< Luke 23 >

1 And one and all the throng of them, arising, led him unto Pilate.
فَقَامَتْ جَمَاعَتُهُمْ كُلُّهَا، وَسَاقُوا يَسُوعَ إِلَى بِيلاطُسَ.١
2 And they began to accuse him, saying—This one, found we, perverting our nation, and forbidding to give, tribute unto Caesar, —and affirming himself to be, an anointed king.
وَبَدَأُوا يَتَّهِمُونَهُ قَائِلِينَ: «تَبَيَّنَ لَنَا أَنَّ هَذَا يُضَلِّلُ أُمَّتَنَا، وَيَمْنَعُ أَنْ تُدْفَعَ الْجِزْيَةُ لِلْقَيْصَرِ وَيَدَّعِي أَنَّهُ الْمَسِيحُ الْمَلِكُ!»٢
3 And, Pilate, questioned him, saying—Art, thou, the king of the Jews? And, he, answering him, said—Thou, sayest.
فَسَأَلَهُ بِيلاطُسُ: «أَأَنْتَ مَلِكُ الْيَهُودِ؟» فَأَجَابَهُ: «أَنْتَ قُلْتَ!»٣
4 And, Pilate, said unto the High-priests and the multitudes, Nothing, find I, worthy of blame, in this man.
فَقَالَ بِيلاطُسُ لِرُؤَسَاءِ الْكَهَنَةِ وَالْجُمُوعِ: «لا أَجِدُ ذَنْباً فِي هَذَا الإِنْسَانِ!»٤
5 But, they, began to be urgent, saying—He is stirring up the people, teaching along all Judaea, even beginning from Galilee unto this place.
وَلَكِنَّهُمْ أَلَحُّوا قَائِلِينَ: «إِنَّهُ يُثِيرُ الشَّعْبَ، مُعَلِّماً فِي الْيَهُودِيَّةِ كُلِّهَا، ابْتِدَاءً مِنَ الْجَلِيلِ حَتَّى هُنَا!»٥
6 Now, Pilate, hearing [that], questioned whether the man was, a Galilaean.
فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ بِيلاطُسُ ذِكْرَ الْجَلِيلِ، اسْتَفْسَرَ: «هَلِ الرَّجُلُ مِنَ الْجَلِيلِ؟».٦
7 And, getting to know that he was of the jurisdiction of Herod, he sent him back unto Herod, he also, being in Jerusalem in these days.
وَإِذْ عَلِمَ أَنَّهُ تَابِعٌ لِسُلْطَةِ هِيرُودُسَ، أَحَالَهُ عَلَى هِيرُودُسَ، إِذْ كَانَ هُوَ أَيْضاً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ فِي تِلْكَ الأَيَّامِ.٧
8 And, Herod, seeing Jesus, rejoiced exceedingly; for he had been, a considerable number of times, wishing to see him, —because he had heard concerning him, and was hoping, some sign, to behold, by him, brought to pass.
وَلَمَّا رَأَى هِيرُودُسُ يَسُوعَ، فَرِحَ جِدّاً، لأَنَّهُ كَانَ يَتَمَنَّى مِنْ زَمَانٍ طَوِيلٍ أَنْ يَرَاهُ بِسَبَبِ سَمَاعِهِ الْكَثِيرَ عَنْهُ، وَيَرْجُو أَنْ يَرَى آيَةً تُجْرَى عَلَى يَدِهِ.٨
9 And he went on to question him in a good many words; but, he, answered him, nothing.
فَسَأَلَهُ فِي قَضَايَا كَثِيرَةٍ، أَمَّا هُوَ فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ عَنْ شَيْءٍ.٩
10 And the High-priests and the Scribes stood vehemently accusing him.
وَوَقَفَ رُؤَسَاءُ الْكَهَنَةِ وَالْكَتَبَةُ يَتَّهِمُونَهُ بِعُنْفٍ.١٠
11 And Herod with his soldiery, having set him at nought, and mocked him, threw about him a gorgeous robe, and sent him back unto Pilate.
