1 GLT وَجَعَلَ يَسُوعُ يُكَلِّمُهُمْ أَيْضًا بِأَمْثَالٍ قَائِلًا: BSB BSB: Once again, Jesus spoke to them in parables:
2 GLT «يُشْبِهُ مَلَكُوتُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ إِنْسَانًا مَلِكًا صَنَعَ عُرْسًا لِٱبْنِهِ، BSB BSB: “The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son.
3 GLT وَأَرْسَلَ عَبِيدَهُ لِيَدْعُوا ٱلْمَدْعُوِّينَ إِلَى ٱلْعُرْسِ، فَلَمْ يُرِيدُوا أَنْ يَأْتُوا. BSB BSB: He sent his servants to call those he had invited to the banquet, but they refused to come.
4 GLT فَأَرْسَلَ أَيْضًا عَبِيدًا آخَرِينَ قَائِلًا: قُولُوا لِلْمَدْعُوِّينَ: هُوَذَا غَدَائِي أَعْدَدْتُهُ. ثِيرَانِي وَمُسَمَّنَاتِي قَدْ ذُبِحَتْ، وَكُلُّ شَيْءٍ مُعَدٌّ. تَعَالَوْا إِلَى ٱلْعُرْسِ! BSB BSB: Again, he sent other servants and said, ‘Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner. My oxen and fattened cattle have been killed, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.’
5 GLT وَلَكِنَّهُمْ تَهَاوَنُوا وَمَضَوْا، وَاحِدٌ إِلَى حَقْلِهِ، وَآخَرُ إِلَى تِجَارَتِهِ، BSB BSB: But they paid no attention and went away, one to his field, another to his business.
6 GLT وَٱلْبَاقُونَ أَمْسَكُوا عَبِيدَهُ وَشَتَمُوهُمْ وَقَتَلُوهُمْ. BSB BSB: The rest seized his servants, mistreated them, and killed them.
7 GLT فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ ٱلْمَلِكُ غَضِبَ، وَأَرْسَلَ جُنُودَهُ وَأَهْلَكَ أُولَئِكَ ٱلْقَاتِلِينَ وَأَحْرَقَ مَدِينَتَهُمْ. BSB BSB: The king was enraged, and he sent his troops to destroy those murderers and burn their city.
8 GLT ثُمَّ قَالَ لِعَبِيدِهِ: أَمَّا ٱلْعُرْسُ فَمُسْتَعَدٌّ، وَأَمَّا ٱلْمَدْعُوُّونَ فَلَمْ يَكُونُوا مُسْتَحِقِّينَ. BSB BSB: Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited were not worthy.
9 GLT فَٱذْهَبُوا إِلَى مَفَارِقِ ٱلطُّرُقِ، وَكُلُّ مَنْ وَجَدْتُمُوهُ فَٱدْعُوهُ إِلَى ٱلْعُرْسِ. BSB BSB: Go therefore to the crossroads and invite to the banquet as many as you can find.’
10 GLT فَخَرَجَ أُولَئِكَ ٱلْعَبِيدُ إِلَى ٱلطُّرُقِ، وَجَمَعُوا كُلَّ ٱلَّذِينَ وَجَدُوهُمْ أَشْرَارًا وَصَالِحِينَ. فَٱمْتَلَأَ ٱلْعُرْسُ مِنَ ٱلْمُتَّكِئِينَ. BSB BSB: So the servants went out into the streets and gathered everyone they could find, both evil and good, and the wedding hall was filled with guests.
11 GLT فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ ٱلْمَلِكُ لِيَنْظُرَ ٱلْمُتَّكِئِينَ، رَأَى هُنَاكَ إِنْسَانًا لَمْ يَكُنْ لَابِسًا لِبَاسَ ٱلْعُرْسِ. BSB BSB: But when the king came in to see the guests, he spotted a man who was not dressed in wedding clothes.
12 GLT فَقَالَ لَهُ: يا صَاحِبُ، كَيْفَ دَخَلْتَ إِلَى هُنَا وَلَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ لِبَاسُ ٱلْعُرْسِ؟ فَسَكَتَ. BSB BSB: ‘Friend,’ he asked, ‘how did you get in here without wedding clothes?’ But the man was speechless.
