Mattheum 27
1 Mane autem facto, consilium inierunt omnes principes sacerdotum et seniores populi adversus Jesum, ut eum morti traderent.
Now when morning had come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:
2 Et vinctum adduxerunt eum, et tradiderunt Pontio Pilato præsidi.
and they bound him, and led him away, and delivered him to Pilate, the governor.
3 Tunc videns Judas, qui eum tradidit, quod damnatus esset, pœnitentia ductus, retulit triginta argenteos principibus sacerdotum, et senioribus,
Then Judas, who betrayed him, when he saw that Jesus was condemned, felt remorse, and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,
4 dicens: Peccavi, tradens sanguinem justum. At illi dixerunt: Quid ad nos? tu videris.
saying, "I have sinned in that I betrayed innocent blood." But they said, "What is that to us? You see to it."
5 Et projectis argenteis in templo, recessit: et abiens laqueo se suspendit.
He threw down the pieces of silver in the sanctuary, and departed. He went away and hanged himself.
6 Principes autem sacerdotum, acceptis argenteis, dixerunt: Non licet eos mittere in corbonam: quia pretium sanguinis est.
The chief priests took the pieces of silver, and said, "It's not lawful to put them into the treasury, since it is the price of blood."
7 Consilio autem inito, emerunt ex illis agrum figuli, in sepulturam peregrinorum.
They took counsel, and bought the potter's field with them, to bury strangers in.
8 Propter hoc vocatus est ager ille, Haceldama, hoc est, Ager sanguinis, usque in hodiernum diem.
Therefore that field was called "The Field of Blood" to this day.
9 Tunc impletum est quod dictum est per Jeremiam prophetam, dicentem: Et acceperunt triginta argenteos pretium appretiati, quem appretiaverunt a filiis Israël:
Then that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying, "They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him upon whom a price had been set, whom some of the children of Israel priced,
10 et dederunt eos in agrum figuli, sicut constituit mihi Dominus.
and they gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord commanded me."
11 Jesus autem stetit ante præsidem, et interrogavit eum præses, dicens: Tu es rex Judæorum? Dicit illi Jesus: Tu dicis.
Now Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, "Are you the King of the Jews?" Jesus said to him, "You say so."
12 Et cum accusaretur a principibus sacerdotum et senioribus, nihil respondit.
When he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.
13 Tunc dicit illi Pilatus: Non audis quanta adversum te dicunt testimonia?
Then Pilate said to him, "Do you not hear how many things they testify against you?"
14 Et non respondit ei ad ullum verbum, ita ut miraretur præses vehementer.
He gave him no answer, not even one word, so that the governor was greatly amazed.
15 Per diem autem solemnem consueverat præses populo dimittere unum vinctum, quem voluissent:
Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release to the crowd one prisoner, whom they desired.
16 habebat autem tunc vinctum insignem, qui dicebatur Barrabas.
They had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.
17 Congregatis ergo illis, dixit Pilatus: Quem vultis dimittam vobis: Barabbam, an Jesum, qui dicitur Christus?
When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, "Whom do you want me to release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus, who is called Christ?"
18 Sciebat enim quod per invidiam tradidissent eum.
For he knew that because of envy they had delivered him up.
19 Sedente autem illo pro tribunali, misit ad eum uxor ejus, dicens: Nihil tibi, et justo illi: multa enim passa sum hodie per visum propter eum.
While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, "Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him."
20 Principes autem sacerdotum et seniores persuaserunt populis ut peterent Barabbam, Jesum vero perderent.
Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.
21 Respondens autem præses, ait illis: Quem vultis vobis de duobus dimitti? At illi dixerunt: Barabbam.
But the governor answered them, "Which of the two do you want me to release to you?" They said, "Barabbas."
22 Dicit illis Pilatus: Quid igitur faciam de Jesu, qui dicitur Christus?
Pilate said to them, "What then should I do with Jesus, who is called Christ?" They all said, "Let him be crucified."
23 Dicunt omnes: Crucifigatur. Ait illis præses: Quid enim mali fecit? At illi magis clamabant dicentes: Crucifigatur.
But he said, "Why? What evil has he done?" But they shouted all the louder, saying, "Let him be crucified."
