< مَتَّى 26 >

وَلَمَّا أَنْهَى يَسُوعُ هَذِهِ الأَقْوَالَ كُلَّهَا، قَالَ لِتَلامِيذِهِ: ١ 1
When Jesus had finished saying all these things, He told His disciples,
«أَنْتُمْ تَعْرِفُونَ أَنَّهُ بَعْدَ يَوْمَيْنِ يَأْتِي الْفِصْحُ، وَسَوْفَ يُسَلَّمُ ابْنُ الإِنْسَانِ لِيُصْلَبَ». ٢ 2
“You know that the Passover is two days away, and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified.”
وَعِنْدَئِذٍ اجْتَمَعَ رُؤَسَاءُ الْكَهَنَةِ وَشُيُوخُ الشَّعْبِ فِي دَارِ رَئِيسِ الْكَهَنَةِ الْمَدْعُوِّ قَيَافَا، ٣ 3
At that time the chief priests and elders of the people assembled in the courtyard of the high priest, whose name was Caiaphas,
وَتَآمَرُوا لِيَقْبِضُوا عَلَى يَسُوعَ بِمَكْرٍ وَيَقْتُلُوهُ. ٤ 4
and they conspired to arrest Jesus covertly and kill Him.
وَلَكِنَّهُمْ قَالُوا: «لا نَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ فِي الْعِيدِ، لِئَلّا يَحْدُثَ اضْطِرَابٌ بَيْنَ الشَّعْبِ!» ٥ 5
“But not during the feast,” they said, “or there may be a riot among the people.”
وَإِذْ كَانَ يَسُوعُ فِي بَيْتِ عَنْيَا عِنْدَ سِمْعَانَ الأَبْرَصِ، ٦ 6
While Jesus was in Bethany in the home of Simon the Leper,
جَاءَتْ إِلَيْهِ امْرَأَةٌ تَحْمِلُ قَارُورَةَ عِطْرٍ غَالِي الثَّمَنِ، وَسَكَبَتْهُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ وَهُوَ مُتَّكِىءٌ. ٧ 7
a woman came to Him with an alabaster jar of expensive perfume, which she poured on His head as He reclined at the table.
فَاسْتَاءَ التَّلامِيذُ لَمَّا رَأَوْا ذَلِكَ، وَقَالُوا: «لِمَاذَا هَذَا التَّبْذِيرُ؟ ٨ 8
When the disciples saw this, they were indignant and asked, “Why this waste?
فَقَدْ كَانَ يُمْكِنُ أَنْ يُبَاعَ هَذَا الْعِطْرُ بِمَالٍ كَثِيرٍ، وَيُوْهَبَ الثَّمَنُ لِلْفُقَرَاءِ؟» ٩ 9
This perfume could have been sold at a high price, and the money given to the poor.”
وَإِذْ عَلِمَ يَسُوعُ بِذلِكَ، قَالَ لَهُمْ: «لِمَاذَا تُضَايِقُونَ هَذِهِ الْمَرْأَةَ؟ إِنَّهَا عَمِلَتْ بِي عَمَلاً حَسَناً. ١٠ 10
Aware of this, Jesus asked, “Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a beautiful deed to Me.
فَإِنَّ الْفُقَرَاءَ عِنْدَكُمْ فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ؛ أَمَّا أَنَا فَلَنْ أَكُونَ عِنْدَكُمْ فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ. ١١ 11
The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have Me.
فَإِنَّهَا إِذْ سَكَبَتِ الْعِطْرَ عَلَى جِسْمِي، فَقَدْ فَعَلَتْ ذَلِكَ إِعْدَاداً لِدَفْنِي. ١٢ 12
By pouring this perfume on Me, she has prepared My body for burial.
وَالْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّهُ حَيْثُ يُنَادَى بِهَذَا الإِنْجِيلِ فِي الْعَالَمِ أَجْمَعَ، يُحَدَّثُ أَيْضاً بِمَا عَمِلَتْهُ هَذِهِ الْمَرْأَةُ، إِحْيَاءً لِذِكْرِهَا». ١٣ 13
Truly I tell you, wherever this gospel is preached in all the world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her.”
عِنْدَئِذٍ ذَهَبَ وَاحِدٌ مِنَ الاِثْنَيْ عَشَرَ، وَهُوَ الْمَدْعُوُّ يَهُوذَا الإِسْخَرْيُوطِيُّ، إِلَى رُؤَسَاءِ الْكَهَنَةِ، ١٤ 14
Then one of the Twelve, the one called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests
وَقَالَ: «كَمْ تُعْطُونَنِي لأُسَلِّمَهُ إِلَيْكُمْ؟» فَوَزَنُوا لَهُ ثَلاثِينَ قِطْعَةً مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ. ١٥ 15
and asked, “What are you willing to give me if I hand Him over to you?” And they set out for him thirty pieces of silver.
وَمِنْ ذَلِكَ الْوَقْتِ، أَخَذَ يَهُوذَا يَتَرَقَّبُ الْفُرْصَةَ لِتَسْلِيمِهِ. ١٦ 16
So from then on Judas looked for an opportunity to betray Jesus.
وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الأَوَّلِ مِنْ أَيَّامِ الْفَطِيرِ، تَقَدَّمَ التَّلامِيذُ إِلَى يَسُوعَ يَسْأَلُونَ: «أَيْنَ تُرِيدُ أَنْ نُجَهِّزَ لَكَ الْفِصْحَ لِتَأْكُلَ؟» ١٧ 17
On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?”
أَجَابَهُمْ: «اُدْخُلُوا الْمَدِينَةَ، وَاذْهَبُوا إِلَى فُلانٍ وَقُولُوا لَهُ: الْمُعَلِّمُ يَقُولُ إِنَّ سَاعَتِي قَدِ اقْتَرَبَتْ، وَعِنْدَكَ سَأَعْمَلُ الْفِصْحَ مَعَ تَلامِيذِي». ١٨ 18
He answered, “Go into the city to a certain man and tell him that the Teacher says, ‘My time is near. I will keep the Passover with My disciples at your house.’”
فَفَعَلَ التَّلامِيذُ مَا أَمَرَهُمْ بِهِ يَسُوعُ، وَجَهَّزُوا الْفِصْحَ هُنَاكَ. ١٩ 19
So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover.
وَعِنْدَ الْمَسَاءِ اتَّكَأَ مَعَ الاِثْنَيْ عَشَرَ. ٢٠ 20
When evening came, Jesus was reclining with the twelve disciples.
وَبَيْنَمَا كَانُوا يَأْكُلُونَ، قَالَ: «الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ وَاحِداً مِنْكُمْ سَيُسَلِّمُنِي». ٢١ 21
And while they were eating, He said to them, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray Me.”
فَاسْتَوْلَى عَلَيْهِمِ الْحُزْنُ الشَّدِيدُ، وَأَخَذَ كُلٌّ مِنْهُمْ يَسْأَلُهُ: «هَلْ أَنَا يَا رَبُّ؟» ٢٢ 22
They were deeply grieved and began to ask Him one after another, “Surely not I, Lord?”
فَأَجَابَ: «الَّذِي يَغْمِسُ يَدَهُ مَعِي فِي الصَّحْفَةِ هُوَ الَّذِي يُسَلِّمُنِي. ٢٣ 23
Jesus answered, “The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with Me will betray Me.
إِنَّ ابْنَ الإِنْسَانِ لابُدَّ أَنْ يَمْضِيَ كَمَا قَدْ كُتِبَ عَنْهُ، وَلَكِنِ الْوَيْلُ لِذَلِكَ الرَّجُلِ الَّذِي يُسَلِّمُ ابْنَ الإِنْسَانِ. كَانَ خَيْراً لِذَلِكَ الرَّجُلِ لَوْ لَمْ يُوْلَدْ!» ٢٤ 24
The Son of Man will go just as it is written about Him, but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed. It would be better for him if he had not been born.”
