1 T hen six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, who had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.

وَقَبلَ سِتَّةِ أيّامٍ مِنْ عِيْدِ الفِصْحِ، ذَهَبَ يَسُوعُ إلَى بَيْتَ عَنْيا. وَهِيَ بَلْدَةُ لِعازَرَ الَّذِي أقامَهُ يَسُوعُ مِنَ المَوْتِ.

2 S o they made him a supper there. Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with him.

وَهُناكَ أعَدُّوا لَهُ عَشاءً، وَكانَتْ مَرْثا تُجَهِّزُ الطَّعامَ. وَكانَ لِعازَرُ أحَدَ المُتَّكِئِيْنَ مَعَ يَسُوعَ.

3 M ary, therefore, took a pound of ointment of pure nard, very precious, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment.

أمّا مَرْيَمُ فَقَدْ أخَذَتْ قارُورَةً مِنَ العِطْرِ الثَّمِيْنِ المَصْنُوعِ مِنْ زَيْتِ نَباتِ النّاردِيْنِ النَّقِيِّ وَسَكَبَتْهُ عَلَى قَدَمَيْ يَسُوعَ، ثُمَّ نَشَّفَتْهُما بِشَعْرِها. فَامتَلأ البَيْتُ كُلُّهُ بِعَبِيْرِ العِطْرِ.

4 T hen Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, one of his disciples, who would betray him, said,

فَقالَ أحَدُ تَلامِيْذِ يَسُوعَ – وَهُوَ يَهُوذا الإسْخَرْيُوطِيِّ الَّذِي سَيَخُونُهُ:

5 “ Why wasn’t this ointment sold for three hundred denarii, and given to the poor?”

«لِماذا لَمْ يُبَعْ هَذا العِطْرُ بِمَبلَغٍ كَبِيْرٍ مِنَ المالِ يُعْطَى لِلفُقَراءِ؟»

6 N ow he said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and having the money box, used to steal what was put into it.

وَلَمْ يَقُلْ يَهُوذا ذَلِكَ اهتِماماً مِنْهُ بِالفُقَراءِ، بَلْ لِأنَّهُ كانَ سارِقاً. كانَ هُوَ الَّذِي يَحتَفِظُ بِصُنْدُوقِ المالِ، وَكانَ يَختَلِسُ مِمّا يُوضَعُ فِيْهِ.

7 B ut Jesus said, “Leave her alone. She has kept this for the day of my burial.

فَقالَ يَسُوعُ: «دَعُوها وَشَأْنَها! فَمِنَ الحَسَنِ أنَّها احتَفَظَتْ بِهَذا العِطْرِ لِهَذا اليَوْمِ، يَوْمِ الإعدادِ لِدَفْنِي.

8 F or you always have the poor with you, but you don’t always have me.”

الفُقَراءُ سَيَكُونُونَ عِنْدَكُمْ دائِماً، أمّا أنا فَلَسْتُ مَعَكُمْ دائِماً.» التَّآمُرُ عَلَى لِعازَر

9 A large crowd therefore of the Jews learned that he was there, and they came, not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.

وَعَلِمَ جَمْعٌ كَبِيْرٌ مِنَ اليَهُودِ الَّذِيْنَ جاءُوا لِلاحتِفالِ بِالفِصْحِ أنَّ يَسُوعَ فِي بَيْتَ عَنْيا. فَجاءُوا لا مِنْ أجلِ يَسُوعَ فَقَط، بَلْ أيضاً لِكَيْ يَرَوا لِعازَرَ الَّذِي أقامَهُ يَسُوعُ مِنَ المَوْتِ.

10 B ut the chief priests conspired to put Lazarus to death also,

وَلِهَذا بَدَأ كِبارُ الكَهَنَةِ يُخَطِّطُونَ لِقَتلِ لِعازَرَ أيضاً.

11 b ecause on account of him many of the Jews went away and believed in Jesus.

فَبِسَبَبِهِ كانَ كَثِيْرُونَ مِنَ اليَهُودِ يَتْرُكُونَ قادَتَهُمْ وَيُؤْمِنُونَ بِيَسُوعَ. يَسُوعُ يَدْخُلُ مَدِيْنَةَ القُدْس

12 O n the next day a great multitude had come to the feast. When they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

وَفِي اليَوْمِ التّالِي سَمِعَ الجَمْعُ الكَبِيْرُ الَّذِي جاءَ إلَى عِيْدِ الفِصْحِ أنَّ يَسُوعَ قادِمٌ إلَى مَدينَةِ القُدْسِ.

13 t hey took the branches of the palm trees, and went out to meet him, and cried out, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel!”

