1 A nd when it was morning all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus so that they might put him to death.

وَفِي صَباحِ اليَومِ التّالِي، اجتَمَعَ كِبارُ الكَهَنَةِ وَشُيُوخُ الشَّعبِ، وَتَشاوَرُوا لِكَي يَقتُلُوا يَسُوعَ.

2 A nd having bound him they led him away, and delivered him up to Pontius Pilate, the governor.

فَقَيَّدُوهُ وَاقتادُوهُ وَسَلَّمُوهُ إلَى الوالي بِيلاطُسَ. يَهُوذا يَقتُلُ نَفسَه

3 T hen Judas, who delivered him up, seeing that he had been condemned, filled with remorse, returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders,

فَلَمّا رَأى يَهُوذا الَّذِي خانَ يَسُوعَ، أنَّهُمْ قَرَّروا الحُكْمَ عَلَى يَسُوعَ بِالمَوْتِ، نَدِمَ عَلَى ماَ فَعَلَهُ. فَأعادَ الثَّلاثِينَ قِطعَةً مِنَ الفِضَّةِ إلَى كِبارِ الكَهَنَةِ وَالشُّيُوخِ،

4 s aying, I have sinned having delivered up guiltless blood. But they said, What is that to us? see thou.

وَقالَ لَهُمْ: «قَدْ أخطَأتُ بِتَسلِيمِي شَخصاً بَرِيئاً لِيُقتَلَ.» فَقالُوا لَهُ: «ما عَلاقَةُ هَذا بِنا؟ تَدَبَّرْ هَذا الأمْرَ بِنَفسِكَ.»

5 A nd having cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, he left the place, and went away and hanged himself.

فَألقَى يَهُوذا قِطَعَ النَّقْدِ فِي الهَيكَلِ ثُمَّ غادَرَ، وَذَهَبَ وَشَنَقَ نَفسَهُ.

6 A nd the chief priests took the pieces of silver and said, It is not lawful to cast them into the Corban, since it is price of blood.

فَأخَذَ كِبارُ الكَهَنَةِ قِطَعَ النَّقْدِ وَقالُوا: «لَيسَ مَسمُوحاً بِأنْ نَضَعَ هَذا المالَ فِي خَزِينَةِ الهَيكَلِ لِأنَّهُ ثَمَنُ حَياةِ إنسانٍ.»

7 A nd having taken counsel, they bought with them the field of the potter for a burying-ground for strangers.

فَقَرَّرُوا أنْ يَشتَرُوا بِهِ حَقلَ الفَخّارِيِّ لِيَكونَ مَقبَرَةً لِلغُرَباءِ.

8 W herefore that field has been called Blood-field unto this day.

وَلِهَذا يُعرَفُ الحَقلُ بِاسْمِ «حَقلِ الدَّمِ» إلَى يَومِنا هَذا.

9 T hen was fulfilled that which was spoken through Jeremias the prophet, saying, And I took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was set a price on, whom of the sons of Israel had set a price on,

وَبِهَذا تَمَّ ما قالَهُ اللهُ عَلَى لِسانِ إرمِيا النَّبِيِّ: «أخَذُوا الثَّلاثِينَ قِطعَةً مِنَ الفِضَّةِ، وَهُوَ الثَّمَنُ الَّذِي اتَّفَقَ بَنو إسْرائِيلَ عَلَى دَفعِهِ.

10 a nd they gave them for the field of the potter, according as Lord commanded me.

وَاشتروا بِهِ حَقلِ الفَخّارِيِّ، كَما أمَرَنِي الرَّبُّ.» يَسُوعُ أمامَ بِيلاطُس

11 B ut Jesus stood before the governor. And the governor questioned him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said to him, Thou sayest.

وَوَقَفَ يَسُوعُ أمامَ الوالِي، فَسَألَهُ: «هَلْ أنتَ مَلِكُ اليَهُودِ؟» فَقالَ يَسُوعُ: «هُوَ كَما قُلْتَ بِنَفسِكَ.»

12 A nd when he was accused of the chief priests and the elders, he answered nothing.

وَعِندَما كانَ كِبارُ الكَهَنَةِ وَالشُّيُوخُ يَشتَكُونَ عَلَيهِ لَمْ يِنطِقْ بِشَيءٍ.

