Luke 23

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

1 فَقَامَ كُلُّ جُمْهُورِهِمْ وَجَاءُوا بِهِ إِلَى بِيلَاطُسَ،

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 وَٱبْتَدَأُوا يَشْتَكُونَ عَلَيْهِ قَائِلِينَ: «إِنَّنَا وَجَدْنَا هَذَا يُفْسِدُ ٱلْأُمَّةَ، وَيَمْنَعُ أَنْ تُعْطَى جِزْيَةٌ لِقَيْصَرَ، قَائِلًا: إِنَّهُ هُوَ مَسِيحٌ مَلِكٌ».

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

3 فَسَأَلَهُ بِيلَاطُسُ قَائِلًا: «أَنْتَ مَلِكُ ٱلْيَهُودِ؟». فَأَجَابَهُ وَقَالَ: «أَنْتَ تَقُولُ».

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

4 فَقَالَ بِيلَاطُسُ لِرُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَٱلْجُمُوعِ: «إِنِّي لَا أَجِدُ عِلَّةً فِي هَذَا ٱلْإِنْسَانِ».

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 فَكَانُوا يُشَدِّدُونَ قَائِلِينَ: «إِنَّهُ يُهَيِّجُ ٱلشَّعْبَ وَهُوَ يُعَلِّمُ فِي كُلِّ ٱلْيَهُودِيَّةِ مُبْتَدِئًا مِنَ ٱلْجَلِيلِ إِلَى هُنَا».

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

6 فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ بِيلَاطُسُ ذِكْرَ ٱلْجَلِيلِ، سَأَلَ: «هَلِ ٱلرَّجُلُ جَلِيلِيٌّ؟»

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

7 وَحِينَ عَلِمَ أَنَّهُ مِنْ سَلْطَنَةِ هِيرُودُسَ، أَرْسَلَهُ إِلَى هِيرُودُسَ، إِذْ كَانَ هُوَ أَيْضًا تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ.

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 وَأَمَّا هِيرُودُسُ فَلَمَّا رَأَى يَسُوعَ فَرِحَ جِدًّا، لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ يُرِيدُ مِنْ زَمَانٍ طَوِيلٍ أَنْ يَرَاهُ، لِسَمَاعِهِ عَنْهُ أَشْيَاءَ كَثِيرَةً، وَتَرَجَّى أَنْ يَرَي آيَةً تُصْنَعُ مِنْهُ.

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

9 وَسَأَلَهُ بِكَلَامٍ كَثِيرٍ فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ بِشَيْءٍ.

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

10 وَوَقَفَ رُؤَسَاءُ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَٱلْكَتَبَةُ يَشْتَكُونَ عَلَيْهِ بِٱشْتِدَادٍ،

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

11 فَٱحْتَقَرَهُ هِيرُودُسُ مَعَ عَسْكَرِهِ وَٱسْتَهْزَأَ بِهِ، وَأَلْبَسَهُ لِبَاسًا لَامِعًا، وَرَدَّهُ إِلَى بِيلَاطُسَ.

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

12 فَصَارَ بِيلَاطُسُ وَهِيرُودُسُ صَدِيقَيْنِ مَعَ بَعْضِهِمَا فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ، لِأَنَّهُمَا كَانَا مِنْ قَبْلُ فِي عَدَاوَةٍ بَيْنَهُمَا.

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

13 فَدَعَا بِيلَاطُسُ رُؤَسَاءَ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَٱلْعُظَمَاءَ وَٱلشَّعْبَ،

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: «قَدْ قَدَّمْتُمْ إِلَيَّ هَذَا ٱلْإِنْسَانَ كَمَنْ يُفْسِدُ ٱلشَّعْبَ. وَهَا أَنَا قَدْ فَحَصْتُ قُدَّامَكُمْ وَلَمْ أَجِدْ فِي هَذَا ٱلْإِنْسَانِ عِلَّةً مِمَّا تَشْتَكُونَ بِهِ عَلَيْهِ.

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

15 وَلَا هِيرُودُسُ أَيْضًا، لِأَنِّي أَرْسَلْتُكُمْ إِلَيْهِ. وَهَا لَا شَيْءَ يَسْتَحِقُّ ٱلْمَوْتَ صُنِعَ مِنْهُ.

16 Therefore I will punish Him and release Him.”

16 فَأَنَا أُؤَدِّبُهُ وَأُطْلِقُهُ».

17

17 وَكَانَ مُضْطَرًّا أَنْ يُطْلِقَ لَهُمْ كُلَّ عِيدٍ وَاحِدًا،

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

18 فَصَرَخُوا بِجُمْلَتِهِمْ قَائِلِينَ: «خُذْ هَذَا! وَأَطْلِقْ لَنَا بَارَابَاسَ!».

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

19 وَذَاكَ كَانَ قَدْ طُرِحَ فِي ٱلسِّجْنِ لِأَجْلِ فِتْنَةٍ حَدَثَتْ فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ وَقَتْلٍ.

