1 و َمَرِضَ رَجُلٌ اسْمُهُ لِعازَرَ مِنْ قَرْيَةِ بَيْتَ عَنْيا، وَهِيَ القَرْيَةُ الَّتِي كانَتْ تَسْكُنُ فِيْها مَرْيَمُ وَأُختُها مَرْثا.

Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.

2 و َمَرْيَمُ هِيَ أُختُ لِعازَرَ المَرِيْضِ، وَهِيَ المَرْأةُ الَّتِي مَسَحَتْ قَدَمَيِّ الرَّبِّ بِالعِطْرِ وَنَشَّفَتْهُما بِشَعْرِها.

It was the Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.

3 ف َأرْسَلَتِ الأُختانِ إلَى يَسُوعَ شَخْصاً يَقُولُ لَهُ: «يا سَيِّدُ، ها إنَّ الَّذِي تُحِبُّهُ مَرِيْضٌ.»

So the sisters sent word to Him, saying, “ Lord, behold, he whom You love is sick.”

4 ف َلَمّا سَمِعَ يَسُوعُ ذَلِكَ قالَ: «لَنْ يَنتَهِيَ هَذا المَرَضُ بِالمَوْتِ، لَكِنَّهُ لِمَجْدِ اللهِ، وَلِكَيْ يَتَمَجَّدَ ابْنُ اللهِ بِواسِطَتِهِ.»

But when Jesus heard this, He said, “This sickness is not to end in death, but for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified by it.”

5 و َكانَ يَسُوعُ يُحِبُّ مَرْثا وَأُختَها وَلِعازَرَ.

Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.

6 ف َلَمّا سَمِعَ أنَّ لِعازَرَ مَرِيْضٌ، مَكَثَ يَوْمَيْنِ آخَرَيْنِ حَيْثُ كانَ.

So when He heard that he was sick, He then stayed two days longer in the place where He was.

7 ب َعْدَ ذَلِكَ قالَ لِتَلامِيْذِهِ: «لِنَرْجِعْ إلَى اليَهُودِيَّةِ.»

Then after this He said to the disciples, “ Let us go to Judea again.”

8 ف َقالَ لَهُ تَلامِيْذُهُ: «يا مُعَلِّمُ، لَقَدْ حاوَلَ اليَهُودُ أنْ يَرْجُمُوكَ فِي ذَلِكَ المَكانِ مُنْذُ مُدَّةٍ قَصِيْرَةٍ، فَكَيْفَ تَرْجِعُ إلَى هُناكَ؟»

The disciples said to Him, “ Rabbi, the Jews were just now seeking to stone You, and are You going there again?”

9 أ جابَ يَسُوعُ: «ألَيْسَتْ ساعاتُ النَّهارِ اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ؟ فَإنْ سارَ أحَدٌ فِي النَّهارِ، فَإنَّهُ لا يَتَعَثَّرُ لِأنَّهُ يَرَى نُورَ هَذا العالَمِ.

Jesus answered, “ Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.

10 أ مّا إنْ سارَ أحَدٌ لَيلاً، فَإنَّهُ يَتَعَثَّرُ لِأنَّهُ بِلا نُورٍ.»

But if anyone walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.”

11 ث ُمَّ قالَ لَهُمْ: «لَقَدْ نامَ صَدِيْقُنا لِعازَرُ، لَكِنِّي سَأذْهَبُ لِكَيْ أُوقِظَهُ.»

This He said, and after that He said to them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I go, so that I may awaken him out of sleep.”

12 ف َقالَ لَهُ تَلامِيْذُهُ: «يا رَبُّ، إنِ اسْتَطاعَ أنْ يَنامَ، فَسَيَتَعافَى.»

The disciples then said to Him, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.”

13 و َكانَ يَسُوعُ يَتَحَدَّثُ عَنْ مَوْتِ لِعازَرَ، لَكِنَّهُمْ ظَنُّوا أنَّهُ كانَ يَتَحَدَّثُ عَنِ النَّوْمِ الطَّبِيْعِيِّ.

Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that He was speaking of literal sleep.

14 ف َقالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ بِوُضُوحٍ: «ماتَ لِعازَرُ.

So Jesus then said to them plainly, “Lazarus is dead,

15 و َأنا سَعِيْدٌ لِأنِّي لَمْ أكُنْ هُناكَ، وَذَلِكَ لِكَيْ تُؤْمِنُوا أنتُمْ. فَلْنَذْهَبِ الآنَ إلَيْهِ.»

and I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe; but let us go to him.”

16 ف َقالَ تُوما، وَيَعْنِي اسْمُهُ «التَّوْأمَ،» لِبَقِيَّةِ التَّلامِيْذِ: «دَعُونا نَذْهَبُ نَحنُ أيضاً لِكَيْ نَمُوتَ مَعَ السَّيِّدِ.» يَسُوعُ فِي قَرْيَةِ بَيْتِ عَنْيا

Therefore Thomas, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, “Let us also go, so that we may die with Him.”

