Matthew 27

1 When morning came, all the chief priests and elders of the people conspired against Jesus to put Him to death.

1 وَلَمَّا كَانَ ٱلصَّبَاحُ تَشَاوَرَ جَمِيعُ رُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَشُيُوخُ ٱلشَّعْبِ عَلَى يَسُوعَ حَتَّى يَقْتُلُوهُ،

2 They bound Him, led Him away, and handed Him over to Pilate the governor.

2 فَأَوْثَقُوهُ وَمَضَوْا بِهِ وَدَفَعُوهُ إِلَى بِيلَاطُسَ ٱلْبُنْطِيِّ ٱلْوَالِي.

3 When Judas, who had betrayed Him, saw that Jesus was condemned, he was filled with remorse and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders.

3 حِينَئِذٍ لَمَّا رَأَى يَهُوذَا ٱلَّذِي أَسْلَمَهُ أَنَّهُ قَدْ دِينَ، نَدِمَ وَرَدَّ ٱلثَّلَاثِينَ مِنَ ٱلْفِضَّةِ إِلَى رُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَٱلشُّيُوخِ

4 “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood,” he said. “What is that to us?” they replied. “You bear the responsibility.”

4 قَائِلًا: «قَدْ أَخْطَأْتُ إِذْ سَلَّمْتُ دَمًا بَرِيئًا». فَقَالُوا: «مَاذَا عَلَيْنَا؟ أَنْتَ أَبْصِرْ!».

5 So Judas threw the silver into the temple and left. Then he went away and hanged himself.

5 فَطَرَحَ ٱلْفِضَّةَ فِي ٱلْهَيْكَلِ وَٱنْصَرَفَ، ثُمَّ مَضَى وَخَنَقَ نَفْسَهُ.

6 The chief priests picked up the pieces of silver and said, “It is unlawful to put this into the treasury, since it is blood money.”

6 فَأَخَذَ رُؤَسَاءُ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ ٱلْفِضَّةَ وَقَالُوا: «لَا يَحِلُّ أَنْ نُلْقِيَهَا فِي ٱلْخِزَانَةِ لِأَنَّهَا ثَمَنُ دَمٍ».

7 After conferring together, they used the money to buy the potter’s field as a burial place for foreigners.

7 فَتَشَاوَرُوا وَٱشْتَرَوْا بِهَا حَقْلَ ٱلْفَخَّارِيِّ مَقْبَرَةً لِلْغُرَبَاءِ.

8 That is why it has been called the Field of Blood to this day.

8 لِهَذَا سُمِّيَ ذَلِكَ ٱلْحَقْلُ «حَقْلَ ٱلدَّمِ» إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ.

9 Then what was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled: “They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price set on Him by the people of Israel,

9 حِينَئِذٍ تَمَّ مَا قِيلَ بِإِرْمِيَا ٱلنَّبِيِّ ٱلْقَائِلِ: «وَأَخَذُوا ٱلثَّلَاثِينَ مِنَ ٱلْفِضَّةِ، ثَمَنَ ٱلْمُثَمَّنِ ٱلَّذِي ثَمَّنُوهُ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ،

10 and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord had commanded me.”

10 وَأَعْطَوْهَا عَنْ حَقْلِ ٱلْفَخَّارِيِّ، كَمَا أَمَرَنِي ٱلرَّبُّ».

11 Meanwhile Jesus stood before the governor, who questioned Him: “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

11 فَوَقَفَ يَسُوعُ أَمَامَ ٱلْوَالِي. فَسَأَلَهُ ٱلْوَالِي قَائِلًا: «أَأَنْتَ مَلِكُ ٱلْيَهُودِ؟». فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «أَنْتَ تَقُولُ».

12 And when He was accused by the chief priests and elders, He gave no answer.

12 وَبَيْنَمَا كَانَ رُؤَسَاءُ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَٱلشُّيُوخُ يَشْتَكُونَ عَلَيْهِ لَمْ يُجِبْ بِشَيْءٍ.

13 Then Pilate asked Him, “Do You not hear how many charges they are bringing against You?”

13 فَقَالَ لَهُ بِيلَاطُسُ: «أَمَا تَسْمَعُ كَمْ يَشْهَدُونَ عَلَيْكَ؟».

14 But Jesus gave no answer, not even to a single charge, much to the governor’s amazement.

14 فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ وَلَا عَنْ كَلِمَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ، حَتَّى تَعَجَّبَ ٱلْوَالِي جِدًّا.

