1 GLT وَلَمَّا أَكْمَلَ يَسُوعُ أَمْرَهُ لِتَلَامِيذِهِ ٱلِٱثْنَيْ عَشَرَ، ٱنْصَرَفَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ لِيُعَلِّمَ وَيَكْرِزَ فِي مُدُنِهِمْ. BSB BSB: After Jesus had finished instructing His twelve disciples, He went on from there to teach and preach in their cities.
3 GLT وَقَالَ لَهُ: «أَنْتَ هُوَ ٱلْآتِي أَمْ نَنْتَظِرُ آخَرَ؟». BSB BSB: to ask Him, “Are You the One who was to come, or should we look for someone else?”
4 GLT فَأَجَابَ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ لَهُمَا: «ٱذْهَبَا وَأَخْبِرَا يُوحَنَّا بِمَا تَسْمَعَانِ وَتَنْظُرَانِ: BSB BSB: Jesus replied, “Go back and report to John what you hear and see:
5 GLT اَلْعُمْيُ يُبْصِرُونَ، وَٱلْعُرْجُ يَمْشُونَ، وَٱلْبُرْصُ يُطَهَّرُونَ، وَٱلصُّمُّ يَسْمَعُونَ، وَٱلْمَوْتَى يَقُومُونَ، وَٱلْمَسَاكِينُ يُبَشَّرُونَ. BSB BSB: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor.
6 GLT وَطُوبَى لِمَنْ لَا يَعْثُرُ فِيَّ». BSB BSB: Blessed is the one who does not fall away on account of Me.”
7 GLT وَبَيْنَمَا ذَهَبَ هَذَانِ ٱبْتَدَأَ يَسُوعُ يَقُولُ لِلْجُمُوعِ عَنْ يُوحَنَّا: «مَاذَا خَرَجْتُمْ إِلَى ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ لِتَنْظُرُوا؟ أَقَصَبَةً تُحَرِّكُهَا ٱلرِّيحُ؟ BSB BSB: As John’s disciples were leaving, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swaying in the wind?
8 GLT لَكِنْ مَاذَا خَرَجْتُمْ لِتَنْظُرُوا؟ أَإِنْسَانًا لَابِسًا ثِيَابًا نَاعِمَةً؟ هُوَذَا ٱلَّذِينَ يَلْبَسُونَ ٱلثِّيَابَ ٱلنَّاعِمَةَ هُمْ فِي بُيُوتِ ٱلْمُلُوكِ. BSB BSB: Otherwise, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? Look, those who wear fine clothing are found in kings’ palaces.
9 GLT لَكِنْ مَاذَا خَرَجْتُمْ لِتَنْظُرُوا؟ أَنَبِيًّا؟ نَعَمْ، أَقُولُ لَكُمْ، وَأَفْضَلَ مِنْ نَبِيٍّ. BSB BSB: What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.
10 GLT فَإِنَّ هَذَا هُوَ ٱلَّذِي كُتِبَ عَنْهُ: هَا أَنَا أُرْسِلُ أَمَامَ وَجْهِكَ مَلَاكِي ٱلَّذِي يُهَيِّئُ طَرِيقَكَ قُدَّامَكَ. BSB BSB: This is the one about whom it is written: ‘Behold, I will send My messenger ahead of You, who will prepare Your way before You.’
11 GLT اَلْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: لَمْ يَقُمْ بَيْنَ ٱلْمَوْلُودِينَ مِنَ ٱلنِّسَاءِ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ يُوحَنَّا ٱلْمَعْمَدَانِ، وَلَكِنَّ ٱلْأَصْغَرَ فِي مَلَكُوتِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ أَعْظَمُ مِنْهُ. BSB BSB: Truly I tell you, among those born of women there has risen no one greater than John the Baptist. Yet even the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
12 GLT وَمِنْ أَيَّامِ يُوحَنَّا ٱلْمَعْمَدَانِ إِلَى ٱلْآنَ مَلَكُوتُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ يُغْصَبُ، وَٱلْغَاصِبُونَ يَخْتَطِفُونَهُ. BSB BSB: From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been subject to violence, and the violent lay claim to it.
13 GLT لِأَنَّ جَمِيعَ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَٱلنَّامُوسَ إِلَى يُوحَنَّا تَنَبَّأُوا. BSB BSB: For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John.