فَحَمَلُوا أغصاناً مِنْ شَجَرِ النَّخلِ، وَخَرَجُوا لاسْتِقْبالِهِ. وَبَدَأُوا يَهْتِفُونَ: «يَعِيْشُ المَلِكُ! مُبارَكٌ هُوَ الآتِي بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ. مُبارَكٌ مَلِكُ بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ!»

14 J esus, having found a young donkey, sat on it. As it is written,

وَوَجَدَ يَسُوعُ حِماراً فَرَكِبَهُ كَما هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ:

15 “ Don’t be afraid, daughter of Zion. Behold, your King comes, sitting on a donkey’s colt.”

«لا تَخافِي أيَّتُها العَزِيزَةُ صِهْيَوْنُ، ها إنَّ مَلِكَكِ آتٍ راكِباً عَلَى حِمارٍ صَغِيْرٍ.»

16 H is disciples didn’t understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about him, and that they had done these things to him.

وَلَمْ يَفْهَمِ التَّلامِيْذُ أوَّلَ الأمْرِ ما يَحْدُثُ، لَكِنَّهُمْ تَذَكَّرُوا بَعْدَ أنْ تَمَجَّدَ يَسُوعُ أنَّ هَذِهِ الأُمُورَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ عَنْهُ، وَأنَّهُمْ تَمَّمُوها لَهُ.

17 T he multitude therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from the dead, was testifying about it.

وَكانَ هُناكَ جَمْعٌ مِنَ النّاسِ عِندَما نادَى يَسُوعُ لِعازَرَ مِنَ القَبْرِ وَأقامَهُ مِنَ المَوْتِ. فَكانُوا يُخبِرُونَ الجَمِيعَ بِما حَدَثَ.

18 F or this cause also the multitude went and met him, because they heard that he had done this sign.

لِذَلِكَ خَرَجَتْ جُمُوعُ النّاسِ لِلِقائِهِ، فَقَدْ سَمِعُوا أنَّهُ هُوَ الَّذِي صَنَعَ تِلْكَ المُعجِزَةَ.

19 T he Pharisees therefore said among themselves, “See how you accomplish nothing. Behold, the world has gone after him.”

فَقالَ الفِرِّيْسِيُّونَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ: «انظُرُوا! إنَّ خِطَتَنا لا تُحَقِّقُ شَيْئاً، فَها هُوَ العالَمُ كُلُّهُ يَتْبَعُهُ!» الحَياةُ وَالمَوْت

20 N ow there were certain Greeks among those that went up to worship at the feast.

وَكانَ بَعضُ اليُونانِيِّيْنَ قَدْ ذَهَبُوا إلَى مَدينَةِ القُدْسِ لِلعِبادَةِ فِي عِيدِ الفِصْحِ أيضاً.

21 T hese, therefore, came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, “Sir, we want to see Jesus.”

فَذَهَبُوا إلَى فِيلِبُّسَ، وَهُوَ مِنْ بَلْدَةِ بَيْتِ صَيْدا فِي إقلِيْمِ الجَلِيلِ، وَرَجُوهُ فَقالوا: «يا سَيِّدُ، نُرِيْدُ أنْ نَرَى يَسُوعَ.»

22 P hilip came and told Andrew, and in turn, Andrew came with Philip, and they told Jesus.

فَجاءَ فِيلِبُّسُ وَأخبَرَ أندراوُسَ. ثُمَّ جاءَ أندَراوُسُ وَفِيلِبُّسُ وَأخبَرا يَسُوعَ.

23 J esus answered them, “The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.

فَقالَ يَسُوعُ: «آنَ الأوانُ لِيَتَمَجَّدَ ابْنُ الإنسانِ.

24 M ost certainly I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains by itself alone. But if it dies, it bears much fruit.

أقُولُ الحَقَّ لَكُمْ: يَنبَغِي أنْ تَقَعَ حَبَّةُ القَمْحِ عَلَى الأرْضِ وَتَمُوتَ، وَإلّا فَإنَّها تَظَلُّ حَبَّةً وَحِيْدَةً. لَكِنَّها إنْ وَقَعَتْ عَلَى الأرْضِ وَماتَتْ، فَإنَّها تُنتِجُ ثَمَراً كَثِيْراً.

25 H e who loves his life will lose it. He who hates his life in this world will keep it to eternal life.

مَنْ يَتَعَلَّقُ بِحَياتِهِ يَخسَرُها، أمّا الَّذِي لا يَتَعَلَّقُ بِحَياتِهِ فِي هَذا العالَمِ فَسَيَحفَظُها لِلحَياةِ الأبَدِيَّةِ.

