Luke 23
1 Then the whole group got up and took Jesus to Pilate, [the Roman governor].
| آنگاه اعضای شورا همگی برخاسته، عیسی را به حضور «پیلاتُس»، فرماندار رومی یهودیه بردند، |
2 They began to accuse Jesus, saying, “We [(exc)] have determined that this fellow has caused political trouble in our country. He has been [telling people that they should] not pay taxes to the Roman government [MTY]. Also, he says that he is the Messiah, a king!”
| و شکایات خود را علیه او عنوان کرده، گفتند: «این شخص مردم را تحریک می‌کند که به دولت روم مالیات ندهند، و ادعا می‌کند که مسیح، یعنی پادشاه ماست.» |
3 Pilate asked him, “Do you [(sg) claim that you are] the King of the Jews?” He replied, “[It is] as you have [just] now said.”
| پیلاتُس از عیسی پرسید: «آیا تو مسیح، پادشاه یهود هستی؟» عیسی جواب داد: «خودت گفتی.» |
4 Pilate said to the chief priests and [the rest of] the crowd, “I do not conclude that this man is guilty of any crime.”
| پیلاتُس رو به کاهنان اعظم و جماعت کرد و گفت: «خوب، اینکه جرم نیست!» |
5 But they kept insisting, “He is inciting the people [to riot]! He has been teaching his [ideas] throughout all of Judea [district]. He started [doing it] in Galilee [district] and now he is doing it here!”
| ایشان پافشاری نموده، گفتند: «اما او در سراسر یهودیه، از جلیل تا اورشلیم، هر جا می‌رود، به ضد دولت روم آشوب بپا می‌کند.» |
6 When Pilate heard that, he asked, “Is this man from Galilee [district]?”
| پیلاتُس پرسید: «مگر او اهل جلیل است؟» |
7 When they told him that Jesus was [from Galilee, which was the district] that Herod [Antipas] ruled, [he told them] to take Jesus to Herod [Antipas], because Herod was in Jerusalem at that time.
| وقتی از این امر اطمینان حاصل کرد، دستور داد او را نزد هیرودیس ببرند، زیرا ایالت جلیل جزو قلمرو حکومت هیرودیس بود. اتفاقاً هیرودیس در آن روزها، به مناسبت عید، در اورشلیم به سر می‌برد. |
8 [So they did]. When Herod saw Jesus, he was very happy. He [had heard about Jesus], and he had been hoping for a long time that he could see Jesus perform a miracle.
| هیرودیس از دیدن عیسی بسیار شاد شد، چون درباره او خیلی چیزها شنیده بود و امیدوار بود که با چشم خود یکی از معجزات او را ببیند. |
9 So he asked Jesus many questions, but Jesus did not reply [to any of them].
| او سؤالات گوناگونی از عیسی کرد، اما هیچ جوابی نشنید. |
10 The chief priests and men who taught the [Jewish] laws stood near Jesus, accusing him very strongly.
| در این میان، کاهنان اعظم و دیگر علمای دین حاضر شدند و عیسی را به باد تهمت گرفتند. |
11 Then Herod and his soldiers (made fun of/ridiculed) [Jesus]. They put gorgeous clothes on him [to mock him as being a king]. Then Herod sent him back to Pilate.
| هیرودیس و سربازانش نیز او را مسخره کرده، مورد اهانت قرار دادند، و ردایی شاهانه به او پوشاندند و نزد پیلاتُس باز فرستادند. |
12 Until that time Herod and Pilate had been very hostile to each other, but that very day they became friends.
| همان روز پیلاتُس و هیرودیس، دشمنی خود را کنار گذاشته، با یکدیگر صلح کردند. |
13 Pilate then gathered together the chief priests and other [Jewish] leaders and the crowd [that was still there].
| آنگاه پیلاتُس، کاهنان اعظم و سران یهود و مردم را فرا خواند |
14 He said to them, “You brought this man to me, saying that he had caused trouble among the people. But [I want you to know that] after having examined him while you were listening, I do not conclude that he is guilty of any of the things that you are accusing him about.
| و به ایشان گفت: «شما این مرد را به اتهام شورش به ضد حکومت روم نزد من آوردید. من در حضور خودتان از او بازجویی کردم و متوجه شدم که اتهامات شما علیه او بی‌اساس است. |
15 [Obviously] Herod did not [conclude that] either, because he sent him back to me [without punishing him]. [So it] is clear that this man has not done anything for which we [(inc)] should kill him.
