1 J esus, having said these things, went out with his disciples beyond the torrent Cedron, where was a garden, into which he entered, he and his disciples.

بَعدَ أنْ قالَ يَسوعَ هذا، خَرَجَ هوَ وتَلاميذُهُ وعَبَرَ وادِي قَدْرونَ. وكانَ هُناكَ حَقلَ زَيتونٍ، فَدَخَلَهُ هوَ وتلامِيذُهُ.

2 A nd Judas also, who delivered him up, knew the place, because Jesus was often there, in company with his disciples.

وَكانَ يَهُوذا الَّذي خانَهُ يَعرِفُ المكانَ أيضاً، فقد كانَ يَسوعَ يَجتَمِعُ كَثيراً معَ تَلاميذهِ هُناكَ.

3 J udas therefore, having got the band, and officers of the chief priests and Pharisees, comes there with lanterns and torches and weapons.

فَأخَذَ يَهُوذا إلى ذلكَ المَكانِ عَدَداً مِنَ الجُنودِ الرُّومانِ وحُرّاسِ الهيكَلِ، كانَ قدْ أرسلَهُمْ كِبارُ الكَهَنةِ وَالفِرِّيسِيُّونَ. وكانوا يَحمِلونَ مَصابيحَ ومَشاعِلَ وَأسلِحَةً.

4 J esus therefore, knowing all things that were coming upon him, went forth and said to them, Whom seek ye?

وكانَ يَسوعُ يَعلَمُ كُلَّ ما سَيَحدُثُ لَهُ. فَتَقَدَّمَ وقالَ لَهُمْ: «عَمَّنْ تَبحَثُونَ؟» أجابوهُ: «عنْ يَسوعَ النّاصِريِّ.» فَقالَ لهُمْ: «أنا هوَ!»

5 T hey answered him, Jesus the Nazaraean. Jesus says to them, I am. And Judas also, who delivered him up, stood with them.

وكانَ يَهوذا الَّذي خانَ يَسوعَ واقِفاً هُناكَ مَعَهُمْ.»

6 W hen therefore he said to them, I am, they went away backward and fell to the ground.

فلمّا قالَ يَسوعُ: «أنا هوَ،» تَراجَعُوا وسَقَطوا على الأرْضِ.

7 H e demanded of them therefore again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus the Nazaraean.

فَسألَهُمْ يَسوعُ ثانيَةً: «عَمَّنْ تَبْحَثُونَ؟» فَقالوا: «عنْ يَسوعَ الناصِرِيِّ.»

8 J esus answered, I told you that I am: if therefore ye seek me, let these go away;

فَأجابَ يَسوعُ: «قُلْتُ لَكُمْ إنِّي هوَ. فَما دُمتُمْ تُرِيدونَني أنا، دَعوا هؤلاءِ الرِّجالَ وَشأنَهُم.»

9 t hat the word might be fulfilled which he spoke, those whom thou hast given me, I have not lost one of them.

قالَ هذا لكي يَتَحَقَّقَ ما سَبَقَ أنْ قالَهُ: «لَمْ أفقِدْ أحَداً مِنْ أولئك الَّذين وهَبْتُهمْ لي.»

10 S imon Peter therefore, having a sword, drew it, and smote the bondman of the high priest and cut off his right ear; and the bondman's name was Malchus.

وكانَ معَ سِمعانَ بُطْرُسَ سَيفٌ، فَاسْتَلَّهُ وضَرَبَ بهِ خادِمَ رَئيسِ الكَهَنَةِ، فَقَطَعَ أُذُنَهُ اليُمنى. وكانَ اسْمُ الخادِمِ مَلْخُسَ.

11 J esus therefore said to Peter, Put the sword into the sheath; the cup which the Father has given me, shall I not drink it?

