كم مره يخطئ إليَّ أخي؟؟؟

How often shall my brother sin against me ??

حينئذ تقدم اليه بطرس و قال يا رب كم مرة يخطئ الي اخي و انا اغفر له هل الى سبع مرات. قال له يسوع لا اقول لك الى سبع مرات بل الى سبعين مرة سبع مرات. التمثل بغفران الله الغير محدود لذلك يشبه ملكوت السماوات انسانا ملكا اراد ان يحاسب عبيده. فلما ابتدا في المحاسبة قدم اليه واحد مديون بعشرة الاف وزنة.

Then Peter came to Him and said, "Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?". Jesus said to him, "I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven. "Therefore the kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. "And when he had begun to settle accounts, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents.

و اذ لم يكن له ما يوفي امر سيده ان يباع هو و امراته و اولاده و كل ما له و يوفي الدين. فخر العبد و سجد له قائلا يا سيد تمهل علي فاوفيك الجميع. فتحنن سيد ذلك العبد و اطلقه و ترك له الدين. و لما خرج ذلك العبد وجد واحدا من العبيد رفقائه كان مديونا له بمئة دينار فامسكه و اخذ بعنقه قائلا اوفني ما لي عليك.

"But as he was not able to pay, his master commanded that he be sold, with his wife and children and all that he had, and that payment be made. "The servant therefore fell down before him, saying, 'Master, have patience with me, and I will pay you all'. "Then the master of that servant was moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt. "But that servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii; and he laid hands on him and took [him] by the throat, saying, 'Pay me what you owe!'.

فخر العبد رفيقه على قدميه و طلب اليه قائلا تمهل علي فاوفيك الجميع. فلم يرد بل مضى و القاه في سجن حتى يوفي الدين. فلما راى العبيد رفقاؤه ما كان حزنوا جدا و اتوا و قصوا على سيدهم كل ما جرى. فدعاه حينئذ سيده و قال له ايها العبد الشرير كل ذلك الدين تركته لك لانك طلبت الي.

"So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, saying, 'Have patience with me, and I will pay you all'. "And he would not, but went and threw him into prison till he should pay the debt. "So when his fellow servants saw what had been done, they were very grieved, and came and told their master all that had been done. "Then his master, after he had called him, said to him, 'You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me.

افما كان ينبغي انك انت ايضا ترحم العبد رفيقك كما رحمتك انا. و غضب سيده و سلمه الى المعذبين حتى يوفي كل ما كان له عليه. فهكذا ابي السماوي يفعل بكم ان لم تتركوا من قلوبكم كل واحد لاخيه زلاته. (مت 18 : 21 – 35)

Should you not also have had compassion on your fellow servant, just as I had pity on you?'. "And his master was angry, and delivered him to the torturers until he should pay all that was due to him. "So My heavenly Father also will do to you if each of you, from his heart, does not forgive his brother his trespasses“ (Mat 18 : 21 – 35)

دماغ العداد

The Counting Mind

لو بدأت تعد على أخيك ... العداد في السماء إشتغل

If you start counting for your brother,

the counter in heaven has also started working

قد لا تكون هذه المرات أخطاء حقيقية ... بل أوهام

These times may not be real mistakes... but illusions

إحذر من شيطان سوء الظن

Beware of the demon of distrust

أنا أغفر له؟؟!!

I forgive him!

هل هو غفران حقيقي؟؟ .. وهل هو مخطئ بجد؟؟

Is it true forgiveness?? And is he really wrong??

هل حدث عتاب صادق؟

Has there been an honest reproach?

لماذا لا تكون مثل هذا الغني الملك المتحنن الذي أطلقه وترك له الدين؟

Why not be like this rich man, the compassionate king,

who released him and released him from his debt?

هل عاتبت حقاً؟!!

Did you really reproach??

و ان اخطا اليك اخوك فاذهب و عاتبه بينك و بينه وحدكما ان سمع منك فقد ربحت اخاك. و ان لم يسمع فخذ معك ايضا واحدا او اثنين لكي تقوم كل كلمة على فم شاهدين او ثلاثة. و ان لم يسمع منهم فقل للكنيسة و ان لم يسمع من الكنيسة فليكن عندك كالوثني و العشار. (مت 18 : 15 - 17)

" Moreover if your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have gained your brother. "But if he will not hear, take with you one or two more, that 'by the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established'. "And if he refuses to hear them, tell [it] to the church. But if he refuses even to hear the church, let him be to you like a heathen and a tax collector. (Mat 18: 15 – 17)

وحدكما

Only both of you

هل كان غرضك الربح المقدس

Was your purpose a true holy gain?

هل أخذت صانعي سلام

Did you take any peacemakers?

هل لجأت الكنيسة وكنت خاضعاً

Did you seek refuge in the church and were you submissive?

من المعثر؟؟!

Who is the offender?!

و من اعثر احد هؤلاء الصغار المؤمنين بي فخير له ان يعلق في عنقه حجر الرحى و يغرق في لجة البحر. ويل للعالم من العثرات فلا بد ان تاتي العثرات و لكن ويل لذلك الانسان الذي به تاتي العثرة.

