John 18

1 After Jesus had spoken these words, He went out with His disciples across the Kidron Valley, where they entered a garden.

1 قَالَ يَسُوعُ هَذَا وَخَرَجَ مَعَ تَلَامِيذِهِ إِلَى عَبْرِ وَادِي قَدْرُونَ، حَيْثُ كَانَ بُسْتَانٌ دَخَلَهُ هُوَ وَتَلَامِيذُهُ.

2 Now Judas His betrayer also knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with His disciples.

2 وَكَانَ يَهُوذَا مُسَلِّمُهُ يَعْرِفُ ٱلْمَوْضِعَ، لِأَنَّ يَسُوعَ ٱجْتَمَعَ هُنَاكَ كَثِيرًا مَعَ تَلَامِيذِهِ.

3 So Judas brought a band of soldiers and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees. They arrived at the garden carrying lanterns, torches, and weapons.

3 فَأَخَذَ يَهُوذَا ٱلْجُنْدَ وَخُدَّامًا مِنْ عِنْدِ رُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَٱلْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ، وَجَاءَ إِلَى هُنَاكَ بِمَشَاعِلَ وَمَصَابِيحَ وَسِلَاحٍ.

4 Jesus, knowing all that was coming upon Him, stepped forward and asked them, “Whom are you seeking?”

4 فَخَرَجَ يَسُوعُ وَهُوَ عَالِمٌ بِكُلِّ مَا يَأْتِي عَلَيْهِ، وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «مَنْ تَطْلُبُونَ؟».

5 “Jesus of Nazareth,” they answered. Jesus said, “I am He.” And Judas His betrayer was standing there with them.

5 أَجَابُوهُ: «يَسُوعَ ٱلنَّاصِرِيَّ». قَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «أَنَا هُوَ». وَكَانَ يَهُوذَا مُسَلِّمُهُ أَيْضًا وَاقِفًا مَعَهُمْ.

6 When Jesus said, “I am He,” they drew back and fell to the ground.

6 فَلَمَّا قَالَ لَهُمْ: «إِنِّي أَنَا هُوَ»، رَجَعُوا إِلَى ٱلْوَرَاءِ وَسَقَطُوا عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ.

7 So He asked them again, “Whom are you seeking?” “Jesus of Nazareth,” they answered.

7 فَسَأَلَهُمْ أَيْضًا: «مَنْ تَطْلُبُونَ؟». فَقَالُوا: «يَسُوعَ ٱلنَّاصِرِيَّ».

8 “I told you that I am He,” Jesus replied. “So if you are looking for Me, let these men go.”

8 أَجَابَ يَسُوع: «قَدْ قُلْتُ لَكُمْ: إِنِّي أَنَا هُوَ. فَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَطْلُبُونَنِي فَدَعُوا هَؤُلَاءِ يَذْهَبُونَ».

9 This was to fulfill the word He had spoken: “I have not lost one of those You have given Me.”

9 لِيَتِمَّ ٱلْقَوْلُ ٱلَّذِي قَالَهُ: «إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ أَعْطَيْتَنِي لَمْ أُهْلِكْ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدًا».

10 Then Simon Peter drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.

10 ثُمَّ إِنَّ سِمْعَانَ بُطْرُسَ كَانَ مَعَهُ سَيْفٌ، فَٱسْتَلَّهُ وَضَرَبَ عَبْدَ رَئِيسِ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ، فَقَطَعَ أُذْنَهُ ٱلْيُمْنَى. وَكَانَ ٱسْمُ ٱلْعَبْدِ مَلْخُسَ.

11 “Put your sword back in its sheath!” Jesus said to Peter. “Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given Me?”

11 فَقَالَ يَسُوعُ لِبُطْرُسَ: «ٱجْعَلْ سَيْفَكَ فِي ٱلْغِمْدِ! ٱلْكَأْسُ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَانِي ٱلْآبُ أَلَا أَشْرَبُهَا؟».

