1 W hen Jesus had ended this discourse, He said to His disciples,

بَعْدَ أنْ أنهَى يَسُوعُ هَذا الكَلامَ قالَ لِتَلامِيذِهِ:

2 Y ou know that the Passover is in two days—and the Son of Man will be delivered up treacherously to be crucified.

«تَعرِفُونَ أنَّ عِيدَ الفِصْحِ بَعْدَ غَدٍ، وَابْنُ الإنسانِ سَيُسَلَّمُ لِأيدِي أعدائِهِ لِيُصلَبَ.»

3 T hen the chief priests and the elders of the people gathered in the '> open] court of the palace of the high priest, whose name was Caiaphas,

وَكانَ قَدِ اجتَمَعَ كِبارُ الكَهَنَةِ وَشُيُوخُ الشَّعبِ فِي قَصْرِ رَئِيسِ الكَهَنَةِ قِيافا.

4 A nd consulted together in order to arrest Jesus by stratagem secretly and put Him to death.

وَخَطَّطُوا لِلقَبْضِ عَلَى يَسُوعَ بِالخِداعِ وَقَتلِهِ.

5 B ut they said, It must not be during the Feast, for fear that there will be a riot among the people.

وَكانُوا يَقُولُونَ: «لا يَنْبَغِي أنْ نَفعَلَ هَذا خِلالَ العِيدِ، لِنَتَجَنَّبَ الشَّغَبَ بَينَ النّاسِ.» امْرأةٌ تَسكُبُ العِطْرَ عَلَى يَسُوع

6 N ow when Jesus came back to Bethany and was in the house of Simon the leper,

وَبَينَما كانَ يَسُوعُ فِي بَلْدَةِ بَيتِ عَنْيا فِي بَيتِ سِمْعانَ الأبْرَصِ،

7 A woman came up to Him with an alabaster flask of very precious perfume, and she poured it on His head as He reclined at table.

جاءَتِ امْرأةٌ إلَيهِ، وَكانَ مَعَها عِطْرٌ ثَمِينٌ فِي زُجاجَةٍ مِنْ مَرمَرٍ، فَسَكَبَتْها عَلَى رَأسِهِ بَينَما كانَ يَأكُلُ.

8 A nd when the disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, For what purpose is all this waste?

وَعِندَما رَأى تَلامِيذُهُ ذَلِكَ غَضِبُوا وَقالُوا: «لِمَ هَذا الإسْرافُ؟

9 F or this perfume might have been sold for a large sum and the money given to the poor.

كانَ مُمكِناً أنْ يُباعَ هَذا العِطْرُ بِمَبلَغٍ كَبِيْرٍ مِنَ المالِ يُعْطَى لِلفُقَراءِ.»

10 B ut Jesus, fully aware of this, said to them, Why do you bother the woman? She has done a noble (praiseworthy and beautiful) thing to Me.

فَعَرَفَ يَسُوعُ ما كانُوا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِهِ، فَقالَ لَهُمْ: «لِماذا تُزعِجُونَ هَذِهِ المَرأةَ؟ فَقَدْ عَمِلَتْ عَمَلاً رائِعاً لِي.

11 F or you always have the poor among you, but you will not always have Me.

الفُقَراءُ سَيَكُونُونَ عِنْدَكُمْ دائِماً، أمّا أنا فَلَنْ أكُونَ دائِماً مَعَكُمْ.

12 I n pouring this perfume on My body she has done something to prepare Me for My burial.

لَقَدْ سَكَبَتِ العِطْرَ عَلَى جَسَدِي لِتُعِدَّهُ لِلدَفْنِ.

13 T ruly I tell you, wherever this good news (the Gospel) is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will be told also, in memory of her.

