John 11

1 At this time a man named Lazarus was sick. He lived in Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.

1 وَكَانَ إِنْسَانٌ مَرِيضًا وَهُوَ لِعَازَرُ، مِنْ بَيْتِ عَنْيَا مِنْ قَرْيَةِ مَرْيَمَ وَمَرْثَا أُخْتِهَا.

2 (Mary, whose brother Lazarus was sick, was to anoint the Lord with perfume and wipe His feet with her hair.)

2 وَكَانَتْ مَرْيَمُ، ٱلَّتِي كَانَ لِعَازَرُ أَخُوهَا مَرِيضًا، هِيَ ٱلَّتِي دَهَنَتِ ٱلرَّبَّ بِطِيبٍ، وَمَسَحَتْ رِجْلَيْهِ بِشَعْرِهَا.

3 So the sisters sent word to Jesus, “Lord, the one You love is sick.”

3 فَأَرْسَلَتِ ٱلْأُخْتَانِ إِلَيْهِ قَائِلَتَيْنِ: «يَا سَيِّدُ، هُوَذَا ٱلَّذِي تُحِبُّهُ مَرِيضٌ».

4 When Jesus heard this, He said, “This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”

4 فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ يَسُوعُ، قَالَ: «هَذَا ٱلْمَرَضُ لَيْسَ لِلْمَوْتِ، بَلْ لِأَجْلِ مَجْدِ ٱللهِ، لِيَتَمَجَّدَ ٱبْنُ ٱللهِ بِهِ».

5 Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.

5 وَكَانَ يَسُوعُ يُحِبُّ مَرْثَا وَأُخْتَهَا وَلِعَازَرَ.

6 So on hearing that Lazarus was sick, He stayed where He was for two days,

6 فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ أَنَّهُ مَرِيضٌ مَكَثَ حِينَئِذٍ فِي ٱلْمَوْضِعِ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ فِيهِ يَوْمَيْنِ.

7 and then He said to the disciples, “Let us go back to Judea.”

7 ثُمَّ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ لِتَلَامِيذِهِ: «لِنَذْهَبْ إِلَى ٱلْيَهُودِيَّةِ أَيْضًا».

8 “Rabbi,” they replied, “the Jews just tried to stone You, and You are going back there?”

8 قَالَ لَهُ ٱلتَّلَامِيذُ: «يَا مُعَلِّمُ، ٱلْآنَ كَانَ ٱلْيَهُودُ يَطْلُبُونَ أَنْ يَرْجُمُوكَ، وَتَذْهَبُ أَيْضًا إِلَى هُنَاكَ».

9 Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours of daylight? If anyone walks in the daytime, he will not stumble, because he sees by the light of this world.

9 أَجَابَ يَسُوعُ: «أَلَيْسَتْ سَاعَاتُ ٱلنَّهَارِ ٱثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ؟ إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ يَمْشِي فِي ٱلنَّهَارِ لَا يَعْثُرُ لِأَنَّهُ يَنْظُرُ نُورَ هَذَا ٱلْعَالَمِ،

10 But if anyone walks at night, he will stumble, because he has no light.”

10 وَلَكِنْ إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ يَمْشِي فِي ٱللَّيْلِ يَعْثُرُ، لِأَنَّ ٱلنُّورَ لَيْسَ فِيهِ».

11 After He had said this, He told them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going there to wake him up.”

11 قَالَ هَذَا، وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ لَهُمْ: «لِعَازَرُ حَبِيبُنَا قَدْ نَامَ. لَكِنِّي أَذْهَبُ لِأُوقِظَهُ».

12 His disciples replied, “Lord, if he is sleeping, he will get better.”

12 فَقَالَ تَلَامِيذُهُ: «يَا سَيِّدُ، إِنْ كَانَ قَدْ نَامَ فَهُوَ يُشْفَى».

13 They thought that Jesus was talking about actual sleep, but He was speaking about the death of Lazarus.

13 وَكَانَ يَسُوعُ يَقُولُ عَنْ مَوْتِهِ، وَهُمْ ظَنُّوا أَنَّهُ يَقُولُ عَنْ رُقَادِ ٱلنَّوْمِ.

14 So Jesus told them plainly, “Lazarus is dead,

14 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ حِينَئِذٍ عَلَانِيَةً: «لِعَازَرُ مَاتَ.

15 and for your sake I am glad I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.”

15 وَأَنَا أَفْرَحُ لِأَجْلِكُمْ إِنِّي لَمْ أَكُنْ هُنَاكَ، لِتُؤْمِنُوا. وَلَكِنْ لِنَذْهَبْ إِلَيْهِ!».

