¹Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus from Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister, Martha.

¹وكان انسان مريضا وهو لعارز من بيت عنيا من قرية مريم ومرثا اختها.

²It was that Mary who had anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother, Lazarus, was sick.

²وكانت مريم التي كان لعازر اخوها مريضا هي التي دهنت الرب بطيب ومسحت رجليه بشعرها.

³The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, “Lord, behold, he for whom you have great affection is sick.”

³فارسلت الاختان اليه قائلتين يا سيد هوذا الذي تحبه مريض

⁴But when Jesus heard it, he said, “This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that God’s Son may be glorified by it.”

⁴فلما سمع يسوع قال هذا المرض ليس للموت بل لاجل مجد الله ليتمجد ابن الله به.

⁵Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.

⁵وكان يسوع يحب مرثا واختها ولعازر.

⁶When therefore he heard that he was sick, he stayed two days in the place where he was.

⁶فلما سمع انه مريض مكث حينئذ في الموضع الذي كان فيه يومين.

⁷Then after this he said to the disciples, “Let’s go into Judea again.”

⁷ثم بعد ذلك قال لتلاميذه لنذهب الى اليهودية ايضا.

⁸The disciples told him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just trying to stone you, and are you going there again?”

⁸قال له التلاميذ يا معلّم الآن كان اليهود يطلبون ان يرجموك وتذهب ايضا الى هناك.

⁹Jesus answered, “Aren’t there twelve hours of daylight? If a man walks in the day, he doesn’t stumble, because he sees the light of this world.

⁹اجاب يسوع أليست ساعات النهار اثنتي عشرة. ان كان احد يمشي في النهار لا يعثر لانه ينظر نور هذا العالم.

¹⁰ But if a man walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light isn’t in him.”

¹⁰ولكن ان كان احد يمشي في الليل يعثر لان النور ليس فيه.

¹¹He said these things, and after that, he said to them, “Our friend, Lazarus, has fallen asleep, but I am going so that I may awake him out of sleep.”

¹¹قال هذا وبعد ذلك قال لهم. لعازر حبيبنا قد نام. لكني اذهب لأوقظه.

¹²The disciples therefore said, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.”

¹²فقال تلاميذه يا سيد ان كان قد نام فهو يشفى.

¹³Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he spoke of taking rest in sleep.

¹³وكان يسوع يقول عن موته. وهم ظنوا انه يقول عن رقاد النوم.

¹⁴So Jesus said to them plainly then, “Lazarus is dead.

¹⁴فقال لهم يسوع حينئذ علانية لعازر مات.

¹⁵ I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe. Nevertheless, let’s go to him.”

¹⁵وانا افرح لاجلكم اني لم اكن هناك لتؤمنوا. ولكن لنذهب اليه.

¹⁶Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, “Didymus” means “Twin” said to his fellow disciples, “Let’s go also, that we may die with him.”

¹⁶فقال توما الذي يقال له التوأم للتلاميذ رفقائه لنذهب نحن ايضا لكي نموت معه

¹⁷So when Jesus came, he found that he had been in the tomb four days already.

¹⁷فلما أتى يسوع وجد انه قد صار له اربعة ايام في القبر.

¹⁸Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia 15 stadia is about 2.8 kilometers or 1.7 miles away.

¹⁸وكانت بيت عنيا قريبة من اورشليم نحو خمس عشرة غلوة.

¹⁹Many of the Jews had joined the women around Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother.

¹⁹وكان كثيرون من اليهود قد جاءوا الى مرثا ومريم ليعزوهما عن اخيهما.

²⁰Then when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, but Mary stayed in the house.

²⁰فلما سمعت مرثا ان يسوع آت لاقته. واما مريم فاستمرت جالسة في البيت.

²¹Therefore Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you would have been here, my brother wouldn’t have died.

²¹فقالت مرثا ليسوع يا سيد لو كنت ههنا لم يمت اخي.

²²Even now I know that, whatever you ask of God, God will give you.”

²²لكني الآن ايضا اعلم ان كل ما تطلب من الله يعطيك الله اياه.

²³Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”

²³قال لها يسوع سيقوم اخوك.

²⁴Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”

²⁴قالت له مرثا انا اعلم انه سيقوم في القيامة في اليوم الاخير.

²⁵Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will still live, even if he dies.

²⁵قال لها يسوع انا هو القيامة والحياة. من آمن بي ولو مات فسيحيا.

²⁶ Whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?”

²⁶وكل من كان حيّا وآمن بي فلن يموت الى الابد. أتؤمنين بهذا.

²⁷She said to him, “Yes, Lord. I have come to believe that you are the Christ, God’s Son, he who comes into the world.”

²⁷قالت له نعم يا سيد. انا قد آمنت انك انت المسيح ابن الله الآتي الى العالم

²⁸When she had said this, she went away, and called Mary, her sister, secretly, saying, “The Teacher is here, and is calling you.”

²⁸ولما قالت هذا مضت ودعت مريم اختها سرّا قائلة المعلّم قد حضر وهو يدعوك.

²⁹When she heard this, she arose quickly, and went to him.

²⁹اما تلك فلما سمعت قامت سريعا وجاءت اليه.

³⁰Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was in the place where Martha met him.

³⁰ولم يكن يسوع قد جاء الى القرية بل كان في المكان الذي لاقته فيه مرثا.

³¹Then the Jews who were with her in the house, and were consoling her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up quickly and went out, followed her, saying, “She is going to the tomb to weep there.”