17 ف َذَهَبَ يَسُوعُ وَوَجَدَ أنَّهُ قَدْ مَضَتْ عَلَى لِعازَرَ أربَعَةُ أيّامٍ فِي القَبْرِ.

So when Jesus came, He found that he had already been in the tomb four days.

18 و َلَمْ تَكُنْ قَرْيَةُ بَيْتَ عَنْيا تَبْعُدُ عَنْ مَدِيْنَةِ القُدْسِ إلّا نَحوَ مِيلَينِ.

Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about two miles off;

19 ف َجاءَ كَثِيْرٌ مِنَ اليَهُودِ إلَى مَرْثا وَمَرْيَمَ لِيُعَزُّوهُما عَنْ أخِيْهِما.

and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother.

20 ف َلَمّا سَمِعَتْ مَرْثا أنَّ يَسُوعَ قَدْ جاءَ، ذَهَبَتْ لاسْتِقْبالِهِ. أمّا مَرْيَمُ فَبَقِيَتْ فِي البَيْتِ.

Martha therefore, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went to meet Him, but Mary stayed at the house.

21 ف َقالَتْ مَرْثا لِيَسُوعَ: «لَوْ كُنْتَ هَنُا يا سَيِّدُ لَما ماتَ أخِي،

Martha then said to Jesus, “ Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.

22 ل َكِنِّي أعرِفُ الآنَ أيضاً أنَّ اللهَ يُعطِيْكَ كُلَّ ما تَطلُبُهُ مِنْهُ.»

Even now I know that whatever You ask of God, God will give You.”

23 ف َقالَ لَها يَسُوعُ: «سَيَقُومُ أخُوكِ مِنَ المَوْتِ.»

Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”

24 ف َقالَتْ لَهُ مَرْثا: «أنا أعرِفُ أنَّهُ سَيَقُومُ مِنَ المَوْتِ فِي القِيامَةِ، فِي اليَوْمِ الأخِيْرِ.»

Martha said to Him, “ I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day.”

25 ف َقالَ لَها يَسُوعُ: «أنا هُوَ القِيامَةُ وَالحَياةُ. مَنْ يُؤْمِنُ بِي، وَإنْ ماتَ، فَسَيَحيا ثانِيَةً.

Jesus said to her, “ I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies,

26 و َكُلُّ مَنْ يَحيا مُؤْمِناً بِي، فَلَنْ يَمُوتَ أبَداً. أتُؤْمِنِيْنَ بِهَذا؟»

and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?”

27 ق الَتْ لَهُ: «نَعَمْ يا رَبُّ، أُومِنُ بِأنَّكَ المَسِيْحُ ابْنُ اللهِ الآتِي إلَى هَذا العالَمِ.» بَكَى يَسُوع

She said to Him, “Yes, Lord; I have believed that You are the Christ, the Son of God, even He who comes into the world.”

28 و َبَعْدَ أنْ قالَتْ هَذا، ذَهَبَتْ وَنادَتْ أُختَها مَرْيَمُ وَقالَتْ لَها سِرّاً: «المُعَلِّمُ هُنا، وَهُوَ يَسْألُ عَنْكِ.»

When she had said this, she went away and called Mary her sister, saying secretly, “ The Teacher is here and is calling for you.”

29 ف َلَمّا سَمِعَتْ مَرْيَمُ هَذا، قامَتْ مُسْرِعَةً وَذَهَبَتْ إلَيْهِ.

And when she heard it, she got up quickly and was coming to Him.

30 و َلَمْ يَكُنْ يَسُوعُ قَدْ دَخَلَ القَرْيَةَ بَعْدُ، بَلْ كانَ ما يَزالُ فِي المَكانِ الَّذِي لاقَتْهُ فِيْهِ مَرْثا.

Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was still in the place where Martha met Him.

31 و َكانَ بَعضُ اليَهُودِ مَعَ مَرْيَمَ فِي البَيْتِ يُعَزُّونَها. فَلَمّا رَأَوْا أنَّها قامَتْ وَخَرَجَتْ مِنَ البَيْتِ مُسْرِعَةً، لَحِقُوا بِها. فَقَدْ ظَنُّوا أنَّها ذاهِبَةٌ إلَى القَبْرِ لِتَبْكِيَ هُناكَ.

Then the Jews who were with her in the house, and consoling her, when they saw that Mary got up quickly and went out, they followed her, supposing that she was going to the tomb to weep there.

