1 ف َقامَتِ الجَماعَةُ كُلُّها، وَأخَذُوهُ إلَى بِيلاطُسَ.

And the whole company of them rose up, and brought him before Pilate.

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

And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this man perverting our nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ a king.

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

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

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

And Pilate said unto the chief priests and the multitudes, I find no fault in this man.

5 ل َكِنَّهُمْ 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

But they were the more urgent, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Judaea, and beginning from Galilee even unto this place.

6 ف َلَمّا سَمِعَ بِيلاطُسُ هَذا، سَألَ إنْ كانَ الرَّجُلُ جَلِيلِيّاً.

But when Pilate heard it, he asked whether the man were a Galilaean.

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

And when he knew that he was of Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him unto Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem in these days.

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

Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was of a long time desirous to see him, because he had heard concerning him; and he hoped to see some miracle done by him.

9 ف َطَرَحَ هِيرُودُسُ عَلَى يَسُوعَ أسئِلَةً كَثِيرَةً، أمّا يَسُوعَ فَلَمْ يُعطِهِ أيَّ جَوابٍ.

And he questioned him in many words; but he answered him nothing.

10 و َكانَ كِبارُ الكَهَنَةِ وَمُعَلِّمُو الشَّرِيعَةِ واقِفِينَ هُناكَ، وَهُمْ يَتَّهِمُونَهُ مَملُوئِينَ غَيظاً.

And the chief priests and the scribes stood, vehemently accusing him.

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

And Herod with his soldiers set him at nought, and mocked him, and arraying him in gorgeous apparel sent him back to Pilate.

12 و َفِي ذَلِكَ اليَومِ تَصالَحَ هِيرُودُسُ وَبِيلاطُسُ، وَكانا قَبلَ ذَلِكَ عَدُوَّينِ. ضَرُورَةُ مَوتِ يَسُوع

And Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day: for before they were at enmity between themselves.

13 و َدَعا بِيلاطُسُ كِبارَ الكَهَنَةِ وَالقادَةَ وَالشَّعْبَ، وَقالَ لَهُمْ:

And Pilate called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,

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

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

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

no, nor yet Herod: for he sent him back unto us; and behold, nothing worthy of death hath been done by him.

16 ل ِهَذا سَآمُرُ بِجَلدِهِ ثُمَّ أُطلِقُ سَراحَهُ.»

I will therefore chastise him, and release him.

17 إ ذْ كانَ يَنبَغِي أنْ يُطلِقَ بِيلاطُسُ للنّاسِ سَجيناً في كُلِّ فِصْحٍ.

Now he must needs release unto them at the feast one prisoner.

18 ل َكِنَّهُمْ صَرَخُوا جَمِيعاً مَعاً: «اقتُلهُ! وَأطلِقْ لَنا باراباسَ!»

But they cried out all together, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas: --

19 و َكانَ باراباسُ قَدْ أُلقِيَ فِي السِّجنِ بِسَبَبِ تَمَرُّدٍ تَسَبَّبَ فِيهِ فِي المَدِينَةِ، وَلِأنَّهُ قاتِلٌ.

one who for a certain insurrection made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.

20 و َتَحَدَّثَ إلَيْهِمْ بِيلاطُسُ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى، لِأنَّهُ أرادَ أنْ يُطلِقَ سَراحَ يَسُوعَ.

And Pilate spake unto them again, desiring to release Jesus;

21 ل َكِنَّهُمْ وَاصَلُوا الصُّراخَ: «اصلِبهُ! اصلِبهُ!»

but they shouted, saying, Crucify, crucify him.

22 ف َقالَ 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.»

And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath this man done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him and release him.

23 غ َيرَ أنَّهُمْ وَاصَلُوا الصُّراخَ بِصَوتٍ عالٍ مُطالِبينَ بِصَلبِهِ. وَانتَصَرَتْ صَرَخاتُهُمْ فِي نِهايَةِ الأمرِ.

But they were urgent with loud voices, asking that he might be crucified. And their voices prevailed.

24 ف َقَرَّرَ بِيلاطُسُ المُوافَقَةَ عَلَى طَلَبِهِمْ.

And Pilate gave sentence that what they asked for should be done.

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

And he released him that for insurrection and murder had been cast into prison, whom they asked for; but Jesus he delivered up to their will.

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

And when they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, and laid on him the cross, to bear it after Jesus.

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

And there followed him a great multitude of the people, and of women who bewailed and lamented him.