15 Now it was the governor’s custom at the feast to release to the crowd a prisoner of their choosing.

15 وَكَانَ ٱلْوَالِي مُعْتَادًا فِي ٱلْعِيدِ أَنْ يُطْلِقَ لِلْجَمْعِ أَسِيرًا وَاحِدًا، مَنْ أَرَادُوهُ.

16 At that time they were holding a notorious prisoner named Barabbas.

16 وَكَانَ لَهُمْ حِينَئِذٍ أَسِيرٌ مَشْهُورٌ يُسَمَّى بَارَابَاسَ.

17 So when the crowd had assembled, Pilate asked them, “Which one do you want me to release to you: Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?”

17 فَفِيمَا هُمْ مُجْتَمِعُونَ قَالَ لَهُمْ بِيلَاطُسُ: «مَنْ تُرِيدُونَ أَنْ أُطْلِقَ لَكُمْ؟ بَارَابَاسَ أَمْ يَسُوعَ ٱلَّذِي يُدْعَى ٱلْمَسِيحَ؟».

18 For he knew it was out of envy that they had handed Jesus over to him.

18 لِأَنَّهُ عَلِمَ أَنَّهُمْ أَسْلَمُوهُ حَسَدًا.

19 While Pilate was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent him this message: “Have nothing to do with that innocent man, for I have suffered terribly in a dream today because of Him.”

19 وَإِذْ كَانَ جَالِسًا عَلَى كُرْسِيِّ ٱلْوِلَايَةِ أَرْسَلَتْ إِلَيْهِ ٱمْرَأَتُهُ قَائِلَةً: «إِيَّاكَ وَذَلِكَ ٱلْبَارَّ، لِأَنِّي تَأَلَّمْتُ ٱلْيَوْمَ كَثِيرًا فِي حُلْمٍ مِنْ أَجْلِهِ».

20 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus put to death.

20 وَلَكِنَّ رُؤَسَاءَ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَٱلشُّيُوخَ حَرَّضُوا ٱلْجُمُوعَ عَلَى أَنْ يَطْلُبُوا بَارَابَاسَ وَيُهْلِكُوا يَسُوعَ.

21 “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” asked the governor. “Barabbas,” they replied.

21 فَأجَابَ ٱلْوَالِي وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «مَنْ مِنْ ٱلِٱثْنَيْنِ تُرِيدُونَ أَنْ أُطْلِقَ لَكُمْ؟». فَقَالُوا: «بَارَابَاسَ!».

22 “What then should I do with Jesus who is called Christ?” Pilate asked. They all answered, “Crucify Him!”

22 قَالَ لَهُمْ بِيلَاطُسُ: «فَمَاذَا أَفْعَلُ بِيَسُوعَ ٱلَّذِي يُدْعَى ٱلْمَسِيحَ؟». قَالَ لَهُ ٱلْجَمِيعُ: «لِيُصْلَبْ!».

23 “Why?” asked Pilate. “What evil has He done?” But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify Him!”

23 فَقَالَ ٱلْوَالِي: «وَأَيَّ شَرٍّ عَمِلَ؟». فَكَانُوا يَزْدَادُونَ صُرَاخًا قَائِلِينَ: «لِيُصْلَبْ!».

24 When Pilate saw that he was accomplishing nothing, but that instead a riot was breaking out, he took water and washed his hands before the crowd. “I am innocent of this man’s blood,” he said. “You bear the responsibility.”

24 فَلَمَّا رَأَى بِيلَاطُسُ أَنَّهُ لَا يَنْفَعُ شَيْئًا، بَلْ بِٱلْحَرِيِّ يَحْدُثُ شَغَبٌ، أَخَذَ مَاءً وَغَسَلَ يَدَيْهِ قُدَّامَ ٱلْجَمْعِ قَائِلًا: «إِنِّي بَرِيءٌ مِنْ دَمِ هَذَا ٱلْبَارِّ! أَبْصِرُوا أَنْتُمْ!».

25 All the people answered, “His blood be on us and on our children!”

25 فَأَجَابَ جَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ وَقَالُوا: «دَمُهُ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى أَوْلَادِنَا».

26 So Pilate released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed Him over to be crucified.

26 حِينَئِذٍ أَطْلَقَ لَهُمْ بَارَابَاسَ، وَأَمَّا يَسُوعُ فَجَلَدَهُ وَأَسْلَمَهُ لِيُصْلَبَ.

27 Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole company around Him.

