¹وكان الفصح وايام الفطير بعد يومين. وكان رؤساء الكهنة والكتبة يطلبون كيف يمسكونه بمكر ويقتلونه.

¹It was now two days before the feast of the Passover and the unleavened bread, and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might seize him by deception, and kill him.

²ولكنهم قالوا ليس في العيد لئلا يكون شغب في الشعب

²For they said, “Not during the feast, because there might be a riot of the people.”

³وفيما هو في بيت عنيا في بيت سمعان الابرص وهو متكئ جاءت امرأة معها قارورة طيب ناردين خالص كثير الثمن. فكسرت القارورة وسكبته على راسه.

³While he was at Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at the table, a woman came having an alabaster jar of ointment of pure nard—very costly. She broke the jar, and poured it over his head.

⁴وكان قوم مغتاظين في انفسهم فقالوا لماذا كان تلف الطيب هذا.

⁴But there were some who were indignant among themselves, saying, “Why has this ointment been wasted?

⁵لانه كان يمكن ان يباع هذا باكثر من ثلاث مئة دينار ويعطى للفقراء. وكانوا يؤنبونها.

⁵For this might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii, 300 denarii was about a years wages for an agricultural laborer. and given to the poor.” They grumbled against her.

⁶اما يسوع فقال اتركوها. لماذا تزعجونها. قد عملت بي عملا حسنا.

⁶But Jesus said, “Leave her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a good work for me.

⁷لان الفقراء معكم في كل حين ومتى اردتم تقدرون ان تعملوا بهم خيرا. واما انا فلست معكم في كل حين.

⁷ For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you want to, you can do them good; but you will not always have me.

⁸عملت ما عندها. قد سبقت ودهنت بالطيب جسدي للتكفين.

⁸ She has done what she could. She has anointed my body beforehand for the burying.

⁹الحق اقول لكم حيثما يكرز بهذا الانجيل في كل العالم يخبر ايضا بما فعلته هذه تذكارا لها

⁹ Most certainly I tell you, wherever this Good News may be preached throughout the whole world, that which this woman has done will also be spoken of for a memorial of her.”

¹⁰ثم ان يهوذا الاسخريوطي واحدا من الاثني عشر مضى الى رؤساء الكهنة ليسلمه اليهم.

¹⁰Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve, went away to the chief priests, that he might deliver him to them.

¹¹ولما سمعوا فرحوا ووعدوه ان يعطوه فضة. وكان يطلب كيف يسلمه في فرصة موافقة ‎

¹¹They, when they heard it, were glad, and promised to give him money. He sought how he might conveniently deliver him.

¹²وفي اليوم الاول من الفطير حين كانوا يذبحون الفصح قال له تلاميذه اين تريد ان نمضي ونعد لتأكل الفصح.

¹²On the first day of unleavened bread, when they sacrificed the Passover, his disciples asked him, “Where do you want us to go and prepare that you may eat the Passover?”

¹³فارسل اثنين من تلاميذه وقال لهما اذهبا الى المدينة فيلاقيكما انسان حامل جرة ماء. اتبعاه.

¹³He sent two of his disciples, and said to them, “Go into the city, and there you will meet a man carrying a pitcher of water. Follow him,

¹⁴وحيثما يدخل فقولا لرب البيت ان المعلّم يقول اين المنزل حيث آكل الفصح مع تلاميذي.

¹⁴ and wherever he enters in, tell the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says, “Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?”’

¹⁵فهو يريكما علّية كبيرة مفروشة معدة. هناك اعدا لنا.

¹⁵ He will himself show you a large upper room furnished and ready. Get ready for us there.”

¹⁶فخرج تلميذاه وأتيا الى المدينة ووجدا كما قال لهما. فأعدا الفصح

¹⁶His disciples went out, and came into the city, and found things as he had said to them, and they prepared the Passover.

¹⁷ولما كان المساء جاء مع الاثني عشر.

