Messages to the Elder Son
و كان ابنه الاكبر في الحقل فلما جاء و قرب من البيت سمع صوت الات طرب و رقصا. فدعا واحدا من الغلمان و ساله ما عسى ان يكون هذا. فقال له اخوك جاء فذبح ابوك العجل المسمن لانه قبله سالما. فغضب و لم يرد ان يدخل فخرج ابوه يطلب اليه. فاجاب و قال لابيه
"Now his older son was in the field. And as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing. "So he called one of the servants and asked what these things meant. "And he said to him, 'Your brother has come, and because he has received him safe and sound, your father has killed the fatted calf'. "But he was angry and would not go in. Therefore his father came out and pleaded with him. "So he answered and said to [his] father,
ها انا اخدمك سنين هذا عددها و قط لم اتجاوز وصيتك و جديا لم تعطني قط لافرح مع اصدقائي. و لكن لما جاء ابنك هذا الذي اكل معيشتك مع الزواني ذبحت له العجل المسمن. فقال له يا بني انت معي في كل حين و كل ما لي فهو لك. و لكن كان ينبغي ان نفرح و نسر لان اخاك هذا كان ميتا فعاش و كان ضالا فوجد (لو 15 : 25 – 32)
'Lo, these many years I have been serving you; I never transgressed your commandment at any time; and yet you never gave me a young goat, that I might make merry with my friends. But as soon as this son of yours came, who has devoured your livelihood with harlots, you killed the fatted calf for him'. "And he said to him, 'Son, you are always with me, and all that I have is yours. It was right that we should make merry and be glad, for your brother was dead and is alive again, and was lost and is found’ “ (Luke 15 : 25 : 32)

لماذا تغضب ؟!
Why do you Get Angry?!
احذر من المقارنة المؤذية
Beware of Harmful Comparison
أنت لم تخسر شيئاً
You didn’t Lose Anything
احذر من سوء الظن
Beware of Mistrust
أنت أيضاً فى كورة بعيدة إسمها (الذات)
You are also in a distant Village called (Ego)
لماذا تغضب ؟!
Why do you Get Angry?!

أبوك يحبك .. ولا يفرح بدونك
Your Father loves you. And he will not be happy without you
أبوك يحتمل غضبك وحزنك وجحودك
Your father endures your anger, sadness and ingratitude
أبوك يطلبك
Your Father Pleads
من فمك أدينك
Out of your Own Mouth I will Judge you

تحولت إلى خادم وفقدت البنوة
You turned into a servant and lost your sonship
تجاوزت وصيتى مرات بلا عدد وأنا ساكت
You disobeyed my will many times and I did not talk
أعطيتك أكثر مما تستحق لكنك تريد العجل
I gave you more than you deserve, but you stick to the calf.
من فمك أدينك
Out of your Own Mouth I will Judge you
جعلت كل أفراحك بعيدة عنى
You celebrated all your joys away from me
فقدت أكثر ما يفرحنى .. حبك لأخيك
You have lost the most thing that makes me happy, your love to your brother
توقفت عن شكرى .. وتحولت إلى دياناً لي
You stopped thanking Me and turned into a judge for Me.
من فمك أدينك
Out of your Own Mouth I will Judge you
و لكن لما جاء ابنك هذا الذي اكل معيشتك مع الزواني ذبحت له العجل المسمن.

أخوك ده .. ابني يا بني
This your Brother … This is My son, O’ Son
أخوك متألم أكثر منك .. كفاية تركيز على نفسك
Your brother is in pain more than you are. Enough focusing on yourself
أخوك يحتاج إلى حضنك وليس حكمك
Your brother needs your hug, not your judgment.
أخوك ده .. ابني يا بني
This your Brother … This is My son, O’ Son
أخوك ده سر فرحي .. كن مثله وارجع إلىَّ
Your brother is the reason of my Joy ; Be like him and come back to Me.
أخوك ظلم نفسه وأنت أيضاً
Your brother was unfair to himself and you was unfair too
أخوك ده .. ابني يا بني
This your Brother … This is My son, O’ Son
فقال له يا بني انت معي في كل حين و كل ما لي فهو لك. (لو 15 : 31)
"And he said to him, 'Son, you are always with me, and all that I have is yours. (Luke 15 : 31)
أنت معى فى كل حين
You are always with Me
حقك ومصلحتك وراحتك .. هم ما يشغلني دائماً .. وللأسف يشغلونك أيضاً
Your right, your interest and your comfort concern Me always. Yet unfortunately they over-occupy you though
أنت معى وأمام عيني .. لكنى أنا لست معك
You are with me and in front of Me, But I'm not with you.
كل ما لي فهو لك .. لكنك أردت مالى بدونى
All that I have is yours, but you wanted what I have without Me
أنت معى فى كل حين
You are always with Me
و لكن كان ينبغي ان نفرح و نسر لان اخاك هذا كان ميتا فعاش و كان ضالا فوجد (لو 15 : 32)
It was right that we should make merry and be glad, for your brother was dead and is alive again, and was lost and is found’ “ (Luke 15 : 32)
كان ينبغى أن نفرح
It was Right that We Should Make Merry
لو سامحت وتقبلت الخطاة تذوق فرح القيامة
If you forgive and accept sinners, you will taste the joy of Resurrection
لو عرفت محبة الناس ستجد سبباً للفرح طول الوقت
If you know the love of people you will find a reason to be happy all the time
كان ينبغى أن نفرح
It was Right that We Should Make Merry
العبيد يفرحون معى .. والتائب أيضاً .. فلا تقف وحدك
The Slaves rejoice with me, and the Repentant too, so don’t abandon yourself
الفرح لا يكمل إلا بالحب .. والحب لا يكمل إلا بالمشاركة
Joy is never complete without Love, and love is never complete without Sharing
كان ينبغى أن نفرح
It was Right that We Should Make Merry