13 T hen says Pilate to him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee?

ثُمَّ سَألَهُ بِيلاطُسُ: «ألا تَسمَعُ هَذِهِ التُّهَمَ الكَثِيرَةَ الَّتِي يَتَّهِمُونَكَ بِها؟»

14 A nd he answered him not so much as one word, so that the governor wondered exceedingly.

وَلَكِنَّ يَسُوعَ لَمْ يُعطِ بيلاطُسَ رَدّاً علَى أيِّ كَلامٍ اتَّهَموهُ بِهِ. فَكانَ بِيلاطُسُ يَتَعَجَّبُ مِنْ صَمتِهِ. فَشَلُ بِيلاطُسَ في إطلاقِ يَسُوع

15 N ow at feast the governor was accustomed to release one prisoner to the crowd, whom they would.

وَكانَ الوالِي مُعتاداً فِي عِيدِ الفِصْحِ أنْ يُطلِقَ للنّاسِ سَجِيناً يَختارونَهُ.

16 A nd they had then a notable prisoner, named Barabbas.

وَكانَ هُناكَ سَجِينٌ مَشهُورٌ بِشَرِّهِ، اسْمُهُ باراباسُ.

17 T hey therefore being gathered together, Pilate said to them, Whom will ye that I release to you, Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?

فعِندَما اجتَمَعَ النّاسُ، قالَ بِيلاطُسُ لَهُمْ: «مَنْ تُرِيدُونَ أنْ أُطلِقَ لَكُمْ: يَسُوعَ المَدعُوَّ المَسِيحَ، أمْ باراباسَ؟»

18 F or he knew that they had delivered him up through envy.

فَقَدْ عَرَفَ بِيلاطُسُ أنَّهُمْ سَلَّمُوا يَسُوعَ إلَيهِ بِسَبَبِ حَسَدِهِمْ.

19 B ut, as he was sitting on the judgment-seat, his wife sent to him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that righteous; for I have suffered to-day many things in a dream because of him.

وَبَينَما كانَ بِيلاطُسُ جالِساً عَلَى كُرسِيِّ القَضاءِ، أرسَلَتْ زَوجَتُهُ إلَيهِ رِسالَةً تَقُولُ: «لا تَفعَلْ شَرّاً بِهَذا الرَّجُلِ البَرِيءِ، لِأنِّي كُنتُ مُنزَعِجَةً طَوالَ اللَّيلِ بِسَبَبِ حُلْمٍ يَخُصُّهُ.»

20 B ut the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds that they should beg for Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.

وَلَكِنَّ كِبارَ الكَهَنَةِ وَالشُّيُوخَ أقنَعُوا جُمُوعَ النّاسِ بِأنْ يَطلُبُوا إطلاقَ سَراحِ باراباسَ، وَقَتلَ يَسُوعَ.

21 A nd the governor answering said to them, Which of the two will ye that I release unto you? And they said, Barabbas.

فَقالَ الوالِي: «أيُّ الاثنَينِ تُرِيدُونَ أنْ أُطلِقَ لَكُمْ؟» فَقالُوا: «باراباسَ.»

22 P ilate says to them, What then shall I do with Jesus, who is called Christ? They all say, Let him be crucified.

فَسَألَهُمْ بِيلاطُسُ: «فَماذا أصنَعُ بِيَسُوعَ المَدعُوِّ المَسِيحِ؟» فَأجابُوا جَمِيعاً: «فَلْيُصلَبْ.»

23 A nd the governor said, What evil then has he done? But they cried more than ever, saying, Let him be crucified.

فَقالَ لَهُمْ بِيلاطُسُ: «لِماذا؟ ما جَريمَتُهُ؟» لَكِنَّهُمْ صَرَخُوا أكثَرَ: «لِيُصلَبْ.»

24 A nd Pilate, seeing that it availed nothing, but that rather a tumult was arising, having taken water, washed his hands before the crowd, saying, I am guiltless of the blood of this righteous one: see ye.

وَلَمّا رَأى بِيلاطُسُ أنْ لا فائِدَةَ مِنْ مُحاوَلَتِهِ، بَلْ إنَّ الفَوضَى قَدْ بَدَأتْ، أخَذَ بَعضَ الماءِ وَغَسَلَ بِهِ يَدَيهِ أمامَ الجَمْعِ وَقالَ: «أنا غَيرُ مَسؤُولٍ عَنْ مَوتِ هَذا الرَّجُلِ، إنَّها مَسؤُولِيَّتُكُمْ أنتُمْ.»

25 A nd all the people answering said, His blood on us and on our children.

فَقالَ جَمِيعُ الشَّعبِ: «دَمُهُ عَلَينا وَعَلَى أولادِنا.»