فَسَأَلَهُ يَهُوذَا مُسَلِّمُهُ: «هَلْ أَنَا هُوَ يَا مُعَلِّمُ؟» أَجَابَهُ: «أَنْتَ قُلْتَ!» ٢٥ 25
Then Judas, who would betray Him, said, “Surely not I, Rabbi?” Jesus answered, “You have said it yourself.”
وَبَيْنَمَا كَانُوا يَأْكُلُونَ، أَخَذَ يَسُوعُ رَغِيفاً، وَبَارَكَ، وَكَسَّرَ وَأَعْطَى التَّلامِيذَ وَقَالَ: «خُذُوا، كُلُوا: هَذَا هُوَ جَسَدِي!» ٢٦ 26
While they were eating, Jesus took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to the disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is My body.”
ثُمَّ أَخَذَ الْكَأْسَ، وَشَكَرَ، وَأَعْطَاهُمْ قَائِلاً: «اشْرَبُوا مِنْهَا كُلُّكُمْ. ٢٧ 27
Then He took the cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you.
فَإِنَّ هَذَا هُوَ دَمِي الَّذِي لِلْعَهْدِ الْجَدِيدِ وَالَّذِي يُسْفَكُ مِنْ أَجْلِ كَثِيرِينَ لِمَغْفِرَةِ الْخَطَايَا. ٢٨ 28
This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
عَلَى أَنِّي أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنِّي لَا أَشْرَبُ بَعْدَ الْيَوْمِ مِنْ نِتَاجِ الْكَرْمَةِ هَذَا حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي فِيهِ أَشْرَبُهُ مَعَكُمْ جَدِيداً فِي مَلَكُوتِ أَبِي». ٢٩ 29
I tell you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it anew with you in My Father’s kingdom.”
ثُمَّ رَتَّلُوا، وَانْطَلَقُوا خَارِجاً إِلَى جَبَلِ الزَّيْتُونِ. ٣٠ 30
And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
عِنْدَئِذٍ قَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ سَتَشُكُّونَ فِيَّ كُلُّكُمْ. لأَنَّهُ قَدْ كُتِبَ: سَأَضْرِبُ الرَّاعِيَ، فَتَتَشَتَّتُ خِرَافُ الْقَطِيعِ. ٣١ 31
Then Jesus said to them, “This very night you will all fall away on account of Me. For it is written: ‘I will strike the Shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’
وَلَكِنْ بَعْدَ قِيَامَتِي أَسْبِقُكُمْ إِلَى الْجَلِيلِ». ٣٢ 32
But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.”
فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِ بُطْرُسُ قَائِلاً: «وَلَوْ شَكَّ فِيكَ الْجَمِيعُ، فَأَنَا لَنْ أَشُكَّ!» ٣٣ 33
Peter said to Him, “Even if all fall away on account of You, I never will.”
أَجَابَهُ يَسُوعُ: «الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكَ: إِنَّكَ فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ، قَبْلَ أَنْ يَصِيحَ الدِّيكُ، تَكُونُ قَدْ أَنْكَرْتَنِي ثَلاثَ مَرَّاتٍ!» ٣٤ 34
“Truly I tell you,” Jesus declared, “this very night, before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.”
فَقَالَ بُطْرُسُ: «وَلَوْ كَانَ عَلَيَّ أَنْ أَمُوتَ مَعَكَ، لَا أُنْكِرُك أَبَداً!» وَقَالَ التَّلامِيذُ كُلُّهُمْ مِثْلَ هَذَا الْقَوْلِ. ٣٥ 35
Peter replied, “Even if I have to die with You, I will never deny You.” And all the other disciples said the same thing.
ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ يَسُوعُ وَتَلامِيذُهُ إِلَى بُسْتَانٍ يُدْعَى جَثْسَيْمَانِي، وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «اجْلِسُوا هُنَا حَتَّى أَذْهَبَ إِلَى هُنَاكَ وَأُصَلِّيَ». ٣٦ 36
At that time Jesus went with His disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and He told them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.”
وَقَدْ أَخَذَ مَعَهُ بُطْرُسَ وَابْنَيْ زَبَدِي وَبَدَأَ يَشْعُرُ بِالْحُزْنِ وَالْكَآبَةِ. ٣٧ 37
He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee and began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed.
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «نَفْسِي حَزِينَةٌ جِدّاً حَتَّى الْمَوْتِ! ابْقَوْا هُنَا وَاسْهَرُوا مَعِي!» ٣٨ 38
Then He said to them, “My soul is consumed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with Me.”
وَابْتَعَدَ عَنْهُمْ قَلِيلاً وَارْتَمَى عَلَى وَجْهِهِ يُصَلِّي، قَائِلاً: «يَا أَبِي، إِنْ كَانَ مُمْكِناً، فَلْتَعْبُرْ عَنِّي هَذِهِ الْكَأْسُ: وَلَكِنْ، لَا كَمَا أُرِيدُ أَنَا، بَلْ كَمَا تُرِيدُ أَنْتَ!» ٣٩ 39
Going a little farther, He fell facedown and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me. Yet not as I will, but as You will.”
وَرَجَعَ إِلَى التَّلامِيذِ فَوَجَدَهُمْ نَائِمِينَ، فَقَالَ لِبُطْرُسَ: «أَهَكَذَا لَمْ تَقْدِرُوا أَنْ تَسْهَرُوا مَعِي سَاعَةً وَاحِدَةً؟ ٤٠ 40
Then Jesus returned to the disciples and found them sleeping. “Were you not able to keep watch with Me for one hour?” He asked Peter.
اسْهَرُوا وَصَلُّوا لِكَيْ لَا تَدْخُلُوا فِي تَجْرِبَةٍ. إِنَّ الرُّوحَ نَشِيطٌ؛ أَمَّا الْجَسَدُ فَضَعِيفٌ». ٤١ 41
“Watch and pray so that you will not enter into temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”
وَذَهَبَ ثَانِيَةً يُصَلِّي، فَقَالَ: «يَا أَبِي، إِنْ كَانَ لَا يُمْكِنُ أَنْ تَعْبُرَ عَنِّي هَذِهِ الْكَأْسُ إِلّا بِأَنْ أَشْرَبَهَا، فَلْتَكُنْ مَشِيئَتُك!» ٤٢ 42
A second time He went away and prayed, “My Father, if this cup cannot pass unless I drink it, may Your will be done.”
وَرَجَعَ إِلَى التَّلامِيذِ، فَوَجَدَهُمْ نَائِمِينَ أَيْضاً لأَنَّ النُّعَاسَ أَثْقَلَ أَعْيُنَهُمْ. ٤٣ 43
And again Jesus returned and found them sleeping—for their eyes were heavy.
فَتَرَكَهُمْ، وَعَادَ يُصَلِّي مَرَّةً ثَالِثَةً، وَرَدَّدَ الْكَلامَ نَفْسَهُ. ٤٤ 44
So He left them and went away once more and prayed a third time, saying the same thing.
ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِلَى تَلامِيذِهِ وَقَالَ: «نَامُوا الآنَ وَاسْتَرِيحُوا! حَانَتِ السَّاعَةُ، وَسَوْفَ يُسَلَّمُ ابْنُ الإِنْسَانِ إِلَى أَيْدِي الْخَاطِئِينَ. ٤٥ 45
Then He returned to the disciples and said, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Look, the hour is near, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
قُومُوا لِنَذْهَبَ! هَا قَدِ اقْتَرَبَ الَّذِي يُسَلِّمُنِي». ٤٦ 46
Rise, let us go! See, My betrayer is approaching!”
