Matthew 26

1 When Jesus had finished saying all these things, He told His disciples,

1 وَلَمَّا أَكْمَلَ يَسُوعُ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَقْوَالَ كُلَّهَا قَالَ لِتَلَامِيذِهِ:

2 “You know that the Passover is two days away, and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified.”

2 «تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّهُ بَعْدَ يَوْمَيْنِ يَكُونُ ٱلْفِصْحُ، وَٱبْنُ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ يُسَلَّمُ لِيُصْلَبَ».

3 At that time the chief priests and elders of the people assembled in the courtyard of the high priest, whose name was Caiaphas,

3 حِينَئِذٍ ٱجْتَمَعَ رُؤَسَاءُ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَٱلْكَتَبَةُ وَشُيُوخُ ٱلشَّعْبِ إِلَى دَارِ رَئِيسِ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ ٱلَّذِي يُدْعَى قَيَافَا،

4 and they conspired to arrest Jesus covertly and kill Him.

4 وَتَشَاوَرُوا لِكَيْ يُمْسِكُوا يَسُوعَ بِمَكْرٍ وَيَقْتُلُوهُ.

5 “But not during the feast,” they said, “or there may be a riot among the people.”

5 وَلَكِنَّهُمْ قَالُوا: «لَيْسَ فِي ٱلْعِيدِ لِئَلَّا يَكُونَ شَغَبٌ فِي ٱلشَّعْبِ».

6 While Jesus was in Bethany in the home of Simon the Leper,

6 وَفِيمَا كَانَ يَسُوعُ فِي بَيْتِ عَنْيَا فِي بَيْتِ سِمْعَانَ ٱلْأَبْرَصِ،

7 a woman came to Him with an alabaster jar of expensive perfume, which she poured on His head as He reclined at the table.

7 تَقَدَّمَتْ إِلَيْهِ ٱمْرَأَةٌ مَعَهَا قَارُورَةُ طِيبٍ كَثِيرِ ٱلثَّمَنِ، فَسَكَبَتْهُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ وَهُوَ مُتَّكِئٌ.

8 When the disciples saw this, they were indignant and asked, “Why this waste?

8 فَلَمَّا رَأَى تَلَامِيذُهُ ذَلِكَ ٱغْتَاظُوا قَائِلِينَ: «لِمَاذَا هَذَا ٱلْإِتْلَافُ؟

9 This perfume could have been sold at a high price, and the money given to the poor.”

9 لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ يُمْكِنُ أَنْ يُبَاعَ هَذَا ٱلطِّيبُ بِكَثِيرٍ وَيُعْطَى لِلْفُقَرَاءِ».

10 Aware of this, Jesus asked, “Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a beautiful deed to Me.

10 فَعَلِمَ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «لِمَاذَا تُزْعِجُونَ ٱلْمَرْأَةَ؟ فَإِنَّهَا قَدْ عَمِلَتْ بِي عَمَلًا حَسَنًا!

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

11 لِأَنَّ ٱلْفُقَرَاءَ مَعَكُمْ فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ، وَأَمَّا أَنَا فَلَسْتُ مَعَكُمْ فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ.

12 By pouring this perfume on Me, she has prepared My body for burial.

12 فَإِنَّهَا إِذْ سَكَبَتْ هَذَا ٱلطِّيبَ عَلَى جَسَدِي إِنَّمَا فَعَلَتْ ذَلِكَ لِأَجْلِ تَكْفِينِي.

13 Truly I tell you, wherever this gospel is preached in all the world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her.”

13 اَلْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: حَيْثُمَا يُكْرَزْ بِهَذَا ٱلْإِنْجِيلِ فِي كُلِّ ٱلْعَالَمِ، يُخْبَرْ أَيْضًا بِمَا فَعَلَتْهُ هَذِهِ تَذْكَارًا لَهَا».

14 Then one of the Twelve, the one called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests

14 حِينَئِذٍ ذَهَبَ وَاحِدٌ مِنَ ٱلِٱثْنَيْ عَشَرَ، ٱلَّذِي يُدْعَى يَهُوذَا ٱلْإِسْخَرْيُوطِيَّ، إِلَى رُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ

15 and asked, “What are you willing to give me if I hand Him over to you?” And they set out for him thirty pieces of silver.

