John 12

1 Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, the hometown of Lazarus, whom He had raised from the dead.

1 ثُمَّ قَبْلَ ٱلْفِصْحِ بِسِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ أَتَى يَسُوعُ إِلَى بَيْتِ عَنْيَا، حَيْثُ كَانَ لِعَازَرُ ٱلْمَيْتُ ٱلَّذِي أَقَامَهُ مِنَ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ.

2 So they hosted a dinner for Jesus there. Martha served, and Lazarus was among those reclining at the table with Him.

2 فَصَنَعُوا لَهُ هُنَاكَ عَشَاءً. وَكَانَتْ مَرْثَا تَخْدِمُ، وَأَمَّا لِعَازَرُ فَكَانَ أَحَدَ ٱلْمُتَّكِئِينَ مَعَهُ.

3 Then Mary took about a pint of expensive perfume, made of pure nard, and she anointed Jesus’ feet and wiped them with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.

3 فَأَخَذَتْ مَرْيَمُ مَنًا مِنْ طِيبِ نَارِدِينٍ خَالِصٍ كَثِيرِ ٱلثَّمَنِ، وَدَهَنَتْ قَدَمَيْ يَسُوعَ، وَمَسَحَتْ قَدَمَيْهِ بِشَعْرِهَا، فَٱمْتَلَأَ ٱلْبَيْتُ مِنْ رَائِحَةِ ٱلطِّيبِ.

4 But one of His disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was going to betray Him, asked,

4 فَقَالَ وَاحِدٌ مِنْ تَلَامِيذِهِ، وَهُوَ يَهُوذَا سِمْعَانُ ٱلْإِسْخَرْيُوطِيُّ، ٱلْمُزْمِعُ أَنْ يُسَلِّمَهُ:

5 “Why wasn’t this perfume sold for three hundred denarii and the money given to the poor?”

5 «لِمَاذَا لَمْ يُبَعْ هَذَا ٱلطِّيبُ بِثَلَاثَمِئَةِ دِينَارٍ وَيُعْطَ لِلْفُقَرَاءِ؟».

6 Judas did not say this because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief. As keeper of the money bag, he used to take from what was put into it.

6 قَالَ هَذَا لَيْسَ لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ يُبَالِي بِٱلْفُقَرَاءِ، بَلْ لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ سَارِقًا، وَكَانَ ٱلصُّنْدُوقُ عِنْدَهُ، وَكَانَ يَحْمِلُ مَا يُلْقَى فِيهِ.

7 “Leave her alone,” Jesus replied. “She has kept this perfume in preparation for the day of My burial.

7 فَقَالَ يَسُوعُ: «ٱتْرُكُوهَا! إِنَّهَا لِيَوْمِ تَكْفِينِي قَدْ حَفِظَتْهُ،

8 The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have Me.”

8 لِأَنَّ ٱلْفُقَرَاءَ مَعَكُمْ فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ، وَأَمَّا أَنَا فَلَسْتُ مَعَكُمْ فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ».

9 Meanwhile a large crowd of Jews learned that Jesus was there. And they came not only because of Him, but also to see Lazarus, whom He had raised from the dead.

9 فَعَلِمَ جَمْعٌ كَثِيرٌ مِنَ ٱلْيَهُودِ أَنَّهُ هُنَاكَ، فَجَاءُوا لَيْسَ لِأَجْلِ يَسُوعَ فَقَطْ، بَلْ لِيَنْظُرُوا أَيْضًا لِعَازَرَ ٱلَّذِي أَقَامَهُ مِنَ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ.

10 So the chief priests made plans to kill Lazarus as well,

10 فَتَشَاوَرَ رُؤَسَاءُ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ لِيَقْتُلُوا لِعَازَرَ أَيْضًا،

11 for on account of him many of the Jews were deserting them and believing in Jesus.

11 لِأَنَّ كَثِيرِينَ مِنَ ٱلْيَهُودِ كَانُوا بِسَبَبِهِ يَذْهَبُونَ وَيُؤْمِنُونَ بِيَسُوعَ.

12 The next day the great crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem.

12 وَفِي ٱلْغَدِ سَمِعَ ٱلْجَمْعُ ٱلْكَثِيرُ ٱلَّذِي جَاءَ إِلَى ٱلْعِيدِ أَنَّ يَسُوعَ آتٍ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ،

13 They took palm branches and went out to meet Him, shouting: “Hosanna!” “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Blessed is the King of Israel!”