¹⁷When it was evening he came with the twelve.

¹⁸وفيما هم متكئون يأكلون قال يسوع الحق اقول لكم ان واحدا منكم يسلمني. الآكل معي.

¹⁸As they sat and were eating, Jesus said, “Most certainly I tell you, one of you will betray me—he who eats with me.”

¹⁹فابتدأوا يحزنون ويقولون له واحدا فواحدا هل انا. وآخر هل انا.

¹⁹They began to be sorrowful, and to ask him one by one, “Surely not I?” And another said, “Surely not I?”

²⁰فاجاب وقال لهم. هو واحد من الاثني عشر الذي يغمس معي في الصحفة.

²⁰He answered them, “It is one of the twelve, he who dips with me in the dish.

²¹ان ابن الانسان ماض كما هو مكتوب عنه. ولكن ويل لذلك الرجل الذي به يسلم ابن الانسان. كان خيرا لذلك الرجل لو لم يولد

²¹ For the Son of Man goes, even as it is written about him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for that man if he had not been born.”

²²وفيما هم يأكلون اخذ يسوع خبزا وبارك وكسر واعطاهم وقال خذوا كلوا هذا هو جسدي.

²²As they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had blessed, he broke it, and gave to them, and said, “Take, eat. This is my body.”

²³ثم اخذ الكاس وشكر واعطاهم فشربوا منها كلهم.

²³He took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave to them. They all drank of it.

²⁴وقال لهم هذا هو دمي الذي للعهد الجديد الذي يسفك من اجل كثيرين.

²⁴He said to them, “This is my blood of the new covenant, which is poured out for many.

²⁵الحق اقول لكم اني لا اشرب بعد من نتاج الكرمة الى ذلك اليوم حينما اشربه جديدا في ملكوت الله.

²⁵ Most certainly I tell you, I will no more drink of the fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it anew in the Kingdom of God.”

²⁶ثم سبّحوا وخرجوا الى جبل الزيتون

²⁶When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

²⁷وقال لهم يسوع ان كلكم تشكون فيّ في هذه الليلة. لانه مكتوب اني اضرب الراعي فتتبدد الخراف.

²⁷Jesus said to them, “All of you will be made to stumble because of me tonight, for it is written, ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.’ Zechariah 13:7

²⁸ولكن بعد قيامي اسبقكم الى الجليل.

²⁸ However, after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee.”

²⁹فقال له بطرس وان شك الجميع فانا لا اشك.

²⁹But Peter said to him, “Although all will be offended, yet I will not.”

³⁰فقال له يسوع الحق اقول لك انك اليوم في هذه الليلة قبل ان يصيح الديك مرتين تنكرني ثلاث مرات.

³⁰Jesus said to him, “Most certainly I tell you, that you today, even this night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.”

³¹فقال باكثر تشديد ولو اضطررت ان اموت معك لا انكرك. وهكذا قال ايضا الجميع

³¹But he spoke all the more, “If I must die with you, I will not deny you.” They all said the same thing.

³²وجاءوا الى ضيعة اسمها جثسيماني فقال لتلاميذه اجلسوا ههنا حتى اصلّي.

³²They came to a place which was named Gethsemane. He said to his disciples, “Sit here, while I pray.”

³³ثم اخذ معه بطرس ويعقوب ويوحنا وابتدأ يدهش ويكتئب.

³³He took with him Peter, James, and John, and began to be greatly troubled and distressed.

³⁴فقال لهم نفسي حزينة جدا حتى الموت. امكثوا هنا واسهروا.

³⁴He said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here, and watch.”

³⁵ثم تقدم قليلا وخرّ على الارض وكان يصلّي لكي تعبر عنه الساعة ان امكن.

³⁵He went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass away from him.

³⁶وقال يا ابا الآب كل شيء مستطاع لك. فاجز عني هذه الكاس. ولكن ليكن لا ما اريد انا بل ما تريد انت.