فَقالَ يَسوعُ لِبُطْرُسَ: «أرْجِعْ سَيفَكَ إلى غِمْدِهِ. أتُريدُني أنْ لا أشرَبَ كأسَ الآلامِ الَّتي أعطاها الآبُ لي؟»

12 T he band therefore, and the chiliarch, and the officers of the Jews, took Jesus and bound him:

ثُمَّ قَبَضَ الجُنُودُ وَقائِدُهُمْ وَحُرّاسُ الهَيْكَلِ عَلَى يَسُوعَ وَقَيَّدُوهُ،

13 a nd they led him away to Annas first; for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.

وَأخَذُوهُ إلَى حَنّانَ أوَّلاً. لِأنَّ حَنّانَ هُوَ حَمُو قَيافا رَئِيْسِ الكَهَنَةِ فِي تِلكَ السَّنَةِ.

14 B ut it was Caiaphas who counselled the Jews that it was better that one man should perish for the people.

وَقَيافا هُوَ الَّذِي كانَ قَدْ نَصَحَ قادَةَ اليَهُودِ بأنَّهُ مِنَ الأفضَلِ أنْ يَمُوتَ رَجُلٌ واحِدٌ عَنِ الشَّعبِ. بُطرُسُ يُنكِرُ يَسُوع

15 N ow Simon Peter followed Jesus, and the other disciple. But that disciple was known to the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest;

وَكانَ سِمعانُ بُطرُسُ وَتِلمِيْذٌ آخَرُ يَتبَعانِ يَسُوعَ. وَكانَ هَذا التِّلمِيْذُ الآخَرُ مَعرُوفاً لَدَىْ رَئِيْسِ الكَهَنَةِ فَدَخَلَ مَعَ يَسُوعَ إلَى فِناءِ دارِ رَئِيْسِ الكَهَنَةِ.

16 b ut Peter stood at the door without. The other disciple therefore, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the porteress and brought in Peter.

أمّا بُطرُسُ فَبَقِيَ خارِجاً قُربَ البَوّابَةِ. فَخَرَجَ التِّلمِيْذُ الآخَرُ المَعرُوفُ لَدَى رَئِيْسِ الكَهَنَةِ وَكَلَّمَ الفَتاةَ المَسؤُولَةَ عَنِ البَوّابَةِ، وَأدخَلَ بُطرُسَ مَعَهُ.

17 T he maid therefore, who was porteress, says to Peter, Art thou also of the disciples of this man? He says, I am not.

فَقالَتِ الفَتاةُ لِبُطرُسَ: «ألَسْتَ أنتَ أيضاً مِنْ أتباعِ هَذا الرَّجُلِ؟» فَقالَ بُطرُسُ: «لا، لَستُ كَذَلِكَ!»

18 B ut the bondmen and officers, having made a fire of coals (for it was cold), stood and warmed themselves; and Peter was standing with them and warming himself.

وَكانَ الخُدّامُ وَالحُرّاسُ قَدْ أشعَلُوا ناراً وَوَقَفُوا حَولَها يَتَدَفَّأُونَ، لِأنَّ الطَّقسَ كانَ بارِداً. وَكانَ بُطرُسُ واقِفاَ يَتَدَفَّأُ مَعَهُمْ. حَنّانُ يَستَجوِبُ يَسُوع

19 T he high priest therefore demanded of Jesus concerning his disciples and concerning his doctrine.

فَسَألَ رَئِيْسُ الكَهَنَةِ يَسُوعَ عَنْ تَلامِيْذِهِ وَعَنْ تَعلِيْمِهِ.

20 J esus answered him, I spoke openly to the world; I taught always in synagogue and in the temple, where all the Jews come together, and in secret I have spoken nothing.

فَأجابَهُ يَسُوعُ: «كُنتُ أُكَلِّمُ الجَمِيعَ عَلَناً، وَعَلَّمتُ دائِماً فِي المَجامِعِ وَفِي ساحَةِ الهَيْكَلِ حَيثُ يَجتَمِعُ كُلُّ اليَهُودِ. وَلَمْ أقُلْ شَيْئاً فِي الخَفاءِ.

21 W hy demandest thou of me? Demand of those who have heard, what I have spoken to them; behold, they know what I have said.