13 فَأَخَذُوا سُعُوفَ ٱلنَّخْلِ وَخَرَجُوا لِلِقَائِهِ، وَكَانُوا يَصْرُخُونَ: «أُوصَنَّا! مُبَارَكٌ ٱلْآتِي بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ! مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ!».

14 Finding a young donkey, Jesus sat on it, as it is written:

14 وَوَجَدَ يَسُوعُ جَحْشًا فَجَلَسَ عَلَيْهِ كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ:

15 “Do not be afraid, O Daughter of Zion. See, your King is coming, seated on the colt of a donkey.”

15 «لَا تَخَافِي يَا ٱبْنَةَ صِهْيَوْنَ. هُوَذَا مَلِكُكِ يَأْتِي جَالِسًا عَلَى جَحْشٍ أَتَانٍ».

16 At first His disciples did not understand these things, but after Jesus was glorified they remembered what had been done to Him, and they realized that these very things had also been written about Him.

16 وَهَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورُ لَمْ يَفْهَمْهَا تَلَامِيذُهُ أَوَّلًا، وَلَكِنْ لَمَّا تَمَجَّدَ يَسُوعُ، حِينَئِذٍ تَذَكَّرُوا أَنَّ هَذِهِ كَانَتْ مَكْتُوبَةً عَنْهُ، وَأَنَّهُمْ صَنَعُوا هَذِهِ لَهُ.

17 Meanwhile, many people who had been with Jesus when He called Lazarus from the tomb and raised him from the dead continued to testify.

17 وَكَانَ ٱلْجَمْعُ ٱلَّذِي مَعَهُ يَشْهَدُ أَنَّهُ دَعَا لِعَازَرَ مِنَ ٱلْقَبْرِ وَأَقَامَهُ مِنَ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ.

18 That is also why the crowd went out to meet Him, because they heard that He had performed this sign.

18 لِهَذَا أَيْضًا لَاقَاهُ ٱلْجَمْعُ، لِأَنَّهُمْ سَمِعُوا أَنَّهُ كَانَ قَدْ صَنَعَ هَذِهِ ٱلْآيَةَ.

19 Then the Pharisees said to one another, “You can see that this is doing you no good. Look how the whole world has gone after Him!”

19 فَقَالَ ٱلْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ: «ٱنْظُرُوا! إِنَّكُمْ لَا تَنْفَعُونَ شَيْئًا! هُوَذَا ٱلْعَالَمُ قَدْ ذَهَبَ وَرَاءَهُ!».

20 Now there were some Greeks among those who went up to worship at the feast.

20 وَكَانَ أُنَاسٌ يُونَانِيُّونَ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ صَعِدُوا لِيَسْجُدُوا فِي ٱلْعِيدِ.

21 They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and requested of him, “Sir, we want to see Jesus.”

21 فَتَقَدَّمَ هَؤُلَاءِ إِلَى فِيلُبُّسَ ٱلَّذِي مِنْ بَيْتِ صَيْدَا ٱلْجَلِيلِ، وَسَأَلُوهُ قَائِلِينَ: «يَا سَيِّدُ، نُرِيدُ أَنْ نَرَى يَسُوعَ».

22 Philip relayed this appeal to Andrew, and both of them went and told Jesus.

22 فَأَتَى فِيلُبُّسُ وَقَالَ لِأَنْدَرَاوُسَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ أَنْدَرَاوُسُ وَفِيلُبُّسُ لِيَسُوعَ.

23 But Jesus replied, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.

23 وَأَمَّا يَسُوعُ فَأَجَابَهُمَا قَائِلًا: «قَدْ أَتَتِ ٱلسَّاعَةُ لِيَتَمَجَّدَ ٱبْنُ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ.

24 Truly, truly, I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a seed. But if it dies, it bears much fruit.

24 اَلْحَقَّ ٱلْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنْ لَمْ تَقَعْ حَبَّةُ ٱلْحِنْطَةِ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ وَتَمُتْ فَهِيَ تَبْقَى وَحْدَهَا. وَلَكِنْ إِنْ مَاتَتْ تَأْتِي بِثَمَرٍ كَثِيرٍ.

25 Whoever loves his life will lose it, but whoever hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.

25 مَنْ يُحِبُّ نَفْسَهُ يُهْلِكُهَا، وَمَنْ يُبْغِضُ نَفْسَهُ فِي هَذَا ٱلْعَالَمِ يَحْفَظُهَا إِلَى حَيَاةٍ أَبَدِيَّةٍ.

