¹فقام كل جمهورهم وجاءوا به الى بيلاطس.

¹And the whole multitude of them, rising up, led him to Pilate.

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

²And they began to accuse him, saying, We have found this [man] perverting our nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ, a king.

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

³And Pilate demanded of him saying, Art *thou* the king of the Jews? And he answering him said, Thou sayest.

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

⁴And Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, I find no guilt in this man.

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

⁵But they insisted, saying, He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judaea, beginning from Galilee even on to here.

⁶فلما سمع بيلاطس ذكر الجليل سأل هل الرجل جليلي.

⁶But Pilate, having heard Galilee [named], demanded if the man were a Galilaean;

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

⁷and having learned that he was of Herod's jurisdiction, remitted him to Herod, who himself also was at 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 when Herod saw Jesus he greatly rejoiced, for he had been a long while desirous of seeing him, because of hearing many things concerning him, and he hoped to see some sign done by him;

⁹وسأله بكلام كثير فلم يجبه بشيء.

⁹and he questioned him in many words, but *he* answered him nothing.

¹⁰ووقف رؤساء الكهنة والكتبة يشتكون عليه باشتداد.

¹⁰And the chief priests and the scribes stood and accused him violently.

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

¹¹And Herod with his troops having set him at nought and mocked him, having put a splendid robe upon him, sent him back to Pilate.

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

¹²And Pilate and Herod became friends with one another the same day, for they had been at enmity before 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 to them, Ye have brought to me this man as turning away the people [to rebellion], and behold, I, having examined him before you, have found nothing criminal in this man as to the things of which ye accuse him;

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

¹⁵nor Herod either, for I remitted you to him, and behold, nothing worthy of death is done by him.

¹⁶فانا أؤدبه واطلقه.

¹⁶Having chastised him therefore, I will release him.

¹⁷وكان مضطرا ان يطلق لهم كل عيد واحدا.

¹⁷( Now he was obliged to release one for them at the feast.)

¹⁸فصرخوا بجملتهم قائلين خذ هذا واطلق لنا باراباس.

¹⁸But they cried out in a mass saying, Away with this [man] and release Barabbas to us;

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

¹⁹who was one who, for a certain tumult which had taken place in the city, and [for] murder, had been cast into prison.

²⁰فناداهم ايضا بيلاطس وهو يريد ان يطلق يسوع.

²⁰Pilate therefore, desirous to release Jesus, again addressed [them].

²¹فصرخوا قائلين اصلبه اصلبه.

²¹But they cried out in reply saying, Crucify, crucify him.

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

²²And he said the third time to them, What evil then has this [man] done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will chastise him therefore and release him.

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

²³But they were urgent with loud voices, begging that he might be crucified. And their voices [and those of the chief priests] prevailed.

²⁴فحكم بيلاطس ان تكون طلبتهم.

²⁴And Pilate adjudged that what they begged should take place.

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

²⁵And he released him who, for tumult and murder, had been cast into prison, whom they begged for, and Jesus he delivered 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, they laid hold on a certain Simon, a Cyrenian, coming from the field, and put the cross upon him to bear it behind Jesus.

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

²⁷And a great multitude of the people, and of women who wailed and lamented him, followed him.

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

²⁸And Jesus turning round to them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep over me, but weep over yourselves and over your children;

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

²⁹for behold, days are coming in which they will say, Blessed [are] the barren, and wombs that have not borne, and breasts that have not given suck.

³⁰حينئذ يبتدئون يقولون للجبال اسقطي علينا وللآكام غطينا.

³⁰Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall upon us; and to the hills, Cover us:

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

³¹for if these things are done in the green tree, what shall take place in the dry?

³²وجاءوا ايضا باثنين آخرين مذنبين ليقتلا معه

³²Now two others also, malefactors, were led 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 which is called Skull, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, the other 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 know not what they do. And, parting out his garments, they cast lots.

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

³⁵And the people stood beholding, and the rulers also [with them] sneered, saying, He has saved others; let him save himself if this is the Christ, the chosen one of God.

³⁶والجند ايضا استهزأوا به وهم يأتون ويقدمون له خلا

³⁶And the soldiers also made game of him, coming up offering him vinegar,

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 an inscription [written] over him in Greek, and Roman, and Hebrew letters: This is the King of the Jews.

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

³⁹Now one of the malefactors who had been hanged spoke insultingly to him, saying, Art not thou the Christ? save thyself and us.

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

⁴⁰But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost *thou* too not fear God, thou that art under the same judgment?

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

⁴¹and *we* indeed justly, for we receive the just recompense of what we have done; but this [man] has done nothing amiss.

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

⁴²And he said to Jesus, Remember me, [Lord,] when thou comest in thy kingdom.

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

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

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

⁴⁴And it was about [the] sixth hour, and there came darkness over the whole land until [the] ninth hour.

⁴⁵واظلمت الشمس وانشقّ حجاب الهيكل من وسطه.

⁴⁵And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple rent in the midst.

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

⁴⁶And Jesus, having cried with a loud voice, said, Father, into thy hands I commit my spirit. And having said this, he expired.

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

⁴⁷Now the centurion, seeing what took place, glorified God, saying, In very deed this man was just.

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

⁴⁸And all the crowds who had come together to that sight, having seen the things that took place, returned, beating [their] breasts.

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

⁴⁹And all those who knew him stood afar off, the women also who had followed him from Galilee, beholding these things.

⁵⁰واذا رجل اسمه يوسف وكان مشيرا ورجلا صالحا بارا.

⁵⁰And behold, a man named Joseph, who was a councillor, a good man and a just

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

⁵¹(this [man] had not assented to their counsel and deed), of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews, who also waited, [himself also,] for the kingdom of God

⁵²هذا تقدم الى بيلاطس وطلب جسد يسوع.

⁵²-- he having gone to Pilate begged the body of Jesus;

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

⁵³and having taken it down, wrapped it in fine linen and placed him in a tomb hewn in the rock, where no one had ever been laid.

⁵⁴وكان يوم الاستعداد والسبت يلوح.

⁵⁴And it was preparation day, and [the] sabbath twilight was coming on.

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

⁵⁵And women, who had come along with him out of Galilee, having followed, saw the sepulchre and how his body was placed.

⁵⁶فرجعن وأعددن حنوطا واطيابا. وفي السبت استرحن حسب الوصية

⁵⁶And having returned they prepared aromatic spices and ointments, and remained quiet on the sabbath, according to the commandment.