26 I f anyone serves me, let him follow me. Where I am, there will my servant also be. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.

فَلْيَتبَعْنِي مَنْ يُرِيْدُ أنْ يَخدِمَنِي. وَحَيْثُ أكُونُ أنا، سَيَكُونُ خادِمِي أيضاً. إنْ كانَ أحَدٌ يَخدِمُنِي، فَسَيُكْرِمُهُ الآبُ.» يَسُوعُ يُنبئُ باقتِرابِ مَوْتِه

27 “ Now my soul is troubled. What shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this time?’ But for this cause I came to this time.

«الآنَ تَتَضايَقُ نَفْسِي، فَماذا أقُولُ؟ أأقُولُ نَجِّنِي أيُّها الآبُ مِنْ ساعَةِ الألَمِ هَذِهِ؟ لَكِنِّي جِئْتُ مِنْ أجلِ هَذِهِ السّاعَةِ.

28 F ather, glorify your name!” Then there came a voice out of the sky, saying, “I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.”

فَمَجِّدِ اسْمَكَ أيُّها الآبُ.» فَجاءَ مِنَ السَّماءِ صَوْتٌ يَقُولُ: «لَقَدْ مَجَّدْتُهُ، وَسَأُمَجِّدُهُ أيضاً.»

29 T he multitude therefore, who stood by and heard it, said that it had thundered. Others said, “An angel has spoken to him.”

وَكانَ هُناكَ جَمْعٌ مِنَ النّاسِ، فَسَمِعُوا الصَّوْتَ، وَقالَ بَعضُهُمْ: «هَذا صَوْتُ الرَّعْدِ.» وَقالَ آخَرُونَ: «بَلْ كَلَّمَهُ مَلاكٌ!»

30 J esus answered, “This voice hasn’t come for my sake, but for your sakes.

فَأجابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «لَمْ يَأْتِ هَذا الصَّوْتُ مِنْ أجلِي أنا، بَلْ مِنْ أجلِكُمْ أنتُمْ.

31 N ow is the judgment of this world. Now the prince of this world will be cast out.

الآنَ هُوَ وَقْتُ الحُكْمِ عَلَى هَذا العالَمِ. الآنَ سَيُطْرَدُ حاكِمُ هَذا العالَمِ خارِجاً.

32 A nd I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.”

وَإذا رُفِعْتُ عَنِ الأرْضِ، سَأجذِبُ الجَمِيعَ إلَيَّ.»

33 B ut he said this, signifying by what kind of death he should die.

قالَ هَذا مُشِيْراً إلَى المِيْتَةِ الَّتِي سَيَمُوتُها.

34 T he multitude answered him, “We have heard out of the law that the Christ remains forever. How do you say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up?’ Who is this Son of Man?”

فَقالَ لَهُ بَعْضُهُمْ: «لَقَدْ سَمِعْنا مِنَ الشَّرِيْعَةِ أنَّ المَسِيْحَ سَيَبْقَى إلَى الأبَدِ، فَكَيْفَ تَقُولُ إنَّهُ يَنبَغِي لابْنِ الإنسانِ أنْ يُرْفَعَ؟ إذاً أيُّ ابْنِ إنسانٍ هَذا؟»

35 J esus therefore said to them, “Yet a little while the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, that darkness doesn’t overtake you. He who walks in the darkness doesn’t know where he is going.

فَقالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «سَيَبْقَى النُّورُ مَعْكُمْ زَماناً قَصِيْراً بَعْدُ، فَسِيْرُوا مادامَ النُّورُ مَعْكُمْ، وَقَبلَ أنْ تُدرِكَكُمُ الظُّلْمَةُ. لِأنَّ السّائِرَ فِي الظُّلمَةِ لا يَعلَمُ إلَى أيْنَ يَتَّجِهُ.

36 W hile you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become children of light.” Jesus said these things, and he departed and hid himself from them.

آمِنُوا بِالنُّورِ مادامَ مَعَكُمْ، فَتَصِيْرُوا أولادَ النُّورِ.» قالَ يَسُوعُ هَذا وَمَضَى وَتَوارَىْ عَنْهُمْ. اليَهُودُ يُرْفُضُونَ أنْ يُؤْمِنُوا بِيَسُوع

37 B ut though he had done so many signs before them, yet they didn’t believe in him,

صَنَعَ يَسُوعُ كُلَّ هَذِهِ المُعجِزاتِ أمامَهُمْ. لَكِنَّهُمْ كانُوا يَرفُضُونَ أنْ يُؤْمِنُوا بِهِ.