| هیرودیس نیز به همین نتیجه رسید و به همین علّت او را نزد ما پس فرستاد. این مرد کاری نکرده است که مجازاتش اعدام باشد. |
16 So I will [have my soldiers] flog him and then release him.”
| بنابراین، فقط دستور می‌دهم شلّاقش بزنند، و بعد آزادش می‌کنم.» |
| (طبق رسم، در هر عید پِسَح یک زندانی آزاد می‌شد.) |
18 But the whole crowd shouted, “Execute this man! Release Barrabas for us [(exc)]!”
| اما مردم یکصدا فریاد برآوردند: «اعدامش کن و باراباس را برای ما آزاد کن!» |
19 Barrabas was a man who had tried to persuade people in the city to rebel [against the Roman government. While doing that], he had murdered [someone]. So he had been put {they had put him} in prison, [where he was waiting to be executed].
| (باراباس به جرم شورش و قتل در اورشلیم، زندانی شده بود.) |
20 Because Pilate wanted to release Jesus, he tried to persuade the crowd again.
| پیلاتُس بار دیگر با مردم سخن گفت، چون می‌خواست عیسی را آزاد کند. |
21 But they kept shouting, “[Command your soldiers to] kill him by nailing him to a cross!/Have him crucified!”
| اما ایشان بلندتر فریاد زدند: «مصلوبش کن! مصلوبش کن!» |
22 He [spoke to them] a third time and asked them, “Why? What crime has he committed? I have concluded that he has done nothing for which he deserves to die. So I will [have my soldiers] flog him and then release him.”
| باز برای بار سوم پیلاتُس گفت: «چرا؟ مگر او چه گناهی کرده است؟ من دلیلی ندارم که به مرگ محکومش کنم. دستور می‌دهم شلّاقش بزنند و آزادش می‌کنم.» |
23 But they kept insisting. They shouted loudly that [Jesus] should be nailed {that [Pilate] should [have his soldiers] nail [Jesus]} to a cross. Finally, because they continued to shout [PRS] [so loudly],
| اما مردم با صدای بلند فریاد می‌زدند و با اصرار می‌خواستند که او مصلوب شود؛ و سرانجام فریادهای ایشان غالب آمد، |
24 Pilate decided to do what the crowd requested.
| و پیلاتُس به درخواست ایشان، حکم اعدام عیسی را صادر کرد. |
25 The man who had been {whom they had} put in prison because he had rebelled [against the government] and who had murdered [someone], he released! That was the man whom the crowd had asked him [to release]. He handed Jesus over [to the soldiers], to do what [the crowd] wanted.
| سپس، باراباس را که به علّت شورش و خونریزی در حبس بود، آزاد کرد و عیسی را تحویل داد تا هرگونه می‌خواهند با او رفتار کنند. |
26 As the soldiers were taking [Jesus] away, they seized a man named Simon, [who was] from Cyrene [city in Africa]. He was returning [to Jerusalem] from out in the countryside. They [took from Jesus the cross that he had been carrying. Then] they put it on Simon’s shoulders, and [told him to] carry it behind Jesus.
| سربازان رومی عیسی را بردند. هنگامی که می‌رفتند، مردی به نام شمعون قیروانی را که از مزرعه به شهر بازمی‌گشت، گرفتند و صلیب را بر دوش او گذاشته، وادارش کردند آن را پشت سر عیسی ببرد. |
27 A large crowd followed Jesus. The crowd included many women who were beating their breasts [to show how sad they were], and wailing for him.
| جمعیتی انبوه در پی او به راه افتادند و زنان بسیاری نیز در میان آنان برای او گریه و ماتم می‌کردند و به سینه خود می‌زدند. |
28 But Jesus turned to them and said, “You women of Jerusalem, do not cry for me! Instead, cry because of [what is going to happen to] yourselves and your children!
| عیسی رو به این زنان کرد و گفت: «ای دختران اورشلیم، برای من گریه نکنید؛ به حال خود و فرزندانتان گریه کنید! |
29 I want you to know that there will soon be a time when people will say, ‘Women [SYN] who have never borne children or nursed babies are fortunate!’
| چون روزهایی می‌آید که مردم خواهند گفت:”خوشا به حال زنان بی‌اولاد و رَحِمهایی که هرگز نزاییده‌اند و سینه‌هایی که هرگز شیر نداده‌اند!“ |
30 Then, [in order that they will not have to suffer greatly when their enemies destroy this city], people who are left in the city will say to the mountains, ‘Fall down on us!’ And people will say to the hills, ‘Cover us!’