26 T hen he released to them Barabbas; but Jesus, having scourged, he delivered up that he might be crucified.

حِينَئِذٍ أطلَقَ بِيلاطُسُ باراباسَ لَهُمْ، وَأمَرَ بِأنْ يُجلَدَ يَسُوعُ، وَأسلَمَهُ لِيُصلَبَ. الجُنُودُ يَستَهزِئُونَ بِيَسُوع

27 T hen the soldiers of the governor, having taken Jesus with to the praetorium, gathered against him the whole band,

ثُمَّ اقْتادَ جُنُودُ الوالِي يَسُوعَ إلَى قَصْرِ الوِلايَةِ، وَجَمَعُوا عَلَيهِ كَتيبَةُ الحُرّاسِ،

28 a nd having taken off his garment, put on him a scarlet cloak;

فَنَزَعُوا ثِيابَهُ ثُمَّ ألبَسُوهُ رِداءً قِرمُزيَ اللَّونِ.

29 a nd having woven a crown out of thorns, they put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and, bowing the knee before him, they mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!

وَجَدَلُوا لَهُ تاجاً مِنْ أغصانٍ شائِكَةٍ وَوَضَعُوهُ عَلَى رَأسِهِ، وَوَضَعُوا قَصَبَةً فِي يَدِهِ اليُمنَى، وَسَجَدُوا أمامَهُ مُستَهزِئينَ وَهُمْ يَقولونَ: «يَعيشُ مَلِكُ اليَهُودِ!»

30 A nd having spit upon him, they took the reed and beat on his head.

ثُمَّ بَصَقُوا عَلَيهِ، وَأخَذُوا القَصَبَةَ مِنْ يَدِهِ، وَبَدأوا يَضْرِبُونَهُ عَلَى رَأسِهِ.

31 A nd when they had mocked him, they took the cloak off him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him away to crucify.

وَلَمّا فَرَغُوا مِنَ السُّخرِيَةِ بِهِ، نَزَعُوا عَنْهُ الثَّوبَ، وَألبَسُوهُ ثِيابَهُ، وَخَرَجُوا بِهِ لِيَصلِبُوهُ. يَسُوعُ عَلَى الصَّلِيب

32 A nd as they went forth they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name; him they compelled to go that he might bear his cross.

فَلَمّا خَرَجُوا، وَجَدُوا رَجُلاً مِنْ مَدِينَةِ قِيرِينَ اسْمُهُ سِمْعانُ، فَأجبَرُوهُ عَلَى حَملِ الصَّلِيبِ.

33 A nd having come to a place called Golgotha, which means Place of a skull,

وَعِندَما وَصَلُوا إلَى مَكانٍ يُعرَفُ بِاسْمِ «الجُلْجُثَةَ،» أي «مَكانَ الجُمْجُمَةِ،»

34 t hey gave to him to drink vinegar mingled with gall; and having tasted, he would not drink.

أعطُوا يَسُوعَ نَبيذاً مَمزُوجاً بِمادَةٍ مُرَّةٍ لِيَشْرَبَهُ. فَلَمّا ذاقَهُ، رَفَضَ أنْ يَشْرَبَ.

35 A nd having crucified him, they parted his clothes amongst, casting lots.

وَلَمّا صَلَبُوا يَسُوعَ، قَسَّمُوا ثِيابَهُ عَلَيهِمْ، وَألقَوْا قُرعَةً بَينَهُمْ.

36 A nd sitting down, they kept guard over him there.

ثُمَّ جَلَسُوا هُناكَ يَحرُسُونَهُ.

37 A nd they set up over his head his accusation written: This is Jesus, the King of the Jews.

وَعَلَّقُوا فَوقَ رَأسِهِ لافِتَةً كُتِبَ عَلَيها: «هَذا يَسُوعُ، مَلِكُ اليَهُودِ،» بِاعتِبارِها تُهْمَتَهُ.

38 T hen are crucified with him two robbers, one on the right hand and one on the left.

وَصُلِبَ مَعَ يَسوعَ مُجرِمانِ، واحِدٌ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَآخَرُ عَنْ يَسارِهِ.

39 B ut the passers-by reviled him, shaking their heads

وَكانَ المارُّونَ يَشْتِمُونَهُ، وَيَهُزُّونَ رُؤُوسَهُمْ

40 a nd saying, Thou that destroyest the temple and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou art Son of God, descend from the cross.

وَيَقولونَ: «أنتَ يا مَنْ سَتَهدِمُ الهَيكَلَ وَتَبنِيهِ فِي ثَلاثَةِ أيّامٍ، إنْ كُنتَ ابْنَ اللهِ، فَخَلِّصْ نَفسَكَ، وَانزِلْ عَنِ الصَّلِيبِ!»