فَاحْتَقَرَهُ هِيرُودُسُ وَجُنُودُهُ، وَسَخِرَ مِنْهُ، إِذْ أَلْبَسَهُ ثَوْباً بَرَّاقاً وَرَدَّهُ إِلَى بِيلاطُسَ.١١
12 And they became friends—both Herod and Pilate—on the self-same day, one with another; for they had previously been at enmity between themselves.
وَصَارَ بِيلاطُسُ وَهِيرُودُسُ صَدِيقَيْنِ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ، وَقَدْ كَانَتْ بَيْنَهُمَا عَدَاوَةٌ سَابِقَةٌ.١٢
13 And, Pilate, calling together the High-priests, and the Rulers, and the people,
فَدَعَا بِيلاطُسُ رُؤَسَاءَ الْكَهَنَةِ وَالْقُوَّادَ وَالشَّعْبَ.١٣
14 said unto them—Ye brought unto me this man, as one turning away the people, and lo! I, in your presence, examining him, found, nothing, in this man worthy of blame, in respect of the things whereof ye were making accusation against him.
وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَحْضَرْتُمْ إِلَيَّ هَذَا الإِنْسَانَ عَلَى أَنَّهُ يُضَلِّلُ الشَّعْبَ. وَهَا أَنَا، بَعْدَمَا فَحَصْتُ الأَمْرَ أَمَامَكُمْ، لَمْ أَجِدْ فِي هَذَا الإِنْسَانِ أَيَّ ذَنْبٍ مِمَّا تَتَّهِمُونَهُ بِهِ،١٤
15 Nay! nor Herod; for he hath sent him back unto you, —and lo! nothing worthy of death, hath been done by him.
وَلا وَجَدَ هِيرُودُسُ أَيْضاً، إِذْ رَدَّهُ إِلَيْنَا. وَهَا إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَفْعَلْ شَيْئاً يَسْتَوْجِبُ الْمَوْتَ.١٥
16 So, then, chastising him, I will release him.
فَسَأَجْلِدُهُ إِذَنْ وَأُطْلِقُهُ».١٦
وَكَانَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يُطْلِقَ لَهُمْ فِي كُلِّ عِيدٍ سَجِيناً وَاحِداً.١٧
18 But they cried aloud, with the whole throng, saying—Away with this man! and release unto us Barabbas: —
وَلَكِنَّهُمْ صَرَخُوا بِجُمْلَتِهِمْ: «اقْتُلْ هَذَا، وَأَطْلِقْ لَنَا بَارَابَاسَ!»١٨
19 who indeed, because of a certain revolt which had occurred in the city, and of murder, had been thrown into prison.
وَكَانَ ذَاكَ قَدْ أُلْقِيَ فِي السِّجْنِ بِسَبَبِ فِتْنَةٍ حَدَثَتْ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ وَبِسَبَبِ قَتْلٍ.١٩
20 Again, however, Pilate, called out unto them, wishing to release Jesus.
فَخَاطَبَهُمْ بِيلاطُسُ ثَانِيَةً وَهُوَ رَاغِبٌ فِي إِطْلاقِ يَسُوعَ.٢٠
21 But, they, called out in return, saying—Crucify! crucify him!
فَرَدُّوا صَارِخِينَ: «اصْلِبْهُ! اصْلِبْهُ!»٢١
22 But, he, the third time, said unto them—Why! what base thing hath this man done? Nothing worthy of death, found I in him. Chastising him, then, I will release him!
فَسَأَلَهُمْ ثَالِثَةً: «فَأَيَّ شَرٍّ فَعَلَ هَذَا؟ لَمْ أَجِدْ فِيهِ ذَنْباً عُقُوبَتُهُ الْمَوْتُ. فَسَأَجْلِدُهُ إِذَنْ وَأُطْلِقُهُ!»٢٢
23 But they became urgent with loud voices, claiming to have him crucified; and their voices began to prevail.
فَأَخَذُوا يُلِحُّونَ صَارِخِينَ بِأَصْوَاتٍ عَالِيَةٍ، طَالِبِينَ أَنْ يُصْلَبَ! فَتَغَلَّبَتْ أَصْوَاتُهُمْ،٢٣
24 And, Pilate, consented, that their request should be granted;
وَحَكَمَ بِيلاطُسُ أَنْ يُنَفَّذَ طَلَبُهُمْ.٢٤
25 and released him who, for revolt and murder, had been cast into prison, whom they claimed, —whereas, Jesus, delivered he up unto their will.