أقُولُ لَكُمُ الحَقَّ: حَيثُما أُعلِنَتِ هَذِهِ البِشارَةُ فِي العالَمِ، سَيُحَدَّثُ أيضاً بِما فَعَلَتْهُ هَذِهِ المَرْأةُ، لِيَتَذَكَّرَها الجَمِيعُ.» يَهُوذا الإسْخَريُوطِيّ يَخونُ يَسوع

14 T hen one of the Twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests

حِينَئِذٍ ذَهَبَ أحَدُ الاثْنَي عَشْرَ، وَاسْمُهُ يَهُوذا الإسْخَريُوطِيُّ، إلَى كِبارِ الكَهَنَةِ،

15 A nd said, What are you willing to give me if I hand Him over to you? And they weighed out for and paid to him thirty pieces of silver.

وَقالَ لَهُمْ: «ماذا تُعطُونَني إنْ سَلَّمْتُ يَسُوعَ إلَيكُمْ؟» فَقَدَّمُوا إلَيهِ ثَلاثِينَ قِطعَةً مِنَ الفِضَّةِ.

16 A nd from that moment he sought a fitting opportunity to betray Him.

وَمِنْ تِلْكَ اللَّحظَةِ ابتَدَأ يَهُوذا يَبحَثُ عَنْ فُرصَةٍ مُناسِبَةٍ لِتَسلِيمِ يَسُوعَ إلَيْهِمْ. عَلَى مائِدَةِ الفِصْح

17 N ow on the first day of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and said to Him, Where do You wish us to prepare for You to eat the Passover supper?

وَفِي أوَّلِ أيّامِ عِيدِ الخُبْزِ غَيرِ المُختَمِرِ، جاءَ إلَيهِ التَّلامِيذُ وَقالُوا لَهُ: «أينَ تُرِيدُنا أنْ نُعِدَّ لَكَ طَعامَ الفِصْحِ؟»

18 H e said, Go into the city to a certain man and say to him, The Master says: My time is near; I will keep the Passover at your house with My disciples.

فَقالَ يَسُوعُ: «اذْهَبُوا إلَى فُلانٍ فِي القَريَةِ، وَقُولُوا لَهُ: ‹المُعَلِّمُ يَقُولُ: وَقتِي المُعَيَّنُ قَدِ اقتَرَبَ، وَسَأحتَفِلُ بِالفِصْحِ مَعَ تَلامٍيذِي فِي بَيتِكَ.›»

19 A nd accordingly the disciples did as Jesus had directed them, and they made ready the Passover supper.

فَفَعَلَ التَّلامِيذُ كَما أخبَرَهُمْ يَسُوعُ، وَأعَدُّوا عَشاءَ الفِصْحِ.

20 W hen it was evening, He was reclining at table with the twelve disciples.

وَعِندَما جاءَ المَساءُ، كانَ يَسُوعُ مُتَّكِئاً أمامَ المائِدَةِ مَعَ تَلامِيذِهِ الاثْنَي عَشْرَ.

21 A nd as they were eating, He said, Solemnly I say to you, one of you will betray Me!

وَبَينَما كانُوا يَأكُلُونَ قالَ لَهُمْ: «أقُولُ الحَقَّ لَكُمْ: سَيَخُونُنِي واحِدٌ مِنكُمْ.»

22 T hey were exceedingly pained and distressed and deeply hurt and sorrowful and began to say to Him one after another, Surely it cannot be I, Lord, can it?

فَحَزِنُوا وَابتَدَأوا يَسَألُونَهُ واحِداً بَعدَ الآخَرِ: «أهُوَ أنا ياَ رَبُّ؟»

23 H e replied, He who has dipped his hand in the same dish with Me will betray Me!

فَأجابَ يَسُوعُ: «الَّذِي يَغمِسُ يَدَهُ مَعِي فِي الطَّبَقِ، هُوَ مَنْ يُسَلِّمُنِي.

24 T he Son of Man is going just as it is written of Him; but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better (more profitable and wholesome) for that man if he had never been born!

إنَّ ابنَ الإنسانِ ماضٍ وَفْقاً لِما هُوَ مَكتوبٌ عَنْهُ، لَكِنْ وَيلٌ لِذَلِكَ الرَّجُلِ الَّذِي يَخُونُ ابْنَ الإنسانِ. كانَ خَيراً لَهُ لَوْ أنَّهُ لَمْ يُولَدْ قَطًّ!»

