1 W hen the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:

وَفِي صَباحِ اليَومِ التّالِي، اجتَمَعَ كِبارُ الكَهَنَةِ وَشُيُوخُ الشَّعبِ، وَتَشاوَرُوا لِكَي يَقتُلُوا يَسُوعَ.

2 A nd when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.

فَقَيَّدُوهُ وَاقتادُوهُ وَسَلَّمُوهُ إلَى الوالي بِيلاطُسَ. يَهُوذا يَقتُلُ نَفسَه

3 T hen Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,

فَلَمّا رَأى يَهُوذا الَّذِي خانَ يَسُوعَ، أنَّهُمْ قَرَّروا الحُكْمَ عَلَى يَسُوعَ بِالمَوْتِ، نَدِمَ عَلَى ماَ فَعَلَهُ. فَأعادَ الثَّلاثِينَ قِطعَةً مِنَ الفِضَّةِ إلَى كِبارِ الكَهَنَةِ وَالشُّيُوخِ،

4 S aying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that.

وَقالَ لَهُمْ: «قَدْ أخطَأتُ بِتَسلِيمِي شَخصاً بَرِيئاً لِيُقتَلَ.» فَقالُوا لَهُ: «ما عَلاقَةُ هَذا بِنا؟ تَدَبَّرْ هَذا الأمْرَ بِنَفسِكَ.»

5 A nd he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.

فَألقَى يَهُوذا قِطَعَ النَّقْدِ فِي الهَيكَلِ ثُمَّ غادَرَ، وَذَهَبَ وَشَنَقَ نَفسَهُ.

6 A nd the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood.

فَأخَذَ كِبارُ الكَهَنَةِ قِطَعَ النَّقْدِ وَقالُوا: «لَيسَ مَسمُوحاً بِأنْ نَضَعَ هَذا المالَ فِي خَزِينَةِ الهَيكَلِ لِأنَّهُ ثَمَنُ حَياةِ إنسانٍ.»

7 A nd they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in.

فَقَرَّرُوا أنْ يَشتَرُوا بِهِ حَقلَ الفَخّارِيِّ لِيَكونَ مَقبَرَةً لِلغُرَباءِ.

8 W herefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day.

وَلِهَذا يُعرَفُ الحَقلُ بِاسْمِ «حَقلِ الدَّمِ» إلَى يَومِنا هَذا.

9 T hen was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value;

وَبِهَذا تَمَّ ما قالَهُ اللهُ عَلَى لِسانِ إرمِيا النَّبِيِّ: «أخَذُوا الثَّلاثِينَ قِطعَةً مِنَ الفِضَّةِ، وَهُوَ الثَّمَنُ الَّذِي اتَّفَقَ بَنو إسْرائِيلَ عَلَى دَفعِهِ.

10 A nd gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed me.

وَاشتروا بِهِ حَقلِ الفَخّارِيِّ، كَما أمَرَنِي الرَّبُّ.» يَسُوعُ أمامَ بِيلاطُس

11 A nd Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest.

وَوَقَفَ يَسُوعُ أمامَ الوالِي، فَسَألَهُ: «هَلْ أنتَ مَلِكُ اليَهُودِ؟» فَقالَ يَسُوعُ: «هُوَ كَما قُلْتَ بِنَفسِكَ.»

12 A nd when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.

وَعِندَما كانَ كِبارُ الكَهَنَةِ وَالشُّيُوخُ يَشتَكُونَ عَلَيهِ لَمْ يِنطِقْ بِشَيءٍ.

