Luke 23

1 Then the whole council rose and led Jesus away to Pilate.

1 فَقَامَتْ جَمَاعَتُهُمْ كُلُّهَا، وَسَاقُوا يَسُوعَ إِلَى بِيلاطُسَ.

2 And they began to accuse Him, saying, “We found this man subverting our nation, forbidding payment of taxes to Caesar, and proclaiming Himself to be Christ, a King.”

2 وَبَدَأُوا يَتَّهِمُونَهُ قَائِلِينَ: «تَبَيَّنَ لَنَا أَنَّ هَذَا يُضَلِّلُ أُمَّتَنَا، وَيَمْنَعُ أَنْ تُدْفَعَ الْجِزْيَةُ لِلْقَيْصَرِ وَيَدَّعِي أَنَّهُ الْمَسِيحُ الْمَلِكُ!»

3 So Pilate asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

3 فَسَأَلَهُ بِيلاطُسُ: «أَأَنْتَ مَلِكُ الْيَهُودِ؟» فَأَجَابَهُ: «أَنْتَ قُلْتَ!»

4 Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”

4 فَقَالَ بِيلاطُسُ لِرُؤَسَاءِ الْكَهَنَةِ وَالْجُمُوعِ: «لا أَجِدُ ذَنْباً فِي هَذَا الإِنْسَانِ!»

5 But they kept insisting, “He stirs up the people all over Judea with His teaching. He began in Galilee and has come all the way here.”

5 وَلَكِنَّهُمْ أَلَحُّوا قَائِلِينَ: «إِنَّهُ يُثِيرُ الشَّعْبَ، مُعَلِّماً فِي الْيَهُودِيَّةِ كُلِّهَا، ابْتِدَاءً مِنَ الْجَلِيلِ حَتَّى هُنَا!»

6 When Pilate heard this, he asked if the man was a Galilean.

6 فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ بِيلاطُسُ ذِكْرَ الْجَلِيلِ، اسْتَفْسَرَ: «هَلِ الرَّجُلُ مِنَ الْجَلِيلِ؟».

7 And learning that Jesus was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who himself was in Jerusalem at that time.

7 وَإِذْ عَلِمَ أَنَّهُ تَابِعٌ لِسُلْطَةِ هِيرُودُسَ، أَحَالَهُ عَلَى هِيرُودُسَ، إِذْ كَانَ هُوَ أَيْضاً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ فِي تِلْكَ الأَيَّامِ.

8 When Herod saw Jesus, he was greatly pleased. He had wanted to see Him for a long time, because he had heard about Him and was hoping to see Him perform a miracle.

8 وَلَمَّا رَأَى هِيرُودُسُ يَسُوعَ، فَرِحَ جِدّاً، لأَنَّهُ كَانَ يَتَمَنَّى مِنْ زَمَانٍ طَوِيلٍ أَنْ يَرَاهُ بِسَبَبِ سَمَاعِهِ الْكَثِيرَ عَنْهُ، وَيَرْجُو أَنْ يَرَى آيَةً تُجْرَى عَلَى يَدِهِ.

9 Herod questioned Jesus at great length, but He gave no answer.

9 فَسَأَلَهُ فِي قَضَايَا كَثِيرَةٍ، أَمَّا هُوَ فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ عَنْ شَيْءٍ.

10 Meanwhile, the chief priests and scribes stood there, vehemently accusing Him.

10 وَوَقَفَ رُؤَسَاءُ الْكَهَنَةِ وَالْكَتَبَةُ يَتَّهِمُونَهُ بِعُنْفٍ.

11 And even Herod and his soldiers ridiculed and mocked Him. Dressing Him in a fine robe, they sent Him back to Pilate.

11 فَاحْتَقَرَهُ هِيرُودُسُ وَجُنُودُهُ، وَسَخِرَ مِنْهُ، إِذْ أَلْبَسَهُ ثَوْباً بَرَّاقاً وَرَدَّهُ إِلَى بِيلاطُسَ.