وَفِيمَا هُوَ يَتَكَلَّمُ، إِذَا يَهُوذَا، أَحَدُ الاِثْنَيْ عَشَرَ، قَدْ وَصَلَ وَمَعَهُ جَمْعٌ عَظِيمٌ يَحْمِلُونَ السُّيُوفَ وَالْعِصِيَّ، وَقَدْ أَرْسَلَهُمْ رُؤَسَاءُ الْكَهَنَةِ وَشُيُوخُ الشَّعْبِ. ٤٧ 47
While Jesus was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived, accompanied by a large crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and elders of the people.
وَكَانَ مُسَلِّمُهُ قَدْ أَعْطَاهُمْ عَلامَةً قَائِلاً: «الَّذِي أُقَبِّلُهُ هُوَ هُوَ؛ فَاقْبِضُوا عَلَيْهِ!» ٤٨ 48
Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The One I kiss is the man; arrest Him.”
فَتَقَدَّمَ فِي الْحَالِ إِلَى يَسُوعَ وَقَالَ: «سَلامٌ يَا سَيِّدِي!» وَقَبَّلَهُ. ٤٩ 49
Going directly to Jesus, he said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed Him.
فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «يَا صَاحِبِي، لِمَاذَا أَنْتَ هُنَا؟» فَتَقَدَّمَ الْجَمْعُ وَأَلْقَوْا الْقَبْضَ عَلَى يَسُوعَ. ٥٠ 50
“Friend,” Jesus replied, “do what you came for.” Then the men stepped forward, seized Jesus, and arrested Him.
وَإذَا وَاحِدٌ مِنَ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا مَعَ يَسُوعَ قَدْ مَدَّ يَدَهُ وَاسْتَلَّ سَيْفَهُ، وَضَرَبَ عَبْدَ رَئِيسِ الْكَهَنَةِ، فَقَطَعَ أُذُنَهُ. ٥١ 51
At this, one of Jesus’ companions drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.
فَقَالَ يَسُوعُ لَهُ: «رُدَّ سَيْفَكَ إِلَى غِمْدِهِ! فَإِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَلْجَأُونَ إِلَى السَّيْفِ، بِالسَّيْفِ يَهْلِكُونَ! ٥٢ 52
“Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him. “For all who draw the sword will die by the sword.
أَمْ تَظُنُّ أَنِّي لَا أَقْدِرُ الآنَ أَنْ أَطْلُبَ إِلَى أَبِي فَيُرْسِلَ لِي أَكْثَرَ مِنِ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ جَيْشاً مِنَ الْمَلائِكَةِ؟ ٥٣ 53
Are you not aware that I can call on My Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve legions of angels?
وَلَكِنْ كَيْفَ يَتِمُّ الْكِتَابُ حَيْثُ يَقُولُ إِنَّ مَا يَحْدُثُ الآنَ لابُدَّ أَنْ يَحْدُثَ؟» ٥٤ 54
But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen this way?”
ثُمَّ وَجَّهَ يَسُوعُ كَلامَهُ إِلَى الْجُمُوعِ قَائِلاً: «خَرَجْتُمْ بِالسُّيُوفِ وَالْعِصِيِّ لِتَقْبِضُوا عَلَيَّ كَمَا عَلَى لِصٍّ. كُنْتُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ بَيْنَكُمْ أُعَلِّمُ فِي الْهَيْكَلِ، وَلَمْ تَقْبِضُوا عَلَيَّ! ٥٥ 55
At that time Jesus said to the crowd, “Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me as you would an outlaw? Every day I sat teaching in the temple courts, and you did not arrest Me.
