1 ¶ Now upon the first of the sabbaths, very early in the morning they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.

وَفِي أوَّلِ يَومٍ مِنْ أيّامِ الأُسبُوعِ، جاءَتِ النِّساءُ مُبَكِّراتٍ جِدّاً إلَى القَبرِ، وَحَمَلْنَ مَعَهُنَّ العُطُورَ وَالزُّيُوتَ الَّتِي أعدَدْنَها.

2 A nd they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.

فَوَجَدنَ أنَّ الحَجَرَ قَدْ دُحرِجَ عَنْ بابِ القَبرِ.

3 A nd they entered in and did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.

فَدَخَلْنَ، لَكِنَّهُنَّ لَمْ يَجِدنَ جَسَدَ الرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ.

4 A nd it came to pass as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments;

وَبَينَما كُنَّ مُتَحَيِّراتٍ جِدّاً فِي ما حَدَثَ، ظَهَرَ فَجأةً رَجُلانِ فِي ثِيابٍ لامِعَةٍ وَوَقَفا أمامَهُما.

5 a nd as they were afraid and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?

فَتَمَلَّكَهُنَّ الخَوفُ وَحَنَينَ رُؤُوسُهُنَّ. فَقالَ لَهُما الرَّجُلانِ: «لِماذا تَبحَثنَ عَنِ الحَيِّ بَينَ الأمواتِ؟

6 H e is not here, but is risen; remember how he spoke unto you when he was yet in Galilee,

لَيسَ هُوَ هُنا، بَلْ قامَ! اذْكُرْنَ ما قالَهُ لَكُنَّ عِندَما كانَ فِي الجَلِيلِ.

7 s aying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified, and the third day rise again.

قالَ إنَّهُ لا بُدَّ أنْ يُوضَعَ ابنُ الإنسانِ تَحتَ سَيطَرَةِ الخُطاةِ، ثُمَّ يُصلَبَ وَيَقومَ فِي اليَومِ الثّالِثِ.»

8 T hen they remembered his words

حينَئِذٍ، تَذَكَّرَتِ النِّساءُ كَلامَ يَسُوعَ.

9 a nd returned from the sepulchre and told all these things unto the eleven and to all the rest.

فَعُدنَ مِنَ القَبرِ، وَأخبَرنَ الأحَدَ عَشَرَ رَسُولاً وَكُلُّ الآخَرِينَ بِما حَدَثَ.

10 I t was Mary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the mother of James and other women that were with them who told these things unto the apostles.

وَالنِّساءُ هُنَّ مَريَمُ المَجدَلِيَّةُ وَيُوَنّا وَمَريَمُ أُمُّ يَعقُوبَ. فَذَهَبْنَ مَعَ النِّساءِ الأُخرَياتُ، وَأخبَرنَ الرُّسُلَ بِهَذِهِ الأُمُورِ.

11 A nd their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they did not believe them.

فَبَدا كَلامَهُنَّ لَهُمْ تَخرِيفاً، فَلَمْ يُصَدِّقُوهُنَّ!

12 B ut Peter arose and ran unto the sepulchre, and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves and departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to pass.

لَكِنَّ بُطرُسَ نَهَضَ وَرَكَضَ إلَى القَبرِ. وَلَمّا وَصَلَ، انحَنَى، لَكِنَّهُ لَمْ يَرَ غَيرَ الأكفانِ. ثُمَّ مَضَى مُتَفَكِّراً فِي ما حَدَثَ. عَلَى طَرِيقِ عِمواس

13 ¶ And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was about sixty furlongs from Jerusalem.

وَفِي ذَلِكَ اليَومِ نَفسِهِ، كانَ اثْنانِ مِنْ تَلامِيذِ يَسُوعَ ذاهِبَينِ إلَى قَريَةٍ تَبعُدُ نَحوَ سَبْعَةِ أمْيالٍ عَنْ مَدينَةِ القُدْسِ، اسْمُها عِمواسُ.

