¹فقام كل جمهورهم وجاءوا به الى بيلاطس.

¹And having risen, the whole multitude of them did lead him to Pilate,

²وابتدأوا يشتكون عليه قائلين اننا وجدنا هذا يفسد الامة ويمنع ان تعطى جزية لقيصر قائلا انه هو مسيح ملك.

²and began to accuse him, saying, `This one we found perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying himself to be Christ a king.`

³فسأله بيلاطس قائلا انت ملك اليهود. فاجابه وقال انت تقول.

³And Pilate questioned him, saying, `Thou art the king of the Jews?` and he answering him, said, `Thou dost say [it].`

⁴فقال بيلاطس لرؤساء الكهنة والجموع اني لا اجد علّة في هذا الانسان.

⁴And Pilate said unto the chief priests, and the multitude, `I find no fault in this man;`

⁵فكانوا يشددون قائلين انه يهيج الشعب وهو يعلّم في كل اليهودية مبتدئا من الجليل الى هنا.

⁵and they were the more urgent, saying — `He doth stir up the people, teaching throughout the whole of Judea — having begun from Galilee — unto this place.`

⁶فلما سمع بيلاطس ذكر الجليل سأل هل الرجل جليلي.

⁶And Pilate having heard of Galilee, questioned if the man is a Galilean,

⁷وحين علم انه من سلطنة هيرودس ارسله الى هيرودس اذ كان هو ايضا تلك الايام في اورشليم

⁷and having known that he is from the jurisdiction of Herod, he sent him back unto Herod, he being also in Jerusalem in those days.

⁸واما هيرودس فلما رأى يسوع فرح جدا لانه كان يريد من زمان طويل ان يراه لسماعه عنه اشياء كثيرة وترجى ان يرى آية تصنع منه.

⁸And Herod having seen Jesus did rejoice exceedingly, for he was wishing for a long [time] to see him, because of hearing many things about him, and he was hoping some sign to see done by him,

⁹وسأله بكلام كثير فلم يجبه بشيء.

⁹and was questioning him in many words, and he answered him nothing.

¹⁰ووقف رؤساء الكهنة والكتبة يشتكون عليه باشتداد.

¹⁰And the chief priests and the scribes stood vehemently accusing him,

¹¹فاحتقره هيرودس مع عسكره واستهزأ به والبسه لباسا لامعا ورده الى بيلاطس.

¹¹and Herod with his soldiers having set him at nought, and having mocked, having put around him gorgeous apparel, did send him back to Pilate,

¹²فصار بيلاطس وهيرودس صديقين مع بعضهما في ذلك اليوم لانهما كانا من قبل في عداوة بينهما

¹²and both Pilate and Herod became friends on that day with one another, for they were before at enmity between themselves.

¹³فدعا بيلاطس رؤساء الكهنة والعظماء والشعب

¹³And Pilate having called together the chief priests, and the rulers, and the people,

¹⁴وقال لهم. قد قدمتم اليّ هذا الانسان كمن يفسد الشعب. وها انا قد فحصت قدامكم ولم اجد في هذا الانسان علّة مما تشتكون به عليه.

¹⁴said unto them, `Ye brought to me this man as perverting the people, and lo, I before you having examined, found in this man no fault in those things ye bring forward against him;

¹⁵ولا هيرودس ايضا. لاني ارسلتكم اليه. وها لا شيء يستحق الموت صنع منه.

¹⁵no, nor yet Herod, for I sent you back unto him, and lo, nothing worthy of death is having been done by him;

¹⁶فانا أؤدبه واطلقه.

¹⁶having chastised, therefore, I will release him,`

¹⁷وكان مضطرا ان يطلق لهم كل عيد واحدا.

¹⁷for it was necessary for him to release to them one at every feast,

¹⁸فصرخوا بجملتهم قائلين خذ هذا واطلق لنا باراباس.

¹⁸and they cried out — the whole multitude — saying, `Away with this one, and release to us Barabbas,`

¹⁹وذاك كان قد طرح في السجن لاجل فتنة حدثت في المدينة وقتل.

¹⁹who had been, because of a certain sedition made in the city, and murder, cast into prison.

