¹ولما كان الصباح تشاور جميع رؤساء الكهنة وشيوخ الشعب على يسوع حتى يقتلوه.

¹And morning having come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus, so as to put him to death;

²فاوثقوه ومضوا به ودفعوه الى بيلاطس البنطي الوالي

²and having bound him, they did lead away, and delivered him up to Pontius Pilate, the governor.

³حينئذ لما رأى يهوذا الذي اسلمه انه قد دين ندم وردّ الثلاثين من الفضة الى رؤساء الكهنة والشيوخ

³Then Judas — he who delivered him up — having seen that he was condemned, having repented, brought back the thirty silverlings to the chief priests, and to the elders, saying,

⁴قائلا قد اخطأت اذ سلمت دما بريئا. فقالوا ماذا علينا. انت ابصر.

⁴`I did sin, having delivered up innocent blood;` and they said, `What — to us? thou shalt see!`

⁵فطرح الفضة في الهيكل وانصرف. ثم مضى وخنق نفسه.

⁵and having cast down the silverlings in the sanctuary, he departed, and having gone away, he did strangle himself.

⁶فاخذ رؤساء الكهنة الفضة وقالوا لا يحل ان نلقيها في الخزانة لانها ثمن دم.

⁶And the chief priests having taken the silverlings, said, `It is not lawful to put them to the treasury, seeing it is the price of blood;`

⁷فتشاوروا واشتروا بها حقل الفخاري مقبرة للغرباء.

⁷and having taken counsel, they bought with them the field of the potter, for the burial of strangers;

⁸لهذا سمي ذلك الحقل حقل الدم الى هذا اليوم.

⁸therefore was that field called, `Field of blood,` unto this day.

⁹حينئذ تم ما قيل بارميا النبي القائل وأخذوا الثلاثين من الفضة ثمن المثمن الذي ثمنوه من بني اسرائيل

⁹Then was fulfilled that spoken through Jeremiah the prophet, saying, `And I took the thirty silverlings, the price of him who hath been priced, whom they of the sons of Israel did price,

¹⁰واعطوها عن حقل الفخاري كما امرني الرب

¹⁰and gave them for the field of the potter, as the Lord did appoint to me.`

¹¹فوقف‎يسوع‎امام الوالي فسأله الوالي قائلا أانت ملك اليهود. فقال له يسوع انت تقول.

¹¹And Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor did question him, saying, `Art thou the king of the Jews!` And Jesus said to him, `Thou sayest.`

¹²وبينما كان رؤساء الكهنة والشيوخ يشتكون عليه لم يجب بشيء.

¹²And in his being accused by the chief priests and the elders, he did not answer any thing,

¹³فقال له بيلاطس أما تسمع كم يشهدون عليك.

¹³then saith Pilate to him, `Dost thou not hear how many things they witness against thee?`

¹⁴فلم يجبه ولا عن كلمة واحدة حتى تعجب الوالي جدا

¹⁴And he did not answer him, not even to one word, so that the governor did wonder greatly.

¹⁵وكان الوالي معتادا في العيد ان يطلق للجمع اسيرا واحدا من ارادوه.

¹⁵And at the feast the governor had been accustomed to release one to the multitude, a prisoner, whom they willed,

¹⁶وكان لهم حينئذ اسير مشهور يسمى باراباس.

¹⁶and they had then a noted prisoner, called Barabbas,

¹⁷ففيما هم مجتمعون قال لهم بيلاطس من تريدون ان اطلق لكم. باراباس ام يسوع الذي يدعى المسيح.

¹⁷they therefore having been gathered together, Pilate said to them, `Whom will ye I shall release to you? Barabbas or Jesus who is called Christ?`

¹⁸لانه علم انهم اسلموه حسدا.

¹⁸for he had known that because of envy they had delivered him up.

¹⁹واذ كان جالسا على كرسي الولاية ارسلت اليه امرأته قائلة اياك وذلك البار. لاني تألمت اليوم كثيرا في حلم من اجله.

¹⁹And as he is sitting on the tribunal, his wife sent unto him, saying, `Nothing — to thee and to that righteous one, for many things did I suffer to-day in a dream because of him.`

²⁰ولكن رؤساء الكهنة والشيوخ حرّضوا الجموع على ان يطلبوا باراباس ويهلكوا يسوع.

²⁰And the chief priests and the elders did persuade the multitudes that they might ask for themselves Barabbas, and might destroy Jesus;

²¹فاجاب الوالي وقال لهم من من الاثنين تريدون ان اطلق لكم. فقالوا باراباس.

²¹and the governor answering said to them, `Which of the two will ye [that] I shall release to you?` And they said, `Barabbas.`

²²قال لهم بيلاطس فماذا افعل بيسوع الذي يدعى المسيح. قال له الجميع ليصلب.

²²Pilate saith to them, `What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?` They all say to him, `Let be crucified!`

²³فقال الوالي وايّ شر عمل. فكانوا يزدادون صراخا قائلين ليصلب.