27 فَأَخَذَ عَسْكَرُ ٱلْوَالِي يَسُوعَ إِلَى دَارِ ٱلْوِلَايَةِ وَجَمَعُوا عَلَيْهِ كُلَّ ٱلْكَتِيبَةِ،

28 They stripped Him and put a scarlet robe on Him.

28 فَعَرَّوْهُ وَأَلْبَسُوهُ رِدَاءً قِرْمِزِيًّا،

29 And they twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on His head. They put a staff in His right hand, knelt down before Him, and mocked Him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!”

29 وَضَفَرُوا إِكْلِيلًا مِنْ شَوْكٍ وَوَضَعُوهُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ، وَقَصَبَةً فِي يَمِينِهِ. وَكَانُوا يَجْثُونَ قُدَّامَهُ وَيَسْتَهْزِئُونَ بِهِ قَائِلِينَ: «ٱلسَّلَامُ يا مَلِكَ ٱلْيَهُودِ!».

30 Then they spit on Him and took the staff and struck Him on the head repeatedly.

30 وَبَصَقُوا عَلَيْهِ، وَأَخَذُوا ٱلْقَصَبَةَ وَضَرَبُوهُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ.

31 After they had mocked Him, they removed the robe and put His own clothes back on Him. Then they led Him away to crucify Him.

31 وَبَعْدَ مَا ٱسْتَهْزَأُوا بِهِ، نَزَعُوا عَنْهُ ٱلرِّدَاءَ وَأَلْبَسُوهُ ثِيَابَهُ، وَمَضَوْا بِهِ لِلصَّلْبِ.

32 Along the way they found a man from Cyrene, named Simon, and they forced him to carry the cross of Jesus.

32 وَفِيمَا هُمْ خَارِجُونَ وَجَدُوا إِنْسَانًا قَيْرَوَانِيًّا ٱسْمُهُ سِمْعَانُ، فَسَخَّرُوهُ لِيَحْمِلَ صَلِيبَهُ.

33 And when they came to a place called Golgotha, which means The Place of the Skull,

33 وَلَمَّا أَتَوْا إِلَى مَوْضِعٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ جُلْجُثَةُ، وَهُوَ ٱلْمُسَمَّى «مَوْضِعَ ٱلْجُمْجُمَةِ»

34 they offered Him wine to drink, mixed with gall; but after tasting it, He refused to drink it.

34 أَعْطَوْهُ خَلًّا مَمْزُوجًا بِمَرَارَةٍ لِيَشْرَبَ. وَلَمَّا ذَاقَ لَمْ يُرِدْ أَنْ يَشْرَبَ.

35 When they had crucified Him, they divided up His garments by casting lots.

35 وَلَمَّا صَلَبُوهُ ٱقْتَسَمُوا ثِيَابَهُ مُقْتَرِعِينَ عَلَيْهَا، لِكَيْ يَتِمَّ مَا قِيلَ بِٱلنَّبِيِّ: «ٱقْتَسَمُوا ثِيَابِي بَيْنَهُمْ، وَعَلَى لِبَاسِي أَلْقَوْا قُرْعَةً».

36 And sitting down, they kept watch over Him there.

36 ثُمَّ جَلَسُوا يَحْرُسُونَهُ هُنَاكَ.

37 Above His head they posted the written charge against Him: THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

37 وَجَعَلُوا فَوْقَ رَأْسِهِ عِلَّتَهُ مَكْتُوبَةً: «هَذَا هُوَ يَسُوعُ مَلِكُ ٱلْيَهُودِ».

38 Two robbers were crucified with Him, one on His right and the other on His left.

38 حِينَئِذٍ صُلِبَ مَعَهُ لِصَّانِ، وَاحِدٌ عَنِ ٱلْيَمِينِ وَوَاحِدٌ عَنِ ٱلْيَسَارِ.

39 And those who passed by heaped abuse on Him, shaking their heads

39 وَكَانَ ٱلْمُجْتَازُونَ يُجَدِّفُونَ عَلَيْهِ وَهُمْ يَهُزُّونَ رُؤُوسَهُمْ

40 and saying, “You who are going to destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save Yourself! If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross!”

40 قَائِلِينَ: «يَا نَاقِضَ ٱلْهَيْكَلِ وَبَانِيَهُ فِي ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ، خَلِّصْ نَفْسَكَ! إِنْ كُنْتَ ٱبْنَ ٱللهِ فَٱنْزِلْ عَنِ ٱلصَّلِيبِ!».