24 Videns autem Pilatus quia nihil proficeret, sed magis tumultus fieret: accepta aqua, lavit manus coram populo, dicens: Innocens ego sum a sanguine justi hujus: vos videritis.
So Pilate, seeing that nothing was being gained, but rather that a disturbance was starting, took water and he washed his hands before the crowd, saying, "I am innocent of the blood of this righteous man. You see to it."
25 Et respondens universus populus, dixit: Sanguis ejus super nos, et super filios nostros.
All the people answered, "May his blood be on us, and on our children."
26 Tunc dimisit illis Barabbam: Jesum autem flagellatum tradidit eis ut crucifigeretur.
Then he released to them Barabbas, but Jesus he flogged and delivered to be crucified.
27 Tunc milites præsidis suscipientes Jesum in prætorium, congregaverunt ad eum universam cohortem:
Then the governor's soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium, and gathered the whole garrison together against him.
28 et exuentes eum, chlamydem coccineam circumdederunt ei,
They stripped him, and put a scarlet robe on him.
29 et plectentes coronam de spinis, posuerunt super caput ejus, et arundinem in dextera ejus. Et genu flexo ante eum, illudebant ei, dicentes: Ave rex Judæorum.
They braided a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they kneeled down before him, and mocked him, saying, "Greetings, King of the Jews."
30 Et exspuentes in eum, acceperunt arundinem, et percutiebant caput ejus.
They spat on him, and took the reed and struck him on the head.
31 Et postquam illuserunt ei, exuerunt eum chlamyde, et induerunt eum vestimentis ejus, et duxerunt eum ut crucifigerent.
When they had mocked him, they took the robe off of him, and put his clothes on him, and led him away to crucify him.
32 Exeuntes autem invenerunt hominem Cyrenæum, nomine Simonem: hunc angariaverunt ut tolleret crucem ejus.
As they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name, and they compelled him to go with them, that he might carry his cross.
33 Et venerunt in locum qui dicitur Golgotha, quod est Calvariæ locus.
They came to a place called "Golgotha," that is to say, "The place of a skull."
34 Et dederunt ei vinum bibere cum felle mistum. Et cum gustasset, noluit bibere.
They gave him wine to drink mixed with gall. When he had tasted it, he would not drink.
35 Postquam autem crucifixerunt eum, diviserunt vestimenta ejus, sortem mittentes: ut impleretur quod dictum est per prophetam dicentem: Diviserunt sibi vestimenta mea, et super vestem meam miserunt sortem.
When they had crucified him, they divided his clothing among themselves, casting a lot, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet: 'They divided my clothes among themselves, and for my clothing they cast a lot.'
36 Et sedentes servabant eum.
And they sat and watched him there.
37 Et imposuerunt super caput ejus causam ipsius scriptam: Hic est Jesus rex Judæorum.
They set up over his head the accusation against him written, "THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS."
38 Tunc crucifixi sunt cum eo duo latrones: unus a dextris, et unus a sinistris.
Then there were two robbers crucified with him, one on his right hand and one on the left.
39 Prætereuntes autem blasphemabant eum moventes capita sua,
Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads,
40 et dicentes: Vah! qui destruis templum Dei, et in triduo illud reædificas: salva temetipsum: si Filius Dei es, descende de cruce.
and saying, "You who destroy the temple, and build it in three days, save yourself. If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross."
41 Similiter et principes sacerdotum illudentes cum scribis et senioribus dicebant:
Likewise the chief priests also mocking, with the scribes, and the elders, said,
42 Alios salvos fecit, seipsum non potest salvum facere: si rex Israël est, descendat nunc de cruce, et credimus ei:
"He saved others, but he cannot save himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him.
43 confidit in Deo: liberet nunc, si vult eum: dixit enim: Quia Filius Dei sum.
He trusts in God. Let God deliver him now, if he wants him; for he said, 'I am the Son of God.'"
44 Idipsum autem et latrones, qui crucifixi erant cum eo, improperabant ei.
The robbers also who were crucified with him insulted him in the same way.