²⁰فناداهم ايضا بيلاطس وهو يريد ان يطلق يسوع.

²⁰Pilate again then — wishing to release Jesus — called to them,

²¹فصرخوا قائلين اصلبه اصلبه.

²¹but they were calling out, saying, `Crucify, crucify him.`

²²فقال لهم ثالثة فاي شر عمل هذا. اني لم اجد فيه علّة للموت. فانا أؤدبه واطلقه.

²²And he a third time said unto them, `Why, what evil did he? no cause of death did I find in him; having chastised him, then, I will release [him].`

²³فكانوا يلجّون باصوات عظيمة طالبين ان يصلب. فقويت اصواتهم واصوات رؤساء الكهنة.

²³And they were pressing with loud voices asking him to be crucified, and their voices, and those of the chief priests, were prevailing,

²⁴فحكم بيلاطس ان تكون طلبتهم.

²⁴and Pilate gave judgment for their request being done,

²⁵فاطلق لهم الذي طرح في السجن لاجل فتنة وقتل الذي طلبوه واسلم يسوع لمشيئتهم

²⁵and he released him who because of sedition and murder hath been cast into the prison, whom they were asking, and Jesus he gave up to their will.

²⁶ولما مضوا به امسكوا سمعان رجلا قيروانيا كان آتيا من الحقل ووضعوا عليه الصليب ليحمله خلف يسوع.

²⁶And as they led him away, having taken hold on Simon, a certain Cyrenian, coming from the field, they put on him the cross, to bear [it] behind Jesus.

²⁷وتبعه جمهور كثير من الشعب والنساء اللواتي كنّ يلطمن ايضا وينحن عليه.

²⁷And there was following him a great multitude of the people, and of women, who also were beating themselves and lamenting him,

²⁸فالتفت اليهنّ يسوع وقال. يا بنات اورشليم لا تبكين عليّ بل ابكين على انفسكنّ وعلى اولادكنّ.

²⁸and Jesus having turned unto them, said, `Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but for yourselves weep ye, and for your children;

²⁹لانه هوذا ايام تأتي يقولون فيها طوبى للعواقر والبطون التي لم تلد والثدي التي لم ترضع.

²⁹for, lo, days do come, in which they shall say, Happy the barren, and wombs that did not bare, and paps that did not give suck;

³⁰حينئذ يبتدئون يقولون للجبال اسقطي علينا وللآكام غطينا.

³⁰then they shall begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us, and to the hills, Cover us; —

³¹لانه ان كانوا بالعود الرطب يفعلون هذا فماذا يكون باليابس.

³¹for, if in the green tree they do these things — in the dry what may happen?`

³²وجاءوا ايضا باثنين آخرين مذنبين ليقتلا معه

³²And there were also others — two evil-doers — with him, to be put to death;

³³ولما مضوا به الى الموضع الذي يدعى جمجمة صلبوه هناك مع المذنبين واحدا عن يمينه والآخر عن يساره.

³³and when they came to the place that is called Skull, there they crucified him and the evil-doers, one on the right hand and one on the left.

³⁴فقال يسوع يا ابتاه اغفر لهم لانهم لا يعلمون ماذا يفعلون. واذ اقتسموا ثيابه اقترعوا عليها

³⁴And Jesus said, `Father, forgive them, for they have not known what they do;` and parting his garments they cast a lot.

³⁵وكان الشعب واقفين ينظرون. والرؤساء ايضا معهم يسخرون به قائلين خلّص آخرين فليخلّص نفسه ان كان هو المسيح مختار الله.

³⁵And the people were standing, looking on, and the rulers also were sneering with them, saying, `Others he saved, let him save himself, if this be the Christ, the choice one of God.`

³⁶والجند ايضا استهزأوا به وهم يأتون ويقدمون له خلا

³⁶And mocking him also were the soldiers, coming near and offering vinegar to him,

³⁷قائلين ان كنت انت ملك اليهود فخلّص نفسك.

³⁷and saying, `If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.`

³⁸وكان عنوان مكتوب فوقه باحرف يونانية ورومانية وعبرانية هذا هو ملك اليهود.