وَلَكِنْ، قَدْ حَدَثَ هَذَا كُلُّهُ لِتَتِمَّ كِتَابَاتُ الأَنْبِيَاءِ!» عِنْدَئِذٍ تَرَكَهُ التَّلامِيذُ كُلُّهُمْ وَهَرَبُوا! ٥٦ 56
But this has all happened so that the writings of the prophets would be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples deserted Him and fled.
وَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ قَبَضُوا عَلَى يَسُوعَ، فَسَاقُوهُ إِلَى قَيَافَا رَئِيسِ الْكَهَنَةِ، وَقَدِ اجْتَمَعَ عِنْدَهُ الْكَتَبَةُ وَالشُّيُوخُ. ٥٧ 57
Those who had arrested Jesus led Him away to the house of Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and elders had gathered.
وَتَبِعَهُ بُطْرُسُ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ إِلَى دَارِ رَئِيسِ الْكَهَنَةِ، ثُمَّ تَقَدَّمَ إِلَى الدَّاخِلِ، وَجَلَسَ بَيْنَ الْحُرَّاسِ لِيَرَى النِّهَايَةَ. ٥٨ 58
But Peter followed Him at a distance, right up to the courtyard of the high priest. And he went in and sat down with the guards to see the outcome.
وَانْعَقَدَ الْمَجْلِسُ مِنْ رُؤَسَاءِ الْكَهَنَةِ وَالشُّيُوخِ كُلِّهِمْ، وَبَحَثُوا عَنْ شَهَادَةِ زُورٍ عَلَى يَسُوعَ، لِيَحْكُمُوا عَلَيْهِ بِالْمَوْتِ، ٥٩ 59
Now the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were seeking false testimony against Jesus in order to put Him to death.
وَلَكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَجِدُوا، مَعَ أَنَّهُ حَضَرَ شُهُودُ زُورٍ كَثِيرُونَ. أَخِيراً تَقَدَّمَ اثْنَانِ ٦٠ 60
But they did not find any, though many false witnesses came forward. Finally two came forward
وَقَالا: «هَذَا قَالَ: إِنِّي أَقْدِرُ أَنْ أَهْدِمَ هَيْكَلَ اللهِ وَأَبْنِيَهُ فِي ثَلاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ». ٦١ 61
and declared, “This man said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God and rebuild it in three days.’”
فَوَقَفَ رَئِيسُ الْكَهَنَةِ وَسَأَلَهُ: «أَمَا تُجِيبُ بِشَيْءٍ عَلَى مَا يَشْهَدُ بِهِ هَذَانِ عَلَيْكَ؟» ٦٢ 62
So the high priest stood up and asked Him, “Have You no answer? What are these men testifying against You?”
وَلَكِنَّ يَسُوعَ ظَلَّ صَامِتاً. فَعَادَ رَئِيسُ الْكَهَنَةِ يَسْأَلُهُ: قَالَ: «أَسْتَحْلِفُكَ بِاللهِ الْحَيِّ أَنْ تَقُولَ لَنَا: هَلْ أَنْتَ الْمَسِيحُ ابْنُ اللهِ؟» ٦٣ 63
But Jesus remained silent. Then the high priest said to Him, “I charge You under oath by the living God: Tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God.”
فَأَجَابَهُ يَسُوعُ: «أَنْتَ قُلْتَ! وَأَقُولُ لَكُمْ أَيْضاً إِنَّكُمْ مُنْذُ الآنَ سَوْفَ تَرَوْنَ ابْنَ الإِنْسَانِ جَالِساً عَنْ يَمِينِ الْقُدْرَةِ ثُمَّ آتِياً عَلَى سُحُبِ السَّمَاءِ!» ٦٤ 64
“You have said it yourself,” Jesus answered. “But I say to all of you, from now on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power and coming on the clouds of heaven.”
فَشَقَّ رَئِيسُ الْكَهَنَةِ ثِيَابَهُ وَصَرَخَ: «قَدْ جَدَّفَ! لَا حَاجَةَ بِنَا بَعْدُ إِلَى شُهُودٍ. وَهَا أَنْتُمْ قَدْ سَمِعْتُمْ تَجْدِيفَهُ. ٦٥ 65
At this, the high priest tore his clothes and declared, “He has blasphemed! Why do we need any more witnesses? Look, now you have heard the blasphemy.