فَأَطْلَقَ الَّذِي كَانَ قَدْ أُلْقِيَ فِي السِّجْنِ بِسَبَبِ الْفِتْنَةِ وَالْقَتْلِ، ذَاكَ الَّذِي طَلَبُوا إِطْلاقَهُ. وَأَمَّا يَسُوعُ فَسَلَّمَهُ بِيلاطُسُ إِلَى إِرَادَتِهِمْ.٢٥
26 And, as they led him away, they laid hold of a certain Simon, a Cyrenian, coming from the country, —they laid on him the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus.
وَفِيمَا هُمْ يَسُوقُونَهُ (إِلَى الصَّلْبِ)، أَمْسَكُوا رَجُلاً مِنَ الْقَيْرَوَانِ اسْمُهُ سِمْعَانُ، كَانَ رَاجِعاً مِنَ الْحَقْلِ، وَوَضَعُوا عَلَيْهِ الصَّلِيبَ لِيَحْمِلَهُ خَلْفَ يَسُوعَ.٢٦
27 And there was following him a great throng of the people, and of women, who were smiting themselves and lamenting him.
وَقَدْ تَبِعَهُ جَمْعٌ كَبِيرٌ مِنَ الشَّعْبِ وَمِنْ نِسَاءٍ كُنَّ يُوَلْوِلْنَ وَيَنْدُبْنَهُ.٢٧
28 But, turning towards them, Jesus said—Daughters of Jerusalem! Do not weep for me; but, for yourselves, be weeping, and for your children.
فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَيْهِنَّ يَسُوعُ، وَقَالَ: «يَا بَنَاتِ أُورُشَلِيمَ، لَا تَبْكِينَ عَلَيِّ، بَلِ ابْكِينَ عَلَى أَنْفُسِكُنَّ وَعَلَى أَوْلادِكُنَّ!٢٨
29 For lo! days are coming, in which they will say—Happy the barren! even the wombs that never bare, and the breasts that never gave suck.
فَهَا إِنَّ أَيَّاماً سَتَأْتِي فِيهَا يَقُولُ النَّاسُ: طُوبَى لِلْعَوَاقِرِ اللَّوَاتِي مَا حَمَلَتْ بُطُونُهُنَّ وَلا أَرْضَعَتْ أَثْدَاؤُهُنَّ!٢٩
30 Then, will they begin to say—unto the mountains, Fall upon us! and unto the hills, Cover us!
عِنْدَئِذٍ يَقُولُونَ لِلْجِبَالِ: اسْقُطِي عَلَيْنَا، وَلِلتِّلالِ: غَطِّينَا!٣٠
31 Because if, in moist wood, these things, they are doing, —in, the dry, what shall happen?
فَإِنْ كَانُوا قَدْ فَعَلُوا هَذَا بِالْغُصْنِ الأَخْضَرِ، فَمَاذَا يَجْرِي لِلْيَابِسِ؟»٣١
32 And there were being led, two other evil-doers also, to be lifted up.
وَسِيقَ إِلَى الْقَتْلِ مَعَ يَسُوعَ أَيْضاً اثْنَانِ مِنَ الْمُجْرِمِينَ.٣٢
33 And, when they came into the place which was called Skull, there, they crucified him; and the evil-doers, one indeed on the right hand, and the other on the left.
وَلَمَّا وَصَلُوا إِلَى الْمَكَانِ الَّذِي يُدْعَى الْجُمْجُمَةَ، صَلَبُوهُ هُنَاكَ مَعَ الْمُجْرِمَيْنِ، وَاحِدٌ عَنِ الْيَمِينِ وَالآخَرُ عَنِ اليَسَارِ.٣٣
34 But, Jesus, was saying—Father! forgive them; for they know not what they do. And, when they were parting his garments, they cast lots.
وَقَالَ يَسُوعُ: «يَا أَبِي، اغْفِرْ لَهُمْ، لأَنَّهُمْ لَا يَدْرُونَ مَا يَفْعَلُونَ!» وَاقْتَسَمُوا ثِيَابَهُ مُقْتَرِعِينَ عَلَيْهَا.٣٤
35 And the people were standing, looking on. But the rulers were sneering, saying—Others, he saved, let him save himself, —if, this, is, the Christ of God, the Chosen.
