1 ك انَ عِيْدُ الفِصحِ قَرِيْباً. وَكانَ يَسُوعُ يَعرِفُ أنَّ الوَقْتَ قَدْ حانَ لِيُغادِرَ هَذا العالَمَ وَيَذهَبَ إلَى الآبِ. وَإذْ كانَ قَدْ أظهَرَ مَحَبَّتَهُ لِأُولَئِكَ الَّذِيْنَ كانُوا لَهُ فِي العالَمِ، أرادَ الآنَ أنْ يُظهِرَها فِي أقصاها.

Now before the Feast of the Passover, Jesus knowing that His hour had come that He would depart out of this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end.

2 ك انُوا يَتَعَشَّوْنَ، وَكانَ إبلِيْسُ قَدْ وَضَعَ فِي ذِهنِ يَهُوذا بْنِ سِمعانَ الإسْخَريُوطِيِّ أنْ يَخُونَ يَسُوعَ.

During supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray Him,

3 و َمَعْ أنَّ يَسُوعَ كانَ يَعلَمُ أنَّ الآبَ قَدْ أعطاهُ سُلطاناً عَلَى كُلِّ شَيءٍ، وَأنَّهُ جاءَ مِنَ اللهِ وَأنَّهُ راجِعٌ إلَيْهِ،

Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come forth from God and was going back to God,

4 ق امَ عَنِ العَشاءِ، وَخَلَعَ رِداءَهُ. ثُمَّ أخَذَ مِنشَفَةً وَرَبَطَها حَولَ خَصْرِهِ.

got up from supper, and laid aside His garments; and taking a towel, He girded Himself. Jesus Washes the Disciples’ Feet

5 ث ُمَّ سَكَبَ ماءً فِي وِعاءٍ لِلاغتِسالِ. وَبَدَأ يَغسِلُ أقدامَ التَّلامِيْذِ وَيَمسَحُها بِالمِنشَفَةِ المَربُوطَةِ حَولَ خَصْرِهِ.

Then He poured water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded.

6 و َعِندَما جاءَ إلَى سِمعانَ بُطرُسَ، قالَ بُطرُسُ لِيَسُوعَ: «هَلْ سَتَغسِلُ أنتَ يا رَبُّ قَدَمَيَّ؟»

So He came to Simon Peter. He said to Him, “Lord, do You wash my feet?”

7 ف َأجابَهُ يَسُوعُ: «أنتَ لا تَفهَمُ الآنَ ما أفعَلُ، لَكِنَّكَ سَتَفهَمُ فِيما بَعْدُ.»

Jesus answered and said to him, “What I do you do not realize now, but you will understand hereafter.”

8 ف َقالَ بُطرُسُ: «لَنْ تَغسِلَ قَدَمَيَّ أبَداً!» فَأجابَهُ يَسُوعُ: «إنْ لَمْ أغسِلْكَ، فَلا مَكانَ لَكَ مَعِي.»

Peter said to Him, “Never shall You wash my feet!” Jesus answered him, “ If I do not wash you, you have no part with Me.”

9 ق الَ لَهُ سِمعانُ بُطرُسُ: «إذاً لا تَغسِلْ قَدَمَيَّ فَقَط يا رَبُّ، بَلْ يَدَيَّ وَرَأْسِي أيضاً!»

Simon Peter said to Him, “Lord, then wash not only my feet, but also my hands and my head.”

10 ف َقالَ يَسُوعُ: «مَنِ استَحَمَّ فَهُوَ طاهِرٌ كُلُّهُ، وَلا يَحتاجُ أنْ يَغسِلَ إلّا قَدَمَيْهِ. وَأنتُمْ طاهِرُونَ، وَلَكِنْ لَيْسَ كُلُّكُمْ.»

Jesus said to him, “He who has bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and you are clean, but not all of you.”

11 ف َلِأنَّهُ عَرَفَ الَّذِي سَيَخُونُهُ قالَ: «لَسْتُمْ كُلُّكُمْ طاهِرِيْنَ.»

For He knew the one who was betraying Him; for this reason He said, “Not all of you are clean.”

12 و َلَمّا انتَهَى مِنْ غَسلِ أقدامِهِمْ، لَبِسَ رِداءَهُ، وَاتَّكَأ ثانِيَةً وَقالَ لَهُمْ: «هَلْ تَفهَمُونَ ما فَعَلْتُهُ لَكُمْ؟

So when He had washed their feet, and taken His garments and reclined at the table again, He said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you?

13 أ نتُمْ تَدعُونَنِي مُعَلِّماً وَسَيِّداً، وَأنتُمْ مُصِيْبوْنَ لِأنَّنِي كَذَلِكَ.

You call Me Teacher and Lord; and you are right, for so I am.