41 In the same way, the chief priests, scribes, and elders mocked Him, saying,

41 وَكَذَلِكَ رُؤَسَاءُ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ أَيْضًا وَهُمْ يَسْتَهْزِئُونَ مَعَ ٱلْكَتَبَةِ وَٱلشُّيُوخِ قَالُوا:

42 “He saved others, but He cannot save Himself. He is the King of Israel! Let Him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in Him.

42 «خَلَّصَ آخَرِينَ وَأَمَّا نَفْسُهُ فَمَا يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يُخَلِّصَهَا! إِنْ كَانَ هُوَ مَلِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ فَلْيَنْزِلِ ٱلْآنَ عَنِ ٱلصَّلِيبِ فَنُؤْمِنَ بِهِ!

43 He trusts in God. Let God deliver Him now if He wants Him. For He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”

43 قَدِ ٱتَّكَلَ عَلَى ٱللهِ، فَلْيُنْقِذْهُ ٱلْآنَ إِنْ أَرَادَهُ! لِأَنَّهُ قَالَ: أَنَا ٱبْنُ ٱللهِ!».

44 In the same way, even the robbers who were crucified with Him berated Him.

44 وَبِذَلِكَ أَيْضًا كَانَ ٱللِّصَّانِ ٱللَّذَانِ صُلِبَا مَعَهُ يُعَيِّرَانِهِ.

45 From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land.

45 وَمِنَ ٱلسَّاعَةِ ٱلسَّادِسَةِ كَانَتْ ظُلْمَةٌ عَلَى كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ إِلَى ٱلسَّاعَةِ ٱلتَّاسِعَةِ.

46 About the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” which means, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”

46 وَنَحْوَ ٱلسَّاعَةِ ٱلتَّاسِعَةِ صَرَخَ يَسُوعُ بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ قَائِلًا: «إِيلِي، إِيلِي، لَمَا شَبَقْتَنِي؟» أَيْ: إِلَهِي، إِلَهِي، لِمَاذَا تَرَكْتَنِي؟

47 When some of those standing there heard this, they said, “He is calling Elijah.”

47 فَقَوْمٌ مِنَ ٱلْوَاقِفِينَ هُنَاكَ لَمَّا سَمِعُوا قَالُوا: «إِنَّهُ يُنَادِي إِيلِيَّا».

48 One of them quickly ran and brought a sponge. He filled it with sour wine, put it on a reed, and held it up for Jesus to drink.

48 وَلِلْوَقْتِ رَكَضَ وَاحِدٌ مِنْهُمْ وَأَخَذَ إِسْفِنْجَةً وَمَلَأَهَا خَلًّا وَجَعَلَهَا عَلَى قَصَبَةٍ وَسَقَاهُ.

49 But the others said, “Leave Him alone. Let us see if Elijah comes to save Him.”

49 وَأَمَّا ٱلْبَاقُونَ فَقَالُوا: «ٱتْرُكْ. لِنَرَى هَلْ يَأْتِي إِيلِيَّا يُخَلِّصُهُ!».

50 When Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, He yielded up His spirit.

50 فَصَرَخَ يَسُوعُ أَيْضًا بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ، وَأَسْلَمَ ٱلرُّوحَ.

51 At that moment the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth quaked, and the rocks were split.

51 وَإِذَا حِجَابُ ٱلْهَيْكَلِ قَدِ ٱنْشَقَّ إِلَى ٱثْنَيْنِ، مِنْ فَوْقُ إِلَى أَسْفَلُ. وَٱلْأَرْضُ تَزَلْزَلَتْ، وَٱلصُّخُورُ تَشَقَّقَتْ،

52 The tombs broke open, and the bodies of many saints who had fallen asleep were raised.

52 وَٱلْقُبُورُ تَفَتَّحَتْ، وَقَامَ كَثِيرٌ مِنْ أَجْسَادِ ٱلْقِدِّيسِينَ ٱلرَّاقِدِينَ

53 After Jesus’ resurrection, when they had come out of the tombs, they entered the holy city and appeared to many people.

53 وَخَرَجُوا مِنَ ٱلْقُبُورِ بَعْدَ قِيَامَتِهِ، وَدَخَلُوا ٱلْمَدِينَةَ ٱلْمُقَدَّسَةَ، وَظَهَرُوا لِكَثِيرِينَ.

54 When the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and all that had happened, they were terrified and said, “Truly this was the Son of God.”

54 وَأَمَّا قَائِدُ ٱلْمِئَةِ وَٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُ يَحْرُسُونَ يَسُوعَ فَلَمَّا رَأَوْا ٱلزَّلْزَلَةَ وَمَا كَانَ، خَافُوا جِدًّا وَقَالُوا: «حَقًّا كَانَ هَذَا ٱبْنَ ٱللهِ!».