20 Wanting to release Jesus, Pilate addressed them again,

20 فَنَادَاهُمْ أَيْضًا بِيلَاطُسُ وَهُوَ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُطْلِقَ يَسُوعَ،

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

21 فَصَرَخُوا قَائِلِينَ: «ٱصْلِبْهُ! ٱصْلِبْهُ!».

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 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ ثَالِثَةً: «فَأَيَّ شَرٍّ عَمِلَ هَذَا؟ إِنِّي لَمْ أَجِدْ فِيهِ عِلَّةً لِلْمَوْتِ، فَأَنَا أُؤَدِّبُهُ وَأُطْلِقُهُ».

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

23 فَكَانُوا يَلِجُّونَ بِأَصْوَاتٍ عَظِيمَةٍ طَالِبِينَ أَنْ يُصْلَبَ. فَقَوِيَتْ أَصْوَاتُهُمْ وَأَصْوَاتُ رُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ.

24 So Pilate sentenced that their demand be met.

24 فَحَكَمَ بِيلَاطُسُ أَنْ تَكُونَ طِلْبَتُهُمْ.

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

25 فَأَطْلَقَ لَهُمُ ٱلَّذِي طُرِحَ فِي ٱلسِّجْنِ لِأَجْلِ فِتْنَةٍ وَقَتْلٍ، ٱلَّذِي طَلَبُوهُ، وَأَسْلَمَ يَسُوعَ لِمَشِيئَتِهِمْ.

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 وَلَمَّا مَضَوْا بِهِ أَمْسَكُوا سِمْعَانَ، رَجُلًا قَيْرَوَانِيًّا كَانَ آتِيًا مِنَ ٱلْحَقْلِ، وَوَضَعُوا عَلَيْهِ ٱلصَّلِيبَ لِيَحْمِلَهُ خَلْفَ يَسُوعَ.

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

27 وَتَبِعَهُ جُمْهُورٌ كَثِيرٌ مِنَ ٱلشَّعْبِ، وَٱلنِّسَاءِ ٱللَّوَاتِي كُنَّ يَلْطِمْنَ أَيْضًا وَيَنُحْنَ عَلَيْهِ.

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 فَٱلْتَفَتَ إِلَيْهِنَّ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ: «يَا بَنَاتِ أُورُشَلِيمَ، لَا تَبْكِينَ عَلَيَّ بَلِ ٱبْكِينَ عَلَى أَنْفُسِكُنَّ وَعَلَى أَوْلَادِكُنَّ،

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 لِأَنَّهُ هُوَذَا أَيَّامٌ تَأْتِي يَقُولُونَ فِيهَا: طُوبَى لِلْعَوَاقِرِ وَٱلْبُطُونِ ٱلَّتِي لَمْ تَلِدْ وَٱلثُّدِيِّ ٱلَّتِي لَمْ تُرْضِعْ!

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

30 حِينَئِذٍ يَبْتَدِئُونَ يَقُولُونَ لِلْجِبَالِ: ٱسْقُطِي عَلَيْنَا! وَلِلْآكَامِ: غَطِّينَا!

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

31 لِأَنَّهُ إِنْ كَانُوا بِٱلْعُودِ ٱلرَّطْبِ يَفْعَلُونَ هَذَا، فَمَاذَا يَكُونُ بِٱلْيَابِسِ؟».

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

32 وَجَاءُوا أَيْضًا بِٱثْنَيْنِ آخَرَيْنِ مُذْنِبَيْنِ لِيُقْتَلَا مَعَهُ.

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 مَضَوْا بِهِ إِلَى ٱلْمَوْضِعِ ٱلَّذِي يُدْعَى «جُمْجُمَةَ» صَلَبُوهُ هُنَاكَ مَعَ ٱلْمُذْنِبَيْنِ، وَاحِدًا عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَٱلْآخَرَ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ.

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 فَقَالَ يَسُوعُ: «يَا أَبَتَاهُ، ٱغْفِرْ لَهُمْ، لِأَنَّهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ مَاذَا يَفْعَلُونَ». وَإِذِ ٱقْتَسَمُوا ثِيَابَهُ ٱقْتَرَعُوا 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 وَكَانَ ٱلشَّعْبُ وَاقِفِينَ يَنْظُرُونَ، وَٱلرُّؤَسَاءُ أَيْضًا مَعَهُمْ يَسْخَرُونَ بِهِ قَائِلِينَ: «خَلَّصَ آخَرِينَ، فَلْيُخَلِّصْ نَفْسَهُ إِنْ كَانَ هُوَ ٱلْمَسِيحَ مُخْتَارَ ٱللهِ!».

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

36 وَٱلْجُنْدُ أَيْضًا ٱسْتَهْزَأُوا بِهِ وَهُمْ يَأْتُونَ وَيُقَدِّمُونَ لَهُ خَلًّا،

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

37 قَائِلِينَ: «إِنْ كُنْتَ أَنْتَ مَلِكَ ٱلْيَهُودِ فَخَلِّصْ نَفْسَكَ!».