15 وَقَالَ: «مَاذَا تُرِيدُونَ أَنْ تُعْطُونِي وَأَنَا أُسَلِّمُهُ إِلَيْكُمْ؟». فَجَعَلُوا لَهُ ثَلَاثِينَ مِنَ ٱلْفِضَّةِ.

16 So from then on Judas looked for an opportunity to betray Jesus.

16 وَمِنْ ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ كَانَ يَطْلُبُ فُرْصَةً لِيُسَلِّمَهُ.

17 On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?”

17 وَفِي أَوَّلِ أَيَّامِ ٱلْفَطِيرِ تَقَدَّمَ ٱلتَّلَامِيذُ إِلَى يَسُوعَ قَائِلِينَ لَهُ: «أَيْنَ تُرِيدُ أَنْ نُعِدَّ لَكَ لِتَأْكُلَ ٱلْفِصْحَ؟».

18 He answered, “Go into the city to a certain man and tell him that the Teacher says, ‘My time is near. I will keep the Passover with My disciples at your house.’”

18 فَقَالَ: «ٱذْهَبُوا إِلَى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، إِلَى فُلَانٍ وَقُولُوا لَهُ: ٱلْمُعَلِّمُ يَقُولُ: إِنَّ وَقْتِي قَرِيبٌ. عِنْدَكَ أَصْنَعُ ٱلْفِصْحَ مَعَ تَلَامِيذِي».

19 So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover.

19 فَفَعَلَ ٱلتَّلَامِيذُ كَمَا أَمَرَهُمْ يَسُوعُ وَأَعَدُّوا ٱلْفِصْحَ.

20 When evening came, Jesus was reclining with the twelve disciples.

20 وَلَمَّا كَانَ ٱلْمَسَاءُ ٱتَّكَأَ مَعَ ٱلِٱثْنَيْ عَشَرَ.

21 And while they were eating, He said to them, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray Me.”

21 وَفِيمَا هُمْ يَأْكُلُونَ قَالَ: «ٱلْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ وَاحِدًا مِنْكُمْ يُسَلِّمُنِي».

22 They were deeply grieved and began to ask Him one after another, “Surely not I, Lord?”

22 فَحَزِنُوا جِدًّا، وَٱبْتَدَأَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ يَقُولُ لَهُ: «هَلْ أَنَا هُوَ يَارَبُّ؟».

23 Jesus answered, “The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with Me will betray Me.

23 فَأَجَابَ وَقَالَ: «ٱلَّذِي يَغْمِسُ يَدَهُ مَعِي فِي ٱلصَّحْفَةِ هُوَ يُسَلِّمُنِي!

24 The Son of Man will go just as it is written about Him, but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed. It would be better for him if he had not been born.”

24 إِنَّ ٱبْنَ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ مَاضٍ كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ عَنْهُ، وَلَكِنْ وَيْلٌ لِذَلِكَ ٱلرَّجُلِ ٱلَّذِي بِهِ يُسَلَّمُ ٱبْنُ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ. كَانَ خَيْرًا لِذَلِكَ ٱلرَّجُلِ لَوْ لَمْ يُولَدْ!».

25 Then Judas, who would betray Him, said, “Surely not I, Rabbi?” Jesus answered, “You have said it yourself.”

25 فَأَجَابَ يَهُوذَا مُسَلِّمُهُ وَقَالَ: «هَلْ أَنَا هُوَ يا سَيِّدِي؟». قَالَ لَهُ: «أَنْتَ قُلْتَ».

26 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to the disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is My body.”

26 وَفِيمَا هُمْ يَأْكُلُونَ أَخَذَ يَسُوعُ ٱلْخُبْزَ، وَبَارَكَ وَكَسَّرَ وَأَعْطَى ٱلتَّلَامِيذَ وَقَالَ: «خُذُوا كُلُوا. هَذَا هُوَ جَسَدِي».

27 Then He took the cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you.

27 وَأَخَذَ ٱلْكَأْسَ وَشَكَرَ وَأَعْطَاهُمْ قَائِلًا: «ٱشْرَبُوا مِنْهَا كُلُّكُمْ،

28 This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.

28 لِأَنَّ هَذَا هُوَ دَمِي ٱلَّذِي لِلْعَهْدِ ٱلْجَدِيدِ ٱلَّذِي يُسْفَكُ مِنْ أَجْلِ كَثِيرِينَ لِمَغْفِرَةِ ٱلْخَطَايَا.