13 T hen said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee?

ثُمَّ سَألَهُ بِيلاطُسُ: «ألا تَسمَعُ هَذِهِ التُّهَمَ الكَثِيرَةَ الَّتِي يَتَّهِمُونَكَ بِها؟»

14 A nd he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly.

وَلَكِنَّ يَسُوعَ لَمْ يُعطِ بيلاطُسَ رَدّاً علَى أيِّ كَلامٍ اتَّهَموهُ بِهِ. فَكانَ بِيلاطُسُ يَتَعَجَّبُ مِنْ صَمتِهِ. فَشَلُ بِيلاطُسَ في إطلاقِ يَسُوع

15 N ow at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a prisoner, whom they would.

وَكانَ الوالِي مُعتاداً فِي عِيدِ الفِصْحِ أنْ يُطلِقَ للنّاسِ سَجِيناً يَختارونَهُ.

16 A nd they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.

وَكانَ هُناكَ سَجِينٌ مَشهُورٌ بِشَرِّهِ، اسْمُهُ باراباسُ.

17 T herefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ?

فعِندَما اجتَمَعَ النّاسُ، قالَ بِيلاطُسُ لَهُمْ: «مَنْ تُرِيدُونَ أنْ أُطلِقَ لَكُمْ: يَسُوعَ المَدعُوَّ المَسِيحَ، أمْ باراباسَ؟»

18 F or he knew that for envy they had delivered him.

فَقَدْ عَرَفَ بِيلاطُسُ أنَّهُمْ سَلَّمُوا يَسُوعَ إلَيهِ بِسَبَبِ حَسَدِهِمْ.

19 W hen he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.

وَبَينَما كانَ بِيلاطُسُ جالِساً عَلَى كُرسِيِّ القَضاءِ، أرسَلَتْ زَوجَتُهُ إلَيهِ رِسالَةً تَقُولُ: «لا تَفعَلْ شَرّاً بِهَذا الرَّجُلِ البَرِيءِ، لِأنِّي كُنتُ مُنزَعِجَةً طَوالَ اللَّيلِ بِسَبَبِ حُلْمٍ يَخُصُّهُ.»

20 B ut the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.

وَلَكِنَّ كِبارَ الكَهَنَةِ وَالشُّيُوخَ أقنَعُوا جُمُوعَ النّاسِ بِأنْ يَطلُبُوا إطلاقَ سَراحِ باراباسَ، وَقَتلَ يَسُوعَ.

21 T he governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas.

فَقالَ الوالِي: «أيُّ الاثنَينِ تُرِيدُونَ أنْ أُطلِقَ لَكُمْ؟» فَقالُوا: «باراباسَ.»

22 P ilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.

فَسَألَهُمْ بِيلاطُسُ: «فَماذا أصنَعُ بِيَسُوعَ المَدعُوِّ المَسِيحِ؟» فَأجابُوا جَمِيعاً: «فَلْيُصلَبْ.»

23 A nd the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.

فَقالَ لَهُمْ بِيلاطُسُ: «لِماذا؟ ما جَريمَتُهُ؟» لَكِنَّهُمْ صَرَخُوا أكثَرَ: «لِيُصلَبْ.»

24 W hen Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it.

وَلَمّا رَأى بِيلاطُسُ أنْ لا فائِدَةَ مِنْ مُحاوَلَتِهِ، بَلْ إنَّ الفَوضَى قَدْ بَدَأتْ، أخَذَ بَعضَ الماءِ وَغَسَلَ بِهِ يَدَيهِ أمامَ الجَمْعِ وَقالَ: «أنا غَيرُ مَسؤُولٍ عَنْ مَوتِ هَذا الرَّجُلِ، إنَّها مَسؤُولِيَّتُكُمْ أنتُمْ.»

25 T hen answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.

فَقالَ جَمِيعُ الشَّعبِ: «دَمُهُ عَلَينا وَعَلَى أولادِنا.»