³⁶He said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible to you. Please remove this cup from me. However, not what I desire, but what you desire.”

³⁷ثم جاء ووجدهم نياما فقال لبطرس يا سمعان انت نائم. أما قدرت ان تسهر ساعة واحدة.

³⁷He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “Simon, are you sleeping? Couldn’t you watch one hour?

³⁸اسهروا وصلّوا لئلا تدخلوا في تجربة. اما الروح فنشيط واما الجسد فضعيف.

³⁸ Watch and pray, that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

³⁹ومضى ايضا وصلّى قائلا ذلك الكلام بعينه.

³⁹Again he went away, and prayed, saying the same words.

⁴⁰ثم رجع ووجدهم ايضا نياما اذ كانت اعينهم ثقيلة فلم يعلموا بماذا يجيبونه.

⁴⁰Again he returned, and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy, and they didn’t know what to answer him.

⁴¹ثم جاء ثالثة وقال لهم ناموا الآن واستريحوا. يكفي. قد أتت الساعة. هوذا ابن الانسان يسلم الى ايدي الخطاة.

⁴¹He came the third time, and said to them, “Sleep on now, and take your rest. It is enough. The hour has come. Behold, the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

⁴²قوموا لنذهب. هوذا الذي يسلمني قد اقترب

⁴² Arise, let us be going. Behold, he who betrays me is at hand.”

⁴³وللوقت فيما هو يتكلم اقبل يهوذا واحد من الاثني عشر ومعه جمع كثير بسيوف وعصي من عند رؤساء الكهنة والكتبة والشيوخ.

⁴³Immediately, while he was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, came—and with him a multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders.

⁴⁴وكان مسلمه قد اعطاهم علامة قائلا الذي اقبّله هو هو. امسكوه وامضوا به بحرص.

⁴⁴Now he who betrayed him had given them a sign, saying, “Whomever I will kiss, that is he. Seize him, and lead him away safely.”

⁴⁵فجاء للوقت وتقدم اليه قائلا يا سيدي يا سيدي. وقبله.

⁴⁵When he had come, immediately he came to him, and said, “Rabbi! Rabbi!” and kissed him.

⁴⁶فألقوا ايديهم عليه وامسكوه.

⁴⁶They laid their hands on him, and seized him.

⁴⁷فاستل واحد من الحاضرين السيف وضرب عبد رئيس الكهنة فقطع اذنه

⁴⁷But a certain one of those who stood by drew his sword, and struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.

⁴⁸فاجاب يسوع وقال لهم كانه على لص خرجتم بسيوف وعصي لتأخذوني.

⁴⁸Jesus answered them, “Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to seize me?

⁴⁹كل يوم كنت معكم في الهيكل اعلّم ولم تمسكوني. ولكن لكي تكمل الكتب.

⁴⁹ I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and you didn’t arrest me. But this is so that the Scriptures might be fulfilled.”

⁵⁰فتركه الجميع وهربوا.

⁵⁰They all left him, and fled.

⁵¹وتبعه شاب لابسا ازارا على عريه فامسكه الشبان.

⁵¹A certain young man followed him, having a linen cloth thrown around himself, over his naked body. The young men grabbed him,

⁵²فترك الازار وهرب منهم عريانا

⁵²but he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.

⁵³فمضوا بيسوع الى رئيس الكهنة فاجتمع معه جميع رؤساء الكهنة والشيوخ والكتبة.

⁵³They led Jesus away to the high priest. All the chief priests, the elders, and the scribes came together with him.

⁵⁴وكان بطرس قد تبعه من بعيد الى داخل دار رئيس الكهنة وكان جالسا بين الخدام يستدفئ عند النار.

⁵⁴Peter had followed him from a distance, until he came into the court of the high priest. He was sitting with the officers, and warming himself in the light of the fire.

⁵⁵وكان رؤساء الكهنة والمجمع كله يطلبون شهادة على يسوع ليقتلوه فلم يجدوا.