29 I tell you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it anew with you in My Father’s kingdom.”

29 وَأَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنِّي مِنَ ٱلْآنَ لَا أَشْرَبُ مِنْ نِتَاجِ ٱلْكَرْمَةِ هَذَا إِلَى ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ حِينَمَا أَشْرَبُهُ مَعَكُمْ جَدِيدًا فِي مَلَكُوتِ أَبِي».

30 And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

30 ثُمَّ سَبَّحُوا وَخَرَجُوا إِلَى جَبَلِ ٱلزَّيْتُونِ.

31 Then Jesus said to them, “This very night you will all fall away on account of Me. For it is written: ‘I will strike the Shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’

31 حِينَئِذٍ قَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «كُلُّكُمْ تَشُكُّونَ فِيَّ فِي هَذِهِ ٱللَّيْلَةِ، لِأَنَّهُ مَكْتُوبٌ: أَنِّي أَضْرِبُ ٱلرَّاعِيَ فَتَتَبَدَّدُ خِرَافُ ٱلرَّعِيَّةِ.

32 But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.”

32 وَلَكِنْ بَعْدَ قِيَامِي أَسْبِقُكُمْ إِلَى ٱلْجَلِيلِ».

33 Peter said to Him, “Even if all fall away on account of You, I never will.”

33 فَأَجَابَ بُطْرُسُ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «وَإِنْ شَكَّ فِيكَ ٱلْجَمِيعُ فَأَنَا لَا أَشُكُّ أَبَدًا».

34 “Truly I tell you,” Jesus declared, “this very night, before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.”

34 قَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «ٱلْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكَ: إِنَّكَ فِي هَذِهِ ٱللَّيْلَةِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَصِيحَ دِيكٌ تُنْكِرُنِي ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ».

35 Peter replied, “Even if I have to die with You, I will never deny You.” And all the other disciples said the same thing.

35 قَالَ لَهُ بُطْرُسُ: «وَلَوِ ٱضْطُرِرْتُ أَنْ أَمُوتَ مَعَكَ لَا أُنْكِرُكَ!». هَكَذَا قَالَ أَيْضًا جَمِيعُ ٱلتَّلَامِيذِ.

36 Then Jesus went with His disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and He told them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.”

36 حِينَئِذٍ جَاءَ مَعَهُمْ يَسُوعُ إِلَى ضَيْعَةٍ يُقَالُ لَهَا جَثْسَيْمَانِي، فَقَالَ لِلتَّلَامِيذِ: «ٱجْلِسُوا هَهُنَا حَتَّى أَمْضِيَ وَأُصَلِّيَ هُنَاكَ».

37 He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee and began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed.

37 ثُمَّ أَخَذَ مَعَهُ بُطْرُسَ وَٱبْنَيْ زَبْدِي، وَٱبْتَدَأَ يَحْزَنُ وَيَكْتَئِبُ.

38 Then He said to them, “My soul is consumed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with Me.”

38 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «نَفْسِي حَزِينَةٌ جِدًّا حَتَّى ٱلْمَوْتِ. اُمْكُثُوا هَهُنَا وَٱسْهَرُوا مَعِي».

39 Going a little farther, He fell facedown and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me. Yet not as I will, but as You will.”

39 ثُمَّ تَقَدَّمَ قَلِيلًا وَخَرَّ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ، وَكَانَ يُصَلِّي قَائِلًا: «يَا أَبَتَاهُ، إِنْ أَمْكَنَ فَلْتَعْبُرْ عَنِّي هَذِهِ ٱلْكَأْسُ، وَلَكِنْ لَيْسَ كَمَا أُرِيدُ أَنَا بَلْ كَمَا تُرِيدُ أَنْتَ».

40 Then Jesus returned to the disciples and found them sleeping. “Were you not able to keep watch with Me for one hour?” He asked Peter.