فَلِماذا تَسألُنِي؟ اسألِ الَّذِيْنَ سَمِعُوا ما قُلْتُهُ لَهُمْ، فَهُمْ يَعرِفُونَ بِالتَّأْكِيْدِ ما كُنتُ أقُولُهُ!»

22 B ut as he said these things, one of the officers who stood by gave a blow on the face to Jesus, saying, Answerest thou the high priest thus?

فَلَمّا قالَ هَذا، صَفَعَهُ واحِدٌ مِنَ الحُرّاسِ الواقِفِيْنَ هُناكَ وَقالَ لَهُ: «كَيفَ تَجرُؤُ عَلَى مُخاطَبَةِ رَئِيْسِ الكَهَنَةِ بِهَذِهِ الطَّرِيْقَةِ؟»

23 J esus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil; but if well, why smitest thou me?

فَأجابَهُ يَسُوعُ: «إنْ كُنتُ قَدْ أخطَأْتُ فِي شَيْءٍ قُلْتُهُ، فَبَيِّنِ الخَطَأ أمامَ الجَمِيعِ. أمّا إنْ أصَبْتُ، فَلِماذا تَضْرِبُنِي؟»

24 A nnas had sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.

بَعدَ ذَلِكَ، أرسَلَهُ حَنّانُ مُقَيَّداً إلَى قَيافا رَئِيْسِ الكَهَنَةِ الحالِيِّ. بُطرُسْ يُنكِرُ يَسُوعُ ثانِيَة

25 B ut Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said therefore to him, Art thou also of his disciples? He denied, and said, I am not.

وَكانَ سِمعانُ بُطرُسُ ما يَزالُ واقِفاً يَتَدَفَّأُ، فَسَألَهُ الواقِفُونَ مَعَهُ: «ألَسْتَ أنتَ أيضاً مِنْ أتباعِهِ؟» لَكِنَّهُ أنكَرَ وَقالَ: «لا، لَسْتُ كَذَلِكَ!»

26 O ne of the bondmen of the high priest, who was kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, says, Did not I see thee in the garden with him?

وَكانَتْ هُناكَ إحدَى خادِماتِ رَئِيْسِ الكَهَنَةِ، وَهِيَ مِنْ أقارِبِ الرَّجُلِ الَّذِي قَطَعَ بُطرُسُ أُذُنَهُ، فَقالَتْ لِبُطرُسَ: «ألَمْ أرَكَ مَعَهُ فِي الحَقلِ؟»

27 P eter denied therefore again, and immediately cock crew.

فَأنكَرَ بُطرُسُ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى، وَصاحَ الدِّيْكُ بَعدَ ذَلِكَ فَوراً. بِيلاطُسُ يَستَجوِبُ يَسُوع

28 T hey lead therefore Jesus from Caiaphas to the praetorium; and it was early morn. And they entered not into the praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but eat the passover.

وَفِي الصَّباحِ الباكِرِ ساقُوا يَسُوعَ مِنْ بَيتِ قَيافا إلَى قَصْرِ الوالِي. لَكِنَّ اليَهُودَ لَمْ يَشاءُوا أنْ يَدخُلُوا دارَ الوالِي، لِأنَّهُمْ إنْ دَخَلُوا سَيَتَنَجَّسُونَ وَلَنْ يَستَطِيْعُوا أنْ يَأْكُلُوا طَعامَ الفِصْحِ.

29 P ilate therefore went out to them and said, What accusation do ye bring against this man?

فَخَرَجَ بِيلاطُسُ إلَيْهِمْ وَقالَ: «بمِاذا تَتَّهِمونَ هذا الإنسانَ؟»

30 T hey answered and said to him, If this were not an evildoer, we should not have delivered him up to thee.

فأجابوهُ: «لو لَمْ يَكُنْ هذا مُجرِماً، لما سلَّمْناهُ إليكَ!»

31 P ilate therefore said to them, Take him, ye, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said to him, It is not permitted to us to put any one to death;

فقالَ لهم بيلاطُسُ: «خُذُوهُ أنتُمْ، وَاحكُمُوا عَلَيْهِ حَسَبَ شَرِيْعَتِكُمْ.» فَقالَ لَهُ اليَهُودُ: «غَيْرُ مَسمُوحٍ لَنا بَأنْ نَقتُلَ أحَداً.»