26 T hen released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.

حِينَئِذٍ أطلَقَ بِيلاطُسُ باراباسَ لَهُمْ، وَأمَرَ بِأنْ يُجلَدَ يَسُوعُ، وَأسلَمَهُ لِيُصلَبَ. الجُنُودُ يَستَهزِئُونَ بِيَسُوع

27 T hen the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers.

ثُمَّ اقْتادَ جُنُودُ الوالِي يَسُوعَ إلَى قَصْرِ الوِلايَةِ، وَجَمَعُوا عَلَيهِ كَتيبَةُ الحُرّاسِ،

28 A nd they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.

فَنَزَعُوا ثِيابَهُ ثُمَّ ألبَسُوهُ رِداءً قِرمُزيَ اللَّونِ.

29 A nd when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!

وَجَدَلُوا لَهُ تاجاً مِنْ أغصانٍ شائِكَةٍ وَوَضَعُوهُ عَلَى رَأسِهِ، وَوَضَعُوا قَصَبَةً فِي يَدِهِ اليُمنَى، وَسَجَدُوا أمامَهُ مُستَهزِئينَ وَهُمْ يَقولونَ: «يَعيشُ مَلِكُ اليَهُودِ!»

30 A nd they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head.

ثُمَّ بَصَقُوا عَلَيهِ، وَأخَذُوا القَصَبَةَ مِنْ يَدِهِ، وَبَدأوا يَضْرِبُونَهُ عَلَى رَأسِهِ.

31 A nd after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him.

وَلَمّا فَرَغُوا مِنَ السُّخرِيَةِ بِهِ، نَزَعُوا عَنْهُ الثَّوبَ، وَألبَسُوهُ ثِيابَهُ، وَخَرَجُوا بِهِ لِيَصلِبُوهُ. يَسُوعُ عَلَى الصَّلِيب

32 A nd as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross.

فَلَمّا خَرَجُوا، وَجَدُوا رَجُلاً مِنْ مَدِينَةِ قِيرِينَ اسْمُهُ سِمْعانُ، فَأجبَرُوهُ عَلَى حَملِ الصَّلِيبِ.

33 A nd when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull,

وَعِندَما وَصَلُوا إلَى مَكانٍ يُعرَفُ بِاسْمِ «الجُلْجُثَةَ،» أي «مَكانَ الجُمْجُمَةِ،»

34 T hey gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink.

أعطُوا يَسُوعَ نَبيذاً مَمزُوجاً بِمادَةٍ مُرَّةٍ لِيَشْرَبَهُ. فَلَمّا ذاقَهُ، رَفَضَ أنْ يَشْرَبَ.

35 A nd they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots.

وَلَمّا صَلَبُوا يَسُوعَ، قَسَّمُوا ثِيابَهُ عَلَيهِمْ، وَألقَوْا قُرعَةً بَينَهُمْ.

36 A nd sitting down they watched him there;

ثُمَّ جَلَسُوا هُناكَ يَحرُسُونَهُ.

37 A nd set up over his head his accusation written, This Is Jesus The King Of The Jews.

وَعَلَّقُوا فَوقَ رَأسِهِ لافِتَةً كُتِبَ عَلَيها: «هَذا يَسُوعُ، مَلِكُ اليَهُودِ،» بِاعتِبارِها تُهْمَتَهُ.

38 T hen were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left.

وَصُلِبَ مَعَ يَسوعَ مُجرِمانِ، واحِدٌ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَآخَرُ عَنْ يَسارِهِ.

39 A nd they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads,

وَكانَ المارُّونَ يَشْتِمُونَهُ، وَيَهُزُّونَ رُؤُوسَهُمْ

40 A nd saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross.

وَيَقولونَ: «أنتَ يا مَنْ سَتَهدِمُ الهَيكَلَ وَتَبنِيهِ فِي ثَلاثَةِ أيّامٍ، إنْ كُنتَ ابْنَ اللهِ، فَخَلِّصْ نَفسَكَ، وَانزِلْ عَنِ الصَّلِيبِ!»