وَوَقَفَ الشَّعْبُ هُنَاكَ يُرَاقِبُونَهُ، وَكَذلِكَ الرُّؤَسَاءُ يَتَهَكَّمُونَ قَائِلِينَ: «خَلَّصَ آخَرِينَ! فَلْيُخَلِّصْ نَفْسَهُ إِنْ كَانَ هُوَ الْمَسِيحَ الْمُخْتَارَ عِنْدَ اللهِ!»٣٥
36 Moreover the soldiers also mocked him, —coming near, offering, vinegar, unto him,
وَسَخِرَ مِنْهُ الْجُنُودُ أَيْضاً، فَكَانُوا يَتَقَدَّمُونَ إِلَيْهِ وَيُقَدِّمُونَ لَهُ خَلًّا،٣٦
37 and saying—If, thou, art the King of the Jews, save thyself.
قَائِلِينَ: «إِنْ كُنْتَ أَنْتَ مَلِكَ الْيَهُودِ، فَخَلِّصْ نَفْسَكَ»٣٧
38 Now there was an inscription also, over him—THE KING OF THE JEWS, THIS!
وَكَانَتْ فَوْقَهُ لافِتَةٌ كُتِبَ فِيهَا: «هَذَا هُوَ مَلِكُ الْيَهُودِ».٣٨
39 And, one of the suspended evil-doers, began to defame him—Art not, thou, the Christ? Save thyself and us!
وَأَخَذَ وَاحِدٌ مِنَ الْمُجْرِمَيْنِ الْمَصْلُوبَيْنِ يُجَدِّفُ عَلَيْهِ فَيَقُولُ: «أَلَسْتَ أَنْتَ الْمَسِيحَ؟ إِذَنْ خَلِّصْ نَفْسَكَ وَخَلِّصْنَا!»٣٩
40 But the other, answering, rebuked him, and said—Neither fearest, thou, God, in that thou art, in the same judgment?
وَلكِنَّ الآخَرَ كَلَّمَهُ زَاجِراً فَقَالَ: «أَحَتَّى أَنْتَ لَا تَخَافُ اللهَ، وَأَنْتَ تُعَانِي الْعُقُوبَةَ نَفْسَهَا؟٤٠
41 And, we, indeed, justly, —for, things worthy of what we have done, are we duly receiving, but, this man, nothing amiss, hath done.
أَمَّا نَحْنُ فَعُقُوبَتُنَا عَادِلَةٌ لأَنَّنَا نَنَالُ الْجَزَاءَ الْعَادِلَ لِقَاءَ مَا فَعَلْنَا. وَأَمَّا هَذَا الإِنْسَانُ، فَلَمْ يَفْعَلُ شَيْئاً فِي غَيْرِ مَحَلِّهِ!»٤١
42 And he went on to say—Jesus! remember me, whensoever thou shalt come into thy kingdom.
ثُمَّ قَالَ: «يَا يَسُوعُ، اذْكُرْنِي عِنْدَمَا تَجِيءُ فِي مَلَكُوتِكَ!»٤٢
43 And he said unto him—Verily, I say unto thee this day: With me, shalt thou be in Paradise.
فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكَ: الْيَوْمَ سَتَكُونُ مَعِي فِي الْفِرْدَوْسِ!»٤٣
44 And it was already about the sixth hour, and, darkness, came upon the whole land, until the ninth hour, —
وَنَحْوَ السَّاعَةِ السَّادِسَةِ (الثَّانِيَةَ عَشْرَةَ ظُهْراً)، حَلَّ الظَّلامُ عَلَى الأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا حَتَّى السَّاعَةِ التَّاسِعَةِ (الثَّالِثَةِ بَعْدَ الظُّهْرِ).٤٤
45 the sun failing; and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.
وَأَظْلَمَتِ الشَّمْسُ، وَانْشَطَرَ سِتَارُ الْهَيْكَلِ مِنَ الوَسَطِ.٤٥
46 And, calling out with a loud voice, Jesus said—Father! into thy hands, I commend my spirit. And, this, saying, he ceased to breathe.
