1 A nd the whole multitude of them arose, and led him unto Pilate.

فَقامَتِ الجَماعَةُ كُلُّها، وَأخَذُوهُ إلَى بِيلاطُسَ.

2 A nd they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Cæsar, saying that he himself is Christ a King.

وَبَدَأُوا يُوَجِّهُونَ إلَيهِ الاتِّهاماتِ وَيَقولونَ: «أمسَكْنا بِهِ وَهُوَ يُضَلِّلُ شَعبَنا. إنَّهُ يُعارِضُ دَفعَ الضَّرائِبِ إلَى قَيصَرَ، وَيَقُولُ إنَّهُ هُوَ نَفسُهُ المَسِيحُ المَلِكُ.»

3 A nd Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest it.

فَسَألَهُ بِيلاطُسُ: «هَلْ أنتَ مَلِكُ اليَهُودِ؟» فَأجابَهُ يَسُوعُ: «هُوَ كَما قُلْتَ بِنَفسِكَ.»

4 T hen said Pilate to the chief priests and to the people, I find no fault in this man.

فَقالَ بِيلاطُسُ لِكِبارِ الكَهَنَةِ وَجُمُوعِ النّاسِ: «لا أجِدُ أساساً لِأيَّةِ إدانَةٍ لِهَذا الرَّجُلِ.»

5 A nd they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galilee to this place.

لَكِنَّهُمْ أكَّدُوا وَقالوا: «إنَّهُ يُهَيِّجُ النّاسَ فِي كُلِّ إقلَيمِ اليَهُودِيَّةِ بِتَعالِيمِهِ. لَقَدْ بَدَأ فِي إقلِيمِ الجَلِيلِ، وَها قَدْ وَصَلَ إلَى هُنا.» بِيلاطُسُ يُرسِلُ يَسُوعَ إلَى هِيرُودُس

6 W hen Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a Galilæan.

فَلَمّا سَمِعَ بِيلاطُسُ هَذا، سَألَ إنْ كانَ الرَّجُلُ جَلِيلِيّاً.

7 A nd as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem at that time.

وَعِندَما عَلِمَ أنَّهُ تَحتَ نِطاقِ سُلطَةِ هِيرُودُسَ، أرسَلَهُ إلَى هِيرُودُسَ الَّذي كانَ فِي مَدينَةِ القُدسِ فِي ذَلِكَ الوَقتِ.

8 A nd when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to have seen some miracle done by him.

وَعِندَما رَأى هِيرُودُسُ يَسُوعَ سُرَّ كَثِيراً، فَقَدْ سَمِعَ عَنهُ الكَثِيرَ، وَكانَ يُرِيدُ أنْ يَراهُ مُنذُ مُدَّةٍ طَوِيلَةٍ، وَيَأمَلُ أنْ يُظْهِرَ أمامَهُ بُرْهاناً مُعجِزِيّاً.

9 T hen he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing.

فَطَرَحَ هِيرُودُسُ عَلَى يَسُوعَ أسئِلَةً كَثِيرَةً، أمّا يَسُوعَ فَلَمْ يُعطِهِ أيَّ جَوابٍ.

10 A nd the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him.

وَكانَ كِبارُ الكَهَنَةِ وَمُعَلِّمُو الشَّرِيعَةِ واقِفِينَ هُناكَ، وَهُمْ يَتَّهِمُونَهُ مَملُوئِينَ غَيظاً.

11 A nd Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate.

كَما عامَلَ هِيرُودُسُ وَجُنُودُهُ يَسُوعَ باحتِقارٍ، وَسَخِرُوا بِهِ. ثُمَّ وَضَعُوا عَلَيهِ رِداءً فاخِراً، وَأرسَلُوهُ ثانِيَةً إلَى بِيلاطُسَ.

