1 ف َأمَرَ بِيلاطُسُ بِأنْ يُؤخَذَ يَسُوعُ وَيُجلَدَ.

Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him.

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

And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe,

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

And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands.

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

Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him.

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

Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold 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 therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find no fault 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 by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.

8 ف َلَمّا سَمِعَ بِيلاطُسُ هَذا خافَ كَثِيْراً.

When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid;

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

And went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.

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

Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee?

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, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin.

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.»

And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar's friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar.

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

When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha.

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

And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold 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 cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I 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 delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away.

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

And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:

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

Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst.

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

And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was Jesus Of Nazareth 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.

This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin.

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

Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews.

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

Pilate answered, 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, to every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, 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.

They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did.

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

Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.

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

When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!

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

Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.

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

After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.

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

Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth.

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

When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

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.

The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

32 ف َجاءَ الجُنُودُ وَكَسَرُوا ساقَي الرَّجُلَيْنِ المَصلُوبَيْنِ مَعَ يَسُوعَ.

Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was 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 saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs:

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

But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.

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

And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe.

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

For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.

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

And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they 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 Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus.

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 there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight.

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

Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.

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

Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid.

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

There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews' preparation day; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.