12 That day Herod and Pilate became friends; before this time they had been enemies.

12 وَصَارَ بِيلاطُسُ وَهِيرُودُسُ صَدِيقَيْنِ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ، وَقَدْ كَانَتْ بَيْنَهُمَا عَدَاوَةٌ سَابِقَةٌ.

13 Then Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,

13 فَدَعَا بِيلاطُسُ رُؤَسَاءَ الْكَهَنَةِ وَالْقُوَّادَ وَالشَّعْبَ.

14 and said to them, “You brought me this man as one who was inciting the people to rebellion. I have examined Him here in your presence and found Him not guilty of your charges against Him.

14 وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَحْضَرْتُمْ إِلَيَّ هَذَا الإِنْسَانَ عَلَى أَنَّهُ يُضَلِّلُ الشَّعْبَ. وَهَا أَنَا، بَعْدَمَا فَحَصْتُ الأَمْرَ أَمَامَكُمْ، لَمْ أَجِدْ فِي هَذَا الإِنْسَانِ أَيَّ ذَنْبٍ مِمَّا تَتَّهِمُونَهُ بِهِ،

15 Neither has Herod, for he sent Him back to us. As you can see, He has done nothing deserving of death.

15 وَلا وَجَدَ هِيرُودُسُ أَيْضاً، إِذْ رَدَّهُ إِلَيْنَا. وَهَا إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَفْعَلْ شَيْئاً يَسْتَوْجِبُ الْمَوْتَ.

16 Therefore I will punish Him and release Him.”

16 فَسَأَجْلِدُهُ إِذَنْ وَأُطْلِقُهُ».

17

17 وَكَانَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يُطْلِقَ لَهُمْ فِي كُلِّ عِيدٍ سَجِيناً وَاحِداً.

18 But they all cried out in unison: “Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us!”

18 وَلَكِنَّهُمْ صَرَخُوا بِجُمْلَتِهِمْ: «اقْتُلْ هَذَا، وَأَطْلِقْ لَنَا بَارَابَاسَ!»

19 (Barabbas had been imprisoned for an insurrection in the city, and for murder.)

19 وَكَانَ ذَاكَ قَدْ أُلْقِيَ فِي السِّجْنِ بِسَبَبِ فِتْنَةٍ حَدَثَتْ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ وَبِسَبَبِ قَتْلٍ.

20 Wanting to release Jesus, Pilate addressed them again,

20 فَخَاطَبَهُمْ بِيلاطُسُ ثَانِيَةً وَهُوَ رَاغِبٌ فِي إِطْلاقِ يَسُوعَ.

21 but they kept shouting, “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!”

21 فَرَدُّوا صَارِخِينَ: «اصْلِبْهُ! اصْلِبْهُ!»

22 A third time he said to them, “What evil has this man done? I have found in Him no offense worthy of death. So after I punish Him, I will release Him.”

22 فَسَأَلَهُمْ ثَالِثَةً: «فَأَيَّ شَرٍّ فَعَلَ هَذَا؟ لَمْ أَجِدْ فِيهِ ذَنْباً عُقُوبَتُهُ الْمَوْتُ. فَسَأَجْلِدُهُ إِذَنْ وَأُطْلِقُهُ!»

23 But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices for Jesus to be crucified. And their clamor prevailed.

23 فَأَخَذُوا يُلِحُّونَ صَارِخِينَ بِأَصْوَاتٍ عَالِيَةٍ، طَالِبِينَ أَنْ يُصْلَبَ! فَتَغَلَّبَتْ أَصْوَاتُهُمْ،

24 So Pilate sentenced that their demand be met.

24 وَحَكَمَ بِيلاطُسُ أَنْ يُنَفَّذَ طَلَبُهُمْ.

25 As they had requested, he released the one imprisoned for insurrection and murder, and he handed Jesus over to their will.