فَمَا رَأْيُكُمْ؟» أَجَابُوا: «يَسْتَحِقُّ عُقُوبَةَ الْمَوْتِ!» ٦٦ 66
What do you think?” “He deserves to die,” they answered.
فَبَصَقُوا فِي وَجْهِهِ، وَضَرَبُوهُ، وَلَطَمَهُ بَعْضُهُمْ ٦٧ 67
Then they spit in His face and struck Him. Others slapped Him
قَائِلِينَ: «تَنَبَّأْ لَنَا، أَيُّهَا الْمَسِيحُ، مَنْ ضَرَبَك!» ٦٨ 68
and said, “Prophesy to us, Christ! Who hit You?”
فِي تِلْكَ الأَثْنَاءِ كَانَ بُطْرُسُ جَالِساً فِي الدَّارِ الْخَارِجِيَّةِ، فَتَقَدَّمَتْ إِلَيْهِ خَادِمَةٌ وَقَالَتْ: «وَأَنْتَ كُنْتَ مَعَ يَسُوعَ الْجَلِيلِيِّ». ٦٩ 69
Meanwhile, Peter was sitting out in the courtyard, and a servant girl came up to him. “You also were with Jesus the Galilean,” she said.
فَأَنْكَرَ بُطْرُسُ أَمَامَ الْجَمِيعِ وَقَالَ: «لا أَدْرِي مَا تَقُولِينَ!» ٧٠ 70
But he denied it before them all: “I do not know what you are talking about.”
ثُمَّ خَرَجَ إِلَى مَدْخَلِ الدَّارِ، فَعَرَفَتْهُ خَادِمَةٌ أُخْرَى، فَقَالَتْ لِلْحَاضِرِينَ هُنَاكَ: «وَهَذَا كَانَ مَعَ يَسُوعَ النَّاصِرِيِّ!» ٧١ 71
When Peter had gone out to the gateway, another servant girl saw him and said to the people there, “This man was with Jesus of Nazareth.”
فَأَنْكَرَ بُطْرُسُ مَرَّةً ثَانِيَةً وَأَقْسَمَ: «إِنِّي لَا أَعْرِفُ ذلِكَ الرَّجُلَ!» ٧٢ 72
And again he denied it with an oath: “I do not know the man!”
وَبَعْدَ قَلِيلٍ تَقَدَّمَ الْوَاقِفُونَ هُنَاكَ إِلَى بُطْرُسَ وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «بِالْحَقِّ إِنَّكَ وَاحِدٌ مِنْهُمْ، فَإِنَّ لَهْجَتَكَ تَدُلُّ عَلَيْكَ!» ٧٣ 73
After a little while, those standing nearby came up to Peter. “Surely you are one of them,” they said, “for your accent gives you away.”
فَابْتَدَأَ بُطْرُسُ يَلْعَنُ وَيَحْلِفُ، قَائِلاً: «إِنِّي لَا أَعْرِفُ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلَ!» وَفِي الْحَالِ صَاحَ الدِّيكُ، ٧٤ 74
At that he began to curse and swear to them, “I do not know the man!” And immediately a rooster crowed.
فَتَذَكَّرَ بُطْرُسُ كَلِمَةَ يَسُوعَ إِذْ قَالَ لَهُ: «قَبْلَ أَنْ يَصِيحَ الدِّيكُ تَكُونُ قَدْ أَنْكَرْتَنِي ثَلاثَ مَرَّاتٍ». فَخَرَجَ إِلَى الْخَارِجِ، وَبَكَى بُكَاءً مُرّاً. ٧٥ 75
Then Peter remembered the word that Jesus had spoken: “Before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.” And he went outside and wept bitterly.
