< John 19 >

1 Then Pilate took Jesus and scourged Him.
ܗܝܕܝܢ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܢܓܕܗ ܠܝܫܘܥ
2 And the soldiers, twisting twigs of thorn into a wreath, put it on His head, and threw round Him a crimson cloak.
ܘܐܤܛܪܛܝܘܛܐ ܓܕܠܘ ܟܠܝܠܐ ܡܢ ܟܘܒܐ ܘܤܡܘ ܠܗ ܒܪܫܗ ܘܟܤܝܘܗܝ ܢܚܬܐ ܕܐܪܓܘܢܐ
3 Then they began to march up to Him, saying in a mocking voice, "Hail King of the Jews!" And they struck Him with the palms of their hands.
ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܫܠܡ ܠܟ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܘܡܚܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܥܠ ܦܟܘܗܝ
4 Once more Pilate came out and said to the Jews, "See, I am bringing him out to you to let you clearly understand that I find no crime in him."
ܘܢܦܩ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܬܘܒ ܠܒܪ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܗܐ ܡܦܩ ܐܢܐ ܠܗ ܠܟܘܢ ܠܒܪ ܕܬܕܥܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܐܢܐ ܒܬܪܗ ܐܦܠܐ ܚܕܐ ܥܠܬܐ
5 So Jesus came out, wearing the wreath of thorns and the crimson cloak. And Pilate said to them, "See, there is the man."
ܘܢܦܩ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܒܪ ܟܕ ܐܝܬ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܟܠܝܠܐ ܕܟܘܒܐ ܘܢܚܬܐ ܕܐܪܓܘܢܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܗܐ ܓܒܪܐ
6 As soon then as the High Priests and the officers saw Him, they shouted "To the cross! To the cross!" "Take him yourselves and crucify him," said Pilate; "for I, at any rate, find no crime in him."
ܟܕ ܕܝܢ ܚܙܐܘܗܝ ܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܘܕܚܫܐ ܩܥܘ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܨܠܘܒܝܗܝ ܨܠܘܒܝܗܝ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܕܒܪܘ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܘܙܘܩܦܘܗܝ ܐܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܐܢܐ ܒܗ ܥܠܬܐ
7 "We," replied the Jews, "have a Law, and in accordance with that Law he ought to die, for having claimed to be the Son of God."
ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܠܢ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܢ ܘܐܝܟ ܕܒܢܡܘܤܢ ܚܝܒ ܗܘ ܡܘܬܐ ܕܥܒܕ ܢܦܫܗ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ
8 More alarmed than ever, Pilate no sooner heard these words than he re-entered the Praetorium and began to question Jesus.
ܟܕ ܫܡܥ ܕܝܢ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܗܕܐ ܡܠܬܐ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܕܚܠ
9 "What is your origin?" he asked. But Jesus gave him no answer.
ܘܥܠ ܬܘܒ ܠܦܪܛܘܪܝܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܐܝܡܟܐ ܐܢܬ ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܦܬܓܡܐ ܠܐ ܝܗܒ ܠܗ
10 "Do you refuse to speak even to me?" asked Pilate; "do you not know that I have it in my power either to release you or to crucify you?"
ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܥܡܝ ܠܐ ܡܡܠܠ ܐܢܬ ܠܐ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܬ ܕܫܠܝܛ ܐܢܐ ܕܐܫܪܝܟ ܘܫܠܝܛ ܐܢܐ ܕܐܙܩܦܟ
11 "You would have had no power whatever over me," replied Jesus, "had it not been granted you from above. On that account he who has delivered me up to you is more guilty than you are."
ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܟ ܥܠܝ ܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܐܦ ܠܐ ܚܕ ܐܠܘ ܠܐ ܝܗܝܒ ܗܘܐ ܠܟ ܡܢ ܠܥܠ ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܗܘ ܡܢ ܕܐܫܠܡܢܝ ܠܟ ܪܒܐ ܗܝ ܚܛܝܬܗ ܡܢ ܕܝܠܟ
12 Upon receiving this answer, Pilate was for releasing Him. But the Jews kept shouting, "If you release this man, you are no friend of Caesar's. Every one who sets himself up as king declares himself a rebel against Caesar."
