1 و َقَبلَ سِتَّةِ أيّامٍ مِنْ عِيْدِ الفِصْحِ، ذَهَبَ يَسُوعُ إلَى بَيْتَ عَنْيا. وَهِيَ بَلْدَةُ لِعازَرَ الَّذِي أقامَهُ يَسُوعُ مِنَ المَوْتِ.

¶ Jesus, therefore, six days before the passover, came to Bethany, where Lazarus was who had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.

2 و َهُناكَ أعَدُّوا لَهُ عَشاءً، وَكانَتْ مَرْثا تُجَهِّزُ الطَّعامَ. وَكانَ لِعازَرُ أحَدَ المُتَّكِئِيْنَ مَعَ يَسُوعَ.

There they made him a supper; and Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those that sat at the table with him.

3 أ مّا مَرْيَمُ فَقَدْ أخَذَتْ قارُورَةً مِنَ العِطْرِ الثَّمِيْنِ المَصْنُوعِ مِنْ زَيْتِ نَباتِ النّاردِيْنِ النَّقِيِّ وَسَكَبَتْهُ عَلَى قَدَمَيْ يَسُوعَ، ثُمَّ نَشَّفَتْهُما بِشَعْرِها. فَامتَلأ البَيْتُ كُلُّهُ بِعَبِيْرِ العِطْرِ.

Then Mary took a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped his feet with her hair; and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.

4 ف َقالَ أحَدُ تَلامِيْذِ يَسُوعَ – وَهُوَ يَهُوذا الإسْخَرْيُوطِيِّ الَّذِي سَيَخُونُهُ:

Then said one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, who should betray him,

5 « لِماذا لَمْ يُبَعْ هَذا العِطْرُ بِمَبلَغٍ كَبِيْرٍ مِنَ المالِ يُعْطَى لِلفُقَراءِ؟»

Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarius and given to the poor?

6 و َلَمْ يَقُلْ يَهُوذا ذَلِكَ اهتِماماً مِنْهُ بِالفُقَراءِ، بَلْ لِأنَّهُ كانَ سارِقاً. كانَ هُوَ الَّذِي يَحتَفِظُ بِصُنْدُوقِ المالِ، وَكانَ يَختَلِسُ مِمّا يُوضَعُ فِيْهِ.

This he said, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief and had the bag and would take from what was put therein.

7 ف َقالَ يَسُوعُ: «دَعُوها وَشَأْنَها! فَمِنَ الحَسَنِ أنَّها احتَفَظَتْ بِهَذا العِطْرِ لِهَذا اليَوْمِ، يَوْمِ الإعدادِ لِدَفْنِي.

Therefore Jesus said, Let her alone; against the day of my burying she has kept this;

8 ا لفُقَراءُ سَيَكُونُونَ عِنْدَكُمْ دائِماً، أمّا أنا فَلَسْتُ مَعَكُمْ دائِماً.» التَّآمُرُ عَلَى لِعازَر

for the poor ye always have with you, but ye shall not always have me.

9 و َعَلِمَ جَمْعٌ كَبِيْرٌ مِنَ اليَهُودِ الَّذِيْنَ جاءُوا لِلاحتِفالِ بِالفِصْحِ أنَّ يَسُوعَ فِي بَيْتَ عَنْيا. فَجاءُوا لا مِنْ أجلِ يَسُوعَ فَقَط، بَلْ أيضاً لِكَيْ يَرَوا لِعازَرَ الَّذِي أقامَهُ يَسُوعُ مِنَ المَوْتِ.

A great multitude of the Jews therefore knew that he was there; and they came not only for Jesus’ sake, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.

10 و َلِهَذا بَدَأ كِبارُ الكَهَنَةِ يُخَطِّطُونَ لِقَتلِ لِعازَرَ أيضاً.

So the princes of the priests took counsel that they might also put Lazarus to death

11 ف َبِسَبَبِهِ كانَ كَثِيْرُونَ مِنَ اليَهُودِ يَتْرُكُونَ قادَتَهُمْ وَيُؤْمِنُونَ بِيَسُوعَ. يَسُوعُ يَدْخُلُ مَدِيْنَةَ القُدْس

because by reason of him many of the Jews went away and believed on Jesus.

12 و َفِي اليَوْمِ التّالِي سَمِعَ الجَمْعُ الكَبِيْرُ الَّذِي جاءَ إلَى عِيْدِ الفِصْحِ أنَّ يَسُوعَ قادِمٌ إلَى مَدينَةِ القُدْسِ.