40 ثُمَّ جَاءَ إِلَى ٱلتَّلَامِيذِ فَوَجَدَهُمْ نِيَامًا، فَقَالَ لِبُطْرُسَ: «أَهَكَذَا مَا قَدَرْتُمْ أَنْ تَسْهَرُوا مَعِي سَاعَةً وَاحِدَةً؟

41 “Watch and pray so that you will not enter into temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”

41 اِسْهَرُوا وَصَلُّوا لِئَلَّا تَدْخُلُوا فِي تَجْرِبَةٍ. أَمَّا ٱلرُّوحُ فَنَشِيطٌ وَأَمَّا ٱلْجَسَدُ فَضَعِيفٌ».

42 A second time He went away and prayed, “My Father, if this cup cannot pass unless I drink it, may Your will be done.”

42 فَمَضَى أَيْضًا ثَانِيَةً وَصَلَّى قَائِلًا: «يَا أَبَتَاهُ، إِنْ لَمْ يُمْكِنْ أَنْ تَعْبُرَ عَنِّي هَذِهِ ٱلْكَأْسُ إِلَّا أَنْ أَشْرَبَهَا، فَلْتَكُنْ مَشِيئَتُكَ».

43 And again Jesus returned and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.

43 ثُمَّ جَاءَ فَوَجَدَهُمْ أَيْضًا نِيَامًا، إِذْ كَانَتْ أَعْيُنُهُمْ ثَقِيلَةً.

44 So He left them and went away once more and prayed a third time, saying the same thing.

44 فَتَرَكَهُمْ وَمَضَى أَيْضًا وَصَلَّى ثَالِثَةً قَائِلًا ذَلِكَ ٱلْكَلَامَ بِعَيْنِهِ.

45 Then He returned to the disciples and said, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Look, the hour is near, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

45 ثُمَّ جَاءَ إِلَى تَلَامِيذِهِ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «نَامُوا ٱلْآنَ وَٱسْتَرِيحُوا! هُوَذَا ٱلسَّاعَةُ قَدِ ٱقْتَرَبَتْ، وَٱبْنُ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ يُسَلَّمُ إِلَى أَيْدِي ٱلْخُطَاةِ.

46 Rise, let us go! See, My betrayer is approaching!”

46 قُومُوا نَنْطَلِقْ! هُوَذَا ٱلَّذِي يُسَلِّمُنِي قَدِ ٱقْتَرَبَ!».

47 While Jesus was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived, accompanied by a large crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and elders of the people.

47 وَفِيمَا هُوَ يَتَكَلَّمُ، إِذَا يَهُوذَا أَحَدُ ٱلِٱثْنَيْ عَشَرَ قَدْ جَاءَ وَمَعَهُ جَمْعٌ كَثِيرٌ بِسُيُوفٍ وَعِصِيٍّ مِنْ عِنْدِ رُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَشُيُوخِ ٱلشَّعْبِ.

48 Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The One I kiss is the man; arrest Him.”

48 وَٱلَّذِي أَسْلَمَهُ أَعْطَاهُمْ عَلَامَةً قَائِلًا: «ٱلَّذِي أُقَبِّلُهُ هُوَ هُوَ. أَمْسِكُوهُ».

49 Going directly to Jesus, he said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed Him.

49 فَلِلْوَقْتِ تَقَدَّمَ إِلَى يَسُوعَ وَقَالَ: «ٱلسَّلَامُ يا سَيِّدِي!» وَقَبَّلَهُ.

50 “Friend,” Jesus replied, “do what you came for.” Then the men stepped forward, seized Jesus, and arrested Him.

50 فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «يَا صَاحِبُ، لِمَاذَا جِئْتَ؟». حِينَئِذٍ تَقَدَّمُوا وَأَلْقَوْا ٱلْأَيَادِيَ عَلَى يَسُوعَ وَأَمْسَكُوهُ.

51 At this, one of Jesus’ companions drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.

51 وَإِذَا وَاحِدٌ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَ يَسُوعَ مَدَّ يَدَهُ وَٱسْتَلَّ سَيْفَهُ وَضَرَبَ عَبْدَ رَئِيسِ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ، فَقَطَعَ أُذْنَهُ.

52 “Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him. “For all who draw the sword will die by the sword.

52 فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «رُدَّ سَيْفَكَ إِلَى مَكَانِهِ. لِأَنَّ كُلَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَأْخُذُونَ ٱلسَّيْفَ بِٱلسَّيْفِ يَهْلِكُونَ!