13 GLT حِينَئِذٍ قَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ لِلْخُدَّامِ: ٱرْبُطُوا رِجْلَيْهِ وَيَدَيْهِ، وَخُذُوهُ وَٱطْرَحُوهُ فِي ٱلظُّلْمَةِ ٱلْخَارِجِيَّةِ. هُنَاكَ يَكُونُ ٱلْبُكَاءُ وَصَرِيرُ ٱلْأَسْنَانِ. BSB BSB: Then the king told the servants, ‘Tie him hand and foot, and throw him into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
14 GLT لِأَنَّ كَثِيرِينَ يُدْعَوْنَ وَقَلِيلِينَ يُنْتَخَبُونَ». BSB BSB: For many are called, but few are chosen.”
15 GLT حِينَئِذٍ ذَهَبَ ٱلْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ وَتَشَاوَرُوا لِكَيْ يَصْطَادُوهُ بِكَلِمَةٍ. BSB BSB: Then the Pharisees went out and conspired to trap Jesus in His words.
16 GLT فَأَرْسَلُوا إِلَيْهِ تَلَامِيذَهُمْ مَعَ ٱلْهِيرُودُسِيِّينَ قَائِلِينَ: «يَا مُعَلِّمُ، نَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ صَادِقٌ وَتُعَلِّمُ طَرِيقَ ٱللهِ بِٱلْحَقِّ، وَلَا تُبَالِي بِأَحَدٍ، لِأَنَّكَ لَا تَنْظُرُ إِلَى وُجُوهِ ٱلنَّاسِ. BSB BSB: They sent their disciples to Him along with the Herodians. “Teacher,” they said, “we know that You are honest and that You teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. You seek favor from no one, because You pay no attention to external appearance.
17 GLT فَقُلْ لَنَا: مَاذَا تَظُنُّ؟ أَيَجُوزُ أَنْ تُعْطَى جِزْيَةٌ لِقَيْصَرَ أَمْ لَا؟». BSB BSB: So tell us what You think: Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”
18 GLT فَعَلِمَ يَسُوعُ خُبْثَهُمْ وَقَالَ: «لِمَاذَا تُجَرِّبُونَنِي يا مُرَاؤُونَ؟ BSB BSB: But Jesus knew their evil intent and said, “You hypocrites, why are you testing Me?
19 GLT أَرُونِي مُعَامَلَةَ ٱلْجِزْيَةِ». فَقَدَّمُوا لَهُ دِينَارًا. BSB BSB: Show Me the coin used for the tax.” And they brought Him a denarius.
20 GLT فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «لِمَنْ هَذِهِ ٱلصُّورَةُ وَٱلْكِتَابَةُ؟». BSB BSB: “Whose image is this,” He asked, “and whose inscription?”
21 GLT قَالُوا لَهُ: «لِقَيْصَرَ». فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَعْطُوا إِذًا مَا لِقَيْصَرَ لِقَيْصَرَ وَمَا لِلهِ لِلهِ». BSB BSB: “Caesar’s,” they answered. So Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”
22 GLT فَلَمَّا سَمِعُوا تَعَجَّبُوا وَتَرَكُوهُ وَمَضَوْا. BSB BSB: And when they heard this, they were amazed. So they left Him and went away.
24 GLT قَائِلِينَ: «يَا مُعَلِّمُ، قَالَ مُوسَى: إِنْ مَاتَ أَحَدٌ وَلَيْسَ لَهُ أَوْلَادٌ، يَتَزَوَّجْ أَخُوهُ بِٱمْرَأَتِهِ وَيُقِمْ نَسْلًا لِأَخِيهِ. BSB BSB: “Teacher,” they said, “Moses declared that if a man dies without having children, his brother is to marry the widow and raise up offspring for him.
25 GLT فَكَانَ عِنْدَنَا سَبْعَةُ إِخْوَةٍ، وَتَزَوَّجَ ٱلْأَوَّلُ وَمَاتَ. وَإِذْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ نَسْلٌ تَرَكَ ٱمْرَأَتَهُ لِأَخِيهِ. BSB BSB: Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one married and died without having children. So he left his wife to his brother.
26 GLT وَكَذَلِكَ ٱلثَّانِي وَٱلثَّالِثُ إِلَى ٱلسَّبْعَةِ. BSB BSB: The same thing happened to the second and third brothers, down to the seventh.
27 GLT وَآخِرَ ٱلْكُلِّ مَاتَتِ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ أَيْضًا. BSB BSB: And last of all, the woman died.
28 GLT فَفِي ٱلْقِيَامَةِ لِمَنْ مِنَ ٱلسَّبْعَةِ تَكُونُ زَوْجَةً؟ فَإِنَّهَا كَانَتْ لِلْجَمِيعِ!». BSB BSB: In the resurrection, then, whose wife will she be of the seven? For all of them were married to her.”