ܘܡܛܠ ܗܕܐ ܨܒܐ ܗܘܐ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܕܢܫܪܝܘܗܝ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܕܝܢ ܩܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܐܢ ܠܗܢܐ ܫܪܐ ܐܢܬ ܠܐ ܗܘܝܬ ܪܚܡܗ ܕܩܤܪ ܟܠ ܡܢ ܓܝܪ ܕܢܦܫܗ ܡܠܟܐ ܥܒܕ ܤܩܘܒܠܐ ܗܘ ܕܩܤܪ
13 On hearing this, Pilate brought Jesus out, and sat down on the judge's seat in a place called the Pavement--or in Hebrew, Gabbatha.
ܟܕ ܫܡܥ ܕܝܢ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܗܕܐ ܡܠܬܐ ܐܦܩܗ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܠܒܪ ܘܝܬܒ ܥܠ ܒܝܡ ܒܕܘܟܬܐ ܕܡܬܩܪܝܐ ܪܨܝܦܬܐ ܕܟܐܦܐ ܥܒܪܐܝܬ ܕܝܢ ܡܬܐܡܪܐ ܓܦܝܦܬܐ
14 It was the day of Preparation for the Passover, about six o'clock in the morning. Then he said to the Jews, "There is your king!"
ܘܥܪܘܒܬܐ ܗܘܬ ܕܦܨܚܐ ܘܐܝܬ ܗܘܝ ܐܝܟ ܫܥܐ ܫܬ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܗܐ ܡܠܟܟܘܢ
15 This caused a storm of outcries, "Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him!" "Am I to crucify your king?" Pilate asked. "We have no king, except Caesar," answered the High Priests.
ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܩܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܫܩܘܠܝܗܝ ܫܩܘܠܝܗܝ ܨܠܘܒܝܗܝ ܨܠܘܒܝܗܝ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܠܡܠܟܟܘܢ ܐܙܩܘܦ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܠܝܬ ܠܢ ܡܠܟܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܩܤܪ
16 Then Pilate gave Him up to them to be crucified. Accordingly they took Jesus;
ܗܝܕܝܢ ܐܫܠܡܗ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܢܙܩܦܘܢܝܗܝ ܘܕܒܪܘܗܝ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܦܩܘܗܝ
17 and He went out carrying His own cross, to the place called Skull-place--or, in Hebrew, Golgotha--
ܟܕ ܫܩܝܠ ܙܩܝܦܗ ܠܕܘܟܬܐ ܕܡܬܩܪܝܐ ܩܪܩܦܬܐ ܥܒܪܐܝܬ ܕܝܢ ܡܬܐܡܪܐ ܓܓܘܠܬܐ
18 where they nailed Him to a cross, and two others at the same time, one on each side and Jesus in the middle.
ܐܬܪ ܕܙܩܦܘܗܝ ܘܥܡܗ ܬܪܝܢ ܐܚܪܢܝܢ ܚܕ ܡܟܐ ܘܚܕ ܡܟܐ ܘܠܝܫܘܥ ܒܡܨܥܬܐ
19 And Pilate wrote a notice and had it fastened to the top of the cross. It ran thus: JESUS THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
ܘܟܬܒ ܐܦ ܠܘܚܐ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܘܤܡ ܥܠ ܙܩܝܦܗ ܟܬܝܒ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܗܟܢܐ ܗܢܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܢܨܪܝܐ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܝܐ
20 Many of the Jews read this notice, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and the notice was in three languages--Hebrew, Latin, and Greek.
ܘܠܗܢܐ ܕܦܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܡܢ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܩܪܐܘܗܝ ܡܛܠ ܕܩܪܝܒܐ ܗܘܬ ܠܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܕܘܟܬܐ ܕܐܙܕܩܦ ܒܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܟܬܝܒܐ ܗܘܐ ܥܒܪܐܝܬ ܘܝܘܢܐܝܬ ܘܪܗܘܡܐܝܬ
21 This led the Jewish High Priests to remonstrate with Pilate. "You should not write 'The King of the Jews,'" they said, "but that he claimed to be King of the Jews."
ܘܐܡܪܘ ܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܠܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܠܐ ܬܟܬܘܒ ܕܡܠܟܐ ܗܘ ܕܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܐܠܐ ܕܗܘ ܐܡܪ ܕܡܠܟܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܝܐ
22 "What I have written I have written," was Pilate's answer.
ܐܡܪ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܡܕܡ ܕܟܬܒܬ ܟܬܒܬ
23 So the soldiers, as soon as they had crucified Jesus, took His garments, including His tunic, and divided them into four parts--one part for each soldier. The tunic was without seam, woven from the top in one piece.