41 L ikewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said,

وَكَذَلِكَ سَخِرَ بِهِ كِبارُ الكَهَنَةِ وَمُعَلِّمُو الشَّرِيعَةِ وَالشُّيُوخُ وَقالُوا:

42 H e saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.

«خَلَّصَ غَيرَهُ، لَكِنَّهُ لا يَستِطِيعُ أنْ يُخَلِّصَ نَفْسَهُ! هُوَ مَلِكَ بَني إسْرائِيلَ! فَلْيَنزِلْ عَنِ الصَّلِيبِ الآنَ فَنُؤْمِنَ بِهِ!

43 H e trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God.

وَضَعَ ثِقَتَهُ بِاللهِ، فَلْيُنقِذْهُ اللهُ الآنَ إنْ أرادَهُ فِعلاً. أفَلَمْ يَقُلْ: ‹أنا ابْنُ اللهِ›؟»

44 T he thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth.

وَكَذَلِكَ المُجرِمانِ المَصلُوبانِ مَعْهُ كانا يَشتِمانِهِ بِكَلامٍ مُشابِهٍ. مَوتُ يَسُوع

45 N ow from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.

وَمِنَ السّاعَةِ الثّانِيَةَ عَشْرَةَ ظُهْراً، خَيَّمَ الظَّلامُ عَلَى كُلِّ الأرْضِ حَتَّى السّاعَةِ الثّالِثَةِ بَعدَ الظُّهرِ.

46 A nd about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

وَنَحْوَ السّاعَةِ الثّالِثَةِ، صَرَخَ يَسُوعُ بِصَوتٍ عالٍ وَقالَ: «إيلِي، إيلِي، لَما شَبَقْتَنِي؟» أي: «إلَهي، إلَهي، لِماذا تَرَكْتَنِي؟»

47 S ome of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth for Elias.

وَلَمّا سَمِعَهُ بَعضُ الواقِفِينَ هُناكَ، قالُوا: «إنَّهُ يُنادِي إيلِيّا!»

48 A nd straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.

ثُمَّ أسرَعَ أحَدُ الواقِفِينَ هُناكَ، وَأخَذَ إسْفَنجَةً وَغَمَسَها بِالخَلِّ، وَوَضَعَها عَلَى قَصَبَةٍ طَويلَةٍ، وَقَدَّمَها لَهُ لِيَشْرَبَ.

49 T he rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him.

أمّا الباقُونَ فَكانُوا يَقُولُونَ: «لِنَنتَظِرْ وَنَرَ إنْ كانَ إيلِيّا سَيَأتِي لِيُنقِذَهُ!»

50 J esus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.

ثُمَّ صَرَخَ يَسُوعُ ثانِيَةً بِصَوتٍ مُرتَفِعٍ، وَأسلَمَ الرُّوحَ.

51 A nd, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;

فَانشَقَّتْ سِتارَةُ الهَيكَلِ إلَى نِصْفَينِ مِنْ فَوقٍ إلَى أسفَلِ، وَاهتَزَّتِ الأرْضُ، وَتَشَقَّقَتِ الصُّخُورُ،

52 A nd the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,

وَانفَتَحَتِ القُبُورُ، وَقامَتْ أجسادُ كَثِيرِينَ مِنَ المؤمِنينَ المُقَدَّسينَ الَّذِينَ كانُوا قَدْ ماتُوا.

53 A nd came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

وَبَعْدَ أنْ قامَ يَسُوعُ، خَرَجَتْ تِلْكَ الأجسادُ مِنْ قُبُورِها، وَدَخَلَتْ إلَى المَدِينَةِ المُقَدَّسَةِ، وَظَهَرَتْ لِكَثِيرِينَ.

54 N ow when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.

أمّا الضّابِطُ الرُّومانِيُّ، وَالحُرّاسُ الَّذِينَ كانُوا يَحرُسُونَ جَسَدَ يَسُوعَ، فَلَمّا رَأَوْا الزَّلْزَلَةَ وَالأحداثَ الأُخرَى، ارتَعَبُوا جِدّاً وَقالُوا: «كانَ هَذا حَقّاً ابْنَ اللهِ!»