53 Are you not aware that I can call on My Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve legions of angels?

53 أَتَظُنُّ أَنِّي لَا أَسْتَطِيعُ ٱلْآنَ أَنْ أَطْلُبَ إِلَى أَبِي فَيُقَدِّمَ لِي أَكْثَرَ مِنِ ٱثْنَيْ عَشَرَ جَيْشًا مِنَ ٱلْمَلَائِكَةِ؟

54 But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen this way?”

54 فَكَيْفَ تُكَمَّلُ ٱلْكُتُبُ: أَنَّهُ هَكَذَا يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يَكُونَ؟».

55 At that time Jesus said to the crowd, “Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me as you would an outlaw? Every day I sat teaching in the temple courts, and you did not arrest Me.

55 فِي تِلْكَ ٱلسَّاعَةِ قَالَ يَسُوعُ لِلْجُمُوعِ: «كَأَنَّهُ عَلَى لِصٍّ خَرَجْتُمْ بِسُيُوفٍ وَعِصِيٍّ لِتَأْخُذُونِي! كُلَّ يَوْمٍ كُنْتُ أَجْلِسُ مَعَكُمْ أُعَلِّمُ فِي ٱلْهَيْكَلِ وَلَمْ تُمْسِكُونِي.

56 But this has all happened so that the writings of the prophets would be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples deserted Him and fled.

56 وَأَمَّا هَذَا كُلُّهُ فَقَدْ كَانَ لِكَيْ تُكَمَّلَ كُتُبُ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ». حِينَئِذٍ تَرَكَهُ ٱلتَّلَامِيذُ كُلُّهُمْ وَهَرَبُوا.

57 Those who had arrested Jesus led Him away to the house of Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and elders had gathered.

57 وَٱلَّذِينَ أَمْسَكُوا يَسُوعَ مَضَوْا بِهِ إِلَى قَيَافَا رَئِيسِ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ، حَيْثُ ٱجْتَمَعَ ٱلْكَتَبَةُ وَٱلشُّيُوخُ.

58 But Peter followed Him at a distance, right up to the courtyard of the high priest. And he went in and sat down with the guards to see the outcome.

58 وَأَمَّا بُطْرُسُ فَتَبِعَهُ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ إِلَى دَارِ رَئِيسِ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ، فَدَخَلَ إِلَى دَاخِلٍ وَجَلَسَ بَيْنَ ٱلْخُدَّامِ لِيَنْظُرَ ٱلنِّهَايَةَ.

59 Now the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were seeking false testimony against Jesus in order to put Him to death.

59 وَكَانَ رُؤَسَاءُ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَٱلشُّيُوخُ وَٱلْمَجْمَعُ كُلُّهُ يَطْلُبُونَ شَهَادَةَ زُورٍ عَلَى يَسُوعَ لِكَيْ يَقْتُلُوهُ،

60 But they did not find any, though many false witnesses came forward. Finally two came forward

60 فَلَمْ يَجِدُوا. وَمَعَ أَنَّهُ جَاءَ شُهُودُ زُورٍ كَثِيرُونَ، لَمْ يَجِدُوا. وَلَكِنْ أَخِيرًا تَقَدَّمَ شَاهِدَا زُورٍ

61 and declared, “This man said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God and rebuild it in three days.’”

61 وَقَالَا: «هَذَا قَالَ: إِنِّي أَقْدِرُ أَنْ أَنْقُضَ هَيْكَلَ ٱللهِ، وَفِي ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ أَبْنِيهِ».

62 So the high priest stood up and asked Him, “Have You no answer? What are these men testifying against You?”

62 فَقَامَ رَئِيسُ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «أَمَا تُجِيبُ بِشَيْءٍ؟ مَاذَا يَشْهَدُ بِهِ هَذَانِ عَلَيْكَ؟».

63 But Jesus remained silent. Then the high priest said to Him, “I charge You under oath by the living God: Tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God.”

63 وَأَمَّا يَسُوعُ فَكَانَ سَاكِتًا. فَأَجَابَ رَئِيسُ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «أَسْتَحْلِفُكَ بِٱللهِ ٱلْحَيِّ أَنْ تَقُولَ لَنَا: هَلْ أَنْتَ ٱلْمَسِيحُ ٱبْنُ ٱللهِ؟».