ܐܤܛܪܛܝܘܛܐ ܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܙܩܦܘܗܝ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܫܩܠܘ ܢܚܬܘܗܝ ܘܥܒܕܘ ܠܐܪܒܥ ܡܢܘܢ ܡܢܬܐ ܠܚܕ ܡܢ ܐܤܛܪܛܝܘܛܐ ܟܘܬܝܢܗ ܕܝܢ ܐܝܬܝܗ ܗܘܬ ܕܠܐ ܚܝܛܐ ܡܢ ܠܥܠ ܙܩܝܪܬܐ ܟܠܗ
24 So they said to one another, "Do not let us tear it. Let us draw lots for it." This happened that the Scripture might be fulfilled which says, "They shared my garments among them, and drew lots for my clothing." That was just what the soldiers did.
ܘܐܡܪܘ ܚܕ ܠܚܕ ܠܐ ܢܤܕܩܝܗ ܐܠܐ ܢܦܤ ܥܠܝܗ ܡܦܤ ܕܡܢܘ ܬܗܘܐ ܘܫܠܡ ܟܬܒܐ ܕܐܡܪ ܕܦܠܓܘ ܢܚܬܝ ܒܝܢܬܗܘܢ ܘܥܠ ܠܒܘܫܝ ܐܪܡܝܘ ܦܤܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܥܒܕܘ ܐܤܛܪܛܝܘܛܐ
25 Now standing close to the cross of Jesus were His mother and His mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala.
ܩܝܡܢ ܗܘܝ ܕܝܢ ܠܘܬ ܙܩܝܦܗ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܐܡܗ ܘܚܬܗ ܕܐܡܗ ܘܡܪܝܡ ܗܝ ܕܩܠܝܘܦܐ ܘܡܪܝܡ ܡܓܕܠܝܬܐ
26 So Jesus, seeing His mother, and seeing the disciple whom He loved standing near, said to His mother, "Behold, your son!"
ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܚܙܐ ܠܐܡܗ ܘܠܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܗܘ ܕܪܚܡ ܗܘܐ ܕܩܐܡ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܐܡܗ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܗܐ ܒܪܟܝ
27 Then He said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother!" And from that time the disciple received her into his own home.
ܘܐܡܪ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܗܘ ܗܐ ܐܡܟ ܘܡܢ ܗܝ ܫܥܬܐ ܕܒܪܗ ܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܗܘ ܠܘܬܗ
28 After this, Jesus, knowing that everything was now brought to an end, said--that the Scripture might be fulfilled, "I am thirsty."
ܒܬܪ ܗܠܝܢ ܝܕܥ ܝܫܘܥ ܕܟܠܡܕܡ ܐܫܬܠܡ ܘܕܢܬܡܠܐ ܟܬܒܐ ܐܡܪ ܨܗܐ ܐܢܐ
29 There was a jar of wine standing there. With this wine they filled a sponge, put it on the end of a stalk of hyssop, and lifted it to His mouth.
ܘܡܐܢܐ ܤܝܡ ܗܘܐ ܕܡܠܐ ܚܠܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܠܘ ܐܤܦܘܓܐ ܡܢ ܚܠܐ ܘܤܡܘ ܥܠ ܙܘܦܐ ܘܩܪܒܘ ܠܘܬ ܦܘܡܗ
30 As soon as Jesus had taken the wine, He said, "It is finished." And then, bowing His head, He yielded up His spirit.
ܟܕ ܕܝܢ ܫܩܠ ܗܘ ܚܠܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܡܪ ܗܐ ܡܫܠܡ ܘܐܪܟܢ ܪܫܗ ܘܐܫܠܡ ܪܘܚܗ
31 Meanwhile the Jews, because it was the day of Preparation for the Passover, and in order that the bodies might not remain on the crosses during the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was one of special solemnity), requested Pilate to have the legs of the dying men broken, and the bodies removed.
ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܥܪܘܒܬܐ ܗܘܬ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܐ ܢܒܘܬܘܢ ܦܓܪܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܥܠ ܙܩܝܦܝܗܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܫܒܬܐ ܢܓܗܐ ܝܘܡܐ ܗܘܐ ܓܝܪ ܪܒܐ ܝܘܡܐ ܕܫܒܬܐ ܗܝ ܘܒܥܘ ܡܢ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܕܢܬܒܪܘܢ ܫܩܝܗܘܢ ܕܗܢܘܢ ܙܩܝܦܐ ܘܢܚܬܘܢ ܐܢܘܢ
32 Accordingly the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man and also of the other who had been crucified with Jesus.