25 فَأَطْلَقَ الَّذِي كَانَ قَدْ أُلْقِيَ فِي السِّجْنِ بِسَبَبِ الْفِتْنَةِ وَالْقَتْلِ، ذَاكَ الَّذِي طَلَبُوا إِطْلاقَهُ. وَأَمَّا يَسُوعُ فَسَلَّمَهُ بِيلاطُسُ إِلَى إِرَادَتِهِمْ.

26 As the soldiers led Him away, they seized Simon of Cyrene on his way in from the country, and they put the cross on him to carry behind Jesus.

26 وَفِيمَا هُمْ يَسُوقُونَهُ (إِلَى الصَّلْبِ)، أَمْسَكُوا رَجُلاً مِنَ الْقَيْرَوَانِ اسْمُهُ سِمْعَانُ، كَانَ رَاجِعاً مِنَ الْحَقْلِ، وَوَضَعُوا عَلَيْهِ الصَّلِيبَ لِيَحْمِلَهُ خَلْفَ يَسُوعَ.

27 A great number of people followed Him, including women who kept mourning and wailing for Him.

27 وَقَدْ تَبِعَهُ جَمْعٌ كَبِيرٌ مِنَ الشَّعْبِ وَمِنْ نِسَاءٍ كُنَّ يُوَلْوِلْنَ وَيَنْدُبْنَهُ.

28 But Jesus turned to them and said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

28 فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَيْهِنَّ يَسُوعُ، وَقَالَ: «يَا بَنَاتِ أُورُشَلِيمَ، لَا تَبْكِينَ عَلَيِّ، بَلِ ابْكِينَ عَلَى أَنْفُسِكُنَّ وَعَلَى أَوْلادِكُنَّ!

29 Look, the days are coming when people will say, ‘Blessed are the barren women, the wombs that never bore, and breasts that never nursed!’

29 فَهَا إِنَّ أَيَّاماً سَتَأْتِي فِيهَا يَقُولُ النَّاسُ: طُوبَى لِلْعَوَاقِرِ اللَّوَاتِي مَا حَمَلَتْ بُطُونُهُنَّ وَلا أَرْضَعَتْ أَثْدَاؤُهُنَّ!

30 At that time ‘they will say to the mountains, “Fall on us!” and to the hills, “Cover us!”’

30 عِنْدَئِذٍ يَقُولُونَ لِلْجِبَالِ: اسْقُطِي عَلَيْنَا، وَلِلتِّلالِ: غَطِّينَا!

31 For if men do these things while the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?”

31 فَإِنْ كَانُوا قَدْ فَعَلُوا هَذَا بِالْغُصْنِ الأَخْضَرِ، فَمَاذَا يَجْرِي لِلْيَابِسِ؟»

32 Two others, who were criminals, were also led away to be executed with Jesus.

32 وَسِيقَ إِلَى الْقَتْلِ مَعَ يَسُوعَ أَيْضاً اثْنَانِ مِنَ الْمُجْرِمِينَ.

33 When they came to the place called The Skull, they crucified Him there, along with the criminals, one on His right and the other on His left.

33 وَلَمَّا وَصَلُوا إِلَى الْمَكَانِ الَّذِي يُدْعَى الْجُمْجُمَةَ، صَلَبُوهُ هُنَاكَ مَعَ الْمُجْرِمَيْنِ، وَاحِدٌ عَنِ الْيَمِينِ وَالآخَرُ عَنِ اليَسَارِ.

34 Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided up His garments by casting lots.

34 وَقَالَ يَسُوعُ: «يَا أَبِي، اغْفِرْ لَهُمْ، لأَنَّهُمْ لَا يَدْرُونَ مَا يَفْعَلُونَ!» وَاقْتَسَمُوا ثِيَابَهُ مُقْتَرِعِينَ عَلَيْهَا.