16 Then Thomas called Didymus said to his fellow disciples, “Let us also go, so that we may die with Him.”

16 فَقَالَ تُومَا ٱلَّذِي يُقَالُ لَهُ ٱلتَّوْأَمُ لِلتَّلَامِيذِ رُفَقَائِهِ: «لِنَذْهَبْ نَحْنُ أَيْضًا لِكَيْ نَمُوتَ مَعَهُ!».

17 When Jesus arrived, He found that Lazarus had already spent four days in the tomb.

17 فَلَمَّا أَتَى يَسُوعُ وَجَدَ أَنَّهُ قَدْ صَارَ لَهُ أَرْبَعَةُ أَيَّامٍ فِي ٱلْقَبْرِ.

18 Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, a little less than two miles away,

18 وَكَانَتْ بَيْتُ عَنْيَا قَرِيبَةً مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ نَحْوَ خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ غَلْوَةً.

19 and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary to console them in the loss of their brother.

19 وَكَانَ كَثِيرُونَ مِنَ ٱلْيَهُودِ قَدْ جَاءُوا إِلَى مَرْثَا وَمَرْيَمَ لِيُعَزُّوهُمَا عَنْ أَخِيهِمَا.

20 So when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet Him, but Mary stayed at home.

20 فَلَمَّا سَمِعَتْ مَرْثَا أَنَّ يَسُوعَ آتٍ لَاقَتْهُ، وَأَمَّا مَرْيَمُ فَٱسْتَمَرَّتْ جَالِسَةً فِي ٱلْبَيْتِ.

21 Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.

21 فَقَالَتْ مَرْثَا لِيَسُوعَ: «يَا سَيِّدُ، لَوْ كُنْتَ هَهُنَا لَمْ يَمُتْ أَخِي!

22 But even now I know that God will give You whatever You ask of Him.”

22 لَكِنِّي ٱلْآنَ أَيْضًا أَعْلَمُ أَنَّ كُلَّ مَا تَطْلُبُ مِنَ ٱللهِ يُعْطِيكَ ٱللهُ إِيَّاهُ».

23 “Your brother will rise again,” Jesus told her.

23 قَالَ لَهَا يَسُوعُ: «سَيَقُومُ أَخُوكِ».

24 Martha replied, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”

24 قَالَتْ لَهُ مَرْثَا: «أَنَا أَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ سَيَقُومُ فِي ٱلْقِيَامَةِ، فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْأَخِيرِ».

25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in Me will live, even though he dies.

25 قَالَ لَهَا يَسُوعُ: «أَنَا هُوَ ٱلْقِيَامَةُ وَٱلْحَيَاةُ. مَنْ آمَنَ بِي وَلَوْ مَاتَ فَسَيَحْيَا،

26 And everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?”

26 وَكُلُّ مَنْ كَانَ حَيًّا وَآمَنَ بِي فَلَنْ يَمُوتَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. أَتُؤْمِنِينَ بِهَذَا؟».

27 “Yes, Lord,” she answered, “I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world.”

27 قَالَتْ لَهُ: «نَعَمْ يَا سَيِّدُ. أَنَا قَدْ آمَنْتُ أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ ٱلْمَسِيحُ ٱبْنُ ٱللهِ، ٱلْآتِي إِلَى ٱلْعَالَمِ».

28 After Martha had said this, she went back and called her sister Mary aside to tell her, “The Teacher is here and is asking for you.”

28 وَلَمَّا قَالَتْ هَذَا مَضَتْ وَدَعَتْ مَرْيَمَ أُخْتَهَا سِرًّا، قَائِلَةً: «ٱلْمُعَلِّمُ قَدْ حَضَرَ، وَهُوَ يَدْعُوكِ».

29 And when Mary heard this, she got up quickly and went to Him.

29 أَمَّا تِلْكَ فَلَمَّا سَمِعَتْ قَامَتْ سَرِيعًا وَجَاءَتْ إِلَيْهِ.

30 Now Jesus had not yet entered the village, but was still at the place where Martha had met Him.

30 وَلَمْ يَكُنْ يَسُوعُ قَدْ جَاءَ إِلَى ٱلْقَرْيَةِ، بَلْ كَانَ فِي ٱلْمَكَانِ ٱلَّذِي لَاقَتْهُ فِيهِ مَرْثَا.

31 When the Jews who were in the house consoling Mary saw how quickly she got up and went out, they followed her, supposing she was going to the tomb to mourn there.

31 ثُمَّ إِنَّ ٱلْيَهُودَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا مَعَهَا فِي ٱلْبَيْتِ يُعَزُّونَهَا، لَمَّا رَأَوْا مَرْيَمَ قَامَتْ عَاجِلًا وَخَرَجَتْ، تَبِعُوهَا قَائِلِينَ: «إِنَّهَا تَذْهَبُ إِلَى ٱلْقَبْرِ لِتَبْكِيَ هُنَاكَ».

32 When Mary came to Jesus and saw Him, she fell at His feet and said, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.”