¶ On the next day the multitude that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

13 ف َحَمَلُوا أغصاناً مِنْ شَجَرِ النَّخلِ، وَخَرَجُوا لاسْتِقْبالِهِ. وَبَدَأُوا يَهْتِفُونَ: «يَعِيْشُ المَلِكُ! مُبارَكٌ هُوَ الآتِي بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ. مُبارَكٌ مَلِكُ بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ!»

took branches of palm trees and went forth to meet him and cried, Hosanna; Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel.

14 و َوَجَدَ يَسُوعُ حِماراً فَرَكِبَهُ كَما هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ:

And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat upon it, as it is written,

15 « لا تَخافِي أيَّتُها العَزِيزَةُ صِهْيَوْنُ، ها إنَّ مَلِكَكِ آتٍ راكِباً عَلَى حِمارٍ صَغِيْرٍ.»

Fear not, daughter of Sion; behold, thy King comes, sitting on an ass’s colt.

16 و َلَمْ يَفْهَمِ التَّلامِيْذُ أوَّلَ الأمْرِ ما يَحْدُثُ، لَكِنَّهُمْ تَذَكَّرُوا بَعْدَ أنْ تَمَجَّدَ يَسُوعُ أنَّ هَذِهِ الأُمُورَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ عَنْهُ، وَأنَّهُمْ تَمَّمُوها لَهُ.

His disciples did not understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of him and that they had done these things unto him.

17 و َكانَ هُناكَ جَمْعٌ مِنَ النّاسِ عِندَما نادَى يَسُوعُ لِعازَرَ مِنَ القَبْرِ وَأقامَهُ مِنَ المَوْتِ. فَكانُوا يُخبِرُونَ الجَمِيعَ بِما حَدَثَ.

The multitude, therefore, that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave and raised him from the dead, bore witness.

18 ل ِذَلِكَ خَرَجَتْ جُمُوعُ النّاسِ لِلِقائِهِ، فَقَدْ سَمِعُوا أنَّهُ هُوَ الَّذِي صَنَعَ تِلْكَ المُعجِزَةَ.

For this cause the multitude also met him, for they had heard that he had done this sign.

19 ف َقالَ الفِرِّيْسِيُّونَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ: «انظُرُوا! إنَّ خِطَتَنا لا تُحَقِّقُ شَيْئاً، فَها هُوَ العالَمُ كُلُّهُ يَتْبَعُهُ!» الحَياةُ وَالمَوْت

The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.

20 و َكانَ بَعضُ اليُونانِيِّيْنَ قَدْ ذَهَبُوا إلَى مَدينَةِ القُدْسِ لِلعِبادَةِ فِي عِيدِ الفِصْحِ أيضاً.

¶ And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast;

21 ف َذَهَبُوا إلَى فِيلِبُّسَ، وَهُوَ مِنْ بَلْدَةِ بَيْتِ صَيْدا فِي إقلِيْمِ الجَلِيلِ، وَرَجُوهُ فَقالوا: «يا سَيِّدُ، نُرِيْدُ أنْ نَرَى يَسُوعَ.»

the same came therefore to Philip, who was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, Lord, we desire to see Jesus.

22 ف َجاءَ فِيلِبُّسُ وَأخبَرَ أندراوُسَ. ثُمَّ جاءَ أندَراوُسُ وَفِيلِبُّسُ وَأخبَرا يَسُوعَ.

Philip came and told Andrew, and then Andrew and Philip told Jesus.

23 ف َقالَ يَسُوعُ: «آنَ الأوانُ لِيَتَمَجَّدَ ابْنُ الإنسانِ.

And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour comes in which the Son of man shall be clarified.

24 أ قُولُ الحَقَّ لَكُمْ: يَنبَغِي أنْ تَقَعَ حَبَّةُ القَمْحِ عَلَى الأرْضِ وَتَمُوتَ، وَإلّا فَإنَّها تَظَلُّ حَبَّةً وَحِيْدَةً. لَكِنَّها إنْ وَقَعَتْ عَلَى الأرْضِ وَماتَتْ، فَإنَّها تُنتِجُ ثَمَراً كَثِيْراً.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except the grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it abides alone; but if it dies, it brings forth much fruit.

25 م َنْ يَتَعَلَّقُ بِحَياتِهِ يَخسَرُها، أمّا الَّذِي لا يَتَعَلَّقُ بِحَياتِهِ فِي هَذا العالَمِ فَسَيَحفَظُها لِلحَياةِ الأبَدِيَّةِ.