³⁸And there was also a superscription written over him, in letters of Greek, and Roman, and Hebrew, `This is the King of the Jews.`

³⁹وكان واحد من المذنبين المعلقين يجدف عليه قائلا ان كنت انت المسيح فخلّص نفسك وإيانا.

³⁹And one of the evil-doers who were hanged, was speaking evil of him, saying, `If thou be the Christ, save thyself and us.`

⁴⁰فاجاب الآخر وانتهره قائلا أولا انت تخاف الله اذ انت تحت هذا الحكم بعينه.

⁴⁰And the other answering, was rebuking him, saying, `Dost thou not even fear God, that thou art in the same judgment?

⁴¹اما نحن فبعدل لاننا ننال استحقاق ما فعلنا. واما هذا فلم يفعل شيئا ليس في محله.

⁴¹and we indeed righteously, for things worthy of what we did we receive back, but this one did nothing out of place;`

⁴²ثم قال ليسوع اذكرني يا رب متى جئت في ملكوتك.

⁴²and he said to Jesus, `Remember me, lord, when thou mayest come in thy reign;`

⁴³فقال له يسوع الحق اقول لك انك اليوم تكون معي في الفردوس

⁴³and Jesus said to him, `Verily I say to thee, To-day with me thou shalt be in the paradise.`

⁴⁴وكان نحو الساعة السادسة. فكانت ظلمة على الارض كلها الى الساعة التاسعة.

⁴⁴And it was, as it were, the sixth hour, and darkness came over all the land till the ninth hour,

⁴⁵واظلمت الشمس وانشقّ حجاب الهيكل من وسطه.

⁴⁵and the sun was darkened, and the vail of the sanctuary was rent in the midst,

⁴⁶ونادى يسوع بصوت عظيم وقال يا ابتاه في يديك استودع روحي. ولما قال هذا اسلم الروح.

⁴⁶and having cried with a loud voice, Jesus said, `Father, to Thy hands I commit my spirit;` and these things having said, he breathed forth the spirit.

⁴⁷فلما رأى قائد المئة ما كان مجّد الله قائلا بالحقيقة كان هذا الانسان بارا.

⁴⁷And the centurion having seen what was done, did glorify God, saying, `Really this man was righteous;`

⁴⁸وكل الجموع الذين كانوا مجتمعين لهذا المنظر لما ابصروا ما كان رجعوا وهم يقرعون صدورهم.

⁴⁸and all the multitudes who were come together to this sight, beholding the things that came to pass, smiting their breasts did turn back;

⁴⁹وكان جميع معارفه ونساء كنّ قد تبعنه من الجليل واقفين من بعيد ينظرون ذلك

⁴⁹and all his acquaintances stood afar off, and women who did follow him from Galilee, beholding these things.

⁵⁰واذا رجل اسمه يوسف وكان مشيرا ورجلا صالحا بارا.

⁵⁰And lo, a man, by name Joseph, being a counsellor, a man good and righteous,

⁵¹هذا لم يكن موافقا لرأيهم وعملهم. وهو من الرامة مدينة لليهود. وكان هو ايضا ينتظر ملكوت الله.

⁵¹— he was not consenting to their counsel and deed — from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, who also himself was expecting the reign of God,

⁵²هذا تقدم الى بيلاطس وطلب جسد يسوع.

⁵²he, having gone near to Pilate, asked the body of Jesus,

⁵³وانزله ولفه بكتان ووضعه في قبر منحوت حيث لم يكن احد وضع قط.

⁵³and having taken it down, he wrapped it in fine linen, and placed it in a tomb hewn out, where no one was yet laid.

⁵⁴وكان يوم الاستعداد والسبت يلوح.

⁵⁴And the day was a preparation, and sabbath was approaching,

⁵⁵وتبعته نساء كنّ قد أتين معه من الجليل ونظرن القبر وكيف وضع جسده.

⁵⁵and the women also who have come with him out of Galilee having followed after, beheld the tomb, and how his body was placed,

⁵⁶فرجعن وأعددن حنوطا واطيابا. وفي السبت استرحن حسب الوصية

⁵⁶and having turned back, they made ready spices and ointments, and on the sabbath, indeed, they rested, according to the command.
