مثال العذارى الحكيمات والجاهلات: إِسْهَرُوا إِذًا لأَنَّكُم لا تَعْلَمُونَ اليَوْمَ ولا السَّاعَة

Parable Of The Wise & Foolish bridesmaids: Keep awake therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour


وأَخيرًا جَاءَتِ العَذَارَى البَاقِيَاتُ وقُلْنَ: يَا رَبُّ، يَا رَبُّ، ٱفْتَحْ لَنَا! فَأَجَابَ وقَال: أَلحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُنَّ، إِنِّي لا أَعْرِفُكُنَّ! إِسْهَرُوا إِذًا، لأَنَّكُم لا تَعْلَمُونَ اليَوْمَ ولا السَّاعَة
إنجيل القدّيس متّى25/من01حتى13/“قالَ الربُّ يَسوع: «يُشْبِهُ مَلَكُوتُ السَّمَاوَاتِ عَشْرَ عَذَارَى أَخَذْنَ مَصَابِيحَهُنَّ وخَرَجْنَ إِلى لِقَاءِ العَريس، خَمْسٌ مِنْهُنَّ جَاهِلات، وخَمْسٌ حَكِيمَات. فَالجَاهِلاتُ أَخَذْنَ مَصَابِيحَهُنَّ ولَمْ يَأْخُذْنَ مَعَهُنَّ زَيْتًا. أَمَّا الحَكِيْمَاتُ فَأَخَذْنَ زَيْتًا في آنِيَةٍ مَعَ مَصَابِيْحِهِنَّ. وأَبْطَأَ العَريسُ فَنَعَسْنَ جَمِيعُهُنَّ، ورَقَدْنَ. وفي مُنْتَصَفِ اللَّيل، صَارَتِ الصَّيحَة: هُوَذَا العَريس! أُخْرُجُوا إِلى لِقَائِهِ! حينَئِذٍ قَامَتْ أُولئِكَ العَذَارَى كُلُّهُنَّ، وزَيَّنَّ مَصَابِيحَهُنَّ. فقَالَتِ الجَاهِلاتُ لِلحَكيمَات: أَعْطِينَنا مِنْ زَيتِكُنَّ، لأَنَّ مَصَابِيحَنَا تَنْطَفِئ. فَأَجَابَتِ الحَكيمَاتُ وقُلْنَ: قَدْ لا يَكْفِينَا ويَكْفِيكُنَّ. إِذْهَبْنَ بِالأَحْرَى إِلى البَاعَةِ وٱبْتَعْنَ لَكُنَّ. ولَمَّا ذَهَبْنَ لِيَبْتَعْنَ، جَاءَ العَريس، ودَخَلَتِ المُسْتَعِدَّاتُ إِلى العُرْس، وأُغْلِقَ البَاب. وأَخيرًا جَاءَتِ العَذَارَى البَاقِيَاتُ وقُلْنَ: يَا رَبُّ، يَا رَبُّ، ٱفْتَحْ لَنَا! فَأَجَابَ وقَال: أَلحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُنَّ، إِنِّي لا أَعْرِفُكُنَّ! إِسْهَرُوا إِذًا، لأَنَّكُم لا تَعْلَمُونَ اليَوْمَ ولا السَّاعَة.”

Later the other bridesmaids came also, saying, “Lord, lord, open to us.” But he replied, “Truly I tell you, I do not know you.”Keep awake therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 25/01-13: “‘Then the kingdom of heaven will be like this. Ten bridesmaids took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish, and five were wise. When the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them; but the wise took flasks of oil with their lamps. As the bridegroom was delayed, all of them became drowsy and slept. But at midnight there was a shout, “Look! Here is the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.” Then all those bridesmaids got up and trimmed their lamps. The foolish said to the wise, “Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.” But the wise replied, “No! there will not be enough for you and for us; you had better go to the dealers and buy some for yourselves.” And while they went to buy it, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went with him into the wedding banquet; and the door was shut. Later the other bridesmaids came also, saying, “Lord, lord, open to us.” But he replied, “Truly I tell you, I do not know you.”Keep awake therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.”

المَرْأَةَ تَظَلُّ مُرْتَبِطَةً بِرَجُلِهَا مَا دَامَ حَيًّا. فَإِنْ مَاتَ رَجُلُهَا فَهِيَ حُرَّةٌ أَنْ تتَزَوَّجَ مَن تَشَاء، ولكِنْ في الرَّبِّ فَقَط
رسالة القدّيس بولس الأولى إلى أهل قورنتس07/من36حتى40/“يا إِخوتي، إِذَا كَانَ أَحَدٌ، وهوَ في لَهَبِ الشَّبَاب، يَظُنُّ أَنَّهُ قَدْ يُسيءُ إِلى خِطِّيبَتِهِ، وأَنَّهُ لا بُدَّ مِنَ الزَّوَاج، فَلْيَفْعَلْ مَا يُرِيد. إِنَّهُ لا يَخْطَأ: فَلْيَتَزَوَّجَا! لكِنَّ مَنْ قَرَّرَ في قَلْبِهِ وصَمَّم، وهوَ غَيْرُ مُضْطَرّ، بَلْ هوَ ذُو سُلْطَانٍ عَلى إِرَادَتِهِ، وعَزَمَ في قَلْبِهِ أَنْ يَصُونَ خِطِّيبَتَهُ، فَحَسَنًا يَفْعَل. إِذًا فَمَنْ يَتَزَوَّجُ خِطِّيبَتَهُ فَحَسَنًا يَفْعَل، ومَنْ لا يَتَزَوَّجُهَا فأَفْضَلَ يَفْعَل! إِنَّ المَرْأَةَ تَظَلُّ مُرْتَبِطَةً بِرَجُلِهَا مَا دَامَ حَيًّا. فَإِنْ مَاتَ رَجُلُهَا فَهِيَ حُرَّةٌ أَنْ تتَزَوَّجَ مَن تَشَاء، ولكِنْ في الرَّبِّ فَقَط. إِلاَّ أَنَّهَا، في رأْيِي، تَكُونُ أَكْثَرَ غِبْطَة، إِنْ ظَلَّتْ حُرَّة. وأَظُنُّ أَنَّ فِيَّ أَنَا أَيْضًا رُوحَ الله!”.

A wife is bound as long as her husband lives. But if the husband dies, she is free to marry anyone she wishes, only in the Lord
First Letter to the Corinthians 07/36-40: “If anyone thinks that he is not behaving properly towards his fiance’e, if his passions are strong, and so it has to be, let him marry as he wishes; it is no sin. Let them marry. But if someone stands firm in his resolve, being under no necessity but having his own desire under control, and has determined in his own mind to keep her as his fiance’e, he will do well. So then, he who marries his fiance’e does well; and he who refrains from marriage will do better. A wife is bound as long as her husband lives. But if the husband dies, she is free to marry anyone she wishes, only in the Lord. But in my judgement she is more blessed if she remains as she is. And I think that I too have the Spirit of God.”
