< John 11 >

1 Now a certain [man] was sick, [named] Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.
وَمَرِضَ إِنْسَانٌ اسْمُهُ لِعَازَرُ، وَهُوَ مِنْ بَيْتَ عَنْيَا قَرْيَةِ مَرْيَمَ وَمَرْثَا أُخْتِهَا.١
2 (It was [that] Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)
وَمَرْيَمُ هذِهِ هِيَ الَّتِي دَهَنَتِ الرَّبَّ بِالْعِطْرِ وَمَسَحَتْ قَدَمَيْهِ بِشَعْرِهَا وَكَانَ لِعَازَرُ الْمَرِيضُ أَخَاهَا.٢
3 Therefore his sisters sent to him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.
فَأَرْسَلَتِ الأُخْتَانِ إِلَى يَسُوعَ تَقُولانِ: «يَا سَيِّدُ، إِنَّ الَّذِي تُحِبُّهُ مَرِيضٌ».٣
4 When Jesus heard [that], he said, This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified by it.
فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ بِذلِكَ قَالَ: «لَنْ يَنْتَهِيَ هَذَا الْمَرَضُ بِالْمَوْتِ، بَلْ سَيُؤَدِّي إِلَى تَمْجِيدِ اللهِ، إِذْ بِهِ سَيَتَمَجَّدُ ابْنُ اللهِ».٤
5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
وَمَعَ أَنَّ يَسُوعَ كَانَ يُحِبُّ مَرْثَا وَأُخْتَهَا وَلِعَازَرَ،٥
6 When therefore he had heard that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was.
فَقَدْ مَكَثَ حَيْثُ كَانَ مُدَّةَ يَوْمَيْنِ بَعْدَ عِلْمِهِ بِمَرَضِ لِعَازَرَ.٦
7 Then after that he saith to [his] disciples, Let us ho into Judea again.
وَبَعْدَ ذلِكَ قَالَ لِتَلامِيذِهِ: «لِنَرْجِعْ إِلَى الْيَهُودِيَّةِ!»٧
8 [His] disciples say to him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?
فَقَالَ التَّلامِيذُ: «يَا مُعَلِّمُ، أَتَرْجِعُ إِلَى الْيَهُودِيَّةِ، وَمُنْذُ وَقْتٍ قَرِيبٍ أَرَادَ الْيَهُودُ أَنْ يَرْجُمُوكَ؟»٨
9 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walketh in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.
فَأَجَابَ يَسُوعُ: «أَلَيْسَتْ سَاعَاتُ النَّهَارِ اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ؟ فَالَّذِي يَمْشِي فِي النَّهَارِ لَا يَتَعَثَّرُ لأَنَّهُ يَرَى نُورَ هَذَا الْعَالَمِ.٩
10 But if a man walketh in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.
أَمَّا الَّذِي يَمْشِي فِي اللَّيْلِ فَإِنَّهُ يَتَعَثَّرُ، لأَنَّ النُّورَ لَيْسَ فِيهِ».١٠
11 These things he said: and after that he saith to them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go that I may awake him out of sleep.
ثُمَّ قَالَ يَسُوعُ: «لِعَازَرُ حَبِيبُنَا قَدْ رَقَدَ، وَلكِنِّي سَأَذْهَبُ لأُنْهِضَهُ».١١
12 Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleepeth he will do well.
فَقَالَ التَّلَامِيذُ: «يَا سَيِّدُ، إِنْ كَانَ قَدْ رَقَدَ، فَإِنَّهُ سَيَنْهَضُ مُعَافىً».١٢
13 Now Jesus spoke of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking rest in sleep.
وَكَانَ يَسُوعُ يَعْنِي مَوْتَ لِعَازَرَ؛ أَمَّا التَّلامِيذُ فَظَنُّوهُ يَعْنِي رُقَادَ النَّوْمِ.١٣
14 Then said Jesus to them plainly, Lazarus is dead.
عِنْدَئِذٍ قَالَ لَهُمْ صَرَاحَةً: «لِعَازَرُ قَدْ مَاتَ.١٤
15 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless, let us go to him.
وَلأَجْلِكُمْ أَنَا أَفْرَحُ بِأَنِّي لَمْ أَكُنْ هُنَاكَ، حَتَّى تُؤْمِنُوا. فَلْنَذْهَبْ إِلَيْهِ!»١٥
16 Then said Thomas, who is called Didymus, to his fellow-disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.
فَقَالَ تُومَا، الْمَعْرُوفُ بِالتَّوْأَمِ، لِلتَّلامِيذِ الآخَرِينَ: «لِنَذْهَبْ نَحْنُ أَيْضاً فَنُقْتَلَ مَعَهُ.» (أَيْ مَعَ يَسُوعَ).١٦
17 Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already.