29 GLT فَأَجَابَ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «تَضِلُّونَ إِذْ لَا تَعْرِفُونَ ٱلْكُتُبَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ ٱللهِ. BSB BSB: Jesus answered, “You are mistaken because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God.
30 GLT لِأَنَّهُمْ فِي ٱلْقِيَامَةِ لَا يُزَوِّجُونَ وَلَا يَتَزَوَّجُونَ، بَلْ يَكُونُونَ كَمَلَائِكَةِ ٱللهِ فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ. BSB BSB: In the resurrection, people will neither marry nor be given in marriage. Instead, they will be like the angels in heaven.
31 GLT وَأَمَّا مِنْ جِهَةِ قِيَامَةِ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ، أَفَمَا قَرَأْتُمْ مَا قِيلَ لَكُمْ مِنْ قِبَلِ ٱللهِ ٱلْقَائِلِ: BSB BSB: But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what God said to you:
33 GLT فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ ٱلْجُمُوعُ بُهِتُوا مِنْ تَعْلِيمِهِ. BSB BSB: When the crowds heard this, they were astonished at His teaching.
34 GLT أَمَّا ٱلْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ فَلَمَّا سَمِعُوا أَنَّهُ أَبْكَمَ ٱلصَّدُّوقِيِّينَ ٱجْتَمَعُوا مَعًا، BSB BSB: And when the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they themselves gathered together.
35 GLT وَسَأَلَهُ وَاحِدٌ مِنْهُمْ، وَهُوَ نَامُوسِيٌّ، لِيُجَرِّبَهُ قَائِلًا: BSB BSB: One of them, an expert in the law, tested Him with a question:
36 GLT «يَا مُعَلِّمُ، أَيَّةُ وَصِيَّةٍ هِيَ ٱلْعُظْمَى فِي ٱلنَّامُوسِ؟». BSB BSB: “Teacher, which commandment is the greatest in the Law?”
37 GLT فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «تُحِبُّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ مِنْ كُلِّ قَلْبِكَ، وَمِنْ كُلِّ نَفْسِكَ، وَمِنْ كُلِّ فِكْرِكَ. BSB BSB: Jesus declared, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’
38 GLT هَذِهِ هِيَ ٱلْوَصِيَّةُ ٱلْأُولَى وَٱلْعُظْمَى. BSB BSB: This is the first and greatest commandment.
39 GLT وَٱلثَّانِيَةُ مِثْلُهَا: تُحِبُّ قَرِيبَكَ كَنَفْسِكَ. BSB BSB: And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
40 GLT بِهَاتَيْنِ ٱلْوَصِيَّتَيْنِ يَتَعَلَّقُ ٱلنَّامُوسُ كُلُّهُ وَٱلْأَنْبِيَاءُ». BSB BSB: All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
41 GLT وَفِيمَا كَانَ ٱلْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ مُجْتَمِعِينَ سَأَلَهُمْ يَسُوعُ BSB BSB: While the Pharisees were assembled, Jesus questioned them:
42 GLT قَائِلًا: «مَاذَا تَظُنُّونَ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ؟ ٱبْنُ مَنْ هُوَ؟» قَالُوا لَهُ: «ٱبْنُ دَاوُدَ». BSB BSB: “What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is He?” “David’s,” they answered.
43 GLT قَالَ لَهُمْ: «فَكَيْفَ يَدْعُوهُ دَاوُدُ بِٱلرُّوحِ رَبًّا؟ قَائِلًا: BSB BSB: Jesus said to them, “How then does David in the Spirit call Him ‘Lord’? For he says:
44 GLT قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِرَبِّي: ٱجْلِسْ عَنْ يَمِينِي حَتَّى أَضَعَ أَعْدَاءَكَ مَوْطِئًا لِقَدَمَيْكَ. BSB BSB: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand until I put Your enemies under Your feet.”’
45 GLT فَإِنْ كَانَ دَاوُدُ يَدْعُوهُ رَبًّا، فَكَيْفَ يَكُونُ ٱبْنَهُ؟». BSB BSB: So if David calls Him ‘Lord,’ how can He be David’s son?”
46 GLT فَلَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يُجِيبَهُ بِكَلِمَةٍ. وَمِنْ ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ لَمْ يَجْسُرْ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يَسْأَلَهُ بَتَّةً. BSB BSB: No one was able to answer a word, and from that day on no one dared to question Him any further.