14 ف َما دُمتُ وَأنا المُعَلِّمُ وَالسَّيِّدُ قَدْ غَسَلْتُ أقدامَكُمْ، فَعَلَيْكُمْ أنْ تَغسِلُوا بَعضُكُمْ أقدامَ بَعضٍ.

If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.

15 ل َقَدْ أرَيْتُكُمْ مِثالاً لِكَي تَفعَلُوا لِلآخَرِيْنَ ما فَعَلْتُهُ لَكُمْ.

For I gave you an example that you also should do as I did to you.

16 أ قُولُ الحَقَّ لَكُمْ: ما مِنْ عَبدٍ أعظَمُ مِنْ سَيِّدِهِ، وَما مِنْ رَسُولٍ أعظَمُ مِنَ الَّذِي أرسَلَهُ.

Truly, truly, I say to you, a slave is not greater than his master, nor is one who is sent greater than the one who sent him.

17 ف َما دُمتُمْ تَعرِفُونَ هَذِهِ الأشياءَ، فَهَنِيْئاً لَكُمْ إذا ما عَمِلْتُمْ بِها.»

If you know these things, you are blessed if you do them.

18 « أنا لا أقصِدُكُمْ جَمِيعاً بِحَدِيْثِي هَذا، فَأنا أعرِفُ الَّذِيْنَ اختَرتُهُمْ. لَكِنْ لا بُدَّ أنْ يَتَحَقَّقَ ما قالَهُ الكِتابُ: ‹الَّذِي أكَلَ خُبْزِي انقَلَبَ ضِدِّي. ›

I do not speak of all of you. I know the ones I have chosen; but it is that the Scripture may be fulfilled, ‘ He who eats My bread has lifted up his heel against Me.’

19 « ها أنا أُخبِرُكُمْ بِهَذا الآنَ قَبلَ أنْ يَحدُثَ. وَذَلِكَ لِكَيْ تُؤمِنُوا حِيْنَ يَحدُثُ أنِّي أنا هُوَ.

From now on I am telling you before it comes to pass, so that when it does occur, you may believe that I am He.

20 أ قُولُ الحَقَّ لَكُمْ: مَنْ يُرَحِّبُ بِمَنْ أُرسِلُهُ، فَإنَّهُ يُرَحِّبُ بِي. وَمَنْ يُرَحِّبُ بِي، فَإنَّهُ يُرَحِّبُ بِالَّذِي أرسَلَنِي.» يَسُوعُ يُنْبِئ بِأنَّ أحَدَ تَلاميذِهِ سَيَخُونُه

Truly, truly, I say to you, he who receives whomever I send receives Me; and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me.” Jesus Predicts His Betrayal

21 و َبَعدَ أنْ قالَ يَسُوعُ هَذا، شَعَرَ بِضِيْقٍ شَدِيْدٍ وَقالَ بِوُضُوحٍ: «أقُولُ الحَقَّ لَكُمْ: سَيَخُونُنِي واحِدٌ مِنكُمْ.»

When Jesus had said this, He became troubled in spirit, and testified and said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, that one of you will betray Me.”

22 ف َأخَذَ تَلامِيْذُهُ يَتَبادَلُونَ النَّظَراتِ مُتَحَيِّرِيْنَ فِي مَنْ قَصَدَهُ بِكَلامِهِ.

The disciples began looking at one another, at a loss to know of which one He was speaking.

23 و َكانَ أحَدُ تَلامِيذِ يَسُوعَ مُتَّكِئاً قُربَهُ، وَهُوَ التِّلمِيذُ الَّذِي يُحِبُّهُ يَسُوعُ.

There was reclining on Jesus’ bosom one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved.

24 ف َأشارَ إلَيهِ سِمعانُ بُطرُسُ لِيَسألَ يَسُوعَ عَنِ المَقصُودِ بِكَلامِهِ.

So Simon Peter gestured to him, and said to him, “Tell us who it is of whom He is speaking.”

25 ف َمالَ ذَلِكَ التِّلمِيذُ عَلَى صَدرِ يَسُوعَ وَسَألَهُ: «مَنْ هُوَ يا سَيِّدُ؟»

He, leaning back thus on Jesus’ bosom, said to Him, “Lord, who is it?”

26 ف َأجابَهُ يَسُوعُ: «هُوَ الَّذِي أُعطِيهِ قِطعَةَ الخُبزِ الَّتِي أغمِسُها.» فَغَمَسَ يَسُوعُ قِطعَةَ الخُبزِ فِي الطَّبَقِ، وَأخَذَها وَأعطاها لِيَهُوذا بْنِ سِمعانَ الإسْخَريُوطِيِّ.

Jesus then answered, “That is the one for whom I shall dip the morsel and give it to him.” So when He had dipped the morsel, He took and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.