He that loves his life shall lose it, and he that hates his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.

26 ف َلْيَتبَعْنِي مَنْ يُرِيْدُ أنْ يَخدِمَنِي. وَحَيْثُ أكُونُ أنا، سَيَكُونُ خادِمِي أيضاً. إنْ كانَ أحَدٌ يَخدِمُنِي، فَسَيُكْرِمُهُ الآبُ.» يَسُوعُ يُنبئُ باقتِرابِ مَوْتِه

If anyone serves me, let them follow me; and where I am, there shall my servant be also; the one that serves me, will my Father honour.

27 « الآنَ تَتَضايَقُ نَفْسِي، فَماذا أقُولُ؟ أأقُولُ نَجِّنِي أيُّها الآبُ مِنْ ساعَةِ الألَمِ هَذِهِ؟ لَكِنِّي جِئْتُ مِنْ أجلِ هَذِهِ السّاعَةِ.

¶ Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour, but for this have I come in this hour.

28 ف َمَجِّدِ اسْمَكَ أيُّها الآبُ.» فَجاءَ مِنَ السَّماءِ صَوْتٌ يَقُولُ: «لَقَدْ مَجَّدْتُهُ، وَسَأُمَجِّدُهُ أيضاً.»

Father, clarify thy name. Then there came a voice from the heaven, saying, I have clarified it and will clarify it again.

29 و َكانَ هُناكَ جَمْعٌ مِنَ النّاسِ، فَسَمِعُوا الصَّوْتَ، وَقالَ بَعضُهُمْ: «هَذا صَوْتُ الرَّعْدِ.» وَقالَ آخَرُونَ: «بَلْ كَلَّمَهُ مَلاكٌ!»

The people, therefore, that were present and heard it, said that it thundered; others said, An angel spoke to him.

30 ف َأجابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «لَمْ يَأْتِ هَذا الصَّوْتُ مِنْ أجلِي أنا، بَلْ مِنْ أجلِكُمْ أنتُمْ.

Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.

31 ا لآنَ هُوَ وَقْتُ الحُكْمِ عَلَى هَذا العالَمِ. الآنَ سَيُطْرَدُ حاكِمُ هَذا العالَمِ خارِجاً.

Now is the judgment of this world; now shall the prince of this world be cast out.

32 و َإذا رُفِعْتُ عَنِ الأرْضِ، سَأجذِبُ الجَمِيعَ إلَيَّ.»

And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.

33 ق الَ هَذا مُشِيْراً إلَى المِيْتَةِ الَّتِي سَيَمُوتُها.

This he said, signifying what death he should die.

34 ف َقالَ لَهُ بَعْضُهُمْ: «لَقَدْ سَمِعْنا مِنَ الشَّرِيْعَةِ أنَّ المَسِيْحَ سَيَبْقَى إلَى الأبَدِ، فَكَيْفَ تَقُولُ إنَّهُ يَنبَغِي لابْنِ الإنسانِ أنْ يُرْفَعَ؟ إذاً أيُّ ابْنِ إنسانٍ هَذا؟»

The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that the Christ abides for ever; and how sayest thou, It is expedient that the Son of man be lifted up? Who is this Son of man?

35 ف َقالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «سَيَبْقَى النُّورُ مَعْكُمْ زَماناً قَصِيْراً بَعْدُ، فَسِيْرُوا مادامَ النُّورُ مَعْكُمْ، وَقَبلَ أنْ تُدرِكَكُمُ الظُّلْمَةُ. لِأنَّ السّائِرَ فِي الظُّلمَةِ لا يَعلَمُ إلَى أيْنَ يَتَّجِهُ.

Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the Light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you; for he that walks in darkness does not know where he goes.

36 آ مِنُوا بِالنُّورِ مادامَ مَعَكُمْ، فَتَصِيْرُوا أولادَ النُّورِ.» قالَ يَسُوعُ هَذا وَمَضَى وَتَوارَىْ عَنْهُمْ. اليَهُودُ يُرْفُضُونَ أنْ يُؤْمِنُوا بِيَسُوع

While ye have the Light, believe in the Light that ye may be the sons of light. Jesus spoke these things and departed and hid himself from them.

37 ص َنَعَ يَسُوعُ كُلَّ هَذِهِ المُعجِزاتِ أمامَهُمْ. لَكِنَّهُمْ كانُوا يَرفُضُونَ أنْ يُؤْمِنُوا بِهِ.