32 و َحِيْنَ وَصَلَتْ مَرْيَمُ إلَى حَيْثُ كانَ يَسُوعُ وَرَأتْهُ، وَقَعَتْ عِنْدَ قَدَمَيْهِ وَقالَتْ لَهُ: «لَوْ كُنْتَ هُنا يا سَيِّدُ لَما ماتَ أخِي.»

Therefore, when Mary came where Jesus was, she saw Him, and fell at His feet, saying to Him, “ Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.”

33 ف َلَمّا رَآها يَسُوعُ تَبْكِي هِيَ وَاليَهُودُ الَّذِيْنَ جاءُوا مَعَها، تَأثَّرَ فِي رُوحِهِ وَتَضايَقَ.

When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her also weeping, He was deeply moved in spirit and was troubled,

34 ث ُمَّ قالَ: «أيْنَ دَفَنْتُمُوهُ؟» فَقالُوا لَهُ: «تَعالَ وَانظُرْ يا سَيِّدُ.»

and said, “Where have you laid him?” They said to Him, “Lord, come and see.”

35 ف َبَكَى يَسُوعُ.

Jesus wept.

36 ف َقالَ بَعضُ اليَهُودِ: «انظُرُوا كَمْ كانَ يُحِبُّهُ!»

So the Jews were saying, “See how He loved him!”

37 و َقالَ بَعضُهُمْ: «أما كانَ بِإمْكانِ الَّذِي أعطَى الأعمَى بَصَراً أنْ يَحفَظَ لِعازَرَ مِنَ المَوْتِ؟» فَتَأثَّرَ يَسُوعُ فِي نَفْسِهِ ثانِيَةً. يَسُوعُ يُحيِي لِعازَر

But some of them said, “Could not this man, who opened the eyes of the blind man, have kept this man also from dying?”

38 ث ُمَّ اقْتَرَبَ مِنَ القَبْرِ، وَكانَ القَبْرُ مَغارَةً تَسُدُّ بابَها صَخْرَةٌ.

So Jesus, again being deeply moved within, came to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone was lying against it.

39 ف َقالَ يَسُوعُ: «أزِيْحُوا هَذِهِ الصَّخْرَةَ.» فَقالَتْ مَرْثا أُختُ المَيِّتِ: «سَتَكُونُ رائِحَتُهُ كَرِيْهَةً يا سَيِّدُ، فَقَدْ مَضَتْ عَلَيْهِ أربَعَةُ أيّامٍ.

Jesus said, “Remove the stone.” Martha, the sister of the deceased, said to Him, “Lord, by this time there will be a stench, for he has been dead four days.”

40 ف َقالَ لَها يَسُوعُ: «ألَمْ أقُلْ لَكِ إنْ آمَنْتِ فَسَتَرَيْنَ مَجْدَ اللهِ؟»

Jesus said to her, “ Did I not say to you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?”

41 ث ُمَّ أزاحُوا الصَّخْرَةَ، فَرَفَعَ يَسُوعُ عَيْنَيْهِ وَقالَ: «أيُّها الآبُ، أشْكُرُكَ لِأنَّكَ سَمِعْتَ لِي.

So they removed the stone. Then Jesus raised His eyes, and said, “ Father, I thank You that You have heard Me.

42 و َأنا أعرِفُ أنَّكَ دائِماً تَسْمَعُ لِي، لَكِنِّي تَكَلَّمْتُ مِنْ أجلِ هَؤُلاءِ النّاسِ لِكَيْ يُؤْمِنُوا بِأنَّكَ أنتَ أرْسَلْتَنِي.»

I knew that You always hear Me; but because of the people standing around I said it, so that they may believe that You sent Me.”

43 و َبَعْدَ أنْ قالَ هَذا، نادَى بِصَوْتٍ مُرْتَفِعٍ: «يا لِعازَرُ، اخرُجْ!»

When He had said these things, He cried out with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come forth.”

44 ف َخَرَجَ المَيِّتُ وَقَدْ رُبِطَتْ يَداهُ وَرِجلاهُ بِقُماشِ الأكفانِ، وَكانَ وَجهُهُ مَلْفُوفاً بِمِنْدِيلٍ. فَقالَ يَسُوعُ: «حُلُّوهُ وَدَعُوهُ يَذْهَبْ.» قادَةُ اليَهُودِ يُخَطِّطُونَ لِقَتلِ يَسُوع

The man who had died came forth, bound hand and foot with wrappings, and his face was wrapped around with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Unbind him, and let him go.”

45 ف َآمَنَ بِيَسُوعَ كَثِيْرُونَ مِنَ اليَهُودِ الَّذِيْنَ جاءُوا مَعَ مَرْيَمَ وَرَأَوْا ما فَعَلَ.

Therefore many of the Jews who came to Mary, and saw what He had done, believed in Him.

46 ل َكِنَّ جَماعَةً مِنْهُمْ ذَهَبُوا إلَى الفِرِّيْسِيِّيْنَ وَأخبَرُوهُمْ بِما فَعَلَ يَسُوعُ.