²³And the governor said, `Why, what evil did he?` and they were crying out the more, saying, `Let be crucified.`

²⁴فلما رأى بيلاطس انه لا ينفع شيئا بل بالحري يحدث شغب اخذ ماء وغسل يديه قدام الجمع قائلا اني بريء من دم هذا البار. ابصروا انتم.

²⁴And Pilate having seen that it profiteth nothing, but rather a tumult is made, having taken water, he did wash the hands before the multitude, saying, `I am innocent from the blood of this righteous one; ye — ye shall see;`

²⁵فاجاب جميع الشعب وقالوا دمه علينا وعلى اولادنا.

²⁵and all the people answering said, `His blood [is] upon us, and upon our children!`

²⁶حينئذ اطلق لهم باراباس. واما يسوع فجلده واسلمه ليصلب

²⁶Then did he release to them Barabbas, and having scourged Jesus, he delivered [him] up that he may be crucified;

²⁷فاخذ عسكر الوالي يسوع الى دار الولاية وجمعوا عليه كل الكتيبة.

²⁷then the soldiers of the governor having taken Jesus to the Praetorium, did gather to him all the band;

²⁸فعروه والبسوه رداء قرمزيا.

²⁸and having unclothed him, they put around him a crimson cloak,

²⁹وضفروا اكليلا من شوك ووضعوه على راسه وقصبة في يمينه. وكانوا يجثون قدامه ويستهزئون به قائلين السلام يا ملك اليهود.

²⁹and having plaited him a crown out of thorns they put [it] on his head, and a reed in his right hand, and having kneeled before him, they were mocking him, saying, `Hail, the king of the Jews.`

³⁰وبصقوا عليه واخذوا القصبة وضربوه على راسه.

³⁰And having spit on him, they took the reed, and were smiting on his head;

³¹وبعدما استهزئوا به نزعوا عنه الرداء والبسوه ثيابه ومضوا به للصلب

³¹and when they had mocked him, they took off from him the cloak, and put on him his own garments, and led him away to crucify [him].

³²وفيما هم خارجون وجدوا انسانا قيروانيا اسمه سمعان فسخروه ليحمل صليبه.

³²And coming forth, they found a man, a Cyrenian, by name Simon: him they impressed that he might bear his cross;

³³ولما أتوا الى موضع يقال له جلجثة وهو المسمى موضع الجمجمة

³³and having come to a place called Golgotha, that is called Place of a Skull,

³⁴اعطوه خلا ممزوجا بمرارة ليشرب. ولما ذاق لم يرد ان يشرب.

³⁴they gave him to drink vinegar mixed with gall, and having tasted, he would not drink.

³⁵ولما صلبوه اقتسموا ثيابه مقترعين عليها. لكي يتم ما قيل بالنبي اقتسموا ثيابي بينهم وعلى لباسي القوا قرعة.

³⁵And having crucified him, they divided his garments, casting a lot, that it might be fulfilled that was spoken by the prophet, `They divided my garments to themselves, and over my vesture they cast a lot;`

³⁶ثم جلسوا يحرسونه هناك.

³⁶and sitting down, they were watching him there,

³⁷وجعلوا فوق راسه علته مكتوبة هذا هو يسوع ملك اليهود.

³⁷and they put up over his head, his accusation written, `This is Jesus, the king of the Jews.`

³⁸حينئذ صلب معه لصان واحد عن اليمين وواحد عن اليسار

³⁸Then crucified with him are two robbers, one on the right hand, and one on the left,

³⁹وكان المجتازون يجدفون عليه وهم يهزون رؤوسهم

³⁹and those passing by were speaking evil of him, wagging their heads,

⁴⁰قائلين يا ناقض الهيكل وبانيه في ثلاثة ايام خلّص نفسك. ان كنت ابن الله فانزل عن الصليب.

⁴⁰and saying, `Thou that art throwing down the sanctuary, and in three days building [it], save thyself; if Son thou art of God, come down from the cross.`

⁴¹وكذلك رؤساء الكهنة ايضا وهم يستهزئون مع الكتبة والشيوخ قالوا

⁴¹And in like manner also the chief priests mocking, with the scribes and elders, said,

⁴²خلّص آخرين واما نفسه فما يقدر ان يخلّصها. ان كان هو ملك اسرائيل فلينزل الآن عن الصليب فنؤمن به.

⁴²`Others he saved; himself he is not able to save! If he be King of Israel, let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe him;

⁴³قد اتكل على الله فلينقذه الآن ان اراده. لانه قال انا ابن الله.

⁴³he hath trusted on God, let Him now deliver him, if He wish him, because he said — Son of God I am;`

⁴⁴وبذلك ايضا كان اللصّان اللذان صلبا معه يعيّرانه

⁴⁴with the same also the robbers, who were crucified with him, were reproaching him.

⁴⁵ومن الساعة السادسة كانت ظلمة على كل الارض الى الساعة التاسعة.

