ مَا عِنْدَكَ، وَوَزِّعْ عَلَى الْفُقَرَاءِ، فَيَكُونَ لَكَ كَنْزٌ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ. ثُمَّ تَعَالَ اتْبَعْنِي!»
BSB
BSB:
On hearing this, Jesus told him,
“You still lack one thing: Sell everything you own and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me.”
23
NAV
وَلكِنَّهُ لَمَّا سَمِعَ ذلِكَ، حَزِنَ حُزْناً شَدِيداً، لأَنَّهُ كَانَ غَنِيًّا جِدّاً.
BSB
BSB:
But when the ruler heard this, he became very sad, because he was extremely wealthy.
24
NAV
فَلَمَّا رَأَى يَسُوعُ ذَلِكَ مِنْهُ، قَالَ: «مَا أَصْعَبَ دُخُولَ الأَغْنِيَاءِ إِلَى مَلَكُوتِ اللهِ!
BSB
BSB:
Seeing the man’s sadness, Jesus said,
“How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!
25
NAV
فَإِنَّ مُرُورَ جَمَلٍ فِي ثَقْبِ إِبْرَةٍ أَسْهَلُ مِنْ دُخُولِ غَنِيٍّ إِلَى مَلَكُوتِ اللهِ».
BSB
BSB:
Indeed, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”

Those who heard this asked, “Who then can be saved?”

“What is impossible with man is possible with God.”