32 فَمَرْيَمُ لَمَّا أَتَتْ إِلَى حَيْثُ كَانَ يَسُوعُ وَرَأَتْهُ، خَرَّتْ عِنْدَ رِجْلَيْهِ قَائِلَةً لَهُ: «يَا سَيِّدُ، لَوْ كُنْتَ هَهُنَا لَمْ يَمُتْ أَخِي!».

33 When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come with her also weeping, He was deeply moved in spirit and troubled.

33 فَلَمَّا رَآهَا يَسُوعُ تَبْكِي، وَٱلْيَهُودُ ٱلَّذِينَ جَاءُوا مَعَهَا يَبْكُونَ، ٱنْزَعَجَ بِٱلرُّوحِ وَٱضْطَرَبَ،

34 “Where have you put him?” He asked. “Come and see, Lord,” they answered.

34 وَقَالَ: «أَيْنَ وَضَعْتُمُوهُ؟». قَالُوا لَهُ: «يَا سَيِّدُ، تَعَالَ وَٱنْظُرْ».

35 Jesus wept.

35 بَكَى يَسُوعُ.

36 Then the Jews said, “See how He loved him!”

36 فَقَالَ ٱلْيَهُودُ: «ٱنْظُرُوا كَيْفَ كَانَ يُحِبُّهُ!».

37 But some of them asked, “Could not this man who opened the eyes of the blind also have kept Lazarus from dying?”

37 وَقَالَ بَعْضٌ مِنْهُمْ: «أَلَمْ يَقْدِرْ هَذَا ٱلَّذِي فَتَحَ عَيْنَيِ ٱلْأَعْمَى أَنْ يَجْعَلَ هَذَا أَيْضًا لَا يَمُوتُ؟».

38 Jesus, once again deeply moved, came to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone laid across the entrance.

38 فَٱنْزَعَجَ يَسُوعُ أَيْضًا فِي نَفْسِهِ وَجَاءَ إِلَى ٱلْقَبْرِ، وَكَانَ مَغَارَةً وَقَدْ وُضِعَ عَلَيْهِ حَجَرٌ.

39 “Take away the stone,” Jesus said. “Lord, by now he stinks,” said Martha, the sister of the dead man. “It has already been four days.”

39 قَالَ يَسُوعُ: «ٱرْفَعُوا ٱلْحَجَرَ!». قَالَتْ لَهُ مَرْثَا، أُخْتُ ٱلْمَيْتِ: «يَا سَيِّدُ، قَدْ أَنْتَنَ لِأَنَّ لَهُ أَرْبَعَةَ أَيَّامٍ».

40 Jesus replied, “Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?”

40 قَالَ لَهَا يَسُوعُ: «أَلَمْ أَقُلْ لَكِ: إِنْ آمَنْتِ تَرَيْنَ مَجْدَ ٱللهِ؟».

41 So they took away the stone. Then Jesus lifted His eyes upward and said, “Father, I thank You that You have heard Me.

41 فَرَفَعُوا ٱلْحَجَرَ حَيْثُ كَانَ ٱلْمَيْتُ مَوْضُوعًا، وَرَفَعَ يَسُوعُ عَيْنَيْهِ إِلَى فَوْقُ، وَقَالَ: «أَيُّهَا ٱلْآبُ، أَشْكُرُكَ لِأَنَّكَ سَمِعْتَ لِي،

42 I knew that You always hear Me, but I say this for the benefit of the people standing here, so they may believe that You sent Me.”

42 وَأَنَا عَلِمْتُ أَنَّكَ فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ تَسْمَعُ لِي. وَلَكِنْ لِأَجْلِ هَذَا ٱلْجَمْعِ ٱلْوَاقِفِ قُلْتُ، لِيُؤْمِنُوا أَنَّكَ أَرْسَلْتَنِي».

43 After Jesus had said this, He called out in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”

43 وَلَمَّا قَالَ هَذَا صَرَخَ بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ: «لِعَازَرُ، هَلُمَّ خَارِجًا!».

44 The man who had been dead came out with his hands and feet bound in strips of linen, and his face wrapped in a cloth. “Unwrap him and let him go,” Jesus told them.

44 فَخَرَجَ ٱلْمَيْتُ وَيَدَاهُ وَرِجْلَاهُ مَرْبُوطَاتٌ بِأَقْمِطَةٍ، وَوَجْهُهُ مَلْفُوفٌ بِمِنْدِيلٍ. فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «حُلُّوهُ وَدَعُوهُ يَذْهَبْ».

45 Therefore many of the Jews who had come to Mary, and had seen what Jesus did, believed in Him.

45 فَكَثِيرُونَ مِنَ ٱلْيَهُودِ ٱلَّذِينَ جَاءُوا إِلَى مَرْيَمَ، وَنَظَرُوا مَا فَعَلَ يَسُوعُ، آمَنُوا بِهِ.