26 If anyone serves Me, he must follow Me; and where I am, My servant will be as well. If anyone serves Me, the Father will honor him.

26 إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ يَخْدِمُنِي فَلْيَتْبَعْنِي، وَحَيْثُ أَكُونُ أَنَا هُنَاكَ أَيْضًا يَكُونُ خَادِمِي. وَإِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ يَخْدِمُنِي يُكْرِمُهُ ٱلْآبُ.

27 Now My soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? No, it is for this purpose that I have come to this hour.

27 اَلْآنَ نَفْسِي قَدِ ٱضْطَرَبَتْ. وَمَاذَا أَقُولُ: أَيُّهَا ٱلْآبُ نَجِّنِي مِنْ هَذِهِ ٱلسَّاعَةِ؟ وَلَكِنْ لِأَجْلِ هَذَا أَتَيْتُ إِلَى هَذِهِ ٱلسَّاعَةِ.

28 Father, glorify Your name!” Then a voice came from heaven: “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.”

28 أَيُّهَا ٱلْآبُ، مَجِّدِ ٱسْمَكَ!». فَجَاءَ صَوْتٌ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ: «مَجَّدْتُ، وَأُمَجِّدُ أَيْضًا!».

29 The crowd standing there heard it and said that it had thundered. Others said that an angel had spoken to Him.

29 فَٱلْجَمْعُ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ وَاقِفًا وَسَمِعَ، قَالَ: «قَدْ حَدَثَ رَعْدٌ!». وَآخَرُونَ قَالُوا: «قَدْ كَلَّمَهُ مَلَاكٌ!».

30 In response, Jesus said, “This voice was not for My benefit, but yours.

30 أَجَابَ يَسُوعُ وقَالَ: «لَيْسَ مِنْ أَجْلِي صَارَ هَذَا ٱلصَّوْتُ، بَلْ مِنْ أَجْلِكُمْ.

31 Now judgment is upon this world; now the prince of this world will be cast out.

31 اَلْآنَ دَيْنُونَةُ هَذَا ٱلْعَالَمِ. اَلْآنَ يُطْرَحُ رَئِيسُ هَذَا ٱلْعَالَمِ خَارِجًا.

32 And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw everyone to Myself.”

32 وَأَنَا إِنِ ٱرْتَفَعْتُ عَنِ ٱلْأَرْضِ أَجْذِبُ إِلَيَّ ٱلْجَمِيعَ».

33 He said this to indicate the kind of death He was going to die.

33 قَالَ هَذَا مُشِيرًا إِلَى أَيَّةِ مِيتَةٍ كَانَ مُزْمِعًا أَنْ يَمُوتَ.

34 The crowd replied, “We have heard from the Law that the Christ will remain forever. So how can You say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?”

34 فَأَجَابَهُ ٱلْجَمْعُ: «نَحْنُ سَمِعْنَا مِنَ ٱلنَّامُوسِ أَنَّ ٱلْمَسِيحَ يَبْقَى إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، فَكَيْفَ تَقُولُ أَنْتَ إِنَّهُ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يَرْتَفِعَ ٱبْنُ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ؟ مَنْ هُوَ هَذَا ٱبْنُ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ؟».

35 Then Jesus told them, “For a little while longer, the Light will be among you. Walk while you have the Light, so that darkness will not overtake you. The one who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.

35 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «ٱلنُّورُ مَعَكُمْ زَمَانًا قَلِيلًا بَعْدُ، فَسِيرُوا مَا دَامَ لَكُمُ ٱلنُّورُ لِئَلَّا يُدْرِكَكُمُ ٱلظَّلَامُ. وَٱلَّذِي يَسِيرُ فِي ٱلظَّلَامِ لَا يَعْلَمُ إِلَى أَيْنَ يَذْهَبُ.

36 While you have the Light, believe in the Light, so that you may become sons of light.” After Jesus had spoken these things, He went away and was hidden from them.

36 مَا دَامَ لَكُمُ ٱلنُّورُ آمِنُوا بِٱلنُّورِ لِتَصِيرُوا أَبْنَاءَ ٱلنُّورِ». تَكَلَّمَ يَسُوعُ بِهَذَا ثُمَّ مَضَى وَٱخْتَفَى عَنْهُمْ.