12 A nd the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before they were at enmity between themselves.

وَفِي ذَلِكَ اليَومِ تَصالَحَ هِيرُودُسُ وَبِيلاطُسُ، وَكانا قَبلَ ذَلِكَ عَدُوَّينِ. ضَرُورَةُ مَوتِ يَسُوع

13 A nd Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,

وَدَعا بِيلاطُسُ كِبارَ الكَهَنَةِ وَالقادَةَ وَالشَّعْبَ، وَقالَ لَهُمْ:

14 s aid unto them, Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that perverteth the people: and, behold, I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him:

«لَقَدْ أحضَرتُمْ هَذا الرَّجُلَ لِأنَّهُ يُحَرِّضُ الشَّعبَ عَلَى القادَةِ. وَقَدِ استَجوَبتُهُ أمامَكُمْ، فَلَمْ أجِدْ أساساً لِلتُّهَمِ الَّتِي وَجَّهتُمُوها إلَيهِ.

15 n o, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing worthy of death is done unto him.

وَلا وَجَدَ هِيرُودُسُ شَيئاً مِنْ هَذا أيضاً لِأنَّهُ أعادَهُ إلَينا. وَهُوَ، كَما تَرَونَ، لَمْ يَفعَلْ شَيئاً يَستَحِقُّ عَلَيهِ عُقُوبَةَ المَوتِ.

16 I will therefore chastise him, and release him.

لِهَذا سَآمُرُ بِجَلدِهِ ثُمَّ أُطلِقُ سَراحَهُ.»

17 ( For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.)

إذْ كانَ يَنبَغِي أنْ يُطلِقَ بِيلاطُسُ للنّاسِ سَجيناً في كُلِّ فِصْحٍ.

18 A nd they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas:

لَكِنَّهُمْ صَرَخُوا جَمِيعاً مَعاً: «اقتُلهُ! وَأطلِقْ لَنا باراباسَ!»

19 ( who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.)

وَكانَ باراباسُ قَدْ أُلقِيَ فِي السِّجنِ بِسَبَبِ تَمَرُّدٍ تَسَبَّبَ فِيهِ فِي المَدِينَةِ، وَلِأنَّهُ قاتِلٌ.

20 P ilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to them.

وَتَحَدَّثَ إلَيْهِمْ بِيلاطُسُ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى، لِأنَّهُ أرادَ أنْ يُطلِقَ سَراحَ يَسُوعَ.

21 B ut they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him.

لَكِنَّهُمْ وَاصَلُوا الصُّراخَ: «اصلِبهُ! اصلِبهُ!»

22 A nd he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let him go.

فَقالَ لَهُمْ بِيلاطُسُ مَرَّةً ثالِثَةً: «لَكِنْ أيَّةَ جَرِيمَةٍ قَدِ ارتَكَبَ هَذا الرَّجُلُ؟ فَأنا لَمْ أجِدْ شَيئاً ضِدَّهُ يَستَحِقُّ عُقُوبَةَ المَوتِ. وَلِهَذا سَآمُرُ بجَلدِهِ ثُمَّ أُطلِقُ سَراحَهُ.»

23 A nd they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed.

غَيرَ أنَّهُمْ وَاصَلُوا الصُّراخَ بِصَوتٍ عالٍ مُطالِبينَ بِصَلبِهِ. وَانتَصَرَتْ صَرَخاتُهُمْ فِي نِهايَةِ الأمرِ.

24 A nd Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required.

فَقَرَّرَ بِيلاطُسُ المُوافَقَةَ عَلَى طَلَبِهِمْ.

25 A nd he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will.

وَأطلَقَ سَراحَ الرَّجُلِ المِسجُونِ بِسَبَبِ التَّمَرُّدِ المُسَلَّحِ وَالقَتلِ. وَهُوَ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي اختاروهُ. وَسَلَّمَ بِيلاطُسُ يَسُوعَ لَهُمْ لِكَي يَفعَلُوا بِهِ ما يُرِيدُونَ. يَسُوعُ عَلَى الصَّلِيب

26 A nd as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus.

وَبيَنَما كانُوا ماضِينَ بِهِ، أمسَكُوا رَجُلاً اسْمُهُ سِمعانُ القَيرِينيُّ، وَهُوَ قادِمٌ مِنَ الحَقُولِ. فَوَضَعُوا الصَّلِيبَ عَلَيهِ، وَجَعَلُوهُ يَحمِلُهُ خَلفَ يسُوعَ.

27 A nd there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented him.

وَكانَ جَمعٌ كَبِيرٌ مِنَ النّاسِ يَتبَعُهُ، بِمَنْ فِيهِمْ بَعضُ النِّساءِ اللَّواتِي كُنَّ يَنُحنَ وَيُوَلوِلنَ عَلَيهِ.