| و به کوهها التماس خواهند کرد که،”بر ما بیفتید“و به تپه‌ها که”ما را بپوشانید“. |
31 [I am innocent] [MET]. [I am like] a living tree [that people do not try to burn. But the people of Jerusalem deserve that their enemies punish them. They are like] dry wood that is ready to [burn]. So if they [nail me to the cross], ([their enemies] will certainly do much worse things to them!/what worse things will happen to them?) [RHQ]”
| زیرا اگر چنین چیزهایی وقتی درخت سبز است، به انجام برسد، پس آن هنگام که درخت خشک باشد، چه رخ خواهد داد؟» |
32 Two other men who were criminals were also being led away {[The soldiers] also led away two other men who were criminals}. They were going to be executed {[The soldiers] were going to execute them} [with Jesus].
| دو جنایتکار را نیز بردند تا با او اعدام کنند. |
33 When they came to the place which is called ‘The Skull’, they nailed [Jesus] to a cross [after removing his clothes]. They did the same thing to the two criminals. They crucified one at the right [side of Jesus] and one at his left [side].
| وقتی به محلی رسیدند به نام جمجمه، او را در آنجا به‌همراه آن دو جنایتکار به صلیب میخکوب کردند، یکی را در سَمت راست او، و دیگری را در سمت چپ. |
34 Jesus prayed, “[My] Father, forgive them, because they do not realize [whom] they are doing [this to]!” Then [the soldiers] divided Jesus’ clothing by gambling with something like dice, [to decide which piece of clothing each one would get].
| در چنین وضعی، عیسی فرمود: «ای پدر، اینها را ببخش، زیرا که نمی‌دانند چه می‌کنند.» سربازان رومی لباسهای عیسی را به حکم قرعه میان خود تقسیم کردند. |
35 Many people stood nearby, watching. And the [Jewish] leaders (made fun of/ridiculed) [Jesus], saying, “He [said] [IRO] [that he] saved other people! If he is the Messiah, the one God has chosen, he should save himself!”
| مردم ایستاده بودند و تماشا می‌کردند. سران قوم نیز ایستاده، به او می‌خندیدند و مسخره‌کنان می‌گفتند: «دیگران را نجات می‌داد؛ حال اگر واقعاً مسیح و برگزیده خداست، خود را نجات دهد!» |
36 The soldiers also ridiculed him because he [claimed to be a king]. They came up to him and offered him some sour wine.
| سربازان نیز او را مسخره نموده، شراب ترشیده خود را به او تعارف می‌کردند، |
37 They said to him, “If you [(sg)] are the King of the Jews, save yourself!”
| و می‌گفتند: «اگر تو پادشاه یهود هستی، خود را نجات بده!» |
38 [They] also [fastened on the cross] a sign [that stated] why [they] were nailing him to the cross. [But all it said was], ‘This is the King of the Jews’.
| روی صلیب، بالای سر او، تخته‌ای کوبیدند که روی آن نوشته شده بود: «این است پادشاه یهود!» |
39 One of the criminals who was hanging [on a cross] began to insult Jesus, saying, “You [(sg) said that you] are the Messiah, so [you must be powerful]! So save yourself, and save us, too!”
| یکی از آن دو جنایتکار که در کنار عیسی مصلوب شده بود، به طعنه به او گفت: «اگر تو مسیح هستی، چرا خودت و ما را نجات نمی‌دهی؟» |
40 But the other [criminal] rebuked him, saying, “(You [(sg)] should be afraid of God [punishing you]!/Are you not afraid of God [punishing you]?) [RHQ] They are punishing him [and us] similarly.
| اما آن مجرم دیگر او را سرزنش کرد و گفت: «حتی الان هم که محکوم به مرگ شده‌ای، از خدا نمی‌ترسی؟ |
41 They have justly decided that we [(inc) two] must die. They are punishing us as we deserve [for the evil things that we did]. But this man has done nothing wrong!”
| این حق ما است که بمیریم، چون گناهکاریم. اما از این شخص، یک خطا هم سر نزده است.» |
42 Then he said, “Jesus, [please] remember me [and take care of me] when you become king!”
| سپس رو به عیسی کرد و گفت: «ای عیسی، وقتی ملکوت خود را آغاز کردی، مرا هم به یاد آور!» |
43 Jesus replied, “I want you [(sg)] to know that today you [(sg)] will be with me in the place where everyone is happy!” (OR, that today you will be with me in Paradise!)
