1 ف َأمَرَ بِيلاطُسُ بِأنْ يُؤخَذَ يَسُوعُ وَيُجلَدَ.

So then Pilate took Jesus and scourged (flogged, whipped) Him.

2 ف َصَنَعَ الجُنُودُ تاجاً مِنَ الشَّوكِ وَوَضَعُوهُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ، ثُمَّ ألبَسُوهُ رِداءً أُرجُوانِيَّ اللَّونِ.

And the soldiers, having twisted together a crown of thorns, put it on His head, and threw a purple cloak around Him.

3 و َكانُوا يَأْتُونَ إلَيْهِ وَيَقُولُونَ: «نُحَيِّيْكَ يا مَلِكَ اليَهُودِ!» وَكانُوا يَصفَعُونَهُ.

And they kept coming to Him and saying, Hail, King of the Jews! And they struck Him with the palms of their hands.

4 ث ُمَّ خَرَجَ بِيلاطُسُ ثانِيَةً وَقالَ لَهمْ: «ها أنا أُخرِجُهُ إلَيْكُمْ لِكَيْ تَعلَمُوا أنِّي لا أجِدُ ما أتَّهِمُهُ بِهِ.»

Then Pilate went out again and said to them, See, I bring Him out to you, so that you may know that I find no fault (crime, cause for accusation) in Him.

5 ف َخَرَجَ يَسُوعُ لابِساً تاجَ الشَّوكِ وَالرِّداءَ الأُرجُوانِيَّ. فَقالَ لَهُمْ بِيلاطُس: «ها هُوَ الرَّجُلُ!»

So Jesus came out wearing the thorny crown and purple cloak, and Pilate said to them, See, the Man!

6 ف َلَمّا رَآهُ كِبارُ الكَهَنَةِ وَحُرّاسُ الهَيْكَلِ، صَرَخُوا: «اصلِبْهُ! اصلِبْهُ!» فَقالَ لَهُمْ بِيلاطُسُ: «أنتُمْ خُذُوهُ وَاصلِبُوهُ! فَأنا لا أجِدُ ما أتَّهِمُهُ بِهِ.»

When the chief priests and attendants (guards) saw Him, they cried out, Crucify Him! Crucify Him! Pilate said to them, Take Him yourselves and crucify Him, for I find no fault (crime) in Him.

7 ف َأجابَهُ اليَهُودُ: «لَدَيْنا شَرِيْعَةٌ، وَوِفقَ شَرِيْعَتِنا يَنبَغِي أنْ يَمُوتَ هَذا، لِأنَّهُ ادَّعَى أنَّهُ ابْنُ اللهِ!»

The Jews answered him, We have a law, and according to that law He should die, because He has claimed and made Himself out to be the Son of God.

8 ف َلَمّا سَمِعَ بِيلاطُسُ هَذا خافَ كَثِيْراً.

So, when Pilate heard this said, he was more alarmed and awestricken and afraid than before.

9 ف َدَخَلَ إلَى قَصْرِ الوالِي ثانِيَةً وَقالَ لِيَسُوعَ: «مِنْ أيْنَ أنتَ؟» لَكِنَّ يَسُوعَ لَمْ يُجِبْهُ.

He went into the judgment hall again and said to Jesus, Where are You from? But Jesus did not answer him.

10 ف َقالَ لَهُ بِيلاطُسُ: «أتَرفُضُ أنْ تُكَلِّمَنِي؟ ألا تَعلَمُ أنَّنِي أملِكُ سُلطَةً لإخلاءِ سَبِيلِكَ، وَسُلطَةً لِصَلْبِكَ؟»

So Pilate said to Him, Will You not speak to me? Do You not know that I have power (authority) to release You and I have power to crucify You?

11 أ جابَهُ يَسُوعُ: «ما كُنتَ لِتَملِكَ أيَّةَ سُلطَةٍ عَلَيَّ لَو لَمْ يُعطِكَ إيّاها اللهُ. لِذَلِكَ فَإنَّ خَطِيَّةَ الرَّجُلِ الَّذِي سَلَّمَنِي إلَيْكَ أعظَمُ مِنْ خَطِيَّتِكَ.»

Jesus answered, You would not have any power or authority whatsoever against (over) Me if it were not given you from above. For this reason the sin and guilt of the one who delivered Me over to you is greater.