28 B ut Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.

فَالتَفَتَ يَسوعُ إلَيهِنَّ وَقالَ: «يا بَناتِ مَدينَةِ القُدْسِ، لا تَبكِينَ عَلَيَّ، بَلِ ابكِينَ عَلَى أنفُسِكُنَّ وَعَلَى أبنائِكُنَّ.

29 F or, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck.

إذْ سَتَأتِي أيّامٌ يَقُولُ فِيها النّاسُ: ‹هَنِيئاً لِلنِّساءِ الَّلواتِي لا يَحمِلنَ وَلَمْ يُنْجِبنَ وَلَمْ يُرْضِعْنَ.›

30 T hen shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us.

حِينَئِذٍ سَيَقُولُونَ لِلجِبالِ: ‹اسقُطِي عَلَينا!› وَسَيَقُولُونَ لِلتِّلالِ: ‹غَطِّينا.›

31 F or if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?

فَإنْ كانَ النّاسُ يَفعَلُونَ هَكَذا فِي أيّامِ الخَيرِ، فَماذا يَكُونُ الحالُ فِي الأيّامِ الصَّعبَةِ؟»

32 A nd there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be put to death.

وَاقتِيدَ رَجُلانِ آخَرانِ مَعَ يَسُوعَ لِيُعدَما، وَكانا مُجرِمَينِ.

33 A nd when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.

وَلَمّا وَصَلُوا إلَى المَكانِ الَّذِي يُدعَى «الجُمجُمَةَ» صَلَبُوهُ مَعَ المُجرِمَينِ، فَصُلِبَ أحَدُهماُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ، وَالآخَرُ عَنْ يَسارِهِ.

34 T hen said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.

ثُمَّ قالَ يَسُوعُ: «يا أبِي، سامِحهُمْ لِأنَّهُمْ لا يَدرُونَ ما يَفعَلُونَ.» وَاقتَسَمُوا مَلابِسَهُ بِإلقاءِ القُرعَةِ.

35 A nd the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the chosen of God.

وَوَقَفَ النّاسُ هُناكَ يَتَفَرَّجُونَ. وَسَخِرَ بِهِ القادَةُ وَقالُوا: «لَقَدْ خَلَّصَ غَيرَهُ، فَلْيُخَلِّصْ نَفسَهُ إنْ كانَ هُوَ حَقّاً المَسِيحَ مُختارَ اللهِ.»

36 A nd the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar,

كَما تَقَدَّمَ الجُنُودُ أيضاً وَاستَهزَأُوا بِهِ، وَقَدَّمُوا لَهُ خَلّا مَمزُوجاً بِخَمرٍ،

37 a nd saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.

وَقالوا: «إنْ كُنتَ مَلِكَ اليَهُودِ، خَلِّصْ نَفسَكَ!»

38 A nd a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

وَكانَتْ فَوقَهُ لافِتَةٌ مَكتُوبٌ عَلَيها: «هَذا هُوَ مَلِكُ اليَهُودِ.»

39 A nd one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.

وَأخَذَ أحَدُ المُجرِمَينِ المُعَلَّقَيْنِ إلَى جِوارِهِ يُهِينُهُ وَيَقولُ: «ألَستَ المَسِيحَ؟ فَخَلِّصْ نَفسَكَ وَخَلِّصْنا مَعَكَ!»

40 B ut the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?

لَكِنَّ الآخَرَ وَبَّخَهُ وَقالَ: «ألا تَتَّقِي اللهَ؟ فَأنتَ تَحْتَ العُقُوبَةِ نَفسِها،

41 A nd we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.

أمّا عُقُوبَتُنا فَلَها ما يُبَرِّرهاُ، إذْ أنَّنا نَنالُ ما نَستَحِقُّهُ جَزاءَ ما فَعَلناهُ. أمّا هَذا الرَّجُلُ، فَلَمْ يَفعَلْ شَيئاً خاطِئاً.»

42 A nd he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.

ثُمَّ قالَ: «يا يَسُوعُ، اذكُرنِي حِينَ تَبدَأُ مُلكَكَ.»