12 Then the band of soldiers, with its commander and the officers of the Jews, arrested Jesus and bound Him.

12 ثُمَّ إِنَّ ٱلْجُنْدَ وَٱلْقَائِدَ وَخُدَّامَ ٱلْيَهُودِ قَبَضُوا عَلَى يَسُوعَ وَأَوْثَقُوهُ،

13 They brought Him first to Annas, who was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, the high priest that year.

13 وَمَضَوْا بِهِ إِلَى حَنَّانَ أَوَّلًا، لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ حَمَا قَيَافَا ٱلَّذِي كَانَ رَئِيسًا لِلْكَهَنَةِ فِي تِلْكَ ٱلسَّنَةِ.

14 Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jews that it would be better if one man died for the people.

14 وَكَانَ قَيَافَا هُوَ ٱلَّذِي أَشَارَ عَلَى ٱلْيَهُودِ أَنَّهُ خَيْرٌ أَنْ يَمُوتَ إِنْسَانٌ وَاحِدٌ عَنِ ٱلشَّعْبِ.

15 Now Simon Peter and another disciple were following Jesus. Since that disciple was known to the high priest, he also went with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest.

15 وَكَانَ سِمْعَانُ بُطْرُسُ وَٱلتِّلْمِيذُ ٱلْآخَرُ يَتْبَعَانِ يَسُوعَ، وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ ٱلتِّلْمِيذُ مَعْرُوفًا عِنْدَ رَئِيسِ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ، فَدَخَلَ مَعَ يَسُوعَ إِلَى دَارِ رَئِيسِ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ.

16 But Peter stood outside at the door. Then the disciple who was known to the high priest went out and spoke to the doorkeeper, and brought Peter in.

16 وَأَمَّا بُطْرُسُ فَكَانَ وَاقِفًا عِنْدَ ٱلْبَابِ خَارِجًا. فَخَرَجَ ٱلتِّلْمِيذُ ٱلْآخَرُ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ مَعْرُوفًا عِنْدَ رَئِيسِ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ، وَكَلَّمَ ٱلْبَوَّابَةَ فَأَدْخَلَ بُطْرُسَ.

17 At this, the servant girl watching the door said to Peter, “Aren’t you also one of this man’s disciples?” “I am not,” he answered.

17 فَقَالَتِ ٱلْجَارِيَةُ ٱلْبَوَّابَةُ لِبُطْرُسَ: «أَلَسْتَ أَنْتَ أَيْضًا مِنْ تَلَامِيذِ هَذَا ٱلْإِنْسَانِ؟». قَالَ ذَاكَ: «لَسْتُ أَنَا!».

18 Because it was cold, the servants and officers were standing around a charcoal fire they had made to keep warm. And Peter was also standing with them, warming himself.

18 وَكَانَ ٱلْعَبِيدُ وَٱلْخُدَّامُ وَاقِفِينَ، وَهُمْ قَدْ أَضْرَمُوا جَمْرًا لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ بَرْدٌ، وَكَانُوا يَصْطَلُونَ، وَكَانَ بُطْرُسُ وَاقِفًا مَعَهُمْ يَصْطَلِي.

19 Meanwhile, the high priest questioned Jesus about His disciples and His teaching.

19 فَسَأَلَ رَئِيسُ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ يَسُوعَ عَنْ تَلَامِيذِهِ وَعَنْ تَعْلِيمِهِ.

20 “I have spoken openly to the world,” Jesus answered. “I always taught in the synagogues and at the temple, where all the Jews come together. I said nothing in secret.

20 أَجَابَهُ يَسُوعُ: «أَنَا كَلَّمْتُ ٱلْعَالَمَ عَلَانِيَةً. أَنَا عَلَّمْتُ كُلَّ حِينٍ فِي ٱلْمَجْمَعِ وَفِي ٱلْهَيْكَلِ حَيْثُ يَجْتَمِعُ ٱلْيَهُودُ دَائِمًا. وَفِي ٱلْخَفَاءِ لَمْ أَتَكَلَّمْ بِشَيْءٍ.

21 Why are you asking Me? Ask those who heard My message. Surely they know what I said.”

21 لِمَاذَا تَسْأَلُنِي أَنَا؟ اِسْأَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ قَدْ سَمِعُوا مَاذَا كَلَّمْتُهُمْ. هُوَذَا هَؤُلَاءِ يَعْرِفُونَ مَاذَا قُلْتُ أَنَا».

