متى ١٨, Matthew 18 : 21 ~ 35, مثل العبد الذي لا يغتفر, The Parable of the Unforgiving Servant

 Matthew 18 : 21 ~ 35 ( متى ١٨)

مثل العبد الذي لا يغتفر : 

قرب بطرس وقال ليسوع: " يا سيد، كم مرة يخطأ إلي أخي وأغفر له؟ أسبع مرات؟" فأجابه يسوع: " لا سبع مرات، بل سبعين مرة سبع مرات  فملكوت السماوات يشبه ملكا أراد أن يحاسب عبيده. فلما بدأ يحاسبهم، جيء إليه بواحد منهم عليه عشرة آلاف درهم من الفضة . وكان لا يملك ما يوفي، فأمر سيده بأن يباع هو واَمرأته وأولاده وجميع ما يملك حتى يوفيه دينه. فركع العبد له ساجدا وقال: أمهلني فأوفيك كل ما لك علي! فأشفق عليه سيده وأطلقه وأعفاه من الدين. ولما خرج الرجل لقي عبدا من أصحابه كان له عليه مئة دينار، فأمسكه بعنقه حتى كاد يخنقه وهو يقول له: أوفني ما لي عليك! فركع صاحبه يرجوه ويقول: أمهلني، فأوفيك. فما أراد، بل أخذه وألقاه في السجن حتى يوفيه الدين. ورأى العبيد أصحابه ما جرى، فاستاؤوا كثيرا وذهبوا وأخبروا سيدهم بكل ما جرى. فدعاه سيده وقال له: يا عبد السوء! اعفيتك من دينك كله لأنك رجوتني. أفما كان يجب عليك أن ترحم صاحبك مثلما رحمتك؟ وغضب سيده كثيرا، فسلمه إلى الجلادين حتى يوفيه كل ما له عليه. هكذا يفعل بكم أبي السماوي إن كان كل واحد منكم لا يغفر لأخيه من كل قلبه " .

MATTHEW 18 : 21 ~ 35

The Parable of the Unforgiving Servant

21Then Peter came up and said to him, “Lord, how often will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times?” 22Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you seven times, but seventy-seven times.

23 “Therefore the kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who wished  to settle accounts with his servants.  24When he began to settle, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents. 

25And since he could not pay, his master ordered him to be sold, with his wife and children and all that he had, and payment to be made. 26So the servantfell on his knees, imploring him, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you everything.’ 

27And out of pity for him, the master of that servant released him and forgave him the debt. 28But when that same servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii, and seizing him, he began to choke him, saying, ‘Pay what you owe.’

 29So his fellow servant fell down and pleaded with him, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you.’ 30He refused and went and put him in prison until he should pay the debt. 31When his fellow servants saw what had taken place, they were greatly distressed, and they went and reported to their master all that had taken place. 

32Then his master summoned him and said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you pleaded with me. 33And should not you have had mercy on your fellow servant, as I had mercy on you?’ 

34And in anger his master delivered him to the jailers,until he should pay all his debt. 35So also my heavenly Father will do to every one of you, if you do not forgive your brother from your heart.”