14 A nd they talked together of all these things which had happened.

وَكانا يَتَحادَثانِ عَنْ كُلِّ الأُمُورِ الَّتِي حَدَثَتْ.

15 A nd it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near and went together with them.

وَبَينَما كانا يَتَكَلَّمانِ وَيُناقِشانِ هَذِهِ الأُمُورَ، اقتَرَبَ يَسُوعُ نَفسُهُ مِنهُما وَسارَ مَعَهُما،

16 B ut their eyes were held fast that they should not know him.

لَكِنَّ أعيُنَهُما مُنِعَتا مِنَ التَّعَرُّفِ إلَيهِ.

17 A nd he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another as ye walk and are sad?

فَقالَ لَهُما: «ما هِيَ هَذِهِ الأُمُورُ الَّتِي تَتَناقَشانِ فِيها وَأنتُما سائِرانِ؟» فَتَوَقَّفا، وَعَبَسَ وَجهاهُما.

18 A nd one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days?

وَقالَ لَهُ أحَدُهُما وَاسْمُهُ كِلْيُوباسُ: «لا بُدَّ أنَّكَ الشَّخصُ الوَحِيدُ فِي مَدينَةِ القُدْسِ الَّذِي لا يَدرِي بِالأُمُورِ الَّتِي حَدَثَتْ فِي الأيّامِ القَلِيلَةِ الماضِيَةِ!»

19 T hen he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people,

فَقالَ لَهُما يَسُوعُ: «أيَّةُ أُمُورٍ؟» فَقالا لَهُ: «الأُمُورِ المُتَعَلِّقَةِ بِيَسُوعَ النّاصِرِيَّ. لَقَدْ كانَ رَجُلاً بَيَّنَ أنَّهُ نَبِيٌّ عَظِيمٌ أمامَ اللهِ وَالنّاسِ فِي أعمالِهِ وَأقوالِهِ.

20 a nd how the princes of the priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death and crucified him.

وَكُنّا نَتَحَدَّثُ كَيفَ أنَّ كِبارَ كَهَنَتِنا وَحُكّامِنا أسلَمُوهُ لِيُحكَمَ عَلَيهِ بِالمَوتِ، ثُمَّ صَلَبُوهُ.

21 B ut we were hoping that it was he who should redeem Israel, and beside all this, today is the third day since these things were done.

وَقَدْ كُنّا مِنْ قَبلُ نَأمَلُ أنْ يَكُونَ هُوَ الَّذِي سَيُحَرِّرُ بَنِي إسرائِيلَ. وَالآنَ ها قَدْ مَضَى عَلَى حُدُوثِ ذَلِكَ ثَلاثَةُ أيّامٍ.

22 A lthough also certain women of our company made us astonished, who before daybreak were at the sepulchre;

وَقَدْ أذهَلَتْنا بَعضُ النِّساءِ فِي جَماعَتِنا بِما قُلْنَهُ. فَقَدْ ذَهَبنَ إلَى القَبرِ فِي وَقتٍ مُبَكِّرٍ مِنَ الصَّباحِ،

23 a nd when they did not find his body, they came, saying that they had also seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive.

لَكِنَّهُنَّ لَمْ يَجِدْنَ جَسَدَهُ، وَجِئْنَ وَأخبَرْنَنا أنَّهُنَّ رَأيْنَ ما يُشبِهُ مَلائِكَةً أخبَرُوهُنَّ بِأنَّهُ حَيٌّ.

24 A nd certain of those who were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said; but they did not see him.

فَذَهَبَ بَعضٌ مِنْ جَماعَتِنا إلَى القَبرِ، وَوَجَدُوهُ فارِغاً كَما قالَتِ النِّساءُ، لَكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَرَوهُ هُوَ.»

25 T hen he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken;

فَقالَ لَهُما يَسُوعُ: «أنتُما غَبِيّانِ وَبَطِيئانِ فِي الإيمانِ بِكُلِّ ما قالَهُ الأنبِياءُ.

26 o ught not the Christ to have suffered these things and to enter (like this) into his glory?