وَعِنْدَمَا وَصَلَ يَسُوعُ إِلَى بَيْتَ عَنْيَا كَانَ لِعَازَرُ قَدْ دُفِنَ مُنْذُ أَرْبَعَةِ أَيَّامٍ.١٧
18 (Now Bethany was nigh to Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs distant.)
وَكَانَتْ بَيْتُ عَنْيَا لَا تَبْعُدُ عَنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ إِلّا حَوَالَيْ خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ غَلْوَةً (ثَلاثَةَ كِيلُومِتْرَاتٍ).١٨
19 And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.
وَكَانَ كَثِيرُونَ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ قَدْ تَوَافَدُوا إِلَى مَرْثَا وَمَرْيَمَ يُعَزُّونَهُمَا عَنْ أَخِيهِمَا.١٩
20 Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat in the house.
فَلَمَّا عَرَفَتْ مَرْثَا أَنَّ يَسُوعَ قَادِمٌ خَرَجَتْ لِلِقَائِهِ، وَبَقِيَتْ مَرْيَمُ جَالِسَةً فِي الْبَيْتِ.٢٠
21 Then said Martha to Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
وَقَالَتْ مَرْثَا لِيَسُوعَ: «يَا سَيِّدُ، لَوْ كُنْتَ هُنَا، لَمَا مَاتَ أَخِي.٢١
22 But I know that even now, whatever thou wilt ask of God, God will give [it] thee.
فَأَنَا وَاثِقَةٌ تَمَاماً بِأَنَّ اللهَ يُعْطِيكَ كُلَّ مَا تَطْلُبُ مِنْهُ».٢٢
23 Jesus saith to her, Thy brother shall rise again.
فَأَجَابَ يَسُوعُ: «سَيَقُومُ أَخُوكِ».٢٣
24 Martha saith to him, I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.
قَالَتْ مَرْثَا: «أَعْرِفُ أَنَّهُ سَيَقُومُ فِي الْقِيَامَةِ، فِي الْيَوْمِ الأَخِيرِ!»٢٤
25 Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
فَرَدَّ يَسُوعُ: «أَنَا هُوَ الْقِيَامَةُ وَالْحَيَاةُ. مَنْ آمَنَ بِي، وَإِنْ مَاتَ فَسَيَحْيَا.٢٥
26 And whoever liveth, and believeth in me, shall never die. Believest thou this? (aiōn g165)
وَمَنْ كَانَ حَيًّا وَآمَنَ بِي فَلَنْ يَمُوتَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. أَتُؤُمِنِينَ بِهَذَا؟» (aiōn g165)٢٦
27 She saith to him, Yes, Lord, I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world.
أَجَابَتْهُ: «نَعَمْ يَا سَيِّدُ. أَنَا قَدْ آمَنْتُ أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْمَسِيحُ ابْنُ اللهِ الَّذِي جَاءَ إِلَى الْعَالَمِ!»٢٧
28 And when she had so said, she went and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee.
قَالَتْ هَذَا، وَذَهَبَتْ تَدْعُو أُخْتَهَا مَرْيَمَ، فَقَالَتْ لَهَا سِرّاً: «الْمُعَلِّمُ هُنَا، وَهُوَ يَطْلُبُكِ!»٢٨
29 As soon as she heard [that], she arose quickly, and came to him.
فَلَمَّا سَمِعَتْ مَرْيَمُ هَبَّتْ وَاقِفَةً، وَأَسْرَعَتْ إِلَى يَسُوعَ.٢٩
30 Now Jesus had not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met him.
وَلَمْ يَكُنْ قَدْ وَصَلَ بَعْدُ إِلَى الْقَرْيَةِ، بَلْ مَازَالَ فِي الْمَكَانِ الَّذِي لاقَتْهُ فِيهِ مَرْثَا.٣٠
31 The Jews then who were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary that she rose hastily, and went out, followed her, saying, She goeth to the grave to weep there.