وَقَالَ يَسُوعُ صَارِخاً بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ: «يَا أَبِي، فِي يَدَيْكَ أَسْتَوْدِعُ رُوحِي!» وَإِذْ قَالَ هَذَا، أَسْلَمَ الرُّوحَ.٤٦
47 And the centurion, beholding that which came to pass, began to glorify God, saying—In very deed, this man, was, righteous.
فَلَمَّا رَأَى قَائِدُ الْمِئَةِ مَا حَدَثَ، مَجَّدَ اللهَ قَائِلاً: «بِالْحَقِيقَةِ كَانَ هَذَا الإِنْسَانُ بَارّاً».٤٧
48 And, all the multitudes who had been drawn together unto this spectacle, having looked upon the things that came to pass, smiting their breasts, began to return.
كَذلِكَ الْجُمُوعُ الَّذِينَ احْتَشَدُوا لِيُرَاقِبُوا مَشْهَدَ الصَّلْبِ، لَمَّا رَأَوْا مَا حَدَثَ، رَجَعُوا قَارِعِينَ الصُّدُورَ.٤٨
49 But all they who were acquainted with him, were standing afar off, women also who had followed with him from Galilee, —beholding these things.
أَمَّا جَمِيعُ مَعَارِفِهِ، بِمَنْ فِيهِمِ النِّسَاءُ اللَّوَاتِي تَبِعْنَهُ مِنَ الْجَلِيلِ، فَقَدْ كَانُوا وَاقِفِينَ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ يُرَاقِبُونَ هذِهِ الأُمُورَ.٤٩
50 And lo! a man, by name Joseph, being, a councillor, —a good and righteous man
وَكَانَ فِي الْمَجْلِسِ الأَعْلَى إِنْسَانٌ اسْمُهُ يُوسُفُ، وَهُوَ إِنْسَانٌ صَالِحٌ وَتَقِيٌّ٥٠
51 (the same had not consented unto their plan and deed), —from Arimathaea, a city of the Jews, who was awaiting the kingdom of God,
لَمْ يَكُنْ مُوَافِقاً عَلَى قَرَارِ أَعْضَاءِ الْمَجْلِسِ وَفِعْلَتِهِمْ، وَهُوَ مِنَ الرَّامَةِ إِحْدَى مُدُنِ الْيَهُودِ، وَكَانَ مِنْ مُنْتَظِرِي مَلَكُوتِ اللهِ.٥١
52 the same, going unto Pilate, claimed the body of Jesus.
فَإِذَا بِهِ قَدْ تَقَدَّمَ إِلَى بِيلاطُسَ وَطَلَبَ جُثْمَانَ يَسُوعَ.٥٢
53 And, taking it down, he wrapped it in a fine Indian cloth, and laid him in a tomb hewn in stone, —where no one as yet was lying.
ثُمَّ أَنْزَلَهُ (مِنْ عَلَى الصَّلِيبِ) وَكَفَّنَهُ بِكَتَّانِ، وَوَضَعَهُ فِي قَبْرٍ مَنْحُوتٍ (فِي الصَّخْرِ) لَمْ يُدْفَنْ فِيهِ أَحَدٌ مِنْ قَبْلُ.٥٣
54 And it was a day of preparation, and, a Sabbath, was about to dawn.
وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ النَّهَارُ يَوْمَ الإِعْدَادِ لِلسَّبْتِ الَّذِي كَانَ قَدْ بَدَأَ يَقْتَرِبُ.٥٤
55 And the women, they who had come out of Galilee with him, following after, observed the tomb, and how his body was laid.
وَتَبِعَتْ يُوسُفَ النِّسَاءُ اللَّوَاتِي خَرَجْنَ مِنَ الْجَلِيلِ مَعَ يَسُوعَ، فَرَأَيْنَ الْقَبْرَ وَكَيْفَ وُضِعَ جُثْمَانُهُ.٥٥
56 And, returning, they made ready spices and perfumes. And, on the Sabbath, indeed, they were quiet, according to the commandment;
ثُمَّ رَجَعْنَ وَهَيَّأْنَ حَنُوطاً وَطِيباً، وَاسْتَرَحْنَ يَوْمَ السَّبْتِ حَسَبَ الْوَصِيَّةِ.٥٦