³¹ثم ان اليهود الذين كانوا معها في البيت يعزونها لما رأوا مريم قامت عاجلا وخرجت تبعوها قائلين انها تذهب الى القبر لتبكي هناك.

³²Therefore when Mary came to where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying to him, “Lord, if you would have been here, my brother wouldn’t have died.”

³²فمريم لما أتت الى حيث كان يسوع ورأته خرّت عند رجليه قائلة له يا سيد لو كنت ههنا لم يمت اخي.

³³When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews weeping who came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled,

³³فلما رآها يسوع تبكي واليهود الذين جاءوا معها يبكون انزعج بالروح واضطرب

³⁴and said, “Where have you laid him?” They told him, “Lord, come and see.”

³⁴وقال اين وضعتموه. قالوا له يا سيد تعال وانظر.

³⁵Jesus wept.

³⁵بكى يسوع.

³⁶The Jews therefore said, “See how much affection he had for him!”

³⁶فقال اليهود انظروا كيف كان يحبه.

³⁷Some of them said, “Couldn’t this man, who opened the eyes of him who was blind, have also kept this man from dying?”

³⁷وقال بعض منهم ألم يقدر هذا الذي فتح عيني الاعمى ان يجعل هذا ايضا لا يموت

³⁸Jesus therefore, again groaning in himself, came to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it.

³⁸فانزعج يسوع ايضا في نفسه وجاء الى القبر. وكان مغارة وقد وضع عليه حجر.

³⁹Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to him, “Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days.”

³⁹قال يسوع ارفعوا الحجر. قالت له مرثا اخت الميت يا سيد قد انتن لان له اربعة ايام.

⁴⁰Jesus said to her, “Didn’t I tell you that if you believed, you would see God’s glory?”

⁴⁰قال لها يسوع ألم اقل لك ان آمنت ترين مجد الله.

⁴¹So they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. NU omits “from the place where the dead man was lying.” Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, “Father, I thank you that you listened to me.

⁴¹فرفعوا الحجر حيث كان الميت موضوعا ورفع يسوع عينيه الى فوق وقال ايها الآب اشكرك لانك سمعت لي.

⁴² I know that you always listen to me, but because of the multitude that stands around I said this, that they may believe that you sent me.”

⁴²وانا علمت انك في كل حين تسمع لي. ولكن لاجل هذا الجمع الواقف قلت. ليؤمنوا انك ارسلتني.

⁴³When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”

⁴³ولما قال هذا صرخ بصوت عظيم لعازر هلم خارجا.

⁴⁴He who was dead came out, bound hand and foot with wrappings, and his face was wrapped around with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Free him, and let him go.”

⁴⁴فخرج الميت ويداه ورجلاه مربوطات باقمطة ووجهه ملفوف بمنديل. فقال لهم يسوع حلّوه ودعوه يذهب

⁴⁵Therefore many of the Jews, who came to Mary and saw what Jesus did, believed in him.

⁴⁵فكثيرون من اليهود الذين جاءوا الى مريم ونظروا ما فعل يسوع آمنوا به.

⁴⁶But some of them went away to the Pharisees, and told them the things which Jesus had done.

⁴⁶واما قوم منهم فمضوا الى الفريسيين وقالوا لهم عما فعل يسوع.

⁴⁷The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, “What are we doing? For this man does many signs.

⁴⁷فجمع رؤساء الكهنة والفريسيون مجمعا وقالوا ماذا نصنع فان هذا الانسان يعمل آيات كثيرة.

⁴⁸If we leave him alone like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.”

⁴⁸ان تركناه هكذا يؤمن الجميع به فيأتي الرومانيون ويأخذون موضعنا وامّتنا.

⁴⁹But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all,

⁴⁹فقال لهم واحد منهم. وهو قيافا. كان رئيسا للكهنة في تلك السنة. انتم لستم تعرفون شيئا.

⁵⁰nor do you consider that it is advantageous for us that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation not perish.”

⁵⁰ولا تفكرون انه خير لنا ان يموت انسان واحد عن الشعب ولا تهلك الامة كلها.

⁵¹Now he didn’t say this of himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,

⁵¹ولم يقل هذا من نفسه بل اذ كان رئيسا للكهنة في تلك السنة تنبأ ان يسوع مزمع ان يموت عن الامّة.

⁵²and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.

⁵²وليس عن الامة فقط بل ليجمع ابناء الله المتفرقين الى واحد

⁵³So from that day forward they took counsel that they might put him to death.

⁵³فمن ذلك اليوم تشاوروا ليقتلوه.

⁵⁴Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews, but departed from there into the country near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim. He stayed there with his disciples.

⁵⁴فلم يكن يسوع ايضا يمشي بين اليهود علانية بل مضى من هناك الى الكورة القريبة من البرية الى مدينة يقال لها افرايم ومكث هناك مع تلاميذه.

⁵⁵Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand. Many went up from the country to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves.

⁵⁵وكان فصح اليهود قريبا. فصعد كثيرون من الكور الى اورشليم قبل الفصح ليطهروا انفسهم.

⁵⁶Then they sought for Jesus and spoke one with another, as they stood in the temple, “What do you think—that he isn’t coming to the feast at all?”

⁵⁶فكانوا يطلبون يسوع ويقولون فيما بينهم وهم واقفون في الهيكل ماذا تظنون. هل هو لا يأتي الى العيد.

⁵⁷Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had commanded that if anyone knew where he was, he should report it, that they might seize him.

⁵⁷وكان ايضا رؤساء الكهنة والفريسيون قد اصدروا امرا انه ان عرف احد اين هو فليدل عليه لكي يمسكوه