فَلَمَّا رَآهَا الْيَهُودُ، الَّذِينَ كَانُوا مَعَهَا فِي الْبَيْتِ يُعَزُّونَهَا، تَهِبُّ وَاقِفَةً وَتُسْرِعُ بِالْخُرُوجِ، لَحِقُوا بِها، لأَنَّهُمْ ظَنُّوا أَنَّهَا ذَاهِبَةٌ لِتَبْكِيَ عِنْدَ الْقَبْرِ.٣١
32 Then when Mary had come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying to him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
وَمَا إِنْ وَصَلَتْ مَرْيَمُ إِلَى حَيْثُ كَانَ يَسُوعُ وَرَأَتْهُ، حَتَّى ارْتَمَتْ عَلَى قَدَمَيْهِ تَقُولُ: «يَا سَيِّدُ، لَوْ كُنْتَ هُنَا، لَمَا مَاتَ أَخِي!»٣٢
33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping who came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled;
فَلَمَّا رَآهَا يَسُوعُ تَبْكِي وَيَبْكِي مَعَهَا الْيَهُودُ الَّذِينَ رَافَقُوهَا، فَاضَ قَلْبُهُ بِالأَسَى الشَّدِيدِ،٣٣
34 And said, Where have ye laid him? They say to him, Lord, come and see.
وَسَأَلَ: «أَيْنَ دَفَنْتُمُوهُ؟» فَأَجَابُوا: «تَعَالَ، يَا سَيِّدُ، وَانْظُرْ!»٣٤
35 Jesus wept.
عِنْدَئِذٍ بَكَى يَسُوعُ.٣٥
36 Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!
فَقَالَ الْيَهُودُ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ: «انْظُرُوا كَمْ كَانَ يُحِبُّهُ!»٣٦
37 And some of them said, Could not this man, who opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?
وَتَسَاءَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ: «أَلَمْ يَقْدِرْ هَذَا الَّذِي فَتَحَ عَيْنَيِ الأَعْمَى أَنْ يَرُدَّ الْمَوْتَ عَنْ لِعَازَرَ؟»٣٧
38 Jesus therefore again groaning in himself, cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.
فَفَاضَ قَلْبُ يَسُوعَ بِالأَسَى الشَّدِيدِ مَرَّةً ثَانِيَةً. ثُمَّ اقْتَرَبَ إِلَى الْقَبْرِ، وَكَانَ كَهْفاً عَلَى بَابِهِ حَجَرٌ كَبِيرٌ.٣٨
39 Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith to him, Lord, by this time his body is offensive: for he hath been [dead] four days.
وَقَالَ: «ارْفَعُوا الْحَجَرَ!» فَقَالَتْ مَرْثَا: «يَا سَيِّدُ، هَذَا يَوْمُهُ الرَّابِعُ، وَقَدْ أَنْتَنَ».٣٩
40 Jesus saith to her, Said I not to thee, that if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?
فَقَالَ يَسُوعُ: «أَلَمْ أَقُلْ لَكِ: إِنْ آمَنْتِ تَرَيْ مَجْدَ اللهِ؟»٤٠
41 Then they took away the stone [from the place] where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up [his] eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me:
فَرَفَعُوا الْحَجَرَ، وَرَفَعَ يَسُوعُ عَيْنَيْهِ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَقَالَ: «أَيُّهَا الآبُ، أَشْكُرُكَ لأَنَّكَ سَمِعْتَ لِي،٤١
42 And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people who stand by, I said [it], that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
وَقَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّكَ دَوْماً تَسْمَعُ لِي. وَلكِنِّي قُلْتُ هَذَا لأَجْلِ الْجَمْعِ الْوَاقِفِ حَوْلِي لِيُؤْمِنُوا أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ أَرْسَلْتَنِي».٤٢
43 And when he had thus spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
ثُمَّ نَادَى بَصَوْتٍ عَالٍ: «لِعَازَرُ اخْرُجْ!»٤٣
44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with grave-clothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith to them, Loose him, and let him go.
فَخَرَجَ الْمَيْتُ وَالأَكْفَانُ تَشُدُّ يَدَيْهِ وَرِجْلَيْهِ، وَالْمِنْدِيلُ يَلُفُّ رَأْسَهُ. فَقَالَ يَسُوعُ لِمَنْ حَوْلَهُ: «حُلُّوهُ وَدَعُوهُ يَذْهَبْ!»٤٤
45 Then many of the Jews who came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him.
وَآمَنَ بِيَسُوعَ كَثِيرُونَ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ الَّذِينَ جَاءُوا لِيُعَزُّوا مَرْيَمَ، عِنْدَمَا رَأَوْهُ يَعْمَلُ ذلِكَ.٤٥
46 But some of them went to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done.
عَلَى أَنَّ جَمَاعَةً مِنْهُمْ ذَهَبُوا إِلَى الْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ وَأَخْبَرُوهُمْ بِمَا عَمِلَهُ يَسُوعُ.٤٦
47 Then the chief priests and the Pharisees convened a council, and said, What do we? for this man performeth many miracles.