25 J udas, the betrayer, said, Surely it is not I, is it, Master? He said to him, You have stated.

فَسَألَهُ يَهُوذا الَّذِي كانَ سَيَخونُهُ: «أهُوَ أنا يا مُعَلِّمُ؟» فَقالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «أنتَ هُوَ كَما قُلْتَ!» العَشاءُ الرَّبّانِيّ

26 N ow as they were eating, Jesus took bread and, praising God, gave thanks and asked Him to bless it to their use, and when He had broken it, He gave it to the disciples and said, Take, eat; this is My body.

وَبَينَما كانُوا يَأكُلُونَ، أخَذَ خُبزاً وَبارَكَ اللهَ، وَقَسَّمَهُ وَأعطَى التَّلاميذَ وَقالَ: «خُذُوا كُلُوا، فَهَذا هُوَ جَسَدِي.»

27 A nd He took a cup, and when He had given thanks, He gave it to them, saying, Drink of it, all of you;

ثُمَّ أخَذَ كَأسَ نَبيذٍ، وَشَكَرَ، وَأعطاها لَهُمْ وَقالَ: «اشْرَبُوا مِنْ هَذَهِ كُلُّكُمْ.

28 F or this is My blood of the new covenant, which '> ratifies the agreement and] is being poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.

لِأنَّ هَذا هُوَ دَمِي، دَمُ العَهْدِ الَّذِي يُسفَكُ مِنْ أجلِ كَثِيرِينَ، لِمَغفِرَةِ خَطاياهُمْ.

29 I say to you, I shall not drink again of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it with you new and of superior quality in My Father’s kingdom.

وَأقُولُ لَكُمْ إنِّي لَنْ أشرَبَ هَذا النَّبيذَ حَتَّى ذَلِكَ اليَوْمِ الَّذي فِيهِ أشرَبُهُ جَدِيداً فِي مَلَكُوتِ أبِي.»

30 A nd when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ، رَتَّلوا بَعضَ التَراتيلِ، وَخَرَجُوا إلَى جَبَلِ الزَّيتُونِ. يَسُوعُ يُنْبئُ بِإنكارِ بُطْرُس

31 T hen Jesus said to them, You will all be offended and stumble and fall away because of Me this night, for it is written, I will strike the Shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.

ثُمَّ قالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «كُلُّكُمْ سَتَفقِدُونَ إيمانَكُمْ بِي اللَّيلَةَ. لِأنَّهُ مَكتُوبٌ: ‹سَأضْرِبُ الرّاعِي، فَتَتَشَتَّتُ خِرافُ القَطيعِ.›

32 B ut after I am raised up, I will go ahead of you to Galilee.

وَلَكِنْ بَعْدَ أنْ أقُومَ مِنَ المَوْتِ، فَإنِّي سَأسبِقُكُمْ إلَى الجَلِيلِ.»

33 P eter declared to Him, Though they all are offended and stumble and fall away because of You, I will never do so.

فَأجابَهُ بُطرُسُ: «حَتَّى لَو فَقَدَ الجَمِيعُ إيمانَهُمْ بِكَ، فَأنا لا يُمكِنُ أنْ أفقِدَ إيمانِيَ بِكَ.»

34 J esus said to him, Solemnly I declare to you, this very night, before a single rooster crows, you will deny and disown Me three times.

فَقالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «الحَقَّ أقُولُ لَكَ، فِي هَذِهِ اللَيلَةِ، وَقَبلَ أنْ يَصِيحَ الدِّيكُ، سَتُنكِرُنِي ثَلاثَ مَرّاتٍ.»

35 P eter said to Him, Even if I must die with You, I will not deny or disown You! And all the disciples said the same thing.

فَقالَ لَهُ بُطرُسُ: «حَتَّى لَو كانَ عَلَيَّ أنْ أمُوتَ مَعَكَ، فَإنِّي لَنْ أُنكِرَكَ!» وَقالَ جَمِيعُ التَّلامِيذِ مِثلَ هَذا الكَلامِ. يَسُوعُ يُصَلِّي مُنفَرِداً

36 T hen Jesus went with them to a place called Gethsemane, and He told His disciples, Sit down here while I go over yonder and pray.