" But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea. "Woe to the world because of offenses! For offenses must come, but woe to that man by whom the offense comes!.

فان اعثرتك يدك او رجلك فاقطعها و القها عنك خير لك ان تدخل الحياة اعرج او اقطع من ان تلقى في النار الابدية و لك يدان او رجلان. و ان اعثرتك عينك فاقلعها و القها عنك خير لك ان تدخل الحياة اعور من ان تلقى في جهنم النار و لك عينان. انظروا لا تحتقروا احد هؤلاء الصغار لاني اقول لكم ان ملائكتهم في السماوات كل حين ينظرون وجه ابي الذي في السماوات. (مت 18 : 6 – 10)

"If your hand or foot causes you to sin, cut it off and cast [it] from you. It is better for you to enter into life lame or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet, to be cast into the everlasting fire. "And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast [it] from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into hell fire. " Take heed that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that in heaven their angels always see the face of My Father who is in heaven. (Mat 18 : 6 – 10)

إذا إحتقرت إنساناً .. أنت الجاني

If you despise someone, you are the one who is guilty

هل قطعت المجال المعثر .. أم قبلت حالة الخصام

Did you cut off the stumbling field,

or did you accept the situation of conflict?

من ينجو من العثرات؟! ... المتواضعون

Who survives the offenses?! ...the humble

التواضع طريق الغفران والنقاوة

Humility is the path to forgiveness and purity

في تلك الساعة تقدم التلاميذ الى يسوع قائلين فمن هو اعظم في ملكوت السماوات. فدعا يسوع اليه ولدا و اقامه في وسطهم. و قال الحق اقول لكم ان لم ترجعوا و تصيروا مثل الاولاد فلن تدخلوا ملكوت السماوات.

At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, "Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?". Then Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them,. and said, "Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.

فمن وضع نفسه مثل هذا الولد فهو الاعظم في ملكوت السماوات. و من قبل ولدا واحدا مثل هذا باسمي فقد قبلني. (مت 18 : 1 – 5)

. "Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. "Whoever receives one little child like this in My name receives Me. (Mat 18 : 1 – 5)

عش كطفل يمرح ولا تبحث عن كرامة

Live like a child having fun and don't look for self dignity

تقبل الناس بسعادة الأطفال

Accept people happily like children

تقبل كل إعتذار وكل محاولة .. بقلب متواضع

Accept every apology and every attempt.. with a humble heart

إذا أتفق اثنان؟!

if two of you agree

الحق اقول لكم كل ما تربطونه على الارض يكون مربوطا في السماء و كل ما تحلونه على الارض يكون محلولا في السماء. و اقول لكم ايضا ان اتفق اثنان منكم على الارض في اي شيء يطلبانه فانه يكون لهما من قبل ابي الذي في السماوات. لانه حيثما اجتمع اثنان او ثلاثة باسمي فهناك اكون في وسطهم. (مت 18: 18 – 20)

"Assuredly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. "Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. "For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them“ (Mat 18 : 18 – 20)

ما أجمل الإتفاق .. عودة للمسيح والبركة

How beautiful it is to settle things up .. the return of Christ and the blessing

الإستجابة السريعة .. والحضور الإلهي

Rapid response.. and Godly presence

فان قدمت قربانك الى المذبح و هناك تذكرت ان لاخيك شيئا عليك. فاترك هناك قربانك قدام المذبح و اذهب اولا اصطلح مع اخيك و حينئذ تعال و قدم قربانك. (مت 5 : 23 ، 24)

"Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you,. "leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. (Mat 5: 23 , 24)

لا يشغلك؟!

Don't worry about?!

كم مرة يخطئ أحد إليك .. بل كم مره تخطئ أنت

How many times does someone do you wrong ..

but how many times do you make mistakes

من يكرهك .. (إن وجد) .. بل من ينبغي أن تحبه أكثر

Who hates you.. (if any) .. but whom should you love more

من يتآمر عليك أو يتكلم عليك .. بل عفة لسانك وطهارة قلبك

Whoever plots against you or speaks against you ..

but the chastity of your tongue and the purity of your heart

موقف الناس منك .. بل موقفك من الناس

People's attitude towards you.. but your attitude towards people

كل ذلك الدين تركته لك؟!

I forgave you all that debt

فلما راى العبيد رفقاؤه ما كان حزنوا جدا و اتوا و قصوا على سيدهم كل ما جرى. فدعاه حينئذ سيده و قال له ايها العبد الشرير كل ذلك الدين تركته لك لانك طلبت الي. افما كان ينبغي انك انت ايضا ترحم العبد رفيقك كما رحمتك انا. (مت 18 : 31 – 33)

"So when his fellow servants saw what had been done, they were very grieved, and came and told their master all that had been done. "Then his master, after he had called him, said to him, 'You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me. Should you not also have had compassion on your fellow servant, just as I had pity on you?'. (Mat 18 : 31 – 33)

أنت تطلب الغفران .. قدمه لكي تستحقه

You ask for forgiveness, give it out so as you would deserve it

هل تعرف كم عليك للسيد؟!

Do you know how much you owe to the Master?!

تذكر يوم الدينونة .. يسهل عليك الغفران

Remembering the day of judgment, makes it easier for you to forgive