12 ب َعدَ ذَلِكَ بَدَأ بِيلاطُسُ يُحاوِلُ أنْ يَجِدَ طَرِيْقَةً لإطلاقِ يَسُوعَ. لَكِنَّ اليَهُودَ صَرَخُوا: «إنْ أطلَقْتَهُ، فَلَسْتَ مُوالِياً لِلقَيْصَرِ! فَكُلُّ مَنْ يَقُولُ إنَّهُ مَلِكٌ هُوَ عَدُوٌّ لِلقَيْصَرِ.»

Upon this, Pilate wanted (sought, was anxious) to release Him, but the Jews kept shrieking, If you release this Man, you are no friend of Caesar! Anybody who makes himself a king sets himself up against Caesar!

13 ف َلَمّا سَمِعَ بِيلاطُسُ هَذا الكَلامَ، أخرَجَ يَسُوعَ، ثُمَّ جَلَسَ عَلَى كُرسِيِّ القَضاءِ فِي مَكانٍ يُدعَى «البَلاطَ» وَبِالآرامِيَّةِ «جَبّاتا.»

Hearing this, Pilate brought Jesus out and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called the Pavement —in Hebrew, Gabbatha.

14 و َكانَ ذَلِكَ ظُهْرَ يَومِ الجُمعَةِ، يَومَ الاسْتِعدادِ لِلفِصْحِ. فَقالَ بِيلاطُسُ لِليَهُودِ: «ها هُوَ مَلِكُكُمْ!»

Now it was the day of Preparation for the Passover, and it was about the sixth hour (about twelve o’clock noon). He said to the Jews, See, your King!

15 ف َصَرَخُوا: «أبعِدْهُ عَنّا! أبعِدْهُ! اصلِبْهُ!» فَقالَ لَهُمْ بِيلاطُسُ: «هَلْ أصلِبُ مَلِكَكُمْ؟» فَأجابَهُ كِبارُ الكَهَنَةِ: «لَيْسَ لَنا مَلِكٌ سِوَى القَيْصَرِ!»

But they shouted, Away with Him! Away with Him! Crucify Him! Pilate said to them, Crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar!

16 ح ِيْنَئِذٍ سَلَّمَهُ بِيلاطُسُ إلَيْهِمْ لِكَيْ يُصلَبَ. يَسُوعُ عَلَى الصَّلِيْب فَأخَذَ الجُنُودُ يَسُوعَ.

Then he delivered Him over to them to be crucified.

17 ف َمَضَى حامِلاً صَلِيْبَهُ إلَى مَكانٍ يُدعَى «مَكانَ الجُمجُمَةِ،» وَبِالآرامِيَّةِ «جُلجُثَةَ.»

And they took Jesus and led away; so He went out, bearing His own cross, to the spot called The Place of the Skull—in Hebrew it is called Golgotha.

18 ف َصَلَبُوهُ هُناكَ، وَصَلَبُوا مَعْهُ رَجُلَيْنِ آخَرَيْنِ. فَكانَ أحَدُهُما عَنْ يَمِيْنِهِ وَالآخَرَ عَنْ شِمالِهِ، وَيَسُوعُ فِي الوَسَطِ.

There they crucified Him, and with Him two others—one on either side and Jesus between them.

19 و َكَتَبَ بِيلاطُسُ لافِتَةً تَقُولُ: «يَسُوعُ النّاصِرِيُّ، مَلِكُ اليَهُودِ.» وَعَلَّقَها عَلَى الصَّلِيْبِ.

And Pilate also wrote a title (an inscription on a placard) and put it on the cross. And the writing was: Jesus the Nazarene, the King of the Jews.

20 ف َقَرَأها كَثِيْرُونَ مِنَ اليَهُودِ، لِأنَّ المَكانَ الَّذِي صُلِبَ فِيْهِ يَسُوعُ كانَ قُربَ المَدِيْنَةِ. وَكانَتِ الَّلافِتَةُ مَكتُوبَةً بِالعِبرِيَّةِ وَالَّلاتِيْنِيَّةِ وَاليُونانِيَّةِ.

And many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, in Greek.

21 ف َقالَ كِبارُ كَهَنَةِ اليَهُودِ لِبِيلاطُسَ: «لا تَكتُبْ ‹مَلِكَ اليَهُودِ،› بَلِ اكتُبْ: ‹قالَ هَذا الرَّجُلُ: أنا مَلِكُ اليَهُودِ.›»

Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, Do not write, The King of the Jews, but, He said, I am King of the Jews.

22 ف َأجابَ بِيلاطُسُ: «فاتَ الأوانُ، فَقَدْ كَتَبتُ ما كَتَبتُ.»

Pilate replied, What I have written, I have written.