55 And many women were there, watching from a distance. They had followed Jesus from Galilee to minister to Him.

55 وَكَانَتْ هُنَاكَ نِسَاءٌ كَثِيرَاتٌ يَنْظُرْنَ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ، وَهُنَّ كُنَّ قَدْ تَبِعْنَ يَسُوعَ مِنَ ٱلْجَلِيلِ يَخْدِمْنَهُ،

56 Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of Zebedee’s sons.

56 وَبَيْنَهُنَّ مَرْيَمُ ٱلْمَجْدَلِيَّةُ، وَمَرْيَمُ أُمُّ يَعْقُوبَ وَيُوسِي، وَأُمُّ ٱبْنَيْ زَبْدِي.

57 When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea named Joseph, who himself was a disciple of Jesus.

57 وَلَمَّا كَانَ ٱلْمَسَاءُ، جَاءَ رَجُلٌ غَنِيٌّ مِنَ ٱلرَّامَةِ ٱسْمُهُ يُوسُفُ، وَكَانَ هُوَ أَيْضًا تِلْمِيذًا لِيَسُوعَ.

58 He went to Pilate to ask for the body of Jesus, and Pilate ordered that it be given to him.

58 فَهَذَا تَقَدَّمَ إِلَى بِيلَاطُسَ وَطَلَبَ جَسَدَ يَسُوعَ. فَأَمَرَ بِيلَاطُسُ حِينَئِذٍ أَنْ يُعْطَى ٱلْجَسَدُ.

59 So Joseph took the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

59 فَأَخَذَ يُوسُفُ ٱلْجَسَدَ وَلَفَّهُ بِكَتَّانٍ نَقِيٍّ،

60 and placed it in his own new tomb that he had cut into the rock. Then he rolled a great stone across the entrance to the tomb and went away.

60 وَوَضَعَهُ فِي قَبْرِهِ ٱلْجَدِيدِ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ قَدْ نَحَتَهُ فِي ٱلصَّخْرَةِ، ثُمَّ دَحْرَجَ حَجَرًا كَبِيرًا عَلَى بَابِ ٱلْقَبْرِ وَمَضَى.

61 Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were sitting there opposite the tomb.

61 وَكَانَتْ هُنَاكَ مَرْيَمُ ٱلْمَجْدَلِيَّةُ وَمَرْيَمُ ٱلْأُخْرَى جَالِسَتَيْنِ تُجَاهَ ٱلْقَبْرِ.

62 The next day, the one after Preparation Day, the chief priests and Pharisees assembled before Pilate.

62 وَفِي ٱلْغَدِ ٱلَّذِي بَعْدَ ٱلِٱسْتِعْدَادِ ٱجْتَمَعَ رُؤَسَاءُ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَٱلْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ إِلَى بِيلَاطُسَ

63 “Sir,” they said, “we remember that while He was alive that deceiver said, ‘After three days I will rise again.’

63 قَائِلِينَ: «يَا سَيِّدُ، قَدْ تَذَكَّرْنَا أَنَّ ذَلِكَ ٱلْمُضِلَّ قَالَ وَهُوَ حَيٌّ: إِنِّي بَعْدَ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ أَقُومُ.

64 So give the order that the tomb be secured until the third day. Otherwise, His disciples may come and steal Him away and tell the people He has risen from the dead. And this last deception would be worse than the first.”

64 فَمُرْ بِضَبْطِ ٱلْقَبْرِ إِلَى ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّالِثِ، لِئَلَّا يَأْتِيَ تَلَامِيذُهُ لَيْلًا وَيَسْرِقُوهُ، وَيَقُولُوا لِلشَّعْبِ: إِنَّهُ قَامَ مِنَ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ، فَتَكُونَ ٱلضَّلَالَةُ ٱلْأَخِيرَةُ أَشَرَّ مِنَ ٱلْأُولَى!».

65 “You have a guard,” Pilate said. “Go, make the tomb as secure as you know how.”

65 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ بِيلَاطُسُ: «عِنْدَكُمْ حُرَّاسٌ. اِذْهَبُوا وَٱضْبُطُوهُ كَمَا تَعْلَمُونَ».

66 So they went and secured the tomb by sealing the stone and posting the guard.

66 فَمَضَوْا وَضَبَطُوا ٱلْقَبْرَ بِٱلْحُرَّاسِ وَخَتَمُوا ٱلْحَجَرَ.