حِينَئِذٍ ذَهَبَ يَسُوعُ مَعَهُمْ إلَى مَكانٍ يُدعَى جُثْسَيمانِي، وَقالَ لِلتَّلامِيذِ: «اجلِسُوا هُنا بَينَما أذْهَبُ إلَى هُناكَ لِأُصَلِّيَ.»

37 A nd taking with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, He began to show grief and distress of mind and was deeply depressed.

وَأخَذَ مَعَهُ بُطرُسَ وَابْنَي زَبَدِي، وَابتَدَأ يَشعُرُ بِالحُزنِ وَالانزِعاجِ.

38 T hen He said to them, My soul is very sad and deeply grieved, so that I am almost dying of sorrow. Stay here and keep awake and keep watch with Me.

ثُمَّ قالَ لَهُمْ: «حُزنِي شَدِيدٌ جِدّاً حَتَّى إنَّهُ يَكادُ يَقتُلُنِي! ابقُوا هُنا وَاسْهَرُوا مَعِي.»

39 A nd going a little farther, He threw Himself upon the ground on His face and prayed saying, My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from Me; nevertheless, not what I will, but as You will and desire.

وَابتَعَدَ يَسُوعُ عَنْهُمْ قَلِيلاً، وَسَجَدَ وَوَجهُهُ إلَى الأرْضِ وَبَدَأ يُصَلِّي: «يا أبِي، إنْ كانَ مُمكِناً، فَلتَتَجاوَزْنِي هَذِهِ الكَأسُ. لَكِنْ لَيسَ كَماَ أُريدُ أنا، بَلْ كَما تُرِيدُ أنتَ.»

40 A nd He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and He said to Peter, What! Are you so utterly unable to stay awake and keep watch with Me for one hour?

وَجاءَ إلَى تَلامِيذِهِ، فَوَجَدَهُمْ نائِمِينَ، فَقالَ لِبُطرُسَ: «أهَكَذا لَمْ تَقدِرُوا أنْ تَسْهَروا مَعِي ساعَةً واحِدَةً؟

41 A ll of you must keep awake (give strict attention, be cautious and active) and watch and pray, that you may not come into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

اسْهَرُوا وَصَلُّوا لِكَي لا تُجَرَّبُوا. رُوحُكُمْ تَسعَى إلَى ذَلِكَ، أمّا جَسَدُكُمْ فَضَعِيفٌ.»

42 A gain a second time He went away and prayed, My Father, if this cannot pass by unless I drink it, Your will be done.

وَابتَعَدَ ثانِيَةً لِيُصَلِّيَ، فُقالَ: «يا أبِي، إنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ مِنَ المُمْكِنِ عُبُورُ هَذا الكاسِ عَنِّي، بَلْ يَنبَغي أنْ أشرَبَها، فَلْتَكُنْ مَشِيئَتُكَ.»

43 A nd again He came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were weighed down with sleep.

ثُمَّ عادَ ثانِيَةٌ فَوَجَدَهُمْ نِياماً، لِأنَّ النُّعاسَ أثقَلَ عُيُونَهُمْ.

44 S o, leaving them again, He went away and prayed for the third time, using the same words.

فَتَرَكَهُمْ وَذَهَبَ مَرَّةً ثالِثَةً لِيُصَلِّيَ، فَقالَ الكَلِماتِ نَفسَها الَّتِي قالَها أوَّلاً.

45 T hen He returned to the disciples and said to them, Are you still sleeping and taking your rest? Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of especially wicked sinners '> whose way or nature it is to act in opposition to God].

ثُمَّ عادَ إلَى التَّلامِيذِ وَقالَ لَهُمْ: «أما زِلْتُمْ نائِمينَ وَمُستَرِيحينَ؟ ها إنَّ الوَقْتَ قَدْ حانَ، وَسَيُسَلَّمُ ابْنُ الإنسانِ لِأيدِي الخُطاةِ.