But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them the things which Jesus had done. Conspiracy to Kill Jesus

47 ف َدَعا كِبارُ الكَهَنَةِ وَالفِرِّيْسِيُّونَ إلَى عَقْدِ المَجلِسِ اليَهُودِيِّ، وَقالُوا: «ماذا سَنَفْعَلُ؟ فَهَذا الرَّجُلُ يَصْنَعُ مُعْجِزاتٍ كَثِيْرَةً!

Therefore the chief priests and the Pharisees convened a council, and were saying, “What are we doing? For this man is performing many signs.

48 ف َإذا تَرَكْناهُ، سَيُؤْمِنُ بِهِ الجَمِيعُ. وَسَيَأْتِي الرُّومانُ وَيُدَمِّرُونَ هَيْكَلَنا وَشَعبَنا.»

If we let Him go on like this, all men will believe in Him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.”

49 و َكانَ رَئِيْسُ الكَهَنَةِ فِي تِلْكَ السَّنَةِ هُوَ قِيافا، وَهُوَ واحِدٌ مِنْهُمْ. فَقالَ لَهُمْ: «أنتُمْ لا تَعْرِفُونَ شَيْئاً!

But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all,

50 و َلا تُدْرِكُونَ أنَّهُ لِمَصلَحَتِنا أنْ يَمُوتَ رَجُلٌ واحِدٌ عَنِ الشَّعبِ. فَهَذا أفْضَلُ مِنْ أنْ تَمُوتَ الأُمَّةُ بِكامِلِها.»

nor do you take into account that it is expedient for you that one man die for the people, and that the whole nation not perish.”

51 و َكانَتْ هَذِهِ نُبُوَّةً بِأنَّ يَسُوعَ سَيَمُوتُ عَنِ الأُمَّةِ. وَلَمْ يَكُنْ قِيافا يَعلَمُ ذَلِكَ، لَكِنَّهُ تنَبَّأ بِذَلِكَ لِأنَّهُ كانَ رَئِيْسَ الكَهَنَةِ فِي تِلْكَ السَّنَةِ.

Now he did not say this on his own initiative, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the nation,

52 و َلَيْسَ أنَّ يَسُوعَ سَيَمُوتُ عَنِ اليَهُودِ فَحَسْبُ، بَلْ أيضاً لِيَجمَعَ كُلَّ أولادِ اللهِ المُتَفَرِّقِيْنَ فِي شَعبٍ واحِدٍ.

and not for the nation only, but in order that He might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.

53 و َمُنْذُ ذَلِكَ اليَوْمِ، بَدَأُوا يُخَطِّطُونَ لِقَتلِهِ.

So from that day on they planned together to kill Him.

54 ف َلَمْ يَعُدْ يَسُوعُ يَتَنَقَّلُ بَيْنَ اليَهُودِ عَلانِيَةً، لَكِنَّهُ ذَهَبَ إلَى بَلْدَةٍ قَرِيْبَةٍ مِنَ البَرِّيَّةِ تُدْعَى أفْرايِمُ، وَأقامَ هُناكَ مَعَ تَلامِيْذِهِ.

Therefore Jesus no longer continued to walk publicly among the Jews, but went away from there to the country near the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim; and there He stayed with the disciples.

55 و َكانَ عِيْدُ الفِصْحِ اليَهُودِيِّ قَدِ اقْتَرَبَ، فَذَهَبَ كَثِيْرُونَ مِنَ الرِّيْفِ إلَى مَدِيْنَةِ القُدْسِ قَبلَ الفِصْحِ لِيُطَهِّرُوا أنفُسَهُمْ.

Now the Passover of the Jews was near, and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the Passover to purify themselves.

56 و َكانُوا يَبْحَثُونَ عَنْ يَسُوعَ. وَبَيْنَما هُمْ واقِفُونَ فِي ساحَةِ الهَيْكَلِ، أخَذُوا يَتَساءَلُونَ فِيْما بَيْنَهُمْ: «ماذا تَظُنُّونَ؟ ألَنْ يَأْتِيَ إلَى العِيْدِ؟»

So they were seeking for Jesus, and were saying to one another as they stood in the temple, “What do you think; that He will not come to the feast at all?”

57 و َكانَ كِبارُ الكَهَنَةِ وَالفِرِّيْسِيُّونَ قَدْ أصْدَرُوا أوامِرَهُمْ بِأنَّ عَلَى كُلِّ مَنْ يَعْرِفُ مَكانَ يَسُوعَ أنْ يُبَلِّغَ عَنْهُ، لِكَيْ يَقْبِضُوا عَلَيْهِ.

Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone knew where He was, he was to report it, so that they might seize Him.