⁴⁵And from the sixth hour darkness came over all the land unto the ninth hour,

⁴⁶ونحو الساعة التاسعة صرخ يسوع بصوت عظيم قائلا ايلي ايلي لما شبقتني اي الهي الهي لماذا تركتني.

⁴⁶and about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a great voice, saying, `Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?` that is, `My God, my God, why didst Thou forsake me?`

⁴⁷فقوم من الواقفين هناك لما سمعوا قالوا انه ينادي ايليا.

⁴⁷And certain of those standing there having heard, said — `Elijah he doth call;`

⁴⁸وللوقت ركض واحد منهم واخذ اسفنجة وملأها خلا وجعلها على قصبة وسقاه.

⁴⁸and immediately, one of them having run, and having taken a spunge, having filled [it] with vinegar, and having put [it] on a reed, was giving him to drink,

⁴⁹واما الباقون فقالوا اترك. لنرى هل يأتي ايليا يخلّصه.

⁴⁹but the rest said, `Let alone, let us see if Elijah doth come — about to save him.`

⁵⁰فصرخ يسوع ايضا بصوت عظيم واسلم الروح

⁵⁰And Jesus having again cried with a great voice, yielded the spirit;

⁵¹واذا حجاب الهيكل قد انشق الى اثنين من فوق الى اسفل. والارض تزلزلت والصخور تشققت.

⁵¹and lo, the vail of the sanctuary was rent in two from top unto bottom, and the earth did quake, and the rocks were rent,

⁵²والقبور تفتحت وقام كثير من اجساد القديسين الراقدين.

⁵²and the tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who have fallen asleep, arose,

⁵³وخرجوا من القبور بعد قيامته ودخلوا المدينة المقدسة وظهروا لكثيرين.

⁵³and having come forth out of the tombs after his rising, they went into the holy city, and appeared to many.

⁵⁴واما قائد المئة والذين معه يحرسون يسوع فلما رأوا الزلزلة وما كان خافوا جدا وقالوا حقا كان هذا ابن الله.

⁵⁴And the centurion, and those with him watching Jesus, having seen the earthquake, and the things that were done, were exceedingly afraid, saying, `Truly this was God`s Son.`

⁵⁵وكانت هناك نساء كثيرات ينظرن من بعيد وهنّ كنّ قد تبعن يسوع من الجليل يخدمنه.

⁵⁵And there were there many women beholding from afar, who did follow Jesus from Galilee, ministering to him,

⁵⁶وبينهنّ مريم المجدلية ومريم ام يعقوب ويوسي وام ابني زبدي

⁵⁶among whom was Mary the Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and of Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

⁵⁷ولما كان المساء جاء رجل غني من الرامة اسمه يوسف. وكان هو ايضا تلميذا ليسوع.

⁵⁷And evening having come, there came a rich man, from Arimathea, named Joseph, who also himself was discipled to Jesus,

⁵⁸فهذا تقدم الى بيلاطس وطلب جسد يسوع. فامر بيلاطس حينئذ ان يعطى الجسد.

⁵⁸he having gone near to Pilate, asked for himself the body of Jesus; then Pilate commanded the body to be given back.

⁵⁹فاخذ يوسف الجسد ولفه بكتان نقي.

⁵⁹And having taken the body, Joseph wrapped it in clean linen,

⁶⁰ووضعه في قبره الجديد الذي كان قد نحته في الصخرة ثم دحرج حجرا كبيرا على باب القبر ومضى.

⁶⁰and laid it in his new tomb, that he hewed in the rock, and having rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, he went away;

⁶¹وكانت هناك مريم المجدلية ومريم الاخرى جالستين تجاه القبر

⁶¹and there were there Mary the Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over-against the sepulchre.

⁶²وفي الغد الذي بعد الاستعداد اجتمع رؤساء الكهنة والفريسيون الى بيلاطس

⁶²And on the morrow that is after the preparation, were gathered together the chief priests, and the Pharisees, unto Pilate,

⁶³قائلين. يا سيد قد تذكرنا ان ذلك المضل قال وهو حيّ اني بعد ثلاثة ايام اقوم.

⁶³saying, `Sir, we have remembered that that deceiver said while yet living, After three days I do rise;

⁶⁴فمر بضبط القبر الى اليوم الثالث لئلا يأتي تلاميذه ليلا ويسرقوه ويقولوا للشعب انه قام من الاموات. فتكون الضلالة الاخيرة اشر من الاولى.

⁶⁴command, then, the sepulchre to be made secure till the third day, lest his disciples, having come by night, may steal him away, and may say to the people, He rose from the dead, and the last deceit shall be worse than the first.`

⁶⁵فقال لهم بيلاطس عندكم حراس. اذهبوا واضبطوه كما تعلمون.

⁶⁵And Pilate said to them, `Ye have a watch, go away, make secure — as ye have known;`

⁶⁶فمضوا وضبطوا القبر بالحراس وختموا الحجر

⁶⁶and they, having gone, did make the sepulchre secure, having sealed the stone, together with the watch.