22 When Jesus had said this, one of the officers standing nearby slapped Him in the face and said, “Is this how You answer the high priest?”

22 وَلَمَّا قَالَ هَذَا لَطَمَ يَسُوعَ وَاحِدٌ مِنَ ٱلْخُدَّامِ كَانَ وَاقِفًا، قَائِلًا: «أَهَكَذَا تُجَاوِبُ رَئِيسَ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ؟».

23 Jesus replied, “If I said something wrong, testify as to what was wrong. But if I spoke correctly, why did you strike Me?”

23 أَجَابَهُ يَسُوعُ: «إِنْ كُنْتُ قَدْ تَكَلَّمْتُ رَدِيًّا فَٱشْهَدْ عَلَى ٱلرَّدِيِّ، وَإِنْ حَسَنًا فَلِمَاذَا تَضْرِبُنِي؟».

24 Then Annas sent Him, still bound, to Caiaphas the high priest.

24 وَكَانَ حَنَّانُ قَدْ أَرْسَلَهُ مُوثَقًا إِلَى قَيَافَا رَئِيسِ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ.

25 Simon Peter was still standing and warming himself. So they asked him, “Aren’t you also one of His disciples?” He denied it and said, “I am not.”

25 وَسِمْعَانُ بُطْرُسُ كَانَ وَاقِفًا يَصْطَلِي. فَقَالُوا لَهُ: «أَلَسْتَ أَنْتَ أَيْضًا مِنْ تَلَامِيذِهِ؟». فَأَنْكَرَ ذَاكَ وَقَالَ: «لَسْتُ أَنَا!».

26 One of the high priest’s servants, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, asked, “Didn’t I see you with Him in the garden?”

26 قَالَ وَاحِدٌ مِنْ عَبِيدِ رَئِيسِ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ، وَهُوَ نَسِيبُ ٱلَّذِي قَطَعَ بُطْرُسُ أُذْنَهُ: «أَمَا رَأَيْتُكَ أَنَا مَعَهُ فِي ٱلْبُسْتَانِ؟».

27 Peter denied it once more, and immediately a rooster crowed.

27 فَأَنْكَرَ بُطْرُسُ أَيْضًا. وَلِلْوَقْتِ صَاحَ ٱلدِّيكُ.

28 Then they led Jesus away from Caiaphas into the Praetorium. By now it was early morning, and the Jews did not enter the Praetorium, to avoid being defiled and unable to eat the Passover.

28 ثُمَّ جَاءُوا بِيَسُوعَ مِنْ عِنْدِ قَيَافَا إِلَى دَارِ ٱلْوِلَايَةِ، وَكَانَ صُبْحٌ. وَلَمْ يَدْخُلُوا هُمْ إِلَى دَارِ ٱلْوِلَايَةِ لِكَيْ لَا يَتَنَجَّسُوا، فَيَأْكُلُونَ ٱلْفِصْحَ.

29 So Pilate went out to them and asked, “What accusation are you bringing against this man?”

29 فَخَرَجَ بِيلَاطُسُ إِلَيْهِمْ وَقَالَ: «أَيَّةَ شِكَايَةٍ تُقَدِّمُونَ عَلَى هَذَا ٱلْإِنْسَانِ؟».

30 “If He were not a criminal,” they replied, “we would not have handed Him over to you.”

30 أَجَابُوا وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «لَوْ لَمْ يَكُنْ فَاعِلَ شَرٍّ لَمَا كُنَّا قَدْ سَلَّمْنَاهُ إِلَيْكَ!».

31 “You take Him and judge Him by your own law,” Pilate told them. “We are not permitted to execute anyone,” the Jews replied.

31 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ بِيلَاطُسُ: «خُذُوهُ أَنْتُمْ وَٱحْكُمُوا عَلَيْهِ حَسَبَ نَامُوسِكُمْ». فَقَالَ لَهُ ٱلْيَهُودُ: «لَا يَجُوزُ لَنَا أَنْ نَقْتُلَ أَحَدًا».