37 Although Jesus had performed so many signs in their presence, they still did not believe in Him.

37 وَمَعَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ قَدْ صَنَعَ أَمَامَهُمْ آيَاتٍ هَذَا عَدَدُهَا، لَمْ يُؤْمِنُوا بِهِ،

38 This was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet: “Lord, who has believed our message? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”

38 لِيَتِمَّ قَوْلُ إِشَعْيَاءَ ٱلنَّبِيِّ ٱلَّذي قَالَهُ: «يَارَبُّ، مَنْ صَدَّقَ خَبَرَنَا؟ وَلِمَنِ ٱسْتُعْلِنَتْ ذِرَاعُ ٱلرَّبِّ؟».

39 For this reason they were unable to believe. For again, Isaiah says:

39 لِهَذَا لَمْ يَقْدِرُوا أَنْ يُؤْمِنُوا. لِأَنَّ إِشَعْيَاءَ قَالَ أَيْضًا:

40 “He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, so that they cannot see with their eyes, and understand with their hearts, and turn, and I would heal them.”

40 «قَدْ أَعْمَى عُيُونَهُمْ، وَأَغْلَظَ قُلُوبَهُمْ، لِئَلَّا يُبْصِرُوا بِعُيُونِهِمْ، وَيَشْعُرُوا بِقُلُوبِهِمْ، وَيَرْجِعُوا فَأَشْفِيَهُمْ».

41 Isaiah said these things because he saw Jesus’ glory and spoke about Him.

41 قَالَ إِشَعْيَاءُ هَذَا حِينَ رَأَى مَجْدَهُ وَتَكَلَّمَ عَنْهُ.

42 Nevertheless, many of the leaders believed in Him. But because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, for fear that they would be put out of the synagogue.

42 وَلَكِنْ مَعَ ذَلِكَ آمَنَ بِهِ كَثِيرُونَ مِنَ ٱلرُّؤَسَاءِ أَيْضًا، غَيْرَ أَنَّهُمْ لِسَبَبِ ٱلْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ لَمْ يَعْتَرِفُوا بِهِ، لِئَلَّا يَصِيرُوا خَارِجَ ٱلْمَجْمَعِ،

43 For they loved praise from men more than praise from God.

43 لِأَنَّهُمْ أَحَبُّوا مَجْدَ ٱلنَّاسِ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ مَجْدِ ٱللهِ.

44 Then Jesus cried out, “Whoever believes in Me does not believe in Me alone, but in the One who sent Me.

44 فَنَادَى يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ: «ٱلَّذِي يُؤْمِنُ بِي، لَيْسَ يُؤْمِنُ بِي بَلْ بِالَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي.

45 And whoever sees Me sees the One who sent Me.

45 وَٱلَّذِي يَرَانِي يَرَى ٱلَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي.

46 I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in Me should remain in darkness.

46 أَنَا قَدْ جِئْتُ نُورًا إِلَى ٱلْعَالَمِ، حَتَّى كُلُّ مَنْ يُؤْمِنُ بِي لَا يَمْكُثُ فِي ٱلظُّلْمَةِ.

47 As for anyone who hears My words and does not keep them, I do not judge him. For I have not come to judge the world, but to save the world.

47 وَإِنْ سَمِعَ أَحَدٌ كَلَامِي وَلَمْ يُؤْمِنْ فَأَنَا لَا أَدِينُهُ، لِأَنِّي لَمْ آتِ لِأَدِينَ ٱلْعَالَمَ بَلْ لِأُخَلِّصَ ٱلْعَالَمَ.

48 There is a judge for the one who rejects Me and does not receive My words: The word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day.

48 مَنْ رَذَلَنِي وَلَمْ يَقْبَلْ كَلَامِي فَلَهُ مَنْ يَدِينُهُ. اَلْكَلَامُ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمْتُ بِهِ هُوَ يَدِينُهُ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْأَخِيرِ،

49 I have not spoken on My own, but the Father who sent Me has commanded Me what to say and how to say it.

49 لِأَنِّي لَمْ أَتَكَلَّمْ مِنْ نَفْسِي، لَكِنَّ ٱلْآبَ ٱلَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي هُوَ أَعْطَانِي وَصِيَّةً: مَاذَا أَقُولُ وَبِمَاذَا أَتَكَلَّمُ.

50 And I know that His command leads to eternal life. So I speak exactly what the Father has told Me to say.”

50 وَأَنَا أَعْلَمُ أَنَّ وَصِيَّتَهُ هِيَ حَيَاةٌ أَبَدِيَّةٌ. فَمَا أَتَكَلَّمُ أَنَا بِهِ، فَكَمَا قَالَ لِي ٱلْآبُ هَكَذَا أَتَكَلَّمُ».
