¹Now when morning had come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:

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

²and they bound him, and led him away, and delivered him up to Pontius Pilate, the governor.

²فاوثقوه ومضوا به ودفعوه الى بيلاطس البنطي الوالي

³Then Judas, who betrayed him, when he saw that Jesus was condemned, felt remorse, and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,

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

⁴saying, “I have sinned in that I betrayed innocent blood.” But they said, “What is that to us? You see to it.”

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

⁵He threw down the pieces of silver in the sanctuary, and departed. He went away and hanged himself.

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

⁶The chief priests took the pieces of silver, and said, “It’s not lawful to put them into the treasury, since it is the price of blood.”

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

⁷They took counsel, and bought the potter’s field with them, to bury strangers in.

⁷فتشاوروا واشتروا بها حقل الفخاري مقبرة للغرباء.

⁸Therefore that field was called “The Field of Blood” to this day.

⁸لهذا سمي ذلك الحقل حقل الدم الى هذا اليوم.

⁹Then that which was spoken through Jeremiah some manuscripts omit “Jeremiah” the prophet was fulfilled, saying, “They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him upon whom a price had been set, whom some of the children of Israel priced,

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

¹⁰and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord commanded me.” Zechariah 11:12-13; Jeremiah 19:1-13; 32:6-9

¹⁰واعطوها عن حقل الفخاري كما امرني الرب

¹¹Now Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, “Are you the King of the Jews?” Jesus said to him, “So you say.”

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

¹²When he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.

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

¹³Then Pilate said to him, “Don’t you hear how many things they testify against you?”

¹³فقال له بيلاطس أما تسمع كم يشهدون عليك.

¹⁴He gave him no answer, not even one word, so that the governor marveled greatly.

¹⁴فلم يجبه ولا عن كلمة واحدة حتى تعجب الوالي جدا

¹⁵Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release to the multitude one prisoner, whom they desired.

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

¹⁶They had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.

¹⁶وكان لهم حينئذ اسير مشهور يسمى باراباس.

¹⁷When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus, who is called Christ?”

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

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

¹⁸لانه علم انهم اسلموه حسدا.

¹⁹While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, “Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.”

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

²⁰Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes to ask for Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.

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

²¹But the governor answered them, “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” They said, “Barabbas!”

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

²²Pilate said to them, “What then shall I do to Jesus, who is called Christ?” They all said to him, “Let him be crucified!”

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

²³But the governor said, “Why? What evil has he done?” But they cried out exceedingly, saying, “Let him be crucified!”

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

²⁴So when Pilate saw that nothing was being gained, but rather that a disturbance was starting, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, “I am innocent of the blood of this righteous person. You see to it.”

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.

²⁵All the people answered, “May his blood be on us, and on our children!”

²⁵فاجاب جميع الشعب وقالوا دمه علينا وعلى اولادنا.

²⁶Then he released to them Barabbas, but Jesus he flogged and delivered to be crucified.

²⁶حينئذ اطلق لهم باراباس. واما يسوع فجلده واسلمه ليصلب

²⁷Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium, and gathered the whole garrison together against him.

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

²⁸They stripped him, and put a scarlet robe on him.

²⁸فعروه والبسوه رداء قرمزيا.

²⁹They braided a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they kneeled down before him, and mocked him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!”

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

³⁰They spat on him, and took the reed and struck him on the head.

³⁰وبصقوا عليه واخذوا القصبة وضربوه على راسه.

³¹When they had mocked him, they took the robe off of him, and put his clothes on him, and led him away to crucify him.

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

³²As they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name, and they compelled him to go with them, that he might carry his cross.

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

³³They came to a place called “Golgotha,” that is to say, “The place of a skull.”

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

³⁴They gave him sour wine to drink mixed with gall. When he had tasted it, he would not drink.

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

³⁵When they had crucified him, they divided his clothing among them, casting lots, TR adds “that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet: ‘They divided my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots;’” [see Psalm 22:18 and John 19:24]

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

³⁶and they sat and watched him there.

³⁶ثم جلسوا يحرسونه هناك.

³⁷They set up over his head the accusation against him written, “THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

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

³⁸Then there were two robbers crucified with him, one on his right hand and one on the left.

³⁸حينئذ صلب معه لصان واحد عن اليمين وواحد عن اليسار

³⁹Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads,

³⁹وكان المجتازون يجدفون عليه وهم يهزون رؤوسهم

⁴⁰and saying, “You who destroy the temple, and build it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross!”

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

⁴¹Likewise the chief priests also mocking, with the scribes, the Pharisees, TR omits “the Pharisees” and the elders, said,

⁴¹وكذلك رؤساء الكهنة ايضا وهم يستهزئون مع الكتبة والشيوخ قالوا

⁴²“He saved others, but he can’t save himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him.

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

⁴³He trusts in God. Let God deliver him now, if he wants him; for he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”

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

⁴⁴The robbers also who were crucified with him cast on him the same reproach.

⁴⁴وبذلك ايضا كان اللصّان اللذان صلبا معه يعيّرانه

⁴⁵Now from the sixth hour noon there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour. 3:00 P. M.

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

⁴⁶About the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lima TR reads “lama” instead of “lima” sabachthani?” That is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” Psalm 22:1

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

⁴⁷Some of them who stood there, when they heard it, said, “This man is calling Elijah.”

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

⁴⁸Immediately one of them ran, and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him a drink.

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

⁴⁹The rest said, “Let him be. Let’s see whether Elijah comes to save him.”

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

⁵⁰Jesus cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit.

⁵⁰فصرخ يسوع ايضا بصوت عظيم واسلم الروح

⁵¹Behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom. The earth quaked and the rocks were split.

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

⁵²The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised;

⁵²والقبور تفتحت وقام كثير من اجساد القديسين الراقدين.

⁵³and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection, they entered into the holy city and appeared to many.

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

⁵⁴Now the centurion, and those who were with him watching Jesus, when they saw the earthquake, and the things that were done, feared exceedingly, saying, “Truly this was the Son of God.”

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

⁵⁵Many women were there watching from afar, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, serving him.

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

⁵⁶Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

⁵⁶وبينهنّ مريم المجدلية ومريم ام يعقوب ويوسي وام ابني زبدي

⁵⁷When evening had come, a rich man from Arimathaea, named Joseph, who himself was also Jesus’ disciple came.

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

⁵⁸This man went to Pilate, and asked for Jesus’ body. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given up.

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

⁵⁹Joseph took the body, and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

⁵⁹فاخذ يوسف الجسد ولفه بكتان نقي.

⁶⁰and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had cut out in the rock, and he rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, and departed.

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

⁶¹Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the tomb.

⁶¹وكانت هناك مريم المجدلية ومريم الاخرى جالستين تجاه القبر

⁶²Now on the next day, which was the day after the Preparation Day, the chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered together to Pilate,

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

⁶³saying, “Sir, we remember what that deceiver said while he was still alive: ‘After three days I will rise again.’

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

⁶⁴Command therefore that the tomb be made secure until the third day, lest perhaps his disciples come at night and steal him away, and tell the people, ‘He is risen from the dead;’ and the last deception will be worse than the first.”

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

⁶⁵Pilate said to them, “You have a guard. Go, make it as secure as you can.”

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

⁶⁶So they went with the guard and made the tomb secure, sealing the stone.

⁶⁶فمضوا وضبطوا القبر بالحراس وختموا الحجر