64 “You have said it yourself,” Jesus answered. “But I say to all of you, from now on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power and coming on the clouds of heaven.”

64 قَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «أَنْتَ قُلْتَ! وَأَيْضًا أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: مِنَ ٱلْآنَ تُبْصِرُونَ ٱبْنَ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ جَالِسًا عَنْ يَمِينِ ٱلْقُوَّةِ، وَآتِيًا عَلَى سَحَابِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ».

65 At this, the high priest tore his clothes and declared, “He has blasphemed! Why do we need any more witnesses? Look, now you have heard the blasphemy.

65 فَمَزَّقَ رَئِيسُ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ حِينَئِذٍ ثِيَابَهُ قَائِلًا: «قَدْ جَدَّفَ! مَا حَاجَتُنَا بَعْدُ إِلَى شُهُودٍ؟ هَا قَدْ سَمِعْتُمْ تَجْدِيفَهُ!

66 What do you think?” “He deserves to die,” they answered.

66 مَاذَا تَرَوْنَ؟». فَأَجَابُوا وَقَالُوا: «إِنَّهُ مُسْتَوْجِبُ ٱلْمَوْتِ».

67 Then they spit in His face and struck Him. Others slapped Him

67 حِينَئِذٍ بَصَقُوا فِي وَجْهِهِ وَلَكَمُوهُ، وَآخَرُونَ لَطَمُوهُ

68 and said, “Prophesy to us, Christ! Who hit You?”

68 قَائِلِينَ: «تَنَبَّأْ لَنَا أَيُّهَا ٱلْمَسِيحُ، مَنْ ضَرَبَكَ؟».

69 Meanwhile, Peter was sitting out in the courtyard, and a servant girl came up to him. “You also were with Jesus the Galilean,” she said.

69 أَمَّا بُطْرُسُ فَكَانَ جَالِسًا خَارِجًا فِي ٱلدَّارِ، فَجَاءَتْ إِلَيْهِ جَارِيَةٌ قَائِلَةً: «وَأَنْتَ كُنْتَ مَعَ يَسُوعَ ٱلْجَلِيلِيِّ!».

70 But he denied it before them all: “I do not know what you are talking about.”

70 فَأَنْكَرَ قُدَّامَ ٱلْجَمِيعِ قَائِلًا: «لَسْتُ أَدْرِي مَا تَقُولِينَ!».

71 When Peter had gone out to the gateway, another servant girl saw him and said to the people there, “This man was with Jesus of Nazareth.”

71 ثُمَّ إِذْ خَرَجَ إِلَى ٱلدِّهْلِيزِ رَأَتْهُ أُخْرَى، فَقَالَتْ لِلَّذِينَ هُنَاكَ: «وَهَذَا كَانَ مَعَ يَسُوعَ ٱلنَّاصِرِيِّ!».

72 And again he denied it with an oath: “I do not know the man!”

72 فَأَنْكَرَ أَيْضًا بِقَسَمٍ: «إِنِّي لَسْتُ أَعْرِفُ ٱلرَّجُلَ!».

73 After a little while, those standing nearby came up to Peter. “Surely you are one of them,” they said, “for your accent gives you away.”

73 وَبَعْدَ قَلِيلٍ جَاءَ ٱلْقِيَامُ وَقَالُوا لِبُطْرُسَ: «حَقًّا أَنْتَ أَيْضًا مِنْهُمْ، فَإِنَّ لُغَتَكَ تُظْهِرُكَ!».

74 At that he began to curse and swear to them, “I do not know the man!” And immediately a rooster crowed.

74 فَٱبْتَدَأَ حِينَئِذٍ يَلْعَنُ وَيَحْلِفُ: «إِنِّي لَا أَعْرِفُ ٱلرَّجُلَ!». وَلِلْوَقْتِ صَاحَ ٱلدِّيكُ.

75 Then Peter remembered the word that Jesus had spoken: “Before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.” And he went outside and wept bitterly.

75 فَتَذَكَّرَ بُطْرُسُ كَلَامَ يَسُوعَ ٱلَّذِي قَالَ لَهُ: «إِنَّكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَصِيحَ ٱلدِّيكُ تُنْكِرُنِي ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ». فَخَرَجَ إِلَى خَارِجٍ وَبَكَى بُكَاءً مُرًّا.