35 The people stood watching, and the rulers sneered at Him, saying, “He saved others; let Him save Himself if He is the Christ of God, the Chosen One.”

35 وَوَقَفَ الشَّعْبُ هُنَاكَ يُرَاقِبُونَهُ، وَكَذلِكَ الرُّؤَسَاءُ يَتَهَكَّمُونَ قَائِلِينَ: «خَلَّصَ آخَرِينَ! فَلْيُخَلِّصْ نَفْسَهُ إِنْ كَانَ هُوَ الْمَسِيحَ الْمُخْتَارَ عِنْدَ اللهِ!»

36 The soldiers also mocked Him and came up to offer Him sour wine.

36 وَسَخِرَ مِنْهُ الْجُنُودُ أَيْضاً، فَكَانُوا يَتَقَدَّمُونَ إِلَيْهِ وَيُقَدِّمُونَ لَهُ خَلًّا،

37 “If You are the King of the Jews,” they said, “save Yourself!”

37 قَائِلِينَ: «إِنْ كُنْتَ أَنْتَ مَلِكَ الْيَهُودِ، فَخَلِّصْ نَفْسَكَ»

38 Above Him was posted an inscription: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

38 وَكَانَتْ فَوْقَهُ لافِتَةٌ كُتِبَ فِيهَا: «هَذَا هُوَ مَلِكُ الْيَهُودِ».

39 One of the criminals who hung there heaped abuse on Him. “Are You not the Christ?” he said. “Save Yourself and us!”

39 وَأَخَذَ وَاحِدٌ مِنَ الْمُجْرِمَيْنِ الْمَصْلُوبَيْنِ يُجَدِّفُ عَلَيْهِ فَيَقُولُ: «أَلَسْتَ أَنْتَ الْمَسِيحَ؟ إِذَنْ خَلِّصْ نَفْسَكَ وَخَلِّصْنَا!»

40 But the other one rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same judgment?

40 وَلكِنَّ الآخَرَ كَلَّمَهُ زَاجِراً فَقَالَ: «أَحَتَّى أَنْتَ لَا تَخَافُ اللهَ، وَأَنْتَ تُعَانِي الْعُقُوبَةَ نَفْسَهَا؟

41 We are punished justly, for we are receiving what our actions deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”

41 أَمَّا نَحْنُ فَعُقُوبَتُنَا عَادِلَةٌ لأَنَّنَا نَنَالُ الْجَزَاءَ الْعَادِلَ لِقَاءَ مَا فَعَلْنَا. وَأَمَّا هَذَا الإِنْسَانُ، فَلَمْ يَفْعَلُ شَيْئاً فِي غَيْرِ مَحَلِّهِ!»

42 Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom!”

42 ثُمَّ قَالَ: «يَا يَسُوعُ، اذْكُرْنِي عِنْدَمَا تَجِيءُ فِي مَلَكُوتِكَ!»

43 And Jesus said to him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”

43 فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكَ: الْيَوْمَ سَتَكُونُ مَعِي فِي الْفِرْدَوْسِ!»

44 It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over all the land until the ninth hour.

44 وَنَحْوَ السَّاعَةِ السَّادِسَةِ (الثَّانِيَةَ عَشْرَةَ ظُهْراً)، حَلَّ الظَّلامُ عَلَى الأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا حَتَّى السَّاعَةِ التَّاسِعَةِ (الثَّالِثَةِ بَعْدَ الظُّهْرِ).

45 The sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn down the middle.

45 وَأَظْلَمَتِ الشَّمْسُ، وَانْشَطَرَ سِتَارُ الْهَيْكَلِ مِنَ الوَسَطِ.

46 Then Jesus called out in a loud voice, “Father, into Your hands I commit My Spirit.” And when He had said this, He breathed His last.

46 وَقَالَ يَسُوعُ صَارِخاً بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ: «يَا أَبِي، فِي يَدَيْكَ أَسْتَوْدِعُ رُوحِي!» وَإِذْ قَالَ هَذَا، أَسْلَمَ الرُّوحَ.