23 و َكانَ الجُنُودُ، بَعدَ أنْ صَلَبُوا يَسُوعَ، قَدْ أخَذُوا ثِيابَهُ وَقَسَّمُوها إلَى أربَعَةِ أقسامٍ. وَأخَذَ كُلُّ جُندِيٍّ قِسْماً مِنْها. وَأخَذُوا أيضاً قَمِيْصَهُ الطَّوِيلَ، لَكِنَّ القَمِيْصَ كانَ قِطعَةً واحِدَةً مَنسُوجَةً بِغَيْرِ خِياطَةٍ مِنَ الأعلَى إلَى الأسفَلِ.

Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took His garments and made four parts, one share for each soldier, and also the tunic (the long shirtlike undergarment). But the tunic was seamless, woven from the top throughout.

24 ف َقالَ بَعضُهُمْ لِبَعضٍ: «لا نُمَزِّقُ هَذا القَمِيْصَ، بَلْ نُجرِي عَلَيْهِ قُرعَةً لِنَرَى لِمَنْ يَكُونُ.» حَدَثَ هَذا لِكَيْ يَتَحَقَّقَ قَولُ الكِتابِ: «اقتَسَمُوا ثِيابِي فِيْما بَيْنَهُمْ، وَعَلَى قَمِيْصِي ألقَوْا قُرعَةً.» وَهَذا ما فَعَلَهُ الجُنُودُ.

So they said to one another, Let us not tear it, but let us cast lots to decide whose it shall be. This was to fulfill the Scripture, They parted My garments among them, and for My clothing they cast lots. So the soldiers did these things.

25 و َكانَتْ أُمُّ يَسُوعَ وَأُختُها، وَمَريَمُ زَوجَةُ كِلُوبا، وَمَريَمُ المَجدَلِيَّةُ واقِفاتٍ عِندَ الصَّلِيْبِ.

But by the cross of Jesus stood His mother, His mother’s sister, Mary the of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.

26 ف َرَأى يَسُوعُ أُمَّهُ وَالتِّلمِيْذَ الَّذِي كانَ يُحِبُّهُ واقِفَيْنِ هُناكَ. فَقالَ لِأُمِّهِ: «يا سَيِّدَةُ، ها هُوَ ابْنُكِ.»

So Jesus, seeing His mother there, and the disciple whom He loved standing near, said to His mother, '> Dear] woman, See, your son!

27 ث ُمَّ قالَ لِلتِّلمِيْذِ: «ها هِيَ أُمُّكَ.» فَأخَذَها ذَلِكَ التِّلمِيْذُ لِتَعِيْشَ فِي بَيْتِهِ مُنذُ ذَلِكَ الوَقْتِ. مَوتُ يَسُوع

Then He said to the disciple, See, your mother! And from that hour, the disciple took her into his own.

28 و َإذْ رَأى يَسُوعُ أنَّ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ قَدْ تَمَّ، قالَ: «أنا عَطشانُ،» لِكَيْ يَتَحَقَّقَ ما هُوَ مَكتُوبٌ.

After this, Jesus, knowing that all was now finished (ended), said in fulfillment of the Scripture, I thirst.

29 و َكانَ هُناكَ إناءٌ مَملُوءٌ بِالخَلِّ. فَغَمَسُوا إسْفِنجَةً فِي الخَلِّ وَرَفَعُوها عَلَى ساقِ نَبتَةِ زُوفا، وَوَضَعُوها عَلَى فَمِ يَسُوعَ.

A vessel (jar) full of sour wine (vinegar) was placed there, so they put a sponge soaked in the sour wine on hyssop, and held it to mouth.

30 ف َلَمّا ذاقَ يَسُوعُ الخَلَّ، قالَ: «قَدْ تَمَّ.» ثُمَّ حَنَى رَأْسَهُ وَماتَ.

When Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, It is finished! And He bowed His head and gave up His spirit.

31 ح َدَثَ ذَلِكَ يَومَ الاسْتِعدادِ لِلسَّبْتِ، فَطَلَبَ اليَهُودُ مِنْ بِيلاطُسَ أنْ يَأْمُرَ بِكَسْرِ سِيْقانِ المَصلُوبِيْنَ وَإنزالِ أجسادِهِمْ عَنِ الصُّلبانِ، لِكَيْ لا تَبقَى الأجسادُ عَلَى الصُّلبانِ يَومَ السَّبْتِ. فَقَدْ كانَ ذَلِكَ السَّبْتُ يَوماً مُهِمّاً جِدّاً.