فَعَقَدَ رُؤَسَاءُ الْكَهَنَةِ وَالْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ مَجْلِساً، وَقَالُوا: «مَاذَا نَفْعَلُ؟ هَذَا الرَّجُلُ يَعْمَلُ آيَاتٍ كَثِيرَةً.٤٧
48 If we let him thus alone, all [men] will believe on him: and the Romans will come, and take away both our place and nation.
فَإِذَا تَرَكْنَاهُ وَشَأْنَهُ يُؤْمِنُ بِهِ الْجَمِيعُ، فَيَأْتِي الرُّومَانِيُّونَ وَيُدَمِّرُونَ هَيْكَلَنَا الْمُقَدَّسَ وَأُمَّتَنَا!»٤٨
49 And one of them, [named] Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said to them, Ye know nothing at all,
فَقَالَ وَاحِدٌ مِنْهُمْ، وَهُوَ قَيَافَا الَّذِي كَانَ رَئِيساً لِلْكَهَنَةِ فِي تِلْكَ السَّنَةِ: «إِنَّكُمْ لَا تَعْرِفُونَ شَيْئاً!٤٩
50 Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.
أَلا تَفْهَمُونَ أَنَّهُ مِنَ الأَفْضَلِ أَنْ يَمُوتَ رَجُلٌ وَاحِدٌ فِدَى الأُمَّةِ، بَدَلاً مِنْ أَنْ تَهْلِكَ الأُمَّةُ كُلُّهَا».٥٠
51 And this he spoke not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;
وَلَمْ يَقُلْ قَيَافَا هَذَا الْكَلامَ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ، وَلكِنْ إِذْ كَانَ رَئِيساً لِلْكَهَنَةِ فِي تِلْكَ السَّنَةِ تَنَبَّأَ أَنَّ يَسُوعَ سَيَمُوتُ فِدَى الأُمَّةِ،٥١
52 And not for that nation only, but that also he should assemble in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.
وَلَيْسَ فِدَى الأُمَّةِ وَحَسْبُ، بَلْ أَيْضاً لِيَجْمَعَ أَبْنَاءَ اللهِ الْمُشَتَّتِينَ وَيَجْعَلَهُمْ وَاحِداً.٥٢
53 Then from that day forth they took counsel together to put him to death.
مِنْ ذلِكَ الْيَوْمِ قَرَّرَ الْيَهُودُ أَنْ يَقْتُلُوا يَسُوعَ.٥٣
54 Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews; but went thence to a country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples.
فَلَمْ يَعُدْ يَتَجَوَّلُ بَيْنَهُمْ جَهَاراً، بَلْ ذَهَبَ إِلَى مَدِينَةٍ اسْمُهَا أَفْرَايِمُ، تَقَعُ فِي بُقْعَةٍ قَرِيبَةٍ مِنَ الْبَرِّيَّةِ، حَيْثُ أَقَامَ مَعَ تَلامِيذِهِ.٥٤
55 And the Jews' passover was nigh at hand: and many went out of the country to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify themselves.
وَكَانَ عِيدُ الْفِصْحِ الْيَهُودِيُّ قَدِ اقْتَرَبَ، فَتَوَافَدَ كَثِيرُونَ مِنَ الْقُرَى إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ لِيَقُومُوا بِطُقُوسِ التَّطَهُّرِ السَّابِقَةِ لِلْعِيدِ.٥٥
56 Then they sought for Jesus, and spoke among themselves, as they stood in the temple, What think ye, that he will not come to the feast?
وَكَانُوا يَبْحَثُونَ عَنْ يَسُوعَ، وَيَتَسَاءَلُونَ وَهُمْ مُجْتَمِعُونَ فِي الْهَيْكَلِ: «مَا رَأْيُكُمْ؟ أَلَعَلَّهُ لَا يَأْتِي إِلَى الْعِيدِ؟»٥٦
57 Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment, that, if any man knew where he was, he should show [it], that they might take him.
وَكَانَ رُؤَسَاءُ الْكَهَنَةِ وَالْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ قَدْ أَصْدَرُوا أَمْراً بِأَنَّ كُلِّ مَنْ يَجِدُ يَسُوعَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يُبَلِّغَ عَنْهُ لِيُلْقُوا الْقَبْضَ عَلَيْهِ.٥٧