27 و َبَعدَ أنْ أكَلَ يَهُوذا قِطعَةَ الخُبزِ، دَخَلَهُ الشَّيْطانُ. فَقالَ يَسُوعُ لِيَهُوذا: «أسرِعْ فَافْعَلْ ما سَتَفعَلُهُ.»

After the morsel, Satan then entered into him. Therefore Jesus said to him, “What you do, do quickly.”

28 و َلَمْ يَفهَمْ أحَدٌ مِنَ المُتَّكِئِيْنَ لِماذا قالَ يَسُوعُ هَذا لَهُ.

Now no one of those reclining at the table knew for what purpose He had said this to him.

29 ف َقَدْ كانَ صُندُوقُ المالِ مَعَ يَهُوذا، فَظَنَّ بَعضُهُمْ أنَّ يَسُوعَ قالَ لَهُ: «اشْتَرِ ما نَحتاجُ إلَيهِ لِلعِيْدِ.» أوْ ظَنُّوا أنَّهُ طَلَبَ مِنهُ أنْ يُعطِيَ شَيئاً لِلفُقَراءِ.

For some were supposing, because Judas had the money box, that Jesus was saying to him, “Buy the things we have need of for the feast”; or else, that he should give something to the poor.

30 و َهَكَذا أكَلَ يَهُوذا قِطعَةَ الخُبْزِ وَخَرَجَ فَوراً. وَكانَ الوَقتُ لَيلاً. يَسُوعُ يَتَحَدَّثُ عَنْ مَوتِه

So after receiving the morsel he went out immediately; and it was night.

31 و َبَعدَ أنْ غادَرَ يَهُوذا، قالَ يَسُوعُ: «الآنَ تَمَجَّدَ ابنُ الإنسانِ، وَتَمَجَّدَ اللهُ فِيْهِ.

Therefore when he had gone out, Jesus said, “Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in Him;

32 و َمادامَ اللهُ قَدْ تَمَجَّدَ فِيْهِ، فَسَيُمَجِّدُهُ اللهُ فِي ذاتِهِ، وَسَيَفعَلُ ذَلِكَ سَرِيْعاً.

if God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself, and will glorify Him immediately.

33 « يا أبنائِي، سَأبقَى مَعَكُمْ فَترَةً قَصِيرَةً بَعدُ، وَسَتَبحَثُونَ عَنِّي. وَما قُلْتُهُ لِليَهُودِ أقُولُهُ الآنَ لَكُمْ: لا تَستَطِيْعُونَ أنْ تَأتُوا إلَى حَيثُ أنا ذاهِبٌ.

Little children, I am with you a little while longer. You will seek Me; and as I said to the Jews, now I also say to you, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come.’

34 ل ِهَذا ها أنا أُعطِيْكُمْ وَصِيَّةً جَدِيْدَةً، وَهِيَ أنْ تُحِبُّوا بَعضَكُمْ بَعضاً كَما أحبَبْتُكُمْ أنا.

A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another.

35 أ ظهِرُوا مَحَبَّةً بَعضُكُمْ لِبَعضٍ. فَبِهَذا سَيَعرِفُ الجَمِيعُ أنَّكُمْ تَلامِيِّذِي.» يَسُوعُ يُنبِئُ بِإنكارِ بُطرُسَ لَه

By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”

36 ف قالَ لَهُ سِمعانُ بُطْرُسُ: «إلى أينَ أنتَ ذاهِبٌ يا ربُّ؟» فأجابَهُ يَسوعُ: «لا تَقدِرُ أنْ تَتبَعَني الآنَ إلى حيثُ أنا ذاهِبٌ، لكنَّكَ ستَتبَعُني فِيما بَعْدُ.»

Simon Peter said to Him, “Lord, where are You going?” Jesus answered, “ Where I go, you cannot follow Me now; but you will follow later.”

37 ف قالَ لَهُ بُطْرُسُ: «لمِاذا لا أقدِرُ أنْ أتبَعكَ الآنَ يا رَبُّ؟ فأنا مُستَعِدٌ أنْ أُضَحِّي بِحياتي مِنْ أجلِكَ!»

Peter said to Him, “Lord, why can I not follow You right now? I will lay down my life for You.”

38 أ جابَ يَسوعُ: «هلْ أنتَ مُستَعِدٌ حَقّاً أنْ تُضَحِّي بِحياتِكَ مِنْ أجلي؟ أقولُ لكَ الحَقَّ: قبلَ أنْ يَصيحَ الدِّيكُ، سَتَكونُ قدْ أنكَرتَني ثَلاثَ مَرّاتٍ!»

Jesus answered, “Will you lay down your life for Me? Truly, truly, I say to you, a rooster will not crow until you deny Me three times.