46 But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.

46 وَأَمَّا قَوْمٌ مِنْهُمْ فَمَضَوْا إِلَى ٱلْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ وَقَالُوا لَهُمْ عَمَّا فَعَلَ يَسُوعُ.

47 Then the chief priests and Pharisees convened the Sanhedrin and said, “What are we to do? This man is performing many signs.

47 فَجَمَعَ رُؤَسَاءُ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَٱلْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ مَجْمَعًا وَقَالُوا: «مَاذَا نَصْنَعُ؟ فَإِنَّ هَذَا ٱلْإِنْسَانَ يَعْمَلُ آيَاتٍ كَثِيرَةً.

48 If we let Him go on like this, everyone will believe in Him, and then the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.”

48 إِنْ تَرَكْنَاهُ هَكَذَا يُؤْمِنُ ٱلْجَمِيعُ بِهِ، فَيَأْتِي ٱلرُّومَانِيُّونَ وَيَأْخُذُونَ مَوْضِعَنَا وَأُمَّتَنَا».

49 But one of them, named Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all!

49 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ وَاحِدٌ مِنْهُمْ، وَهُوَ قَيَافَا، كَانَ رَئِيسًا لِلْكَهَنَةِ فِي تِلْكَ ٱلسَّنَةِ: «أَنْتُمْ لَسْتُمْ تَعْرِفُونَ شَيْئًا،

50 You do not realize that it is better for you that one man die for the people than that the whole nation perish.”

50 وَلَا تُفَكِّرُونَ أَنَّهُ خَيْرٌ لَنَا أَنْ يَمُوتَ إِنْسَانٌ وَاحِدٌ عَنِ ٱلشَّعْبِ وَلَا تَهْلِكَ ٱلْأُمَّةُ كُلُّهَا!».

51 Caiaphas did not say this on his own. Instead, as high priest that year, he was prophesying that Jesus would die for the nation,

51 وَلَمْ يَقُلْ هَذَا مِنْ نَفْسِهِ، بَلْ إِذْ كَانَ رَئِيسًا لِلْكَهَنَةِ فِي تِلْكَ ٱلسَّنَةِ، تَنَبَّأَ أَنَّ يَسُوعَ مُزْمِعٌ أَنْ يَمُوتَ عَنِ ٱلْأُمَّةِ،

52 and not only for the nation, but also for the scattered children of God, to gather them together into one.

52 وَلَيْسَ عَنِ ٱلْأُمَّةِ فَقَطْ، بَلْ لِيَجْمَعَ أَبْنَاءَ ٱللهِ ٱلْمُتَفَرِّقِينَ إِلَى وَاحِدٍ.

53 So from that day on they plotted to kill Him.

53 فَمِنْ ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ تَشَاوَرُوا لِيَقْتُلُوهُ.

54 As a result, Jesus no longer went about publicly among the Jews, but He withdrew to a town called Ephraim in an area near the wilderness. And He stayed there with the disciples.

54 فَلَمْ يَكُنْ يَسُوعُ أَيْضًا يَمْشِي بَيْنَ ٱلْيَهُودِ عَلَانِيَةً، بَلْ مَضَى مِنْ هُنَاكَ إِلَى ٱلْكُورَةِ ٱلْقَرِيبَةِ مِنَ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ، إِلَى مَدِينَةٍ يُقَالُ لَهَا أَفْرَايِمُ، وَمَكَثَ هُنَاكَ مَعَ تَلَامِيذِهِ.

55 Now the Jewish Passover was near, and many people went up from the country to Jerusalem to purify themselves before the Passover.

55 وَكَانَ فِصْحُ ٱلْيَهُودِ قَرِيبًا. فَصَعِدَ كَثِيرُونَ مِنَ ٱلْكُوَرِ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ قَبْلَ ٱلْفِصْحِ لِيُطَهِّرُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ.

56 They kept looking for Jesus and asking one another as they stood in the temple courts, “What do you think? Will He come to the feast at all?”

56 فَكَانُوا يَطْلُبُونَ يَسُوعَ وَيَقُولُونَ فِيمَا بَيْنَهُمْ، وَهُمْ وَاقِفُونَ فِي ٱلْهَيْكَلِ: «مَاذَا تَظُنُّونَ؟ هَلْ هُوَ لَا يَأْتِي إِلَى ٱلْعِيدِ؟».

57 But the chief priests and Pharisees had given orders that anyone who knew where He was must report it, so that they could arrest Him.

57 وَكَانَ أَيْضًا رُؤَسَاءُ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَٱلْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ قَدْ أَصْدَرُوا أَمْرًا أَنَّهُ إِنْ عَرَفَ أَحَدٌ أَيْنَ هُوَ فَلْيَدُلَّ عَلَيْهِ، لِكَيْ يُمْسِكُوهُ.