32 This was to fulfill the word that Jesus had spoken to indicate the kind of death He was going to die.

32 لِيَتِمَّ قَوْلُ يَسُوعَ ٱلَّذِي قَالَهُ مُشِيرًا إِلَى أَيَّةِ مِيتَةٍ كَانَ مُزْمِعًا أَنْ يَمُوتَ.

33 Pilate went back into the Praetorium, summoned Jesus, and asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?”

33 ثُمَّ دَخَلَ بِيلَاطُسُ أَيْضًا إِلَى دَارِ ٱلْوِلَايَةِ وَدَعَا يَسُوعَ، وَقَالَ لَهُ: «أنْتَ مَلِكُ ٱلْيَهُودِ؟».

34 “Are you saying this on your own,” Jesus asked, “or did others tell you about Me?”

34 أَجَابَهُ يَسُوعُ: «أَمِنْ ذَاتِكَ تَقُولُ هَذَا، أَمْ آخَرُونَ قَالُوا لَكَ عَنِّي؟».

35 “Am I a Jew?” Pilate replied. “Your own people and chief priests handed You over to me. What have You done?”

35 أَجَابَهُ بِيلَاطُسُ: «أَلَعَلِّي أَنَا يَهُودِيٌّ؟ أُمَّتُكَ وَرُؤَسَاءُ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ أَسْلَمُوكَ إِلَيَّ. مَاذَا فَعَلْتَ؟».

36 Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world; if it were, My servants would fight to prevent My arrest by the Jews. But now My kingdom is not of this realm.”

36 أَجَابَ يَسُوعُ: «مَمْلَكَتِي لَيْسَتْ مِنْ هَذَا ٱلْعَالَمِ. لَوْ كَانَتْ مَمْلَكَتِي مِنْ هَذَا ٱلْعَالَمِ، لَكَانَ خُدَّامِي يُجَاهِدُونَ لِكَيْ لَا أُسَلَّمَ إِلَى ٱلْيَهُودِ. وَلَكِنِ ٱلْآنَ لَيْسَتْ مَمْلَكَتِي مِنْ هُنَا».

37 “Then You are a king!” Pilate said. “You say that I am a king,” Jesus answered. “For this reason I was born and have come into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to My voice.”

37 فَقَالَ لَهُ بِيلَاطُسُ: «أَفَأَنْتَ إِذًا مَلِكٌ؟». أَجَابَ يَسُوعُ: «أَنْتَ تَقُولُ: إِنِّي مَلِكٌ. لِهَذَا قَدْ وُلِدْتُ أَنَا، وَلِهَذَا قَدْ أَتَيْتُ إِلَى ٱلْعَالَمِ لِأَشْهَدَ لِلْحَقِّ. كُلُّ مَنْ هُوَ مِنَ ٱلْحَقِّ يَسْمَعُ صَوْتِي».

38 “What is truth?” Pilate asked. And having said this, he went out again to the Jews and told them, “I find no basis for a charge against Him.

38 قَالَ لَهُ بِيلَاطُسُ: «مَا هُوَ ٱلْحَقُّ؟!». وَلَمَّا قَالَ هَذَا خَرَجَ أَيْضًا إِلَى ٱلْيَهُودِ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَنَا لَسْتُ أَجِدُ فِيهِ عِلَّةً وَاحِدَةً.

39 But it is your custom that I release to you one prisoner at the Passover. So then, do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?”

39 وَلَكُمْ عَادَةٌ أَنْ أُطْلِقَ لَكُمْ وَاحِدًا فِي ٱلْفِصْحِ. أَفَتُرِيدُونَ أَنْ أُطْلِقَ لَكُمْ مَلِكَ ٱلْيَهُودِ؟».

40 “Not this man,” they shouted, “but Barabbas!” (Now Barabbas was an insurrectionist.)

40 فَصَرَخُوا أَيْضًا جَمِيعُهُمْ قَائِلِينَ: «لَيْسَ هَذَا بَلْ بَارَابَاسَ!». وَكَانَ بَارَابَاسُ لِصًّا.