46 G et up, let us be going! See, My betrayer is at hand!

قُومُوا وَلنَذهَبْ. ها قَدِ اقتَرَبَ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي خانَنِي.» القَبضُ عَلَى يَسُوع

47 A s He was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, came up, and with him a great crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and elders of the people.

وَبَينَما كانَ ما يَزالُ يَتَكَلَّمُ، ظَهَرَ يَهُوذا أحَدُ الاثْنَي عَشْرَ، وَمَعَهُ جَمْعٌ كَبيرٌ يَحمِلُونَ سُيُوفاً وَهَراواتٍ، قَدْ أرسَلَهُمْ كِبارُ الكَهَنَةِ وَشُيُوخُ الشَّعبِ.

48 N ow the betrayer had given them a sign, saying, The One I shall kiss is the Man; seize Him.

وَكانَ الخائِنُ قَدْ أعطاهُمْ عَلامَةً وَقالَ: «الَّذِي أُقَبِّلُهُ هُوَ الرَّجُلُ المَطلُوبُ، فَاقبِضُوا عَلَيهِ.»

49 A nd he came up to Jesus at once and said, Hail (greetings, good health to You, long life to You), Master! And he embraced Him and kissed Him with warmth and devotion.

فَاقتَرَبَ حالاً مِنْ يَسُوعَ وَقالَ لَهُ: «أُحَيّيكَ يا مُعَلِّمُ!» وَقَبَّلَهُ.

50 J esus said to him, Friend, for what are you here? Then they came up and laid hands on Jesus and arrested Him.

فَقالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «يا صَدِيقُ، اعمَلْ ما جِئْتَ لِأجلِهِ.» حِينَئِذٍ اقتَرَبَوا وَأمسَكُوا بِيَسُوعَ وَقَبَضُوا عَلَيهِ.

51 A nd behold, one of those who were with Jesus reached out his hand and drew his sword and, striking the body servant of the high priest, cut off his ear.

فَمَدَّ أحَدُ الَّذِينَ كانُوا مَعَ يَسُوعَ يَدَهُ، وَاسْتَلَّ سَيفَهُ، وَضَرَبَ عَبْدَ رَئِيسِ الكَهَنَةِ فَقَطَعَ أُذُنَهُ.

52 T hen Jesus said to him, Put your sword back into its place, for all who draw the sword will die by the sword.

فَقالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «أرجِعْ سَيفَكَ إلَى مَكانِهِ. فَكُلُّ مَنْ يَقْتُلُ بِالسَّيفَ، بِالسَّيفِ سَيُقتَلُ.

53 D o you suppose that I cannot appeal to My Father, and He will immediately provide Me with more than twelve legions '> more than 80, 000] of angels?

ألا تُدرِكُونَ أنَّنِي أستَطِيعُ أنْ أدعُوَ الآبَ، وَهُوَ سَيُرسِلُ لِي أكثَرَ مِنِ اثنَتي عَشْرَةَ فِرقَةً مِنَ المَلائِكَةِ حالاً؟

54 B ut how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it must come about this way?

لَكِنْ، إنْ فَعلْتُ، كَيفَ سَتَتَحَقَّقُ الكُتُبُ الَّتي أعَلَنَتْ أنَّ هَذِهِ الأُمورَ سَتَحْدُثُ هَكَذا.»

55 A t that moment Jesus said to the crowds, Have you come out with swords and clubs as against a robber to capture Me? Day after day I was accustomed to sit in the porches and courts of the temple teaching, and you did not arrest Me.

وَفِي تِلْكَ اللَّحظَةِ قالَ يَسُوعُ لِلجُمُوعِ: «هَلْ خَرَجتُمْ عَلَيَّ بِالسُّيُوفِ وَالهَراواتِ كَما تَخرُجُونَ عَلَى مُجرِمٍ؟ كُنتُ أجلِسُ كُلَّ يَومٍ فِي ساحَةِ الهَيكَلِ لِأُعَلِّمَ، وَلَمْ تَقبِضُوا عَلَيَّ!