ܘܐܬܘ ܐܤܛܪܛܝܘܛܐ ܘܬܒܪܘ ܫܩܘܗܝ ܕܩܕܡܝܐ ܘܕܗܘ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܕܐܙܕܩܦ ܥܡܗ
33 Then they came to Jesus Himself: but when they saw that He was already dead, they refrained from breaking His legs.
ܘܟܕ ܐܬܘ ܠܘܬ ܝܫܘܥ ܚܙܘ ܕܡܝܬ ܠܗ ܡܢ ܟܕܘ ܘܠܐ ܬܒܪܘ ܫܩܘܗܝ
34 One of the soldiers, however, made a thrust at His side with a lance, and immediately blood and water flowed out.
ܐܠܐ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܐܤܛܪܛܝܘܛܐ ܡܚܝܗܝ ܒܕܦܢܗ ܒܠܘܟܝܬܐ ܘܡܚܕܐ ܢܦܩ ܕܡܐ ܘܡܝܐ
35 This statement is the testimony of an eye-witness, and it is true. He knows that he is telling the truth--in order that you also may believe.
ܘܡܢ ܕܚܙܐ ܐܤܗܕ ܘܫܪܝܪܐ ܗܝ ܤܗܕܘܬܗ ܘܗܘ ܝܕܥ ܕܫܪܪܐ ܐܡܪ ܕܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܬܗܝܡܢܘܢ
36 For all this took place that the Scripture might be fulfilled which declares, "Not one of His bones shall be broken."
ܗܠܝܢ ܓܝܪ ܗܘܝ ܕܢܬܡܠܐ ܟܬܒܐ ܕܐܡܪ ܕܓܪܡܐ ܠܐ ܢܬܬܒܪ ܒܗ
37 And again another Scripture says, "They shall look on Him whom they have pierced."
ܘܬܘܒ ܟܬܒܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܕܐܡܪ ܕܢܚܘܪܘܢ ܒܡܢ ܕܕܩܪܘ
38 After this, Joseph of Arimathaea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but for fear of the Jews a secret disciple, asked Pilate's permission to carry away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave him leave. So he came and removed the body.
ܒܬܪ ܗܠܝܢ ܝܘܤܦ ܗܘ ܕܡܢ ܪܡܬܐ ܒܥܐ ܡܢ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܡܛܠ ܕܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܘܡܛܫܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܕܚܠܬܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܕܢܫܩܘܠ ܦܓܪܗ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܦܤ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܘܐܬܐ ܘܫܩܠ ܦܓܪܗ ܕܝܫܘܥ
39 Nicodemus too--he who at first had visited Jesus by night--came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, in weight about seventy or eighty pounds.
ܘܐܬܐ ܐܦ ܢܝܩܕܡܘܤ ܗܘ ܕܐܬܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܩܕܝܡ ܠܘܬ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܠܠܝܐ ܘܐܝܬܝ ܥܡܗ ܚܘܢܛܬܐ ܕܡܘܪܐ ܘܕܥܠܘܝ ܐܝܟ ܡܐܐ ܠܝܛܪܝܢ
40 Taking down the body they wrapped it in linen cloths along with the spices, in accordance with the Jewish mode of preparing for burial.
ܘܫܩܠܘܗܝ ܠܦܓܪܗ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܘܟܪܟܘܗܝ ܒܟܬܢܐ ܘܒܒܤܡܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܥܝܕܐ ܠܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܕܢܩܒܪܘܢ
41 There was a garden at the place where Jesus had been crucified, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had yet been buried.
ܐܝܬ ܗܘܬ ܕܝܢ ܒܗܝ ܕܘܟܬܐ ܕܐܙܕܩܦ ܒܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܓܢܬܐ ܘܒܗ ܒܓܢܬܐ ܒܝܬ ܩܒܘܪܐ ܚܕܬܐ ܕܐܢܫ ܥܕܟܝܠ ܠܐ ܐܬܬܤܝܡ ܗܘܐ ܒܗ
42 Therefore, because it was the day of Preparation for the Jewish Passover, and the tomb was close at hand, they put Jesus there.
ܘܤܡܘܗܝ ܬܡܢ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܡܛܠ ܕܫܒܬܐ ܥܐܠܐ ܗܘܬ ܘܡܛܠ ܕܩܪܝܒ ܗܘܐ ܩܒܪܐ
