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

¹And when it was morning all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus so that they might put him to death.

²فاوثقوه ومضوا به ودفعوه الى بيلاطس البنطي الوالي

²And having bound him they led him 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, who delivered him up, seeing that he had been condemned, filled with remorse, returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders,

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

⁴saying, I have sinned [in] having delivered up guiltless blood. But they said, What is that to us? see *thou* [to that].

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

⁵And having cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, he left the place, and went away and hanged himself.

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

⁶And the chief priests took the pieces of silver and said, It is not lawful to cast them into the Corban, since 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 a burying-ground for strangers.

⁸لهذا سمي ذلك الحقل حقل الدم الى هذا اليوم.

⁸Wherefore that field has been called Blood-field 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 which was spoken through Jeremias the prophet, saying, And I took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was set a price on, whom [they who were] of the sons of Israel had set a price on,

¹⁰واعطوها عن حقل الفخاري كما امرني الرب

¹⁰and they gave them for the field of the potter, according as [the] Lord commanded me.

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

¹¹But Jesus stood before the governor. And the governor questioned 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 when he was accused of the chief priests and the elders, he answered nothing.

¹³فقال له بيلاطس أما تسمع كم يشهدون عليك.

¹³Then says Pilate to him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee?

¹⁴فلم يجبه ولا عن كلمة واحدة حتى تعجب الوالي جدا

¹⁴And he answered him not so much as one word, so that the governor wondered exceedingly.

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

¹⁵Now at [the] feast the governor was accustomed to release one prisoner to the crowd, whom they would.

¹⁶وكان لهم حينئذ اسير مشهور يسمى باراباس.

¹⁶And they had then a notable prisoner, named Barabbas.

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

¹⁷They therefore being gathered together, Pilate said to them, Whom will ye that I release to you, Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?

¹⁸لانه علم انهم اسلموه حسدا.

¹⁸For he knew that they had delivered him up through envy.

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

¹⁹But, as he was sitting on the judgment-seat, his wife sent to him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that righteous [man]; for I have suffered to-day many things in a dream because of him.

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

²⁰But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds that they should beg for Barabbas, and 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 release unto you? And they said, Barabbas.

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

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

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

²³And the governor said, What evil then has he done? But they cried more than ever, saying, Let him 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, seeing that it availed nothing, but that rather a tumult was arising, having taken water, washed his hands before the crowd, saying, I am guiltless of the blood of this righteous one: see *ye* [to it].

²⁵فاجاب جميع الشعب وقالوا دمه علينا وعلى اولادنا.

²⁵And all the people answering said, His blood [be] on us and on our children.

²⁶حينئذ اطلق لهم باراباس. واما يسوع فجلده واسلمه ليصلب

²⁶Then he released to them Barabbas; but Jesus, having scourged [him], he delivered up that he might be crucified.

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

²⁷Then the soldiers of the governor, having taken Jesus with [them] to the praetorium, gathered against him the whole band,

²⁸فعروه والبسوه رداء قرمزيا.

²⁸and having taken off his garment, put on him a scarlet cloak;

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

²⁹and having woven a crown out of thorns, they put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and, bowing the knee before him, they mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!

³⁰وبصقوا عليه واخذوا القصبة وضربوه على راسه.

³⁰And having spit upon him, they took the reed and beat [him] on his head.

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

³¹And when they had mocked him, they took the cloak off him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him away to crucify.

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

³²And as they went forth they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name; him they compelled to go [with them] 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, which means Place of a skull,

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

³⁴they gave to him to drink vinegar mingled with gall; and having tasted [it], 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 parted his clothes amongst [themselves], casting lots.

³⁶ثم جلسوا يحرسونه هناك.

³⁶And sitting down, they kept guard over him there.

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

³⁷And they set 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 are crucified with him two robbers, one on the right hand and one on the left.

³⁹وكان المجتازون يجدفون عليه وهم يهزون رؤوسهم

³⁹But the passers-by reviled him, shaking their heads

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

⁴⁰and saying, Thou that destroyest the temple and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou art Son of God, descend from the cross.

⁴¹وكذلك رؤساء الكهنة ايضا وهم يستهزئون مع الكتبة والشيوخ قالوا

⁴¹[And] in like manner the chief priests also, 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.

⁴²He saved others, himself he cannot save. He is King of Israel: let him descend now from the cross, and we will believe on him.

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

⁴³He trusted upon God; let him save him now if he will [have] him. For he said, I am Son of God.

⁴⁴وبذلك ايضا كان اللصّان اللذان صلبا معه يعيّرانه

⁴⁴And the robbers also who had been crucified with him cast the same reproaches on him.

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

⁴⁵Now from [the] sixth hour there was darkness over the whole land until [the] ninth hour;

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

⁴⁶but about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

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

⁴⁷And some of those who stood there, when they heard [it], said, This [man] calls for Elias.

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

⁴⁸And immediately one of them running and getting a sponge, having filled [it] with vinegar and fixed [it] on a reed, gave him to drink.

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

⁴⁹But the rest said, Let be; let us see if Elias comes to save him.

⁵⁰فصرخ يسوع ايضا بصوت عظيم واسلم الروح

⁵⁰And Jesus, having again cried with a loud voice, gave up the ghost.

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

⁵¹And lo, the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom, and the earth was shaken, and the rocks were rent,

⁵²والقبور تفتحت وقام كثير من اجساد القديسين الراقدين.

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

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

⁵³and going out of the tombs after his arising, entered into the holy city and appeared unto many.

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

⁵⁴But the centurion, and they who were with him on guard over Jesus, seeing the earthquake and the things that took place, feared greatly, saying, Truly this [man] was Son of God.

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

⁵⁵And there were there many women beholding from afar off, who had followed Jesus from Galilee ministering to him,

⁵⁶وبينهنّ مريم المجدلية ومريم ام يعقوب ويوسي وام ابني زبدي

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

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

⁵⁷Now when even was come there came a rich man of Arimathaea, his name Joseph, who also himself was a disciple to Jesus.

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

⁵⁸*He*, going to Pilate, begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given up.

⁵⁹فاخذ يوسف الجسد ولفه بكتان نقي.

⁵⁹And Joseph having got the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

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 which he had hewn in the rock; and having rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, went away.

⁶¹وكانت هناك مريم المجدلية ومريم الاخرى جالستين تجاه القبر

⁶¹But Mary of Magdala was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the sepulchre.

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

⁶²Now on the morrow, which is after the preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees came together to Pilate,

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

⁶³saying, Sir, we have called to mind that that deceiver said when he was still alive, After three days I arise.

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

⁶⁴Command therefore that the sepulchre be secured until the third day, lest his disciples should come and steal him away, and say to the people, He is risen from the dead; and the last error 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, secure it as well as ye know how.

⁶⁶فمضوا وضبطوا القبر بالحراس وختموا الحجر

⁶⁶And they went and secured the sepulchre, having sealed the stone, with the watch [besides].