32 t hat the word of Jesus might be fulfilled which he spoke, signifying what death he should die.

حَدَثَ هَذا لِكَي يَتَحَقَّقَ قَولُ يَسُوعَ حِيْنَ أشارَ إلَى المِيْتَةِ الَّتِي سَيَمُوتُها.

33 P ilate therefore entered again into the praetorium and called Jesus, and said to him, Thou art the king of the Jews?

فَرَجِعَ بِيلاطُسُ إلَى داخِلِ قَصْرِهِ. ثُمَّ استَدعَى يَسُوعَ وَقالَ لَهُ: «أأنتَ مَلِكُ اليَهُودِ؟»

34 J esus answered, Dost thou say this of thyself, or have others said it to thee concerning me?

أجابَ يَسُوعُ: «أمِنْ عِندِكَ تَقُولُ هَذا، أمْ أنَّ آخَرِيْنَ أخبَرُوكَ عَنِّي؟»

35 P ilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thy nation and the chief priests have delivered thee up to me: what hast thou done?

أجابَ بِيلاطُسُ: «أتَحسَبُنِي يَهُودِيّاً؟ شَعبُكَ وَكِبارُ الكَهَنَةِ هُمُ الَّذِيْنَ سَلَّمُوكَ إلِيَّ، فَماذا فَعَلْتَ؟»

36 J esus answered, My kingdom is not of this world; if my kingdom were of this world, my servants had fought that I might not be delivered up to the Jews; but now my kingdom is not from hence.

أجابَ يَسُوعُ: «مَملَكَتِي لا تَنتَمِي إلَى هَذا العالَمِ. لَو كانَتْ مَملَكتِي تَنتَمِي إلَى هَذا العالَمِ، لَكانَ أتباعِي يُحارِبُونَ لِيَمنَعُوا تَسلِيْمِي إلَى اليَهُودِ. لَكِنَّ مَملَكَتِي لَيْسَتْ مِنْ هُنا.»

37 P ilate therefore said to him, Thou art then a king? Jesus answered, Thou sayest, that I am a king. I have been born for this, and for this I have come into the world, that I might bear witness to the truth. Every one that is of the truth hears my voice.

فَقالَ لَهُ بِيلاطُسُ: «فَأنتَ مَلِكٌ إذَنْ؟» فَأجابَ يَسُوعُ: «أنتَ تَقُولُ إنِّي مَلِكٌ. لَقَدْ وُلِدتُ مِنْ أجلِ هَدَفٍ، وَجِئْتُ إلَى هَذا العالَمِ مِنْ أجلِ هَدَفٍ هُوَ أنْ أشهَدَ لِلحَقِّ. فَكُلُّ مَنْ هُوَ إلَى جانِبِ الحَقِّ، يُصغِي إلَى صَوتِي.»

38 P ilate says to him, What is truth? And having said this he went out again to the Jews, and says to them, I find no fault whatever in him.

فَسَألَهُ بِيلاطُسُ: «وَما هُوَ الحَقُّ؟» وَلَمّا قالَ هَذا، خَرَجَ ثانِيَةً إلَى اليَهُودِ وَقالَ لَهُمْ: «لا أجِدُ ما أتَّهِمُهُ بِهِ!

39 B ut ye have a custom that I release one to you at the passover; will ye therefore that I release unto you the king of the Jews?

وَلَقَدِ اعتَدتُمْ أنْ أُخلِيَ لَكُمْ سَبِيلَ أحَدِ السُّجَناءِ فِي عِيْدِ الفِصْحِ. فَهَلْ تُرِيْدُونَ أنْ أُخلِيَ سَبِيلَ مَلِكِ اليَهُودِ؟»

40 T hey cried therefore again all, saying, Not this, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.

فَصَرَخُوا ثانِيَةً: «لا لَيْسَ هَذا! بَلْ أخلِ سَبِيلَ باراباسَ!» وَكانَ باراباسُ مُجرِماً!