45 A sexta autem hora tenebræ factæ sunt super universam terram usque ad horam nonam.
Now from noon until three in the afternoon there was darkness over all the land.
46 Et circa horam nonam clamavit Jesus voce magna, dicens: Eli, Eli, lamma sabacthani? hoc est: Deus meus, Deus meus, ut quid dereliquisti me?
Then at about three in the afternoon Jesus called out with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, Eli, lema shabachthani?" That is, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"
47 Quidam autem illic stantes, et audientes, dicebant: Eliam vocat iste.
Some of them who stood there, when they heard it, said, "This man is calling Elijah."
48 Et continuo currens unus ex eis, acceptam spongiam implevit aceto, et imposuit arundini, et dabat ei bibere.
Immediately one of them ran, and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him a drink.
49 Ceteri vero dicebant: Sine, videamus an veniat Elias liberans eum.
The rest said, "Let him be. Let us see whether Elijah comes to save him."
50 Jesus autem iterum clamans voce magna, emisit spiritum.
And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit.
51 Et ecce velum templi scissum est in duas partes a summo usque deorsum: et terra mota est, et petræ scissæ sunt,
And look, the veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom. The earth quaked and the rocks were split.
52 et monumenta aperta sunt: et multa corpora sanctorum, qui dormierant, surrexerunt.
The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised;
53 Et exeuntes de monumentis post resurrectionem ejus, venerunt in sanctam civitatem, et apparuerunt multis.
and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection, they entered into the holy city and appeared to many.
54 Centurio autem, et qui cum eo erant, custodientes Jesum, viso terræmotu, et his quæ fiebant, timuerunt valde, dicentes: Vere Filius Dei erat iste.
Now the centurion, and those who were with him watching Jesus, when they saw the earthquake, and the things that were done, feared exceedingly, saying, "Truly this was the Son of God."
55 Erant autem ibi mulieres multæ a longe, quæ secutæ erant Jesum a Galilæa, ministrantes ei:
Many women were there watching from afar, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, serving him.
56 inter quas erat Maria Magdalene, et Maria Jacobi, et Joseph mater, et mater filiorum Zebedæi.
Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.
57 Cum autem sero factum esset, venit quidam homo dives ab Arimathæa, nomine Joseph, qui et ipse discipulus erat Jesu:
When evening had come, a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who himself was also Jesus' disciple came.
58 hic accessit ad Pilatum, et petiit corpus Jesu. Tunc Pilatus jussit reddi corpus.
This man went to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given up.
59 Et accepto corpore, Joseph involvit illud in sindone munda,
Joseph took the body, and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,
60 et posuit illud in monumento suo novo, quod exciderat in petra. Et advolvit saxum magnum ad ostium monumenti, et abiit.
and placed it in his own new tomb, which he had cut out in the rock, and he rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, and departed.
61 Erant autem ibi Maria Magdalene, et altera Maria, sedentes contra sepulchrum.
Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the tomb.
62 Altera autem die, quæ est post Parasceven, convenerunt principes sacerdotum et pharisæi ad Pilatum,
Now on the next day, which was the day after the Preparation Day, the chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered together to Pilate,
63 dicentes: Domine, recordati sumus, quia seductor ille dixit adhuc vivens: Post tres dies resurgam.
saying, "Sir, we remember what that deceiver said while he was still alive: 'After three days I will rise again.'
64 Jube ergo custodiri sepulchrum usque in diem tertium: ne forte veniant discipuli ejus, et furentur eum, et dicant plebi: Surrexit a mortuis: et erit novissimus error pejor priore.
Command therefore that the tomb be made secure until the third day, lest perhaps his disciples come and steal him away, and tell the people, 'He is risen from the dead;' and the last deception will be worse than the first."
65 Ait illis Pilatus: Habetis custodiam, ite, custodite sicut scitis.
Pilate said to them, "You have a guard. Go, make it as secure as you can."
66 Illi autem abeuntes, munierunt sepulchrum, signantes lapidem, cum custodibus.
So they went with the guard and made the tomb secure, sealing the stone.
