1 S o Pilate then took Jesus, and flogged him.

فَأمَرَ بِيلاطُسُ بِأنْ يُؤخَذَ يَسُوعُ وَيُجلَدَ.

2 T he soldiers twisted thorns into a crown, and put it on his head, and dressed him in a purple garment.

فَصَنَعَ الجُنُودُ تاجاً مِنَ الشَّوكِ وَوَضَعُوهُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ، ثُمَّ ألبَسُوهُ رِداءً أُرجُوانِيَّ اللَّونِ.

3 T hey kept saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and they kept slapping him.

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

4 T hen Pilate went out again, and said to them, “Behold, I bring him out to you, that you may know that I find no basis for a charge against him.”

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

5 J esus therefore came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment. Pilate said to them, “Behold, the man!”

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

6 W hen therefore the chief priests and the officers saw him, they shouted, saying, “Crucify! Crucify!” Pilate said to them, “Take him yourselves, and crucify him, for I find no basis for a charge against him.”

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

7 T he Jews answered him, “We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.”

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

8 W hen therefore Pilate heard this saying, he was more afraid.

فَلَمّا سَمِعَ بِيلاطُسُ هَذا خافَ كَثِيْراً.

9 H e entered into the Praetorium again, and said to Jesus, “Where are you from?” But Jesus gave him no answer.

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

10 P ilate therefore said to him, “Aren’t you speaking to me? Don’t you know that I have power to release you, and have power to crucify you?”

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

11 J esus answered, “You would have no power at all against me, unless it were given to you from above. Therefore he who delivered me to you has greater sin.”

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

12 A t this, Pilate was seeking to release him, but the Jews cried out, saying, “If you release this man, you aren’t Caesar’s friend! Everyone who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar!”

بَعدَ 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.»

13 W hen Pilate therefore heard these words, he brought Jesus out, and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called “The Pavement”, but in Hebrew, “Gabbatha.”

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

14 N ow it was the Preparation Day of the Passover, at about the sixth hour. He said to the Jews, “Behold, your King!”

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

15 T hey cried out, “Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him!” Pilate said to them, “Shall I crucify your King?” The chief priests answered, “We have no king but Caesar!”

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

16 S o then he delivered him to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus and led him away.

حِيْنَئِذٍ سَلَّمَهُ بِيلاطُسُ إلَيْهِمْ لِكَيْ يُصلَبَ. يَسُوعُ عَلَى الصَّلِيْب فَأخَذَ الجُنُودُ يَسُوعَ.

17 H e went out, bearing his cross, to the place called “The Place of a Skull”, which is called in Hebrew, “Golgotha”,

فَمَضَى حامِلاً صَلِيْبَهُ إلَى مَكانٍ يُدعَى «مَكانَ الجُمجُمَةِ،» وَبِالآرامِيَّةِ «جُلجُثَةَ.»

18 w here they crucified him, and with him two others, on either side one, and Jesus in the middle.

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

19 P ilate wrote a title also, and put it on the cross. There was written, “JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

وَكَتَبَ بِيلاطُسُ لافِتَةً تَقُولُ: «يَسُوعُ النّاصِرِيُّ، مَلِكُ اليَهُودِ.» وَعَلَّقَها عَلَى الصَّلِيْبِ.

20 T herefore 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, and in Greek.

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

21 T he chief priests of the Jews therefore said to Pilate, “Don’t write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but, ‘he said, I am King of the Jews.’”

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

22 P ilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.”

فَأجابَ بِيلاطُسُ: «فاتَ الأوانُ، فَقَدْ كَتَبتُ ما كَتَبتُ.»

23 T hen the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also the coat. Now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.

وَكانَ 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.

24 T hen they said to one another, “Let’s not tear it, but cast lots for it to decide whose it will be,” that the Scripture might be fulfilled, which says, “They parted my garments among them. For my cloak they cast lots.” Therefore the soldiers did these things.

فَقالَ 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.

25 B ut there were standing by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.

وَكانَتْ أُمُّ يَسُوعَ وَأُختُها، وَمَريَمُ زَوجَةُ كِلُوبا، وَمَريَمُ المَجدَلِيَّةُ واقِفاتٍ عِندَ الصَّلِيْبِ.

26 T herefore when Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing there, he said to his mother, “Woman, behold your son!”

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

27 T hen he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!” From that hour, the disciple took her to his own home.

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

28 A fter this, Jesus, seeing that all things were now finished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, “I am thirsty.”

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

29 N ow a vessel full of vinegar was set there; so they put a sponge full of the vinegar on hyssop, and held it at his mouth.

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

30 W hen Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, “It is finished.” He bowed his head, and gave up his spirit.

فَلَمّا ذاقَ يَسُوعُ الخَلَّ، قالَ: «قَدْ تَمَّ.» ثُمَّ حَنَى رَأْسَهُ وَماتَ.

31 T herefore the Jews, because it was the Preparation Day, so that the bodies wouldn’t remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a special one), asked of Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

حَدَثَ 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.

32 T herefore the soldiers came, and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who was crucified with him;

فَجاءَ الجُنُودُ وَكَسَرُوا ساقَي الرَّجُلَيْنِ المَصلُوبَيْنِ مَعَ يَسُوعَ.

33 b ut when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was already dead, they didn’t break his legs.

أمّا يَسُوعُ فَلَمْ يَكسِرُوا ساقَيْهِ، لِأنَّهُمْ لَمّا جاءُوا إلَيْهِ وَجَدُوا أنَّهُ قَدْ ماتَ.

34 H owever one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.

لَكِنَّ واحِداً مِنَ الجُنُودِ طَعَنَ جَنبَهُ بِرُمحِهِ، فَتَدَفَّقَ مِنهُ عَلَى الفَورِ دَمٌ وَماءٌ.

35 H e who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true. He knows that he tells the truth, that you may believe.

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

36 F or these things happened, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, “A bone of him will not be broken.”

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

37 A gain another Scripture says, “They will look on him whom they pierced.”

وَقَولُهُ فِي مَوضِعٍ آخَرَ: «سَيَنظُرُ النّاسُ إلَى ذاكَ الَّذِي طَعَنُوهُ.» دَفْنُ يَسُوع

38 A fter these things, Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked of Pilate that he might take away Jesus’ body. Pilate gave him permission. He came therefore and took away his body.

بَعدَ 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.

39 N icodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night, also came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred Roman pounds.

كَما 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.

40 S o they took Jesus’ body, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury.

فَأخَذا جَسَدَ يَسُوعَ وَلَفّاهُ بِالأكفانِ مَعَ الأطيابِ، حَسَبَ عاداتِ الدَّفْنِ اليَهُودِيَّةِ.

41 N ow in the place where he was crucified there was a garden. In the garden was a new tomb in which no man had ever yet been laid.

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

42 T hen because of the Jews’ Preparation Day (for the tomb was near at hand) they laid Jesus there.

فَوَضَعا يَسُوعَ هُناكَ لِأنَّهُ كانَ يَومَ استِعدادِ اليَهُودِ لِلسَّبْتِ، وَلِأنَّ القَبْرَ كانَ قَرِيْباً.