| عیسی جواب داد: «خاطرجمع باش که تو همین امروز با من در بهشت خواهی بود!» |
44 [Then it] was about noontime. It became dark over the whole land, [and it stayed dark] until three o’clock in the afternoon.
| به هنگام ظهر، تاریکی تمام آن سرزمین را فراگرفت، |
45 There was no light from the sun. Then the [thick] curtain [that closed off the most holy place] in the Temple split into two pieces. [That signified that ordinary people could now go into the presence of God].
| و نور خورشید از تابیدن بازایستاد. آنگاه پرده ضخیمی که در جایگاه مقدّس معبد آویزان بود، از وسط دو پاره شد. |
46 [As that happened], Jesus shouted loudly, “Father, I put my spirit into your care [MTY]!” When he said that, he [EUP] died.
| سپس عیسی با صدایی بلند گفت: «ای پدر، روح خود را به دستهای تو می‌سپارم.» این را گفت و جان سپرد. |
47 When the officer [who supervised the soldiers who were executing Jesus] saw what happened, he praised God [for the way Jesus died], saying, “[I am] sure that this man had done nothing wrong!”
| افسر رومی که مأمور اجرای حکم بود، وقتی این صحنه را دید خدا را ستایش کرد و گفت: «این مرد حقیقتاً بی‌گناه بود!» |
48 When the crowd of people who had gathered to see those events saw what happened, they returned [to their homes], beating their chests [to show that they were sorrowful].
| کسانی که برای تماشا گرد آمده بودند، وقتی این اتفاقات را دیدند، اندوهگین و سینه‌زنان، به خانه‌های خود بازگشتند. |
49 All of Jesus’ friends, including the women who had come with him from Galilee [district], stood at a distance and saw everything that happened.
| در این میان، دوستان عیسی و زنانی که از جلیل به دنبال او آمده بودند، دورتر ایستاده، نگاه می‌کردند. |
50 There was a man named Joseph who [came there]. He was from the town of Arimathea in Judea. He was a good and a righteous man, and he was a member of the [Jewish] Council.
| در این میان، شخصی بود نیک و باتقوا به نام یوسف، از اعضای شورای عالی یهود، |
51 But he had not agreed with the other Council [members] when they decided [to kill Jesus] and when they [planned how to] do it. He was waiting expectantly for [the time when] God [would send] his king to begin to rule.
| اما با تصمیم و اقدام ایشان موافقت نکرده بود. او که زادگاهش شهر رامه، واقع در یهودیه بود، مشتاقانه در انتظار فرارسیدن ملکوت خدا به سر می‌برد. |
52 He went to Pilate and asked [Pilate to permit him] to [take] Jesus’ body [and bury it. After Pilate allowed him to do that],
| او نزد پیلاتُس رفت و جسد عیسی را درخواست کرد. |
53 he [and some others] took [Jesus’ body] down [from the cross]. They wrapped it in a linen cloth. Then they put his body in a tomb that he had [hired others to] dig out of a rock [cliff]. No one had ever put a body in it before.
| پس از کسب اجازه، جسد عیسی را از بالای صلیب پایین آورد، آن را در کفن پیچید و در مقبره‌ای تراشیده شده در دل صخره که قبلاً کسی در آن گذاشته نشده بود، قرار داد. |
54 [They had to do it quickly because] that was [Friday], the day when [people] prepared [things for the Jewish day of rest]. (The Sabbath/The day of rest) was about to start [at sunset, so they had to finish burying Jesus’ body before sunset].
| تمام کار کفن و دفن، همان عصر جمعه انجام شد. یهودیان کارهای روز تعطیل شَبّات را عصر روز جمعه تدارک می‌دیدند. |
55 The women who had come with [Jesus] from Galilee [district] followed [Joseph and the men who were with him]. They saw the tomb, and they saw how the men laid [Jesus’] body [inside it, and saw the men roll a huge stone across the entrance].
| زنانی که از جلیل به دنبال عیسی آمده بودند، همراه یوسف رفتند و محل مقبره را دیدند و مشاهده کردند که جسد عیسی چگونه در آن گذاشته شد. |
56 Then the women returned to the houses [where they were staying. That evening] they prepared spices and ointments to put [on Jesus’ body], but (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day) they rested, according to what [Moses] had commanded.
| سپس به خانه بازگشتند و دارو و عطریات تهیه کردند که به رسم آن زمان، به جسد بمالند تا زود فاسد نشود. اما وقتی دارو آماده شد، دیگر روز شَبّات فرا رسیده بود. پس مطابق قانون مذهبی یهود، در آن روز به استراحت پرداختند. |