38 t hat the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke, “Lord, who has believed our report? To whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”

فَصَحَّ فِيْهِمْ قَولُ النَّبِيِّ إشَعْياءَ: «يا رَبُّ، مَنِ الَّذِي صَدَّقَ رِسالَتَنا، وَلِمَنْ أُظهِرَتْ قُوَّةُ الرَّبِّ ؟»

39 F or this cause they couldn’t believe, for Isaiah said again,

وَلَمْ يَكُنْ بِإمكانِهِمْ أنْ يُؤمِنُوا، فَإشَعْياءُ قالَ أيضاً:

40 “ He has blinded their eyes and he hardened their heart, lest they should see with their eyes, and perceive with their heart, and would turn, and I would heal them.”

«قَدْ أعمَى اللهُ عُيُونَهُمْ، وَقَسَّى قُلُوبَهُمْ. فَلا يَقدِرُونَ أنْ يُبصِرُوا بِعُيُونِهِمْ، وَلا أنْ يَفهَمُوا بِقُلُوبِهِمْ، لِكَيلا يَرجِعُوا إلَيَّ فَأُشْفِيْهِمْ.»

41 I saiah said these things when he saw his glory, and spoke of him.

قالَ إشَعْياءُ هَذا لِأنَّهُ رَأى مَجدَ يَسُوعَ وَتَحَدَّثَ عَنْهُ.

42 N evertheless even of the rulers many believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they didn’t confess it, so that they wouldn’t be put out of the synagogue,

وَمَعَ ذَلِكَ، كانَ هُناكَ كَثِيْرُونَ قَدْ آمَنُوا بِهِ مِنْ قادَةِ اليَهُودِ. لَكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يُجاهِرُوا بِإيْمانِهِمْ خَوفاً مِنَ الفِرِّيْسِيِّيْنَ، لِأنَّهُمْ كانُوا يَخافُونَ أنْ يُحرَمُوا مِنْ دُخُولِ المَجمَعِ.

43 f or they loved men’s praise more than God’s praise.

فَقَدْ كانُوا يُحِبُّونَ إكرامَ النّاسِ لَهُمْ أكثَرَ مِنْ إكرامِ اللهِ. تَعلِيْمُ يَسُوعَ سَيَحكُمُ عَلَى العالَم

44 J esus cried out and said, “Whoever believes in me, believes not in me, but in him who sent me.

وَقالَ يَسُوعُ بِصَوتٍ مُرتَفِعٍ: «مَنْ يُؤمِنُ بِي، فَإنَّهُ لا يُؤمِنُ بِي أنا، بَلْ يُؤمِنُ بِذاكَ الَّذِي أرسَلَنِي.

45 H e who sees me sees him who sent me.

وَمَنْ يَرانِي يَرَى ذاكَ الَّذِي أرسَلَنِي.

46 I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in me may not remain in the darkness.

لَقَدْ جِئْتُ نُوراً لِلعالَمِ، فَكُلُّ مَنْ يُؤمِنُ بِي لا يَبْقَى فِي الظَّلمَةِ.

47 I f anyone listens to my sayings, and doesn’t believe, I don’t judge him. For I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.

إنْ سَمِعَ أحَدٌ كَلامِي وَلَمْ يُطِعْهُ، فَإنِّي لا أحكُمُ عَلَيْهِ. فَأنا لَمْ آتِ لِكَي أحكُمَ عَلَى العالَمِ، بَلْ جِئْتُ لِأُخَلِّصَ العالَمَ.

48 H e who rejects me, and doesn’t receive my sayings, has one who judges him. The word that I spoke, the same will judge him in the last day.

وَمَنْ يَرفُضُنِي وَيَرفُضُ أنْ يَقبَلَ كَلامِي، فَهُناكَ ما يَحكُمُ عَلَيْهِ: الرِّسالَةُ الَّتِي عَلَّمْتُها هِيَ الَّتِي سَتَحكُمُ عَلَيْهِ فِي اليَوْمِ الأخِيْرِ.

49 F or I spoke not from myself, but the Father who sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.

فَأنا لَمْ أتَكَلَّمْ مِنْ عِندِي، بَلِ الآبُ نَفسُهُ الَّذِي أرسَلَنِي هُوَ الَّذِي أوصانِي بِما أقُولُ وَبِما أتَكَلَّمُ.

50 I know that his commandment is eternal life. The things therefore which I speak, even as the Father has said to me, so I speak.”

وَأنا أعلَمُ أنَّ وَصِيَّتَهُ تُؤَدِّي إلَى الحَياةِ الأبَدِيَّةِ. فَما أتَكَلَّمُ بِهِ الآنَ، إنَّما أتَكَلَّمُ بِهِ كَما تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ الآبُ إلَيَّ.»