56 B ut all this has taken place in order that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples deserted Him and, fleeing, escaped.

وَلَكِنَّ هَذا حَدَثَ لِيَتِمَّ ما كَتَبَهُ الأنبِياءُ.» ثُمَّ تَخَلَّى عَنْهُ جَمِيعُ التَّلاميذِ وَهَرَبُوا! يَسُوعُ أمامَ قادَةِ اليَهُود

57 B ut those who had seized Jesus took Him away to Caiaphas, the high priest, where the scribes and the elders had assembled.

بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ، اقْتادَهُ الَّذِينَ قَبَضُوا عَلَيهِ إلَى بَيتِ قِيافا رَئِيسِ الكَهَنَةِ، حَيثُ اجتَمَعَ مُعَلِّمُو الشَّرِيعَةِ وَالشُّيُوخُ.

58 B ut Peter followed Him at a distance, as far as the courtyard of the high priest’s home; he even went inside and sat with the guards to see the end.

أمّا بُطرُسُ فَتَبِعَهُ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ، وَدَخَلَ إلَى ساحَةِ بَيتِ رَئِيسِ الكَهَنَةِ. فَدَخَلَ وَجَلَسَ مَعَ الحُرّاسِ لِيَرَى ماذا سَيَحدُثُ فِي النِّهايَةِ.

59 N ow the chief priests and the whole council (the Sanhedrin) sought to get false witnesses to testify against Jesus, so that they might put Him to death;

وَكانَ كِبارُ الكَهَنَةِ، وَجَمِيعُ أعضاءِ مَجلِسِ اليَهُودِ يَبحَثُونَ عَنْ شَهادَةِ زُورٍ ضِدَّ يَسُوعَ لِكَي يَقتُلُوهُ.

60 B ut they found none, though many witnesses came forward. At last two men came forward

لَكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَجِدُوا، مَعَ أنَّهُ تَقَدَّمَ شُهُودُ زُورٍ كَثِيرُونَ وَقالُوا عَنْهُ أكاذِيبَ. وَأخِيراً تَقَدَّمَ رَجُلانِ،

61 A nd testified, This Fellow said, I am able to tear down the sanctuary of the temple of God and to build it up again in three days.

وَقالا: «هَذا الرَّجُلُ قالَ: ‹أستَطِيعُ أنْ أهدِمَ هَيكَلَ اللهِ وَأبنِيَهُ فِي ثَلاثَةِ أيّامٍ.›»

62 A nd the high priest stood up and said, Have You no answer to make? What about this that these men testify against You?

فَوَقَفَ رَئِيسُ الكَهَنَةِ وَقالَ: «ألَنْ تُدافِعَ عَنْ كُلِّ الاتِّهاماتِ الَّتِي يَتَّهِمُكَ بِها هَذانِ الرَّجُلانِ؟»

63 B ut Jesus kept silent. And the high priest said to Him, I call upon you to swear by the living God, and tell us whether you are the Christ, the Son of God.

أمّا يَسُوعُ فَبَقِيَ صامِتاً. فَقالَ لَهُ رَئِيسُ الكَهَنَةِ: «أُناشِدُكَ بِاسْمِ اللهِ الحَيِّ أنْ تُخبِرنا إنْ كُنْتَ أنتَ المَسِيحَ ابْنَ اللهِ.»

64 J esus said to him, You have stated. More than that, I tell you: You will in the future see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of the Almighty and coming on the clouds of the sky.

فَأجابَهُ يَسُوعُ: «نَعَمْ أنا هُوَ كَما قُلْتَ. وَأقُولُ لَكُمْ: مِنَ اليَومِ فَصاعِداً، سَتَرَوْنَ ابْنَ الإنسانِ جالِساً عَنْ يَمِينِ عَرْشِ اللهِ، وَآتِياً عَلَى سُحُبِ السَّماءِ.»

65 T hen the high priest tore his clothes and exclaimed, He has uttered blasphemy! What need have we of further evidence? You have now heard His blasphemy.