47 When the centurion saw what had happened, he gave glory to God, saying, “Surely this was a righteous man.”

47 فَلَمَّا رَأَى قَائِدُ الْمِئَةِ مَا حَدَثَ، مَجَّدَ اللهَ قَائِلاً: «بِالْحَقِيقَةِ كَانَ هَذَا الإِنْسَانُ بَارّاً».

48 And when all the people who had gathered for this spectacle saw what had happened, they returned home beating their breasts.

48 كَذلِكَ الْجُمُوعُ الَّذِينَ احْتَشَدُوا لِيُرَاقِبُوا مَشْهَدَ الصَّلْبِ، لَمَّا رَأَوْا مَا حَدَثَ، رَجَعُوا قَارِعِينَ الصُّدُورَ.

49 But all those who knew Jesus, including the women who had followed Him from Galilee, stood at a distance watching these things.

49 أَمَّا جَمِيعُ مَعَارِفِهِ، بِمَنْ فِيهِمِ النِّسَاءُ اللَّوَاتِي تَبِعْنَهُ مِنَ الْجَلِيلِ، فَقَدْ كَانُوا وَاقِفِينَ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ يُرَاقِبُونَ هذِهِ الأُمُورَ.

50 Now there was a Council member named Joseph, a good and righteous man,

50 وَكَانَ فِي الْمَجْلِسِ الأَعْلَى إِنْسَانٌ اسْمُهُ يُوسُفُ، وَهُوَ إِنْسَانٌ صَالِحٌ وَتَقِيٌّ

51 who had not consented to their decision or action. He was from the Judean town of Arimathea and was waiting for the kingdom of God.

51 لَمْ يَكُنْ مُوَافِقاً عَلَى قَرَارِ أَعْضَاءِ الْمَجْلِسِ وَفِعْلَتِهِمْ، وَهُوَ مِنَ الرَّامَةِ إِحْدَى مُدُنِ الْيَهُودِ، وَكَانَ مِنْ مُنْتَظِرِي مَلَكُوتِ اللهِ.

52 He went to Pilate to ask for the body of Jesus.

52 فَإِذَا بِهِ قَدْ تَقَدَّمَ إِلَى بِيلاطُسَ وَطَلَبَ جُثْمَانَ يَسُوعَ.

53 Then he took it down, wrapped it in a linen cloth, and placed it in a tomb cut into the rock, where no one had yet been laid.

53 ثُمَّ أَنْزَلَهُ (مِنْ عَلَى الصَّلِيبِ) وَكَفَّنَهُ بِكَتَّانِ، وَوَضَعَهُ فِي قَبْرٍ مَنْحُوتٍ (فِي الصَّخْرِ) لَمْ يُدْفَنْ فِيهِ أَحَدٌ مِنْ قَبْلُ.

54 It was Preparation Day, and the Sabbath was beginning.

54 وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ النَّهَارُ يَوْمَ الإِعْدَادِ لِلسَّبْتِ الَّذِي كَانَ قَدْ بَدَأَ يَقْتَرِبُ.

55 The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee followed, and they saw the tomb and how His body was placed.

55 وَتَبِعَتْ يُوسُفَ النِّسَاءُ اللَّوَاتِي خَرَجْنَ مِنَ الْجَلِيلِ مَعَ يَسُوعَ، فَرَأَيْنَ الْقَبْرَ وَكَيْفَ وُضِعَ جُثْمَانُهُ.

56 Then they returned to prepare spices and perfumes. And they rested on the Sabbath, according to the commandment.

56 ثُمَّ رَجَعْنَ وَهَيَّأْنَ حَنُوطاً وَطِيباً، وَاسْتَرَحْنَ يَوْمَ السَّبْتِ حَسَبَ الْوَصِيَّةِ.