¶ But although he had done so many signs before them, yet they did not believe in him,

38 ف َصَحَّ فِيْهِمْ قَولُ النَّبِيِّ إشَعْياءَ: «يا رَبُّ، مَنِ الَّذِي صَدَّقَ رِسالَتَنا، وَلِمَنْ أُظهِرَتْ قُوَّةُ الرَّبِّ ؟»

that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke, Lord, who shall believe our report? and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?

39 و َلَمْ يَكُنْ بِإمكانِهِمْ أنْ يُؤمِنُوا، فَإشَعْياءُ قالَ أيضاً:

Therefore they could not believe, because Isaiah said again,

40 « قَدْ أعمَى اللهُ عُيُونَهُمْ، وَقَسَّى قُلُوبَهُمْ. فَلا يَقدِرُونَ أنْ يُبصِرُوا بِعُيُونِهِمْ، وَلا أنْ يَفهَمُوا بِقُلُوبِهِمْ، لِكَيلا يَرجِعُوا إلَيَّ فَأُشْفِيْهِمْ.»

He has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, that they should not see with their eyes nor understand with their heart and be converted, and I should heal them.

41 ق الَ إشَعْياءُ هَذا لِأنَّهُ رَأى مَجدَ يَسُوعَ وَتَحَدَّثَ عَنْهُ.

Isaiah said these things when he saw his glory and spoke of him.

42 و َمَعَ ذَلِكَ، كانَ هُناكَ كَثِيْرُونَ قَدْ آمَنُوا بِهِ مِنْ قادَةِ اليَهُودِ. لَكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يُجاهِرُوا بِإيْمانِهِمْ خَوفاً مِنَ الفِرِّيْسِيِّيْنَ، لِأنَّهُمْ كانُوا يَخافُونَ أنْ يُحرَمُوا مِنْ دُخُولِ المَجمَعِ.

¶ Nevertheless, even among the princes many believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue;

43 ف َقَدْ كانُوا يُحِبُّونَ إكرامَ النّاسِ لَهُمْ أكثَرَ مِنْ إكرامِ اللهِ. تَعلِيْمُ يَسُوعَ سَيَحكُمُ عَلَى العالَم

for they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God.

44 و َقالَ يَسُوعُ بِصَوتٍ مُرتَفِعٍ: «مَنْ يُؤمِنُ بِي، فَإنَّهُ لا يُؤمِنُ بِي أنا، بَلْ يُؤمِنُ بِذاكَ الَّذِي أرسَلَنِي.

¶ But Jesus cried and said, He that believes in me, believes not in me, but in him that sent me,

45 و َمَنْ يَرانِي يَرَى ذاكَ الَّذِي أرسَلَنِي.

and he that sees me sees him that sent me.

46 ل َقَدْ جِئْتُ نُوراً لِلعالَمِ، فَكُلُّ مَنْ يُؤمِنُ بِي لا يَبْقَى فِي الظَّلمَةِ.

I am come as a light into the world that whosoever believes in me should not abide in darkness.

47 إ نْ سَمِعَ أحَدٌ كَلامِي وَلَمْ يُطِعْهُ، فَإنِّي لا أحكُمُ عَلَيْهِ. فَأنا لَمْ آتِ لِكَي أحكُمَ عَلَى العالَمِ، بَلْ جِئْتُ لِأُخَلِّصَ العالَمَ.

And if anyone hears my words and believes not, I judge him not, for I came not to judge the world but to save the world.

48 و َمَنْ يَرفُضُنِي وَيَرفُضُ أنْ يَقبَلَ كَلامِي، فَهُناكَ ما يَحكُمُ عَلَيْهِ: الرِّسالَةُ الَّتِي عَلَّمْتُها هِيَ الَّتِي سَتَحكُمُ عَلَيْهِ فِي اليَوْمِ الأخِيْرِ.

He that rejects me and does not receive my words has one that judges him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.

49 ف َأنا لَمْ أتَكَلَّمْ مِنْ عِندِي، بَلِ الآبُ نَفسُهُ الَّذِي أرسَلَنِي هُوَ الَّذِي أوصانِي بِما أقُولُ وَبِما أتَكَلَّمُ.

For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father who sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say and what I should speak.

50 و َأنا أعلَمُ أنَّ وَصِيَّتَهُ تُؤَدِّي إلَى الحَياةِ الأبَدِيَّةِ. فَما أتَكَلَّمُ بِهِ الآنَ، إنَّما أتَكَلَّمُ بِهِ كَما تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ الآبُ إلَيَّ.»

And I know that his commandment is eternal life; whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.