ألَمْ يَكُنْ ضَرُورِيّاً أنْ يَحتَمِلَ المَسِيحُ هَذِهِ الأشياءَ فَيَدخُلَ إلَى مَجدِهِ؟»

27 A nd beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded this unto them in all the scriptures concerning himself.

وَفَسَّرَ لَهُما ما قِيلَ عَنهُ فِي جَمِيعِ كُتُبِ مُوسَىْ وَالأنبِياءِ.

28 A nd they drew near unto the village where they went, and he made as though he would have gone further.

وَاقتَرَبُوا مِنَ القَريَةِ الَّتِي كانا مُتَوَجِّهَينِ إلَيها، فَتَظاهَرَ يَسُوعُ بِأنَّهُ يُرِيدُ أنْ يُواصِلَ المَسِيرَ.

29 B ut they constrained him, saying, Abide with us, for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them.

لَكِنَّهُما ألَحّا عَلَيهِ بِشِدَّةٍ وَقالوا لَهُ: «ابقَ عِندَنا، فَقَدِ اقْتَرَبَ المَساءُ، وَأوشَكَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلى المَغيبِ،» فَدَخَلَ.

30 A nd it came to pass as he sat at the table with them, he took bread and blessed it and broke and gave to them.

وَعِندَما جَلَسَ إلَى المائِدَةِ مَعَهُما، أخَذَ الخُبزَ وَشَكَرَ اللهَ، ثُمَّ قَسَّمَهُ وَناوَلَهُما.

31 A nd their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.

فَفُتِحَتْ أعيُنُهُما وَعَرَفاهُ، لَكِنَّهُ اختَفَى عَنهُما.

32 A nd they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us while he talked with us in the way and while he opened to us the scriptures?

فَقالَ أحَدُهُما لِلآخَرِ: «ألَمْ يَكُنْ قَلبانا يَتَّقِدانِ فِينا وَهُوَ يُكَلِّمُنا فِي الطَّرِيقِ، وَيَشرَحُ لَنا الكُتُبَ؟»

33 A nd they rose up the same hour and returned to Jerusalem and found the eleven gathered together and those that were with them,

وَقاما فَوراً وَرَجِعا إلَى مَدينَةِ القُدْسِ، وَوَجَدا الأحَدَ عَشَرَ رَسُولاً وَالآخَرِينَ مُجتَمِعِينَ مَعاً.

34 s aying, The Lord is risen indeed and has appeared to Simon.

وَكانُوا يَقُولُونَ: «لَقَدْ قامَ الرَّبُّ حَقّاً! وَقَدْ ظَهَرَ لِسِمعانَ.»

35 A nd they told what things were done in the way and how he was known to them in the breaking of the bread.

ثُمَّ شَرَحَ التِّلمِيذانِ ما حَدَثَ عَلَى الطَّرِيقِ، وَكَيفَ تَعَرَّفا إلَيهِ عِندَما قَسَمَ الخُبزَ. يَسُوعُ يَظهَرُ لِتَلامِيذِه

36 ¶ And as they spoke these things, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them and said unto them, Peace be unto you.

وَيَبنَما كانا مازالا يُحَدِّثانِهِمْ بِهَذِهِ الأُمُورِ، وَقَفَ يَسُوعُ نَفسُهُ بَينَهُمْ، وَقالَ لَهُمْ: «لِيَكُنِ السَّلامُ مَعَكُمْ.»

37 B ut they were terrified and frightened, and supposed that they were seeing a spirit.

فَاندَهَشُوا وَتَمَلَّكَهُمُ الخَوفُ، وَظَنُّوا أنَّهُمْ يَرَونَ شَبَحاً.

38 A nd he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?

لَكِنَّهُ قالَ لَهُمْ: «لِماذا أنتُمْ مُنزَعِجُونَ هَكَذا؟ وَلِماذا تَدُورُ الشُّكُوكُ فِي عُقُولِكُمْ؟

39 B ehold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself; handle me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones, as ye see me have.