55 A nd many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:

وَكانَتْ هُناكَ نِساءٌ يَقِفْنَ وَيَنظُرْنَ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ، وَكُنَّ قَدْ تَبِعْنَ يَسُوعَ مِنَ الجَلِيلِ لِيَخدِمْنَهُ.

56 A mong which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedees children.

فَمِنْهُنَّ مَريَمُ المَجدَلِيَّةُ، وَمَريَمُ أُمُّ يَعقُوبَ وَيُوسُفَ، وَكَذَلِكَ أُمُّ ابْنَي زَبَدِيّ. دَفْنُ يَسُوع

57 W hen the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple:

وَعِندَما جاءَ المَساءُ، جاءَ إلَى مَدِينَةِ القُدْسِ رَجُلٌ غَنِيٌّ اسْمُهُ يُوسُفُ، وَهوَ مِنْ بَلْدَةِ الرّامَةِ. وَقَدْ كانَ هُوَ أيضاً تِلمِيذاً لِيَسُوعَ.

58 H e went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered.

فَذَهَبَ إلَى بِيلاطُسَ وَطَلَبَ مِنهُ جَسَدَ يَسُوعَ. فَأمَرَ بِيلاطُسُ بِإعطائِهِ الجَسَدَ.

59 A nd when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

فَأخَذَ يُوسُفُ الجَسَدَ وَلَفَّهُ بِقُماشٍ جَدِيدٍ مِنَ الكَتّانِ،

60 A nd laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed.

ثُمَّ وَضَعَهُ فِي قَبْرِهِ الجَدِيدِ الَّذِي كانَ قَدْ حَفَرَهُ فِي الصَّخْرِ، ثُمَّ دَحرَجَ حَجَراً ضَخْماً عَلَى مَدخَلِ القَبْرِ وَذَهَبَ.

61 A nd there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.

وَكانَتْ مَريَمُ المَجدَلِيَّةُ، وَمَرْيَمُ الأُخرَى جالِسَتَينِ مُقابِلَ القَبْرِ. حِراسَةُ قَبْرِ يَسُوع

62 N ow the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,

وَفِي اليَومِ التّالِي، بَعْدَ أنِ انتَهَى يَومُ الجُمُعَةِ، اجتَمَعَ كِبارُ الكَهَنَةِ وَالفِرِّيسِيِّونَ مَعَ بِيلاطُسَ،

63 S aying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.

وَقالُوا لَهُ: «يا سَيِّدُ، نَتَذَكَّرُ أنَّ هَذا المُضِلُّ قالَ قَبلَ أنْ يَموتَ: «سَأقُومُ مِنَ المَوتِ بَعْدَ ثَلاثَةِ أيّامٍ.»

64 C ommand therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first.

فَاصدِرْ أمراً بِحِراسَةِ القَبْرِ حَتَّى اليَومِ الثّالِثِ، حَتَّى لا يَأتِيَ تَلامِيذُهُ وَيَسرِقُوا الجَسَدَ ثُمَّ يَقُولُوا للنّاسِ: ‹لَقَدْ قامَ مِنَ المَوتِ.› فَيَكونَ هَذا الضَّلالُ أسوَأ مِنَ الضَّلالِ الأوَّلِ.»

65 P ilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as ye can.

فَقالَ لَهُمْ بِيلاطُسُ: «خُذُوا حُرّاساً مِنَ الجُنْدِ، وَاذْهَبُوا وَتَأكَّدُوا مِنْ كُلَّ شَيءٍ بِمَعرِفَتِكُمْ.»

66 S o they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch.

فَذَهَبُوا وَضَبَطُوا القَبْرِ. وَوَضَعُوا خَتْماً عَلَى الحَجَرِ، كَما أقامُوا حُرّاساً مِنَ الجُنْدِ عَلَيهِ.