43 A nd Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.

فَقالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «أقُولُ الحَقَّ لَكَ، اليَومَ سَتَكُونُ مَعِي فِي الفِردَوسِ.» مَوتُ يَسُوع

44 A nd it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.

وَكانَتِ السّاعَةُ نَحْوَ الثّانِيَةَ عَشْرَةَ ظُهراً. وَخَيَّمَ الظَّلامُ عَلَى كُلِّ الأرْضِ حَتَّى السّاعَةِ الثّالِثَةِ بَعدَ الظُّهرِ.

45 A nd the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.

فَلَمْ تُرسِلِ الشَّمسُ ضَوْءَها طَوالَ ذَلِكَ الوَقتِ. وَانشَقَّتْ سِتارَةُ الهَيكَلِ إلَى نِصفَينِ.

46 A nd when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.

وَصَرَخَ يَسُوعُ بِصَوتٍ عالٍ: «يا أبِي، ‹أستَودِعُ رُوحِي بَينَ يَدَيكَ.›» وَلَمّا قالَ هَذا أسلَمَ الرُّوحَ.

47 N ow when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man.

وَرَأى الضّابِطُ الرُّومانِيُّ ما حَدَثَ، فَسَبَّحَ اللهَ، وَقالَ: «لا رَيبَ في أنَّ هَذا الرَّجُلَ كانَ بَريئاً.»

48 A nd all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned.

وَرَأى كُلُّ النّاسِ الَّذِينَ تَجَمهَرُوا الأشياءَ الَّتِي حَصَلَتْ، فَمَضُوا وَهُمْ يَقرَعُونَ عَلَى صُدُورِهِمْ.

49 A nd all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things.

أمّا كُلُّ الَّذِينَ عَرَفُوهُ، فَقَدْ وَقَفُوا مِنْ بَعِيدٍ يُراقِبُونَ كُلَّ ما يَحدُثُ. وَكانَ مِنْ بَينِهِمُ النِّساءُ اللَّواتِي تَبِعنَهُ مِنَ الجَلِيلِ. يُوسُفُ الرّامِي يَدفِنُ يَسُوع

50 A nd, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counsellor; and he was a good man, and a just:

وَكانَ هُناكَ رَجُلٌ صالِحٌ وَمُستَقِيمٌ اسْمُهُ يُوسُفُ، وَهُوَ عُضوٌ فِي المَجلِسِ اليَهُودِيِّ،

51 ( the same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them;) he was of Arimathæa, a city of the Jews: who also himself waited for the kingdom of God.

إلّا أنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَتَّفِقُ مَعَهُمْ فِي ما قَرَّرُوهُ وَفَعَلُوهُ. كانَ يُوسُفُ مِنْ بَلدَةِ الرّامَةِ الَّتِي فِي إقليمِ الجَلِيلِ، وَكانَ يَتَشَوَّقُ إلَى أنْ يَبدَأ مُلْكُ اللهِ.

52 T his man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.

فَذَهَبَ إلَى بِيلاطُسَ وَطَلَبَ مِنهُ جَسَدَ يَسُوعَ.

53 A nd he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid.

فَأنزَلَهُ عَنِ الصَّلِيبِ وَلَفَّهُ بِكِتّانٍ، ثُمَّ وَضَعَهُ فِي قَبرٍ مَنحُوتٍ فِي الصَّخرِ، لَمْ يَكُنْ قَدْ وُضِعَ أحَدٌ فيهِ مِنْ قَبلُ.

54 A nd that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on.

حَدَثَ ذَلِكَ يَومَ الاسْتِعدادِ للسَّبتِ الَّذي كانَ وَشيكاً.

55 A nd the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid.

أمّا النَّساءُ اللَّواتِي كُنَّ قَدْ أتَينَ مَعَ يَسُوعَ مِنَ الجَلِيلِ، فَقَدْ تَبِعْنَ يُوسُفَ، وَرَأينَ القَبرَ، وَكَيفَ وُضِعَ الجَسَدُ فِيهِ.

56 A nd they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.

ثُمَّ عُدنَ وَأعدَدْنَ عُطُوراً وَزُيُوتاً خاصَّةً لِجَسَدِ المَسِيحِ. وَفِي السَّبتِ استَرَحنَ حَسَبَ وَصِيَّةِ الشَّرِيعَةِ.