⁵⁵Now the chief priests and the whole council sought witnesses against Jesus to put him to death, and found none.

⁵⁶لان كثيرين شهدوا عليه زورا ولم تتفق شهاداتهم.

⁵⁶For many gave false testimony against him, and their testimony didn’t agree with each other.

⁵⁷ثم قام قوم وشهدوا عليه زورا قائلين.

⁵⁷Some stood up, and gave false testimony against him, saying,

⁵⁸نحن سمعناه يقول اني انقض هذا الهيكل المصنوع بالايادي وفي ثلاثة ايام ابني آخر غير مصنوع باياد.

⁵⁸“We heard him say, ‘I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another made without hands.’”

⁵⁹ولا بهذا كانت شهادتهم تتفق.

⁵⁹Even so, their testimony did not agree.

⁶⁰فقام رئيس الكهنة في الوسط وسأل يسوع قائلا أما تجيب بشيء. ماذا يشهد به هؤلاء عليك.

⁶⁰The high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, “Have you no answer? What is it which these testify against you?”

⁶¹اما هو فكان ساكتا ولم يجب بشيء. فسأله رئيس الكهنة ايضا وقال له أانت المسيح ابن المبارك.

⁶¹But he stayed quiet, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, “Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?”

⁶²فقال يسوع انا هو. وسوف تبصرون ابن الانسان جالسا عن يمين القوة وآتيا في سحاب السماء.

⁶²Jesus said, “I am. You will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of the sky.”

⁶³فمزّق رئيس الكهنة ثيابه وقال ما حاجتنا بعد الى شهود.

⁶³The high priest tore his clothes, and said, “What further need have we of witnesses?

⁶⁴قد سمعتم التجاديف. ما رايكم. فالجميع حكموا عليه انه مستوجب الموت.

⁶⁴You have heard the blasphemy! What do you think?” They all condemned him to be worthy of death.

⁶⁵فابتدأ قوم يبصقون عليه ويغطون وجهه ويلكمونه ويقولون له تنبأ. وكان الخدام يلطمونه

⁶⁵Some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to beat him with fists, and to tell him, “Prophesy!” The officers struck him with the palms of their hands.

⁶⁶وبينما كان بطرس في الدار اسفل جاءت احدى جواري رئيس الكهنة.

⁶⁶As Peter was in the courtyard below, one of the maids of the high priest came,

⁶⁷فلما رأت بطرس يستدفئ نظرت اليه وقالت وانت كنت مع يسوع الناصري.

⁶⁷and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him, and said, “You were also with the Nazarene, Jesus!”

⁶⁸فانكر قائلا لست ادري ولا افهم ما تقولين. وخرج خارجا الى الدهليز. فصاح الديك.

⁶⁸But he denied it, saying, “I neither know, nor understand what you are saying.” He went out on the porch, and the rooster crowed.

⁶⁹فرأته الجارية ايضا وابتدأت تقول للحاضرين ان هذا منهم.

⁶⁹The maid saw him, and began again to tell those who stood by, “This is one of them.”

⁷⁰فانكر ايضا. وبعد قليل ايضا قال الحاضرون لبطرس حقا انت منهم لانك جليلي ايضا ولغتك تشبه لغتهم.

⁷⁰But he again denied it. After a little while again those who stood by said to Peter, “You truly are one of them, for you are a Galilean, and your speech shows it.”

⁷¹فابتدأ يلعن ويحلف اني لا اعرف هذا الرجل الذي تقولون عنه.

⁷¹But he began to curse, and to swear, “I don’t know this man of whom you speak!”

⁷²وصاح الديك ثانية فتذكر بطرس القول الذي قاله له يسوع انك قبل ان يصيح الديك مرتين تنكرني ثلاث مرات. فلما تفكر به بكى

⁷²The rooster crowed the second time. Peter remembered the word, how that Jesus said to him, “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.” When he thought about that, he wept.