انظُرُوا إلَى يَدَيَّ وَقَدَمَيَّ. أنتُمْ تَقدِرُونَ أنْ تُميِّزوا أنَّهُ أنا نَفسِي. المِسُونِي وَتَأكَّدُوا، فَلَيسَ لِلشَّبَحِ لَحمٌ وَعِظامٌ كَما تَرَونَ لِي.»

40 A nd when he had thus spoken, he showed them his hands and his feet.

وَبَعدَ أنْ قالَ هَذا، أراهُمْ يَدَيهِ وَقَدَمَيهِ.

41 A nd as they were not believing him yet for joy and wondering, he said unto them, Have ye here any food?

وَمِنْ فَرحَتِهِمْ، كانُوا ما يَزالُونَ غَيرَ مُصَدِّقِينَ وَمَذهُولِينَ. فَقالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «هَلْ لَدَيكُمْ ما يُؤكَلُ هُنا؟»

42 S o they gave him a piece of a broiled fish and of a honeycomb.

فَقَدَّمُوا لَهُ قِطعَةً مِنْ سَمَكٍ مَطبُوخٍ،

43 A nd he took it and ate before them.

فَأخَذَها وَأكَلَها أمامَهُمْ.

44 A nd he said unto them, These are the words which I spoke unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the law of Moses and in the prophets and in the psalms, concerning me.

ثُمَّ قالَ لَهُمْ: «هَذِهِ هِيَ الأُمُورُ الَّتِي حَدَّثتُكُمْ بِها عِندَما كُنتُ بَعدُ مَعَكُمْ. فَقَدْ قُلْتُ لَكُمْ إنَّهُ لا بُدَّ أنْ يَتَحَقَّقَ كُلُّ ما كُتِبَ عَنِّي فِي شَرِيعَةِ مُوسَى وَفِي كُتُبِ الأنبِياءِ وَفِي المَزامِيرِ.»

45 T hen he opened their understanding that they might understand the scriptures

ثُمَّ فَتَحَ أذهانَهُمْ لِيَفهَمُوا الكُتُبَ.

46 a nd said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behooved the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day;

وَقالَ لَهُمْ: «نَعَمْ، مَكتُوبٌ أنَّ المَسِيحَ لا بُدَّ أنْ يَتَألَّمَ وَيَقُومَ مِنَ المَوتِ فِي اليَومِ الثّالِثِ.

47 a nd that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning from Jerusalem.

وَلا بُدَّ أنْ يُبَشَّرَ بِالتَّوبَةِ وَمَغفِرَةِ الخَطايا بِاسْمِهِ لِجَمِيعِ الأُمَمِ ابتِداءً مِنَ مَدينَةِ القُدْسِ.

48 A nd ye are witnesses of these things.

وَأنتُمْ شُهُودٌ عَلَى تِلكَ الأُمُورِ.

49 A nd, behold, I shall send the promise of my Father upon you, but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem until ye are endued with power from on high.

وَالآنَ سَأُرسِلُ لَكُمْ ما وَعَدَ بِهِ أبِي، لَكِنِ امكُثوا فِي مَدِينَةِ القُدْسِ إلَى أنْ يُلبِسَكُمُ اللهُ قُوَّةً مِنَ الأعالِي.» يَسُوعُ يَعُودُ إلَى السَّماء

50 ¶ And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands and blessed them.

ثُمَّ خَرَجَ بِهِمْ إلَى بَيتِ عَنيا، وَرَفَعَ يَدَيهِ وَبارَكَهُمْ.

51 A nd it came to pass while he blessed them, he was parted from them and carried up into heaven.

وَبَينَما كانَ يُبارِكُهُمْ، ابتَعَدَ عَنهُمْ وَرُفِعَ إلَى السَّماءِ.

52 A nd they worshipped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy

فَسَجَدُوا لَهُ، وَعادُوا إلَى مَدينَةِ القُدْسِ بِفَرَحٍ عَظِيمٍ.

53 a nd were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.

وَكانُوا يَقضُونَ وَقتَهُمْ كُلَّهُ فِي ساحَةِ الهَيكَلِ يُسَبِّحُونَ اللهَ.