41 i n like manner the chief priests also, mocking, with the scribes and elders, said,

وَكَذَلِكَ سَخِرَ بِهِ كِبارُ الكَهَنَةِ وَمُعَلِّمُو الشَّرِيعَةِ وَالشُّيُوخُ وَقالُوا:

42 H e saved others, himself he cannot save. He is King of Israel: let him descend now from the cross, and we will believe on him.

«خَلَّصَ غَيرَهُ، لَكِنَّهُ لا يَستِطِيعُ أنْ يُخَلِّصَ نَفْسَهُ! هُوَ مَلِكَ بَني إسْرائِيلَ! فَلْيَنزِلْ عَنِ الصَّلِيبِ الآنَ فَنُؤْمِنَ بِهِ!

43 H e trusted upon God; let him save him now if he will him. For he said, I am Son of God.

وَضَعَ ثِقَتَهُ بِاللهِ، فَلْيُنقِذْهُ اللهُ الآنَ إنْ أرادَهُ فِعلاً. أفَلَمْ يَقُلْ: ‹أنا ابْنُ اللهِ›؟»

44 A nd the robbers also who had been crucified with him cast the same reproaches on him.

وَكَذَلِكَ المُجرِمانِ المَصلُوبانِ مَعْهُ كانا يَشتِمانِهِ بِكَلامٍ مُشابِهٍ. مَوتُ يَسُوع

45 N ow from sixth hour there was darkness over the whole land until ninth hour;

وَمِنَ السّاعَةِ الثّانِيَةَ عَشْرَةَ ظُهْراً، خَيَّمَ الظَّلامُ عَلَى كُلِّ الأرْضِ حَتَّى السّاعَةِ الثّالِثَةِ بَعدَ الظُّهرِ.

46 b ut about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

وَنَحْوَ السّاعَةِ الثّالِثَةِ، صَرَخَ يَسُوعُ بِصَوتٍ عالٍ وَقالَ: «إيلِي، إيلِي، لَما شَبَقْتَنِي؟» أي: «إلَهي، إلَهي، لِماذا تَرَكْتَنِي؟»

47 A nd some of those who stood there, when they heard, said, This calls for Elias.

وَلَمّا سَمِعَهُ بَعضُ الواقِفِينَ هُناكَ، قالُوا: «إنَّهُ يُنادِي إيلِيّا!»

48 A nd immediately one of them running and getting a sponge, having filled with vinegar and fixed on a reed, gave him to drink.

ثُمَّ أسرَعَ أحَدُ الواقِفِينَ هُناكَ، وَأخَذَ إسْفَنجَةً وَغَمَسَها بِالخَلِّ، وَوَضَعَها عَلَى قَصَبَةٍ طَويلَةٍ، وَقَدَّمَها لَهُ لِيَشْرَبَ.

49 B ut the rest said, Let be; let us see if Elias comes to save him.

أمّا الباقُونَ فَكانُوا يَقُولُونَ: «لِنَنتَظِرْ وَنَرَ إنْ كانَ إيلِيّا سَيَأتِي لِيُنقِذَهُ!»

50 A nd Jesus, having again cried with a loud voice, gave up the ghost.

ثُمَّ صَرَخَ يَسُوعُ ثانِيَةً بِصَوتٍ مُرتَفِعٍ، وَأسلَمَ الرُّوحَ.

51 A nd lo, the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom, and the earth was shaken, and the rocks were rent,

فَانشَقَّتْ سِتارَةُ الهَيكَلِ إلَى نِصْفَينِ مِنْ فَوقٍ إلَى أسفَلِ، وَاهتَزَّتِ الأرْضُ، وَتَشَقَّقَتِ الصُّخُورُ،

52 a nd the tombs were opened; and many bodies of the saints fallen asleep arose,

وَانفَتَحَتِ القُبُورُ، وَقامَتْ أجسادُ كَثِيرِينَ مِنَ المؤمِنينَ المُقَدَّسينَ الَّذِينَ كانُوا قَدْ ماتُوا.

53 a nd going out of the tombs after his arising, entered into the holy city and appeared unto many.

وَبَعْدَ أنْ قامَ يَسُوعُ، خَرَجَتْ تِلْكَ الأجسادُ مِنْ قُبُورِها، وَدَخَلَتْ إلَى المَدِينَةِ المُقَدَّسَةِ، وَظَهَرَتْ لِكَثِيرِينَ.

54 B ut the centurion, and they who were with him on guard over Jesus, seeing the earthquake and the things that took place, feared greatly, saying, Truly this was Son of God.

أمّا الضّابِطُ الرُّومانِيُّ، وَالحُرّاسُ الَّذِينَ كانُوا يَحرُسُونَ جَسَدَ يَسُوعَ، فَلَمّا رَأَوْا الزَّلْزَلَةَ وَالأحداثَ الأُخرَى، ارتَعَبُوا جِدّاً وَقالُوا: «كانَ هَذا حَقّاً ابْنَ اللهِ!»