Since it was the day of Preparation, in order to prevent the bodies from hanging on the cross on the Sabbath—for that Sabbath was a very solemn and important one—the Jews requested Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies taken away.

32 ف َجاءَ الجُنُودُ وَكَسَرُوا ساقَي الرَّجُلَيْنِ المَصلُوبَيْنِ مَعَ يَسُوعَ.

So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first one, and of the other who had been crucified with Him.

33 أ مّا يَسُوعُ فَلَمْ يَكسِرُوا ساقَيْهِ، لِأنَّهُمْ لَمّا جاءُوا إلَيْهِ وَجَدُوا أنَّهُ قَدْ ماتَ.

But when they came to Jesus and they saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs.

34 ل َكِنَّ واحِداً مِنَ الجُنُودِ طَعَنَ جَنبَهُ بِرُمحِهِ، فَتَدَفَّقَ مِنهُ عَلَى الفَورِ دَمٌ وَماءٌ.

But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came (flowed) out.

35 و َمَنْ رَأى ذَلِكَ يَشْهَدُ، وَشَهادَتُهُ صادِقَةٌ، وَهُوَ يَعرِفُ أنَّهُ يَقُولُ الصِّدْقَ، لِكَيْ تُؤمِنُوا أنتُمْ أيضاً.

And he who saw it (the eyewitness) gives this evidence, and his testimony is true; and he knows that he tells the truth, that you may believe also.

36 و َقَدْ حَدَثَ هَذا لِكَيْ يَتَحَقَّقَ قَولُ الكِتابِ: «لا يُكسَرُ عَظمٌ واحِدٌ مِنْ عِظامِهِ.»

For these things took place, that the Scripture might be fulfilled (verified, carried out), Not one of His bones shall be broken;

37 و َقَولُهُ فِي مَوضِعٍ آخَرَ: «سَيَنظُرُ النّاسُ إلَى ذاكَ الَّذِي طَعَنُوهُ.» دَفْنُ يَسُوع

And again another Scripture says, They shall look on Him Whom they have pierced.

38 ب َعدَ ذَلِكَ جاءَ رَجُلٌ اسْمُهُ يُوسُفُ الرّامِي، وَطَلَبَ إذْناً مِنْ بِيلاطُسَ كَيْ يُنزِلَ جسَدَ يَسُوعَ عَنِ الصَّلِيْبِ وَيَأخُذَهُ. وَكانَ يُوسُفُ مِنْ أتباعِ يَسُوعَ فِي الخَفاءِ، فَقَدْ كانَ يَخشَى اليَهُودَ! فَأذِنَ لَهُ بِيلاطُسُ بِذَلِكَ. فَجاءَ يُوسُفُ وَأنزَلَ الجَسَدَ عَنِ الصَّلِيْبِ.

And after this, Joseph of Arimathea—a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews—asked Pilate to let him take away the body of Jesus. And Pilate granted him permission. So he came and took away His body.

39 ك َما جاءَ أيضاً نِيقُودِيْمُوسُ، وَهُوَ الَّذِي كانَ قَدْ جاءَ إلَى يَسُوعَ لَيلاً، وَكانَ يَحمِلُ خَلِيْطاً مِنْ خُلاصَةِ نَباتَيِّ المُرِّ وَالصَّبْرِ يَزِنُ نَحوَ خَمسَةٍ وَثَلاثِيْنَ كِيلُو غَراماً.

And Nicodemus also, who first had come to Jesus by night, came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds.

40 ف َأخَذا جَسَدَ يَسُوعَ وَلَفّاهُ بِالأكفانِ مَعَ الأطيابِ، حَسَبَ عاداتِ الدَّفْنِ اليَهُودِيَّةِ.

So they took Jesus’ body and bound it in linen cloths with the spices (aromatics), as is the Jews’ customary way to prepare for burial.

41 و َكانَ هُناكَ بُستانٌ فِي المَكانِ الَّذِي صُلِبَ فِيْهِ يَسُوعُ. وَكانَ فِي البُستانِ قَبْرٌ جَدِيْدٌ لَمْ يُدفَنْ فِيْهِ أحَدٌ مِنْ قَبلُ.

Now there was a garden in the place where He was crucified, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had ever been laid.

42 ف َوَضَعا يَسُوعَ هُناكَ لِأنَّهُ كانَ يَومَ استِعدادِ اليَهُودِ لِلسَّبْتِ، وَلِأنَّ القَبْرَ كانَ قَرِيْباً.

So there, because of the Jewish day of Preparation since the tomb was near by, they laid Jesus.