حِينَئِذٍ مَزَّقَ رَئِيسُ الكَهَنَةِ ثِيابَهُ وَقالَ: «لَقَدْ أهَنْتَ اللهَ، فَما الحاجَةُ بَعْدُ إلَى شُهُودٍ؟ فَقَدْ سَمِعْتُمُ الآنَ إهانَتَهُ للهِ.

66 W hat do you think now? They answered, He deserves to be put to death.

فَبِماذا تَحكُمُونَ؟» فَأجابُوهُ: «إنَّهُ يَستَحِقُّ المَوتَ.»

67 T hen they spat in His face and struck Him with their fists; and some slapped Him in the face,

حِينَئِذٍ بَصَقُوا فِي وَجهِهِ، وَضَرَبُوهُ بِقَبْضاتِهِمْ وَلَطَمُوهُ.

68 S aying, Prophesy to us, You Christ (the Messiah)! Who was it that struck You?

وَكانُوا يَقُولُونَ لَهُ: «تَنَبَّأ لَنا أيُّها المَسِيحُ، مَنِ الَّذِي ضَرَبَكَ؟» بُطرُسُ يُنكِرُ يَسوع

69 N ow Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard, and one maid came up to him and said, You were also with Jesus the Galilean!

فِي هَذِهِ الأثناءِ، كانَ بُطرُسُ جالِساً فِي السّاحَةِ فِي الخارِجِ. فَجاءَتْ إلَيهِ خادِمَةُ رَئِيسِ الكَهَنَةِ وَقالَتْ: «أنتَ أيضاً كُنْتَ مَعَ يَسُوعَ الجَلِيلِيِّ.»

70 B ut he denied it falsely before them all, saying, I do not know what you mean.

لَكِنَّ بُطرُسَ أنكَرَ هَذا أمامَ الجَمِيعِ وَقالَ: «لا أفهَمُ ما تَقُولِينَ!»

71 A nd when he had gone out to the porch, another maid saw him, and she said to the bystanders, This fellow was with Jesus the Nazarene!

ثُمَّ خَرَجَ إلَى بَوّابَةِ السّاحَةِ، فَقالَتْ خادِمَةٌ أُخْرَى لِمَنْ كانُوا هُناكَ: «هَذا الرَّجُلُ كانَ مَعَ يَسُوعَ النّاصِرِيِّ.»

72 A nd again he denied it and disowned Him with an oath, saying, I do not know the Man!

فَأنكَرَ بُطرُسُ ذَلِكَ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى، وَأقسَمَ وَقالَ: «إنِّي لا أعرِفُ هَذا الرَّجُلَ.»

73 A fter a little while, the bystanders came up and said to Peter, You certainly are one of them too, for even your accent betrays you.

وَبَعْدَ قَلِيلٍ، جاءَ إلَيهِ الواقِفِونَ هُناكَ وَقالُوا لَهُ: «أنتَ فِعلاً واحِدٌ مِنْهُمْ، فَلَهجَتُكَ تَكشِفُ أنَّكَ جَلِيلِيٌّ.»

74 T hen Peter began to invoke a curse on himself and to swear, I do not even know the Man! And at that moment a rooster crowed.

حِينَئِذٍ ابتَدَأ يَلْعَنُ وَيَحلِفُ وَيَقولُ: «أنِّي لا أعرِفُ هَذا الرَّجُلَ.» وَفِي الحالِ صاحَ الدِّيكُ.

75 A nd Peter remembered Jesus’ words, when He had said, Before a single rooster crows, you will deny and disown Me three times. And he went outside and wept bitterly.

حِينَئِذٍ تَذَكَّرَ بُطرُسُ الكَلامَ الَّذِي قالَهُ يَسُوعُ لَهُ: «سَتُنكِرُنِي ثَلاثَ مَرّاتٍ قَبلَ أنْ يَصِيحَ الدِّيكُ،» فَخَرَجَ وَبَكَى بِمَرارَةٍ شَدِيدَةٍ.