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

38 وَكَانَ عُنْوَانٌ مَكْتُوبٌ فَوْقَهُ بِأَحْرُفٍ يُونَانِيَّةٍ وَرُومَانِيَّةٍ وَعِبْرَانِيَّةٍ: «هَذَا هُوَ مَلِكُ ٱلْيَهُودِ».

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

39 وَكَانَ وَاحِدٌ مِنَ ٱلْمُذْنِبَيْنِ ٱلْمُعَلَّقَيْنِ يُجَدِّفُ عَلَيْهِ قَائِلًا: «إِنْ كُنْتَ أَنْتَ ٱلْمَسِيحَ، فَخَلِّصْ نَفْسَكَ وَإِيَّانَا!».

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

40 فَأجَابَ ٱلْآخَرُ وَٱنْتَهَرَهُ قَائِلًا: «أَوَلَا أَنْتَ تَخَافُ ٱللهَ، إِذْ أَنْتَ تَحْتَ هَذَا ٱلْحُكْمِ بِعَيْنِهِ؟

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

41 أَمَّا نَحْنُ فَبِعَدْلٍ، لِأَنَّنَا نَنَالُ ٱسْتِحْقَاقَ مَا فَعَلْنَا، وَأَمَّا هَذَا فَلَمْ يَفْعَلْ شَيْئًا لَيْسَ فِي مَحَلِّهِ».

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

42 ثُمَّ قَالَ لِيَسُوعَ: «ٱذْكُرْنِي يَارَبُّ مَتَى جِئْتَ فِي مَلَكُوتِكَ».

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

43 فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «ٱلْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكَ: إِنَّكَ ٱلْيَوْمَ تَكُونُ مَعِي فِي ٱلْفِرْدَوْسِ».

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

44 وَكَانَ نَحْوُ ٱلسَّاعَةِ ٱلسَّادِسَةِ، فَكَانَتْ ظُلْمَةٌ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا إِلَى ٱلسَّاعَةِ ٱلتَّاسِعَةِ.

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

45 وَأَظْلَمَتِ ٱلشَّمْسُ، وَٱنْشَقَّ حِجَابُ ٱلْهَيْكَلِ مِنْ وَسْطِهِ.

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 وَنَادَى يَسُوعُ بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ وَقَالَ: «يَا أَبَتَاهُ، فِي يَدَيْكَ أَسْتَوْدِعُ رُوحِي». وَلَمَّا قَالَ هَذَا أَسْلَمَ ٱلرُّوحَ.

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

47 فَلَمَّا رَأَى قَائِدُ ٱلْمِئَةِ مَا كَانَ، مَجَّدَ ٱللهَ قَائِلًا: «بِٱلْحَقِيقَةِ كَانَ هَذَا ٱلْإِنْسَانُ بَارًّا!».

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

48 وَكُلُّ ٱلْجُمُوعِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا مُجْتَمِعِينَ لِهَذَا ٱلْمَنْظَرِ، لَمَّا أَبْصَرُوا مَا كَانَ، رَجَعُوا وَهُمْ يَقْرَعُونَ صُدُورَهُمْ.

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

49 وَكَانَ جَمِيعُ مَعَارِفِهِ، وَنِسَاءٌ كُنَّ قَدْ تَبِعْنَهُ مِنَ ٱلْجَلِيلِ، وَاقِفِينَ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ يَنْظُرُونَ ذَلِكَ.

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

50 وَإِذَا رَجُلٌ ٱسْمُهُ يُوسُفُ، وَكَانَ مُشِيرًا وَرَجُلًا صَالِحًا بَارًّا.

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 هَذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ مُوافِقًا لِرَأْيِهِمْ وَعَمَلِهِمْ، وَهُوَ مِنَ ٱلرَّامَةِ مَدِينَةٍ لِلْيَهُودِ. وَكَانَ هُوَ أَيْضًا يَنْتَظِرُ مَلَكُوتَ ٱللهِ.

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

52 هَذَا تَقَدَّمَ إِلَى بِيلَاطُسَ وَطَلَبَ جَسَدَ 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 وَأَنْزَلَهُ، وَلَفَّهُ بِكَتَّانٍ، وَوَضَعَهُ فِي قَبْرٍ مَنْحُوتٍ حَيْثُ لَمْ يَكُنْ أَحَدٌ وُضِعَ قَطُّ.

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

54 وَكَانَ يَوْمُ ٱلِٱسْتِعْدَادِ وَٱلسَّبْتُ يَلُوحُ.

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

55 وَتَبِعَتْهُ نِسَاءٌ كُنَّ قَدْ أَتَيْنَ مَعَهُ مِنَ ٱلْجَلِيلِ، وَنَظَرْنَ ٱلْقَبْرَ وَكَيْفَ وُضِعَ جَسَدُهُ.

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

56 فَرَجَعْنَ وَأَعْدَدْنَ حَنُوطًا وَأَطْيَابًا. وَفِي ٱلسَّبْتِ ٱسْتَرَحْنَ حَسَبَ ٱلْوَصِيَّةِ.