55 A nd there were there many women beholding from afar off, who had followed Jesus from Galilee ministering to him,

وَكانَتْ هُناكَ نِساءٌ يَقِفْنَ وَيَنظُرْنَ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ، وَكُنَّ قَدْ تَبِعْنَ يَسُوعَ مِنَ الجَلِيلِ لِيَخدِمْنَهُ.

56 a mong whom was Mary of Magdala, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

فَمِنْهُنَّ مَريَمُ المَجدَلِيَّةُ، وَمَريَمُ أُمُّ يَعقُوبَ وَيُوسُفَ، وَكَذَلِكَ أُمُّ ابْنَي زَبَدِيّ. دَفْنُ يَسُوع

57 N ow when even was come there came a rich man of Arimathaea, his name Joseph, who also himself was a disciple to Jesus.

وَعِندَما جاءَ المَساءُ، جاءَ إلَى مَدِينَةِ القُدْسِ رَجُلٌ غَنِيٌّ اسْمُهُ يُوسُفُ، وَهوَ مِنْ بَلْدَةِ الرّامَةِ. وَقَدْ كانَ هُوَ أيضاً تِلمِيذاً لِيَسُوعَ.

58 H e, going to Pilate, begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given up.

فَذَهَبَ إلَى بِيلاطُسَ وَطَلَبَ مِنهُ جَسَدَ يَسُوعَ. فَأمَرَ بِيلاطُسُ بِإعطائِهِ الجَسَدَ.

59 A nd Joseph having got the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

فَأخَذَ يُوسُفُ الجَسَدَ وَلَفَّهُ بِقُماشٍ جَدِيدٍ مِنَ الكَتّانِ،

60 a nd laid it in his new tomb which he had hewn in the rock; and having rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, went away.

ثُمَّ وَضَعَهُ فِي قَبْرِهِ الجَدِيدِ الَّذِي كانَ قَدْ حَفَرَهُ فِي الصَّخْرِ، ثُمَّ دَحرَجَ حَجَراً ضَخْماً عَلَى مَدخَلِ القَبْرِ وَذَهَبَ.

61 B ut Mary of Magdala was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the sepulchre.

وَكانَتْ مَريَمُ المَجدَلِيَّةُ، وَمَرْيَمُ الأُخرَى جالِسَتَينِ مُقابِلَ القَبْرِ. حِراسَةُ قَبْرِ يَسُوع

62 N ow on the morrow, which is after the preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees came together to Pilate,

وَفِي اليَومِ التّالِي، بَعْدَ أنِ انتَهَى يَومُ الجُمُعَةِ، اجتَمَعَ كِبارُ الكَهَنَةِ وَالفِرِّيسِيِّونَ مَعَ بِيلاطُسَ،

63 s aying, Sir, we have called to mind that that deceiver said when he was still alive, After three days I arise.

وَقالُوا لَهُ: «يا سَيِّدُ، نَتَذَكَّرُ أنَّ هَذا المُضِلُّ قالَ قَبلَ أنْ يَموتَ: «سَأقُومُ مِنَ المَوتِ بَعْدَ ثَلاثَةِ أيّامٍ.»

64 C ommand therefore that the sepulchre be secured until the third day, lest his disciples should come and steal him away, and say to the people, He is risen from the dead; and the last error shall be worse than the first.

فَاصدِرْ أمراً بِحِراسَةِ القَبْرِ حَتَّى اليَومِ الثّالِثِ، حَتَّى لا يَأتِيَ تَلامِيذُهُ وَيَسرِقُوا الجَسَدَ ثُمَّ يَقُولُوا للنّاسِ: ‹لَقَدْ قامَ مِنَ المَوتِ.› فَيَكونَ هَذا الضَّلالُ أسوَأ مِنَ الضَّلالِ الأوَّلِ.»

65 A nd Pilate said to them, Ye have a watch: go, secure it as well as ye know how.

فَقالَ لَهُمْ بِيلاطُسُ: «خُذُوا حُرّاساً مِنَ الجُنْدِ، وَاذْهَبُوا وَتَأكَّدُوا مِنْ كُلَّ شَيءٍ بِمَعرِفَتِكُمْ.»

66 A nd they went and secured the sepulchre, having sealed the stone, with the watch.

فَذَهَبُوا وَضَبَطُوا القَبْرِ. وَوَضَعُوا خَتْماً عَلَى الحَجَرِ، كَما أقامُوا حُرّاساً مِنَ الجُنْدِ عَلَيهِ.