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

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

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

For behold, the days are coming, in which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the breasts that never gave suck.

30 ح ِينَئِذٍ سَيَقُولُونَ لِلجِبالِ: ‹اسقُطِي عَلَينا!› وَسَيَقُولُونَ لِلتِّلالِ: ‹غَطِّينا.›

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

31 ف َإنْ كانَ النّاسُ يَفعَلُونَ هَكَذا فِي أيّامِ الخَيرِ، فَماذا يَكُونُ الحالُ فِي الأيّامِ الصَّعبَةِ؟»

For if they do these things in the green tree, what shall be done in the dry?

32 و َاقتِيدَ رَجُلانِ آخَرانِ مَعَ يَسُوعَ لِيُعدَما، وَكانا مُجرِمَينِ.

And there were also two others, malefactors, led with him to be put to death.

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

And when they came unto the place which is called The skull, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand and the other on the left.

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

And Jesus said, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And parting his garments among them, they cast lots.

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

And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also scoffed at him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if this is the Christ of God, his chosen.

36 ك َما تَقَدَّمَ الجُنُودُ أيضاً وَاستَهزَأُوا بِهِ، وَقَدَّمُوا لَهُ خَلّا مَمزُوجاً بِخَمرٍ،

And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, offering him vinegar,

37 و َقالوا: «إنْ كُنتَ مَلِكَ اليَهُودِ، خَلِّصْ نَفسَكَ!»

and saying, If thou art the King of the Jews, save thyself.

38 و َكانَتْ فَوقَهُ لافِتَةٌ مَكتُوبٌ عَلَيها: «هَذا هُوَ مَلِكُ اليَهُودِ.»

And there was also a superscription over him, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

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

And one of the malefactors that were hanged railed on him, saying, Art not thou the Christ? save thyself and us.

40 ل َكِنَّ الآخَرَ وَبَّخَهُ وَقالَ: «ألا تَتَّقِي اللهَ؟ فَأنتَ تَحْتَ العُقُوبَةِ نَفسِها،

But the other answered, and rebuking him said, Dost thou not even fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?

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

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

42 ث ُمَّ قالَ: «يا يَسُوعُ، اذكُرنِي حِينَ تَبدَأُ مُلكَكَ.»

And he said, Jesus, remember me when thou comest in thy kingdom.

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

And he said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To-day shalt thou be with me in Paradise.

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

And it was now about the sixth hour, and a darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour,

45 ف َلَمْ تُرسِلِ الشَّمسُ ضَوْءَها طَوالَ ذَلِكَ الوَقتِ. وَانشَقَّتْ سِتارَةُ الهَيكَلِ إلَى نِصفَينِ.

the sun's light failing: and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.

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

And Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said this, he gave up the ghost.

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

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

48 و َرَأى كُلُّ النّاسِ الَّذِينَ تَجَمهَرُوا الأشياءَ الَّتِي حَصَلَتْ، فَمَضُوا وَهُمْ يَقرَعُونَ عَلَى صُدُورِهِمْ.

And all the multitudes that came together to this sight, when they beheld the things that were done, returned smiting their breasts.

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

And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed with him from Galilee, stood afar off, seeing these things.

50 و َكانَ هُناكَ رَجُلٌ صالِحٌ وَمُستَقِيمٌ اسْمُهُ يُوسُفُ، وَهُوَ عُضوٌ فِي المَجلِسِ اليَهُودِيِّ،

And behold, a man named Joseph, who was a councillor, a good and righteous man

51 إ لّا 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.

(he had not consented to their counsel and deed), a man of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews, who was looking for the kingdom of God:

52 ف َذَهَبَ إلَى بِيلاطُسَ وَطَلَبَ مِنهُ جَسَدَ يَسُوعَ.

this man went to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus.

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

And he took it down, and wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb that was hewn in stone, where never man had yet lain.

54 ح َدَثَ ذَلِكَ يَومَ الاسْتِعدادِ للسَّبتِ الَّذي كانَ وَشيكاً.

And it was the day of the Preparation, and the sabbath drew on.

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

And the women, who had come with him out of Galilee, followed after, and beheld the tomb, and how his body was laid.

56 ث ُمَّ عُدنَ وَأعدَدْنَ عُطُوراً وَزُيُوتاً خاصَّةً لِجَسَدِ المَسِيحِ. وَفِي السَّبتِ استَرَحنَ حَسَبَ وَصِيَّةِ الشَّرِيعَةِ.

And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments. And on the sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