15 GLT مَنْ لَهُ أُذُنَانِ لِلسَّمْعِ فَلْيَسْمَعْ. BSB BSB: He who has ears, let him hear.
16 GLT «وَبِمَنْ أُشَبِّهُ هَذَا ٱلْجِيلَ؟ يُشْبِهُ أَوْلَادًا جَالِسِينَ فِي ٱلْأَسْوَاقِ يُنَادُونَ إِلَى أَصْحَابِهِمْ BSB BSB: To what can I compare this generation? They are like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling out to others:
17 GLT وَيَقُولُونَ: زَمَّرْنَا لَكُمْ فَلَمْ تَرْقُصُوا! نُحْنَا لَكُمْ فَلَمْ تَلْطِمُوا! BSB BSB: ‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.’
18 GLT لِأَنَّهُ جَاءَ يُوحَنَّا لَا يَأْكُلُ وَلَا يَشْرَبُ، فَيَقُولُونَ: فِيهِ شَيْطَانٌ. BSB BSB: For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon!’
19 GLT جَاءَ ٱبْنُ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ يَأْكُلُ وَيَشْرَبُ، فَيَقُولُونَ: هُوَذَا إِنْسَانٌ أَكُولٌ وَشِرِّيبُ خَمْرٍ، مُحِبٌّ لِلْعَشَّارِينَ وَٱلْخُطَاةِ. وَٱلْحِكْمَةُ تَبَرَّرَتْ مِنْ بَنِيهَا». BSB BSB: The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look at this glutton and drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ But wisdom is vindicated by her actions.”
20 GLT حِينَئِذٍ ٱبْتَدَأَ يُوَبِّخُ ٱلْمُدُنَ ٱلَّتِي صُنِعَتْ فِيهَا أَكْثَرُ قُوَّاتِهِ لِأَنَّهَا لَمْ تَتُبْ: BSB BSB: Then Jesus began to denounce the cities in which most of His miracles had been performed, because they did not repent.
22 GLT وَلَكِنْ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ صُورَ وَصَيْدَاءَ تَكُونُ لَهُمَا حَالَةٌ أَكْثَرُ ٱحْتِمَالًا يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ مِمَّا لَكُمَا. BSB BSB: But I tell you, it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.
23 GLT وَأَنْتِ ياكَفْرَنَاحُومَ ٱلْمُرْتَفِعَةَ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَاءِ! سَتُهْبَطِينَ إِلَى ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ. لِأَنَّهُ لَوْ صُنِعَتْ فِي سَدُومَ ٱلْقُوَّاتُ ٱلْمَصْنُوعَةُ فِيكِ لَبَقِيَتْ إِلَى ٱلْيَوْمِ. BSB BSB: And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted up to heaven? No, you will be brought down to Hades! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Sodom, it would have remained to this day.
24 GLT وَلَكِنْ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ أَرْضَ سَدُومَ تَكُونُ لَهَا حَالَةٌ أَكْثَرُ ٱحْتِمَالًا يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ مِمَّا لَكِ». BSB BSB: But I tell you that it will be more bearable for Sodom on the day of judgment than for you.”
25 GLT فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ أَجَابَ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ: «أَحْمَدُكَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْآبُ رَبُّ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ، لِأَنَّكَ أَخْفَيْتَ هَذِهِ عَنِ ٱلْحُكَمَاءِ وَٱلْفُهَمَاءِ وَأَعْلَنْتَهَا لِلْأَطْفَالِ. BSB BSB: At that time Jesus declared, “I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because You have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children.
26 GLT نَعَمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْآبُ، لِأَنْ هَكَذَا صَارَتِ ٱلْمَسَرَّةُ أَمَامَكَ. BSB BSB: Yes, Father, for this was well-pleasing in Your sight.
27 GLT كُلُّ شَيْءٍ قَدْ دُفِعَ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَبِي، وَلَيْسَ أَحَدٌ يَعْرِفُ ٱلِٱبْنَ إِلَّا ٱلْآبُ، وَلَا أَحَدٌ يَعْرِفُ ٱلْآبَ إِلَّا ٱلِٱبْنُ وَمَنْ أَرَادَ ٱلِٱبْنُ أَنْ يُعْلِنَ لَهُ. BSB BSB: All things have been entrusted to Me by My Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him.
28 GLT تَعَالَوْا إِلَيَّ يا جَمِيعَ ٱلْمُتْعَبِينَ وَٱلثَّقِيلِي ٱلْأَحْمَالِ، وَأَنَا أُرِيحُكُمْ. BSB BSB: Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
29 GLT اِحْمِلُوا نِيرِي عَلَيْكُمْ وَتَعَلَّمُوا مِنِّي، لِأَنِّي وَدِيعٌ وَمُتَوَاضِعُ ٱلْقَلْبِ، فَتَجِدُوا رَاحَةً لِنُفُوسِكُمْ. BSB BSB: Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
30 GLT لِأَنَّ نِيرِي هَيِّنٌ وَحِمْلِي خَفِيفٌ». BSB BSB: For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
